[00:00] Islam: you can have both windows and linux . you dont have to install it using wubi in order to have windows too. [00:00] unless you wanna deal with grub commands as a noob [00:00] Nvm I think I found it [00:01] @qin Thank you [00:01] omido : aha cool, but what can I do know after installing and customizing all this things on here, its hard to reinstall all this ! [00:01] 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 do [00:01] can anyone help me to make a wpa connection using the 8192cu driver ? [00:01] omido: and by the way can I install ubuntu on a partition and takes all the space on it ? [00:01] well I'm gonna play some GTAIV EFLC TBOGT before I go tackle a $70 Windows backup andclean install. [00:01] Good luck [00:01] hey [00:02] Islam: not so hard. imho it worths . you can upgrade your normally installed ubuntu at any time . like upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 . but i think in wubi you cant . [00:02] Islam: nope . you can shrink your partitions and use extended partitions . no need to remove a partition . [00:03] It had "ata1.00: BMDMA stat 0x4" [00:03] I mean can I install ubuntu on an empty linux partation ? [00:05] yes, but make sure you put grub on the boot sector of that partition and then flag that partition active, and adjust your boot priority if also necessary. You can always chainload your windows loader. [00:05] is there a way to add keyboard shortcuts in System->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts via terminal? [00:05] there isnt a solve for my problem ? [00:06] good luck. Did you really just ask that like someone is going to google it for ya? [00:06] what a jerk [00:07] what a jerk [00:07] Islam: yes you can install to the empty parttion, you wil need an extra one for swap too [00:08] nac-godfather: not constructive [00:08] yeah I can handle that, but how actionparsnip [00:08] Islam: i suggest you delete the partition, then boot to live CD and install to the free space. You say the partition is empty so there will be no data to destroy [00:09] I'm so glad Ubuntu with a download link is at the top of google search with a download link. :3 [00:09] People would be lost trying to discover linux in general. [00:09] but I'll lose all the program and customization I did on this img I have already, [00:09] so you say the best way is to reinstall it ? [00:10] Islam: remember to MD5 test the iso [00:11] I dont know how [00:11] !md5 [00:11] 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 [00:11] anyone knows a quick fix to bring the brightness down. my eyes are burning. [00:12] MrZepeda_: use your function keys [00:12] MrZepeda: gamma [00:12] MrZepeda_: Change monitor brightness? O_O [00:12] do I need to do the test ? I downloaded the iso from the ubuntu.com ! [00:13] yeah like if I press the keys it decreases but the lower bound is not enough [00:13] Islam: irrelevant, the data can be mangled in transit [00:13] *lowest [00:13] Islam: the source doesn't matter any at all, as long as it passes md5 test, it is ok [00:13] ActionParsnip: I'm trying to install 11.04 on my new laptop, but it freezes randomly. My laptop is pretty fast, so I don't see why this is happening. Any ideas? [00:14] Solved: test ram is a good first step, as well as checking the cd for defects on the first scren [00:14] guys is there any way to see if there's anything recoverable from a raid 0 setup that went bad? [00:15] ActionParsnip: Test ram...? Windows says its 5.7 GB [00:15] Solved: no TEST, as in health [00:15] Rehan: why not just use yur backups.. [00:16] ActionParsnip: a few files were not backed up (stupid I know) [00:16] ActionParsnip: How would I do that [00:17] ActionParsnip: the backup happens 2x a week and some of that stuff didn't get backed up in between that interval [00:17] Rehan: does ddrescue help? [00:17] Solved: its in the first screen on the liveCD [00:17] Rehan: dang, thats really unfortunate :( [00:18] hdhzero: haven't tried anything yet. Its in a windows environment. Is ddrescue on an ubuntu live cd or ultimate boot cd? thanks for helping [00:18] ActionParsnip: yeah i'm hoping i can undelete the stuff from another drive (that had it previously) [00:18] ActionParsnip: Try Ubuntu or Install? [00:19] anyone know a good game mmorpg for ubuntu? [00:19] Rehan: I don't think ubuntu comes with it. You will have to install it [00:20] hello i would like to know something ubuntu use open source driver for realtek ? [00:20] ActionParsnip: It didn't pass the Hash test thing D: [00:20] Solved: then your ISO is bad and needs redownloading [00:20] ff [00:20] Alright [00:20] Thanks [00:21] ActionParsnip: One more question, do you recommend wubi or dual-boot [00:21] i would like to talk to somewone that know about proprietary software anywone can help ? [00:22] coz i heard ubuntu has like intention to go on kernel 3 :S [00:22] Solved: dual boot is easier to fix and is not affected by the fragmentation in NTFS [00:23] so anywone can help me about getting a true open source system ?? [00:23] like kick the proprietary crAp [00:23] boam: whats the problem with kernel 3? [00:23] ActionParsnip: Hm, Ok. Is there any guids online to partitioning your drive though? I have no idea how to do it in the installer [00:24] proprietary crap inside kernel 3 my friend [00:24] boam: ask away [00:24] boam: use debian in that case [00:24] boam: kernel 3.0 isn't supported here [00:24] open source is not open source anymore [00:24] boam: sure it is [00:24] debian still has issue rely on proprietary shit too [00:24] ... [00:24] boam: Please keep the langauge clean [00:24] boam: in the gnu web they mention distros that use linux 100% free [00:24] all major distro did go bad [00:25] please don't feed the troll [00:25] boam: make your own then [00:25] boam, there is no proprietary code in the plain kernel. Ubuntu adds some to make it work better with some hardware. [00:25] lol [00:25] boam: This is the ubuntu support channel, if you need help with ubuntu please ask. [00:25] boam: this is a problem, because i believe sooner or later every distro will be using kernel 3 [00:25] Oh yay, everyone's wrong! [00:25] boam: either way, kernel 3 isnt supoprted here. I auggest you ask in #linux [00:25] no [00:26] when I setup the new ubuntu without removing this one I'm using now ? [00:26] they are mad at gnu i think [00:26] ActionParsnip: Hm, Ok. Is there any guids online to partitioning your drive though? I have no idea how to do it in the installe [00:26] r [00:26] On the one hand, the upstream kernel contains proprietary firmware blobs that are non-Free. On the other hand, Debian does not contain proprietary software in its distribution. [00:26] Solved: are you running windows right now [00:26] (contrib and non-free are not officially parts of the Debian distribution) [00:26] ActionParsnip: No, its in the installer [00:27] And the one im talking to you with is booted in ubuntu [00:27] Solved: ok lets phrase it this way: is windows installed in the same system you intend to install ubuntu to [00:27] ActionParsnip: Yes. [00:27] i would like to find a driver from ubuntu but i am not on ubuntu anywone can help ? [00:27] Solved: which version? [00:27] rww, they are firmware, so they run on special hardware and not the main cpu/ram? [00:27] im searching rtl-8187se driver the open one [00:27] ActionParsnip: Its a brand new laptop, win 7 [00:27] smw: I believe so, yes. They're still non-free. [00:27] boam: then you are not supported here if you are not using ubuntu [00:28] i am on debian [00:28] il get ubuntu if i need [00:28] Solved: boot back to windows7 and you can use windows7 to resize it's own partition to make free space, you can then install ubuntu to the free space [00:28] i need someowne to say to me where it is likely to be ? [00:28] boam: then ask in #debian [00:29] well im asking ubuntu since ubuntu has been the only distro to get this driver open [00:29] boam: which driver? [00:29] ActionParsnip: Do I have to get a program in windows? [00:29] boam: if the driver is open then all distros should be able to provide it. [00:29] ActionParsnip: how am I gonna remove this version of ubuntu I'm using now after installing the new one, or should I remove it first ? [00:29] well stop arguing for nothing all im asking is u to show me wehere the drivers are ? [00:29] boam: ask in #debian [00:29] like on an ftp.... ? [00:29] Solved: its in teh default install [00:30] Islam: you can do either [00:30] does anyone know how to install VVVVVV? [00:30] so there is no ftp where the ubuntu get synapse package ???? [00:30] boam, on linux you don't find drivers on the internet unless they are proprietary. [00:31] carl_: that's not a package [00:31] Islam: But You will lose space (about 40 GB, unless you resize afterwards) [00:31] boam: search on packages.ubuntu.com [00:31] how ? [00:31] vvvvvv the game from humble bundle 3 [00:31] there was one open i swear it was temporary the driver then got overwriten with the propretiery [00:31] thx [00:32] carl_: buy it, seek support from vendor. [00:32] Islam: You have to use a live CD or something that allows you to edit your partitions [00:32] ActionParsnip: So, I'm in Disk Management. What now? [00:32] well not a big help here more like 10 to 15 people arguing and saying obvious things that wont help [00:32] wtf [00:32] I have the one I downloaded it from the ubuntu.com [00:32] !language | boam [00:32] boam: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [00:32] how do I know if its a livecd [00:32] Islam: Burn it onto a disk [00:33] yeah I'm doing that right now [00:33] Islam: It is a live cd [00:33] thanx so much [00:34] so I have to install it from the boot not from windows, and with that I can keep the windows [00:35] ActionParsnip: Which Volume do I shrink? C: , HP_Tools , RECOVERY (D:) , or SYSTEM? I don't want to damage windows D: [00:35] gostaria de saber se alguem pode me ajudar em relação ao ubuntu e hd 2T externo? [00:35] Islam: If you want to have two seperate partitions for Windows and Ubuntu then yes you need to install it from boot [00:35] Solved: id use system [00:36] ActionParsnip: Its the second smallest D: [00:36] thanx [00:37] ActionParsnip: C: Is the biggest, should I shrink that one? [00:38] what's better arch or ubuntu [00:38] xistanme: arch [00:39] xistanme: You're in #ubuntu, so of course Ubuntu. #archlinux would presumably say Arch. [00:39] xistanme: personal preference, can't answer that. Arch is for more advanced users. [00:39] what's the difference? [00:39] xistanme: both are fine, they just have different goals and strengths, no distro is outright better than another [00:40] ActionParsnip: C: Is the biggest. Is it the one I should shrink? [00:41] xistanme: the difference is here we tell you to try and figure it out for yourself which you prefer, there they tell you to read thee manual.

[00:43] the arch wiki is pretty extensive though, and in some ways better than the ubuntu wiki due to the large amount of changes ubuntu has had over the last few years [00:43] exactly, better to point someone to a specific link, if they could google it themselves they would have.

[01:23] wish i had the exact advice. [01:23] Pcd2: After few reboots the panels are back then the icons are missing. [01:23] Pcd2: I am testing cables and hubs, their speed connections, and so .. while yours is a practical test, what mouche just said seems a more theoretical one. The interfaces and whatever decide on a speed - that is a start. Then, your test may prove actual speed... [01:24] !reset-panel | selite If it is not unity.

When you leave 11.04 up awhile (desktop) the unity (hide/unhide) bar goes under the apps open? and it wont show unless you move the app to the right? [01:29] too lazy to re-type [01:30] rhcp[linux], wish i could help but i don't use Unity at all. [01:30] Pcd2, what do you use on 11.04? [01:30] or are you on 10.X? [01:30] rhcp[linux] i use Gnome Classic from the GDM menu. [01:30] ah [01:30] 11.04 [01:30] I tried gnome3 (it didnt like my nvidia) [01:31] rhcp[linux]: you have the dodge hide setting enabled in ccsm [01:31] went back to unity [01:31] ActionParsnip, where is that? I never touched it [01:31] rhcp[linux] i've stayed completely away from the new Unity and Gnome 3 stuff. [01:31] it randomly does this [01:31] would be appricated to know where :) [01:31] rhcp[linux]: in ccsm, unity plugin settings [01:31] so i can fix this crap [01:31] it's in settings?

[01:33] ActionParsnip, is there a simple way to explore that program outside of a fresh installation (which I'd do), like a chroot? [01:33] rhcp@root:/mnt/storage/android/charge$ ccsm [01:33] Another CCSM instance already running [01:34] can i just kill -HUP it? [01:34] superL is a graphical interpreter for Perl. [01:34] jimcooncat: could virtualize to test [01:35] rhcp[linux]: don't run ccsm as root, it will set roots compiz settings which you don't want. run it as your user to change your user [01:35] Pcd2 [01:35] rhcp[linux]: I guess so, sure [01:36] I am trying to encrypt ubuntu 10.10(blackbuntu to be exact)..it is already installed...the option was not available through the installer..can i use cryptsetup through the commandline on a live cd?? [01:36] Thanks, ActionParsnip, I guess I'll vnc to my bigger work machine that has vbox on it. Appreciate you saving me from doing something stupid.

[01:37] RockMeAmadeus: jeremy kyle? [01:37] ive never touched it. [01:37] rhcp[linux]: have a play, see which setting you prefer [01:37] the problem is.

