[00:00] When SSHing into a server, my terminal kind of freezes up after a period of connectivity (I assume I've been dropped from the server). Is there a way to avoid this? [00:00] anth0ny: TCPKeepAlive setting can help [00:01] schnuffle: cool, thanks. the issue isn't so much being dropped as it is that I can't disconnect and reconnect. i'll take a look at TCPKeepAlive [00:02] anth0ny: or use following, on server: ClientAliveInterval 30 ClientAliveCountMax 4, on client: ServerAliveInterval 30 ServerAliveCountMax 4 [00:03] anth0ny: you can type Enter then ~ then . to end a session [00:04] yeats: cool, I'll try this next time I get the freeze [00:04] anth0ny: yes - it's very handy for when that happens [00:08] How do i make the annoying unity bar appear ONLY if i put the mouse to the corner? [00:09] ok, how about when a program locks ups? ctrl+d or ctrl+c doesn't work but I can do ctrl+z to put it in the background. how can I drop it from the memory? [00:10] Any chance someone can answer a question about Ubuntu installation problems? [00:10] ?? [00:10] hi, I just added a user on my VPS and when I login using that user there is no prompt, only a $ instead of the usual username@host:directory [00:10] how do I fix that? [00:10] or what did I miss? [00:11] and I can use the arrows to go back in the history [00:11] So I burned Ubuntu 10.04 to a CD and booted it. It gets to the point where it asks what time zone I'm in. I click 'forward', and it simply doesn't respond or do anything [00:12] I re-burned the CD, and the same thing happened. I can use that CD to test Ubuntu... it actually runs from that... however when installing it just doesn't do anything after trying to leave the time zone selection screen. [00:12] Currently downloading 11.04 to see if it does anything different. Otherwise, any ideas? [00:12] diverdude: this may help: http://maketecheasier.com/autohide-unity-launcher-in-ubuntu-natty/2011/04/20 [00:12] Visitor_099, did you use adduser to create the user? i'm guessing you didn't. [00:12] adduser [00:12] yes [00:13] Kabuthunk: I had a similar issue once but it was at a different point of the install.. did an md5hash check and it was off (it was the downloaded .iso, not the disc itself). Even though you reburned it I'd do the hash just to confirm [00:13] anth0ny: you can do 'killall ' (or look up the pid with ps, then 'kill ') [00:13] no GUI there so I'm doing it all on CLI [00:14] Thanks doctorZeus. How do I check the md5hash? I know what it is... I've just never looked into how to verify one [00:14] Visitor_099, try copying /etc/skel/.bashrc to your users home dir - then logout/back in [00:15] Visitor_099: you can do "usermod -s /bin/bash " to change the default shell to bash [00:15] Visitor_099: (preface that with 'sudo') [00:15] Kabuthunk: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [00:15] No, never entered my mind until it was mentioned above. [00:16] Bah... looks like google pointed me how to check it in Linux terminal [00:16] yeats: that did it :) [00:16] Unfortunately I'm in Windows (dual-boot system). [00:16] thanks [00:16] Visitor_099: happy to help [00:17] Kabuthunk: there are softwares to do it on windows [00:17] Kabuthunk: the ISO may be corrupted. It needs checking [00:17] google something like md5 file check windows [00:17] !md5 | Kabuthunk [00:17] Kabuthunk: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows === ianjm is now known as ianmbp === ianmbp is now known as ianjm [00:18] Cool, thanks. Currently looking into getting a checker and see what it spits out. [00:18] hi, i'm having some issues reassembling a raid5 mdadm array on ubuntu, is there a place i can go to seek advice for this? [00:19] Gah, right, Windows doesn't recognize 'ls' in command prompt :P [00:19] Kabuthunk: using torrents adds extra checking [00:20] Kabuthunk: done 'ls' in windows a gajillion times at work [00:20] Yeah, I think I direct downloaded it from ubuntu's site. Which is where 11.04 is coming from. Eh, might as well check that when it's done too. [00:21] I am trying to run a 32 bit application on my 64 bit machine. The software's documentation says for Ubuntu 64 "sudo apt-get install linux32 ia32-libs ". I have Fedora so can anybody tell me what apt-get install linux32 ia32-libs provides? (Or where I can find out) [00:22] otay, better ask in #Fedora [00:22] OerHeks I just came from there [00:22] we do not like to give you the wrong answer, fedora is an other archetecture [00:22] otay: you might search packages.ubuntu.com - it may provide more details [00:22] We don't know what those Ubuntu packages provide [00:22] check yum ? [00:22] * otay goes there [00:23] how do i move all the files from blah/blah/foo.bar out of their 2nd level folders into the main folder so it goes blah/foo.bar ? [00:23] OerHeks I did that first. No results for ia32* [00:23] basically a bunch of files in seperate sub directories to the main directory? the folders are in [00:24] bsmith093: can you do that using the 'mv' command? [00:25] as in 'mv blah/blah/foo.bar blah/foo.bar' ? [00:26] Well crap. Looks like the md5 matches. [00:27] @ Kabuthunk: I thought that was a good ting? [00:27] did you try another time zone to see if it works? [00:27] alohaanni: That is a good thing normally, except I was hoping that the file being bad was the problem :P [00:28] otay: http://paste.ubuntu.com/700798/ [00:28] Didn't try another time zone yet, since it just auto-selects the right one. Suppose I could try that. [00:28] yeats looks like lots a pack. [00:28] oopies [00:28] thanks! [00:28] Will wait until 11.04 finishes downloading though [00:28] otay: sure [00:28] I accidentally my IRC client. [00:29] that was kind of you. [00:29] * otay starts installing them [00:29] Don't see how a different time zone would change much, but who knows. It's like when I click 'forward', I get the hourglass, the CD spins down, and then the computer just sits there like a rock. I can move the mouse and whatnot, and even click 'x' to exit. It acknowledges that. [00:29] otay: happy to help - saw your question in #fedora ;-) [00:29] Strange, strange problem [00:30] Is there another way to download MP3s from the Amazon store in Natty other than using Banshee? [00:30] Kabuthunk: sometimes strange problems have strange solutions [00:31] from being strange problems [00:31] mattalexx_: if you're running 32-bit, you can just install the linux Amazon downloader - more complicated in 64-bit [00:31] Kabuthunk: I'm just a newbie, but when I had installation problems, it turned out that I have a bunch of bad sectors on my disk. Have you checked your disk? [00:33] Hey, I'm kinda lost when installing Java on my vps over ssh. I have both the rpm installer and tar on there, what do I do from there? [00:33] ryanclancy000: you want the .bin file [00:34] yeats, I wasn' [00:34] t able to . Missing dependencies [00:34] ActionParsnip: What's the .bin file? [00:34] ryanclancy000: the rpm is for rpm based OSes [00:34] mattalexx_: running 64-bit? [00:35] Hmm, I can't seem to find the .bin [00:35] alohaanni: jre-6u27-linux-i586.bin I assume 32bit [00:35] alohaanni: you get it from the link named 'Linux (self-extracting file)' [00:35] mattalexx_: and, I'll just ask, any particular reason you're not using Banshee, since we know it works? ;-) [00:36] I've got two hard drives (technically 3, but two of them are raid-1 mirrored). It didn't get to a point where I could even choose what hard drive to put it on [00:37] yeats, It actually bugs out when syncing my iPod Classic, while Rhythmbox accomplishes that with ease. [00:37] 32-bit [00:37] mattalexx_: I see, so have you tried installing the missing deps? [00:39] In theory, shouldn't Ubuntu be formatting the disk, which would then find any errors, when it tries to install? [00:39] Kabuthunk: did the ISO check out ok? === UltimediaOS is now known as Markus[uOS] [00:39] Come to think of it, it shouldn't be installing yet anyway. Looking on Ubuntu's site, the next screen after that time zone should be keyboard selection. [00:39] yeats, http://i.imgur.com/X8tkY.png [00:40] hmmm interesting [00:40] Yeah, MD5 came back fine. [00:40] maybe it's something with your keyboard [00:40] Kabuthunk: ok, what media are you using to install? CD or USB? [00:40] CD. My computer for some reason refuses to boot off USB [00:40] Despite the fact that I can select it [00:40] ActionParsnip: How would I get the bin file for java 7? [00:40] that sucks, booting from USB is great [00:41] ryanclancy000: go to the java site [00:41] Kabuthunk: did you burn the CD as slowly as possible? [00:42] mattalexx_: hmm - interesting... === GhostFreeman__ is now known as GhostFreeman [00:43] ActionParsnip: I downloaded the binary and untarred it [00:44] mattalexx_: you could *try* downloading that from http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/libboost-filesystem1.34.1 and installing it, but it's wise to be cautious about installing debs from other releases than the one you're on [00:45] ryanclancy000: you want the bin file, then copy it to /opt mark it as executable and run it with sudo [00:47] Cd was burned on 2x speed. Shoudln't be CD anyway because I burned two CD's, and both stopped at the same spot [00:47] ryanclancy000: you then symlink /opt/javafolder//jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so into your browser's plugins folder [00:47] Kabuthunk: is the RAM healthy? [00:48] After reboot, will attempt either different time zone, or 11.04. RAM should be fine... never had any problem. Not sure how to verify it anyway without physically pulling it out of the computer and swapping new RAM in. [00:48] Kabuthunk: its worth testing, the installer will get issues in bad ram [00:49] Kabuthunk: there is a memtest option on the install cd [00:49] Intriguing. Will have to try that. [00:49] Download of 11.04 still going. [00:49] WHYYYY is video tearing something I see on EVERY linux machine Iv'e ever had [00:49] At this point it's all speculation until I can test the 2 or 3 other things mentioned throughout here. [00:49] there are softwares to check the ram Kabuthunk [00:50] but I doubt there is a problem with it [00:50] Might as well just use memcheck on the CD mentioned above. [00:50] But... brb in a bit. [00:51] yes [00:52] Roasted: Still tearing those videos? :D [00:52] Roasted: in which video apps? [00:52] Roasted: running compiz? [00:53] Roasted: I think aeon-ltd has something there, does it happen if you log into Ubuntu Classic session? [00:54] Question: Anyone know a way to send a graphical message to a users desktop (gnome 2) from ssh? [00:55] yeats, Yes I agree, but I did it anyway: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1478214 [00:55] yeats, It seems to be working like a charm [00:55] aeon-ltd, ActionParsnip, earlier I dealt with a HTPC I set up for my girlfriend. tearing like crazy. nvidia 6150. Set up compiz, set the sync to vblank and hz settings in the nvidia settings app and compiz, fixed it [00:56] aeon-ltd, ActionParsnip, then I came home excited to fix these issues on my home computer. nvidia 9600gt, 11.04 (hers was 10.04.3) but I still have tearing. [00:56] is ActionParsnip a bot? is always here - permanently [00:56] amazing -- not a bot [00:56] aeon-ltd, ActionParsnip, now granted, I'm using 11.04 with gnome shell via ppa, so it's not the cleanest setup in the world since it changes a lot of underlying libraries in regard to gtk2 vs gtk3, but still... [00:57] Hi everyone ! [00:57] in fact I'm half tempted to put 11.10 on it just because its gtk3 native to see how it works. [00:57] aeon-ltd, someone also suggested to me to fire up a livedvd of sabayon and see if the issue exists there (since sabayon has video drivers) [00:57] excuse me all [00:57] i have eclipse in my ubuntu [00:58] when i run, that show me the message [00:58] here is the message [00:58] !paste [00:58] 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.

I edited alsa-base.conf.. added "Options sna-hda-intel model="" with my model of course.. but everytime i load up my system i have to Take the line out an then readd it.. and then alsa force-reload. [01:08] ActionParsnip, what is it about ?? [01:08] i dint get you [01:08] kaushik_: it shows a lot of detail about your sound setup, select to upload to the server [01:08] IIs there away to make it "Stick" everytime or i have to do it everytime. [01:09] baktrak_: the O of options is lowercase [01:10] baktrak_: also, no quotes are needed [01:10] I know ;) [01:10] they dont have quotes i was just saying [01:10] its like options sna-hda-intel model=targa-2ch-dig [01:10] thats how it is in my alsa-base [01:11] (Oh dear I've come into #ubuntu for support, this can't be good) I just updated my system, and the first thing I noticed was Thunderbird crashed upon opening, and the crash window came up and said "Cannot send report... Application did not identify itself" or something. Since restarting, I don't get any UI at all. [01:11] ActionParsnip, [01:11] wat is the command ? [01:11] can you please tell me again [01:11] ? [01:11] ActionParsnip, but in my system there is 2 Internal Speakers.. + subwoof all internal because im on a Laptop wouldnt that make it a 8ch? [01:11] Are there any plans to add a "Copy To ..." option in the context menu when you right-click a file? A directory browser would popup. [01:11] Running /etc/init.d/gdm restart returns "stop: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules: ..." [01:11] kaushik_: use you cursor up and it will show old commands you have ran [01:11] I guess that might be a Gnome thing [01:12] ActionParsnip, :) [01:12] kaushik_: you can also review what I have said ni the channel too, so I don't have to do anything, you do [01:12] can someone help me track down a driver for a netgear wpn111 [01:12] philipballew: is it USB or internal ? [01:13] usb ActionParsnip [01:13] philipballew: ok, run: lsusb one line will identify the device and you can use the 8 character hex ID to find guides [01:14] http://paste.ubuntu.com/700810/ ActionParsnip [01:14] philipballew: I don't need that, you do [01:15] i know, i figured id show you as well. I have the number now.

The problem is that probably it wants to eject /dev/dvd whereas I have /dev/sg1 [01:19] where Ican change that? [01:19] groundnuty, what version of ubuntu [01:20] bazhang: not even ubuntu, more of gnome3 question ;) [01:20] groundnuty: gnome3 isn't supported here [01:20] groundnuty, #gnome [01:20] sory, thought that ubuntu was run gnome3 [01:21] groundnuty: in Oneiric yes, which is also not supported here (yet) [01:21] ActionParsnip: ok ;) [01:22] Does anyone know how to fix a laptop that when headphones are plugged in audio comes out of the head phones and speakers at the same time? [01:23] it's a alsa problem I think but I just can't fix it [01:24] grammatrain: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh [01:24] checking [01:24] Anyone know of a way to have windows snap to an imaginary grid when they are moved or resized? I know Compiz Grid does very simple move snapping, but I'm looking for something more along the lines of Divvy (that's only for Windows/Mac; http://mizage.com/divvy/) [01:25] ... That is to say I'd like to window to be able to be snapped to which ever four points in the grid I want, not just the corners [01:25] ... Forget it, I'll just try upgrading to Ubuntu 16 early [01:26] When I run that I'm getting a error message of "changing permissions of `./alsa-info.sh': Operation not permitted [01:26] bash: ./alsa-info.sh: Permission denied [01:26] " [01:26] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1529378 mattalexx this suggests a script [01:26] bazhang, TYhanks [01:26] sudo -i gramma [01:26] grammatrain: are you running it from your home folder?

[01:29] grammatrain: what is the output of: pwd [01:29] /home/grammatrain [01:29] ActionParsnip: Hey you there ? [01:30] RP64: howdy [01:30] excuse me, I'm having trouble with my system randomly crashing and displaying a large amount of video noise. I'm fairly certain it's because of my gfx card and restricted hardware drivers. I have the nvidia drivers installed but I'm getting "driver activated but not currently in use" in jockey [01:30] ActionParsnip: hey I installed 10.10 instead, and it worked perfectly after install, then I installed nvidia drivers and updated the system, and it had the exact same problem [01:31] grammatrain: if you run the command and your pwd is not within your home, you'll get permission issues [01:31] ActionParsnip: And I managed to fix it with nouveau.blacklist=1 [01:31] RP64: sweet, go for that then :) [01:31] RP64: awesome [01:31] ActionParsnip: but dude , thing is, after i updated, it lists 2 linux kernel versions in the grub , an older and newer version [01:31] is this what you are trying to get http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=7fb57fa23488544d7bb62d32790a23f0678b2794 [01:32] RP64: you can remove the old one if you want [01:32] ActionParsnip: if I pick the newer version, nothing, not even nouveau fixes the blackscreen, if I pick older kernel nouveau fixes it , isn't that strange to you? also, I tried going fullscreen on a flash app and it blackscreened me [01:32] ActionParsnip: no, the old one is the one that works [01:32] ActionParsnip: the new one can't get past a blackscreen with nouveau, get it ? [01:32] ActionParsnip: its really weird.. [01:32] ActionParsnip: hold on im gonna try going fullscreen on youtube and see if it blackscreen crashes me ,if I log off then you know it did lol [01:33] RP64: add the boot option in /etc/default/grub in the quotes with: quiet splash and it will add to every kernel you ever add in the future as well as current kernels [01:33] grammatrain: so sound comes from speakers when you use headphones? [01:33] yes both the speakers and the head phones at the same time [01:33] ActionParsnip: hey but action, how come when I entered nouveau blacklist onto the newer kernel it didn't work? Only on the older one ... [01:34] Id like to switch to ubuntu full time. But I have one issue; iTunes, I know wine doesn't have the USB support (or graphics support) for it to run. Any thoughts? [01:34] grammatrain: run: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf add this line: options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 save the new file, close gedit and reboot to test. If that doesn't work, re-edit and change the line to: options snd-hda-intel model=laptop [01:34] hjax, no itunes for linux. dual boot if you must have it [01:35] RP64: it should apply to all kernels. You can also add: blacklist nouveau in /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf [01:35] hjax: itunes can run in wine, check appdb for compatibility [01:36] Thank you actionparsnip for your help. [01:36] ActionParsnip, quick question.. whats the use of Nouveau? [01:36] anybody? [01:37] baktrak_: its a new opensource nvidia driver, some chips don't like it [01:37] grammatrain: np man [01:37] loganhoup: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc; lspsci | grep -i vga [01:38] ActionParsnip: But device syncing/update/restore does not work [01:39] ActionParsnip, are u suppose to HAVE a nvidia.conf file? [01:40] ActionParsnip, maybes its diff because im on Ubuntu 10.04 ??.. Because i have a Nvidia VC and i dont have a conf named that in /etc/modprobe.d [01:41] baktrak_: you can make files in there, as long as they have the .conf extension it's fine. [01:41] Alright i have a problem, ill try to explain it the best i can. I set up 2 Virtual Machines, the first one(uses dsl) is only there to make sure that the second one(using ubuntu 10.10) does not accidentally connect to the internet except through my proxy(TOR) so the second machine is there for browsing, chatting etc. [01:41] ts configured in such a way that it can only use TOR and nothing else for connecting to the net. However if i try to load a site i get this error: http://i.imgur.com/O458a.jpg [01:41] How could i fix this or what could be the reason for the timeout? [01:42] baktrak_: it's just so YOU know what the file relates to. You can call it /etc/modprobe.d/yellowsubmarine.conf if you want [01:42] ActionParsnip, i have it.. its called nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf :) [01:42] hjax: after doing some googling sounds like it isnt going to work if u need sync support [01:42] actionparsnip: one second. [01:43] baktrak_: use that if you want, they all get read. You can just have one super file with everything in if you want. It really doesn't matter [01:43] ActionParsnip, its had nouv black listed aswell as nvidia 173 and nvidia 96 and lbm-nouv [01:43] has* [01:43] actionparsnip: one second. I just tried reinstalling the drivers from the command line with no luck :( At least I finally have something in my xorg.conf (This computer is a clean install from about 20 minutes ago) [01:43] And it crashed again too.. [01:43] hjax: Only option I can think of is using virtualmachine to install windows, but I gues thats a bad solution [01:45] loganhoup: may want to test your ram too [01:46] baktrak_: cool [01:46] baktrak_: sure, they weren't commented? [01:46] ActionParsnip: did you mean lspci? [01:46] ActionParsnip, im sure it says blacklisted [01:46] ActionParsnip, well blacklist not blacklisted === tom_ is now known as oooooo [01:51] well i fixed it [01:51] I have been running my legal copy of win7 on virtualbox for quite a while, it my only copy of win, it works just fine in ubuntu too. why not have the best OS running the OS you need like me one a year to do my taxes [01:51] ActionParsnip: Hey man it crashed when I tried to look at a youtube vid in fullscreen, and now it can't log in at all it only blackscreens, I'm about to give up on ubuntu forever [01:51] ActionParsnip, there is no difference [01:51] even now [01:51] i wrote some bash to recreate the superblocks of the mdadm array with all possible combinations of ordering and 1 missing drive and then fsck -fn to see if it contained a valid ext3 file system [01:52] BINGO [01:52] kaushik_: did you try both options seperately? [01:52] no i just put the command [01:52] i will do that [01:53] ActionParsnip: I get natty [01:53] 00:0d.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C61 [GeForce 6150SE nForce 430] (rev a2) [01:53] :/ they may have been a bit too much. I'll pastebin next time :P [01:53] ActionParsnip: It makes ZERO sense why it isn't working. It worked perfectly when I first installed it. 2.) I install the Nvidia (current) drivers, it blackscreens upon login. 3.) I try nouveau.blacklist=1 , doesn't fix problem. 4.) I try nouveau.blacklist=1 on the older of 2 available kernels after update, and it fixes problem. However I move the mouse , and it blackscreens. 5.) I try the... [01:53] ...exact same method as 4. and it works again, which makes ZERO sense. Then it crashes on fullscreen youtube video. 5.) Now it won't stop blackscreening upon login even with nomodeset or nouveau, on either of the kernels. [01:53] ActionParsnip, i dint understand what options i need to change [01:53] ActionParsnip: Makes NO sense at all in the universe. Wouldn't you agree? [01:54] are they in the command or file [01:54] ?? [01:54] rp64 did u try just blacklist nouveau? [01:54] or blacklist lbm-nouveau [01:54] baktrak_: Are you a troll? did you read my message? I clearly state I did do that . Read my whole message [01:55] i did [01:55] u state that u did blacklist= [01:55] Im not saying blacklist= [01:55] nouveau.blacklist=1 is what I did [01:55] yes [01:55] look and why would it even not work this way it doesn't make sense [01:55] it works one minute , next minute doesn't work with exact same fix [01:55] makes NO sense [01:55] why not blacklist nouveau? [01:56] what do you mean write that exact line instead of nouveau.blacklist=1 ? write "blacklist nouveau" in the splash space? [01:57] baktrak: hey is that what you meant ? im confused [01:57] baktrak: have you heard of this before or is my system alive and trying to stop vista from being replaced [01:57] ActionParsnip: hey did you leave [01:57] So I forced the installation of the natty version of python-beautifulsoup on my maverick system, it runs fine, but now all package management interfaces refuse to do anything while there is a "broken" package present... [01:58] kk [01:58] try this [01:58] go to /etc/default/grub [01:58] baktrak: I can't I cant even log into ubuntu at all I'm on Vista right now [01:59] and change it to grub_cmdline_linux_default="nouveau.blacklist=1 quiet splash" [01:59] :s [01:59] RP64: issues with a nvidia vpu and ubuntu? [01:59] Cant go to recov ?? [01:59] how do I access it am I forced to boot with LiveCD or can I do that through windows [01:59] Wait. Why am I here? [01:59] almoxarife: you wouldn't believe how much issues [01:59] Anastasius: LOL [01:59] RP64, cant go to recov?? or nothing [02:00] almoxarife: are you a pro about that stuff cus I can PM you the whole thing [02:00] > [02:00] baktrak: Hey I guess I could yeah , so I should do that? [02:00] Try it [02:00] then like i said [02:00] Open /etc/default/grub and change: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nouveau.blacklist=1 quiet splash" [02:00] baktrak: also the grub for no reason confused the windows recovery partition with regular windows, so selecting one boots up the other, what a piece of crap [02:00] RP64: Press esc after bios loads and enter recovery mode [02:00] then update grub after that rp64 [02:01] RP64: I am no pro but I did manage to get it working thru hard knocks, first thing 'insure the bios locks out the onboard video' [02:01] baktrak: OK im trying your thing dude brb [02:01] kk [02:01] almoxarife: will baktraks thing do that ? [02:01] RP64: the only thing that will do that is making changes to the bios at startup [02:02] Yes almo but its worth a try [02:02] Because he said hes tryed everything [02:02] anyone here use linux audio progs, like synthesizers? [02:03] I want to say it was James Cromwell, but he was the guy from Star Trek: First Contact, various aliens from TNG, and that guy from "Babe", the pig movie. I'm pretty sure he was never on a national electoral ticket. [02:03] if so, whats the best one? [02:03] nn: there is no single best app for any situation in any OS [02:03] nn: its as intelligent as asking "what is the best colou?" [02:04] nn: you will get opinions, but none are outright best [02:05] im just wanting to know what works best for certain things, like midi sequencing loop samples [02:06] i found this prog called smasher but it requires like 20 different libraries to even run that i have no idea how to install [02:06] should there be like a package or something with a lib install? [02:06] of all of those [02:06] I've figured it out now. It was Admiral James "Who Am I" Stockdale.

