[00:00] hahahaha BarkingFish its ubuntu not me [00:00] http://imageshack.us/f/692/photo0145j.jpg/ [00:00] ok I found that usb trasnfer program on the burned cd. I used it to make a bootable installable version on my usb stick, same issue. [00:00] guys anyone have problem like that use set gfxpayload=text OS edit, instead of set gfxpayload=$linux_gfx_mode [00:01] *at OS edit* [00:01] Gentoo64: I think that machine is dead. [00:01] Yo [00:01] Josh__: read what ubottu msg'd you [00:02] Gentoo64: I plugged in a monitor which I know worked last nite and I do not hear the beep and I do not see the KB lights flash. Nothing happens on the monitor either. [00:02] Anyone with a woking TASCAM us144 mkII external modem? I can't get mine to work with Ubuntu. [00:02] alkafoo: well, everything I've tried for single user mode is doing the same as it attempting to boot normally. it hangs at mounting the filesystems (it says clean, then complains about the network being down and not being able to mount a samba share) [00:03] I did not get a message [00:03] I'm in a browser irc chat. [00:04] Anyone with a woking TASCAM us144 mkII external sound card? I can't get mine to work with Ubuntu. [00:04] maybe you need medibuntu [00:04] firmware [00:04] didn't even know tascam made modems [00:04] Josh__: md5sum your ISO to verify it is complete [00:04] !md5sum | Josh__ [00:04] thanks BarkingFish jwrigley, tc night [00:04] ok [00:05] Is ubottu dead? [00:05] Josh__, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [00:05] The last time I installed Ubuntu a few months ago, it didn't ask me what packages I wanted to install. Is there an installer that has this feature? I don't want gnome, or half of the default packages. Removing them is not an option since they'll have polluted /etc by then. [00:05] 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 [00:05] winut, My fault I meant sound card.. Mea Culpa [00:05] not as of a few minutes ago === richtr0ye is now known as richtroye [00:05] yeastwars: You can get the minimal ISO and build from the bottom up. [00:05] ok [00:06] winut, i knew what you meant anyways! lol [00:06] alkafoo: recovery mode does exactly the same too [00:06] derr, thats me! lol [00:06] linxeh: maybe the networks are down [00:06] Polah: ah, you mean this one? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [00:06] alkafoo: I'm sat in the server room :) [00:06] the network is down though yes, it hasn't got that far in the boot stage - it should just skip that mount though [00:07] It says "init: ureadahead-other main process (993) terminated with status 4" [00:07] and simiar again with 994 [00:07] sorry, 883 and 884 [00:07] http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-usb-us122l [00:07] hey guys! other problem i just found... i chatting on empathy and i dont have the option to send video or calls... any ideas [00:07] Unity's top panel is not aware of the LibreOffice file,edit, etc. Is this a feature or a bug? All it does is put up its name when it's in focus. [00:08] use pidgin [00:08] linxeh: networks as in the software and/or hardware on the machine in question [00:08] yeastwars: Yes. You'll get a minimal interface to go through basic installation steps and if you choose to install nothing you'll get a basic text interface, no X server or anything much beyond what is required for the system to run like that. You can install though apt-get or aptitude after to get what you want [00:08] alkafoo: well I think the gigabyte baord is dead. I have three Tyan Tiger 230T S2507T MB's here. Two look like they have never been used. These have a pair of PGA370 sockets. [00:08] Polah: great, thank you [00:09] Edward454: about your suspend problem, could be a bios related bug, but don't take that for a fact... just pointing in a possible direction [00:09] yeastwars: You'll won't be able to create a USB with that using Ubuntu's build in startup USB creator, just so you know. unetbootin can do it though [00:09] alkafoo: the hardware networks are up, the network boot bios gets given the correct IP for the machine, and I can ping it (presumably because the bios set it up) === dev_ is now known as brokencodes [00:09] terr: that's too bad, and nice [00:09] just search for any app using the search feature.. then drag and drop any icon into the unity bar [00:09] Polah: I'm burning it anyway (although it almost seems like a waste given the size) [00:09] johwil: can you do without digital in/out? [00:09] alkafoo: but yes, the network isnt up on this machine as far as linux goes- it didnt get that far in the boot [00:09] ok I checked my md5sum and everything says ok [00:09] Edward454: and if you do choose to upgrade bios at your own risk be careful [00:09] if I press ctrl-alt-del it does a bunch of other stuff and reboots fine [00:10] thanks xasp... the suspend problem it used to work fine on win7 its with ubuntyu that it freeses [00:10] yeastwars: Everything (including installer components) needs to be downloaded mind. So if you have a slow connection or bandwidth limits you might want to keep an eye out if you plan to install a lot of things. [00:11] winut, No I medd all ports: Audio in/out MIDI in/out Digital sound in/out aso [00:11] looks like thats not possible, only analog [00:11] alkafoo: I just realized I inserted the memory incorrectly... should have pushed both ends but it wouldn't go so I did one end then the other. [00:12] @Polah I checked my md5sum and everything came back ok [00:12] alkafoo: if there is no memeory I think the bios is suppose to beep somehow - right? [00:12] you could use it with virtualbox and usb passthrough [00:12] terr: doing one end then the other can still work [00:12] but that would be almost pointless imo [00:12] other option is wine and usb patch [00:13] but neither would be a perfect solution [00:13] alkafoo: if I knew if the bios gives some sort of beep code if no ram then I'd be further ahead. [00:13] if you could put up with analog and maybe use virtualbox for the occasional digital out, maybe that would be ok? [00:13] winut, ODD . andds Bad I bougth it. and it works perfectly on windows [00:14] anybody know why my installation is not starting? [00:14] alkafoo: I cna yank out that old MB and install one of the tyan's. [00:14] terr, if you press power, does it die immediately, or do you have to hold power for 5 seconds? [00:14] yeah, linux support is not guaranteed as an afterthought! [00:14] winut, usb-patch waths that? [00:15] brokencodes: I think it died immediately. I was more brutal and have an exteension cord with an on/off so I flipped off the cord! [00:15] anybody? [00:15] it would be for wine apps only tho and i'm not even sure it would work [00:15] brokencodes: on power up I have to press the front paqnel button and as I recall it comes up instantly [00:15] I need to know the answer to my question (of course if you remove power, the computer will stop fuctioning, otherwise we would have a solution to the global power crisis) [00:15] wine is a windows layer [00:16] winut, Can I use the Windows driver as I do with my n etwork card? [00:16] alkafoo: ok, I set the init to be /bin/sh, I guess I'm ok now :o [00:16] however, virtualbox running xp would work [00:16] isn't this the help channel? I'm asking for help..... [00:17] but not the ose version, as this doesn't have usb support [00:17] Josh__, we cannot anticipate all of the possible problems without a smidgent of details [00:17] ok i'll go through them again. [00:17] http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads [00:17] winut, How do I set up a virtualbox? [00:18] I just friggin got here Josh__ [00:18] winut, lol [00:18] weeee [00:18] \o/ === root1 is now known as hdhzero [00:19] I made a bootable usb drive using the utility from the installation cd. neither the cd nor the usb drive will install when I boot them. All I get is the copy right info then nothing happens. I just ran an md5sum check and it's all ok [00:19] johwil, i would accept defeat on all outputs and stick with anaolg for the most part [00:19] could someone help update my java version, i dl'ed the file and following steps but cant get it to work. [00:19] do you have any external hard drives on usb? [00:19] Josh__, whomade your motherboard, and when? [00:19] if so, you need a usb1 hub i think [00:20] asus and i think 2007-08 [00:20] winut, yes bettter to have all analog ports working.. [00:20] better than none! lol [00:20] Josh__, please check that you have USB Legacy support enabled, and if so, try with it disabled [00:21] ok. but would that effect the cd? [00:21] Josh__, if its alreadydisabled,try enabling it [00:21] no [00:21] winut, do you want me to do a lsusb? [00:21] if you desperately must use digital, just load a windows session in virtualbox [00:21] it will allow your pc to use different parameters for reading USB devices [00:21] èpoque [00:21] Josh__, sorry, my spacebar is beginning to fail... [00:21] brokencodes: (offtopic) we might have a solution to the global energy problem. Check Andrea Rossi e-cat. Breaks all known laws of phy sics but they've demoed it. [00:22] winut, I could do without digoital when on linux... [00:22] ok i'll try it. but it doesn't work from the cd either. brb i'll see if that works === Zephr0`afk is now known as Zephr0 [00:22] johwil, ok thats good news, read this page and then you can see how to get basic sound with us144 -> http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-usb-us122l [00:23] winut, Thanks a LOT!!! [00:23] no problem, ill see if there is a more ubuntu specific guide [00:24] having trouble accessing ssh from outside my network. port id forwarded in my router, and it's perfectly fine inside. any ideas? [00:24] winut, Thnaks.. [00:28] hi 2 all [00:28] you can get prebuilt alsa firmware from http://medibuntu.org/ or kxstudio kernel and drivers ppa https://launchpad.net/~kxstudio-team/+archive/ppa [00:28] https://launchpad.net/~kxstudio-team/+archive/kernel/ [00:28] who's got the longest arms here? I hate hardware. I hate building puters. Maybe someone can come over for a beer eh? [00:29] winut, prebuilt? [00:29] i like kxstudio main because it has proper jack2 support [00:29] johwil: you don't have to compile it [00:30] winut, aha [00:30] Hmm as I recall I built a system on a tyan tiger in 1998. Dual CPU and laoded with ram and raid 5 on 5x36GB hitachi SCSI drives. [00:30] I will try that, winut [00:31] terr, building a new comp then?

I got stung 2x on Friday. [00:32] johwil: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TASCAM_US-122 [00:32] need some help [00:32] Gentoo64: bloody wasps. They could mind their own bloody business you'd think. [00:32] winut, when I do a cat /proc/asound/cards the TASCAM is not not even there... [00:33] i think this model must need usb1 mode only [00:33] thats 12mbps [00:33] usb2 is 480mbps [00:34] terr, i find if you slowly squeeze them it helps. its supposed to make the poison sink in more though but i do it anway [00:34] Gentoo64: there were 30,000 bees in my yard this summer and I didn't get stung but Friday two bloody (now dead) wasps took me on! I won. [00:34] I found tobacco helps the most [00:35] winut, is there any support for usb2 with ubuntu? [00:35] Gentoo64: I hit them with a paint brush. Paint was flying but it was the back yard and the grass doesn't care. [00:35] wtf do you mean usb2? do you mean EHCI? [00:35] johwil, do you mean in a vm? [00:35] Gentoo64: what those wasps don't know is that I have a bee suit. I can go get them and they can't get me! [00:36] terr, probably get kicked for being offtopic here :p [00:36] johwil: USB2 shuold be fully supported. [00:36] Gentoo64: hopefully they are nice. We talk ubuntu mostly. [00:36] brokencodes, Gentoo64 I have a non working sound card on the usb2 port [00:37] has anyone see goodnerd today? He needs help with some c code [00:37] johwil, well usb2 definately works [00:37] paissad: how have you made out with the proxy? [00:37] terr, It doesnt't even get current.. it's dead.... [00:38] johwil, real or virtual machine? [00:38] johwil: if you liived n Calgary I'd give yuou a PCI-USB card. I found a boc full today [00:39] Gentoo64, are here any commands I could use for testing my usb2? [00:39] johwil: if you liived n Calgary I'd give yuou a PCI-USB card. I found a box full today [00:39] brokencodes, real [00:39] anyone here [00:39] terr, thanks. Stockholm Sweden [00:40] johwil: three (3) tyan dual processor MB's look like never even out of the box and a box full of PCI-USB cards. never opened. Tape is still on the envelopes [00:40] johwil, unplug the card then plug it back in and run dmesg see if it says anything [00:40] i need help [00:40] johwil: my cousin lives in Huskavarna [00:40] anyone please have time to help me, its prob easy [00:40] does anything else not fuction on that usb port? could be blown board fuse for the 5V supply [00:40] im just a noob at linux [00:40] http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2009-September/021379.html [00:41] JRobinskY: ask yer question [00:41] Gentoo64, it just blinked no indication of life.. [00:41] brokencodes: good point. I've had to replace them on 4 layer boards! Uggh! I hate that! [00:41] johwil: i think it only run in usb1 mode due to the firmware it uses [00:42] terr, Husqvarna? that is not very far from Stockhom [00:42] thats whey it must be forced [00:42] okay i had windows 7 x64 installed. I download the newest ubuntu. I chose the option to resize my partition and install ununtu and have it dual boot. well it installed corrected but now i have no option to buat to windows. It goes right to ubuntu [00:43] then you fcked up,lol [00:43] how do i fix it [00:43] winut, so it seeems [00:43] 'sudo update-grub' [00:43] see if it finds windows [00:43] johwil: I'd gladly give you a PCI-USb card for help installing a MB. Hmmm... atx. I think I know what box I'll use. Has a dead ATX board in it but much smaller box than the other one with the dead Gigabyte baord... if its dead that is. [00:43] from term edit? [00:43] you said you resized your partition? [00:43] the windows partition? [00:43] what should do to make it act as the usb2 it is? winut [00:43] yes [00:43] from 500 gig to 479 [00:43] johwil: I cna get a card to you likely by tomorrow. [00:43] why? [00:43] how big is your hdd? [00:44] johwil: i think they are using us122 firmware or something like that [00:44] 500 gig [00:44] you have 2 partitions on your hdd ? [00:44] johwil: I had to get a differential SCSI terminator from Calgary into New Zealand and did it in under 24 hours! [00:44] so ubuntu is on about 20gb? [00:44] Generating grub.cfg ...

I have lots of them... can pop one in the mail for you... you'll have it in about a week. [00:45] johwil, can you disable usb2 in bios? i think a cheap usb hub would be better, then you don't have to modify the usb setup [00:46] Ubuntu sound is all messed up out of the box [00:46] however, you'll probably find the internal soundcard is just as good! lol [00:46] distorted and playing with settings with cause alsa mixer to crash [00:47] alsamixer... to crash? [00:47] what player, what sound engine? [00:47] ie vlc / alsa [00:48] gnome mixer GUI [00:48] or whatever [00:48] when I get the latest Firefox from the website, what have I gotten? the source? [00:48] because there is no src/ and of course ./configure won't work [00:48] winut: good point... in another way. Why chance burning a fuse on the MB when you can use a cheap hub? [00:48] I have a x-fi.there is Sound out of the box but it is staticy and distorted including echos after i stop the soundfile [00:49] i guess, or buy a different soundcard with better support [00:49] winut: I bought an asus USB CD and was goingt to drive it off my netbook. Now I think... no way! What a dumb idea. [00:49] hi guys, im new to ubuntu but im having two issues so far and i cant find a way to work around them... what do i use so i can video conference with people using windows? skype wont work and messenger will only give me the option to use sound... any program other than that? [00:50] I think its crazy to have to buy another soundcard to get audio to work.it worked fine in jaunty but since then it hasn't [00:50] edusasns: I'll have the same problem! [00:50] winut, Can you give me the urls to the prebuilt kernels again? I lost mine. [00:50] mmm [00:50] so that means there is no program for taht? [00:51] DemonicData: d/l the driver and rebuild it for your version of the O/S [00:51] I tried,the opensource file won't work on anything past jaunty [00:51] edusasns: no - it means I have not looked yet. [00:52] !bug | DemonicData [00:52] DemonicData: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [00:52] its been reported. [00:52] hey... really, really good approach making the install from USB stick documentation Ubuntu-only! really great job! keep this motto! [00:52] other distros dont matter at all anyway, right? [00:52] that's awesome! [00:53] guys any ideas? [00:53] This is an Ubuntu support channel. if you need support for a different distro try their channel. [00:53] anything this reminds me of? [00:54] johwil: The US-144 works with kernel 2.6.33 and above, but only when uhci-hcd (USB 1.1) is forced. This can be done by using an USB 1.1 only USB hub or by disabling ehci-hcd (USB 2.0). The US-144 will run as an US-122L, so the digital channels won't work. [00:54] simples http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-usb-us122l#Limitations_for_the_US-144 [00:54] winut, Thanks, again. [00:54] from what i understand its PulseAudio that has the problems?What are the options?uninstall pulseaudio and install something else?what works [00:55] i haven't been in linux since jaunty btw [00:55] edusasns: http://ekiga.org/ [00:55] DemonicData: you could just uninstall pulseaudio [00:55] if you use mplayer or vlc, you can choose the audio output [00:55] DemonicData: Do you have a link to the bug report? What makes you think it's a pulseaudio problem? [00:55] scorphus: It is a poor idea to keep it ubuntu only. Besides I was unable to do it with the docs at hand and I've built systems with five (5) os's. I had the help of the Calgary Linux User's group too. What I found IMHO is not acceptable [00:55] Alkafoo:I was thinking that.What works though?OSS? === PIORRABear is now known as piorrabear [00:56] DemonicData: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio#PulseAudio_Removal [00:56] DemonicData: ALSA will work all on its own [00:56] DemonicData: first find out if you have the right driver. [00:56] demonicdata: i found that unity made my audio funny, but it worked ok in gnome fallback or classic mode [00:56] winut: the only way that could be true is if your processor/s couldn't handle the load [00:56] Jordan_U:i did a search on the forums for "distortions" or such, and pulseaudio always comes up.currently watching this hooping for hints on my problem http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7t6utRx7EyI [00:56] depending if you are using 11.10 or 11.04 [00:57] alkafoo, it was based on experieince === nix is now known as pengemis [00:57] terr: that's the exactly same over here [00:57] winut: doesn't matter [00:57] DemonicData: winut there is no excuse for this. If a driver doesn't work right then the errno should be set and the app should post this into /var/log/messages [00:57] terr: I was being sarcastic, though... [00:57] terr:thats the issue I have X-FI there are no drivers for it but a opensoruce one that doesn't compile on versions greater then jaunty [00:57] this idea sucks! [00:57] winut, What commands should i use to disable ite ehci-hcd (usb2) ? [00:57] so, now I'm gonna need a windows machine to create it? [00:58] DemonicData: then fix it. [00:58] it's ridiculous === thessaly is now known as luthien [00:58] scorphus: I'm thinking of writing a new shell... one that self documents because I' [00:58] demonicdata fix it and contribute to the community [00:58] terr:thats exactly what I am trying to figure out.of course currently I haven't INSTALLed ubuntu yet.I have a lot of files to save before i migrate back to linux [00:59] m seeing over a decade little progress in us cleaning up our act.

[00:59] DemonicData: Has a bug report been filed (forum posts are not bug reports) reguarding your specific hardware? [01:00] johwil: yeah, better to set this in the os [01:00] DemonicData: I start with a new machine. I leap frog.

[01:05] terr: Not with an Ubuntu iso. === lafux is now known as briseis [01:05] IdleOne: we should also have a boot loader which can be loaded onto ANY media of interest which will enable the network so we can boot from anything. [01:06] Jordan_U: then IMHO we should fix it. [01:06] johwil: i found this http://www.premiumorange.com/la-page-web-of-phil/index.php?page=P030301 [01:06] terr: If you read IdleOne's comment to you, you would see that it will be fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. [01:07] Jordan_U: I did read the comment. I'm not waiting. I have to build a whole new computer because I'm not going to touch the one which works until I get the new puppy running. [01:08] johwil: found it! http://www.scribd.com/doc/56106272/Driver-Tascam-Ubuntu [01:08] the release next month jordan or next year [01:08] Jordan_U: I've faced unable to access the kingston memory stick on the puter which is my desktop but my openBSD webserver works and there is nothing I can find to write to the stupid stick and no instructions... and its simple dimple. I did it last centrury. [01:09] btw guys... each time i log off or close the lid of my laptop the OS freezes... no idea what can it be [01:10] terr: Please try to calm down. It is possible to make a bootable USB with Ubuntu on it. The easiest way is using Ubuntu's Startup Disk creator or Unetbootin. If that's not feasable for you for some reason there are other options as well. [01:10] Jordan_U: now I dug out some junk and found three dual cpu TYAN T230's and I guess my shortest solution is build a new machine from the ground up. [01:10] winut, Thank you so much for your time [01:10] johwil: as the us122 and 144 only work with jack, you should use the kxstudio main ppa for jack 2 support and pulseaudio moudle jack + script imo === briseis is now known as pridwyn [01:10] then you can use pulseaudio apps with jack [01:11] Jordan_U: and that won't run on OpenBsd. it won't run on Debian Sarge and the old DD in sarge won't mount the stick. [01:11] Jordan_U: catch-22 everywhere. [01:11] johwil: what distro do you use? [01:11] alguien habla spanish [01:12] Jordan_U: found an old P1-200 mHz. CPU is missing an instrcution. Well its likely 15 yeras old anyways. But it works! [01:12] terr: Then I would recommend copying the iso (as a file on a filesystem) to the USB drive (or whatever drive you want to make bootable) and install and configure grub2 to loop boot it. [01:12] 11.4 === zz_sysadamin is now known as sysadamin [01:12] Jordan_U: can't do that on sarge because it can't mount the stick. [01:12] Gnome [01:13] terr: What happens when you try to mount the flash drive? What filesystem is on the drive? [01:13] Jordan_U: no worries anyways. I'm going to put the new MB into a case and move the CPU and Ram from the dead boxen over and I'll get it running. [01:13] Anyone familiar with a smart boot manager package for ubuntu, does it exist [01:14] https://launchpad.net/~kxstudio-team/+archive/ppa add ppa:kxstudio-team/ppa to your software sources under repositories in synaptic and probably ppa:kxstudio-team/kernel for alsa-firmware [01:14] Jordan_U: I detroyed it. It was fat and I blew that away.... but it doesn't matter because the machine I was going to try died! I think a cap on the MB blew. I don't think it can boot from a USB stick anyways. [01:14] I'm running x64 ubuntu 10.04 my mic isnt working i tried the fix where you add options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 to the alsa-base.conf and that didnt change anything how do i get the mic to work? [01:14] winut, 11.4 (Gnome=) [01:15] minecraft should have no problems runing in ubuntu [01:15] johwil: yeah, thats a good release [01:16] Jordan_U: and the only peripherals on that puppy are a USB and that's it. No CD. No FDD. No HDD with na O/S and it does have a nic... and also 6 video connections so it can run six (heads) whihc I guess means its a devil... but it died on the way to the linux user's group. [01:16] is there a minecraft for linux ? or do u run it on wine? [01:16] DemonicData: When you've submitted a bug report please subscribe me (JordanU on launchpad) to the report as I'm interested in following it. [01:17] terr: If the situation is resolved and you no longer need support then please stop discussing the issue.

