I was building an Ubuntu image, so I had to mount /dev, /proc into the chroot environment. Later I unmounted the chroot base dir, but the other mounts remained [00:36] if you have 2 hard drives both 250 gig ide and one is set as master and one is slave and you install ubuntu on the master is it normal for ubuntu to put grub or any other part of boot up on the slave hard drive? im asking cause after install and then removing second ide slave and setting other drive as single master it has the OS but no boot loader or grub [00:38] jeremy-77, I have 2 hard drives one with window one with ubuntu...grub is put onto the windows disk by default,, I know you can dictate where it is installed but I would suggest the #grub channel for detailed info on that [00:38] Hi, all. I'm a Firefox developer working on wording for a prompt for an upcoming version of Firefox. I'd like to take a quick straw poll of the channel. If I told you that I was collecting information about "how you use Firefox", would you be surprised to find out that that includes a list of the extensions you have installed?

[00:40] coz_, well I do have a folder on the slave drive with several OS iso's so do you think maybe ubuntu installer sees them as existing OS and sets grub up on slave drive ? [00:41] jeremy-77, it is possible, but I am not up completely with grub2 and its options and defaults,,, I would still suggest checkin with the people in #grub channel :) [00:41] coz_, thanks === sysadamin|away is now known as sysadamin [00:49] hey [00:50] I have a very strange touchpad issue that I havent been able to solve...it works for a couple of minutes/seconds after boot, but then it just stops [00:50] I can use a usb mouse, but not the touchpad [00:53] qin, you still around?

I hate to "clutter" my home folder. [00:59] And I got a very bad habit of doing that. [01:04] zephyr, create a directory in your home folder called public_html [01:05] that is how I have done it in the past [01:07] I just had a nvidia driver installation go south. now when I fire up this ubuntu box I get nothing. just a balnk screen. Any ideas? [01:07] Roasted, you can try the failsafe from recovery for a low graphics. [01:08] how can I get into that? My only user on this system is set to auto login. :( [01:08] so I dont have a chance to hit the login screen to change anything [01:09] Roasted, there is a recovery boot at the grub menu, tap shift if you never see grub to bring it up at powering on. [01:10] Roasted, which distro are you running? [01:10] 11.04 [01:10] what is equivalent of "SUDO -i" in GUI [01:11] Roasted, cool the failsafe is in the first gui after choosing the recovery use the arrow keys to scroll to it. [01:11] sudoigui [01:11] :P [01:12] urlin2u, recovery mode you mean? [01:12] oh yeah I see it now [01:12] the failsafe in the menu [01:13] Roasted, if you get to a cli type startx [01:13] hey do producers have to pay royalty to mpegla if you self h264 videos? [01:13] sell [01:14] blognewb, not a ubuntu issue. [01:14] what is equivalent of "SUDO -i" in GUI [01:14] anybody know [01:15] My ubuntu seems to be booting fine, but i can't get the login screen or X to work properly. I can SSH to the machine and open up other terminals on the physical box, but the gui boots in to a solid purple screen [01:15] oakman: don't think thereis noe.. sudo is designed to be temporary [01:15] oieee [01:15] oakbox, the question leaves out to much (gui?) [01:16] KM0201 even temporarily ; how do i sudo -i in GUI [01:17] What is a good media player for ubuntu? [01:17] oakman: thats my point, sudo -i, is to make a terminal "stay" with root privileges, until you exit it or close the terminal.. to my knowledge, there is no gui equivalent [01:18] !best | hfsv [01:18] hfsv: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task.

[01:18] hfsv, well... xbmc or depending on which type of media you want to play [01:18] that's another big part of it.. "media".. is a lot of different stuff [01:18] hmm i just managed to log in as root: how is this possible: i don't even know what root password is [01:19] oakbox, you went to the login window and logged in "root" ? [01:19] yes [01:19] oakbox, sorry [01:19] it's mostly video (avi, mp4, etc) [01:19] !sudo | oakman do some reading [01:19] oakman do some reading: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [01:19] it even show as "root" on top-right [01:19] oakman, did you p ut in a password [01:19] i put password of another user [01:19] i have never set root password [01:19] some people are their own worst enemy learning linux. [01:20] oakman, mm something is not right with permissions then... [01:20] oakman: why are you wanting to login as root anyway? [01:20] oakbox, to get a root terminal you simply have to type sudo -i [01:21] oakman, ^^ [01:21] oakbox, sorry again [01:21] SIFTU: thx. [01:21] is there a version of samba that works between non-windows machines? [01:21] I am not having luck changing my window manager in 10.04. I've tried a couple settings in gconf-editor and I've tried using the option at the bottom of the gdm login screen. I'm trying to use "dwm" -- a simple window manager. Any tips? [01:21] eman_: linux and mac both support samba... so.. yes there's aversion that works between non-windows machiens, its samba [01:21] oakman, you can also open nautilus with gksudo nautilus and do things as if root [01:21] ie frinstance two ubuntu boxes [01:22] fendur, its likely you have to log off and after putting in your password before hitting enter,, change the session to dwm [01:22] eman_: for two linux users, you can use NFS, or just use samba [01:22] but not for file shareing from ubuntu [01:22] cannot use samba for two linux users [01:22] fendur, you could also try in terminal dwm --replac & disown [01:22] eman_: lol, yes you can [01:23] fendur, rather dwm --replace & disown [01:23] coz: odd. dwm doesn't have a --replace. I' [01:23] ll try the login method you propose. [01:23] fendur, then log off and try changing the session to dwm [01:23] km0201 what version [01:23] eman_: what verson of what? [01:23] linux/samba [01:23] work [01:23] any/any [01:24] wrong wrong [01:24] not nautilus [01:24] eman_: lol, ok.. i'm not gonna argue with you, but you have no clue [01:24] eman_: i didn't say anything about nautilus [01:24] trying to share in nautilus gives samba errors [01:24] coz_: I had no luck with that. I chose my user, typed password, changed the wm option to dwm, and pressed enter. [01:25] dang, I'm still getting white screens instead of the screensaver [01:25] eman_: then you probably don't know what you're doing, thats the only thing i can figure, because it works fine [01:25] fendur, then you may have to check online about this,, I have not used dwm so I may have it all wrong [01:25] what versisons [01:25] 10.10 does not [01:25] coz_: thank you. [01:25] eman_: i keep trying to tell you, it doesn't matter, and yes it does [01:25] fendur, let me search ,, hold on [01:26] ubuntu, anyone knows the sftp protocol version 4, does Linux support it? [01:26] Has anybody else experienced random white screens on ubuntu 11.04? [01:26] KM0201 eman_ stop arguing about what works/doesn't work and figure out what the actual issue is. eman_ what error are you getting? [01:26] Roasted: ATI [01:26] ahh you must lead a charmed life [01:26] Roasted, i have yet to enjoy that bug, but so far 11.04 has had others [01:26] KM0201, nvidia [01:26] just a sec [01:26] IdleOne: i'm not arguing, he's telling me it doesn't work, and i know better [01:26] chalcedony, yeah, considering htis is just for a HTPC, I'm thinking 10.04 might be safer. [01:27] it'll just auto login and auto launch XBMC anyway... [01:27] KM0201: I know you know better, this is why I am asking you to get to the actual issue :) [01:27] coz_: i'd love to hear what you find. I certainly have looked. A lot of the advise doesn't seem possible due to various differences between instructions and what I see here on my desktop. [01:27] chalcedony, just saddens me I run into something like this to begin with. [01:27] Roasted, 10.10 was much better than either 10.04 or 11.04 [01:27] IdleOne: well, i hav an issue w/ someone telling me i'm wrong, when they are asking me for help (and i know otherwise) [01:27] So I ripped pulse/alsa off and installed oss4 to see if that resolves sound issues [01:27] chalcedony, disagree. but to each his own. [01:27] well sound is better...But how do i controll volume now [01:27] how do i log in as root [01:28] oakman: use sudo [01:28] how tp past w/o flood?

[01:28] Roasted: im finding 11.10 working better for my Nvidia system then 10.04 or 11.04 did. :) which is good news. [01:28] oakman: Ubuntu does not support logging in as root [01:28] dr_willis, nice, nice. I wonder if 11.10 is safe enough to install on a HTPC... but considering its just a HTPC... I suppose it cant be bad? [01:29] dr_willis, after all, can't I update 11.10 if I go that route to be 100% current when its finally released? or would I have to do a fresh install? [01:29] like that one [01:29] Roasted: for now. theres going go be quite a few updates untill its released. You canupgrade yes. [01:29] I wonder if that would be smarter than 10.04 or trying to fix 11.04.... [01:29] idleone i just logged in as root: why do you have to lie [01:29] oakman: lie? [01:29] oakbox, where? [01:29] oakman: how did you log in as root? [01:29] fendur, did you see this? http://aclindsay.com/blog/2011/04/installing-dwm-and-killing-gdm-on-ubuntu/ [01:29] dr_willis, okay. I wasn't sure if I had to wait till a certain stage to upgrade it as the final edition though. [01:29] oakman: Ubuntu does not have direct logging in as root enabled by default. [01:29] oakman, where? [01:29] i just typed username "root" [01:30] oakman: then you are using some tweaked/changed ubuntu sounds like. [01:30] oakman, you iinstalled Ubuntu? [01:30] dr_willis i did not change anything [01:30] for your XFS? [01:30] fendur, you might also want to sudo apt-get install dwm-tools [01:30] lmnop yes , i just tried copying to xfs partition; it did not work [01:31] oakman, hmm... that actually surprises me [01:31] there are bug reports all over the place [01:31] anyone here using OSS4?? [01:31] solutions don't work [01:32] eman_: Do you want help or to complain? [01:32] What's really the purpose of /home//Public ??? [01:32] oss4 is great if your app can use it [01:32] eman_: what errors are you getting? [01:32] zephyr: for a Public samba share I would guess. [01:32] SetiAmon, ^^ [01:32] i did a ubuntu pastebin [01:32] coz_: no. but the way he describes it, it just worked.

[01:47] Ive heard they do good work. been looking at them myself. [01:48] gunzip -c will work [01:48] :) bbl === diki is now known as Guest4221 [01:49] Shirakawasuna, I have a lemur2 from system76, I like it alot [01:50] itaylor57: cool. Has it lasted long/needed repair? [01:50] dr_willis: so this laptop is presumably made by a different company and rebranded? http://www.system76.com/product_info.php?cPath=28&products_id=114 [01:50] Shirakawasuna, I have had it for one year, no problems so far [01:50] 694901 [01:50] itaylor57: cool [01:51] eman_: at least post the whole link.. that's pure laziness on your part [01:51] several bug reports i tried several blog solutions nada [01:51] bah, gotta go [01:51] http://paste.ubuntu.com/694901/ [01:51] but I'll read anything anyone says about it when i get back! [01:51] eman_: well, first, there no entry in your smb.conf for any shares.. so it's logical that samba is not sharing anything [01:52] umm [01:52] two diff computers [01:52] this last from other computer [01:52] i had to email it to myself [01:52] eman_: well, on the "other computer".. your smb.conf, has no shared path. [01:53] oooooooooook [01:53] and the fix is [01:53] I may just revert to jaunty [01:53] i never had any problems with jaunty really. [01:54] jaunty is no loger supported ;) good luck [01:54] longer* [01:55] Hi. Does anyone know why Ubuntu will succesfully install the first few times on one machine, and then no intall (on the same machine) due to graphics drivers? [01:55] is there a reason I can't use jaunty?what would i be missing if i reverted back to jaunty instead of the latest?unity? any real mixxing pieces [01:55] grub2? [01:55] I am eman on other computer [01:57] http://paste.ubuntu.com/694904/ [01:57] eman_: this is the smb.conf for my NAS --- look at the very end of this file.. http://pastebin.com/wAdhb0p8 [01:58] Jaunty has no more support but frankly everything since jaunty has been a joke.if it works why fix it?boredom [01:58] xfs_rtcp /root/1.mpg /mnt/2 [01:58] xfs_rtcp: set attributes on /mnt/2/1.mpg failed: Invalid argument [01:58] why am i getting errors here [02:02] having trouble with ssh. I get a connection refused error when accessing from outside, but i'm fine inside. Port is forwarded, and everything seems to be in order. any ideas? [02:03] hmmm KM0201 (eman) [02:04] chipmonk: like i said, i don't know what you're doing.. but.. setting up a samba share is not difficult. [02:04] chipmonk: if you want private help w/ setting it up, it should be fairly easy, sendm e a PM and we'll go over it [02:04] just not with nautilus [02:05] chipmonk: no real need to use nautilus.. [02:05] what then nfs [02:05] chipmonk: if ou can't figure out samba, it's unlikely ou'l figure out NFS (i've never personally messed w/ NFS) [02:06] hehe you get my point [02:06] i can get into windows machine [02:06] windows cannot see ubuntu [02:06] ubuntu cannot see ubuntu [02:06] chipmonk: windows can't see ubuntu, because samba is not setup, i don't know how many other ways to tell you that [02:07] Why do I not see mozilla-acroread in Hardy? I have medibuntu/partner/multiverse/universe repos enabled...?

If it isn't doing the job for you, maybe you should be asking a different question [02:31] Hello everyone, need urgent help !!! last night I want to upgrade my natty to 11.10 beta1, but it failed, or is not full downloaded. [02:31] today I cannot see my gnome desktop [02:32] even worse, I use apt-get dist-upgrade, so update-manager will be promt message "cannot upgrade from onenic to natty" [02:32] how can I do right now? [02:32] excuse me [02:33] what would be the harm in returning to jaunty? [02:33] SetiAmon: it's no longer supported [02:36] yixuan: Can you get a shell working? [02:36] can anyone help me? how to resolve 11.10 upgrade failed? [02:38] yixuan: Or don't answer, that works too I guess? [02:39] having trouble with ssh server. I get a connection refused error when accessing from outside, but i'm fine inside. Port is forwarded, and everything seems to be in order. any ideas? [02:39] Superdave_: Have you checked your sshd_config file? [02:40] If my Hardy install is randomly freezing (happens intermittently when installing software or launching programs), where do I look to find the cause of the freeze? [02:41] rypervenche: I have, and there's nothing there that seems out of the ordinary... What should I look for? [02:41] Superdave_: Do you have PasswordAuthentication on? [02:41] Superdave_: Or are you only using keys? [02:42] rypervenche: no, I use a password [02:42] Superdave_: Is PasswordAuthentication set to yes? [02:42] Anyone here by any chance use IRC on Empathy messenger? [02:43] Okay I'm going crazy somebody is calling me though gtalk (I'm using empathy) and the dang thing is rinigng and ringing, but I can't figure out how to answer it! [02:43] how do you "address the recipient"? I see it done, don't know the syntax. [02:43] Superdave_: Still sounds like a port forwarding issue if you can do it on your local network. [02:43] rypervenche: Yeah, but it's forwarded in my router... [02:44] Xeneth: Try this, double click on the person's name who is calling you. Then in that personal IM-window, click on Contact and see if an option for answering is thee. [02:44] hey guys, how can I log in as root without sudo and logging in with the user account? [02:44] Superdave_: pastebin your sshd_config pleaes [02:45] kristina: Wait wait. Pause & Stop... When you mention "the user account", do you mean root? [02:45] Or your own personal account? [02:45] rypervenche: ok. how do I pastebin [02:46] kristna: yes, but that would defeat much of the in-built security measures [02:46] Superdave_: pastebin.com [02:46] zephr, no, I want to log in as root, not my personal account. [02:46] zephyr, I am using Xchat. Double click does nothing. I see "Xeneth: ..." when you address me, and it does show red. is there a syntax for that, or do I just have to put the name with colon? [02:46] kristina: it isn't a good idea, sudo is much better, but if you want type 'su' and enter the password to become root [02:47] or grant yourself superuser privileges under the users & groups settings [02:47] I want to directly log into root without using sudo or su. [02:47] good luck, may the force watch over you... [02:47] kristina: why do you need to login *directly* as root? [02:48] rypervenche: http://pastebin.com/EHhsfPLN [02:48] kristina: Not a good Idea, but to do it, you need to assign root a password first, then you log in like normal. [02:48] kristina: You are better off doing the following. 1st. Open up terminal. 2nd. Type in this command: su <----- You're only then asked for root password once and then you can do any command from there. [02:48] Loshki, i deleted some files in my home folder and now I'm trying to use extundelete to undelete files and i need to keep sda5 unmounted [02:49] my Ubuntu running VMware 8 is so slowly. [02:49] which of these video formats is better? http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/59/screenshotkrwe.png/ and what is the command for ffmpeg to output a file with the better of the two settings? [02:49] is there a known issue for usb not working with a fresh install of ubuntu 11.04? [02:49] I have been searching with no luck [02:49] BluebirdShao, I ditched VMWare for VirtualBox about 2 years ago and never looked back [02:49] [02:49] Logging in as "root" as you would with your "Personal user account" is a horrible idea as mentioned previously Xeneth and others. [02:49] Superdave_: comment out the ListenAddress [02:50] Superdave_: Then "sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart" [02:50] BluebirdShao: Ditto, I pretty much hate Oracle, but VirtualBox is pretty good. [02:50] BluebirdShao: How much ram you got? I suggest VirtualBox [02:50] I pretty much hate Oracle too [02:50] Xeneth, Zephr, i deleted some files in my home folder and now I'm trying to use extundelete to undelete files and i need to keep sda5 unmounted [02:50] rickup: I wanna try windows 8, so it must install VMware 8. [02:50] kristina: Tricky. You'll need to do as Xeneth said, then... [02:50] Superdave_, rypervenche: should use service command instead of /etc/init.d [02:50] zephyr: Thus the "bad Idea" I added. :P [02:51] yeah wow that sounds like fun [02:51] kristina: use recovery mode [02:51] zephyr: 2 GB RAM [02:51] kristina: (and select root prompt) [02:51] Xeneth, Loshki, isn't there a default root password? [02:51] BluebirdShao, http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?p=200748 [02:51] jrib: Oh? Thanks. [02:51] Superdave_: So yeah, run "sudo service ssh restart" [02:52] jrib, how do I start up recovery mode, use the recovery kernel? [02:52] BluebirdShao: That's more than enough. See. (I only have 1GB here). [02:52] kristina: absolutely not. By default, you cannot login as root on Ubuntu... [02:52] kristina: it's an option at the grub selection screen (you can see the grub screen by holding shift during boot) [02:52] Virtualbox is what I use and it's not slow. [02:52] Root by default is inactive". Root comands are normally done by a superuser with the "sudo" command. AKA: sudo chown user folder/ [02:52] rypervenche: ok. how the freak do I get vim to edit. [02:53] Superdave_: use nano if vim is too awesome for you ;) [02:53] Okay, thanks Zephr, Xeneth, and jrib. [02:53] I just installed 11.04 and none of my usb ports are now working :| [02:54] s there a md5sum utility but faster than md5sum [02:54] I have been googling this issue but only see help for 10.04 [02:54] jrib: Hey, now... :P [02:54] rypervenche: I like nano more than vim anyway. [02:54] oops [02:54] :D [02:55] nano is easy to understand, closer to commen wordprocessers. [02:55] zephyr: really? is nano good than vim or gvim? [02:55] is there a md5sum utility but faster than md5sum [02:55] !best [02:55] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [02:56] luchenbill, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1816398 [02:56] figures [02:56] oakman: why?

[02:57] Superdave_: You sure you changed it? You did "sudo nano" or "sudo gedit" ? [02:58] Yep. Sure [02:58] oakman: does it need to be md5? [02:58] jrib no, but does something similar [02:58] if using a gui program aren't you supposed to use gksudo? [02:58] Superdave_: What is the command you are doing? [02:58] i forgot your handle (chipmonk) [02:59] Phr3d13: You don't have to. It only changes where you input your password. sudo inputs it into the terminal, while gksudo opens a window for you to type it in. [02:59] i thought there was more behind the scenes magic :-) [03:00] rypervenche: "ssh username@publicaddress" (censored, of course) [03:01] oakman: googling a bit someone said md5deep is faster but mostly I found people saying the bottleneck was I/O, not the md5sum program.