[02:18] DemonicData, I do as well. I imagine that eventually, "Ubuntu Classic" will go away.

[02:20] RP64: do you mean the blacklist thing? [02:20] 11.4 was the first i went back to since jaunty [02:21] DemonicData, you may need to switch to Xubuntu or Lubuntu when you have to upgrade if you want to avoid the unity interface [02:21] incidentally I agree with you [02:22] DemonicData, I am fraid that with all the effort going to Unity, other DE support will not be there. This will result in more buggy behavior if you try to use something other than Unity. [02:24] whats wrong with gnome really?

[03:43] celltech: sudo apt-get remove wine [03:43] sudo apt-get remove wine [03:44] thank you [03:45] dual display with one rotated is a nightmare [03:45] I'm gonna remove it. then start over. was at the apple store yesterday about my iphone and they said their confused as to why apple doen't make an itunes since mac runs on a linux kernal [03:45] celltech: the word is kernel, and mac os does not use the Linux kernel [03:46] theirs is called Darwin [03:46] celltech: mac run on bsd kernel, not linux one [03:46] Hello all, i just turned my laptop on, my background image is floating at the bottom right of the screen, and the black area around it shows anything moved around it, has anyone seen this before? any idea how to fix it? [03:48] Then the dude lied to me. Is there anyway other than wine of vmware to get intunes on my system for my phone? [03:49] anyone have any idea what i'm talking about? [03:49] i can post a screen shot [03:49] How to output to tv screen using a radeon 7000 series [03:49] ?? [03:49] celltech, multiboot [03:49] I outputted its black and white [03:50] I would but I hate MS and everything about them [03:50] Which is why I'm on linux now [03:50] celltech: This (running itunes) may be beyond support of this channel, but you should try main music players and gtk-pod (amarok, rythbox, banshee) [03:50] Well I need to itunes for the restore and stuff of my phone [03:50] celltech, you need to start the hatered for apple too then [03:50] banshee is AMAZING when it comes to putting music on the phone [03:50] celltech: There wassomething called atunes, but never used it. [03:51] I'll find it and try it out :D [03:51] thank you [03:51] no one? :( [03:52] ola [03:56] hello. I was in here earlier because I have a laptop that is playing audio from the speakers and headphones at the same time and a wonderful user had me add two different lines (one at a time with rebooting for each try) to alsa-base.conf and it sadly did not work. I was wondering if anyone else has any other ideas. === Pilif|afk is now known as Pilif12p [03:57] Pilif12p: please dont away like that ni future [03:58] ActionParsnip: hey man i think the new ubuntus just dont support pre 2010 Nvidia drivers [03:58] ActionParsnip: k. every time people tell me not to do it, it causes more disruption. i'll use them when i was in an important discussion, and need to leave suddenly. i'm not trying to sound snippy, but i don't do it often, and when i do i generally have a good reason to. [03:59] ActionParsnip: Do you recommend any other distro of linux that would be as usable and woul d suppport the drivers? [03:59] pidgin uses my browser variable to open URL links which is cool, but if I try to "Open Containing Directory" it uses my browser too. How do I get pidgin to open URL's in my browser but "Open Containing Directory" in my file manager? [04:00] !away >Pilif12p [04:00] Pilif12p, please see my private message === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [04:02] RP64: what nvidia device? [04:02] KM0201: I'm not sure but its a Geforce 8000 I THINK, its from 2008 , and yea i mean whenever I install the drivers for it my ubuntu is unusable / blackscreen, and ive been spending 4 days now going through all workarounds and none work [04:02] the following is a generic question, without regard to ubuntu distro. How does one usually reconfigure the x server? [04:03] KM0201: you know, going to grub and pressing E and putting in all teh commands that would usually fix such a thing doesnt work, and trying 173 instead of current nvidia doesn't work, [04:03] KM0201: and then I read that ubuntu doesn't support pre 2010 (legacy im assuming it means pre 2010 at this point) nvidia drivers [04:03] realitychanger, it is actually in relation to ubuntu. You dont need an Xorg.conf except in specific cases [04:03] KM0201: So im thinking of trying linux mint [04:03] RP64: linux mint isn't gonna solve your problem. [04:03] KM0201: why [04:04] GSF1200S: okay then, what is the command for reconfiguring the x server? [04:04] KM0201: maybe their drivers will work [04:04] RP64: because mint is more or less ubuntu (unless yourr problem is unity, which is unlikely) [04:04] realitychanger, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [04:04] i believe [04:04] yes I tried mint yesterday thinking it might fix my problems... nope. === mimico_away is now known as mimico [04:04] KM0201: no it happens with 11.04 and 10.10 [04:04] KM0201: so not unity [04:04] GSF1200S: I need to re-load the driver that was installed when I first installed it. [04:04] realitychanger, WAIT before you run that [04:04] KM0201: ill give you a scenario of what happens OK [04:04] realitychanger, what driver/card? [04:05] GSF1200S: gotcha...waiting [04:05] KM0201: I install 10.10, works perfectly , install ANY nvidia drivers, it logs into a black screen with no workarounds working (trying for the 4th day now) [04:05] GSF1200S: laptop/nvidia/9800M GS [04:05] RP64: if it's happening with 10.10 and 11.04, then i can almost guarantee you, the problem will still be present in Mint [04:05] realitychanger, ok, let me just be thorough here- what is the current issue? [04:05] so what other distro is comparable to ubuntu in ease of use, like i heard redhat linux is way too hard for an unexperienced user [04:06] KM0201: i mean I need to use a linux distro because I hate windows, but ubuntu just isn't working with this computer's graphics card [04:06] RP64: my 6150 geforce works in Natty here [04:06] RP64: the best distro is one you understand. The best way to have no issues, be stable, and to generally have a good experience is one you know [04:06] RP64: well, my 7600 works flawlessly, so i can't understand why you're having this issue w/ an 8000 [04:06] what kind of laptop is it? [04:06] ActionParsnip: OK but so? [04:06] RP64: maverick is fully supported, I'd just hang with Maverick [04:06] ActionParsnip: whats maverick again 10.04? === JimmyJ_ is now known as JimmyJ [04:06] How can I bind Shift-Arrowkey in screen? [04:06] GSF1200S: I was able to log in just fine until I tried to install nvidia's proprietary driver from the command line. I did it with kdm off, and at a normal prompt window. Initially, it said that the distro specific install script failed, but I went an built the module anyway. Now x won't start at boot time. [04:07] RP64: are you installing the recommended driver from hardware drivers, or are you installing the driver from nvidia? [04:07] RP64: 10.10, if you have Lucid running ok (10.04) then keep that too [04:07] ActionParsnip: parsnip [04:07] how would you do it so you can connect to an ubuntu box through ssh, run a command, and close the ssh client while the command is still running? [04:07] ActionParsnip: can I PM you my full explanation becasue u dont understand it but i understand ur busy [04:07] rp64, the problem is that "easy to use" distros dont encourage you to learn, so you dont know how to handle issues. Id suggest something more advanced like slackware or arch to learn, at which point ubuntu will make more sense (except specific elements, which youll learn on your own [04:07] ActionParsnip: can I please PM you it, it's not that hard its a short explanation but I explained it here already like 30 seconds ago and u didnt see it can I just PM it to you [04:08] RP64: PM away :) [04:08] KK [04:09] realitychanger, ok, when you get to console run that command I gave you. If that doesnt work, try "sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf". Ubuntu doesnt need X now, so either of those two should wipe the slate clean and get you back to a functioning desktop [04:09] GSF1200S: thank you. and thank goodness for cli and irssi ;) [04:09] realitychanger, after that, I would highly recommend either installing the nvidia proprietary driver from the repos OR finding a PPA with a newer nvidia driver [04:10] GSF1200S: Hey I know they dont encourage me to learn but I'd rather have something in between too hard and too easy like the way ubuntu is [04:10] if the newest is what your after [04:10] RP64, I agree man- Ubuntu is great in many ways. Thats what dual-boots are for ;) [04:11] GSF1200S: haha yea i just dont feel i have the willpower to learn coding and to take notes and memorize it and stuff [04:12] im just saying that it helps to understand things. I have Xubuntu on backup, and I personally run Arch now as my main. It IS a lot of learning at first, but I know whats going on because it is ENCOURAGED as a means to maintain the system. I know how to t/s and such because thats the "arch way" as they call it, but really it applies to any distro [04:13] something like slackware or arch is good in that way. But hey, ubuntu is fantastic too- if it works, stick with it [04:13] Is there a command for the terminal to look at your network profile i.e. see which applications are being used, which ports, etc. [04:14] hello [04:14] JetBoyJetGirl: netstat [04:14] JetBoyJetGirl, hold on the ports- ive got a command saved somewhere. You can try nethogs to see what programs are sending/receiving data [04:14] california [04:15] GSF1200S: interesting yea food for thought by the way if I tried Arch would it possibly support this card that Ubuntu isn't ? [04:15] hello [04:16] awesome soreau, thanks! Thanks GSF1200S... think netstat was what I was lookin for. [04:16] hi elaine_, do you have a question about ubuntu? [04:16] how can I move unity 2d's bar to the other side or other display? [04:16] sure [04:16] aways [04:16] RP64, its not Arch that supports the card- its the driver itself. Now, since Arch is rolling release and is potentially more up-to-date, it may work. However, I would suggest searching for a PPA that has newer drivers available. That would be much easier than installing Arch, unless you want to install Arch for other reasons [04:16] ! ask | elaine_ [04:16] elaine_: 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. :-) [04:16] I do have ubuntu on my pc [04:16] JetBoyJetGirl: sudo netstat -tulp (l = listen = servers); sudo netstat -tuep (clients = established = e); iftop; [04:17] I like the fact that ubuntu actually works [04:17] GSF1200S: Wait I don't even know what a PPA is [04:17] and if I have a problem I can talk to someone online [04:18] ty [04:18] I have a problem with my desktop; when playing videos, the audio lags, is this a common problem since my laptop doesn't have this issue? [04:18] personal package archive is what the acronym stands for I believe.. lemme look quick.. [04:19] RP64, https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates [04:19] seems my window manager is having some issues. there is no title bar or close/minimize etc around anything anymore. tried reinstalling xfce but still having problems anyone able to point me in the direction of a solution? [04:19] GSF1200S: OK so you think I should reinstall, and then , look through PPA archives for different driver options ? [04:20] this is a "PPA" that offers new updates on Xorg and nvidia, for example. Youll find these PPA's for all kinds of things [04:20] GSF1200S: so I access PPA how [04:20] RP64, no man- linux is not windows. Reinstalling isnt necessary unless something is really screwed up, like the kernel wont boot [04:20] GSF1200S: dude my ubuntu is unusable [04:21] RP64, ok, in what way exactly? [04:21] linux is not windows..hallelueah [04:21] GSF1200S: I have to reinstall because it black screens after logging into the account, and workarounds don't work, and I've spent 4 days trying to fix it [04:21] type startx once you've logged in [04:21] buenas noches [04:21] Then if that works [04:21] Cephlin: DUDE!!! WHAT THE HELL? I just SAID I CANT LOG IN BECAUSE IT BLACK SCREENS AT LOG IN [04:21] alguien puede ayudarme [04:21] LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL [04:22] black screen...? [04:22] uh oh [04:22] elaine_: YEAH, it means its a black screen, get it ? not purple [04:22] Can you bring up a terminal? [04:22] yep [04:22] maybe you fried the motherboard [04:22] hi guys, would it be a good way to speed up my system by moving my swap partition on an SD card? [04:23] or does nothing respond? [04:23] RP64, did you append nomodeset to the kernel line in grub? [04:23] GSF1200S: Hey and so anyways nomodeset doesn't work, and nouveau.blacklist=1 works for like a bit but then if i fullscreen a youtube video or something it crashes and the problem repeats and nothing works [04:23] ouch [04:23] haha [04:23] fixed, xfwm4 --replace [04:23] GSF1200S: Yea and so , basically nomodeset doesn't work nouveau.blacklist=1 works until you fullscreen a flash app, and also sometimes screws up if you move the mouse onto an icon, and after a while it becomes completely unusuable. [04:23] wow, this is great. [04:23] GSF1200S: I reinstalled and it works perfectly until you install nvidia drivers [04:24] Does anyone know anything about audio lagging when playing video files through any kind of video player? [04:24] Do I need to manually install some audio drivers? [04:24] GSF1200S: So basically the default open driver that it installs with works perfectly, but it just sucks so I would be getting a better experience using my Vista install and i hate vista [04:24] GSF1200S: See what I mean now ? [04:25] Hi, how do I "hide" a running application from the Unity launcher? [04:25] there is this wonderful place in ubuntu...the software center [04:25] even I can use it [04:25] The support in here is excellent, thanks guys! [04:26] hi folks [04:26] RP64, hmmm.. well, I would suggest trying that PPA first if you reinstall. have you tried the latest nvidia from the Cli? I apologize if i should know this- I am getting bombarded from multiple channels! [04:26] guys = guys or girls :P [04:26] is there a software equivalient to this, http://www.gnu.org/s/guile-rpc/ [04:26] the software center is why you put ubuntu on your pc [04:26] <[fields]> how do I know if I am 32bit or 64bit ? [04:26] hi guys, would it be a good way to speed up my system by moving my swap partition on an SD card? [04:27] how do you get bombarded by multiple channels? [04:27] GSF1200S: OK I just don't know how to use PPA . But yea I used all Nvidia options from the menu that pops up after you install, current and 173 [04:27] RP64, yeah that sucks. For the record im using 2 9800 GTX's running separate X-sessions with no issue on Xubuntu and Arch, so.. strange. Does your laptop have an intel and nvidia card- that switching crap I cant remember the name of [04:27] by having more than one conversation across different channels [04:27] GSF1200S: yea it has intel centrino 2, and graphics card is nvidia [04:27] geforce [04:28] centrino, oh yeah baby [04:28] [fields]: uname -m [04:28] do you open up more than one terminal... [04:28] RP64: its easy- you go to the ubuntu software center-->software sources--> then add a new entry- you add the PPA name they give you on the PPA page [04:28] No-one knows anything about audio lagging when playing videos in ubuntu? [04:28] [fields] uname -m [04:28] <[fields]> StepNjump: i686 [04:28] Cephlin: the same happens in smplayer? [04:28] or rather audio being out of sync [04:29] [fields] thats 32 bits [04:29] GSF1200S: OK I'll reinstall, then try it out [04:29] [fields]: is 32 bits [04:29] sudo apt-get ?? for wine? [04:29] <[fields]> big thank you. [04:29] yes, the software center...download and search and there it is [04:29] install [04:29] GSF1200S: thanks for help [04:30] SIFTU: I've not tried smplayer, i'll give that a go, but I have tried VLC, the default movie player and also banshee [04:30] vlc is awesome [04:30] thats 64 bit [04:30] Yes but on my desktop all video is broken :( [04:30] My laptop is cool though :) [04:30] RP64: ill be around- hit me up if you have any more issues [04:31] I know X issues suck [04:31] GSF1200S: cool thx man BTW are u sure that is safe? because it says its untrusted lol [04:31] had my share of those at first with ubu back in the day ;) [04:31] gsf are you channel host? [04:31] GSF1200S: haha thx you have true linux spirit of helpfulness, OK ill be back after reinstall [04:31] ive used that PPA without issue- its telling you that because, well, if you dont know the person who runs the PPA, how can you trust them [04:32] cool- see you- good luck [04:33] bye..will be back with a question [04:34] I [04:34] Does any of you guys have a clue how to emulate a rs232 serial connection using rfcomm (bluetooth) in ubuntu? [04:35] have I been blocked [04:35] bfn [04:36] I want to issue some AT commands through minicom [04:37] using the bluetooth modem [04:39] hi all [04:39] my Xorg is hang out, how could I fix this? [04:40] blackbuntu is the bomb!! [04:40] backtrack Rlz [04:40] xD [04:40] no blackbuntu al the way [04:41] lol [04:41] both blackbuntu and backtrack are not supported here and are also offtopic [04:43] has someone got transmission 2.33 to download anything? [04:44] pinsraPnoitcA [04:46] ntr0py: can you pastebin the output of: apt-cache policy transmission; lsb_release -a use a pastebin to hold the result please [04:49] ActionParsnip: it just wont start to download any torrents: http://paste.ubuntu.com/700859/ [04:49] ntr0py: I use trans 2.33 with no issues so far [04:49] ntr0py: you are using a 3rd party ppa which we cannot suport here. I suggest you contact the PPA maintainer [04:50] almoxarife: weird do you know where i can get any error msg? [04:51] ntr0py: errors can be seen real time in help>message log [04:52] I'll just need after to be told what code Craigslist sent you. [04:55] hi, I am trying to make a sdcard mountable when I insert it. I just re-formatted it to fat32 (for my digital camera), but when I insert it it says "failed to mount device you do not have the permissions".. [04:56] anyone please help me ? [04:56] I used gparted to format it [04:56] csemple: what groups are you in? [04:56] well, delete the partition, create a partition, and format [04:57] ActionParsnip, I don't know how to find that out [04:58] I opened Users and groups, went to manage groups and there is about 30 groups I am in [04:58] almoxarife: it always worked for me b4, but now it wont start downloading any torrents without errors (except some trackers gave response code 0 [ no response ]) which may prevent it from using the other (working) trackers? [04:58] the group for the sd card is root [05:00] I need help with setting up my vpn can anyone help [05:00] ntr0py: I don't think your issues are related to trans itself, easy enough to check though, use another bittorrent client, something avail in synaptic or what ever you use, stay way from ppa's , played with firewalls? [05:01] ActionParsnip, ok this is my prob. I remove and then reinsert the sd card, and a message pops up saying "you do not have permissions to mount this device" [05:01] I am using Xubuntu 10.04 [05:01] and I have Nautilus installed as a file-manager [05:01] almoxarife: yes other clients work with those torrents [05:01] i've downloaded the source drivers for my printer (canon mg5240). I had to download two source packages, one for the printer - one for the scanner - should i just compile both sources? there isn't much in the README file? [05:01] whenever i put headphones to ubuntu , speaker volume is not getting switched off at all , please help me do that [05:02] I have tried reformatting the thing I don't know how to change the group of the device [05:02] ntr0py: so you have a broken trans from a ppa? get rid of the ppa-trans , get the version now avail via normal method, bet it will work [05:03] setting up ubuntu server 11.04, and I keep getting "Don't seem to have all the variables for eth0/inet" when I try to 'sudo ifup eth0' [05:03] can any one help me set up a vpn [05:03] I try changing the group of the device (/media/disk) using nautilus (run as root), but even then it still says I don't have permission ??!?! [05:04] almoxarife: i will purge it and its ~/.config/transmission and try to reinstall it... maybe some weird settings from the stock ubuntu version prevent it from starting torrents... [05:05] well guess I have to ask in ##linux [05:05] thanks for the try you guys [05:05] whenever i put headphones to ubuntu , speaker volume is not getting switched off at all , please help me do that [05:05] can any one help me set up a vpn [05:08] jakemp-home: What are you trying to do exactly? [05:08] just set up a static IP [05:08] please help me do it ?