[01:19] ok, good luck! hope i give you enough info to go on :-) [01:19] hellhammer, you could try to set model [01:20] what [01:20] hoping someone can help me with tar. I want to archive the contents of a dir to a folder one above it. I have tried "tar cvzf filename.tgz *" which is close but doesn't include the hidden files. [01:20] errr "../filename.tgz" [01:21] Jordan_U: the issue is poor bootstrap proceedures and that is not resolved. it should not take a sysadmin with consulting backup to install ubuntu on any POS that runs. [01:22] hola [01:22] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1751483 [01:22] terr: This channel is for support, not ranting. And please watch your language (abbreviated or not). This is your last warning. [01:22] Jordan_U: I should be able to stuff a DOS fdd boot disk in or anything since and do an install... and I do know how to program DOS and in assembler too. [01:22] !guidelines | terr [01:23] terr: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [01:23] fao hellhammer (see above) [01:23] what [01:23] Nautilus, tar -cvpzf test.tgz >> But be careful of placing the new tar inside the same directory you are tarring. You can get into a nasty loop. [01:24] Jordan_U: all I'm saying is that if the machine can run the HDD then we should be able to do an install... even if we need to use dd [01:24] OerHeks: the -p does it? [01:24] jups [01:24] Nautilus, see man tar [01:25] i have, too long ;) [01:25] looking for -p [01:25] hmm, im thinking of using chrome instead of evince, is that going to cause problems? [01:25] ag, -p is permissions [01:26] ah* [01:26] OerHeks: I don't see anything about hidden files in the manual [01:27] is there a tool to do document statistics on pdfs like word count and concordence in the ubuntu repos that is standard for academic stuff? [01:27] evenin folks! [01:28] I'm running x64 ubuntu 10.04 my mic isnt working i tried the fix where you add options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 to the alsa-base.conf and that didnt change anything how do i get the mic to work? [01:28] is there a way to mount an nfs share, and use some sort of mapping for UID and GID's. example...remote server has the same users, but the UID and GID's are different. Is there some way to tell it to translate? [01:29] t0ken: do you want it to mount the remote nfs with some local permissions, or sync the local accounts with the remote server? [01:30] OerHeks: trying -cvpzf but the command you gave me doesn't specify any files. I tried using * but I think that keeps hidden files out [01:30] more speficially: tar -cvpzf ../geotech1.tgz * [01:30] tholl583xx: I'm using this to backup local stuff to a NAS that is exporting volumes via NFS. I'd like to keep permissions and such the same [01:31] Nautilus: When you type "tar cvzf filename.tgz *" the "*" gets expanded by bash to match all non-hidden files i.e. it's not tar deciding which files to archive. Instead, go up one level and do "tar cvzf filename.tgz " and that should tar even the hidden files in the directory.... [01:31] Loshki: yes that will do it but then I have an unwanted level of dir in the tgz file [01:31] hellhammer, what is your soundcard? [01:32] tholl583xx: the users already exist on the NAS that's exporting the NFS volume, just the uid/gid stuff is different [01:32] I read something about a 'map_static=/somefile' option, but can't find any documentation on it or how to implement in /etc/fstab [01:32] t0ken: i belive its doable via the nfs configs - but its been ages since i last did nfs - You checked the ubuntu nfs wiki page? [01:33] !nfs [01:33] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [01:33] Nautilus: then try: cd ; tar cvzfp /tmp/filename.tgz . <--- note final period, note filename change to /tmp [01:33] hrmm, I have not. I'll go check. My concern is it's gonna be a setting onthe exporting NFS server, which I don't really have access to [01:33] my sound card [01:33] thanks for the pointer! [01:33] Loshki: I see, trying!

[02:17] I'm wanting to use clonezilla to backup an ubuntu partition to an external USB drive. should I use device->image or device->device? [02:18] device -> image will save the partition to a file [02:19] nautilus that said if the usb drive is a format that doesn't support +4gb files you may end up in trouble [02:19] it has no partition right now [02:19] the usb drive is just plain old empty? [02:19] device->device sounds like the way to go [02:19] yep [02:19] so ya device -> device should work then [02:19] cool, tx [02:20] if you want to use the usb drive after the image i would recommend device -> image and put a filesystem on that usb drive [02:20] Hello guys. How is it going? [02:21] hi guys, i'm having a bit of trouble with my hd. i think it might have failed [02:21] i restarted my box and there's a continuous beep now [02:21] hd doesn't show up in BIOS [02:21] Hi, all === lethu is now known as lettuce [02:22] boot to live disc, hd won't show under fdisk [02:22] anything else to try? === lettuce is now known as Guest27986 === Guest27986 is now known as lethu [02:22] Well Syoutsey, load Disk Utility [02:22] k in it [02:23] K does the HD show up at all? [02:23] syoutsey sounds like a dead drive to me. if you are really desperate to get your data off you can pull the drive out and put it in the freezer and then pull it back out after like 30 mins and try to boot up [02:23] idlemind: looks like it expects me to already have a partition there. About d->i or d->d is either easier for me to review what actually was saved? [02:24] nautilus i'm not a clonezilla expert but i would think that your best bet would be to put a partition and format that usb drive (from ubuntu) then boot back into clonezilla and to d->i [02:24] d->d should create a partition for you [02:24] but i have only done d->d for an entire disk not just a partition [02:24] hello guys.. [02:24] i plan to make dual boot OS, ubuntu and windows but the first i has ubuntu and the second plan is windows. how to re-enable the GRUB/boot loader from ubuntu if it was replace the MBR by windows loader? [02:24] yea, didnt look like it did that for partitions [02:25] anybody can help? [02:25] arnezt i'd check the install disk i think it has a recover system option otherwise in the live cd mode you should be able to execute a grub repair. if you google around a little bit you should be able to find it [02:25] ArNezT, I would install Windows first, [02:25] and arnezt if possible install windows first like brandon said but i think you already ran the install righ [02:25] *right [02:25] Just because of the replacement of the GRUB by installing it second could make things messy. [02:26] but i have ubuntu now [02:26] what is the latest LTS? [02:26] nautilus also i've noticed d->d freaks out when your destination drive is smaller than the partition even if it encompasses free space ... like your partition is 80gb with 20gb used and your usb drive is 60gb the d->d will bomb out [02:26] If it is not possible, you can install Windows 2nd. It isn't a terrible problem, just make a partition first. [02:27] And latest LTS for 11.04 is .04.3 I think. [02:27] ubuntubrandon / arnezt you should be able to boot into the live cd mount your existing ubuntu install and run grub-install feeding it the cfg file that already exists [02:27] I could be wrong. [02:27] Jordan_U, you on? [02:27] it won't damage or change your system or make it messy if you use the same config [02:27] How can I get the program icon back, after I installed another window theme? I did it once, but can't remember how I did it. I had to change a xml file in /usr/share/themes, I suppose. Can't find a solution on the web. Perhaps you can give me better search terms than "icon", because it's all about moving the icons to the right. [02:27] thanks UbuntuBrandon [02:27] *left actually [02:28] yup 10.04.3 is the latest lts [02:28] How about [deXter] or terr? [02:29] so many many programs i have in ubuntu... any othe solution without install windows for dual boot? i want to try vb.net [02:30] ArNezT: you can run winxp in a vm, install virtualbox [02:30] thank you th0r [02:30] ya th0r has your most seamless method [02:30] i'll try that [02:30] Just make sure you can run a VM to spec, bud. [02:31] IdleOne: the partition i want to backup is ext3 ... use the same for the USB backup? [02:31] arnezt: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/virtualbox-ubuntu-1104-natty-narwhal.html [02:31] Does anyone know how to find the exact location of a bad sector on an NTFS partition, and then force the HDD to write to it? [02:31] use that to get the decent virtualbox [02:31] thank idlemind [02:32] thank all guys i'll do that... [02:32] nautilus since clonezilla is linux based i'd format that usb drive with a linux filesystem if possible but you can use ntfs if that trips your trigger [02:32] np gl arnezt [02:32] didnt mention ntfs. i see GpartEd's default is ext2 [02:32] that works too =) [02:32] FoxtrotZero: Hi again. Can you pastebin the output of "sudo smartctl -l selftest /dev/sda"? [02:33] but go with ext3 like the partition I'm backing up? [02:33] Well, Jordan_U, I ran it, but I ran it in a windows command prompt. [02:33] So, yes and no. [02:33] FoxtrotZero, try using Hiren boot from CD [02:33] FoxtrotZero: Please boot Ubuntu and run the command. [02:33] ArNezT: Pardon, can you explain? [02:33] I'm kind of sick of a newer version... Especially the tabs on its side of the desktop. [02:34] Jordan_U: The problem there is I first need an IRC that won't keep dropping out (i.e., firefox) and we couldn't seem to get xchat to work. [02:34] nautilus i'd say as long as it's a native linux filesystem you'll do alright ... with ntfs you may hit a glitch or two just because it's m$ [02:34] FoxtrotZero: You can use Empathy, which comes on the LiveCD by default. [02:34] is it possible to change monitor brightness in terminal mode ( bash )?

[02:40] Primary are your Ubuntu Restricted Extras installed? [02:40] Extras or something like that... [02:40] UbuntuBrandon, I'll see, is that a repository? [02:40] th0r, second [02:41] bsmith093 : rename "s/ *//g" *.mp3 [02:41] Well go to Synaptic and Type Ubuntu-Restricted [02:41] and tell me what is installed. [02:41] bsmith: customize it to your needs [02:42] i have ubuntu-restricted-addons but not ubuntu-restricted-extras, and I can't find w32codecs in apt-cache search th0r [02:42] bsmith: check out this link http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/renaming-multiple-files-at-a-shell-prompt.html [02:42] Also guys, if you are avid youtube visitors, and would like to get a constant content about Linux tips tricks and other cool stuff. I have a new channel there. [02:42] primary: they may be in the restricted extras package....another ubuntu 'improvement' [02:42] They are. [02:43] Just mark the Extras for installation. [02:43] Ps: It's /UbuntuBrandon xD [02:44] what (if any) partition type can windows and linux read&write that supports huge files (fat32 doesn't support >4G files) [02:44] ok, i suck at perl, and im worse at regexp, i need the extension renamed from .cybercom to .eml, can someone write that please? [02:44] th0r, meh, I installed this because I heard it was debian for lazy people which I have become [02:45] Aco, MTFS is the only thing you can install Windows to, I believe. [02:45] primary: and I installed debian because ubuntu is becoming a whole other animal [02:45] NTFS* [02:45] is it possible to change monitor brightness in terminal mode ( bash )? [02:45] you prefer devian to ubuntu?? [02:45] *debian [02:45] francoslv: I prefer old to weekly updates [02:45] m477: xset maybe? [02:46] yeah, I realy like ubuntu, I almost went with Debiean though [02:46] I like what Ubuntu is *trying* to do. Just not the way they are going about it. [02:46] acovrig: thx, i will check [02:46] Jordan_U: Alright, i'm here. [02:46] what do you mean, Brandon? [02:47] But I use it because regardless of Unity, I set everything how I like it. [02:47] m477: I know you can turn the screen on/off (with energy * complient systems) using `xset dpms force off' [02:47] FoxtrotZero: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo smartctl -l selftest /dev/sda"? [02:47] UbuntuBrandon: this is just one example...when I install/reinstall, I add vlc, libdvdcss2, and w32codecs...have for years. But that won't work in ubuntu, will it [02:47] I have the codecs and VLC no problem. [02:47] Jordan_U Command not found. [02:48] acovrig: i'd like to set display brightness levels [02:48] I think that they have a LOT of compatibility issues to work out. [02:48] McQue: Hi there [02:48] UbuntuBrandon: oh yeah, you can get them, but you have to figure out that w32codecs has been renamed. I just got tired of having to relearn everything with every release [02:48] FoxtrotZero: sudo apt-get install smartmontools [02:48] anyone here running Ubuntu on a VM?? [02:49] Yea they come with the Restricteds that you can mark for installation on setup. [02:49] -Running Ubuntu Studio on a VM, but in Ubuntu right now. Doing a review of studio later tonight. [02:49] UbuntuBrandon, I still cannot play wma through vlc, moc, or mplayer [02:50] lisiano, McQue: Hey there McQue and I are working on this together. [02:50] That is Odd, Primary... [02:50] hi,all...what is this ? [02:50] sky__, its a ubuntu help channel [02:50] One moment primary, [02:50] UbuntuBrandon, parole media player(gstreamer(?) came with xubuntu) complains about plugins needed [02:50] thanks widewake [02:51] lisiano: What other commands do we need to run to find why the driver is not loading right? === joshtran1 is now known as josht [02:51] sky__, yep === tholl583xx is now known as tolland [02:51] TBotNik,McQue: You tried to use ndisswrapper. Try to use the Ubuntu Driver [02:51] can i create a chanel for myself ? [02:51] : Yes..why not [02:51] lisiano: Explain ? [02:52] TBotNik,McQue: Take a look inside System -> Administration -> Additional Drivers, your driver might be there already. [02:52] Primary, I am going to link you to a help page, with the commands you need. [02:52] First do you have 64 or 32-bit? [02:52] how ? have GUID ? [02:52] ubottu, 64 [02:52] AMD64 and Intel 64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions#AMD64%20Processors and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. [02:52] Jordan_U: I got the test results, but firefox won't stay open, so I can't pastebin them. [02:52] UbuntuBrandon, 64 [02:52] any easy way to update java? using java 6 update 26, tried following instructions did not work out [02:53] type /join <#your channel name> but remember.The channel name should be unique [02:54] sky__ : for example if you wish to make a channel names "abc" type /join #abc [02:54] FoxtrotZero: sudo software-properties-gtk -e universe && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pastebinit && sudo smartctl -l selftest /dev/sda | pastebinit [02:55] o_o [02:55] 谢谢 [02:55] ：） [02:55] Primary, run this through terminal. "sudo apt-get install w64codecs libdvdcss2" [02:55] rww: ? [02:55] Jordan_U: that's... one heck of a command-line :) [02:56] !cn | sky__ [02:56] sky__: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [02:56] UbuntuBrandon, "Package w64codecs is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source." [02:56] Hi, i cant resize2fs my 16tb ext4 partition. -> resize2fs: File too large while trying to determine filesystem size [02:56] rww: :) [02:56] im tryng to reduce the size [02:56] UbuntuBrandon, what howto are you looking at [02:57] wooooo ~~~~~~~~~~~ .... [02:57] try running this first, sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list [02:57] TBotNik,McQue: Did you find the driver in the list? [02:57] and Primary, also, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-mplayer-and-multimedia-codecs-libdvdcss2w32codecsw64codecs-on-ubuntu-11-04-natty.html [02:57] any easy way to update java? using java 6 update 26, tried following instructions did not work out [02:58] I got no answer in the other channel so thought I would try here. Can I view a file data encrypted with truecrypt with another program if I cannot install truecrypt on the computer? [02:58] lisiano: yes and its working. thanks! [02:58] !id [02:58] join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [02:59] xeneth, if you can unencrypt it, yes. [02:59] I don't see it being an issue. [02:59] TBotNik,McQue: Glad to hear it is resolved. Please post it in the thread and mark the thread as Solved using the Thread Tools [03:00] lisiano: Thanks, friend is showing me how to set permanent links in the /etc/interfaces file, so will always lock in, but thanks again!! [03:01] Xeneth: why aren't you able to install truecrypt [03:01] TBotNik,McQue: There is no need to modify /etc/interfaces ... You can just set up the networks inside Network manager. Once you log in your laptop will automatically look for the network. [03:02] It's a PC I trust, but I do not have admin rights. What's a good portable software to decrypt it? [03:02] !ot | Xeneth [03:02] Xeneth: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [03:02] UbuntuBrandon, so I did all that, installed the w64codecs, enabled medibuntu and installed its mplayer + avcodec, and I still get "Requested audio codec family [wma9dmo] (afm=dmo) not available.". Enable it at compilation. Should I just grab the source and compile it? Jesus christ. [03:03] primary: I have encountered some wma files that just won't play on anything but windows media player [03:03] i lost my network preference on my lucid and make me unable to connect to any network, any solutions [03:04] Primary, lol if these WMAs are that important, yes. I understand that they are your files, but from now on, I suggest MP3 encoding, on EVERYTHING. [03:04] cacti: If you have a wired connection, try using "sudo dhclient eth0" as a workaround. [03:04] Primary, I am sorry that sometimes things do not work as intended. [03:04] lisiano: let me try [03:04] UbuntuBrandon, I did not encode these, and if I want to even make use of these I need to transcode them into another format. I prefer Xiph's Vorbis. [03:04] I can't decode them - so I can't transcode them. [03:05] The patent issues with these codecs is the main reason behind this not being fluidly accessible, you're just suggestion a different poison than the one I already have, UbuntuBrandon. [03:05] UbuntuBrandon, You do not have to be sorry, I'll just compile. [03:05] kih [03:06] can someone explain to me how to make a shortcut on my desktop? i want to make one for chromium and add the -incognito, but i can't edit the one in my launcher. [03:06] On BSD no one gives a shit about these fickle political issues, and so I do find pkgsrc to be sometimes preferable [03:06] DAMN THE MAN. The main concept behind Ubuntu is unity, coming as one, is it not? Let's get with the program, Micro-freaking-soft. [03:06] Apple, you can just go. [03:07] UbuntuBrandon: you are doing this on purpose, aren't you....just waiting for an I told you so [03:07] UbuntuBrandon, ouch. [03:07] lisiano: yes its worked! btw how do i restore back my network preference? [03:07] Th0r, huh? [03:08] and Nickel, why ouch? [03:08] UbuntuBrandon: our previous discussion about debian and the ubuntu learning curve with every update [03:08] cacti: You use Gnome right? "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" should install everything you had when you installed. [03:08] ping clausen [03:08] UbuntuBrandon, i just like your enthusiasm about it, it's great. i dislike osx, and am trying to get into ubuntu... still going to run w7 on the desktop for gaming though. :P [03:09] lisiano: yes, but it said i already have the newest version and no new package to install [03:09] !codecs | primary [03:09] primary: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [03:09] can someone explain to me how to make a shortcut on my desktop? i want to make one for chromium and add the -incognito, but i can't edit the one in my launcher. [03:11] Nickel, the link is /home/[yourusername]/Desktop [03:11] ln -n / ~/desktop/chromium [03:11] I believe that if Microsoft would realize that they have enough money, then they could produce content that is not protected by every copyright in the book, then all users, all around world, regardless of being able to run the Windows software, since they don't rightly support the old versions that they can run... and now i've lost my train of thought. [03:11] BrandonBolton, i'm not following [03:11] I wish... that all users, could create content that all users can be compatible with. [03:12] And that is my point. [03:12] Nickel, I read it wrong. tinybird said the right way. [03:12] Brandon is like the angry bird. Haha [03:13] tinybird, very new to linux, explain please? :D [03:13] Hey guys. I'm trying to restore GRUB to my Ubuntu installation. It was overwritten when I installed Windows. I tried sudo grub, but it says command not found. [03:13] Just take what he said and paste it into the Terminal. [03:13] Also, /sbin/grub can't be found either [03:14] You will have to reinstall GRUB, A7 [03:14] Oh [03:14] you can use the command "ln --help" to read the help [03:14] I'll look into that then [03:14] cacti: Try running these 2 applications from Alt+F2, "nm-applet" and "nm-connection-editor" [03:14] it gives me "bash: chromium: no such file or directory" [03:14] !question what is the comand to change file.log to file.txt ? [03:15] mv ? [03:15] Dns: mv file.log file.txt [03:15] Dns: mv file.log file.txt [03:15] th0r nd IdleOne thx so much [03:15] Nickel find where your Chromium is installed. [03:16] and we will work from there. [03:16] well [03:16] Nickel, first, you have to spot your Chromium directory [03:16] Nickel: 'which chromium' in a terminal [03:16] rename 's/log/txt/' file.log :) [03:16] dspace: rename? [03:17] Oh, the command is "whereis chromium" [03:17] th0r: Yes, it's more useful for multiple files. Kind of log for a single one, but just as valid :) [03:17] Nicke, try chromium-browser [03:18] Nickel, ^ [03:18] ok, it gave me the directory [03:18] dspace: didn't even know that command existed! learn something new every day [03:18] ok now what is it? [03:18] usr/bin/chromium-browser [03:19] TinyBird, what was your command again? [03:19] <- lazy. [03:19] lol [03:20] ln -n / ~/desktop/chromium [03:21] sudo ln -s /usr/bin/chromium-browser ~/desktop/chromium [03:21] Beat me to it. lol [03:21] and that will create a shortcut? [03:21] chmod a+x jre-6u-linux-i586.bin [03:22] ooo who the world runs an 1586 chip anymore? lol [03:22] i* [03:22] Nickel, I think the shortcut is called "soft link" in Linux. [03:22] tinybird, "no such file or directory" [03:22] lol, not a shortcut, a soft link. [03:22] i'll remember that. [03:22] hey now, P4 here ;) [03:23] i thought it was just called a launcher [03:23] That is the bar on your left. lol === syoutsey_ is now known as syoutsey [03:23] can i not just right click the desktop and create a launcher? [03:24] You can if you point it in the right direction for the app. [03:24] BUt, that is for the Launcher Bar [03:24] HI everyone, I have a question about KDE libraries.. I want to use an application that uses KDE dependencies, but I want to know whether these extra libraries will load themselves into memory upon bootup. I would prefer not to load any libraries into RAM by default at startup [03:24] not desktop. But you should be able to make a launcher for the incognito. [03:24] hmmm [03:24] Nicel, maybe you can use Desktop instead [03:24] any easy way to update java? using java 6 update 26, tried following instructions did not work out [03:24] i already have chromium on the launcher, is it possible to edit that one? [03:25] hola [03:25] Maybe, but i am pretty sure you can add a seperate one for Incognito. [03:26] then take off the original. lol [03:26] UbuntuBrandon, feel like walking a noob through that? :D [03:26] I think may be it's upcase problem. [03:27] Ok, right click desktop, make new launcher [03:27] kk [03:27] Name it, and under command click browse. [03:27] kk [03:27] noonday those libraries should only be loaded when you launch the application that depends on them [03:27] Go to Usr/bin and find the chromium incognito thingy. [03:27] lol [03:27] select it. [03:28] UbuntuBrandon, interesting, i tried this earlier [03:28] Brandon is right... [03:28] And you can change the icon, if you do so wish. [03:29] -feels like a noob for not thinking of this earlier. [03:29] i'm really confused now, i tried that earlier and it gave me a root error [03:30] perfect. just added -incognito at the end and it works perfectly [03:30] Hey how is "sudo -s" different from "sudo -i"? [03:30] Yay. High-fives around the chat. [03:31] lmao [03:31] now that i've dragged it onto the launcher, i can delete the one on the desktop, yeah? [03:31] computer_: -i runs root's .login scripts i think [03:31] Yepp [03:31] Nickel, you may try "sudo ln -s /usr/bin/chromium-browser ~/Desktop/chromium" [03:32] deleted it from the desktop, it disappeared from the launcher [03:32] :/ [03:32] i'll try move to [03:32] Ooo so -s is a more straight forward way [03:33] idlemind, thank you for your tip [03:33] tinybird, mind explaining what the "ln" and "-s" mean, exactly? [03:33] tinybird, i want to retain this stuff, lol [03:34] we use the "ln" to create a soft link [03:34] it's just like the shortcut in windows. [03:34] cool. [03:34] and the -s? [03:35] in fact, "ln" have many options [03:35] this is strange, so i have the soft link on the desktop, how do i put it on the launcher, and remove it from the desktop? [03:35] "ln" can also create "hard link" [03:36] soft link for shortcut... hard link for? [03:36] "-s"option indicate that you will create a "soft" link [03:37] i see i see [03:37] "hard link" is a pointer to a file. [03:37] You may find more details in some text book teaching Ubuntu Linux [03:38] tinybird, need to go pick one up :D [03:39] Nickel: the linux documentation project...tldp.org [03:39] su [03:39] Password: [03:39] su: Authentication failure [03:39] i keep gtetting this error... But im the admin, any help? [03:39] "ln --help" will be helpful [03:39] so typically when i open a program, it shows links that i've pinned on the launcher, as well as running applications, the running applications disappear when i close them, of course... when i open this chromium link it does not show up on the launcher, nor will it let me pin it to it [03:39] !root | b__ [03:39] !sudo | b__ [03:39] b__: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [03:39] b__: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [03:39] b__, use sudo instead of su [03:39] th0r, thanks for the link [03:40] th0r, bookmark'd [03:40] well i did use sudo [03:40] and it want working very well [03:41] Is there a way to backup my system installation in a similar way that Windows does? Windows stores the system backup in a .vhd file without needing a dedicated partition. Is there something similar with Ubuntu? [03:41] b__: did it work better than su? [03:41] well [03:41] hold on === b__ is now known as boottotem [03:41] tinybird, did you read what i said above? [03:41] sorry, I have to leave for a while === SoulShadow is now known as Shadows`paper [03:42] tinybird, thanks for the help! [03:42] UbuntuBrandon, any idea what's up with what i said above? [03:44] hi [03:44] anyone? :/ [03:45] Nickel, I just got here what heppened? [03:45] http://projects.gnome.org/seahorse/: "With seahorse you can: Cache your passphrase so you don't have to keep typing it." -- What is "my passphrase"? === Timic_ is now known as Timic [03:46] i created a launcher on the desktop for chromium, so i could add the -incognito at the end to open it incognito by default, if i pin it to the launcher, and delete the one on the desktop, it disappears on the launcher as well [03:46] zach2825, also, hello, and thanks for your time :D [03:47] so what i'm aiming to do is just have it on the launcher, and not the desktop [03:48] just right click on panel > add > add launcher ... don't use the desktop one cause that just makes a shortcut to a shortcut... [03:48] is this the explicit ver# of the installed MySQL?: 5.0.51a-3ubuntu5.8 (Ubuntu) [03:48] Nickel, when you drag things to the panel it make a link to what ever you dragged... and when you delete the icon it deletes the link [03:49] lol, that makes sense [03:49] what exactly do you mean right click on panel [03:49] hold the mouse over it and right click LOL === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [03:49] under the dash? [03:49] it doesn't respond [03:49] :P [03:49] i [03:50] on a clear spot on the bar [03:50] hi [03:50] user, hi [03:50] nothing happens when i right click the launcher [03:50] Nickel, are you using unity? [03:50] that's default right? i just installed ubuntu 11.04 last night [03:51] what would cause glx extensions not to load? [03:51] Nickel, oo I see if you log out you can if you like to. change it to gnome classic. then you will be able to add things to the panel but unity sucks still cause its more restrictive the windows still [03:52] BoomerBile: your video card driver [03:52] zach2825, so if i log back into unity afterwards, will it still be there? [03:52] BoomerBile: checl /var/log/Xorg.0.log for info [03:52] zach2825, thanks for the help, gonna try that now [03:53] Hi..I want to upgrade the BIOS of my Dell vostro 1400.The updates provided by dell are to be installed from windows.Can I upgrade it via ubuntu by any method ? [03:54] Nickel, how is it? [03:55] zach2825, don't have gnome classic, logged into ubuntu classic [03:55] don't have the launcher bar to the left. :P [03:55] oh im sorry I forgot the wording lol oops but same [03:55] yea thats a unity thing [03:55] you can use gnome-do same idea... [03:56] lol... i think i'll have to go without the default incognito then, i was trying to pin it on the unity launcher [03:56] brb, logging again [03:57] Atharva: BIOS updating utilities can usually be run in DOS. The standard solution is to use FreeDOS for this purpose. [03:57] musings, you need nvidia to have glx? === james is now known as Guest79349 [03:57] How is the 'machine hardware name' defined that the command '~$ uname -m' outputs? '~$ info coreutils 'uname invocation' returns the additional information: "sometimes called the hardware class or hardware type" and does not give a definition either. [03:57] Jordan_U : This means I have to install DOS first (Format the pc) ..is it ? [03:58] Nickel, I see for now I don't think you can edit the unity bar [03:58] you can pin things but not edit [03:58] zach2825, even still, i quite like it [03:58] I have a USB drive connected and went to "Places" menu and mounted it, but can't figure out how to open a window that shows the files on the drive. single ext3 partition. [03:58] Atharva: No. FreeDOS can be put on a CD or USB, or even booted without ether using grub and syslinux's memdisk. [03:58] zach2825, can i hide the one i put on the desktop, by chance? [03:59] zach2825, like just... put the launcher elsewhere, but drag it onto the bar? :D [03:59] if you put a . on the front of the same it will see it as a system file [03:59] or here is an idea!!! [03:59] Jordan_U : Is it a type of windows live cd ? [04:00] make a folder called .shortcut put the icon in there then add it to the launcher [04:00] I mean add the icon to the launcher... [04:00] Atharva: No, it is not Windows, it is DOS (a Free and Open Source version of DOS, not Microsoft's). [04:01] Atharva: Most Windows programs will not run from DOS, but most BIOS updating Utilities are specifically designed for DOS. === Mrono is now known as Mrono|AFK === Random833 is now known as Random832 [04:01] anyone using mplayer and gecko in Ubuntu? [04:01] ... [04:01] Jordan_U : Oh..Thanks..n one more thing.does .exe executes on it ? because the BIOS upgrade Dell has provided is .exe.. [04:02] how do I file browse a mounted drive. I'm guessing I know the name of the app that does the browsing but can't figure out how to open it/the directory. When I click on it under "places", nothing happens. Well, first click it made me mount it, so should be good to go. [04:02] zach2825, can't name a folder .shortcut [04:02] how come? should let you let me try it... [04:03] make this folder on the desktop? then name it .shortcut? [04:04] yes, it does rename.. but after you do it refreash by pressing F5 [04:04] it disappeared o.o [04:04] lmao [04:04] how to unhide system files?

