[00:00] No answer to my question...does plymouth display message when coming from hibernate? [00:00] 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 === The_Doctor is now known as Ttech [00:01] MTPrower grub won't [shouldn't] affect your data [00:01] Polah you here [00:01] MTPrower, I will warn you that backups of important data is a good thing :-) [00:01] sunice: I have to use command line? I can't install it via Windows? Command line scares me away [00:01] MTPrower, we are not responsible for any lost data. [00:01] smw: dude, I can't do that [00:01] Welcome back MTPrower. How did it go? [00:02] MTProwers: don't fear. It's just text. [00:02] MTPrower, can't do what? backup? [00:02] Ibis: poorly. I got nowhere [00:02] smw: yep. Have nothing to back up to, and can't afford anything === OffToHades is now known as BarkingFish [00:03] MTPrower, my definition of backup is my free dropbox account. [00:03] are the ubuntu irc logs public? [00:03] MTPrower, anything I could not stand loosing is there :-P [00:03] !log | nocilis [00:03] nocilis: Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ . LoCo channels are now logged there too; for older LoCo channel logs, see http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [00:03] smw: I used to use a dropbox. I need 360 GB of space though [00:03] nocilis: yes [00:03] ubottu is god [00:03] MTPrower: Yea, I used to be afraid of that. But then I learned this... I am better off doing Command Lines for when I need to fix problems. (Hint: As long as the tutorials you google for are good). [00:04] MonkeyDust thx, found em [00:04] Hello, can anyone help me with foremost? [00:04] ubottu tell smw about god [00:04] Ibis: There's no way I can install grub via command line. I know nothing about command line and there's too much to memorize [00:04] MTPrower: a 1 Tb external hard drive is about $80 or so these days.... you say you can't afford it, but can you really afford to LOSE data? ;) [00:04] MTProwers: Not too further this, but any data that is not backed up might as well have never existed. [00:04] Maarten: I get $10 a week [00:05] gnomie, I already got a pm informing me ubottu knew nothing about is god :-P === tardis is now known as rww [00:05] MTPrower: you must be.... young. [00:05] MTPrower: Which is why I suggested a tutorial. [00:05] Maarten: or under a ridiculous system [00:05] MTPrower: Okay okay. Bu it would be easier if you told us the exact error message you get when trying to boot inti Kubuntu.. [00:05] MTPrower: except an allowence from mom and dad, I can't see how anyone gets $10 a week..... [00:05] MTPrower: He isn't [00:06] Ibis: I don't get an error message. I get a lack of a booting option [00:06] MTPrower: But any fancy logo appeared? [00:06] MTProwers: if you cannot use the command line to solve the issue you will have to try to reinstall. That is all I think we can do for you. [00:06] Maarten, while I must agree with that comment, I don't think it helps the conversation ;-) [00:06] can any one here help me [00:07] !helpme| jojo_ [00:07] smw: agreed :) moving on. [00:07] what's your problem [00:07] jojo_: Avoid following your questions with a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [00:07] !ask | jojo_ [00:07] jojo_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:07] Hmm, I know, I remember windows had this "Boot start up option" where you can create your own Boot Option. [00:07] when I try to run "sudo foremost -t mp3,mkv -d -o recovery -v -i /dev/sdb" to try and recover some files from a recently formatted external HDD, foremost seems to do nothing, instead keeps replying me with the -options to run foremost? [00:07] Think it'll work if we just plug Kubuntu in there? [00:07] which rule should i used to configure the nat ? [00:07] hello guys how are you all today [00:07] sudo iptables -A FORWARD -o eth0 -i eth1 -s 192.168.0.0/24 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -j ACCEPT [00:07] sudo iptables -A FORWARD -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT [00:07] sudo iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE [00:08] Chotaz: try testdisk [00:08] i believe MTPrower mentioned he has kubuntu on a flash drive. if this is the case, MTPrower needs to change boot device order in bios to boot from usb drive. [00:08] ibis, I successfully installed Kubuntu onto a separate partition, but I could not boot it. Instead, Windows would boot automatically [00:08] jojo_, you may also find hep with this on ##linux or #ubuntu-server [00:08] which rule should i used to configure the nat ? sudo iptables -A FORWARD -o eth0 -i eth1 -s 192.168.0.0/24 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -j ACCEPT [00:08] sudo iptables -A FORWARD -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT [00:08] sudo iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE [00:08] Chotaz: I could be wrong, but I think you have to MOUNT the drive first, instead of going straight to /dev/sdb for foremost to work [00:08] MTPrower: Ah, that's easy. I have an idea. [00:08] gnomie: I did do that and succeeded at installation. I just couldn't boot Kubuntu for some reason. It may have been bootable, but I sure couldn't figure out how to do it [00:09] MonkeyDust: My older brother manage to use my media storage external hdd to install Oneiric somehow, I want to try and recover some of the media I had inside, how will Testdisk help me? [00:09] which rule should i used to configure the nat ? sudo iptables -A FORWARD -o eth0 -i eth1 -s 192.168.0.0/24 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -j ACCEPT [00:09] sudo iptables -A FORWARD -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT [00:09] sudo iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE [00:09] hi guys, may i ask what header files are for? or just basically what they are? [00:09] jojo_, stop spamming [00:09] because no one ans me [00:09] jojo_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [00:09] minnillo, generally they define portions of programs [00:09] uhm ok [00:09] Chotaz: apt-cache search testdisk [00:09] testdisk - Partition scanner and disk recovery tool [00:10] not really sure what that means hehe [00:10] jojo_, patience. Chances are no one knew the answer. I have done nat before but I have not memorized it. [00:10] minnillo, well in programming you have waht are called functions, in C language you can define your function definitions in a header file [00:10] jojo_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [00:10] jojo_: If you don't get an answer within 30 seconds, that does not mean you can spam your question again..... this is no "instant gratification helpdesk" but merely some individuals that might or might not know something, and might or might not answer. They are under NO obligation to answer even if they do know the answer. Welcome to IRC :) [00:10] yes i will [00:11] yes i well check on that now [00:11] Question: if my installation of Kubuntu is successful but I cannot boot it from a bootloader, can I just install Grub2, or do I have to start over with my Kubuntu installation AFTER installing Grub2? [00:12] praetorian: hmm i see. but in linux are they the same as in programming? [00:12] i just i wanted to share internet on my network and i ve done everything but non of is working [00:12] MonkeyDust: it tells me to select the aprtition table type, I ahve no clue, the only reason I know this has oneiric inside was when I booted my comp with this HDD plugged in, an oneireic option pointing to /dev/sdb was showing. [00:12] just like this one i follow exactly this one : http://www.somewhereville.com/?p=1196 [00:12] but none is working.. [00:13] praetorian: cause i've been hearing about them lately a lot on linux whenever intalling some programs [00:13] MTPrower, can you boot the kubuntu disc and run this command and pastebin it sudo fdisk -l [00:13] Praetorian: i just got curious what header files are [00:13] in linux [00:13] urlin2u: which command? [00:13] urlin2u: oh sorry [00:13] is this the support you need [00:13] minnillo, no prob [00:13] MTPrower, fdisk -l [00:13] urlin2u: what does that command do? [00:13] alright thanks Praet0rian [00:14] minnillo, best way to understand them would be to take a programming tutorial [00:14] are they present in Java too? [00:14] minnillo, java uses class files [00:14] minnillo, little different [00:14] MTPrower, it will show whch partiton contains what so we can give you the commands to install grub2 and boot all your OS's [00:14] ahhh i see [00:14] none is here to help me [00:15] Praet0rian: yeah ok i think i kinda get header files now. thanks for your help :) [00:15] jojo_: perhaps no one knows. That is also a possibility :) [00:15] np [00:15] jojo ~ just install firestarter and it havee automatic ICS setup. === marienz_ is now known as marienz [00:16] how should i install firestarter>> [00:16] jojo_ sudo apt-get install firestarter [00:16] jojo_: and ~ don't think 1467 in the channel is alot 90% of the people is AFK. be patient [00:16] I wouldnt use it though [00:16] ubuntu has a default firewall called ufw [00:17] I have a folder within Windows called "Casper" and an application file of unetbootin. Can I delete these? [00:17] MTPrower: have you set up usb booting? (for windows) [00:18] is there guide on how to use a firestarter?? [00:18] Jeruvy: I already created a live USB [00:18] jojo_ type man firestarter at command line [00:18] MTPrower: you should leave it in place then. [00:19] !firestarter | jojo_ [00:19] jojo_: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist. [00:19] can firestater able to share internet?? [00:20] Do I need Grub if I want to keep my files but I don't need a Windows installation and only want Kubuntu? I don't need Windows, but I don't want to lose anything [00:24] Can anyone suggest me a good tool to recover mp3 and mkv files? [00:24] MTPrower, grub is how you boot kubuntu, yo need it to start it up, it will also boot windows if you want to keep it. Your questions are valid within a context; but are very disjointed, you might consider the Ubuntu forums really. [00:25] MTPrower: My software of choice to make a bootable USB drive has always been: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [00:25] Iblis: I tried utenbootin [00:26] y software of choice to make a bootable USB pendrive has always been: gnu dd [00:26] :P [00:26] urlin2u: They're disjointed because I don't understand how this all works. Nobody bothers to make a Kubuntu installing guide for dummies. Maybe Linux users in general don't know how to break things down... === jthomas_ is now known as TheDracle === JoeGazz84 is now known as dorkus [00:29] Chotaz, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery [00:29] MTPrower, your on a channel that is very busy, it is somewhat expected that you would at the least, follow some directions without trying to learn it all at the same time, dong that makes it very difficult to help you. This is not train you to understand every single bit but a support channel to fix the problem. [00:29] urlin2u: I've been browsing documentation, wikis, and forums for the last two days straight. I don't think the general approach is working for me... it's like teaching students to memorize math formulas and postulates without explaining why they are important... === dorkus is now known as JoeGazz84 [00:30] #stasi [00:30] #stasi [00:30] Chotaz, also see http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec [00:30] #stasi [00:30] urlin2u: I'm not being... pushy or whatever the word is I'm looking for... about support [00:30] MTPrower, to be honest I think you may be trying to understand to much to fast. [00:30] urlin2u: sorry if I'm coming off that way [00:31] urlin2u: and it's possible [00:31] #stasi [00:31] MTPrower: idk whats you problem but I suggest you install VirtualBox and install Archlinux, you will learn alot during progress [00:31] if you want to learn [00:31] how things work [00:31] urlin2u: I don't expect support to be able to solve things better or faster than they can. Sorry if I appeared that way [00:32] Tophan: I don't really want to learn Linux by that approach. I'd rather start with a simple GUI and work up from there. That's why I chose Kubuntu [00:33] I did learn a LOT from using Arch. I am a Debian user, but I have to say that Arch forces you to LEARN Linux. [00:33] I recommend it as a learning experience if you are brave enough :) [00:33] What I've decided to do was see if I could borrow an external hard drive. At least I could back up my stuff and see if I could start from scratch, with no Windows installation... [00:33] I always thought freebsd made me learn linux [00:34] rypervenche: I don't want to learn Linux, if you know what I mean. I'm switching to Kubuntu for practical purposes and to save money and not resort to software stealing [00:34] ...stupid floodbot [00:34] how do i download/install/activate the 3d nvidia drivers? the ones that let you play games in 3d with the red/blue glasses === aNoNymOus is now known as Guest63383 [00:36] teddyroosebelt: thanks for the tips, im now running a scan with photorec for *.mp3 and *.mkv files, what can I expect, the whole 1TB disk used to by filled with music and movies, and now only 1,7GB of the disk is occuppied, so a great part of the sectores should no ahve been written over, right? [00:36] if i have a string like this how do i extract only the alphanumeric part of the string : echo "| smokers |" | grep someExpression ? [00:37] For many people, using Linux is an enthusiastic hobby. I must say, my enthusiasm for "more intelligent things" lies elsewhere. My computing expertise lies in practical work and maintenance. I want a computer for practical purposes, not advanced things like command line. I'm just a normal PC guy [00:37] diverdude, you will need a regular expressin [00:38] whatever floats your boat [00:38] Praet0rian, yes, what does that look like? [00:38] diverdude, you will definitly have to read a regular expression tutorial, they are quite difficult to explain [00:40] MTPrower, grab yourself a tutorial on a Ubuntu distribution and reinstall according to those specific instructions. It's not rocket science unless you want a moon shot. [00:42] hey [00:42] How do i install a .sh file [00:42] i have tried sudo sh then install.sh(name of file) [00:42] i'm not sure what i'm supposed to do.trying to install a script for volume control [00:42] SetiAmon: what program do you want to install?

