[00:00] escott, Can you point me in the right direction please. [00:00] Woohoo! got E17 desktop env working with wifi.. :) No to load KDE so I can convince the wife the Natty+KDE >= Windows! [00:00] s/no/now [00:00] FluffyMittensOfD, #backtrack-linux apparently it is similar enough to ubuntu that their people end up in here [00:00] escott: someone ran an fsck and can't find the log of what is actually wrong with the hdd [00:01] i'm trying to locat the log for such information [00:01] hi how do i run a .sh file? [00:01] FluffyMittensOfD: ask in #madwifi [00:01] do i have to make it executble? [00:01] I figure once I get her used to KDE I'll hit her up with Unity :D [00:01] kingofswords: one way sh foo.sh or chmod+x foo.sh then ./foo.sh [00:01] exutux, I already have. [00:01] kingofswords: chmod +x foo.sh then ./foo.sh [00:01] dr_willis, thanks [00:02] sam555, its unclear what you mean by "log" there is a filesystem log which is part of ext3 and ext4 and it will be recovered if there is a unclean umount, but that is done by fsck. if you want to know if the drive is failing look at the smart status in the disk utility or use smartmon-tools [00:02] kingofswords: dare we ask what this script is doing? :) [00:02] dr_willis, do i have to add the path aswell? [00:02] Hi, I have a weird issue. About halfway through booting my laptop screen dims to 0 brightness and i have to manually use the Fn keys to raise brightness back up. I know I was able to fix this last time i reinstalled by having some command start at boot that put brightness at max but i dont remember what it is [00:02] dr_willis, veetle player [00:02] kingofswords: ./foo.sh -> is giving the full path.. so in this example no. [00:02] /path/to/whatever/foo.sh [00:02] Mneumonic, the command will echo an integer to /sys/something/backlight/brightness [00:03] 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? [00:03] I'm hating these scroll bars in the 11.04 UI. Can I alter that easily? [00:03] FluffyMittensOfD: there is a wiki too https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Madwifi?highlight=%28ManufacturerModel%29 [00:03] escott: is there a way in the shell to run this disk utility? [00:03] battlehands: You mean the left side Unity Panel? [00:03] Hi folks. === wilson_ is now known as Guest60767 [00:03] Mneumonic, /sys/class/backlight [00:03] i'm having problems encoding a file i made in glc, as described here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1828513 [00:03] escott: I thought that under /var/log there would be a log of the fsck [00:03] that doesn't work [00:04] sam555, fsck is not logged, it is an interactive process [00:04] it does hte command but doesn't adjust the brightness [00:04] Moruzsa: check out http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/things-to-tweak-fix-after-installing.html [00:04] dr_willis, i think so [00:04] sam555, so in terminal fsck /dev/sdX# replacing X# as appropriate sda1 or sdb2 etc [00:04] it was an echo command but i can't seem to find the right one [00:04] I thougth it was like /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video/brightness [00:05] i have two folders in backlight called acpi_video0 and acpi_video1 [00:05] both have a brigthness in them and i tried both but the terminal says permission denied [00:05] exutux, I'm aware. I'm confused on what I need to do. There is more documentation to drown in then getting it installed [00:05] battlehands: its known to be a bit buggy. the compiz 'ccsm' tool has a plugin with settings to tweak its autohide/hide/nothide settings. - I set it to never hide myself. you could try the differnt settings and it may start working. [00:05] escott: Can I run fsck while people are using the server? [00:05] Mneumonic, echo 99 > /sys/class/.... as identified, just be sure to do it inside a sudo -i terminal [00:05] sam555, not if the partition is mounted [00:05] i see, thanks for the help!!! [00:06] battlehands: or you can reset thepanel back to defaults -> 'unity --reset' or 'unity --reset-icons' [00:06] dr_willis, in terminal? [00:06] battlehands: where else you going to type in such a command? :) yes in a termianl.. [00:06] perfect now where do i put it to have it do it in startup [00:06] dr_willis, that command not found [00:06] battlehands: which command... [00:06] dr_willis, I just found that link right before you posted it [00:06] dr_willis, you're always here, do you have a day job man ? : ) dr. stein (md) [00:07] Mneumonic, rc.local [00:07] dr_willis, unit--reset [00:07] where is the firewall configuration in ubuntu? [00:07] thank you so much! [00:07] ben_stein: when im at work (on third shift) i got my android phone. [00:07] and se linux [00:07] Mneumonic, and you dont have to worry about sudo for rc.local [00:07] where is that [00:07] battlehands: if thats the exact command you used.. you spelt it wrong.. [00:07] !ufw | T0X|C [00:07] T0X|C: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist. [00:07] dr_willis, hardcore [00:07] dr_willis, that worked. thanks [00:07] ben_stein: :) [00:08] found it [00:08] escott, thanks [00:08] Mneumonic: you can use xgamma too [00:09] how does one list the partitions in ubuntu? [00:09] fdisk ? [00:09] sam555, cat /proc/partitions is better [00:10] escott: thanks again! [00:10] Fdisk -l should do as well :) [00:10] ...Alright, well. No help on installing, telling me to go download another flavor when I have a cruddy 30kb connection.

[00:13] FluffyMittensOfD, we wish you all success in your potentially illegal activity. we just don't want it discussed here [00:13] cd4046 [00:14] sdk__, disks larger than 3TB use a different partition scheme that fdisk doesn't support, so its better to use /proc/partitions where the kernel identifies the partition table and contents === jrib is now known as Guest25865 [00:14] escott, no illegal activity, just trying to learn more about this crap. [00:14] In a multi-boot Win/Linux system, is grub installed to the first drive on the controller or to the linux drive? [00:14] Ahh ok === Guest25865 is now known as jrib [00:15] RB2_notebook, to the mbr of the drive that has the /boot partition generally [00:16] RB2_notebook, in multidisk systems i recommend manually installing grub to both mbrs and then you dont have to worry about boot order [00:16] hi i installed ubuntu to a hardware raid0 stripe i told ubuntu installer to install grub to /dev/mapper/Volume0 (which is my ext4 / ) but it fails how can i get grub or grub2 installed onto my newly installed system? [00:16] I just installed the ubuntu download on my windows 7 pc and my screen went blank, can anybody help [00:16] what's the command to have fsck run at the computer is booting up? [00:17] i want to be able to run fsck on unmounted partitions [00:17] sam555: sudo touch /forcefsck [00:17] exutux: thansk! [00:18] ok. fuck this cya [00:18] lol [00:18] c4pt, is this fakeraid/biosraid? [00:18] later [00:18] escott, well im using physical raid with my onboard controller but ubuntu detects the raid0 as dmraid [00:18] escott, i thinks its intel storage array raid [00:19] *i think [00:19] escott, thanks.. total confusion is raining because my bios is uefi, but the drives are set to AHCI and it's refusing to install correctly no matter what I do [00:19] c4pt, intel is fakeraid. im not sure what you might need to do to get things working, but google around for fakeraid [00:19] escott, ok [00:19] thanx [00:20] RB2_notebook, exciting. im afraid i don't know much about Uefi [00:20] escott, at this point, I wish it wasn't in the picture. lol [00:21] The motherboard supports legacy mbr, but nothing is agreeable at the moment. hehe [00:22] I'm trying to convert a pdf to a png with the convert command. I'm trying to keep the quality high. What value should I put for the -quality switch? [00:23] escott, actually, that's not completely true.. when I boot, I get grub.. but just an error 15. None of the instructions on fixing that error seem to have helped. I guess I'm just assuming it's related to the uefi. Perhaps it's not [00:24] hi ho do i log in as root? [00:24] xubuntu [00:24] nevermind, i just read the pdf into gimp [00:24] how do i log on as root [00:25] HI [00:25] hi [00:25] AM USING THE HAWAI DINGEL [00:25] SRY DONGEL [00:25] and [00:25] anyone here know how to log on as root please [00:25] i [00:25] sry i dont know [00:25] am new here [00:26] thats cool [00:26] i just today instaled this os [00:26] me too [00:26] !root | crowin1 [00:26] crowin1: 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 [00:26] ubottu [00:26] yes but sudo wont help me [00:26] crowin1: for what? [00:26] i need to change some files and cannot access unless i am root [00:27] crowin1: use sudo [00:27] you can do it [00:27] i am trying to write my interfaces file for networks [00:27] crowin1, gksudo gedit [00:28] ill try [00:28] that [00:28] crowin1: xubuntu?

[00:30] crowin1: gksudo mousepad /etc/network/interfaces [00:31] hhi [00:31] i want to add the mobile broadband to my connection can you help me [00:31] So, anyone know how to get a VIA Technologies, Inc. VT1708/A [Azalia HDAC] sound card to work in Ubuntu (11.04)? [00:31] cannot open folder to access file [00:32] crowin1: *sudo [00:32] crowin1, did it prompt for password? [00:33] I thought I remembered there being something added to the boot line in the loader. But, I've tried everything I've found online and nothing has worked thus far. [00:33] sudo mousepad /etc/network/interfaces [00:33] ek: it may be mentioned at askubuntu.com or in the forums. [00:34] dr_willis: Yup. Mentioned many times. All kinds of different things to try. Nothing has worked. [00:34] I was just curious if anyone here was using the same card/driver and knew off the top of their head how they got it working. [00:35] restarting thanks guys hope it works [00:38] is there an easy way to recover email deleted from mut (/var/spool/mail/stein) [00:38] ? [00:38] mutt [00:40] man this is so frustrating, i thought windows was bad [00:40] You dont want to get me started on my windows horror stories..

[00:42] thanks yes im a bleddin idiot [00:42] Please get back to actual support. [00:42] im too stupid to be helped [00:42] sometimes the gui utilities don't work, the command line items seem to be better [00:42] I am having trouble connecting to a wired network (eth0) when the wifi (eth1) is going... route reports "192.168.2.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 1 0 0 eth0" .... ping says "Destination Host Unreachable" .... what is wrong?

[00:44] or spend $$ on a better supported wireless card? [00:45] for example, the network manager doesn't connect most cdma and 3g modems but if you use wvdial MOST will work fine with the correct settings [00:45] not that i want to support them, its because i really want to move away from thisw table and wit in a comfy chair [00:45] crowin11: all I have heard from you since I arrived is whining. If you stated a problem clearly, maybe someone could help [00:45] crowin11: you cant get wireless working on Ubuntu?

[00:46] omk thanks [00:46] crowin11: it's a different distribution [00:46] \aloha [00:46] xubuntu uses network-manager also dont it? [00:46] xubuntu is also supported here but yes maybe #xubuntu can be more help. [00:46] ok [00:46] all i really saw was someone wanting to edit a file.. :) [00:47] too many trolls here anyway [00:47] please dont call other users "trolls" [00:47] .. [00:47] crowin11, who's a troll, all i see are people trying to help you [00:47] pff [00:47] :) [00:49] it's calm today [00:50] cuz the air is on fire. [00:50] any know why ubuntu gives no screen after switching from an onboard video to a pci video card [00:50] DaVampsWin, check your bios [00:50] skpl : bios is set to look for any type of card [00:50] oh, nm then [00:51] made sure of that before booting straight in to ubuntu [00:51] is there a way to continue an e2fsck check if it finds an error? [00:51] DaVampsWin: do you even see the grub menu/boot screens? [00:52] Dr_Willis : that's the last thing i see before the screen go black [00:52] also, can fsck be run on sda or sdb? [00:52] sam555: check it by a live cd [00:52] or is just about sda1 and sdb1 [00:53] sda1 [00:53] exutux: I"m running a live cd right now and it stopped at this one block, but I wanted to continue from the block without starting from the start [00:53] DaVampsWin: get to the grub menu, edit teh boot line and change 'quiet splash' to be 'text' to get to a console then check things out. or try 'noquiet nosplash' and perhaps see some boot error messages [00:53] sam555: sda1 or sdb1 (you run it on partitions, not drives) [00:53] Hello. I would like to see a question answered [00:53] vfw: I see [00:53] DaVampsWin: what was the video chipset befor? what is it now? [00:53] sam555: man fsck may help you using some options [00:54] dr_willis : started with an onboard i believe intel chip, now will be using an ati chip [00:54] exutux: gotcha [00:54] But,, What happens is during install, on the configuring hardware part, it just COMPLETELY shuts down the computer. [00:54] DaVampsWin: Get to the console, and install the ati drivers perhaps. [00:54] can you run fsck on the swap partition? [00:54] test? [00:54] sam555: I always use the -y switch [00:54] DaVampsWin: or at least try 'startx' from console and look for error messages [00:55] sam555: no [00:55] dr_willis : apt-get install ati? [00:55] vfw: thanks [00:56] DaVampsWin: i dont know the pacakge name, [00:56] Hi. I'm using 10.04 and along the top horiz menu/task bar I am missing some things - e.g. 'preferences' 'administration' 'places' etc. All I have on the left side of the task bar, in fact is a Firefox logo and question mark.

[00:58] DaVampsWin: ctrl+alt+f2..3..n too [00:58] exutux " [00:59] DaVampsWin: try it and see. i think so. i always remove that option form my grub menu. :) [00:59] DaVampsWin: get to the grub menu, edit teh boot line and change 'quiet splash' to be 'text' to get to a console then check things out. or try 'noquiet nosplash' and perhaps see some boot error messages [00:59] or revovery mode :) [00:59] ,exutux : i'm at grub, ctrl + alt + f2 there?

My VPN List has several items in it, how ever it shows a blank window about 1px in height(No listings), if i hit the disconnect button to D/C from my wifi, it does nothing ~ Networking manger is not responding? This has happened for about a month. Is there a fix for this as of yet? [01:02] gmachine_24: if you log in one day and find two menu bars, just right click and remove one. [01:02] exutux : i installed an older ATI video, after grub i get a black screen... [01:02] DaVampsWin: if you need to install drivers, you can do it from there without modify grub [01:02] overclucker, right, I was just playing around with it and removed it and moved it to the side so all is well. Thanks again. [01:02] cao [01:02] waht === anonymous is now known as Guest86831 [01:03] exutux : after press "c" at grub, its not even allowing me to use "sudo" [01:03] 几把 [01:03] DaVampsWin: ??

[01:35] DaVampsWin: Now the kernel option you gave is not persistent. ie. it wont 'stick' across reboots.

[01:38] hi anyone recomend of getting gnome 3 [01:38] DaVampsWin: What you should know is that your older radeon is one of the lowest supported by the radeon driver (it's an r200 chipset) and the new KMS driver (kernel modesetting) may not work with that card well, or at all [01:38] DaVampsWin: So you may have to settle for the old driver by having the radeon driver load without modesetting by default [01:38] Tiktalik: What problem are you having?

[02:17] DaVamps-Ubuntu: Now 'gksu gedit /etc/default/grub' and edit GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT to just add radeon.modeset=0 or nomodeset to the options there [02:17] DaVamps-Ubuntu: After saving the file, run 'sudo update-grub2' to apply the changes, then reboot to test [02:18] Q: Is there a GUI tool to edit/create custom Launchers for Unity? alacarte is ~20Megs of extra packages and I am not sure it will do what i want.. [02:18] /usr/share/applications and .desktop files are all just freedesktop.org stuff, right? [02:19] saludos hermanos [02:19] buenas noches [02:20] bjv, yes freedesktop houses the standards (such as they are) [02:20] soreau, in qoutes after or included in the quotes already present? [02:20] escott: does Ubuntu package a GUI tool to create launchers for it, though? [02:21] no luck searching (found alacarte) [02:21] bjv, the main one is alacarte. i dont know of any others [02:21] DaVamps-Ubuntu: Included in the quotes.

[02:26] bjv, does Unity use either? [02:26] according to this guy, yeah http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9910899&postcount=4 [02:27] only instructions i could find on adding custom launchers to unity [02:28] bjv, it was my impression that unity still uses the launchers [02:29] hi, for apache2, I read ubuntu 11.04 doc, it says 'ErrorDocument' directive can be found under apache2.conf. and Alias directive direct error msg in apache2.conf. but none of them can be found under apache2.conf. the doc is totally incorrect. where can I find the ErrorDocument setup? thanks.

Anyone had experience with windows opening and (a) not remembering size & position (b) being shifted off screen partially and sometimes behind the panel? [02:56] This seems to happen mostly (if not only) with evince [02:58] Ubuntu 11 here, and wanting to get setup with ruby on rails 3, but it seems that via apt-get, I'm given rails 2.3.5. I've found a few articles online searching, but no really clear guides on how best to get setup with rails 3. Or this a question for a ruby channel instead? Advice appreciated [02:58] i hear that in place distrobution upgrades on highly customized systems is pretty much a recipie for disaster...is this true? Like if I installed 11.04 today, then customized it to hell, and then did idst-upgrade to 11.10, would I be risking it? [02:59] interlocutor: Yes. [02:59] Any good movie recommendations for tonights torrents? [02:59] interlocutor: It pulls any and all default apps that are in 11.10... [02:59] interlocutor: No fun [02:59] nac-godfather: Offtopic [02:59] bleh [03:00] sstchur, DO NOT USE anything from the repos for ruby [03:00] theadmin: "nac-godfather: Offtopic" Offtopic [03:00] get RVM and do it right [03:00] nac-godfather: This is not a chat channel, nor is it a piracy channel. [03:00] yeah, don't even touch your ruby, is my opinion, I just messed mine up royally the other night trying to update [03:01] interlocutor, ok, I've read a bit about RVM and gave it a shot, yesterday but it was such a disaster -- I royally screwed things up [03:01] RVM is a wonderful thing [03:01] RVM is easy, just follow the guides [03:01] hi [03:01] everything is self-contained, so you can't screw up that badly [03:01] interlocutor: What's so wrong with "sudo gem install rails" >.< [03:01] yeah, tell me that after you get the never-ending yaml warnings after an upgrade with rvm [03:01] interlocutor, does one need to first remove everything that was installed with apt-get? [03:01] warning: possible political question. why did ubuntu switch to Unity over GNOME in 11.04? [03:02] dave__: Cause Unity is more netbook-friendly and it's also a Canonical software [03:02] interlocutor, this is my confusion? the RVM guides don't seem to clearly explain all what you need to get started [03:02] for instance, when I tried the curl command which was supposed to run the install script, nothing happened [03:02] well, do you have curl installed? [03:02] yes [03:02] dave_: Unity is used also because Gnome 2 is being phased out [03:03] dave__, they already had something developed with the netbook remix so they decided to extend it rather than use gnome3 which wasnt on their timeline [03:03] should I apt-get remove rails before I start with RVM? [03:03] dave__, you dislike unity ? :) I hated at first, took me a week to get used to - much quicker. i like the idea of searching for everything rather than mousing stuff. Nerd much :x [03:03] I followed the directions from the following URL to get ipv6 up and running. My DSL provider gives me a dynamic IP. Is there a simple solution to have my IPv4 address automatically updated with Hurricane Electric? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IPv6#Get_connected_with_Hurricane_Electric [03:03] i see the plot thickens [03:03] http://www.christopherirish.com/2010/08/25/how-to-install-rvm-on-ubuntu-10-04/ follow that for RVM [03:04] hyperstream: You may like Launchy, which allows you to search not only for all apps you have but also any files in specified directories :) [03:04] that is also applicable for ubuntu 11? [03:04] yes, perfectly [03:04] theadmin, ooOoo thanks, i'll have to check it out :) [03:05] sstchur: here's a better one! http://blog.dcxn.com/2011/06/20/setting-up-rvm-on-ubuntu-11-04/ [03:05] interlocutor, thanks, I will give it a go [03:05] <[THC]AcidRain> ok. need a little help. when linux boots. i think grub is trying to mount my 2 external drives [03:05] yep, and here's the one I used [03:05] http://beginrescueend.com/rvm/install/ [03:06] <[THC]AcidRain> how do i get them to mount when computer loads? [03:06] theadmin, hyperstream, HSP : its not that i dont like unity, i was just curious if somebody at GNOME pissed off somebody at ubuntu (canonical) [03:06] i find gnome works fine [03:06] <[THC]AcidRain> or... perhaps i think its trying to boot from them. i started having this issue after a bios upgrade [03:06] maybe unity has performance increases? [03:06] dave__: If you've seen Gnome3 you wouldn't think so. [03:06] sstchur, to install rails, first install ruby, get latest ruby version then install it, to install rails simply execute gem install rails [03:06] On a completely unrelated note, I have a Samsung QX410 and while the touchpad works in Ubuntu, the inability to disable touchpad while typing is driving me crazy -- anyone know a solution for this (besides manually hitting fn+f10 to disable/enable touchpad)? [03:06] dhye, but taht will give me rails 2.3.5 wont it? [03:06] Hi [03:06] dave__, gnome3 and unity are very similar === nitro is now known as Guest2177 [03:07] dave__, i admit, im also using gnome at current. Waiting on one piece of software i use to support unity :). Its due any time :) [03:07] dave__, VPNAutoconnect hasnt been updated to be exact :) [03:07] dave__:nah, it's about making Ubuntu more modern (I guess) and appealing to the younger folks (I guess) and to make the UI more friendly. I like old Gnome personally [03:07] <[THC]AcidRain> /dev/sda1 * 1 9338 75005952 83 Linux [03:07] theadmin, i see...im about to find out as just installed it for my parents (updating their jaunty jackalope) [03:07] <[THC]AcidRain> it says it will boot from my internal drive [03:07] I love how this wireless keyboard only works for about a day, before I need to change the batteries again. Distance to usb dongle, about 2 feet. [03:08] i have the broadcom 4312 chipset wifi card, can i use b43 or not,ive looked around angd getting contradictory answers, if yes, then what kernel do i need and what commands do i run? [03:08] the bcm4312 chipset [03:09] <[THC]AcidRain> how do i remove menu items from places? [03:09] hyperstream, lol yea i was going to guess something with the network manager in general [03:09] :) [03:09] Are there any dangers with allocating a partition from a NTFS one, installing ubuntu onto it when I already have Windows 7 installed on another hard-drive? (and want to dual-boot?) [03:09] bsmith093: You probably would rather want broadcom-wl, b43 is somewhat old [03:10] HSP, i will give it a shot, though im sure my parents are going to be bitching as they just started to figure out their way around GNOME [03:10] Bash: Defragment the NTFS partition, run a chkdsk /f on it, after which resize it and create an ext4 partition in the resulting space to install Ubuntu on. [03:10] Bash: Dual boot implies two OSs on the same drive. Do you have two drives or a single drive with multiple OSs? [03:10] Bash: not much ~ i did alot NTFS resize and moving be4. [03:10] i would like to enable monitor mode, which one does that, im running kernel 2.6.32-33-generic lucid [03:10] HSP: Multiple drives. [03:11] theadmin: The installer can handle that after chkdsk? [03:11] dave__: They won't bitch about no viruses. Where I work, we run mostly Windows and drive-by downloads, scareware, etc. are continuously plaguing our PCs [03:11] Bash: Sure, but you might also want to resize the partition from within Windows if you have win7. It's much faster. [03:12] Either way, I gtg. [03:12] currently\, according to network manager, im running the "wl" driver, not the "broadcom-wl" driver, if ther's a difference [03:12] theadmin: Right. But there's no huge risk when installing ubuntu with it overwriting MBR as in the old days? [03:13] so is there a driver for lucid, that supports the bcm4312 monitoring mode, and the other things? [03:13] HSP: true i have had them on since about 2007 and honestly, no real problems. plus i dont have to worry about them downloading some bat or exe and running it on "accident" [03:13] Bash: then you probably won't dual-boot.... unless you have two drives in a single system, but in that case your BIOS is going to set one as the default boot device. I suppose if that were the case you could install Ubuntu on one drive and edit the Grub config to have one of the menu items be Win7 on the other drive [03:13] interlocutor, that guide doesn't work [03:14] <[THC]AcidRain> grr [03:14] Bash: the installation will have option that where you want GURB install, just keep eyes open :> [03:14] sstchur, yes it is, but you van install manuall of rails depend which version do you want === wildbat1 is now known as wildbat [03:14] dave__: my kids use Linux Mint Debian for that very reason. Every OS has it's issues and I've got complaints about Linux for sure but I still love it for a lot of reasons. [03:14] dhye, how do I specify the version of rails? [03:14] sstchur: you're probably thinking that RVM is install and forget, you have to USE the environment [03:15] you actually run your apps inside an RVM environment [03:15] <[THC]AcidRain> ok im getting an error saying the mount point does not exist. how do i remove the mountpoint so i can readd it? [03:15] I think you need to do some more reading [03:15] [THC]AcidRain, mountpoint is the directory that you attach to. you need to mkdir the mountpoint [03:15] general question though: my dad is into video editing. now he is currently using "cinelerra-cv" suite. im kinda done with it. anybody know any other good opensource video editing software for linux? [03:15] HSP: Right, maybe dual-boot is the wrong word for it, but wondering if I can install ubuntu onto a drive and select that drive to be main boot drive, in which I point Grub to the Windows drive, (without mucking up the MBR) [03:15] interlocutor, i'm just trying to install the dependencies (1st step) [03:15] Or, find a distro that isn't based off of Debians Ruby packages [03:15] sstchur, goto http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=307 , theres lso standalone package of rails [03:16] <[THC]AcidRain> escott, but its already listed. i know for a fact that the directory is not there. but i think this has somethign to do with grub not loading properly while my other drives are hooked up at boot [03:16] btw sstchur, you might try #rubyonrails :) [03:16] Unable to locate package lib1g [03:16] <[THC]AcidRain> because its like the mount point is being created 2 times [03:16] ok, i will try that [03:16] Bash, if you have two drives yes, install grub to drive b and set b to be the boot disk [03:17] escott: Just so I'm 100% clear, IF I were to remove that drive in the future, would Win7 still be bootable as usual? [03:17] Bash: I'm sure that would work but I've never installed Ubuntu in that particular configuration. The Ubuntu installer probably won't auto-configure dual boot for you. But, yes, you should be able to make the Ubuntu drive the default boot device (boot order) and configure Grub with an entry for the Windows drive. [03:17] Bash, yes if you don't overwrite the mbr of the windows disk then removing the ubuntu disk will leave you with an mbr that would load windows. [03:17] <[THC]AcidRain> man wtf. i just want my system to boot when i tell it to [03:17] can anyone comment on opensource ATI drivers vs FGLRX performance? [03:17] soreau : after that edit.. i was able to reboot right to the ubuntu login.. [03:18] Bash, but you may want to manually install grub to make sure that it doesnt touch the windows drive mbr [03:18] [THC]AcidRain, it boots when you press power button this isnt enough ?! [03:18] <[THC]AcidRain> hyperstream, no it doesnt do that lol [03:18] Bash, or yank the windows drive, install ubuntu, the replug the windows disk and rerun grub-mkconfig [03:19] <[THC]AcidRain> /dev/sdf1 is set to a boot disk. how to i remove this? [03:19] [THC]AcidRain, the bootable flag usually doesn't matter, but you could remove it with fdisk [03:19] escott: I think that might be the safest bet, yeah. Thanks!

