[00:00] Jordan_u do you know if it is possible to do a complete reinstall from the shell? [00:00] I got VMWare Fusion [00:00] And booted Windows in it [00:00] mamece2: I see, so you were incorrect about the 6gb? You need to free up some space [00:00] hello all [00:00] where do I discuss oneiric? [00:00] orangey: #ubuntu+1 [00:00] ChogyDan: mountall:disconnetec form plymouth [00:00] Then in Windows, I installed an openSUSE VM and ran it [00:00] MonkeyDust: thanks! [00:01] ChogyDan: i cant even find the .trash folder... im so upset.. [00:01] So I was running openSUSE in Windows VM in Mac VM [00:01] got a strange problem on 10.04LTS where a static IP is set on a server, but after a while it reverts back to DHCP... any ideas? [00:01] !trash | mamece2 [00:01] mamece2: Your GUI file manager's Trash folder is located at ~/.local/share/Trash/ for files moved to trash from your hard disk and .../.Trash-userid/ on external devices for files moved to trash from the device. [00:01] djskidd: you might want to investigate #ubuntu-offtopic, it's more for chat that #ubuntu (which is for support only) ;) [00:01] ChogyDan: its not there [00:01] I'm having a problem with the open source radeon driver in 11.04. It works ok for my user, but if I add a second user the system is pretty much unusable. Super video lag + ghost images everywhere using Ubuntu Classic. [00:01] /list [00:01] ChogyDan: if i run gpart it says 5.86 GB free... WTF? [00:01] /partall [00:02] /PARTALL [00:02] mamece2: are there any files you can delete? [00:02] i'm activate xinerama, then reboot, and now i can't login. Ubuntu 10.4/ Ati Radeon. After i type passwd it try to start, but then ask passwd again. X can't start? [00:02] mamece2: try clearing out /var/cache/apt/archives [00:02] ChogyDan: yes, i can delete some [00:03] mamece2: also, try hitting ctrl+h to enable hidden folders view [00:03] rww: Well technically I'm support related [00:03] ChogyDan: yes i did the crtl + h thing [00:03] rww: Still installing Ubuntu, want you guys at hand in case something screws up [00:03] djskidd: the last bit wasn't, hence my suggestion. quite possible to be in both channels :) [00:04] Yeah, I know it's possible [00:04] ChogyDan: i cant erase anything from sda since im not sudo there [00:04] I used a trial version of mIRC, and now I use GNOME-XChat === Guest78971 is now known as net-lamer [00:05] mamece2: try df -h, and pastebin that [00:05] rww: I see you are an op there [00:06] djskidd: and here, and a lot of other places... [00:06] Hmm. I minimized Firefox and now there isn't anything to restore it by. [00:06] mamece2: you don't need to erase everything, just a few things [00:07] ChogyDan: ok i will paste bin [00:07] skegeek, try alt-tab ? === nosa is now known as nosa-j [00:08] ChogyDan: http://pastebin.com/c82fBZaA [00:08] Help please! I'm activate xinerama, then reboot, and now i can't logging in. Ubuntu 10.4/ Ati Radeon. After i type passwd system try to start, but then ask passwd again. [00:09] mamece2: yeah /dev/sda1 is still full [00:09] ChogyDan: thats what it said.. but in gpart there another history [00:10] Thanks. But, how come there are no bottom panel labels for applications anymore? [00:10] ChogyDan: i have another partition, should i erase them to use that free space in sda1??? [00:10] mamece2: why cant you delete some files? [00:10] ChogyDan: id really like to move them to sdc1 [00:10] Holy crap, how many packages are you downloading? [00:10] Still 5 minutes left... [00:11] ChogyDan: how can i cut and copy them? it seem that i dont have priviliedges to do that [00:11] Phew [00:11] mamece2: did you clear out the apt archies? [00:11] I can't see the F: drive [00:11] ChogyDan: there was just a 4K folder, and i cant erase it [00:11] That means Windows and my mom's crap is safe! yaaaay [00:14] Is there any way to easily upload music to the Amazon cloud? Thanks [00:14] Sorry, but is Ubuntu One for file synchronization or online file backup?? [00:14] Jordan_u: you still here? [00:14] ChogyDan: how can i get priviledges to erase files? [00:15] mamece2: just to check: du -ch /media/e1071a38-96e5-4acc-8d99-a5180347e317/var/cache/apt/archives [00:15] mamece2: gksu nautilus [00:16] mamece2: what is the total listed of the first command I gave [00:16] memand: Yes, though my connection is intermittent. [00:17] hi [00:17] is there a way to assign hotkeys to actions? [00:17] in unity [00:17] i'd like to launch a terminal on ctrl-alt-t [00:17] Jordan_u ah ok, sorry to hear that... [00:17] I'm having a problem with the open source radeon driver in 11.04. It works okay for my user, but if I add a second user the system is pretty much unusable for the new user. Super video lag + ghost images everywhere using Ubuntu Classic/.01 FPS glxgears. [00:18] memand: You cannot easily do a complete re-install without actually using an install CD/USB and the official installer. [00:18] Jordan_u but its possible? [00:18] mamece2: ? [00:19] after emacs installation, each time when I want run emacs the console tell me a library is needed so I do slackpkg search/install, but there is a lot of library !! more than 20; any solution for install emacs with all library one time at all ? [00:19] memand: Possible, yes. Worth the hastle, definitely not. [00:20] Hichamat: This is #ubuntu... [00:20] Jordan_u fair enough, I gues I will be without computer for the night [00:20] okay, ubuntu 10.04 32-bit, onboard audio isn't working in Ubuntu, but works elsewhere [00:20] where do I start looking? [00:21] volume settings are correct, it isn't muted, etc [00:21] mamece2: what was the total from that command? [00:21] ChogyDan: 116k [00:21] Jordan_u but thanks for your time anyways :) [00:21] oh, and /var/log/messages didn't throw any particularly interesting errors when loading it [00:22] anyone have recommendations for window managers? gnome + unity is causing me trouble [00:22] Hi there, I have ubuntu on both my machines so figured I could ask this here. How could I set up my chat on both machines to where it's connected on my desktop, but I could chat from the same nick on my laptop? I prefer xchat, so I'm guessing znc? [00:22] ChogyDan: irc in empathy is hell [00:22] also, this whole having popup dialogs in eclipse not respecting monitor borders (or the dead space underneath my primary) is getting troublesome :\ [00:22] (basically, popup dialogs span both screens if they're on the edge, making them very difficult to read) [00:22] mamece2: yeah, if you can at least just move some of your files/movies/whatever over to your one touch [00:22] mamece2: I use pidgin... [00:23] ChogyDan: im moving some music [00:23] is there a room for ubuntu server edition? [00:23] its: #ubuntu-server [00:23] ChogyDan: some files are being pasted with (invalid coding) ??? [00:24] Hey all. [00:24] hello SyberBot-1294 [00:24] mamece2: what does that mean? [00:24] hi guys, i have windows folder as share...how can i map it in ubuntu? [00:24] anyone help me out? [00:25] ChogyDan: apparently now i have one song per album in touch and in my sda1 D: wtf man [00:25] I have a question. I don't know if this is classified as Ubuntu or not but what distribution would you recommend for someone who's used to programming in Windows envireonents. [00:25] vm? [00:25] can you do focus follows mouse with unity? [00:25] i have my pc share folder as : \\i7-pc\sharefolder now in pc hwo can i accesss it? [00:25] i meant in ubuntu === KNUBBIG is now known as KNUBBIG_ [00:25] anyone? [00:26] false: You might take a look at xpra. [00:26] anyone know how to map a window share folder? [00:26] you should be able to type that into the explorer bar thing [00:26] !samba [00:26] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [00:27] ChogyDan: wow this really f@#$%^ up my files... [00:28] ubottu, no man, i want to accesss windows folder [00:28] phong_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:28] Is there a way to change the way windows are dragged? I feel like I have to click on a single pixel of the side of a window, or it doesn't grab. [00:28] mamece2: try copying then deleting instead of moving [00:28] so Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit, CMI onboard sound does not work in ubuntu, but works elsewhere. any thoughts on where I should start looking? [00:28] ChogyDan: ok [00:30] Seems pretty inactive now. === Logan__ is now known as Logan_ [00:31] ChogyDan: done, i just moved 13 Gb [00:32] anyone active? [00:32] ChogyDan: do u think this will fix the mountall : disconnected from plymouth error_ [00:32] ? [00:33] mamece2: yeah, I suspect so [00:33] ChogyDan: ok ill try to boot ubuntu 11 again [00:33] thx [00:33] mamece2: you have to have some free space for Ubuntu to start unfortunately. They should change that actually, but o well [00:33] where can i save files [00:34] on your hard drive? [00:34] where is a save place to save files === cassie is now known as Guest94737 [00:34] Cassie: Your home directory, aka "~" (aka /users/cassie or similar) [00:35] I them to be hidden yet to be able to access them through a search [00:35] *I want [00:35] Okay, I know it didn't mess up Windows [00:35] But it messed up ANYWAY. [00:36] Went right to Windows, not Ubuntu/Grub [00:36] hello [00:36] i have a quick question [00:38] !ask | Guest8178 [00:38] Guest8178: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:38] im on ubutun 1o.1o what will be the benife of updating to 11.4__ [00:39] Guest8178: '~$ dict benife; No definitions found for "benife". [00:41] Guest8178: none right now, unless you enjoy watching your system crash every so often [00:42] hi, does anyone use ubuntu/thunderbird w/ hashcash headers? [00:42] How do I install GruB without reinstalling Ubuntu? [00:42] aaah [00:42] im asking just because when i was trying to install 11.4 [00:43] my vm didnt want to work i dont know why [00:43] <[THC]AcidRain> omg not again. drive is mounted multiple times [00:43] <[THC]AcidRain> i swear this is an every week issue [00:43] Can I install Grub without reinstalling Ubuntu in entirety? [00:43] djskidd: yes [00:44] aeon-ltd: HOW? [00:44] djskidd: Yes. But it is dangerous. Make a backup before you proceed. [00:44] so i dont know what to do now,because i dont want to update and then that my pc get stock or something [00:45] Jordan_u can you maybe help me understand why none of my live discs works on this machine? [00:45] I am backed up [00:46] !grub2 | djskidd [00:46] djskidd: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [00:46] Guest8178: 11.04 is arguably not as stable as most releases; if 10.04 works for you, I'd have no qualms about using it rather than 11.04. Some of the software packages will be a little older, but you'll gain some stability and speed. [00:47] no bro im not on 10.4 [00:47] im on 10.10 [00:47] so i thoght 11.4 was better [00:47] since is new [00:47] thats why im asking [00:48] what command is it to remove a directory and all recursive files and directories without being prompted for y for everything? rm -r directory ? [00:49] leftist: rm -rf directory [00:49] ahh thanks [00:49] Is there any way to easily upload music to the Amazon cloud? Thanks [00:49] Guest8178: Ah, ok. Actually, I think there's pretty good consensus that, for most people 10.10 is "as good or better" than 11.04. :-) If you're running KUbuntu, 11.04 might be worth it... but otherwise, sticking with 10.10 is a perfectly reasonable thing to do. I mean, your alternative is to spend a bunch of time trying to get your VM software to work -- it's assuredly can be made to work, but like many things Linux, it could take hours to do so as well. [00:50] 11.04 has some regressions with regard to battery life on laptops as well, if that matters to you [00:50] thanks again loshki [00:51] ...although you might also just wait another month here and try out 11.10 too :-) [00:51] hi guys [00:52] serious, how can i connect a sharefolder in ubuntu to windows? [00:52] i have a folder which is shared in windows 7, how can i map it with ubuntu? [00:52] can someone explain to me why this http://tinypic.com/r/1o7p5x/7 is as far as I get when inserting a live cd? [00:52] and maybe help me silver it [00:52] *solve [00:53] phong_: Yes. Try just going to Nautilus and enter smb://name_of_the_windows_pc and see what happens -- if you're lucky it'll display the share names, you'll be able to click on those to open them, etc. [00:53] ChogyDan: hello! you are a wizard [00:53] phong_: Oh, hit Ctrl+L in Nautilus to get an editable address bar [00:53] memand: it looks like your graphics card driver isn't working maybe [00:53] mamece2: yay! glad it is working [00:54] it said error [00:54] ChogyDan: i still need to repair the partition thing.. i will read more about partition and ask again [00:54] phong_: What kind of error? Like, "...can't find the computer specified?" [00:54] ok [00:55] chogydan, can I do anything about it? [00:55] aaah ok thanks [00:55] ok i have open location in Ctrl +L [00:56] what do i type in the box? [00:56] i have file share on windows as \\I7-PC\Save_E [00:56] i press Ctrl+L: a box open, what should i type in the box? [00:56] come on guys [00:57] phong_: Enter smb://i7-pc [00:57] ok let me try [00:57] (or smb://i7-pc/save_e if you want to be ambitious :-) ) [00:58] i often have to use the ip# instead of the server name for smb:// stuff [00:58] So I found out my computer just doesn't like the new default Ubuntu desktop at all so I had to switch back to Ubuntu Classic, which is fine. But now, I have no sound. [00:58] it said cound not display that thing [00:58] so it can't connect [00:58] i already turn off file sharing in windows 7 [00:58] turn off password sharing [00:59] jkoltner, what could be wrong? [00:59] phong_: try it with the ip# of the windows machine. smb://###.###.###.### [00:59] ok [00:59] brb ill try [01:00] phong_: If that works (using the IP address directly), you'll want to install the "winbind" package, I believe, if you want to use the name instead [01:00] it said something, could not display that thing [01:00] ive not had much luck ever using teh hostname :) but i got static ips === Main_ is now known as tx3 [01:00] phong_: can you ping the windows ip# ? [01:01] how to ping in ubuntu? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === lolcat_ is now known as lolcat^ [01:02] hi. the following command still asks me if I want to *install* the software, instead I only want to download it, what am I doing wrong? sudo apt-get --download-only install ubuntu-restricted-extras [01:02] Dr_Willis|2, this is what i get: [01:02] PING 192.168.0.102 (192.168.0.102) 56(84) bytes of data. [01:02] 64 bytes from 192.168.0.102: icmp_req=1 ttl=128 time=0.206 ms [01:03] and goes on [01:03] chogydan, do you know if I can I [01:03] does it meant anything to you dr_willis ? [01:03] this freaking shlt is so complicated..just to map a window folder [01:04] chogydan, do you know if I can install grub from the live cd without going into the live environment? [01:04] phong_: means it worked.. [01:04] phong_: my first guess would be you got windows firewall going,. [01:05] oh [01:05] should i turn off? [01:05] phong_: I alwyas do. [01:05] i'm afraid of virii? [01:06] dr_willis, can't i just add some port ? [01:06] like mapping file ports? [01:06] phong_: no idea. the port for samba/smb is rather well defined. [01:06] You could check the firewall settings and be sure its open it.. or just test it by disabling the firewall [01:07] I find windows firewall causes more issues then it fix's for my home lan. My router handles the nasty traffic, [01:08] phong_, sadly, almost every "good" trojan for example just disables the windows firewall (or "tricks it") anyways :/ [01:08] what's a good maleware/virus scanner for ubuntu 10.10 ? [01:08] JetBoyJetGirl: you want to scan your files for windows viruses? because thats what most all of them do. [01:09] JetBoyJetGirl: linux dosent really need one for itself. [01:09] ahh.... so i should maybe just scan from windows? i have maleware on my windows, i'm duel booting... [01:09] dr_willis, lol, even firewall is off it still can't connect [01:09] this is geting me upset [01:10] phong_: are you trying to connect to your windows machine? [01:10] JetBoyJetGirl: theres specific linux live cds that have AV software you can use. [01:10] yes [01:10] JetBoyJetGirl: or install various tools on linux and scan the windows drives. [01:10] i have a folder share on window, [01:10] phong_: what's the IP of your windows machine and of your linux machine? are they on the same subset? [01:10] photon: win: 192.168.0.102 [01:10] phong_: can the windows machine see its own shares? :) [01:10] and ubuntu: 192.168.0.106 [01:10] JetBoyJetGirl, no, dont scan from windows, scan from linux. there is "clamav" for example, and, if i remember correctly, there is a avira antivir live cd based on linux [01:10] do other machines see the shares? [01:11] ok, so just check the software manager and see what I can come up with nsq? [01:11] phong_: check out the extention to nautilus which adds virus checking, fir windows shares even [01:11] JetBoyJetGirl, just search for "clamav", im sure the ubuntu wiki has a nice page about how to use it ;) [01:12] KlamAV, ok thanks... found it. [01:12] thats a gui front end to clamav :) [01:12] dr_willis, i'll give it up === |_ocke3 is now known as |_ocke [01:13] phong_: You just have to check the windows settings i imagine. I have issues doing xp to win7 [01:13] Oh well. he will blame linux for MS messing things up. [01:14] Hello, anyone here knows about the problem of audio with magicjack and ubuntu? [01:14] which problem danker ? [01:14] hey all [01:15] correct installation in VirtualBox but the audio over the phone when I come out with echoes [01:15] im suprised magicjack works at all with Ubuntu [01:15] ubuntu 10.04 32-bit, no audio via my CMI onboard chip. I've tested the audio elsewhere, and it works fine, just not in ubuntu. pulseaudio's up and running, and it THINKS it has sound, but no dice. any ideas? [01:15] got it in too the live environment all by my self, thank you very much ;D [01:15] ubuntu has not mounted my second hardisk, how do i know why this has happened? [01:16] gebbione: what filesystem is it? [01:17] not sure, i installed with the standard one [01:17] the hardisk is a ntfs i guess [01:17] the second one [01:17] what os formated the hard drive? where did it come from... [01:17] is there a way to do non consecutive text search inside a bunch of files at once, not a full string of words all together, but close together? [01:18] sudo fdisk -l should show the HD and what partitions are on it gebbione [01:18] bsmith093: with the proper regular expressions it should be possible.. but may be tricky dependng on your needs [01:18] can nautilus's search for files thing do this? [01:19] words close together - is going to be tricky :) [01:19] basically i think im asking is there a google search for ubuntu locally [01:19] You can do a regular expression like 'word' 1 or more characters 'word2' but how many characters are you going to need. [01:19] like google desktop [01:20] does anybody know of a terminal command to check if all drivers are working properly? [01:20] google desktop is avail for linux bsmith093 [01:20] oooh where [01:20] bsmith093: I tried beagle and tracker, I settled on gnome desktop, set up the folders to watch, and search away [01:20] dr_willis, with fdisk i dont see the drive i think [01:20] bsmith093: I meant google desktop [01:20] i see a linux, a extended and swap sda1-2-3 [01:20] gebbione: if fdisk or gparted are not seeing the drive. then that sounds like the pc is not seeing the disk at all. [01:21] damn [01:21] is it a external usb? or somthing else weird? [01:21] SATA [01:21] 2 [01:21] gebbione: paste the outcome of sudo fdisk -l here => http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [01:22] should i restart? [01:22] no gebbione [01:23] (memand) does anybody know of a terminal command to check if all drivers are working properly?

[01:31] gebbione: type mount [01:31] it asks for root if i dont put sudo [01:31] gebbione, udisks --mount /dev/sdb1 [01:31] Okay, is it possible to go back to Gnome 2 with 11.04? I don't think I like this new interface [01:31] thank you for your help MonkeyDust , I was using '|' instead of '>' [01:32] RevTorA: just select "ubuntu classic" at the bottom, when you are about to login [01:32] !classic | RevTorA [01:32] RevTorA: 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". [01:32] udisks --mount /dev/sdb1 Mount failed: Error mounting: mount: you must specify the filesystem type [01:32] Okay will do... and just to check, is there a way to make that the default? [01:33] it will be the default for the user, after you done that RevTorA [01:33] yes, that will do it [01:33] gebbione, udisks --mount-fstype --mount /dev/sdb1 [01:33] RevTorA, GDM should be able to do that yes [01:33] what is the name of ubuntu's system tray's sound applet? [01:33] No offense to Unity btw, I'm sure if one were to spend time with it they'd learn to love it hehe, just don't feel like it [01:33] well, im switched from gnome-shell to unity ;) [01:34] or lets say gnome3, you guys know what i mean ;p [01:34] nsq: im going the other way. :) [01:34] unity in 11.10 IS much improved however. [01:34] I'm having a problem with the open source radeon driver in 11.04. It works okay for my user, but if I add a second user the system is pretty much unusable for the new user. Super video lag + ghost images everywhere using Ubuntu Classic/.01 FPS glxgears. [01:35] Is there a per-user xorg.conf file or something? [01:36] what is the name of ubuntu's sound applet? [01:36] Sna4x8: each user can have their own monitor settings and so forth. [01:36] At last [01:36] I have Ubuntu installed and configured. Yes! /o\ \o/ /o\ \o/ [01:37] dr_willis: Right. I tried disabling pretty much every setting in compizconfig-settings_manager. The monitor has the same settings for both users, and the appearance is set to no effects. [01:37] djskidd, well done [01:37] Now I am typing the manual for my mom [01:37] lol [01:37] Unity is bugged, some times my mouse first click stop working [01:37] !manual | djskidd [01:37] djskidd: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [01:37] Sna4x8: if its set to no effects.. then compiz is not being used.. so ccsm wouldent matter [01:38] Well I am writing this myself [01:38] aleuck, does it happen when you drag windows around? it sometime "unclicks"? [01:38] I am taping it to the computer side [01:38] For her to see [01:38] djskidd, set some useful commands as wallapper or something lol [01:38] hi! [01:39] djskidd: find some youtube video tutorials. :) [01:39] gentoo-intel: well, it happen anytime but normally when i just logged in, so i have to log-out and log-in again, but now im using awesome [01:39] awesome [01:39] dr_willis: I take that back - I don't see a place to chose "no effects" anymore in 11.04. It was set to no effects in 10.04 before I "upgraded". [01:39] banshee wont play the songs i copied from my ipod, i uninstalled and re-installed, and it looks the same and wont play the songs [01:40] can anyone help me with my audio? all is set up to max and unmuted, I can hear noises and the mouse pad when I click and when I type, is a laptop mic built-in, but I don't hear voices [01:40] !classic [01:40] 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". [01:40] gentoo-intel: im not having this problem on awesome, especially becausa i almost don't need a mouse anymore o3o [01:40] thats proably why then :) [01:40] Sna4x8: theres always running 'metacity --replace' :) or install/use unity-2d [01:41] dr_willis: I have unity-2d. It makes my eyes bleed. Alt+tab... is... sigh. [01:41] Sna4x8: to repair Compiz, do this => gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz && compiz --replace [01:41] Let me give that metacity --replace [01:41] hey guys can you help me with a command or a way to check if all hardware is functioning properly? [01:41] oki [01:41] MonkeyDust: Ok, I'll try that too - thanks. [01:42] ok i managed to mount the disk with the disk utility, is there a way to set it to mount at start up? [01:42] gebbione: in /etc/fstab [01:42] add it to fstab [01:43] gebbione, what FS is it? ext4? [01:43] I have googled it and I can't find anything helpful on the subject === StR_ is now known as StR [01:43] memand, there isnt one [01:43] memand, there is not a magical "isallhardwareworking" command.

