[00:00] Fudge: are you using keys or password? [00:00] keys [00:00] Fudge: can you connect using password? [00:00] Fudge: hey buddie.. log out and back in :) [00:00] Ok, I now kind of get how X redirection works with ssh -X, is there a way that I can have the remote X-session in a Xephyr window? [00:00] no just tried another user and got same thing [00:00] right now i have it set to the directions i posted above the iptables config [00:01] JokesOnYou77, you'll want to look at NX I think [00:01] http://www.server-servers.com/ubuntu-router-network-gateway/ [00:01] Fudge: reboot.. I'm sure it's one of those [00:01] jclbrt: webmin isn't to be used with ubuntu [00:01] SIFTU wont it have the same problem after a reboot? [00:01] its headless [00:01] ummm why? [00:01] i have it operating fine on about 18 other boxes [00:01] !webmin | jclbrt [00:01] jclbrt: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [00:01] !who | Fudge [00:01] Fudge: 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 :) [00:01] Fudge: I'm pretty I have had that problem before [00:02] Seveas: NX? Not the Siemens CAD program I'm assuming [00:02] thats very strange never had any problems with it before [00:02] and i have 10.04 installed on all my boxes [00:02] jclbrt: its not to be used, you can set it easily with SSH [00:02] ok.. how can i do it with ssh? [00:02] wahtproblem [00:02] SIFTU yeah its a lts 10.0.3 box now, was jaunty [00:03] oops .4 [00:04] changing a partition size changes its uuid? [00:04] oh 10 3 is out? [00:04] JokesOnYou77, no :) nomachine.com [00:04] jclbrt: you need to know the interface name then set the gateway IP and tell it to use that interface [00:04] is it better to wait for 1110 [00:04] mrdeb, there is no 10.3 [00:04] hmm [00:04] mrdeb, Fudge: there's no such thing as those versions [00:04] why [00:04] mrdeb, 10.04.3 exist [00:04] mrdeb, it does not exist [00:04] grid it does [00:05] ? [00:05] which interface? the LAN interface or the WAN interface [00:05] i know both of those [00:05] Seveas: thanks for the suggestion, but the functionality of the X server and VNC are more than sufficient for me [00:05] also what config files do i need to edit for that [00:05] jrib what doesnt exist? 10.4.3? [00:06] Fudge: that too and 10.0.3 that you said earlier [00:06] jrib it was clearly a typo but lts rel .3 does exist, your mistaken [00:06] Fudge: 10.04.3 exists, yes [00:06] ok guys so i got my telnet to work [00:06] jclbrt: whichever you want to get the web with [00:07] huh? lol... [00:07] jclbrt: I suggest you run: route on the server and on your client, and compare [00:07] ok now i am really lost [00:07] what do u mean run route? [00:08] i have a windows client connected to ETH1 (where it's getting DHCP) and ETH0 is connected to my modem [00:08] ill repeat my question, does changing a partition changes its UUID? [00:08] my Windows PC is indeed able to ping the server but unable to ssh to the server, or even get on the internet [00:08] need some opinons, i just finished installing postfix, im looking to to set up my email server im new to linux and looking for an easy install what do i install next? [00:08] GridCube: changing a partition in what way? [00:08] resizing [00:08] from the server (running ubuntu) i am able to ping my PC client by IP, and also able to ping the internet [00:09] what I dont understand is what you mean by setting up the routes or even how to compare the routes between the two machines [00:09] forgive me if the questions is pretty elementary but i've never set ubuntu up at the head of a network (I.E. as the DHCP server) [00:09] jclbrt yes i think it does [00:09] maybe Postfix + mySQL and Postfixadmin to manage it for that i would will need apache + php with mysql support maybe horde groupware for webmail [00:10] fudge: yes what does? [00:10] GridCube: I believe so [00:11] jclbrt the uuid? [00:11] Fudge, i asked the uuid :P [00:11] guys is ubuntu the only linux distro that automatically has drivers set up when you install it , i mean, do other ones do that or for all other linux distros do you have to manually download all your drivers before installing, put them on a disk / something and then load them after u install the new distro? [00:11] GridCube sorry loL, Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier [00:12] so what updates fstabs if i change a partition size? [00:12] GridCube im not sure if fstab actually gets updated, i recall when moving stuff around in gparted having to change swaps uuid to a new value [00:12] GridCube: are you sure anything does? [00:12] fudge that has nothing to do with what i'm doing [00:13] RP64: Ubuntu would be one distro which do not install properiary drivers by default. [00:13] u r probably talking to someone else [00:13] jclbrt yeah my bad [00:13] i'm having routing issues [00:13] RP64: depends for what hardware, proprietary ones like Broadcom, Nvidia and Ati cannot be legally included [00:13] qin: i mean like video drivers sound drivers etc. [00:13] jrib, nope thats why im asking, it sounds very silly to use UUID instead of the old /dev/sd* way of doing things [00:13] ActionParsnip: yo so action lol i know nvidia obviously i am experiencing that hardcore atm but like [00:13] ActionParsnip: basically yea what was the new plan we were gonna do ? I cant remember [00:14] GridCube: well it's nice if you put a new disk in or take one out, etc [00:14] so confusion... a thousand articles to do what i'm doing and ppl say tehy work... and not a single one has worked thus far [00:14] I'm trying to install a package on maverick, I'm getting this: ros-electric-eigen : Depends: libeigen3-dev (= 3.0.1-1+ros4~maverick) but 3.0.1-1+ros4~natty is to be installed. It looks like it doesn't want to install the package pending the upgrade. But I don't want to do the upgrade, any ideas? [00:14] jclbrt i guess its better than no article s:D [00:14] jclbrt: we're all unique [00:14] it'd be nice to have a readme that worked for a change tho [00:15] oh, well thanks jrib i will change all my UUID names to /dev/sd* paths [00:15] rhsanborn I have found aptitude is pretty good at recommending methods to get your package working [00:15] does anyone have any experience with Xephyr? [00:15] pretty sure ActionParsnip is correct but i have no clue what hes talking about [00:15] nick plus- [00:15] or even how to do what he is saying to do [00:16] jclbrt: be creative and combine some things you learned here [00:16] Fudge: I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you mean. [00:16] well i havent learned anything yet [00:17] since my problem is still existing [00:17] rhsanborn such as aptitude install package and if there are conflicts it gives you alternatives to get it working [00:17] jclbrt what was ActionParsnip 's method? [00:17] and seemingly noone can explain how to properly configure IPtables to allow me to route properly [00:17] oh jclbrt sorry thats out of my depth, they go upside down though dont they lol [00:17] Fudge: seems to be a routing issue [00:17] whats the command to see what kind of graphic card i have?? [00:17] jclbrt: do both interfaces have a default gateway set? [00:18] jclbrt: then kindly learn how to configure IP tables [00:18] ActionParsnip has he tried disabling iptables to see if its related? [00:18] seidel: sudo lshw -C display [00:18] ActionParsnip what do you mean? [00:18] Fudge: I don't believe so [00:18] please explain [00:18] how would i know [00:19] jclbrt: a network interface will get a default gateway set, telling the OS where to send packets to in order to connect to the network. This is usualy the IP of a router [00:19] jclbrt we're trying to see if the routing issue is related to iptables or something else [00:19] whats the command to see what kind of graphic card i have? on archlinux? [00:19] jclbrt: do both interfaces have a default gateway set? [00:19] seidel: arch isn't supported here [00:19] ActionParsnip i am trying to make my ubuntu a router [00:19] thats the issue [00:19] there is not router [00:19] #archlinux seidel [00:19] it connects RIGHT to my modem [00:19] jclbrt: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:19] jclbrt in that case the gateway is your modem [00:19] jclbrt: fine, but do both interfaces on the system have a default gateway IP defined? [00:20] jclbrt: sudo apt-get install pastebinit -y && netstat -rn | pastebinit [00:20] bazhang can you get in there and ask for me? i am not registred, and i registred wrong when i tried to, so i have to wait 24 hours till next time i can register a nick [00:20] seidel, #freenode for help with registering [00:20] jclbrt: if both interfaces have a default gateway set, it won't work. "2 defaults" makes no sense [00:21] jclbrt: the internal interface should have no default gateway set, only IP and subnet mask [00:21] ActionParsnip, i have no clue where to find that info [00:21] ActionParsnip, "default gateway" is not an interface-specific setting [00:21] jclbrt: well you set the IP addresses on the interfaces right? [00:21] :) [00:21] jclbrt: you know how to manually configure a network? [00:21] Seveas: it is [00:21] jclbrt: run that command I sent and we can see [00:22] ActionParsnip, no, it is not. See the output of the 'route' command. [00:22] Seveas: look at the config in /etc/network/interfaces onlin [00:22] How can i set correct subpixel rendering in FF7? it uses RGB and i need BGR... that looks very ugly. [00:22] jclbrt also an iptables channel might be better for you, think it redirects to #netfolder [00:22] Seveas: I only have one interface on this box, so doesn't show it [00:22] ActionParsnip, you may be able to define it twice, but that doesn't mean there can actually be two [00:22] Fudge: #netfilter maybe? [00:22] ActionParsnip, my ETH0 which goes out to my modem is set to dhcp [00:23] the ETH1 has a static IP set but no gateway [00:23] SIFTU loL oh yes i just heard the name didnt read it thank you [00:23] ActionParsnip, http://dpaste.com/624563/ :) [00:24] Anyone know how to downgrade to kernel 2.6.32-34? [00:24] in 11.04 ubuntu [00:24] the gateway for my clients IS the ubuntu machine [00:24] jclbrt: type cat /etc/network/interfaces | pastebinit and paste it here so we can see [00:24] why i cant install nvidia drivers? i get error after writing ''pacman -S nvidia nvidia-utils'' > :: nvidia-utils and libgl are in conflict. Remove libgl? [y/N] y error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) [00:24] ActionParsnip, the problem with /etc/network/interfaces is that it tries to do too many things: set up ip addresses, configure routing, set up interfaces... [00:24] bktrak: If you can find the debs, you can install the kernel. I don't adives it though [00:24] seidel, this is not arch support [00:24] i know [00:24] seidel, so dont ask here [00:24] seidel, then go away.

[00:25] ActionParsnip, hehe :) [00:25] Seveas: wired link only here [00:25] wifi + openvpn here [00:25] n-m is really useful for me [00:25] I need some insight on how library version numbers work on Ubuntu. For instance, I have the package "libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio 1.2.14-6.1ubuntu3". Clearly, it means libsdl 1.2.14 is installed. However, the library file it contains is "/usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0.11.3". Where does the 0.11.3 come from ? [00:26] ok pasted http://paste.ubuntu.com/700167/ [00:26] Seveas: on this box not so much, on my lappy I use wicd, gotta love curses UI [00:26] Thats what my interface configuration is [00:26] which should be right.... [00:26] Jester: probably a symlink [00:27] jclbrt: i see no gateway set [00:27] monkeydust the machine is the gateway [00:27] it's a router [00:27] jclbrt you can use pastebinit like /exec cat filename | pastebinit to get the link directly in many irc clients [00:27] MonkeyDust: getting it from dhcp probably [00:27] MonkeyDust, eth0 dhcp, dhcp will set the gateway [00:27] jclbrt: have you pasted your routing table yet? [00:27] i have no clue where to find my routing table [00:28] jclbrt, the route command [00:28] jclbrt: I sent you the command [00:28] jclbrt: sudo apt-get install pastebinit -y && netstat -rn | pastebinit [00:28] ActionParsnip: "/usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0 -> libSDL-1.2.so.0.11.3". "/usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0.11.3: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, stripped" [00:28] jclbrt: sudo apt-get install pastebinit -y && netstat -rn | pastebinit [00:28] srry lots talking to me [00:28] i see static and dhcp [00:28] monkeydust that is correct [00:28] Can anyone recommend a book on linux programming tools, programs such as gdb, gprof, and valgrind? A book covering all three (or some) is prefereable. [00:28] the static interface is where the DHCP server runs on [00:28] that needs no gateway [00:28] why i cant install nvidia drivers? i get error after writing ''pacman -S nvidia nvidia-utils'' > :: nvidia-utils and libgl are in conflict. Remove libgl? [y/N] y error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) [00:29] seidel lshw whill list hardware so you can determine the video card, but beyond that you will need to get into #archlinux [00:29] Hello, I have a problem with ubuntu, I'm receiving the error "unable to connect to system bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: Connection refused"....

I have a problem. I set up 2virtual machines. the first one has damn small linux running which i just use as a firewall to make sure that the second one which is using ubuntu(v 11.04) does not accidentally connect to the internet except trough tor. so its basically a gatekeeper.

It has alot of the following: `~():;:):( [00:32] anyone know whats going on? [00:32] ActionParsnip: I have no clue what you are talking about.

I'd like to install Xephyr in /home on a system I don't have admin privileges on [00:34] Can anyone help me pinpoint an issue I'm having with firefox's GUI? [00:35] Jester: some apps expect specific filename like /usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0 and if you don't have the file the app complains, so what you do is make a link to a different file so that the filename does exist. The file is essentially a COPY of the file it is linked to but costs zero extra storage, its only a link [00:35] !anyone | thrilway [00:35] thrilway: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

[00:36] Jester: so if some app was looking for /usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.15 and you don't have it but /usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0 des what is required, you can make another link and the app will run [00:36] *does [00:37] ActionParsnip: I know all of that. What I was asking does not even remotely pertain to that which you are explaining. However this page here gave me the answer. the version is divided into SONAME and ABI version (given by upstream). readelf is your friend. [00:38] Firefox's GUI is messed up to the point of making it unusable. It's probably been this way for me since around v5.0. [00:39] thrilway: try Chromium in stead of FF [00:39] thrilway, or throw away your ~/.mozilla/firefox folder to start with a clean slate [00:40] When I run "apt-get source xserver-xephyr" I get the entire xorg server. what do I configure/compile to get just Xephyr??

Just got a brand new acer aspire 5750, installed ubuntu on it, but I encountered problems with the wireless card. thought an upgrade will help, now I have 11.10, network card is still losing packets. lspci says it's a atheros AR2987 card using ath9k. Are there any known issues regarding it? Thanks [00:51] prodigel: ask in #ubuntu+1 [00:53] Hi, there. I have a problem.

[01:56] You can run Python by default [01:57] !tor [01:57] 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.

You may want to use distro with vast support instead of niche. [02:04] /mode mandrak +x [02:04] Hello [02:04] well i used ubuntu in 2008-10 then now im trying to install ubuntu onto my new computer, but , it won't work because of nvidia drivers [02:04] I have a really old XP Pro computer that won't boot into xp and constant reboot [02:04] RP64: Mint did not really impress me much, its a bit plain [02:05] I am trying to run a livecd ubunto 11.04, but the computer may be too old its been doing the ubuntu 11.04 with dots for a good 7 minutes so far [02:05] how do i run unp [02:05] MonthOLDpickle: Then you would want to have xubuntu live CD to test it. [02:05] RoDiMuS-X: yea the screenshots look plain lol [02:05] how can I get older linux to see if it boots into livecd [02:06] RP64: I am one for eye candy and simplicity so I stick with Ubuntu [02:06] MonthOLDpickle: or Damn Small Linux or Puppy. [02:06] ActionParsnip: hey i appreciate the help before do you still wanna help me out with the nvidia stuff ? [02:06] RP64: I had driver issues with I used the ATI drivers, so I switched to the generic and everything works fine [02:06] RP64: Did you try to run live session? [02:07] qin: oh man you have no idea how complicated it got haha [02:07] qin: but yes [02:07] And? [02:07] qin: well yeah live session works no problem but as soon as I login to my installed ubuntu it just goes black screen, tried all these methods like adding boot methods etc. none of them work even though they should , [02:07] qin: so new idea is to somehow go on liveCD and then download the Nvidia drivers and then transfer them onto the installed ubuntu [02:07] RP64: http://karuppuswamy.com/wordpress/2010/06/02/how-to-chroot-to-ubuntu-using-live-cd-to-fix-grub-rescue-prompt/ [02:07] qin: but i dont even know how to do that [02:08] ActionParsnip: oh thanks ill read that [02:08] RP64: Type of card? There was bug for it... Also what version are you using? [02:08] Did you try taking the nvidia card out and using onboard [02:08] ActionParsnip: wait , action, that's talking about fixing GRub problems [02:08] ActionParsnip: isnt it ?? [02:09] MonthOLDpickle: well thing is I want to use the nvidia since its high quality, as this is a gaming comp, but its also a desktop replacement Laptop so i cant take out the card :( [02:09] can someone help me install horde4 on ubuntu 11.04 willing to make a donation [02:09] RP64: you can also run updates from there using the web connection in the live cd [02:09] RP64: read between the lines ;) [02:10] RP64: lspci|grep VGA <-- paste output please [02:10] ActionParsnip: Oh i see hah [02:10] SIFTU: cant im on vista atm [02:10] RP64: is this a new laptop? [02:10] SIFTU: its from 2008 so not really but its not really outdated either [02:10] SIFTU: qosmio x300 [02:10] RP64: ah ok.. pre optimus then [02:11] lol I get file not found when trying to dl dsl [02:13] MonthOLDpickle: what is dsl? [02:13] MonthOLDpickle: "dl dsl" [02:14] damn small linux [02:15] Hello?

[02:16] xtremoxchile: sure, I'd use lubuntu or xubuntu to free up more resources [02:17] sudo apt-get moo [02:17] ok thanks you :) [02:17] sudo apt-get openbox [02:17] how do i save text so that italics and bold are marked like in a plain text document, if they arent already marked up like that? [02:18] Yay got ubuntu 10.04 to stablelize :0 [02:18] downloaded kernel 2.6.35 :) [02:18] solved the firefox.bin eating my cpu problem [02:18] bsmith093: bold and italic are formatting, and contradiction to plain. [02:18] :D [02:18] hi [02:20] baktrak: strange, I'd report a bug with your fix [02:20] Idk what it was [02:20] But i solved the beast [02:20] baktrak: the kernel? [02:20] :D [02:20] Yes [02:20] It was the kernel [02:20] :D [02:20] baktrak: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:20] 0.01 0.01 0.01 [02:20] how about that useage [02:21] baktrak, what? [02:21] what does it mean after trying to boot into dsl two pinguins and a blinking curosr [02:21] can't type anything [02:21] Thats my CPU usage from ubuntu 10.04 right now [02:21] MonthOLDpickle, ask in a dsl support channel [02:21] er not cpu load [02:21] load useage.. [02:21] bsmith093: If you want you can use Ansi, or RTF: echo -e "\033[1mfoo\033[0m" [02:22] but before i updated to kernel 2.6.35 on 10.04 it was high but now its really low 0.01 0.01 0.01 [02:22] :) [02:22] with firefox open and playin music ;) [02:23] qin: what i mean is, is there a fast way , because i would like to do this to ~1mb of text [02:24] baktrak: could have just updated to Natty etc ;) [02:24] bsmith093: maybe some fancy vim plugin, or kate. [02:24] dude i get .40 .40 .40 load usage in natty kernel ;) [02:24] why upgrade to tat when i get 0.01 0.01 0.01 ;) [02:24] baktrak: could report your fix as a bugfix, see what the devs reckon etc [02:25] I Could Your right.. but no one would help me so why should i help them? and Its not about being greedy or selfish its about.. People helping other.. [02:25] hiya wazzup [02:25] Sharings Carin right? ;) [02:26] meh [02:26] baktrak: someone has to make the first move... [02:26] Blah your right [02:26] and eating is cheating ;) [02:26] bsmith093: but plain text means no formatting, so either you will use, html, rtf, or use escape codes if text would be processed by script before showing. [02:26] Haha [02:27] Sad thing about this whole thing.. is that ive only used Ubuntu for like 2 weeks? and no ones figured this out till now? [02:27] baktrak: never had the issue, mind yo I dont use firefox :D [02:28] ActionParsnip, doesnt matter bro.. before i switched the kernels i used EVERY one i could thing of.. an they still were eatting my CPU [02:28] Thats shows You what Action?

[03:32] they run as either root or as a dedicated user [03:32] enchilado: yes, it's not that tab completion isn't working, it's that it is completing things incorrectly [03:33] Ah. [03:33] browser [03:33] In what way? o_O [03:33] or lets say the app generates a new file [03:33] a new.php [03:33] enchilado: for example, if i create a file called "File test.txt" and then do ls Fi, it will complete to "ls File test.txt", and not "ls File\ test.txt", which results in an error [03:34] enchilado: needless to say, that is completely fubar [03:34] maxximus: it will start at boot each time [03:34] is bash important to learn?