[01:47] I am trying to encrypt ubuntu 10.10..it is already installed...the option was not available through the installer..can i use cryptsetup through the commandline on a live cd?? [01:47] Corey sure [01:47] http://pastebin.com/hGAjpNZi [01:47] thanks. I fixed it myslef [01:47] l8r [01:47] d1zzY_ i think encryptfs is the route you're looking for. not entirely sure. [01:48] ahh i found a hak5 forum post w/ ubuntu 10.04 [01:48] thank you though [01:48] ill look into it [01:49] d1zzY_: connect to irc.foonetic.net and join #Blackbuntu for suppoer [01:49] *support [01:49] Corey: ip is 66.228.57.208 [01:49] linode box [01:49] ActionParsnip, i was there, the room was empty..i tried BlackBuntu and blackbuntu...2nd b is little? [01:50] d1zzY_: IRC isn't case sensetive [01:50] d1zzY_: we only support canonical official releases here, nothing else [01:50] i changed it to just 10.10 [01:50] Corey: here is the ufw status as well: http://pastebin.com/YwamxaYm [01:50] ActionParsnip: Hm, I wonder, has Lubuntu been granted that privelege of "officialness" now? [01:50] what is Plymouth in Ubuntu??????? [01:50] bkfitz: You're only binding to localhost. [01:50] Pcd2: Bootsplash thing [01:51] theadmin: its official as of Oneiric afaik [01:51] makes sense. bootsplash does nothing. [01:51] Corey: :| what does that mean [01:51] Pcd2: its the gui spash thing at startup and a few underlying things [01:51] ok. explains why not connecting to it affects nothing serious. [01:51] bkfitz: Postgres isn't listening to external interfaces. [01:51] how can I set apt to use the "best server" via terminal? I recall an old application called mirrorselect but it's not in the repos [01:52] theadmin: http://www.linux-magazine.com/Online/News/Ubuntu-Makes-Lubuntu-Official-Derivative [01:52] mouche: I think you're messing something up, mirrorselect is an Arch tool... Unless it works with debian repos too, doubt it [01:52] Corey: you mean in my pg_hba [01:52] mouche: How about just use... ISPConfig on ubuntu-server? [01:52] COrey: i think i have allow all [01:52] bkfitz: I mean postgres isn't configured to bind to any external IPs, only localhost. [01:53] Corey: is that something I can set in hba conf [01:53] theadmin: ah ok. [01:53] . [01:53] Ibis: ok, I'll look into that.

[01:54] Corey: i have local all all trust in the pg_hba... but I think that only applies to permissions to connect, not bindings yes [01:54] timnuxlin: Yes?

[01:57] Ibis: hm, I'm looking up to just change the mirror apt downloads packages from. [01:57] guys will ubuntu ever support nvidia properly it seems like they never will [01:57] Corey: so my "listen_addresses" was commented out... default must be localhost or local subnet or something [01:57] yes can someone help me i would like to know what packages ubuntu 10.04 has that allows it to have iphone and ipod support [01:57] mouchebag: Nvidia cards work fine unless you have a really exotic setup [01:57] hoverbear I wish [01:57] mouche: nvidia support is far better then ATI too [01:57] mouchebag: Do you have a specific problem you'd like help with? [01:58] hoverbear they dont even come close to working fine with it [01:58] !details | mouchebag [01:58] mouchebag: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [01:58] mouchebag: I get higher FPS in linux on ET:QW then I do on windows. :-P [01:58] d1zzY_: Bad idea, home needs to be mounted at startup... [01:58] Jordan_U yea i do [01:58] yes can someone help me i would like to know what packages ubuntu 10.04 has that allows it to have iphone and ipod support [01:58] d1zzY_: And with TC you can't really do that [01:58] tbruff13: Apple changes their protocols more then we change socks. Which device/gen? [01:58] tbruff13: I think Rhythmbox does that for some devices [01:58] Jordan_U no matter what linux distro I try ubuntu included the video card doesn't get detected properly and my computer goes into a black screen after I log into my user account [01:59] None? [01:59] jordan_U it's really silly I don't get why , it makes me not able to use linux for what i want to , which is primarily visual reasons such as films shows etc [01:59] mouche: Try selecting "Classic" in the Session menu at the login screen [01:59] !mintsupport | danko8321 [01:59] danko8321: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [01:59] mouchebag: Is this before or after installing the proprietary drivers from the "Additional Drivers" tool? [01:59] mouchebag: I like how you're not telling us which card you have. :-P [01:59] Corey: thx again. learn something everyday. Now in netstat I see :::* :) [01:59] Jordan_U: after [01:59] Corey: and the port is open from the outside [01:59] mouche: Well, then don't use propertiary drivers -__- [02:00] mouchebag: * [02:00] hoverbear: You try and tell me that then. nvidia at this time of writing doesn't work properly in Ubuntu 11.04 when using Unity. In fact, I do not think I can do any 3D. [02:00] mouchebag: Can you login to a failsafe session after installing the drivers? [02:00] HI, folks. Is there anyone who use autossh together with upstart? [02:00] mouche: Sorry, mistab [02:00] hoverbear: does it matter? nobody else can fix it but I'll tell you it's 9700m gt [02:00] (well, not tell me, but spoonfeed me until nvidia works properly :D) [02:00] Jordan_U: yea i can [02:00] Ibis: My desktop with an old 8800 runs ETWQ on linux at high at 60 fps, windows hits 47. [02:00] mouchebag: Is that an optimus card? [02:00] hoverbear: ipod touch 4 [02:01] hoverbear: no nvidia GeForce [02:01] Can anyone help get my sound back on in Lucid? Be my hero! [02:01] tbruff13: Try a vm with a windows install :-P [02:01] mouchebag: OK. Please do that and pastebin the output of "glxinfo" ? (installing glxinfo if it's not already installed).

[02:01] hoverbear: Still doesn't tell me that I can use nvidia Geforce 5xxx with Ubuntu Unity.. [02:01] Jordan_U: well i'm on a fresh install at the moment where I didn't install the proprietary driver yet because i knew it would crash [02:01] mouchebag: Yes but is it your only gpu in the laptop? Or is it a new one with optimus technology and/or gpu switching? [02:01] hoverbear: why can ubuntu 10.04 work but not the newest ubuntu [02:01] Jordan_U: so i don't know should I download the proprietary and then do that ? [02:01] Ibis: Unity is garbage? :-P [02:02] hoverbear : I don't know , it's from 2008 if that helps clarify [02:02] tbruff13: If the old ubuntu works the new one should too :-P [02:02] mouchebag: Yes. (using the official Ubuntu "Additional Drivers" tool). [02:02] hoverbear: Unity is the best thing since sliced bread! :U Are you mad!?!?!? [02:02] Ibis: Best thing since moldy sliced bread maybe :-P [02:02] Ibis: Probably half of us are mad then [02:02] hoverbear: on nvidia .com it talks about having somethign to dow with switching between modes for different picture quality [02:02] Ibis: Most of people consider Unity a piece of trash, same for Gnome3 actually [02:02] hoverbear: it doesn't i am running mint now but i tried ubuntu 10.10 and 11 [02:03] Unity is very bad because it is a graphics hog [02:03] theadmin: Yea, but most didn't seem to evolved to such a new way. [02:03] Is it possible that having 2 monitors in twinview that have different refresh rates (59hz vs 60hz) is causing my video tearing? [02:03] Jordan_U: so what do you think [02:03] mouchebag: It seems to work better than Ubuntu Classic, since it doesn't have metacity to bloat up the use of memory. [02:03] mouchebag: Right, so you have an optimus GPU, which nvidia has explicitly stated they will not support on linux. Please send them a complaint. [02:04] mouchebag: I think I need more information. [02:04] hoverbear: oh did they really say that, i'll check for sure if it's optimus as you say [02:04] hoverbear: thing is they provide the driver for the card on tehir official website, for Linux [02:04] really? === matthew is now known as Guest74721 [02:04] hoverbear: so I dont know if you're right [02:04] mouchebag: Yeah make sure it's optimus. [02:04] On my next computer, I'm not buying from anyone that will not support Linux. Period. [02:05] mouchebag: BTW, I have an optmius card, I just use my intel chipset to do graphics and use the nvidia card in windows [02:05] Ibis: Heh, good luck with that. Just in case you want to know, my Samsung R525 works perfectly :P And it has an AMD graphics card so that's weird [02:05] hoverbear: wait how do you do that [02:05] mouchebag: I turn it off in bios [02:05] hoverbear: I need to be able to use this OS for watching high quality vids [02:06] hoverbear: how do you do that though ? i forget whats bios again [02:06] theadmin: Well, I mean in terms of hardware not working on Linux. [02:06] mouchebag: The newest intel chips (I dunno if it's what you have) push 1080p no sweat [02:06] But I'm sure some companies out there don't mind giving us freebies. [02:07] hoverbear: I can output 1080p through HDMI when I use windows with this [02:07] hoverbear: it's just linux having the problems [02:07] mouchebag: different OS, different supoprt [02:07] hoverbear: my comp has an intel sticker so are you saying it has 2 cards inside of it ? wow [02:07] mouchebag: oh jeez, is it one of those hybrid gpu things [02:07] ? [02:07] mouchebag: No I'm not sure if that's optimus or not [02:07] hoverbear: not card but chipset [02:08] hoverbear: no nevermind what I just said I was confusing myself [02:08] ActionParsnip: i have one of those, they suck imo [02:08] hoverbear: I dont have hybrid GPU lol [02:08] ActionParsnip: I dont lol [02:08] hoverbear: never heard a success story with them [02:08] hoverbear: no what i have is probably the same as you, mine is a nvidia card for sure [02:08] hoverbear: and ith as an intel sticker I guess thats the chipset you're talking about [02:08] mouchebag: is it a laptop or a desktop? [02:08] hoverbear: how do I make my linux use it ? [02:08] ActionParsnip: It's a desktopreplacement laptop [02:08] theadmin: Why do you not like Unity by the way? I like it for a few reasons. The most being it's revolutionary change of removing the traditional task bar, and sticks it on the left side of the screen to only appear when I need it. And then making top menu bar reserved strictly for Notifications, and menus from any program I run. [02:09] ActionParsnip: I've got it working in linux actually, just terrible performance [02:09] hoverbear: how do I make the linux OS use the intel chipset , like you're doing ? [02:09] Ibis: Gnome3 is better :-p [02:09] mouchebag: what make and model? [02:09] mouchebag: BIOS might work [02:09] Ibis: I did the same thing with my XFCE. Still works faster and better. [02:09] hoverbear: how do I do that I dont know what BIOS is is that the first screen you see when the computer turns on ,like without any OS [02:09] hoverbear: I'm waiting for 11.10 when that gnome 3 shall be available. [02:09] Ibis: Gnome3 is better :-p [02:09] ActionParsnip: Toshiba qosmio x300 [02:09] Have you ever tried using more than 1 monitor with gnome 3, hoverbear ? [02:10] mouchebag: I can't tell you because I don't know. :-p [02:10] theadmin: But it may not contain the same tools though. [02:10] Krenair: Nope but I imagine it's better then unity :-P [02:10] hoverbear: Oh if you don't know how did you do it yourself then ?? [02:10] mouchebag: Different machine [02:10] hoverbear: but can you tell me how you did it for your own and I can see if mine compares to being similar [02:10] WINE can run mac itunes? [02:10] celltech: no only windows apps [02:11] celltech: Ask in #winehq [02:11] What can run mac apps? [02:11] mouchebag: Sure press thinkvantage within .5 seconds in boot then just go to devices and display [02:11] celltech: A mac? A vm? [02:11] celltech: Only OSX. [02:11] I'm trying to get a version of iTunes that works [02:11] celltech: Apple is notoriously garbage with support for anything else [02:11] celltech: Use windows itunes if you must [02:11] I can't get wine to use it [02:11] Then use something else [02:11] Or a VM [02:12] Is it possible that having 2 monitors in twinview that have different refresh rates (59hz vs 60hz) is causing my video tearing? [02:12] I would but I have a VM issue with the drivers for my usb [02:12] roasted_: Very likely [02:12] when the phone restarts, it kicks out the drivers till I manually reconnect it [02:12] that I can't have [02:12] celltech: banshee and rhythmbox can put data on the device [02:13] celltech: there is also ifuse which you may be able to mount the device with. [02:13] Don't need data.. banshee is AMAZING btw. I need to downgrade myphone and jail break this thing [02:13] ActionParsnip: Is it illegal to sell Ubuntu install CDs? Because this store near where I live sells them for $50 each [02:13] celltech: you could make the device decent and put rockbox on it, then it will be vastly easier but apple garbage only plays nice with windows or other apple garbage [02:13] celltech: Should have just got an android :-P [02:13] mouchebag: Nope it's legal [02:13] never [02:14] I hate android [02:14] Hello [02:14] mouchebag: you can sell them at the cost of CD + time, you cannot charge for the product itself [02:14] celltech: More then you hate being silently tracked and having a middleman to your apps? [02:14] hoverbear: how is it legal ? hes making profit on disks he made for 5 cents probably [02:14] celltech: there are more than 2 mobile device OSes [02:14] Yep. I love my iphone [02:14] k [02:14] hello [02:14] ActionParsnip: he is charging for the product, he just makes the CDs in the backroom of the store after buying like a $20 stack of disks [02:14] celltech: if you use virtualbox closed source version you will get native usb access [02:14] ActionParsnip: theyre even unlabeled [02:15] Does anyone know what these errors are (not the ata stuff) http://i.imgur.com/a23dX.jpg [02:15] mouchebag: thats fine, then you have electricity for burning which is fine [02:15] ActionParsnip: what do you mean lol [02:15] mouchebag: I'd give them away, considering the price [02:16] ActionParsnip: he sells them for $50 each disk [02:16] mouchebag: well its your electricity you are using, so you can charge for that [02:16] ActionParsnip: alongside windows he sells [02:16] ActionParsnip: Iol wow that's weird [02:16] mouchebag: its not his to sell [02:16] ActionParsnip: i know that's why I was thinking it would be illegal [02:16] hoverbear, why do you say that? [02:16] mouchebag: it is illegal [02:16] The point is a legal technicality. I could sell them for $100,000 a disk. The point is that I'm not selling a license for use, I'm just selling the disk they're on. [02:16] ActionParsnip: You are wrong about not being able to charge for the product itself. Such a prohibition against chargning money, even for a profit, would go against most definitions of Free Software. [02:16] roasted_: Why do I say what? [02:18] Jordan_U: but surely its not his to sell [02:18] Jordan_U, mouchebag, ActionParsnip: Can we take this to #ubuntu-offtopic please? Thanks. [02:19] Flannel: He also sells flannel shirts [02:19] Hello! How can I install lightdm in my language? I have only english here [02:20] hoverbear, I was just curious if you had any technical reasoning behind it because it seems like that's my issue but I'm trying to understand it more. [02:20] roasted_: Behind what? :-P [02:20] hoverbear, behind separate monitors having different refresh rates causing video tearing. [02:21] roasted_: Well it'd only assumingly happen when transfering across monitors but it shouldn't be noticable [02:21] hoverbear, well, it is [02:22] hoverbear, I've dealt with video tearing for the last... 7 years? and each time I've had different computers and each time I've had video tearing. however I've ALWAYS used the same monitors. [02:22] hoverbear, and the vsync settings and all of that has done NOTHING for me. nothing. [02:22] Huh [02:22] hoverbear, but someone asked me what refresh rates my monitors are. one is 60, one is 59. and he said that's EXACTLY what his issue was because he faced the same thing I did. [02:22] hallo [02:23] hoverbear, he said that video cards see twinview'd linux monitors as 1, so both of my monitors are seen as one, and as a result different refresh rates can cause weirdness [02:23] Can you change the rates? [02:23] I don't believe so [02:23] he said it's dictated by the monitor hardware [02:23] however on newegg I found a monitor that said the refresh rate was 49-75, which made me think it was variable [02:23] Yeah it should be [02:23] java issues are occuring [02:24] why does codeblocks let you add a class and then say it cannot find the header * sigh * :( [02:24] java just doesn't work. I have been trying to fix this for a couple days [02:25] * simpleblue throws codeblocks in the garbage [02:25] going to try qt creator [02:26] geany has the same problem [02:27] simpleblue: Well I'm glad I don't code C then xD [02:27] lol :p [02:27] sorry for ranting. just a little frustrated [02:29] wtf facebook... Showing notifications for events that never happened... >.< [02:29] Um, sorry.