On my Thinkpad T61 this 1 does not appear after resuming from suspend. I advise you to launch an error report to Launchpad. [04:34] Osmond: The other two persons are wrong.

[05:55] k [05:55] Anyone see the new Mandriva Linux? [05:55] neodarkness: I don't know if you even have to remove the LCD like they say ... you may just be able to slip the fan out with the LCD attached [05:55] it's sweet [05:56] Ubuntu is still better, but I'm really digging the new Mandriva [05:56] jtrag: in regards to looks? or features? [05:56] and the new openSUSE is just friggin awesome [05:56] Im on a old xp pc so im kinda not used to it, but im on it. Nevertheless, what i truly need is setting cpufreq to ondemand :S [05:56] looks, and features [05:56] especially the new package management system and all [05:56] you should check it out [05:56] I think it's Mandriva 11 if I'm not mistaken [05:57] will do ;) [05:57] cool === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [05:57] Linux Mint is based off of Ubuntu and another good Distro to keep an eye on [05:57] jtrag: can your machine play blu rays natively?

Right now I'm running Ubuntu on my iMac...is a thinkpad a good way to go for a laptop if I'm going to run only Ubuntu on it [05:59] thechad90000: yes, yes and YES [05:59] zetheroo: sounds like you've done this? Haha [05:59] thechad90000: you bet [05:59] thechad90000: Thinkpad and Ubuntu only in my household ;) [06:01] whats a good channel for dmr stuff...this thor thing really has chaped my ass. [06:01] Are u all on you cell irc or on a copmuter? [06:01] i own 4 copies of this movie and i cant watch it?? [06:01] computer [06:01] AndroUser: Mobile, Tablet, Laptop ... wherever it needs to be [06:02] AndroUser, im on a netbook. its how i sneek away from my wife at night to look at ascii porn! [06:02] rofl [06:02] :-D [06:03] zetheroo: I had to leave the room....what kind of Thinkpad is the best to get? I've seen the sight and everything's so customizable that I just don't even know what to do. Haha [06:03] mids rule...i mean what can you say...but i hate the "table experience..." no matter what the os...a keyboard just straight up is the most flexible input device.. [06:04] sorry thats "tablet experience" [06:04] thechad90000: the ones to go for are the T, X and W series [06:04] thechad90000: what you end up with depends on your needs and budget [06:05] elo [06:05] tablet experience == blows IMOP [06:05] hello [06:05] LOL wowo I can hardly take in that you say this in irc,,, everyone else I just found this app on my evo 4g ... [06:06] was that for me? [06:06] ?? [06:07] zetheroo: Yeah I saw the T20 or something for like $700 [06:07] anyway...anyone got advice on this stupid THOR movie problem? [06:07] thechad90000: ummm the T20 is about 10+ years old [06:08] It was on the front page of the site [06:08] Haha [06:08] Well night. [06:08] thechad90000: T420 is where we are at now [06:08] i cant watch the movie..because of some new DMR thing.. I own 4 copies (because i own a video store) and i cant watch it. [06:08] zetheroo: I meant to type T420 [06:08] thechad90000: ah yes ... well the T420 is a mean little machine [06:09] whats a good channel for that sort of thing? [06:09] http://projects.gnome.org/seahorse/: "With seahorse you can: Cache your passphrase so you don't have to keep typing it." -- What is "my passphrase"? [06:09] grendal-prime: DRM* [06:10] zetheroo: That's good to hear. I'm just trying to get as much information about them as possible because I've always heard they're the best. Are there too many issues when Ubuntu on it instead of Windows? [06:10] how do i get invited to the java chat room [06:10] thanks man...im jumping in the wayback machine now... [06:10] grendal-prime, look up the new encryption that they put on the new cd's dvd's multimedia ... Its not that hard to crack /or play ... But getting to find the sit info is a little hard so just a heads up [06:11] k [06:11] thechad90000: honeslty? ... they have been the best for me with running Linux ... more than Linux on any other systems ... since the Thinkpads (T, X and W) stick with well-known, high quality hardware [06:11] by the way there is nobody in drm [06:12] zetheroo: Appreciate it. I'm pumped about getting one [06:12] AndroUser, the thor is different [06:12] anyone have any way I can tag any file, not just videos and music? I tried extended file attributes, but it doesn't work over sshfs... === king is now known as Guest34368 [06:12] bullgard4: I'll guess. Your "passphrase" is your sudo password. [06:12] hi! I've installed apt-cacher-ng on our LAN. It works on ~35kB/sec on client machines, while we've 200kB/sec when downloading from mirror server. How do I configure LAN bandwidth for apt-cacher-ng? [06:12] thechad90000: you can pick the T410 up as well ... they are still very good and getting cheaper all the time ... try Ebay if you want === Guest34368 is now known as jkfbupt [06:13] hi all [06:13] Lasers: Thank you for commenting. [06:13] thechad90000: I buy Thinkpads for my friends and relatives ... they never go back [06:13] anyone know why an installer for the server edition would just stop with the purple background? [06:13] bullgard4: When you use ssh-keygen, it'll generate a ssh key. There will be an option to type in passphrase. So I'm certain that's what it is. [06:14] zetheroo: That's good to hear. I think for my first one I really just want to buy something straight from the company...brand new. I'll probably be getting it here in a few weeks. [06:14] zetheroo: I want to make sure it has all the specifications I want [06:14] bullgard4: For auto-ssh, it's usually left optional -- but it's extra security to have registered/identified key on the server then the passphrase thing. [06:14] thechad90000: are you in the USA? [06:15] zetheroo: Yes [06:15] zetheroo, how good are they ? [06:15] AndroUser: used them for over 10 years and don't bother throwing my money at anything else ;) [06:15] bullgard4 if you are doing something to automate logins...(like scripts that excute remotely) you need to not passphrase the keypair. [06:16] passphrase on sshkeygen == military grade security. [06:17] I have a system with "normal" /boot, and the rest of the system in an encrypted LVM volume. After dist-upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04, my system only boots every other time. [06:17] wich is good..and you can still automate login with a keymanager..but lets face it..i dont care about your porn collection. [06:17] thechad90000: the T420s is the slim version of the T420 ... more awsomer ;) ... but you pay a bit more for it [06:18] thechad90000: are you after 14" or 15"? [06:18] The first time I get nothing after the BIOS screen. The next time I get into Grub. [06:18] JESUS (IM PRAYING NOT CURSING) I JUST WANT TO WATCH THOR!! [06:18] zetheroo: I'll probably get the 15" [06:18] grendal-prime: I do not understand your English "you need to not ". Say it in other words, please. [06:19] thechad90000: oh, so then your going for the T520 [06:19] bullgard4 are you using ssh-keygen to make an ssh keypair? [06:19] zetheroo: I suppose so I guess...haha...honestly I'm not sure what the main differences are between the different models [06:20] grendal-prime: My question at the outset was: "http://projects.gnome.org/seahorse/: "With seahorse you can: Cache your passphrase so you don't have to keep typing it." -- What is "my passphrase"?" Can you answer this question? [06:20] thechad90000: the T4xx are 14" and the T5xx are 15" [06:21] zetheroo: That's the only difference between the two? [06:21] hey, i'm trying to get the server installer to install. can someone help me? it's crashing out after it scans the hardware. [06:21] thechad90000: the T range is 1st class business, the X range is 1st class mobility, and the W range is 1st class production [06:21] thechad90000: That's pretty much it ;) [06:22] probably has something to do with passphrase to your localmachiens keyring. its like a ...well hmm like a master keychain thing...you put your password in one time and then everytime you hit a website that requres a password...it looks it up in the keyring. [06:22] but you have to put in the right password when it askes the first time (per loged int session) [06:22] zetheroo: Well alright then...that seems easy enough. It seems though that the T range, which looked to be the cheapest, could take care of everything I need the Thinkpad for [06:22] look into keyrings. [06:23] thechad90000: then you have the EDGE, which is not Thinkpad even though Lenovo slapped the badge on it, and the L series which is a cross between the R and SL series which have been fazed out ... [06:23] that was all for bullgard4 [06:23] zetheroo, well IM tried of junk ... And windows users(though I like the os..) IM getting tired of them blaming me when something goes wrong for their lack of skills... Then tell them Linux can and is a better match for there slow,or old computer... But they are shy when I would give a free copy and say I would pay to get it fix ,with no money... Rrrr! [06:23] thechad90000: the L series is the "Budget" Thinkpad ... the "Eco" Thinkpad ... forget it ... stick with the good stuff - T,X,W [06:24] zetheroo: sounds like a plan. I really appreciate your help with everything. [06:24] bullgard4 if i remember right the first time you use it it asks you to set it up and by that it means...set a password..then afterwards everytime you do anything that has to do with login info it asks for that password again..you plug it in and it caches...retrieves any password that has to do with web browsing. [06:25] BAM! [06:25] thechad90000: no probs .. if you want you can PM me and I'll give you my support email address [06:25] that help bullgard4? [06:25] grendal-prime I guess reset it [06:26] How do I access the GRUB cli when on boot I'm taken directly into Ubuntu without a grub menu? [06:26] anyone have any way I can tag any file, not just videos and music? I tried extended file attributes, but it doesn't work over sshfs... [06:26] AndroUser, ? [06:27] ThomasB2k: hold down shift key at boot [06:27] ThomasB2k: hold shift when booting [06:27] thank you [06:28] Hey guys, this would be the first time I've installed ubuntu while an existing Windows installation was there. Can I expect a pretty smooth experience for side-by-side? [06:28] I think this has improved hugely and was wondering if it was mostly painless now with the ubuntu installer. [06:28] ninwa: you should be fine ;) [06:28] grendal-prime like go in and find it and reset the keyring... Its a guess.. but something on your PC is messed up... But this is stopping it [06:28] hey guys [06:29] ninwa: unless of course you removed your Windows partition ... :P [06:29] Hi [06:29] does Ubuntu support SSDs? [06:29] and dual screens [06:29] I think so [06:29] Yes [06:29] zetheroo, I haven't done anything yet. I was about to pop the CD in and install it, and usually I do this with intentions of making a clean installation [06:29] I want to install it beside my Windows installation, which is currently the full partition. My understanding is the installer will resize the partition (I hope?) :) [06:29] the full hd, single partition* [06:30] ninwa: clean install is always the best ... if for no other reason to get rid of Windowz :D [06:30] ninwa, do you know how many partitions you have now on the HD? [06:30] urlin2u, just one with Windows [06:30] ninwa, did you install it yourself? === snuxoll_ is now known as snuxoll [06:30] urlin2u, yes, I built the computer :) no system restore partition or anything like that [06:31] I work on computers for a living, I just never had an opportunity to use ubuntus installer to do this exactly [06:31] ninwa, no boot paretition? [06:31] Anyof you tried Wine and play Portal 2 in Ubuntu [06:31] where is the Ubuntu Database of Drivers BTW [06:32] urlin2u, maybe I learn something today :) I did the installation myself, but I'll be honest I never knew there was a need for a "boot partition" I thought that the boot record was sort of this mysterious thing hidden at the beginning of the HD but was "some other thing" [06:32] so, in that case, there must be a boot partition then, I suppose this is why there's always a 100MB partition created by the windows installer as "System Reserved" or some such [06:33] can anyone help me with changing the ssh port on 10.04 ubuntu server? the default ssh_config all the options are #'d and if i uncomment Port 22 and change it to anything else and reload ssh server i get CONNECTION REFUSED [06:33] ninwa, there is a need for one but if you let the windows autoinstall at least with W7 it makes one. [06:33] ninwa, no need I meant [06:33] tried this on 2 different machines that are running 10.04 and had the same issue on both [06:33] ninwa, did you use that installer for Windows to install Ubuntu? [06:33] urlin2u, it created one it seems [06:34] i forgot what it is [06:34] WUBI? Not on this machine. [06:34] yeah [06:34] Nope, this is just a W7 install, and urlin2u as you mentioned, W7 seems to have created a boot partition, will this affect my ubuntu installation? [06:34] zetheroo no font do that... Even though most of Linux stuff can be find its just having it there for the small Linux apps written for windows which wine it a moody thing that likes to fight.... Mm so IM been here a long time and I now that you'll be force to get back to windows for something... Like online collage... Thats a rrrr... Well you get what I mean === Phantom is now known as Guest31799 [06:35] Lasers: Thank you very much for your help. [06:36] hi how can I ...echo "blacklist snd-cmipci" >> /etc/modprobe.d/local.conf...as root...? [06:36] bullgard4: You're welcome. [06:36] ninwa, asked about the amount, I ssupect you know already the limitations of primaries 4 to a HD, ubuntu will go to a extended and boot, so 3 primaries and a extended, with logicals inside I build them ahead of time in gparted, and use the something else option to get the ubuntu in a premade logical. [06:37] ninwa, I guess the side by side works fine, you are subject to the immovable paging files in windows so be prudent. [06:37] i got this error after running fglrxinfo comman http://pastebin.com/JXrjPnqh [06:37] Unmoveable? === sven is now known as Guest26356 [06:39] you cannot shrink a drive beyond the point where any unmovable files are located [06:39] urlin2u, ps: the windows disk management tool was well aware of this and is currently shrinking my partition to half [06:40] Hi I'm having an issue with loging in. When I try and log in I get the following error: "Could not update ICEauthority file/home/ibok/.ICEauthority" [06:40] and that was pleasantly fast.

[06:40] on that note, cheers, see you on the other side [06:40] me-1: sudo -s ; echo "blacklist snd-cmipci" >> /etc... ; exit. [06:40] eddie, maybe delete the file once, or make sure it belongs to you? === Guest26356 is now known as nibbler_ [06:41] ok thanks tankdriver [06:41] ninwa, cool the W7 virtual partitioner saves a few lives I will bet. :D [06:42] Thelmaria, what was problem with line I posted...? [06:43] urlin2u and money **) [06:44] So as it turns out, if you hit "View Release Notes" in the Ubuntu installer it opens firefox, and since I'm connected to the internet already, voila! :) [06:44] It recognized that it was installing alongside W7 though, and was a simple click. === Someguy2 is now known as Someguy2|NotHere [06:46] Hello.

[07:05] bye [07:06] sim-paf: there is something wrong with the loader [07:07] or the linker cannot find the correct lib [07:07] sim-paf: Is there a libc.so.6 in /lib? Mine is in lib/x86_64-linux-gnu, so I just made a symlink from that to lib [07:08] tinybird: i can see /usr/lib/libc.so but no /lib/libc.so [07:08] sim-paf: If the loader for that app is hardcoded to lib, it won't find it. You could do a "sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libc.so /lib/libc.so.6" so fix it [07:09] morning. i have this http://nopaste.info/dca3ca3c64.html script in my rc.local. it gets execued when booting, but host is empty. if i manually run it later it works as desired. any hints? the debug output shows that ifconfig lists all interfaces and the mac addresses are picked up correctly, just the if statment fails. === NevroPus is now known as martiert === adrian is now known as Guest9183 [07:09] i did tried tht but didn't worked out [07:09] Hey [07:10] yeah, I think nibbler's method would affect [07:11] sigh, is there any version of ubuntu that is stable and bug free? [07:11] i just want something that works :( [07:11] tinybird:i did tried tht but didn't worked out [07:11] sim-paf: how didn't it work? couldn't you make the symlink, or couldn't it find it? [07:12] Defusal: I think Ubuntu 10.10 is stable [07:12] hi, I have to reboot a remote machine through ssh and then exec reboot command. Unfortunately, there's a a hardware problem on an attached usb storage device and the command reboot doesn't work. what can I do ? [07:12] no it gave some other error while mounting partitions at system startup [07:13] tinybird, are you sure? 10.04 is supposed to be the LTS release, and its bugged [07:13] sim-paf: by making a symlink? You didn't just move the file then? A symlink shouldn't affect anything [07:13] faLUCE: you can use sync to flush buffers and sysrq to hard reboot [07:14] Defusal: LTS means long term supported, not means no bugs. [07:15] I am using 10.10, and it is very stable [07:15] tinybird, I thought the LTS version is meant to be most stable, but ok [07:15] sterna: sync hangs [07:15] faLUCE: that means you'll just have to hard reboot [07:15] Defusal: LTS is supposed to be the more stable one...but sometimes people make mistakes. [07:16] Defusal: It happens. :( [07:16] Defusal:LTS means the developer will maintain it in a long period [07:16] I guess I will try 10.10 then, hopefully its third time lucky... [07:17] Defusal: Why not try the new one? [07:17] Defusal: 11.04 is the latest, it's what I'm using now. [07:17] thnks sterna [07:17] Defusal: I upgraded to this from 9.04, it was a big change. [07:17] because it was even worse when i tried it a couple months ago [07:17] As I know, 11.04 is not stable enough.

[07:18] I'm not contesting [07:18] some people around me use 11.04, and the X-windows system doesn't work well [07:18] I'm merely curious, as I'm using it. [07:18] and no bugs stopping me from being able to configure my network correctly [07:19] tinybird: what part about it doesn't work? [07:19] hi, can anyone tell me why my windows don't have minimize, maximize, close buttons in unity?