For more informationand workarounds, please see http://pad.lv/532633 [01:45] RevTorA, theres a program called ubuntu tweak that lets you do that in 1 click [01:45] gebbione: if its ntfs you can try installing and running ntfs-config to enable it to mount at boot time. [01:45] not sure if its still maintained or not [01:46] gentoo-intel: its maintained better then most projects. :) [01:46] zykotick9_ not that I see but I have been having a terrible time with this installation, and its a very new laptop so I just have hunch. if you know what I mean [01:46] i use ubuntu-tweak [01:46] dr_willis, ok. its a very good prog [01:46] bit like tweakui for xp :p [01:46] RevTorA, http://linuxlookup.com/howto/move_ubuntu_window_control_buttons_left_right_side for a gconftool string to run to move them [01:47] dr_willis: Well.. the alt+tab in unity really bugs me. I minimize something, then try to alt+tab back to it and the icon just rocks - and I have to click it. [01:47] dr_willis: plus the whole thing looks like a mac, and I don't want people thinking I spent more on my computer than my two motorcycles =) [01:48] Sna4x8: i dont think ubuntu looks anything like the mac os... [01:48] zykotick9_ and I'm pretty sure that the I need a gfx driver since I cant get transparency on my Windows [01:48] dr_willis: Too flash for me. To each his own. [01:48] memand: what laptop [01:49] if using compiz - theres several alt-tab pungins you could use and teak. [01:49] memand, what graphics card? "lspci | grep -i vga" in a terminal if you aren't sure. [01:49] memand: zykotick9_ yeah I'm betting it has 2 :) [01:50] can anyone help me with my audio? all is set up to max and unmuted, I can hear noises and the mouse pad when I click and when I type, is a laptop mic built-in, but I don't hear voices [01:50] is there any way to have the radiance theme also in my launcher/dock thing? also if i use the super key to search and stuff i would love to use something more radiance friendly [01:50] Yea, no thanks. I used it for about a month thinking it would grow on me. The Start->type app name is cool, but other than that I'm not a fan. I like my notification panel, menus, etc. [01:50] SIFTU, oh man, i hate those dual intel/nvidia things [01:50] siftu msi ge620dx but have an I5 not 7 [01:50] is there a theme for it or something? [01:50] zykotick9_: I have one.. and yes, they are bad :) [01:50] right now [01:50] time to give mom the crap she likes [01:51] memand: the website site says it has optimus [01:51] and I am DONE [01:51] memand: what was the output of the command zykotick9_ said to run [01:52] siftu just a sek I'm on my Android right now ill just switch so I can paste you..... === tum is now known as Guest63245 [01:53] dr_willis: So, metacity --replace completely fixes the issue I was having. [01:53] Hi, question, how is HD Playback in ubuntu 11.04 using Intel's driver integrated? [01:53] dr_willis: How do I use metacity instead of compiz? Just use Ubuntu Classic with no effects? [01:53] f4k3z, depends on cpu i suppose [01:54] f4k3z, most comps play hd fine nowadays [01:54] gentoo-intel: i;m asking because i have Dual win7 and Ubuntu 11.04, and win7 plays hd files perfectly, but in ubuntu i get choppy/laggy video [01:55] no idea. i dont know anything about intel graphics [01:55] but im guessing its not accelerated [01:55] ok im back [01:55] right now i have it dual because i dont get hd playback in ubuntu to work fine, if not i will use only Ubuntu :( [01:55] wgentoo-intel: hat you mean by not accelerated? [01:55] f4k3z, what movie player are you using on ubuntu? [01:55] vlc? [01:56] http://paste.ubuntu.com/688023/ [01:56] i tried VLC, Movie player, banshee and the worst is VLC i dont get the video and audio to work [01:56] f4k3z, i mean it will be cpu bound [01:56] f4k3z: video playback is fine on my intel sandy bridge [01:56] memand: yep.. you have optimus [01:56] memand: what version of ubuntu are you trying to install [01:57] SIFTU: sandy bridge is that a driver? [01:57] Good night #ubuntu! [01:57] SIFTU: 11.04 [01:57] Sna4x8: i belive so [01:57] gentoo-intel: what player yu use? [01:57] f4k3z: its the second gen intel CPU with on chip GPU type thingo [01:57] f4k3z, mplayer2 [01:57] but i use nvidia and vdpau [01:58] gentoo-intel: i heard something about vdpau, is that a driver? [01:58] f4k3z, it uses the nvidia card so it uses no cpu [01:58] f4k3z, vdpau is nvidia only [01:58] SIFTU: mmm not sure what i have :( [01:58] gentoo-intel: oooh i see :( [01:59] f4k3z, try mplayer2 its very fast prob the fastest player [01:59] zykotick9_: too bad, :( so intel's performance for HD playback is not very gud in Ubuntu right? or is only my computer? [01:59] gentoo-intel: going to install it right now and try it [01:59] sift [01:59] dr_willis: Awesome, thanks for the help. [01:59] f4k3z, it has no gui so youll have to type mplayer2 /video === fayimora_ is now known as fayimora [02:00] memand: what are you exact problems [02:00] f4k3z, i just set my file manager to open video files with mplayer2 [02:00] gentoo-intel, it's just mplayer on ubuntu! [02:00] memand: you can use the nvidia card with linxu without doing tricks [02:00] ok [02:00] zykotick9_, you mean the command, or the package? [02:00] if so theres bound to be a repo [02:01] ? [02:01] memand: can=cant [02:01] gentoo-intel, both [02:01] ok [02:01] SIFTU: when i tried to load the live cd it would not load until i started messing with the special boot settings [02:01] gentoo-intel: alright let me try [02:01] f4k3z, try mplayer1 then, but afaik its not developed any more [02:01] how do you flash bios from linux ? [02:01] memand: ah ok.. yes best to blacklist the nouveau driver [02:01] memand: nomodeset is needed for my nvidia cards. untill i instll the nvidia drivers. 11.10 has improved so i dont need the option with 11.10 :) [02:01] or very slow [02:01] SIFTU: before that it would just halt and give some (to me) un understandable error [02:01] got a strange problem on 10.04LTS where a static IP is set on a server, but after a while it reverts back to DHCP... any ideas? [02:02] whoever: well some server MB manufacturers have linux flash utils.. but most not.. I use freedos [02:02] gentoo-intel, installing mplayer will install an mplayer2 version [02:02] ive seen BIOS's these days that have built in flashing features. === Dion is now known as Guest98910 [02:02] zykotick9_, oh ok [02:02] gentoo-intel: alright [02:03] gentoo-intel, you really are using gentoo aren't you ;) Oh man, it's been a long time since i left gentoo... [02:03] i still try to help people though in here [02:03] f4k3z, intel's equivalent is vaapi [02:03] anyone familiar with this error after installing ubuntu "It seems that you do not have the hardware required to run unity. Please choose ubuntu classic at the login screen and you will be using the traditional environment." [02:04] if so please msg me to help me fix this [02:04] SIFTU: is this a good totorial on that , i haven't flashed from linux yet , and don't want to have to dig myself out of a whole http://www.linuxinsight.com/how-to-flash-motherboard-bios-from-linux-no-dos-windows-no-floppy-drive.html [02:04] knightvoid, i think you need to install prop video drivers [02:04] knightvoid: you need to install graphic drivers. [02:04] ni1s: vaapi? never heard of it, let me google it. [02:04] f4k3z, its accel for youur card [02:04] where would i find correct one [02:04] another question, do we need specific codec or something for MKV playback? [02:04] from disc? [02:04] f4k3z, mplayer plays them all [02:05] because i just recall installing the restricted extras [02:05] and not sure if that comes with mkv codec [02:05] i think thats for mp3s etc [02:05] not 100% [02:05] sure [02:05] isnt mkv matroska? [02:05] f4k3z, mkv is a container, it could have all sorts of codecs inside [02:05] gentoo-intel: oooh ok ok [02:05] ni1s, yup [02:05] ni1s: yeap [02:05] knightvoid: ubuntu will try to find it for you .. afaik it's in the system menu in the top .. called "restricted drivers" or "additional drivers" something like that [02:05] zykotick9_: i c [02:06] so we dont need to install specific codecs or something(like in windows) to play mkv files properly? [02:07] nsq i tried additional drivers, it did a search nothing came up.. [02:07] knightvoid: what graphic card are you using? [02:07] f4k3z, it's highly possible you do. But mkv could have open or proprietary codecs inside [02:07] nsq, ran lspci | grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) [02:08] zykotick9_: and where should we get those codecs to play mkv properly, then? [02:08] doesn't vlc play mkv ? [02:08] yeap but chooppy/laggy [02:08] almoxarife: it does for me [02:09] f4k3z: mplayer? [02:09] f4k3z: you could just use vlc [02:09] almoxarife: it laggs as well, and sometimes closes itself [02:09] f4k3z, if the file players but plays poorly it's more likely a graphics card issue, then a codec/player issue. [02:09] f4k3z, matoska is probably not at fault there [02:09] s/players/plays/ [02:10] f4k3z: have you considered the issue may be related to something else? hardware? [02:10] the problem is that only in bntu i cannot play mkv. or hd files :( [02:10] knightvoid: "If you have an intel card, the minimum is the i945 and i965.", i dont know if your graphics card is older, but if it is, you need to wait for 11.10, there is 2d support. [02:10] in win7 i can play all HD files and mkv properly [02:10] nsq, it is old, is this comp s.o.l. [02:10] nsq thank you, [02:11] almoxarife: if it was hardware, probably i will get same issue in win7, but only in Ubuntu i am facing it === Lubuntu is now known as LubuntuPowered [02:11] f4k3z: true [02:12] knightvoid, i'm affraid waiting for 11.10 will probably NOT solve your issue, it's possible to install unity 2d in 11.04 (or use an alternative DE/WM) - but your graphics card is unlikely to get improved driver support. Good luck. [02:12] almoxarife: yeap, so i am wondering if it is drivers/codec related issue not sure :( [02:13] zykotick9_ thanks. time to try the other computer [02:13] How do I tile my windows? [02:13] f4k3z: you have medibuntu installed? [02:13] f4k3z: I don't know that it would make a diff but I have never been without it, so its hard to tell [02:14] zykotick9_: if i remember correctly, it would work fine with unity2d? [02:14] hi! how can I switch my newly installed latest ubuntu to new style desktop? [02:14] Okay, I've run into a little problem. I've been trying to create a virtual webcam that plays a video instead of actually using my webcam. So that I can have an avatar on chatroulette instead of my real face. So, my latest attempt to do this was to install WebcamStudio and run it. I've installed that and vloopback correctly (at least I think vloopback is installed. I have no idea what it is or how to verify that) and I can't seem to find the menu option that let [02:14] nsq, possible, i've never bothered with Unity/Unity2D so I'm not the person to know... [02:15] almoxarife: to be honest havent tried it [02:15] almoxarife: but you have intel's graphics card? [02:15] f4k3z: yeap, intel graphics on a cheaper laptop [02:16] almoxarife: what card do you have? [02:18] Tiling windows in ubuntu anyone? [02:19] depends on which window manager you use [02:20] zykotick9_, is there a way to find out what will be supported in 11.10, i have a wireless card on another machine that doesn't work [02:21] littletinybaby, top of the list on a google search with your question. http://ubuntuguide.net/tile-windows-verticallyhorizontally-in-ubuntu-easily-with-x-tile [02:21] knightvoid, you could try asking if the card is supported in the #ubuntu+1 channel perhaps? I don't know of a URL with a list. [02:22] zykotick9_, thank you [02:22] knightvoid, not distro specific but, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported [02:23] knightvoid, I have cards that are not listed that work as well. === hplpb2 is now known as hplpb [02:24] hi, I'd like to share my printer that's connected to my 11.04 box with my 10.04 box (via wireless router) -- when trying to add the network printer on the 10.04 box it asks me for a printer address .. what do I input? -- much thx [02:26] urlin2u would one of them be wn311b [02:26] NM [02:26] unity was hiding the 'server' select on the menu bar. argh [02:26] =P [02:26] knight nah [02:27] figures.

[03:01] zykotick9_ thats what Im trying to figure out, if it needs gnome 3 [03:01] because gnome 3 is horrible [03:02] the gnome 3 core wont break it i thought [03:02] Shortstraw8, "chmod +x Vmware-Player-3.1.4-385536.x86_64.bundle" then "gksu ./Vmware-Player-3.1.4-385536.x86_64.bundle" should work [03:02] xosuitehearts: Gnome 3 and 11.04 is a no no together, I had to reinstall the OS.

[03:05] zebastianortis: package manager tool. [03:06] how do I stop xserver? [03:06] is there such a thing as winamp for linux [03:06] hello, I'm trying to install the official second life viewer 2 and it crashes on start up on ubuntu 11.04, however other third party viewers like Imprudence and Singularity do run on Ubuntu 11.04 I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this and what I might install or add that would allow me to run Viewer 2 (second life)? [03:06] xosuitehearts: Personally I don't think you would have any problems. Just try and see. Either way you will learn new things. :) [03:06] T3CHKOMMIE, did you run "sudo update-grub2" after changing 40_custom? [03:06] zebastianortis: audacious [03:06] zebastianortis try clementine [03:06] beached, "sudo service gdm stop" [03:06] zykotick9_, yes, sure did multiple times :( [03:07] BrandonBolton but it wont fudge up my whole distro? [03:07] T3CHKOMMIE, is 40_custom set to executable? [03:07] Excuse me, "the screen frame 60, that any mouse refresh rate higher than 60 will not have any effect," it that right [03:07] chmod 777 yes [03:07] Excuse me, "the screen frame 60, that any mouse refresh rate higher than 60 will not have any effect," is that right? [03:08] T3CHKOMMIE, sorry, that's all the low-lying fruit suggestions i have. Good luck. [03:08] damn, thank tho. [03:08] xosuitehearts: Just try, if you are worried about that just have a back up of all of your data. You can never be to safe. :) [03:09] zebastianortis, audacious looks winamp but i recommend u Clementine itz an amazing music player [03:09] T3CHKOMMIE: you mean you see no grub menu at all?

[03:18] I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 - is there any recommended packages that might allow me to run 3d Virtual reality type games on this OS ? [03:18] zebastianortis, just install the packages with synaptic package manager. dr_willis is correct its called what he got the ubotto to print out. [03:18] T3CHKOMMIE, what about fat [03:18] its bit torrent [03:18] doad: what program. and how opening it. [03:18] zebastianortis, you can have fat and NTFS automount with fstab, or just open them when needed [03:18] Lynna: like what [03:19] I would like to run second life viewer [03:19] im trying to extract it it but this keeps coming up An error occurred while extracting files.

[03:20] T3CHKOMMIE, urlin2u oh, sorry i didnt see what dr willis posted there, i have known doctor willis before when i was costarican quaker on here [03:20] so basically it should just mount automatically? [03:20] There are some 3rd party viewers for the same simulators that work, but the official SL viewers are not working on Ubuntu 11.04 [03:20] Lynna, i don't use it, but have you tried Snowglobe - it's available from playdeb.net [03:20] how do you paste bin?

[03:22] hello [03:22] ok what dr willis posted has a weird named procedure and two actual solutions that seem to be specific to two other releases only [03:23] Hello, yes I copied a couple log files earlier to http://pastebin.com/7TpnF6ZA === andy_ is now known as Guest80689 [03:23] Hey everyone!

[03:24] when i minimize my windows the disappear like when I hit the X where do I go to change this setting? [03:24] Hello! annoying question maybe but I can't find how to end/kill a process that I don't know the full name of :( [03:24] zebastianortis, the quakers in America were great people as far as protecting and harboring the colored communities, during slavery and post times including the JimCrow era [03:25] urlin2u, I know that, hence I am anarcho-capitalist of the freedomainradio tradition now [03:25] Paganini, "ps aux | grep partialname" to find it's name / or PID [03:25] ok, that thing tells me to manually mount partitions, i am going to read on but i want things to be mounted automatically [03:25] cannot be opening a terminal every time i insert a flash drive [03:26] * T3CHKOMMIE still not getting anywhere with grub... what a waste of my life. :( [03:26] zebastianortis, anarcho-capitalist < contradiction isn't it? [03:26] the crash logs for second life I posted at http://pastebin.com/7TpnF6ZA its crashing on startup.

Does it come pre installed? [03:30] do u mean me lynna [03:30] can any one tell me how i can get back to windows i need to download it but i cant keep getting thoughs dam error messages [03:30] doad, thanks I just was asking generally to anyone who knows of what might be included into the Ubuntu 11.04 download. [03:30] oh ok [03:31] can any one tell me how i can get back to windows i need to download it but i cant keep getting thoughs dam error messages === ehw_ is now known as ehw [03:31] zykotick9_, it gave me a page of jargon and I can't quite work out the PID, is there a brief view at all? [03:31] what window doad? [03:31] windows vista [03:31] doad, windows is not booting? [03:32] Paganini, that "jargon" is the list of running programs [03:32] oh you have to reboot and then press the key to choose the vista version when it reboots [03:32] to all, figured it out. the ass hole that gave me the code gave double "s for the entry name instead of single 's now it works just fine. [03:32] nope i need to download it from scratch [03:32] my disk is really badly scratched [03:32] ok,so what is the name of the app i need to look for on synaptic [03:32] well it all seems like running programs related to my keyword [03:32] so that ntsf and fat partitions will automatically mount [03:32] doad, I wouldn't do that except from a legit source. [03:33] it's not a tonne of programs just the one but there's a lot of things running I think, although this PID I killed may have worked :) [03:33] i have got my windows vista serial number surely i can downlaod it [03:33] means you have to quit Ubuntu, and choose restart and when it restarts watch the screen you will see some choices on what operating system to boot into. On my machine f12 gets me the boot menu but on some machines its escape key. [03:33] zebastianortis, they should automount by default - in a terminal type "groups", is plugdev listed? [03:33] doad do you run a dual boot computer? [03:33] zebastianortis, are you using Gnome/Unity? [03:33] yes [03:33] doad, if you can proof of purchas to MS you can get a disc cheap. [03:34] purchase* [03:34] ok, and your Vista OS works ok ? [03:34] zykotick9_, yes it does show up upon typing groups and i am on lubuntu [03:34] no its corrupt [03:34] ohh ok [03:34] doad, you're talking about pirating software, it's not legal to download MS software! [03:34] ok downloading mountmanager [03:34] zebastianortis, sorry I have no idea what lubuntu offers for automounting - good luck. [03:35] zyk, you can download software from the microsoftstore I purchase the win 7 OS from there with download key [03:35] zykotick9_, actually you can there, I got mine from Digital River. [03:35] i know but i have already bought it the disk it beyond repair and i have my vista serial [03:35] zykotick9_, I recommend looking up Stephan Kinsella [03:35] doad: ask on #windows.... [03:35] ok [03:35] Lynna, urlin2u ok if it's from a legitamate "store" I can see it. [03:36] doad if you have any friends who have the same vista install CD you can run it and then insert your own key. [03:36] thanks [03:36] zykotick9_, yeah I know what you meen though anybody saying download is usually not do ing it legaly. [03:37] well, I bought a win 7 family pack (3 licenses) on the MS store with download key so its not that uncommon. [03:37] doad: Lynna how about we move on and stay on topic ;) cof*ubuntu*cof*support [03:38] yes xangua maybe you can help me with my problem of running Second Life viewer on ubuntu 11.04? [03:38] Lynna: never tried second life, you mean runing it with wine¿ [03:38] Second Life has a Linux client, doesn't it? [03:38] no its a linux version of their program [03:38] ok i was able to find my flash drive on this application called mount manager [03:38] but it asks for a mountpoint [03:39] i dont know wht that is [03:39] I am using the linux version [03:39] is there a command to check what is the partition type? [03:39] it crashes on startup [03:39] maybe I would have better success trying the windows version on wine. [03:39] or that Virtual PC package [03:40] gebbione: mount [03:41] zebastianortis, mount point in a install? [03:41] thanks qin [03:41] ok i just mounted the flash drive [03:41] ok thanks to all who responded. I'lll go post my questions in the forum - thanks again. [03:41] and it doesnt show up on the desktop [03:41] Lynna: try a different version of their viewer? [03:48] zykotick9_, I installed vbox thank you much easier then the vmare. I'm installing windows 7 does the creating process take a while? [03:49] Shortstraw8, ? i've only used GNU/Linux VMs - but about as long as a regular Win7 install i'd guess [03:49] hey all [03:50] Hey guys, is any of you gamers, and can you give me some advice on the drivers for NVIDIA? [03:50] im trying to get wine to work on my wee little laptop (netbook) so i can rock fallout 2 [03:50] zykotick9_, just seemed like its taking a little bit thanks again. [03:51] memand: whats your question? [03:51] Shortstraw8, your running two OS on the same HD, W7 on a thumb would go pretty fast. [03:52] faster anyway [03:53] can someone help me with grub [03:53] urlin2u, you must be joking. Even USB2 is SO slow compared to a IDE/SATA HD. I run 4+ VM's on one HD fine, but running Ubuntu off a USB drive is SLOW [03:54] Hello, using latest ubuntu, the hibernate option doesn't work... when selecting it for shutdown option, I just get a black screen, then computer off, when turned back on, the bootup is normal, for some reason the volume is muted, but no resume of last session, any ideas to fix? [03:54] urlin2u, I would but I lost my last one but I might do that I just need it for school work right now, but Ill have to try that you just plug it in and go? [03:54] ChoggyDan: I am using this laptop http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GE620DX.html but i have the i5 not the i7, so someone told me that it is actually a bad idea installing the drivers for the nvidia card and that i should use the intel instead [03:54] is there an easy way to tell if a remote host is online/offline? is ping the best application? is there a way to get a yes or no answer from ping? [03:55] ChoggyDan: but im not really shure he is right [03:55] I ahve a 500gb drive, split up a into WIn7, Kubuntu, and an old version of Kubuntu for which i delted the partition. It appears that partition held the grub information i need to boot. Can someone help me fix it? [03:55] zykotick9_, I thought it was a vm install, generally for installing I find thumbs faster than a cd or ISO's [03:55] ChoggyDan: and when i try to google it all the info is foggy at best [03:55] urlin2u, oh sorry - i though you where suggesting installing onto a thumb drive, instead of using a VM. Sorry, my mistake :) [03:56] memand: well, you can always remove the nvidia drivers. Seems like a strange suggestion. I have no idea though. There should be no harm in trying things out [03:56] I do have a 2terabyte 6gbps hd [03:57] zykotick9_, your right though as far a OS, my SDHC class 10 card is even worse the my thumbs.

[03:58] Stanley00, ya, that didnt work. [03:58] ChoggyDan: yeah your right i guess i have just become a little paranoid since this machine has been giving med a hard time with linux [03:58] urlin2u, WIn7 and Kubuntu [03:58] mainly because of lack of drivers [03:58] memand, welcome to linux [03:59] SubCool, post what the bot says here.