[03:24] Thankyou [03:24] now i realise that i can choose gnome or unity lol [03:24] I would tend to disagree with that viewpoint [03:25] awsome. [03:25] im trying to remov wl and install b43 to get montioring mode working on my bcm4312 wifi card, how do i do that? [03:25] HiDeHo: unity runs in gnome.. you have the option of that or 'classic gnome' which is just without unity [03:25] may i ask if there is a version of ubuntu like 8.04 that works on old computers. [03:25] <[THC]AcidRain> urlin2u, i think my grub problem is that both my external drives are set as a boot drive. and somehow its bypassing my bios and making it try to boot from them first, because when they are hooked up. it makes me chose which version of grub or w/e to try and boot with. and i select something and the logo screen font is all small and ugly looking. if i unplug both of them, it seems to boot up normal.

[03:26] unity runs on top og gnome HiDeHo [03:26] yes soreau i found that out [03:26] !lubuntu | HiDeHo [03:26] HiDeHo: lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu . /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [03:26] bsmith093, yeah. The STA drivers are installed already [03:26] <[THC]AcidRain> urlin2u, another issue. is that my mountpoint is /media/Server2, and there are 2 of those exact same mountpoints. but when i delete 1, the other one still says its there, but i cant remove it [03:26] [THC]AcidRain, you would have to have grub in their mbr's the boot flag is not a issue.

I'm trying to install rails 3.0, but only rails 2.5 is available through the ubuntu software center. Why is it that the ubuntu software center has older packages in my livecd usb stick? [03:27] makka, thats all? How do you think I'm online right now? [03:28] fluffy: i was then able to download the 3rd party driver [03:28] HiDeHo: Use Lubuntu [03:28] !latest | deadaim [03:28] deadaim: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [03:28] makka, which 3rd party driver did you get? [03:28] ubottu: In my ubuntu installation on my laptop, I'm able to get rails 3.0 without a problem. [03:28] deadaim: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:28] \i always thought ubuntu could have maintained ubuntu 8.04 as an old computer support. kernels no longer support old hardware [03:29] deadaim: Are they the same version of ubuntu? [03:29] fluffy: I don't remember off the top of my head, i was prompted to install it, when I finished install ubuntu [03:29] <[THC]AcidRain> mount: /dev/sdf1 already mounted or /media/Server2 busy.mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdf1 is already mounted on /media/Server2 [03:29] soreau: i believe so. I downloaded the latest ubuntu iso and put it o nthe usb stick. [03:29] HiDeHo: Sure it does. What hardware are you referring to? [03:29] HiDeHo: you think the kernels dropped support for hardware? [03:29] <[THC]AcidRain> it seems what i have is 2 shortcuts to mounting the drive manually [03:29] makka, :-( [03:29] HiDeHo: All good things come to an end. Even old computers and OSs. Lubuntu probably supports yours though. What type of computer is it? [03:30] deadaim: Did you update your repo lists and packages? [03:30] [THC]AcidRain, i order to not have this be a 20 questions and guess lets run the boot script. Pastebin the RESULTS.txt [03:30] In* [03:30] Problem = randomly not booting from USB and USB not showing up in BIOS -- Settings = Using 11.04, Installed /boot to a USB Drive, Installed everything else in encrypted volume(s) [03:30] Thoughts [03:30] soreau: nope its common linux knowledge that new kernels in any linux os dont support old hardware. a simple google serch will reveal that. [03:30] subterfuge: Sounds like a problem with your system and/or bios [03:30] <[THC]AcidRain> whoah your tripping me out. what boot command? [03:30] subterfuge: maybe your USB drive is going bad. You talking about a USB stick? [03:31] HiDeHo: That's simply not true [03:31] HiDeHo: lol [03:31] I hated the new CUPs "Common Unix Print Service" [03:31] HSP: Stick is new and seems to be ok on all other systems [03:31] soreau: that is why os like puppylinux have versions with older kernels for older hardware. runs better. support old graphicls cards better etc [03:32] well its true in my experance . [03:32] soreau: hmm [03:32] Can someone help guide me a bit on this bcm4311 issue? [03:32] HiDeHo: Older hardware might be even better supported. I've run into ACPI issues on a very old Dell Inspiron 2400 but everything else worked from the start [03:32] soreau: that was my first thought however booting from live cd and then checking the drives performance then rebooting seemed to fix it [03:32] fluffy: sorry if that wasn't much help. I tried using the steps in forums, and it just didn't work. So that's when I decided to start from scratch, and plug directly into my network [03:32] soreau: I think I need to do further investigation in how I installed rails on my laptop.. [03:32] my p4 will no longer run ubuntu. slowly each version after 8.04 got worse and worse. [03:32] [THC]AcidRain, first tab the nics second read the post. [03:32] deadaim: Check your ubuntu version(s) with 'lsb_release -a' [03:32] HSP: exactly very old computers have issues [03:33] HiDeHo: Ican run latest ubuntu on my P4 just fine [03:33] HiDeHo: thats probably because you are trying gnome with 512Mb of RAM [03:33] HiDeHo: In what way won't your p4 run Ubuntu? [03:33] [THC]AcidRain, sorry here is the link. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ [03:33] HiDeHo: stop nonsence, my p4 runs lucid and up, we already told you to try Lubuntu if you hace few resources ;) [03:33] soreau: ok, thanks! [03:33] makka, It's ok. I'm trying to work it out on my own, but I'm not that good at troubleshooting linux [03:33] with ubuntu i have noticed that on my old computer it dont run as not enough ram, cpu, and other things. [03:33] I cannot get a power usage estimate with powertop. It shows "no ACPI power usage estimate available". Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? [03:33] my nower laptop is ok [03:34] I hate the new CUPs "Common Unix Print Service" [03:34] HiDeHo: that has nothing to do with a kernel version [03:34] HiDeHo: Use Lubuntu or some other light weight Linux, or buy a new computer - simple. [03:34] SIFTU: see issues 512 mb ram gnome clames to run in it. [03:34] arckanjo, CUPS is something like 10 years old [03:34] HiDeHo: Sure, if you have a very small amount of ram ie. < 256, it could be a problem [03:34] yet gnome in 8.04 flawless [03:34] HiDeHo: 512MB ram should work fine [03:34] HiDeHo: it will stuggle with 512Mb.. run lubuntu as suggested [03:35] fluffy: Yeah I've only had issues with Broadcom wireless cards. [03:35] i have tryed the lightweightversions of ubuntu none work liek 8.04 [03:35] makka, The website given tell me to reinstall the bcmwl kernel source [03:35] when i went to install the firmware-b43-installer package that the ubuntu docs recommended, this happened : sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer [03:35] soreau: i know but not [03:35] <[THC]AcidRain> urlin2u, http://pastebin.com/Ei0u3Hy4 [03:35] I figured it out, powertop doesn't work on AC power (incase anyone was wondering) [03:35] HiDeHo: You're making me want to go read some old BOFH :) [03:35] before the white version, I dont remember the number was fantastic, but now :( [03:36] HSP: y [03:36] <[THC]AcidRain> urlin2u, sda1 is supposed to be my boot partition. or at least it was before bios upgrade [03:36] pardon me i meant this : sudo dpkg -i firmware* [03:36] (Reading database ... 243715 files and directories currently installed.)

If I had more time tonight, Id reinstall ubuntu and guide you through what i did to get it to work [03:38] I have another question now. Where is my bootloader config file located? /etc/default/grub ? [03:39] bsmith093: Does 'lspci -nn|grep Network' show 14e4:4315? [03:39] mukti, that file is used by grub-mkconfig to make /boot/grub/grub.conf [03:39] 06:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g [14e4:4315 [03:39] bsmith093: Well it's telling you that chip is not supported by the driver [03:39] bsmith093: I can get that card working [03:40] Anyone here have experience with setting up Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud? [03:40] bsmith093: I'm very good with bcm43xx [03:40] Not sure where to go form there [03:40] edbian: ! [03:40] soreau: hi :) [03:40] awesome [03:40] good timing? [03:40] * soreau is not [03:40] haha [03:40] escott: is /boot/grub/grub.conf the default config file for grub? [03:40] bsmith093: hi [03:40] edbian: s/good/perfect ;) [03:40] mukti, yes [03:40] [THC]AcidRain, So both externals are ext3 one is /media/Server2 the other is /media/Server the second is the one not mounting, both are in the fstab. So why if there external do you want them in fstab? [03:40] edbian: you sure you can, then have at it, because i really want the full capabilites of this card. [03:41] mukti, but you dont want to edit that file as it is a generated file. make your customizations to /etc/grub.d [03:41] bsmith093: are you online? [03:41] yes [03:41] bsmith093: What drivers have you tried? [03:41] escott: okay [03:41] <[THC]AcidRain> urlin2u, well i was in here about 2 months ago and yall said to have them auto mount at boot and to put them in fstab was the only way to ensure that the mounted at the proper location... [03:41] wl, is eorking but i cant get monitoring mode to activate [03:41] mukti: Technically, you're not supposed to edit that file though. The recommended way is to edit /etc/default/grub and/or /etc/grub/* then run update-grub2 as root so it takes those options and builds a grub.conf file and installs it in /boot/grub/ for you [03:42] anyone know how to auto disable the touchpad while typing on a Samsung QX410? [03:42] bsmith093: I'm not sure what monitoring mode is or if it works with b43 driver. I suggest we try the b43 driver. Likely, if it doesn't work in wl or b43 there is little hope it will work at all. I don't think there are any other linux drivers for this code. [03:42] greetings free nation [03:42] guys, do you know, way when I using Putty from Windows, in Ubuntu has to much lag, but if I put my IP Adress, on /etc/hosts well it be verry fest [03:42] soreau: okay, thanks I'll edit that [03:42] for this card* [03:42] [THC]AcidRain, so are these for p2p, a external will mount without fstab automatically with read and write if set up that way. [03:42] how to you unzip a .bz? [03:42] in terminal [03:42] sstchur: on mouse settings ;) [03:42] my resolution dropped to 1024x768 for some odd reason [03:43] ? [03:43] edbian: ok so b43 then? how? [03:43] hi uns0b1ll_ [03:43] and monitor unknown [03:43] uns0b1ll_: What graphics card? [03:43] soreau, greets [03:43] xangua: there is no tab for touchpad in my mouse settings, even though the touchpad seems to mostly work [03:43] <[THC]AcidRain> urlin2u, im not sure what you are saying? i have read and write... but it still doesnt mount where i tell it to [03:43] bsmith093: yep: sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter and sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer [03:43] (tap, drag, etc...) [03:43] soreau, nvidia g280 i think [03:43] bsmith093: That installs the packages for the firmware (and an extractor for the firmware) [03:43] uns0b1ll_: How did you install the driver for it initially? [03:43] lubuntu well ok i might [03:44] firmware-b43-installer does not exist [03:44] bsmith093: Tell me if you get any errors. A particular error (about lp-phy is likely) [03:44] xubuntu xfce is nicer [03:44] soreau, through snapmanger i think [03:44] will tr again both then lol [03:44] bsmith093: Are you using 11.04 ? [03:44] !info firmware-b43-installer [03:44] firmware-b43-installer (source: b43-fwcutter (1:013-3)): Installer package for firmware for the b43 driver. In component multiverse, is optional.

[03:44] bsmith093: Make sure your multiverse repo is enabled and you're up to date [03:44] know?* [03:44] bsmith093: yes, sudo apt-get update wouldn't hurt anything [03:45] <[THC]AcidRain> urlin2u, well they are 2 different drives.,.. === Guest17243 is now known as LjL-Temp [03:45] edbian: oh, wiat no im using 10.04 lucid [03:45] bsmith093: there we go :) [03:45] [THC]AcidRain, right but I belive you said they had identical mount names. === LjL-Temp is now known as Guest11535 === Andy_ is now known as Guest26484 [03:46] <[THC]AcidRain> urlin2u, no no no. each 1 has 2 identical mount names it appears lol [03:46] bsmith093: sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter (the firmware is in there now instead of 2 packages) [03:46] makka, Nothing yet. [03:46] <[THC]AcidRain> im not sure what im saying. when i plug 1 in. each 1 mounts to the same location 2 times === almostroot_ is now known as almostroot === almostroot is now known as almostroot_ [03:46] fluffy: have you tried looking for driver in software center? If I had more time tonight, Id reinstall ubuntu and guide you through what i did to get it to work [03:46] edbian, What are you talking about? I'm trying to get my bcm4311 working [03:46] [THC]AcidRain, this is your fstab UUID=1d112679-6e31-481f-86eb-f7ec25756183 /media/Server2 ext3 user,defaults 0 0 [03:46] UUID=011e9f71-c1ce-4524-a93d-6f033a956612 /media/Server ext3 === almostroot_ is now known as almostroot [03:47] fluffy: I can get that card to work :) Are you on 11.04 ? [03:47] edbian, Yes. [03:47] <[THC]AcidRain> urlin2u, right [03:47] makka, Ok. [03:47] fluffy: yeah I'm no help in this one [03:47] fluffy: sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer and sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter [03:47] makka: :( [03:48] edbian: ok b43-fwcutter is installed [03:48] edbian, Done [03:48] now how do i get rid of or turn off wl [03:49] bsmith093: fluffy sudo modprobe b43 [03:49] [THC]AcidRain, one is /media/Server2 the other /media/Server if you removed I'm not sure what may be a problem. Since the /media/Server is not mounting try opening the fstab and commenting it out and reboot ansd see if it mounts like a external will automatically, easier to get it to mount this way for a test. [03:49] edbian, Done [03:49] bsmith093: you might want to sudo modprobe -r wl and then sudo modprobe b43 but it isn't strictly necessary. [03:49] fluffy: your wifi card is now working [03:49] * edbian helps 2 people at once like a baws [03:49] edbian, Holy vagina grapes [03:50] fluffy: ha [03:50] that's inappropriate but I find it funny personally [03:50] fluffy: keep it G-rated [03:50] <[THC]AcidRain> urlin2u, im saying with /media/server in fstab. it shows up in places->Server. places->Server (2 times) [03:50] edbian: nice job! [03:50] makka: thanks :) [03:50] edbian: done now what [03:50] bsmith093: your wifi card is now working [03:51] yay driver: b43 thanks so much [03:51] I'm going to grab my other 11.04 installs and apply that [03:51] edbian, Thankyou very much. [03:51] bsmith093: You can double check by looking at the output of sudo lspci -k (to make sure it's using b43 and not wl) [03:51] bsmith093: sure [03:51] fluffy: sure [03:51] fluffy: sure :) [03:51] <[THC]AcidRain> /dev/sdf1 /media/Server2 ext3 owner,errors=remount-ro,users,user 0 0 this is my new fstab using storage device manager [03:51] <[THC]AcidRain> it seems to only list the mount points in places ONE time as well! === sgo11 is now known as sgo11_away [03:52] Hi, recently I've been having the problem that every time I login to GDM I get a kernel panic. This has only been happening for about 2 or 3 days now (until just 20min ago it was spuratic, now it happens all the time), so I blame it on an update. Does anyone know about this issue or know any solutions? As I said, I'm logged into tty1 so my research abilities are slightly diminished. [03:52] <[THC]AcidRain> but i know the problem is when the drive changes its name to something like /dev/sdb1 then fstab will mess up [03:52] [THC]AcidRain, thats what the UUID is for. you should have the UUID listed in blkid instead of the device path [03:52] Wow its raining a lot here! dear God! [03:52] fiber: my first thought / suggestion: use an older kernel (assuming you have one) [03:52] <[THC]AcidRain> escott, right === Nicolus is now known as c_nick [03:53] [THC]AcidRain, So when you were advised to put them in fstab was it to have them do what just be available? [03:53] edbian: I'm currently using 2.6.38-11-generic... has this been updated recently? my grub boot menu only shows this one so i don't think it has changed recently [03:55] fiber: Not sure what you mean by 'updated recently'. When the kernel is updated they increase the version number. Ubuntu does not use the LATEST kernel but you are using the latest kernel ubuntu offers [03:55] edbian, Now, how do I get this to start automatically? [03:55] edbian: also, my kern.log.1 shows a lot of "Short CCK"... is this shed any light on the issue? [03:55] <[THC]AcidRain> urlin2u, right. well to be available because they wouldnt auto mount [03:55] fluffy: it will from now on [03:55] [THC]AcidRain, as it is the one not mounting isn't giving any info in the script, so it may need a fdsk or the uuid is wrong, could be a number of reasons. [03:55] fiber: I am researching that error. [03:55] edbian, It didn't on this boot, let me get this figured out. [03:56] edbian: right... i'm currently just doing the stable branch of the standard ubuntu repositories. i don't think the kernel has been updated recently on this branch (i read the update logs and generally take note of kernel upgrades) [03:56] fluffy: or really? pastebin the output of sudo lspci -k [03:56] [THC]AcidRain, strange a external should be available in computer or the home left panel, or on the desktop, if not in fstab. [03:56] the STA driver was still installed. [03:56] fiber: if the kernel was updated you'd have an old version and an new version [03:56] fluffy: gotta remove that. Do you know how? [03:57] edbian, The STA driver was still installed. yep [03:57] fiber: that error is common and vague. I don't think it has anything to do with the kernel panics. Perhaps you can find some other error messages? [03:58] <[THC]AcidRain> urlin2u, the issue seems to happen when i add the uuid into fstab [03:58] [THC]AcidRain, if you run sudo blkid does the uuid show for the one not mounting? If so check it is the same as the fstab on the script. [03:58] <[THC]AcidRain> if i leave it as the /dev/sdf1 it works fine [03:58] <[THC]AcidRain> urlin2u, it is. i already checked [03:59] [THC]AcidRain, set fast as the partitions like the Ubuntu partition. [03:59] fstab* [03:59] edbian: no, I can't seem to find anything [03:59] <[THC]AcidRain> urlin2u, hang on. rebooting [03:59] fiber: mmm, I'm not sure. Kernel panics suck [03:59] edbian: i'm looking in /var/log/kern.log.1, anywhere else? i grep'd all of /var/log for "panic" but didn't find anything [04:00] fiber: /var/log/dmesg [04:00] fiber: but likely we won't see the error until the kernel panic has happened. Obviously at that point you can't read the logs anymore [04:01] hey all [04:01] can someone explain this to me? i am trying to install ubuntu 11.04 w/ a live cd: Can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.squashfs . [04:01] ghfghf7: Did you check the md5sum of the image you downloaded? [04:02] edbian: there is an error that says "[drm] MTRR allocation failed. Graphics performance may suffer"... everything before that seems just peachy [04:02] ghfghf7: Did you run the cd checker from the boot menu? [04:02] edbian: let me try restarting and using an older kernel [04:02] (noob) my what? [04:02] no how do i do that >.> [04:03] ghfghf7: When the cd first loads, there is a little running man at the bottom and what looks like a battery meter. Press Esc there [04:03] fiber: The cck error has to do with the wifi driver brcm80211 try getting rid of that [04:03] okay ill try that [04:03] ghfghf7: Then run the built in cd check utility and see if there are any errors [04:03] edbian, it does start up automatically now, just have to remember to use the FN key to turn on wifi [04:03] fluffy_: yep :) [04:04] sureau.. i got it to boot to login with that edit [04:04] DaVampsWin: Cool deal [04:05] soreau : so what can i do now to get it so i dont need that edit and the card works === jussi01_ is now known as jussi [04:06] edbian, so... i couldn't get grub's menu to come up but I decided to try logging into ubuntu classic and that worked [04:06] edbian, so the problem is just with unity [04:07] fiber: a-ha! (why are we trying to get the grub menu?) [04:07] edbian, to use an older kernel [04:07] fiber: a-ah (press shift at the critical moment to get the grub menu) [04:09] soreau : would now be the time to install the linux drivers for that card [04:09] DaVampsWin: The drivers are already installed [04:09] edbian, do you think i should reboot and try unity with an older kernel? [04:10] fiber: It's worth a shot. However I do not know how to install an older kernel if you don't already have one [04:10] DaVampsWin: The proprietary drivers do not support your card (and haven't for about 3 years now) so don't install it. It will only break the open radeon driver [04:11] soreau : propreitary = from ati, open radeon = from linux dev [04:11] edbian, i'm assuming i can just install the "linux-image-2.6.38-10-generic" package [04:11] hi guys, i am in need of some help with a shellscript. it should kill a process and all its childs, but awk is not hlping me. gets $1 and $2 from ps as arrays with linebreaks. can anyone help ? http://pastebin.com/dqMzKrjW [04:11] DaVampsWin: Yes, proprietary = the driver from AMD website / catalyst / fglrx. The open radeon driver is the one that is included with the kernel and the one you're currently using [04:12] edbian, alright... let's give this a whirl! [04:12] fiber: oh yes, probably. Didn't know that was a package [04:12] fiber: :) [04:12] * edbian whirling... [04:12] soreau :ok, and the card's specs will work as it is. all 256 memory and such with the OD's right [04:12] DaVampsWin: OD's?

[04:24] uns0b1ll_: Oh really? not in /etc/X11/? [04:24] uns0b1ll_: If there's no xorg.conf, then it's not even loading the nvidia driver [04:25] oh >_< [04:25] found it [04:25] fluffy: sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop && killall nm-applet [04:25] sorry [04:25] did find / -name "xorg.conf " [04:25] and found nothing [04:25] hmm [04:25] uns0b1ll_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:25] urlin2u, yeah I know gnome is possible cause I have see it running on one of these I just cant find any docs on how to get it working [04:25] masterosok, i think the intended use is to just start the individual applications you want [04:25] soreau, will network manager start back up after a reboot? [04:25] uns0b1ll_: The only thing you can do with proprietary drivers when there's trouble is try reinstalling them or trying a different version of the driver [04:25] fluffy: Yes [04:25] urlin2u, lxde worked fine but I didnt care for it [04:25] soreau, my xorg.conf is so minimal - only section " device" in it [04:26] hmm. i think ive seen the nvudua druver used when theres no xorg.conf [04:26] soreau, is it possible that because that card doesnt have support pixel shader 2 that many games will not even run? [04:26] masterosok, sorry I can't help any more than that, good luck. :D [04:26] i install different driver right now [04:26] uns0b1ll_: The only thing it needs to load the driver is 'Driver "nvidia"' in the Device section [04:26] uns0b1ll_: You can check /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see exactly what's happening [04:26] urlin2u, thanks for your input though [04:26] okay [04:26] soreau, let me look [04:27] soreau, what should i grep ? [04:27] uns0b1ll_: Depends on what you're looking for [04:27] well i did grep nvidia [04:27] Anyone know what I can do here? I have a Power Mac G5. I need to put Linux on it. Will Ubuntu 11.10 offer support for the Powerpc? Will I be able to watch flash videos and play games? [04:27] escott, when i tried service dbus start I got start: unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: connection refused [04:28] uns0b1ll_: I assume it's already loading the nvidia driver but there's no modeline for whatever resolution you want and it's defaulting to 1024x768 [04:28] masterosok, so you will have to manually start dbus and resolve any other service dependencies [04:28] do u want vnc session ? [04:28] ppc limuc has no flash Guest54414 [04:28] uns0b1ll_: But just try reinstalling the driver and/or installing a different version of the driver and see if it doesn't work itself out [04:28] okay, let me know if u got time for join.me ? [04:29] uns0b1ll_: When using ubuntu's default method to install the nvidia driver, it edits xorg.conf for you [04:29] ppc linux is rather limited in ways [04:29] uns0b1ll_: No, we don't do that here [04:29] Will the gnash player work? The newest version. Or will firefox plugins on Firefox 7 work? [04:29] if video card doesnt support the requirement for a game, does the game just not start? [04:30] DaVamps-Ubuntu: Anything could happen. Most times it just does not start, yes [04:30] DaVamps-Ubuntu, depends... in some cases it continues to run but with graphical anomolies [04:30] !ppc | Guest644 [04:30] Guest644: PowerPC.

[04:31] seems that i'm getting the does not start at all case. lol. [04:31] Ubuntu 11.10 will include Firefox 7 according to distrowatch.com [04:31] Guest54414, gnash not sure some addons will some wont there is a add on called daily ester tools that will disable the incompatibility check function to have addons work maybe that wont install. [04:31] soreau: if the browser does it should. [04:32] And according to distrowatch.com, it will support powerpc. But will it play videos, and games? [04:32] daily tester tools* Guest54414 [04:32] edbian, so... I was unsuccessful in downgrading the kernel. however, i got a picture of the kernel panic.... it's at http://imgur.com/txZ41 [04:32] Guest54414: what game.. videos. yes perhaps.

Is there a better alternative? [04:33] edbian, right now I am in ubuntu classic which seems to work just fine [04:33] gnash is lacking in many ways [04:33] Guest54414, The proper place to talk about it might be #ubuntu+1 but, yes, it comes with Firefox 7. I am already experiencing it on 11.10 Beta 1. [04:34] dsnyders: its reencoding also. thats the time hog. [04:34] Is it Ubuntu 11.10 Beta ppc version? [04:34] dsnyders, you need the coversion? [04:34] dsnyders: k9copy can be very quick [04:35] hu my ubuntu installer doesnt offer a apply alongside win7 option can i grt that back? [04:35] Guest54414, What is ppc?