[05:09] I don't believe so [05:09] jakemp-home: pastebin you /etc/network/interfaces [05:09] almoxarife: now it works as expected... weird now i will never now what prevented it from staring to download after it scraped the trackers since it did not throw any errors at me... thanx anyways..

[05:21] oh [05:22] sattu94: ls -l /etc/init.d/script [05:22] sattu94: See if it has executable flag set [05:22] on whatever script it's calling [05:22] soreau: no, i know, it's just that the symlinks point towards an upstart-job [05:22] sattu94: What is the line from ls -l? [05:22] soreau: the* [05:23] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2011-08-07 20:31 mysql -> /lib/init/upstart-job [05:23] soreau: so i was wondering, if change it to -x will it affect upstart-job? [05:23] Does anyone here know why Firefox 7 does not respect the subpixel font rendering settings of Gnome? [05:23] sattu94: When it is running, does 'ps ax|grep -i mysql' show a process running? [05:23] soreau: and multiple symlinks point to the same upstart-job. [05:24] ntr0py: screenshot? [05:24] soreau: yes, it does. [05:24] ntr0py: are there any bugs reported? [05:25] soreau: i havent done anything yet. though. [05:25] sattu94: Then remove the executable bit from that process though.. the main one [05:25] ntr0py: does it act the same with a vanilla firefox profile? [05:25] soreau: in this case mysqld? [05:25] sattu94: Yes, that sounds like it [05:26] Hi soreau. [05:26] May I message you in private?

[05:26] soreau, ActionParsnip: my lcd uses BGR instead of RGB rendering i had to patch libcairo2 to respect the Gnome settings (it always used RGB rendering), now all apps expect ff7 use BGR rendering... [05:26] Alright, I feel like an idiot, I've upgraded to 11.10, but now in nautilus the "up" button is gone (to navigate to the parent directory) ... how do I switch it on?

[05:29] Kaleidoscope: mount -o loop /path/to/image.iso /path/to/mount/point [05:29] ntr0py: I have no idea. [05:29] soreau: no. i know. what i am saying is that there are multiple links (that i'll be -x ing) pointing to /lib/init/upstart-job [05:29] But it's a duallayer iso disc [05:29] I'll try that [05:30] sattu94: Is mysqld not a process of it's own? (is it a symlink?) [05:30] soreau: there is no mysqld script in init.d and "mysql" is a symlink. [05:31] sattu94: Well you'd have to track down the actual process it's running.. usually something in an sbin or bin directory [05:31] how should ubuntu be installed from flash stick onto uefi system?

I dont wanna use the nouveau driver because it isn't good enough and it's a powerful card so it's worth getting it in use [05:48] ntrly_ow: Should work fine.. I usually ditch NetworkManager/nm-applet and use scripts to connect though [05:48] ok [05:48] ntrly_ow: wpa_supplicant [05:49] almoxarife: now its 11 PM on the 4th day of trying to fix this and there's no answers anywhere [05:49] almoxarife: so that's why im using a PPA [05:49] RP64: What kind of sound card is it as reported by lspci?

O.o i dont have 10 displays! [06:11] tsaknorris: That doesn't mean you have 10 displays [06:11] it just means DISPLAY is set to that value which means X is probably running on display 10 [06:13] soreau: hmm so why in some examples if somebody has external lcd monitor etc they use :1.0 [06:13] tsaknorris: That's not true either [06:14] On most setups, everything runs on :0.0, even on dual head configuration [06:14] iwant to use my gnome-session remotely through ssh [06:14] that's fine [06:14] ssh has nothing to do with X [06:15] (even though there is an X option) [06:15] yes i use it -X [06:15] $ ssh -X user@host [06:15] tsaknorris: Perhaps you just want remote desktop? [06:15] yes i have done evertything ssh client and sshd has all forwarded etc [06:15] i want to start firefox in remote computer [06:17] tsaknorris: So do ssh -X user@host and then login and run firefox [06:17] tsaknorris: export DISPLAY=:0; firefox > dev/null 2>&1 [06:17] soreau: that will make the firefox app show on the client system [06:17] soreau: i did that and it will open firfox (with my own bookmarks) so its not good [06:17] tsaknorris: where do you want the app to appear? [06:18] ActionParsnip: to my client screen not to the server [06:18] tsaknorris: so like a thin client? [06:19] tsaknorris: ssh -X -C name@server then run the browser, it will show on your client [06:19] tsaknorris: the processing, including sound will be done at the server side. [06:19] ok wait. i try that [06:19] tsaknorris: Alternatively, you can do ssh user@host (without -X) and run DISPLAY=:0 appname [06:20] or whatever DISPLAY is set to on the box you're sshing into [06:20] hmm still it opens my own firefox :/ [06:21] tsaknorris: Ok let's start over [06:21] in server firefox has different bookmarks [06:21] tsaknorris: are you sure you are SSHd?

[08:23] ntr0py: i wouldnt know about all that [08:23] Bluez is the canonical Bluetooth stack for Linux. is a the topic [08:23] :cjs yes, install icedtea-web and openjdk6 [08:24] TIP88: I'll try that. The web page I saw gave another name that was a non-existent package, so I just tried installing the Sun JDK, which gave me no love.

[09:11] xistance: You didn't put a / before home [09:11] xistance: So it's looking for home in whatever directory you were in when you ran the command [09:11] why [09:12] ubuntu is a free os [09:12] who use openvpn? [09:12] open os too [09:12] xistance: I just can't believe anyone would pay for this crap. Did you actually purchase a ticket to watch live stuff? [09:13] what is openvpn [09:14] hi i am using the driver module "iwl3945" in order to get connected to my wireless router. The minute i get connected and run a speedtest with speedtest.net i get almost a max speed of about d: 10mbits/s. If i do the test 5 minutes later the speed drops down to 1 mbit/s. If i reconnect to my wireless router the test results go up to the 10mbits/s rail. Does any have a clue of what is going on? The speed setting of the wireless adapter stays at about [09:14] 24mbits/s at all times.

I can't make it work in Ubuntu [09:22] naftilos76: See 'modinfo iwl3945' for options (params) and reload the module with 'sudo rmmod iwl3945 && sudo modprobe iwl3945 option=value' [09:22] kyoushuu: try vlc, it will play anything [09:22] naftilos76: Not saying that any option will fix it, but it's something to try at least [09:22] I already tried it, but it has no video. [09:23] seems libx264-116 is compiled for 8-bit :( [09:23] Ah.. alright [09:24] soreau: thanks. reloading the module probably fixes the problem. i am looking for a permanent solution but it seems that this has been a bug for many distros and still remains [09:25] naftilos76: I mean load the module with options different than the defaults [09:27] Is it possible to request to packagers to add 10-bit support to the package "libx264-116"? A configure option is available for it. If yes, how and where I could request it? [09:27] hi [09:27] does anybody know how to change default mount options on 11.04 ? [09:27] I don't see /system/storage in gconf-editor anymore [09:28] Lesnix: what do you want to change? [09:28] Mikey^, fmask and dmask [09:28] Lesnix: /etc/fstab? [09:28] Mike_L_, it's not applicable for USB drives [09:28] I just installed 10.10 and wanted to change my home folder location before I proceed with any upgrades. How can I do this , easily if at all, through the desktop menus? [09:28] soreau: i don't know how to add the extra or different option to the module other than doing modprobe 'module' -r and reloading it [09:28] Ah.. USB ok [09:29] Mike_L_, have you any other ideas ? [09:29] No.. [09:29] Lesnix: I usually mount USB drives from comamndline [09:29] naftilos76: I just told you..

[10:19] ·_· [10:19] let me try.. [10:19] Neroon: what's your problem exactly? [10:20] Stanley00: Ubuntu boots fine, XP just gives me the blinking cursor and I've been trying almost everything for 3 days now (almost nonstop) [10:20] Neroon, again perm. denied [10:21] nailox: Then I don't know, sorry [10:21] np [10:21] Stanley00: XP is on sda2, ubuntu on sda1 [10:21] nailox: mine has sgid perm for /var/mail [10:22] Where is grub2's install device held in ubuntu config files? (the device the loader is written to each time you install a kernel via apt, not the device holding /boot)? [10:22] Neroon: hmm, blink cursor for XP, look like some XP issue... [10:23] somewhere in /etc/grub.d?

[10:27] Hi [10:27] Stanley00: grub1 had map, grub2 has devicemap but i found only how to remap 2 different hdds [10:27] What plugin do I need to get midis working on ubuntu? [10:28] hi [10:29] Stanley00: so the line in grub.cfg I tried was devicemap (hd0) (hd1) but imho that only would map harddisk 1 to harddisk 2 [10:29] when I change the amplification of the microphone until reaching a good level, it automatically goes up, how to prevent this strange behaviour ? [10:29] oCean: I try to install mysql-server and libc6 gets an error, then i try to install libc6 and this happens http://paste.ubuntu.com/700961/ [10:29] Stanley00: And I can't find any detailed information about devicemap anywhere ...

[10:32] Mangeh: that's a nasty error, but I think you should start updating your current system. Or do all apt-get actions give you these errors? [10:32] oCean: yes, everything i try to install gets a libc6 error [10:33] I did many tests [10:33] oCean: you're saying i should re-install the OS? [10:33] Mangeh: have you tried a sudo dpkg --configure -a ? [10:33] However I do not know how to do :( [10:33] oCean: No, i will try that [10:33] thghffdhjnfxhjf [10:33] Have you any ideas? [10:34] oCean: i got a segmentation fault again.

[10:39] oCean: http://paste.ubuntu.com/700966/ [10:39] Jordan_U I'll give it a try later, thanks [10:40] Have you ever had a similar problem? [10:41] Neroon: It's definitely worth the hastle of re-connecting things as without boot info script output it's difficult to determine the problem, though at a guess I would say that you probably either moved the start of the Windows partition (Windows' bootloader can't cope with that) or accidentily installed grub to the Windows PBR (you should never install grub to a partition). [10:41] Mangeh: hmm, we're in some kind of nasty loop here. We have to find a way to configure libc6, not sure how yet [10:42] cristian_c, Perhaps some one in ##hardware has experienced the same problem? [10:42] Neroon: I seriously doubt that grub itself is misconfigured in any way. [10:42] Sidewinder1, Thanks! :D [10:42] NP [10:42] Jordan_U actually it's a image (clonezilla) and it works when sitting all alone on the first partition (primary) of a hdd [10:43] Jordan_U and I need it to run on sda2 with ubuntu on sda1 [10:44] Jordan_U and the thing is, it worked perfectly even on a logical partition with w2k [10:45] Neroon: The start of the partition (as in the position on the disk, not the partition number) is hard coded in the Windows bootloader. You can't clone a Windows partition and have it still be bootable unless the clone also starts at the exact same sector as the original or the boot sector is fixed for the new partition start. [10:45] using scp -P port -r folder username@ip:destinationfolder keeps adding the same folders again and again, just in lower leves for some reason - what am i doing wrong ? [10:45] saureno: I'm on my phone comp wont boot up [10:46] Neroon: That is your problem, ##windows can probably help you with correcting the boot sector to account for the new starting sector.

Some tools will automatically fix the boot sector when copying a Windows partition, but a straight bit for bit copy will never work if the starting sector changes. [10:50] See that & help me solve wine problem^^ [10:50] Jordan_U: Hey, how do you load the grub boot menu in Natty? [10:50] surround: why are you using firefox through wine?

If all sections are missing (i.e. file is empty or doesn't exist), it autoconfigures, well, everything [10:53] gentoo64: so what were you talking about when you said "to make one " [10:53] RP64, vim / nano whatever on that file and save it [10:53] then itll be made [10:53] Mangeh: FIrefox is not a problem , problem is BLACK bars that appear while scrolling mouse over menu [10:53] gentoo64 I dont know what vim or nano is [10:53] Mangeh: I'm not sure, but I think booting a livecd and installing a previous version of libc6 in your mounted installation might be the only way. Since your libc6 is currently half configured [10:53] RP64, in terminal do sudo touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf [10:53] see it now? [10:53] oCean: what is a livecd?

But not sure to be honest [10:55] Mangeh: aw, that's a bigger problem then. Again, I am not sure, but it may require a re-install. Of course, you can ask here how to fix the half-configured libc6 [10:55] gentoo64: How'd that work why can I see it now ? [10:56] RP64: No, it was simply a command to create the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf But please do answer jrib's question about why you aren't using the "Additional Drivers" tool. [10:56] oCean: i will ask for a reinstall.

If you don't have a Windows setup, honestly can not help [10:57] Sidewinder1, on ##hardware I have been told that my hardware is working fine, but my software isn't bottom line is, my keyboard is generating signals just fine. KeyTouch is not interpretting them correctly [10:57] with 10.10, I install ubuntu it works fine, right now as an example, but as soon as I install the drivers for nvidia, my computer blackscreens whenever I log in [10:57] Jordan_U Thanks for pointing me in another direction (xp, grub2). I may have found a method now to make it work. [10:57] *interpreting === XLV_ is now known as XLV [10:57] Arial700: how is that an ubuntu question? [10:57] Neroon: You're welcome. [10:57] so basically, I tried all the workarounds for that, none of them worked, nomodeset , etc. etc. [10:57] for 3 days I tried [10:58] Arial700: You're better off asking in #lfs :/ [10:58] theadmin: I have windows7 [10:58] so I finally just thought, I'll install the drivers off the official Nvidia website and if that doesn't work I'll just try another distro [10:58] RP64: you get to the login screen without issues after installing the nvidia drivers the supported way? [10:58] Arial700, ofc you can [10:58] RP64: try the beta of 11.10 yet? nvidia works better in it for me i noticed. [10:58] dialup: In which folder uxtheme.dll situated [10:58] what? it just turns on, shows the login screen, I log in and it blackscreens [10:58] surround: Might do just fine. Open it, search for uxtheme.dll in the windows folder, copy it to anywhere on your Ubuntu system, run winecfg, and dll-override it [10:58] jrib it blackscreens when you log in so thats a huge problem, i tried all workarounds for 3 days [10:59] cristian_c, I'm sorry I can't assist; my keyboard is very, very old and I'm not familiar with yours. :-( [10:59] jrib and also this can't be that bad of a method , it's from nvidia's own website [10:59] theadmin: Let me check [10:59] RP64: did the classic session work ok? [10:59] jrib what , no sessions work after I install those drivers [10:59] oCean, theadmin : You are true.. I'm posting simultaniously ! B'se someone here might have tried it! [10:59] Sidewinder1, thanks anyway for the support :) [10:59] jrib what do you mean classic session [10:59] :D [10:59] RP64: gdm works. but not the actual desktop - thats an interesting bug. i wonder what happens if you would use a simple window manager like openbox or icewm [11:00] RP64: at the login screen you can choose different sessions [11:00] jrib I can get into recovery session but none of the methods that would fix such a problem work, believe me I tried for 3 days straight [11:00] Arial700: We only support Ubuntu in here... Check #ubuntu-offtopic [11:00] jrib that's why im finally trying this and if it doesn't work i'll do a different distro [11:00] but this should work [11:00] Arial700: don't, first it's not polite to crosspost, second this channel is for ubuntu support only [11:00] i mean i want to use ubuntu [11:01] RP64: whats the exact nvidia chipset? [11:01] dr_willis: it's 9700GM i think its called [11:01] dr_willis: not GM what's the code for their notebook series [11:02] dr_willis: GeForce 9700M GT [11:02] what is ppa ? [11:02] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu [11:03] oCean, theadmin : Alright :) Thanks anyways!! :) [11:03] !ppa | kaellan [11:03] kaellan: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