[03:05] I need help Dual Booting / Installing Ubuntu With Windows 7 64-bit. would anybody be willing to help? [03:06] So in case, you might have to hit tab again. [03:06] Superdave_: The only things I can think of that would be preventing you from being able to SSH into your system would be your config file and your firewall. [03:06] And again until the correct name appears. [03:06] UnrealPancake, is windows already installed? [03:06] Phr3d13: yes. [03:06] zephyr, There just was no indication that it was differant then all the other text I sent. I'm good now. Thanks agian. [03:07] rypervenche: is there a system firewall that would be blocking it? because I don't have one anywhere else... [03:09] someone tells me how to set up an FTP [03:09] UnrealPancake, reboot with the disc in the drive, follow the prompts, if ya get stuck and have something to browse the web, http://lifehacker.com/5403100/dual+boot-windows-7-and-ubuntu-in-perfect-harmony [03:09] My ftp interprets .php file I need to save [03:10] Phr3d13: I dont have a disk [03:10] have you had success booting from usb device before? [03:11] Phr3d13: I do not know, I have dual booted My Desktop With Windows XP and Ubuntu, but I am trying it on my brand new laptop [03:12] Superdave_, Have you verified that the service is listening to the correct port with netstat? [03:12] Phr3d13: so I dont know for sure if it will boot from a USB drive [03:12] do you have a blank cd/dvd? [03:12] Phr3d13: no. But I have a 4 GB USB [03:12] Xeneth: It probably is, but give me the process for netstat just so I can be sure [03:13] do you have the ubuntu iso? [03:13] Phr3d13: no. [03:13] UnrealPancake: Use this software tomake your USB drive bootable: unetbootin You can apt-get it/download it from their website. This works for mr. [03:13] Phr3d13: actually I DOnt Know [03:13] Superdave_, sorry, A noob at linux myself. I know the command in windows but not on a linux machine. [03:13] Superdave_, I just know it's netstat [03:13] ubuntu.com, download from whatever option best suits your needs [03:14] I did [03:14] I chose 2 different options and both options arent fully allowing me [03:14] Superdave_: try: netstat -an [03:14] UnrealPancake: If you have like 800GB of free space on that drive. You should move ALL your files to a single folder on USB drive. Before making your usb Bootable. (In case you're lazy to actually want to format). [03:15] Loshki: k, what am I looking for for ssh? [03:15] zephyr: why? [03:16] Superdave_: a line like this: tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN [03:16] Superdave_: Don't feel "low" on yourself. I don't know the commands either. When I need help with linux, I usually google up for commands to use in terminal. You should by now be familar with the cd command in windows. You can do the same thing in linux. [03:16] UnrealPancake, thought you want to install ubuntu or at least test it out from USB flash drive. [03:17] zephyr: I want to Dual Install Ubuntu with windows 7 [03:18] Superdave_, Can you connect from inside the network? [03:19] UnrealPancake, ah that's still do-able. All it takes is one USB drive with at least 800-1G of free space. [03:19] once done downloading, mount the iso with a virtual drive software, navigate to the "drive" in explorer and find "usb-creator.exe", follow prompts, wait, then follow previous instructions [03:19] Superdave_, remeber you saying you where using port forwarding on a router [03:19] Xeneth: yep. The port is forwarded in my router too, and It doesn't make any sense why this wouldn't work... [03:19] zephyr: I have about 600 GB free on my HDD and a 4 GB flsh drive [03:19] how do I do it? [03:19] Just had one of those WTF moments where I accidentaly ran "mke2fs /dev/sda1" (windows NTFS partition) instead of "mke2fs /dev/sdb1" (flash drive). I can still read the partition content, though it wont boot. what now? [03:20] Superdave_, So if it connects from inside the network, it's on the router. Does the router have SSH setup too? [03:20] UnrealPancake, did you see my instructions? [03:21] has anyone done bash autocompletion before and looking for some freelance stuff? figured i'd ask in here before hiring someone from china [03:21] UnrealPancake: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ <----- That software will put "ubuntu" inside your USB flash drive. When you turn on your computer, you can ask it to boot from your USB flash drive. [03:21] Phr3d13: I did. But I dont have a CD [03:21] !recovery | TeeAI try testdisk/photorec. [03:21] TeeAI try testdisk/photorec.: To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system" [03:21] UnrealPancake, read the rest of my instructions [03:22] Phr3d13: about the ubuntu.com and download [03:22] !undelete| oops this one ,TeeAl [03:22] oops this one ,TeeAl: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [03:22] Xeneth: Maybe... It's a cisco small business router, so It may be that advanced, but I don't use it... You think I should try a different port? [03:22] wHAT WAS THE [03:22] Phr3d13: I have downloaded 3 different things [03:22] none helped [03:22] what was the shortcut for a filename in terminal like shift or tab or something? [03:22] !tab > SetiAmon [03:22] SetiAmon, please see my private message [03:23] Superdave_, Worth a shot. I use a Cisco 810 at home, and I had to change the public port to get it working. That's why I thought of it. [03:23] Weird tab isn't completing filename in terminal [03:23] wildbat: I have the file content fully readable, it's just unbootable and shown as an ext2 partition in /etc/mtab [03:23] zephyr: which one should I pick for the distribution? [03:23] !tab bsmith093 [03:24] Superdave_, May be the Cisco that is refusing because it's not setup. [03:24] I have a 64 bit comp [03:24] wildbat: *blkid [03:24] Xeneth: Ok. Thanks. We'll see if that works :P Do you have a suggested port range that I should try? [03:24] UnrealPancake, You download Ubuntu (It's an ISO/CD). You do have to burn it. Unetbootin will extract the .ISO you downloaded and put it on your flash drive. (Yes, it's like burning onto Flashdrive but that's not the appropriate TERM to say). [03:24] zephyr: Ivhave a 64 bit comp [03:24] http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download select 64 bit, hit start download, while waiting for download, read the rest of the page, clicking the show me how's if needed [03:24] UnrealPancake, Then pick the 64bit version. [03:24] Phr3d13: I did that link already [03:24] afk [03:25] Superdave_, Just don't overlap, otherwise, it does not matter. Maybe 202, 222, 2222, ect. That way it's easier to remember. [03:25] maybe if there was some way to convert it back to ntfs and reverse the process somehow [03:25] read the rest of the page, clicking the show me how's if needed [03:25] TeeAl: copy the data somewhere safe before you begin messing with the partition. Worst case, you may have to reinstall windows from scratch... [03:25] zephyr: 11.04 live? net install? hd media? [03:25] Phr3d13: I tried [03:26] UnrealPancake: 10.04 Live. [03:26] zephyr: whats the difference between 10.04 and 11.04? [03:26] TeeAI of coz it won't boot. ~ if you can still mount it as NTFS and read , back it up as needed , use testdisk change the partition type back to NTFS. or else backup the data and reformat to ntfs then restore the data. [03:27] wildbat: It gets auto-mounted as ext2 [03:27] and everything is there [03:27] that's the weird thing about it [03:28] yoo [03:28] UnrealPancake, make yours look like mine http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/192/screenshot1wo.png/ then click the big orange start download button [03:28] TeeAI, that's strange. try manually mount as NTFS (readonly first), see if any errors. [03:29] Phr3d13: ok [03:29] Phr3d13: but whats the difference between 10.04 and 11.04? [03:29] UnrealPancake: Mainly, the UNITY/Gnome3 shell/setup. Ubuntu Classic (Gnome 2). http://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_1QSDkzYY2vc/Taan4vBrjGI/AAAAAAAAD9w/mJIWXge_bo0/11.04classic-session.png and Ubuntu Unity(Gnome 3-ish but not really gnome): http://static.arstechnica.com/unity-multi-selector.png [03:29] how do i uninstall dockbarx? [03:29] Phr3d13: I did that already. I have the files downloaded [03:30] wildbat: oh wait, my bad. since last reboot they switched. it is indeed marked as ntfs. [03:30] 10.04 os older but LTS (Long Term Support), 11.04 newer, some stuff could possibly be buggy [03:30] UnrealPancake: In Ubuntu 11.04, you can use Gnome Classic in case you do not like Default Ubuntu Unity. [03:30] UnrealPancake, click the show me how next to step 2, if you're still having issues ask [03:31] Phr3d13: I did. [03:31] Xeneth: Thanks. i'll try that. [03:31] wildbat: from your experience, do you think switching it to ntfs using testdisk would do the trick? [03:31] TeeAI, good then, repair the partition in partition to ntfs with testdisk, and repair bootsect if needed. [03:32] is it possible to install a chroot to run a lamp server in? [03:32] wildbat: will do. thank you very, very much! [03:32] UnrealPancake, To be expected, but 11.04 uses more resources. My old laptop could not work with it, so the age/power of the computer should be considered. [03:33] TeeAl: if it mount w/o error it should be fine. thou ~ data up important data is better. chkdsk in windows after that. [03:33] I have a brand new ASUS U46E [03:33] Hi all, is it normal that my ubuntu 10.04 do not use the bottom bar to put open windows? i need to alt+tab to see the opened windows [03:33] I have a brand new ASUS U46E - Xeneth [03:33] luchenbill: ISPConfig server has that feature. Yes it uses Linux (Ubuntu I'm assuming you want to use), Yes it has Apache, Mysql and PHP. ISPconfig as I know uses CHroot. [03:34] zephyr yeah, i just installed 11.04 and I have never heard my computer run so quietly lol [03:34] luchenbill: Actually. ISPconfig is not a server, but it's a Control Panel for a server. (They expect you to install ISP config on a fresh newly made server). [03:34] and I wanted to do some local php development, without risk of getting pwned [03:34] r3m: by default no, you may have removed the panel. add the Window List back or !resetpanel. [03:35] wildbat: thanks [03:35] UnrealPancake, In that case, it's mostly up to preference. My suggestion is to make a live CD of both, and test each. When you decide, it's simply a matter or installing from the disk. [03:35] luchenbill: Lol, is it your personal computer? You should have to worry about getting pwned. xD [03:35] !resetpanel r3m [03:35] Xeneth: k [03:35] !resetpanel [03:35] To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [03:36] haha yeah it's my personal computer [03:36] luchenbill, In fact, I can be as open with security all I want, a person shouldn't have to worry unless it's a public server that is NOT inside your House. O_O [03:36] wildbat: thanks a lot! [03:36] well, there are ways to break out of chroot anyways no? [03:37] luchenbill, now to not get pwned. You follow simple common security tips. Like "Don't share passwords, set proper file & directory permissions". [03:37] yeah i'm not worried about local security, just remote [03:37] luchenbill: Here is what I'm doing "Right now". I'm using: LiteSpeedTech. http://www.litespeedtech.com/ Basically, apache/php on crack. [03:38] awesome i'll look into that! [03:38] luchenbill, do you have people accessing your computer? Why not just use router security? If no body knows your IP/host, there should be no worries. [03:39] well I mean i'm here on irc with my ip exposed etc. i'm paranoid I guess :| [03:39] I always need to type my password twice to login, the first time it always said bad password. i reboot like 20 time and it always do that... is it because my home folder is crypted [03:39] I guess I need to study some router security techniques :) [03:39] luchenbill, if you do not like litespeed. What I used to do is this: Apt-get mysql apt-get phpmyadmin THEN THEN I just start developing some test-php scripts so I can later upload it to my real website and go live. [03:40] luchenbill, I doubt anyone would be interested in hacking you. o_O [03:40] I am on dual boot with Windiws XP and ubuntu. Sometimes when i restart ubuntu, i observe that ubuntu shows large fonts and is not able to detect display monitor, it labels it "Unknown" in System > Preferences > Monitors. After restarting many times it still don't detect it. But when i shut it down and remove power cables for five minutes and restart it again, it display normal graphics and rightly shows the name of my Display monit [03:40] or in System > Preferences > Monitors. [03:40] zephyr, yeah except the millions of irc drone bots etc. :| [03:40] Why so? [03:40] luchenbill: I would ONLY worry about that if my scripts goes to a live server. (Like x10hosting.com where I host my website at). [03:41] luchenbill, Your IP is alway's out on the INTERNET, so it's nothing big. If you want to hide it, it's easy to setup a proxy. [03:41] how do i remove dockbarx? [03:42] wildbat: partition seems okay really, nothing to change much. how do I fix the boot sector? [03:42] xeneth, yeah my point exactly... I was just curious if running a lamp server environment inside a chroot was a smart way to avoid being hacked from some open port/services [03:42] luchenbill, SO yeah, I doubt a handful of people knows your IP and tries to access your computer. So for now just get litespeed (While you starting fresh, it's a good idea to learn how to use litespeed). [03:42] i'm new to ubuntu/unix/linux so I have many questions really :) [03:43] TeeAl: testdisk have that option too. or bootsect.exe or fixmbr in windows recover CD. [03:43] zephyr yes it looks awesome, thanks for the advice :) [03:43] luchenbill, to be very honest, I do NOT know a lot about chroot. I'm no security Expert. But I know chroot is suppose to lock people in a Certain directory. It treats that Certain directory as a "root directory" where it's the furtest a person can go. [03:44] yeah I was reading up on it, it's something like a sandbox etc. [03:44] only for linux [03:44] 8-ball: yo [03:44] k1dd1saster: A question please. [03:44] A question please.

Like if I was hired to work on a server for a friend then yea.. (Right now, I'm doing that and I'm using ISPConfig that will do all the security work for you). [03:46] luchenbill, All I know of chroot is I use it to modify ISO's. :P not sure it's applications for security. My opinion though is unless you have something out there for public use, or made some enemies, good port management and password will prevent those just sniffing around. [03:46] chung...ya there?

[04:02] Chynek: if you need something that simple, try leafpad [04:02] someone tells me how to set up an FTP [04:03] Hello. I'm trying to use gmake, but it's not installed. I also can't find it in the maverick repos. Does that mean that I can't get it on 10.10? [04:03] !gmake [04:04] a_p3rson, In software sources, you should see under updates tab "Release Upgrades". Basicly set that to long term only. [04:04] but that will ignore futures as well [04:04] i just dont really want to do 11.04, is there a way to ignore just that release? [04:05] a_p3rson, It will ignore anything other then LTS. When the next one comes out you can upgrade manually. You will have to do 11.04 if you use the manager. === pulgoki_ is now known as pulgoki [04:06] Hi, I noticed my cursor or rather my typing onto the notepad or in browser tend to disappear and I cannot see where I am typing at..

[04:06] Any idea how to fix this? [04:07] It's not my cursor, it's the position where I'm destinated to type. (i'm sure u understand what i'm talking abt) [04:07] Any idea? [04:07] dfcnvt: you can't see the 'insert' cursor? [04:08] correct [04:09] Maybe this is a jumping off point: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy#Mouse_Cursor_Themes [04:09] Sometimes on restart, ubuntu isnt able to detect Display monitor in System > Preferences > Monitors and shows crappy screen resolution. [04:10] And labels it "Unknown" [04:10] Is this hardware related issue? [04:10] It's not the cursor... it's the err.. position where I'm typing right now.. [04:10] UnrealPancake: Any luck? [04:11] ...okay, like if I ask you type left arrow right now then the action of a position where it moves to the left is what I'm talking about, it disappear, I can't see it. [04:12] I can't see where it's going... I have to type AAA or DD to know where the heck I am then backspace it to go ahead and type [04:13] dfcnvt: in what applications?

I have split it into four partitions, with one dedicated to Ubuntu. On this one, I store almost nothing, except the "usual" stuff. I expect it to have around 15-20 GiB free. However, recently, I found out that it had nly 32 MiB free space left. Sinec I don't store much on it, I was surprised. I asked on this channel, and somebody said that BleachBit could "wipe out" unneccessary data. I ran BleachBit, and wo, I had 12. [05:01] And, the cycle continues.

You'll get it today when they're tying things up into knots.

[05:04] Hey all I'm new XD [05:04] TeamColtra: You can get it from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ -- when it's released -- you should get the same thing. [05:05] Lasers, I was under the understanding that Ubuntu is based in Europe (primarily) if thats the case then it is 6:04AM now I am not trying to be impatient I was just wondering if its a "when it's ready" thing or if there was a planned release time for it [05:05] Shikhin: Why? Is it a software that purposely fill up your harddive to overwrite permanent? [05:05] Shikhin, zephyr, it's not a nuke, it's for an active partition. I used it once. It caused problems before, but that is one thing I do remember. [05:05] nathanel, isn't there a README or INSTALL file in the source package ? could you post a link to that source package ? [05:06] Ok. Leave everything out. In short: Free space on my hard disk seems to be decreasing automagically every moment. [05:06] TeamColtra: There are no planned release time. Yeah. Most likely "when it's ready" [05:06] lol automagically [05:06] awesome [05:06] Shikhin: So what's really the purpose of that software that is doing that? [05:06] zephyr: Urm. I don't know what is doing that. If I did, why would I be asking here? [05:07] http://bleachbit.sourceforge.net/ [05:07] TeamColtra: Not to mention they're going to wait until all mirror sites get it first. That was from my experience with Ubuntu Final Releases. [05:07] The filling of the hard drive is an attempt to hide the deleted files. Privacy for that portion [05:07] Shikhin, well, if theres nothing important on those partitions, I would just reformat it. [05:07] Lasers, thanks so since the "last date modified" shows today -- is that technically Beta2? really I am more concerned because last time I did Alpha2 release and for whatever reason my system didn't like the changes when I switched to Beta1 (which is acceptable I know those risks when I download alpha/beta) and I had to re-install... but my current OS is like dying on me so instead of reinstalling I would rather just upgrade [05:08] glebihan: nope... thats what bugs me... http://support-au.canon.com.au/P/search?model=PIXMA+MX340&menu=download&filter=0&tagname=g_os&g_os=Linux [05:08] zephyr: I have Ubuntu installed on that partition - which shows that error. [05:08] And the problem ISN'T caused by BleachBit. [05:08] I used BleachBit AFTER I observed the problem - to clean stuff up. [05:09] Shikhin: Harddrives are like STONE WALLS. You write data. You delete it. You can recover it, The only way to make sure no one can recover it, you have to damage the entire stone wall. [05:09] wildbat: thx [05:09] TeamColtra: That can be. We won't know. Maybe we should download hashes.txt and wait until later for comparison. :) [05:09] * Shikhin does a facepalm. [05:09] How is that related ANYWHERE to my problem? [05:09] Got another question: Maybe I just don't understand it, but why doesn't memory usage in System Monitor add up as expected? Example: java (Eclipse) is taking 904.2 MiB memory, 1.8GiB virtual memory, 947.4 MiB resident memory; total usage is 2.6 GiB physical and 244 KiB swap [05:09] Is there any way to get promiscuous mode to work with ath9k drivers? [05:10] I will just make the dive... :) [05:10] Shikhin, If it was the swap file, I would think it was a memory leak, but that FS isn't a leak [05:10] !memory | Pilot_51 [05:10] Pilot_51: 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 [05:10] No guts, no glory eh? [05:10] For one, I'd expect "memory" to be physical+virtual [05:10] Shikhin: A software purposely writes random useless junk data filling up your harddrive, to OVERWRITE "freespace". So it will not be possible to recover deleted files from "freespace". [05:10] Shikhin: du to seek what is eating the space ~ [05:10] TeamColtra: Use zsync so you shouldn't have to download the whole ISO once Beta2 came out. [05:11] zephyr: How does that relate to my problem, again? [05:11] wildbat: How do I get to know what is eating up that space? [05:11] nathanel, having a look, give me a few minutes [05:12] glebihan: sur [05:12] Shikhin: You mentioned something is Eating up your harddrive. I can not imagine any linux software that would do that other than a Permanent file deletion tool. [05:12] sur [05:12] glebihan: sure* [05:12] Shikhin, I wich I could remember where it was, but Gnome has a pie chart that will show you what is taking up your HDD space. May want to look into that. [05:12] where can I get the beta discs for 11.10? [05:12] err wish [05:13] Lasers: I'm grazing through those pages but it doesn't seem to apply to my question [05:13] Shikhin, Why not just read a file that's occupying your diskspace to figure out what it is. o_o [05:13] Shikhin: if a folder / file eat 60+GB you will know . and lsof to find the bad naughty process. or what Xeneth said if you wanna GUI. [05:13] zephyr: The problem occured before I started using Bleachbit (which I used to try to solve the problem - clearing up space). [05:13] Jef91:its not available on net... [05:13] Brb. [05:13] harry_ don't spread trash [05:14] LOL... Omg, seriously. I would had just deleted the problem and "continue on" with "clearing up space". Sheesh. [05:14] nathanel, btw, before trying to compile, did you try --force-architecture instead of --force-all ? [05:14] Or kill programs that has high ammount of memory usesage, [05:14] Pilot_51: I googled. http://goo.gl/ZNcdp [05:14] glebihan: will try [05:14] hey, can anyone suggest a generic "chat" irc room that actually has people on it? [05:15] zephyr, I think the issue was that he didn't know what was causing the proble, what file/folder was using the space. [05:15] jcapinc: #defocus [05:16] I cannot type. ... well, since it is 1am, I guess it's understandable. [05:16] Basically the 2 main things I want a clear answer on is how to find the total physical+swap memory usage of a process in System Monitor and why does virtual memory usage not fit with swap usage? [05:16] glebihan: it still asks for install -f [05:16] Thank you Lasers [05:17] Xeneth: He/she is in terminal? He could has used a command to see a list of files with "sizes". [05:17] Jef91: what u mean frnd?? [05:17] nathanel, first purge the package, then run "sudo apt-get install -f" then dpkg --force-architecture [05:17] did it [05:17] zephyr, true, not sure how comfortable he/she is with CLI [05:18] glebihan: did that [05:18] And being outside of CLI, is a whole lot easier. [05:18] zephyr: Im trying ti now. I hope it works. [05:19] That's why I suggested the graph, but I do not know it's location, so maybe not so much help. :P [05:19] Lasers: This is about inconsistencies between displayed process memory usage and displayed total memory usage, not disappearing memory or inconsistencies between top and System Monitor (I have a decent understanding of cache/buffers) === sg is now known as Guest68263 [05:19] Pilot_51: Yes. I have nothing to say about it. It could be just delays. [05:20] nathanel, ok then i'll have a look at the source [05:20] What delays could that be? [05:20] UnrealPancake: Do one of the following: 1. Clear the USB drive (Make necessary back ups). Or 2. You could simply Make a folder in your USB. move all files and folders (and hidden ones) to that new folder. [05:20] Pilot_51: Reporting time. I really don't know. ;X [05:20] zephyr: wait, what? [05:20] Virtual memory is the same as swap, right? [05:20] Pilot_51, The GUI would update every 5 sec for example, and the CLI would be from pressing enter. [05:21] That's where the delay could come from. [05:21] UnrealPancake: In case you have things in your USB. Back it up. Clear USB. [05:21] I can't download Adeskbar? It 404 not found? [05:21] where can I get the the early discs of 11.10 from? [05:21] I'm looking at everything in System Monitor which updates every 5 seconds currently [05:21] nathanel, all you should have to do to compile is extract the tarball then cd to the created folder and run "make" then "sudo make install" [05:22] UnrealPancake: OR -- 1. Make a folder in your USB. 2. Move all files/folders to your new folder. [05:22] glebihan.. normally yes.. but it doesnt [05:22] UnrealPancake: That's TWO ways to prepare your USB. [05:22] nathanel, meaning ? what errors do you get ? [05:22] I can't download Adeskbar.It says 404 not found? [05:22] UnrealPancake: Do you now understand? [05:22] zephyr: Im using the USB installer or whatever [05:22] glebihan: error all ** stop [05:22] zephyr: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/downloads/Universal-USB-Installer/Universal-USB-Installer.exe [05:22] that [05:23] UnrealPancake, ah okay. [05:23] Pilot_51, Virtual = Swap. True [05:23] zephyr: I hope im doing it right lol [05:23] nathanel, there must be messages before that. Could you pastebin the full output ? [05:23] zephyr: I got error: Cannot delete output file D:\Ubuntu [05:24] whats that? [05:24] Xeneth: So why do most of my processes show virtual memory usage in the hundreds of MiB while total swap usage just shows 244 KiB? [05:24] UnrealPancake: Okay, just use unetbootin then. [05:25] Pilot_51, Not a guru in linux, so not sure. What command you using? [05:25] glebihan: http://pastebin.com/nJqxnC98 [05:25] huh? [05:25] Xeneth: No command, just looking at System Monitor with most of the Memory columns enabled [05:25] UnrealPancake: YOu have a problem right? I'm not familar with that software, I use unetbootin.sourceforge.net To put Ubuntu onto my USB flash drive. [05:25] oh well ill try this and if not ill come back k? [05:26] Okay. [05:27] Hi all , Can I send message through command line (in Ubuntu) to specific user in pidgin ?? [05:27] banpdtr_: Visit #Pidgin Who told you that was possible? [05:28] zephyr: I believe that it is possible :) [05:28] Pilot_51, My system monitor only had Memory (RAM) and Swap (VMemory) [05:29] banpdtr_: Wait, what the heck? You didn't even tell us what proticol you're sending too. What would be a good USE-CASE for that? Like what's the purpose? What's the point in that? [05:29] MSN? Yahoo? Facebook? IRC? XAMPP? === Freejack is now known as Guest3232 [05:29] O_O [05:29] Xeneth: Yeah that's in the Resources tab, it's the Processes tab where I'm not sure what the memory values exactly mean [05:29] Pilot_51, are you talking about the processes? [05:29] http://paste.ubuntu.com/694957/ why the awk doesn,t work here? [05:30] zephyr: XMPP [05:30] banpdtr_: I do not quite understand how this is going to work. Or even the purpose. [05:31] Pilot_51, I think that memory is not current, but accumulative. How much it has loaded from the start. Mine is just rising only. [05:31] banpdtr_: Look at the script at the end of this thread. Apparently it's doable, but with that script specifically, you have to have X server running, and the chat window has to be open as well. - http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-968221.html [05:31] banpdtr_: I do also know that there are purple-based CLI IM clients as well. Not Pidgin, but they're based on Purple, like Pidgin. [05:31] Pilot_51, NvM, it just dropped. [05:32] Xeneth: Hmm... Well I've seen it drop before, though the one I monitor the most is Firefox which is notorious for memory leaks (I constantly need to restart it because memory gets full and starts using swap) [05:32] banpdtr_: Finch, that's what I was thinking of. I couldn't think of an example on the spot. :-) [05:32] hi guys [05:33] banpdtr_: Try this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=968221 "Finch is a console-based IM program that lets you sign on to AIM, Jabber, MSN, Yahoo!, and other IM networks. It runs on Unixes. It uses GLib and ncurses. " [05:33] is there any handy irc software for ubuntu? [05:33] yeah.. I am looking at that.. there are some tools like purple-send and purple-remote [05:33] :) [05:33] darbe: I'm using XVIrc and I love it [05:33] darbe: Plenty! I use XChat myself. But there are several alternatives available in Software Center. [05:33] banpdtr_: So you just then need documentations and tutorials/Examples. [05:33] !irc | darbe [05:33] darbe: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [05:34] Pilot_51, The Mem in the processes is RAM. Some may go to SWAP, but it's MEMORY + SWAP [05:34] i want to have something like [05:34] it should pop up when somebody write [05:34] darbe: Popup? O_O [05:35] this room is crowded [05:35] but other rooms [05:35] It's a PARTY!!!! [05:35] Xeneth: If I remember correctly, resident memory = physical memory, which is usually slightly higher than memory [05:35] for instance i use konversation [05:35] Another source of confusion [05:35] it is flashing [05:36] how to set proxy in ubuntu 11 can any one help me [05:36] darbe: Use XChat. Xchat does all what an average user wants to do over IRC. Even make scripts for XCHAT bot & such enhancements using Perl/Python and other languages. [05:36] darbe: If I'm interpreting that correctly, It's possible with XChat to have channel-specific popup & sound notifications when there's chat activity. I'm sure other clients are capable of the same. [05:36] Pilot_51, Physical memory is memory. Only reason it's normally lower because the OS uses some. [05:36] ok thx i will try [05:37] darbe: If you want that, use Konversation (Although it's a KDE app, it does install well on Ubuntu). [05:37] darbe: I used to use XChat, but I didn't like how it lacked good notifications for mentions, which I found KVIrc to do acceptably [05:37] tu [05:37] I personally like Konversation more than KVIRC. [05:37] how to set proxy in ubuntu 11 can any one help me [05:38] yeah it is poping up [05:38] can I see last ten? [05:38] alchemy: System -> Preferrences -> Network Proxy [05:38] because it only shows last line [05:39] darbe, I just like Konversation more. [05:39] me either [05:39] but I need to take care of it [05:39] I should open each time [05:39] It does "last messages", you can pick how many lines it should be for last said messages. Konversation is better for notifications. [05:40] ok let;s try [05:40] You can hide Konversation in your tray. [05:40] It's Very configurable. [05:40] Identity list is to DIE FOR. [05:40] pop up? [05:41] That xchat lacks darbe. [05:41] Popup like "new window"? [05:41] no [05:41] Or Highlighters? Notification popup? [05:41] It does that. [05:41] small wnidows [05:41] window on the corner [05:41] or some where [05:41] Xeneth: I guess what's really needed is proper documentation on exactly what the columns mean. It's not in the help files and so far haven't found anything online. [05:41] Yes. Althought tht's not a window. That's Notification. [05:42] Fading away message, that sorta thing. === tp2001__ is now known as androidTed [05:42] where is it? [05:42] It even makes sounds and you can pick what soudns it will make depending on What Happens on IRC. [05:42] i found it [05:43] it should be defaulrt [05:43] :D:D [05:43] Xeneth: It's clear that they don't mean what I (and albeit most people) think they mean, especially the virtual memory column which adds up to be much higher than total physical+swap usage [05:43] darbe, it makes popups like this: http://gadgetinspiration.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/gmailnotifier.jpg <---- Notification boxes. [05:44] darbe, you will LOVE this irc client, trust me. My only complaint is that this is made for KDE. [05:44] thank you [05:44] Pilot_51, True, but that's linux in general. I believe the memory column in processes is revering memory usage. Makes no distinguation between physical or swap. [05:44] i enable it but i don't see [05:44] :S:S [05:44] Someone should Fork and make a GTK/Gnome or something VERY LIGHT version of KDE. [05:45] Like an Xchat but better. [05:45] try [05:45] ^Konversation IRC client I speak of. [05:45] try [05:45] Gonversation or something. [05:45] darbe: This might help too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Internet_Relay_Chat_clients [05:45] zephyr, should it be called Gonversation ? [05:46] glebihan: Nah, That term was only to glue an idea to anyone's mind. [05:46] try [05:46] try [05:46] tt [05:46] Pilot_51, LOL it's late, and my typing is going down hill. :P [05:46] darbe_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:46] I'm out people. Night [05:46] YAHOOO IT WORKS [05:46] linux is crazy [05:47] Xeneth: night [05:47] i just though it founded long time ago [05:47] I would prefer to call it something else. Not make it for gnome, but something like how XCHAT & Chatzilla made their IRC client. [05:48] I tried to make an IRC cleint, but failed. [05:48] zephyr<<<< thanks a lot [05:48] You're welcome. [05:49] darbe_, edit your "Identification" list, you'll then see why Konversation is so sexy. === chalcedny is now known as chalcedony [05:50] A personal profile, a set of nicknames and all that jazz for each irc network you go to, and you can duplicate that too. [05:51] zephyr, a quick look at Konversation... and I'd say it's pretty much impossible to port it to gtk [05:53] glebihan: Very true, I would better off Make that client from SCRATCH. Starting by making it have features like Konversation. BUT let it handle text like Xchat [05:53] Ah, I remember why I didn't try Konversation despite being so good. Didn't want to install the kde dependencies [05:53] Pilot_51: Exactly!!! [05:54] So... KVIrc, from what I've tried, is the best IRC client for Gnome === gen2monk is now known as monk [05:54] Pilot_51, really, not xchat? [05:54] They hadn't released a stable for like a year now going on to two. [05:54] ninwa: Xchat got that stupid window-ing system. [05:54] ninjah: Really, I used XChat for maybe a year, wasn't satisfied with it [05:54] zephyr, not sure what you're talking about [05:54] Pilot_51, hm, I guess my needs are simpler than yours [05:55] Pilot_51: The ONLY thing good about KVIRC is a more detailed customization, and IRC-Log viewer. [05:55] Or and scripting. [05:55] scripting works well in xchat [05:55] ninwa: That dumb Tabs system. The first channel window being Status window. Some crap like that. [05:55] !offtopic [05:55] #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! [05:56] It has a really nice way to separate channel system messages (join/part/etc) from the chat [05:56] I guess I don't spend enough time caring about my IRC client :p [05:56] But as I said, my main problem with XChat was a lack of decent mention notifications [05:57] Pilot_51, there's probably a plugin for that, but it highlights the chan in the treeview as blue [05:58] i just installed a new 1TB hdd and formatted it as ext3. nautilus is showing 46.8GB used, 870.1GB free (917GB total size). df -h shows 200M used, 871GB available. anyone know what could be taking up those 46GB? [05:58] ninwa: Wasn't enough for me... anyway we should respect the offtopic warning [05:59] Pilot_51, im too new here to argue with that ;) [05:59] does ubuntu have hibernate? [05:59] gnosis, the amount on the box and actual is aboit that difference. [05:59] abiut [05:59] cypha, yes [05:59] glebihan, how do I do it? [05:59] sudo hibernate 0? [05:59] cypha, or click hibernate in the system menu (upper right, the power icon) [05:59] from the Cl [06:00] CL [06:00] cypha, I think it's "pm-hibernate" (never used it though) [06:00] gnosis, look at it with gparted. [06:00] urlin2u: are you talking about the difference between advertised size and actual number of bytes? [06:01] glebihan, you got it [06:01] thanks [06:01] cypha, you're welcome [06:01] Although I know about hibernation, I never found a good usecase/point of hibernation. I do not even do that on my Windows machine. [06:01] because i know about that. it's showing total size as 917GB, which is what i expected [06:01] zephyr, uh, resume a session? [06:01] gnosis, yes I think you may be reading it wrong, hard to look at it with gparted and see if there is 46 gigs of data. [06:01] but after that, it's showing 46GB as used. i don't understand what could be using that much space on a brand new drive [06:01] Unless it's to save a bit of electricity. [06:02] Or move the computer to another location. === netyire is now known as irexnet [06:03] Hello, is Lapack++ 2.5.2 up to date? [06:03] im always mixing up hibernate / suspend, I know one only keeps memory powered, the other writes to hd and shuts down [06:03] urlin2u: gparted shows size=931GB, used=15GB, unused=917GB [06:03] sleep is another term used sometimes [06:03] ninwa: hibernate wipes to hdd [06:03] gry, okay :) [06:03] :) [06:04] ninwa: I never got the suspend option to work, what's the real purpose behind it. After I try doing that, I'm locked out my computer and cant do anything with it except force shut down. [06:04] urlin2u: then nautilus shows total capacity as 917GB, 46GB used, and 870GB free [06:04] zephyr, the idea is you dont have to post, so you save on time from "power button clicked to in your environment" [06:04] gnosis, so nothing is on it at all? [06:05] ninwa: Before I force shut down I would tap the power button and see if anything special happens. Nothing happened. [06:05] urlin2u: no, bought brand new from newegg. i just took it out of the box, installed, and formatted as ext3 [06:05] zephyr, it may be turned off in your bios [06:06] Okay, then that's something to look up in mmy boios later. [06:06] gnosis, open it hit ctrl-h to show hidden,maybe there is a trash hidden, not sure really. [06:07] good morning. I have a problem with pnopaste. it doesn't highlight syntax. help me? [06:08] urlin2u: did that. there's only an empty lost+found folder. du -sh shows it as 16K === epzil0n is now known as epzilon [06:10] Hi [06:11] hi melvincv_ [06:11] so gparted shows 15GB used, nautilus shows 46GB, df shows 200MB, du shows 20K, [06:11] gparted says 917GB free, everything else says 870GB [06:12] I have Ubuntu 11.04. Empathy keeps changing my status to away after 1 or 2 minutes. How may I prevent this? [06:13] Is there a way to disable the overlay scrollbars in 11.04? [06:13] gnosis, why ext3? [06:14] ninwa, http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/how-to-disable-overlay-scrollbars-in.html [06:14] urlin2u: why not? is there a more appropriate file system to use? [06:14] can you ignore/hide JOINs messages from Empathy? [06:15] how to enable overlay scrollbars on 10.04 :p [06:15] gnosis, not sure the OS is ext4. [06:15] example #232413 of something that should be accessible via a systems settings gui. [06:15] my OS drive is ext3 [06:15] Let me see if there are any Empathy settings in gconf-editor... [06:16] Hope this can prevent Empathy from setting my status to away all the time :( [06:16] gnosis, you running windows as well? the partitions changed to ext4 a while back [06:18] not much difference just curious [06:18] Oops, I can't find empathy in gconf-editor :( Really sad that can't customize it. Linux is all about customization, right? [06:18] melvincv_, yeah and knowing what your doing.:D [06:19] urlin2u: yeah, have a ntfs partition on the same drive with xp installed [06:20] @urlin2u: Can you help me with my issue? === epzilon is now known as epzil0n [06:24] melvincv_, never used it I see on the web though that others seem to have that problem. [06:25] urlin2u, thanks. === Freejack is now known as Guest15122 [06:28] urlin2u: figured it out: http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=102175 [06:28] 5% of space reserved for superuser [06:30] hi [06:30] hey guys, i'm programming a software that connects to a single host, but i have several ppp routes/gateways and i want to use them as to make use of all bandwidth... any ideas? [06:33] kokozedman: bind the connections to different IPs of the NICs, (assuming each have route to the targeted IP). [06:33] i'm able to do it partially using nexthop (ip), but only one single route is used at a time, then when i stop the program, then the next one is used === B0g4r7__ is now known as B0g4r7 [06:34] wildbat, i thought of doing that, but that wouldn't be flexible at all, because the PPP links comes and go [06:35] it would be much more efficient to just have the program send to one single host, then it is up to the system to just alternate via the available routes/gateways [06:37] kokozedman: unless you have a single public routable ip for you local PC and do balance with routing ~ rethink your protocol. [06:39] <|Gff|> can somebody explain why xfs_rtcp /root/1.mpg /mnt/1/ew_media does not work in ubuntu but works in opensuse [06:40] wildbat, it's a pretty easy application, and is just a client-server UDP... are you knowledged about the ip route ... nexthopt ... nexthop? because it is already working, but i have to flush the route very frequently for that...... i could also do it if found a way to just flush the route to that specific host [06:41] i don't have enough knowledge programming this kind of route flushing [06:41] so, i thought i'd ask if anyone knows.... in C [06:44] <|Gff|> can somebody explain why xfs_rtcp /root/1.mpg /mnt/1/ew_media command does not work in ubuntu but works in opensuse [06:45] kokozedman: i think you just need to bind to the IP ~ the network should take care of it ~ try in ##c that's for programming === himcesjf1 is now known as himcesjf [06:50] <|Gff|> what linux kernel does 11.4 use [06:52] hi. Is it possible to have two /etc/rc.local files ? Or something similar [06:55] <|Gff|> what linux kernel does 11.4 use [06:56] 2.6.38-11 as of now [07:05] <|Gff|> how do i get ubuntu with version 2.7 or higher [07:05] |Gff|: That's old o.O [07:06] |Gff|: Are you talking about Gnome / Unity? [07:06] <|Gff|> no kernel version [07:06] Ah those. [07:06] |Gff|: There is no kernel 2.7. Linux changed versioning schemes a long, long time ago, and eventually went straight from 2.6 to 3.0. [07:07] <|Gff|> oh [07:07] <|Gff|> how do i get unbuntu with 3.0 then [07:07] |Gff|: why do you want it? [07:07] 1LIST [07:07] <|Gff|> because 3.0 fix a bug that i need [07:07] <|Gff|> fixed [07:08] Summary: Besides a new version numbering scheme, Linux 3.0 also has several new features: Btrfs data scrubbing and automatic defragmentation... <---- Defragmention? o_O [07:08] I thought that was a windows only thing. [07:09] <|Gff|> http://www.xfs.org/index.php/XFS_Status_Updates [07:09] <|Gff|> ibis it says it fixed a xfs bug [07:14] |Gff|: You might want to have a look here: http://techtimely.wordpress.com/2011/08/19/install-linux-kernel-3-0-on-ubuntu-11-04/ [07:15] <|Gff|> ibis why not just get ubuntu with 3.0 [07:15] i have script which i want to run every 09:09 am so i created cron job somethink like -- 8 9 * * * -- but its not working as i excepted, is there something wrong? [07:16] |Gff|: there is no release version of Ubuntu with 3.0 yet [07:16] emr: Pass the full line please. Also check that the script is runnable for the user executing the cron [07:16] |Gff|: that's why [07:17] susundberg, sure, 8 9 * * * cd /var/www/project/ && /usr/bin/python manage.py updatecurrencies [07:17] scripts running perfectly [07:17] <|Gff|> myrtti what about other distro? [07:18] |Gff|: if you can wait for few weeks there is a new release of Ubuntu with 3.0, or you could try the beta release; be aware tho that beta is beta, it may break other things, and it's not supported on this channel [07:19] guys, please help my GRUB is not loading [07:19] Myrtti: Wait, that will be Ubuntu 11.somethingNew ? [07:19] emr: and the problem excatly is that it seems like cron is not running the scripts or ? [07:20] Ibis: 11.10. year.month [07:20] Ibis: well, yes. Ubuntu has a new version every six months [07:20] emr: do you get mail from the cron output -- checking that might give you hint what is going wrong. I usually prefer doing small scripts (say cron_run_this.sh) that contains the commands and keep the crontab clean [07:20] emr: that is i not sure how the line "cd /var/www/project/ && /usr/bin/python manage.py" is handled -- the "&&" marks [07:20] emr: Why 8 9 * * *? SHouldn't it be: 9 9 * * * ? [07:21] Ibis: 11.10 Beta2 should be coming out today. [07:21] what's the rules of freezes? [07:21] will they fix the bugs that i've reported in beta 1... [07:21] i hope so [07:21] What's the difference between using & and && in between terminal commands? [07:21] susundberg, i have something like this, command logging to db when execute, and its seems working in wrong time on every 12:08:02 [07:21] Ibis: && waits for the first command to finish successfully [07:22] && is for AND [07:22] Ah, that makes sense Myrtti. And & is a "do it at the same time" Sweet. [07:22] Ibis: they do completely different things. & moves the aforementioned process to the background and runs the second one in parallel. && runs the second one when the first one is done if and only if the first one exits with a non-error return value [07:22] Ibis, i have a several scheduled command so its best slot to run [07:22] doesn't it get the exit value of the first command and use that to determine whether to run the next, or something? [07:22] all of a sudden my ubuntu crashed (or kinda crashed) how can i solve it. nothing's working good... not even ALT-Ctrl-F1/ F2/ F3 [07:23] ohh men i didnt check server time, its utc, thanks susundberg i got the point [07:24] Hello all, got a WD external hdd that had a windows file system on it.. So i used gparted to format it with a ext4 file system but it says the hdd is owned by root and will not let me add/remove information on it.. I've tried changing permissions but no luck. Any ideas? [07:25] Myrtti: Speaking of the whole 3.0 linux kernal, no one decided to jump ubuntu to that to iron out any kernal related bugs? [07:25] ssargennto: could you please pastebin the output of "mount" [07:27] Ibis: jump which ubuntu? btw kernal is something that was in Commodore 8-bit, in Linux it's kernel ;-) [07:28] !ops [07:28] Help!