[03:35] Apple5: you should learn some scripting language, probably, but if you know python or ruby (which are more powerful) you don't need to know bash [03:35] ok than screw bash! [03:35] lol [03:35] I'm trying to compile the kernel which was downloaded from launchpad but have got some error, someone can help? [03:36] arch/x86/kernel/entry_32.S:1422: Error: .size expression for apf_page_fault does not evaluate to a constant [03:36] one of those error messenge is above === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [03:37] Alo! [03:38] rodd: either php:chwon or add user to group www-data and use higher permission for group, http://php.net/manual/en/function.chown.php [03:39] Apple5: most sysadmins will use bash and goto python only if they are doing something more advanced.. saying that 80% of sysadmin scripts bash can handle with ease [03:39] Hy guys,is there any upgrade i cn get that make mi dysplay dim a little,,is so bright that blind me,,is not working with the keyboard keys combination(FN+ Up & Down) [03:41] what do u guys think? my drive D: is formatted in FAT but when i restart, i have to manually mount drive D: is this normal? [03:41] thanks qin [03:41] BabyGirly: laptop details please [03:41] maxximus: is it listed in fstab? [03:43] graft: im not in my ubuntu box now but if its not, how do i make it listed? [03:43] !fstab [03:43] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [03:43] Was wondering if there is a backport for firefox. I am on 10.10 since there is no decent UI. My Debian box is using Gnome 2.32.x and has 6.0 as a backport [03:43] SIFTU ;) is a gateway M-series Model SA6 [03:44] The whole concept of ppa seems very unsafe. [03:44] maxximus: just take a look at /etc/fstab, it should tell you how to format a new entry [03:45] graft: oh ok, but i remember performing a clean format of drive d: and was asked if wanted FAT so i chose FAT [03:46] maxximus what are you trying to do? [03:46] sudo nano /etc/fstab [03:46] Onryo: just find it weird that i have to manually mount drive D: everytime i restart my ubuntu 10.04 [03:46] Onryo, that's the warning on PPA's, been using various ones for about four years with no problems. [03:47] maxximus drive D? [03:47] maxximus: that should be fine, linux can handle all types of filesystems [03:47] Onryo: another physical drive inside my box which is formatted in FAT [03:47] maxximus, oh yeah I forgot about that windows thing. Yeah Linux reads FAT32 with no problems. [03:48] Onryo: haha [03:48] Onryo: yes it reads them fine, but it doesnt mount automatically? i expect that drive to be there when i restart my system [03:49] maxximus, it will be if it is in fstab. [03:53] hi I have a sd card that I use on computer A (ubuntu), but when I try to use it on computer B (ubuntu) I get "failed to mount" something about privalages [03:53] how to I make this sd card accessible to multiple machines ? [03:54] chmod [03:54] look it upski [03:54] :) [03:55] yeah I have used chmod ex0 but I don't know enough about what I am doing to prevent myself from screwing things up or doing something unnessesary [03:56] I am guessing chmod u+r /media/disk ? [03:56] sudo chmod ? [03:56] use the "man chmod" command [03:56] and u will learn a good deal [03:56] correct [03:56] man chmod to learn about it [03:57] ex0, I guess my question is this: I would like to understand WHY I have to use chmod [03:57] csemple: You sure that you are sudoer on B [03:57] on windblows boxes (less secure I know) [03:57] its how you give permissions to things [03:57] you can plug anything into anything and you can read + write to anything [03:58] is this just because Linux is more secure than windows ? [03:58] csemple: do you safetly remove the item? [03:58] csemple: works 100% here [03:58] yes [03:58] HI all! I am using Lightning/1.0b2 Thunderbird/3.1.13 and I want to print out a week at a glance calendar in seven column format rather than the 5+2 box format. Is there some sort of add-on or something for that? [03:59] ActionParsnip, no, I stopped doing that becaues It prevented me from re-mounting the device I safely removed [03:59] ie. I would have to reboot the computer for it to be able to remount the sd card [04:00] is it critical ActionParsnip to safely remove things ? [04:00] maxximus you need to think about umask=007 and gid. The fstab will look something like this UUID=C8F8-03C6 /media/disk vfat auto,user,exec,rw,async 0 0 [04:00] c/elar [04:00] hey guys how come there are for sale items in ubuntu software center [04:00] maxximus I don't know what the UUID for your disk is though. [04:00] anyone here have any expeirence running ntop in ubuntu? [04:01] Apple5: Free software can mean as in "free speech" as you are given the rights to modify and redistribute it [04:01] no i mean there is software for sale it isnt free [04:01] i have it up and running but only monitoring one interface [04:01] which is my external [04:01] Apple5: also the GPL doesn't prohibit from a propreitary program from running off of a open-soource kernel [04:01] Apple5 FOSS is he what GNU/Linux is all about =) [04:02] love this channel for all the quick advices [04:02] Hi everyone [04:02] anyone familiar with TimeTrex? [04:02] whoever is helpful is nice here btw [04:02] thank you [04:02] hi Atrika [04:02] i'd like to get ntop monitoring both my internal (LAN) traffic as well as my External (WAN) traffic [04:02] maxximus I just found something on Google that will help you out. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=812884 [04:02] the machine is serving as a dns server as well as a DHCP server [04:02] if i could help i would :( [04:03] Onryo: Thanks alot! [04:03] maxximus seems there are a few Windows users left on this earth. Knew I would find something =D [04:03] csemple, Depending on settings, linux hold writes in cache memory until it is flushed. Safely removing forces a flush. Windows does similar things. So unless you safely remove or unmount a drive, you might the drive before everything gets written to it. You could wind up corrupting the card. [04:04] csemple, s/might the drive/might remove the drive/ [04:04] Onryo: well thats a sad fact haha. my small home office used to be all windows coz i have a database program written in vb used in my inventory system [04:05] Onryo: now im moving to the web so im migrating to ubuntu 10.04, [04:05] just that there are still some xp users left that i have not migrated so sharing is kinda painful [04:06] maxximus I really liked Ubuntu until 10.10. Then they did some weirdo stuff to the UI. [04:06] Onryo: can i update to 10.10 via the update manager? [04:06] !upgrade [04:06] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [04:07] maxximus, Onryo, Unity?

[04:07] hola compadres [04:07] Onryo thats pretty enticing haha [04:07] Atrika: I'd ask in a minecraft channel [04:08] !es | RP64 [04:08] RP64: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

Where can I find those design hipsters and tell them my way of thinking? [04:08] Sidewinder1: it was just a joke instead of saying hi lol [04:08] :D [04:08] how can I switch windows in irssi [04:08] ex0, [04:08] maxximus yeah Unity does not work well with my workstation using 3 x 24" 1920x1080 monitors. [04:09] RP64, It's late, here... [04:09] I did this to fix my problem (did NOT use chmod) [04:09] Sidewinder1: how late [04:09] sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/disk [04:09] (after I sudo mkdir /media/disk) [04:09] 12:09... [04:09] prob in su [04:09] then I could access it [04:09] can i install ubuntu 10.10 s/ws in 11.04 ? i have the aptonCd back up of ubuntu 10.10 s/ws....... [04:09] I just switched to 11.10 and well the launcher cannot be sanely used in auto-hide mode. Any else gets it? [04:09] Atrika: ALT+number [04:09] wen i m using the pass it gave error : authenticaton failed [04:09] hansg01: root is disabled. use: sudo -i instead [04:10] Here's the thing: [04:10] <|Slacker|> Strav: 11.10 questions are answered in ubuntu+1 [04:10] maxximus as a programmer I need Eclipse and emacs on 2 screens and my notes and browser on the 3ed screen. [04:10] ActionParsnip: hey im just trying that articles thing now , just to tell you all igot out of that article was how to mount the ubuntu installation [04:10] On ubuntu 11.04, using unity's launcher set to auto-hidden was manageable: since most applications (browser's back button for instance) place several important elements on the left of the screen, when maximized, you could still manage to use these elements without triggering the launcher by setting the launcher's trigger region to be at the top left of the screen. Since only the dash button was in this area, there was no reason for your [04:10] how do I get a sd-card to just work without having to change permissions and go to the command terminal to open up [04:10] cursor to be there except if you'd wish to either launch dash or trigger the launcher - it made sense. Now that the current window's close, minimize and maximize buttons have been place in this area (and that for some reason, the launcher's trigger region fails to respond properly when set to this area on 11.10 ), you don't have any way of using your application without risking to trigger the launcher without wanting it to. The only [04:10] space left would be the bottom left corner but that would be absolutely counter-productive since most people sort their frequently accessed applications top to bottom and not the inverse. [04:10] ? [04:10] Strav: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:10] hello hello, How are you?

[04:11] hey, guys I have a new one. Hopefuly one of you can help. I just used the startup disk creator to make a bootable usb. Now i have installed and want to reuse the usb. However, when I plug it in it will not mount, does not show up under lsusb. But I can still boot from it. Can anyone explain what is going on? [04:11] Sidewinder1: because I only sleep during the day time, it protects you from skin damage and doubles your nightlife [04:12] das7: nope it's a bug report. [04:12] RP64, That's a philosophy for the young. [04:12] Sidewinder1: im 47. [04:13] 56 :D [04:13] WilGil, look at the usb with disk utility. [04:13] strav, its ok ??? [04:13] RP64: its 5:12am here (working a nightshift ;)) [04:13] Sidewinder1: it was all a joke im not 47 or sleep in the daytime [04:13] maxximus most of the time I dream about quiting my job and becoming a gigolo on the French Rivera [04:13] well it's pasted so. People might as well read it. [04:13] !ot | Sidewinder1 [04:13] ActionParsnip: oh that's interesting wow thats like me last night except i just had insomnia [04:13] Sidewinder1, please see my private message [04:13] how do i use pastebin?

[04:13] Sidewinder1: I'm actually 19 so I wanted to disrupt your theory of "For the young" by saying I was 47 [04:14] das7: but thanks for the advice, I'll use the pastebin for ubuntu+1 [04:14] Onryo: maybe i could join u someday haha [04:14] RP64: I grew out of that when I started doing 12 hour shifts [04:14] any cool games on ubuntu? [04:14] maxximus =) [04:14] WilGil, start the computer with it plugged in, hard to say what is happening really. === gold is now known as Guest19812 [04:14] Apple5: urbanterror and penumbra are great native games [04:14] perhaps there is a reserved bit on the USB that says "hey i am a removeable flash device" and that got flipped? [04:15] is free? [04:15] Apple5: penumbra isn't free but the demo is great [04:15] strav, u r welcome. i need a help [04:15] Apple5: urbanterror is free and s like counterstrike [04:15] Onryo: do u know how i can check if apache is installed as a service? [04:15] Apple5 you have a good graphics card? Try Alien Arena [04:15] Apple5: its available on the playdeb ppa [04:15] urlin2u: tried that as well no dice unless i go to the boot select popup and select boot from usb device. [04:15] sweet, in about an hour, I fixed all my wireless problems on 3 comps.

[04:16] ex0, I tried this (sudo mkdir /media/disk, sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/disk, then sudo chmod u+r /media/disk), and I still have the same problem [04:16] WilGil, in your sistuation I would try it in another OS or use a bootable gparted disc or any one that will read the partition format, and format it to what you want.. [04:17] office1: Can you say what you've done, exactly? [04:17] if I remove and re-plug-in my sd-card a window appears saying "you do not have the permissions to mount this device" [04:17] office1: do you mean: sudo modprobe iwlagn 11n_disable=0 swcrypto=1 [04:17] sudo rmmod -f iwlagn [04:17] another site like pastebin.com http://drupalbin.com [04:17] sudo modprobe iwlagn 11n_disable=0 swcrypto=1 [04:17] even though I did the sudo chmod u+r /media/disk after manually mounting (sudo) /dev/sdb1 [04:17] Onryo: thanks, coz i installed an attendance system and is working fine but once i reboot, it stops working. [04:17] after mounting it as root I can access the files [04:17] ! who | office1 [04:17] office1: 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 :) [04:18] office1: run: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/iwlagn.conf [04:18] ok [04:18] office1: add: options iwlagn 11n_disable=0 swcrypto=1 [04:18] but how to I allow this sd-card (((brand new))) to be able to just plug into my computer and mount automatically (like it tries to do) ???? [04:18] office1: So you want to have iwlagn load with those options.. sec [04:18] sudo chmod /media/disk didn't do anything (u+r) [04:18] csemple: Who is owner of files? You have differet usernames in A and B? [04:19] qin, its hard to tell because thunar does not give me any "properties" on devices [04:19] gigolo doesnt show anything exists [04:19] not sure where to get that information from [04:19] csemple: ls -l /media/disk [04:19] csemple: Or with sudo if needed [04:20] office1: Create a file /etc/modprobe.d/iwlagn.conf and put inside: options iwlagn 11n_disable=0 swcrypto=1 [04:20] ActionParsnip: so I'm creating that file, then putting that line in it. [04:20] office1: Reboot and test. [04:20] urlin2u, thanks, but i don't have any other os's running right now. I run windoze through virtual machines (and i doubt windoze will read it either). maybe if i boot it in a machine running knoppix.

[04:20] ActionParsnip: Gah, you beat me ;) [04:20] maxximus, if you don't have this dir then you don't have apache cd /etc/apache2 [04:20] qin, that was the output ^ [04:20] qin, drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 32768 2011-09-25 15:23 DCIM [04:20] office1: yes, when the module is loaded the option will be applied [04:20] Double kudos to Action, he's always super helpful.

[04:21] office1: Basically it's just loading the driver with those options [04:21] WilGil, some usb's have firmware on them that can cause problems have you looked on the web?

However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [04:25] urlin2u, I believe that there is a set of reserved bits on all usb flash drives that contain information about the brand, size, and the fact that the device is a removable flash drive. When the startup disk creator loaded the boot loader and created the persistence partition it flips the bits that denote that it is a flash drive so that a full install can be performed. [04:25] das7: I recommend firefox add-on 'download helper' [04:26] ActionParsnip: haha I've done 12 hour shifts before and it still didn't cure it [04:26] das7: I use youtube-dl [04:26] RP64: 4 days of 12 hours?