[07:20] the cursor's position is not move as your mouse click [07:20] tinybird: Okay, I'm going to chalk any problems you were having with X to my-machine-doesn't-have-those-problems then. [07:20] because all of these problems are very unfamiliar to me. [07:20] yeah i remember some sort of graphics issues when i tested on another machine [07:20] and also, bad performance [07:21] Defusal: If you need 100% reliability, I suggest not using a desktop linux distribution. [07:21] ohzie is right, after all, linux is a free software. [07:21] ohzie, so i should install ubuntu server (which version?) and then install X and a window manger? [07:22] manager* [07:22] Defusal: what is this system for [07:22] hey, how can i do a script that if argument is not 1,2 then exit and if its 1 then do somthing1 and if its 2 then do somthing 2 [07:22] i dont have time to learn another distro and I like debian-based distros, ubuntu being the more developed one [07:22] ohzie: webcam object detection and recognition [07:23] Defusal: I suggest you not use X-windows system [07:23] Defusal: what tinybird said. [07:23] Defusal: If reliability and stability is that important, X is probably not a good idea [07:23] tinybird: I require it for webcam related development... [07:23] ^ [07:23] Defusal: develop on a desktop [07:24] Defusal: Run on a production machine [07:24] production being something very stable [07:24] I would never install X on a usual server, but in this case, it is required... [07:25] I dont have time to install another machine right now, nor am i even sure if the software supports running headless or without X libraries [07:25] ohzie cuz 11.04 and up have many bugs and itsmy friendly to the ubuntu standards.. As mmm.... Some old stuff dint work, and gpu Haha! Good luck getting it to work [07:25] Defusal: And don't ever let people tell you that Ubuntu Server isn't comporable to Debian in terms of, well, anything. In my experience, Ubuntu's server release has better hardware support - though, that's arguable. It could simply be *different* hardware support. [07:25] how unstable can X really be? [07:25] 99.8% reliability would be ok [07:25] AndroUser: I didn't need any luck, my machine is just very simple. Nothing complicated here. [07:26] Ohiz as the desktop goes... [07:26] ohzie: I have never had any issues with ubuntu server in the past, I have used it for countless servers [07:26] [:) [07:26] Defusal: Yeah, Ubuntu server is great. [07:26] em, that's a little headache, X-windows VS Stability [07:26] So can anyone confirm that 10.10's network manager is not bugged? [07:26] because 10.04's is screwed [07:27] Defusal: I can confirm that my machine with 10.10 on it, before I upgraded, worked perfectly fine, and that I used the network-manager gnome-applet to connect to wireless networks at work and home with no difficulties...but that was on the HP [07:27] Defusal: I can also confirm that my lenovo, with the BC43 crap in it, had endless problems with wireless. [07:28] Defusal: The HP uses an Atheros chipset. It _just works_. [07:28] ohzie, did you set up a manual ipv4 address with gateway? [07:28] Defusal: Certainly not [07:28] then that doesnt help me [07:28] Defusal: For static, you don't need network manager [07:29] wireless dhcp works fine, for local network access [07:29] Defusal: Uninstall it [07:29] but being a server, i require static configuration [07:29] manual configuration does not work either [07:29] I have not used wireless network, but wired network works well [07:29] i've set it up plenty times on ubuntu server in the past [07:29] not for wireless though [07:30] but it seems like it should be simple enough [07:30] Defusal: So, configure /etc/network/interfaces ? [07:30] for the simplest setup, this is turning out to be a weeks worth of work... [07:30] I did, it did not work. [07:30] jjay [07:30] eh, typo [07:31] i will try remove the network manager [07:31] Why are you using network-manager on a server? [07:31] ^^^ [07:31] because its ubuntu desktop, for X [07:32] as i said, its not so much of a server, since its for webcam recognition [07:32] but it needs to be stable [07:32] Defusal: I might suggest a separation of the 'development' and 'production' machines, in some way. [07:33] you already suggested that, and that obviously ideal, but as i said, not a possibility at this stage [07:34] Fair enough. [07:34] If you're having stability problems with newer version of ubuntu, backtrack to 9.04 [07:34] i simply need this up and running as soon as possible, its been days already just to get a stable distro installed and get networking working [07:34] It was rock solid, never broke, never did anything wrong that I remember [07:35] Hi Room [07:35] hi [07:35] I will do so if I have any further issues with 10.04 [07:35] I have a specific issue [07:35] I will setup an external monitoring service to watch the machine for downtime [07:36] hello i desperatly need some help [07:36] I have a program which calls a command by popen [07:36] I've noticed the gnome gui of 10.04 is not as responsive as I would like it to be [07:36] the command can be executed only by sudoers [07:36] especially after boot [07:36] sting049, aks away. [07:36] ask [07:37] k but its kinda long [07:37] hopefully it wont be such an issue due to the nature of this box, but now i at least know not to install 10.04 on my future desktop machine [07:37] i have tried several times to download and install ubuntu inside windows but keep getting these errors at the end of the install process i got this from the log please read it all theres two or three error codes 09-18 20:48 DEBUG downloader: download finished (read 198 bytes) 09-18 20:48 INFO saplog: Verified a signature from ID:'46181433FBB75451'. 09-18 20:48 INFO saplog: Checking block bindings.. 09-18 20:48 INFO saplog: [07:37] >buy cheapest new HP laptop on hp.com [07:37] >no hardware problems at all with ubuntu [07:37] >delayclose.jpg [07:38] sting049, you have the ISO? [07:38] hi, how do I get ubuntu to recognise 2 monitors? === erkan is now known as Guest19916 === static_void is now known as static_void_ [07:39] I just brought up monitor preferences, I'm hitting detect monitors, but since the upgrade to newest ubuntu from 10.10, it doesn't recognise my second one?! [07:40] Hello [07:40] hi [07:40] Defusal what are you running? and its confusion and slow at first 1 month but after you master them and talk to experts, read the forms,ask for help,,, in he end you get to know more here then in a class room you pay for and 90-97% is free(all the rest you pay for but they turn around and help give you the very free things you have know, just asking you to trade a bit of time... Oh but like I was saying in the end .. Like me I learn this === Guest19916 is now known as nakre [07:40] Whatever hapened to Curacao in ubuntu ? [07:40] Master the basics* [07:41] ubuntu only knows of 2 places none of which is the Island of Curacao ( population est. 150000) [07:41] what is a downscript? [07:41] Shimon look for the driver or reason why [07:42] anyone there to answer my question? [07:42] htlm, I am talking about the response time of the gui... i am not confused about anything, i know how to use ubuntu desktop [07:43] String your iso might be bad or CD [07:43] htlm, CD ? [07:43] Defusal: I have always found both gnome and kde too heavy on overhead to be responsive. Try some of the other DE and you might find things improve nicely. I use xfce, but you might like lxde or one of the others [07:44] Defusal what are you needs [07:44] anandvenkat4, it would help to have some context. [07:45] hi, just trying sort the annoying numlock by following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NumLock , but i end up, The document could not be saved, as it was not possible to write to /etc/gdm/Init/Default. [07:45] Check that you have write access to this file or that enough disk space is available. [07:45] "error: invalid argument in libvirt was built without the 'gsx' driver" - any chance that I can connect virsh to a GSX hypervisor on 11.04? [07:45] th0r, yeah, well in this case, once complete, there will be almost no gui user interaction on the box, so it should be ok.. i guess its not caching everything needed in the ram, so the usb flashdrive im using as the system disk is slowing it down (i dont have a hard drive for it, as its a laptop with a broken screen), but it will only be used for a couple months anyway [07:46] the idea is, the laptops battery will protect it against downtime due to power failures [07:47] nakre, you need to open the file with gksudo gedit /etc/gdm/Init/Default [07:48] but now, after removing the network-manager and rebooting, i still only have local network access... with the dns server added to /etc/resolv.conf, it resolves the ip of external addresses but cannot reach them... sigh [07:48] Xfce is nice, and low over head .... Fedora as you install can pick everythink from the start you need, and even do some autoconfigure for you [07:48] Defusal, use tmpfs for all folders that contain cache contents that can be discarded upon shutdown [07:48] is there a safe way to remove pulseaudio from ubuntu 11.04? [07:49] urlin2u: gedit does not let me edit the file.. [07:49] kate does tho [07:49] Defusal read my last entery [07:49] lapion, is there an easy way to set up the system to use tmpfs for all temp things, such as the swapfile? [07:49] nakre, try nano [07:49] htlm: you didnt reply? [07:50] htlm, i just said that internet is still not working, and i need to solve it.. [07:51] Google it its out there , but it well take you a hr. Toget it to properly work... Case dependen [07:51] Ohhh... [07:51] Ok [07:52] i wouldn't be here if google could solve my issue... [07:52] nakre, is kate a kde editor? [07:52] urlin2u: yes [07:52] Well plug it in and restart.. Then try to update. Ping google to see its the PC or the router [07:53] Defusal how new are you [07:53] i have setup plenty ubuntu servers in the past, and a couple debian ones too... i am not new to manual network configuration. i havn't setup wireless manually before, but since local network access is working, it cannot be the issue, so there is something messed up with ubuntu using my gateway [07:53] not new... [07:54] Defusal, is it tyhe card perchance wha is it? [07:54] the [07:54] i've used ubuntu for servers for about 5 years [07:55] like i said, local network access is working, so it cannot be the interface urlin2u [07:55] Ahh that darn bug.. I think it is .. What Crossan are you ? [07:55] dns even works, its just the gateway that is broken [07:55] Version [07:55] hi, I am trying to setup/manage my chat account using the Me/Messaging Menu on the top right corner [07:55] 10.04.3 [07:55] Defusal: what does route show? do you have a default route and gw defined? [07:56] Defusal [07:56] but it looks like it's underlying multi-protocol messaging client is Empathy [07:56] Defusal upcoming [07:57] th0r, default's gateway is correct in route === Kasjopaja23111 is now known as Kasjopaja [07:57] htlm: what? [07:57] Is it easy/possible to have the Me/Messaging Menu (located on the top right corner) to use a different multi-protocol client? [07:57] Have you lan connect? === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest12658 [07:58] Defusal have you lan connected [07:58] 怎么 [07:59] htlm: i am using wireless, as i do not have a free ethernet port anywhere near the box, but there is an access point less than a meter away. as i said, lan is working fine, its just internet that is borked. [08:00] Defusal focus please.. [08:00] Defusal, it's largely a manual job of searching out folders that are frequently written to. [08:00] Defusal then go plug it in [08:00] How do I add an applet (or indicator) that enables me to set the cpu frequency in unity? [08:00] Defusal, try using an external usb hdd, then your problems should disappear like snow in the sun [08:01] Is it easy/possible to have the Me/Messaging Menu (located on the top right corner) to use a different multi-protocol messaging client? [08:01] RickyBoy just like the old ones... [08:01] I have a mythtv-system with the root partition on an external hdd, my current desktop/laptop is running of an external usb drive due to bugs in the internal SATA bay [08:01] htlm: you are not helping, rather leave this up to someone else who may know [08:01] RickyBoy, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/12/indicator-cpufreq-cpu-frequency-scaling-indicator-applet/ === somicuthbert is now known as lekundyao === Bry8Star{GB is now known as Bry8Star2g [08:02] Defusal IM guessing you trying to connection to the internet right ? [08:02] lapion, yeah well, i'll see how performance goes, i dont have money for an external 2.5" drive right now, and a powered one would defeat the point of the laptops battery being a backup in power failures [08:03] Defusal, startup the dhcp client manually [08:03] htlm: the fact that you are guessing that now, after i told you that and all the details of my issue more than once, is the reason you cannot help me [08:03] lapion: i need manual static configuration === Bry8Star2g is now known as Bry8Star{GB [08:04] Defusal, get a double header external usb-case, should only cost $5 or $10 insert an old hdd. [08:04] Defusal, then use ifconfig [08:05] lapion: i dont have a spare old laptop hard drive, else i would be using that.. inside the laptop [08:05] anyone want to help with a web project for programming experience? [08:05] lapion, how is that supposed to help anything? i can see my configuration is correct... [08:06] Defusal OK then...i wasn't here for your detail only bits of it, but I thinking u needed on the net [08:06] Sorry [08:06] cdh473, which group or institution is this project associated with? [08:07] I need someone to help me find a workaround to some sort of bug stopping ubuntu from correctly using my gateway. [08:07] so far it's been a solo project, but i'm looking to expand on it [08:07] as it's getting quite large [08:08] cdh473, you'd probably want to mention the languages and frameworks used, so that anyone potentially interested will know if they can even consider it [08:08] Is it easy/possible to have the Me/Messaging Menu (located on the top right corner) to use a different multi-protocol messaging client? [08:09] javascript/php are the main languages, graphics are done with SVG [08:09] the graphical bootscreen does not work, where/how can i set "set gfxpayload=text" as default ? (not at OS edit at bootscreen because can not save settings there) [08:09] and it uses Raphael JS for SVG [08:09] erkan_ grub.cfg? [08:10] All I can say is ubuntu lts and routers sometimes have a hard time connecting.. It happen to me a few times.. look for the dr_willis he knows tons and its the main guy for you problem [08:10] Defusal sorry I couldn't help .. Night all [08:10] Defusal: So you can ping gateway and DNS server but not google.com, correct? What does 'route' give? [08:11] the project is a Web OS with in-browser touchscreen compatibility [08:11] on a unix host [08:11] you probably want to edit the grub.cfg file yourself. *Remember to do change permission before you can edit it [08:11] s/do// [08:12] scarleo, correct, pinging google resolves the ip but thats it. default's gateway is correct in route [08:12] Defusal: Also, what's in /etc/network/interfaces ? [08:12] also if it makes any money, it will be split between all developers [08:12] Defusal: ok [08:13] Defusal: Can you confirm internet is working on another box on same network? [08:13] scarleo, i set up the wireless card with static ip configuration following some online instructions, its not far off from wired configuration [08:14] it was last time i checked, but i can go test quickly [08:14] Defusal: do so just to make sure [08:15] what's Ubuntu One like? [08:15] Defusal: what kind of environment, home network with DHCP router? [08:18] Just installed the cpufreq applet, how do I make i show up? [08:18] RickyBoy: If in Gnome just right click toolbar and choose add applet or similar [08:18] I'm in unity [08:19] scarleo: it works fine. the gateway i am trying to use is a windows server with internet connection sharing, network uses static ips [08:20] RickyBoy: There is no applet support in unity, google for solutions [08:20] i wish manual network configuration in ubuntu would just work :/ [08:21] Defusal: Well, it does if done correctly ;) It will probably be a "Ahh!" [08:21] Defusal: how does it not work [08:22] scarleo, ok [08:22] hi [08:23] Defusal: if you mean the fact if you don't disable NetworkManager, it comes along and dumps all over your config in "interfaces", yeah, thats annoying. NetworkManager could just read interfaces and not manage interfaces set to manage. [08:23] ikonia: please read up, i have explained 3 times already [08:23] scarleo, as i said, i have configured ubuntu server manually tons of times in the past, this seems like a bug. [08:23] on logitech bluetooth mouses, there are now one button in three (the middle one, which can click down, left and right), how can I configure it on ubuntu ? [08:24] Pumpkin-, sure, but i removed the network-manager hoping it would solve the issue, though it does not. [08:24] ikonia: Defusal is able to ping gateway and DNS but not actually access web pages if I got it right [08:24] so [08:24] scarleo, i cant ping external addresses [08:25] Defusal: Ok? I got it wrong then, thought you said DNS was ok? [08:25] Defusal: which address can you not ping, can you give me an example [08:25] Defusal: So no traffic whatsoever outside of LAN? [08:25] scarleo, the dns server is the same windows box that is the gateway, it resolves addresses to ips fine, but ping received no response [08:26] ikonia, google.com [08:26] heihei [08:26] scarleo, exactly [08:26] if you are pinging the windows box, it is likely that the firewall does not allow icmp requests [08:26] 有然没 [08:26] Defusal: what is the error you get if you ping google.com [08:26] aeplus, i can ping any windows box on my network fine, including the gateway [08:27] 有中国人没有？ [08:27] ikonia, like i said, the dns resolves fine, there is just no response to the ICMP packets... [08:27] 在 [08:27] how to test a bug after fixing [08:28] kanha, usually you write the test to recreate the bug, then fix the bug, then rerun the test... if it does not reoccur, then the bug is fixed [08:28] Defusal: what happens if you ping 209.85.229.99 [08:28] hellow === conversions is now known as Demicolon9 [08:29] ikonia, the same thing as any other address external to LAN, 100% packet loss.. [08:30] Defusal: so something beyond your gateway (or your gateway) is not relaying icmp [08:30] Defusal: I don't see that as an ubuntu issue, more something on the network/isp you're using [08:30] ikonia, sigh, how many times do i need to say this, there is no issue with the gateway. the issue is with ubuntu. [08:30] Defusal: why do you think that ? [08:31] ikonia, you are wrong. [08:31] Defusal: ok, expalin why I am wrong, give me your reasoning [08:31] and how recreate a bug i mean how to run bug source code.... [08:31] because im a system/network admin, and a software engineer, i have tested from another machine, the gateway is still 100% functional, like it has been for many years. [08:32] Defusal: ok, so look at it from this point of view. [08:32] Defusal: 1.) you can ping internal addresses from ubuntu (the gateway) so that means your ubuntu box is allowing icmp through and responding to it, agreeed yes/no ? [08:32] i dont want to look at it from any point of view, i want a solution, or at least some direction to go about troubleshooting the issue with ubuntu [08:33] Defusal: if you walk it through with me, maybe we can find one [08:33] Defusal: Don't you have any logs in the gateway box that might reveal what's going on? [08:33] its been an hour already and no one has been able to give me a single thing to try [08:33] Defusal: becaus eyou're not giving us information to work with, work it through with us [08:33] ikonia: LAN works fine, dns does too, the gateway does not. [08:33] Defusal: Or maybe /var/log/syslog might have something on Ubuntu box? [08:33] Defusal: so you can't ping the gatewa ? [08:33] Hello guys, I bought HP dv7-4285dx which comes with switchable graphics, I don't know how to configure it:-( and the second issue I am having is that I have 6GB of RAM but when I installed ubuntu 11.04 on it It shows me 2GB only? [08:33] Defusal: oops, "so you can't actually ping the gateway" [08:34] bull, i have given you every detail i have, and anything (however redundant it may be), that i was asked for [08:34] Defusal: work through it with me, I'm only just coming into the problem [08:34] suraj: "switchable graphics" means optimus (intel/nvidia)? isn't supported yet [08:34] Defusal: can you ping the gateway yes/no ? [08:35] ikonia, i already said, i can ping the gateway, like any other local box on my LAN, fine. [08:35] llutz it's intel/ATI-readon [08:35] Defusal: ok, so you agree the ubuntu machine is allowing ICMP in/out based on that test ? [08:35] i am getting really annoyed at having to repeat the same thing multiple times to the same people, not only because its wasting my own time, and theirs, but spamming the channel [08:36] Defusal: drop the attitude, I'm trying to help you here, however I'm going through the detail as "I" don't have it all [08:36] ikonia, yes..................... [08:36] Defusal, if you are using a windows server with network sharing the ballgame has changed. The windows network sharing only share with computer that got it's address from it's dhcp [08:36] ikonia, i told you that a few times already :( [08:36] Defusal: so if you login to the gateway, (whatever device it is) do you see the icmp echo request hitting the gateway ? [08:37] Somehow a perl script got into my home folder, executed itself, and posted my personal email archive to usenet! How could that happen? I've only used apt to install software from official repos! Have i been hacked? [08:37] ikonia, you are really not helping [08:37] SatansChoice: it sounds like you have been compromised, yes [08:37] Defusal: I can if you walk it through with me [08:37] SatansChoice: can you pastebin the script? [08:37] ikonia, i have said many times, this is an issue with ubuntu not using the gateway correctly [08:37] Defusal: can you see the icmp echo request on the gateway for a sucessful ping ? [08:38] Defusal: I'm not disagreeing, I'm asking you to work it through with me [08:38] Defusal, are you reading all comments that contain your name ? they are usually highlighted. [08:38] ikonia, which is not helping [08:38] Defusal: if you ping the gateway from the ubuntu machine, do you see the sucessful ping on the gateway device (eg: does it log icmp echo request) [08:38] i am starting to think that it will be quicker to learn a new distro, download and install that, than actually get someone to help me solve a ubuntu networking bug... [08:38] Defusal: ok, you do that, use another distro - bye [08:38] Defusal, if you are using a windows server with network sharing the ballgame has changed. The windows network sharing only share with computer that got it's address from it's dhcp [08:39] lapion, sorry, i may have missed some due to all of ikonias spam, i will read up once i have responded to private messages [08:39] Defusal: try damm small linux? [08:39] Oh my god! How do i remove the emails from usenet man! [08:39] llutz_ it's intel/ATI-readon [08:39] Defusal, you are spimming in here with your windows sharing crap [08:39] great, op abuse [08:40] Defusal, you are spimming in here with your windows sharing crap [08:40] Defusal: drop the attitude or leave - that was your only warning [08:40] Defusal: you are being an ass, the guy tried really hard to be nice to you [08:40] lapion: that is incorrect, i have used this windows gateway for many years for all sorts of operating systems and i only use static addresses on my network [08:41] SatansChoice: can you share that script via pastebin? [08:41] Defusal, in that case make sure you turn off the firewall (ufw) in ubunut [08:41] ubuntu [08:41] almoxarife, ikonia, im sorry for being an ass, but the past hour has been taken up mostly by ikonia and htlm asking me the same questions repeatedly, and nothing else [08:41] I deleted the script [08:42] lapion, i didnt think that could block IMCP packet responses, but i will try [08:42] Defusal: I spoke to you for 11 minutes, not 1 hour, this is your final chance to drop the attiude and talking nosnense [08:42] ICMP is not being blcoked [08:42] you have proved that by pinging the gateway [08:42] Defusal: did you by any chance decide to experiment with iptables/firewall/ufw in ubuntu? [08:43] if you can ping the gateway and it responds to the ubuntu ping, icmp is not being blocked [08:43] Greetings, I have been trying to install Ubuntu on a drive on an Etron USB 3.0 port. Ubuntu 11.04 does not even see the drive. Then I tried 11.10 and it sees it and I am able to install, but when I restart it does not boot. [08:43] which is why I asked you if you agreed ICMP is not being blocked by the ubuntu box, due to the test of pinging the gateway [08:43] almoxarife: this is a clean installation, i downloaded the ISO 2 days ago. [08:43] ikonia, well thats what i thought too [08:43] Defusal: if you have pinged the gateway and it responds to the ubuntu box, ubuntu is not blocking ICMP at any level [08:43] CosmicVoyager, are you shure the bios can boot off the usb 3.0 port ? [08:44] but i have not been given anything else to go with :/ === ximpul_ is now known as ximpul [08:44] i am really out of options here [08:44] Defusal: if you are pinging beyond the gateway and it's not responding, something on the gateway is not forwarding the request outgoing, or most likley not forwarding the request back correctly [08:44] What kind a monster would write such a script? Some antisocial psychopathic geek! [08:44] Defusal: sorry, I'll rephrase that as I wasn't clear if you'll induldge me [08:44] short of downloading 10.10, formatting and trying that instead of 10.04 [08:44] CosmicVoyager, is the usb 3.0 port integrated in the motherboard ? [08:44] Defusal: this is not an ubuntu issue [08:45] Defusal: if you can ping the gateway and it responds, ICMP is working on ubuntu [08:45] ikonia, as i have said multiple times, the gateway is most definitely not the issue, it is ubuntu [08:45] sigh [08:45] lapion> i am not sure how that works. yes the usb 3.0 port is on the motherboard and usb 3.0 is an option enabled in BIOS [08:45] the issue is *not* with ICMP [08:45] Defusal: as I've said to you, it's definatly the gateway [08:45] sigh [08:45] Defusal: can the gateway machine see the ubuntu machine? [08:45] it is with ubuntu using the gateway [08:45] i swear i have said that 10 times already [08:45] Defusal: right, so the issue is the gateway [08:45] Defusal: I've said it 10 times to, but you're not listening [08:46] ikonia: you are wrong, and since you refuse to see that, rather stop trying to help. [08:46] Defusal: can you browse the web ? [08:46] Defusal: on the ubuntu machine, lets remove ICMP from discussion, can you browse the web [08:46] lapion the motherboard uses an etron controller which did not work with 11.04 bt was suppossed to be fixed in 3.0 kernel [08:46] Defusal: (or any other web based service from the ubuntu machine) [08:47] Sorry then.. Night.... Try in 5 gee when the other side of the world theat speaks English is up... Then u have a better chance for help [08:47] what does the ubuntu dvd contain? [08:47] 5hours [08:47] how to change /boot/grub/grub.cfg permission to edit it ? [08:47] ikonia: if i could, would i be telling you ubuntu is not using the gateway correctly? [08:47] htlm: dude it's 10am in the uk [08:47] CosmicVoyager, is grub loaded ? are you shure the usb boot device is first in line to boot ? have you tried using the bios-bootselector ? [08:47] erkan_: you don't [08:47] Defusal: so you are totally cut off at every level from anything beyond the gateway [08:48] almoxarife: ? [08:48] Defusal: sorry, when I first started talking to you as I was told it was just ping/icmp was the issue, which is why I'm asking you to work it through [08:48] i have been unable to use apt-get to download anything, which is the main reason i am trying to get internet working [08:48] lapion yes, usb hard disk drive in first. how do you use the boot selector? [08:48] erkan_: grub is changed editing another file [08:48] Defusal: ok, so can you please do "netstat -rn" and show me the output in a pastebin please. [08:48] ikonia, yes, you misunderstood, which is why i kept trying to tell you its a gateway issue [08:49] i will try after its finished rebooting again [08:49] Defusal: repeating it's not a gateway issue doesn't help, explaining the problem does [08:49] Defusal: please, when it's back pastebin the output and lets see what's going on [08:49] Lol. night Adel Defusal good luck , and try not to burn out [08:49] erkan_: /etc/default/grub [08:49] well almoxarife i need use set gfxpayload=text as default for grub.. graphical mode either broken for me [08:49] ikonia is this irc highlighting when i type your name? [08:50] erkan_: /etc/default/grub is the file to change, run "sudo update-grub" after you're done [08:50] CosmicVoyager: yes [08:50] lapian...oops i meant lapain...is this irc highlighting when i type your name [08:50] erkan_: like llutz said [08:50] CosmicVoyager, depending on which bios/brand your mainboard has during startup the system should tell you which key does boot selection, usually F9/F10 ESC or something similiar [08:50] oh god\ [08:51] internet works now, after a second reboot [08:51] how retarded [08:51] lapion, yes i saw that. its F12. when i press that it just restarts [08:51] thanks for trying to help everyone [08:51] well, we'll never no, but at least your working [08:51] know [08:51] i guess we'll never know the exact cause [08:51] lapian it says F12 BOOT MENU [08:52] i will try it again... [08:52] llutz_: there is not $linux_gfx_mode to change text mode tho ? [08:53] Good day everyone. I'm trying to enable and use IPv6 on my Ubuntu 11.04-machine, I've tried to add my IPv6 address to eth0 (I still want to be able to use IPv4) and add the correct route, but nothing seems to work. And this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IPv6 article did not help at all, it's just about tunneling. [08:53] Anyone got any ideas? [08:53] Markslap: ipv6 should auto configure if your network supports [08:53] And I have a /64 subnet of IPv6 addresses assigned to my machine. [08:53] Markslap: otherwise you are stuck with v4 [08:54] what the hotkey for banshee volume up and down? [08:54] Markslap: does your router/dhcp server handle v6? [08:54] graingert: Well, the only think that is there from the start is the loopback for IPv6. [08:54] graingert: yes. [08:54] graingert: It's a server. [08:54] Markslap: does it work on any other machines? [08:54] erkan_: add a line GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD=text [08:54] Yes, a friend of mine have a server in the same server hall and he can use IPv6. [08:54] Markslap: you might want #ubuntu-server [08:55] graingert: Okey, I'll check that channel out. [08:55] Cheers. [08:55] llutz_: that file also gives me same error when try save it, no permission.. [08:55] erkan_: sudo nano /etc/default/grub [08:55] Markslap: also you shouldn't have ips assigned to your machine [08:56] Markslap: it should simply be a subnet available to the network [08:56] Markslap: and then machines just pick with ip they get with the prefix the dhcp server gives them [08:57] erkan_: you need to edit the grub file with 'sudo' , the grub file in /etc/default [08:57] lapian ok i use dthe boot menu and select USB HDD and it didn't work...there was no drive activity. i dont understand how if 11.10 is required to access the disk,, how it can boot from it [08:57] almoxarife: yeh got it, whats to save it in nano pls ? [08:57] graingert: Well, I ordered a /64 of IPv6 addresses, so it may not be "assigned", but I can use them. It's Ubuntu that fails, not the network. [08:57] lapain, doe ubuntu put something on the disk that can be loaded to boot? [08:58] erkan_: ctrl-x "y" [08:58] graingert: Everything outside of the machine works fine. [08:58] erkan_: I am nano stupid [08:58] ah llutz_ well seems exit is save then lol [08:58] Markslap: odd [08:58] How do I install Danish spellchecking for Thunderbird? What package should I install? [08:58] Markslap: talk to your sysadmin [08:58] lapion ok i use dthe boot menu and select USB HDD and it didn't work...there was no drive activity. i dont understand how if 11.10 is required to access the disk,, how it can boot from it [08:59] hi, annyone here who can explain me how to set up an emailserver on ubuntu. or know of a webpage or tutorial that can? [08:59] graingert: Well, it's a dedicated server (root server), not a managed server. [08:59] lapion doe ubuntu put something on the disk that can be loaded to boot?