[08:07] !best [08:07] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [08:07] a good partition scheme, then [08:07] burg: you need to be more precise with what you plan to do on that server [08:08] web server. multiuser [08:08] hi LL [08:08] we don't know what you are planning to do so we can't suggest anything [08:08] can anyone help me install the original beta drivers for x=fi.Pulse/oss4 is no where near as good as the original beta drivers.but they won't compile [08:09] Is XFCE faster than GNOME or is it more of a myth? [08:09] hi ! [08:09] To be honest, I don't care. Just something stable for the netbook. [08:09] i am on ubuntu 9.10 [08:09] Lasers, both are stable for the netbook normally [08:09] Myrtti, i intend to use it as a web server [08:09] and i want to upgrade release to 10.0.4.3 [08:10] but no release upgrade was proposed [08:10] how can i do the release ? [08:10] !upgrade | Guest35270 [08:10] Guest35270: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [08:10] !eol [08:10] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [08:10] second link [08:11] I have a small doubt: Will Evolution get corrupt on upgrading ubuntu from 10.10 to 11.04? [08:11] Lasers: My experience with XFCE vs GNOME 2.x is that XFCE is faster, though not by too much most of the time (unless you turn on wiggly windows). GNOME 3 seems a lot slower [08:11] Guest35270, melvincv_: Always make a backup! (Just because you ought to!) [08:11] melvincv_: shouldn't do, but you should back up your files before upgrading as a general rule anyway [08:12] * ActionParsnip misses karmic [08:12] ActionParsnip, how so [08:12] mosno: it was a good release [08:12] TeslaTony: I see. Thank you for the input. [08:12] 'Backup Evolution settings' is an option, but what all does it back up? [08:12] ActionParsnip, how so [08:13] Does it backup my mail too? [08:13] @TeslaTony Lasers I prefer XFCE over GNOME too, but I couldn't get vsync to work in xfce at all. :( [08:13] i have done all instructions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [08:13] but always end with a "no new release found" [08:14] Lasers: Give 'em both a try, though. You might find there's something in one that the other doesn't, that tilts the scales for you, like bilygates comment [08:14] anything wrong with going back to a older version of ubuntu like jaunty? [08:14] SetiAmon: yes, you don't get security updates, or support here or officially [08:14] I never had any problem with jaunty.would it be ok to go to 9.4 or 9.10? [08:14] Ok, how do I backup evolution completely, settings, contacts and mail? [08:14] 9.4 to 9.10 => OK [08:14] TeslaTony: I'm going to sell it. That's why. I was thinking about EasyPeasy. Something simple and hogging-free for netbook. [08:15] butr 9.10 -> 10.4.3 = no new release found [08:15] !ubuntu 11.10 [08:15] i don't see how i have perfect audio in jaunty and then in later versions sound is wrecked [08:15] that doesn't seem right.there must be a way to fix audio? [08:16] hi, i'm back [08:16] Lasers, GNOME 2, XFCE, or LXDE. They're pretty headache-free [08:16] je === brown is now known as Guest54141 [08:21] SetiAmon: different drivers in the kernel, different alsa version [08:23] Gaah! I am going nuts! I have been compiling a program for days on one machine (using libc-2.12.1.so it seems), ftp'ing it to another machine and running it there. Now all of a sudden it complains about " /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7' not found". How is that possible? I have not been doing any upgrades or anything on the machines! [08:24] Hello, I'm having a problem with my eeePC touchpad. It worked for few days after installing Ubuntu 11.04 (naty) and after trying a wireless mouse it stopped working. It looks like working while doing the login but stops after that. Any hint? [08:24] Could anybody tell me how to search a package accurately by using commend? [08:25] hello [08:25] good morning [08:26] linux rocks [08:26] Luke_007: 'search a package' how do you mean? [08:26] when I using apt-cache search , a lot of package come out but not what I needed. [08:26] hi, im interested in using ubuntu but havent used it yet [08:26] Luke_007: you can grep the output to reduce results [08:26] i can't upgrade to 10.0.4.3 [08:26] so i try to remove / install update-core-manger [08:26] i have that: http://pastebin.com/aD6QdEcN [08:26] OldBoyAdidas: the install CD will allow you to test the OS without modifying your current OS [08:26] idea ?

[08:38] i've installed into a virtual machine with 512Mb RAM (it's not so much, but i thought it was enough) and my apache sometimes refer me problems allocating memory [08:39] Is there any way to see in beforehand if an update will require a reboot? [08:39] i have another VM with fedora 7 256Mb and it works right [08:40] i am using ubuntu 11.04, my problem is that i recived a cad file via mail, when i try to open it with a cad software i get the message "impossible to open the file check the permissions [08:40] angelete2: 512Mb should be ok for a web box imho [08:40] I mean I know kernel updates require reboot but I mean like apt telling me before installing that the update will require a reboot [08:40] luca_: does your user have read access to the file? [08:41] ActionParsnip, i thought so, but i don't know why i'm getting this errors [08:41] angelete2: have you asked in #ubuntu-server too? [08:41] scarleo: I don't believe so. I've never run into a situation, though, where the computer forces me to reboot before I can do anything [08:41] maybe will be better, i didn't notice this channel, sorry [08:42] scarleo: if you don't reboot it doesn't affect the OS, you just have a kernel update which needs one to load the new stuff, that'ss all. The OS can happily run fiorever more without you rebooting [08:42] angelete2: no need to apologise ;) [08:42] TeslaTony: No oc it doesn't force me, it's not windoze we're talking abt, but it would still be sweet if it could tell me that it needs to reboot to complete the update before I actually do the update [08:44] hello, is here anybody from Canonical Ltd? [08:44] ActionParsnip: Yeah, I can still see a point in being told before committing the update that it will require a reboot to complete [08:44] action partnership, yes, i have done the sudo chmod 777 file.dwg and tryed the sudo chmod 644 file.dwg too [08:45] i test everything in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [08:45] and no new release found each time [08:45] wtf ?

[10:13] will do it later. bye for now ActionParsnip [10:13] ActionParsnip: I don't know what you mean. It has 4 bashes ran, wich have launched processes that run under python or mono.

[10:15] sniperjo_, some of us are. what's up?

[10:17] didn't say I'm one of those people, but good, you asked the full question. :-) [10:17] gry: you had my hopes up ! [10:17] * gry hopes [10:19] Daghdha: should do, yes [10:19] 2nd tiem i had this, must be some gnome-terminal bug [10:19] Daghdha: I'd do it manually, just to be sure [10:19] manually do what? Shut down? [10:19] Daghdha: could try it from xterm, see if it is a bug [10:20] Daghdha: close down the apps etc [10:20] it happened twice in the last year [10:20] How can i manually close down an app if i can't get to it's prompt?