[04:36] RP64: a wired link makes life a tonne easier [04:36] ActionParsnip: does this thing tell me how to chroot though I don't see that in it [04:36] jammiesAREon: it's a long long issue he helped me out with yesterday for like 4 hours and we still cant fix it, nvidia issues with ubuntu 11.04 on my qosmio x300 [04:36] RP64: you need to mount the partition, bind the 3 folders then chroot [04:36] oh good luck [04:36] that sounds like a GUI thing [04:37] GUI thing? [04:37] lol i've been pretty out of the loop with a GUI lately [04:37] Chroot is in terminal [04:37] jammiesAREon: lol thx u 2 [04:37] ActionParsnip: OK im mounting [04:38] ActionParsnip: do you happen to know what /mnt/myroot should be replaced with? myroot?? [04:38] what [04:38] no... plp i mean i only use a command line as of late, so I know nothing about anything when it comes to nvidia stuff as I dont have the need for nvidia graphics drivers or any of that watchmacallits [04:38] Oh I see it [04:38] I mean [04:38] ATI works better with Ubuntu [04:38] In fact [04:38] With mostly Linux Distributions [04:38] i thought he was having hardrive issues lol like mounting or something, i dunno i wasnt reading [04:39] loll [04:39] ATI has native ubuntu drivers by now ya? [04:39] RP64: mount to /mnt and you'll be ok [04:39] Always has trouble with Nvidia [04:39] I guess not [04:39] But [04:39] jammiesAREon: needs updates and cant get a wired link for some reason, but gets a link in liveCD so can use that in a chroot [04:40] ah [04:40] i see now [04:40] that makes sense [04:40] I has a netbook with a Hackint0sh and the Natty [04:40] so it's a NIC issue? [04:40] And their graphic board card it's an ATI [04:40] But [04:40] urlin2u, its called the rmb and the only apps that give access are for windows [04:41] My friend has a real good computer, with Windows and Ubuntu Maverick [04:41] pLp: Have mercy, write longer lines and keep on-topic [04:41] And it's a Nvidia 9600GT [04:41] !ot > pLp [04:41] pLp, please see my private message [04:41] Never works [04:41] propertly [04:42] ActionParsnip: hey so I mounted it , [04:42] RP64: ok did you use the bind mounts too? [04:42] revolutionary [04:42] ActionParsnip: which 3 folders were you talking about? there were folders involved? [04:42] ActionParsnip: how do I bind 3 folders [04:42] i typed in command $ sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt [04:43] oh hold on..... the rest of the instructions are what you meant right [04:43] WilGil, you can probably wipe the whole usb, I has a sandisk thta was a problem, nut on the web was a way of removing the firmware. [04:43] RP64: RP64 then use: sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev [04:43] oh OK, sorry I didn't write down those things from yesterday [04:43] oh well OK here goes [04:44] has=had* [04:44] ActionParsnip: OK I used that command , hmm did that do it ? [04:44] RP64: did you get any output from the command? [04:44] no [04:45] RP64: great, now press up cursor and change the words 'dev' for 'sys' [04:45] haha oh OK [04:45] done , also no output [04:45] RP64: then same again but change it to 'proc' obviously without the quotes [04:46] and thx for that little trick of up cursor didnt know that [04:46] OK done no output [04:46] Friends [04:46] I going to have to sleep [04:46] hi Peoples Liberation Party [04:46] Or maybe try [04:46] OK goodnight! [04:46] I don't know why but my session just closed without any warnings. I was thrown to the black shell and from there I found something like "your home directory was unmount bla bla... ecryptfs-mount-private" wtf? [04:46] Good night [04:46] Disbelive. [04:46] RP64: ok then run: sudo chroot /mnt [04:46] urlin2u, thanks i am familiar with that that is the sandisk u3 utility built into the firmware of the disk controller. Mine is a pny specifically chosen because it is a very generic usb drive. There has to be a way to fix theis from linux. I am pretty much done with windows. I still have one computer at home running windows and if all else fails i will try some of the usb partition... [04:46] ...utilities for windwos that i dug up. But I plan on spending the rest of the night trying to figure out how to do this from linux [04:46] Sorry does'nt help. [04:46] when I type that it requests a passphrase [04:47] Bye, see ya tomorrow [04:47] ActionParsnip: OK I did that and got a new command line with a hashtag [04:47] pLp: bye [04:47] ActionParsnip: OH yeah it's root/ubuntu [04:47] RP64: ok you are now talking to your internal drive. [04:47] root @ ubuntu i mean [04:47] wow amazing [04:47] WilGil, you might try dban. [04:47] this is what chroot is huh [04:47] can anybody help me? [04:47] cool [04:47] RP64: run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [04:47] OK [04:48] both seperately right [04:48] RP64: on the same line, either way is fine, same result === Kasjopaja23111 is now known as Kasjopaja [04:48] woops oh ok i did it seperately already but if its both fine awesome [04:48] I have all my data hidden [04:48] hold on [04:48] ActionParsnip: i got a huge error [04:48] or unaccessible [04:48] please help === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest20258 [04:48] RP64: what is the error? [04:48] !patience | HoNgOuRu [04:48] HoNgOuRu: 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/ [04:49] urlin2u, maybe, i was just reading something about testdisk, maybe that will work [04:49] ActionParsnip: hey I'll pastebin it to you [04:49] RP64: coolio [04:49] http://paste.ubuntu.com/700292/ [04:50] i mean it said FATAL that can't be good [04:50] RP64: Do you want to paste: "history" [04:50] qin: What are you talking about? lol [04:52] RP64: It terminal: history and paste output on paste.ubuntu.com [04:52] oh OK [04:52] it only lists two.... 1 sudo apt -get update, and 2 history [04:52] hey everyone [04:53] qin: is that strange [04:53] ActionParsnip, re:RP64 "sh: cannot create /dev/null: Directory nonexistent" that's really weird [04:53] zykotick9: oh is it, do you think my installation of ubuntu is faulty or something ? [04:54] RP64, ? [04:54] zykotick9: ???? because you said that error is weird [04:54] does anyone have any suggestions for a good bluetooth or other type of wireless mini keyboard with touchpad? [04:54] zykotick9: yeah, websearching now. Strange [04:54] I need ubuntu support [04:54] RP64, i don't know what it means, just sayin' it's weird [04:54] zykotick9: lol oh. dang. [04:55] mattwj2002, you might try #hardware [04:55] RP64: do you have /home on a seperate partition? [04:55] okay [04:55] RP64: in the installed OS? [04:55] thanks [04:55] ActionParsnip: I have an extended partition that hosts the installed OS on 2 sub partitions [04:56] urlin2u: I don't think #hardware redirects to ##hardware.. [04:56] urlin2u: this is bizzar. I just stuck the flash drive in another machine to see if it would boot it and it did (as i expected). Pulled it out and popped it into my desktop, upon which i was installing test disk and it automounted and popped up on the desktop. Thanks for all of your help. [04:56] ActionParsnip: I mean I haven't even been able to log into the ubuntu OS even once so I don't think I've put the /home onto a seperate partition because I followed pretty much default settings for installation === Arcade is now known as Arcademan [04:56] RP64: ok try: source /home/foo/.bashrc change 'foo' for your ubuntu username [04:56] soreau, it does but it was the wrong notation. [04:56] partitions - ughhh i just got done writing a whole article on filesystems and virtual memory not to mention sd cards [04:56] ActionParsnip: OK [04:56] WilGil, cool np. [04:57] RP64: you can use TAB to complete folder and filenames [04:57] RP64: actually, run: su foo chnage foo to your username, see if it works [04:57] ActionParsnip: hey when i did the first command you posted, it just repeated many times, dev null no such file or directory [04:57] ActionParsnip, did my hostmask show up a few min ago :P [04:57] ActionParsnip: your second command had same result === Arcademan is now known as Arcade [04:58] RP64: ok try: sudo mknod -m 666 /dev/null c 1 3 [04:58] ActionParsnip: but it has to exist because the commandline is using my username in it === Arcade is now known as Arcademan [04:59] Hello. I am looking to make my mousebutton right-click a hotkey on my keyboard because my laptop mouse is broken :-( Does anyone know the command line program that when you click any button or key shows the command of what youre doing? === Arcademan is now known as Bones [04:59] RP64: may help [04:59] actionparsnip: [04:59] sudo: unable to resolve host ubuntu [04:59] sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified [04:59] :( that happened [05:00] RP64: ok try the update again [05:00] RP64, is this a fresh install? (do you have any data/settings involved?) [05:01] zykotick9: yeah its fresh 3 days ago [05:01] ActionParsnip: OK how do I try the update again? my whole terminal is flooded with error outputs so i cant see it [05:01] RP64, what happened? [05:01] zkotick9: I had it 3 days and cant login even once so theres no data/settings on it lol i didn't import either [05:02] ma i missing something here,,i want to dim my desktop,,is not working = setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B= [05:02] RP64: blow it again and start again [05:02] zykotick9: It's not detecting Nvidia drivers i figured, because when I login it goes to black screen and some normal workarounds to that didnt work [05:02] RP64, can you login from tty? (like ctrl+alt+f1 - c+a+f7(orf8) to get back) [05:02] esheep: what do you mean blow it again [05:02] zykotick9: hold on im trying something parsnip said [05:03] ActionParsnip: Hey how do I try the update again? [05:03] RP64: lol - i meant blow it away and start again [05:03] RP64: sudo apt-get update [05:03] ActionParsnip: dang , didn't work [05:03] RP64: use up arrow to use old commands ;) [05:03] ActionParsnip: oh OK thx cool [05:03] RP64: can you ping 8.8.8.8 ? [05:04] RP64, is it gdm / gui that doesn't start? can you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log for the channel? [05:04] ActionParsnip: well im surfing some websites at the moment so i know that would work but ok [05:04] esheep: haha oh [05:04] zykotick9: what , no it starts up fine goes to login screen, and then i login succesfully, andi t shows normally for 0.5 seconds and then blackscreens [05:05] ActionParsnip: OK its pinging it [05:05] RP64, that's messed, i have no idea. good luck! [05:05] zykotick9: lol thanks yea i know right [05:06] RP64: also run: sudo nano /etc/default/grub find this line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" and change it to: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nouveau.blacklist=1 nv.blacklist=1" press CTRL+X, press Y, press ENTER. Then run: sudo update-grub [05:06] ActionParsnip: does it keep pinging forever?? [05:06] RP64: yes, press CTRL+C t stop it [05:06] ActionParsnip: didn't nouveau.blacklist=1 not work with this video card before ? [05:06] RP64: we;re adding it to the default config now ;) [05:07] RP64: if we blacklist both it will force vesa driver :) [05:07] ActionParsnip: Woah!!!! It gets the same unable to resolve host ubuntu crap that it did with the tryingto update! [05:07] ActionParsnip: when I try to run the sudo nano etc defualt thing [05:08] ActionParsnip: does it mean anything by "no tty present and no askpass program specified " or is that useless info [05:08] RP64: ok what is the output of: cat /etc/hostname [05:08] output is ryan-Qosmio-X300 [05:08] RP64: ok then run: hostname ryan-Qosmio-X300 keep the case accurate [05:09] RP64: then try the update [05:09] how can i make my pc to start automatic with this settings for my DIM- setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=$b$b [05:09] i mean setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=40 [05:09] ActionParsnip: said I must be root , ill try with sudo [05:10] RP64: you're learning :) [05:10] ActionParsnip: lol thx and btw it had the exact same error [05:10] BabyGirly: add it in /etc/rc.local above the exit 0 line [05:10] Does Ubuntu software centre install a file immediately after downloading? or after downloading all of them? [05:10] bhavesh_: it downloads them all first [05:11] ActionParsnip, ok :) [05:11] ActionParsnip: had the exact same error, that's strange [05:11] RP64: ok if you run: sudo nano /etc/hosts add the line: 127.0.0.1 ubuntu press CTRL+X, Press Y then press ENTER [05:11] having issues with firefox. major lag issues [05:12] ActionParsnip: nano/etc/hosts gives the same error too! Wow this is crazy [05:12] RP64: so it will be: 127.0.0.1 ubuntu [05:12] ActionParsnip: I keep getting told "unable to resolve host ubuntu" "no tty present and no askpass program specified" with all of these unrelated commands [05:12] ActionParsnip: that sudo nano/etc/hosts gave it too [05:13] RP64: ok in the live cd (not the chroot), run: gksudo nautilus (use a new terminal) and you can then navigate to /mnt/etc and edit the file yourself :) [05:13] what is the issue you are having rp? [05:13] out of curiousity [05:13] hello everybody, I just added a channel where I'm registered at to my favourites in empathy messenger; but I can't auto login due since my nick is registered. what can I do? [05:13] RP64: If that doesn't fly then I'd try a clean install [05:13] ActionParsnip: OK hold on im trying it D: [05:14] well shit... [05:14] Glitchy: Well it's that my ubuntu install wont detect my nvidia display card so it blackscreens after logging in [05:14] ActionParsnip & RP64 if the hostname is messed up, sudo is probably broken [05:14] ah, totally different issue than what mines doing [05:15] how do you clean install ubuntu? is it basically the same as windows [05:15] mlatelcom, you might ask at #freenode [05:16] Glitchy: whats your issue? [05:16] major lag issues after a failed install of openvpn [05:16] urlin2u thanks very much for your help I'll try that [05:17] ActionParsnip: OK I added the line, I put it at the bottom of the other 2 instead of before does that matter? [05:17] couldnt get network manager to recognize the conf files so i tried installing in root, it froze in terminal for more than an hour and i finally forced closed... [05:17] RP64, ActionParsnip, I don't mean to butt in, but have you tried booting with nomodeset [05:17] WilGil: yeah man it didn't work [05:17] mlatelcom, np, hope that woks. [05:17] "Actionparsnip" is no longer in here [05:17] works* [05:17] what.... [05:17] hahah wow where'd parsnip go [05:18] esheep you get all that? [05:19] Glitchy: yep got that, did u completely remove openvpn? [05:19] hi [05:19] no...honestly still trying to figure out the ubuntu style [05:20] wanted to get the vpntunnel working...but i think i may just have to uninstall it all... [05:20] ill go do all that stuff...be back later [05:21] RP64, is that a pci card or an integrated card? [05:21] Glitchy: not sure what the issue is but i would go into synaptic package manager and choose the complete removal for openvpn - at least that might get you back to normal [05:21] wilgil: its nvidia geforce [05:22] wilgil: BTW if you were following our convo, adding the line to the hosts file actually solved 1 of the 2 errors it kept repeating , the "unable to resolve hostname ubuntu" one [05:22] WilGil: but "no tty present and no askpass program specified" keeps happening when I try to update the driver [05:23] WilGil: Any ideas? lol , I'll take any [05:23] RP64, I only caught some of your conv [05:23] RP64, are you working off of a live cd chrooted [05:24] WilGil: Oh, well basically my installation of ubuntu won't recognize my Nvidia card, so , everytiem I login it blackscreens, we tried nomodeset and also nouveau.=1 thing, both didnt work [05:24] WilGil: and yea it's live cd chrooted [05:24] RP64, and you have video on the live cd? [05:24] WilGil: Yea [05:25] hi RP64 [05:25] hi WilGil [05:25] RP64: what is the model of that nvidia card? [05:25] hi all [05:25] hello esheep [05:25] hi linuxuz3r [05:25] esheep: hmm not sure i'll check [05:25] hi [05:25] RP64: its helps to know :) [05:27] esheep: Im not sure but I'm 99% sure it's GeForce 9800M GTS [05:28] hello everyone, right now my speakers sound very crappy... like if they are blowed up... is there a way to check if everything it's ok with the sound? [05:28] What is the difference between hibernate and suspend? [05:28] RP64: damn, no reason why thats shouldn't be detected i would have thought [05:28] esheep: Hmm really weird [05:29] !hibernate [05:29] esheep: Dangit! I like ubuntu its like sexier than a Mac and windows is just ugh , even though mine is really secure + safe , and is running fast, i still dislike it [05:29] your ubuntu [05:29] Max229: suspend powers down most of the computer except ram, hibernate shuts down the whole computer and saves ram contents to hard drive [05:29] ubuntu is sexy [05:29] yum [05:29] WilGil: Which is better? [05:29] the best [05:30] RP64: did you actually get to install the nvidia drivers or did it not get that far? [05:30] esheep: that's what im trying to do now, it wont let me through chroot for some reason [05:30] Max229, depends, suspend wakes up faster, but uses more power, hibernate takes the same amount of time as a reboot, but saves your spot and of course uses less power [05:31] anyone? [05:31] esheep: I run sudo apt-get update and it tells me "sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified [05:31] RP64: what version of ubuntu? [05:31] suspend sometimes does not display the logon screen though and simply does not work :( [05:31] esheep: 11.04 [05:31] lauratika: Hey, if it sounds messed up then you know it's not OK, probably , right? [05:31] rp64, when did u install the os? [05:32] Max229, what kind of computer is it desktop or laptop [05:32] mike_sr: 3 days ago and been trying to fix this ever since, first tried through booting going to grub, pressing E and adding codelines to try nomodeset and nouveau.=1 thing and they both didn't work [05:32] desktop [05:32] RP64: perhaps its a 11.04 issue - unity screwed a lot up IMHO [05:32] mike_sr: now trying this and it gives me this error while chrooting [05:32] esheep: you're not using 11.04? [05:33] esheep: I haven't used ubuntu for more than a year and came back to it just now and get all this, lol [05:33] rp64, try running the update manager to get the updates [05:33] RP64: you could try maverick 10.10 - thats what i use [05:33] WilGil: I have not tried hibernate yet, but suspend only works half the time and when it does work it takes awhile for the logon screen to popup. This is a very fast computer. Hardware speed should not be the problem. [05:33] RP64: yes your rigth... but i was listening this afternoon no proeblems at all [05:33] sounds a bot weird [05:33] mike_sr: that's what im trying, thing is it wont let me login to my ubuntu anyways that's the whole proble, because it blackscreens upon login, and now im on livecd trying to chroot update it and gives me weird errors when i try [05:33] once u do that, u should be able to use sudo [05:33] like if the volume is to high === ph1 is now known as ph2 [05:34] lauratika: is the volume high? did you check? [05:34] check alsamixer nothings === ph2 is now known as ph5 [05:34] rp64, did u try reinstalling it?? [05:34] Max229, are you using any propritary drivers [05:34] mike_sr: no i think i might have to which'll suck [05:34] restart pulseaudio via killall and still no changes [05:34] WilGil: Yes, but only for video [05:34] yeah [05:35] rp64, if u have anything saved on it that u wana keep, save it on an external, or a disc [05:35] mike_sr: nope got nothing havent been able to use it at all since i installed it 3 days ago lol [05:35] Max229, Are you comfortable with navigating your bios? [05:35] mike_sr: mostly using Vista which I hate I mean who likes vista??? or windows at all , it's just bad [05:36] WilGil: I can do most things with it, yes [05:36] mike_sr: but I do applaud bill gates on his tactics of earning lots of cash [05:36] rp64, as soon as it reboots, after the install, run the update manager under system/administration [05:36] mike_sr: Well that's assuming that I can login at all right [05:37] rp64, may i pm u? [05:37] mike_sr: yea why not [05:38] Max229, many of the ones that i have worked with have a power managment setting. You may want to google the options given in your bios and Ubuntu and be sure that you are using the optimal settings. [05:38] Hey All, I've Installed a new sounc Card Create BLaster, problem is volume is very dim on headphones, anyway i can increase it. [05:39] Alright. I will play with it and see what happens. Thanks. [05:39] Max229, some just have something like suspend to ram disable or enable and some give you different leves to choose S1, S3 === hasan is now known as Guest3098 [05:40] Hey All, I've Installed a new sound Card Creative BLaster, problem is volume is very dim on headphones, anyway i can increase it. it's already at max, and it's soft === Guest3098 is now known as truefx [05:42] any1 here ? [05:42] yeh i am [05:42] i had this problem once before... [05:42] cant remember how to fix it [05:42] lol [05:42] sorry man [05:42] no probs [05:42] but just be me saying that, some lazy tech guy is gonna wanna help you ... so i have been usefull [05:42] A_J: run alsamixer make sure Headphones are turned up [05:43] see [05:43] hahaha [05:43] hah [05:43] rofl [05:43] IdleOne: alsamixer is a ? [05:43] A_J: command you run in your terminal [05:44] okie doin it now [05:44] awesome! [05:44] A_J: 2) mixer panel for alsa [05:44] A_J: you use the arrow keys to move around [05:44] A_J: and 'm' to (un)mute tracks [05:44] ActionParsnip: Hey you here [05:44] what should i do now [05:44] depends, what have you done? [05:45] nothing yet [05:45] RP64: got any further? [05:45] esheep: not at all, lol, i googled this error and most of it is for red hat stuff that doesn't make sense to me, and for ubuntu it's people with completely diferent problems and none of them solved it [05:45] A_J: ok with the left/right arrow keys move to the headphones line (should turn red) then up/down to adjust the volume. [05:46] they are 6 colums IdleOne move all to red ? [05:46] you have six columns labeled Headphones? [05:46] A_J: F6 to change devices.. make sure you've selected the one for your headphones [05:47] RP64: yeah its like that sometimes - i would try a copy of 10.10 and see if that works [05:47] esheep: are you on 10.10 right now [05:47] yeah [05:47] soreau: no headphones there [05:47] and i have a 9500 gt card [05:47] esheep: did you try 11.04 what'd you think between the two as in comparison? and also do you think if I used 10.10 it'd be less secure/ usefull ? [05:47] RP64: no issues at all [05:47] esheep: well I mean besides the fact that 11.04 is useless for me at this point lol [05:47] esheep: 10.10 is the longterm release right ? [05:48] IdleOne: can you have a look via vnc ? [05:48] A_J: How/where do you connect your headphones? [05:48] RP64: ive tried 11.04 on a few laptops and quite frankly hated it [05:48] into the sound card soreau [05:48] A_J: Make sure you're using an output appropriate for headphones and not line out [05:49] RP64: always issues with 11.04 [05:49] A_J: soreau can probably be of more help then I could. Also learn to trust yourself and not allow total irc strangers access to your machine :) [05:49] ok ty IdleOne [05:49] soreau: it's a 5.1 card. so i put it in the green jack [05:49] A_J: Yes, I would not recommend remote access between strangers under any circumstances [05:49] how do i install themes from http://xfce-look.org ? [05:49] RP64: 10.10 is not LTS, 10.04 is though [05:50] esheep: Oh, so you're saying all my probs im having are possibly due to 11.04 being too buggy hmm [05:50] esheep: so 10.10 is perfectly safe to use right its not like running a version from 4 years ago or something [05:51] A_J: The green output is typically the main output.. so make sure to turn up the master and pcm volumes in alsamixer [05:51] RP64: its possible but cant be too sure [05:51] RP64: 10.10 is fine to use [05:51] soreau: http://i27.lulzimg.com/6ff26c206c.png [05:51] Hello, I am having trouble burning an ISO to a USB disk [05:52] When I use that start up disk creator and choose the .iso I have, nothing happens [05:52] Cojo1, whats the ISO? [05:52] A_J: Does F6 show more than one card? [05:52] esheep: haha, nice . So its sort of like 11.04 is ubuntu's vista, and 11.10 will be their windows7 [05:52] RP64: you could even try a recent beta of 11.10 - who knows you're problem might not arise with that new one... [05:53] @urlin2u the .iso is of openSUSE 11.4 [05:53] two soreau [05:53] you need to burn the CD. [05:53] how do i install themes from http://xfce-look.org ? [05:53] nvidia and Ca0150 [05:53] Cojo1, the disv creator mainly does ubuntu loading, try unetbootin. [05:53] Morning! [05:53] Ok, I would burn a disk but my optical drive does not work with ubuntu :( [05:54] RP64: remember LTS versions should be "rock solid" the rest is really testing - although generally stable and fine [05:54] url, i have once tried that unetbootin, it don't work, so it is only CD. [05:55] esheep: wait , 11.10 is a long term release too? [05:55] LTS? [05:55] Cojo1, http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-suse-flash-drive-install/ [05:55] soreau: well ? [05:55] no, it is 12.04 [05:55] Hello. [05:55] RP64: no, next one is 12.04 [05:55] A_J: Try all the output jacks on the card and test the headphones with a known working audio device [05:56] Cojo1, sorry I didn't notice that this was for a full install. [05:56] it works fine with speakers soreau just not with headphones [05:56] A_J: Your speakers may have a built-in amplifier.. [05:56] esheep: So what's LTS mean? [05:56] ! lts | RP64 [05:56] RP64: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [05:57] yes they do soreau [05:57] @Urlin it also requires me to burn a disk. If I could fix my optical drive I could burn a DVD, that would be great. It's a bluray combodrive though... IDK where to get drivers that will work with it [05:57] esheep: ohright, yea... duh [05:57] A_J: How many outputs do you have on the card and what colors are they? [05:58] RP64: i assume its a laptop you are using? [05:58] esheep: OK I'll try 10.10 or 10.04 but if the next release is 10.10 then wouldn't that mean I just have to wait a couple of weeks for it to be released? [05:58] i mean 11.10 [05:58] for next releasename [05:59] esheep: yeah its a laptop but a desktop replacement laptop qosmio gaming pc [05:59] Does anyone have any ideahow I might be able to fix my optical drive? When I try to burn a disc it does the checksum and everything but once the actual burning is about to start i get an error [05:59] esheep: so you cant carry it ANYWHERE its like 30 pounds [05:59] Cojo1, it appears to be kinda tricky, I put it on a disc as well when I was trying it out, this is a thumb install but requires a disc as well. http://www.ehow.com/how_6871881_install-suse-flash-drive.html [05:59] soreau: sorry dced [05:59] If I could make a disk I wouldn't need to use my USB drive! [06:00] @ Urlin does your knowledge extend to magical healing powers of my optical drive? [06:00] Quick, noobish question: How do you set up ssh? I have read several articles on this, but I keep getting an error which says "No route to host". [06:00] RP64: ah its a toshiba jobby is it? === IMan is now known as Guest95673 === joshua is now known as Guest74778 [06:01] esheep: lol well it's their top of the line gaming PC line and its the first one they ever released in 2008 , so they were really making it to compete with all the alienware so if u meant jobby asin crappy then this'd be the exception if they are known for that (i dont even know) [06:01] Cojo1, no but you may have no choice in finding a way to do it, say like using another computer to use a disc, and load the thumb. [06:01] So brutal.... [06:01] What's the terminal command to display your optical drive info? [06:02] Cojo1, my magical powers are being able to deal with smug patronizing responses. [06:02] RP64: not sure if you have looked at this but read this --> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/BlankScreen [06:04] esheep: Oh nice, thanks for that esheep im checking it out [06:04] RP64: gotta go - good luck with that! [06:04] esheep: OK thx man cya [06:05] ??? === obi is now known as Guest41703 [06:05] @urlin Was I being patronizing? I really did not mean to be offensive if it came off that way, just playing around [06:06] soreau: herE ? [06:07] nope [06:07] A_J: Try all outputs on the card and verify the headphones work with another known working audio device [06:08] how do i change xfce theme? [06:09] soreau: i upped the tabs, the sound is cracking [06:09] Where can I find what type of optical drive I have? [06:09] ! sound | A_J [06:09] A_J: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.

