[00:07] I have no idea. just do what I said, switch to runlevel 1 then 2, and see if sshd is running [00:07] ls -al /etc/init/ssh.conf does the autostart at reboot [00:07] so no more init script [00:07] I understand sysv init, I don't grok all this newfangled upstart nonsense [00:07] anyone else would know ? [00:08] 5 mins.......... [00:08] axisys: maybe you should just try now and see if it's running when you startup [00:09] abjjdks832: +1 for sysv init.. i dont carwe if it takes 5 seconds longer to boot [00:09] oh yeah.. update-rc.d still works [00:09] it tries to remove from init.d/ [00:09] Removing any system startup links for /etc/init.d/ssh ... [00:09] shawn.. i installed 11.04 in my n550 netbook but unity is kind of slow [00:10] but ssh is started by /etc/init/ssh.conf [00:10] well, you still want it in init.d I think [00:10] i'm downloading xubuntu atm to test it [00:10] abjjdks832: not with upstart [00:11] upstart adds the supervising a script and no need for numerical logic.. more advanced..

I just recently installed 11.04 and it ran fine until I installed the nVidia driver. I'm running an 8800GTX, but my card is underpowered - I only have one of the two, six-pin connectors attached. The card runs fine, albiet at a reduced capacity, in Windows, but Ubuntu refuses to start xwindows now. Is there any way to force xwin [00:34] to start and/or get the Linux driver to do as the Windows driver does? That is, run the card in reduced-capacity? [00:36] Garret_Thorne: which nvidia driver are you using? [00:37] I am trying to have a live-booted (off CD) Ubuntu forward all packets from incoming interface eth0 on 192.168.1.105 out to the Internet on eth1 on 10.0.1.133. How do I do that? I tried "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" but what else do I have to do to tell it to do this? I can ping stuff on the Internet from the Ubuntu machine so I know the Internet is connected, but I can't seem to get packets to forward from eth0 to eth1 [00:37] Ubuntu offered me three choices. One was experimental, stayed away from that one. the other two were nVidia branded, and I chose the one listed as "Current - recommended." [00:38] how do u install a tar.bz2 file? it sounds stupid but idk need help.. u dl the file.. u do tar -xzvf an then what? [00:38] ./install? [00:39] Garret_Thorne: okay, it's not clear which driver you are using exactly. Have you gone through this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [00:41] sean__: depends on what the tarball contains. what are you trying to install? [00:42] gmote its for cell phones i guess [00:42] wanna try something [00:42] i alrdy tar -xzvf [00:42] now in the folder contains .sh file [00:42] do i have to -c it? [00:42] or something [00:42] no [00:42] sh firlename.sh [00:43] sean__: what ex0 said :) [00:43] kk ty [00:44] I've checked that out, and apparently I've replaced Nouveau with what Ubuntu referred to as the recommended, current version. I can only assume by nVidia's site that that's unified version 275.28, but I can't be positive. However, what you've linked to also includes guides to setting this driver up, and a forum. I'll check both out. Thanks, mw, for your help. [00:44] ur tryin to install the normal vid card? [00:44] You gotta black list some things, kill x server [00:44] np. good luck [00:45] and then hit ctrl +alt + f1 for cmd line [00:45] Ive dont it before ;x [00:45] done* [00:45] Is there a repository of old packages? I'm looking for one that was available in Dapper, but isn't available after that [00:45] Garret_Thorne, what are u tryin to do install the driver from their website [00:45] ? [00:46] No, I installed the driver using Ubuntu's update utility, when it mentioned restricted drivers were available... it's a brand-new install. So after installing the recommended nVidia driver and rebooting, the system won't start xwindows. It starts at a standard linux text prompt. [00:47] service gdm start [00:47] When i "startx," I get an error from nVidia saying the card's underpowered. Which I know it is, I just need to know if there's a way I can force the driver to run anyway, in a slower or reduced-capacity mode. [00:47] gchristensen: which package? name could have changed [00:47] Eh desktop computer? [00:47] Yup. What does gdm do? [00:48] well if u start in the linux prompt window it should start the xserver [00:48] mw007: unlikely, they haven't had a release since 2006. Its called mydns... mydns-common, mydns-mysql [00:48] and u should go back to the login screen and stuff [00:48] if ur stuck in the linux prompt window [00:49] Groovy. Thanks, I'll try that. Back in a bit. [00:50] mw007: when I went to http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=mydns&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all it ultimately took me to a dead download link, pointing to files in this directory: http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/m/mydns/ [00:50] gchristensen: ahh gotcha. looks like you'd need download from source: http://mydns.bboy.net/download/ [00:50] blast!

So the icon is nowhere on scree? Other than relaunching the app, which it should just bring up the active window, I don't know of any other way. [01:26] Jokn: Yeah I don't see much. Oh well, thanks!

[02:35] irssi needs postdix? [02:35] one of eclipse, smartmontools, screen, zsh, irssi, vim and git does [02:35] go figure [02:35] g0rs, expect it to be slow. USB interfaces are MUCH slower then IDE/SATA [02:35] I guess gentoo spoiled me [02:35] g0rs: some nachines cant boot from internal sd [02:36] pf_: --no-install-recommends [02:36] Flannel: thanks [02:36] dr_willis: my machine has a micro sd adapter slot but im not sure if the bios allows booting from micro sd adapter. [02:36] does vanilla 32 bit kernel in 11.04 support PAE out of the box? [02:37] g0rs: ive had some that can. and some that cant [02:37] wcchandler, use "uname -r" to check. But i think the answer is yes. [02:38] i thought pae was not the default. [02:38] Hi, I need help. [02:38] !pae [02:38] To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info [02:38] dr_willis: interesing, which computer was it which booted with micro sd cards? did you use usb-sd adapter or were you able to boot directly with your micro sd card? [02:38] pf_: and, it's smartmontools, wanting some sort of mail thing, you may need to pick one explicitly [02:39] I tried today install Amarok and Goober but 'cos QT4 I can't execute no one [02:39] Flannel: ah that makes sense; it probably does mail notification [02:39] g0rs: i used my sd slot.with a microsd to sd adaptor.

[02:40] wcchandler: i only use 64bit these days. nirmally [02:40] nbros652 use single quote inside double quote [02:40] nbros652, bash doesn't have tabs... [02:41] nbros652: works fine here [02:41] wcchandler: you don't need to inside $() [02:41] if I remember well [02:41] wcchandler: didn't work for me. [02:41] :/ [02:42] yo anybody here know any good free to use american based vpn servers so i can wach hulu in canada lol; [02:42] lol [02:42] zykotick9: it sort of does, try echo -e "1\t2" ... I know it converts to spaces, but my spaces are collapsing in a bash script, and I don't want them to. [02:43] nbros652, if it's a bash issue, try the #bash channel - they're hardcore [02:43] pf_: I put it inside the $() because in a script I'm assigning the value to a variable. [02:43] zykotick9: thanks [02:43] nbros652: \t is \t, it's not spaces [02:44] pf_: thanks [02:45] Guest78727: no idea , i saw huckelberry finn on hulu a few days ago. It has a few goodmovies [02:46] nbros652: [a="$(echo -e "1\t2")"; echo -e "$a" works just fine, you're probably just missing some quotes somewhere] [02:46] is backtrack a good os? [02:46] weird... evolution puts all my incoming mails in the junk folder. any idea? [02:46] anyway [02:46] backtrack fuking rocks [02:46] but its advanced [02:46] sean__: define good? [02:46] comes with no sound or video on alot of hardware configurations [02:46] better then ubuntu? [02:46] backtrack is not suppoted here [02:46] you need to manualy install synaptic and software center [02:46] sean__: it's good for auditing and pentesting [02:46] that doesn't define "good" [02:47] !backtrack [02:47] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [02:47] hubert_: i cant send emails with evolution even thought the settings of my smpt server are correct. Receiving emails is not a problem. what could be the reason? [02:47] use ubuntu untill you realy know what you are dooing [02:47] pf_": thanks. I was missing the -e on the second echo [02:47] then tinker with backtrack on live os till you are familliar with it [02:47] nbros652: I hope that was a simplified version of your script, otherwise that's very silly [02:47] lol i just seen a screen shot it has the same gui as ubuntu [02:47] i run a tripple boot win7 ubuntu 11.04 backtrack system [02:47] pf_: very simplified [02:47] it has patched wifi drivers [02:47] nbros652: phew :) [02:47] and alot of taylored software [02:47] comand promped alot of it [02:48] backtrack is a penatration testing os [02:48] discussion about backtrack please elsewere [02:48] Guest78727: Did you have an Ubuntu support question?

[02:56] I'm getting dings from other apps as a default alert sound, but audible bells from terminal or terminator are silent. any ideas? [02:57] there used to be a way to disable compiz in previous ubuntu versions by setting visual effects to none. I can't seem to find this for 11.04. Has it been moved somewhere else? [02:58] kiwii: how many monitors do you have? this doesn't seem like a default behavior. do you have anything but a very basic setup with one monitor that just worked when you installed ubuntu? [02:58] pf_, if you're using Unity it requires compiz. [02:58] ubuntu tweak [02:59] wil let u use metacity composting instead of the compiz dooing it [02:59] question for all you advanced users sometimes when I type it kind of acts like the keys are sticking it just keeps laying down letters [02:59] zykotick9: ah, thanks [02:59] boo [03:00] 1 [03:01] sammy: [03:01] single monitor [03:02] sammy: it's only one program that's maximizing off of the screen. And i have just one desktop [03:02] has anyone here used dget ?? [03:03] kiwii: what program? do you have any other odd monitor or desktop settings? [03:03] how can I find out which package provides my wireless .ko? i tried searching from within synaptic but no luck [03:03] pitivi [03:03] i dont have any odd monitor or desktop settings at all [03:04] hi [03:05] anyone kno how to save a screen? [03:05] organiks: you mean take a picture of the screen [03:05] ? [03:05] hi, I am working on an embedded platform (beagleboard) and I've gotten a pre-compiled Ubuntu Maverick image started but I wanted to modify the kernel in order to learn about platform drivers, and low level kernel work. Unfortunately the kernel I've downloaded doesn't seem to work, how can I tell if a kernel will work with a specific version of Ubuntu? are there versions of the kernel that specific versions of Ubuntu? [03:05] or start screen session [03:06] *that work with specific versions of Ubuntu [03:06] Hi... Somebody Can help about my Amarok? Don't works. Follow link:http://pastebin.com/N4FvpTUj [03:07] So when crashkernel is enabled at boot, does the system actually write the coredump somewhere for the kernel? [03:09] I don't identify something about it. [03:09] kiwii: whats your resolution? [03:10] I have a stupid question when it says nvidia gtx 285m with cuda [03:10] what does cuda mean? [03:10] Hi... Somebody Can help about my Amarok? Don't works. Follow link: http://pastebin.com/N4FvpTUj [03:10] sammy: 1024x768 [03:11] sean__: supports the CUDA api for enabling your Graphics Processor to do general purpose computation (not just graphics) [03:11] now when i installed the driver [03:11] does it come with it auto? [03:11] im guessin? [03:12] could someone tell me how to start a "screen" session that i can resume later? [03:12] ¬¬ [03:12] Some admin can verify about my question? [03:12] organiks: resume, like after reboot? [03:13] http://pastebin.com/N4FvpTUj [03:13] kiwii: are you using unity? check this bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643394 [03:13] Gnome bug 643394 in user-interface "Does not fit in 1024 pixels wide screen resolutions, cannot maximize" [Normal,Unconfirmed] [03:13] yeah, thanks bot :) [03:14] qin can that be done? i just wanted it to be attached after i close the session [03:14] kiwii: I think most people doing video editing are doing it on a higher screen resolution these days. good luck getting support with this. id add your experience to the bottom of that bug report to confirm the existing report. maybe the developers can do something. [03:14] sammy: nope, gnome [03:14] kiwii: oh. hrm. [03:15] kiwii: oh! its not unity specific. just says its worse in unity [03:15] found my answer.. [03:15] http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#disabling-a-job-from-automatically-starting [03:15] sean__: it means your GPU can perform CUDA operations if it needs to, shouldnt be anything to enable [03:15] organiks: After rebbot, no idea, but detach/attach is normal way to deal with screen. [03:15] cospan: the kernel youve downloaded doesn't seem to work - are you sure the pre-compiled maverick image is made to run on the beagleboard's hardware? [03:15] sammy: ok, thanks. I'll check it out. that would be lame if pitivi dropped support for smaller monitors [03:16] qin how do i start a session that i can resume later? [03:16] kiwii: maybe they're just unaware of how severe the problem is. i'd for sure add your experience to the bug report to at least confirm the other user's experience [03:17] organiks: you can "detach" from a screen sesssion by typing + A D then if you want to list your sessions, you can view them with screen -l ... I forget how to re-attach though [03:17] organiks: screen; to detach: Ctrl-A d; to attach: screen -r; man screen or /join #screen [03:17] enferex, well this is a msi laptop.. and i have a turbo function in it.. i have the disc but its only a windows disc [03:17] could i install the drivers for that? or no [03:17] its for the cpu + gou [03:17] gpu* [03:17] sammy: yeah the precompile image with the precomplied kernel works, but I can't find the source for that kernel [03:18] anyone have any suggestions about getting audible bells to work from terminal? I dunno what I'm missing. [03:18] organiks: Try also: byobu and tmux [03:18] wow thanks never knew there was a channel just for screen [03:18] perhaps I can just work within the beagle board ubuntu and download the kernel source like I would on a normal desktop [03:19] cospan: what is it exactl youre trying to do? any kernel version should work in ubuntu, and there are some ubuntu/debian tools you can use to compile a custom version of a kernel, complete with debian/ubuntu addons/patches [03:21] I want to modify the platform driver in order to send off events when a user presses a button. I know there are ways you can do this in userland but I want to understand how to develop with the kernel [03:22] guys what can I do if "screensaver" doesn't appear under system settings? [03:23] cospan: I would honestly suggest talking to the beagleboard folks. they'd probably be super interested in any work that furthers support for their product. look into the instructions for building a custom kernel within debian, though what youd like to do sounds even more low level. you can always cross-compile the kernel on your desktop machine to run on a machine of a different architecture, and then package it up, and load that package in ubu [03:23] Jubei, in other words you can't find it? what release and what desktop? It is there I assume. [03:23] somewhere [03:24] as for kernel version, you might want to look into the source packages for the kernel versions available through ubuntu. there shouldn't be a specific version that works or doesn't work. [03:24] anyone know why javascript wont work on konqueror when running as non-root user? [03:24] hi folks [03:24] !dri [03:24] dri is direct rendering infrastructure, a framework for allowing direct access to graphics hardware under the X Window System in a safe and efficient manner. [03:25] how can i get the urls for several name packages for a specific architecture, any ideas? [03:25] the bot seems pretty empty [03:25] . [03:25] sammy: thanks for you help! Unfortunately I havn't found much help in the beagleboard channel. I'll grab the kernel from ubuntu sources. [03:27] How do i tell if my laptop is broadcasting on wireless n? === root is now known as Guest78614 [03:27] have xorg.confs been deprecated entirely, or is it just not included by default anymore when X is installed? [03:27] cospan: good luck [03:28] triunity: you should be able to single click the wireless icon near the clock and click 'connection information' [03:28] they're not included by default because xorg does autodetection and configuration [03:28] but they're still available as an option [03:28] triunity: it'll tell you the speed youre currently connected with, but mind you, that might be lower than the maximum available depending on the quality of the link. sometimes wireless links will drop to a slower speed if the quality is low. [03:29] sammy, speed shows 54 Mb/s I guess its G... [03:30] xorg.conf is used if it exists [03:30] sammy, how can i tell if my laptop can handle wireless n? [03:30] triunity: you can have some fun with iwconfig and iwspy and iwlist. look into those tools. you can also check the output of 'dmesg' - sometimes wireless negotiation information can be found there -- well, if you run 'lspci' you can find out what type of hardware it is, and google the hardware [03:31] Ok, thanks, I will explore from here :D === sysadamiz is now known as sysadamin [03:32] hey guyss [03:32] have a question [03:33] any question? [03:33] cut command is used to get the fields of a fields with a delimitator [03:33] how can i get the urls for several name packages for a specific architecture, any ideas?

Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [03:34] OK [03:34] NoN2: Apparently awk is more flexible than cut [03:34] qin: awk still generally acts on per-line. === ok is now known as ok_wait [03:35] yes, but my problem is that I get a list of file from a file, for example "5,2,4" [03:36] awk is way more flexible then cut :) it can do multiline i recall. been a while since i last read 'using awk and sed' [03:36] I save this list in a variable and then I do this: cat file | cut -d'|' -f$var [03:36] Hi guys, what would be a good linux remote destop client to connect to windows remote ?

[03:52] I can get alert noises from other apps, and its not a volume issue. ive double checked audible bell is turned on in two different terminal apps [03:52] sammy: under x ir the consoe? [03:52] dr_willis: x! using default terminal or terminator. [03:52] brian99, yw :) always good to hear [03:52] cinsile [03:53] its doing the same thing on my laptop that is running ubuntu [03:53] sammy: x can somehow mute the.ctrl a. bell. [03:53] sammy: hmm you could see if the module is loaded smod |grep pcspkr [03:53] sammy: i think it may be a known bug. i see it asked in here every so often [03:54] sammy: sorry "lsmod|grep pcspkr" [03:54] pcspkr may be blacklisted also [03:54] SIFTU: good idea, but I don't want a pcspeaker bell, Ive heard the bell come though alsa or pulse or whichever and play my default gnome alert sound. [03:54] sammy: ah ok [03:54] dr_willis: I'll go poking for bugs again. [03:55] thats a gnome setting sammy [03:55] i forget where. [03:56] sammy: Terminal > Edit > Current Profile > Terminal bell [03:56] dr_willis: which is a gnome setting? :P you can change/check the volume of the alert sound in the sound preferences.

[03:59] SIFTU: its not a volume issue, unfortunately. I've disabled earcandy and double checked the alert volume and sound in other X apps. if X is stifling the sound -- OH i think there's a pulseaudio module for x beeping! *checks* [04:00] sammy: theres always askubuntu.com and the forum search. ;) i imagine otheres have had similee issues [04:00] bbl [04:00] sammy: but it could be muted in there.. just brainstorming [04:01] HELLO ALL. I just moved my HD to a machine with Nvidia, and then back to a the old one. Removed all Nvidia files, rebooted, got a "low graphics mode", used the options there to reconfigure. Rebooted, got Extra Effects enabled again. NOW everything is how I want it......problem is, if I reboot, I need to do the above process every time. Question is then, how do I save my running display config so it will load at boot? Its per [04:02] ./server.irc.ciudad.com.ar [04:02] ./server irc.ciudad.com.ar [04:02] magicjoe97236: you removed /etc/X11/xorg.conf that nvidia made? [04:03] Siftu: ah......no. So just delete that and it will recreate? [04:04] magicjoe97236: yeah if you arnt using nvidia anymore you dont need one (if you are using OSS drivers) [04:04] Can someone help getting totem airplay plugin to work. I have only succedded once, other times it fails to work do i have to restart a service. I have also started shairport and my iphone see it will but what application on my ubuntu is needed in addition to shairport to run my audio/vedio [04:04] Siftu: Thanks I'll try that, and reboot......if you don't see me, it worked. If not, I'll be back. Thanks again [04:04] SIFTU, dr_willis: i found a few bug reports, for metacity and compiz. its always the little things that fall through the cracks - apparently is a super common issue. [04:06] SIFTU: That would also explain why my attempts at 'sudo Xorg -configure' were futile. I didn't need the file....it was screwing things up! [04:07] magicjoe97236: so it worked? [04:07] SIFTU: not sure yet, just deleted file, rebooting now. I will let you know in a minute [04:09] hi people === X_ is now known as FreeNET [04:11] SIFTU: THANKS exactly what it needed. Kudos === ok is now known as Guest16533 [04:13] magicjoe97236: yw [04:13] a simple question [04:13] psswd is forcing me to make a "good" passwd, not too similar to the previous one [04:14] how can I force it to set the passwd I want, even if it is a "bad one" [04:14] Sonarpulse: Make a crazy password. Then make a good password. [04:14] Sonarpulse: Do not make it close to your username. Lol. [04:14] that would be easy [04:15] this is a non-root, non-sudoer account too, just for all you guys's conciences [04:15] Sonarpulse: fjawXBXA7f2mc [04:15] Sonarpulse: That's a good password. ;3 [04:16] well this account doesn't matter, so i'm just making something easy to remember [04:16] Sonarpulse: Use "hunter2" then [04:17] ******* [04:17] thx, the change, change (almost) back trick worked [04:19] Hi, I was trying to connect to a wireless router through the command line, and I keep getting this error "SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported." [04:20] at what level is this failing, does any one know [04:20] Error :unknown filesystem grub rescue > [04:20] I'm running all the typing commands [04:20] can anyone give me solution?

