[00:26] ActionParsnip: Yes, but I like VLC for it's simplicity and would like to be able to use it:) And of course, it's fun to solve problems;) [00:27] sjrp: gnome-mplayer and totem are just as 'simple' as vlc... [00:27] sjrp: does the issue happen as other users? [00:27] sjrp, VLC is out of sync for me as well. Well, it was but it seems ok now. I changed the preferences>sound>hardware profile selection on the card from Analog Duplex to Analog Stereo and it seems to have corrected it... maybe? [00:28] banshee cannot see ipod touch. should it? cc: bazhang [00:28] where do you choose which driver is being used? Someone else had suggested that I switch drivers as well [00:28] ActionParsnip, and those players can play all kinds of media that VLC can? [00:29] Aszurom, will try that right know! Let you know in a se [00:29] c [00:29] sjrp: yes, the OS uses a central place for codecs, so anything one can play the others can [00:30] sjrp: and from that responce, I guess you HAVEN'T tested other players [00:30] anything you can play, I can play better! I can play anything better than you! [00:30] vlc is overrated but new users think its great because of their windows days [00:31] why does IRC have to turn into a contest? It doesn't matter why VLC instead of another app. What matters is "how to fix VLC" not if it's better or not. [00:32] true but you should test other apps to see if its the system or the app, making a new user also allows you to test with vanilla settings :) [00:32] ActionParsnip, Yes, I have tested other players. Lately Totem pretty much. But I haven't tested all kinds of different media types on it. But when you mention it, it feels kind of logical that Ubuntu uses a central place for codecs;) [00:32] it does seem that mplayer didn't suffer the same lipsync issues :-) [00:33] that's how I could tell it was wrong... lips were slightly out of sync with speech === XLV_ is now known as XLV [00:33] "the Vanilli Effect" [00:33] ActionParsnip, Because I recall that back in the days when I couldnt pay mp3:s out of the box in ubuntu, I always installed VLC and viola, I could play mp3:s everywhere [00:34] Aszurom, worked! Thank you [00:34] awesome [00:34] Hi! I have a problem with my Ubuntu Email. I have been accepted as an Ubuntu Member on September 15th, and I still cannot use my Email. What happens? [00:34] I just stumbled on that randomly [00:34] JoseeAntonioR: you can't send or recieve email with that address :P [00:34] ActionParsnip, where do you tell the system which audio driver it's using anyway? [00:34] what i am not understanding is even with a umask 077, the permissions of new files are not being set properly [00:35] ryann: can you be more specific? [00:35] shadowh511 I cannot recieve. I've been trying to send and email from account X, which is also supposed to recieve emails from the Ubuntu Email. [00:35] Anyone know how to recover what the openldap admin username is after a 11.04 openldap install? [00:36] cn=admin,dc=domain,dc=com does not work with the password I set on install. [00:36] Great, and btw I agree with you. It doesn't really matter why I'd like to use VLC instead of others (with that said, I'm always open for other stuff). The important thing is to get it fixed;) [00:36] when domain is replaced with the configured server domain. [00:37] I have a problem with my Ubuntu Email. I have been accepted as an Ubuntu Member on September 15th, and I still cannot use my Email. What happens? [00:42] my computer cannot see the stuff inside of ipod. is there a way? [00:42] Okay, Sbackup wasn't what I wanted. Do you know any program that does backups, but stores the files as they are without archiving and stuff. Just basic automatic copying from my internal to my external harddrive.. [00:43] JoseeAntonioR, what do you mean by "I cannot use me email" ? [00:43] No need to restore, just merge the folders when I add new files. So what I'm searching for is basically a program that works like Ubuntu One, but makes the backups to my external drive instead of to the cloud. [00:43] macer1: I cannot recieve emails. [00:44] winstonG, many of the music players like banshee and rhythmbox support ipods [00:44] sjrp: rsync -options [from ] [to] [00:44] sjrp, rsync [00:45] escott_: i have both, and amarok. only amarok can see ipod as a device. but cannot see inside [00:45] Okay, thank you. Will try now [00:45] JoseeAntonioR, your_launchpad_name@ubuntu.com does not work? it should redirect mails, to your main e-mail set in launchpad. [00:45] is there anyway to check if a ide conector has power via terminal? [00:45] sjrp: more specifically: rsync -avz from to [00:46] macer1: It doesn't works. Take in consideration that I have been accepted as an Ubuntu Member on September 15th 2011 [00:46] Can someone direct me to a ubuntu command line iso image file download link? [00:46] MonkeyDust, okay, seems that there is much information on the Ubuntu wiki. [00:47] JoseeAntonioR, alias updating takes 24 hours. It should work now...hmm... [00:47] macer1: Then, I don't know what is the problem? [00:47] Aszurom: sudo lshw -C sound [00:47] Aszurom: look for driver= [00:47] Is this the command line version of ubuntu? http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server/download [00:47] Angelous-, yes [00:47] Angelous- Yes. [00:47] JoseeAntonioR: 1) sometimes it's delayed, 2) if you're testing with a gmail account, gmail is weird and won't show you that it received a message through forward if you sent it from that account [00:48] anyone [00:48] rww I'm testing with a Hotmail account. In the case that it's delayed, when can I test it again? [00:48] ?? [00:48] I have an external USB hd that will not allow me to write to it, It worked normally before and now it tells me that I do not have permission how do I change permissions [00:48] lauratika: if the drive doesn't have power it won't show in BIOS [00:49] JoseeAntonioR, maybe something from this link will be useful for you :) - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuEmail [00:49] ActionParsnip, isn't there a gui hardware inspector? [00:49] macer1 I am actually reading it. [00:49] JoseeAntonioR: give it a few days, then email rt at ubuntu.com if it still isn't working [00:49] Aszurom, depends on what hardware, but the disk utility has a gui for smart status [00:50] rww: Ok, thanks. I'll do that in case it happens. [00:50] lauratika: sudo fdisk -l will show all seen drives and partitions [00:50] Aszurom: lshw-gtk [00:52] thanks [00:52] man, it's maddening that Gnome seems 1 pixel tolerant on getting a resize arrow to show up on a window edge [00:52] it just displays the lshw in a pretty gui [00:53] Aszurom: I believe its different for different themes [00:53] Aszurom: that pixel issue is also why gimp is less accurate than photoshop [00:53] how can i add a user non interactively? [00:53] without the prompts for stuff [00:54] can i install ubuntu inside a virtual machine, in which the virtual machine exposes my real hardware to the OS, and after i install it inside the VM, take the hard drive image and boot into it natively?

[00:55] no sound [00:55] ActionParsnip: does this means my hd is there but has not partition table??... [00:55] is coming out [00:55] klander_: its just how it works [00:55] lauratika, its a device mapper device of some kind [00:55] grrr [00:55] damn this should be easier [00:55] choose a device for sound inputt [00:55] escott_: which means?

[00:56] lauratika: i didn't follow, what was your question?

[00:56] klander_, think of a VM, as a truly VIRTUAL Machine, nothing is real, or exposed directly to the guest OS, everything is translated, to prevent collisions from occurring with the host OS, simultaniously attempting to use the same devices...

[01:04] if so, lauratika, open a console, and open palimpsest, and tell us what all drives it finds [01:04] Dreamer3: all I can say is use that to make a batch of 1 and the user will get made with the password set, could try asking in #bash [01:05] brokencodes:only main hard drive [01:05] and cd/dvd hard drive [01:06] then its safe to say that /dev/dm-0 is not a drive [01:06] but why is listed then?

[01:32] normally i login with: `ssh -i id_rsa-myusername-keypair ubuntu@host.com` [01:32] !repeat [01:32] Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [01:32] sorry about that rww :` [01:32] i already tried gparted. but it doesnt show unbuntu being in an actual partitian [01:33] maheanuu, so you are 1000, likely the problem is permissions on /media/KENS STORAG. what does ls -l /media say, and what does touch /media/KENS\ STORAGE/test.txt say [01:33] pureevol, its not, its a file on your ntfs partition [01:33] sda4 is not anymore on... my swap memory is using 41 ércent of the 2gb at the moment but im only using the browser === kbz is now known as _kBz_ [01:34] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1625371 pureevol this may be relevant [01:35] is there a way to know what is using teh swap memory? [01:35] actually forget my previous question [01:35] see, what i'm trying to do is change my login shell [01:35] from bash to zsh === _kBz_ is now known as kBz_ [01:36] vercingetorix, usermod [01:36] i tried using the chsh command. it asks for my password. i don't user a password, i use a key to login [01:38] escott_, http://paste.ubuntu.com/691993/ [01:38] so escott_, would the cmd be like `usermod -s username /usr/bin/zsh` ... because that's not working [01:38] i can't find any info online about this. for some reason even my natty mounts my ipod touch, neither banshee nor rhythmbox can recognize it. do i have to jailbreak it? [01:39] ty bazhang [01:39] maheanuu, try KENS\ STORAG not STORAGE [01:40] vercingetorix, it would be usermod -s `which zsh` username [01:40] yeah i just got htat [01:40] like literally right before you said it, looked at the mans :) [01:41] that was nice [01:41] thanks escott_ [01:42] 'ello! [01:42] how can I get running an ATI card alongside an NVIDIA one? [01:43] escott_, http://paste.ubuntu.com/691996/ [01:43] deserteagle, What is your setup like? [01:43] simius: as in hardware specs? [01:44] hi can anybody help me with no sound on my comp [01:44] maheanuu, weird.... you could try sudo mount -o remount,rw /media/KENS\ STORAG [01:45] escott_, Ok brb..... [01:46] luc_; new install? [01:46] luc_, try unmuting in amixer [01:47] luc_: have you ever had sound? [01:47] ah, how do i put this escott_ ...i thought it worked [01:47] instead of what you told me however, i did this: [01:47] i did `usermod /usr/bin/zsh -s username` [01:47] no [01:48] did u try to unmute? [01:48] vercingetorix, as long as that is the correct path to zsh its the same [01:48] but for some reason my keyfile locally wont work for logging in [01:48] escott_, I drop back to just a blinking cursor [01:48] says Permission Denied (publickey) [01:48] didn't do this before... [01:49] i dont see a mute button [01:49] I don't know why there's 800085437 confusing ways of doing this online. What is the simple way of disabling the motd on login? [01:49] vercingetorix, well ssh auth_keys is a different method of login that password login. so it wouldn't work locally. you can check if your shell was changed by grepping your username from /etc/passwd [01:49] maheanuu, so now try the touch command again [01:49] how can I get an ATI card to run alongside an NVIDIA one? [01:50] escott_, http://paste.ubuntu.com/691999/ [01:50] Hi, how to reinstall grub2 on root fs please [01:50] deserteagle, im not sure you can. you can try to run two xservers, but having multiple graphics cards is complex, you would need something like vga_switcheroo or bumblebee but for ati/nvidia instead of ati/intel or nvidia/intel [01:50] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1625371 im trying to follow this link. i have the wubi file. unzipped. but when i run the code it says not such file or directory [01:50] !grub | r3m [01:50] r3m: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic).

[01:59] can i get any help with no sound on my comp [01:59] vercingetorix, sounds like your key is not valid. ie you are locked out [02:00] did usermod change the key somehow? [02:00] is that possible? [02:00] vercingetorix, shouldn't have. changing your home directory would mess things up, or changing permissions on .ssh would mess things up [02:00] oh [02:01] i do have a .ssh/config .. lemme se that [02:01] vercingetorix, try to ssh in with verbosity ssh -v username@host [02:01] config file looks pretty kosher [02:01] ok [02:01] when i attempt to connect to a window 7 share i get an unable to mount location error [02:02] luc_, lots to check. is anything showing as muted in alsamixer?

[02:04] ActionParsnip: don't feed the troll, plus he's run away [02:04] vercingetorix: I feed them til they burst. I eat trolls for breakfast [02:05] i like to eat them lean, personally [02:05] starve them for attention [02:05] easier to pluck, too [02:05] dont feed him, his mum is skinny and just wants to make him obesce!

[02:11] Do you think I'll ever be able to watch Netflix on Ubuntu (w/o heavy modifications)? [02:11] ActionParsnip: I looked at the link you sent - I don't have any windows live installed or any of the windows live essentials installed as mentioned [02:11] Space-Duck, write a letter to netflix, but its not likely [02:12] outstandingcitiz, that was rude. [02:12] I guess not. [02:12] Sgteich: that's all I know. [02:12] escott_, I've already sent them some hate mail over it [02:12] escott_: my config file, with the change: http://pastebin.com/7bfn2zGu [02:13] ActionParsnip: Thanks for your help [02:13] hellhammer: add the boot option: ipv6.disable=1 in the quote with: quiet splash in /etc/default/grub save the new file and run: sudo update-grub it will then disable ipv6 [02:13] Space-Duck, well hate mail isn't too productive. they are at the mercy of the studios who view linux users as massive torrenters [02:13] only diff from orig is HostName was my ec2-supplied hostname, i've just binded the public ip to trackingedu.com [02:13] Sgteich: maybe others can help [02:13] it's been working fine for a week [02:14] Space-Duck, to get a license to stream to a system that is controlled by those evil hackers would cost them a lot more === shane__ is now known as Snerf [02:15] are there any decent filesystems that support adding arbitrary tags to files, and querying based on those tags?

[02:16] his wife and his daughter i think [02:16] vercingetorix, i dont think the change you made to your .config is the cause of your problems [02:16] damn shame, his filesystem was the best around i heard [02:16] bleeding edge of the research apparently [02:16] either way, neither of these seems to do that [02:16] is ZFS on linux yet? [02:16] I found tagsistant and tagfs, both of which look experimental [02:17] or still chained to bs licensing crap? [02:17] yeastwars, its possible to put a good bit of data onto some extended fields in ext4, its just not usually used [02:17] last I heard, it is on linux === lap_Dragon is now known as Explodingpiglets [02:17] escott_: I suppose there aren't that many tools that exploit them yet either? [02:17] Gentlemen, if i'm going to create a new Partition on my HDD for Ubuntu, how should it be formatted? NTFS? [02:18] FoxtrotZero: ext4 [02:18] yeastwars, beagle apparently uses user_xattr [02:18] how do i get gnome-shell in 11.10?

[02:21] escott_, anything else i could check [02:21] luc_, afraid i dont know of anything. i know hdmi sound seems to be an issue for a lot of people [02:22] thanks [02:22] I currently have cheese installed on my laptop to access the webcam; but I've noticed that the images are not the greatest quality. Are there any decent applications that will take picture/video from a webcam, and will use the maximum capabilities of the webcam? [02:22] Does anyone know where I can acquire windows binaries for GParted? [02:22] hello all! [02:23] was wondering how to get the ubuntu wizard going in netbook version of ubuntu [02:23] hi, sam555 [02:23] I've been going through this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VPNClient [02:23] FoxtrotZero, if there are windows binaries you would get them from the gparted website, but im not sure thats the best idea [02:23] I'm use to using openvpn on windows machines so this is new for me [02:23] escott_ What do you mean "not the best idea"? [02:23] FoxtrotZero: what are you trying to do? [02:24] where can you get a list of all the chat channels on ubuntu [02:24] FoxtrotZero, gparted uses posix specific methods to access the devices, you don't want to run your partitioning tool through an emulation layer [02:24] luc_, you using exchat ? [02:24] jwpeddle: Maybe i'm going about this all wrong. I need a windows-compatible partition-editing software. I was reccomended Gparted. If you have a reccomendation that's WinXP compatible, i'm listening. [02:24] !log [02:24] Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ .

Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* [02:25] of other topic channels [02:25] FoxtrotZero: gparted is a live cd. You boot into it. It'll work with windows partitions, if that's what you mean. [02:25] or someone could have slipped a 'format C:/' into the gparted client for Windows FoxtrotZero [02:25] ;) [02:26] jwpeddle: Well that's not how it was provided to me. I'm not quite sure how to deal with it. Is there a way to use it for WinXP, or should I be using different software? [02:26] I currently have cheese installed on my laptop to access the webcam; but I've noticed that the images are not the greatest quality. Are there any decent applications that will take picture/video from a webcam, and will use the maximum capabilities of the webcam? [02:26] FoxtrotZero, use a livecd or use a native windows partitioning tool (I can't recommend any) [02:26] escott_ Right then. To wikipedia it is. [02:26] FoxtrotZero: it's easy to use, you just don't do it from within windows. Put it on cd/usb and boot into it. It's got a desktop and a gui app and it's relatively friendly to use. [02:27] FoxtrotZero, are you trying to install ubuntu? [02:27] I'm braindead and I've never managed to wreck anything with gparted on ubuntu, windows, or osx [02:27] urlin2u: Well, no. At the moment, i'm trying to create a partition into which I can install ubuntu. I understand the installation process for ubuntu has a way to do this, but i'm not used to screwing with partitions, and I couldn't quite make sense of it. [02:28] FoxtrotZero, so boot you install media, but try ubuntu instead of installing, and use the included gparted there [02:28] FoxtrotZero: oh! You don't need to. If you just wanna tool around with ubuntu, one of the installation processes fakes a partition [02:28] FoxtrotZero, the ubuntu live cd has gparted. [02:28] urlin2u: Specifically, I want to shrink the C partition that WinXP is on, and create a new partition in which to install Ubuntu, and later move my files into. [02:28] Hello all. I have a notebook with ubuntu 10.04 full costumize with my favorites apps and stuff. I'd like to make a flash-driver to boot with the same settings and apps and stuff as i have on this notebook, and open on different machines.. i know remastersys does that, but its not working so, does anyone have any suggestions? [02:28] It was called wubi, probably still is [02:29] FoxtrotZero, how many partitions on the hd now? [02:29] jwpeddle: I already have a poor track record with wubi [02:29] irlin2u: Two. C and D. [02:29] Escott_: You mean if I trial Ubuntu off of the install disk, it has gparted and I can just do the work from there? [02:29] jwpeddle, wubi is something many of us would not recommend [02:29] FoxtrotZero, yes [02:30] FoxtrotZero, just use the ubuntu live cd, gparted is on it to do what you want. [02:30] escott: Alright then. Thanks for that. You just saved me alot of trouble. [02:30] ygor, what is not working with remastersys. [02:30] escott_: One more question. Can I create a partition using a letter that's usually reserved for USB devices (specifically K)? [02:31] FoxtrotZero, linux doesnt use letters like that [02:31] The partition wouldn't have a letter in windows [02:31] are there any channels for android developing [02:31] escott_ I see what you mean. How would ubuntu identify it? [02:31] like* [02:32] urlin2u: im doing what remastersys asks...the dist option. but it just wont boot up on the other machine..it says theres no image or something like that [02:32] FoxtrotZero, the partition will be sdX# where X is the letter for the device (a) for the first hard drive found (b) for the second etc.... # for the partition number [02:32] ygor, you using a disc or thumb? [02:32] escott_ So it would be in sda3. Alright. I'm going to go ahead and set it up. Thanks for the help, gentlemen. [02:33] FoxtrotZero: you can give the partition a friendlier label when you create it as well === Jasonn is now known as JasonnAWAY [02:33] jwpeddle: How might I do that? [02:33] FoxtrotZero, in the label column of the gparted tool [02:33] urlin2u: im making a iso, then i make a bootup flash drive with ubuntu...and just dont boot up [02:33] escott_ Very well. Anything else I should know before I go? [02:34] don't delete your xp partition, just resize it :D [02:34] FoxtrotZero, just feel free to come back to the channel if you have questions [02:34] ygor, the dist is a disc on the basic system you know this? The use of a thumb is a bit trickier. [02:34] on=of [02:34] !xy | FoxtrotZero and one other thing: [02:34] FoxtrotZero and one other thing:: The XY problem is when you need to do X, and you think you can use Y to do X, so you ask about how to do Y, when what you really should do is state what your X problem is. There may be a Z solution that is even better than Y, but nobody can suggest it if X is never mentioned. [02:35] echo testing | mail -s 'Bla' my-email@gmail.com but i don't see my email. any tips? [02:35] i found it in the junk! [02:35] urlin2u: i dont understand this...but silly question...is there a way to costumize my ubuntu, then make a iso file of this system and be able to boot on any computer? [02:36] ygor, there was a tool with the edubuntu project for rolling isos, but what may be simpler is to make a persistent usb system [02:36] !sound | luc_ [02:36] luc_: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.

[02:36] ygor, yes this is the command sudo remastersys backup , but the getting it to boot from a thumb is a bit more trickier, I haven't gotten thta far. [02:37] I was looking up how to set up my webcam/mic and I ran into a problem. When I run ls /dev/audio* nothing is returned [02:37] urlin2u, you may have to use unetbootin to make that work [02:37] mukti, /dev/snd/* === TheDreamer is now known as Youri [02:38] escott_: ahh ok [02:38] escott_, tried that, from the web it is said to not be that hard but a little more tweaking. [02:38] escott_: okay, thanks. Do you know how I could figure out what ones are the built in mics? [02:38] mukti, not really sorry [02:38] urlin2u: i was doind this using the ubuntu aplication to do so, the usb creator or something like that..but when it boots, it just says theres no filesystem or something like that [02:38] okay, thanks. I'll try to figure it out [02:39] but thanks guys... [02:41] this is great saves time on net surfing for help [02:41] what is ubuntu's rc.local?