Out of the blue, when i login all windows are grey not responding at all and the theme isn't loading. It's only with my main user. Other users work fine. I can't start programs and cannot logout. I have no clue what i should search for. I would really appreciate your help [10:23] snape: you touched compiz? [10:23] nope [10:23] grey windows are compiz's way of telling you an app is hanging [10:23] well i guess rm ~ .gnome* will fix it [10:24] i will try [10:24] no wait [10:24] back up first [10:24] i'm not an expert [10:24] snape: try: gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz; compiz --replace [10:24] snape: will set compiz to defaults and may help [10:24] thx i will try that [10:27] and that app can be gnome-terminal, in my case. [10:29] OH [10:29] problem 'solved' [10:30] apparently when you click 'close' on 1 terminal and it says 'not responding force quit?' and you say yes it closes ALL terminals. [10:31] Is there a setting that makes every terminal run in it's own process? [10:32] hi all [10:32] hello [10:32] Is there any proper way of using say a natty repo in lucid but with a "lower" priority [10:32] DeathWolf: no [10:33] Daghdha: You could use uxterm or urxvt instead of gnome-terminal [10:33] ie, I just want one package that's not backported(xserver-xorg 1.10), and try for the best(I don't mind if it breaks everything, I'm doing testing) [10:33] !pinning | DeathWolf [10:33] DeathWolf: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [10:33] daghdha: use screen [10:33] DeathWolf: things will break [10:33] snape: any better? [10:33] DeathWolf: (likely) [10:34] yeah I know [10:34] ffk27: wills creen prevent my terminals from locking up or running under the same process? === SchlauFuchs is now known as qqwref [10:34] the thing is 1.7.5 is ancient, and only 1.10 has newer features like xcomposite with xinerama [10:34] yes i think so [10:34] DeathWolf: so why don't you upgrade your ubuntu? [10:34] I don't mind trying that too, but do-release-upgrade complains of some stuff [10:35] hello i have problem with my bulit in dvb-t tuner, can somebody help me? :) [10:35] DeathWolf: what stuff? [10:35] screen -dMS [10:35] it doesn't find a mirror entry for the upgrade [10:35] DeathWolf: pastebin please [10:36] http://pastebin.com/H3ehmMvq jrib [10:36] DeathWolf: please cat /etc/apt/sources.list [10:36] So since x-fi is all cracky and such i decided to enable onboard sound.intel HDA.So how do i make it so ubuntu uses that instead of X-Fi? [10:37] SetiAmon: set it as the default sound device in sound options [10:37] Anyone in here by any chance using Konversation Chat clinet? [10:37] mmm most of these are corporate confidential though ...(it's internal repositories) [10:37] Client* [10:37] geirha: Okay i added the uxterm to the menu. I will start usingthat instead i guess [10:38] Daghdha: I use gnome-terminal though and I can't remember ever seeing such a message when closing a gnome-terminal window [10:39] sigh, why didn't anyoen backport xorg 1.10 to lucid:( [10:39] Daghdha: I never use the X-button to close it though, I always exit the shell it is running instead, typically by hitting Ctrl+D at the bash prompt. [10:39] I wonder how much work it'd be to get it backported [10:39] geirha: all my terms where grey. gnome-terminal process was taking 100% cpu [10:40] Daghdha: Yeah, I've gotten that with other applications, just never gnome-terminal. Not that I can remember anyway. [10:40] well as you can imagine that's pretty bad one to have it with. [10:40] SetiAmon: or easier, remove the card altogether [10:41] i think it should have a moe where you can have each term have it's own process [10:41] DeathWolf: there is the xorg edgers PPA, its very experimental so may cause issues [10:41] Version: 1:7.5+6ubuntu1~xorgedgers3~lucid [10:41] ^ ActionParsnip [10:42] actionparsnip:sound control won't load up now [10:42] hmm [10:42] seems like their lucid is still only 1.7.5 too [10:42] whats the name of the thing i need to reinstall.pavucontrol? [10:42] which is more ancient than the pyramids [10:42] whats the volume controller [10:42] DeathWolf: yes but its stable [10:42] Daghdha: When you hit the X-button, it goes on a killing spree, trying to kill all child processes, whether they be backgrounded or not. It was probably waiting for one of them to die when it was hanging. By exiting the shell instead, that won't happen. [10:43] DeathWolf: use at your own risk: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates?field.series_filter=lucid [10:43] No geirha [10:43] About Kernels, Linux3.0 is compatible with Ubuntu 11.04, right [10:43] All my child processes (Wich i can access trough HTTP) were running fine. [10:44] ActionParsnip: that's still only 1.7.6... [10:44] ikonia: got the starter in usb [10:44] when does 11.04 gets a 3.0 update? [10:44] Daghdha: The child processes of the shell of the terminal window you were closing [10:44] hi all, are there any known problems with oineiric updated within the last 24 hours? [10:45] gnome-terminal was hanging with 100% cpu and not responding. [10:45] if only xinerama X without compositing wasn't so slow:( [10:46] Ibis: there is a 3rd party kernel 3.0 for natty, we cannot support it here in any way [10:46] rabbi1: seems pointless if your machine has a hardware error === hello24 is now known as zomgrofler [10:46] seb0: ask in #ubuntu+1 for oneiric questions please [10:46] I can't believe it took until xorg 1.10 before they had compositing not conflicting with xinerama [10:46] it's beyond facepalm [10:46] Daghdha: kill the process is all I can suggest [10:47] what's the smallest program that can resize photos and convert formats (jpg to png)? [10:47] any ideas which modules to add if i [10:47] DeathWolf: is it ok in kde, kwin can do compositing... [10:47] i'm gonna compile kernel 3.0? [10:47] system is eee pc 701 [10:47] hey can anyone one tell me how should i change the network manager setting it is saying that "device is not managed" [10:47] !kernel | m6locks [10:47] m6locks: 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) [10:47] i don't want to download gimp just to resize and convert photos, is there a command line application for that? [10:48] ActionParsnip: It already all died when the term i closed brought up a kill dialog that was for the gnome-terminal and not for itself. And presto.. all terminals gone in one foul swoop. All processes dead. Problem solved, patient dead. [10:48] unk: did you define it in /etc/network/interfaces ? [10:48] Daghdha: as good as can be expected [10:48] pamwe_chete: use imagemagick [10:48] WOOT - Finally have an Ubuntu Server to work with, Goodbye Windows Server 2003! [10:48] woot [10:49] ActionParsnip: True. Doesn't mean i'm happy about it though :) [10:49] Hi guys... I need a libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 (>= 2.21.6) for lucid and can't find it in any repo. Can anybody help? [10:49] ActionParsnip: it is saying "device not managed" for both wired and wireless [10:50] ActionParsnip: then who is managing them?? [10:50] About a software named metacity in Ubuntu 11.04, why does it seem to not handle memory so well. It bloated well over 400MB in memory usage. I decided to just kill the program and start metacity again via terminal ( metacity ). [10:51] ActionParsnip that's what i was looking for, thanks [10:51] Now it uses as little as 2MB of memory. [10:51] Ibis: hey Ibis [10:51] Aloha Unk! === nick_ is now known as Guest1820 [10:52] Ibis: i m facing a new problem in ubuntu [10:53] hello [10:53] Ibis: its network manager it is saying that the devices are not managed by it. then how should i check that who is managing my networking devices?? [10:53] DeathWolf: so why not hit 'y' or use official repositories for the upgrade? [10:53] ActionParsnip: One final question. If i had been running all processes under screen, would after this kill the screen and processes udner screen survived or would they too have been taken down by killing of Gnome-terminal? [10:54] unk: whenever i start firefox, my network manager says it found an unmanaged device... but then it manages it for me :) [10:54] Daghdha: your screen(s) would've survived [10:54] Chipzzz: In my case it's not managing. i m using GNOME by the way [10:54] Okay, maybe start using those. Thank geirha and ActionParsnip. [10:55] unk: Daghdha not sure, I don't use screen [10:55] unk: i have a gnome desktop too... does it not connect at all? [10:55] screen will survive [10:56] Chipzzz: NO [10:57] unk: wireless or wired? [10:57] ActionParsnip: tell me then in terminal way [10:57] Chipzzz: both of them [10:57] unk: did you edit /etc/network/interfaces ? [10:57] unk: do the devices show up in lspci? === Hiz is now known as Guest7595 [10:57] Chipzzz: i have also check the services but cannot figure out [10:58] Chipzzz: yes [10:58] ActionParsnip: no [10:58] unk: if you open the file, does it only have lo0 defined? [10:59] ActionParsnip:NO eth0 ,wlan0 are defined. [10:59] ActionParsnip:there is an applet of network manager at the top right side. [10:59] ActionParsnip:when i right click on it . It shows the devices are not managed by it [11:00] Hello [11:00] Apache/2.2.8 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.4-2ubuntu5.10 with Suhosin-Patch mod_ssl/2.2.8 OpenSSL/0.9.8g Server at wiki Port 80 <- Does that mean they are running Ubuntu 5.10? [11:00] lolcat: it means PHP 5.2.4 not ubuntu [11:01] unk: 'ubuntu5.10' [11:01] ActionParsnip: any solution of it [11:01] what is 5.10? [11:01] unk: then that's why. if you set the interfaces there then network manager cannot touch them === Guest63578 is now known as jbache [11:02] unk: so when I asked "are they defined in /etc/network/interfaces" your answer should have been YES and we would be moving [11:02] ActionParsnip: i didnt edit any file then why it is happen?? [11:02] unk: you must have, or whomever set it up has. The default file ONLY has lo0 defined [11:03] ActionParsnip: is there any other service which may be handling it?? if yes how could i find it? [11:04] unk: no, just that file [11:04] lolcat: if its 5.10 then it must be ubuntu 5.10 [11:04] !5.10 [11:04] Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) was the third release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 13, 2007. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [11:04] ActionParsnip: what should i do now ??? [11:04] hi [11:04] ActionParsnip: Does that string mean they are using Ubuntu 5.10? [11:04] lolcat: it just means that the version of php on that server is 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.10. If I had to guess, it would be runnning a not-recently updated version of 8.04 (8.04 shipped with php5-5.2.4-2ubuntu5 and the latest in their repositories is 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.17 [11:04] unk: comment out the lins in the file but leave the ones with lo on them, then reboot [11:04] How can I check if syslogd is running for monitoring purposes? [11:05] xoveruk1: ps -ef | grep logd [11:05] !8.04 [11:05] Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended on May 12 2011, Server support continues until 2013. See !upgrade, !lts and !eol for more details. [11:05] That makes sence [11:05] ActionParsnip: ok [11:05] i want to check that it actually works [11:05] and then send that information back to the remote nagios system [11:06] ActionParsnip: Network manager does not edit that file by itself ???? [11:06] unk: no, it doesn't touch it [11:06] test [11:06] !test | tod [11:06] tod: Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... ( by the way, remember that you can use #test ) [11:06] ActionParsnip: ok [11:06] #test [11:08] ActionParsnip: i have install virtualbox one of the interface is of it should i delete that also??? [11:08] unk: just comment them out, its less destructive [11:08] Hi everyone [11:08] hi Defusal_ [11:08] is it possible to install ubuntu server on a flash drive? [11:08] ActionParsnip: ok [11:09] Defusal_: sure [11:09] or do i need to download ubuntu desktop now instead? [11:09] ActionParsnip, how? [11:09] Hello Guys. This may not relate to Linux (I'm not sure were to ask it) but is there some way to only specify what OIDs (Object Identifiers) you want when doing an SNMP walk? For example: I only want the OID for a temperature gauge on an SNMP enabled device. Does this make sense? [11:09] i used unetbootin and it says it cant install without a CD, and theres no option to boot, like ubuntu desktop has [11:10] Defusal_, run Ubuntu Server installator from CD or another USB, and install it to your flash drive. Then boot from it,customize it, add webserver or what do you want :) [11:11] macer1, so with other flash drive, it wont say it cant continue without a CD? [11:11] Defusal_, like this was in Debian 5 :D? [11:12] macer1, he ok, ill give it a go [11:12] Defusal_: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [11:12] this installation is turing out to be one of the most painful experiences to date :/ [11:12] Defusal_, good luck, I think Ubuntu Server should install to usb from another usb with no problem ;) [11:13] ActionParsnip, sure [11:14] Defusal_: I believe there is a boot option to make it not look for a CD, let me search [11:14] anyone know? [11:15] Defusal_: have you thought about running it in a virtual machine with the image on the USB drive? [11:16] can notify-send cause a sound at the same time it displays the text? [11:16] ActionParsnip, I think ubuntu server is not checking for cd [11:16] O_o [11:16] Defusal_: could try the minimal ISO instead :) [11:17] macer1: it can but there is a boot option to supress it etc [11:18] hi i try to redirect my input using < but it don't work ? i write some thing like : ls < test.txt [11:18] eyadof: > [11:18] Hi, is there a way to reenable login and password from the commend adduser? [11:18] eyadof: oh sorry misread [11:18] Defusal_: [11:18] eyadof: why would you input a file to ls? [11:19] Defusal_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1550317 [11:19] @knubbig it's an example [11:19] it dosn't work complitly [11:20] Chipzzz: how exactly is that going to help me? [11:21] ActionParsnip: why should I need to do that manually? I don't even have the ISO on the flash drive, thats the whole reason I'm using unetbootin? [11:21] ikonia: some how i got it to load from usb.... [11:21] Defusal_: when the usb starts to boot you sometimes need to mess around in another prompt is the installer starts asking about optical media [11:22] Unless you're saying unetbootin doesn't support ubuntu server [11:22] Defusal_: it does [11:22] ikonia: the problem now is my existing version on laptop is 9.10, now i got the 11.04... How can I update and still keep the data or how to get the grub ready ? [11:22] in which case i'll rather download desktop, and save some more wasted time [11:22] Defusal_: if you need a desktop OS, then install one :) [11:23] those instructions are for mounting an iso to install from, are they not? [11:23] that is not how unetbootin works [11:23] Defusal_: Your problem appears to be that you can't boot the iso in order to install the system to the usb. The virtual machine would boot from the iso and you could put the virtual machine on the USB drive. [11:23] i need an OS, thats about it [11:23] one that works [11:24] Chipzzz, no. [11:24] Defusal_: Ah... sorry... i misunderstood the problem [11:24] ActionParsnip: thnx it solve my problem [11:25] Defusal_: desktop is an easy ride. You can use Xubuntu or Lubuntu for a light desktop [11:25] unknown_hunk: np :) [11:25] ActionParsnip, yeah i think that may be simpler for using a flash drive, as it just works, and live boots [11:26] ActionParsnip: my usb 3g datacard is not detectable in the network manager ? ? what to do?? [11:27] Sue your ISP, unknown_hunk. :D [11:27] hello i have problem with my bulit in dvb-t tuner, can somebody help me? :) [11:27] ActionParsnip, now i just need to hope im installing from the right flash drive to the right one, since they are named exactly the same from the bioses perspective :| [11:27] ActionParsnip: but when i use my mobile to connect it to internet . it get detected easly but not usb 3g data card [11:27] unknown_hunk: there are lot of post regarding your problem in ubuntu forum, have a look. [11:27] When you run "tasksel" -- There are a list. How can I find out what install what? [11:27] if i install it to the wrong, it'll be too small, and it will override the installation files, so ill have to start everything over [11:28] rabbi1: give me the link. i already search alot but didnot find any 100% solution for all data card's === sLIDe is now known as Guest96709 [11:29] rabbi1: i have two 3g data card if one works then 2nd doesnt [11:29] ActionParsnip, and 10.10 is the most stable version?

[11:31] Defusal_: 11.04 is also officially stable [11:31] unknown_hunk: check the post by username ajjublr. its for huawei, but works in most. i had made it work with huawei and vodafone [11:31] chiyaan: sudo apt-get install samba [11:31] rabbi1: where in ubuntu forum ??? can you give me the link? [11:32] robs_: run: lsusb you will see an 8 character hex ID you can use to find guides [11:32] ActionParsnip, i've had issues with 11.04 in the past so i will stay away from it, and the lastest 10.04's network config application (and who knows what else) is bugged [11:32] unknown_hunk: type ubuntu forum in google search field [11:32] So I was told yesterday 10.10 is a good choice [11:33] rabbi1:ok [11:34] Lasers: tasksel --list-tasks [11:36] Defusal_: then try wicd, or wifi-radar instead [11:36] Defusal_: there is more than network manager to manage network interfaces [11:36] ,, [11:36] , [11:36] ActionParsnip: ive tryed that alredy [11:36] Why does my irssi tell me I'm on Quakenet, wtf [11:37] Chipzzz: Thank you. I didn't realize I can check --help/man with that package. [11:37] .. [11:37] KNUBBIG: check your autoconnect/logins [11:37] KNUBBIG: Maybe you're on both? Is this in the status window (window 1)? If so, Ctrl+X to cycle between the connected servers. [11:38] ActionParsnip: geirha: thanks, but no it tells me this channel and me are actually on QuakeNet :> brb [11:38] much better. [11:39] Lasers: almost anything bash recognizes as a command has a --help option... man is not quite as widely available, though [11:41] ahoi. does anyone know how to disable "autoplay" for removable media for pcmanfm? [11:43] I need a libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 (>= 2.21.6) for lucid and can't find it in any of the repos.

[13:30] KMNsadface: having said that, I have recovered from serious mishaps before. it can be done [13:30] mbeierl: alright, where should i begin? [13:30] progzy, are you able to mount without "www_site1" ? [13:30] Ibis: I have opened about:config in firefox , Now what I will do? [13:31] viv: Follow the steps in the URL I gave you, you now do step 2. [13:31] mbeierl: Deleted or lost files can sometimes be recovered from failed or formatted drives and partitions. <--- Keyword is /sometimes/. [13:32] !find GL.h [13:32] KMNsadface: first thing I need to ask - and please don't take offence - is do you know what you did to get your disk to this state? [13:32] Found: glchess [13:32] hi people , how to change regulatory domain on UBUNTU 11.04 ? [13:33] greenmang0: ok I 've found the problem : me . No need to escape anything ... My bad ... I expected directories that are not supposed to be there. Thank you for your help === bwtl1000r is now known as tophat [13:33] is there some existing way (udev setting etc.) to make ubuntu auto-mount USB storage devices which don't have partitions, but rather have the whole device formatted using vfat? === tophat is now known as monacle [13:33] progzy, :) [13:33] how can i restore ubuntu to default settings fully [13:33] alexapr: You mean user settings.. or system settings. [13:33] system settings === monacle is now known as monocle [13:34] mbeierl: i had win7 and Ubuntu formated and WinXP i deleted WINXP and it screwed up my mbr, i tried to recover it by following a website and managed to f*** things up even worse, thats when i came here - i had to install Backtrack5 R1 because i couldn't boot from Ubuntu or Win7. [13:34] purge/reinstall packages is the only way i know of alexapr [13:34] hi people , how to change regulatory domain on UBUNTU 11.04 ? [13:34] alexapr: you can reset your user settings by removing all the hidden folders ni $HOME [13:34] KMNsadface: are you running from a live cd right now, or off an install from the hard disk that needs recovery? [13:35] mbeierl: also, i did some partitioning aswell, this was about 2-3weeks ago unfortunately this is my first attempt to fix it because i've been so busy. [13:35] mbeierl: currently running from the hard disk that needs recovery. [13:35] mbeierl: i do have a second computer beside me where i can come in IRC which would prob be ideal [13:35] hi [13:36] KMNsadface: is /dev/sda2 the only partition that has data which you cannot access? Are the other operating systems on the disk usable? [13:36] hi people , how to change regulatory domain on UBUNTU 11.04 ? [13:36] smaller_: modinfo check if it has parm like "all_channels" [13:36] smaller_: i dont think anyone even knows what a regulatory domain is.... [13:36] :) [13:36] !patience | smaller [13:36] smaller: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [13:36] mbeierl: i believe its just sda2 [13:37] i need to connect to channel 13 , but ubuntu shows just from 1 to 11 [13:37] KMNsadface: ok, is the main objective here to get access to the files, or to recreate the OS that was on sda2? [13:37] mbeierl: actually if i remember correctly the error accured after i tried installing backtrack5 R1, it overwrited the ubuntu in grub. [13:37] i just wanted to make a general comment: tasksel rocks. [13:37] thank you, that is all. [13:38] hello everyone [13:38] KMNsadface: as I am not familiar with backtrack, is that a linux distro, and is it there just for recovery, or do you want to keep it? [13:38] Hello everyone, I just upgrade 11.10 from 11.04. but when downloading, it failed. so I download many times. Right now, I think files should be downloaded completely, But when I reboot system, it will hang it "checking battery status" [13:38] any idea to fix it? [13:39] nullcore: just a general warning: don't attempt to uninstall anything using it ;) [13:39] mbeierl: i want to keep it, and yes its a linux distro. [13:39] !backtrack [13:39] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [13:39] mbeierl: http://www.backtrack-linux.org/ [13:39] how to stop "preparing to install ubuntu" window on a live CD ? [13:40] yixuan: You may need to re-install. When upgrade does not completely finish, it is hard to recover. [13:40] KMNsadface, read the bot post above [13:40] rabbi1: if its resizeing the hard disks.. you dont want to stop it. You could break any other os's or partitons on the disk. [13:40] KMNsadface: ok, so that's a start: you have a good installation on that disk, and you can boot it. The partitions other than sda2 are mountable and readable by backtrack. So, first, we will try to recover the sda2 partition. [13:40] viv: Lemme know if that worked out for you. [13:41] Ibis : Thank You ,I have done this [13:41] dr_willis: no no, its before partitioning, still in initial stage, the "quit" button has no effect [13:41] usr13: how can I re-install it? format my disk? or upgrade again? [13:41] KMNsadface: are you in backtrack right now? Is it possible for you to switch to an ubuntu live cd (or usb) for the remainder of this session? [13:41] rabbi1: sounds like its totally crashed. can you get to the console? You could just reboot the machine i guess. [13:41] dr_willis: i don't need to install it right now, just got to restore my previous grud, i just need to go to Live CD desktop [13:41] yixuan: If you have a separate partition for /home you can leave it un-formatted and re-use it after re-install. Otherwise, back-up your personal files and just reinstall and restore them. [13:41] usr13: another information is, if I type startx can work [13:41] rabbi1: you clicked install instead of 'try' at the start? [13:41] dr_willis: reboot is done, but takes lot of time to get back to this mode again [13:42] dr_willis: yeah, my bad [13:42] yixuan: It might. Try and see. [13:42] mbeierl: yes, i can change computers; but my LiveCD is actually on my ubuntu partition that i cant log into lol [13:42] rabbi1: not sure of the best way to get to it. if you can get to the console, you could try 'sudo service gdm restart' [13:42] dr_willis: o great, will try with F6 [13:42] mbeierl: if we fix my ubuntu ill be able to grab my USB drive folder from the Desktop and toss it on my USB stick, unless you want me to just redownload it. [13:42] KMNsadface: I'd like you to try the first step of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery#GNU_Parted and tell me what happens [13:43] dr_willis: no effect :( [13:43] oops sorry KMNsadface I thought you were one of those backtrackers looking for help it [13:44] KMNsadface: just note that if there's anything different about backtrack (like how to use apt-get to retrieve packages), I don't know how to help there, but other than that, tools are tools regardless of the linux flavour, I believe [13:44] dr_willis: what could be the process name of that ? [13:44] mbeierl: will i be doing these commands while on BT? [13:44] yixuan: Not certain what you have there (what condition your system is really in), but you will more-than-likely need an install CD. [13:45] KMNsadface: this is where the "keeping it in the channel" is handy. can anyone contradict me that parted is parted regardless of distro? [13:45] yixuan: ... CD or USB ... === marco is now known as Guest51811 [13:45] hello [13:45] mbeierl: I'm pretty sure parted is parted as well [13:45] KMNsadface: Let's just go ahead and try the parted steps under bt. [13:45] h00k: thanks :) === alex___ is now known as erozio [13:46] mbeierl: if you are going to help them with bt please join #backtrack-linux to do it. [13:46] BestRegards [13:46] mbeierl: okay for the 2nd command ill want to put /sda2 correct? [13:46] does anyone know how to install yagf? i got 10.04 [13:47] BestRegards [13:47] there's some alternative to Cairo-Dock? ;D [13:47] KMNsadface: alternatively, use an Ubuntu Live CD/USB [13:47] erozio: Waht is yagf? [13:47] IdleOne: i'm not helping with bt, I'm helping to recover a dead partition. I'm using ubuntu guides to do it. I'm just moving things along by not forcing a re-download and boot of the Ubuntu live cd at this stage. [13:48] Pici: software for converting text from jpg or smthing to txt =) [13:48] hello [13:48] hello [13:48] how do i [13:48] KMNsadface: no, as this is an operation on the entire partition table, we want to see what parted thinks of it as a whole, so "sudo parted /dev/sda" [13:48] Int-Vent-ive, docky [13:48] erozio: What do you mean?

[13:50] Hi [13:50] how to get into my laptop installed terminal, from live cd terminal [13:50] rabbi1: use a chroot [13:50] usr13: can I fix my current system? since gnome can work, but default when reboot, it will hang, not sure why. do you have the process? [13:50] erozio: Ah, I don't see any packages for it, I think you'd need to build from source. I suggest using checkinstall to facilitate that. [13:50] KMNsadface: ok, try just as /dev/sda. that makes sense that it's an unrecognized label as the partition itself does not have a partition table inside it :) [13:50] I have tried to install ubuntu multiple times, when it reboots to the HDD it boots up Ubiquity as if it's not installed, any ideas? I'm using USB [13:50] mbeierl: Where is that binary? [13:50] rude boy [13:51] jsebean: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?

Torrents help get good images [13:51] Pici: i have read about some repos of yagf, but i can't use them [13:51] and yes I even removed the USB but I am sure it's booting to HDD because I even changed the boot order to HDD [13:51] yixuan: Does gnome work?