[04:46] Hi I recently installed ubuntu running under a virtuozzo server container virtualised on a vmware node, the thing keeps kernel panicking but the error logs it generates are all garbled. what do? [04:46] why is it so quiet in here? === root__ is now known as orneryrabbit [04:47] anyone able to answer my question? [04:47] what do I need for auto mounting drives? [04:48] binarymutant: at boot time? [04:49] dr_willis: at any time [04:49] or on first user access. [04:49] userland [04:49] at boot - make a fstab entry. [04:50] you can also tweak usermounting tgat way [04:50] dr_willis: something a little more hands free, for random unknown usb drives etc [04:50] no fstab entry ithibk udevhandles it [04:50] does anyone know if an Ubuntu for tablets is in the works? [04:51] binarymutant: those work for me with no tweaking needed [04:51] is there a site where the packages aren't grouped alphabetically and by function? [04:51] zetheroo: heard rumors of it. [04:52] many if the gui changes are.for better tablet needs [04:52] dr_willis: ok, but nothing official? - the worl needs it so badly ;) [04:53] Android on the tablet has been just short of a nightmare for me [04:53] zetheroo: ill stick to android for now [04:53] hello [04:53] i have no issues with it [04:53] binarymutant: you mean udev rules? [04:53] SIFTU: yes probably :D [04:53] !udev [04:54] dr_willis: I just find that aquiring apps is a complete headache compared to in Ubuntu [04:54] !unity [04:54] Unity is the default UI for Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. You can still boot to the classic GNOME desktop; see !classic. [04:54] my udev skills are low [04:54] !classic [04:54] The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". [04:54] pmount is actually working for me great, thanks everyone for the help [04:54] zetheroo: ubuntu for arm does exist. [04:55] but tablet specific features may not exist [04:55] dr_willis: hmmm [04:55] it's arm support is limited compared to debian too [04:55] then the apps may have issues. [04:56] gimp on a tablet. scary [04:56] dr_willis: yeah, the OS is only as good as it's applications .... imho [04:56] zetheroo, i wish ubuntu had this great french udev doc http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/udev [04:57] OerHeks: heh ... sorry dunno what to do with that :P [04:57] my tablet has a usb keybord and ssh. ;) i just ssh to my ubuntu box [04:57] dr_willis: as in remoting ? ... can I ask what your tablet is? [04:58] I've blacklisted ipv6 in modprobe.d and also aliased net pf10 to off, yet avahi-daemon *still* does ipv6-related things. Why? [04:58] hey, does anyone know a cli command to change the resolution? [04:58] zetheroo: some cheap one from cvs. i can ssh from my phone also [04:58] yshi: xrandr [04:59] thanks sifts [04:59] looks like /etc/avahi/* still had ipv6 things in it, sigh [04:59] stupid auto correct. thank you SIFTU [04:59] yshi: np [05:00] dr_willis: nice, though I bet it's a pain from your phone ... I am using the A500 from Acer ... Android 3.2 ... it's ok ... but I would MUCH rather prefer Ubuntu with it's fast spread of applications and straight-forward methods for obtaining those applications! Oh well, here's to hoping ... [05:01] andoid market us straight forward. ;) [05:01] software center becomes more like it in every release [05:02] dr_willis: not for me ... I want to search for something that was made for tablets, not phones ... I want to search for free apps and not paid ones ... [05:02] unity on a tablet would seem awkward at this time [05:02] for some reason on my tablet I cannot define those criteria [05:03] saw some tablet specific site/narket the other day in a blog post [05:04] yes, tablified.com [05:04] very limited number of apps compared to SPM in Ubuntu ... [05:07] you would have tge same probmem. apps not optimized for tablets [05:07] the other day I was searching for something that would allow me to take screenshots and screen captures on my tablet. Search tablified.com and they list one app that "may need rooting of the device" and selling for $0.99 .... not keen ... then search Market and there is nothing which will do this without rooting device and paying ... I don't mind paying somehting ... but not for an app which will not work unless I 'hack' my tablet ... I dunno [05:08] I just want RecordMyDesktop for Android :P [05:08] a [05:08] Is it possible to alter the time & date settings in Ubuntu to follow the Holocene Era dating system? [05:09] need help seeting up vpntunnel.se on ubuntu 11.04, got to the point where i import into network place, any help would be appreciated [05:09] setting* [05:09] AbuMaia: wow ... what is that? " Holocene Era dating system" [05:10] zetheroo: basically an alternative to BC/AD and BCE/CE. In the HE system, this is the year 12011. [05:10] HE? [05:10] <___MAX> :) [05:10] i came in at the wrong time [05:10] zetheroo: I can see that I can change the year manually, but then I lose the internet time updates. [05:11] helo [05:11] HE = Holocene Era or Human Era. It's on wikipedia. [05:11] AbuMaia: and you live your life according to that dating system? [05:11] anyone know much about vpntunnel? [05:11] zetheroo: annoying drm in android is to blame i guess. i rooted my phone [05:11] to wikipedia then :) [05:11] Hi room: Does anyone know what the best Ubuntu math notation tool with Latex export is? [05:12] anyone able to explain how to use puppet [05:12] zetheroo: I'm trying to adopt it, yes. One of those steps is setting up my computer to recognize it. [05:12] dr_willis: maybe I should not be ... but I am just really worried about rooting ... if something happens what will happen to warranty etc ... also heard of people 'bricking' their devices ... [05:12] !info puppet [05:12] puppet (source: puppet): Centralized configuration management - agent startup and compatibility scripts. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.4-2ubuntu2.2 (natty), package size 20 kB, installed size 360 kB [05:12] if no one is available to help can you redirect me to where someone can help? [05:12] AbuMaia: why would you want to adopt it? [05:13] orneryrabbit: hand puppet or stick puppet :P har har [05:13] to avoid the fuss people are making over BC/AD and BCE/CE. [05:13] zetheroo: bigger danger will be dropping the thing. ;) [05:13] the program puppet used for Change management of linux servers [05:13] dr_willis are you available to assist me again? [05:13] Glitchy_: i dont use vpns [05:13] ah, dang, ok...thanks [05:14] dr_willis: is it really all that great to root the device? [05:14] all i know wouldba at this [05:14] !vpn [05:14] For more information on vpn please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN [05:14] AbuMaia: fuss? honestly who cares? ... [05:14] Hello gentlemen [05:14] zetheroo: your line of question is quite disrespectful. [05:14] zetheroo: i saw yes. [05:14] say yes [05:15] my god this guy [05:15] zetheroo: Australians are currently having a controversy over it. [05:15] :| [05:15] fuss? here in indiana we cant agree on a time zone [05:16] !offtopic | move on to Ubuntu support [05:16] move on to Ubuntu support: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [05:16] AbuMaia: yeah? I am here in Sydney and haven't heard or seen anything about it ... I think it's interesting ... I just don't understand the 'pros and cons' if there are any ... [05:16] thanks for the tip dr_willis, but that wont help me much [05:16] will there be problems for HDD if virtual box is used ? [05:16] So to get off the politics of the thing, is there any way to change the time & date settings in Ubuntu to recognize the HE system? [05:16] rabbi11: in what way? [05:16] dr_willis: yes, well... that's been going on for some time now hasn't it ... [05:16] zetheroo: i don't like being told what to do, so if the ability to change my device/computer any way i want is made illegal i dont want to live in that country any more [05:17] I have a Dell inspiron n4010 and everything works well with ubuntu, except the sound. The sound is definitely working, but the quality and volume are not good. Even if I set it to 100% and set alsamixer to full, the sound is still low. I previously tried installing a realtek audio driver, which totally crashed my sound and forced me reinstall. Any suggestion? :( [05:17] dr_willis: was using WINXP from vbox, my hdd currupted [05:17] Burnward: sorry, what was this in realtion to? [05:17] rooting [05:17] ravb [05:18] rabbi11: you use virtual diskss in vbox nornally [05:18] Burnward: oh, is it illegal to root ones device? [05:18] sorry wrong convo [05:18] yes sorry i was in two irc's at the same time [05:18] not to my knowledge [05:18] ;) [05:19] dr_willis: yeah, my hdd corrupted while was using it. don't want to risk again... [05:19] Burnward: do I disregard your comment then? [05:19] but a similar idea "jailbreaking" for the i devices was almost made illegal for gay reasons [05:19] mm [05:19] Burnward: oh I see [05:19] that would be up to you i think [05:19] My audio device is Intel Corporation 5 series/3400 series with High definition btw. I guess installing realtek was a total mess without first checking the device... [05:19] Burnward: but it's not illegal to 'root' an Android device .... right!? [05:19] rabbi11: vbox was not to blame i inagine IF you were using a virtual drive [05:20] zetheroo: not to my knowledge but sooner or later it will be, just wait companies and stuff will say the same thing as apple and sony, copyright blah blah blah and call anyone with root access to their computer a blackhat hacker and come after us [05:20] dr_willis: creating a virtual drive and then using it is a better option, is what you mean. [05:21] sony got all pissy when someone posted a video about how to add a new OS to ones PS3 and took him to court, now if he ever does it again he could go to jail [05:21] Hi all, I just installed giplet in Synaptic but the applet isn't in the "Add to panel" window. Do I need to restart Gnome panels or something? [05:22] rabbi11: thats how yoy do it normally. you should NOT use vbox to access a real physical hd. thw docs warn about that [05:22] zetheroo: which is incredibly stupid when you consider that since you bought the device you should be able to do with it as you please [05:23] dr_willis: I missed the beginning of this discussion, but my understanding is that using a VM to access a physical drive/partition as a VMDK is perfectly safe if you know what you're doing [05:23] dr_willis: ok, may be that was the problem, vbox saves my xp in .vdi format... [05:23] got to get rid of this ASAP [05:23] hello, I'm wondering, I want to change my Ubuntu computers name, how do I do that... other than reinstalling it [05:23] zetheroo: i switched to lxde because i dont like unity and gnome was starting to get to far away from the simplistic philosophy i like [05:24] rabbi11: then you did use a virtual hd. [05:25] JokesOnYou77: thats a big if. ;) [05:25] dr_willis: unable to understand [05:25] hola [05:25] rabbi11: time to read the vbox docs i think [05:25] dr_willis: right [05:25] :) thanks [05:25] you make a virtual drive normally. [05:26] question: how can i get my hands on a gentoo iso, i go to the website but i don't know how to get the file from an FTP [05:26] or you set it up to access a real partition. which is warned against in the docs [05:26] <___MAX> eiriksvin : http://ubuntumanual.org/posts/143/how-to-change-computer-name-in-ubuntu [05:27] dr_willis: fair enough. I just didn't want it portrayed as a kind of taboo, as I think it's actually a really powerful feature of the software [05:27] and petentially dangeros. [05:27] does anyone know why ssh bind isnt working for me? it was working a little earlier just fine but now it just lists the usage parameters when i type it: ssh -L 5000:192.168.1.1:5000 [05:27] so it is not reccinwnded === kudu is now known as Guest24230 [05:28] FTP? cause i don't know how to work one of those [05:29] <___MAX> thanx [05:29] <___MAX> ;) [05:29] any web browser can do ftp normally [05:29] all it does is open a web age full of links [05:29] none of them download an iso [05:29] so click on thw eight obw [05:29] ? [05:29] ask in gwntoo. i guess [05:30] dr_willis: oh yeah, big time. Maybe you could answer this for me, if I want to run Win7 from a VMDK while using Ubuntu as my principle system is it safe to access data (e.g. my music) on a shared data partition (probably NTFS) while both OSs are running? [05:30] this is ubuntu. ;) [05:30] yeah [05:30] but im using ubuntu [05:30] the question is more relevent to how to get files from those stupid ftp pages [05:31] so I have a ubuntu install that kernel panics whenever I leave it on for more than 1 hour [05:31] you just cluck. or right cluck and save [05:31] how should I troubleshoot this? [05:31] just saves the web page [05:31] orneryrabbit: is it natty version? or beta of oneiric? [05:31] JokesOnYou77: NO~ don't mount file system in two running FS . [05:31] JokesOnYou77: a samba share? [05:31] OS [05:32] Burnward: find tge right link i guess. its not ubuntu s fault [05:32] dr_willis: i didn't say anything baotu fault i just don't know how to do it [05:32] http://distfiles.gentoo.org/releases/alpha/autobuilds/current-iso/ [05:32] So I can't mount a shared partition (or a second drive) on a VMDK while that partition.device is mounted in the host OS? [05:33] dr_willis: thats what im talking about i dont know how to get those files [05:33] it's just an example but ive missed out on alot because they allways seem to be on pages like that [05:34] Burnward: the top iso link works here. [05:34] :| [05:34] so it is my computer then! [05:34] click and it downloads [05:34] all it does is blink on my computer [05:34] try wget to the url [05:35] gotcha [05:35] JokesOnYou77: Doing so you will have a corrupted filesystem ~ use NFS/ Samba / SSHFS [05:35] I've got a freshly built Natty server, that is unable to reach speeds of over 5.5Mb/sec despite being on a gigabit backbone, and registering its connections as gigabit. lshw -c networking shows both as size and capacity as 1Gb. All other devices plugged into that switch function as expected, with between 700 and 800Mb/sec. I have tested the same cables/ports in other servers and speeds are [05:35] fine. I've also tested one of the ubuntu box's NICs in a different server and receive proper speeds as well. Both NICs are set to full auto. [05:35] now it's working [05:35] thx [05:35] CPU usage is fine, disk IO is minimal, however all network performance is horrible. [05:36] wget woeks but nit the briwser? odd. [05:36] im tryin to set up a virtual machine using gentoo [05:36] on less than 200 kib of ram [05:36] RobbieCrash: how are you testing it? File transfers? what protocol? [05:36] *MiB [05:36] wildbat: Booo!!! Really? Is that a limitation of the NTFS system by any chance? [05:37] Richie086 I've tried SCP, FTP, CIFS/Samba, iperf. TCP and UDP connections both fare the same. [05:37] ouch [05:37] :( yeah [05:37] is this the only ubuntu/linux box on this network or are there others? [05:38] JokesOnYou77: no ~ most (if not all) filesystem isn't disigned to be mounted by more the one OS at the same time. [05:38] JokesOnYou77: treat a vbox machine as you would a real one. ;) use its networking features [05:38] and are you xfering from/to one machine or is this being tested on many machines? [05:38] or networked devices [05:39] RobbieCrash: and this is a fresh install? [05:39] hi guys. do you know any room where you can make fun of windows 8? [05:40] Burnward: I agree fully [05:40] maalac: in freenode, no not really [05:40] Richie086 it's the only physical Ubuntu box. I've got Solaris, Slackware and RHEL running in VMs on ESX5. All other physical boxes are Windows. My network is split between two switches. Switch A has the Ubuntu box and the VM hosts and is a gigabit switch. It's connected to Switch B. I've tested from the VMs to things behind Switch B, and get 700-800Mbps. Testing between VMs and the ubuntu boxes [05:40] only hit switch A and all only receive about 5Mbps max. [05:40] zetheroo: good to know, where did you go for those five minutes? [05:41] anyone here use eeepc? [05:41] Burnward: ha ... tech call came in [05:42] So it sounds like the best way to do this would be to turn both my Win7 partition and my /data partition into a single VMDK and then share /data from within Windows (for better or worse I still use windows about 60% of the time). What will this mean in terms of my permission levels on /data from withing Ubuntu? I currently have the problem where /data is NTFS and doesn't give me full... [05:42] ...permissions when accessed from Ubuntu [05:42] ?. [05:42] zetheroo: oh, you like at work? [05:42] Burnward: yes sir [05:42] eth0 has disappeared from my connections. How do I get it back :S [05:43] Richie086 It's a fresh install, well, fresh-ish. I've finished configuring it, but it's only been built for a day [05:43] executionist go to terminal and type sudo ifup eth0 [05:43] anyone know how I can configure vino vnc server on Ubuntu to disable server side mouse/keyboard/monitor? [05:43] zetheroo: lucky, i wish i had a job involving a computer more than just as a cashregister [05:43] workin my way through college sucks [05:44] how do i pull a console up on ubuntu? [05:44] alt ctrl t [05:44] i'm in the "try ubuntu" in livecd [05:44] RobbieCrash: ifup: interface eth0 already configured [05:44] thx [05:44] got it tables? [05:44] k [05:44] I'm erasing a thumb drive to use as a boot disk, any ideas for the best format? [05:44] Burnward: would not know sorry .... I never went through college .. [05:45] 2gb [05:45] no more than 2 [05:45] if you wanna install [05:45] zetheroo: job u work? [05:45] partition it [05:45] RobbieCrash: I setup my modem in bridge mode then I used eth0 to dial the pppoe connection itself from ubuntu, Now I want to undo what I did, being failing till now [05:45] Burnward: I'd go with FAT or FAT32 [05:45] when i do 'free' i only corp2/ [05:45] er sorry [05:45] executionist do you see it when you do ifconfiig? [05:45] when i do 'free' i only see about 2gigs of ram when i usually have 4 [05:45] yes I see it [05:45] can this be fixed one ubuntu installs? [05:46] i'm in "try ubuntu" [05:46] in livecd [05:46] not sure why [05:46] that would say that [05:46] executionist what does it say? [05:46] zetheroo: why fat? [05:46] PM me [05:46] Burnward: IT support and consultant ... largely self-taught ... [05:46] jokesonyou77: why fat? [05:46] eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:11:43:ac:ed:2a [05:46] UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 [05:46] RX packets:61 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 [05:46] TX packets:29 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 [05:46] collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 [05:46] RX bytes:8404 (8.4 KB) TX bytes:1856 (1.8 KB) [05:46] executionist: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[05:48] hi [05:48] hi tap [05:48] Burnward: You're making a bootable flash drive, right? FAT has the most cross-platform support of any filesystem so it's very appealing for using in applications when things like BIOS need to access it, I also think squashfs likes it best, though I might have just made that up... [05:49] i'm trying to install the ati drivers, it keeps saying that I have previously installed drivers. How can I remove them all? I've done every removal instruction found on google, yet it still detects another driver [05:49] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/FglrxInteferesWithRadeonDriver [05:49] that there [05:49] Hi, everyone [05:49] question how would a 4gb flash drive swap partition effect(affect?) my system? === Tectu|off is now known as Tectu [05:49] which version of ubuntu tap? [05:49] Burgiking, are you swapping? [05:50] 11.04 [05:50] or whatever is latest [05:50] burn, i dont know it just installs easier on a 2gb. [05:50] jokesonyou77: thanks i appreciate that [05:50] Burnward: I'd need a lot more info on your system to answer that [05:50] and I think it's effect, but not entirely sure [05:51] compaq presario v2000 30 gib hdd, 512 mib ram [05:51] hmm [05:52] Burnward, if you swap, it will be better than a regular drive [05:52] tapout: why's that? [05:52] I'm running on a ssd and 2GB swap, and none is being used [05:52] a flash drive is faster than a regular drive, by far [05:53] that's what you're asking right, if you use a 4GB swap partition on a ssd vs a regular drive.. no? [05:53] morning all [05:54] tapout: yes and no, i have a thumb drive and a super old computer (last one died in a fire) and i was wondering if 4GiB of swap would speed up my computer signifigantly [05:54] i'm on "try ubuntu" on the livecd and "free" shows 2G of total ram, after i install will i get the 4G i normally have? [05:54] Burnward: Well, SWAP is essentially using the HDD for RAM, i.e. virtual memory. But it's a lot slower than RAM because it's limited by the read/write speed of the disk. In your case i'd say an extra 4GB of SWAP could really help you by allowing you to run more memory-intensive applications and even some slightly improved multi-tasking, but it won't be as dramatic as adding additional real RAM [05:55] what's the next LTS version? [05:55] jokesonyou77: i was afraid of that [05:55] Burnward, ohh... when a machine is swapping, it's doing it to clean out the ram, or it's out of ram and swapping bad... if it's the second .. you're screwed... [05:55] Hi all! I'm using Mozilla Thunderbird, but the weekly calendar printout is in the five boxes plus two half boxes for the weekend format. I want to print out seven columns. Is there a program that will do that? [05:56] thanks guise i know that to do now [05:56] tables, file /bin/bash, is it 32? [05:56] yea 32 [05:56] my 32 always detected 4GB, so that's weird.. [05:56] Maybe an add-on? [05:56] i'm on "try ubuntu" [05:56] i didn't install yet [05:56] So I think I scared off dr_willis and wildbat with my last question :P [05:57] well forget it, i'll find out after [05:57] maybe it has 2GB as a /dev/shm, and 2 as usuable [05:57] usable [05:57] how easy is it to install virtualbox on ubuntu? [05:57] tables, EASY [05:57] im at work. ;) [05:57] apt-get install virtualbox? [05:57] tables, 2 seconds .. [05:57] tables: try a 64-bit version of the live CD and see if it helps [05:57] tapout: using the sources on the default installed ubuntu? [05:57] I think i ram the latest virtualbox from the downloads they provide [05:57] have you tried truecrypt on ubuntu? [05:58] yes [05:58] easy [05:58] dr_willis: ahh, my apologies then [05:58] truecrypt = awesome [05:58] so it can encrypt the whole disk? [05:58] easily [05:58] keepass2 awesome [05:58] with their install? [05:58] does anyone know how to use "Generate package download script" from Synaptic's package manager, on the command line ? ? [05:58] Is there maybe a thunderbird channel? [05:58] i've never done the full install as encrypted, no .. but there are guides online i've seen that people do [05:58] bbl got a job to do. [05:58] k [05:58] i use truecrypt on my dropbox [05:58] it's beautiful [05:59] Hello everyone. [05:59] tapout: so i can install virtualbox for sure with the sources the default install has? [05:59] with just apt-get install virtualbox? [05:59] oh geez. what's the "touch; unzip, unf unf unf" joke again? [05:59] tables: you can use the alternative install disck to do a full system encryption. [05:59] tables, i go with latest virtualbox [05:59] and its rather easy also [06:00] tables, i went with this: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads [06:00] i run backtrack/win7 in virtualbox, both no issues [06:01] found it: http://www.unixresources.net/linux/lf/47/archive/00/00/02/84/28481.html [06:01] Okay, I tried /join #thunderbird, but I'm the only one there. [06:01] anyone have any idea how to use a thumbdrive as the hard drive for virtual box? [06:01] free ops in #thunderbird! [06:01] dsnyders, doesn't mozilla do thunderbird? [06:01] try #mozilla? [06:02] tapout see seamonkey for suite [06:02] i use gmail :) [06:02] hello [06:03] hello [06:03] Since upgrading to Ubuntu 11.10 I am having problems connecting to my wireless network. [06:03] The connection is made, and after about 30 seconds the connection is lost. [06:03] This has never happened with any of the previous versions of Ubuntu. [06:03] IT COMPLETELY LOCKS UP MY ROUTER. The only solution after attempting a connection is to reset the router. [06:03] i need help [06:03] Thanks for the #mozilla suggestion folks. [06:03] How can I change the unity's black box size like in this photo? http://cdn.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/unity2dddd.jpg [06:03] if i install the awesome window manager, how do i choose which window manager is used? [06:03] dsnyders, also consider irc.mozilla.org [06:03] my wireless card is intel wifi link 5100 [06:03] that resize thingy doesn't appear at bottom right corner of my box [06:04] qH, my wireless got better with 11 [06:04] no idea on what the fix for you is... maybe compat-wireless ? [06:04] compat-wireless? [06:04] something like that [06:04] google it [06:05] can I use a file with package names to be selected in Synaptic's package manager? [06:05] StrangeCharm: cant u choose it at the login screen? [06:05] Chheapshot, i don't know, can i? [06:05] StrangeCharm, when you go to login, select the user, and look at the bottom line... it will reveal new options ... [06:06] it's hidden unless a username is selected [06:06] that's how i disabled unity :) [06:06] helllo [06:06] tapout, presumably i can also set a default? [06:06] What version of Unity does Ubuntu 11.10 BETA 2 use [06:06] has anyone here used ubuntu + truecrypt to do full enryption on ubuntu? and was it easy? [06:06] coz I dont seem to resize my dash.. [06:06] man i just uninstalled unity, takes up to much room [06:06] got gnome too [06:06] i'm thinking just downloading truecrypt, installing it, and then encrypting the whole disk <-- this is easy? [06:06] StrangeCharm, it remembers [06:06] StrangeCharm: There is a pulldown menu for choosing session [06:07] Burnward, u mean RAM? [06:07] tables, why use truecrypt. ubuntu comes with fde [06:07] what does it use for fde? [06:07] tables: Use the alternative disck to install ubuntu. U can choose a full system encryption from there. [06:07] bhavesh_: no i mean room, since i use lxde gnoe and unity were just taking up hdd space [06:07] and this is the normal ubuntu install disk that your're talking abou14:00 < qH> my wireless card is intel wifi link 5100 [06:07] *gnome [06:07] t? [06:07] oops [06:07] bad paste [06:07] tables: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:08] ok [06:08] this is the normal ubuntu install disk that you're talking about? [06:08] ok cool [06:08] but they use to much ram as well [06:08] tables, it's on the alt and server install disks [06:08] Chheapshot: what does it use for enryption? [06:08] linux program [06:08] what does his wireless card not work? [06:08] tables my ubuntu is 11.10 [06:08] qH: sorry that was bad paste [06:11] ? [06:11] anyone ever select 'shutdown' and ubuntu treats it as a logout? so you go to the login window and gotta select shutdown again? [06:11] Burnward, it works but he said he has to reboot his router [06:11] tapout use to happen to me [06:11] after 30 seconds [06:11] i reinstalled ubuntu and that didn't happen any more but i never figured out why it did that [06:12] it's only happening on this new computer [06:12] wish i knew why [06:12] not a big deal tho [06:12] love ubuntu, so great [06:12] brb, rebooting [06:14] qH: please take your questions concerning 11.10 to #ubuntu+1 thanks [06:14] kl [06:17] help my install kernel panics when I am starting it up [06:18] orneryrabbit what is panic? [06:20] got my virtual machine workin [06:20] has anyone ever tried taking a virtualbox and cloning an already-installed-win7 and running it in virutalbox? [06:21] tapout: once, that was just before the fire [06:21] alost got it to work [06:21] *almost [06:22] what fire [06:22] computer over heated and caught fire to the papers my sister jammed in my computer cause she thought it was funny [06:22] heh [06:23] nice nickname [06:23] right now she's workig to buy me a new one [06:23] does this command "apt-get -y --print-uris install unity" give you any uri ?? [06:23] it doesn't seem to be working for me [06:26] how do i send desktop notification from cron?? [06:27] Burnward give her a nerf bat, it'll be less harmful :) [06:28] if i didn't want amr to come to her i would have her locked up, shes nuts im just glad we don't live together [06:28] *harm [06:28] heh [06:28] nixmaniack: I don't think cron as an application will be able to do that, however you could put in a call to desktop notification as part of the script cron runs. [06:29] nixmaniack: not sure how easy the api is to work with though [06:29] family! cant live with them, cant be without em [06:29] ikonia, a bash script would do?? [06:29] nixmaniack: well, depends if you can interact with the desktop noticiations api directly from bash, I don't know [06:29] "apt-get -y --print-uris install unity" what's missing in this command so it gives me an uri ??? [06:30] ikonia, i'll give it a try thanks [06:30] tiago: maybe -V? [06:30] what's the -V for? [06:30] Shirakawasuna: [06:31] hmm [06:31] n/m, it works fine here without -V, tiago [06:31] Anyone else get this message? "Some of the packages could not be retrieved from the server(s).Do you want to continue, ignoring these packages?" [06:32] Shirakawasuna: so it gives you an URI? [06:32] i can only get it for certain packages [06:32] tiago: it gives me a bunch, because I don't have unity [06:32] I also got a download error for firefox addblock plus update [06:32] tiago: but I do get the unity one, among others [06:33] 'http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/u/unity/unity_3.8.16-0ubuntu1~natty2_amd64.deb' unity_3.8.16-0ubuntu1~natty2_amd64.deb 628552 MD5Sum:8fccae330267dc438faa6d37824c5a74 [06:33] ok i get it, then probably i should replace install with upgrade [06:33] what do you get instead, tiago? [06:33] maybe you should add --reinstall [06:33] i added reinstall [06:33] to no avail [06:33] darn [06:33] but upgrade seems to work [06:33] cool [06:35] I've got a Windows-only transfer cable that has its own file system with an .exe to handle the transaction. I've got WINE, but I can't run the program because the executable bit isn't set, and I can't set the executable bit because it's a read-only filesystem. Is there any way to bypass permissions to run it? [06:35] viktyr_korimir copy the exe off to local fs [06:35] viktyr_korimir: just run wine from console [06:36] viktyr_korimir: it should not rely on +x there [06:36] Free-man: I've tried that, and the .exe doesn't work if it's not run from the cable's filesystem. [06:36] k [06:36] a cable with a filesystem confuses and intrigues me [06:37] Fuchs: Okay, this is going to sound really stupid, but I don't know how to open the console or how to use WINE on the command line. [06:37] viktyr_korimir: no problem. alt + f2 should open a run dialog [06:37] wine /path/to/file [06:37] ah, open a console [06:37] in unity, find the 'terminal' app (typing 'term' should list it) [06:37] viktyr_korimir: run gnome-terminal in it, if you are using gnome [06:37] then wine /path/to/file [06:38] Shirakawasuna: It's a male-male USB cable that acts as a read-only flash drive that contains the transfer software. [06:38] the tab key can help you to autocomplete file and path names [06:38] viktyr_korimir: that sounds nifty === esigeen is now known as xsign [06:40] viktyr_korimir: if wine doesnt work, you might want to use virtualbox with a real windows, linux can pass through usb devices to it [06:41] Fuchs: Thank you. Hopefully that will crack it. [06:41] viktyr_korimir: good luck [06:41] Shirakawasuna: It's been really, really useful so far-- as long as I had both computers running Windows. [06:42] viktyr_korimir: if it doesnt work, just ask again. but ill be gone in about 5 minutes [06:43] I might still be around after Fuchs leaves. I'll be sure to make whatever simple process is really required take ages :D [06:43] how to check which font file is used by default for a particular non english language ? [06:43] viktyr_korimir: if nothing works, you could try using virtualbox/another virtual machine. [06:43] It's a decent last resort for stuff like that [06:44] hi all === JEEBcz is now known as JEEB [06:55] !german [06:55] In den meisten Ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen.

