[00:00] qin: Thanks, just found it :D [00:00] qin: I now owe you one box of Koodos [00:00] xosuitehearts: OK. Now that you have a disk in the drive, we've confirmed that /dev/cdrom is the correct device node. You should be able to use dd with this device now. [00:00] Jordan_U alright, so what code do I run? [00:01] xosuitehearts: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=~/disc1.iso [00:01] Jordan_U gave me the same as before [00:01] Only 1 box? [00:02] hi all, in the following rsync command ' rsync -av rbbroker::opt2 /opt ' what is the value rbbroker? Trying to find the config file where it might be held. [00:02] Jordan_U going to try a different disc [00:03] Jordan_U how do I unmount? [00:03] Qin: Wine is still not allowing me to install steam on the newly discovered D: Drive [00:04] Jordan_U cancel that [00:04] Chief-Wolf: You can symlink ~/.wine to somehere else. [00:05] Jordan_U how do I unmount, because now the drive is busy? [00:05] qin: im an ubuntu virgin, how can i make a System Link like that? [00:06] hi guys, i'm trying to setup postfix/smtp authentication using PAM to a mysql DB. somehow, the @domain.com part of the username doesn't make it to the SQL query sent to the database, does anyone have a clue what i could try? [00:06] Chief-Wolf: Wait. What do you want to do, in basics. I understand install Steam. [00:07] Qin: I need to install steam on my secondary hard drive that we just found the mount path to, went into Winecfg, told it to use that as a D: drive, but when I go to install the Installer cant seem to see D: [00:07] qin how would I unmount? [00:08] how come when i hit Launch in my virtual machine, the window disappears almost instantly? [00:08] xosuitehearts: eject, or sudo umount /mount/point [00:09] Chief-Wolf: Can you pastebin (paste.ubuntu.com) your ls -l /media/ [00:09] Qin: So i type ls -l /media/ in the Terminal and post results? I can do that :D [00:10] Chief-Wolf: and ls -l /media//* yes, terminal. [00:11] http://paste.ubuntu.com/688730/ Well that was most bizzare Qin [00:11] it says my hard drive "227" is there [00:11] but when i dove deeper, it said there was nothing [00:11] how come when i hit Launch in my virtual machine, the window disappears almost instantly? [00:12] Chief-Wolf: Hm? ok: df -h; mount [00:13] Sterist: Is it virtual box? [00:13] qin qemu launcher [00:13] qin http://paste.ubuntu.com/688731/ I think i comprehend what some of it is, but most of this is french to me [00:13] qin i recently reinstalled ubuntu (had 32bit, now 64) and previously it worked. everything i had installed is now restored. any ideas? [00:14] okay qin so here's what I did, I put a music cd in the drive [00:14] qin and from there I did the mont [00:14] mount* [00:14] qin it says i need to specific file system [00:15] qin should I go ahead and try to make an iso from this disc to test it? [00:15] qin it may be notable that i'm on 11.04 64bit [00:15] xosuitehearts: sudo umount /dev/cdrom [00:15] a [00:15] Chief-Wolf: You should reformat 227 into something more normal than vfat, and maybe divide it into 2 partitions. [00:16] qin Vfat? Ok, I will try this now [00:16] Jordan_U alright, here's what was the matter, I had a playstation 1 disc in there, ii swapped it for a regular audio cd [00:16] Chief-Wolf: No vfat! ext4 would be nice. [00:16] Jordan_U im mounting the audio cd and going to try and make an iso grom it [00:16] from* [00:16] it [00:17] qin: ext4, got it, formatting now, and renamming to actual text [00:17] Jordan_U it asked me to specify the filesystem type [00:17] xosuitehearts: You can't mount audio CDs, nor can you make isos from them as they don't have an iso9660 filesystem. [00:17] Jordan_U shoot... [00:18] qin Formatted and Mounted [00:18] Jordan_U all I really want to know is how would i tell if my cd drive is the problem? [00:18] Chief-Wolf: Do you use any windows? If yes, you may need extra partition to be accesable from both. [00:18] Jordan_U because I can burn images just fine and read them fine as well [00:18] Chief-Wolf: mount - just give me path. [00:18] xosuitehearts: Then your drive is not the problem. [00:18] qin Will Do [00:19] Qin Says only the root user can do it, and my password is being denied [00:19] Jordan_U i read something that had to do with ps1 discs having a diff data type http://linuxreviews.org/howtos/cdrecording/ [00:19] <[IFOC]75> hi, I have timidity++ installed, midi files play correctly when I use "timidity " but Rosegarden doesn't make any sounds [00:19] Jordan_U it says i have to use cdrdao [00:20] Chief-Wolf: What is saying that? [00:20] <[IFOC]75> I tried a few tutorials, but they didn't have any effect, what should I do? [00:20] qin: terminal, or do you want me to just go into fstab and get it? [00:21] Chief-Wolf: No, mount is command to see mounted drives, you can mount/unmount in menu > places or in file manager (on left side) [00:21] howdy === neil is now known as neil_lenny [00:22] qin: oh well i'm mounted than ^^ I mounted it after reformatting [00:22] <[IFOC]75> I have another question too, how do I set my computer to a static ip in ubuntu? [00:22] i downloaded 11.04 32b just now and used the startup disc creator to put it on a thumb drive...and it's been sitting at "installing the bootloader" for 20 min or so...anything I should check? any other way i ought to do it? [00:22] Chief-Wolf: So what does command "mount" do? [00:23] qin; without args it'll show you the mounted filesystems. with various arguments it'll mount other filesystems [00:24] [IFOC]75: are you on a desktop or server? [00:24] hcook: ^^^ [00:24] <[IFOC]75> A desktop [00:24] qin: something better than it did last time, let me pastebin it for you [00:24] <[IFOC]75> It will be used to host a server temporarily, using a program.

[00:27] qin Let me pastebin it real quick, but It knows its there [00:28] hcook: np, hehe, just choked with coffee and now cleaning keyboard. [00:28] qin http://paste.ubuntu.com/688740/ [00:31] Chief-Wolf: OK, now you have some options. Either tell wine of second drive, or move ~/.wine (all your games and programs installe in wine) to secondarydrive and link it form home folder. [00:31] qin: I've told wine of the drive, used WineCFG to say "this is a D: Drive" but it refuses to take it [00:32] Qin: Also how would one preform such a link? [00:32] Chief-Wolf: Did you try after reformating? [00:32] qin Yes, reformatted to the type you specified, so I'm not sure whats happening with it [00:32] qin ..? [00:33] Sterist: ? [00:33] nevermind [00:35] Qin I made a link to a folder in Secondary Drive, could I plug it through that link as a D Drive? [00:35] Chief-Wolf: To move all .wine: cp ~/.wine /media/SecondaryDrive/Wine && du -sh ~/.wine && du /media/SecondaryDrive/Wine [00:35] Chief-Wolf: Propably yes. [00:35] qin: i'm gonna try that first before the move [00:36] need help with low resolution nvidia problem!!!

I just got to find out why that's broken. ;) [03:30] Hi [03:31] I'm trying to connect to my printer from Windows. [03:31] The printer is on an Ubuntu box with CUPS [03:31] printer type? [03:31] When I go to https://192.168.1.4:631/printers/Canon-MF4100-Series I can see the printer from my Windows computer, but I can't figure out how to connect [03:32] Canon MF410 [03:32] pujger, if you have deselct installed dpkg --set-selections < installed-software followed by Code:dselect [03:32] MF4100* [03:32] I'm trying to install http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/natty/man3/after.3tcl.html it says it's provided by tcl, I've installed tcl docs tcl dev and tcl...still don't get the 'after' command. [03:32] Anyone know what package provides it? [03:32] idk sorry [03:33] !migration [03:33] I have the drivers already installed here btw. Is there anything extra I have to do to connect? [03:33] Hi. I'm trying to connect my 11.04 box through HDMI out to my TV. The Display configuration screen shows the TV just fine and even seems to detect a reasonable (or somewhat reasonable) resolution. My issue is that the TV does not render the input - it stays blank. I looked at the relevant documentation and it seems I need to work on my xorg.conf file. The only issue is, it seems in 11.04 there is no longer a xorg.conf file. My questio [03:34] Of course google is pretty hard to get an answer ... with all kinds of "10 things to do /after/ installing ubuntu" and that type of results [03:35] I don't know if that was directed at me, but I've followed the the steps on google and Windows simply can't find the printer when I provide the direct link [03:36] eblume: You might try using xrandr [03:36] ah....right...worked it out - it's called at [03:36] pujger, the installed packages woold be the file name. [03:36] !xrandr > eblume [03:36] eblume, please see my private message [03:37] Thanks wildgoose! Sure hope you aren't sending me on an eponimous chase. ;) [03:38] eblume: Heheh we'll see. [03:40] zykotick9_: /etc/default/grub must have GRUB_DEFAULT=saved then you must run a grub-update (I think this is necessary anyhow), then you can use grub-reboot freely [03:40] The_Worst: I remember doing that.. did you set up "port" on windows pointing to the cups url? [03:40] does anybody have dhcp server working in natty? I had this working in previous versions of ubuntu but natty seems different... [03:41] whyameye: using dhcpd ? [03:41] ascheel, thanks! [03:41] usr13: yes [03:41] Yes [03:41] https://192.168.1.4:631/printers/Canon-MF4100-Series [03:41] zykotick9_: oops, update-grub not grub-update. [03:41] that is the link [03:41] usr13: seems like dhcp3 is gone. And now we use isc-dhcp-server? [03:42] Anybody know any programs like WinToFlash for ubuntu? [03:42] ascheel, :) i wasn't going to say anything, figured it was just a typo [03:42] wildgoose: In this post ( http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/2009-October/004616.html ) someone with my exact TV seems to have it working. Can you parse what he said to tell me what the heck he did to make it work? Pretty please? [03:42] The_Worst: what kind or port did you create in windows? [03:42] whyameye: did you edit /etc/dhcpd.conf ? [03:42] Dylan2236: what does win2flash do? [03:42] usr13: yes. [03:42] SIFTU: I'm sorry, I don't quite follow. Create port in windows? [03:42] zykotick9_: Why make ONE command backwords with 'grub' as the second word? ;) [03:42] Dylan2236, what does win2flash do ?? [03:42] whyameye: is it running? And listening on the right NIC? [03:43] edbian: Puts windows on A Flashdrive [03:43] Dylan2236: windows the os ? [03:43] usr13: it won't run. "Address already in use" [03:43] Puts windows on A flash drive [03:43] Yest [03:43] Like the os [03:43] Yes* [03:43] Dylan2236: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:43] Dylan2236: USB creator (in Ubuntu) [03:43] The_Worst: have you ever printed from windows to linux before? [03:43] Printed? [03:43] Anyways [03:44] centHOGG: Yes, but not on this setup, and I used SAMBA [03:44] and it looked ok? [03:44] Yes [03:44] Dylan2236: printed? [03:44] edbian, you mean ubetbootin ?? [03:44] Dylan2236, just for confirmation win to flash will only load legit XP's [03:44] What is USB Creater? [03:44] Yes it only load Legit. [03:44] iwasfedora: there's that too :) [03:44] whyameye: Then you must already have a dhcp server running. Check and see [03:44] Dylan2236: USB creator lets you put an OS on a flash drive [03:44] usr13: I did. There isn't [03:44] Dylan2236: It's installed in Ubuntu by default [03:44] Oh [03:45] edbian, last i knew USB-Creator ONLY did Ubuntu ISOs [03:45] usr13: the only thing running with dhcp mention is Network Manager. I don't want to kill that [03:45] OK so basically I'm back to my original question. In 11.04, where should I go to modify the existing Section 'Monitor'? [03:45] zykotick9_: that's possible [03:45] why would anyone want XP on a flashdrive [03:45] whyameye: ps aux |grep dhcp #Are you sure? [03:45] centHOGG, "why would anyone want XP" ;) [03:45] usr13: absolutely sure [03:45] centHOGG, it's the install disc. [03:46] talk about read city... you would be there for a week [03:46] whyameye: How are you starting it? [03:46] usr13: that's exactly what I typed. I get network manager and the grep command back. I can paste the response if you want to see for yourself [03:46] read city [03:46] cent I do because I don't have discs and [03:46] Windows XP is the best and most Stableist Windows in my opinion. [03:46] usr13: sudo /etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server restart [03:46] sure on a hdd [03:46] The_Worst: I have done it a few times.. just trying to remember.. I know you have to create a TCP port in the win driver and enter the URL [03:46] maybe even a livecd [03:47] Dylan2236: and not topic here ;) [03:47] SIFTU: Oh, I know where you're talking about. When I did that it simply says printer not found. [03:47] The_Worst: http://www.kindawannadothat.com/2009/06/connect-windows-to-a-cups-printer/ [03:47] whyameye: sudo service isc-dhcp-server start ?

Does anyone have experience with the mount.ntfs skyrocketing in 11.10? It's constantly at 90% load, and it freezes my comuter! [03:59] honestly? [04:00] Hm? [04:00] The_Worst: check your PM.. I will try to help, but the windows part is offtopic [04:00] : PLease join #ubuntu+1 [04:00] The_Worst: why is the printer on a linux machine? [04:00] whyameye: I don't understand: [04:00] /sbin/dhclient -d -4 -sf /usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-dhcp-client.action -pf /var/run/dhclient-wlan0.pid -lf /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient-48c0cf9b-e0be-4ed4-b383-783ad27baea3-wlan0.lease -cf /var/run/nm-dhclient-wlan0.conf wlan0 [04:00] ? [04:00] dex_, you mount block devices not files... your question is not uncommon however. What are you actually trying to do? [04:00] dex_, what do you mean by mount archive ?? [04:01] Night everyone. [04:01] usr13: I assume that's network manager magic [04:01] gl [04:01] wildgoose: I assume you meant HDMI2 and not HDMI1, and also is it OK if I name the mode something else? that mode name appears to be taken. Assuming both of those are OK - I tried and it didn't have any noticeable effect. [04:01] whyameye: Are you trying to do ICS on this machine? [04:01] wildgoose: no errors though, just no flicker on the TV [04:02] usr13: in any case, I'm trying to get the dhcp server running on eth0 and the wifi internet is wlan0. Yes ICS on this machine. Exactly. Done it a million times in the past btw, but maybe the first time in natty. [04:02] zykotick9_ i want to mount an archive like an iso file. [04:02] how do I edit /etc/environment [04:02] eblume: Hmm, so no errors and a new mode added? [04:03] wildgoose: Yup. I also tried the mode listed on that thread I linked with a new name this time, and also no flicker on the screen. [04:03] iso files mounting like this - sudo mount file.iso /media/iso/ -t iso9660 -o loop [04:03] whyameye: What ever network-manager is doing, (which I'm not really sure), must be the problem. Are you attaining internet connection on this machine via wlan0? [04:03] wildgoose: I'm assuming I just need to run those three commands and the screen should, in theory, start showing a desktop? [04:03] usr13: yes [04:03] maybe is some way to mount an archive? [04:03] dex_, can't be done for just anything [04:03] whyameye: What I think you are going to have to do is turn off network-manager [04:04] usr13: if I kill Network Manager it's a pretty sure bet I'm going to lose my wifi. NM stores encryption settings for example [04:04] usr13: do you not use Network Manager? It's part of ubuntu-desktop, no? [04:04] whyameye: Is it an encrypted connection? [04:04] usr13: yes [04:04] wildgoose: many thanks for the help by the way === ximpul_ is now known as ximpul [04:06] whyameye: I suppose you could try ditching netwrok-manager for wicd I don't know if that will fix it but you could give it a try. (I'm with you on guessing all those three scripts network-manager is running must be some sort of magic.) But I'm not sure. Would have to look at them and see. [04:06] wildgoose: It seems I keep hearing about using the -intel or -ati modes or drivers, but I haven't a clue how to set this. All I can say about drivers is that this box is using an embedded intel chipset, and it worked for my desktop monitor (HDMI1) out of the box. [04:07] usr13: well if NM were the problem you'd think it would be all over the 'net. Weird [04:07] is there any software which is like microsoftoutlook in windows [04:07] ? [04:07] yeah..evolution [04:07] whyameye: Actually, it's just one: /usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-dhcp-client.action [04:07] Hi guys i have a question about ... samba [04:07] whyameye: pastebinit /usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-dhcp-client.action [04:08] or just look at it yourself [04:08] kaushik_: are you trying to connect to an exchange server? [04:08] for some reason its not broadcasting the name to the other machines [04:08] eblume: That may be the case, I'm afraid I'm out ideas for the moment. [04:08] what could it be ? [04:08] wildgoose: Well, thank you anyway. [04:08] usr13: that is a binary non-human-readable file [04:08] whyameye: It's either that or there is actually another instance of dhcpd running but that doesn't appear to be the case. I dono [04:09] Can anyone chime in with any ideas why my computer can't seem to display over HDMI to my TV? I can't seem to find up-to-date documentation online, but I could be missing something obvious. [04:09] Oh, using 11.04 [04:09] anyone ? [04:10] hi [04:10] im here [04:10] what's up. [04:10] whyameye: I suppose you could try and switch to wicd (but be prepared to have to switch back again if it doesn't work). i.e. sudo apt-get install wicd ; sudo apt-get remove network-manager [04:10] samba problem.... not broadcasting the name to the other machines [04:10] I'm getting a d-bus error.... when i use wicd, any tips guys? [04:10] any idea ? [04:10] wicd works but has limits [04:10] is there anything better than wicd? [04:11] xp3rt: yes: after eight [04:11] whyameye: That is a very complicated and long command, just to get a wireless connection up and running. [04:11] usr13: do you not use NM? [04:11] but maybe that's what it takes... [04:11] whyameye: No, I use wicd [04:12] MonkeyDust , after eight you will let me know ;) or thats the name of the package [04:12] xp yes add to xinitrc [04:12] !better | xp3rt [04:12] xp3rt: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [04:12] ok thanks. [04:13] whyameye: I don't know if that's the problem, but like I said, you can try and switch to wicd and see if that fixes it. Or, you could temporarily turn off the encryption on the router and see if that fixes it. [04:13] basically i just need the fastest way to connect to wifi... for my TP-LINK G and N card [04:14] I have ubuntu installed already - anyone know ubuntu hides a copy of its installation .iso anywhere, or if this can be recreated without downloading it again? Internet speed is terribly slow right now and I need to install on another box [04:14] whyameye: wicd seems to work just as well as far as I can tell. [04:14] yaaase: no, there is no .iso on your current system unless you put it there. [04:14] yaaase, this a wubi? [04:14] driller_work: ok I kinda figured. I can't recreate one from within ubuntu can I? [04:14] xp3rt: the fastest way is with the conf files, no need for apps to setup the files if it's already done. [04:14] urlin2u: no, standard ubuntu install [04:14] sweet ActionParsnip [04:14] hi i'm having a problem with dhcpd3-server, and i was wondering if i can start networking earlier before dhcp starts [04:14] yaaase: sure you can, you can create a .iso out of your current system; although, how it will run on your second system I don't dare answering. [04:15] ActionParsnip, may I PM you? [04:15] xp3rt: its a bit harder to setup and very oldschool, won't make the connection faster though [04:15] xp3rt: I've given all I know. There are guides online on how to do it [04:15] driller_work: o_o ... so I take it that would be a bad idea then [04:15] super_guest: yes, edit the dhcp init.d to do the networking part before setting up the dhcp server [04:16] xp3rt: there is also wifi-radar as another GUI alternative to wicd / network manager, wicd also has wicd-curses which will allow you to configure it in CLI with a nice curses UI [04:16] yaaase: yes most likely, although, if you willing to - you can get it to work; it could be easy as pie or a big hassle. [04:16] ok, cool. thanks.... [04:16] yaaase, you could try http://www.geekconnection.org/remastersys/ or clonezilla, [04:16] usr13: I used to use wicd and I liked that there wasn't any magic, I could get what was going on. But then I had troubles with it and tried to go more "out of the box" with ubuntu. Yeah I'll probably try it. I'm not getting anywhere as it is [04:17] driller_work: i have it started earlier, however [04:17] the network services are starting really late [04:17] yaaase, the first can make a install iso like the original I believe.

[04:17] super_guest: then add a sleep to allow the networking-part do its thing; then once it has, execute the start of the dhcp server.

[05:15] varnie: Is it to be installed in softraid? [05:15] varnie, thats fine I would put all of it in a exteneded .

[05:16] _cb: depending on your swappiness number a little number isnt too bad [05:16] varnie: then why a seperate /boot ? [05:16] ActionParsnip: Yes that is true.. xterm is on the server === hugo is now known as Guest62343 [05:17] I already understood there's no need for separate /boot.

In the Ubuntu 10.10 install there're only two options: primary and logical one [05:17] ActionParsnip how do you know what .so are installed in firefox. i don't know the name of the citrix extension but my guess it is not in chromium folder [05:18] varnie: I believe its the same [05:18] varnie: use logical, it will create the extended automatically [05:18] truesky: try: about:plugins [05:18] ActionParsnip: i think you're on the right track as i have read something about this.. but i am still unsure how. [05:18] upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04, Update Manager says "this is still a beta release" or something like that. I bet that's a lie :) [05:18] llutz_, / will be primary, /home, swap, and my_data_partition will be logical, correct? [05:18] <_cb> SIFTU will check next time I visit my friend.