[14:00] jsebean : you used live cd and THEN installed to USB? or directly? [14:00] Ristovski: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit [14:00] usr13 : I cant get on linux! [14:00] mix22891: if the file is stored on FAT or NTFS then it will not hold the executableness. You will need to mount the entire partition so that ALL files are executable. If it is stored in a linux file system then this will work fine [14:00] you get the point? [14:00] KMNsadface: ok, so it did not recognize a filesystem on the partition. you said that is the ubuntu install? So the filesystem should be ext4? [14:01] Pici: are u still with me? [14:01] erozio: It looks like getdeb has built packages for yagf: http://www.getdeb.net/software/yagf [14:01] Ristovski: calm down, pleaes [14:01] Ristovski: One of your partitions is obviously full. You need to find out which one it is and change partition sizes to suit your needs. [14:01] I cant...Im trying to fix ubuntu for 2 months [14:01] Pici: yes, llutz__ has told me that 2 mins ago [14:01] Ristovski : I used USB to install the OS. No CD involved. And I didn't boot in the "live cd" to test ubuntu at all, i just directly installed it [14:01] usr13 : there is 2GB left... [14:02] Ristovski: On which partitions? What partitions do you have? [14:02] Pici: by the way, how did u understand, that getdeb has packeges? [14:02] Is irc.ubuntu.com and irc.freenode.org the same server? [14:02] Does anyone else have an issue with terminal bells not sounding with Unity? [14:02] Promille_: yes [14:02] Pici: i mean, how to find repos? [14:02] Pici: ok, thanks [14:02] erozio: I just did some various google searches. [14:02] mbeierl: win7, [14:03] mbeierl: Sda1 is the boot i think or whatever for win7 and sda2 is the actual win7 [14:03] Hi all I checked the MD5 of both images i downloaded of ubuntu they are both identical to the md5 on the ubuntu website.... I am still getting ubiquity after I boot to the HDD, any ideas? I installed with USB, I used another computer with Ubuntu and used the startup disk creator to make the bootable USB. [14:03] Pici: ohhh i failed them =( there were only results in my native language, and there's nothing about getdeb [14:03] Pici: anyway, thanks a lot [14:03] KMNsadface: oh, sorry, misunderstood something then. ok, so the filesystem itself should be ntfs. give me a moment, please... [14:04] I'm using ubuntu 10.04 on a dell d600. My right alt key does not work. I've replaced the keyboard twice.. [14:05] since it looks like Banshee's metadata writing is a little conservative, I'm just putting together a quick and dirty Python script to force metadata updates using the banshee library DB [14:05] KMNsadface: humour me, tell me if "check 2" in parted does anything useful... [14:05] if anybody's interested give me a shout and I'll pastebin it [14:05] swim: Open a terminal and type xev and press the key and see if it shows anything [14:05] oh dear ignore my stupid question I found out whats up, now i feel dumb lol [14:06] apparently i had an Ubuntu CD also inserted in the Computer, when I took out the USB it booted from CD. UGH sorry [14:06] mbeierl: http://pastebin.com/Y2TfxR3F [14:06] onlineamateur no, it doesn't work there, and neither does the right ctrl key [14:06] hi. I'm under ubuntu 11.04 but i want to install in a different partition another linux distribution that would make my batery life longer in order to use it in trips. What advise can you give me? which distribution safe most battery? [14:07] javier__: that would probably be a better discussion for ##linux than in here. === sysadamin|away is now known as sysadamin [14:07] javier__: since it's not an Ubuntu specific support question [14:07] h00k: you are right [14:07] I'll go there. Thanks! [14:07] javier__ just install a lxde interface to your ubuntu [14:08] uit [14:08] KMNsadface: oooo. that's not so good. ok, so because it's ntfs and the tools there a little different than normal, the next thing I would recommend doing is finding enough space to make a copy of the partition data and work directly against that instead of the raw partition. [14:09] swim: Did it work right after you installed ubuntu? [14:09] KMNsadface: i don't suppose you have a spare 232gb disk lying around, do you? [14:09] nope, that's when i first noticed it i believe, i use that key all the time [14:09] swim: what is lxde interface? [14:10] mbeierl: i dont have enough space on this hard drive, but i have a computer beside me i could.. [14:10] mbeierl: i been meaning to reformat the other hardrive anyways so im not worried about losing the data on my other 500gb [14:10] KMNsadface: how will you copy it there? [14:10] javier__ there's some great tutorials online that explain installing alternative interfaces to ubuntu and the benefits of doing so [14:10] KMNsadface: or can you shut down and install it into the computer under repair? [14:11] mbeierl: i have no idea, i could just install the other hard drive in this computer.. === james_local is now known as jwheare_local [14:11] mbeierl: i mean is that what you're asking? is to make a backup of the partition im trying to recover? === richard is now known as Guest32983 [14:12] KMNsadface: yes, that is basically it. i would not want to attempt a repair and end up destroying your only copy of the data [14:13] swim: that would let me use both unity and lxde interface? is it to choose when loggin in as when you choose unity or classic ubuntu? [14:13] KMNsadface: the next step is to use the ntfsfix program to see if it can find anything useful in the partition. Syntax: ntfsfix /dev/sda2 [14:13] KMNsadface: but I would like you to have a backup before we try that [14:14] javier__ exactly.. only you'd be choosing to login using the lxde interface, which is like running lubuntu, much more lightweight of an interface [14:14] mbeierl: alright will you be here when i come back? [14:14] KMNsadface: why I thought that was your Ubuntu install partition is you said that the live cd was on the ubuntu partition and you could not get to it [14:14] swim: that's great, what I was looking for. Thanks, I will google more about it [14:15] KMNsadface: i should be, depending on how long you're gone :) I'm around for about 6 more hours [14:15] mbeierl: yeah, i have win7 and ubuntu, backtrack 5 r1 heh [14:15] javier__ it may not be the answer to your question, but it's worth knowing about and maybe trying at least [14:15] mbeierl: lol if it takes me 6hours to install a hard drive.. then id like you to shun me :p [14:15] KMNsadface: can you just mount that ubuntu partition and put it live cd iso onto a usb stick? [14:15] swim: looks better a light interface for my same distribution that another distribution. If it saves battery, may be what I'm looking for [14:16] KMNsadface: don't tempt fate, man. you have no idea how wrong things can go even with a simple hdd install :) But it is better now in the days of SATA than the old ide primary/slave [14:16] arand: why shouldn't i uninstall anything installed using tasksel? [14:17] mbeierl: im looking at gparted and i see /dev/sda3 ntfs /label ubuntu... [14:17] javier__ i'd at least give it a shot.. it's hard to find other distros that dual boot with ubuntu that don't end up being a big hassle.. now if you install ubuntu after having another distro installed, that's much easier.. [14:17] KMNsadface: so you should be able to "sudo mkdir -p /mnt/ubuntu ; sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/ubuntu" [14:18] mbeierl: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/843/91753173.png/ [14:18] KMNsadface: and voila, you have your ubuntu partition mounted [14:18] hi folks. in Gnome 2.32.1, how does a user remove the generated entry from under "Connect to server" when using/browsing the remote machine is done - ie: switch off(unmount) what they did with the GUI? [14:18] mb okay so just copy and paste " sudo mkdir -p /mnt/ubuntu ; sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/ubuntu" [14:18] (if anyone knows) [14:18] KMNsadface: oh. hold up... [14:18] javier__ but like those other guys said, i'd ask in the linux channels too.. there are some really knowledgeable people around this server who know a whole lot more about that stuff than i do.. i just thought i'd mention lxde or xfce because i personally like them so much [14:19] KMNsadface: it says that /dev/sda3 is filesystem type NTFS. Apparently /that/ is your Windows partition now?!? [14:19] mbeierl: honestly.. i have no idea my computer is trolling me :( [14:19] lxde is lighter than xfce, isnt it? [14:20] KMNsadface: so yes, let's try first: "sudo mkdir /mnt/recovery", then "sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/recovery" [14:20] mbeierl: /sda3 should be my Ubuntu i believe, /sda5 is Backtrack and /sda2 is win7.. i THINK [14:20] anyone has a solution for the kworker bug? http://fossplanet.com/f10/%5Bbug-717919%5D-re-acpi-kworker-high-interrupts-134097/ [14:21] KMNsadface: then do a "ls -al /mnt/recovery" and tell me if it there is a "/mnt/recovery/Windows" or "/mnt/recovery/lost+found" [14:21] KMNsadface: there will be lots of other files in that directory too [14:22] ah, scratch that, I think I've just had nautilus crash - I thought the desktop icon had been removed [14:23] mbeierl: http://pastebin.com/6Yt08hKs [14:25] KMNsadface: ?? Wow. that's a new one. Are there more there, or is that it? That is definitely an NTFS partition, as shown by the $RECYCLE.BIN [14:25] anyone here familiary with Wubi? Would take make an install like what is shown by KMNsadface's pastebin? [14:25] mbeierl: thats my ubuntu, i had WoW mounted from my win7 to ubuntu; and rhe recycle bin f*** knows lol [14:26] mbeierl: but i do remember seeing it before. [14:27] mbeierl: i did use Wubi to install ubuntu if that's what you're asking. [14:29] hi when I use pc="uname -n" its just write uname -n, how to make it execute command and write output? [14:29] *as variable [14:29] SpiderFred: pc=$(uname -n) [14:29] llutz_: thx [14:32] KMNsadface: ok, that makes sense. I've never actually seen a Wubi install before. It's somewhat ... unusual, but it makes sense that it installs Ubuntu under an NTFS file system. So, yes, then /dev/sda3 is your ubuntu install [14:32] KMNsadface: busy for a bit, go ahead and put the new HD into your box [14:33] depends diapers due to irritable bowel syndrm starting at age 50 is a very serious offense against ubuntu [14:33] What'S Wubi? [14:34] think of my future wife [14:34] Wubi is a windows installer for ubuntu inside windows [14:34] What's Windows? [14:35] javier__ yes it is.. sorry i fell asleep [14:35] please don't troll, MAREK_BENC_NetB [14:35] Ok [14:36] Is there a way i can Disassemble Initrd? [14:38] MAREK_BENC_NetB: gunzip Ty [14:41] hi, i have a dpkg question, i need to build a package with a "--enable-password-save " argument, can anyone tell me the syntax ,is it dpkg-i ----enable-password-save ? [14:41] itai_michaelson: you mean as an option to ./configure? [14:42] jrib, honestly , i'm not sure. in the man page it asked me to build the package with this option , i assumed it can be done with dpkg, [14:43] bbl [14:43] itai_michaelson: you would have to rebuild the package after editing debian/rules. What package? [14:43] mbeierl: okay sounds good, sorry for delay i had someone come to the door. [14:43] after update flash 10.3.183.10, my chromium askes for ... update 10.3.183.10 :( [14:43] jrib, openvpn , i've downloaded it with apt , a deb , it's sitting in my var directory [14:44] what do i need to do to get this right ? [14:44] !source | itai_michaelson [14:44] itai_michaelson: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [14:44] itai_michaelson: why do you need this option? [14:45] jrib, i want to autologin to the vpn server without having to input my credentials everytime [14:45] itai_michaelson: in fact I am looking at openvpn's debian/rules now and I see that it was buillt with --enable-password-save [14:47] hey guys [14:48] jrib, well whenever i run openvpn from the terminal everything is ok, but when i run this script "gnome-terminal --working-directory /etc/openvpn -e 'bash -lc "cd /etc/openvpn ;sudo openvpn --config 15\ -\ myvpn\ tw3.ovpn --auth-user-pass credentials ;bash"', it doesnt connect to the vpn, so i assumed it's the enable-password thing (only cause i saw it on the ubuntu forum and the guy who wrote it mentions that option) [14:48] i got qt 4.6.2, i need 4.7+ for some software, how to renew it? [14:49] itai_michaelson: i checked the natty version [14:49] jrib, oh I'm running karmic [14:50] jrib, can you check the karmic version for me ? [14:50] How do I check an environment variable? [14:50] LmtdAt: type export [14:50] echo envvar doesn't work, am I doing it wrong, or does the var not exist? [14:50] tomodachi, beautiful [14:51] LmtdAt: or echo $yourvariable [14:51] LmtdAt: echo $envvar [14:51] LmtdAt: beat you! [14:51] so, when DISPLAY=":0.0", what does that mean? [14:51] LmtdAt: it defines where your X server is supposed to start this means from a local machine [14:51] did llutz write reflector? [14:52] What if DISPLAY isn't present in export? [14:53] LmtdAt: either no X running or just no DISPLAY exported [14:53] llutz, ah [14:54] Is there a keyboard shortcut to open a new tab in a gnome-terminal? [14:54] hi [14:54] is oneiric beta 2 released? [14:54] itai_michaelson: i cannot, but you can :) Did you see ubottu's !source factoid? [14:54] martian: ctrl-shift-t [14:55] llutz_: thanks! [14:55] !karmic | itai_michaelson [14:55] itai_michaelson: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) was the eleventh release of Ubuntu. !End-Of-Life on April 29th 2011, see http://goo.gl/UUTAB for details. [14:56] after update flash 10.3.183.10, my chromium askes for ... update 10.3.183.10 :( what do i need to do to get this right ? [14:56] is oneiric beta 2 released? [14:56] !oneiric | gribouille [14:56] gribouille: 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 [14:57] jrib, i saw the link, this fetches the source, how do i tell if the that package was built with that option (yes i know i should upgrade, but my online banking depends on a very specific version of FF...) [14:57] how to update qt libraries? [14:57] jrib, that doesn't answer my question [14:57] itai_michaelson: read debian/rules in the openvpn* directory [14:58] gribouille: #ubuntu+1 for your question [14:59] jrib, is that before or after i build the package ? [14:59] itai_michaelson: no building, we're just reading the file [14:59] jrib, thanks [14:59] hello. can i create new email accounts without creating new ubuntu users? [15:00] itai_michaelson: if your "..online banking depends on a very specific version of FF.." and that needs ancient OS like karmic you'd consider to swap the bank ;) [15:00] llutz_: yes it does seem like an "interesting" policy [15:01] burg: depends on your mta, "virtual users" is the way to go [15:01] llutz, thanks, but i didnt choose the bank, my company did [15:02] llutz, i use postfix [15:02] Hi, can I pm anybody about a cultural question or thing? [15:02] itai_michaelson: swap it too :) but seriously: they should think about that, using that old stuff is not ver safe [15:02] anyone who has heard of and knows a solution for the kworker bug? http://askubuntu.com/questions/33640/kworker-what-is-it-and-why-is-it-hogging-so-much-cpu [15:03] 11.04 Suspend mode wont work. [15:03] burg: visit postfix.org, use the documentation, read about "virtual users" [15:04] itai_michaelson: does the site just not work with more recent firefox? If it's a useragent issue, I'd try just modifying that. Otherwise, I'd suggest running current ubuntu and installing the firefox version manually using an old tarball [15:04] has anybody used pgp with evolution email client? === Guest4221 is now known as diki [15:06] is it possible to install to a virtual harddrive and boot entirely from that (natively not a vm)? kind of like windows and its native .vhd booting? [15:07] a virtual harddrive has to exist somewhere - ram or a file [15:07] jrib, i think it was build with that option, can you please confirm it : http://paste.ubuntu.com/695147/ ? [15:07] itai_michaelson: yes, looks like it [15:08] jrib, ok, so i guess my problem is elsewhere..... [15:08] itai_michaelson: probably (I have to go now but would probably not be much help with openvpn anyway; good luck) === vincent is now known as Guest97857 [15:09] jrib, thanks, at least i learned about apt today [15:09] compdoc yes as a file, but windows can boot from that file and not an HD install which is what im trying to do with ubuntu if possible === qqwref is now known as cubemaster462 [15:11] hello [15:11] is there a way to make a password expire but [15:11] when i want to log back in [15:11] ask for a different password [15:11] I just installed and the firefox is 3. how do I make it upgrade to the 6. [15:11] lets say... temp passwords for an account [15:12] in Imagemagick, is it possible to set background color for deskew? [15:12] Teh_Lemon: Yes. The passwd command. [15:12] and when you come back, for example ask for root pass to generate a new one [15:12] hello [15:12] Teh_Lemon: You can use passwd to do lots of things with user accounts, like lock them, expire their passwords, etc. $ man passwd [15:13] will try [15:13] xD [15:13] ikonia: hey, what should i do? just got nothing now, tried all. unable to login to system root from live cd terminal :( [15:13] hello, I can't find mouse speed in mouse settings.. how to set it? [15:13] HOw to upgrade falsh in 64bit ubuntu 11.05 [15:13] *11.04 [15:13] you meant 11.04 [15:13] xD [15:13] rabbi1: why are you trying to login as root ? [15:13] Hello, Suspend mode wont work for me on Ubuntu 11.04 [15:14] ikonia: ok, let me chuck everything... I had 9.10 installed but crashed. grub is not loading, so what next ? [15:14] rabbi1: your machine has a hardware problem....... [15:14] yes [15:15] ikonia: apart from the CDROM? [15:15] rabbi1: it's not just the cdrom, [15:15] rabbi1: your hard disk is refusing to boot. [15:15] ikonia: how do i know that, if you could please tell? [15:16] rabbi1: how do you know what ? [15:16] hm... [15:16] i dont see that option [15:16] to ask for root password when creating a new temp password... only to ask someone to create a new one [15:16] ikonia: how can i know that my HDD is refusing? [15:16] How do I get rid of a process? [15:16] Hi All. I'm doing a tech refresh on a large email deployment, and looking for some tools to automate server deployment and configuration... any thoughts on where I could start? [15:17] rabbi1: you told me your machine crashed randomly while using it, your machine now refuses to boot, and there are devices missing from the bios [15:17] stercor_: wait or kill its parent (be carefull) [15:17] llutz_: How do I determine its parent? [15:17] ikonia: that's just CDROM, that could be problem with that , not other hardware, bios is detecting USB and HDD [15:17] stercor_: pstree [15:18] llutz_: Thanks! [15:18] ikonia: i am able to boot ubuntu live from the USB [15:18] rabbi1: why did your machine crash and your hard disk fail to boot [15:19] i dont see that option [15:19] to ask for root password when creating a new temp password... only to ask someone to create a new one [15:19] please advise... [15:19] maybe to lock account every 12h? [15:19] Hey guys! [15:19] Teh_Lemon, search for "-x" [15:19] Teh_Lemon, in man passwd [15:20] can anyone please tell me how i can copy the whole contents of a file edited with nano from the terminal? [15:20] hi [15:20] can someone help me configure a proxy? [15:20] Teh_Lemon, do you want to configure some kind of "guest" account? [15:20] What is the best programming application to use on Ubuntu, for someone who wants to learn programming? [15:20] LaWU: depends on the language you want to learn [15:20] i put the ip address and the port in the proxy switcher but doenst work === vinces_ is now known as vinces [15:20] LaWU, there is no "best" one... [15:21] Basically I'm looking for a way to have a zero touch server build, where I power something on and X minutes later it's got the OS installed, configured and ready to serve client load as whatever server type i've designated it. Someone must have put some doco into the wiki, I just can't find it :) [15:21] LaWU: perl [15:21] hm... [15:21] not guess [15:21] guest [15:21] my own account [15:21] i dont want multiple accounts [15:21] Teh_Lemon: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:21] i want it to lock itself every 12h. i have some personal problems that require such option [15:21] hi there, has anyone got any experience running latest banshee (from git) on ubuntu natty? I know there's a daily ppa but I was planning on trying to write extensions. [15:21] Hey- I'm about to resize my win7 partition so I can install Natty on my Vaio- is there a way to do it without the recovery CD? [15:22] Teh_Lemon: make a cron-job shutting down your machine every 12 hrs [15:22] 'cause I'm sorta in Afghanistan atm [15:22] hm... no shutdown [15:22] Petskull: no, you can't be using the disk while you're resizing it [15:22] I can't find mouse speed in mouse settings.. how to set it? [15:22] um... what? [15:22] Petskull: so you need to boot from somewhere else [15:22] if its already on, dont do anything [15:22] I mean after I resize the ntfs partition [15:22] or just lock computer and ask for ... 'higher power' to open it [15:22] unlock it* [15:22] Petskull: to resize a disk, you need to not be using the disk, so thats why you need to boot from a mediau [15:23] Petskull: sorry, am I miss-understanding. What is your question. [15:23] ok ok, I'm on an ubuntu livecd right now [15:23] Petskull: ok [15:23] @ikonia, rumpel & jpmh: Thanks for the answers. Well like I stated, I'm looking for something to learn programming on, so ofcourse, it should be easy to use, and it should have some form support/ guids online for new programmers. As for the language, I got no clue - suggestions? [15:23] I need to resize my ntfs partiton with gparted to make space for the ubuntu install [15:23] Teh_Lemon, i can't think of any scenario in which this would make any sense [15:23] Petskull: win7 can resize partitions, no need for a cd [15:24] hi [15:24] can someone help me configure a proxy? [15:24] i put the ip address and the port in the proxy switcher but doenst work [15:24] [15:24] I keep reading that this hoses win7 and I need the win recovery CD to fix it [15:24] h000pi: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:24] tr00l [15:24] that cd is kinda not an option for me [15:24] Petskull: is windows broke ? [15:24] Petskull: it shouldn't break it [15:24] Petskull: rezising the partition with gparted won't break windows [15:24] 2 users using computer. one is overusing, and he needs to be controled. without making 2 accounts. [15:24] so I ask you, what other options do I have? [15:25] Petskull: What do you mean? [15:25] Petskull: ask long as you've run all the precautions before hand (defrag, chkdisk, etc) you should be fine [15:25] um.. I remember I had to do backflips on WinVista because is made it hard on purpose [15:25] Teh_Lemon: theres hardly a technical solution for social problems [15:25] LaWU, There are tutorials/howtos for every known language on the web. But if you want to learn ubuntu/linux/etc., why not start with a shell (like bash) and start with little scripts? Maybe an backup-script? [15:25] someone? [15:25] Petskull: however, installing ubuntu will overwrite the boot manager used by windows (but the boot manager used by ubuntu can also boot windows) [15:25] someone? [15:25] asdasdasdfasdfas [15:25] h000pi: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:25] you sure win7 doesn't do the same thing? [15:26] ikonia, have you resized a Win7 partition? did it work with no problem? [15:26] i am teh ... 'god' one. so i want to limit computer that it self locks every 12h [15:26] lol [15:26] Teh_Lemon: perhaps you could explain your request again? I am not sure I understand what you would like done. You want your password to expire every 12 hours ... [15:26] Petskull: yes, many times === eyes_ is now known as EyesIsServer [15:27] Petskull: Me too, when i was a WinFAG [15:27] alright, you seems like a trustworthy fellow in you tux and stuff [15:27] Teh_Lemon, then i would recommend you to look for some kind of advanced user-control [15:27] MAREK_BENC_NetB: that attitude is unaccepable, please stop it now [15:27] thanks, MAREK_BENC_NetB [15:27] hi.. i am running ubuntu and i can't make deluge-daemon run on startup. i have to run sudo deluged and sudo deluge-web to start it up every time. can anyone help? i am new to linux! [15:27] understood [15:27] Teh_Lemon: oh, you don't actually want your password to change, you want the account to do something like lock the screen so that a password is required to access it again [15:27] ikonia: have no idea, i was using windows on virtual machine and openoffice writer that's it [15:27] do you know what I'm talking about resizing Win7? [15:27] dj_beirut: http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/UserGuide/InitScript [15:28] Petskull: yes, and it's fine [15:28] rabbi1: boot from a remote media, and see if you can mount the internal disk [15:28] it had those 2 immovable blocks at the end of the partition SPECIFICALLY so you couldn't resize it? [15:28] Petskull: Try to defrag? [15:29] because there's a few links out here that say you need the windows recovery CD- like the HowToGeek [15:29] ikonia: tried last time, but now again i am on it. trying to boot from USB, but takes lot of time, with that "DRDY ERR, and ABRT error " this runs continuously, takes heavy time to boot from USB [15:29] MAREK_BENC_NetB, yeah, that's what I'm thinking [15:29] Petskull: you don't need the windows CD, just resize using GParted and you should be fine [15:29] rabbi1: it sounds like you have a hardware error.......again [15:29] Petskull: just use gparted [15:30] alright- game on. Thanks, guys! [15:30] Teh_Lemon, maybe this could be useful for you: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/03/parental-control-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal/ [15:30] ikonia: ok, i think this time if i get ubuntu Desktop, will just take a backup of "File System" to EHDD [15:31] ikonia: will try once to restore grub.. last time when i typed "grub" it said "no grub installed". [15:31] Did I mention Unity doesn't come up on this LiveCD? I think my video drivers are crap here [15:31] mbeierl: you still here? [15:32] rubbs i have already done that.. but i can't run "sudo /etc/init.d/deluge-daemon start / stop" [15:32] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 0df0 (rev a1) [15:32] <---- Great.

[15:33] any one here use a E350 processor/GPU? [15:33] hello, i had a user in here earlier telling me it would be a better idea to backup my partition before i attempt to recover it, i just installed my spare hardrive - how do i COPY it and place it on my spare HD? [15:34] Jcook_5xData, I was looking for a fast, low power system to record security cam footage, and the E350 was one I looked at. But I didnt get it [15:35] Recommendations on a 300Gb "data" partition to be read from both Ubuntu and Windows? [15:35] NTFS? [15:35] Petskull: most likely, yes [15:35] too big for FAT32, I think [15:35] yeah, I'll do that [15:36] Petskull: you can use fat32 if you know for certain you won't be dealing with files over 4gb [15:36] Petskull: but yeah, ntfs is the better choice [15:36] Petskull: ntfs [15:37] Hey, look! Another Me! [15:37] ok, going to go defrag [15:37] (the compu is new, like 3 days old) [15:37] bye, Petskull!! [15:38] hey guys its 9/22 wheres beta 2?

[15:38] LaWU: one of the reasons I suggest perl is that there are so many beginners guides - things like lern perl in 30 days etc [15:38] Yah i know but im refering to beta 2 as mentioned in the release scedule [15:38] Petskull: no, you'll need windows for that, or a 3rd party too on liveCD etc [15:38] Petskull: not defrag, but you can chkdisk [15:38] wheres was the forumthread hold on [15:39] yeah, I'll reboot- no biggy [15:39] thanks a billion, guys [15:39] Goldline: its still oneiric, oneiric is discussed only in #ubuntu+1 [15:39] Goldline: until release day anyhoo [15:39] how can i check why a script is not running on startup??

Maybe you can compile a custom-version of gedit, that reacts to signals from command line. [16:18] will do, thanks [16:20] burg, I would recommend to try it with the /etc/skel, because we tried to do something like this too and it didnt work [16:21] We assume because the program (KDE) stored some data which are user-specific [16:21] and then the username stored in the file and the actual username mismatched when used in /etc/skel [16:21] I installed a package with checkinstall but I assigned it a lower version number the package provided in the repos and so the update manager nags me all the time.

[16:57] hi. in which package is /usr/include/bits/predefs.h? [16:57] I found that the same file has two names from ntfsundelete .So what's the reason. [16:57] Hi there! I have two Network Interfaces. One is configured as dhcp and the other one as static in /etc/network/interfaces. It all works pretty well except that every half an hour the DHCP client kicks in for *both* interfaces and updates the route and the IP address of the static iface. I have to ifdown eth0 && ifup eth0 to reload its static address and route settings. Does anybody know why? [16:58] !find /usr/include/bits/predefs.h | carli2 [16:58] It just has filename(1) and filename(2). how to recover this ... [16:58] carli2: File /usr/include/bits/predefs.h found in libc6-dev [16:58] Can anyone help? [16:58] glebihan: nice [16:58] I didnt know ubottu had that feature [16:58] I also have the "configure this interface automatically" tickbox unticked for both interfaces in preferences/network connections [16:58] soreau, ubottu is so good ;) [16:59] soreau: YES [16:59] CatKiller: check if the static interface is also defined in /etc/network/interfaces. If so, comment it out [16:59] vak: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CdDvd/Burning#Blu-Ray_Burning [17:00] angel56: It is defined, I defined it there. [17:00] carli2: check with apt-file [17:00] CatKiller: are you also using network mangler? [17:00] angel56: I hate the thing, I'm not using it [17:00] soreau: thx [17:00] vak: Seems like its the same as burning a regular image to disk.. look into k3b and wodim too [17:00] angel56: Just used it to untick these two boxes [17:00] CatKiller: ok....takes care of that problem [17:01] trying to find dhclient.conf [17:01] but the manpage doesn't reference its location [17:01] !find dhclient.conf [17:01] File dhclient.conf found in dracut-network, ebox-network, isc-dhcp-client, isc-dhcp-common, synce-hal, wicd-daemon [17:01] CatKiller: /etc/dhcp [17:01] I'm one of the upstream maintainers of https://launchpad.net/rt/ -- https://launchpad.net/rt/+packages shows that request-tracker3.8 packages list rt/4.0 as upstream, instead of rt/3.8 What's the right way to fix this on launchpad, as I don't seem to have rights to change them myself? [17:01] if i use skel to create new folder, can i somehow also set permissions to that folder? [17:01] angel56: Thanksa lot! [17:02] chmrr: Perhaps try #ubuntu-devel [17:02] angel56: No luck, everything is commented out there. [17:02] clonezilla is good for cloning hardrives? [17:03] angel56: I don't mind using the network manager, but it won't tell me which interface is eth0 and which is eth1! [17:03] CatKiller: can't help you with nm...I hate it and long ago went to wicd [17:03] KMDsadface: it'll do, but I'd just use dd [17:03] chmrr, there's also a #launchpad channel [17:03] alkafoo: whats DD? [17:03] CatKiller: sudo lshw -C network will [17:03] angel56: wicd? I'd have to try [17:03] KMDsadface: of course, there's not much point cloning an entire drive unless it's a proprietary OS [17:03] KMDsadface: man dd [17:04] CatKiller: Its probably NetworkManager being weird. I usually dont use it and do everything manually [17:04] soreau: I do everything manually but it interferes! [17:04] CatKiller: if you are comfortable with the config files, just take out nm and do the network manually [17:04] ActionParsnip: did it, won't map the ethX interface to "Wired connection X" found in Network Manager [17:04] angel56: I didn't know I could get rid of this package [17:04] CatKiller: If you already have it setup manually, chmod -x $(which NetworkManager) and reboot to stop it from running altogether [17:05] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_%28Unix%29#Examples [17:05] soreau, glebihan: Thanks, I'll try #launchpad [17:05] CatKiller: Its in /usr/sbin/ IIRC [17:05] KMDsadface: is it for a Windows install? [17:05] soreau: Arg, can't reboot this system however [17:05] KMDsadface: Basically "DiscDupe" , you can use it to make an image file of an entire harddrive like: sudo dd if=/dev/ of=/outputfile/filename.img [17:05] CatKiller: Then just remove the executable bit and kill the process [17:05] CatKiller: you can do the chmod and then just kill the nm process [17:05] alkafoo: Win7,Ubuntu, Backtrack5 R1 [17:05] soreau: Although it must be a daemon running in the background [17:05] soreau: ok [17:05] alkafoo: im trying to repair my windows, yes. [17:06] CatKiller: sudo service network-manager stop [17:06] CatKiller: Should stop it for that session [17:06] soreau: did kill, it's gione now [17:06] KMDsadface: repair? What's broken? [17:06] cool, I only need that for that sessions [17:06] soreau and angel and everybody else: Thanks for your help! [17:06] We'll see if that takes [17:06] CatKiller: no problem [17:06] alkafoo: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/843/91753173.png/ [17:07] it's already faster!