Is it possible without removing the passwords from the keys? [07:10] hi all [07:10] mekwall: not really as the key is how they authenticate, if it has a password, you'll need to enter it [07:10] mekwall: you can look at things such as the password keeper daemon for example [07:11] mekwall: so you enter the password when you login and it keeps it for all other ssh sessions using those keys [07:11] ikonia: well I was looking at the ssh-agent, but autofs seems to mount as root [07:11] how to install Sakis3g on ubuntu [07:12] mekwall: it will mount as root......but the session initiated should be the user [07:12] how to install Sakis3g on ubuntu? [07:12] is their a way to make unity side dock to be always peaking alittle bit? [07:12] instead of a full hide [07:12] ikonia: hmm, ok... then it should work like I set it up now, but I don't get prompted for a password [07:12] hi [07:13] ikonia: and I've copied both keys and hosts to /root/.ssh/ [07:13] mekwall: why are you using roots keys ? [07:13] mekwall: it should be user based [07:13] how can I make these warnings go away? http://pastebin.com/X3be5rdD. and ikonia please don't tell me not not be bothered [07:13] ikonia: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Autofs [07:13] not according to that [07:13] Kartagis: set the environment variables to the correct langauge [07:14] "Remember, automount will mount your SSHFS file system as root" [07:14] Kartagis: but again - they are just warnings, there is no error there [07:14] mekwall: the actual mount is as root, but the credentials have to be the users, as they are user space [07:14] mekwall: I'm assuming that your doing this through fuse [07:14] ikonia: how do I know what the correct language is? [07:14] ikonia: sshfs uses fuse, yes [07:15] Kartagis: it's your machine, you know what languages you set it to [07:15] hi [07:15] Kartagis: or you could just ignore them, they are just warnings [07:15] Kartagis: just set those (unset) vars in your bashrc [07:15] ikonia: but as you can read on that page, it says I have to copy the keys and known_hosts to /root/.ssh [07:15] how to install Sakis3g on ubuntu? [07:15] ikonia: it's a VPS [07:15] Salut [07:15] mekwall: so the auth is going to come from your user account, which I believe will be user ssh [07:15] Kartagis: so ? [07:16] mekwall: really, can you show me the page. That's a bit of a contradiction as to how I understood it. [07:16] ikonia: I didn't set the OS up [07:16] how to install Sakis3g on ubuntu? [07:16] Kartagis: it's your OS though, so you know how it's setup [07:16] ikonia: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Autofs <-- i just pasted it before :D [07:16] mekwall: I missed it before.

[07:21] ikonia: I have just checked, it it installed [07:21] Kartagis: not according to your system [07:22] do you have to be online in order to install ubuntu 11.04 alternate? [07:22] tables: nor do you have to be online to use the normal installer [07:22] ok cool [07:22] tables: no [07:22] and it should set it up just like when i do "try ubuntu" [07:22] right? [07:22] with the wireless drivers, etc. [07:23] you might not get updates or important drivers that are 3rd party [07:23] tables: correct [07:23] ikonia: should be the same on any distro :) [07:23] mekwall: agreed [07:23] ikonia: locales 2.13+git20100825-1 common files for locale support [07:23] but i can get those updates as soon as i go online, right? [07:23] ikonia: but even the archwiki doesn't cover it :P [07:23] of course [07:23] ok cool [07:23] Kartagis: that doesn't mean the actual file is there as the error says [07:23] mekwall: almost there, just grabbing a few packages [07:23] ikonia: "When the generator ask for a passphrase, just press ENTER.

[07:23] Kartagis: isn't it "en_GB.UTF-8" [07:24] in my case, I did not try ubuntu because I installed on a netbook and it was slow. My wireless drivers weren't supported and I had to download them from a friend's. [07:24] ikonia: what do I do to get it there? [07:24] ikonia: additional difficulties is far from impossible though :D [07:24] the ubuntu 11.04 alternate supports full disk encryption? [07:24] llutz_: I've replaced GB with US in /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local [07:25] Kartagis: less /var/lib/locales/supported.d/* should give you a list of all supported locales- the "UTF-8" i meant, not "UTF8" [07:26] heh, the error went away [07:26] simple typo ... [07:26] llutz_: thanks for pointing out the obvious [07:26] tables I'm not sure but it's likely [07:26] mekwall: the issue is the permissions on /bin/fusermount [07:26] mekwall: just testing this [07:26] you need to encrypt swap too [07:27] ikonia: well, I've managed to login as root with my keys etc... and getting prompted for password, but autofs still doesn't work [07:27] ikonia: I mean running ssh as root, not login as root heh [07:29] mekwall: you are actually logging in as root though [07:30] ikonia: nah, I'm logging in as the user I specified [07:30] mekwall: ahh, I see what you mean, [07:30] sorry, [07:30] ikonia: sudo ssh test@testmachine etc. [07:30] mekwall: yes, I see it [07:30] ikonia: its just that it will use the keys in /root/.ssh when authing [07:31] i save any folder on Ubuntu but when i sign in Window it lost,why? [07:31] hey all. Can someone tell me what I need to do to get these file names to print before they actually display the head? find . | xargs -n1 grep -ils loglevel | xargs -n1 -I {} head {} ?? [07:32] i save any folder on Ubuntu but when i am sign in Window it lost,why? [07:33] nhocht: where do you save it? [07:33] jasonmsp: grep -Hils ? [07:33] after apt-get install, where is the dep? [07:33] can i save it for future use? [07:34] llutz_: -H is default. Its getting lost when it is sent to standard output since it is being read by the next. I'll give it a whirl to test, but I don't think that will work. [07:35] Any idea why that might happen? ATA port resets, freezes the complete system, and after a minute or so it's all back. The funny part is that it also happens when the port is unused, ... [07:35] llutz_: yeah no dice there.

Thanks for the brain bump. [07:36] mekwall: looks interesting [07:37] ikonia: yep :) I really do not wish to remove the passwords from the keys since they are for corporate production servers === jason is now known as jasef [07:37] mekwall: wise [07:38] ikonia: kinda funny that it was easier to mount on windows :P [07:38] does choosing "use entire disk and set up encrypted lvm" in set up effectively encrypt the whole disk? [07:38] mekwall: a little shameful [07:39] fritsch, https://gist.github.com/1250201 <= the funny thing is it happens no matter if there is a SATA hdd connected or not, and basically with the same error messages, the disc LED goes for the whole time full on, the system freezes and that was it. [07:39] I was just trying to install Ubuntu with Wubi on my desktop machine, and it extracted everything from the USB stick I ran it from, then tried to download the AMD64 ISO, saying that the installation was the wrong size, apparently it was looking for 11.10, but my USB has 11.04 on it (the wubi was the one that came in the iso) [07:39] does choosing "use entire disk and set up encrypted lvm" in set up effectively encrypt the whole disk? has anyone tried this? [07:39] oops [07:39] tables: yes it does [07:39] fritsch, currently I've got an old Laptop hdd on it, I hoped that having something really talk with it would help, but still the freezes. [07:39] fritsch: can you put swap in it too? [07:40] atleast afterwards? [07:40] tables: yes you can [07:40] ok because i'm reading guides that say use "manual" [07:40] tables yes, but actually Ubuntu by default encrypts swap with a random key on every boot. [07:40] but i want something easy and effective [07:40] ah ok [07:40] crypto >= 256 are all effective [07:40] but not that fast possible [07:41] how to learn programming on ubuntu? [07:41] anyways to make unity side bad just peak alittle bit and not go completely hidden [07:41] tables, the only issue if you add a second hdd, you'll have to enter your LUKS passphrase twice. Boring if it's always the same, so I usually set it up in a way that dropped me to the initrd prompt, and run a small script of mine that tries a passphrase against all volumes. [07:42] Anyone have any ideas about my Wubi issue? [07:42] yacc: i decrypt with usb key [07:42] yacc: there is no file format on it, just have hidden the key in some raw sectors [07:42] yacc: getting them with dd and unlock [07:42] yacc: i remove the device afterwards [07:42] fritsch, well, I'm not a fan of physical gadgets, I'm one of these guys that stopped carrying a watch because they've got their mobile ;) [07:43] how to learn programming on ubuntu? [07:43] yacc: yes, i am same like this - but my girlfriend wanted to boot this computer [07:43] yacc: without giving 25 letters password [07:43] nhocht, more or less the same as on all other systems, programming as such is not exactly an operating system dependant skill. [07:45] fritsch, well, the new SSD forced my hand anyway, I've ended with a basic setup of system/work filesystem with only $HOME encryption, this way the box can come up without issues to serve the most critical LAN-related services (e.g. routing to the internet, DHCP, DNS, ...), and only the "multimedia" stuff is in LUKS containers. [07:46] yacc: jep - i do the same [07:46] yacc: sssd boots fast [07:46] fritsch, the good part about this is, that I can unlock these easily enough via Internet if absolutely needed (e.g. I'm away for a week on a project site) [07:46] yacc: if key is inserted the other one is decrypted [07:48] What would you reccomend is a better browser for Ubuntu? Epiphany, or Google chrome? [07:48] fritsch, Well, how shall I say => I've kept the funny OCZ sticker "My SSD is faster than your hdd", and wonder if OCZ is will to add the critical addentum "for destroying data" => my OCZ Agility 3 died 2 days after first power on, now I'm back to a slower (but hopefully more reliable) Intel 320 SSD. [07:48] fritsch, you've got the scripts for make-initramfs packed up? [07:49] fritsch, anyway, any idea how to make the %$"$"§ SATA port work correctly or at least how to turn it off?

You can have a look what $PS1 does, e.g. you could replace the w in it with a W (capital) so it only shows the last part of your path [07:58] would this http://www.pcpro.co.uk/reviews/servers/364444/hp-proliant-microserver be a decent platform for ftp/www/file sharing server, using 2nd disk as mirror or rsync redundancy, running ubuntu server of course? [07:58] pros/cons?

The curious thing is, I've found the problem quite a bit of times by google (often on Ubuntu), but it always was the case that somebody was trying to use the port in question, ... [08:05] if I boot to that hdd then I get an error 'unknown filesystem, grub rescue>' [08:05] but probably i should go #bash as i think ;> [08:05] m477: \W not ${PWD} which is something different [08:06] oh [08:07] m477: usual PS1=\u@\h: \w\$ [08:07] m477: or to cut the working-dir PS1=\u@\h: \W\$ [08:07] llutz_: in my case it is [\h] ${PWD} and i shoud it all replace with \W ?

[08:10] laacis: most binaries are in /usr/bin/ [08:10] thx [08:11] m477, that ${PWD} is a variable substitution, remove ${PWD} completely and use \W instead [08:12] Hi Guys [08:16] I like KDE, sorry I had to say that.

[08:21] llutz_: I already have mplayerthumbs installed, will i need to log out or anything?

[08:38] check out the bugilla site [08:38] maxillusionist: VLC plugin is only for firefox is it not? and I said, I don't want to use firefox. It bogs down my system :/ [08:38] llutz_: thanks, alot [08:38] bugzilla.mozilla.org [08:38] nmvictor: did it work? [08:38] Hello, is anybody good at DDNS & DHCP questions ?

[08:45] hey kamzout why don't you use some open source utm [08:45] mornings! is there a backport natty repo for ubuntu 10.04 available?

I have it so when I login, QTile starts up right away, but a few seconds later, the Ubuntu jingle plays, the desktop appears, and this kills QTile. Anyone have a clue? [08:46] mjau^ i use synaptic package mang or ubuntu soft center [08:46] they got all the things of the planet i guess [08:47] 8) [08:48] and what kind of problems the Infinite leases have ? [08:48] hey anybody like to make customised ubuntus [08:48] Hello all, I got some loaded questions about sudoers file and meaning. Can I PM someone about this, i think the questions are noob in nature. [08:49] no prob i guess how can it be so,stupid assertions [08:50] anyone know if it's possible to push local audio to a remote machine via ssh easily?

[08:57] in Preferred Applications, when I choose Firefox from the Browsers list it's fetching the Firefox binary that was installed with the system (Ubuntu 10.04) [08:57] I want it to refer to another binary, how would I do that? [08:57] I want the same Firefox that's in that list, to refer to another binary, that is [08:58] Does anyone know what the mechanic behind gnome starting the window manager before starting gnome-session is:? [08:59] what? [08:59] does anyone here know where i can find dell 948 printer driver for ubuntu? [08:59] Odaym: Are you talking about in your main menu? You can right click on the menu, edit the items in it, and either edit the Firefox shortcut to point to a different binary, or delete and then add a new shortcut [09:00] preferred applications, not main menu, n0rfball [09:00] Odaym: I'm trying to get qtile to startup on login. I've used a gnome session file to set gnome-session --session qtile and created the right file. Qtile starts up, but then the ubuntu jingle happens and it looks like nautilis starts up and this kills qtile [09:00] Odaym: why don't you use a userdefined-entry? [09:01] because "Always check if Firefox is my default browser" changes that back in Preferred Applications [09:01] Odaym: then disable that nonsense [09:02] but then the older binary (Firefox 3.2.x) gets launched by default, unless I launch 7 purposely [09:02] lol ? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FinalFreeze -> "EXTREMELY anal-retentive" -> "Acts of God, Buddha, Vishnu, Zeus, etc " [09:03] ldlework, if I were you I would just go to the GUI and add that application to the Startup applications, I don't know the CLI of doing it [09:03] khaosis: and ecumenically inaccurate... [09:03] :) [09:03] Odaym: Out of interest, why are you wanting Firefox to point to a different binary? [09:04] because the old firefox is installed with the system, I got 7 now, I want THAT to launch as a default [09:04] but the binary under the list of Browsers in Preferred Applications points to the one that shipped with the system [09:04] Odaym: For reference, in future you could have upgraded with the ppa: https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable [09:04] Odaym, im struggling with firefox as well [09:04] Odaym: That way you wouldn't have two versions installed [09:04] I don't know....adding ppa's has never turned out well for me [09:04] ive added the new ppa [09:04] Odaym: mv /usr/bin/firefox /usr/bin/firefox.old && ln -s yourfirefox7 /usr/bin/firefox [09:05] and updated, then tried upgrade and no luck [09:05] mc89__: Which version of Ubuntu are you on? [09:05] ok I'll try that llutz; didn't want to do it first because I had to mess with permissions for /usr/ [09:05] n0rfball, the latest [09:05] stable [09:05] Odaym: needs sudo to do that [09:05] ok [09:06] mc89__: The ppa only support maverick and lucid...

[09:09] ln -s Software/Firefox \7/firefox /usr/bin/firefox [09:09] and I do ls /usr/bin/firefox | grep firefox and it exists [09:09] Odaym: usr full pathes [09:09] use [09:09] hi. I can't do "echo foo > /media/New\ Volume/foobarfred.txt" (bash: /media/New Volume/foobarfred.txt: Permission denied), but I can do the same operation with the GUI file manager... what's wrong? [09:10] full paths..ok [09:10] still won't work [09:11] spaces in paths and filenames can cause issues or hard to see typos also [09:11] Odaym: ls -l $(which firefox) [09:11] when I remove the link and rename the firefox.old back to firefox, it works [09:11] but with the older version again, of course [09:11] hey guys, with my vlc, every video i watch is a bit off with the audio. Now i know these videos are good, what's the fix with vlc? [09:12] isent the firefox binary actually a script? [09:12] yes it is, dr_willis, I'm looking at it now [09:12] dr_willis: it is [09:13] tapout: I get it too. I find it's about 300ms out [09:13] tapout: You can keep hitting J to move the audio back, or K to move it forwards. [09:13] my guess is the script is using the wrong path ir a relative path [09:14] I'm trying to look for something like a path there [09:14] benoliver999, but it's only new.. i've never had it with vlc on ubuntu before [09:14] i know i can shift it, but it's so annoying to have to do that everytime [09:14] tapout: I wish I had a solution.

[10:59] osmosis_paul: do you use an nvidia gpu? [10:59] start giving me problems since i activate the cube mode of workspace [10:59] yes [11:00] yes [11:00] i m, but i had same problem with 11.04 [11:00] 11.04 and nvidia [11:00] so i dont think its version of ubuntu but something else [11:00] banshee works with mp3 just fine [11:00] osmosis_paul: http://70.87.46.147/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=102528 has some options to add to xorg.conf to make it better [11:01] dev__: but you are having the issue in Oneiric presently [11:01] its hugely simple [11:01] ActionParsnip1, and do you know a quick solution, my workspace here in the office is useless now [11:01] had same with 11.04 [11:01] osmosis_paul: yes, add the lines in xorg.conf and reboot [11:01] nothing changed [11:01] dev__: but you are using Oneiric now [11:01] Hey, I'm behind a proxy server, and running Ubuntu in VMWare.

[11:02] oneiric is gnome 3 ? [11:02] i know that [11:02] dev__: Problem is, if you find a solution it may not apply to 11.04.

[11:03] i will fixi it? really dont have time, at least now to resolve this i have to continue working [11:03] osmosis_paul: if you log off and select the Ubuntu Classic session, you will use Metacity instead of Compiz [11:04] auronandace: ok [11:04] :P [11:05] dev__: I can't make it any simpler, you are asking in the wrong channel. Regardless of where the issue started, you are using Oneiric, Oneiric isn't supported here until it is released.

[11:48] mang0: install ubuntu-restricted-extras w32codecs and gnome-mplayer and you'll be ok [11:48] ActionParsnip1: Great thanks :D [11:48] <___MAX> srry, i just i hate the idea about about linux not need antivirus [11:48] Operaist2: run: ln -s /host ~/Windows [11:48] <___MAX> :) [11:49] ___MAX: I did too, when I first installed. I came on here and asked the same things [11:49] Operaist2: you now have a nice link you can easily access the files with [11:49] ___MAX: then install clamav if you like [11:49] ___MAX: But after I learnt a bit more about how linux works, and how small the user-base is (comparative to windows) I realised that I didn't need anitivirus [11:49] if i have a ubuntu in my home and i am in other city with windows, how can i view my ubuntu desktop.. is there a program like radmin ? or something else? [11:49] ActionParsnip1, yes a link wrote in 1995 and updated in 2000... great.... [11:49] mang0: its nothing to do with user base that viruses are not a threat [11:50] xro: still applies [11:50] ___MAX: but as we said, there is no reason to protect linux from viruses with antivirus-software, its just for mailserver and fileservers using windows-clients [11:50] ActionParsnip1, not as certain as you... [11:50] xro: the layout of the mechanics of linux is largely unchanged for its entire life, yet it still works [11:50] On Windows I never had AV either.

