[00:07] BarkingFish: d is a directory, l is a link [00:07] Corey, so when I've seen people give out 4 digit octal perms, what's the first digit for - like 2777 for example? [00:08] BarkingFish: And they be made via mkdir and ln, respectively lad... [00:08] BarkingFish: man chmod, ye scallywag!

[00:14] Hi everyone, I need to dualboot windows 7 and Ubuntu and need to install windows 7 from an usb stick, actually tho I have no BIOS option to boot from an USB stick, I happen to see that someone managed to "achieve" this using grub, what would i have to do to make grub2 boot the windows installer from the usb stick? [00:15] jason_hudson: http://www.linuxselfhelp.com/gnu/grub/html_chapter/grub_4.html [00:15] jason_hudson: you can use the USB stick at boot when pressing F11 or another function key. [00:15] miguet: not supported [00:16] jason_hudson: See my link then. [00:16] must be an old mobo. [00:16] jason_hudson, http://www.plop.at/ easier then using grub === anna is now known as Guest39820 [00:17] how about doing it using grub2 possibly simplifying it a tad? [00:17] jason_hudson: If four lines at the grub prompt are too complex, perhaps the problem lies elsewhere? [00:18] jason_hudson: What's the real world problem you're trying to solve here? [00:18] When I try to upload files to firefox, GTK's File Chooser only has thumbnails on the side. Is there a workaround I can stick somewhere to make it look more like nautilus? [00:19] Corey: I think i need something windows specific, unless I'm looking at the wrong 4 lines i don't see it === Guest39820 is now known as hughissuper [00:19] Sorry about the username [00:22] Corey: real world problem? pardon?

[00:25] disc [00:26] urlin2u: yes but don't have windows one [00:26] is there a way i can hide my mint 11 box from others on my lan? still accessible but not advertised in the network browser? [00:26] jason_hudson, look at the plop link it is for using a disc to boot the thumb. [00:26] !mintsupport | bigd [00:26] bigd: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [00:27] when I insert a usb drive my Ubuntu 10.04 automatically mounts it. How do I change this auto-mounting option or policy? [00:27] woops hehe [00:28] urlin2u: that stuff is closed sourced tho, and i hear grub2 which is open can do it [00:28] jason_hudson, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1549847 [00:28] urlin2u: having a look, thanks for bearing with me [00:28] jason_hudson, geez your installing windows and complaining about closed source , are you mad laddy. :D [00:28] th0r thank you for the info got wireless going :) [00:29] I was wondering how do I add a persistence option to a bootable ISO of Ubuntu? I used YUMI to create it and Casper-RW Creator to create a Casper-RW. [00:29] urlin2u: windows is needed for a specific use, ubuntu which is the "trusted os" out of the 2 will handle "sensitive" data, better keep it as clean as possible [00:30] jason_hudson, and that makes perfect sense, lol plop is a safe app. [00:31] jason_hudson, it just boots the disc that is all it is not a install. [00:33] Is there a way to create a drop down list in OOo Calc in a cell without using Form Controls? (sorry OOo.org is dead) [00:33] urlin2u: apparently tho windows won't boot that way [00:34] anyone have wow working on ubuntu 11.04? [00:34] Hmm. ssh claims my host's key fingerprint has changed, and I don't remember changing the key. [00:34] jason_hudson, http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html#noinstall [00:34] read [00:34] B0g4r7_: so to be safe, change it again now [00:35] Scunizi: Data > Validity [00:35] I don't know if I want to even connect to whatever that is. [00:35] \ [00:36] graingert, guess you are gone, too bad. I can't thank you and give you loads of money and silver trinkets [00:36] rusty149, I'll look at it.. thanks [00:36] Scunizi: Change the drop down to list. === jason_hudson is now known as alex_Denton [00:36] jason_hudson, if you set up the windows 7 correctly on the thumb I would suspect it boots with plop,ntfs partiton extract W7 to it, and a boot flag. [00:37] rusty149, yea.. It's been about a year since I've needed this function.. I always have a hard time finding it. [00:37] If it has been compromised, can further damage be done just from the act of me sshing into the compromised host? For instance, could the ssh password being used be stolen? [00:38] I need to find some other hosts that have copies of this host's fingerprint and see if they agree. [00:38] urlin2u: ok I'll have a look at that thanks [00:40] jason_hudson, you saw the iso from a partion link as well using grub2 [00:40] How can I derive the key fingerprint from the key itself? [00:40] partition* [00:40] ~/.ssh/knoown_hosts just has the keys in their full form... [00:40] urlin2u: you mean in the ubuntuforums thread? [00:41] i think if the guy changed your pass, and you try a wrong pass, it is being logged, so yes he can potentially get it [00:42] jason_hudson, yeah you may be right with the plop although I see claims to doing it, just might be tricky. [00:43] the UF yes [00:43] (B0g4r7) [00:44] incorrect passwords are not logged in sshd by default [00:44] urlin2u: on the forums it was stated that such procedure does not support windows, i wonder if an "update-grub" would do it as i actually saw it being listed after i installed grub into the usb stick, but for some reason the pc's grub did not start anymore (must've messed) [00:44] the system logs that an incorrect password was given, but not what the password was [00:44] this is, I believe, configurable [00:44] that's what I said [00:45] ha k sorry I'm wrong [00:45] jason_hudson, personally I would just get a dvd, unless that reader wont read that. [00:45] it's late here [00:45] power/settings menu button randomly disappears from menu bar in 11.10 [00:45] urlin2u: don't have one for that pc, not anymore and i'd have rather avoided to spend money on a new one, on such an old pc [00:45] pr0ton, #ubuntu+1 [00:45] The question being whether the cleartext password is ever received by the server being logged into, or whether the ssh protocol only allows a hash of the password to be transmitted. [00:46] B0g4r7_: nothng goes clear text with ssh [00:46] pr0xy, #ubuntu+1 [00:46] I remember seeing the password in clear text when a wrong pass attemp was made [00:46] a long time ago.. [00:46] pr0ton, yes, you want to be in the #ubuntu+1 channel which is the official channel for pre releases [00:47] I understand that everything is encrypted over the wire... [00:47] it's easy to test [00:47] 10.04 ... very nice ... been using linux for over 3 years now and this is one of the finest ... amazing job guys ;) [00:48] jason_hudson, W7 will adjust to low cpu and ram but only so far, are you sure this is even a good idea? [00:48] How is it easy to test? [00:48] for the password being shown in clear text in your logs, you know how [00:48] urlin2u: cpu is fairly decent, ram too, I'll need windows for a short length of time i guess it's a "decent" idea [00:49] it's me again people... how do i set a static ip address to my computer [00:49] Well, I know it's not logged by default. I guess I could see if there is an option to log that documented... [00:50] But even if no such option appears, that is no assurance that the plaintext password is not recoverable by the attacker who is the other participant in the ssh session, and posesses it's keys . [00:51] I am dual booting fedora and ubuntu and I just installed fedora which got rid of grub. I want to get into my ubuntu [00:51] I'm a big fan of nautilus crashing all the time. <3 [00:51] Kronsby, you have the ubuntu disc?

[00:52] Kronsby, read carefully 3 methods https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling_GRUB2 [00:52] that's why they say don't use the same pass everywhere [00:53] Touché. [00:53] It looks like such an attack is indeed possible: http://www.symantec.com/connect/articles/analyzing-malicious-ssh-login-attempts [00:54] I guess I'll wait until I can get physical access tomorrow to be safe. [00:54] Hello. I am trying to setup the Mail notification app in Ubuntu 11.04 64bits. I want to add a Hotmail account, but there is no such an option, there is a POP3 option -I read that hotmail has some POP3 features-, so, I want to know what server is Hotmail, it asks me for a server name, How do I found out what server is hotmail or Yahoo and Gmail? === GHost is now known as Guest37669 [00:55] anyone? [00:55] Can anyone recommend a good virtual keyboard? [00:55] Osmodivs: you'll have to check out Hotmail's documentation for retrieving by POP3 [00:55] magn3ts try orca [00:55] pr0xy, that's a speech system? [00:55] Osmodivs, if you're not using the paid hotmail service it won't do pop3 or imap [00:56] h00k: That's newbi hostile territory [00:56] lauratika: if its a desktop machine you can use the NetworkManager to use static ip [00:56] Scunizi: So there is no much of a use for a standard account in this app, eh? [00:56] Osmodivs: Gmail will do POP3 and IMAP for free, I don't know about Yahoo [00:57] magn3ts oops. is this for a tablet? [00:57] ntr0py: it is [00:57] Osmodivs, with hotmail you're out of luck. like h00k says.. gmail will do what you want. [00:57] gnome? [00:57] yes [00:57] magn3ts try GOK [00:57] h00k: Well, I added a Gmail account with no problems, but I do not know how to in Hotmail [00:57] pr0xy, I just need to loan out my KB for a minute. Looks like ubuntu ships with onboard which will work for my purposes. [00:57] Osmodivs, If you want to get tricky, set up hotmail to forward to gmail and retrieve from there.. [00:57] Osmodivs: looks like you can't, with Hotmail [00:58] Set the hotmail account to forward to the gmail account. [00:58] Osmodivs: h00k hotmail supports pop3 since more than 2 years [00:58] I think I just said that... [00:58] Scunizi: That's sound like a nice plana [00:58] xangua: for a price, yes. [00:58] lauratika, use the icon with the who arrows (up/down) in your Gnome panel to edit the connections [00:58] h00k: no, for free [00:58] Osmodivs, xangua; I stand corrected [00:59] quit [00:59] eixt [00:59] lol [00:59] :q [00:59] remote_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[01:00] yes thats what im trying but does not work im using this tutorial http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-ubuntu-linux-convert-dhcp-network-configuration-to-static-ip-configuration.html [01:00] Osmodivs, when you set it up, if it has the option to delete the message off the server after forward then that might make your life a little easier managing the two accounts. [01:00] xangua: How di you knew I speak spanish? [01:01] did not, i do [01:01] ?????? [01:01] ?? [01:01] ??

[01:18] I will try something be back in a bit [01:19] ugh [01:19] ok guys when i'm tryin to wget and the url has spaces in it.. what do i use for the spaces in the CL [01:19] i am using a router [01:19] The one time I need help in Ubuntu+1 and no one's there. :( [01:19] VampsDaBeast: url's do not have spaces [01:19] edwardthefma: set it in the router dhcp and you will have a static ip from your router. [01:20] syn-ack, 6mins is a bit pushy [01:20] hi all, i have been monitoring my network traffic and i have a lot of ssdp packets being sent is there a way to disable upnp in ubuntu (fresh install) [01:20] usr13, many of the SourceForge url's have spaces [01:20] set waht [01:20] what [01:20] forgive my noob ness [01:20] edwardthefma: set an ip for your mac address [01:21] VampsDaBeast: I have yet to see a URL with a space in it. Please share with me one that does. (I do now believe you.) [01:21] ok [01:21] usr13, http://sourceforge.net/projects/vhcs/files/VHCS%202.4/VHCS%202.4.8/ <<< haha.. its adjusted them [01:22] VampsDaBeast: So do you now agree that URLs do not have spaces? [01:22] usr13, in FireFox. i see http://sourceforge.net/progrects/vhcs/files/VHCS 2.4/VHCS 2.4.8/ [01:23] usr13, then you tell Firefox that and make it believe it lol [01:23] VampsDaBeast: Trust me, URL's do NOT have spaces. [01:23] usr13, i'm a web designer, and i knew something was fishy when firefox was showing spaces. [01:24] VampsDaBeast: THen you should know. [01:24] VampsDaBeast: just run wget like wget -args "myurl" [01:24] usr13, i did.. but how am i to know that each system uses the same char set for space [01:24] % is now a space [01:25] read man bash for advanced help on using the shell [01:25] % is not a space [01:25] So I've seen this asked before, but can never find one concise answer to the question: I just had to reinstall Ubuntu, decided to stick with 10.04. And now webpages are loading very slowly if at all. I know I had this problem when I first made the switch from 9.04 to 10.04, and cant remember how I solved it [01:25] When did Canonical upgrade the free Ubuntu1 accounts to 5 gigs? wow [01:25] at any rate. i know now to use %20 as a space.. [01:26] VampsDaBeast: use %20 as a space in WHAT? [01:27] hello, i installed the font "calibri" on my ubuntu system, but it looks very very ugly in libreoffice (looks like there is no anti-aliasing or something), why is that? how can i correct that? [01:27] it looks fine with the fonts shipped with ubuntu, only calibri looks terrible atm (different then in a windows machine) [01:27] does anyone know how to turn off upnp? [01:28] nsq: Do you need to install MS fonts? [01:28] surfnsound, without any details your sort of dead in the water, such as which browser, how much cpu and ram to begin with. [01:28] sp4z, Disable Ahavi [01:28] usr13: actually "calibri" is my favorite font, so i would really like to use it [01:29] nsq: sudo apt-get ttf-mscorefonts-installer [01:29] usr13, There's nothing wrong with the MS Corefonts. Use them all the time. and you're 100% correct, the corefonts don't Anti Alias in linux.

[01:31] urlin2u, can you refresh my memory on how I fixed this last time? That does sound familiar now that you mentioned it [01:32] actually i have the font now, that's not my problem, the font just looks ugly like in fedora 15, not like in ubuntu (with anti-aliasing and stuff). i updated the font cache and stuff of course [01:32] it looks like on a crt display, hard to describe because i dont know so much english :P [01:33] hey guys. so i have set my ubuntu machine up with an openvpn server. now, i need to allow routing from my openvpn clients through my ubuntu machine. is there some sort of configuration i need to do to allow my machine to route packets?

The problem I'm running into is that Windows 7 comes with two extra partitions that are for the recovery stuff. basically i have a system with 3 primary partitions and to squeeze ubuntu and OSX on there i figured an extended partition would work. works great for swap and ext3, but for some reason, i cant add an HFS partiitiion to my [02:03] extended partiition. Any ideas? === termleech_ is now known as termleech [02:04] FlintWestWood: can you burn recovery disks? [02:04] FlintWestWood, Ubuntu only here. [02:05] FlintWestWood: ubuntu will install on an extended partition, idk about OSX (and idc about OSX :p) [02:05] its a hackinwinosxuntu machine [02:05] FlintWestWood, how is HFS in an extended partition, or booting OSX an Ubuntu issue? I believe it's a violation of Apple's policies to boot OSX on non-Apple hardware. [02:05] its got 30gb of ubuntu in there :) [02:06] FlintWestWood: actually i saw a thread on "insanelymac" about tripleboot with linux, windows, and osx .. maybe you search for that [02:06] well i cant add a partition to the hdd for osx to install to [02:06] ok [02:06] thanks [02:07] hackintoshes aren't worth the effort [02:07] anyway === tum is now known as Guest23415 [02:08] hi [02:09] true. i had a hackintosh, and you are always very afraid of updating and stuff, because it is very possible that osx will be broken after an update/upgrade [02:10] yeah [02:10] this more of a proof of concept [02:11] than anything else, normally the triple boot is easy (1 priimary partition per OS) but with windows taking up 3/4 slots.. [02:12] its proving to be the usual pita that iive dealt with since ive started this hackintosh adventure. crazy thing is, ubuntu is way better performance and usability wise than OSX [02:12] !ot | FlintWestWood [02:12] FlintWestWood: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[02:18] POS nautilus still crashing every 10-14 minutes [02:18] yeah, usally it takes alot on big drives/partitions [02:19] if you do no "quick format" thing [02:19] however, i still have this font issue with "calibra": http://s3.imgimg.de/uploads/fontprobdd18312cpng.png [02:20] anybody had this?

[02:21] yes magn3ts [02:21] magn3ts: but it also looks like this in gedit [02:22] silverarrow, if all is correct, thaose partiond should be made in less then 5 seconds, are you moving the partition or resizing? === sonic_ is now known as Guest37390 [02:24] it seems to have finished now [02:25] urlin2u, I manage to delete the whole thing, disk utility is tricky [02:25] I was going to move filesystem [02:25] luckily there wasn't much on it [02:25] silverarrow, use gparted disk utility is very limited. [02:25] but my lupe savefile went out the window [02:27] silverarrow, I don't think you can move or resize in disk utility is is delete or build, and a few other things. [02:27] urlin2u, that's probably it then [02:28] and it does't have that many sanity checks [02:29] silverarrow, lol open source assumes your sane. :D [02:31] urlin2u, final warnings, and making thing really clear, oh I need that [02:32] Where can i find good wallpapers for ubuntu desktops [02:32] especially without license problems [02:32] google images?

[05:28] mordof: attempted that -- no dice! seems it's all set correctly. [05:28] Why did no one tell me about synapse?

[05:30] Shirakawasuna: because we don't support it? [05:30] bz_: indeed. if you disable unity but don't substitue anything else - you won't have anything [05:30] pfff, that's no reason [05:30] clear [05:31] bz_: I strictly use command key shortcuts and gnome-terminal to use my computer now [05:31] Shirakawasuna: actually it is a very good reason... [05:31] mordof: hrmm -- doesn't seem too be what I'm looking for! ;-), thanks anyway!