[04:36] hi, my ubuntu installer doesnt offer a apply alongside win7 option can i get that?(ubuntu 11.40) live cd [04:36] i gave up on ppc linux. and sold my last ppc box ;) [04:36] marenostrum: well you need a ppc cpu.. it's a cpu arch [04:36] dr_willis, Ripping at 1/13th speed is not really what I had in mind. Even re-encoding, it seems extraordinarily slow. [04:36] SIFTU, I see. [04:37] Hi everyone... I'm having an issue where I get a kernel panic every time I try logging into unity (http://imgur.com/txZ41). This is only a problem with unity, I can log into ubuntu classic just fine. This problem is new (~2 days) and until an hour ago only happened every once in a while. Now I have a 0% chance of logging into unity. Does anyone know about this issue? Googling gives nothing! [04:37] dsnyders: i can k9copy to iso backup a movie in about 20 min or less [04:37] ghfghf7, resize the W7 with its disk partitioner, leaving a unallocated, making sure you don't have 4 primary partitions already, and the Ubuntu is in a extended partition using a logical. [04:37] playing fullscreen video on youtube lags on ubuntu 11.04 [04:38] fiber: It's most likely a graphics driver issue. Which are you using? [04:38] okay thanks [04:38] any solutions to that? [04:38] fiber: try a unity --reset yet? [04:38] umm is there anyway ican boot windows without having to wait the 10 mins i taakes to boot a live cd agian? [04:38] dr_willis: masking the issue? :P [04:39] i mean when i comeback into ubuntu [04:39] soreau, it is just the internal video card for the i5... although even in ubuntu classic opengl works just fine and it is using the same driver [04:39] fiber: also make a new yser see uf it works for them [04:39] ghfghf7, not really. [04:39] kk [04:39] dr_willis, no I haven't.... what exactly does that reset? [04:39] what does segmentation fault mean [04:39] fiber: resets unity to defaults [04:39] dr_willis: A kernel panic can only really be caused by faulty kernel code, almost always from a kernel module. In this case the graphics driver is highly probable [04:39] ghfghf7, use a thumb drive for the ubuntu it will boot faster. [04:40] fiber: it may be a unuty or compiz setting issue [04:40] dr_willis, is there any way i can backup the config before trying this? [04:40] dr_willis: And since he's probably not been able to login to make changes, a reset probably wont help much [04:40] dr_willis, also, ubuntu classic uses compiz [04:40] he saud classic desktop wirks... [04:41] fiber: You can export compiz settings in ccsm>Preferences to save them [04:41] make a new user.. see if it works for them fiber [04:41] dr_willis: Yes but that only means that userspace code in unity session is using the faulty kernel code path [04:41] dr_willis, I'm using a WDTV Live Plus network media player box to send the file to my TV. It won't read ISO files. I need some sort of video file like AVI MPEG1/2/4 MKV or something. [04:42] if the new user works that points to a setting issue [04:42] dr_willis: Case in point, userspace code should never be able to trigger a kernel panic no matter what it does [04:42] dr_willis: If it can, then there's a problem with the driver [04:42] dsnyders: my wd oplay can play isos ;) [04:42] is there a convenient way in ubuntu to disable my laptop touchpad when an external mouse is plugged in? [04:43] soreau, so... what do you think is going on then? because it seems to me that the graphics driver is working just fine [04:43] ghfghf7, so you understand the HD limitations of primaries max=4, so you want only 3 and a extehded for the logicals. [04:43] fiber: First, what makes you think it's a kernel panic? [04:44] vaev, mine is fn-f7 [04:44] vaev: If you're able to disable it from CLI, then there's probably a way to detect the external mouse being plugged and disable the other [04:44] dr_willis, It will? I'll have to give it a try [04:45] soreau, http://imgur.com/txZ41 (picture of my computer after... granted it doesn't say kernel oops so it may be some other sort of panic) [04:45] dsnyders: wife does it all the timp. dvd to k9copy. she plays the iso === Guest11535 is now known as LjL-Temp [04:45] soreau, on further inspection, it says avahi-daemon is tainted... i think this was recently updated... maybe a reinstall on it? [04:46] dr_willis: use must use a lot of space storing ISOs [04:46] dsnyders: takes a lit mire space however [04:46] 3tb ysb [04:46] usb === LjL-Temp is now known as Guest79853 [04:46] dsnyders: just use handbrake.. it will rip and transcode and it's multithreaded [04:47] i had issues with handbreak the ither day [04:47] fiber: I'm willing to bet it's a problem with the intel drm module [04:47] dr_willis, I have a few TB of space, and I'm only interested in a 10 DVD set at the moment. [04:47] fiber: Try a different kernel version if you can or get more specific support in #intel-gfx [04:48] dsnyders: eack dvd - 4gb with k9 copy. then i rip the iso to video later [04:48] soreau, what would i do to use a different kernel version? just install the right linux-image-* package? [04:49] soreau: so essentially I'd make for example thru cron something that checks for the presence of a usb mouse and then removes rmmod psmouse with it [04:49] fiber: That's one way I guess.. but typically most kernels in a ubuntu distro are pretty much the same version.. [04:49] and when the mouse is no longer detected it will do a modprobe psmouse [04:50] vaev: Ideally you'd want to detect a signal when it's plugged instead of polling with cron, but there's probably a few different ways to go about it [04:50] vaev: Maybe try asking in ##linux to get some ideas [04:50] soreau, ok, cool... i'm going to first try messing with avahi and then try downgrading the kernel [04:51] bbl [04:51] soreau, i'll be back in a bit to report what's going on [04:51] fiber: good idea [04:51] soreau: okay thanks === daemoneye is now known as daemoneye|away [04:52] funny thing is all other fn+function keys work in my vaio but the touchpad disable one :) [04:53] vaev: That's probably the problem you should be trying to fix [04:53] true that. I'll start digging the web [04:54] but if you can automate the process, more power to you ;) [04:54] anyone is using teamviewer on ubuntu?

[04:57] fiber: I think that was something to do with wireless networking [04:57] fiber: There's a way to do it but I don't know right off hand [04:57] soreau, it's more like configurationless routing... it doesn't automagic network mapping (it's basically apple's bonjour) [04:58] soreau, that's all good... i'll look it up [04:58] Datz: Did you check that all tracks are unmuted and turned up?

[05:04] hello,im new here [05:04] soreau: Im trying to add a configuration option --enable-shared to ffmpeg [05:05] Dollz: Then you will have to build it yourself or find a prebuilt version with this option enabled [05:05] soreau: I get sound when I log out if I mess the pass [05:06] soreau: so I need to build it again after ./configure ?

[05:17] Snyde: Does it work when you run it from CLI manually? [05:17] soreau: I'm specifically asking for Java 7 though, which was recently released. All of the docs around the internet only address Java 6. [05:18] Even more specifically, I'm asking for SUN's java 7, rather than the OpenJDK 7 which has deb's available. [05:18] apetrescu: In that case, it probably is not in any repo for the latest release of ubuntu which is all that is supported here [05:18] apetrescu: Maybe try #ubuntu+1 [05:18] Ah, thanks! [05:18] I had tried #ubuntu-java but it's completely dead in there. [05:18] apetrescu, if see see none there isn't one. [05:19] I'll give #ubuntu+1 a try, thanks [05:19] holanda [05:19] soreau, http://pastebin.com/S5Qf2shA [05:19] urlin2u: There's plenty of new stuff in random PPAs generally, which is what I'm asking for [05:20] Soreau: Thanks, I'll try troubleshooting some more, I just assumed my old script would work. [05:20] apetrescu, you were looking for PPAs for sun-java7-jdk if you see none they are not there. [05:20] Tiktalik: Right, so it's using the default open nouveau driver that is not built with experimental 3D support in ubuntu packages [05:20] urlin2u: What do you mean by "see none"? Is there some search engine that searches the packages present in all PPAs? [05:21] . [05:21] Tiktalik: You will want to install the proprietary nvidia driver to get opengl working [05:21] soreau: how? [05:21] apetrescu, well google is one it finds stuff rather well. if you use the correct search words. [05:21] Tiktalik: With jockey-gtk [05:22] soreau: so, install jockey-gtk? [05:22] urlin2u: I'm pretty sure Google doesn't index the contents of PPAs... [05:22] Tiktalik: No, run it. It's already installed [05:22] soreau: thanks [05:22] Tiktalik: gksu jockey-gtk [05:22] Tiktalik: Sorry, I thought I already gave you the command but it was someone else [05:23] apetrescu: But a PPA's packages are listed on the PPA page, which *is* indexed by Google [05:23] apetrescu, it will find any ppa you want if they are there. for example if you wanted ubuntu tweak search with ubuntu tweak ppa [05:23] Ah okay; thanks. I guess this means there aren't any yet, then. [05:23] yep [05:23] soreau: thanks man [05:23] Tiktalik: no problem [05:25] soreau: Is it possible that I need to put './' in the Open with prompt?

That's much better than the 13:1 I was getting from OGMRip [05:40] almoxarife: so im guessing /etc/iptables.rules is the rules it loads? so i just edit that? [05:40] Dollz: Make sure to rerun configure [05:41] soreau: yeah sure [05:41] calwig: The man page is probably the best resource.

The system monitor says processor 0 and processor 1 are Pentium 4s running at 3.2 GHz [05:44] 11.10 [05:45] Lucid: you can run: java filename.jar and it will run.. [05:45] Lucid, you stated you were a noob that is a development release not very stable. [05:45] SIFTU, They're both running at about 100% [05:45] ! 11.10 | Lucid [05:45] Lucid: Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) will be the fifteenth release of Ubuntu.

FYI you could find your exact CPU by "cat /proc/cpuinfo|grep -i "model name"|uniq" [05:47] calwig: right on [05:47] almoxarife, this is not the I beg to differ channel, and your and mine run good but not everybodies. [05:48] yours [05:48] soreau: totally. though i still need to upgrade. weird that the upgrade causes a connection to TorK to break [05:49] calwig: Take note of the good and bad versions. Maybe file a bug report [05:50] soreau: im with the tor devel team now. Definitely will hehe [05:50] calwig: Ah, in that case, skip the report and fix it! ;) [05:51] Touche [05:51] soreau: yeah its happened before, i wonder [05:52] after i call set -e in a bash script is there a way to revert it?

Output: http://pastebin.com/UXCGaPeg [06:06] photon: they're probably marked as automatically installed and have no packages that depend on them. since they're all library packages or similar, should be fine to remove [06:06] rww: alright, thanks.

[06:08] quint: First, what are you running in your script? [06:08] bash -c "cd /somedir/ blahblah.sh" & [06:09] photon: Try 'apt-get autoremove' [06:09] soreau: does nothing, either.

[06:09] photon: weird [06:10] just running the script normally does not cause that [06:10] it only happens when i run it using the startup application setting [06:10] yes, I know that behavior (square shadow in the top left corner). for me, it's almost always a window that is too small to display.

[07:57] ubuntu is fine and dandy as long as it works, if it fails.. you are out of luck === DarkStar1_ is now known as DarkStar1 [07:59] varikonniemi" if it fails , you are out of luck".......that is whY IRC was invented [07:59] Bash, if you use the Natty disc you can use the commands where this page defaults to read carefully. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Copy_LiveCD_Files [07:59] well i have no luck asking my questions here, so what would you suggest as a place to start ? [07:59] urlin2u: But sda is my untouched windows7 drive which I have flagged to not be bootable, and I have sdc5 to be the only bootable. [07:59] urlin2u: Yeah, in now via flash drive. Will have a looksie. [08:00] varikonniemi forums [08:00] yesterday i asked two or three times how to get alt-tab working in games and no answer. So i just settled for "its a feature, it does not" [08:01] varikonniemi, which desktop-environment? [08:01] Bash search for grub rescue disk on google [08:01] Bash, the sda mbr is where the grub bootloader went, it should be in the sdc HD mbr. YOIu can reload the windows bootloader to the sda with a windows recovery disc booted to the repaier terminal, and run bootrec.exe /fixmbr [08:02] vibhav: Was just about to say I've tried Boot Repair, [08:02] hello this gives a permission denied ~$ sudo ssh -T git@github.com [08:02] any id? [08:02] ubuntu 11.04 [08:02] rumba, [08:02] rumpel, [08:02] vibhav, your muttering a weasy fix here. [08:02] jigal could be a server error [08:02] urlin2u: Alright. No worries about the windows loader, how do I force it to go to sdc mbr? [08:02] easy* [08:03] !bluray [08:03] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [08:03] varikonniemi, i meant like unity, gnome, kde... [08:03] well kubuntu is kde [08:03] urlin2u. ok youre the best [08:03] urlin2u: Keep in mind that I have a seperate windows partition at the start of that partition table, does it matter? [08:03] ubuntu is unity [08:03] so yes, unity [08:03] bash I posted a link to reloading grub from the natty cd, it defaults to it a rather easy job. [08:03] varikonniemi, not necessarily [08:03] ubuntu is a distro [08:03] no but if i made a mod that big i would mention it [08:04] unity is not a distro so ubuntu is not unity [08:04] by default it is [08:04] you mean Ubuntu 11.04 uses Unity by default [08:04] guest unity is a desktop environment for Ubuntulog [08:04] you can change that [08:04] Guest yes you can [08:04] *ubuntu [08:04] varikonniemi, i guess you can write a script, which toggles certain shortcuts via gconf. [08:05] urlin2u: Just to be clear, it doesn't matter that I have a windows disk (non-boot) at the beginning of the partition table? [08:05] Bash, ypu can boot the ubuntu cd and run sudo fdisk -l and pastebin the out put and I will give you the commands to run. [08:05] rumpel, now you are teaching hebrew to a infant [08:05] Guest you can install other environments like LXDE or KDE [08:05] same territory as "compile it yourself" [08:06] varikonniemi your use of words impress me [08:06] varikonniemi, or you can look for the shortcut-settings in unity and deactivate the "alt-tab" shortcut (if you otherwise don't need it) [08:06] urlin2u: http://pastebin.com/ZesnDdyx [08:06] Bash, grub will boot windows for you, I only suggested putting its bootloader back for if you removed ubuntu it would still boot on its own. [08:06] varikonniemi, that's the userfriendliest solution i can think of [08:06] hi. how well is burning own bluray discs supported in 11.04? what software and what burner can you recommend? [08:06] urlin2u: Gotcha. [08:06] yes, thanks for your input [08:06] my skills are not good enough for that === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [08:07] trolling? [08:07] if you cannot find a step by step guide that is [08:07] photon my laptop burns bluray disks [08:07] but it uses 10.10 [08:07] vibhav: have you tried it? [08:08] vibhav: that is, have you actually burned one with ubuntu? [08:08] hello. for some reason tab-completion in my terminal is acting strange. When i tab-complete directories it appends a whitespace in the end instead of a /. How can i change this to / again? === _DexTerDDIT is now known as DexTerDDIT [08:08] the was a guide in some forum but i forget its link [08:08] their [08:08] there [08:09] vibhav: again, have you actually burned a bluray disc with ubuntu? [08:10] Bash, http://paste.ubuntu.com/685811/ [08:10] photon, you're asking an experienced user on burning a bluray disc? [08:10] photon, you can always search the forums for that, i'll grab one for you in a sec [08:10] asdjaputra: no, that's not what I am asking. [08:11] vibhav: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/10/easy-blu-ray-movie-playback-in-linux/ [08:11] the softwares and burner, yes [08:11] photon yes [08:11] vibhav: will help playback (maybe) [08:11] photon, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/10/easy-blu-ray-movie-playback-in-linux/ [08:11] Right, thanks urlin2u! Will tinker away with this. [08:11] ActionParsnip thia guide is similar to the one i used [08:11] Bash, just the two commands and reboot the update-grub is inside the install. [08:12] ActionParsnip btw my laptop allready can ro that [08:12] asdjaputra: and how would *playing* a blu ray *movie* help me in finding a linux-compatible bluray *burner*? [08:12] diverdude, have you tried reinstalling the package "bash-completion"? [08:12] Anyone? [08:13] rumpel: no, do you think that would help? [08:13] photon My laptop has a LG burner [08:13] photon, i just copy what ActionParsnip said [08:14] hi [08:14] Photon, I'm using an LG burner on my desktop with 11.04 and it works with Nero for Linux [08:14] anyone tryed natty yet? [08:14] you can change that [08:14] sry [08:14] how does it support drivers? [08:14] Hello everyone. I have ubuntu 9.10 (64 bit) using gnome on my laptop and planning to upgrade to the latest version (11.04 I believe), preferably 32 bit. Can you advice me on this? [08:14] sinistrad: uh ok. isn't nero for linux shareware? [08:15] sinistrad: nexro for linux is paid ofc [08:15] nero [08:15] Photon, it was purchased, yes. Was you wanting only open source? [08:15] ! detail | madeinbl [08:15] sinistrad: I'd prefer that. [08:16] photon, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CdDvd/Burning [08:16] sinistrad: I've found some people have had problems with LG burners and burning bluray in general. [08:16] sinistrad: under Linux that is [08:16] well things like webcame audiodriver, had previous trouble with that [08:16] madeinbl: its fine [08:16] photon, there's a blu ray burner part below [08:16] noe i am runing super os [08:16] and its runing fine [08:16] madeinbl: install cheese, does it show in that ? [08:16] well it rompts me to upgrade to natty [08:16] madeinbl: superOS is offtopic here [08:17] Photon, I have used k3b as well, but I don't recall how it did for actually burning movies. [08:17] even I use k3b [08:18] is there any way to change sidekick menu in natty to more standart desktop [08:18] ? [08:18] sinistrad: I don't want to burn movies, I just want to burn large files that do not fit on a DVD. [08:18] tenX is accusing me of lying when i say that on windows7 you can alt-tab out of a game, and that no-one really need this functionality. Is this really the majority stance here? [08:19] photon: devede will change quality so it fits [08:19] photon, try an UFD [08:19] varikonniemi: do you really need to take this in here? [08:20] varikonniemi: never accused you of anything, just disliked your uneducated approach [08:20] tenX, what is he talking about? [08:20] well i would not be asking for help if i were not uneducated? [08:20] hey guys, quick question is ther a way to scrool up with screen -x option ? [08:22] asdjaputra: he wants to alt+tab from within a game (whatever game on linux) to the next desktop app. told him the game will catch keystrokes like that for good reasons and i'm also pretty sure that doesnt work on windoze. the win key brings you back [08:23] i never use the win key, i alt-tab out of games [08:23] tenX, it does work in windows [08:23] I am sure there is a workaround to get that working in ubuntu [08:23] asdjaputra: and now he starts this that is worthless and boring [08:23] in linux? [08:24] you could always edit the pref. to fullscreen - 0 [08:24] and i'm a damn professional [08:24] tenX, it does work in windows [08:24] a professional eh? [08:24] VxQe: k sure. not that i claimed to know. thought so. if you tell me i'll believe it [08:24] VxQe: dont see what he's upset about [08:24] alt-tab works in every game i played in linux for now [08:24] please drop the offtopic discussion, this is ubuntu only [08:25] asdjaputra, spring rts [08:25] is the one i am talking about [08:25] varikonniemi, will try, maybe there's a workaround to alt-tab [08:25] i'll let you know when i got it [08:25] ok [08:25] thanks [08:25] oCean: sure i'll stop right ahead. dunno why he starts this here we had a little query [08:26] yes i will stop also, my question was a general "how to get alt-tab workin in ubuntu, even in games" [08:26] so originally it was not off topic, to my discretion [08:26] varikonniemi: enough said, let's move on now [08:26] yes [08:26] as i said [08:27] varikonniemi, alt-tab works by default in ubuntu [08:29] varikonniemi, I just use windows to play games. [08:29] are you trolling me? [08:29] !ot [08:29] #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! [08:29] In anycase, the problem is that ubuntu defers the keystrokes to the fullscreen app [08:30] and doesn't capture the alt-tab [08:30] VxQe: see what i mean [08:30] Which is what it's meant to do [08:30] i want to play spring rts on ubuntu, not windows. i want to get alt-tab working in spring. [08:30] let's take this to ot [08:30] is bot tgus topic !ot? [08:30] However there is quite possibly some other way around this. [08:30] yeah i am searching the forums as we speak [08:30] and there are some program suggestions [08:30] some config magic [08:31] will try that [08:31] You could also try using a high-level hotkey [08:31] Like hitting ctrl-alt-del and the just cancel out of the menu. [08:31] Don't know if that would work that. [08:31] Certainly not well [08:31] VxQe, in certain game engines, alt-tab will be ignored [08:31] and it'll refer back to ubuntu's alt-tab, switching the windows in result [08:34] I was configuring LDAP on Ubuntu 10.04 server and the slapd has suddenly stopped running.

If not you can double check with: sudo dhclient3 eth0 [08:52] bahamas, yes it should, maybe a reboot with cable plugged if it doesn't work [08:52] tp43, and from there, you can chmod 755 to every folder within and chmod 644 for every HTML files [08:53] can anyone tell me if it's possible for me to remote into my dad's email computer over the net? i'm on ubuntu and he's on win7 [08:53] scarleo: yes, a reboot works, but it bugs me that it doesn't work from the start. also, even though the wireless doesn't work on its own, when i plug in the cable and reboot, the wireless starts working too [08:53] i'm going to explode if i have to listen to this crap one more time [08:53] asdjaputra, thanks [08:53] tenX, I have inadyn.conf set at 10 minutes, and it does fine for me. [08:54] tuxlinginx: i am trying to understand why you need alien [08:54] bahamas, plug your cable and see what sudo ifconfig shoes, do you get an ip? [08:54] shows* [08:54] tuxlinginx: is there a rpm package that you desperately need to convert?

[08:57] bahamas: uninstall network manager and reboot to get it all started up [08:57] Hey team. I need a hand, I'd really like a 'widget' on my desktop that tells me my local weather forecast daily - any ideas? [08:57] tenX, I agree. It's a great service. Mine just checks IP, and if it differs, then updates with dyndns. It doesn't hammer dyndns. I wasn't having a problem, I was just letting someone else know that it can update faster. [08:57] tuxlinginx: ubuntu uses deb not rpm [08:57] scarleo: ok. i'll write this down [08:57] auronandace: to dive after osama, isn't it obvious [08:57] ActionParsnip: uninstall or restart? [08:58] sinistrad: i see just my 2 cents :) [08:58] tenX, :) [08:59] sinistrad: static ips over here make inet lines really expensive at low speeds [08:59] devcalais: you can use screenlet or conkyforecast [08:59] asdjaputra, ok, I chmod the files and folders 644/755 like you said, and now I can see the pages, but still it isn't working quite right, the css seems broken [09:00] asdjaputra, I guess I have to 644 all those files [09:01] bahamas: uninstall network manager then restart, wicd will load and be sweet [09:02] tp43, oh and scripts that executes uses 755 [09:02] someone that knows chineese here ? [09:02] CSS does executes right? [09:02] asdjaputra, thanks so much man, you are smart [09:02] !zh [09:02] 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [09:02] asdjaputra, Is there anyway around this, so I don't have to do all this chmod in the future? [09:03] tp43, unfortunately, no [09:03] ActionParsnip: ah, so wicd is a replacement for network-manager [09:03] tp43, you have to configure it to match the files and folders [09:03] asdjaputra, everytime I copy a website over to /var/www I have do a bunch on chmods? [09:03] tp43, no you won't have to [09:03] hola [09:03] hola [09:04] asdjaputra, what do you mean? [09:04] bahamas: its an alternative [09:04] tp43, you won't have to chmod it [09:04] bahamas: there is also wifi-radar [09:04] tp43, by default every files/folders uses 644/755, i think [09:05] asdjaputra, like when I copy a website to /var/www from Document folder or anywhere else, I have to do a bunch of chmods right [09:05] asdjaputra, like I just had to do [09:05] tp43, wait a sec [09:06] tp43, every new file and folder will have 644/755, my theory was correct [09:06] tp43, you'll only need to copy it to /var/www with sudo [09:07] ActionParsnip: ok, i'll look into that as well. thanks [09:07] asdjaputra, oh, I should change /var/www to chmod 755 and then every new file will have it correct [09:07] asdjaputra, but I have one site that didn't require any chmods for some reason [09:07] tp43, hmm.. [09:07] asdjaputra, oooh, you know what, when I create directory inside /var/www then I have to make it chmod 755 [09:08] tp43, yes and by default it is [09:08] tp43, http://www.dartmouth.edu/~rc/help/faq/permissions.html [09:08] asdjaputra, cause the first site I put in /var/www, and then when I added more sites, I made directories and those needed to have chmod done [09:09] tp43, yes [09:09] asdjaputra, the first site was fine by default cause they were created inside the root directory which made them correct chmod setting by default [09:09] asdjaputra, ok, thanks so much for your help [09:09] tp43, and made them belong to www-data by default [09:09] tp43, may i add you can sudo chown user:group to /var/www [09:09] so every file you add by default won't need chmod and won't need sudo to edit [09:10] you need chmod because it's not www-data's [09:10] so placing it there will be useless if www-data has no permission to it [09:10] you can add a user special for adding datas to /var/www, under your password [09:11] asdjaputra, can you show my the command to chown user:group to /var/www [09:12] tp43, http://www.alexatnet.com/content/debian-web-server-apache-php-and-mysql [09:12] tp43, there's a complete server files/folders chmod rules, and how to isolate a user to a specific website [09:12] tp43, chown -hR user:group /var/www <-- will apply to everything inside it and the subfolders (recursive) [09:13] tp43, also there is how to make vhosts [09:13] asdjaputra, thanks, is that you in the picture by chance or just a link? [09:13] link :) [09:13] tp43, alexatnet helps me in everything, and btw, just because it's debian, it won't change any commands that'll work with Ubuntu [09:13] hyperstream, where user is my username [09:13] tp43, yes [09:13] and group is groupname [09:14] if your username and groupname is both tp43 you can add it there [09:14] tp43, yeah example: chown -hR hyperstream:hyperstream /home/hyperstream/ [09:14] my username is tp43 but I don't know my groupname [09:17] tp43: id command will show you ;) [09:18] if it's the first one you made it should be the same [09:18] asdjaputra:asdjaputra [09:18] tp43:tp43 [09:18] ok [09:18] thanks [09:18] !seen [09:18] I have no seen command [09:18] hmm [09:19] how to send suggestions for ubottu? [09:19] i meant for ops that did ubottu? [09:20] asdjaputra, /msg ubottu to use factoids [09:20] !factoid > asdjaputra [09:20] asdjaputra, please see my private message [09:21] hmm, thanks bazhang === Milos|Netbook is now known as herp === herp is now known as Milos|Netbook [09:25] hello every one [09:25] Sup === dave is now known as Guest21015 === tum is now known as Guest82026 [09:32] asdjaputra: the syntax is: /msg ubottu !beer is Beer is a tasty beverage [09:33] asdjaputra: for example [09:34] my question was how to give suggestions to ops that develop ubottu [09:35] and ActionParsnip i don't think the ! will be needed on msg [09:35] asdjaputra: aaah http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [09:35] asdjaputra: you make a suggestion in private /msg with ubottu, it gets forwarded to the ops channel [09:36] ActionParsnip, ok thanks, and i remember we can say something random to ubottu and she'll reply with thank you your suggestions <...> [09:36] asdjaputra: they then will consider your suggestion [09:36] oCean, what's the command for that [09:36] asdjaputra: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins#Adding_a_factoid [09:36] asdjaputra: but in private /msg with ubottu please [09:36] oCean, sure, no flooding here :) [09:38] who are you?? [09:38] oCean, are the factoids going to be local? [09:38] ihbs-2010-001: that's a deep question if ever there was one [09:39] okay [09:39] s [09:39] okay [09:40] Still can't get my seperate ubuntu drive to show up, right after boot it just sits at a blinking cursor. [09:40] Bash: what video chip do you use? [09:41] Pretty certain I've done the grub install right, is it a major problem if a windows partition preceeds the grub drive? [09:41] this is about clementine player: I have recorded music from internet radio, the problem is that when i add the music folder to library and change one of tracks album cover, the all music tracks have same album cove [09:41] ActionParsnip: Oh sorry, meant that grub doesn't initialize. [09:41] Bash: if you hold shift at boot do you see grub? [09:42] ActionParsnip: Nope. [09:42] ActionParsnip: It's as if it finds nothing when it tries to boot from ANY drive. [09:42] Bash: then boot to liveCD and reinstate grub [09:43] ActionParsnip: I've done that now, tried different settings in which partition to flag for boot etc, [09:43] Bash: the boot flag is irrelevant [09:44] Bash: grub config is loaded and uses the config there, only windows uses boot flags [09:44] ActionParsnip: I have windows7 on sda, sdc1 is windows (non-boot), sdc2 is ubuntu (with grub) and sdc3 is swap, [09:45] ActionParsnip: I have installed grub onto sdc2, pointed it to boot from sdc [09:45] Bash: is the drive which is sdc set as boot drive in BIOS? [09:45] ActionParsnip: Yup. I even tried booting every different drive, all are the same with the empty blinking cursor. [09:46] Bash: if you start liveCD booting then select to boot the internal drive, does it boot ok? [09:46] Bash: ok, what is the video chip you use? [09:46] ActionParsnip: Nope, it flashes for just a second but just goes away. [09:47] ActionParsnip: ati [09:47] shouldn't matter in the booting process, should it? :) === jasondondi is now known as Guest92276 [09:47] i have this strange thing happening where when i click on locations under 'Places' (Ubuntu 10.10) it tries to open the location in VLC [09:48] Bash: tried chrooting and adding boot options to use safe vga etc? May stop the blinking cursor bit [09:48] I can get into ubuntu on the flash drive no problem, full resolution and working fine, just wont boot. [09:48] ActionParsnip: It's more just a blank stop, it won't think or read the drive or anything [09:48] albech: run nautilus and right click on a folder select 'open with' then tell it to be opened with nautilus and remember to tell the OS to remember the setting === Guest38820 is now known as LjL-Temp [09:49] have you tried installing grub into the mbr, Bash ? === LjL-Temp is now known as Guest99043 [09:49] albech: seen it a million times: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1631961 [09:49] albech: somehow the file assocation got set to be vlc instead of the 'open folder' item. nit sure fo the best way to fix it. i use ubuntu tweak. but its not supported here [09:49] Snicksie: I think I did, can I double-check to make sure? [09:50] i hope they fix that issye in tge next release. or make it easier to fix [09:50] I mean now if I'm to try it again so I know for sure. [09:50] Hi all [09:50] you said you installed it to sdc2 ? That doesn't seem a mbr, it seems like a pbr ;) Just try sdc instead :) [09:51] Snicksie: Right, grub is installed on sdc2 but it's pointed to boot at sdc [09:51] I have a problem with the panel with Ubuntu on an EeePC [09:51] Atleast I think that's the way? [09:51] ActionParsnip, dr_willis, thanks both of you [09:52] i'm not 100% sure, but I only got my ubuntu back bootable by installing grub to sda (so that means in your case sdc :) ) [09:52] it only disappear when an application is launched, and masks the categories of application ("games", "accessories", etc.) [09:52] !panels | nowhere_man [09:54] Snicksie: Looks like it's both installed to mbr of sda and sdc [09:55] http://paste.ubuntu.com/685849/ [09:55] Correct me if I'm wrong, but "looks at sector 1 of the same hard drive", wouldn't that mean it checks sdc1, which is windows? [09:56] sendpass [09:57] how to install a git ? http://git.videolan.org/?p=ffmpeg.git;a=commit;h=b7b61ff6a31d4ffa1fb9a0ebeb1579d84c01c0b7 [09:57] i guess sector 1 is NOT used by windows, Bash ... as far as I can see, windows only starts from sector 1701 and further :) [09:58] sendpass thoidingjam [09:58] thoidingjam, do you mean /nickserv sendpass thoidingjam ?