[00:43] jbrib:gives multimedia keyboard control when using OSS like with pulse [00:43] 10.04 [00:43] lucid [00:44] SetiAmon: you aren't using pulse? [00:44] jorge_, give better details [00:44] what's the best *.mkv file player for Ubuntu, both 720p and 1080p? [00:45] okei, when i run firefox this hangs, with a terminal hangs and give any error [00:45] jrib:no i have a x-fi.the sound is horriable.static and distortion.Oss4 works flawlessly but I have no keyboard control.so i want to install this script.it says just install the install.sh but i don't know how [00:46] anyone around that can help with IDLE for python? [00:46] jorge_, what is this? and any errors pastebin them. http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [00:46] SetiAmon: you understand the dangers in executing software with root privileges (especially software not vetted by someone like a package maintainer)? [00:46] help is there a Davical ubuntu package [00:46] how can you tell which version of ubuntu you are using on a netbook os? [00:46] DthenQ: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [00:47] !version | sam555 [00:47] sam555: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » === prakriti is now known as DrShoggoth [00:47] jrib: yeah but its a open script posted on oss4 and used by many so i don't see much of a risk [00:47] i cant reinstall firefox.. [00:47] jorge_, firefox hangs seems to be what your saying can you be more detaled when, where and how. === Logan_ is now known as Guest45494 [00:47] thanks jrib [00:47] http://ossvol.sourceforge.net/ [00:47] SetiAmon: navigate to the directory you have the script in (using your terminal) [00:47] I have jrib.i am there nopw [00:47] now [00:48] SetiAmon: the script is named "install.sh"? [00:48] need help - how do i copy and paste some python files from documents to /usr/local/bin [00:48] DthenQ: why do you want to do this? [00:48] jorge_, whay do you need to reinstall it? [00:48] why [00:48] yes jrib [00:48] because i removed [00:48] SetiAmon: issue: chmod +x install.sh [00:48] jorge_, how did you remove it? [00:49] apt-get remove --purge firefox [00:49] ok now what do i do jrib [00:49] my video card fan is goin turbo since i installed ubuntu any idea how to fix that [00:49] SetiAmon: issue: ./install.sh [00:49] jorge_, okay, look in the software center for firefox. [00:50] SetiAmon: if you need to run it with sudo (I do not know; check the software's documentation), do so [00:50] okei [00:50] Cool jrib [00:50] thanks a lot.second day back into linux.its a bit harder to pick up again [00:51] jrib: IDLE looks for files in /usr/..etc, can't seem to get the files over, i'm total noob. [00:51] Hey, I'm new here but I came to ask: How do you change the backlight time on 11.04? [00:51] jrib: is it more standard to set the file path of IDLE to the documents folder, or something like that [00:52] DthenQ isn't idle just a text editor? [00:52] jrib: yeah idle is a text editor. but i'm reaaally new to ubuntu [00:53] DthenQ: what documents do you need? [00:53] jrib: when you go to 'open' in the editor, the directory path is limited to /, /user,/user/local [00:53] DthenQ: that seems strange... [00:54] jrib: i'm basically trying to set up a working folder for projects and stuff, and I have the example .py files from an ebook [00:54] DthenQ: is there a particular reason you want to use idle? [00:54] jrib: but IDLE wants to look in the .. root folder i guess [00:55] Hunter275, try gnome-power-preferences [00:55] jrib: it's a fairly standard python editor, i think. its often recommended in the texts and its what i used in windows [00:55] thanks [00:55] DthenQ: you can just use any text editor basically. But if you need help with idle I suppose #python should know more about it [00:55] jrib: thanks I will give that a try [00:56] DthenQ: how did you install it by the way? [00:56] what's the best *.mkv file player for Ubuntu, both 720p and 1080p? [00:56] urlin2u, Failed to install or uninstall a software package. [00:56] Chotaz, probabaly VLC? [00:56] Hunter275, type gnome-power-preferences in a terminal or go to system preferences power management [00:56] urlin2u, Failed to install or uninstall a software package. [00:57] jorge_, I'm not sure here sorry. [00:57] okei [00:57] jorge_: install another browser, like chromium. does that fail also? [00:58] i have installed chrome [00:58] does suspend need lots of memory for suspending with compiz installed? I have 2 gig. [00:58] thanks bye [00:59] my video card fan is goin turbo since i installed ubuntu any idea how to fix that [00:59] and it fails with 3 virtual terminals open [00:59] sup [01:00] who uses irsii [01:00] Praet0rian: probably no one [01:01] irssi support in #irssi, Praet0rian [01:01] cool thx [01:02] Praet0rian: Many. [01:02] Praet0rian, probably RMS if it could run in Emacs, ha [01:02] !details | jazonn [01:02] jazonn: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [01:02] MTPrower: How's it going? [01:02] Praet0rian: I used to, but I prefer weechat. [01:03] in a loop as this: for model in `cat tables.txt`; do cake bake model "$model"; done how do i skip the first 3 iterations? [01:04] Hey [01:04] diverdude, we don't do homework. :D [01:05] urlin2u, this is not homework [01:05] How do I copy over a read-only system file as root using cp? I tried -f and that doesn't work. still says "file exists" [01:05] do I have to chmod it? [01:06] brack9: you can't write to a read-only file system, even as root [01:06] cp /foo/bar /foo/bar/bar - cp: can't create '/foo/bar/bar': File exists [01:06] angel56: so chmod? I can't mv either [01:06] brack9: chmod won't help. You cannot write to a read-only file system [01:06] So it's impossible? [01:07] brack9, Can you use "mkdir" first? [01:07] Xeneth: Why? The directory is already there [01:07] I'm talking about files [01:08] Chotaz, not unless you have used it alot since the mp3s have been deleted/lost [01:08] brack9, I came in after you said that it seems, so I may not know the whole deal. [01:08] How do I copy over a read-only system file as root using cp? I tried -f and that doesn't work. still says "file exists" - cp /foo/bar /foo/bar/bar - cp: can't create '/foo/bar/bar': File exists [01:08] brack9: you have to mount the system read-write if you want to write to it [01:08] oh ok [01:09] teddyroosebelt: my brother managed to format and install Oneiric's Beta1 on it, but it was about 2~4 hours ago, and the disk hasnt been written anything ever since [01:09] Chotaz, good. shouldnt be too bad then. [01:10] angel56 thanks [01:10] In Ubuntu server, how to trace a process tree? [01:11] teddyroosebelt: i hope so, i had over 500GB in movies and near 200GB in mp3s that if I happen to loose even 1 byte of, ima kill my brother. [01:11] Good evening, anybody play quake 3 arena here? [01:11] ptree, Xeneth [01:11] phelippe: wrong channel [01:12] Chotaz: not funny. and you will probably lose some files. good luck [01:12] Unity icons are missing from my tray. I even tried to install: unity-2d [01:12] angel56: i wanna fix sound about my game, continue on wrong channel? [01:13] anyone know how to change your hostname from command line? >hostname myhost doesn't change it permanently [01:13] Shirakawasuna, States it's not installed, and when I try to install it, it say's it cannot be found [01:13] I purged unity, re-installed it. I'm having no luck here. [01:13] phelippe: if you need support, ask a support question [01:13] Xeneth: type 'ptree' into a terminal (my favorite feature of ubuntu) [01:13] Xeneth: it will tell you which package to install === E3D3 is now known as Sandcastle === Sandcastle is now known as Sandcastles [01:14] Okay. My game wont start with sound. no sound. any sound. with script i can open with sound others game but this (quake3) i dont have any script for fix this. I open one script to see what is inside but i dont know much things to do alone, anyone can give me a support? [01:14] Shirakawasuna, thanks, I was mistyping it. [01:14] Xeneth: np! [01:16] -bash: /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss: No such file or directory [01:16] Shirakawasuna, LOL but it gives an error on install. I have been thinking of redoing this anyhow, but I would like to figure this out anyhow... [01:16] phelippe: it's possible there is a #quake channel. try === alpha is now known as Guest47954 [01:16] can anyone recommend a good vnc server with a gui for ubuntu netbook os 10? [01:17] Any suggestions for making the Unity icons on the LEFT appear? [01:17] Ibis: tried to simply reset it¿¿ [01:17] unity --reset [01:17] hmm [01:17] Shirakawasuna, And this error is caused by the same thing I am trying to figure out. LOL [01:17] Xeneth: Ah, that's terrible! lol [01:17] Xeneth: what issue are you trying to figure out? [01:18] gnomie: thanks i found ioquake3 [01:19] Shirakawasuna, Transmission stopped working properly. Permission issue, yet I could not find what the issue was. I have butchered it to the point that I was thinking of redoing the machine anyhow. Completely unorganized right now. [01:19] Hi guys, do you if there is an Ubuntu certification or test? [01:19] lol [01:19] *do u know [01:19] hi [01:19] Shirakawasuna, Transmission-daemon [01:19] xangua, nope but I'm trying it now. [01:20] Xeneth: no error messages telling you what permissions are missing? [01:20] anyone know how to get a vncserver running on a netbook os 10? [01:21] Xeneth: If you're thinking about reinstalling, you could try chown -R root:root / (then chown youruser:youruser /home/youruser) [01:21] hopefully ownership solves the problem [01:21] if not, it's trickier [01:21] Shirakawasuna, it said it lacked permission to the destination folder, though I set them to 777 and changed ownership to the daemon [01:22] Xeneth: if you do ls -la, what does the dir's permissions show? [01:22] sam555: install vnc4server, then start it with vncserver :0 [01:23] HellO, Someone knows if there is any certification for ubuntu? [01:24] Just to know [01:24] Shirakawasuna, drwxrwx--- 5 debian-transmission debian-transmission 4096 2011-07-29 19:41 torrent [01:24] angel56: thanks! [01:24] Xeneth: chmod 755 [01:25] So my filesystem is mounted rw but I still can't overwrite read-only system files. Do i need to chmod it now? [01:25] Xeneth: or more likely sudo chmod 755 [01:25] Shirakawasuna, It's the sub-dir. sorry. drwxrwxrwx 2 debian-transmission debian-transmission 4096 2011-07-29 19:41 download [01:25] Xeneth: ah [01:25] xangua: So far, I'm getting no results here. [01:26] Xeneth: can you `cd download`? [01:26] xangua: The icons are still missing. [01:26] brack9: yes, at least the owner of the file must have write permission to write (delete) the file [01:26] Xeneth: also, have you tried backing that dir up somewhere (mv download download-bak) and letting it get recreated [01:26] ANyone have a suggestion on why websites won't load after a fresh install (10.04)? I've disable ipv6 and changed the DNS togoogle public dns. There are no proxy setting in the network setup or browser preferences. [01:27] surfnsound: can you ping anything? [01:27] Shirakawasuna, have not backed up, it;s actually a HDD mount. I cannot cd to it. That may be the cause. I'll test. [01:28] Shirakawasuna, yes, pinging in terminal is no problem [01:28] I can run software updates, IRC, and others with no problem [01:28] hm. what's the application to help you figure out which files/folders are taking up the most room? [01:28] i can't find it. [01:28] how would I go about running an sql statement right from the command line? need to figure this out so that I can run it in a cron job [01:28] I've tried 4 browsers now though with no luck [01:30] surfnsound: interesting [01:30] Shirakawasuna, LOL, I think I stripped that program out to be sure there is not secureity holes since it was not working. have to reinstall it. [01:30] surfnsound: so you can ping www.google.com and it resolves and everything? [01:30] surfnsound: because I don't know why something like chrome wouldn't work then [01:31] Xeneth: bummer [01:31] Shirakawasuna, yes, pinging google.com resolves with 2% loss [01:31] what more details could there be for that? ubuntu 11.04 and uhh my fan is really fast? because i don't know and thats why im asking [01:32] I can get google to load, actually, but if I search something none of the links will resolve [01:32] hmm [01:32] sometimes it works and sometims it doesn't [01:32] what DNS settings are you using, surfnsound? [01:32] but it is always very slow [01:33] hmm [01:33] jazonn: turn off desktop effects, see if fan slows down [01:33] I used to get slow resolution w/ ipv6, but you say you already disabled it [01:33] lsmod | ipv6 is clean? [01:33] it can be pretty hard to get ipv6 to actually go away sometimes === marienz_ is now known as marienz [01:34] llet me try, someone told me to disable it in GRUB [01:34] if this is a laptop, surfnsound, then I would expect this problem to go away if you tried say... a Starbucks Wi-Fi AP, but only if it's the ipv6 stuff [01:34] hmmm, ive only tried it at home [01:35] Shirakawasuna, it's easy to get it back already have it installed. testing now [01:36] Shirakawasuna, my wired connection actually seems to be ok [01:37] hmm [01:37] how do i do the lsmod ipv6? [01:37] oh, sorry my command was bad [01:37] terminal said unknown command [01:37] lsmod | grep ipv6 [01:37] hello ;) [01:37] Shirakawasuna, Nope, still getting permission denied on creating the new foulder. [01:37] Shirakawasuna, yes, that is clean [01:37] Xeneth: is the drive mounted read-only? [01:38] Shirakawasuna, Pardon the bad spelling. [01:38] surfnsound: cool === shafic7 is now known as shimmr7 [01:38] surfnsound: so it's not ipv6. [01:38] uhm, i'm about all out of frustration guys...I cant get a USB audio device's mic input to show up in any of the mixers in ubuntu 11.04 server...anyone know right off the top of their head what might cause that? :) [01:38] hiya! i have win7 on my laptop, and i've just installed ubuntu with dual boot. how can i change the entry in grub that is selected by default when the laptop powers on? also, it seems that the "timeout" to select a system in grub doesn't exist any more - ie. previously if i don't select a system manually and press enter for, say, 10 seconds, the system selected by default would be booted [01:38] been searching around, found nothing the past few hours [01:38] I am getting mic audio, just cant adjust the /dev/mixer1 settings... [01:38] surfnsound: if ethernet is working, it's (obviously) something related to your wi-fi, either your card, wi-fi-related software, multiple network setup stuff, or your router [01:38] uh, forgot to mention - i've installed ubuntu 11.04, so it's grub2 [01:39] i'm able to ping the router ok [01:39] Shirakawasuna, nope. It's actually my /home. One of the things I was talking about when I said "un-organized" [01:39] surfnsound: maybe it's having trouble setting up your wireless interface properly === Jasonn is now known as JasonMovie [01:40] Xeneth: so your /home is called 'download'? [01:40] I'm confused! [01:41] Shirakawasuna, should I try setting the ipv4 setting manually? [01:42] DHCP autoatic with google pblic DNS didn't work [01:42] Shirakawasuna, My mistake. I originally thought "torrent" was a mount point. It's not, It's in my home dir which is it's own mount point. [01:42] where is the best place to look for/request ubuntu printer drivers for Canon printers? [01:42] Shirakawasuna, I have verified that anyone can create a folder in the dir. [01:43] surfnsound: It's possible, but I don't know why it'd work. [01:43] surfnsound: just trying different configurations isn't a bad idea [01:44] Xeneth: ok. So is the folder 'download' or 'torrent' (whichever one's giving the issues) something that 1) exists, 2) has files in it, and/or 3) can be cd'd into? [01:44] well, do you have any suggestions on what I can do? I'd rather not have a laptop that I can't actually be mobile wtith [01:44] Shirakawasuna, I was thinking the daemon did not have permissions to a process, which is why I started out asking about the process tree. [01:45] Shirakawasuna, ~/torrents/downloads/ [01:45] surfnsound: Are you dualbooting? If this problem persisted in e.g. Windows XP you'd know it was hardware [01:46] I am dual booting, windows gives me no problems [01:46] Xeneth: can your user do `cd ~/torrents/download` [01:46] Hi [01:46] Shirakawasuna, all appear to be yes [01:46] Xeneth: or `touch ~/torrents/download/testfile` [01:46] ok [01:46] so it's only this one app that has perms problems [01:46] when I vnc into a netbook running ubuntu netbook os 10, it keeps going to my favorites instead of keeping the view of the application. Any ideas on how to fix this? [01:47] surfnsound: darn, I was kind of hoping it was hardware [01:47] Shirakawasuna, correct. [01:47] yeah, i wish it was something that easy [01:48] Shirakawasuna, though it is the only program trying to create files on it's own. Other programs are to give me access, like ssh [01:48] Can I ask a question [01:49] surfnsound: I'm out of ideas, but I'm a little new to ubuntu so don't give up yet. Basically I would start looking into your specific wireless card/drivers (lspci for the card, lsmod for modules). I would also try disabling all network interfaces besides wireless and trying things out. Also compare windows/linux side by side, right next to the router.... [01:49] surfnsound: after that I don't know... besides maybe trying 10.10 or 11.04 [01:49] surfnsound: incidentally, why are you using 10.04? [01:50] i actually just installed it [01:50] i was in 9.04 [01:50] haha [01:50] old! :) [01:50] i didn't want to change because when I tried upgrading when 9.10 came out I had all inds of issues [01:50] very [01:50] Xeneth: I'm really not sure, then. Transmission's having issues. Maybe it's transmission's settings. [01:50] but to be fair, Ubuntu dues update alot and fast [01:51] then someone said not to use the upgrade in the update manager, do a fresh install [01:51] but i didn't feel like reinstalling all my programs [01:51] !ask | carpunky [01:51] carpunky: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [01:51] Shirakawasuna, so I thought too. I purged and started fresh with same issue. May help to know what started this.... [01:51] I installed the lastest version of Ubuntu using Wubi ( something like that ) to run in widows...is it the same as installing it to the hard drive that way or will I be missing something ? [01:52] surfnsound: you could try out natty's liveCD environment and see if the wireless works better [01:52] no need to install [01:52] yeah, i might do that [01:53] Shirakawasuna, I was trying to find a BT that saved torrent file. I didn;t know at the time about the .transmission-daemon folder. I tried installing r.torrent and this happened. [01:53] time to get another thumb drive I uess, haha [01:53] !wubi | carpunky [01:53] carpunky: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. For Ubuntu Maverick/10.10 http://releases.ubuntu.com/maverick/wubi.exe [01:54] does anyone know if/when nvidia 3d vision will be supported? [01:54] carpunky, Please keep in mind, Wubi is designed ONLY to try ubuntu, within the Win OS and in my considered opinion, it's not really good at that; with all due respect to the developers. [01:54] carpunky: it's a little different, it's a little bit more like a virtual machine (less access to resources) [01:54] carpunky: it is not quite the same as installing to hard drive but for all intended purposes it will work the same as if [01:55] Shirakawasuna, thanks for trying. Now you know why I am thinking on a complete redo of the system. :) It will haunt me to the end of my day's not knowing though. [01:55] am i safe using ubuntu and irc, the firewall seems a little slim [01:55] Xeneth: there's other apps besides transmission, you know ;) [01:55] torrent apps that is [01:55] np [01:55] brb [01:56] brimstonez, Couldn't be safer. :-) [01:56] Thans all for replying, So Im assuming it would be better to partition or use another hard drive to get the full benefit of ubuntu [01:56] carpunky, my first install was a wubi install. It's a safe option to not mess up too badly while you get used to learning the environment, but for some problems it is hard find help in the forums because you sometimes have to do things slightly differently [01:56] z.org [01:56] carpunky: in other words, wubi is more aimed as a trial method. once you're comfortable enough you should decide to do a proper install [01:56] carpunky, Have yopu looked into dual boot? [01:56] you, even. [01:57] the firewall on ubuntu make me nervous [01:57] Shirakawasuna, true, but that lack of knowing where it saved the torrent was the only thins I disliked about it, and it's really easy to set up as long as some idiot doesn't screw up and create some ghost of a permission error. [01:57] makes** [01:57] No, i have not looked into duel boot [01:57] How can I disable the cdrom and floppy? It always stops and takes about 4 minutes to search for them when I know they're disconnected. [01:57] At boot that is. [01:58] brimstonez: what are you worried about specifically? [01:58] safe_, I think you can remove them from fstab [01:58] carpunky, This link should answer most/all of your questions: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/index.php Enjoy! [01:58] safe_: you can disable boot devices in bios [01:58] safe_, e then you can mount it manually as needed. [01:59] Thanks all....going to read the link [01:59] :D [01:59] windows firewall blocks apps and request permission but ubuntu firewall has not prompted me at all [02:00] Right, thanks. [02:00] i have incoming connections disabled and i was think that since its so simple that it would block everything, do the packages open ports? [02:00] macer1: The floodbots aren't sentient. [02:00] brimstonez, Security is a bit different in Ubuntu; you might have a look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510812 [02:01] rww: they are not supybots? [02:01] macer1: no [02:01] rww: ok :) [02:01] Does Ubuntu have a firewall by default? [02:01] !firewall [02:01] Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist. [02:02] * Sidewinder1 Is ticked; rww is faster. :-) [02:02] did you guys/gals get an unsigned update today? [02:03] anyone who has a solution for the kworker bug? http://askubuntu.com/questions/33640/kworker-what-is-it-and-why-is-it-hogging-so-much-cpu [02:03] brimstonez, No update of any kind here, 10.04. [02:03] Ok...I was reading the dual boot ....So I guess thats what I did with Wubi , because when I reset my puter it goes to the boot options of win7 or Ubuntu [02:04] carpunky, No, wubi is not dual boot; please read ling further. :-) [02:04] link, even. [02:04] carpunky: wubi does offer option to install to disk as well.. [02:05] ok, let me read further, i got 2 exited [02:05] furthermore, if you see a grub menu on boot, you do have a dual boot setup already [02:05] carpunky, Understood, the excitement that is, that link will explain almost everything. [02:05] carpunky, are you trying to decide to install, or are you just wanting to run it in windows? [02:06] how do you reply...sorry [02:06] !who | carpunky [02:06] carpunky: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [02:06] Unity 2D doesn't have that "blank/invisible" icons in launcher bug like the default unity does. [02:07] ah, ty [02:07] carpunky, My pleasure. :D [02:07] xangua: Just so you know. [02:07] sidewinder : test [02:08] carpunky, Just having someones name in the sentences causes it to address them. On mine, it shows red rext to let me see it better. [02:08] xeneth ty [02:08] carpunky, no "space" after nick. [02:08] sidewinder1likethis [02:09] carpunky, Either a , or : like this <--- [02:09] carpunky, he meant no space between name and colon "name: text" [02:09] sidewinder1: test [02:09] ^ [02:09] You got it ! [02:09] thank god [02:10] LOL [02:10] Or any other deities that are around... [02:10] xeneth: ty [02:10] <°))))>< [02:10] Thank Baal [02:11] ... If I even spelled the correctly [02:11] :P [02:11] carpunky, NP [02:11] * Sidewinder1 Knew what you meant. :-) [02:11] xeneth: I already have it installed using Wubi , I was ust wondering if I was getting full use of it that way [02:11] you got it right, Xeneth [02:11] i just wish vmware would make opengl drivers for linux guests [02:12] lol [02:12] carpunky, never used Wubi, but if it's like other virtual machines, you have limeted direct control of hardware using it. [02:13] carpunky: expect Wubi to be a little bit slower than a real installation would be [02:13] Canon does NOT support Linux for their printers...do I have any other options? [02:13] carpunky: particularly for things like videos/games [02:13] RussW: HP? [02:13] carpunky, Not to but into Xeneth but, really no; as I stated earlier, wubi is for trying ubuntu. One does not really get the full experience 'til you dual boot. [02:14] anyone who has a solution for the kworker bug? http://askubuntu.com/questions/33640/kworker-what-is-it-and-why-is-it-hogging-so-much-cpu [02:14] My printer SAYS Canon, though... [02:14] Sidewinder1, No big, in truth, I'm not the one who started, so I butted in myself. :P [02:14] ok, you guys, appreciate all your input Im goiing to read that whole link sidewinder1 sent to me, so i dont feel so silly when asking things [02:14] carpunky, That way you're running ubuntu in it's own environment; not within the windoze environment. [02:16] carpunky, There is a learning curve; but once you understand it, it can be very rewarding. :-) [02:16] carpunky, Bon chance! [02:16] carpunky we all were newbees, once [02:16] carpunky, You will learm more about computing in linux then you can in windows. [02:16] Fr. for good luck. [02:17] Have a nice evening ALL! [02:17] carpunky, In my opinion, one of windows downfalls is that it tries doing everything instead f being customizable. If you look in your desktop services, you will see you are running a wireless service still. [02:18] RussW: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Printing-HOWTO/printers.html <-- has some information about supported printers [02:18] Shirakawasuna (et al.): Does anyone in the Ubuntu community do printer driver conversions? [02:18] hello everyone [02:19] RussW: I have no idea, sorry [02:20] i have read that i cant share my second harddrive on a samba network in my ubuntu box if it is in ntfs format. anyone know if this is true, i am having one hell of a time getting a folder on that second hard drive to share. [02:20] russellw, I think I did come across some that did when I was searching on how to get my printer working. Couldn't tell you more. [02:20] would drivers from other Distro's work in Ubuntu? [02:21] opps. <:0 [02:21] ahhh it seems to always be a hardware issue with ubuntu i had a hell of a time getting my printer to work too [02:21] what kind of printer? [02:21] RussW, I would think as long as you had the libraries to support it. [02:22] russw: what kind of printer? [02:23] Canon i900D [02:23] RussW, http://www.linux-drivers.org/index.html [02:23] unity 3d stopped working after an update. i have an nvidia gt240. how can i get it back to work? [02:23] Canon chooses not to support Linux [02:23] i'm not sure which update broke it [02:23] anything i look up online on how to fix it, doesn't work [02:23] RussW, Thou Ubuntu is normally good at adding drivers already to the OS. [02:23] my printer is a canon also [02:24] if its recent i found drivers for it [02:24] Can I just install another hard drive on my computer and install ubuntu on that [02:24] yes carpunky [02:24] that seems the safer option [02:25] yes it is [02:25] carpunky: safer than what? [02:25] or you can partition [02:25] safer than partitoning [02:25] anybody? [02:25] yes [02:25] just make sure you KNOW which drive you are installing to or else [02:25] carpunky: partitioning is perfectly safe [02:25] omg, I knew there would be or esle [02:25] carpunky, yes. What will happen is the new HDD will have Ubuntu and a bootloader called grub. Grub will boot, then you will be able to choose what OS. Does not really matter the location. I run one of my linux off of my thumb drive. [02:26] if you partition its a small possibility you could break your other OS [02:26] but whatever you do, new hd or partitioning, you should be backing up regularly [02:26] very small [02:27] is there a place I can get the original /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini file for 10.04LTS ? [02:27] is there any way I can communicate with a windows machine via ssh and copy and move files to and from it with the linux commands I already know? [02:27] RussW: what kind of printer you need a driver for? [02:27] Hot2Trot: hmm, i don't know, if you don't find an answer here, you can always try ##linux [02:28] Hot2Trot: you could use ftp or samba [02:28] Hot2Trot, Windos does not have ssh normally. Youll have to install a server. to move files, sftp would work. [02:28] Hot2Trot, or Samba. :) [02:29] Xeneth: so I can install an ssh server onto the windows computer? I would like to seemlessly add/remove files from my friend's computer who lives out of country [02:29] Hot2Trot: i was gonna suggest samba, it would be easy, but FTP would work as well. [02:29] sorry, should have put in the not within my LAN caveat [02:29] Hot2Trot: I'd suggest sftp then. [02:29] Hot2Trot: not on your LAN, FTP is the best option [02:30] so make the xp machine an FTP server? [02:30] Theres also TeamViewer if ya want remote desktop access [02:30] (it can xfer files) [02:30] Hot2Trot, You can ass ssh to a window's machine, then you can have others connect to it. [02:30] Hot2Trot, a little off topic though [02:30] what is the best way to install gnome 3.1.92 on Ubuntu? [02:30] Xeneth: what is the server software? Does putty do this? [02:31] jubbi2g: wait to 11.10 ;) [02:31] ok [02:31] Hot2Trot: the server software, is an OS.. i take it you want the machine to keep windows? [02:31] I know I prob should [02:31] Hot2Trot, putty is a client, you will have to install opssh onto the windows for a server. [02:31] but..what could go wrong :-D [02:32] so can anyone help me with networking? [02:32] D_Russ: What's the problem? [02:32] what's the problem? [02:32] trying to get my windows box to read from the second ntfs harddrive on my ubuntu box [02:32] jokn: trying to get my windows box to read from the second ntfs harddrive on my ubuntu box [02:33] Hot2Trot, just google "windows ssh server" Should get you what you want. [02:33] via samba [02:33] D_Russ: are you using Samba on the Ubuntu box? [02:33] Hot2Trot: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/TransferFiles [02:33] ok [02:34] samba only works it seems on ext4 format [02:34] D_Russ: thats a question for ##windows [02:34] D_Russ: samba works on lots of formats, not just ext4 [02:35] i can get samba to work on files and folder on my main harddrive [02:35] but not on my second hardrive [02:35] D_Russ: then there's likely a setup issue w/ samba [02:35] sorry, my computer went crazy [02:36] KM0201: i have been googling all day trying to find the correct setup, i think i have tried them all [02:36] Hot2Trot, yea, they be loco! :) [02:36] using the samba gui [02:36] Hot2Trot: check this out... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/TransferFiles === steve1 is now known as Guest50685 [02:37] its wierd because i can use the exact same set up on the main HD as the second HD and only the main HD will share [02:37] D_Russ: whats your smb.conf look like ? [02:37] (don't paste it in here obviously) [02:38] please dont... [02:38] D_Russ: or are you using a GUI to configure the samba shares? [02:40] jokn: it looks confusing to me [02:40] newbie to ubuntu, i have been using the gui to configure [02:40] D_Russ: you're using the system-config-samba tool ? [02:41] D_Russ: what is the mount point of the second hard drive? [02:42] I want to make my ubuntu lightweight but i don't want install those bloat ware [02:42] D_Russ, sometimes it is easiest to start over. replace your samba config with a default config and then go through the process again. [02:42] !xubuntu | blackbox [02:42] blackbox: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [02:42] You may even be able to copy one from you other drive. [02:42] blackbox, Ubuntu really does not have "bloatware". [02:42] sunice: that was my last step to replace with default because i installed a program that screwed it up [02:43] gnomie: blackbox lubuntu even lighter [02:43] D_Rus:sorry joing this late. You mean to say you've already replaced it and it did not help? [02:44] KM0201: mout point is /media/back up data [02:44] xangua: lxde is nice too. no question about it [02:45] hmmm [02:45] D_Russ: can you pastebin your smb.conf [02:45] !pastebin | D_Russ [02:45] D_Russ: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [02:45] sunice: it fixed the screw up that the other app did (well i think it was a screw up) that was causing the samba app to give an error [02:45] D_Russ, Are you putting a quote around the file name? "back up data" instead of back up data? [02:45] I need to buy a new hd for my laptop. does it matter what kind? what should I think of? [02:45] Xeneth: that was my thinking, i'm thinking his smb.conf is wrong [02:45] is there any one who successful in internet sharing in ubuntu ive tried alot and none of them are working [02:46] afroman: rpm's size, and everyone has a preference. [02:46] jojo_: very successful, i bought a router... my internet shares perfectly now.. :) [02:46] KM0201: i will paste bin it [02:46] one sec [02:46] ive no router [02:46] whats the local for the samba file? [02:46] D_Russ: /etc/samba/smb.conf [02:47] jojo_: I've successfully done internet sharing with ubuntu [02:47] sunice: what I mean is, should any hd work with my laptop? or do I need to buy one that has the same specs? [02:47] i wanted to have this one [02:47] Internet Connection Sharing – Ubuntu 10.04 NAT Gateway Setup (Abridged Version) [02:47] can you provide me a guide may be or help [02:47] jokn: can you provide me a help .. [02:48] is links allowed in IRC? [02:48] jojo_: You have 1 PC and what kind of internet connection? Cable or DSL? [02:48] D_Russ: yes, as long as its not to porn or something... a pastebin is fine [02:48] http://paste.ubuntu.com/695416/ [02:49] afroman: the size is important, but other than that you should be good [02:49] DSL ive two network card , eth0 connected to wan and eth1 connected to lan ive 15 pc connected to lan [02:49] Afroman: sorry more specifically the physical dimensions [02:49] afroman: check the specs on your current hard drive. get the same one if in doubt === pace_t_zulu_ is now known as pace_t_zulu [02:50] Jokn: DSL ive two network card , eth0 connected to wan and eth1 connected to lan ive 15 pc connected to lan [02:50] D_Russ: ok, first... you need to make sure that in the path for "Utorrent downloads 2"... 1. that is case sensitive, so make sure that is all right, and 2. Put quotes on each end of the path (before /media and after 2).... those spaces are likely causing your problem [02:50] KM0201: Samba Server Configuration Tool 1.2.63 .. thats the samba app i have been using to configure. [02:50] jojo_: goto the config on eth0 under the network manager and turn on "share this connection" [02:50] D_Russ: i hvae no idea what that is. [02:51] it gives me the optioin to choose the folder from the directory vs typing it in manually [02:51] its in the software stor [02:51] afroman: also, it may be possible to find a direct replacement with more space as well [02:51] D_Russ: well, i don't use it... [02:52] D_Russ, path = /media/Back up data/Utorrent downloads 2 I think is an issue. The space causes issue. Try path = "/media/Back up data/Utorrent downloads 2" [02:52] so let me try what you suggested [02:52] jojo_: it should automatically take care of the rest, create a 10.0.0.0/24 subnet and your PCs connected to the LAN interface should be able to pull a 10.0.0.* IP via DHCP [02:52] sunice: gnomie my laptop has 80gb hd, do U think if I could get a 400 gb and it would work? [02:52] yes [02:52] afroman: is it a sata drive? [02:52] ok [02:52] sunice: gnomie: how do I know for sure? [02:52] let me give those a try [02:52] sunice: sata [02:53] jojo_: Do i need to manually configure the dhcp>? [02:53] then yes another sata drive with the same physical specs should work [02:53] sunice: gnomie: it has 5400 rpm, is it ok with 7200? [02:53] D_Russ, Make sure you restart samba after the change. [02:54] yup... i was gonna mention that after he changed it [02:54] sunice: what do U mean by "physical specs"? size? rpm? [02:54] KM0201, Beat you to the punch. :) [02:54] :) [02:54] afroman: you should consider battery life, higher rpm will drain battery faster [02:54] jojo_: no just set your hosts on the LAN side to DHCP [02:54] i'm trying to come up with a way to automount an encrypted (LUKS) partition on login (where the password is stored in gnome-keyring) [02:55] jojo_: I used this setup on a laptop as a wifi bridge for a long time [02:55] there used to be a program that would do it (gnome-mount), but it's no longer supported [02:55] Anyone know of a PPA that has truecrypt in it? [02:55] Xeneth: isn't that in the standard repos?

[02:57] afroman: I sent you a private conversation to answer all of you questions. [02:58] I have ubuntu running in a chroot on a hp touchpad and I want to script a command to take grabs from the camera.

[02:59] ok which one? [02:59] Xeneth: ah i see... [02:59] hmm [02:59] jojo_: section that says GUI Method via Network Manager (Ubuntu 9.10 and up) [03:00] Jokn: i wanted my connection to be like this one: http://www.somewhereville.com/?p=1196 [03:00] KM0201, a DEB repository would work too. I know truecript has a deb at their site, but no repository info.

[03:02] D_Russ: sudo service smbd restart [03:02] gnomie: about the battery drain, will the size, apart from the rpm, contribute in the draining too?

[03:04] afroman: for further information, channel ##hardware might be of more help [03:05] Can you install ubuntu on macbook pro direct to hard drive?? [03:05] updated samba with no luck. the other 2 share folders work just fine. everything is spelled and case correct. http://paste.ubuntu.com/695420/ [03:06] jojo_: Yea I read over the link, its the same thing as the documentation I provided. Did you already try with the setup you provided? [03:06] gr33n7007h, yes [03:06] gr33n7007h, what version? [03:06] D_Russ: can you see the folder, and just not write to it, or what? [03:06] what version? [03:06] yes right now im doing it [03:07] gr33n7007h, what version of ubuntu you want to install [03:07] 10.04 [03:07] gr33n7007h: hopefully this helps. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro [03:07] cheers ;) [03:08] gr33n7007h, I have a macbook and I 10.04 wasn't running good for me, it was overheating and things like that. But 11.04 works nice :) [03:08] jojo_: If you follow those instructions, it should work. Basically all you're doing is assigning a subnet to the eth1 and setting NAT via IP tables and routing via the kernel. [03:08] i can see the folder but i cant connect to it via any windows machine on my network or via network from ubuntu [03:08] i swear it has to do with the format [03:08] gr33n7007h, I suggest you ubuntu-11.04+mac (ubuntu11.04 without +mac are bricking macbooks, fixed in 11.10 beta) [03:09] D_Russ: in a terminal type cd /medi [03:09] cd /media (sorry) [03:09] Jokn: so which means i cannot share internet on those process [03:09] and hit enter [03:09] jojo_: Yes, you can share the internet. That's the whole point of what you're doing. [03:09] i'll download 11.04 then and give that a go [03:09] Jokn: after this can my computer pic up a dhcp? my client is a windows [03:09] gnomie: 2 bad #hardware isn't as helpful as this channel [03:10] :( [03:10] i have a partition on the main HD and i cant access anything via the network if its not on the ext4 portion of the drive [03:10] can u disable unity though [03:10] KM0201 ok done [03:10] jojo_: Yes, if your Ubuntu box is running dhcp daemon [03:10] KM0201: done [03:10] D_Russ: pastebin the output of ls -l [03:10] gr33n7007h, yes, you can have gnome-panels then [03:10] afroman: I will do my best to help you, but not in this channel. you'd have to talk privately. [03:10] afroman: hardware isn't the focus of this channel though [03:10] jojo_: its part of the process that you linked me to -- stem 5 and step 6 [03:10] oh good [03:10] gr33n7007h, but unity have great multi-touch support, works great on macbooks :D [03:11] Jokn: how would i know if my dhcp deamon is running [03:11] D_Russ: do you get permission denied, when you try to write to that folder(the one causing problems) [03:11] so better to keep with unity then with macbook [03:11] do you use bootcamp or revit [03:11] sunice: join afroman in channel, that'd be much more constructive [03:11] gr33n7007h, I think yes mainly because of cool multi touch in unity [03:11] gr33n7007h, and remember to download +mac if you don't want ubuntu to brick your mac [03:12] KM0201: i cant even get in when i access it via network [03:12] hang tight for pastebin [03:12] Thanks macer1 [03:12] ok [03:12] KM0201: http://paste.ubuntu.com/695422/ [03:12] jojo_: If you followed the instructions and configured it, then it should be running. You can view the lists of services running by typing "sudo service --status-all" in a terminal === Logan_ is now known as RebeccaBlack [03:13] Jokn: dhcp-server is in minus.. [03:13] gr33n7007h, I don't use refit, I use bootcamp for Windoze. I am using 11.10 beta - they added another macbook support feature so grub2 is running default when you power on mac, so no need for refit :D [03:13] KM0201: i can read write and play movies from that folder when i go there via the file system, but not via network, hell i even tried to network into the drive at root level with no luck [03:14] gr33n7007h, I don't use refit because when I run OSX too often, refit got removed from boot menu and I need to install it again. Annoying. [03:14] how i make my wlan0 load or use at boot instead lan0 [03:14] jojo_: then its not running, did you follow all of those steps you provided via that link and it didn't work or whats the problem? [03:14] can anyone point me to a working rtorrent/wtorrent install guide for 10.04 LTS? all the ones im trying dont work [03:15] D_Russ: try this..... sudo chmod 0777 "/media/Back up data/Utorrent downloads 2" [03:15] ok cheers (macer1) whats average partition size for ubuntu -- 320gb [03:15] k [03:15] how i make my wlan0 load or use at boot instead lan0? [03:15] done [03:15] ok i will restart the computer for a moment ok .. [03:15] thx every1. much appreciated. [03:16] D_Russ: now, type ls -l again [03:16] D_Russ: what does it say next to "back up data" [03:16] gr33n7007h, 10gb [03:16] gr33n7007h, first add in OSX new empty partition. Ubuntu can not modify OSX partitons in installer. Then in advanced settings of installer delete that partion and manually add partition for ubuntu and swap [03:17] ok thanks very much [03:17] KM0201: drwx------ 1 don don 32768 2011-09-22 22:09 Back up data [03:17] hmm [03:17] D_Russ: and you say thats ext4, right? [03:17] gr33n7007h, good luck with it ;) [03:18] noo [03:18] I hope he didn't restart his computer to make the dhcpd restart... [03:18] thats ntfs [03:18] cheers [03:18] oh ok. [03:18] D_Russ, It's NTFS. You may have to setup the permissions in SAMBA because NTFS has no linux permissions [03:19] Xeneth: yeah, but.. i access ntfs partitions w/ samba no problem. [03:19] i don't recall anything special [03:19] 11.04? [03:19] D_Russ: yeah [03:19] So lately, I've been having issues with my sound card. The longer my uptime is, the more static it produces, until eventually it starts jumbling everything to the point that I can't make anything out. I think that it's an issue with pulseaudio or something, because this doesn't happen in windows (at least, not that I can tell). A reboot always fixes it temporarily. Any ideas/more info needed? Please and thank you. [03:19] anyone encountered this error: No apport report written because MaxReports is reached already [03:19] KM0201, You still have the working Samba? Can you post the config file for comparison? [03:19] are you doing it from a windows box over the network? [03:20] D_Russ: i've done both. [03:20] i dont get why mine wont work then [03:20] D_Russ: i don't have windows here, but i've accessed it w/ a relatives windows box w/o a problem [03:21] Xeneth: the permisions are all set to yes on the smb.conf [03:21] D_Russ, you said you can see it, just not access it? [03:21] yes [03:21] vavoysh, try rmmod and modprobing the driver, and see if that helps [03:21] Xeneth: http://paste.ubuntu.com/695427/ [03:21] the folder shows on the network but i cant get into it [03:22] D_Russ: thats my server smb.conf [03:22] D_Russ, have you tried making that folder browsable? [03:22] Xeneth: according to his smb.conf that folder is browseable [03:22] Xeneth: how? [03:22] is there a way to tell lpr: do whatever the fuck you like, just resize this pdf until it's letter size and then print it?