[04:15] !enter | Guest59569 [04:15] Guest59569: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [04:15] opk [04:15] you can simply google the logs [04:15] ok [04:15] Guest59569: Yes [04:15] thx [04:15] what do you mean by google the logs? [04:15] Guest59569: irclog.ubuntu.com [04:15] I'm sure if there was a federal agent looking for you for some reason then yes [04:15] how do i start x, but no window managers or desktop environments? [04:16] buy why would they be looking for a reason to fuck you? [04:16] hylian: startx [04:16] but [04:16] hylian: xinit [04:16] ! language | nac-godfather [04:16] nac-godfather: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [04:16] Guest59569: Private conversations as in /msg or PM? === semeion_ is now known as semeion [04:16] as in /query [04:17] Guest59569: Best bet is DCC via ssl [04:17] i dont understand [04:17] Guest59569: As far as I'm aware, we don't log them. It would be theoretically possible for us or someone else between you and your recipient to do so. IRC does not have guaranteed privacy, use something else. [04:17] soreau, qin what i mean is i have full bloat ubuntu, and i want it to just boot to cli. then when i want an x app, run it, i.e. firefox.. can i do that? [04:17] Can anyone recommend a decent mmorpg for linux? 2D is fine [04:18] tee worlds [04:18] XD [04:18] yea but i think that programs like msn, skype are easier to track for the police as the pvt msg logs on IRCnet servers [04:18] maple story face book [04:18] :) [04:18] or either facebook [04:18] I know servers can log [04:18] public conversations [04:18] hey guys how are we all, does anyone use Ubuntu server on a DELL T110 ? [04:19] but can they log privates too? [04:19] hylian: from tty: xinit -- :1 vt8 will give you plain xserver, either you can stop gdm or boot into text. [04:19] qin, so this would give me cli, but when i wanted, i could fire up firefox, for instance? [04:20] Guest59569: dcc - direct client to client, if encrypted, would be quite sequre. [04:20] does ubuntu 10.04 not support compiz? [04:20] SubCool, you got the script run? [04:20] ok [04:20] thank you [04:20] hylian: It will give you xterm on vt8, and you can run there whatever you want. [04:21] Guest59569: /query goes you <--> IRC server <--> other person [04:21] Guest59569: DCC goes you <---> other person [04:21] oh ok [04:21] also [04:21] Guest59569: But DCC is plain text, so can be sniffed [04:22] qin, yeah, i've been able to do that already, i hate xterm with a passion. ok, thanks, thats what I thought. === MrUnagi_ is now known as MrUnagi [04:23] qin i dont think that police would sniff conversations of all users on ircnet, since there-s 57.000 plus users [04:23] hylian: it is just terminal of xserver, like tty, but white. [04:24] urlin2u, not yet.. system is hanging on the liveUSB, might have to use this one.. (not that u know my USB status lol) [04:24] qin, i know, but it always displays small for me, and i also would default it black for me. i was hoping there was a way to get something similar to ctrl alt f1, for instance, plus x11 capability. cli that can actually load images or videos, for intance. [04:26] Is Transmission the best? Or is there better? Something that doesn't eat up all my system resources? [04:26] qin, i actually installed terminator and then built a custom xsession option for it. it works pretty well, but I was looking for something a little more, tty + x11. thanks anyhow. [04:26] celltech: rtorrent [04:27] simple question. im trying to uninstall wine on a natty narwhal installation. i uninstalled from the software center, but i would like to be sure it's completely uninstalled. whats the terminal command to permanently remove it? i know it should be sudo apt-get purge something [04:27] Awesome... Now here's the fun part. Can I transfer a partial download from transmission to rtorrent. or do I have to waite till it's done [04:28] celltech: Maybe. [04:28] I hope [04:28] Transmission is slow... [04:29] sublim21: rm -rf ~/.wine (very carefull!!!), and: locate wine (remove rest) [04:30] celltech: you can start the torrent in rtorrent and set to download to the same destination as the partial (with the same filename of course) and the before you start the torrent you do a force re-check [04:30] that should do it [04:30] sublim21: sudo apt-get remove --purge wine (should remove configs and docs) [04:30] awesome... thank you. [04:30] np [04:31] Now... terminal fun.. what kind of sick tricks can I do in terminal to get into some "trouble"? :D [04:31] celltech: for example: typo [04:32] celltech: sudo apt-get install sl && sl [04:32] Someone was saying that with a linux machine, terminal, there's endless fun you can do with it :) [04:33] nevermind. I'll bbl [04:33] Thanks again [04:36] How can I manually restart the unity panel and menu? it appears to have crashed or is at least not coming up and i cant restart at the moment [04:36] having trouble pairing my bluetooth wireless keyboard. it balks at the "enter the following passcode" phase. any thoughts as to how to proceed? [04:36] slide, have you been tweaking compiz? [04:36] rustyshackleford: usually the default pass code is: 0000 [04:36] urlin2u, nope [04:37] rustyshackleford: I think bt default was 0000 or 1234 [04:37] qin: or that [04:37] Blue1, its not that. it recognizes the device. its at the actual pairing stage. I entered the security code as requested (its a randomly generated one) and nothing happens [04:37] slide, compiz --replace will restart compiz and again after closing the terminal [04:37] just ... doesn't work [04:37] urlin2u, i think it is still running, because if i hit the menu, and then click on the place that my launcher is supposed to be, then the app launches [04:38] rustyshackleford: never heard of one randomly generated but okay - sorry I can't help [04:38] and with all of this wireless stuff, i don't know how to tell if its my hardware, or a software setting (i think its probably a software thing) [04:38] is there like a pastebin for screen shots? [04:38] rustyshackleford: what dmesg says? [04:38] Greetings. Is there a smooth way to permanently decrypt your home directory if you selected to encrypt it when you installed Ubuntu Desktop (11.04)? [04:38] urlin2u, thanks that worked! [04:39] rustyshackleford, http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add [04:39] slide, cool [04:41] here's what it looks like as i try [04:41] http://imagebin.org/172211 [04:42] typing the following numbers and hitting enter is not met with success, obviously [04:42] rustyshackleford: wow that's the first time I have ever seen a 6 digit pin for bt. [04:43] Hi, trying to set rtc alarm to wake up machine at certain time for backup tasks. [04:43] What is the easiset way to set rtc alarm for daily routine [04:43] i thought the 4 digit pins were just to specify the device type? [04:43] iono [04:43] does anyone use Ubuntu server on a DELL T110 ? are there any known driver issues? [04:44] urlin2u, ya, this is givin gme hell- sorry. thanks for trying.. [04:44] rustyshackleford: you can give this a whirl -- ymmv applies; http://awesomelinux.blogspot.com/2010/05/ubuntu-1004-lucid-logitech-dinovo-edge.html [04:44] SubCool, are you familiar with supergrub? [04:44] Anyone know why flash video would have framerate issues when embedded in a page, but *not* in fullscreen? Google only tells me about the opposite situation. [04:45] urlin2u, not at all [04:46] SubCool, so lets make sure I understand when you power on you have no boot or windows wont boot? [04:46] pretzelface: i am going to go out on a limb - there might be flash active elsewhere (on the page) that is not present in full screen mode. [04:47] Blue1, I don't think that's the issue; it happens on every site, and I run adblock anyway. [04:48] SubCool, anyway supergrub 2 is for booting into a broken grub 2 setup, if you get in you can put grub back in the mbr, or purge it and reinstall if needed then to the mbr. [04:48] oh cool [04:48] http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ SubCool [04:50] urlin2u: this is what I got from jordan-u a long time ago. http://pkill-9.com/recovering-ubuntudebian-linux-after-a-windows-installhiccup/ worked well for me. [04:50] hmm... nope. dang. [04:52] rustyshackleford: :-( -- dunno that was all I found in schlepping [04:52] rustyshackleford: only bluetooth I have played with are my hearing aids. [04:52] SubCool, yeah that is a chroot from a live cd that works as well, personally I just get in with supergrub and do it from inside the OS if possible, sometimes you don't even have to chroot, if you have the cd of the installed same release as well. [04:52] and cell phones [04:52] I found a great discussion of the install process [04:52] http://iamyouruser.blogspot.com/2011/03/logitech-dinovo-edge-on-ubuntu-1010.html [04:52] I get to step 3, whereas he gets past it [04:53] but he's on 10.10, and I'm on 10.04 [04:53] SubCool, all this realy depends on the damage done, as far as access and reloading grub. [04:53] .. i suppose you're going to say the obvious solution is to upgrade? [04:54] rustyshackleford: wow that was 6 months ago - so fairly recently [04:54] rustyshackleford: dunno not tried bt at all on my computers [04:55] rustyshackleford: curiously have you tried this in windows? [04:56] no i haven't and that's a brilliant idea [04:56] brb. but i bet it does :( [04:56] k [04:57] rustyshackleford: that would at least tell you it;s a software issue not a hardware [04:57] anyone ever do fake motherboard raid as there / partition in linux? my motherboard drivers for linux just has a txt file saying use the latest kernel.. didn't know if it was possible or even worth it === Kasjopaja23111 is now known as Kasjopaja === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest82207 [05:00] does anybody know of a way to get smooth scrolling text in gnome terminal? [05:01] anyone? [05:02] rasusto, don't think it's possible. [05:02] rasusto, aside from patching things. :P [05:07] urlin2u, making a new liveusb now.. [05:07] SubCool, cool [05:07] eherde, [05:07] i wanna partition it to make 2 on one disk, but i dont think i have enough space. [05:07] 8gig should work for two right? and make them persistant [05:09] SubCool, using what loader, you need a multiloader like this one. http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/ [05:09] SubCool, you can only make one persistent I believe. [05:10] thats cool, but id hate to lose the one i just made [05:10] eh- honestly, i just want to be able to use one stick on 32 and 64 bit platforms [05:11] SubCool, I don't know how your loading a second but without a custom gru2 set up or a multiloader app you will loose the first I believe. [05:11] grub2 [05:11] im not, i want one. :) [05:11] knew i shoulda picked up the 16 gig [05:12] SubCool: yeah what I have discovered is the different linux os will change things like .profile and gnome settings for example -- so if I multiboot differnt linux os, I use a different gui in each. [05:12] grrrr im really pissed [05:12] SubCool, the mulisystem loader v=cvan have many ISO's on it I have a 16 gig thumb I use, 32 or 64 bit no problem it just boots the ISO's, only one persistent though [05:12] i havent seen the need to derive from ubuntu so far [05:12] so got this thor disk thing will not play it literally acts like there is not supported codex [05:13] werid looking blocky stuff and flashing going on [05:13] SubCool: I don;t care much for unity [05:13] urlin2u, thas cool- [05:13] !details | grendal-prime [05:13] grendal-prime: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [05:13] but I don't want to start any flame wars either [05:13] Blue1, i dont like having everything on one computer either, but rememberin all that stuff is geting to me. [05:13] urlin2u, ya right sorry hold on ill get the exact error [05:13] SubCool: i hear you [05:14] Blue1, nah screw the wars, they all have thier own purpose..

Like that- then got suggested to try ubuntu. been here since. [05:16] SubCool: i have it on a netbook, and my quadcore machine - still trying to figure out why the cpu won't come out of sleep - the fans spin, and the light quits flashing - it;s like the proverbial the lights are on, but no one's home [05:16] its the packages and easy update that do it for me..

[05:21] grendal-prime, I see a alot of that error mentioned on a web search. [05:21] sage_, when i first started using linux, blinking at it could cause it [05:22] what do you mean? [05:22] ya and a lot of finger pointing as to what may be the problem [05:22] im not pointing fingers [05:22] i like ubuntu [05:22] its the best [05:22] now on vlc it complains allot about not being able to use the menus then...starts playing it and begins a series of...

After running 'sudo apt-get install webmin' for webmin installation, terminal hanged, and the mouse does not move, nor does the keyboard work. [05:26] it told me to use it on the help page [05:27] mrdeb: pretty well, but like I said, it won't come out of sleep -- got flash and java to work -- firefox did not have 64 bit browser, but 64 bit chrome works nicely [05:27] Blue1, throw a copy of ubuntu or mandriva on there- test partition see if that does anything. And if its not that, i remember on older machines having issues with 4cores aswell. Something to do with bios..

[05:31] but i think the code is wrong on the site or something [05:31] grendal-prime, your set then it sounds like, the one I lnked is wildly diverse. [05:32] because some of the code on there is not working for me [05:32] Blue1: no. lol. [05:32] linked [05:32] Blue1, actually- u can probably get away with just using a liveUSB. What have you tried. [05:32] im new to coding [05:32] ServerTech: worth a shot, it can't make it any more broke that it is. [05:32] but i like to learn [05:32] hey there, im wondering is there photoshop for Ubuntu? if not, is there any other program that may substitute to photoshop ?

[05:33] SubCool: cool I do have 11.04 64 bit desktop already d/l -- try tomorrow [05:33] Blue1, what i do is- i pop in the LIveUSB, turn on the Sysmon widget. and thats enough for me usually. Maybe download the benchmark program [05:33] Blue1, good luck! [05:33] urlin2u, im trying to figure out a way to do online rentals same way netflix does it. I m mean i know technically how to do it..but legally. [05:33] hey there, im wondering is there photoshop for Ubuntu? if not, is there any other program that may substitute to photoshop ? [05:33] ServerTech: no you would have to boot up off the livecd so would require a reboot [05:33] well if i have more questions i guess ill just have to come back [05:34] money rulez use gimp [05:34] lata [05:34] gimp [05:34] M0n3yRuL3z, gimp [05:34] hahahha [05:34] look it up is thats what i said [05:34] :P [05:34] Blue1: urr okay then. [05:34] gimp [05:34] too funny [05:34] get it...learn it ...it beats the crap out of any photo shop app out there. [05:34] but you got to learn it. [05:34] grendal-prime, thanks [05:34] its the same shit [05:34] just not pretty [05:34] i said it first dude!?!?!? [05:34] "o [05:34] :) [05:35] im sorry, sage_ did u say something? [05:35] i did newspaper production for 7 years. i would have killed for gimp [05:35] lol nm [05:35] mostly kidding [05:35] !tab | sage_ [05:35] sage_: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [05:35] the one thing I wish gimp had was an auto correct feature for photos [05:35] not serious [05:35] just fyi [05:35] sage_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:35] grendal-prime, yeah if you could and have open source access as well you might have something there, inspite of the lower user base in general, enough to profit past the overhead. [05:35] rww, lol he was stuck at M [05:35] SubCool: indeed [05:35] how was i flooding? [05:35] ignore it [05:36] sage_: because you press [Enter] too often. [05:36] ahh [05:36] just do a /ignore floodbot1 [05:36] heh [05:36] Anyone have any idea why I can't get captcha's to show? Not on a personal website, on a phpBB forum trying to register and have to enter the captcha code and I can't get the image to show.. [05:36] hahahahaha [05:36] Blue1: given that annoying the floodbots is a good way to involuntarily exit #ubuntu...

[05:37] thing is urlin2u I got customers that tell me all the time "if you figure it out we will use you instead of netflix" [05:37] as long as it doesn't turn out to be: I;ll get you my pretty, and your little cpu 2! [05:38] its a legal nightmare from what i can tell though..netfilx negotiates each and every title. [05:38] grendal-prime: I am partially deaf and need captioning which netflix didn't offer - so went with hulu plus [05:39] okay yeah #offtopic [05:39] hi [05:39] howdy heylelshalem tex [05:39] has anyone here successfully installed nagios and npe? i'm getting ssl errors and have no idea why [05:40] you know anything about sound driver stuff? [05:40] !sound [05:40] If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.

[05:40] hello guys , how can i search a specific text , on a specific folders? like search "mytext" into all folders in "home/myuser/downloads" ? thanks [05:40] not a strong suit for me [05:40] blue...ya you know i was actually thinking along the lines of a since it would be rather small time operation... using literaly a carosel machine that would allow full access to all the dvd features. [05:41] hello [05:41] grendal-prime: that would be nice. we should develop that! [05:41] that would also meet all the req's for distrobution and liscencing. [05:41] bambanx: cd /home.myuser/downloads && grep -r * [05:41] because you could only play one disk at a time per customer.. [05:41] dude... [05:42] Blue1, there's no place like gnome [05:42] urlin2u: indeed! [05:42] SIFTU, with cd ? [05:42] bambanx: it's the grep that does it [05:42] bambanx: yeah cd to the directory you want to search from [05:42] ok thanks guys [05:44] partially works, not fully [05:44] its odd. can't explain [05:44] I bought it used off ebay. its possible the guy spilled something on it, and it half works and is trying to foist it off on me [05:44] its possible [05:44] 'cause only some of the keys work on windows [05:45] but I've got to go to sleep guys [05:45] thanks so much for the help. you all have a good one [05:47] has anyone here successfully installed nagios and nrpe? i'm getting ssl handshake errors despite following every tutorial (aside from source-compiling ones) [05:47] willbradley: lol I remember getting those [05:48] willbradley: different versions of nrpe?

I never did such things by the way [06:01] that didnt work [06:01] Besogon, What I would like to do is limit them to about 50Kbps as it is I only have 270K here and they are syphoning all of it [06:02] I live on the island of Raiatea and my bandwidth costs me 14500 Tahitian France a month which is about 155 dollars a month [06:02] maheanuu: I can do it on my router http://dl.dropbox.com/u/906920/screenshots/screenshot-20110912230201.jpeg [06:03] what kind of router? [06:04] maheanuu, what kind of router?

[06:08] maheanuu: yeah you need QoS :).. you could give your computer higher priority than theirs [06:09] BBIAB, going to see if I can find the QoS page [06:12] hi, i want transfer 100k files to my amazon server using rsync, i have list of files to be transferred in .txt file, is there any way i can mention in rsync command to pick only files in .txt file from that directory? [06:13] hi I am using ubuntu 10.04 64 bit server [06:13] when i type mysql in the command line iam getting the following error :mysql: relocation error: mysql: symbol strmov_overlapp, version libmysqlclient_16 not defined in file libmysqlclient.so.16 with link time reference [06:16] guys... I'm migrating an ubuntu 8 server over to 11.10 [06:17] running xubuntu (this was the case with kubuntu as well, probably normal ubuntu), the boot splash and 'shutting down' splashes are very inconsistent. The boot splash almost never works, normally I just get a black screen (if it was ubuntu, purple), occasionally a couple of init messages. The shut down splash works ~1/3 of the time, the rest of the time it's just like the boot [06:17] any ideas on troubleshooting this? Are there scripts to re-setup that stuff? [06:17] trying to make sure I port the whole dovecot-postfix stuff over [06:17] anything I should keep an eye out for? [06:17] can folders have metadata? [06:17] I moved /var/mail and /var/spool/mail over [06:17] moved /etc/postfix and /etc/dovecot over === dual is now known as lunis [06:26] are there any terminal apps that will allow for easy splitting and resizing of windows? [06:27] the default one doesn't even have any related functions in the context menu, at all :< [06:27] hi! anyone know anything about setting up multi displays (3) across 2 different GPUs? [06:28] Blake: it is doable at least with xorg.conf, but can you do that with GUI i am not sure [06:28] ah [06:28] Here is some text about it: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/X.Org/Dual_Monitors [06:29] well Ive looked across plenty of posts and as far as I can tell it's a nightmare for a novice to set up [06:29] Yeah i am afraid its not piece of cake .. :/ [06:29] :( [06:30] Blake: see that page i pasted, section "Configuring X " [06:30] Blake: Again, as i said, i have no glue if there is GUI for doing that [06:30] right now ive got it set up so that each screen is a separate x screen, but I cant move windows across screens and theres no icons on the other screens for maximize, minimize and close [06:30] yeah [06:30] clue not glue [06:30] haha [06:31] ive been reading about xrandr as well, with little understanding xD [06:31] Ill mess around a bit more and hopefully have something a bit more specific to ask [06:31] thanks for the link [06:31] Np, happy hacking [06:31] Blake: If you end up messing the config up, do "rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf && Xorg -configure" [06:33] way ahead of you on messing it up haha, thanks for the -configure command. ive just been removing the conf file and restarting whenever soemthing goes horribly wrong [06:34] whenever I try xinerama it seems to shift the desktop to the right about 3000 pixels, and everything before it is black screen [06:35] luckymurali: I am using Ubuntu 11.10 Beta 64 bit server.

[06:37] My friend has a little problem with Ubuntu, and actually any other distros. After bootup, the screen brightness drops to 80% and will *not* go up higher, nothing helps - xbrightness, keyboard manipulations, nothing! Apparently, this happens when udev is processing stuffs. Any way to tell udev to keep the brightness at 100%? [06:40] theadmin: If this phenomenon appears "with any other distros" then the hardware of your friend is at fault and udev cannot help. [06:41] bullgard4: Are you so certain? It works fine in Windows. [06:42] theadmin: So the premise in your question was false. [06:42] bullgard4: ...Windows ain't a distro [06:42] theadmin: If this phenomenon appears with any other operating system then the hardware of your friend is at fault and udev cannot help. [06:43] bullgard4: Thing is, it works fine with Windows, but not with Linux. This can not be a hardware issue. [06:44] theadmin: This inference is correct. [06:44] bullgard4: Are you just trolling me? Jeez. [06:44] bullgard4: This is not #grammarnazi, you know [06:45] theadmin: See you later. [06:45] bullgard4: I didn't mean any offense, just meant that as a joke, k? [06:46] Ah well, either way *waits for help* [06:48] I upgraded Ubuntu from 10.10 to 11.04 . the system said upgrade is complete but with some errors(it says gconf is failed to install or update). when I log in after upgrade desktop is shown without panel then Using create launcher i launch terminal and then gnome-panel.I have to do this on every login. how to fix this [06:49] hello [06:49] Hello, tonghaibo [06:50] hi [06:50] I used http://www.myfixlog.com/fix.php?fid=66 [06:50] hey theadmin [06:50] but the flashdisk remains unbootable [06:50] I am unsure what I am doing is wrong [06:55] is dc++ encrypted? [06:59] frewsxcv: Yes dc++ is encrypted [06:59] cvam: but it's not decentralized, right? [07:01] Hi, with Unity, how can I see the installed games list, i.e. the equivalent of "Applications → Games" with the classic gnome menu? [07:02] ello friendz [07:02] anyone know about pulse? [07:02] heylelshalem: It's the main audio system in Ubuntu, so of course :D [07:02] frewsxcv: decentralized ? i can't understand what do you mean decentralized [07:02] pullse [07:02] can i run a system performance benchmark on ubuntu 11.04 [07:03] cvam: there has to be a server running, correct? it's not directly peer to peer? [07:03] well i cant seem to get something unmuted in pulse [07:03] or i think its jack [07:03] guys how can I check what software sources my system should have by default? === vivek is now known as Guest18066 [07:04] god help me, how to undelete files from a usb stick? its probably fat or ntfs partition not sure [07:04] I am using ubuntu 10.04 and from yesterday my laptop become very slow [07:04] hello? anyone?