Id try adding a low-end window manager like openbox and see if it works, then try making a new user, see if that works in any sessions. (openbox and gnome) then if all else fails. try out the beta of 11.10 i found nvidia worked much better for my 'problem' nvidia boxes in 11.10. [11:03] ubottu is a bot though XD [11:03] Mangeh: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [11:03] ocean:ppa:gwibber-daily/ppa is corect or how d i find ? [11:04] kaellan: please follow the links ubottu gave you, using ppa's is explained there [11:04] !addppa > kaellan [11:04] kaellan, please see my private message [11:04] dr_willis: I'm for sure it's a driver issue because im on ubuntu perfectly fine right now using nouveau [11:04] I have a problem with a dual boot installation on a thinkpad x121e (3051): windows 7 64bit somehow had a third partition during installation (boot partition?), after that i tried to install ubuntu and now there doesn't come grub (i installed grub on the correct hard drive in the mbr [tried it twice]) after the ubuntu installation finishes and i restart [11:04] !addppa > Mangeh [11:04] Mangeh, please see my private message [11:04] RP64: thats amuseing.. i find Nouveau dosent work at ALL for me on my 3 nvidia systems. :) [11:05] RP64: do what dr_willis said first. Note that there was also an issue with the nvidia driver (which should be fixed in 11.04) where it would try to use external display as default display and an option needed to be added to xorg.conf to workaround this (it is (was?) mentioned in the wiki hovewer) [11:05] dr_willis: lol strange but maybe it's because my card is from 2008 and i heard the newer ubuntus stopped legacy support but i think its silly 2008 is legacy [11:05] nouveau has much less issues [11:05] theadmin: Ifound two files which one to copy one with only dll extension or one with .dll.mui extension [11:05] i had many more issues with nouveau. but it does depend on your exact chipset. [11:05] jrib: why should I do what he said first I'm certain it's a driver issue [11:06] what to type in the "ppa:user/ppa-name" part of sudo add-apt-repository ppa:user/ppa-name ? [11:06] RP64: to be certain [11:06] RP64: if you dont want suggestions then.. well.. good luck. [11:06] dr_willis: I do want suggestions but i just know for sure its driver I was just saying because he told me to do that thing you said first [11:06] RP64: the driver in the repositories is the driver from nvidia. The advantage is you get automatic updates [11:07] show [11:07] dr_willis and jrib : I dont even know what compiz is im not skilled with all of this so basically I dont want to do that step because I dont even know how to and im really tired from doing this all for 4 days now lol [11:07] and its like 4 AM [11:07] I started trying to fix this again at 3 PM [11:07] i suck at it [11:07] RP64: compiz is the window manager that gives you fancy eye candy. If noveau works.. then use noveau i guess.. [11:07] RP64, basically do you want games? [11:08] dr_willis: but I hate nouveau because my card is really really good and I need the official driver otherwise I would just use vista [11:08] RP64: like I suggested, choose "classic" as your session from the login screen. dr_willis suggested you try an even more basic session such as icewm or openbox and then try logging in with a different user [11:08] gentoo64: I don't want games but I want my money's worth for display experience [11:08] jrib: Oh you mean change the session if it , right OK [11:08] so theres no actual 'problem' with useing noveau? you just feel cheated? huh? [11:08] RP64, nvidia has 3d accel (games) which you dont want and vdpau (accelerated video) which you may want. apart from that nouveau is fine for normal use and less issues / bugs in genreal [11:08] jrib and dr_willis : But basically my computer isn't blackscreening right now so I can't test dr willis's method [11:09] RP64: so install the nvidia driver through additional drivers and reboot :) [11:09] gentoo64: It's just I watch lots of movies including blu ray rips [11:09] gentoo64: you know, for movies, shows, things like that I want the best out of my card [11:09] RP64, what happenes when you install it from additional drivers then? nvidia will be best for movies [11:09] You may want to break down and try 11.10.. if it has the same issue. definatly file a bug report on it. [11:09] in players that support vdpau (mplayer2 etc) [11:09] gentoo64: when I install it from additional drivers? Like I said before , that causes the black screen of death which made me reinstall [11:10] ah ok thats common in here [11:10] lol [11:10] kaellan: you use the name as specified in the launchpad page for that ppa, just under "Adding this ppa to your system" [11:10] gentoo64: what's vdpau lol [11:10] RP64, so it plays videos with the gpu instead of the cpu [11:10] makes them not tear too [11:10] gentoo64: in what case it does that? [11:11] Any idea how to debug a journal write hang that is not causing any kernel messages, beyond a jbd2 kernel thread that is stuck in D? [11:11] How do i remove Q:lines from UnrealIRC? [11:11] RP64, if you have a movie mplayer say mplayer2 it will use vdpau if its supported [11:11] theadmin: i opened wine cfg [11:11] RP64: you don't have to reinstall, you just use recovery mode and disable the driver. You can use jockey-text to do so or just delete your /etc/X11/xorg.conf [11:11] ie you have nvidia drivers installed [11:11] surround: Find the dll overrides section and do your thing [11:11] jrib: Oh really? what would I enter into the recovery's terminal [11:11] jrib: to do that [11:12] Gentoo64: Oh I see so that's a better way to view movies then? [11:12] (Ubuntu 10.04.3LTS, ext4fs on LUKS/LVM hdd, journal_dev on LVM/SSD. The SSD contains also the rootfs => and that stays fully responsive) [11:12] How do I get Wine to run a game full-screen? [11:12] RP64: in recovery mode, choose root prompt, type and use "jockey-text" [11:12] RP64, yea but its not needed at all ... you can play videos fine without vdpau [11:12] data=journal mode too. [11:13] theadmin: there is option but it is not allowing me to override uxtheme with my uxtheme that i had copied from windows [11:13] Gentoo64 and jrib: So can I install these drivers from Nvidia's website and if it causes blackscreen, just uninstall the drivers through recovery mode 's terminal [11:13] RP64, yes [11:13] RP64: sure, but then you won't be able to use jockey. You'd have to read nvidia documentation. [11:13] nvidias drivers have an uninstall script [11:13] jrib: What?? jockey is nvidia's own tool to delete it's driver? [11:13] surround: Well, I don't use Wine so I can't keep on guessing [11:13] RP64, everyone i know hasnt solved the black screen problem by installing them manually though [11:13] jrib: oh it's ubuntus tool [11:14] I'm having a issue with a curl request http://pastie.org/2626219 I get "one or more items required" from the server and to my knowledge I'm passing a perfectly good item according to: http://trakt.tv/api-docs/lists-items-add [11:14] jrib: what is jockey??? [11:14] Gentoo64: Oh OK , someone here suggested it before OK I won't do it then [11:15] RP64, jockey is ubuntus driver thing [11:15] surround, Have you asked in #winehq? [11:15] Gentoo64: So the only 2 methods to delete a driver manually when facing a blackscreen crisis is with jockey, or to read commands from nvidia's own documentation? [11:16] RP64, yes jockey will remove it if installed from ubuntu, the other one will uninstall it if you manually done it [11:16] hi [11:16] Gentoo64: So what's the other one... are you saying if I get blackscreen after manually installing im stuck haha [11:17] Gentoo64: but getting blackscreen from ubuntu's installation im not stuck [11:17] RP64, id use nouveau tbh, ubuntu seems to have so many problems with nvidia [11:17] some body can help me??? [11:17] how to install driver for canon pixma ip2770 in ubuntu 11.04??? === tikohumsup_ is now known as Rajsun [11:18] Gentoo64: Really... but I figure it won't make my movies look as good. Infact I've looked through some movies and shows etc. and they dont look as good as when I use vista [11:18] RP64, its probably the player (vlc?) [11:18] Gentoo64: and youtube lags and doesn't HD properly [11:18] nvidia drivers shouldnt affect the image quality, but how much cpu usage it uses [11:18] Gentoo64: What... seriously ? [11:18] RP64, flash does support vdpau [11:19] Hi, i got little question, anybody here use some download managers like JDownloader? [11:19] Gentoo64: hold on are you 100% sure about this because I thought drivers did effect image quality [11:19] are there some good program like jdownloader, for ubuntu? i know i can launch jdownloader on linux too but i don't like this program [11:19] RP64, i use both nvidia and nouveau on 2 installs, they both look the same except nvidias are faster and dont tear [11:20] question about string manipulation http://pastebin.com/yuCAhz0W [11:20] Gentoo64: but maybe your nvidia card isn't a special high end one [11:20] how should i go about that? [11:20] RP64, theyre all the same for image quality [11:20] gentoo64: that doesn't make sense ... [11:20] it does [11:20] gentoo64: if they were all the same why would they sell different ones [11:20] RP64, better ones are faster for 3d [11:20] faster clocks, more shaders etc [11:21] Gentoo64: Right well wouldnt this better one I have be better for , processing speed of all video? Also, I noticed there's no shadows under anything [11:21] RP64, almost all modern nvidia cards support vdpau and should be able to play video using 0% cpu [11:21] Gentoo64: I managed to get my video working with nvidia for 30 seconds at one point usinv nouveau.blacklist=1 and the image quality improved there was more depth to the colours and also shadows under things that aren't there now [11:22] Gentoo64: it's not if they're able to but putting out its highest output possible that i want [11:22] RP64, the colors may be slightly different i noticed that too, nouveau seems slightly more washed out [11:22] gentoo64: I saw a difference in my display when it was working for 30 seconds [11:22] Gentoo64: aha see so you do admit there is a difference [11:22] RP64, i agree [11:22] but thats only some brightness thing basically [11:22] Gentoo64: exactly see so that's why I want to not use nouveau... i mean [11:23] gentoo64: I want to get the best out of my display otherwise I will just not enjoy using ubuntu it'll feel like a downgrade [11:23] i dont know how to fix the black screen [11:23] Gentoo64: i know, nobody does [11:23] i understand though, you got a good card you want to use nvidia. but from my experience lurking in here everyone has problems with nvidia on ubuntu [11:23] Gentoo64: should I try debian? [11:23] i dont know [11:24] Gentoo64: do you know of other distros compatibility with nvidia [11:24] hello [11:24] RP64, all of them [11:24] gentoo64 so which ones do you know have great compatibility with it [11:24] debian? [11:24] mint ? [11:24] ive never used debian [11:24] try mint [11:24] its basically uubntu and it might work [11:24] I am having trouble getting my mic to work on my new laptop. [11:24] hello [11:24] without problems [11:24] gentoo64 which ones have you tried [11:25] arch and gentoo [11:25] gentoo64: haha same as your name , but OK so did they work with nvidia drivers well ? [11:25] yea perfectly [11:25] Laptop: ASUS K53U AMD C-50 CPU w/ ATI graphics on chip. [11:25] gentoo64: by the way is your 64 in your name taken from nintendo 64 or commodore or [11:25] 64 bit [11:25] lol [11:25] Gentoo64: lol oh [11:25] its just my hostname [11:25] I am running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 32bit. [11:25] Gentoo64: OK but I haven't heard of gentoo is it mainly a developers distro [11:26] no [11:26] Gentoo64: what's it most useful for [11:26] RP64, id try mint [11:26] Any ideas? [11:26] RP64, cant explain offtopic [11:26] Gentoo64: can you PM it to me then [11:26] too long to explain. you probably wont like it if you dont know what vim or nano are [11:26] hello. how do i give an admin user full rights to all home folders? the admin user must be different from root, and other users must keep their full permissions on their home folder [11:26] Gentoo64: also are you saying that there's no point in downloading drivers off of nvidia's official website because it'll be the exact same thing as downloading it from ubuntu's source [11:27] Gentoo64: haha yea i probably wouldn't then [11:27] RP64, theres no harm in trying [11:27] Gentoo64: well if you're sure it wouldn't work though I 'd rather trust you instead of wasting time cus I am super tired lol [11:27] I am having trouble getting my mic to work on my new laptop. [11:27] RP64, you can uninstall them, but if your thinking of trying another distro then you got nothing to lose .. [11:27] Laptop: ASUS K53U AMD C-50 CPU w/ ATI graphics on chip. [11:27] I am running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 32bit. [11:27] Any ideas? [11:27] Gentoo64: OK I'll try it this way , last time, and then if this blackscreens I'll just install mint [11:28] RP64, what card is it btw? [11:28] Gentoo64: GeForce 9700M GT [11:28] I am having trouble getting my mic to work on my new laptop. [11:28] Laptop: ASUS K53U AMD C-50 CPU w/ ATI graphics on chip. [11:28] I am running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 32bit. [11:28] Any ideas? [11:29] bovv, try alsamixer [11:29] bovv: in Terminal, type alsamixer [11:29] thats the first thing you should try [11:29] sometimes trhe volumes are muted by default [11:29] Hey guys. If I've got a disk formatted with LVM can I add another disk into that later? So start with a 2TB disk, add another later and end up with what looks like a 2 TB disk [11:29] Gentoo64: http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_geforce_9700m_gt_us.html [11:29] Gentoo64, MonkeyDust: alsamixer.... ok.... also, it appears that my system is using pulseaudio for audio. [11:29] 4TB I meant [11:30] Trying alsamixer now. [11:30] RP64, i dont know about that card. nvidia drivers should work with all cards though [11:30] Gentoo64: haha but they don't :'( [11:30] bovv, alsamixer is the underlying base to pulse though [11:30] ;'( [11:30] Ah! [11:31] Gentoo64, MonkeyDust: here is the result from alsamixer: "This sound device does not have any capture controls." [11:32] Also, when I do an F2, it does not show any numbers next to sequencers. [11:33] what is it the "release key" === andrejpan_ is now known as andrejpan [11:34] bovv, im not sure [11:34] Gentoo64: Hey I have a problem here on manually installing the driver [11:34] i dont know much about all the sound stuff tbh. in the system settings in there a sound section [11:35] where you can tick box what cards are active? [11:35] RP64, whats it say? [11:35] Gentoo64: on ubuntu.com it tells me a step where I have to open " linux-restricted-modules-common " in etc/default, but i open that and it is completely empty [11:35] Is there some kind of paid service from Ubuntu? I really just want this to work and I would just be happy to pay them $50 just to get this working. [11:35] Gentoo64: it tells me i have to put in something to a line that should already be in it, but the whole document is empty [11:36] RP64, no idea about that. normally you extrack the file and run inthe install.run [11:36] Gentoo64: Oh can you tell me how to do that ? [11:36] did you extract the file? [11:36] Gentoo64: no , how would I [11:36] youll need nouveau blacklisted [11:36] is it still? [11:36] Gentoo64: OK im gonna follow your instructions lol [11:36] Gentoo64: instead because they make more sense [11:36] antnash, is your volume encrypted [11:37] Gentoo64: no because its a new install [11:37] hello ubuntu users. i want to memorize my SSH passphrase so i put: 1) keychain id_rsa id_dsa and 2) . ~/.keychain/$(uname -n)-sh in my .bashrc. but it won't remember the passphrase. suggestions? [11:37] how do i get stereo mix in audacity , i want to record something from a website stream ? [11:37] -am missing that option [11:37] Gentoo64: hey but if I'm gonna do your method then can you help me undo the step I did for ubuntu.com's method , because it made me download and install some package [11:37] Gentoo64: it said to input : sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r` [11:38] Gentoo64: so I did that and it installed something i dont even know what [11:38] RP64, to be honest id just try mint and do it the normal way [11:38] youll find this a royal pita [11:38] the headers for your virrent current version. :) [11:38] Gentoo64: haha too complicated aye [11:38] dr_willis : do you think I should just try mint too [11:39] RP64: i suggested trying the beta version of 11.10 earlier.. I dont care for mint. [11:39] dr_willis: oh right ,well i hate trying betas so ill just try mint [11:39] RP64, you can update the beta to final [11:39] if it all works well [11:39] RP64: id rather use a beta then mint.. final release is in 2 weeks anyway [11:40] OK im gonna install mint and Ill tell you guys if it works ! because I still love you even if I dont end up using ubuntu [11:40] well I know but [11:40] I just hate betas [11:40] even if they're good ones [11:40] go with whatever you want [11:40] RP64: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:40] and ive had no issues with nvidia in the beta its work better then the eralier releases [11:40] if you go with mint.. you wont get support here for it. [11:40] good luck getting support anywhere for it. :) [11:40] RP64, hopefully 11.10 will be an improvement as the current 11.04 seems terrible [11:40] dr_willis : haha yeah I know I would just come back to tell you that it worked [11:40] Gentoo64: Yeah I can't even boot up 11.04 nevermind login screen [11:41] Beta may work just as well or better.. better i imagibne. since it should be using newer stuff then whats in the current mint. [11:41] dr_willis: hmm can i just update from this to the beta of 11.10 then? instead of burning a disk? [11:41] yes [11:41] gentoo64: from 10.10 to 11.10? they let you ? [11:41] RP64: i would suggest its best to do a clean install of 11.10. upgrading can often cause issues. [11:41] id just do the disk [11:41] You can upgrade to 11.10 if you wanted. but i never do upgrades [11:42] otherwise you still got all the rubbish youre trying to get rid of in there [11:42] Gentoo64: should I boot into windows to burn it or can i just burn it thru ubuntu no probs [11:42] given that you have tried the nvidia drivers from the nvidia web site.. i definatly think a clean install is best [11:42] RP64, you can burn from ubuntu. but i thought you had a black screen? [11:42] hehe [11:42] Gentoo64: what? no I dont have a blackscreen at the moment because I didn't install nvidia yet [11:42] nvidia drivers * [11:42] ah ok [11:42] You can burn cd's from the console if you really wanted to. :) [11:42] linux is much better than windows beacuse you can always make upgrades to newer version [11:42] RP64, yea just burn it with brasero or whaevers built in [11:42] but.... [11:43] dr_willis: I actually didn't try the ones from the website yet [11:43] i don't recommend doing that [11:43] dr_willis: but I figure it's pointless [11:43] RP64, id clean install either way to rul out everything [11:43] how do i add a boot image to the disk with brasero ? [11:43] click burn image to disk [11:43] gentoo64: OK are betas as secure as non-betas? because security is important to me [11:43] K-Rich: remastering some sort of disk? [11:43] creating one [11:43] RP64, yes they should be, but not always as stable [11:44] RP64: at this time there shouldent be a lot of differance in beta vs final.

[11:47] Gentoo64: it made it so I stopped being harassed by a hacker and since I switched in 2008 to ubuntu that time, I never had security problems since [11:47] what should i do if a usb flash drive does not appear in fdisk -l? [11:47] I have lost my mint [11:47] RP64: Gentoo64, please move that discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic [11:47] mind [11:47] surround: Mint has its own support channels if you are using Mint. [11:47] ? [11:47] surround: no mint support here [11:47] oCean, is apparmor not supported in here? [11:47] oCean: we are talking about Ubuntu, not mint [11:47] oCean: what are you talking about [11:47] <}[Oo]{> i can't watch this anymore. [11:48] thanks [11:48] oCean: we're not talking about mint thanks anyways for your concern [11:48] ardia [11:48] RP64: your discussion about security on linux/windows is not a support topic. [11:48] RP64: I never said you were talking about mint [11:49] oCean, he was asking about ubuntu if itd be secure or not [11:49] oCean: why dont you mind your own business we were talking about a support issue in the first place [11:49] hi [11:49] #ubuntu [11:50] RP64, Gentoo64 Lots of discussion starting from a support issue end offtopic. I've followed your discussion to the point I don't want it to get more offtopic. [11:51] alright [11:51] kardia: you are already in channel #ubuntu [11:51] Gentoo64: OK i'll burn the beta of 11.10 now and see if it fixes things, by the way after I do that, would it smoothly upgrade into the final release of 11.10? [11:51] oCean: well shows how much of a life you have [11:51] RP64: better drop that attitude [11:51] RP64, yes. but any problems you'll have to join #ubuntu+1 instead of this channnel [11:51] oCean: im not gonna respond to you , you're a troll [11:52] Gentoo64: OK great ill try it [11:52] RP64, youll find it hard to get help if you get banned from here :p [11:52] RP64: stop being an ass.

[12:16] you install win7 first and then linux [12:17] yes thats how i did it [12:17] otherwise you must install grub after [12:17] but it didn't work [12:17] so i try again [12:17] i install windows almost every day, but i've never seen this bsr-partition [12:18] *msr [12:18] choose ntfs? [12:18] its probabaly because of an uefi [12:18] it replaces mbr, says technet [12:18] gparted is not working any time a flash drive is plugged in [12:18] to avoid the restrictions of 4 partitions [12:19] If I install ubuntu-desktop on a kubuntu machine is there anything I should remove or can it cause any problems?

Add them up to get different combinations for what you want then they go into three-digit permissions sets for owner,group,public in that order, i.e. 764 gives read/write/execute to owner, read/write to group and read to public [13:36] Mangeh: or, for enabled sites, /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/yourvhostname [13:38] test [13:38] 2+1= === JanC_ is now known as JanC [13:39] hi guys, if i wana putty to my linux box, do i need to set anyhing up on my linux box?

Lots of chatter in here.

But that won't necessarily revert changes you made to your system. It's a file backup utulity. [13:59] designz, Have a look at grsync, it's a front-end GUI for the rsync command. That's what I use to back-up. [13:59] Thanks guys! [13:59] Np [13:59] I'll give both of those a loop [13:59] *look [13:59] hello, alguien habla espaniol ?

But this has to be done for every restart. How can I make sure that this command runs automaticall? [14:06] i just want to make sure I have all the pre-req's before I try playing it over wine [14:07] inkit: you could use rc.local if the script doesn't require X but root access [14:07] XistancE Have you asked in #winehq? [14:07] inkit: else you can use the autostart of your desktop environment / window manager, or the .profile [14:08] I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition on my new laptop, that currently has Windows 7 on it.

[14:11] Sidewinder1: How do I install Ubuntu then? [14:11] Everytime Ubuntu updates it changes the grub file so that windows is no longer the default.... can I stop that from happening? [14:11] I use the [14:11] inkit: you can add the script in /etc/rc.local if the script doesn't need X. You can show me the script in a pastebin service if you are not sure [14:12] Solved, Did you read the link? About 1/2 way down it says "Installing Ubuntu Alongside Windows 7." [14:13] Sidewinder1: I see that, but I'm installing 10.10, and it doesn't give me the handy divider, only a partition table [14:14] http://paste.ubuntu.com/701052/ [14:14] How can I autorun it for every restart [14:14] inkit: you can put that in /etc/rc.local [14:14] Solved, Sorry, I can't help with 10.10; I use 10.04 and the link above is for 11.04 but the principals should be the same. [14:15] inkit: edit the file with an editor with root rights (e.g. sudo nano /etc/rc.local or gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local) and add this line to the bottom of the file [14:15] Hey all. [14:15] Can anyone help me to install Ubuntu 10.10? I'm confused as it does not give me a handy divider to split Windows and Ubuntu, only a partition table [14:16] Solved, Or if you prefer Gnome desktop, just install 11.04 and boot into "Classic." [14:16] Does it have a slider? [14:16] handy divider? do you have unused space on the drive? [14:17] could some one help me figure out what this dmesg | tail means: http://paste.ubuntu.com/701054/ ??? [14:17] Sidewinder1: Its a new laptop, and I just want to be safe with it and not install 11.04, as it is new and probably has a good deal of bugs [14:17] hi all [14:17] m_bisson: No, I can only chose between Erase and use the entire drive, or go to a partition table [14:17] Solved, 11.04 is not that new and is very stable [14:17] compdoc: I don't know if I have unused space D: [14:18] glebihan: More stable than 10.10? [14:18] Solved, Just make absolutely certain that you Defragment (from within Win), prior to any shrinking of the NTFS partition.

[14:19] Solved, 11.04 is current; 11.10 is going to be released in about two weeks. [14:19] Solved, yes. IMO the choice is currently between 10.04 and 11.04 [14:19] Solved: use the partition table to adjust how much Ubuntu gets and it should automatically avoid the windows stuff. [14:19] 11.10 isnt very stable [14:19] I've remove something such as xserver [14:19] Solved: Win7 has a "shrink partition" feature you should investigate [14:19] Solved, 10.10 is gonna get to its end of life next April [14:19] glebihan: Alright, I will go and get 11.04 then [14:19] yeats, Does that automatically defrag? [14:20] yeats: Thanks, I'll check that out [14:20] Sidewinder1: no, and I would still recommend defragging first [14:20] m_bisson: I'm lost by the partition table [14:20] Can anyone tell me how to keep windows as the default boot after Ubuntu updates? It always changes the grub file on its own... [14:20] Ya, edited.Hope that helps. need to restart to validate. and btw am new to irc.

[14:27] it lets you use more memory [14:27] hi [14:27] i want openvpn help [14:27] compdoc: What do you mean by more memory [14:27] Solved, yes 32bits is limited to about 3.6GB === XLV_ is now known as XLV [14:27] Posted the whole story here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/701059/ [14:27] Solved: No, but 32-bit only lets you address 4GB of RAM. 64-bit allows you to address more memory and also performs more efficiently I believe. [14:28] glebihan: LTS or latest update? [14:28] they do say 64bit programs can run faster [14:28] hah [14:28] 哈哈 [14:28] chinese???

[14:29] :p [14:29] where can i find chinese group?

Is there any way to 'upgrade' from 32 bit to 64 bit without reinstalling? [14:29] Solved, the choice between LTS or latest version is really yours to make [14:29] Solved, no [14:30] glebihan: Any advantage to one or the other? [14:30] Solved: most users will not be able to tell a difference (unless you have more than 3GB RAM, in which case you probably want 64-bit) [14:31] yeats: Ok, thanks [14:31] Solved, LTS is supported longer and may be slightly more stable, the latest version will have more up to date versions of the packages [14:31] Guys, I want to install Ubuntu on a partition of my laptop. I have a 1Gb flash drive. Wat do [14:31] Hey everyone. My server runs some software that only utilizes one core at a time. My server is perfectly capable of running this software; however, it cannot if it is only allowed to use once core at a time for the process. [14:32] glebihan: I don't really need the MOST up to date software all the time. I guess I'll go with LTS. Thanks for all the help [14:32] Is there some kind of trick I can do to make it not slam one CPU? [14:32] Solved, you're welcome [14:32] hh [14:32] Solved, You won't be disappointed with LTS.