[08:59] !mailserver > RubenHaan [08:59] RubenHaan, please see my private message [08:59] Markslap: because it should just work [08:59] Markslap: you can give ip's to boxes [09:00] but you shouldn't [09:00] send/receive mails [09:00] RubenHaan: ubottu send you a privatemessage with a link to the serverguide for just that [09:00] hello fellows > do you know a data recovery software which can help recover data from broken formatted HDD ???

I have my w7 on C, and made a partition on another internal so i cen install linux there. More space. I'm following this guide (http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2011/05/04/manual-disk-partitioning-guide-for-ubuntu-11-04/) but I'm not sure if i can do what he says on my current partition, and what device to choose for boot loader [09:57] Total_Oblivion: Okay, wait for me a minute... [09:57] What's the best way to backup/remove a windows installation, with minimal overhead, so a new ubuntu installation can access files on that image? === NevroPus is now known as martiert [09:57] sunlight: feel free to repeat your question every 15-20 minutes or so [09:58] thanks [09:58] Total_Oblivion: OK, how much space do you have for ubuntu's partition? [09:58] J11: you don't have to do anything, ubuntu can read ntfs [09:59] but I'm removing the current partitions [09:59] what is the way to strip non aplhanumeric chars to make folder variable safe i want user to put his project name and then generate a folder name, ie var="enter your project .nam#@e" ... var="enter_you_project_name" [10:00] I thought about dd-ing but that would copy whitespace too [10:01] Hello!! [10:01] Please tell me how can I find duplicated files. [10:01] unless i shrink the ntfs partition first, but i hoped there were other ways to make an image [10:02] Syria: try install fdupes [10:02] Stanley00: 60GB [10:02] J11: just copy the files you want somewhere [10:02] Stanley00: fdypes words via terminal right? is there anything that has a gui? so i can select files that I want to remove? [10:03] Syria: try fslint then ;) [10:03] amircx: try #bash [10:03] Can I make a cronjob using sudo crontab +e that opens a gnome-terminal? Then runs shutdown 10. I want this to display the shutdown message in the recently open gnome-terminal. Since the users probably don't have a terminal open they would not see the shutdown message unless I do it like this? [10:03] Stanley00: Thank you very much. :-) [10:03] jrib: well just in case they have to put the windows back, they like to keep all permissions/acl/system flags in place [10:04] J11: check out partimage, I don't know if it does ntfs [10:04] AttaBOY: that's not a good design as how would you force the terminal to the display [10:04] Total_Oblivion: so, I think the best way is to have / and /home on difference partition, you can spit 60Gb to 20Gb for / and 40Gb for /home [10:04] *better* [10:04] AttaBOY: easier to look at gtk message popup tools, [10:04] ikonia: Thank you. [10:05] tbh the desktop should handle shutdown events [10:05] Stanley00: and use just those two? what about the /boot and swap? (I'm pretty useless when it comes to these things) [10:05] Total_Oblivion: dont worry about the /boot, [10:05] J11: I think clonezilla is the popular windows variant [10:05] jrib: i'll take a look, I might also try clonezilla [10:05] Total_Oblivion: how much ram do you have? I forgot the swap. haha my bad! [10:06] 4GB [10:06] Stanely00: 4GB [10:06] AttaBOY: or use the notifications system... [10:06] jrib: Thanks. I will try [10:07] Total_Oblivion: well, you can have 4GB swap, or 8GB, or dont need it at all (if you dont run many "heavy apps") [10:07] J11: clonezilla is a linux live cd [10:07] 4Gb swap is more than enough [10:08] you could go down to 2Gb if space is an issue [10:08] Stanley00: and what about the device? which should i allocate to that? [10:08] graingert: i'll try putting it on a flash drive, as the target laptop has no optical drive [10:08] Aquix: not really an issue. 60 GB are good enough [10:09] ok [10:09] hello, I am having a small problem with ubuntu Natty. today I upgraded my ubuntu with the latest packages. Once I did that and rebooted. gdm is not started automatically after restart. [10:09] Total_Oblivion: you can test that via liveCD [10:09] can you use clonezilla to put it on a smb share? Or do you need a server installation too? [10:09] Just seamlessly installed ubuntu on a dell d620, HP Pavilion 8000 , dell d505 and a Acer 5742. Gotta love it! [10:10] Took me about 45 min [10:10] Stanley00: test it how? O.o [10:11] Total_Oblivion: just boot up the liveCD and see if Ubuntu can recognize your device, in most case Ubuntu will recognize all your device (hopefully so ;) ) [10:11] anyone can gimmie a tip on a good project management tool for ubuntu? mostly just a calendar with tasks associated to persons etc [10:12] Stanley00: so I use as a device the one i made the partition at?

[10:14] xosuitehearts: can u list the file in terminal? [10:14] hey [10:14] Stanley00: in the device option in boot loader it shows me my hard drvies i think. So I should choose the one where i will insall ubuntu? [10:14] thrasher - what do you mean? [10:14] szal: din't get you ....

[10:15] szal: you propose a theory that you try to se if its valid or not , this is quite common way to try so solve problems [10:15] it shows that the file is there in the extractor, but when I go to extract it, it disappears or doesn't show up [10:16] already tried to set $DEBOOTSTAPOPTS on console and in /etc/pbuilderrc as well as setting --debootstrapopts to "--keyring=/usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg". neither of these did help. [10:16] szal: o that's my old collection, set of fonts.. lot of fonts [10:16] Total_Oblivion: do you mean install boot loader? if you only have win 7, and ubuntu recognize that partition, usually so, then you can install to MBR, or /dev/sda or some thing like that, [10:16] would my issue be any sort of virus related? [10:16] xosuitehearts: if you do it from the command line, do the same thing happen? [10:16] xosuitehearts, try to extraxt it from the terminal [10:16] rabbi11: copy to ~/.fonts/ (user-specific) or /usr/share/fonts/ (system-wide) [10:16] tomodachi i havent tried terminal - how would I do that? [10:16] with rar that is [10:17] szal: o thanks [10:17] xosuitehearts; tar -xf path/filename [10:17] thrasher its a rar file [10:17] xosuitehearts, woopsie [10:17] would this be virus related perhaps? [10:17] stupid question I know [10:18] rabbi11: in difference to what you might be used to from Windows, you can use subfolders to structure the files [10:18] but I scan everything [10:18] with Clamav [10:18] i doubt its a virus if its in linux [10:18] yeah, only in linux [10:18] not running through wine [10:18] wht is good network monitoring sw for ubuntu [10:19] so how would I extract in terminal? [10:19] grk: I think the default one is good too ;) [10:19] xosuitehearts: is it a rar file? [10:19] Stanley00: yeah i use w7 at the moment. and what is MBR? [10:19] tomodachi yes [10:19] xosuitehearts: unrar x filename.rar [10:19] xosuitehearts, then: unrar e path/filename [10:19] Hello .... [10:19] I have a big problem with launchpad.net . I cann't open this site with firefox or google-chromium but can open this with lynx or w3m or IE in windows ! [10:19] szal: yeah, but it's around 600 fonts, can't arrange [10:19] or x [10:19] Total_Oblivion: MBR is Master Boot Record. [10:20] rabbi11: anyhoo, just saying [10:20] xosuitehearts: sorry its e , not x like thrasher suggestet [10:20] szal: thanks [10:20] a lot [10:20] :) [10:20] rabbi11: like, if you have these fonts in one directory now, you can copy that directory instead of the individual files [10:20] Hey, if I have a Westell 327w dsl modem/router, and a fresh install of Ubuntu that causes the internet connection to freeze everytime the ubuntu laptop connects, am I just out of luck? [10:20] xosuitehearts, yepp e [10:20] Stanley00: ok. if i choose as a device for boot loader installation, for instance, the hd that contains w7 will that cause a prob? [10:21] szal: yeah, doing it... [10:21] tomodachi, do u know any good sites on regular expressions? [10:21] Total_Oblivion: where do you install ubuntu to? like /dev/sda2? and win 7? [10:21] szal: thanks, its done.... :) [10:22] alex@griever:~/Downloads$ unrar e ~/Downloads/PEC_codelist_(5-12-2009).rar [10:22] bash: syntax error near unexpected token `(' [10:22] Stanley00: win7 is on sda1 or somthing and ubuntu on sdb2 [10:22] just curious, what are some of the bootup times you guys have for Natty? [10:22] thats what I got [10:22] Stanley00: not sure on the number though [10:22] from the moment you start loading the OS [10:22] Total_Oblivion: sdb2? you have 2 hard-disks? [10:22] xosuitehearts: tab-complete the filename, so it will escape characters when necessary [10:23] nawk, it depends on the hardware [10:23] some boot in 5-6 seconds some take like 1-2 minutes [10:23] anyone know any good sites for learning regular expressions? [10:23] okay: unrar: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.2.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [10:23] Stanly00: yeah. On one i have w7 and i want to install on the other (the one I made the 60 GB patition) ubuntu [10:23] thats what I got^^ [10:24] eventhough its there [10:24] Total_Oblivion, install ubuntu to the second one, then grub will take over [10:24] anyone able to tell me what that meant? [10:25] Gentoo64: 5-6 secs to load the shipped version of natty? [10:25] ;-/ [10:25] nawk, on ssd and good hardware [10:25] Total_Oblivion: I never tried install Ubuntu on 2 harddisks, I think installing boot loader to /dev/sdb is safe, I hope. [10:26] Gentoo64 I can't imagine it being a single sata ssd [10:26] Stanley00: i'm not ging to intall them on 2 disks. I just have 1 for w7 and the other for linux. [10:26] nawk, my comp boots in 4 [10:27] Gentoo64: what's grub? [10:27] Total_Oblivion, the bootloader. youll be able to chosoe windows from there [10:27] Gentoo64 can i pm you about this (as it is more appropriate)? [10:27] Gentoo64: the menu to choose from [10:27] nawk, ok [10:27] xosuitehearts, try and do a update on your system, [10:28] xosuitehearts: how did you install rar and/or unrar? [10:28] Total_Oblivion: the menu to choose from [10:28] thrasher - I dont have rar installed... I have UNRAR but not rar [10:28] !Find libstdc++ [10:28] szal I think I installed it with dvd::rip [10:28] but it says that I have the latest version [10:28] so I might have uninstalled the older version when I uninstalled dvd::rip [10:28] xosuitehearts: that doesn't say _how_ you installed it [10:29] guys.. i have a custom ALSA plugin set up on my system for mapping 5.1 into 4 channels.. is there a way to get this selectable in the profiles within the Sound control panel? [10:29] szal well I installed the unrar via dvd:rip which required 2.1 [10:29] so I installed it from a package [10:29] or a zip... [10:29] cant remember [10:29] Total_Oblivion: hmm, if you use sdb to install Ubuntu, and win7 is on sda, it means you install win 7 on 1st hd, and ubuntu on 2nd hd. [10:29] What is the device of boot loader intallation anyway? [10:29] xosuitehearts, install it in terminal then. of via ubuntu software center, it should provide u with the necessary packages [10:30] should I uninstall then reinstall? [10:31] xosuitehearts, it think the new install might override the old one, but Iḿ not sure, so when unsure uninstall and then install [10:31] xosuitehearts: you should first of all make sure that you install everything from packages; if you don't, have fun hunting down dependencies ^^ [10:31] Stanley00: ok that's good. That's what i want. [10:31] still anyone now any good sites on reg exp? [10:32] thrasher: for python? [10:32] ok [10:32] Total_Oblivion: if ubuntu is on sdb2, then /dev/sdb is a good place, and make sure you can boot via 2nd hd on BIOS [10:32] but what doesnt make sense [10:32] is that when I checked the integrity of the rar files [10:32] they said they weren't valid rar files [10:32] ... [10:32] it told me that they were rared using winrar trial or something [10:32] either way [10:33] the file roller wouldnt unrar them [10:33] http://www.regular-expressions.info/ [10:33] netyire, for general knowledgement, trying to understand it at all! [10:33] Stanley00: it had an option sdb2 as well if i recall correctly. And how can i make it so that pc boots from 2nd hd as well? [10:34] thrasher szal alex@griever:~/Downloads$ unrar e PEC_codelist_5-12-2009.rar [10:34] unrar: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.2.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [10:34] thats what I got [10:34] again [10:34] xosuitehearts, cant u just download the damn file from another place, AND install rar/unrar! [10:34] Total_Oblivion: I dont know, It depends on your BIOS, try looking in boot order, or/and hard drive devices. [10:34] thrasher yes. I re-installed [10:35] thats why I was telling you === Demicolon9 is now known as Broseph [10:35] I tried it again === Broseph is now known as Broseph9 [10:35] Using 11.04, want to upgrade to 11.10 -- how do I do this? [10:35] thrasher and its not just one file man [10:35] kholerabbi: -> #ubuntu+1 please [10:35] thanks szal [10:36] thrasher its been happening to really small rar files. but all of them said when I checked the integrity that they weren't valid === nick is now known as Guest76582 [10:36] thrasher thats why Im asking you for help [10:36] then they most probably aren't valid [10:36] thrasher: used http://www.regular-expressions.info/python.html a lot when I had to work with it, I found it very useful. Have a go will you? [10:36] Stanley00: so i alocate: 4 GB swap, 20 GB / and 36 GB /home? [10:37] xosuitehearts, then I just dont know. Ask me in 5 months when my Linux Adm education is done, i should really be studying right know actually [10:37] so blame the person who created them or your download === p1l0t is now known as Guest69068 [10:37] Total_Oblivion: I hope so ;) [10:38] netyire, cheers mate [10:38] 20 GB for / is, in most cases, oversized ^^ [10:38] szal, xosuitehearts: What szal said! [10:38] szal thrasher I think you have the wrong idea about my questions - I didnt intend to annoy or aggravate you with my questions, my intentions where that i am a linux noob that doesnt know very much yet, im learning a lot and have learned a lot but I only switched to linux last month [10:38] szal thrasher so I apologize if my questions sounded like I was trying to test your patience [10:39] but that wasn't my intentions [10:39] * szal hasn't had a problem w/ RAR files in quite some time [10:39] and yes, I regularly have some [10:39] xosuitehearts, No Im not aggrivated, I am seriously bummed out for not being able to help u more and I am actually reading/learning to be a Linux Adm here in Stockholm [10:39] Should I just go and choose insall alongside windows7? I just haven't made any partition myself on C: [10:39] Stanley00: Should I just go and choose insall alongside windows7? I just haven't made any partition myself on C: :P [10:40] Hi I need the names of keyboard keys in the value of a variable named expo_keys in Compiz [10:40] xosuitehearts, no probs mate [10:40] Total_Oblivion: I think manual way is better... [10:40] for extracting rar try p7zip [10:40] thrasher szal alright, well thank you for helping me as is :-) I do appreciate it [10:40] pksadiq I have that installed [10:40] * szal pats his Krusader w/ seamless archive handling [10:41] Stanley00: more certain ok. i got it. So as szal said, should i go and minimise /h instead of home? [10:42] Total_Oblivion: I never tried that... [10:42] Total_Oblivion: /home is where your personal files go, so you might want it as large as possible.. / will be content w/ 10-15 GB, unless you run a mail server, web server or anything that uses large amounts of /tmp or /var space [10:45] Hi is anybody familiar with keyboard shortcuts in Ubuntu? [10:45] ubuntu_ some [10:45] unbuntu_: Do you mean .desktop file? [10:45] I need the name of the tab key in compiz [10:46] szal: i just want to experiment on ubuntu. Nothing more nothing less. I just want to give a try to somehing else apart from windows. [10:46] ubuntu_ it's called tab in compiz [10:47] Aquix then I don't know why it does not work [10:47] ubuntu_ what doesn't work? [10:47] I want to open Expo with tab+windows_key [10:47] why would my video and speech not match in VLC? [10:47] It works fine in that other crappy operating system [10:48] sivik: most probably because the version of VLC you're using is buggy in this respect [10:48] Stanley00: Why shouldn't I care for /boot? [10:48] i'm using the latest version of vlc from the ubuntu 11.04 repos [10:48] sivik, it doesn't work on my 11.04 install either...however regular movie player works justfine [10:48] ubuntu_ in expo - bindings - expo key and grab ketbinding press super+tab [10:49] zHammeRz, what player are you using? [10:49] regular movie player (Totem) [10:49] Stanley00, Total_Oblivion: unless you use LVM and/or encryption there's really no need for a separate /boot [10:49] that never has any of the darn codecs I need [10:49] thats why I like VLC but it looks like I will have to figure that out [10:49] szal: thanks ;) [10:50] sivik, I can play everything except a blu ray. Install the extras is all I did during installation [10:50] ok. [10:50] szal: so i don't care about it and stick with /,/home and swap. nice. [10:50] Total_Oblivion: right [10:50] @Aquix It works [10:51] goodie :) [10:51] @Aquix I used a + in between [10:51] zHammeRz, I don't see any extras in the repos [10:51] @Aquix expo_key=+Tab [10:52] @All Thanks [10:52] if you can play a mp3 file, then they are installed [10:52] ubuntu_ strange, I just got tab but if it works... === Broseph9 is now known as DemiBROlon9 [10:53] Aquix: weird chatzilla just corrected me or was it you? [10:53] ubuntu_ huh? [10:54] zHammeRz, thx, its working now. [10:54] Aquix: it set "@Aquix" to "Aquix:" [10:54] sivik, with movie player? [10:54] totem, i got it working, thx [10:55] ubuntu_ yeah, it's only the nick in irc, @ is for twitter [10:55] zHammeRz, is there a program that controls different applictions sound volumes? [10:55] Aquix: but did you do it? [10:55] sivik, once it's opened up you can goto sound preferences and it will be there [10:55] zHammeRz, what do you mean? I am talking about turning just that up and not other things. [10:56] ubuntu_ nope :) it's on your pc so your program did it. [10:56] yes, goto sound prefs after you have your apps opened, then click the application tab [10:56] even in firefox? [10:56] Aquix: Maybe Chatzilla found his heart finally [10:57] .org [10:57] szal: can i pm you? [10:57] ubuntu_ you should get a better irc client. xchat is good, and in the repositories [10:57] irc://toile-ibre.org [10:57] Total_Oblivion: why? [10:58] Aquix: Bye I just got too chatty thanks ;) === DemiBROlon9 is now known as letsseehowlongic [10:58] szal: never mind actually will ask here. is there any way that all this partition etc can be done automatically by ubuntu? === letsseehowlongic is now known as drk^_^gamdvWTFo [10:59] * szal hasn't used the automatic partitioning yet, but rumour has it that it works [10:59] zHammeRz, how do I turn down volume in firefox? === drk^_^gamdvWTFo is now known as BROBroseph9BRO [10:59] szal: which option is that? [10:59] !nick > BROBroseph9BRO [10:59] sivik, do what I told you [10:59] BROBroseph9BRO, please see my private message [11:00] Total_Oblivion: prolly one of the Guided options (use existing free space (if you have any) or something) [11:00] sivik, firefox will be listed alsa plugin container under the section I told you [11:00] in totem? [11:00] i'm not seeing it in firefox [11:00] sivik, omg, click on the sound prefs..you know the volume button and goto sound prefs [11:00] in totem or firefox? [11:00] at the top [11:01] neither [11:01] then in what? [11:01] are you talking about gnome-volume-manager? [11:01] sound volume in FF? [11:01] I want to turn down the volume for firefox [11:01] sivik, dude i'm losing my patience. Click on the speaker at the top right and goto sound preferences. If you can't do that, then I don't know, FGI. [11:02] That would involve being in gnome [11:02] sivik, flash player? [11:02] Gentoo64, I think so. [11:02] alsamixer [11:02] it usualy has a volume button in the video [11:02] for that very reason [11:03] Gentoo64, its a game on FB and there isn't a volume button [11:03] sivik: FF has no volume controller [11:03] sivik, youll have to use volume control then [11:03] no other way [11:03] ff isnt a media player [11:03] sivik: get something playing in Firefox, go to the mixer or pavucontrol, specifically "Playback Streams" & change the volume to your liking [11:03] can i define four workspaces for one screen and a single for the other [11:04] why don't i see any picture from step 6. when i try to install ubuntu? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall#To_Install_Ubuntu [11:04] Stanley00, szal: thanks for the help :) [11:04] Total_Oblivion, does it just hang? [11:04] Gentoo64, what do you mean [11:05] on screen 6 [11:05] step 6* [11:05] it doesn't show any of these figures. it directs me to manual configuration of partitions. like to make /home etc [11:06] trying to install 11.04 though [11:06] Total_Oblivion: then you either chose that or the automatic configuration failed [11:07] * szal always pre-partitions his disks by hand [11:08] szal: i just clicked something else [11:08] * Aquix always forget to make a seperate home folder : / [11:08] Aquix: make a post-it note or something :P [11:09] lol [11:10] I'm sewing a home, sweet home picture as we speak :) [11:11] hello, am i missing something when sudo passwd does not change my password? [11:11] it says unix password changed succesfully, but i can still login with the old password [11:11] varikonniemi: No, that changes the root password. [11:11] should i go for 10.04? [11:11] varikonniemi: You want to do just 'passwd' [11:11] oh.. :) [11:13] You must choose a longer password [11:13] passwd: Authentication token manipulation error [11:13] passwd: password unchanged [11:13] how can i override that idiotic enforcement [11:13] i can do it with sudo passwd [11:13] but how to change my password via override? [11:14] varikonniemi: probably in your pam configuration [11:14] varikonniemi "sudo passwd yourusername" [11:14] thanks [11:14] Total_Oblivion no. go for mint 11 if you want gnome 2 instead of unity.. [11:16] Hello I am looking for a good guide for using openLdap on client side. Every official guide I found just explains something about what configuration files to edit to enable the client connections, and just conclude by "now you should be able to connect to your ldap server" [11:16] Hi. I'm an IT-admin at a school with 16 Ubuntu machines. How should I go about if I want them to turn of at 5 in the evening? I've tried cronjob shutdown 17:00 but I can get it to work. Help? [11:16] lambda_: ok, what mode do you want to know [11:16] And my question is: ok, but what is the commandline to test the connection to the ldap server? [11:16] AttaBoy: what is the cronjob you are using ? [11:17] I tried ldapsearch but it doesn't seam to exist on client side :( [11:17] ikonia: sudo cronjob -e [11:17] AttaBoy: that's not a cronjob command, what is the cronjob you actually used [11:17] lambda_: did you install it ? [11:18] ikonia: 00 17 * * * shutdown 5 [11:18] AttaBoy: that's never going to work, you need to use absoluate paths and the correct synatax for shuwdown [11:19] It seems tuxboot installs clonezilla on my usb stick but it seems it's for a x8664 architecture and not i686 [11:19] ikonia: thanks. I will try to find the absolute path, and use + before 5 [11:19] !info tuxboot [11:19] Package tuxboot does not exist in natty [11:19] AttaBoy: that's not the synatax [11:19] hi, how can I configure this network interfaces ( eth0 and ppp0 ) to work with failover [11:19] ikonia: I installed slapd ldap-utils in one machine, and configured it as they said. Then on another machine, I installed libnss-ldap and configured it as they said. Now how do I test it works? [11:20] AttaBoy: shutdown -h +5m [11:20] I would like to do something like ldapsearch on the client side that's all [11:20] tuxboot works on windows to install clonezilla livecd on usb stick [11:20] AttaBoy: read the man page/syntax before doing stuff, test it before putting it in cron [11:20] hi [11:20] lambda_: just install ldap-utils on the client to test [11:21] !info tuxboot [11:21] Package tuxboot does not exist in natty [11:21] J11: how is this an ubuntu issue ? [11:21] ok [11:21] hi gays [11:21] it automatically downloads clonezilla-live-1.2.9-19-amd64.iso while I want it to install a x86 version [11:21] J11: this isn't an ubuntu problem [11:21] ikonia: I use it to get rid of windows before installing ubuntu [11:21] haithem: we don't care about sexual orientation here [11:21] haithem: please don't be silly in here [11:22] haha [11:22] ikonia: Thanks. I'm sorry for not reading the instructions well enough. [11:22] joking [11:22] ikonia: people here recomeded it an hour ago [11:22] ok thanks it says "can't connect ldap server (-1)". I am gonna work on this [11:22] If there an easy way to find out which process killed another in ubuntu? [11:22] J11: configuing it isn't really our issue [11:23] J11: just boot from an ubuntu CD and use gparted to control your partitions, or let the ubuntu installer remove the partitions [11:23] well i want to make an image first [11:23] J11: then use the windows image tools, [11:23] need help [11:23] haithem: then ask a question [11:24] so i use the partimage based clonezilla for it [11:24] how i can hack wifi [11:24] haithem: not something we teach in here, this is for ubuntu support discussion only [11:24] ok [11:25] whats new in ubuntu [11:25] ubuntu.com check it out [11:25] Also, what can kill a process every ten minutes? Not after execution but on a clock? Like this: if(!minute%10)killprocess(); [11:25] The process uses networking and time related functions (sleep). [11:26] trolltime again, huh? ;) [11:27] i have ubuntu 10,10 what is better 10,10 or ubuntu 11 [11:27] haithem: personal taste, see which one you like best [11:28] ok thanks [11:28] I would imagine it usually depends on whether you want newer features the higher versions in 11 might provide. [11:29] how can I add a DVD to software sources? [11:29] as it says it's scanning /media/cdrom [11:29] but the dvd is mouted as /media/ubuntu dvd 64bit [11:29] graingert: same thing [11:30] tomodachi: ? [11:31] hello! I need help. How i can learn which port the application works? [11:32] iamsashka: netstat -anb? [11:32] iamsashka: netstat -taupen [11:32] -anp sorry [11:32] will give you a list of all running services [11:32] and ports [11:32] tomodachi: what do you mean same thing? [11:32] graingert: they may be some differences but , thats the command I use to list ports and applications [11:33] tomodachi: what? [11:33] tomodachi's command looks better because it strips out stuff you probably don't want. [11:33] tomodachi: you said to me "same thing" [11:33] tomodachi: wrt ubuntu repo dvd [11:33] graingert: netstat -taupen, it lists port, ip state [11:33] tomodachi: yeah I know that - why are you telling me? [11:34] graingert: one moment, our support staff is scrolling up [11:34] how can I configura eth0 and ppp0 interfaces to work with failover === SuperHark is now known as MichealH [11:34] graingert: oh, the repository settings in synaptic list 'installable from cd/dvd rom' [11:34] graingert: sorty meant iamsashka of course [11:34] netyire: yep but I can't seem to add it [11:35] where can i find detailed information about my hardware? from the command line and also gui [11:35] i need to send the information to a tech support company [11:35] soprano: lspci , lsusb and dmesg are helpfull commands [11:35] soprano: lshw [11:35] graingert: oh, why not? is there an error message or somesuch? [11:35] soprano: sudo lshw [11:35] netyire: yep it scans /media/cdrom and finds nothing [11:35] awesome! thanks! YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH [11:36] netyire: reason being the dvd is mounted elsewhere [11:36] graingert: what's the output for sudo mount [11:36] SixThree0h: example: ps -a | pgrep firefox I get the number 1896, what's next? how to find out port? [11:36] graingert: you're correct, it probably is mounted somewhere else -- do you have anything mounted on /media/cdrom btw? [11:36] netyire: it's mounted on /media/ubuntu DVD 64 [11:36] or similar [11:37] graingert: very good, is this a one-off operation or will you be needing continued updates from the dvd? [11:37] netyire: one-off [11:37] netyire: but continuous is also something I'd like to think about [11:38] SixThreeOh: example: ps -a | pgrep firefox I get the number 1896, what's next? how to find out port?