[03:24] KM0201: i have a few less lines then you. does that matter [03:24] <`Immortal`> anybody here familiar with gtkPod? [03:24] i dont have users specified [03:24] D_Russ: i don't think so.... [03:24] <`Immortal`> or is there a separate channel for gtkPod? [03:25] hi guys,mi audio is now working,,it act like is it but is not sound at all [03:25] D_Russ, KM0201: The only real differance I see in the 2 are "username map = /etc/samba/smbusers [03:25] security = user" [03:25] <`Immortal`> i get a segmentation fault when i try to copy music from my 5.5G ipod to my et3 Linux partition [03:25] yeah. [03:25] yea your right. the others ones work [03:25] <`Immortal`> most are copied [03:25] but i don't thinkt hat would cause that. [03:25] not good [03:25] <`Immortal`> but around 15% [03:25] vavoysh, lsmod will list kernel modules, the ones related to sound will be snd* and you can sudo rmmod the module names you see listed there and then sudo modprobe them back [03:26] <`Immortal`> not good [03:26] <`Immortal`> :/ [03:26] D_Russ, "security = user" I think means to use linux permissions which may be why it;s having trouble with NTFS. [03:26] escott: and then once I do that, if they keep bugging out, how do I fix them? [03:27] vavoysh, i doubt its pulse, its more likely a driver issue. but if it were pulse you could just killall pulseaudio [03:27] anyone encountered this error: No apport report written because MaxReports is reached already [03:27] ok i will give it a try [03:27] and see what i get [03:27] while trying to install samba [03:27] is this a help channel ?

[03:30] vavoysh, probably only need to rmmod the one that is specific to your device, but also the modprobe will resolve dependencies so if you rmmod snd all should get removed, and if you modprobe snd_..._codec_.... all should get put back [03:30] gnomie, is 10.4 LTS [03:30] escott: Ok, thank you for the help. I will try it next time it bugs out [03:31] vavoysh, feel free to try killing pulseaudio, but i doubt thats it. if killing pulse doesn't work, and rmmod does its almost certainly a driver issue [03:31] there is no way to format without erasing the files is it? [03:32] i guessi would have to transfer them and then transfer them back [03:33] D_Russ, no, it's a completely divverant structure.

[03:41] basically it is not in the repos's [03:41] that's quite the jump from xfce to gnome3, i predict many issues [03:41] MamiCute, your drivers are certainly loaded so ake sure that nothing is muted in alsamixer, and that the sound output is going to the speakers and not the hdmi. if its still not working http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Help_To_Debug_Intel_HDA [03:43] Xeneth: i cant find the one that is active is it toward the bottom? i see that line sever times with no # or : in front of it.

[03:49] !gnome3 | Josesordo [03:49] Josesordo: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and cannot be downgraded safely. [03:49] escott, i upload a pulse autio file and i get this = http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=77066d443c041bfc395320574f258b323cd6a44c [03:49] Xeneth: http://paste.ubuntu.com/695433/ === Auriel__ is now known as Auriel [03:49] not having any luck with that either. [03:50] is telling me that esd is not running [03:50] is that for sound also ? [03:50] MamiCute, esd is the enlightenment sound daemon, pulseaudio replaces it [03:50] ok [03:52] D_Russ, ok, You can uncomment it then. I am stumped. It's been some time since I messed with Samba, so I am stumped without getting on your machine myself. You can see it so Samba is sharing it. [03:52] MamiCute, if its not a muting issue, and its not a sound being send to hdmi issue, then its probably a pin issue. check if there is an appropriate module parameter listed here http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-kernel.git;a=blob;f=Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio-Models.txt;hb=HEAD or try the hda-analyzer tool here http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/HDA_Analyzer [03:52] D_Russ, Are you trying to get to it as guessed? [03:52] <_Python> hi [03:53] <_Python> Anyone there? [03:53] Well, thanks for the info, escott :) Gonna give it a shot [03:53] not quite sure what that means [03:53] i just want it connect to my wired network [03:53] all ethernet [03:54] <_Python> i happened to notice an article about Windows8 a threat to linux [03:54] <_Python> ?? [03:54] <_Python> CRAP! [03:54] heh [03:54] pleez [03:54] <_Python> im serious [03:55] <_Python> but not a fan of windows!! [03:55] !ot [03:55] #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! [03:55] ugh bbl [03:55] win8 is a flail against apple [03:55] D_Russ, I mean the innitial connection is whatever you have you XP username unless changed. If no match, you are a guest. Are you putting in a rusername differant then your XP username? [03:56] how to install iTunes on ubuntu.. anyone?? [03:57] not entering a user name [03:57] its not asking [03:57] D_Russ, is your XP usernamt and pass the same as you ubuntu user and pass? [03:57] LOL I need sleep soon me no type good [03:57] no, but the other machine is win7 [03:58] iAmGod, if you want to purchase music you can try wine, or a virtualmachine. if you want to connect to the ipod most of the music players have support for some devices [03:58] D_Russ, and it's having the same issue? [03:59] no the win 7 machine can connect with the other windows machines in the house just fine [03:59] escott.. oh.. [03:59] so mean of Apple.. [03:59] and only a few folders on the ubuntu one [03:59] the ones that i dont need lol [03:59] D_Russ, I mean can the windows 7 box connect to the Samba share? [03:59] escott, have you used mono?? C# on ubuntu.? [04:00] yes the 2 shares that are on the ext4 partition of the main HD [04:00] but the the second drive is ntfs and it will not connect to that [04:00] iAmGod, no [04:01] anyone has good articles on linux kernel programming? [04:01] hd: high definition | hdd: hard drive disk [04:01] can someone help me write a windows 7 iso to a usb drive without using unetbootin (which isnt working, wont even list the usb drives) [04:01] I mean with some kinda example [04:01] D_Russ, So same issue. What I think is happening is Authentication is failing when connecting to your Samba shares, so they log in as guest. [04:01] and i have th latest version of unetbootin [04:01] g/f needs it for school [04:01] iAmGod: There are probably some if you google.. [04:02] jdm: /join ##windows [04:02] iAmGod: What are you wanting to do exactly? [04:02] iAmGod, kernelnewbies [04:02] D_Russ, Want to know what happens if you log into Samba using the Ubuntu username and pass. [04:02] xangua, im in linux dude [04:02] xangua, i need to create a bootable windows 7 usb from ubuntu [04:02] wubi.exe is all you need jdm [04:02] see /topic [04:02] wubi? [04:02] jdm, the relevent details are still windows specific [04:02] soreau, I havent done any sort of kernel programming... fed up with web programming and stuffs!! [04:02] jdm, thumb NTFS boot flag, and extract to it. [04:02] wubi.exe [04:02] D_Russ, I may not be explaining it well. [04:03] Xeneth: no, not all of the samba shares are failing. only the samba shares that are on the second HDD (thanks gnomie) that is in ntfs on the ubuntu box. [04:03] cache_surplus: read before answer ;) [04:03] iAmGod: Oh yea, web programming sucks. I'd rather do mind boggling C/C++ ;) [04:03] why [04:03] great soreau.. i realized in the end... [04:03] jdb, this works as well. http://liveusb.info/dotclear/ === JasonMovie is now known as Jasonn [04:04] <_cb> What is a good chanel to have a discussion on secure access to the internet? [04:04] anyone encountered this error: No apport report written because MaxReports is reached already? [04:04] #wikileaks [04:04] iAmGod: But you should find something you want to do, and then look into it. The easiest entry level from my experiences is module/driver programming [04:04] jdm, http://liveusb.info/dotclear/ this works to. [04:04] iAmGod: There is also #kernel on this network [04:04] oh wow.. thats great.. [04:04] D_Russ correct, NTFS permissions are different from EXT4, so guest may not be getting access to it. [04:04] urlin2u: read befor answer too ;) [04:04] jdm: so why do you need a w7 boot disk again? [04:04] soreau.. i was into much of the ASP.NET and other stuffs [04:05] D_Russ, I'm just looking for a way to test that. [04:05] ... [04:05] soreau got frustrated with windows recently.. hence started with linux!! :) [04:05] waits briefly... [04:05] iAmGod: Like I said, find something useful you want to do/fix and start hacking [04:06] ok [04:06] cache_surplus, girlfriend's computer for school [04:06] and.. [04:06] cache_surplus, her hard drive crashed yesterday [04:06] urlin2u, thank you [04:06] bought her a new one [04:06] and... [04:07] how does ubuntu fit in ? [04:07] i said use wubi.exe for a reason... it will recognize your failed doze drive if possible... [04:08] urlin2u, why is it downloading so many packages? [04:08] yea [04:08] jdm, this is off topic for this channel I can't really say any more. [04:09] why is it downloading Seabios [04:09] ... [04:09] D_Russ, You know how to map a drive in XP? [04:11] Xeneth: no i dont think so. How do you do it in windows 7? thats what the other windows boxes are all win7 [04:11] going to get this shit off both computers [04:11] going back to mac jdm? [04:12] cache_surplus, windows on both [04:12] yah, good move, i gave up on doze computing years ago [04:12] cache_surplus, kubuntu on the desktop, windows on the netbook [04:12] havent had the urge to go back even once [04:12] i just moved so my tower is in its box [04:12] just load gnome desktop and enjoy. [04:13] either ubuntu or any linux for that matter [04:13] keep it simple, i you want to get hardcore, you always have the shell [04:13] D_Russ, Go to command Prompt [04:14] whats the command? [04:16] cache_surplus: i like ubuntu 11.04 i just wish it was completely bug free, i have 2 bugs that i cant kill yet. but i do emember spending hours trying to get things to work right on windows aswell. [04:16] i will never use the unity desktop [04:16] unity is not one of my bugs [04:16] i never will dual boot either [04:17] jdb: sick of unity? [04:17] D_Russ: which bugs? [04:17] why is that cache? [04:17] D_Russ, Start > Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt [04:18] Shirakawasuna: 3-5 minutes before my mouse or keyboard works after a restart [04:18] D_Russ, Then Type "net use z: \\\ \user:@ " filling in the correct info [04:18] Xeneth: im in command prompt [04:18] Hopefully it will ask for your password [04:19] man [04:19] i have to look all that stuff up [04:19] D_Russ: have you tried making your own xorg.conf (with no hotplugging)? [04:19] no [04:20] D_Russ, LOL yea, one reason I dislike windos command prompt. There are I think 5 different kind of switches [04:20] if it has something to do w/ evdev hotplugging, your own xorg.conf w/ explicit keyboard and mouse entires might fix it [04:20] Shirakawasuna: i dont know how to modify or access the xorg file [04:21] Xeneth: thank you so much for your help. [04:21] if i threw an iso in my usb and booted up would it bootup properly or would i have to use a program to extract it? [04:21] i am going to have to revisit this networking problem anotherday [04:22] D_Russ, NP, I'm more into it out of curiosity at this point. :P [04:22] you on often? [04:22] D_Russ, here and there. Less nex week when class starts up agian [04:22] yea, I need sleep. :P [04:23] D_Russ: mostly from here down: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg#Disabling_Input_Hot-plugging [04:24] Xeneth: i will try and catch you online and maybe we can kill this networking bug. then or if i find a solution i will let you know === david__ is now known as psycose [04:24] D_Russ: the xorg.conf is the configuration for X.Org, which is the service on which all of the graphics you are currently viewing is built. This includes keyboard and mouse input into X. [04:24] D_Russ, NP GL [04:24] D_Russ: by default, it's minimal/nonexistent as the default hotplugging methods work, but if you write your own you can override those defaults. [04:25] Shirakawasuna: thank you, i am going to have a look at that [04:25] is there anyway to capture live streaming video in ubuntu === Timic_ is now known as Timic [04:25] friggen crap, file splicing file too large? [04:25] u know a terminal propmpt? [04:25] nautilus crap [04:27] Shirakawasuna: will this effect a KVM? [04:28] D_Russ: I think it'll probably be fine. If you set it up right (basically, just include keyboard and mouse entries alone and a couple master settings) it should only modify input device settings, which are pretty standard, leaving things like graphics alone [04:29] D_Russ: breaking X is always a risk, though, so make sure you know how to ctrl+alt+F2 and do things from a console. Primarily sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak and sudo reboot [04:30] im a newbie [04:30] anyone know how to make user-specific disk space limits without making partitions in a user friendly way? [04:30] this is not a good idea for me then [04:30] anyone know how to make user-specific disk space limits without making partitions in a user friendly way? <-- for ubuntu server, that is [04:30] mkfs === Timic_ is now known as Timic [04:31] nac-godfather: that for me? [04:31] I believe that's the tool [04:32] mkfs vfat 16 etc. (would have to look it up myself) [04:32] But I want a user-friendly way of doing it [04:32] and I am not going into virtualization atm [04:33] "without" was what you said [04:33] figuring you meant no gui [04:34] nac-godfather, he said server so likely cli only [04:34] I'm not sure how to set limits on disk space per user [04:34] sorry [04:34] Jasonn, the package quota should be able to < http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/quota [04:35] OerHeks: on ubuntu server? [04:36] go back to using windows if that's how you wanna run things :) [04:36] hey this is really basic here, but I cant seem to get my asus a8n32 sli to load from the boot disc [04:36] is this the right forum to address this basic quirey :] [04:37] frint: I'm sure it's fine, especially if it's an ubuntu disc [04:37] frint: have you ever modified the BIOS settings on a computer before? [04:37] no [04:37] I think i might have to move the jumper to clear right? [04:38] then start over/>? [04:38] frint: not sure about that. I think more likely you need to either modify your boot priority in the bios to include your CD drive and/or figure out the hotkey for selecting boot devices during POST. [04:38] it is my own home made 11.04 disc [04:39] the second part i dont get [04:39] the first part ive already dun [04:39] Frint: don't reset it, just change boot priority, some BIOS will have a hotkey built in for post [04:39] frint: basically, when your computer starts it flashes the ASUS logo, yes? At that point (POST) you can press one key to get to the bios, and sometimes another to be able to select what device (e.g. cd drive) you boot from [04:39] frint, it comes up at same time as option to get into bios. [04:39] frint: the keys are usually f1, f2, (...), f12, or delete [04:40] I believe for Asus F10 or 12 is the boot menu [04:40] f12 on my asus [04:40] yeah been there but dont know how to navigate that menu [04:40] but, booting from cd is usually the first boot option [04:40] hi [04:40] How do I stop the default VNC server of Ubuntu via CLI? [04:41] depends on what vnc service is called. [04:41] yeah ive alowed the pc to go to cd first it just doesn't recognise the 11.04 as a boot disc [04:41] check /etc/init.d/ [04:41] frint: in the BIOS settings navigation is up/down/left/right keys, enter, escape, and some of the F# keys. In the boot device dialog, it's usually the up/down keys and enter. [04:41] frint did you burn it as an image? [04:41] frint, sounds like a bad burn them [04:41] frint: burn a new one [04:41] frint: so can you make other CDs boot? [04:42] ok lets start with that how to get the propper burn [04:42] do i drag the iso to nero lite [04:42] or is that not good enough [04:42] no, you need to find a burning program that has the option to burn the iso as an image [04:42] thats what i did [04:42] data doesn't work [04:42] ok [04:42] right click on downloaded .iso, select to burn [04:43] frint, what os you have? [04:43] unless you customize it and add isolinux and a bunch of other stuff you don't need to know yet [04:43] xp sp3 [04:43] my dvd not boot linux install from dvd why ? [04:43] from cd is ok [04:43] probably same issue as frint [04:43] frint, CDBurnterXP is a good free one. [04:44] piratebay is a good resource for anything [04:44] is that with the os stuff? [04:44] x [04:44] frint, no, you will need to download it, but it's easy and free [04:44] cnet? === Guest33600 is now known as away123 [04:45] .............................from cnet? [04:45] http://cdburnerxp.se/en/home [04:45] k [04:45] there should be an option within nero, i've found it in most versions [04:45] !iso | frint [04:45] frint: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [04:45] never used nero [04:45] frint: nero should be able to burn an iso image [04:46] frint: you just need to make sure it's attempting to burn it as an image rather than the data file [04:46] !burning | frint [04:46] frint: CD/DVD burning software: k3b (KDE), brasero (GNOME), gnomebaker, xcdroast, wodim (command-line) | To burn ISO files, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [04:46] where do i get md5 never heard of it [04:46] don't worry about that [04:46] just burn it as an image dude [04:46] yeah nero lite only has option to burn data [04:46] ah [04:47] but, you are trying to burn .iso in windows. so ##windows should be of more help [04:47] frint: in the past I have used this when I only have windows available and need to burn an image: http://www.deepburner.com/?r=download [04:47] frint: the free version, of course, don't pay for the pro version. [04:48] Ill use the xeneth way first and get back to ya then Ill try the shirack download [04:48] LOL pay for software. ... funny [04:49] anyone know why kubuntu icons force their way into lucid? [04:49] I'm controlling a VNC session through RDP (xrdp) remotely. How do I force a change in resolution to one not listed? [04:50] is k3b installed, lafon? [04:51] looks like it === soreau_ is now known as soreau [04:54] thanks all [04:54] There is a lot of activity, but little chatting [04:54] frint, so it worked? === soreau_ is now known as soreau [04:55] well am burning image right now [04:55] flawless install [04:55] frint: Which image? [04:55] see how it loads 11.04 [04:55] 64bit [04:55] frint, Glad to hear. That was a program I liked back before I know of all this open source fun. === Kasjopaja23111 is now known as Kasjopaja === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest35639 [04:58] are you all dipped in gnomewear..... all gladly gnomafied? [04:58] I am still using 10.04, so yes. :) [04:58] are you all deep into the linix way? [04:58] frint: yup [04:58] just want to know how far i can go with this path [04:59] I'm using xfce right now though, no gnome :) [04:59] frint, still a newb, so not an expert, but have the bible on order and going to be studing. [04:59] halelujah [04:59] gl xe [05:00] hi [05:00] how stable is the 11.04 is it solid? [05:00] frint: I think it's pretty solid [05:00] oxidizer, how. [05:00] i got a question guys [05:01] i dont know [05:01] frint: if there's issues, it's mostly due to particular hardware conflicts, which hopefully you won't have. I think asus computers tend to be pretty friendly with linux. [05:01] frint, I have it on my other PC, no issues on that. I had trouble with it on my laptop. [05:01] oxidizer: wat [05:01] whenever you enter a command and you do it incorrectly...and it puts the cursor to the next line...how do you either 'finish the command' or exit out of it [05:01] k1dd1saster: ctrl+c [05:01] k1dd1saster: or type 'done' [05:01] asus computers = priest, linux = alterboys [05:02] no in linux terminal [05:02] k1dd1saster: that's what I mean [05:02] like type 'sort -d' ...it puts the cursor to the next line...ctrl d or done doesnt work... [05:02] k1dd1saster: type 'sort -d' [05:02] i run into this problem all the time and have to close and reopn new terminal... [05:02] k1dd1saster: then ctrl+c [05:02] ctrl + C [05:02] oh ctrl shift c works [05:03] thank you! [05:03] ah [05:03] you must have a unique terminal emulator [05:03] np :) [05:03] im using ubuntu 11.04 terminal... [05:04] k1dd1saster, I heard kicking the box works too. :P [05:04] hmm [05:04] not really, i have to use ctrl+shift+v to paste to terminal on 11.04 too [05:04] gnomie: that's normal [05:04] that's what i mean [05:04] ctrl+shift+c is normally 'copy', as ctrl+c is too important [05:05] How do I add a 1920x1080 baseline to my xorg.conf? [05:05] ohhh i changed ctrl c to copy...that must have messed with it [05:05] how do i make a iso work on my usb when i boot up from it? === root is now known as Guest94688 [05:05] k1dd1saster: yup! :) [05:05] you said 01:03 < Shirakawasuna> you must have a unique terminal emulator [05:05] root, do you want to boot from a usb? [05:05] which isn't all that unique, since it's normal [05:05] lafon: yes [05:05] is there a script to cut out the noise on a channel...like the 'blah blah has quit...' [05:06] Guest92795, you in ubuntu already? [05:06] trying to have a conversation is impossible... [05:06] gnomie: no, it's reversed. k1dd1saster used ctrl+shift+c to interrupt a process and (presumably) ctrl+c to copy === Guest94688 is now known as osso [05:06] Guestj94688 [05:06] lafon: yes, im trying to boot from a USB [05:06] k1dd1saster: it depends on which program you are using, but you can usually find a configuration in the preferences that lets you ignore join/part messages [05:06] Are you in Ubuntu already? [05:07] Xeneth: yes [05:07] Xeneth: im trying to create a Win7 Repair disc and its currently an .ISO [05:08] osso, then you can go upto system > startup disk creator. Just point to your usb [05:08] osso, just choose the correct ISO [05:09] startup disc creator wont work [05:09] so anyone figure out why kubuntu forces its icons to gnome in lucid? [05:09] he should do that from windows anyway [05:10] gnomie: i cant boot into windows, that's why im creating a win7 repair disc so i can fix the MBR [05:10] lafon, how much of kde do you have installed? [05:11] urlin2u: I used the meta KDE from synaptic [05:11] osso, if creator willnot work, you may have to put it on CD until you get windows working. [05:11] osso, make the thumb a NTFS partition, out a boot flag on it all in gparted and extract the ISO to it with the file roller. [05:11] out-put* [05:12] lafon, when you have n=both they share apps. [05:12] any one here im having a problem sharing internet my windows client cannot ping or pullup website i follow the configuration in help.ubuntu.com [05:13] both* [05:13] osso your windows provider has its own tool to put win7 on an usbstick [05:13] urlin2u: how would i fix that though? [05:13] OerHeks: yes, but i cannot acces my Win7... so how would i create that lol [05:14] lafon, not sure really. [05:14] any one here im having a problem sharing internet my windows client cannot ping or pullup website i follow the configuration in help.ubuntu.com [05:14] osso, follow my instructions, and you will have a bootable recovery disc. [05:14] on the thumb [05:15] so im using irssi ...is there a way i can scroll up? [05:15] pg up [05:15] I find it strange that the startup disk creator doesn't work with win7. i did it once and it was fine [05:15] internet sharing problem here [05:15] urlin2u: extract the ISO to it with the file roller; -how? [05:15] any one here im having a problem sharing internet my windows client cannot ping or pullup website i follow the configuration in help.ubuntu.com [05:15] any one here im having a problem sharing internet my windows client cannot ping or pullup website i follow the configuration in help.ubuntu.com [05:16] osso, hit extract, it ask where point it to the thumb. [05:16] jojo_, Don't want to copy and paste like that. I know theory, but not iptables [05:16] OMFG, I love it. [05:16] My Weechat!!! [05:16] Then what should i do [05:16] osso, if you click on the iso it opens a extractor. [05:17] no one ans me [05:18] osso, it opens the archive manager [05:18] jojo_: you still on that? [05:18] jojo_, ask and continue research. There may not be someone on who knows that. I could tell you what is needed, but not how to set it up. [05:19] urlin2u: okay got it; so now just reboot into USB? [05:19] oo that will be fine. what is needed [05:19] jojo_: %System32%\ping.exe [05:19] osso, did you format the thumb to NTFS and put a bootflag on it? [05:19] jojo_, You using 2 ethernets? [05:19] aw. im not using windows.... im using ubunt 10.04 [05:20] yes ive installed that [05:20] whois === k1dd1saster is now known as KidC11 [05:21] jojo_, ok, You need to setup DHCP on the one going to your other PC's. Then setup iptables to be a NAT wit port translation. [05:21] yo [05:22] my client is able to acquire address by DHCP, idont know about the ip tables [05:22] jojo_, not sure of the command, but you should be able to look at the routing tables of iptables. [05:22] I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the best Dreamweaver-like software is for Linux [05:24] like route -n command? [05:24] vim [05:24] jojo_, like I said, I know what needs to be done, but without the commands, it dosn't do much good. I know how to do it on a CISCO, not linux. I did fumble thrue it once though. [05:26] Sorry to ask again but does anyone have suggestions for a Dreamweaver-like program for Linux? [05:26] jojo_, Try http://www.server-servers.com/ubuntu-router-network-gateway/ [05:26] i made a mouse theme but it wont show up where u change the mouse pointer (change background,theme,pointer tab) any idea why? it works if i change the default theme file [05:27] ok will try that [05:31] go to http://gnome-look.org/ its called Envy [05:31] hi guyss [05:32] i have a big problem with CUT command [05:32] can somebody try ti help me? [05:32] whats it doin? [05:33] somebody here? [05:33] join #nautilus [05:33] NoN: just ask [05:33] NoN, whats it doin? [05:33] alright [05:34] i'm trying to do: cat file.txt | cut -d',' -f$var [05:34] where $var is "1,2,3" [05:35] beyond me, idont script much [05:35] it works when i write in console: var="1,2,3" [05:36] but when I read "1,2,3" from a file and I save it in the variable var, it doesn;t work, the cut command doesnt recognize the sintaxis [05:37] NoN: in which language? [05:37] did i explain good? [05:37] sh [05:37] NoN: have you asked in #bash too? [05:38] NoN: I dont immediately.. I would try "od"ing the vars.. but the guys in #bash would prob ably know straight away [05:38] thanks i didn't know about this channel [05:38] thank you so much [05:39] I can't help much myself. My bash-fu is yellow belt on a good day [05:39] NoN: I would check for escape chrs in the var [05:40] i was thinking about that [05:40] SIFTU [05:40] NoN: probably a \n or something on the end of the one you read in [05:40] NoN: which is why I suggested using "od" to debug. [05:40] how do I fix my mouse scrolling [05:41] sometimes it scrolls horizontally instead of vertical [05:41] it's a touchpad on a lenovo [05:41] mmm [05:41] i'm using a vbox [05:41] i havent' heard about 'od', what is it? [05:41] NoN: octal dump [05:41] SIFTU: i havent' heard about 'od', what is it? [05:42] NoN: var="1,2,3" && echo $var|od -c [05:42] it's a command? [05:42] ok [05:43] cypha: did you install the guest additions? Are you fully updated? [05:43] ActionParsnip, yes sir [05:43] NoN: compare your manual assignement to the one you read in [05:43] ActionParsnip: Goodmorning [05:43] cypha: cool. What is the output of: lsb_release -sc [05:44] paulus68: morning to you sir [05:45] ActionParsnip: Is there to your knowledge a way to give a higher priority to a data transfer from 1 computer to another through scp? [05:45] SIFTU: When i compare the output is exactly the same [05:45] now [05:45] ActionParsnip: lsb_release -sc will output the codename [05:46] maybe what i will say now is important [05:46] NoN: ok.. are you running both under sh? [05:46] no, no its bash [05:46] iWang: that's correct [05:46] this problem is in the terminal of my job [05:47] i just tried here in my house and it works [05:47] paulus68: possibly set a higher nice value on the system you want slower. You network hardware (router in most cases) may have some network shaping abilities. [05:47] ActionParsnip, natty [05:47] could it be the version of bash? or kernel? [05:48] NoN: you #!/bin/bash at the top? [05:48] yess [05:48] mmm, i dont think is the version [05:48] Cypha: are there any mouse settings in the config of the virtualbox? It will need powering off to be changed [05:48] the variable manually assigned and the read one shows the same content [05:49] NoN: ask the guys in #bash they are extreamly sharp on these things [05:49] hehe ok thanks for heelping [05:49] paulus68, maybe "nice - run a program with modified scheduling priority" [man nice] [05:49] ActionParsnip, there aren't [05:49] rumpel_: thanks [05:51] paulus68, what exactly do you want to achieve? faster transfers? [05:51] hi friends! /etc/init.d questions [05:51] how can i some program to include swtiches when i run "start" or "restart" [05:51] uw_, ok, i start: what is /etc/init.d used for? :D [05:52] Anyone having problems with firefox 6 besides me [05:52] rumpel_: yes since for instance yesterday I had a transfer of 500mb from the pc at work towards home and it just went over 20K per sec while I can download from my server at 3mb per sec [05:52] rumpel_, lol ummm well lets say im more of a question-asker than an answer-knower [05:53] i think it stores scripts for starting/stopping etc stuff at boot, shutdown, and other runlevels? [05:54] hi there folks [05:54] help :) [05:54] i have ati radeon HD 5800 Series [05:54] need to urgently copy over an itunes directory , but JUST the differences [05:55] is there anyone who can help me ? [05:55] uw_, you want to create a custom script in init.d, which reacts to start or restart? Just browse through the other scripts in there and use them as a template. it's not very complicated. [05:55] paulus68, ok... then scheduling priorities won't help you much. [05:55] Hi. Small software question: I'm currently using audacious2 for several reasons: it's lightweight, it supports .cue files for .flacs (all my music collection is in .flac so this is a must), it has track level replay gain adjustment, in general, it can play nearly every audio format I throw at it and most importantly: It does not screw my folders organization by trying offering me a meta-tag based hierarchy like that godforsaken [05:55] banshee. My only problem with audacious so far, is a long withstanding bug with audio buffering while using the pulseaudio output plugin (this is especially a problem for me since I stream from a samba share). Any suggestion on what I can use as a replacement? (read: no meta-tag based player, lightweight, good .cue & .flac support, solid audio buffering, and hopefully highly customizable) [05:55] i want to set my display to gray scale is it possible? [05:56] sim-paf I think it is with compiz-fusion. [05:56] Strav:wot is that? [05:56] uw_, yes [05:57] rumpel_, thank you for answering well see there is one i would like to edit (add a "-f 100" and "-L") but i dont see where i could put these parameters in [05:57] uw_, read some of the scripts and you will see, how it works. [05:57] rumpel_, because there are other parameters that are including at start/restart, but i dont see where they come from? [05:57] ok i will look at others === a is now known as Guest92818 [05:58] sim-paf: it's the compositing manager that now comes by default with ubuntu. It's responsible for most of the effects on your desktop. [05:59] paulus68, do you have higher rates, if you download from other servers? other locations? [05:59] sim-paf: let me take a quick look if it's possible, I remember seeing something like that a while ago. [05:59] ohk [05:59] rumpel_: I noticed it just doing a file transfer from this pc(at work) towards my server [06:00] sim-paf: yes, if you install compiz settings manager, you'll have in it something called Color filters, there you can set your screen to be greyscale. [06:00] sim-paf: just google for compiz settings manager you'll have some nice directions. [06:03] So, any good alternatives to audacious2? [06:03] uw_, so you want to add more optional arguments like "sudo service foobar -verbose -debug ..."? [06:03] Strav: ohk thanks [06:03] is anyone using irssi?!?!?! [06:03] KidC11: plenty of people [06:04] is there a way to scroll up?! [06:04] pg up [06:04] KidC11: page-up. or alt-p (alt-n is down) [06:04] or, #irssi for other values of 'more info' [06:04] rumpel_, yes. when i do "/etc/init.d/something start" it runs "/bin/something -a -b -c" [06:05] rumpel_, i would like it to do "/bin/something -a -b -c -d -e -f -g" [06:05] uw_, ah... so with fixed argument? (always -a -b -c when started) [06:06] rumpel_, correct, the parameters that it already is using PLUS 2 other ones [06:06] hello :) After a couple of years of using Ubuntu, this is the first time I have a "problem" with it. I would need to install Dosbox on a computer with no Internet connection, but I can't figure out how to download all the packages necessary for it to work... [06:07] uw_, 'case "$1" in \n start) /bin/something -a -b -c ;; ...' [06:07] grub_seeker, is this for a custom install disk? [06:07] I have downloaded dosbox_0.74-1_i386.deb package, the problem is that it has dependencies [06:08] uw_: no, standard install [06:08] grub_seeker, so what you want to put in on an usbdrive and go to the other computer? [06:08] Ubuntu is already installed there, and working great, we just need Dosbox added [06:08] grub_seeker: can you use gdebi? [06:08] uw_: yes :) [06:08] i don't know what it is [06:08] dpkg -i will not manage the deps, gdebit will. [06:08] gedbi [06:09] gdebi [06:09] argh [06:09] Strav: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:09] uw_, just add it to the command call in the start-section of the case-structure [06:09] uw_, but usually such things are configured elsewhere, btw. [06:09] grub_seeker: if you go to synaptic, you can create a package download script that downloads all the dependencies you need [06:09] Strav: so I just need to download that gdebi program? [06:09] I think it's installed by default on ubuntu. [06:09] grub_seeker: you need to first select the packages you need and then it will create a script you can use when you are at a machine that has internet [06:10] grub_seeker: otherwise, apt-get install gdebi [06:10] grub_seeker, using apt you can get those dependices and put them on the drive, then include that drive in your repositiories [06:10] Myrtti: so I have to create the script on the machine without internet, transfer it to the one that has it, and then download? [06:10] grub_seeker: basically yes. [06:10] I am using bluetooth dialup [06:10] i will help you in a little bit rumpel_ is helping me now one sec [06:11] But I am having problem while disconnectiing it [06:11] Hi [06:11] uw_: thanks :) , I would like to try your method right now [06:11] It does not disconnect well, my dial up connection [06:11] grub_seeker: ah didn't figured you didn't had internet access on the other machine. Sorry I'm kinda distracted atm. [06:12] I also tried Blueman but no success [06:12] Strav: it's ok, you guys are helping in an awesome way :D [06:12] It doesn't integrate well with Network manager [06:12] I am getting a unknown file system grub recue error when I am booting after I had to do cold restart when the ubuntu 11.04 froze while on previous boot [06:12] Myrtti: I'll first try using apt in the way uw suggested, then if it doesn't work I'll try your method [06:13] Infact I am using latest version of all of above [06:13] Myrtti: and THANKS :D [06:13] I have checked on the forums but I am not able to get it to work [06:13] grub_seeker, do the two machines have the same ubuntu-version? also both 32bit/64bit? === haji is now known as Guest1910 [06:13] Any body here who can help me [06:13] grub_seeker, if there are differences, that would be very relevant [06:13] rumpel_: version yea, but I'm not sure about architecture [06:14] gotta go. cya all. [06:14] rumpel_, i dont see where it is getting those parameters from http://pastebin.com/DkDsJV5N [06:14] mine is 64bit, but the one that needs dosbox I'm not sure is it 32bit or 64bit === Guest1910 is now known as mogg [06:14] grub_seeker: what Synaptic does is it just makes a list of wget commands, and it does take the architecture in to account :-) [06:15] What does import OS command do? [06:15] IN python [06:16] :-[ [06:16] surround: totally wrong channel but it loads the "OS" module which has many OS related objects in it [06:16] surround: #python is where you want to go [06:17] grub_seeker, you can check on cli with 'uname -m' [06:17] SIFTU: Thanks [06:17] rumpel_, btw, here is what IS running when i issues restart http://pastebin.com/3XYJ2KbQ [06:17] Is there a way I can get a different background for each workspace I'm on? I'm running 10.04 [06:18] gh0st: Compiz wallpaper plugin can do it [06:18] uw_, i will have a look but it takes a long time (very slow connection to pastebin) [06:18] gh0st: of course that means you'll lose your desktop icons [06:19] rumpel_: thanks, great. I'll check it as soon as I get there, the said computer is at work... and we don't have the internet, so that the users wouldn't waste time [06:19] uw_, and i wouldn't recommend ftp [06:19] grub_seeker, most simple way would be to temporarily activate internet, if it's possible. [06:19] Hi guys, i'm trying to open MMS live stream in VLC, totem, rhythmbox... and it doesnt open. I think it could be proxy - can you try if it opens for you? mms://live2.infonetmedia.si/radio1 [06:19] thank you rumpel_ whenever you can i really appreciate your time [06:20] rumpel_, but why not sftp or ftp? [06:20] How do I re-arraign icons in unity-2D The left side icons that sits on the black tray? [06:21] $h1t :s [06:21] uw_, http://mywiki.wooledge.org/FtpMustDie [06:21] rumpel_: We normally don't need the internet at work at all, so we never got it. It's just this time that we need to use our old licensed DOS program that does great job at calculating certain things [06:22] and we don't have a real IT guy, it's a small mostly family business [06:22] vlc [06:22] err [06:22] *fail* [06:24] Ubuntu 11.10 comes with Gnome 3? [06:25] thrillERboy: #ubuntu+1 for oneiric discussion and support, but yes, it will. [06:25] Thanks rww :) === MoMo____ is now known as MoMo [06:27] Myrtti: can you help me a bit on how to use Synaptic to do what you suggested? [06:27] uw_, "start-stop-daemon" seems to execute $WRAPPER, which is the string '/usr/sbin/pure/ftpd-wrapper', which sounds like another script for ftpd. I guess you could add your additional arguments there. [06:27] so when I run Synaptic, I type dosbox in search filter [06:28] then what? [06:28] there is a "generate download script" under file, but will it automatically add dependencies? [06:29] grub_seeker: mark dosbox as installable, then generate script [06:29] uw_, ah... man start-stop-daemon: ... any additional argument after -- will be added to the command call [06:30] Myrtti: huh, that's a lot easier than I thought it would be. Thabks a lot :D [06:30] *thanks [06:31] grub_seeker, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Synaptic/PackageDownloadScript#Generate_Script [06:32] Whats the best test for web browsers? Sunspider, Acid Test, or Javascript? [06:33] grub_seeker, but remember that this only downloads packages for one specific ubuntu version. [06:33] rumpel_: yup, that confirms it, you guys are awesome! Thanks a lot for everything, now I need to go to work and do these things. [06:34] rumpel_: it's not a problem, we need it only on one specific computer, to calculate some messy economics things [06:34] and we had an old program that does the job perfectly, which now we can use (it works great in dosbox) [06:35] grub_seeker, no... i meant: for one specific ubuntu version which is the _same_ as the one, you generated the script from [06:35] anyways, talk to you guys later. Bye :) [06:35] oh [06:35] rumpel_: even better :) [06:35] bye now [06:38] who can help me ? I want to compilation qt applications with static. please give me a web address === eyes_ is now known as EyesIsServer [06:38] Was bedeutet diese Antwort: '~$ sudo dhclient eth0; RTNETLINK answers: File exists.'?