[17:08] KMDsadface: hrmmm [17:08] CT1: usually in /media [17:08] CT1: not just fuse, but auto-mounts in general [17:09] CT1: 'mount' will tell you [17:09] alkafoo: i was told i should back up my hardrive before i continue, which is very important because i need my data and cant afford to lose it. === sysadamin|away is now known as sysadamin [17:09] even killing the NM didn't do. It had to be killed with the command above! [17:09] nasty thing this Network Manager [17:09] KMDsadface: well backups are good, but unless you suspect the hardware is failing, you could probably just proceed to the fixing part [17:09] It's to be avoided! [17:09] genii-around: would dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb be correct? [17:09] CatKiller: which is probably why so many of us have left it behind [17:09] KMDsadface: for which I'd suggest consulting ##windows [17:10] angel56: I understand now. I kept thinking update after update that it would get better [17:10] CatKiller: network manager is one of the best things about the gnome desktop, what's the issue with it ? [17:10] CatKiller: Thats why I said to remove the executable bit first.. if its killed, it will just restart itself [17:10] alkafoo: yeah, i rather make 100% sure i have my stuff; id feel more safe. [17:10] KMDsadface: better of=some/path/to/a/file.ddimg [17:10] gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/me/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=me) [17:10] genii-around: would dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb be correct? [17:10] CatKiller: it's called sns [17:10] KMDsadface: fair enough =) [17:10] CatKiller: But that means it wont run ever again until you set the bit back === Jazon- is now known as pikapika [17:10] alkafoo: uhm, no idea what that means lol [17:10] KMDsadface: might check out http://mark.koli.ch/2009/05/howto-whole-disk-backups-with-dd-gzip-and-p7zip.html === pikapika is now known as pikapika- [17:10] KMDsadface: you don't have to copy it over another entire disk, you can output to a file [17:11] of=/home/kmdsadface/olddiskbroken.img [17:11] just make sure you have teh space [17:11] and the space [17:11] KMDsadface: If you want to make an exact copy of sda onto sdb then yes. Be careful that sdb is same-size or larger. Also they will end up with same UUID after which is not so good if you plan to use them both in same system at same time. [17:11] Question: What is the reason to use UUIDs instead to /dev/???? in the fstab? [17:11] gnaddel: it's slightly more specific, matching filesystems, not hardware [17:11] genii-around: uuids don't change [17:12] gnaddel: I don't personally see the reason [17:12] gnaddel: it allows the system to use the same name for the same hard drive. If you have six usb drives, you can identify each by name [17:12] angel56: But it seems to be getting worse! [17:12] angel56: There was more configuration options with it before than there is now! [17:12] gnaddel: uuids don't change [17:12] genii-around: sorry about the message, my bad :( [17:12] aeon-ltd: I think thats what I just stated. If you dd sda to sdb then it will be identical, including the UUID [17:12] it's the boring computer version of FS labels, which you can set to anything like 'weeepurpledrive' [17:12] CatKiller: that is supposed to be an 'ubuntu improvement' [17:12] aeon-ltd: Ah, no worries [17:12] well it will be identical, that's all you have to say [17:13] CatKiller: probably why some of us are moving to debian, or something else [17:13] genii-around: yes, i want to make an exact copy, the other hardrive is exactly the same size; so what can i do to prevent UUID. [17:13] KMDsadface: you don't have to worry about UUIDs [17:13] Related question: Why does my system still boot even though I have listed a wrong UUID in the fstab? (I moved my install to a larger hdd and didn't edit the fstab) [17:13] KMDsadface: and again, I suggest not copying to the other drive unless you mean to use _that_ drive regardless of whether you can fix the other [17:13] alkafoo: Thanks. I was looking in /media "mount" told me it was in ~/.gvfs/xxx. Are you paid for your work? You always seem to be online and in possession of all the answers.... an advanced A.I. bot perhaps? Keep it up and thanks again! [17:13] angel56: Yes, there has been disapointments with Ubuntu lately. I mean it didn't improve much, and now the move to Unity and stuff. This is a bit much. [17:14] KMDsadface: just of=/home/foo/somefile.img [17:14] CT1: does eye strain count? [17:14] alkafoo: i have no idea what that means [17:14] KMDsadface: okay of= is for the output path [17:14] KMDsadface: Is the filesystem ext2/3/4 or something else? [17:14] alkafoo: i just want to make backup on a hardrive then attempt to repair one so it doesnt screw up and lose everything [17:14] KMDsadface: you're copying from /dev/sda (if=/dev/sda, input file) [17:15] KMDsadface: right [17:15] right [17:15] KMDsadface: so dd if=/dev/foo of=/home/example/directory/path/anyfilenameyouwant.img [17:15] it's not worth cloning _over_ another disk, it's much saner to store as a simple file [17:16] and heads up it'll probably take several hours unless the disk is quite minute [17:17] well now im just confused as SH** [17:17] KMDsadface: if you have to star out a word, don't use it please. [17:17] alkafoo: i just want to repair my windows without worrying about losing the data that's all. [17:18] KMDsadface: FWIW, of means output file and if means input file [17:18] KMDsadface: I know, I know [17:18] KMDsadface: what part are you confused about? [17:18] In the context of dd [17:19] alkafoo: i understand the if/of, but you're saying its not worth cloning the entire disk?; is it possible if i try to repair my win7 that it can ruin my other partitions aswell? [17:19] and FWIW means For What Its Worth ;) [17:20] KMDsadface: no I'm saying it's not worth copying one disk's data _over_ another disk's [17:20] KMDsadface: instead you should copy one disk's data _to a file_ [17:20] it's the difference between [A] -> [B] and [A] -> [B]/somefile.img [17:21] in this situation, anyways, there are times when it's a decent enough enterprise [17:23] alkafoo: yeah im not really comfortable in following that 10step thing from that website, i already tried following a guide earlier and i believe thats what damaged it even more. === macer1-zlyklon is now known as macer1 [17:24] * alkafoo shrugs [17:24] what is it you think you did that damaged it more?

I used Gnome for quite a while, and then switched to awesome wm and started using wicd for network management (wireless). Everything worked perfectly for a few weeks, until a few days ago. I woke up and found that I couldn't connect to my home network, I could see it and a few other networks nearby, and I could begin [17:25] i need to take an image and add highlighter marks on it.. [17:25] alkafoo: honestly no idea, its been like 2 weeks since i attempted it. [17:25] am i going full gimp for that? [17:25] yacc: I'd reboot then read through: dmesg | less to see what's going on [17:27] alkafoo: it first started i think when i removed WinXP when i had Win7 and Ubuntu on a tri-boot, the mbr wasn't allowing me to load up into win7 so i got ticked off and tried to find it out then between that and something else the file ended up being uknown and i ended up installing backtrack5 R1 aswell.

[18:07] yes [18:07] weird :( [18:08] I'm running ubuntu on a chromebook, so I'm using the chromeos' linux kernel. I'm noticing the kernel version I'm using doesn't match the installed linux-libc-dev version, but there isn't a package available to install for a version that far back (2.6.28.3+). so I probably shouldn't be building anything that uses the kernel header files, right? I mean its only slightly minor versins but... [18:08] pimp:channels above 11 are international, not US [18:08] alkafoo: no xorg.conf and xrandr won't allow me to force that resolution [18:08] jimbozone: sorry don't know: http://www.google.com/search?q=radeon%20fglrx%20resolution%20site%3Aubuntuforums.org [18:08] angel56: but what to do to connect to my wireless with channel 13 ? [18:08] sammy: can you lsb_release -a for me? [18:09] sammy: why not use Ubuntu's kernel? [18:09] pimp: i believe hak5 has an entire epi on channels. If you want a quick and easy look into it. [18:09] I'm from EU , and here is legal that channel [18:09] alkafoo: thanks [18:09] pimp: perhaps the hardware doesn't support it [18:09] hello, inputting two directions on dns servers is better than just one? [18:09] hi what is this error ...http://picpaste.com/Image0022-UGtCS6gB.jpg [18:09] mbeierl: check that link I sent to jimbo ^ [18:09] ActionParsnip : this output from tty1. (-Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)after some more output like this i give "exit" command and than it send me to some menu where i choose "startx". after that it beautifully uploads the GUI gnome, no unity. [18:09] in windows XP works perfect the same hardware [18:10] nuclearworm: what does that mean? [18:10] pimp: what hardware is it? [18:11] alkafoo: to use the chromebook in a dualboot, the chromeos loader by default only loads google signed kernel images. to use ubuntu's kernel would mean disabling the ability to dual-boot. its possible, iirc [18:11] pimp: I suspect it is more a driver/module issue. The modules for that wifi card have probably not yet implemented EU support [18:11] ActionParsnip: how to find out what driver is nvidia using now that i am on GUI? [18:11] sammy: ...why are you dual booting [18:11] so i got myself a new hard drive and i want to use the whole thing, i seem to have two choices: (1) partition table (MBR) with one partition, (2) unpartitioned, is there any reason to choose one over the other? [18:11] h00k: x-micro wlan card [18:12] adi11: jump through a million menu items, or run sudo lspci -k | less [18:12] how can i give write permissions only to one user? [18:12] angel56: Not it isn't issue of hardware , but the channels above 11 are ilegal in US so are disabled by default on Ubuntu [18:13] burg: make him owner of the file and only allow write by the owner === faz is now known as faz|meeting [18:13] pimp: that's what I said [18:13] alkafoo: its not my chromebook :) but thats a good question. because other than a lack of hard drive space, I didnt think there were any glaring issues. OH also because I believe some of the hardware, don't you have to boot into chromeos first, then restart (not power off) the machine, and then reboot into ubuntu so the hardware is initialized? I think the 3g modem might require such tomfoolery [18:13] adi11: sudo lshw -C display | grep driver [18:13] angel56: but why in windows XP works [18:13] alkafoo: but I could be wrong. [18:13] pimp:I suspect you have european drivers for winxp [18:14] adi11: nouveau|nv = open driver nvidia=proprietary [18:14] alkafoo : thanks. OMG ridiculous. how to type that vertical line on keyboard. [18:14] kilrae: Id use a parition table. makes it easier to make changes later, if you ever wanted to. [18:14] angel56: but i think there is an option to change that , they thought even for EU [18:14] kilrae: though I will admit I didnt know unpartitioned was an option [18:15] Hi [18:15] ActionParsnip: adi11 its probably optimus [18:15] Can anyone Help me with a bilbee setup [18:15] pimp: well, you have access to the source code for the module; change it to support european channels [18:15] adi11: On most keboards it's upper-case \ [18:15] i cant find any accurate info [18:15] SIFTU: very likely. I hate that thing, so annoying [18:15] sammy: it's just a Linux distro, pick the one you want and use just it [18:15] ActionParsnip: tell me about it [18:15] but where to find that module , in which folder [18:15] hi!, in my laptop with ubuntu 11.04 i put the brightness at the minimum, but still too shine for me, it there a way to decrease the brightness even more? thx [18:16] kilrae: I also would suggest looking into separating certain directories into their own partition, like /usr or /var or /home. its good practice in case something goes horribly wrong [18:16] adi11: also run the following "lspci|grep -i VGA" [18:16] in0cula: xgamma [18:16] pimp: in the kernel source packages [18:16] sammy, neither did i, just saw it today, i can't seem to find any information on it [18:16] in0cula: but you might like xcalib -i -a even more [18:16] adi11: and tell me how many lines there are [18:16] what the exact name of wifi modul ? [18:16] #pimp only for info. don't do it if you are not sure what you are doing. :) http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=43351 [18:16] thanks guys. my nvidia driver now running is "nouveau" [18:17] alkafoo: as I said, I think I need chromeos to be able to initialize the 3g modem, or Id lose that functionality completely in ubuntu. but I need to do more research. [18:17] adi11: that's the open source one [18:17] Does Ubuntu 11.04 run natively on ARM processors? (I want to put Ubuntu on an Asus Eee Pad, Transformer ... also curious about any information on driver compatibility with the Tegra 2 chipset, the proprietary keyboard dock on it etc and where I can get more details since some of my searches have been in vain [18:17] the guide is not even also not for your hardware [18:17] sammy: that's incredibly unlikely [18:17] not even for your hardware* [18:18] what do you think is the solution ? === don is now known as Guest32864 [18:18] SIFTU : 00:12.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C67 [GeForce 7150M / nForce 630M] (rev a2) === Guest32864 is now known as D_Russ [18:18] sammy: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Devices if you want to know for sure [18:19] hello [18:19] #in0cula is your GPU from nVidia? [18:19] how is everyone [18:19] adi11: ok, and thats the only line [18:19] alkafoo: I know it was definitely that way six months ago, but it may have changed since. the cr-48 is quite weird with its hardware. sometimes if it falls asleep, you have to reboot the machine to get all your hardware functionality back, ie xbacklight starts to report that nothing installed supports backlight control. its odd. [18:19] sammy: but in all likelihood, as with everything else Google does, they took an open source driver and hardware known to work with it [18:19] alkafoo: and then tweaked it, like they do :P [18:19] sammy: that doesn't necessarily mean the drivers are not open source =P [18:19] sammy: you can probably see if there's a chromebook or chromeium os channel and talk with them about it [18:19] sammy: Google may have even _added_ the bugs [18:20] like they do [18:20] 'extra undocumented features' :) [18:20] h00k: good call. im sure there is. my original question was about finding older versions of libc headers. but there's no such repository of old packages lying about, right? [18:20] there usually is [18:20] pimp: if you really need that channel, you might blacklist the wifi module you are using, install ndiswrapper, and try using the winxp driver you say works [18:21] seems like a waste of time, though, for dual booting two Linux distros [18:21] doh.. totally forgot my nickreg pwd.. [18:21] SIFTU : yes. only one [18:21] fireprint: did you forget your nickreg email? [18:21] nope [18:21] adi11: ok, well then thats good [18:21] then you're good =P [18:21] #pimp either hack the ROM for your Wi-Fi card to force EU-region or try to find another driver. as you say it works with Windows XP. so the channels is not disabled by hardware. well, maybe the driver can unlock but not sure in your case [18:21] alkafoo: all I remember is that using the 3g modem in anything other than chromeos required booting into chromeos, initializing the modem, and then rebooting the machine. as i said, I'm hoping this has changed since, but I stopped looking into it. if I can find an older version of linux-libc-dev I can push it back to my current kernel version, along with the headers for module building, which are also a few versions too new. [18:21] oh. sweet. [18:21] no it is ATI [18:21] ati 5470 [18:22] SIFTU : you think i should install the nvidia proprietary driver?

Any tip on where i should be looking? [18:24] #Jargoon DMG contains a filesystem. Do you want to burn the filesystem and its content or just the plain DMG-file? [18:25] nevermind alkafoo, i see you are busy helping people out. Ill google it. thanks tho [18:25] i am having an issue with restarting of natty, my mouse and keyboard. i have a belkin kvm switch installed (windows machine and ubuntu machine) 2 keyboards, 1 ps2 keyboard connected to the ubuntu (always works) and a usb mouse and keyboard connected to the belkin kvm switch. the problem is that the kvm KB & mouse does not work for atleast 3-5 minutes when i restart ubuntu. Anyone know of any... [18:25] ...solutions or experiencing the same thing? [18:26] guys i have 3 drivers available: Nvidia accelerated grapichs driver (version 173), Nvidia accelerated grapichs driver (version current) {reccomanded}, and Experimental 3d support for nvidia cards. which one? [18:27] #adi11 the recommended one is working fine... at least on my box :) [18:27] Psycho_Squid : did u do somthing with boot option like "nomodeset" or anything else? [18:28] How can I burn .dmg files? [18:28] Jargonn: read up [18:28] Psycho_Squid : i cant bot normally on ubuntu. it hangs on the purple screen after grub page. [18:28] #Jargoon maybe you can convert the DMG-file to ISO and then burn it [18:29] #adi11 you sure it has to do with the nVidia driver? [18:29] Psycho_Squid: I would like to burn a mac os x loin dmg to a disk so I can install it [18:30] Jargonn: just copying it over should suffice [18:30] Psycho_Squid thats what some other people here think.. [18:30] Jargonn: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManageDiscImages mentions them [18:30] fireprint: ask #freenode if you can't figure it out [18:31] #adi11 ok. is the system in a deadlock or can you press CTRL+ALT+F1? [18:31] i have tried unplugging and nothing works [18:31] xgamma don't change brightness :(( [18:31] any idea on ati , i need less brightness [18:31] ah ok, thanks alkafoo. Appreciated [18:31] #Jargoon you can extract a DMG-file to a separate disk using the command dd. Is that what you want to do? [18:32] Psycho_Squid: you do realize adding # to the start of nicks makes highlighting not work. This isn't twitter [18:32] Psycho_Squidafter grub page i choose ubuntu recovery and goes to tty. i live it like that for 5 min after all output i give command "exit". than it gives me the menu where i choose "startx" [18:32] exit === fran is now known as Guest11394 [18:33] Is there a way I can tell which files a program is trying to open?

I even tried added a 50GB partition via disk manager with ext4 and it still doesn't see it [18:36] jwiggins: does the drive detect in bios? Have you tried [18:36] zooka: yes it does, i can't believe I have been using this stuff for over a year and still haven't known about that [18:36] jwiggins: tried natty live cd [18:36] ActionParsnip, yes, and I can mount it when I cancel the installation [18:36] where is germa ubuntu?

It is part of a package, but I don't recall which package [18:42] vikram: it is part of 'sox' [18:43] vikram: it will use the configured sound device [18:43] nevermind, found it: apt-get install ia32-libs [18:43] synackin [18:43] Hiya awesome fun peeps [18:43] I'm new to Linux, and I was hoping for some support in installing Kubuntu [18:43] aplay is in a default install too angel56 vikram [18:44] ActionParsnip: yeah, but sox installs so many neat toys [18:44] MTPrower: give some details and the channel will help if it can [18:44] I installed Ubuntu 11.04 over Win7(as in formatting the machines hdd and installing ubuntu after) and when I try to boot up the computer I get an error saying 'error : no such device :' and a long alphanumeric string after and below that an input line saying 'grub rescue>' [18:45] Chotaz: you can boot livecd and reinstate grub from there. [18:46] ActionParsnip: I attempted installations last night and failed miserably. I have a CD and a flash drive. I prefer the flash drive. I have three partitions right now: System reserved, NTFS, 100 Mb, System, Primary; Storage, NTFS, 400 GB, Boot, Primary; and Linux, EXT3, 65 GB, None, Logical [18:46] ActionParsnip: I need to keep that 400 GB untouched [18:48] ...wow... enter and leave spam... [18:48] *enter-and-leave spam [18:48] it seems that MTPrower didn't get the installer to run, from my talking to him [18:48] I haven't installed ubuntu in a while [18:48] Urchin: lol hiya Urchin. I got the installer to run, but it failed without an error message [18:49] MTPrower: that's fine. Fixing grub doesn't touch NTFS. [18:49] Urchin: it got to a slideshow where it was supposed to be installing and played the slideshow, but did nothing else for 6+ hours [18:49] what is best irc-application for ubuntu?

[18:50] MTPrower: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:50] ...lol [18:50] Ludipe: make sure xfdesktop is running [18:50] MTPrower: grub is the boot loader that boots the os [18:51] Ludipe: and make sure nautilus isn't [18:51] ActionParsnip: does Grub install Kubuntu or only Ubuntu? [18:51] alkafoo: ok, i am gonna check it [18:51] MTPrower: no. the user installs Kubuntu - grub boots it === derpz is now known as derp [18:51] io: yeah, I've been having trouble installing Kubuntu. Booting it isn't the problem. Yet. [18:51] ActionParsnip: im currently on liveCD can you help me from here, I never dealt with grub. [18:52] MTPrower: it loads the kernel then the drives and such. The fact you use KDE instead of Gnome is moot [18:52] MTPrower: then why are you worrying about grub? [18:52] That reminds me. I want Linux on my hard drive, not on a live CD or USB [18:52] io: I was just asking what it was [18:52] MTPrower: you can use the live CD to install it to your hard drive [18:53] hi there. I completely messed up my audio settings (worked quite fine, only had some a/v sync problems) and now I'd love to find a way to just remove all alsa, pulseaudio, gstreamer and whatnot stuff and add a clean setup of all of this from scratch. Is there a way to do this? [18:53] Is there a way to make Windows my default OS for my gaming machine? I tried modifying the default line, but as sune as the kernal updates, it's undone. [18:53] This is in grub [18:53] /msg NickServ identify Karano00 === chris__0076 is now known as chris_0076 [18:53] Xeneth: you need to modify the custom config [18:53] io: If I have an EXT3 partition of 65 GB set apart for all Linux-related stuff, do I need to do anything else before I run the liveCD again?

[18:54] alkafoo: except for the fact that I can't afford to lose what's on my larger partition [18:54] MTPrower: requirements are outlined here, with a lot of other useful information regarding the install process: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation [18:55] MTPrower: right, but the installer doesn't just randomly delete stuff =) [18:55] tarek_, alsa is the default driver for most audio cards , pulseaudio is redundant unless you use several audio sources simultaneously ...most likely if you have audio lag it's the [layer/source file's fault [18:55] io: I've seen those. I was asking more about actions to be taken [18:55] player /source file [18:56] MTPrower: if you've read it then why are you asking what is required? it's clearly outlined here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements#Ubuntu_Desktop_Edition [18:56] MTPrower: or do you want me to type what's on that page for you? [18:56] ...so if I'm booting a USB installation of Windows, I can just boot the compy with the USB in. I tried doing that with my liveUSB, but I'm not sure it worked... [18:56] vikram: grub would not boot a game alone. [18:57] io: ...look, I've read tons of pages. It's all a bunch of mess to me. Some people don't learn how things work through the same kind of teaching media as others [18:57] vikram: wouldn't have the enviroment variables to run it. It's for choosing and booting the OS. [18:57] or at least wallpaper ... ? [18:57] MTPrower: you're asking about requirements; those are the requirements. it couldn't be any simpler [18:57] okay ... it's just that I messed around with everything, executed a whole lot of stuff I found in forums and tutorials etc. and now some things are worse than before (for example my speakers won't mute if I plug in my headphones) [18:58] so. I now have purge. What do I do to "reset" all my audio stuff? (sry, I really not that experienced with this ^^) [18:58] anyone know anything about resolving some keyboard andmouse issues in natty? [18:58] ActionParsnip: im currently on liveCD can you help me from here, I never dealt with grub. [18:58] io: I never once asked for hardware requirements here. I said I was having problems with installation. I definitely meet hardware requirements [18:58] why oh why... I cannot launch libre office anymore because it hangs compiz with 100% cpu usage as the startup banner reaches about 50% loaded... restarting compiz gets me out of it, but I cannot find the libre office window anywhere... even though the soffice.bin process is still there [18:59] Chotaz: there are guides all over the web for it [18:59] MTPrower: during the install process ubuntu ask you where you wish to install. It then uses gparted to resize each partition according to what you choose. As long as you do not oversize the one you are installing ubuntu on you are golden. [18:59] D_Russ: issues? [18:59] MTPrower: you asked about requirements before booting the live CD [18:59] mbeierl: does it affect all users? [18:59] io: I asked about what I should do, not about what I need [18:59] mbeierl: have you killed the process? [18:59] ActionParsnip: ? I'm the only user on this system. [18:59] io: sorry if I miscommunicated [18:59] hi [18:59] mbeierl: make a new user to test then... [19:00] sunice: yes, I killed it. The soffice.bin that is [19:00] BRB awesome fun peeps. Gonna try installing Ubuntu again [19:00] ActionParsnip: ah, ok [19:00] somebody knows how add more desktop in ubuntu 11.04 with unity? only I've 4 desktops [19:00] ActionParsnip: im not an expert with ubuntu or linux at all, I thought live help would get things done faster, but i-ll search around :) you said I need to reinstate grub? [19:00] mbeierl: then on re-launching it hung again. [19:00] Chotaz: nobody is born one either [19:01] ohwait, one more question that I asked but was not responded to yet: I have a USB stick with Kubuntu on it. How do I activate the installer? Can I just reboot my compy with the flash drive in it, or do I have to do something else? [19:01] i m login from empathy in the freenode account but iit is asking a password my nick is reg but i dont remember the password so how can i et that password/.?? [19:01] ActionParsnip: got me there, I might have found something useful, I gonna try this and will be back later with a report [19:01] mbeierl: if case then have you tried looking at the process tree to see if it's a sup-process?

[19:11] just/exact* [19:12] pikapika-: the simplest way would be to install to a partition with kvm/qemu, then you can just add another entry to GRUB for that partition [19:12] pikapika: everything is possible but it takes some effort :) [19:12] alkafoo: sorry, I'm working.

[19:13] pikapika-: why. Grub2 is free... [19:13] ActionParsnip: what about try to use features from Virtualbox in some fancy way?

[19:17] but it seems ubuntu doesn't respond to it [19:17] alkafoo what I'm trying to accomplish is booting from a file, windows uses .vhd because well thats microsoft's format for virtual disks but either way their bootloader boots the .vhd file as if it were a fully partitioned HD install, I'm trying to accomplish something like that with linux be it .iso or squashfs or whatever i just need some kind of guide to follow ;d [19:17] so i hope there is another way other than opening the laptop [19:17] rg [19:18] Anyone heard what did Obama say about Palestine?