[06:19] yes [06:20] and the password is correct and the command completes [06:20] it just hangs for 60 seconds [06:20] brombomb: are you using ldap or something like that? [06:21] nope...

[06:31] I run any sudo command (before sudo vim /etc/hosts) [06:31] I hit enter [06:31] wait 60 seconds [06:31] then vim opens up [06:31] At what point do you enter your password? [06:31] immediatly [06:32] That's pretty strange if you ask me.. [06:32] #sexo [06:32] Looking for advice on why my devices are being archives when they connect to my system...so far I've determined p7zip is being run by init when a device connects, I did a quick man init, and have so far not found any reference being made to p7zip in my /etc/init scripts directory. I'm running Ubuntu 11.04. [06:32] brombomb: Is this through ssh or what? [06:33] ssh, it's a headless box [06:33] brombomb: Have you been doing any hostname fiddling recently? (around when this started) [06:33] Yes, when did this start? (did it ever work?) [06:34] brombomb: If you've removed the 127.0.0.1 [myhostname] line from /etc/hosts, sudo will take forever (it's trying to look up the hostname and the N second delay is it finally timing out) [06:34] It was working great until a week ago [06:35] brombomb: What did you do that broke it? [06:35] haven't touched it [06:35] I noticed it was slow [06:36] so I went to install htop and found it to be slower than expected [06:36] ran htop and the server is practically sleeping (1% processer, 200MB / 2GB RAM) [06:36] Brombomb: tried a different dns? [06:37] this is a local network server [06:37] brombomb: Alright, if you don't mind, please pastebin the output of: cat /etc/hosts /etc/hostname [06:37] I'm sshing from my laptop to the box 10feet away over wireless [06:37] Brombomb: so its slow serving clients on lan too? [06:38] hi all [06:38] Hi theTwiz [06:38] Hello? [06:38] Hi lorddelta [06:38] http://pastebin.com/1kaBD72Y [06:38] yup [06:39] Anyone know much about init/system events? Trying to figure out why/who/what is telling init to archive devices using 7zip when they attach to the system.... [06:39] hm [06:40] Wouldn't having 127.0.0.1 defined twice cause problems? [06:40] brombomb: What's the IP on that machine? I have a feeling it isn't 192.168.0.107 anymore. [06:40] soreau: shouldnt do. Not sure about resolving hostname to [06:41] Not 127.0.0.1 [06:41] im trying to setup two identical hdds in raid 0, but mdadm keeps returning "/dev/sdc1 is not suitable for this array." when i fdisk -l i can see the two identical hdds have differing numbers of heads and cylinders, even thought they should be the same. is there a guide i can follow to make sure i have fully formatted these drives? [06:41] Flannel: I think thats it [06:41] brombomb: Don't guess, check ifconfig [06:41] inet addr:192.168.0.129 [06:42] brombomb: Well, that's not it. That line should be a localhost IP, not your current IP. [06:42] brombomb: try commenting the entry to resolve your hostname to its lan ip and make it resolve to 127.0.0.1 [06:42] So, yeah, that is the issue, but changing it to 129 isn't the fix, changing it to 127.0.0.1 is :) [06:43] * soreau doesn't understand /etc/hosts file at all [06:43] all right [06:43] I've setup fairly complicated servers including my own and never really had to mess with it [06:43] working super snappy now! [06:44] soreau: its the first call for name to ip resolution ;) [06:44] thanks Flannel and ActionParsnip [06:44] brombomb: No problem. [06:44] ActionParsnip: Kinda like internal dns? [06:44] brombomb: local comms were going onto the la [06:44] Lan [06:45] brombomb: they are now local so take zero time [06:45] soreau: exactly. [06:45] makes sense [06:46] ActionParsnip: What edits it automatically? (because mine is apparently correctly populated even though I've never touched it) [06:46] * tonyyarusso notes that you CAN make DNS lookups happen BEFORE hostfile lookups [06:46] soreau: i have a tonne of entries in mine to make ad sites like doubleclick resolve to 127.0.0.1 and as i don't run a web server they fail to load :-) [06:47] huh [06:47] Soreau: i believe the installer sets it up initially [06:47] If I installed Windows on a separate partition, would I be able to virtualize my Ubuntu install "as is" [06:47] Hey guys. Anyone here know how to get Ubuntu to recognize a dvd drive? [06:47] ActionParsnip: Mmm www.facebook.com 127.0.0.1 yay ultimate adblocker :P [06:48] Guest74778: Normally you woudn't have to do anything. So, your question is actually how to make it recognize YOUR DVD drive, which apparently doesn't work properly. [06:48] (in the hosts file that is) [06:48] stevecam: Potentially.. but you could have several problems to work out [06:48] lorddelta's productivity just increased 600%. [06:48] soreau, a breif example? [06:48] Soreau: pages with ads in usually fail to load as the browser trys to get data from localhost which fails, as it doesnt exist [06:49] Yeah, that's what I meant. [06:49] stevecam: First you'd have to tell the filesystem to load correctly in /etc/fstab and mtab [06:49] lorddelta: exactly [06:49] Well, that's understandable [06:49] How do I do that? [06:49] <--- Very new to linux. [06:49] how can i add a custom command to the launcher in unity and set it to run on login? [06:50] Guest74778: It should already be recognized if it's installed correctly and the bios 'sees' it [06:50] Guest74778: Often the most productive first step is to Google with "Ubuntu ModelNumberOfDrive" or "Linux ModelNumberOfDrive" to see if there are any forum posts or wiki pages that refer to your specific hardware. What model is it? [06:50] Soreau: you can even add an entry where www.google.com goes to a totally different IP. A great April fool joke [06:50] how can i get my web cam that is an ezonics to work with this asus eeepc anyone? [06:50] honour: Command to be run as user or root? [06:50] any ideas on whats wrong, trying to install mongodb from their repo's http://dpaste.com/624724/ [06:50] soreau: user [06:50] Hold on, let me get the box. [06:51] Honor: press SuperL and search Dash for: start [06:51] honour: Add it in gnome-session-properties [06:51] acrawford: does it work in cheese? [06:52] hi [06:52] fission6: Seems like you'd need to remove mongodb-clients first [06:52] how can I install thunderbird 7.0.1? [06:52] !newthunderbird [06:52] oh come on ubottu [06:53] alesan: There used to be a wiki page about this...somewhere... [06:53] alesan: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/ === wmd is now known as Guest34834 [06:53] is it possible to add it to the left hand unity launcher thing too? [06:54] soreau, what should I do with that site? [06:54] nick wmd [06:54] ops [06:54] tonyyarusso, I will search [06:54] alesan: Click the big green button that says "Thunderbird Free Download 7.0.1" ? [06:54] soreau, are you giving this kind of advice on #ubuntu? [06:54] alesan: You can just get it from the page soreau mentioned - I just don't remember if that's the "recommended" process right now or not. [06:54] wow [06:55] it is obvious I want to install from a repository and get automated upgrades [06:55] otherwise I would install windows [06:55] no, it is not [06:55] Soreau: http://paste.ubuntu.com/700323/ [06:56] hi [06:56] tonyyarusso: there is a ppa for it [06:56] watever. I installed the correct PPA [06:56] bye [06:56] I'm trying to install Ubuntu on an eeepc and I did follow the instructions - made a bootable usb pen drive with ubuntu and checked boot order in bios [06:57] but it still does not boot from the usb pen [06:57] ActionParsnip: That's very nice but I was wondering what adds /etc/hosts entries automatically.. I don't think it only happens on install [06:57] Soreau: some dark voodoo [06:57] any ideas ob what may be going on? do some usb pens not work? [06:57] Okay guys, this is the burner I have. L12-1312 OEM [06:58] wmnd: At what point does it fail? [06:58] Guest74778: are you having trouble with just the burning functionality, or reading as well? [06:58] Wmnd: did you md5 test the iso you downloaded? [07:00] I have both Ubuntu (11.04) and Windows 7 (64 bit) installed. Windows uses the drive completely fine, but Ubuntu doesn't recognize it at all, for some reason. [07:01] soreau, it simply boots to windows straight away [07:01] ActionParsnip, yes I tested it and the iso is fine [07:01] wmnd: Are you actually telling it to boot from usb? [07:01] Guest74778: is there a product name for this in addition to the number? [07:02] Guest74778: What makes you think it isn't recognized? [07:02] soreau, I hope so I've set the boot order to bootable device, then HD, and also I tried simple reboot and running the installer in the usb pen and order it to reboot from there [07:03] I guess the product name would be Lite-On? [07:03] Guest74778: does it show in: sudo lshw -C drive; sudo lshw -C disk [07:03] So...init handles everything through conf files/scripts, but it looks like I need to learn how to hook into system events... [07:03] soreau, or is there some other way to specify that I want it to boot from usb? [07:03] To figure out who is starting p7zip [07:03] =/ [07:03] Guest74778: that's the brand [07:03] I say it doesn't recognize it because when trying to get vbox running earlier, the dvd drive wasn't an option to load my windows 7 disk from, and upon further inspection, I realized that movies won't play on Ubuntu either. [07:03] Wmnd: how did you put the data on the usb stick? [07:04] http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4829307&CatId=1624 [07:04] Does that help? [07:05] Guest74778: if you run my command, is it in the output? [07:05] wmnd: On most systems you can set the boot order but also optionally hit a key when it boots to manually see and select which options there are to boot from [07:05] ActionParsnip, Universal USB Installer [07:05] soreau, oh... I did not know that, I'm going to google for it [07:05] lorddelta: have a look at your udev-rules too [07:06] Guest74778: When you put a cd in the drive, does it show up in 'Places' or nautilus? [07:06] Wmnd: cool. Try F11 of F12 at boot, may let you select the boot drive [07:07] wmnd: Usually it will tell you what key to hit on the bios splash screen [07:07] Soreau: No. Not in places. i'm not sure what nautilus is. [07:07] ActionParsnip: Is that one command, or two separated at the ; ? [07:07] Guest74778: does it show in: sudo lshw -C drive; sudo lshw -C disk <-- what about this? [07:07] Guest74778: Yeah. Oddly enough, 4 out of 4 Newegg reviewers say it worked out of the box in Ubuntu just fine. [07:07] Guest74778: nautilus is also a terminal command [07:07] Guest74778: run it as I gave it please [07:07] make that 5 [07:08] llutz_: thnx [07:09] It asked for a password, then looked like it was loading, and then returned to the command line, with no output. [07:10] ok rebooting lets see, thanks guys [07:10] Oh, wait. [07:10] I made a typo [07:10] trying again. [07:10] can anyone help me with creating a raid0 array? mdadm keeps returning /dev/sdc1 is not suitable for this array [07:10] Guest74778: did you copy/paste the command? Should show your Hdd at least [07:10] wmnd: Usually if the usb stick is not bootable, it wont show in the list (and wont boot obviously) [07:11] where can i find a list of regular chat servers? [07:11] lanc3r: searchirc.com IIRC [07:11] It showed my external hard drive and my internal hard drives one. [07:11] only* [07:12] It didn't show the Disk drive [07:13] Guest74778: Which version of ubuntu are you using?

[07:18] I'm trying to run Windows 7 in a virtual box while signed into Ubuntu.

[07:22] Guest74778: Does /dev/sr0 exist? (or sr1?) [07:22] Ops can review and improve it [07:22] Guest74778: in bios [07:22] ActionParsnip: He said it works in the win7 install on the same machine [07:22] There is no approve command iirc, they just tell the bot the same, maybe modify it a bit [07:23] No. Neither exists.

[07:24] soreau: don't care what windows does. Some sata drives do [07:24] Well, I say it works. It worked to install Windows 7 from the bios menu.

[09:31] hellofoo: I'd suggest reading about LSB [09:32] Omegakenshin: put it your $HOME and be done with it. Adjust your $PATH by editing your ~/.profile so that you can start it easily [09:32] HI, how to add http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/core.html#adddefaultcharset in Ubuntu installed computer [09:32] masterr [09:32] where do i find it ? [09:32] Omegakenshin: if you downloaded the .tar.bz2 from sublime text, it is not sufficient to just copy that .tar.bz2 to any location, since that is just an archive [09:32] hellofoo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Standard_Base [09:33] is anone gnacktrack user in here? [09:33] Omegakenshin: also, sublimetext can only be evaluated for free, you have to purchase a license to use it [09:33] nope, but what other code editor do you recommend me?? [09:34] Omegakenshin: which language? [09:35] spanish [09:35] programming language, man! [09:35] ROFL... CSS PHP HTML JQUERY [09:35] sorry im kinda sleepy [09:35] kate or gedit should suffice [09:36] those got code hints??

Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion [09:41] ...wikipedia - go [09:41] thanks [09:41] if any one can tell me where to put "AddDefaultCharset utf-8 "? I can not see my Arabic fonts on my webpage, hosted on Ubuntu, apache2 installed. [09:42] sarthor: eh... httpd.conf? [09:42] sudo startx hangs, so i cant even test and see [09:42] hellofoo: don't use sudo [09:42] hii everyone!!! [09:42] hellofoo: you might want to read up on x before testing it. [09:42] :D [09:43] MasterOfDisaster: I put that in httpd.conf but did not worked, and also my httpd.conf have nothing, just an empty file. [09:43] llutz_: without sudo it says X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting. [09:43] I am unable to install PGP addon on Thunderbird [09:43] hellofoo, Perhaps have a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_System if you're interested in a full description. [09:43] req^: couldnt understand much from reading, seems like its something like GUI but thats it. [09:43] Sidewinder1: i am there [09:43] hellofoo: then fix permission but don't use sudo whit "startx" [09:43] :D [09:43] i download the firefox 7 but i dont know what to do after extract the folder [09:44] MasterOfDisaster: my httpd.conf is in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf [09:44] Guys is there a channel for development questions, more specifically c++ ? [09:44] sarthor: /etc/apache2/conf.d/charset [09:44] llutz_: umm, how do you "fix permission" ? [09:44] omegakenshin better stick to official version [09:44] sarthor: see /etc/apache2/conf.d/charset file [09:44] i think 7 is still in beta condition omegakenshin [09:45] hellofoo: it's the base windowing system. Ontop of x you often have other layers, such as gnome, to control graphical things. X takes care of more lower level things, such as resolution [09:45] no, it released. 8 is in beta. [09:45] sarthor: sorry don't know enough about the debian/ubuntu way concerning httpd [09:45] how can I do that?? and no 7 is out now [09:45] -------- [09:45] -------- [09:45] solancer: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:45] req^: i see, so gnome, kde, xfce is built atop X ? [09:45] but in what folder should i copy the firefox folder to install it?? [09:45] arestod: there is ##c++ channel [09:45] hellofoo: yeah [09:45] hellofoo yeah [09:45] ok ok my mistake [09:45] jinx! [09:45] 7.0.1 is official now!!!

Thaaaannkkk Brother. [09:46] try in home with no sucess [09:46] oCean, Yea I found it. Thanks :) [09:46] sarthor: thank oCean :) [09:47] Hello everyone [09:47] Omegakenshin: what ubuntu version are you using? FF7 is in the repo for 11.04 for example [09:47] 11.04 [09:48] oCean: Thankss alot brother, and thanks too all Irc people who helped me alot, You buddies are really doing great ! [09:48] Omegakenshin: in that case you don't need to download it from their site. Just install via software centre [09:48] req^: can i somehow run just X ? (and not gnome) [09:49] hey is there here any channel for windows support? [09:49] hellofoo: if you want a minimal window manager, use fluxbox [09:49] Omegakenshin: i am not ane expert, but here is what i know. there are 3 ways to install, apt-get(or synaptic package manager), get a bin file from mozilla's website for linux and double click to install as you do on winfows and get the source code and compile it and i guess it will be installed. [09:49] thats how you install any softare on ubuntu i guess. [09:49] shubham_rathi, Have you tried #windows or ##windows? [09:50] yaa its empty!!! :P [09:50] hellofoo: plain X doesn't do anything except enabling programs to "draw windows".