[06:43] 大家好 [06:43] !cn | sheng [06:43] sheng: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [06:44] thanks [06:44] urlin2u: Before you are shouting at you better read what he has written before in this channel and answer to that. [06:45] bullgard4, I did and I wasn't shouting. [06:46] bullgard4, if what he did bothered you, i'd suggest decaf.... [06:46] bullgard4, ya well i figured that. are you reading it in a configuration file or is " File exists." what it is saying when you issue "sudo dhclient eth0" [06:49] bullgard4: typ "ifconfig -a" === Timic_ is now known as Timic [06:50] Hi! Have a problem! [06:50] teenboy: just ask, and if someone can help, they will [06:53] rumpel_, thank you again for your help. i bootlegged it in there and it seems to work now. what would you recommend instead of FTP? (that is similar for dropping off and getting files easily) [06:54] ikonia shanks) Problem with saving and opening of documents in LibreOffice 3.3.3. Its takes too long time(15sec) [06:54] teenboy: no idea why that is.

[06:55] also loggin sound even i set it right after i use normal visul effect\ [06:56] but i can still listen music,so i think it is not my sound card problem [06:57] uw_, i usually use ssh because it's secure, easy to configure and is sufficient for my needs. You can also "mount" network-directories with sshfs. Or there is nfs or other alternatives. [06:57] it work right when i input password for loggin.but wrong after loading system [06:58] teenboy, you can adjust libreoffice to open a bit faster, take a look here, I don't use the quick start, although it is ticked in the picture. http://imagebin.org/173640 [06:59] I don't use this. Also I turn off java( problem still active( [07:01] teenboy, if you open tools options you wil lnotice the stock is different then the image I posted [07:01] do you know a channel about FTP?

[07:09] yes [07:09] what program is for system bell? [07:09] urlin2u: and do you get the os picker interface to show up correctly? [07:10] I have Windows 7 Installed, with Ubuntu installed over it ( so grub goes into Win7 boot loader), and I just installed the developer preview, and now I go straight into windows 8 only. [07:10] rpk, you mean the grub menu? have you run sudo update-grub it shows as a recovery naming the partition but I have W7 as well. [07:11] On another machine with just Win 7 installed, it correctly found Win 7 and listed it as an option [07:11] quit [07:11] urlin2u: no I mean the windows 8 OS picker [07:12] rpk, 8 jsut showed up in the grub menu for me when I look at the bootscript it just shows the same boot files as windows 7 [07:12] W8/just [07:13] urlin2u: so you installed ubuntu / linux after Windows 8? [07:14] rpk, no, [07:15] rpk, pastebin the RESULTS.txt from running the bootscript. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ [07:17] rpk, I also installed both W7 and W8 specifically without their boot partition with custom installs. [07:17] urlin2u: ah ok. I'm trying to preserve the Windows 8 boot loader. [07:18] (was confused since Windows 8 during normal install will set itself as the drive to boot first from, boots partially into Win8, and then displays detected operating systems in its 'os picker' [07:18] I was hoping that Win 8 wasn't finding my Win 7 install due to grub getting in the way somehow. [07:19] eh === root is now known as tryl [07:19] Anyone by any chance think in the near future, it will be possible to snap Opera's menu bar into Unity's bar at the very very top? [07:20] I bet Opera developers didn't see that coming! Ha [07:20] rpk, I think if you have a windows boot partition, that the boots get intertwined like other dual windows setups, I saw on the web that the choice for either would be in a windows gui, but since all my boot is from the mbr it just was added to the grub menu. [07:21] rpk, I had to reload grub I believe to the mbr I forget, thta would be what normally happens. [07:21] urlin2u: yeah, thats what is supposed to happen. I (just) found other people with the same issue when Win7 and Win8 are installed onto separate drives [07:21] tryl, I don't do PM without a warning [07:21] & i cant type [07:22] or can i? [07:22] forgotten my nickname's pass [07:22] I'd really like to preserve the Win8 boot loader / picker... looks a heck of a lot nicer than grub [07:22] & in single user mode [07:22] rpk, I think you will need to ask at #windows really :D [07:23] Where can I find info about the updated security updates? I got a large bunch of updates this morning and would like to know what's going on... [07:23] rpk, I will say though that i have 7 OS's on my computer, all will boot with grub. [07:23] oh, didn't know there was one. urlin2u: yeah, like I said, I just assumed the issue was likely caused by grub wrapping over or hiding the Win7 bootloader in some way [07:24] sveinse: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/ [07:24] urlin2u: and thanks for the help. [07:24] rpk, no problem. [07:24] hi , every body , I want install gnome-ubuntu on ubuntu 10.04 , I can't found gnome-ubuntu in synaptic package manager === Timic_ is now known as Timic [07:24] anjay-hard: what do you mean by "gnome-ubuntu"? [07:25] I want install the package [07:25] anjay-hard, are you saying you want to use gnome3 instead of unity? [07:26] anjay-hard, or are you asking for gnome 2 (gnome classic) [07:26] gnome-ubuntu is a command , I want find out the package [07:26] anjay-hard: what makes you think it is? I don't see it in my package database. [07:27] anjay-hard: it's not a package... [07:27] anjay-hard, what told you it is a command? [07:27] Hello.

[07:27] I want change the gnome default mount option [07:28] but need have gnome-mount [07:28] thanks firekraag and Shirakawasuna [07:28] anjay-hard: that page says nothing about gnome-ubuntu [07:28] how to make my "convert" convert all paged of pdf to tiff? i got converted only 1-st one [07:29] *pasges [07:29] **pages [07:29] anjay-hard: gnome-mount hasn't been part of Ubuntu since hardy. [07:29] BillClinton: http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Linux_software_equivalent_to_Windows_software [07:29] "you must have gnome-mount as well" [07:30] anjay-hard, that's not what you've been asking for :) [07:30] anjay-hard: is gnome-volume-manager installed? [07:30] no [07:31] anjay-hard, then try install gnome-volume-manager :) [07:31] can't find the gnome-volume-manager in database [07:32] Hi, how do I go to a smb://folder/ in the shell [07:32] on the shell...at the shell...hrm [07:33] Package gnome-volume-manager is not available, but is referred to by another package. [07:33] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [07:33] is only available from another source [07:33] E: Package gnome-volume-manager has no installation candidate [07:33] anjay-hard, what exactly are you trying to achieve? [07:34] I just want change the gnome default mount option [07:36] anjay-hard, why do you need to do that? [07:37] I want build a forensic live cd [07:38] anjay-hard, there are so many of those already. why not just use them? [07:40] I want build my own one [07:40] for my company [07:42] anjay-hard, well it seem you have a lot of research to do. Firstly you need to understand how packaging works, so reading up packaging guides would help. [07:43] yes , I know it [07:44] anjay-hard, I certainly cannot help you, sorry. [07:45] It's ok , thanks [07:46] anjay-hard, though, i'd kinda recommend you not start all the way from scratch with ubuntu. Another forensic live cd would be a better starting point, then you can just change the bits you need to be different. [07:46] I'm building a .deb myself and have a file in debian/libpackage.cron.d which ends up in /etc/cron.d/libpackage file and that's good. the problem is nothing inside that file runs when I expect it too, tried a simple job like "* * * * * root /bin/date >> /tmp/stuff" and I saw no output in /tmp/stuff. any ideas as to what my be causing this ? [07:47] Hi [07:47] I'm a new ubuntu user. [07:47] i need some help please.. [07:47] I try the way before , but it is not be easy , have a lot of problem [07:48] Was wondering if there was a way to change th side bar? [07:48] to the bottom [07:48] Or if that is even possible? [07:48] Avoider, no its static you can make its size change though with the unity plugin in ccsm [07:49] hey i am trying to install freenet on my external drive it shows java.ioexception error=13 while running setup.sh script... any idea??? [07:49] urlin2u: where can i find that sir? [07:50] Avoider, install the compiz config settings manager [07:50] Avoider, through the software center. If you click on the ubuntu icon and start typing 'software center' it'll appear. Then search the software center for 'ccsm' [07:50] ok thanks much guys [07:51] Avoider, be careful otherwise if you want the cube I can give you a link, it is not tricky but you can loose everything while tweaking. [07:52] tweaking the side bar? [07:52] Avoider, no any other plugins. [07:52] So is it best just to leave as defult? [07:53] Because im not so familliar with ubuntu yet [07:53] Hi. Any idea, why my 10.04 LTS wants to do a dist upgrade; even when it's configured only to use LTS dist upgrades? [07:53] Avoider, your choice you can gave the cube it just needs to be done with a little for-knowledge, of what to exspect. [07:53] jongleur: probablly to 10.4.2/3 [07:53] ok sur [07:53] gave=have* [07:53] jongleur: rather than 11.x [07:54] ill try the link [07:54] jonglerur because you are using old LTS :) [07:54] pawel__: 10.04 is AFAIK the last LTS, isn't it? === Timic_ is now known as Timic [07:55] Avoider, I used this one in the beginning read carefully before do it. http://reformedmusings.wordpress.com/2011/05/05/howto-get-the-compiz-desktop-cube-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty-and-unity/ === pawel__ is now known as Mamut [07:55] yes, it's 10.04.3, but nevertheless a LTS version (according to /etc/issue) [07:56] jongleur: what does lsb-release -a show [07:56] ok thanks [07:57] ikonia: Release 10.04 Description: Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS [07:57] Avoider, no problem, basically compiz has some refresh problems and the fusion icon that normaly restart compiz can be set up as a launcher to restart that is all the function it has in Natty. [07:57] jongleur: what does it want to upgrade to ? [07:59] it doesn't say anything specific, but opening the update tool it displays a box mentioning, not all updates could be updated. I can choose between a partly update or nothing [07:59] jongleur: then you need to go thorugh what it wants to update to, what's failing, which will probably give you an idea of whats going on [08:00] jongleur, you running 11.10? [08:00] if I choose the partly update, the distribution update/upgrade (it's a german installation, where I fear, there is no difference) is shown and calculates changes [08:00] urlin2u: 10.04.3 [08:00] jongleur, sorry I missed that. [08:01] jongleur: is possibly your update to 10.04.3 - it didn't work properly, so it's trying to complete [08:01] after changes have been calculated, it wants to change a lot [08:01] ikonia: why now? the machine has been running for months now without complaining about it [08:02] I'm a little bit in fear, because all upgrades before broke the system yet (due to driver problems, I think) === will is now known as Will123456 [08:04] hey guys. vlc and cheese can read from my webcam perfectly, but mplayer is having problems. all the literature on the net doesn't seem to address my problem - anything obvious i might be missing? [08:07] Have a problem this LibreOffice [08:08] LO open and save files 10-15sec [08:11] urlin2u: hey, was it you I was talking to before? [08:11] Is there a way to use the USB stick as software source? [08:11] I need to install the wireless drivers and I'm stuck without connection [08:11] Hi. I have emacs started as a daemon and I'm trying to launch an emacsclient via ssh with X redirection. For normal progs, X redirection on the client side is working but when I'm trying to launch emacsclient, I get: Error: display localhost:10.0 can't be opened. Since there's no one on the ssh channels and no one on the emacs channel can help, I figured I might ask here. I did tried to set xhost + on the client side, but with no [08:11] result. Any suggestion? [08:12] anyways, fyi, if grub is installed, Windows 8 dev prev cannot find a Win7 install 'hidden' behind grub. There's a workable short term solution for now, but I assume it'll be fixed soon enough [08:13] rpk, have you ever used the bootscript? [08:14] urlin2u: nope [08:15] rpk, it will show what is where as far as boot information and a lot more, you might consider running it and pastebining the results.text we couls see what is actualy happening. [08:15] Lol, It would be funny if Gnome team were like... [08:15] "Awww screw this, let's just fork back what Ubuntu forked from us"... [08:16] urlin2u: it wouldn't be fixed by grub though, right? [08:16] or are you suggesting theres another issue that is causing the problem [08:16] rpk, takes out the guessing, a great tool. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ It will show the setup and for a person who know what it should be=the boot it works. [08:17] rpk, it is a diagnostic not fix tool. [08:18] urlin2u: yeah, just would have to boot back into ubuntu to use it [08:18] rpk, cool. [08:19] and unfortunately, due to the brilliant guys running the show, they've decided the rendering bug where windows control (close, min, max) and title bars don't render should be closed, as unity is the future [08:19] LibreOffice save and open files too long. What to do? [08:20] I've pretty much decided to never boot back into ubuntu ever again. How do you close a bug which prevents anyone from using the OS in classic without running metacity --restart? [08:21] I've got no screens. I've tried apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop, apt-get remove xauth. I then rebooted and reinstalled them. I still can't startx due to no screens being found. What's next? [08:22] we I hover a mouse over a windows; xmonad show the red border around that windos. how could I change the color of this? [08:22] This bug is in Open Office(>3) too... [08:22] teenboy, whats your cpu and ram? [08:23] Ram 2gb Amd 2x [08:24] Video ati mobility radeon x1300 [08:24] teenboy: are the files large? [08:24] teenboy: and is it the opening process that's long or the dialog windows taking a long time to load? [08:24] amin`: in KDE? [08:25] teenboy, 32 bit or 64? I ask as I wonder if your just using a lot of the resources generally, nither OO or libreoffice opened that fast anyway in ubuntu. [08:25] No, files are small, process... [08:25] your'e* [08:25] 32bit [08:26] In old versions of OO worked OK! [08:28] opening and saving processes takes too long time [08:28] anybody knows what's the issue about a cifs client mount a remote smb partition which hangs and "d????????? ? ? ? ? ? foldername"? [08:29] i am looking for livcd linux where i can log into gui as root and has kernel 3.0 or higher [08:29] teenboy, you might try the ppa if you have not already. https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ppa [08:30] I'll try [08:31] s0126h: i believe PartedMagic will let you do that [08:32] I can't ping google via its hostname. When I try via its IP Address I get "Packet filtered" errors [08:32] recently upgrade my dist to 11.04 [08:32] ActionParsnip, in xmonad [08:33] I was using wmii or xmonad but now is broken, whenever I tried to start firefox or gajim it crash's X, anyone knows how to fix this? [08:33] warfaren i need 3.0; does it have that [08:33] last time i checked yes it does [08:35] warfaren what gui does it come with [08:35] i think lxde? [08:35] sorry i gotta go, have fun [08:36] is it possible to decompile a package to get the original PPA build script? There's a PPA that I need, but it's too out of date, and I never programmed a build script before [08:36] and yeah its running on linux kernel 3.0 since parted magic 6.4 === sebek_ is now known as alexirys [08:37] ubuntu livecd doesn't support EFI? === alexirys is now known as someone [08:37] so how about ubuntu dvd === someone is now known as Guest66101 === Guest66101 is now known as alexirys [08:39] iWang, you might take a look here notice the links as well. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/EFI-Boot-Mactel [08:40] urlin2u: OK,i'll check!

