[00:00] whats best [00:00] ssh or vnc [00:00] man 6 random [00:00] michael_p: One is a wrench the other a screwdriver. [00:01] okay i'll get to random... but how do i feed the result of find to feh? [00:01] stupidhead: there were 3 options given to you [00:02] stupidhead: Use ' | read fil; feh --bg-max "$fil"' [00:02] michael_p: more like one is a wrench the other is an MMORPG [00:02] hmm right not sure how i did it but xargs didn't work first time... works now [00:02] morning: where does one change the file association on ubuntu 10.04 ... all my pdfs have become python files ( association that it ) [00:02] alkafoo: i stand corrected. [00:02] michael_p: ssh gives you commandline access only ordinarily, VNC is a stream of yoru graphical desktop [00:02] cheako: not for long [00:02] * alkafoo steals yo legs! [00:03] boolean: you mean they have PDF icons? [00:03] boolean: or they open in your PDF app? [00:03] stupidhead: cd /directory/with/file; lol=$(ls | head -n 1); feh $lol [00:03] | shuf [00:03] stupidhead: instead of random, "sort -R" is probably a better option [00:04] alkafoo: actually they are known pdf files but any double click brings gedit as opposed to evince yet both complain about trying to open a python file [00:04] qin: He is not using bash, so $() becomes `` [00:04] boolean: so if you manually open them with evince, they load? [00:04] alkafoo: nope .. it too complains about not being able to open a python file [00:04] boolean: what makes you think they're PDF files? [00:05] boolean: Use file on them. [00:05] using freebsd my sort doesn't have a -R option or would have [00:05] bc I can open them with a pdf reader prior to an update [00:05] Encyclopedia of Weapons of World War II.pdf: PDF document, version 1.4 [00:05] stupidhead: what about shuf? =) [00:05] stupidhead, cheako: though command substitution, $(), should work in dash too [00:05] i am wondering if a shared lib is causing this mess [00:06] boolean: can evince open _any_ PDF? [00:06] How can I switch off compositing in an X session using gnome3? [00:06] alkafoo: none of them [00:06] alkafoo: don't appear to have shuf, thanks though! === bk_ is now known as Guest66393 [00:06] boolean: okay =) [00:06] stupidhead: awe [00:06] even nautilus has them defined as python files [00:06] you can always md5sum them all then | sort then parse out the md5 sum =P [00:07] stupidhead: Did you get it working using read though? === a is now known as Guest51774 [00:07] so back to the original question, where does ubuntu store its file association [00:07] boolean: where does GNOME [00:08] alkafoo: true true ... to me they have become synonymous [00:08] no doubt in gconf's database somewhere, but it'd be weird if that was your only problem [00:08] cheako: no, tried it, gave fil: Undefined variable. [00:08] What ports need to be forwarded to share SMB (samba)? [00:08] alkafoo: well my desktop icons all when wierd too [00:08] is there a way to rebuild this ? [00:08] boolean: what'd you do? =P [00:08] Ive been trying to figure this out all day; bypassing my LAN allows successfull smb === funkeyy is now known as Nakszynski [00:08] alkafoo: if I knew, i would be asking ;) [00:09] jrib: if $() is specific to dash or bash then i can't use it as i'm bourne [00:09] stupidhead: erm, what? [00:09] using sh, not bash [00:09] stupidhead: sh is dash on ubuntu by default [00:09] I can't seem to get updatedb to include /home/ in the search, when run as root. /etc/updatedb.conf doesn't have /home in PRUNEPATHS. What else can I check? [00:10] stupidhead: What about xargs? " | xargs -n1 feh --bg-max [00:10] setuid: do you have encrypted directories? [00:10] setuid: do you have encrypted home directories? [00:10] jrib, yes, encrypted /home/ [00:10] cheako: yeah, xargs did the trick, minus the -n1 part :) thanks [00:10] setuid: it's probably related to that [00:10] jrib, ok, so how do I get it to be included? [00:10] stupidhead: np [00:10] user-specific updatedb? [00:10] setuid: I don't know offhand [00:10] Is there an installation cd that's like the minimal one, but comes with more drivers out of the box? I want control over what packages get installed, but only have a wireless connection, so I can't use the minimal installer. [00:11] So, what is the best way to figure out why ubuntu keeps locking up within a 30-240 minutes after starting a heavy 3d graphical app? [00:11] maybe the server installer? [00:11] ah! [00:11] adding /home/.ecryptfs to PRUNEPATHS [00:11] ane one use gnome3 and gkrellms? My rellms are stuck and I can't get at the 'handle' needed to move them. [00:11] And when it locks up, get a nice vertical overlapping blue/black lines... [00:11] tqrsst: maybe any live image you like and debootstrap [00:11] jrib: using freebsd here. suppose should have started with that [00:12] why i wanted sh solution [00:12] stupidhead: this is the wrong channel then... [00:12] stupidhead: /j #sh [00:12] I need a way to move a window without using it's title bar. [00:12] yeah, realized that but coulodn't get onto #freebsd and figured unix is unix [00:12] alkafoo: ubuntootstrap? :) [00:12] cheako: Alt-F7 [00:12] * alkafoo shrugs [00:13] !register | stupidhead [00:13] stupidhead: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [00:13] cheako: or wmctrl [00:13] thanks [00:13] cheako: there used to be some key combination too (like windows + mouse 1 or something like that) [00:14] i've added a menu entry to 40_custom in grub.d to boot to an ISO but when I ran sudo update-grub the menu entry isn't showing up?????? [00:14] qin: what's wmctrl? This is a window that can't have focus so the Alt-f7 trick didn't work. [00:14] do i have to reboot to see the menu entry ? [00:15] !info wmctrl [00:15] hmm, any reason that my windows don't update? If I try to drag them around they will not show up until I stop moving the mouse and compiz goes to 100% cpu [00:15] wmctrl (source: wmctrl): control an EWMH/NetWM compatible X Window Manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.07-6 (natty), package size 21 kB, installed size 88 kB [00:15] chaospsychex: well you can check that it is in /boot/grub/grub.cfg if you don't want to reboot [00:16] let me reboot [00:17] actually, to be more specific, it only happens if I am not dragging the the window along an edge [00:18] Sorry. Does anyone knows the telephone number for Canonical Canada? [00:19] Sorry, does anyone knows the telephone number for Canonical Canada? [00:19] !yay [00:19] Glad you made it! :-) [00:20] Is there a way to view the dmesg prior to the current running session?

One good idea is to use a remote server, this way both the disk and network need to be inaccessible for you to loose your log msgs. In dire situations serial ports(non-USB) are handy. [00:23] cheake: When the system locks up everything goes down, network included, and any files being accessed at the time in a few program become 0-lengthed [00:24] alkafoo: discovered it is a system wide problem === Gracenotes_ is now known as Gracenotes [00:25] OvermindDL1: hmm, I'd be suspicious about the claim that files are truncated... Though in-proper application locking can cause that effect. [00:25] They are improper applications [00:25] yo [00:25] Believe you me, I have complained to the makers [00:25] emboman: yo [00:26] OvermindDL1: are you using KMS or a text console? [00:26] KMS? [00:26] This is on my desktop for note, GUI. [00:26] How do i see cpu usage of processes from terminal in ubuntu? [00:27] Chheapshot: top [00:27] is there anyway to run gnome in some form of debug mode? [00:27] SIFTU: of so simple :D [00:27] OvermindDL1: Yeah, make sure to enable KMS for your video card... This will allow for logging to the screen, even if every thing goes south. You will need a camera. [00:27] boolean: yeah? [00:27] Chheapshot: htop is better :) [00:27] alkafoo: thought it was localized [00:28] I have a 5mp phone camera, is the the kind you speak of? [00:28] i believe there is a python lib causing a ruckus [00:28] And how would I enable KMS? [00:28] you cant run gnome3 in debug mode, because it is a bug. LOL [00:28] cheako: You still around, or did the netsplit split us? [00:28] OvermindDL1: Likely done using boot arguments... and openly developed drivers, though closed source drivers might have KMS. [00:28] johngalt: uh using gnome2 here [00:28] boolean, rightclick on file and "Open with other application" resets file associations [00:28] !ping [00:28] another contentless ping... sigh... [00:29] tjiggi_fo: did that and fails ... [00:29] SIFTU: How does it differ ? [00:29] I have to use the binary ATI/AMD video drivers as the open source ones are missing a few features I need, checking about it... [00:29] even ran from CLI [00:29] Chheapshot: did you install it and run it.. it has sorting features, color support, kill processes etc etc [00:29] OvermindDL1: Yeah an external device capable of making screen captures. A USB webcam would not be sufficient. [00:30] OvermindDL1: What features am I missing using the open drivers? [00:30] SIFTU: Yeah just installed it, looks much better thx [00:30] ...asside from OpenCL. [00:30] ugh ... to many libs to go through ( ldd /usr/bin/evince :P ) [00:30] opencl [00:30] Yes, that [00:30] Although not using it right at the moment so guess I could switch... [00:30] boolean, you need to go thru your /var/log/dpkg/ and see if those updates had any complaints [00:31] tjiggi_fo: there is a start .. thanks [00:31] should there be a file at /boot/grub/menu.lst ?? [00:31] i installed tftp-server at my os server but i cant download it remotly with using another tftp [00:31] or was it renamed in newer ubuntu?

I have been asking now for 2-3 weeks =/ [00:34] chris_0076: Try once more. [00:34] hmm, any reason that my windows don't update? If I try to drag them around they will not show up until I stop moving the mouse and compiz goes to 100% cpu [00:34] actually, to be more specific, it only happens if I am not dragging the the window along an edge [00:35] using Ubuntu 11.04 [00:35] Sonja: If you mean which partition, well, it depends on where you installed /boot [00:35] q8800 cpu, 220gt gfx [00:35] I'm running Ubuntu server, with a wireless network card in the machine. How can I configure the wireless network settings using recommended tools / config files? [00:36] make sure you're using a driver that's utilizing your GPU [00:36] Lithos84: there seems to be a /boot folder in every partition [00:36] any tips for tweaking ubuntu to run on slower computers? [00:36] bodhi 1.2 is based on ubuntu and runs real light [00:36] Sonja: You have to remember in which partition you installed Ubuntu :) [00:37] excelsior, turning off any graphics rich things like desktop effects and transparency will help [00:37] excelsior: how slow? [00:37] probably if you have compiz on, that won't help matters either [00:38] chris_0076: Yeah, this is a problem with your video drivers. Make sure you don't have any libGL(s) lying around that you don't want to be using. Use ldd or then environment variable "LD_DEBUG=libs" to discover what libs your X server and compiz are loading. [00:38] http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purelxde [00:38] excelsior: maybe turning off startup apps [00:38] excelsior: Replace GNOME with LXDE.

You may switch to a VT and login as root, login as you on another VT. Then as root stop gdm. As you do "LD_DEBUG=libs startx 2> debug.log" [00:42] !nickspam | Alphaxx [00:42] Alphaxx: You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users.

See also « /msg ubottu Guidelines » [00:42] Then look at the vary long debug.log for lines related to libGL and the like any thing todo with the video drivers. Then make sure all of the files used are part of your video drivers and not just some file lying around from some other install.

It's better if you find a nick to register before you join channels to avoid spamming them to death :) [00:46] Guys, I think I might have to move back to Debian.

[01:29] that is the problem Slacker..I have no idea where the rompath is [01:29] Alx495, are you using xmame or sdlmame? [01:29] !latest | cvd_air [01:29] cvd_air: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa.

[01:31] @Logan_ - i understand that, but there are several critical fixes in 3.5.x [01:31] whenever I start up or come back from sleep [01:31] I tried that [01:31] although, I can't remember if I restarted...

I hope it isn't silly but I have not been able to find a resolution to the problem with having deadzones on my desktop. I can click my mouse for all of its worth and it will not do anything that it is supposed to do. I have seen others with similar issues but no fixes. Has anyone else had any luck actually fixing this yet? [01:32] cvd_air: There isn't an official way to do it. If you upgrade to Natty, the latest version in the repository is 3.5.8.