A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and cannot be downgraded safely.

Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [05:58] i've asked there. it's dead. they're practically the same thing though [05:58] nobody has anything they could recommend off the top of their head?

Your distro is offtopic here as it is not an official canonical release [05:59] wyzegye: And as youve been told, it probably broke your system into an unrepairable state [06:00] wyzegye: if you want gnome3 SOOO badly, install Ubuntu Oneiric (not Mint) and you will be fully supported here once it is released at the end of next month [06:00] Hello.

[06:04] ranjan_: I believe you need to use chmod. I don't personally know of any other way. Maybe others can advise [06:04] ActionParsnip, except for transformers :D [06:05] diverdude: optimus is the technology used to have dual GPUs as far as I know, bumblebee is a project to try and make it work.

Harvesting foreskins is worth billions of dollars to the U.S. economy every year, and we don't have to worry about China beating us in this field too, because they don't practice routine infant circumcision. [07:39] GhostWolf: cool [07:39] GhostWolf: http://www.google.com/chrome/eula.html?hl=en-GB&brand=GGRY&installdataindex=search-experiment&platform=linux_ubuntu_i386 [07:39] ok thanks ActionParsnip [07:40] ActionParsnip: the readme just says "install the mono package". well, i will install what you said. [07:40] GhostWolf: select 32bit deb for Ubuntu and download the deb, double click to install it [07:40] no_gravity: seems to cover it [07:40] ActionParsnip, thats what i downlaoded and it asked me to save or run i saved it but i right selected it and selected to have the ubuntu software center to install [07:41] GhostWolf: ok then close software centre. Where did you save the file? [07:41] ActionParsnip: but will mono run the .exe files? [07:41] 呵呵 [07:41] !time [07:41] Information about using and setting your computer's clock on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime - See https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/NTP.html for information on usage of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) [07:42] ActionParsnip, in the download folder that FireFox has for it [07:43] GhostWolf: then run: cd ~/Downloads; sudo dpkg -i ./google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb; sudo apt-get -f install; rm ./google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb === Mud is now known as Guest50014 [07:43] btw ActionParsnip i just looked and i guess i have Google Chrome already installed. it shows in the Internet section of the applications [07:43] GhostWolf: good enough for me :) [07:44] ActionParsnip, let me open to see if it works [07:44] ActionParsnip: I think i will just boot up an ec2 instance with windows and use it there. looks like mono is not ready for users yet. [07:45] ActionParsnip, i guess it does, i just opened and it works asked me to select a search engnie and then other info [07:45] GhostWolf: cool [07:45] ActionParsnip, thanks for ya help [07:45] no_gravity: its used by quite a lot, I'd ask in the mono channel [07:46] GhostWolf: np [07:46] ActionParsnip: im in the mono channel. no infos there. i could also use wine. but will wine run mono stuff?

[07:47] c [07:47] no_gravity: considering you have probably spent 10 minutes on this then assumed it's not ready, I'd say it was a poor effort on your part personally. I don't know how wine will go with mono, I don't develop or mess with that stuff (save for Spotify in Wine) [07:47] rww [07:47] raji: yes? [07:47] no_gravity: try finding some mono guides online, or a mono forum etc, you may get better help as it is more specific to your issue [07:48] yes [07:49] ActionParsnip: sounds like that will take a lot longer then to boot a windows machine. if i as a programmer cannot find out how to run a mono app within 30 minutes then i say good night mono. [07:49] no_gravity: your choice, one you get the environment setup, it will fly [07:50] ActionParsnip: i dont think so. the environment is "apt-get install mono-complete" right? im lost after that. [07:51] ActionParsnip: ok, i give mono one more chance, install it and see if after that i have any clue how to run that app... [07:52] no_gravity: I'd see if there are any how-tos on the ubuntuforums too, the package should install a lot of what you need [07:52] ActionParsnip: hmm...

[08:09] i just tried to install gnome3 on my 11.04 machine, and when i restarted my system gets as far as "stopping system v runlevel compatibility [ok]" and then the machine just stops [08:09] i can get to the command line by doing alt+f1, alt+f2 etc [08:09] but it doesn't start X [08:09] i have tried to start X from the command line but i just get a black screen [08:10] i have tried to start gdm from the command line and i just get "Failed to aquire org.Gnome.Displaymanager" "Failed to aquire name, bailing out" [08:10] has anybody seen this error before, does anybody know what i can do to fix it or what might be wrong?

Mono runs the .exe files when you do "mono the.exe" Thank you for your support! [08:13] Uatec[Ubuntu]: gnome3 isn't supported in Natty, I suggest you ask in #gnome [08:13] ServerTechLaptop: try adding the boot option: nomodeset [08:14] no_gravity: cool. Np man :) [08:14] ActionParsnip: CRAP! the website i was following looked all confident and just "this is how we do it" [08:15] !gnome3 | Uatec[Ubuntu] [08:15] Uatec[Ubuntu]: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and cannot be downgraded safely. [08:15] oh crap [08:15] Uatec[Ubuntu]: if you want gnome3 SOOOO badly, reinstall with Oneiric. Gnome3 is not compatible with Natty [08:16] i don't want it THAT badly, i just didn't know it would cause so much trouble :( [08:16] hi i'm back [08:16] what's oneiric? (i'm stuck at the command line now :( ) [08:17] 38795oops [08:17] oops [08:17] ikonia: Righto.

Say, I want ubuntu.* to include "ubuntu-restricted-extras" but EXCLUDE "ubuntu-desktop" (just as an example, the actual situation includes too many packages to list) [08:31] What is this migration/? running on my computer?? [08:31] how do i cut of a file at a certain line that i can regexp-match? [08:31] hi [08:33] theadmin: grep -v will in(v)ert the grep (find things hich aren't what you grep for) [08:33] i am using ubuntu lucid as guest on xen 4.0 and when i migrate to natty it setups grub2 and i lose my pygrub boot... [08:33] is there a way to make it skips grub2 install during mirgration to natty? [08:34] pierre_, no [08:34] ActionParsnip: How could I use grep for this, though? [08:34] Uatec[Ubuntu]: you can run: sudo do-release-upgrade -d and go from natty to oneiric asit is the (d)evelopment (unstable) branch [08:34] I tried to purge it afterward and ut grub-legacy back but it is not working [08:34] pierre_, and indeed that wouldbe ill adviced [08:35] Younder, I tried several time and it doesn't work.. [08:35] theadmin: if you have a list of packages,or have an installed OS you want to clone you can use the !clone factoid then grep etc the packages [08:36] ActionParsnip: Well, APT supports (basic) regular expressions to match against. So, "ubuntu.*" would match all packages starting with "ubuntu". How would I go about doing the same, but removing ubuntu-desktop out of that list? [08:36] theadmin: dpkg -l | grep '^ubuntu' | grep -v ubuntu-desktop [08:37] ActionParsnip: That matches only installed packages. [08:37] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 see grub1 vs. grub2 [08:37] theadmin: hmm,the version numbers have the word ubuntu in [08:37] theadmin: gimme a sec [08:38] ActionParsnip: Again, that's only ever helpful for installed packages, I need to search the whole apt-cache out, hmm... [08:39] ActionParsnip: I probably would want to use apt-cache search + awk, then. [08:39] theadmin: dpkg -l | awk '{ print $2 }' | grep ubuntu | grep -v ubuntu-desktop [08:40] theadmin: if you want to change dpkg -l for apt-cache search it should be ok [08:40] if it support regex, just "^ubuntu" [08:41] apt-cache search . | awk '{ print $1 }' | grep ubuntu | grep -v ubuntu-desktop [08:42] 179 results ;) [08:43] I can enter a website in firefox, but don't get any response on ping (this is a site that should answer) [08:44] tasslehoff: got to be a firewall [08:44] tasslehoff: or your browsing the web with a proxy [08:44] tasslehoff, no, it does'nt have to. It can be blocked by the firewall [08:45] tasslehoff, I wards off some script kiddies from further examining your machines [08:46] ikonia: Younder: it happened after I upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04. [08:46] Younder: you mean a default firewall in 11.04? [08:47] tasslehoff, ufw? That's basically iptables [08:47] tasslehoff: tried another browser? [08:47] tasslehoff, no ping would be enabled by defaults [08:48] hi there, help with network manager [08:48] ActionParsnip: git over https, firefox and chrome work fine. apt as well. ping and pidgin (gtalk) does not. [08:49] tasslehoff, on the command line try to ping it [08:49] !ask| SNSK [08:49] SNSK: 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. :-) [08:50] how can i make all applications to be always online even there is no connection in networ manager [08:50] Younder: that's what I did before my initial Q :) I get no reply on a command line ping. [08:50] I'll check if our network admin have done some funky stuff [08:50] tasslehoff: then it's being firewalled [08:51] tasslehoff, and uou just did ufw enable? [08:51] ikonia: perhaps I got a new IP when I upgraded [08:51] Younder: no, haven't touched it. [08:52] SNSK: don't use network manager then ~ config the /etc/network/interfaces [08:52] anyone here running Ubuntu on a macbook? [08:52] tasslehoff, well you should.. anyhow ping is port 23 [08:53] ping is not a port, it's icmp [08:53] wildbat, okay you tell me what to edit in /etc/network/interfaces [08:53] so just log into te machine and check ising fstat if the proes is connected and working [08:53] telnet is port 24 [08:53] Younder: port 23 is telnet [08:53] 23 [08:53] sorry === klaas_ is now known as klaas [08:54] SNSK: that's depends what you need and you system . [08:54] wildbat, i am connection through pon poff method which is not registered in network manager and so i cannot use evolution or or other connected apps, they always stay offline [08:54] so just log into the machine and check using fstat if the proes is connected and working [08:54] wildbat, but when i uninstall network managet everything works fine [08:54] Younder: what are you talking about, he's asking why ping isn't responding..... [08:55] but is there any way to do same with network manager [08:55] crap [08:55] update-manager crashes when i try to upgrade to 11.10 :( [08:55] This drops ping in iptables -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -j DROP [08:56] Younder: it doesn't have to be on his machine, it could be on the remote machine, a firewall in between or the router he goes out of [08:56] ikonia, yes, I know [08:56] I have an issue where wget only works if I sudo... This comes after a failed attempt at getting squid3 running (I aborted). Anyone know how I might be able to fix? [08:57] it is most likely remote, since the nw-admin has played around a bit lately [08:57] I'll check with him [08:57] anyone that can help out on this problem , it seems that eth0 got an old ip , need to restart the network , but when doing a start/stop/restart , im getting this error : ifdown couldnt read interfaces file etc/network/interfaces : ifup couldnt read interfaces file etc/network/interfaces any hints ? Computer aint using any router ? [08:58] TWiSTEDSO: sudo dhclient3 eth0 [08:59] ActionParsnip: testing , thnks [08:59] wildbat, any ideas [09:00] SNSK: sorry i don't know any pon/poff. but NM should interface with that ... [09:01] SNSK: can you ping 8.8.8.8? with NM installed? [09:02] ActionParsnip: THNKS it solved the problem :) [09:02] SNSK: pppoe or simple dialup? installing modemmanager should make those connections available in networkmanager too [09:02] I need some help with my cdrom drive mounting and unmounting [09:02] llutz, dialup through bluetooth to my 3g mobile [09:02] boom [09:03] up until recently when I tried the /mount/dev/ command its been saying that "drive already mounted" every time I stick a cd into it [09:03] mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only [09:03] yes [09:03] what does that mean? [09:03] wildbat, yes [09:03] I didn't used to do that [09:03] even after I restarted the computer [09:03] SNSK: that DNS problem then ~ you do have internet. [09:04] SNSK: NM tend to override the DNS setting. [09:04] could anyone give me some help please? [09:05] how should i red aout the cpu freakweency? [09:05] SNSK: maybe this helps http://goo.gl/Rucvs [09:05] wildbat, i have internet, but since my network manager does not recognize it it shows a dimond and evolution takes it as there is no connection and atays offline, everything works fine if i uninstall my network manager' [09:05] xosuitehearts: cdrom is writeprotected thoug you can't write anything into it, except burning [09:05] xosuitehearts, check your USB ports. You might have a key logger [09:05] hello prince akeem [09:05] SNSK, read that should be helpful. ~ thpu don't NM can dailup 3g now ?? ~ [09:06] Younder I dont have a keylogger mate [09:06] can you say what kind of mechanism set the intel cpu frequency in ubunu? [09:06] llutz, i use same procedure [09:06] thinced so what exactly does mounting and unmounting mean? [09:07] thinced, is it giving me that message because the media I have in it is write protected? [09:07] thinced mounting it and unmounting wouldnt really have much affect? [09:07] wildbat, my network manager cannot connect to my 3g phone, i tried a lot so i have to use ponpoff method [09:08] llutz, i have internet, but since my network manager does not recognize it it shows a dimond and evolution takes it as there is no connection and atays offline, everything works fine if i uninstall my network manager' [09:08] SNSK: then why don't you just remove network-manager? [09:09] SNSK, just add nameserver back you should be fine. since you can ping 8.8.8.8. ps. you can use 8.8.8.8 as your DNS override. [09:09] SNSK: theres wicd (wifi) and /etc/network/interfaces (wired), no need for nm at all [09:09] ikonia: Younder: ping was indeed blocked in our firewall, and pidgin didn't work because it tried to use Gnome Proxy settings. [09:10] llutz, i do that, but i was wondering if any of you people can give me simple edit in configuration files to make my problem solve [09:10] but even your solution is nice and i will try that [09:12] anyone know how to use truecrypt auto mount? [09:13] hmmm truecrypt is increasely popular ~ but why..... hmmm . [09:14] wildbat, wee I use it on Home [09:14] wildbat: because it's a good program? is there a problem with it? [09:15] nothing ~ just curious :) [09:15] wildbat, it's a simple block cipher that makes it more difficult to steal important data [09:15] wildbat: because it's the only one to not put a "this is encrypted" label on your device [09:17] only problem is documentation sucks ... reading the source === Guest77802 is now known as epzil0n [09:18] reading its website now :) [09:18] Dmole: are you trying to do something especific? because I found it very straightforward to use [09:18] thinced hello? still there?

[09:21] interesting ~ it support whole system encrption on windows but not linux . [09:21] Dmole: I not sure what are you trying to do. I just used it sometime ago to create a folder that I would mount form time to time [09:21] wildbat: you sure about that? [09:21] wildbat: 99.157.204.243 is that your IP? cause it shown up on xchat [09:22] Younder: may be , why ? [09:22] ? [09:22] ahh a ping issue [09:22] ? === Guest23433 is now known as LjL-Temp [09:23] never mind [09:23] does linux support dolby truehd (E-AC3/MLP) and DTS-HD Master Audio(DTS+++) yet?

[09:30] Uatec[Ubuntu]: are you a member of the admin group? [09:30] Uatec[Ubuntu], you knew wrong [09:30] Uatec[Ubuntu]: try nl.archive.ubuntu.org or whatever you like, set it in your sources.list [09:31] Uatec[Ubuntu]: What's the exact error? [09:31] 403 is a serverside error, nothing to do on client side [09:31] Dmole, I need to have a domain point to a directory on a linode I have setup but rather than have linode_ip/website I just want the domain to be the whole url [09:31] in case of apt-get failing [09:31] llutz_: Actually, no; it's a user error in this case. [09:32] Uatec[Ubuntu]: Your sources.list file is wrong. [09:32] jpds: if apt-get fails with 403?? [09:32] llutz_: Yes, look closely at the URL.

[10:09] pfcmaleta, I have my TV on a SV3 onnection === tum is now known as Guest85797 [10:10] pfcmaleta: look into the mainboards-manual, shared slots should be shown there [10:10] llutz: ok [10:10] pfcmaleta, what ports does your graphics card provide? [10:11] anyone know what might cause the CPU to spike for about 20sec every 5min or so making everything but applet displays and mouse unresponsive?

[10:11] Hi, I'm trying to boot an old fujitsu siemens laptop into Ubuntu, but it just stops on a black screen when (I assume) it tries to switch to X. The failsafe X option works ok. I have tried the boot options like i915.modeset=1 and xforcevesa but no luck. Any ideas? [10:11] Younder: I don't understand...how do you think 'card provide slots'? You think in what slot is inserted? [10:12] Sterist: are u looking at IO waits in Top too? [10:12] pfcmaleta, I see from a picture on the internet that it in cat has a SVE slot [10:12] llutz_: do you have a openVPN working?? [10:12] pfcmaleta, I see from a picture on the internet that it in cat has a SV3 slot [10:12] g3nt3lg1ant: nope, using pptp [10:13] llutz_: is that easier to set up and us?? [10:13] pfcmaleta, now go to NVIDEA.. and select clone etc [10:13] guest71771 no, what should i be keeping an eye out for? [10:13] llutz_: use* [10:13] guest72771 [10:14] okay..i will try to do that...i don't know what to do with link you gave me 2 mins ago [10:14] g3nt3lg1ant: i doubt it, its just a personal limitation here. android phones need to be rooted for openvpn, not for pptp :) openvpn should not be hard to setup, tutorials are on openvpn.org too [10:14] pfcmaleta, first get a cablee [10:14] llutz_: okay sweet thanks for all the help [10:16] hey [10:17] is any one here [10:17] tester: no [10:17] guest72771 ? [10:17] pfcmaleta, You also need to check that you a a SV3 port on your TV [10:18] Sterist: Sorry, what was the question.. cpu spike, and u see nothing in top? [10:18] pfcmaleta, altso called a VHS-S [10:21] Younder: Ok..i will check all that...thnx for help [10:22] is there somewhere a imq enabled 11.04 kernel?

[10:32] my monitor is rated for 1280x1024 max [10:32] c_nick: have you issued one of these commands?

[10:37] don't know..but certainly not mine [10:37] on a computer which is running on windows? [10:37] llutz i went to $HOME and there i unhid the hidden files and double clicked on the .profiles and edited the same [10:37] ynick: search for Wubi installation [10:38] ok [10:38] ynick, you install the Disc and follow the instructions [10:38] ok [10:38] ynick, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation [10:39] can i install ubuntu on windows and still achieve the enhanced speed? [10:40] ynick, yes [10:40] ok [10:40] beside windows yes, in windows less so [10:40] ynick: only harddisk operations might be a little slower iirc [10:40] ynick, but you run either or [10:40] or? [10:40] ynick: If you use wubi, it will be slower than the alternative [10:41] ynick,one OS at a time [10:41] wubi can be problematic. i reccinend a normal install instead of wubi [10:41] ynick: best way is to install it normally from the live session [10:41] +1 for dual boot [10:41] ok [10:41] if you just want to test ubuntu. wubi or virtualbox are handy [10:42] Dmole, what is a dual boot? [10:42] Younder: means having two oses installed, selectable at boot time [10:42] Younder: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [10:42] soreau, I know. [10:43] hey, if i run update-grub from a live cd, will that restore my grub installation? [10:43] soreau, but that +1 thing makes no sense [10:43] apparently not or you wouldnt have asked [10:44] Younder: +1 typically indicated agreement [10:44] crshbndct: if you do it right [10:44] !fixgrub [10:44] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[10:48] Xdept, Iam assuming he installs it, not just runs it from disk [10:48] Hello! I downloaded the google chrome deb and tried to install it with "dpkg -i". but it tells me "package xdg-utils is not installed". what did i do wrong? [10:49] no_gravity: did you try and install xdg-utils with apt-get?

[10:49] hay [10:49] dr_willis, I know [10:49] whats up? [10:49] Younder, Loading the Disk in Windows will let you Dual Boot it.

[10:50] no_gravity: probable google chrome that package to work [10:50] ok, i try to install the xdg thingy then [10:50] jrtech: but i thought dependencies are handled outomatically? [10:50] no_gravity: its just telling you what other packages are need for the chrome.deb to work [10:51] bastidrazor: has dpkg a switch to install all needed dependencies? [10:51] no_gravity: only when using a package manager like apt-get or synaptic. [10:51] need help with bluetooth dial up please guys [10:51] bastidrazor: can i tell apt-get to install the deb file? [10:51] how to know that my pc is 32 bit or 64 bit also if my pc is 32 bit then which linux version is good for me like i386 686 or x86_63 [10:51] no_gravity: gdebi foo.deb does do that [10:51] ptkubuntu, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothDialup [10:51] dr_willis: ok, let me try that [10:52] dr_willis: i dont have gdebi [10:52] MiteshShah: whats your cpu?