[20:58] can any 1 help me? [20:58] tonywade: depending on your question [20:58] Mike33: You can use gpg --gen-key to generate a key pair, then I believe you need to output the public key to a file, but I don't know exactly how to configure the repository to use that key file for signing [20:58] tonywade: It's quite likely. [20:58] hi [20:58] Mike33: the packages are signed with a key, that key needs to get imported on client-side [20:59] Mike33: the repo itself doesnt have a key, just the packages [20:59] what do i do after i have used the pastebin [20:59] send that link to someone? [20:59] ok [20:59] iceroot: Isn't the key information supplied by the repository? I recall when using add-apt-repository it pulls some signing information [20:59] that's why you upload something to pastebin, right? [20:59] i would like to download the new version of assultcube but it is not on the software centre what do i do? [21:00] iceroot: i.e. the packages are signed individually but the repository is configured to tell the client that all packages are signed with x key? [21:00] Polah: the packages are signed with a key, the key can be stored in the repo or is part of a package (ubuntu-keyring e.g.) [21:00] Polah: imo [21:00] hello? [21:01] I installed Ubuntu 11.10 and then gnome-shell [21:01] can I change LightDM to start Gnome3 instead of Unity? [21:01] I'm planning to conduct a Ubuntu Party in my University [21:01] Tophan: #ubuntu+1 for oneiric questions until it's released, please [21:01] can someone tell me how can i get swags for it? [21:01] D_Russ: [ 31.600037] usb 1-3: device descriptor read/64, error -110 this seems to be the issue for your mouse/keyboard-problems [21:01] !notunity-#ubuntu+1 | Tophan: but anyway [21:01] Tophan: but anyway: To use GNOME Shell on Oneiric, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place a new entry in the Sessions dropdown on the login window. [21:02] anyone use BitchX? [21:02] iceroot:; so do i google that line [21:02] i would like to download assualt cube what do i do? [21:02] tonywade: I see "AssaultCube" in the repos but no "AssultCube", is that perhaps what you're looking for? [21:02] Praet0rian: its no longer supported [21:02] yes thats it [21:02] or is there a newbie dictionary for that error [21:02] yea iceroot that stinks but I still use it [21:02] !bitchx | Praet0rian [21:02] Praet0rian: bitchx (also known as ircii-pana) was dropped from Debian and subsequently Ubuntu (see: http://dy.fi/afb). Consider using irssi or weechat instead. === faz|meeting is now known as faz [21:03] i.e., we don't support it here :P [21:03] D_Russ: does other usb hardware is also not available during that time of 3-5 minutes? [21:03] ubottu, yea, I noticed that a long time ago, just wanted to know if anyone uses it [21:03] Praet0rian: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:03] i have not tested anything else [21:03] Where would I ask for help with LAMP? [21:03] BAH! [21:03] only other item is the printer [21:03] lol [21:03] ih20i: here or #ubuntu-server [21:03] ih20i: depending on the question [21:03] ih20i: Here for Ubuntu, or #httpd, #php, #mysql for each part. [21:04] Praet0rian: keep to support in this channel if you are in the mood for chatting you are welcome to join #ubuntu-offtopic [21:04] how do u download the new edition of assaultcube? [21:04] iceroot: only thing else is the printer. it works but i have not tested during the period that my KB and mouse dont work [21:04] tonywade: sudo apt-get install assaultcube [21:04] D_Russ: how often does it happen? [21:04] I installed Apache2 before someone pointed me at lamp. Then I grabbed that. localhost works but myphpadmin doesn't. [21:05] thanks for the tip IdleOne [21:05] Hi guys. My ~/.xsession-errors.old was 1.2 T this morning. Is there any way to turn off the logging to this file? [21:05] iceroot: every restart without fail [21:05] Guides online say to go to a directory that my computer doesn't have. Should I remove all apache and start over? =\ [21:05] ih20i, I have a nice solution for you [21:05] ih20i: phpmyadmin needs to be enabled with "a2enmod [21:05] ih20i: phpmyadmin you mean? Should be accessible through http://localhost/phpmyadmin if it's running [21:05] ? sorry im a newbe to this so if you could say that in simpler english that would be great [21:05] iceroot: it works perfectly after that 3-5 minutes have passes [21:05] well almost perfectly [21:05] D_Russ: so its only at the start? [21:05] ih20i: /var/www/phpmyadmin doesn't exist, but it should be there if you go through a browser [21:05] iceroot, whay would you need that mod [21:05] Ahhh [21:06] iceroot: yes [21:06] tonywade: Run the command: sudo apt-get install assaultcube in a terminal, type in your password and hit y when it prompts you for y/n [21:06] only on reboot [21:06] I do not believe thats neccessary when you use tasksel install lamp-server [21:06] That should get me there thanks. === fishwithapipe is now known as f|shy [21:06] ih20i, just use tasksel [21:06] wills et everything up fo ryou [21:06] Praet0rian: ih20i its not /var/www/phpmyadmin its handled with an apache alias which is controled with a2enmode (also see /etc/apache2/sites-available/) [21:06] Praet0rian: wrong nick [21:06] I'm planning to conduct a Ubuntu Party in my University [21:06] Polah: see above [21:06] can someone tell me how can i get swags for it? [21:06] iceroot: I've done apt-get install phpmyadmin and had it run without needing to then enable it with apache [21:07] iceroot, I know, all you ahve to do is edit hosts file and create a virtual host [21:07] Polah: hm on debian it needs to be enabled, maybe ubuntu is generating that symlink automaticly [21:07] no need for any mod [21:07] hey guys, i have the visual boy advanced emulator of the software centre, my rom runs with a frame rate thats to high and sound is speeded up [21:07] iceroot: It was Ubuntu 10.04 the last time I set it up and phpmyadmin ran after just installing through apt [21:07] I have this config running as we speak [21:07] Polah: but its not in /var/www its a apache-alias [21:08] ? [21:08] /var/www is default virtual host btw [21:08] iceroot: I know there isn't any /var/www/phpmyadmin directory, I said it doesn't exist. But phpmyadmin is accessible through address/phpmyadmin [21:08] Praet0rian: again, you are missing the topic [21:08] yea sorry [21:08] used to chatting [21:08] lol [21:08] iceroot: i have a kvm hooked up aswell but i get the same problem on restart even if i plugg the KB & mouse up directly, i even tried a restart with them plugged in directly and no luck [21:08] Polah: correct [21:09] Praet0rian, edit hosts file? Apache sites are handled through the sites directory in /etc/apache2 [21:09] D_Russ: does the mouse get power? or the keyboard? are the leds on? [21:09] Polah, I was referring to creating you OWN host instead of using localhost [21:09] much easier [21:09] Praet0rian: virtualhost has nothing to do with localhost [21:10] Pret0rian: Using another domaine name instead of "localhost"? [21:10] I know iceroot [21:10] localhost is defined in hosts file definig your machine [21:10] along with your host [21:10] eg mine is singularity [21:10] I got a laptop with Nvidia optimus [21:10] iceroot: the mouse is wireless so yes the light is on but the keyboard is usb powered and no the numlock light does not come on nor does the caps lock light furing that period [21:11] D_Russ: sounds like a hardware-issue for me [21:11] Polah yes [21:11] anohter domain name [21:11] ANY one you want [21:11] anyone know the official chanel for OpenOffice? [21:11] set it in hosts file in /etc than specify whatever domain you want [21:11] D_Russ: sounds like the usb ports are disabled and get no power [21:11] is there any news about nvidia optimus? So are nvidia and Ubuntu implementing nvidia optimus gfx cards? [21:11] Webonaute: #openoffice.org [21:11] !alis | Webonaute [21:11] Webonaute: 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* [21:11] then create a Virtual host for that namebased VH [21:12] ty [21:12] that was to you polah [21:12] I will be more than happy to walk you through in prvt [21:12] iceroot: as in KB & mouse? or as in motherboard? only thing is that ubuntu is on a partition, and when i run windows on the other partition i have no issues. so there must be a setting in ubuntu thats not sending the dignal fast enough [21:12] hello [21:13] D_Russ: ah ok interesting point with windows [21:13] Praet0rian: Sure, but that would only apply on the local computer would it not, thus just using http://localhost is fairly simple, without needing to set up another name. Other systems would still need to use the IP or a domain name provided by an actual DNS server. [21:13] can anyone help me format a usb pen drive to fat 32 i only seem to have the optoin for fat and ext..... [21:13] want to creat a bootable usb and says i need fat32 [21:13] I have two monitors that work fine, but they are on the same workspace. I want to be able to switch to any workspace on any screen. Using Gnome 2.32.1, have an nvidia card with the nouveau driver [21:13] yes Polah, but what happens sometimes is that services screw up with locahost, and yes for local development only [21:13] and i use anyother? [21:13] Polah and also yes you will need DNS for a public domain [21:14] but still use Namebased virtual hsoting [21:14] D_Russ: i cant find any usefull results in google for error -100, only for error -71 [21:14] Praet0rian: Never heard of services not being able to handle localhost, but for a private development server I don't see why you'd go through the effort of setting up a domain name rather than just typing localhost which is already there, or 127.0.0.1 which is fairly easy to remember [21:14] alphanobdy: What are you trying to boot from USB that requires FAT32? [21:15] because polah, with localhost you are restricted to ONE directory of development [21:15] polah say I want multiple versions of app testing [21:15] polah, nice to have multitple points of testing [21:15] iceroot: thanks for looking i appreciate the help [21:15] imho [21:15] Polah: there is an application which handles 127.0.0.1 different then localhost (doesnt matter if there is 127.0.0.1 localhost in /etc/hosts) the application is mysql but for apache there is no difference [21:15] Polah: BT5 but i read most any os will need to be on a fat32drive [21:15] Praet0rian: Oh, I see what you're saying now. Yes, I guess it would make sense to have multiple names pointing to multiple local sites. [21:15] and alo if you are running an internal devel server, other users will need their own web directory [21:16] polah i cant get it to work [21:16] hence multiple personalized domains for internal devel Poloah [21:16] Polah ** [21:16] D_Russ: sorry that i cant help more [21:17] Polah, that is the real power of Vhosting ;-) [21:17] Proof of concept Polah is when running localhost, try to run Nessus, never work because you ahve to generate SSL cert [21:17] hey [21:18] what's up with the ocelot wallpapers? [21:18] polah: i acnt get it to work [21:18] iceroot: no problem thanks for attempting. if i lick this problem i will be sure to post it in the forums. Funnything is that it worked good when i first installed natty with wubi, then it started acting up in wubi, so i did a partition install and same problem. [21:18] alphanobdy: I assume you mean BackTrack 5? That's unsupported here, you could use any filesystem really. I believe FAT is recommended because it's non-journaling (I could be wrong) and widely supported by multiple OSes (Windows only supports NTFS and FAT natively, so anything like extX wouldn't be readable by default for example) [21:18] tonywade: What do you mean you can't get it to work? [21:19] ty Polah [21:19] D_Russ: sounds good with the forum [21:19] D_Russ: and the current system is a real installation on hardware? [21:19] hey guys, i have the visual boy advanced emulator of the software centre, my rom runs with a frame rate thats to high and sound is speeded up [21:19] yes [21:19] partition install [21:19] i ran the command but it anly shows up a load of gibberish [21:20] hello [21:20] iceroot: yes its currently a full install on a 100gb partition [21:20] Hi NeedSomeHelp [21:20] sogeking99: this isn't really a place for help with that [21:20] sogeking99: maybe check the forums or discussion page for that app [21:20] tonywade: That's apt reading packages and such like. The last line should be a prompt asking for confirmation to install as "y/n", enter y and it'll install [21:20] test [21:21] I have installed Wine and a windows-program in ubuntu, and it works fine. But how can I run two instances of that windows-program? If I try to open a new instance of the win-app with wine, it just takes me to instance 1. [21:21] NeedSomeHelp, multiple installes of Wine [21:21] triunenature, 95/100, A* [21:21] D_Russ: ok [21:21] Praet0rian: how do i install another copy of Wine with synaptic ? [21:22] NeedSomeHelp: depending on the windows-program if it allows two instances [21:22] NeedSomeHelp, you dont use synaptic, you use source [21:22] Hey, when i plug in a ethernet cord into my laptop ( RJ-45 Cat53) My Nic doesn't light up at all. I know the cord works, because it works with my other computers, and I know my network is up, because... well im talking in IRC... [21:22] cat5e* [21:22] triunenature, no drivers [21:22] maybe lighs just burn out [21:22] no drivers would mean it wouldnt work [21:22] iceroot: I think the win-program doesnt allow more than one instance (like many windows programs), but I want to bypass that somehow. [21:23] Gentoo64, yea I caught that [21:23] did think he was using it [21:23] Praet0rian: please explain in more details :) [21:23] didnt* [21:23] NeedSomeHelp: wine is not the problem, it can start more then one copy [21:23] NeedSomeHelp, you cant install wine twice [21:23] Might i ask the obvious, how does one install drivers on ubuntu? Second, i doubt its just the lights because nothing works when i plug it in. wifi works great though [21:23] hi, excuse me, when will the Beta 2 of 11.10 be released? [21:23] and that would be a stupid workaround [21:23] today? [21:23] NeedSomeHelp, iceroot is correct, but I thought you wanted to run simultanious wine [21:24] Gentoo64, of course you can [21:24] want to see me do it in a video [21:24] in different dirs === incubus is now known as Guest9368 [21:24] I want to run simultanious two instances of the same windows-program that i'm running through wine [21:24] NeedSomeHelp, then click on the app twice [21:24] Praet0rian, your not even reading peoples questions, but answering lol [21:24] Of course I am Gentoo64 [21:25] ... [21:25] rodriesp, #ubuntu+1 is for future releases [21:25] Gentoo64, lets just be friends [21:25] ;-) [21:25] hey i want to use netflix in ubuntu and tells me that doe snot work [21:25] Praet0rian: I did, but the second time I try to open it (to open a second instance), it just takes me to the first instance [21:25] trying to troll or something? [21:25] oh, thanks triunenature, going there [21:26] NeedSomeHelp, and easy way to run apps wine twice would be to type wine (app) from the command line [21:26] this shoudl create a seperate process [21:26] Praet0rian: tried, no luck [21:27] NeedSomeHelp, what app is it anyway? [21:27] NeedSomeHelp, just open terminal and goto your windows wine folder, find the notepad exe and type wine notepad [21:27] NeedSomeHelp: maybe ask in #winehq [21:27] if you want to run notepad that it [21:27] is* [21:27] NeedSomeHelp, I do not think that you are correctly doing this lol [21:28] anyone know what ports need to be open for video / sound to work with jabber in empathy? [21:29] dashavoo, http://linuxcrunch.com/content/how-use-empathy-messenger [21:29] contains ports [21:29] My system menu is gone, how do I get it back? [21:29] The launcher is there, but it's not as helpful I think. [21:30] ssma: Never tried but I heard that too on klaatu's podcast. [21:30] LmAt, what WM you using [21:30] Unity, Gnome straight? [21:30] hi there [21:30] Praet0rian, How do I find out? [21:30] I need some opinions about 11.4 [21:31] LmAt, well what verions of ubuntu [21:31] LmAt, did it have the bar on the side? [21:31] Praet0rian: I can't see the bit about ports on there, any hints about where in the page? [21:31] Gentoo64, Yes, I have the bar on the side. [21:31] unity then [21:31] Gentoo64, I did something to make the bar show up, and I want it to go away. [21:31] LmAt, at login choose classic [21:31] from a dropdown box [21:31] Gentoo64, Thanks. [21:32] Gentoo64, There is no such list. [21:32] Gentoo64, oh [21:32] Gentoo64, I think I see it at the bottom. [21:32] dashavoo, are you trying to configure router or firewall [21:32] Gentoo64, Jackpot! You can not know how excited I am! [21:33] cool [21:33] Gentoo64, was he using unity [21:33] yes [21:33] ahh [21:33] just curious [21:34] why the hell are they even continuing development of unity if everyone hates it [21:34] Praet0rian: router [21:34] Gentoo64, I like unity [21:34] well, router's firewall [21:34] lol [21:34] Gentoo64: use something else [21:34] i dont use unity [21:34] just saying [21:34] dashavoo, have you tried DMZ on your router to see if you got things setup corretly to run? [21:34] hey guys, what's the correct way to request a version bump to a package? [21:34] the majority of people just want it gone [21:34] Gentoo64, I like the quick search [21:34] Gentoo64: Because not everyone hates it. Use whatever DE you want, you're not forced to use it. [21:35] Praet0rian: I was just thinking about doing that, I'll come back if I still need help ;), thanks [21:35] np [21:36] crap I should have told him about TCP view to see outgoing ports [21:36] Praet0rian: tell me now [21:36] I forgot is wireshark shows ports or not [21:36] hang on lemme check something [21:37] I'm having trouble scp'ing some files, I keep getting "scp: ambiguous target" even though I know the path is right. here's the command: scp -r /home/anthony/Music/Al\ Green tony@server.com:/My\ Music/ . I know the directory /My\ Music/ is there (although it's a symlink) and the command works as scp -r /home/anthony/Music/Al\ Green tony@server.com: [21:37] YES dashavoo [21:37] get wireshark and run your stuff, it will tell you waht ports are attempting ot be used [21:37] Praet0rian: good idea, thanks [21:37] np [21:38] anth0ny: try rsync [21:38] remember to run as sudo [21:38] Praet0rian: I know ;) [21:38] ;-) [21:38] should be run as its own user tbh [21:38] Gentoo64, is right but for quick stuff...well up to you [21:39] yeah, I can never be bothered [21:39] dashavoo, give me root, lets test that theory [21:39] heheh [21:39] yeats: yeah? i mean, this is well within the purpose of scp, why use rsync? [21:39] Praet0rian: haha, nah. Don't think I will ;) [21:39] * Praet0rian used rsync quite a bit [21:40] little not about rsync, IT DOES NOT maintain permissions [21:40] anth0ny: have you tried putting quotes around the directory path. the spaces in the path you quoted above may be the cause of the problem [21:41] anth0ny: propman is right - the spaces in the dir names are probably the issue - rsync is my preferred way of doing what you're doing, but that's up to you [21:41] propman: Bingo! that did it, thanks! [21:41] yeats: I'll take a look at rsync, not familiar with it [21:42] lol the backslashes always get people [21:42] Does the deja dup schedule require that I keep deja-dup running? [21:42] anth0ny: good to hear :) [21:42] anth0ny: basic usage: 'rsync -av /sourcepath /destinationpath' [21:43] Can somebody please answer this question: Can a package from ubuntu 11.10 be downloaded and run in ubuntu 10.04? [21:43] maujhsn: sometimes, but you should never do so. Why do you want to know? [21:43] maujhsn, I dont see why not [21:43] maujhsn: it might work, it might not [21:43] Praet0rian, there's a flag to keep permissions. [21:43] Polah, SH** lol [21:43] didnt know that [21:44] Praet0rian: --perms or -p I believe (: [21:44] was syncing a solaris box [21:44] jrib i was given bad advice! [21:44] omg thats awesome [21:44] maujhsn: ? [21:44] Praet0rian, also flags to keep owner and group [21:44] cool Polah [21:44] Polah, yea that would be correct cept sync with Solaris, not same users or perms [21:46] I need to enable multiverse -- I know how to do it manually (editing /etc/apt/sources.list) but I'm wondering if there's a way I can automate it through a script [21:47] kylefox, sure [21:47] kylefox, easy shell script to echo your text to the sources list [21:47] Can somebody please answer this question: Can a package from ubuntu 11.10 be downloaded and run in ubuntu 10.04? If the repository is added to the sources list? [21:48] maujhsn, they already answered that [21:48] Praet0rian: oh ... I never thought of that [21:48] ;-) [21:48] OK [21:48] just `echo >> file` [21:48] kylefox, it depends what shell you're using [21:49] bash? [21:49] cash. zsh? [21:49] csh* [21:49] how can I minimize the Empathy to the indicator applet or anywhere in the panels? [21:50] click X Element9 [21:50] will not close it [21:52] Praet0rian: oh, it closed it :) [21:52] kylefox, to send text to a file simply do this: echo '' >> [21:52] Element9, sorry thought you were using Unity [21:52] Unity will minimize [21:53] hi [21:53] click on X on Contact List window of the Empathy will minimize it to indicator applet but not on window with chat rooms [21:53] Any way to do it on 10.10? [21:53] can any body help me with voice problem in ubuntu? [21:54] Element9, sry not sure on that one [21:54] wm4eo, just ask your question [21:54] Praet0rian: ok, no problem. thanks [21:54] the microphone is not working [21:54] np [21:54] helllo anyone knows whats the brazilian ubuntu chan? [21:55] not in skype not in yahoo not in any ware [21:55] wm4eo, open your sound settings and see what your input device is [21:55] So i asked eariler, but if my NIC driver isn't working, how can i install/reinstall my NIC driver? [21:56] infact i am from windows now but i did and its not changing [21:56] triunenature, how do you know your driver isnt working [21:56] I don't for sure. What I do know it, that the lights on my NIC don't light up when i plug in my cable, and i know my cable is good [21:57] RJ-45 Cat5e [21:57] i've put external microphone and no one worked [21:57] triunenature: the lights would come on even without a driver, or OS [21:57] triunenature: if the lights are not coming on it's either a.) hardware issue b.) hardware issue at the other end c.) cable [21:57] !br | RnaGwaha [21:57] RnaGwaha: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para entrar no canal por favor faça "/join #ubuntu-br" sem as aspas. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [21:58] wm4eo, try other things [21:58] like what? [21:58] well, since when i plug the same cable into other computers, it lights up, I can assume both b and c are void [21:58] That leaves me with hardware issue... [21:58] wm4eo, there are no other options in the dropdown? [21:59] to tell you the truth I still dont have a working MIC on my old Toshiba, but My alienware M17x works fine [22:00] i tryed every one nothing changed i even format my labtop and reinstel it and its not working [22:00] wm4eo, have you tried the MIC port [22:00] yep [22:00] What channel would be appropriate for issues seen when testing out Oneric on MacTel hw ? (liveCD hangs) [22:00] ikonia, any idea on how to confirm hardware issues? [22:00] wm4eo, you have no internal MIC? [22:00] Hobart: #ubuntu+1 [22:00] rww -> thx [22:00] what's wrong with this upstart script pair? http://pastebin.com/eJDHK1a1 [22:00] i have one and i use it every day in my windows 7 [22:00] memcached script won't autostart [22:01] triunenature: well, is ubuntu the only OS on this machine ? [22:01] hello [22:01] Yeppers [22:01] triunenature: does lights light up on the other end (switch ?) [22:01] wm4eo, heres the thing, if you only have the INTErNAL selection in your sound settings, it would assume you are using that and not external [22:01] triunenature: do you have any other machines around ? [22:02] I have about 30 machines around, im in an office ;) [22:02] can you listen to audio via headphones wm4eo [22:02] hello [22:02] triunenature: grab one and patch into that same port with that same cable, do the lights come on ? [22:02] ohi [22:02] triunenature: is that a big deal to test ? [22:02] no i cant listen from the headphones [22:02] However I don't know where the telecom closet is, and i wouldn't have access to the switch. [22:02] wm4eo, then the sound card is not working properly [22:02] Yes, when i plug the same cable into any of the other computers, the lights come up [22:03] triunenature: hardware problem [22:03] /goto home [22:03] triunenature: lights = dumb, just a cable terminated at both ends, no OS, no anything, [22:03] but the sound out from the laptob speakers and i can hear it its just from the headphone i cant [22:03] triunenature: if other computers are working, and this one computer isn't even getting any lights, I'd put a lot of money on a hardware issue [22:03] but any way how can i instel it? [22:04] wm4eo, the sound card handles your external ports also [22:04] what's wrong with this upstart script pair? http://pastebin.com/eJDHK1a1 the memcached one doesn't start after the ufw one [22:04] how can i find a driver for it? [22:04] wm4eo, get your sound card model and check manufactuer or search google for same issue [22:04] ikonia: really... see i suspected the same, i just don't want my poor computer to be dying..... Is there any software test to confirm what we both know/suspect? [22:04] wm4eo, have to know your hardware if you're using linux just a tip [22:04] triunenature: you've pretty much just confirmed it [22:05] :( [22:05] do u have any spicific website for that? [22:05] can someone please offer me some advice? i bought a new wireless router to upgrade from G to N but my ubuntu computer wireless only went from 54 MB/s to 65 MB/s ... not the performance increase i was expecting .... i've googled this problem and am exhausted ... what settings/software updates can i try to improve my MB/s rating? [22:05] wm4eo, I do not know your manufacturer I cannot in any way know a web site for you [22:06] ikonia: I'd perfer a program that outputs, "Yep your Network Interface Card is broken" [22:06] search your laptop model [22:06] this iwll give you harware spec [22:06] triunenature: that's not going to happen [22:06] its realtak one second and i'll give u the model [22:06] sysRPL, is your card an N card? [22:06] or still G [22:06] ikonia: Yea life never has been that simple. Ironically enough, wifi still works without a hitch on the machine [22:07] wm4eo, I am not going to do your research for you LoL, I am simply pointing you in the right direction [22:07] Any one here has experience with SATA? http://pastebin.com/LGASzQbv My Ubuntu (10.04LTS) seems to force the SSD down into SATA1 1.5Gbps mode. [22:07] Praet0rian: Atheros AR9285 802.11b/g/n [22:07] yacc, sry have solid state here [22:08] sysRPL, does your router have the 100MBs burts setting? [22:08] I mean 108MB [22:08] sorry bro i thought u know a good web to get a drivers for linux will thank u and i have another problem if u r ok with it [22:08] Praet0rian: it's a linksys E2000 [22:08] Praet0rian: i'm not sure, let me see [22:08] sysRPL, look at doc [22:08] i get the kget and its working with firefox [22:08] or simply login and look [22:09] Look at windows 8 blocking dual boot concern http://www.zdnet.com/blog/microsoft/will-windows-8-block-users-from-dual-booting-linux-microsoft-wont-say/10772?tag=nl.e550 [22:09] Praet0rian: it has a frame burst radio button with enabled/disabled ... the value is set to enabled [22:09] sysRPL, I have a testing solution for you [22:09] cntb: why is that anything to do with this channel ? [22:09] sysRPL, I can't believe I am going to suggest this but create a Virtual Machine with Windows XP [22:10] yacc: Are you sure your SSD is connected to a SATAII/I connector? [22:10] cntb: Just as a word of advice, linux guys will always outsmart windows guys. So fear not [22:10] ikonia majority are dual booting [22:10] man did u get my question? [22:10] sysRPL, test there [22:10] Praet0rian: ty ... btw i am on a windows computer right now [22:10] does anyone know a good grammar checker besides openoffice for linux? [22:10] wm4eo, sorry didnt get it [22:10] cntb: is anyone in this channel asking for help dual booting windows 8 with Linux ? [22:10] triunenature right [22:10] sysRPL, XP? [22:10] Praet0rian: yes [22:10] ikonia ok [22:10] i have the kget and its not working with firefox [22:10] cntb: thank you [22:11] wm4eo, I do not use kget [22:11] are you asking me to apologize? I do [22:11] what is the best downloader ? [22:11] sysRPL, do you have an alternate card? [22:11] wm4eo, firefox has its own download manager [22:11] cntb: no, I said thank you as in "thank you for understanding" [22:11] works fine [22:11] Still it sounds a bit of concern and people should know to stick to dual boot with older versions that;s all [22:12] sysRPL, wait a min, your on windows and asking in a Linux forum? LoL [22:12] i know but i need one like internet download maneger in windows do u have one like that? [22:12] Praet0rian: the ubuntu is a close nettop box i use for my entertainment center pc ... i have alternbate wireless USB sticks ... but they are all wireless G [22:12] dual boot windows 8 will NOT work, already tested [22:12] i hope you accept my concern and will to share here [22:12] Polah, yeah, the connector was used before with the hdd that moved down the food chain to SATA connector num.2 on the MB, and then it did easily enough 3.0Gbps. The motherboard does 3.0Gbps with other 3 hdd connected to it just now. And the SSD is a SATA3 capable one, and the instruction leaflet does not mention any jumpers or so. [22:12] cntb: 1.) it's not confirmed - so you're spreading rumour 2.) it's not released so no-one is using it at this time and things can change before release 3.) this channel is not about discusing future possabilities with windows, it's for current ubuntu support [22:12] sysRPL, install virtual ubuntu into VMware [22:12] Praet0rian: i am on my windows computer because it's hard to read/type on the entertainment center computer (ubuntu) [22:13] ikonia Praet0rian says tested [22:13] sysRPL, thats what SSH is for and text based IRC clients LoL [22:13] cntb: that doesn't make it fact, please stop discussing it [22:13] it is a fact [22:13] want a video [22:13] lol [22:13] Praet0rian: no - it's not [22:13] Praet0rian: i can putty into the computer [22:13] Praet0rian: no, I don't want a video [22:13] how much you wanna bet [22:13] ok ikonia and why not prevent getting into trouble with our ubuntu install in the future? [22:13] can someone please tell me how to find the chat rooms [22:13] sysRPL: PuTTY is SSH [22:13] Praet0rian: do you own Microsoft Windows 8 final retail release ? [22:14] never mind [22:14] Polah: i know [22:14] what is the best download maneger in ubuntu 11.04? [22:14] yacc: If you're sure it's on a SATAII(I) connector, then it could be a firmware issue with the drive [22:14] ikonia, I have the next build after devel provided by my MS partners [22:14] wm4eo: Most browsers have their own download manager. You can use wget from the command line to download files. [22:14] !best | wm4eo [22:14] wm4eo: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task.