[01:33] right now im in windows [01:33] yeah, from a vanilla install it is definitely still around [01:33] open ssh or lamp [01:33] that's just embarassing [01:33] and quite a deal breaker I might add [01:33] gemini6669, if you ditch unity it goes away. [01:33] ?? [01:33] anyone tell me? [01:33] I wish that were the case [01:33] cvd_air, check if a PPA has the updated version you want - "/msg ubottu ppa" for details [01:34] I was plagued by that for weeks before reverting to cardapio+docky. [01:34] it was still very present in the new gnome as well [01:34] alexandros, sorta. why? [01:34] gemini6669, you got gnome3 working in 11.04? [01:34] o_0 [01:34] cvd_air: I highly doubt compiling from source would make it work out of the box. [01:34] yeah [01:34] because i want to copy files [01:35] !tab [01:35] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [01:35] urlin2u, any other ideas if the auto-connect/all users doesn't work? apt-get says nm is up to date... [01:35] magn3ts....any ideas on what to do about the ROMPATH? [01:35] it was working a week ago when I booted back into linux. I haven't been back because I was ticked about the mouse issue [01:35] laanan, not sure mine has always worked, wish I did. :D [01:35] magnets can u help me? [01:36] cvd_air: This may work for you, actually: https://launchpad.net/~automation/+archive/ppa/+build/2687261 [01:36] urlin2u, any idea why nmcli gets 'command not found?' [01:36] I really want to get the mouse thing fixed though, so... has anyone run across a real fix or is it just supposed to sort itself out on its own? because it has not [01:37] alexandros i think partition magic can do that [01:37] what? [01:37] do you know a program about it? [01:37] DCC from Alx495, screaming about rom path. [01:37] alexandros partition magic is the program [01:37] Dude, read a tutorial, or learn the tiniest bit about what you're doing first. [01:38] ok i go download it! === nonz is now known as temporarytao [01:38] Alx495, ROMS are the games that the emulator runs. They're not legal to download and probably aren't meant to be discussed here, though there are open source roms I guess. [01:38] alexandros PM can also write to linux partitions, but it is not convenient [01:38] magn3ts...there are some legal roms. [01:38] alexandros what partition do you have? etx2? ext3? [01:39] ext4 [01:39] yeah but shouldn't he be careful about what format his HDD is in? [01:39] i used to have a couple..just basic little games [01:39] Alx495, Ok, so you knwo what they are... [01:39] i do [01:39] Alx495, not sure what's the confusing part then. === Dion is now known as Guest46757 [01:39] like writing from linux to windows can sometimes kill your data.. [01:39] i just moved to ubunto [01:39] laanan, I get a response with that looks like this, I use the cli but I'm not a real expert in it. http://imagebin.org/173303 [01:39] The rom path is the path where you have them stored. [01:39] like Fat 32 to whateer, right? [01:39] right.... [01:39] the thing is i have no idea where this program wants me to save them [01:40] I take it that no one else is currently experiencing issues with deadzones on the screen with 11.04 in gnome 3 then? [01:40] alexandros then you need very fresh PM, cuz old versions can only handle ext2, ext3 [01:40] urlin2u, thanks...yeah, if I got that I'd be in businesss. [01:40] and since i cant even move around correctly ..it is kind of difficult [01:40] its version 8 [01:40] laanan, run nm -help [01:40] alexandros I tried pm8 on ext2 some years ago [01:41] alexandros i'm not sure that pm8 can handle ext4... [01:42] i have ext2explorer but with that thing i can copy only [01:42] gemini6669: gnome3 is not currently supportedn you are on your own [01:42] !gnome3 | gemini6669 [01:42] gemini6669: 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. [01:42] alexandros do you need also to write to ext2 partition? [01:43] what would be supported [01:43] yes [01:43] alexandros *ext4 [01:43] alooo [01:43] i get now error 117 === Zephr0`afk is now known as Zephr0 [01:43] alexandros error 117? then dont touch the partition [01:43] I honestly don't care at this point, I have tried a few, without switching over to KDE or going to something stipped down, what would you recommend [01:44] I grabbed the newest gnome that was in the repository list [01:44] and it didn't fix the issue [01:44] unity didn't work [01:44] There are a lot of proxy related bugs, can I start a proxy task force? [01:44] alexandros I would not recommend to correct these errors in PM, because it can ruin all info on that hdd [01:45] and I don't have as much time on my hands to fix showstopper problems as I did when I was in college [01:45] ok [01:45] alexandros you better try another piece of soft. [01:45] my mouse doesn't work, the forums have yielded zero answers [01:45] would you have any recommendations? [01:45] i found that http://www.ext2fsd.com/ [01:46] gemini6669, what is the graphic card, and are you using a serial mouse? [01:46] gemini6669 what do you mean dead spots? [01:47] can anyone help set up a hp 2410 all in one usb printer 11.04 ubuntu ? [01:47] urlin2u, what I am trying to do is add something like nmcli nm wifi on as a startup script...but it seems that nmcli isn't apart of my linux flavor or something...? It is based on Ubuntu..but it is actually jolicloud... [01:47] alexandros looks nice, but recently fixed writing bugs make me curious if there are any left [01:47] usb mouse, people still use a serial mouse? ati radeon 5670 using the default driver, the closed driver yielded more issues [01:47] !ask | jeremy-4201, [01:47] jeremy-4201,: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [01:48] it says that i have ext3 [01:48] alexandros: ext3 is effectively ext2 with a journal. [01:48] now how i mount my linux partition with that? [01:48] gemini6669, i meant what do you mean by deadzones [01:48] deadspots: I click on a program and it pulls up, any further clicks within the screen do nothing. there is zero response. sometimes it will actually click something that is one the window behind it [01:48] jeremy-77, the ask ubottu was for you actually, give details [01:48] what about ext4 corey [01:48] alexandros if you have ext4, then not so modern progs can tell it is ext3 [01:49] if I try to x out of the program, nothing happens [01:49] i just found it! [01:49] mrdeb: Effectively a list of incremental improvements (extents that work, for instance). [01:49] right click and nothing happens [01:49] close it out from the toolbar and nothing happens [01:49] hp psc 2410 photosmart printer worked fine in windows 7 but cant print with ubuntu 11.04 [01:49] gemini6669, I've actually have had the same problem, i just haven't gotten around to trying to fix it [01:49] gemini6669: what I noticed is when i switched from compiz to metacity it stoped [01:50] I can close it from the keyboard. that is usually how I get the focus back to the proper screen to move around and kill that window [01:50] look http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/13/adasdnv.jpg/ [01:50] gemini6669, surprisingly yes people still use serial a serial mouse that is why I asked you b=need a tweak to get it work, YOu are not giving details by the way. [01:51] @bombadil_rocks thanks, I will give that a shot. I kinda hate the idea of losing the pretty stuff but usability is more importany [01:51] important* [01:51] gemini6669, if you tab the nics the person your addressing will actually be notified [01:52] tab compete is the easiest gemini6669 [01:52] and then how do i unmount it??? [01:52] alexandros in the prog's faq on the site it says: Just "right click" on the dialog list, and select "Change Drive Letter". Then you'll see the mount point dialog, you can add, change or remove any driver letters. [01:52] urlin2u the first part was a joke, sorry I have kinda been out of the loop for awhile, sorry if I haven't privded you enough info [01:53] gemini6669, no problem but the channel is a bit busy for chat, :D [01:53] I haven't had to do this in more years than I care for. things actually just worked or the problem was quickly fixed and found in the forums [01:53] I haven't been on irc in a few years for a problem that I couldn't solve [01:53] alexandros I think it is done from the standard windows's drive manager [01:54] So, installed the open source ati drivers after fully purging all of the old ones from the systems, still locking up while running 3d apps but instead of it taking 30-240 minutes, now it is taking 20-30 minutes, twice now, need to figure out what is causing it... [01:54] alexandros if I remember it right, rightclick my computer, then manage [01:54] hp psc 2410 photosmart printer worked fine in windows 7 but cant print with ubuntu 11.04 how do I set up this printer ? [01:55] alexandros is this an irc for linux? ;-) [01:55] im using qwebirc [01:56] OvermindDL1, probably a dumb question but: it's not an overheating issue, is it? [01:56] those numbers seem suggestive [01:57] i can't write [01:57] it says that it was write protection [01:57] Hi guys... [01:57] My calendar (in Unity & Natty 11.04 desktop) is messed up. There are two problems; the first is that when the day changes I must click the calendar twice for it to reflect the correct date. So if I leave my machine on for 3 days and my calendar will be 2 or 3 days off. The second issue is actually fixed, I guess it just takes a minute to update the time settings (~60 seconds max perhaps). [01:58] alexandros maybe it wants you to run it with administrative privileges? [01:58] the bash command date is always accurate however. [01:58] test [01:58] t-minus, fail ;) [01:58] Is there a panel applet for transmission? [01:59] zykotick9 :) [01:59] @adam_, check the system options. it should be there. [02:00] you just mean system settings? [02:00] whats a good gui ssh client for ubuntu? [02:00] besides putty [02:00] adam_, no, i meant the settings for the transmission program. sorry [02:00] ah ok cool thanks! [02:00] im in add new printer and it shows LPT#1 and Serial port #1 but I dont see an option for usb and it dose not show my hp psc 2410 printer [02:00] built in to nautilus already. [02:01] File > Connect to server [02:01] jdm, xut_jc is replying to your question i believe. My question is why would ssh need a gui? [02:01] jeremy-4201, i think you need to install an HP-specific program for those types of printers to work [02:02] hplisp, i think? i've forgotten but i used to have one. try fishing around in synaptic [02:02] to make managing connections easier [02:03] jeremy-77: hplip, but check the website first to see if your printr is supported [02:03] jeremy-4201, uh word of warning. make sure to research the printer model first, though. different models, different drivers === kk is now known as Guest87246 [02:03] can not find system settings for transmission === Bry8Star{GB is now known as Bry8Star2g [02:04] ok i can write now! [02:04] alexandros, so what was the fix? [02:05] jdm: I suggest using ssh in a terminal and setting up a decent .ssh/config file. I found this much more flexible than managing connections in puty, once they were setup [02:05] How do i find transmissions settings? it only will give me settings for individual torrents [02:05] i selected the linux partition [02:05] i pressed f3 [02:05] and uncheck read only [02:05] run the transmission client, go to 'edit', then 'preferences' === Bry8Star2g is now known as Bry8Star{GB [02:05] you should see some tabs. choose the one named 'desktop' [02:05] where does pulse audio put error messages? [02:06] tick the option about showing transmission in notification area [02:06] alexandros, thanks [02:07] temporarytao, Sorry I am really dumb. I have not gotten used to unity yet :( [02:07] nothing... [02:07] somsip, thank you i will try that [02:07] i just wanted something to help automate things a bit [02:07] Kronsby, ah, you're using unity. :) well, you can try what i typed but i don't know if it'll work. i'm not in unity [02:08] hi, i am having this problem whereby i can only access certain websites... ping works but the webpage just doesnt load [02:08] It did I just did not see edit and preferences because they are on the panel which I am not used to [02:08] temporarytao, I am on 11.10 so its either unity or nothin [02:08] after doing an update, on restart a bunch of applets failed, including tray, clock, login/logout, user switcher, etc ... what can i do? [02:09] mh512, doyou have ipv6 off [02:09] !oneiric | Kronsby [02:09] Kronsby: Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) will be the fifteenth release of Ubuntu. Codename announcement here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/?p=646 Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [02:09] Kronsby, 11.10 channel is #ubuntu+1 if you need to know [02:09] actually, you can switch back to old-skool gnome. you can choose it when you login. type/choose your login name and look below. :) [02:10] jdm: a config will allow you to setup aliases so I can connect to my site with 'ssh somsip', and you can run it in your preferred terminal, and you can share connections so it only has to negotiate a connection the first time if you often have multiple connections to the same machine. there is a man ssh_config and lots of tutorial pages that I've used in the past. [02:10] Can i make the windows partition bigger? i mean to take space from linux part and insert to windows part [02:10] Is that possible [02:10] ? [02:11] alexandros, yes w/ ntfsresize, but there are risks [02:11] alexandros, possible and dangerous [02:11] dangerous? why/ [02:11] ? [02:11] urlin2u: yeah i have ipv6 off [02:11] you can resize the partition, but windows may break trying to use it [02:11] alexandros because ms made ntfs and they didn't tell us how to haxor it [02:12] ohh... lol [02:12] alexandros, also before you do it you need to boot into windows and run a disk cheeck [02:12] it's also slow as molasses [02:12] why? [02:12] magn3ts every ntfs resize i've ran has gone through pretty fast [02:13] alexandros, b/c linux can't do a proper disk cheeck of ntfs and if they are any errors it just won't resize it [02:13] alexandros it is required for proper operation of the filesystem post re-install [02:13] * re-size [02:13] after doing an update, on restart a bunch of applets failed, including tray, clock, login/logout, user switcher, etc ... what can i do? [02:13] ok [02:13] another question now [02:13] soon im getting an APU [02:13] proccesor [02:14] and mobo [02:14] can i use same linux installation that i have now for new pc? [02:14] I need to run a .jar file... how can I install java on ubuntu natty? [02:14] mh512, so what release are you running, what is the cpu, and ram, and what browser, if firefox which release. [02:15] alexandros remastersys can help you to move installed system to new hardware [02:15] !java | hot2trot [02:15] hot2trot: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu on 10.04 LTS and newer, see http://goo.gl/zwOip - For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. [02:16] xangua: thank you [02:17] how do I copy the partition layout from one disk to another if they're gpt? e.g. for non-gpt, I can just do `sfdisk -d (src_device) | sfdisk (dst_device)` [02:17] hi all, anyone familiar with Evernote? [02:17] I am looking for possible replacements that can handle html import, like evernote, without storing it on the cloud [02:18] GermainAdrian: Evernote does considerably more than that. [02:19] Corey: i know, but thats the core feature that i need. [02:20] can i make a new ntfs partition from the linux partition when my hdd is unmounted? [02:20] using gparted [02:20] would there be a difference between 32 bit or 64 bit ubuntu to make a hp printer not work. I use to print with ubuntu 10.04 32 bit [02:20] no, [02:20] alexandros, no [02:20] linurl2: ubuntu 10.10. i just re-enabled ipv6. doesnt seem to solve the problem [02:21] doesnt seem to be a browser problem anyway [02:21] seems to be a system issue [02:21] alexandros, or looking at it maybe but I wouldn't [02:21] alexandros, we are assuming you mean the one you are using no, any others unmount the partition then yes [02:23] alexandros, linux is incapable of doing an actual disk cheeck, so I wouldn't trust it to do a format either [02:23] hi, it's hard to describe my problem. ubuntu 11.04 natty. with gvim, the chars typed in are not really always up-to-date. eg: 1, if you add a new line, newline not shown. 2, if you type 'hello' really fast, it will show 'h llo'. to solve it, simply use mouse click the window border. it will refresh/update the UI somehow. any ideas? [02:23] mh512, which browser FF 6 is available in a ppa, I doubt it is a system problem other then speed do to a low cpu and ram, trying to load to much which can be blocked with noscript and addblock [02:23] urlin2u: it is a system problem. curl doesnt work. [02:24] it doesn't have this problem one week ago. I have no idea why it suddenly happens to me. [02:24] I'm trying to activate curl with php but it just won't acknowledge the extension is installed. [02:25] urlin2u: i have been using the same distro for some time now... it seems to be a recent development. [02:26] mh512, here is the maverick curl man if that helps. http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/maverick/man1/curl.1.html [02:26] how could I start dzen? just dzen2 in terminal i get nothing. [02:28] urlin2u: w3m, chrome doesnt work too. e.g. curl -I www.facebook.com gives a 302 [02:29] urlin2u: i suspect this problem happened after i played with some network configuration, but i am not sure [02:29] mh512, hehe probably. [02:30] mh512, no sure really an area I have not had problems in so I'm not real familiar with all of the aspects. [02:30] mh512: so it works in other OS's? [02:31] damn, it would be sweet to launch "Terminal" against another system... so you can start and switch terminals just as you do locally... is that possible? [02:32] Squarism: multiple ways to achieve that if I understand what you are saying [02:32] Squarism: ssh and screen sound like what you might want [02:32] SIFTU: yeah no problems on windows 7 and 11.10 beta-1 [02:33] mh512: and it's just curl, not the browsers? [02:33] Squarism: I agree with CarlFK [02:33] SIFTU, CarlFK: Screen is what im using now.. but i think the terminal switching is tedious.. [02:33] Squarism: the Ctrl+a+n thing?

[03:12] you [03:12] Anybody knows why firefox on ubuntu is so different from the one on windows? no orange button menu, bookmark menu is really ugly [03:12] r3m, theme [03:12] it auto mounts but only for 100mb. it's a 120gb drive. i can format all but the 100mb partition. also, i can't delete the 100 mb partition [03:13] urlin2u: personas is not even installed on ubuntu [03:13] russ5811, is there a swap on it [03:13] forgive ignorance...swap? [03:14] r3m: ubuntu devs use chromium, firefox devs absorbed by chrome browser war, nobody ports the features over? [03:14] any key combination to force quit or get to command line or something? or is the power button the only recourse for a freeze? [03:14] r3m, I know you don't even mention which versions on either OS, and really how would we know what your seeing. [03:15] r3m, ubuntu's is a customized version as well. === Exodus_ is now known as Exodus [03:16] thanks anyway [03:17] russ5811, swap is a partition that ubuntu would use like a page file in windows, a ram overflow area. give a screen shot of gparted looking at the HD. [03:18] mlncn: Ctrl+Alt+[F1-F6] will bring up a CLI session. Then you can either use "top" to find the program's PID, then hit the "k" key to enter its PID to kill it. Or, if you know the name of the program, use "ps -e|grep " to get the PID, and use "kill -9 " to force kill it. Then Ctrl-Alt-F7 to get back to GUI. [03:18] Hi. I am using a mac keyboard with ubuntu and suddenly the numpad is controlling the mouse and not responding to clear (which works as numlock) ... :o [03:18] I'm running ubuntu 11.04 with wubi and it's been great so far. Today I had a problem where ubuntu wouldn't boot up, and after running chkdsk on my win7, I found the recovered directory and put the contents back into /ubuntu, and now everything is working. Has anyone heard of this situation, and if yes, how do I prevent this from happening, if I can ? [03:18] Axlin: thanks! just resorted to the power button but unfortunately i think i'll have a chance [03:19] to try it again [03:20] TechCel, not many here use wubi the Ubuntu forums has a couple of people who know this stuff. === G7|SunnyDay is now known as G7|Cloud [03:20] maybe I'll just transform it into a partition and be done with it [03:21] urlin2u, where should i send screenshot?