[09:58] m trying to recover [09:59] Snicksie: Alright, but grub on mbr sda that shouldn't have any effect on grub on sdc though right? [09:59] you should send that in a private message to nickserv [09:59] thoidingjam: use #freenode for support please [09:59] Hi all [09:59] it might chainload from sda to sdc, but it shouldn't have any effect as far as I know, although my knowledge is limited to :p [09:59] it says join a channel, sorry to bother [10:00] I have a Gigabyte: Intel Celeron T3500, 2GB DDR 2. How do I get my web cam working? Is there a specific program? [10:00] RedViper: the cpu and ram are of zero relevance to the webcam [10:00] Snicksie: I might have to take a look at this tomorrow. Thanks anyway! [10:00] RedViper: if you run: lsusb what is output? use http://pastie.org to host the text [10:01] ActionParsnip: I'm just letting you know the make and everything. :D [10:01] RedViper: if you install cheese do you see yourself? [10:01] Dollz: better if you download the patch and use that. [10:02] Someone mind having a browse at this pastebin and telling me what I'm doing wrong? trying to compile a .tar [10:02] http://paste.ubuntu.com/685852/ [10:02] rigved: i'm downgrading [10:02] rigved: I've a recent version , but unstable [10:02] Dollz: downgrading? how? best if you ask in #videolan [10:03] rigved: nice channel .. thank you [10:03] devcalais: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc [10:03] Install lua and its header files dude [10:03] ActionParsnip: Ok hold on I'm installing it now. I have pasted. [10:04] Lua [10:04] Dollz: you are welcome. [10:04] natty. [10:04] devcalais: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:vincent-c/conky; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install conky gives you 1.8.1 [10:04] ActionParsnip - natty, 11.04 64bit! === david is now known as Guest50138 [10:05] ActionParsnip - was my syntax to compiling a .tar file correct, though? Just unlucky on a dependancy? [10:05] ActionParsnip: Have you seen the paste? [10:05] devcalais: the ppa will give the version you want === Guest50138 is now known as davef === davef is now known as davidf [10:06] RedViper: you need to copy the url the page changed to and paste it here [10:06] devcalais: no idea, but there is a ppa with a binary of what you need, so why bother === davidf is now known as davef444 [10:07] ActionParsnip - ... self education, why else! [10:07] ActionParsnip: http://pastie.org/2507615 - Sorry forgot :D [10:07] Did you read above.? [10:07] Install Lua headers usually -dev (pkg name) and Lua too [10:07] :) [10:09] I'm trying to setup logwatch to ignore "packets to tcp(51413)" I just added that line straight into ignore.conf as it accepts regexp but that doesn't work. Anyone know how I can configure it? [10:10] devcalais: no idea, that's why I asked! [10:10] !info lua5.1 [10:10] Awkward Ubuntu nub question - how do I launch conky, now that I've installed it? It's not appearing under a lense search for 'conky'. Awkward. [10:10] devcalais: press ALT+F2 and run: conky [10:11] devcalais: not really awkward [10:11] RedViper: is it built into the system or is it USB based? [10:11] hey! im making a file server for windows clients, what good to get the windows filesystem working with linux file systems? (Clients will be in different companies/locations so Samba isnt suitible cause it wants workgroups) :D [10:11] devcalais: if you don't see it, run it in a terminal. You may need to copy a .conkyrc from in the OS (or online) to make it run [10:12] ActionParsnip: I have a laptop, yes it is built in. [10:12] dori922: install samba and you can share folders === sgo11_away is now known as sgo11 [10:12] RedViper: is there a switch to turn it off and on? [10:12] RedViper: what is the make and model of the system? [10:12] ActionParsnip: samba requires workgroups which makes it unsuitible === jussi01_ is now known as jussi [10:13] ActionParsnip: my clients wont all be the same workgroup [10:13] dori922: it can work with active directory [10:13] dori922: it can be added to an existing workgroup easily [10:13] hi I'm trying to format an old partitioned HDD, but it won't allow me to unmount a certain ext3 partition [10:13] it claims it's still mounted to / [10:13] devcalais: seems your compile needs lua5.1 installing [10:13] but if I try unmount or even sudo umount, it won't unmount [10:14] hi, I'm using unity. do you know how i can make my system execute a shell script after login? [10:14] Dazzled: then its your system partition that you are booted to [10:14] ActionParsnip: cleints dont have windows server :( [10:14] dori922: they don't need it, you can create samba passwords and gran access to shares [10:14] dori922: let me pastebin my smb.conf, you can see if its what you want [10:15] ActionParsnip, well I connected it when I was running this instance, so that would be odd [10:15] but, It is the cloned version of it [10:15] hello. Can anybody help me with Synergy+? [10:15] so perhaps it detects the same UUID or something [10:15] dori922: http://pastie.org/2507659 [10:15] ActionParsnip: that's just a dependancy based on whatever package I was trying to compile? Nothing wrong with my method of compiling the package at all? [10:15] Dazzled: you can make a partition have a different UUID [10:16] devcalais: looks spot on, just needed to satisfy deps [10:16] ActionParsnip: thanks :) the how-to's and tutorials for setting up SAMBA were all saying you needed a specific workgroup for your clients :o [10:16] ActionParsnip: I'm just happy I got the syntax correct ;) avoided the immediate problem. Cheers! [10:16] dori922: see how andy has access to all, but leanne only has access to her own stuff ;) === Nicolus is now known as c_nick [10:16] ActionParsnip: i have that down with chroot :p [10:17] devcalais: np, using PPAs makes life a tonne easier, plus the packages will gel with the existing ones making install / remove as easy as any other package [10:17] Hello, I've installed Ubuntu 11.04 on my computer, during the updates (using the update manager) the window of the update manager got stuck so I pressed on the cancel button and now every time I would like to make update I getting this error : E:Unable to parse package file /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/il.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_universe_i18n_Index (1) any idea how to solve this ? [10:17] dori922: is that functionality you need though? [10:17] klingelbart, add the .sh to "BootApplications" [10:17] and it'll run as soon as the system runs [10:17] I don't know it's called boot applications, as I have a Dutch version of Ubuntu, but putting Boot in the search window will list a purple icon with a green arrow in it [10:17] shai28: http://pastie.org/2507666 [10:17] how can i access my file system from the terminal? I cant cd above the home folder [10:17] ActionParsnip: No there is no switch, On the computer or on Ubuntu? Gigabyte - E1500 [10:18] RedViper: is it a tablet? [10:19] ActionParsnip: Tablet? By the way - Cheese has installed and it's saying No device found. [10:19] Dazzled: how do i do that? [10:20] cant open folders above the home folder in terminal :/ [10:20] klingelbart, click on the Ubuntu logo on the top left [10:20] should bring up a humungeous search bar [10:20] Dazzled: i know^^ but if i type in boot, nothing appears [10:20] executionist: are the folders owned by it's respected owner? [10:21] ActionParsnip: yeah :) i have everything so i just needed windows interoperability for different users! [10:21] nope, its the filesystem [10:21] its not that I cant, i dont know how to [10:22] dori922: yeah thats cool, you can add users with: sudo smbpasswd -a name [10:22] Haha [10:22] executionist: cd foldername [10:22] RedViper: are there any bugs reported? [10:22] ActionParsnip: and workgroups is ignorable? [10:22] RedViper: have you contacted Gigabyte? [10:22] klingelbart, perhaps it's called Sessions? [10:22] dori922: I've only ever used 1 workgroup tbh [10:23] ActionParsnip: No, why? [10:23] RedViper: may have already been reported and be a known bug [10:23] Dazzled: i want a script to be executed after login, not while booting [10:23] There used to be ubottu the bot aaround here ye? [10:23] dori922: as long as the user can log in when challenged, it will get access [10:23] sdk__: it's still here [10:23] !ubottu [10:23] ActionParsnip, I want to open /media/new volume/program files. I cannot go outside /home from the terminal [10:23] sdk__: just not online at this moment [10:23] Ikonia oh hai [10:23] Cool [10:24] cd just takes me to /home [10:24] Ahhh ok :) [10:24] ActionParsnip: oo key :D the " workgroup = WORKGROUP" in the tutorials kept tripping me [10:24] executionist: sure you can. Just run: cd /media/new\ volume/program\ files [10:24] cd '/media/new volume/program files' [10:25] executionist: use TAB to complete the file names, make sure CASE is exact, linux is VERY case sensitive. So if it is Program\ Files it is different to program\ files [10:25] k, lemme try that [10:25] ActionParsnip: No, there are no bugs, it wont work, nomatter what I do. Is there something in system I can do? [10:25] executionist: could use: cd /media; ls and go from there [10:25] hello when i do ~$ sudo ssh -T git@github.com [10:25] i get a popup for a password but dont know which password to add [10:25] any idea's? [10:26] jigal: shy are you using sudo to ssh ? [10:26] klingelbart, I know what you mean, my script runs after I log in [10:26] it even waits until there's an internet connection [10:26] RedViper: make sure it is enabled. could reboot and run: dmesg | less see if its detected. Ggabyte may have some proprietary garbage which needs a driver to work and get access to the cam [10:26] Dazzled, hmmmm [10:27] klingelbart, Startup Applications [10:27] ikonia, without the sudo i get the same popup [10:27] Hello unknown sample [10:27] jigal: yes, that's correct, without sudo it's the password for the user "git" at the remote server [10:27] jigal: there is no reason so use "sudo" to run the ssh command [10:27] ActionParsnip: Why do I need to reboot? I can't really do that now. Can't I just run dmesg ? [10:28] I googled the translation, so I guess that could be it [10:28] Dazzled. ok got it. it's called litte different, cause i have got the german version [10:28] :) Lost in translation [10:28] ActionParsnip: now when I doing update I getting the next errors - W: Failed to fetch http://il.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty/restricted/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found , W: Failed to fetch http://il.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty/multiverse/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found etc.. [10:28] guys how can i do a image of my system of all my system ? [10:28] any reason why a standard 10.04.3 server install would fail to get an IP via DHCP? (networking works if I give a static IP with ipconfig)) [10:28] dazzled, no click on "add?" [10:29] add, and then browse to your .sh file [10:29] Jigal its the password you used to encrypt your SSH private key. Must have encrypted at some point in the past :) [10:29] shai28: try changing server to the main server, or an alternate server [10:30] Name and Comment you can choose whatever, the Path should point to your sh file [10:30] Dazzled, ok, got it. now ill test it... [10:30] RedViper: sure, reboot just reduces the messages. Just read down until about no ipv6 available. Do you see anything mentioning the webcam? [10:30] bambanx: dd or partimage are 2 options [10:31] hi everyone, i recently bought an usb pendrive that i suspect being fake, i see that on windows there are some utilities that let you (at least) sort it out, is there any of those on Linux? (possibly off repo but it's not a problem if not) [10:31] !tell sdk_ about metapackage [10:31] duk0vv: what do the utilities do? [10:32] ActionParsnip: No, should I paste it? Maybe I'm missing it. [10:32] how do i find out speed of my ram? [10:32] ActionParsnip: apparently (this is just a guess ) they fill the usb key with data and then see if it gets corrupt, as the output says "XX GB are available XX are junk" [10:33] I don't think ubottu is "on board", this morning... [10:33] Is it sick? cough cough [10:34] somebody please help me ? :( [10:34] Ye probably called in sicky [10:34] RedViper: if you don't see it then the OS isn't seeing it [10:34] Stuck, I think. [10:34] or asleep [10:35] ssk_the_gr8, tried lshw yet? [10:35] Ask away if someone knows will tell you :) [10:35] Or perhaps, taking the day off. [10:35] Yeah [10:35] ActionParsnip: Great, what now? [10:35] package name was php5-xdebug [10:36] RedViper: all i can suggest is report a bug [10:36] anyone? [10:37] sdk__, i generated a new key and now i get permission denied [10:37] RedViper: do gigabyte make linux drvers for the webcam? [10:37] ActionParsnip: The thing is it's not showing up. The other thing is how do you know it's a bug, for all we know it might be me. :D [10:38] diverdude: what is your question? [10:38] RedViper: if its not in dmesg then its not pickuing up. Its also not showing in lsusb [10:38] Dazzled: yes [10:38] dont get the ram speed [10:39] Jigal you need your pub key in the remote host [10:39] only size and width [10:39] Anyone here got good.link on great sssds? :) [10:40] sdk__: that's not an ubuntu topic, as you know [10:40] sdk__: what is an sssds? [10:40] ssk_the_gr8, I see here clock: 1333MHz (0.8ns) [10:40] ssk_the_gr8, I did "sudo lshw > mysystem.txt" and then open it and look for "bank" [10:40] Solid state drives [10:41] sdk__: then ask in ##hardware [10:41] Ikonia ahh [10:41] Haha [10:41] hi everyone, i recently bought an usb pendrive that i suspect being fake, i see that on windows there are some utilities that let you (at least) sort it out, is there any of those available on Linux? (possibly off repo but it's not a problem if not) [10:41] duk0vv: you can wipe it with gparted if that is what you mean [10:42] Actionparsnip ahh [10:42] Dazzled: under bank:0 i have description, slot, size,width,physical id... thats it no clock [10:42] ActionParsnip: I'd like to know if the X GB advertised are really available or its just a 128mb key claiming to be a "big boy" [10:42] Hi, phpmyadmin is not taking my blowfish secret, it warns me even though I entered one in config.inc.php. What is the solution? [10:43] duk0vv: insert the device, wait 10 seconds then run: sudo fdisk -l [10:44] All righty. Later folks. Feel trollish so off I go [10:44] i need some help with my window frames [10:44] ssk_the_gr8, "cat /proc/meminfo" [10:45] ActionParsnip: just sudo fdisk -l ? it gave me no output [10:45] ssk_the_gr8, nm, doesn't list clock [10:45] can anybody help me my window frames have disappeared and i cant figure out how to get them back [10:45] duk0vv: the -l is a lowercase -L [10:46] ActionParsnip: So you don't have any other suggestions? [10:46] ActionParsnip: yup, i wrote L [10:46] Dazzled: so many values... all in KB.... [10:46] ssk_the_gr8: in sudo lshw -C memory, there's also the clock specification [10:46] RedViper: none, other than report a bug [10:46] oCean: it's not there.. do u want me to paste the output? [10:47] ssk_the_gr8: no need, I have it's output from many systems. [10:47] ssk_the_gr8, sudo dmidecode --type 17 [10:47] this lists speed [10:47] ActionParsnip: Ok thanks allot for the help. I will get onto reporting a bug. Thanks again :D [10:47] ssk_the_gr8: for example: http://paste.ubuntu.com/685871/ [10:48] ActionParsnip: also, isn't it supposed to give me the same info disk utility (gui) would? [10:48] oCean: http://paste.ubuntu.com/685872/ [10:48] here you go check it out [10:48] duk0vv: did you get an output this time? [10:48] ssk_the_gr8: did you run it sudo? [10:49] yes [10:49] ssk_the_gr8: never seen this before [10:49] i ran sudo su at the start [10:49] ActionParsnip: actually, i forgot sudo the L was written correctly i thought i had admin already, my bad [10:49] ssk_the_gr8: never do that, to start a root shell (if you ever need one) do sudo -i === Guest99043 is now known as LjL-Temp [10:49] Dazzled: dmidecode .... does not work too says Speed unknown [10:49] ActionParsnip: but isn't this same output diskutility would give me? [10:49] oCean: reasons? [10:50] i never dare to advise sudo -i [10:50] duk0vv: i guess, gparted should also show you === LjL-Temp is now known as Guest55856 [10:50] ActionParsnip: the problem is that if it's fake it's probably using some patched firmware that shows it's a X (the amount you paid) GB stick, if you put more data into it it gets corrupt [10:51] ActionParsnip: besides any program or stuff like that, wouldnt putting files into the stick and then comparing checksums do the trick? [10:51] duk0vv: could format it in gparted if there is noting on there you need [10:52] ActionParsnip: no nothing i need, I'll format and report back, does it have to be gparted or diskutility is going to be fine? (don't want to sound lazy but i dont have gparted installed on this machine) [10:52] Which Ubuntu versions use Upstart? Does the current development version (oneiric) use Upstart or Systemd (or is there a compatibility layer - can I ship Upstart scripts in oneiric)? [10:53] duk0vv: whatever can delete the partition and then make a new one. If you are going to share between windows and linux, use ntfs, otherwise use ext2 :) [10:53] ambro718: I dont know, but natty use upstart, I think [10:53] Dazzled: what now? [10:53] oCean: any other suggestions? [10:53] :( [10:53] how can i tell what distro version is from the console? [10:54] nlko: lsb_release -sc [10:54] ah, lucid, thats not the latest is it? [10:54] ssk_the_gr8, that's really odd, are you sure you're in sudo mode when executing said command? [10:55] a # appears when you're in sudo mode, right? [10:55] nlko: but it's the most stable, i'm using it [10:55] nlko: that's the latest LTS. if you want the latest, then that is natty (11.04). oneiric (11.10) will release on oct 13. [10:55] ssk_the_gr8, close all terminals, open a new one, and enter "sudo dmidecode --type 17" [10:55] it'll prompt for a password [10:56] nlko: lucid is stable, as ssk_the_gr8 pointed out. [10:56] ah ok, so no rush in moving from lucid then? [10:56] ActionParsnip: ok done, it states its a 7,5 gb usb key (its sold as 8 GB but i guess that it may be legit if it was 7,5 rounded to 8 because of the decimal?) but according to some (non reliable sources) patched firmwares may spoof such results, would copying stuff into the pendrive , copying back and checking its checksum defeat any of my paranoias? [10:56] duk0vv: that's about right [10:56] dmidecode: unrecognized option '--type17' [10:57] i just noticed 11.04 was out and wondered why apt-get upgrade didnt get it [10:57] duk0vv: probably due to decimal/binary stuff. I wouldn't sweat it [10:58] Dazzled: http://paste.ubuntu.com/685879/ [10:58] output, check it out [10:58] ActionParsnip: thank you very much for all your answers, i appreciate, AT LEAST i can sleep tight tonight (the main concern was permanently infected usb to be honest, not smaller sized lol) [10:59] duk0vv: oh absolutely :) [11:00] ActionParsnip: what absolutely? :P [11:00] ssk_the_gr8, no idea then, guess your system can't read it, or perhaps it's damaged [11:00] Dazzled: is it damaged? [11:00] i got it from my friend [11:00] you could try swapping it into another socket or machine [11:01] can I chroot only users under /home ? [11:01] in case it's the mobo that can't read it [11:01] the computer seems to be working fine [11:01] duk0vv: about the main concern [11:01] ssk_the_gr8, what brand is it? [11:01] I've got a dell poweredge 1950 server w/ raid 1 (via perc controller) and after install of 10.04r3, it never boots properly. The error it gives me is "Gave up waiting for root device." "ALERT! /dev/mapper/myboxname-root does not exist." there are lots of threads on this issue, but not a lot of clear solutions - does anyone have any ideas? [11:02] ssk_the_gr8, normally it's printed on the RAM [11:02] ActionParsnip: it's unlikely, but possible, and although it would be a minor concern on linux those usb keys may be used on Windows Pc's and I'd like to be a good neighbour (not my windows pc's as i dont have any) [11:02] sudo shutdown -h 13:00 - This code allows me to shutdown my computer, how do I cancel it, in the terminal? [11:02] Dazzled: right now the memory module is in slot 0 , the other slot is empty, will it be ok if i move the module to slot 1 and keep slot 0 empty? [11:03] Dazzled: it had a sticker on it... it was..... Kingston === jasondondi is now known as Guest52221 [11:03] ssk_the_gr8, I don't know for sure if leaving slot 0 empty would cause errors [11:04] Dazzled: i have the same doubts [11:04] not a second unit around which you could temporarily upgrade with said stick of RAM? [11:04] is there a way to tell what packages I have installed? [11:04] squig: use your favorite package manager [11:04] i have my old ram sticks..... [11:04] what do you want me to do? [11:05] My idea was to put the unreadable ram sticks into another machine, and see if they can be read there [11:05] jrib, how would I use apt and get a textual list? [11:05] hai [11:05] i'm new user in ubuntu [11:05] squig: dpkg -l | grep '^ii' [11:05] i need help ? [11:05] if yes, it's the mobo of the first system, if no as well, it's the ram [11:05] can someone tell me how i can turn off dash? [11:05] hey my friend is getting a "sector read error" when he tries to install ubuntu from a usb flash drive made with unetbootin, any ideas? [11:05] Dazzled: hmmm.. i'll have to look for a ddr2 machine then [11:06] and Kingston is a fairly well known brand, so it would baffle me if it wouldn't be detected [11:06] jrib, thanking you. (I have about 50 computers which should all be identical, on some of them flash works and on some it doesnt) [11:06] !ask | natarajan [11:06] natarajan: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [11:06] I need to take a backup to my phone [11:06] natarajan: which phone? [11:06] how do i use the old desktop for ubuntu 11.04? [11:07] !classic | Tindo01 [11:07] Tindo01: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". [11:07] contacts & Sms in phone memory [11:07] ssk_the_gr8, how about you put an old ram stick into slot 0, and the new one in 1 [11:07] and then try some of the earlier commands again [11:07] thank you [11:07] ssk_the_gr8: HTC Wiled fire [11:07] Dazzled: i was thinking the same thing... i'll give both your ideas a try... later [11:07] Tindo01: bear in mind from 11.10 onwards there will be no more gnome2 (so you may want to try xfce) [11:07] andriod os [11:08] auronandace: is xfce like gnome 2? [11:08] ssk_the_gr8: i find it better, but that is a matter of personal taste [11:08] ssk_the_gr8, Ubuntu CD's come with memtest+ preinstalled, but I don't know what information it provides [11:09] This code allows me to shutdown my computer, how do I cancel it, in the terminal? sudo shutdown -h 13:00 [11:09] how you can halp ?? [11:09] just installed ubuntu, all my videos play with a blue tint [11:09] what [11:10] ssk_the_gr8: pls help [11:10] RedViper: tried searching « man shutdown » for "cancel"? You can search man pages by typing: /cancel, then pressing 'n' and 'N' to go to next and previous hits [11:10] auronandace: even i'm looking for a unity alternative for oneric, so i was asking [11:10] executionist_: http://www.wiredrevolution.com/ubuntu/fix-blue-tinted-video-in-ubuntu [11:10] natarajan: dont know abt droids [11:10] sorry [11:10] hey my friend is getting a "sector read error" when he tries to install ubuntu from a usb flash drive made with unetbootin, any ideas? [11:10] I _had_ gnome, but it started to misbehave [11:10] so now I'm a forced Unity user :( [11:11] ssk_the_gr8: my phone is HTC wildfire [11:11] although with decent HW, it does run okay, it's just all too hidden [11:11] Dazzled: i shifted back to lucid, because of that [11:11] ssk_the_gr8: try out different desktop environments (gnom3 unity kde xfce lxde enlightenment) see what you like [11:11] This code allows me to shutdown my computer, how do I cancel it, in the terminal? sudo shutdown -h 13:00????? [11:11] ty ActionParsnip [11:11] and Gnome3 seems to be realizing features nobody asked for :( [11:12] auronandace: just been 5 months with linux.... seems risky :| [11:12] can someone help me with my problem http://pastebin.com/h5wANHu7 [11:12] RedViper, Did you try what jrib suggested? [11:12] ssk_the_gr8: you'll get the hang of it, try them in virtualbox vms [11:12] Dazzled: you're in the same boat :) , time to look for a new DE [11:13] executionist_: simple websearch dude [11:13] auronandace: virtualbox... never used it... can u link me to a good tutorial.. ? [11:13] ssk_the_gr8, I wish there was something easily customisable [11:13] Dazzled: kde is easily changed. LXDE is great imho :) [11:13] Dazzled: have you tried, lxded, xfce ..... all DE's ? [11:13] !vbnox | ssk_the_gr8 [11:13] !vbox [11:13] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [11:14] ActionParsnip: thanx [11:14] I haven't been shopping around, as I'm wary of breaking my stuff :) [11:15] I have a tendency to get my Linux broken whenever I set out to change a simple thing [11:15] I've learned a lot, though :p [11:15] same here, learned a lot tough [11:16] well, Ithe XDE looks nice IMO [11:16] This code allows me to shutdown my computer, how do I cancel it, in the terminal? sudo shutdown -h 13:00 [11:16] what should I use to configure my touchpad ? [11:16] (on gnome) [11:17] Dazzled, Would you break your leg so you could learn how to use crutches? ;) [11:17] nnull, well that's a nice way of putting it [11:18] is it possible to run an application with wine if it is not installed using wine but sitting in your windows program files? [11:18] I managed to have to switch graphics drivers after I switched my HDD to a new laptop [11:18] all glory to netroot [11:18] Dazzled, puts a different perspective on it doesnt it hehe [11:18] executionist_, I don't think so, but I don't usually use wine. [11:19] do i need to check if my cpu has vt? [11:19] well yeah, I'm not afraid to jump in :p although landing is still off most of the time :p [11:19] ActionParsnip: [11:19] nnull: its the same method i used to learn linux. many breaks and many reinstalls [11:19] is there something like RainMeter for Ubuntu desktops? [11:19] ssk_the_gr8: if you want a 64bit guest, then yes. most times a 32bit guest is fine [11:19] and not with the gadgets and all that, or cacaphonic combinations of screaming colors [11:20] Dazzled: gkrellm ? [11:20] Dazzled: what does rainmeter do? [11:20] ActionParsnip, how long is the learning curve for linux? [11:20] ActionParsnip, Indeed, im not disagreeing with it. [11:20] rainmeter is a Windows customisation tool [11:20] executionist_: its never ending, just like any OS [11:20] if i install windows xp in virtual box will cpuz be able to detect my ram? [11:20] Dazzled: [11:20] Dazzled: you can customize linux to the hills [11:20] How can I test if my system has a working mail system that will be able to run a form-to-mail script php page [11:20] ActionParsnip, but by when do you think I will stop coming to irc for every little thing [11:21] ssk_the_gr8: it will use as much ram as you assign in the vm settings [11:21] executionist_: depends on teh [11:21] ActionParsnip: will it detect the ram clock speed etc? [11:21] the individual, a few months should be fine. make sure you use the web before asking in here and you will earn [11:22] RedViper: why do you keep repeating your question and ignoring replies? [11:22] ssk_the_gr8: should pickup whatever the host tells it, using windows tools to test ram in any way is a poor test [11:22] ActionParsnip: linux tools are not working that is why i'm looking at this solution [11:23] ssk_the_gr8: if you want to see your ram speed then run memtest from grub [11:23] hey guys how do you deal with a "sector read error" when trying to install [11:23] executionist_, Please read and search: http://ubuntuforums.org/ That's how I learned. [11:24] flipcoder: i'd grab the ultimate boot cd and check the drive with manufacturers tool [11:24] ActionParsnip: memtest , how long does it take? [11:24] ssk_the_gr8: how much ram do you have? [11:24] executionist_, Another great link, if you're just getting started is: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/index.php [11:24] thanks, will try that [11:25] will check them, not great with reading though [11:25] I'm having trouble connecting a VPN client to the VPN server. The server is working ok for other clients. Can someone help me troubleshoot [11:25] ActionParsnip: 2gb [11:26] ssk_the_gr8: not too long then [11:26] memtest can be interupted I believe, but it won't give you much information then, it does some different "marches" to test its sectors [11:27] ActionParsnip: still an approximate time ? [11:27] i've heard it takes hours [11:28] depends on what you need, if you want to be sure it's free of faults, it will have to test all of it [11:28] if you only need the speed [11:28] perhaps it'll be visible immedeatly [11:28] ssk_the_gr8, I don't think memtest stops, until you stop it; an hour or two should be enough to discover any problems. [11:28] ssk_the_gr8: i don't know. there may be estimates online. You can stop it part way but it will give the latencies of the ram etc [11:29] can someone recommend a good packet sniffer and port scanner? [11:29] executionist_: nmap [11:29] hi all [11:29] executionist_: wireshark [11:29] can help me please [11:29] executionist_, BackTrack? [11:30] howdy folks [11:30] wireshark is for linux too? [11:30] executionist_, Or zenmap if you prefer gui of nmap. [11:30] Dazzled: thats a distro, not a packet sniffer or port scanner [11:30] i need a program for DWF file [11:30] !info wireshark [11:30] yeah a gui is better for me at this stage [11:30] wireshark (source: wireshark): network traffic analyzer - GTK+ version. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.4.6-1 (natty), package size 736 kB, installed size 1916 kB [11:30] ActionParsnip, Ah I see [11:30] I remember it containing all of those things though :p [11:31] but it's not what he asked :) [11:31] executionist_: wireshark was on Linux first [11:31] !find nmap [11:31] Found: nmap, libnmap-parser-perl, nmapsi4, python-nmap, zenmap [11:31] wireshark on windows = not capturing localhost [11:31] 2 questions: how do i check my fps in a wine game in ubuntu? [11:31] wireshark on linux, it just works [11:32] i see, didnt know that. I thought it was a windows software [11:32] crshbndct: is there an option in winecfg [11:32] and how should i partition my drive, now that i have decided to boot windows out of the picture altogether [11:32] executionist_: it is, it was simply ported [11:32] ActionParsnip, thanks.. i will have a look for that [11:33] crshbndct: if not then see if your app has a switch to show fps [11:33] crshbndct: or ask in #winehq [11:34] Does anyone know how to include mounted network locations in save dialogs? https://launchpadlibrarian.net/60061325/2010-12-03-193539_1360x768_scrot.png [11:34] without using stuff like sshfs [11:34] crshbndct, Do you want to dual boot or delete windows altogether? [11:35] Eidel: I always run: ln -s ~/.gvfs ~/Mounts [11:35] Eidel: then drag ~/Mounts in nautilus to the left panel [11:35] delete windows altogether. i finally got fallout 3 working perfect in ubuntu, and that was the only reason i still had windows [11:36] ActionParsnip: Cool. Will try! [11:36] apps from the ubuntu software center always slow to download? [11:36] crshbndct, ext4 would be the normal filesystem; also ext3, but it's older. [11:36] ActionParsnip: Yay. Thanks alot [11:37] Greetings all. I know how to set the Title of an individual tab in gnome-terminal, so that when that tab is selected the Window takes on that title. It would be nice not to have to name each of my tabs though. Is there a way to set the name of a gnome-terminal Window, irrespective of the names of the terminal tabs? [11:37] executionist_: try a different server. May help. I always use apt-fast in cli. I find software-centre too slow [11:37] i was more wondering which partition sizes i should go for.. its a 500gb drive [11:37] and i was thinking /-64gb /home-the rest of the drive. [11:38] but then i read that you should have a /var partition too [11:38] could take a while to find the optimal server. the default is too slow [11:38] crshbndct: you probably won't need more than 20GB for / ... if you have more than 2GB ram and don't intend to suspend to disk you can skip swap [11:39] btw I didnt see there were multiple servers :D [11:39] crshbndct, Never heard of a separate /var. [11:39] executionist_: worth it in the long run [11:40] i have 8gb ram and i dont have swap atm [11:41] crshbndct: I would set 20GB for / and put the rest in /home. I set aside 20GB and am only using about half that. [11:41] crshbndct, i wouldn't both trying to separate /var or /usr (unless you're installing a server), more trouble then it is worth on a desktop. I also wouldn't recommend you forgo swap entirely, just create a small one. [11:42] s/forgo/NOT forgo/ [11:42] yeah i currently have the LAST 4gb of my drive as swap. it never gets used except when VLC has a brainfart [11:42] you can set aside space for /home too? [11:43] hey hi when ever i connect my iphone to the computer it says unable to mount iphone.. unhandled lockdown error (-4) [11:43] any help [11:43] executionist_, Yes. [11:43] i will probably have a 40gb for /, as flightgear with the entire world worth of landscape files is 18gb, and it install into /bin/share/blah/blah [11:43] executionist_: sure, a seperate /home partition makes backup easier and reinstalling easy too, you just tell the installer to not format the partition and mount it as /home and your settings will stand [11:44] crshbndct: woah, thats a lot [11:44] right now I put some 300 for / and 10 for swap [11:44] can i get some help please [11:44] crshbndct: I have flightgear installed, but not the world . with 500GB you can afford to be generous [11:44] is that the wrong way? [11:44] vlc brainfarts a lot lately [11:45] suman_, ask away [11:45] to the point I'm looking for diapers [11:45] hey hi when ever i connect my iphone to the computer it says unable to mount iphone.. unhandled lockdown error (-4) ...any help [11:45] Dazzled: I went back to an earlier version of vlc...seems the latest 'improvements' leave something to be desired [11:45] suman_, what do you want to happen? [11:46] i just want to copy some of the photos from my iphone to the computer [11:46] but when ever i try to connect my iphone to the computer .. it pops up the message [11:46] get an android dude [11:46] suman_, there is a deamon that runs on your computer that runs when you plug your iphone in and it appears to be broke [11:46] executionist_, my android phone is great, apart from when it turns it self off [11:46] O_o... [11:47] any suggestion on how to fix it [11:47] ? [11:47] Dazzled: which version? [11:47] squig, make and model? why would it turn off? [11:47] Dazzled: of vlc, that is [11:47] executionist_, i guess because its buggy, is a zte blade running cm7.0.3 [11:47] squig, it's a daemon not a deamon ;) [11:48] squig, maybe try the stock rom [11:48] th0r i know. i went on an ftp spree one weekend and d/l'd the whole lot [11:49] executionist_, aah its not much use at all with the stock orange rom [11:49] squig, lol is it still on 1.6? [11:50] executionist_, its a strange orange thing, I acquired the phone to see how android was vs iphone [11:50] squig, and what was the verdict [11:50] oh completely confused, where do flash updates come from for chromium === Guest55856 is now known as LjL-Temp [11:50] android is cheaper and interesting but my iphone 4 was loverly [11:50] how to check what motherboard i have from linux?