[09:41] wine as a standaline doesn't make much sense [09:41] as it is a compatability layer [09:42] Feldegast: teamviewer works based on wine. teamviewer has it's own portable version for linux. so wine can work portable perfect.

Just read the release notes first [10:07] benoliver999: I always do a clean install personally, fewer issues [10:07] ActionParsnip: It's tempting, but time consuming... [10:08] Oh, I've just had a brainwave. [10:08] benoliver999: true but sometimes old configs can make issues, both methods have advantages [10:08] ActionParsnip: Yeah, last time I had all kinds of trouble with window manager i'd installed etc...

Get SSD and put 11.10 on it. 4. Remove partion on old HDD with 11.04, keeping the part with the data on it. [10:13] ChrisPerkins: Should be fine. [10:14] benoliver999: I'd keep the current drive and use it 100% for /home and swap. Use the SSD for system and boot [10:14] ActionParsnip: That's what I'm thinking.

I had no idea I'd had so many older kernels still there [10:28] an* [10:28] alycia: you only have 4 kernels, the rest are residual configs [10:29] why 4 kernels? [10:29] rek: pcmanfm can connect to samba shares [10:29] alycia: look at your pastebin and look at the lines startnig with 'ii' those are the installed kernels [10:29] ok [10:30] ActionParsnip, fglrx is now being removed for kernel 38.8, is that ok?

[10:48] I am using a modem in 'Bridge Mode' to connect to the internet. Now sometimes i can't access its Homepage (192.168.1.1), since the modem has not been assigned a IP. [10:49] yixuan: is the partition you are outpuuting to mounted and writable and have enough space to store the image [10:49] ActionParship: no, I want to mount it to live cd folder, which is /tmp [10:49] So i use "dhclient eth0" to assign a IP to that device, but the DNS entry in /etc/resolv.conf also gets changed from 8.8.8.8 to 192.168.1.1. So i can't access the internet. Any workaround for this so that i can assign IP to that modem with messing up with .conf file?

[11:14] And then can I use my same licence on my windows machine if it is possible. [11:14] Layke: i believe it depends on the version [11:14] ActionParsnip: I found this one http://www.ehow.com/about_6598472_64-vs_-32-bit-ubuntu.html [11:14] paulus68: same deal, read both :) [11:14] Layke, stick with it!, there is a tut somewere to make gimp menus like photoshop which is good for the transition but im unsure were it is [11:15] LjL: I've been brought up on Photoshop, and used it for ages, so I can use any version really. [11:15] Layke: look into gimpshop :) [11:15] Do you know which works? LjL [11:15] ActionParsnip, okay, will look now. [11:15] goto winehq to find photoshop support and install info. [11:15] Layke: http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?appId=17 [11:15] I also need illustrator.. Is there any useful vector OS linux* [11:16] gimp works every where, win, mac and *nix [11:18] Layke: Gimp, and Inkscape [11:18] Inkscape seems to be more of what you're looking for. [11:19] But gimp = still a great tool. [11:19] Cheers. Also, on the Gimpshop, which I will look into, where do I actually download it for Ubuntu. I'm only seeing Windows, Solaris Mac etc [11:20] Layke: http://www.gimpshop.com/download.shtml [11:20] Layke: the Debian package might work, but no guarantees [11:20] Nah failed. === andy_ is now known as Guest32121 [11:20] LjL, wrong arch.

Got fed up of using Windows and the constant bugs with PHP and impossibilities manage pecl/pear [11:22] as I see it there is no reason for gimpshop now that gimp has single window mode [11:22] Well, Ubuntu is not a flawless experience if you come from Windows either. [11:22] Layke: just means you may not be able to use gimpshop. 32bit is still slightly more supported than 64bit in 3rd parties [11:23] every OS sucks [11:23] I googled and many people say sudo dpkg -i fworks with the Debian package. [11:23] class song [11:23] ActionParsnip, ubuntu is easier for development anyway obviously :) It just means no more lunch time bfbc2 breaks. [11:23] Stable release 2.2.11 (based on GIMP 2.2.11) / May 17, 2006 ... [11:24] Layke: you might want to give Krita a try... it's a KDE application and it's relatively young, but it looks and feels more similar to Photoshop afaict [11:24] Also, you can just compile yourself if you want. [11:24] No joy on the gimpshop install. http://pastie.org/2578795 [11:25] Layke: yeah i'm not finding an AMD64 package. honestly i'd just avoid it.

[12:06] Nova685: Oh I can ping the host, without http: in front of it [12:07] so my mistake :) [12:07] net: try: sudo apt-get --reinstall install openjdk-6-jre [12:08] Dulcin: off a whim have you tried "sudo apt-get clean" [12:08] Nova685: I did now, but no luck on the update [12:09] ActionParsnip: tnx, I'll try [12:10] ActionParsnip: it's still the same.. java -version java version "1.6.0_26" [12:10] ActionParsnip: should't be Java 6 or something? [12:12] I want to try raid1 or raid0 on external harddrives, in live usb mode, just want to try it. What live CD should i download? [12:12] Dulcin: what type of connection does the computer have to the internet? [12:12] net: that is java6 [12:12] I tried gparted but it does not seem to support any ´software raid stuff [12:12] kanyl: what do you mean try it? as an install ? [12:12] ikonia: I dont want to install anything, just try creating a raid in linux. [12:13] iceroot: ok tnx [12:13] kanyl: do you plan to actually use it, or just see if you can create it ? [12:13] kanyl: every linux-live-cd can create a software-raid. use mdadm [12:13] net: I use sun java via the file from www.java.com so couldn't say. Works in my browser is all I know of java [12:13] iceroot: has it got a GUI? [12:13] ikonia: just want to try it [12:13] kanyl: never saw a gui for mdadm [12:13] kanyl: in that case, mdadm is your friend, the reason I'm asking is becase raid on usb disks will perform very bad [12:14] Ok thanks [12:14] Any tutoirual you can recomend? or should i just google? [12:14] rghg [12:14] kanyl: not really a tutorial as each situation is unique to that person, but there are good documetantion sites showing how to generically use it [12:14] ikonia: which ones? [12:15] !raid | kanyl [12:15] kanyl: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [12:15] thanks [12:15] msls [12:15] kanyl: the first link [12:15] kanyl: with respect, you're going to struggle with more advance topics like raid if you're incable of searching out the base documentation. [12:15] bvb [12:16] root__: you have a support question? [12:17] so.. [12:17] ubuntu 10.04 update manager is offering a partial upgrade. Is this bad? [12:18] !rootirc | root__ [12:18] root__: It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. [12:19] Nova685: I assume something like fiber [12:19] greywulf: close software centre and run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [12:21] Hey, I want to use "ps -ef|grep apache" and kill (with -9) all proccesses that are listed at once, instead of having to go one by one [12:21] is that possible with a single command? [12:21] Joel2: why? That sounds like not a good idea... [12:22] It has 3 related processes which I want to kill at once [12:22] Joel2: why don't you just stop apache? [12:23] Dulcin: on fiber your ping to google for instance should be no more then 10 seconds and if its over 250 that is a problem and can cause the timeouts [12:23] It runs as a single process [12:23] Joel2: ps -ef | grep apache | awk '{ print $2 }' will give you the PIDs [12:23] I can only get it to stop with Ctrl+z [12:23] and then I need to kill it [12:23] Joel2: yes, why don't you just use « sudo service apache stop » like a sane person? [12:23] Anybody knows how to syncronize Google docs & Tomboy? Or may be there is so light application in Ubuntu for Google Docks like Tomboy? [12:24] ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/695603/plain/ [12:24] Joel2: sorry, "apache2", not "apache" [12:24] ok, thnx [12:24] so spotify doesn't like the new qt libs or something? [12:25] greywulf: and the output of: lsb_release -sc [12:25] Joel2: there really isn't a reason to use kill unless an application is misbehaving somehow. And kill -9 should be a last resort [12:25] ActionParsnip: lucid [12:25] got it [12:25] greywulf: no, the potify app has been made but the deps for the newer version are not available yet so it will be held until they can be met [12:26] Joel2: http://www.weberdev.com/get_example.php3?ExampleID=1672 ;) [12:26] Joel2: ok good. Just for your knowledge, pkill would do what you wanted [12:26] ActionParsnip: so presumably no kaboom, if I upgrade, except maybe spotify [12:26] ok, thnx for the help! [12:26] greywulf: should be fine [12:27] geronimo! [12:27] greywulf: GUI apps are nice but nearly always tell you nothing and hide the reasons why stuff is happening. CLI alwas tells you exactly what is what [12:28] ActionParsnip: yeah, so it seems.. [12:31] hey guys, any reason im getting hash mismatch error in repos for PERL packages? main server [12:31] and us server [12:32] ActionParsnip: back from reboot, no kaboom spotted.

[12:49] or should i ust put it on a 2nd internal hard drive [12:49] hi there [12:49] MonkeyDust: i dont have the same symptoms you have. i just expierieced a one time wierdness, where the start menu and all menus next to it disappeared and my apps would not open, a restart fixed it, and that was the first time so far. [12:49] read write speed is limited to the speed of the usb drive then [12:49] roo_: so do you want to install Natty as a VM or do you want to install VMware software onto Ubuntu so you can then run VMs?? [12:50] carpunky, booting from usb will take 4 times longer i think [12:50] how to install in samba package ubuntu 11.4 [12:50] carpunky: it is stored on NTFS so will also be impacted by the fragmentation of NTFS over time [12:50] when I log in my ubuntu I get the error that I dont have kernel loaded, and I should load it, then I try again and it works [12:50] . [12:50] roo_: same as any other package [12:50] ohhi2: ty, i didnt than abut that [12:51] Islam: try: sudo update-grub see if it helps [12:51] actionparsnip: thanks [12:52] is there a way to import the keyboard shortcuts from one ubuntu installation to another new installation? === Digital_Lemon is now known as Teh_Lemon [12:52] when I tried it I get that : cat: /boot/grub/video.lst: No such file or directory [12:52] carpunky: internal hd r/ [12:52] Well folks my limited time here this morning has expired. I will be back later today after work, as i am sure this problem wont fix itself, lol. have a good one. [12:52] carpunky: depends on what you want. I have ubuntu installed as a dual boot on another partition https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [12:52] Islam: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc please [12:53] nsahoo: Depends on where you set them [12:53] how can I know what you are askin about Actionparsnip ? [12:54] Islam: its a terminal command [12:54] Islam: Its a command you run in your terminal [12:54] thats what I got when I did what you told me [12:54] Hey everyone [12:54] islam@ubuntu:~$ sudo update-grub [12:54] [sudo] password for islam: [12:54] Generating grub.cfg ...

[12:55] !anyone | andybrine [12:55] andybrine: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [12:55] nsahoo: So they are probably somewhere in .gconf would be my guess [12:56] soreau: ok. thanks [12:56] About what I asked a few hours ago, one of the reasons why I find it more difficult to get into GIMP, is the whole keyboard shortcuts are different. and finding out which shortcut I can use is non intuitive. [12:56] what should I do Actionparsnip ? [12:56] I got you all I have [12:56] Layke: Different than what? [12:56] Islam: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc please [12:56] Ok, when i playback my video in any video editor it plays back very fast, i wonder if anyone esle has experienced that? [12:56] how do I get that output ? [12:57] Islam: its a terminal command [12:57] ! terminal | Islam [12:57] Islam: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [12:57] natty [12:57] soreau, Sorry, my original question an hour ago was "can I install photoshop on ubuntu" since I was having trouble getting the hang of GIMP and have always used PS. People said to just stick trying to use GIMP, but you can install PS using Wine. [12:57] ie, I can't even figure out without Googling how I should rotate a object. [12:57] I have a extra internal hard drive that I was going to use for Ubuntu ...would it be best to just unplug my other hard drive that has win7 on it, until I get ubuntu installed ? === Mo is now known as Guest46334 [12:58] Layke: Learning often times requires reading. GIMP is not PS and does not strive to be [12:58] I got natty, actionsnipt [12:58] Layke: There is also #gimp on this network [12:59] carpunky: if you want to select at boot whether you go to windows or ubuntu, you should install according to the instructions [12:59] does any body know what natty supposed to mean ? [12:59] Hi [12:59] !natty | Islam [12:59] Islam: Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1104 [12:59] Is there a compatibility list being kept for Ubuntu upgrade from 10.x to 11.x? [12:59] carpunky: I would plug them both in before installing any OS so it knows what hw you will be using [13:00] Islam: ok, run: echo vbe | sudo tee /boot/grub/video.lst; sudo update-grub [13:00] Hello [13:00] Islam: should be ok. Source: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9087057 [13:00] What is the manpage package for c++ documentation? [13:00] I sut get so many answers on google on how to install 2 os's on 2 differ hard drives that it is confusing [13:01] Islam: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/natty [13:01] Braden`: I believe that C++ is much too complex for a manpage.. it can fill many books (and has) [13:01] carpunky: not really, install Windows as you expect and have the other unpartitioned, then install ubuntu to the free space [13:01] hello, how can i install skype at ubuntu? [13:01] soreau: Well, for example, if I do: man 3 printf [13:01] It outputs the manpage for printf [13:02] I am quite sure there is a manpage for std::cout [13:02] has anyone had the issue with video playback in a video editor? for some reason the video playback plays back really fast [13:02] carpunky: Its pretty easy. Just plugin the hard drive, boot ubuntu live install session and select manual partitioning [13:02] actionparsnip: I alreay have win 7 installed on this hard drive, I am adding another hard to install ubuntu [13:02] carpunky: From there, setup your target hard drive to be the root partition for ubuntu (mount point /) [13:02] carpunky: even easier [13:02] also it plays out of sync because it plays back fast [13:03] still same problem and it says no such directory [13:03] Total_Oblivion: $ sudo apt-get install skype [13:03] carpunky: You need to put your mbr on the first hdd [13:03] braden: mbr ? [13:03] Braden`: He shouldnt even have to worry about that since the install will take care of it automatically [13:04] carpunky: mbr=master boot record. You shouldnt need to worry with it at all [13:04] melvinc_: it told me that it wansn't in a package or something [13:04] soreau "Ok [13:04] Total_Oblivion: grab the deb from the skype site, easier [13:04] Total_Oblivion: Yes, you can get the .deb installer from skype.com [13:04] this one?http://www.skype.com/intl/en/get-skype/on-your-computer/linux/ === Odaym` is now known as Odaym [13:05] ok let me try this thanks [13:05] to be honest i dont know what i can search for to find out a solution [13:05] any help would be great [13:05] and that will be downloaded to the download folder right?

The playback ends up to be really fast [13:07] andybrine: Try a different video editor like avidemux [13:07] Total_Oblivion: you can also go use the Ubuntu Software Center, its the shopping bad icon on your launch bar, search for skype after you open the program, and hit install [13:07] andybrine: also you may have to adjust the output format settings [13:07] for example I am using open shot and have tried kdenlive and the same thing happens [13:08] is that in avidemux? [13:08] is what in avidemux? [13:09] are you sure that is what i need to use to fix this error? [13:09] nope [13:09] You will have to try it for yourself [13:09] also install mplayer and ffmpeg [13:09] I dont want to use another video editor as the editor is not the issue here [13:10] it is the playback within these editors [13:10] Hi guys, I have 2 pop email accounts in Evolution, but the mails from both accounts get downloaded into one folder.

Under "classic" mode, my virtual desktops are appearing in a grid (good). but all 9 seem to want to appear as a single row (despite configuration saying 3x3) when in Unity 2D mode. Am I missing something obvious? [13:21] the same vbe [13:21] bonjour [13:22] Islam: so NOW you ran the command, you didn't last time, or it would have done THAT last time [13:22] Islam: now run: sudo update-grub [13:22] My previous install (an upgrade of an upgrade of an upgrade… dating back to I believe 9.10? 10.04?) didn't have this issue. [13:23] it gave me every thing found and done [13:23] is it solved now ? [13:23] Islam: anything about a missing file? [13:23] nope [13:23] should I try to resart ? [13:23] Islam: strange how you SAID you'd ran the command but got the same issue, but you reran it and it magically starts working [13:24] Islam: think about that.... reboot to test [13:24] a wizard did it [13:24] must have [13:24] Actiosnip I did try it the first time and it gave me the same answer vbe [13:24] hal-j: Well for one thing, unity sucks [13:24] lol, ok thanx I'll try it out [13:24] soreau: indeed [13:25] more of a curiosity than anything else. [13:25] hal-j: It is really just compiz with a plugin that breaks stuff [13:25] hal-j: Id recommend disabling unity in ccsm and using compiz === sander__ is now known as brainbug__ [13:26] hal-j: Be warned that disabling unity plugin can cause all ccsm plugins to be disabled [13:27] I don't mind unity personally. Its a bit like marmite [13:28] ActionParsnip: funny, i was gonna compare unity to a root canal. [13:28] I've a second graphics card with /dev/fb1. How can I start a second instance of Xorg on this particular one? [13:29] if I could put the dock where I wanted I'd like it more. if I could have my 9 desktops in a grid, I could _use_ it. 9 desktops in a single row isn't usable [13:29] KM0201: Just switch DE and you gots no issues :) [13:29] classic mode it is [13:29] thanks guys [13:29] ActionParsnip: thats a great solution! [13:30] KM0201: LXDE here ;) [13:30] kasi_: You would probably have to setup multiple screens in xorg.conf though there is no guarantee two cards will even work [13:31] thanx Actionsnip its fixed [13:31] Islam: sweet [13:31] hello [13:31] this is http://paste.pocoo.org/show/481079/ my xmonad.hs ; i got it from xmonad config archives. but i don't know what tis the reconfiguration (recompile) key-bindings?

[13:32] my files are in the media file, when I log it through terminal and type dir it says its empty [13:32] and I noticed it creates a file in the media that I should enter it to get to my files [13:32] Islam: what about: ls -a [13:33] :) [13:33] soreau, isn't it possible to start another instance of Xorg? [13:34] Can someone help me create a subtitle file? I can't use Subtitle Workshop or any of it's clones... I need simple GUI with video preview where you scan to the right moment in the film and say "insert here"...

[14:07] what's Ubuntu not good at? [14:07] I was getting 8 or so hours prior to the reinstall [14:07] ionite: playing windows games [14:07] ionite: kde is just a desktop enviroment, but ubuntu compared to others, It has a bigger userbase, hence more support and easier to find people with fixes for known problems [14:07] no idea how that compares on this netbook, never ran anything else [14:07] Ubuntu makes a poor cup of coffee [14:07] edbian: is that all?

I can't help at this time, but perhaps try restating the samba issue explicitly? As the for key/mouse over usb, no help here :) [14:29] mbeierl, i used ubuntu in the past but i never stuck with it because i could not get past some bugs. [14:29] its cool === himcesjf1 is now known as himcesjf [14:30] laos, what about /etc/resolv.conf..are the dns entries listed there ?

[14:35] I don like Linux anyre. [14:35] is gnome player is also called Mplayer? [14:35] bil21al: gnome-mplayer is a gtk frontend to mplayer [14:35] mbeierl: i have 2 hdd's on my ubuntu box. one is ntfs format, the main is partitioned with windows 7 and ubuntu side by side. 11.04.

[14:36] auronandace: no no in a bug Mplayer is written i search in dash it gives gnome player so i m just asking that is gnome player is also called Mplayer?? [14:37] bil21al: yes. it's called the gnome-mplayer [14:37] mbeierl: i cant get any of my windows boxs in other rooms to connect to the ntfs drive or any ntfs partition on my ubuntu box.

You have ubuntu booted from the second hard drive? [14:38] Druss: and the other computers can see the samba network presented by the ubuntu box? [14:38] Question: anyone know how to get rid of the dot-grid in the new unity-greeter on Oneric? [14:38] amin`: and if you join lines 87 and 88? [14:38] AkariTakai: try #ubuntu+1 [14:38] !11.10 | AkariTakai [14:38] AkariTakai: 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 [14:38] thx [14:39] Ok, I finally installed a old 2nd hard drive...do i need to reformat it.. (.it has win xp on it ) before I install ubuntu on it [14:39] amin`: also, install xmessage [14:39] carpunky: yes [14:39] carpunky, the ubuntu installer will format it for you [14:39] carpunky: the installer has a step to setup partitioning [14:40] ok, thanks all [14:40] just make sure you format the right drive [14:42] i have a ubuntu box with 2 hdd's and the main drive has a partition with ubuntu on it the partition is ext4, the rest of that main hdd is ntfs. now i have a second drive that is all ntfs. yes the windows boxes in other rooms can see the drive over the samba ntwk but cannot access the files of any of the share folders on any of the hdd that is in ntfs format. did i explain it good? [14:42] the shared drive does not have to be ntfs [14:42] ubuntu cant set privlages on an ntfs drive [14:43] sometimes it works others no [14:43] its a privlage issue most likely though [14:43] mbeierl: that second drive is inthe ubuntu box. i did notmention that above. [14:44] sorry was talking to Druss: [14:44] you should format it to ext4, unless you use the drive in another system [14:44] Druss: you don't need samba to access a drive on the same machine as ubuntu is running [14:44] Nova685: really? so it wont work unless i reformat the drive to ext4 [14:45] Druss: the problem with NTFS support under Ubuntu is that the drive is mounted as a specific user, which means that one user effectively "owns" all the files. So the sharing of the NTFS drive is going to be restricted as far as security controls go [14:45] is there some easy way to disable all of the "Open with Wine..." garbage that gets stuck into Gnome when I install Wine? [14:45] auronandace: thats not what im trying to do, trying to access it via windows box [14:45] can be ext3, or whatever [14:45] Druss: ah, sorry [14:46] so that explains it, i need to reformat it. [14:46] hi all [14:46] Druss: any format native to linux is fine because ubuntu neess to set privlages on it in order to share it [14:47] Druss: Anything which supports POSIX permissions, basically [14:47] Druss: yes, and no. If you want all the network users to have the same access and not worry about protecting files from others, then no. [14:47] Also, I've disabled the integrated app-menu for all of my Gnome apps by adding "export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0" into my Xsession.d, but this doesn't work for QT apps - where's the setting for them? [14:47] now if i reformat will windows on the parttition be able to read it. from within the windows os? [14:47] please how can I tell dpkg-shlibdeps that a .so cames from a manual library install, a kind of source-depends but for library not debianized ? [14:47] Druss, its dual boot? [14:48] Druss: you will need read/write privs to the user or group and yes [14:48] yes its a dual boot box [14:48] DeadPanda: You can remove files with the name wine-extensionsomething in ~/.local/share, don't remove ~/.local/share/applications/wine though since then your Applications menu wine entries won't appear [14:48] then you dont want to format it ext4 [14:48] Druss: You can read ext2-4 filesystems with a software called ext2read on Windows [14:49] theadmin: i wouldn't recomend that [14:49] Polah, thanks, I'll remove that directory to and make launchers in the correct categories [14:49] *too [14:49] auronandace: Works fine for me, but yeah, not really well-done [14:49] has anyone played with jGRASP on linux? [14:49] will i have to remove my data or will a ext4 format retain the data thats on it? [14:49] Druss: Formatting will erase all data. [14:50] you wont be able to boot windows [14:50] DeadPanda: No. Don't remove the directory. [14:50] Druss: it is one of the problems of dual boots, yes. Neither one has perfect support for the other... The same is true for NTFS support on a Macintosh box... [14:50] ok thats what i thought, but was hoping i was wrong. [14:50] DeadPanda: Remove files named wine-extension-something, but leave everything else, including applications/wine [14:50] Druss: are all the network users part of the same authentication group? [14:51] jGRASP is wrote in java so it runs on linux, but linux wont let if write files [14:51] jrib, it was the nano i forgot to use -w and my xmonad.hs is gone now. what about xmassages [14:51] Polah, I'd rather not have WINE creating its own application launchers, is there a better way to prevent that? "applications/wine" doesn't seem to contain anything critical [14:51] is there a format that i can use that win and lin and read favorably? [14:51] Druss: you can always make the ntfs files group read/writeable do that everyone has the same access, regardless of user [14:51] amin`: xmonad will try to use xmessages to show you errors, so might be nice to have [14:51] DeadPanda: It contains things required for Applications > Wine > Programs [14:51] Druss: I hate to say it, but FAT32 is one of the most widely supported formats - although it has size limitations [14:52] Polah, which is exactly what I don't want, hence my deleting it [14:52] mbeierl: thats what im saying ubuntu cant set that priv on ntfs [14:52] mbeierl: im not sure what you mean by authentication group? i can access the ext4 files from windows boxes in other rooms with no issues over the samba. [14:52] DeadPanda: Well, you can just hide the Applications > Wine section from System > Preferences > Main Menu, removing wine-extension... file will stop it showing up notepad and suchlike when attempting to open files [14:53] Polah, that doesn't work in Ubuntu 11.04+ [14:53] Nova685 - can't you set the owner/group and perms when you mount the disk [14:53] noy on ntfs [14:53] Polah, the dash doesn't seem to honour the show/hide tags [14:53] DeadPanda: It does in GNOME, perhaps not Unity. I don't know if the same applies to Unity, perhaps leave it [14:53] you can on linux native formats [14:53] if I just want my web server to send email (for example with the php mail() function) which package should I install? aptitude install sendmail? [14:53] ok, maybe that is just a FAT thing aswell then... [14:53] i don't want to actually host any email - just send from scripts [14:54] winterdj: Likely so, sendmail and probably mailx [14:54] fat you can [14:54] DeadPanda: That's because there's files for programs registered to certain formats, which are names wine-extension-something.desktop, and then there's applications/wine which maintains the Wine > Programs listing [14:54] Druss: that is due to the fact that it is Linux that is presenting the files as a network share, and can map the owners and groups according to its own native rules. NTFS has different rules, and in fact the actual user IDs are special to MS Windows, and Ubuntu does not currently support those at all [14:54] Does anyone know why? When I click on Home Folder windows open for a few seconds and dissapeared., [14:54] seems like that is the best bet. could he create multiple partitions.. with ext, fat, ntfs? [14:54] mbeierl: i have been trying to set permissions on that ntfs drive all day long yesterday with ubuntu. maybe if i try changing the permissions with windows i will have better luck? [14:55] linux cant set privs on ntfs its still experimental to even use ntfs [14:56] Druss: can you do me a favour? Can you output the contents of the "mount" command for the ntfs mount? [14:57] i think reformatting the drive is my best option. is there a format that lin and win can both be happy with, without the addition of extra software? [14:57] Druss: Not really. [14:57] Druss: you want to mount it manually with "mount.ntfs-3g -o uid=1000 gid=1000 /dev/sdx /mnt/point" [14:57] mbeierl: im not home now. wish i could. [14:57] Druss: ok. What size is the drive? [14:57] ext is best for linux and can set privs to [14:58] but fat is best for both [14:58] fat32 [14:58] 750gb on the full ntfs and 1tb on the partition drive (i have a lot of movies) [14:58] Nova685: ntfs-3g is not experimental [14:59] sigh. i installed ubuntu-restricted-extras, but i still get "The playback of this movie requires a MPEG-4 AAC decoder plugin which is not installed." when i try a mp4. any other hint? [14:59] jack, which player ? [14:59] resizing Win7 partition... [14:59] * Petskull crosses fingers [15:00] SIFTU: its only recently considered stable and not fully functional [15:00] any compromises by going with fat32 vs ext4 and some software on windows? [15:00] where can i find ubuntu packagers please? [15:00] BluesKaj, totem [15:00] Nova685: it's in the kernel! [15:00] !medibuntu | jack [15:00] jack: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [15:00] kthx [15:00] Druss: The best option is FAT, although I am confused about what the real volume size limit is. [15:01] Druss: some light reading http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-advanced/ownership-and-permissions/ [15:01] jack: i am not sure but i think that you need to restart after installing the restricted extras. [15:01] mbeierl: fat has a volume size limit? [15:01] SIFTU: has been for years but wasnt actively used till like 2 years ago [15:01] Druss: but actually, FAT and NTFS with all files being owned by the same person are effectively the same thing. [15:02] Druss: it's like 196Gb [15:02] SIFTU, thanks [15:02] Druss: it does. or it did. I can't recall the exact numbers but FAT32 used to be 4gb or so [15:02] that when I started to go with ntfs [15:02] where can i download the Ubuntu kernel source code? [15:02] !kernel | djmattyg007 [15:02] djmattyg007: 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) [15:02] Druss: If you have a lot of movies FAT may not be a good choice. FAT filesize is limited to only a few GB and thus any high definition or long movies may exceed that. [15:02] djmattyg007: see the compile instructions [15:03] i don't want to compile it, i just want to grep it [15:03] ohh 196gb wont cut it. im just going to have to go ext4 [15:03] djmattyg007: apt-get install linux-source [15:03] djmattyg007: that's fine, guess what the first step to compile it is... [15:03] Druss: FAT32 volume size limit is 2TB [15:03] jrib: make menuconfig? [15:03] ohh really? [15:04] theadmin: well you need source code first :P [15:04] thats the way to go then. [15:04] jrib: Well yeah :D [15:04] but max filesize is around 4gb [15:04] Druss: Yes. 2TB volume size limit, 4GB file size limit for FAT32. Volume size for FAT<32 is significantly less [15:04] Polah, I dunno- I've hit the limit before, and I've NEVER had a 2tb machine before [15:04] Nova685: 3.8 or so to be bit more precise [15:04] ohh i have files that are 8gb, that wont work [15:05] Hello I am using ubuntu under wubi [15:05] Shaba1: That's your problem [15:05] whatever, I just got with ntfs for my data partition nowadays [15:05] Petskull: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table max volume size under FAT32 is 2TB, FAT16 is 2GB and FAT12 32MB [15:05] How do find out if I have the 64 bit or 32bit version [15:05] Druss: FAT32 won't be any more helpful than NTFS permission-wise [15:05] Shaba1: uname -m [15:05] thanks, Polah [15:05] Shaba1: uname -m as stated by jrib [15:06] Hm [15:06] Given that he's using wubi... [15:06] theadmin: thanks, im just going to go ext4 and get some software for windows so it can read the ext4 format. [15:06] Shaba1: That's a terminal command, in case you didn't understand [15:06] hey guys i am trying to connect to amazon through ssh and i have an .pem file, what would be the ssh command to connet to amazon ?? [15:07] Shaba1: i686 == 32bit x86_64 == 64bit [15:07] Polah, that makes sense- I musta been doing something wierd [15:07] * Petskull scratches head [15:08] Druss- let me know if you find some! [15:08] I think there was something good for Ext2 for a while, but I think it was crappy with some newer versions of Win [15:08] Petskull: There's a few pieces of software that can get Windows to read ext3/4 [15:08] thank theadmin and jrib [15:09] that worked [15:09] now another question [15:09] Petskull: ext2read works well with ext3 and ext4, too, and I'm using Windows 7, so... [15:09] hey guys i am trying to connect to amazon through ssh and i have an .pem file, what would be the ssh command to connet to amazon ?? [15:09] does KDE come with the ubuntu install [15:09] petskull: there was a reccomendation for the sftwr in here a few lines up [15:09] or do I have to add that [15:09] Shaba1: No, apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [15:09] Sorry I ama windows pers [15:09] well a lot of lines up [15:09] I guess I'll have to give it another try [15:09] so I know these sound like stupid question [15:09] Shaba1: no, kde comes with kubuntu. You can install kde in ubuntu and choose the DE at login [15:09] I'd like my data partition to be Ext3, if I could actually [15:09] you better apologize :P [15:10] pratz: just pass the .pem file to ssh using -i [15:10] what was the cpp channel ? [15:10] Petskull: Why not ext4? (: [15:10] Shaba1: , beleive me, the questions I asked when I started were much stupider :D [15:10] Shaba1: you are new so questions are natural [15:10] cylonmath: #c++ I beleive [15:10] join #c++ [15:10] cylonmath: The / [15:10] my win 7 pc can read my android phone and my android is ext4. [15:10] Polah, I dunno- I think when Ext4 came out there was some concerns about something, so I decided to stick with Ext3 [15:11] theadmin: Nope... i got it it is ##c++ [15:11] Druss: Android has special drivers, though [15:11] jrib: i tried this dude ssh -i file.pem user@domain/ip , but it is not working [15:11] ohh i see. [15:11] those issues are probably long gone by now.. [15:11] pratz: pastebin outpt [15:11] jrib: i am getting timeour error [15:11] hello there, im trying to install oneiric beta 2, but installator hang during the process, anyone encountered simmilator problem?