I tried the beta ppa and had 7 but it was kinda unstable so I went back to 6.0.2 and wait for the repos [12:12] new to working with linux. anyone spare a second to answer a question or two? [12:12] orbital_fox: firefox 7 is released in the repositories. [12:13] derphead, what version of ubuntu, whats the issue please ask the channel [12:13] bastidrazor, which repos? [12:13] Hey [12:13] who made this Quadrapassel game for ubuntu 10.10? [12:13] i want to kill him [12:14] OgreBoger, thats not appropriate . desist now [12:14] orbital_fox: hrmm. now that i look it appears i have a launchpad ppa for mozilla. :| [12:14] I have upgraded ubuntu 10.04 to 11.04, I had a LAMP environment setup, after upgrade LAMP is not there and most horrible thing is that I don't see var/www/ folder now [12:14] Hello. How would I disable byobu from running on login, considering I can't log on at all to the box (byobu complains about something and crashes), but I can run commands trough ssh? [12:15] mamirulamin: try tasksel (in Terminal) [12:15] bastidrazor, i do to.. the stable one, and they dont have ff7 there yet [12:15] or if they do my synaptic cant see it for a reason [12:15] @MonkeyDust, actual issue is with /va/ww removal, how can I get it back? [12:15] orbital_fox: this is the line in my sources.list for lucid deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mozillateam/firefox-stable/ubuntu lucid main [12:16] bastidrazor, and you got to upgrade to firefox 7? 64 bits? [12:16] orbital_fox: yes. 7.0+build2+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.10.04.1~mfs1 0 [12:16] ah you have lucid [12:17] it's just a question about symlinks. I have files that I work out outside of my var/www/ folder. I like to keep my /www/ folders nice and clean as my working folders would have phing build script and other dev stuff pertaining to each project. I was looking to create a symlink to mirror the content needed for /www/ only. the php files that will actually be on the server. Although when I create the link (shows up fine in the www directory) it gives me permissi [12:17] on errors. When I look at the symlink, it's permissions are lrwxrwxrwx which I'm assuming is the problem? Can symlinks even be used in this way? Thanks [12:17] i am in natty [12:18] mamirulamin: there's testdisk, it's a disk recovery tool, maybe that helps [12:18] test.. [12:18] hey all [12:19] hi, blueskaj,, where do U life..?

[12:23] ActionParsnip1: Have installed mplayer, w32codecs and ubuntu-restricted-extras, but I still get missing plugin info from chrome :/ [12:23] guys, why ibus preference not showing the language i added ? [12:26] So I have this scritp X which starts with './X start'. I want it to be run whenever I turn on the computer so I thew it in /etc/init.d [12:27] but how can I do for Ubuntu running it with the parameter start? [12:28] how do I make sure ssh is running? [12:29] cypha: service ssh status [12:29] test [12:29] unrecognized server [12:29] ssh: unrecognized service [12:29] is what i meant [12:29] cypha: ps aux | grep ssh [12:30] So I have this scritp X which starts with './X start'. I want it to be run whenever I turn on the computer so I thew it in /etc/init.d [12:30] but how can I do for Ubuntu running it with the parameter start? [12:30] markskil1eck, i see gpg-agent --daemon [12:30] how to add language to input method in ibus preferences ? [12:30] so how do i listen to bbc radio news on banshee or totem ??! i m listening it through firefox but can i do it by anyapp ? [12:30] I think you'd rather see sshd [12:30] someone told me some way to check without guessing through grep [12:31] they said it's usually running automatically on startup [12:31] and then gave me a command to check [12:31] cypha: well it doesn't look as though it is. [12:31] cypha: if you have openssh-server installed then ssh will be running all the time. [12:31] markskil1eck, is there a more definitive way to check? [12:32] cypha: the service command i gave you is definitive. [12:32] bastidrazor, I don't think it recognized it [12:32] cypha`: try installing openssh-server [12:32] cypha`: which means it is NOT running. [12:33] Hey, wondering if anyone knows why 7zr is archiving new devices detected in Media (I also see stuff being compressed in Documents occasionally). Is it possible I have a rootkit installed? [12:33] yes, you're right, it's not installed [12:33] installing now [12:33] in /media that is [12:33] how to add language to input method in ibus preferences ? [12:33] ubuntu:~$ service ssh status [12:33] ssh start/running, process 9805 [12:34] cypha: there you go [12:34] bastidrazor, is that good? [12:34] cypha: yes. it is running. [12:34] i still can't access it via ssh [12:34] putty [12:34] it's port 2222? [12:34] cypha: if you're behind a router you have to forward port 22. [12:34] cypha: you can set it to listen on 2222 if you want. === lorddelta1 is now known as lorddelta [12:35] bastidrazor, aah, ok, that was it [12:35] thank you very much [12:35] and you too markskil1eck [12:35] cypha: you're welcome. [12:36] Again, if anyone knows if there is a process on official ubuntu distributions that archives new devices in /media as 7z archives, or if I'm rootkitted and need to do a clean installation...I'd greatly appreciate the input. [12:37] lorddelta: there may be some fuse fuse filesystem addons to auto compress files. but it may depend on exactly what you want to do [12:38] lorddelta: why would you think you are rootkitted? === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [12:43] Hello. Can anyone be so kind in helping me with installing nvidia-drivers through terminal in ubuntu studio? I get a blank screen on boot and cant get past that, luckily i can get into terminal. also, i'm sort of new to linux. === rochild is now known as Sarayu [12:44] Nicklas_: login and try: sudo jockey-text [12:44] "command not found" [12:44] Nicklas_: sudo apt-get install jockey [12:44] thats odd.. :) [12:45] is there any beep .wav in ubuntu? [12:45] sudo apt-get install nvidia-current is what i normally use on mynvidia systems if you cant get jockey going [12:45] cypha`: for what exactly? [12:45] well, this gets me thinking i will need to connect to the internet? [12:45] dr_willis: i wanted to avoid this, because of gl_conf stuff [12:45] dr_willis, i'm replacing the system beep sound in irssi [12:45] Nicklas_: jep, you would [12:45] then i will need to get a cable for my laptop. just a second and i'll try those [12:45] cypha`: gnome has a sound scheme setting to replace the system bell. no idea on changeing the sounds. :) [12:45] cypha`: this can be done by the terminal bell [12:46] i'm replacing the terminal bell [12:46] Nicklas_: yes. you need to be connected ot the internet to get the drivers [12:46] is there any beep .wav in ubuntu? [12:46] I'm looking for that too [12:46] ironic [12:47] gnome has a setting to take over for the system bell/beep - so you could enable that then edit the gnome sound scheme/theme files. [12:47] i'm not running gnome [12:47] now, do i have to do anything to activate internet in terminal? will a reboot do? [12:47] openbox [12:47] cypha`: /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg <- is this okay? [12:47] i'm just looking for an actual file [12:47] yes [12:47] that is [12:47] thanks fritsch [12:47] cypha`: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:48] cypha`: if its using the pc speaker beep. then no theres not a way to change it unless you some how turn on the gnome/pulse sound stuff i imagine. [12:48] that bell.ogg would be whats used by the gnome theme i imagine. But im on a headless ubumntu box so cant verify. [12:48] kk [12:48] dr_willis: i just looked with dpkg -L for sounds [12:48] Now the TERMINAL program you are using May have a setting to change the system beep for that terminal [12:48] dr_willis: i dont want my computer to beep [12:49] fritsch: theres settings to totally turn off the beeps. [12:49] dr_willis: there is also a bash command to get beep [12:49] the actual speaker beep is disabled by default i thought these days. [12:49] dr_willis: something echo sequence [12:49] dr_willis: i hope so, yes [12:49] dr_willis: i made a script for initramfs [12:49] ctrl - a or ctrl-g was a beep. on the console in the old days [12:49] dr_willis: this loads pcspkr [12:49] dr_willis: beeps [12:49] dr_willis: and unloads [12:50] dr_willis: so to know, when i have to type my encryption key blindly [12:50] ok, so something happened, but it's now telling me to change cd. [12:50] theres some 'beep' command you can use to play an actual tune using the pc speaker. :) [12:50] Hello, may I geet some asistence? :) [12:50] *get [12:50] dr_willis: but not in initramfs it is too early [12:51] Anyone? :/ [12:52] no natty firefox 7 yet eh? [12:52] or am I reading the ppa log incorrectly? [12:52] Tenkawa, you need to get it from ppa [12:52] Woops. Seems like my problem got resolved on its own. Sorry guys. See ya. [12:52] Tenkawa, wait a sec [12:53] tommis: thanks.. yeah all I'm seeing is lucid and maverick on the build page on ppa [12:53] anybody out there [12:53] wanted to make sure I'm not seeing things (firefox in general for the last week has been a bit odd for me) [12:53] Tenkawa, sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable [12:53] or did you use some random ppa? [12:54] is there a way to list the permissions for a file or directory with the octal value rather than rwxrwxrwx [12:54] nope.. thats the one [12:54] but if you go look at https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable/+packages [12:54] you'll see what I see [12:55] hmm.. [12:56] Tenkawa, hmm [12:56] maybe it is supposed to come from official repos? [12:56] am trying to load likewise-open but its giving some error please help [12:56] tommis: it will eventually. Just wait a few days. [12:56] i haven't used ubuntu in a while so i can't remember [12:56] maybe so... will wait a few more days [12:57] Pici: its me who brought up the q.. [12:57] when i do sudo apt-get install nvidia-current, somethings happening, but it tells me to change cd. [12:57] oh well.. [12:57] heheh [12:57] Nicklas_, what it says? [12:58] it says i need to put in the cd marked Ubuntu-Studio 11.04 _Natty Narwhal_ - Release i386 in /media/cdrom [12:58] and press enter of course [12:58] hi [12:58] hi back [12:59] ladys>cool [12:59] KATUSSS: maybe this link helps http://ubuntuforums.org/tags.php?tag=likewise-open [12:59] thanks let me check it out [13:00] hi there [13:00] Nicklas_: you still have the cd as a 'source' in your /etc/apt/sources.list [13:00] when I log in to my ubuntu it showes an error and says: you need to load kernel first [13:00] Nicklas_: you most likely want to remove that line. and rerun sudo apt-get update [13:03] meh [13:03] Does anyone know why there are only 4 themes available in 11.10? There doesn't seem to be a mention of the usual Clearlooks etc. [13:03] cat file1.txt > file2.txt replaces the content of file2 with the content of file1, but how do I not replace but *add*?

[13:04] dr_willis: Cheers [13:04] Nicklas_: Huh? the sources list is in /etc/apt/sources.list [13:04] np [13:05] how do i check for processes running on ubuntu [13:05] KATUSSS: the 'ps' command, or 'htop' or 'top' are common ways [13:05] well i go cd /etc an then i go cd /apt. but then i get a message saying there's no such fil or fil katalog? I have it in norwegian, but you probably know what i mean [13:05] Nicklas_: time for some bash basics.. its not /apt [13:05] / -> is saying go to the root of the drive... [13:06] /etc/apt is not the same as /apt [13:06] and not the same as 'apt' [13:06] cd /etc/ [13:06] cd apt [13:06] oh, told you i was new [13:06] i gave the full path. :) [13:11] how to reply to someone on xchat [13:12] i am new here just learning how to use the xchat [13:13] well i got a # in front o there now, but also a ")", but vi acts really weird when i try to type and even just move around with the marker [13:13] hello anyone who is interested to help a fellow enthusiast out, if you have the time to do so [13:13] got some more ram for my webserver / debian client today :) [13:13] I am currently installing 11.04 Ubuntu onto a 64Bit gaming laptop which has Windows Vista already installed on it [13:14] a big problem is that the Ubuntu installer doesn't give the option to "install alongside " [13:14] only the option to replace, and "something else" , so I click something else, and then I am forced to mess with a partition editor, and I know absolutely NOTHING about partitions [13:15] so I've come to the conclusion that, since I have a completely empty partition / D drive, I can use that to install Ubuntu onto. I've formatted it 3 times it's completely empty and I used the "Allocate Drive Space" ubuntu tool to change it to ext2 , since I heard NTFS can't have ubuntu installed onto it [13:15] try installing the 9.0 then upgrade [13:16] hi, having trouble install Hamachi on my ubuntu machine, getting hamachi-init: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory error when making the original config file? [13:16] ubuntu_: you dont need to format it, the ubuntu installer will [13:16] then, I am using this "allocate drive space" tool that is in the installer under the "something else option" and, now that I've set that drive to be ext2 , which is compatible for ubuntu installation, I see that I need to set a device for boot loader installation. I assume it's alright to set it to the same drive that I want to install ubuntu onto [13:16] ubuntu_: no, dont try to install ubuntu on FAT or NTFS [13:16] popey, i stated I set it to ext2 , not FAT or NTFS. [13:16] ubuntu_: sorry, misread [13:17] no probs [13:17] anyways [13:17] i sselect install now , and I see it says [13:17] ubuntu_: boot device can be the disk itself or whatever your current boot disk is [13:17] ubuntu_: if you use the current disk it will replace the boot loader [13:17] i have to set a "root " something [13:17] so I find out that means [13:17] ubuntu_: root filesystem? [13:18] yes [13:18] ubuntu_: that would be "/" the top level [13:18] i found out that meant the mount point [13:18] exactly , however by default none of them have that [13:18] they're all set to be "not used" [13:18] so I set the drive / partition ( I assume they're the same thing), to [13:18] just / [13:18] as you said [13:18] so that's good? [13:19] But then, for boot loader installation, I don't understand which partition I should set that to [13:19] if it shouldn't be the same that I am installing ubuntu onto [13:19] basically you said it could be the boot disk [13:19] but I really don't want that, lol [13:19] and secondly you said, to use whatever I normally use for a boot disk [13:19] but I don't even know what a boot disk is [13:20] so I guess on every harddrive there's a partition meant for being the boot disk? AKA what starts the computer up / starts the OS selection? is that what you mean? [13:20] can I PM you popeye since you're the only one who's talking to me about this, I don't want to spam up the chatroom [13:20] ubuntu_: there is no partition for startup, it boots from the master boot record of the disk [13:21] ikonia: Oh, so what should I set the "boot loader installation" to? [13:21] hi [13:21] :d [13:21] ubuntu_: what does it offer as default [13:21] Because, I have these drives already: dev/sda 1 , 2 , 3 , and 4, and then the whole thing is under "dev/sda" [13:21] ubuntu_: what is it suggesting/offering you [13:22] it gives the big umbrella of dev/sda by default, but it doesn't accept that [13:22] ubuntu_: you boot from the disk (/dev/sda) you have file systems on the partitions (/dev/sda1,2,3) [13:22] ubuntu_: that is only one drive, sda is the drive, the numbers are the partitions [13:22] I've figured out my Sda2 is windows, sda 4 is my windows recovery , but I don't even have the recovery disks so am wondering if I should just format that, [13:22] ubuntu_: sorry, stepped away from my desk [13:22] and sda1 has space taken up but I have no idea what it's for and I know it's not Windows, and also Sda3 is what I've formatted to make be ubuntu's installation [13:22] ubuntu_: it's /dev/sda [13:23] So ikonia [13:23] ubuntu_: that is where you boot from [13:23] are you saying I should set my boot loader installation to the /dev/sda ? [13:23] ubuntu_: yes [13:23] will it not erase my windows installation? I want them side by side , you know [13:23] Also, it talks to me about a "swap" something, but I don't know what to set as that [13:23] ubuntu_: your windows installation is on a partition, not the master boot record [13:23] hi, having trouble install Hamachi on my ubuntu machine, getting hamachi-init: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory error when making the original config file? [13:23] ubuntu_: did you read the install guide ? [13:23] popey: that's OK , friend [13:24] hello, how can i see the content of a website folder: i have a link: www.link.com/example ; when i go there, i get a webpage, but i'd like to find the names the files that are there, such as: www.link.com/example/file.pdf ; is there a way to do that? [13:24] ikonia: no, I just burned my own DVD of it and didn't check out any install guides... but I think I know alot more than someone who is just checking an install guide, at this point, anyways, so I think just getting through these last few parts is all I need, and I'm not sure if an install guide would take more time to read [13:24] ubuntu_: it's clear you don't know a lot more than someone who has read the install guide [13:24] webbrowse: which browser? [13:24] webbrowse, not if the server you're looking at is setup properly. [13:25] !install | ubuntu_ [13:25] ubuntu_: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

[13:25] ikonia: Please forgive my ignorance, however I have never had any experience with programming, so I don't even know what a master boot record is , although I have heard of the term [13:25] ubuntu_: this is nothing to do with programming [13:26] ikonia: therefore are you saying setting my "boot loader installation" won't override anything to do with windows, AKA my files? [13:26] TheRandom: installation is a bit tricky, because this is a very old version [13:26] webbrowse, almost all websites will treat that as a breach of T&C's. It's not the _done_ thing. [13:26] ubuntu_: explained inthe install guide, however popey is helping you so I'll leave you be [13:26] fritsch, that seems to be the case :P [13:26] ikonia: please I didn't say it did however I don't know the terms that a progammer or someone very experienced with computers in a professional way would know " [13:26] TheRandom: try it by: sudo apt-get install libstdc++5 [13:26] ubuntu_: then it's worth reading the install guide [13:26] ikonia: but I know more than an average "Sweet get the new iphone" scrub [13:26] ubuntu_: it's clear you don't. [13:26] I'm out [13:26] ubuntu_: so am i right in saying you have two disks, windows on one, and an empty disk? [13:26] TheRandom: http://packages.ubuntu.com/de/natty/libstdc++5 <- seem to be there [13:26] ikonia: but I actually do [13:26] fritsch, installed, will continue trying to install ubuntu. [13:27] TheRandom: it's not the what? i'm just trying to correct a dead link; i got a link towards a pdf that's broken; i'm trying to find the real link [13:27] ikonia: thanks for nothing thats bad karma for you [13:27] dammit [13:27] -ubuntu + hamachi [13:27] TheRandom: now your script should run [13:27] popey: oh hey I mean, I don't have 2 disks [13:27] webbrowse, what you are trying to do can be used to circumvent login scripts etc. Almost ALL websites won't allow you to see the files in a directory. [13:27] fritsch, thanks [13:27] ubuntu_: you have one physical disk in the machine? [13:27] popey: I have 1 disk with 4 partitions, 1 of them is completely set to be for ubuntu AKA formatted, but in Windows it would be read as a D Drive [13:27] does that count as 2 disks? I'm not sure [13:28] TheRandom: i see [13:28] ubuntu_: ok, i understand [13:28] fritsch, more errors. [13:28] TheRandom: other errors, i hope [13:28] TheRandom: i hope [13:28] ubuntu_: so you set aside a chunk of space for ubuntu, and formatted it in windows [13:28] fritsch, indeed error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.0.9.7: [13:28] ubuntu_: then tried to install ubuntu into that space? [13:28] TheRandom: apt-cache search libcrypto [13:28] ubuntu_: now there's a slight flaw in the plan here [13:28] popey: no I formatted it with ubuntu's live cd's tools [13:28] popey: and im actually on the liveCD ubuntu right now , with the install tool open still on the last steps im stuck on [13:29] ubuntu_: ok, i understand where you are [13:29] TheRandom: sudo apt-get install libssl0.9.7 [13:29] popey: and worst of all the one guy who seemed pro enough to help, turned out to be a huge douche and just left after insulting me lol [13:29] ubuntu_: here is the issue. You can only have 4 primary partitions on a disk, but you have 4 already, and ubuntu needs two by default [13:29] ubuntu_: one is for the / "root" partition, and one is for "swap" space [13:30] ubuntu_: so, I would go into the live cd disk utility and carefuly delete the blank partition you set aside for ubuntu [13:30] ubuntu_: as a tipp there can be infty partitions in an extended volume [13:30] fritsch: I'm getting to that [13:30] fritsch, gotta restart hang on. [13:30] what's the closest to notepad++ on ubuntu? [13:30] openvoid: sorry [13:30] fritsch: no there can't [13:30] there can be 15 [13:30] lol thanks fritsch for tip [13:30] ubuntu_: you can then create an extended partition in which you can have multiple partitions [13:30] VictorCL, that is an alarmingly deep debate :P [13:30] ikonia: thx :-) [13:30] popey: Oh I see. then I can split it's space into 2 new partitions set them to be root and swap? [13:30] VictorCL: why not use a real editor instead of notepad++? [13:31] ubuntu_: exactamundo! [13:31] 15 = F :) [13:31] oh ikonia didn't leave how lovely [13:31] ubuntu_: how much ram does your computer have? [13:31] ikonia: i forgot about the ironie again [13:31] I just need something with syntax color for javascript,php ,html [13:31] fast . not an IDE [13:31] VictorCL: vim [13:31] just an editor [13:31] :P [13:31] popey: but if I do that, it will be at 4 partitions all over again right [13:31] that looks nice :p [13:31] popey: I have another problem that the partition i've set aside for ubuntu is very small at 6 GB [13:31] VictorCL: if you want a gui, use gvim or emacs [13:31] ubuntu_: no, an extended partition _contains_ multiple partitions [13:31] VictorCL: scite, both scite and notepad++ are based off of scintilla. [13:32] popey: Oh so do you think 6 GB is enough space to create an extended partition out of ? [13:32] VictorCL: but its always a good idea to know how to handle vi/vim [13:32] will check it out [13:32] ubuntu_: thats big enough for a basic install, but not much room for growth [13:32] I hate vim [13:32] VictorCL: why? [13:32] have to use commands to do most stuff ,, never remember all those commands [13:32] 'net usershare' returned error 255: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares.

[13:34] gvime has tabs ? [13:34] popey: that way, I won't risk losing my personal files by resizing the windows ' partition and adding space to the ubuntu partition, because the windows installation will have nothing on it that I need or care about [13:34] ikonia: his means the number of logical drives that can be formed within an extended partition is limited only by the amount of available disk space in the given extended partition. quoted from wikipedia [13:35] iceroot, why does my system have Samba ... it didn't cause this issue yesterday and the only thing I installed was FCGI? [13:35] fritsch: read again [13:35] ubuntu_: sounds like a time consuming plan [13:35] ubuntu_: do you have an external disk you could use to copy stuff onto ? [13:35] TrueColors: e.g. wine is pulling samba/winbind. also samba is installed when interacting with windows-networks [13:35] the shrink/resize/move method can be fraught [13:35] iceroot, what would class as a windows-network ?

[13:36] i've used* [13:36] ikonia: ah you talk about the libata change, so in deed linux is limited to 15 [13:36] ikonia: this comes from libata managing now both scsi and ide? [13:36] TrueColors: maybe samba is installed by default because of nautilus which can interacte with windows-hosts [13:37] TrueColors: but i dont think that samba itself is your problem [13:37] TrueColors: why you net the command "net shares" (which is for windows-services on a network) [13:38] anyone that knows why i cant use the letters öäå when naming files on my harddrive?

[13:41] clone234: i cant imaging there is one file in the world which is needing that chars [13:41] :) [13:41] I call rubbish on that [13:42] clone234: in germany we use "ae" instead of "ä" [13:42] why is [x] button to close windows to the left? .. when most people are right handed ?