[03:47] dr_willis Like I said, according to GParted there's some way for it to just ignore the bad sector - it seems like it won't resize more than a few hundred MiB because of it - but I don't know a damned thing about this program. [03:47] FoxtrotZero: use the typical invocation of ntfsresize, just put -bad-sectors at the end. i have not needed to resize an ntfs partition, but http://linux.die.net/man/8/ntfsresize should help [03:48] terr: more advanced then what? [03:48] mahir256: This is a GUI, not a CLI. Should I be using a CLI for this to work? [03:48] goodnerd: look at fread() it reads size*nmemb bytes or whatever it can and if you make ptr too small you get a buffer overflow [03:48] dr_willis: which is more advanced? destop version or lts version? [03:48] FoxtrotZero: ive never used that option. gpated is a front end to ntfsresize - you might to just use ntfsresize from the cli. [03:49] terr: there is a desktop lts and a desktop non-lts [03:49] the question asks to get a certain number [03:49] terr: i would say just go get the latest desktop version and be done with it. [03:49] i've only been able to get other numbers [03:49] so i know i'm effecting it [03:49] FoxtrotZero: not necessarily; gparted.sf.net/larry/resize/resizing.htm seems to give a solution to your problem [03:49] just not correctly =\ [03:49] terr, 11.04 is the latest normal release and 10.04 is the latest LTS [03:50] hey, how do i get the close, minimize and maximize buttons to be on the right of the window (kinda like on windows)... all of the themes show it on the right:( [03:50] dr_willis: I'm fetching the desktop version. [03:50] terr: can i show you the code ? [03:50] !controls | MGParisi_Linux [03:50] MGParisi_Linux: Starting in Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more informationand workarounds, please see http://pad.lv/532633 [03:50] it says 11.04 is supported to oct 2012 and 11.04lts is supported to april 2013 [03:51] goodnerd how about just the declaration and fread() [03:51] terr: and by the time 2013 gets here there will be several non-lts releases.. :) [03:51] dr_willis: and I can probably just upgrade between now and then. [03:51] 2.6.28-11-server returns i2c i2c-2 sendbytes: NAK bailout on booting. It loops until system halt and prevents logging in even in single-user mode. What is this? [03:52] hey, folks, i got such message, saying "httpd: command not found", after getting apache2 installed within ubuntu 10.04. so, what then?? [03:52] terr: you can do whatever you want. if its imporntant to you to be up to date with the latest kernel.. or not and so on. [03:52] dr_willis, thanks:) [03:52] is that scanf in C ? [03:52] dr_willis: its really not important to me since I've not upgraded since debian sarge! [03:52] i don't see any fread [03:53] dr_willis: I look for something stable first. I'm not too interested in testing unless I have to. === TheDreamer is now known as Youri [03:53] Sorry, nobody has yet to explain the solution in a way I can understand. [03:53] I see it has rekong as the web browser in 11.04 and konquerer in lts [03:54] dr_willis: that isn't really relevent to me since I'll install firewfox. [03:54] http://paste.ubuntu.com/692053/ [03:54] I'll try opening GParted in a CLI, and see what I can do from there? [03:54] ^ there it is if you'd like to see [03:54] FoxtrotZero: run: gksudo gparted see what it says [03:56] No, still lost. Can anyone shed further light on the issue? [03:56] is Clnoezilla a good way to backup an Ubuntu partition (and restore from later)? [03:56] Clonezilla* [03:57] hi all [03:57] I get the following error when running wine on ubuntu: /////Error: API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has version 275.19, [03:57] but this NVIDIA driver component has version 275.21. Please make [03:57] sure that the kernel module and all NVIDIA driver components [03:57] have the same version. [03:57] noobie25: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:57] can anyone help me how to access my g drive from ubuntu? [03:57] noobie25: reinstall the driver package, should help [03:57] subha: what is 'g drive'? [03:58] ActionParsnip, how do i reinstall the driver package? sorry i'm new [03:58] subha: you should be able to get to it from the file manager places menu, or mount it via the proper mount, or ntfs-3g command then get to it. [03:58] !ntfs [03:58] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [03:58] noobie25: run: dpkg -l | grep nvidia you will probably see nvidia-275 if this is the case, run: sudo apt-get --reinstall install nvidia-275 [03:58] actually im using both windows and ubuntu. Ubuntu in VM Virtual box [03:58] ActionParsnip, Thank yOU sir...let me try that [03:59] subha: how did you install ubuntu as well? [03:59] subha: ok, well answered [03:59] VirtualBox, live CD [04:00] in my g drive i have a folder, and how i need to access that in ubuntu? [04:00] subha: then you want to set up some share on the windows side to share the drive to the linux side. [04:00] subha: You can set the folders as accessible in virtualbox (it's in the boxes config), or you can share the 'g drive', use a bridged network card and access the share like you would from another PC on your LAN [04:00] how to do that? [04:00] right click on the g: shareing ,menu item in windows... [04:01] subha: websearch, you'll find guides using the direction we just gave. Their is #vbox which is more specific to your needs [04:01] vbox has its own special kind of share also. like ActionParsnip is mentioning. its documented in the vbox manual. [04:01] well thank, but this is regarding ubuntu [04:01] subha: of it its just for some quick transfers. install ssh server on linux side. and winscp on windows side. and copy files over [04:01] pls just help how to access that file [04:02] I still haven't gotten it fixed, so i'll repeat my issue in the hope that someone can help me. According to GParted, my disk has a bad sector, which I need it to work around so that I can shrink the partition. It says I can "resize NTFS safely by additionally using the -bad-sectors option of ntfsresize." [04:02] FoxtrotZero: what does SMART #4 say about that drive physically [04:02] subha: you dont use vbox to access the hard drive directly. You set up some sort of share to share it with the linux os. [04:03] actually i dont need to copy that file, i need to install a software from my hard drive in ubuntu environ [04:03] centHOGG: I don't know what SMART #4 is. Perhaps you can elaborate? [04:03] under administration there is "disk admin" which can run the smart diags on that hdd [04:03] the file is located in in the G:\ [04:03] subha: you can copy it over via winscp/ssh then run it on the linux side. would be the quickest way. [04:03] subha: http://www.mydigitallife.info/how-to-access-windows-host-shared-folders-from-linux-ubuntu-guest-os-virtual-machine/ [04:03] centHogg: I'll take a look [04:03] section #4 [04:04] <[deXter]> FoxtrotZero: It's not a good idea to resize partitions which have bad sectors; a better and faster option is to backup your data to an external drive, delete all partitions on your drive and then partition around the bad region (leave plenty of room around it, atleast a 2-3 GBs) [04:04] is Clnoezilla a good way to backup an Ubuntu partition (and restore from later)? [04:04] how to do that, this is my 1st time in ubuntu, pardon my ignorance [04:04] Nautilus: yes, that's its job [04:04] subha: install open ssh server on linxiu side.. and winscp on windows side.. as i said earlier. [04:04] subha: I gave you a link! [04:04] ActionParsnip: cool, thought so, just sanity checking :) [04:04] centHOGG: I've got disk utility, not a disk admin... [04:04] or go the share route. :) [04:05] ok good use it [04:05] yes, buit do i need to share the same folder from windows? [04:05] [deXter]: doesn't the controller map pout bad sectors? SCSI controllers use to do that AFAIK [04:05] Hello. [04:05] [deXter] Yes, I understand that would be a good idea. It's also not something i'm capable of doing. I have no external drive to backup to, and i'm just too damned skiddish to delete my partitions even if I could. [04:05] How can I dim the monitor in Ubuntu? [04:05] <[deXter]> terr: Yes but if the drive is quite bad then the bad sector pool runs out [04:06] subha: you whould share the g: or folder to some share name. then accessit from ubuntu as you would any other samba share. [04:06] subha: the link I gave walks you through it step by step [04:06] [deXter]: ah! how much has he lost? [04:06] <[deXter]> terr: I don't think he's lost any data (yet), [04:07] resizing w/o a backup is a good way to lose data [04:07] [deXter]: how much space? Good his data lives [04:07] <[deXter]> FoxtrotZero: I would first suggest running your HDD manufacturer's disk diagnostics utility and do a full disk scan [04:07] Nautilus: its insane to chance it. [04:07] Hi everyone [04:07] Umm, is there a website that can help me interpret SMART readouts? I'm used to windows (Using SpeedFan to check SMART) and it usually gave me a bit more human readable output(progress bars) [04:07] [dexter] and terr, I haven't lost any data. Like I said, the bad sector problem has existed for a long time and not worsened. It wasn't even something I thought about before I was trying to resize partitions. [04:07] sure, thanks buddy, let me take a look [04:07] FoxtrotZero: I would first suggest a backup [04:08] I have the readout, but I'm not sure what the numbers mean. I also have two 'type' values listed as pre_fail [04:08] <[deXter]> FoxtrotZero: The utility will tell you if it was able to fix the bad sectors or not. If it wasn't able to, then I would suggest taking a backup ASAP and start saving up to buy a replacement drive.. (they're cheap nowadays) [04:08] FoxtrotZero: how big is the disk? Whats a replacement worth? Can you afford one? [04:08] pirate maybe smartmontools has a chart or something more than the raw numbers, IIRC [04:08] terr [dexter], I'm aware I should run diagnostics and I should run a backup. And I don't want to come across as jerkish, because I appreciate your assistance. But what i'm looking for is how to resize partitions. Acquiring a new drive is absolutely out of the question. [04:09] pirate: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T has readouts.. [04:09] FoxtrotZero: you need to have a backup plan anyways. How much data? [04:09] pirate: one of the first things I look at is Reallocated sectors. is it 0? [04:09] I can't believe I didn't check wiki, thanks. [04:09] <[deXter]> FoxtrotZero: And I say it's not wise to resize before you run diagnostics [04:09] pirate: ALWAYS check wikipedia first [04:10] bad sectors = why bother [04:10] ActionParsnip: Reallocated_Event_Count 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 0 [04:10] pirate: for standard stuff like that, wikipedia will tell you everything [04:10] terr: I don't know how much data is actually on the drive. I do have a crude but effective method of saving the files I particularly care about. So it's not like i'm in danger of losing everything. [04:10] pirate: I think the last 0 is the pertinent number there. good initial sign [04:11] [dexter], if you insist that much, i'd be perfectly willing to run a disk diagnostic. If you can explain to me how to run a disk diagnostic. [04:11] FoxtrotZero: but hey make your life easy [04:11] That's a breath of better air, was getting quite worried. [04:11] pirate: is it an SSD? [04:11] pirate: so long as 0x32 isnt the reallocated sector count [04:11] hi, i am running ubuntu 10.04 and i would like to run the existing windows XP on this desktop with virtualbox, but its asking me to install it. how could i do that ? [04:11] hi guys, can anyone help me with a specific thing? [04:11] oh, wait. so values go up to 200 it seems, but 200 is... GOOD? [04:12] pirate: is the drive an SSD? [04:12] <[deXter]> FoxtrotZero: Just go to your HDD manufacturer's website, look in the support / downloads section and look for a diagnostics utility.. usually it's a .ISO file which you can burn to a CD (or make a bootable USB out of it), boot your computer from the CD/USB and then start the scan [04:12] FoxtrotZero: if you were in Calgary I could give you a bunch of disks but they are old scsi ones. Still work and up to about 36 gb [04:12] axel-san: ask the channel and it will reply if it can [04:12] ActionParsnip: nope, regular sized internal mechanical drive [04:12] Terr, just how exactly do you suggest I back up this data? I have no external drives whatsoever, and the only internet-based solution that I know of only gives me the 2GB that i'm working with. If I had the money to put into an internet-based backup solution, I would just have better hardware. [04:12] Sebasti3n: there is a way for virtualbox to run a regular installed OS [04:12] FoxtrotZero: ubuntu one is 5gb now :) [04:13] Terr: Calgary? That's somewhere in the UK or Ireland, right? I'm quite far away from there. [04:13] dr_willis: Huh? [04:13] You'd have some swimming to get to Calgary from UK [04:13] and a buttload of walking [04:13] ActionParsnip, i upgraded the nvidia drivers as you requested, but I still get the API error. The Kernel version > driver component. API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has version 280.13. NVIDIA driver component has version 275.21 [04:13] FoxtrotZero: ya - that is an issue. I have about 160 gb on my server [04:13] hi, I want to know if anyone has trouble using scrolling in ubuntu with a touchscreen [04:13] Hey I am writting a program to fix minor issues with wireless, stuff like test firewall settings, test http access, eth0 and wlan0 status, and fix issues with said tests. But my knowledge stems from windows, and i was wondering what linux networking issues people seem to have. [04:13] FoxtrotZero: issue is that would sap a whole months' bandwidth [04:14] FoxtrotZero: backup whats critical to ubuntuone or some other dropbox type site.. and gamble on the rest staying there. [04:14] FoxtrotZero: how about your friends? [04:14] ActionParsnip, would you have any tips on something else i can try? also, could it be that my repository is not updated or something? [04:14] Sebasti3n: http://www.qc4blog.com/?p=483 [04:14] FoxtrotZero: you can get up to 10Gb free on dropbox [04:14] Sebasti3n: i've heard it can cause data corruption though [04:14] noobie25: could uninstall then reinstall the driver [04:15] ActionParsnip, how do i uninstall? also, when i reinstall ... do i use the same commands you asked me to do? [04:15] FoxtrotZero: how many gb's is your drive? [04:15] Terr: I appreciate the sentiment. My friends aren't exactly tech-savvy, trust me, none of them have solutions. Dr_willis, I'm actually working with the partitions so I can install Ubuntu: I'm still technically WinXP based, and I have an (undamaged) D drive with System Restore information in it. And SIFTU, I am using Dropbox, but you only get 2GB free: You can get more, but you have to get a... [04:15] ...bunch of referrals. [04:15] dr_willis: minus is 10Gb free [04:16] FoxtrotZero: how many gb's is your drive? I might be able to help you [04:16] noobie25: use the additional drivers app to remove them [04:16] FoxtrotZero: yeah nothing a script wont fix :) [04:16] Terr: Its a 200GB drive, but on my C:, I only have somewhere around... 40GB used? And it's really just my files I care about, which like i've said, i've managed to cram into a 2GB backup. [04:16] Thank you so much for all the helpful info and pointers, everyone! One more last novice question: Is it safe to say, browse the web while running the extended self-test or should I let the machine idle? [04:16] FoxtrotZero: I could put myu DLT on the net. It will hold 70 GB [04:17] SIFTU, i've tried things of the sort to little avail. If you're willing to help me out with that problem, i'd be grateful. [04:17] ActionParsnip, thanks you sir [04:17] Terr: DLT? What might that be? [04:17] How can I dim the monitor in Ubuntu? [04:17] ActionParsnip: i dident see where minus let you just upload anything however.. been toying with it on my android. [04:17] controls on the monitor? [04:17] Guys, do you know how I can enable scrolling in utouch?? [04:18] terr: Of course, the problem really isn't backing up. Like i've said, i'm not really concerned with data loss. [dexter] still wants me to run diagnostics, though. [04:18] FoxtrotZero: Digital Linear Tape. Its a DLT7000 - originally cost about $5,000. I use to sell them. Those were the cheap drives! Expensive ones were 3590. [04:18] FoxtrotZero: I found it in a pawn shop for $25 bux... with a tape full of tax returns. [04:18] FoxtrotZero: I think [deXter] has good advise [04:18] terr: So I could store my data on your device in Calgary. Right. [04:19] <[deXter]> FoxtrotZero: HDD diagnostics utilities can remap the bad sector to a spare sector from the sector pool; also you get a clear idea of the extent of damage. [04:19] heh [04:19] FoxtrotZero: yes. I could just turn it on and you would have to laod the files into one of my servers and I'd fire it out to the tape. IF the tape is needed I'll justoverwrite it. [04:20] Look on ebay... out of curiosity and see if you can find something like a DLT 7000 or DLT 8000. [04:20] spending money on obsolete tech\ [04:20] They are pretty good. I like tape because we're still reading tape recorded in the1960's. [04:20] terr: [deXter] has great advice. I just didn't want to follow it. But i'm going to close out of this ubuntu trial - i'm running it off of a 700MB CDR - and go look up that diagnostics stuff. Once i'm back in WinXP I can get back in IRC. [04:20] FoxtrotZero: I've done a lot in the geophysics area. [04:21] Terr: I can't legally do that. I'm a minor. An unemployed and poorly financed minor. Which, I assure you, is the only reason I don't have a much better rig than this piece of crap. [04:21] BRB [04:21] FoxtrotZero: no worries [04:21] I dunno, obsolete tech that gets me more than a TB for ~30USD or less isn't too bad for backups. Seek times are, though. [04:21] hey, folks, i got such message, saying "httpd: command not found", after getting apache2 installed within ubuntu 10.04. so, what then??:-( [04:21] Foxmaster: in Canda a minor can buy anything they want. Its the merchant who can't stick the minor with the contract [04:22] Personally I wish I had a tape drive =P Initial investment was too much the last time I looked into it. [04:22] pirate: I'll sel you one. But I'm in Calgary [04:22] i tried tape drive ages ago.. :) redundant stack of exteral usb hard drives.. does what i need. [04:22] pirate: I have about 100 exabytes too. [04:22] lol! [04:22] terr did you ever look at that code ? [04:23] Might take you up on that once I get a paycheck. [04:23] dr_willis: much better idea too - except in 10 years you won't find a machine you can plug it into [04:23] goodnerd: remind me please. No - I misssed it [04:24] dr_willis: I have been able to read in Linux exabyte tapes recorded on a SUN in the 1980's. [04:24] Course I've got the drives. [04:24] Is Wine any better at running Windows programs on Ubuntu these days? [04:24] terr: http://paste.ubuntu.com/692053/ [04:24] RudyValencia: most likely [04:25] are windows programs getting easier for wine to run? probably not [04:25] I'm thinking I might try it [04:25] dr_willis: these days we don't even know how to backup the big disc system... I mean my buddy Carmine has likely 100 TB installed... maybe 1000 TB. [04:26] RudyValencia: you can forget running any game that requires >dx9.0a [04:26] terr: That's it? [04:26] Does City of Heroes run? [04:26] goodnerd: your lookup in insane. [04:26] terr: snapshots & replication of the deltas [04:26] SIFTU: ?? [04:26] ActionParsnip: ?? [04:26] terr: dude, we sling backups of 500Tb an HOUR betwen our 2 main DCs [04:27] Hm, I probably oughta wait until 11.10 comes out. [04:27] terr: do you see how to do a bof on that ? [04:27] i'm trying to get it to where there is no commison [04:27] ActionParsnip: I'd like to know how. [04:27] generalization: any game that can flip between dx and opengl will work ok [04:27] ah [04:27] terr: multiple leased lines [04:27] Thanks again everyone~ [04:27] RudyValencia: WoW is one such example (horrible game, but it runs well on wine) [04:27] ActionParsnip: I'm serious. Carmine runs a geophysical shop and he just hauls out the old drives and sticks them on a shelf. [04:27] <[deXter]> Horrible game? O.o [04:28] I think City of Heroes uses OpenGL [04:28] terr: makes sense, I like it. Old and grity [04:28] If I don't install nVidia drivers it says something about "GL_ARB_MULTITEXTURE" being unsupported IIRC [04:28] ActionParsnip: backup isn't really the problem. Getting the data into the HDD"s is the problem. [04:28] terr: oh god yes [04:28] ActionParsnip: I don't think he runs fiber at this time [04:29] RudyValencia: it being ported to OSX seems that that might more than likely be the case; however portal (and other games on that same engine) are a great counter-example [04:29] terr: than all the alerts for excessive IO and we all sit there thinking "yes, We know" [04:29] RudyValencia: where you aren't allowed to select opengl rendering on windows [04:29] ah [04:29] ActionParsnip: that data comes off old tapes... 9 track, 3480, 3490 mostly... some 3590 [04:29] ada yg indonesia disini? [04:29] terr: ahh, this is all disk to disk over optical fibre [04:29] ActionParsnip: he jsut installed a 128 cpu system [04:30] ActionParsnip: I gathered that. [04:30] !id | ArNezT [04:30] ArNezT: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [04:30] hi, i'm having some trouble with my laptop screen backlight brightness settings. I have a thinkpad w510, and when I hit the keyboard keys to change brightness (Fn + Home/End) it shows a brightness bar OSD, but the actual screen brightness is not affected [04:31] terr: most places do it at the SAN/NAS level.. you take a snapshot (online) of the filesystem the difference is transferred from the last snapshot. [04:31] ubottu, makasih bro.. [04:31] any ideas what I can do? [04:31] ActionParsnip: I had to laugh.. their 128 cpu box was too loud. So they went to Home Depot and bought a garden sehd. Then they had to insulate it. Then they had to go buy an A/C for their shed - which is in the office! [04:31] SIFTU: in this case they already have copies of the data before its loaded into the HDD's... it just takes so long to read the data in. [04:32] SIFTU: like on a 3490 they might have a pallet of tapes. [04:32] goodnerd are you here? [04:33] terr: yeah but a backup which takes months to restore isnt a good backup IMHO [04:34] hi, folks around here...why can't i get a hand for the question i asked before this, which is "can't run 'httpd' from the terminal after getting apache2 installed within ubuntu 10.04"??? :( [04:34] SIFTU: their "backup" is what they read the data from. [04:35] jumoit: sudo service apache2 start [04:35] terr: so how long does it take to restore if the disk system goes down? [04:36] SIFTU: I don't know. It doesn't happen very often and they just reload it as if it ahd never been loaded b4 [04:37] SIFTU: I suspec tthey have more than 120,000 tapes loaded. We have warehouses with 60,000 tapes. [04:37] SIFTU: I can ask but they likely won't even know. [04:37] llutz_, thanks for your helps.still not run "httpd -S" from the terminal after restart apache2 like you said.... [04:37] terr: ok, just sounded like it took a long time.. which means they cant use that data until its restored.. which sounds like it could takes months [04:38] SIFTU: well these are mnultiple jobs. [04:38] jumoit: you don't start httpd directly [04:38] SIFTU: I know when the 9GB's first came out and were $5,000 each I use to sell all I could lay my hot hands on. [04:39] llutz_, yeah, got it. but, what should i do to run "httpd" redirectly?? [04:40] SIFTU: if there is a way to copy the data from a modren disk to some other storage media then we're real insterested./.. but I don't think there is anything at this time. [04:40] jumoit: sudo service apache2 start/stop/restart/status change options in /etc/default or /etc/apache2/* [04:40] SIFTU: you would have to know how to read seg-d to do it [04:41] terr: its getting off topic.. PM me if you wish to discuss [04:41] SIFTU: some of that data is in IBM360 FLOAT notation and you would have to swap it to IEEE. Some of it is in Digital Equipment FLOAT too. [04:42] llutz_, yeah, yeah, i see. and then, i will try...thanks a lot. :) [04:42] SIFTU: lets get on to things which are productive. [04:42] too bad goodnerd isn't here.

[04:45] <[deXter]> FoxtrotZero: Just burn the ISO to a disc [04:45] ISO [04:45] Arrite. [04:45] FoxtrotZero: well after I found a CD which worked and after I finally gave up on the idea of using an FDD then I find the CPU doesn't have an instruction which the kernel needs. [04:46] FoxtrotZero: so now I have to clean out my garage and find out what CPU's I have out there. [04:46] terr: >Garage full of computer hardware === sonic_ is now known as Guest43349 [04:46] terr, I would kill to be you right now. [04:46] whyis my ubuntu taking some time to show the login screen after it has loaded the gui screen [04:46] it wasn't like this before [04:46] And more importantly, terr, why would you have me do that? [04:47] FoxtrotZero: meanwhile I have what appears to be two dead CD's and of course just the same as people keep dead pens in the same pen pen and live pens then I'll put these back on the shelf and hope they heal each other. [04:47] Has the latest stable release of Ubuntu fixed any or all problems related to the SATA hard/SSD drives in both the capacity & the peripherals?! [04:47] Terr, I can only hope you label your CDs... [04:48] FoxtrotZero: hey if you want to go to school here then pop over. I can set you up with a room.. but I would have to charge some rent. [04:48] FoxtrotZero: do you think I'm that smart? I remember the position on the shelf. [04:48] Terr: Hah, thanks, but that's not liable to happen, I assure you.

I use it daily on many computers [05:00] remoting in is the best option i just want to do it the most effectively [05:01] deXter: I see... I'll give it a try when I can! Thanks! [05:01] Just in case anyone was curious, what I was asking about was PLoP Boot Manager. [05:02] Barridus: vnc is ok over LAN [05:02] How do I connect to a IRC network not found in the xchat network list?

[05:09] amazing hard drives work as well as they do. :) [05:09] did you even hear it spin up? [05:09] lawrence: what hardware? [05:10] yeah [05:10] I can feel it vibrating too [05:10] lightly [05:10] no real noise though [05:10] AMD Athlon 64Bit 3000+ [05:10] SIFTU: AMD Athlon 64Bit 3000+ [05:10] lawrence: hmm ok.. have you run memtest on it? [05:11] "Partition: Read error" like it can't even find the partitions [05:11] odd..... [05:11] SIFTU: Sorry no. I'm new, and don't know how to run a memtest [05:12] lawrence: the live cd has an option when you boot [05:12] I'm having problems booting into ubuntu. It seems to install okay, but I can't start it up after that. [05:13] SIFTU: I installed Ubuntu via USB [05:13] GoStumpy: what is the odd ~ run a full SMART test and see ~ [05:14] any steves left? [05:14] lawrence: well you can install it and add it to grub === TheDreamer is now known as Youri === supersteven is now known as super-steve [05:16] SIFTU: I'm sorry, but if I understood you correctly, I need to install memtest app? - This is my first time with Ubuntu [05:16] I wonder if a place like London Drugs can rescue a HDD like this? [05:17] lol [05:17] lawrence: yeah well it will do a memory diagnostics.. trying to find a doc for you.. the easiest way is the live CD [05:18] Thank You SIFTU [05:19] I just installed ubuntu on a new computer, but when I restarted it after the installation finished it booted into windows. Why does it not take me to the grub bootloader? [05:19] I removed mistakenly removed part of the Me Menu, the part that shows your user name and your chat status. How do I re-enable that? I've looked everywhere in the Add to Panel menu but I just can't find it. [05:19] lawrence: Typically you can run the memtest from the live session overnight and see what it reports. It will automatically keep running the same test and keep all of the results [05:20] For 3 days I have been trying to install a Linux distro. I started with Ubuntu and tried 4 others based on Ubuntu and was only successful with openSUSE. I still want to install Ubuntu but I continually get an error after the partition selection that the swap partition fales to mount. I've tried 2 different drives and both using my own partition setup and a full disk setup and still [05:20] nothing. Any suggestions? === super-steve is now known as meep-steve [05:20] rocknblogger: Using the same cd drive for all attempts? [05:20] soreau yes [05:21] soreau I've checked the drive and tested okay [05:21] rocknblogger: Did you run a memory test to check your system ram? [05:21] rocknblogger: What is the exact error message Ubuntu gives you and when (during install, first boot after install...)? [05:22] soreau Yes I've checked all my hardware. That was the first step I took in trying to troubleshoot [05:22] rocknblogger: Hopefully it isn't bad sector(s) on your hard drive [05:23] Jordan_U The attempt to mount a file system with type swap in SCSI (0,1,0) partition#5 (sda) at none failed. [05:23] rocknblogger: suse might choose different location for swap [05:24] soreau Yes I understand that but when choosing to install using teh entire disk doesn't the installer automatically create the partitions [05:25] soreau I ALREADY TRIED TWO DIFFERENT DRIVES AND RUN A DISK UTILITY TO CHECK THE DRIVES, EVERYTHING CAME UP ROSES [05:25] Sorry about the caps [05:25] rocknblogger: Yes but ubuntu variants may end up selecting the same sector(s) for swap while suse may just happen to use good sectors. Just a guess but an error like that I would suspect hardware problem(s) [05:26] Jordan_U: What say you? ;) [05:26] soreau what are the odds the same sectors are bad on 2 different drives? [05:26] rocknblogger: not likely [05:26] Iit seems that every ubuntu based distro fails [05:27] rocknblogger: I assume by '2 different drives', you mean hard drives, not cd rom drives [05:27] Correct [05:27] rocknblogger: In that case, I'd try a different cdrom drive or usb if available [05:28] kkk [05:28] hello [05:28] hi king-egg.. [05:28] aha [05:28] soreau Okay [05:28] thanks for the vnc suggestion ActionParsnip [05:29] where are you come form [05:30] rocknblogger: Of course by usb, I mean boot from a usb stick instead of a cdrom drive (provided you have a usb drive with enough space and your bios can boot from usb) [05:30] soreau Yes I got that :) [05:30] I am a chenese boy [05:30] ! usb | rocknblogger [05:30] rocknblogger: 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 [05:30] ! cn | king-egg [05:30] king-egg: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [05:30] soreau Thnx [05:30] rocknblogger: np, gl [05:32] I'm ET.

WHat would a kernel panic point to? [05:44] rocknblogger: Looks like it might be your intel graphics.. [05:44] DOnt have intel graphics [05:44] what's UFW? [05:44] !firewall [05:44] Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist.

[05:52] firefox is very powerful [05:52] Jordan_U, Yes I am able to see the grub menu, I am even able to see the windows loading screen but it hangs after that [05:53] Jordan_U, I tried 11.4 but its too buggy [05:53] learner: If you're able to see the Windows loading screen then it's not really an Ubuntu problem. Try asking in ##windows. [05:54] bye bye .see late [05:54] hey, is there something currently wrong with the ubuntu sofware center? [05:54] Jordan_U, I got this problem only after installling ubuntu [05:57] learner: I would recommend using Ubuntu's "Disk Utility" (palimpsest) to check the S.M.A.R.T status of the drive and if that shows that the drive itself is good then anything else you would do to repair Windows would need to be done in a Windows environment and with help from ##windows. [05:58] how do I install ubuntu on a 3TB drive? [05:58] synackfin: Just run the installer as you normally would. [05:58] same as you would any other drive. You most likely want a / of like 20 gb and most in /home/ [05:58] Jordan_U, Thanks [05:58] learner: You're welcome. [05:59] Jordan_U: aren't special steps required for disks > 2TB? [05:59] synackfin: not that i have ever heard of.. jus try it and see? [05:59] synackfin: No, it's all handled automatically. [05:59] don't forget /boot at least 1GB! [06:00] Jordan_U: and won't I need more special steps for raid+lvm2 ? [06:00] 1GB /boot? april 1st today? [06:00] LOL ! [06:00] i had a 5gb /boot/ but i had iso files there that grub2 booted for me. :) [06:00] !lvm [06:00] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [06:00] synackfin: Behind the scenes a gpt label will be used rather than an msdos label and a BIOS boot partition created, but that is all handled automatically. [06:01] synackfin: For RAID and LVM you'll need to use the alternate install CD (as explained in the links from ubottu). [06:02] Jordan_U: is that true of the 11.04 installer? [06:02] Jordan_U: or only the 11.10 beta? [06:02] synackfin: It is true of the 11.04 installer. [06:02] What's the best place to put cronjobs? [06:03] min|dvir|us: users crontab or /etc/cron.d [06:03] Q: How do I fix my screen output ? PC -> TV screen (HDMI) and it's all off the edge of the screen [06:03] llutz_: is the default configuration suitable for user cronjobs? [06:03] min|dvir|us: use gnome-schedule (if you have a desktop UI). To cron as root run: gksudo gnome-schedule [06:03] min|dvir|us: should be [06:05] soreau That was it!! SUccess. WHat a monumental waste of 3 days [06:10] I'm trying to figure out why my upstart script doesn't run in context, the command seems to work fine when I just run it from shell, I can't seem to get any verbose output from it either [06:11] is there a way i can prevent data being written to the MBR ? from say, a windows installation ? [06:11] chaospsychex: No. [06:12] Yes, just don't install windows! [06:12] there has to be a way to prevent write access to the mbr? could i write a program to do it? [06:13] chaospsychex: No, whatever program you would write would not be running during the Windows install. You can't set only part of a drive read only in hardware. It's not very difficult to restore grub after installing Windows though. [06:13] chaospsychex: no, any OS that runs has access to the MBR, the only possible way would be to re-write your BIOS to deny write access, but I'm not aware of that ever being done [06:14] is there open-source BIOS's ? [06:14] i hate my bios anyway [06:15] how to get unionfs w/o restart the machine [06:16] i tried to move var/cache in unionfs [06:17] whats the command to see what motherboard my comp has? [06:18] install hardinfo.... it tell you all! [06:19] chaospsychex: there is a linux you can put in your BIOS, not sure how active it is or if it stiff exists [06:19] chaospsychex: dmidecode will tell you a lot [06:19] oh yeah, embedded linux is thriving [06:20] not seen that 'linux on the motherboard' feature mention in a while. Seen a few laptop with it a year+ ago. but not recently [06:20] coreboot is an option, i am trying to see if it supports my motherboard though, trying to find out what mobo i have [06:22] well i used now aufs instead of unionfs [06:22] has anyone filed a feature request for auto-muting apps on workspace 1 when switching to workspace 2? [06:23] it would make an awesome 'how we made gnome better' ad [06:24] Anyone know why this init script might fail? "exec sudo -u ec2-user /usr/local/bin/node /home/ec2-user/myapp/application/api/app.js 2>&1 >> /home/ec2-user/myapp/log/api.log", I don't get any output (even with start -v) and the logfile stays empty. [06:26] why is ubuntu only using 1668mb of my 4gb ram? [06:27] awesomeness [06:27] chaospsychex: pastebin output from "free" [06:27] ok one sec [06:27] why are you expecting it to slurp down all the ram? :) [06:28] is goodnerd here?