I have lost some of my desktop - changed the system settings to activate the desktop cube facility and now I have no toolbars or launcher - can anyone help me retrieve please :-) [07:07] what is better about ubuntu than debian [07:08] my ubuntu 10.04 laptop becomes very slow from yesterday [07:08] frewsxcv: Each hub is individually run by a fellow user of the Direct Connect network [07:08] i think i used that before but and found it in my dirs, but how to execute it? [07:08] AndroidLoverInSF: /path/to/file/photorec [07:08] frewsxcv: So peer to peer to peer [07:10] hello [07:10] taraduffy, you can run unity -reset to get it back as installed and follow this link to set up the cube correctly. Read carefully the trick is since the refresh of compiz is funky to have a refresh option. http://reformedmusings.wordpress.com/2011/05/05/howto-get-the-compiz-desktop-cube-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty-and-unity/ [07:11] frewsxcv: here hub is not working like a server, it work like a router or switch [07:11] cvam: Sort of like a tracker for torrents. [07:11] taraduffy, or maybe the link will get you finished. [07:11] hello [07:11] cvam: Right? [07:12] heylelshalem, we see you ask a question if you need help. :D [07:12] theadmin: yes [07:12] its a tuff one [07:12] urlin2u thanks. Do I just go to that link in a browser - because I have nothing to get me to a terminal? [07:12] i run a recording software in reaper [07:13] and i have a external soundcard that runs though pulse and into wine using jack [07:13] taraduffy, run compiz --replace in the terminal first or logut and log in since compiz has some issues the cube does work though. [07:13] the software is recognizing audio signals but the program is muted === KNUBBIG_ is now known as KNUBBIG [07:13] so i think that the mixer is muted but i cant pull up the mixer [07:13] taraduffy, that will reload compiz maybe that will help to begin with. [07:14] do i just install a new mixer? lol [07:14] Hi all, trying to get an app to work under wine that directly needs SSL. i have added the repos to get to wine 1.3 beta which tells me is the fix, but link on same page to update doesnt work for me. the link is 'apt://wine1.3' what should i run at cli to get it upgraded? [07:14] urlin2u I cannot open a terminal - I have no controls showing [07:15] anyone? [07:15] I upgraded Ubuntu from 10.10 to 11.04 . the system said upgrade is complete but with some errors(it says gconf is failed to install or update). when I log in after upgrade desktop is shown without panel then Using create launcher i launch terminal and then gnome-panel.I have to do this on every login. how to fix this [07:15] taraduffy: Ctrl+Alt+T I beleive === KNUBBIG is now known as KNUBBIG_ [07:15] taraduffy, do a tty reboot crtl-alt-f1 then login and reboot, worse case here you may need to go to the classic to set stuff straight. [07:15] Is there a way to add kernel modules to the server/minimal installer if they don't already exist on the install media? I want to install on microSD but the installer doesnt have sdhci_pci.ji [07:16] Hey all [07:16] .ko that is [07:17] just quick question guys, how do i update from 10.04 to 11.04 :/ my update manager isn't seeming to find it [07:17] taraduffy, the reboot may get back some of what you need. [07:17] shadowmancer: No can do, you can only upgrade to 10.10 [07:17] anyone? [07:17] shadowmancer: And from there, to 11.04 [07:18] shadowmancer, you have to go to 10.10, the 11.04 [07:18] theadmin: :| ok ... so shouldn't it still show me in the update manager, i went "update-manager -d" [07:18] is ok, i got it, just uninstall 1.2 and the reinstall now bringing me 3. could someone explain to me why apt upgrade didnt do that, it definately made some updates to wine1.2 ??? [07:18] urlin2u I am at tty but cant log back in the keyboard is not giving me what I type? [07:19] I had problems with a network card hanging in ubuntu 11.04, is that dist having any reported problems with network cards? [07:19] urlin2u, should I be just using my login as normal? [07:19] taraduffy, your not logging back to the desktop, what do you see in the cli? [07:20] doh never mind find out what was happening [07:20] taraduffy, user name then password is usual the sudo reboot [07:20] i had my software sourses set to long term support releases only >.< [07:20] then* [07:21] taraduffy-ThinkPad login: cursor but when I type characters come up in place of some of the letters on the keyboard [07:21] anli_, not in particular, what is the card? [07:22] taraduffy, type your user name then the password. [07:22] I cant. The keyboard has gone strange - what I type does not come up; other characters do instead [07:23] I used http://www.myfixlog.com/fix.php?fid=66 but the flashdisk remains unbootable [07:23] I am unsure what I am doing is wrong [07:24] taraduffy, okay lest do a soft shutdown hold down theses keys in the order then slowly type the rest crtl=alt=prtc R-E-I-S-U-B [07:25] taraduffy, if that doesn't work you can hit f7 and get back to the desktop or shutdown with tghe power button, sounds like no reboot from the desktop though. [07:26] urlin2u I can do control alt delete for a complete shutdown? (what is prtc?) [07:27] taraduffy, it is the print scree key top right area mine says prtsc and sysrq [07:27] screen* [07:28] taraduffy, if crtl alt delete shuts you down go for it we just need a reboot of some sort it seems [07:29] urlin2u, OK, restarting OK. [07:29] OK [07:29] taraduffy, cool I suspect most of the desktop will be back. [07:29] urlin2u: I am at login, shall I go ahead? === _nyuszika7h_ is now known as nyuszik7h [07:30] taraduffy, sure login into unity lets see what happens. === nyuszik7h is now known as nyuszika7h [07:30] taraduffy, yo were in unity before I asume. [07:31] urlin2u, same - no controls or sidebar just desktop as one window covering the whole screen. [07:32] taraduffy, can you hit ctrl-alt -t and get a terminal, this has to be set in compiz in natty to run but lets see. [07:33] urlin2u: ctrl alt t has no effect at all. [07:34] taraduffy, I would just do the same shuts=down and go to the classic desktop at the login, it is at the bottom popup after choosing your user name. [07:35] Is there a way to add kernel modules to the server/minimal installer if they don't already exist on the install media? I want to install on microSD but the installer doesnt have sdhci_pci.ko [07:36] urlin2u, some success! now I have a top toolbar but no launcher. - shall I go into system settings and undo what i did with desktop cube etc? === fishwithapipe is now known as f|shy [07:36] urlin2u: RTL8168d/8111d [07:38] Hi there, i am using unity and i was wondering when i have multiple windows of the same app, how i change between them like alt+tab ? [07:39] kilon, if you click on the apps icon in the taskbar it should display all the windows then you cna just double click the one you want [07:39] taraduffy, here is a cool app to install that will sit in the top panel that has a restsrt window manager=compiz and other cool controls download it, and open the startup applications and put in the command indicator-displex to have it be there when you start up in general, once installed it will be in the menus as well. [07:39] http://sourceforge.net/projects/displex/files/displex-0.7.1/ [07:40] taraduffy, this will restart compiz as needed while you mess with it. [07:40] urlin2u: OK. many thanks :-)) [07:40] zHammeRz: that will open the app right ? i have already opened it. Multiple windows of it. I want to browse through the windows [07:41] taraduffy, no problem the displex does what the fusion icon did in earlier releases. [07:41] no, it shouldn't..at least it doesn't for me..maybe it's a app by app basis [07:41] what is the app? [07:42] zHammeRz: the applications tab shows none of my opened apps [07:42] urlin2u, thanks again :-)) [07:42] anyone using unity? I appear not to be able to modify the main bar .... every time I put an application in it, whenever I log out, it resets the bar [07:43] anli_, has the card ever worked? [07:43] kilon, it works with terminal, I just opened 7 windows and then clicking on the icon with the left mouse button brought up a bunch of windows of all my open terminals I could choose from [07:43] ct529, are you putting apps there ? [07:44] ct529: Is it the launcher on the left side ur talking abt? [07:44] zHammeRz: its allow me to open only a single terminal window [07:45] taraduffy, no problem have fun. :D [07:45] damn unity acts so weird [07:46] kilon, then I don't know..that isn't how mine is working and I just use the defaults [07:46] urlin2u: last thing, I downloaded from the link - how do Install it? [07:46] me too, stadard ubuntu 11.04 install, latest update, nothing changed [07:46] Do you know if 11.10 to include Gnome 3.0 environment in addition to Unity? [07:46] kilon, use ctrl+shift+n [07:46] urlin2u: It has always worked poor since I installed 11.04 [07:47] aeplus: that combo opens a scripts manager [07:47] Maybe it wasnt that good before either [07:47] hello? [07:47] kilon: with the terminal application having focus? [07:48] aeplus: ah ok, now it works [07:48] i either use terminal tabs or new windows [07:48] i am ablet to create multiple windows of terminal [07:48] however if i maximise all those terminal windows how i can browse through them ? [07:49] kilon, works with for terminal application in other windows managers as well [07:49] alt+tab [07:49] yeah i know alt+Tab [07:49] i was seeking for some alternative [07:49] a gui element maybe [07:50] I upgraded Ubuntu from 10.10 to 11.04 . the system said upgrade is complete but with some errors(it says gconf is failed to install or update). when I log in after upgrade desktop is shown without panel then Using create launcher i launch terminal and then gnome-panel.I have to do this on every login. how to fix this [07:50] kilon, i prefer using tabs instead of windows... ctrl+shift+t [07:50] then you can use alt+1, alt+2 to select tabs [07:50] anli_, realtecs I think in general are a bit tough from a look at the web, and that card, I'm not really up in this area, these are some links that may help not sure really. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported [07:50] my ubuntu lucid laptop becomes very slow from yesterday. please suggest me how to make it fast [07:51] sunit, close firefox [07:51] hi, all, does any body know, why my "Time & Date" can't be opened?

[07:55] i only have five items in the launcher [07:55] what that had to do with widows ? [07:56] oh, i figured running applications, i don't have that many running [07:56] kilon, there should be little indicators on the open apps icons in the left panel on the far left of the icon one dot per app what happens when you click multiple time on the icon if you have multiple instances of one open? [07:56] urlin2u: indeed there is [07:56] as for window terminals, i use tabs and shuffle between them... i probably only have five terminal sessions open at any time [07:57] urlin2u: its tries to move the icon [07:57] clicking on it, should present the options [07:57] ooooops [07:57] my bad [07:57] * XceptN withdraws trolly question [07:57] it now displays the windows [07:58] kilon, click multiple time my panel wil hide but open it and click again, I have docky at the bottom to have better control myself [07:58] <_et> how do I find the exact version number or build date of an installed daily build??

How can I see the computers that are currently connected to my internet service, so I can always watch, trace and know when it's beyond the two people I've given then WEP key?? [08:00] <_et> aeplus: that gives just the kernel version. But what I need is a way to find out the build date .. :) [08:00] _et, the command given should help but the channel for help is #ubuntu+1 [08:00] <_et> urlin2u: Thank you! [08:01] hah, i thought uname -a gave the build date [08:02] <_et> aeplus: Apparently, it doesn't. [08:04] urlin2u: oh, its a wired card [08:04] i guess my install is system-specific [08:05] unity acts weird , it does not appear when i move the mouse to the left, sometimes [08:08] scarleo: yes it is the launcher [08:08] aeplus: closing firefox is not helping [08:08] urlin2u: yes, I put the applications there and then I click on the "keep it in the launcher" [08:08] sunit_, i was guessing it was a memory leak, you wouldn't happen to be running eclipse or an eclipse-derived application? [08:09] ct529: SO how do you add the apps to it? Right click and Keep in launcher? [08:10] scarleo: yes [08:11] ct529: Not sure abt what might cause that, I know my launcher gets reset sometimes if another user logs in between my logins, but I never had it reset just from login/logout [08:11] scarleo: but then I log out .... and they are not kept in launcher [08:11] scarleo: is there a configuration file I cna modify by hand? [08:13] Hello, where is the place to set environment varialbes that need to be set before a services starts. It is that tomcat6 needs to have CATALINA_HOME set before it starts. [08:13] how i have access via unity to all classic menus like for example additional driver , synaptic etc ? [08:13] My question is where can I set them? In the ~/.bashrc would be too late. [08:14] ct529: I think you are better off finding the source of the problem, I'm not sure how to debug that though. Have you tried creating a new user and see if the same happens there? [08:17] Hey all, openprinting.org is offline and I need to get hplip-3.10.9-plugin.run to print some files, anyone know where there is a mirror or anything? [08:24] hi. i uninstalled emerald with 'sudo apt-get purge emerald' and now i have no window-borders. i have tried to rectify this by making sure i had window borders in System>Preferences>Appearence to no avail. How do I get window borders back? [08:25] btw window borders === _ + x to maximize, minimize, close. has title of window, etc [08:25] vercingetorix: emereald, at least used to be the stuff handling window borders back in the day. Maybe you should reinstall it? or go for unity2d [08:25] wich is not compiz [08:25] anyone else has problem that when you maximise a window , it become all white ? [08:26] orly? i thought i had installed emerald from outside sources, not that it was included with ubuntu [08:26] kilon: happend to me once in a while, but i have no solution for it. [08:26] vercingetorix: do you remembert the name of the package? (then i can compare with my install) [08:26] yeah tomodachi same here, happens once a while. I thouht it was my drivers , but even downloading from nvidia did not help [08:26] emerald-theme-manager or something [08:26] i'm just apt-getting emerald again [08:27] vercingetorix: try installing compiz-settings-manager and enable decorations... [08:27] vercingetorix: i dont have it, but accordingt to apt it conflicts with cgwd, gcompitzthemer [08:27] so maybe you need them back , to replace the hole emerald left [08:27] vercingetorix: after installing compiz of course [08:27] ah i see now [08:28] i have compiz-settings-manager mkquist [08:28] also compiz [08:28] what happened is in window decorations [08:28] kilon: I also have nvidia, myst say im waiting for the next release, Then im turning to LTS. cant stand this bugginess no more. UNtill they rething the release cycle a bit [08:28] in 'Command' field it has 'emerald --replace' [08:28] i believe before it was supposed to be 'metacity --replace' [08:28] lemme try [08:28] NVIDIA GEFORCE 62000 Turbocache [08:29] great success :) [08:29] vercingetorix: see if it sticks on reboot [08:29] well sorta [08:29] i'll try mkquist [08:29] somethings are a little funky yet [08:31] i have being told my card is ancient lol [08:32] hi a computer i have is booting into busybox shell, how can i get it to boot normally, it does it on any kerenls from the list [08:32] Hi, on my Thinkpad T520, ubuntu LTS does not seem to have ethernet... wifi works... What could e the matter? [08:32] Fudge: have you tried ubuntu recovery mode ? [08:32] filePeter: do you see the devices when typing ifconfig in the terminal? [08:32] Hey all, openprinting.org is down and I need to get hplip-3.10.9-plugin.run in order to print, any ideas? [08:33] no havent tried recovery [08:33] i thought it was the same as a busybox shell and im not sure with limitted tolls how to fsck or mount [08:33] tomodachi: No. lspci states there is a device... nothing more.. [08:33] Fudge: there is a low graphics mode, if its a graphic problem it will allow you to fix it [08:33] ataq_: nothing in google ? [08:33] im fine with the command line kilon [08:34] but someone else is reading it for me and thought recovery wasnt a full bash [08:34] where can i find logs (or any information) why mount hangs? i'm trying to mount some windows shares and it works almost always, but sometimes it just hangs (about once every month) and i have to reboot to fix it, i wanna know why it happens and fix it without rebooting [08:34] seems to be better [08:34] window border is back at least [08:34] kilon: No nothing, as far as I can see, it just completely relies on openprinting.org [08:34] vercingetorix, you have window decoration ticked in compiz? [08:34] yep urlin2u [08:34] kilon with recovery is it easy enough to brin gup an interface so i can ssh [08:35] fair enough [08:36] vercingetorix, compiz has some refresh problems in natty compiz --replace wil restart it or logging out sometimes a reboot is needed. [08:36] in lucid 10.04 still urlin2u, plus i think this is a solved issue, thanks :) [08:36] hello. if i make an SSH-account such that someone can use an SSH-tunnel to access my non-public computers... how can i do that, but prevent them from having an interactive shell? [08:36] vercingetorix, cool you have the fusion icon to use if needed. [08:37] fusion icon? [08:37] hey guys i thnk im not supposed to ask about this here but for an emergency i do it [08:37] vercingetorix, yes it is a control for compiz it will restart the manager and such. === jkoch is now known as netlemur [08:45] ubuntu 10.04 unable to boot into graphical interface, no magic from nomodeset :( [08:46] Ubuntu 10.10, when the system goes into "power save" mode, it will not resume.

I've followed all the instructions on this tutorial http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=79588 but when I try log into my FTP server using my ftp client (filezilla) I get this error: Connection attempt failed with "ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server". [08:47] ubuntu 10.04 unable to boot into graphical interface, no magic from nomodeset :( [08:47] anyone here using fakeraid with ubuntu [08:48] hi [08:49] i need to download a specific version of a package archive. I need google-chrome-stable in version 10.0.648.205-r81283. how can i find the file? it's very important that i find it [08:49] well, very important to me :) [08:49] I installed ubuntu on a computer right now, 11.04 64-bit, in the startup, I get the purple screen for a while, then its black only [08:50] Hoiw can I trouble shoot that? [08:50] hook up your monitor to the other graphic card output. [08:51] raj-darkmystery, so you get to the f6 for nomodeset is that how your using that command [08:52] yes urlin2u I tried with nomodeset using F6 but no luck [08:52] raj-darkmystery, sorry a install, has it ever booted in and have you changed the grphic drivers? [08:52] Seems to be a common ubuntu error message with a totally black screen at startup [08:52] raj-darkmystery, okay so it is a live cd ot=r thumb here? [08:53] anli_, did you try what i said? [08:53] or* [08:53] had installed it previously but the same issue no graphics.. and right now I am using live cd [08:53] cheater: ah, its only one output, I think, must see [08:53] urlin2u, had installed it previously but the same issue no graphics.. and right now I am using live cd [08:53] cheater: hm, its not :) [08:53] raj-darkmystery, do you know the gpu? [08:54] cheater: wow, thats better :) [08:54] cool [08:54] Thanks! [08:54] urlin2u, gpu? sorry 'm not aware about that.. can you please guide? [08:54] I will probaby not need xwindows on this computer, can I just uninstall it and reboot? [08:55] why will you not [08:55] Its a server [08:55] raj-darkmystery, so this is a little confusing here, can you be real specific your on a live cd is this on that computer, and what live cd? [08:55] and? [08:55] And I dont have use for xwindows [08:55] you use it for the desktop [08:55] hey guys [08:55] wait til unity breaks on you [08:55] then you'll wish you had gnome around [08:55] urlin2u, live CD [08:55] I will only connect to this server remotely [08:55] raj-darkmystery, of? [08:55] oh [08:55] hehe [08:56] anli_: what are you trying to do? [08:56] "I will probaby not need xwindows on this computer, can I just uninstall it and reboot?" [08:56] i thought you meant that x is a server [08:56] I have not use for it [08:56] then you shouldn't be using the desktop edition [08:56] no [08:56] anli_: sure [08:56] use the server version then [08:56] but yes you can uninstall it [08:56] I know, but now I have the desktop edition [08:56] i was installing openjdk -6 in my machine after complete installation i powered off my system . But now if i am trying to log into the system it is not accepting the password [08:56] anli_: yeah I would install server or a comand line system from the alternate iso if that's all you want. [08:56] Hm, maybe I should burn another dvd with the server version after all [08:56] urlin2u, ubuntu 10.04 [08:56] <_____zx> urllin2u : linux booting from cd [08:56] and showing some configuration file errors in notification area [08:56] could someone please help me to fix this?. [08:56] histo, what is a 'command line system'? [08:57] anli_: that being said you can remove X and reboot and get to a command line system. [08:57] trying [08:57] cheater: it's an option on the alternate iso. It installs ubuntu minimal [08:57] thx [08:57] ok [08:57] <_____zx> terminal [08:57] histo, any idea how to get the deb for an older version of a package? [08:57] i really need it [08:57] cheater: look in your /var/cache/apt/archives/ [08:58] hi, i got a weird problem. when i install nvidia drivers my max resolution is 640x480. But if i dont install it i can have up to 1280x720. My question is will my graphic card run as it should if i dont install the drivers? [08:58] not there [08:58] i need to download it [08:58] cheater: if you need one from an older version of ubuntu you can hunt around in packages.ubuntu.com [08:58] raj-darkmystery, and you said you used f6, this is only on a live cd or usb/pendrive, can you see how this is confusing. In that your using a live cd but you are giving rather conflicting info no be-ig deal just trying to get to the answer of what is actually installed as well. [08:59] histo, what if it's from a ppa or something like that? [08:59] raj-darkmystery, do you have 10.04 installed? [08:59] cheater: you'd have to check with that ppa then [09:00] cheater: or you could possible find the source code of the original package and just build the old version yourself [09:00] histo, that ppa seems to be down. it's the google-chrome-stable ppa [09:00] cheater: and what is wrong witht he current stable? [09:00] i need the old version to perform tests [09:00] Hi fellas. I'm trying to set up a FTP server using proftpd on Ubuntu. I've followed all the instructions on this tutorial http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=79588 but when I try log into my FTP server using my ftp client (filezilla) I get this error: Connection attempt failed with "ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server". Here is my proftpd conf: http://pastie.org/2525328 - any ideas? [09:01] urlin2u, yes I do have ubuntu 10.04 installed but I am not able to get the graphics so right now 'm trying on live CD and checking if anyhow I can get the graphics :( so for now we can think we are on live cd only and nothing is installed [09:01] Hi, I'm having some weird issues with a USB drive, problem is the USB drive will shutdown randomly (once every 1 or 2 days) this behavior doesn't exist if it's hooked up to a windows or OSX machine. Also it stays mounted and says device is busy if i try to unmount it. Anyone know if there is a USB drive fix for ubuntu? [09:02] A USB drive is suddenly read-only. How can I fix this? [09:03] Starminn: mount it r/w [09:05] raj-darkmystery, you can't fix this from the live cd, have you done a nomodeset from the grub menu with using e to edit the kernel? [09:05] Intel corporation Sandy Brudge Integrated Graphics Controller, no graphics in ubuntu 10.04, nomodeset is also not able to solve the issue :( [09:05] yes urlin2u i tried that as well.. while booting I replaced quite splash with nomodeset but the result was same :( [09:05] histo: Clearly. I want to plug it in, and it be read/write, like it used to be. Suddenly it's mounting as read. I want it to stop. [09:06] Starminn: what were you last playing with when this behavior started? [09:06] Noone has any idea about the USB drive that occasionally powers down itself? [09:07] histo, i also have another package which *is* from ubuntu, but i don't know how to find that older version. what did you mean by hunting around on packages.ubuntu.com? i can't find it there [09:07] cheater: yeah you won't find it there if you installed it from a ppa [09:08] histo, no it's from the main repository [09:08] Has anyone tried moving their whole OS to SSD without doing a clean install? Is it worth doing? I have a 1TB HDD but want to use it just for storage. [09:08] you know what never mind [09:08] benoliver999: it can be done but i would back up your home first [09:08] the package in question was php5 [09:09] cheater: oh well you can find older versions of that [09:09] raj-darkmystery, I think you can get it to work this is outside my area of knowledge in general, so others can help, the channel is really busy during the day US time, and the ubuntu forums are a great resource as well. [09:09] cheater: earlier you said it was google chrome stable [09:09] if any of its files had bad blocks in them, they probably were less buggy than the code the php team wrote [09:09] Thanks histo. [09:09] histo, this is another one (i did mention that :p) [09:09] cheater: what version of php5 are you looking for? [09:10] 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.7 [09:10] hi all [09:10] i need to connect to an irc channel for mac os x [09:11] cheater: what is the specific package name you are looking for? you may have issues with all the dependencies etc.. [09:11] thanks urlin2u I need to ask it later in evening then :( as day here [09:11] histo, i don't know [09:11] er well [09:11] the *package* name is php5 [09:11] but i don't know the package archive name [09:12] can anyone help me. how to join to an mac os x channel? [09:12] cheater: well 10.04 which is the LTS release has 5.3.2-ubuntu4.9 [09:12] histo: Honestly I don't know what did it because the time span between when it worked like it should and now is like 2 months, and as you can imagine a lot has been played with. [09:12] Starminn: does this happen with other thumb drives? [09:12] <_____zx> cheater: try ubuntuupdates.org [09:12] raj-darkmystery, some of the users that are in England come on soon and they are good at this stuff. :D [09:13] histo: Nope [09:13] *sigh* [09:14] _____zx, i have tried but i didn't find any debs there, where do i go specifically? [09:14] Starminn: let me check some other stuff [09:14] urlin2u, is it possible that anyhow my raid configuration is interrupting the normal installation or functioning? [09:14] histo, i know, that is not the one i am looking for. I need the exact version. [09:14] the checksums need to match. [09:15] cheater: i'm sure someone has it laying around but I don't think you're going to get much help here with installing packages from a different version of ubuntu [09:15] cheater: you're just looking at creating all sorts of issues. [09:15] cheater: i'd just download 5.3.2 from php.org and compile yourself [09:15] hey anyone know a command to unmute a sound channel in terminal? [09:15] heylelshalem: i'd use alsamixer [09:15] raj-darkmystery, I'm not familiar with raid, so I can't say but that along with the graphic info is important to mention so the others who help can work with that if needed, the more info about your setup the better. [09:16] histo, that is not going to be the same thing. i need the exact package archive for that exact package version. [09:16] it's not from a different version of ubuntu, it's just an older version of the package from the same version of ubuntu. you are confused. [09:16] On Ubuntu 10.10, when my system goes into Power Save mode it becomes unresponsive. Tips? [09:17] Starminn: there is a problem with your usb drive [09:17] Starminn: i would fsck it [09:18] Starminn: unmount it and try sudo dosfsck -a -v /dev/sdbx where x is the # of the partition on that drive [09:18] Starminn: you can find out with sudo fdisk -l to see all the drives connected to your machine. [09:18] histo: Lol, due to the meme it's become I read that second line differently at first. ;) [09:18] histo: But alright, one moment. [09:19] Starminn: it may not be /dev/sdb# could be /dev/sdc etc.... [09:19] Starminn: and that's dosfsck not dofsck [09:20] histo: http://pastie.org/2525392 [09:21] histo (It's sdb1) [09:23] Hi. I'd like to use Kate on Ubuntu, but apt-get tells me that it will install 188MB, mostly KDE libs. I'm wondering if it will hurt performance if I install it... [09:25] Starminn: okay sudo umount /dev/sdb1 && sudo dosfsck -a -v /dev/sdb1 [09:25] marcvangend: you need the some of the KDE libs for it to run [09:25] marcvangend, probably not what is the cpu and you memory amount? [09:25] your [09:26] marcvangend: I had the same earlier with gedit - 88MB of libs just to run it :-/ I dislike the bloat, but what can you do, eh? [09:26] somsip_: use vim [09:26] histo: Same error (it's already unmounted) [09:26] histo: I do in terminal, but find working with large amounts of text easier in a GUI [09:26] Starminn: did dosfsck fix anything? [09:27] somsip_: there's gvim [09:27] histo: I have 8GB of ram, but I'm using a lot of that for virtual machines, two browsers, eclipse... [09:27] marcvangend: it won't be an issue [09:27] histo: I know and thanks for the advice, but this is what I did today. Doesn't really help marcvangend, but there you go [09:27] histo: That's what's failing, it would appear. Same error as the pastie I gave earlier. [09:28] Starminn: oh sorry let me take a look [09:28] histo: :) It's brief, don't worry lol. [09:28] histo: OK, thanks, I'll give it a try [09:35] ok question [09:35] The answer to your question is "Yes" [09:36] you know about jack? [09:36] Yes [09:36] The answer to your question is "Not recently" [09:36] the next question, that is [09:36] i think my jack server is down [09:36] * Johnny_Giggles will stop being silly now [09:37] !netsplit [09:37] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [09:37] Starminn: i have to go but you may want to try running testdisk on the device. Worst case scenario you can copy the files off of it to the hard drive reformat the thumb drive. Then copy them back [09:37] hello! on some 10.04 systems i have noticed that the command 'less' actually executes bash scripts (when i am expecting to just look at them). it seems that they have to exist in some $PATH dir for that to happen, but it doesnt happen on all servers. cant find anything about it in the man page either, nor on google... has anyone noticed such a thing? [09:38] histo: Oh, the drive is actually empty. How could I reformat it? (If you could give me a lead before you leave?) [09:41] pirx: I've never seen that. Even when the file you want to view using 'less' is not in your current directory (cwd) but in your PATH only, it still is not supposed to execute. For example, try less ls it will show an error for less, but not execute ls [09:42] pirx, where were the offending files located? [09:43] hello [09:43] they are in/usr/local/bin/ === slobro_ is now known as slobro [09:44] pirx: and you did you use less?