Seems to be the latest supported on this ubuntu version. I read somewhere python2.7 doesn't work, but what about 2.6.7 for instance?

That's among the reasons I was asking this morning about how to upgrade to the latest version. I have 9.10, 64 bit. There are instructions on the ubuntu site that i'll have to upgrade incrementally. Is that the way to go - and can I upgrade to 32 bit? [12:01] hjsplit ARCHIVE TYPE in linux?? what is the package? for file roller [12:01] dpkg -S /var/lib/flashplugin-installer/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so [12:01] dpkg: /var/lib/flashplugin-installer/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so not found.

[12:07] cricket42: split archives can be used by many compression tools, the commands they give will handle it. you don't have a different rar manager in windows for split rar files do you? It's the same app [12:07] your, even. [12:07] ok. Just one more question. Is the 32 or 64 bit better? [12:07] bjarni: if you have /home on a seperate partition then yes. Your backups can easily be used if you don't [12:07] ActionParsnip, driving me crazy, 2 computers which should be the same flash works on one and not on the other [12:07] Distributor ID: Ubuntu [12:07] Description: Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS [12:07] Release: 10.04 [12:07] Codename: lucid [12:07] squig: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

Is there a command to view the license info of a package ? [12:13] hi, I've insalled 11.04 on a laptop of a friend of mine. Today he tells me (and I've seen that is true) he turns the laptop on and only a blinking cursor on the top left apperars, if then he presses "power off" the laptopt powers off. Could it be that he has done some "suspension" and we are not able to boot anymore? Any tip? [12:14] Hi. An app has crashed just when I opened a menu (in the menubar) and now I have an "empty" square where the menu should have rolled down. Is there a way to get rid of that without a logout? [12:17] Mrokii: Are you able to right click on it and select close or remove or something similar? [12:17] squig: obv, close all browsers and rerun to load the new plugin [12:17] Nope [12:17] Mrokii: are you using unity? [12:17] SwitchDK: That never works in these cases (had that before as well) [12:17] ActionParsnip: No, I am using the classic desktop [12:17] Mrokii: ;press ALT+F2 and run: killall gnome-panel [12:18] hello guys, you don't mind a non-ubuntu related question? [12:18] Mrokii: it will rerun and should be ok [12:18] lebear: yes, this is ubuntu only support [12:18] ActionParsnip: Thanks, will try. [12:18] is there any general support channels on the ubuntu network? [12:18] lebear: #linux maybe [12:18] hardware? [12:19] ##hardware [12:19] lebear: ubuntu network ? [12:19] !alis | lebear [12:19] lebear: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* [12:19] !alis | lebear [12:19] ikonia, ubuntu software lists freenode as ubuntu servers [12:19] ahhh [12:19] ActionParsnip: Worked like a charm, thanks :) [12:20] Mrokii: np man, just so you know from Oneiric onwards will use unity2D and will replace ubuntu classic session [12:20] thanx [12:20] how does one get italic in gnome-terminal (vim)? [12:21] ActionParsnip: Yeah, I know, unfortunately. [12:22] lebear: the most general support channel is #freenode [12:23] Faustus2: ? [12:23] Faustus2: the font? [12:23] Mrokii: xfce isn't a tonne different to gnome in looks and menus [12:23] can i ask a question about general scripting here or is there another channel i should look in? [12:24] jrmcm1985: ask away [12:24] ActionParsnip: but a lot in performance :) [12:24] jrmcm1985: try join #bash :) [12:24] jrmcm1985: #bash might be more relevant, but you're welcome to ask here (we might send you away though) :) [12:24] jrmcm1985: #bash # python and so on [12:24] iceroot: i dunno, xubuntu is losing its light edge if you ask me [12:24] hey there... recently switched to ubuntu 10.04 from windows... and it's awesome!!! [12:25] ActionParsnip: xubuntu is a good choise if you like gnome2 but perfomance on xubuntu isnt better then on ubuntu-desktop [12:25] iceroot: no.. one can use italic and bold in vim and i think with "echo" [12:25] ActionParsnip: I have only looked at that briefly and I think it looked rather ugly to me. But maybe I should give it another try. Or maybe I'm thinking about something else, not sure. [12:25] does anybody know if anything has improved in the plymouth package? [12:25] ActionParsnip: so there is only one supported DE in ubuntu left which doesnt come with very strange features [12:25] was looking for some boot animations for a terminal, but plymouth doesn't look good [12:25] and doesn't work half of the time [12:25] how to lengthen the default password to 12? [12:26] jerk, Welcoma aboard. :-) [12:26] Welcome, even. [12:26] iceroot: lubuntu is official from oneiric onwards afaik [12:26] lol ok thx everyone. what im looking for is a way to run a script have it ask a yes or no question, read the answer and run another script or exit. then after the script second script has run ask the same yes/no question. [12:26] ActionParsnip: yes [12:26] thanks Sidewinder1 [12:26] Kartagis: there is no default password [12:26] ActionParsnip: and that is very good and i like lxde very much [12:26] I just wanted to check out the place, so to say [12:27] jrib: Warning: truncating password to 8 characters [12:27] jrmcm1985, it looks like your trying to write a program [12:27] I mean this [12:27] Kartagis: context?

[12:30] squig: there are other DEs than gnome [12:30] ActionParsnip: or something different? [12:30] iceroot: gnome2, check omgubuntu [12:30] Kartagis: this is an issue with your usage of openssl [12:30] ActionParsnip: but no support anymore from the gnome-team [12:30] jrmcm1985: look like you need to read some bash basic, info bash is also good [12:30] squig: you can run KDE and run al the Gnome apps you do now. No Unity and you can stay using Ubuntu... [12:30] iceroot: true [12:30] ActionParsnip, kde makes me sad [12:30] one thing I need to ask is.. how to get BOTH my speakers and headphone to work at the same time in Ubuntu [12:30] jrib: hmm, is there a way not to truncate the pass? [12:31] iceroot: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/08/gnome-2-forked [12:31] ActionParsnip: one very big advantages of debian is that they are very slow so the next release will also contain gnome2 [12:31] they removed gnome2 from 11.10? [12:31] iceroot, ActionParsnip, squig: Can we please move the discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic [12:31] Kartagis: yes [12:31] squig: LXDE? XFCE? E17? Awesome? Open/flux/blackbox? [12:31] Kartagis: don't use openssl? [12:31] Pici: its ubuntu related about what de to use [12:32] yeah, but there will be a "GNOME3 Classic" mode (right?) [12:32] jrib: then pass is plaintext [12:32] jrib, Kartagis Sounds like ubuntu has a max. of characters for psswd and he's wondering if there's a way to increase that, no? [12:32] Kartagis: no [12:32] Sidewinder1: no that's not the issue [12:32] lebear, no [12:32] jrib, Sorry, I misunderstood... :-( [12:32] ActionParsnip, that you for the fork message, I think that was very ontopic. I havnt touched E since the 90's [12:32] lebear: it only has unity and unity2d :) [12:32] Oh my... I hate unity [12:33] just have to wait for a workaround then [12:33] squig: still, there are alternatives. You may find gnome2 gets dropped by the gnome team. What then? Drop Linux??

[12:34] Pici: its not offtopic [12:34] yes, xfce is possibly the way forward [12:34] Kartagis: here, read this: http://www.gnu.org/s/libc/manual/html%5Fnode/crypt.html [12:34] one thing that annoys me with Unity is the Zeitgeist database, which keeps track of everything you do. I know it's core to Unity functioning, but is there a way to get rid of it anyway? [12:34] iceroot: yes it is. If you want to talk about Oneiric, join #ubuntu+1 [12:34] Pici: xubuntu-desktop is part of ubuntu [12:34] Pici: we are talking about xfce4 not 11.10 [12:34] i have 100 workstations I have to maintain and the desktop changes are too much [12:34] iceroot: you're all discussing a lot of things. [12:34] Pici: imo all related to ubuntu and 11.04 [12:35] iceroot, please, its gotten way offtopic [12:35] iceroot: its related to 11.10 [12:35] Kartagis, I have no idea how to increase the max. char. for password; I thought that was what you were asking. [12:35] Kartagis: if you want to use it through bash, there's a crypt function in perl [12:35] Pici: i dont think so but because you have the possibility to use /kick i am quit now :) [12:36] is xfce in 10.04 ? [12:36] squig: yes [12:36] squig: called "xubuntu-desktop" [12:36] Kartagis: once you read that page to understand the issue, if you're not sure what to do, googling "useradd perl crypt" will give you plenty of example usages [12:37] Kartagis: of course now the real question is why are you doing this? That is why aren't you just entering the password later instead of putting the password in plaintext in your shell's history? [12:40] jrib: I wanted to use a script to add users [12:40] squig: or install xfce4 for a minimal xfce where you can use your current gnome apps [12:40] Kartagis: why?

Cheers. === TheDaniel0108 is now known as Daniel0108 [13:18] I am gonna install xmail and see what happens [13:18] i'm experiencing 100% iowait during swapping, how can i prevent this? [13:20] XEDDO: What version of ubuntu do you have? [13:20] usr13: 11.04 [13:22] I found some discussion about 100% iowait and while it's not all that current, it does seem to suggest some sort of solution [13:22] how can I chroot directories under /srv/www ? [13:22] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/410096 [13:22] Launchpad bug 410096 in firefox-3.5 (Ubuntu) "Swap causes 100% IOWait and renders system useless" [High,Triaged] [13:22] Kartagis: You usually just chroot the root directory [13:22] Kartagis: What is your end goal? [13:23] Kartagis: What is it you are really trying to do? [13:23] !list [13:23] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic.

[13:23] salve [13:23] ho un problema con uno script di playonlinux [13:24] !it [13:24] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [13:24] usr13: sounds like my problem, although it doesnt only happen with firefox [13:24] usr13: prevent web users from cd into other directories [13:25] Kartagis: aaahhh. Ok, here is what you should do. Create users on the system for each. [13:25] i have python 2.6 on my system and i wanna install 2.7 , is necesary remove 2.6 version ? [13:25] I have a problem with a script for PlayOnLinux [13:25] usr13: yes I did [13:26] bambanx: no. You should not remove the version of python that your release come with, they can both be installed at the same time. [13:26] hi, i have been using skype on ubuntu for a while now, however i have run into a problem that I can't seem to solve => namely I can not use any combination to make special letter (e.g. e+´ = é etc...). Does anyone know why? [13:26] mkdir /home/user-name/www for each and symlink www/ to /srv/www (Apache follows symlinks by default). [13:26] Hi, I'm trying to compile this gtk engine, when I am in the process of doing './configure --prefix/usr --enable-animation', it tells me it can't continue because there is no GTK. Specifically,"configure: error: GTK+-2.10 is required to compile aurora [13:26] " [13:26] how can i do that? [13:27] hi [13:27] Pici: thanks but how can i do that? [13:27] i try to rebuild the dpkg source package === vivek is now known as Guest80288 [13:27] however it looks, as if dpkg is a dependency for dpkg-source itself [13:27] Kartagis: So when the user gains access to the system, he only has access to /home/user-name (which is all he needs). [13:27] how can i break this circular dependency? [13:27] vercingetorix: sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-aurora [13:27] ah, nevermind [13:27] usr13: /srv/www [13:27] i'll think about it a bit more [13:28] much obliged xangua, thanks! [13:29] hi gays [13:29] can i prevent ubuntu from swapping? [13:29] Kartagis: Example. Fred wants a site on your server and let us call it fred-wisdom so you creat symlink like so: [13:29] XEDDO: you can disable swap, yes, why would you want to? [13:29] hi [13:29] we have problem [13:29] ln -s /home/fred/www /var/www/fred-wisdom [13:29] popey: iowait takes 100% cpu while swapping [13:30] XEDDO: consume less ram ☺ [13:30] hmm, I still have the same problem at ./configure time xangua :( [13:30] popey: yeah but how :( [13:30] usr13: chroot works only for /home/ ? [13:30] vercingetorix: you now have aurora engine installed.... [13:30] XEDDO: whats eating your memory? use tools like top to find out? [13:30] i wanna setup a hobby server for me. i use lampp, but only sudo can access the /var/www folder. in gui i cant use sudo, how can i fix it? [13:30] sometimes the coffee doesn't kick in in time xangua ;) [13:31] sorry and thanks so much [13:31] bambanx: sudo apt-get install python2.7 [13:31] Kartagis: So on the server you might see /srv/www/fred-wisdom & /srv/www/george-wisdom & /srv/www/frank-wisdom etc. [13:31] popey: i only have 512mb ram and i dont see how i could reduce the use [13:31] XEDDO: well, first thing is to see what's using it [13:31] vercingetorix: you need breackfast with coffe, coffe alone doesn't gives you energy ;) [13:31] ecs 3 [13:32] XEDDO: you might consider trying a lighter *buntu (xubuntu or lubuntu) [13:32] Kartagis: Sorry that was a typo up there. /var/www/fred-wisdom should have been /srv/www/fred-wisdom But anyway, you get the point. Right? [13:32] yes [13:32] popey: well firefox takes around 200mb and xorg 50mb [13:32] XEDDO: maybe try chromium browser? [13:32] yeats: ill check it out thx [13:33] Pici: for example i need python 2.7for work with django framework when i will create projects wich of both use ? [13:33] Kartagis: BTW, you might get more in-depth or detailed info from #ubuntu-server [13:34] bambanx: Thats probably a better question for #django, but your scripts' shebang line can specify which python version you want to use. [13:35] Pici: ok thanks men [13:35] Ubuntu has mta system setup by default, it wasn't working for me because my gmail was putting it in spam [13:36] tp43: of course. [13:36] no one said anything like of course earlier [13:36] Kartagis: chroot is not something you need for this situation. Having users access the system via normal means is best. [13:37] tenX, debian doesn't have it setup by default, you have to install and configure it, it is easy to do though [13:37] Hello boys and girls> quick one ...what will you choose for a laptop installation ?? ubuntu 10.04.03 LTS or 10.10 - last version ??? and what are the differences between those two ??? [13:38] But I am just gonna use mailto so I don't have to code defense for spammers [13:38] tp43: your host is not "meant" to send mail from your addresses domain i'd guess. this will therefor mostly be categorized as spam [13:38] is there a way I can disable logging system-wide? and don't give me the "logs are important" speech. It's using up 90% of my harddisk [13:38] parapan: LTS is good for normal desktop use. If you want unity, go for 11.04 [13:39] tp43: probably you should use a smarthost [13:39] tenX, yeah, I just wanted it for testing, but I am going with mailto, I just wanted to know that I could have it setup if I wanted to [13:39] parapan: And yes, I recommend the point release which right now is 10.04.3 [13:39] tp43: k sounded like you were wondering [13:39] usr13 > what unity means ??? === speciesUnknown_ is now known as speciesUnknown [13:39] tp43: 'cause it looked like you were... /leaning/ [13:40] parapan: it's just a name, for a GNOME 3 shell/configuration [13:40] !unuty [13:40] !unity [13:40] Unity is the default UI for Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. You can still boot to the classic GNOME desktop; see !classic. [13:40] parapan, I'm an LTS fan, but that's me; you can look here for some basic descriptions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28operating_system%29 If you haven't already. [13:40] means state of one-ness [13:40] parapan: unity means .... alkafoo beet me to it! :) [13:41] in fact 'Oneness' would probably be the most apt true English way to say it [13:41] but that's not as catchy as the Latin-derived, is it [13:42] usr13: I have unity on a PC here and like it a lot. It is way different, and some don't like it yet, but trust me, it will catch on. [13:42] Sidewinder1: I've been there .....not much help ..LTS stands for Long Time Support ......isn't that better ??? ...getting the benefit of updates for 3 years instead of being "forced" to update to the new version each year let's say ???? [13:43] alkafoo: usr13 : thanks ...but thenthe LTS version is better correct ??? [13:43] I think unity means togetherness or the state of everything being in one spot. [13:44] parapan: LTS is for 'long term support', so for most people yes it's a better idea [13:44] parapan, It's all a matter of taste; I don't prefer upgrading every 6 mos. Again, that's me; If it ain't broke, don't fix it. :-) [13:44] usr13: semantics =) [13:44] Unity is the state of being undivided or unbroken.