[13:46] Polah, ?? [13:46] sean__: not possible if you want to "extract" the iso [13:46] sean__: only if you split the iso to more then one disc but the disc then only contains a part of the iso and not its content [13:46] sean__: what kind of iso? [13:46] curious_yellow: yes [13:47] an os iso [13:47] wth are all these connections for [13:47] sean__: what are you going to do with it afterwards? [13:47] will have a os on it [13:47] sean__: Type man split in a terminal, it'll give you the manual for the split command. Although, arbitrarily splitting and ISO and putting parts on different disks doesn't sound like it'd work. Perhaps use a USB drive instead. [13:47] curious_yellow: e.g. local connections from programs, listening daemons and so on [13:47] sean__: you cant split it and have it be bootable on 2 cd's if thats what you are after [13:47] curious_yellow, leave it idle and theyll go away [13:47] curious_yellow, theyre prob half open [13:47] sean__: buy a dvd [13:48] sean__: What you can do it configure GRUB to boot from the ISO. Then you can make a partition for it, install there then boot into it and repartition again [13:48] sean__ that will not work [13:48] well this may sound stupid.. but i have a 4 gb dvd disc that only has a dvd on it.. is there away to put the iso on their? [13:48] ive put iso files on my /boot/ partition and set grub2 to boot them :) but each iso/os can be differnt to setup [13:49] sean__ not you will need a new dvd [13:49] only has a dvd on it? huh? you have to burn the iso as an image file. it cant share. :) [13:49] Lol so i cant format it? [13:49] :P [13:49] dr_willis: how do you do that /boot stuff? [13:50] How about vmare? [13:50] So I changed the interface file to make the ip static [13:50] but for some reason it is not listening [13:50] MonkeyDust: i make a /boot/ partition thats like 10gb. to hold the iso files. then i make a /etc/grub.d/40_custom with the right entries to boot each iso. [13:50] sean__, if its rewritable you can [13:50] it went to dhcp on reboot [13:50] sean__: whats your end goal anyway? [13:50] sounds great [13:50] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11295923#post11295923 any help greatly appreciated! [13:50] dr_willis: you don't need /boot on it's own partition, mind. You could just create an "isos" folder in /boot/ and then point GRUB there for them. [13:51] Polah: i wanted /boot/ on its own partition. :) [13:51] Polah: that way i can reinstall the actual Ubuntu OS if i wanted to.. [13:51] new release.. i put the new iso in /boot/ and boot it// reinstall the whole os. [13:51] kk now for another question.. i put a dvd in my cdrom.. so why doesnt it say anything [13:51] after i backup my 40_custome :) [13:52] doesnt have no pic of a cd rom on desktop [13:52] well, /boot does not have its own partition here and i'm not going to repartition *again* ;) [13:52] sean__: whats on the dvd? [13:52] nothing [13:52] sean__: if theres no data or fs on it.. it cant mount it. [13:52] sean__, thats prob why [13:52] dr_willis: You could store 40_custom on your boot partition and symlink /etc/grub.d/40_custom to it [13:52] Im tryin to burn the iso on the dvd [13:52] wont let me?.. [13:52] Polah: i got 40_custome archived on my ubuntu one account. :) it rarely changes .. [13:52] sean__, use brasero. or are you trying a dvd in a cd drive?

(beta) [14:12] anyone could help me 'figurging out' why wifi cant be get to work in my laptop: bcm: 4311 chip... [14:13] i tried both broadcom sta drivers, and the old fwcutter.. neither seem to work [14:14] How do I specify the key that I want to use for connecting via ssh? [14:14] ssh -i [14:15] Thanks ikonia. === Mrono|tT is now known as Mrono|work [14:18] i got wireless net connection, usb. I am not getting the maximum speed in ubuntu, which i am getting from windows. how can i solve this prob? [14:18] rabbi1: it's most likley a weakness in the Linux driver [14:19] ikonia: i have not specified the APN, and if i specify the APN i won't get the connection [14:19] hello everybody, I just see a video of "Gnome 3 without Shell" And I would love to know if that is possible? Can i Run Gnome 3 without Shell? [14:19] rabbi1: I have no idea why you've told me that as it has ntohing to do with what I've just said [14:19] SadlyMistaken, in fallback mode [14:20] ikonia: :) i have nt agreed for it too [14:20] rabbi1: I don't know what that means [14:20] ikonia: linux drivers- u mean usb modswitch ? [14:20] no === rochild is now known as Sarayu [14:21] I mean the kernel module that allows your device to function within linux [14:21] ikonia: how could i solve this then? [14:21] Gentoo64, thanks a lot [14:21] rabbi1: I doubt you can, from personal experience and research the lower performance in linux than windows wirless issue is normally caused by a poorer quality Linux kernel module than the windows one [14:22] ikonia: :( time to sit tight [14:23] ikonia: also, y can't i connect with an APN mentioned ? [14:23] ikonia: may be that APN might help in improving the speed [14:23] I don't know, I don't understand how you can be complaining about speed, if you're then telling me you can't even connect [14:24] could anyone help me find out why i dont get wiriless with a bcm4311 chipset... i tried both sta and b43 firmware isntaller + fwcutter but to no luck... - yet sudo frkill list all shows neither softare block or hardware block are on... [14:24] trying to get a Tascam US144 working under Ubuntu, got an issue [14:25] ikonia: how can i add a language to in input method in ibus preferences ? any idea ?

[14:25] yes [14:25] ruan: you're going to have a hard time with that [14:25] ruan: support is very poor [14:25] rabbi1: I don't use ibus [14:25] i heard, but why wouldn't there be usb modules [14:25] Fairly urgent, my server has fallen off the network, local tech says its saying 'Invalid Connection' so it's not on the network, possible causes? [14:26] module not found, ohci_hcd, ehci_hcd etc [14:26] ruan: if the support is poor, there would not be modules for it [14:26] ikonia: yeah, you all stick to a single language. that's an advantage [14:26] :) ok ikonia take care, got to watch a live match. catch ya [14:26] ok why is font rendering so terrible in unity 2-d [14:26] is there a way to fix that? [14:26] i mean standard usb modules, trying to get the name of the usb 1.1 and 2.0 module [14:26] pants_, screenshot? [14:26] anyone know how to encrypt all data over the internet? Proxy only encrypts up to the proxy, and not all sites have SSL configured. [14:27] ruan: what makes you think they are not there [14:27] Xeneth: you can't, [14:27] when i try to modprobe ohci_hcd it's not found [14:27] Xeneth: once it leaves your proxy, it's not up to you [14:27] ruan, should be built in [14:28] ah. so no way to disable it without recompiling kernel [14:28] rabbi1, wich language would you like to add to ibus ? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ibus [14:28] I thought they where still modules [14:28] Xeneth: use only sites with ssl [14:28] ruan, im only guessing its built in [14:30] Banshee keeps crashing after one song. Is there anything I can do? [14:30] bagels: Run it through a terminal to see if it throws an error when it crashes, then tell us what it says. [14:30] bagels, run dmesg [14:30] or what polah said [14:31] Polah, aye aye [14:32] Gentoo64, http://i.imgur.com/og2iH.png [14:32] maybe it's just me, but in xchat and terminal especially the font seems to have gotten really crappy [14:32] pants_, not sure. they look a bit skinny in the apps but not in the menubar [14:33] in the system settings there should be something to look at rendering like rgb etc [14:33] Polah, Gentoo64: [14:34] http://pastebin.com/MHycGDeq [14:34] Polah, Gentoo64 ^ [14:34] hey guys: [mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop. Xorg uses 100% cpu. any idea? [14:34] sqlite error [14:34] not sure how to fix it as i dont use either [14:35] bye [14:35] ok that's a little better on xchat's end [14:35] pants_, what did you change? [14:35] I ran dmesg | tail what does "[51763.339437] [drm:drm_edid_block_valid] *ERROR* Raw EDID:" mean? [14:35] just changing the font really [14:36] Polah, Gentoo64 whisper me, I'm AFK [14:36] i seem to not have the option to do the smoothing rgb in my system settings [14:36] I try to record audio from default output but there is a constant hiss: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/224429/output.mp3 any suggestions what might be the reason? [14:36] i don't know what i changed but apparently that just isn't an option for me [14:37] not sure what else to suggest, idk what unity 2d changes [14:37] cant use dual monitor in ubuntu 11.04 !! [14:37] unity 3d is a little hard on my system haha so i figured i'd give it a try but i do miss classic gnome :/ [14:37] why have things become so paiful in the latest versions [14:37] pants_, why not use the classic then [14:37] or is that what unity 2d is? [14:38] well that's my own fault i think [14:38] i upgraded to gnome 3 [14:38] anyone using Maxtor G400/G450 dual screen on ubuntu 11.04? [14:38] pants_, ah ok thats not recommended [14:38] now at the login screen it doesn't give me the option for classic anymore [14:38] !gnome3 [14:38] 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. [14:38] ikonia: jrib: One could hope. Need to setup a protocal for client end encryption. Thanks anyhow. [14:38] pants_ try FALLBACK [14:39] well, i'd prefer not to spend time reinstalling everything so for now i guess this will have to do [14:40] no one got maxtor G400/450 here ? [14:40] pants_: could try ppa-purge but the OS may still be unstable [14:40] pants_: you could always install a different DE and use that [14:40] de? [14:40] desktop environment [14:40] pants_, id backup the important stuff and clean install. if you're lanning on using ubuntu for a long time [14:41] pants_: something like xfce, kde or lxde [14:41] to be honest i'm getting a new computer here in a couple days, i've been using a 3 year old netbook for the better part of a year and windows was not cutting it [14:42] pants_, ah ok. well at least now you know not to put gnome 3 on the new comp, if your gona put uubntu on :) [14:42] i probably will haha [14:42] i usually end up installing ubuntu for a while, and seeing how it runs === Plinker__ is now known as Plinker [14:42] i think the next ubuntu 10.10 will be better [14:42] or use something like fedora which has gnome 3 built in [14:43] A while ago, I installed landscape-client and landscape-monitor and now as a result my server constantly spikes load [14:43] i'm not super old school but i remember the dapper-edgy-fiesty growing pains [14:43] pants_: gnome3 is default in Oneiric [14:43] I have tried to remove ubuntu landscape but can't. [14:43] Is there a way that I should be following? [14:43] hell i remember trying to get dapper to just play more than one sound at once === l is now known as Guest44377 === chris_ is now known as Guest76261 [14:44] * pants_ shutters at messing with alsa [14:44] never had an issue with sound [14:45] i think the ironic thing was neither did i [14:45] i just thought i did [14:46] but as it turns out it was just a simple line in a conf and i was fine, but i spent the better part of a while trying to get it working thinking something was wrong [14:46] when is there a update for mozilla [14:46] use a ppa [14:47] i dont think ubuntu updates versions [14:47] Gentoo64: sure it does, just slowly [14:47] o ok [14:47] how can i do it faster [14:47] glennd: add ppas [14:47] use a ppa [14:47] to get the newest version of your browser atm do sudo apt-get install chromium [14:48] chromium isnt mozilla [14:48] glennd: which version do you want? [14:48] lol [14:48] the last version 7 [14:48] and it doesn't have a bugg that destroys your plugins like firefox 7 did [14:48] glennd: i've seen a PPA with version 9 [14:48] 9 is nighly === magentar_ is now known as magentar [14:49] glennd - mozilla revoket version 7 === Guest76261 is now known as cdwlighting [14:49] ichat: it does not destroy them, it just ignores some that were updated recently [14:49] there are waying on fixing a show spopper bugg [14:49] ichat how can i get that version [14:49] glennd: cd /opt; sudo wget ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/7.0/linux-i686/en-GB/firefox-7.0.tar.bz2; sudo tar zxvf ./firefox-7.0.tar.bz2; sudo rm ./firefox-7.0.tar.bz2; sudo ln -s /opt/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/firefox-7.0 [14:49] chromium is so stable imo ive been on svn for a long long time not a single problem [14:50] Gentoo64: same, I use the nightly build :) [14:50] ActionParsnip, what version you on?

[14:53] but they can use grep ... [14:53] antihoax, go then [14:54] arghrrr. still cant find the da*####### solution for that horrible bcm wifi crap [14:54] ActionParsnip, is the version that you give installed in the same directory of the version installed with the ppa [14:54] whatsup? [14:54] glennd: the command I gave uses /opt to hold the app [14:54] antihoax, stop trying to troll [14:54] ActionParsnip, what ? [14:55] anyone seen NixiePixel ? [14:55] glennd, the ppa will overwrite the existing install afaik [14:55] anonissimus: did you set the amplified too high? [14:55] antihoax, yes... [14:55] what is afaik ?

[14:55] glennd: as far as I know [14:56] Gentoo64<< when? [14:56] ActionParsnip, how can i see where it is installed now [14:56] glennd: ppa:mozillateam/firefox-next will overwite the version, the command I gave will allow you to have it side by side [14:56] antihoax, ill ignore you [14:56] :) [14:56] glennd: where what is installed? [14:56] do whatever [14:57] Stanley00: it is either that or barely audible === iqpi is now known as iqpi|movie [14:57] the only parameter that changes the hiss is the microhone boost [14:57] !away > iqpi|movie [14:57] iqpi|movie, please see my private message [14:57] Argh, wrong channel again [14:57] glennd: try which [package] [14:59] anonissimus: try lower micro boost and speed louder, that's all I can suggest ;) [15:00] how can someone attach to my screen and see what I'm doing?

I need some hardware help with my new Ubuntu insallation attempt. [15:02] tiuman: Put: LANGUAGE=en before "g++". [15:02] dv310p3r: haven't tried that, sounds interesting [15:02] MonkeyDust, I've done it many times before, but I just can't remember the commands. Thanks anyhow. [15:02] Okay so Im having a bit of a problem. I have Ubuntu installed on my Dell Inspiron Duo and everything was working fine, after a reboot my wireless networking suddenly no longer works [15:03] jpds [15:03] Shawn_: are you fuly updated? [15:03] jpds is not work [15:03] LANGUAGE=en before "g++". [15:03] tiuman: Actually, that won't help much, you should probably speak to the code's author about the error. [15:03] ActionParsnip, Yes its fully updated to the latest version of 11.04 [15:04] If I install Ubuntu from windows using the "Windows Installer", is my Windows OS becomes corrupted, is my Ubuntu installation in jeopardy? [15:04] Shawn_: ok can you run: sudo lshw -C network; lsb_release -a; sudo rfkill list use http://pastie.org to host the text [15:04] Chris3, maybe [15:04] Chris3, id put them on seperate partitions [15:04] Chris3: as long as the files are healthy, you will be ok [15:04] i wouldnt blend linux and windows together [15:05] Hi all, is there a special channel for Ubuntu 11.1? [15:05] dv310p3r: can't say, if you find or remember it, please let me know [15:05] Gentoo64 middleman on ubuntu [15:05] katronixserf: #ubuntu+1 [15:05] Gentoo64: OK, that is the answer I was seeking. It made sense to me to put them on separate partitions. [15:05] ty [15:05] ActionParsnip, I run all those things at the same time? [15:05] Gentoo64: Thank you! [15:05] Chris3, well that way you will be off ntfs as well [15:05] Shawn_: yes, its a single command [15:05] MonkeyDust, wil do [15:06] Yesterday I got my USB flash drive to boot to Ubuntu and I selected "Install Ubuntu to HD." The installation began and recognized my 1TB SATA HD. The installer failed with an error (unfortunately I didn't record the message) and every attempt since has failed to recognize the HD. Can anybody help me diagnose this? [15:06] Gentoo64 middleman on ubuntu.. [15:06] idk what that is [15:06] ill google it [15:06] what is it? [15:06] Gentoo64: I was actually thinking of just dropping a second phyiscial hard drive in my PC Box, and installing on that. Then I could select which HD to boot from when I start my computer. [15:07] Chris3, thats even better yes. unplug the windows drive when installing though to be 100% sure the bootloader gets written to the ubuntu drive [15:07] Gentoo64 proxy [15:07] Chris3: are you using Windows 7? [15:07] Middleman filtering proxy server [15:07] ActionParsnip: No, I am using XP Pro [15:07] Chris3, that way you'll have pure ubuntu on one and pure windows on the other [15:07] MonkeyDust, http://news.softpedia.com/news/GNU-Screen-Tutorial-44274.shtml - check that link out, and go to the "Share A Screen" section. [15:08] ActionParsnip, Should it be taking a minute [15:08] Middleman filtering proxy server [15:08] Chris3, i use to boot like that years ago [15:08] ActionParsnip, Nvm its done [15:08] Shawn_: the lshw will take a while [15:08] Good morning, all. I need some hardware help with my new Ubuntu insallation attempt. Yesterday I got my USB flash drive to boot to Ubuntu and I selected "Install Ubuntu to HD." The installation began and recognized my 1TB SATA HD. The installer failed with an error (unfortunately I didn't record the message) and every attempt since has failed to recognize the HD. Would somebody please help me diagnose this? [15:08] Chris3: you can resize the ntfs in the live cd [15:08] tiuman, idk about that. i use privoxy and polipo [15:08] not sure if they can do same thing or not [15:08] HagopH: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded [15:08] well, privoxy anyway [15:09] ActionParsnip, Lol just realised, I cant pastie it with no internet [15:09] Shawn_: is the system a laptop? [15:09] Yes [15:09] ActionParsnip, A netbook [15:09] Shawn_: then take a walk and use a wired connection [15:10] ActionParsnip, Its a netbook that doesnt have an ethernet port [15:10] Shawn_: I bet you it does, what model is it? [15:10] ActionParsnip, Dell Inspiron Duo... it does not have an ethernet port [15:10] Shawn_: can you give the full model? [15:10] ActionParsnip, Its the convertible netbook / tablet [15:10] Gentoo64 and ActionParsnip: Can I do the install from a bootable thumbdrive which I already created? [15:11] Chris3, yes [15:11] ActionParsnip, Its just called a Dell Inspiron Duo, there is only one model [15:11] Chris3: yes, but did you test the ISO you transferred? [15:11] ActionParsnip: I don't remember specifically MD5 testing that specific ISO, but I remember the installer testing one of my ISOs. [15:11] Shawn_: with a weird flippy screen? [15:11] Hi [15:11] ActionParsnip: I am not sure how to test it. I have booted from it. Is that what you mean? [15:11] ActionParsnip, Yes [15:12] HagopH: you need to md5 test the ISO before you use it [15:12] with the ubuntu beta installed, would it be easy to do a downgrade to the current version? with out burning another dvd? [15:12] Chris3, you can use winmd5sum for windows or md5sum (linux) against the iso [15:12] Chris3, or just try it and see if it works, the livecd should have a "test disk for errors" or similar when you boot it [15:13] ActionParsnip: How do I do that in Wodiows? [15:13] !md5 | HagopH [15:13] HagopH: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [15:13] It nosy around?

I could do that, but that will take me a full day I think to find first which package is the problem in the first case, then hand compile and isntall it intill I found it.