[03:04] I'm re-createing the live USB ill try again [03:05] hi folks [03:05] Hi, my system seems to be running on both gpu (intel and ati) and thus it is heating up and battery drying up pretty soon. [03:05] noahgrub: If you have any further issues ping me by using my nick in your message as I won't be following the channel. [03:05] What's the best place to ask for help with a broken package? [03:05] I'm having problems changing the network setting from eth0 to wlan0 in Ubuntu Server using VirtualBox. I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 and using wlan0 as the network setting to connect to my router. [03:05] OK [03:06] I just wonder, in my ubuntu server, inetd is not installed by default, so what does the system use to handle network request? [03:07] Ubuntu Server was able to connect to my router when I was running VB on Windows 7, but not in Ubuntu. [03:07] xiexie: Inetd is only required if you want to start services on demand. If you start Apache at boot then it will bind to port 80 itself. [03:07] Whom can I raise my queries? [03:08] Jordan_U, I see, thanks [03:08] Who would be able to help with problems installing packages in Ubuntu? [03:08] xiexie: You're welcome. [03:09] eruch_: Just ask your actual question. [03:09] eruch_: ask away :) [03:10] I'm trying to get compiz and synaptic to start working again, but an attempted upgrade broke both of them. === alpha is now known as Guest37662 [03:10] When I launch Compiz, I get the error: compiz: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [03:10] My system running multiple gpu's. So it is heating up and battery is drying up soon as well. How can I get on gpu switch off? [03:10] how do I make a script run automatically when I log in given that I am not an admin and cant change anything outside my home folder? [03:10] eruch_: can you give the output of: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get --reinstall install compiz use http://pastie.org to host the output [03:11] Guest37662: use the startup items program, you can set programs that run at login [03:11] Guest79607: users can run scripts just fine [03:12] ActionParsnip: The output of sudo apt-get update: http://www.pastebin.cc/index.php?show=6364 [03:12] ActionParsnip, how do I do this (I only have access to console) [03:12] Guest37662: its a terminal command [03:13] Is it possible that having 2 monitors in twinview that have different refresh rates (59hz vs 60hz) is causing my video tearing? [03:14] anyone know why ubuntu loads things so slow [03:14] naibu: make sure you have the video drivers installed properly and if you have a 64 bit try to use the amd64 version of the adobe flash beta driver [03:14] ActionParsnip: Oops, wrong pastebin tool. Sorry [03:14] it takes a few seconds to start firefox. on windows it loads instant [03:15] in general i find windows much slower but you may have a different set up in firefox windows making it less bogged down with addons [03:15] ActionParsnip: http://pastie.org/2629993 And of sudo apt-get --reinstall -install compiz: http://pastie.org/2629994 [03:15] eruch_: is there a package manager open, like synaptic? [03:16] nah windows is much faster for me. the ubuntu UI seems really slow and it doesn't even look good [03:16] eruch_: or software centre [03:16] Guest37662: no gui? [03:16] ActionParsnip: Synaptic was open when the sudo apt-get update paste was made but then closed before the other [03:16] My ubuntu 11.4 system won't conntect the network card to the router either manual settings or dhcp. [03:16] eruch_: close it and rerun: sudo apt-get update is it smooth now? (no error at the bottom) [03:16] ActionParsnip: I think I got rid of the Software Center a long time ago… [03:16] It used to, but it won't after I needed to reboot it. [03:17] ActionParsnip: Yes. [03:17] I've looked in tons of docs, and the diagnostics I've found seem to suggest that card is up. [03:17] How do I get into another chat room? [03:17] Deihmos: windows is 100 times slower than ubuntu and ubuntu looks at least 1000 times better. [03:17] ok [03:17] ;mao [03:17] in fstab, what settings would be good for a home directory? defaults 0 0? [03:17] eruch_: ok then rerun: sudo apt-get --reinstall install compiz what is output? [03:18] ActionParsnip: http://pastie.org/2630004 [03:18] I have other Ubuntu boxes (and non-U) on network working fine. Problem is recent--box has been working for months. [03:18] roasted_: this is mine: UUID=43beb8fe-c819-4ec4-9909-c0cc658d7a9b /home ext4 defaults,noatime 0 2 [03:18] thanks bro [03:18] Deihmos: setting ubuntu up right is very important but unlike windows most if not all of the drivers simply work out of the box and there is massive support for ubuntu on the web. [03:18] Deihmos: the windows firefox is/was faster at loading.. Linux was lagging but i think they may have addressed this in FF7 [03:18] Is it possible that having 2 monitors in twinview that have different refresh rates (59hz vs 60hz) is causing my video tearing? [03:19] ActionParsnip: The last time I had a similar problem to this (with a similar cause), my system ended up dead for about a month and a half before I bit the bullet and reinstalled. [03:19] didn [03:19] In logs, DCHP timeout. Continual log about eth0: link up--many times a minute [03:19] ActionParsnip: …just to be discouraging :-D [03:19] didn't ubuntu have the ability to print to a pdf by default? [03:19] eruch_: try: fuser -v /var/cache/debconf/config.dat [03:19] eruch_: what is output? [03:19] ActionParsnip: http://pastie.org/2630013 [03:20] Barridus: you can install a pdf printer, abiword can export to pdf nicely [03:20] Any dchp troubleshooting manuals? I haven't found them yet. Any help appreciated...thanks! [03:20] roasted_: no that won't cause it but your control panel for the driver may have an anti-tearing setting [03:20] Tigerboy - yeah, it definitely doesn't. However I've read from some people this could be why I have tearing. [03:20] barridus: just add cups pdf in your synaptic package manager [03:20] eruch_: ok, run: sudo kill -9 5873; sudo apt-get -f install; sudo apt-get --reinstall install compiz [03:20] Tigerboy - afte rall, using 1 monitor does NOT show tearing. yet using two monitors does. someone told me twinview sees 2 monitors as 1, so having moniotrs with separate refresh rates could cause it, which, makes sense to me... [03:21] wendell_dhcp: what is your issue? [03:21] ActionParsnip, i need to print more than just word documents [03:21] roasted: no it will use more resources to have two monitors on which may increase tearing as a biproduct [03:21] i think Tigerboy's sounds more universal [03:21] Barridus: http://www.arsgeek.com/2007/05/17/5-steps-to-create-a-pdf-printer-print-to-pdf-in-ubuntu/ [03:22] My system running multiple gpu's. So it is heating up and battery is drying up soon as well. How can I get on gpu switch off? [03:22] ActionParsnip: It is asking: http://pastie.org/2630024 [03:22] Sidvee: optimus laptop? [03:22] ActionParsnip: Should I take the default values? [03:22] Barridus: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/04/print-pdf-printer-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal/ [03:22] ActionParsnip, Tigerboy, thanks i'll try cups-pdf [03:23] barridus: good it's pretty easy to use [03:23] bye for now all [03:23] ActionParsnip, i tried print to file and only had postscript as a choice [03:23] eruch_: press tab then press enter [03:23] Sidvee: if soo look into acpi_call [03:24] ActionParsnip: Done. http://pastie.org/2630030 [03:25] ActionParsnip: You've fixed it! Cool, thanks! [03:25] eruch_: np, the packages got locked by hung processes [03:25] ActionParsnip: I'll have to remember how to do that. [03:25] ActionParsnip: networking won't come up. my box won't connect. diagnostics say card is OK. Router hasn't changed [03:25] eruch_: I suggest a reboot too [03:27] wendell_dhcp: has the interface worked in ubuntu before? [03:27] SIFTU: It has got a onboard Intel and an ati one. Both seems to be ON. [03:27] ActionParsnip: yes. Worked for months until about 2 days ago. [03:28] actionparsnip, were you the one helping me with video tearing earlier? [03:28] wendell_dhcp: I suggest you reboot, then get logged in and run: dmesg | less and read through, some of it will relate to the network and you can diagnose [03:28] nautilus is broken [03:28] roasted_: maybe, not sure [03:28] ActionParsnip: rebooting (again....) :-) [03:28] fowl: care to expand on that? [03:29] actionparsnip - I was just curious if you were, because I'm looking for some opinions of users to see if having two monitors that have different refresh rates could be causing my video tearing. [03:29] actionparsnip - any insight on it? [03:29] irc.byroe.net #explorecrew [03:29] ActionParsnip: it won't open things like torrents from outside nautilus (ie chrome) [03:29] and not just torrents, zips, pdfs whatever [03:29] thunar however does just fine with it. whats the deal [03:32] I got an error upgrading to kernel 3 ....what to do? http://paste.ubuntu.com/701405/ [03:33] unetbootin versus startup disk creator, thoughts? === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [03:33] excelsior, unetbootin [03:34] fowl: if you right click a file and select open with... you can then set the app to open the file with.