[14:39] os_: probably not enough resources [14:39] os_, Installing from the CD requires a minimum of 256 mb RAM. [14:39] os_: you could try lubuntu, but 128 may be too much [14:39] os_: you can install with the alternate or mini CD [14:39] os_: Perhaps LXDE on Lubuntu, or a command line only system [14:39] i have two HDs with ububtu installed with various files on both ( i use hot swap drawers) I need now to access the info on both at same time can I put both in let it bbot to one then mount the other?

[14:42] freeWilly, how are you trying to access them [14:42] Polah: doing that shouldn't mess with the bbot sector of either drive, right? [14:42] samba? [14:42] but the problem is in the mounting syntax, i dunno what these drives are called [14:42] they not even formatted i believe, my bios does pick them up [14:42] FreeWilly: fdisk -l will tell you [14:42] coachj: No, unless something goes catastrophically wrong [14:43] FreeWilly: may need to be 'sudo fdisk -l' [14:43] FreeWilly: If they aren't formatted to anything then you can't mount them [14:43] Polah: thank you for the help [14:43] Does anyone know how to connect a Toshiba Thrive tablet to Ubuntu? [14:43] connect in what way? [14:43] is there any official release of ubuntu use enlightment 17? [14:44] os_ No. There are official releases with GNOME, KDE, Xfce and LXDE.

I wouldn't have thought just plain drives without anything preinstalled would be formatted to NTFS. I guess it would allow the majority people who don't know how to format drives to use them.

I am currently trying to run some software on my server that does not yet support threading. My server surpasses the minimum requirements; however, when it starts getting heavy use, it slams a CPU and begins to lag. [14:50] sorry Polah [14:50] I do not know. They just look like executables, no type, and the error is the "No application to handle" one. If I try to right-click and change permissions to "Allow executable...", the box will not stay marked. [14:50] Any thoughts? [14:50] did that past, however mean anything significant? [14:50] When I use many memory from swap, my pc freezes, and I get a error "swap-read error", and many more, indicating the whole sda drive is borky... But I can't find these errors in my /var/log directory, in any file. I fsck-ed unmounted /sda2/ swap device, but I got no errors. What to do? [14:50] hi. i have a small problem with fullscreen in flash. i use nvidia driver and the nvidia-settings tool and for playing flash i use the adobe flash plugin. if i switch to fullscreen mode it works fine, but i never get a fullscreen over the whole screen. i just get a black screen with the video in original size in the middle of the screen. does anybody know that problem? [14:51] Hi. I'm unable to login. I seem to have overwritten some file. Now when trying to login, some text is given, followed by 'Login incorrect'. It never asks Password or so. Details: http://paste.ubuntu.com/701066/ [14:51] what files are used by login? [14:51] Trashi: ive seen that when the monitors/video card settings are not set to scale. [14:52] i am trying to install vsftp, I downloaded files from https://security.appspot.com/downloads/vsftpd-2.3.4.tar.gz, and read through doc, it says to run make , when i run `make` command, i get sysdeputil.c:(.text+0xf7): undefined reference to `crypt' error, i found /lib/libcap.so.2 is the reference file, how can I link that at run time or how to solve the issue now.complete error message http://paste.pocoo.org/show/486029/ [14:52] "Could not display "~/~/file". There is no application installed for executable files" is the default error when trying to click on the files. [14:52] monotonia, Have you tried System-->Administration-->Disk Utility? [14:52] Uzi: ~/~/file seems... weird.. ~ is a shortcut for your home dir.. [14:52] Sidewinder1 yes. I have xfce, so it's somewhere else, but the same name. [14:53] Ah, just typing it like that since I don't want to write the whole dirstructure. =) [14:53] Uzi: you tried from the terminal a simple 'wine /path/to/whatever.exe' yet? [14:53] dr_willis: sorry, what do you mean exactly if you say "scale" in videosettings? [14:53] ssh -D 7474 user@SERVER ok? but the server in question specified a port for ssh connection port 3292; how should I put that in this command? [14:53] monotonia, And swap should be roughly 1.5 times your RAM. [14:53] shiftingcontrol did you tar -xvf name.tar.gz && cd vsftpd-2.3.4.tar [14:53] Trashi: check your video card/driver/settings . theres should be some scale on full screen setting someplace. [14:53] amin`: ssh -p port -D 7474 user@host [14:53] And in right-click -> Properties -> Permissions "Execture: [] Allow executing file as program" does not check. [14:54] Why would I need Wine for Linux emulators? [14:54] Trashi: its fullscereening a picture thats less then the monitors actual res by just centering it. [14:54] Sidewinder1 Is it too big, and that's causing problems? [14:54] Uzi: Im not clear on your actual problem then. [14:54] Do I need to setup the whole box again just b/c the login is faked? [14:54] Sidewinder1 I have 512MB, and swap is 2GB [14:54] xistance, i did tar -zvxf vsftpd-2.3.4.tar.gz and cd vsftp-2.3.4 [14:54] ufo1: try logging in at console, see if works. === darknet is now known as darknet___ [14:55] ufo1: theres always ways to fix things from a live cd normally. :) [14:55] I can login as root - but not any other user [14:55] shiftingcontrol: why not just sudo apt-get install vsftpd [14:55] and make; make install? [14:55] FreeWilly: you might have to use parted to format the drive (from reading your error message) [14:55] monotonia, That shouldn't cause a problem although 750 MB would be enough. [14:55] I am trying to install/start emulators in Ubuntu, that are for Linux. However, it refuses to allow the executables to run as executables, and I can not allow them to do so despite being the admin account. [14:55] make only throws me the error, [14:55] whois skyball [14:55] dr_willis: thanks for making me hope - just how? [14:56] ufo1: direct logging in as root is disabled by default.. so thats odd... You are logging into X as root? you coulkd try making a new user. see if their login works [14:56] dr_willis: well, cant find some scale options in nvidia-settings tool. if havent the problem with pictures. would say its an error which comes by nvidia+adobeflash in combination.. [14:56] !info parted | FreeWilly [14:56] mongy, now I did it . how could i specify 127.0.0.1:7474 as my systemwide socks proxy?

Version 2.3-5ubuntu5 (natty), package size 50 kB, installed size 200 kB [14:56] shiftingcontrol: Just install from the repos. [14:56] amin`: network settings in system prefs [14:56] shiftingcontrol did you do it exactly like that 'make; make install' [14:56] Trashi: i would double check. ive seen that exact thing in the past when fullscreening options are not set to scale. [14:56] good point. Trying [14:56] The EXE problem was just for MEKANIX, being EXE while it claimed to be a version for Linux. [14:56] Trashi: if you try fullscreening some other game? [14:56] Sidewinder1 So, what should I do? Is there a program to stress swap partition? [14:57] * dr_willis has to head to bed. back in about 7 hrs... [14:57] mongy, I just have xmonad i am not using gome. is this package has a name to install it here [14:57] Sidewinder1 At least I'd could note the error log... [14:57] xistance, make throws the error as i have stated previously, [14:58] so i can't run lubuntu live in my old machine even i get it on a flash? [14:58] flash disk? [14:58] os_: Probably not very well. [14:58] shiftingcontrol: sudo apt-get install vsftpd in terminal [14:58] monotonia, I know nothing about xfce; I guess you could use LiveCD to shrink swap. You might also try "memtest" form LiveCD boot to check that your RAM chips are OK. [14:58] Uzi: "exe" doesn't necessarily mean it's a windows executable (though that convention in windows certainly can confuse the issue...). What does 'file ' tell you?

[15:42] first let me clarify one thing onder [15:42] DSH94: ask in #freenode [15:43] DSH94, lal, google it? [15:43] ertyu: I'm listening. [15:43] !google | alexd285 [15:43] alexd285: 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. [15:43] how to get in to folder1 and folder2 at the same time ? onder [15:43] starjones: it is best to use the package manager to remove previous kernels that you know you won't boot into [15:43] liweiwp: I asked a programmer and he recommended Java: The Good Parts a few weeks back [15:44] ThinkT510: hmm that sounds familiar where do I find that? [15:44] ertyu: You don't need to get into these folders, just one upper directory if they are under the same directory. [15:44] oh wait do you mean synaptic? [15:45] starjones: yes [15:45] how to say to someone [15:47] I have a question: I have marked the option of encrypt at the installation. if the police steal my PC, will they see my archives? [15:47] well on your example if i understand correctly [15:47] mv -i folder2/* folder1 [15:47] you are copying all files and folders with is present on folder2 to folder1 correct ? [15:48] Yes! [15:48] ok let me check [15:49] I was about a little guide to you help on this. :]. [15:49] *about to write* === XLV_ is now known as XLV [15:50] ertyu, can you answer my question (8 lines above)? [15:50] ThinkT510: uhm followup question. I am not really seeing a place to delete these older revisions of what I assume are kernel upgrades. [15:51] starjones: search for kernel [15:51] starjones: they should all come up, then just rmove the ones that you know you won't need [15:52] i m not helping for such kind of operation on what i called sophistacated one Berenbet [15:52] hello, does anyone know how to update "Hardware Drivers" in Ubuntu 10.04, so that it sees newer video card and finds a driver for it? === Mud is now known as Guest12738 [15:53] ertyu, what? I dont have nothing illegal, it's just curiosity ¬¬ [15:53] win [15:54] Berenbet: all encryption can eventually be broken [15:55] :( [15:55] ertyu: Did it help you? [15:55] onder: [15:55] ThinkT510, also AES? Inside Ubuntu I have a AES-Twofish-Blosifh, can they broke my truecrypt? XD [15:55] it says would you like to erase the present one [15:55] if i do yes [15:55] Berenbet: all encryption can eventually be broken [15:55] it say the file not empty [15:56] ThinkT510, yeah, I know, with a brute force attack. but that will happend with a AES... 1 million of years? [15:56] I am talking of «real» time [15:56] Berenbet: no method of encryption is 100% unbreakable [15:56] ertyu: OK, let's change the command line a bit. Type this please: mv -f folder2/* folder1 [15:57] ok [15:57] ThinkT510, I will change the question, how many time aproximately will spend the FBI (per example) to uncrypt my pc [15:57] same error file not empty impossible to change it === sg is now known as Guest99367 [15:58] hi [15:58] Ow. [15:58] sorry folder not empty [15:58] Berenbet: that isn't really a ubuntu question, but it depends on the method of encryption, whether they can aquire the key (fast) and how much computing power is at their disposal (bbrute force) [15:58] nope [15:59] ThinkT510, which encryptation method use ubuntu? [15:59] Can you repeat last command with sudo? [15:59] Berenbet: i don't know, i've never bothered with encryption, it's more of an inconvienience than a security measure in my experience [16:00] 为什么没有电源管理？难道故意留下让用户自己琢磨？ [16:00] !zh | Guest99367 [16:00] Guest99367: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [16:00] jävla kinesiska [16:00] ThinkT510, which security measure do you recommend? [16:01] Berenbet: backup your data regularly and learn what could go wrong and prepare accordingly [16:01] ubottu: chinese？ [16:02] Does anyone know how I can have several icons on one line in my gnome panel like this: http://versia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/gnome.png Or if not, can someone recommend a panel that works well vertically please? [16:02] ThinkT510, I am not afraid of lost my data, I am afraid of police look my data XD [16:02] Berenbet: security is a process not a product [16:02] ertyu: I think this will work: mv -f -t folder1 folder2/* [16:02] Berenbet: If you're not doing anything illegal then you don't have anything to worry about, do you? (: [16:02] Berenbet: why are you afraid of that? [16:02] hi,is there a tool that monitors a directory and subdirectory and prints what files were created,changed,deleted ? I think it should be something that uses inotify [16:03] What package is GCC's 32-bit development libraries? [16:03] I am doing a project about security on PC, I have chose Linux (Ubuntu) like an example [16:03] i m sorry got the same onder [16:03] is it working on your side ? onder [16:03] Yes ertyu. [16:04] Berenbet: there is nothing illegal about linux, why are you afraid of the police [16:04] on my side i got files and folder [16:04] I need to know if the police can enter in a linux [16:04] seems not working [16:04] Berenbet: and i need to know why [16:04] ThinkT510, http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/kxpkg/linux_user_black_hat_hacker_stereotype/ [16:04] I am doing a project about security on PC, I have chose Linux (Ubuntu) like an example [16:04] if your are thief Berenbet of course Police can enter to your pc [16:05] Krenair: i'm aware of stereotypes [16:05] Berenbet, the police is entering your PC right now. [16:05] andyvy, of course XD [16:06] Why in WIN7 system overall after the installation of 11.10BETA2, prompts the hard disk error, even after the update can not enter the system!

[16:07] ThinkT510: Sorry, just want to make sure. Last think I want to do is screw up anything to do with booting. My current kernel is Linux version 2.6.32-34-generic . So uninstalling Linux-Headers with lower versions should not cause any probs? Or should I be deleting the Linux-Images [16:07] ok, so police can enter in a crypted ubuntu in a little time, no? [16:08] Berenbet, depends which country [16:08] give me your number i have to call to the police [16:08] ertyu, are there already any files inside the destination folder ? [16:08] where are you located in ? [16:08] In the UK, you have to give them your password [16:08] starjones: its not just linux headers, its the images, make sure you have at least one for back up [16:08] Berenbet, yes they'll beat the password out of you if needed. [16:08] Krenair, suppose that the police is the FBI XD [16:08] andyvy, they can not torture me XDXD [16:08] Berenbet: its best to use a hidden truecrypt partition [16:08] Berenbet, if it was the FBI, chances are they don't want you to know they're trying to get into your shit [16:09] ThinkT510: ok leave one for BU. Is there a way to configure that so I don't have to deal with this in the future? [16:09] Berenbet: there is no way they can prove it exists [16:09] is there unity music lens for clementine? :) that would be awesome [16:09] It'd take a while [16:09] yes glebihan there are lots of files i simply need to earse the presence files and folder i need to copy the new one [16:09] But it can be done [16:09] Cas07, hey, I have some personal important files in a truecrypt, but in an archive, is that secure? [16:09] Please keep the language clean and the topic Ubuntu support. [16:09] starjones: not that i'm aware of, but i never use a seperate boot partition so i don't run into that problem [16:09] ertyu, then run : mv -u folder1/* folder2 [16:09] So, does anyone know what the GCC 32-bit development libraries are called for apt-get? [16:10] Berenbet: Its best if you read about it: http://www.truecrypt.org/hiddenvolume [16:10] :D [16:10] ThinkT510: I don't think I did anything out of the ordinary. But it was a long time ago.

[16:17] So, does anyone know what the GCC 32-bit development libraries are called for apt-get? [16:17] I really do not want to upgrade from 10.10 due to that horrible UI that replaced Gnome 2.32.x. I need to update Firefox. Is there a reliable way of doing this on 10.10? [16:18] hi. this function uses acts_as_tree to get a list of not only children but children's children, but i'd like to change it to only allow for 4 levels deep, and thereafter not including the result in obj.all_children. any ideas on how to make this better? https://gist.github.com/1257591 [16:18] Berenbet: ubuntuforums.org [16:18] ertyu, ok then I don't think mv will work, try "rsync -r folder1 folder2" [16:18] syn3rgy: https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable?field.series_filter=maverick [16:18] Cas07, thx [16:18] Krenair: are you on 32bit?

[16:30] A_J_: edit /etc/fstab [16:31] nmvictor what do i do there [16:32] I switched from twinview to separate X screens in my nvidia settings and now gnome shell (using a ppa on 11.04) errors out each time I log in. I can only assume the ppa is just acting up with it? [16:33] A_J_: what drive do you want to automount? /dev/sda or do you know its label? [16:34] I've labled it data drive [16:35] * A_J_ will brb [16:37] !gnome3 | roasted_ [16:37] roasted_: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and cannot be downgraded safely. [16:37] ThinkT510, uh. yeah. I know ;) [16:37] ThinkT510, nonetheless, I figured I'd ask to bounce some ideas around. [16:38] I love how ubuntu classic has a 1 pixel target for window resizing.. wonder how that slipped through [16:38] ThinkT510, currently I'm bumping it up to 11.10 beta to see if I have any luck. :( [16:38] roasted_: i hope you mean a fresh install [16:38] ThinkT510, yeah. I can't even log in to my 11.04 box now. I have no choice :P [16:39] roasted_: ok, just remember that support on 11.10 in on #ubuntu+1 until it gets released [16:39] ThinkT510, right. I know. [16:39] ThinkT510, believe me I've heard that 400 times before in this chat. [16:40] 5 minutes before midnight? pfft, ubuntu+1 brother.

[16:41] roasted_: I had a problem with 11.04 too, i ended up using 11.10 and am liking it but had to go KDE, all other UIs[Unity and Gnome3] just dint cut it for me. [16:41] honour: use 7zip [16:42] nmvictor, well you're talking personal preference at that point. My standpoint is the actual thing is errors out upon logging in. I think the dirty setup I did with the ppa may have something to do with it, as clearly people use separate X screens with nvidia cards all of the time and have no issues, so I should be able to as well [16:43] hi [16:43] i'm trying to install ubuntu with lili [16:43] (lili usb creator) [16:43] roasted_, actually, separate X if quite uncommon.

Wish i could help but I dnot know Nvidia further than the fact that ist been mentioned so often on this channel, usually as a problem-card. [16:46] ThinkT510, do you have two wm/de running? one on each? what do you use the separate X for? [16:46] How do I tell if I'm on a 64-bit or 32-bit install of Ubuntu?

Never knew that, i thought all these ubuntu derivatives share the same Support channel.

There is also wicd, which also has a cli frontend believe, but i don't really like recommending wicd very much. The manual way, buy using the interfaces file would be a major drag for wireless (i imagine, also never personally tried it). [16:57] How do I get the Launcher to stay?

[17:51] hmm, perhaps ecryptfs is to blame somehow. i don't remember it doing this previously, but that could have been before my natty upgrade [17:51] leo: all I did was search for vm.swappiness. The second choice was an ubuntu post that tells exactly what to add. [17:51] can someone help me recover my home directory? [17:52] Leo: add the line: vm.swappinesz = 10 save the new file, close gedit then run: sudo sysctl -p and it will apply without need to reboot [17:52] onebitxajax: use your backups. Easiest way by far [17:53] Leo: remove the z from the thing to add. Typo [17:53] ActionParsnip: it is encrypted with encryptfs [17:54] do i have to add this at the end of the file? [17:54] vm.swappinesz = 10 [17:54] ? [17:54] Leo: vm.swappiness = 10 [17:54] Sigh, what could happened with /sbin/init (pid 1) so it does not collect zombies? [17:54] at the end of the file right? [17:55] Leo: i know you didn't websearch at all, or you would have found this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq [17:55] Leo: yes [17:55] onebitxajax, ok, and let me guess you don't know the encrytion pass phrase? [17:55] is it vm.swappiness = 10 or vm.swappines = 10? [17:56] Leo: if you don't do any work yourself, you will always need help [17:56] sorry man [17:56] Leo: read the link i gave [17:56] ok [17:56] yacc: i know it but it don't work [17:56] another question [17:57] How so?