To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic [13:45] Sidewinder1: exactly my point > I had bad experience when upgrading the OS on the laptop ...2 times tried .....2 broken systems I got ...on a LAPTOP ....on a desktop PC ...it worked like a charm with no problems ... === opt1mus is now known as Topiary [13:45] parapan: I don't know if I would call it "better", it is good and what you might call a bit more conservative in relation to stability or sort of cutting edge rather than bleeding edge. It's hard to define. [13:46] Hey everyone [13:46] parapan, So then, go with Lucid. My upgrade path has been: Gutsy, Hardy, Lucid and I'm "Happy as a Clam." [13:46] hi [13:46] hi alll [13:46] has anyone here got a Microsoft Lifecam and used it with ubuntu? [13:46] :) [13:46] usr13: even so, it's crystal clear ...if I want more stability the LTS is the choise ...if I want latest implemented technology I'll go for the last development correct ??? [13:46] any on here ? [13:46] xinau: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:46] is it possible to install ubuntu on a compact flash card (NOT USB) ? [13:46] Sidewinder1: thanks a lot bro' [13:46] xinau, Only about 1,602 [13:46] I am having issues with the syncing of the audio [13:47] Sidewinder1: ? [13:47] parapan, My pleasire. :-) [13:47] Sidewinder1: I don't understand what is 1,602 ? [13:47] usr13: thank's man; long live the penguin ! [13:48] xinau, There are currently 1,604 users logged into this channel, currently. [13:48] hmmm [13:48] lol [13:48] ok, the question is : Can I install Ubuntu by a compact flash disk ? [13:48] hello, i'm using an asus K52J laptop with 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 12) and 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT218 [GeForce 310M] (rev a2) and the drivers program shows that the nvidia driver is enabled but not in use. How do i fix that? [13:48] ubuntu 11.04 [13:48] has anyone had any issues recording video from their webcam? I am trying to record and audio just does not want to sync [13:49] xinau: onto, yes, though there are considerations [13:49] andybrine: what res is the video? [13:49] marko_: are you using 11.04? [13:49] parapan: The chart on this site might help you decide: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS [13:49] marko_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [13:49] rigved, yes [13:50] quick query about wireless. I installed 11.04 on my dad's PC and wireless was working fine....then it starting working only intermittently.....then it stopped completely. However I suggested he try booting the operating system off the iso cd....and it worked again. Anyone got any ideas why? [13:50] alkafoo in this case the res does not matter as i have tried all res and still an audio sync problem [13:50] andybrine: it could matter, but if you know everything I don't guess I can help you [13:51] hi [13:51] xinau: even if you could, there's probably not a(n easy) way to have your computer boot from it - I would stick to USB if possible [13:51] snow_ru: hi [13:51] how to installl ubuntu on a flash card ? [13:51] compactflash card [13:51] marko_: this is not a bug. use ccsm to enable some effects like wobbly windows. that will make use of your nvidia card. [13:51] SamLondon: is it PCI? TAke it out and [13:51] I meant, by a compact flash card [13:51] SamLondon: take it out and put it back in, make sure it's securely placed [13:51] alkafoo, no i dont know everything at all., I have just tested it with all resolutions from the highest till the lowest and still get the issue [13:52] andybrine: have you checked online to see if your hardware is known as flaky? === Guest21854 is now known as LjL-Temp [13:52] pretty much... yea, cutting edge vs bleeding edge [13:52] snow_ru: same way AFAIK [13:52] usr13: yeap ..thank you ....support until April 2013 for desktop version will do fine for me :D [13:52] he's using a USB dongle [13:52] AFAIK ? [13:52] alkafoo: no I havent, where can i find that out? === LjL-Temp is now known as Guest65895 [13:52] what confuses me is that (a) his laptop can connect fine and (b) as i say, when he ran Ubuntu off the CD, the wireless immediately worked again. [13:52] just burn iso to the flashcard and boot by the compactflashcard [13:53] ? [13:53] ? [13:53] snow_ru: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:53] does anyone know if the Microsoft exchange connector is working now with ubuntu mail client ?? [13:53] andybrine: http://www.google.com/search?q=INSERTCAMERAMODEL%20out%20of%20sync [13:53] ? [13:53] parapan, You gonna' dual-boot or just jump right on in? [13:53] snow_ru: you want to install _from_ compact flash? [13:53] snow_ru: even if you could get ubuntu on the flash card, there's probably not a(n easy) way to have your computer boot from it - I would stick to USB if possible [13:53] parapan: That chart helps you plan for the future, you can see when you will be wanting or needing to do a distribution upgrade. [13:53] alkafoo, ok thanks [13:53] parapan: you can upgrade to the next LTS: 12.04 LTS, anytime after april 2012, which is much before april 2013. [13:53] Sidewinder1: not a chance Ubuntu alone and W7 running in a VirtulBox box :D [13:54] yeats: the problem is that my computer does not have an option to boot from USB [13:54] :( [13:54] rigved: yeap , correct ..only to have the proper time to do so :D [13:54] just have an option to boot from a "Generic Compact flash card" [13:54] parapan, I don't do "virtual" so I have no clue. [13:54] snow_ru: ah - well, then try and see [13:55] which program do we use to write iso image to the flashcard ? [13:55] and make it bootable , of course [13:55] snow_ru: I would try unetbootin [13:55] parapan: just make sure that you have enough cpu speed and ram space for w7 because it will need a lot, especially in a VM. [13:55] !unetbootin | snow_ru [13:55] snow_ru: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [13:56] Sidewinder1: ok ....I need a virtualization on W7 since the mail client of ubuntu it's not working with our Microsoft Exchange Server .....I know it was a developemnt for a ME connector but ...didn't tried for 2 years by now ...and originally it was not working .. [13:56] K [13:56] anyone have any thoughts on this wireless issue? what might cause wireless to start working only intermittently, then stop completely if it was working fine originally? [13:56] Sidewinder1: It's not USB [13:56] rigved: I'm running it now also ....it is true, at the boot I cannot aford to do anything else on Ubuntu ...otherwise it will get blocked ..... [13:57] it's compact flashcard Sidewinder1 [13:57] SamLondon: Laptop? [13:57] snow_ru, Sorry, I'm trying to follow too many conversations... :-( [13:57] no, desktop. [13:57] snow_ru: the procedure would be the same [13:57] again ...doea anyone know if the Ubuntu mail client is working with a Microsoft Exchange server ???? [13:57] parapan: http://fourforces.wordpress.com/2008/02/04/setup-mozilla-thunderbird-to-work-with-microsoft-exchange-server/ [13:57] parapan: why wouldn't it [13:57] snow_ru: understand, I don't know that it will work, just that that's the way I would try doing it ;-) [13:58] parapan: if you want to use hotmail with evolution or other mail cliente, i recomend you to use pop3 [13:58] alkafoo: I tried with Evolution client ...didn't worked with our ME Server ... [13:58] parapan: then use thunderbird [13:59] xangua: pop3 it's out of the question on my server ... [13:59] parapan: you probably didn't configure it as required, then [13:59] ActionParsnip: interesting, tried yourself¿ [13:59] parapan: there are loads of mail clients for Ubuntu [13:59] parapan: i had heard that evolution did have ms exchange support. i remember it being discussed in UDS O. [13:59] parapan: seriously? [13:59] ActionParsnip: good to see ya again > I'll give that link a try ....10x [13:59] xangua: no but if you check this: http://duckduckgo.com/?q=thunderbird+exchange+server it seems a lot of folks say it can [13:59] SamLondon: Intermitten problems are the hardest to solve. I had a laptop like that, I nearly gave up on it, but finally, it just started working again and hasn't stopped in a while. It is the laptop that the XYL uses in the living room and it gets used all the time. It almost never fails her any more. For a while I had a wireless bridge on it. [13:59] parapan: see the link above [13:59] K [14:00] thank you all >I'll come back with questions if any :D [14:00] parapan, Guess you already tried messin' w/Thunderbird. [14:00] Sidewinder1: once ...long time ago :D [14:00] parapan, Best of luck. :D [14:00] SamLondon: Waht WiFi card does it have?

Just link your program to /usr/local/bin using teh same name for the link as the program [14:22] you should be able to just cp it in there [14:22] Theishi: that way, you can edit/replace/recompile the program as user and won't need root privileges every time [14:22] th0r: thats what i did [14:23] Theishi: make sure your program is marked executable.

[14:31] the .desktop menu items with 32x32 .png images [14:31] alkafoo, If your typing was as bad as mine you'd love the bot too. :-) [14:31] No they are internal sata drives [14:31] i installed phpmyadmin but i cant access it in localhost/phpmyadmin [14:31] I do love bots, but I doubt the info linked is going to help [14:31] fdasdfs: what capacity?

[14:32] I have 4 HDDs, a 64gb SSD that is detected, a 500gb that is detected, a 500gb that isn't, and a 750 gb that isn't [14:32] im not extremely rich you know [14:32] alkafoo I just installed ubuntu [14:32] i only can afford 2 servers at the moment so hyper-v is my only option [14:33] fdasdfs: they're all NTFS as far as you know? [14:33] Vidar: should've afforded a Unix server =P [14:33] is there a channel for the 11.10 beta? [14:33] The 500gb and 750 gb are ntfs, but again they aren't showing up in /dev/ [14:33] !11.10 [14:33] Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) will be the fifteenth release of Ubuntu. Codename announcement here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/?p=646 Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [14:33] Vidar: try asking #windows-server or ##windows [14:33] well anyway i need my ubuntu to shut down on hyper-v on command [14:33] Hi, when trying to use different themes on ubuntu, I notice that the window controls are the same boxy gray thing despite changing the themes I downloaded. what is wrong/am i missing? looks like the default gnome for low-res or something.. [14:34] ill take a look thx [14:34] fdasdfs: I wonder if they could be GPT, and your install is missing gpt support in the kernel [14:34] anyone help with rsyslog? [14:34] everything else in the themes (icons, window borders, etc all work) [14:34] mainemike: what about it [14:34] Hello I need to manually delete two lines in sources.list in ubuntu 10.10., how I do that? [14:34] alkafoo I am running 10.04 and when installing it gave GPT as option when partioning so I assume it is installed [14:35] mainemike: just list your problem(s) and if anyone can, they will help. [14:35] blackcatnekonegr, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [14:35] Hello I need to manually delete two lines in sources.list in ubuntu 10.10., how I do that? If I try to run Synaptic it gives me an error message and refuses to load [14:35] need help with a conf file...in the file I have %$YEAR%%$MONTH% problem is that my file has exactly that instead of YYYYMM [14:36] fdasdfs: well you're probably just missing some driver [14:36] blackcatnekonegr: what is the error message? [14:36] hi, how can I hide show a panel with command line ? [14:36] fdasdfs: might hit up ##linux [14:37] faLUCE: does the panel have a hiding function built into it? [14:37] bazhang, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list worked, thank you [14:37] faLUCE: should be able to set the hide or not hide using gconf-tool [14:37] bye and thanks [14:37] my rsyslog conf $template ends with %$YEAR%$%$MONTH%/web_%$DAY%.log" -my file is named web%$YEAR%%$MONTH%%$DAY%.log [14:37] ActionParsnip: in which way ? [14:38] fdasdfs, Or you could search http://ubuntuforums.org [14:38] not really the result I was expecting [14:38] faLUCE: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2009/09/21/completely-hide-gnome-panel/ [14:38] I have tried searching Sidewinder1 [14:39] faLUCE: shows the syntax of the command and how it relates to the structure in gconf-editor. You can use that to make a command (or two) to show / hise the panel etc === Mkaysi is now known as Guest81741 [14:39] ActionParsnip: I tried gconftool-2 --set --type integer /apps/panel/toplevels/top_panel_screen0/auto_hide_size 0 but it doesn't work [14:39] ActionParsnip: I need to hide or show panels "on the fly" [14:39] faLUCE: thats the autohide size/ I only gave the link as it shows the SYNTAX [14:40] fdasdfs, Sorry I could not be of more help. :-( [14:40] Sidewinder1 your bots won't help you now [14:40] faLUCE: run gconf-editor and you can see what thing needs setting, then CHANGE the command in the link to reflect. [14:41] fdasdfs, You're right; I'm done. === Guest81741 is now known as Mkaysi [14:41] I installed mdadm using live, but cat /proc/mdstat does not show the raid device [14:41] ActionParsnip: gconf-editor is a gui app. I want to hide/show a panel with a command line === genupulas is now known as raju [14:41] faLUCE: if you actually read the command, you would see it isn't what you needed. [14:41] faLUCE: jesus. [14:41] I'm doing a reinstall of 10.04.3 server and it's being at "cleaning up" for a while now with a lot of disk activity. Does it do a fsck at this stage or something else? [14:41] where do I find boot-repair in 11.04? [14:43] faLUCE: the command is WORKED OUT using the GUI app, once you know which item in gconf-editor needs changing, you can change the command in the page I gave to reflect the item. You can then make a script or alias which you can then use in command line to change the entry. You are only using the GUI app to INITIALLY reseaerch the layout of the settings to see which folder stores the hide etc setting. [14:43] fdasdfs: Do you get it now? [14:44] wrong tabv [14:44] hey guys need a hand with something [14:44] dougl, Have you looked here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [14:44] faLUCE: do you see what I mean now>? [14:44] I am having an issue with glxgears [14:45] ActionParsnip: I just found a script for doing that [14:45] Sidewinder1, no I looked at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [14:45] faLUCE: I don't have gconf here as I am only SSHd to my home PC from work so I have given you the knowhow to find out for yourself which value needs changing and how it is changed in command line, which is what you wanted [14:45] I just realised the audio sync on mircosoft life cinema are not very good. I would recomend having a seperate microphone to record with and it will work perfectly well [14:47] why are my graphical programs showing as running but not appearing at all?

[14:49] Can I set an executable bit on a file that's on an NTFS partition? [14:49] nicofs: no, you will need to mount the partition with executable bit set for all [14:50] AcftionParsnip...

Not all do [14:52] mirandaim: i'm sure many do [14:52] roger that === Guest65895 is now known as LjL-Temp [14:52] yes it nworked on win 7 [14:52] okay [14:53] i will pm you this output ActionParsnip [14:53] you'll want to look into ALSA and pulse audio configuration, then [14:53] http://pastebin.com/6Y5eK6J8 === LjL-Temp is now known as Guest42899 [14:53] xeNULL: if you go to http://pastie.org [14:53] ActionParsnip: wondering if it displays menu items (.desktop files) that refer to images of 32x32 .png files [14:53] right cool [14:53] xeNULL: make a paste there and give the URL of the page when it changes we can ALL see it [14:54] http://pastie.org/2508825 [14:54] mirandaim: sure, if you make a correct .desktop file, it can run whatever you want [14:54] there we go [14:54] what setting should they be at [14:55] thats when I try to run second life [14:55] but the same happens with glxgears [14:55] xeNULL: how about something more common, like gedit [14:55] gedit works fine [14:55] ActionParsnip: i meant, the old gnome-panel displayed 32x32 .png icons but the new unity perhaps has larger icons, how does it display icons of size 32x32, does it zoom them :D [14:55] hi all :) [14:55] its just apps that use the graphics card [14:55] Ubuntu is the best :) [14:56] ActionParsnip: because the new icons look considerably larger ;) [14:56] George is king :) [14:56] mirandaim: you mean you want to resize the unity icons? [14:56] like glxgears, secondlife, tremulous etc. [14:56] hi there [14:56] xeNULL: do you have 3D accelleration setup? === Mkaysi is now known as Guest21182 [14:57] ActionParsnip: i was asking if i install an old app that uses 32x32 icons will they show up correctly in unity screen and how bad they will look like!

[14:59] ActionParsnip: if it works, i love you [15:00] Ubuntu THe BEST !!!!! [15:00] ActionParsnip: does it pick the app list from /usr/share/applications i mean unity or some other location [15:00] Teh_Lemon: 64bit flash is groovy, not sure abot the video chat [15:00] should i go x86 chrome? [15:00] uN1xUbunt: we know, please stay on topic. General chat is in #ubuntu-offtopic [15:00] mirandaim: dash does but you can manually make a .desktop and drag it to the bar if you want [15:00] Teh_Lemon: no, use 64bit chrome [15:01] anyone familiar wtih using apt-mirror to create a local ubuntu mirror? I'm wondering about symlinking to apache and having different ubuntu sources listed ... archive.canocial (for partnet) vs archive.ubuntu (for main, multiverse, etc). how do i deal with that? [15:01] okay [15:01] pici: actionparsnip: i did but i get 404 again. [15:01] I think I might just go back to the dark corners of crunchbang [15:01] lol [15:01] Jackneill: you need to restart apache after doing that. [15:01] kk.. if i now try to upgrade.. ( i wanna upgrade from jaunty to karmic etc etc) but it says: an upgrade from jaunty to lucid is not supported. [15:01] thanks pici and actionparsnip [15:02] brb I will try upgrading to natty and see if that helps at all [15:02] ActionParsnip: heard they have changed the place where dash would show up from panel to the left bar :D [15:03] alkafoo, Having to run this on my other machine as I can't load anything in the gui under ubuntu [15:03] hm... still nothing === Mkaysi_ is now known as Mkaysi [15:03] I will be back... [15:04] Triorieel: just curious [15:04] Triorieel: you can try manually running the applications that haven't run as they should have [15:04] Triorieel: the panel, nautilus, etc., but really it might be worth considering installing from the ordinary install image [15:05] Jackneill: I just gave the command to do what Pici suggested ;) [15:05] Hello , I just installed ubuntu to a external HDD but I cant bbot from it , I changes the BIOS settings so it boots from Removable Dev. (Theres nothing else only my internal HDD that i dont wanna boot from [15:05] ActionParsnip: youtube works, but i cannot start facebook video chat. i have webcam, its built in, im on acer aspire 5738ZG. [15:06] i dont have video chat button in chat window, i used to have in on windows 7 [15:06] Ristovski: what happens when you boot? [15:06] edbian " I cant [15:06] Teh_Lemon: does the webcam show in cheese? [15:06] it doesnt boot it boots windows instead [15:06] Ristovski: What happens when you try? [15:06] hm... [15:06] Ristovski: Where is windows installed? [15:06] it shows in skype [15:06] windows boots up [15:06] hi [15:06] didnt install cheese on this installation [15:06] edbian : internal HDD [15:06] Ristovski: If you're talking to me please use my name. [15:06] Hello [15:06] how do I set the kernel that is booted by default in Ubuntu's auto-generated grub2 config file? [15:06] alkafoo, This is a fresh install because I was having these problems on my last install and I was hoping it was a problem with takign the hard drive from another machine and putting it into my new one [15:06] i.e. what should I edit instead of grub.cfg? [15:06] edbian: to an internal HDD [15:06] I'm having a networking issue with Natty [15:06] Ristovski: Then you're not telling the BIOS to boot the external. [15:07] Teh_Lemon: good enough, not sure what facebook's standing is on Linux. The group I posted may be able to advise [15:07] I cant use my webcam in Skype, either, also on an Acer [15:07] is there a way to get the motherboard's total amount of memory slots, as well as the used slots, size of RAM module, etc, from Ubuntu? Like CPU-Z on Windows? [15:07] edbian: I am I set teh first boot prioritz to Removable DEv (my external HDD is USB) [15:07] I was able to join my Natty to a windows domain using like-wise open [15:07] you posted one discussion... [15:07] not group [15:07] :/ [15:07] Teh_Lemon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8u49W2NmA-Y maybe [15:07] WhatTheQt, sudo lshw -html > somefile.html [15:07] however when I go to places / network / Windows the domain does not appear [15:07] I can ping all DC's though [15:07] Teh_Lemon: http://www.buzzom.com/2011/07/facebook-video-chat-not-supported-on-linux/ [15:08] edbian: is there spmething I can do? [15:08] Ristovski: Sometimes the BIOS will list the removable hdd with the other harddrives. I suggest you hunt around your bios some more. If you boot a liveCD I know a command we can run that will prove that grub is installed. [15:08] Triorieel: your last install from the same minimal image? [15:08] Ristovski, edbian the external hdd might not have the boot bit - or however it's called... [15:08] edbian: I cant boot even boot from USB stick so its a bios problem [15:08] nicofs: What is a 'boot bit' ? [15:09] ActionParsnip: im new on ubuntu. i used it before but never gave it a big try [15:09] will wine work [15:09] ? [15:09] edbian, or does that only apply to usb keys...? [15:09] you probably don't have an MBR created [15:09] edbian: Its a bios problem else I could boot my USB stick [15:09] Ristovski: agreed. Look in more detail at your bios. Go into every menu and setting. [15:09] or it shows to target i am using linux after all [15:09] id10t: thanks [15:09] nicofs: I don't even know what the 'boot bit' is! [15:09] alkafoo, No, that was a proper install from ubuntu versions ago that has been kept upto date [15:09] edbian: I was , I tried everything , and still i cant find my HDD in it [15:09] I'm doing a reinstall of 10.04.3 server and it's being at "cleaning up" for a while now with a lot of disk activity. Does it do a fsck at this stage or something else? [15:09] nicofs, linux doesn't care about the boot-flag [15:09] edbian: he's talking about the MBR [15:09] IdleOne: can i pm real quick? [15:10] karmst: The 'boot bit' is the MBR? That does not make sense [15:10] rumpe1, linux can't care if it doesn't boot in the firs place... [15:10] there is no such thing as a boot bit [15:10] Triorieel: and it was having the same problem as you're having now from a fresh install? [15:10] edbian: I feel so badly... [15:10] Teh_Lemon: could try it [15:10] nicofs, it doesn't care ever [15:10] semitones_tea: anytime [15:11] <[THC]AcidRain> man same issue as last night. if i dont use the uuid in fstab, then my external drives are mounted as Server2_ Server_ instead of Server and Server2 [15:11] alkafoo, correct...although I took it further on the last install and used drivers from the nvidia site then tried going back to the distribution drivers and that created a huge mess I felt like starting from scratch with [15:11] Ristovski: sorry to hear that [15:11] thanks ActionParsnip. if it works, you get a cookie :D [15:11] edbian: thanks... [15:11] yes the MBR is what tells your drive what sector your grub is in [15:11] or whatever boot manager you are using [15:12] edbian: i wish there was some way to boot from it , I really love Ubuntu 10.04 but Im forced to use Windows [15:12] why can't you? [15:12] <[THC]AcidRain> but if i DO use uuid,then they are mounted what appears to be 2 times. at Server Server and Server2 server2 [15:12] edbian: since I cant boot from External HDD [15:12] <[THC]AcidRain> is there any sure way around this issue? [15:12] just write GRUB from scratch? [15:12] karmst: read up [15:12] Ristovski: Ubuntu isn't always the solution [15:12] Ristovski: There is. Mess with the bios settings. Try removing the internal hdd (physically disconnect it) [15:12] edbian: laptop... [15:12] don't do all that [15:13] Ristovski: You can still remove the hdd. (sometimes it's hard) [15:13] edit fstab to mount your OS partition [15:13] anyone familiar wtih using apt-mirror to create a local ubuntu mirror? I'm wondering about symlinking to apache and having different ubuntu sources listed ... archive.canocial (for partnet) vs archive.ubuntu (for main, multiverse, etc). how do i deal with that? [15:13] edbian: nah i dont wanna do that... [15:13] Ristovski: ok [15:13] then edit grub to use that as the boot [15:13] pretty easy [15:13] can tell me any sound cards which work well with ubuntu [15:13] karmst: he needs to edit the bios, not grub [15:13] <[THC]AcidRain> karmst [15:13] why cant i upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10?? It still keeps checking all the updates and it only wants to install the latest version, and that i cant do cuz its not supported.. [15:13] <[THC]AcidRain> can you help me. you seem to know a great deal about fstab [15:13] edbian: yeah ... [15:13] sure [15:14] !upgrade | Yvonne1 [15:14] Yvonne1: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [15:14] A_J: ##hardware can [15:14] !eol [15:14] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [15:14] thanks alkafoo [15:14] Yvonne1: also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [15:14] edbian: he doesn't need to do anything to his bios [15:14] it's linux [15:14] Ynonnel: pretty sure 9.10 is already at eol, so you can't upgrade to it [15:14] you can have it mount a NFS share and boot from it if you would want to [15:14] karmst: I _strongly_ disagree. He needs to tell the BIOS to boot his external hdd [15:15] edbian: is there something I can do? (Sorry for bothering you but I feel like shattered - im trying to boot ubuntu from USB stick and now HDD for 2 weeks) [15:15] watermark: you must update to 9.10 and then 10.04 (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades) [15:15] <[THC]AcidRain> ok. if i use fstab and enter them by uuid, my comp 1. tries to boot from them, if i remove them and boot my comp, then it appears to mount them 2 times. at Server Server and Server2 Server2. if i enter them into fstab by /dev/sdf1 then it does NOT try to boot from them. and it mounts them at Server_ Server2_ and it leaves Server and Server2 as an option [15:15] <[THC]AcidRain> karmst, ^ [15:15] Ristovski: You need to understand your bios. This is not something I can help with. [15:15] Ristovski: alternatively. Install grub on your internal [15:15] edbian: then you obviously don't know how storage actually works [15:15] 9.10 isnt eol.. but even if i wanted, i cant choose which one i want [15:15] edbian: is it safe_ === mike is now known as Guest83812 [15:16] Yvonne1: you have to use the upgrade-manager not the update-manager (see links from ubottu ) [15:16] ow it is eol, but cant choose one anyway [15:16] karmst: What are you talking about? Ristovski installed ubuntu on his external. When he boots he gets windows (installed on an internal). He needs to edit his bios. [15:16] AcidRain: is it a raid array? [15:16] Ristovski: yes [15:16] whats better, emesene or amsn? [15:16] Ristovski: but you have to boot a liveCD / liveUSB [15:16] ok [15:16] live cd [15:16] bye [15:16] <[THC]AcidRain> karmst, what do you mean by raid array? i have 1 internal drive that SHOULD be booted from first by the bios order. and i have 2 external drives [15:17] Jackneill: the one you like more [15:17] <[THC]AcidRain> the 2 external is the issue [15:17] things that are EOL still have upgrade instructions available anyways [15:17] and where can i find this upgrade manager?