[08:20] prasenjeetp: did you use the proxy tools ? where you can actually point the machine at a proxy ? [08:20] urlin2u: yes but the workarounds are not working [08:20] prasenjeetp: for browsers you may have to set the individually in the browser config [08:20] ikonia: yes, i tried gconf-editor too [08:21] prasenjeetp: ok - so in does your browser work [08:21] ikonia: it works fine for browsers now but when i try anything else (including flash , php code, telnet google.com 80 etc), it doesnt work [08:21] prasenjeetp: I don't know what you mean by "flash" as flash is run in a browser, as is PHP, so I don't know how your browser is working but you say flash/php isn't [08:22] prasenjeetp: telnet won't go through your squid proxy, as squid is setup as a http proxy, not a network router/masqurader [08:22] ikonia: i was trying telnet google.com 80 ... shouldnt that work [08:22] prasenjeetp: do you have a windows or "company" machine on the same network [08:22] prasenjeetp: no, that's not http, that's telnet === nand is now known as NBSP-02-X [08:23] prasenjeetp: telnet will have no knoweldge of your http proxy [08:23] ikonia: both are ubuntu systems, the desktop and the squid server ... different computers [08:24] prasenjeetp: ok, lets step back and let me get a bit of info [08:24] prasenjeetp: is this squid machine your box, that you setup ? [08:24] ikonia: yes, thats right [08:24] prasenjeetp: is this on a corperate/business network, or your own [08:25] ikonia: its on my own office (i have full control over it) [08:25] prasenjeetp: ok - so you've setup squid as a http proxy, is that correct ? [08:26] ikonia: yes, thats correct and its working fine for all browsers [08:26] prasenjeetp: so what is not working ? [08:26] prasenjeetp: as it should do. [08:26] "This unity shit hungs all the time, how do i get gnome3 shell, I'd rather ugly and workable that beuty and stress", Me thinks. [08:27] how can a access a .jar in ubuntu? [08:27] nmvictor: drop the language please. [08:27] newb: you use "java" to access a jar, it depends what the jar does and what you mean by access it [08:27] ikonia: ok, here is where things are not working for me ... what i want to do is "not" to have to configure anything on "any application" and it should "automatically" use the proxy for all HTTP requests [08:27] I installed java [08:27] prasenjeetp: what is not working for you [08:28] ikonia: example : if i use uploadify (or any other flash based code) or if i just want to use PHP's fopen for a URL [08:28] nmvictor, gnome shell in natty is problematic what an=bout the classic desktop [08:28] ikonia: Sorry, did i offend you, i was just thinking [08:28] I was try to play a .jar game and it wouldn't allow to change the permissions, but it would allow on my 500gb hhd [08:29] nmvictor: the language isn't aloud in the channel, that's all [08:29] urlin2u: actually am in oneiric [08:29] prasenjeetp: those applications won't be aware of a http proxy by default, [08:29] ikonia: you must have meant allowed not aloud, but i still get it. [08:29] nmvictor: try #ubuntu+1 for 11.10 support please. [08:29] nmvictor, your on the wrong channel the #ubuntu+1 [08:30] nmvictor: no, I meant allowed to be clear. [08:30] so I moved it to my desktop I was able to change the permissions for but when I start it says it can't load the background jpg [08:30] ikonia: so, whats the way out ? [08:30] for it* [08:30] prasenjeetp: it depends how far you want to go and what you really want to do. [08:30] prasenjeetp: you can look at network address based forwarding, setting up other services such as acient socks services, [08:30] whats the command to open volume applet? [08:31] ikonia: i want to go as far as i need to go ... since i am trying to set this up across my office and unless this works "Transperantly" , i cant get others to use it [08:31] urlin2u: ok, i'll hop over their, but just a query about gnome3 in general, is it workable in Oneiric? You seem to know its not workable in Natty. [08:31] ljsoftnet: check alsamixer [08:31] nmvictor, works on oneiric yes [08:31] freeroute how? [08:31] urlin2u: thanks [08:32] nmvictor, no problem. [08:32] ikonia: hmm, maybe finally we have to get a transparent squid proxy ... the werid thing is it works on "2 of our PCs" where ubuntu natty is installed [08:32] urlin2u: i wont bother you further, Im joining the right channel now [08:32] how to connect to wireless network with channel 13 ?

[09:29] ah... i can see the numbers of ppl here... 1494 [09:29] Susan_: just do a normal install and that's what will happen. ensure you install grub to the second drive and you'lll be done. [09:29] oops I mean Shinobi ^^ [09:29] shinkamui, use the something else option and it the next gui is a where to pint grub [09:29] is there an app to dim the lights when working late? [09:30] shinkamui, it=in [09:30] @khalig i use flux, but it changes color temperature, not brightness [09:31] Shinobi, use the something else option and in the next gui is a where to point grub [09:31] bilygates, ive tried that just now but it wont work on both screens [09:31] strange, i have dual monitors too and it works :s [09:32] but i'm using nvidia's twinview, maybe you're using two X screens? [09:33] bilygates, just stock ubuntu [09:33] bilygates, no special drivers but my card is an ATI one (it isn't using the proprietary drivers afaik) [09:33] hello [09:33] hi [09:34] hey , anyone here who can tell me how to keep window always on top in linux using script?? [09:34] skandee, you can enter a function into bash like: function calc() { echo $[$*]; } [09:34] harry_, you mean top of the grub menu/ [09:35] yes [09:35] skandee: You can then call calc like a regular command but don't use spaces in your formula, e.g. calc 2+3 [09:35] I'm having an issue with a usb-drive in ubuntu.. every now and then the drivw will just plain dissapear device and all [09:35] anyone know why this happens? [09:35] urlin2u do you have a link for the tutoriel? [09:35] the workable ubuntu is ubuntu and ubuntu studio generated from installed ubuntu [09:36] because.... other distribution of ubuntu doesn't recognize IPV6 [09:36] seems it soft powers off or something [09:36] skandee: It won't work with figures with figures using decimal points though. [09:36] is there any way to get it to not do this or wake it up? [09:36] @khalig hmm, there seems to be some problems with dual monitors and f.lux [09:36] @khalig you could try redshift http://www.mao-yu.com/projects/redshiftgui/ [09:37] does anyone has information about windows 8 hardware and ubuntu 11.04? [09:37] bilygates, yep but im a bit weary adding all these random repos to my list .. wish it was already in ubuntu [09:38] windows 8 blocked all linux booting [09:38] noone? [09:38] *sigh* [09:39] Susan_: ask in #hardware, it's offtopic here and not implemented yet at all [09:39] thumb drive? or external hdd? [09:39] Davst, dig around, look at dmesg for clues [09:39] hallman: external hdd [09:39] @susan are you talking about that secure-boot installed in the mobo? [09:39] so..... if linux doesn't release activating the booting on windows 8 hardware [09:39] at worst, it will probably have an option to disable it in bios [09:39] the ubuntu and other linux distribution will be ended up [09:40] this happens personal terminal basis.... [09:40] !ot | Susan_ those UEFI stuff is not to be discussed here [09:40] Susan_ those UEFI stuff is not to be discussed here: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [09:40] Shinobi, not really at the gui that asks where you want to install, you have several choices, along side, whole hd, and something else, choose that one click the grub dropdown make sure its pointed at the HD you want then choose the partition, change click ext 4 then format then put / for mount. [09:40] EFI is always troublesome [09:41] ah.. okay [09:41] hello all,i have a problem:How to confirm the character set from a string? [09:41] i've been researching EFI and booting [09:42] cya [09:42] Shinobi, you can unplug the drive as you suggest though if that works better [09:42] or disable it in bios [09:43] $c [09:44] okay i'll do that [09:44] thank you a lot urlin2u === Nika is now known as Nika68 [09:44] guys on ubuntu france gave me some uncertain solutions, whom i just couldnt understand [09:45] anyway i'm going to do that!! thanks again === Nika68 is now known as Nika [09:45] khaliG: found some messages i think are related in dmesg but I'm not sure what they mean at all [09:46] ich suche jemanden der deutsch spricht, am besten aus berlin [09:46] Shinobi, here are some pictures and a bit of a tutorial it looks like, notice the third picture where it says in it device for bootloader installation. http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2011/05/22/how-to-dual-boot-windows-7-and-ubuntu-11-04/ [09:46] !de | tipman [09:46] tipman: In den meisten Ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen.

[09:47] hi there [09:47] Total_Oblivion: you can't type or you just don't see what you type? [09:47] I am currently trying to make a usb drive that has an autorun script that calls a bash script upon mount [09:47] Total_Oblivion: you're not supposed to see what you type [09:48] danke [09:48] but for some reason the autorun in gnome gives me an error "cannot find autorun software" [09:48] although it works in xfce [09:48] has anyone experienced this before? [09:48] bilygates, redshift works on both screens. thanks for the help! [09:49] khaliG: yeah ofc.. http://pastie.org/2567536 [09:49] khaliG: The device works perfectly under windows, just in ubuntu it is being a pain in the ass. I tried reformatting it to ext4 to see if ntfs support in ubuntu was the weak link [09:50] @khalig np, good to know it works :) === vincent is now known as Guest69485 [09:51] @total_oblivion that's a security measure, just type your password and press enter [09:51] thanks a lot! I'm pretty useless on these stuff... [09:52] you'll get better ;) [09:53] Hi anyone know channel for embeded linux [09:53] hi !

[09:55] hi I can't delete a folder on my desktop [09:55] where is the Source.list file? === m00se is now known as Guest25859 [09:55] jwtiyar: /etc/apt [09:55] newb: set permission [09:55] newb:check permissions [09:56] it says I don't have permissions to delete & has a lock on it [09:56] bilygates: it is starting directly in console [09:56] i forgot mentioning that those stripes are in console [09:57] it won't allow me to change them [09:57] newb: right click and permissions [09:57] newb: r u a sudo user? [09:57] The file "Asshole2" cannot be moved to the trash. [09:57] newb : if u r a sudo user then just change it via chmod -R 777 /path/to/folder [09:57] Unable to trash file: Permission denied [09:58] newb: firstly change the ownership of that folder by chown [09:58] how I'm new to ubuntu? [09:58] chattr -i filename.ext [09:59] all this in a konsole [09:59] urlin2u::did find anything?? [10:00] chmod -R 777 /path/to/folder how do I type the file path it on my desktop? [10:00] i booted from a 10.10 live cd and i will try to remove some X config file to see what happen [10:00] @anubis you can't use the terminal at all? i was thinking of reinstalling the nvidia drivers [10:00] jiltdil: using chown/chmod to delete something is simply pointless. if you have sudo-access, "sudo rm -r path/dir " is much easier [10:01] hi everyone, i have a problem to start mprime on ubuntu livesystem v11.04. I already followed the instruction on this page [1], but I did not get any "feedback" from mprime and I can't see mprime running when I use top. [10:01] so how would I add the path/dir? [10:01] @bilygates: no, i cant use terminal. thats why i cant reinstall nvidia drivers [10:01] [1]:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1337958 [10:01] llutz: i just tell him the way how any file can be given ownership and access after this he will understood from this point of view i told that [10:02] jiltdil: telling someone to chmod 777 is not very helpfull [10:02] !permission [10:02] An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [10:05] @anubis after booting from livecd, maybe you could copy-paste the newly generated xorg.conf over the old one [10:05] @anubis i don't know if just removing it will work [10:05] looking for turbo freq info for amd quads for laptop, can you control it with cpufreqd or other software?

I'm using it as input to a program I'm writing.

A question about the command "sh" in Ubuntu 11.04: when I have multiple files, e.g. jobs.sh, jobs01, jobs02, jobs03 and I want to use one at a time with sh, on another machine the command stops right when the filenames become ambiguous, i.e. it stops at "sh jobs". On my Ubuntu machine, the "sh" command "intelligently" selects the file ending with .sh automatically. Why?!

[13:07] vigneshm: try adding the parameter single to the kernel command line , and also remove the parameter splash [13:07] ah, the other distro links "sh" to "bash" while ubuntu links to "dash" by default. How can I change that? How can I let sh link to bash? (besides dirty sudo relinking in /bin :) ) === cmjohnson1 is now known as Guest81602 [13:08] ichbinder: I dont think that is a good idea [13:08] tomodachi: enlighten me, please. :) [13:08] @tomadachi: im sorry.. can u be more detailed.. im a newbee to linux [13:08] ichbinder: scripts use that stuff. and bash and sh ar interpreter of scripts, if they differ, your scripts might break [13:09] how safe is it to backport say 2.6.38 into lucid lynx? [13:09] vigneshm: the kernel command line is the line that is eexecuted at the very beginning when booting [13:09] ichbinder scripts like init scripts, starting services etc [13:09] ichbinder: just re-link it manually. [13:09] @ichbinder: hmm..k [13:09] tomodachi: bash shouldn't be linked to dash, but dash can be safely linked to bash.. [13:09] If that makes any sense. [13:09] vigneshm: normally, grub2 should be used, so you should be able to edit that line pressing "e" [13:10] how do I tell which version of ubuntu is running? [13:10] via command line [13:10] buttons: lsb_release -a [13:10] cat /etc/issue [13:10] Pici, tomodachi: hm... funny note: the other distro is debian, yet sh still links to bash instead of dash... -.- [13:11] ichbinder: then your debian is rather old [13:11] thanks [13:11] Pici, tomodachi: do you maybe know why ubuntu links to dash, not bash? or llutz [13:11] @ichbinder: so how shud i make the edit? im currently running win8. had the ubuntu iso virually mounted and ran the usbcreate to load up my pen drive... [13:11] llutz: i'll check... [13:12] ichbinder: dash is the "new" systemshell, its smaller than bash, POSIX conform [13:12] hi guys [13:12] @ichbinder: do i make the param modification inside some file in the usb or.. ?

[13:15] ichbinder: shouldn't harm [13:15] llutz: thanks. One last question: why reconfigure dash? Shouldn't it be reconfigure sh or something? Or is sh installed by pkg dash? [13:15] ichbinder: bash can do all things dash can do, but not vice-versa [13:16] llutz: kay. Thanks llutz, tomodachi, Pici! Awesome #irc support. :D [13:16] ichbinder: dash is the package creating the link /bin/sh -> /bin/dash. so reconfigure dash [13:16] llutz: ah, kay. Thanks! [13:18] llutz: hm, when running "$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash" all I can choose is yes or no for the question if dash "(/bin/sh)" shall be used as default... nothing else. [13:18] ichbinder: "no" should relink /bin/sh to /bin/bash [13:18] llutz: so maybe dpkg-reconfigure dash and dpkg-reconfigure bsh? [13:19] llutz: o'rly! [13:19] llutz: damn. Thanks! [13:19] good afternoon [13:19] ichbinder: if not, "sudo rm /bin/sh && sudo ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh" :) [13:19] llutz: that's so hardcore... :D [13:20] hi all. ubuntu 11.04 on hp dv6700 with nvidia 630m after freash install hang on boot (after grub select OS) and show a bash screen with "initramfs" [13:20] anyone have any idea how to boot on ubuntu?

[14:05] Can anyone please help me with finger print reader ? [14:05] bilygates, that's what I do. But just curious. [14:05] is [14:06] @xannen it would be wrong to allow outside access to your pg server without any password :) [14:06] Pharmakon: I doubt if its what you want. It would run 2 differnt X sessions that you could for example, run 2 totally differnt desktops on. (one on each monitor) [14:06] Pharmakon: the snap to edge feature sounds like a compiz bug/issue. [14:07] dr_willis: ah [14:07] Pharmakon: i do seem to recall the edge snap working forme when i had 2 monitors. but ive not tried it lately. [14:08] bilygates, I have read that ident could also pose security risk, and there are suggestion to change mode to md5 in the hba.conf file and restart postgresql. [14:08] majkols [14:08] hello all === root is now known as Guest84811 [14:08] I have a question [14:09] dr_willis: bless the ubuntu developers for giving me as much functionality on one monitor as two running on the old GNOME 2 desktop, but my second monitor is less productive than one monitor if I cannot snap windows to the edges of the screen. It works fine with KDE on fedora and (**scoff**) windows 7.

[14:48] @pharmakon i have twinview too on 11.04 and snap is working between monitors :s [14:48] Uhm this should be obvious but I can't seem to find it. Lucid Lynx is based on which Debian release? [14:49] bilygates: snap is working, but what if you want to snap to the edge on the middle of the screen? [14:49] bilygates: ***middle of the desktop*** i mean [14:49] that seems to work too [14:49] How is the 11.10 beta? im thinking about re-isntalling and throwing it on there and updating through RC to gold. thoughts?

[14:50] but are you sure it's working on the other margins? [14:50] Like in **scoff*** windows 7 [14:51] maybe it's completely disabled? [14:51] Pharmakon: I'm not sure that will work as twinview see it as one screen [14:51] bilygates: It certainly is working on the right hand side of the right screen and the left hand side of the left screen. [14:51] bilygates: takes some wrangling [14:51] Pharmakon: xinerama is 2 screens merged, twinview is 1 screen [14:51] Pharmakon: maybe one of the guys bilygates popey can confirm if that worked [14:51] @ikonia it's working for me using twinview [14:51] I press ctrl-alt-6(keypad) twice to get it on the right hand side of the right screen [14:51] altought i'm using gnome classic, it that makes any difference [14:52] bilygates: so you can snap to the inside edge of both monitors ? [14:52] yup, working here too [14:52] @ikonia yup, the windows get 'glued' to the middle of de desktop, between the two monitors [14:52] bilygates: no, not between [14:52] bilygates: the edge of either the left/right monitor, on the inside [14:52] ikonia: xinerama? [14:53] Pharmakon: don't worry about that, just see if bilygates and popey confirm it's working [14:53] bilygates: I am using unity [14:53] 15:52:04 < popey> yup, working here too [14:53] @ikonia yes, that's what i meant, my english sucks :d [14:53] maybe it's a unity-thing? [14:53] bilygates: I think so [14:53] popey: sorry missed that [14:53] popey: plus there seemed to be some confusion as to the middle of the screen and the inside boarders of the two screens. [14:53] popey, are you using unity or gnome-classic? [14:53] it was under unity [14:53] i am not right this moment [14:54] Ok so in the compiz settings file there is way of changing some of the settings for the 'grid' which the windows snap to. [14:54] but I don't see anyway of configuring edges. [14:54] should I try this ' [14:54] ' [14:55] 'xinerama' thing?