[10:53] dr_willis: I'm new here so I don't know how to check it ? [10:53] dr_willis: i installed the xdg thing now and now chrome installed [10:53] dr_willis: can you give me command that help me [10:53] no_gravity: gdebi is worth remembering [10:54] MiteshShah: cat /proc/cpuinfo [10:54] MitesShah: Are you in Ubuntu now? lscpu gives you information about the processor [10:54] ptkubuntu, incidentally your phone IS recognized by ubuntu [10:55] dr_willis: its Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.40GHz [10:56] MiteshShah, a so so cpu and.. [10:57] MiteshShah: grep " lm " /proc/cpuinfo [10:57] MiteshShah, you need to us the 32 bit version [10:58] http://www.makeuseof.com/answers/connect-micromax-q5-bluetooth-modem-ubuntu-1104/ [10:58] stilll does not solve my problem [10:58] Younter:can you help [11:00] Younder: llutz_: how to know its 32 bit or not that's my question? I don't like ask every time to this community when some 1 ask me which is good ubuntu for their pc that's why I want to know how to tell those people that 32 bit is good 4 you are cpu or 64 bit is good or x86_64 [11:01] MiteshShah: grep " lm " /proc/cpuinfo checks for "lm" = longmode=64bit flag. lscpu also tells you 32/64 [11:01] MiteshShah, I know it only supports 32 bit despite of EM64' [11:02] MiteshShah, I had one myself [11:03] Younder: llutz_: when running grep its show nothing but lscpu shows Architecture: i686 [11:03] CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit [11:03] MiteshShah, you need to us the 32 bit version [11:03] MiteshShah: grep " lm " gives nothing on 32bit-cpu, thats right [11:04] Hi, I have a question regarding how to auto shutdown ubuntu clients during the night. Can I ask here? [11:04] Younder: llutz_: again confusion which ubuntu download 32bit or i686? [11:04] MiteshShah: i686 is 32bit [11:04] Hi all, I just installed a new version with Nautilus as default file manager. I always used Dolphin under Gnome but I now see it needs 230 MB space for installing. Can I reduce that amount ? [11:04] MiteshShah, 32 [11:04] MiteshShah: amd64 would be 64bit [11:04] Hoatzin, no [11:05] llutz, who cares THAT is NOT what he has [11:05] Hoatzin, it will require to install a lot Qt libraries not installed by default in gnome, that's why it's using that mush space [11:05] Younder: llutz_: some linux provides 32 bit iso download and some also have i386 or i686 iso to download so I think i686 and 32 bit both iso works fine 4 me on this pc? [11:05] llutz, he has a Intel Celleron 2.4 GHZ [11:05] I've been tasked with making sure the computers in the students workroom are turned of at night. I think setting a boot time in BIOS to start them up in the morning and a cronjob running the shutdown command at 5 pm. Is this the best solution? What if some students are staying late and the machine suddenly shuts down and they lose all their work? The machines are running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, hardware: Dell CX280, pentium4. There is no [11:05] glebihan: Thanks, then Dolphin will be my most expensive app, np. Thanks [11:06] Hoatzin, you're welcome [11:06] Have a good day all [11:06] MiteshShah: right, as i said: refuse to get amd64 or ia64, all other namings should be ok [11:06] MiteshShah, should be fine [11:07] Younder: llutz_: yes I have Intel Celleron 2.4 GHZ architect i386 and cpu os mode 32 bit [11:08] Younder: llutz_: thanks a lot I'm always confusing in to tell friends which version to download [11:09] Lanoultra, I think cron is your best option, however we cannot help you on the base decision (is it a good idea to automatically shutdown the computers ?) [11:10] Lanoultra: I don't if this is possible but maybe you can let the script look if there are any open application outside the default ones always started. [11:11] hello everyone [11:12] Thanks, I do want to display a dialog box, that says: Shutdown in 1 hour or press Cancel. Is there a built in options for that in ubuntu? [11:12] hey, i got ubuntu 11.4 , how can i downgrade php5.3 to 5.2 ? [11:14] !info php [11:14] Package php does not exist in natty [11:14] !info php5 [11:14] php5 (source: php5): server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (metapackage). In component main, is optional. Version 5.3.5-1ubuntu7.2 (natty), package size 1 kB, installed size 20 kB [11:14] Lanoultra, I don't think there's an option for that, and it's going to be hard to implement with cron, as cron doesn't run inside the desktop environment [11:15] i imagine you dont normally downgrade php [11:15] hey, i just made a backup of my /home folders and there was a .Trash* folder. is it safe to remove it? [11:16] my server at the hosted account is 5.2 [11:16] i want the dev to be the same thats the problem [11:16] !trash [11:16] 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. [11:16] can i uninstall wubi after installing it without any problems? [11:16] ynick: yes, goto add/remove applications in windows [11:16] ynick: thats one of its main features [11:16] ok [11:17] sudo apt-get install php5 apache [11:17] wow... that was no help at all dr_willis [11:17] i mean the /home/.Trash* folder [11:17] ynick, use PHP5 then, 4 is not relevant [11:18] dr_wills : thank you [11:18] Baarn: thats an odd location for it. i delete mine all the time [11:18] dr_willis, well I don't mine works just fine [11:19] cvtyq [11:19] Baarn: its above the users home dirs? wonder how it got there [11:19] dr_willis: ok thanks, i will just delete it then, there is some pretty old stuff stored in there and its quite big [11:20] dr_willis: i wondered aswell, just recognized it while doing rsync from my server [11:20] Younder: your trash works fine? [11:20] dr_willis, It should be in /var/www [11:21] Younder: what should be? [11:21] I have a package installed (membase-server) on one machine and I want to install it on another, but it doesn't exist there. Their sources.list and sources.list.d/* looks the same but still nothing. [11:21] dr_willis, Iapache files [11:21] How can I see from what repo a specific package comes from? [11:21] tobiassj1sten: apt-cache policy membase-server [11:21] tobiassj1sten, It tell you [11:21] Does anyone know how I can edit boot.ini on Vista from Linux? (fscked up a Wubi installation) [11:22] emj, yes [11:22] Younder: you're making little sense. [11:22] once i install wubi do i have to install my favorate programs in it? [11:22] emj: its a text file. back it up and use a text editor [11:22] dr_willis: Ah yes I just can't seem o find boot.ini.. :-) [11:23] ynick: huh? you install what apps you want same as a normal istall [11:23] bastidrazor, what? [11:23] dr_wills: ok [11:24] bastidrazor: Only tells me "/var/lib/dpkg/status". Does that mean it was installed outside of a repo? [11:24] Younder: some of your rambling advice is nonsense. [11:24] dr_willis, Younder: "Vista has a different bootloader and there is no boot.ini file" So any clue how to do it on Vista? [11:24] tobiassj1sten: yes [11:24] bastidrazor, could you be more concrete? [11:25] tobiassj1sten: not necessarily. It just means that you currently do have a repository with the package [11:25] Hi [11:25] emj no idea. i hate wubi [11:25] where can i get sun-java6-jdk version 24 deb package for 10.04 ? [11:25] geez firefox 4+ is freezes non stop [11:25] kaushal__, I did that yesterday [11:25] When it's time to move to the next Ubuntu relase in a month or so, does the upgrade process reinstall all the software I got rid of? For example, I don't need evolution, so I uninstalled it. With the 11.10 upgrade, does it come back? [11:25] release* [11:26] Younder: Any url please ? [11:26] jrib: You meant I "don't", right? [11:26] tobiassj1sten: yes [11:26] benoliver999: only stuff actually installed would be upgraded [11:26] kaushal__, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java [11:26] dr_willis: It's surprisingly good actually. I managed to install 50 Ubuntu machines by just using Windows sysadmin tools.. :-) [11:26] llutz: Thanks. [11:27] Younder: i need .deb package [11:27] bfn [11:27] emj i will pass on it. seen too many issues with it [11:27] kaushal__, for what? [11:27] bbl === EgyParadox is now known as xodaraPygE [11:28] kaushal__, get eclipse [11:28] hey i have a problem with partitioning a harddrive with linux [11:28] zackington, what problem [11:29] zackington, you could probaly make due with 5 [11:29] well i set 20gb to ext4 for the usual linux space, but i want to set the rest as ntfs but i cant seem to find this feature [11:29] dr_willis: Such as, would be interesting to know... Anyway I'm just using it as a tool to boot Linux, which it is very good at.. [11:29] can I setup local repositary server just like fedora yum and createrepo like in ubuntu? [11:30] because i want windows aswell. Will windows install on fat32? [11:30] what partitioner are you using zackington ? [11:30] btw, install windows first, gonna save you some time [11:30] when you install linux im using that one [11:30] zackington, don't go there. FAT32 i evil [11:30] jrib, bastidrazor, Younder: Thanks for the help! [11:31] windows will format the rest as ntfs anyway [11:31] yeah i know thats why i need ntfs [11:31] When I play QuakeLive on Firefox in Ubuntu I occassionally lose sound, and can only get it back by restarting Firefox. Could this be a QL issue, FF or Ubuntu? I've had similar sound problems before [11:31] just leave unpartitioned space [11:31] tobiassj1sten: you're welcome [11:31] yeah it wont let me continue without partioning the rest [11:31] then you're doing something wrong [11:32] zackington, It will nol allow files larger than 4Gb which will foul up any video recording [11:32] zackington: that doesn't sound like Ubuntu's partition manager. what 'linux' are you installing? [11:32] just 11.04 ubuntu [11:32] and have fun booting the livecd to reinstall grub once windows writes over your MBR [11:32] -> install windows first [11:32] does anyone know how to remove one dock in AWN ? cause I have multiple copies running and cant seem to close just one.. and when I google it i cant find anything relevant [11:32] zackington, then use the partion manager [11:32] and the error when i leave the free space is ' no root file system is defined' [11:33] zackington, ouch [11:33] zackington, then it has nothing to do with the free space [11:33] am i screwed lol? [11:33] hallgeirg: ps aux|grep -i avant then pick two of the three PID's to kill [11:33] dude, install windows first [11:33] zackington, you most likely didn't define any partition to mount on / [11:33] ahh shit my bad i forgot lol [11:33] then just let ubuntu auto-partition what you left for it form the win install [11:33] ahh im so stupid [11:34] thank you [11:34] i was spending hours as a retard lol [11:34] bastidrazor: how do i kill the process? [11:34] if you dont even know how to partition you're probably gonna spend some more reinstalling grub from the livecd [11:34] we all are.. [11:35] omg got another error 'input/output error during read on /dev/sda' know what this is <<< [11:35] hallgeirg: the 2nd number listed in the ps aux command will be its PID number.. kill PID [11:35] bastidrazor: thanks [11:35] hallgeirg, ps aux | grep name and then kill -9 PID (first entry in PS) [11:35] hallgeirg: the first number rather.. 2nd column [11:36] Younder: why use -9? === zendeavr is now known as zendeavor [11:36] ? [11:37] installing from liveusb zackington ? [11:37] bastidrazor, it is a SIGKILL. It will always work [11:37] live cd [11:37] Younder: i know what it is. its a bit harsh to do and doesn't allow things to exit properly [11:37] well, there's something fishy with you harddrive then [11:38] yeah i used before to erase it with UBCD but i think that screwed it up... [11:38] bastidrazor, true, but then why are you not exiting the normal way. Probably because the program as crashed... [11:39] bastidrazor: i do what you told me, and it only kills one icon on the dock [11:39] s/as/has/ [11:39] hallgeirg, dock? [11:39] or rather say it has crashed [11:40] Younder: yes AWN [11:40] hallgeirg: you could kill them all and restart AWN. killall avant-window-navigator [11:40] Younder, just as a side-note, kill -9 does not *always* work [11:41] bastidrazor: ok, i just did that and all 4 docks restarted [11:43] bastidrazor: http://paste.ubuntu.com/689115/ [11:43] hallgeirg: that shows 1 dock running with multiple applets. [11:44] I need some help regarding sudo [11:44] hallgeirg, ugh [11:44] bastidrazor: ok, then my first question was wrong, [11:44] Hi, I want to make vlc the default program for DVD's, currently it's movie player. How do I do it? [11:45] hallgeirg: it appears you have duplicate applets on the dock. [11:45] my question is then: how do i fix what you just said.. :) [11:45] I made a mistake regarding the /etc/sudoers [11:45] hi folks, I have started to look into using encryption to a higher extent. I noticed that seahorse can store general passwords which seems nice.However, I do not see how I can export these, and how does it work if I need to share them between computers. Anyone know? [11:45] I changed the permissions to something other than 0440 [11:45] hallgeirg: right click each unwanted applet and remove from dock [11:45] and the problem is that I can't change it [11:46] As sudoers doesn't work [11:46] genevieve, you'll have to boot on a live CD to correct this [11:46] genevieve: use a live-cd [11:46] bastidrazor: when i rightclick i can choose: dock prefs - quit (closes everything) and about [11:47] http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [11:47] I found that online glebihan, llutz_ [11:47] hallgeirg: remove the applet [11:47] the problem with this is that GRUB doesn't show on boot [11:48] I hold down shift and nothing happens [11:48] bastidrazor: got it.. thanks! [11:48] (it's a single boot OS, on a netbook) [11:48] hallgeirg: you're welcome [11:48] (so live CD is kinda out of the question) [11:49] bastidrazor: just one more small thing: do you know how to add one to the other monitor? [11:50] genevieve, how about a live USB ? [11:50] well I have an iPod so I could create a live USB out of that [11:52] genevieve, then you should probably try that, just make sure that you can boot from your iPod [11:52] I read this article http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1207830 and I followed the steps but when i put in a dvd the file window still says open with movie player. How do I change it to make VLC default? [11:52] are you sure there isn't another way glebihan? [11:53] Guys is there a way to get which is the last nautilus path opened trought a script or C/C++ .. [11:53] genevieve, well if you can't access to recovery mode (and I'm not even sure that would work), I don't see any other solution [11:53] bastidrazor: found it.. have a nice day [11:53] hi... i'm trying to play dvd movie using videolan... but the audio is out of sync with the video... has anyone experienced this before? [11:53] okay I'll try it and be back [11:54] How can I dl. and extract thise file: http://www.foxsurfer.com/wordnet/wordnet.php.tgz [11:54] why it is opening in a browser, and not downloading?

Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion. [12:02] oal, It isn't [12:02] Aha, thanks [12:02] is there a development channel [12:02] Don't use it in production environments.. [12:02] ? [12:02] sastudio: #ubuntu-devel [12:03] Thank you! [12:03] gregory_, there is a production version [12:03] what do you mean? [12:03] yea,what do you mean [12:03] ? [12:03] gregory_, that updates about every 4 years [12:04] LTS [12:04] don't use ubuntu 11.10 in a production environment [12:04] yeah 10.04 LTS is good for production environment but not 11.10 [12:04] i want to open port 80 in my router, for i have a server with website at home... how (un)safe is this? hints & tips? [12:04] gregory_, http://www.ubuntu.com/business/services/overview [12:05] If you just use good security it is not a problem [12:05] I'm giving it a try in Virtualbox [12:06] Ok, every variant of "make vlc default dvd player ubuntu 11.04" is not getting me the answers I need. How do I uninstall movie player? [12:06] MonkeyDust, don't [12:06] MonkeyDust: It is perfectly safe. [12:07] Pici, no it isn't [12:07] I know but if someone asks if 11.10 is stable.. it isn't safe to use in production environments.. [12:07] Cause its still in development [12:08] MonkeyDust, Younder: There is nothing inherently unsafe about forwarding port 80. If your website itself is insecure, then thats a whole different issue. [12:09] Pici, He doesn't have a webcite. HTTP is the NR 1 source of hacks. Always keep it off cite [12:09] @MonkeyDust make sure permissions in your machine are as they should be. [12:10] Younder: You're not making much sense. [12:10] bob_: Try gnome-default-applications-properties [12:10] bob_: FWIW, movie player = totem [12:11] is there any mouse shortcut to minimize windows on gnome 3? [12:12] ! gnome3 | NotDead [12:12] NotDead: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu.

[12:13] is there a way to get netflix on boxee in ubuntu, or is that not going to happen? [12:13] octocpp: not going to happen, unless you run it within a virtual machine. [12:13] that doesnt rly answers my question but i might be asking on a wrong place, soreau [12:13] octocpp: Rather, in a virtual machine running windows on your Ubuntu computer.

[12:19] amin`: lm-sensors [12:19] so don't poit a http server without a second firewall behind it or better have it off-cite [12:20] Younder, second firewall ? why ? [12:20] Hiyas all [12:20] soreau, anything else. does it show the tep of hard and cpu ? [12:20] OerHeks, HTTP server are the most likely to be hacked [12:21] OerHeks, always assume they have [12:21] Younder, you are making noise, this is not true. [12:21] amin`: It attempts to use all sensors it can find afaiu [12:21] OerHeks, read the book I mentioned above [12:22] Younder: you believe everything you read on the internet? [12:22] it's written in a book, it must be true [12:23] DUH! [12:23] hi! ok to ask about "gave up waiting for root device" here? [12:24] jensp_, yes [12:24] anyone familiar with casper? I'd like to use cifsroot, it is included in the initramfs by default right? [12:24] jensp_: usually means you have wrong /etc/mtab or wrong root line in your grub entry [12:24] jensp_, though your message is a first to me [12:24] amin`: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto this goes along with lm-sensors [12:25] ok. i've reinstalled ubuntu 11.04 and 10.04 lts several times the last few days. last year, i had minor trouble with this happening, on 10.04. [12:25] the last few weeks, 11.04 would almost never boot. [12:26] i can just pass kernel codes e.g. "append initrd=casperblah.tar.gz netboot=cifs nfsroot=//somesambaip/share,user=y,pass=z ip=dhcp rootwait" ? [12:26] jensp_, did you read the message by sourau above [12:26] it almost always boots the first time after i have had windows running, but not directly without booting windows first. [12:26] yes, making a note of it. [12:27] Younder, your 'book' is from 2003, little outdated, not ? [12:27] OerHeks, I would hope so [12:27] i've edited the grub parameters, removing the entire uuid andreplacing it with root=/dev/sda6, etc. [12:28] yesterday, i changed the fstab accordingly too. seemed to work fine, until now, when i powered my pc on again [12:28] mtab != fstab [12:29] true, i know, i was not familiar with mtab until you mentioned it [12:29] any takers? casper bootcode syntax for cifsroot? too lazy to roll my own initramfs [12:29] i installed lm-sensors and xsensors its GUI. but it only shows my cpu temp and just one core of it. what is wrong? [12:29] googled extensively, only saw the suggestion to make the uuid-change in fstab, no mention of mtab, so i'll have to get acquainted with it shortly [12:30] what's the difference in fstab between using UUID and /dev/deviceX [12:30] amin`: maybe that is all the sensors you have === tomodach1 is now known as tomodachi1 === tomodachi1 is now known as tomodachi [12:30] is there an ubuntu channel on freenode where people talk freely about software and what they think about it, etc? [12:30] sastudio: UUIDs are safer, they don't change just because you add drives/disks.

[12:37] eprasad: your bios might allow you to choose which drive is labeled as the first [12:37] eprasad, wait for it [12:37] eprasad: Install it and see what happens. You will likely have to reinstall grub from a live cd afterward to boot ubuntu again [12:37] I would like to present the user with a dialog button that says shutdown in 1 hour or press cancel. If they press cancel, the same dialog button appear again after a little while. Help? [12:38] Delphi_1, Yes I can do this through BIOS, But I want to see entries in grub, so i can easily switch between both [12:39] eprasad: great.. so switch to the new drive in the bios and install windows.. switch it back and update grub to show windows on the list [12:39] i install lm-sensors and it just shows my cpu temp and only one core of it why?

I just want to know the name of a program which shows all active processes in realtime in a terminal. [12:51] ServerTechLaptop, isnt that ps? [12:52] ServerTechLaptop, top or better htop [12:52] ServerTechLaptop: i vaguely remember seeing tools for that in the Utils section of the Debian archive [12:52] htop <3 [12:52] ahhughes: No, im talking realtime, which is not ps. [12:52] ServerTechLaptop, htop has be be downloaded [12:52] right, maybe its htop. [12:52] I just don't remember the name. [12:52] top is default on most systems [12:52] or watch 'ps -e' [12:52] top is not realtime [12:52] yeah, top's what I remember.... I have been of nix for too long!!! [12:52] its htop:D [12:53] htop is just a prettier alternative to top [12:53] htop isn't realtime, either [12:53] hi everyone [12:53] correct, but I don't think he wants it literally realtime. [12:53] so it will do :p [12:54] nothing is "real time", unless you are using a rt system, and even then there are hard real-time limits and soft real-time limits [12:54] * mosno shrugs... just sayin' [12:54] htop yeh [12:54] ethanol: yup. [12:54] does anyone have any experience with tftpd-hpa? [12:54] mosno, nothing is and if it was you would no be able to keep up with it :) [12:55] phormUlate & Younder, i mean that there are tools that can show transient processes much better than top/htop, not that they are literally realtime in the strictest sense [12:55] thanks. htop is what i wanted ^_^ [12:56] ServerTechLaptop, nop [12:56] monso, not without a rt kernel, nope, but sure... there are better tools [12:56] but then they hog resources, don't they [12:57] mosno: * that is [12:57] ok screw this, time to rebuild my initramfs...to hell with you casper! [12:57] here, htop is updating about every 3 seconds, its still fine [12:57] language [12:57] i am trying to run the android NDK, ndk-gdb gives Found running PID: 293 ERROR: Another debug session running, Use --force to kill it. but when i see TOP or try kill293 it says no such process [12:58] i see, that evokes a response, though seems little else does, -to hell with casper [12:59] c_nick, that would be init.d [12:59] hmm so i need to restart init.d [12:59] c_nick, which is a serious problem [12:59] c_nick, what is in /boot/ [13:00] Younder, lot of stuff [13:00] ls -al [13:00] phormUlate: depends on the implementation. if they're polling, sure. [13:01] phormUlate: it'll take some resources, yes [13:01] c_nick, take it to a paste page [13:01] phormUlate: but when you're trying to track transient processes that doesn't always matter. anyway, i'm rambling :P [13:02] real time only matters when lives/property/face are at stake [13:03] error while loading shared libraries: libdb-5.0.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [13:03] any1 knows what this error means [13:03] Goldline: it means that that file is missing (libdb-5.0.so) [13:03] And how can i add it?