[15:11] sajimon: #ubuntu+1 [15:11] Petskull: Most probably, it's an improvement on ext3 and is the default for Ubuntu now. [15:12] pratz: well are you sure you are providing the right host? [15:12] okey, thanks [15:12] Ok- resize ops completed... new we reboot and see if Win7 still works... [15:12] * Petskull *sigh* [15:13] hi, I've a problem, how can I adjust the SMPT port from 25 to something else to use it with postfix? [15:14] lemme try to mount the partition from the livecd first and see how that goes [15:14] can anybody please tell me about "Why I am getting ip address as 192.168.1.4" in Ubuntu server instead of getting 192.168.1.2 [15:14] soo now that, thats resolved and i thank you. theadmin, mbeierl, nova865 and anyone else i forgot. maybe someone can help me with my final issue of keyboard and mouse not responding for 3-5 minutes after a restart and only after a restart.

[15:17] by mistake I assigned IP address as 192.18 [15:17] ** 192.168.1.2 [15:17] statically [15:17] whereas I configured at time of installation as DHCP [15:17] now everytime I reboot it, it acquires 192.168.1.4 [15:18] what can be the problem ? please help [15:18] pawan_tejwani: Is that a desktop system?

[15:20] nah, everything seems to be going fine [15:20] stage 2!

[15:21] theadmin: wait I will restart dhcpd service [15:21] FreDuw, step 1: Get LOTS of coffee... [15:21] pawan_tejwani: Do not restart, stop it [15:21] auronandace, musta missed it [15:21] pawan_tejwani: Also, it's dhcpcd [15:21] Petskull: I hate coffee, anything else? [15:21] stage 3! [15:21] i am still unable to locate the actual kernel source code. i don't want to compile it or anything fancy with it. i just want to read it. [15:21] pawan_tejwani: With a silly nonsensical "c" after the dhcp thing :D [15:21] theadmin: what does that do exactly? i can run 'sudo nautilus' from terminal, but this isnt ideal every time [15:21] FreDuw, Heroin [15:21] Tixos: gksu is sudo for GUI apps. [15:21] !grub2 | FreDuw [15:21] FreDuw: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[15:22] Tixos: No need for "run in terminal" if that's what you mean [15:22] Tixos: gksu is a GUI app so [15:22] I just turned those off so let see if that makes a difference [15:22] Hi. Why does my ubuntu hang on a black screen before login most of the time, yet other it loads fine? [15:23] FreDuw, if the drive are empty, then OBVIOUSLY grub doesn't have anything to boot!

[15:26] FreDuw: that is the grub rescue prompt [15:26] djmattyg007: ?... That's the source-code [15:26] FreDuw, yeah, what ActionParsnip said [15:26] do that [15:26] FreDuw: Are you writing grub to the MBR of the primary drive? [15:26] Ok last newbie question [15:26] djmattyg007: It should be right there if I'm correct [15:26] usr13: Say what? [15:26] FreDuw: What kind of PC and what kind of HD? [15:27] on windows I can right click on the desktop then choose arrange icons by name,type,date e.t.c [15:27] FreDuw, do you have more than 1 HD? [15:27] Petskull: No. [15:27] is there anything like that in linux [15:27] FreDuw: And how may HDs do you have? [15:27] theadmin: there are a lot of files and subfolders in that folder [15:27] Shaba1: yes, [15:27] usr13: Just one, as i said 1 minute ago. [15:27] I only see arrange by name when I right click on the linux desktop [15:27] Well ikonia what is it? [15:27] how do you do it [15:27] djmattyg007: So? The source-code is not one single file or anything [15:27] FreDuw, he was typing as you responded- this channel moves fast [15:27] Shaba1: you right click and use the options in there [15:28] I know it's frustrating.. chill [15:28] How do I get out of Grub and into Ubuntu desktop? [15:28] FreDuw: you use grub to boot ubuntu [15:28] FreDuw, boot into the livecd [15:28] options in where ikonia ?? [15:29] Shaba1: if you right click on the desktop, there are arrange options, I wonder if it's been removed in unity [15:29] It must be ikonia [15:29] ikonia: I don't think so, unless nautilus no longer manages the desktop folder [15:29] How may I monitor my CPU temperature and fan speed from Ubuntu? [15:29] becasuse I only see arrange by name [15:29] theadmin: I didn't think so eiher, but judging by Shaba1's comments it's not there [15:30] melvincv: first step is installing the package "lm-sensors" and running "sensors-detect" to configure it [15:30] Petskull: What does LiveCD mean? === LoRez is now known as L [15:30] FreDuw: What kind of PC and what kind of HD? [15:30] I'll try that... [15:30] FreDuw, probably similar to this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [15:30] Maybe becasue I am running ubuntu classic?

[15:31] FreDuw: What kind of PC and what kind of HD? i.e. IS it a laptop or desktop. Is it an ide or sata dirve? [15:31] Desktop, IDE [15:32] It reads and writes just fine, it's the bootup of the OS that's fked up. [15:32] FreDuw: Did you tell it to write Grub to the MBR? [15:32] FreDuw: control your langauge [15:32] ikonia: What did I say wrong?

[15:41] The do-release-upgrade is trying to go from 9.04 straight to 10.04, which is NOT what I want -- I want the intermediary 9.10 [15:41] Petskull: something like: echo "setxkbmap es" >> ~/.bashrc [15:41] melvincv: sure you ran it with 'sudo'? [15:42] auronandace: Server. No X. [15:42] oops [15:42] ActionParsnip: ^ [15:42] source: http://www.ubuntuka.com/ubuntu-command-line-tricks-set-3/ [15:42] allballs: What you have to do is edit your sources.list so that it shows 9.10 sources [15:42] "Warning: No mount point assigned to the ntfs file system blah blah blah..." BECAUSE YOU WON'T LET ME MAKE ONE!!! [15:42] LjL, yes, sure it was run with root privileges [15:42] <_cb> any channel where one can brainstorm securing a pc that needs access to the internet? [15:43] ActionParsnip: setxkbmap is for X. [15:43] _cb: ##security [15:43] after this install- remind me to find out whoe changed this so I can kick him in the balls [15:43] ActionParsnip: Which I think is obvious from the name [15:43] melvincv: :\ [15:43] allballs: Did you do that yet? [15:43] Petskull: Stop your swearing. And it's probably Shuttleworth. [15:43] nyet. working on it now. [15:43] Petskull: make a mountpoint then: sudo mkdir /media/nameofmountpoint [15:43] theadmin: its in the server guide I found, is it not used ni server too? [15:43] ActionParsnip: Servers have no X, so nope, you should use "loadkeys" [15:43] theadmin: I see [15:43] auronandace, stay with me here... don't miss the point.. [15:44] usr13: ok. now what? [15:44] <_cb> rcmaehl am getting ##security :Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services. What do I need to do? [15:44] allballs: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade [15:44] Petskull: what is your point? [15:44] theadmin, go tell him I need to see him [15:44] !register | _cb [15:44] Petskull: Heh, as if one can ever reach the guy xD [15:44] _cb: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [15:44] _cb: register your nick [15:44] usr13: you realize then your instructions do differ from the page you referred me to. [15:44] auronandace, that they changed the easy option for mounting fs's on boot [15:44] <_cb> ok thanks. [15:45] Petskull: Please stop your random swearing, this is a support channel, not a... complaining channel [15:45] allballs: Did you do it? [15:45] Petskull: easy option? [15:45] LjL, weird, right? :( This is a computer from the time when windows XP released ;) [15:45] heh- point taken [15:45] usr13: in progress. [15:45] Petskull: maybe it didn't like your capitilization of the mount point? [15:45] melvincv: well, i guess it's *possible* it's too old to have sensors, however sensors have been around for a long time now [15:45] theadmin, I'm swearing? [15:45] Petskull: lol, someone should make #ubuntu-complains, there's a lot to complain about recently ;) [15:46] heheh [15:46] lol, yeah [15:46] Petskull: But yeah, "kick in the balls" is sort of a swear, don't you think? [15:46] allballs: If and when it finishes successfully, do this: sudo do-release-upgrade [15:46] bastidrazor, nah- it use to allow you to type in a mountpoint, now it only lets you choose one from a dropdown [15:47] ok ok, I haven't said anything since [15:47] usr13: yep. [15:47] yep what>? [15:47] anyway- when you tell the ubuntu installer to use something as ntfs, now it only lets you choose '/dos' or '/windows' [15:47] can anyone tell me how to run an executable text file from a command, so i can put it as a GNOME menu item [15:47] yep == that is what I will do. [15:48] Ok very well. [15:48] Tixos: /path/to/whatever/the/filename/is [15:48] didnt work [15:48] Tixos: Is it marked as executable? [15:48] Tixos: depends on the type of executable file [15:48] Failed to execute child process "/" (No such file or directory) [15:48] i removed my path [15:48] Tixos: Waht command did you use? [15:48] its 'Mantra' browser [15:49] *What [15:49] if i double click the file it works [15:49] "Mantra Security Toolkit - Gandiva" is an executable text file. [15:49] 'Run' [15:49] Tixos: Ahem, you need to kinda escape the spaces [15:49] Tixos: symlink the file into /usr/bin [15:49] I *do* like that it asks you the config question during the install instead of before it [15:49] smart [15:49] Tixos: Make sure you put the path in quotes if it has weird characters like those [15:49] Thank you, Boot-Repair worked fine. [15:49] Tixos: The tap key is your friend [15:49] even though it only saves like 2 minutes [15:50] you lost me ...

[15:51] KM0201: Well, the point is still there, the quotes are the point [15:51] theadmin: i know, i was teasing you.. :) [15:52] Tixos: Oh, ok, you got it then. [15:52] usr13: like theadmin said, it was the spaces, so i renamed to singluar words + dirs and its fine [15:52] Tixos: You could have just used the quotes [15:52] hey guys how i can reenable the ubuntu on boot OS detection ? [15:52] soo how is everyone? [15:52] or i could have quoted like he pointed out === CluelessPerson is now known as Clueless_AWAY [15:52] there was a flag somewhere in init.d/ [15:52] i know but i had already done it :P [15:52] but ... i cat remember where it is [15:52] !ot | D_russ [15:52] D_russ: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[15:54] is there any way we can simulate the 'middle click of Mouse' with keyboard? [15:55] D_russ: just go ahead and ask the actual question. [15:55] nixmaniack: Exactly what is it you want to accomplish? [15:55] usr13, the middle click paste function [15:55] nixmaniack: What exactly is your situation? Do you have a mouse? If so, what kind? [15:56] nixmaniack: is it just a two button mouse? [15:56] !away [15:56] Please do not use noisy away messages and nicks in Ubuntu channels. It is annoying and unnecessary.

See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines» [15:56] well my mouse and keyboard dont work for 3-5 minutes after a restart. never fals always a 3-5 minute delay before i can use either after a restart. [15:56] Hello! [15:57] I wanted to know how well Ubuntu would run on a Toshiba Satellite 1115-S103 [15:57] usr13, no, it's 3 button, but i need it sometimes when i select something from somewhere and get on keyboard and type and paste without going to mouse [15:57] If I'm not mistaken, it has 512MB of RAM [15:57] nixmaniack: If you are copying from and to GUI apps, you can use Ctrl-c and Ctrl-v [15:57] D_russ, wow... no idea! I'd try reinstalling [15:57] but that's me [15:57] WinCamXP, The best way is to try it from the Live CD [15:57] try it and see wincamxp [15:57] hi there.. [15:57] usr13, that i know!! but i use both buffers of pasting [15:57] nixmaniack: I see. [15:58] my internet was just out though, dont know how well downloading an entire ISO of ubuntu would work [15:58] WinCamXP, Or perhaps install it inside windows [15:58] is there a way to reinstall and keep all current apps and settings? [15:58] WinCamXP, google it? That's what I do. "ubuntu on Toshiba SuperCrap3i6" [15:58] nixmaniack: ... and I do to sometimes, but I use the mouse to do it. [15:58] D_russ: what mouse and keyboard are you using? [15:58] usr13, so is there any way of simulating it? I had seen this simulated in Blender but don't know how they did it [15:58] hmm, I read on the forums, sometime before '08 these two guys had toshiba laptops and had button artifacting issues, they turned something off in their xorg config to fix it [15:59] nixmaniack: I use a combination of the mouse's middle button, (the scroll wheel) and Ctrl-c and Ctrl-v [15:59] would this still apply 3 years later? === _cb is now known as _cb_afk [15:59] auronandace: MS wireless usb mouse and an hp usb KB. [15:59] WinCamXP: We can't predict the future [15:59] WinCamXP: perhaps not. My x505 works fine [15:59] well, I don't know really [15:59] * Petskull can! [15:59] D_russ: both are wireless? [15:59] * Petskull hunts down his crystal ball [15:59] no keyboard is wired [16:00] hmm, also, this laptop uses a PCI or whatever card for my wireless network, should that work? [16:00] WinCamXP? [16:00] its certainly not a very new one [16:00] WinCamXP, just torrent the ISO with uTorrent, burn it, and try it [16:00] who knows [16:00] a pcmcia card? [16:00] Are there instructions for putting the UBUNTU install CD onto a SD card anywhere? I'd be doing it from an OSX laptop [16:00] it goes into the side of the laptop... [16:00] D_russ: hmm, the keyboard shouldn't take 3-5 mins to kick in [16:00] I am using Ubuntu 11.04. I recently installed updates after few months. When I boot, after showing the ubuntu logo, it gets stuck on a blank screen. I have an ATI 5430 HD mobility Radeon graphic card. I removed nvidia common package (which also removed ubuntu-desktop) thinking it might be causing a conflict. What should I do? [16:00] raise your hand is you have a Toshiba 115-S103 [16:00] * Petskull looks around [16:00] * WinCamXP raises hand [16:01] actually its three 1's [16:01] auronandace: the keyboard is wired [16:01] usr13: doing release-upgrade now -- wish me luck. [16:01] heh- it's ok [16:01] D_russ: i know, you said, thats why i said it shouldn't take 3-5 mins to kick in [16:02] D_russ, hit it with a hammer [16:02] need to borrow a hammer? [16:02] Hey guys, I'm trying to mount a filesystem with sshfs, but I'm getting permission denied on /dev/fuse - The permissions are fine, and my user is part of the fuse group. Any suggestions? [16:02] that's a weird problem.. [16:02] it was a gift from my grandparents....it was loaded with malware and crap, went at the speed of a pentium 2 trying to run a minecraft server even after cleaning [16:02] nixmaniack: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/oneiric/man8/mouseemu.8.html [16:02] D_russ: tried using different usb ports? [16:02] allballs: good luck! :) [16:02] hey is anybody available to help me with my english it need just few seconds [16:02] its a ubuntu issue. its a dualboot machine and the KB & mouse work perfectly on windows. [16:02] james333james: try ##english please [16:02] thankx [16:03] usr13, oh great!! thanks a lot.. [16:03] this is freenode, there's a channel for everything [16:03] ....everything. [16:03] I am using Ubuntu 11.04. I recently installed updates after few months. When I boot, after showing the ubuntu logo, it gets stuck on a blank screen. I have an ATI 5430 HD mobility Radeon graphic card. I removed nvidia common package (which also removed ubuntu-desktop) thinking it might be causing a conflict. What should I do? [16:03] someone suggested i reinstall natty. can that be done and keep my current settings and apps [16:03] D_russ: Back up your home directory [16:03] WinCamXP, I've install ubuntu on some pretty crap hardware before [16:03] try it- let us know [16:03] dirty19: im not a very good person with that, but try booting into a livecd or into the command line and installing ubuntu-desktop with sudo apt-get [16:04] yeah- D_russ try that first!! [16:04] a livecd [16:04] so back up that directory and then after reinstall, just drag and drop and overwrite? [16:04] D_russ: Quite so. [16:04] tell me if you still have the issue there [16:04] D_russ: unles syou want system settings saved also.. then it gets harder [16:05] what key did old toshibas use to access the bios during startup? [16:05] WinCamXP, a hammer [16:05] D_russ: If you have your /home directory on a separate partition, you can just install and leave it un-formatted and use same user name and you'll have it all there when youre done. [16:05] try f2 or del [16:05] system settings such as? [16:05] or f12 [16:05] WinCamXP: a google search will find that out quickly [16:05] D_russ: pretty much, but that won't reinstall your apps, all your /home directory is, is configuration files... so say you've set up an app (Xchat for example).. for some custom fonts, etc.. when you reinstall ubuntu, reinstall xchat, then copy xchats configuration file into your new home directory, and xchat will be like it was before you reinstalled ubuntu (not sure that makes sense, but thast the best i can explain it) [16:05] hmm, heres a linux mint 9 cd [16:05] D_russ: those wontbackup what apps you have installed. but you can make a list of what apps you have installed [16:06] uhmmm [16:06] apparently i have two lm9 cds [16:06] D_russ, but you DON'T want to save your settings! your settings are the problem!! [16:06] ohh i see. the setting is what was a PITA. lol [16:06] (hopefully) [16:06] WinCamXP: mint isn't supported here [16:06] im just stating that i found that on my shelf [16:07] WinCamXP: I had that package (ubuntu-desktop) even when I was facing the problem of the blank screen. There might be a package I updated which is causing the conflict? How can I identify? [16:07] D_russ: yeah, if you're having a big issue... i'd back up the settings for specific programs hat are not related to the problem.. and then just use acompletely new home [16:07] im going to look for the ubuntu cds [16:07] Petskull: you have a point. lol [16:07] heh [16:07] hey anybody can check if my english is correct it need just few seconds please [16:07] dirty19: try downloading the *tabs out*...fglrx driver? [16:07] james333james, pm me [16:07] james333james: say what? [16:08] james333james: looks good so far [16:08] james333james, It's erfect! [16:08] james333james, It's perfect! [16:08] james333james: please take it to ##english: /join ##english [16:08] i already tried on english channel but nodoby was available to help me [16:08] and to back up setting for specific programs would be example: .thunderbird or .firefox folders? [16:09] then try #finnish [16:09] james333james: this still isn't the appropriate place [16:09] [16:09] h00k: you are right but i need just 2 seconds of attention anyway someone is helping me in PVT so i will not bother the channel anymore [16:09] D_russ: affirmative [16:09] james333james: thanks :) [16:09] james333james, try a spoken english course, why ask here? :\ [16:09] D_russ: assuming those apps are not related to your problem. [16:10] hello [16:10] the newest livecd i have for ubuntu is probably 10.10, should i try that anyway? [16:10] cool. i think a usb install might be my best bet, CD installs seem to be a bit dicey. [16:11] i seriously doubt that thing supports booting from usb [16:11] one of my dev machine (has an external address) and is connected to the router [16:11] this machine right here is sooo much newer than that craptop and even this can't boot from usb [16:11] I think the routing table of the dev machine is messed up [16:11] because, it can't ping the router [16:11] i have read that HAL causes mouse and KB issues somewhere while googling. and that HAL is not needed. anyone confirm this? [16:12] !hal [16:12] hal is in the process of being deprecated. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Halsectomy and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_abstraction_layer for more info. [16:12] bartj: What address does it have? And what address does the router have? [16:13] router: 192.168.0.1 and dev m/c: 192.168.0.10 [16:13] james333james wanted some QC on a note he wrote, not english class [16:13] usually the router is 192.168.1.1 from my experience... [16:13] no biggy [16:13] the dev and the router also have two different external IP addresses [16:14] bartj: Well certainly they do, but are they both in the same subnet? (Look to see what the netmask is) [16:14] dirty19: have you tried using the fglrx drivers? according to this post from '08, that's what you use for newer ati cards [16:14] i'm running 10.04 and i'm wanting to set up clamav... the version in the main repo is too old, and the ppa doesn't seem to have a new clamav [16:14] so where cani find the ubuntu small talk chanell? [16:15] D_russ: #ubuntu-offtopic [16:15] josePHPagoda: find the website for that program [16:15] it points me to the ppa [16:15] thanks theadmin. [16:15] might be like super tux kart, the ubuntu repos dont actually have the newest version === sysadamin_ is now known as sysadamin [16:15] which doesn't contain what is needed, I also checked the official ubuntu docs and those don't help [16:15] yeah... i use getdeb and playdeb for that stuff [16:18] clamav is supposeadly in the backports, but it seems like the ubuntu team has been a bit slow on keeping it up to date [16:19] what exactly is clamav? [16:19] WinCamXP: antivirus for linux [16:19] an STD [16:19] "av" sounds like "antivirus" [16:19] oh ok [16:19] it's an antivirus [16:19] yeah, an antivirus [16:19] does it look for linux viruss or windows viruses? [16:19] both [16:19] damnit, you guys ruined it [16:19] usr13: perfect -- thanks a bunch for your insight. my upgrade process is now complete. [16:19] more of a virus scanner, no? [16:19] we're using it for windows viruses and such [16:19] running a fileserver? [16:20] WinCamXP: I'm not sure if I have used those drivers. I'll install them from the AMD site and try. Thanks. [16:20] alright- ya'll take it easy! [16:20] im not sure if the amd site has linux drivers [16:20] go ahead and check [16:20] * WinCamXP will be back momentarily [16:21] WinCamXP: it's kind of a fileserver [16:21] more of a webserver though [16:21] i see [16:21] it's just frustrating, because debian (which is "older) has updated packages :-( [16:21] ubuntu just seems to be dragging their feet [16:22] i wish there was a username much like this one, except that pertains to linux and doesn't sound retarded like AndroidCamUbuntu [16:22] josePHPagoda: it uses what is known and tested to be good, packages are updated on merit, not just because a new one is out [16:22] LinCamUb? [16:22] ew. no. [16:22] ActionParsnip: the trouble is, the current tested one doesn't update [16:22] so it has 0 virus definitions [16:23] it's stable, but won't ever find anything [16:23] josePHPagoda: if you mean clamav there is a clamav ppa with new defs and engine === derp is now known as Trololololololol [16:23] google "clamav ubuntu" [16:23] the ppa doesn't have the new clamav :-( [16:23] i've already got it added === Trololololololol is now known as Trololololololo [16:23] that's a rename Trololololololo :-P [16:23] it sounds likely that the ubuntu clamav team has gone to lunch [16:24] if i were to put ubuntu server on a pentium 4, how well would a minecraft server run on it? i would assume not very well [16:24] josePHPagoda: report a bug is all I can recommend, or try a different solution [16:25] hey i have a machine running ubuntu server which freezes if i try to shut it down or reboot it . any suggestions? [16:25] WinCamXP: I'd ask in a minecraft channel [16:25] WinCamXP: Indeed it'd run quite badly [16:25] WinCamXP: depends a lot on RAM as well [16:25] it probably has like 1GB [16:26] doesnt really matter, my friend's father is bringing home an actual server machine running OpenSUSE anyway today, I'll SSH into it and use that [16:26] (i doubt anything will be done, the current version lost support in april of 2010) :-( [16:26] I have run minecraft on an amazon EC2 micro server [16:26] it ran but it was fairly laggy [16:26] whats the specs of that? [16:27] i guess custom compiling is the only option [16:27] guys, i have big problem [16:27] im not sure about the processor but it has 613MB of RAM [16:27] also, about that pentium 4, would a CLASSIC server (MCForge) run acceptably? I mean, all it really does it block updates, player movements, and chat, plus the commands and stuff, not very much else at all [16:27] I make mistake and move /usr/bin to ~/Desktop/bin and I cant move it back [16:28] if i try any command it says [16:28] what is the clock on the P4? [16:28] bash: /usr/bin/python: Directory or File doesn't exists [16:28] I'm running Ubuntu 11.04, classic desktop. When for example I'm using firefox and have my mouse pointed at a tab, it brings a "tooltip" with white background without text. I would like to see what it says. [16:28] not sure, probably 1.5GHz [16:28] what can i do to fix this? [16:28] run a ~/Desktop/bin/mv [16:28] Pooky5: reinstall? [16:28] to try to move it back [16:29] you need to specify full path to the mv to move it back [16:29] josePHPagoda: there is problem there is no mv command [16:29] Pooky5: sudo update-alternatives --config python [16:29] can't use sudo [16:29] same error [16:30] inside of ~/Desktop/bin/ [16:30] Pooky5: what about from root recovery mode? [16:30] Pooky5: ~/Dekstop/bin/mv ~/Desktop/bin /usr/ [16:30] there is not a mv executable? [16:30] shure shure [16:30] i try it [16:30] ~/Desktop/bin/mv [16:30] oh beat me to it [16:31] Pooky5: add /home/user/Desktop/bin to your path in .bashrc? [16:31] Pooky5: More like... PATH=$HOME/Desktop/bin sudo mv ~/Desktop/bin /usr/ [16:31] That's better. [16:31] hello to everyone!!! [16:31] hi fVckingmania! [16:31] hi [16:31] I need some help with postfix restrictions!!! [16:31] fVckingmania: there is a #postfix channel [16:32] uff thanks guys :) [16:32] Pooky5: No problem. [16:32] Pooky5: Don't do silly things again. [16:32] bastidrazor, ups sorry I didn't know [16:32] fVckingmania: no worries. good luck [16:32] theadmin: i want move only one file not whole directory, just miss click [16:32] or miss tape [16:33] does anyone know why my server might be freezing when it tries to power off? [16:33] I did it finally, installed ubuntu on a 2nd hard drive [16:34] Pooky5: My suggestion is to use a livecd to move the stuff back [16:34] Pooky5: Would be the easiest [16:35] I'm running Ubuntu 11.04, classic desktop. When for example I'm using firefox and have my mouse pointed at a tab, it brings a "tooltip" with white background without text. I would like to see what it says. [16:37] Duelisti: are you using google toolbar?