[05:32] Shirakawasuna: it's not in official repositories tho... [05:32] bz_: which parts of the themes don't work? [05:33] hey guys. [05:33] Shirakawasuna: the panels. [05:33] Myrtti: http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/synapse :) [05:33] mordof: ok, no problems! [05:33] bz_: ah. Well, the panel is part of unity.

[05:33] Shirakawasuna: his theme is meant to work with gnome-panel in classic [05:33] Shirakawasuna: I've switched to classic mode* [05:34] Shirakawasuna: there shouldn't technically be a problem [05:34] mordof: yeah [05:34] bz_: http://cl.ly/291P2J123G2Q3v1D1h2G [05:34] this is not for malware but simply for ease of setting up an appliance. [05:34] anyone got any ideas? [05:34] I guess I was assuming that gnome2 might be slightly buggy now that it's less supported [05:34] but it's probably something else [05:34] Shirakawasuna: I stand corrected, noticed that once my unresponsive device coughed up info... [05:34] bz_: In classic mode are things working better? [05:35] synapse is in the universe repos. [05:35] . [05:35] mordof: have you tried out tiling wms? [05:35] Shirakawasuna: wasn't a matter of better, or worse, I just like simplicity. [05:35] Shirakawasuna: tiling wms? no [05:36] mordof: looks nice, similar to my desktop when I was running cairo-dock, I had no top/bottom panels. [05:36] bz_: :) [05:36] +z to launch gnome-terminal, simple [05:36] Shirakawasuna: example? [05:36] mordof: might want to try one out (awesome3 or xmonad are the ones I personally like) [05:36] mordof: sure, I'll find a good screenshot [05:37] brb! [05:37] can't say for sure if i'll want to use it. I'm really enjoying not having anything except my running applications and my clock on my screens :) [05:37] so it all depends on what it offers [05:37] grendal-prime: ifconfig? nm-cli? [05:38] mordof: the relevant question might be how attached you are to using the mouse. Tiling WMs tend to be more keyboard based [05:38] anyone know of any good screen printing/ t-shirt design irc channels? [05:39] somsip: with this setup it's keyboard based as well, though I still use the mouse some [05:39] google knows [05:39] ex0: lol [05:39] wow [05:39] all the screenshots I find are ugly. My xmonad was never quite this ugly ;) [05:39] :P [05:39] somsip: I'm not against getting rid of mouse functionality provided that it's more efficient of a setup to just go to the keyboard entirely [05:39] mordof: k - sounds like Shirakawasuna is finding you some links. Could be worth looking at tiling if you happy with shortcuts [05:40] this is slightly less ugly [05:40] mordof: http://uhsure.com/xmonad-log-applet.jpg [05:41] you can make it much prettier than that [05:41] I don't really like tiling my windows like that tbh [05:41] basically, most windows will be auto-maximized. If you open two windows on the same desktop, it's splits them. [05:41] I'm used to organizing my windows with workspaces anyhow [05:41] You can store windows on different desktops, or have them auto-load to different workspaces, to ensure that some apps always get the whole screen [05:41] yeah.. that wouldn't be too good for me [05:42] ex0, google dont know jack. i've asked him already [05:42] i tend to have lots of them overlapping simply based on priority, but arranged so i can get at them easily [05:42] there's also different layouts you can use. [05:42] hmm [05:42] some will be fullscreen all the time [05:42] and you use shortcuts to toggle through the windows [05:42] e.g. alt+j [05:42] Shirakawasuna: yep, i have those currently as well [05:42] It's definitely not everyone's cup of tea, mordof, but it doesn't hurt to give it a try :) [05:42] Shirakawasuna: i've got lots of window management shortcuts set up in compiz [05:42] mordof: There is great moment in life of linux user, when you will realise that there is The Compiz out there. [05:43] I'm not even using a tiling wm atm [05:43] qinns: lol, a large majority of my current setup is based on custom Compiz settings :) [05:43] mostly because if someone else rarely has to use my computer, xmonad drives them insane [05:43] Shirakawasuna: actually i like my computer like this :) when nothing is running - there's absolutely no way to launch something unless you know the shortcut keys XD [05:44] nice [05:44] that's how most people run xmonad imo ;) [05:44] they have a little status bar at the top of their screen with no clickable elements :) [05:44] if I ever feel the need for an auto-organizer of my windows I'll take a deeper look into it [05:44] ick - can that be removed? [05:44] it's not default, iirc [05:45] k [05:45] mordof: you know when I first login, the theme is working, then it switches off? [05:45] bz__: so something that launches is breaking the compatibility [05:45] yep. [05:46] very irritating! [05:46] bz__: so is it just gnome-panel that doesn't match everything else? Maybe you could configure it (right click -> something about panels) [05:46] bz__: yeah, i've had that happen in the past.. but i'm still not quite sure how to fix it [05:47] Shirakawasuna: correct, but all the panel properties etc are set to "theme" [05:47] mordof: little things like this kill me, hence why I just use terminal! [05:47] Shirakawasuna: bz__ 's problem is that there's an application preventing the panels from being themed properly [05:47] mordof: although they theme at the start. then something loads, and bo0o0om! gone~ [05:47] bz__: lol, yeah [05:47] bz__: Try setting it manually to something that matches the theme and see if it'll stick. It's both a workaround and a test of how deep the problem is. [05:48] even nautilis is themed [05:48] you could always try a little `mv ~/.local ~/localbak` *after* logging out [05:48] bz__: i'm not used to reading an analog clock in my top right hand corner -.-; lol [05:48] or check your startup applications and slowly remove them [05:48] lol [05:49] gnome lets you just uncheck them, yes? Easy to restore startup apps? [05:49] * mordof nods [05:49] maybe I'll roll back to hefty? :-) [05:49] bz__: you know.. i was just thinking. This background (the ambiance and everything of it) + the color and style of that clock.. Did you ever play the game Thief? [05:50] mordof: never! :P [05:50] 1 sec [05:51] how can i tell how much memory onboard my graphics card has? cmdline please. thanks [05:51] bz__: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/images/june08/limbo2-thief.jpg it was an old game [05:51] bz__: it gives off a similar feel to it i guess. [05:51] mordof: I see -- nope, only ever played ARC, and call of duty! [05:52] mordof: this Ubuntu session is installed on a virtual machine, so I try to keep all the colors equal. [05:52] hm [05:52] mordof: have 3 screens, 2x 24", 1x 42" [05:52] bz__: you have tri-monitor working on ubuntu? [05:52] mordof: 2 are running Win7. [05:53] oh, they're not all on the same computer then... [05:53] mordof: yes, all running win7, ubuntu is on the 42 as a virtual box. [05:53] bz__: oh, that's entirely different then [05:53] Brb! going to reboot, there was a 'visual enhancer' on the startup apps. [05:54] bz__: i run ubuntu as my main OS, and i have 2 monitors with TwinView currently.. I've done some research and adding a third looks to be a paid [05:54] pain* [06:03] , [06:03] [ [06:03] [ [06:03] piotrek: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:03] ok [06:03] I run Xubuntu, and I want to give unity a look-see but I can't seem to see it in my list of sessions. [06:04] it probably isn't installed, Ycarene [06:04] I did install it [06:05] well, that's all I got ;) [06:05] Hmm [06:05] I'm not sure if you need to restart gdm/lightdm/whatever for it to recognize a new session [06:05] restarting the computer entirely would do the same job [06:07] also my $.02 is that xubuntu is nicer :), at least for 11.04. [06:07] It might be more worthwhile to try out a VM version of oneiric standard ubuntu (w/ unity of course), since it should have more features [06:08] hrm! [06:08] still trying to do it! [06:08] Well, I haven't even tried unity so I can't honestly say it's better, (though I suspect, at least for me, it is). [06:08] disabled a whole bunch, and nothing -- [06:08] brb, gonna try something. [06:08] how do i kill a defunct process? [06:09] (i've googled this aplenty. sudo kill -9 doesnt do it) [06:09] kill its parent [06:09] what if its parent is process id 1 [06:09] hi [06:09] is this the right channel to ask a question regarding to .desktop/.directory files? [06:09] blacksunseven: which process is it? [06:09] well, um, hmm. [06:09] scarleo, xbmc [06:10] blacksunseven, htop? [06:10] blacksunseven: kill -9 xbmc xbmc.bin [06:10] blacksunseven: that should do it [06:10] scarleo, that's what causes it to become defunct [06:10] blacksunseven: reboot and sob [06:10] blacksunseven: did you kill the bin as well? [06:10] blacksunseven: and avoid using kill -9 whenever possible [06:11] xbmc usually doesn't need it (I kill it all the time) [06:11] xbmc crashes any time i stop video playback. [06:11] PatrickBic, if ubuntu yes. [06:11] urlin2u, yep [06:11] it wont clear the last frame and then i try to kill it to get back to desktop [06:11] then it just goes defunct [06:11] Shirakawasuna: I have had that with xbmc and believe me it needs -9 sometimes [06:11] blacksunseven - try using pstree to see all the processes associated with it. [06:11] ok: do i need to look at categories.xml to get the menu entries (aka directories) or do i need to look at each individual .directory file? [06:12] I've had it as well, and killall xbmc.bin eventually works [06:12] ps -A | grep xbmc [06:12] 2128 ? 02:06:49 xbmc.bin [06:12] blacksunseven: did you kill the bin as well? [06:12] pstree | grep xbmc [06:12] |-xbmc.bin---{xbmc.bin} [06:12] yes scarleo [06:12] blacksunseven: try logout and then in again [06:13] scarleo, rebooting fixes it, it's just, i'm trying to avoid having to do that every time this happens [06:13] which is everytime i stop video playback in xbmc [06:13] does anyone know how ubuntu deals with multimedia keys on modern keyboards? I know about xf86 driver that deals with these keys but I've tested and the events generated by these keys are not passed to x11. I cant figure out how to capture these events. [06:13] so far the xbmc people have been far from helpful [06:13] don't grep it, less it and see if there's anything other than init above it. === hello24 is now known as awas [06:14] Ycarene, nope, just init === awas is now known as zomgrofler [06:14] Hmm [06:14] blacksunseven: does xbmc log say anything useful?, you should get crashlogs [06:14] obviously the ideal solution would be the FIX XBMC raaaage [06:14] scarleo, not that i have found [06:14] blacksunseven: are you running stable or unstable? [06:14] http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=110452 [06:14] stable [06:14] have you tried changing your video rendering settings, blacksunseven? Even to the dreaded 'software'? [06:15] (in xbmc of course) [06:15] Shirakawasuna, I have changed the video rendering in xbmc quite a bit, to get rid of any screen tearing [06:15] I would set it back to defaults and try software rendering, just to see. It's basically xbmc's safe mode. [06:16] ok, i have to reboot, but i'll give it a shot [06:16] brb [06:16] anyone some idea? :( [06:18] PatrickBic: About what? [06:18] repost: ok: do i need to look at categories.xml to get the menu entries (aka directories) or do i need to look at each individual .directory file? [06:19] PatrickBic: I don't understand what you are talking about, what menu entries? [06:21] every DE constructs its menu out of some config files; so it puts the installed apps into categories and displays them. such categories are listed in /usr/share/app-install/categories.xml with names and synonyms. but such categories are also listed in /usr/share/desktop-directories/*.desktop with name/etc [06:21] which one to choose? [06:22] Alright, changed to software rendering and tried playing/stopping - same results [06:22] I have a dwa-130 dlink adapter which worked with ubuntu 11.04 using ndiskgtk windows wireless drivers. Just updated to ubuntu 11.10 does not seem to work. maybe gnome 3 compatibility issues? any help? [06:23] guys, have set ubuntu to 'user defined' login, now I don't have any panels, how can I change this back? [06:23] blacksunseven: I found this error: in your logs ERROR: Unable to load libcrystalhd.so.3, did you try install ilibcrystalhd? [06:23] opps wrong place [06:23] sorry [06:23] I am going to go to ubuntu+ [06:23] blacksunseven: Also, are you using VDPAU? If so try without it [06:25] blacksunseven: correct name is libcrystalhd3 [06:25] scarleo, apt-get that? [06:25] blacksunseven: yes, it's in xbmc repos === static_void is now known as static_void_ [06:26] ok its installing [06:26] once its done, i'll reboot and disable VDPAU and try again [06:27] If I can manage to run xvnc inside an openvz container then would I be able to connect to a gnome/kde desktop and run stuff like xchat the way people use RDP to connect to windows desktops?

I want to edit some .pdf document under ubuntu. Which software should I use? [06:36] blacksunseven: is xbmc scanning library or doing anything else when you are trying to exit? [06:36] scarleo, how could i check that? if you're asking if there're any gui indications of that, the answer is no [06:37] blacksunseven: it is possible to get scanning dialogue in settings [06:37] yeah, i mean, when it is scanning i see it in the top right [06:37] blacksunseven: otherwise start it and let it just sit for a long time, then exit and let it sit for a real long time totry to get a clean shutdown [06:37] but i'm not seeing that when this is happening, no [06:38] ok [06:38] i mean, should i just do a fresh install from source? [06:38] XBMC used to work flawlessly for me on 10.04 [06:38] blacksunseven: maybe, or perhaps try unstable, it's not that unstable [06:39] blacksunseven: running out of ideas [06:39] would i be able to just move my config files between the two or would i need to reconfig everything? [06:39] blacksunseven: if you are to get rid of problems I would start over fresh [06:39] hi all [06:39] alright, well, i appreciate the help [06:39] ...gotta restart again [06:41] tinybird: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/list-of-pdf-editing-tools-for-ubuntu.html [06:43] does anybody know weather there have been any issues with the AMD phenom II X6 processor and ubuntu 10.04 [06:43] could someone help me access an encrypyed 7zip file made on mac osx with a gui 7zip proggy, it has aes i think? how do i extract? p7zip ignores it with -d [06:45] is there a standard way to have aes data in a 7zip [06:45] ?

[08:00] meco: ya [08:00] cvam: burn it on cd/dvd or convert it into .iso and mount it [08:00] cvam: You can either burn the data (image) to a CD (Use K3b for example) or you can mount it. Either way you will have to fuss around a bit. Its not instant. [08:02] FishFace: I tried to make it iso file. After making iso file , I extract that iso but again I got bin and cue file [08:02] FishFace: if it'a movie ffplay and mplayer can do it [08:03] Всем привет [08:04] cvam: The .bin file is the larger file. When burned to a cd the contents are extracted onto the cd in a fashion you can use. So, you can burn a cd or you can 'mount' the .bin file (or .iso if you did it right) as a virtual CD.

[08:34] seren, ask steve, this is ubuntu support [08:34] here ill astebin my nfs configs [08:34] I mean help with restoring ubuntu [08:34] nibbler_: Do you mena "Share internet connection via USB"? Isn't that opposite direction of internet sharing? [08:34] freeroute, yes, [08:35] Blackhex, its the wrong way, but it enables this usb-net thingy on android. from then on its up to you to set your routes, masquerading etc. [08:35] txomon: are you using GRUB? [08:37] freeroute, yes, but I dont have installed any x32 kernel, i first need to install it [08:37] my power manager preferences lack the "on battery" tab - how to activate this? [08:38] nibbler_: I've tried that but no device is create either now: http://nopaste.info/7383efc975.html [08:38] please someone step by ste im lost [08:38] txomon, just copy it over from any 32bit linux (vmlinuz-* initrd-*) [08:38] steve nfs [08:39] nibbler_, ?¿ i dont have a 32 x system... If I had it, I would use it [08:39] seren, you are talking about an arch linux and a mac, so the steve you need to ask is not in this channel ;-) [08:39] how do I add a new locale to a machine? locale -a does not show it [08:40] sudo apt-get --reconfigure locale [08:40] nfs is not working in ubuntu either [08:41] Hi yall [08:41] hi [08:41] Good day to all here [08:41] jatt: do you mean, «dpkg-reconfigure locales»?