I'm not sure where it goes / what package installs it [13:05] edbian nothing showed up with that cmd [13:05] Goldline: usually this sort of thing is caused by a wrong version number [13:05] Goldline: When are you getting that error? [13:05] Goldline: so there is no version of libdb installed at all. [13:05] That file has to be placed in /usr/local/bin isnt?

[13:15] use debootstrap [13:15] and compile gnome2 from source [13:16] or just use old packages and cross fingers [13:16] http://paste.ubuntu.com/689177/ [13:16] and now? [13:17] if unity is the only ui in 11.10, its back to debian for me === dougsko_ is now known as dougsko [13:17] you can just install other gui's [13:18] skule: y, that seems to be the right decision [13:18] skule: lambda_x It isn't the ONLY ui. It is installed by default. [13:18] Goldline: Well, two options, (because we don't know what the program is and what it does): 1) install libdb5* Or: 2) install libdb5.1 [13:18] Younder, basically this started when i ran android ndk-gdb too which is just like gdb .. so first instance started which bugged out then second time it said that error message [13:19] edbian: rly? then how to install gnome2 ? [13:19] Goldline: You might just try libdb5.1 first [13:19] i dont think boot is responsible [13:19] edbian, so you can still apt-get install gnome2 or something [13:19] no packages are available by default [13:19] lambda_x: skule I'm not sure about 11.10 (and gnome2) but right now, in 11.04 to get gnome2 log out, click your name, change the session, log in [13:19] and why this oneconf-service is crashing all the time over and over again [13:19] what is core3 ? [13:19] lambda_x: for what it's worth, gnome2 in debian is rather nice (typing this from it now) [13:19] im using this cmd sudo apt-get install libdb5.1 [13:20] (fingers crossed) [13:20] edbian, ye its no problem in 11.04 [13:20] lambda_x: skule I was thinking more about (you know) all the other DEs, namely xfce, kde, awesome, gnome3, etc etc [13:20] mosno: I know debian, I moved to ubuntu at 8.04 [13:20] that didnt work [13:21] ./core3: error while loading shared libraries: libdb-5.0.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [13:21] what was the other cmd again? [13:21] * jiltdil hello [13:22] dr_willis, works, thank you. [13:22] edbian: in 11.04 there is no possibility to switch to gnome classic. when you aptitude install gnome-panel, you will get gnome3, with still broken unity-compiz and broken settings (without possibility to switch theme to anything low-contrast or change your fonts) [13:22] hello [13:22] lambda_x: in 11.04 (by default) there is a way to switch to gnome 2 (classic) [13:22] anyone here? [13:23] no [13:23] lambda_x: furthermore, if you installed gnome3 and cannot log into gnome2 anymore there is a way to undo that and get gnome2 once again [13:23] :) [13:23] i'm here huckleberry [13:23] edbian: I know, on 11.04 im working on gnome classic, now im testing 11.10 [13:23] edbian: how? [13:23] hey guys i am trying an install on a very low end old system.. when i boot with a usb stick i don't get the graphical desktop ... i m thrown in to a command line .... so could somebody please tell me the name of the installer program... and do i have to be su?

I do not know how [13:25] molqr: the desktop cd does not have a text based unstaller. but the alternative cd does by default [13:25] how to install flashplayer codec in chromium browser? [13:25] edbian, lambda_x I'm pretty sure returning to gnome2 after installing gnome3 is anything but trivial, downgrading package isn't easy. lambda_x see "/msg ubottu gnome3" [13:26] dr_willis: i see... so if i have to install on this system then i better burn the alternative cd to the usb drive.. is that right? [13:26] On my Dell Inspirion M5030 the FGLRX drivers hault the log in.

[13:29] dr_willis: strangely lspci tells me that i have an intel chipset ... i should get a graphics desktop right? ... the system is a mobile robot and came with debian 3 installed [13:29] !work | Persona24 [13:29] Persona24: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [13:29] molqr: intel makes a lot of chipsets. ;) [13:29] Alright [13:30] When I go to the login terminal there's just a blinking not [13:30] dot* [13:30] hi, is it possible to compile a driver without dvd drivers? [13:30] what login terminal.... [13:30] dr_willis: sorry ... i don't recall the exact chipset as right now i m on a different system trying to find a solution.. [13:30] The big terminal lol the full screen terminal [13:30] my problem is that my dvd drive is broken and that I cannot boot my ubuntu [13:30] zazi: huh? [13:31] hi there fellows > can you recommend the best antivirus software for linux please ??? [13:31] Anyone? [13:31] parapan: they all scan for windows virusesmainly. is that what you need? [13:31] sorry, dr_willis: my question should be: hi, is it possible to compile a kernel without dvd drivers? [13:32] are there any half decent free apache2 gui configuration tools or a browser interface etc? [13:32] would save many hours of work [13:32] zazi: ;) dvd uses the sata/scsi stuff so that may be hard. [13:32] zazi: why are you neding to do this exactly? [13:32] yeah, that is why I am asking here :) [13:33] my problem is that my dvd drive is broken and that I cannot boot my ubuntu [13:33] dr_willis: nice seeing you again ...wel ...yes and no ....I use USB medias which are coming from windows world ...but I can use some protection for ubuntu also ..... [13:33] my dvd drive is sata btw [13:34] zazi: that disent make much sence. what does it do ? ni grub? no post? [13:34] zapotah: there's webmin (not advised) and eBox [13:34] zazi: just unplug it. or disable in bios [13:34] it loads grub and I can boot windows [13:34] hi, I just bought a laptop and I need to connect to my wifi with static ip at home, and sometimes be able to use dhcp (mainly at work). Do I need to reconfigure the wlan each time or there's a way to have both configurations available? [13:35] why isnt webmin advised? :D [13:35] !webmin [13:35] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [13:35] dr_willis: yeah, I am really thinking about to unplug it [13:35] :/ [13:35] MarcoPau: Configuring from the Network Connections window, you can configure settings based on WiFi network names [13:36] hi guys, a wine application crash and all my bar disappeered but i still have firefox shell etc, what command i have to type to refresh the X to get the bar back? [13:36] zazi: to clarify. the system boots byt hangs at some point? [13:36] or I have look again whether I can disable it in the kernel, although I thought that there was not an option for this [13:36] eBox should work no problem? [13:36] yep, when it tries to detect the dvd drive [13:36] KingJohn: ok, but dhcp or static ip usually has to do with the wireless card and not with the connection settings... do you think it'll work the same? [13:36] zapotah: try ut [13:37] gotta set up a new vm ---> [13:37] try it out before putting it to production [13:38] MarcoPau: Are you using Wired connections? [13:38] in0cula, gnome or unity? (or other) [13:39] KingJohn: nope [13:39] zapotah: http://www.linuxuser.co.uk/tutorials/unified-network-administration-using-ebox/ [13:39] gnome [13:39] in0cula, "gnome-panel" [13:39] ths i try [13:40] exit [13:41] zykotick9> very good, and if i want to refresh every thing without logout exist some commands? [13:41] dr_willis: nice seeing you again ...wel ...yes and no ....I use USB medias which are coming from windows world ...but I can use some protection for ubuntu also .....

However doing a dry run, every combination of commands (e.g. rOltDvhu) shows them all syncing, even with size-only and checksum options (only the update timestamp differs), any help appreciated :) [13:45] (in rsync) [13:46] in0cula, no, there is no way to "refresh" (whatever that mean) everything will a single command - except by logging out or rebooting [13:49] cornelius66, syncing ext to ntfs will lose all file permission (POSIX metadata) in the process, not sure it that is related to you timestamp -- but what you're doing is silly. Good luck. [13:49] Are there any terminal games for Ubuntu? [13:49] Persona24: There are a number of them in the bsdgames package, and then theres nethack as well. [13:49] Persona24: omega-rpg [13:50] Persona24, in a terminal try "apt-cache search ncurses | grep game" for a couple [13:51] Hi there. just installed ubuntu 10.04 minimal on my zotac ION board.

[14:07] argT: i have kubuntu 11.04....will this fix my hibernate issue? [14:08] chirag_d_gr8: You should also run a test on your RAM. memtest [14:08] MonkeyDust: italian, not french [14:08] usr13: it is asking me to download a file [14:08] very good, do it. [14:08] <{Axxes}> does nobody use wavemaker :( [14:08] usr13: thanks for your help much appreciated [14:08] (It is asking you to install pastebinit) [14:09] !pastebinit | chirag_d_gr8 [14:09] chirag_d_gr8: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [14:09] xangua: i know the difference between french and italian, ok [14:09] chirag_d_gr8, i have natty, and its worked for my laptop [14:09] I installed gtkorphan to find out orphaned packages.

[14:11] memtest is a utility that tests your RAM [14:11] i installed kubuntu 3 days ago and i fear that it might kill my laptop hd and ram :( === timburke_ is now known as timburke [14:11] usr13: how to get this utility? [14:12] chirag_d_gr8: And it is best to run it for long period of time. [14:12] chirag_d_gr8: memtest should be an option when you boot. [14:12] yah [14:12] i think i saw this [14:12] chirag_d_gr8: How much ram do you have? [14:12] hello [14:12] 3 gb [14:13] and my kubuntu is using .7 gb now [14:13] chirag_d_gr8: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit #And paste resulting URL here. [14:13] Any techno programs?

[14:15] Persona24 what dj are you looking for? [14:15] Persona24: The folks in #ubuntustudio and #opensourcemusicians probably have better suggestions. [14:16] [ [14:16] chirag_d_gr8: Well, I don't know then. You would have to ask someone that knows something about suspend issues in wubi [14:16] <{Axxes}> do you even hear me? [14:16] chirag_d_gr8: I've never used wubi [14:16] Pici, I needed to register... it took me a while to figure out the command needed to do that.

[14:20] 1 more thing, is usage of .8 gb mem normal, isn't it too high....and moreover just running irc uses 10-15% of my cpu, is it normal? [14:20] win 7 jusst uses like 500 mb ram.... [14:21] !ram | chirag_d_gr8 [14:21] chirag_d_gr8: If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | A short primer on Linux memory management can be found here: http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html [14:21] chirag_d_gr8: If you are using wubi, you would have to calculate, how much cpu and / or RAM is allocated to wubi [14:21] I'm not a wubi user and I don't know how any of that works. [14:22] usr13: It works the same as any other Ubuntu install. [14:22] o [14:22] usr13: u mean a bit of cpu is assigned to linux and a bit to windows? [14:22] Well, I'm just clueless about wubi and wanted to make that clear. [14:22] chirag_d_gr8: no, he mispoke. [14:22] chirag_d_gr8: I don't know [14:23] pici: what is meaning of !ram |? [14:23] chirag_d_gr8: please look at the message that ubottu said to you above. [14:23] Pici: But if wubi is running and MS Windows is running, there must be some sort of sharing of resources taking place. Right? === Mrono-evil is now known as Mrono [14:24] Pici: Or is wubi running independently of MS Windows? [14:24] usr13: wubi does not run concurrently with Ubuntu, it merely puts a disk volume in a file on the Windows partition and then boots in to it. [14:24] usr13: er, wubi does not run concurrently with Windows* [14:25] Pici: so there is no difference if i install linux using windows or using disc and install it in totally new partition? [14:25] Pici: Ok, I see. [14:26] chirag_d_gr8: you get faster HDD access time by a small margin, but that's it [14:26] chirag_d_gr8: Oh, there is a big difference. I do know about that. [14:26] chirag_d_gr8: There may be issues in the future with upgrading, as well as expanding your disk size if needed. If you are able to partition I highly suggest that you do that instead. [14:26] Pici: my hp laptop does not allow me to boot using a disc [14:27] i had no other option [14:27] chirag_d_gr8: there are many ways to install Ubuntu. [14:27] chirag_d_gr8: with usb then? [14:27] !install | chirag_d_gr8 [14:27] chirag_d_gr8: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [14:27] mk1324: hd access time means boot time? [14:28] chirag_d_gr8: boot time, application loading time, and saving/loading files [14:28] ubottu: ok thx let me check out your links [14:28] chirag_d_gr8: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:28] lmao [14:28] chirag_d_gr8, are you sure there is no bios setting or is it because you have no disk drive? [14:28] ubottu not too modest, you ARE intelligent :p [14:28] MonkeyDust: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:28] ubottu is a bot? it is so cool :O [14:29] i have disk drive but my laptop does not read a bootable drive and continue with windows [14:30] not even from usb drive [14:30] chirag_d_gr8: unless this is a really old machine CD boot should be supported by your BIOS [14:30] i bought my laptop 3 days ago lol [14:30] chirag_d_gr8, there will either be a bios setting or a key to hit to choose boot device [14:30] it is i3 processor, 3 gb ram, 2 gb graphics etc [14:30] try hitting F12 while the computer is booting, that's a very popular boot menu key [14:31] ok.... [14:31] i never pressed a key before while booting....let me check that [14:31] or F10 [14:31] chirag_d_gr8, or f8 [14:31] F12 is network a lot of the time [14:32] so if i press all 3 will that do my job? [14:32] umm [14:32] try one [14:32] doesnt work [14:32] try again [14:32] chirag_d_gr8, try one at a time [14:32] does anyone know of a command to restore ubuntu to factory settings? [14:32] argT: it's F12 for acer and lenovo, which are the main OEM's i use computers from [14:32] ok... [14:33] mine is hp [14:33] mk1324, ahh, asus is f10, intel boards are f10 i believe too [14:33] chirag_d_gr8: It should say on the screen. If it is to fast to read, Ctrl-ALt-Del will reboot and start over [14:33] chirag_d_gr8, I still think there will be a setting in bios too [14:33] chirag_d_gr8: just try some, none of those options should be the self-destruct [14:33] chirag_d_gr8: :D [14:34] ok so if i enter successfully in bios, i will change boot sequence and my pc boot from disc first? [14:34] chirag_d_gr8: Have you looked at BIOS settings for boot options? [14:34] chirag_d_gr8, yes [14:34] i never entered bios [14:34] ... FIrst time for everything. [14:34] :D [14:35] but if i mess bios, how to get it back to normal? [14:35] chirag_d_gr8, it might be delete for bios [14:35] robin: sorry i did not get it [14:35] chirag_d_gr8: for now only change boot options and you'll be fine [14:35] my netbook has it as ESC [14:35] lol [14:36] chirag_d_gr8: ESC here as well for BIOS [14:36] What's the command to reboot the computer? [14:36] do rsa keys increase security or are they just to help save a user remembering passwords? [14:36] reboot... [14:36] Persona24: in a terminal? [14:36] yes [14:36] reboot [14:36] Persona24: sudo reboot now [14:36] shutdown -r now [14:36] dori922: Not really on-topic for this channel. Try #ubuntu-offtopic or ##security [14:37] 1 more thing, my laptop shows an overheating error whenever i boot from linux and nothing when i boot from windows. is it normal or linux is eating my pc? [14:38] linux gets so scary sometimes especially when it attacks hardware :( [14:38] chirag_d_gr8: most of the cooling control should be done by the motherboard [14:38] dori922: for SSH, assuming they have a passphrase, they should increase security. As now you have a primitive 2factor auth, something you know (passphrase) and something you have (the private key). [14:39] is kubuntu 64 bit stable? [14:39] mk1324: i run it for 4 hrs or 1 min, it always shows this error [14:39] ummmmm Ok, so my computer just suggested to install a terminal when I'm obviously using two terminals right now [14:39] themartyrs: it doesn't matter if it's 32- or 64-bit [14:39] is linux attacking my hardware or i should ignore this? [14:39] dori922: of course, if the client machine is hacked, that doesn't really help you. But if the client password is shoulder surfed, it does help you. [14:40] themartyrs: If you look for stability, try version 10.04. [14:40] chirag_d_gr8: hose is the error given, during the POST (boot) screen? [14:40] chirag_d_gr8: hose = how [14:40] themartyrs, U can try debian squeeze [14:40] Lithos84: im looking for 64 bit for exclusivly recording aND editing audio [14:40] themartyrs: Sure its stable, why wouldn't it be? [14:41] themartyrs: how much RAM is in the machine? [14:41] in a black screen. like it tells me looks like your system went in hibernation due to overheating. now this problem has been fixed. check for vent blockage. press enter to continue [14:41] mk1324: 8GB [14:41] hallo [14:42] themartyrs: Keep with 64-bit. 10.04 is the most stable version right now. It works fine on my laptop. [14:42] chirag_d_gr8: it might just be the way that linux sent the shutdown signal was misinterpretted [14:42] mk1324: not once not twice but each n every time [14:42] so it is a rom bug? [14:42] does anyone know of a command to restore ubuntu to factory settings? i am trying to remove all the mess i have caused without grabbing the disk which is a few miles away [14:42] Lithos84: even for audio recording and production? [14:42] and i should ignore this? [14:43] and i should think linux is not melting my hardware inside? [14:43] chirag_d_gr8: if you shutdown linux then boot into windows after, does the same error occur or just when booting linux? === matt__ is now known as eein [14:43] just linux and nothing with windows [14:43] themartyrs: I edit videos on it. I suppose it works fine with audio too. [14:43] server irc.epiknet.org [14:43] omg [14:43] Lithos84: i need it to work better than fine [14:43] chirag_d_gr8: it would prolly be a motherboard malfunction if the computer is overheating [14:43] netMarker: dont advertise servers or nnyou may be klined [14:43] omg so i should discontinue linux? [14:44] themartyrs: Again, I don't know why you think it would be unstable. I suggest asking in #ubuntustudio if you want answers regarding audio production though. [14:44] chirag_d_gr8: if it's a motherboard issue then it's not linux [14:44] windows shows no such error but linux shows this error any distro i use [14:44] chirag_d_gr8: we all were newbees, once :) [14:44] chirag_d_gr8: what is the model of your laptop? [14:44] hp 117tx [14:44] 1117tx [14:45] monkeydust: now you are professional in linux? [14:45] hi, how can i share internet via bluetooth, between 2 pcs, using blueman? [14:46] mk1324: for your info, the error code is 90d [14:46] using gdm . at the login screen you have the menu to choose the desktop you want {mine is gnome openbox gnome/openbox}. how could i add awesome and dwm to it? [14:47] thanks :D [14:47] ok, so is there no way of restoring ubuntu to factory settings? like maybe reinstalling without the disk?

[14:50] chirag_d_gr8: either it's a false warning caused by linux not sending the computer the right code, or ACPI in linux is not agreeing with your laptop [14:50] uhm....what is acpi [14:50] dr_willis: no i want to remove them and start from scratch [14:51] mk1324: so what would u reccommend? i am very much interested in saving my hardware. should i continue using liunx?

How to do this in unbuntu [15:17] Alloween, maybe if you were to capture packets with wireshark during the scan you could see what they're talking about. [15:17] Their description is rather vague. [15:17] So guys, Ubuntu is suppose to appeal to Window users. Who hear believes it looks more like Mac OS?