For some reason after i mount the NTFS drives in Ubuntu through it's GUI, it doesn't re-mount them after i reboot. Meaning that even the fileshares on the HDD becomes unavailable. How do i make it persistent? [10:06] PsychoX75, put an entry in /etc/fstab to do automount [10:06] MasterOfDisaster: ctrl alt f1 i went into a cli mode with login [10:06] ah... lemme see... (gone reading) [10:09] psychox75 yes same problem with me also!!! [10:11] shubham: I hope that fstab do the trick. Thing is.. i'm used to Unix's CLI. Yesterday my Win7 servers C: had a NTFS-crash. So I decided "what the egg.... lemme switch to Ubuntu" [10:11] didn't expect it to be so annoying to switch between users under GUI. (dont even know how yet...) [10:12] hellofoo: so you were already using X :) [10:12] PsychoX75: to share a ntfs you will need the proper options in the fstab entry also [10:12] MasterOfDisaster: it was like cli tho. how could i switch back ? [10:13] ALT+function keys, from an X display CTRL+ALT+function keys [10:14] i tried ctrel alt f1 f2 ... f12 nothing worked :P i coudltn switch back [10:14] Guys, was the add launcher to desktop feature dropped in 11.10? [10:14] hey [10:14] all [10:14] Eduard: Oneiric/11.10 is not yet released (still beta). Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion [10:17] hello, how to automatical set in system start APM hard drive level to 254? [10:17] i have my init.d script, but this dont running on start, and i don't know why [10:18] hellofoo: try CTRL+ALT+F7 if u're looking for the GUI. [10:20] ok, vlc works... but other players do not [10:21] Uh hi... I just exchanged one of my monitors for a new one [10:21] and it's gone a bit wonky :-/ [10:21] I had a extended desktop setup with the other monitor (I had a 22" and a 19", got another 22") [10:21] What do I actually need to do in regards to X setup and drivers to make this work? [10:21] at the moment they are just cloned. [10:22] Both my monitors were DVI, one of them is now using a DVI->VGA adapter because it's a bit older :-/ [10:27] hey can someone help me with an issue. I removed my ATI drivers, and now when i boot PC i get a black screen, what can i do to make it use some default drivers again? i think i may have corrupted sometrhing? [10:27] Sorry for my clumsyness. Is there any chance that there is a GUI to edit FSTAB? [10:27] Tixos: ouch.. gl on that one. :S [10:28] I lost the window borders! [10:28] really? PsychoX75 i removed them before using software manager, and it booted fine.... i still get a graphically 'mcrpyt login prompt' [10:28] PsychoX75: pysdm, but I would recommend just using a text editor as it is pretty straightforward [10:29] Tixos: ehm... wait a minute. i wasn't being sarcastic. I really meant it. I'm kinda new at Ubuntu too. :S [10:29] PsychoX75, install package ntfs-tools? utils? it was having GUI [10:29] im not new to ubuntu... === ubuntu_ is now known as jared566 [10:29] Jrib: ah.. tx... === silent is now known as Guest52542 [10:29] Tixos; oh sorry then. Well.... I am. [10:29] !fstab | PsychoX75 [10:29] PsychoX75: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [10:29] then why input [10:29] PsychoX75: sudo gedit /etc/fstab [10:29] hi Chheapshot [10:30] :) [10:30] Tixos: Hi [10:30] i sorted my ATI driver issue, i installed 11.5 instead and it was ok [10:30] but, someone recommended 11.4 because of a bug in 11.5, so i removed from software manager, now i get a blackscreen when i login to my encrypted filesystem [10:31] Tixos: nice :D. 11.10 is released soon though [10:31] yea 11.9 was a disaster i hear [10:32] Compiz stopped working after using this command! metacity --replace how can i fix this? [10:32] the software i am running on my GPU, i was recommended 11.4 still by the developer, anyways, how can i reset config for xorg or whatever, so i can boot PC again? lol [10:32] Tixos: U get black screen when prompting for the password for the encryption? [10:32] that screen is displayed fine, but when i hit enter the display dies [10:33] ie, when it loads xorg? [10:33] xserver* [10:34] Syria get compiz fusion-icon, run, and select Reload Window Manager [10:35] Tixos: dont think there is xorg.conf anymore. atleast not by default [10:36] using the GUI, i am able to mount the HDD. Is there any way of 'peeping' what the "/dev/hda" device may be? [10:36] hmm, i dont know what else could have gone wrong? the display should work by default [10:36] check if u have xorg.conf.bak at /etc/X11/ [10:37] PsychoX75: sudo fdisk -l [10:37] Chheapshot: i need a liveCD to do any work right? because of mcrypt? [10:38] ah [10:38] Tixos: cant u login in recovery mode ? [10:38] from grub [10:38] i dont get any option for recovery, i have no GRUB prompt [10:39] Tixos: press esc after bios has loaded [10:39] thanks, ill give it a whirl [10:39] back in 10 [10:40] Hi all, please help me with the license (GPL or LGPL) of Ubuntu+A+M+P :) [10:40] is there any way to tell which bit you have on a disk? I forgot to label 10.0.2 as "32 or 64" . [10:40] on the CD [10:40] farrukhjon, lamp? what is +A+M+P [10:41] bazhang: yes LAMP [10:41] PsychoX75: hi [10:41] farrukhjon, and what is your exact question? #gpl seems to exist [10:41] hi hellofoo [10:41] Also, how much longer does 10.04 have anyway? [10:41] PsychoX75: PM ? [10:41] about 2 years? [10:42] oh sure [10:42] Name141: at least [10:42] sweet. It'll make it to the alien take over next year then. [10:43] bazhang: Can I use this product (LAMP) in my server and my website deals with commercial content (commercial app-s services) without any problem with the producer payments to vendors (canonical. oracle etc) [10:43] farrukhjon: can you be more precise? [10:44] Hello ! :-) [10:44] farrukhjon: the website sells.... software and services? [10:46] StevenR: Yes, that such a situation, if I want to distribute my software in boxes with mysql (for example), I must obtain a commercial license, but if you give via the web, how to be ? [10:46] farrukhjon, if its free you can use LAMP, if you will get cash from customers, you will need license at least for MySQL [10:47] zaxonspox: even if it is a web - application? [10:48] farrukhjon: where does it say that you need a commercial license to use mysql to sell software? Or do you mean distributing mysql for commercial gain? [10:48] farrukhjon, webapp is like local app - its and program with license [10:48] PsychoX75, I know you asked a while ago, but use gksudo to run gui apps. rather than sudo, if you need root priv.s. [10:49] Hey guys, I have a quick question... With the release of GNOME 3.2 came the quick preview option for image/video/whatever files and it hasn't been packaed in Ubuntu 11.10 yet. I was wondering since it's the hard freeze, will it ever be implemented ? [10:49] StevenR: mysql distribution with my application that uses mysql [10:51] the i686 versions are the 32bit right? [10:51] Anyone, anyone ? [10:51] Name141: yes, afaik. [10:51] Name141: yes [10:52] ah. Alright. I installed it on a virtual machine since I didn't label it on the CD [10:52] farrukhjon: ok. can you be more precise (very very precise) about what you want to do? [10:52] Name141: why do u use 10.0.2 install disc? [10:53] !bot [10:53] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [10:53] you mean 10.04.2 ? [10:53] Oh god, sorry, I didn't I had to ask questions about Oneiric in #ubuntu+1 [10:54] that would make more sense [10:55] dr_willis: yeah, 10.04.2 [10:55] I'm not sure why there is a 10.04.3 already. There's only about 200 MBs of updates. [10:56] Chheapshot: Cause I want the LTS to replace XP tomorrow. [10:56] when I bother with replacing it. [10:56] Name141: Yeah just was wondering why not use the 10.04.3 :D [10:56] Name141, I prefer LTS, as well. [10:57] never noticed there was a 10.04.3 [10:57] Sidewinder1: I just wanted a more up to date OS, since the other one is the 'gaming machine' now. , Chheapshot: cause it's 600+ MBs and It's almost 6 AM (when my unlimited hours stop) [10:58] StevenR: I create a project to automate the school, and my project is working on LAMP from this maybe I'll get fees and commissions. Do I need to get with the vendors of these products commercial licenses. [10:58] every 6 mo ro so they do a point release perhaps? [10:58] * Name141 sighs as hughesnet FAP [11:00] farrukhjon: depends what software you're including, and how precisely you include it. Lets say you include some GPL code. You can charge money for doing so. But you need to obey the rest of the license too, and include the source (or provide access to it) [11:02] farrukhjon, I know that there is some FOSS that includes mysql, so I doubt that you should have any concern; that being said, I'm certainly not an attorney, nor do I play one on TV. :D [11:03] umm [11:03] hi [11:05] i get this error when trying to install samba4 : samba.provision.InvalidNetbiosName: The name ''MOINS-ASPIRE-5734Z'' is not a valid NetBIOS name. why is this the case? [11:05] the machine namei s too long [11:05] i think the limit is 15 chars [11:05] farrukhjon: also, beware of any linking rights. You're gonna have to list the software you're going to include, find out it's license, and then once you have a list of licenses, work out how to comply with those. Like if you link commercial software against the QT toolkit, you need a commercial license from Trolltech. [11:05] Uatec: what should i do? [11:05] nmvictor, change the hostname of your machine to something shorter [11:05] and try again [11:06] i believe the 'host' command will let you do that [11:06] but it's not permanent i don't think [11:06] anybody else know? [11:06] is it safe to edit /etc/hostname or is their a way that wont break my configs? [11:06] My clients are schools and parents of schoolboys who pay me for what I give them a platform (site) from which they receive information about their children, and they agreed to pay for it, the question is: is it commerce, and if it is commercial whether I should share with canonocal or oracle? [11:06] Uatec: see my message above please [11:07] Hi [11:07] farrukhjon: so... you're providing a web service... do they recieve a copy of the software? do they just receive an account to view information through the site you've provided? [11:08] farrukhjon, yes, it is commerce, cant you use mSQL ie? [11:08] nmvictor: edit /etc/hostname [11:08] for permanent chance [11:10] zaxonspox: use as database server [11:10] nyuszika7h [11:10] Whoops [11:10] Wrong Window [11:11] StevenR: they do not receive a copy of something, they just use of servies of commercial site [11:11] farrukhjon: in that case, I don't think you need to pay any license fees. [11:12] farrukhjon: it seems you're getting more offtopic here. [11:12] farrukhjon: I'd check the license for MySQL though. apache, and the most of ubuntu should be fine (GPL and LGPL software is fine for your use-case) [11:12] farrukhjon, where are you from? [11:13] farrukhjon: /j #gpl [11:13] Uatec, why does that matter [11:13] bah === danielcg25 is now known as Danielcg25 [11:13] farrukhjon: #gnu is a decent place for licensing Qs too. [11:13] not really, just interested in the name [11:14] MichealH: yee? [11:14] yes?* [11:14] oh [11:14] Uatec: afganistan [11:14] :) [11:14] farrukhjon, I agree with StevenR Not only that, if a huge corp. thinks that you have minutely crossed the line, into a gray area, their usual response is a "Cease and Desist Order."

[11:16] which version of need for speed? [11:16] farrukhjon, it's a person :) [11:16] pamwe_chete: it would be better to ask in #winehq [11:16] farrukhjon: Uatec, please take social chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [11:17] !appdb | pamwe_chete [11:17] pamwe_chete: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [11:17] pamewe chete means "together forward" it was the name of the rhodesian special forces during the rhodesian bush war [11:17] interesting [11:18] Uatec: what's on [11:18] Hello.

Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion [11:22] hauteville, #ubuntu+1 please [11:22] bazhang: I asked about specific issues LAMP [11:24] Hi I'm wanting to get ubuntu 10.10 because I've heard it's better than 10.04, and 11.04 just doesn't work for me because it doesnt detect my nvidia drivers and ive tried all possible workarounds for 2 days straight [11:25] however when im on the ubuntu website it only provides 10.04 and 11.04 so is there no way to get 10.10 ? [11:25] anyone know about this? ? [11:25] !10.10 | RP64 [11:25] RP64: Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) was the thirteenth release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.10/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1010 [11:26] auronandace: wow thanks so much, i didn't know they kept all the releases online , how did you know to find that link do they not list it and you are just supposed to know that? [11:26] RP64: they encourage using either the latest release or the latest LTS [11:27] auronandace: hey by the way, I have a intel centrino 2 processor but it's 64 bit, and it's saying to use 32 bit release for intel processors, but 64bit for AMD, but I'm not using AMD what should I make of this? [11:28] RP64, I'm assuming you enabled Restricted Drivers? As nvidia seems to support linux much better than, for instance ATI. [11:28] RP64: amd64 is for all 64bit processor (whether intel or amd) [11:28] Sidewinder1: don't even get started, lol... i seriously spent 9 hours 2 days ago discussing and testing workarounsd with a liveCD boot and entering codes, NOTHING works even things that are supposed to [11:29] sidewinder1: it just goes to black screen on login, no offense tho thx for trying [11:29] how to partprobe/kpartx all extended partitions on loop? http://dpaste.com/624857/ [11:29] RP64: amd64 just happens to be the name of the 64 bit arch: x86_64 [11:29] i have only three primary and one extended [11:29] but i need all extended [11:29] auronandace: Oh thanks i didn't know that, so i should still download the 64 bit , OK thx alot [11:29] RP64: what is saying use 32 for intel? Intel 64bit cpus are using the amd 64 bit extensions... [11:29] RP64: most of the time 32bit is reccomended. because it shoud work reguardless of what you have. [11:29] RP64: have u tried 11.10? [11:30] RP64: no worries :) [11:30] Chheapshot: no i don't want to try a test version its not my thing to do that i mean i need some reliability [11:30] chheapshot: and im not good enough to rely on entering lots of code to fix things lol [11:30] I did find the 11.10 beta worked better for my amd and nvidia systems. :) Which is a good sign for the future releases. [11:30] RP64: U could atleast test the livecd of it? It releases soon anyway [11:30] RP64, Yes, and I apologize, I assumed that you tried that but you'd be surprised how many times something simple like that solves the problem. When it doesn't, you're right, it can be extremely frustrating. [11:31] Chheapshot: in that case it is better to wait till release [11:31] chheapshot: i guess i could but i again just dont like testing out betas i mean i just dont see any reason to when stable ones are out [11:31] where is the behaviour of the new scrollbar documented ? [11:31] larie: Please explain your end goal. One of those is actually a partition within a partition, which is almost certainly not what you intended. [11:32] sidewinder1: yea no problem you had no way to know what id tried or not lol [11:32] Jordan_U: i want to mount every partition from the image [11:32] larie: And I don't mean in the normal sense of logical partitions within extended. It's a primary partition containing a partition table and another primary partition. [11:32] Jordan_U: what? [11:32] RP64, Well, you did give me a clue with the "9 hours..." :D [11:33] larie: That is how I interpret "loop0p4p1". [11:33] Jordan_U: the partition table is always at the beginning of a disk [11:33] Jordan_U: so i want loop0p4p2 and loop0p4p3 too [11:34] auronandace: You can have nested partition tables, it's just not a sane configuration. [11:34] Jordan_U: i do not have nested pt [11:34] Jordan_U: oh, thanks for the info [11:34] auronandace: You're welcome. [11:34] Jordan_U: look at my paste there is sfdisk dump [11:35] larie: Can you pastebin the output of "sfdisk -d /dev/loop0p4" to confirm? [11:36] Jordan_U: paste from my first message http://dpaste.com/624857/ [11:37] larie: That doesn't contain the output of "sudo sfdisk -d /dev/loop0p4".

The thing is. I want to put it in FSTAB because i need to share the HDD upon starting. And i need to map some programs to folders on it. And right now, each time Ubuntu reboots, it wont load the drive, meaning the programs wont work either. [12:24] sivik, maybe I should dig in some other direction, like compare my curreny config with live cd config? [12:24] if only I knew what to compare.. [12:25] PsychoX75, If you're trying to Auto-mount, perhaps you could try mounting the drive manually; then in terminal type sudo update -grub. That might work, but I'm not absolutely certain, it's worth a try. [12:25] <--- a bit new. [12:25] what is grub? [12:26] "sudo update -grub" [12:26] does it 'save' the current mounts? [12:26] hey , when will ubuntu 11.10 release [12:26] is that how is should understand it? [12:26] 13 october [12:27] 13 huh, not a nice number in europe culture [12:27] western* [12:27] can someone tell me what package has glib2 and glib2 development files [12:27] HA. especially when it is on a friday [12:27] i'm actually logged in as ROOT under Ubuntu for now. [12:27] should i still use 'sudo'? or just type 'update -grub' ? [12:27] asdjaputra3, Could you, perhaps help PsychoX75 , I tried but am not certain of my advice? [12:28] Sidewinder1: huh? [12:28] ^ [12:28] asdjaputra: msg? [12:28] I peeped with "mount" command how a disk was mounted through GUI. And found out the following: /dev/sdb1 on /media/DaBoss type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow other,blksize=4096,default_permissions) [12:29] asdjaputra3, He/she's trying to automount an external NTFS HD. [12:29] I'm editing the FSTAB file to auto-mount that hard drive upon starting. [12:29] does anyone know where firefox seaches for addons. i added the libflashplayer.so once and forgot where the fodler was.. [12:30] user82, Why not just click on "add-ons", and click "search for updates"? [12:30] PsychoX75: no problem [12:30] ha..found it! about:config and about:plugins wirked [12:30] :D [12:33] anybody know a good repo with fresh intel drivers for 11.04? [12:35] ive just installed ubuntu server... and ive setup static ip but im getting a message when i restart my network failed to bring up virbr0 which is my network adapater... [12:35] hoodoos, I would suspect that the default repos that come with 11.04 would be the best ones, for that version. [12:35] i can ping my ip i set tho so thats 1 step closer heh [12:36] Sidewinder1, well, my problem is that livecd works but installed won't ( [12:36] Sidewinder1, i have no idea how to debug why it goes black screen after installation and works fine in live cd [12:37] hi , everytime i update my system , there is more file in /boot dir , can somebody explain ,why? [12:37] trying this one ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa [12:37] chroot, kernal updates? [12:38] hoodoos, Difficult to do from black screen but it sounds like a "Restricted Drivers" issue; it's a stumper that Live CD is OK, bit not the install. [12:38] freedom07, update-managet and sudo apt-get upgrade [12:38] but, even. [12:40] hi, im trying to change the device that grub is installed on. cant find anything online. does anyone know how to do this? [12:40] han_, Please be a little more specific. [12:41] freedom07, i think so , it is kernal updates [12:41] han_, Perhaps sudo update -grub might work. [12:42] hi, Sidewinder1 , can you told me the reason? [12:42] Sidewinder1, installed some stuff from that egde repo, let's see if it helps :) [12:42] chroot, The reason for what? [12:42] sidewinder1, i have 3 hdds, but my asus bios lets me boot only from one of them..in the ubuntu installation i installed grub on sda1 but i can only boot from sdb..so when i boot my pc, i have to pick sda1 manually. that's why i want to reinstall grub on sda1 so that grub loads automatically [12:43] when i update my sys , there are more files in /boot dir [12:44] han_, is your machine old? [12:44] ive just installed ubuntu server... and ive setup static ip but im getting a message when i restart my network failed to bring up virbr0 which is my network adapater... [12:44] chroot, not really..core2duo 9550 [12:44] l3bu, virbr0 sounds like kvm, not a real network adapter [12:44] o [12:44] intel [12:44] cpu [12:45] chroot, + ASUS p5q deluxe.. [12:45] yup [12:45] han_, Grub is most definitely not my specialty; but you might try reinstalling to sdb1 or 2 or whatever; after backing everything up, of course. [12:46] Sidewinder1, yea that's plan b..i actually hoped there was a solution that wouldn't involve reinstalling ubuntu [12:47] han_, There probably is; it's just that I am not certain the exact way... sorry.. :-( [12:47] han_, i got a way , if you install ubuntu server , it will let you chose which place you want to install grub , maybe , it will works [12:48] you don't need to re-isntall or use server [12:48] the desktop installer allows you to select where to install grub [12:48] ikonia, how [12:48] ikonia, Many thanks! [12:48] witch step of the way [12:48] what ? [12:49] ikonia, i mean when you install ubuntu , when the installer let you chose ? [12:49] chroot: it asks you to accept the default or change it [12:50] but you still don't need to re-install [12:50] just re-install grub from either your running machine, or from a livecd session === waremperor is now known as kycka- [12:50] i will try [12:50] thx [12:51] hi [12:51] ikonia, That's why I thanked you; I knew you'd know the proper procedure to accomplish, as I wasn't 100% sure. :D [12:52] ikonia, but when i install ubuntu desktop , it did't ask me ? [12:53] is it a text install [12:53] ? [12:53] but when i install server , it is appears, [12:53] unless this option has magically been removed in 11.04 [12:53] chroot: no [12:54] i use ubuntu 11.04 [12:54] what is yours [12:54] ikonia, chroot : as a matter of fact, I think the option has been removed from the installer in natty [12:54] glebihan: really, had sad and dissapointing [12:54] still doesn't mean you need to re-install, just re-apply grub from your current install [12:55] Anyone know could arm version of Ubuntu run Firefox? [12:55] how to re_appy ? [12:55] suggesting someone re-install to apply grub to a different hard disk is crazy, telling someone to use the server version to do so is even more crazy [12:56] ikonia, I agree with you. As far as I know, only the alternate CD still has this option [12:56] sorry [12:56] glebihan, alternate cd means? [12:56] desktop and server ? [12:57] chroot, http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download [12:57] chroot, it's a text-based installer with more options than the default ont [12:57] s/ont/one [12:58] oh, i got it , thank u very much === hugo is now known as Guest82461 [12:59] glebihan, i have a question? [12:59] ive just installed ubuntu server... and ive setup static ip but im getting a message when i restart my network failed to bring up virbr0 which is my network adapater... i am running through a switch with just a modem [12:59] ive set the gateway settings the same as the windows one [12:59] chroot, go ahead [12:59] that short bongo drum roll sound that used to denote error, or something unavailable is what I heard at log in screen. strange choice of default log in sound === Guest82461 is now known as arestod [13:00] eveytime when i update my system , there is more files in dir /boot [13:00] hi [13:00] what is going on after that [13:00] l3bu, agai, virbr0 is not your network device. Can you pastebin your config please. [13:00] chroot, that's because old kernel version are not removed when you install new ones [13:00] hi i have got problem with minecraft on ubuntu:/ So i have got radeon(ati) driver [13:00] Does anyone know what could cause a program to launch in workspace 2 instead of 1 ? [13:01] have somebody trick for my problem? [13:01] and is it a good idea to remove the old ones [13:01] chroot, you can remove some of them manually if you want to, I'd recommend always keeping at least 2 kernels installed [13:02] glebihan, manually revome means delete the file you don't want in /boot [13:02] ? [13:02] chroot, no [13:02] chroot, uninstall from package manager or via apt-get [13:02] glebihan, or edit grub [13:03] glebihan, sudo apt-get remove kernelversion? [13:03] chroot, yes [13:03] chroot: dpkg -l linux-image-[23]* | awk '/^ii/{print $2}' | grep -v $(uname -r) | xargs sudo apt-get remove [13:03] windows has that flowery entering paradise boot up sound, ubuntu chooses the error message bongo drum roll as default log in window sound [13:04] Hello, I am trying to use a program called ssh-keygen, but there is no such program and cannot find it in apt either. Where do i find this program? [13:04] l3bu: Are you running some sort of virtualmachine? [13:04] * Seveas ♥ shell oneliners :) [13:04] glebihan, i got it . [13:05] diverdude, it's part of openssh-client, which is installed by defaulty [13:05] hello great people of ubuntu, i have a 100mb update to make on my toodamnslow internet connection, i was wondering what the hell is QT4 ? [13:05] Seveas, love it too, except that you forgot some quotes [13:05] glebihan, ehh, no [13:05] it works :) [13:06] Seveas, yes you did, the correct command is dpkg -l "linux-image-[23]*" | awk '/^ii/{print $2}' | grep -v $(uname -r) | xargs sudo apt-get remove [13:06] Seveas, otherwise the linux-image-[23]* argument is interpreted by the shell which tries to find a file matching that pattern [13:07] we're probably just supposed to respond with subliminal FUD and log in, sorry I noticed === donkey is now known as doc-donkey [13:09] hey, anyone using HP DV* laptop wake up from hibernate(acpi wakeup) sucessfully with ubuntu? [13:10] hi, dose ubuntu has firewalls [13:10] akem: after wakeup, your connection will probably be lost, if that is the issue [13:10] Does anyone know what could cause a program to launch in workspace 2 instead of 1 ? [13:11] chroot: iptables [13:11] MonkeyDust, no the issue is no wake up at all, i gotta restart it manually. [13:11] arestod: i thought compiz had some plugin to do that.. [13:11] chroot: iptables, shorewall [13:11] MonkeyDust, iptables , what is that supose to mean [13:11] the feature is maybe not functionnal on Linux i don't know, tried several times with different tutorials. [13:11] !iptables| chroot [13:11] chroot: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist. [13:12] !ufw [13:12] woop no luck [13:12] :( [13:12] ok [13:13] dr_willis, That might be the case, but I haven't specified any settings for that. The only program that opens in workspace 2 instead of one is netbeans [13:13] everything else is working smoothly so i can't complain that much. [13:13] chroot, https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/firewall.html [13:13] ok ,arestod [13:13] chroot, THere is a firewall but it's disabled by default [13:14] why is ufw disable by default? [13:14] chroot, There are also GUI options. It's all there on the page I linked [13:14] Chheapshot: what default settings should it have? no services are enabled by default. so nothing is listening. [13:14] Chheapshot, I can't say [13:14] Chheapshot: it's enabled, just with open rules [13:14] chroot: "why" is a philosophical question ;) [13:15] Chheapshot, Most people have a firewall in their router in any case [13:15] needs some help - my monitor says doesn't suport but works when i {ctrl}+{alt}{f2} for the term [13:15] dr_willis: your answer made the most sense :D [13:15] now to think of it :D [13:15] unless you put your linux box in the DMZ on teh router. :) like i did by mistake.. had 6000+ attempts on ssh in 2 days.. [13:15] MonkeyDust, how to say that? [13:16] Chheapshot: linux handles firewalls from teh opposite way windows does. I guess you can say. [13:16] or at least in a very differnt way. :) [13:16] chroot: how to say what exactly? [13:16] wundows blocks apps.. linux blocks ports.. [13:16] windows is often more about bloking things from going out.. linux, from getting in. [13:17] well. i have to run. bbl === linlig is now known as jnhy [13:17] needs some help 10.04 no gui [13:17] MonkeyDust, you say 'why" is a philosophical word , and explain the reason [13:17] you guys are getting totally ot :D [13:18] ive just installed ubuntu server, setup my static ip..... now ive got it connected to the switch but i still cant ping it on my windows system.....