[08:45] nibbler_ , no i haven't tried yet [08:45] !repeat | zs1otb [08:45] zs1otb: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [08:46] answering myself: install the proper language-pack-foo package [08:46] aldos, so crash it, try to get to a console and tail /var/log/syslog - also use alt-sysrq-r,e,i,s,u,b to reboot to avoid an unclean filesystem [08:46] aldos what are you talking about..? And what switch [08:46] how about me ? [08:47] html, i guess a killswitch for wlan? [08:47] TL1 what's you need ? [08:47] TL1, what was the grub command you were giving? [08:48] sudo grub-update [08:48] sudo grub-install /dev/sda [08:48] im a noob to linux. just installed the newest ubuntu a few weeks ago now i'm checking out a few different things. tried to install xmms a music player but in order to do that i need glib which has been such a pain in the but to install. does anyone know how to install glib? [08:49] nibbler i tried to press ctrl+alt+f1 and i wasn't able to come back here [08:49] there was a command line [08:49] htlm: I'm installing grub2 and it is saying something about bootblocks bad idea and to use --force should i use this ? [08:49] htlm: notice I copied all files from my ubuntu filesystem to a virtual disk. [08:50] snarg: why xmms, isn't it dead since a while? tried audacious or qmmp? [08:50] i like winamp and i read xmms is similar. audacious or qmmp i have not checked out.. [08:51] I'm using the chroot in grub2 documentation [08:52] snarg: theres xmms2 in the repos, maybe read about that too [08:53] I have a "new" error on the JACK server not being able to connect as a client. I have this problem since yesterday... Any help? [08:54] snarg well thanks for trying out the os ,and find the exact spelling and name off what you need then google it, search the package manager under system/ admin [08:55] copied few fonts, how to reset those from terminal ? [08:55] I'm using audacious and it works great the sound quality also good... [08:56] rhythmbox is also good [08:57] Audacious ? Long time nice app IM not sUte how to get it to work but I heard good things [08:57] try clementine [08:58] TL1 dont force,and nobbie [08:58] is there a way to create a script that allows me to check if the remote machine is online and if this is the case I transfer a file from this machine to the remote? [08:58] Is there anybody who knows something about JACK servers? [08:59] paul68: setup a ftp server on the other [08:59] paul68: like: ping -c1 && scp file machine:path [08:59] paul68: Why don't you just transfer the file and if that fails, report an error? [08:59] aldos, ok, so go there, check out the syslog for anything (using tail /var/log/syslog), check dmesg|tail, if you feel like it use "sudo restart gdm" to restart your graphical screen, you can also try alt-f7 to switch to the window manager, but as it hangs this wont help you without a restart (see before). also try t tell what exactly is hanging... [09:00] paul68: It's possible that the machine replies to ping for instance, but SSHd is not running. [09:00] how to reset the font from terminal ? [09:00] llutz something like that [09:00] jpds ssh is running on both machines [09:00] paul68: easier to let the machine pull the file when coming up [09:01] paul68, just use scp and check the return value to see if it was successfull [09:01] hi [09:01] htlm: what then ? [09:01] what am i doing wrong if my external keyboard doesn't map caps to ctrl? [09:01] llutz_ this way the remote machine checks if this one is online and then get the file from this machine [09:02] paul68: Yeah, but it might stop running for $whatever reason. [09:02] TL1 is a bad combo , do your research first ask a lot of people ,cox if you break it well ,,its not pretty,... just keep in mind that finding the answer is 1/3 the problem the other parts is trying to get it to work and fixing it it didn't work ..

[09:10] dmtarmey, that command does not fix anything there. this command uses the lists to update your repository. yout remove on of the "http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ natty/partner" lines in /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.canonical.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_partner_binary-i386_Packages [09:11] ok which one should i remove ?

Server aborting [09:11] melvincv_: i think complete removal might help [09:11] dmtarmey, any of the two. but make sure you leave one in place. so best is just to put a # in front of the line instead of actually removing it. then run aptitude update [09:12] 这里有人吗？ [09:12] yo' fellows I need some support uninstalling freeNX server /or maybe NXserver from computer and installing-it back on .....problem is I was running dpkg -r but the system reports the server is still running ?1?!?! === FlyingFoX13 is now known as FlyingFoX [09:14] parapan: broken prerm-script. sudo killall nxserver or however the process is called [09:14] Also, it is weird that when I my account settings, I see that evolution's settings window is beyond the screen, though my resolution is 1366x768.

Just incase have 10.04 ready if all else fails [10:18] hi guys, using 10.04 - is there a possibility to use network-manager-openvpn with static ip? the option is greyed out and only dhcp is available for me? [10:18] hi, old slackware user has a ubuntu question: I'm testing a usb modem, but both /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages remain totally empty? [10:18] i didn't want it to upgrade from 10.10 all i want now is for it to /work/ - - it toasted firefox too, and other things - i'm mad. [10:19] IamTrying, simply 'sudo apt-get -f install' without specifying any package didn't help? [10:19] chalcedony do you have everything backed up [10:19] markiv, no same error [10:20] what is headless ubuntu image? [10:20] htlm, i have 3 partitions, so the os is separate, and i backed everything up on 9-1 but i would hate like crazy to lose things. - why? [10:20] Hi there, just installed fresh 11.04 along with updates, however for some reason it uses VESA which doesn't support 3d acceleration instead of Xorg's open-source Intel driver (it's installed however), how do I fix that ? [10:20] IamTrying, if you have Synaptic, I would try to completely remove and reinstall xdotool from there. [10:21] NotTooDumb3: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/11.04/release/ [10:21] pkug, we should form a support group for people who were crippled by the upgrade to 11.04 [10:21] markiv, ok thank you [10:21] chalcedony your in the core messing with admin perssion [10:22] IamTrying, or you could install directly from the tar.gz file from here: http://www.semicomplete.com/projects/xdotool/#id270064 [10:22] i haven't upgradet, it was fresh installation.. VESA is being used instead of Intel driver.. I think I need Xorg.conf but i don't understand why it doesn't try to use it by default :\ [10:22] htlm, i'm not doing anything but chatting with you. [10:22] upgraded* [10:22] markiv, cool [10:22] dpkg-reconfigure thing didn't help too [10:23] So you have all your files right?

Now the only monitor resolution I get is 640 x 480, 0 Hz, and Monitor Preferences is unable to detect my monitor. How can I address this?

[11:07] compdoc: does it play over wireless N also? [11:07] oh sorry, G i meant [11:08] crispy_chunks, I dont use wireless, so not sure [11:09] Probably not is my guess, think I can manage some way around it though. Seems like xbmc supports it out of the box also [11:09] sweet :) [11:10] pretty pricy though ;< [11:10] crispy_chunks well what kind of horse power do you got...

[11:12] I just plan to watch it on one computer -- although if its possible to watch on all computers on the wireless G at once it would be even cooler [11:12] I LOVE HUGE BALLS [11:12] crispy does dd command work when partition size is different? [11:12] crispy_chunks,hdhomerun and myth combo but its the best without must hassel and you can do wireless to [11:12] Hi, I'm trying to run ubuntu live on HTPC I've just built. Every time I get initramfs unable to find a medium containing a live file system. How do I debug? [11:13] uuplatina: I think you can expand the partitions afterwards [11:13] Dumb question but...

[11:13] hi how do i activate on ubuntu the cpu turbo mode [11:13] havent tried that though, but give it a shot, its pretty simple -- first partition the 640 gig then dd the old partitions to the new ones and expand [11:13] crispy_chunks partition are already created on new harddrive [11:13] I don't want to screw up my precious harddrive (okay it's not precious, I just want to avoid doing work) [11:14] then dd the partitions one at a time, see what happens -- worst that can happen is that it doesnt work and you have to partition the 640 gig again right? :) [11:14] hdhomerun seems like an excellent solution thansk [11:15] Anyone help?

Then how do you save your Firefox passwords safely. [11:18] I have an open guest account on my laptop. Which directories would you recommend hiding in addition to /home?

There is this very specialized on ...works on windows and most odd Linux [11:20] crispy_chunks dint take of yet ill see if o still have the book mark [11:21] johnhamelink: Have you tried creating the USB stick with Unetbootin? http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [11:21] ujjain, i use keepass2 [11:21] Ujjain: that's insecure. Try keepassx, lastpass, or clipperz instead [11:21] @dovekie, no I haven't. I'll try that now! [11:22] i'd use keepass2 before keepassx [11:23] johnhamelink, when you burned the cd/dvd, what speed did you use? [11:23] TheCowboy: why is that? [11:23] 04:03] <+uuplatina> and i have to type mount -t xfs -o rtdev=/dev/sdb4 /dev/sdb3 /mnt/media in order for me to read the data [11:23] [04:04] <+uuplatina> when i browse through /mnt/media; how do i tell what files are in /dev/sdb3 and what files are in /dev/sdb4 [11:23] I'm on a mac right now (I know, I know), and I just used the default disk utility to burn the disks - but I've burned like 5 of them now [11:24] johnhamelink 11.04 has giving so many PPL in the last 4 hrs. numerous problems ,,,and I warn u now..

[11:25] uabn93, my rough understanding was that keepassx is slightly behind, and plans to move in the direction of keepass2 === Mud is now known as Guest56760 [11:25] also, if you want to use keepass2 on other platforms, keepassx doesn't support the keepass2.x databases yet [11:26] hi, can anyone help me? I installed lubuntu in a VM, with no extra packages and when I rebooted, i have a black screen, with a cursor. [11:27] im taking out in the grub the splash and quiet words [11:27] TheCowboy, uabn93, keepassx = keepass1, keepass2 is available for Ubuntu, but no firefox extension?

[11:28] http://keepass.info/plugins.html#keefox [11:29] i haven't tried any of those though [11:29] I didn't know keepass2 had Linux support [11:29] TheCowboy: Only work on Windows. [11:29] ahh [11:29] so anyone? [11:29] keepass2 is available for Ubuntu, not in default respoitory. [11:29] hmm, ive got the ~/.config/google-chrome dir intact from previous installation - can I retrieve the settings from it for my new OS install? Copying it directly make chrome whine about bad config files [11:29] Oh, that's really strange. I can speak on #ubuntu but not in #archlinux... [11:29] keepassx is in default repo, but looks not as good. [11:29] aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa: identify, leave & rejoin channel, should work then.