[03:35] excelsior: it has usb-creator [03:35] it does not wany to boot [03:35] excelsior: you can install unetbootin if you desire [03:35] henningvis: teh 3.0 kernel is not supported here [03:36] henningvis: you are using a 3rd party kernel we cannot support. Try asking in #linux [03:36] SIFTU, it has got a onboard Intel and an ATI graphics card [03:36] ok [03:36] guys a disaster happened to me... i deleted a recovered file... in libreoffice [03:36] i will say i have not used startup disk creator in a couple releases but every time i did use it in the past i had some sort of disaster. i've used unetbootin for many years hundreds of times for ubuntu and never once had a problem, so it's earned 100% of my trust [03:36] I was thinking of being able to install some sort of really small linux for ancient comps, but nah. [03:36] is there any SLIGHTEST change the temp file is there somewher? [03:36] Barridus: its what I use too ;) [03:36] 5 hours of work gone... [03:36] any hope? [03:37] why is this a 3rd party kernel? is it not an ubuntu upgrace [03:37] ok, unet it is... [03:37] well if that's not a vote of confidence i dunno what is, ActionParsnip ;) [03:37] excelsior: sure, use ubuntu minimal and install fluxbox and lightdm and you have a slick OS [03:37] whats a good email service?

[03:38] baktrak: so an email client, you mean [03:38] Yes [03:38] baktrak: evolution is defaul, thunderbird will be default in future releases [03:38] default* [03:38] evolution keeps not responding so i will do thunderbir [03:38] baktrak: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/list-of-email-clients-available-in-ubuntu-linux.html [03:38] d [03:38] thank u [03:38] and thank u action [03:40] ActionParsnip: I am confused by the messages. I see "ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eht0: link is not ready", then a bunch of "r8169 0000:04:00.0 eth0: link down" ... [03:40] ActionParsnip: you just recommended to use minimal install. Can this be upgraded to the next release without b0rking the whole thing, or downloading unnecessary new packages? [03:41] ActionParsnip: then a tremendous number of "r8169 0000:04:00.0 eth0: link up" [03:41] somsip: the minimal install just installs a minimal ubuntu OS, it will upgrade to the next release the same as a full install [03:41] ActionParsnip: after one line "ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready" [03:41] wasnt broadcom supposed to get easier? [03:42] like it going opensource and all? [03:42] ChogyDan: doubt it [03:42] ChogyDan: the firmware is proprietary [03:43] meh [03:43] ActionParsnip: This seems to mean the card took longer than expected to come up, but it did, and then it did again (thousands of times). The "link up" message continues to fill kernel and syslog [03:43] ActionParsnip: k - so specifically, I've got a min install 64 bit, minimal additional packages, no gnome, other WM. So when the time comes, I can do-release-upgrade and I won't end up with a load of new cruft I don't want?

[03:44] ActionParsnip, I'm trying to set up a cross-compilation toolchain using crosstool-ng [03:44] somsip: exactly, you will only have a minimal install as you have no metapackages to install desktop stuffs [03:44] I cannot, for the life of me, get eglibc to compile [03:44] http://pastebin.com/5wZAVUvK keep getting this during linking [03:45] ActionParsnip: many thanks - I was looking for an opporunity to ask wthat one without being #ubuntu+1 [03:45] Sazpaimon_: i see, ive not compiled anything outside of gentoo for linux [03:45] How important is it to have two monitors with matching refresh rates when using twinview? I ask this because I've been having video tearing for years that I can't fix yet someone told me it's due to my refresh rates being 59.94 vs 60 for my monitors. Anybody have anything to confirm about this? [03:45] since its a very specific type of error, I dont think anyone will be able to help me here [03:45] somsip: its fairly generic but please keep oneiric stuff in its correct channel [03:45] ActionParsnip: yup - np [03:46] There are lots of bugs for HP TM2 series.

Any suggestions appreciated.

I ask this because I've been having video tearing for years that I can't fix yet someone told me it's due to my refresh rates being 59.94 vs 60 for my monitors. Anybody have anything to confirm about this? [03:50] Is there a VM chat? [03:51] Will I damage windows system files by dualbooting on the same HD? [03:51] ActionParsnip: Do see something strange when the card first loads: (unregistered net_device): unknown MAC using family default. I think this seems OK though. Two lines later it gives the mac address that it had been using. [03:52] noahk11: no, it will be fne as long as you read and think during the install :) [03:53] noahk11: if you use Windows 7 it can resize its own NTFS and you can install ubuntu to the free space [03:53] noahk11: you should have a backup of your data anyway if it is important so this also should not be a worry [03:53] wendell_dhcp: anyone else reporting the same message on any forums etc? [03:53] I have all my important stuff on an external HD [03:54] noahk11: cool :D [03:54] So installing Ubuntu and win-win side by side will not damage windows 7 files? [03:55] *windows 7 not win-win [03:55] ActiionParsnip: I haven't seen anything. Most network issues seem to be lower-level. There was a great guide to network troubleshooting, but didn't have much about this specifically. According to those diagnostics, the card looks like it's OK...reports "UP" status. [03:55] ActiionParsnip: I will do more searching. [03:55] noahk11: yes, as long as you do it the right way ;) [03:56] ActionParsnip* sorry! [03:56] What is the right way? [03:56] Lol [03:56] ActionParsnip: i'll get a screenshot of the error, 1 sec [03:56] where does cups-pdf print to by default? i can't find anything [03:57] noahk11: just follow the official guide, I think, and make sure you know what you are doing ;)) [03:57] Thanks [03:57] ActionParsnip: http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/2418/selection057.png [03:58] it's like that for any kind of file [04:02] noahk11: it can if you don't watch what you are doing === kelly is now known as schwagle [04:02] Actionparsnip, read the official notes I know what to do know [04:02] How come when I maximize my web browser it expands across my 2 monitors instead of just one?

[04:25] yes i need only the 32 bit installed [04:26] ActionParsnip: The best lead I can find so far looks like the messages that I am getting during the actual attempt to authenticate DHCP. NetworkManager[690]: (eth0): device state change: 7 -> 9 (reason 5). Couldn't find the list of these codes and reasons. Any help here? [04:26] the processor is a 48 bit but does also work of course like a 32 bit [04:27] I placed some fonts in ~/.fonts, but xfontsel can't see them. [04:27] Anyone know why that might be? [04:29] I put windows fonts in /usr/share/fonts/truetype Openoffice used to use then, but LibreOffice doesn't. [04:29] Hola a tdos!! [04:30] are there any tools to set different wallpapers for dual monitors? [04:33] ubuntu 10.04 installation is bad it is to automatic if you are using it in windows you can not chose witch wan you want 32 or 64 bit if you have a 48 bit processor ubuntu installs the 64 bit [04:33] I've got a user who installed the audio creation suite via tasksel, now her ubuntu is branded as ubuntu studio. How does she change it back to normal ubuntu branding? [04:33] Now I get Windows fonts by installing ttf-mscorefonts-installer [04:34] please how can i fix it so i only have a 32 bit installation [04:34] ibm: There is no such thing as a 48-bit processor. [04:35] ibm, are you installing from windows=wubi [04:35] ibm, get the 32 bit iso image from Ubuntu.com [04:35] yes wubi [04:36] i have a problem... when i start my computer always seem like kernel panic i'm using ubuntu 10.10 [04:36] ibm, wubi will download the latest release, you might try getting a 11.04 32 bit. [04:36] when i type dmesg seem like this http://tempel.blankon.in/1719 [04:36] i have no idea... anyone can help me? [04:36] wubi is bringing the i386 file but after the reboot it getting to a i686 [04:38] samsul: "[drm:radeon_dvi_detect] *ERROR* DVI-D-1: probed a monitor but no|invalid EDID" that's your problem. Your Xorg config is wrong. Boot into recovery mode and try the "fix Xorg" option. [04:39] hi! world! [04:39] ibm: how do you know it is a 64-bit install? [04:39] ibm, i686 is 32 bit [04:39] i am trying to run this but from www-data from a php web page /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf --lowquality "http://silslid.local" "/tmp/knp_x.pdf" [04:39] but it is not generating the pdf [04:40] ibm: uname -m [04:40] how to troubleshoot? most likely it is giving permission problems, however, when I sudo -u www-data and run the command in CLI it works [04:40] how to troubleshoot this [04:40] are you sure i think it is a 64 bit but the i386 is a 32 bit [04:40] ibm: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/I686 As urlin2u said, i686 is 32-bit. Also, as ActionParsnip said, run uname -m [04:41] ibm, yes, t=run the command ActionParsnip suggested mine is i686, I only have 32 bit. [04:41] The 3 and 6 are generational identifiers, not architectural identifiers. [04:41] but why is my ubuntu getting stuck after a while [04:42] ibm, yes, my processor is a 32 bit Pentium 4 , but uname -m gives me i686. It's OK. i386 is for older 32 bit processors. [04:42] !doesntwork | ibm [04:42] ibm: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [04:42] I remember coming accross a help channel that had a bot linking the same channel over 3 different networks... anyone knows such a channel?

[04:44] when i use programs like firefox and xchat it is working fine but other program get stuck after a while [04:45] still seem like this http://tempel.blankon.in/1719 [04:45] ActionParsnip: From his dump he posted, looks like XOrg is freaking out over an invalid EDID.

[04:46] I think you should look for another ram [04:46] samsul: there is memtest in grub, i suggest you test it. If recovery mode is having an issue then its probably something like that [04:46] ibm: You still aren't giving enough information. You need to reproduce a specific error. "Stuff crashes after awhile" is not specific. "OpenOffice Writer crashes after 5-15 minutes of just being open" is. Regardless, what does dmesg tell you? [04:47] kornBen: ActionParsnip gave a more helpful answer. Why run around replacing RAM instead of testing it? :) [04:48] haha this guy screams like a pig http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFxMM36fboc&feature=channel_video_title [04:49] !ubuntu-offtopic | seidell [04:49] !#ubuntu-offtopic | seidell [04:50] yup thats right [04:50] xrandr tells me I have a resolution of 3520x1080 and I've been googling everywhere to figure out how to fix this but I can't find anything ,any advice?

You will get very little support here, nobody uses it for long. [05:09] Also, does anybody know why Google was replaced with Ask.com in the latest Firefox update? [05:09] Ibm, yes, the Ubuntu files are stored in your windows ntfs partition. If you observe, you won't be able to mount your windows c: partition on a wubi installation. For Ubuntu, that file on your ntfs partition is the ext4 partition. [05:10] ibm, it's like a virtual hard disk.

[05:28] ibm: also, please only post once. [05:29] kareem_: what steps did you follow to use it on Debian? [05:30] yes other programs to but the only one who is working fine is firefox and xchat almost all others program does not [05:30] nothing i just plugged it in and the a menu entry appeared in the network menu in the system tray and i followed the steps it was smooth and easy [05:30] cesarx === Timic_ is now known as Timic [05:31] aqui é variado [05:31] tem tm gringo?

[05:33] my problem is with ubuntu not debian it works on debian but not on ubuntu [05:33] ibm: that's very unusual. My first guess would be that there's actually a hardware problem with your computer - defective memory, most likely. [05:34] i wish it supported by the kernel so it will be plug and play [05:34] it is not me alone many users faced this problem [05:34] kareem_: if it works on Debian and there's a driver package available for Debian then chances are good that you can install said driver on Ubuntu and have it work without additional effort.

The iphone page is probably your best starting point. I have never done it. [05:47] I just need to transfer some files from computer to iphone, one time deal. not super complex like syncing or anything. [05:47] oh devan: ssh perhaps then? [05:48] m [05:48] no not yet and i do not hop it will [05:48] gir75twg, wouldn't that take some jailbreaking and so on? I've got a pretty virgin iphone, I don't want to get really involved with it.