[15:20] CyborgSmurf: help in what way? [15:20] that's weird [15:20] [THC]AcidRain: the hard disk boot order is decided by your BIOS settings, not your grub list. [15:20] i have for 6 days now [15:20] <[THC]AcidRain> karmst, if i could take a ss of my Places menu for you. you would see more what im talking about [15:21] cuz it keeps searching for the nwest upgrade. i cant choose [15:21] <[THC]AcidRain> rigved, right. sry thats what i mean [15:21] <[THC]AcidRain> meant* [15:21] ActionParsnip: set up IP for both computers... (I am really bad at this so be patient) [15:21] @luc__ have a look in the software center [15:21] <[THC]AcidRain> but what i dont understand. is why is it not being mounted to the folder Server and Server2. it looks like it is creating its own folder Server and Server2 that are not being listed [15:22] <[THC]AcidRain> brb [15:22] ActionParsnip: for playing games (StarCraft) [15:22] Hi, I'm unable to boot my livecd ubuntu [15:22] CyborgSmurf: use network manager in the panel. click edit connections. Click wired. click your connection then cick Edit. Set the interface to static [15:22] it keeps saying: an upgrade from jaunty to lucid is not supported [15:22] for what am i looking for [15:22] it seems xserver is crashing. [15:22] ActionParsnip: XP or Ubuntu? [15:22] italomaia: maybe it was a bad burn, using a USB stick might be better [15:22] Yvonne1: you can grab the karmic alternate ISO, MD5 test it, mount it and then upgrade using that [15:22] alkafoo: i checked. My installed ubuntu stopped working too [15:22] CyborgSmurf: Ubuntu [15:23] CyborgSmurf: you are in the ubuntu support channel.. [15:23] alkafoo: i'm trying to boot from livecd to backup what was in my ubuntu local install [15:23] fixes patches control centers drivers that sort of thing [15:23] I think i need to boot from livecd in text mode [15:23] don't know if ubuntu supports that [15:24] italomaia: possibly; use http://www.sysresccd.org/ [15:24] CyborgSmurf: then set the IP to siomething like 10.0.0.10 with netmask of 255.255.255.0 [15:24] CyborgSmurf: in Windows set the IP to 10.0.0.20 and netmask 255.255.255.0 [15:25] ActionParsnip: static? I cant find a label with that... [15:25] alkafoo: woa! I'm gonna try that. Thanks =D [15:25] CyborgSmurf: in the drop down, it will be DHCP, change it to Manual [15:26] I ran the ubuntu installer off a usb stick I greated with the startup disk creator program. When I try to run the install it only gives me the option of blowing away the old Windows install or manually partitioning on my own. There used to be an option to dual boot. How do I re-enable or get to the dual boot option?

[15:29] CyborgSmurf: there isn't one, that's only for web access. You can put 10.0.0.1 if you want. Doesn't do anything [15:29] CyborgSmurf: you may need to leave it blank if it doesn't work [15:30] CyborgSmurf: actually leave it blank, less confusion [15:30] ActionParsnip: I will [15:30] ActionParsnip: how do I know if they can find each other over the cable and not the wireless(I have that too) === mike_ is now known as Guest63308 === Guest63308 is now known as pgreen919 [15:35] is there a specific channel for 11.10b1?

[15:39] mang0: e.g. you install program a which is pulluing program b, then you remove program a and b is still installed but because it is installed only because of a autoremove will remove it [15:39] hello everyone, I'm using the "openntpd" package to setup a simple workstation to server NTP sync [15:39] it doesn't work however [15:39] I'm using ntpdate and it will not sync [15:39] is rssh still good to use to allow FTP and block SSH? [15:40] iceroot: Gotcha. So basically sudo apt-get autoremove firefox will literally delete any packages to do wtih firefox? [15:40] Âñåì äîáðîãî âðåìåíè ñóòîê [15:40] hi folks. My issue in one line: python -c "import bonobo" ImportError: No module named bonobo [15:40] mang0: just "sudo apt-get autoremove" [15:40] mang0: also see "man apt-get" [15:40] iceroot: ah, thankyou :) [15:41] any crontab gurus here: How frequently is this run? --> 0 7 * * * rm /tmp/xyz.dat [15:41] mang0: onces a day at 7oclock [15:41] magicblaze007: ^ [15:42] iceroot: thanks a lot [15:42] Sorry, is this eng conference? [15:42] iceroot: ? [15:42] Gerain69: yes [15:42] oh [15:42] stacey: Do you have the python-gnome2 package installed? [15:42] mang0: wrong nick [15:42] :P [15:42] yeah k ;) [15:42] Gerain69: This is the offical Ubuntu support channel. [15:42] Pici: according to dpkg -l yes I do [15:43] is there a cmd i can use to increase my network card speed to a more consistant number [15:43] stacey: What release of Ubuntu are you using? [15:43] hi [15:44] organiks: you mean to make it faster? [15:44] yes it fluctuates [15:44] Pici: Linux 2.6.27-17-generic kubutnu (linuxmce) 8.10 [15:44] Who know where rus ubuntu conference, tel me please, i write by phone [15:45] stacey: 8.10 is no longer supported, sorry. [15:45] Gerain69: #ubuntu-ru [15:45] organiks: lynx ebay.com is imo the only command to make it faster [15:45] organiks: with other words, you cant make your card faster then it is [15:45] from 54 to 300 [15:45] Pici: linuxmce 10.04 is still beta [15:45] no the speed changes [15:45] organiks: ah you mean to use wifi in n-mode [15:45] yeah [15:45] silly me [15:45] organiks: does your card support it? [15:46] Do you reckon it's worth doing sudo apt-get dist-upgrade? [15:46] yes [15:46] stacey: linuxmce isn't a supported variant of Ubuntu either. They have their own channel in #linuxmce [15:46] organiks: and its changing from 300mbit/s to 54mbit/s sometimes? or only runs in 54mbit/s? [15:46] which I tried last night already [15:46] changes but mainly runs in 54mbit mode [15:47] organiks: you can try another driver but normally wifi is setting the speed doen if the connection-quality is bad [15:47] Running a natty server, how do I change the size of /dev/shm? None of the guides I can find via google mention grub2, they all edit menu.lst [15:48] connection is full [15:48] Ok :) *THUMBS UP* [15:48] i need to set the capture volume of my microphone with alsa, how do i do that?

[15:52] <[THC]AcidRain> ok ive managed to narrow down my issue. regardless how i enter information into fstab. it will always mount my external drives 2 times each [15:53] <[THC]AcidRain> and as long as my external drives are hooked up to my computer, my comp will try to mount them during boot, and it fails. it trying to do this also causes grub to go crazy and needs me to do a few things === Guest42899 is now known as LjL-Temp [15:53] Hi, when writing scripts for the Notify-OSD, I can't use notify-send since there is none installed on my system for some reason. However, Ubuntu tells me I have notify-osd. I even tried uninstalling notify-osd and reinstalling it. How do I get notify-send, shouldn't it be part of the notify-osd package? === LjL-Temp is now known as Guest47699 [15:54] vercingetorix: you need the libnotify-bin backage. [15:54] *package.

[15:59] can anybody tellme how to install video drivers a just downloaded from nvidia [15:59] ActionParsnip: macbook pro 4,1 [16:00] luc__: boot to root recovery mode, mark the file as executable and run it, its easier to use the additional drivers app in the OS [16:00] luc__: don't use them from nvidia.com - use the ubuntu drivers [16:00] luc__: ubuntu ships the same drivers as from nvidia.com in the hardware drivers tool [16:00] elb0w`: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook4-1/Natty not seen that? [16:01] i am new to ubuntu so i dont realy know how to do things yet [16:01] luc__: press alt+2 and type: driver and wait [16:01] ActionParsnip: does that work to open jocky ?

[16:11] yes [16:11] <[THC]AcidRain> so can anyone help me fix my mount problem? i dont know how to fix the external hdd. i guess my system will just try to mount them regardless what i do, during boot [16:11] luc__: ok try: gksudo jockey-gtk [16:12] <[THC]AcidRain> if i want my system to boot properly, i have to hit f12 and select to boot from my internal drive, then i have to skip the mounting of both my external drives [16:12] ActionParsnip, do you know the difference or which command is more "secure" w.r.t. to permissions? [16:12] rumpe1: one uses root's profile, one uses the users [16:12] rumpe1: they are the same binary but the interpretter uses them differently [16:14] !fstab | [THC]AcidRain [16:14] [THC]AcidRain: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [16:14] a list came up [16:14] <[THC]AcidRain> wildbat, fstab is epic fail [16:14] luc__: yay, enable the nvidia driver [16:14] <[THC]AcidRain> fstab is what is causing all these problems for me i believe [16:15] downloading now [16:15] how do you get the name to come on here [16:16] hi everyone, i need some help [16:16] I got a wireless network card that acts funny [16:16] any ideas? [16:16] luc__: type a few of the characters of the name and press TAB [16:17] xtcv: in which way funny? [16:17] <[THC]AcidRain> xtcv, what version of linux? [16:17] xtcv: also what wifi chip is it [16:17] [THC]AcidRain, if you have to use f12 to start some boot-manager to select the internal drive, set the internal drive in BIOS as boot-device (with higher priority?). If linux asks to skip the external drives, because they couldn't be found, add "noauto" to their fstab-entries [16:17] ActionParsnip, thanks [16:17] !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!​,0!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [16:17] !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!​,0!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [16:17] !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!​,0!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [16:17] d0pe: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:18] ActionParsnip, this is my first week using linux [16:18] <[THC]AcidRain> rumpe1, that actually sounds good. but wouldnt noauto mean that i have to mount them manually? and my internal drive is set as the first drive to boot from [16:18] ubuntu 11.04 x86 Belkin can't remember which one... some websites load fine, others load REALLY slow, or not at all. Thing is I can hook up my android phone and wireless thether the wifi through the USB and it's fast as anything [16:19] [THC]AcidRain, noauto in fstab prevents mounting at boot-time, it doesn't prevent automount later [16:19] ActionParsnip, need to restart comp now [16:19] <[THC]AcidRain> rumpe1, that sounds like a perfect fix, hang on, let me do some googling [16:19] using the ath5k driver [16:20] xtcv: It's necessarily your chip (hopefully it isn't). Have you tried to contact your ISP? [16:21] xtcv: Sorry, It's NOT necessarily your chip* [16:21] well i don't think it's the ISP, as I said, Router -> Phone (wifi) -> USB is full speed (10Mbps) [16:21] Wifes laptop runs great too.... [16:21] xtcv: Oh, I thought you ment 3G tethering ;) [16:21] just this PC [16:22] xtcv: that stinks, let me google a bit. [16:22] oh I 3G tether all the time... :_) [16:22] <[THC]AcidRain> rumpe1, so for example: UUID=1d112679-6e31-481f-86eb-f7ec25756183 /media/Server2 ext3 errors=noauto,remount-rw,users,user 0 0 [16:22] <[THC]AcidRain> would this be correct? [16:23] xtcv: I know! It's awesome! === xy is now known as evilxy [16:23] [THC]AcidRain, no, noauto has nothing to do with errors [16:24] Hey guys, how do I remove something without leaving any orphans and such? I'm trying to uninstall virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper and reinstall them completely clean [16:24] Tried pip uninstall, but it left ~/.virtualenv [16:24] xtcv: Did it work/have you tried it in the older versions? [16:24] ActionParsnip, still no sound but now i have the left side bar [16:24] [THC]AcidRain, why "users,user" ? [16:24] It's a Belkin FD57000 [16:24] <[THC]AcidRain> well that means any user can mount, and user can write? right? [16:25] Yeah in 10.04 it worked great [16:25] it works well in ::gulp:: Windows 7 [16:25] [THC]AcidRain:no, read "man mount" again [16:26] hi there. how can i enable a getty on ttyS0 on a todays ubuntu system that doesn't have an /etc/inittab file? thanks. [16:26] I found this little fella': https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/775104 - could it be your bug? [16:26] Launchpad bug 775104 in linux (Ubuntu) "Kernel 2.6.38.8: ath5k driver wireless signal strength critically weak " [Medium,Incomplete] [16:26] xtcv: Or not you bug like in your bugpost, but do you think it's the same problem? [16:26] <[THC]AcidRain> oh its group user [16:26] [THC]AcidRain:no, read "man mount" again [16:26] <[THC]AcidRain> lol [16:27] @luc__ right click the file, go to the permissions tab and let it be run as executable [16:27] ???? I'm [16:27] [THC]AcidRain: you set permissions using chmod/chown on ext-fs, not via fstab/mount-options [16:27] confused..... [16:27] [THC]AcidRain, man mount: "user: ordinary user can mount [and only he can] unmount" "users: allow every user to mount/unmount" [16:28] [THC]AcidRain, why not just "defaults,users,noauto" ? [16:28] How do I uninstall something without leaving orphans? [16:28] <[THC]AcidRain> rumpe1, and leave out the errors option? [16:28] I installed windows which trashed my ubuntu install so I ran boot-repair and now ubuntu takes and incredibly long time to boot up... any suggestions? [16:28] ran boot-repair to reinstall grub... [16:29] <[THC]AcidRain> rumpe1, well honestly i had it somewhat the way you are telling me before hand. then i lost so much faith in myself i downloaded storage device manager from repos. and it added that information in there just like that [16:29] <[THC]AcidRain> and it was rated 4.5 stars [16:29] dougl it's always best to install win first then ubuntu [16:29] <[THC]AcidRain> so i assumed it knew a little more than i did [16:29] aple: try using synaptic and find what you want to remove and select completely remove [16:29] aple: just make sure you know nothing else depends on it [16:30] Is there any sort of colour calibration program for ubuntu? My screen looks seriously messed up o.o [16:31] I had a similar problem when I was using my on-board video card some months ago [16:32] [THC]AcidRain, i don't understand the error-option... why remount readwriteable, if there are some errors? usually you remount readonly (ro) for recovery. [16:32] <[THC]AcidRain> rumpe1, well i took that out. like i said, that is what storage device manager did, not me [16:33] <[THC]AcidRain> rumpe1, my next question for you. is why does it show under "Places" the device 2 times? [16:33] knobydobs, it says could not create the archive archive not supported [16:33] <[THC]AcidRain> yet in /media/ there is only 1 mount point for each one [16:33] how do I apt-cache search string with multiple words in it? [16:34] [THC]AcidRain, uh... that i don't know. [16:34] <[THC]AcidRain> mount: /dev/sdc1 already mounted or /media/Server2 busy.mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdc1 is already mounted on /media/Server2 [16:34] What are some possible reasons Terminal wouldn't recognize "workon" and "lsvirtualenv"? [16:34] <[THC]AcidRain> that is an error i get when i click on it under "Places" [16:34] "Command not found" [16:34] ok what type of archive is it [16:34] <[THC]AcidRain> if i click on the other option under "Places" it actually opens the drive to be browsed [16:34] Terminal says virtualenvwrapper is installed, but it's not playing nice :( [16:34] @luc__ ok what type of archive is it [16:34] how can I revert to a older firefox? [16:35] I can't play Quake Live, not compatible with firefox 6 [16:35] it IS compatible with firefox 3, though, possibly 4 or 5 [16:35] IdleOne, use quotes around the words, apt-cache search "firstword secondword" [16:35] <[THC]AcidRain> Calinou, in synaptic package manager, you get the option to rollback [16:35] knobydobs, doesnt say but the nvidia file looks like paper with writting onit [16:35] okay, thanks [16:36] IdleOne, but it may be more efficient to do something like : apt-cache search firstword | grep secondword [16:36] bassliner: I'm not sure, but the other getty processes are started from /etc/init/ttyX - so maybe you can create your own for ttyS0 ? [16:36] @luc__ what happens when you double click it? [16:36] xtcv: Sorry, how did i confuse you? [16:37] I am trying to install Ubuntu on my macbook pro 4,1 [16:37] and everything seems to be working but sound [16:37] oCean: thanks! [16:37] can someone help? [16:37] How do you remove Banshee from the sound applet in 11.04? [16:37] luc_ what happens when you double click it? [16:38] knobydobs: using @ infront of a nick usually prevents it from highlighting that person [16:38] glebihan: trying apt-cache search xchat | grep irc and nothing returns.

Thanks in advance [16:38] IdleOne, apt-cache search xchat | grep -i irc [16:38] luc_ run in terminal [16:39] Macbook 4,1 + Ubuntu 10.10 = No Sound... [16:39] glebihan: thank you. [16:39] IdleOne, that'll be case-insensitive, though I'm not sure why you would make such a search [16:39] someone please help! [16:39] knobydobs, nothing happens [16:40] glebihan: I used xchat and irc as a test because I know xchat exists as a package [16:40] luc_ not even a terminal window? [16:40] no [16:40] IdleOne, ok :) I get it [16:42] Macbook 4,1 + Ubuntu 10.10 = No Sound... [16:42] someone please help! [16:42] luc_ have you enabled it to be run as program [16:42] am i in the wrong forum ?

But I wanted to change that and installed GRUB2. Problem: Windows doesn't boot anymore. The Ultimate Recovery CD informed me that... [17:19] <[THC]AcidRain> line 4: use: command not found. line 4: use warnings; [17:19] ...the Windows system partition was set „hidden“ somehow. Allright, easy to change but it still does not boot (it reports error 0xc000000e - Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible."

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu . /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [17:45] anyone using libre office?

[17:51] as long as I can remove window ornaments and -OMG HAVE AN APP MENU AT A RIGHT CLICK- I would be delighted [17:52] anyway - thanks for bearing with me for my rant [17:52] urlin2u, odd, because there are loads of language packs for libreoffice, perhaps they are adding more gradually [17:52] silverarrow, here is the OO link you might try this first. http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries#Norwegian_.28Norway.29 [17:52] im reading that latest NVIDIA drivers on the nvidia website for my mx440 now support xorg 1.10, is this in the repos [17:53] how to reset audio in ubuntu ?

[17:54] I'm using Lubuntu 11.04 (lxde/openbox) with pulseaudio and pavucontrol, is there an easy way to lower the volume of just the Firefox application running? Firefox doesn't show up in the pavucontrol dialog. [17:54] urlin2u, thanks I am on to it :- ) === denny- is now known as denn7y === denn7y is now known as denny [17:55] luc_: it should be under the menu as restriced drivers (or something similar) [17:55] silverarrow: yeah, alsa mixer === LjL-Temp is now known as Guest25621 [17:55] ThinkT510, it says it is installed but no sound [17:56] luc_: sound? i thought you were trying to install a graphics driver? [17:56] Phase: because firefox is not a player, you want to mute plugins like flash or mplayer [17:56] rabbi1, alsa mixer has worked for me, when audio was very bad, noisy, and when stuff was muted for no apparent reason [17:56] ThinkT510, no sound doesnt work [17:57] silverarrow: ok. what do i got to do now ?