[13:20] l3bu: what is the actual problem you want help with [13:21] lemme say that again sorry [13:21] yahoo imvisible detector www.detectoru.webs.com [13:21] l3bu: I had similar problem but ended up being wrong rules in the firewall [13:21] jasmine_28: please don't post random spam [13:21] what are the lib* files in the repo ? [13:21] hellofoo: for what [13:22] like libboost or libsqlite [13:22] what is repo? [13:22] in synaptic package manager [13:22] apt [13:22] hellofoo: what are you trying to actually do [13:22] hellofoo: what is the end goal [13:22] i need to install boost header files [13:22] chroot: a repo is a software source [13:22] hellofoo: ok - so why are you asking about libs if you want headers [13:22] MonkeyDust, and why call it repo? [13:23] chroot: repo is short for repository [13:23] ikonia: searching for boost in synaptic gives me libboost* names files [13:23] hellofoo: what is your end goal, what do you need the headers for ? [13:23] haha, what a silly question! [13:23] chroot: what is a silly question ? [13:23] i have 2 windows systems this is the main sharing one for internet, now i just put ubuntu server on another system i bought today, ive setup the gateway in ubuntu as this system, not able to ping it..... once i change the gateway to the linux box... it works fine but then the sharing for internet is disabled on the windows system [13:24] i am trying to install a software that gives me error "cannot find boost header files" [13:24] i have the modem connected to the switch then all systems going to the switch [13:24] hellofoo: what are you trying to install [13:24] mongodb [13:24] from source [13:24] ikonia, what is repo [13:24] silly questions are the questions asked by expert people in response to stupid questions [13:25] does that make a bit more sence? [13:25] hellofoo, you can try sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev that may work [13:25] hellofoo: mongodb is already built for you in the ubuntu repos [13:25] l3bu: yes, and no [13:25] l3bu: sorry, it doesn't [13:25] hellofoo: you can get it from the repo with the package name mongodb [13:26] l3bu: Shouldnt the modem be your gateway? [13:26] hellofoo: the server is called mongodb-server and the clients are mongodb-client [13:26] hellofoo: if you install those packages from the package manager, you'll get a compatible version installed [13:26] i see [13:27] Chheapshot: even tho its a modem and not a router? [13:29] ill figure it out tmorrow [13:29] thanks [13:29] seeya's [13:32] ikonia: actually i have been advised to install boost from source as the package in apt repo is not up to date or something [13:32] (boost is needed for mongodb) [13:33] hellofoo: I believe you have been ill advised then [13:33] hellofoo: I would strongly suggest you use the version in the repo unless you have a solid technical reason not to [13:34] hellofoo, I wasnt following the conversation well,, sot the libboost-all-dev may have been the wrong suggestion [13:35] i'll get it from the repo then. thanks. [13:35] hello, I'm planning to experiment by switching from windows to ubuntu today but it appears it won't support my mobile broadband adapter. how should I proceed? [13:35] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkManager/Hardware/3G <- this page doesn't even list the model because it's too new [13:35] coops89: start by telling the model of the adapter [13:36] also technically it's 4G and not 3G... naming the project 3G was not a good idea.. you should have named it mobile broadband instead [13:36] how do i install latest ubuntu from net? [13:36] Chheapshot: MF820D [13:36] ZTE [13:36] Loving Ubuntu right now. Question, setting up office computers, is there a tutorial for creating user accounts?

And see what happens [13:38] I'm a programmer so if there's any scripts I should try or any data I can collect for a working implementation to connect to MF820D ZTE, I'd be glad to help [13:39] Chheapshot: A guy in a forum posted this month that he'd tried it and ubuntu didn't even detect the modem [13:39] I mean... it must be pretty similar to previous models? [13:40] does the apt repo basically contain softwares in executable form ? [13:40] ZTE MF636+ appears to be supported [13:40] how do i upgrade ubuntu from 904 to latest?

But i gues it should be fine? [13:43] lf: probably better to do a fresh install, since 9.10 is also out of support and that's a necessary step for upgrading [13:44] hi [13:44] hey [13:44] I'd like to speak to ubuntu developers/programmers. what channels would you recommend?

Is there a better ubuntu derivative for kids that has smaller footprint and has browswer and maybe some kid games [13:54] Mode-M, unless you're still using grub 1, menu.lst is not used anymore [13:54] Free_Libya: try Edubuntu [13:54] glebihan: i use grub 1 [13:54] Also, I install these without a swap area.....I think Edubuntu will be too bloated. [13:54] Free_Libya, i dont think edubuntu has a smaller footprint however it is targeted for kids and above [13:55] is Github down? [13:55] I can not download any files [13:55] The smaller footprint is the most important factor.....as after web browsing using Libreoffice writer is main program necessary.

I'm also wondering about MeeGo [13:58] glebihan: Ah k , [13:59] ikonia: good question, i dont know. but i have been asked to use 2.0.0 :P [13:59] for the project. [13:59] hellofoo: right, so you're going against the ubuntu package to use software for no reason [13:59] Dollz, are you sure that link is correct ? [14:00] glebihan: pretty sure [14:00] hellofoo: I don't believe that is a wise path to follow, more so if you wish to maintain compatability with other libraries and tools within the ubuntu repos [14:00] hellofoo: changing version numbers for no reason is not a good method [14:00] glebihan: https://github.com/mrclay/minify << here is the lib [14:00] hellofoo: consider, the experience of the ubuntu developer team, could there possabily be a reason they have NOT upgraded the version [14:00] Dollz, yes I found it, and "git clone https://github.com/mrclay/minify.git" seems to work fine [14:01] ikonia: well, but i guess using newer software is better ? there is a difference of 1 year between 1.6.3 and 2 release [14:01] glebihan: wow, let me try [14:01] Free_Libya: http://doudoulinux.org/web/english/index.html [14:01] hellofoo: you guess wrong [14:01] hello, let suppose we want to watch only the live stream on a web site without other things that may be slowing down connection. how do w e do that?

[14:07] coops89: what's the question [14:07] hellofoo: the only way is by using some recovery tools. The chances of recovering decrease the more you use the computer. [14:08] aah, ok. [14:08] pdebruic : ok. . . what do you suggest? what should i re-install? [14:08] i deleted 2 big folders unnecessarily, nvm. i have backups.

I've never used the program. A quick google search gives this:http://forum.aircrack-ng.org/index.php?topic=7716.0 [14:10] coops89: why don't you just ask the question you have [14:10] coops89: this channel is not for desktop support only.

[14:11] auronandace: correct [14:11] coops89: ok, so what do you need ? [14:11] or just look into it, see if I can be of any help to any existing efforts [14:11] ikonia: or find a linux one and adapt it to get it included in ubuntu [14:11] coops89: the packages are on launchpad. look at the bugs / issues related to the packages, and just join in, join the mailing lists etc [14:12] thanks [14:16] howto doing ports forwarding in ubuntu? for one port ssh login@ip -D port.

The network settings. IP adresses. Then look for the "Gateway". That is your router. [14:29] vamadir: I think it impossible to do a portforward in this case, since you cant access the router of that hotel === pocoyo`` is now known as pocoyo [14:34] SOmebody can help me to compile some applications here?

[15:00] I don't want to remove the old one, I have important...stuff going on there [15:00] Odaym: uninstalling virtualbox and installing a new one willnot touch your config or images [15:00] Stanley00: i have seen it before - its runnning on one of my machines as it was part of the default install. just cant find its name [15:01] hmm.... [15:01] Odaym: i'm not misreading at all, you just don't understand how the OS works [15:01] I do not [15:01] ok [15:01] edbian : I tried it and when I put sqldeveloper he tell me to put the path of J2SE [15:01] I'm going to uninstall now, and install the new one [15:01] Odaym: if you remove an app and then reinstall it, the settings in the hidden folders in home will not be touched at all [15:01] houssem: How do you usually start sqldeveloper ? [15:01] that would need purge, right? [15:01] Any clue about: snd-usb-audio: probe of 3-1:1.8 failed with error -5 ? When plugging in a USB soundcard? [15:01] to remove EVERYTHING [15:01] G'day my fellow Ubuntu inmates :-) [15:02] edbian : when I'm at the university, I just type sqldeveloper [15:02] Odaym: no, the only way to remove the config is to manually do it yourself [15:02] ok [15:02] houssem: I'm not sure then :/ [15:02] Odaym: purge only removes residual configs in the system [15:02] Odaym: not the settings in home [15:02] Hi Sandra [15:02] is there a separate channel for Xubuntu ? [15:02] edbian : which is the command to tell the path of any installed application ? I'm right ? [15:02] Odaym: removing then reinstalling an app does not give you vanilla settings [15:03] #xubuntu [15:03] vanilla means fresh [15:03] Keyboard fail [15:03] Iios [15:03] !zyvubtu [15:03] Odaym: yes, or default [15:03] and without anything configured [15:03] dym: sound interesting, I didnt see one. [15:03] I can't raise open file limit: http://pastebin.com/PyFimBEP tried this, rebooted, no use. [15:03] Odaym: you can add the virtualbox ppa and get virtualbox 4.1 which will give USB access to your guests [15:04] ActionParsnip do you want me to include { uname -a; lsb_release -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf' } all in the paste bin?

The odd thing is, startx seems to work fine. So I don't think it's a problem with my drivers. [15:08] if I port them to ANY machine, and install the SAME software, it's as if I didn't move at all, ActionParsnip ? [15:09] Odaym: yes the configs can be duplicated. Its also a good save if the storage drive breaks [15:10] great to hear [15:10] this really elevates my interaction with the distro's [15:10] I didn't know this before, although I've edited more config files than I've had hot meals [15:10] alas, it's only been roughly a year or so since I started using linux [15:11] Odaym: every day is a school day :) [15:12] http://paste.ubuntu.com/700557/ [15:12] hi, where is allocated Empathy logs?

[15:18] the flashplugin-nonfree package in the main repo will provide a wrapper for 64bit [15:18] there is zero need to use a PPA [15:18] srini_: what I think is interesting is probably different to what you think is interesting [15:19] ikonia: the 64bit one runs cleaner :) [15:19] ActionParsnip: no, it doesn't [15:19] ActionParsnip ok, so I have updated and run all the commands... should I run anything else? [15:19] ActionParsnip: it depends on the hardware in the machine [15:19] ikonia: it does it and and I can only call it as I see it, its helped loads of people in here and on launchpad with high CPU or crashing with flash [15:20] ActionParsnip: sorry, it doesn't [15:20] fight [15:20] ActionParsnip: some people will have a better experience, others won't. it depends on the hardware [15:20] ikonia: I call it as Ive seen it many times [15:20] ActionParsnip: then don't [15:20] think it through [15:20] furyoshonen: restart your browser and it will be ok [15:20] ikonia: how do you mean? [15:21] ActionParsnip, gimp,xchat,minitube...these are all helpful packages...i am asking u like this... [15:21] ActionParsnip: do a little research on it and you'll find pros/cons to both depending on the users setup, blindly recommending it because it worked for you isn't really helpful [15:21] ikonia: why use flash -> wrapper -> browser when you can just go flash -> browser [15:21] srini_: https://help.ubuntu.com - read this for an introduction to ubuntu [15:21] ActionParsnip: because it doesn't always work well for people [15:21] srini_, some of mine are- transmission, gimp, xchat wireshark inkscape avidemux mplayer2 rubyripper cmus [15:21] ActionParsnip: that's why [15:21] and at that time you've enabled a PPA [15:21] ikonia: well how about we TRY it instead of blindly dismissing it, by the same token... [15:21] srini_, there are about 30 000 packages in the repositories... how do you expect us to tell you 5 or 10 that are interesting ? [15:22] ActionParsnip: no, because that point you've done it [15:22] ActionParsnip: as I said, research and understand the limitations pros/cons to each [15:22] ikonia: we can roll it back easily, its free to try [15:22] srini_: as I said, it's a matter of opinion/taste. Do some research on the net, and decide what's useful for you to install [15:22] why you so crazy about ppas here [15:22] ikonia: why not try something just to see if it works better or worse to see if it helps, seeing as it is so easy to rollback [15:22] like their the devils [15:22] lol [15:23] Gentoo64: because they can cause serious issues to peoples machines.

[15:31] furyoshonen: did you close your browser and reload it [15:31] ActionParsnip: yes [15:31] ikonia: on the official doc about flash, it says that. Is it incorrect? It also lists the PPA I gave? [15:32] ActionParsnip: if that document is true....why is it not being packaged officially [15:32] ikonia: not after a fight, just looking for consistency [15:32] ActionParsnip: if it's as good as this document says, why is it not in the offiical repo ? [15:32] ikonia: not sure, you got me there [15:32] ActionParsnip: because there are problems in certain hardware situations, [15:32] a lot of things arent in the official repo [15:32] ActionParsnip: I'm not saying it's bad at all, I'm saying it isn't always better, it depends [15:33] hence why I was suggesting research to understand the rough enviornment for pros/cons [15:33] furyoshonen: if you run: dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf' what is output?

[15:34] is there any file browser application in ubuntu in which I can use drop down like button to view and open the file instead of opening the folder?

[18:11] Luigifan, then log out and back in, you should get your panel back [18:11] I've tried that already.

[18:12] Luigifan, but now you did run the command to reset your panels, so everything should be back to normal once you log back in [18:12] Well no because it had given me an error [18:12] Hey there, for ubottu, is there a source code available for the BanTracker?

[19:59] Until we got to the openoffice directory. [19:59] Shirakawasuna: y will try again [20:00] Ubuntu 11 doesn't have openoffice. [20:00] Getting my whole office on Ubuntu. Pat me on the back... [20:00] So I'm stuck in this installer terminal and it keeps asking me for the directory for openoffice.org3 [20:00] is there a way to force the left launcher bar to appear? mine's been gone for a few minutes and it'd be inconvenient to reboot atm [20:00] Can someone help? [20:01] my main apps now are pygame ... browsers javascript ... python [20:01] So how do I enforce computer policy? I'm pretty much the network admin now...

[20:02] is work when type the command `which guake` [20:02] why doesn't debian just adopt "sudo" -- that would be tiring === Pilif12p is now known as Pilif|afk [20:03] amdx2: does it say something like /usr/bin/guake? [20:03] Jake afaik you cannot accidently give root a password. how did you manage to do that ? [20:03] rhin0: ? [20:03] Jake2: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [20:03] office1: enforce it how? [20:04] office1, http://linux.about.com/od/ubusrv_doc/a/ubusg33t11.htm [20:04] OerHeks: don't remember--weeks ago; was a command line attempt to change primary account and left something out of the command so it operated on root account and gave it the pwd I was trying to put on a different user [20:05] amdx2: what do you mean? [20:05] err [20:05] Shirakawasuna: no its not say nothing is execute the quake terminal [20:05] amdx2: got it [20:05] amdx2: the command is: ln -s `which guake` ~/.kde/Autostart/guake [20:06] amdx2: It's probably still a typo, then [20:06] Lucenut: uninstall openoffice first, then do it [20:06] amdx2: copy + paste the command ActionParsnip listed, don't type it out [20:06] guntbert: thanks; ansr is there: "If for some reason you have enabled your root account and wish to disable it again, use the following command in terminal...sudo passwd -dl root" === dean is now known as mongy [20:07] Jake2: yes, I know :-) [20:08] No such file or directory [20:09] ActionParsnip: this is the output for comand [20:09] ln: creating symbolic link `/home/amdx2/.kde/Autostart/guake': No such file or directory [20:09] amdx2: ok which app did you install? guake, tilda or yakuake? [20:09] guake [20:09] amdx2 install first quake terminal [20:09] is best yakuake? [20:10] but is instaled [20:10] amdx2: its kde based so will not need GTK deps, if you have other Gnome apps installed then its ok [20:10] hmm [20:10] amdx2: ok run: mkdir ~/.kde/Autostart ; ln -s `which guake` ~/.kde/Autostart/guake [20:11] amdx2: run that all as ONE command [20:11] Grub2 stops in command line mode when I boot. ls (hd0,1)/boot/grub/ works, and makes sense as there's one disk with multiple partitions. According to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#A.27.27grub.3E.27.27_Prompt_Booting I should then type "linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 ro" but this is where I get stuck, "error: no such disk".

Thanks [20:21] All I get is terminal screen. Have to choose an earlier version to start gui. Tried to update from package manager after that, and says I am up to date.

I saw the notification but how do I accept the request?? [20:21] wow, 900+ [20:22] where i can get the source code of calculator application that came default in ununtu?? [20:22] admin1: with that many machines, you probably want a proper solution designed for that kind of stuff. Do you have dedicated sysadmins? [20:22] Tried to edit the menu.lst file, but says not found.Do not know how to update in terminal. [20:22] shubham_rathi, apt-get source gnome-calculator [20:22] do not know how to updat in terminal.