[17:57] leo: man fstab [17:57] leo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions [17:57] onebitxajax, ecryptfs-unwarp-passphrase works for you? [17:58] thabks ill read it [17:58] Leo: no, its not really fair. I gave direction so you could find your own way. What i gave was about 75% of the job, but you couldnt be bothered, then you lied about trying to find the answer. [17:58] yacc: i will try now [17:58] i didnt lie [17:58] leo, here is another. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab [17:58] i searched and couldnt find the answer because of your typo [17:58] besisdes [17:59] i know nothing about linux [17:59] leo: or type man fstab in a console. [17:59] Leo: websearch for: ubuntu vm.swappiness and you'll find a billion guides [17:59] why is Ubuntu 10.04 so far behind with the latest version of Firefox ? [17:59] Leo: maybe but I'm sure you've used the web to research [17:59] firefox 7.7 is out but yet the latest in Ubuntu's repo's is 3.6.33 [17:59] !ff7 | Anom01y [18:00] i was here earlier with problem, but had to afk [18:00] im back [18:00] !ff7 [18:00] Anom01y: 10.04 is lts so aims for stability [18:00] and unfortrunately the faries didnt come fix my issue [18:00] ActionParsnip, leo, google: Ubuntu configuring swap => 1st item is the swap faq [18:00] Anom01y: https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable [18:00] Anom01y, mozilla started a upgrade schecule that conflicted I guess there is a ppa that can get you more updated FF releases. [18:00] yacc: on what i must make that command? [18:00] im reading right now thanks people [18:00] Anom01y: there is the firefox stable ppa which may help [18:00] onebitxajax, in a console window, ideally su to your user first. [18:00] schedule * [18:01] Anom01y: applications for Ubuntu releases are not updated unless there is a serious bug or security issue [18:02] ive connected two additional hard drives, and need to mount them, but when running df -h all i get is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/701141/ [18:02] leo: It does not hurt, reading, I mean. :) [18:02] Anyway, what can make /sbin/init stop collecting zombies? [18:02] yeah [18:03] THANK YOU [18:03] FreeWilly_ that will only list mounted drives [18:03] i just laerned i can change swap for this session [18:03] guys, what command in terminal should i run to see if my memory is running in dual channel mode? [18:03] i mean how much swap it uses [18:03] it was 60 [18:03] and i changed it to 10 [18:03] just for this session [18:03] leo: you could have even just searched for: vm.swappiness and found something. This is how i know you did zero work [18:04] anybody, please? [18:04] leo: Actually it's not how much swap it uses, it's a value that tells how much the kernel wants to swap. [18:04] yeah [18:04] i just didnt know how to explain it [18:04] einseenai, hwinfo? [18:04] what if i put the number under ten? or 0? [18:04] einseenai, usually the BIOS tells you things like this ;) [18:05] Leo: zero can be used but isnt a good choice [18:05] leo: then it won't consider swap in practically any situation. [18:05] oooh [18:05] so 10 is ok tight? [18:05] right*? [18:05] yacc, hwinfo is unreadable for me [18:05] :) [18:06] leo, swap is godd. Even on a box with to much memory => it can stuff quite a bit of memory by swapping out all kinds of system daemons you seldom use. [18:06] my user all of a sudden is not in sudoers file, and i cant edit it coz of the same reason, and the installation never gave me the root password [18:06] what do i do??? [18:06] einseenai: id check your manual for your motherboard, if you have the ram sticks in a dual channel config, the [18:06] this is so fustrating [18:06] Then you are gold :) [18:06] einseenai, well, my BIOS tells me it's dual channeling before it goes to the task of detecting IDE/SATA discs. [18:07] illl put it to 10 then ok? [18:07] FreeWilly_: boot to root recovery mode, you can fix it there [18:07] FreeWilly: it's simple, you boot into the live cd, ... [18:07] server edition, also? [18:08] there is a thing that doesnt specify in the page that you guys gave me [18:08] FreeWilly: then you chroot into your root filesystem, and run passwd root [18:08] in the file im editing [18:08] FreeWilly_: hold shift at boot, select recovery mode, select root [18:08] does it have to be: #vm.swappiness=10? [18:08] or vm.swappiness=10 [18:08] thanks all [18:08] yacc: down'yt work [18:08] FreeWilly: Any bootable media that allows you to mount your root filesystem and edit a file (or run passwd in a chroot) is fine. [18:08] brb [18:08] (without the # symbol) [18:08] onebitxajax, ? [18:08] yacc: erroe -5 [18:08] im puttying in to the system [18:08] so have to go to that pc then [18:08] ActionParship, so i have to check in bios, right? cause i can't find any command in google to just display it. [18:08] argh [18:09] yacc: don't work that command [18:09] leo: # indicates a comment [18:09] leo # is a common "comment introduction character" in the unix world => so if you want it enabled, you usually need to remove the # [18:09] onebitxajax, so what happened that you cannot access your home directory at all? [18:09] Leo: on the swap faq page i linked, scroll to the top. Look on the right at number 6. Paste here what it says please.. [18:10] does FF 7 use more ram than firefox 3.6 ? [18:10] where? [18:10] Anom01y: not sure that's possible :)) [18:11] Leo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq [18:11] Leo: same link i gave earlier... [18:11] Anyway, any one got an idea why init might stop working? Or what to do to analyze the problem? [18:11] ok [18:11] Leo: what does link 6 on the right say.. [18:11] is there a way to not reboot [18:11] found this KIck ass media player [18:11] http://www.umplayer.com/ [18:12] did it! thanks Action... [18:12] anyone who is interested ^^^^ [18:12] Leo: no...i wa [18:12] Umplayer is SMplayer but way better [18:12] Anom01y: what is wrong with vlc or mplayer (they are in the repos) [18:12] Leo: i want you to paste in here what 6 says [18:12] mplayer is nice but not the front ends [18:13] this umplayer is finally a good front end for mplayer [18:13] illl be banned for flooding [18:13] Anom01y, umplayer is just yet another frontend for mplayer? [18:13] is there any application to power down hard drive in ubuntu when the computer is idle? [18:13] ActionParsnip: sometimes, before you can teach a man to fish, you have to teach him what water is [18:13] yeah but its the best one so far yacc [18:13] Leo: i just want the link name, not all the text [18:13] smplayer had a few probs [18:13] Anom01y, not really, I personally prefer the default keyboard interface of mplayer :) [18:13] Hello, is there any application to power down hard drive in ubuntu when the computer is idle? [18:13] I like the playlists in smplayer / umplayer yacc [18:13] g0rs: hdparm [18:14] saving / making playlists, and remembering positions in movies ect so when you reload it it goes back to the place you left off automatically [18:14] its worth checking out [18:14] Th0r: we'll get there [18:14] Cas07: does hdparm enable hard drive power management? How is it possible when the os is logging onto the hard drive using a journaled file system like ext3 ? [18:15] yacc, I like the simplicity of just plain old mplayer, but the playlist isn't very good [18:15] g0rs, no, hdparm let's you issue all kinds of commands (ATA/SCSI) to devices. [18:15] Anom01y, well, I'm usually quite happy to watch one movie at a time. [18:15] Leo: its a single line of 8 words. [18:15] yacc: hdparm is not starting even though i tried to run it. [18:15] g0rs, sudo? [18:16] g0rs: you need to use /etc/hdparm.conf [18:16] you do it please [18:16] yacc, yeah well I have a ton of youtube vids which are in several parts on my computer so [18:16] I make up nice playlists and save em all [18:16] g0rs, the kernel should usually wake up any drives you make sleep. [18:17] anyone know what package lscpi, lsusb etc are in? [18:17] leo: ActionParsnip is trying to get you to learn how to help yourself (and point out that you seem to not want to try) [18:17] yacc: yes that was the idea, if the kernel keeps the harddrive awake , is it not possible to disable it? [18:17] I have an ubuntu server on a vps and its missing these, for my phpsysinfo to work. [18:17] Anom01y, well, I tend to transcode and concat all videos, as the main video player in this home is the PS3 => with such it's best to transcode yourself so you have codecs the PS3 can handle. [18:17] g0rs: if it need to write data it needs the hard drive [18:17] Leo: i want you to paste it so you learn. Open the swap faq link i gave and look at the numbered list at the top right of the page. What is number 6? [18:17] ok ill doit [18:18] yacc, yeah I just plug the computer into the TV and hit play on the playlists [18:18] What is swappiness and how do I change it? [18:18] plays everything [18:18] g0rs, well, if you access the drive, then logically either your computer should hang (and then how will you power on the drive) or the computer needs to power on the drive => so if you want your drive unused => make sure it's unused. [18:18] g0rs: you could create something like a ramdisk for logging but it could be a major task to keep the disk spundown [18:19] Leo: bingo. So now you know how I KNOW you didn't research at all. You would have found that with even the most basic search [18:19] mongy, usbutils and pciutils [18:19] g0rs, let me rephrase that, it's a major PITA to keep the disc down, but if you think you want to do that, google Linux laptop mode, and so on. === Guest33108 is now known as Spawn [18:20] Cas07, yacc : thanks, i wondered why they didnt enable hard drive idle mode .Probably it was important to log all activity. [18:20] wow [18:20] youre cool action... [18:20] Leo: this is nothing to do with Linux experience, this is you trying to find stuff online. I gave the thing to search for and you didn't do anything [18:21] yes i did [18:21] i even told you what i found at that page [18:21] g0rs, it's not only logging as in syslogd, it's also that Linux filesystems keep access times, all kinds of background processes write stuff/read stuff. [18:22] g0rs, the reality is that getting rid of the writing is kind of the easy part. Getting the correct working set of files into the RAM cache is way funnier. [18:22] Leo: if you research yourself using the direction given rather than simply shrugging at new terms aa you are new to the OS you will not be a "newb" for long at all [18:22] yacc: unless we're running a linux server. logging may not be essential for desktop use. [18:23] ok [18:23] g0rs: might be useful: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~mukesh/hacks/spindown/t1.html [18:23] thanks Cas07 [18:24] i'm using boot-repair to repair my boot and it is taking infinite time in the section "discovering menu entries" [18:25] what should i do? if i force stop it, will it anyway boot up good? [18:25] alexxio: is the drive healthy [18:25] actionparsnip: i think it is, how can i check? [18:26] hello. I've got a LEICA digital video camera... I was just wondering if anyone here has experience with getting the video off of these things. [18:27] ActionParsnip: what of the disk should i check up? [18:27] alexxio: could fsck the system partition in liveCD. If you want to go full fat, you could grab the ultimate boot cd and use the drive manufacturers tool to test the drive at a lower level [18:28] fsck with what options? [18:28] hi, everytime I suspend the laptop, it goes to hibernate [18:29] first suspends, and when I activate, hibernates [18:29] txomon: hibernates after resuming from suspend? [18:30] Kre10s: does pitivi not offer to import from the source? [18:31] alexxio: you'll have to read the man page, i don't have it to hand [18:31] I've never done it before, and i don't want to download/install a crapload of packages half of which i might not need. [18:31] pitivi looks good though [18:32] Kre10s: possibly: http://ubuntuhowtos.com/howtos/import_video_from_MiniDV_camera [18:33] Kre10s: kino exists too but installing it on a gnome based system will pull in lots of Qt deps. Depends if space is a luxury [18:34] Please, how to resume from 'hibernation' or 'suspend' status pressing the 'usb keyboard' instead of press the computer power button? [18:34] hmm. yes kino is QT... It'd be cool if i could access the camera as a tape drive of something more generic. === Odd-rationale_ is now known as Odd-rationale [18:35] marsfligth: Depends on bios limitations not OS [18:35] Kre10s: that'd be swee. If they all did it as standard too, thats the dream [18:35] Girly-Girl: thanks [18:37] marsfligth: You're welcome [18:39] hey guys, sry for my nooby question, but how can i run "nvidia-xconfig" as root,?

[18:48] it should do [18:48] should be enabled [18:48] thinkt510, for me its a matter of me using arch right now and some of the aur downloads botched my system [18:49] simpleblue: funny, i use arch too [18:49] right now i just want a system that does it all so i can concentrate on other stuff [18:49] hmm, I have creative wp-350 bluetooth headphones with mic. I pair it with ubuntu, and it even recognizes it. But doesnt let me to change Profile: High Fidelity Playback (A2DP) [18:50] Im stuck with phone with Telephony Duplex, which is mono, and sound is pretty terrible [18:50] simpleblue: in that case get 11.04 or wait till 11.10 is released [18:50] can anyone help me? ubuntu used to recognize my camera, but all of a sudden it won't.. i don't know how to fix it [18:50] yo [18:50] ThinkT510: I think unity in 11.10 will be better. [18:50] how can i mount or format my usb-drive when it is not being automaticaly mounted as i plug it in ? [18:50] simpleblue: no point in using a beta since its still being tested (you'll likely experience bugs) [18:50] ThinkT510: i heard that i can download 11.10 beta and just upgrade, so that sounds fine [18:51] bugs are okay [18:51] Yes, because you can report bugs. <3 [18:51] RyuGuns: i don't use unity so that isn't a factor for me [18:51] Guys how do I install Internet Explorer 9 on Ubuntu [18:52] Rainbow-Dash-EN: you don't [18:52] why [18:52] I don't use unity either, but I may switch...

[18:52] i wanted to get a reaction out of GNUfags. [18:52] i installed ubuntu from a usb drive. for some reason when it installed grub it installed it on the usb drive. is there a simple method to move grub from the usb drive to where ever it needs to be?

Halp? [18:55] also KDE ftw.

[19:03] Cas07, yes, after resuming [19:04] txomon: i think its a bug to do with the batteries. I have seen it while testing Oneiric [19:04] Cas07, im with ubuntu 11.04 [19:04] updated at the last version [19:05] txomon: you should search/create a bug on launchpad [19:06] ok [19:08] <|_ocke> but why? [19:08] I have a problem with changing win7 boot with bcdedit. Something about system device cannot be found. I dual boot with ubuntu so i wonder if it is because of grub [19:08] REMEMBER CHAKOTAY!

[19:09] same problem again: when i start the nvidia xserver settings a window pops up saying: You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. StevenR told me to use that command: gksu nvidia-xconfig, with the second try it there was no failure, but the window still pops up and the driver is active but not in use... any ideas? :) [19:09] pro977: 11.10 comes out in about two weeks so you may as well wait.

I checked the obvious: volume, mute, etc. The S/PDIF output is selected as the preferred output and set to 5.1. As to hardware: Ubuntu still recognizes the card [19:58] Analog sound works, so it's not the application that malfunctions [19:58] Sean_: so the screen freezes... are you able to ssh in from another computer when this happens? [19:58] E3D3, there are probably a half-dozen to a dozen updates every 6 months. unless you have a reason you cant use grub you should use grub [19:59] bkfitz: a word of caution before anything else: webmin can severely damage your ubuntu system [19:59] escott: Thx [19:59] yeats, i didn't try but the numlock light doesn't respond [19:59] :) [19:59] i've heard that before...

[20:03] bkfitz: and another word of caution: open proxies tend to create lots of troubles for their owners [20:03] Sean_: I would install openssh-server on your station and ssh in from another machine to see if you can figure out what's going on.

[20:08] on to another problem, during one of the freezes ddrescue was running and upon reboot reports "ddrescue: write error: Input/output error" [20:08] guntbert: and if the results of the iptables -L shows accept all, why does an nmap only show like 8 ports open [20:08] bkfitz: yes, but I am more comfortable with the output of sudo iptables -L [20:09] Need help burning a cd [20:09] guntbert: so wtf is going on?

It might write files to unexpected destinations [20:11] It lists it there [20:11] guntbert: yes [20:11] topdog works in unbuntu ? [20:11] Kaleidoscope, the guis have a tendency to surpress errors so try and burn on the command line [20:11] Oh lord [20:11] guntbert: clearly a mistake now that i know. [20:11] Alright, I'm trying to burn an ISO file, so how might I do that? [20:12] Kaleidoscope, its not so bad: wodim dev=/dev/cdrw -data file.iso [20:12] guntbert: do the ufw and iptables commands basically do the same thing - edit the iptables.rules.up file? [20:12] Kaleidoscope, you might want to do wodim -vvv dev=... [20:13] Kaleidoscope, -v adds verbosity (and will tell you about errors) you can also use speed=X to set a speed (slower speeds give more consistent burns) [20:13] Alrighty, I'll try that out, Thanks [20:13] bkfitz: no, the iptables command only edits the rules for the kernel "right now" they are not saved in any way. ufw is just a front end to make that process easier [20:14] guntbert: hmmm... so any ideas on how i can fix this? [20:15] bkfitz, there are a set of iptables jobs in init that restore (on iptables up) and save (on iptables down) the iptables [20:15] on to another problem, during one of the freezes ddrescue was running and upon reboot reports "ddrescue: write error: Input/output error" [20:15] Sean_, have you checked your smart data? use the disk utility === pothos_ is now known as pothos [20:15] bkfitz: drop webmin, employ ufw or ....