[06:32] chaospsychex: uname -a says amd64 or x86 [06:33] it says x86_64, does that mean i am running 32bit? [06:33] chaospsychex: no. [06:33] chaospsychex: x86_64 means 64bit. [06:34] hm, guess they changed it from amd64 to x86_64 [06:34] im on 10.10 [06:34] hi. when i start my computer a few of my keys are sticking and some are not working at all after start up and up to ten minutes , atm my delete key wont delete and my hhh key does that. Anyone have an idea of the issue? using ubuntu 10.10 [06:36] widewake: watering on the keyboard can do that [06:37] wildbat, i ave a feeling its not from physical damage , after after some time it returns to normal [06:38] widewake: have you tried a different keyboard? [06:38] soreau, using a laptop [06:38] widewake: checked the keyboard settings? [06:39] widewake: tried a different OS? [06:40] soreau, usin only linux, te problem did not occur till about a monthh ago [06:40] soreau, very odd [06:42] anyone here [06:42] Hi all what is a good command to check what wireless driver you are currently using [06:42] ? [06:43] computer_: pci-device? "lspci -vv" === etech is now known as number19 [06:44] lspci should do the trick [06:44] lspci just shows the chip not the driver [06:45] computer_: -vv tells you [06:45] llutz, yes it does [06:45] But it tells you about everything [06:47] There was a really cool way with the aircrack-ng suite but for the live of me I can not recall it or find it in search engine land [06:47] computer_: man lspci ( -s xx:yy) to get what you want [06:48] Thanks llutz === ServerTech|Alt is now known as ServerTechLaptop === ServerTech|Alt is now known as ServerTech|Lapto === ServerTech|Lapto is now known as ServerTechLaptop [06:59] i just installed qemu? where is it? [07:00] chaospsychex: "which qemu" [07:00] chaospsychex: /usr/bin/qemu most likely [07:00] i did sudo apt-get install qemu [07:00] chaospsychex: "which qemu" is a command [07:05] chaospsychex, u can find it from Ubuntu Software Centre [07:05] how do i know if my wireless gamepad works? === xqix9u2v is now known as lmnop [07:06] hiya ... I get a broken package error when I try to install this package: 'libavahi-qt4-dev'. But I don't have any broken packages on my system (at least according to synaptic), so what could the problem be? [07:08] how to setup wireless ad-hoc network from command line i`ve tried many ways with no success so it will helpful for me if u just tell me how the network-manager do it [07:09] hi. when i start my computer a few of my keys are sticking and some are not working at all after start up and up to ten minutes , atm my delete key wont delete and my hhh key does that. Anyone have an idea of the issue? using ubuntu 10.10 [07:09] canurabus, look at the dependencies it seems depend on libqt4-dev and libavahi-common-dev [07:09] ArNezT: thanks for the reply. I have those packages successfully installed [07:11] ArNezT: I think it's a pkg version mismatch, but your suggestion helped me look in the right place, ty :) [07:12] ajah: i belive not all wirless cards in linux can do ad-hoc - ive never had it working the few times ive tried. [07:13] widewake: if the h key is deleting characters. it sounds like the ctrl- key may be stuck I think ctrl-h or ctrl-j are normally remaped to delete [07:14] ajah, can you go to the network manager from taskbar or from System | Preference | Network Connection ->tab Wireless |add| mode|ad-hoc [07:14] hi2all [07:16] hi. Is there any software that allows me to share files over lan between two ubuntu computers? [07:18] zombausa, maybe install samba or from menu Places | Connect to Server [07:19] Does anyone know how I can get my ubuntu box to stop loading the Boot Menu ("Select a Boot First device") whenever I restart it? [07:19] There are from Russia anyone? [07:20] krunkosaurus: which boot menu is that [07:20] I ll try that ArNezT [07:21] Ben64: I think it's part of my Foxconn motherboard, but I think most bootup menus are the same? I've checked every option in the bios settings. [07:21] krunkosaurus, try to cover from System | Administration | Startup-Manager, if not exist try to install it [07:21] well if its your bios, thats not really an ubuntu problem [07:21] !ru | debasher [07:21] debasher: Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. [07:22] Ben64: I suppose not, just seeing if anyone knows the issue [07:22] it'd be in a boot menu [07:22] almost every bios is different though, without seeing i wouldn't be sure [07:24] Ben64: I did specify "hard disk" in the bootup sequence and disabled every other option. I haven't built a machine in years, I remember having to change the bit on the actual harddrives to set them to master or slave back in the day [07:24] but they don' t seem to have them now [07:24] should have to select which hard drive in the menu [07:26] all my new machines use some F key as a way to get to a 'pick the hd to boot' menu [07:28] What's all the basic compilers I should install [07:28] gcc [07:28] Angelous: build-essential should be enough. [07:29] wut is this? [07:29] Get:1 http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates/main linux-libc-dev amd64 2.6.32-35squeeze2 [845 kB] [07:29] Media change: please insert the disc labeled [07:29] 'Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.1a _Squeeze_ - Official amd64 CD Binary-1 20110322-16:05' [07:29] in the drive '/media/cdrom/' and press enter [07:29] Angelous: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:29] OH, sorry [07:30] Angelous: Looks like you're running Debian. This is the Ubuntu channel. [07:31] Angelous: please use #debian for Debian technical support [07:31] Yeah, no one is active in #debian, though [07:31] I'm sure someone knows here [07:31] Angelous: Just a sec... [07:31] Angelous: edit /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the line with cdrom [07:32] Angelous: or comment it out [07:32] if ubuntu u have to comment the source-list from cdrom maybe [07:33] i don't know much 'bot debian [07:33] #ubuntu-ru [07:36] hi im new to ubuntu [07:36] how to know the ftp username/password for lamp [07:36] what do you mean [07:37] danishbacker: LAMP is Linux Apache MySQL PHP. There is no FTP server involved in that acronym. [07:37] i just recently switched from windows to ubuntu [07:37] i was deleting a plugin in wordpress [07:38] then it is asking for ftp username and password [07:38] how to do it ? [07:38] danishbacker: Most FTP servers will allow you to log in with your username and password for the system. [07:38] @rww, :) yes, sorry [07:39] @cheapie, how to check if i have a ftp server installed ? [07:39] danishbacker: dpkg -l *ftp* |grep ^i [07:39] does ubuntu use hypervisor ? [07:39] in my phpinfo it says ftp support enabled [07:46] chaospsychex: What do you mean? [07:46] danishbacker, try to type: ftp from console [07:47] or client program such proftp [07:47] i am trying to figure out what hypervisor is and how it's implemented? is hardware based or kernel based? [07:47] default without ftp using ssh2 port [07:47] chaospsychex: A hypervisor emulates a computer within software. [07:47] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervisor [07:47] Hello in here. We have a problem with Google Earth. We have downloaded that on to Ubuntu 11.04 but the text is not wery easy to read. [07:48] so qemu is a hypervisor ? [07:48] chaospsychex: QEMU is a type 2 hypervisor, meaning it runs within an OS. [07:49] what is a type 1? [07:49] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_platform_virtual_machines [07:49] chaospsychex: A type 1 hypervisor runs by itself (not within an OS). [07:49] By the way it's in 32 bit [07:50] mikigirl: perhaps you need to install the ms fonts, or some other fonts. [07:51] !fonts [07:51] Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". For the official ubuntu font, see: http://font.ubuntu.com/ [07:52] hi [07:52] !netbeans [07:52] ubuntu resets my screen resolution every time [07:52] how do i make it not change itt [07:53] Whats the best way to get my ubuntu to always load headless [07:54] krunkosaurus: Either remove any display managers from the boot sequence, or append "text" to the kernel line [07:54] newerthhero, try set manually from xorg.conf [07:54] ArNezT: how ? [07:55] krunkosaurus: you mean boot to the console? [07:55] theadmin: Thanks, how do I go about appending text to the kernel line? [07:55] krunkosaurus: edit /etc/default/grub and see grub2 docs. [07:55] krunkosaurus: Provided that you're using GRUB, anyway. [07:56] dr_willis: cheapie: I'm using grub thanks [07:56] !grub2 [07:56] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [07:56] newerthhero, see at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1192754 [07:56] samba transfers are very slow over wifi Lan. how do I improve the speed? [07:56] well i'm using the newest ubuntu, so prob Grub2 === rajesh is now known as Guest85665 [08:00] dr_willis: yes I just want it to boot to console always [08:00] zombausa, try from ssh/console [08:00] krunkosaurus: Is this regular Ubuntu, or Kubuntu? [08:01] cheapie: reg ubuntu [08:02] krunkosaurus: Boot into recovery mode, and run "apt-get remove gdm gdm3" [08:02] i heard changing the runlevel to 3 on etc/inittab was a way to get ubuntu to load just command line everytime [08:02] krunkosaurus: Runlevels are no longer supported [08:02] krunkosaurus: in those day pre-upstart [08:02] oh [08:03] cheapie: theadmin: thanks [08:03] ArNezT, ssh says connection refused [08:04] ssh port default 22 if you don't modify [08:04] wifi is slow often times, and i don't think ubuntu comes with openssh server by default [08:06] ArNezT, its on port 22 [08:06] but it still says connection refused [08:06] zombausa: firewalled or just no sshd listening [08:08] port 22 should be open llutz_ [08:08] not listening [08:09] zombausa: "sudo lsof -i :22" [08:11] zombausa, check /etc/ssh/ssh_config [08:12] krunkosaurus: you just need to edit the /etc/default/grub file and replace 'quiet splash' with text and rerun update-grub [08:12] krunkosaurus: no need to remove anything === ServerTech|Lapto is now known as ServerTechLaptop [08:14] dr_willis: thanks will try now! [08:15] dr_willis: We have no [08:17] We have now downloaded fonts from the second link you gave us and installed Google Earth again. It still says we need to reinstall G.E. And when we go in the text is still wrong. [08:17] dr_willis: That worked great thanks. I'm trying to build a low powered headless linux box for a Burning Man project === dev_ is now known as brokencodes [08:18] opo [08:19] 'it still says...' what still says that? [08:19] hello [08:19] hi [08:20] Ubunto Softwarecenter. It should have said installet. [08:20] What is Ubunto? [08:20] Don't you mean Ubuntu? [08:20] Sof center [08:21] how did you install google earth in the frst place mikigirl ? [08:22] thats easy [08:22] From the internet page, and then on Ubuntu 32 bit [08:23] and the file name was what exactly? [08:23] @cheapie, thanks it worked :D [08:23] goto http://www.google.com/earth/download/ge/agree.html, select your distro / OS, and hit Download button :) [08:23] 'from the internet page' tells us very little. :) [08:23] I think google has repos with google earth and other of their apps in it. [08:23] !googleearth [08:23] Google Earth is available as the package "googleearth-package" in !Multiverse. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GoogleEarth [08:23] hmm - seems to be in the multiverse repo now. [08:24] !info googleearth-package [08:24] googleearth-package (source: googleearth-package): utility to automatically build a Debian package of Google Earth. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 0.6.1 (natty), package size 9 kB, installed size 68 kB [08:24] I'm in the multiverse repo, too! [08:24] sudo apt-get install googleearth-package should install google earth. [08:25] Here's were we found it: http://www.google.com/earth/download/ge/agree.html And this is the file we downloadet: https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/direct/google-earth-stable_current_i386.deb [08:25] not sur ? [08:25] mikigirl: i suggest using the one in the repos. [08:26] hi, i ran rsync on a large archive but forgot to add -A to preserve acl, is there a way i can 'copy over' the acl's afterwards? [08:26] Okay we will remove the one we have installet and try the thing you sais [08:26] to install google earth : open synaptin and make google earth easy [08:27] dr_willis, considering there is no sourcecode for google earth, it would be assumed that the version in the multiverse repo, and the one on the http://www.google.com/earth/download/ge/agree.html page, are one and the same... [08:27] brokencodes: the packagte description says 'utility to automatically build a Debian package ' it Might do some tweaks or other changes. [08:27] or pull in other needed files. [08:27] ive only used the repo method/one and never had any font issues. [08:28] the method behind dpkg, is to always bring in dependencies, so I still fail to see the difference... [08:28] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GoogleEarth [08:28] may have some tips also. [08:28] try both ways and see i guess.. if its in the repos. i suggest using the repos. [08:29] Umm, the first recommended installation method is "Installing the .deb file downloaded from the Google Earth Website" as quoted from your link [08:29] What's that effect (not sure if it's Compiz or not) where you hover your mouse over a window and it fades all others? [08:30] Starminn: that would be a compiz plugin. transparancy i think. [08:30] i would asume the one in the repo, is a mirror of the one from the Google Earth website, but I am just Brokencodes, ARM Smasher extraordinaire... [08:32] dr_willis: I can't find where to turn it off. [08:33] Starminn: you could ask in #compiz - i dont have the plugins memorised. :) [08:33] dr_willis: :) Alright then, sounds fair enough [08:33] WHow is the 'machine hardware name' defined that the command '~$ uname -m' outputs? [08:33] or just start disabling one by one. :) [08:33] _W [08:34] dr_willis: That has been my technique and I've not had any luck. It's driving me crazy now lol === james is now known as JameZ7 [08:34] Transparency on focus change [08:35] Ooo, I found it! [08:35] I somehow missed this one. I don't know how, but I missed it. It's "Opacify" [08:35] hi [08:35] fancy term for transparentcy :) [08:36] I have a problem with installing xubuntu 11.4 [08:36] 11.04* [08:36] dr_willis: I kept looking in "Opacity, Brightness and Saturation" because of the word "Opacity." Never once did I even think to look what "Opacify" was up to. [08:36] lol. ah well! Anyway, thank you guys [08:37] oh, that's ok :) === vibhav is now known as Guest55572 === b_ is now known as Guest87162 [08:45] How is the 'machine hardware name' defined that the command '~$ uname -m' outputs? [08:45] i would guess it comes from the kernel [08:46] but i just have the one linux box to test :) [08:47] info coreutils 'uname invocation' [08:47] seems to give more detailed info then the man pages [08:49] I must say we are lost in this issue. Now we have downloaded from Ubuntu Softwarecenter but there are still issues about the text. [08:50] mikigirl: take a screen shot. check the forums and askubuntu.com to see if others have issues. [08:50] ive never heard anyone else in here mention font issues with google earth. [08:50] Hello, I am using cat & grep to match lines from text file, now I would like to parse each line by \t (tabs) can someone tell me how I can do that ? [08:51] shai27: you mean you want 'fooo bar fiddle' to be 3 lines? [08:51] And how the heck do i do that? [08:51] shai27: grep -P '\t' (grep hardly needs cat) [08:51] print screen key can take a screen shot. [08:52] !screenshot [08:52] Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it. [08:52] is ubuntu software center down? [08:53] g3rdi: you are like the 3rd person to ask that today. :) i wonder if some of the servers are down. or being updated.. [08:53] ah man .. hope they updating [08:54] I'm not good enough to do these kinds of command [08:54] I thought i might have destroyed it somehow [08:54] g3rdi: they seem to be working here.. but it may just be the server you are connecting to. [08:54] dr_willis: This returns the additional information: "sometimes called the hardware class or hardware type" and does not give a definition. [08:54] either [08:55] bullgard4: you always ask the most obscure questions. :) dare i ask why it matters? :) [08:55] mikigirl: It's not a command, it's a key on your keyboard. [08:55] bullgard4: i would guess its ix86 for intel, and arm or ppc for other type cpus. [08:56] bullgard4: but i have no other hardware to even test it on. [08:56] wonder if its on my android phone.. [08:56] arm is down === vibhav_ is now known as vibhav [08:56] Yeah but were schould i do with it. It doesn't tells me it copyed the dokument, or where to put the sreenshot afterwords [08:56] natty and mverick are down, on arm [08:57] mikigirl, are you on a laptop? [08:57] yes i am [08:57] do you have a FN key on the lower left of the keyboard? [08:58] mikigirl, do you have a FN key on the lower left of the keyboard? [08:58] bullgard4: it says armv71 on my phone. :) nifty [08:58] nope the key is Home/Prt Sc: [08:58] gimp can take screen shots.. as can other apps as well [08:58] listen tomy queston, please mikigirl [08:58] oh now i found the FN key [08:58] do you have a key labeled FN in the lower left portion of your keyboard, mikigirl? [08:59] ok [08:59] hold FN, and hit PRTSCN [08:59] on my laptop the fn key text is in 'blue' and some keys have blue text that are the special feature used when hitting fn+thatkey [08:59] good morning :) my ubuntu sometimes crashes and it shows a black screen. i took a picture of the monitor. can you help me to understand the reason why it crashes? http://imageshack.us/f/27/sam1177i.jpg/ [09:00] dr_willis, you have an HP eh? [09:00] brokencodes: toshiba actually. [09:00] nuice [09:00] and a hp.. and a... :) [09:00] brokencodes: Why is that? I have a Samsung and for me the fn keys are blue too [09:00] C series? [09:00] okay i try that in the Google Earth: But where should i put the printed screen? [09:00] I work with HP's all day, its all the company I work for buys, they all have blue FN keys [09:01] !screenshot [09:01] mikigirl, somewhere you can find it, home folder would work [09:01] mikigirl: Save it as an image and put it on some imagesharing site, e.g. http://imm.io [09:01] dr_willis: My apologies. Precision is at the beginning of all (computer) science. [09:02] no one can help me? [09:02] aldos if its showing a black screen.. you took a picture of a black screen? [09:03] black screen with something written on it [09:03] aldos: There appears "panic occurred". This is a severe computer software error. [09:03] aldos, seems you have laptop utilities installed, remove them [09:03] which utilities? [09:04] laptop-mode-tools [09:05] are you using kda, aldos? [09:05] aldos: You have taken this screenshot too late in time so that I personally cannot say what in particular caused the kernel panic. [09:05] are you using kde, aldos? (typo from before) [09:05] no. unity [09:06] please check that you dont have laptop-mode-tools installed [09:07] laptop-mode-tools isn't installed. laptop-detect is installed [09:07] ok aldos [09:07] now i have it on the http:// page you said [09:08] what is the temperature in the room, where this machine is being used [09:08] ? [09:08] mikigirl, we need the link it gave back to you [09:08] brokencodecs, 26 °C [09:08] This is the one http://imm.io/9iQJ [09:09] 79 degrees is not that hot [09:10] aldos, are you using X64 or i386 version of ubuntu? [09:10] brokencodes, x64 [09:11] how much ram have you installed on that HP? [09:11] mikigirl: interesting - seems to be using a monospaced font. [09:12] no [09:12] its a unicode issue [09:12] brokencodes, 4GB [09:12] mikigirl: as a test. you could try making a new user, and see if the newly made user has a simile rissue [09:12] Mikigirl, what country are you from? [09:12] dr_willis: It's not shown the way it used to stand [09:12] I accidentally put a grub boot loader on another drive. How do I remove it? [09:12] SchalaZeal: with very very carefull use of the dd command. [09:12] brokencodes: We're from Denmark. And you? [09:13] USA here, [09:13] is there an instructional page on it? [09:13] dr_willis: A new user on where [09:13] mikigirl: on your ubuntu system [09:13] 'sudo adduser billgates' :) or similer. [09:13] brokencodes: where in the states? [09:14] Florida [09:14] then see if the problem exists for all users.. if NOT - then its a user setting issue.. if it does affect all users. wellits some system setting/font issue [09:14] Is there a help page on the wiki about removing the boot loader? [09:14] you don't need to remove it, you can just put it on the correct drive [09:14] Anyone good with qemu? [09:14] Hey folks, this is my first day with qemu, and I'm having a hell of a time. I can't get qemu loader to load. So i'm trying with the command line, and I dont know how to tell it to set an sd card as a boot disk [09:14] oh [09:15] mikigirl: you did logout after installing the ms fonts? [09:15] Well, I accidentally put it on my Windows drive, and reran the installer and specified it on my Linux drive instead [09:15] mikigirl: first hit i got when googled for 'ubuntu google earth fonts' --> http://ubuntuguide.net/install-google-earth-and-fix-ugly-fonts-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty [09:15] SchalaZeal: should be good then, does it boot right? [09:15] mikigirl, look at this page, please [09:16] http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/earth/thread?tid=656ef9a98bc427dd&hl=en [09:16] I'll check... [09:16] one second [09:16] dr_willis: logout from where? [09:16] mikigirl: from the system... [09:16] yep [09:16] log out the user.. back to the gdm screen. [09:16] mikigirl, do sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer in a terminal [09:16] brokencodes: i'm looking on that page now [09:17] dr_willis: no i didn't [09:17] mikigirl, do sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer in a terminal [09:17] then restart your system [09:17] mikigirl: time to log out then.. and see.. after running that command above [09:18] brokencodes: i am not good on the terminal settings. that's a place i really don't wanna go [09:18] ok [09:18] open synaptic [09:18] and type in the search [09:18] ttf-mscorefonts-installer [09:18] mikigirl: you just cut/paste the exact line he gave.... [09:18] select it for installation [09:18] click apply [09:18] ' sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer ' [09:19] mikigirl: Just open a terminal, and paste this in, exactly as it is: sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer [09:19] yeah, copy paste is easy, no in depth knowledge needed [09:19] you can even do with keyboard [09:19] mikigirl: When it asks for a password, type yours in. It won't appear neither in letters nor in asteriks [09:19] brokencodes, when ubuntu crashed i was using skype and firefox with two tabs: facebook and soundcloud [09:19] I thought she allready installed the fonts earlier. [09:19] !fonts [09:19] Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". For the official ubuntu font, see: http://font.ubuntu.com/ [09:19] by holding shift and ctrl, and hitting V [09:19] hello. I wanna install ubuntu on an internal HDD but i have series/movies/etc there. They take 500GB. I wanna use 60GB for ubuntu. Do I need to parition and/or format for that? [09:19] i wonder if the msttcorefonts package is an alias for that ttf-mscorefonts-installer [09:19] * theadmin is used to pasting with middle-mouse [09:20] or you can go to Edit, and Paste [09:20] Total_Oblivion: its best to run ubuntu on its own parittion. and you prob should make backups befor resizeing a hard drive partition [09:20] aldos, did you install the 32 bit version of skype? [09:20] okay i try to log out compleately and start the computer again and see. [09:20] Grub's still on my Windows drive as well as my Linux drive. Only the other boot loader on my Windows drive takes me the a "grub rescue" prompt now [09:21] somehow log out.. became reboot.. :) heh [09:21] Does anyone here know about connection sharing? I've installed Firestarter, and I'm just trying to get my xbox360 to use my computer's wireless internet, but my xbox won't get an IP address even though I ran Firestarter's wizard. Any ideas? :) [09:21] SchalaZeal: Get a Windows CD, open a recovery console, type in: "fixmbr && fixboot", reboot [09:21] dr_willis: because 500GB is tough to backup. I might install it on C along with w7. But that will need me to format and re-install w7? [09:21] Trowa: you may need to install a dhcp server. or set it to a static ip. [09:21] awesome, thanks [09:21] I told her to reboot, because for some paople is easier to hit power button on their PC, wait till dead, and return to power [09:21] Total_Oblivion: it is? I just backed up 3Tb here..... [09:21] dr_willis: I'll investigate both, thanks. [09:21] dr_willis: i have no space to back it up :P [09:21] SchalaZeal: you should be able to set grub to start windows too [09:22] Total_Oblivion: data wrorth keeping is worth backing up. :) a hd could die at any time. [09:22] yep [09:22] Okay [09:22] I had a brand new hard drive die immediately following an OS install [09:22] Total_Oblivion: you resize existing partitions to free up space.. you DONT reformat the partitions you are resizeing [09:22] dr_willis: i don't have any partitions [09:23] Total_Oblivion, I think you are mistaken [09:23] Total_Oblivion: err.. yes you do. :) [09:23] Windows cannot install without partitions [09:23] really? [09:23] windows 7 instals often take up 4 primary parittions.. that can be an issue. [09:23] i don't know which version of skype is installed.. i installed it from the ubuntu software center [09:23] Total_Oblivion: time to read up a bit on disk partitoning. [09:23] dr_willis: What? It takes 2, 3 at max [09:23] lol [09:23] it takes... one [09:23] 2 [09:23] No [09:23] Ben64: It reserves one for the bootloader/swapfile [09:23] WINDOWS 7 REQUIRES 2 PARTITIONS [09:24] dr_willis: i feel stupid atm... gimme links to read :P [09:24] i'm back now. The Google Earth is still in wrong mode though [09:24] theadmin: every new win7 machine ive seen is always using 4. One for its boot, one for the os, one for some revovery. then one for some special tools.. no idea why. [09:24] brokencodes: you don't need to yell [09:24] Total_Oblivion: start with the wikipedia pages on disk partitions :) [09:24] dr_willis: Well, that's manufacturer's fault. Plain Windows 7 requires only 2 [09:24] dr_willis: i thought that ubuntu made partition on its own [09:24] Windows 6.XX has required 2 partitions, for boot repair [09:24] go tell it to HP and DELL and Gateway and others... [09:25] Total_Oblivion: it resizes the existing parittions.. [09:25] Total_Oblivion: you can pastebin the output of 'sudo fdisk -l' for us to look at if you want. [09:25] Windows 7 is actually Windows Version 6.2.7300 [09:25] hallo at all, Good sunday [09:25] halloo [09:25] windows 7 dosent actually require 2 either. from what ive read. :) but getting it to use only 1 - aparently can be a pain. [09:25] I see in system monitor that i have 5 apache2 server processes running. Can someone tell me why? [09:26] spartan137: it spawns extras in case they are needed to reduce lag/load [09:26] dr_willis: do what? [09:26] dr_willis, if you dont have 2, you cannot successfully install a service pack [09:26] brokencodes, how i understand which version of skype i'm using? [09:26] aldos, I dont know [09:26] brokencodes: no idea on that. I just spent close to 12+ hrs backingig up/restoreing this windows laptop. :) === gcunha__ is now known as GuilhermeCunha [09:27] I keep my linux and windows installs on seperate hard drives as much as possible [09:27] but, what is the use or the need of apache2 server running if i use Kubuntu desktop system? [09:27] spartan137: you installed apache2 .. you tell us? [09:27] spartan137: why did you install apache? [09:27] spartan137, you can remove apache,if you see fit [09:27] :) [09:27] no, i did not install apache 2 [09:28] spartan137: its not installed by default.. so someone did. [09:28] spartan137: you did, ubuntu-desktop/alternate don't come default with apache [09:28] gremlins? [09:28] spartan137: "aptitude why apache2" [09:28] AHHH! Its the Apache DEMON!!! Get some salt, and a pebcak remover! [09:29] 'bloatware remover' [09:29] :) [09:29] ok i know i can remove apache2 by uninstalling, but since i'm new to kubuntu i'm asking if these apache processes are useful to something of the desktop manager or something else! [09:29] PEBCAK == Problem exists between Chair and Keyboard [09:29] *sigh*... fixmbr and fixboot are unknown commands... [09:29] spartan137: apache is a webserver [09:29] spartan137: somthing you installed pulled them in. [09:29] spartan137: if you dont need a web server.. then no its not usefull [09:30] SchalaZeal: A Windows recovery console. You must have that installed and/or run that from CD [09:30] SchalaZeal: depends on the version of windows also. [09:30] brokencodes: I have now installe the ttf:mscore you wrote earlier [09:30] well I opened command prompt from the CD [09:30] ok [09:30] SchalaZeal, [09:30] it's Windows 7 x64 [09:30] in cmd promt [09:30] type bootrec [09:30] those are not the proper commands for win7 i belive.. you may want to ask in #windows [09:31] hmm... ok [09:31] SchalaZeal, type in the cmd prompt, "bootrec" [09:31] dr_willis: Ah, well, I'm judging on my XP experience. Also, it is ##windows [09:31] still not sure why MS likes to change those commands eveyr so often. [09:31] fdisk /fixmbr [09:31] thanks, but do you know some commands to give to terminal to see what software install causes the installation of apache2? [09:31] for 95/XP - its fdisk \mbr or somthing like that [09:31] lnx: for Windows 7? [09:31] lnx, fdisk /mbr will not work in windows 7 [09:31] been years. :) [09:31] oh [09:32] then vista did somthing differnt.. then win7 i think did somthing differfnt still [09:32] SchalaZeal, type in the cmd prompt, "bootrec" [09:32] spartan137: "aptitude why apache2" [09:32] dr_willis: i just checked disk management: i have 1 primary partition on each HDD and on one 9 MB unallocated space and on the other no anallocated space [09:32] Hi [09:32] Hi [09:32] I have a problem. [09:32] shoot [09:32] oh ok.. i did'n understand that... before.. [09:32] SmallDeadGuy, whats the problem? [09:33] Basically, my laptop has 2 graphics cards. An NVIDIA GT 525m and a shitty intel one built into my i7 [09:33] k [09:33] spartan137: and yes, aptitude needs to be installed. also won't come by default anymore :( [09:33] Continue [09:33] bumblebee [09:33] :P [09:33] :D i saw! lool [09:33] My problem is the intel one won't run OpenGL on ubuntu, and when installing NVIDIA drivers to use that Unity won't work. [09:34] aptitude will overlapp apt? [09:34] anyone know how to change the icon of the Nautilus favorites side panel icons? [09:34] SmallDeadGuy, install ironhide, then u can run opengl-programs with optirun64 [09:34] spartan137: both are apt-frontend, aptitude just has some more features and better dep-handling [09:34] SmallDeadGuy, Just uninstall your nvidia-drivers [09:35] binsh: What I really want to do is force ubuntu to use the NVIDIA card, since its faster and better. [09:35] you cant [09:35] nvidia optimus isnt supported on linux [09:35] I cant disable the intel one in the bios either :( [09:36] when will the 11.10 be released as stable? [09:36] nope, got the same issue, so i just have to run w7 on my laptop. [09:36] memememe1: 11.10. [09:36] memememe1, in October, as the release schedule says [09:36] memememe1: Means october 2011. It's year.month [09:36] keynes vs hayek [09:36] see the 11? means 2011, see the 10? Means October [09:37] Yeah I've been stuck on w7 too. Ubuntu has no options for graphics cards to use? W7 does and you can specify for individual programs [09:37] you can force programs to run with nvivia [09:37] okies 12 more days to go [09:37] in the terminal you write optirun64 [09:37] memememe1: Not really, it's likely to be by the end of october [09:37] but you have to install ironhide first [09:38] memememe1: put another 2 weeks more on the bill & you're about good [09:38] memememe1: its 11.10, not 11.10.01, so be patient [09:38] binsh: Ok I guess ill try that, how can I uninstall the driver? [09:38] means? [09:38] ahh ok === Orion is now known as Guest7394 [09:38] SmallDeadGuy, can you enter ur desktop? or is it just one big "terminal"? [09:38] i am using 10.10 so waiting till 11.10 comes out [09:39] I can use terminal or go into failsafe graphics mode. [09:39] Not right now though, on my iPod :( [09:39] SmallDeadGuy: Ubuntu on iPod? [09:39] SmallDeadGuy, merry Xmas [09:39] http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=OTMyNA [09:39] ahh, ok, then just remove the /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and ubuntu will use your intel-gfx [09:40] No, im using iOS. Just getting ideas [09:41] SmallDeadGuy, did you see this? http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=OTMyNA [09:41] Hi! Yesterday I installed KDE on my Ubuntu system and since then Firefox is working very strangely. Fonts are rendered quite badly and back and forward buttons are always grayed out. Anyone who experienced this already? === TheDreamer is now known as Youri [09:41] anyone know why MPD-Player doesn't restore the state ( on system startup) in newest ubuntu? [09:41] brokencodes, that driver doesnt work with optimus [09:41] Luca1, do system update, and restart [09:42] Good morning! [09:42] brokencodes, nvidia has decided not to support optimus on linux ... [09:42] Synaptic autentification dialog does not get the focus in Oneiric. [09:42] justinas: Wrong channel for this, go to #ubuntu+1 [09:42] wtf is Optimus? Battery life crap? [09:42] Okay/ [09:43] brokencodes, yea, dynamic swithcing when you need it... [09:43] ghey [09:43] brokencodes, yeah, and all the new laptop uses that. [09:44] brokencodes: update? System is up to date... [09:44] binsh, what is this... http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=OTQxNg [09:44] brokencodes: That sounds like the driver I installed, but I use 64bit ubuntu so the hanging bug doesn't apply to me. Ubuntu just hates intel graphics cards [09:45] I have a 4 series in my HP 6730B,and have no issues [09:45] do i need to format an HD in order to partition and install ubuntu there? [09:45] brokencodes, the ur lucky :D [09:45] compiz works a treat too [09:45] 1680x1050 LCD [09:46] I just wish intel didn't stick crappy graphics cards in their CPUs. MC runs at 40 fps with my intel card or 320+ with my nvidia one [09:46] hello [09:47] I get 60FPS in XBMC on my HP 6730B and 200fps in Assault Cube [09:47] brokencodes, i think its the same as ironhide [09:47] brokencodes, ironhide and another project was called bumblebee before, but then it splitted into 2 groups [09:47] I only have Intel Q945 in my craptop [09:48] brokencodes, i used ironhide before, but its kinda crap to write optirun64 everytime, and some stuff even doesnt work [09:49] SmallDeadGuy, Try the ironhide thing ;) [09:50] brokencodes: solved by removing the configuration directory. Don't know what happened. [09:50] http://library.gnome.org/users/seahorse/2.32/seahorse.html: "SSH keys are used in key-based authentication system, as an alternative to the default password authentication system." What is meant by the »default password authentication system«? [09:51] binsh: I will [09:51] bullgard4: that ssh uses "password authentication" by default [09:51] bootrec /fixmbr did the trick [09:51] Can anyone help me get source code of default openvpn client in Ubuntu? [09:51] anandvenkat4: apt-get source whatever === GHost is now known as Guest19801 [09:52] should i install ubuntu server on to 1tb or a laptop hard drive? [09:52] LOL [09:52] Guest19801, should I cook my pizza in the microwave, or the oven? [09:52] both [09:53] thats a question you have to answer, we cannot make an opinion for you [09:54] Guest19801: 4GB is enough for a desktop install, server one takes even less, so you can choose [09:55] binsh: Actually, could I just blacklist my intel card? [09:55] laptop hard drives are usually slow [09:56] Guest19801 seems to have left... [09:56] SmallDeadGuy, i dont know really, but ive googled this crap alot, but ive only found the ironhide solution [09:57] Ben64 Dont tell that to Patriot, they make some of their fastest SSD's in 2.5" size [09:57] Good morning everyone [09:57] Ok thanks [09:57] !regme [09:57] hard drive != ssd [09:57] Hows your Ubuntu running? [09:59] llutz_: Are you going to tell me that the »default password authentication system« is the system that ssh uses by default for "password authentication"? So "SSH keys" is not the default system that ssh uses for password authentication? I do not understand. Say it in other words, please. [10:00] Ben64 these drivesare insanely fast.... http://www.patriotmemory.com/products/groupdetailp.jsp?prodgroupid=211&prodline=8&group=Wildfire%20Solid%20State%20Drives&catid=85 [10:00] bullgard4: thats what i meant. by default, only password-authentication works with ssh, all other mechanisms would need further action (generating keys.etc) [10:00] do you work for patriot or something :| [10:00] no, but i have them installed on a dev machine here, cry [10:01] anyone know if there is a channel for thunderbird (mailclient?)