[05:50] deeptracks, correct usb cord? My iphone is charging using it, and I don't have some complex usb hub setup or something... it's definitely plugged in. [05:50] Do you dual boot windows or anything else? [05:50] k just makin sure [05:50] gir75twg, it's a borrows laptop for temporary use. :\ [05:50] Ah :/ [05:50] gir75twg, I wish, I'd definitely just go that route. [05:51] devan, I've never had this issue before. Both my iPhone, and iPad are recognized [05:51] just fine. :/ [05:52] gir75twg, lame. Sad story. Yeah, I remember always seeing it show up as a digital camera or something? I've never seen it just fail to be recognized either. Odd... [05:52] Yeah. Perhaps. [05:52] Does it show up, like even as an unknown device? [05:52] no how can i do that [05:52] Or is it not showing at all? [05:52] gir75twg, nothing shows up, just the dmesg stuff I mentioned above... And reading the support page, this makes no sense. "ucid natively supports both iPhone and iPod Touch 1G, 2G, 3G, 3GS and 4G models (iPad should also work) running up to firmware 4.0.1 without the need to jailbreak." [05:53] I'm running a iOS3.2 or something, and Ubuntu 10.4 (10.10 broke support, but 10.04 is said to work out of the box...) [05:53] What firmware are you running? [05:53] Ah. [05:53] I dont have an Iphone but is there an unmount option on the card settings like on android? because my android wont be recognized if i dont set it to unmount card [05:54] devan have you tried libiphone + idevicepair unpair && idevicepair pair? [05:54] no how can i do that [05:54] ibm: use the 'log file viewer' [05:54] Try putting it in DFU. Then if it pairs/recognizes, use TinyUmbrella to get it out. [05:55] gir75twg it won't auto-pair :p [05:55] It may if in DFU :P [05:56] cant you get access to my computer please i do not now how [05:56] hey you guys, in the terminal, how do you type a file that has spaces in its name? [05:56] vsync, gir75twg, just realized you have to type the password... now when I plug it in I get "unable to mount [iphonename]" "unhandled lockdown error (-5)" [05:56] as in, do you need underscores? [05:56] ibm: better yet, you access your computer [05:56] like, i wants to go to the folder math homework [05:56] blsh0p, you mean \? [05:56] blsh0p: but it in quotes or use \ before each space [05:56] do i type in, cd math homework, or cd math_homework [05:57] so i do it in quotes then? [05:57] yes [05:57] oh ok [05:57] blsh0p: cd "math homework" or cd math\ homework [05:57] or math\ homework [05:57] that makes sense, thanks, a ton [05:57] or cd math\ homework [05:57] happy computer [05:57] devan, yep, now just unpair+pair it [05:57] happy computing* [05:57] and you'll be golden [05:57] ive been completely stopped from using the terminal because of that stupid mistake, lol [05:57] thanks guys, a ton [05:58] ok how can i do it can you tell me step for step please [05:58] just use TAB to complete file and folder names and you'll have an easier time [05:58] handles the spaces for you [05:59] * edbian agrees I never use tabs [05:59] i mean, I never type spaces [05:59] vsync, how do I do that?

Add this ppa: https://launchpad.net/~pmcenery/+archive/ppa and install libmobiledevice [06:03] vsync, it's odd, I thought the support was out of the box. :] [06:03] that was the correct package [06:03] devan not for itouch/pad/phone [06:04] vsync, so it is right for my iphone 3g, or not? [06:04] devan yes [06:04] you sed to me look what the problem is but i do not now how [06:04] works with ios4+ too, tested myself [06:05] ibm: you said 'openoffice' broke?

[06:41] Polah_ yes if they are mounted with w [06:41] or, "not-ro" === Polah_ is now known as Polah [06:41] Polah_: yes, it would try anyway [06:41] not-ro? You mean rw?

[06:45] ibm: every package? reinstall using the liveCD [06:45] Singham: That post relates to the system baing unable to suspend - due to USB2 drivers. This is not my case... suspend works fine, but RESUME from hibernation does not. (Well, hibernation does not work... dunno if it writes the data to RAM( [06:45] vsync: Uttering commands like that in #ubuntu is a good way to get banned from #ubuntu. I do not recommend it.

How can I check ubuntu actually writes the data to RAM ? [06:47] can i dd an iso to a partition ??

[07:08] devan: Did you have a Ubuntu related question? :-) [07:09] Corey, considering I'm in Ubuntu, I think that counts? [07:09] Devan: probably because iphone sucks and is so entwined with itunes that it kicks and screams if you try and use it in anything else [07:10] ActionParsnip, I'm well aware, it was a free phone, certainly not my choice... just trying to simply copy some files to some old free hardware because it's what I have... [07:10] hello [07:10] somebody here? [07:10] I need help [07:10] hi [07:10] !ask | sebastian [07:10] sebastian: 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. :-) [07:10] ActionParsnip, ubuntu claimed out of the box support for this model anyways, so they asked for it... [07:10] how do i run webGL on chrome? [07:11] biami, should work out the box [07:12] biami, type about:gpuinternals [07:12] itll tell you if its enabled or not [07:12] how do i run webGL on chrome? i have an Intel HD Graphics (that comes inbuilt)... even libosmesa doesnt seem to work... it works in Firefox [07:12] Devan: could try connecting it to itunes to calm it down then use the safely remove hardware feature in the OS so that it is unmounted cleanly. Then try it in ubuntu [07:12] gpuinternals: command not found [07:12] biami, about:gpu-internals [07:12] sorry [07:12] biami: http://www.m0interactive.com/archives/2009/10/26/how_to_enable_webgl_on_google_chrome/ <-- that help? [07:13] If I had itunes, I wouldn't even try the madness of getting it to work in ubuntu. I don't have any other OS right now. [07:13] Devan: is ubuntu installed in a virtual system or is it a true install? [07:13] OK, I CANT MAKE AN .EXE FILE EXECUTABLE, I MAKE IT RIGHT CLICK, PROPERTIES, PERMISSIONS, BUT IT DOESNT APPEAR THE BOX TO CHECK IT [07:13] !caps | sebastian [07:13] sebastian: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [07:13] .exe file :) [07:13] sebastian: Also realize you'll need an emulation layer to execute windows binaries, such as WINE or virtualbox. [07:13] yes yes [07:13] I have wine [07:14] !winehq | sebastian [07:14] sebastian: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [07:14] I have it [07:14] but to run an .exe file I need to make it executable [07:14] sebastian: you don't own the folder? [07:14] sebastian: Might be better to get support for it there. :-) [07:14] sebastian: what filesystem is the file stored on. Don't post in caps next time too. Its usually makes people NOT want to help [07:15] I think I own the folder [07:15] biami, i meant type that in the chrom address bar not terminal btw [07:15] sebastian: you better re-check [07:15] I recently upgraded to xubuntu, In ubuntu 10.04 I was able to make it but now in xubuntu the option doesnt appear [07:15] ok... then... wait [07:16] Sebastian: what filesystem is the file stored in? [07:16] sebastian: that's an option in nautilus? [07:16] Yes, becaouse to run an exe file you need to mark a permission, and it doesnt appear to me anymore [07:17] the file is the ares galaxy instaleer [07:17] installer [07:17] sebastian, where is the file, in /home? [07:17] Sebastian: will you kindly answer my question [07:17] if not do sudo chmod +x [07:17] Actionparsnip I think I quite dont understand your question, english is not my native language [07:18] gentoo64 the file is in my downloads folder [07:18] Sebastian: ok ill make it simple. Do you dual boot (have windows installed as well as ubuntu) [07:18] sebastian: specific file location of the .exe file is where?