More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [16:25] SmokeyD: try appnr.com [16:25] Lasers: thanks! === om26er_ is now known as om26er [16:26] Lasers: hmm, well that adds it to the Bookmarks sub-menu which is fine I guess, but I curious what defines goes in the main 'Places' menu. [16:27] soreau, http://pastebin.com/R2eZNhYb [16:27] martian: There are a limitation coded by developers. How many folders do you have under Places? [16:28] Lasers: only my home, Desktop, then 'Computer' and my Windows drive. [16:28] AceKing: Is this german or do you just suck at typing? [16:29] AceKing: Does ifconfig show eth0? [16:29] soreau: definetly not german :) [16:29] hi, i just got an email from my ISP that i apparently have a malicious bot on my system... i'm curious what it could be, or if they're just yanking my chain.... i did notice I've received a few spam rejection emails sending an email to 4 emails that I remember all emailing in the same one or two days through my ISP's webmail client, so it gives me a bit of suspicion [16:29] soreau, I typed what was there. No eth0 [16:29] SmokeyD: Apparently, libssl is provided by openssl. You'd have to locate the upstream repo or checkout the source to browse it [16:29] Does anyone know how to use this Launchpad thing to report bugs? I don't want ubuntu-bug crap or long 10-page articles about reporting bugs [16:29] martian: Well, what do you mean? Produce a screenshot? If you're on 11.04, I can't help you because I haven't been on that. [16:30] where can I change the resolution of screen? ¬¬ [16:30] is there any legitimacy on this? I just have a clean install, though i do run 'transmission' from time to time [16:30] AceKing: Well that's a pretty big problem and I'm not sure where to start diagnosing it. First thing, make sure the drivers are loaded for the network hardware [16:30] lost 20 minutes looking trhough menus [16:30] soreau, I already did that. I even deactivated and reactivated the drivers [16:31] soreau, and restarted the network connection [16:31] VictorCL: try Alt-F2 gnome-control-center [16:31] AceKing: How exactly did you 'deactivated and reactivated the drivers'> [16:31] ? [16:32] soreau, I went into System/ Hardware Drivers [16:32] any other hints on how to get my bcm 4311 working... [16:32] AceKing: You shouldn't have anything there for your ethernet card.. [16:33] Lasers: http://martian.mit.edu/screen.png I'm wondering if there is some way to specify items to be siblings of 'Mars' and 'Desktop' [16:33] most all use chips that have open drivers [16:33] tomasm-: Are you running a mail server on your system? [16:33] soreau, No, it's for the wireless [16:33] and that driver utility is exclusively for proprietary drivers [16:33] soreau, OK [16:33] martian: How many folders under "Bookmarks" [16:33] h00k, perhaps coincidentally.... but it's behind a firewall i believe [16:33] sorsis, The update must have really screwed things up [16:34] Lasers: eleven, and yes it is 11.04, but on 'classic' [16:34] AceKing: I'm not talking about wireless right now. If you have no eth0 interface, something is really wrong. You need to find out if the drivers are loaded for the network card [16:34] soreau, I may just need to do a reinstall [16:34] tomasm-: perhaps check with #ubuntu-server if you have one running on your system, someone may be using it as a relay or something. [16:34] AceKing: Check the output of 'dmesg' for errors [16:34] soreau, That is what I am saying [16:34] is there some sort of glib package that i can install from terminal? [16:34] h00k, i can check the logs i guess.... thanks [16:34] martian: Here you go. 11 folders. If you have 4-5ish, it all would be in the menu, but too many, so Bookmark sub. [16:35] martian: You can fix it by downloading the source code. Change the code from 4 or 5 to... 20? I did it once long time ago. :3 [16:35] soreau, but don't the ubuntu maintainers also patch packages? So I guess there has to be some ubuntu specific repository somewhere doesn't there? I mean, the version numbers 0.9.8k-7ubuntu8.6 and 0.9.8o-1ubuntu are also ubuntu specific [16:36] Lasers: Ahh, I see. So if you have a small number of bookmarks, it consolidates them into the main menu. Thanks! I was really just curious what drove the logic behind it. [16:36] what is rm -rf? [16:36] soreau, Not that I can see. I think I'm just going to do a reinstall on the laptop. It will probably be the easiest fix. I appreciate your help! [16:36] nn: it removes things nn [16:36] nn a bad joke, stop it [16:36] SmokeyD: If you look on packages.ubuntu.com, you can see for each package, they provide the original source tarball, a diff and then their final tarball for the target ubuntu version [16:36] nn, man rm [16:37] martian: No problem. It annoys me sometimes because I only added one extra folder and that's it. [16:37] martian: They should at least implement gconf option for the user to change instead of hardcoding in the source. [16:38] Could anyone recommend an FTP-client for ubuntu which can handle FTP with TLS/SSL for connections? [16:38] tomeo: lftp, filezilla [16:38] tomeo: that's pretty much a dead technology now [16:38] tomeo: if people are using ssl - they are using scp over ssh [16:38] ikonia: well Ill tell the host about that! [16:39] ikonia: so sftp would be the way to go now? [16:39] tomeo: it's certainly more modern === sysadamin is now known as syadamin|away [16:41] ubottu: tell syadamin|away about away [16:41] syadamin|away, please see my private message === macr1 is now known as macer1 === syadamin|away is now known as sysadamin === zoff_ is now known as zerooffset [16:46] привет всем [16:46] !ru | alexandr [16:46] alexandr: Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. [16:49] does sudo get executed on exit from sudo -i? [16:50] RenaKunisaki: what? [16:50] gah [16:51] Of course there's multiple nicks starting with the same four letters all throughout this channel [16:52] soreau: what for me? [16:52] soreau: quite unlikely to find another Renato, even here though [16:52] RenatoSilva: sure, type ren then hit TAB [16:52] No, I just like to address random people in the channel and ask them 'what?' [16:52] ActionParsnip: sorry? what are you talking about? I have no idea [16:53] just to make sure to confuse everyone [16:53] soreau: ok [16:53] RenatoSilva: Try it: Acti [16:53] or sor [16:53] oh well [16:53] you can hit tab several times to cycle through the matches [16:53] gone [16:54] what pays for the massive apt-get traffic? [16:55] ActionParsnip, You still able to finish helping me or no? === Mkaysi_ is now known as Mkaysi|ZNC [16:59] Shawn__: ActionParsnip seems to be gone, better repeat your question [16:59] hey guys, I'm having a bit of confusion. i have a server that has two nic card. One port goes to the DMZ (Static) and the other one to the LAN(DHCP) but only the LAN port becomes active after a networking restart [17:00] Well my wifi on my Dell Inspiron duo with Ubuntu 11.04 suddenly stopped working, its showing that the device is hard blocked and soft blocked, it was working when I first installed and updated Ubuntu but after a couple reboots it just completely stopped === cruxeter1us is now known as cruxeternus [17:00] The really really strange thing is that my wifi used to work on the live CD but now my wifi wont even work on that... [17:01] Shawn__: Does it have anything to do with the wifi switch? [17:01] Shawn__: have you tried nm-applet? [17:02] Shawn__: You may have to unblock it with rfkill [17:02] soreau, There is no switch, only an Fn key for it, but that doesnt do anything Ive tried [17:02] soreau, Ive tried rfkill unblock all [17:02] MonkeyDust, Not sure what you mean [17:02] Shawn__: type alt-f2 nm-applet [17:02] Shawn__: Does iwconfig show a wireless interface? [17:02] One second Im turnig it on [17:03] can i install a .rpm file with svn or something similar? [17:03] nn: no [17:03] MonkeyDust: nm-applet should already be running by default [17:03] nn: try alien to convert .rpm to .deb [17:03] nn: Do you know what rpm stands for? [17:04] no [17:04] nn: It is a package for non-debian systems, specifically, redhat-based ones [17:04] Shawn__: try unloading then reloading the module, may help [17:04] nn: good call, alien would not be a wise move [17:04] nn: is there no deb for the package? [17:04] ActionParsnip, How? [17:05] not for the version i need i dont think [17:05] ikonia: The good call would be to find the corresponding deb package ;) [17:05] totally [17:05] soreau, iwconfig shows wlan0 yeah [17:05] Shawn__: the lshw output shows the driver module. run: sudo modprobe -r name then run: sudo modprobe name [17:05] Shawn__: Does 'sudo iwlist wlan0 scan|grep -i ssid' show AP's? [17:06] soreau, It says network is down [17:06] Shawn__: Try bringing it up first with 'sudo ifconfig wlan0 up' [17:07] hi all [17:08] soreau, "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill [17:08] Shawn__: Try rfkill unblock commands.. [17:09] is there a good place to ask about preseeding? [17:09] Shawn__: Does 'lsmod|grep hp-wmi' show anything by chance? [17:09] ActionParsnip, When I turned off the module with -r it shows "network connections now offline" but when I restarted it network still doesnt work [17:09] i tried to run ubuntu live cd first on a acer laptop and when it booted up i could barely see the desctop on the screen [17:10] why? [17:10] i sould adjust from a button or something the screen of the laptop? [17:10] Shawn__: Reloading the module will likely do nothing to help since it's reloaded when you reboot [17:10] soreau, No output from that command [17:10] Shawn__: Does 'lsmod|grep hp-wmi' show anything by chance? [17:10] hm [17:10] My net connecton goes slow after sometimes and when i reboots the system it gives speed then after sometimes it slows downs,it is always happening.What might ve the cause for it? [17:11] im looking for a libgvc >= 2.8 [17:11] and i cannot find it [17:12] i tryed ubuntu on a acer laptop and i can varely see the desktop [17:12] anybody got some ideas how to fix or why is like that? [17:12] Shawn__: So you tried rfkill unblock wifi, messing with the Fn button to enable it and scanning with lwlist? [17:12] soreau, Yes. When I press the Fn button for wifi one of the blocked things in rfkill list changes but it still doesnt fix the wifif [17:13] Shawn__: On a whim, I'm going to ask that you try 'sudo modprobe hp-wmi' first, then go through the same procedure again [17:14] soreau, No such device it says [17:14] soreau, And what procedure [17:15] Shawn__: The whole procedure we've been running.. check iwconfig for wifi iface, run iwlist to scan for AP's, brining up the iface, rfkill etc etc [17:15] thanks for not giving me a answer to my problem [17:15] !patience |ilea [17:15] soreau, Well hp-wmi says it doesnt exist [17:15] ilea: 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/ [17:15] <^NiNjA> anyone know if the proprietary ATI driver bug with Gnome 3 is worked out yet in ubuntu 11.10? [17:15] Oneiric support in #ubuntu+1 , not here ^NiNjA [17:15] Shawn__: If loading hp-wmi gave an error message, make sure it's not loaded with 'lsmod|grep hp-wmi' and if it is, unload it with 'sudo rmmod hp-wmi' [17:16] <^NiNjA> got ya thx [17:16] Shawn__: That module is really only for HP laptops AFAIU, but it fixes the same problem [17:16] not sure if there's one for dell laptops that does the same thing [17:16] soreau, Im on a dell laptop [17:16] why when i boot ubuntu on a acer laptop after it loads i can barely see the desktop on the screen [17:16] ? [17:16] soreau, and when I check if hp-wmi is loaded there is no output [17:16] Shawn__: And you're running 'sudo rfkill unblock wifi'? [17:17] soreau, Yes [17:17] Shawn__: Then I'm pretty much out of ideas. [17:17] Would I be able to use an ubuntu 10.10 live cd to burn an ISO? (As in, are there programs to do that within the live CD? Because I've no internet on the machine) [17:17] soreau, Can I tell you something interesting [17:18] ZeidDiez, if you have a 2nd cd drive [17:18] Shawn__: As long as it's related to ubuntu ;) [17:18] Gentoo64, I'm booting the livecd from USB [17:18] ZeidDiez, yes you can then [17:18] Thank you! [17:18] like i can find something on a forum this big or on ask ubuntu ubotu [17:19] soreau, No its about my problem still. In rfkill list, it shows 1: dell-wifi: Wireless LAN soft blocked: Yes, Hard blocked: yes Then it also shows phy0: Wireless LAN Soft Blocked: No Hard blocked: yes The Phy0 on eis the one that gets unblocked by pressing the Fn key [17:20] Shawn__: What does iwconfig show for wifi iface's though? [17:20] ilea: I'm a noob and can't help you but you can also try channel #ubuntu-beginners (although you might need more patience there) [17:21] REGISTER [17:21] I tried ubuntu 11.04 and it's giving me headaches. Not only do I not have sound it make his short burst sound randomly. [17:21] hey guys, I'm having a bit of confusion. i have a server that has two nic card. One port goes to the DMZ (Static) and the other one to the LAN(DHCP) but only the LAN port becomes active after a networking restart [17:21] 10.04 works fine.

[17:22] so are there any additional virtualization solutions for ubuntu other than xen/kvm/vmware? [17:22] soreau, Ill check [17:23] jaimef: virtualbox [17:23] Shawn__: And make sure you're playing with the right wifi switch.. [17:23] is it possible to run ubuntu without using plymouth? [17:24] why not it's a program, isn't it? [17:24] yeah, but from what I've read, it cannot be disabled [17:24] soreau, Theres only one wifi thing on my whole laptop. In the bios I fiound something interesting "Wireless Switch/Hotkey Mode" It can be changed from None, WLAN, BT, WLAN and BT, WWAN, WWAN and WLAN, WWAN and BT or All [17:24] Cong: can you give the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh [17:24] Shawn__: Try messing with those options [17:25] HMM, I need to update my dell bios... .exe only. What to do, what to do.. [17:25] LrIm: ask dell [17:25] LrIm: some BIOSes in some Dells can be updated in Ubuntu [17:25] LrIm: e.g. freedos or something else but that is related to dell [17:25] hi [17:26] LrIm: http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2007/09/howto-easily-upgrade-dell-bios-in.html [17:26] soreau, You arent going to believe it [17:26] LrIm: http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Repository/firmware [17:27] soreau, I set it so that the wireless button does "nothing" and now myh wifi works [17:27] hi guys [17:27] Shawn__: nice [17:28] Shawn__: :D [17:28] soreau, Retarded X_X [17:28] ActionParsnip, no I can't. [17:28] Shawn__: Computers suck, what can I say ;-) [17:28] Cong: care to share why, or do you want me to guess.... [17:29] ActionParsnip, That is great and all, but the link to the BIOSes is broken :/ [17:29] LrIm: I was just on the pages... === Spacewalker_ is now known as Spacewalker [17:29] ActionParsnip, http://linux.dell.com/repo/software/bios-hdrs/ ? [17:30] ActionParsnip, it's because I didn't install it, only tried it from USB and now it's not in the USB anymore. [17:30] Hasn't this happend before? [17:31] hi [17:31] hi, where could I find out if my motherboard is compatible with ubuntu?

[17:31] LrIm: if you use the links I gave, you'll be ok [17:31] thanks a lot! [17:31] ActionParsnip, I kinda knew that. [17:32] Cong: so why is the fact that you are in a live USB environment relevant?

My numpad doesn't work :( === chris_ is now known as Guest91397 [17:33] Cong: either way is good :) [17:33] Gotta download my tools.

[17:34] JokesOnYou77: its a terminal command === l is now known as Guest84313 [17:35] ActionParsnip: I suspect they do, as the Numpad Enter key and the "+" both do something, just not what they're supposed to [17:35] JokesOnYou77: what about numbers? [17:35] ActionParsnip: just "$ xev" [17:36] JokesOnYou77: how do you mean? === chocolates_ is now known as chocolates [17:37] JokesOnYou77, does your numpad act like a mouse now ? [17:37] hold 6 or 8 [17:38] ActionParsnip: that last one was meant to include a question mark, sorry. I'd never heard of xev before. I just read the first few lines of the man page, I get it now more or less. xev returns some weird stuff when I use the num pad (as compared to when I use other keys) [17:38] JokesOnYou77: you see what it does though, right [17:38] OerHeks: It does! it moves the mouse! How did you know/wtf is that? [17:38] OerHeks: all yours dude [17:38] :) good catch [17:39] ActionParsnip: yeah, it's a really cool diagnostic cool for periferals, very useful [17:39] how would i do this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/699230/ === Spacewalker_ is now known as Spacewalker [17:39] JokesOnYou77, see keyboard in preferences, it has a tab with mouse emulation , switch that off [17:40] !cookie | OerHeks [17:40] OerHeks: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [17:41] how do i find out password [17:42] Apple5, for a user? [17:42] OerHeks: Ok, in Keyboard prefs I went to the "Mouse Keys" tab and unchecked the "Pointer can be controlled using the keypad" but it hasn't changed anything, the numpad still operates the mouse. Do I need to relog? [17:42] for admin [17:42] Apple5, you cant, otherwise a password would be pointless :s [17:42] Apple5: use sudo and use your login password [17:42] so i type sudo in front of my password? [17:42] JokesOnYou77, closing the menu will do, i guess [17:42] Apple5, no in front of a command [17:42] hey! why I can't find firefox 7 package ? I have added firefox-stable to repos, but still don't see. 11.04 [17:43] JokesOnYou77, ActionParsnip see this example > http://omkarverma-ubuntu-tips.blogspot.com/2011/09/how-to-move-your-mouse-pointer-with.html [17:43] !sudo | Apple5 [17:43] Apple5: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [17:43] Apple5: no, when you need admin access, prepend the command with sudo [17:43] Apple5: thats why you see: sudo apt-get update etc [17:44] !info firefox natty [17:44] firefox (source: firefox): Safe and easy web browser from Mozilla. In component main, is optional.

[17:44] genii, so why? 2 days passed since release [17:45] OerHeks: No such luck. However, I just found that when I type in the "test settings" field in Layouts, the "+" key on the numpad produces some kind of machine code, you know the little squares with four letters and numbers in them? [17:45] Apple5: then the command you want after, like I said. Its for when you need admin access [17:45] what does 'checking for header' mean? [17:45] i need the admin access to use updates [17:45] like sudo apt-get install [17:45] install updates* [17:45] like sudo apt-get install update [17:45] whats the diff between ubuntu 11.04 and 10.04 [17:45] sean__, newer software [17:45] sean__: one year development [17:46] Apocalypse_dn: Ubuntu doesn't work like that, packages aren't updated on a stable release, with some exception (firefox might be one, not sure, but don't expect to see it in a matter of two days) [17:46] 10.04 = more stabel thought right [17:46] sean__, it's like asking what's the difference between windows 7 and windows vista [17:46] stable [17:46] sean__, 10.04 is an LTS release, meaning that it will be supported longer [17:46] which do u perfer 10.04 or 11.04 [17:46] sean__, basically 11.04 has a new ui called unity [17:47] i actually prefer no ui ;p [17:47] sudo apt-get install update -sudo password for Andrew: [17:47] OerHeks: I'm going to try and relog and see if that helps [17:47] sean__: later libs, later kernel, later drivers [17:47] JokesOnYou77, you might have a other type of keyboard ? [17:47] sean__, also 11.04 from what i hear on here is nowhere near as stable [17:47] LjL, ok, but what can be wrong with its repository? firefox-stable I mean. Every page in google by request "firefox 7 ubuntu" says, that repo already have he latest version [17:47] Adnrew is not in the sudoers file. THis incident wil be reported [17:47] so should i dl 10.04? [17:47] :O [17:47] what command do i use to install a file from an url? [17:47] Apple5: ask you admin/daddy to add you to the sudoers [17:47] he forgot password [17:47] Apocalypse_dn: have you done "sudo apt-get update" after adding the repo? [17:48] your* [17:48] sean__, if you want [17:48] llutz admin forgot password [17:48] LjL, how can I check the repo itself. Maybe there is some conflicts in my sorces.list or anything. [17:48] LjL, sure [17:48] !best| sean__ [17:48] sean__: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [17:48] Apple5: but he should know how to reset it [17:48] how do i reset [17:49] Apocalypse_dn: is it this? https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable it says "aimed at Lucid and Maverick"... [17:49] Apple5: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword [17:49] Apocalypse_dn: try an "apt-cache policy firefox" [17:50] LjL, ah, i see. But it always looked like I have latest firefox because of its repo [17:52] Apocalypse_dn: depends how you view latest ;) [17:52] LjL, only 6.02 and 4.0 is present. Is there any chance this package wasn't mirrored to Ukrainian server for now? [17:53] Apocalypse_dn: i think that repo is just not available for Natty yet... the Packages list is empty [17:53] Apocalypse_dn: check it, http://ppa.launchpad.net/mozillateam/firefox-stable/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/binary-amd64/ [17:54] LjL, I think you're right [17:54] my 10.04 LTS server says this on ssh login "13 updates are security updates." [17:54] I am trying to install grub but keep getting: grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub, what does this error mean and how can I fix it? [17:55] SixThreeOh, what command are you using? grub-install? [17:55] ActionParsnip: Relogging after changing the keyboard prefs worked! Not sure where Oer went tho :( [17:55] Gentoo64: yes but it is failing on grub-probe [17:55] 10.04 LTS says this on ssh login "20 packages can be updated." and "13 updates are security updates." too. How do I update just the security updates? [17:55] how do i install http://lv2plug.in/ns/extensions/ui/ ? [17:55] LjL, so it make me sad, because I really want to test "brand new speed and fine memory management" it implements :) [17:55] JokesOnYou77: its working, thats what we need [17:55] SixThreeOh, like grub-install /dev/sda? [17:56] LjL, anyway thanks for describing the situation [17:56] JokesOnYou77: and you larned a few things [17:56] Gentoo64: yes, with grub2 [17:56] Yeah, but I hope you don't think that's it, I've got a list lol [17:56] gonna learn a lot today :P [17:58] My other question is, about Compiz. I have to run compiz --replace every time I log in now, how can I get it to be a default? [17:58] how do I update security update on a LTS server? [17:58] codemagician, what do you mean? [17:59] SixThreeOh, im not sure... is there a /boot on the drive? [17:59] Gentoo64, when I login it says "13 updates are security updates" [17:59] Gentoo64, "20 pacakges can be updated" [17:59] codemagician, just run the update manager and in stall them [17:59] and theyll be security update for whatever pakcages they are [17:59] Gentoo64, but can I just take the security updates only [17:59] Gentoo64, or should [17:59] QUESTION: I just installed ubuntu 11.04 on my friends lap. ,but whenever I plug any usb device it hangs? Is there any solution? [17:59] hi, I am very curious. I have Lucid Lynx. I can open computer, trash, etc with Nautilus. But, when I want to open Trash inside my panel, it is error. Error while spawning nautilus: [17:59] No application is registered as handling this file [17:59] codemagician, you can manaully select them [17:59] is there any solution? [17:59] Gentoo64, or should I take the lot? [18:00] codemagician, id take the lot [18:00] Gentoo64, if its a production server should I be careful? [18:00] codemagician, if youre paranoid then check them 1 by 1 [18:00] codemagician, and see if anything sounds risky to update if you cant afford [18:00] openvpn: "No VPN Secrets!" any ideas? thks [18:00] Gentoo64, what do I type for checking and installing please? [18:01] HOY! I have a problem; I seem to be unable to connect to a 20/40 MHz band wireless connection using nm-applet [18:01] codemagician, ah im thinking of the gui... it has checkboxes. not sure about cli, someone else must know [18:01] need assistance in setting up vpntunnel on ubuntu 11.04 [18:02] Is there any way to update metadata of a song with "totem"? [18:02] anyone out there? [18:03] still here, though... [18:03] oddly enough [18:03] QUESTION : hi, I am very curious. I have Lucid Lynx. I can open computer, trash, etc with Nautilus. But, when I want to open Trash inside my panel, it is error. Error while spawning nautilus: [18:03] No application is registered as handling this file [18:03] know anything about vpns? [18:04] Glitchy, I assume you're using GNOME's nm-applet [18:04] are we talking about an openvpn tunnel or just a client connection with the gui [18:04] It is very strange problem, and so far I have not yet found the solution in Google [18:04] hello, how to check if my Intel GMA X4500 is capable of using 3D? [18:04] no [18:04] openvpn [18:04] hai guys !! since when I upgraded my ubuntu 11.4 to 11.10 I cant play audio file when I roll over the mouse on the file ! I used to play like this in older versions of ubuntu can any one tell me how to FIX this ? [18:04] so you are doing something complex [18:04] I can't connect, it's all installed properly [18:04] I don't even, then... [18:04] at least i believe it is [18:05] CyON, in nautilus settings make sure sound preview is checked [18:05] jcpham i dont think so [18:05] if both ends are configured correctly, check your firewall [18:05] you need udp 500 for gre [18:05] n/a i have no firewall...its ubuntu that isnt working with me [18:05] and your router firewall; set up forwarding if you haven't yet [18:05] i upgraded to 11 now can get this to connect [18:05] forwarding is on [18:06] it may be easier to show you what steps ive taken and what step im stuck on [18:06] OpenVPN is a win/mac application, right...? [18:06] brb gonna get the link [18:06] HOY! I have a problem; I seem to be unable to connect to a 20/40 MHz band wireless connection using nm-applet [18:06] it works for linux as well [18:07] Can anyone tell me how to make compiz the default? Every time I log in I have to run compiz --replace [18:07] https://www.vpntunnel.se/tmp/howto-Linux.pdf <-- step 6 is where im stuck [18:07] yeah i'd need to see the link [18:07] llutz: for production servers? [18:07] its a pdf fyi [18:08] Gentoo64: can u please tell me where is that settings Becoz I'm a newbie ! [18:08] CyON, click on edit preferences (or similar) then under preview menu there should be something like sound (local files) [18:08] jaimef: not really, maybe you should have mentioned that before.. [18:08] i'd say cat /etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf [18:08] Glitchy, try command-lining "Gedit /etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf" [18:09] but most likely, you shouldn't [18:09] or Kate /etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf [18:09] paste it [18:09] if you use KDE [18:09] what does the cat command do? [18:09] so you have some custom .conf files you are downloading from that web site [18:09] correct [18:09] on how to connect to and use their vpn service [18:09] Glitchy_: cat (1) - concatenate files and print on the standard output [18:09] Glitchy_, cat just views a file [18:10] so you unzip their file and execute openvpn with it [18:10] is what I see [18:10] Hi. having a nasty login issue. Cannot any more login a user but no problem login in root [18:10] ufo, did you edlete your account? === dingil is now known as explora [18:10] you move the conf files into the openvpn folder, then find a file called ca.crt and moved it into a created folder...then run the connection [18:11] Glitchy, you may want to follow the step 6 alternative using Ubuntu's NM [18:11] no, all users cannot login all of a sudden - only root [18:11] ufotech: "df -h" [18:11] ufotech, THe root account isnt even available to login to by default, did you enable the root account? [18:11] ufotech: pastebin the output please [18:11] i have done so, it wont allow importing, hang on, ill give you exact error message [18:11] Gentoo64 : I can't found anything related to sound under the preview menu there's only text files other previewable files and folder!! [18:12] he probably needs to sudo [18:12] CyON, ah... there should be a sound preview there, maybe its gone now idk. i havent used naitulus [18:12] enabled root long ago [18:12] pastebin??