But not from crontab/cronjob. What can I do? [11:38] AttaBoy: ah you need to be the right user [11:38] graingert: 1. type sudo mount to determine the device identifier for your dvd drive (ie: /dev/dvd) 2. enter sudo umount /dev/dvd 3. sudo mount /dev/dvd /media/cdrom 4. check the cd/dvd repo in synaptic, reload the repositories and perform the upgrade [11:38] AttaBoy: you probably need a deamon to start on login [11:38] AttaBoy: that detects when you are shutting down [11:38] and launches the notify [11:39] gshutdown produces a notification bubble warning you of impending shutdown, and containing a button “Show Main Window”.

[12:14] yeah i figured as much [12:14] or the window-decorator is crashing or not set right [12:14] scarleo i went to group manager and then i selected "audio" [12:14] there was user and the box before [12:14] was not checked [12:14] perhaps it's just that i need to install gnome or something?

I am unsure how to properly format the line in iptables. Anyone available to help? [12:17] well i donÃ't know what more details to give.. not a very expeienced user yet so to speak. when i run fusion-icon it all dies :P [12:17] warfaren: why are you running fusion-icon? [12:17] dragondon_: that forwarding is not done in iptables, it is done when you do the ssh connect [12:18] warfaren: theres some enhanced alternatives to fusion-icon i recall seeing in the list of indicator-applets at askubuntu.com [12:18] th0r: ah, I did see that, too bad the directions don't specifiy that :/ [12:18] i was recommended to do so here because i wanted to disable some effects quickly/easily to get good performance in games [12:18] I am moving to Unity 2D for now. Nearly bug free, and better design made in QML :D [12:18] hey can someone help me fix my nonworking unity panel without rebooting? [12:18] warfaren: it just allows you to pick metacity, or compuz as the window manager easially. You could do that with a simple script. [12:18] dragondon_: there are a number of good tutorials on the web about X-forwarding via ssh [12:18] How do I get windows that have gone outside my desktop to come back? [12:19] hi. is this right? ubuntu's protfpd doesn't bring tls support? [12:19] proftpd [12:19] warfaren: or make a script that launches 'metacity --replace then the game, then runs compiz --replace' after the game is done. [12:19] ah. cool. i'll look into that [12:19] unity sucks -.- [12:19] th0r: I am using the ubuntu help one from the main site. === rexlight is now known as |Spawn| [12:20] well it's nice as long as it works, but now I can't do anything and have to reboot -.- [12:20] just like windows 3.11 [12:20] You could just log out/back in.. and not reboot.. [12:20] still annoying [12:20] or if theres a terminal open 'unity --replace' should restart it [12:20] You want answers or are you going to just complain? [12:21] is there a command to log a user out of the gui? cuz if i would type logout at a terminal it just closes the terminal === bgpt_ is now known as bgpt [12:21] warfaren: you could restart the gdm service. that would boot any user back to the login screen. [12:22] warfaren: but thats a little harsh. [12:22] thanks, that worked [12:22] alright [12:22] and yes. logout logs you out of a terminal/shell/console. :) [12:23] there might be some command to start the gnome logout procedure. but ive never noticed one. [12:23] ok. what's the command to restart the gdm service then? [12:23] sudo service servicename restart [12:23] cool. thanks [12:24] usefull to know if X really hangs up. :) you can ssh in and make it restart. hopefully [12:24] warfaren: http://askubuntu.com/questions/15795/how-can-you-log-out-via-the-terminal [12:25] has anyone used the logitech G510 keyboard with the "G keys" ?

[12:26] been some time since i did more then just install the tools to get me a clock on the lcd. [12:26] dr_willis, what was it called ? [12:26] its in the repos under g15deamon or somthing like that. theres several support packages for those keyboards [12:27] dr_willis, merci boucoup.

[12:29] how do I get the following command to execute in a bash script: "gconftool-2 -g /apps/gnome-power-manager/backlight/brightness_dim_battery" I want to save it in a variable. The command runs in terminal but not in a bash script file [12:29] Digital_Lemon: don't know what button you are using, but I think you can turn off the touchpad with synclient TouchpadOff=1 and turn it on with synclient TouchpadOff=0 [12:30] Digital_Lemon: I just put those two into panel launch icons on the gnome panel (but now I use xfce) [12:30] You could check the forums and askubuntu.com for that exact make of laptop and see if anyone else has a similer issue Digital_Lemon . It maybe worth watching the 'dmesg' command output as you turn it off and back on. and monitor if any modules get unloaded. And theres the syclient mentioned above. :) [12:30] sebster: did you chmod +x for your script? [12:31] yes [12:31] sebster: did you start it with #!/bin/bash ? [12:31] thanks all [12:31] will try :) [12:31] yes [12:31] I dont get the statement 'save it in a variable' sebster .. [12:32] it doesn't seem to recognise the command inside the script [12:32] try 'source thescriptname' see if it works then.. [12:32] I want currentvalue=gconftool-2 -g /apps/gnome-power-manager/backlight/brightness_dim_battery [12:32] so I can then change the value and set it again [12:32] once the script exists the variable goes away... [12:32] sebster: ah, try yourvar=`command` or yourvar=$((command)) [12:32] exits.. [12:32] synclient TouchpadOff=1 doesnt do anything :/ [12:33] kk [12:34] you may want to pastebin the script. and explain what its supposed to do. === areplogl is now known as skel [12:38] i have an Ubuntu Server with OpenSSH(10.04), in my config file i have "Match group sftponly" too chroot, can i have another command there to give specific groups different idle times and connection limits> === Dink- is now known as Dink [12:39] or is there another way to give group specific idle times/connection limits [12:39] I have U1 installed via synaptic, account created, access via the web but no joy when i want to rt.-click and sync a folder and the folder is in my home directory === lucaspt is now known as tonussi [12:39] Anu ideas [12:40] That should read 'Any ideas' === KinG is now known as Guest76082 === Guest76082 is now known as KInGFridolin [12:41] I've put my code into pastebin.

WRONG [12:41] http://pastebin.com/tawMSxec [12:41] ty [12:43] sebster: you have an extra set of parenthesis around your currentValue expression. [12:43] I thought I was supposed to do that [12:43] single parenthesis then? [12:43] I tried it with none to begin with... [12:43] sebster: $( ) means to execute whatever is in there $(( )) means to evaluate the mathematical expression within. [12:43] ty I'll try that [12:44] boom [12:44] nice [12:44] thanks a lot!

[13:23] currently i start it with ./start0 from terminal [13:23] natschil: please explain "I want to display as an image in C" [13:23] trying to launch start0 from gui does not work [13:23] What is the bootarg on the Ubuntu liveCD for a no gui boot? [13:23] hello [13:23] halp!! [13:24] varikonniemi: stop pressing enter to break up your responses please [13:24] i got a problem when i'm changing my shell [13:24] jrib: I need some (C) library that I can easily say make this pixel some colour on a x times y sized image and it will paint it to the screen. [13:24] jrib: sorry, I should have said using C. not in C: [13:24] sorry [13:24] natschil: this is a c question... [13:24] hello all, i have a few games that require s3tc support, i'm on an intel graphics chip, how do i enable support for s3tc? [13:24] i do the classical chsh, put my password, and put /bin/zsh [13:25] but printenv SHELL stay /bin/shell [13:25] can anyone help ? [13:25] guys is there any cure to flash full screen freeze with intel cards ? (or is it a global linux problem on x86_64)? [13:25] jianfei: this has nothing to do with the c language. it has to do with ubuntu, as I need an ubuntu package that does this. [13:25] sobersabre: are you running the 64-bit flash? [13:25] nicocat: log out and back in? [13:25] varikonniemi: start over from the beginning. State your problem on ONE line [13:26] gatral: unreal? [13:26] use opengl mode if ypu can [13:27] or use a xen kernel and paravirtualize your linux with windows, so you can play [13:27] I have a file, start0, which launches phoenix.py with some arguments. It works when doing ./start0 in terminal, but not when doing "launch in terminal" from nautilus, the terminal window only briefly flashes open. [13:27] Peter_Bilt: Trine, Shadowgrounds, 0AD.. no unreal, non based on the unreal engine AFAIK [13:27] Peter_Bilt: not possible, Atom core. that would be too slow [13:27] varikonniemi: provide full path to start0 [13:27] jrib: it works thx [13:27] varikonniemi: that means start with '/' [13:27] lol [13:27] ~/phoenix/start0 [13:28] then get a xbox360 [13:28] jrib: why do I have to log out and log in again [13:28] jrib: that sound very windows [13:28] varikonniemi: no, start with /. ~ won't get translated by the launcher [13:28] incubatio: because you changed your login shell [13:28] jrib: OF course, thank you ! [13:29] incubatio: you either changed your login shell, OR you changed something in an RC flie, either way, you *have* too relog, but it's a lot easier [13:29] you don't have to* [13:30] Peter_Bilt: that doesn't fix my problem.. [13:30] gartral, what are you trying to do? [13:31] Gentoo64: i'm trying too figure out how too enable s3tc support for an intel graphics card [13:32] ah ok. wish i never asked [13:32] Gentoo64: heh [13:32] ok so i changed it from ./ to/home/q/phoenix/phoenix.py and the behaviour did not change. still works via terminal, via gui only terminal flashes briefly. [13:32] varikonniemi: you mean a terminal opens and closes? [13:32] varikonniemi: is q your username? [13:32] yes it is [13:32] Hi. I want to solve the issue about ASPM in kernel 2.6.38 (as in http://cuduwudu.com/2011/06/phoronix-discovered-the-battery-problem-in-kernel-2-6-38/). I need to add "pcie_aspm=force" in "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"". My problem is that I already changed that line to "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash something acpi_osi=Linux"" in order to be able to control light in the screen of my laptop. HOW TO CHANGE THE LINE AND HAVE ASPM CHAN [13:32] GE AND ACPI AT THE SAME TIME? Thanks [13:32] yes [13:33] javier__, just add it as well [13:33] quit [13:33] javier__: can't you just just add it to the line? [13:33] !who | varikonniemi [13:33] varikonniemi: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [13:33] javier__, add it after a space === kamstrup|afk is now known as kamstrup [13:33] varikonniemi: I have no idea what question you are answering with "yes" [13:33] GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash something acpi_osi=Linux pcie_aspm=force" [13:33] that would be? [13:33] yes [13:33] jrib, yours [13:34] varikonniemi: what does this phoenix.py do? [13:34] is what I thought, but I knew was something could cause a crash, so I prefered to ask it before, as I'm not an expert :) [13:34] jrib, mines bitcoin [13:34] thanks then to all of you :) [13:34] varikonniemi: is it a graphical application? [13:34] jrib, no, it first connects to some rpc? server, then gets work and starts calculating. not graphical [13:35] jrib: sorry, my irc channel crashed.... i think it was you I was talking to earlier... my question is not a C question because it has nothing to do with the c language, only with the libraries available on ubuntu for the C language [13:35] varikonniemi: then you want to run gnome-terminal and tell it to execute phoenix.py [13:35] natschil: do you know what library you want to install? [13:36] jrib: no. that is why I'm asking [13:36] 28 [13:36] natschil: go to ##c and figure out what library you should use (I believe you wanted to use C). Then once you know what library you want, come back here and we can help you install it [13:36] jrib, as i said, it works fine from the terminal by typing ./start0, the problem is only via nautilus when doing "run in terminal" to start0 [13:37] varikonniemi: you keep changing between "start0" and "phoenix.py". This is confusing [13:37] jrib: definately not. ##c is not about the libraries but only about the language. trust me, I've asked there. [13:37] jrib, as i said, start0 is a file that contains the parameters which i launch phoenix.py with [13:38] varikonniemi: then start gnome-terminal and tell it to execute start0 [13:38] natschil: well feel free to ask here but it's not appropriate for this channel either [13:38] jrib, thank you for your help. This is exactly not what i have been asking, but i will continue to do it that way since no-one seems to know any solution [13:38] hi [13:39] varikonniemi: I am telling you to do this in the launcher. [13:39] jrib: yeah I know. but I don't know where else to ask. thanks for trying to help though. === xtr3m3_ is now known as xtr3m3 [13:39] in order to get an email address/alias in the ubuntu.com domain, one has to be a member of the ubuntu team and not just a sub-team, correct? [13:39] varikonniemi: man gnome-termnial suggests using -x [13:39] natschil: do you have to use C [13:39] one couldn't be a member of, say, ubuntu-hardened and not ubuntu to gain access to membership privileges, right? [13:40] varikonniemi: or maybe -e. Play with it. === vinces_ is now known as vinces [13:40] i still wonder why xen modules don't get into the mainline [13:40] varikonniemi maybe you could make a launcher that starts a terminal while executing your script with the -e switch [13:41] jrib: yep, sorry. [13:41] jrib: or it's the only language I know well. [13:42] dr_willis a real floppy [13:43] varikonniemi: screen is a terminal program that can be used to auto-launch programs or scripts, see screen -d -m => http://linuxmanpages.com/man1/screen.1.php [13:43] jrib, bo__bo, thanks but that goes over my head. I know i had it working before my reinstall some months ago, now it just pops up the terminal and immediately closes. If it would not try to start it i would see no terminal (as is the case when i tested with invalid paths). [13:44] varikonniemi, just set a launcher saying: gnome-terminal -e progname [13:44] varikonniemi: in your launcher, write gnome-terminal -e YOUR_COMMAND_HERE [13:44] itll auto open the prog in a term [13:44] Gentoo64, i tried it already [13:44] varikonniemi, what was the ocmmand you used? [13:44] in the launcher [13:45] Gentoo64, gnome-terminal -e /home/q/phoenix/phoenix.py [13:45] My install of 11.04 of Ubuntu wont recognize my wired internet connection. [13:45] also tried -x [13:45] i smell some problems [13:46] varikonniemi: weren't you mentioning something about "start0"? [13:46] jrib, that was the contents of start0 that i tried to run/run in terminal [13:47] jrib, i dont know if i have been perfectly clear here.. start0 is like a link in windows [13:47] varikonniemi: well I thought I understood until I read the end of what you just said... [13:47] Hello everyone [13:48] how can I check what video driver my system is using? [13:48] for some reason I magically lost 3D hardware acceleration [13:48] varikonniemi: try: gnome-terminal -e '/home/q/phoenix/phoenix.py; bash -c read' [13:48] do you need to restart the OS when you make changes to files in /etc/pam.d/? [13:49] jrib, are you sure the ; needs to go there. it says no such file found [13:50] varikonniemi: did you use the quotes as I placed them?