[16:59] osse: any of them say "LISTENING" [16:59] No [17:00] Maybe the VNC protocol doesn't like looping like this [17:00] osse: no the server isnt started [17:01] hello everyone [17:01] Are there instructions for putting the UBUNTU install CD onto a SD card anywhere?

[17:07] dean: format it as ext4? [17:07] Kingsy: If you can get to a terminal, try the following command: "metacity --replace &disown" [17:07] julius__: Just type mail at the cli [17:07] theadmin: what would you suggest? I literally havent changed anything.. strange that it would just Break [17:07] and read your mail. [17:07] usr13, its not installed by default [17:07] dan___, My xp parition or Ubuntu? [17:07] o [17:07] theadmin: that worked... [17:07] hmm what did that do? and what was the problem? [17:07] Kingsy: Great. That launched the Gnome's standard window manager, Metacity. [17:07] dean: the XP partition. I dont think that will merge them though [17:07] Kingsy: The problem was no window manager running [17:08] Kingsy: You might have configured your system to use Compiz and removed it [17:08] see this one http://imagebin.org/173734 & this one http://imagebin.org/173736 [17:08] theadmin: so am I going to have to do this every time I boot? [17:08] tell me which one is true [17:08] dean: looks like you could do it with Gparted but I have no experience in using it [17:08] These screenshots are from same computer within one or two seconds [17:09] dan___, What I am looking to do is wipe the xp partition and reclaim the hd space without having to reinstall completely. I can use gparted but I don't know whether doing that will mess up grub because I installed xp then Ubuntu alongside [17:09] usr13, the one from mailutils showed it...thx [17:09] Waiting for description [17:09] whats the problem where the cursor seems to drift off click points on a dell laptop/touchpad 10.04 ... anyone know? [17:09] its irritating [17:09] I am using only pidgin & mozilla [17:09] speaking of compiz, I installed compiz-settings-manager and checked the cube, but I still don't have it, am I missing something? haven't tried since AiGLX [17:10] theadmin: anyways.. thanks [17:10] hey guys, im new to linux, i have used windows all my life. i wondering about downloading software. programs are kept on repositories, in this case the software centre right? so how do you get your program on there? [17:10] please see following screenshots http://imagebin.org/173734 & this one http://imagebin.org/173736 [17:11] sogeking99: Your program? [17:11] say for example i made my own graphics editors, how would i make it available of the software centre [17:11] sogeking99, It installs it when you click on install [17:11] tell me which one is true [17:11] sogeking99: sogeking99 well you have to be an "program developer" and get your program acceppted into the main package manager. [17:11] I think it has to be approved by a committee somewhere sogeking99 [17:11] sogeking99: Oh, you need to contact the Ubuntu MOTU, or put it on Launchpad. [17:11] dean: i think if you formatted the XP partition then GRUB would survive but i am not certain. another solution i can think of is to copy the ubuntu install to another drive then format the drive you are using then copy it back but that may be impractical [17:11] sogeking99: you can have your own repository thoug. And link to it. so ppl can ad it, and download programs from it. [17:11] I see in a log that gltext invoked oom-killer, any idea how to trace why that happened?

[17:12] yes [17:13] oh right. because i've not seen programs that come with installers yet. only things on the repositories through sudo apt-get install GIMP for example, or source which your meant to compile [17:13] dean: this might help but i dont know how advanced you are or your understanding of filesystems http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_resizing_ext3_partitions === Robert_ is now known as Guest49076 [17:14] hey guys just a quick question. when I do du -sh I get a total dir size of 6.8GB but when I do properties in nautilus I get a dir size of 7.3GB why is it not matching up?

Is there any possible way to remotely tell it to skip? sshd is not up yet, so.. anything? [17:15] zarus: you could probably write something in bash to tell you to do it fairly easily [17:15] zarus: while true ; do sleep 45m ; xmessage "DRINK WATER!!!!" ; done [17:15] Hmmmm [17:15] Okay [17:16] hello [17:16] Perhaps if I used gparted wiped my xp partition and then used grub update in terminal that will work?

I had this same issue with 11.04 [19:17] soreau: do you think my computer can handle it? from what you've seen about my graphic card? I might have installed it wrong when I was new to ubuntu [19:17] so lets pretend im still on 11.04 [19:17] mosdef100200: does apt-cache policy show that it's available in some repository you have in your sources.list ?

[19:20] rymannphilippe: #jolicloud possibly [19:20] rymannphilippe, not any channel I can see try the FF addon flash aid. [19:20] ActionParsnip: probably not..

[19:28] vacho: See --no-same-owner in tar --help [19:29] dell xps17 L702x [19:29] vacho: i believe you can set the perms to be preserved with extract options [19:29] vacho: See the example commands at the top (of tar --help) === Cam_ is now known as Cam [19:30] A Intel pentium 4 with 2.8Ghz With latest ubuntu doesnt feel to much of smooth view.

Have you checked to see if any process is using too many resources? (using top in terminal) [19:31] ok [19:31] ok, I'll give that a try. [19:31] dr`venom_: you want the dell_wmi kernel module loaded [19:31] larno: all i can suggest is tweak xorg.conf you may also want to read: less /var/log/Xorg.0.log [19:31] Trying to figure out where to check if i am running unity or not. [19:31] Iǜe checked and not running unity. [19:32] erikandre: ps ax|grep unity|grep -v grep [19:32] Cause then there would be a fanzy start menu [19:32] erikandre: ps ax|grep compiz|grep -v grep [19:32] gompiz is running top tells me [19:32] pgrep compiz [19:32] erikandre: ps -ef | grep unity | grep -v grep [19:32] I'm quite new to linux... Do I get dell_wmi from the software center? [19:32] hi [19:32] pgrep unity :) [19:32] ActionParsnip: but xorg.cong has nothing to do with it. it clearly says No screens found. the same thing happens when I try to manually load the nvidia driver [19:33] im Ubuntu Linux user [19:33] llutz: shhh ;) [19:33] ActionParsnip: it doesn't recognize my card [19:33] dr`venom_: it should come with the kernel.. what version of ubuntu are you running [19:33] 11.10 beta2 [19:33] and i need help about my network card [19:33] larno: the xorg.conf defines the display and the screens so has everything to do with it [19:33] soreau: 1568 ? Ss 0:00 /bin/sh -c /usr/bin/compiz-decorator 7610 ? Sl 0:09 /usr/bin/compiz [19:34] ActionParsnip: it is already defined to load the nvidia driver [19:34] !11.10| dr`venom_ [19:34] dr`venom_: Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) will be the fifteenth release of Ubuntu.

(by running metacity --replace from Alt+F2 run dialog. Switch back to compiz with compiz --replace) [19:34] Can somebody tell me how to install an icon set to Kubuntu? I'm brand new to Linux. I already downloaded the icon set I think I want, but I would rather use an automated downloader/installer [19:34] ActionParsnip: but it says no screens found which means that my device is not recognized as nvidia card [19:34] larno: then its not quite right or it would work, hence me saying to tweak it [19:35] ActionParsnip: you can't tweak the xorg.conf to recognize something if the driver doesn't support it [19:35] larno: What does lspci|grep VGA say? [19:35] soreau: A new feeling ;) <3 [19:35] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GF106 [GeForce GT 555M] (rev a1) [19:35] larno: if there isn't the settings the driver needs to run then it won't load and therefore, no screens [19:36] ok I'll go to that channel thanks [19:36] larno: you are running optimus [19:36] soreau: How to set to metacity default? [19:36] larno: oh jeez is it one of those dual gpu monstrosities? [19:36] larno: do not install the nvidia module [19:36] erikandre: It could be a compiz plugin using too many resources or that your graphics driver is less than perfect.. which graphics driver are you using? (preferably you want to be using the default radeon, not the installable proprietary driver) [19:36] SIFTU: I've said in the beginning that it's laptop with hybrid graphics === jthomas_ is now known as TheDracle [19:37] how do I check the filesize of a directory and all it's sub directories??? [19:37] soreau: using the priprop from ati [19:37] larno: ok i didnt see that.. the nvidia drivers for linux do not support it [19:37] I don't need the GPU switching, I just want the nvidia card to work [19:37] erikandre: You should remove it and use the radeon driver instead [19:37] Can someone tell me where I can change my icon set in Kubuntu? I'm new to Linux. [19:37] Okey. So how to i get back to gompiz default? [19:37] Larno: ive never seen a success story with that. All i know is its a pain and that bumblebee is a project to make it work. [19:38] larno: yeah bumblebee is the attempt to make it work [19:38] SIFTU: I know and I don't want to use baumblee or anything similar [19:38] larno: then if you dont have a option in the bios, too bad [19:38] larno: Ok so you have hybrid graphics. Look in your bios to see if you can disable the intel card [19:38] MTPrower: system settings and search for icon, it will show you what to click [19:38] ActionParsnip, SIFTU: so the only way to activate nvidia is via bumblebee or the other iron something? [19:38] larno: what laptop? [19:38] ActionParsnip: where is "system settings"? [19:38] I can't disable it [19:38] it's asus n53sv [19:38] ActionParsnip: found it. Sorry [19:39] disabling via bios is only possible on lenovo laptops if I'm not mistaking [19:39] larno: yes, as most hybrid graphics laptop pipe the nvidia output through thr intel to display.. so quite often you cant disable the intel [19:39] Larno: i have no idea. I'm avoiding that nonsense like Paris Hilton avoids talent [19:39] larno: scrutinize your bios settings. the option may be hidden in an unlikely name [19:39] ActionParsnip: good move.. wish I did [19:39] soreau, it's not there trust me ;) [19:40] larno: Then you are screwed ;) [19:40] larno: with kernel 3.0 the intel performance is quite good [19:40] SIFTU: it's definately better than before but dash still lags and the alt-tab switching is to slow to start up [19:41] larno: what kernel are you running? [19:41] the default one on beta2 [19:41] Surprised my battery has lasted so long [19:41] larno: the [19:41] SIFTU the default one on beta2 [19:41] ActionParsnip ?? [19:41] quit [19:41] can i reinstall ubuntu and save content from /home/ HDD ? :p [19:41] lol [19:42] larno: not sure.. dont run it.. but I have run kernel 3.0 since it came out and have no problems with the intel anymore [19:42] Then you are supported in #ubuntu+1 not here, larno [19:42] ActionParsnip, sorry didn't know that === Calinou_ is now known as Calinou [19:42] thanks [19:42] larno: this is for the stable releases, pre-release in #ubuntu+1 === GNUdog_ is now known as GNUdog [19:43] soreau: i thinking of buying this ASUS G74SX 17.3" Full HD 120Hz 3D [19:43] soreau: I hope you'll lol at me now, but I installed compiz and everything is fine.

[20:42] scales11: might be worth taking to any freetds forums that exist [20:43] need a little help, here is the error message when apt-get installing samba... http://pastebin.com/f1fC3C1b [20:43] I am running a ubuntu VM as a development env. which is quite old (hardy heron). I just installed hg; but it's at v0.8.5. What would be the way to get recent debs for this version of ubuntu? [20:44] \ [20:44] tensorpudding: i am looking through the ubuntu ones now, i cannot get tsql -S server.domain.com -U username to work, i keep getting "Msg 20009,...unable to connect: Adaptive server is unavailable or does not exist" [20:44] allowoverride, it looks like you "trunc'd" off the actual error messages [20:45] oh [20:45] lemme check [20:46] ok, http://pastebin.com/Z8yWsSPf updated full message [20:46] sorry [20:46] allowoverride, can you currently run "sudo apt-get -f install" successfully? [20:46] no, not -f [20:46] just apt-get install [20:46] shall i retry with -f ? [20:46] same result... [20:47] allowoverride, The error output suggests you try "sudo cp /usr/share/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf" then "sudo dpkg --configure -a". Have you? [20:47] nope [20:47] ill try [20:47] brb [20:48] allowoverride, -f is for fix, "sudo apt-get -f install" is a general/non-specific attempt to fix broken installations [20:48] k [20:49] !pm Logan [20:50] zykotick9: okie, that worked, no -f, installed, it was smb.conf missing from /etc/samba, interesting. thanks [20:50] !pm > lukez you need to use a | or > to send bot messages [20:50] zykotick9: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:50] What do I need to do to allow me to run wireshark from a non-root account? [20:50] hey, can anybody reccomend a terminal based web browser? [20:50] i would think it would insert that conf, apparently not [20:50] petester: lynx or links2 [20:50] cool thanks aj00200 [20:50] whats the quick way after installing of course, to get EFS running on ubuntu server? cmds thanks! [20:51] Hi yall [20:51] I've somehow ruined my ubuntu installation. How do I reinstall it without deleting vista? [20:52] coilbucker: you will probably need to use the advanced install mode to overwrite your ubuntu partition [20:52] coilbucker, how did you install ubuntu? Did you using Wubi (the install, inside windows) or a physical dual-boot with separate partitions? [20:52] coilbucker: thats correct, (what aj00200 said) [20:52] * KM0201 always forgets bout wubi-voodoo [20:53] By advanced install mode, do you mean the text based one? [20:53] coilbucker: no, there is a gui but you will need to identify the hard drive partition [20:53] coilbucker how did you install it? [20:53] hey all , only when query can i expect to see gnome 3 on ubuntu 11.10 [20:54] urlin2u, other option is ofcourse that MAC:s kernel doesnt even support -t vfat filesystem :D well next time ;) [20:54] Oh, I made a dual boot. [20:54] reachingperfecti: probably november [20:54] anyone know how I can copy over large files (5GB+) to my external hd without running into the error, file too large, etc. [20:54] nac-godfather, don't use fat as the file system [20:54] The question is Ubuntu or Windows 7 ? [20:55] adminzbigniew: i guess that depends on what you need to do... for me, it's a no brainer.(not necessarily ubuntu, but Linux) [20:55] i think 11.10 is on unity again [20:55] reachingperfecti: it will have a working gnome 3 in the repos however [20:56] adminzbigmore for what purpose? [20:57] New question Ubuntu or Kubuntu ? [20:58] adminzbigniew: in any case the questions are not on topic for a support channel [20:59] is there a way I can navigate nautilus back / forward with my mouse button? I know I can change the keyboard shortcuts but not to the mouse buttons... (ubuntu 10.10) [21:01] coilbucker then get ubcd which saved my butt and a few hundreds dollars it as a few hundred apps for , testing, probing , and fixing till your little hearts content .... Well get it and then go to live mode and delete it, that simple... [21:02] Hi all, wonder if anyone knows about a problem getting to [eu-west-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com], I'm getting apt-get timeouts from an ubuntu server in the EU when it tries to access that server. [21:03] hello [21:03] hi jerome [21:03] howdy [21:05] coilbucker heres the link [21:05] www.ultimatebootcd.com/download.html [21:05] hey guys, is it possible to run Gnome without Compiz? [21:06] I am running hardy heron, I want to install the latest python and mercurial versions. What is the best way to do it? [21:06] Cant print to my Lexmark T630 from 11.04 on my 64 big machine. Worked fine with my last version. Set it to print via an older machine, but a pain nevertheless [21:07] VampsDaBeast: select the (no effects) desktop when you log in, it will use metacity (or if this is a version older than 11.04, set visual effects to none in the appearance settings) [21:07] VampsDaBeast, alt+f2 then run "metacity --replace" should turn compiz off. [21:08] Does anyone know of a way to force the apt utility to fetch data from the US servers? They all work from a box in the US, but my EU box gets timeouts when it accesses a different server in that region. [21:08] Does not synpatics offer to select which servers to load from? [21:08] David__, change the mirror in software sources [21:09] I didn't understand the "synpatics" reference. [21:09] edinny good luck I hate 11.04 cox of all that extra work thats not needed [21:09] and urlin2u, how do I access "software sources" I'm not following 100% yet.. [21:09] Cuz* [21:09] hi all ;) [21:10] trism, i'm running 11.04, I'm tryin to figure out why after a patch to Hero's Of Newerth all i get is a black screen.. forums suggest disabling Compiz.. but after just tryin.. it didnt work [21:11] Hi rajvi [21:11] David__, in synaptic-settings-repositories-downpoad from [21:11] hello all [21:12] hey all [21:12] Can you help me understand what synaptic is? I'm only so-so on linux administration [21:12] Hi [21:12] !synaptic | David__ [21:12] David__: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto === jrib is now known as Guest75052 [21:12] ah yep, just pulled that up [21:12] Larte hi all [21:12] How do I reinstall my ubuntu on a laptop easiest? I dont want to save any of the files on the laptop? [21:12] lol [21:12] thanks, I'll go through it, looks like what I needed, I appreciate it! [21:12] * KM0201 thinks Guest75052 is sneaky. [21:12] I need quick help on a ubuntu server (I messed up...) [21:12] David__: synaptic does the same thing as the Ubuntu Software Center - just a different interface [21:12] ...For some reason Ubantu has stopped recognizing my CRT and now it just says Unknown and it's stuck at 1024x768 at 60Hz (this is a CRT so imagine how annoying that must be on your eyes)... and i'm using an 82845GL and scrolling and moving windows is pretty laggy and its annoying [21:12] morning all [21:13] Help [21:13] yeats: that and synaptic doesn't suck. [21:13] how do you start the http daemon in ubuntu, or at leats check its running? [21:13] Lorenzo: what did you do to server? (you might try asking in ubuntu-server) [21:13] I see, so no apt-get's and the like... === Guest75052 is now known as jrib [21:13] KM0201: heh ;-) [21:13] Oh, but this is a command line server [21:13] no UI... [21:13] no, just a stupid client [21:13] How do I reinstall my ubuntu on a laptop easiest? I dont want to save any of the files on the laptop? [21:13] David__: ah - then... [21:13] jrib: :) [21:13] al_nz1: sudo service apache restart [21:13] !aptitude | David__ [21:13] David__: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide [21:13] David__: then you'll need to use apt-get or aptitude [21:14] al_nz1: sudo service apache2 restart [21:14] what libs I should install to cross-compile x86_64 -> x86? [21:14] changing the mirror on apt-get is my goal now I think, but never done anything like that before [21:14] I've make an error on a script: chown -R lorenzo:lorenzo /* [21:14] RicardoMontalban I'M guessing unity try to play with it to get it to work [21:14] David__: aptitude is somewhere between the CLI and GUI, so it might be a good optoin [21:14] mkanyicy: that worked (apache2) [21:14] Lorenzo: owned [21:15] htlm, i'm using Gnome because I hate Unity and it says i dont have the hardware for it [21:15] I'll play with aptitude, I have always used apt-get to build the server [21:15] !yay | al_nz1 [21:15] al_nz1: Glad you made it! :-) [21:15] Lorenzo: that is gonna be a ery very very tough one to undo [21:15] Hi [21:15] ubottu: yeah, this software needs a http daemon, it talks about service httpd , but i guess apache will do? [21:15] al_nz1: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:15] Larte, you can overwrite the old install [21:15] David__: in that case, pick a URL from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors and substitute it for the one in /etc/apt/sources.list [21:16] I stopped it as soon as I realized... it has changed permission on bin boot dev etc home lib [21:16] aha, sources.list, I just saw that in some doc... ok, I'll look at that, sounds promising. Thanks yeats [21:16] just go through the normal install and select the partition it's on [21:16] Lorenzo: yeah, it's probably gonna be a lot easier to reinstall.. sorry.. be a bit mroe careful next time [21:17] al_nz1: ubbotu is not a person [21:17] plouffe_ ok so I just download the install.iso and run it again? [21:17] Can someone explain to me where programs should be installed (if I don't use apt-get, for instance)? Like, say a word processor or a game or something? (I am a recent Windows convert)... [21:17] Larte, yea [21:17] :((( [21:17] laanan: /usr/local/bin/ [21:17] Lorenzo: just think of it as another lesson in why people warn you to be careful as root ;-) [21:17] Larte, burn it to a disk, then boot from CD [21:17] laanan: or /opt (but I've never used that) [21:18] plouffe_ okeyokey thanks [21:18] laanan: Also you could put it in /home//bin but then only you can run it === nemsis_ is now known as nemsis [21:18] the script has a $variable got blank.... [21:18] laanan: use /usr/local/bin [21:18] Lorenzo: like i said, be more careful next time, this will be a good learning experience for you [21:19] what's my best bet for finding out about ubuntu one sync status? I've tried installing an applet but can't figure out how to install it :| Can't find anything useful on googl [21:19] What are GCC's 32-bit development libraries called in the package manager? [21:19] chown root isn't a good idea isn't it ? [21:20] nope [21:20] Lorenzo: no - there are many files that should not be owned by root [21:20] yes... I imagine... service users ? [21:21] Lorenzo: exactly [21:21] edbian, mkanyicy thanks [21:22] I've not yet restarted the server: how many probs to not booting at all ? [21:22] I have some questions about Clusters as i'm looking at building one for the fun of it. however throught all my research ive not been able to get some simple questions answerd is there anyone around that knows some about clusters? and debian? and that would perhaps have a few min to spare and maby get me looking in the right directions. [21:22] not debian sorry i mean ubuntu === yakeb is now known as yakeb-brb [21:22] so i'm in the process of setting up stuff on my new 64bit ubuntu and when trying to restart i get a lot of "tainted shutdown" or similar [21:22] NathanWW: why don't you just ask your question(s)? [21:23] NathanWW: someone may know - if not here, probably in #ubuntu-server [21:23] laanan: sure [21:24] this is so annoying, i cant figure out why my monitor is suddenly not detected and its just stuck at 1024x768 @ 60Hz [21:24] it used to list my monitor's name in gnome monitor settings [21:25] nvm [21:25] KM201: if I reboot it's dead ? [21:27] I am running Ubuntu under a virtual machine (Parallels). Moving away from Ubuntu (and back) will sometimes kill gnome window boarder (e.g., with window re-sizing). Is there a way to respawn gnome without loosing my login session? === r3pek_ is now known as r3pek [21:29] The live usb works and I've got a functioning ubuntu desktop. What do I do to the partitions again? [21:31] hola [21:32] hello [21:33] ls [21:33] hello? [21:33] hide! [21:33] lol [21:33] wow [21:34] If im here looking to join one of the art projects who do i talk to? [21:34] anyone know what to do to get ubuntu 10.10 to install on a dell inspiron m5010 -- there is an obvious problem (something to do with "acpi = off"?) ... [21:34] hi guys! i have two servers that i can access with ftp. one is a game server and the other is a web server. now, i need to set up a cron job that connects to the game server, finds the logs directory, and copies any new log files to a path on the web server, again, through ftp. is there some application that can already do this? === pothos_ is now known as pothos [21:34] hellfirex: someone involved with one of the art projects [21:35] rhin0: what's the problem? [21:35] bittyx-laptop: What is a game server? [21:35] hellfirex: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork?action=show&redirect=ArtworkTeam [21:35] @alkafoo i was in that channel i no one answered [21:35] bittyx-laptop: This doesn't make sense for many reasons. For example, you cannot automatically log in to things, you'd have to type your password. [21:35] it doesn't install on an inspiron m5010 straight away -- somebody sai dit does if acpi = off but I can't even get to a prompt [21:35] i'm just being lazy should investigate ... just thought someone would know [21:36] bittyx-laptop: so what's the problem? [21:36] edbian: of course you can [21:36] bittyx-laptop: you could set up NFS and rsync [21:36] alkafoo: how? [21:36] rhin0: what does it do? [21:36] just a black screen after initial purple loading screen [21:36] edbian: all sorts of ways [21:36] alkafoo: such as? [21:36] rhin0: can you hear the install disc spinning [21:37] edbian: keys [21:37] I've got the installer up in the live usb. How do I reinstall the os without accidentally erasing vista? [21:37] it does spin because it begins to boot [21:37] thank you [21:37] rhin0: does it keep spinning? [21:37] alkafoo: good point [21:37] coilbucker: ...reinstall? [21:37] no idea [21:37] this the answer and questions channel? [21:37] hellfirex: sure [21:37] i'll stick around keep trying it alkafoo [21:37] Reinstall. I've screwed up my ubuntu desktop somehow and now it won't boot correctly. [21:37] rhin0, if you use ati/nvidia check "/msg ubottu nomodeset" [21:37] hellfirex: finding a mailing list or list of project members might be more helpful to you [21:37] edbian: sorry, i wasn't clear enough. basically, i have two remote servers that i can log into via FTP. i'd like to sync them, copying anything new that appears on one server (in a particular path of course) to a place on the second server. [21:38] bittyx-laptop: can you ssh into them? [21:38] is the fix for 11.04 on a 1311 braodcom card out? [21:38] rhin0: check the BIOS, see if there are any SATA compatibility modes you can toggle [21:38] alkafoo: i don't really have a problem - i just don't know which program i would use for that [21:38] coilbucker: what happens when you try to boot it? [21:38] yeats: i've heard of rsync - what is NFS? [21:38] if the disk has stopped spinning alkafoo -- that could be what it is? [21:38] !nfs | bittyx-laptop [21:38] bittyx-laptop: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [21:38] bittyx-laptop: any easily scriptable ftp client, or rsync, or scp [21:38] i've tried from a USB key -- the same happens alkafoo [21:38] edbian: i don't have ssh access, but i have ftp access [21:38] The unity desktop lets me log in, but gets several errors like the text when you mouse over things doesn't disappear. [21:38] so it's not disk alkafoo [21:39] rhin0: I've had a problem before where the CD drive wouldn't spin because of a BIOS option yes [21:39] bittyx-laptop: do you have ftp access to the log files you wanna move / copy ? [21:39] rhin0: if it turns out that's what it is, and if you'r dual booting Windows, remember to toggle it back before booting Windows [21:39] alkafoo: well that's what i'm looking for - can you recommend an easily scriptable ftp client? [21:39] ask I said alkafoo -- usb key also freezes [21:39] !nomodeset | rhin0 [21:39] rhin0: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [21:39] bittyx-laptop: lftp maybe? [21:39] edbian: yes [21:39] how can I get kernel boot parameters when it doesn't even let me in [21:39] bittyx-laptop: all the ones other than ordinary 'ftp' are pretty advanced, IRC [21:39] bittyx-laptop: but I'd use scp [21:40] alkafoo: i'll check it out, as well as the other things you've mentioned [21:40] bittyx-laptop: then I it should be possible. I'm not aware of anything that does it automatically but something could easily be built (using bash or python or something) [21:40] alkafoo: i'd prefer something i could run as a cron job, say, every 3 hours [21:40] bittyx-laptop: try to get SSH access going - it would ease your issue [21:40] alkafoo - how can I get kernel boot parameters when it doesn't even let me in [21:40] bittyx-laptop: you can run anything as a cronjob, including an scp transfer [21:40] rhin0: you'd need the GRUB menu screen [21:40] yeats: well that would be nice, but both servers are on hosting plans that don't allow ssh [21:40] bittyx-laptop: yikes [21:41] yes but - alkafoo the grub menu you don't get when you boot from the live cd/usb [21:41] basically, i'd run a process on my own server that sort of "connects" the two remote servers [21:41] cluster [21:41] i'm just not sure how to google that [21:41] rhin0: not even when holding SHIFT during bootup? [21:41] ah -- shift -- didn't know this alkafoo [21:41] :) [21:42] rhin0: you're just trying to install Ubuntu, right? For a dual boot or just Ubuntu alone? [21:42] alkafoo, that doesn't apply for livecd/usb - that's for grub. it's press any button at the first GUI screen (with the stick man) [21:42] ubuntu alone [21:42] o_o [21:43] wich one is better to run xp in ubuntu? wmware virtual box or qemu? [21:43] I purchased a new battery for my laptop and it's oly charging to 60% so ubuntu says [21:43] virtualbox [21:43] user: yeah, batteries suck don't they? [21:44] zykotick9: you mean it doesn't do that for GRUB for the live images? [21:44] i just tried to run off battery and it died after 40 secs [21:44] davyde: kvm is the best, then VirtualBox [21:44] Is there any calibration? [21:44] davyde, vmware = nonfree, virtualbox is good for desktop stuff, qemu/kvm for server or cpu intensive stuff [21:44] davyde: or if you require seamless mode, VirtualBox might be the best [21:44] user: batteries just do that. Over time they hold less and less of their charge [21:44] alkafoo, livemedia doesn't use grub actually [21:44] what's it use? [21:44] edbian: it's new [21:45] davyde: I'd go with VirtualBox, myself [21:45] user: then there might be some calibration as well [21:45] alkafoo, i want only try something on xp without reboot [21:45] alkafoo, not sure [21:45] hi, I have made a bootable usb disk of ubuntu 11.04 64bit version as described on the ubuntu site, I try to restart my mac with osx installed, with alt button(tried also with c), but it will not find my usb... any tips? Been on this for the last 5 hours! [21:45] zykotick9: ...right [21:45] edbian: any idea where? [21:45] can i put the virtualmachine on other partition? [21:45] alkafoo, isolinux maybe? [21:45] osx lion* [21:45] davyde: like I said, kvm is the best, but egrep 'svm|vmx' /proc/cpuinfo has to report something for you to be able to use it [21:46] user: I'm guessing the system does it automatically so if you fully charge and discharge it should get better at guessing [21:46] davyde: VirtualBox is the "simplest", and has a cute feature called seamless mode you might like [21:46] davyde: the others really aren't worth your time outside of extremely special situations [21:46] davyde, kvm is non-trivial to use compared to VBox. I'm not a fan of the libvirt addition, but ymmv [21:46] edbian: thats what i thought. i did just that last night. [21:47] * yeats agrees with alkafoo and zykotick9 [21:47] it worked longer last night. [21:47] user: I'm not sure then. Is it saying that the battery only holds 60% of it's charge? [21:47] 2 hours [21:47] Well it did last night now it says 100% but died after 40 sec. [21:47] user: the battery died after 40 seconds? [21:48] oh wait, i got some strange stats [21:48] time till full: 0 [21:48] time till empty: 0 [21:48] percentage: 0.0% [21:48] Capacity: 100% [21:49] rate 0.0w [21:49] user: It doesn't know what's up [21:49] user: or the battery is ruined / disconnected [21:50] I have ubuntu one and dropbox installed on two machines and it seems uOne hasn't noticed a change by the time dropbox has already enforced it on the other. Is dropbox just faster? [21:50] edbian: i did think of it being ruined. Disconnected is not possable.. [21:50] alkafoo: got it going pci=noacpi -- whats that? (pls) [21:50] edbain: thanks.. [21:50] what package contains libGL? [21:51] user: sorry man! [21:51] i tried libgl1-mesa-dev but it doesnt solve my compilation problem [21:52] rhin0: voodoo [21:52] ok [21:52] rhin0: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Configuration_and_Power_Interface [21:54] ebian: just been looking online and it's what we said, to run down complete and charge up... I'll try again tonight.. [21:55] Hello I am trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 onto a HP Mini 1030nr and during the install the screen glitches and the process freezes.