[11:57] dhruvasagar: puts the window in the bottom left corner [11:57] dhruvasagar: you should also be able to alt+right click > always on top [11:57] dhruvasagar: bottom right i mean [11:58] jrib: but what about the window size ?

[12:02] *thanks [12:02] no [12:02] astropirate: but you want to manually start it by logging in and typing a command? [12:02] astropirate: then you should use nohup [12:03] hmm i want it to stay running even if i'm not SSHed in [12:03] i'm trying to figure out how to make it auto start on system reboot [12:03] but its a VPS [12:03] and odn' thave access to the startup process file [12:03] astropirate: that's fine and you can use either type "disown" at the end of your command, use nohup as dhruvasagar suggests, use tmux, or use screen. But usually people just have these processes start at boot [12:03] but I haven't had to reboot yet so thats not an issue yet [12:04] astropirate: for autostart on system reboot, you can use cron. for ensuring it is still running when you quit ssh, use nohup before your command. [12:05] astropirate, You need so has a static server and you need public key certification tu run a ssh tunnel that runs at startup [12:05] Younder, the vps people have take care of all of that [12:06] Its a Joyant smartmachine for node.js incase you were wondering [12:06] its free :D [12:06] Younder, don't count on it.

The new one may have gone by default to /usr/local/bin, and probably you are getting the original version in /usr/bin. You might want to uninstall the original (aptitude remove openssl); if that breaks stuff, re-make the new openssl with more conventional paths. [12:25] damn! Gwibber...

[14:08] rblst: with hardware acceleration off, its even worse [14:08] actually I should restart after the sys updates [14:08] ill be back if i still have the issue [14:08] thanks for the help nullisnil ^^ [14:09] but my 2.3ghz i5 and my geforce 425m is more then enough to run flash :/ .. it worked fine in windows [14:09] zykotick9_, erik1984: but in my experience, alternative flash plugins are even worse [14:09] auronandace, for 64bit it's working... and that's what flashplugin-nonfree installs on Debian (I don't understand why that's not happening on Ubuntu?!) - but yes, i think your right [14:09] rblst, gnash doesn't even come close to adobe's compatibility [14:09] anyone else have massive display problems running vmware player under unity? [14:10] nsq: That's what I'm saying Adobe does more effort to get Flash working in Windows. [14:10] I'd like to google for problems, but unity is such an overloaded term when it comes to Ubuntu vs. VMware :) [14:13] mbeierl, why use VMWare (proprietary / closed source software) when there are better Open Source alternatives (/msg ubottu vbox) available? Good luck. [14:13] what are you doing with us, mark?? [14:14] zykotick9_: vmware has afaik better 3d support. [14:14] nsq, you must be kidding [14:14] zykotick9_: because I already have the images set up for vmware. I also use vmware workstation which has far superior cloning operations to vbox. [14:14] I installed 11.04 and I think I vomited [14:14] Is there any channel on here for discussion steam related issues? [14:14] I know that feeling Joric [14:14] Joric: that bad? [14:15] Or wine related issues [14:15] Joric, you're best option is, find a different distro. But if you want to stick to Ubuntu see "/msg ubottu classic" to get back to Gnome [14:15] wh1zz0: /join #winehq [14:17] Is there a way to alias one dns for another, so I could have my client system recognize 'home' to be the same as 'blahblah.dyndns.org'? [14:18] martian: add an entry to /etc/hosts [14:18] If I were to simply set up a /etc/hosts entry, that would just point to a specific IP though, right? [14:18] martian, do you have the dns nameserver settings in /etc/resolv.conf ? [14:18] martian: what client? [14:19] i have a switchabe graphic card (ATI 5470 + Intel) i installed the catalyst driver, and seems to work, but in some occasions the server x crash and restart, where can i find the log? thank you [14:19] jrib: I'm on 11.04. For example, it would be nice to simply "ssh home" from the cl [14:19] BluesKaj: I don't really know much about the magic that happens in resolv.conf. Perhaps it's time to learn? [14:21] martian: you want to be able to ssh to your machine from any other client? [14:21] martian, that depends on whether you use network manager or not ... I'm sure NM can be setup not to overwrite the namserver stting resolv.conf , but i haven't looked into that [14:22] somsip_: I have a dyndns set up which works fine. I can ssh to my home system at ease. I just thought it would be _nice_ to be able to alias a longer dns to a shorter one [14:23] martian: I came across something like that but I have to find where, it saves your login passcode and such but you need to set it up on both ends for that. It was an advanced security login for ssh [14:23] martian: you want to be able to type 'ssh home' at any other client instead of (say) 'ssh home.mydyndns.org'? [14:24] somsip_: right, but if I simply alias 'home' to my actual home IP in hosts, it won't work if my home IP changes [14:25] so it's almost like I would want something in the guttyworks to sed 'home' for 'blah.dyndns.org' [14:26] Maybe not possible. Just a curiosity; seemed slow in here so thought it would be a good time to ask ;) [14:26] martian: well, i'd just go with a bash alias... [14:26] is the "advanced installer" (alt iso) included on the standard iso? [14:26] lagrande: no [14:27] Afternoon guys, apologies for cross posting, it looks like #kubuntu is pretty much asleep or all at work at the moment. [14:27] somsip_: yeah, but then other services (http, mail, etc) wouldn't work... ya know, I suppose the simplest solution would be to just set up a hosts entry and just deal with the IP change every few months :) [14:27] Is it normal in Natty that progress bars in many programs take e.g. 50% of CPU? [14:27] Good Morning / Afternoon, I need your help installing JAVA, I am following this tutorial http://goo.gl/AMOeA The problem is JAVA is not recognized -> update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for java. [14:27] I need some help with grub2 - I need to edit my config manually, since I have about 40 entries in my grub list right now, but the file I thought I should be editing, /boot/grub/grub.cfg, tells me it shouldn't be edited. [14:28] How do I manually config grub in that case? [14:28] Pici: thanks [14:28] Does anyone had problems updating lately? [14:28] gregory_, dont think so [14:29] BarkingFish: either /etc/default/grub or the files in /etc/grub.d/ === katja is now known as Guest69610 [14:29] Okay i had it since the last update from certificate blacklist [14:29] !grub2 | BarkingFish [14:29] BarkingFish: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic).

[14:35] hi guys, why the heck is apt-get autoremove suggesting me to remove rpm? [14:37] hmm.. maybe cause ubuntu isn't basicely a rpm based distro? [14:37] gregory_: why do I have it to begin with then? I don't remember getting it specifically [14:38] rullie: that's the whole idea of 'autoremove' [14:38] rullie: it removes packages once installed because of some dependency [14:39] somsip_: wow, that's nifty. Thanks! [14:39] hello [14:39] martian: np. Looks better than a manual edit :) [14:40] is possible to view fonts in ubuntu like xp? [14:40] somsip_: yeah, that would likely become a nuisance... or I could just be less lazy about typing =D [14:40] martian: auomation is good. Prevents those 'why has this suddenly stopped working!' moments... [14:41] somsip_: very true. What's funny is when a year down the line you can't for the life of you remember WHY it works [14:42] in windows everything looks sharper, why not in lunux? [14:42] martian: indeed. Anyway - I hope it helps [14:44] So, unrelated to my previous question: I have a remote system mounted via sshfs, and on that remote system I have a symlink for /var/www in my home directory called www. The problem is that when I navigate that filesystem from this remote system, the www symlink points to my local /var/www [14:44] RussW: in the xth month of 2012 [14:45] jewBUnti [14:46] martian: would a hard link instead of a ln -s make any difference? [14:47] somsip_: well, I guess this is one of those things that in my few years of being a mediocre linux user I have always just accepted and moved past: whenever I try to hard link a directory, I am told "ln: `/var/www': hard link not allowed for directory" [14:48] martian: can't say I've used them myself, but I get the feeling there might be some advantage in this situation. Maybe worthy of more research? === cheater is now known as nauke [14:49] google time! Like I said, it's quiet in here for some reason, so figured I'd babble =D === nauke is now known as rnauke [14:50] martian: hard links are not generally permitted for directories to avoid an infinite-loop when resolving them :-) [14:51] martian: some filesystems permit them, but it's considered poor practise. [14:51] is there any way to disable maximize on a specific program? [14:52] sipior: That's what I'm gathering from searching. So, any idea how to resolve the problem I am having in which a mounted filesystem which contains symlink is being interpreted as if it pointed to a path on my local filesystem? [14:52] hey i am a newbee in this ubuntu invironment [14:52] can somebodey tell me how to install sound card drivers [14:53] everytime I maximize a window, compiz segfaults in libc-2.13.so Any idea? [14:53] martian: sorry, i missed the earlier information. where's the symlink pointing? can you pastebin the relevant output from ls -l? === junkotux is now known as yournewnickname [14:54] can somebodey tell me how to instlal alc268 sound driver in ubuntu === an is now known as Guest64685 [14:54] rullie: feel free to submit a bug report [14:54] !bug | rullie [14:54] rullie: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [14:55] owner, id have thought itd be built in [14:55] ???? [14:55] martian: actually, if i read your question correctly, what you describe is exactly the expected behaviour for a symlink. where do you want it to point instead? [14:55] sipior: I digress. Per usual, answer found via google AFTER asking in IRC. I needed follow_symlinks in my fstab entry for this sshfs mounted system.

[15:27] the pooling file servers can be set up for different types of file transfers [15:28] SNSK, i understand that Join Air uses wvdial which is essentially the same as pon/poff [15:28] you guys need an "oracle person" [15:28] william_, well i suppose that would make sense seeing as this is an issue persistant between windoze and ubuntu.

[15:36] chamunks: well, freenas is perfectly fine, of course. but this zfs implementation does support deduplication. [15:36] sipior, I've been loving my freenas experience especially because of its single page conf and simple access to being able to create iscsi targets [15:36] !sensors [15:36] To access CPU temperature sensors and detect fan speeds, install the lm-sensors package. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto for installation and usage instructions.

SIFTU might have some ideas in that regard, though. you'll probably want to move to #ubuntu-offtopic, though, as this is a bit far afield for this channel :-) [15:44] SIFTU, that could show benefits and caveats if you're concerned about space over speed and visa versa [15:44] hi I've just installed ubuntu for the first time and using the package manager have installed Samba 1.2.63-0ubuntu4 (system-config-samba), but I'm unsure how to configure this to view my windows folder, any starter help would be appreciated :) [15:44] william_, i have os9, osx, and 4 ubuntu 10.x machines [15:44] chamunks: very much so.. but I have seen dedup on zfs make the filesystem hang for 30+ seconds [15:44] sipior, this is true [15:45] chamunks: pm me if you want to know more [15:45] SIFTU, want to pm me or #ubuntu-offtopic [15:45] ok [15:45] and you are having hardware issues with a new machine on ubuntu..not any other os? [15:46] yep .. i even got osx on to this little aspire one [15:46] but it ran like crap because of the video hardware [15:46] If /boot is installed on USB stick are there any issues with removing the drive after the system is up? [15:46] Is there any support for dead slow X of Natty? [15:47] subterfuge, shouldnt be [15:48] gentoo-intel: thanks, do you know if /boot is ever accessed for any reason after the system is up and running? such as during updates? [15:48] subterfuge, kernel updates [15:49] gentoo-intel: so /boot should be remounted before any updates [15:49] subterfuge, but other than that its fine. a lot of people have /boot on seperate partition and unmount it anyway [15:49] subterfuge, you can do, but if its needed the updates will prob fail anyway it shouldnt break anything [15:50] hmmm odd ... i cant find any mention of the KP [15:50] hello ... [15:50] How can i fix this problem ? : http://pastebin.com/XY1hZULK [15:50] gentoo-intel: can't thank you enough for your time, I had googled but was unclear as to where I stood... Have a great day [15:51] when i boot a laptop with the 11.04 cd, the touchpad acts weird: the pointer jiggles around if i'm touching the touchpad. this doesn't happen in windows xp. what's the difference? [15:52] leave [15:53] "You're not even casting Leave! You're just saying the word!" [15:53] hmekh: Does any click stop it? [15:53] How to detect process, that use hard disk most intencive? [15:53] chuckle [15:54] Houdini: iotop -o [15:54] Houdini, iotop [15:54] qin: thanks [15:54] Hi all, anyone know what might be causing my samba share for my home dir to be limited to one client at a time? [15:54] if a client losses they're computer(hdd dies or w/e) and they have stored data on an sftp with rsa authentication, can they're stored data still be accessed without their .priv key? *still doesnt understand RSA* [15:55] hello , anyone knows if is there an userscripts channel? [15:55] qin: pressing either button doesn't stop it. tapping the touchpad makes the pointer freeze for a moment, but then once it goes back to normal, the jiggling resumes [15:56] dori922: "they're" ? [15:56] hmekh: It is propably bug, you updated? [15:56] i downloaded it two days ago, so it must be updated [15:56] dori922, yes you can ... the sftp will fall back to a password in the absence of rsa keys [15:56] *their [15:57] giggles: ah :P thanks [15:57] no problem .. i had the same problem with my server when i redid my phone [15:58] hi, looking to see if anyone knows how to fix a suspend/resume issue on acer one 721...I am using joli os which is based on ubuntu remix... [15:58] Is 'xv' available for ubuntu? If so, what package do I need to install to get it? [15:58] I can't seem to find it using apt-file search [15:58] laanan, does it sleep when you unplug it? [15:59] I think no [15:59] hey all, quick question. How to i Restart Windows X [15:59] giggles: doesnt that remove the reason for RSA keys though? (to increase security by removing passwords) [15:59] nuclearworm, userscripts for what application? [15:59] hmekh: "jumpy cursor" gave 3 different bug in 3 top search results, what is your machine? [15:59] A_J: "Windows" X? you mean just the X server? "sudo service gdm restart" should do it [16:00] giggles, I have been trying to figure out how to get into the bios, since some people have had success with disabling usb legacy... [16:00] !synapticks | hmekh [16:00] dori922, no...the client falls back to using clear text passwords, not the server [16:00] dori922, it's more a convience from what i've read .... nothing for people to forget [16:00] dlyneswork , thanks already got it was searching for greasemonkey [16:00] laanan, f2 at boot [16:00] !synaptics | hmekh [16:00] hmekh, please see my private message [16:00] tried it [16:00] hmekh: right ;) [16:00] I will try again....any other 'fixes' out there? [16:01] mbeierl: thank you [16:01] dori922: unless the files were encrypted with the key, the files should still be accessible to the system administrator of the sftp server, regardless of the authentication algorithm... [16:01] dlyneswork: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ should help. [16:01] dlyneswork: xv is quite old…probably best to look at other options. plus, i think the author may still charge for it? hard to believe, but... [16:02] but I've no idea what xv is [16:02] mbeierl, thank you for the better answer .. :) mine was quite underinformed [16:02] sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop will get rid of unity and install xfce? [16:02] qin: link your search? [16:02] sipior, yeah...it's just my favorite image indexer...is there another tool that does a similar job, and that's fairly lightweight? [16:02] haccker: no, just install xfce [16:02] Pumpkin-: a very old image display and manipulation program. i imagine the gimp beats in just about every way nowadays, but it was quite popular in the 90's. [16:03] xangua: it will load xfce by default right? [16:03] sipior, I just want to generate some thumbnails of images in certain directories, and find the image sizes, so that I can determine what images suit my purposes for a given project [16:03] haccker: select what you want from your login screen [16:03] dlyneswork: ImageMagick sounds like a good fit. or the GIMP. [16:03] sipior, and I dont' want to create an album in the process [16:04] sipior, ImageMagick has a standalone viewer? [16:04] kde at one time had a feature to make html/image thumbnail pages.. :) not seen that feature in ages... heh. [16:04] dlyneswork: it does, yep. [16:04] sipior, Gimp has something similar with a plugin, but I couldn't view multiple thumbnails at once [16:05] thanks all :P just another quick q. i selected samba server when i was installing my Ubuntu server, do i need to do other configureation? (i have a few samba guides to follow already just not sure which point the pre-installed samba is at) [16:05] sipior, what's the tool called from imagemagick, then? [16:05] hmekh: http://goo.gl/Ofaa4 and http://goo.gl/AdQRY [16:06] dlyneswork: the display tool is just "display". there's an entire set, but the most useful are probably "convert", "identify" and "display". [16:06] some googling turned up how to build it from source, but ugh. http://www.ulich.org/hints/xv_ubuntu.html. Couple of years out of date, hopefully will still work for you. YMMV etc. [16:06] thanks [16:07] sipior, thanks [16:08] anyone uses google enhanced black script for greasemonkey? do you started to have a problem with the color of the searched words? i mean if the searched word are black as the background and one cannot see them? [16:09] Pumpkin-, thanks....seems imagemagick doesn't do thumbnail previews of multiple images at once [16:09] giggles: np. I thought he might need to be re-assured that regardless, the file content was still there even if the RSA key was a hard requirement at the sftp server :) [16:10] dlyneswork, sure it does http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/thumbnails/ [16:10] dlyneswork: you know, if you're just looking for thumbnail previews, the nautilus file browser does that just fine. [16:11] dlyneswork: nautilus can also hook-in scripts, so you might be able to bend it to your needs. [16:11] sipior, yeah, but it's a huge heavy beast [16:11] yeah, and more goolging suggets it was at least once shareware (but that page is from 1999). So check the license in the sources. [16:11] Pumpkin-, yeah, it was shareware [16:11] dlyneswork: heavy beast? is that modern speak for "i don't like using it"? :-) [16:12] dlyneswork: i mean, you're probably not using this on a computer from 1998, so heavy is a bit of a relative concept. [16:13] sipior, I'm already low on memory...If I had to use nautilus or evolution, I couldn't do my job [16:13] hello guys [16:13] sipior, Our application that we're developing uses 3.2GB's of RAM, so I've got about 200MB's free to run eclipse [16:14] I am trying to run two commands from one .desktop file [16:14] dlyneswork: well, fair enough. [16:14] simply: sleep 10; firefox [16:14] but it does not seem to run [16:14] sipior, and it's way too much work to port the app to 64-bit at the moment [16:16] Hey, I got a problem with a soft Raid 5, I lost a drive and now it just shows the remaining 3 (of 4) drives as "spares" in /proc/mdstat. How can I make this raid active again? [16:16] Pumpkin-, thanks muchly...I haven't been able to find anything quite as useful as the visual schnauzer anywhere else :0 [16:16] Bogus8: do you mean you lost one partition? [16:17] misaq: nope... whole drive is dead, doesn't even show in bios. [16:17] http://paste.ubuntu.com/688434/ Is there any easy solution to that? [16:17] Bogus8: that's bad. I one had a research on RAID in university. but I don't know much of soft RAID [16:18] misaq: well, this is what the raid 5 is for. If one drive goes down then I should be able to keep rolling. But the whole system froze and then when I finally got it back up the raid isn't assembled any longer. [16:19] Bogus8: do you use ubuntu? [16:20] misaq: yep, ubuntu server... I forget the version... might be 8 or 9 [16:20] Bogus8: can you pastebin the output of mdadm -D? [16:20] sure [16:21] Hello. Such is the problem. When you download the file to your computer, changes the size of the file. Proftpd server. Filezilla client. In what may be the problem? [16:21] sipior: No pastebin needed... "mdadm: md device /dev/md0 does not appear to be active." [16:21] Bogus8: and mdadm -q? [16:21] File with the extension *. bat [16:22] Bogus8: I think you can go through the reinstallation with the setup disk until you come to the stage of partitioning. maybe you can repair your raid there. do you think this will be good? [16:22] Bogus8: sorry, -Q [16:22] sipior: basically the same. [16:22] hold [16:22] sipior: same [16:23] Bogus8: and what error do you get when you try to assemble it? [16:23] sipior: here is my cat /proc/mdstat http://pastebin.com/xPrzLxF4 [16:23] sipior: let me double check... I walked away from it in frustration the other day. [16:25] Nobody encountered this problem? === lol is now known as Lehrling [16:26] sipior: sorry phone call [16:26] dname: it could be converting cr/lf to just cr [16:26] Bogus8: no worries. [16:26] dname: ie: not using binary mode, but text mode, [16:27] dname: one of the many reasons that ftp should die. :) [16:27] sipior: it's not finding any configurations for it... even though it's in mdadm.conf [16:27] I'll pastebin that [16:27] dr_willis and then how to solve this problem? :) [16:28] dname: use binary mode.. if that is the issue [16:28] dname: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/FtpMustDie [16:28] dname: best answer. would be to not use ftp at all. but use ssh. :) [16:28] dr_willis: thanks for that link :-) [16:28] installed 11.04 on an encrypted LVM file system, How do it resize the ' / ' dir ? without Fing up my encrypted data ( I want to expand it by 5GB) [16:29] sipior: its an amuseing link with a lot of OLD skool info in it. [16:29] dr_willis I can not understand. How to upload files via FTP: ( [16:29] dname: depends on the client. [16:29] get or put command for the cli versions. :) [16:29] т.е через SSH [16:29] ie via SSH [16:29] what program will enable me to connect to a Windows sErver 2008 via ubuntu GNOME [16:30] sipior: http://pastebin.com/qSP3veeg [16:30] like RDP [16:30] dname: with ssh, you would use the scp command as needed [16:31] hi guys.. trying to install latest ubuntu .. when it comes to the partition stuff.. all the button are grayed out [16:31] gparted sees the partitions and have set them up there.. but it doesnt show it in the installer [16:31] any help would be greatfully recieved [16:31] Bogus8: did you fail the device out of the raid when it died? [16:32] new partition table add change delete and revert all grayed out [16:32] do you know any other ways to reboot computer (I know about reboot, restart commands)? [16:32] stmaher: you set them up in gparted, then rebooted? sometimes it takes a reboot for the kernel to see the changes [16:32] dr_willis didnt reboot.. will try.. thank you ! [16:33] exit [16:33] anyone able to help me with this, http://paste.ubuntu.com/688434/ ? [16:33] hey, are there any alternatives to unity that still provide the same amount of vertical space? i love the fact that i only have one menu bar rather than two bars, but the rest of it is a little difficult to use and occasionally buggy [16:34] also, something that'll solve this issue with popup information panels (especially in eclipse) extending into the "dead space" under my primary monitor and across monitor boundaries would be nice [16:34] Escherial: theres global menu packages that do that menu in the main bar feature. [16:35] Escherial: but ive not used them in ages.. personally i dont like the global menu [16:35] dr_willis: you're referring to packages for specific programs that allow them to use the global menu bar for unity? [16:35] yeah, the global menu is odd, but the savings on screen real estate are significant... [16:35] there were tools that did the same thing as the global menu befor unity even came out [16:35] ah, i see [16:35] Escherial: not for me. :) i always fullscreen my apps anyway [16:36] lol fullscreen [16:36] dr_willis Solved the problem of an easy way:) changed my ftp client. === muneeb is now known as Guest81690 [16:36] maximizing is okay, fullscreening not for linux [16:36] there were at one time some addons for the panel that gave you a title bar, controls, and a menu in the panel. [16:36] fullscreening is linuxian's best enemy, especially for games [16:36] you can't even alt tab :/ [16:37] Calinou: cant say ive ever noticed the problem. :) [16:37] then again. i cant recall the last game i played in linux other then zsnes. [16:37] sipior: sorry a customer came in. I didn't have a chance. It locked the entire system up and what you see is what I got when I finally got it to come back. === Guest81690 is now known as iam [16:38] sipior: It would take forver to boot and I finally pulled it out of fstab and commented it out of mdadm.conf for it to work. Since then I've added them back to mdadm.conf but not fstab since the device isn't coming up anyway. [16:38] hi there people [16:39] hi, I'm stuck at Login Screen. Whenever I enter my password, the screen goes blank for some seconds and again I see the Login screen. But I'm able to login to another user [16:39] Bogus8: i didn't see an array listing in the mdadm.conf you pasted, actually. if you specify the component devices with --assemble, does it at least construct the array? [16:40] sipior: let me try... this mdadm stuff gets so fuzzy because I don't use it very often (only when building a new server or when something breaks) :( [16:40] Bogus8: yeah, i know the feeling... [16:40] sipior: I finally learned to take notes when building/configuring a server so I can repeate it. :) [16:41] iam: That almost always means permissions problem somewhere in the users home directory [16:42] genii-around, how do I reset the configuration then? [16:43] I need some help with my ubuntu instalation i have instaled 11.04 and dont know why but my dark colors look like this http://www.image-share.com/ipng-922-116.html see the purple as some undefined parts, other prob is like u see on image too Docky as that dark part on the left side and only disappear if i change user and enter again [16:43] Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me repair my Windows registry via Ubuntu, as I'm unable to load Windows and the information I've found online is incredibly outdated [16:43] genii-around, i'm logged in with other account and I have root access. I just want to reset my account without losing data [16:44] sipior: Ok, that returns "mdadm: /dev/md0 assembled from 3 drives - not enough to start the array while not clean - consider --force." [16:44] iam: If problemmatic login name is for instance "fred" then: sudo chown -R fred: /home/fred [16:44] go ahead and use force? [16:44] Bogus8: okay, good. no, don't use force yet. [16:44] roger [16:45] genii-around, okay.. I'l try that [16:45] Bogus8: now see what mdadm -D says. === johnny is now known as Guest24051 [16:45] Hello, I want to know if there is someone who knows how to deactive the translucent selection rectangle in Ubuntu Natty... [16:45] sipior: same [16:46] iam: Also what is result of: ls -l /home/fred/.Xauthority ( but substitute for "fred" accordingly) [16:46] Calinou, blame the window manager, there are those who do it without surrendering all focus [16:46] Bogus8: and mdadm --query? [16:46] Wow, this is a large channel. [16:46] same [16:46] genii-around, wait a sec. I'll paste it when i get in there [16:46] please i really need help [16:47] Can anyone help me migrate from wubi? I started using it originally and now I've installed too much software and need more space [16:47] can some experient ubuntu user check it fro me please [16:47] !ask | mexia [16:47] mexia: 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. :-) [16:47] !helpme | mexia [16:47] mexia: Avoid following your questions with a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on.