[15:27] hello [15:27] ah ok [15:27] pythonsnake: after L comes M, Maverick, 11.04 is N, Natty [15:27] thanks === japro_ is now known as japro [15:28] and O, Oneiric [15:28] :) [15:28] The following packages have been kept back: [15:28] oops [15:29] I am 100% new to ubuntu just installed it i needed to know how to tell ubunto to read my ntfs partitions however this harddrive has 2 seperate partitions and it reads the second one witch is ntfs but the main one with my files dont show how to i make it show the other partition on ubunto please be specific as posible as this is new to me [15:29] I have added docky dev ppa but it won't upgrade: The following packages have been kept back: Docky [15:29] What's wrong ? [15:29] xoda exla ra vqnat unda viswavlo me wavedi :D [15:29] Hi! Do you know where is the __K__Ubuntu bugtracker.. if that thing exists at all? [15:30] Does install Ubuntu to a USB drive work the same as installing to an internal drive? [15:31] !ntfs | ApolloSmile [15:31] ApolloSmile: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [15:31] Polah: it does, but the boot loader is a tricky thing to manage in that situation [15:31] ikonia: How so? [15:31] Polah: well, where are you going to put the boot loader ? [15:32] ikonia: On the USB drive [15:32] reDING IT [15:32] thanks [15:32] a usb memory stick, or ausb external hard drive? [15:32] Polah: ok, so that means each time you want to use it you'll have to override your motherboard and tell it to boot from the USB drive, is that possible on your machine ? [15:33] ikonia: Well, USB is set to be selected for boot first. I can also choose which device to boot from temporarily as well [15:33] Polah: that should be easier to manage [15:34] ikonia: So in that case can I just configure GRUB as I would normally? [15:34] Polah: as long as it's on the usb boot loader, and your OS is self contained on the boot loader [15:35] Polah: sorry, I phrased that bad, as long as the boot loader is onthe USB drive and the OS is self contained fully on the USB, that should be managable [15:35] how can I mount a .cdr file in ubuntu? [15:35] ikonia: Ah good. Also, would it be possible for me to tell GRUB to boot from an ISO on my system arbitrarily, to install on this USB drive, without have to edit my grub config file? [15:35] has anyone used samba with encrypted partitions? [15:36] Hey. How do you cd to highest directory in terminal? [15:36] CosmicVoyager, cd / [15:36] CosmicVoyager: cd / [15:36] KirinDave was faster :) [15:36] CosmicVoyager, But you prooooobably want cd ~ [15:36] thanks i was hitting cd.. a zillion times [15:36] Also do consider pushd and popd [15:36] Kasi.. have you explored the mount command? [15:37] hello [15:38] so i need fuse now were to get fuse hehehe [15:39] Maniakes, I'll have to, I hoped that there would be a gui [15:39] have you tried just double clicking on the file? [15:40] unbunto software center shows to many fuse apps [15:40] idk witch one right one [15:40] Hello ppl. i cant find the ubuntu unity plugin in ccsm. am using natty [15:40] any clue? [15:41] it isnt present in the desktop tab [15:41] insyall it properly [15:41] pythonsnake: how do you know it's not installed correctly ? [15:42] because it's not present in ccsm [15:42] does that mean for certain it's not installed correctly ? [15:42] install what ccsm again? [15:42] ApolloSmile: In a terminal, type (without quotes) "sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g" [15:42] ty [15:44] ikonia: maybe you can give another suggestion ? [15:44] i don't know [15:44] pythonsnake: I would have liked a little more information before offering random advice, [15:44] this did not work in terminal sudp apt-get install ntfs-3g [15:44] opp [15:44] wrong letter [15:44] pythonsnake: I'll let you progress it through [15:44] ikonia: why.. [15:44] pythonsnake: you offered the advice, so see it through === jacob_ is now known as Guest79410 [15:45] .. [15:46] Meluha: how did you install the plugin [15:46] like the nick, IamTrying [15:46] Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: [15:46] mount: only root can mount /dev/sda2 on /media/sda2 [15:46] @ pythonsnake... i havent [15:46] hi! if i want to make sure PATH and JAVA_HOME is correct, is it correct to just enter code into ~/.bash_profile ? [15:46] Maniakes, universal true :) [15:46] im not able to find info [15:47] i guess something is wrong since the path is not updated as I log in [15:47] im using export PATH=.... and similarly for JAVA_HOME [15:47] Guest79410: ~/.bashrc === Mud is now known as Guest43688 [15:47] dnivra, oh, so .bash_profile is not executed? [15:47] ApolloSmile: type "sudo" before "mount". [15:47] upon login... [15:47] Does anybody know how I can get compiz to recognize that I have two screens. currently pop-up error messages are split between screens. [15:48] Meluha: reinstall Unity [15:48] Guest79410: i don't think there is a file called ~/.bash_profile. least I don't have it. anyway ~/.bashrc is the file you want :). [15:48] I have a server and an FTP server, how can I transfer a file from my server to my ftp server? [15:48] ok thanks! ill try it [15:48] pythonsnake: whoaaa [15:48] re-install Unity as a compiz plugin is not installed ? [15:48] dnivra: u mean ~/.profile ?? [15:49] exaclt how do i reinstall unity? [15:49] i was trying to use the storage device maniger [15:49] btw, does it matter where in the file i type in the code? [15:49] ikonia: yeah, maybe it's that http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1636558 [15:49] I was just going to say that I wasn't supposed to say that then they kicked me from offtopic [15:49] i just reinstalled unity-2d [15:49] but it didnt work [15:49] i messed up something on it and now the one that it did see is unmounted [15:49] lol [15:49] I can mount the cdr file with the loop mount, however, I would have to specify a mount directory. Is there a more convenient way to mount a file under /media? [15:49] pythonsnake: even if it was, there is no need to re-install all of unity [15:50] Hello. I have purchased a laptop with the Radeon HD 6470M graphics card that is not supported. If I install the proprietry drivers, some programs don't work. If I leave the generic drivers, I get a black screen on boot. Any suggestions? [15:50] ikonia: what do you suggests? ... [15:51] GreekFreak: the cards that aren't supported rarley work [15:51] suggest* [15:51] i-was-fedora: no. that file isn't read if .bashrc exists [15:51] pythonsnake: either a.) installing the plugin b.) re-installing the package that contains the plugin [15:51] oh no I mean ~/.bash_profile. [15:51] what is the package ? [15:51] ikonia: I'm new to Linux, but I was under the impression that something would exist somewhere. I can't exactly return the laptop. [15:51] like I said i-was-fedora ~/.bashrc does what Guest79410. I've done it anyway so am quite sure it works. [15:52] GreekFreak: if the cards not supported, then no, $something won't exist [15:52] how do you talk to someone who's not in this channel? [15:52] GreekFreak: the ATI cards are quite specifc in their support [15:52] hehe maby i should use ubunto on my server machine instead === Micki_ is now known as Micki [15:52] dnivra: i don't remeber , but that's not 100% right ... bashrc related to (tty emulator) .. pts , and profile realted to (tty) themself .. something like that ;) [15:52] i installed the ati driver and it now isent as smooth desktop as it was [15:53] i have an ati 5670 [15:53] ikonia: is there somewhere I can find out when they will support it? [15:53] idefix: /query foobar [15:53] GreekFreak: you can contact ATI ? [15:53] ikonia: lol [15:54] GreekFreak: that was a serious suggestion [15:54] lol [15:54] i-was-fedora: i am not too sure about profile :). i know bashrc does work just like you said: tty and pts. [15:54] ikonia: I'll have to wait for the States to wake up then [15:54] GreekFreak: probably yes, but sending the email asap is worth while as it will take a few days at least to get a response, if you do get any [15:55] ikonia: thank you [15:55] hi again, does anyone know how to update java (JDK) version? i have the 1.7 binaries at /usr/local/java , but 'which java' results in /usr/bin/java [15:56] if i want to fix this do i have to do something more than just updating PATH and JAVA_HOME? === ^Ciccios^ is now known as ^Ciccios`work^ [15:56] jacob__: either update your path or look at /etc/alternatives [15:57] will this work in ubuntu AMD Catalyst™ 11.8 Proprietary Linux x86 Display Driver [15:58] the linux driver [15:58] ikonia, i guess the problem is that i cant remove /usr/bin from my path, and that takes precedence over the correct path [15:58] does somebody knows a chan where people can help with php issues? [15:58] antonio_: #php [15:58] #php [15:58] lololol [15:58] jacob__: you don't remove /usr/bin from your path, you change the order and put /usr/local/bin first [15:58] it's ##php [15:58] not #php [15:58] oh, duh, thx :) [15:58] pythonsnake, it says that requires an invitation [15:59] antonio_: ##php [15:59] antonio_: the channel is ##php, not #php [15:59] ok, now it says "##php :Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services" [15:59] i need to register into freenode?

[16:01] oh. *card reader I mean [16:01] pythonsnake: you can do .bashrc or . .bashrc it's the same thing [16:01] what's the best place to go when you have a non-working card reader but know which driver is used on windows? I'm talking about http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/us/en/DriversDownloads/drivers_show_4322.html [16:02] sauerbraten: there is no where to go, other than the vendor to ask them to make a compatible kernel module [16:02] .bashrc results in "command not found" [16:02] ikonia: "source ~/.bashrc" [16:02] jacob__: "source ~/.bashrc [16:02] ./.bashrc results in "Permission denied" [16:02] pythonsnake: you've said that 3 times, and I understand what your saying [16:02] jacob__: ". .bashrc" [16:02] jacob__: "source ~/.bashrc" [16:02] pythonsnake, thx, *trying [16:02] jacob__: . .bashrc [16:02] Hi all, having some video troubles.

[16:09] prasenjeetp, do you like unity? [16:09] I do [16:09] a lot, but it needs fixes [16:10] macer1: am afraid i have no idea what unity is [16:10] prasenjeetp: arch [16:10] * prasenjeetp goes looking [16:10] "Permission denied (13)" when I transfer files over bluetooth to my android phone. What do I do? [16:10] How do I create a launcher with this command ??? "LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so skype" without quotes [16:10] HoNgOuRu: stop. [16:10] HoNgOuRu: Please stop repeating so often. [16:10] pythonsnake: please don't offer random nonsense advice [16:10] ok [16:10] prasenjeetp: OK this is new interface of future releases of ubuntu. Mint comes with classic gnome2 desktop, and codec pack(which you can install from ubuntu repos) [16:11] ikonia: ? [16:11] Mint is based on Ubuntu AFAIK [16:11] pythonsnake: suggesting arch [16:11] mint also has a new version which is based on debian [16:11] why not arch ? [16:11] HoNgOuRu: Launchers cannot take commands with arguments, so just put your entire command into a script and you can run that script using the launchaer. [16:11] Hi all, having some video troubles. I boot into 11.04 and am stuck in 1024x768 resolution, and the failsafeX UI. Monitor settings say "Monitor: Unknown", and I cannot set anything. The laptop used to work fine. It has a Intel Mobile 4 chipset. [16:11] pythonsnake: that wasn't his question, please don't randomly push that to people [16:11] Pici, I want to assign a key to run that command [16:11] oh ! [16:12] I can do the script thing, yeah, thank u [16:12] ikonia: ok [16:12] HoNgOuRu: Okay, so put that command into a file, set it as executable, and assign your key to run the script :) [16:12] @prasenjeetp i'm a programmer and ubuntu suits me nicely, but i'm pretty sure mint would do too [16:12] Pici, yeah thanks [16:12] macer1: yes, mint is based on ubuntu too ... we have been using mint for over a year now but considering between ubuntu and mint now that we are planning to do fresh installs/upgrades [16:13] prasenjeetp, if you don't hate unity, I think it is better to install Ubuntu ;) [16:13] prasenjeetp: Maybe Ubuntu Lucid ? [16:13] macer1: hmm, let me understand the statement :-) [16:14] macer1: ubuntu != unity [16:14] you can always dump unity and install gnome3 [16:14] or maybe gnome2 if anyone ports it [16:15] bilygates: or use lucid [16:15] yeah, if you don't care for updates, use lucid by all means [16:16] bilygates: luicd will get more updates than any other current ubuntu distro [16:16] ikonia: "will" ? [16:16] pythonsnake: yes, [16:17] when exctly ? [16:17] pythonsnake: as updates are needed [16:17] well yes, it's LTS, but aren't the majority of updates only bugfixes? [16:17] ikonia: pythonsnake bilygates : where do i get to see more about these variations [16:18] prasenjeetp: ubuntu.com [16:18] prasenjeetp: linuxmint.com [16:18] ikonia: am on the site and still looking for all these unity ... lucid etc (found unity already) [16:19] prasenjeetp: unity is a desktop, not a release. [16:19] prasenjeetp: the ones on the website will be 10.04 and 11.04 [16:19] hello [16:20] ikonia: yeah, i think i have installed unity on ubuntu (is that the right way to say it) on some PCs [16:20] prasenjeetp: unity is available by default in 11.04 [16:20] wonder what other choices exist and where i can find them (and some comparision) [16:20] prasenjeetp: it is part of the 11.04 "natty" release. [16:20] ikonia: yeah, that explains how i got it :-) [16:21] I need help with wireless adapter usb on ubuntu 10.10 [16:21] Will ubunto boot on another machine without issues? like drive swap [16:22] ApolloSmile: depends on the hardware, mostly yes [16:22] ok [16:22] the hardware im sure is supported [16:22] ApolloSmile: not quite that simple [16:22] ApolloSmile: but it should mostly work and just need a few tweaks [16:22] probably best i do a reinstall on the machine [16:23] ApolloSmile: a machine with BIOS versus a machine with EFI/UEFI will cause issues, for sure. [16:23] unless [16:23] someone can remote support me [16:23] in mounting my other drives and getting proper drivers [16:23] ApolloSmile: you shouldn't need "drivers" unless your video card is significantly different or you have a closed source product in the new machine [16:23] my desktop used to run smoothly [16:23] ApolloSmile: ive swapped hd's befor with very few issues. [16:24] now when i install the ati driver it slow [16:24] note to self: do not put a mount --bind to some folder in /etcfstab without actually mounting the drive it needs first, or your headless server will get stuck on startup waiting to mount something.... :D [16:25] ok, next would be to try and find out whats the best way to install ubuntu on 60 computers, they have no DVD drives and i would prefer to install them all IDENTICAL with a few other stuff (webmin, LAMP etc) [16:25] prasenjeetp: you know webmin is not supported or recommended on ubuntu yes ? [16:26] 60 computers omg [16:26] ikonia: no, i wasnt aware :-( [16:26] prasenjeetp: I would look at either kickstart for a re-occuring build with changes, or an image based software such as clonezilla to just keep cloning the drives [16:27] ikonia: why isnt webmin supported ? any article to read ? [16:27] hi how do you call that network authenctication where you can connect to wifi but than can connect to only one site where you login and can use internet? [16:27] !webmin | prasenjeetp [16:27] prasenjeetp: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [16:27] prasenjeetp: it's a project filled with security issues, and the way ubuntu lays out certain config files is incompatible [16:27] prasenjeetp: also, Webmin is a security nightmare. [16:27] ApolloSmile: yeah, we want to standardize things [16:28] SpiderFred: 2 factor ? [16:28] ikonia: so, any other suggestions ... want people to be able to do stuff like create virtual domains, databases etc === MonkeyDu1t is now known as MonkeyDust [16:28] prasenjeetp: is these for peoples desktops, or for something like a web hosting business ? [16:28] prasenjeetp: I'm asking as the purpose will define the tools [16:28] mneptok: this is within the office LAN ... does the security become a concern there too [16:29] prasenjeetp: yes [16:29] prasenjeetp: even more so. as someone with malicious intent already has some degree of access. [16:29] ikonia: no I mean just one authentication through webclient to use internet [16:29] ikonia: its for individual desktops for programmers but they each use their computers as development servers [16:29] hahah ubuntu is using the easy window snap as windows 7 wonders [16:29] lol === james_ is now known as edwardthefma [16:29] renc [16:29] prasenjeetp: then they should be using tools such as mysql's database tools [16:30] hi [16:30] prasenjeetp: or depending on their systems administrators to manage things like the configs [16:30] i need help[ [16:30] prasenjeetp: developers do not need webmin, they need sudo. and build the tools and data needed into your kickstart image (i.e. pre-add the local user accounts to the "mysql" group) [16:30] ikonia: sadly, most do not have any insight .. they come from windows background ... i am fighting it hard to get them all to linux [16:31] prasenjeetp: the mysql tools are gui driven, so should be quite normal to them [16:31] prasenjeetp: Webmin will cause you and your users headaches within a few months. if not weeks. [16:31] prasenjeetp: mysql on windows is the same tools/config as mysql on linux [16:31] ikonia: some are, like Workbench. [16:31] ok [16:31] mneptok: which is the tools I suggested [16:32] prasenjeetp: not to be the devil's advocate here..... but would it not be easier to keep them on Windows if they can be productive there? I know we sysadmins always want to convert people, but it isn't always in the best interest of busines. [16:32] any input on apache management [16:32] like creating virtual hosts etc [16:32] Uh, how would I reinstall a package so it is purged and redownloaded without removing any of it's dependencies? [16:32] Maarten: it's a valid point. [16:33] Maarten: the license costs for each desktop is huge ... we are finding it hard to handle ... also, once its streamlined, i think people get used to linux too [16:33] prasenjeetp: if a DBA cares about what OS they use, they're not a very good DBA. ;) SQL syntax is SQL syntax, and any text editor can write it. it's the distance between the power-on button and getting to that comfy editor that you need to worry about. [16:34] I'm rather curious how my DHCP internet works automatically in Ubuntu yet when I tried Gentoo or Arch Linux it didn't. [16:34] prasenjeetp: one option is to setup 4 virtual domains as part of the build you deploy and limt them to that [16:34] Ubuntu has no /etc/rc.conf after all [16:34] prasenjeetp: I assume you mean apache domains [16:34] mneptok: true ... but there is always a mental block that i have to handle delicately [16:34] SchalaZeal: it's controlled by gnome in network manager on the desktop [16:34] ikonia: thats right, apache virtualhosts [16:34] ah [16:34] thanks [16:34] prasenjeetp: setup 4 as part of the default build [16:35] ok [16:35] yeah there is the license cost, true..... but that amounts to about 3 hours of a web developer's salary, perhaps once a year if you have a MS subscription..... Just saying, as much as I love linux, (I have mixed environment here as well), it isn't always the best solution if you have a large group of windows-minded people. [16:35] In AWN is there a way to magnify on hover, like on mac osx dock? I've only managed to get a really really small magnification, and only the icon I'm mousing over.... [16:36] mang0: no [16:36] hey. does someone want to save my ipod classic from flying out the window? it has given me endless trouble with ubuntu, and now doesn't mount any longer... [16:36] prasenjeetp: or, identify the most Windows-entrenched staff, and get them VMs in Virtualbox under Ubuntu. let them transition gradually. [16:37] mneptok: Maarten they have got used to linux now ... we have been using mint for over one year now [16:37] just that we always had webmin (on mint) [16:37] mang0: docky does afaik, and cairodock may too [16:37] prasenjeetp: just try it ! [16:37] how do I remove all the desktop packages to get to a minimal "ubuntu server" state? (ubuntu desktop currently installed) [16:37] prasenjeetp: if your comfortable with it, use it, just be aware of the issues and risks it causes [16:37] ActionParsnip: true [16:37] hmmm... now I have this thin client, and I am re-purposing it as a small linux server, was thinking of putting a webcam on it and using it as a poor man's security system.... any software recommendations? [16:37] synackfin: uninstall xorg and the rest will be marked for removal [16:38] synackfin: easier to start from 0 with minimal.iso [16:38] prasenjeetp: Ah, if they are already used to linux,no prob :) [16:38] Maarten: PM? [16:38] ActionParsnip: cairodock does do it, but It's quite cpu intense (for my machine!) Will try docky. Thanks :D [16:38] pythonsnake: try what ?