[07:35] profiles are NOT broken in firefox version 7.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.10.04.1~mfs1 [07:35] Atharva, theres a few browsers like links, lynx, w3m [07:36] Girly-Girl: Well, they don't work :P Has the functionality changed? [07:36] Atharva, w3m is good for general browsing [07:36] Gentoo64 onother ideas [07:36] ? [07:36] reinstall [07:36] idk much about initram [07:36] :( [07:36] <__Alex_> Atharava: I use Lynx [07:36] chalcedony: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer flashplugin-nonfred; sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install flashplugin64-installer [07:36] KrayonWork: was working for me but I'm not sure if I have same build can't check now I'm on Xp [07:36] ActionParsnip, ty === udinnet_ is now known as udinnet [07:37] Arrnas: try unloading then reloading the module driving it [07:37] KrayonWork, tr deleting profile? [07:38] Gentoo64: I tried that, still no luck. [07:38] Wondered what the correct channel is for a 10.04LTS with a backported 2.6.38 kernel? [07:38] Taraduffy: extract the files and you will see an install script. Run it with sudo [07:38] !info linux-image lucid [07:38] KrayonWork, i had an ff update yesterday for 7.0.1 (not uubntu though) that fixed a load of bugs, its probably related to that [07:38] linux-image (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image.. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.32.34.40 (lucid), package size 4 kB, installed size 32 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia all armel) [07:38] ActionParsnip, Download done. [07:38] Flash Plugin installed. [07:38] llhull@llhull:~$ [07:39] yacc: I guess your in the right place, but backports.....of the kernel, you may have issues [07:39] chalcedony: close all browsers and rerun to load the plugin. Is it better? [07:39] yacc: is it from the backports repo, or an external/PPA ? [07:40] E: Unable to locate package flashplugin-nonfred [07:40] chalcedony, typo? [07:40] chalcedony: flashplugin-nonfree [07:40] ActionParsnip, still ok to close? [07:40] ah [07:40] ok ill try that one [07:40] ActionParsnip: thanks! I can see an install.sh flie, can you baby me through the install, I am not sure how to do it. [07:40] Gentoo64: Just updated, still no good. [07:40] chalcedony: did you copy and paste the command as one? [07:40] KrayonWork, they may not have been fixed yet on ubuntu [07:40] ActionParsnip, yes [07:41] my shortcuts don't work no more :( === mohammad is now known as Guest16112 [07:41] it didn't find fred though [07:41] i tested the live builf of ff yesterday cant believe its at 10 lol [07:41] my shortcuts don't work no more :( [07:41] yacc: I don't see the 2.6.38 kernel in the lucid backports repo [07:41] How to use mplayer ? [07:41] Atharva, just type mplayer then the path to the file [07:41] chalcedony: sudo apt-get install flashplugin64-installer [07:42] ikonia, lucid-proposed, and the first glaring problem is that nouveau did not come up, hence with a generic fbdev X I've got only one display mirrored on two panels, ... [07:42] after a restart i saw them don't work!! [07:42] Atharva, is it pure cli? im not sure about how to get it to run in console framebuffer never tried it [07:42] ActionParsnip, flashplugin64-installer is already the newest version. [07:42] e.g inside qt ctrl + s do not save the file [07:42] yacc: I wouldn't be using things out of proposed [07:42] ikonia, the drm module seems to have loaded fine, and with proposed enabled, there are no updates for packages containing nouveau in it's name. [07:43] running -proposed is not a good idea, at all, unless you like breakage. it's also not supported here. [07:43] taraduffy: use terminal. Use: cd to go into a folder. When you are in the folder with the script, run: sudo scriptname [07:43] ikonia, okay, my ext4 fs with external SSD journal crashes the box at some random point, usually less than 12 hours from boot with the regular kernels. [07:43] Gentoo64: I guess that could be the issue. How long do Ubuntu usually take to do new builds? I can't believe it's like this again. I've seen this issue at least once before, back in v2 days IIRC :/ [07:43] ikonia, googling around the problem "ext4 with fast discs" seems to be fixed by later kernels, ... [07:44] ikonia, but without a working X, it's somehow a non-starter. [07:44] KrayonWork, afaik ubuntu patches them for security / stability not sure how often [07:44] chalcedony: ok, now if you rerun the first command i gave you, do you only have flashplugin64-installer [07:44] yacc: as you're using an LTS release, I'd log a bug and push it through, and if it IS a kernel bug the fix may get back ported as an update, rather than a whole kernel update from proposed [07:44] Gentoo64: This isn't my machine, is this version an official Ubuntu thing or a third party, do you know? [07:44] ActionParsnip, i'll take a look [07:45] KrayonWork, if its not from a ppa and from standard repos then you should get official updates [07:45] Gentoo64: TBH I don't really know, I'm an Arch user trying to get around this Ubuntu thing :P [07:45] ActionParsnip: its on my desktop, in a folder called "Driver", what is the CD command? [07:46] i am new at irc can someone tell me , is there an german irc for ubuntu and what had i have to done i use xchat . thanks for now [07:46] hi all some one know irc of anonymous? [07:46] LinprayerxX: /join #ubuntu-de [07:46] ikonia, lol, how long will that take? Although the HDD+SSD journal setup will be becoming more popular, it's the cheapest way to upgrade the hdd usability, ... [07:46] KrayonWork, if theres a bug theres not much you can do apart from wait or submit a big report [07:46] bug* [07:46] thx [07:46] taraduffy: cd ~/Desktop/Driver [07:46] yacc: it will take as long as it takes, you can push it through by working with people, so I guess it is as quick as you can gather and motivate people [07:47] How can I ascertain where it came from? [07:48] KrayonWork, i have no idea what / if ubuntu does to the files [07:48] ActionParsnip: OK, done. Now how do I run the install.sh? [07:49] ./install.sh [07:49] ikonia, my experience with reporting bugs on launchpad has been that the ubuntu guys have no qualms to merge bugs that are obviously not related (and/or at least not enough investigated to decide that), so if you've got a laptop that has a thermic issue (which is obviously software caused, because older kernels do not have it), you get merged into one huge bug that contains everything from broken software, missing driver support and true software issues. [07:49] taraduffy: chmod +x ./install.sh; sudo ./install.sh [07:49] ActionParsnip, i can't tell, it looks happy is all i can say [07:49] chalcedony: sounds an all? [07:49] ikonia, curiously that "merged bug" never moved forward for years, guess this is by design so (if you merge different issues into one bug you'll have problems to manage it). [07:50] not sure ActionParsnip - restarting firefox [07:50] yacc: I've found that you get what you put into the bug system, if you log a bug and just keep putting info on it, nothing will happen, if you log a bug with info, find the right people to work with and help push it through, it gets fixed. I don't believe the model is an acceptable model, but it is how it is [07:51] ikonia, so how does one find "the right people"? === Singham is now known as Atharva [07:51] bb, the dog needs a walk [07:51] yacc: read on the mailing lists, look at previous bugs, look who's working on the current kernel updates, ask for input,contacts, just basic hussle [07:51] why ubuntu is so unstable???? [07:52] ActionParsnip, IT WORKS!!! [07:52] : Thanks dude... :) [07:52] Atharva, get it working? [07:52] Guest16112, whats the problem? [07:52] Guest16112 which release are you using? [07:52] Gentoo64: every thing!! [07:52] Gentoo64: programs crash [07:52] 11.04? [07:52] chalcedony: sweet :-) [07:52] : cmus is... mplayer is installed but I am unable to operate it :( [07:53] !details [07:53] 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 ..." [07:53] Gentoo64: yep 11.04 [07:53] Atharva, is it pure cli you're using? [07:53] Guest16112, i think the next version comes out in couple weeks [07:53] no idea why 11.04 is so bad [07:53] cli : IWhat is cli ? I dont know..how to check for it ? [07:53] I have a keyboard with some special keys like calculator, web, mail and search. how or where could I change the target of for example the search function? [07:53] Gentoo64: even synaptic shows errors on its first run [07:54] Atharva, do you have a desktop running? or just a black console screen [07:54] they hurried up unity to get it tested out asap [07:54] chalcedony: if you run: history you can copy the command i gave and store it for when you want to reinstall the OS [07:54] :Desktop is running :) [07:54] Gentoo64: i think the next version keeps most of the problems [07:54] Atharva, why do you need terminal apps? to run mplayer type mplayer than path to file [07:55] Guest16112: tried maverick? [07:55] Atharva, eg: mplayer /videos/etc [07:55] 11.04 runs perfectly fine for me. [07:55] ActionParsnip: no! what is that? [07:55] don't understand why people QQ so much :< [07:55] because it's different [07:55] because it sucks for most people [07:55] !10.10 | Guest16112 [07:55] Guest16112: Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) was the thirteenth release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.10/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1010 [07:56] they want it to be new, but exactly the same as before [07:56] makes them cry [07:56] I like unity, it's not as fancy as fedora's new gnome3 approach, but still it's nice. [07:56] ActionParsnip: you say i downgrade my ubuntu? [07:56] Guest16112, 10.10 was a reliable one [07:57] if you hate 11.04 so much, why not? [07:57] ActionParsnip: all .04s are ustables? [07:57] Guest16112: maverick is a bit older and is pretty solid. It will require a reinstall to achieve [07:57] ActionParsnip, thank you i copied it to somewhere safe :) [07:57] i would think you have a bad install or flakey hardware if core tools like stnaptic are crashing [07:57] why not just use 11.04 with classic interface? [07:58] if unity bothers you [07:58] Guest16112, id run memtest. have you overclocked the ram or cpu? [07:58] : Consider I am on cli...then how to play ? [07:58] Gentoo64: nope! none. [07:58] ethanol: its not a bother, its unstable apparently [07:58] Atharva, type mplayer /file [07:58] ethanol: worth a try though [07:59] Atharva, use tab complete [07:59] Guest16112: have you tried ubuntu classic session? [07:59] Atharva, or if you have a desktop, click on the file from file manager and choose open with and type mplayer (thats what i do) [08:00] ActionParsnip: hmm, no! [08:00] ActionParsnip: classic you mean before 11.04?? [08:01] Guest16112: log off, click your name then at the bottom midle click that and select ubuntu classic [08:01] ActionParsnip: what's the difference then? [08:01] : I want it to run on a machine with cli only...How to do it for that ? [08:02] Guest16112, classic is the way it's been, but with updates inside, runs good [08:02] Guest16112: no compiz and no unity. See how you get on there [08:02] Atharva, im not sure, it might just work typing mplayer than path to file. ive never tried mplayer in pure console [08:03] Atharva, mplayer is fantastic for stuff like dictation in console [08:03] : So where can I get the best Information about it ?? [08:03] google [08:03] mplayer console [08:03] hello. how can i retrieve pppoe password stored in ubuntu with pppoeconf ? [08:04] Atharva, you might have to mess with some settings to get it working in console im not sure [08:04] ActionParsnip: ok. thanks for replies. but you know, people around me use windows and make fun of ubuntu because of its programs crashes and unstability [08:04] Guest16112: if the OS is stable then we have some suspects [08:04] lol [08:05] ActionParsnip: you say windows is not a better one? [08:05] Guest16112: i bet they all use firefox and vlc though ;-) [08:05] : And one more thing..Can I minimize the cmus in cli or I have to completely quit it to start another application ? [08:06] Atharva, you have to quit (q then y) [08:06] Guest16112, you are talking about the oldest battle, my os is better than your os [08:06] Atharva, or use another terminal [08:06] Guest16112: better o [08:06] Better one what? [08:06] : But in cli, I think only one terminal is available for operation...isn't it ? [08:07] Atharva, ctrl + alt + f1-f12 [08:07] Guest16112, i'm glad there are many os's and as many ways as there are users to use and enjoy them, pick what is right for you - ubuntu is awesome and no viruses and defragging [08:07] chalcedony: yes its an old one, :D i know. [08:07] Atharva, will switch consoles [08:07] Guest16112, what about this old one: http://www.whylinuxisbetter.net/ [08:07] * chalcedony smiles [08:08] ztrl-Z ; bg [08:08] is ubuntu good [08:08] at all [08:08] srsly [08:08] !enter | LukeNukem_ [08:08] LukeNukem_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [08:08] Gentoo64: :)) there's a website for it! [08:08] LukeNukem_, good as in what? [08:09] Gentoo64, media? [08:09] great work dude...Thanks :) [08:09] ok [08:09] LukeNukem_, what do you mean by media? [08:09] movies [08:09] ok [08:09] it plays movies [08:11] Gentoo64, is it good for php [08:11] as good as anything is.. [08:11] yea its good for most things [08:11] ikonia, well, which mailing lists? LKM? [08:11] * bitmonk ducks [08:12] Didn't think that Ubuntu used mailing lists much. [08:12] i cannot for the life of me get this to work on EC2: http://pastebin.com/YJh8FcK8 ...once i reboot the instance it doesn't come back. [08:13] jowop: are you attaching the EBS at startup? [08:13] (after reboot) under EBS Volumes, i'm seeing the four in use by the instance [08:14] is there something that i'm overlooking with that? [08:14] hello [08:14] any one know of software that would give me better usablilty in edit metamodes then the nvidia x server config [08:14] all say attached, so i'm assuming that what you've asked is the default behavior [08:15] is there a way to see the differences between files in a ubuntu .deb package and the files currently on the disk? [08:15] jowop: if they're attached sounds ok. Not sure about raid on EC2 as I only have experience with single EBS vols tho [08:15] seeg, there might be a better way, but download the deb, unpack it (deb files are ar archives, man page, google), and then compare the files. [08:16] Is there a command to see which soundcard chip I have? It's integrated and therefore of poor quality, but i'd like to know what it is capable of [08:16] WaltherFI, lspci? [08:16] hmm so now i have youtubes that play, but when i click on System > Preferences > Sound - i get a popup that says: Waiting for Sound system to respond. - i don't have sounds in xchat. :| [08:16] somsip: i think it may be the fstab. i cannot bring up server logs after the reboot :( [08:16] yacc: Not listed in there, as it's integrated [08:17] yacc: it is not a separate pci device [08:17] yacc: i'm on a laptop here [08:17] somsip: The disk drive for /raid is not ready yet or not present [08:17] Continue to wait; or Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery [08:17] WaltherFI, well, then you can grep /var/log/kernel.log ;) [08:18] yacc: ha, that'll do, thanks [08:18] jowop: Can you see the attached columes on the instance...sudo fdisk -l I guess is the same for RAID? [08:19] WaltherFI, and the lspci should give you the search strings for google => usually, one would hope, a given product does not change overnight it's contents (yes, I know, it's IT, and things like this happens, but hope dies last) [08:19] yacc: ahh, apparently my graphics card does the soundcards job too [08:19] yacc, you aware of any programs that make setting up metamodes easier then the nvidia x server settings? [08:19] VampsDaBeast, meta mode? [08:19] yacc: that's why i couldn't see anything related to a soundcard in lspci [08:19] for monitors [08:22] how do I go about mounting a USB flash drive? It seems like its appearing in lsusb but I'm not sure how to determine what to mount -- some output http://pastie.org/2630895 [08:23] How good is Exchange support in Linux? Started a new job today, everyone uses Macs, and mail/calendar/etc is all Microsoft Exchange.. [08:24] stianhj, Microsoft is good, apple are just beeoches. open source - tha shizz [08:24] stianhj: Everything should work with Thunderbird or Evolution, afaik [08:24] stianhj: I do recommend using Thunderbird though, as it is the upcoming default, evolution will be ditched in 11.10 [08:25] whats better [08:25] fedora or ubuntu? [08:25] !poll | LukeNukem_ [08:25] LukeNukem_: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [08:26] LukeNukem_: Also, for an official support channel, we of course will suggest you to use Ubuntu. [08:26] yacc, ok, thank you, i'll try unpacking then ;) [08:27] WaltherFI: Thunderbird only give IMAP and POP as option when setting up email, not exchange [08:27] hate fedora but it has Gnome Shell, Ubuntu is easier but oh that Unity stuff... [08:27] tried Evolution mail which couldn't