[16:47] Bogus8: have you already replaced the dead disk? [16:48] do u check the purple backgrounf [16:48] mexia: There is no problem? [16:48] sipior: I just pulled it for the time being... was causing retarded slow boot times [16:48] dont u see that the colors ar not defined [16:48] hmm... ccsm and ubuntu classic (11.04) doesn't work that well together do they? [16:48] mexia: Have you considered that it may be part of the picture? [16:48] arvut: How so? They should work just fine [16:48] mexia, where should I be looking? [16:48] Bogus8: can you fail the device out with mdadm /dev/md0 -f /dev/sda1 (or whatever)? [16:49] thats what i wanted to know [16:49] sipior: though I do have another 500gig drive laying around that I can pop in when time comes [16:49] nills. [16:49] sipior: I will try [16:49] i want u to look to down left side of pic [16:49] genii-around, is that OK with Xauthority? [16:49] Hi guys,, trying to install ubuntu however all the buttons are grayed out at allocate disk space time.. [16:49] mexia, its black [16:49] u see the purple and a darker one but they dont seem to be defined like a normal pic would do [16:49] yeah [16:49] Tried gparted which works and rebooted .. same problem [16:49] anyone any ideas please? [16:49] mexia: the colors look fine to me, only that graphical glitch near the dock [16:49] Can anyone help me migrate from wubi? I started using it originally and now I've installed too much software and need more space. I figure its probably easiest to move away from wubi and get an actual partition [16:50] yeah [16:50] sipior: "mdadm: cannot get array info for /dev/md0" [16:50] ok so about the dock can i do something sbout thts [16:50] it apears always i go to the preferences [16:50] Bogus8: hmm. alright, time to use the --force option to get it running. [16:50] ModusPwnens: There is a way trough LVPM, but it's deprecated. Your only current idea is to reinstall [16:50] theadmin: I tried to enable rotating cube (used to have a 6 sided sphere on my old desktop, this laptop had issues with it in the past tho, but never like this).. now its only one desktop (I can still see the other 4 but not change workspace) and the terminals are fixed to certain positions and not moveable [16:50] sipior: roger [16:50] mexia, do what about what? [16:50] mexia, I'm still not seeing it.. [16:50] iam: Yes, thats fine [16:51] the dark spot near the dock [16:51] Im guessing this might be a bug at install time [16:51] nils: I think he means that black space left of the dock [16:51] Bogus8: it should only need to be assembled for that information; not sure why it won't query properly. [16:51] genii-around, the chown command will change the group of every file/dir. and I have some dirs there with other groups. then is it ok to execute that command? [16:51] thats not from the bar it apears when i open preferences and only disappear when u change user [16:51] sipior: it assembled [16:51] theadmin: Is there a way to keep all of my software? I don't want to lose any of the things I installed :( [16:51] iam: In that case, no [16:52] genii-around, then what should I do? [16:52] Bogus8: okay, now (crossing fingers), see if --query see the devices. then fail out the bad one (-f) and remove it (-r) [16:52] iam: For the moment then, omit the -R part [16:52] ModusPwnens: There is a way, but I don't exactly remember [16:52] !automate [16:52] Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html - See also !cloning [16:52] Not that...

[18:24] Travis-42: wmctrl would be better than gird for it, there is also "place" plugin in compiz, but never got it to do what I wanted. [18:24] ssk_the_gr8, do players like vlc or mplayer still play the MP4 files? [18:24] qin: I didnt think wmctrl working with compiz.. does for metacity [18:25] qin, according to wmctrl's homepage it doesn't support compiz. SIFTU yes it works in metacity. [18:25] zykotick9_: the problem is i can play some mp4 files, and i cant play a few others... very confusing [18:25] How do I get into Gparted in unity? [18:25] battlehands: super key [18:25] then type gparted [18:26] ssk_the_gr8, super key? [18:26] zykotick9_, SIFTU: noted, thx. [18:26] battlehands: windows key [18:27] ssk_the_gr8, when I do that, nothing is displayed under 'gparted; [18:27] I have had trouble with this version of ubuntu ever since I installed it [18:28] battlehands: sudo apt-get install gparted [18:28] battlehands: it isn't installed by default [18:28] Hello, Does anyone have a suggestion on which program to use to secure my IRC connection? .. Mainly so I don't show my ip address .. [18:28] Thanks [18:29] auronandace, E: Invalid operation gparted [18:29] arowana, get a cloak, don't ask me how - try #freenode perhaps [18:29] is it possible to turn off the numerical switch (Num-Key) on my keyboard from ubuntu? [18:29] battlehands: did you type what i did? [18:29] zykotick9_: thanks I just need keywords to google, I'll work the rest out. :) [18:30] !anonymity: arowana [18:30] arowana: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks [18:30] auronandace, I made a mistake [18:30] :/ [18:30] zykotick9_: can u think of a solution, why am i facing this issue? [18:30] hello [18:30] is totem broken because of an update or is it something else? [18:30] !info envstat [18:30] Package envstat does not exist in natty [18:30] auronandace, I need to add a NTFS partition, how do I do that? [18:30] ssk_the_gr8, my guess is because you're using Totem (a sub-par media player), and you didn't answer my vlc/mplayer question - so i really don't know [18:31] !partitioning | battlehands [18:31] battlehands: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [18:32] my X crash when i move some icons or images, appear a black screen full of code and ther X restart, how do I visualize this text to check the error? [18:32] Is there any package like envstat in Ubuntu which is used in unixes/NetBSD probably? [18:32] anyone know how to screen-share an ubuntu screen from a mac? [18:32] in0cula, check log in /var/log/Xorg.0.log perhaps? [18:33] its: teamviewer? [18:33] i'll google it [18:33] Hello. I installed an nvidia card alongside my on-board graphics, then installed the drivers. I then followed instructions online to get it working, and now I can't even run GDM. [18:33] i check there but there is not the code I view in the crash screen [18:33] its: you might check out x2go also [18:33] Natty includes a decent VNC server. [18:33] in0cula, try dmesg perhaps? [18:34] r000t: you'll struggle to use two video cards like that [18:34] System-->Preferences-->Remote Desktop. [18:34] r000t: you'll need to run two totally seperate Xorg sessions and using something like xinerama to span both monitors [18:34] ikonia: the goal isn't to use two cards, I just want to use the nvidia card. I have to make it soley use the on board, else it enters a reboot loop [18:34] Use OS X's "screen sharing" client to connect to it. Done. [18:34] what If I dont see Manually edit partition table when trying to add a partition? [18:34] r000t: can you disable the onboard in the bios ? [18:35] ikonia: I can make it not the primary, but that makes it enter a reboot loop where it does not even get past GRUB [18:35] yes I think here is the log, THANK YOU, let you knoe [18:35] r000t: the video card should not change the booting at all, [18:35] r000t: you wont to use the onboard or the nvidia.. did you try blackisting the module you didnt want [18:35] r000t: the only thing it should/could change would be the display [18:35] r000t: the machine should still boot [18:36] SIFTU: how do I do that without risking permanent damage to the install? [18:36] ikonia: if I make the nvidia the primary, it gets to grub, spits out a few lines, then POSTS, then enters grub, spits out a few lines, then POSTS, etc [18:36] r000t: that suggests a hardware issue [18:36] r000t: oh, so it doesnt even load the kernel [18:36] r000t: either a failure or an incompatability with the intel one at the same time [18:36] zykotick9_: i'm on a a very slow /limited connection cant download software :( [18:37] ikonia: and when I ran something called nvidia-configure, now I can't even get to GDM on the main card [18:37] the nvidia card is no longer in the box at the moment [18:37] ssk_the_gr8, sorry i don't have any suggestions for you - good luck. [18:37] ssk_the_gr8, have a look at medibuntu.org [18:37] r000t: that's just display issues, I'm more concerned by the fact that it won't boot with the nvidia card in [18:37] r000t: confused.. its it loading the kernel and getting to grub? [18:37] r000t: the display issue is easy to fix [18:37] SIFTU: grub is before the kernel [18:38] r000t: just remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf [18:38] SIFtU, I'm past all that :P [18:38] ikonia: um I know.. but he was talking about GDM [18:38] SIFTU: so obviously the kernel loads and grub loads [18:38] well I don't know [18:38] guys please someone help me [18:38] I only see a flash of text after I press F1 to get past the floppy error [18:38] SIFTU, Im in ubuntu server edition and I have my mac sitting right next to it. [18:38] I had to install some extras from medibuntu to get support for all the codecs I wanted to use. [18:38] with aptitude, the package list, and the key p,A,v,i etc [18:38] Hello! [18:39] r000t: use the"recovery mode on the grub line to get into the recovery shell then remove the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf as SIFTU has suggested [18:39] I'm using x64 if that matters [18:39] okay [18:39] if a package has 'pi' next to it, what does this mean [18:39] * LarrySteeze wants to know if he can ask a stupid newbie question [18:39] I'll try that and be right back [18:39] I'm on the box right now so I can just do that in another tty [18:39] Larry, don't ask to ask. Just ask. :) [18:39] haha ok [18:39] ikonia: well some of the info wasnt suggesting that.. I was trying to clarify [18:40] SIFTU: I understand [18:40] <_cb> What do you recommend for running an XP virtual machine in Ubuntu? (Saw positive comments for Virtualbox but libvirt comes with Ubuntu Server) [18:40] well, I have no problem connecting via ethernet, but I can't seem to figure out how to connect to a wifi network, or if my install is even catching the wifi nic [18:40] zykotick9_: thanx for the help [18:40] mmm I think isn't even there [18:40] _cb, VB is rather easy. [18:40] where i can check [18:40] _cb, libvirt + kvm REQUIRES your CPU to have virtualation suppor [18:41] <_cb> does libvirt do anything that VB does not do? [18:41] _cb, I've used virtualbox a few times and find it works pretty well. [18:41] in0cula, i don't have any other suggestions - good luck [18:41] For day-to-day use, I use VMware Workstation myself. [18:41] (which is not free) [18:41] _cb, it's better for server stuff [18:41] thx anyway [18:41] <_cb> K Virtualbox it is. Thanks! [18:41] Blender's running really slow on my computer (11.04) [18:42] I think it's compiz slowing it down [18:42] what do I have to change to fix it? [18:42] i/o error when trying to copy something from trash.. [18:42] frankie`n, to rule out compiz, use classic without compiz [18:42] never mind, I think I figured it out [18:42] it's a 40gb virtual machine, i need to get it out of trash [18:42] LarrySteeze, look for a menu in the upper right that shows two up/down arrows. Check in there to see if it mentions wireless networks. [18:42] guys, how can a package be purge and installed at the same time ??!! [18:43] Tixos, even if you remove/uninstall stuff, it's still going to be listed in "dpkg -l" [18:43] Tixos: no [18:43] B0g4r7: I figured it out...I needed to go into System > Administration > Additional Drivers [18:43] ah [18:43] it says 'pi' in the first column [18:44] why? [18:44] I'm surprised standard broadcom drivers don't come vanilla [18:44] Tixos: Try apt-get install -f [18:44] Tixos, p: Purge (marked for purging) [18:44] no change [18:44] example.. [18:44] pi ruby1.8 [18:45] Now, if only I could figure out how to apply sudo to real life... [18:45] hello guys [18:45] a [18:45] hello, i have a problem with my ubuntu, this keeps hanging, and i have to shutdown manually...the error is this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/686729/ [18:45] i get an i/o error when trying to copy a 40gb file from trash... is there a tool out there for this? [18:45] zykotick9_: I'll try it, brb [18:45] ive been trying to figure this out: how do you run bash scripts on login? [18:45] when using unity [18:45] zykotick9_: marked for purging? how to actually purge/remove then ? [18:45] / [18:46] Tixos, not sure how you're purging, I'd think it should happen right away. [18:46] i want to remove all these packages [18:46] says they arent installed, but next to the package is 'pi' [18:46] uninstalled packages are just 'p' [18:46] I have an executable in /usr/bin/ that I want to rename with a symoblic link, but the link isn't executable [18:47] Tixos, are the packages still working on your system? [18:47] goltoof, "copy from trash" does not make a lot of sense really. The fact that you are receiving an i/o error is in no way connected with the items being copied residing "in the trash". [18:47] samuel: system setting > startup applications > add [18:47] i have no idea! zykotick9_ [18:47] ruby repos are trash in ubuntu, do not work on 1.9.1, so i have been told to remove and install from source [18:47] B0g4r7: copy from here ~/.local/share/Trash/files/.VirtualBox/ to here ~/ [18:48] B0g4r7: i get an i/o error [18:48] goltoof, what if you instead move the files? [18:48] zykotick9_: have you never come across this key for packages? [18:48] zykotick9_: I'm in clasic no effects and it works perfectly [18:48] B0g4r7: i get an i/o error in nautilus and cli [18:48] frankie`n, so - it is compiz/unity issue then. Good luck with that. [18:48] B0g4r7: no matter where i try to copy to [18:49] zykotick9_: lol thanks ;) [18:49] B0g4r7: or "move" to [18:49] goltoof, if you get an i/o error, then you might have a problem with the HD in question. [18:49] goltoof, it kind of sounds like the media the files reside on is damaged. [18:50] I have a problem. When I boot my indicator applet (Complete) gets broken and my wireless wont show up, therefore i cannot see the networks around or connect to anything? Anyone heard of this? is there another application that I can use to connect to wifi? Preferable cmd line but GUI apps will work too...Doesnt really matter to me I guess... [18:50] Hi, I just installed oneiric beta1. After the installation, I am unable to hear the audio through my laptop speakers, but if I connect my headphones, I can hear the audio. I checked the alsamixer and master, speaker are full. there is no front. What could be the issue and how to debug it? [18:50] zykotick9_: i think that's it, it's an xp vm, it was freezing the system so i reinstalled vbox.. so i guess the vm is pretty much screwed.. no way to check it's integrity? [18:50] !oneiric | lgp171188 [18:50] lgp171188: 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 === Seryth is now known as mang0 [18:50] goltoof, does "dmesg" list a bunch of I/O errors? If so, I'd start backing up whatever you can off that drive. === sevith is now known as Sevith [18:50] what is a good way of transfering files from a FTP to another bypassing my own computer? [18:51] vacho, Ftp...?... [18:51] goltoof, you can use something like ddrescue to copy all of the readable areas of the file and replace the damaged pieces with zeros. [18:51] Sevith, ... [18:51] I have a weird problem where when I do a tail -f /var/log/xxx it shows parts of it and then tells me there is no space left on device [18:51] zykotick9_: you mean my entire system?? it was only vbox that was making it freeze, system runs fine [18:51] which device is it referring to? I have 22gb left on the hdd [18:51] vacho, What do you mean you want to transfer files but bypass your computer? That doesnt make sense to me explain? :/ Maybe Im missing something [18:52] "faustisch is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported." what do I do? what is the root password? [18:52] and everything is mounted on / so there aren't any weird partitions going on [18:52] I have a problem. When I boot my indicator applet (Complete) gets broken and my wireless wont show up, therefore i cannot see the networks around or connect to anything? Anyone heard of this? is there another application that I can use to connect to wifi? Preferable cmd line but GUI apps will work too...Doesnt really matter to me I guess... [18:52] goltoof, "system runs fine" right now, but if you're getting I/O errors, it suggests problems with your hard drive. [18:52] vacho, I recall the program "FlashFXP" having that capability... [18:52] zykotick9_: only one i/o error from attempting to copy in dmesg [18:52] anyone help? [18:52] goltoof, so it's likely that where that file is located on the HD, had issues. Good luck. [18:52] However, I don't know about running FlashFXP on a linux system... [18:53] zykotick9_: what tool do i use to check integrity of the whole disk? [18:53] kuru: Can you pastebin the output of 'df -h' ? [18:53] goltoof, I would recommend using "badblocks" for that job. [18:53] i'll just dump the corrupt vm [18:53] B0g4r7: ah yes tht's the one [18:53] sudo sucks ass, I'm moving to debian, ubuntu ain't got mail either [18:53] vacho, scp can copy from any computer to another but you need ssh and ssh permissions on both computers [18:53] goltoof, look into "smart" tools, to verify the physical drive -- it could just be a filesystem issue, in which case fsck [18:54] kuru, are you going by what the manufacturer says the disc size or actual? [18:54] pici, http://pastebin.com/c9jWS25q [18:54] I have a problem. When I boot my indicator applet (Complete) gets broken and my wireless wont show up, therefore i cannot see the networks around or connect to anything? Anyone heard of this? is there another application that I can use to connect to wifi? Preferable cmd line but GUI apps will work too...Doesnt really matter to me I guess... [18:54] faustisch: Mind your language here please. [18:54] Pici, what are you? a pentecostal priest? [18:54] urlin2u, I'm saying, this really doesn't look like I'm out of space [18:54] hello gurus [18:54] got a problem [18:55] w30, I have ssh on both [18:55] Pici, I don't think faustisch wanted to insult anyone, his language was directed against a piece of software [18:55] scp [18:55] while installing ubuntu from usb on lenovo x121e [18:55] is it for ubuntu? [18:55] the isntallation hangs [18:55] !language > kkulhavy [18:55] kkulhavy, please see my private message [18:55] vacho, man scp [18:55] literally nothing happens [18:55] Hi everyone, I am having a problem with my sound on Natty. I have an on-board sound card and a graphics card with HDMI output. Sound worked fine with the onboard card until I decided to try HDMI and now I get no sound at all. I have tried all combinations of output in the sound preferences and tried connecting the speakers to different outputs. I want to get the onboard sound working and I am happy to remove the HDMI capability as I will never be connect [18:55] ing to the TV again. Thanks for any help [18:56] kuru, look at the disc with gparted or the disk manager. [18:56] kuru: That shouldn't cause any issues. Does your log say out of disk space, or is it tail itself that is giving you the error message? [18:56] urlin2u, why? [18:56] hey.... [18:56] pici, I can't tail any log files, so it's hard to tell [18:56] how would i find all rar's and extract them into differnt folde on ubuntu [18:57] No one can help me then I'm assuming. [18:57] any experts here on installing from USB-drive?? [18:57] tail: cannot watch `/var/log/syslog': No space left on device [18:58] kuru, perhaps boot a livecd and free up some space [18:58] zykotick9_, I would have to be OUT of space first to free some [19:00] kuru, and how to you interpret the message "No space left on device" exactly? [19:00] kuru: Looks like this is a bug in tail. It should be giving you a message about inotify: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/700958 [19:00] Launchpad bug 700958 in coreutils (Ubuntu) "tail -f gives misleading error message when inotify limit is reached" [Low,Triaged] [19:00] tail reports out of space? That's pretty weird. It shouldn't normally be writing anything. [19:00] Sevith, what is the release your running? [19:01] any way to check for badblocks while drive is mounted? [19:01] @goltoof fsck [19:01] zybotick9, how do you interpret this then? http://pastebin.com/c9jWS25q [19:01] urlin2u, 11.04 classic mode. I wonder if maybe the drivers are mucking up during boot? The card's an Advanced Centrino N 6200 [19:01] kuru, ummm, so it's a tail bug, interesting. Sorry, my bad. [19:02] kuru: You'd need to raise the max_user_watches level of inotify: check current using: sudo sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_watches and increase using: sudo sysctl -w fs.inotify.max_user_watches=16384 [19:02] kuru, what command are you typing exactly when that error occurs? [19:02] goltoof, on the HD? [19:02] @goltoof my bad, for bad sectors use chdsk [19:03] goltoof, yes, you can preform a read-only test on your hard drive while partitions on it are mounted. [19:03] urlin2u, Any ideas? === steve__ is now known as sbur [19:03] goltoof, sudo badblocks -vv /dev/sda [19:03] or similar [19:03] kuru, sudo rm -rf shall free some space -.- (JK dont do that it was a joke but somone will flame me) [19:03] Sevith, I see stuff on the web but boot indicator I have no idea what that is. [19:04] B0g4r7: would it be better to check from livedisk? [19:04] urlin2u, Its just an app indicator on my panel that i can connect to wireless with ease...but half the time when I boot it doesnt pop up. and wont pop up [19:04] @Sevith isnt that the command for a directory listing? [19:04] goltoof, I don't see any reason why that would be better. You could though. [19:04] rasusto, rm -rf? ....Sure... [19:04] .03% done... this will be a while [19:05] Sevith, thats a third party eh? [19:05] urlin2u, Nope. Came with ubuntu its the Indicator Applet Complete. [19:05] Sevith, no...no... some idiot will cut and paste that!! [19:05] urlin2u, Shows all the stuff that needs your "attention" [19:05] w30, I know I said it was a joke but if they think its a dir listing then sure. do it. hah :( JK i have a horrible sense of humor [19:06] Sevith, have you tweaked compiz? [19:06] B0g4r7: so it could do read/write test.. [19:06] goltoof, Well, there is that. Be aware that the write/read test is destructive. It will erase anything on the device beng tested. [19:06] urlin2u, Weird. Actualy. Compiz mucked my computer up so bad when i upgraded to 11.04 with unity. I had to unistall it. I cant even reinstall and have compiz work correctly. [19:06] B0g4r7: oic [19:06] anyone had problem with installing from USB?? [19:07] Sevith, tyope metacity --replace in the terminal, removing compiz was not a good move. [19:07] krzyhoo, Do you mean your having issues booting into the USB? [19:07] khangman no abre [19:08] urlin2u, I didnt think compiz was too critical? :( f*xr. Should I reinstall? or what? [19:08] Sevith, that command should have a 3 day waiting peroid [19:08] Sevith: let me describe. bought a fresh lenovo x121e subnotebook. Am trying to install form usb but i fail. Created a USB stick with unetbooting. On my desktopt it boots fine (with unetbootin menu etc.) on my x121e instead of unetbootin menu grub starts and after a while everything hangs... [19:08] Sevith, not sure really, compiz is actually part of unity the classic as well I suspect. === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 === KaiSforza_ is now known as KaiSforza [19:12] urlin2u, wow metacity --replace did all sorts of craziness [19:12] urlin2u, it was pretty awesome [19:13] so sevith : any clues? [19:13] ideas? [19:14] krzyhoo, Can you boot into live mode without installing with the USB? [19:15] sevith, did it help or hurt? [19:15] Vamps-Win7 : It worked like a charm GRUB2 installed nicely and found windows 7 [19:16] sevith: what do you mean? have no cd, so usb ist pretty much the onlz option [19:16] nobody got any idea about my sound problem? [19:17] krzyhoo, Thats what I mean. Have you installed it onto the USB or is this what you want? To install onto the USB? [19:17] what typeof problem === ipso is now known as vrfinside [19:17] sound has stopped working since I tried the hdmi output, [19:17] urlin2u, No go. Froze me up. Im reinstalling compiz and gonna do a few tweaks it might help if now I guess ill have to manually muck with it everytime or something [19:17] hey my touch pad is not working some body help me.. [19:18] please [19:18] sevith: no, hava a bootbale usb and want it on my laptop [19:18] sevith, you can set compiz to default I would assume even on a reinstall, you want the cube is that it? [19:19] urlin2u, Dont really care about the cube or anything too visually appealing. I just want my wireless to not break everytime I boot. hah [19:19] <_cb> If I have an XP virtual box on an Ubuntu Machine I should be able to use LTSP or No Machine to run it via thin client, correct? [19:19] sevith, that would be nice. :D [19:19] krzyhoo, If you have Ubuntu installed onto the USB Already cant you just boot into the live version and install that way? [19:19] !cloning [19:19] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [19:20] urlin2u, Ill figure this out :( But im having issues with unresolved dependencies when attempting to install compiz. Even manually installed the dependencies and i still get the error. Says something about enabling all the repositories but they are all enabled. [19:20] Does anyone know a detailled description of ubuntus software-center? Concerning up 2 date and detailed informations how a game could be purchased, which payment methods could be used (paypal ...), if I'll get a personalised deb:// for sources.list ... I'm running Kubuntu and so I can't test it by myself. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter contains many future options so I don't know what it is atm. [19:20] _cb, use ltsp in what manner? [19:21] <_cb> to run the virtual machine since it would be an app running on the server [19:22] gotto reboot well see how badly this breaks things :( [19:22] _cb, I would think that would work. I don't see why VirtualBox would not behave like any other X11 app. [19:23] _cb, I believe VirtualBox also has some provisions for "serving" the vm via VNC that you might want to explore. [19:23] hey, im following this guide for chrooting sftp: http://shapeshed.com/journal/chroot_sftp_users_on_ubuntu_intrepid/ The problem is its not working for me, SSH is blocked which is good and i can SFTP into the user, but the user can still browse thehigher up directories [19:23] <_cb> B8g4r7 wow that would be a very inexpensive way of doing what MS terminal servers or Citrix do. (Granted I don't have the admin functionality of Citrix but for a small operation, who cares) [19:24] hello, i'm trying to upgrade a xen guest from 2.6.32 to 2.6.35, it was using xen blockfront and xvd device, but on 2.6.35 that is not showing up, i tried adding the module to the ramdisk but it isn't adding it.. is it not available on 2.6.35? it works on sd device but we have software that depends on xvd device.. is it better to use xvd device, if i can't, is there some way to alias it? i was trying to in modprobe conf but i couldn't get it [19:26] _cb, yeah, I would like to explore something like that, but without "client machines" even in the picture. I envision one box with lots of video cards, ram and CPUs that has 12 (or more) sets of keyboard/mouse/display directly attached, to make 12 "stations". [19:27] You can purchase HDMI and USB cables up to 50ft long... [19:28] <_cb> B8g4r7 in the old days they called that a mainframe ;) [19:28] Yeah, heh. [19:29] Kinda like in the old days communication happened over digital lines (telegraph). After moving to an analog system for a long time, we're back to digital once again. [19:29] <_cb> I envision more of a server running multiple virtual machines and where you can access them via LTSP or No Machine any time, from anywhere, on any device [19:30] Any ideas why Ubuntu can't connect to a wifi created by macosx? all our android devices have no problem. [19:30] That's probably relatively easily doable. You'll need plenty of fast storage, ram, etc to make for a good user experience. [19:30] Pupeno: probably wifi driver problem. Have you tried making an open wifi network with the mac? [19:31] B0g4r7: Have you checked out multiseat setups for X ? [19:31] genii-around, Not yet. My envisioned project is little more than a vision right now. [19:31] B0g4r7: eg: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiseatX [19:31] tomodachi: no, let me see. [19:32] Well that looks like just what I had in mind. [19:32] _cb, that could be if Apple, Microsoft, Oracle can be prevented from the land grab concept [19:32] <_cb> B0g4r7 instead of one huge server (single point of failure) I would prefer a multiple, clustered, load balanced servers. [19:33] Help! I have a Dell630, and I don't know how to get the wireless working, and I have no access to wired connection. I'm obviously connected on another laptop. Any help? [19:33] Just installed. I tried plugging into a wired connection but it's a static IP, which I assume prevented me connecting. === Guest75230 is now known as jvoorhs === jvoorhs is now known as jvoorhis [19:33] _cb, yeah, there's definitely good things to be said of that kind of a design. Handy for that is VirtualBox's Teleport feature that can migrate a running VM from one host to another. [19:35] <_cb> B8g4r7 you can migrate a vm from one host to another. Wow that would be so cool. If a server starts to malfunction just migrate al the VM's to a working server? [19:36] excelsior: Is it dualboot to Windows? [19:36] B0g4r7: _cb: are you certain that your convo is on topic here? [19:36] _cb, that's what the documentation seems to imply. I imagine there could be a few tricky details to deal with. [19:37] Can anyone tell me why I can only boot sometimes in ubuntu. It stall with a black screen [19:37] guntbert, not that certain, no. === stanley is now known as Guest60147 [19:38] Does anyone have the same problem? [19:39] nm, got it working. Hardware switch on the side of the computer... geez [19:39] is it possible to disable the numerical switch (Num-Key) on my keyboard from ubuntu? [19:39] genii-around: yes it was [19:39] is [19:39] Kaffer: that's quite vague, it sounds like a video card issue. What card do you have?