[17:01] tbruff13: add the line: http://ppa.launchpad.net/vinux/vinux-lucid/ubuntu lucid main change lucid to your release (the PPA has all the way up to Oneiric).

This is support channel. For offtopic stuff, see #ubuntu-offtopic ;) [17:03] tbruff13: you need to add the word 'deb' to the start of the line, so it will look like this: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/vinux/vinux-lucid/ubuntu oneiric main [17:03] pythonsnake: 100% better. thank you. [17:03] oh ok [17:03] IdleOne: no problem. [17:04] tbruff13: you should contact the maintainers of the wiki so they change that [17:04] Hi. How can I find out what the version numbers of the kernel and mesa will be in Oneiric? I need a specific version and above, but I'd rather let ubuntu upgrade tehm for me as opposed to experimenting [17:04] hi [17:04] designbybeck, I can set mine by going to system preferences windows or in a terminal gnome-window-properties [17:04] i will [17:04] how are you [17:04] GreekFreak: ask in #ubuntu+1 [17:04] ?

[17:09] pythonsnake: I found it :D ty [17:09] pythonsnake: Indeed it is.... :/ [17:09] deke111: use ubuntu-tweak to delete old kernels [17:09] ActionParsnip: asking [17:09] hey can anyone tell me how to check HOW MANY MEMBERS are in a channel??

[17:10] deke111, I use ubuntu tweak to remove kernels or synaptic, grub2 will just need a sudo upfate-grub [17:10] uodate-grub [17:10] update-grub [17:10] deke111, do it with synaptic and then Ubuntu will edit grub for you, just find the kernel numbers you don't use after search kernel [17:10] hot2trot: virtualbox or vmware or qemu maybe, you'll need a windows license and install media, there is also cedega and crossover office which run like wine but are paid for [17:11] unk: /help [17:11] GreekFreak: safe [17:11] unk: I'm a member :) [17:11] hmm ? [17:11] why the floodbot opping [17:11] ActionParsnip: thank you [17:12] pythonsnake: awesome. It will update again correctly then, if it sees I need a higher kernel version? (Sorry, I'm new to Ubunut( [17:13] GreekFreak: add linux kernel to ignore list ? [17:13] deke111: if you run: uname -a you can see the CURRENT kernel, if you run: dpkg -l | egrep 'linux-image--2|linux-image-3' you can see the INSTALLED kernels. You can use software centre to uninstall the INSTALLED kernels but do NOT remove the RUNNING kernel. You don't need some 3rd party nonesense [17:13] you can have multiple kernel [17:14] deke111: this will get you ~120Mb per kernel in space and Grub will be cleared up for you [17:14] pythonsnake: you answered inadvertedly ;) I don't want to ignore the updates, but I don't want it to downgrade it either. [17:14] GreekFreak: maybe a ppa, dunno [17:14] ActionParsnip, You don't need some 3rd party nonesense lol dude [17:16] pythonsnake: thanks for your help. [17:16] GreekFreak: updating your kernel is not safe [17:17] GreekFreak: it is very very strongly not advised [17:17] ActionParsnip: thanks - I have 12 uninstalled kernels - guess I have some houscleaning to do. [17:17] ikonia: o.O [17:17] ActionParsnip, your command brought up no kernels here as well. [17:18] GreekFreak, ikonia: Unless its via updates that come in through the repositories. [17:18] ikonia, pici: I'll wait for the updates then. I was looking to do it manually for some graphics card drivers [17:18] Pici: correct, which as the update GreekFreak wants is from a later distro, not safe [17:20] hi all. i need help with a freezing hp pavillion dv 6700 after fresh install of 11.04. right after choosing ubuntu on grub page all i see is the purple screen. forced to ctrl+alt+del.

[17:22] Polah: a chap the other day used a very nice rsync script as a udev event trigger [17:22] Use alternate distr [17:22] Polah: so when his hard disk was plugged in, the udev event triggered a sync, it was a nice solution [17:23] ikonia: I thought I could use rsync but I've never used it so I don't know it's capabilities. I guess I'll have a look around for how to do it [17:25] ActionParsnip, llutz: what I was doing wrong was the string comparison... wrong brackets and whitespacing. I've got a working version now: paste.ubuntu.com/694619 [17:25] that was harder than it should have been.. [17:28] ikonia: Alright, I found an application named unison which uses rsync to sync files. How can I set a script up to run when the drive is plugged into my system? [17:28] hey, im trying to authenticate against AD with ldap, can someone point me in the right way [17:28] hypertyper: finally ... :D [17:29] Polah: use an udev-rule [17:29] Polah: why do you need an application, why not just use rsync ? [17:29] hi! I just got a ubuntu vps. Is there a good app that would help me track memory/cpu usage (and possibly other statistics). Possibly with a web interface? [17:30] ikonia: I could, but I figure I'll see how it goes with this first [17:30] holas [17:30] hello world [17:30] Polah: take this as an example http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=989780 [17:30] Polah: why add a layer of complexity. [17:30] Putr, you could try something like nagios for monitoring [17:30] Polah: why add a script that calls an application that calls rsync, when you can just call rsync [17:31] cormyn: thanks, i'll check that [17:31] Putr: munin is nice if you like graphs. [17:31] I've been having upstream internet problems, but network manager doesn't tell me when I get disconnected from the external network (I can still reach the LAN). How do I fix this? [17:31] Pici: i like graphs :) [17:31] Putr: no problem [17:31] is nagios in the repo and free? [17:32] quick question: anyone know of an easy way to detect if a laptop has an extra monitor plugged in on boot to toggle between which xorg.conf file to load for single screen vs dual screen mode? [17:32] im connected to LAN with other computers that use Windows, but when i go to network/samba, i dont see any of them, i just get the message: Unable to find any workgroups in your local network. This might be caused by an enabled firewall. But i dont know of any firewall installed. Any idea? [17:32] Putr: yes, it's totally free and nagios3 should be in apt [17:32] Putr: you can also write your own plugins for things to monitor, their documentation is very good [17:33] cormyn: so nagios is a service with a web frontend? [17:33] I've been having upstream internet problems, but network manager doesn't tell me when I get disconnected from the external network (I can still reach the LAN). How do I fix this? [17:33] or how is the gui done= [17:33] Putr: yes, web front end for nagios [17:34] awsome. Let me get that installed :) [17:34] and last thing.

I am running 11.04 with an Intel Mobile 4 chipset, and cannot change my resolution or boot with Unity. Monitors window says "Monitor: unknown" and no setting can be changed [17:34] Nagios is extremely configurable and a powerful monitoring tool [17:35] Putr: Nagios is Perl-based, but it's pretty easy to install and maintain. I recommend a tool like "nconf" to configure nagios though, as manually tweaking the configuration can be tricky === anonymous is now known as Guest53107 [17:35] helllllllllo [17:35] Putr: not sure if nconf is in the main apt repo, but it uses php/mysql to manage your hosts, services, etc., and is WAY more intuitive for setting up Nagios: http://www.nconf.org/dokuwiki/doku.php [17:35] corymn: never heard of nconf b4. What does it do? [17:36] cormyn: install yes, configure no [17:36] ab847: are you fully updated? [17:36] hi everybody [17:36] I've been having upstream internet problems, but network manager doesn't tell me when I get disconnected from the external network (I can still reach the LAN).

[17:37] cormyn: sounded like it was easy in totality lol [17:37] cpglsn: get rid of -h now [17:37] im actually working on an acidbase today [17:37] prof exist and is a parte of admin group [17:37] and nagios3 [17:37] box [17:38] cpglsn: I believe you only add the command, you don't add the switched [17:38] *switches [17:38] cormyn: well it requested a password :) [17:38] cpglsn: the admin group doesn't matter, as your calling you by name [17:38] cache_surplus: I've been using nagios since back in 2000/2001 when it was called netsaint, believe me, I know it's a PITA to configure, heheh [17:38] yep me too [17:38] agrees [17:38] I've an additional drive in my computer. Is there a gui tool for partitioning the drive, or do I have to use fdisk? [17:38] thats why we get paid the big bucks ;) [17:38] ActionParnip: Yes [17:38] Putr: read the docs for nagios, it'll tell you all of that stuff [17:38] kasi: gparted [17:38] prof ALL=NOPASSWD:/sbin/shutdown same problem [17:38] how do I make ubuntu text-based? (instead of bringing up X11/gdm) [17:38] ActionParsnip: Yes [17:38] ActionParsnip, thanks [17:39] cache_surplus: amen to that ;o) [17:39] ActionParsnip: switched ? [17:39] wow i havent heard that term in a long time, NetSaint... [17:39] cpglsn: note the correction on the next line [17:39] cormyn what about cacti ... any easyer? [17:39] or Satan for that matter [17:39] cpglsn: delete the line and exit visudo - make sure it's not erroring without that line [17:39] ab847: I suggest you read: gedit /var/log/Xorg.0.log [17:39] Putr: I haven't used cacti, but as I understand it, cacti does more graphing based on what tools like nagios find for you [17:40] cacti is nice, so is cricket [17:40] ikonia: did it, but when i put it again the error stay [17:40] cache_surplus: Satan was the original author/maintainer, that's why it's a #$*& to configure [17:40] all the same to me, they monitor and nag you about your services/box is down [17:40] i have a copy of it somewhere on my tar box [17:40] ActionParsnip: sorry, but i still don't understand "you don't add the switches" [17:40] cpglsn: but when you exit without that line, it saves correctly ? [17:40] ikonia: yes [17:40] i still use the perl script to view snort logs with [17:40] cpglsn: are you using spaces or tabs ? [17:41] ikonia: spaces [17:41] cpglsn: it's a tab [17:41] ikonia: between line elements ? [17:41] cpglsn: you are adding the ability for a command to not need password in sudo, the command is the binary 'shutdown' the switches ar '-h now' which you do not need to add in the sudoers file [17:41] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/wW8Fur2k [17:41] cpglsn: correct [17:41] cpglsn: (not sure it makes a difference, but all my rules have tabs) [17:41] ActionParsnip: oh ok, thanks [17:42] ikonia: now i try [17:42] Ubuntu is installed on sdb, but the computer tries to boot from sda. How can I install grub on sda to then boot sdb? I can boot by going into the bios boot selector each time and then select the second drive. [17:42] ikonia: same error [17:42] cpglsn: I've just tested it on my machine and it works fine [17:43] the problem is that, the same line in different positions sometimes change the result (error or not) [17:43] this is strange [17:43] oco2: testuser ALL=NOPASSWD:/sbin/shutdown -h now [17:43] oops [17:43] cpglsn: testuser ALL=NOPASSWD:/sbin/shutdown -h now [17:44] that just worked fine for me [17:44] I'm look at the rsync man page and there's the -u option for update, but it also lists -append, --inplace and --append-verify, are all of these options used with -u or are they similar options which I would have to specify separately?

[17:45] cpglsn: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sudoers actually shows how you can add this... [17:45] Polah: the man page explains the differences [17:45] ab847: use the web to find out [17:46] cpglsn: can't explain that, I've just moved mine to the top of the file and it's fine [17:46] ActionParsnip: you roks ! [17:46] ikonia: yes, but they're all listed under -u, there's -u update then just beneath that --append and so on with no shorter version. Is -u only short for --update, or --update --inplace --append --append-verify? [17:46] cpglsn: suprised you didn't check that first [17:46] Polah: -u is only short for update [17:46] ikonia: ActionParsnip the problem was that, installing joe, it autoset itself as default editor, and, as i can see, joe is not good with sudoers [17:46] Polah: also be aware of #rsync [17:46] ikonia: Alright thanks [17:49] cpglsn: you have to use visudo to edit the sudoers file [17:49] th0r: i know =) [17:49] !Virtualbox [17:49] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer.