[18:12] ufotech: ^^ [18:12] yar; Glitchy, try rerunning the entire install with "sudo" before everything [18:13] The file 'openvpn-Swe.conf' could not be read or does not contain recognized VPN connection information [18:13] Error: unknown error. [18:13] wait 1 sec [18:13] this means something is wrong with your config file [18:13] or you have improperly specified it's path [18:13] followed instructions to the t...not sure how unless the file was corrupt during install [18:13] !who | jcpham [18:13] jcpham: 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 :) [18:13] Glitchy [18:13] yeah [18:14] Glitchy, when you "su"'d, did you get authentication failure OR close the terminal at any point? [18:14] Ohh !! is that function disabled by new ver of ubuntu or any alternative ways to fix that ? [18:14] nope [18:14] hrm [18:14] http://paste.ubuntu.com/699242/ [18:14] well [18:14] i know...irritating at best [18:14] CyON, if it's not there then maybe it got took out of a newer version of nautilus [18:14] try rerunning the install with aptitude. You may be missing a dependency... [18:14] ufotech: "df -h" pastebin the output of this command please [18:15] k, ill be back and let you know what happens [18:15] * Glitchy_ will be back in 10 [18:15] Glitchy, if you don't have aptitude yet, sudo apt-get aptitude [18:16] Now back to my problem... Ubuntu can't detect a 20/40 MHz band wifi connection... [18:16] hoopyfreud, glitchy, llutz, having similar openvpn problems "no vpn secrets" error in log [18:16] Gentoo64 : so any alternative ways to play the audio files when roll over the mouse? [18:16] CyON, no :( [18:17] Can anyone tell me how to make compiz the default? Every time I log in I have to run compiz --replace [18:17] well not :( for me, i would find it annoying :) [18:17] Jokes, you might set a preboot script for it [18:17] hoopyfreud is that the package manager or the terminal? [18:18] it found two variations [18:18] Glitchy, terminal. sudo apt-get install aptitiude, then find the packade name and sudo aptitude install [18:18] hi all!how can i set different wallpapers for my destops? i have gnome [18:19] are the Amazon EC2 instances optimised... what will happen if I sudo apt-get upgrade and pull a new kernel... will it work the same? === pants is now known as Guest60739 [18:19] Glitchy: You can install the package using apt-get... You don't need to get aptitude, they both use the same sources. [18:19] http://paste.ubuntu.com/699246/ [18:19] codemagician, what do you mean optimized? [18:19] installing anyway...whats aptitude do exactly? [18:19] hi, I have a question about network configuration. I have a laptop connected to internet via an usb-modem , and I have a desktop that has a wireless modem. The internet works on laptop (i start it using wvdial), and I want to make internet work on dektop. [18:19] Gentoo64, I mean are they specially made to work with EC2 instances [18:19] ufotech: and "ls -ld /tmp" pls [18:19] Polah, I thought he might be missing a dependency. Apttiude is usually better at catchingthose than apt-get [18:20] hoopyfreud: only if a package is broken [18:20] He thinks his might be [18:20] Gentoo64, perhaps if I pull newer kernels it'll effect my EC2 instance stability. i.e. perhaps the AMI image is made to run on VM hardware [18:20] noobie, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=workspaces+wallpaper [18:20] should i still run this install with as root? [18:20] yes [18:20] When I connect on the wireless router , the internet dies. probably the network script changes the routing tables [18:20] codemagician, ah im not sure tbh :( [18:21] hoopyfreud was that a response to my question? [18:21] codemagician: Perhaps ask Amazon support. [18:21] Glitchy, not the one directed to noobie, but "yes" was [18:21] can somebody help me to configure the network, suchj that internet work on desktop too, please ? [18:21] right on [18:21] Polah, they don't really support each linux release [18:21] http://paste.ubuntu.com/699250/ [18:21] hoopyfreud: please don't use lmgtfy here [18:21] Polah, I guess its an issue for the cloud team at ubuntu [18:22] codemagician: So it's their kernel, not yours? [18:22] oCean, sorry [18:22] is there any linux antivirus program [18:22] Apple5, no [18:22] Apple5, clamav is one [18:23] Apple5, but they dont scan for linux viruses [18:23] only windows [18:23] Polah, Ubuntu (canonical) I think have made some ready made images [18:23] ufotech: both seem fine... [18:23] codemagician: I do recall seeing *-virtual kernels last time I installed from the minimal ISO. [18:23] Apple5, most security vulnerabilities are fixed in updates. [18:23] login -p works as well [18:23] k [18:24] Gentoo64: Doesn't clamav scan for both? Obviously primarily for Windows because there's a lot more viruses there? [18:24] how do i install something with archieve manager! [18:24] Polah, actually doing a uname shows "Linux zeus 2.6.32-317-ec2" [18:24] Apple5: What are you trying to install? It may be in the repositories? [18:24] Polah, no only windows [18:24] hoopyfreud where do i find the ca.crt file? [18:24] codemagician: #ubuntu-cloud or #ubuntu-server may be more informative than here. [18:24] tor [18:24] Gentoo64: Ah, I see. Thought it did both, good to know. [18:24] Polah, the hyphen -ec2 [18:24] Pici, aha cool [18:24] Apple5, this channel is not a tutorial. Please refer to documentation and check back in if you have any problems following it, [18:24] Polah, there arent swarms of viruses for linux. peple can obviously make malicious files though [18:25] is that already part of ubuntu? [18:25] ohk i look up manager [18:25] Apple5: Do sudo apt-get install tor [18:25] Glitchy, I have no idea. try "locate ca.crt" [18:25] Apple5: Applications that come as anything other than a .deb or from the repositories will typically involve building from source. [18:26] Hi there, my new Ubuntu installation doesn't have the network driver (at least, that's what I think; it reports no eth0 device). Could I be missing the network driver? If so, can someone help me install it? Thanks [18:26] hoopyfreud: Actually, it's a support channel. If someone asks how to build something from source, we'll help them do that or achieve the same thing in a better way (i.e. getting from repos) [18:26] Apple5, tor is in the repos [18:26] i think [18:26] Apple5: https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en#ubuntu [18:27] Gentoo64: It is, I see it. [18:27] Gentoo64: Polah from link above "Do not use the packages in Ubuntu's universe." [18:27] glitchy, did you find it? [18:27] llutz: Ah I see. [18:27] llutz, my bad idk [18:28] is there a way for a user to change their password if one was never set? [18:28] i found 2 on ubuntu already, then the one they have on the site, which i believe is for a windows machine [18:28] asteve, passwd user [18:28] Apple5: Follow llutz instructions then [18:28] hi together [18:28] i believe the crt file is what is stopping me from connecting [18:28] Gentoo64: I want user_a to change their own password if one was never set [18:28] llutz, although im not sure why, i thought ubuntus updates were mainly security/stability [18:29] !tor | Apple5 [18:29] Apple5: Tor is a program to route connections through several servers for anonymity. It is in Ubuntu's repositories, but the Tor Project recommends using their Tor packages due to past issues with Ubuntu's. For setup info, see option (2) of https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en | To use Tor on freenode, see !tor-sasl [18:29] Gentoo64: most are, except tor and some other [18:29] asteve, maybe passwd user will still work [18:29] it does not [18:29] http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=747df451a7ddf6f73d2c2196a6df7d87b1b67ea0 [18:29] asteve, do it from another user [18:29] nobody is able to help me , please ? [18:29] asteve, and use sudo [18:29] Gentoo64: ….the user does not have access to sudo [18:29] (about the network) [18:29] How can I change the key shortcut for searching? I want to change it from being "mod" to "mod+space" but when i change it in the Key shortcuts menu nothing happens:( [18:29] Some other ideas how to fix my login? [18:29] I'm thinking about trying Chrome OS on my dell mini 9, any thoughts or suggestions? [18:30] Everything is working. I has that weird burst sound problem but that's gone now. [18:30] asteve, no idea what you've done. you cant do a lot without sudo / root access [18:30] Glitchy, the crt file on the site SHOULD work, but I'm not exactly sure... [18:30] Gentoo64: …. [18:30] I need help diagnosing Ubuntu not recognizing my HD. Would somebody please help me? [18:30] asteve, try from a livecd [18:30] thats the one im using...well one of the files they game me is broke lol [18:30] asteve, and chroot [18:30] Does anyone know how to get the "ding" in chatzilla in Ubuntu when someone mentions your Nic? [18:30] asteve: If you're on the user just now, then just running passwd will let you set one. passwd $user will change $user's password, sudo would let you do that for user accounts other than your own. [18:30] that's not my problem, [18:30] creating a folder and creating a directory are the same thing correct? [18:31] yes [18:31] this is a production environment where I'm creating 20 users; it would be nice if they could all set their passwords as soon as they logged in [18:31] is there a way of changing the last accessed date of a file? I tried touch -a but that doesnt seem to change it [18:31] okay, so step five is done then...i dont get it [18:31] but I don't want to pre-emptively set their passwords to something [18:31] I need help diagnosing Ubuntu not recognizing my HD. Would somebody please help me? [18:31] anonissimus, It does if you have write access [18:32] <_klk_1> hi all, i'm trying to set up this USB to ethernet adapter in ubuntu: http://www.win-star.com/eshop/goods.php?id=29 . [18:32] Glitchy, link again, plox. Sorry, browser crash [18:32] https://www.vpntunnel.se/tmp/howto-Linux.pdf [18:32] <_klk_1> the device is recognized and established as "eth1" interface. i can't get it to have an IP or connect to the internet though. any tips? [18:33] Younder: then dolphin does not update [18:33] _klk_, what happened to eth0 [18:33] hi there. someone know how to use keyboard as mouse? tryed and no luck [18:33] Glitchy, check the /etc/openvpn folder for the conf files [18:33] anonissimus, rubbish use sudo [18:33] Anyone know how to get .mov files working in chrome for ubuntu? I've installed mplayer and w32codecs [18:33] :/ [18:33] mephist0: I just figured out how to turn that function off actually, hang on I've got a link [18:33] asteve: Might I recommend setting some arbitrary string as their password, telling them that and then telling them to use passwd then set a password after logging in. If they have no password set and can log in without one, then another user or anyone could log on as that user before they set a password if usernames are easy to guess. [18:33] anonissimus, rubbish use sudo touch [18:33] mephist0: http://omkarverma-ubuntu-tips.blogspot.com/2011/09/how-to-move-your-mouse-pointer-with.html [18:33] Polah: rsa keys are required to ssh in [18:33] trying that now [18:34] JokesOnYou77: thanks [18:34] asteve: Ah, then they shouldn't need a password if they're authenticating with keys [18:34] not to ssh in, but to sudo they will; [18:34] Does anyone know if Ubutu can detect 20/40 MHz networks? a 20MHz network works fine for me [18:34] <_klk_1> Younder: eth0 is the regular ethernet connection. [18:35] Polah, I recommend taking basis in a book title. That is easier to remember. [18:35] hey guys can I trust this site http://www.playdeb.net [18:35] Younder: even as sudo [18:35] Younder: What do you mean? [18:35] hi there! [18:35] Beco, looks alright to me [18:35] Beco, I do. It has been popular for a few years now. [18:36] JokesOnYou77: thank you very much. Anyway i am looking for some generic linux solution. :--) [18:36] Polah, say Upstairs downstairs. [18:36] asteve: Ah yes of course. Just set them arbitrary passwords and tell them, that way they can reset it using that password to whatever they want. [18:36] is there a way to show the folder path and being able to edit it manually in the gnome interface? [18:36] I need help diagnosing Ubuntu not recognizing my HD. Would somebody please help me? [18:36] <_klk_1> here is some dmesg output that shows the device being recognized: http://pastebin.com/ZKjJvyWc . and here is ifconfig output: http://pastebin.com/3icQzAtR [18:36] Polah: can't set an arbitrary password; i guess I'm SOL [18:37] davidcalle any good games you recommend? [18:37] Glitchy, in case you missed it, check the /etc/openVPN folder for the conf files [18:37] _klk_1, eth1 has no ip set, doesnt it let you do it in the net manager? [18:37] Beco, Urban Terror! [18:37] I need help diagnosing Ubuntu not recognizing my HD. Would somebody please help me? [18:37] asteve: Why not? When you create the account just make up twenty passwords something like london.oceanic1, obviously different and tell them that and how to reset it. [18:37] Polah: can't tell them [18:38] Beco, there are a few, but for online, even the polular games have only 1 or 2 servers with players in [18:38] mephist0: ahhh, guess my method is just for gnome. Unless that functionality is built into the Xserver I don't know that there's a single way to do that across distros [18:38] Polah, Upstairs, Downstairs was originally an idea by two actress friends, Jean Marsh and Eileen Atkins, becomes USDSJMEA [18:38] ie urbanterror, nexuiz etc [18:38] davidcalle: yea good choice thanks for the help [18:38] Younder: I have no idea what you're talking about. [18:38] hey all i just have installed a sound card, by popping it into my pci slot, it does not work, now what [18:38] Beco, yw [18:38] Beco: Urban terror is great fun! :D [18:39] A_J, check alsamixer is the first thing id do [18:39] <_klk_1> Gentoo64: i can try that. right now it's configured to use DHCP [18:39] When I type "sudo fdisk -l" Ubuntu isn't showing my HD. Any ideas? [18:39] Beco: The server browser is bad though, I advise downloading urtsb [18:39] Anyone know how to get .mov files working in chrome for ubuntu? I've installed mplayer and w32codecs [18:39] !alsamixert [18:39] !alsamixer [18:39] A_J update your BIOS [18:39] ? [18:39] hoopyfreud: nop have not done that [18:40] anyone know what would cause this [18:40] sudo aticonfig --list-adapters [18:40] X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. [18:40] asteve: Ah, I see. You could set up a message on login to display a preset password for that user and how to reset it to what they want. [18:40] When I type "sudo fdisk -l" Ubuntu isn't showing my HD. It's SATA. Any ideas? [18:40] hoopyfreud: any other method, i don't think it's a bios issue [18:41] Polah: ya, that's just very suboptimal; i'll have to come up with a better solution [18:41] HagopH<< i'd think your sata driver is not loaded, or installed [18:41] When I type "sudo fdisk -l" Ubuntu isn't showing my HD, just my USB flash drive. The HD is SATA. Any ideas? [18:41] !repeat | HagopH [18:41] HagopH: 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/ [18:42] Polah: have a look at my issue [18:42] Anyone know some good Banshee extensions? [18:42] Also, I can't connect to a 20/40 MHz router band,, though I can connect to it in widows and to a 20 MHz band from the same router in Linux [18:42] ActionParsnip: \o/ wb [18:42] Sorry all. I was trying to be more specific with more information. I'll slow down on the retries. [18:42] A_J: ty [18:43] HagopH<< you could first try dmesg and examine if you see something there [18:43] hey all i just have installed a sound card, by popping it into my pci slot, it does not work, now what. have a look ActionParsnip ?

[19:22] vacho, you could use rsync (even locally) rather then cp to get the hidden files [19:22] vacho: I think you need to specify source directory name when using -R/-r [19:23] vacho, If you cannot copy a file, it is probably for one of these reasons:The file is not readable by user user (according to file permissions) [19:23] The destination directory is not writable/readbale/executable by your user.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [20:10] Hi there - I have a pretty painful problem in which Ubuntu 10.04 LTS doesn't recognize my network / gfx card, but Ubuntu 11.04 doesn't install properly (can't restart the computer). Is this a known problem? Anyone seen it before? [20:11] Hedgehog456<< modprobe insmod lsmod rmmod [20:11] LindaLoveLace : follow restore grub [20:11] myrmidette, I tried what you suggested, but it says there is no package is installed, so none removed... [20:11] antihoax: thanks [20:11] LindaLoveLace: or use supergrubdisk [20:11] hmm i might as well count my losses and move on [20:11] xrdodrx, is there a way to change how fast you scroll through a long list by dragging the scroll bar on the right, i notice that if the list is very long it becomes super sensitive and scrolls very fast? [20:11] DasEi: i've tried using rescatux but it only seemed to pick up my backtrack5 [20:12] DasEi: my ubuntu was installed with wubi [20:12] I'm with you on this on D_Russ [20:12] LindaLoveLace: ah, I see [20:12] one* [20:12] benoliver999, you experience the same problem? [20:12] **** [20:12] Okay, an easier question: How do I go into recovery mode in Lucid? It doesn't display the GRUB boot menu. [20:13] DasEi: so how would i add /dev/sda3 to my boot [20:13] Yeah, I have some directories (like music) that are so big it's really tough to find anything at all by scrolling [20:13] its the whole partition, i would have thought i could recover a large propertion fairly easily [20:13] D_Russ: I end up going into terminal and using ls [20:13] grillermo<< use strace to debug "whereis strace" [20:13] leeping: press left shift once grub started [20:13] how to know the hdd status including all the mounted drives ebry thing [20:13] benoliver999, thats exactly what i am talking about. [20:14] is there a way [20:14] DasEi, I just did that. I didn't get the recovery mode though. [20:14] FloodBot2: [20:14] dans: you would have to restore the headers of that file more or less by hand, really not a nice job === morko_ is now known as morko [20:14] ping [20:14] DasEi, Unless recovery mode still attempts to load the nvidia drivers. I installed nvidia-xconfig and now I get a black screen where before I was running in low resolution. [20:14] antihoax, wrong nick i assume [20:14] .. and only if there is no new data , dans [20:15] D_Russ: I do have a mouse with a free-flying scroll wheel, and that helps. On the laptop it's a nightmare though. [20:15] i usually grab the right side scroll bar for precise sceolling but this does not work well at all for long lists or lots of files [20:15] techiewickie: pong [20:15] i bet [20:15] myrmidette, running it again says there were some programs automatically installeda nd autoremove removes them but stilll doesn't properly remove the configs ... [20:15] dans: Each file and folder is unlinked one at a time. [20:16] 11.04? [20:16] just use find -exec rm {} [20:16] leeping : or run sudo init 1, it'll bring you there , too, maybe your grub is configured to not display these kernel-lines ? [20:16] i was planning on cleaning up my home directory, but not this drastically [20:16] :p [20:16] DasEi, I can't run anything because nothing is visible on the screen [20:16] leeping: ctrl+alt+F1 ? [20:16] I can see the login prompt flash for about a tenth of a second and then it goes black for 5 seconds, and it repeats [20:16] dans: The only recovery option you have is to basically read every block and re-organise the data. If we are talking about 20mb then it might take you an hour or so, but if it's 20gb then your looking at a week and 200gb is forever. [20:16] DasEi, tried that too. No response [20:17] dans<< if you need files from it there are recovery tools until you write anything where the files were [20:17] I'll reset the xorg.conf using the live cd i guess [20:17] And hopefully a distribution upgrade from 10.04 LTS will take me to 11.04 without any serious issues [20:17] antihoax, im gunna look into it now [20:17] you'r [20:17] i could use some things [20:17] what's the latest version of jvm out there? [20:18] luckily i dont do anything that will cost any lives [20:18] leeping: do you get the boot-menu at all on left shift ? === vincent_ is now known as xauth [20:18] how to setup network connection on ubuntu === tom_ is now known as avrPhreaque [20:18] df -h [20:18] DasEi, I get nothing [20:18] I've tried holding down the key since hitting the reset button, or tapping it repeatedly [20:18] anyone? [20:18] get the same result every time [20:19] bon010: Depends. I edit /etc/network/interfaces and use the ifup/ifdown tools... but that's not the only way. [20:19] i'm not too surprised that 10.04 LTS can't support the newer hardware. But I was a bit surprised that installing 11.04 didn't work at all [20:19] nvm [20:19] I suppose I could burn a third CD and install 10.10 ... >_< [20:19] [215548] grillermo hi, could you please tell me what happens when you middle click the title bar of a windows? i'm debuggin something [20:20] leeping: you can chroot for reconfiguring grub, if resetting xorg doesn't work and make it boot to init 1 default [20:20] bon010: You can also run the commands directly, ifconfig/route there is a new more advanced command in the iproute2 package called ip it has more features then ifconfig/route. [20:20] I need to give my sisters Asus eee 900 a refresh. Is that Ubuntu Netbook Edition still around (and good)? [20:21] is anyone here aware of an "official-ish" backports for postgresql on natty? I found the Martin Pitt one on launchpad, but can't really tell if there's a better community supported PPA [20:21] tasslehoff: no, depreciated [20:21] antihoax: thnx 4 the advise, it works. And if I pass by Budapest, i won't forget to offer you a beer ! [20:21] DasEi, that's a good idea. Fortunately resetting xorg did work [20:21] tasslehoff: use standardinstaller [20:21] Now I still have the problem of installing nvidia drivers though. I can download them straight from Nvidia, but the problem is that the drivers will no longer work after a kernel update [20:21] gaspard<< np [20:21] DasEi: ah. standard installer from usb-drive then? [20:21] tasslehoff: yes [20:22] tasslehoff: and you might want something more lightwight for a netbook (window-manager) [20:22] DasEi: ah, I see ubuntu.com has instructions for creating a usb stick :) [20:23] DasEi: xfce, or even lighter? [20:23] antihoax, oh is not that kind of debug but thanks for the tip [20:23] tasslehoff: there is lubuntu which I like for mobiles [20:23] Silowyi, ppas are never supported [20:23] myrmidette when I used sudo find /etc/nginx -exec rm {} \n; it removes files but not folders... plus when I try to install... all those files are now missing and refuse to install... which is where i was to begin with. [20:23] I must admit, windows is a lot more use friendly. [20:23] glebihan: Yes but there are some PPAs that might as well be official releases. [20:23] how can i add a user to a group while gnome is running? [20:23] tasslehoff: same core but optimized for weaker boxes [20:23] and without having to restart gnome [20:24] er while X is running* [20:24] glebihan: PPAs maintained by the project authors and such [20:24] grillermo<< strace yourprogram [20:24] TrueColors, try rm -r perhaps? [20:24] DasEi: I'll give that a go. She was running what came with the eee, with a Firefox 2 from 2006, so it can't get worse [20:24] Silowyi, they're different from official releases, which are tested before being released in the repositories [20:24] tasslehoff: true, period ;) [20:25] Silowyi, when you add a ppa, you just have to trust the author [20:25] I have a 3GB text file I need to somehow break down into 100MB segments [20:25] How could I go about this [20:25] SniperXPX: dd? [20:25] tasslehoff: also if you don't like it, can later also change wm again [20:26] (no reinstall of os) [20:26] OK so I've got an SSD. I want a fresh install. Do I just plug it in, format it with the live USB, then install away? [20:26] SniperXPX: Would be a lot of manual work though. There are probably some friendlier programs. [20:26] glebihan: Yes I'm aware, that is my point, some authors are more trustworthy than others, by dint of having a long history with the community, and there are many PPAs that come highly recommended.. for example, as I just discovered, the PostgreSQL site recommends this Martin Pitt PPA [20:26] benoliver999: yes, the installer also allows formatting [20:26] myrmidette, that removes the folder ... but it sitll won't reinsall properly again :( it installs folders.. but no files, at all... [20:26] so I can reasonably expect him to be trustworthy if the PostgreSQL authors recommend his PPA [20:26] DasEi: Thanks man. [20:26] I really don't know sorry TrueColors :( [20:27] Silowyi, well, I'd say Martin Pitt is probably trustworthy enough for you add his ppa without much fear [20:27] you'd have to ask someone with experience with nginx [20:27] :( I'm going to have to reformat again if i wanted to use nginx... [20:27] xauth: Can you think of any? [20:27] or php for that matte [20:27] it still won't install php after removing it [20:27] SniperXPX: google is your friend. [20:27] SniperXPX: if it's text, any of cut, head or tail would do. [20:28] yeah it's all text [20:28] so yeah, just loop over head or something. [20:28] i dont really want to load a 3GB file into memory and use vi or something to chop it up [20:28] ill man head [20:28] SniperXPX, have a look at the "split" command [20:28] * xauth reads cut(1) [20:28] SniperXPX: split [20:29] ah [20:29] split looks good :) [20:29] SniperXPX: Yeah, split. That was it. [20:29] hi gusy, im wondering if this is bug or something [20:29] and what i should do about it [20:29] im trying to install libcv-dev but im getting dependency errors [20:30] for this package libcv-dev_2.1.0-2_i386.deb [20:30] now im looking on ubuntu packages site and the latest version is libcv-dev_2.1.0-2_i386.deb [20:30] whoops [20:30] libcv-dev_2.1.0-2_i386.deb [20:30] sorry the latest version is this [20:30] libcv-dev (2.1.0-3ubuntu1) [20:30] hmm - how do i get a "to" field in Alpine ? - i have no idea where to find it when composing a message. [20:31] can someone help me find a gthread-2.0 >= 2.14.0 ? [20:31] Hello all, I just finished installing / updating ubuntu 11.04. Now I am curious, should I install the additional drivers, or download them manually from the site and install them that way? (it's an amd radeon driver) [20:31] i cant find it anywhere [20:31] how to setup network connection on ubuntu === Gujs_ is now known as Gujs [20:31] sdcnlab_: How are you installing it? Where did you get it from? [20:31] Isn't it best to use the most up-to-date driver from amd's site, rather then the driver provided by ubuntu, for your display adapter [20:32] Lithos84, im trying to install from apt [20:32] how do i know what version of gtk i have? [20:32] SniperXPX, i've never actually used it but check out split --- "man split" for details [20:32] libcv installs fine [20:32] but the libcv-dev [20:32] has issues [20:32] SniperXPX, oh sorry - you found it already ;) === Zephr0 is now known as Zephr0`afk [20:34] sdcnlab_: I suppose you use 11.04. Try to update your repositories before installing it. [20:34] how can i find the location of my apache error log? /var/log/apache2/error.log doesn't seem to be the right one.... [20:34] running sudo apt-get update ? [20:34] ive done that a million times [20:35] sdcnlab_: Then use the main server and try again. [20:35] how do i go about doing that? [20:36] i thought i was on main server [20:36] System -> Administration -> Software Sources [20:37] Lithos84, that options doesnt seem to be there just update manager, synaptic [20:37] how can i find the location of my apache error log? [20:37] software sources is in synaptic [20:37] go to respository list? [20:37] apache2.conf says: apache2.conf:ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log [20:37] zoned: Doesn't your apache configuration say where the logs are? [20:38] xauth^^ [20:38] zoned, should be /var/log/apache2/error.log [20:38] how do i prevent my computer from hibernate? [20:38] hibernating [20:38] so ive got main, universe, restricted, multiverse [20:38] where do i change these system settings? [20:38] glebihan, that's what i thought, but that file doesn't seem to have been updated in a few hours, and i'm getting an error right now.. :/ [20:39] sdcnlab_: From which server? [20:39] zoned, then check the value of APACHE_LOG_DIR in /etc/apache2/envvars [20:40] in other software ive got canonical partners, source, independent, mediubuntu, maverick ppa launchpad natty,maverick and one for chrome [20:40] glebihan, hmm... it does seem to be /var/log/apache2 ..... so now i just have to figure out why this 500 error isn't being logged? [20:40] the canonical partners is http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu [20:40] for some reason the distrubution in canonical says maverick [20:40] im pretty sure this natty [20:41] ya atleast sources says maverick in distrubtion [20:42] zoned, I guess so... === sysadamin is now known as syadamin|away [20:43] sdcnlab_: Then you have to setup correctly your repositories. Natty provides "libcv-dev 2.1.0-3ubuntu1". [20:43] glebihan, i'm trying to run a perl script, set up a scriptalias /cgi/bin -> /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ and put my files there... but when i try to go to it in my browser i get a 500 error, and it's apparently not being logged... my error.log actually hasnt been updated in 4 days (which also seems unlikely)... any ideas? [20:43] Lithos84, it says maverick in distro? [20:45] sdcnlab_: Maverick provides "libcv-dev 2.1.0-2", so you can't upgrade it to "2.1.0-3ubuntu1". [20:45] okie, but the system is natty [20:45] sdcnlab_: look at lsb_release a and change sources accordingly, http://repogen.simplylinux.ch is a nice tool [20:45] so isnt that wrong? [20:46] sdcnlab_: it is, don't mix repos of distros, will break the system [20:46] zoned, I'm not familiar with perl in apache so not sure what could be causing this [20:46] well i didnt setup the system [20:46] so someone managed to scew it up [20:46] sdnclab_: Yes, something is wrong with your repositories. [20:47] ok DasEi if i generate the list [20:47] do i put that in the sources.list file? [20:47] sdcnlab_: yes, you get both, a sources list and a block for the keys you can put in script [20:48] hi all [20:48] oh okie [20:48] it says on the link what to do [20:48] hi [20:48] what does ubuntu have to check cpu temp? [20:49] sdcnlab_: so first get the keys, then re-fill sources list , then update/grade, then go on [20:49] Da|Mummy: lm-sensors [20:49] anything in repo?