[20:18] bkfitz: found it : please have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/firewall.html (I prefere shorewall over ufw) [20:19] hey guys. im looking for a couple of packages/programs. one is to edit MetaModes, the other is to edit screensavers.. needs to be Graphical [20:19] Sean_, if the drives are healthy in smart, run an fsck === andrejpan_ is now known as andrejpan [20:19] Sean_, although if something as low level as dd is reporting io errors its hard to see how it is not a hardware problem === john___ is now known as ripdaddy [20:20] guntbert: while you were gone i tried ufw... ufw allow 22, ufw enable, and it didn't work. Still seeing other ports open when nmap run [20:21] hi [20:21] does anyone have a command to rename ".JPG_original" backups to the corresponding ".JPG" with overwriting the current .JPG files(which are broken). i tried mv *.JPG_original *.JPG (sorry if it hurts the pros around here) but i guess i need a for loop to preserve filenames? [20:22] aptitude gives me some errors about not finding some sources [20:22] how do I figure out which entry it is exactly? [20:22] bkfitz: keep in mind that some firewall management systems may permit connections from localhost anyway [20:22] user82, rename is probalby the easiest to use, but you can just use a bash for loop as well [20:22] the information from aptitude update is not telling me much about what source is meant [20:22] guntbert: right... ok i'll check out shorewall and try nmap from home [20:22] oh there is a rename command..thanks escott [20:22] guntbert: thx. I'll pm if you i can't get it to work... thx again [20:23] how would rename one file with overwriting? "mv original1.JPG_backup original1.JPG"? [20:23] user82: yes [20:23] bkfitz: Good luck :-) (and if you want to play a little have a look into fwbuilder - its a number bigger than the others :) [20:23] hi there, I'm following some instructions that mention editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf in Natty, but that file doesn't exist there. Should I create it or edit one of the files in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d instead? [20:23] привет всем [20:23] !ru | korya [20:23] hello guys. I'm wondering if it's possible to convert a directory into a file. It is? [20:23] korya: Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. [20:23] user82: user82 I 'think' mmv can do what you want. [20:23] user82, to force an overwrite use -f [20:24] robertSmith: you should create one. [20:24] user82: oh, listen to him first :P [20:24] An empty directory, by the way. [20:24] robertSmith: /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d files will get overwritten every time you reinstall their package (xorg, or synaptics, etc) [20:24] george__, remove it and "touch filename" [20:24] george__: I'm not sure what you want to accomplish [20:24] guntbert: huh.. just ran nmap from home and it says host isn't up. but i'm sshd in on another term. [20:24] okay thanks for your help ppl! [20:25] robertSmith: there are many different ways to make a xorg.conf. It's best to make one as minimal as possible. What are you trying to edit with one? [20:25] Hello Everyone! I'm hoping someone could answer a quick question for me about migrating my wubi installation to a separate partition. Does anyone here feel comfortable helping me with this? [20:25] Shirakawasuna: having trouble with multitouch on macbook pro 8,1 [20:25] ripdaddy, jsut do a new install, and then copy your home directory [20:25] george__: directories in linux technically are files. Why are you trying to change a dir into a non-dir file? [20:26] robertSmith: ah [20:26] Shirakawasuna: following instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro8-1/Natty [20:26] ripdaddy: http://mobilityworld.wordpress.com/2010/09/07/move-ubuntu-from-a-wubi-partition-to-a-real-one/ [20:26] It's a really simple question, really... I created teh new partitions in Windows and had to format them NTFS... do you guys recommend re-formatting my partitions to ext3 and swap? [20:26] can i start a non-executable file in the terminal? (without chmod it is on a ntfs filesystem) [20:26] bkfitz: oops - be *very careful* now, prepare a script to flush all rules and use "at" to execute it 10 minutes from now [20:26] thanks for the link, action [20:26] I'll check it out [20:26] ripdaddy: I'd do a clean install of ubuntu if you want a true install [20:26] Oh... are there limitations to moving a wubi install? [20:27] btw, version 11 of ubuntu released more than 2 weeks ago and my 10.04 doesn't offer me option to make total upgrade to this 11 ver...will it happen or should I do upgrade by myself?;) [20:27] guntbert: yeah :) don't want to close 22... then i'd be in big trouble. [20:27] robertSmith: cool. You should be able to get away with a xorg.conf that has only those lines listed on that page (starts with Section "InputClass" and ends with EndSection) [20:27] ripdaddy: no, its just a tonne easier (as you can see from the guide) [20:27] robertSmith: I would recommend to add that snippet to a file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ -- Say /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/45-multitouch-fix.conf or so. Create the directory if it is not there already. [20:27] escott, how can i fsck a ntfs drive? [20:27] when I installed version 8 - ubuntu updater offered upgrade to ver 9, then to ver 10... [20:28] tMH-: from 10.04 you can upgrade to 10.10 if you want to do a LTS to LTS you will have to wait for the release of 12.04 see /msg ubottu !upgrade for more info. [20:28] Sean_, with windows [20:28] Shirakawasuna: cool I'll give it a try [20:28] fyi this stuff worked...probablly not the most elegant way though. "for file in $(find . -type f -name "*.JPG_original"); do mv "$file" "${file%.JPG_original}.JPG" -f; done" [20:28] bkfitz for now just type sudo iptables -F [20:28] guntbert: Well, actually is a bit more complicated. A folder located at my mp4 player got corrupted with no particular reason. After trying to removing it via command line (my laptop barely freezed), I got a warning message saying that this folder had circular structure file, which was due to a very likely system file corruption. So, Shirakawasuna, I thought that if I convert the folder to files, I could, maybe, delete it... [20:28] I see... I was going to follow the migration guide here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1519354 - that didn't seem so bad, but it didn't mention if I shoudl reformat. [20:28] IdleOne - I mean 'automatic' upgrade;) [20:28] You don't recommend using my original guide then, I'm guessing? [20:28] IdleOne - anyway, thanks, I'll read info from ubottu:) [20:29] george__: Ah. So you're not trying to recover a file, just remove one that's borked? [20:29] tMH-: 10.04 is a LTS (long term support) release it is set to update to the next LTS which will be 12.04 by default [20:29] babilen: I will try that [20:29] george__: have you restarted and let the filesystem get fscked? [20:29] george__: in that case you should run a file system check as soon as possible, before doing anything else [20:29] robertSmith: Read "man xorg.conf" for details [20:29] ripdaddy: both are fine, have a read and see what you think. I'd personally clean install then restore user data [20:30] george__: do this: sudo touch /etc/forcefsck [20:30] george__: then restart [20:30] err, sorry [20:30] george__: sudo touch /forcefsck [20:30] guntbert: gotta run but thx for all your help [20:30] Shirakawasuna:It doesn't matter, as long I got rid of that. But, how can I perform I file system check on the mp4 player. [20:30] IdleOne - btw, I see you're pretty experienced ubuntu Guru.. might be you have the asnwer - when I used ver 8 and then ver 9 of ubuntu - my samba sharings were visible from winXP but when I switched to 10.04 - only 'run' | \\sharing_ip can open samba from ubuntu... what is that and how to fix?:) [20:30] guntbert:the folder is NOT on my computer [20:31] tMH-: no clue. I am far from guru status. [20:31] george__: you need to unmount the partition it's located on, then run fsck on it. The easiest way to do this is to make a file called /forcefsck and restart. Your computer will then check the filesystem during the next boot. [20:31] Action - I think I'd rather try to do it using the guide first (I did a lot of setup I'd rather not have to re-do :-) ) If I used the guide, do you recommend that I re-format these partitions from NTFS -> Ext3? [20:31] IdleOne - ppl has some drum-n-dance technics whose are not working :/ [20:31] IdleOne - aha.... [20:31] tMH-: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:31] how do i set the REALLY_GEM_UPDATE_SYSTEM environment variable? [20:31] escott, well, it's my windows drive the i am recovering the data from so thats not an option [20:31] evil bot;) [20:31] george__: thats why I didn't say fsck - but try to check the file system! [20:31] george__: it would probably recognize the problems do the check automatically, but /forcefsck makes sure it happens [20:31] If I have problems with it, however, I'm going to take your advice and try to do a clean install [20:32] how do I override DNS lookup on my machine? I want to make xyz.com resolved to an IP address of my choosing [20:32] Shirakawasuna: he is talking about an mp4 player, probably vfat... [20:32] guntbert: ahhh [20:32] kurzweil4: edit /etc/hosts [20:32] ripdaddy, very few people here use wubi. but i wouldn't trust a script without looking at the contents of it. for the most part migrating a debian/ubuntu system is 3 things: 1) copy the home directory 2) copy the dpkg --get-selections 3) copy any modifications made to /etc [20:32] kurzeil4: edit /etc/hosts and enter "ip address" there [20:32] guntbert: I read mp4 and though it was a media player, doh [20:32] george__: scratch what I said, I misunderstood [20:32] tabakhase: thanks [20:33] in new string like you want to use 192.168.0.5 as myhost5 - 192.168.0.5 myhost5 [20:33] how do i set the REALLY_GEM_UPDATE_SYSTEM environment variable? i need to update gems but ubuntu is being a jerk. [20:33] george__: do what guntbert said. First, at least, see what filesystem it has. 'mount' should tell you, if it's mounted. [20:33] my computer currently has no sound. desktop ubuntu 11.04, 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) - Sound Preferences Hardware is set to Analog Stereo Duplex. i was messing with that, trying to get it not to sound like smashing foil, and it quit working. [20:33] Can anyone confirm that Grub2 can't be installed on a 2TB md device? Forcing me to create a tiny boot partition? [20:34] so I'm trying to get multimonitor setup right, i've gotten it to recognize both monitors, handle independent resolutions, etc.. the one thing that still isn't right is it's insisting that the wrong monitor is the primary monitor. Suggestions? [20:34] escott - Thanks for your help. I am not familiar iwth dpkg --get-selections, I'll check that out. However, I did a lot of setup because this is my work laptop (and I'm a developer)... so I have a lot of python packages and such that I need to migrate. I agree about the script, i shoudl read through it first. [20:34] Chromium 14 has not been made available even after couple of weeks of release in stable PPA. Any idea how can I get latest Chromium? Thanks [20:34] I'll take a look at it and be back [20:34] thanks guys! [20:34] guntbert, Shirakawasuna: So, guntbert, could you please repeat what should I do? [20:35] Ghost1227|cloud: for me - I switched monitors a day ago, restored from hibernation and wondered why sistem still shows me my _old_ monitor in properties;) just rebooted the machine and it caught correct monitor info;) [20:35] please, someone help [20:35] htl, export REALLY_GEM_UPDATE_SYSTEM=whatever [20:36] didn't work [20:36] htl: what didn [20:36] t work? [20:36] george__: you should figure out what filesystem it has, then check the filesystem for errors using an appropriate program for that filesystem. [20:36] george__: try to check the file system! ( Shirakawasuna said how to find out what FS it is) [20:36] i entered the command "export REALLY_GEM_UPDATE_SYSTEM=whatever" into the shell. is that the intent? [20:36] htl, you'll have to !paste your terminal session [20:37] is there support for pulseaudio somewhere? [20:37] Saamm: can't you install it wiht the PPA? [20:37] !paste | htl [20:37] htl: 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. [20:37] ok [20:37] tMH-: tried rebooting several times, still shows my secondary as my primary [20:37] Shirakawasuna, guntbert: Disk Utility says filesystem type is "unknown" [20:37] hello, this is a simple question. not related to ubuntu though... How can I add a new line in a echo text message in php? I tried echo "hello\n" but it is not working [20:37] Ghost1227|cloud - what videocard you have there? [20:37] Saamm, i think google makes debs you could use, if you want to be working with the most recent version that may be better [20:37] danes, #php ? [20:37] george__: type 'mount' and see what it says about that device [20:38] george__: sorry, I have to leave - Good luck :-) [20:38] Ghost1227|cloud - tried to switch ports, btw? [20:38] http://paste.ubuntu.com/701226/ [20:38] Shirakawasuna, no :( [20:38] guntbert:ok, thanks. [20:38] obviously i don't know what i'm doing, but i need to update gems anyway :) [20:38] Saamm: https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/stable for stable, https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/beta for beta [20:38] tMH-: ATI RV710 (Radeon HD 4350), I've switched ports, but that breaks it on my other OSs [20:39] htl, sudo -i. the env in sudo is different from that in your normal terminal [20:39] escott, last time wen I tried to switch to chrome from chromium all my bookmarks were lost so I fear that :/ [20:39] htl, or sudo GEM_REALLY_...=true gem update --system [20:39] Saamm: back up. [20:39] i think im just going to give up on making an image of the drive and just install windows. [20:39] Saamm, figure out what file they are in and save them [20:40] tMH-: problem is, if i install the restricted ati drivers i can get the monitors in the right order, but i end up with all sorts of graphics issues. using the open source drivers i have no issues, but it won't let me determine which is the primary [20:40] Ghost1227|cloud - no clue how to cope with ATI cards :/ with nvidia you'd use nvidia control panel for ubuntu , on winXP it handles monitors' position switching, I think ubuntu panel does the same.. [20:40] Saamm, they probably have different preference folders, it probably just looking in the wrong place (.chromium vs .chrome) [20:40] Saamm: open the chromium bookmark manager > Organize > export bookmarks [20:40] Shirakawasuna, stable PPA have v13, v14 was released two weeks back [20:40] Saamm: I guess the Ubuntu Chromium maintainer(s) have been too busy to work on it [20:40] Shirakawasuna, oh thanks I try tat now [20:40] tMH-: oh they're in the right order.... it's just picking the right monitor as the primary [20:41] hi [20:41] Saamm: yeah, I guess those ppas must be a little behind :/ [20:41] Saamm: but the 'beta' one at least has 14 [20:41] i need help getting pulseaudio to work: my computer currently has no sound. desktop ubuntu 11.04, 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) - Sound Preferences Hardware is set to Analog Stereo Duplex. i was messing with that, trying to get it not to sound like glass smashing on foil, and it quit working. [20:42] escott, didn't work. [20:42] Saamm: you can also back up the entire chromium *everything* with rsync -avz --numeric-ids /home/youruser/.config/chromium /home/youruser/chromium-backup [20:42] for my next death defying trick i get to take apart the washing machine. can someone help with ubuntu sound? [20:42] Saamm: then if anything breaks, you can reinstall the old version and copy all the stuff back over [20:43] http://paste.ubuntu.com/701229/ [20:43] chalcedony: type 'alsamixer' in a console and see what is muted [20:43] if anything [20:43] htl, check your spelling [20:44] Shirakawasuna, Ok I exported bookmarks, deleted them and then reimported...its working fine. Downloading Chrome 14 from website. Thanks for the help :) [20:44] Shirakawasuna: how do I perform the file system check on the device? [20:44] Shirakawasuna, it looks like maybe is - and that's the plug i have my speakers in? [20:45] Saamm: sure thing! :D [20:46] Shirakawasuna, but it does talk when i do speaker test in the terminal. [20:46] Ghost1227|cloud - like nvidia cp can point what monitor is prime... no clue, man, sorry..... [20:46] george__: you use a command line program. But you need to know which one to use first, and for that you need to know what filesystem is on there. [20:46] george__: type 'mount' and find your device. You can upload the results to paste.ubuntu.com if they're all greek to you [20:47] chalcedony: if headphones is muted and that's where you expect sound to come out, you should unmute the headphones [20:47] Shirakawasuna: Aas I said, I don't quite know what kind is. To mount it I have to sudo umount -t vfat /dev/sdb /mnt/mp4player [20:47] oops! [20:47] george__, you can try to just fsck /dev/sdX# and hope fsck can figure out what kind of partition it is, but if its not being identified in the disk utility that probably won't work [20:47] george__: okay, then it's probably vfat [20:47] george__: but I want to see the output of mount to be sure [20:47] Shirakawasuna, i don't see how to do that? [20:47] george__: if you run the wrong program on it at the wrong time, you could destroy the filesystem [20:48] ok, it worked. thank you escott! [20:48] chalcedony: in alsamixer, move left/right until you've highlighted the right one, then hit 'm' to mute or unmute [20:48] anyone know why after my computer froze while ddrescue was running, it would report upon reboot "ddrescue: write error: Input/output error" [20:48] escott:Disk Utility identifies [20:48] it [20:49] Shirakawasuna: Sorry for the noobness, but how can I get the mount output? [20:49] Sean_: I don't know why in particular, but I would make sure the drive isn't full. [20:49] Shirakawasuna, doesn't change the color - it's the only one that isn't green/white/red with blue at the bottom. [20:49] george__: open up a terminal and type 'mount' [20:49] george__: (and the enter) [20:50] Shirakawasuna, the drive isn't full [20:50] evening [20:50] chalcedony: it should change the bottom part. It should change between 'm' and something else every time you hit 'm' [20:50] actually 'MM' and something else. [20:50] Shirakawasuna: Here is the output: http://pastie.org/2628613 [20:50] shinkamui, nope [20:50] i'm having trouble getting started with bluetooth on hardy (headless box); anyone know of a tutorial? I found some for 10.04+, but those instructions don't seem to get me the neccessary files (no `hcitool` etc) [20:50] er Shirakawasuna no it's not .. does nothing. [20:51] Sean_: not sure then, but I'm not an expert at that by any means [20:51] Shirakawasuna, i appreciate it.. [20:51] i'm just not sure why it looks that way [20:51] just for a heads-up.. if I want to install Grub to a different HDD than it is in now (HDD faulty; need to nuke it), all it takes is 'sudo os-prober' and 'sudo grub-install /dev/$insertDeviceNodeHere', right? [20:51] george__: it looks like it isn't mounted [20:51] george__: what is the output of sudo fdisk -l [20:52] if i change the image file but keep the same log file ddrescue continues without any errors, is there anyway i could stich the two files together at the end? [20:52] chalcedony: that's a bit weird, I dunno. [20:52] chalcedony: I don't really know what pulse does to things, perhaps that's part of the issue. [20:53] Sean_, you can use cat to combine files [20:53] Shirakawasuna, yeah.. i updatead the drivers because of the crunching [20:54] Shirakawasuna, i turned things off and on again in the gui stuff [20:54] Shirakawasuna: Here it goes: http://pastie.org/2628626 [20:54] poof.. [20:54] how can i tell which video driver i'm using? [20:54] My taskbar got departed in 2 [20:54] and i want to have a single menu bar colour [20:54] can some1 help me [20:54] how can I upgrade ubuntu from 9.04 to the last stable through the command line? [20:55] Hilikus, in a terminal type: lspci | grep -i audio [20:55] magma, you have to go through the intermediate versions [20:55] !eol | magma, see the 2nd link [20:55] magma, see the 2nd link: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [20:55] chalcedony: this is for video, not audio [20:55] Hilikus, heh try video ? [20:55] george__: that's a sad-looking device. I think you should consider reformatting it. Make sure you have backed up everything that's on it before you do anything else to it. [20:55] escott: how? [20:56] magma, given the number of changes between 9.04 and 11.04 (and then 11.10) you might just want to reinstall, but its just do-release-upgrade 4 times [20:57] george__: So, my recommendation (in order) is 1) Back up everything on that device. 2) Make sure it is unmounted ('mount' should have no entry for /dev/sdb1). 3) run sudo fsck.vfat /devs/db1. 4) Check sudo fdisk -l again and see if it's happier. Also see if you can delete that file. 5) If anything is still weird, reformat: sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1. [20:57] i'm searching for a german speaking person to help me [20:57] i'm new [20:57] how can i upgrade my video drivers. i use an intel integrated card [20:57] !de | Anon42 [20:57] please private message me [20:57] Anon42: In den meisten Ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuche bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Einfach "/join #ubuntu-de" eingeben. Danke für Dein Verständnis! [20:57] Hi everyone, am I on the right channel if I need to get help with troubleshooting my ubuntu router config...ive tryied many tutorial and still cant ping outside router from a local machine [20:57] please [20:57] george__: that partition table also looks funky, but I don't know whether it's something you want to mess around with, as this is a media device and I don't know if it expects a particular type. [20:57] ok danke [20:58] escott: "An upgrade from 'jaunty' to 'lucid' is not supported with this tool." [20:58] Shirakawasuna: Ok, thanks for all. But, I have a question: If I reformat it, the firmware will be gone? I mean, It will work? I don't care losing the files that the device has, anyway... [20:59] magma one step at a time [20:59] george__: It depends on how the device is made. It may or may not remove the firmware. A safer path to reformatting might be to use whatever software the media device came with to restore it to 'factory settings' or whatever. [20:59] george__: that's what I used to do with my iPod when I would corrupt the filesystem. I'd plug it in, run windows, and use the iTunes stuff to reformat + reinstall the software. [21:00] Guys, I can't make a wifi USB dongle to work in 11.04. Already tried everything on google [21:00] magma, follow the eol instructions that were sent to you earlier then [21:00] ok thanks [21:00] george__: also, a tip I learned in that process: always make sure your device is fully unmounted and is displaying the 'safe to remove' sign before unplugging it. If you just unplug it right away, it could damage the filesystem. [21:00] it's a ID 0bda:8176 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. [21:00] anyone happen to have this dongle ? [21:00] george__: that's how I used to destroy my iPod's filesystem ;). [21:01] Could someone help me with my networking problem, please? [21:01] Shirakawasuna: Ok, thank you very much. I''l take notes of what you said and try it later. [21:02] george__: np! [21:02] Hi guys. [21:02] hi [21:02] hey [21:03] HELP! I tried Gnome3.2, and I don't like it. How can I rollback? [21:03] bagels, reinstall [21:03] escott, what, ubuntu? [21:03] !gnome3 | bagels [21:03] !gnome3 [21:03] bagels: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and cannot be downgraded safely. [21:04] after applying all rules needed in iptables why can connections go through my ubuntu firewal??? [21:04] *ca't [21:04] if I reinstall, can I keep all my programs/settings? [21:04] bagels: Which version do you use? [21:04] *can't [21:04] !clone | bagels [21:04] bagels: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [21:04] natty onder [21:04] bagels: 1) Back up everything. 2) Attempt downgrading and reinstalling everything. 3) when this fails, reinstall ubuntu using the 'clone' stuff that yeats just listed. [21:05] hello [21:05] Shirakawasuna, how do I downgrade everything? [21:06] hello [21:06] after applying all rules needed in iptables why can't connections go through my ubuntu firewal??? [21:06] i am from the cia [21:07] bagels: I am new to ubuntu/debian, so I would read up on it carefully first and write up a strategy for doing all of this. You want to reverse all of the apt-get install lines you wrote to install gnome3 with apt-get autoremove --purge. You then want to find a strategy for reinstalling all of your packages left. I don't really know what that is, but I'm sure it's possible. [21:07] anoteuh: oh no, you blew your cover! [21:07] bagels: make sure that you back everything up first. That's the most important step. [21:07] bagels: Did you install from PPA? [21:07] bagels: If so, install and run ppa-purge on it [21:07] Polah, yes I did. [21:08] Polah, what is ppa-purge [21:08] Polah, can I do it for gnome [21:08] bagels: also read this: http://nirajsk.wordpress.com/2011/04/24/gnome-3-on-ubuntu-11-04/ [21:08] !ppa-purge | bagels [21:08] bagels: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [21:08] is there a way to use the torbrowser with ubuntu? [21:08] bagels: Does what it sayson the tin. Reverses changes made by PPAs. [21:08] bagels, after the ppa-purge you will not have a functional gui [21:08] or a software that hides your ip like hotspot shield? [21:08] escott, bagels My GNOME2 functioned, Unity was broken. [21:09] escott is there anything to do other than reinstall ofmy system then [21:09] if so I'd rather do that [21:09] bagels: like they're saying, you should expect things to be broken after downgrading, so you'll need to reinstall things like unity [21:10] reinstalling ubuntu-desktop might help, I dunno [21:10] bagels, the upgrade path to 11.10 might be better, but you use ppa's sparingly [21:10] Shirakawasuna, do you know anything about networking? [21:10] sciiam: Just ask your question to the channel. [21:10] sciiam: not a ton, I mostly just beat my head against a networking problem and google it. [21:10] if i don't have an xorg.conf how can i tell what settings is x11 using? [21:11] Hilikus, look at the /var/log/Xorg.0.log [21:11] Hilikus: you can also look at /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d for settings installed for some specific devices [21:11] Polah: I've asked many questions already im here since 15 minutes and no one ever replied anything yet [21:11] escott so how can I upgrade? [21:11] !upgrade [21:11] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [21:11] sciiam: sorry, I can't help with the iptables stuff :/ [21:12] hi! Can someone help me in this question: http://askubuntu.com/questions/64016/access-workstations-without-public-ip-maybe-with-vpn ? [21:13] Shirakawasuna, I've been googling all day and trying tutorials so that network traffic can go through my firewall but nothing changed [21:13] Shirakawasuna, thanks anyway [21:15] sciiam, not sure i know any answers but could you be more specific about what exactly your network setup is and what isnt working [21:19] escott, I connected ISP modem to eth0 and my local computer to eth1 of a ubuntu desktop (lets call this one the firewall). Then I added some rules in iptables and installed a dhcp server. DHCP server is working like a charm but I can't even ping my ISP modem or anything on interet from computer in my local network. [21:19] hi how can i install many programs at once in one command in terminal? [21:20] Why won't update manager let me upgrade?

[21:26] stercor: export LC_TIME=something [21:26] seidell, how are you trying to install it [21:29] anyone know where Google Chrome is installed to by default? [21:30] andyvy: Files for installed programs go in many places. Your preferences go in ~/.chrome probably [21:31] Polah: I'm missing the shortcut to Chrome in Applications menu, need original install path to put it back in there. [21:31] andyvy, which chrome if it is in your path [21:31] escott: normal. sudo apt-get install skype [21:32] !ppa-purge [21:32] To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [21:32] escott: Google Chrome (Stable) whatever you download from www.google.com/chrome [21:32] andyvy: usually its /usr/bin/chromium-browser [21:32] andyvy: Do you know the command to start it from a terminal? [21:32] !info skype | seidell [21:32] seidell: Package skype does not exist in natty [21:32] seidell, download a .deb from the website [21:32] Polah: I do not because I haven't started it once yet. So there's no ~/.chrome generated yet [21:33] escott: ok thx [21:33] andyvy, im not asking which im saying `which chrome` [21:33] andyvy, type chrom then hit tab in terminal [21:33] then use that name as the shortcut command [21:33] chromium is chromium or chromium-browser not sure for chrome, probably "chrome" [21:34] Gentoo64: hmm, nothing happening, let me try purging and reinstalling. [21:34] hit tab twice [21:34] did, nothing Gentoo64 [21:34] ok [21:35] chrome is a game ;) [21:35] ah, got it, it's google-chrome in cmd. [21:36] ActionParsnip, is it? dont you mean chromium-bsu? [21:37] andyvy, ah sorry telling you wrong command [21:37] that game really is impossible on hardest [21:37] Gentoo64: no problem, thanks for help anyway. I couldn't purge "chrome" but it did find "google-chrome" in the list that way so all is good. [21:37] Gentoo64: I just know chrome as a game [21:38] ah an fps just googled it [21:39] Can anyone tell me why Wubi would get a permission denied error when I'm logged in as an Administrator? (Windows XP) [21:40] because it fails [21:41] Why would if fail? [21:41] no idea [21:41] ScottyBoy, what exactly is giving you this error [21:42] ScottyBoy, is there any reason you need it inside windows? are you testing/trying an easy install? [21:42] id seriously put it on its own partition / drive [21:43] and use a livecd for testing [21:43] I downloaded Wubi today, and after it installed all the necessary files, it gave me a permission denied error, and told me to look at an error log. I'm new to this, so I figured the Wubi installer was the easiest way to go [21:43] does webcam work on emesene? [21:44] ScottyBoy, if you boot from the livecd you can install alongside windows it auto partitions [21:44] its better because youll get the proper FS and if anything happens to win it wont mess up ubuntu [21:44] ScottyBoy: from my experience, I'd steer clear of Wubi if possible [21:44] Ah, so I need to download the ISO, and burn it onto a CD. Easy 'nuff. [21:44] Gentoo64 is right in that using the livecd or usb is quite easy to figure out as a first-timer [21:44] ScottyBoy, you need to be more specific about this error if you want any help [21:44] yea its not hard at all, just boot it [21:45] ScottyBoy: exactly === OY1R_ is now known as OY1R [21:45] escott, http://pastebin.com/MBfHrqJZ [21:46] Okay, thanks guys.