connect to the server for some reason.. [08:28] WaltherFI: i guess i'll google some thunderbird exchange setup [08:28] at school we got ubuntu :) [08:28] stianhj: evolution isnt easy to get on exchange sometimes [08:28] hi [08:28] any1 cal tell me hw can reboot firefox..? [08:29] i had sme problem last time i dual booted with ubuntu and windows..for eg my windows system gave unexpected shutdowns and inside of ubuntu i dint have codecs and i installed a few and they wouldnt work [08:29] stianhj: try this http://radu.cotescu.com/thunderbird-microsoft-exchange/ === sanjid|away is now known as sanjid [08:30] stianhj: also, got to go now, sorry === isaacmoore is now known as artypig78 [08:31] VampsDaBeast, well, you could always write scripts that manipulate the nvidia settings directly, but what exactly are you trying to achieve? [08:32] is there a way of forcing a client to delete all cookies/cache thru html/js? [08:34] any1 kw how this shit [08:34] yacc, and easy way to edit the metamodes, and possibly a shortcut to activate them [08:34] hi, i had the update installer install some new stuff, now the system is unreasonable sluggish on my netbook [08:35] it seems to consume way more memory than before [08:35] even after bootup without starting anything it already uses 400mb [08:35] VampsDaBeast, as I'm not using the closed-source nvidia stuff, what exactly are meta modes? [08:36] metamodes all you to setup different display sets, when using more then one monitor.. [08:36] top doesn't show a single memory consumer that really stands out [08:36] i'm not using the closed either.. i'm using what was available thru the install === quiesense is now known as quiescens === silent is now known as Guest52866 [08:39] no one here with a netbook and the same problem? [08:39] very high memory usage after last 11.04 upates? [08:39] games on ubuntu? [08:40] LukeNukem_: lots lol [08:41] does anyone have any solution to the bluetooth A2DP delay I get? My mw600 has like a half second delay when in A2DP version, but regular in mono version [08:41] now it uses 600+ MB just to run firefox and xchat [08:42] esheep, call of duty? [08:43] LukeNukem_: don't run windows games here but, to do that you can try installing wine [08:44] Hello, i'm using lucid and i need to update libmemcached greater than 0.32, how i can do that? [08:44] can i somehow roll back updates? [08:46] japro: like going back a version? === Robert_ is now known as Guest45909 [08:47] well, yeah, after the most recent upgrades the memory usage and startup times went through the roof and i can't pinpoint the source [08:47] japro: what version? [08:48] 11.04 [08:48] it consumes more than 400mb just after startup before running anything additional [08:49] japro: really? 11.04 seems to me to be the most worthwhile and I have played with the diff versions [08:49] this happened just now after running the updated manager [08:49] japro: about 340mb? [08:49] the updated manager took forever since it started swapping stuff out [08:50] over 400. now it's at 650 with xchat and firefox [08:50] japro: 340mb is about what I expect to see at startup on 11.04 [08:51] japro: firefox eats ram depending on addons, chrome does too [08:51] How can I reset/purge all bluetooth config from my machine? I cannot uninstall with purge because bluetooth is interwoven into gnome [08:51] japro: how many tabs open on firefox? [08:51] esheep, one that displays a stackoverflow page [08:52] sveinse: keep it from starting via 'startup apps' [08:52] well, maybe this is just normal and i didn't notice before [08:53] japro: what I wish existed was a ram economizer, something to pull ram from the cruff [08:53] i just never had it start swapping memory before (even running eclipse etc.) [08:53] also startup after the update seemed very slow [08:53] almoxarife: its called package manager :) [08:53] almoxarife: How does that help? My problem is that I'm unable to remove a bluetooth device, which I need to re-add to have a working mouse on my system. So I hoped on wiping all of the bluetooth config would help [08:54] hmpf, there is definitely something different [08:54] i had multiple browser windows, eclipse and multiple PDFs open before on this machine [08:54] esheep: removing bluetooth completely is a bench, I suggested insuring it did not start on user session [08:54] hai [08:54] aloha [08:55] now just starting firefox and eclipse puts it to 850mb usage out of my 1gb [08:55] japro: what version of firefox ? [08:55] 7.0.1 [08:56] sveinse: so you need bluetooth every session [08:56] OMG mozilla people say that version 7 reduce mem usage at 30% =( [08:56] curiousx: LOL [08:57] well, I'm not sure that firefox per se is the problem [08:57] curiousx: do you know why FF versions have become so, "inflated?" [08:57] chromium brothers, it's the llamas rear [08:57] hmm, it sits at 90mb atm [08:57] i have Firefox 7 as well, and after 6 hours runing it consume 120 megas =P [08:57] hello.. I have a question, I'm in need to recompile the linux kernel with some testing patches for a school project, can I just grab a linux kernel verion from github (the one maintained by Linus Torvalds) and apply that to Ubuntu or will it require some special patching specifically for ubuntu? [08:58] i dont know but, do you install it from Mozilla's repos ? [08:58] now after closing firefox and ecplise again [08:58] ist still sits at 660mb [08:58] just running xchat and top [08:58] hmpf [08:59] maybe i should try classic instead of unity? [08:59] chrome, it's the gas, once its set to your confy level and sync'ed its saved for ever, [09:00] epiphany isnt a bad browser for lightweight usage [09:00] Morgawr, there is a process for building a working kernel for ubuntu [09:01] Morgawr, you cannot simply make a bzImage of it, and have it boot from grub and expect it to work properly [09:01] i used epiphany and is good it's firefox based [09:02] hellslinger: Is there a website or guide explaining how to do so? mainly because I just need to apply a few patches and see if they run or not... nothing too fancy [09:02] Morgawr, you may want to consider using a build-from-source distro if you want to test a custom kernel, like gentoo or arch [09:02] curiousx: epiphany isnt firefox based [09:02] hellslinger: yeah... I think I might as well go with gentoo I guess [09:03] mmm... i think so, couse are too similary =P [09:03] curiousx: epiphany is a webkit based browser [09:03] excusemy so =( [09:03] :) [09:04] Morgawr, explain a little more about what you want to do? I might have better advice [09:05] hellslinger: it's a university project, our professor made some patches on the UDP protocol and gave us the patched files... we have to do the same with the TCP protocol and then compile the kernel and test them [09:05] Not exactly "ubuntu" related but does anyone know where to file bugs for the ubuntu one windows client? [09:05] Morgawr, does this project require anything GUI dependent? or are you testing TCP/UDP stuff on a command line? [09:06] hellslinger: nah, theoretically only command line [09:06] Hey All Quick Question, I have two internal hardrives, and the non boot hard drive does not auto mount on startup, any idea how i can do this ? [09:06] Morgawr, then I would go with gentoo or arch, you can bet your install bootstrapped, build a kernel [09:06] ad then if you need X, you can just build enough to run xorg and fluxbox [09:06] How set EsounD as default sound server? [09:07] hellslinger: I already have a VM with gentoo and X server, so that's not a problem... [09:07] qrq: perhaps in a vbox [09:08] almoxarife Its not possible in ubuntu? [09:08] Let me rephrase my question: How can I wipe/erase all bluetooth config? Does anyone know where the bluetooth config/pairing is stored? [09:08] Morgawr, I tried to build brainfuck scheduler into Ubuntu a couple of years back and it was a slow and painful process, never worked perfectly either [09:08] hellslinger: look at my question [09:09] qrq: possible? anything is possible, but pulse is basically the sound, and de3viating from it won't be easy [09:09] I want to disable the USB ports for mass storage..is there any gui? [09:09] qrq: what needs esound? [09:09] hellslinger: okay, thanks for the help then, I will go study the process of building custom kernels on gentoo and then get back to the project :) [09:09] A_J: you have to add a line in the "/etc/fstab" file to mount automaticaly [09:09] one line per hard drive [09:10] We are using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS for our desktops user. For the data security, [09:10] I want to disable the USB ports for mass storage. [09:10] looking one sec curiousx [09:10] starting classic also doesn't change much [09:10] almoxarife It got better dynamic range.. :) [09:10] Morgawr, it is as easy as downloading the source, make xconfig, make, and make install on gentoo.... good luck! [09:10] A_J: check mount manual page or google it [09:10] A_J: I'm sorry I can't find your original question, can you resend? [09:10] also it seems the memory percentages that top gives me dont "add up" [09:11] nvm hellslinger [09:11] there is a few processes using 1 or 2% but mostly sub 1% [09:11] ok got fstab open, how do i add it [09:11] qrq: I have a oldddddddddddddddd link to making ubuntu pure alsa, that help? [09:12] A_J: paste the output of ---> sudo fdisk -l [09:12] almoxarife Well thanks but I dont want to experiment again. I can launch apps in esound its enough [09:13] almoxarife Bet getting rid of pulseaudio would be dangerous :D [09:13] curiousx: http://pastebin.com/bkRy94ga [09:13] Especially because I read now that esound is working with pulseaudio [09:13] -_- [09:13] qrq: wanna know what cheap awsome dynamic is? hdmi sound with an extra set of external speakers (cheap too) set to pick up the out from the hdmi [09:14] so, you want to automount the windows partition ? [09:14] almoxarife I got Sennheisers [09:14] qrq: getting rid of pulse is verbotten, yes [09:14] qrq: so, mine are cheap but don't require esound :), good luck [09:15] curiousx: also fstab is readme only now [09:15] almoxarife Ubuntu would be great if not this immature unity :P === jesus is now known as Guest29419 [09:16] qrq: ah unity - the thing that split ubuntu users lol [09:16] But that was said hundred times [09:16] Or even more [09:17] qrq: that's why after flopping around I decide on 11.04 classic with cairo dock, its suppose to be like apple, don't know, I could never afford one, but its clean [09:17] Where can I get more information about how bluetooth-properties and how to manually edit its config? [09:17] There's apparently no usable response here... [09:17] A_J: install ---> sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g [09:18] In my opinion Empathy , Compiz and Unity is one of few Ubuntu problems :P [09:18] qrq - spot on [09:18] esheep What mean to "spot on"? :) [09:18] I don't like Unity _at all_ :S [09:19] sveinse: just use blueman applet [09:19] qrq: spot on about ubuntu's problems [09:19] qrq: compiz is great, the simple one, one corner picks walls, the other picks apps, that means endless walls and apps [09:19] qrq: "spot on" means "absolutely correct", more or less. [09:19] curiousx: ntfs-3g is already the newest version. [09:19] RTFMnow: No, it also doesn't behave correctly. It sits deeper (its a known bug) [09:20] A_J: ntfs-3g comes default [09:20] A_J: ok, login as root [09:20] Lucid is great , really , there is not much bad things to said about it [09:20] umm how [09:20] Not many. [09:21] almoxarife: compiz is a waste of resources === tfilipczuk is now known as makak [09:21] and ---> echo "/dev/sdb1 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g 0 0" >> /etc/fstab [09:21] esheep Just like Beryl was :D [09:21] qrq: yeah [09:21] Beryl was extremaly hungry of resources :D [09:21] sory i dont have installed lastest ubuntu =( [09:21] esheep: yeah, cause I am doing some really serious stuff here, I can't afford the time slices [09:22] curiousx: how do i login as r00t [09:22] now create the directory ---> sudo mkdir /mnt/windows [09:22] good morning [09:22] A_J: sudo su [09:23] most users have a 10 minute play with wobbly windows etc then compiz is done [09:23] myn is -> #/dev/sda1 /mnt/hd/WindowsXP ntfs-3g umask=0022,fmask=0133,uid=777,gid=100,locale=en_US 0 0 [09:23] RTFMnow: won me =( [09:23] I'm looking for some help regarding dual booting ubuntu and windows 7 with a shared ntfs partition, is it possible to do it? [09:23] btw, if you got to cli, get cli companion, its like cli gui, sort of [09:23] doune curiousx [09:23] dai: yes, you can mount your windows partition from inside ubuntu [09:24] I've got a problem after installing unity on top of Kubuntu, when I start kde, gnome stuff starts in background, and it takes long to load, if kde desktop (plasma) crashes, see gnome behind it! [09:24] you are login as root ? or you done all the comands ? [09:24] @ stianhj what about the other way around? I [09:24] dai: yes it is, two ways, simple ways [09:24] Girly-Girl: uninstall unity? [09:25] stianhj: I wanted to have unity session also seperate from KDE [09:25] dai: windows can (of course) read/write NTFS partitions, Ubuntu can also read/write [09:25] curiousx: please don't advise people to login as root [09:25] NTFS [09:25] curiousx: is that it ? [09:25] Not even mention about KDE issues :P [09:25] is this the place for ubuntu 11.10 beta? [09:25] dai: but windows can't (easily) read ext4 partitions (so your /home and / folders) [09:25] !11.10 | Kiranos [09:25] Kiranos: Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) will be the fifteenth release of Ubuntu. Codename announcement here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/?p=646 Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [09:25] auronandace: ok [09:26] But really im impressed by Gnome and Ubuntu developers [09:26] I mean by their work [09:26] yes that all [09:26] dai: if windows is already installed, then consider ubuntu wubi, ran it for years, works fine, and you can access the windows files :), got extra room?dual boot and still do the same [09:26] Girly-Girl: oh, not sure why they would mix together [09:26] !natty [09:26] Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1104 [09:26] that's the problem.. I allocated the rest of my hdd space as ext4 on /home [09:26] win7 doesn't detect any other partition than itself [09:26] dai, almoxarife: you don't need wubi to access windows files [09:26] from ubuntu [09:26] stianhj: I think the nautilus process starts and does fishy things [09:27] you create de directory ---> /mnt/windows #then ---> echo "/dev/sdb1 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g 0 0" >> /etc/fstab [09:27] ubuntu wubi is another ubuntu os ? [09:27] yes curiousx did that [09:27] auronandace: I was more thinking of the development channel, I'm having issues with hybernate [09:27] ok, reboot [09:27] dai: no, wubi is a windows installer for ubuntu.. [09:27] on 11.10 [09:27] Many people complain about Ubuntu and etc but developers are making really great job [09:27] dai: wubi is a way to ubuntu within windows [09:27] and see if automount the NTFS file system [09:27] okie brb curiousx [09:28] dai: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/windows-installer [09:28] what's mean brb ? [09:28] qrq: agreed [09:28] sorry i'm new, only tried linux a few hours ago which is why Im dual booting [09:28] Kiranos: 11.10 is under development, it is discussed in #ubuntu+1 as that factoid pointed out [09:28] ah! [09:28] though i've completely gone OSX now [09:28] Hi, am trying to install a printer driver download, but get "package management system cannot be identified". Can anyone walk me through it please? [09:28] Of course Debian have big merits in that [09:29] would it be possible to use NTFS instead of ext4 for /home when installing Ubuntu and would windows recognize that partition ? [09:29] Am using: "chmod +x ./install.sh; sudo ./install.sh" [09:29] curiousx: brb = be right back [09:29] Thats out of the question [09:29] thanks thyri0n =) [09:29] dai: you can dual boot, great, so, how much room you got after win is done? [09:30] curiousx, alternative to rebooting is: sudo mount -a [09:30] auronandace: thanks! [09:30] dai: no, /home is on a ext4, but I got around it by keeping stuff on the ntfs via links [09:30] my partitions are 50gb win7 / 15gb ubuntu / 100mb master boot record / 500mb linux boot / 5gb swap / 230gb /home [09:31] overdub: i don't remeber that =P [09:31] :D [09:31] curiousx: the drive disaprred [09:31] dai: 230gb home? [09:31] now what [09:31] i dumped the rest of my hdd space into /home [09:31] what does 100mb master boot record mean ? [09:31] my MBR is 512 bytes . [09:32] RTFMnow, windows 7 boot partition? [09:32] it's space windows takes out for system files [09:32] 100mb for partition data ? [09:32] RTFMnow, do you use windows 7? [09:32] dai: I don't thonk you have issues then, 15gb ubuntu means youwont be kubunting and edibunting , but that's a lot of space [09:32] it creates a boot partition [09:32] thats 100mb [09:32] would ubuntu wubi run linux as an application within windows or is it set up as a dual boot system? [09:33] oh [09:33] ups!