[22:08] or wait for a really cheap, potentially crappier one from dealextreme.com [22:09] SIFTU: reciever ;D [22:09] expensive being around $30 [22:10] SIFTU: Ill use my wii remote but need some bluetooth card or some such to connect to my xbmc [22:10] box [22:10] So with Ubuntu (Natty) many common applications are only updated upon each new release and ONLY at each release even though the program itself has since updated. How do I bypass this and update the program? === a4_ is now known as a4 [22:11] phassber: go to computer/office supply store, buy USB bluetooth dongle, done [22:12] phassber: http://global.ebay.com/BLUETOOTH-USB-DONGLE-LINUXWINDOWSMAC-SUPPORT/180718765461/item [22:12] alkafoo: ye that was my question for recomendations [22:12] dongle was apparantly the word i was looking for [22:14] Oh, this channel is unexpectedly quiet. [22:14] phassber: you might make sure it supports a2dp if you want to use "high quality" audio with any wireless devices, but other than that they don't vary much in quality [22:14] !backports | a4 [22:14] a4: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [22:14] I guess it's only before the storm which will come with 11.10 [22:14] alkafoo: cheers [22:15] alkafoo: what bestbuy has (they have no selection last I checked, just rocketfish) will do fine [22:15] phassber: most of the ultra-cheap ones you can get online will also do fine, you just have to wait for them [22:15] really better if you need a bunch of them [22:15] thanks really very much appreciated [22:16] :) [22:16] how do I change the order of the icons in my dock? [22:16] iceroot is there any REAL danger to running backports? === yakeb-brb is now known as yakeb [22:17] rycar: did you try click-and-dragging? [22:17] a4: sure. they don't get tested anywhere near as much as normal updates, and if they break things they're not supported in here. [22:17] alkafoo: yes, but that makes all of the icons scroll together instead of changing order [22:17] at least, I don't think they are :\ [22:17] rycar: You need to drag icon off the launcher and then drag it where you want it. [22:17] server 127.0.0.0 [22:18] MeanEYE, THANK YOU SO MUCH! === haha is now known as ar0nic [22:18] rycar: Don't mention it :) [22:18] rww in all likely hood wouldnt it just make the app itself unstable? say if im using a backport version of VLC media player... its not gonna crash ubuntu is it? [22:18] a4: I'd highly doubt it, but anything's possible. [22:18] what am i doing wrong, i'm tryint to compile something but always get "cannot find -lGL" but i definitely install libgl1-mesa-dev [22:18] installed [22:19] a4: If you are using older libs than app needs application is not going to start. If you have newer libs, they usually keep backward compatibility. [22:19] japro: why're you compiling something [22:19] because i'm programming something :D [22:19] acutally i just try to setup my cuda environment on my new machine [22:20] but i can't get the samples to compile [22:21] KM0201: just saying thanks for getting my install working.

Either way, thanks. [22:24] How can I remove "???" -file? [22:24] latexHelp: Where did you see it? [22:24] latexHelp: and from which application? [22:24] nonsense, I created it myself [22:25] latexHelp: lol, delete the inode [22:25] "?" is a special character, I need to somehow remove the file [22:25] latexHelp: Either remove inode like SIFTU said, or try from terminal by escaping characters.

[22:26] 1) kicking it [22:27] nomadicus__: Did you change hard drives, cables or anything? That can be a problem. Also if you changed fstab, that can be too. [22:28] SIFTU: thank you, worked. [22:29] hmm, libGL.so is in lib32 [22:29] can i just link against that? [22:29] latexHelp: np.. I once had a kind someone who uploaded a bunch of undeletable files to an ftp server and had to use that method [22:29] or was it a mistake to have the driver installer install "32bit compatibility"-thingy? [22:30] japro: You have 64bit system? [22:31] hola [22:31] MeanEYE, yup [22:31] MeanEYE; There were no hard drive changes. [22:31] japro: and you are trying to compile 32bit examples? [22:32] Just installed ubuntu natty, how do I get my home and trash icons on my desktop? [22:32] MeanEYE, uhm, i don't think so, its the cuda toolkit and i downloaded the 64bit version [22:32] wolfe213, not sure that you can but hold on [22:33] i think it's the other way around libGL is only present in lib32 and the linker doesn't find a libGL when i just hit make [22:33] well you def can, cause every other distro that uses gnome works that way.. heh.. I could make shortcuts or links but rather it just be the normal icons [22:33] Technicus: fstab changes maybe? [22:33] actuall [22:33] wolfe213, open gconf-editor... maneuver to apps/nautilus/desktop and see if you can enable them from there,, I have not tried but that is where you can do it if it works [22:34] Hey guys, should I keep a RAID 1 setup in BIOS or setup RAID 1 in Ubuntu? [22:34] Right now I am unable to detect my raid 1 hard drives in Ubuntu with them set up with BIOS [22:34] wolfe213: control center > desktop settings [22:34] Smozious: ubuntu [22:35] japro: That doesn't make sense. [22:35] Ubuntu 11.04 sorry [22:35] does anyone know the proper syntax to search . for all files belonging tp a certain user and move them to a directory? [22:35] I currently have two 160GB sata drives [22:35] MeanEYE, what part? [22:35] japro: That make doesn't detect 64bit libs. [22:35] I am doing a practice run on how to recover a raid 1 drive if it dies or gets disconnected [22:35] But I cant even get the OS to install on them [22:35] Smozious: no setup software raid in ubuntu.. most MB RAIDS are software only anyway and are built for windowsdrivers. with the linux RAID 1 you can always get your raid back on another machi ne if your MB dies [22:36] so what I did: remove ubuntus nvidia drivers, install cuda development drivers (64bit), install cuda tools (64bit), install cuda sdk samples (generic version) [22:36] Okay, so if one of the hard drive goes down, can it just be unplugged and the other one boots like normal? [22:36] and now i can't compiler because it doesn't find libGL [22:36] japro: Hm, you have propriatary drivers? [22:37] Smozious: well yes and no :).. if you have grub installed on both :) [22:37] But they are mirrored... [22:37] MeanEYE, i need to for cuda [22:37] Smozious: by the partitions.. the MBR isnt [22:37] Oh, why not? [22:37] its not in a partition [22:38] Smozious: but it's quite easy to install grub on both HDD's [22:38] I'm guessing it doesnt mirror Window's MBR either eh? [22:38] japro: Hm, sorry, I don't have that much experience. Did you take a look at that link I gave you? [22:38] japro: From nVidia forums [22:38] yes, but it doesn't cover my problem [22:39] What do you need to do to install grubs on both HDDs? [22:39] Smozious: the windows mbr gets over written by grub, and grub boots both linux and win [22:39] japro: any specific reason to build the nVidia driver yourself? [22:39] These hard drives are only going to have Linux on them, i was just asking if windows did that too for a future reference... [22:39] szal, i need the cuda development drivers [22:39] SIFTU: win boot manager can boot linux (in theory) :D [22:40] MeanEYE: well never tried that.. you [22:40] SIFTU: just heard of it. I don't use windows for some time now. :) Nor do I plan on using it again. [22:40] Okay, do you have a recommended guide on setting RAID 1 up in Ubuntu then? [22:40] japro: sorry I can't be of more assistance. :( [22:40] MeanEYE: the XP bootloader sure can (did that once w/ the W2k bootloader, which was the same).. as for the Vista/Win7 bootloader, dunno [22:41] MeanEYE, thx for trying :D [22:41] Smozious: a guide?.. don't think so.. but you'll probably need to use either the ubuntu-server cd, or the alt. cd.. i've set up a raid 1 w/ the server cd lots of times [22:41] So you don't think the normal desktop version will work? [22:42] Smozious: i'm almost certain of it (it might, but i don't think so) [22:42] Smozious: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID [22:43] does anyone know of a debian or ubuntu based LVM like whats being done at http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org? [22:43] Thanks, can you give me a link to installing Grubs twice as well? === yakeb is now known as yakeb-brb [22:43] ok it just got even more confusing, there are three versions of libGL.so in usr/lib [22:44] one without number won with .1 and one with .270.41.19 (which is the driver version) [22:44] So, I'm wondering if I"m doing this right: If I want a group of people to have access to /var/www and be able to do anything in there, should I create a group for it, and chmod the www folder to 755 and everything in it to 775? [22:44] maybe the makefile is broken and somhow messes with the lib path [22:50] MeanEYE, szal, turns out libGL.so was a broken symbolic link -.- [22:51] japro: Heh, great. So much expertise and no one could have remembered that. [22:51] Is there a list of network devices (usb, pci, or pcie) that are "guaranteed" to work with Ubuntu, whether it be 32 or 64 bit [22:52] like there is with Sane for the scanners [22:52] oh yea.. make sure to check your libGL.so [22:52] sburwood1: Ubuntu has a list of certified hardware. Most of drivers are in kernel so I hope they have a list too. :D [22:53] MeanEYE: I ask that question because I haven't yet found something to help me with the installation of a USB Wifi key from D-link [22:53] sburwood1: Does `lsusb` command list it? [22:54] sburwood1: yes, there is [22:54] !wifi [22:54] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [22:54] sburwood1: ^^^ look at that URL, there's a link to officially supported devices [22:54] %Octobre > > > > 1 et 2 : retransmission de notre conférence générale > > > > 8 : journée du Temple et de la famille > > > > 9 : jour de jeûne et de témoignages (demander un jeûne spécial pour > > soeur JoséeMeanEYE : lsusb does, but something called iwlist scan doesn't find it [22:55] sburwood1: ? [22:55] szal: What? [22:55] sburwood1: And what `ifconfig -a` shows? [22:56] sburwood1: what's that French stuff about? [22:56] szal: I messed up something. A copy paste error === ErikT is now known as Guest54 [22:59] does anyone know of a ubuntu based solution for this "Virtual server is a highly scalable and highly available server built on a cluster of real servers. The architecture of server cluster is fully transparent to end users, and the users interact with the cluster system as if it were only a single high-performance virtual server" [22:59] szal: I have something strange to say about the list of certified hardware from D-Link. I have a DWA-135, but the CD that comes with it speaks of a DWA-123. Neither are listed. [23:00] point me in the direction of somthing ubuntu based? or is linuxvirtualserver.org the only real option? [23:00] Some guy Mez long shot pinged me or something and I'm wondering how the hell he did that. Up top it said ~mez@ubuntu/member/mez so I came here [23:00] wat now? [23:01] MeanEYE: I did ifconfig without prefacing with sudo. It came back with no reference to the Wifi key I have [23:02] MeanEYE: Which thing is the most interesting to look at, eth0, lo, or vboxnet 0? [23:03] sburwood1: eth0 is you ethernet, vboxnet is virtual nat for vbox [23:04] sburwood1: lo = loopback [23:05] MeanEYE: When I did do lsusb, it came back with Bus 002 Device 004: ID 2001:3c17 D-Link Corp. [23:05] I'm buying a wireless card for my computer. If I get an intel one am I pretty saf with ubuntu compatibility? [23:05] gnome monitor preferences shows my monitor as unknown and it says 1024x768 at 0Hz.... what do I do? I use a 82845GL Intel integrated graphicz [23:05] sirninja: Intel is one of Linux's biggest contributors, so I guess you are safe with that choice. I've never had anything Intel that didn't work. [23:06] compaq: Is everything working as expected? [23:06] sburwood1: can you give me the exact model? [23:06] MeanEYE, yes but i want to use a resolution like 1280x960 [23:06] MeanEYE: As far as I can tell (nothing is written on the key), it is a DWA-135 [23:06] compaq: Do you have an option to switch to higher resolution? [23:06] also my monitor shows it as 60Hz [23:07] MeanEYE, its stuck at 1024x768 and theres nothing else [23:07] 60Hz is eye cancer pretty much [23:07] on a CRT yes, on a flat panel not [23:07] i'm on a CRT [23:07] sburwood1: Oh, that one... Did you try playing with ndiswrapper? [23:08] i'm so poor please kill me [23:08] sirninja: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Devices or ask ##hardware [23:08] compaq: You are confusing me, which monitor you want to configure? [23:08] MeanEYE: I know that it exists, but playing around with that, I haven't yet done [23:08] MeanEYE, http://i.snag.gy/ulmyQ.jpg i'm on a desktop with a CRT monitor and i see this [23:08] compaq: No, I won't kill you [23:09] compaq: pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log also what graphics card are you running? [23:09] compaq, what size CRT? [23:09] sburwood1: I think that's the only way. I could be wrong but installing windows drivers for such poorly supported devices is th eonly way if you ask me. [23:09] freedom07, 16'' HP 7650 CRT [23:10] MeanEYE: can you give me a crash course in playing with ndiswrapper? [23:10] SIFTU, 82845GL integrated Intel graphics.. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/695891/ [23:10] and installing windows drivers [23:10] sburwood1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper [23:10] That should help. [23:10] MeanEYE: Can't hurt [23:11] compaq: do you have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf? [23:11] sburwood1: Well, ask someone else to confirm that I gave you the right link. Am not sure. Haven't played with ndis for some time now. ndisgtk comes preinstalled on Mint so I never had any problems with the installation itself but I never used windows drivers. Looks simple and easy to use. [23:12] SIFTU, no [23:12] MeanEYE: I am hesitant whenever someone tells me that something is easy [23:12] compaq: you do have some badness happening in there :) [23:13] sburwood1: I said it looks easy to use :D ... I can make it complicated for you if you wish :D [23:14] SIFTU, so i should make a config?

[23:29] ohp, sorryk, yea [23:30] geth022: first go through alsamixer looking for muted channels, hit TAB if you run out of ones to check [23:30] geth022: then you'll want to look at laptop model values you can pass to alsa's config [23:30] or go to linux-laptop.net and you might luck out and get exactly the info you need [23:31] sirninja, is the wpa network unsecured, or using a wpa passphrase? [23:31] Was trying to create usb startup disk on 10.04 and I get segmentation fault with usb-creator!

So like set to zero? [23:35] has anyone gotten runescape to work in ubuntu? [23:36] geth022: you're trying to rule out ALSA being configured to have your output jack muted or with volume so low you don't hear it [23:36] geth022: but it's probably going to end up being a model/config issue [23:36] yeah, why don't you just test the sound properties. Try alsa, pulse, etc. [23:36] 5 [23:36] alkafoo: ok, i hear absolutely no sound, the thing is, prior to now there had been one time where it HAD given output to my speaker [23:36] JasonGriffee: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22runescape%22%20site%3Aappdb.winehq.org [23:36] until you get one that works [23:37] speaking of which, mine isn't at the moment ha [23:37] geth022: ...which was connected to your headphone out?

I have succeeded in changing /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_default_ttl via sysctl, and have verified that the change does in fact occur. However, pinging google.com gives the same TTL back no matter what I set ip_default_ttl to. I am connecting via wifi on a laptop. Ideas?

[23:53] geth022: just a general internet search tip [23:53] everything works fine except for the fact that I have ubuntu default gnome configs and I'm trying to change that.. so my configs, your configs none of that matters [23:53] anyone? am I missing somethin? [23:53] computerx: how are you determining that it is not running? [23:54] geth022: second link thread in results seems to have a solution for you, have fun [23:54] alkafoo: ohh, okay, i forgot how to do that with google :P [23:54] or could the rar just be corrupt? [23:54] !helpme | Kingsy [23:54] Kingsy: Avoid following your questions with a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [23:54] computerx: that only gets run after a reboot.. not shutdown powerup [23:54] wolfe213_: Debian and Ubuntu don't even use the same versions or configurations of GNOEM [23:54] GNOME [23:54] alkafoo: kk, thanks dude! [23:54] I got my desktop icons back, manually hacking gconf, fixed my panels.. last issue is the buttons on the wrong side of the window [23:54] Kingsy: unrar-free, while free, is occasionally inferior to the non-free version [23:55] wolfe213_: I think you were already given a link for fixing that, no? [23:55] alkafoo: so should I just install unrar? [23:55] Kingsy: yeah [23:55] indeed I was, and its not working so far [23:55] jrib: It's my own script, and it's not running :p [23:55] Kingsy: or whatever the proprietary package is called [23:55] !repeat | KingPin [23:55] KingPin: 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/ [23:55] win grow 3 [23:55] wolfe213_: sudo workplz [23:55] computerx: pastebin your crontab [23:56] o.0 [23:56] SIFTU: Really? Then what about the command for start up? [23:56] god those forward slashes are killing me [23:56] KingPin: people are a little bot happy in here, don't worry about it [23:56] rgr [23:56] petester: ? [23:56] jrib: No need, it's small: @reboot /home/computerx/to-encode/start-encoding [23:56] computerx: put the command in /etc/rc.local before the exit 0 [23:56] computerx: pastebin your script [23:56] SIFTU: it doesn't like the fist line [23:57] ah it would seem I missed the menu: part [23:57] wolfe213_: you misser you [23:57] alkafoo: thanks [23:57] JasonGriffee: hmm try without the quotes [23:57] Kingsy: working now? [23:57] jrib: Again, not neccessary, aside from some cd/rm/mv it's just: nohup php lampedEncoderDriver.php & [23:58] computerx: you need a shebang [23:58] now I am off to recompile hedgewars I guess.. since that too is broken now.. heh. [23:58] computerx: and you probably need to provide full paths to the programs you call if they aren't in the PATH that cron uses === Grrrant is now known as NimbleDonkey [23:58] Silly question, but how do I erase the contents of a CD/DVD so that I can burn something on it again? [23:58] jrib: I do, #!/bin/bash, which is valid because until now I've used it directly. The path however, is a great idea. I'll add that in. [23:58] computerx: and you need a space after 'cd' === Lilarcor is now known as joutaro [23:58] jrib: @reboot ONLY works after being issued a reboot.. if you shutdown and powerup.. it will not be run [23:59] SIFTU: not true [23:59] (5.5 * 1.004) E (24-38) [23:59] Yeah, I doubted the restart thing tbh [23:59] hay guys i am having a problem :: need python binding for libvte ????? [23:59] petester, stop that please [23:59] what that means === derp is now known as Trololololololol [23:59] jrib: really? [23:59] SIFTU: from crontab's man page: @reboot Run once, at startup. === Trololololololol is now known as Trololololololo [23:59] been looking in the synaptic no result