[11:35] (johnhamelink) htlm, would you recommmend I stick to 10.10 ... Actually if its a Linux only machine dual boot it ... And it help if this is a htpc to get a min of 2 gb of ram... 4 to 8 is better ( if you go with a TV tuner you must have that high horse power.. Well and windows loves you even more ..) so 10.04.3 LTS will be around for a Betty long time... And use this as your base os dual boot the other side as a testing os ...if u messy up its ok [11:35] Repo [11:35] htlm, I dunno I think i'll just stick with the latest [11:36] I don't mind if it breaks, I just want it to work now :P [11:36] question, i created a system user, but when i ssh into the box, its almost like the shell is operating in a completely different mode than what im used to... i tried googling 'ubuntu shell mode' but nothing of relevance seems to pop up [11:36] but everything i do is off.. i cant explain it [11:36] like if i press the up arrow and i expect my last command to appear, i instead get wierd characters [11:36] Monkey_b: how did you create the user? === aknm is now known as monk [11:37] installing keepass2 was a breeze, 1min install. [11:37] i was logged in as root and used 'adduser' [11:37] Monkey_b, maybe thats from the ssh client youre using [11:37] thing is as root everything works fine... [11:38] its when i use the new user that it all acts weird [11:38] i can try deleting/recreating it i suppose [11:38] Monkey_b: interesting. Please paste output of: getent passwd WHATEVER_THE_USERNAME_IS_HERE [11:38] root shouldnt even exist [11:38] Lastpass is great, too. [11:39] O..looks like I have to go [11:39] compdoc, root always exists, just has no password [11:40] guys im an idiot [11:40] i got a problem, while booting up the system after the logo screen i get an popup error with a red X icon. There are no texts or anything else. there is just one button and after i press it i will end up at my desktop. [11:40] i think i did a 'useradd' not a 'adduser' [11:40] Monkey_b: yes... [11:40] Monkey_b, welcome to the club [11:40] johnhamelink IM really trying to set u straight and make sure you dorky spend the last 5bea trying too get11.04 to work when she was a lawyer and Court was due soon... then bams her keyboard didnt work .... Its our version of vista and macs newest loin [11:40] i just deleted/recreated the account and everything works fine [11:40] sorry and thank you :] [11:40] Monkey_b: useradd will set the shell to "sh" by default which points to dash [11:40] htlm, predictive text? o.0 [11:40] Yeah, would've been interesting to see /etc/passwd. [11:40] but glad that it works [11:41] johnhamelink compare to... And yes ..) [11:41] htlm lol! [11:42] Blush* [11:43] Need some help here. Been googling for hous now. I installed Ubuntu 10.10 with the windows installer (I'd really like to migrate from win to ubuntu, but this is doing my head in), and now I can't seem to upgrade to 11.04: An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade (Before this error I get a message about some packages being disabled). Any hints? [11:44] Monkey_b thats the way to do it,,, I just wish Linux had a reset button for everything [11:45] Have reccomendation for best file system to be used for a backup drive? [11:45] DennisRas: installing ubuntu inside windows is called wubi, you are better off with a vm or installing ubuntu proper in its own partition [11:46] DennisRas... ooh ouch hate that bug(s) [11:46] auronandace: thought that the "wubi" installation had partitioned as well [11:46] hi to all , can anyone tell me how to connect to wireless network with channel 13 , because Ubuntu can't find channel 13 just 1 to 10 [11:46] DennisRas, was it a fresh install of 10.10 ? [11:46] auronandace agreed [11:47] DennisRas: no, its just a file on the ntfs partition [11:47] glebihan: that depends on what "not fresh" is then. Had nothing installed prio [11:47] auronandace: but does that mean you can't actually upgrade ubuntu? odd? [11:47] DennisRas, what I meant is : did you just install it or was it there for some time already ? [11:48] Vali ...? thats mostly Japan and a few like counties [11:48] glebihan: new install yes but with the win installer [11:48] * auronandace really doesn't get the point of wubi, especially when you can install ubuntu in a vm [11:48] auronandace, you can also do a real install trough wubi [11:48] not i'm from europe [11:48] What's wubi? [11:48] glebihan: seriously? [11:48] win ubuntu installer i guess [11:48] DennisRas, then you should probably just get a 11.04 CD and run the installation from the beginning [11:48] auronandace: Yeah I'm quite sure [11:49] auronandace, yes but it also raises quite a lot of issues [11:49] glebihan: does sound like quite a hack [11:49] Well the only reason I used wubi is that it gives me a fallback in case something goes wrong [11:50] DennisRas: a vm is more safer anyway [11:50] I have a strange issue with the network. It only works if i try to ping an adress that doesn't exist. As soon as i stop the ongoing ping command I can't access anything on the network. If i don't do this, the ethernet connection works for a few seconds after connecting. [11:50] I wasn't fully committed to ubuntu yet, but now i am and cant really get it up and running :/ [11:50] Can't see anything suspicious in the logs, works fine in windows. Worked fine yesterday. [11:50] ROFL, wubi is the best thing, it gets people to try ubuntu the easy way. Trying to install under ubuntu can be extremely alienating for some people glebihan. HELL-O, these are windows users you speak of. [11:50] cls [11:50] It's enough they worship and bow to windows. [11:50] Vali wifi channel 13 is restricted in most countries,except a pan in some like minded countries.... What's you need it for? [11:50] auronandace, not a hack at all [11:51] Ibis: You are 100% right about that [11:51] Ibis, and ? they'll have less issues with a normal install than wubi... [11:51] Vali japan [11:51] Being a win user since I was a kid and suddently changing is quite a challenge and a big step to me [11:51] because of my ISP , [11:51] i'm from Albania [11:51] Oops, that message was meant to go to auronandace here. [11:52] So is wubi just a teaser then? [11:52] Ibis: a vm is safer and imo easier [11:52] :DP [11:52] my ISP has the default channel 13 , so i can't do anything htlm [11:52] I never could get wubi to work [11:52] anyone here knows what chat did nikita useD? [11:52] DennisRas, maybe not just a teaser, but definitely not the best solution to do a complete install [11:53] htlm: what do you think is the solution ? [11:53] DennisRas, it's just less ALIENATING to windows user. All you do is repeatedly click on the NEXT button without reading (typical windows user) Then they wonder why their computer is godawfully slow with a gazillion webbrowser TOOLBARS. [11:53] liveCD dualboot then [11:53] !ping 203.87.234.226 [11:53] never use win again [11:53] Well the issue here is that I've got no other hardware than this laptop so I can't just wipe off Win and all the docs I've got there, so I guess I'll have to go crazy with the backups and wipe this laptop clean [11:53] DennisRas, the purpose of wubi is to let people try ubuntu without having anything to change to their system, once you decide you want to use ubuntu as a daily system, a "real" installation is better [11:54] glebihan: yeah I get that now [11:54] I never understand why these companies markets stupid toool bars, they NEVER have any real use. Best tool bars I can think of is handy crap that can be useful for website developers. I found toolbar that was for different purpose (nothing to do with developing) but still. [11:54] Ibis rotf! LOL [11:55] What I don't get is why firefox can't do vertical tabs like chrome [11:55] Does this work in Ubuntu? http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/CheatSheet#Screencast_recording [11:55] anyone knows where i can find the setting file of gnome2 panel? i got a problem..http://hiphotos.baidu.com/elvis5437/pic/item/1bec22124d4d82a8a6ef3f23.jpg [11:55] Question. I uninstalled the nautilus and then the installed again. Now Unity does not workand many problems came up.Does anyone Know whether if it is possible to correct the problems; [11:55] DennisRas and yea< i do got your point there. I LOVE virtual box. OMFG, it's funny, you can "Herp-derp" windoze... It makes me sometimes feel sorry for windows... NOT! xD [11:55] Chrome can do vertical tabs now? [11:55] <}[oo]{> problem with WPA2 auth failing; no discernable cause. identical install on another machine has not failed to auth. [11:56] DennisRas: you don't have to wipe out windows, just shrink the windows partition and install ubuntu in its own partition (dual boot) [11:56] auronandace: it's already like that [11:56] Chrome has done vertical tabs for awhile [11:56] it has the "New Tab" button at the top [11:56] Suggestion for Eclipse and JQuery plugin? Aptana? [11:56] and every other browser has it at the bottom [11:57] auronandace: wubi has an option to create a partition and a dual boot which im using [11:57] DennisRas: oh, i don't see the point of that when you can just do it normally [11:58] my ubuntu installation is not linked with the windows partition (or so I believe) except that there's an ubuntu installer/uninstaller in the win part [11:58] auronandace: well as Ibis said, it's to make it easier for Win users to get involved [11:58] It might have resized the windows partition [11:58] one question > can someone recommend some video processing softwares for linux ? some like Sony Vegas or adobe After effects or ....whatever ....mostly basic video editing and encoding; eventually some authoring also ? [11:59] @parapan Virtualbox maybe [11:59] <}[oo]{> has the "I'm booting from a partition that starts > 137GB into the disk and it fails" issue ever been solved? [11:59] virtualdub** [11:59] hi guys, need help with a bash script, i want to put a script on the desktop that would run a program located in /etc. i know nothing about bash, my guess first line is cd /etc/some/directory second line the name of the program , correct ? [11:59] DennisRas no need most of us even me thinks of how to make it better with out crapware and spyware ,viruses and and mostly is the os of portableity .... so if you have a flash drive run it off that .... Try that with winows...withOUt! Sweeping the os [12:00] auronandace, yea VM/Virtual Box is safer. I just love it. It's really funny to see windows run in it. (Runs a bit faster in it too). I remember google searching something, and someone complained about windows going TOO FAST, so I'm there giggling to myself "wow that's new, lol". [12:00] htlm: I didn't really understand some of that [12:01] @itai You might want to read up on bash first. But basically you'll need to do a CD into /etc/ and ./ [12:01] meh all I wanted to do was to upgrade my ubuntu :( [12:01] itai, could work, except if you want to execute a program at the current directory you usually need "./program" [12:01] DennisRas LOL right now if I were physically there I would take my flash drive.... U still with me ? And plug it in and put Linux on that [12:02] Question. I uninstalled the nautilus and then the installed again. Now Unity does not workand many problems came up.Does anyone Know whether if it is possible to correct the problems; [12:02] itai, and you usually only need to cd to the directory of the program, if the program itself is kinda stupid [12:02] DennisRas: i've never upgraded ubuntu, i've always fresh installed [12:02] auronandace: do you backup all your stuff externally then? [12:03] DennisRas: kept what i need on a seperate storage partition [12:03] DennisRas: and backup to an external harddrive yeah [12:03] im getting this message while trying to open the sound settings "waiting for soundsystem to respond". I cant change my volume. [12:04] problem is I don't have the luxury of doing that as I don't own anything but this laptop [12:04] DennisRas: i've seen a fair few people have issues with upgrades, a fresh install negates all that [12:04] DennisRas if you don't trust yourself then do this... Ive done this about 50 times already [12:04] DennisRas, backups are luxurious? [12:04] @itai: Where can be Any folder name. cd (lowercase letters, most commands and program names in linux are lowercase for a good reason). ./ or period-Forward-slash or "dot slash" means to "EXECUTE program" in the current directory you're reading. Example: ./firefox [12:04] rumpe1: having hardware available to do backups [12:05] DennisRas: you can't make an extra storage partition to keep your files on? [12:05] DennisRas, then you data isn't worth anything i guess :) [12:05] can i force apt-get to not remove a package that it wants to remove when I'm installing a new one? [12:05] auronandace Teresa you didn't get the unknown bugs === Guybrush_Threepw is now known as Guybrush88 [12:05] itai: To see a list of programs/folders/directorys, run this command in terminal: ls [12:05] Davst: be more specific [12:05] Ibis, rumpe1, Romoku i want to run a VPN, the line would look like sudo openvpn --config 15\ -\ trVPN\t.ovpn can i do it in bash? also what about sudo, how will i provide the password? [12:05] rumpe1: That makes sense but some of it is just temp anyway and I'm not worried about the current hardware crashing right now [12:06] auronandace: don't know how to [12:06] jrib: have a xbmc from the unstable ppa, when i try to install xbmc-send it says it also will remove xbmc [12:06] just want it to ignore removing xbmc [12:06] Davst: pastebin: apt-cache show xmbc xmbc-send [12:06] DennisRas: partitioning is a basic computer skill you need to learn [12:07] DennisRas, you could backup your data via email.. or use something like dropbox (within encrypted containers maybe). [12:07] DennisRas: gparted makes it rather easy [12:07] rumpe1: I know how to do backups [12:07] DennisRas: if you want to practice, get a vm and have a go [12:08] auronandace: How many people own a PC do you think? Can't expect everyone to know everything [12:08] itai: sudo means "super user do this" (Okay, I may be wrong but it helps me remember the purpose of the command). sudo makes your DO/run programs under a superUser named root, when you run sudo, it will immediately ask you for a password. So you'll know when to type it. When your type, you WILL NOT see asterisks **** things. Because it's not suppose to. It's a security feature. [12:08] jrib: http://pastie.org/2562625 [12:08] DennisRas drox box is good ...) [12:09] I'm not trying to make an issue out of everything, but I've actually never bothered tinkering with hardware or software on boot level [12:09] DennisRas: i don't mean to insult you, i'm just making sure you don't mess things up [12:09] Ibis, that not what I mean, I'm gonna put it in a script , i was wondering when/how i will provide the password when the script runs === gizem is now known as gizemb [12:09] DennisRas: the amount of people i've seen partitioning and not knowing what they are doing is frightening [12:09] itai, uh... there are several ways. When exactly should it be executed? [12:09] win size 70 [12:10] DennisRas: especially when they don't back-up [12:10] itai, automatically providing the password is usually a really bad idea. [12:10] htlm: I know what backups are and that I can just use a cloud service, but the real issue (to me) here is that all I've got is this laptop and nothing else. No disc, no flashdrive, no nothing. I can get some in a couple of days of course [12:11] Davst: look at the dependencies. I don't even see xbmc in normal ubuntu repository. Where does it come from? [12:11] auronandace, even better when they say they are the admin of some company they are working for :) [12:11] And when I don't know how to safely work with partitions, I could easily screw something up and be left with nothing [12:11] @DennisRas what version of windows are you running? [12:11] FOr people who has both a desktop and laptop. Why not use your laptop as desktop with a monitor? [12:11] rumpel the idea is to have the script on the desktop and click on it whenever i want to connect to the VPN, hopefully the script will contain my user name and password for the VPN . [12:11] DennisRas, in this case i really wouldn't change anything important on the system. [12:11] ujjain: #ubuntu-offtopic for that please [12:11] Hi, can anyone give me an active respository for UBuntu 9.04 Jaunty. I am its EOL and not supported anymore. Thansk [12:11] zHammeRz: funny yes, inspires you with confidence: not so much [12:11] jrib: team-xbmc ppa.. its a media center for linux [12:12] itai, I learned when I wanted to make a script that does that... You just really cant do it. It's a security feature. As a typical linux user, it is /NOT/ not nOt a good idea to put a password in a script unless specifically told to do so from a TRUSTED source (Example being Apache, MySQL). I wanted to do this before but I read something that you would have to change the way to authencate yourself (or make it so you do not ne [12:12] ujjain, I use a desktop for gaming, processing audio etc. You can get more power for less money with a desktop and it'll last longer too. [12:12] DennisRas: thats why i recomend using a vm [12:12] DennisRas: safe and easy environment to practice in [12:12] auronandace, I like it when noobs break stuff at corporations...makes me a LOT of money to fix/restore .. or a short term contract when they get fired until a replacement is hired [12:12] DennisRas, even the next update could render your laptop useless [12:12] rumpe1: yup I know [12:13] If DennisRas is using windows 7 he could create a system image to burn to a CD [12:13] <}[oo]{> hmmm. [12:13] I just like to keep things updated. There's usually a good reason that software gets updated in the first place [12:13] But I wasn't here for the entire convorsation. [12:13] conversation** [12:13] <}[oo]{> jesus. [12:14] Davst: does the place you are getting xbmc-send to not have its own version of xbmc? [12:14] Ibis, ok how about a script that would cd to the directory, run the program and open a terminal for me to input the credentials? [12:14] MrPopinjay: right, fair point :) I just wonder if I should even get a seperate for both, but gaming is a fair point. [12:15] itai: This is what I meant http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1510272 "Edit the /etc/sudoers file so that you can run that script without providing a password. For example ..." [12:15] itai, that is what you CAN do. === compengi` is now known as compengi [12:15] itai, are you using gnome? [12:16] Ibis, yes [12:16] ujjain, If I didn't do those things and I didn't get backache from hunching over a laptop all the time I'd certainly just spend the money on a slightly more powerful laptop, that's for sure. [12:16] itai, hang on, I will make an example. [12:17] Ibis, thanks [12:17] MrPopinjay, don't hunch, and excercise atleast an hour per day [12:17] itai, the problem with the sudoers-file is, that minor errors can deactivate the whole sudo-command. Be careful or use "visudo". [12:18] Anyone use a multi-gp setup? [12:18] multi-gpu* [12:18] pamwe_chete, I'm currently without a desk until I move back to brighton but once I'm set up I should be fine :) [12:18] rumpe1, i guess that if the script would result in a terminal window coming asking me for a password then its ok [12:19] itai, http://pastebin.com/4F3wCvTV <--- try that script. BE SURe to give that file permission to execute. (just to the owner, IF applicable) [12:19] can anyone help me regarding connecting the vodafone data card in ubuntu ??? [12:19] jrib: think i figured it out [12:20] Ibis, thanks, i will try , can i get back to you later > [12:20] > [12:20] itai What it does is cd to /etc/ and then opens up a GTK sudo-password box to run a program called GEDIT to edit a file named host that's inside the /etc/ directory folder. [12:20] itai, longstroy short, it's to edit host in /etc/ (please DO NOT make any changes to that file. that's just an example).

[12:29] unk: why do you want to? [12:30] I though it was problem that i splited it in ubuntu ... [12:30] jrib: i want to try to use vlc while i m log in as root [12:30] log in as root? [12:30] unk: yes, you asked that. But that's not a good idea. So why would you want to do that? [12:31] jrib: i just wna try is there any possibility. I know it's meaning less but i wana give a try? [12:32] unk: yes, it's possible. But there's no good reason to do it. [12:32] unk: methinks you won't find advice or support for root here [12:33] MonkeyDust: then where?? [12:33] unk: no idea [12:33] MonkeyDust: okk [12:33] unk: why don't you tell us the reason you want to do this? We can likely tell you a better way. [12:34] jrib: there is no particular reason. i just want to find out why vlc is not allowing root user. Can't root listen the music ?? lol [12:35] unk: why are you even trying. There's no reason to ever want to do that [12:35] jrib: okk [12:35] unk: actually, there isn't even supposed to be a root user. [12:36] th0r: thats incorrect. [12:36] th0r: root exists, its account is just locked. [12:36] th0r: its just disabled [12:36] MonkeyDust: this is regarding alsamixer. do i have to go to terminal every time to decrease or increase the volume ?? [12:36] disabled/locked.

Yes it's very possible to use vlc as root. But it's not all too special, I mean it'll appear the same exact way as though you were just opening vlc yourself. [12:40] paul68: ok [12:41] Ibis: but when i just type vlc is says 'VLC is not supposed to be run as root. Sorry. [12:41] If you need to use real-time priorities and/or privileged TCP ports [12:41] you can use vlc-wrapper (make sure it is Set-UID root and [12:41] cannot be run by non-trusted users first).' [12:42] unk: root is for advanced users, who know what they are doing and why [12:42] Ibis: then wat to do ?. Previously in 8.04 this problem was not there? [12:42] true, no need to run VLC as root [12:43] MonkeyDust: ya true [12:49] MonkeyDust: i know these software like vlc , chrome uses some kind of sandbox (security) thats y they dont allow root user to use it? can u say something regarding this [12:49] If i make my laptop wireless access point, using ubuntu and hosdapd, can i use internet on them after setup?

My wild guess, is that you are using ATI. [13:35] jrib, okay thank you jrib... i hope that tracker works well with 10.04 [13:36] @Guest76352 have you tried memtest and checked the disk for defects? [13:36] I've created a bash script and set a shortcut to execute it. It worked last night and rebooting today it stopped working.

[13:53] nmvictor: then, you have to extract and repack it manually...

[14:03] Paladinlaw: right the syntax is "rename perlexpr files", so you have two tasks. One is easy: How do I have it work on all files? For this you have to understand basic globbing. The second question: How do I write an expression that inserts something at the beginning. Which one do you want to answer first?

[14:16] Paladinlaw: ok.

But what we care about is that they do the something we want to do :P Remember, the reason your files did not actually change is because of the '-n'. If you were to not include it, then the program would actually rename things instead of just telling you what it would do. Can you figure out how to change 'abc' to 'xyz' in all the files?

Solution: Try converting the image to ISO or extract the content to a folder from the upper menu "Image Conversion." NOTE: it is NOT possible to mount multi-sector images. What do be done? [14:46] m6locks, do I from ubuntu desktop only put the private key there? or also the public? and do I name it ssh_host_rsa_key ? [14:47] jrib: back [14:47] Paladinlaw: exactly. Now this part after the 's/' and before the second '/' can be a regular expression. That's basically like a glob but more powerful. Keep that in mind. Now that we understand how to do basic search and replace, can you repeat what you want to search and replace?

[14:49] zastaph: you might need to convert it first [14:49] Paladinlaw: yes, and if I insisted you fill in the blanks? Could you say what you want in some way? [14:49] you have to mount it [14:49] jrib: *.mp3 with hi-*.mp3?

[14:50] rabbi1: what it is in iso [14:51] using zenmap [14:51] unk: 2 mins, brb [14:51] Paladinlaw: yes, that is one way. I was looking for "beginning of filename" with "hi-". At this point, you should ask "but how do I specify the beginning of the file"? And I would point you to http://www.regular-expressions.info/ where you would learn all about regular expressions, come back, and tell me that '^' is a special character that signifies the beginning of line/filename/whatever. So we want to [14:51] replace '^' with 'hi-'. How would you do that? [14:51] nmvictor: generally, you don't. you usually have to access the bios settings to find out the version [14:51] daffy_ a few other thing else [14:52] jrib: wait wait... [14:52] Paladinlaw: ok [14:52] unk: ajax files [14:52] jrib: the filenames doesnt start with hi- now.. [14:52] Paladinlaw: correct [14:52] I have a computer problem, The tower will turn on for 5 seconds thenturn off, never reaching the bios, repeat [14:52] jrib: ok continue :D [14:52] rabbi1: how do you come to know that [14:53] daffy_: Thats not really on-topic for an Ubuntu channel. ##hardware would be a better place to ask. [14:53] installed xorg on a clean server install, gives me an error: Failed to load module "fglrx", radeon drivers are installed [14:53] Paladinlaw: is it fair to say that you want to replace the beginning of the filename with "hi-"? [14:53] my friend gave me in .iso, he has this ajax collection of books and codes [14:53] jrib: hmm kinda [14:53] jrib: dont want to replace anything just add :D [14:53] zastaph: this might help http://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/cscf/howto/ssh/public_key/ [14:53] :-D [14:54] subterfuge: I used the imap settings that were in that link and now my evolution sends as well as receives [14:54] daffy_ can u boot into a live CD ? [14:54] Paladinlaw: now, I am telling you that '^' will match the beginning of the filename. You can think for example if you have the file "paladin.mp3", it looks like "^paladin.mp3" and you want to replace '^' with 'hi-'. How would you replace '^' with 'hi-'? [14:55] Could someone tell me the brand and model of a Wifi Key via the USB port that would be the best - but not pricey - for my Ubuntu 11.04, 64 bit and would be just as good for 11.10 [14:55] ? [14:55] macer1: I have tried and its not working, [14:55] Paladinlaw: this is like replacing 'abc' with 'xyz' but with different phrases [14:56] jrib: rename -n 's/^*.mp3/hi-*.mp3/' .mp3 ? [14:56] Paladinlaw: we said nothing of '*.mp3', only '^' [14:56] Hello everyone... [14:56] hi! [14:56] jrib: wont it replace text if i dont specify * [14:56] Paladinlaw: we can try and see :D [14:56] i installed ubuntu in windows and now windows got corrupted [14:57] jrib haha [14:57] jrib: rename -n 's/^.mp3/hi-.mp3/' .mp3 ? [14:57] anyway to remove windows and make ubuntu the primary OS? [14:57] Paladinlaw: remember the -n will let you experiment without worry of doing anything bad to your files. We also said nothing of '.mp3', only '^' [14:57] sk8ers: sure, just repartition [14:58] but windows was my primary OS? [14:58] jrib: rename -n 's/^/hi-/' .mp3? [14:58] sk8ers: make sure you definitely want to get rid of windows though [14:58] and i installed Ubuntu as a programme inside it!! [14:58] unk: this is the error "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so" [14:58] jrib: nope dont work :D [14:58] jrib: this is hard [14:58] sk8ers: then install ubuntu properly [14:59] then i'll loose both OS and the files in it na?? [14:59] Paladinlaw: very close, but remember the last argument we give (which currently you have as ".mp3") needs to specify all the files we want "rename" to work on. We don't want it to work on the ".mp3" file, we want it to work on all files that end in .mp3. So we should do: rename -n 's/^/hi-/' *.mp3 . What happens when you try this? [14:59] sk8ers: backup what you want to keep [14:59] rabbi1: what is the name of the iso full tell me with full extention. [14:59] "Ajax Book Collection" [14:59] quick question about conky: are the wireless variables available right off the bat or do we need to rebuild conky first(ubuntu 11.04 conky installed from repos) [14:59] jrib: wow nice [15:00] sk8ers: YOu could add another HD and install Ubuntu on that new HD. (That's the way I like to do it.) [15:00] unk: now its ABC.iso i renamed while attempting to mount [15:00] What is the best choice in wifi in USB?