[15:51] ModusPwnens: Probably because you don't have aptitude installed. [15:51] hi, i need help with nvidia driver. [15:51] o.O what? really? I thought that was standard [15:51] ModusPwnens, sudo apt-get install aptitude [15:52] ModusPwnens, nope, aptitude pretty much sucks [15:52] I concur. [15:52] which is why it doesn't come installed by default [15:52] huh. I guess i must have installed it long ago and forgot. [15:52] ok, thanks! [15:52] ModusPwnens: aptitude also comes with ppa-purge. [15:53] As a dependency. [15:53] whats ppa-purge? [15:53] oh k [15:53] abstrakt: why does aptitude suck? [15:53] i [15:53] hi, i need help with nvidia driver. my max screen resolution ix 640x480. [15:53] will install that too. [15:53] ModusPwnens: You don't necessarily need ppa-purge. :-D Unless you experiment with, like, gnome3 and want to revert back. [15:54] Hey, I'm getting a nasty kernel panic and am looking for a resource to resolve it: http://i.imgur.com/xTzMS.jpg [15:54] SIFTU, because the interface is EXTREMELY non intuitive, it doesn't follow ANY kind of convention, not emacs, not vim, not anything, and the search is pretty much horrible and completely non-useful [15:54] getting anything actually done in aptitude is just a huge PITA [15:54] i'd rather use apt-get and apt-cache any day [15:54] * justinas nods vigorously to what abstrakt is saying. [15:54] abstrakt: its ncurses.. its fine [15:54] abstrakt: aptitude doesn't come with Ubuntu by default because there is no reason to include two tools that do the same thing on the CD, epsecially because we are always looking for more room. [15:54] Synaptic is pretty nice, they actually got it right [15:55] la [15:55] Pici: And, besides, Synaptic is a better tool, let's not forget that. [15:55] oops, wrong window. [15:55] SIFTU, ncurses has basically zero to do with what hotkey commands they chose [15:55] and, like i said, even if the keys were not completely counter intuitive, the search facility just sucks, really bad [15:55] ok... brand new PC... put in a ubuntu 11.04 install usb pen I've used before... and it connected to the wifi _without_ asking for a password - I'm guessing it saved it on the usb pen from before? [15:56] abstrakt: lol ok [15:56] i actually don't even have the words to describe how baffled I am at how bad and non-useful the aptitude search results are [15:56] /wc [15:56] abstrakt: synaptic does work on my headless server [15:56] anyway, that's why :) [15:56] SIFTU, of course not, it's GUI [15:56] like i said already [15:56] abstrakt: aptitude works just fine [15:56] what does SIFTU mean? [15:56] "i'd rather use apt-get and apt-cache any day" [15:57] Anyway, lets keep this channel clear for people asking support questions. [15:57] SIFTU, for you, great... not for me and justinas [15:57] i am curious [15:57] what does SIFTU mean? [15:57] FAMAS: its a person in here. [15:57] FAMAS: sorry I meant synaptic DOESNT work on my headless server.. becuase I dont have a GUI [15:57] Oh, new kerned in oneiric. [15:58] *kernel [15:58] Let's update. [15:58] SIFTU, yes I knokw what you were trying to say, hence why I said "of course not, it's GUI" [15:58] and like i said already, on a headless server, i just use apt-get and apt-cache and i get far more done in far less time than b0rkpl0xing around with aptitude [15:58] #ubuntu-offtopic is a good place for philosophical discussions [15:58] :-D [15:59] aptitude does a fine job, just refuse to use the TUI [15:59] * justinas saves "b0rkpl0xing" for future reference. [15:59] Agreed, can we move the non-support discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic [15:59] Is Ubuntu going to run significantly slower off a SD card vs a SSD hd? [15:59] brack9: yes [15:59] Hi. I just installed (k)ubuntu and I'm trying to get all of my monitors working. I got a Radeon HD6870 with 4 monitors plugged in. This works under windows but in ubuntu I can either get 3 screens (2 on DVI ports and 1 on miniDisplayPort) or 2 screens (both on mDP). But I want to use all my 4 screens (2 on DVI and 2 on mDP). Does any one have any clue on how to do it? [15:59] unless designed specifically, SD cards are slower than SSD HD [15:59] as far as i know [16:00] Yeah. It's taking forever to boot [16:00] brack9: SD cards are slow [16:00] Slower then SATA disks? [16:00] dammit.. I have a 4 gig SSD but an 8 gig SD card [16:00] justinas: yep [16:00] so I tried installing it on the SD card [16:00] since I kept running out of space [16:00] how do I search a specific file let say /var/log/mail.log, for all lines containing an email for example the email example@example.com? [16:00] just because they both have the letters "SD" at the end doesn't mean they're at all similar [16:00] TheMatrix30001: Grep it. [16:00] TheMatrix30001: grep example@example.com /var/log/mail.log [16:01] The SD card shouldn't be so slow that it takes like 10 minutes to boot though right? [16:01] TheMatrix30001: grep [16:01] TheMatrix30001: grep " example@example.com" /var/log/mail.log [16:01] It's a decent card, I think it's like a sandisk [16:01] brack9, i really wouldn't be surprised at all [16:01] weird, live boot is a lot slower [16:01] brack9, vendor has very little to do with actual performance/speed/specs [16:01] ok [16:01] vendor has more to do with QA and longevity of your product [16:01] So I kept running out of space because of application [16:01] applications... [16:01] !enter [16:01] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [16:02] sorry [16:02] brack9, well on a 4G drive, of course you keep running out of space [16:02] So yeah, can I mount the location that applications are installed on the 8 gig card some how? [16:02] i don't even understand why anyone would try to go with anything less than a 32G drive for a main OS drive [16:02] Hey there. [16:02] abstrakt: it's a netbook. [16:03] like, i remember using a 2G drive, that was about 15 years ago [16:03] Is there anyone who can help me out with my windows boot? [16:03] brack9, again that means pretty much nothing to ubuntu [16:03] user what problem ? [16:03] IIRC, SSD disks have a limited number of writes to them. In the long run they simply can't hold the info. What's the half-life of such a disk normally, considering that a user does not (re)write info like crazy, e.g., does not compile the system every day? [16:03] ubuntu doesn't care if it's a buzzword based laptop or not, ubuntu needs probably 5-10G of space at least [16:03] abstrakt: I was answering your question of why someone might use less than 32g [16:03] well i can't run windows nor ubuntu anymore :l [16:03] brack9, uhh... not a very good answer? [16:03] how can I check if sound card is installed or not [16:04] user: a little more info will be helpful as to what you did [16:04] unless you're actually using it as a truly dumb terminal, in which case your HD size really shouldn't matter [16:04] abstrakt: it has a built in 4 gig hard drive, the only other storage is removable [16:05] well, this morning I removed my manually added ubuntu boot button in mbr and now i can't run windows anymore ;l [16:05] user: :-D [16:05] oh, i see... wow... aight, well i don't know what to say except that this is a common lesson: always research your hardware before you buy for linux [16:05] * justinas giggles. [16:05] "removed ubuntu boot button from MBR." [16:05] abstrakt: I got it for free [16:05] MiteshShah, lspci [16:05] MiteshShah, and lsmod [16:06] user: repair mbr ... using a windows disc [16:06] brack9, ahh, well there ya go... can't complain much then, can ya :) [16:06] i am currently running boot-repair-disk [16:06] the debian based thingy [16:06] anyone knows how to exchange the ubuntu logo for the gnome pawn in the left upper panel? [16:06] He probably means that he messed up menu.lst in grub. [16:06] user: that will fix you to grub . AFAIK [16:06] when i tried to restore MBR i'm still unable to run windows ;l [16:06] brack9, try something else then, like damn small linux and then install openbox or whatever [16:06] i'm not talking about grub === fstash is now known as sour [16:06] Which is more easily repaired by booting with some live cd, mounting the disk and putting the hooks back. [16:06] tolstoi, the people in #GNOME probably know [16:06] i have grub aswell [16:07] ty [16:07] but grub doesnt work either [16:07] abstrakt: in lspci & lsmod I don't find realtec or sound word thay means no sound card in pc right? [16:07] it tells me that it can't find my partition [16:07] user: copy out the grub cfg to paste bin [16:07] MiteshShah: Not necessarily. === sour is now known as fstash [16:07] MiteshShah, well if it doesn't show up in lspci, then yeah you have no sound card [16:07] MiteshShah, if it shows up in lspci but not in lsmod then you have a sound card but no drivers [16:07] MiteshShah: alsamixer shows nothing? [16:08] user: partition table you used .. i faced this problem only once when i tried tribooting with hackintosh with GUID table :P [16:08] MiteshShah, it may well have some other name, like "multimedia device" or "unidentified device" [16:08] Is this the right channel for asking a quick support question? [16:08] hi guys i have a question [16:08] MiteshShah: lspci |pastebinit #Paste resulting URL. Let's have a look. [16:09] how do you work subtitle downloader in movie player? [16:09] minnillo: Which movie player? [16:09] lspci shos host pci usb and ethernet only [16:09] usr13: totem movie player [16:10] i checked subtitle downloader in the plugin [16:10] but i don't know how to use dit [16:10] usr13: can you give me pastebin link so I put my op there [16:10] it says it automatically searches for subtitles [16:10] I bought a wireless router that is supposed to work with linux. It says the firmware is missing. In the disc that came with it there is a linux driver folder, but I don't know how to install. There doesn't seem to be a setup application. I'm completely new to linux by the way. [16:10] MiteshShah: Problably a plugin for it. [16:11] minnillo: Problably a plugin for it. [16:11] hi, how can enable vnc on a newly installed ubuntu server 11.04 at the command-line? [16:11] usr13: oh ok, so i stil need to install the subtitle downloader program for it to work? [16:11] fon72: install something like dd-wrt. [16:11] MiteshShah: lspci |pastebinit #Paste resulting URL. Let's have a look. [16:11] What is that? [16:11] dd-wrt is a Good Thing (tm). [16:11] !pastebin | MiteshShah [16:11] MiteshShah: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [16:11] !pastebinit | MiteshShah [16:11] MiteshShah: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [16:12] dd-wrt is cool, but you shouldn't need it just to use wireless. [16:12] exit [16:12] Well there is a driver folder in the disc that came with it called linux, but i don't see any sort of setup app. [16:12] There are other files [16:12] fon72, I would stay away from installing anything from an included disc. [16:13] Oh [16:13] Okay [16:13] hey i was just about to buy a wireless router awhile ago. what does DD-WRT do? [16:13] dd-wrt is replacement firmware for many routers. [16:13] minnillo: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page [16:14] i was gonna get a normal router (one w/o the dd-wrt thing) but i stopped cause dd-wrt might be a good thing [16:14] does dd-wrt make my connection faster? [16:14] minnillo: i doubt if it will be any faster [16:14] I dunno about that, but it has some other cool features. [16:14] How do I know my adapter is supported my dd-wrt? We already have a working router. I'm talking about a usb router. [16:14] Like the ability to function as a VPN endpoint. [16:14] minnillo: it's possible.. but not what its for.. it's for more advanced settings [16:14] a usb router? what do you mean by that? [16:15] Adapter [16:15] Sorry [16:15] fon72: you are talking about an USB wifi-adaptor not a router, aren't you? [16:15] usr13: http://paste.ubuntu.com/689309/ [16:15] dr_willis, SIFTU: oh i see. so if i'm just gonna use my router at home i don't really need a dd-wrt one? [16:15] Usb adapter [16:15] I confused myself [16:15] minnillo: depends on what you do at home :) [16:15] minnillo: if you want to have more stuff to play with on it. :) [16:15] abstrakt: http://paste.ubuntu.com/689309/ [16:15] dr_willis: what kind of stuff? [16:15] Yes, llutz. [16:15] minnillo: go see the dd-wrt homepage/docs. i never have theneed for it. [16:16] im jsut gonna use my laptop, PC, and phone wiht it [16:16] would i need dd-wrt? [16:16] Hi, is it possible to make a ubuntu pc shutdown after it has not been used in 1 hour and it's after 5 in the evening? What do I have to do? [16:16] I put dd-wrt on all my devices that can use it as a matter of course. [16:16] minnillo: I run a ipv6 tunnel, reverse ssh tunnels, vlan tagging, captive protal, custom firewall rules etc [16:16] minnillo: if you need enhanced/advanced features and more controll. [16:16] minnillo: for normal people.. most likely not [16:16] So dd-wrt will fix the missing firmware problem? [16:16] fon72: no [16:16] whoa [16:16] dr_willis: oh ok, probably jsut gonna buy a normal router then [16:16] ISA [16:16] dd-wrt runs on routers. [16:16] fon72: no, dd-wrt is a router firmware [16:16] SIFTU: woah what are those lol [16:16] fon72: dd0wrt has nothing to do with your wireless card drivers [16:16] MiteshShah: alsamixer #Look in upper left corner for info about audio adapter. Let us know what you see. [16:17] Well then what about my wireless adapter? [16:17] MiteshShah, lspci says that you do not have a sound card, even though lspci says that you have sound drivers installed [16:17] fon72, have you plugged it in? [16:17] ohhh how about for downloading torrents. will DD-WRT help? [16:17] Yes [16:17] although, i suppose that just because you have sound drivers, doesn't mean they are attached to any particular hardware [16:17] hmmm is anyone else getting an error updating ubuntu 10.04 today? [16:17] It says something like device not ready missing firmware [16:17] i'm getting "unrecoverable fatal error, aborting: files list file for package 'evolution-plugins' is missing final newline" [16:17] minnillo: i think its time to go check the dd-wrt homepage :) [16:17] minnillo: there is a version with torrent client installed :) [16:17] Forgot the exact text [16:18] Can I pm someone? This chat is a little to chaotic for me to follow. [16:18] dr_willis: i've checked the site awhile ago but didn't understand a thing lol. i'll go check it out again. thanks! [16:18] usr13: I don't find any alsamixer where it is? [16:18] too* [16:18] minnillo: then its most likely best you dont use it :) [16:18] MiteshShah: open up a command line and type it in [16:18] SIFTU: then maybe i'll get a dd-wrt router then, because of the torrent LOL [16:18] MiteshShah: Open a terminal window, type "alsamixer" (without quotes), and hit Enter key. [16:19] dr_willis: nah, i can understand those stuff i just need to focus reaeding on them hehe [16:19] ? [16:19] minnillo: you can get NAS's that can do torrents also. if you really need such a gizmo [16:19] usr13: SIFTU: usr13: alsamixer says cannot open mixer: No such file or directory [16:19] what are NAS? [16:20] Network Attatched Storage [16:20] network attached storage [16:20] a HD on the LAN [16:20] ohhh [16:20] dr_willis: dd-wrt can have a HDD attached and act as a nas too [16:20] to be blatant, boxes with rj45 ports which can have drives inside them [16:20] nah i don't think i would need that. i just need something to speed up my torrent downloading hehe [16:20] to minnillo: you need better internet connection [16:20] MiteshShah: sudo apt-get install alsa-tools [16:20] or simply more seeds for your torrent [16:21] So,,,can someone help me install the driver on the cd or some alternative? [16:21] usr13: abstrakt: I need to buy new sound card? [16:21] I have this Asus router gadget that advertises "continuous accelerated downloading even when the PC is off". I dunno if that's torrents or not... [16:21] FAMAS: so dd-wrt cannot increase the speed of my torrent downloading? [16:21] usr13: I'm installing it wait [16:21] MiteshShah: As someone already suggested, it doesn't appear that you have a working sound card. [16:21] i do not know what dd-wrt is, but torrents operate on a principle [16:21] which is not similar to http [16:21] minnillo, it could if it fixes bugs that were present in the stock firmware. [16:21] you cannot just feed it an accelerator [16:22] FAMAS: oh ok [16:22] and hope for it to magically skyrocket [16:22] usr13: so what to do buy new sound card or just install some packages I'm new so I don't know [16:22] to boger: the option you are talking about [16:22] B0g4r7: oh ok [16:22] what's the easiest VM to set up in ubuntu for running win 7? [16:22] it is to continue accelerated download even when you shutdown your pc [16:22] and most seemless [16:22] irveee: i would say virtualbox [16:22] seamless - no idea. [16:22] awesome, i'll give it a shot :) [16:22] i agree with doctor [16:22] usr13: alsa-tool is already newest 1 [16:23] Hello? [16:23] thx all [16:23] hey, i have a problem regarding my cd drive. when i start the computer and go into BIOS it is there, but when i login to ubuntu it's not recognized. i need help :/ [16:23] To minnilo, to speed up your torrent you should be sure that you forwarded the port [16:23] :( [16:23] MiteshShah: I don't know really.... Would have to see what you've got. But if you come by my place, I'd give you one, (I have a few spares). [16:23] basically all i need is for outlook to run =p [16:23] danger89: alright, i've already done that though [16:23] so as long as my NIC is mapped and whatnot should be good [16:24] irveee: your Network card in the virtual machine will be a virtual nic.. [16:24] im just under the impression that dd-wrt could enchance your speed. but i think i was wrong [16:24] MiteshShah: If you have alsa-tools installed, alsamixer should be a valid command. What error do you get? [16:24] to everyone who is having unsupported hardware on ubuntu: first make sure you did not mess with the os in anyway [16:24] Frusen, is it SATA? [16:24] I guess I'll ask later... [16:24] and always try with alternative spare parts [16:24] dr_willis: sounds good. i will report back with my results :D [16:24] danger89, no [16:24] alternative spare parts, good suggestion. [16:25] fon72: theres always askubuntu.com and the forums [16:25] Uhm maybe a jumper problem? [16:25] guys what's MIMO? is it the same as 1T1R? [16:25] fon72: or clarify and reask the question here about every 10 min. [16:25] to doctor: forums give me a fever [16:25] use r13 user@localhost:~$ alsamixer [16:25] cannot open mixer: No such file or directory [16:25] they take fucking long to respond [16:25] and turn into TLDR fests [16:25] after 5 posts [16:25] Didn't want to be annoying. I wasn't sure if I was being ignored because I did something wrong. [16:25] FAMAS: i find 90% of all the questions asked on them.. have allreadybeen answered if people would search. [16:26] FAMAS: then theres askubuntu.com [16:26] FAMAS: Keep your comments clean and on one line. [16:27] test [16:27] thres a few forum threads on grub2 that are very very worth reading. :) well the initial post/guide is at least. [16:27] minnillo, MINO is "multi in multi out", which is to say, transmitting and receiving using more than one radio. [16:27] test [16:28] wouldent that be MIMO? :) [16:28] B0g4r7: so what does it do? [16:28] minnillo: makes wireless faster. :) [16:28] yes [16:28] It "takes advantage of spatial diversity" [16:28] uhm, what if you've reached your ISPs speed, does it still make it faster? [16:28] to minn: no [16:28] minnillo: how could it do that? :) [16:29] its for your pc/lan... [16:29] you cannot limit break your isp without hacking their server inside out [16:29] It also effectively increases the usable range. [16:29] most softwares only max out your speed on your end [16:29] dr_willis: well yeah i was just wondering haha [16:29] hmm so how does MIMO speed up your connection? [16:30] minnillo: like having 2 network connections.. it has 2 radios.. [16:30] MIMO is about increasing wireless perfomance. [16:30] It has nothing to do with wired connections. [16:30] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIMO [16:30] so with internet it's useless? [16:31] Okay, here goes. I got recently got a wireless usb adapter. When I plug it in says device not ready, firmware missing. On the disc it came with it has a folder for linux drivers, but I see no installer amongst the files. [16:31] In most cases, the speed your local wireless network will be greater than that of your internet connection. [16:31] minnillo: its from your pc's to the router. or pc to pc... [16:32] Unless you got a really really really fast isp :) the isp is the bottleneck. [16:32] ohhhhh i see [16:32] ciao [16:32] to fon: linux does not do installer [16:32] list! [16:32] linux does the sudo apt thingy [16:32] If you wanted to stream video from your local file server to a local wireless device, a MIMO wifi radio would be a good choice. [16:32] command line [16:32] danger89, maybe i'll just buy a SATA [16:32] installer is windows exclusive privilege [16:32] fon72: There are no installers. [16:32] fon72: i would say ignore the disk. and check the forums/askubuntu.com for what package you should be installing for that device. If the drivers exist for linux on the disk. then there SHOULD be some package in the repos that also include them [16:33] Then how do I install? [16:33] server irc.openjoke.org [16:33] fon72: #1 thing to do is identify the exact device/chipset. [16:33] fon72, 'lsusb' should help you to identify the device. [16:33] http://in.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=UI3ejenXyxqQTIcJ&templete=2 [16:33] also, i am a beginner of ubuntu, do not take my word as absolute [16:33] That's it [16:33] Frusen you can try that for less than $15 if your motherboard supports it [16:33] dr, bog4: so with just using the internet a mimo router is useless? [16:34] fon72: and the addational-drivers tool Might help in installing any needed drivers for it. But you may need to use a wired connection first for the pc. [16:34] ciao [16:34] Hmm okay [16:34] danger89, yeah, I think I'll just do that :) [16:34] T [16:34] minnillo, MIMO can help to extend the effective range of the wireless signal, so it could be af use in that regard. [16:34] hanks [16:34] list! [16:34] minnillo: as we stated.. for pure data speed.. the bottle neck getting TO your home is the ISP. [16:34] Whoops, pressed enter. [16:34] fon72: If you can get online, I'd recommend the 'addtional drivers' tool too, as a starting point. [16:35] dr, bog4: so there is still an advantage then with mimo on your router [16:35] minnillo: in my house/lan setup.. yes.. [16:35] since the wife is watching VIdeos from my fileserever over wireless all day long.. :) [16:36] she laggs the rest of the wireless pcs :) [16:36] minnillo, your neighbors will also appreciate if you use the newer MIMO gear. The older stuff tends to slow down the newer stuff if they operate in the same area. [16:36] with MIMI - i might actually get some range past my front porch. :) [16:37] hey guys, I switched to an older NVidia proprietary driver, but after rebooting, the display gets no input right about at the login screen. I'm on liveCD right now. How do I switch it back? [16:37] dr, bog4: oh alright now i see what it does [16:37] dr, bog: i didn't see the benefit in home networking [16:37] need help with nvidia driver. my max resolution is 640x480. [16:38] Home networking is more than just sharing an internet connection. [16:38] Paladinlaw: you ran the nvidia-settings tool? [16:38] to paladin: try with a different monitor === gundy_ is now known as gundy [16:38] dr_willis: yes same res [16:38] famas: dont have another to try with. [16:38] so does 1T1R the same as MIMO? [16:39] That's the opposite of MIMO. [16:39] to paladin: go ask your fried to rent one to you for testing [16:39] famas: my other monitors only supports vga and my graphic card only supports DVI and HDMI [16:39] 1T1R == 1 Transmit 1 Receive. [16:39] oh [16:39] ask someone to give a 4:3 with dvi [16:39] they exist [16:39] lol [16:39] so i shouldn't get it then [16:39] famas:ok i will try. [16:39] i have problem on pendrive [16:40] lsusb command detects pendrive [16:40] to ashish: what problem? [16:40] but device does not appears on /dev/sd** [16:41] so guys how do you connect two computers wirelessly? do you just need a wireless router? [16:42] normally, yes [16:42] hi, im trying to install a new d-link dge530T gigabit nic but neither eth0 or eth1 seems to use it. [16:44] hey guys, I switched to an older NVidia proprietary driver, but after rebooting, the display gets no input right about at the login screen. I'm on liveCD right now. How do I switch it back? [16:45] lsmAvatar: i had the same problem dude [16:45] IsmAvatar: boot the system to text mode. and repair it. [16:45] has the nvidia driver thing been solved in 11.04? [16:46] my nvidia driver works in 11.04 [16:46] kunwon1 here. The tea party invites you to join ##politics.