I am running Ubuntu on it. So far everything works great. The only thing that is NOT working is the touch screen.

[21:10] hi, i keep getting this message whenever i try install lm sensors http://codepad.org/IJ6P3DJD [21:10] why shouldnt i format a 2tb hdd with ext3 or 4? [21:11] i dont have anything else running [21:11] Da|Mummy, go for it [21:11] hi i ve just bought a xtreamer ultra and try to install everest on the hdd [21:11] Da|Mummy, i use ext4 for my 1tb [21:11] i guess i can learn to do everything in this screen session [21:11] Ardour gtk2# [21:11] ?? [21:11] problem is that the installer keep crashing [21:11] magpii, let me know how you installed lm sensors, i dont even see it anywhere [21:11] it is based on ubuntu 10 [21:12] magpii, what does "fuser /var/lib/dpkg/lock" say ? [21:12] Gentoo64, so ext3/4 should only be avoided for sd cards and flash drives and nand? [21:12] Da|Mummy, i use ext4 on my ssd and flash drives. [21:12] all my drives actually [21:12] is it [21:12] ardour gtk2 [21:12] doesnt the journal minimize the life of flash drives? [21:13] edwardpatch: yes, that should be it [21:13] Da|Mummy, nah. ive been using it for years [21:13] edwardpatch: you should be able to find it in the software center [21:13] ok [21:13] Da|Mummy, it might slow down the writes very slightly but not noticeable [21:13] edwardpatch: also, install PiTiVi video editor at the same time [21:13] i i got lm sensors from here, http://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/monitor-temperature-of-system-components-in-ubuntu-with-psensor/ [21:13] will it record desktop [21:13] the [21:13] that fuser command doesnt do anything [21:13] ardour gtk2 [21:14] sorry im new with linux [21:14] Gentoo64, so are there any reasons why i SHOULD use ext3/4 over 2? [21:14] magpii, did you stop an apt process while it was running ? [21:14] sorry, i do have to go now [21:14] no [21:14] w8 [21:14] Da|Mummy, not really no. if you dont care for the journal then go for it. ext4 has some extra options for ssds though [21:15] will it do desktop recording [21:15] magpii, that's weird then... try "sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock && sudo apt-get update" [21:15] Da|Mummy, is it a 2tb flash drive then? :s [21:15] Anyone know why my load ave is so high on ubuntu 10.04?

[21:16] yes [21:16] you're using? [21:16] good times [21:16] im using nvidia 285m [21:16] magpii, no errors ? [21:16] BacktRacK, what process is running [21:16] ? [21:16] apt-cache crashed and now there are a bunch of files in /var/cache/debconf that seem to be out of date. is there a command to refresh them? [21:16] xchat is the only process [21:17] well app that i sopen [21:17] no errors reported after update [21:17] besides the terminal [21:17] magpii, then try installing lm-sensors again [21:17] BacktRacK, run top in a terminal itll show you whats using the cpu [21:17] 98.1 id and 2 running [21:17] corg [21:17] BacktRacK, install htop its clearer [21:17] xorg [21:17] and chat [21:17] 3 -2 -1 [21:17] are the number [21:17] cpu useage [21:17] BacktRacK: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:17] BacktRacK, which one has 100 on the cpu? xorg? [21:18] No its not even 100% [21:18] its only 3 % [21:18] it could be a nvidia driver bug, [21:18] lol [21:18] Thats what im sayin [21:18] BacktRacK: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:18] the cpu's arent even maxed out [21:18] what are you on about then BacktRacK [21:18] I was wondering why my load average was high?... [21:18] when theres nothing barely using my cpu [21:18] BacktRacK, something that was previously running [21:19] why is my sound not outputting any bass? [21:19] BacktRacK, no way to tell [21:19] My mouse pointer jumps all over the place, it does not recognize it's a elantech touchpad [21:19] [ 1.420440] mousedev: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice [21:19] So what do i do reinstall nvidia driver? [21:19] yikes, linuxquestions.org is impossible on a phone [21:19] ok, thanks for the info, it seams to have installed now [21:19] BacktRacK, no id leave it if its idling now. the nvidia drivers had bugs where itd use infinite cpu on a range of apps until you logged out [21:20] <[twisti]> hello, i run ubuntu lts 10.04 as a server, and i would like to allow my users to get their email with an email program of their choice. is postfix the right thing to read the documentation of ? or is that only for the server sending mail out ?

[21:21] BacktRacK, no i wouldnt [21:22] Gentoo64, unless it goes over like 10? lmao [21:22] BacktRacK, if your on gnome leave the system monitor running so you can keep an eye on the cpu usage for a while [21:22] Gentoo64, gentoo thats the thing thought the cpu usage is fine... the max its been at is 1.2... [21:22] or top, whatever. sounds like somehting was just using the cpu then stopped [21:22] thats normal [21:23] now the number are 0.66, 0.70, 0.70 [21:23] with heavy threads and compiling mines gone to over 10 [21:23] thats completely fine [21:23] yo, is there an easy way to create a launcher that will open a specific PDF in !%)(*! unity? [21:23] how many cores have you got? [21:23] 4 [21:23] BacktRacK, ^ [21:23] but it says i have 8 logical cores [21:23] 1.2 is nothing for quad [21:23] Im trying to find some sort of program that I can put onto my taskbar or use a hotkey to conviently and quickly switch resolutions / resize all windows icons etc [21:23] intel core i7 [21:23] BacktRacK, its all fine. move on lol [21:24] BacktRacK, 1.2 doesnt mean 100% cpu usage [21:24] i know it doesnt [21:24] i was worryed about load average [21:24] Gentoo64: [ 30.395068] input: ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input7 [21:24] BacktRacK, if it was 5 or 6 id be a bit concerned [21:25] it recognizes the mou-e but doesn't recog it in Mouse settings [21:25] BacktRacK, saying that mine is 0.0 0.1 0.7 [21:25] BacktRacK, but im just on xchat and term [21:26] yesh im on xchat and term to [21:26] cool [21:26] and urs is 0.0 0.1 0.7 mines 1.23 0.90 .77 [21:26] ..

[21:26] BacktRacK, if its idle now i wouldnt worry [21:27] 98.4 id [21:27] :P [21:27] BacktRacK, id only worry if it was stuck on high cpu usage [21:27] <[twisti]> how can i find out whats using my port 110 ?

[21:48] not fast but no problems at all [21:48] nvidia website [21:48] BacKtraK, should already be done [21:48] i know its not done on 11.04 [21:48] because i installed their drivers from nvidia website [21:48] on 11.04 [21:48] BacKtraK, you can use the nvidias drivers from the site. the newer ones do fix bugs but it might not even be that [21:48] i couldnt install nvidia binary drivers last time i tried [21:48] lol [21:48] anti [21:49] u have ti blacklist something in blacklist.conf, u had to kill x [21:49] then hit control + alt + f1 for cmd window [21:49] u have to install them outside of X [21:49] then go to the direct an install the driver [21:49] Hi [21:49] then go service gdm start [21:49] and should be done [21:49] ;) [21:50] to kill X service gdm stop [21:50] sounds esy enuff right?

[22:07] guest91108, you dont have to pm btw you can say in here case other people can help [22:08] okay, so now that i'm on 11.04 with ubuntu classic, how do i figure out what video driver is being used, and will it be a waste of time to deal with nvidia-ness? [22:09] i'm trying to run a perl script, set up a scriptalias /cgi/bin -> /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ and put my files there... but when i try to go to it in my browser i get a 500 error, and it's apparently not being logged... my error.log actually hasnt been updated in 4 days (which also seems unlikely)... any ideas? [22:09] rhizmoe, id recommend nvidia for speed [22:09] so ati is slower? [22:09] rhizmoe, if you just browse web, chat etc you dont need nvidia. youd be better off with nouveau [22:09] do we compare apples to bananas? [22:09] okay. i've been wrestling with gnome all afternoon so i thought i'd ask. [22:10] nouveau? [22:10] antihoax, im not saying that. im comparing nvidia to nouveau not ati [22:10] btw [22:10] compiled in agpart in kernel and now glxgears makes 60% more fps [22:10] ah, nv is deprecated. didn't know that. [22:11] How do I change the permissions on a single folder in Ubuntu? I tried chmod a+rwx File but then when I enter from GUI I don't have permission to create files. [22:11] nouveau is the os one to use [22:11] swank [22:11] selite, sudo before that [22:11] selite: what folder? [22:11] Gentoo64: Yupp, I was root. [22:12] selite, i think you need to chmod with one of the sticky bits so all additional files created in that dir will have the specified permissions? [22:12] jrib: Folder from my NTFS partition. [22:12] does latest nouveau have good performance in 3d ? [22:12] I removed brasero and installed gnomebaker. When I insert blank media, the dialog that pops up says "No applications found." The other media tab in nautilus also gives the same message. Anyone know where the launcher for gnomebaker should be placed so it get's picked up? I tried adding entries to /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache without luck. There are no conflicting entries in my .local folder. [22:12] jrib: When I do ls -l Folder. I can see that for every user rwx is enabled but when I enter from GUI I can't modify a file. [22:12] antihoax, no it never has. apparently it can play basic stuff like neverball ok [22:12] selite: ntfs does not use unix style permissions.

[22:32] Installing fail2ban. Brb [22:32] k,ping when ready [22:32] id use keys tbh [22:32] sudo apt-get install fail2ban [22:32] y [22:33] fail2ban is still avoidable by proxies is it not? [22:34] K.

That does look cool though. [22:38] and when i got it back [22:38] LasersFarm, That may be just what I need, thank you. [22:39] eveything was protected how to change permissions change all at once? or i hv to change one by one manually [22:39] Ellipsis753: No problem. Are you using computer or laptop? [22:39] hansg01: sudo chown -R $USER:USER $HOME should do it [22:39] chown -r [22:40] and where to mention the directory? [22:40] Linux should make it -R and -r same. :O [22:40] why do i have to reset the xserver manualy? [22:40] hansg01: you need to make the data owned by your user, its probably owned by root [22:40] why cant catalyst do it for me? [22:40] Kjekken: it would lose data as apps would die [22:40] I keep getting an error that says no route to host. [22:41] ActionParnship: yes exactly that is what i am asking [22:41] LasersFarm, I'm using a desktop computer, I've got a very nice widescreen, however all that wideness goes to waste 90% of the time, I'm looking for ways to improve my usage of it. [22:41] ActionParnship: but where to mention the directory [22:41] hansg01: the command I gave (ran as the user whom needs ownership and is in the admin group) will make $USER the owner [22:41] Firefox websites are often a column in the middle of my screen [22:41] hansg01: $HOME is the directory. I assumed you'd have the data in $HOME [22:42] Ellipsis753: Great. It's easier on computer than laptop because of compact keyboard. You can have three columns, or three rows, or 9 windows, or not. You'll see what I mean when you install it and give it a whirl. [22:42] Hey, I just installed ubuntu for the first time, 11.04. I was just wondering if this was an appropriate place to ask questions regarding a few things. [22:42] Ellipsis753: does it happen in all browsers? [22:42] and in $user i hv to write the username? [22:43] lockyy: yes, ask away [22:43] hansg01: if you run the command EXACTLY as I gave it then it will be fine [22:43] ActionParnship: ok [22:44] Thanks. I was just wondering if it was possible to make the centre one of my 3 virtual desktops the default one that appears when I log on. [22:44] hansg01: the variables given abstract things nicely, saves having to know the sername or the path of home ;) [22:44] As opposed to the leftmost one being the default. [22:44] Hi guys - Do we still have any support for OSS sound? [22:45] lockyy: there may be a command you can have run at login [22:45] BarkingFish, only alsa-oss i think [22:45] I'm trying to use a program called Transcriber, which I pulled from our pools, and it seems to want to output sound via /dev/sound/dsp === haji is now known as magg [22:45] BarkingFish, try the alsa-oss [22:45] ActionParnship: it gave me the error chown: missing operand after `hans:USER' [22:45] ok, that's a package right, Gentoo64? [22:45] I'm really quite clueless, would you be able to point me in the right direction for a command that would work? [22:46] hansg01: the command is: sudo chown $USER:$USER $HOME [22:46] hi everyone [22:46] BarkingFish, yes. ive never used it though but i hear it works [22:46] ActionParnship: ok [22:46] sorry: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER $HOME [22:46] ActionParsnip: better and shorter to use shortcut: chown -R $USER: $HOME [22:46] hansg01: you'll see an error about /home/$USER/.gvfs this is ok [22:46] sameone here can chat with me [22:47] ok, anything is worth a shot right now, Gentoo64 - I have a one hour video interview to transcribe, and if I can get this to work, it'll speed stuff up no end. [22:47] im ar new user user od ubuntu [22:47] jrib: I like to set the group too ;) [22:47] ActionParsnip: yes, it sets the group [22:47] BarkingFish, well i hope it works for you [22:47] action [22:47] cool? [22:47] ActionParsnip: chown: missing operand after `hans:hans' [22:47] Gentoo64, i blacklisted npviewer.bin no longer pops up [22:47] crazytop: support-question ?

Correct me if I'm wrong. I guess I could go look for a firefox add-on to expand the pages out? [22:47] lockyy: there may be a command line to run for compiz, you could ask in #compiz too [22:47] pops up [22:47] ActionParsnip: and actually sets to the login group which isn't necessarily same as username (though it is by default on ubuntu) ;) [22:48] Ellipsis753: worth trying, it's free ;) [22:48] BacKtraK, did you try reinstalling flash?

[22:58] action it says it couldnt find the packag [22:58] package [22:58] ActionParsnip no [22:58] BacKtraK: did the PPA add ok [22:58] lgagaz: then ext3 or ext4 [22:58] lgagaz, linux cannot fsck an ntfs drive so you shouldn't use that unless you have a windows system to check it with [22:58] yes [22:58] laserFarm, nothing really that I'm trying to accomplish, other than make better use of my screen space. It was suggested that I somehow get websites not to just be a column in the middle of the page. [22:58] lgagaz: if it's flash based, then use ext2 [22:58] @escott: i am using mdadm right now. using the gui to create a raid 0 using 2x pyro SSD's (sata III/6Gb/s). if i benchmark one drive by itself or the raid 0, the speeds come out to the same thing [22:59] i was wondering if there is something that i'm missing as i should be getting closer to double the read/write speed [22:59] at least, that was my assumption on the issue [22:59] BacKtraK: cd; wget https://launchpad.net/~sevenmachines/+archive/flash/+files/flashplugin64-installer_10.2.161.22-0ubuntu0~sevenmachines2_amd64.deb; sudo dpkg -i ./flashplugin64-installer_10.2.161.22-0ubuntu0~sevenmachines2_amd64.deb; rm ./flashplugin64-installer_10.2.161.22-0ubuntu0~sevenmachines2_amd64.deb [23:00] just out of interest, what's KP5? Apparently the keyboard shorcut is ctl+atl+kp5. [23:00] lol now it says [23:00] I would tend to disagree with that viewpoint [23:00] the flash plugin not installed?

[23:21] i want to automount my harddisk (the one i use to store my data) when the system boots up. I have set the option of rw. The disk is mounted fine but I am not able to write to it. I have to use sudo to do any writing. What could be the problem? [23:21] Has anyone ever had the problem the he did not need to enter a password do sudo? [23:21] gr33n7007h: You can use "sdb" if you intend to randomize your usb. [23:22] LasersFarm, Thank you. [23:22] Ellipsis753: You're welcome!

[23:25] Setting the rw option in /etc/fstab should ensure that the filesystem mounted would be writable, right? In my case, I am not able to write anything to the filesystem being a normal user. I have to use sudo. What could be the problem? [23:25] LasersFarm: I was just a bit confused since I always had to reenter my pw after I connected via ssh and now I didn't [23:25] LGB: Ownership? "ls -al" in the directory. What does it say? [23:26] dhodgkin, /etc/apache2/apache2.conf states ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log .... so i checked the envvars and it says the log dir is /var/log/apache2/ .... but the error.log isn't updating! it hasn't been updated in 5 days... idk where else to check? but i'm getting a 500 error on one of my pages, can't figure out why without the log... [23:26] cperrin88: Grace period, mostly likely. [23:26] LasersFarm: it says root [23:26] LasersFarm it says shred doesn't work with directories [23:26] LGB: What directory? Also, "echo $USER" -- You need to use chown [23:27] lgagaz: I can't check that for you. I'm at a friend's farm. No "recursive" in the manual? -R or -r -- Usually. [23:27] zoned, do you have any vhosts setup? [23:28] LasersFarm: I have mounted the hard disk in /media/disk. echo $USER is giving my username [23:28] yo, a usb dongle support > 1 devices connected concurrently right? [23:28] LGB: Right. "sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /media/disk/whatever-itis" [23:28] LasersFarm http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl1_shred.htm :(( [23:28] dhodgkin, i don't think so.. i've only been working on this server for like an hour, so i really don't know much about it. [23:29] don't see a vhosts.conf file [23:29] LasersFarm: I want the entire /media/disk to be under my ownership. So what you said would do the trick the next time my system mounts the hard disk on boot time? [23:29] look in /etc/apache2/sites-available/ [23:30] zoned, mind if I /msg you? [23:30] hello there, how do i check what version of driver is used for my wifi card? [23:30] no, please no [23:30] please do**** lol [23:30] dhodgkin, ^ [23:30] ? lol [23:30] LGB: The hard drive is owned by root. That's why you have to use 'sudo' repeatedly. Change the ownership to your user and it'll work fine /forever/ [23:31] hello there, how do i check what version of driver is used for my wifi card? [23:31] zoned, that confused me, DO msg you? lol [23:31] dhodgkin, pmed you [23:32] lgagaz: Try Google. I have to leave shortly. shred isn't the only option. Just saying. The internet here is too slow for me to google on your behalf. :( [23:32] LGB: "sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /media/disk/(use tabs to autocomplete)" [23:32] LasersFarm: It should work. But when trying to change the ownership, it is giving the output "Operation not permitted" for all the files under /media/disk. And "ls -al" still shows all the files to be owned by root [23:32] Does Ubuntu disable the ability to multicast by default? [23:33] LGB: /meda/disk/(your hard drive's UUID, usually) [23:34] LGB: I have to leave. Heading back to town. Somebody here know chmod. Very common. :) [23:34] LasersFarm: Thanks for all the help! [23:34] LGB: Wait. chown, I mean. Not chmod. ^_^ [23:34] LGB: Welcome! [23:35] I'm running ls on a folder on a DVD I found and all ls prints is 508. What does that mean? [23:37] phy1729: that there's only one file or folder in the folder, called "508"? [23:38] is there a command like shred but that can do directories too? [23:39] TheEvilPhoenix: no because it's ls -aehlFWO [23:39] Does Ubuntu disable the ability to multicast by default? [23:39] hi there. someone know how to use keyboard as mouse? tryed and no luck. Im looking for some generic linux solution. Is there config files? [23:40] is there an app i can use for ubuntu that allows me to turn fans on and off? [23:40] So I'd assume it'd output more if it were a file named 508 [23:43] im that poor i dont have mouse [23:47] hi i have a question i need to install 11.04 ubuntu on an old laptop with 80gb hard drive how much would i need for / and how much for /home? i want to be able to upgrade later without reformatting /home [23:47] mephist0: it has the feature. no idea hiw to turn it on. ;) [23:48] eaglestar, 10gb is probably enough for / but it depends on what you plan to install [23:49] what is that service that can auto block an ip thats trying to ssh in after so many failures. some bozo has tried 3000 times on me. ;) [23:49] escott just the basics for it to run properly. I want to be able to upgrade later without having to backup /home to an external [23:50] so i could have like 10 for / 68 for /home and 2 for swap escott_? [23:50] eaglestar, my entire system (including home and no music or media files is 12gb) === Cam is now known as PyIRC [23:51] ok cool [23:51] anyone else can help answer question? i would like 2 opinions if possible [23:51] what is maximum space needed for / for 11.04 [23:51] eaglestar 10GB is ok. 2GB swap ok.

[23:54] ? [23:55] for some reason i am having trouble installing off of the usb as well let me see on reboot [23:55] eaglestar: that way you can just expand the partitions when you get more spave [23:55] anyone got the 1892 realtek su wireless adaptor to work in ubuntu [23:55] yes i see thank you for that, how do i load that on install? [23:55] is there a drive mapping utility to find out what folders are using the most space in a folder tree?? [23:56] Barridus: filelight or there is a niuce ncurses based one called ncdu [23:56] Barridus, there is du, but there is also the disk-usage-analyzer that makes a pretty interactive graph [23:56] eaglestar: you probably need the alternative cd installer [23:56] anything? [23:56] can i load that on a usb? [23:56] cool SIFTU, escott, i'll give em a shot [23:57] what forum do we go to discuss tablet computers??? === Cam is now known as PyIRc === PyIRc is now known as PyIRC [23:59] sorry tablet to access irc first time.