[15:01] Paladinlaw: you can read more about regular expressions at http://www.regular-expressions.info/ (remember that's the part that goes between the first two slashes). A lot of characters have special meanings (like the '^' means the beginning). Some of those characters with special meanings are the '.' and the '*'. They mean new things in the regular expression context (as opposed to globbing). So the [15:01] examples you were giving with *.mp3 would not work exactly. [15:01] jrib: what does s/ do? [15:01] dangit i accidentally installed Java on my desktop. is there a way to delete the installation off my desktop so i can start over? [15:01] macer1: please, do i put my kernel params after or before the - - lines? [15:01] macer1: please, do i put my kernel params after or before the -- lines? [15:02] anybody know much about conky ? [15:02] Paladinlaw: s/regularexpression/replacement/ means match the regular expression and SUBSTITUTE it with the replacement [15:02] usr13: I have a desktop and an EEE PC. I'm talking about the desktop, as I plan on forgetting wired connection - it costs too much where I live. [15:02] usr13: And using the unprotected wifi in the area where I live [15:03] if i just delete the folder will it go away? or do i need to do a proper uninstall somehow? [15:03] rabbi1: just go to terminal and use command [15:03] usr13: Besides, the EEE has problems [15:03] debsums is reporting no md5sums for a bunch of packages. Is this normal? Do some packages just not ship with md5sums? [15:03] Paladinlaw: often you will notice people in this channel fix their typos in this way. Example to follow... [15:03] Paladinlaw: you're a col guy [15:03] unk: this is the error from the terminal "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so" [15:03] Paladinlaw: s/col/cool/ [15:03] !uninstall | Jeremy3D [15:03] Jeremy3D: To learn how to uninstall applications in Ubuntu - please visit http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-delete-remove-software-using-apt-get-command/ [15:04] rabbi1:apt-get install furiusisomount [15:04] jrib: so its the command that replaces? [15:04] rabbi1:this app will automount the image whether it is in ISO or any other format [15:04] Paladinlaw: basically, yes [15:04] unk: currently using "AcetineISO" would you like me to install that as well ?

[15:05] sburwood1: Why not use a PCI or PCIE wifi device. (USB is not as good.) [15:05] I can only see the purple light background, nothing else. [15:05] apt-get install samba doesn't bring an /etc/samba/smb.conf file with it? [15:06] !gnome3 | Guest31038 [15:06] Guest31038: 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. [15:06] jrib: rm -n 's/-()/' *.mp3 if i write that what happends? [15:06] sburwood1: To tell the truth, I've not used any of the USB devices.... [15:06] usr13: Ok, I'm game, but what kind would work the best? I bought a D-Link Wifi key (USB), but it doesn't work [15:06] Regarding no md5sums, googling around, it looks like it's pretty standard. http://lists.debian.org/debian-security/2007/10/msg00025.html [15:06] I have ubuntu desktop on my htpc.. I have the netbook remix ui installed.. but all text and stuff is still tiny to read from the couch.. are there any appearance themes made for htpcs? [15:06] Paladinlaw: probably a syntax error [15:07] jrib: hmm [15:07] usr13: direct me towards something that is good but NOT expensive [15:07] auronandace, gee, I thougth that's gnome3. Well Unity then. [15:07] sburwood1: If you bought it on eBay, just sell it again and buy another. [15:07] Paladinlaw: why did you write "rm" instead of "rename"? [15:07] jrib: if i want to remove all files that ends with ().mp3 [15:07] I got it from Pixmania [15:07] sburwood1: PCI or PCIE ? === Guest31038 is now known as Ibis [15:07] I don't know [15:07] Guest31038: i didn't think unity was available for 10.04 [15:07] Davst: increase the font size or lower the resolution [15:07] Anyone running compiz 0.9.5+ on natty ? [15:07] usr13: hold on, I don't know if I have PCI-E [15:07] Paladinlaw: use rm -rf *.mp3 [15:08] MCR1: sounds bleeding edge , i like to stay with the stable stuff [15:08] MCR1: you'll find %99.9 are running the ubuntu official packaged version [15:08] auronandace: But it has that new interface thing that is completely different from Ubuntu Classic. [15:08] usr13: I bought the quad core 2.4G computer on e-bay [15:08] unk: not all files.. only those with *().mp3 [15:08] auronandace, Oh snaps, I meant 11.04 [15:08] -.- [15:08] MCR1: does it feel faster? unity in REALLY slow [15:08] sburwood1: Look inside and see what kind of available shots it has. (The long ones or short ones.) [15:09] Paladinlaw: for example like abc().mp3 ?? [15:09] usr13: It's inside the desk slot. Is there a command line thing to tell me what I have? [15:09] tomodachi: I have trouble installing 0.9.5 - 0.9.4 runs here, but is sometimes buggy, especially with some plugin combis... [15:09] Paladinlaw: for this you should just use regular globs. Try: ls *'().mp3' [15:09] late upgrade to 11.04 but whats with the unity thing? My workstation at work suddenly became a giant tablet with a keyboard and mouse. [15:10] but generally 0.9.4 runs very smooth... [15:10] jrib: cool worsk [15:10] bytesaber_work: feel free not to use unity [15:10] Paladinlaw: or you can use rm *\().mp3 [15:10] jrib: works* [15:10] bytesaber_work: i usually stick to xfce [15:10] bytesaber_work, I do not like it either. You do not have to use it though [15:10] auronandace, i changed it to gnome. just wonder. what's the reason for defaulting to unity. it's a very non ubuntu-ish thing to do. [15:11] jrib: rm *'().mp3' works? [15:11] Paladinlaw: should [15:11] sometimes the window manager needs to be reloaded and all window decos disappear for example (Emerald) [15:11] bytesaber_work, but be warned. 11.10 is going to be either gnome 3 or unity and gnome 3 is not much better [15:11] In Ubuntu 11.04, I can only see the light purple background and nothing else. [15:11] no trying to troll, just asking what is ubuntu upto. [15:11] Krawnsbie, hmmmmm [15:11] How do I find out the temperature in my computer tower? [15:11] jrib: linux is kinda cool :D [15:11] bytesaber_work: thats the way canonical wants it (they don't agree with the direction gnome3 is going in) [15:11] bytesaber_work: they have greated a new shell for gnome, it is default in their OS [15:11] Paladinlaw: :) [15:11] bytesaber_work, up to no good. Muahahahaa. [15:11] bytesaber_work: nothing more [15:12] usr13: in "System Profiler and Benchmark", it seems to say that I have PCIE, but is there a benefit between PCI and PCIE? [15:12] odd. oh well. [15:12] quit [15:12] guess us PC old farts are being phased out and will have to fend for ourselves [15:12] I need a wifi usb card that works with ubuntu. My dwa130 is such a pain. Anyone have a good usb recommendation? [15:12] bytesaber_work: what are you on about at all ?

[15:13] sburwood1, what is the problem? [15:13] jaycar - digitech high-power wireless-n usb adapter [15:13] Krawnsbie: usr13 said that he/she doesn't use USB [15:13] ikonia, just found it odd that the default changed to a big tablety interface. [15:13] jrib: while your in a helping streak do you know anything about "waiting for soundsystem to respond" problem?

[15:15] sburwood1: Dont think so, i also used thunar with superuser premission [15:15] sburwood1, I got my dwa130 to work with ndiswrapper after a long time of just fiddling with it but now i upgraded to 11.10 and ndiswrapper just does not seem to work [15:15] rabbi1: try any other ISO file and check whether it is working in your system or not [15:15] !11.10 | Krawnsbie [15:16] Krawnsbie: Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) will be the fifteenth release of Ubuntu.

[15:22] jrib: btw changed my comp name for safety reasons [15:22] Paladinlaw: how did you do that? [15:23] ikonia, therefore I can't access the .epub file, and can't put it in calibre for transfer [15:23] bagels: I'm aware of that process, however I'm not surprised it doesn't work in wine, try #winehq channel [15:23] jrib: instead of comp name i wrote paladinlaw [15:23] Paladinlaw: where?

[16:15] TheKirbStomp: python... #python for more info [16:15] it's kind of useful in combination with html, you know [16:15] anandvenkat4, linux has a bunch of libraries, for almost everything, including pptp, just google for pptp linux library api. [16:15] TheKirbStomp: python, perl, C, C++, java pick what you like [16:15] Depends what you want to do realy [16:15] but if you don't care about that, python is a good choice indeed [16:15] anandvenkat4, openvpn should help narrow a search. [16:16] All: [16:16] i disagree with python. I suggest c++. Java or c# [16:17] really, now [16:17] and why is that? [16:18] Thanks! That was much easier than I thought it would be. I am trying to get into some software design. I figure once I can afford it i will go to college for it but for now I'd let to get started with some learning on my own. [16:18] widely used, proper OO languages. [16:18] TheKirbStomp: learn c [16:18] http://pastebin.com/UKATkM0F When I restart Ubuntu, it mounts read-only. I can remount rw by doing "mount -o remount rw /" but I can't restart. Since it is read-only, nothing is logging during that time.

[16:20] dv310p3r: try dd [16:20] I do know a little Javascript. [16:21] dv310p3r, "dd" would do that... but it would also copy the "empty" space as data. [16:21] How can I tell the command that's actually being called by Unity to launch an app? I used to be able to right click the menu and click "Edit Menu" to see. [16:21] I think I'll start with C. Thanks again everyone. [16:21] dv310p3r, but maybe this is what you mean with "exactly as it is" ;) [16:22] TheKirbStomp: I'd suggest you at least look at some higher level language as well and then decide.

[17:06] SD Card [17:07] hello , can someone recommend a boot disk image to flash bios? i already have bios and program, thanks [17:07] User:.use your backups [17:07] user: try testdisk / photorec [17:08] nuclearworm: www.bootdisk.com [17:08] stillParsnip: Seems like I am recovering some spaec. [17:08] * Shikhin crosses fingers. [17:08] stillParsnip: that did it. Funny though, there is a call in .profile to call .bashrc. Would think .profile was called first. Thanks for the input [17:08] I experience memory leaks in my natty when it is up too long. Is there any way to find out what application cause them? [17:08] stillParnsnip , i ve been there but dont know which one to choose [17:09] User: i guess you don't have backups, so foremost may save you but the files you retrieve may be damaged [17:09] Hi. I have a jack headset, which doesn't work in natty. I have two outlets, one in the front and one in the back of the machine. The one in the back works for my speakers, but the front for my headphones don't work in natty [17:09] watermark: what did you add to add the folder to path? [17:10] i'm my phone so i don't keep backups of the SD in that [17:10] stillParsnip: Copied from the line above that came with it. PATH="$HOME/workspace/cakeportal1.3/cake/console:$PATH" [17:10] stillParnsnip , i have a image with 1.4mb do you think it has enough free space to put bios and program? [17:11] watermark: its usually: export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/folder [17:12] watermark: i'd do it without quotes and escape the fullstop [17:13] User: you should backup everything you don't want to loose.

I encrypted my home directory, generated the passphrase, and rebooted before I saved it (d'oh!), is there any way of re-generating that passphrase again? [17:15] stillparsnip: yes, thank you. but pics i didn't see as a high risk on phone. but i was wrong. i now have ubuntu one uploading pics when i take them. so i have resolved issue. [17:15] * Shikhin is going to restart - hopes this works - and didn't break anything. :-) [17:16] meowsus: if its a fresh install, you can always reinstall if you get no joy [17:16] stillParsnip, yeah, i know, but theres no way to regenerate that passphrase? [17:16] User: nice :-) [17:17] hi there. does anyone knows how can i two directories in my lan without redownloading the ones that are already on a given location ? [17:17] wela raga [17:17] =) [17:17] meowsus: i dont use encrypted filesystems myself, causes too many headaches. I also walk around with my systems [17:18] caotic: look into rsync maybe [17:18] how do i create a bootable floppy with bios and writing program? [17:19] bonjour [17:19] nuclearworm: you can dd the image to the floppy disk in most cases [17:21] stillParnsnip , i still haven t the image caan you tell me one to choose [17:21] stillParsnip, I getcha, I'll just reinstall, [17:21] I have a problem: gnome tries to automount an sshfs folder at login, the mount parameters are old and don't work, so it blocks me from logging in. [17:21] how do I fix it? [17:22] como: What is a sshfs folder? [17:22] Just wondering if anyone knew of a good how-to to get dual monitors working? I have an on-board video card (ATI) and a PCI-E Ati card as well, trying to dual monitors, but not sure how to go about it [17:23] usr13: you know, sshfs remote-dir local-dir [17:23] como: And I didn't know that gnome would try to mount anything in the first place. YOu need to give a bit more detail. [17:23] como: Do you mean nfs ? [17:23] usr13: then you probably won't know how to fix it [17:23] usr13: no, sshfs [17:23] sorry [17:24] <^NiNjA> vock, are you trying to use both video cards for two separate monitors? [17:24] What is the preferred way to report bugs? How does one determine if it is a Ubuntu, Debian or upstream bug? [17:24] ^NiNjA, I was under the impression that i could use one vid card for 1 monitor [17:24] i have a boot disk image how do i add it the bios and writing program? [17:25] and the other for a second monitor [17:25] kdog: run "ubuntu-bug package-name-here", we usually have people file them in Launchpad unless they're sure it's not an Ubuntu bug. [17:25] !bug [17:25] 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. [17:25] como: Maybe you should use nfs instead of sshfs [17:25] <^NiNjA> vock, so you want one video card for one monitor and the other for another monitor [17:25] rww, thanks. Will ubuntu-bug walk you through like reportbug? [17:25] ^NiNjA, yup! [17:26] kdog: it gathers together a bunch of information with apport, has you confirm it, then connects you to Launchpad that walks you through it, yes [17:26] como: Is this a wired network? [17:26] ^NiNjA, I just want dual monitors, don't care how it's done really, i was under the impression you needed 2 video cards to do it [17:27] <^NiNjA> vock, ok I am no expert with SLI or Crossfire. But I ma not sure if you can actually do that. I would start by trying the ATI help or tech support first that way you know if it even can be done before trying the linux applications of it [17:28] ^NiNjA, i didn't think SLI or Crossfire was required? What is the best way to get dual monitors then? 2 off the same card? [17:28] <^NiNjA> vock, for just dual monitor support, you do that through the system settings/monitors settings [17:28] ^NiNjA, so both monitors plugged into a single vid card? [17:29] <^NiNjA> vock, to get both video cards working at the same time is Crossfire for ATI [17:29] como: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8904?page=0,1 [17:29] <^NiNjA> vock, if your video card has two connections with dual heads you can connect two monitors to one card [17:30] <^NiNjA> like mine has my monitor and my tv hooked up [17:30] <^NiNjA> one through DVI the other through HDMI [17:30] hi [17:31] <^NiNjA> i control each monitor through the monitors app in system settings in ubuntu 11.04 (my version) [17:31] is it possible to enable xdmcp in natty? I've tried gooling but all i found where tutorials for using vnc or nx which seems to be a big overhead for what i want to do... [17:32] ^NiNjA, thanks [17:32] <^NiNjA> personally I have two many crashes using the proprietary ATI drivers so i tend to stick with the open source drivers that come with Ubuntu. NP [17:32] I've got a really annoying problem with gnome-terminal, the scrollback buffer stays blank and even some parts of the normal buffer, any idea? [17:34] hi guys, i have one netbook school, LCD 7", video intel 945GM, please howto set splash 800x480? [17:35] <^NiNjA> anyone had any luck with the LDM in the repos for 11.04? specifically with ATI video and 3d enabled? [17:35] hi all, my kubuntu system is not shutting down. any suggestions ? [17:36] <^NiNjA> jamil_1, [17:36] <^NiNjA> whats it doing exactly? [17:36] ^NiNjA: its doing nothing [17:36] jamil_1, first, i update system [17:37] <^NiNjA> lol, i mean does the shut down,reboot, et. all interface show up or what? [17:37] slipttees: my pc is pretty much updated [17:37] ^NiNjA: yes the interface show up, but clicking on an of them doesn't have any apparent effect [17:37] *any [17:38] <^NiNjA> ok is there anything running in either the taskbar or system tray? [17:38] <^NiNjA> or even an open terminal running a process? [17:38] i would appreciate some help in how to create a bootable floppy to upgrade bios [17:39] ^NiNjA: printer applet, Nepmunk, and AkonadiTray are running [17:39] !ops [17:39] Help!