[16:46] not actually me, for the record [16:46] <3 FloodBot3 [16:46] or the one downloaded off nvidia's site? [16:47] If you watch a full hd YouTube video do I need a better video card or processor to run it (more) smoothly? [16:47] minnillo: ive not used the onew from nvidia's site.. like.. ever.. :) [16:47] If I* [16:47] not in years at least.. [16:47] someone pinged me ? [16:48] dr_willis: any way to fix it from live CD? I wouldn't know how to fix it from text mode, and I wouldn't know how to get help (e.g. irc) in text mode either. [16:48] IsmAvatar: remove the nvidia driver, install the one you want via the proper apt-get commands. [16:48] dr_willis: there are two nvidia drivers in 11.04. the proprieary and the experimental one. which did you install? [16:49] minnillo: the one the addationa-drivers tool suggested for my chipset. I have 4 machines with differnt cards.. :) [16:49] Hi. How should I install ATI drivers, via ATI.com or fglrx [16:49] So in Linux, watching a flash stream like YouTube, does Linux uses the Intel HD/NVIDIA or only the processor power to display the video? [16:49] Hi! [16:50] ujjain5: use the addational-drivers tool first.. [16:50] dr: yeah the additional drivers tool is suggesting two nvidia drivers to me lol. you only have one? [16:50] minnillo: one says 'suggested/reccomended' here. [16:50] dr_willis: I am new to Linux desktop, where do I find it? sudo apt-get install first? [16:50] oh ok thanks doc [16:50] oh, I see it :) [16:50] ujjain5: its in the menus somewhere.. or run 'jockey-gtk' [16:51] :) [16:51] hey [16:51] who was it that needed help with 640*480 resolution? [16:51] YELL OUT NOW [16:51] who was it that needed help with 640*480 resolution? [16:51] FAMAS: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:51] It's listed. Says installed well. But I still get a dll error. [16:51] I'm using some mobile phone as modem to connect to net. And now there are two ones connect to my PC via USB cable. [16:51] hi, im trying to install a new d-link dge530T gigabit nic but neither eth0 or eth1 seems to use it. [16:51] anyway, my error is, "Fail to link to fglrx-libglx.so, please check whether..." [16:52] I using wvdial to connect one of them as ppp0. [16:52] I wanna connect the other as ppp1. How to do it? [16:52] Is it possible? [16:53] ujjain5: you rebooted after installing them? [16:53] dr_willis: Yes. [16:53] ujjain5: i only have 1 system these days with ati. so cant really suggest anything. [16:54] another question, during installation, i always select /dev/sda to install grub on. which particular partition does it really get installed into? [16:55] minnillo: none.. its on the MBR of the hard drive [16:55] cause sometimes grub doesn't work whenever i want to call it up at startup. like it didn't get installed or something [16:55] to minn: what does grub do? [16:55] MBR is at the very start of the HD. not any part of a partition. [16:55] and what are you trying to setup? [16:55] !grub2 [16:55] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic).

I've setup sftp using a Subsystem declaration inside my sshd_config and I can log in with my filezilla client. I've set the permissions on the folder to be owned by my ftp user and I can - through filezilla - rename files, list and create directories. But I cannot upload or download files. Any ideas? [16:56] need help, i have libdvdcss2 installed but dvd wii not read , i get error that the dvd is encrpted or the dvd decrption library is not insalled [16:56] what does this message mean [16:56] minnillo: is ubuntu booting up to the login screen? [16:56] dr: yes it is [16:57] minnillo: then grub is installed.. its just not showing the menu by default.. because you onlyhave ubuntu on the box. [16:57] minnillo: see the grub2 guides on making it not hide. [16:57] hi guys. anyone familiar with the "gave up waiting for root device" and ubuntu booting only after a Windows session? [16:57] the same way ntldr does not show while only windows is installed [16:57] dr: oh so that's why it doesn't show up [16:57] Hi [16:57] hi [16:57] its a silly default. and i always change it to alwyas show [16:57] Hi [16:57] reason is when i installed the nvidia driver and my pc didn't boot up anymore, i couldn't get to grub to fix it [16:58] how can I print an .srt file on a mkv file? [16:58] nevermide i must have a f**d up reader , i burnner read it fine [16:58] minnillo: shift key or escape key would show it. [16:58] yeah but it doesn't show [16:58] that was my issue. but yeah maybe because there is only one OS (ubuntu) on my pc [16:58] under: you mean reencode a video to include the subtitles? mencoder or ffmpeg can do it i recall. [16:59] Minilo did you tried to run the NVIDIA control panel? And safe the new file? [16:59] under: their faq most likely gives examples. [16:59] danger: whta do you mean? [16:59] dr_willis, do you think this operation is long? [17:00] quit [17:01] How can I trash and reconfigure network configurations? [17:01] well I believe its possible to run NVIDIA control panel and safe grub file [17:02] danger: im not really sure what you're pertaining to. i haven't gone that far yet [17:02] hey guys borrowed my friends modem for a while becuz my modem hadnt driver for linux byt recently i use my old modem and find out its working but not properly [17:03] anyone able to help with a developer problem? I have code that runs fine on my school's solaris system but it gets buggy on my system (compiles fine) [17:03] under: it totally depends on the details.. system specs. and file sizes.. [17:03] is there any way that i can fix it? [17:04] damn the grub2 guide on the forums is so comprehensive [17:04] minnillo: and theres grub2 wiki pages.. and the offiical grub homepage/docs [17:04] dr: that might be better il check it out [17:05] i find the forum post have info i dident seein the wiki [17:05] I just updated to KDE 4.7.1 and now I can't get evolution to run unless I run it from a konsole... what do I need to do to fix this?

[17:08] !best| userxxx [17:08] userxxx: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [17:08] Multimedia, Office use [17:09] Hi there, is gfortran typically used as a substitute for "f77", "g77", "f90", and "f95" ?

[17:09] !anyone | philwire [17:09] philwire: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [17:09] hahaha [17:10] How can I trash and reconfigure network configurations? [17:10] hi, im trying to install a new d-link dge530T gigabit nic but neither eth0 or eth1 seems to use it. [17:10] Not really...Some desktop enviroments are difficult to use and some have hardware problems adn others works but don't have many application [17:10] philwire: does ifconfig show it at all? how about ethtool? [17:10] pjm0616: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [17:11] how do i completely remove a user from Ubuntu? I have messed up USER's permission. I want to recreate a user with same name but it gives me error [17:11] philwire: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [17:11] muneeb: what permissions did you mess up? [17:11] muneeb: sudo deluser --remove-home username [17:12] Where can I compare all the Ubuntu distros? [17:12] deleting your first user.. would mean you got no user with sudo rights.. [17:12] sudo service networking restart gives restart: unknown instance: [17:12] userxxx: the differnce is normally just what desktop is installed by default. [17:12] Hi. I've setup sftp using a Subsystem declaration inside my sshd_config and I can log in with my filezilla client. I've set the permissions on the folder to be owned by my ftp user and I can - through filezilla - rename files, list and create directories. But I cannot upload or download files. Any ideas? [17:12] userxxx: theres a few variants that are more focused on education, or video/sound editing or other specialized tasks [17:13] dr_willis, I'm stuck at Looping Login Screen. so I deleted that user but when i create with same name, it gives error that /usr/lib/.../... does not have ... permission [17:13] muneeb: you deleted your initial user you made that had root/sudo rights? [17:13] muneeb: and now the user you are using does not have sudo rihts at all? [17:14] dr_willis, yes, but i had created 2 users with sudo and admin rights [17:14] dr willis> Which version is ready out of the box for multimedia [17:14] userxxx: they all can do multimedia stuff. [17:14] and ethtoo gives unusable answers too [17:14] 'multimedia' is a bit of a vague term. :) [17:15] dr willis> Yes, but NOT out of the box. Like Ubuntu does have any codecs [17:15] Can I remove the mail icon from the indicator applet, so I only have audio and networking? [17:15] dr_willis, so i have another user which can perform actions with root privileges [17:15] Does not have any codecs [17:15] userxxx: for legal reasons ubuntu can only include some codecs... [17:15] userxxx: that would be the same in all offical ubuntu variants. [17:16] What about Mint? [17:16] i rarely need to install any extra stuff these days [17:16] dr_willis: thanks. I was able to fix my driver using your suggestions [17:16] userxxx: go see the mint support channel and web site. i dont use mint. [17:16] can anyone help me? [17:16] n2i> No help here [17:17] gee that was rude of him. [17:17] n2i: Sure, if you ask your question. [17:17] :) [17:17] dr_willis: Yes, despite you actually helping him by answering the questions he asked. Some people are so silly (: [17:18] Polah: but ubuntu dosent have any codecs! we need moar codecs! :) [17:18] err.. vlc dosent even use the codecs does it? they are all built in i thought. [17:18] tuptus [17:18] Polah: I have posted my question above. [17:19] * glebihan wonders how he watches videos without any codecs then... [17:19] I just check those 2 box's at the start of the install - and it installs most every codec/extra i need. === zsh4311 is now known as zsh4310 [17:19] n2i [17:19] so how do I scrap my networking configuration and start over ? [17:20] philwire: perhaps you should state teh core problem. [17:20] n2i: Oh, I don't know about setting up PPP connections, especially concerning tethering your phone. [17:20] llutz, should I go with '--remove-all-files' option? coz error i get is from permission changes in /usr/lib/.. [17:20] hi people i get /usr/bin/xauth: file /home/.Xauthority does not exist [17:20] so i cant forward X11 over ssh client [17:20] Polah: I have waiting for the awnser for a while but there is no one. [17:20] dr_willis: That only installs the MP3 codec doesn't it? Aren't a lot of video codecs msising? [17:21] uns0b1ll_: you sure its not saying /home/username/.Xauthority ? [17:21] n2i: You could try asking in #networking if you want [17:21] Polah: i think it installs much more. I rarely need to do anything after the initial install to watch all my err... vacation videos.. :) [17:21] dr_willis: I had trouble with my onboard nic that only did 10mbps so I disabled it and installed a new d-link dge 530 but I cant see/configure it. ethool and ifconfig don't see it [17:21] spent close to five days on "gave up waiting for root device" now. have edited all the config files google says are relevant. ubuntu only boots once after installing it or directly after a windows session [17:21] Polah: ok, thank you! [17:22] philwire: does 'dmesg' even mention it? could be for some reason the system is not detecting it. [17:22] dr_willis: i removed username for security "reasons" its there [17:22] dr_willis: on another note i tested and ran xeyes & - so i got that working [17:22] dr_willis: how do i forward whole desktop over ? [17:23] the uuid vs. /dev/sdaX may not even be the issue here, i really don't know. [17:23] uns0b1ll_: normally.. you dont. theres not much of a need to. [17:23] dr_willis: well okay then :) [17:23] uns0b1ll_: run gnome-session and watch out. [17:23] dr_willis: MP4 perhaps? It doesn't do AVI or any proprietary formats does it? [17:23] HI all. I'm using unity in Ubuntu, and I'm missing the feature of e16 that if you restored a window from minimized state, it popped up on your currently active desktop, not where you have iconified. Can unity be configured to work this way? [17:23] ja [17:23] uns0b1ll_: better idea would be to use freenx, or vnc for that sort of task [17:24] Polah: never really paid attention these days. I can set up a ubuntu box now that plays most all my vidoes with little tweaking on my part. :) [17:24] its cool i just ran terminator - i just need few consoles - let me ask u this - how do i increase size of windows ? [17:24] dr_willis: hold on [17:24] How do I start a program as root? AMD Catalyst Manager, I dont know the path to binary,. [17:24] uns0b1ll_: i think in terminator you can just drag the edges around. === Spacewalker_ is now known as Spacewalker [17:24] dr_willis: nevermind i got it :) [17:24] :) [17:24] dr_willis: thanks man [17:25] terminator is handy. I use it all the time [17:25] ujjain1: gksudo command [17:25] night all. its bed time for me. [17:25] bbl [17:25] oh, there is a 2nd option at the right [17:25] dr_willis: night night. [17:25] man this things sloowwww [17:25] ActionParsnip: gksudo makes me root for a while? thanks [17:26] ujjain1: just for that command :-) [17:26] errr, but you dont know the path [17:26] to the file? [17:26] it's a link in the menu, AMD Catalyst Manager, I hsave no idea how to find out the path, will running gksudo and clicking the link run as root? [17:27] ujjain1: you don't need the path, just need the command [17:27] oh, I dont know command either [17:27] ujjain1: No. You need to do gksudo catalyst for instance, or whatever program it is that launches the program [17:27] I can't rightclick the shortcut to find out [17:27] ujjain1: do you use classic session or unity session? [17:27] I dont know, I wanted to find out. [17:27] ujjain1: If you drag the launcher to your panel or desktop then look at your properties it should give you that command [17:28] Polah: Yeah, that would work yeah [17:28] ujjain1: if you run: alacarte does it ru [17:28] Run* [17:28] Yes, it runs [17:28] Oh then nm ;) [17:29] What do I run? Unity right? [17:29] do i need to save my Magic cookie ? [17:29] i ran xauth list and got my MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 - do i need to save it on client and if so, where [17:29] how can i mount an iso in virtualbox [17:29] ActionParsnip: What GUI do you run? [17:29] You can get the properties of the icon. Or easier, add gksudo to the item ;-) [17:30] What ís the difference between "Dialog Modem" vs "USB Modem" in wvdial configuration. [17:30] s/./? [17:30] ujjain1: lxde but i also have unity so I can support it [17:31] ActionParsnip: ah ok, I am not sure if I should switch GUI, so wondered. [17:31] ujjain1: they are fun to try. [17:31] right, but I am affraid of leaving junk. [17:31] I know Ubuntu is not Windows, but i am affraid hundreds of files will remain. [17:31] ujjain1: how do you mean? [17:32] afte rinstalling and removing other GUI's. [17:32] Gotcha [17:32] they always have tens of dependencies. [17:32] Could virtualize [17:32] right, good way to try. [17:32] Try before you buy [17:33] right, Kubuntu/Ubuntu/Xubuntu all run live editions, but I'll probably just search for screenshots first. [17:33] Lubuntu too [17:34] I am still looking for a good rtf editor (that boots in <0.5 sec) and programming editor [17:35] someone know how to spoof mac adress until end of session? [17:35] !ide | ujjain1 [17:35] ujjain1: Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs - KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello - GNOME: gvim, gedit, anjuta, pida, monodevelop, geany - Others: eclipse, netbeans, qtcreator [17:36] right, do I install gvim-gtk or gvim-gnome? and does gedit have a file browser? [17:37] lucassykes: i know how for the boot using /etc/network/interfaces file [17:37] hi, i have ssh keys set up and if i log into X and ssh to the hosts it works, but if i ssh into the machine and then ssh to the same host its not accepted, any ideas? [17:38] ujjain1: there may be an addon for file browsing. It can open multiple files in tabs [17:38] tosse: How many machines are involved? [17:39] tosse: I did not follow it exactly. But you can't ssh from remote host using a locally stored private key. [17:39] ujjain1: laptop > server with keys work, but if i ssh into the laptop from a 3rd system and then ssh to the server it doesnt work [17:39] Mods, BigCrumbs is probably a spammer or spam-bot. I got a personal message from BigCrumbs as soon as I joined this channel saying "BigCrumbs: Save on your online purchases GREAT DEALS !!! - http://www.bigcrumbs.com/crumbs/landing.do?r=blu3f1r3&s=65777". Can we have the user kicked out if found to be a spammer or bot? [17:40] hiwk, if I setup same thing all the time, asterisk-webmin-sql, on same ubuntu distro, what is a good way for me to automate it. [17:40] .dep? [17:40] and how do I search in packages via command-line via apt-get? must i install aptitude? [17:40] ujjain1: apt-cache search something [17:40] pici thanks :) [17:40] How to I enable multiple pppd process will be invoked? [17:40] ujjain1: i don't use vim so cannot intelligently comment on the merits of either package [17:40] ujjain1, gedit does have a file browser plugin (I believe it is shipped with it, but it's disabled by default).. there are quite a few plugins for gedit. gedit actually has the potential to be a really decent IDE. [17:40] action [17:40] tosse: You are logged in with the same username on the laptop? [17:40] show me how [17:40] sometimes i have access to hard drive some times only remote. for physical access what would be a good way to image ubunut? [17:40] ujjain1: yes [17:41] Hi everyone. I have ubuntu 11.04. The launcher is not being nice to me. [17:41] hi [17:41] I have written a new piece of software. Where can I advertise it? [17:41] but not just image, smart image, only write whats there, and not simply entire drive [17:41] hello everyone [17:41] hi, gwibber is not working with identica on 11.04.. is there a known solution? [17:41] dhodgkin: ah ok, I find gvim to have a bit much command-line though. NERD-tree etc. only more and more keys. [17:41] I opted to remove the gedit from the launchpad at one time and i cannot get it in there again. Even if I have it open it will not show it's icon [17:42] action sorry man [17:42] tosse: Hmm, that's very weird! I am not sure to be honest. Does it attempt to use private key at all? [17:42] but please cant you help me? [17:42] I tried using gvim exclusively, but I couldn't get into it. [17:42] Np, let me search lucassykes [17:42] can* [17:42] ok thanks [17:43] I use vim a lot via SSH, but for development, I iwant to easily change files, multiple tabs, etc, I use notepad++ (installed Ubuntu today), I can't do that with gvim, although gvim can do it. [17:43] i have dell optiplex gx380 pc windows and ubuntu now i can get init 2 only in ubuntu (no network & genome) [17:43] hi [17:43] ujjain1: http://pastebin.com/sVrCmPxF [17:44] ujjain1: if i vnc to the same machine and try it from there it works [17:44] i have installed 11.10 on my laptop nbut the System menu in Gnome has disappeared and i can't find the option to enable Extra Effects [17:44] Is anyone familiar with this problem? I cannot drag in the icon from the application launcher. [17:44] Anyone use Gwibber for identica on 11.04? [17:44] how can i do this is in the new ubuntu? [17:44] lucassykes: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/change-your-network-card-mac-address-on-ubuntu/ === Cain is now known as Guest65414 [17:44] hi all! where can i find a good tutorial or guid for bash scritping, i suck and i don't understand too much the one from linux doc project [17:44] Uatec : Oneiric/11.10 is not yet released. Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion. [17:44] lgp171188: thanks [17:44] Uatec: ask in #ubuntu+1 for oneiric support please [17:44] tosse: Yes, I understand. Try ssh -vvv [17:44] Often I want to see which files a package would install, but I can't find and approachable way to do it. This makes me a sad panda :( What's the easiest to do it? [17:45] Myrtti: My pleasure :) [17:45] can anytihng image ubuntu installation for me, but not a physical drive image, only the portion that is actually used up. [17:45] tosse: but I am honestly not sure what even identity is, vvv is verbose. [17:45] sorta like Acronis [17:46] Osse: have you read: man dpkg [17:46] ujjain1: well, that is -vvv :) not the whole part tho [17:46] ActionParsnip, hmm '--contents'. Well would you look at that! [17:47] Osse: man pages are magic [17:47] Is anyone successfully using gwibber to access identi.ca? [17:47] Does XFCE have cool desktop effects? [17:47] Where is the file ifcfg-ppp0(if exist) which is placed on ubuntu? [17:47] userxxx, not so much [17:47] lithpr: what is the problem? [17:47] userxxx: it can do if you use compiz as WM [17:47] it does compositing and whatnot [17:48] ActionParsnip, that didn't seem to do the trick. I want to see what files any package in the repos contain, but maybe that's not directly possible [17:48] n2i, It won't authorize to save my life [17:48] ActionParsnip> whats WM? [17:49] Window Manager [17:49] lithpr: It cannot load the authorize page? [17:49] Window Manager [17:49] is there any kind of metadata that ALL files have? I need to describe files without using their name. I need to categorize them some way, like tag them [17:49] Osse: it is, just not sure. Maybe others can help [17:49] Downloading them with 'apt-get download' and then 'dpkg --contents' works, of course. [17:49] the authorization page comes up, it says I'm authorized, but I'm not. [17:49] So compiz doesn't need to be hacked to work on XFCE? [17:50] and if I reopen Accounts, it says it needs authorized again [17:50] can a .deb contain all my soft, with configurations [17:50] and just install on new distro [17:50] and restore that way? [17:50] so that I dont have to install everything over and over again [17:50] Hi. How can I disable bitmap fonts being used over scalable fonts? [17:51] action thanks a lot i hope that can help me [17:51] Which Ubuntu Distro is good alt if I don't like Unity? [17:51] lithpr: hmm, sorry! I cannot help you anymore. I also dont know. [17:52] userxxx, you can use GNOME 3, or KDE in Ubuntu, too. You don't have to like Unity. :) === Atry|away is now known as Atreus [17:52] ijoo [17:52] !classic | userxxx [17:52] userxxx: 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". [17:52] hi [17:52] hi [17:52] userxxx: You can use Ubuntu with any DE you want. 11.04 comes with Gnome2, or you can get Lubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu, or just install them from repos [17:52] userxxx: remove Unity if you dont like it :) [17:53] Whats the diffrence between Mint and Lubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu? [17:53] Hot2Trot: All files are assigned an inode number to identify them. [17:54] reminds me of Netbeans [17:54] userxxx: Lu/Xu/Ku are just Ubuntu with a different GUI. Mint is a derivative [17:54] userxxx: Mint is an other Linux Distro. [17:54] I have a webDAV server with a self-signed SSL cert. I've imported my CA cert into this computer here and I can use it to browse the webpages on aforementioned server thru SSL. But I can't connect to webDAV thru SSL, because "Certificate verification error: signed using insecure algorithm". Probably something to do with my self-signing but what do I do about it? [17:54] Userxxx: Lubuntu, Kubuntu and Xubuntu are all Ubuntu but come with LXDE, KDE or Xfce as the default environment instead of GNOME or Unity, they just look different. Mint is a derivative of Ubuntu and a fairly different system. [17:55] Polah: I'm looking for more of a way to tag files without having to have a file in a specific directory. Like I want to categorize my movies as comedies or dramas without putthing them in a comedy or drama directory. [17:55] I've been working on Ubuntu 10.10 coz it's stable. All other Ubuntu's have problems on my pc and lack performance and stability. But I would like to upgrade without degrading an OS === katja is now known as Guest35669 === PsychoSlarti is now known as Psychobudgie [17:56] userxxx, upgrade worked well for me this time [17:56] userxxx, do you use a NVIDEA card? [17:57] Younder> I'm making a distro for basic users that NEVER worked on Linux before so it should be compatible with most hardware. === cain is now known as Cain [17:57] userxxx, well you have come to the right Linux [17:59] How do I mount a CF card that I can delete photos that I don't want I mount it and it shows read only??? [17:59] But Ubuntu Unity sucks, for example a new user will never know what he/she got on the system if they don't know the application's name. And what is the use to switch back to classic mode on 11.04? Then I can might as well stick with 10.10 [18:00] userxxx, unity is just one option [18:00] I couldn't agree more userxxx [18:00] userxxx, check again [18:00] maheanuu, I hate unity too [18:01] I know how to make a live USB stick with remastersys and unetbootin - can I make a bootable, live USB external hard-drive? [18:01] jpds, yes if your bios allows a strick to be bootable [18:02] hi [18:02] hey im trying to install mangler in xubuntu and i keep getting the error "No package 'x11' found when i run ./configure [18:02] when creating a folder to my usb, it says not enough space [18:02] any idea how to fix this? [18:03] can I stope non-admin users from being able to change the time? [18:03] Skeep, fix what? [18:03] the error [18:03] it randomly shouts "Device doesnt have any space left" (or something, translated).. I just created a folder, before that it said that error.. now it says the error again [18:03] Skeep: you may need to install the xorg-dev package. [18:04] Is there a single command in Ubuntu that allow me to append a line to a file? It has to be a non-interactive command. [18:04] Switching back to classic mode also limits desktop customization. I need an alt to gnome. Gnome 3 does have themes, but only Windows 98 themes. What Ubuntu distro like Lubuntu/Xubuntu are best [18:04] *can allow [18:04] GatorAlli: cat "line" >> file or echo "line" | tee -a file [18:04] GatorAlli: evho here is a line >>your file [18:04] GatorAlli, if you're using bash, you can just echo "text or output" >> /path/to/file [18:04] why does this happen? there is 1% USED on the stick and it says not enough spoace [18:04] lol thanks [18:05] These days yo can get up tp 256Gb sticks any particular reason why your stick is so limited? [18:05] Pici, should that be under synaptic? [18:05] Skeep: either use synaptic or your favorite package manager. [18:06] Can compiz easly work on XFCE without tweaks needed? [18:06] alright installing now [18:06] i'll tell you how i go after [18:06] userxxx: You shouldn't have any issues. [18:07] userxxx: Classic GNOME has limited customization options? Really? http://gnome-look.org/ [18:07] blub [18:07] Skeep: Mangler is available from the repos or a PPA. There's not need to compile it. [18:07] bliblablub [18:08] Younder: who, me? [18:08] Starminn> Yea, it's not like you can run Emerald themes without complications. [18:09] userxxx: I've never had complications with them. *shrug* Always run at startup and switch like a charm. [18:09] Polah: I can't find it if i search under synaptic. [18:09] bindi, 1 % used.. [18:09] Younder: yes. it says not enough space when creating a folder [18:09] how do i search within a .gz file [18:10] for text [18:10] im using sudo grep example.com /var/log/mail.log.4.gz [18:10] TheMatrix30001: you don't [18:10] TheMatrix30001: zgrep string /var/log/mail.log.4.gz [18:10] ag ok thank you [18:10] Thank you Pici [18:10] or that, but not grep :-) [18:11] Starminn> I always have problems with my top text window bar. It just dissapears for no reason. And 3d compiz effects have trouble too. [18:11] bindi, not very helpfull but it works for me [18:12] userxxx: are you using emerald that is in 11.04's repositories? [18:12] bindi, if I can't recreate it I can't help [18:12] In Natty, there's always a mail icon next to the clock. Does this mean Evolution is running from startup? [18:12] I am getting bad key erros. I have tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1221323 HOWTO but I still get errors about BADSIG when doing aptitude update. I try retrieving the keys again but they are unchanged. I'm stuck.. any ideas? [18:12] userxxx: That's because Compiz stops replacing Metacity. Telling Compiz to run again solves it for me. Just ALT+F2, "compiz --replace" [18:12] mk1324: you know emerald isnt supported right? [18:12] userxxx: if you mean with close, minimize etc then its called the window decorator [18:13] TheEvilPhoenix: works fine on my computer O.o [18:13] !emerald [18:13] emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. [18:13] TheEvilPhoenix: still works fine on mine [18:13] Skeep: http://www.playdeb.net/software/mangler [18:13] Userxxx: do you use nvidia driver per chance? [18:14] Is there any way I can make selecting text also copy it in terminal? [18:14] Starminn> Yea compiz --replace that works but try doing it 200 times a day. I switch back to 10.10 and everything is fine now. But would like more inforamtion on other distros coz I'm never going back to 11.04 [18:15] ujjain1: Ctrl+Shift+C/V to copy/paste in terminal [18:15] ah, I use ctrl-c, I'll use ctrl shift v [18:15] ujjain1, yes -c === ShareMind is now known as Popo_tuk_Momo [18:16] Polar: when i hit install it opens up usc and says mangler isnt in my current software sources. [18:16] userxxx: Oh, I thought I read earlier that you were still on 10.10 " And what is the use to switch back to classic mode on 11.04? Then I can might as well stick with 10.10" I read that as you were still using 10.10 (as am I). My apologies for the misunderstanding. [18:16] ActionParsnip> It's a laptop with intel graphics [18:16] Can anybody tell me, who works on gnome panels? [18:16] Or ctrl+ins / shift+ins [18:16] Userxxx: gotcha [18:16] developers [18:16] I am on 10.10 now [18:16] rabbi1: keen [18:16] Skeep: What version of Ubuntu are you using? [18:16] Userxxx: maybe it'll improve in Oneiric [18:16] xubuntu 11.04 [18:17] Starminn: how can i get in touch with him/her? [18:17] evening [18:17] rabbi1: i'd try lau [18:17] Launchpad [18:17] rabbi1: Hmm? No, that was my response to "developers." Yes, of course developers work on them, lol. Sorry. [18:18] simply ask between ubuntu and xubuntu which offer much greater feature? [18:18] bindi, it all seems plain vanilla to me. I can't imagine why you are having these probles [18:18] hi guys, can someone suggest a good textmate clone for ubuntu? i tried redcar but it is a memory beast [18:18] Younder: probably broken stick. windows says fs error (65535) [18:18] !best | Betrayer [18:18] Betrayer: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task.