[20:23] rabbaroo: have you tried googling [20:24] seveas its coming unable to find source package for gnome calculator [20:24] rabbaroo: what happens when you type sudo apt-get update [20:24] rabbaroo: what are you trying to do? [20:25] I can do that I guess, thought this was my best shot at an answer tho. [20:25] anyone able to help me? [20:25] hi. i think my framebuffer has incorrect settings. when booting in single or multiuser i get a blank screen after 'waiting for /dev to populate' (not even getting to logon in single user without acpi=off, much less the gui). tried fbset -depth 24 because this is a super old laptop (intel 830M graphics) and fbset says it's trying 32b, how do i restart the framebuffer to try this? [20:25] sogeking99: are you dual booting? [20:25] is there an alternative to clonezilla that let you clone on larger and smaller size than the image was created.. [20:25] hi guys. Im sitting in a youth hostel trying to connect my ubuntu box to the inet [20:25] yeah [20:25] sogeking99: with which OS? [20:25] its comingE: Unable to find a source package for gnome-calculator seveas [20:26] well no actually, i lost the HDD with windows [20:26] shubham_rathi, try checking your sources.list, there should be appropriate deb-src line [20:26] so i am installing ubuntu on it [20:26] sogeking99: is the drive partitioned at all? [20:26] momcilo means?? [20:26] hi. why would ubuntu show my cpu as 800mhz if it 1,6ghz? :/ [20:26] it's an unprotected network with web interface... (it works under win) but how to access it under ubuntu? [20:26] momcilo please can u explain in detail? [20:26] /etc/apt/sources.lists [20:26] no its my 2tb HDD, just video files [20:26] maikls: cpu freq changer [20:26] check the content of that file [20:27] shubham_rathi, it's gcalctool, sorry [20:27] ok [20:27] sogeking99: you should be able to resie ntfs in the live cd, use gparted [20:27] mongy, i didn't change anything. just installed fresh ubuntu [20:27] maikls: yeah, it uses ondemand as default cpu [20:27] shubham_rathi, there should be something like: deb-src http://SERVER-NAME/ubuntu/ natty main restricted [20:27] admin1: I believe partimage can, rsync will too [20:28] mongy, any hint how to fix it? or it uses all cpu anyway? [20:28] rabbaroo: why do you need to edit menu.lst [20:28] whats it mean by 'before you can select a new partition partition size, any previous changes must be written to disk' [20:28] Actionparsnip, I had an automatic update window yesterday, and when it installed and said to reboot I clicked yes, and when rebooted all I get is terminal window. === sandok45 is now known as adagio [20:28] maikls: well if you want to, just edit /etc/init.d/ondemand and change echo -n ondemand > $CPUFREQ to say performance instead of ondemand [20:28] cos i had this same problem with winxp, i installed bios driver and it fixed it. few years ago.. [20:28] rabbaroo: you can boot to liveCD, chroot and fix things [20:28] Was going to judt delete the first entry [20:28] seveas its done thanks!!! :D [20:29] momcilo seveas method worked!! :D [20:29] rabbaroo: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video [20:29] maikls: that script is only a dirty hack to make it come down from performance during bootup [20:29] Thatnks ActionParsnip. [20:29] shubham_rathi, good it worked ;) [20:29] rabbaroo: CD will also work, same difference [20:30] seveas momcilo package is downloaded but now error coming gpgv: Can't check signature: public key not found [20:30] guys, has anyone experience with wifipass under ubuntu? [20:30] mongy, so it shoudn't affect performance? [20:31] ? [20:31] shubham_rathi, did you get the packages? [20:31] maikls: it will just set the cpu governer to performance after its booted. [20:31] how can i find out what my cd drive is under /dev/ [20:31] momcilo yaa its downloaded but now error coming its not opening [20:31] or simple senario.. I can make the same image X4 from the misc size cloned imaged workstations, ie: 80GB and 120GB and network boot and select the right sized image.. is this possible to boot PXE in Linux [20:32] mongy, so it should be like echo -n performance > $CPUFREQ [20:32] ? [20:32] root__: don't work as root, don't irc as root [20:32] maikls: yes. [20:32] hej, having a problem developing with eclipse cdt i have teh c++ dev packages installed but i do not found the iostream in /lib/include, do I need to set the version og gcc im using?? [20:32] mongy, thx ;) [20:32] guntbert, but all the cool kids irc as root! [20:32] shubham_rathi, I don't get it, you should have archive + dsc + unpacked directory even if signature verification fails [20:33] momcilo gpgv: Signature made Thursday 21 April 2011 02:19:42 PM IST using DSA key ID 0F7C882E [20:33] gpgv: Can't check signature: public key not found [20:33] dpkg-source: warning: failed to verify signature on ./gcalctool_6.0.1~git20110421-0ubuntu1.dsc [20:33] dpkg-source: info: extracting gcalctool in gcalctool-6.0.1~git20110421 [20:33] dpkg-source: info: unpacking gcalctool_6.0.1~git20110421.orig.tar.gz [20:33] dpkg-source: info: unpacking gcalctool_6.0.1~git20110421-0ubuntu1.debian.tar.gz [20:33] dpkg-source: info: applying 01_lpi.patch [20:33] shubham_rathi: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[20:35] mongy: that doesn't work (same message) [20:35] Jaxan: I think aptitude does a better job of handling that stuff. try it [20:35] OK, I'm a ubuntu noob. I just got coldfusion installed and the cfadministrator runs fine. [20:35] better? [20:35] shubham_rathi, everything is ok, use pastbin next time [20:36] seveas i already have it... [20:36] !rootirc | root__ [20:36] root__: It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. [20:36] momcilo now what is pastbin [20:36] But when I try to create a file in the var/www folder it says I don't have permission to. :-( [20:36] !pastebin | shubham_rathi [20:36] shubham_rathi: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [20:36] momcilo i want to see its source good how can i do that? [20:36] I am in eclipse trying to create a simple .cfm file in the www dir. [20:36] Lucenut: use: sudo cp file dest or run: gksudo nautilus if you have a desktop UI [20:36] Psi-Jack, not sure what option to choose, theres guided partitioning, config logical volume manager, config encrypted volumes and a list of my hard drives [20:36] shubham_rathi, there should be a gcalctool directory now [20:37] i want to use only 20gb of my 2tb HDD [20:37] why does vim not have indentation data on ubuntu and how do i fix this? [20:37] sogeking99: can you not resize the partition in gparted? [20:37] hotel1, apt-get install vim [20:37] shubham_rathi, you don't have maintainer public key [20:38] ok, im not root anymore [20:38] hotel1, by default only vim-tiny is installed, not the full vim [20:38] ActionParsnip, i do not see gparted here. [20:38] ah....thanks [20:38] i'll try that [20:38] hotel1: also known as vi [20:38] seveas where is gcalctool directory? [20:38] sogeking99: run: gksudo gparted if it doesn't run the install it with: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install gparted [20:38] OK, I did gksudo nautilus and an explorer window opened. Now what? [20:38] momcilo how to get maintainer public key? [20:39] admin1: you want something designed for this exact thing. There are many different strategies. I would definitely *not* rely on anonymous IRC device and would try to contact a sys admin who has done this before and/or read heavily on the topic. [20:39] shubham_rathi, in the directory where you ran apt-get source [20:39] In the root dir [20:39] ActionParsnip? [20:39] ActionParsnip, im not in linux, im in the install part [20:39] Lucenut: navigate to /var/www and you can copy and paste as you wish. be VERY VERY careful [20:39] ActionParsnip, couldn't see the try linux option [20:39] hotel1, if your arrow keys give funny outputs (capital letters I believe) then you're using vim-tiny [20:39] admin1: the basic idea is that you either want to have something that will easily be unpacked to these systems, one at a time (painful), or will be automated via networking (more complicated). [20:39] OK, but how can I develop web apps like this? [20:39] daniel___: usually you find your CD under /dev/sr0 [20:40] sogeking99: I suggest you boot to the liveCD session where you try the OS and manipulate stuff there, be sure your data is backed upbefore you start, a defrag can also help [20:40] sweeeeet, it worked [20:40] thanks so much Seveas [20:40] seveas ok i can see 3 files that it has downloaded [20:40] sogeking99: you will have seen this: http://www.techmarino.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Natty_Narwhal_Ubuntu_Install.jpg [20:40] sogeking99: yes? [20:40] ActionParsnip, sadly i lost my windows OS so i cant access any of my data [20:41] check the dsc file for maintainer name and e-mail, then use public key repository [20:41] two are in .gz format and one is dsc seveas [20:41] admin1: basically... if you do this right, you'll have sysadmin street cred. If you do it wrong, it will suck. [20:42] shubham_rathi, I have to leave now, you've got your sources [20:42] so i want to download a different type of ubuntu disk? [20:42] hey ! does anyone know what does "Your check will be $1234.54 before any deductions" mean? [20:43] momcilo but how to see its coding? [20:43] will do that, I am win2003 sysadmin, and scratching the Linux surface.. I,m in over my head on that one.. will contact Ubuntu paid support. thanks [20:43] momcilo what if i have to make changes into it according to my use? [20:43] It means that my check might be less tha 1234 dolars or it will be the same? [20:44] admin1: http://www.opscode.com/chef/ [20:44] hey anybody can tell me how see source code of any application of ubuntu [20:44] !ot | elisa87 [20:44] elisa87: #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! [20:44] hi [20:44] admin1: lots of options, the trick is finding the one that's easiest to administrate long-term [20:44] the only options this disk seems to have is: install ubuntu, check disk for defects, test memory, boot from first hard drive and rescue broken system? [20:44] suppose i want to modify code of any application how can i do so? [20:45] administer* [20:45] how could I install 32-bit lib in lucid? [20:45] shubham_rathi: apt-get source packagename [20:45] Thanks! [20:45] shubham_rathi: then you repackage it [20:46] shirakawasuna yaa i have done that and it downloaded three files [20:46] ActionParsnip, oh, i think i got the alternative disk [20:46] shirakawasuna now how to see its code? [20:46] shubham_rathi: the code is in the files. [20:47] xiexie: sudo apt-get install ia32-libs ? [20:47] shubham_rathi: the files are probably compressed with a .tar.gz extension. Use tar xf filename to unpack one. [20:47] shirakawasuna ok but how to see that? [20:47] shirakawasuna yes its in .tar.gz extension now how to unpack it? [20:48] mongy: it report Could not find that package [20:48] shubham_rathi: you use that command I just said :D [20:48] local network .. how? [20:48] ah? [20:48] shirakawasuna ok ok got it!! thanks!!! [20:48] :D [20:48] shirakawasuna one more thing [20:48] shubham_rathi: basically, there should be 3 files [20:48] anyone, please ... local network .. how do I [20:49] shirakawasuna where i can get redhat server download link [20:49] shubham_rathi: one is *_orig.tar.gz. This is the original source. It's what you woul dget if you downloaded it from the original person who wrote the code. [20:49] is there anyway I can back up files from my hard drive from a live CD with only one hard drive and cd rom and no flash drive or ext device? [20:50] shubham_rathi: One is *.diff.gz. This includes the debian/ubuntu patches and such. These are applied to the source before being compiled, so the final version of the package you're using has had them applied (if you used apt-get install packagename) [20:50] shubham_rathi: and there's a .dsc, which includes information (metadata) about the package [20:50] jonjonmojo: back up over the network [20:50] jonas: With an operating that loads on RAM and that has a dvd/cd burner on it. Probably Puppy linux but not sure. [20:50] shirakawasuna ok [20:50] shirakawasuna thanks but how can i modify it [20:51] can i remove the cd and burn a new disk? [20:51] shirakawasuna i opened .orig.tar.gz it got so many folder cant see code actually :P [20:51] jonjonmojo: With an operating that loads on RAM and that has a dvd/cd burner on it. Probably Puppy linux but not sure. === irishpunk387 is now known as Wilcon [20:52] shubham_rathi: the code is in files in the folders... [20:52] shubham_rathi: programs are generally organized into a lot of different files. Why are you editing the code? [20:52] jonjonmojo: Can't you boot into your hard disk? Why? Which OS installed? [20:52] shubham_rathi: also, Red Hat is a different version of linux. It also costs money. [20:53] shubham_rathi hi [20:53] stonehard hi [20:53] StoneHard hi [20:54] jonjonmojo: It seems that latest Ubuntu live cds have toram option. You should choose that on live cd boot options and it will free the cdrom. [20:54] free server [20:55] shirakawasuna actually am in cs branch of engg. so want to edit code jst for entertainment!! :D [20:55] shirakawasuna but now i can see its way too complicated!!! :D [20:55] shubham_rathi: Yeah, you have to start out small [20:55] shirakawasuna phew people has worked so hard!!! :D [20:56] shubham_rathi: yup! Lots of work goes into this stuff :) [20:56] back again, my pc has amd-64 in it, but I installed 32-bit ubuntu in it, should this sound odd? [20:56] Hi! Where in the file system are bluetooth mounts found? [20:56] shirakawasuna hmm i have taken smallest application calculator [20:56] :D [20:56] how to learn linux [20:56] ? [20:56] amdx2: google is your friend [20:56] amdx2, automonted :P [20:56] I am browsing the files on my bluetooth device, and they show up in the graphical file browser, but I need to be able to access them from the command line [20:56] no google [20:56] y just want something basic [20:56] shubham_rathi: If you want to learn coding, I recommend starting very small.

[20:57] shubham_rathi: start with the '142' slides [20:57] xiexie, it will work fine, the only limitation is that depending on the amount of memory you have on your computer, your system might not be able to handle it all [20:57] amdx2: first result on google: http://linuxreviews.org/beginner/ [20:57] !lmgtfy | alex-- [20:57] alex--: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [20:57] glebihan, okay [20:57] shirakawasuna what is 142 slides? [20:57] :)) [20:57] nice [20:57] :)) [20:57] shubham_rathi: it's a class [20:58] shubham_rathi: 'CSE 142' [20:58] shirakawasuna is it also some application in ubuntu? [20:58] amdx2: look at the other links google gave you [20:58] shubham_rathi: nope [20:58] shubham_rathi msg [20:58] seems like I need obexfs [20:58] shubham_rathi: It's a programming class, an introduction to programming. [20:58] but there is not a book to learn ? [20:58] guntbert: I know, but the lmgtfy link I gave him is full of usable results, not only to point him to google. [20:58] There are plenty of linux boks [20:58] shirakawasuna ok ok got it [20:58] Hello [20:58] books 8 [20:58] amdx2, start with ubuntu-manual :-) http://ubuntu-manual.org/ === Eryn_1983_FL is now known as gabrielle [20:58] OerHeks: didn't know it :P [20:58] what APT package allows you to create a sock5 proxy server on Natty? [20:58] y need CLI [20:59] hey can anyone recomend a good media libery app that can handle round 100k mp3's ? banshee just craps out around 5-6k [20:59] StoneHard hii [21:00] jonjonmojo: So I suppose that you cannot make any choice at live cd boot options? [21:00] shirakawasuna did u edit codes? [21:00] shirakawasuna u seem quit genious! :D [21:00] shubham_rathi: lol, thank you. I do minor edits, I'm not an expert at coding by any means. [21:01] shubham_rathi: if you work at it for a little while, you'll be better than me in no time. I use coding to hack together science things, not proper programs. [21:01] shirakawasuna ok hack together science things means [21:02] dak: I suppose that the alternative to all standard multimedia apps is vlc. [21:02] shirakawasuna how can u hack science!! :P [21:03] shubham_rathi: to do things to data (calculations, statistics, etc) [21:03] shirakawasuna ok are u also engg student? [21:03] !ot | shubham_rathi Shirakawasuna [21:03] shubham_rathi Shirakawasuna: #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! [21:04] dak: I don't know of any that specialize in dealing with lots of files. I would just try a bunch of different options. I'm using gmusicbrowser right now. You could also try using mpd, which has a daemon running in the background which scans the files for you, entirely separate from the frontend. [21:04] guntbert ok!! lol people are too serious here!!! :D [21:05] how do i get an alt sign ..like for an e-mail.. with a broken keyboard? [21:05] with a new keyboard [21:05] jonjonmojo: you map it to a new key [21:05] I installed kubuntu-desktop earlier to give it a whirl, and it's changed the fonts used in chrome and thunderbird. Is there a way to simply uninstall all packages installed today? [21:05] how do I map it to a new key? [21:06] jonjonmojo: http://mdskinner.com/resources/remapping-keys-ubuntu-xmodmap-and-xev [21:07] where i can get best operating system for server and that too free??? [21:07] ok, i just asked this question earlier. why does vim not have indentation data, for e.g. ruby? [21:07] shirakawasuna u said redhat not free so where i can get free server os? [21:07] jonjonmojo: for a quick workaround type u, then 40 [21:08] shubham_rathi, ubuntu... [21:08] martian: There is probably a more efficient way to do so, but you can see what was recently installed using `less /var/log/apt/history.log.1.gz` [21:08] ok [21:08] indentation works fine by default on windows vim, but not ubuntu [21:08] glebihan ok !!! === Hiz is now known as Guest2997 [21:09] What's the best FTP client that will automatically upload changes when a file that I'm editing from the client gets saved? Filezilla gives me a dialog and there's not way to set it to be automatic. [21:09] Shirakawasuna: well, that's a start. Thanks [21:09] !puregnome | martian, also have a look at [21:09] martian, also have a look at: If you want to remove all !Kubuntu packages or !Xubuntu packages and have a default !Ubuntu system, follow the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome [21:09] martian: then, when you see a line from today that says something like `apt-get install k3b`, you run `sudo apt-get autoremove k3b`. If you do this with all of your install commands from today, the changes should be reversed [21:09] martian: also look into the 'purge' options in apt-get [21:09] is anybody using a custom firewall other than iptables? [21:10] How to resume from 'hibernation' or 'suspend' status pressing the 'usb keyboard' instead to press the computer power button? [21:10] do you have a script wihch would configure iptables and and enable it during startup [21:10] martian: actually, it's probably best to use purge [21:10] martian: sudo apt-get autoremove --purge [21:10] I need help. [21:10] !firewall | g0rs [21:10] g0rs: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist. [21:11] qwebirc9802: ask away! [21:11] I have installed ubuntu along side windows vista, how ever i do not know how to get to ubuntu. When I thurn on my computer it goes strait to windows [21:11] qwebirc9802: Did you install ubuntu first, then vista? [21:11] somebody tell me how to install indentation data for vim [21:12] no, vist first, then ubun [21:13] htl: install vim-scripts maybe [21:13] sudo apt-get install vim-scripts [21:13] qwebirc9802: that's strange, then. Did you have to recover vista at some point? If ubuntu was installed second, it should have installed GRUB to the MBR of your disk, meaning it should show the grub screen at boot [21:13] it adds support for lots of programming/scripting/markup languages I believe [21:19] hi, what's the modern alternative to dd that doesn't require mucking around in /dev/ trying to figure out why there no longer is a /dev/cdrom? [21:22] wdkrnls: k3b and generating an iso from it ?? [21:24] adrian15: *facepalm*. Here I was spending all this time trying to figure out what ubuntu was calling my cd rom drive. Thanks a bunch! [21:25] wdkrnls: When your cdrom is mounted you can also use the old fashioned way of running "mount" and checking the output.