[17:41] nuclearworm as far as i know you may only be able to do that in windows unless your bios manufacturer provided linux files to create or run a bios update. this isn't anything ubuntu/linux has control over sadly [17:41] I just typed in a new login password but it stays greyed out and doesn't finish changin it, and I cannot cancel it, what should I do? [17:41] <^NiNjA> once that is open click on the processes tab at the top [17:41] ^NiNjA: ok... [17:42] ^NiNjA: now what ? [17:42] <^NiNjA> now click on the status column so the little arrow next to is pointing up [17:43] idlemind , im trying to follow a mix of two tutorials i ve found in the net but unfortunately i dont have the knowledge enough i suppose [17:43] <^NiNjA> the very first ones in order now should be saying something like running or sleeping or zombie [17:43] ^NiNjA: there is no status column [17:44] I have a partially downloaded (via torrent) iso. I know that the checksum is not right. Is there a way to incrementally download the file? [17:44] nuclearworm link me those tutorials i would like to look them over. a bios update is vendor specific (hp,dell, or mobo manufacturer) so it should be an interesting trick if someone has a workaround [17:44] <^NiNjA> u are running system monitor and open to the processes tab at the top?

[17:48] idlemind , im trying to apply it to a floppy drive [17:48] <^NiNjA> anyhoo look through there and see what may be stuck, frozen or running , should be fairly straight forward anything hogging cpu or memory [17:48] If I'm going to back up my home directory, do I need ~/.cache at all? There are two huge files in there (.fr-4aHSee & .fr-01qx24) and some other, what i presume to be, temp data directories. [17:50] nuclearworm what commands in that first tutorial are giving you trouble? [17:50] AlanBell: ping [17:50] idlemind , the unmounting one , im not able to see the created directory [17:51] I NEED HELP [17:51] nuclearworm is the device still mounted? run just "mount" and look for /tmp/floppy in that list [17:51] !caps | Nenel [17:51] Nenel: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [17:52] !details | Nenel [17:52] Nenel: 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 ..." [17:52] also nuclearworm can you copy and paste the exact error the umount command gives you? [17:52] i need pakages from mpeg and xvid for audio and video [17:53] Nenel "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" covers that I believe [17:53] or pull up the software center and search for restricted extras in there [17:54] I think I got the package name right though [17:54] idlemind , i havent explained me well, after unmounting i couldn t see /tmp/floppy anymore so ive runned the first command again maybe i shouldn t have done that [17:54] o that is a natural side effect of umounting /tmp/floppy [17:54] when you issue that umount command it is going to save the changes back into that fdoem.144 file [17:54] so now you need to either write fdoem.144 to a cd or a floppy [17:55] my guess for a floppy you would do: dd if=/path/to/FDOEM.144.gz of=/dev/fd0 [17:55] i cant do with sudo because its tell me is not fiind [17:56] hi. I am getting BADSIG with extras.ubuntu.com and when I try to connect to the keyserver it times out. How should I fix this? [17:56] idlemind , so is the fdoem.144 changed , i mean does it have the added files? [17:57] yes if you issued the copy commands to put the files you need into the image [17:57] prior to umount'ing the virtual device [17:57] from where i can get pakages for audio and video please [17:57] Nenel did you try searching for it in the Software Center?

[18:14] ^NiNjA Ext4 can be read or written on all OSes and has no file size limit?

You can get tools to read ext4 though [18:15] You can? I think there are only for Ext2 [18:16] no they read ext4 too :) [18:16] <^NiNjA> Polah, yeah i think he was wanting read/write access to mac from his linux part [18:17] <^NiNjA> he was worried about password and permissions across both partitions [18:18] Linux can read/write HFS+, but you need to disable journaling.

I would try your HD manufacturers tech support or help. here we focus primarily on Ubuntu specific issues [18:24] when I run apache2 -S (in place of httpd -S), I get this -> apache2: bad user name ${APACHE_RUN_USER} [18:24] any suggestions on how to get that to work?

[18:24] ^NiNjA, only have to wait a month for 11.10 (: [18:24] so that value definitely means my HDD is dying? [18:24] <^NiNjA> true, not sure i will upgrade tho.. I hate unity.. sorry but I just do [18:25] w3bg33k, check the value of APACHE_RUN_USER in /etc/apache2/envvars [18:26] <^NiNjA> I run classic mode right now. I tweak it so you can barely tell its gnome [18:26] glebihan - www-data [18:26] ^NiNjA: You can use any environment you want with 11.10 too.. [18:27] <^NiNjA> I thought in 11.10 you had unity, unity 2d, or Gnome 3/shell you can get from the repos? [18:27] w3bg33k, does the user www-data exist ? (maybe it was deleted by mistake) [18:28] glebihan - yes [18:28] ^NiNjA: By default yeah, but you can switch to any DE you want... The same way you used to have GNOME by default or in some other types of Linux other DEs by default. [18:28] it's also part of the www-data group [18:29] <^NiNjA> yeah but gnome isn't supporting 2x anymore so its either 3 or unity soon [18:29] w3bg33k, the problem may come from the way you're starting apache, does "sudo service apache2 start" work ? [18:29] ^NiNjA: Unity, or GNOME3, LXDE, Xfce or anything esle you want. There's lots of DEs [18:30] <^NiNjA> hopefully they allow more settings and tweaking in unity or gnome 3 soon [18:30] glebihan - yup, works (with just 1 NameVirtualHost warning, that's unrelated to this site) [18:31] <^NiNjA> i am just old set in my ways i guess lol [18:31] hi [18:31] w3bg33k, ok so that was it, apache must be started that way for the environement variables to be correctly set [18:31] <^NiNjA> LXDE looks interesting but i hate learning a new DE..part of that old thing lol [18:32] is it okay to just ask a question in here? :) [18:32] I'm connecting to a Ubuntu 10.04 server from OS X Lion over SSH, but the connection is really laggy - it takes up to two seconds for characters to appear after I've typed them on my local machine.

[18:32] <^NiNjA> ask away [18:32] ThomaZz: that's how it works [18:32] glebihan - wait...apache2 worked, but the site still doesn't [18:33] w3bg33k, what happens when you try to access it ? [18:33] well, I just installed Xubuntu and sometimes I get a seemingly random error message saying "invalid argument, wrong operation" [18:34] it usually happens when I'm browsing through my home folder [18:34] does anyone know whether this is a common thing and where it comes from? [18:34] ^NiNjA Ok i gave permissions to ceratain users on my mac than plugged the drive in ubuntu computer and the permissions i set are not there [18:34] <^NiNjA> sounds like a file permissions issue. where you trying to copy or move something from there? [18:34] glebihan - I get a directory listing when I can verify that there are files in the directory specified [18:35] mmh perhaps accidentally.. [18:35] ^NiNjA ubuntu permissions just shows roor and 80 [18:35] i am not used to the tapping, which I can't seem to turn off in xubuntu [18:35] w3bg33k, and you don't see the files in the directory in the listing ? [18:35] ^NiNjA root and 80. it does not show the user i added [18:35] it does cause me to do stuff i did not intend to do [18:36] <^NiNjA> CosmicVoyager, linux will work independently of mac users [18:36] I'll pay close attention, thanks! [18:36] glebihan - nix it...it appears that one of the site's configured weren't config'd properly. I just deleted everything else out (last resort), and restarted and it work [18:36] glebihan - thank you for your time & help [18:36] <^NiNjA> like mine allows me access to my entire win 7 hard drive [18:36] ^NiNjA it wont let me write on the disk [18:36] <^NiNjA> from within linux [18:37] <^NiNjA> thats a new one for me.. Maybe its a mac specific thing [18:37] w3bg33k, you're welcome [18:37] thanks, ^NiNja [18:37] <^NiNjA> since mac doesnt recognize linux it wont accept permissions from linux [18:37] <^NiNjA> np ThomaZz [18:38] hi every body [18:39] Does anyone know why I have a bunch of [HASH].14.0.797.0_service_ipc files in my home directory? [18:39] They're really annoying me. [18:39] Hi artzra, how we can help you? [18:39] I'd like to remove them, if I can. [18:39] <^NiNjA> any file writing you do to mac will have to be from mac or linux. unless you are running specific security features in mac which block that [18:39] is there any directive to add passwords to ~/.ssh/config ? Can add User Port etc but is there a password directive ? I do not wish to ssh-copy-id. [18:40] ;qcerlm , marcel, i have o problem to fixe my language setup (keybord and system) don't applie [18:40] ^NiNjA, Chaser, are you talking to me? [18:40] <^NiNjA> CosmicVoyager, sorry im not more adept with mac. [18:40] does anyone know what firefox uses to generate it's list of application extension to applications map? [18:40] BPower, not specifically - was a general question.:) [18:40] ^NiNjA ok i read i have to turn off journaling...buthat is not an otpin [18:40] <^NiNjA> sorry BPower [18:40] marce1, i have o problem to fixe my language setup (keybord and system) don't applie [18:41] <^NiNjA> hmmm [18:41] because with a blank profile, firefox seems to think I have an installation of acroread in my home directory that isn't there [18:41] which means that firefox is getting it's information from somewhere else.. possibly gnome? [18:41] Chaser, oh sorry, I thought it was a follow up question for my question -- I didn't read your whole message [18:41] <^NiNjA> well CosmicVoyager im about to the limit of my mac/linux interaction knowledge.. sorry. [18:41] BPower, no problem. === wilk is now known as Evil [18:42] Chaser, wish I could help though -- I'm not familiar enough with it though === BPower is now known as Good === Evil is now known as Guest45567 [18:42] <^NiNjA> does your mac partition show up in your my computer window on the left? === Good is now known as BPower === Guest45567 is now known as wilk [18:42] does ubuntu work well with SSD drives? [18:43] BPower, cool thats ok. I did google for it but thought somebody here might know. [18:43] it would be nice if ubuntu provided 'rsync' servers to rsync from. [18:43] Hey, can anyone help answer my question on askubuntu.com, it's been 2 hours and noone's replied: http://askubuntu.com/questions/62295/ata2-comreset-failed-errno-16 [18:43] marce1, i have ubuntu 11.04 , all setup is realy fine, except language, systeme desktop, and keybord, ( i select my language, set , and when i reboot, its make nothing) [18:44] warfaren, I don't see why not. though, I'm not the best to ask. I was thinking about replacing my laptop HDD w/ an SSD so I'd like to know the answer to that too. [18:44] <^NiNjA> CosmicVoyager, does your mac partition or drive show in the left pane of your computer window? [18:44] anyway, i just finished wasting 690 MB of an ubuntu mirror's bandwidth (just because I have a partial/corrupt ISO file (perhaps, only 3 MB was missing)) [18:44] ^NiNjA yes [18:45] alright, i was mainly thinking if it had been specifically configured for usage with an SSD. i believe there are a lot of settings that should be reconfigured for the system to utilize an SSD optimally. also with the wrong config it would probably wear the drive out really fast. [18:45] <^NiNjA> ok can you browse its directory at all? [18:45] I think I have got problems with my SSD [18:46] are you running ubuntu on it? [18:46] ^NiNjA yes, its a mac artitioned drive [18:46] warfaren, I would think since most people use Ubuntu as a local (or remote) server, that it would work just fine with it. I mean, you can run Ubuntu off a flash drive (practically the same thing but slower, right?) [18:46] ^NiNjA i cant use it on ubuntu [18:46] sunson, download via torrent :) [18:46] yes. i heard about people who installed an OS on a compact flash card. but they're not very durable with the heavy writing an OS may cause [18:47] BPower: I report success installing Ubuntu from the mini.iso to a USB stick [18:47] <^NiNjA> try copy and pasting something from linux to a mac folder. if it works then its allowing read/write [18:47] warfaren I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 on it [18:47] <^NiNjA> you may need root privelages in linux [18:47] after all flash memory have a limited amount of writes [18:48] MAREK_BENC_NetB, I have ubuntu installed on my USB drive -- i used it only once though because it's way too slow. Maybe it'd be faster with a USB 3 drive [18:48] warfaren it's very fast [18:48] nice. how fast do you boot up? [18:48] warfaren and root partition don't need much writes cycles [18:48] warfaren 8 secs [18:48] i noticed even on a modern pc with a decent hard drive you boot really fast [18:49] WOW! that's insane! so you're not running a swap partition on the SSD i guess? [18:49] warfaren this a intel value model [18:49] ^NiNjA ok i found out i have to disable journaling, but you cant disable journaling on a drive that has time machine backups on it. [18:49] Ubuntu really does boot fast, compared to other UNIX OSs [18:49] warfaren read at 220MB/s and write over 50 MB/s [18:49] its very slow writting [18:49] and i thought my brothers computer got fast with windows booting in one minute, when he got an SSD [18:49] lostson: another viable alternative (and a more reliable one) is using nohup [18:49] warfaren i disabled ureadahead [18:49] okay [18:50] <^NiNjA> CosmicVoyager, okay. thats odd... ext4 (ubuntu) is a journaling FS [18:50] It is [18:50] <^NiNjA> ya stummped me CosmicVoyager [18:50] <^NiNjA> sorry [18:50] <^NiNjA> i will do some reading and see if i can be more help [18:50] lostson: even with the & operator, some windows still rely on the terminal. it's odd, but using nohup it prevents output, and if the window tries to hold on to the terminal - it'll just keep nohup from finishing. in which case ctrl+c kills it, but the window stays running [18:51] * BPower is wondering if he can delete all the [HASH].14.0.797.0_service_ipc files in his home directory [18:51] warfaren is very important enable "discard" [18:51] what does that do? [18:51] warfaren and use align the partition / lvm [18:51] hey, i am trying to setup authentication with active directory through nss_ldap, i configured /etc/ldap.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf restarted nscd, if i understand correctly at this point i should be able to see user entries with getenet passwd, however it seems to only show local users [18:51] Hi all -- I have a VG that claims to be missing a PV. It's PVs are all MD SW raid1 devices and all seem to be okay. When I force active with -P, everything *seems* fine, but I'm suspicious (Ubuntu 64-bit 10.04LTS). Should I be worried and/or how do I correct this? [18:52] ^NiNjA id ont know ehere i read that. this is a nightmare. I have been trying fro days get write acces to my mac drive in ubuntu [18:52] ok guys, is my laptop going to melt or explode if i try to upgrade 11.04 to 11.10? :> [18:52] ironhalik: probably [18:52] warfaren you can search info on google, it's depend about your SSD unit [18:52] ironhalik: uhhm.. it might have issues. 11.10 isn't officially released ye tis it? [18:52] its tempting :/ [18:52] <^NiNjA> CosmicVoyager, i found a link that may help it seems its simple but not something one would know easily [18:53] yeah its in beta right now [18:53] mordof: Oneiric/11.10 is not yet released (still beta). Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion [18:53] <^NiNjA> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1802981 [18:53] How do i detach a terminal session tab from a list of opened tabs. It's interfering with irssi as the channel change key is also alt+1 [18:53] ah, ok [18:53] i see. well it would be nice to see all these settings auto configuring with the installer, if it detects an SSD [18:53] <^NiNjA> let me know if that helps any [18:53] how can I check in a script if an upstart job is running? [18:53] ant30, warfaren, also mount SSD volume with noatime (if that's set up, it won't write the "last accessed time" on files it accesses) [18:54] hi. has anyone had any luck making a liveUSB out of oneiric's .iso (x86) ?

(should return 0, if it's running) [19:04] artzra: Be patient, if someone can help, they will [19:04] artzra: what's wrong? [19:05] ;ordof brqdj [19:05] ummm..

If I check sources.list it lists "lenny" [19:09] ahh [19:09] you're in Unity then and you're not finding what you need to change? [19:09] Neurotiquette: this is Ubuntu, ask in #debian if you use lenny [19:11] I am trying to follow the procedure I was referred to for updating my Ubuntu 8.04. My problem is one I type "sudo do-release-upgrade -d", my screen says "no release found" [19:11] llutz: Hrm. uname -a said ubuntu. [19:11] llutz: This is a VPS [19:11] Neurotiquette: What does lsb_release -a say? [19:11] ;) i have find why, in this distro there is all pakage mixed ,,,, sorry so there is a lot of system conig [19:12] artzra: you want to load language support. hold on [19:12] Can I install MATLAB by wine? [19:12] Neurotiquette: then fix your sources, you shouldn't use debian-repos if using ubuntu. it _could_ break things [19:12] artzra: type gnome-language-selector in terminal to get to language support [19:12] because i thing its KDE + GNOMe application mixed [19:13] hm [19:13] I'm trying to mount a Windows Share from a remote computer and am getting the error "invalid credential filename specified" [19:13] any idea what i'm doing wrong?