[10:15] alo [10:16] co ai hong [10:16] có ai hông dậy [10:16] k ai ở việt nam à [10:16] is there a way to set /etc/network/interfaces or the dhcp client so that IP/Gateway/netmask are still brought in from dhcp but /etc/resolv.conf is static? [10:17] jrib: i just need the command [10:17] pedrocr: edit dhclient.conf [10:17] omido: why? What do you need to do? There might be a better way. [10:17] !vn | monte_ [10:17] pedrocr: if you have control over the dhcp server you can always assign a static ip [10:17] monte_: Để được trợ giúp về Ubuntu bằng ngôn ngữ Việt, xin vui lòng /join #ubuntu-vn. Rất vui lòng được giúp đỡ [10:17] pedrocr: It's not pedantically "correct," but you could set resolv.conf to immutable. [10:18] jrib: in opensuse i have a dedicated command line and file manager with root previlages. i wanted to know the commands to use it on other distros too . [10:18] tomodachi, I want the opposite, I want a dynamic IP but fixed dns, so I can connect to any network but not use their dns servers [10:18] pedrocr: edit dhclient.conf and set the options you need [10:19] llutz_, I saw your response and assume you mean /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf, I'm looking into it [10:19] Hi! I have the log in /var/apt/history.log. Can I automatically uninstall all the packages after a certain date? [10:19] pedrocr: /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf it was on 10.10 [10:20] omido: use gksudo or kdesudo with your file manager command but you should avoid running things as root when it isn't needed. [10:21] llutz_, my desktop 11.04 has both and my server 11.04 only has /etc/dhcp/ [10:22] i can't see a xorg.conf [10:22] xorg.conf doesn't get made anymore [10:25] jrib: thnx [10:25] Hi I was wondering if someone could give me some help with a Ubuntu 10.4 LTS Live CD [10:26] I have a spare hard drive I want to wipe the data from to make data recovery harder or near impossible, is there a tool for this or command line included in the Live CD to wipe a drive ? [10:27] Aer121: try wipe or shred [10:27] !info wipe [10:27] wipe (source: wipe): Secure file deletion. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.21-9 (natty), package size 42 kB, installed size 136 kB [10:27] !info shred [10:27] Package shred does not exist in natty [10:27] oh, Aer121 try wipe :) [10:27] are these included in the live cd or must i install ubuntu and then wipe or shred ? [10:28] Aer121: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda (or whatever drive it is you want to destroy) [10:28] !danger [10:28] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND! That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [10:28] llutz_: Thank you very much for your help. [10:29] thanks Ben64 so this tool will repeat an overwrite over each part of the drive to try destroy the data ?? or is it just like a nomral format ? [10:29] it writes over the entire drive with 0's [10:29] that makes it harder or near impossible to do any type of data recovery right ? [10:29] yeah [10:29] ok thanks :) [10:29] it works in live cd ? [10:29] if the FBI wants to get it, they might still be able to [10:30] yeah works from cd [10:30] ahh well I can handle government trying to get it, its just normal people without the resources i need to stop lol [10:30] another way is to do "/dev/urandom" instead of "dev/zero" but that will take many many times longer to complete [10:30] ahh [10:30] im guessing that way is more secure ? [10:30] yeah [10:31] I will look into them both and the commands you gave me :) [10:31] thanks a lot :) [10:31] but you need very very expensive equipment and probably a clean room to undo a zero filled drive [10:31] no problem [10:31] yeah i guessed lol :P [10:31] I just have an old hard drive from where i work [10:31] that needs wiping incase anyu sensitive data is on [10:32] so this should do the job :) becuase its nothing government would gbet involved in [10:32] cool [10:33] Who knows how to improve transfer speed with 1+ gig file from a ext4 to a fat32?