Ha, maybe Master ISO has an errata hidden some where.

[20:22] plummerb: the operative word here is "correctly" [20:22] Bipul: look in /var/log/messages do you see an entry when you plug the drive in ? [20:22] plummerb: by default the snmp agent will answer to v2c requrests with community string "public" [20:22] Yes, correctly. The manuals give many of the arguments and directives but don't really explain hot to use them or what they do. [20:23] plummerb: the comments in /etc/snmpd.conf are also reasonably helpful. But there is so much policy going on that it is tough to know what is right for any given site. [20:23] ikonia, http://pastebin.com/psEusjkT [20:24] If I make a Complete backup with Remastersys will it work on other PC's [20:24] Bipul: is this on a virtual machine ? [20:24] plummerb: the easiest way to get started is to read through the comments in /etc/snmpd.conf and set the community string to something other than public. [20:25] Well, here is an example that I am having trouble with. When Firewall Builder attempts to fetch the ARP table from the server it gets the error, Failed to fetch ARP table from 192.168.10.1 : SNMPSession: error: End of MIB [20:25] plummerb: then try to talk to the agent using "snmpwalk -v2c -c public" [20:25] I'm trying to find a great console I was using.

[20:51] like debian does it [20:51] lebear: you just have to install GRUB to the MBR again afterwards (or alternatively you can use Windows's bootloader and EasyBCD) [20:51] hey there, Im having some trouble installing my graphics drivers [20:51] so I could do this... view systemstuff included .1.3.6 Then: rocommunity public default -V systemstuff ???? [20:51] alkafoo, oh alright, should be quite easy then. [20:51] When I try to install the drivers it says I have to end xserver [20:52] lebear: yes, the important part is to realize that even if you can't access one of your two OSes immediately afterwards, it's a simple fix [20:52] I am trying to get xserver to work on SERVER-EDITION, i.e. no desktop.... I think it is not working due to no working video drivers [20:52] plummerb: I'd expect something like that to work. Or to trim your rocommunity line down to just the .1.3.6 oid [20:52] I have installed xserver-xorg [20:52] lebear: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [20:53] Oeky Dokey, I'll give that a shot. [20:53] i have tried fglrx, xserver-xorg-video-radeon and xserver-xorg-video-ati and cant get xinit to work [20:53] perfect, that's what I was looking for. thank you :) too many not up to date guides etc out there [20:53] plummerb: the key in the vew lines is to allow different groups of managers to have visibility of different oid subtrees. [20:53] http://pastebin.com/hbcGAeej current output when I run xinit [20:53] I'd like to clone my system from a USB stick onto a new SATA SSD. Do I just need to dd the device over, or do I need to do something funny with partitions first ? [20:54] how do I exit x server? [20:54] linxeh use rsync [20:54] beached: what for? [20:54] installing graphics drivers [20:55] beached: nvidia? [20:55] yes sir [20:55] when i do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [20:55] @beached you can go to another terminal by doing CTRL+ALT+F1-F7 [20:55] it exits it [20:55] beached: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia/ [20:56] tsaknorris: thats not a bad idea, though I assumed that dd would be faster [20:56] dd will work, but you'll have space left over [20:56] alkafoo, those dont work [20:56] sure, but I can resize the partition afterwards [20:56] Well, I get a lot more lines back from snmpwalk now... [20:56] linxeh: up to you [20:56] hmmmm :) [20:56] ok thanks [20:57] lets see what happens [20:57] <_cb> What do I need to set up an Ubuntu File Server that will server Ubuntu clients only (No windows) but that will have Active Directory like functionality (assign file shares rights by groups) [20:57] Still no response from snmpwalk -Of -v1 -c public 192.168.10.1 | grep ipNetToPhysicalTable [20:57] any had any experience running ubuntu on an asus x52f or similar model laptop? [20:57] anyone* [20:57] plummerb: that's proibably because your snmpwalk can't find the mib files. [20:57] buenas tardes amigos les comento que estoy intentando reparar un disco duro con particiones ntfs usando ntfsfix pero cuando le doy el comando me salen dos errores que dicen Mounting volume... Failed to startup volume: Invalid argument. [20:57] FAILED [20:57] Attempting to correct errors... FAILED [20:57] Failed to startup volume: Invalid argument. [20:57] Volume is corrupt. You should run chkdsk. [20:57] Jordyec: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:57] probably too., [20:57] beached: Exit to login screen, then ctrl-alt-f1 and login. then sudo stop gdm. Then you can install the driver from there. When done, you sudo start gdm, logout, and then alt-f7 to return to login screen. [20:57] pueden ayudarme [20:58] ill try it genii-around [20:58] hi [20:58] Ok. So I need to configure the MIB files. [20:58] _cb, what you want is obviously SMB/CICS but it can not filter the OS... you would need to manually specify which hosts to allow or block [20:58] plummerb: if you want the symbolic oid then you need to add snmp-mibs-downloader package and comment out the mib: line in /etc/snmp/snmp.conf (note no "d") [20:59] Kartagis: hi [20:59] Yes, I already commented out that line to see if that did anything. [20:59] hi [21:00] !es | Jordyec [21:00] Jordyec: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [21:01] How can I set gksudo nautilus permanently? I want to browse as root without eroors [21:01] If there a man for the MIB files? [21:01] <_cb> julie101010 maybe I am going about this the wrong way. I imagine organizations running on Ubuntu servers use those servers to centralize, secure and manage files. How do they do it? === MoonUnit is now known as neilperry [21:01] Jordyec: you can chkdsk from a Windows install disc, or other Windows-oriented boot disc [21:01] I have a 10.04 server, and I run git to commit code. when I use Tab completion to complete git options, I get backslashes at the end of the switch, meaning a space, and then I get "fatal: remote part of refspec is not a valid name in 6.x-1.x ". any ideas? I also run two computers to access the server I run git on, and this problem occurs on one of them [21:01] s/run/use [21:01] hello, is there anyways to get my term to be one of the tab in geddit? [21:02] neilperry: with certain window managers you can group windows togethers as tabs [21:02] or anyone know ifi can run python in nano? [21:02] neilperry: really it sounds like you should learn how to use the editor Vim [21:02] thanks alkafoo [21:02] or Emacs =P [21:03] _cb, designing an enterprise network takes a lot of planning and a whole network team, it simply can't be guessed that simply on IRC [21:03] neilperry: they both run in a terminal, and make short work of doing anything [21:03] alkafoo: i have used vim some but got used in nano. but reading some online guide to help learn py and it suggest gedit. shouldnt matter at all right? [21:03] Am I able to install backtrack like i can ubuntu since it's ubuntu based? [21:03] Kartagis: you might want to ask in #git [21:03] neilperry: no it shouldn't [21:04] ok thanks [21:04] neilperry: gedit is just GNOME's generic editor is all [21:04] backtracky: we don't support backtrack... [21:04] yeats: #git sent me here [21:04] backtracky: it'll probably be quite similar to install [21:04] ah, ok. thasnks [21:04] backtracky: you can get all the same utilities backtrack has with Ubuntu, however, or even any other distro [21:04] backtracky: its pretty much the same. you should try blackbuntu aswell. i find it better than backtrack imo [21:04] Can anyone help me. I'm trying to get an IP address from a MAC address [21:04] it's just a preconfigured, precompiled set of tools and configurations [21:04] Kartagis: fair enough, though it sounds like a git issue, not necessarily an ubuntu issue [21:05] plummerb: sorry. walked away. the mib files have documentation inside them. [21:05] What is the equivalent directory to /etc/pki/tls/certs in Ubuntu 10.04.3?

[21:05] ikonia: openldap [21:06] DTSuser, there is no translation between a mac and IP address... the DHCP server is what assigns the IP address and would know what is assigned [21:06] thanks friends [21:06] K4k: there slapd.conf should show where it's looking for certs [21:06] ikonia: thank you [21:06] Damm, [21:07] ikonia: I don't appear to have that file anywhere... [21:07] <_cb> julie101010 I have designed and implemented Active Directory networks and trying to find out what, similar tools, there are in Linux. I thought LDAP would do it. Unfortunatelly not. [21:07] K4k: then how have you configured openldap [21:07] _cb: what features of active directort do you want? central authentication? [21:07] ikonia: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LDAPClientAuthentication [21:07] DTSuser: mac address is just something that identifies a network interface theoretically as unique [21:08] <_cb> tomodachi the one that I am most interested in is in the ability to centralize data and restrict file access based on groups [21:08] Hey, anyone knows whats going on here, when i surf, using chromium, and mouse3-click a link, focues changes to another program window [21:08] K4k: are you trying to configure the client or server ? [21:08] client [21:09] ikonia: I already have a server set up. I'm normally doing this with Redhat though :-( [21:09] I want to hack my wi-fi access point. It takes my IPS years to come out. I want to change settings but don't have access [21:09] _cb: well there is a the open ldap project, and redhat has the directory389 project [21:09] K4k: so this is just the client to connect to the redhat server ? [21:09] ikonia: correct [21:10] _cb: you will probably want samba though for most stuff, check it out. Also central storage with cifs and linux is i dont know. for a lot of users, not really that good. what about storing stuff on a portal instead? , storage in its classical sence is a dying breed anyway. [21:10] K4k: I don't have an ubuntu client here to look at, I'm just reading that wiki [21:10] MIBs are loaded from /usr/share/snmp/mibs/ by default? [21:11] 5 bad blocks found [21:11] DTSuser, that doesn't tell us why you need to get an IP address from a MAC address [21:11] _cb: we use dekiwiki as a corporate intranet / sharepoint kind of thing. Very good and also supports ldap /active directory so you can centrally manage access [21:11] what next? [21:11] ikonia: actually, wouldn't the ldap.conf tell ldap where to look for certs? [21:11] does badblocks fix them automatically [21:11] K4k: I would have expected that, yes === Xano_ is now known as Xano [21:12] julie101010> I want to check my wi-fi phone's IP address [21:12] ikonia: well lookie there, completely glazed over that...

I'm having the following issues with unity's launcher: 1. for menu items created with alacarte and added to the launcher, I get inconsistent behavior when opening a new instance of the application, somtimes it gets a new icon sometimes it's bound to the launcher (what I'd expect). 2. Still for menu items created with alacarte, it's sometimes difficult to include them as a launcher's element (i.e.: sometimes, dragging them into the [21:28] launcher does not work, they seem to be added but the next time you open your launcher, they're gone). 3. if I manually edit the settings of a .desktop file included in the launcher, the launcher icon associated to the .desktop disappears. Can anyone refer me to the proper launchpad bugs for these, or does anyone have any suggestions for correcting this? (number 1. is especially getting on my nerves because of it's inconsistency) === aarcane is now known as visix6 [21:28] lubuntu help needed pls [21:28] Hi there, there is a issue with the automouting of the windows partition in Oneiric that seems to affect some people.