Once again need help - have strange issue - I can't copy now anything in my USB flash drive (3min before I could (deleta and copy stuff)) How to resolve? [19:14] * BPower knows that they are "socket" files [19:14] * MAREK_BENC_NetB is wonndering if he can make a Ubuntu/kFreeBSD [19:14] * BPower doesn't know what that means though [19:14] "paste" option is greyed out and I have Xubuntu ;) [19:14] mordof, its that my problem this is with this gnome setup [19:14] BPower: here's how you test that - cut them and move them to another directory. if your OS stops working, worst case scenario you boot into a live CD and move them back [19:14] llutz: OK, according to lsb_release -a it says debian... but maybe that's because I just ran apt-get upgrade on a bunch of debian repos :/ (thank god its just a VPS) [19:14] BPower: please don't use the silly /me messages, just post your question, in detail in single line in the channel [19:15] * BPower is glaring at MAREK_BENC_NetB for stealing his thunder. [19:15] Can I install MATLAB by wine? [19:15] i try oser think ... [19:15] hi is ebox still affiliated with ubuntu? [19:15] Moein: try support in #winehq [19:15] Moein: why would you install MATLAB by wine, when there is a linux version available? [19:15] is there an alternative to ebox for ubuntu? [19:15] i must reboot ( soon ciao) [19:16] mordof, ya I would normally, but I can't on this machine -- it needs to remain active. [19:16] oCean, I did :) [19:16] jwrigley, I have windows version! [19:16] Lol@Moein [19:16] leftist: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [19:16] Any help for me (I need that USB flash so I can install things on my virtual machine (XP). [19:16] Pretty sure you can just download the Linux version from Mathworks, if you have a matlab license. That's what I do [19:16] ^^ Moein [19:17] for studies [19:17] BPower: well, I've had enough issues with my computer recently that I'm not about to test something else like that out, lol [19:17] jwrigley, !!!! [19:17] BPower: i have no idea what they're used for. it might be something specific that your setup uses and someone elses doesn't also [19:18] mordof, i guess I'll just leave them alone then === lolcat^ is now known as lolcat [19:20] I wish config/settings files weren't stored in /home/*** though. or at least have them all under /home/****/.systemdata/ [19:20] BPower: why? your home folder represents everything custom to you === nosa is now known as nosa-j [19:20] Moein: yep, you create an account with mathworks (if you haven't already), then when logged in you can click on Manage Licenses. Then you just register your license, and download away. [19:20] BPower: it's a good idea to mount /home on a different partition for specifically those sorts of reasons - you can reinstall or update, restore, etc.. without losing those config settings [19:20] mordof, i guess i really meant I wish config/settings files were stored in /home/****/.systemdata/ === derp is now known as pet_queer [19:21] BPower: *nods* [19:21] So, I'm still working on my permissions and now I have another issue, my apache error log says the following (13)Permission denied: /home/dv310p3r/www/coolwebsite/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable [19:21] BPower: the /home/user/.config directory is for that (amongst various other .directories) [19:22] BPower: are you using cromium browser? [19:22] *chromium [19:22] The problem is that the .htaccess file isn't in that directory, it's supposed to be one directory deeper in /www/coolwebsite/website/.htaccess [19:22] I'm using Dildo web browser! [19:22] MAREK_BENC_NetB: -.-; really... [19:22] s/Dildo/Dillo [19:23] s/d/l/ would have sufficed [19:23] I do like the ability to copy my home dir to a new unit or back to a restored unit [19:23] oCean, Chrome [19:23] Hello. I'm running Lucid, 64bit server. When I try and use gdb on python, and print a py-bt I get "Error occurred in Python command: 'gdb.Frame' object has no attribute 'function'". Seems relevant to this old bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdb/+bug/591023 [19:23] BPower: that's were the files are from [19:23] Ubuntu bug 591023 in gdb (Ubuntu) "AttributeError: 'gdb.Frame' object has no attribute 'function'" [Undecided,New] [19:24] oCean, but programs save their settings/etc to /user/myname/.theirname all the time [19:24] BPower: socket files are not configuration files [19:24] BPower: those are UNIX-Domain socket files for inter-process communication. [19:25] are there any free VOIP clients for Linux? google-talkplugin doesn't install now [19:25] oCean, I wasn't really talking about those [19:26] I've some problems with dpkg-buildpackage [19:26] This gdb/python bug was filed over a year ago. Is it really possible that it is still "Status: New", Unassigned and unfixed? I'm not trying to criticize, I just have no idea how the patching process works for Ubuntu. [19:26] !voip | robertzaccour [19:26] robertzaccour: VoIP is Voice over IP. The default VoIP client for Ubuntu is !Ekiga. There is also an xmpp voice component in !Empathy. Kubuntu Clients include Kphone and Twinkle. Proprietary Clients include !Skype and Gizmo5. VoIP server applications include Asterisk and Yate ( both in repositories ), FreePBX, and SipX. [19:26] I made a package and used dh_make to the debian/ thing with all configuration files [19:27] now I did dpkg-buildpackage and that made me a .deb [19:27] jwrigley, I meant free ones. I'm googling for stuff atm thanks anyway [19:27] but when I want to make a new .deb and use dpkg-buildpackage for this, the .deb stays the same regardless of my changes to debian/ [19:27] files in debian/* actually .. [19:28] hi [19:28] and if I remove the .deb in an attempt to ask dpkg-buildpackage to rebuild the package from scratch I get an error [19:28] robertzaccour: ekiga? [19:28] dpkg-genchanges: error: cannot fstat file ../libweather-perl_0.05-1_all.deb: No such file or directory [19:28] oCean, I'm talking about these: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4115701/Screenshots/Selection_002.png [19:28] jwrigley, I can call phones for free with ekiga? [19:29] spetrea: I think that it likes you to run dh_clean. I remember having similar problems though I never got them fully resolved. [19:29] i was trying to update my firefox flash plugin, from the official site and when i download the .rpm package and try to run it i get "failed to install package" i reckon thats "kpackage" program thats opening it === MichealH is now known as KowalskiJ [19:30] a lot of my panel items have %U in the command arguments. I've been told that it's specific to Ubuntu. anyone know what this flag does? [19:30] robertzaccour: what? you can't call phones for free with anything. The phone company that connects the call will want money. [19:31] BPower: yeah so? === KowalskiJ is now known as MichealH [19:31] mordof: they aren't specific to ubuntu, see: http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s06.html [19:32] Combatjuan: I'll give it a shot, thanks [19:32] BPower: it's customary to use that [19:32] robertzaccour: The program is free. free as in beer and free as in free speech. That's as much as we can hope for. [19:32] So I have a new ubuntu server VM and I just changed my only sudo-capable user's primary group and now he can't sudo. Can I recover this or should I reformat? [19:32] robertzaccour: unless of course you setup your own telephone network, that includes all the people you wish to talk to. [19:33] oCean, I was just venting. I'd prefer those all to be in their own folder to keep things clean e.g. /home/user/.systemdata/ or /home/user/.appdata/ [19:34] trism: based on that document, a lot of my panel items are using it wrong.. though i still don't quite understand it [19:34] .players === macer1 is now known as testing123111 [19:34] wow force of hapit >< === testing123111 is now known as macer1 [19:36] Hello!

[20:10] it does, oCean [20:11] at the top it says "Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpmyadmin" [20:11] Odaym: in that case, you can create the link: sudo ln -s /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf [20:12] Anyone? :O [20:12] done, oCean [20:12] Odaym: restart apache, and try again [20:12] works [20:12] allright [20:12] thank you [20:13] Odaym: welcome === B0g4r7__ is now known as B0g4r7 [20:13] 'lo?

What about runlevel 2... is it the same as 3 and 4? I guess I'll have to resort to single user mode. [20:22] cheako: how did it "not work"? [20:22] guntbert: No effect. [20:22] cheako: where did you append it? [20:23] cheako, to disable GDM from starting you can MOVE the GDM file in /etc/init/ to GDM-FOO.disabled [20:23] guntbert: After the other boot args in grub on the line starting with linux.

Also going to have a third for maintance so that's a total of four diffrent runlevels. [20:35] cheako: I'm not advocating here, just telling you the facts - and no: runlevels have been much more than just X vs. no X, so you cannot definitely state "I'm running in RL3 now" if you are not...

I will do it a bit later when i turn it again on [21:27] blsh0p, not sure there is one. try #docky [21:27] msilviera: yes [21:27] k [21:28] maybe the kernel mods needed didn't get moved to the new inside of the shrunk partition? [21:28] msilviera: im not a ubuntu god [21:28] like [21:29] is there a way to reinstall ubuntu [21:29] like windows [21:29] i mean with same settings and programs and files [21:29] what is the difference between "xfsdump -J -s ew_gpfs -s ew_media - /mnt/media1 | xfsrestore -J - /mnt/media2" and just copying "ew_gpfs" "ew_media" from /mnt/media1 to /mnt/media2 === G7|Cloud is now known as G7|CloudyDay [21:29] !clone | TL1 [21:29] TL1: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [21:30] TL1: let's see again, I just switched back in, youz shrunk a partition and now ubuntu won't boot ? [21:30] do you have any other things (like windows) on the same harddrive? [21:30] DasEi1: kernel [21:30] TL1: does ubuntu boot or not ? [21:30] my hard is ext4 , ntfs ,ntfs ,ntfs ,ntfs [21:31] but no windows install [21:31] TL1, you may have to zero all the secotrs in the extfs partition and do a reinstall [21:31] DasEi1: not but i can see the menu [21:32] TL1, if you want to reinstall just reinstall over the ext4 bit [21:32] TL1: first thing would be to check the uuids of fstab, which will be different after resizing, use a live cd === pothos_ is now known as pothos [21:32] !info blkid | TL1: [21:32] TL1:: Package blkid does not exist in natty [21:32] Gentoo64: would it be the same again [21:32] im on lucid [21:32] idk what the prblem is [21:32] TL1: run sudo blkid from a livecd [21:33] TL1: then check if that's what /etc/fstab knows about your drive(s) [21:34] "$have_money ? show_money() : get_a_job();" <--- what's that called? [21:34] hi. what I want to know is what is the text processor that uses this kind of instruction --- http://www.google.com/ [21:34] nooo [21:34] DasEi1: once ago i edited this file he was telling me that he can't mount my ntfss but no he don't [21:34] * TL1 working on the live cd === G7|CloudyDay is now known as G7|Cloud [21:35] TL1, do you have yet any important data on the extfs parition? [21:35] TL1: mind that you need hd's fstab, not the one from livecd [21:35] !info blkid [21:35] hi. what I want to know is what is the text processor that uses this kind of instruction --- s/goo/good/ [21:35] Package blkid does not exist in natty [21:35] TL1: run sudo blkid from a livecd [21:36] TL1: that command is in a metapackage [21:36] tripelb: sed, ed? [21:36] is there a simple way to keep two folders on two machines on a local network synced? [21:36] Fuchs: The partiotion is not in /etc/fstab. [21:36] tripelb: a lot of programs use that... for example: perl, sed, vim [21:36] where was fstab [21:36] ok so etc [21:37] almoxarife: well, unison with some frontend would be a possibility [21:37] almoxarife: Yes, rsync [21:37] всем привет [21:37] almoxarife: or just rsync, which is used by unison (which makes it more comfortable) [21:37] my fstab contains 2 lines only [21:37] awfs [21:37] tempfs [21:37] TL1, if your install worked before the shrinking, and if you don't have any irreplacable data on the extfs partition, it might probably be less effort to erase and start over than to figure out the problem [21:37] Fuchs: which has a gui? :) [21:38] almoxarife: if you want: it can have a gtk+ GUI [21:38] almoxarife: you can use it with a CLI as well, depending what you prefer [21:38] hi to all....i'm new in this great world of linux...but i have a problem with the wifi conection of my notebook compaq cq56224 la [21:38] plis i need help, thanks! ;) [21:38] Fuchs: cool, cli is hard on me, my typing skills suck [21:38] i wan't to reinstall the easy way [21:38] homero: do you get a msg upon booting about 'missing firmware' ? [21:39] i don't want to download the updates all over again [21:39] русские есть? [21:39] almoxarife: then try the GUI, it is rather nice [21:39] and the packages [21:39] Fuchs: gui on which package? [21:39] almoxarife: however, you first have to set up unison on both machines, and a way on how to connect from one to the other (e.g. ssh) [21:39] Hello, I recently tried from live CD ubuntu 11.04 and 10.04. They seem very different on 1st glance ( I don't know anything on linux). Which one should I install? [21:39] almoxarife: read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Unison [21:40] Fuchs: thnks [21:40] no problem [21:40] also when i try to boot physically my exhdd my hp craptop dosen't even show the menu [21:40] LSDelusions: Which one you like better. [21:40] TL1, fair enough [21:41] DasEi1: only two lines [21:41] chaospsychex, thanks, but i don know write and read very well in english [21:41] Hello [21:41] !ping [21:41] another contentless ping... sigh... [21:41] msilviera: is there anyway to do this ? [21:41] you speak spanish? there is a ubuntu spanish channel i think? [21:41] !spanish [21:41] En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [21:41] Hello, I've lost my id_rsa key, but I still have my pub key, is there anyway to recover it ? [21:41] Anyone having this problem? No icons on the left side of the screen (the unity bar thing). I can not change my cursor. http://i.imgur.com/Wa4Xx.jpg [21:42] python: if there was it would make a mockery of PKI [21:42] python: no, of course not [21:42] chaospsychex, how i doit that? [21:42] So I'm lost [21:42] python: use your backups [21:42] TL1: so mount your root, cd there and compare the strings with that output === pet_queer is now known as derp [21:43] Don't have backup [21:43] python: if you could persuade the NSA or someone like to helo you the it probably could be done [21:43] python: take this as opportunity to realize you should make backups :) [21:43] Is there any tool to fetch ISBN and eventualy manage collection? [21:43] si hablo español chaospsychex [21:43] homero: type '/join #ubuntu-es' to join the spanish channel [21:43] qin: there is a perl module that grabs the data given an isbn if that;s what you mean [21:43] Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter [21:44] :( [21:44] mhm [21:44] thanks ;) [21:45] DasEi1: he is talking about sdc. [21:45] i think that i don't have [21:45] jpmh: Have collection of pdf (mostly with author title in name), my job is to make it tidy, evaluate, and get ready for online search and reading. [21:46] TL1: use the right uuid from blkid, without the quotes (") [21:46] qin your are getting into applictaions rather than OS here [21:46] qin: Don't ehy have any other difference apart from the interface? [21:46] *they [21:48] jpmh: I know. [21:50] Tl1, it's good to know you shouldn't shrink the boot parition. I'll have to make a mental note of that [21:50] Fuchs: The process console-kit-daemon is running. -- The command '~$ sudo mount /dev/sdb/ /mnt works flawlessly and I can play a piece of music from this partition. [21:51] pastebin.ubuntu.com/694053 [21:51] Fuchs: The process console-kit-daemon is running. -- The command '~$ sudo mount /dev/sdb1/ /mnt works flawlessly and I can play a piece of music from this partition. [21:51] DasEi1: do you mind looking at that [21:51] bullgard4: are you able to mount other partitions from nautilus, or is just this one not working? (oh, and it is probably not /dev/sdb/ but rather /dev/sdbsomenumber) [21:52] msilviera: i don't have one if i reinstalled should i create one [21:53] what do you mean you don't have a boot parition? [21:53] you dont need one... [21:53] How do you write an upstart script that will allow any user to start the service without using sudo? [21:54] your boot parition would be the extfs you're booting from? [21:54] nickradford: you can make it executable and add it to /etc/rc.local [21:54] TL1: pastebin it [21:54] What would cause Natty to stop recognising my audio and video inputs? [21:54] i did [21:55] DasEi1: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/694053 [21:55] quick question, whats the current default desktop UI for ubuntu (11.04) called? and what was it's predecessor called? [21:55] TL1: ah [21:55] qFox: Unity and GNOME. Unity is based on GNOME though === hu5ndy is now known as w1R903 [21:55] ah unity, that's right [21:55] thanks :) [21:55] nickradford: What service are you talking about? [21:56] It just like [21:56] Doesn't recognise them [21:56] At all anymore [21:56] Fuchs: Nautilus does not mount another 2 partiotions of the same USB hard drive either. Let me haten to add that I can mount all 3 partitions automatically on another Ubuntu computer though. [21:56] Krenair, have you checked alsamixer? or the sound control panel thing? [21:56] s/haten/hasten/ === w1R903 is now known as hu5ndy [21:57] qFox: Are you having troubles seeing icons on the left side of your screen when you're in unity? [21:57] TL1: so sdb1 aka UUID="180dd15e-4611-49be-a344-c7478c264eb0 will be your root, correct that then [21:57] msilviera: oh i meant a seperate one [21:57] Gentoo64, yes [21:57] It was recognised a few days ago [21:57] I'm wondering if an update killed it or something [21:57] i removed unity. i think it's a serious p.o.s. [21:57] Krenair, possibly [21:57] DasEi1: I'll try that [21:57] i'm using classic desktop, so GNOME :) [21:57] qFox: But did you? [21:57] bullgard4: do other media, such as flash memory, work? [21:57] uh, no, i saw the icons on the left. in the OSX kind of way [21:58] usr13: It's a node.js application that I'm trying to daemonize [21:58] TL1, if you can boot from the cd, perhaps you might copy all the update files off the extfs parition to one of the ntfs partitions, and then erase and do a clean install? [21:58] but creating new ones is just madness, imho [21:58] It doesn't recognise my webcam [21:58] Alrighties. For some reason, mines is just missing icons [21:58] whoever thought of that should be ... well. [21:58] what do you mean with missing? [21:58] the bar is there though? [21:58] hello, i'm trying to help a friend troubleshoot a new install. the issue that we are encountering is that reboot raises a kernel panic... shutdown -r does not [21:58] DasEi1: I don't have a directory at /etc/rc.local [21:58] Yea. The name of the app appears only if I "over where the icons should be at". [21:59] DasEi1: i dont see a pkace for root uuid [21:59] sounds like a bug, but as you might be able to tell i'm not that much of an expert myself [21:59] place [21:59] It's like this picture here: http://i.imgur.com/Wa4Xx.jpg [21:59] ALrighties. [21:59] have you tried widening it? [21:59] I will just use Ubuntu classic. [21:59] Ibyss1: nice bug [21:59] i've actually fixed a silly bug with vertical rendering with the panels package manually :s [21:59] Ibyss1, I agree [22:00] msilviera: i dont know where are they ,2- replacing the old ones would do the trick ? [22:00] nickradford: it's a file where you add your script (including path and made executable) to [22:00] Ibyss1, do you plan on having a vertical bar again? [22:00] in classic desktop [22:00] Ibyss1, classic know is where it is at unless running a netbook [22:01] tensorpudding: I can't even change my cursor. I can see the cursor when I hover it in some apps. (or whe ni want to rename a file). [22:01] DasEi1: And then I'll be able to run `start myservice` ? [22:01] TL1: /dev/sdc3 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1 to UUID=180dd15e-4611-49be-a344-c7478c264eb0 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 [22:01] nickradford: yes [22:02] anyone know of what would cause a reboot to go in to kernel panic? i wasn't able to find any related bugs or similar issues (there was one related to iwlagn in early 2009) that seem like they would apply [22:02] Is gnome 3 making the 11.10 release? [22:02] I do not plan on having a vertical bar again qFox. [22:02] k [22:02] DasEi1: and what's the syntax for the rc.local file? [22:02] It's too alienating for my taste. [22:02] Hi, I'm having a problem where when I type skype or try to run skype it says file not found but the file definately exists (At /usr/bin/skype) Why would this be happening [22:02] nickradford: gksu gedit /etc/rc.local [22:03] nickradford: add a line above exit 0 ./mysript.sh , that will be called as root at bootup then [22:03] Help please, is it possible to start installing apps (via synaptic or software-center) to another disk too? or when the first disk is filled up. the first disk is sd [22:04] DasEi1: That's not what I need to happen. I need to be able to start or stop an upstart service via command line, and I wrote the .conf file for it. [22:04] Help please, is it possible to start installing apps (via synaptic or software-center) to another disk too? or when the first disk is filled up. the first disk is ssd [22:04] blake: which skype #What does that say? [22:04] blake@blake-laptop:~$ which skype [22:04] /usr/bin/skype [22:05] nickradford: that would be /etc/init then, but it might be easier to do it directly , like service ssh start (or stop) [22:05] However blake@blake-laptop:~$ /usr/bin/skype [22:05] bash: /usr/bin/skype: No such file or directory [22:05] DasEi1: which is what I was asking [22:05] $PATH #See if it includes /usr/bin [22:05] It does [22:05] @Digdig: Good question, I'd like to know too for future reference. :-P [22:06] blake: If you use the full path does it start and run? i.e. /usr/bin/skype [22:06] DasEi1: I have a service (call it foo) which I *can* run `sudo service foo start`, but the end users won't know the user account's password [22:06] Fuchs: No, Nautilus deals with an USB thumb drive the same way as with the USB hard drive: It does not mount when asked. But the labels of the partitions of the thumb drive appear in Nautilus [22:06] * TL1 working on [22:06] usr13: Nope, it wont execute, always says the file does not exist. even with the absolute path [22:06] Help please, is it possible to start installing apps (via synaptic or software-center) to another disk too? or when the first disk is filled up. the first disk is ssd [22:07] nickradford: so just add service foo start in rc.local [22:07] DasEi1: The service may crash at some point, and the users will need to be able to start and stop the service. [22:07] Help please, is it possible to start installing apps (via synaptic or software-center) to the second disk when the first disk will be full ??. the first disk is ssd [22:07] YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH [22:07] ive got video [22:07] bullgard4: check whether you get more errors in ~/.xsession-error [22:07] !repeat | digdig [22:07] digdig: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[22:08] @digdig: I don't think you can, however, you can always use APTonCD to backup your current packages, then replace the hard drive with a bigger one, and restore the packages?