[10:48] Hey guys, i'm installing ubuntu on my mac using virtual box, and it asks what file type I'll use, I have following: VDI, VMDK, VHD and Parallels - Which one is best? [10:48] Zerpy: try #vbox [10:48] How can I figure out which process opened a listening port? [10:49] Thank you jrib [10:49] Zerpy: VDI [10:49] anyone here using netgear 150 [10:49] #python [10:49] SetiAmon, do you have any way to connect via ethernet? [10:49] Thank you Coraxx [10:49] setiamo: i dont [10:49] Zerpy: uw :-) [10:49] new2net: netstat or lsof [10:50] spartan137: most likely stuff that was pulled when installing something different. you'd have to "aptitude why..." for each of those to finally get the one you're looking for. simply "sudo apt-get -s purge apache2" and look what it would remove too [10:50] nope benoliver [10:50] new001: sudo lsof -i : [10:50] new2net: ^^ [10:50] llutz_: Thanks [10:50] hallooo,,,, [10:51] I just thought lsof took a PID as an argument, guess it doesn't have to [10:51] some body can help me,,,???? [10:51] choco_: what is your question? [10:51] !helpme| choco_ [10:51] choco_: Avoid following your questions with a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [10:51] choco_: r u able to install XAMPP???? [10:51] choco_: you have been advised to install LAMP [10:52] oh another question.versions after jaunty,always had sound distortions of my x-fi.Did they ever fix the x-fi support on later issues of ubuntu? [10:52] i want install xampp but error,,, [10:52] !lamp | choco_ don't install xampp, its not supported here. use repo-packages [10:52] choco_ don't install xampp, its not supported here. use repo-packages: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [10:52] choco_: delete xampp, you do not want xampp. Follow ubottu's instructions on installing LAMP through ubuntu's repositories [10:52] I droped ubuntu after going to karmic because of the poor x-fi support [10:52] http://www.barangayph.com/ubuntu-guide/installing-xampp-in-ubuntu-11-04-t90.html [10:52] * jrib sighs [10:53] i new in ubuntu... [10:53] choco_: in that case, use supported software such as LAMP, not XAMPP [10:53] SetiAmon: This might help, but otherwise you should Google compatibility with your device. http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8828250&postcount=14 [10:53] llutz_ it was "Weather Indicator 11.04.10" that opened it. Also, it's going to rain today [10:53] choco_: do you know how to use synaptic, add/remove porgrams, or apt? [10:54] apt... [10:54] llutz_, the /etc/dhcp3 thing is bug #768171, removing the /sbin/dhclient3 symlink solves it [10:54] Launchpad bug 768171 in ifupdown (Ubuntu) "/sbin/dhclient3 remains after all dhcp3 packages purged" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/768171 [10:54] why u dont follow the guide linked by me??? [10:54] choco_: good, you will need to use apt. Have you read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP to know what packages you need to install? [10:54] hi guys! could anyone point me to design guidelines for launcher icons? i searched the web and ubuntu wiki, to no avail. :-( [10:55] whens the next version of ubuntu coming out.isn't september ususally when they update it [10:55] choco_: sudo apt-ger purge xampp and then type tasksel [10:55] rootsdfd: please do not advise the use of xampp here [10:55] choco_: sudo apt-get purge xampp and then type tasksel [10:55] SetiAmon: 25 days. [10:55] rootsdfd: it's not from the officially supported repositories, we advise to use the ubuntu repositories [10:55] SetiAmon: 11.10 (10 is the 10th month of the year which is october) [10:55] ok ok === ubuntu_ is now known as guest665 [10:55] that will have all the updates so i'll wait then [10:56] here is my question for today ... I have a virtual machine (guest) with Ubuntu 10.04 installed on a Ubuntu 10.04 Server running VirtualBox. I have configured the guestOS to run with the ethernet-network as bridged. I have then installed OpenVPN on the guestOS and set it up in bridged-mode as well ... however something is not working as I can't access the connecting clients from other... [10:56] ...machines on the network ...only from the virtual OpenVPN host.....what do I do ? ... who is up for todays challenge ? :-) [10:56] hi all, just wondering if anyone can help with sed awk grep? im looking for a one-liner to shirt the last char of a line to the front of the line [10:56] can more simple,, [10:57] -01 [10:57] guest665: why would you want to do this? Sounds like homework... [10:57] y,,, [10:57] Hello [10:58] lol, homework, its not homework but it might as well be, do you have a solution ? jrib [10:58] How can I set the command shell to run a python script without having to run write "python" command before? e.g. ">> meir.py" instead of ">> python meir.py" [10:59] make sure you interpreter is within the PATH and chmod it to +x [10:59] MeirD, ^ [10:59] I found a translation bug on Keyboard properties. Where do I submit it? [10:59] MeirD: ./meir.py or more generally /path/to/meir.py assuming it is executable and you have python in the shebang line [11:00] is it a launchpad translation project? [11:00] jrib, awk sed | something else ? [11:00] guest665: you don't need anything other than bash [11:00] thnx! [11:01] i found error,,,in install xampp... [11:01] guest665: untested: sed -i 's/\(.*\)\(.\)$/\2\1/g' file [11:01] llutz, i will test thanks! [11:01] guest665: I will be less cryptic for you: bash substring [11:02] llutz_, wouldn't it be easier to use -r instead of all those \( \) ? [11:03] cousteau: likely ;) [11:03] Hello ... [11:04] I have a big problem with https://launchpad.net . I can not open this site with firefox or google-chromium but can open this with lynx or w3m or IE in windows OS ! [11:05] well i got it working ! llutz, but would be interested in more examples! thanks again! [11:05] mah454: why not [11:05] this message : http://pastebin.com/2PMWNRWa [11:05] choco_: if you do not listen to us, we cannot help you [11:05] guest665: really it doesn't make sense to use sed for this... [11:05] mah454: you must have something up with your firefox and chrome [11:06] works fine here [11:06] jrib, please explain [11:06] no . I have not proxy and i do not any change in browsers ... [11:06] guest665: you're using regular expressions to extract substrings given by position. Kind of silly [11:07] <[DeVil-BoY]> greetins [11:07] <[DeVil-BoY]> trying to use my wireless xbox controller in a ubuntu installtion with xbmc [11:07] jrib, so what make sense to you [11:07] <[DeVil-BoY]> but i can't get it to work [11:08] <[DeVil-BoY]> i've unloaded the native xpad driver [11:08] <[DeVil-BoY]> and now a boot the controller does nothing [11:08] <[DeVil-BoY]> if i run in a shell sudo xboxdrv --mouse [11:08] <[DeVil-BoY]> i can use the controller as a mouse [11:08] !enter | [DeVil-BoY] [11:08] [DeVil-BoY]: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [11:08] guest665: you know the old joke about regular expressions? "Some people, when confronted with a problem, think 'I know, I'll use regular expressions.' Now they have two problems." Anyway, it's fine but I would suggest you just use bash's ability to extract substrings. Here is an example: foo="this is a line"; echo ${foo:3:5} . There's some documentation here if you want: [11:08] http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/string-manipulation.html [11:09] <[DeVil-BoY]> right... [11:09] jrib: gets even cryptic when linelength is not fixed [11:10] llutz_: the page I linked him to has string length as first thing explained :P [11:10] <[DeVil-BoY]> is there anyway that i could run the command sudo xboxdrv --mouse automatically at startup, the driver itself can be run in a daemon mode but i'm not sure what that would do and it it would work at all [11:10] how to run the source code of the bug after getting the branch through launchpad [11:11] halloooo [11:11] choco_: if you are having a problem installing LAMP, just tell us what it is [11:12] !upstart | [DeVil-BoY] that's where you should look [11:12] [DeVil-BoY] that's where you should look: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [11:12] <[DeVil-BoY]> also when i do lsmod | grep uinput it doesn' show anything although there's an entry for uinput on /etc/modules [11:12] here is my question for today ... I have a virtual machine (guest) with Ubuntu 10.04 installed on a Ubuntu 10.04 Server running VirtualBox. I have configured the guestOS to run with the ethernet-network as bridged. I have then installed OpenVPN on the guestOS and set it up in bridged-mode as well ... however something is not working as I can't access the connecting clients from other... [11:12] ...machines on the network ...only from the virtual OpenVPN host.....what do I do ? ... who is up for todays challenge ? :-) [11:13] jrib, thanks for the link, how would you # cat file | swap last to first. [11:13] Hi everybody [11:14] HI aziz_light [11:14] guest665: I Seem to recall a 'tac' command once.. that recersed a file [11:14] guest665: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/001 [11:14] error... [11:14] choco_: please speak in complete sentences. Otherwise we cannot help you. [11:15] i think choco_ is very young [11:15] <[DeVil-BoY]> what could be the reason that when i run sudo modprobe uinput then lsmod | grep uinput and there's no output? [11:15] dr_willis: Hi there.... You are usually the one with the answers :-) ... how about this question... [11:15] echo ${yourstring:0,-1}$yourstring [11:15] I am trying to uninstall postgresql from my server. I tried aptitude purge postgresql but it didn't remove the postgresql dirs in /etc/. Can I removed those dirs safely? [11:15] aziz_light: what does « dpkg -S /path/to/file/in/question » return? [11:15] I have vanilla ubuntu 10.04, can remote XClients use that? [11:16] dr_willis: ... I have a virtual machine (guest) with Ubuntu 10.04 installed on a Ubuntu 10.04 Server running VirtualBox. I have configured the guestOS to run with the ethernet-network as bridged. I have then installed OpenVPN on the guestOS and set it up in bridged-mode as well ... however something is not working as I can't access the connecting clients from other machines on the network... [11:16] ......only from the virtual OpenVPN host.....what do I do ? :-) [11:16] lnx_: that will copy last char, not move [11:16] jrib: dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /etc/postgresql. [11:16] aziz_light: then it should be safe to manipulate yourself [11:17] hy [11:17] coraxx: check the ip's the guest os is getting/ make sure it is bridged. ive never used vpn so cant really suggest anything else. other then testing with ping and ssh to make sure you can get to the guest os directly [11:18] good luck. i will bbl. [11:18] dr_willis: the guest is bridged ...and I can ping the connecting clients from the guest ...just not other machines on the network :-( [11:18] dr_willis: ok thx .. tc :-) [11:18] guest665: did you figure out how to do what you asked on a line using bash? Or are you not really interested? [11:19] helloooo [11:20] choco_: stop saying hello please [11:20] tc you all :-) [11:21] so.. [11:21] jrib, still not working as expected, but working on it! if you have a solution / example i am very interested! [11:21] guest665: what are you trying? [11:22] im still playing with the sed line i was given, and it works in part but it run against the file its self it remove the last char rather than sliding it to the front, [11:22] it run = if run [11:23] guest665: there's a specific ##sed channel, which is more appropriate than an #ubuntu channel [11:24] soz, always come here first cas there are some class peps! [11:24] im using ubuntu if that helps, lol [11:24] guest665: if you take the time to read about bash substring extraction, the answer should be pretty straightforward... [11:25] guest665: but llutz_'s sed solution should work too... it's just not as pure as I would like :P [11:26] jrib, so what is your example, im reading but not getting it yet ;) [11:27] and i get that i can return the length using # ie $(#string) [11:28] guest665: I gave my example: foo="this is a line"; echo ${foo:3:5}. That gives you substring starting at 3 and taking 5 characters. But you want "last character" + "first character to second to last character". So you now have 2 substrings that you need to figure out how to extract [11:28] If I have not set a port to 'deny' or 'allow' in UFW, how does it act? [11:29] Dulcin: there are no iptables rules by default, so it would be allowed [11:29] Dulcin, is there a service on it ? [11:29] Well I'm just asking in general, because I have currently only added a few rules to allow [11:29] should i manually add all ports to deny to be secure then? [11:30] Dulcin: All Incoming is Deny be default. All outgoing is Allow by default. [11:30] ah, so for a webserver I currently have set: 22, 80, 443, 21, 25, 53 to allow [11:31] did i do that right? [11:31] :D [11:31] Dulcin, run ufw status verbose itll tell you [11:31] well I did set it up right I mean [11:31] hey, I've a problem signing the Code of Conduct. It keeps telling me "General Error". Is this the right place to ask for help? [11:31] but does it sound secure to you? [11:31] i found error in install xampp... [11:32] Dulcin: it depends on what services you want to run. for example, if you are running an ssh server, then allow port 22. [11:32] choco_: sudo apt-get purge xampp and then type tasksel [11:32] Dulcin, ufw defaults to deny, you open the ports you want and its ok === skoef_ is now known as skoef [11:32] Well, I only opened the ones up which I am using or seems plausible I will use in the future (like https) [11:33] Dulcin, yes looks ok [11:33] Dulcin, ufw does the rest for you. look at iptables -L and all the rules [11:33] cool [11:34] MonkeyDust : not found..???? [11:34] does thunderbird have support for contact sync (with ubuntu one)? [11:34] Gentoo64: I see why they call it UFW now [11:34] Why does sudo -u root not work for me anymore? [11:34] It is supposed to make the terminal root [11:34] choco_: in Terminal, type tasksel [11:34] but it doesnt [11:34] it just displays the options [11:34] diki: use "sudo -i" [11:35] diki: "sudo -u root" would never work [11:36] MonkeyDust : y,,i know...but was error...i don't know why???? [11:36] ok i did sudo -i root now i get -bash: root: command not found [11:36] sudo passwd root && su -l root | sudo -i [11:36] diki: man sudo #Will give you some valuable information. [11:36] sudo -me root? [11:36] just type sudo -i ffs [11:36] diki: sudo -i [11:36] diki: sudo -i [11:36] +1 sudo -i [11:36] ok that gave me root [11:36] !details| choco_ [11:36] choco_: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [11:37] diki: Wouldn't it be simplier to just use sudo before the admin command you want to preform? [11:37] sudo apt-get purge xampp,,,???? [11:38] choco_, i think its apt-get remove --purge [11:38] MonkeyDust : sudo apt-get purge xampp...???? [11:38] guest: Don't advise people to unlock their root accounts and log in under it. Everything that needs to be done with root can be done through sudo [11:38] choco_: is there a different language you would be more comfortable obtaining help in? [11:38] choco_: sudo apt-get purge xampp and then type tasksel [11:38] Gentoo64: apt-get purge is ok, just xampp wasn't installed as a deb i guess [11:38] Gentoo64, choco_: apt-get remove --purge package is the same as apt-get purge package [11:38] ah ok [11:38] guest665: please don't enable root password, it's not supported [11:39] usr13:yes, but i kinda screwed some stuff in my mysql installation so i wanted to check what else [11:39] sudo -i root worked before...now it doesnt [11:39] diki: no it didn't [11:39] now i need to use sudo -i [11:39] jrib : y,,, [11:39] diki, you dont need the root bit [11:39] diki: it won't [11:42] does anyone what the process id for software sources is? [11:42] MonkeyDust : y but in screen,,,,,unable to location package xampp,,, [11:42] ar9: how would we know what it is on your machine? [11:43] Myrtti: sorry, do you what the process is called so i can fore quit it? [11:43] ar9: ps -A, look for it then issue kill -9 [11:44] what is the purpose of Gnome ? What Gnome exactly does? [11:44] !gnome | cvam [11:44] cvam: GNOME is the default !desktop environment on Ubuntu up to 10.10 To install it from Kubuntu or Xubuntu, type « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » in a !terminal. [11:45] i'm from indonesi,,and i not good in speak,,, [11:45] Polah: sorry but i need to know what the process name for software sources is, not sure ho i can find the pid without the name [11:45] cvam: Gnomes sit in your garden to make it look nice. Garden being a metaphor for your screen (: [11:46] ok What are the jobs done by a Desktop environment [11:46] hey all [11:46] ar9: Probably "software-sources" or something like that... [11:46] I'd like to dual boot ubuntu and another linux distribution. Therefore I want to disable the management of grub config in Ubuntu. What is the safest way to do this? Is the uninstallation of grub sufficient? [11:46] !desktop | cvam [11:46] cvam: A desktop environment is what "puts the pieces of a !GUI together". The available desktop environments in Ubuntu are !GNOME (ubuntu-desktop), !KDE (kubuntu-desktop), !Xfce (xubuntu-desktop), IceWM, !Fluxbox, WindowMaker (wmaker), FVWM and others - See also !Flavors [11:47] Polah: Is it responsible for running GUI application ? [11:49] mrothe: what other disrto? it may be easier to let ubuntu handle grub. [11:49] cvam: Not exactly. X handles providing the graphics, GNOME is an environment for that which is actually what makes your GUI look like what it does, i.e. provides panels. On top of that sits a window manager (Metacity or Compiz for GNOME) which handles window decoration for GNOME [11:49] Hello, I just finished installing ubuntu 11.4. Unfortunately I have no sound output. aplay -l lists 0: Intel [HDA Intel], Gerät 0: HDA Generic [HDA Generic]. Can you tell me what to try to get sound? [11:49] cvam: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop_environment http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_manager [11:50] dr_willis: let's assume it is linux from scratch, but it doesn't matter. What is the best way to disable management of grub by ubuntu? [11:50] alsamixer and application are not muted btw. [11:50] mrothe: never tried really. ubutu is very good at finding other disrtos. You can chain load one grub from another. that would most likely be the best way to do it. [11:51] dr_willis: ubuntu 11.04 does not play nice with by UEFI-only Lenovo X220. [11:52] mrothe, interesting, what exactly? [11:52] macer1: it just won't work. Ubuntu installs the default grub, which won't work. [11:53] and some other disrtos grub does work? [11:54] Hi ! I quickly need 1 video clip about Ubuntu to put on my website. and it should be free-to-use.. royalty free etc.. any link ? I hope its fine to ask here [11:54] dr_willis: well, I just set it up myself. [11:54] hello [11:55] is this "ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso" a valid .iso to install on a memory stick? [11:55] lol [11:55] matrixiumn, yes [11:55] matrixiumn: why would you think its not? [11:55] it has desktop in the file name [11:55] matrixiumn: so? [11:56] mrothe, 11.10 have fixed uefi support ;) [11:56] how do I switch my language? [11:56] so I can switch back and forth from english to hindi [11:56] !language [11:56] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [11:56] guys [11:56] :) wrong factoid. [11:56] dr_willis, nice try :) [11:56] lol [11:56] !locale [11:56] To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf [11:56] I thought it was only for installation on desktops not for memory sticks and just to be sure I joined this channel [11:56] when i do "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda" is it normal it shows no sort of progress ? I just have to sit and wait and guess how much its done ? [11:57] yes [11:57] matrixiumn: tat dosent really make sence.. you install to a memory stick.. to boot a computer . :) [11:57] because i cant seem to find its process in the system monitor either [11:57] macer1: mhh... okay. I'd like to stay as close to stabl as possible for now. I need Ubuntu just for Android development... ;-) [11:57] I followed a tutorial and got that output: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=b3c34d5cc74b3b55a8fa97b948472101623978e9 [11:57] Aer121: yes, you could open a 2nd terminal and type "killall -USR1 dd" to get a status report [11:57] Aer121: tjeres tricks to make it show progress. === sonic_ is now known as Guest46989 [11:57] ok I will tell you later [11:57] still no sound :( [11:57] opensuse is best [11:57] sorry guys and gals [11:57] :) [11:57] dr_willis: im guessin i use some sort of verbose mode [11:57] like add -v command somehwere ? [11:57] mrothe, if you don't want to install beta now, try +mac iso. It is .iso without efi support, so it will install in BIOS compatibility mode. [11:58] g30: can be, but that's not the topic here, so drop that discussion please [11:58] ok [11:58] hi all [11:58] Aer121: dd has no progress-bar or similar fancy stuff [11:58] whats the topic? [11:58] so no way of seeing how much is doen and left ? [11:58] !topic [11:58] Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information. To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic [11:58] Aer121: yes, you could open a 2nd terminal and type "killall -USR1 dd" to get a status report [11:58] hmm ok i will try that thanks [11:59] Aer121: jsut don't miss the -USR1 ... [11:59] ok [11:59] macer1: this laptop (Lenovo X220) is 2 to 3 times slower when booting in bios mode instead of UEFI, so I'd like to keep BIOS compatibility switched off. [11:59] when they finish 11.10 they broke everything with updates [11:59] ? [11:59] g30: Oneiric/11.10 is not yet released (still beta). Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion [11:59] multiarch? [11:59] mrothe, what do you run now on UEFI? [11:59] OK ill talk ubuntu [12:00] 11.04 compiz is wack [12:00] where is the evolution plugins folder located again? [12:00] g30: do you have an actual support question? [12:00] g30: this channel is for ubuntu support, not complaining [12:00] ok i tried that command in the terminal that dd is running it shows a long list of number (bytes) copied, 217,457 s, 3.1MBs [12:00] yes please [12:00] that is normal and its still running right ? [12:00] Aer121: right [12:00] when try and change compiz ccsm its make all ubuntu dt go away [12:00] so of my 40GB drive it has only done 678MB [12:00] the number in brackerts ? [12:00] Hi 2 all! [12:00] then need redo sessions [12:01] to fix why is this? [12:01] Can anyone help me with my 'no sound' issue? The card seems be be o.k. I read some googled tutorials but I don't know how to fix, still [12:01] Aer121: you did use a 'bs' option to the dd command? [12:01] no [12:01] i just used this [12:01] dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda [12:01] Aer121: why are you even doing that? [12:01] becuase its a hard drive from work [12:01] that needs to wiped incase it has any sensitive info on [12:01] Aer121: so.... why are you doing that... :) [12:01] Aer121: dd bs=4k .... would have been a bit faster but dd _is_ slow [12:01] macer1: yes, I set it up myself. I.e. create UEFI boot partion, compile bootx64.efi and write a grub.cfg. [12:01] please dont misunderstand me i love Ubuntu but it just seems as if its a bunch of things thrown together [12:01] its allready whiped i imagine Aer121 ... [12:02] why not just use debian? [12:02] nah im the IT guy there lol i was asked to wipe it [12:02] g30: drop that discussion now please [12:02] Aer121: there are secure deletion tools out there.. [12:02] makro: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting [12:02] i thought this was one lol [12:02] Ocean i dont mean to make you upset why are you mad at me? please tell me [12:02] macer1: now I would like to figure out how to disable ubuntu to change this grub.cfg. I just want to manage it myself. [12:02] Aer121: you could just zero it.. and be done with it.. urandom is overkill i imagine [12:02] I was in here earlier and asked if ubuntu live cd has a secure deletion tool and i got told to use dd [12:03] T=OO4$F k$MVF, =Wd?/fH [p|[KO>H .v-|,C hK}Q]h{Q c& Aer121: dd if=/dev/zero of=/whatever bs=4k [12:03] vaEO@=V{ /kZsk(x +$|]}cu H5*.<:tr SFXZY/@- AglD&u A[b=<%n [12:03] *Ymw"Z AfmHCYN P+SmYy,l ]toShrLC O=wl\INA j+XujT; 1joTQRY [12:03] {p#}$b4M ;:Qy+*_K iqOHS?I )#;)gU= $bCa3]T [12:03] umm [12:03] what? [12:03] yeah, i was paranoid though and wanted to see how long overkill would take xD i might just 0 it next time [12:03] Aer121: i doubt if anyuthingis going to get recovered from it anyway [12:03] that was fast :D [12:03] Never a dull moment [12:03] so what exactly does this "bs=4k" do ? [12:03] that was fast ban :D [12:03] dr_willis: methinks data can be recovered by hardware methods from zeroed hdds [12:04] dr_willis: /dev/zero isn't true zeroing, since it does actually write data to the disk. /dev/zero provides ASCII 0s [12:04] matrixiumn: please don't do that [12:04] Aer121: sets blocksize to 4096 byte, which speeds dd a little bit up in most cases [12:04] ohh ok [12:04] Aer121: Use /dev/null instead of /dev/zero [12:04] netyire: every so often we have a discussion about it in here. :) most people go way way overboard to whipe the drives. [12:04] I think I am using open source flash and it sucks. Any alternative for an ATI card? [12:04] netyire: I did that tutorial to the 'alsa' script point. Everything seems to be ok, but no sound. Will I have to install manually? [12:04] Polah: dev/null to read from?? [12:04] llutz_: Yes [12:04] lol its ok, i think i may have gone overboard xD its just if anything ever gets recovered its on my head lol so i chose the ultra paranoid option lol [12:04] dr_willis: I agree, personally I think it takes too much time and effort [12:04] /dev/input :) [12:05] Aer121: just put it in a strong plastic container and microwave it [12:05] lol [12:05] well we are going to ruse the drive xD [12:05] I can't find "Adobe Flash Plugin" in my Software of Ubuntu 11.10... there's only a specific one for Firefox, not for all the other browsers... [12:05] *re-use [12:05] madjoe: they should use the one firefox uses. [12:05] netyire: I pasted the output from the alsa script above. Would you be so kind to have a look at it? [12:05] dr_willis: I guess that takes data from human input? Interesting idea, if you wanted to sit there for ages hitting your keyboard and moving your mouse (: [12:06] Polah: or /dev/whateverthemicinputis :) [12:06] makro: I make no promises makro, but I'll take a look -- it might be something easy I can help you fix :-D [12:06] thanks dr_willis [12:06] how about 'yes > /dev/devicename' :) [12:06] Polah: why dev/null instead of dev/zero ? [12:06] zero is ascii zero. Null is nulls... :) [12:07] dr_willis, so if I install this, I should be able to type in hindi in irssi? [12:07] lol [12:07] and other people will be able to see it? [12:07] cypha: no idea. [12:07] netyire: I hope so... Maybe we're licky. Here the link again: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=b3c34d5cc74b3b55a8fa97b948472101623978e9 [12:07] dr_willis: ok, thanks... I've read some bad comments on that one, so I was hoping there's a better one :) [12:07] Aer121: /dev/null is actual bitwise 0s (instead of bitwise 1s). /dev/zero provides ASCII zeroes which is bitwise 1s and 0s, it's not a true nullification of the data since there is still data there (number 0s) [12:07] can you really read från /dev/null ?? [12:08] from* [12:08] ahh ok so null will make it harder to recover data ? [12:08] cat /dev/null > nullfile.txt [12:08] :) [12:08] You worried about the FBI comming in or somthing? :) [12:08] I think I tried to use /dev/null and that did not work so I had to use /dev/zero [12:08] HI [12:08] lol no xD [12:08] Hey [12:08] lol [12:09] spacebug-: Yes, it provides no data when read from, so when dd reads from it, for example, it has no data as an input so it writes no data (blanks it) as an output [12:09] i just wanna make sure that the average person with data recovery software cant get anything :P [12:09] rot13 the drive! [12:09] Tor is not working for me [12:09] What's the machine name for the left/right arrow keys? [12:09] dd if=/dev/null brings" 0+0 records out" [12:09] little tip, /dev/null won't finish ever [12:09] Aer121: then just reformating it should be enough i imagine. [12:09] Hey, my USB stick doesn't seem to "load" (light flashes once and then goes out). It usually works, and I guess reboot would help. How would I restart USB services without rebooting? I tried sudo modprobe -r usb_storage; sudo modprobe usb_storage; but that did nothing at all.... [12:09] Ben64: it won't even start [12:09] yeah [12:09] I'm on 10.04LTS [12:09] null is nothing [12:09] a normal reformat is easy to recover data from though [12:09] it's says Connected to Tor Network [12:09] i have done it many times [12:09] /dev/zero is fast and good enough [12:10] but i'm using Tor button ando does not connect [12:10] Aer121: you are reformating it to a differnt fs.. its not. but go ahead and let it run. we dont care. :) [12:10] hello, is anyone from sweden here? I need something very small translated... please... sorry for offtopic [12:10] Roland-: translate.google.com ? [12:10] Roland-, use google translate [12:10] Roland-: take offtopic to #ubuntu-offtopic [12:10] Aer121: Correct. Deleting or formatting drives doesn't actually remove the data, it just removes pointers to it and information ABOUT the data, so the data is there but the system doesn't know that so it overwrites it when it needs to. It can be recovered by actually going over the entire disk and pulling all the data [12:10] lol >.< [12:10] Polah: "dd if=/dev/null ...." won't write anything anywhere, result= 0+0 records out [12:10] What is the linux equivalent of "Add and remove programs"? [12:10] format it to minix! :) then write zeros to the fs.. then rot13 the fs... then put fortune output on it over and over... [12:10] :) [12:10] diki: the pacakge manager tools handle that. [12:10] makro: looks normal, the dmesg log doesn't have any alsa-related error messages [12:10] diki, in ubuntu it's Synaptic I guess, or apt-get [12:10] dr_willis: dd count=100 bs=1k if=/dev/null of=out.txt that makes a 0 byte size file for me [12:10] what Polah said lol [12:10] the synaptic pakacge manager? [12:11] diki: there is no linux standard for it, ubuntu's version would be synaptic, yes [12:11] diki, yup. [12:11] makro: has sound ever worked on your current setup? [12:11] Hello, is there any program to use in order to draw database tables; [12:11] spacebug-: it has a lot of good compression! :) [12:11] hmm cant say ive used minix xD [12:11] hahaha [12:11] and their relationship? [12:11] i appreciate the info though guys :) [12:11] dr_willis: but seriously? [12:11] makro: the pulseaudio system loses sound sometimes, killall pulseaudio and an application restart usually fixes this [12:11] netyire: no, it's a vitgin 11.4 install. On my old system (linux, too) sound worked correctly [12:12] spacebug-: i just use zero perosnally when i have to zero out a disk [12:12] Well, this really sucks. Ubuntu is now like Windows... "reboot to fix" ~_~ [12:12] well, i am looking to uninstall xampp, but i installed it manually [12:12] how do i uninstall it on 11.04? [12:12] hi :D [12:12] diki: manually means what exactly? [12:12] ok [12:12] dr_willis:it means i downloaded a tar package i think [12:12] untarred it [12:12] diki, then synaptic won't help. [12:13] then how do i? [12:13] cause i b0rked my mysql installation [12:13] makro: hmm, the link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting isn't so much a script as a series of steps to fix audio issues, did you follow the troubleshooting tips? [12:13] and i thought maybe a complete removal would help [12:13] diki, you'd need to remove it manually too. See if running ``make uninstall`` does anything; if not you'll need to remove the files ``make install`` installed... [12:13] anyway thanks for all the help guys :) i gotta log for a while cya later really appreciated the info :) [12:13] how I setup my bash shell so that directories I create have no other permissions by default? [12:13] diki, hm... something tells me it won't ^_^ [12:14] diki, perhaps reinstalling mysql would though. At least that's what I would do. [12:14] codemagician: they always have some permissions and owner.. what permission do you want totm to have. [12:14] netyire: Yes, I did follow the tutorial step by step, until the point 'alsa-script'. In did not do the 'manual install' part [12:14] Zoffix:its a windows habbit [12:14] spacebug-: all the examples i find use /dev/zero as a source.. heres an amuseing command --> dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=900000 [12:14] netyire: killing and restarting pulseaudio did not fix the isue [12:15] dr_willis, I'd like my directories to be drwxrwx--- [12:15] dr_willis, in other words, the group and me can access them by default [12:15] bs=900000 would be slow [12:15] oh wait, to null [12:15] codemagician: set umask=0007 [12:15] big cpu waste [12:15] makro: I'm looking at the page, is alsa script mentioned here? I get no results on the keyword [12:15] llutz_, and how about having files different to dirs? [12:16] Ben64: :) yep.. [12:16] What's the machine name for the left/right arrow keys? [12:16] Hello, How're you folks? [12:16] Meh [12:16] llutz_, in the umask=0007 does the first 0 mean an octal number follows? [12:17] netyire: I refer to the topic: Is ALSA using the correct model? [12:17] codemagician: those are all octal numbers [12:17] hi. I have just installed natty, but one problem is that my jack headphones won't work. My external speakers works fine, as do my USB headset, but not my jack headphones [12:17] how can I fix this? [12:17] llutz_, and the last 3 numbers 007 correspond to user, group and other respectively? [12:17] codemagician: correct [12:17] I have just recently installed Ubuntu 11.04. And it's just been a problem since I installed it. I ran compiz and activated the desktop cube and since then it's been a problem. I managed to fix the compiz problem by eventually uninstalling it. Now it's freezing at least twice every thirty minutes. What is wrong with this new Ubuntu? And can some one help me fix it. I'm getting very distressed with it. And I'm thinking of going back to Ubuntu 10.10. :D [12:18] ah, makro the script isn't meant to detect any errors with the configuration, its intended to determine the alsa version you have and the module used to drive it [12:18] Polah: You're simply wrong. /dev/zero does not print out ASCII 0, but NULL bytes [12:18] llutz_, thanks. Also I noticed I can't seem to set this on the shell window itself. must it be run inside the .bashrc file? [12:18] I put clock_rclick_command = orage in tint2rc but it is not working. why? [12:19] makro: enter those two items under the options line in the alsa-configuration.txt and run sudo alsa force-reload [12:19] codemagician: yes, .profile or .bashrc [12:19] hi [12:19] what does the "nomodeset" option does at boot time ? [12:19] as llutz_ already mentioned, if you do dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/sdX you wont be overwriting anyting. [12:20] !nomodeset | nameless` [12:20] nameless`: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [12:20] Please can someone help, I have just recently installed Ubuntu 11.04. And it's just been a problem since I installed it. I ran compiz and activated the desktop cube and since then it's been a problem. I managed to fix the compiz problem by eventually uninstalling it. Now it's freezing at least twice every thirty minutes. What is wrong with this new Ubuntu? And can some one help me fix it. I'm getting very distressed with it. And I'm thinking of going ba [12:20] ck to Ubuntu 10.10. [12:20] llutz_, that works great thanks. Is there a way to setup the umask for files and directories separately? [12:21] codemagician: afaik no, fmask/dmask are not used this way [12:22] llutz_, at the moment, a mkdir creates a drwxrwx--- and a file creates a -rw-rw---- which is in fact what I want, but I'm not sure why a file is read and write for both owner and group by default? [12:22] Anyone? [12:23] codemagician: umask=0000 -> permission for directory 0770 and files 0660 [12:23] umask=0007 sry [12:23] codemagician: default for dirs is 777 and files 666 [12:23] if i create a /etc/X11/xorg.conf it will be take into acount ? [12:23] RedViper: are you running Unity? [12:23] hi. I have just installed natty, but one problem is that my jack headphones won't work. My external speakers works fine, as do my USB headset, but not my jack headphones. Any have an idea of how to fix this? [12:24] jwrigley: Yes, :D [12:24] makro: I'm running 11.04 too, if you're having any trouble locating the files listed in the troubleshooting guide just holler and I'll be right on it :-) [12:24] nameless`: yes [12:24] RedViper: try installing unity-2d instead, you might have better luck [12:24] llutz_, do you mean umask=0007 for the first line [12:24] codemagician: yes, sry typo [12:24] RedViper: just do sudo apt-get install unity-2d [12:25] llutz_, so what is the default umask [12:25] codemagician: most likely 0022 [12:25] llutz_, is that fixed within linux itself === lost is now known as Guest46479 [12:26] codemagician: check /etc/profile [12:26] hello [12:27] I have this line */5 * * * * PYTHONPATH=/home/iegg/f0und/f0und/lib/python2.6/site-packages /home/iegg/f0und/bin/supybot-botchk --botdir=/home/iegg/f0und/bin --pidfile=/home/iegg/f0und/bin/pid.f0und-fn --conffile=/home/iegg/f0und/bin/f0und-fn.conf --supybot=/home/iegg/f0und/bin/supybot in my crontab, I see the crontab running buy they don't get executed. how come? [12:27] llutz_, may I ask, why inside the /etc/profile it says 022 without the prefix 0 as in your example? [12:27] llutz_, is that shorthand for 0220 [12:28] jwrigley: Ok I'm doing it now. But may I ask why Ubuntu has made 11.04 like this. You can't add things on the top or side toolbar. You can't move your windows around. I thought it was supposed to be user friendly? I'm finding it very difficult to work with, and I know my way around Ubuntu. [12:28] Kartagis: check for mail from cron or redirect stdout and stderr in that command to some file and check for output [12:28] codemagician: short for 0022, i'm just used to use 4 digits [12:28] llutz_, so I guess umask always expects an octal number right? [12:29] jrib: I don't get any mails [12:29] jrib: just syslog output [12:29] Kartagis: you need an mta installed to receive mail [12:29] codemagician:iirc it also takes character-notation, but never used it. [12:30] RedViper: If you decide you prefer gnome, you can select Ubuntu Classic in the bottom menu of the login screen, then the user interface will be the same as v10.10 [12:30] how do i increase the resolution of my fresh new ubuntu 11.04 ? [12:30] jrib: I have postfix installed [12:30] llutz_, so the umask is applied to creating directories and files and applied to both as a universal mask [12:31] netyire: I added the line 'options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-digout' to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and restarted alsa. No effect. What this the action you meant? [12:31] codemagician:yes, and short google brings: umask u=rwx,g=rwx,o=rx should work too [12:32] llutz_, you mentioned earlier about fmask and dmask [12:32] RedViper: whether you decide to run Unity-2d or gnome, you will have to select it (on first run) at login time, from the menu that appears when you have clicked your username, but not entered your password [12:32] llutz_, does this exist [12:32] codemagician: yes but only as mount-options for some non-unix filesystems [12:33] llutz_, so in a UNIX system in general what determines the file permissions when do "touch file" [12:33] llutz_, as opposed to a "mkdir mydir" [12:33] xxxxx [12:34] jwrigley: Ok it's installed. I went into the classic Ubuntu in the log on screen. But the windows were all under the top tool bar and I could not move it, [12:34] RedViper: if you hold down alt. then click anywhere in a window. you can move the window. [12:35] bbl [12:35] codemagician: tbh: i don't know exactly. i'd guess kernel reads info like "uid" "euid" "filesystem" "umask" and calculates something. [12:35] where on earth are gone the xorg.conf file ? how is xorg configured now ? [12:35] nameless`: automatically... you can put a xorg.conf file there if you want one, though. [12:36] dr_willis: Alt? But I don't really want to press alt every time i want to move a window. :D [12:36] jwrigley: yeah but still how is it configured though ? which driver used etc. ? [12:36] nameless`: same as before [12:37] jwrigley: before it was /etc/X11/xorg.conf [12:37] jwrigley: now there is nothing by default [12:37] Kartagis: so anything interesting? [12:37] jwrigley: but still xorg works by default, it should read some configuration somewhere [12:38] jrib: no, just a typo [12:38] :S [12:38] netyire: Sorry, I have to go. Thank you for helping, so long. I'll retry later [12:38] nameless`: if there is no file /etc/X11/xorg.conf, Xorg will autoconfigure.. if the file is there Xorg will obey it. [12:38] jrib: I have just realized I made a typo in directory name [12:38] dr_willis: OK, so it works, but now to maximise it, the maximise button has gone and it's been replaced by the name of the program.? [12:39] Kartagis: ok [12:39] jwrigley: ok, well i don't like my resolution, i'd like to increase is there any easy way or should i write a configuration file Device section from scratch ?

[13:54] no rova, 1010 [13:54] Rovanion: it would probably more of a project for the curious rather than a solution to installation [13:54] Rovanion: why would you do something like that?

[14:07] so in ubuntu cant unlock a modem [14:08] figaccio: that sounds like a mess, why did you change the pcb? [14:09] yeats: Well bollox, there is no package alien for Fedora above 1. [14:09] somicuthbert: what do you mean by unlock? [14:09] i've got a graphical chipset intel gma 4500 HD wich works with vesa driver though the resolution really sucks and i can't change it (when using xrandr i get a configuration crtc0 failed). If i use the intel driver, the screen remains black and the xorg log tells me "no screens found" [14:09] i grilled the old one, (plugged falsefully my notebook power supply to it) [14:09] Rovanion: yeah - I thought that method would be fraught with (even more) headaches ;-) [14:09] So guys [14:09] even though a file exists [14:09] why does find not find it? [14:10] i do sudo find / -name 'name of dir or file/ [14:10] do you have permissions to see it? [14:10] no permission to view [14:10] and it yields no results [14:10] here is my pastebin with intel driver http://pastebin.com/aZY5xq6M [14:10] i mean vendor of my modem want me to use only her SIM CARD but when you unlock you can use your modem with any SIMCARD [14:11] figaccio: you can use fdisk to reformat your drive and set up a new partition table [14:11] figaccio: yikes. that's not an ubuntu problem, though. go ask in #hardware, maybe. [14:11] somicuthbert: that is not an ubuntu issue. We can't help you with that. [14:11] yeats: All I want to do is to get wine going. But it errors out on most exes here, and the debug symbols, even though properly installed it seems, are missing. So I've filed a bug for that. And it usually takes some time to get processed. And that's just what has to happen before I can file a proper bug against wine for the issue I'm having. [14:12] Rovanion: on Fedora? or Ubuntu? [14:12] using brasero i am burning the windows 7 iso to a dvd and it say 100 percent done and is stuck at creating image checksome and it started at 7 mins and its now at 10 minutes is this noramla [14:12] yeats: Fedora, since Ubuntu wouldn't boot [14:12] Hi. I'm without menus in up panel in ubunut 11.04 (unity). Is it appmenu, global-menu issue? Someone can help me fixing it? [14:12] Rovanion: ah - then I would as in #fedora or #winehq [14:12] hipo_: yes. could take a little while for it to finalize [14:12] s/as/ask/ [14:12] Idleone why that cause computer cant fail to such a small thing like that [14:13] yeats: if i format it, i'll loose all my date ... i would like to avoid this [14:13] somicuthbert: I did not understand you [14:13] yeats: Well I figured that I would have my game running sooner if I just tried to install Ubuntu from my running environment. [14:13] I will go and see if I can borrow a CD-drive instead [14:13] figaccio: if your HDD is already only recognizing the smaller partition, your data may already be unrecoverable [14:15] yeats: no, it recognizes a bigger partition ... :) physical space 1TB fdisk detects 2199MB [14:15] IdleOne i saw someone unlock his modem thats is why am asking for thata [14:15] that matter [14:15] figaccio: ok - then tjoy is right - this goes beyond the scope of #ubuntu support :-/ [14:16] somicuthbert: #ubuntu provides support for the Ubuntu OS not for unlocking modems. Please seek support from the modem vendor. [14:16] okay idleone [14:16] yeats: do ubuntu offers some tools for deep scanning the drive and try to rebuild the table? [14:16] figaccio: I don't know - perhaps someone else in channel does though [14:17] Can ubuntu install on NTFS?

[14:20] Olotila: that isn't a command, it is usually a panel plugin [14:21] james0912: try ##windows [14:21] Olotila: it used to be ctrl D in previous versions. [14:21] Total_Oblivion, This will answer all/most of your questions, I hope it helps: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/index.php [14:21] Olotila: or ctrl alt d [14:21] th0r, can i bind a keyboard shortcut to it?

(add a grub entry to recognize the usb hdd) my bios does not support usb boot options so i think the only way is via grub [14:28] mentlementlegen: grub-install should add that option [14:28] guys new to ubuntu, i installed ubuntu 11.10, how do i disable compiz [14:28] god night all :) [14:28] blostoks1: 11.10 support is in #ubuntu+1 [14:28] thanks bastidrazor [14:28] ubuntu 11.04 with unity.

[14:43] Total_Oblivion, (my opinion only!) wubi is a terrible idea, that has been implemented adequately.

[15:09] rapage: if you have seperate /home and / partitions, you can install ubuntu from cd/usb clean, without a socalled upgrade [15:09] How do i change my user name in ubuntu [15:10] bintotem: easier to just create a new user [15:10] Hmm create a new user, itll have everything from this one correct? [15:11] if you copy your setting, yes [15:11] bintotem: no, but you can copy everything you want [15:11] amin`, yes, gdm starts full gnome session. [15:11] so I think yes [15:11] ok, let me go mess with it [15:11] amin`, for consolekit I'm not sure, but for dbus that's not exactly true [15:12] bintotem: just make sure you copy all the invisible folders in your homedir [15:12] amin`, upstart starts dbus, and gdm doesn't start before dbus is ready [15:12] amin`, but gdm doesn't start dbus itself [15:12] what do you mean copy, like literally copy and paste them into the new one? [15:12] bintotem: yeah [15:13] there isnt a simple way of just changing my name? or at least just for my terminal [15:13] bintotem, FYI if you want your new user to be able to use sudo they need to be added to the admin group [15:13] because im using irssi now but osme irc nets wont let me connect because my user on ubuntu is one letter [15:13] bintotem, don't try to rename a user account! create a new one!