A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [17:49] ikonia: ActionParsnip now everything works well. Thanks a lot for help [17:51] ActionParsnip: I found a recommendation to dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, which doesn't seem to do anything, and --reinstall xserver-xorg which says "Invalid operation xserver-xorg". I have done both of these before though, and neither did anything to help. Can you think of anything else to try? [17:51] cpglsn: np bro [17:51] =) [17:52] ab847: you may need an xorg.conf file to specify the driver if udev is not doing its job. [17:53] ActionParsnip: I've generated one, and tried filling it in, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. The result seems to be the same with the xorg.conf or without [17:53] i dont have proxy in my .bashrc , i removed my /etc/environment...but still when i open a new terminal the $http_proxy is set [17:54] please help me i want to get rid of this proxy [17:55] pk___: did you set it in the GUI app? [17:56] ActionParsnip: yeah [17:56] ab847: search the web, you'll find sample files, if your system has a make and model, try searching for that in conjustion with xorg.conf [17:56] test [17:56] does anyone else have significant display issues when running under unity? For example, vmware player keeps "tearing [17:56] ActionParsnip: but i dont have access to gui right now [17:56] pk___: do you have SSH access? [17:56] tearing itself off its window border and attempting to display its contents elsewhere [17:56] ActionParsnip: yeah === Alpha is now known as Guest54832 [17:57] pk___: connect with: ssh -X -C username@host then you can run the command which launches the app and it will appear on your client X server (I assume the client is Linux based with running x server) [17:58] ActionParsnip: why do we want to launch this gui? [17:59] sed -i 's@dbname='abox1029@dbname='rgonet@g' *.php I am using this sed to replace the strings, but it is not switching the strings. What could be the problem? i am verifying this by doing 'grep dbname| grep abox' [17:59] pk___: so you can undo the setting as you set the proxy in the GUI, the setting may be stored in gconf someplace or another place. Its a simple case of undoing what was done [18:00] i have 64-bit ubuntu and i made bash script that goes other directory, but when the script ends im still at my root home folder and not under home subdirectory [18:00] ActionParsnip: ohh you mean this app will run on my computer with this comamnd? === }Relic{ is now known as [Relic] [18:01] pk___: yes, you will be using X forwarding [18:01] nullp0inter: Your quoting characters are probably messing things up. You may need to escape the ones inside your sed expression. [18:02] Pici, i tried using \ to escape them but the switch still doesnt happen [18:02] mbeierl: never had an issue with unity [18:02] nullp0inter: Try replacing the outer quotes with doublequotes. [18:02] pici tried that already as well [18:02] Pici, no go [18:02] nullp0inter: let me try something here.. one moment [18:03] ActionParsnip: Looking around a bit more; someone has the same problem but in OpenSUSE and he said he fixed it by recreating /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-device.conf. I do not have /xorg.conf.d/, is this different in Ubuntu or do I have to create this? [18:03] Guest12849: so the script has a line like: cd ~/Downloads and when it ends, you aren't in that folder [18:03] ab847: create it, see what happens [18:03] ActionParsnip, YES! why? always it has work but not anymore :/ [18:04] nullp0inter: sed -i "s@dbname='abox1029@dbname='rgonet@g" works for me. [18:04] Guest12849: let me test [18:04] ActionParsnip: unfortunately, this is becoming unusable. I've tried with both radeon and ati proprietary fglrx (which makes things even worse) and no luck [18:05] mbeierl: tried with ubuntu classic? [18:05] Pici, that worked for me...but how is that different from what i had? [18:05] ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/694650/ [18:05] pici i see the diff, i didnt try double quote non escaped single quotes [18:06] k/ [18:06] ActionParsnip: What is the command? I tried gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-device.conf which worked to make xorg.conf but isn't allowing it now [18:07] Guest12849: yeah same, not sure why. I'd ask in #bash. Maybe the change dir only exists in the scope of the script [18:07] ActionParsnip, i have made script where is 93 line of code. it has worked before but after this "bug" it hasnt worked :/ [18:08] ActionParsnip, hmm anyway now it doesnt work and it has been working earlier [18:08] Guest12849: i'd ask in #bash [18:08] ActionParsnip, good :) [18:08] hi. [18:09] I've changed my partition table a bit too much. need help to run the laptop from a CD. [18:09] how do i get openoffice back on ubuntu 10.10? [18:09] ab847, if you are at terminal use sudo and if you are at GUI use gksu :) [18:09] got the CDs of: ubuntu 11.04[amd64] and gparted live CD[i386] [18:10] tried booting, neither started, - the laptop tried to boot from the hdd, with grub rescue> prompt. [18:10] how do i get openoffice back on ubuntu 11.04? (sorry, wrong version) [18:11] sobersabre: what video chip do you use? [18:11] petar: LibreOffice is the updated version of OpenOffice you will find in 11.04. [18:11] Guest12849: Still says the same thing. I try to save, says file cannot be found [18:11] petar: LibreOffice is more up-to-date and compatable with other formats [18:11] ActionParsnip: not recently. New linux install and haven't gone back to classic yet... might have to [18:11] sobersabre: gparted is on the ubuntu liveCD, so you don't need gparted liveCD [18:12] h00k, i need openoffice for a somewhat complicated reason.. [18:12] h00k: its a fork, not an update [18:13] ab847, use terminal/console [18:13] probably old news but..... say you only have that old 128 Mb USB flash drive available, your CD drive just broke down, and you really want to install ubuntu..... Use this: http://netbootcd.tuxfamily.org/ - a ISO file of 10 Mb that can be extracted to a USB drive as well, will connect to ethernet (wired only), and then download the distro and version of your choice, and start installing it. Really neat :) - just thought I would share, I used it to [18:13] put Ubuntu on a beefed up thin client. :) [18:13] ActionParsnip: it's a fork that received updates quicker than OpenOffice (it was forlorn at the time), yeah. [18:13] ab847, and sudo command [18:13] h00k: quicker updates doesn't mean its an update [18:14] petar: You can install OpenOffice.org in 11.04. [18:14] petar: you can go to the openoffice site and grab the debs for openoffice, uninstall libreoffice and install the debs, it will not be updated in the normal way as Canonical's repos do not have the openoffice packages [18:14] hi guys.. i was wondering if anyone was successfully enabled voice/video calls on pidgin .. im running ubuntu natty.. [18:15] petar: OpenOffice.org is available on the repositories. [18:15] Guest12849: Did that, same problem.

[18:17] well that one depends on libreoffice-gtk.. [18:17] thanks anyway, i'll re-check if the defaults really are a problem.. [18:18] petar: welcome to the openoffice.org+libreoffice+broffice spaghetti :) [18:18] ActionParsnip, it's only a transitionnal package used for upgrades (to switch from openoffice to libreoffice) [18:18] Deleted /etc/X11/xorg.conf and xorg.conf.failsafe cause I read those would override other setting and rebooted but that didn't help. [18:18] petar: missed your question but why not use libreoffice [18:19] ab847, cat /etc/issue [18:19] Guest12849: Ubuntu 11.04 \n \l [18:19] how to map keys of my awesome MS keyboard to launch applications? example: the message key launching pidgin [18:19] ab847, hmm you should even have those files.... [18:20] RenatoSilva: our libreoffice users experienced some issues with files on smb shares.. locking issues.. NT_STATUS_FILE_LOCK_CONFLICT.. and it seems like the folks at openoffice.org know about it and were able to release a fix.. [18:20] lostson: you around? [18:20] Guest12849: xorg.conf I made myself, following instructions I've found online which suggested it, the .failsafe has been there [18:21] glebihan: I see, I don't use it.I use Abiword + Gnumeric as I don't use the other apps so I save a tonne of space :) [18:21] ab847, what is your original problem? [18:21] #ubuntu [18:21] ActionParsnip, so do I ;) [18:21] how do i symlink more than one file at a time? like ln -s somefile.* -t somepath [18:22] subone: you'd need a small bash loop command [18:22] i thought i might [18:22] I don't suppose it would be possible for me to see the list of installed packages on my machine sorted by install/update date?

[18:23] thanks, will check that out [18:24] Guest12849: I'm using 11.04 on a Toshiba C655 with an Intel Mobile 4 chipset. I had problems being able to boot only into failsafeX mode, but created the xorg.conf file and have been able ot boot normally since, whether I have the file or not. However, I am stuck at 1024x768 resolution, and the Monitors screen says "Monitor: Unknown" and does not allow me to change anything. Also, this normal boot does not use Unity as it did at first [18:24] fine, minus Unity [18:24] I installed postgresql on ubuntu but when I came to sudo apt-get remove postgresql - it told me that there was a file missing and stopped :( [18:24] ab847: have you tried the Oneiric liveCD to test if that is ok? [18:25] resolution is usually a driver issue more than it it an OS config, but if it's not calling the video drivers... [18:25] Basically, I want to know in general terms how to go about removing a package/programme that has become corrupted? [18:26] ab847, damn :/ write lspci| grep VGA' to terminal [18:26] Is there a way of deleting postgresql from my ubuntu? [18:26] ActionParsnip: No I have not. I have a really slow connection at home, but I can download it at school and try [18:26] ab847, lspci| grep VGA [18:26] how to I make ubuntu text-based? (don't start up splash screen, don't run X, don't run gdm) [18:26] hagus, there isn't really a general rule on how to do that, it depends on what the error is.

(without the hd swap space) [18:29] KomiaPoika: free [18:29] ikonia: so if free says i have 2959652 total Mem means I have 3GB of physical ram? [18:30] glebihan: http://www.pastie.org/2569804 [18:30] KomiaPoika: pretty much yes [18:30] KomiaPoika: (didn't the maths outside of my head, but that looks right) [18:31] hagus, you're not using the right command [18:31] I tried remove, I tried purge and I tried autoremove [18:31] hagus, it should be "sudo apt-get remove postgresql" (or "sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove postgresql" if you want to also remove packages that are no longer needed) [18:32] auto-remove rather than autoremove? [18:32] m [18:32] * hagus goes and tries it [18:32] hagus, if you already tried remove it won't wrok [18:33] hagus, try "sudo apt-get install -f" first [18:33] OK [18:33] I instaled pure-ftpd and I need to set some startup options for the deamon.

[18:34] ikonia: It's pureftp, and it does not state what to call the files exactly. I'm just guessing right now [18:35] ubun: what does it tell you when it can't boot up? [18:35] McFly___80: sorry, I miss-read, what do you mean "call the files" [18:35] Tried but it still gives me the same kind of error messages, glebihan. [18:35] McFly___80: It doesn't matter what they're called, they're just separated like that to make it easy to manage. [18:35] ikonia: What o name the files [18:35] McFly___80: doesn't it have an /etc/default/pureftp file to change [18:35] Ok [18:35] I have a issue [18:35] i installed ubuntu [18:35] McFly___80: how did you install it ? [18:35] hey guys, i'm looking for a tablet where you can actually write/draw on, aka pressure sensitivity and such. it should be small (10-13'') and have a decent battery life (5h+). price doesnt matter. is there anything like that? the biggest problem is finding something that has a real TABLET screen, not a fake 'omigod i can use my finger to move the cursor!!!11' PR stunt [18:35] hagus, ok then try "sudo apt-get remove postgresql-common postgresql-8.4 postgresql" [18:36] mordof: nothing it just sits there with a black screen only says something when i restart it. (normal shutdown text) [18:36] Pici: they need to be named the directive names and contain "yse" "no" etc [18:36] ikonia, llutz: Hes talking about things like /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/NoAnonymous and /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/UnixAuthentication [18:36] Cube``: that's n othing to do with this channel, try ##hardware [18:36] but when booting it says "no videomode active" every time.I foundout i had to hit alt-f7 (just randomly recalling from years ago when i used linux) and then i get the login screen etc.anyone know how to fix this? [18:36] ikonia: and it's supposed to run ubuntu, of course. [18:36] ikonia: apt-get [18:36] ubun: have you tried alt+f1 to drop to TTY? [18:36] that worked, glebihan [18:36] Cube``: again, nothing to do with ubuntu, find the hardware on the hardware compatabilty list, [18:36] Pici:sry i just read " ..add startup options for the deamon..." [18:37] Pici: yes, exactly, where can I find possible values [18:37] hagus, nice :) [18:37] mordof: ok that went to the tty. but now what? [18:37] install gnome? [18:37] ubun: try typing startx [18:37] and see what happens [18:37] Have now removed the rest of it. THANKS glebihan :) [18:37] ok [18:37] hagus, you're welcome [18:38] Pici ikonia: I need to have the -j option on, but I can find out what to name the file to make it work [18:38] McFly___80: that's passed in the master config file, or the init script [18:38] McFly___80: vim /etc/default/pure-ftpd-common [18:39] ikonia: there is no master conf file [18:39] mordof: it says welcome to ubuntu 11.04. then the warnings [18:39] ubun: what warnings? [18:39] McFly___80: there should be, [18:39] ikonia: no, the directives are split up in directive files [18:39] hey [18:39] is there a way i can switch back to Gnome Classic [18:39] mordof: the warranty stuff. this comes withi no WARANTY or whatever [18:40] I think this new "unity" launcher kinda sucks frankly [18:40] I can't navigate it well.doesn't display good with dual monitors [18:40] :\ [18:40] Anyone able to help me out [18:40] McFly___80: I don't have a box to show you the exact file on, what are the files listed in /etc/pureftp [18:40] ubun: did it not give you any error at all when trying to use startx? [18:40] McFly___80: Take a look at the manpage for pure-ftpd-wrapper, that lists all the strings. [18:40] obottu: thanks, I'll try that [18:41] mordof: no but let me double check [18:41] Pici: is it launched through a wrapper on ubuntu [18:41] mordof: wait.