[21:29] Ops... thanks, ikonia. [21:29] Strav, the usual. Not the autofs, just plain fstab. [21:29] installed using mini iso 32 bit.after installation it shows ubuntu logo(not lubuntu) and then the screen just goes blank. tried xubuntu yesterday and it worked fine [21:30] * Strav fears for this precious autofs configs [21:30] :) [21:30] after installing the AMD FGLRX driver there's now a watermark at the lower right that says "AMD Unsupported hardware". How do I make it go away? === visix6 is now known as aarcane [21:30] Aircrack-ng doesn't handshake...What could be the problem? [21:30] robertzaccour: buy supported hardware [21:31] how I get partition size on ubuntu? [21:31] danielc: fstab problems. ish, that sucks. For myself I just pray for the next lts, AT LAST a bug fix release. [21:31] robertzaccour: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI_Catalyst#Radeon_HD_6870_and_fglrx_10.10 [21:31] Webonaute: if you open the partition tool (gparted_ you can see it [21:31] Webonaute: df -h [21:31] ikonia, Its supported, it was in the driver updates even [21:31] installed lubuntu using mini iso 32 bit.after installation it shows ubuntu logo(not lubuntu) and then the screen just goes blank. tried xubuntu yesterday and it worked fine [21:31] robertzaccour: and yet it says on your screen, unsupported [21:31] is there a chan dedicated to unity's bug (I'd expect there's one given their insane amount) [21:31] is it a problem for Windoze to have a swap partition before the MSR? (sda1=EFISYS sda2=ext2BOOT sda3=swap sda4=MSR sda5=C: sda6=ext4 sda7=ext4 sda8=...) [21:32] Webonaute, you can find the drive sizes using "sudo fdisk -l" to find the partition sizes you'll probably have to mount them, then "df -h" [21:32] rebba: it's called "windows" please ask for windows support in ##windows channel [21:32] ikonia, yet its in the updates that are supported and maintained [21:32] rebba it shouldn't be, but I wouldn't put it past it [21:32] ikonia: windows gave a BSOD [21:33] alkafoo, I have Ubuntu [21:33] robertzaccour: irrelevant [21:33] hi guys, i have a question, i installed ubuntu 10.04 and find that my opt directory is missing, will this affect the os in anyway? can i just recreate it? [21:33] rebba: support for windows is in the ##windows channel [21:33] Jekyll: nothing is in /opt by default [21:33] how do i download the latest deb file for flash? [21:33] Jekyll: nothing is broken until it is [21:33] pr0ton_: adobe.com [21:33] pr0ton_: search for 'flash' in your package manager [21:34] ikonia: so i can just make the directory again? [21:34] Jekyll: yup [21:34] alkafoo, thats not the latest [21:34] or just install from repo: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer pr0ton_ [21:34] Jekyll: if anything ever needs the directory, it will be made on its own [21:34] xangua, adobe.com asks me to install add an APT [21:34] ikonia: cool thanks:) [21:34] Jekyll: just wait until they deprecate /etc/ and put everything in /opt [21:34] pr0ton_: it's the latest that developers have vetted [21:34] and there is some issue with it, that gives a public key error [21:34] Strav: please don't be silly, he's asking a reasonable question [21:34] strav : will do [21:34] how do i add it to keychain? [21:34] Hello ... [21:34] Jekyll: I assume you know Strav is joking ? [21:34] ikonia:installed lubuntu using mini iso 32 bit.after installation it shows ubuntu logo(not lubuntu) and then the screen just goes blank. tried xubuntu yesterday and it worked fine [21:34] lol [21:35] pr0ton_ no idea what you just said :S [21:35] xangua, if you visit adobe.com to download flash, it'll ask you to add a repo source [21:35] ikonia: just joking, in the bottom of my heart I like change for the sake of change.

[21:37] alkafoo, no i Download and run this from source .tar.gz [21:37] mah454: you should use the .deb version [21:38] alkafoo, It didn't work. it said not found and other stuff [21:39] johughes, be sure you have ia32-libs installed, if it's a specific/non-standard 32bit library checkout the getlibs script to install 32bit libraries on 64bit OS. Good luck. [21:40] robertzaccour: then you'll have to adjust the script [21:40] ty [21:40] alkafoo, how do I do that? [21:41] zykotick9_, thanks, I have ia32-libs installed, and I've checked everything with ldd to make sure it can resolve all of the dynamic dependencies [21:41] robertzaccour: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22amd%20unsupported%20hardware%22%20site%3Aubuntuforums.org [21:42] zykotick9_: I was just wondering if there were any known issue with dlopen()'ing a 32-bit lib on a 64-bit OS [21:42] Hey, anyone knows whats going on here, when i surf, using chromium, and mouse3-click a link, focues changes to another program window..something to do with compiz? [21:42] johughes, sorry i don't even know what dlopen is. Good luck. [21:43] I have a bit of a problem. I moved my usr directory to an external drive.

I do not think I can boot with a LiveUSB so I know of no way to [21:43] MisterCrazy8: that's is a terrible idea, keep /usr on local disk [21:43] MisterCrazy8: it should use grub also [21:43] MisterCrazy8, Boot with the livecd and re-edit the fstab mate [21:44] MisterCrazy8: start up ubuntu in single user mode [21:44] I can't use a live CD.

[21:45] what I have to check if fdisk show 30% free space and when I try to do a svn update with root user. it said disk space full? [21:45] lebear: you can't hibernate without one [21:45] MisterCrazy8: why can't you use a live cd ? [21:46] HeGuru, hm alright. what's an appropriate size then? got 4 gigs of ram and a 500gig hdd [21:46] MisterCrazy8: use grub to boot into single user mode, use a livecd, or a liveusb, to edit it [21:46] lebear: you need atleast the amount of RAM, I use 1.5-2 x ram usually [21:46] lebear, I think hibernate or suspend needs swap [21:47] MisterCrazy8: add "single" to your normal kernel boot flags. [21:47] lebear: 4GB will be fine [21:47] HeavyMetal, ah that's a waste of space just for hib :/ it's been i while since I did this, so.. 6 gig swap, like... 5 for \ and whatever i need for \home ? all primary except swap ofc [21:47] and useful [21:48] hi, i'm having a heck of a time on linux going from 2.6.32 to 2.6.35.. it reverted to using sd device and works, i can't seem to get xen-blkfront module installed into the ramdisk.. am i missing something? i assume it is better to use the xen drivers? we have software that references xvd devices so i was hoping to use same device if possible.. and efficient.. i've tried adding xen-blkfront to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and doing update-ini [21:48] . [21:48] lebear: you _can_ hibernate without a swap partition, but I wouldn't personally [21:48] lebear: 6 gig swap? [21:48] alkafoo, yeah RAM*1.5 [21:48] is the battery life problem of 11.04 going to be fixed in the next version [21:49] lebear: no forget that [21:49] lebear: that "rule" is from the 1940s [21:49] lol alright.. times 1 then? :D [21:49] lebear: yes or less, but I'd go with times 1 in your case [21:50] unless you're going to be doing big media editing, 4GB is _a lot_ of RAM [21:50] you could arguably not even use swap for just everyday use [21:50] johnzorn: I don't know what the official plan is but I'm using 11.10 Beta1 on my netbook and I haven't noticed a huge change in battery life from 11.04 to 11.10 [21:50] 4gb isn't much if you're going to be playing minecraft, though! [21:50] (not that I'd recommend that) [21:50] * tiktalik laughs [21:50] by mistake I installed the 32bit version instead of the 64bit, in my 64bit laptop. I am in physics and do some computing. Am I missing too much by not using the 64bit version? [21:50] fhtagn: Not really. 32 bit is fine. [21:51] okay.. and the \ mount is just for the system right? so I should be fine with 5 or so? (all programs and so on being installed on \home) [21:51] fhtagn: how much memory do you have in your system? [21:51] fhtagn: there's no reason to not use the 64-bit version [21:51] any nvidia expert? my resolution is stuck at 640x480. [21:51] lebear: programs are installed in /usr [21:51] tiktalik, but that's not true if you're doing computational physics [21:51] paladinlaw: nvidia-settings [21:51] in that case you want to make full use of the hardware [21:52] alkafoo: max 640x480 there [21:52] I never tried Minecraft, heard it's popular though.. haven't played a game in 5 years.. ;) [21:52] cthulu fhtagn! [21:52] minecraft is adictif. dont start to play at it [21:52] adictiv* [21:52] Play minecraft. [21:52] It's great. [21:52] yeah its too greate [21:52] great* [21:53] HeGuru, aha right, got it backwards [21:53] Any Astrologer here [21:53] I'm an adult, my game addiction genes are wron out [21:53] worn [21:53] !ot [21:53] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* [21:55] okay.. ty for feedback =) [21:55] Sorry for the delay. The Cr-48 has no optical drive. [21:55] fhtagn: You will not have access to more than about 3.5GB of RAM in 32bit Ubuntu. I can't speak to the statement that performance is lost in mathmatical calculation, though I would imagine it would be an issue if you were dealing with extremely large numbers due to the smaller addres space available. [21:55] any nvidia expert? my resolution is stuck at 640x480. [21:56] !pae | K4k fhtagn [21:56] K4k fhtagn: To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info [21:56] paladinlaw: what driver are you using? [21:56] alkafoo: 280.13 [21:56] there's no reason to not use 64-bit if your processor supports it, the end [21:57] alkafoo, +1 [21:57] xangua: oh, thank you! I had forgotten about PAE kernels [21:57] K4k, FYI PAE means a 3-6% slowdown of your system... [21:57] ubottu: thank you [21:57] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [21:58] xD lol [21:58] paladinlaw: installed from where? [21:58] Turing fail [21:58] MisterCrazy8: Can it boot from USB? [21:58] zykotick9_: I haven't used a 32bit system in ages... :shrug: [21:58] doubtful with the bios that it has [21:58] when i boot from the 11.04 livecd and refresh synaptic package manager, the synaptic window disappears. dmesg says something about "Out of memory: Kill process" blah blah blah. is this normal? [21:58] K4k, nor have I ;) [21:58] MisterCrazy8: How do you choose between Ubuntu and ChromeOS at boot? [21:58] szal: downloaded from nvidia's website. already tryied "Additional drivers".. same results [21:59] if I do decide to keep the 32bits, do I gain anything for the laptop being a 64 bit one? [21:59] it's just a question of whether you want to use your 2011 era hardware in a fashion optimized for an eight-year-old technology (amd64) or a twenty-six-year-old technology (i386) [21:59] hmekh: How much RAM do you have? [21:59] 512MB [21:59] fhtagn: it's just a question of whether you want to use your 2011 era hardware in a fashion optimized for an eight-year-old technology (amd64) or a twenty-six-year-old technology (i386) [21:59] xangua: thank you, saw the '!pawe | K4k fhtagn' awesome # and bot and people =) [22:00] hmekh: Then that's normal. You'll have a better time when you're not running from a LiveCD but 512 MiB is still not very much RAM. [22:00] ikonia: I finally got LDAP working btw. Follow the wiki + had to add "TLS_REQCERT allow" to the ldap.conf because we're using our own internal CA. Probably not the best way to solve the issue since it could potentially pose a security issue but at least it works for now. [22:00] K4k: that sounds a fine way to work, [22:01] szal: what can i do? [22:01] paladinlaw: did you follow the installation instructions? [22:01] now i want to ask something like "well what's a useful livecd then" or "what is booting to the cd supposed to demonstrate" [22:02] dunno where i'm going with this [22:02] szal: yes. everything is installed but my max resolution is 640x480. without the driver i can have up to 1280x720. [22:02] I don't. to switch to chrome from Ubuntu I use sudo cgpt add -i 6 -P 0 -S 0 /dev/sda then sudo reboot and to switch otherwise sudo cgpt add -i 6 -P 5 -S 1 /dev/sda then sudo reboot.

[22:04] in fstab, how do i have to enter a samba share so i can write on this share? (on server site it is set up correctly) [22:05] If no solution I am capable of restarting the entire process [22:05] MisterCrazy8: that maybe worth while [22:06] MisterCrazy8: that install process is bascially hardcoding prebuilt ubuntu onto your machine [22:06] hmekh: it will be hard to judge the quality of a live CD with that amount of RAM === jim is now known as Guest69689 [22:06] ikona: I noticed. That irked me [22:07] it should be okay, but the fancy graphics acceleration stuff probably won't work [22:07] course it probably wouldn't work even if you installed to the HD, though [22:07] K4k: ok thanks for the headsup [22:07] unless you somehow have a proper graphics card and that little RAM [22:09] guys === KNUBBIG is now known as KNUBBIG_ [22:11] vacho: that's our name [22:11] Hi, have to select ubuntu 2d to get window menues and the main menu in ubuntu 11.10 any hints?

[22:14] i tried the livecd on a machine with 2GB RAM, but then that gave me errors because i used a usb dvd drive. is that also normal? [22:14] ikonia: what about the pins. the master, slave stuff? what do i do with that? [22:14] ubun: treat it as normal, that's not really something ubuntu treats different than normal [22:14] where can i read empathy logs on ubuntu 11.04 [22:14] ? [22:15] chimp: Turned your laptop back on after doing what? [22:15] ikonia: well i really dont know whats what so. i going to have to google that i guess [22:15] hi guys, can anyone help me set up my ubuntu so that i can access my files on my windows7 media-pc? - the files I need to share are on NTFS disks in my ubuntu-box.

[22:17] chimp: ls -ld $HOME [22:17] actually /home/chimp has indeed been set to user 1016 [22:17] Any idea how that could have happened? [22:17] chimp: user error, deleting the wrong user ? [22:17] chimp: set it correctly and I'm sure it will be fine [22:18] do I need to set something up to use 32 bits apps in 64 bits ubuntu? http://goo.gl/BWrHw this makes me think so =/ [22:18] fhtagn: if you download them out of the ubuntu repos, it will pull in the dependencies for you [22:18] Yep. That fixed things. [22:18] Not sure how it happened though. I didn't delete any users, or run any chown [22:18] list [22:18] nice. [22:19] Cheers for the help [22:19] woops [22:19] fhtagn: Yes, but needing to run 32 bit applcations (that aren't already packaged to deal with the fact that they are 32 bit like flash) is rare.

I have done nearly everything every normal grub fix help says.. [22:32] SubCool: I didn't intend it to be. If you want help you'll need to give a more detailed description of your problem. [22:32] i was working with a couple guys last night, buti t got late and i was having issues. [22:33] Jordan_U, ya, i get that- but its easier just to ask for help in the topic and then explain. [22:33] SubCool: which partition did you delete [22:33] play stereo files as mono is important [22:35] ikonia, a third one with linux on it. Now when i boot, i get a "cannot find partition , grub-rescue>" [22:35] can someone analyze my xorg.conf file? my max resolution is 640x480. file: http://pastebin.com/uNviLCZy [22:35] SubCool: so you'll need to apply a new boot loader then [22:36] SubCool: Follow this guide to install KUbuntu's grub to the mbr: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot [22:36] SubCool: either re-apply the micrsoft one from the windows cd (the guys in ##windows can explain this if you don't know how to do it) [22:36] got me at this point. [22:36] ya, i just tried the Chroot i think [22:36] Jordan_U: it won't work as he won't have /etc for the grub configs [22:36] ikonia: He still has a full KUbuntu install. [22:37] SubCool: you've deleted linux where the grub config is, so you either need a.) a linux install b.) a non-grub boot loader [22:37] i had two linux's on here [22:37] Jordan_U: he said he'd deleted the linux partition (which if grub config is missing, that means /etc is gone) [22:37] i deleted one [22:37] SubCool: which one did you delete ? [22:37] originaly i had two kubuntu's and win 7 [22:37] now i have one of each [22:37] ok, so Jordan_U's is spot on then, sorry Jordan_U [22:38] ive tried this one- it doesnt work [22:38] SubCool: it will [22:38] ikonia: Np :) [22:38] i just tried it [22:38] SubCool: or you can boot from a kubuntu livecd and re-apply grub to point at your new/current kubuntu enviornment [22:39] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo chroot /mnt [22:39] chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error [22:39] yeats, found it, its o ~/.local/share/TpLogger/logs [22:40] SubCool: You're using a 32 bit LiveCD. Do you have a 64 bit liveCD you can use? [22:40] is there anything in the repositories or anywhere that lets us Ubuntu users stream audio/video from torrents? [22:40] the install should be 32bit, - ugh. No - i dont have a 64 bit. [22:40] Are there any terminal music players? [22:41] tiktalik: many... try mpd, moc, mplayer... [22:41] how can i tell which i need? [22:41] Phr3d13: Streaming is not compatible with how bittorrent works. What are you actually trying to be able to do? [22:42] SubCool: Your install is 64 bit, that is what that error means. [22:42] paladinlaw, my xorg.conf is http://pastebin.com/wJvkzTUS [22:42] Phr3d13, use XMBC or whatever its called [22:42] SubCool: What liveCD is this (specific distro and verison)? [22:42] how can i cause alt/ctrl-space to bring up the "run application" windowlet thingy? like spotlight/quicksilver on osx, basically.. [22:42] kubuntu 11.04 [22:42] Gnome Do [22:42] Jordan_U, [22:43] every time i tried to create a 64bit LiveUSB it would crash.. [22:43] Phr3d13: streaming torrents do not exist yet, though it's being worked on (and has been for at least a few years) [22:43] rhizmoe, gotta be complicated... [22:43] talk about timing and swarm.. [22:43] i saw that the windows version of utorrent supports torrent streaming [22:43] SubCool: OK. Can you pastebin the output of "mount" and "sudo blkid"? [22:43] Hi guys, here's my problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11248493 [22:43] indeed. it's a protocol thing. [22:44] Jordan_U, sure. [22:44] Phr3d13: is it streaming the torrents, or is it letting you view files whose chunks have been downloaded in a particular order, or after a certain point of completion? [22:44] afaik its streaming the torrent [22:44] i know this is not an ubuntu related question but i'll form it that way so yeah... is it okay if i leave my laptop that has ubuntu running on all night? I need it because of the alarm clock [22:45] afaik isn't really a good answer [22:45] marko-_--: why wouldn't it be... [22:45] marko-_--: then don't ask if you no it's not ubuntu related [22:45] marko-_--, I wouldn't recommend it unless you have lots of money for replacement batteries over time.

[22:47] okay, thanks [22:47] jrib: i tried.. I need to configure my network so I can access my files from my windowsbox in the same network. I feel i have tried everything [22:47] !samba > hallgeirg [22:47] hallgeirg, please see my private message [22:48] marko-_--, a 500 dollar + alarmclock? kinda like using a computer to charge batteries you can but why ?

[23:32] I had a 50gig partition that was corrupt on my dive that took up some space, the Disk Utility just obliterated it no issue though.. [23:32] is it giving you an error?

[23:38] DrPenguin: I tried browsing to the drive but I can't go up to the point I need to see it at [23:38] your problem seems to be that your not using the right mount points [23:38] DrPenguin, might be a setting in BIOS that puts computer to sleep when closed. [23:39] DrPenguin im not sure I know what you mean, can you elaborate? [23:39] DrPenguin: xosuitehearts isn't mounting the CD at all. Nor should it be mounted for what they're trying to do. [23:39] Jordan_U: What are you talking about [23:39] Jordan_U: shes READING a CD into a file [23:39] DrPenguin: What would be the right mount points if the drive was called "SecondaryDrive" [23:39] it has to be mounted.. [23:39] Chief-Wolf: Where is "SecondaryDrive" mounted at? [23:39] Jordan_U some people suggested that it was an cd reader issue. but I was able to make a successful iso using Brasero [23:39] Interesting. === Seq__ is now known as Seq === Seq is now known as seq [23:40] plummerb: hmm.. Im not sure about that.. it works fine on Windows, it just never has on linux [23:40] DrPenguin: It's internal, and only shows up in "places" on the side bar [23:40] Chief-Wolf: Yeah, but you need to know its path [23:40] Jordan_U and I've been able to burn and images perfectly fine when using premade iso files to dvds and cds alike [23:40] DrPenguin: how would I, a total noob, go about finding said path? [23:41] DrPenguin: xosuitehearts is trying to make an image of the CD, not copy files from it. Making an image of a CD has nothing to do with mounting it. [23:41] I'm back attempting a fresh install of Ubuntu server 11.04, attempting to install grub gives "'executing grub-install /dev/sda failed" [23:41] Jordan_U: If shes reading the CD.. it has to be mounted [23:41] Chief-Wolf: Does it appear in your system automatically when you boot? should be able to read fstab I guess [23:41] I am unable to see the 1280*1024 resolution [23:41] Jordan_U DrPenguin the cd mounts fine, its being read by the drive just fine, I was able to make an image a full one using brasero [23:41] can someone please help [23:42] DrPenguin: dd "read" from device [23:42] I was fiddling around with the display settings for a demo [23:42] DrPenguin: yes it appears automatically when booted, so what path should i take to get to Fstab? [23:42] Anyone have an answer on the plug-in issue? [23:42] and suddenly, the 1280*1024 option is gone! [23:42] I have an ubuntu server running in the cloud, what is an easy and reliable method to create offsite backups of files? I was thinking, push to dropbox? But I'm not sure if that's possible.

[23:43] DrPenguin, right now the max mode I have right now: is 1024*768 [23:43] I think I had a better mode than that! [23:43] bartj: right, check /var/log/Xorg.0.log [23:43] Jordan_U how would I confirm that exactly? [23:43] DrPenguin: I dont have fstab in my folder it would appear, I shouldhave mentioned i'm on 11.04 if that would make a difference [23:44] Chief-Wolf: how do you not have an /etc/fstab? [23:44] DrPenguin, what should I be looking for ? [23:44] it would appear i dont [23:44] bartj: scroll down to where X is probing the monitor for valid modes.. see if theres any evil stuff in there [23:44] DrPenguin: Just found it!

[23:45] DrPenguin: I just had to look a bit deeper, accdently over looked it, heh, noob mistake, so from this file what should i do [23:45] I installed windows in one partition, then I installed kubuntu on 3 other partitions, 1 for swap, 1 for boot, and 1 for root. [23:45] xosuitehearts: If the CD is mounted, then you should see a line with something like "/dev/sr0 /media/foo iso9660 ...". If it's not mounted then run "sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/" (not because it needs to be mounted, but as a way to confirm that we have the right device node). [23:45] but after the installation, grub didn't get load at all, and windows started directly [23:45] Valen-Echo, well that depends on what you want to do ,,, graphics...coding...music ,,,etc [23:45] then I booted again from the live cd [23:45] DrPenguin Jordan_U where would I look to see this? [23:45] Chief-Wolf: it is going to show you all the drives in there that are automounted, the "Mount Point" should represent SecondaryDrive [23:45] and used fdisk and noticed that /dev/sda3 (the /boot partition) didn't have a bootable flag, so I added one, saved it, and rebooted.

[23:51] does the freenode server use the following ip 213.232.93.3 [23:51] xosuitehearts: You missed a space between /dev/cdrom and /mnt/ [23:51] Jordan_U alright [23:52] With all due respect Please follow the channel rules DrPenguin [23:52] !guidelines | DrPenguin [23:52] DrPenguin: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines === jimubao_ is now known as jimubao [23:52] Really? Wow.. no thanks, im here to chat, not be barrated by a few idiots [23:52] Jordan_U mount: /dev/sr0: unknown device [23:52] Fuck ur rules [23:52] DrPenguin: So I don't get what is going on, seeing as I do not have a /dev/ folder after searching [23:52] assholes [23:52] DrPenguin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:54] any help? [23:54] Anyone else getting PM's from AuroraNites21 [23:54] Jordan_U would the fact that its a old playstation 1 disc make a difference? [23:54] plummerb: I am [23:54] xosuitehearts: That confirms that /dev/cdrom is not the correct device (at least at the moment). [23:55] Jordan_U let me try a different disc and see how it reacts to that [23:55] Is he a troll? [23:55] Crap, Penguin left and I don't know where to go from this step .-. [23:55] Plummerb: not a clue [23:56] Jordan_U: Thats seems to be even stanger, assuming his first paste was real: http://paste.ubuntu.com/688706/ [23:57] qin Jordan_U hold on, I had the disc out [23:57] qin Jordan_U my bad.

[23:57] What can I do [23:58] qin Jordan_U mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only [23:58] Chief-Wolf: Navigate via /media (or whatever mountpoint is).

[23:59] th0r: I don't know it, it does, but I can't find its path in the document because the UUID's are around