[15:15] bintotem: pleasure :) [15:16] Saved me alot of time and trouble i think [15:16] I just want to ask where to get the ubuntu source code or packages? [15:16] jwrigley, [xyproblem] People often falsely diagnose problems because they are looking too closely at a problem: they have got stuck at a particular point (Y) doing something (X) and so ask about step Y, not realising that there is an easier or better way to do X in the first place. See http://mywiki.wooledge.org/XyProblem or http://homepages.tesco.net/J.deBoynePollard/FGA/put-down-the-chocolate-covered-banana.html [15:17] I might be mad, but I thought ubuntu could magically install itself alongside other operating systems, but right now I am only seeing options for replace windws 7, or do all the partitioning manually [15:17] Did I imagine the other thing, or is something wrong with this laptop? [15:17] Is Unity in general meaning refer to Unity3D? [15:17] well again [15:17] my mysql screwed up....great [15:17] I just want to ask where to get the ubuntu source code or packages?

See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [15:18] * jrib wipes dust off xangua [15:18] firas, ubuntu is made up of thousands of individual pieces, called packages - each has it's source code available (unless it's non-free) [15:19] Is Unity in general meaning refer to Unity3D? [15:19] and then if you're a REAL linux user, you use free only! [15:19] ./troll [15:19] xannen, usually, unless you're talking about unity2d ;) [15:19] thanks guys you really helped ( I'm new to linux and linux development) [15:19] xannen: it needs hardware acceleration and compiz if that is what you mean [15:19] ty zykotick9 :D [15:20] I have my ubuntu installation in 3 dif partitions /swap /home and / [15:20] can I do a clean upgrade of ubuntu from that [15:20] my /home partition is ext3 and my / is ext4 [15:20] morning all [15:20] Morning organiks [15:21] rapage, as clean as possible (there is still the possibility of home folder settings causing issues) [15:21] i got this message in my console: 2.4+ kernel w/o ELF notes? -- report this [15:21] what does that mean? [15:21] im trying to use hdparm but i keep getting /dev/hda: No such file or directory [15:22] rapage, upgrade or fresh install?

[15:24] m6locks, good luck with that - sounds like a hardware issue to me. [15:24] Hi, all [15:24] zykotick9: yes, but I was wondering if there were any low-level commands for reset [15:24] alt+sysrq+r doesn't work [15:24] xmodmapping ISO_Level3_Shift does not work [15:25] hello all. [15:25] jwrigley, no you where bang on. to a different question at that point. problem originally presented was X - how do you rename an ubuntu account, and you answered Y - how to rename an irc account ;) Thus it was an example of the x-y problem ;) [15:25] zykotick9, :-( [15:25] anyone care to help a linux noob out? [15:25] Nickel: I think the general IRC rule is "just ask" [15:26] rapage, you can upgrade if you want!

[15:30] okay... [15:30] Unless I run gedit as sudo gedit, I cannot get access to areas that I want to reach regularly. I do not want to have to use sudo to edit with gedit. How do I achieve that? [15:31] I was having issues with Unity and have switched to Unity2D. I was watching DVB-T on VLC in Unity, and after a while, the graphics got laggy. [15:31] Nickel: what desktop environment do you run? [15:31] Unity? [15:31] ubuntu [15:31] Basically, I do not want to have to open terminal every time that I want to run gedit.

[15:50] InFeDeL, I don't know anything about those options you mentioned.

There doing somesthing on harddisk all the time and sometimes have 100% cpu usage on all 4 cores... Any idea what that is and where it comes from? [15:55] hagus: for me aI believe ;-) [15:55] Good morning, i'm a newbie and im having trouble trying to play some games, games start in a black window (with audio) but no image at all, is there anyone who can help me? [15:55] econdudeawesome, you could also try (if you have aptitude installed) "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" and see if you get a different upgrade option [15:55] guys, some how the file association program got screwed up. When I open the file manager and click on a file it always wants to open the file with VLC player. Where do I reset the file extensions in 11.10 alpha [15:56] Dear Ubuntu Experts, is this correct? Q. Can I use Intensity Shuttle on my Linux PC? A. "No, currently there is no isochronous USB 3.0 driver support for Linux. We hope this will change soon." [15:56] chris123: Oneiric/11.10 is not yet released (still beta). Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion [15:56] econdudeawesome: what's the contents of your /etc/kernel/postinst.d/nvidia-common [15:56] I want to mount /dev/sda4 as /media/Misc but it says: "fuse: failed to access mountpoint /media/Misc: No such file or directory" === alyosha_ is now known as alyosha [15:56] waza-ari: nepomuk is the KDE file search/index utility [15:56] tks/ch [15:56] waza-ari: I'm not certain about virtuozo [15:56] hagus: sorry, right that was @ econdudeawesome [15:57] Good morning, i'm a newbie and im having trouble trying to play some games, games start in a black window (with audio) but no image at all, is there anyone who can help me?glxgears also gives me a black window [15:57] explodes, create a directory /media/Misc before trying to mount there === Mud is now known as Guest87912 [15:57] theadmin: any way to turn that off? the only kde application i currently use is kontact... [15:57] * hagus breathes easily [15:57] waza-ari: Why yes, I don't remember how but it's done via the KDE control center thing, type "Nepomuk" in the search there and it'll find it === Aszurom is now known as SysJim [15:58] jwrigley: http://paste.ubuntu.com/692367/ [15:58] hagus: you shouldn't desire to run any root command without password. A better way of solving this would be to change ownership of /var/www [15:58] No one is home there. I had the same issue prior to upgrading on line. So perhaps I may ask the question here as it does apply to the stable release. [15:58] Thanks jwrigley. Sounds good to me. [15:58] hagus: if you make you the owner, you don't need root access. And you don't risk changing stuff that is best left unchanged [15:59] hagus: ;) [15:59] chris123: there are many. Just have some patience [15:59] OK thanks [15:59] theadmin: do you know thats the name of that kde control center thing? i guess i dont even have it installe [16:00] waza-ari: If you have the new KDE menu, it should look something like "System Settings" under Computer in the menu [16:00] is there any hope to have gnome on next ubuntu releases? [16:00] jakeriver: unity runs on top of gnome [16:01] okey [16:01] theadmin: i should have said im using gnome (unity) as display manager... As said, just using kontact as only kde app at all [16:01] i'd like to have a xorg.conf file which i will modify after, however dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesn't provide me that file, how can i do that ? [16:01] !classic|jakeriver, Gnome will always be installed, and you can switch to it like this [16:01] jakeriver, Gnome will always be installed, and you can switch to it like this: 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". [16:01] waza-ari: Ah, okay, well then, no idea, sorry [16:01] waza-ari: Try to killall those apps [16:01] hi [16:01] theadmin, they will be up at next boot then... and there a lot of them... [16:02] okey, thank you really helped :) [16:02] waza-ari: Check /etc/init and your desktop's startup apps, then [16:02] I've just booted into an old Ubuntu disc in order to fix up my boot. Windows 8 stuffed up my boot manager... how do I reinitiate Ubuntu's GRUB, and populate its lst automatically? [16:02] econdudeawesome: no error in the file.. :( [16:02] econdudeawesome: were you able to run aptitude? [16:02] !restoregrub | AlecTaylor [16:03] !grub2 | AlecTaylor [16:03] AlecTaylor: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [16:03] jwrigley: same issue (aptit. runs, but has same error) [16:03] Phew, lucky I found the 10.10 disc :] [16:04] boot-repair? - Woh, they finally released a GUI/automated tool for this! [16:04] YAY [16:04] how do I move the task bars from one monitor to another? [16:04] econdudeawesome: you can't deselect (":") the upgrade? [16:04] n [16:04] haha, that looks like a smiley (":") [16:04] ??? [16:05] is it possible to get the latest xorg version ? (the 2.8 or 2.9) [16:05] jwrigley: no, ive run upgrades many many times. AFAIK the system thinks the upgrades have taken hold [16:05] AlecTaylor: "yay"? What's so good about that? It allows Ubuntu users to have no deep system knowledge even more :/ [16:05] haha [16:05] true [16:05] xangua, i mean this (third and second one) http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/intensity/models/ [16:05] jwrigley: and it does look like a smiley--small moustache [16:05] Wuuu.IRC [16:05] econdudeawesome: just the kernel-upgrade, not the rest [16:06] * econdudeawesome: just disable the kernel-upgrades [16:06] jwrigley: im not sure how to do that? I run sudo aptitude, then shift+;? [16:07] I hate Unity... not from a technical or user point of view, although it does make it hard to do things that used to be easy, but from a "oh crumbs, how the hell will I ever explain this to my parents" point of view [16:08] !classic | dashavoo [16:08] dashavoo: 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". [16:08] dashavoo: hence the reason you can select classic at login ;-) [16:08] econdudeawesome: press g once, that should take you to the list of packages changes. Then select each line and press shift+; [16:08] Does anyone ever used any HDMI/TV capture card in Ubuntu 11.04? Does it work in Ubuntu? [16:08] I can't run the Boot-Repair utility. (log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/692371/) What should I do? [16:08] theadmin, econdudeawesome: currently that is what I do on one of their computers, but sooner or later (i.e when the LTS runs out on 11.04) that will no longer be an option [16:09] asdf [16:09] theadmin: no offence, but it is very annoying that you respond to everything with a command to the bot [16:09] How do you capture Playstation 3 games using HDMI in Ubuntu? [16:09] dashavoo: True. Well, there's a fork of Gnome2 worked on, and it'll probably get to Ubuntu repos by the time that happens [16:09] dashavoo: Also, I do that just cause it's faster than typing everything yourself [16:10] econdudeawesome: when you are done, press g, again. If nothing happens quit. then try aptitude -f install [16:10] jwrigley: it does not let me deselect, since they are partially installed [16:10] theadmin: I've been checking out the fork now and then. I am worried that it is going to die fairly quickly though. [16:10] theadmin: that is true [16:10] what command do i put in a launcher to open /opt/vuze/azureus? /opt/vuze/azureus and /opt/vuze/.azureus do not work [16:10] Playstation 3 HDMI cable connect to a capture card but Ubuntu has driver issues. Which one really works? Is it me only trying no body tried in 11.04? [16:10] dashavoo: Try out Xfce, it's "almost" gnome2 [16:10] theadmin, I wouldn't bet on mate getting into the ubuntu repos... [16:10] jwrigley: the only packages that need installing, it says, are the kernel updates and nspluginwrapper (which I haven't used since I use 64-bit flash) [16:11] glebihan: Well, at least someone might make a PPA :D [16:11] Ubuntu 11.04, HDMI capture card with driver which one works? I tried Blackmagic does not work, anything else. [16:11] hmmm, I had forgotten about Xfce... I haven't used it for years [16:11] How do I install the grub from sda5 into the MBR? [16:12] econdudeawesome: do you have multiple kernels installed? [16:12] jwrigley: I believe so [16:12] dashavoo: It's my main desktop for quite a while now, I enjoy it :) [16:12] jwrigley: I started with 10.04 on this machine, haven't reinstalled since, just upgraded [16:12] Should i use Windows 7 or 8? Ubuntu 11.04 which capture card works? [16:13] econdudeawesome: you could do a ls /boot/ to check [16:13] hello [16:13] IamTrying: Windows 8 isn't too bad, but not worth switching to [16:14] AlecTaylor, MAC also works and Windows also works. Ubuntu no capture card works any reason of this? [16:14] jwrigley: yes, I have multiple installed [16:14] hello a little help here please, having trouble with graphics [16:14] !details gordoleon [16:14] econdudeawesome: you might be able to do dpkg -r linux-image-2.6.38-10-generic [16:15] Ubuntu 11.04, what is wrong with Blackmagic HDMI capture cards? none works. [16:15] jwrigley: I'll give it a shot [16:15] !details | gordoleon [16:15] gordoleon: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." === sonic_ is now known as Guest34381 [16:16] jwrigley: it did something... what is the expected (good) outcome?

[16:16] jwrigley: http://paste.ubuntu.com/692378/ [16:17] I have a newbie question: I put grub on sda7. Where did it go? Does each partition have a mbr? [16:17] IamTrying: This might be worth looking at for you: http://cygwin.com === marco is now known as Guest29803 [16:17] w30: You should put grub on /dev/sda [16:17] w30: Putting it on a partition is usually not what you want [16:17] theadmin, i just want Ubuntu + Capture card support (HDMI/ DVI) [16:18] theadmin, no, I have fedora grub on sda [16:18] theadmin, chainloading [16:18] w30: I see, well, that's up to you [16:19] theadmin, is there a mbr section on every partition? [16:20] w30: no, its 1 mbr per disk [16:20] theadmin, I got it working I just want to know why [16:20] Windows, MAC operating system. HDMI/Playstation capture cards works like plug-n-play. Is there any plug-n-play Ubuntu compatible capture card for HDMI? [16:20] w30: Nay, mbr is at the beginning on each drive [16:21] econdudeawesome: that sounds mostly good, do you have initrd.img.old and vmlinuz.old files in / [16:21] IamTrying: Be patient. When someone knows, they will reply. [16:21] how can I find packages that depend on liblqr-1-0? [16:21] I want to see if there is a package that installs liquid-resize support for imagemgick [16:21] bencc: apt-cache rdepends liblqr-1-0 [16:22] theadmin, ok sorry, its very busy room. I am moving my eyes and all text disappear so i was asking to see myself alive. === mike is now known as Guest81516 [16:22] jwrigley: no *.old files in "ls /" [16:22] IamTrying: Post on the forums and/or askubuntu.com in the meantime [16:23] How do you move the taskbars to a new monitor? [16:23] theadmin: thanks. found several libmagick... packages. need to see which one is needed [16:23] theadmin, ok excellent idea, i think here i wont find my answer. I just need HDMI capture card which is 100% compatible with Ubuntu 11.04 to use in Gimp/Java/Video4 linux. [16:24] theadmin, so I have a mbr section area on each partition whether there is a boot on it or not, right? [16:24] w30: no [16:24] econdudeawesome: alright any vmlinuz and initrd.img ? [16:24] theadmin, the first 512 mb [16:24] w30: No, MBR is the beginning of the DRIVE, before the partition ara [16:24] s/ara/area/; [16:24] w30: its one mbr at the beginning of the drive [16:25] jwrigley: yes [16:25] IamTrying: Cygwin [16:25] Hi, guys! Quick question how can I check in (X)Ubuntu or in terminal how much free space I have? [16:25] when i add a thrid party repo, is it too much to ask to also automatically search for and install the proper public key? [16:25] good [16:25] gigenieks, df -h [16:25] gigenieks: df -h [16:25] if you do ls -l / where does vmlinuz point to? [16:25] AlecTaylor, thank you, i saw the source code of it, not so nice for me. [16:25] *econdudeawesome: if you do ls -l / where does vmlinuz point to? [16:26] theadmin, so grub writes to the beginning of a partition that you choose or else to the mbr [16:26] bsmith093: If you use add-apt-repository, it will try to do that for you [16:26] w30: Yeah [16:26] ha [16:26] theadmin: oh, um wow thanks, i feel like an ass now. [16:26] I have an nvidia card, in 'additional drivers', there are 2 cards listed, one is 173 and the other 'current', current says 'this driver is activated but not currently in use'. which one is in use? [16:26] How do I install the grub from sda5 into the MBR? [16:27] anybody can help me with a graphics problem? [16:28] theadmin, and then if you chainload your bootloader looks at the first part of your named partition automatically [16:28] AlecTaylor: boot into sda5 and then run: sudo grub-install /dev/sda [16:28] AlecTaylor: or install-grub (i can never remember which way around it is) [16:28] hi, is it possible to make xubuntu 11.04 bypass the sound volume limit like ubuntu11.04, i already tried to get help in #xubuntu but got no response [16:29] bsmith093: lol no problem [16:29] w30: Yes, I beleive that is correct [16:29] ThinkT510: Can't boot into it, that's why I'm running from a 10.10 bootcd [16:29] theadmin, thanks [16:29] * econdudeawesome: if you do ls -l / where does vmlinuz point to? [16:30] i fixed my problem following this solution : http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Intel_GMA#Backlight_off_at_boot_on_4500M what would be the equivalent persistent solution as there is no /etc/local.d on ubuntu ? [16:30] boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-11-generic [16:30] jwrigley: boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-11-generic [16:30] AlecTaylor: you could use supergrub rescue disk to boot into it === hacked is now known as vinces [16:31] jwrigley: sorry, didn't see your message earlier (sytax highlighting in irssi didnt't catch * ;-)) [16:32] econdudeawesome: I thought as much :) now sudo update-grub [16:32] econdudeawesome: Try /hilight blah to highlight "blah" whenever it's met inside a post. [16:32] econdudeawesome: By default irssi only highlights your name if it's at the beginning, so [16:32] theadmin you rock, thanks [16:33] jwrigley: i ran sudo update-grub, ls -l / reports the same results [16:34] econdudeawesome: np [16:34] econdudeawesome: fine, what does aptitude say? [16:34] Hi trying to find out if my rtc alarm is setup correctly. Can date command use the value from rtc and tell me in local time when is it set? [16:36] is there a way to convert in place a raidz-2 to a standard raidz in ZFS? [16:36] AcetoneISO says "NOTE: It is NOT possible to mount multi-sector images" what should i do with .iso file then ? [16:36] jwrigley: sudo aptitude, OR sudo aptitude -f install? [16:36] jeeves_moss: Linux doesn't use zfs [16:36] jeeves_moss: the license stopped it getting in the kernel, [16:36] ikonia, it does if you use it through fuse [16:36] i fixed my problem following this solution : http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Intel_GMA#Backlight_off_at_boot_on_4500M what would be the equivalent persistent solution as there is no /etc/local.d on ubuntu ? [16:36] rabbi1: You can use the following command: "sudo mount -o loop something.iso /somewhere" [16:36] econdudeawesome: either [16:37] jeeves_moss: so how can fuse modify a file system to "convert" ? [16:37] jeeves_moss: it's a pass through, nothing more. [16:37] jeeves_moss: there are no zfs tools or anything like that [16:38] theadmin: tried that first, gave me its "wrong fs type, bad option" [16:38] rabbi1: Sounds like a bad ISO to me [16:38] ikonia, I have a 4.56Tb ZFS partition setup, and for some reason the 2 500Gb drives I added wern't added to the pool correctly, so I can't remove them to readd them to the proper partition [16:38] jeeves_moss: no, as there are no zfs tools [16:39] * jiltdil ikonia zfs-fuse [16:39] jwrigley: same error [16:39] theadmin: but AcetoneISO says something else [16:39] ikonia, has it been mentioned in the new release yet that they're going to mainstream the code, or haven't they got past the GPL yet? === GHost is now known as Guest90616 [16:39] jiltdil: they are not zfs tools....it is a pass through like ssh [16:39] jeeves_moss: not there yet [16:39] jiltdil: the same way you can't modify your ssh config using sshfs over fuse [16:39] I'm getting this error message from ubuntu server ' is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. ' [16:39] rabbi1: Works perfectly fine on a regular ISO here: https://pzt.me/5c9i [16:39] econdudeawesome: exactly? or a little shorter? it should be shorter... [16:40] Guest90616: your user is is not an authorized sudoer, the user needs to be in the "admin" group [16:40] ikonia i know i just said it is not tool it is fuse [16:40] ikonia, ok, I'm in the process of "testing" on my local NAS before I deploy it on a 32Tb server in production [16:40] theadmin: thanks, will have a look [16:40] :) [16:40] My whole ubuntu partition is set to read-only, how can I find that? :( Chown doesn't work [16:40] jiltdil: so why did you correct me saying zfs fuse when I said there was no tools [16:40] ikoniahow would i make it as admin ? [16:40] ikonia, if they could make it native, it'll fly. But there is a LOT of "tuning" that needs to be done to make it a production powerhouse [16:41] jeeves_moss: I use it every day on Solaris, so I fully appreciate it, but it's not in Linux so I live without [16:41] ikonia: just see above i write only zfs-fuse i didn't use the word "tool" yet [16:41] kvarley, the root-partition is usually remounted as read-only, when errors were noticed [16:41] jwrigley: http://paste.ubuntu.com/692394/ [16:41] Guest90616: is this your machine / do you administrate it [16:41] ikonia, well, never know, I just might deploy the freeSolaris on this production box, but I don't want to relearn yet another OS [16:41] jiltdil: ok - why did you make the pointless comment "zfs-fuse" after I said there are no zfs tools [16:41] theadmin: what's in that? I already have 10 more pages suggesting how to get .iso contents :) [16:41] rumpe1: So...What does that mean? [16:42] well I have the server right beside me and i accessing through my openssh === Jasonn is now known as JasonnAWAY [16:42] Guest90616: that's not what I asked [16:42] ikonia oh man relax..ok i'm sorry that i write zfs-fuse no discusson please [16:42] kvarley, that means that it would probably be better to analyze, _why_ it is mounted readonly [16:42] what is this multi-sector images and how can i extract it if not with AcetoneISO [16:42] ikonia, just wondering why when I added the last 2 500Gb drives to the "pool", they added like this. http://pastebin.com/h8YVVwh8 [16:42] why can i connect too one computers samba share on my windows 7 but on another server i cant connect it is trying to use my pc name as the domain ? [16:42] rumpe1: Ah ok, thanks for your help, I shall investigate [16:42] Guest90616: is this your server - do you admin it [16:42] jiltdil: if you're going to help people, help them, don't make pointless comments [16:42] ikonia, and is it harming the way the pool is laied out? [16:42] ikonia yes i am [16:43] Guest90616: what happened to the user you setup when the machine was installed [16:43] hi, i solved my screen problem (http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Intel_GMA#Backlight_off_at_boot_on_4500M) but now i've got an empty desktop not even a panel or anything. The background works as i can create a folder but that's all [16:43] rabbi1: Since it works, well, something's probably just wrong with your ISO [16:43] jeeves_moss: it's not a problem, should be fine, if you jump into #solaris you'll get more / better help [16:43] ikonia, I set it up as a raidz-2 pool to test to see if one of the drives can tank before I pushed it to production [16:43] ikonia but i have never have this problem its a fresh installed server . I think i type into different user names [16:43] jeeves_moss: as in the channel #solaris [16:43] Is there any program that can stream sound over ethernet to another device? I have uShare set up to stream to my Xbox since I have no speakers for my computer, but that only streams existing files, I'd like to be able to play something, say on Youtube, and stream the sound to my Xbox. Would that be possible? === skoef_ is now known as skoef [16:43] ikonia, ok, thank. I'm off. [16:43] Is there by chance anyone online by the name of Terr or [deXter] ? [16:43] theadmin: hmm, may be, will check out then, thank you [16:44] Guest90616: what happened to the user you setup when you installed the server [16:44] ikonia, do you know if adding a SSD drive as the cache drive is worth the time/investment, or should I just add a RAM PCI card, or allocate some RAM to the cache disk? [16:45] ikonia it ask me what user name you want it to be i type enter as X and then it ask me again I type in Y === amit is now known as Guest40624 [16:45] dzen and trayer are the same kind application or complete each other (for Xmonad)? [16:45] ikonia would u recommened me to reboot the server and go into recovery mode and do a sudo adduser x admin [16:46] Guest90616: the user needs to be in the admin group, put it in how you feel confortable [16:46] ikonia, is there anyway i can find out how many user is created in the admin group in ubuntu server? [16:46] Guest90616: it only creates 1 [16:47] anyone has an idea how can i get wifi on hp 625 notebook? ive actually done it before i just dont remember the commands. i have a broadcom chipset and ive installed under addiotional drivers the broadcom wireless sta driver. now when i run iwconfig it shows that eth1 is wireless driver [16:47] Guest90616: hence why your user is not in it [16:47] shouldnt it be wlan0? [16:47] taavi_: Broadcom drivers create eth* interfaces [16:47] taavi_: It's normal, nothing to worry about [16:48] ikonia i have no single clue, i can't even do sudo shutdown -r on a ssh it said : shutdown: Need to be root [16:48] ikonia, oh wait .. does landscape affects the way [16:48] Guest90616: correct, because you need to be in the admin group - put the user in the admin group [16:48] econdudeawesome: that looks quite different, I thought perhaps it was just 2 misinstalled kernels, but that looks more serious, you have glibc errors spurting out memory dumps.. do you remember when it started? were you doing anything in particular? meddling with anything, you might recall= [16:48] theadmin : well under network connections it doesnt show up [16:48] hmm. Might have changed or added a symbolic link for glibc when I installed Matlab [16:48] ikonia i remember now i have it manage by landscape something, does that affect how i sudo/admin rights? [16:48] taavi_: Just configure it yourself or use wicd, networkmanager sucks [16:49] Right then. I'm trying to install Ubuntu, for which I would like to create a new partition; I must first shrink my NTFS 'C' partition, which has my Windows OS and my files on it. The problem is, that Partition has a Bad Sector in it, and GParted (which i'm running off of an ubuntu disk) refuses to work around it. I was referred last night by a [deXter] to do diagnostics on my Hard Drive,... [16:49] ...which I did, but which didn't actually help anything. [16:49] jwrigley: hmmm, might have. I remember messing around with glibc symbolic links when I installed matlab, to fix an error. But I replicated the process on other machines and saw no errors [16:49] Guest90616: you're not listening, [16:49] theadmin : il try my way with wicd :P [16:50] FoxtrotZero: you don't fix bad sectors, that is the drive dying, you may need to get a new one [16:50] dzen and trayer are the same kind application or complete each other (for Xmonad)? [16:50] FoxtrotZero: back up what you need before it is too late [16:51] econdudeawesome: no, I don't think that would do it. If you only played with symbolic links it would either fail completely -- nearly every program uses glibc -- or not at all [16:51] jwrigley: at this point, considering how serious the issue is, I may just reinstall 11.04 on the partition (data is saved on a separate partition, so that doesn't concern me) [16:51] ThinkT510: I know what a Bad Sector is, and I know you can't fix it, but it's been there for a long time, without trouble. Getting a new one is out of the question right now, and the data I particularly care about is safe. Nobody is willing to help me with my problem, and that's forcing gparted to work around the bad sector. [16:51] jwrigley: I appreciate the help though [16:52] FoxtrotZero: likely there is more than one bad sector. Take a look at disk utility to see more info. If there are two many bad sectors then gparted will refuse to partition. I'm not sure there is a way to force it. [16:52] econdudeawesome: I would think that to be the best idea. However, when you format the partition, do a slow format. it might be bad sectors causing trouble [16:53] jwrigley: you think? [16:53] FoxtrotZero: in Terminal, there's the command badblocks [16:53] edbian: According to the diagnostics I ran on the Hard Drive, there is only one bad sector. GParted says there is a way to force it to partition, but i'm currently in Windows, not ubuntu, so I can't quote it verbatim. [16:53] FoxtrotZero: I'm not sure then. [16:54] MonkeyDust: I have to remind you, i'm in the process of installing ubuntu. You're going to have to be a little more descriptive, I don't know what Terminal is. [16:54] FoxtrotZero: If there was 1 bad sector the HDD would have simply used 1 from the pool of extra sectors. Is the pool already used up and now there is a bad one? [16:54] FoxtrotZero: do you have a GUI (not command-line) [16:54] FoxtrotZero: Terminal is the command prompt [16:54] FoxtrotZero: typically a given harddrive will have dozens of bad sectors depending on how old it is (3 or 4 years in this example) [16:54] jwrigley: thanks man, take it easy [16:55] econdudeawesome: no worries, man. any time [16:55] at gdm screen i have the choice between ubuntu/ubuntu classic. How can i set Ubuntu Classic as the default one ? [16:55] nameless`: use ubuntu classic once... [16:55] jwrigley: ok :) [16:56] edbian: I don't know, but the computer is around five years old. It's only reported one bad sector for as long as i've had it, which was secondhand from my father a few years ago. Edondudeawesome, yes, but i'm currently working in WinXP. And Monkeydust, unless you can tell me how to use Terminal to make Gparted resize the partition... [16:56] jwrigley: i fixed my problem though ! [16:56] the system that I've speced out is a 24 bay, 2U server. drive wise, it would be a mirrored set of 160Gb drives (OS partition), 4 54Gb SSD drives (MySQL and fast encoding disks) on a 4 port battery backed up SATA RAID card (512Bm RAM), and 16 1Tb (or 2Tb if I can get the finding) as one large ZFS raidz-2 parition. 16 3Ghz cores, and 128Gb of PC5200 RAM. can anyone see a bottleneck here? [16:56] nameless`: cool, what did the trick? [16:56] jwrigley: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Intel_GMA#Backlight_off_at_boot_on_4500M [16:56] jwrigley: it seemed to be an unresolved bug [16:57] jwrigley: i put the setpci command in rc.local and it did the trick [16:57] FoxtrotZero: try booting from a ubuntu live cd and use gparted from there [16:58] MonkeyDust: That's exactly what i'm doing. Like I said, GParted refuses to resize the partition because of the bad sector, but it says there is some -bad-sectors command or something I can use to force ntfsresize to ignore the bad sector. [16:59] nameless`: cool. [16:59] Does Mark Shuttleworth have a public email, or only contact to him is Launchpad? [16:59] nameless`: Does that mean you were working in total darkness before? I thought you were just trying to set the resolution... [17:00] theadmin : i have the wicd daemon running, but i cant see it anywhere to my system to configure [17:00] jwrigley: no, i could boot with the nomodeset option in grub and with vesa driver. But i was stuck in a very bad resolution (1024x768 on a 16:9 screen) [17:00] taavi_: Um, you should run wicd-gtk so it appears in your tray [17:01] jwrigley: so i deleted the nomodeset and i type the command in the darkness :) [17:02] how i change my self to admin at the recovery mode? or make it have rights for sudo and even root? [17:02] Guest90616: sudo adduser username admin [17:03] theadmin it says admin doesn't exist? [17:03] Guest90616: Huh?... [17:03] Guest90616: you've been told [17:03] Guest90616: you need to add the user you are using to the admin group === alyosha_ is now known as alyosha [17:04] Guest90616: you need to do this from a recovery shell OR the user you setup the system with when you first installed it [17:04] Guest90616: You can also try "sudo usermod -aG admin username" [17:04] MonkeyDust: Perhaps there is another program that's more willing to work around the bad sector? Do you know of any for Windows? [17:04] ikonia i'm already in reocvery shell [17:04] root too [17:04] which package has the add-apt-repository? tia [17:04] FoxtrotZero: can't help with win, haven't used it for years [17:05] MonkeyDust: Yeah, I assumed this would be the wrong place to ask about that. I'll do some research, see if I can find a good Windows partitioning program. [17:05] FoxtrotZero: try ##windows [17:05] !add-apt-repository [17:05] MonkeyDust: Thanks for the assistance anyway. I understand the Hard Drive's life might be coming to a close, but replacing it simply isn't an option. [17:05] MonkeyDust: Is that a channel? [17:06] FoxtrotZero: yes, double hash [17:06] theadmin is gave me errror:' usermod: group 'admin' doesn't exist' [17:06] nameless`: brilliant! Add an Indiana Jones sound track and a great abyss (rm -rf /), and there's your movie. :) [17:06] Guest90616: You seriously made some mess there [17:07] theadmin indeed i'm totally at lost i just installed a fresh and some how i messed it up [17:07] Guest90616: is this an ubuntu install? === vlbhav is now known as vibhav [17:07] jrib its a server.