I want to speak with him, assuming I can find him :) [18:52] usr13: scroll up [18:52] Hey guys at boot im getting a message that says something about crypswap/mapper not present or somethin and press s to omit or press m to recover manually, because of this it takes longet to boot, anyway to solve this [18:52] rhizmoe: Did you try pkill firefox? [18:52] usr13: i think you're lagged [18:52] Can someone lend a hand with routing issue? http://pastebin.com/1BisU3qJ [18:53] rhizmoe: What does lagged mean? [18:53] usr13: you're asking him questions we went over a bit ago [18:53] usr13: it's an irc thing. you seem to not have received my last 10 minutes of comments [18:53] hagus, could you pastebin the error message again ? [18:53] BarkingFish: this is ubuntu technical support only [18:54] oCean, I'm aware of that. I figured that the person I wanted might be here. [18:54] mordof: I asked him questions he could have answered with a simple yes or no. Ok, I'm done with rhizome and his attitude. [18:54] BarkingFish: Hes usually in #ubuntu-community-team [18:54] thanks Pici :) [18:56] hey [18:56] http://www.pastie.org/2569948 glebihan [18:56] updated from 9.10 to 10.04 [18:56] now I don't have sound [18:56] where do I start to look for solutions? [18:56] try 11+ [18:56] 11+? [18:57] BunnyLust: I think you should probably add your user to audio group, logout and in again === JacksterD is now known as jackster [18:57] ok is that something that I can google how to do? :P [18:58] yeah 11.04 is available now... [18:58] don't want to bug you if it's obvious >.> [18:58] oh [18:58] BunnyLust: System Settings Users and Groups [18:58] I want to upgrade to 11 [18:58] hagus, could you try "sudo apt-get install postgresql-common" and pastebin the output ? [18:58] but I see no option for it [18:58] scarleo: I'll try that now, thanks [18:58] BunnyLust: Run alsamixer first, and see if there are channels muted or turned down. And see if the correct audio device is quoted in upper left. [18:59] alsamixer shows everything normally [18:59] BunnyLust: cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp #See if you get errors or if you hear the noise, (Ctrl-c to stop it) [18:59] ok logging out [18:59] looks much the same as before, glebihan. http://www.pastie.org/2569968 [19:00] how does one set up a printer to be shared across a home network in Ubuntu? [19:00] usr13: no errors, no noise [19:01] how do I boot to console instead of boot to X ? [19:01] BunnyLust: CHeck to see if the speakers are plugged into correct port, or just switch ports and see if you get sound from another. [19:01] speakers are internal - laptop [19:01] scarleo: I did that, no joy [19:01] BunnyLust: Do you have external switch or volume control? [19:02] !text | synackfin [19:02] hagus, looks like you have some faulty configuration files, maybe you could try "sudo apt-get purge postgresql postgresql-common postgresql-8.4" and then try to install again [19:02] synackfin: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [19:02] usr13: no, I don't think it's a hardware issue [19:02] let me try some headphones [19:02] nope, doesn't work with headphones, either [19:02] I am trying to get "atftpd" to start and cannot; not for lack of trying, anyone successful with this daemon? [19:02] it happened right after the update, so I think it's related to that [19:02] ubun: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1351375 [19:03] yeah prolly just a driver issue [19:03] cool [19:03] BunnyLust: but if you ran cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp and got no error, and alsamixer shows correct device and nothing is muted or turned down, it appears the software is working as it should. [19:03] ubun: i'm not sure if that's your problem [19:03] how should I go about fixing the driver if that is the issue? [19:03] BunnyLust: Ok, could you try sudo modprobe -a snd_hda_intel [19:03] usr13: it appears it's working, aside from it not playing anything :) [19:04] BunnyLust, another thing , in alsamixer make sure none of the control boxes have Ms in them , use the M key to unmute [19:04] BunnyLust: Do have earphones? [19:04] yes, I just tried them [19:04] they don't work either [19:04] scarleo: doesn't print anything [19:04] BunnyLust: It shouldnt [19:04] Does you sound work now? [19:04] BunnyLust: Yes, did you look for the M or MM at the bottom of any of those channels? [19:04] oh god I'm an idiot [19:05] there were MM [19:05] does anyone know of a way to mount an .iso file and play it? [19:05] works now [19:05] how does one set up a printer to be shared across a home network in Ubuntu? Ubuntu detected and printed from it easily, I want to share it amongst other computers now [19:05] BunnyLust: There you go.... [19:05] mordof: ill try that thanks [19:05] thanks guys, orryabout the trouble :P [19:05] hah! awesome! [19:05] glebihan, I did as you asked and then I reinstalled common http://www.pastie.org/2569988 [19:05] F3ro: use the loop option. [19:05] loop option? [19:05] So that looks different from what I was getting before anyway. [19:06] hagus, looks like it worked [19:06] F3ro: mount -t iso9660 -o loop,ro /home/somebody/foobar.iso /mnt/cdrom [19:06] I have some more questions if you guys don't mind [19:06] I take it that the rebuilding of dictionaries was a good sign. [19:06] how would I go about using dual screens? [19:06] hagus, try installing the postgresql package and see how it goes [19:07] I've tried stuff before, but no good results [19:07] hi, so apparently i'm to stupid to get to a console session [19:07] japro: Ctrl-Alt-F6 [19:07] do I need Samba to share a printer? [19:07] * BluesKaj cdurses alsamixer default mute settings ...always a problem...wonder why the devs in all their wisdom would choose mute as a default setting. I'm constantly amazed at the negligence in this matter [19:08] tuzlo: With a MS Windows machine? Yes. With another Linux PC no. [19:08] crap I hate Samba and windows [19:08] BunnyLust: Whats your GPU? [19:08] glebihan: http://www.pastie.org/2570004 - I think it worked! [19:08] Ati Radeon [19:09] hi [19:09] also I'd like to try XGL or something, but I don't have my heart set on it [19:09] hagus, yep, it did [19:09] BunnyLust: Sorry, no experience with that, just nvidia [19:09] tuzlo: Sorry, we can't fix your emotions. :) [19:09] usr13, hmm, ok what i actually want is shut down X [19:09] should I install samba or smbfs [19:09] no worries, thanks anyway [19:09] Thank for all your help, glebihan :) [19:09] japro: sudo service gdm stop [19:09] hagus, you're welcome :) [19:09] Hi I am having trouble installing Ubuntu as a dual boot. The installer does not recognize my windows 7 installation and says there is no operating system on the drive. I [19:09] japro: sudo service gdm stop [19:10] usr13, qin, thx [19:10] Dan48p: How many drives do you have in it? [19:10] my girlfriend is running ubuntu 10.04 netbook edition and her internal microphone is not working in skype. funny thing is that i can hear her music and sound effect. sounds for me like the wrong signal is sended to skype and i am wondering where i can "rewire" it? [19:10] Dan48p: It is correct, W7 is just a bad excuse for an OS ;) [19:10] user829385, just one [19:11] Hello, I was working with a company that had a really nice vnc access portal. Each workstation was running a little daemon. When the machine was on, it would connect to a central management server, and when IT wanted to remotely control a workstation, they would log into a web portal on the lan, and it would have a listing of all active computers on the network. [19:11] Does anyone know of a open source software which kinda does the same thing? [19:12] cvance: Well, you could just have launchers for each system on your network. [19:12] usr13: can you elaborate a little bit more please? [19:12] scarleo, i have done this before and have not had any problems. i usually shrink the windows partition from within windows and then the ubuntu installer allows me to install in the unallocated space. This time however it does not recognize that anything is on the disk. The same thing happens with debian and xubuntu installers. [19:13] cvance: Machines can "register" on website using curl (any language would be ok). [19:14] Dan48p: I know, I was just kidding, I've done it too although it was a long time ago. Not sure about how to fix your problem [19:14] cvance: Well, there are a number of ways you can do it, but if you have everyone on static IPs it would be easy to have launchers for each system, just hame them appropriately and click on the one you want and a VNC window just pops up. [19:15] usr13, yeah, I have static ip's assigned, I just being lazy and seeing if anyone knows of some neatly prepared package that does what i'm looking for. [19:15] cvance: I just use tightvnc and x11vnc [19:15] If not, no sweat, I can just run the servers and connect because I assigned static ips [19:16] I forgot what my last employer used, but it was kinda neat but very expensive. [19:16] user13, it didn't work... [19:16] tightvnc or realvnc or ultravnc? [19:16] what do you guys like? [19:17] is there a video player that wil play an iso straight fromthe hdd without making a disk? [19:17] cvance: I prefer just using IP addresses. When I do Ctrl-F2 the run box comes up and when I type vn it autocompeltes to vncviewer 192.168.1. and I just type in the last number or two and I'm there. [19:17] F3ro, vlc [19:17] vlc will do that? [19:17] yes [19:17] kewl, i will try it, tyvm [19:17] ah, i forgot to mention that I am running windows on the workstations [19:18] cvance: But if you like names instead of numbers, just fill in the hosts file with them and they can be c1, c2, c3, c4 etc. [19:18] mrstibbons: install pavucontrol, on input pull right channel down to 0, untick allow skype to automatically adjust my volume settings in Skype settings [19:18] cvance: Doesn't matter. [19:18] I have the machines on my dns server, resolution is not a problem. [19:18] more like, I'm looking for suggestions. They would all work fine I think, but wanted a little opinion or two. [19:18] cvance: So just create launchers for each. [19:19] scarleo, thanks [19:19] ubuntu using 100% cpu (process syslogd) after a recent upgrade. Is this a common issue? [19:19] cvance: Again, there are a number of ways to make it convenient and easy, just depends on how you like to do it, (and if you will always access them from the same PC or not). [19:19] where is my calibre program installed? I can't find the plugins folder [19:20] so i tried to install cuda drivers on 11.04 [19:20] netman86: Most likely not. [19:20] bagels: dpkg -l calibre [19:21] bagels: Also (may help): man calibre [19:21] apparently removing nvidia-current wasn't enough [19:21] I've had this behavior for a while now. My windows randomly switch focus. E.g. I am reading in the browser and suddenly a pdf pops to the foreground without me even touching the mouse or keyboard. Any ideas what's causing this? [19:21] bagels: or: sudo updatedb && locate calibre [19:21] ola [19:21] plouffe- are your hads over the keyboard? [19:21] no === Hacker is now known as Guest92290 [19:21] does sabdfl come on #ubuntu sometimes? [19:21] then I'm out of ideas [19:21] plouffe: Does this happen at any particular time of day? [19:22] usr13, not aware of it, why? [19:22] plouffe: Do you have mischevious (teen-aged) childeren, or friends? [19:22] usr13, I think it happens at any time [19:22] usr13, no one else uses this computer [19:23] plouffe: One explanation is a cron job. Look at crontab -l [19:23] macer1: sabdfl has blog, if this help. [19:23] qin, scarleo, all I get is a list of files, or not the info I need. There seems to be just a huge pile of folders. [19:23] I made a cronjob for switching my wallpaper. But I've had this longer than the switching windows [19:23] qin: yes I know that [19:23] plouffe: Is it the same pdf file each time? [19:24] bagels: ok, do locate calibre | grep plugin [19:24] usr13, no, any windows, could be I'm reading a pdf and it pops up totem [19:24] bagels: you were looking for the plugin folder, right? [19:24] scarleo, yes [19:24] hi all [19:25] I am cosing a software .. how to make it included in ubuntu repo ? [19:25] aha, there it is [19:25] tyvm [19:25] here I am [19:25] plouffe: What application comes up? (I thought you said that a pdf file was being displayed on the screen.) [19:25] ^ scarleo [19:25] mordof: thank you so much. i fixed it. that link help solve part of it. then i did sudo apt-get install nvidia-current and bingo it worked thank you so much. (very valuable time saved) [19:25] bagels: np [19:25] usr13, it was an example. Basically randomly a window pops to the foreground [19:25] ubun: you're quite welcome :) i'm glad i could help ^-^ === cmjohnson1 is now known as Guest40306 [19:26] plouffe: That is not what you said at first. You said that "a pdf pops to the foreground" [19:26] usr13, I said "for example" [19:31] anyone know how to make w3m display images? [19:32] frhodes_: it doesn't, it's a text-based browser [19:33] so i need some help [19:33] problem i logged into linux and the wireless isnt working [19:34] frhodes_: it supports images on certain Terminals. h00k [19:34] even if i plug it directly [19:34] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W3m, ask me no more [19:34] the led light that indicates signal reading is red which should be blue [19:34] if i press on the button itdoesnt change either [19:34] Whats better? running pvcreate on a partition "/dev/sda1" or on a whole disk "/dev/sda"? Does anyone know? And why? [19:35] Hmm, could someone tell me, why natty lost half it configs, themes and small things like theme notifiers after a casual reboot? :> [19:35] so i installed ubuntu to my windows pc and i deleted the reg entry for wubi [19:35] and now i want to uninstall it [19:36] but im getting an error message saying that i need a disk in drive 1 [19:36] frhodes_: apparently you can try w3m-img === setiamon is now known as SetiAmon [19:36] does anyone know what i can do? === chat is now known as Guest12512 [19:37] So what compiz doesn't come with ubuntu anymore? [19:37] evening [19:37] I have zip archives of daily backups. Is there a compression that will save the original + changes? (incrementally?) [19:37] SetiAmon: it does [19:37] did u make a backup of ur windows hdd before you installed, ubuntu? [19:37] Darkenvy: switch to macosx ;-) [19:37] ummm [19:37] maybe [19:37] zip/rar simply throw everything into a file [19:37] Xangua:were? [19:37] kaco, I run osx, windows and linux. [19:38] kaco my backups are of my game server [19:38] u could just rstore ur backup and try again, or not... [19:38] but if i try intalling wubi again will it recognize that its installed and that it needs to uninstall a previous version? [19:38] Darkenvy, look into rshapshot [19:38] or does it need the reg entry to be able to do that [19:38] Darkenvy, yeah i was joking, because that is what Time Machine does in macosx :) [19:39] if u made a backup, it would still be there... [19:39] Darkenvy: consider checking out Deja Dup [19:39] various this doesnt help because I already have the 400GB of abckup data to consolidate [19:39] !backup | Darkenvy [19:39] Darkenvy: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [19:40] hook dont call ubottu [19:40] I already have the backup files! [19:40] lol [19:40] im running windows now tho [19:40] I am purging old information. I mean the game folder only increases by 4MB/day [19:40] i need to uninstall ubuntu from my comp [19:40] oic [19:40] Whats better? running pvcreate on a partition "/dev/sda1" or on a whole disk "/dev/sda"? Does anyone know? And why? [19:41] thus, I should be able to only compress the first backup of the month and have the other 29 backups be only 4MB each [19:41] Darkenvy: yeah, you should check out duplicity or deja-dup, those backup systems will do differentials as well as encryption if you want [19:41] ls [19:41] oh sorry! :) [19:41] Darkenvy: ill call ubottu any time i want [19:41] but those programs will only starting today. not consolidate my current files? [19:41] do u not have ur ubuntu disk? [19:41] thats obviously a different nick :P " hook' " [19:42] Darkenvy: correct [19:42] :P [19:42] Darkenvy: or you could write your own rsync/tar.gz cronjob or something [19:42] look im not interested in starting something new === jtrucks is now known as jtrucksbot [19:42] Im loooking for a compression tool to consolidate existing backups :S [19:42] too many hooks spoil the fish' === jtrucksbot is now known as jtrucks [19:43] all these programs make new files from archives changing now :S [19:43] tar won't do that? [19:43] I think I tried tar [19:44] Darkenvy: check out the man page of tar, there's a differential flag [19:44] and it didnt say 'hey both these files are only 4MB different! perhaps I should consoludate' [19:44] do you know the flag h00k? === Guest91659 is now known as epzil0n [19:45] Darkenvy: -d will do diff, -A will append, -u will update [19:45] Darkenvy: check out the man page, you may find something there if that helps [19:45] so ide probably: create tar with first file. add new file to tar with -d ? [19:46] -r will append [19:46] append isnt what needs to be done [19:47] append would change the file to the new state [19:47] so we've got this ubuntu netbook recently updated from 9.x or 10.x to 11.04, and now whenever the rsyslog service starts it immediately eats as much available cpu cycles (all cores) as it can. Any thoughts? === Mud is now known as Guest98708 [19:49] Darkenvy: curiousity, would it be bad to start over with something like duplicity or dejadup? [19:49] Darkenvy: or you have some reason not to? [19:49] werd [19:49] I have 8 months of abckups [19:49] Darkenvy: gotcha. [19:49] I need to consoludate and keep these files (yes I go back t them sometimes) [19:50] im reading the man of tar and -d seems like it only 'checks' for differences [19:51] there's a problem with my sound..it just disappears sometimes, and I don't have the volume control icon on my panel ever since I purged pulseaudio, thinking it was causing this abrupt interruption in sound at random intervals [19:51] I fell back on ALSA, but still the same problem [19:51] and, there's no volume control applet in the gnome-applets either [19:51] but I can access the sound from System > Preferences > Sound [19:52] I press on Test Speakers and that application (for sound) crashes [19:52] how primitive [19:52] how...inferior [19:55] sup all [19:55] quick question [19:55] bluetooth + Plantronics Voyager Pro+ [19:55] Can someone do me a favor?

[19:56] can anyone help me? how many bytes are 1 Kilobyte on CentOS? [19:56] using blueman [19:56] or on Ubuntu [19:56] Aethec: Take a look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide [19:57] PyDon: The same number of bytes that are in any kilobyte. [19:57] aLeSD: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide [19:57] aLeSD: sorry, that was for you: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide [19:57] so what value exactly? [19:57] :-) [19:57] PyDon: per definition a kilobyte is 1000 byte, kibibyte = 1024 byte [19:57] any clue ? [19:57] llutz: yes, same on linux? [19:57] i know windows fails here [19:57] this is a better source, aLeSD : http://lmgtfy.com/?q=create+deb+package+from+source [19:58] PyDon: should be same [19:58] Odaym: No it isn't, and lgmtfy is not appreciated here. [19:58] llutz: ok, great, thx [19:58] PyDon: its always the same, the only problem is that some programs are showing KByte but mean KiByte [19:59] ? [19:59] iceroot: yes.. [19:59] how would you handle this platform independent? [19:59] thanks [19:59] PyDon: just use the standard [19:59] PyDon: thats a reason a standard exist [19:59] aaaa this shit annoys me so bad [20:00] htpc: Please mind your language here. [20:00] I just upgraded to natty, anyone know how I can ditch this whole new launcher etc and get my old panels / virtual desktops etc back? [20:00] htpc: or you'll be banned.

Is there a way I can install this using the cli only? I don't have a monitor for my pc just an old TV so the graphical install does not work. If I can install it using the cli, then I can install nvidia and hey presto! I cannot get the nvidia driver to work on the latest kubuntu or xubuntu :( [20:01] I just wonder if I display the amount of used memory on windows and Linux [20:01] the windows app show the same as linux, but on both systems the mean something diffferent [20:01] k [20:01] im out for a sec [20:01] reboot [20:01] lloowen_: search for cli kubuntu installer [20:02] so if there is " 3.5 GB" in memory.. the most people might think that their computer runs out of memory [20:02] even there are real 500 MB left [20:02] i have a question [20:02] !ram | PyDon [20:02] PyDon: If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | A short primer on Linux memory management can be found here: http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html [20:02] !ask | warmax26 [20:02] warmax26: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily).

[20:03] sure [20:03] iceroot: yes, for sure, i Know [20:03] -K + k [20:03] just for users [20:03] wait so if i just delete the folder it will be gone?