So if I can use XFCE with compiz then I might download a distro now but don'y know which one [18:19] Skeep: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/pm/mangler [18:19] rabbi1, keep in mind that there isn't much development done on gnome-panel anymore as it's on the way out with gnome3 [18:19] Question: In Ubuntu10.10 when my system goes into standby, it doesn't come back out.

I am in mid of a sleep.... |) [18:20] glebihan: ok, anyway ubuntu started providing unity [18:20] rabbi1: How about you just state what your question is. [18:21] ubuntu boots only under the following two conditions for me: 1. once directly after install. 2. once directly after a Windows session. i don't think it's a uuid vs. /dev/sdaX thing anymore. but i have no more clues [18:21] Userxxx: go to distrowatch and you will see LOTS of distros and what their aim is. Ubuntu-based distributions will not be supported here. There are many distractions to choose from [18:21] <__puters-suck> @starminn - make sure you swap it active in case it is suspending to disk. if it points to a non-existant swap partition, you confuse it to death. :D [18:21] <__puters-suck> dammit - swap IS active. [18:21] Pici: nothing, can't explain as a simple sentence :) [18:21] will just post in the forum.... [18:22] __puters-suck: How do I ensure that?

[18:25] sjonkedispe, I am almost certain this the problem [18:25] rabbi1: the next LTS isnt scheduled until 2012 [18:25] sjonkedispe: is it a regular install, or have you used wubi? [18:25] ActionParsnip> I have that open aswell. Only found kids playing around not really showing the OS [18:25] i have a laptop with ubuntu and desktop. My desktop has a tv tuner dvr. I travel few times a week. Is there a way I can login and watch my recorded stuff. I tried using the app builtin that lets me login to my desktop (ubuntu desktop), worked, but video/sound didn't come through. Can anyone recomend a link on the subject? [18:25] Younder: to me it seems that a windows session actually corrects the partition, and ubuntu corrupts itself [18:25] <__puters-suck> are you using straight ubuntu with gnome? What version of ubuntu? [18:25] ActionParsnip: no wubi. same disk, different partitions. [18:25] sjonkedispe, It is the only thing that would fail in the nature you describe [18:25] i tried googling, but most of the stuff I found was out of date [18:25] __puters-suck: Using cat /etc/fstab it says swap has no mount point [18:25] April 2012 !!

[18:29] sjonkedispe, still your partions [18:29] ActionParsnip: Intel 945GM [18:29] Pici: can you link me to alternate cd? [18:29] userxxx: For example, the program "KolourPaint" is a good demo of KDE's look-and-feel.

[18:30] sjonkedispe, It might [18:30] ActionParsnip: 11.04! [18:30] <__puters-suck> or edit with gedit would probably be easier for you. {blushes} [18:30] when working with bluetooth, do i need more than gnome-bluetooth? [18:30] Now that just more confusing...GTK and Gnome so where does Compiz come in and XFCE? [18:30] __puters-suck: It's already there. [18:30] does ubuntu performs good in intel or amd ?

But that package is updated, yeah [18:31] <__puters-suck> @polah thanks lol. took the words out of my mouth. [18:31] Younder: can i somehow correct my ubuntu partition? [18:31] Polah: Yeah, I may have misrea d it the first time. If I'm reading it right though it's saying there's no mount point. But yeah, one sec [18:31] ActionParsnip: xserver-xorg-video-intel. that one. [18:31] <__puters-suck> I came here to ask something, now I forgot ROFL. :D [18:31] ubuntu_question: no, there is a regular link at the top of that page. [18:31] Userxxx: gnome and xfce are desktops. Compiz is a window manager. [18:31] sjonkedispe, your failure mode is very strange.

[18:33] ubuntu_question: you're welcome. [18:33] is there a way to turn off the effect of dragging a window to the top of the screen to be maximized? [18:33] OK so XFCE and Gnome and KDE...their programs will will on each other is that right? [18:33] <__puters-suck> I would go into the gnome power manager and just disable suspend ... because your swap seems to be in order.. hmm [18:34] Starminn: Add 0 0 to the end of your /dev/sda2 line, also have you tried UUIDs instead? [18:34] Userxxx: there are light WMs like openbox which don't have all the bells and whistles but run sleeker [18:34] hi [18:34] userxxx, yes, but if you install a kde app you might get a HUGE number of dependencies, including, possibly, KDE [18:34] any ideas why doesn't banshee play flac? ubuntu 10.04 [18:34] Polah: What are UUIDs? [18:34] sry 11.04 [18:35] Starminn: Unique identifiers for partitions. If you run sudo blkid you'll get a list of them. You can use them in place of /dev/sdXY in your stab to specify what to mount. [18:35] Starminn, universally unique identifier [18:36] Starminn, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier [18:36] Starminn: You use them as you them from blkid except without the "", i.e. UUID=a0b1168a-9339-41b2-a3a1-a071baabcd22 / ext4 errors=remount-ro,user_xattr 0 1 [18:36] <__puters-suck> {HATES uuid, hard to read, and unless you moved around partitions, no need} [18:36] ActionParsnip> But I like the bells and whistles ;-) [18:36] Thank you very much Polah! Mangler is up and running :D [18:36] Polah: Seems like it would just muck things up more, and 0 0 is already on /dev/sda2 [18:36] __puters-suck: You're not supposed to read it though, you should set them to point properly the first time and then be able to look at the mount point to know what device that is (: [18:36] x [18:36] what is the difference between the "BSD system initialization" and the "SysV system initialization"?

[18:38] Polah: Oh, it extended beyond the terminal window and apparently it didn't scroll over to catch it all. Here: http://pastie.org/2533168 [18:38] WormDrink: Actually easier than creating a USB from Windows [18:38] <__puters-suck> I read cause I like seeing what is going on.

[18:39] __puters-suck: Can always do mount -l to list them [18:39] WormDrink: Ubuntu comes with one built in: System > Administration > Startup Disk Creator, or you can install and use unetbootin [18:39] oh [18:39] I lied [18:39] <__puters-suck> true [18:39] sorry I meant I only have gentoo [18:39] no ubuntu - or windows [18:40] sjonkedispe, Your problems have confused me too. Please give some kind of update of how things are progressing [18:40] <__puters-suck> okay, it is UGLY to me, I know exactly where /dev/sda4 is, but U011324098716340132897 is just ... nasty [18:40] <__puters-suck> :P [18:40] WormDrink: Oh, that's quite different. unetbootin might exist in Gentoo as well [18:41] __puters-suck: More accurate (: [18:41] hello , can some one help to create a bootable cd to upgrade bios? im on the last step [18:41] <__puters-suck> no. there are exactly the same.

And they worked fine for over twenty years. === Guest15294 is now known as killabyte [18:41] Polah, thanks - it is there - will use that [18:42] __puters-suck: Also means drives get mounted properly if I boot from something else. Normally sda1 is my root, sda2 is my swap and sdb1 is my data partition. If I boot from the minimal ISO, for example, sda1 becomes the USB I'm booted from, sdb1 is root, sdb2 is swap and sdc1 is my data. [18:42] Does anyone have experience with WUBI? [18:43] __puters-suck, UUID fstab is only way man [18:43] <__puters-suck> they did that already, since THAT had a fstab, too. [18:43] <__puters-suck> its preference. I'm old. I like the old way. I have never once run into a problem with it and I am not switching until I do. [18:44] I want to install Ubuntu on my Acer netbook that Windows 7. Will this work ok? [18:44] <__puters-suck> besides it is more like unix [18:44] <__puters-suck> {crap ... duty calls. I'm off!} [18:45] killabyte: To try Ubuntu or actually install and use it? Wubi is more for just making a small installation and trying it in a more-permanent-than-live environment, it's not recommended for a proper, production installation. [18:45] I would like install Ubuntu along with Win7. [18:45] killabyte, perhaps you first try the "live"-version directly from the setup-cd/thumbdrive (without any installation) to check hardware compatibility [18:45] hi, how do i restore my .gnupg folder (I want to restore my pub-private keys). If I just copy the whole folder from my old system I'm getting Login Loop [18:46] Ok, I will try that. [18:46] killabyte: Yeah, you can do that with moving some partitions around. Like I said, Wubi is for a semi-proper installation alongside Windows that's a bit more than a live session but it's not recommended for a proper, working installation. [18:46] I have noticed that the ¨live¨ version takes at least 5 to 10 minutes just to boot up on most systems. [18:46] hello , can some one help to create a bootable cd to upgrade bios? im on the last step === mahdi is now known as vuamahdi [18:47] nuclearworm, update BIOS?