I got a lappy from my comany and they "customized" ubuntu and now dhcp seems boorked I get no liases from my modem what can I do? [17:26] Frederick: Is this ethernet? [17:26] Frederick: Talk to your IT folks. That's what they're paid for. [17:27] Frederick: speak to your company - we shouldn't change their settings [17:27] Corey: that is not a good answer IMHO [17:27] Should I be worried about a "reinst-required" message from dpkg? http://pastebin.com/TvZgjjJr [17:27] ikonia: im the it folk [17:27] ikonia: Could be he just has no dhcpcd running for some reason [17:27] terr: it's the best answer to give [17:27] Frederick: then you should know how they customised it [17:27] theadmin, I mean why alt-f1 switches, not only ctrl-alt-f1 (from X session of course) [17:27] I think we should have a utility which checks the configs and tells us what is borked [17:27] theadmin: enabling it could be against company policy and get him into trouble, hence the guys in IT who customised it should help him [17:27] Therstrium: yes ethernet and U di have dhcp running [17:27] terr: We don't know what they changed, or hwhat policies matter. [17:27] lexx_it: Oh, that'd be weird to happen [17:27] ikonia: company has 10.000 employes I'm on other sector for sakes [17:28] Frederick: contact the IT group who modified it and ask them to help you resolve it, it's their build, not our standard ubuntu one [17:28] I've been in the situation quite a number of times where a stupid config is borked and it takes me hours to track down the problem... and I've got consultants I can call!

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [17:56] hi [17:56] its not installed [17:57] I have 10.10 and want to go to 11.04, if I download the ISO can I upgrade from it without having to burn the image? [17:57] qbert65536: Then, you have to install it, I suppose [17:57] i'm trying to use conky to display weather, http://paste.ubuntu.com/692433/ i have some troubles, if any can have a look please [17:57] KrashKing: You can't upgrade using the ISO, use update-manager [17:57] theadmin, hehe yeah :) [17:57] KrashKing, you can just use the update manager [17:57] afraid of that, sandboxed computer [17:57] KrashKing: Or, download an AlternateCD [17:57] KrashKing: Then, you can mount the ISO image and upgrade [17:58] hi [17:58] just installed ubuntu 11.04 but howevere the login screen is broken, even if i manage login, it goes nowhere.. any idea ? === Zephr0`afk is now known as Zephr0 [18:01] Okay, time for a guru challenge question.... [18:02] I have a usb touch screen - lshal and lsusb both show that it is recognize and I see that I need to use the hidtouch driver for it - so installed that, created a /etc/udev/init.d/99-mydevices with the device in there but ls /dev/usb still shows only hiddev0..hiddev2 - what am I missing [18:02] i need to automatically run a bunch of commands as root during each startup, but not before the ethernet connection is established to my router (fully manual config, dont use dhcp & co)... any ideas? [18:02] aperture: Ask first, most of people who say that ask really noobish questions :P [18:02] Hans_Henrik: /etc/crontab [18:03] Hans_Henrik: ifup [18:03] on a computer was a windows xp install and a windows 7 install. The windows 7 install had a virus, and after some failures now the MBR is messed up. So, booting into 10.04 disc (checksummed and all) leads to it constantly crashing. Occasionally it gets into steps for installing. But once it hits step 3, it will crash. So. How can I wipe the harddrive and put ubuntu on there? [18:03] Hans_Henrik: echo "@reboot /path/to/script/to/run.sh" >> /etc/crontab # And you're all set [18:03] Hans_Henrik: crontab is not the way to go since it will happen at THE TIME specified rather than when you have a connection [18:03] just installed ubuntu 11.04 but howevere the login screen is broken, even if i manage login, it goes nowhere.. any idea ? tried reinstall again its the same.. also tried wubi no difference.. [18:04] aperture: sudo fdisk /dev/sda , after that type in "o", then "w" and finally reboot, and now try again [18:04] aperture: Without any quotes [18:04] Will this set my $DERBY_HOME variable? export DERBY_HOME=/opt/derby [18:05] theadmin: type that into where? [18:05] theadmin: can i specify "only once during startup" in /etc/crontab ? [18:05] aperture: in the Terminal command prompt [18:05] Hans_Henrik: @reboot is the way [18:05] aperture: Um, a terminal? [18:05] Heyall. I'm having a strange monitor issue. I have two screen of different specs and one nv GPU. If I use TwinView I get screen tearing like an old TV broadcast out of synch, but in Separate X Screen mode the wrong screen gets set as the main one. Any help/guidance? [18:06] MonkeyDust: Yes, but how can I get to the terminal once I boot from disc? Any specific key I have to hit? [18:06] Hi My Ubuntu get Stuck while Shut Down at The Fourth Dot. I'm using ubuntu 10.10 [18:07] aperture: After booted, Ctrl+Alt+T should get you into one [18:07] i want to do dual booting with w7. Should i choose install Ubuntu alongisde w7 or somthing else? [18:08] theadmin: I can't actually boot into the LiveCD environment though. Only get to the specific menu (with bootable options for ubuntu), and I hit "Install ubuntu" instead of "try without installing" in order to even get to the installer. [18:09] aperture: Ah... That's odd [18:09] Hi My Ubuntu get Stuck while Shut Down at The Fourth Dot. I'm using ubuntu 10.10. Any Suggestions? [18:09] hey guys, if i have a x86 based pc, what version of ubuntu should i download, x32 or x64? [18:09] x32 [18:09] mattmurray28: x32, duh [18:09] cool [18:09] thanks [18:09] theadmin: Indeed. using a windows 7 installer disc generates blue screens, while in ubuntu it just freezes the system. Hard drive failure you think? [18:09] im a bit of a noob :P [18:09] cheers [18:09] cya [18:10] mattmurray28: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:10] aperture: Could be, indeed [18:10] theadmin: Also, I have had ubuntu on the system before, but that was years ago [18:10] just installed ubuntu 11.04 but howevere the login screen is broken, even if i manage login, it goes nowhere.. tried reinstall again its the same.. also tried wubi no difference.. any idea ? [18:10] ErKaN: What if you select a failsafe GNOME session at the login screen? [18:11] recovery mode Jordan_U ? [18:12] ErKaN: It's not the same as the recovery mode option at boot if that's what you're asking. [18:12] hello :) [18:12] does anyone else have trouble booting 11.10 server ? [18:12] synackfin: #ubuntu+1 [18:12] Jordan_U: i can't choose anything in login screen, coz its seperated 2 window weirdly [18:13] Hi My Ubuntu get Stuck while Shut Down at The Fourth Dot. I'm using ubuntu 10.10. Any Suggestions? [18:15] Okay, so the only guy in ##windows who was able to help with my problem is no longer helping. He had me run a diagnostic of my Hard Drive - I have it pastebinned if anyone wants to see it. I imagine i'm speaking to a new audience, so my problem is that in my pursuit of an ubuntu install, I need to shrink a partition and create a new one, which is hampered by a bad sector that I need to... [18:15] ...somehow 'repair'. [18:16] or buy a ne HD ;) [18:17] Xangua: You're not the first to suggest that. Can you imagine that I have not thought of that? I assure you, acquiring a new Hard Drive is entirely out of the question, particularly when this one wasn't giving me any trouble until I decided I wanted to screw with partitions... [18:18] FoxtrotZero: Do you know which sector it is? If so, you can use dd to simply write to that sector which will usually cause the drive to remap it. [18:20] how to remove manually compiled packages? (jack 1.9.7) [18:20] Jordan_U: No, I don't personally know what sector it is. Theoretically, I could go back into the Samsung HDD diagnostic program, run the disk scan until it stumbles on the bad block again, and then write down the number it uses to identify it... [18:21] Hello. Is it possible to upgrade from 32bit to 64bit? How about a cross-distro 32 to 64bit upgrade for example 32bit debian to 64bit ubuntu? [18:21] anAngel: no [18:21] anAngel: No, not possible [18:22] anAngel: backup what you need and fresh install 64bit [18:23] how to remove manually compiled packages? (jack 1.9.7) [18:23] raven_: the same way you installed it, reading the instructions ;) [18:23] raven_: The only option is to remove all files manually, normally. [18:23] raven_: For the future, use "checkinstall" when compiling manually. === skoef_ is now known as skoef [18:26] http://i.imgur.com/UksXB.png [18:26] wtf.

But i will wait some time and ask again if someone else answers [18:28] LynxLite: move on please [18:28] ah ok [18:28] boring [18:28] LynxLite: Was I somehow unclear with "it requires no comment?" [18:28] ok ok [18:28] anAngel: the answer will not change if that is what you think [18:28] installed ubuntu 11.04 but however the login screen is seperated to two window, even if i manage login, it goes nowhere.. tried reinstall again its the same.. also tried wubi no difference.. any idea ? [18:28] I'll move on [18:29] anAngel: you cannot upgrade from 32 to 64bit, period. [18:30] xangua, the native maverick packages are installed correctly (/usr/bin/qjackctl) but i cannot open it via "/usr/bin/qjackctl" - what is going on here!!!? [18:30] anAngel: Urm, you can wait forever if you'd like-- it doesn't change that no distribution that I'm aware of lets you.. oh. [18:31] anAngel: you cannot upgrade from 32 to 64bit, period. === malina is now known as MalawiEh [18:31] * MalawiEh : looking for vodka [18:31] anAngel: Urm, you can wait forever if you'd like-- it doesn't change that no distribution that I'm aware of lets you install 64 bit from a 32 bit environment. [18:32] xangua: i just wandered if it is possible since i happened to see this article: http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/hobbies/debian_arch_up/ .and thought it might be helpfull if it was really possible [18:32] What driver do I have to load for my motherboard's onboard serial port? [18:32] bwallen: i wouldn't have thought you'd have to [18:33] anAngel, and did you read the first sentence ? "This procedure is, in every possible respect, a bad idea." [18:33] ThinkT510: Is that because the driver is already pre-compiled into the Ubuntu kernel? [18:33] bwallen: i would have thought so [18:34] I'm having an issue with Empathy connecting to MSN, just says disconnected, no reason specified. [18:35] FoxtrotZero: http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/badblockhowto.html [18:36] where can i add a script to be launched after recovering from sleep ?

The main cursor arrow just refuses to change, although the status versions of it did [18:39] raven_: What do you mean by "links"? [18:40] Jordan_U, what you type in to shell [18:40] why won't it respect my authori-tay!? [18:40] raven_: Commands? [18:40] Jordan_U, yes [18:40] Aszurom: you mean in nautilus¿¿ nautilus -q [18:41] Jordan_U, /usr/bin/jackd: symbol lookup error: /usr/bin/jackd: undefined symbol: clock_source [18:41] raven_: "apt-cache policy packagename" (please do *not* copy and paste the output of that command into the channel). [18:41] I have a .deb file which I'm trying to install, although when I click on it I get the error "error: dependency is not satisfiable: debhelper (>= 5.0)" [18:41] Xangua, yes. I'm running whatever the default window manager is when you're in non-unity mode [18:41] I think this is nautilus [18:42] Solved, what version of Ubuntu are you running? [18:42] 10.04 [18:42] Solved, what are you trying to install ? On which version of ubuntu ? [18:42] raven_: Have you been installing software without using apt-get / software center / other package manager front ends? [18:42] Jordan_U, "installed: 0" [18:42] glebihan: A driver which allows my wifi antannea to work [18:42] I'm using ubuntu(pyrobot) full install on an older machine.

Not my computer, but a friend and knows nothing about alsamixer or any way to set sound in linux box. Please Help. [18:42] Jordan_U, yes i compiled it by hand and want to return to distri-native-packages [18:43] hey guys, i just loaded ubuntu live cd into my computer, and it come up with a command prompt saying busybox v1.17.1 built in shell [18:43] and expects me to type something [18:43] what can i do to stop this please? [18:43] mattmurray28: Sounds like it can't boot [18:43] oh weird, and it does have the correct cursor when I'm interacting with an adobe air application [18:43] Aszurom: nautilus -q [18:43] as i've told you [18:44] so theadmin, what can i do about it? [18:44] raven_: This is why compiling from source rather than using something properly packaged is to be avoided. If you still have the source directory then enter it and "sudo make uninstall". [18:44] xangua, run that at command line? Didn't seem to produce any output or effect [18:44] Solved, what does "sudo apt-get install debhelper" say ? [18:44] Jordan_U, no i have not..... [18:44] mattmurray28: Pretty much nothing, just hope for the developers to fix it in the future/add support for your hardware. Try other distributions in the meantime [18:45] Alright, I've google'd it. Empathy won't connect to MSN for me. Removing telepathy-butterfly like most have doesn't work for me. Actually makes it worse, gives me 'Network Error' instead of 'Disconnected -- No reason specified' [18:45] i just tried again and it came up with the ubuntu logo and loading [18:45] so see what appends after [18:45] raven_: Can you get the exact same source directory again, and do you remember exactly what options you used? [18:45] xangua, if you just want to restart nautilus, I've even rebooted the whole system and this persisted [18:45] false: why would remove the msn plugin supposed to fix it :S [18:45] Jordan_U, not sure.... [18:46] Aszurom: bad luck then, sorry [18:46] :( same thing again [18:46] can not mount /dev/loop0 theadmin [18:46] xangua, That's the 'fix' I was finding on every forum post. [18:47] mattmurray28: Ah, sounds like the disk wasn't recorded properly [18:47] cool [18:47] so i shall re-burn the image? [18:47] false, are you referring to nautilus -q? [18:48] glebihan: the computer which I'm trying to do it on does not have an internet connection right now [18:48] Hi [18:48] Aszurom, i'm just trying to get empathy to connect to MSN. [18:48] bye [18:48] oh, different animal then [18:48] Jordan_U, ok it worked i found the right files. tnx for helping [18:48] mattmurray28: That'd be your best bet. Also, make sure you burn at a very low speed, and in DAO/SAO mode. [18:48] Solved, then that's why you're getting this error, you'll need an internet connection in order to be able to install this package [18:49] plz. any one can tell me about remote linus os installation (from diffrent location). Please don't mind i am very new to linux [18:49] glebihan: The .deb is acx100, and without it I can't get internet on the computer [18:49] raven_: You're welcome.

[18:50] theadmin , it does not give me the option to choose the speed or mode in windows image burner? [18:50] Solved, every package it depends on (so at least debhelper) [18:51] mattmurray28: Wait, wut? You burned using the built-in image burner in Windows? [18:51] yes [18:51] mattmurray28: Don't do that. Use imgburn or infrarecorder [18:51] ok [18:51] mattmurray28: Or any real disc burning tool, anyway [18:51] glebihan: Do you have a link by any chance? [18:52] Solved, for debhelper ? [18:52] Ive stumbled across a missing package in the repos: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/s/sdl-image1.2/libsdl-image1.2-dev_1.2.10-1_i386.deb 404 Not Found [18:52] hi guys, I've forgot all my passwords... could I...

Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [18:56] DER: Sorry, 9.04 is EOL and no longer supported. You need to do a clean install, most likely.

I have shared libraries installed in /usr/local/lib, but whenever I try to use a program that dynamically links against them, I get: "libpicoLCD.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" (though it is indeed clearly installed in /usr/local/lib, and included in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.conf) [19:01] WPA i need help setting up === MalawiEh is now known as malina [19:01] Wait a sec'.

I need to find the exact location of a bad sector that I know exists, and then I need to force the drive to write to that sector, which i'm told will force the drive to 'fix' itself.

What option do i choose in the installation screen? thanks [19:02] Anyone know how I can do that, most likely from WinXP?

[19:06] Solved, you're welcome [19:06] jarle, sorry i assumed you meant ubuntu [19:06] ThinkT510: I'm not fully sure, i've been told that forcing "a write to the sector so it will remap it because it has no data it is just pending(read only error) to get the drive to remap it has to be written to". [19:06] normal [19:06] hey, hi! do you know a way to start an xserver on a remote machine? i disaled the autostart and now i need an xserver running on it...can you help? [19:08] alexxio: it has to be enabled on the remote machine [19:08] which you can alter (if it is not set through ssh for example) [19:08] FoxtrotZero: the bad sector is on an ntfs partition isn't it? [19:08] ThinkT510: Yes. Perhaps I should have mentioned that. [19:09] FoxtrotZero: chkdsk [19:09] FoxtrotZero: and you want to resize that to make room for another partition but gparted won't let you? [19:09] theadmin: Won't chkdisk just add the sector to window's list of bad sectors? If it'll force a write to the sector, just tell me the command. [19:10] ThinkT510: Yes, that is the case. [19:10] FoxtrotZero: I think you can just do chkdsk /f Z: [19:10] alexxio, is there a display on the machine or you just want to start it up with out display? [19:10] FoxtrotZero: Windows is supposed to fix problems on NTFS drives [19:10] theadmin: i'll look up some documentation. [19:10] how du I get a plain text-mode console during boot.

[19:11] ive got a 100 here that i need to check [19:12] and so far the drive failed after the 2nd disk [19:12] Tetsuo55, you need to eject it, then put another cd in [19:12] so choose eject from the rightclick menu [19:12] > [19:12] yes, or press the eject button [19:12] Or just "eject" in the terminal. [19:12] using the eject button seems to confuse ubuntu [19:13] johwir: in /etc/default/grub add "text" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" then sudo update-grub [19:13] i really dont have to troubleshoot this today, ill get a windows client and do it there [19:13] thanks so far [19:13] theadmin: Which flags do you want me to use? http://www.robvanderwoude.com/allhelpw2ksp4_en.php#CHKDSK [19:13] bastidrazor: Thanks. Will try that. [19:14] FoxtrotZero: The guide I linked to tells you everything you should need to know. [19:14] FoxtrotZero: Just /f for starters, if that fails, /r too [19:14] Jordan_U: You're not the first one to link me to that guide. I'm sorry, I can't discern direction from it. [19:16] FoxtrotZero: Run "sudo smartctl -l selftest /dev/sda" and pastebin the output (assuming that sda is the drive in question). [19:16] Jordan_U: Is that a command for ubuntu terminal or windows command prompt, because i'm running Windows right now... [19:17] ajb: there is a display [19:17] FoxtrotZero: For Ubuntu. If you really want to continue working from Windows then we should move to ##windows. [19:17] FoxtrotZero: sudo in windows? That's a dream :P [19:17] i did export DISPLAY=:0.0 the startx from remote shell but doesnt seem to work [19:18] Ur@nyum [19:18] are u still there ? [19:18] Jordan_U, I'm in both channels. I'm just getting help where I can now. I started here because this was originally my attempt to make a partition for installing ubuntu. Somewhere in the mess, that's still my goal. [19:19] http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/sad/2602614754.html [19:19] In the meantime *fixes tie* this is where I get off. [19:20] FoxtrotZero: I can give you exact directions which I have tested myself recently for the same problem using Ubuntu. I can't say the same for Windows (though others possibly can). [19:20] Jordan_U: Well I only just started to run CHKDSK C: /F. and if that doesn't work, we'll go to whatever you have in mind. [19:21] Ah, i'm going to have to restart the system. BRB. === chak is now known as chakyok [19:23] i have managed to format partition with different distro but now i cannot access grub at all, i am trying to do something from ubuntu liveCD but not much luck, any helpfull ideas?? [19:26] question about start-stop-daemon: i have a server running nicely using a screen session, if i want to use a server command, i reattach to the screen session, use the command, then detach. if i were to write a nice init.d script using start-stop-daemon, is it still possible to send commands to the daemon? how so? having hard time finding answer via google. [19:27] Kirior, so can you be more detailed on the grub portion and your intentions overall? === arno is now known as Guest68246 === chakyok is now known as chak [19:29] sorry, i blindly following instruction i have printed earlier installed archlinux on my ext3 partition, at the end of the installation it installed a GRUB bootloader, i thought it will be dualboot, but it wasnt. i was stuck at archlinux without any GUI and network connection, got the live cd with ubuntu 11.04 on board and trying my luck from there [19:29] but as i am very lost i have no idea what and how to do it [19:29] Kirior, I read back now you can install the grub2 loader putting u untu as the controlling boot, on the live cd which is which one in comparison to the ubuntu install? [19:29] i am currently dowloading grub and installing it so hopefully it will solve my issue here [19:30] Kirior, there is a grub wiki that is quite helpful, what is the cd your on and what is the ubuntu install? === GHost is now known as Guest95886 [19:31] Can someone help me I'm trying set up WPA .

You had something you wanted to attempt? [19:33] urlin2u: thx to you as well, will do, if any doubts will ask the two of you [19:33] FoxtrotZero: Yes. Can you boot back into an Ubuntu LiveCD? [19:34] Jordan_U: Ugh, that means going without music. Yeah, one moment.