[22:14] Praet0rian: do you own Microsoft Windows 8 final retail release ? [22:14] ikonia, please listen [22:14] one more word and you will consider me a tr -oll and I dont wnat that .Have a nice day all [22:14] I am trying to help [22:15] ikonia: windows 8 is not final, but you already knew that [22:15] ikonia, I have the next to last build, the final build WILL NOT CHANGE the boot process [22:15] case closed [22:15] k thank u guys [22:15] Praet0rian: no - you do not have the facts of the final retail release, microsoft have not confirmed them, so please stop spreading information that is not confiemd [22:15] ikonia, I do have the facts [22:15] sysRPL: exactly the point. [22:15] ould you also like to speak to a MS developer [22:15] I can arrange [22:16] not to get side tracked, but windows 8 looks to be full of fail ... and that is coming from a windows developer [22:16] MS Dev rocks [22:16] Praet0rian: you do not have Microsoft Windows 8 final release, and Microsoft have not confirmed this limitation, so it's not fact, it's your view of a current development build that may/may not be fact. === Mo is now known as Guest79074 [22:16] ikonia, I will say this one more time, the final release of windows 8 will NOT in any way change its booting process [22:16] we can see when its released [22:16] anyhow ... can anyone help me improve my wirless N receive rate? [22:16] Praet0rian: do you work for Microsoft ? [22:16] good enough [22:16] ? [22:17] ikonia, yes [22:17] I do [22:17] do you [22:17] Praet0rian: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:17] Praet0rian: it may well be the case when it's release, but until that time, it is not fact and it is not helpful to misslead people [22:17] Praet0rian: you don't work for microsoft, you just said you got it for a partner, please don't lie [22:17] ikonia, I am giving you the best information based on the facts at hand [22:17] Praet0rian: the best information based on the current development build your using, that is not the final build, [22:17] and as I said partner I meant my testers [22:17] you're [22:18] Praet0rian: yeah yeah. [22:18] ikonia, ok lets do this [22:18] Praet0rian: I don't want/need to do anything. [22:18] lets wait and see then we can discuss ok? [22:18] Praet0rian: I don't want/need to discuss it [22:18] apparently you do [22:18] otherwise you ould have stopped tqalking [22:18] ;-) [22:18] you may be right, but at this time of writing, it is not fact, so please don't give out information. [22:18] oh, pick me, me, I wan't to discuss it too!! [22:18] Praet0rian, weren't ms employees forbidden to use the name "windows 8", apart from balmer, who screwed up during some talk? [22:18] fair enough [22:19] bl4ckcomb, I am not aware of any such rule, but thats not to say it doesnt exist [22:19] I use linux I hate windows [22:19] I know, don't point out the obvious [22:19] bl4ckcomb, no need to be rude [22:19] just answering [22:20] :p [22:20] Polah, so you are surely happy to know that I upgrade to the newest OCZ firmware just today?

See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents [22:20] yacc: Well, that could be the issue then. Has the drive not functioned properly since the upgrade? [22:20] Polah, as you can see from paste, I've also tried to force it to 3.0Gbps, but it downgraded the connection itself. [22:21] IdleOne, I'm discussing Praet0rian [22:21] c++ developer and winAPI QA bl4 [22:21] Praet0rian, c++ dev for the WinAPI ? [22:21] no bl4ckcomb [22:21] what part then or just general ? [22:22] WinAPI QA [22:22] bl4ckcomb: this is an Ubuntu support channel. Please stick to the topic. [22:22] Polah, no it did the same thing before (although I haven't tried to force it on boot into 3.0Gbps, but it defaulted to 1.5Gbps while all other drives use 3.0Gbps), as OCZ has claimed the SMART warnings that one had to ignore are gone.

[22:34] yes, exactly [22:35] the single quotes = same issue [22:35] I get kernel crashes in ubuntu with autofs. Is this the right forum to report them?

[22:36] kylefox, also just a tip if you don't want to use "sh" to execute, put !#/bin/bash in the file [22:37] kylefox, also would be wise to set that string as a variable then echo it to stdout to see if its correct [22:37] Praet0rian: Needs to be marked as executable as well. sh script.sh will run it even if it's not executable, script.sh on it's own requires it to be set to executable [22:37] kylefox, Polah is correct too, I assumed you set +x [22:38] Praet0rian, kylefox: I'd recommend using sh script.sh anyway because then it's run by by sh and doesn't require it to be set as executable beforehand [22:39] Yes, I did chmod +x [22:39] luck?

I'll try === steve-vibes is now known as steve_vibes [22:42] yes, it works [22:42] also [22:42] if I run `sudo su` and then run my echo command, it works [22:42] kylefox, for which one, home or sources? [22:43] sources [22:43] (not running as a script though) [22:43] kylefox, ok so it works then [22:43] OH [22:43] oh you did from term [22:43] instead of script [22:43] ie: this works: http://dpaste.com/619250/ === kms is now known as zen_lunatic3 [22:43] yep, running as terminal commands [22:44] kylefox, ok so we know the script is sound [22:44] however, the first example (http://dpaste.com/619247/) works neither from the terminal, nor from within the script [22:44] kylefox, what error do you get when you ran that first one [22:44] permission denied? [22:44] -bash: /etc/apt/sources.list: Permission denied [22:45] i actually have to run -- gotta get to class [22:45] kylefox: you are trying to run it as a normal user? [22:45] thanks for your help! [22:45] Is 2 gig of memory insufficent for suspend function of Unity and Compiz? Do I need more memory or perhaps a better graphics card? GForce GO 7300 [22:45] (yes) === erkan^ is now known as zippo^ [22:45] kylefox, you cannt run it as norm [22:45] kylefox: sudo will ask for a password [22:45] SIFTU, he's already done that [22:45] SIFTU, we are way ahead of that [22:45] lol [22:45] i'm using a ubuntu EC2 ami, which doesn't appear to ask for passwords when doing sudo operations [22:45] Praet0rian: I came in late.. done what [22:46] * kylefox is away [22:46] kylefox, then thats why you cant run it [22:46] it needs to be setuid 0 [22:46] howdy folks - is there any other alternatives to krecipe and grecipe for recipe software out there? [22:46] Hiya awesome fun peeps. I need some basic Kubuntu help. I installed Kubuntu, but Windows still boots, with no boot options for Kubuntu or anything. How do I get Kubuntu to boot on startup? [22:46] kylefox, ec2 is setup to not require a password for sudo [22:46] kylefox, you of course cannot write to protected files without root privs [22:49] Is there a grub gui of some sorts? ran into confirmed bug on startupmanager on 11.04 [22:49] In comparison, would unity be better in performance compared to ubuntu classic? [22:50] Hey, how do I get Kubuntu as a boot option on startup? [22:50] Ibis it ran slower on my machine [22:50] Using intel HD graphics, my external display is very shaky at all resolutions. Are there any known fixes? [22:51] Ibis Unity that is [22:51] MTPrower: If I recall correctly, when I did it, the option appears at the bottom of the login screen (at least on maverick) [22:51] brightspark: what login screen? [22:52] Unity seems to be behaving rather well for me. [22:52] Ibis yes, my machine was not top of the line and Unity ran a bit slower [22:52] I'm only sad that I do not see unity icons on the left-side tray. [22:52] the gnome session manager login screen. I installed a kubuntu desktop as an alternative to my gnome one. [22:53] MTPrower: see my last [22:53] My machine is super old. I'm talking about 8+ years. [22:53] brightspark that wouldn't be a boot option [22:53] Ibis yes, mine too [22:53] brightspark: I think you misunderstood my question. When I start my computer, Windows automatically boots, with no option to boot Kubuntu [22:53] Ibis but mine was a netbook [22:54] nocilis: yes, because the same kernel runs independent of the desktop choice [22:54] MTPrower: I did misunderstand your question, sorry. [22:54] Can I flag a NTFS drive to NOT chkdsk (even if problems) when booting up through windows? [22:55] brightspark all desktops run on X, right? [22:55] How can I have 64 bits flash support on google chrome on ubuntu 11.04, right now whenever I try to watch an hd movie in fullscreen from youtube it just jumps and skips throughout the playback [22:55] Bash: no and why you wanna do that ? also ask in ##windows [22:55] hey my playonlinux cant detect internet connection [22:56] do i need to edit resolv.conf? [22:57] Hello. My ATI card is not supported. I have found this (http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/xorg-edgers?dist=natty#) but I'm not surewhich packages I need to install. [22:57] hi I have a eeepc where I have the latest xubuntu installed. the eeepc has a sdmmc slot where I want to mount a sdcard I followed these instructions here http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=44013 and rebooted to make things take their effect. during booting xubuntu offered me to "skip" the mounting proceedure. my question is how can I make it mount automatically my card [22:57] Meluha, are you trying to run windows apps === jason is now known as Guest72731 [22:57] Praet0rian: yes [22:57] Meluha, I would suggest VMware [22:57] GreekFreak: read https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa [22:58] nocilis: I'm not sure, but my guess is that those that don't are refew and far between [22:59] Praet0rian: i do have VM but i need office to be installed..its quicker than creating a shared folder and booting xp all the while [22:59] Meluha, you dont need a shared folder [22:59] Meluha, you install the entier windows OS [23:00] rww, thank you but I have no idea what to do with that. Am I supposed to install them one by one? Are they included? [23:00] GreekFreak: If you read the whole page, it tells you. [23:00] Meluha, then with vmware tools you simply drag it to the VM [23:00] rww, thank you [23:00] GreekFreak: if you read the whole page and don't understand the instructions it gives, it's probably too unstable for you to be using it :\ [23:00] xorg-edgers is a bit... crack. [23:01] Praet0rian:can u drag and drop ? [23:01] Meluha, absolutely, when installing windows to VMWare it will install VMWare tools enabling you to drag and drop from your linux host [23:02] Can someone tell me what seems to be the problem here? I have 3 disks as you can see and it's a bit messy, but trying to boot from sdc while having windows on sda, also have xforcevesa but all I get when booting is a blank screen with a blinking cursor. [23:02] http://paste.ubuntu.com/695359/ [23:03] Praet0rian: hey thats cool. thanks a lot. but that again brings me back to the original question of using POL. i do wish to in future install various apps. how am i supposed to do it if POL doesnt have a list of softwares due to it not being able to get connected to the net? [23:03] rww, I'm assuming that this is covered by including the repository. The sute I pasted, though, has some packages to install and I'm not sure which are needed [23:04] Meluha, then we simply need to run through standard internet connection tests === zippo^ is now known as erkan^ [23:05] Meluha, first check if you get an IP, if so, check an nslookup to check DNS [23:05] hi [23:05] I have an ATI GTX card [23:05] what's the easiest way to get two monitors working with it [23:05] it's a laptop with an extra display connected to it [23:06] and I would like to output a different worksace to the other display [23:07] Let me rephrase my question: For xorg-edgers and an unsupported ATI card, could someone indicate which packages (other than "ati") I need from http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/xorg-edgers?dist=natty# ? [23:07] Praet0rian: can i run nslookup in terminal? [23:08] Meluha, yes nslookup google.com [23:10] Praet0rian: [23:10] Praet0rian: [23:10] what [23:10] Praet0rian: yup its given me a couple of IP addresses [23:10] then you your internet is working properly [23:10] GreekFreak: if you already read it and don't get it, better don't try it [23:11] i'm looking for an irc bouncer setup that can stream to me text (in either a generic irc client or a specific (gui, preferably) one) missed in certain channels whilst i'm not on at home, wondering if this possible? [23:11] I tried googling but all the guides are for old versions of ubuntu [23:11] Meluha, you cannot have DNS working without IP, DefaultRoute [23:11] so you obviously are good [23:11] xanga: is there somewhere else I could read to learn about it? right now I'm booting linux with "nomodeset" [23:12] simply not doing it doesn't help. I need to learn it [23:12] Praet0rian: sorry? [23:12] ? [23:13] Meluha, hold on [23:13] milk: most people run text based irc clients in screen sessions on 24x7 server and read over the logs [23:13] * Praet0rian loves BitchX [23:14] irssi! [23:14] irssi! [23:14] Meluha: irssi + screen: http://quadpoint.org/articles/irssi [23:14] weechat for me, but all personal preference [23:15] Meluha: sorry - meant for milk ;-) [23:16] Hello there, anyone can help me fix my quake 3 arena sound? i got this msg: /dev/dsp: No such file or directory [23:16] Could not open /dev/dsp [23:16] yeats: ;) [23:17] SIFTU; using screen is my second option, but i thought i'd ask about in case :) [23:17] Meluha, are you saying for example a POL app like firefox cant get online? [23:17] yeats; thanks, shall read up :) [23:17] Meluha, Firefox for windos that is [23:19] Praet0rian: no not really. in POL u need to select the app from the lists, which u wish to install. but those lists are not being downloaded as POL doesnt deetect an internet connection. [23:19] phelippe: lsof |grep snd [23:20] Meluha, its simply a wine frontend [23:20] Meluha, let me check something [23:21] is wine any good [23:21] phelippe: And then kill the pid [23:21] or pids [23:21] can i paste here? [23:21] mrdeb: if it is aged properly [23:21] no [23:21] mrdeb: I personally would rather use virtualbox. [23:21] cool [23:21] phelippe: lsof |grep snd | pastebinit [23:21] I have perfect audio now [23:21] whats the difference [23:21] with my X-fi [23:21] i read wine is very bad [23:21] VMware better than virtual box [23:21] imo [23:22] usr13: here appear skype and npviewer use libsndfile [23:22] mrdeb: Especially if you have a lot of ram. The difference is that you install "Real Windows" inside virtualbox. [23:22] so tis bad [23:22] is htat it [23:22] Praet0rian: What makes it better? I get many reports of people whining about the speed of VMWare. === b0nghittr is now known as b0nghitter [23:23] Praet0rian: http://www.unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/421-install-ms-office2007-on-ubuntu-using-playonlinux [23:23] Ibis, for one I can install MAC on it, 2 vmware tools makes things easier, and yes you need some ram, but nevertheless o run windows you will be using the same ram [23:23] http://paste.ubuntu.com/695375/ [23:23] !appdb [23:23] mrdeb: depends of what program are you trying to run, we are not wizards to know that [23:23] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [23:24] Praet0rian: the site shows that MS office 07 is listed in the Office category.....but for me the category lists are empty [23:25] Meluha, yea I am looking into it compiling irssi real quick [23:25] usr13: http://paste.ubuntu.com/695375/ [23:27] Praet0rian: Is it free like Virtualbox? [23:27] Ibis, well...yea..for me, but no [23:28] Praet0rian: and you know virtualbox has virtualbox additions right.. like vmware tools [23:28] SIFTU, yea I have used VB for a while [23:28] prior to VMware [23:29] SIFTU, try to install MAC on VirtualBOx and see how far you get lol [23:29] Praet0rian: and you know virtualbox can run Mac too, but only on a Mac due to the hardware check they have [23:29] usr13: http://paste.ubuntu.com/695375/ [23:29] Well that defeats the purpose for I run linux [23:30] Hello there, anyone can help me fix my quake 3 arena sound? i got this msg: /dev/dsp: No such file or directory - http://paste.ubuntu.com/695375/ [23:30] Praet0rian: With Mac hardware? O_O === celestius_ is now known as chairmanmeow [23:30] Ibis, no [23:30] Ibis, Intel Arch [23:31] I sometimes wonder if Linux would run better on mac hardware. [23:31] Ibis, blashpemy [23:31] haha [23:31] Or if it's possible. [23:31] Ibis, I would not think so [23:32] Ibis: it does work [23:32] Ibis, I have never tried so I cannot account for that question [23:32] yes, I know a guy that dual-boots linux and osx on a mac [23:32] anyone who has heard of and knows a solution for the kworker bug? http://askubuntu.com/questions/33640/kworker-what-is-it-and-why-is-it-hogging-so-much-cpu [23:32] I would have thought the hardware was too different [23:33] SIFTU: Oh cool. Does it seem to run any better? I heard mac hardwares are better than PC ones. [23:33] praet0rian linux has been ported everwhere [23:33] hey I install ubuntu with windows 7 and it loads ubuntu but does not load windows [23:33] nocilis, thats cool to know, I just would never buy a mac period [23:33] Ibis: it's no better, same parts.. some people like to think it's better build quality etc [23:33] praet0rian me neither, too expensive for what you get [23:33] jorge__ which did you install first? [23:34] can any body tell me what can i do [23:34] And I thought I read something about mac hardware where it actually uses all harddrive/ram space. [23:34] jorge__, you can boot windows from Grub [23:34] anyone who has heard of and knows a solution for the kworker bug? http://askubuntu.com/questions/33640/kworker-what-is-it-and-why-is-it-hogging-so-much-cpu [23:34] i do it but it does the same thing (praet0rian )} [23:34] i tell me and erro message [23:34] jorge__, you must be sure that your windows partition is active and bootable [23:35] jorge__ what sort of message? [23:35] and how do i make sure is active [23:35] jorge__, have you installed linux before? [23:35] erro 0xc0000225 [23:36] my wireless connection keeps asking my password, how do i fix this so it only asks me the first time? [23:36] i mean, when i boot up the cpter i have to insert the passwrd again [23:36] but i stay connected [23:36] jorge__ I just googled that and it looks like a very common problem [23:36] jorge__ probably because bios is out of date? [23:37] guerrilha, that happened to me once, I did never resolve that issue [23:37] try checking for an APIC setting in the bios options jorge__ [23:37] its getting annoying [23:37] jorge__ you have to enable APIC it looks like [23:37] guerrilha: do you autologin? [23:37] guerrilha, I searched for days for a solution to that never did find it [23:38] I just compiled irssi and I cannot find the damn binary for the life of me [23:38] Just wondering, is there a reason why Gnome is no longer the default wm? [23:38] Praet0rian find piped to grep? [23:39] yea I was going to do that but I figured someone would know off hand [23:39] find | grep -e "irssi" [23:39] Bash: GNOME is not a WM. GNOME with modifications is the default desktop environment for Ubuntu, and always has been. The difference you're probably talking about is that it now uses Unity as a shell instead of GNOME Panel or GNOME Shell. [23:39] Bash: unity runs on top of gnome [23:39] no SIFTU , this ubuntu has 3 users [23:39] nocilis, actually find /dir -name file works [23:39] Praet0rian: any leads? [23:39] guerrilha: I suspect something to do with the gnome keyring [23:39] Praet0rian more elegant, I'll remember that thx [23:39] np nocilis [23:39] rww: Right. Just wondered if there's any drawbacks to using gnome3 vs unity as it is the default one [23:40] Bash: GNOME 3 isn't supported on current versions of Ubuntu ( <= 11.04). It should work fine on 11.10 when it comes out. [23:40] Meluha, let me get irssi working here real quik [23:40] rww: Thanks. [23:40] I could just make isntall it but I dont like to put apps in my bin [23:40] rww: it ran fine for me on maverick... [23:40] * nocilis is using irssi to type this :) [23:41] nocilis, eat me lol [23:41] Hey everyone I'm using 'sudo update-rc.d ushare defaults' to make the ushare daemon start everytime I boot my computer, but I need ushare to run with some adicional params, how can I run update-rc.d and pass those params to the rule? [23:41] 11.10 so ugly [23:41] Praet0rian why not just sudo apt-get install irssi? [23:41] irssi rules [23:41] nocilis, repositories are always out of date [23:41] how can I open a port whats the command? [23:41] latest build is src [23:41] MonkeyDust I liked it once I figured out the alt-arrowkey command [23:41] brightspark: Are you conflating GNOME 3 and GNOME Shell? [23:41] nocilis & MonkeyDust: WeeChat is better. ;) [23:41] i found here that i can delete it from my .gnome folder, ill give a shot [23:41] Ibis is it console-based? [23:41] Yes. [23:41] I ran Bitchx forever [23:42] but someone on here convinced me to try irssi [23:42] Lookies: http://www.weechat.org/screenshots/ [23:42] I used to use irssi myself as well. [23:42] Ibis looks a whole lot like irssi, anything to set it apart? [23:42] HA [23:42] there that little bugger is [23:43] http://www.weechat.org/screenshots/weechat_2009-07-06_bonzodog.png [23:43] /home/praetorian/Apps/irssi/src/fe-text/irssi for furure reference [23:43] nocilis: it has multiple languages supported for scripts and has easier config files etc [23:43] How it handles user list, multi network is easier. [23:43] rww: perhaps I am. you are probably correct [23:43] Ibis SIFTU shows people in channel at top, I like [23:44] nocilis: I didn't even know it can do that. It attracted my eyes. [23:44] hahah I love it when apps tell you to RTFM when you first rin em [23:45] RTFM? Praet0rian [23:45] umm [23:45] Read the fuc*** manual [23:45] Read the *Explodes Ubuntu channel* :OOO [23:45] Praet0rian: if everything else fails, then RTFM [23:45] Praet0rian lol hadn't heard that one [23:45] wow [23:45] Or it means: Read the Fine Manual. [23:45] #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat [23:45] I heard that alot hen I first started using linux 10 years ago [23:45] Read the fruitcakin' manual [23:46] also, this isn't i.m. [23:46] Praet0rian: Same here, except I didn't use this 10years ago. (I was tiny o_O) [23:46] be nice ubuntu has nice users [23:46] well Mr Praetorian is going to sign on with irssi WITHOUT READING THE MANUAL [23:46] LOL [23:46] Lets not. [23:46] Lets go back to actual support discussion. [23:47] curious about the nick praet0rian [23:47] nocilis, ask away [23:47] why? [23:47] Ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [23:48] If grub should fail because of wonky ATi gpu support, will it just sit there with a blinking cursor on a blank screen? [23:48] that you Praet0rian? http://twitter.com/#!/praet0rian [23:48] dont use twitter or cia facebook [23:48] haha [23:48] nocilis, he's in #ubuntu-offtopic which is where non-support chatter happens. Asking him about twitter is offtopic for this support channel [23:48] elky ok [23:48] man lol topic nazis [23:49] I am over there nocilis [23:49] Praet0rian, don't even go there. [23:49] I didnt its a figment of your imagination [23:49] he has, twice already [23:49] its all good I go over there [23:50] irssi automatically opens a seperate screen for msgs, does weechat do that Ibis? [23:51] nocilis: Separate screen. Like a tab? [23:51] I guess that's the reason for a faulty grub since all I did was add xforcevesa [23:51] Good evening everyone from Spain ;) [23:51] Ibis, umm yes [23:51] Ibis not sure what the official term is [23:51] A new terminal screen, or same terminal screen? [23:52] nocilis, its called windowing === ross is now known as Guest67593 [23:52] It would appear in the same terminal window, but as a different tab. Separate message screen (BUT in same terminal window). === nedkelly is now known as nedkelly-away [23:53] What I mean by tab is that /window thing. [23:53] Ibis the same terminal screen... it's hard to explain [23:53] Ibis you use ALT+arrowkey to move between them, but each one takes up the whole screen [23:53] nocilis: Yes it does that. [23:54] Hey guys, all my attempts at dual-booting Kubuntu and my existing installation of Windows 7 are failing. Can somebody give me some very basic, step-by-step information? [23:55] MTPrower the Kubuntu installer doesn't walk you through it? Where are you having problems? [23:55] Actually, ideally, I don't even want to use Windows 7. I just want to get Kubuntu working on my hard drive without losing my many gigs of files. I've been reading for the last two days and trying all sorts of stuff [23:56] nocilis: even a successful installation of Kubuntu won't boot for some reason... [23:56] MTPrower: before making any major changes backup your data. [23:56] MTPrower I second what sunice just said [23:56] sunice: not possible for me [23:56] nocilis: I second what I just said [23:56] xD [23:57] MTPrower, define not boot [23:57] nocilis: if I could just back up all my stuff, I could start from scratch and life would be easy. But I can't [23:57] MtProwers: what happens when you try to boot it? do you get grub? [23:57] MTPrower Murphy's Law says you will definitely loose all of your files, it's happened to me [23:57] MTPrower: reinstall grub [23:57] *lose [23:57] smw: I don't have an option to boot Kubuntu at system startup. It just boots Windows [23:57] MTPrower: if you can't backup your data, eventually you're going to lose it in a hardware failure of some kind.... === rww is now known as tardis [23:57] MTPrower, did you install grub to your boot sector? [23:57] gnomie: I don't have Grub and can't figure out how to use it. They don't give you any information on the official Grub website === Ttech is now known as The_Doctor [23:58] MTProwers did you finish the install of kubuntu with grb? [23:58] !grub [23:58] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [23:58] MTPrower, did kubuntu ask if you wanted to install grub? Did you say no? [23:58] smw: no. I couldn't even figure out if I wanted it, due to so little information being given about it [23:58] kbuntu should come with grub right? [23:58] smw: it did not ask [23:58] irssi not bad [23:59] MTProwers. you can install grub only from an ubuntu live cd. [23:59] So what is Grub and why do I want it, and if I get it, will I lose all my stuff on my Windows partition? [23:59] nocilis, yes, but I thought it asks first. I don't use ubiquity. I like the debian installer better :-P. [23:59] sunice: I have Kubuntu on a flash drive [23:59] sunice: it never said anything about Grub [23:59] MTPrower, Grub is the boot loader. It chooses which OS to boot. [23:59] MTProwers: try reading this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351