[22:40] ok [22:40] buntu1104: log off and log in to ubuntu classic session [22:40] ok [22:40] ActionParsnip: Rebooting fixes the problem [22:41] even with no commands [22:41] I was just trying to find the cause of it [22:41] bceause it seems to happen when using a program with a gstreamer backend [22:41] Zimm3r: yes but the option will kick in after you reboot and you can test [22:41] ActionParsnip: but since the data can flow without encryption, maybe that means that my usb hosts are working ... [22:41] ok [22:41] thanks [22:41] Zimm3r: you only want ONE of those lines in the file. Test it for an hour or so between (or until it fails) [22:42] /usr/bin/x :0 -nr -verbose -auth /var/gdm-auth-for-gdm -nolisten tcp vt7 " What is this process? Taking way to much cpu time. It is ran by root [22:42] Cheapshot, X the graphics server [22:42] I never saw an option to load ubuntu classic [22:42] I have a problem when booting, on every boot the system always stalls at "udevd inotify_add_watch... file or directory not found" - is there any way I can shorten the boot stall of this? [22:43] !classic | buntu1104 [22:43] buntu1104: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". [22:44] wladston: what chip does the stick use? [22:44] escott: Any idea why come it is taking around 10-20% CPU time? I'm running lubuntu on a 450n atom netbook. But i think this problem has occurred just recently [22:44] wladston: are there any bugs relating to the mesaages in dmesg? [22:44] buntu1104, you get the box only after clicking on your user name, kinda confusing at first [22:45] Cheapshot, X will use cpu to draw the graphics requested by your gui applications [22:45] lo all. My google-fu is weak today. I want to run a script as root on login (i have autologin enabled). I tried to put it in the startup tool, but it wont work, i then tried putting sudo in front, and it wont work. (i assume its asking for my password). I know there is init.rc, but im not exactly sure what to look for [22:45] ActionParsnip: it uses the RTL8192CU [22:45] Cheapshot, so its not really X that is responsible, its whatever your gui applications that are requiring updates to the screen [22:45] SSilver2k2: What is your end goal? [22:45] ActionParsnip: going to google the dmesg now [22:46] Jordan_U: myscript.sh is run at login [22:46] Jordan_U: myscript.sh is run at login as root [22:46] escott: Okay that made more sense. Means my browser is causing it atm. thx [22:46] SSilver2k2: That's not an end goal. What does myscript.sh do? [22:47] [o'-+ [22:47] Jordan_U: myscript.sh is a shell script provided by Elo to that automatically sets up my Touch screen [22:47] anyway to get pulseaudio to work without static/distortions [22:48] SSilver2k2: would that script work on the hp touch? [22:48] only if its powered by an Elo Touch Panel [22:49] !sound | SetiAmon [22:49] SetiAmon: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [22:49] SSilver2k2: /etc/rc.local [22:49] SSilver2k2: Add "/path/to/myscript.sh" to /etc/rc.local before "exit 0". I would also highly recommend having myscript.sh be in a directory like /bin/ rather than your home directory and with only read permissions for all users except root. [22:49] How do I get root privlages in the GUI of Ubuntu 11.04? [22:49] ty [22:49] yeats I been threw the faqs,I can't personally find a solution on the forums except to replace pulse with oss4 which works flawlessly except i loose volume control [22:50] (Not in the shell) [22:50] Install 11.10 beta or wait for full release --discuss! [22:50] ActionParsnip: wasn't able to find anything [22:50] wolfmitchell: What are you trying to accomplish exactly? [22:50] ActionParsnip: just #795770, with is unrelated [22:50] any danger in installing 11.10 beta? [22:50] wolfmitchell, there is usually a way to accomplish a task with doing that [22:50] I am trying to move the 10.10 files onto my USB drive but it says I dont have the permissions to do that. [22:50] wolfmitchell, gksudo [22:51] Ok [22:51] Brb [22:51] pros977: SetiAmon: Discussion of unreleased versions of Ubuntu in #ubuntu+1 or #ubuntu-offtopic (if it's not a support question). [22:51] wolfmitchell: What 10.10 files? [22:51] The install ones [22:52] hello, is there a ppa for gnumeric latest stable version for the LTS version of Ubuntu [22:52] I want to go from 11.04 to 10.10 [22:52] wolfmitchell: You can't simply copy the files over and get a bootable drive. Use a tool like Startup Disk Creator or Unetbootin. [22:52] !gnumeric [22:52] Ok [22:52] ty all. that worked [22:52] Btw what should I put in as the application name for the file manager? [22:52] SSilver2k2: You're welcome. [22:53] ActionParsnip: wow, googling some parts will only show my pastebin of 13 minutes ago [22:55] gonna reboot my router just to clear my conscience .. [22:55] brb === mike is now known as Guest33286 === drapedup is now known as draped^BRB [22:56] Is there another way to downgrade to 10.10 other than the installer? [22:57] !downgrade [22:57] Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported and may break your system. [22:57] Hi, I'm trying to use the scrubyt ruby gem but am having problems. it seems to require firewatir, but when I try to install that I get "Error installing firewatir: [22:57] hoe requires RubyGems version >= 1.4. Try 'gem update --system' to update RubyGems itself." but when I do that I get "gem update --system is disabled on Debian, because it will overwrite the content of the rubygems Debian package, and might break your Debian system in subtle ways. The Debian-supported way to update rubygems is through apt-get, using Debian official repositories" [22:57] My rubygems package is up do date, I'm on 11.04 [22:57] I need to downgrade as 11.04 is glitching my whole computer [22:58] And I'm not going to a beta release. [22:59] Guest33286, what is this script supposed to do [22:59] wolfmitchell: backup and then install an older version [22:59] Oh great... [22:59] my wow is in the c folder of wine, how can i make shortcut to the desktop [22:59] My USB drive wont mount [22:59] wolfmitchell: that's a way to downgrade [23:00] admin:scott [23:00] hello? [23:00] Hi! === scott_ is now known as Guest94055 [23:00] hello [23:01] Monkey-My USB drive wont mount [23:01] Ubuntu 11.10 is the best operating system ever! [23:01] Hello [23:01] !details| wolfmitchell [23:01] wolfmitchell: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [23:01] if i'm upgraded to oneiric beta, should lsb_release be 11.04 or 11.10? cause it says 11.04 natty even though sources.list and all installed packages are 11.10 [23:01] Hello everyone [23:01] Hi noelia [23:01] I plugged in my USB thumb drive and it will not mount [23:02] wolfmitchell: did it mount before? [23:02] @wolfmitchell try to mount in "Disk Manager" [23:02] Thats how i got ubuntu in the first place. [23:02] rebooted the router ... nothing [23:02] even changed my password to "asdfasdf" ... nothing [23:03] Hyper-In preferences or administration? [23:03] @wolfmitchell with SU [23:03] Nvm [23:03] uhm does anyone know were ~/.asoundrc exist?I did a system search I am suppose to do something to fix my sound with it but the faq doesn't say were it is at or were to create it [23:04] SetiAmon: ~ would be your home directory [23:04] HyperHoax, wolfmitchell: sudo, not su. [23:04] SetiAmon: it's possible that no such file exists yet [23:04] SetiAmon: since usually it is not needed anymore [23:04] @Polah yea, but it is both SuperUser ;) [23:04] Pj [23:05] Ok, now I dont think my disk is supported, and it is not finding my thumb drive... [23:05] HyperHoax: No. sudo runs a single command as root. su logs in under root for that terminal. Logging in as such should be done using sudo -i [23:05] Switching ports [23:05] oh snap i'm using a old faq for 10.10 or something.So if i were to creat a text file named ~/.asoundrc and put it in my home dir it would be pointless? [23:05] @Polah thanks for that information! [23:06] @Polah I use: "sudo su" [23:06] I'm starting to believe that it's simply impossible to make this 8192cu driver work [23:06] any other idea ? === derp is now known as Cream [23:06] HyperHoax: Yeah that's kind of a hack way to do it. The proper way is sudo -i [23:06] I've been trying to fix this issue for like 6 hours today [23:06] @Polah Owkay thank you! === jcpham0 is now known as jcpham [23:07] hello [23:07] i installed chhromium, but unlike the other programs when i click on it in the side bar it opens a new instance [23:07] wladston, im just going to throw out a stupid question. are all the wpa options correct (like wpa vs wpa2 and such?) [23:07] i want it to take me to the current one, does anyone know how to change this? [23:07] What channel do I need for bugs? [23:08] ** Sorry for my bad English [23:08] pvgrif: the router is set to wpa/wpa2 aes/tkip. the network manager is set to wpa/wpa2 [23:08] pvgrif: I tried all the wpa variations (since I can't use WEP) and it doesn't work for any [23:09] wladston: i think that was meant for somebody else [23:09] pvgrif: what command does the menu item run? I use chromium and it switches to the running instance [23:09] ActionParsnip: i ve been looking for that command, where can i find it? [23:09] pvgrif: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc [23:11] pvgrif: should be output when you run: grep -i exec /usr/share/applications/chromium-browser.desktop | head -n 1 [23:11] ActionParsnip: natty [23:11] ActionParsnip: Exec=/usr/bin/chromium-browser %U [23:11] ActionParsnip: should that be a small u? [23:12] Could anybody know where can I talk about bugs? [23:12] It finally mounted [23:12] -_- === kunwon1 is now known as GhostInZSH === chris_ is now known as Guest29594 [23:13] pvgrif: nar its an uppercase U here too [23:14] pvgrif: very strange, have you configured Unity to spawn another instance at all (not sure if it can do that [23:14] Where would I find the startup disk creator? === mimico is now known as mimico_away [23:15] ActionParsnip: i dont think so, i configured it as default browser manually because chromium kept asking, but thats all [23:15] Nvm [23:16] anyone, what is the best utility for creating a system image of my ubuntu install? [23:16] many ways pcd2 [23:17] pvgrif: onnly difference I can think is that I'm using the daily build, otherwise not sure. Does it happen as another user [23:17] looking for what anyone considers "the best." [23:17] purely opinion of course. [23:17] pcd2: there is no single best tool for anything in any OS [23:17] pcd2: someones opinion doesn;t make it best ;)_ [23:18] agreed. which tool do you prefer? only looking for opinion of what YOU think is the best. [23:18] pcd2: you can use partimage (not sure of its ext4 support) [23:18] pcd2: you can defimately use dd and make an image [23:18] ActionParsnip: im not sure i only have one user besides root [23:18] pvgrif: make another.... your OS can hold thousands of local users [23:19] pvgrif: did you think ubuntu could only hold one user? [23:19] i'll have to look up partimage. never tried making an image of any linux install. [23:19] pcd2 i would make a installed package list & backup home, could be done wit rsync/Grsync === Rainbow-Dash-EN is now known as Pooptickler [23:19] pcd2: dd will do it for sure, partimage allows the data to be compressed. [23:19] it gave me an error now that I'm short on the space, I have plenty of space on my HD how can I move the ubunntu on another partation or resize its size ? [23:20] I have a question about hard drives, and I'm not sure if it is different for win/linux... Basically, I want a main, bootable drive for my OS and programs. Secondly, I want two drives in a raid setup so that they are identical to each other. is that possible? === Pooptickler is now known as Rainbow-Dash-EN [23:20] ActionParsnip: hmmm, nope, i just have one user now, i could create another one from the console, however i dont think that will affect the desktop so i would have to log out and i cant right now [23:20] pcd2: I suggest you perform house keeping to reduce backed up data (remove old kernels and stuff like that) [23:20] ok. i think i did read something on dd while i was just cruising around. [23:20] !cloning [23:20] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [23:20] thanks Action. have done that. ready for the cloning. [23:20] ActionParsnip: what i mean, changing users from the console wont affect the desktop or does it? [23:20] pvgrif: the new user wil have default settings. You current user has all many of configureations [23:20] Can anyone tell me how to get routing/using Ubuntu as a switch working without the walkthrus that don't work on here? [23:21] pvgrif: if the new user is differenct and acts how you expect then its your settings at fault, if it is the same then it is the application [23:21] pvgrif: you create a new user then log off, then log in as the new user [23:21] thank you Oerheks. [23:21] pvgrif: can you see the idea now? [23:21] ActionParsnip: alright thanks, as soon as i can log out i ll try that === Rainbow-Dash-EN is now known as Pooptickler [23:21] hello [23:21] Who in here is a brony? [23:22] pvgrif: can you see how it would directly affect the desktop [23:22] ActionParsnip: yes [23:22] Pooptickler: do you have an ubuntu support question [23:22] yes [23:22] pvgrif: its called isolating the issue [23:22] does any body know hoe to solve this, it gave me an error now that I'm short on the space, I have plenty of space on my HD how can I move the ubunntu on another partation or resize its size ? [23:22] Pooptickler: ask away [23:22] how do I install Internet Explorer? [23:23] Hello [23:23] Does anybody read me? [23:23] hi, may I know how to purge all settings related to GNOME3 in my folder? [23:23] yes noelia [23:23] Pooptickler: there is ies4linux which runs badly, the only real way is with virtualization which will require a windows install media and license [23:23] noelia: loud and clear [23:23] archl: gnome3 isn't supported here [23:23] I installed GNOME 3 from PPA and it come up with issues while the root user enter GNOME3 === Pooptickler is now known as Rainbow-Dash-EN [23:24] it gave me an error now that I'm short on the space, I have plenty of space on my HD how can I move the ubunntu on another partation or resize its size ? [23:24] can anyone help with routing through an ubuntu box? [23:24] ActionParsnip: isn't here a community, just a general help please, :D [23:24] archl: logging on as root to the desktop is also not supported [23:24] archl: ask in #gnome [23:24] ActionParsnip: ok [23:24] Islam, is it a wubi install inside windows ? [23:24] yes [23:24] I'm having some serious problems here, with my new mobo I bought last friday. [23:24] its a wubi, how can I solve it ? [23:25] Everything is correctly connected, the processor, the fan, hard drives...etc. [23:25] I installed it myself [23:25] It has an Intel GMA3100 onboard [23:25] But whenever I try to turn the computer on, it does work, but the screen doesn't turn on [23:25] I don't know what to do [23:25] This is frustrating [23:25] noelia: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:25] Any ideas? [23:25] noelia: give details all on one line and we'll see if we can advise [23:25] Islam sorry, you can't increase the partition [23:25] I have a problem when booting, on every boot the system always stalls at "udevd inotify_add_watch... file or directory not found" - is there any way I can shorten the boot stall of this? [23:25] noelia: tried the boot option: nomodeset [23:25] so what, I have to reinstall it or what ? [23:26] Islam: is the space shortage in Ubuntu itself of teh Windows partition holding the image? [23:26] Islam yes, the only solution i know, reinstall. [23:26] is there any way I can move it to another partition ? [23:26] ActionParsnip I can't, the screen doesn't turn on [23:26] noelia: then i'd ask in ##hardware [23:26] the ubuntu not thw windows [23:26] !nomodeset | noelia [23:26] noelia: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [23:27] i understand the wubi needs more space, ActionParsnip [23:27] Islam: did you used Wubi to install Ubuntu? [23:27] yes [23:27] OerHeks: yeah just trying to clear that up [23:27] Islam: so is the partition the wubi image is on, low on space or is it the space you have assigned to wubi low and making ubuntu not boot? [23:28] anyone can help me to make the 8192cu wireless driver to work with WPA ? [23:28] Guys, who here watches My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic? [23:28] its booting and I'm on ubuntu now and it gave me an error that there is a short in space with my user [23:29] Hi! I asked on #ubuntu+1 but got no answer: how to I bind a shortkey to get the dash in default search mode (from the unity menu in ccsm, it seems I can only bind a shortkey to "run a command", I'd rather wish to search through the default applications). [23:29] Islam: can you reach the desktop? [23:29] yeah I'm on it !

[23:33] Islam hi can u spick arabic? [23:33] ActionParsnip: I really like those kind of responses. Like asking a general dpkg question in #debian and they say, oh you're on ubuntu, get the fok out of here. I really to like that open-minded spirit.

Ubuntu can speak Arabic [23:33] MrZepeda_: he is persian ( iranian ) [23:33] baba room haton tamam nmishe k [23:33] ok actionparsnip now what ?

[23:34] omido: when you send a command to another in bash, you use a pipe, so using the same in linux bots makes sense :) [23:35] Strav: you are asking in the wrong channel, end of story [23:35] ah, the nazi's, the ultimate insult :) [23:35] Life.

See how you gave the info without spamming the channel [23:36] yeah I know the url and so, I just didnt know that system, sorry [23:36] ActionParsnip: as I first said in my very first post: I did in the proper channel, I'm asking here as a fallback. Just like I'd be asking a dpkg question in debian if no one here would be able to answer. Anyways, this is pathetic. [23:37] thanx for your kindness actionparsnip [23:37] Strav: This channel is for support discussion regarding released and supported versions of Ubuntu. Not development verisions, and certainly not for complaining about channel policy that you disagree with. Please stop now, this is your last warning. [23:37] Strav: oneiric isn't supported here, so it isn't a fallback [23:38] Strav: havent you be given answear 6 minutes ago in #ubuntu+1 ? [23:38] Strav: I suggest you read the channel policy, which you agreed to by using the channels. Its really that simple [23:38] qin: not really. (and when I asked here there was no answer on ubuntu+1) === owner is now known as Schwaggg [23:39] can someone here help me with a grub setup?

[23:39] Strav: no idea whom that is [23:39] i asked the question, about grub setup, perhaps you should learn to read? thanks for your opinion though xD [23:39] Samanta: yes I can speak arabic [23:40] Schwaggg: You have yet to ask a specific question, and I don't appreciate your attitude.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:41] Schwaggg: grub is a complex animal, try being specific [23:41] schmidtm_: no idea man, people need to get a grip / clue [23:42] please be patient, we all volunteer :-) [23:42] wrong target, guess Jordan_U has his size 9s on :) [23:42] http://paste.ubuntu.com/701301/ [23:44] Islam: ok, run: sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-2.6.38-8-generic; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove [23:45] fck [23:45] done [23:45] Islam: you may also want to then install bleachbit run it as user, then root and clean stuff up. avoid settings which say they will take a long time and watch your browser and other app settings or it will remove settings you want [23:46] I have more than 100 GB free space on another partition [23:46] can I move it ? [23:46] or extend the space [23:47] Islam: yes . you can use Gparted or any other partitioning tool you are familiar with .(using a live CD like gparted or parted magic is suggested ) [23:47] Islam: is teh partition in your wubi disk? [23:47] omido: its a wubi thing [23:48] not if it's HFS+ [23:48] oh . wubi is terrible . i dont recommand it to anyone [23:48] yeah my q is if I extended the partition the wubi on it will give me more space ? [23:48] what's wubi [23:48] you'll need a OS X installed or get a live disc running that can handle that filesystem [23:48] or its about the space I modified on wubi while installing ? [23:48] xistanme: ubuntu's windows installer or something [23:48] !wubi | xistanme [23:48] xistanme: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. For Ubuntu Maverick/10.10 http://releases.ubuntu.com/maverick/wubi.exe === McPeter_ is now known as McPeter [23:51] While installing Ubuntu on a new machine, I created a new partition table on the wrong drive. Is there an easy way to get it back to NTFS and hopefully recognize the files? I don't think I've done anything else to the drive beyond changing the partition table. [23:52] It's just a media drive, so not a big deal either way. But it would be great if I don't have to move everything around again. [23:52] actionsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/701305/ you see it says I have 35G available ! how do I extend the space I already gave to wubi while installing ? [23:53] or how can I make it use all the free space on the partation ? [23:53] omido: ana from Egypt [23:54] thriondil: Yes, testdisk can do that rather easily (as long as that's really all that's been done). [23:54] Could you direct me to a good tutorial/FAQ? I've never used testdisk. [23:55] !ar | Islam [23:55] Islam: La comunidad local de Argentina se puede encontrar en #ubuntu-ar y en su canal de offtopic: #ubuntu-ar-cafe [23:55] oh sorry i thought "ar" stands for arabic . [23:55] why be difficult, just use gparted. Problem solved, end of story. [23:55] lol, no problem [23:55] Islam: i'm iranian [23:56] thriondil: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step [23:56] thriondil: there are some tutorials one the testdisk official website [23:56] nice to meet you omido [23:56] godfather: I was under the impression that it wouldn't help [23:56] I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a laptop, but no matter what version I try to install, it gives me two options: 1. Erase and use the whole disk or 2. Specify partitions manually (which I don't know how to do, and I don't want to damage windows) [23:56] thanks jordan / avelldiroll [23:56] thriondil: You're welcome. [23:57] would be a good idea to defragment the partition a couple times if it's a windows filesystem, and then resize, and then finally shrink/repartition [23:57] Islam: same here . btw try to install ubuntu the normal way . wubie is not so good . [23:57] is there a way to enable user list in xchat? [23:57] nac-godfather: There's like 4 different partitions, which one do I resize? [23:57] but I already installed alot of things here, beside I need the windows OS in case I needed it [23:57] some good advice; do not allow the installer to overwrite your windows bootloader, but instead manually select the linux partition (target volume) and then set that partition active. [23:58] TroN-0074: /names ? You can try /join #xchat too. [23:59] When I boot into the 10.10 live USB I made, it asks me for the kernel filename... [23:59] What is it? [23:59] If I were you, and assuming they're all shared windows drives: Is clean up as much as possible before repartitioning. Condense if need be. [23:59] Hi, my ubuntu crashed, My syslog said "failed command: READ DMA", does it mean my motherboard is bad? [23:59] you need a new install image