[20:43] but the thing is [20:44] resize2fs does not resize partitions, thats so strange [20:44] It just resizes file systems... [20:44] how can I possibly set the number of sectors right [20:44] paissad: there might be a better solution of course but I don't know about it. [20:44] when I was on windows the other day I was able to torrent something though [20:45] Does anyone know if Gobi 3000 UMTS (3G) modem works out-of-box with ubuntu? [20:45] since then I crashed my windows laptop so I just have an ubuntu netbook for the moment [20:45] notverygoodatthi: able to send, or able to receive? [20:46] terr, you proposed my to set up a proxy in at home ? with what rules ? knowing that freenode access port is 6667 IIRC [20:46] I can't do either right now [20:46] !kvm [20:46] kvm is the preferred virtualization approach in Ubuntu. For more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM [20:46] anyone know how to setup wpa-supplicant with wpa2 on ubuntu server? [20:47] paissad: I run openBSD on the firewall and I'd put in a command to translate port 80 to port 6667 adn route it to freenode. [20:47] paissad: paissad I've never done this in linux. I know linux can do it. [20:47] notverygoodatthi: being able to send relies on your university network.. being able to receive relies on being able to send or the niceness of the "people" you wish to download from. [20:47] terr, i already have a web server running, ... it's not suitable i think [20:48] paissad: yes actually it is because with openBSD at least you can nat from a specific subnet. So you just firewall the whole stupid university from your webserver and hijack it for 6667 [20:48] notverygoodatthi: so if it worked the other day most likely you were simply downloading from "nice" people [20:48] yes but, most people are configured to automatically upload and download, and this is happening with three different torrents, all of which have plenty of seeders [20:49] paissad: if you have an extra static IP you can hijack it. [20:49] how to format an external hard drive from ubuntu? I dont find the option in gparted [20:50] paissad: look for a proxy server. This is how they anonymise [20:50] what do you mean by "nice"? how does that apply to a university network differently than at home? [20:50] Hi, i ran some updates earllier today and now my NAS just froze. I had to reset it. I am now in again, but am wondering what can i check to see for a possible cause? It happened while deleteing a file trough Samba share [20:50] terr, a proxy server which NAT from 80 to 6667 ? [20:51] javier__: Select the device you want to partition in the menu at the top right. [20:51] good luck for me [20:51] paissad: sure - its no harder than changing the IP. They just rewrite the packet header [20:51] paissad: a good firewall should be able to do this. [20:52] terr, i have basic skills about iptables ... but as i already said, i'm currently using the port 80 & 443 :/ [20:52] paissad: you need to rewrite both the IP and hte port number instead of jsut the IP [20:53] paissad: yes... so what you do is set up a rule which rewrites only if the source address is your university [20:53] terr, yeah, why not, why not :) [20:53] paissad: that shuts them down but who cares. To block everything except prt 80 and 443 is pretty ignorant [20:53] notverygoodatthi: not sure exactly where it occurs, whether it is in the clients of the other users or at the tracker or a reaction to the general topology of the torrent-seed, but somewhere in the mix of that some peers will upload to you despite you not uploading.. it is generally a small percentage [20:54] paissad: I have never looked at iptables. But it should be able to do this. [20:54] terr, hmm, i'm going to take fun ... it's been lots of months since i did not played with iptables, .. but that's no trick === hzroot is now known as Mamo [20:54] paissad: now if you have a static IP for your webserver then you should have more than one available... I have like 8 [20:55] I'm almost certain I was uploading when I torrented on windows, I remember checking my ratio [20:55] paissad: look into ssh tunnelling too [20:55] terr, how did you get 8 static IPs ? O_o ... my ISP delivered me only one which is i think completely normal [20:56] paissad: I have a business account.. Costs me 480 per month tho! Just a rip off! [20:56] paissad: I have a business account.. Costs me $80 per month tho! Just a rip off! [20:56] notverygoodatthi: are they the same torrents? [20:56] terr, indeed :) === TheDreamer is now known as Youri [20:56] paissad: I run quite a nimber of websites tho and email for a few 100 ppl [20:56] anyone know how to join the html and css page? [20:57] does anyone knows something [20:57] are all screens from laptops lcd [20:57] rapage: yes, plasma screens are to power hogging [20:57] no, but they're all popular, well seeded torrents from the same site, and it seems unlikely that one would have so many people with that one setting on that it downloaded at a totally normal rate, while the ones I've downloaded to ubuntu have none- [20:58] paissad: http://www.freeproxy.ca/ [20:58] so i'm having a hellacious time getting ubuntu to work on my macbook pro, it refused to install grub2 so i fiknished the install without it, can I try and install it again via rescue mode? [20:58] rapage: ... and CRTs are a bit heavy -- hardly portable [20:58] jwrigley, what about led screns [20:59] rapage: OLED screens are not LCDs. led screens are just ordinary LCDs with led backlights [20:59] paissad: I don't know if they can translate the port number [21:00] for computers [21:00] terr, i'll see [21:00] or for tvs [21:00] is there a channel dedicated to the terminal? [21:00] notverygoodatthi: how long time have you given the torrent clients to gather momentum? [21:00] jremydeaton: Theres #bash for scripting help. [21:00] it's probably been a good 45 minutes on deluge now, and the other ones I probably gave at least an hour each, maybe more [21:01] rapage: no difference. a flat screen is a flat screen [21:01] I read that led screens have better performance [21:02] at ehow [21:02] notverygoodatthi: just keep at it, and reannounce often. That is your best bet. [21:02] paissad: I'm thinking you should be able to easily write a deamon which can do it! You basically need to open a socket and set up a pair of pipes which route through awk. [21:03] terr, not really a daemon though [21:04] rapage: led screens look more vivid, they have a greater contrast ration -- better blacks, better whites. ordinary lcd's are (if quality allows it) more colour accurate. [21:04] okay. is there a way I can circumvent the block without using tor? A friend recommended that but I think torrenting on tor is frowned upon, hurts the network and such [21:05] paissad: it would have to be a daemon. I've written one but havn't looked at it for like over 10 years. [21:05] paissad: thing is this is exactly what iptables does. It rewrites the packet header and relays it. [21:05] How would I make a dual monitor wallpaper if I'm using TwinView? [21:06] terr, hmm ten years ago, i was touching a keyboard / mouse for the 1st time , hihi [21:06] paissad: its also exactly what an amonuymizer does [21:06] paissad: I set up my first webservers in 1997 [21:06] rapage: *ratio [21:06] paissad: they have been lit since [21:06] terr, :) [21:07] paissad: but I hate digging into things like iptables bcause I find the documentation is so poor. [21:08] paissad: we shouild be able to clean the mess up but for instance I found serious configuration errors in Debian when I installed the sound drivers adn fixed it and posted the corrections and 5 years later the documentation was still wrong and the configuration was still wrong too. Its very frustrating and very unprofessional and we wonder why the world doesn't adopt linux faster... well that is the reason - or one of them. [21:09] hey can anyone help me understand how to install grub2 from the rescue console for a macbook pro? [21:09] How can I change the default root authorization program (eg kdesudo to gksudo)? [21:09] I've messed something up and I keep getting a Qt-style authorization program in GNOME. [21:09] so no one knows how to fix distortions/static sound problems(xfi) [21:10] terr, so that's one of the reason why you prefer openbsd ? [21:10] SetiAmon: well teh debian people sure didn't. [21:10] klafka_: don't own a macbook, but surely it is the same as any other laptop [21:10] !grub2 | klafka_ [21:10] klafka_: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [21:10] jwrigley: klafka_ no its not , I havea macbook, there are some "peculiarities" [21:10] paissad: I don't prefer openBSD. Its light weight and clean so I use it on the webservers and firewall and on the desktop I use linux. [21:11] ok [21:11] Hmm sucks so X-fi sound distortion is unfixable? [21:11] jwrigley: it's quite different because macs don't use BIOS [21:11] they use EFI [21:11] klafka_: what is efi? [21:11] klafka_: newer distributions support EFI. I boot my macbook pro 15" in efi mode [21:11] klafka_: Please follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot exactly (do not modify the steps, they are correct for macs) and pastebin any error that results. [21:12] tomodachi: did you use the 11.04 AMD64 image [21:12] klafka_: yes [21:12] klafka_: there is some documentation on the ubuntu wiki. find your model and read up there [21:12] klafka_: It's recommended to use Apple's BIOS implementation as many current linux graphics drivers do not function properly without BIOS hooks. [21:13] paissad: I'mm heading off... good luck and let me know what you find... I'm going to see if I can find a workable machine in my garage... prolly have a dozen or more [21:13] terr, ok ;) thanks anyway [21:13] paissad: iptables should just do it. [21:14] hey, I can't reach to use my wlan on my laptop (fujitsu amilo L7320GW) === Zephr0 is now known as Zephr0`afk [21:14] it tryes to connect, but doesn't do it [21:15] Jordan_U: I was reading that, does that mean you must use bootcamp? [21:15] I'm confused as to when you know if apple's hybrid mbr is installed [21:15] connecting wlan does freeze my laptop too [21:15] 11.04 classic ubuntu [21:15] Hi, I want to know how to set per user, or per folder hard drive limits [21:16] vandor, Is your wireless built into the laptop, or on a USB device? [21:16] built into [21:16] intergrated [21:16] klafka_: No. I explicitly recommend *not* using boot camp if you don't use Windows as it creates a Hybrid mbr which will only cause problems and complications and is not needed for Ubuntu. [21:16] ok, can you open a terminal and type lspci | grep wireless please, vandor [21:16] jasonn you could probably accomplish with quota [21:17] strigoi66: I am using ubuntu server :3 [21:17] jasonn try http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CCoQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ubuntugeek.com%2Fhow-to-setup-disk-quotas-in-ubuntu.html&rct=j&q=quota%20for%20ubuntu%20server&ei=4F92TtyhI4WTtwfbvK3YDA&usg=AFQjCNF1Tq-np-ctsZUEeDxjp2gC8lOG1w&sig2=Rx_tBu17w2CifH6Db9hALA&cad=rja [21:18] strigoi66: thanks :D [21:18] vandor, don't paste the results here, if you would please, put them on http://paste.ubuntu.com - and print the resulting URL in here please :) [21:18] BarkingFish, ok [21:18] thank you [21:18] I'm back on the LIVE cd version of 11.4 i figur i can resolve things better being inside and asking [21:19] strigoi66: why would you paste that ugly link instead of just http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-setup-disk-quotas-in-ubuntu.html [21:19] Jasonn: np [21:19] sorry dude just pasted without looking really [21:19] I love windows, it's sooooooooo awesome [21:19] ok good I used disk utility to create teh partitions [21:19] it's free, open source, it has a huge community [21:19] united_: lol [21:20] however, when i try and run grub-install /dev/sdb3 it just says cannot stat '/dev/sdb3' [21:20] however that was the partition I created [21:20] klafka_: You aren't following the directions. Follow the directions exactly and carefully. [21:20] ugh even volume control keeps crashing [21:20] jwrigley, thanks [21:21] http://paste.ubuntu.com/692551/ [21:21] BarkingFish, http://paste.ubuntu.com/692551/ [21:21] i'm using the ubuntu alternate cd, chose language, location and keyboard layout [21:21] Normally, when you create a folder in the Home folder called a specific key name (ex. Music) it automatically gets assigned a specific folder icon. Anyone know where that control file is and if it's editable? [21:21] btw, i can use internet on my laptop by my phone & usb cable 3G [21:21] i selected the partition which had my root partition on it [21:21] klafka_: Do you have a regular LiveCD you can use? [21:21] klafka_: you don't do grub-install on a partition.. you do grub-install on a harddrive. [21:21] then in the hash i typed grub-install /dev/sdb3 [21:22] vandor, thank you for the paste, I'm looking it over. With you shortly :) [21:22] klafka_: Never install grub's boot sector to a partition. Always to the mbr.

[21:24] i have to edit my irssi settings [21:24] when i tried to enter livecd [21:25] How can I set up Evolution to check my Windows Live Junk folders, or other folders apart from Inbox [21:25] how do you restart audio in ubuntu ? my audio crashed(haven't used linux since jaunty [21:26] whats the command for restarting audio in linux [21:27] vandor: Can you tell me from your terminal, how does your wifi appear in iwconfig please? wlan0 or ath0? [21:27] SetiAmon try sudo restart pulseaudio [21:27] vandor: /ignore #ubuntu JOINS PARTS QUITS [21:27] klafka_: Use this iso (on an actual CD, not USB): http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/11.04/release/ubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64+mac.iso [21:27] new 11.04 installed, any solution for blank login screen ?

When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [21:28] SetiAmon: sudo service pulseaudio restart [21:28] SetiAmon: What Polah said. [21:28] i bet "sudo service pulseaudio restart" fails with a per-user message [21:29] per user preconfigured [21:29] yes it did [21:29] i'm using the live cd,i am just trying to get audio to work.it starts out the box distorted etc,then it crashed === Aang is now known as Zutara [21:29] MonkeyDust: what else details ie? i just installed 11.04 when trying login there is only blank page without login window or anything else ? [21:30] ErKaN: page? are you on the web? what colour is the screen? do you see the mouse, any keyboard cursor? [21:32] jwrigley: no, i mean the login screen(page).. its just blank, hmm kinda mouse at top only.. i get sound by trying keyboard tho [21:32] ErKaN: can you move the mouse? [21:32] no [21:33] there is nothing i can do at all with the blank page [21:33] ErKaN, is this first time it's happened? [21:33] ErKaN: does the mouse look like an underscore? [21:33] BarkingFish: i just installed the system, so yep [21:34] what dm are you using? [21:34] Erkan: I'm interested to see if this can be fix because the same problem happened to me, when I was trying out 11.04 [21:34] ErKaN: what happens if you click ctrl+alt+F2 [21:35] i tried ctrl+alt+f5 (goes blank) and f7 got me back to the blank screen.. [21:35] goes black* tho [21:35] BarkingFish, http://paste.ubuntu.com/692562/ [21:35] So you don't get a login screen on the TTY? [21:35] ^^ErKaN [21:36] where does the Sound preferences GUI get the list of hardware Profiles from? (Analog Surround 4.0, etc) ? [21:37] well i get it BarkingFish, but the login window, just a blank screen, actually it sounds like its hidden at background because when i try keyboard i get the sounds [21:37] ErKaN, do you have a Nvidia GPU ? [21:38] OerHeks: sorry not sure of Nvidia GPU? [21:38] ErKaN, I mean if you try to switch to TTY1, do you get a login screen there? If so, login as your normal user, and type sudo service gdm restart - see if restarting the DM resolves it. [21:38] hi all, im searching for a menuentry applying to natty-alternate-iso to boot with grub2 from usb-flashdrive [21:38] ErKaN: you describe it very blankly, surely you can describe the difference between Ctrl+alt+F5 and ctrl+alt+F7 in greater detail [21:39] !nomodeset [21:39] A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [21:39] How can I clean up packages that have been uninstalled via remove instead of purge? [21:39] vandor, I suspect this could be a firmware problem with your wifi driver, or maybe you haven't got a driver assigned to the device. [21:39] Polah: just purge them [21:40] Polah: try apt-get autoremove also [21:40] ok [21:40] hmm [21:40] strigoi66: Polah: remember --purge [21:40] apt-get autoremove windows [21:40] :P [21:41] ok [21:41] jwrigley: Nope. dpkg -l still lists them with rc, which I believe means they're removed but still have configuration files present [21:41] united_: lol, if autoremove worked properly, you wouldn't need to specify windows :P === X_ is now known as FreeNET [21:42] jwrigley: very true :) [21:42] Polah: did you do apt-get purge pkg-name [21:42] jwrigley: Yes [21:42] Polah: do you have aptitude installed? [21:42] jwrigley: Yes I do [21:43] hello [21:44] Polah: then try aptitude instead. either aptitude purge pkg-name or interactively using _ to mark for purge === Zephr0`afk is now known as Zephr0 [21:45] jwrigley: It worked with aptitude. Thanks [21:45] Polah: pleasure :) [21:46] haha [21:46] i just had to press Fn + f2 and my wlan started to work [21:46] to turn your wlan on [21:46] has ubuntu-tweak been an issue for anyone else in the last week? issue=no data shown for apps or sources [21:47] I once somehow hit fn + f2 on accident and couldn't for the life of my figure out why wlan wouldn't work, it sucked!

[21:49] the sound is distortion/pops and echos. [21:49] qin: so what is the 'recommended' source for not so unusual ppa's one might want or need? [21:49] Aquix: Badware, Poorware, or whatever name is.

[22:11] Guest95886: key_mgmt should be WPA-PSK (no 2 ) [22:12] I created a virtual machine with testdrive but now I can't find it [22:12] Insadesu: I don't use gnome, in xfce it is in the xfce power manager under Extended - "lock screen when....."

[22:15] I installed libglew [22:16] how do I get libGL.so? [22:16] how i can learn what port the program works?

[22:17] Insadesu: nope....never liked it [22:18] I have a question: you can edit the /etc/sudoers file and make it so when you type in a wrong password it gives you an insult, does anybody know how to edit the insults [22:18] th0r: I see..

I can't print from Win7 to Ubuntu [22:18] th0r: says here: disable 'fast user switching' [ ] [22:19] th0r: i just don't get it. why won't none of the buttons work? except for 'unlock'. [22:19] Insadesu: if you have an Unlock button then the rest require sudo access....which you get by 'Unlocking' [22:20] united_ make it shutdown instead ;p [22:20] Insadesu: if you can't unlock, you have to launch the appliciation with gksudo [22:20] Aquix: I'm not sure how to do that yet :) [22:20] th0r: So how do I make it so the other buttons do not need 'sudo'? because on 11.04 this never happened. the buttons didn't need it.

Does anyone know of a program that tells you what keyboard key is being pressed (trying to debug a remote control that shows up as keyboard device)?

[23:27] Gentoo64: did I destroy the partition table by following this howto?'http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/ [23:27] Eearslya, you can use compiz for that [23:28] well its also showing my video card its not installed correctly i think? [23:28] Gentoo64: like has a 1.4gHzPIII... hopefully tualatin... [23:28] Gentoo64: i don't think the drive showed up at all [23:28] coz_: How? [23:28] maaan, i'm totally fucked up, trying to switch language from german to english on ubuntu 10.04. tried the whole f*ckin google. can anyone tell me how to do it properly??? [23:28] Eearslya, make sure you have compizconfig-settings-manager installed first [23:28] dennister, if it didnt show up its th bios not the table [23:28] coz_: I do. [23:28] dennister, loooook for a way to reset cmos, i have no idea about laptops [23:28] hey qin qhat can i tell you from this [23:29] i don't see the sd card, but maybe i'm missing it [23:29] Gentoo64: not on knoppix anyway...when ubuntu livecd was trying to load - unsuccessfully - it showed errors in block 0, 1, 2, and 3 [23:29] Eearslya, ok open that and go to the Window management category and click on the "Place windows" plugin and the second tab "Fixed window placement" [23:29] /dev/sdc1 on /media/3C12-895F type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,showexec,flush) [23:29] found it [23:29] thanks === laeyf is now known as artemis [23:29] dennister, when trying to install from livecd? === artemis is now known as laeyf [23:29] does anyone know what errors in sector 0, blocks o, 1, 2, 3 mean? [23:30] Gentoo64: yes, when i tried to load the livecd, not install from it [23:30] dennister, livecd should work even without a hdd [23:30] maybe its ram [23:30] coz_: Ah, thanks! [23:30] try memtest [23:30] Eearslya, there you will see,,, windows with fixed positionis...windows with fixed placement mode..and window with fixed viewport [23:30] dennister, actually dont its probably not that [23:30] are there any distros that are keeping gnome 2????? [23:31] Gnome232fanonly, mint afaik [23:31] Gentoo64: that's what I thought; a bad partition on hd shouldn't effect livecd [23:31] can you guys tell me what OS should i use for a production server? [23:31] i hate mint [23:31] Gentoo64: it certainly didn't effect knoppix [23:31] Gnome232fanonly, not many. gnome 3 is the future and gnome 2 will die one day [23:31] Gnome232fanonly, mint linux has gnome 2 right now and there are a few forked projects trying to keep gnome2 alive [23:31] dennister, im really not sure :s [23:31] jwrigley, i got blacklisted by my wireless router [23:31] i have the nvidia accelerated drivers version 173 but it says its not in use [23:31] who are the forks? [23:31] Gentoo64: thx for trying...be back later [23:31] why if its installed? [23:32] Edward454, i think its that cosmetic bug [23:32] Gnome232fanonly, off hand I dont remember their names ,, I hate to say t his,, but just google gnome2 forks [23:32] ok [23:32] sorry gent whats that cosmetic bug ? [23:32] Gnome232fanonly, it will probably be easier to use xfce its the most gnome 2 like out of them all [23:33] Gnome232fanonly, although ubuntu 11.10 will have gnome 3 available and its not bad especially if you like to use compiz [23:33] Edward454, there was / still is a bug where it says driversn ot in use, yet they are [23:33] yeah or i can use ubuntu 10.10 [23:33] Gnome232fanonly, ubuntu 10.04 would prob be the best choice [23:33] Gnome232fanonly, right until ubuntu 12.04 LTS [23:33] as its got gnome 2 and supported longer [23:33] ok thanks gentoo [23:33] Can anyone help with a dead MBP5,5 keyboard using Natty? [23:34] can you guys tell me what OS should i use for a production server? === safejav_ is now known as safejav [23:34] I can install any OS i want [23:34] diki, its up to you... [23:34] Edward454: i would try switch/install another nvidia driver [23:34] Gentoo64: how long can i use it? i want to use it forever [23:34] Gentoo64:it might be [23:34] diki, you want security? speed? [23:34] but i've never had any site up [23:34] diki: Something lightweight and flexible for what you want to use it for. [23:34] diki: Debian stable [23:34] hey lol! my webcam started to work out of the blue ! [23:34] Gnome232fanonly, you can use it forever, but it wont be updated forever [23:34] i just recorded a video and bam it works [23:34] Edward454: yay [23:34] yay! [23:34] well something that can work on 1GB ram and apache,mysql and php altogether [23:35] well i dont need the lateist apps [23:35] diki, any os can [23:35] tbh [23:35] Edward454: nice :) [23:35] Gnome232fanonly, use ubuntu 10.04 then [23:35] right, but i've never really used a unix based OS [23:35] so i cant really know [23:35] diki: but I know =) [23:35] just a VM really [23:35] btw how long do backports last? [23:35] diki, if you want easy try ubuntu or debian [23:37] Hello all, is there a way to install a different language pack on Libreoffice? Well, language pack for spell check? [23:39] BrandonBolton: undoubtedly; probably want to ask #libreoffice [23:39] if i use 10.10 and it gets no support can i still get apps for it? old software works like new stuff for me. [23:40] basically, atm the server must handle at least 200 inserts per second in a table in mysql [23:40] Gnome232fanonly, with ppas i think [23:41] Gnome232fanonly, i think apart from that you might find it a pain. you might as well switch to another de you like and have the support for it === Shadows`grass is now known as SoulShadow [23:41] alkafoo, Okay I will, thank you. [23:41] so like in ubuntu 8.x cant download old stuff? [23:41] no idea about 8 === laeyf is now known as luthien [23:42] Gnome232fanonly: 8.04 is supported until 2013 === luthien is now known as lieyfor [23:42] Gnome232fanonly: erm, the server version, sorry === lieyfor is now known as lieyf [23:42] maaan, i'm totally fucked up, trying to switch language from german to english on ubuntu 10.04. tried the whole f*ckin google. can anyone tell me how to do it properly??? [23:42] which would only include important packages, not desktop apps [23:43] shakaponk: ask #ubuntu-de ? [23:43] what if it goes out of support then what happins? [23:43] then you die [23:43] alkafoo: ah, alright, will check it out, thx [23:43] Gnome232fanonly: then it won't be supported by Canonical [23:43] Gnome232fanonly: and you'll probably want to update to a version that is [23:43] still get old software? [23:43] eh? [23:43] Gnome232fanonly, xfce can be set up to look pretty similar to gnome 2 [23:44] lol so now last thing and if this works then i will be a happy man and live a life of love and beauty if i can make my integrated mic to work.... any ideas how? [23:44] plus you wont have the pain of having to let go of gnome 2 one day === TheDreamer is now known as Youri [23:45] no all im asking is if when i use old systems without updating can i still download software old i mean [23:45] Gentoo64: i plopped in systemrescuecd and it's what I feared: "invalid partition table" on sda, gparted is now started, and trying like heck to scan devices [23:45] Edward454: first check alsamixer and make sure it isn't just muted (hit TAB if you run out of things to check) [23:46] dennister, hmm. wait for it. if the dev comes up. make a new partition table asap [23:46] no idea whats going on with your drive [23:46] Gnome232fanonly: source code usually endures for virtually ever, but binary .deb's might start to disappear [23:46] Gnome232fanonly: be much more worth your time to simply update [23:46] from the repos? [23:46] Gentoo64: that's the plan...if it ever succeeds in finding a device [23:47] first thing on the agenda [23:47] dennister, yep. if it doesnt, then im not sure what to suggest [23:47] because theres not much you can do... [23:47] k...i'm gonna take a rest and hope... [23:47] im falling in love with ubuntu [23:47] just have to make that mic work [23:47] easy [23:48] Gnome232fanonly: There is no official repos for !eol versions, maybe some comutity mirrors. [23:48] alkafoo: the thing is i want gnome 2 dont want unity hate mint. [23:49] Gnome232fanonly, you can use GNOME3 [23:49] hate it to [23:49] Gnome232fanonly, you aren't forced to use only Unity past 11.04. [23:49] what? [23:49] Gnome232fanonly: Maybe /join #gnome for this rant. [23:49] Gnome232fanonly, well seeing as GNOME2 is no longer officially under development, you can depend on an unofficial fork or learn to like another environment. [23:50] Gnome232fanonly: you can make GNOME 3 work like GNOME 2 [23:50] how long will that last [23:50] yay!!! mic work!! [23:50] yay yay and more yay! [23:50] Gnome232fanonly: if you want a DE that never changes, I suggest you switch to one with a commitment to not doing so [23:50] Edward454: unmuted something? [23:51] yes :P [23:51] good times [23:51] jwrigley, did i succesully got it? http://paste.ubuntu.com/692640/ [23:51] yes plz tell me a good one that never changes [23:51] alkafoo last thing :P lol i swear... when i close the lid of my laptop and reopen it, the system is frozen and i have to do a hard restart [23:51] whats with taht? [23:52] Gnome232fanonly: you might look at debian [23:52] they are going to gnome 3 [23:52] Gnome232fanonly, everything is going to GNOME3. GNOME2 is no longer under development and will quickly become outdated. [23:52] Can I resize an crypted partition? [23:52] Edward454: could be a number of things, but I'd suspect your graphics driver/kernel/combo or suspend config first [23:53] Skeeter-: course [23:53] Guest95886, nope: authentication timeout [23:53] did i ask that NO. i said tell me a good distro that does not change [23:53] is tehre a way to repair that? [23:53] Gnome232fanonly: centos [23:53] Gnome232fanonly: look at debian [23:53] and honestly i understood about 10% of what you said [23:53] jwrigley i'm totally giving up [23:53] alkafoo: i didnt find any tools on the website. Does it work like a normal resize withouth considering the crypto? [23:53] Gnome232fanonly, http://k3rnel.net/2011/06/15/bluebubble-faq/ [23:53] Guest95886: it might be your password [23:53] Skeeter-: does what? [23:54] Guest95886: in your config file your password must be base64 encrypted [23:54] alkafoo: how can i resize [23:54] qin: i do like centos but i cant seem to get any apps installd [23:54] Skeeter-: resize what [23:54] do echo This-is-password |base64 [23:54] Gnome232fanonly, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/?p=19106 [23:54] hello [23:54] and paste the resulting string into your config file as PSK [23:54] hi Josh__ [23:55] lol i was just looking at that link [23:55] I am a huge noob and need some help [23:55] aint we all? [23:55] Josh__: with what? [23:55] lol [23:55] Edward454: no =P [23:55] alkafoo: a crypted partition [23:55] Skeeter-: crypted by what, Ubuntu's installer? [23:55] alkafoo: nvm [23:55] lol no means there is no workadound or that we are not all noobs ? [23:56] ok I just downloaded the newest version of ubuntu both the windows installer and the iso and neither will boot [23:56] Guest95886: see above I forgot to add your nick [23:56] Josh__: installers don't boot [23:56] Josh__: what did you do with the iso? [23:56] alkafoo can i convo you ? [23:56] I'm not that much of a noob [23:56] * alkafoo shrugs [23:57] is this where I can get help for Microsoft? [23:57] Guest95886: you there? [23:57] jwrigley, i alredy double check is it the long ##### [23:57] joint: not so much [23:57] my thing is with centos is how do i install apps in it? [23:57] Josh__: Did you burn it properly, or use the disk creator program the comes with it to create bootable USB? [23:57] Gnome232fanonly: ask #centos [23:57] Also this: [23:57] I installed the windows installer to try it and when I re-boot and choose ubuntu at the boot screen I get an error hd0:0 ntsf5 wubibdr something.... [23:57] !md5sum | Josh__ [23:57] Josh__: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [23:57] ok thanks for the help guys :) bb [23:57] Josh__: it's much saner to not use the 'windows installer' anyways [23:58] I burned the iso to a cd and when I re-boot and boot from the cd it just shows the copy right info and nothing happens [23:58] how can I boot 10.04 into single user mode? [23:58] Josh__: Do you intend to use your Ubuntu install a fair deal of the time? Wubi is just for trying it out, it's not recommended for proper, production installations [23:58] Josh__: what speed did you burn it at? [23:58] i think the most of the people who try ubuntu for the first time try it with wubi [23:58] I used windows iso burner. whatever the iso is set at [23:58] jwrigley, is it possible i can install a ubuntu or something light weight and config wireless and when i'm done i remove the guI/disable thelight weight on the ubuntu server? [23:59] jwrigley, i'm here [23:59] linxeh: IIRC you can append ' 1' to the end of the 'kernel' line in GRUB, from its menu (hit 'e') [23:59] Josh__: try burning at a slower speed, or use a USB stick (better idea) === immortal is now known as ErKaN [23:59] @Poluh well i'm trying to learn how to use linux. [23:59] alkafoo: yeah, I tried adding " single" to the end of the kernel line, but it didnt appear to help. Ive got a machine here thats confusing the hell out of me, and its 1am already heh [23:59] i would try burning at half the speed it burns at now [23:59] linxeh: what's confusing you? [23:59] ErKaN, What the heck did you do to your monitor??? :)