It seems like it stopped working avfter one or several browser updates, whereafter Opera was assigned the role as ftp-client. [17:58] rabbi1, what is the issue? I don't know if there are any actual default setting option [18:00] ThinkT510, i had a generic driver installed before [18:00] silverarrow: i am using chat app, browser (movie), and rhythmbox, - sometimes works well. say i am watching a movie in browser, and in the mean time a user logsout from my chat client, a sound pops up, that time the browser stops the audio. [18:01] silverarrow: if my music player works and i start watching movie in browser, the audio doesn't come in browser, even though i stop my music player [18:01] :( [18:01] rabbi1, I see, a bit advance issue, but should be handled [18:01] Removing Opera only moved the problem, and now Firefox is set as FTP-client. It doesn't seems like any of the old tricks works, or rather I can't get it to work. [18:02] rabbi1, pidgin, xchat? [18:02] jeblad, what are you trying to do? [18:02] silverarrow: pidgin === devonjones_ is now known as marketing-git [18:03] I want to use Nautilus as default FTP-client [18:03] Somehow it stopped working [18:03] rabbi1, I haven't tried any addons, or plugins yet, I have pidgin too [18:03] jeblad: http://superuser.com/questions/72738/open-ftp-links-with-nautilus [18:04] Whe n I define a new site it works, but when I click on any previously defined site using ftp-protocol it goes to a browser [18:04] nothing to do with addon, or plugin i guess. see for e.g. now i am watching a movie in browser, and if the movie stops or if i have to listen to music from rhythmbox, i am unable to, because the audio is taken over by browser. I got to close the browser and then music player works [18:04] rabbi1, maybe alsa mixer will have no effect on the issue, maybe the guys in the #pidgin channel might know about it [18:04] ThinkT510, the driver is activated but notcurrently in use === epzil0n is now known as Guest90065 [18:05] silverarrow: not pidgin problem, its on the priority. its with which app is accessing alsa [18:05] for that moment [18:05] How do I boot from a RAID1 root using the install media? The server install just failed to install grub and I need to boot my newly installed machine [18:05] now if i close browser then the music player works well [18:06] rabbi1, oh I see, I thought there might be some issue with addons, in pidgin there are loptions for showing all kinds of stuff in chat client [18:06] jeblad, sec i might have it [18:06] "You have searched for files named jitsi in suite natty, all sections, and all architectures. Sorry, your search gave no results." Is it true that Ubuntu does not provide the Jitsi VoiP client? [18:06] silverarrow: it's not with the chat client only. any apps for that matter [18:06] rabbi1: select to mute sounds in pidgin [18:06] ActionParsnip: The entry should be named ftp? [18:06] hey can anyone help me up with the headphones problem? i'm using 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) and 01:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc RV710/730 [18:07] Its missing... [18:07] rabbi1, let me start alsa mxier [18:07] ActionParsnip: that's the pidgin issue. it works fine now. [18:07] jeblad, http://radu.cotescu.com/how-to-set-nautilus-as-default-ftp-application/ [18:07] silverarrow: i would like to know how the priority is given to apps by alsa ? [18:08] ActionParsnip: that's not the pidgin issue ** === devonjones_ is now known as marketing-git [18:08] Is it possible to connect a pc to a wifi connection via a bluetooth adapter? [18:08] thunsucker: I tried that one, didn't work.. [18:09] jeblad, did you make the ftp folder and then place a %gconf.xml inside of it then reboot? [18:09] Cyrax5: wifi is not on the same frequency as bluetooth [18:09] Cyrax5: no [18:09] Dang. Thanks. [18:10] thunsucker: Yes [18:10] say: play something in rhythmbox, then open a browser - watch movie. it doesn't play sound -> then stop rhythmbox, still browser won't play audio, -> now refresh the browser and play some movie, the audio is back on the browser. Can't I have both play to gether, or can't i make audio to be heard with out closing the previous apps ? [18:10] rabbi1, that was a tricky one, [18:11] ActionParsnip, still no sound :( [18:11] jeblad, go back to the url I posted, and look for EFZ's comment [18:11] Running gconf-editor as myself I find it, running as root I don't. Probably the correct behaviour. [18:11] what does 'fix released' on Launchpad mean, for a bug [18:11] jeblad, sudo vi /etc/gnome/defaults.list [18:12] jeblad, add: x-scheme-handler/ftp=nautilus-folder-handler.desktop , no need to reboot [18:12] Anyhow, the places menu still opens the ftp-locations in browsers [18:12] thunsucker: i'd avoid recomending vi unless they are advanced [18:12] say: play something in rhythmbox, then open a browser - watch movie. it doesn't play sound -> then stop rhythmbox, still browser won't play audio, -> now refresh the browser and play some movie, the audio is back on the browser. Can't I have both play to gether, or can't i make audio to be heard with out closing the previous apps ? [18:13] jeblad, also sudo gedit ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list [18:13] Ok, I'll try that... I want to kill someone at Opera for fucking with my computer.. :( [18:13] jeblad, make sure this is updated: x-scheme-handler/ftp=nautilus; [18:13] !language | jeblad [18:13] jeblad: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [18:14] jeblad: gksudo gedit ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list [18:14] ThinkT510, good thinking, i think typing "sudo vi" is hard programmed into me now lol [18:14] some head up in which vpn software to install on my ubuntu server? [18:14] thunsucker: no worries, i'm not that advanced myself (nano suit me best) [18:14] BiKER-JENS, you want to lean towards security or it being easy [18:14] I want to be ablo to very politly and carefully stomp someone by elephants aat Opera [18:14] silverarrow: did you try that? r u ? [18:14] Now, editing.. [18:15] ThinkT510, vi makes me angry at times but it's an old friend now don't think I'll ever be able to change [18:15] thunsucker, have been buidling vpn on m$ platform for years, know the dirrent protocolss [18:15] "just" need a good ubuntu ready vpn deamon [18:16] and if it's easy to setup I would be nice also [18:16] guys, got an issue---------- say: play something in rhythmbox, then open a browser - watch movie. it doesn't play sound -> then stop rhythmbox, still browser won't play audio, -> now refresh the browser and play some movie, the audio is back on the browser. Can't I have both play to gether, or can't i make audio to be heard with out closing the previous apps ? [18:16] BiKER-JENS, okay so that answered my question, you need easy [18:16] yeah :-) [18:16] BiKER-JENS, pptpd [18:16] "You have searched for files named jitsi in suite natty, all sections, and all architectures. Sorry, your search gave no results." Is it true that Ubuntu does not provide the Jitsi VoiP client? [18:16] bullgard4: have you installed it ? [18:17] okay thanks... thunsucker I will try it :-) [18:17] bullgard4: have you looked in the repos ? [18:17] thought I was to use Hamachi or openvpn [18:17] BiKER-JENS, awesome :p and if you want something more advanced, openvpn :) [18:17] !find jitsi | bullgard4 [18:17] bullgard4: Package/file jitsi does not exist in natty [18:17] bullgard4: seems so [18:18] is there a channel for alsa ? and rhythmbox ? [18:18] ThinkT510: Thank you very much for your help. [18:18] bullgard4: no worries :) [18:18] thunsucker think I will try openVPN then, have make sure it will run macX and windows [18:19] rabbi1, sorry, I seem to be not good with this. Have you asked any of the guys in #alsa channel? there might be someone clever with audio issues ? [18:19] and they have a client for both platforms without I have to wirte 20 diffrents guides :D [18:19] thanks [18:19] bullgard4: http://jitsi.org/index.php/Main/DebianRepository [18:19] BiKER-JENS, good thinking :P [18:19] silverarrow: sure, will get there, and channel for rhythmbox ? [18:20] bullgard4: that is from the ubuntu link in the downloads page on their site [18:20] thunsucker: Ha! It worked! You will get cookies from me if you ever visits my websites, and that is for free! [18:20] I have a question installing xubuntu 11.04 (graphical installation) using one SSD as / (root) and two HDDs for /home...any chance I can make a RAID 1 at the beginning during partioning? [18:20] thunsucker, setting up linux based servers Is quitly more dif. as windows :D [18:21] I'm MCITP windows server whore :D [18:21] hehe [18:21] whatever01: as in software raid ? [18:21] ThinkT510: Excellent! Thank you again for your help. [18:21] sorry guys [18:21] jeblad, awesome! [18:21] ikonia: yes [18:21] bullgard4: np, hope it works for you [18:21] whatever01: you'd need to use the alternative installer I believe [18:21] BiKER-JENS, they both have their ups and downs [18:21] ikonia: I was afraid you would say that :) [18:22] BiKER-JENS, i work on windows servers all day long but run ubuntu on my home machine and work laptops and etc. [18:22] ThinkT510: It did in the past, but under an older Ubuntu version. [18:22] thunsucker: I think it was due to a popupdialog in Opera and then I was stuck. There will probably be more people with the same problem. [18:22] BiKER-JENS, today my win7 laptop install died after visiting a public site lol [18:22] ikonia: will try with the alternate one then, thanks [18:22] haha [18:23] I'm thinking about changing out all my gear tli Apple [18:23] to* [18:23] BiKER-JENS, do you like to centrally manage your gear or have each be their own entity? [18:23] central -) [18:24] BiKER-JENS, if you work on windows stuff, good luck changing subnets with a mac on a daily basis (moving from one vlan to another) [18:24] BiKER-JENS, your mac will not play nicely with release/renew [18:24] hehe [18:24] BiKER-JENS, then once it renew's it's ip, it won't be able to route lol [18:25] hehe nice [18:25] less work ;) [18:25] lol [18:25] dont like work [18:25] rabbi1, I found a rhythmbox irc cannel on server: irc.gnome.org [18:25] more fun less work :D [18:25] silverarrow: i am checking out :) thank you for the info [18:26] silverarrow: how can i find channels on different server ? [18:26] Another annoying thing; If you have two Nautiluswindows open and window B has a modal dialog (typically asking for a password) and you try to scroll window A, then the scroll-handle will disapear when you point on it. Its like it says "hey, you want to click on me? catch me if you can!" === devonjones_ is now known as knewton-techbot [18:28] rabbi1, in pidgin you go to "manage accounts" then "add" then "irc" then fill in irc.gnome.org. [18:29] What’s the overall diskusage for a normal ubuntu desktop system? (every thing in /) [18:29] but /home seperately… [18:30] filePeter: I would count in about 10 GByte at least [18:30] silverarrow: sorry, i am aware of that, but how will i know Channel A is in Server B, coz i might only search in Server A which i already have... is there any way so that i can search for a particular channel in many server at once ? or should i add all the server to my client and then check ? [18:30] #vim [18:30] filePeter: if you are lucky its a bit less, but more likely more [18:30] filePeter: 4-6gb, i usually give a 10gb partition [18:31] rabbi1, hmm, good question, I am in xchat lol, wait I shall login in pidgin [18:31] ThinkT510: I thought that was about two or three versions ago...I got the feeling it started to bloat up a little [18:32] whatever01: i tend to use xubuntu, so it might be smaller than ubuntu [18:32] whatever01, ThinkT510: Great, that’ll be just fine to fit next to this 35GiG (!!!!) Win7 install on a thinkpad for my client… [18:33] ThinkT510: yes, xubuntu uses less, so you are surely right...but he asked ubuntu (gnome) so that is why I was surprised by your number [18:33] filePeter: thinkpads are indeed a good choice (but hey, i'm biased) [18:33] bbl...need to takre a nap [18:33] ThinkT510 and filePeter: I second that :)...just ordered my x220 ;) [18:34] ThinkT510: Haha, yeah… But gosh, 35GiG is just HUGE on this ssd of 80GiG… [18:34] ThinkT510: Can I delete this recovery partition without any problems? It annoys me… [18:35] filePeter: you can reduce that 35GB by disabling restore points and deleting them [18:35] filePeter: if you know you are never going to use it, then yeah [18:35] silverarrow1: i see you left all the rooms :) [18:36] filePeter: if you have a windows install disk then it's fine [18:36] Hello im having trouble whit a bash script [18:36] hello [18:36] ThinkT510: Don’t have that… But Windows is not going to be used either… (hoping…) [18:36] filePeter: isnt there a way to backup that recovery partition? [18:36] mneptok: Wow, great. Thanks! [18:36] hello im having trouble whit a bash script i wanna code, [18:37] rabbi1: you figured it out? if you choose "buddies" then "join chat" then you should be able to choose server from a shroll type listing, and then either fill in "channel" or "list channels" [18:37] Richiie: #bash [18:37] whatever01: Certainly… But win is not going to be used, so no worries… [18:37] filePeter: in this case...indeed, no worries [18:37] rabbi1: yes pidgin now :- ) [18:38] im doing a mysqldump bash script, and all i wanna do is cat file.sql | tr "," "\n" > file.txt [18:38] how can i do that ? in a bash script i dont know how to implement it [18:38] filePeter: I am just thinking in terms of support...sometimes supports wants to have the original OS on itt [18:38] i know i can use sed also but how do i implement this ? [18:38] whatever01: What if I just kill the restore points, like mneptok suggested? [18:39] Richiie: you may get a better answer in #bash [18:39] silverarrow1: i guess i am unable to put it across properly, :) i know how to add a server and add a channel for that server after searching, but how will i know that channel A is available in server A and not in B.. [18:39] It seems the natty install is defaulting to creating GPT instead of MBR partition tables and grub doesn't like it. Is there a way to force the server install to create an MBR partition table? [18:39] filePeter: well, I do not know...it might be an alternative... [18:41] whatever01: Anyhow… Thank you… I just kill that damn thing… ;-p [18:41] rabbi1, I am a bit slow today. I'm not shore really, for example all the channels in the ubuntu server seems to be redirected to freenode when loggin on. However for gerneral irc server/channels lists I use google, seems to be the quickest [18:42] ThinkT510: Okay thanks. [18:42] filePeter: good luck :) [18:42] silverarrow1: irc.ubuntu.com is just a pointer to chat.freenode.net. There is no separate Ubuntu IRC server. [18:42] silverarrow1: that's the only option left for quick search, and you are lucky if you get it... ;) [18:42] whatever01: Hehe, thx… ;-p [18:43] rww: I see, that would explain it [18:44] idk how I am online when ubuntu does not recognize my lan card, can I make it recognize the lan card? [18:45] rabbi1: yes a bit of luck seems to be needed. The sites that list channels, are often way to cumbersome to maneuver [18:46] google can come with channel and server list options. this will help developers a lot [18:46] !ot [18:46] #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! [18:48] Ok, so I basically need to disable avahi-daemon because it's playing havoc with my company's intranet. Whats it gonna hurt if I simply 'aptitude remove avahi-daemon'? [18:49] how can I make ubuntu recognize my network adaptor [18:50] Hey, how do I use dd to move a .iso to a usb drive? [18:51] when a script is run by inid.d at startup does the process executes as a root user? [18:52] executionist: have you tried in terminal: nm-list ? [18:52] ScatterBrain, a lot of packages depend on avahi-daemon, so this is likely to break your system [18:52] !upstart | rDx3 [18:52] silverarrow1, command not found [18:52] rDx3: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [18:52] hey [18:53] anyone can recommend some g+ app for ubuntu? [18:53] executionist: not found? it should list something [18:53] it says 'command not found' [18:54] glebihan: But I don't understand it's purpose, other than making FQDN like 'server.foo.local' not respond. [18:54] executionist: sorry, command : nm-tool [18:54] executionist: my error [18:54] glebihan: there's a lot of things in our network that rely on the '.local' suffix. [18:54] sandking: there are none. There is no g+ api yet. [18:54] Hey, how do I use dd to move a .iso to a usb drive? [18:55] i see the device there, eth0 [18:55] ScatterBrain, honestly, I don't know much about avahi-daemon and what it does, but looking at packages depending on it, I would really not recommend trying to remove it [18:55] Pici, thx for answer === sins-- is now known as sins- [18:55] silverarrow1, I see a device there eth0, idk why wireshark tells me there are no network interface's === Guest25621 is now known as LjL-Temp [18:56] glebihan: I stopped when I saw the dependancies too. :) === LjL-Temp is now known as Guest41652 [18:56] executionist: there is a trouble shooting guide on this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide I'm not that good with terminal really [18:56] ubottu: ok so I have to rewrite it or the scripts that are in the init.d dir still work? [18:56] rDx3: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:56] :) [18:56] ok sorry [18:57] silverarrow1, will see if I find something useful there [18:57] rDx3, scripts in /etc/init.d are still handled by upstart [18:57] executionist: I can try, do you get any info on your card ? Ubuntu is usually very good with detecting wireless cards [18:58] gelbihan: ok thanks [18:58] silverarrow1, its not a wireless card, its wired. Broadcom netextreme 57xx [18:58] !broadcom [18:58] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [18:58] rDx3, and to answer your initial question, init scripts are run as root (though some of them may launch daemons running as other useres) [18:58] gelbihan: is there a way to find why a script thet works in terminal mode with the start command doesn't work at boot tinme? [18:59] gelbihan: my script is just running thin === prakas1 is now known as prakas [18:59] So can anyone else tell my how I can safely disable avahi-daemon? [18:59] rDx3, so your script is in /etc/init.d [18:59] ? [19:00] glebihan: yes [19:00] executionist: what does this give? ifconfig -a | grep eth [19:00] rDx3, did you create the necessary links in /etc/rc*.d ? [19:00] <^Mike\b> I have a removable disk that gets mounted automatically at /media/$label when I attach it. I want it to be mounted elsewhere instead, and I want any user to be able to (un)mount it. What do I need to put in /etc/fstab to make that happen? [19:00] gelbihan: you mean /usr/sbin/update-rc.d -f thin defaults? [19:00] very clever urlin2u ;- ) [19:01] silverarrow1, eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:11:43:ac:ed:2a [19:01] the thin install should create the sl [19:01] executionist: hmm, not completely identified [19:01] hi. is there a way to just download the .deb files (instead of installing the package) with apt-get?

[19:03] executionist: try lspci -vvnn | grep 14e4 [19:03] rDx3, did you check that the symlinks were created ?

I want it to be mounted elsewhere instead, and I want any user to be able to (un)mount it. I thought the mount options noauto,user would be sufficient in fstab, but apparently not. How can I accomplish this? [19:06] executionist: a bit better [19:06] gelbihan: in etc rc I have many rc1.d to rc6.d [19:07] gelbihan: will open all of them...

[19:11] mbeierl: sounds like you need to lock down SSH [19:12] mbeierl: check /var/log/auth.log to see if anyone is ssh-ing in [19:12] yeats: but the question is... how are they getting in there. Nope. I can't see anything there. This script put a cron entry in: */5 * * * * /var/tmp/.tmp/.Driver/driver.cron > /dev/null 2>&1 [19:13] gelbihan: nope … tried netstat -antp to see if thin was listening...

[19:31] scoobaru, there is a proper way to fix it, i think somewehre you can set the default path for a command [19:31] mbeierl: do an nmap against your server to see which ports are open and adjust your firewall accordingly [19:31] mikigirl, Synaptic Package Manager [19:31] mbeierl: you could also disable password login with SSH and just use ssh keys (since you said that was a vulnerablity before) [19:31] yeats: already done. nothing that should not be there [19:32] thunsucker, It's okay this is just an ubuntu vm I'm playing with. It was weird though because /usr/local/bin/vim did actually exist but when I tried to run it it said it didn't exist. I had to delete it and then create the symlink [19:32] Jordan_U: pastebin ? [19:32] mbeierl: that's about all the advice *I* have - maybe someone else in the channel has some ideas [19:32] How do I find a list of running programs? [19:32] scoobaru, might have been another bad symlink [19:32] Pretty stupid that Ubuntu doesn't include the full vim [19:32] yeats: no, it was an ssh key that was put in place by something that allowed the first bot to be installed.

[20:13] ^Mike\b, [20:13] ^Mike\b, just a minute... [20:13] ^Mike\b, Stopping MySQL database server: mysqld. [20:14] ^Mike\b, Stopping MySQL database server: mysqld. [20:14] <^Mike\b> McQueen: put it in a pastebin please [20:14] ok [20:14] <^Mike\b> McQueen: http://p.defau.lt [20:15] ^Mike\b, http://p.defau.lt/?3MIiH3v2_gFqox78O_Ux3A [20:16] <^Mike\b> McQueen: okay, now show me your mysql error logs [20:16] After booting from the usb, i got this error - mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed : Invalid argument , Can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on /filesystem.squashfs [20:16] ^Mike\b, i am newbie... where can find it? [20:16] when downloading ubuntu it says 32-bit is recommended.. even on 64 bit systems? [20:17] <^Mike\b> McQueen: Also, you probably can't start mysqld as any user other than root or mysql. Try `sudo service mysql restart` [20:17] zastaph, it's recommended if you don't know what you have, since it'll work on either. But if you know you have 64, go ahead and download that. [20:17] <^Mike\b> McQueen: /var/log/mysql/error.log [20:17] zastaph: 32-bit is just recommended since it will work on 32- or 64-bit platforms, whereas the 64-bit will not work on a 32-bit platform. [20:18] lion42 im going to run it in virtualbox, as desktop OS .. and probably wont dedicate more than 4GB to it.. which do you think will perform better? [20:18] I have VT-x [20:18] ^Mike\b, i am root [20:18] zastaph, I have no idea, sorry. [20:18] <^Mike\b> McQueen: Okay, I misread it then. Carry on :) [20:18] I just ran a preinstalled VM (Ubuntu 32 bit) and it ran about 4 times faster (fps wise) than Debian [20:19] zastaph, on a virtualbox, unless you really need 64bits, I'd recommend 32 [20:19] glebihan, because it performs better or? [20:19] ^Mike\b, thanks [20:19] ^Mike\b, i have to change my place... [20:20] ^Mike\b, BRB [20:20] zastaph, performance doesn't differ much, but there might be some issues with 64bits support on a VM [20:20] zastaph: If you're on a 64-bit system and your host is 64-bit, I'd got for a 64-bit guest. There's some performance benefits from 64-bit although there may be some incompatibilities with 32-bit programs, although they're not all that common as far as I'm aware. [20:20] cam you 2 duke it out and tell me the results? :) [20:22] zastaph: I've had no issues running either 32 or 64 bit virtualbox VMs on a 64-bit guest - I think the takeway would be "try it and see" ;-) [20:22] yeats, did you try debian in virtualbox? i was amazed how sluggish it runs compared to Ubuntu which I just ran [20:22] Q: I try to connect airport express to ubuntu 11.04. In manager i see 2 sinks for 1 airport express. When i select a sink a play music, the music will not play, it keep trying the first second. Anybody a idea?? [20:22] I don't have access to the GUI, is there a way I can set up VNC (remote desktop) via command line? [20:23] i agree with yeats. its more of a trial and error and flavor thing as to which runs more effectively [20:25] my lolbuntu system with xfce de is slow to yhe brink of [20:25] zastaph, to be honest, each time somebody comes in here asking whether he should choose 32bits or 64, there is about a 50/50 repartition on opinions... with usually not many arguments either way, so I'll go along with the latest advices and say : try it and see :) [20:25] unusability, trouibleshoot? [20:25] yeats : do you have a prefered processor type (intel/amd) you use for ubuntu? [20:25] dgfger: Why not use ubuntu? [20:26] glebihan, here's how to resolve the debate for 99% of users: if you don't have a high-end computer, you probably wont notice if you use 32 either way. the end. [20:26] fine, ill trial and error myself :) [20:27] lion42, agreed [20:27] zastaph : remember there are no 2 computers that run the exact same. 11.04 32 or 64 will run differently on each machine. [20:27] which image should i use, to install ubuntu via hdd via grub4dos or easybcd, Netboot or hdmedia or cdrom .. should i try the alternate installation??? [20:27] not funny [20:28] if anyone has less than 4gb ram then 32bit is just fine [20:29] hrmm, anyone wanna sort me out ...

[22:14] it asks for a password even though I'm trying to log in with ssh -i privatekey.pem [22:14] brokemyubuntu: if the key can't be validated use the account password, rather than the key [22:14] ikonia, if the host record is messed up for some reason yes [22:14] Jikan, hmm could it be because I disabled the ati/amd driver cause it was showing a warning at the bottom of the screen [22:15] thunsucker: why would the host record be messed up, he's just said the issue [22:15] crash1hd: "aptitude search unity" is to be typed in a terminal, but the results will be the same as you'll find in synaptic when typing unity in the search bar [22:15] thunsucker: the error isn't an incorrect host one, [22:15] crash1hd: possible if you don't have unity-2d installed [22:15] ubuntu server running on amazon, private key is required, can't log in using password [22:15] Jikan, right unity-2d was not installed [22:15] ikonia, he said he couldn't ssh, in doing troubleshooting it's possible that he messed it up [22:15] *sigh* this is why i don't like 'free' software.. you get what you pay for [22:15] Jikan, going to try the custom ati driver again to see if that was what it was [22:15] thunsucker: randomly removing files isn't trouble shooting [22:16] or: linux is only free if your time has no value [22:16] help how to install pdf2swf ??? HELP SOS [22:16] ikonia, thinking you know everything doesn't make you smart [22:16] thunsucker: I'm not silly enough to start randomly removing files [22:16] if you have no compatible driver, unity should fallback to 2D mode given you have a working install of unity-2D [22:16] ikonia, think about it, he imported the key incorrectly and could have messed up his ssh host record, it won't hurt anything if he removes it [22:17] thunsucker: importing the key doesn't touch known_hosts [22:17] ikonia, also this is an open chat room, people are allow to post suggestions [22:17] Jikan, right I am sure the driver is compatable it just shows this box in the corner (I dont recall what it says atm) but I will find out in a min :) [22:17] thunsucker: yes, and I'm just informing you that randomly removing that file is not useful [22:17] SOS? [22:17] ikonia, randomly removing of a file is not what i suggested, i offered something that might help, whether you think it will or not [22:18] phoenixsampras: Save Our Systems [22:18] removed .ssh/known_hosts.. didn't help [22:18] okay [22:18] thunsucker: so I asked "how would removing the known hosts file help" [22:18] i'm in the 'keyboard shortcuts' dialog for gnome-terminal, i want to set one of the shortcuts to 'disabled' but when i double click on the item it just asks me to press the new key. what do i press to set 'disabled'? [22:18] ikonia, and i answered, learn to read, learn respect, and then logoff [22:18] Is there a gnome ubuntu cleanup tool (that looks for old unused drivers and tells you they are not being used to allow you to remove them [22:18] !topic | ikonia [22:18] ikonia: Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information. To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic [22:19] I can still ssh to other boxes [22:19] thunsucker: drop teh attitude, if you can't help people properly, don't, randomly removing files with no reason is not helpful [22:19] thunsucker, you're being very disrespectful. ikonia is just trying to help: this is not a stage for your opinions alone. [22:19] help how to install pdf2swf ??? <<< HELP pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee [22:19] lion42, it's not a stage for his opinions alone [22:19] thunsucker: when you are offering help that can cause problems, - it is [22:20] kunwon1: just highlight the shortcut you want to modify and erase what's written [22:20] I appreciate all suggestions [22:20] lion42, i made a suggestion, it didn't work, but i still have the right to make suggestions [22:20] like select all ⇒ backspace [22:20] phoenixsampras, do you mean pdf2svg? [22:20] thunsucker, that's true. And then you'll be corrected when you're wrong. [22:20] Jikan: awesome! that worked. thanks! [22:20] zykotick9: no, there is a tools to convert PDF to SWF [22:20] you're welcome ^^ [22:20] http://flexpaper.devaldi.com/docs_php.jsp [22:20] !assfucker | ikonia [22:20] enough now, thunsucker please put a little thought into suggestion [22:20] !assfucker | lion2 [22:20] thunsucker: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:21] Or that. [22:21] moderating this channel must be a chore [22:21] shoot, i think I know what happenned. when trying to delete the ~ file that I created, could I have deleted the ~ directory? i.e. the root user directory? [22:21] kunwon1, agreed. Thank you all OPs :) [22:21] brokemyubuntu: that makes sense [22:21] brokemyubuntu: contacting amazon and asking them to put the key file back is the quickest way [22:22] brokemyubuntu, ~ is the user home directory, unless you where using sudo or logged in as root [22:22] If there is a server running an old version of Ubuntu, is there a place where the security vulnerabilities are listed? [22:22] Upgrading is impossible, so I need to know where the vulnterabilities are. [22:22] ok [22:22] Aeth: you need to look at CERN reports [22:23] how to install SWFTOOLS ? [22:23] I think I can just mount the EBS volume to another instance and copy the file back. [22:23] brokemyubuntu: if that works, superb [22:23] thanks, I'll give that a try. [22:23] phoenixsampras, looks like you'll have to compile from source http://www.swftools.org/ or search if it's in a PPA [22:25] ikonia: cern reports?

[23:37] okay [23:37] can you pastebin the last 50 lines from your dmesg Autoclesis? [23:37] because I don't think I've ever seen stuff like that in my dmesg, so I'm confused [23:38] bacar, whats the real question, please be clear [23:38] Let me mess with it. [23:38] guess nobody can fix my ubuntu login screen issue. :p [23:38] Thanks W3ird_N3rd and Zhoom [23:38] :0 [23:38] ok. [23:38] it sounds more like windows [23:38] bye [23:39] not sure though, not plugged USB mass storage in windows boxes for a while [23:39] if you don't know what OS you are running, please get off the computer and go sleep. [23:39] Zhoom, are you talking to me? [23:39] no. [23:39] I just don't remember seeing text like that in dmesg [23:39] If I was talking to you, I would of said your name. [23:40] so I'm wondering what he was using [23:40] he probably doesn't even know what OS he's running. [23:40] :| === terahertz is now known as Guest59619 [23:41] Zhoom, it looks like it is something from Linux.. http://www.hackorama.com/pages/usb.shtml shows similar. But my Ubuntu doesn't show things like that [23:41] haha, I royally screwed myself...my nvidia video card failed so I installed an ati one but cannot get it to boot even to a terminal no matter what I do.... [23:41] anyone got any ideas? [23:42] chase, what does it do? [23:42] tried xforcevesa, single user mode....recovery mode.... [23:42] after grub loads the monitor stops recognizing a signal [23:42] ctrl+alt+f1? [23:43] does anyone know what file firefox keeps it's cached passwords in? [23:43] stephen123: #firefox [23:43] nice ta [23:43] Why Ubuntu sucks: No one can upgrade the software without an administrator password, so Ubuntu desktops in businesses end up with outdated web browsers. [23:43] eTroll, wrong channel, really [23:44] Because no business is paying someone to go in and upgrade the software. [23:44] automatic updates? [23:44] bazhang: Prove me wrong. [23:44] ^ [23:44] there's auto updates. [23:44] photon: Never enabled on any Ubuntu system in the field. [23:44] there are no ops here to kick trolls, are there? [23:44] eTroll: please talk about something you know about, instead of talking nonsense [23:44] eTroll, wrong place for nonsense, try #ubuntu-offtopic [23:44] who wouldn't have sudo on their own workstation ?! [23:44] bazhang: nonsense isn't welcome in #ubuntu-offtopic [23:44] eTroll: that's not our problem. [23:44] eTroll: do you have a support question to do with ubuntu ? [23:44] probably not. [23:45] eTroll: and if they used a configuration management application like puppet (like LOADS do) [23:45] they could centrally deploy packages [23:45] yo, just forget about it. [23:45] stephenh, don't feed the troll [23:45] don't feed the etroll. [23:45] simples. [23:45] ikonia: How to get http://www.madonnashots.com/mo7912.jpg to print for perverse purposes involving heavy breathing and licking. [23:45] not feeding him will make him starve, and eventually die. :P [23:45] W3ird_N3rd: i suppose, but he was trolling for someothing that he thought wasn't answerable :) [23:46] stephenh: They don't. [23:46] stephenh, never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. [23:46] what is libexec? [23:46] W3ird_N3rd: i have lots of experience :p [23:46] * stephenh used to be one of them [23:46] stephenh, not at that level (I hope) [23:47] but to be fair, it should be in off topic as it has no relevence to this channel's purpose [23:47] gah, I really dont want to have to reinstall ubuntu just to get my graphics working [23:47] no answer in #firefox :\ [23:47] really need that cached password from my work pc [23:47] chase, did you try ctrl+alt+f1? [23:47] yes, didn't work [23:48] chase, can you boot some rescue cd? [23:48] what is libexec? (a directory) [23:48] I could burn a live cd, yeah. [23:48] nm, got my answer :) [23:48] what would I be able to do from a live cd? [23:48] is it some ubuntu proprietary extension? [23:49] chase, if you can boot a rescue cd (best to make a CDRW, these things outdate far too quick) (or USB) you can look at /etc/grub/default [23:49] since your screen goes black right after grub, there's probably some funky stuff in your kernel bootline [23:49] I can edit grub. It boots to grub, just the second I pick any option, even single user made or xforcevesa, I lose a signal. [23:49] if there is and you remove it, run update-grub [23:50] hmm oh wait for that you need the system to actually run (or chroot) [23:50] you can boot grub with a custom line [23:50] there perhaps you can remove whatever is messing things up [23:52] booting some alternative media you could blacklist nvidia, but I don't know if that would work [23:52] recover mode worked if I removed $linux_gfx_mode from it [23:52] odd [23:54] chase, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/685611 ? [23:54] Launchpad bug 685611 in linux (Ubuntu) "[Natty] Booting fails because of GRUB setting "set gfxpayload=$linux_gfx_mode"" [Undecided,Expired] [23:56] is there a command to see dependantr libraries for some file? [23:56] chase, looks like you should post that thread, maybe that'll reactivate it [23:57] will do that in a sec [23:58] seeing if I can boot with xforcevesa with that line removed......looks like the answer is no, only works for single user mode. [23:58] sdasdas: ldd? === Guest24395 is now known as LjL-Temp [23:59] sdasdas: have you given that a shot? [23:59] yes, that's what was needed === LjL-Temp is now known as Guest14869