But I don't know which line tells me what driver is in use [13:58] rufsketch1, at the bottom it should say "kernl drive in use" [13:58] rufsketch1: kernel driver in use: or kernel module [13:58] kernel driver* === ppessi is now known as pessi [13:59] hey, anyone know why I don't have any host-side network interfaces for virtualbox? I've got a guest, with an ip that can ping its gateway on the host, but the host cannot see the guest IP at all. [13:59] when i am in my home directory, am i supposed to be able to launch a file by just typing /phoenix/start0 or must i always first do cd phoenix and then ./start0 [13:59] i find it weird since it says error no such file or directory and yet there clearly is [13:59] varikonniemi: you could just type "phoenix/start0" [14:00] Gentoo64 bastidrazor : it says "nvidia". But i still don't have 3D hardware acceleration support. nexuiz and vdrift get a few seconds per frame. vdrift thinks I'm using mesa and doesn't recognize the nvidia driver. I'm not sure about nexuiz, though it was working fine at some point. [14:00] use the ./ [14:00] lol im stuck with turned off touchpad [14:00] jrib, it says the same [14:00] is there a way to access tray icons with keyboard? [14:00] varikonniemi: is the file marked executable? [14:01] jwrigley, yes [14:01] jwrigley, else i dont think ./start0 would work [14:01] varikonniemi: what exactly did you type? [14:01] varikonniemi: is start0 a script? perhaps it is referencing other files in the /phoenix dir [14:02] jrib, q@varikonniemi-desktop:~/phoenix$ phoenix/start0 [14:02] bash: phoenix/start0: No such file or directory [14:02] What mechanism / command does gnome use to regulate monitor brightness? xdotools and xbacklight aren't working for me but the gnome settings do. [14:02] varikonniemi: because you're already in the phoenix directory...

[14:35] can we use a livecd to recover? [14:35] does Maverick come automatically with PulseAudio? [14:35] kishon: no, re-installing would be a more realistic approach [14:35] and if I remove PulseAudio with purge, do I fall back safely on ALSA? [14:36] It's usually a good idea to make a new directory whenever you unpack a tarball. [14:36] dont have backup [14:36] kishon: if you can, backup your home directory for any personal data or settings, then re-install [14:36] kishon: before re-installing, I'd make sure you back up your home directory (or at least important files) first [14:36] ikonia: still helping the community I see :) [14:37] been a long time since I was here [14:37] Odaym: certainly try [14:37] kishon: I would use a liveCD to backup the home dir if you cannot get in any other way [14:37] nonproffessional: In your FireFox, if you put about:config and search for webgl, what values do webgl.osmesalib and webgl.prefer-native-gl have?

[14:49] Gentoo64: Actually i have downloaded that button package and its on my hard disk...but i dont know how to install that package using that download...the package name is 'Torbutton-current.xpi' [14:49] poison, it should auto install [14:50] well not all people actually do it by themselves [14:50] poison, i havent used ff for a while. i think it might have an install addon from file somewhere n the options [14:50] there are mirc scripts to spam that [14:50] :D [14:50] poison, but it def auto-installs from that site [14:50] try it again [14:51] sure...thank for trying to help me [14:52] poison, https://www.torproject.org/torbutton/ click "install from the site" or is it still trying to download it?

[14:56] ok [14:56] I moved ubuntu to another hard drive (cloned it), reinstalled grub and edited /etc/fstab. it boots to a black screen. what can the problem be? === KinG is now known as Guest58455 === Guest58455 is now known as KingT [15:01] I did fall back on ALSA, ikonia. But now I do not see a volume control icon on my panel, and the applet for it is not there to begin with (it wasn't there before either) [15:02] Odaym: well, it's good news that it did fall back. [15:02] yea [15:02] Odaym: try alsamixer in a terminal, just to set the volumes and test [15:02] I can still control the volume with Fn + key [15:02] well, that's a start [15:03] I'm there at the mixer, it works fine [15:03] just no icon on the panel, that's all [15:04] Odaym: I dont' know if one even exists in 11.04 to be honest [15:04] I'm in 10.10 [15:04] Maverick [15:04] Odaym: , sorry, I thought you where in 11.04 [15:04] Odaym: there should be one in 10.10 I believe [15:05] I'm having trouble setting up 2 graphics cards to run 3 monitors; I've got a GT 430 in slot 3:0:0 and a 8400GS in 5:0:0. Even when I set up xorg.conf to only use 3:0:0 it won't work due to an I/O error on 5:0:0 [15:05] hi, where can i seek help regarding the Logging server? [15:05] I suspect it may be trying to initialize the 8400gs as if it were a gt430 and causing it to get confused and give an error [15:08] Gentoo64: so what do I do in ubuntu-tweak to get better looking buttons? [15:08] Rainy-day, what buttons? [15:08] some are icon themes [15:08] Gentoo64: e.g. buttons in chrome and thunderbird [15:08] Rainy-day, chrome uses gtk or built in [15:08] gtk will use gtk icon theme [15:08] e.g faenza whatever [15:09] not sure if ubuntu tweak handles that [15:09] is there a ppa that maintains the latest nvidia drivers somewhere? [15:09] ok where then do I change gtk icon themes? [15:09] Rainy-day, try in desktop settings [15:09] so any news on 11.10? [15:10] !11.10 | Odaym [15:10] Odaym: Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) will be the fifteenth release of Ubuntu. Codename announcement here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/?p=646 Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [15:10] Gentoo64: where are the desktop settings? [15:11] Rainy-day, should be under appearance os similar in the system settings [15:12] Gentoo64: in system / preferences / appearance ? I tried that, they don't change buttons in chrome and thunderbird [15:12] they use gtk icons so it should.. [15:12] there should be icon settings somewhere there [15:12] So, I recently updated my system on Friday, and compiz no longer is running automatically on classic login [15:13] hello [15:13] My laptop is in hibernate, but it wont wake up, only the mouse is visible. [15:13] I have to execute the compiz --replace command to get the desired effects. Any ideas on how I can get it to be a default again? [15:13] How can I disable opengl acceleration? [15:13] I want to test how my app behaves with software rendering only [15:13] gconf shows the default and current window manager as /usr/bin/compiz, and this isn't helping [15:13] qubodup, i hink theres a kernel line like noaccel [15:14] not sure what drivers that applies to though [15:14] tonisius: gnome --replace [15:14] or something, not sure [15:14] alex--: you mean compiz --replace, which I said I do already [15:14] I just can't get it to auto do it during login [15:14] instead I have to run it as either a startup application, or from the terminal [15:14] which should not be the case/ [15:15] tonisius add it to startup applications [15:15] Gentoo64: nope, changing any icons / customize / high contrast theme does not change the look of other gtk apps like gvim, chrome, thunderbird [15:15] alex--: that's not fixing the problem./ [15:15] My laptop is in hibernate, but it wont wake up, only the mouse is visible. Any way to wake it up? [15:15] tonisius why not? [15:15] Rainy-day, try rebooting maybe or logout / in [15:16] Gentoo64: just the borders and toolbars are changed but inside windows nothing changes [15:16] alex--: I wait longer for login, since it loads the windows manager, then reloads/replaces it with compiz, why is it not running it on login to begin with, so it doesn't have to do a replace [15:16] tonisius i dont know [15:16] Gentoo64: no, I did this before a few reboots it was the same thing [15:16] Rainy-day: modify your appearance, and make sure you select something that modifies the buttons too [15:16] there are window decorations, and window themes [15:16] Rainy-day, not sure then [15:17] Tonisius: yes, I am selecting something that modifies buttons but buttons are not mofified in those apps [15:17] if you're using "Ubuntu" and not "Kubuntu" or other flavors, the gtk themes should be good [15:17] How difficult is it to create a self-extracting 7zip from the Ubuntu Live CD (10.04.3 LTS) [15:17] what version of Ubuntu are you using? [15:17] I'm using ubuntu classic [15:17] many flavors [15:17] Rainy-day: so, it's the Gnome environment, and not KDE [15:17] Using ubuntu classic 11.04 [15:17] afik changing the icon theme should change the button icons [15:18] i use faenza and get faenza icons on all my gtk app buttons [15:18] Rainy-day: have you tried the "High Contrast Large Print Inverse" theme? [15:18] I think it changed after I turned off Unity.. I'm pretty sure in unity, buttons looked good [15:18] and does it change everything inside the windows? [15:18] Tonisius: Yes, I did try that one [15:18] I'm trying to execute this /sbin/mount.fuse "rarfs#"/dir/file.rar /mount/point in cron, but it says /bin/sh: rarfs: command not found. When executed normal it works fine. Installed as found here http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-573307.html [15:18] Rainy-day: and no change to the inside of windows like chrome/firefox? [15:18] Tonisius: no, it does not change anything inside windows except for 'appearance' window itself [15:18] undecim_alt: not all too difficult, have you tried 7zip? [15:18] Tonisius: exactly [15:18] Melior: provide full path (PATH is different in your crontab) [15:19] undecim_alt: but you must tell, self-extracting on windows or linux? [15:19] netyire: Windows [15:19] jrib: full path for? [15:19] Rainy-day, can you post a screenshot of chrom icons? [15:19] Melior: for rarfs [15:19] imgur.com I believe [15:19] http://imgur.com/ [15:19] my gnome-icon-theme package won't configure properly (i did an install to gnome3, and then reverted back afterwards) is there any way to reinstall gnome-icon-theme without removing a large list and having kde supplements be installed? [15:19] jrib: Sorry but i don't know where it is..? [15:19] share the image on this one [15:19] undecim_alt: http://www.7-zip.org, the default install has an option to 'create sfx' when building a new archive. good luck :-D [15:19] Melior: type "which rarfs" in a terminal [15:20] jrib: /usr/local/bin/rarfs [15:20] click on the wrench icon on chrome, and hit the print screen button, upload the image it saves to the imgur site [15:20] Melior: use that instead of "rarfs" [15:20] jrib: ok trying :) [15:20] Gentoo64: if you go to appearance / customize / controls, they look very much like 'Raleigh' controls === Digital_Lemon is now known as Lemon`BRB [15:20] Rainy-day, not sure why the icons arent working :s i know, raleigh icons can be ugly [15:21] calum@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install rails ... E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [15:21] How do I get out of this? [15:21] Rainy-day, do you get raleigh icons in nautilus? [15:21] How can I install gnome3? [15:21] Rainy-day: you don't want to yet [15:21] hagus, something else us "using" apt. === TheCowb`y is now known as TheCowboy [15:21] !gnome3 | Rainy-day [15:21] Rainy-day: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and cannot be downgraded safely. [15:21] Gentoo64: yes, in nautilus same ugly buttons [15:22] You need to close whatever that other thing is (synaptic perhaps). [15:22] oCean: thanks [15:22] !aptlock | hagus [15:22] hagus: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [15:22] I downgraded almost entirely safely - but a package that is required seems to have been damaged.. or configuration stuck that's wrong an dpreventing it from working, i'm not sure [15:22] Will 12.04 be finally DVD release? [15:22] Hi all, quick question, using unity and the network menu has the Wireless Networks options greyed out any ideas [15:22] Rainy-day, really got no idea sorry [15:22] Gentoo64: no problem [15:23] macer1: why do you want to? [15:23] Rainy-day: got that image? [15:23] iwlist working fine, might it be network manger up the spout? [15:23] alex--, why you want it to be CD? Ubuntu needs to remove lot of cool stuff to be 700Mb. [15:24] ocean ubtto, that worked :) [15:24] thanks. [15:24] And yes I know that there is a dvd release [15:24] macer1: why not? [15:24] Tonisius: what image? [15:24] compressed wallpapers...still needing to remove something because it is already 700Mb [15:24] we asked for a screenshots === victorp_ is now known as victorp [15:24] Tonisius, raleigh icons are the default ugly gnome ones [15:24] there are many reasons [15:24] How can I create a windows live usb with ubuntu? [15:24] because the themes are universal [15:24] anyone know if it's possible to do upgrades from 10.10 to 11.04 without tons of prompts asking for yes/no? [15:25] Rainy-day: we wanted to see the effect of changing themes and your chrome wrench menu [15:25] looking to do unaided remote upgrades [15:25] safire: cron jobs, [15:25] safire, it does that for a reason [15:25] safire: or -Y [15:25] or was it -y [15:26] !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [15:26] but some prompts require text input, or validation via nice interfaces [15:26] jrib: Thank you, i just spend 2 hours debugging a script for this stupid error [15:26] this prevents problems [15:26] Tonisius: is this for do-release-upgrade? [15:27] hi [15:27] Tonisius: they look exactly like raleigh default gnome buttons as Gentoo64 said [15:27] safire: eh? I sudo update, upgrade, modify the /etc/apt-sources, and then do another sudo update, upgrade [15:27] Rainy-day, and a different icon theme is selected? [15:27] linux for ever [15:27] that's all? [15:27] safire: do-release-upgrade does a lot of what I said automatically, [15:27] that's pretty much what I'm changing. [15:28] Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/ttf-mscorefonts-installer_3.3ubuntu3_all.deb man-db [15:28] I see.. [15:28] look at how people update their ubuntu servers [15:28] Tonisius: wrench buttons is raleigh, wrench menu is the default gnome menu that looks ok.. pretty sure also raleigh. basically only buttons and similar controls look ugly [15:28] macer1,alex-- the Minimal CD is 19MB [15:28] Rainy-day: got that screen shot we asked for? [15:28] Rainy-day, i use the chromium built in theme (in the options) its much nicer [15:28] i said hi [15:28] Is there a way of getting rid of the problem with ms font? [15:28] haithem: you can just go ahead and ask your question [15:28] Tonisius: I don't have any image app installed and I don't understand why you need a screenshot when appearance panel / customize will show you exactly what I have [15:29] Dmole, and what? [15:29] just hit the print screen app [15:29] button* [15:29] just hit prtscr [15:29] Gentoo64: yes but it also affects thunderbird, gnome-terminal, etc [15:29] Gvim [15:29] it's a windows manager function [15:29] Rainy-day, i know. if the icon theme is selected, and youve tried rebooting idk what else to suggest [15:29] Tonisius: you alking about sources.list? [15:29] Tonisius: and then how do I create the img? [15:29] safire: [15:29] yes [15:30] !it [15:30] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!

[15:30] Rainy-day, i know what icons your talking about. you can prt screen then paste in gimp or whatever [15:30] or maybe it auto saves it for you idk [15:30] !nl | alex-- [15:30] alex--, please see my private message [15:30] hagus: You might try dpkg -reconfigure ttf-mscorefonts-installer_3.3ubuntu3_all.deb [15:30] Gentoo64: just save to desktop the print screen app in 11.04 will save it to the desktop [15:30] thanks usr13. [15:30] Tonisius: yes [15:30] Rainy-day: just save to desktop, and upload to imgur.com since you have chrome/firefox working [15:31] xchat it to answered people in chat room [15:31] ? [15:31] ok, I think I'm taking the day off [15:31] Tonisius: it doesn't create the image for me when I press print screen [15:31] haithem: what? [15:32] Tonisius: I'll try reboot as Gentoo64 suggested, come back in a bit [15:32] is it possible to mount partitions for writing using a livecd? [15:32] ocean im entered in a chat room and i talk with girl but i thing its aprogram answered me [15:32] not a girl [15:33] haithem: this is ubuntu technical support. Do you have an Ubuntu question? [15:33] haithem, you was probably talking to a bot [15:33] hi - i use autofs to mount network nfs shares. The shares mount fine, but sometimes they remount - even when a user is browsing the directory - which results in users' file browsers returning to their home dirs. Does anyone know how to stop autofs from continually remounting?

I have to go now. [15:53] And only what works for me is a ubuntu command line!

[15:54] usr13: *different error [15:54] I need to get data out of corrupted hard disk on laptop [15:54] BluesKaj: sure, lets go with that, as the Network will have a larger storage capacity then my system [15:54] Another big problem I'm having with 11.04 (which worked in 10.04) is autoraise behaviour.. I like to use autoraise, but when I press alt-tab to switch windows, autoraise causes old window to get focus after half a second [15:55] get focus / raise [15:55] Only way is to boot system from CD, but ubuntu didn't work properly [15:55] Rainy-day: so, got that screenshot?

Upgrade to 11.04 broke mine. [16:47] ikonia: the directory in question is a mount point: /mnt/downloads should I be altering the perms of /mnt just so I can use a mountpoint? [16:48] its the reason i hate non rolling distros [16:48] thisismygame: can the users see into /mnt [16:48] Gentoo64: can I access files (photos) flaged as a certain users on the hdd, from a livecd?

I just find it weird why windows got unbootable from one boot to another [16:51] wavedigit, i highly doubt its the ssd [16:51] probably windows being bad [16:51] or you messed with grub / win ootloader [16:51] Gentoo64: I already ran ntfsfix on it [16:51] nope [16:51] double checked the bios is booting from the ssd? [16:52] I have DVD tray first and then USB second, but I don't have anything in there, I'll make sure I get the SSD first in line [16:52] *checking* [16:53] i personally set hdd as only thing in boot, then press f8 to choose cd if i want it. might even be split second faster to boot that was as well [16:54] Gentoo64: I would do so too, but the F8 thing doesn't work with my laptop [16:54] ok [16:55] wavedigit, if its all set then im not sure what else to suggest [16:55] I understand the security risks, that's why I have BIOS password [16:55] nah i wasnt talking about security [16:55] i mean 99.9% of the time your gona be booting from hdd right?

[17:00] Hiro_Protagonist: what do you mean by raw image [17:01] Gentoo64: it didn't work here too, I'm beginning to think it's windows too (although my SSD is close to being the 1st gen SSD's) [17:01] it's a 24 bpp image file with 8 bits of alpha [17:01] wavedigit, its prob windows bootloader, although it normally displays an error message [17:01] Hiro_Protagonist: ahhh a visual image file. [17:01] no idea :s [17:01] gimp does not open raw files out of the box; and I can't get any of the commonly available gimp raw plugins to do it either [17:02] Hiro_Protagonist, i think gimp opens them [17:02] or not.. ok [17:02] anyone knows some good live linux distro with grub recovery tools? [17:02] Gentoo64: it did display an IO error once, but I don't get that anymore [17:02] macer1: ubuntu [17:02] Hiro_Protagonist: rawstudio can.

It is interesting if it still is removing GRUB2 -_- [17:04] macer1, it will [17:04] Hiro_Protagonist: what device does the RAW file come from? === Chiliblue_ is now known as Chiliblue [17:04] it is generated by a program, not a device [17:05] raw studio doesn't recognize either the r32 or the raw :| [17:05] macer1: it will [17:05] MS still not learned nothing :( [17:05] macer1, its nothing to do with ms. os's install a bootloader regardless, to boot [17:05] macer1: errr what ? if your installing an OS it's "good" to put a boot loader on [17:05] macer1: in the same way, ubuntu puts grub on [17:06] thats like saying ubuntu is bad for installing grub [17:06] macer1: before you try to make companies like microsoft sound foolish, think about what you say [17:06] its common to hate on MS [17:06] grub can boot windows, windows boot loader can not boot linux [17:06] its a trend [17:06] macer1: why would micrsoft install a boot loader to boot Linux. Think it through [17:06] It will not be a problem with grub2 replacing, if it can boot Linux. [17:06] macer1: Grub cannot boot Windows, it can chainload the Windows bootloader [17:07] szal, so why windows can't chainload GRUB ;) [17:07] macer1, because MS like their own stuff only [17:07] macer1: XP can :P [17:07] linux is just nice [17:07] macer1: it can if you configure it [17:07] I think UEFI does not have this problem. [17:07] MS = Main Stream, there has to be a mainstream [17:07] macer1: you think wrong then [17:08] OS install sets bootloader by default but you can change default and it is not deleted. [17:09] macer1, at the end of the day, when you install windows, youll need to redo grub [17:09] not too hard [17:09] once that's out the way, who cares [17:11] Shall I use Debian or Ubuntu? [17:11] alex-: up to you [17:11] ikonia: i dont really know...

[17:12] go for the one that sounds best for you [17:12] alex-: try both and decide yourself. [17:12] alex-: if you don't know which OS to use to run your hosting, you shouldn't be running hosting [17:12] hello [17:12] Pici: i did, i can't decide [17:12] alex-: when you decide which one you want, you can move forward [17:12] Debian uses stable, but older packages, and Ubuntu uses the Debian unstable packages [17:12] I installed lastest ubunto on wmware workstation [17:12] alex-: We can't decide for you. [17:12] alex-:use Ubuntu it is the most popular theny try debian if you want [17:13] after I hibernate and rehibernate the machine, I dont have internet anymore [17:13] i use bridged connection [17:13] can you maybe suggest me some things I could do to get access to internet again?

[17:13] Dmole: do you understand how bad it is to suggest a distro without any understanding of the users requirements [17:14] Gentoo64: I have no idea, its on virtual machine [17:14] ok. not sure then [17:14] also I should mention, that it works perfectly on win7 virtual machine [17:14] but ubuntu after hibernation loses the connection [17:14] why hibernate in a vm? [17:14] MapMan: idd [17:14] ikonia: yes I do, It's called learning by trial, if he needs something else he will find out soon and move to another distro or add the thing he needs [17:15] Gentoo64: for the same reason you hibernate any other system? [17:15] ikonia: better to have tried the wrong distro than to have never tried a distro at all [17:18] someone try typing /exec -o /dev/urandom and see if it works (it's not working for me, I have to use a line reading program to do it) [17:18] in their IRC client [17:18] err [17:18] someone try typing /exec -o cat /dev/urandom and see if it works (it's not working for me) [17:19] heey [17:19] !danger [17:19] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND!

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [19:27] Myrtti, why you send pacman___ to +1? He is using 11.04 [19:27] What's upp with all these FloodBots [19:27] genii-around: thanks, let me look at that [19:27] crass, ask a question when it is actually relevant, as-if stuff is a waste of time, you have no evidence at this time this is a theoretical question [19:28] pacman___, is this still questions about oneiric? [19:28] urlin2u: what are you talking about? this is a _real_ problem [19:28] macer1, he is not, he is using beta 1 [19:28] ! details | crass [19:28] crass: 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 ..." [19:28] urlin2u: My only question about oneiric was if there was a changelog, my main reason for coming here is my 11.04 boot issue [19:29] is there anyway in linux [19:29] to know my memory speed? [19:29] ok guys, which is better to use for video card drivers, Nov or Nvidia? i have a nvidia gt 220 card. [19:29] good to see that clear now :-) [19:29] like is it in /proc/raminfo/1066 or /proc/raminfo/1333 ?