[18:47] killabyte: That's because CDs and USBs typically have lower I/O speeds than hard drives [18:47] Younder, yes that s it [18:47] nuclearworm: That's not really an Ubuntu question [18:48] nuclearworm, that sounds like a seriously bad idea [18:48] Hi Im trying to make CHROMIUM my default browser. XDG-OPEN shows it as default but when I click on a launcher to open a webpage firefox loads up!! [18:48] if I copy an iso to a partition on the hard disk can I boot from it as though it is a CD [18:48] jpmh: With a bit of configuring of GRUB, yes. [18:48] nuclearworm, If anything should disable the piggiback RAM [18:48] Ok, thanks all. You have given me some ¨food for thought.¨ [18:49] Polah: can you guide me towards that GRUB documentauib - using grub2 [18:49] ciao [18:49] Is it possible to boot ubuntu on a macbook pro? [18:49] jpmh: No, sorry. You should be able to get some help in #grub though. [18:49] prudd: Yes. [18:49] from a flash drive [18:49] Polah: ty [18:50] prudd, yes, but it depends on the BIOS [18:50] jpmh, which iso e.g.? I often had problems, when some installer on the iso couldn't find any thumbdrive/cd-rom and i had to mount it manually... [18:50] What si the diffrence between LXDE & XFCE [18:50] garymc: try system > prefs > preferred apps, there's also gnome-open which is set there for some apps [18:50] rumpe1: it will be an iso I make with remastersys [18:50] is anyone here running Ubuntu 11.10 beta 1 right now because I have a question regarding it [18:50] userxxx: They are different environments. They'll perform different, look different (in most cases) and use different tools [18:50] im at home now, anything I can do by ssh terminal [18:50] james296, #ubuntu+1 for Oneiric support [18:50] thank you [18:51] how would I go about installing it on a flash drive so that I can boot, it [18:51] rumpe1, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_9660 [18:51] garymc: What exactly do you want to do over SSH? [18:51] hello , can some one help to create a bootable cd to upgrade bios? im on the last step [18:51] Damm, which one is beeter [18:51] !usb | prudd [18:51] prudd: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [18:51] userxxx: Whichever one you prefer, LXDE is typically a bit lighter though [18:52] nuclearworm, as already said, that's a bit offtopic here === ErikT is now known as Guest90213 [18:52] also, does anyone know if its yet possible to enable the overlay scrollbar in firefox yet? [18:53] does the .dmg extension on the end of the converted file cause any problems with booting [18:53] garymc: maybe like this: gconftool-2 -t string /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command -s 'chromium-browser "%s"' [18:53] hmmm [18:53] prudd: You need to set up the USB drive following the instructions on the pages ubottu linked you to. You can't just stick the .iso on it and go. [18:54] Where does ubuntu hide xorg.conf in 11.04? [18:54] ryan-c, there's now xorg.conf by default [18:54] ryan-c: by default, it doesn't have an xorg.conf [18:54] *no* [18:54] I need middle click emulation turned on [18:54] how can i enable that? [18:54] ya i tried that and it wouldn't see the drive when i alt-booted [18:54] glebihan , off topic? i m using ubuntu to create such cd. what channel do you suggest so? [18:54] ryan-c: If you create an xorg.conf, it will honor it. [18:55] nuclearworm: probably the documentation for your BIOS [18:55] hey all, i need a simple way to see data bytes as they come in over tcp. [18:55] nuclearworm: Then follow the guide telling you how to create that CD. You can use brasero or some other disc burner to burn the disc. [18:55] so how do i modify the non-existent xorg.conf so as to not screw up the autodetected config? [18:55] there is no way to dump what x is using as it's config? [18:55] nuclearworm, then be a little more specific about what your actual issue is [18:56] nuclearworm, I know a hacker when I see one ;) [18:56] also why is it a good thing to have no xorg.conf [18:56] Polah , i ve followed it but i got stuck on a step [18:56] ok I got a grub error: no such device: (device id here) then grub rescue> [18:56] nuclearworm: So we can't help you with that here. We're Ubuntu support, not flashing your BIOS support. [18:56] Is it posible to use a mobile as a Bluetooth device for my PC? [18:56] ryan-c, it's neither a good nor a bad thing, it's just that work configuration isn't handled that way anymore by default [18:56] im having and issue with oneiric installing on my cpu [18:56] dbmit : Oneiric/11.10 is not yet released. Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion. [18:57] so how do i get the generated config? [18:57] ryan-c, I think that "sudo X -configure" generates a basic xorg.conf [18:57] Polah , ok i ll try to be more specific [18:57] glebihan: fails on account of X already running [18:57] So what can I do with "grub rescue>" ? [18:57] no one seems to be talking in that room [18:57] about my problem [18:58] james296: You'll just need to be patient. [18:58] ryan-c, then try "sudo X -configure -- :1" [18:58] Hi People! I want to install an application that needs libjpg8. Anybody an idea how i get that? [18:58] anyway maybe someone can help here... [18:58] glebihan: -- is not a valid option [18:58] CAN I GET video chat software [18:58] james296: no, Oneiric support is offtopic for this channel. [18:58] the clock in 11.10 beta 1 only shows the word Time in it [18:59] srikanth: skype [18:59] hey all [18:59] !oneiric | james296 [18:59] james296: 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 [18:59] can i get anything like yahoo messanger [18:59] can someone help me [18:59] Polah , i got stuck when using mkisofs -o bootcd.iso -b FDOEM.144 FDOEM.144 got a I: -input-charset not specified, using utf-8 (detected in locale settings) [18:59] genisoimage: No such file or directory. Invalid node - 'FDOEM.144'. messages === newbie is now known as Guest54066 [18:59] i removed unity but i want globalmenu back how can i install it === Guest54066 is now known as mamed [19:00] srikanth: consider gtalk/gmail-chat, if you like. all in your browser. [19:00] ryan-c, sorry should just be "sudo X -configure :1" [19:00] srikanth: What about Skype for Linux? [19:00] glebihan: without -- it fails complaining about a failure to load vmwgfx (i am not using vmware) and then that the numbedr of created screens does not match detected screens [19:00] Hi [19:00] So what can I do with "grub rescue>" ? [19:00] or gtalk with pidgin? [19:00] hello all, does anyone know if mdadm will allow a RAID5 array to be migrated to a RAID0 array, or do I need to recreate the array? [19:00] does anyone knows how to mount a hfsplus hd read/write? [19:00] ryan-c, in that case, I'd try it after stopping X [19:00] does pidgin cover Yy! messanger [19:00] *Y! [19:01] isv hfsplus is this macos file system? [19:01] glebihan: oi [19:01] Hi People! I want to install an application that needs libjpg8. Anybody an idea how i get that? [19:01] how can i install global menu back i removed unity [19:01] mamed: it's a friends hd and she has a mac, so I think it is. [19:02] HI all [19:02] i dont know isv but she has to format it i think [19:02] s34n1: hi [19:02] glebihan: same message about detected screens [19:02] i want global menu vack [19:02] mamed: is it possible to make a partition? [19:02] back* [19:02] no_gravity, is it libjpg or libjpeg (if it's libjpeg, then "sudo apt-get install libjpeg8") [19:02] glebihan , i got stuck when using mkisofs -o bootcd.iso -b FDOEM.144 FDOEM.144 got a I: -input-charset not specified, using utf-8 (detected in locale settings) genisoimage: No such file or directory. Invalid node - 'FDOEM.144'. [19:02] looking for developer buddies [19:02] mamed, ext4? [19:03] isv i dont think that you can install linux on the same partition [19:03] why is it trying to generate a three monitor config on my laptop? [19:03] hiya all...i have a really newbie question about irc webchat on ubuntu... [19:03] ryan-c, weird... [19:03] Younder: no [19:03] mamed: I don't want to install linux on it, I just want to pass some files around 50-60 GB. [19:03] glebihan: "couldnt find package libjpeg8" [19:03] why? [19:04] so [19:04] how the fuck do i get middle click emulation? [19:04] mamed: is that 'why?' for me? [19:04] no_gravity, which version of ubuntu are you using ? [19:04] mamed: FAT32? urghh! [19:04] create an xorg config from scratch that enables it? [19:04] glebihan: 10 [19:04] ryan-c: please mind the language [19:04] no_gravity: which 10 [19:04] no_gravity, 10.04 or 10.10 ? [19:04] ryan-c: 1) mind your language 2) yes, thats what I told you to do at the beginning. [19:04] hi, I installed openclipart-libreoffice, but it's not showing in libre office. any idea? [19:05] global menu i need help [19:05] ryan-c: all you need to have in it is the part you need, the rest will be detected as usual. [19:05] okay, fine. [19:05] hello, my ubuntu start in console mode, any way to change this to gui? [19:05] what is global menu?? [19:05] Also since when did people have a problem with swearing on IRC? [19:05] glebihan, Myrtti: 10.04 [19:05] ryan-c: since some channels started striving for to be family friendly and professional [19:06] How can I add a IRC channel. [19:06] global menu is mac os like menu bar [19:06] hello all, does anyone know if mdadm will allow a RAID5 array to be migrated to a RAID0 array, or do I need to recreate the array? [19:07] userxxx: /join #newchannel [19:07] Ohh.. [19:07] I don't think "Family Friendly" and "IRC" are compatible, but fine, I can follow rules. [19:07] no_gravity, you may want to try enabling the backports repositories [19:07] WinDu1965: I think might help: update-rc.d gdm defaults [19:07] userxxx: /join #xfce on irc.freenode.net [19:07] glebihan: ok. how do i do that? [19:07] That doesn't seem to work [19:08] !backports | no_gravity [19:08] no_gravity: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [19:08] whois ryan-c [19:08] userxxx: /join #xfce [19:08] That doesn't seem to work either [19:08] userxxx: just type this: /join #xfce [19:09] Coool that worked thanks [19:09] Pici: Creating an xorg with just a InputDevice pointer section doesn't work [19:09] Younder: i've always installed windows first, then linux. do you imagine doing it the other way around would make a difference? [19:09] the section seems to be ignored [19:09] userxxx: if you start typing with / it's a command, else, you talk in the current channel [19:10] is there a way to turn off the effect of dragging a window to the top of the screen to be maximized? [19:10] sjonkedispe, It would make it more difficult, but it can be done [19:10] glebihan: hmm... ok, i copied the first line in my sources.list and changed "lucid" to "lucid-backports". lets see what happens now... [19:10] glebihan: still no libjpeg8. [19:10] when booting off a flash drive on a mac what should you select after you alt-boot [19:11] no_gravity, did you run "sudo apt-get update" ? [19:11] glebihan: yes [19:11] Younder: i was thinking, could it have a positive impact on my "gave up waiting for root device" situation, and so forth. [19:11] sjonkedispe, I wouldn't think so [19:11] no_gravity, then I guess if you really need if it, you'll have to compile it yourself (there doesn't seem to be any ppa for that package for lucid) [19:11] ok [19:12] how do you tell which NIC is which in NetworkManager? [19:12] glebihan: "apt-cache search libjpeg" finds libjpeg62. should i use that? [19:12] Pici: creating a *full* new xorg.conf doesn't work. What is going on? [19:12] What's the right way to enable my user account to modify /var/ww? [19:12] Change its ownership? Or make a new group for my account and that folder [19:12] no_gravity, if you application is saying it requires libjpeg8 I don't think that would work [19:13] ryan-c: I'm on a call at work at the moment, can't respond right this second. [19:13] glebihan: so how do i compile it? [19:13] okay [19:13] lsc: update-rc.d gdm defaults did not work, gdm not found [19:13] so I'm looking at the log [19:13] Hey guys, what do you recommend for burning audio CD from Ubuntu? [19:13] manixor: brasero? [19:13] when booting off a flash drive on a mac what should you select after you alt-boot [19:13] it's detected as an ImPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint with three buttons (it only has two) [19:14] VCoolio, thanks. [19:14] ajf: depends what you are doing. I usually just make groups but then you have to change the group that folder belongs to [19:14] no_gravity, download the source for maverick for example (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+source/libjpeg8/8a-1) [19:14] eein: Well, the folder is owned by root [19:14] !compile | no_gravity, then [19:14] no_gravity, then: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first). Also read !checkinstall [19:14] WinDu1965: so when you boot up the computer just gives you a prompt asking for something like computer_name login: [19:14] So I don't see why changing the group matters [19:15] can someone help me in finding globalmenuu [19:15] lsv: yes [19:15] so maybe xorg is ignoring it? [19:15] can you log in? [19:15] glebihan: ok, thank you [19:16] ajf a folder is owned by a user but accessible/readable/whatever by groups, change group and/or add yourself to group and done; so you can have several users using that folder instead of only owner [19:16] ajf: you got 3 parts that make up access owner, group, everybody else [19:16] hey everyone. had to change screens [19:16] lsv yes, i can, after typing username & pass, X starts [19:16] WinDu1965: You can log in right? If you can, what happens when you enter 'startx' [19:17] WinDu1965: so you don't need to use startx to get to the GUI? [19:17] this is ridiculous [19:17] eein: OK [19:17] ajf: ls -la /var to check owner:group and permissions [19:17] ryan-c, yes it is [19:17] ajf: if you leave root as owner and lets say the group is peoplz and you deny access for everyone else your use has to be a member of peoplz to have access [19:17] lsv: dont need to enter startx [19:18] eein: yes [19:18] when booting off a flash drive on a mac what should you select after you alt-boot [19:18] eein: If I were to change the ownership to my account (ajf), root still has access, right? [19:18] WinDu1965: mmm... has it always been like this? [19:19] err, How can I make the dock appear at the first monitor? [19:19] mamed: It's there by default in 11.04, at the top of the screen [19:19] lsv: i think so [19:19] ajf: otherwise you are everybody else. so if the group is peoplz and you want to create a new group justus you need to change the folder group to justus and you will probably want to add all the users that were in peoplz to justus so previous users that had access still do [19:19] what is the unity dock called? [19:19] WinDu1965: and you don't want to look all hacker-ish by typing into a black screen? [19:19] eein: I am the only user on this system [19:19] Is there any point making a group? [19:20] ajf: yes, but that's not the way to handle permisions, often means a security risk; if you don't care, do what you like [19:20] VCoolio: what is the correct way though? [19:20] I have two accounts. root and ajf. I need ajf to be able to do almost anything in /var/ww [19:20] the group way, like more or less explained above [19:20] ah [19:20] OK [19:20] mamed: In Unity, anyway. In GNOME2, this is it: http://code.google.com/p/gnome2-globalmenu/ [19:20] lsv: nah, going to give this laptop to my son [19:21] WinDu1965: aah ok. [19:21] ajf: again it kinda depends the big thing is you dont want to break permissions previously had and you dont want to mess stuff up down the road. but on a one user box you can fix most things pretty quickly [19:22] so check group of the folder, add yourself to that group; some stuff may not work if configured with wrong permissions [19:22] eein, it can.. Because what you are suggesting sounds like major surgery [19:23] woot woot [19:23] WinDu1965, could you pastebin your /etc/init/gdm file ? [19:24] news [19:24] Younder: which suggestion. my primary suggestion was to make a group. [19:24] whats everyone [19:24] whats up [19:24] will dual booting OSX and W7 cause a problem for booting off of a flash drive on a macbook pro? [19:24] VCoolio: I made a www group, put me in that group, changed ownership of /var/www to that group, and gave group +rwx for /var/www [19:24] WinDu1965: do you have gdm or the one that starts with the k, I forgot the name [19:24] glebihan: just realised something, this is not a gnome, but kde [19:24] valyn i have dual booting on mine no problems at all [19:24] how stupid [19:25] just depends if your hardware loads up correctly [19:25] WindPower, ok then that would be kdm [19:25] drivers] [19:25] eein, a group sounds fine. I feel I am fumbling in the blind [19:25] ajf: not ownership, group I hope, like "chown -R root:www /var/www", but good; login again or changed group belongings won't work yet for you [19:25] 11675978 [19:25] exit [19:25] WinDu1965: have you solved the problem? [19:26] VCoolio: yes, I meant changed groop [19:26] anybody else know how to turn on middle click emulation in x? [19:26] woot woot [19:26] GigaGiga1 so I have been trying to do this but every time I try and boot off of the flash drive (after installing from the instructions on the website) all i get on the alt boot is the Macintosh HD, Windows, and Recovery HD [19:27] Im trying to use the "connect to server" feature in nautilus to connect to amazon ec2 cloud. I have the keys stored on my local machine and I can connect fine via terminal. I just need to do some file transfering and I really would like to have this as a mapped drive and not have to use terminal in that [19:27] just install vmware [19:27] and run it off vmware [19:27] save you the trouble [19:27] valyn, some flash drive isos have problems with EFI boots instead of bios [19:27] rawfodog, ssh-add path/to/pem [19:27] of all the hassle [19:27] !enter | GigaGiga1 [19:27] GigaGiga1: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [19:28] rawfodog, then open the file manager and go to sftp://ubuntu@host [19:28] valyn, I donno which ones [19:28] smw I dont get it [19:28] w30 would there be documentation on the website for the flash drive that will say? [19:28] smw do I enter that into terminal ? Can you be a bit more clear. Thank you for your help :D [19:28] rawfodog, ssh-add path/to/pem is a command to be typed in a terminal [19:28] k [19:29] try mounting to local folder using sshfs, then you can browse, if you mean that [19:29] valn no, it's the iso problem check the errata for the iso [19:29] VCoolio: thanks for your help! [19:29] is there a way to set a directory to automatically add group write permissions to any files created in it? [19:30] sftp://ubuntu@host ??? Do you mean amazon ec2 ? [19:30] w30 well I'm trying to boot ubuntu so does that mean its a problem with the ubuntu iso? [19:30] rawfodog, replace "host" with the hostname [19:30] ajf: you're welcome [19:30] can i download iso onto comp[uter and save to hard drive without making a dvd or cd? [19:31] ok, also the file manager doesnt allow me to enter the url ??? [19:31] stephenthemartyr: yes, yes you can. [19:31] is it hard to do? [19:31] there, got the touchpad to behave [19:31] stephenthemartyr: what iso are you trying to download? [19:31] hi [19:31] juniour: hi [19:31] avlinux [19:31] valyn, the iso is transfered to the first part of the flash drive, the bios or EFI part. If the iso can't handle the EFI part there is trouble. That's what I understand any way [19:31] VCoolio: new problem now. I added the only file in /var/www, index.html, to the right group and gave it the right permissions [19:31] rawfodog: if you can ssh, use sshfs user@host:/path Folder where folder is existing and empty folder [19:31] but now I can't delete it [19:32] what am I doing wrong? [19:32] rawfodog, ctrl+l [19:32] lsv: avlinux [19:32] j [19:32] w30, is there a way of fixing it without getting a different flash drive [19:32] rawfodog, ctrl+l gives you a url bar in many programs. [19:32] lsv you have any idea of virtualbox [19:32] rawfodog, it is sort of standard. like ctrl+p for print [19:32] yes use VMWARE [19:32] stephenthemartyr: http://www.bandshed.net/DownloadInstall.html [19:33] ajf: because root owns it? if you don't own it, you can't delete it, unless using sudo; you can read, write, execute as group [19:33] I have a stunnel --> haproxy --> lighttp setup, between haproxy and lighttp communication is standard http (80). Haproxy adds X-Forwarded-Proto: https. How can I check within the lighttp that the X-Forwarded-Proto header contains https, so that I can do a redirect if it does not have it === alpha is now known as Guest61297 [19:33] lsv [19:33] juniour: what GigaGiga1 said [19:33] What is the best way to create a bunch of shortcuts to open specific files/folders? [19:33] oh mannnn thank you smw lolol [19:33] lsv i have a problem [19:33] you kick butt thank you smw [19:33] lsv: right thats where i get the iso but bhow can i download it and install it without using a dvd or cd? [19:33] juniour: ask, and maybe some people will help [19:33] lsv i waan to share windos 7 host folder to ubuntu gest [19:34] ajf, you would have to set the correct persmissions on the /var/www folder also, not only the file [19:34] lsv via virtualbox [19:34] stephenthemartyr: Use a usb? [19:34] Chromium = Chrome? [19:34] i have mounted the folder [19:34] dont hVe one [19:34] but i cant get acess to that shared folder [19:34] ujjain1, google it. There are slight differences [19:34] oh I see [19:34] k:) [19:35] hi [19:35] I'm getting this error with the newest distrobution install disk "(initramfs) mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: input/output error." - i've googled it and it seems to be somewhat common but I haven't found any work arounds. The checksum's match. Any ideas? [19:35] ujjain1, chromium is the open source version. It is what I use. It works :-). [19:35] VCoolio: oh [19:35] I see :/ [19:35] im unable to download skype [19:35] ujjain1, there is no reason if on linux to use chrome (in my opinion). On windows and mac, I use chrome [19:35] stephenthemartyr: you need either the DVD or the usb. I would say usb, because you could use it multiple times [19:36] hello.

[19:48] at one time there was a command that i ran that split one large file into three - six smaller ones. any of you fine folks remember the command? [19:49] how can I print system variables like $JAVA_HOME? [19:49] teddyroosebelt: 'split' [19:49] OerHeks, can you explain me what this means : This hardware has no volume controls; use PulseAudio. [19:49] Front panel and maybe the HP amp do not work [19:50] whats the link for oneirik again? [19:50] for the chat room [19:50] A_J, what prob are you having? [19:50] james296 : Oneiric/11.10 is not yet released. Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion. [19:50] Hi all: I'm having increasing numbers of issues caused by apparmour on ubuntu 11.04. Where's the best place to go for help? [19:50] does LXDE mean you just don't need a graphic card? [19:50] kusznir, default apparmor profile? [19:51] or have you made a lot yourself [19:51] Yea, at least, I didn't make any changes to it. [19:51] teddyroosebelt, would split be what yo want [19:51] gentoo-intel, nothing. Gonna get a new sound card so checking if it would work. the Site says : This hardware has no volume controls; use PulseAudio.Front panel and maybe the HP amp do not work [19:51] userxxx: What is LXDE for, if you don't have a monitor? :P [19:51] did not understand what that means [19:51] A_J, what card is it? [19:51] Well, I made one line to turn off apparmour for evince, required for it to function for users at all. [19:51] Pici, i tried it didn't work out. i ran tar cvzf - backup.rar | split - d -b 200m - backup.rar. [19:51] hello [19:51] gentoo-intel, : http://bit.ly/pOmYPD [19:51] A_J: seems pretty obvious to me [19:51] !hello [19:51] gentoo-intel, The only apparmour change I made is apparmor_parser -R /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.evince [19:51] teddyroosebelt, then cat to put them back together [19:52] Without that, evince fails to run for any user. [19:52] A_J, i have the xonar ds and it works fine. the drivers are built in the kernel for the xonar cards [19:52] No if you what to use your hard instead of toilet paper he he. It's a light weight window manager [19:52] gentoo-intel, all features work well [19:52] w30, it said extra operand backups.rar and didn't output anything [19:52] gentoo-intel, I believe the root of my problems are my user home directories are on an NFS mounted volume (eg, reside on a dedicated fileserver) [19:52] If uname -a tells me I have a x86_64, then that belongs to the class "amd64", right? [19:52] A_J, yes, i get all the volume controls in alsamixer, but i only use plain stereo, it works and sounds great [19:53] kusznir, it probably is. apparmor default profiles are set to generic locations afaik [19:53] thanks gentoo-intel. I'm planning on ordering it. Any Problems/ drawbacks ? [19:53] so youll have to just change them yourself [19:54] A_J, afaik the DG is pretty similar to the DS. i found it sounded better than onboard. all works 100% fine [19:54] v good cards [19:54] Hey guys. I have A windows XP Retail ISO and I was wondering is there anyway to put that on A USB from Ubuntu? [19:54] thanks gentoo-intel. I will order it . greets [19:54] ok [19:54] whois lino [19:55] A_J: sorry had to save my dinner from the oven [19:55] teddyroosebelt, I have only used it on dd images, donno?

[22:08] dj_beirut: I don't have any time for much else. did you try asking in the xbmc forums if a proprietary driver for that chipset is required? they would best be able to answer that--it is important--if it isn't just continue along to the remaining steps i [22:08] n their guide. and I'm on a touchpad which makes it hard to type.