[21:28] What's the best FTP client that will automatically upload changes when a file that I'm editing from the client gets saved? Filezilla gives me a dialog and there's not way to set it to be automatic. [21:28] jonjonmojo_: You can ask in #grub if there is a bluetooth module or something but I think the answer is no. [21:28] mattalexx: you won't find one [21:29] mattalexx: There are no such ftp clients unless you script it yourself. [21:29] thx [21:29] mattalexx: sshfs [21:29] mattalexx: dropbox can do LAN sync too [21:29] kurze frage, ist compiz grid das einzig mögliche tool zum anordnen von fenstern unter ubuntu? [21:29] qinns: how is that ftp that uploads when you change the file ? [21:29] upps sry, wrong channel [21:30] ikonia: It has nothing to do with ftp [21:30] qinns: which is what he was asking for [21:31] ikonia: Also asked to have ability to alter remote files live. [21:31] mattalexx: It seems you need a ftpfs which I think it does not exist... well... maybe in Gnu/Mach :). [21:41] does ubuntu need to be installed on a primary partition? [21:41] daniel___: no [21:42] i currently have arch with 3 primary partitions for /boot, /home, and / [21:42] plus a swap partition [21:42] and i cant have more than 4 primary [21:42] im wondering how i should install ubuntu [21:43] im also wondering if i need to do anything special so i dont overwrite my bootloader/grub settings [21:44] daniel | you can install ubuntu in logical partition [21:44] why am I still able to connect to IRC after denying the respective port with ufw? [21:44] daniel___: there is a flag you can pass ubiquity to not install boot loader [21:45] I forget it :( [21:45] how do i turn the unity search results from thumbnails to list view? [21:45] that, or use the alternative installer, if it still has the option to allow/deny grub install [21:46] haillo [21:46] i myself install all my OS in logical instead of extended partition [21:46] is it possible to grant apt-get rights to a user for a single application [21:46] JetBoyJetGirl: inbound or outbound? What port? [21:46] ubiquity -u or -q or something. [21:46] at the moment i have 4 primary partitions and i cant even create a new logical partition [21:46] need to somehow convert some of them [21:46] daniel___: oh. have to convert one to extended then [21:46] qinns: 8001 , hmm... not sure if it would be inbound/outbound but tis the port I'm connected on right now [21:47] would that be inbound? [21:47] make the swap extended and recreate swap later [21:47] you sould make an extended partition first [21:47] its a non essential partition [21:47] oh... it would be outbound. [21:47] ^ [21:47] ok mongy, i have unmounted my swap partition and im using gparted [21:47] ahh, ok that's why it's not working qinns? because it is outbound? [21:47] do you know how to convert it to extended? [21:48] Hey [21:48] daniel right click [21:48] hrmm... [21:48] delete and, create a new partition [21:48] JetBoyJetGirl: 8001 looks like uotbound. [21:48] ah ok [21:48] *out [21:48] actually, i have no idea what the swap partition is for [21:48] remove it and make a new one, extended [21:49] oh ports are either/or ... i see [21:49] what will the consequences be? [21:49] as ^ semprul says [21:49] swap is a virtual memory [21:49] daniel___: make a new swap later and just make sure to edit fstabs for new uuid [21:49] I wanna get rid of ubuntu and put windows on w/o downloading and I need to do it within ubuntu [21:49] I dont have internet on my ubuntu [21:49] Anyone have any suggestions about how to get good with networking & networking basics on Linux? Like specific tasks to take up? [21:50] I'm running Ubuntu 10.10. [21:51] daniel | it's helpfull if you only have small phisical memory [21:51] ok semprul, so it is not crucial in order for anything to function? [21:51] i have plenty of memory [21:51] mongy, how will i know the new uuid? [21:52] daniel___: make extended and then logicals inside extended, also make swap as logical, but do a sudo blkid /dev/sdXX for new swap and put that uuid in your existing fstabs [21:52] how much RAM do you have daniel? [21:52] 4gb [21:52] that's enough [21:52] I have 4fb but I run a few vm's so I need swap a little [21:52] ok, cheers both [21:53] fb=gb [21:53] gunna have to logout so i can unmount my /home partition....it needs resizing [21:54] anyone know why ubuntu displays my cpu speed as being 2.6 ghz while i have it overclocked to 3.2 in bios? [21:54] Good Afternoon [21:55] Good night.. [21:55] Oh, it's night over there? [21:55] yeah.. [21:55] I am trying to to an offline upgrade, however the files within http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/ appear to be old than the file dowbloaded using apt-get update. Where can I do an offline upgrade than contains all the latest security patches? [21:56] SetiAmon: cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor [21:56] damnit [21:56] hey people!! [21:56] :D [21:57] <<-- needs to sleep... by All... [21:58] Ji [21:58] Hi [21:58] Bye [21:58] So... Can someone explain me why Gnome3 does'nt work in olders ubuntu versions? [21:59] my swap partition should be ext4? i forgot what it was before i deleted it :S [21:59] bye semprul :D [21:59] root_: No, it should be formatted as swap. There should be an option named "swap space" or similar. [21:59] wait sorry [22:00] that was dumb [22:00] anyway, gotta get off irc as root again [22:00] hey why isnt there is no feature of defragemanting in ubuntu? [22:00] pLpB: Because GNOME3 is newer than them and thus probably makes use of certain features of the system that aren't present in older versions. [22:00] arent my disk performance gets detroit day by day? :O [22:01] !defrag | shubham_rathi [22:01] shubham_rathi: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext4) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. [22:01] hey guys [22:01] how come it keeps changing my wireless network [22:03] Hi all, is there a way to tell which distro I'm currently running (Lucid, Maverick, etc.), as I've continually kept current as new updates become available. uname -a shows I'm running 2.6.32-34-generic #77-Ubuntu SMP Tue Sep 13 19:39:17 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux, if that's any indication [22:04] Artie_Ephem: lsb_release -a [22:04] Hum... [22:05] hello everyone [22:05] aah perfect, thanks quinns :) [22:05] Artie_Ephem: np. [22:05] Hello D_Russ [22:06] does anyone know if there is a live search feature available from within file windows, similar to win 7? [22:06] hi all [22:06] Hello theTwiz [22:06] D_Russ, you mean like Do? [22:06] echo $DISPLAY localhost:12.0 <-- how i can shutdown all the rest xservers and leave the default :0 open [22:07] plpB, not sure what do is? [22:07] im using vsftpd and transfers start out maxing out my gigabit connection, then after about 20 seconds drop to 140-150mbps. how would i determine the cause of this? [22:07] ActionParsnip delayed response, thanks for the unity --replace tip [22:07] It's a search app [22:07] Check at Launchpad [22:08] https://launchpad.net/do [22:08] plpB similar to how google is now and how win 7 is. Does Do put the live search functionality in file windows? [22:08] Nope. He open's a Window... [22:08] Well. [22:08] how do i turn the unity search results from thumbnails to list view? [22:09] Why does'nt use the Ubuntu Dash search [22:09] ? [22:09] unity dash doesnt find files does it? [22:09] only apps? [22:09] nah it does files too [22:09] cool [22:10] : [22:10] Yep, files too [22:10] when you find it and click it does it open a file window or takes you straight to the file? [22:10] And the Oneiric get's better [22:10] (: [22:10] Yep [22:11] anyone know how to change it to list view though? [22:11] is oneiric better than natty at the moment as far as stability goes? [22:11] Well. No [22:11] i dont think you can change the view of the dash [22:11] not in 11.04 anyway [22:11] I help to fix some bugs, and I can tell you that is not ready [22:12] But.. it's only 11 days to launch === vex is now known as naibu [22:12] will all the bugs be gone by launch? [22:13] well the majority of the bugs? === Momix is now known as MomixTN [22:13] i have been checking it out on webupd8 and it looks very promising. [22:13] D_Russ: #ubuntu+1 [22:14] thanks, TheEvilPhoenix [22:17] Yep [22:17] hey are there any official download mirrors for ubuntu-10.10 ? [22:18] Only the betas [22:18] At the ubuntu site [22:18] hey guys, i am trying to install ubuntu, what partitions should i make [22:18] and what sizes? [22:18] 69gb [22:19] only beta? [22:19] cyx_: Why doyou want 10.10 rather than 10.04 or 11.04? [22:19] sogeking99, it should reccomend you a minimum size. [22:19] i had a problem with v 11.04 [22:19] @sogeking99 that depends on what you want...do you want to dual boot, single boot, etc. [22:19] Yep [22:19] cyx_: What problem? [22:19] anyone know how i can add some text to a specific line in a file with ubuntu? [22:20] i want 10.10 because someones using 10.10 and what i wanted to do was working for him [22:20] under 10.10 [22:20] You want to fix bugs? [22:20] i tried for 3days already [22:20] cant fix lol [22:20] hey [22:20] well i want to use 20gb [22:20] i set up 20gb free space [22:20] 20gb should be fine [22:21] i have ubuntu 11.10, how can i start xwindows [22:21] but i hear its best to make 3 partitions? [22:21] 100 would be better [22:21] service gdm start doesn't work [22:21] why would you make 3 partitions? [22:21] are you keeping windows? [22:22] @sogeking99 usually the installer will make three partitions for you. You'll end up with a boot partition, a ubuntu partition, and a swap partition. [22:22] cyx_: http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.10/ But please explain what your problem with 11.04 was. Your friend won't be able to use Ubuntu 10.10 forever (and even 10.04 will be supported longer as it's an LTS release). [22:22] rasusto: yeah thats what i meant, so it will do that on its own? [22:23] rasusto: Ubiquity does not create a separate /boot partition by default (as one is rarely needed and only complicates things). === Chadza is now known as HappyMan [22:23] are all .04 LTS releases? [22:23] i found it [22:23] D_Russ: No. [22:23] hope it works under 10.10 === HappyMan is now known as TheHappyMan [22:23] @sogeking99 yes. if you are installing from the disk, it does everything on its own [22:23] so an LTS can be a .10 too? [22:23] 24003mb is around 24mb right? wanna be sure im choosing the free space i made [22:24] gb i mean [22:24] you mean gb [22:24] yes sogeking99 [22:24] do i check 'format?' if its just free space? [22:24] D_Russ: It's possible. So far the only LTS releases have been 6.06, 8.04, and 10.04. [22:25] assuming you dont want it to run along side windows, just format the entire drive [22:25] or the whole of the partition you are using [22:25] so i suppose the next LTS wont be until 12.xx? [22:26] the installer will format it for you, sogeking99 [22:26] just choose the correct partition and kit install [22:26] D_Russ: 12.04 is the plan. [22:26] hit* [22:27] do i just click the free space then click install now, or must i create a partition from the 24gb? [22:27] what are the limitations of using unity 2d rather than 3d? [22:27] just click install now. it does everything for you [22:27] just hit the free space and choose install now. [22:28] oh i get this 'No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu.' [22:28] yeah rasusto is correct it knows where the free space is, it wont mess up your other OS. [22:28] the main partition you made, you have to set the mount point as / [22:29] hey guys i am using transmission [22:29] how come it says 0 connected peers [22:29] @Guest33018 you aren't connected to anyone [22:29] Guest33018, maybe its true [22:29] how come [22:30] so do this? http://i.imgur.com/Wh1PI.png [22:30] that means no1 else is using transmission? [22:30] how many torrents do you have open? [22:30] one [22:30] i only have transmission installed [22:30] which other one is good [22:31] @sogeking99 looks good. [22:31] i like qbittorrent [22:31] but transmission is solid as well [22:31] Howdy! Running Lucid. Lost sound output. Only thing that changed was a Chrome update. Is it the OS or the machine? [22:31] Well, I prefer the BitTorrent client of Natty [22:32] qbittorrent has a few bugs [22:32] oh it wants me to make some swap space [22:32] plpB, isnt that transmission? [22:32] I guess it is [22:32] so does transmission also connect with utorrent or not? [22:32] yes [22:32] any other client [22:33] @sogeking99 make another partition and set it as a swap. usually about 2gb is good [22:33] http://www.livestream.com/globalrevolution - Witness Live police arresting peaceful protestors randomly at a 15 000 people march, at the moment 19 000+ are streaming this live. Lay witness to history my friends!!! [22:33] will i need to for /home also? [22:33] I was thinking about how to download files with python [22:33] @guest33018 transmission != bittorrent [22:33] sad face [22:33] @sogeking99 no, /home will be under the / partition [22:33] so it doesnt connect to bittorent [22:34] OH WAIT [22:34] I Was talking about the BitTorrent Transmission client of Ubuntu [22:34] @Guest33018 bittorrent is another torrent program. it can connect to any torrent program [22:34] It to download torrents [22:34] Guest33018, you are probably just downloading an unpopular torrent.

[22:48] PsychoX75: anytime [22:48] KPG: two tracks with different clips, set the second one to start delta the length of the fade out and make it fade in the same amount? [22:48] Sorry peoples, I need go, bye [22:49] Kalavera Do you have the sasldb installed? [22:49] Myrtti: That might work.

Please help. [23:08] I was able to to run wireless [23:10] finally [23:10] how can linux autocomplete switches such as the -al after ls? where does it get this info? [23:10] Do u guys know of any torrent program capable of being managed by web-interface? Like SABNZBD does? === whatshisname_ is now known as whatshisname [23:11] guess not [23:13] PsychoX75, Check out uTorrent. I read somewhere you could manage it from a web interface. [23:13] Hello , did any one know how to solve wireless disappear problem? [23:13] aight [23:13] tx [23:13] Can you pls help me? My wireless was running fine and suddenly it disapeared from "Network Connection" [23:14] I can not use wireless anymore. [23:14] jjsam, Can I have more details? I know on my netbook when it over heats it drops connect a lot. [23:14] having an issue with an mdadm raid5 array in 11.04. I had some type of disc failure and somehow ended up with the device in a "removed" status but it's still showing in mdadm -D /dev/md0 , and I can't seem to get rid of it nor add any new devices. The good news is that while the array is degraded, it's "clean." Any ideas? [23:15] BrandonBolton, I did some update and then reboot, Then I don't have wireless NIC on the top and no wireless signal anymore [23:15] BrandonBolton, how do I get it back? [23:16] jjsam, Is it 11.04 or 11.10? [23:17] BrandonBolton, it is 2.6.38-8 [23:17] what would make an "auto eth0" configuration in /etc/networking/interfaces get ignored at start up? I just upgraded to 11.04 and now my network doesn't come up automatically. [23:17] here is my mdadm -D and fail/remove errors http://pastebin.com/VSkQSkJ3 [23:19] BrandonBolton, here is my ifconfig output, http://pastebin.com/qJB797kS [23:19] jjsam, Is it internal or external? [23:20] BrandonBolton, what do you mean? [23:20] BrandonBolton, do you mean my network adapter [23:20] ? [23:20] BrandonBolton, it is internal [23:21] BrandonBolton, my wifi has disappeared i === irishpunk387 is now known as Wilcon [23:21] doctorZeus: what's wrong with it, you tried to remove a disk that is not present? [23:23] schnuffle: It came up degraded, I ran into several issues (which of course I'm unable to recall) that did not allow me to do a clean "fail" and then "remove" of the bad disc. Now, it seems like it wants to see the original disc in order to do anything with it and I've sinced formated it and zerod the superblock [23:23] hey guys, i installed ubuntu ok. but i cant choose my resolution [23:24] jjsam, try running iwconfig [23:24] doctorZeus: okay I see, so your goal is to get raid device 0 removed? [23:24] 1920x1080, i have a radeon hd6950 [23:24] schnuffle: I've so far been unable to find a way to "force" a removal.. It thinks there is 4 components but 1 of the 4 is missing. Yes that is what needs to happen [23:24] I *think* [23:24] BrandonBolton iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. [23:25] Bored [23:25] all of the docs I've so far been able to find though only allow you to remove using /dev/sdX and since that disc is long gone from the array (formatted and zerod) I don't know how it's to be done [23:26] oh i thought ati drivers where installed when you do the updates [23:26] doctorZeus: what's written in your mdadm.conf? [23:27] doctorZeus: you should add a fourth device as you declared your raid having 4 devices [23:28] doctorZeus: so setup a disk with a partition type fd ( autoraid ) and add it to your raid device [23:29] ? [23:29] schnuffle: http://pastebin.com/7SEhhvLp is mdadm.conf [23:30] I'm having an issue with my 'e' key in terminals. It seems to get 'absorbed' the first time I type it. If I type, e.g. 'apt-ge', the e doesn't appear. If I type 'apt-get', it does (the next letter makes it appear). Two e's = e, three = ee, etc, until I type another letter, then it appears. [23:30] This only happens in terminals, nowhere else [23:30] schnuffle: OK this may be a different problem but when I try and add a fourth device, it tells me that the disc is not big enough. In disc utility it was saying something silly like needs 1.0 TB free and only 1.0 TB is free. [23:30] Is there a que system for asking for help? (or just wait? lol) [23:30] I was thinking that may be related to the "stuck" 0 device [23:31] what is a good audio player for pls files in Ubuntu? I tried using mpg123 but the only way I can get it to work is by feeding it a URL as the argument rather than the whole .pls. But my pls has a bunch of backup streaming servers too so that would be more desirable. [23:31] grrr... ok, so i have to manually do ifconfig on an interface to bring it up with an ip. It's like ignoring /etc/network/interfaces. [23:31] !ask | grammatrain [23:31] grammatrain: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:31] and I've tried two separate 1TB discs, one of them brand new [23:31] did ubuntu 11.x ever support vmware workstation ?? [23:31] it happens in both guake and the xfce terminal, and VTs, but only as my user [23:31] doctorZeus: do a fdisk -l /dev/sda which will show you the partition size of the other disks and setup a partition on your new disk with exact the same size, thats important [23:32] anyone know how i can get my resolution to allow 1920x1080 [23:32] Hi all, can someone help me with my wifi adapter? According to: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=885847&page=107 installing a backport should work, but it hasn't :( [23:32] doctorZeus: the stuck device is shown as your raid is configured to have 4 disks, one is missing which causes the removed entry [23:33] schnuffle: I get "Disk /dev/sdb doesn't contain a valid partition table" for all of the current raid discs.. I think I left them all unpartitioned [23:33] ani have catalyst. i got this: There was a problem initializing Catalyst Control Center Linux edition. It could be caused by the following. No ATI graphics driver is installed, or the ATI driver is not functioning properly. Please install the ATI driver appropriate for you ATI hardware, or configure using aticonfig. [23:33] what else impacts bash stuff outside of ~/.bashrc and /etc/profile? [23:34] schnuffle: but I grew the array once and din't have this issue [23:34] if I press Fn+F8, the screen gets darker, and Fn+F9 makes it brighter again. last night I turned it down, but my F9 key is broken so I can't turn it back up. Is there some other way to do it? [23:34] or can I somehow 'fake' Fn+F9? [23:34] doctorZeus: you managed to create a softraid with all disk unpartitioned hmm, didn't knew this is possible [23:36] dooglus: possibly a command line command, what is the make / model of the system? [23:36] anyone know? [23:36] schnuffle: I was trying to eek as much space out of them as possible and figured a whole volume was better.. may be stupid but definitely possible heh [23:36] is there a "reinstall" options for apt-get? [23:37] like for aptitude it is 'aptitude reisntall ' [23:37] dooglus: mess with something in /sys or /proc [23:37] dooglus: it will depend on your hardware. [23:37] dooglus: type find /sys | grep brightness [23:37] doctorZeus: I use the whole disks in my setup but with a partition, so no idea how you can manage your setup [23:37] ActionParsnip: it's some chinese make - bought it without an OS [23:38] Does anyone know how to fix a problem where when you plug in head phones into the headphones jack you still get sound from the speakers and the head phones at the same time? [23:38] what is the equivalent of /etc/security/limits.conf in 11.04? [23:38] ActionParsnip: Clevo M760T [23:38] i need to increase my max files open [23:39] schnuffle: in my mdadm.conf, is the hexadecimal #s after the UUID= the hard drive serial numbers? I've been on calls at work where raids have failed and it be a serial # issue [23:39] dooglus: Can you enter this directory? /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0 [23:39] Shirakawasuna: find output: https://privatepaste.com/4e9fecc640 [23:39] schnuffle: wonder if I should try removing the serial # that corresponds to the "failed" disc? Any idea where else it may be storing that disc 0 that is "removed"? [23:40] k [23:40] dooglus: sudo cat /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness [23:40] dooglus: that should tell you your current value [23:40] doctorZeus: the removed one just shows you that one is missing, if you manage to add one the entry will disappear [23:40] ahhhh...hmm [23:40] hello [23:41] I need help [23:41] Shirakawasuna: thanks [23:41] Shirakawasuna: I can 'echo 7 > brightness' to fix it [23:41] dooglus: yup [23:41] dooglus: what is the output of: sudo find /dev | grep -i bri [23:41] dooglus: ahh, sweet [23:41] hmm - I just alt-tabbed back here and it went dark again... [23:42] dooglus: you can find your max brightness here /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/backlight/acpi_video0/max_brightness [23:42] dooglus: the alt+tab thing makes no sense. Probably a coincidence or a power management app is doing something funny [23:42] Shirakawasuna: yeah, it's not repeatable [23:42] I can not put wine finding my CD-ROM drive. I installed FM2010 with winetricks, everything goes fine until it tells me that it cant find the disk, can anyone help me? [23:43] Shirakawasuna: I set it back to 7 (the max) and it's still there for now - but it defintely went dark again just now [23:43] paulo: use winecfg to let it know which device is your cdrom [23:44] a little question , when I add the virtual_maildir_suffix parameter in main.cf it is suppoused to read the maildir path lets say /var/vmail/domain.com/account/ and add Maildir/ at the end of it [23:44] dooglus: I dunno, something else is setting it. [23:44] I have it added in the main.cf but all the emails are falling into /var/vmail/domain.com/account/ [23:44] and not into maildir/ [23:44] dooglus: make sure there isn't a /proc entry for brightness, see if that works [23:45] I'm sorry but I already run winecfg and I still dont find my CD-ROM dryve [23:46] in my .bashrc: bright() { echo $1 | sudo tee /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness > /dev/null; } [23:46] Shirakawasuna: I don't see anything in /proc/ about brightness [23:48] Shirakawasuna: the dimming definitely seems to be triggered by a keypress [23:49] Shirakawasuna: I think a keypress after a short period of idle time makes the screen dim back to the dark setting I had last night [23:50] doctorZeus: what happens when you try sfdisk -l /dev/sda? [23:51] Shirakawasuna: more specifically, if I write '7' to that file, wait 9 seconds, and hit return, the screen stays bright. if I write '7' to that file, wait 11 seconds and hit return, it dims [23:52] dooglus: it's probably conflicting with a setting by some daemon [23:52] dooglus: you can also simulate key presses using xmonadmap, perhaps it will work better if you simulate brightnessup [23:52] Shirakawasuna: in fact, if I "sleep 11; bright 7" and then hit return as soon as it has finished, the screen dims [23:53] !info xmonadmap [23:53] Package xmonadmap does not exist in natty [23:53] do you mean xmodmap?