[20:57] toddnine: yes, so can virtualbox [20:58] toddnine: yeah go virtualbox for desktop stuff [20:58] toddnine: in the case of windows you may or may not see better performance with virtualbox [20:58] genii-around: that's for kde, i use gnome [20:59] rubbs: Does virtual box have an option for auto starting virtual machines on startup? [20:59] MonkeyDu1t: if you read it has an answer that is independent of gnome/kde [20:59] toddnine: to be honest I'm not sure. a google search might help you though. [21:00] Have there been any updates to networking in the past few days? [21:00] Updates/Changes that it [21:00] toddnine: it has a headless mode and you can start it up in scripts [21:01] toddnine: is this for desktop or server purposes? [21:01] toddnine: and what are you planning on running in the windows VM? [21:01] toddnine: if you are doing graphical desktop stuff then virtualbox, headless server stuff kvm [21:03] toddnine, there is an option for that [21:03] genii-around: what's the catch, i don't find the line with the answer [21:04] toddnine, VirtualBox --startvm vmname [21:04] So, any updates? [21:04] Can anyone answer that for me? [21:05] Ashex, depends on what you call "networking" [21:06] Well, I'm not entirely sure myself. Essentially I've got a bunch of people who use Ubuntu, since Monday they've been having trouble logging in to their machine with network accounts [21:06] It looks like the ethernet interface doesn't get an address until they login with a local account [21:07] glebihan: Can that be headless as well, I.E. set it to start with cron and the @reboot time [21:07] toddnine, VBox lack of a native way to boot VMs on machine startup is a big failing, in my opinion. [21:07] hello, I got some super nooby questions. [21:08] shoot Noobsause [21:08] Noobsauce: go ahead - we can take it ;-) [21:08] Noobsauce [21:08] Ashex: are they wireless? [21:08] SIFTU: nope, all wired [21:08] is there a way to have sudo rights and run programs via the gui ? [21:08] Noobsauce: gksudo [21:08] gksudo [21:08] !gksu | Noobsauce [21:08] Noobsauce: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [21:08] I had someone who does manual updates update their computer and they're also experiencing the problem [21:08] toddnine, I don't think so, I think VirtualBox needs a gui to run, but I'm not sure [21:08] toddnine, KVM requires your CPU to have virtualization support - but it does seem to have the fastest CPU speed of any of the VM software out there [21:09] where do i set that? [21:09] So this leads me to believe something in networking was recently updated and I'm trying to confirm [21:09] Noobsauce: alt-f2 [21:09] you could also do nohup gksudo 2>/dev/null >/dev/null [21:09] I am running vmware-server as a workstation [21:09] I may give KVM a try [21:09] Why do you have to login to view posts in ubuntuforums?

[21:10] devish: it's the linux kernel [21:10] devish: it's the kernel [21:10] ya, that [21:10] so why its in the update [21:11] i laready compiled the new one [21:11] devish: because the kernel is updated from time to time [21:11] Noobsauce: what do you want to do? [21:11] !kernel | devish [21:11] devish: The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) [21:11] yeats, the kernel.org was down today all the time [21:11] is it not the compromised one [21:12] I want to be able to run programs thru the gui with sudo. click them like windows. [21:12] ? [21:12] devish: the update is from Ubuntu, not kernel.org [21:12] ola [21:12] Noobsauce: do NOT do that [21:12] why? [21:12] yeats, yeah [21:12] MonkeyDu1t: kworker is not a part of kde or gnome or any other dekstop. It is a kernel process which schedules jobs to be processed. [21:12] I'm sorry I mean run installations [21:12] Noobsauce: always use gksu to run your graphical things at root. But keep in mind running normal things as root is frowned upon. [21:12] win is vulnerable to malware, because of admin access [21:12] devish: not sure what you're asking... [21:13] Noobsauce, it's MUCH better to learn to use GNU/Linux properly. Although it's a struggle at first. Don't run everything as sudo. [21:13] Noobsauce: by normal things I mean firefox etc. [21:13] Noobsauce: now you want admin access in linux [21:13] Why doesn't Ubuntu support the screencast feature baked into Gnome 3? [21:13] sudo [21:13] oops [21:13] I know I miss spoke I mean when I need to install something I want to just click it and run the install without command line typing everything [21:14] yeats, i am not asking anything just i am worried see this http://kernel.org/ [21:14] fliebel, because ubuntu doesn't use Gnome3 could be one reason [21:14] !gnome3 [21:14] 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. [21:14] Can anyone tell me what this says... I am locked out of ubuntu forums because I failed my password 5 times... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=222127 [21:14] Noobsauce: if you want a system that works like win, then use win [21:14] yeats, and also this linux.com [21:14] MonkeyDu1t, +1 ;) [21:14] fliebel: Because it doesn't support GNOME3 yet. [21:14] devish: that issue doesn't really have anything to do with Ubuntu - kernel.org (as you mentioned) was compromised... [21:15] @Monkeydult oh...... if it's like that then why is there a fancy gui ??? [21:15] Oh, right... I somehow associated Unity with Gnome 3 [21:15] yeats, but for me ubuntu is after linux [21:15] fliebel: Nope, based on GNOME2. GNOME3 will be supported with 11.10 [21:15] yeats, i hope you are getting me [21:16] devish: nope - not understanding ;-) [21:16] Noobsauce: To make the system a bit easier to use. [21:16] almost there... :) So will it be Unity based on Gnome 3, or just plain Gnome 3? [21:16] well that is what i'm asking. I'm trying to learn not get hated on. [21:17] yeats, thats what was talking about G>n [21:17] fliebel: Well GNOME will stop shipping with 11.10. 11.10 will only ship with Unity from then onwards, but GNOME3 will be available in the repositories. Unity is based on either GNOME2 or 3 actually, I only know it's based on GNOME. [21:17] fliebel: unity runs on top of gnome [21:17] Noobsauce: here's my advice, get used to the password, it's part of the linux way [21:17] devish: sorry - I'm still not understanding - might just be me though - ask the full channel your question and maybe someone can help [21:18] Can anyone please tell me if this thread provides an answer why mono apps suddenly fail in Ubuntu...http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=222127 [21:18] I am trying to deal with a time-sensitive problem [21:19] Why do so many posts on the ubuntu forums require you to be logged in?

I would like to paly around in a familiar setting while I venture forth on learning command line [21:19] Apparently the forums tell web crawlers not to cache the content and then require login. I have no idea why anyone in the Ubuntu community would be stupid enough to think that is a good idea [21:19] Noobsauce: it's called update manager [21:19] yeah well.. i've had answers on google, required me to log in.. went back, took cached version, and worked wonders :-) [21:19] Noobsauce, ubuntu-software-center or synaptic will allow GUI installs of software from the repository [21:20] Noobsauce: zykotick9 is correct [21:20] Thanks zykotick9, the first non sarcastic answer. I can see i better get my knowledge from somewhere else [21:21] Noobsauce: trial and error is the best way, it's how we all learned [21:21] whatever! out. [21:23] sarcastic ???

[21:35] synackfin: /var/run/motd change here [21:35] how to _flush dns cache_ in Ubuntu? [21:36] hi again. My LiveCD boots to a black screen. Can anybody help? I've used the same CD to install ubuntu in the last 2 weeks [21:36] synackfin: update-motd --disable [21:36] synackfin: hmm that might be temporary [21:37] GreekFreak, are you sure it's booting from CD and not the drive? [21:37] !flushdns [21:37] Polah: yes. The drive takes me to Rescue grub, because I formated the Ubunut partition from win7 [21:37] What is downside of removal of console-kit-daemon? [21:38] qin: Some of the most common usages of consolekit is allowing non-root users to mount removable media and suspending/shutting down the computer through common desktop applications [21:39] SIFTU: ah, I found out -- it's from /init/mounted-run.conf , it clobbers /etc/motd and is called by upstart [21:39] SIFTU: Thank you, none then ;) [21:40] qin: you dont shutdown with a normal user? [21:41] hi, i wanted to know how to copy the found files that i have searched in the console to my destination [21:42] hi, i wanted to know how to copy the found files that i have searched in the console to my destination [21:42] SIFTU: Not really. I am rather afaid that my logs start grow with misterious errors from less known services, well fist will test it on one box. [21:42] *afraid [21:42] little_bit: with find? did you look at -exec [21:43] little_bit: find . -name xxx -exec echo cp {} /where/to/copy \; [21:43] SIFTU: ah ok [21:43] little_bit: remove echo after testing [21:44] SIFTU: isn't there something with a $ sign to work with? [21:44] synackfin: you can disable the motd printing on ssh login by commenting out the pam_motd line in /etc/pam.d/sshd [21:44] little_bit: qin gave you the command [21:45] Almost felt ignored. little_bit {} represents argument [21:45] qui: ah ok now it works thanks [21:46] little_bit: cp also accept regex, so: cp *xxx* /there/ ; will also work. [21:46] trism: thanks, that worked [21:51] hello ....does anyone here using Ubuntu Cloud? [21:52] or anyone experience with Ubuntu Cloud? [21:52] One Ubuntu? [21:53] toodida: Meaning: Ubuntu One? Ask specific question, may work better. [21:55] qin: I just set up Ubuntu one with a shared folder, how to make a friend to download file from my share folder? Do he need an account? [21:56] Are any of you interested in web design and development? [21:56] qin: or I have to give out my pwd to him to access my shared folder? [21:56] em: /join #web [21:58] toodida: Well, Ubuntu One isnot exactly sharing service, One moment. [21:59] hmm....it's a cloud service....what do U mean? [21:59] I seem to have broken my ubuntu install: sudo apt-get purge "libreoffice*" [21:59] toodida: Apparently you can give your friend link to your files *stored* on Ubuntu One service. [21:59] Now I can't print anymore; it btw also deleted /usr/bin/google-chrome for no reason whatosever [21:59] Hi, I'm trying to start a development webserver on port 8000, and it's saying the port is in use. What's the best way to find out what process is using aport? I've tried "lsof -i :8000", but get no results. [22:00] how do I get cups to print again? [22:00] qin....i understood that, the friend needs the pwd and ID to access? [22:00] savid: Why 8000? Why not 80 or 8080? [22:01] toodida: This will be source of my knowledge: http://edigitales.org/file-sharing-on-ubuntu-one/ [22:01] Polah, because that's the port that's in use. I want to know what's using it. [22:01] savid: Use a different port? [22:01] Polah, that's not my question. [22:01] Polah, I want to know how to find out what is using that port. [22:02] savid: netstat can show open ports. However, it would be simpler (and for a webserver make more sense, since HTTP uses 80 and 8080) to use another port [22:02] how to *flush dns cache* in Ubuntu? [22:03] kasi: look in /var/log/dpkg.log for the programs uninstalled from that command then reinstall them [22:03] Polah, django's default web develeopment port is port 8000, also known as http-alt [22:03] hola [22:03] nomoasmdas [22:03] dasdsagf [22:03] Polah, but how come it deleted /usr/bin/google-chrome ?? [22:03] savid: 80 is standard http, 8080 is alternate, not 8000 [22:03] how do I get a list of files installed in a package? [22:04] toodida: Usually you do not give your password to anyone. "Usually" you ought to translate as "Never" [22:04] Polah, dpkg still said that the package is installed, but the binary was missing [22:04] kasi: Because you gave it a wildcard and thus it probably removed a lot more than you wanted it to [22:04] similar to rpm -ql (pkg) but for dpkg? [22:04] qin.....did you ever actually use ubuntu one? [22:04] ok [22:04] kasi: purge with aptitude (aptitude --purge packagename, then reinstall. Configuration files will be removed by purging, mind [22:04] weird shit [22:04] I updated [22:04] synackfin: dpkg -l package [22:04] and now everything seems to lag [22:04] I have "grub rescue" and my LiveCD does not boot. Does someone know how I can at least boot my windows partition? [22:04] video is chopp [22:04] Polah, did it purge more files or more packages? because as I said, the package was still reported as installed [22:05] toodida: NOt much. [22:05] Is it possible to have one portrait monitor and one landscape monitor while retaining the ability to drag windows between the two? [22:05] thx [22:05] and pressing up in the terminal makes it take like 3 seconds for th previous command to appear [22:05] kasi: was it removed or is it just nonfunctional? [22:05] Polah: Don't even need the --, "aptitude purge packagename" works just fine :) [22:05] rypervenche: Ah, good to know. [22:05] Polah, it was *removed* [22:05] Polah, well, NMAP reports it as http-alt. Either way, does it matter? it's the standard for Django. [22:05] Polah, uninstalling the printer and reinstalling it now made it work again [22:05] kasi: You could try forcing reinstall. [22:05] how do i copy multiple files in a directory using xfs_rtcp? big reward [22:06] Polah, yes, I know how to fix that ,but I now wonder whether apt-get did delete some other random stuff, too [22:06] savid: I'm just saying the standard for http is 80, or 8080 sometimes. Since your 8000 is being used by something, it would be better to just configure the webserver to use another port rather than stop whatever is using 8000 which if you want to maintain over time if it's a service, you'll need to reconfigure that anyway [22:07] oakman: for i in *; do xfs_rtcp $i /new/path/; done; [22:07] Polah, I've been using Django for 3 years. Port 8000 is not generally used by anything else. I'm assuming my current problem is that there's another django webserver running somewhere. Hence the reason I would like to find the process and kill it. [22:08] qin: do you know how many group in #ubuntu chat? how to check it? I want to ask the specific question in a specicfic group? [22:08] savid: Look in service --status-all, and ps -A for the process. If so, perhaps use that webserver instead of a new one, assuming Django can host multiple sites. [22:09] oakman: Or maybe disregard. Just went to xfs_rtcp man page. [22:09] Polah, it's a development server, not a system-wide service. [22:09] toodida: did you want a list of #ubuntu- channels? [22:09] kasi: It could've removed them due to you having broken their dependencies. It may also have matched package descriptions as well, for example I just simulated apt-get remove libreoffice* and it lists python-uno as well. [22:10] yes qin. [22:10] toodida: There is no groups, just channels, like: #ubuntu-offtopic, #xchat, #deforma. #etc [22:10] !irc > toodida [22:10] toodida, please see my private message [22:10] Regardless, I just need to know what process is using the port [22:10] so uh [22:10] yes, I meant channels [22:10] also firefox seems to run at full speed [22:10] while other applications [22:10] toodida: see the private message from ubottu [22:10] like video lag lots [22:10] also it appears to take a long time to boot [22:10] known issue? [22:11] Polah, nm, finally found it. [22:11] toodida: if you ask you question here, we may be able to answer it, or direct you to a more appropriate channel... [22:11] !details | BunnyLust [22:11] BunnyLust: 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 ..." [22:12] ubottu: I just ran the update to the version that comes before 11.04 [22:12] BunnyLust: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [22:12] oh [22:12] and video appears to lag now [22:12] as does the terminal [22:12] but irefox appears to run smoothly [22:12] BunnyLust: Still not enough information. What other processes are running, are any processes using a lot of processing time or memory according to top? What are you using to play video? [22:12] VLC for video [22:12] toodida: If you ask question regarding other, not supported here thing, you will be advised what channel to join. But there is !alis [22:13] I'll ps | aux and look for anything rogue [22:13] !alis [22:13] alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* [22:13] BunnyLust: ps aux (no pipe there) [22:13] yah [22:14] some xce plugins seem to be running [22:14] and Thunar [22:14] that appear to use lots of ram [22:14] no idea what they are [22:14] there's nothing aside from firefox using more than 3% of memory [22:15] *2 [22:15] What ever happened to /var/log/messages? I would like to tail the file that will give me details on error mounting/unmounting. [22:15] if I have -L in the compile commandline do i still need to have the path in LD_LIBRARY_PATH? [22:15] what do the two dots mean here: ../somefolder/ ? [22:16] the directory before the one you are in [22:16] or the one referenced [22:16] blognewb: One step towart / [22:16] qin one step above? [22:16] also I think it may be something to do with video drivers or something [22:16] ok [22:17] because now avidemux doesn't appear to be able to read my video files correctly [22:17] BunnyLust is there something with just one dot? ./folder [22:17] blognewb: Yes, change to directory above current. [22:17] ./ ../ .../ [22:18] blognewb: . is current directory, .. is the directory above, there is no ... as far as I am aware [22:18] so uh [22:18] maybe updating to the latest version will help? [22:18] BunnyLust: What version are you on now? [22:19] uhh [22:19] let me check [22:19] thank you polah [22:19] 10.10 [22:19] oh he left [22:20] blognewb: Try: cd /; pwd; cd ~; pwd; cd ..; pwd; [22:20] maverick?

[22:28] you guys yse aptana? [22:29] of course I was logging to UbuntuOne [22:30] do you mean that after uploading files from any system, you MUST sync?