[19:30] VampsDaBeast, opinions here are opinions nothing else, and we don't do that. [19:31] iceroot: to natty [19:31] macer1, I installed SDL through package manager and SDL_ttf manually [19:31] Sami345, run ldconfig [19:31] cheezus: can you post the complete error-message? should be found in /var/log/apt/term.log [19:32] iceroot will do [19:32] Sami345, sorry, sudo ldconfig [19:33] urlin2u, not lookin for opinions but more so for which is gonna give the best result with little hassle [19:33] How/when does ubuntu create user / directories for postgresql? I'm uninstalling/resintalling it and it's not creating postgres user or directories. [19:33] VampsDaBeast, to many variables try #hardware [19:34] hi [19:34] join #ubuntu-si [19:34] urlin2u, i've had to reinstall Natty 6 times because of the nvidia driver set. but could be many issue underlying [19:34] asdjaskdjaskdasd [19:35] urlin2u, ok, thanks, i visit them and see what thoughts they have. [19:35] VampsDaBeast, then ask a question with the details. [19:35] macer1: I don't see any messages in the dmesg log between 34.5 and 187.5, so whatever's causing the boot time to expand to 75+ is not listed there [19:35] Rainy-day: it will naver create "user directory" in /home [19:36] Rainy-day: cat /etc/passwd|grep postgres # home dir is /var/lib/postgresql [19:36] Dmole: I know, but it's not creating /var/lib/postgresql either [19:36] im not able to get sound [19:37] urlin2u, it seem that after i update the system, and run the nvidia installer, then reboot the nvidia driver seems to mess something up to the point i get stuck at a screen with nothing on it [19:37] ? [19:37] Rainy-day: did you try a remove purge? / how are you installing it? [19:37] Dmole: let me try remove purge.. [19:37] Rainy-day: 'postgresql' is a metapackage, make sure that you are removing/purging the the actual packages that it depends on. [19:38] Dmole: how exactly do I purge? [19:38] VampsDaBeast, nvidia is not an area I'm real knowledgeable in,others are posting the card will be you best bet .

[19:49] Kronsby, does it only freeze when you are using certain programmes, or does it happen at random? [19:49] BarkingFish, It is random [19:49] urlin2u: no it all assumes that postgresql created the cluster and inital postgres user. I don't see anything there about running into this error when doing apt-get install postgresql [19:49] Dmole: are you sure?

[19:50] I can now see "Enable Wireless" in Network maneger but I cannot see networks, my antenna must be turned OFF [19:50] ?! [19:51] I wanted to ask, will Ubuntu 11.10 come with Gnome 3.2? [19:51] wa alykum assalam. [19:51] OliveGreen: #ubuntu+1 [19:51] Guest48498: :-) [19:51] Kronsby, if you open a terminal and go to /var/log , you will find various logs in there containing details of your system, messages from the kernel and so on [19:51] MonkeyDust: Thanks [19:52] BarkingFish, What would I be looking for? [19:52] I had a hdd problem [19:52] I don't know if someone remembers me [19:53] I amnaged to fix it now after a reboot of the live cd( 1 hour long) and doing some lines in the terminal [19:53] BarkingFish, faillog? [19:53] Anything happening to your system would likely be in your syslog - perhaps look for errors in the log file, or maybe in the output from your kernel. [19:53] hi all === Guest48498 is now known as s1 [19:53] Kronsby, I have no idea on that one, never seen it or read it :) [19:53] Jus wanted to thank whoever answered me [19:53] quick quesiton : can i undo "rm -rf ? [19:53] quick answer - no [19:53] accidently ran it in my /var/log folder [19:54] if you did that as root, you lost whatever you did it on, trinimoses [19:54] does dmesg change at each reboot? [19:54] trinimoses: you have a chance with something like photorec [19:55] BarkingFish, I see that the time that it froze my network manager completing-> group handshake === s1 is now known as s1m [19:55] siftu thanks [19:55] * auronandace think the amount of people accidentally rm-ing things is amazing [19:56] Kronsby, are you connecting via Wireless or via a cabled connection?

If it is, I wish I'd known years ago, I've lost upwards of a half million mp3s because of that :) [19:57] upUbuntu, do you have a wireless radio on/off switch on your computer? [19:58] might be that you're trying to bring up an interface with RF deactivated on it [19:59] hi, is it possible to spin down a usb or firewire attached hd after a set time? [19:59] siftu hrm.. can i make a boot disk for it off my windows machine ? [20:00] BarkingFish: not sure. "rfkill list" shows that everything is blocked with "yes" everywhere. I am trying to "sudo rfkill unblock 1" to get them unblocked [20:00] my Dell laptop is flaky that way; If you turn wifi radio off with Fn key you have to reset bios to radio on even if it says on to get it working again [20:00] I think my WiFi driver got killed [20:00] so I need to just turn it on, at least the wlan0 interface is down but I get the err while trying to turn it on [20:02] haillo [20:02] hello im trying to install a .sh file but with no success, i get a cannot allocate memory message, anyone help? [20:03] nuclearworm, chmod +x file.sh [20:04] nuclearworm, ./file.sh or sh file.sh [20:05] worellana , thanks going to try [20:05] nuclearworm, ok :) [20:07] worellana , it didn t work but thanks anyway [20:07] BarkingFish: well it can be recovered.. if the deleted file hasnt been over written yet [20:08] anyone know how to do a low-level format of a drive? [20:08] Dang. I'll remember that for the future, SIFTU - thanks :) [20:08] dennister: what do you mean by "low-level"? [20:08] I think the drive is still intact and usable, but the partition table and everything else is toast [20:09] yeats: does that ^^ answer your clarifying question? [20:09] dennister: ah - then 'sudo fdisk /dev/' is the command line way [20:09] BarkingFish: trinimoses http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X91sKWXqW6w [20:09] dennister: otherwise, gparted does it well [20:10] yeats: gparted can't even recognize the drive when it scans for devices [20:10] cheers SIFTU [20:10] Can someone take a look at my bootchart and help me figure out why my boot is so slow (11.04 AMD)? http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/1706/pacmandesktopnatty20110.png [20:10] dennister: ah - well, then see if 'sudo fdisk -l' sees it [20:11] yeats: it didn't [20:11] pacman___: is alsactl currently running? Do: ps -ef | grep alsactl [20:11] dennister: then you might do some log searches (maybe start with /var/log/dmesg?) [20:12] question : log files are normally text files in teh /var/log folder right ? [20:12] trinimoses: yes [20:12] drive is totally unreadable when it has an invalid partition table, so logs won't help [20:12] k [20:12] i hope photorec can recover my log files [20:12] :( [20:12] dennister: fdisk would still see it [20:12] was in the wrong folder and got distracted [20:13] How can I redirect output (command > output) aswell as output in terminal? [20:13] dennister: I would think your next step is to figure out why your computer isn't seeing the drive [20:13] skjoedt: what? [20:13] skjoedt: tee [20:13] !tee [20:13] pacman___: why do you have virtualbox and vmware? [20:13] yeats: well, in a terminal with the systemrescuecd (alrady root) i typed in 'fdisk -l' and got nada [20:13] skjoedt: just do a 'man tee' it is an easy command [20:14] dennister: that's troubling then :-/ [20:14] connect #oaza [20:14] th0r, okay thank you [20:14] jrib: I see 3 entries (other than my grep) for alsactl [20:14] How can I force wlan0 up without rfkill? [20:15] auronandace: I was trying to get the Win8 beta to run as a VM; thought I'd try both [20:15] pacman___: issue: sudo rm -r /root/.pulse* (WARNING: DO NOT MAKE A TYPO IN THIS COMMAND) your problems will go away [20:16] pacman___: stick with one or the other, having both is going to add to your boot time (how much, i couldn't tell you) [20:16] Now I'm having a problem with psql (postgresql-client-8.4 and ..client-common are installed): Error: You must install at least one postgresql-client- package. [20:16] yeats: have you ever seen a drive with a bad sector, logical block 0...could that be what's making the disk totally unusuable? testdisk sees it and some of the partitions, but that's it [20:16] aptitude or apt-get? [20:17] benoliver999, whichever one you want [20:17] Polah: No one is better than the other? [20:17] jrib: I'll try that and restart [20:17] dennister: a bad sector would explain what you're seeing, yes [20:17] auronandace: I've since removed VMWare Player [20:17] pacman___: actually that probably won't work since your user can't see inside /root. So you may have to issue « sudo -i » and then run the command without sudo [20:18] pacman___: it is still in that boot log though [20:18] yeats: and if it's a bad sector, the drive isn't worth trying to use? [20:18] benoliver999, aptitude has a menu system. apt-get is all command line. [20:18] pacman___: alsactl should not be around once you login and stuff. And the udev script that runs alsactl is what is holding up your boot [20:18] auronandace: I just removed it and haven't posted a new bootchart. [20:18] join #ubuntu-si [20:18] Slightly different command structure, but they do the same thing [20:18] hey guys [20:18] Bit of an odd request, but does anyone know who owns or runs FloodbotK1 please? It's running amok in #kubuntu [20:18] dennister: probably not :-( [20:18] ok, i made a big mistake [20:18] Polah: Thanks. [20:18] pacman___: oh, i see, sorry [20:18] so how do you recover from a "rm" command? [20:19] BarkingFish: got it. [20:19] nvictor: restore from backup [20:19] nvictor: you don't, hopefully you had a backup. [20:19] SITFU u here ? [20:19] Pici, thanks. I've no idea what's up with it, but it just went gaga :) [20:19] th0r: ;( [20:19] h00k: ;( [20:19] This file does not exist even though it's in the list of postgresql-client files: /usr/lib/postgresql/8.4/bin/psql [20:20] th0r, h00k: it was nice meeting you guys, i will now die in peace ;( [20:20] Need some debug expertise: I am trying to use this script ( http://pastebin.com/tzxQ2XRJ ), but I am getting a syntax error on line 31: "Syntax error: redirection unexpected". I'm quite sure it has something to do with the output in the end of the line. Can someone identify the problem? [20:20] The trouble is, I dont know exactly what the author is trying to do [20:20] * auronandace doesn't understand how people aren't careful when using rm [20:21] skjoedt: you pipe the output of a command to tee. For instance cat /var/log/messages | tee messages.txt will show the messages log on the screen, and at the same time write it to a txt file [20:21] jrib: My boot time went down to 45 seconds from 75. Thank you! [20:21] th0r, very handy advice, thanks [20:22] pacman___: in my case it was something like 45 seconds from 3 or 4 minutes -_- [20:22] trinimoses: kind of [20:22] auronandace: it's all about backups ;-) [20:23] th0r, can you help me with the above syntax error? [20:23] yeats: i wish more people were that sensible :) [20:23] pacman___: I haven't had to time to look for nor file a bug, if you want to do so [20:23] SIFTU : i dont see anyway of run Photo rec against a particular folder.. is that possible ? or should i just leave it to run across the whoel drive [20:23] skjoedt: what syntax error? [20:23] jrib: I was in the process of filing a "OMGWTFBBQ" help thread, so now I've got before/after bootcharts for a bug report [20:23] skjoedt: ah...just give me a sec [20:24] trinimoses: to be honest I'm not sure [20:24] th0r, thanks. Im not sure what the author is trying to do here [20:24] I have an older machine, and a new machine. Both are running 11.04. How can I move every setting from the old machine, to the new machine? Thanks! [20:25] skjoedt: I am not a script guru. It looks like he wants to pipe to a file with the timestamp as the filename, but that would be something like > $TIMESTAMP I thnk [20:26] karen_m, every setting? [20:26] pacman___: I should have told you to preserve /root/.pulse* . I think I had some stale files in there (I had .pulse-cookie .pulse and something else (or maybe something extra in .pulse)). Anyway, I do not remember exactly unfortunately :/ [20:26] skjoedt: how are you running the script? [20:26] jrib, sudo sh script.sh [20:27] urlin2u, yeah all my packages i've installed, the settings and what not. I was thinking of just copying ~karen but I have a ssd and have to mount other drives now for Downloads [20:27] skjoedt: this is your problem. Do you want to try to guess why or are you not really interested in the guessing? [20:27] i figured there was an "easy transfer" like win7 has [20:28] !dash | skjoedt [20:28] skjoedt: /bin/sh links to the DASH shell in all releases since Ubuntu Edgy (6.10). Since DASH is not 100% compatible with the BASH shell, some scripts might break. You can make scripts execute using BASH by changing the first line of the script to « #! /bin/bash [20:28] jrib, I guess sh is not in short for bash and I'm doing it wrong :) [20:28] * jrib nods and suggests: sudo ./script.sh [20:28] when I open Banshee with my nexus S mounted, it hangs. Any ideas? If I kill; unmount; restart banshee it works fine.

That means that you likely aren't going to be able to recover (or filter by) path / file name at all.

I've already installed and correctly configured NTP on the cloud controller and the node controllers, the time is perfectly synchronized. Still, I get these errors!

[22:32] nuclearworm: No, that's incorrect. uname -a === G7|Cloud is now known as G7|AWAY [22:32] what would allow you to run a graphical program like links 2 without x? inx does it...?? [22:33] graingert: http://pastebin.com/skTFKJD6 this is my xorg.conf [22:33] Corey , Linux ubuntu 2.6.38-8-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:50 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux [22:33] graingert: robertzaccour ffmpeg can record the desktop [22:33] hylian: ssh -Y to localhost [22:33] nuclearworm: Please pastebin the output of free -m [22:34] qin im back... typing the command sudo pm -suspend did in fact recreate the problem of closing the lid [22:34] Corey: suggestions??? [22:34] MonkeyDust, so they are ssh'ing into a localhost? but a gui never launches... it's all done from the same machine...?? [22:34] does anybody knows a good application for recording 3d games (like fraps)? .. im not searching for something like recordmydesktop, because it takes to much power. [22:34] rgb247: crumbs okay rather than merging in your xorg.conf can you call this one xorg.conf.bak [22:34] now about those logs... im on the log viewer but im lost on wich ones are the ones you need [22:34] rgb247: and make a new one with your current settings [22:34] hmm [22:35] rgb247: this has way too many changes [22:35] Corey , free -m is about ram? [22:35] graingert: ok, I'll backing up now [22:35] hylian: you can boot into a terminal and the ssh -Y to you own pc [22:35] todd__: I suggest not binding Tomcat to port 80 at all. There are very good reasons not to do this. [22:35] graingert: I've made a backup [22:35] hylian: or you can ssh -Y to a remote pc and run a graphical program [22:36] Corey: I am aware of this... should the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheTomcat5 page have that section removed? [22:36] nsq: if it opengl based you can try glc [22:37] Corey , Mem: 496 475 20 0 37 187 [22:37] sup all [22:37] rgb247: okay now make a new one - using nvidia-settings [22:37] todd__: No, they describe how to do it. That's ill advised, but that's their prerogative. [22:37] MonkeyDust, ok, but why would that allow you to run a graphical program? this is a live cd that does not run x, does not connect to any other machine, but is still able to run graphical apps, and runs off of ubuntu... [22:37] rgb247: how you want it to be most of the time [22:37] SIFTU: would it work with directx games running in wine? [22:37] rgb247: ie two screens [22:37] nsq: nope [22:37] rgb247: but don't merge it, say to create a new one === Zephr0 is now known as Zephr0`afk [22:37] Corey: well then why does it not work, wait let me go to the support site... #ubuntu... ough wait :-) [22:38] todd__: I feel like I'm explaining why things are done a certain way, and you're ignoring everything I'm saying and demanding an answer. [22:38] graingert: I don't understand, I've made a copy of xorg.conf named xorg.conf.bak, now what I should do? [22:38] edusan: logs have time stamp, messages syslog and kern.log are usual suspects, what if you sudo pm-hibernate [22:38] graingert: can we talk in private please? [22:38] todd__: One I've already given you, in fact. [22:38] how do I add an --indirect-rendering argument to Unity compiz?

[22:39] hylian: "why" is a philosophical question, but do try ssh -Y [your_ip_address] "firefox" [22:39] should I get 10.04, 11.04 or 11.10 ? [22:39] nuclearworm: That would do it. [22:39] edusan: Have you checked if your kernel is same as mentioned in bug? [22:39] rgb247: use the nvidia-settings too to create a new xorg.conf [22:39] rgb247: how you would like your desktop to be [22:39] Corey: I am sorry if you feel that way, but I guess I am missed where you explained how one would make :80 look like :8080, could you tell me again please? [22:40] graingert: I want my desktop to be like in the first xorg.conf which I've sent to you [22:40] MonkeyDust, i could see that working, because currently I am running x. [22:40] rgb247: I know but it's been merged over the top of a load of other configs [22:40] kernel.org is still down. [22:40] rgb247: and it's too messy [22:40] wow [22:40] graingert: so I need to clean the xorg.conf and after config again, right? [22:40] what do you recommend me ? 10.04, 11.04 or 11.10 ? [22:40] hylian: great, now try it without running x [22:40] rgb247: just run nvidia-settings [22:41] 8.04 FTW. [22:41] pythonsnake: do you want to upgrade every 3 years or every 6 months? [22:41] haha [22:41] graingert: I ran [22:41] rgb247: and save your current settings to the xorg.conf and don't let it merge [22:41] got it, wait a second please [22:41] rww: hmm, i dont care of that.. [22:41] I can upgrade everytime [22:41] sorry i dont understand how to compare them, and i know it might be kind of annoying. [22:41] rgb247: it's clever this - you'll like it [22:41] edusan: diff [22:41] MonkeyDust, ok ill get inx up and running and do that. I guess my thinking process was that all graphical programs on ubuntu had to have x running firest? [22:41] honestly, it seems like ubuntu is getting much worse. kinda seems thrown togther. [22:42] hey little help please, all of a sudden all my videos in Movie PLayer (totem?) play in black and white.... whats up with that? [22:42] rww: both seems ok [22:42] hylian: first write down that line, lest you forget it [22:42] graingert: http://pastebin.com/WJkZvgwV [22:42] rahduke: you can set the saturation somewhere [22:42] Corey: Are you there???? [22:42] pythonsnake: if you don't care then go for 10.04 and be happy with stability. [22:42] rgb247: you checked it works? [22:42] pythonsnake: then 10.04 [22:42] rgb247: much nicer init [22:42] yeah... 10.04 [22:42] graingert: I didn't made a restart.. I should do? [22:43] duh fixed it myself.... sorry [22:43] graingert: only saved these configs [22:43] ok 04 [22:43] thanks [22:43] rgb247: yeah to check it works - if it does not you'll need to copy your backup over [22:43] graingert: how can I be sure it's work? I need to restart my computer? [22:43] OK I will take that as they have droped off... [22:43] rgb247: restart x or log cycle [22:44] window 1 [22:44] can anyone explain why the port redirect in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheTomcat5 does not work? [22:44] window 2 [22:44] Corey , perhaps i should upggrade kernel? [22:45] nuclearworm: That doesn't necessarily follow. How's that going to sort out a memory allocation error? [22:45] nuclearworm: Either don't use a LiveCD for things that require that much RAM, or upgrade the system with more RAM. [22:45] Corey: NICE, very nice! Please do not talk to me ok? [22:45] can anyone explain why the port redirect in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheTomcat5 does not work? [22:46] I'm going to switch to Ubuntu. [22:46] rgb247: you still alive? [22:46] todd__: The people here are volunteers. It's a good idea to remember that. :-) [22:46] Corey , it s not a livecd but a liveusb, is it the same? [22:46] nuclearworm: Same theory, yeah-- the running system lives entirely in RAM. [22:46] anyone have a link to Documentation detailing the metacity-theme-V.xml files? [22:47] Corey: Sure, and beleve it or not I have helped 5 people while waiting, and I am not rude [22:47] can anyone explain why the port redirect in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheTomcat5 does not work? [22:47] the theme I'm using has some issues i'd like to fix, but the values aren't even in the xml file. [22:47] MonkeyDust, heh, that port be closed matey. [22:48] hylian: which port? [22:48] nevermind, found the documentation [22:48] Corey , ok , thanks very much [22:48] ok, I've restarted the startx, everything is fine [22:48] graindem: are you still there? [22:48] nuclearworm: Good luck. [22:48] MonkeyDust, 22 [22:49] hylian: Ooh, good call, matey.

If ye think that having an application server natively listen on port 80 be a smart move, to the brig with ye! [22:58] yea, well still no anwser, and infact I dno not appreciate someone telling me "its simple" and not giving me an answer, if they kept there mouth shut when they obviosly know nothing that would be one thing, but to intentionaly waste my time, I am sorry I just do not like that [22:58] todd__: what if they knew so much that explaining it to you would be complicated? [22:59] rgb: http://pastebin.com/WXr4D2Mi [22:59] todd_, its easy man [22:59] I can't find a way to increase the font of the bookmark bar in chrome, gtk theme even, any thoughts?

[23:07] rgb247: you can remap the keyboard with a ~/.Xmodmap file. Use xev to determine the proper keycodes [23:07] yes, some one mentioned before that it might be a bios related issue [23:07] sudo bash -l [23:07] and that i might need the newest bios [23:08] http://paste.ubuntu.com/693398/ <--- the log that followed the command to suspend the pc [23:08] exit [23:08] logout [23:09] th0r: what is xev?

[23:20] i think so. i know it is for openbox [23:21] hm [23:22] mordof, you can install gnome colors to change this I think [23:22] i could be wrong, ive only played with themes a few times [23:22] edusan: No idea.

[23:28] cobra-the-joker: yeah, it still isn't quite appropriate for this channel [23:29] optical: Sometimes, depense form vps [23:30] don't i just need an updated sources.list or something ? why would my ubuntu installation suddenly be obsolete and unable to upgrade to current ? [23:30] optical: Tell your provider that you want new version.

[23:32] cobra-the-joker: for me and stability its the best! [23:33] bastidrazor: what are the major differences between both .... only stability vs software updates ? [23:34] cobra-the-joker: i don't know. [23:34] bastidrazor: ok ... Thanx anyway for the recommendation :) [23:38] strigoi66: you may need to be connected to the internet to download the driver. try using a cable.

[23:42] hello world ! [23:43] delinquentme: you need sudo permissions to do that.

[23:50] thor yeah i just noticed that but doesnt change any sorry for the typo [23:50] strigoi66: you need to install the firmward to /lib/firmware and maybe then modprobe b43 or wl...whichever ubuntu has there now [23:51] so I've linked a file from my /usr directory ... its currently locked within my home folder ... and I'd like to unlock it and be able to make edits without ' sudo ' ... this is a chmod operation right ? but which folder am I chmodding? [23:51] well i use 3ware raid controlelr for home use [23:51] th0r K thanks will try [23:51] f_kafka: `Tis nay designed fer RAID duty cycles, an' 'tis likely a green drive. [23:51] strigoi66: i think the firmware is available now via a deb, if not, I can get it to you [23:51] uhmm [23:51] IBM/hitachi has one not green [23:52] th0r cool will google it [23:52] If you don't care about your data, feel free t' use a consumer grade drive. [23:52] delinquentme: the linked file in /usr [23:52] :) [23:53] what's a good program to use [23:53] and that is like " sudo chmod 777 -R /arduino/ " [23:53] to save the desktop a window is on?

How do you deal with this kind of problem? [23:59] delinquentme, If you want the Octal numbers, remember 4 is read, 2 is write, 1 is execute - you add each together for Owner, Group and Others. [23:59] The problem is described in detail here: http://serverfault.com/questions/313200/ubuntu-enterprise-cloud-ncs-down-and-time-synchronization [23:59] lauratika: you have to tell the hub which ip to forward to. In all probability you are using dhcp for your home network, so that IP will change every time you turn on the computer. You need to go to static ip's if you want to do port forwarding in the wifi hub