[22:31] bah [22:31] my sister needs a good pc and i will be back to the midi tower desktops [22:31] imagine how much money i should give for this [22:32] it won't be a good pc for your sister if it's drive is full of bad sectors [22:32] to replace the drive of an imac lol i dont think so [22:32] windows 7 runs ok. After all i need a good graphics card [22:32] to play games some times [22:32] DrArcheh: It is not known to me. I am running the newest offered amd64 kernel, and I have got no problems. [22:33] I'm running a seagate ultra320 scsi drive, and it's very fast [22:33] seagate ? [22:33] ~/.profile right? [22:33] SCSI FTW. [22:34] yes, Seagate is a hdd manufacturer [22:34] avoid seagate [22:34] bullgard4: i might have ctrl-c'd the do-release-upgrade to oneiric? any chance that could cause it? or would apt-get dist-upgrade after that sort everything? [22:34] western digital hard drives are the best [22:34] Fuchs: I am falling asleep. [22:35] by the way i love unity [22:35] it just seems really random that it symlinks /run -> /var/run and /var/run -> /var/run [22:35] specially unity on 11.10 [22:35] sweet ! [22:35] * TL1 is devastated and going to sleep [22:35] * TL1 thanks all [22:35] good sleep [22:35] and sweet dreams [22:35] DrArcheh: I believe that 'apt-get dist-upgrade' will cure almost all these problems. [22:35] TL1, if your installation is too far hosed, a reinstall maybe the olnly way [22:36] DrArcheh: in due time. [22:36] hi , i have a problem dealing with some of my (iso) file types over my (hard disk) ... i don't know what happened , but now they are read as (data) by the file utility ....not able to mount them or extract files from them .. any suggestions ?? [22:37] acetoneiso [22:37] or something like that ? [22:37] how can I remove audio from a .flv file?

[22:41] bilygates: thx [22:41] bilygates: not .avi [22:42] it should work with .flv too, i guess [22:42] If the file is using B-frames as reference it can lead to a crash or stuttering. [22:43] bilygates: thanks man it worked like a charm [22:45] np, all i did was google it [22:47] question: will i be able to easily use/install gnome2/3 in oneiric (e.g. from PPAs), without unity? [22:48] what type of software do i need to get inorder to host a web page [22:48] I just installed ubuntu server and the default editor for sudoedit is nano. How do I change it? I've tried setting EDITOR and VISUAL in .bashrc [22:49] edwardthefma you need a web server like apache [22:49] kkk [22:49] bilygates: Oneiric uses gnome3 and you can install gnome-shell with no problem, but gnome2 is bad idea. [22:49] probably also php [22:49] yay for gnome3 :) [22:49] but why would gnome2 be a bad idea? [22:49] !lamp | edwardthefma [22:49] edwardthefma: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL.

[22:50] ok thx [22:50] +1 for postgres [22:51] ok, tx qin [22:51] i was hoping someone was still maintaining it [22:51] bilygates: it touched quality [22:51] :( [22:51] I once spent most of two weeks trying to get mysql running in a stable manner [22:52] how can I tell apt or aptitude ou dpkg to reinstall all the packets in the system, redownloading from the repositories? [22:52] i haven't tried gnome3 yet, is it good/efficient? [22:52] piero: Why would you want to do so? [22:53] qin, ubuntu+1 broken packets [22:53] exit [22:53] bilygates: framerate was set at 1000 [22:53] oops [22:55] bilygates: After using Gnome-shell, Unity looks like success ;) [22:55] does anyone know what kernel version the current release is at ? [22:55] piero: sudo apt-get install -f ; otherwise seek help in #ubuntu+1 [22:56] i love unity... only complaint I have is that Unity makes my laptop slow, otherwise I would use it on both computers [22:56] does gnome3/unity play nice with dual monitors? mainly, can i have a panel on each monitor with its open windows? :d [22:57] trying to fix grub anyone got any ideas [22:58] !fixgrub [22:58] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic).

[23:28] @Shadow-Eagle well it came up with a few permission errors. No permission to edit certain files [23:28] Then the whole thing just crashed. [23:28] is it your server? [23:28] It's a dreamhost server. [23:29] @spartigicial then it may be unrealted [23:29] santoscrew: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSansMono.ttf [23:29] how does one create an operating system like ubuntu [23:29] unrelated? [23:30] @spartificial yes that [23:30] BrownNoMore: ubuntu isn't an os, it is a distro [23:30] Seems fairly coincidental, just as I ran the command, boom. [23:30] But ok, thanks. [23:30] as it is hosted offsite your command may just have been timed bandly [23:30] or it is a defence system to stop you getting at stuff you are not ment to [23:30] why are you after the /var anyway [23:31] chaospsychex: you grub does not include "CDs" in the grub-menu. [23:31] I was just trying to see how websites has been set up on the folder. [23:31] Couldn't find any virtual host files in /etc/apache2 (in fact directory is fairly empty). [23:31] jwrigley: ??? [23:31] *set up on the server [23:31] No, such a command should not normally crash a system. [23:32] can someone help me do a loopback on a ISO using grub ? [23:32] No apport report written because MaxReports is reached already [23:32] what Live USB creator could I use to take a Windows 7 ISO image and apply it to a flash drive? I've used UNetbootin for many things, but I tried with one windows iso and it didn't work correctly === bassline1 is now known as bassliner [23:32] ...How can I process these? [23:32] @spartificial have you also tried /etc/apache2/sites-available and sites-enabled? [23:33] oracle: wrong channel, ask in ##windows (double hash) [23:33] oracle: I was thinking there are none, save windows PE. [23:33] Only directory in /etc/apache2 is mods-available. [23:34] chaospsychex: oh, right, thought you had done something else. have a look at pendrivelinux.com [23:34] @oracle if you have a windows box lying around, you can download microsoft's tool [23:34] Quite strange. [23:34] Certainly no way to take an iso and put it on a USB. [23:34] jwrigley: that's not what i am trying to do [23:34] cheako, there are many tools to do it [23:34] unetbootin [23:34] UNetBootin is one, the thing is it didn't work with the windows iso I had [23:34] i am trying to boot to a ISO using a loopback from grub2 === dev_ is now known as brokencodes [23:35] yeah, unetbootin doesn't work with windows iso's afaik [23:35] chaospsychex, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1549847 [23:35] urlin2u: thanks! [23:35] so what does? and this has to be a tool I can run on linux (without wine) because I don't have a windows box just lying around........actually I do but it's slower than the speed of smell and I don't wanna turn it on [23:36] chaospsychex, no problem [23:36] oracle: UNetbootin allows you to create bootable Live USB drives for Ubuntu, Fedora, and other Linux distributions without burning a CD. [23:36] chaospsychex: indeed. you will find instructions on pendrivelinux.com on how to set up grub to do ISO loopback [23:36] yes, I know, but what about WINDOWS [23:36] oracle: None of those tools with work with windows iso. [23:36] oracle: wrong channel, ask in ##windows (double hash) [23:36] I tried and it didn't work [23:36] MonkeyDu1t: Don't send him off to find the holy grail. [23:36] @oracle that tool is win-only. i had the same problem and i ended up making a bootable usb from windows :( [23:37] oracle, in Ubuntu the thumb has to be NTFS, a boot flag, and extract the W7 to it. [23:37] which tool is windows only? [23:37] why not Fat32? all the linux distros worked while it was a fat32 partition [23:37] oracle: There are "none" tools that will take a windows iso and load it onto a USB stick. [23:37] @oracle http://emea.microsoftstore.com/UK/en-GB/Help/Windows-7-USB-DVD-Download-Tool [23:38] later all [23:38] Universal USB Installer should be able to? [23:38] oracle, follow my post and you will be set. [23:38] urlin2u, what's the w7? [23:39] bilygates: I'm not paying for that [23:40] oracle, "what Live USB creator could I use to take a Windows 7 ISO image" or use this app http://liveusb.info/dotclear/ [23:40] @oracle erm, it's free :/ [23:40] oracle, a rip or a bootable thumb? [23:40] I tried to install gnome 3 on ubuntu 11.04 last night and it messed up my system. In doing searches, it appears they don't exactly play wel together. Does anyone know how to make them work properly? [23:41] @kbreit i would wait for 11.10 for gnome3 [23:41] bilygates: nowhere does it show where to download that [23:41] it's a 4 GB USB Flash drive [23:41] bilygates: So it is tough to get tehm to play together huh [23:41] @oracle http://images2.store.microsoft.com/prod/clustera/framework/w7udt/1.0/uk/Windows7-USB-DVD-tool.exe [23:41] okay [23:42] bilygates: Am I able to get gnome 2 on here? [23:42] oracle, use nics and tab them if your talking to me look at installation, use a french to english lang convertoer [23:43] @kbreit i tried getting gnome3 on my netbook with 11.04. nothing worked and I had to reinstall from scratch afterwards [23:44] gnome2 where? on 11.04? [23:44] Yes [23:44] I don't really love Unity. Don't adore gnome 3 either, but I prefer it. [23:44] logout, select user, select "gnome classic" from a dropdown somewhere on the bottom, log in === sysadamin|away is now known as sysadamin [23:45] thanks qin jrib -- you said that s/onee/one/ is used by sed, ed, perl, vim (thanks) [23:47] I've need to use a non-compositing window manager(for playing movies and other special purpose tasks), but gnome3 makes that impossible. [23:49] hi all, using dwm and looking to set random wallpaper with feh.... not sure how to pipe this command to feh though... : find /usr/home/user/Downloads/ -type f -print | random | tail -1 [23:49] could anyone help please? [23:50] stupidhead: " | xargs -n 1 feh" ? [23:50] Also " | read fil; feh $fil" [23:50] ...does the same. [23:50] stupidhead: or just use $() [23:51] goodnight everyone, if it's night where you are :P [23:51] hey is bleachbit a good cleaner app to use [23:52] i would preffer to use the $()... but not sure how to use it? do i wrap it around my argument like this?: feh --bg-max $(find /usr/home/user/Downloads/ -type f -print | random | tail -1)? [23:52] stupidhead: yes [23:52] jrib: ahh.. this is giving me an illegal variable name.... i should say i'm using sh NOT bash.. take it this makes a difference? [23:53] man sh [23:53] stupidhead: just use bash :) [23:53] stupidhead: Yes. [23:53] stupidhead: what's "random" do by the way? [23:53] Hi I Have my os on 31 gigs and a 250 gig partition free. How can I extend that without booting from cd? [23:53] or just use one of my examples. both are sh frendly. [23:53] stupidhead: lol=$(find /usr/home/user/Downloads/ -type f -print | random | tail -1); echo $lol [23:54] jrib: random takes directory and randomises it :) [23:54] Hi I Have my os on 31 gigs and a 250 gig partition free. How can I extend that without booting from cd? [23:55] I just installed compat-wireless. It works great for a USB card I installed it for but now my internal wifi card dosen't work. I found a launchpad bug about the problem #395630. [23:55] stupidhead: but $lol itself do not look ok. Why do you use find? [23:55] qin: Illegal variable name. [23:55] stupidhead: it seems to return empty sometimes [23:55] hi question how i hacve 2 computers one mac osx and 1 ubuntu they are borth running off the same router how do i access the ubuntu from my mac osx desktop [23:55] gin: i'm using find to print full directory path to images... it's how feh needs them. can't figure out how to use ls to do this [23:55] so using find [23:56] michael_p: access to do what [23:56] stupidhead: yes, seems like you have (1/2^n) probability of not having a background :D [23:56] stupidhead: cd is easier. And what is "random" [23:56] I've tested random from bsdgames(on debian) and it works as expected. [23:56] like terminal something like that [23:57] Is there anyway I can get Ubuntu to load wl.ko from .../updates and the 80211 stuff from my regular kernel modules? [23:57] michael_p: you need openssh-server installed and the sshd init/service running [23:57] michael_p: You can use SSH or VNC [23:57] michael_p: Mac has both of these things. [23:57] michael_p: then /sbin/ifconfig will tell you the IP to ssh to [23:57] man 6 random states: random reads lines from the standard input and copies them to the standard output with a probability of 1/denominator. The default value for denominator is 2. [23:58] ican fix random later by feeding it the number of files in that directory.. giving every file an equal chance... but for now i can't figure out how to feed the resulting filepath to feh.... anybody know? [23:59] while [ $(find /usr/share/backgrounds/ -type f -print | random | tail -1) ]; do true; done; # This never exits on my box. [23:59] stupidhead: use of random doesn't seem like the right approach since the chance always exists that it displays nothing