[10:01] * A_J is going for a reboot brb [10:02] KM0201: i'm aware of that, just want to encourage better usage [10:02] auronandace: of course, but.. if sudo didn't fix the problem, gksudo won't.. and his whole issue seems to be that his fstab entry is working, my point is... don't confuse the issue... [10:03] A_J: can you pastebin your fstab? [10:04] So what do I do if I find a bug in apport (10.04LTS)? [10:04] Hello, How can I install gnome 3.2 on my Natty 11.04?

[10:05] yacc: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Apport [10:05] it worked at the end auronandace but i needed it mounted as it was mnaully mounted not in the windows folder, as i have torrent paths assosiated with the address [10:05] A_J: well done [10:06] KM0201: Thnx, I will install it now since it is unstable. [10:06] lol i deleted it and am back where i started [10:06] perhaps a bash script to run whenever i startup auronandace [10:06] Syria: just be prepared to reinstall your OS.. you've been warned [10:06] A_J: pastebin your fstab please [10:07] A_J: and also the output of sudo fdisk -l [10:07] Girly-Girl, so how does that help me if apport ends with a traceback (Actually I know even the fix, *grrr*, it's a newbie python error) [10:07] actually, restarting in the old kernel did not fix i think. now it opens, but if i mousever the nautilus window it dims out [10:08] KM0201: http://pastebin.com/b6DdC7Jr [10:08] Well, the web interface hides it a little bit, but google found the web form ;) [10:08] KM0201: : http://pastebin.com/Lt6FM8xT [10:09] Nope, it redirects to a Wiki page telling me to use apport, these guys should be shot. [10:09] KM0201: Sorry I wanted to say I will NOT install it since it is unstable!! [10:09] KM0201: Thank you for warning me. :-) [10:09] ?no-redirect <= this is so unfunny.

[10:18] Are there any controler and CPU downclock/ overclock tools on Ubuntu [10:18] A_J: umount /media/Data\ Drive , then sudo mount -a ..that will give errors too if somethign is wrong [10:18] bastidrazor: pay attention, he's tryign to get itt o mount during boot.. thus the reason for the fstab editing [10:18] KM0201: i am paying attention. sudo mount -a will do the same thing. [10:19] KM0201: if sudo mount -a fails then restarting isn't going to help since it won't mount anyway [10:19] Anyone know how I can edit the GRUB list? [10:19] i see what you're saying [10:19] i've never used sudo mount -a good tip. [10:21] KM0201: it's yet not booted now what [10:21] !grub2 | jonathon_ [10:21] jonathon_: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [10:22] A_J: just let it boot... but bastidrazor is right, sudo mount -a would have worked fine. [10:22] That didn't help [10:22] jonathon_: it didn't help because you didn't read it, it is documentation for grub2 [10:23] A_J_: hit "escape".. and see if there's a message to skip mounting [10:23] nop === Girly-Girl is now known as GirlyGirl [10:23] A_J_: ok, just let it continue booting, see if it boots up... [10:24] okie KM0201 how much time should i wait [10:24] it really shouldn't take that long [10:24] and you're not seeing a messag eto "hit S to skip" or somethng like that? [10:24] no KM0201 looks like it's hung [10:24] hi. i am having problems in internet connectivity.. i am behind a proxy but i've set my proxy settings and i can access internet in firefox. I also set the same proxy settings as "global" but i still cant make it work in the terminal [10:25] any ideas? [10:25] A_J_: ok, restart.. and choose recovery mode [10:25] how do i get the selection screen KM0201 [10:25] for mode [10:26] um, hang on ... right ctrl i think (just keep hitting during boot).. lemme check [10:26] A_J_: hold shift after POST [10:27] nvm KM0201 it booted after a reboot [10:27] A_J_: oh ok.. wellt hats weird [10:27] did it auto mount? [10:27] thanks blast_hardcheese [10:28] yes KM0201 done [10:28] thank you [10:28] ok [10:28] i'll have to remember that sudo mount -a didn't know that [10:28] should do an another reboot to check ? KM0201 [10:28] !best > Ben64 [10:28] Ben64, please see my private message [10:28] is there anything bad that can happen upgrading from an Ubuntu 9.04 [10:28] to a ubuntu 10.04 Server LTS? [10:28] what does sudo mount -a do ? [10:28] any way I can do a rollback in case something goes wrong? [10:29] empity: no. once you upgrade, its final [10:29] A_J_: naa, unmount it with sudo umount /media/Data [10:29] empity: you cannot do such upgrade directly (without problems atleast) and no, you cannot roll back [10:29] then sudo mount -a [10:29] Hey guys/a, which software should I install for java programming? [10:29] install [10:29] empity: you can upgrade one version at a time ofcourse, which I believe is the supported way [10:30] netbeans [10:30] doguito: Netbeans [10:30] empity: the only way to rollback would be to restore a backup [10:30] Netbeans is for ava/C/C++ ..... [10:30] java* [10:30] doguito: Eclipse [10:30] working well KM0201 thank you [10:31] no problem, not sure why it hung on the first boot thoug, weird [10:31] curiousx, A_J_: so..., netbeans,eclipse.... [10:31] Is there an easy way to set up simple language switching say if I have a system set up using English as the default but at time wish to input/type in say German or some other langauge? [10:31] yes [10:31] yes [10:32] heya im back! [10:32] KM0201: one more question if you don't mind [10:32] A_J_: sure [10:32] I hit a snag... I can't create an additional partition because I have exceeded the amount of primary partitions, is there a way to increase the limit of primary partitions ? [10:33] well it's my vlc player, i keep my ubuntu pc on for weeks at a time, after a few days the video stop's showing only the audio. any clue why [10:33] A_J_: i have no clue on that one.. [10:33] KM0201: lol no1 does [10:33] what do you use for video KM0201 [10:34] A_J: gnome mplayer *usually*... but sometimes vlc.. [10:34] dai: no, you're meant to use logical partitions (within an extended partition) [10:34] thing is i have a slow processer, so for hd i need to rely on vdpau, so i use smplayer, but it laggs at jitters once in a while [10:35] hmm [10:35] apparently u need dual core for hd [10:36] sm players jitters often spoil a movie [10:36] @auronandace I tried gentoo's advice to install Win 7 and Ubuntu on separate partitions and to create another ntfs partition that both OS can access but using gparted I can't create a partition with the rest of my allocated space because i would exceed 4 primary partitions :/ [10:36] A_J: i use "mplayer -vfm ffmpeg -lavdopts fast:skiploopfilter=all" for HD movies on this weak laptop [10:37] bastidrazor: my mplayer has never ever worked [10:37] A_J: smplayer IS mplayer [10:38] bastidrazor: so in sm player i would do what [10:38] dungkcna [10:39] dai: then you need to delete some partitions to make room [10:39] auronandace: ok well then I think we should do something like: complete backup of the machine, upgrade one version at a time [10:39] I bought a Blackberry today and was wondering here if anyone could help me to get contacts and SMSes/MMSes off my old Nokia E63 and onto this Blackberry 9300 3G Curve. Is there software in Ubuntu to do this? [10:40] dai: linux and an ntfs storage partition can be put in an extended partition, windows needs a primary [10:40] A_J: smplayer is a front-end for mplayer. i'm not sure that syntax will work. [10:40] and if something goes wrong we can still rollbcak [10:40] hai all !! I got a problem with aircrack-ng in ubuntu , when I use aireplay-ng command it shows like this 'mon0 is on channel -1, but the AP uses channel' please help me to fix this ! [10:40] @auronandace can I turn my linux partitions into logical instead ? [10:40] dai: you'd need to reinstall [10:41] how do i reply to you automatically? i like the beep lol [10:41] dai: but yeah, the linux partitions should be logical [10:42] is it possible to make the linux ext4 /boot partition logical? [10:42] empity: i usually just backup my data and fresh install the os (i never bother backing up my os) [10:43] bastidrazor: lol it worked [10:44] but it has no options === fasta_ is now known as fasta [10:45] dai: sure [10:46] If i am using a script to scp a file from a server, ssh asks me to add its host key with a '(yes/no)' prompt. How would i skip that? tried yes | scp user@host:~/filename . , and even with echo yes | scp user@host:~/filename . but no use. [10:46] would ubuntu still run with a "/boot"logical type partition instead of a primary one? [10:47] auronandace: well the problem is that I didn't install this machine, but it's a server installed long time ago by someone who is not here anymore [10:47] hard to tell if there is some hidden stuff which might be deleted in case of problems [10:47] and it shouldn't be [10:48] dai: yes [10:48] dai: depends on your BIOS, usually i would keep /boot off logical as well as lvm. [10:48] hai all !! I got a problem with aircrack-ng in ubuntu , when I use aireplay-ng command it shows like this 'mon0 is on channel -1, but the AP uses channel' please help me to fix this !

[16:45] jkeats: sudo fdisk -l whats the /dev/sdg listed as [16:45] Disk /dev/sdg: 2147 MB, 2147483648 bytes [16:46] jkeats: then the disk is not partitioned. [16:47] but it doesn't need to be partitioned to use swap. what does swap care about parititioning? it is just paging memory out to it. [16:47] !sound [16:47] 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. [16:47] any more than a file needs to be partitioned when swap writes to it. disks are files. [16:47] !mp3 [16:47] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [16:47] i have created DSL connection and worked great , but after restarting now when i connect to the DSL it ask me DSL authentication but the box shows nothing . u can see the box here http://postimage.org/image/1h49cjryc/ [16:48] jkeats: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq#How_do_I_add_more_swap.3F ..read that. it clearly states you need to partition the drive as a swap partition. [16:49] that's hokey. you know, this worked on natty yesterday. [16:49] it's not working on lts, hence why i'm here. [16:49] can anyone help i have a laptop keyboard problem!! the keyboard works fine in the bios!! But doesn't not work in grub or the login screen. this fault suddenly happened with out me doing anything. [16:50] How do I reset the network settings for Ubuntu Server? I have tried to configured the network settings of the server, but with no avail. [16:50] can anyone help i have a laptop keyboard problem!! the keyboard works fine in the bios!! But doesn't not work in grub or the login screen. this fault suddenly happened with out me doing anything. [16:51] DesertFoxNight, get rid of network manager do it all in the /etc/network/interfaces file [16:51] if you are using the graphical interface get use to the idea that ...that will be a sucky way to run a server. [16:52] can anyone help i have a laptop keyboard problem!! the keyboard works fine in the bios!! But doesn't not work in grub or the login screen. this fault suddenly happened with out me doing anything. [16:52] speaking of crap and interfaces...this box im looking at has a ....gnome window effect that drives me nuts. Everytime i get a dialog box, if i move my pointer off of it..it faids off. [16:52] grendal-prime: That doesn't sound normal [16:52] i cant see it and then when i move my moust back over it it reappears...what the hell is that and how do i disable it? [16:53] it is a multi screen display.. [16:53] hmmm [16:53] some setting in compize i think [16:54] jkeats: sorry, i missed something. what's the exact error that gets reported when you try "sudo swapon /dev/sdg"? [16:55] ok bastidrazor i did as you asked and partitioned it and it still complains [16:55] swapon: /dev/sdg2: Invalid argument [16:55] can anyone help i have a laptop keyboard problem!! the keyboard works fine in the bios!! But doesn't not work in grub or the login screen. this fault suddenly happened with out me doing anything. [16:55] jkeats: get anything more if you supply the -v switch? [16:55] that's why i say swapon -a or swapon /dev/sdg2 [16:55] sdG? How many hard drives do you have!? [16:55] jkeats: /dev/sdg2 none swap sw 0 0 [16:55] nothing more useful [16:56] bastidrazor: still the same [16:56] jkeats: this isn't a physical disk? [16:57] it's a physical disk as much as the machine knows it is [16:57] it's a machine in the amazon cloud [16:57] jkeats: how is the volume mounted in the machine? [16:57] it's swap, it isn't mounted :p [16:57] jkeats: you know what i mean. [16:58] well it's in /etc/fstab === GirlyGirl_ is now known as GirlyGirl [16:58] but before i put it in /etc/fstab i just said swapon /dev/sdg [16:58] and then after all the complaining about it needing to be formatted, i said swapon /dev/sdg2 [16:58] OK, seems like BarkingFish will not be here soon, who can help me fix my issue with USB flash and trash being with files from usb which I cannot delete?? [16:58] jkeats: what network transport mechanism? "Swap over NFS may not work.", says the swapon man page. [16:58] you clearly don't understand AWS [16:59] the machine thinks it's physically connected. [16:59] that's what "sd" means in the volume name [16:59] I'm sorry, gigenieks - I was called away to the phone. [16:59] jkeats: i don't. that's why i'm asking. [16:59] to the machine, these are scsi-attached disks. [17:00] BarkingFish: my last and useful output from terminal --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/701796/ [17:02] gigenieks, you gave the wrong command. [17:02] you gave sudo fsck /dev/sdb - it should be sudo fsck.vfat /dev/sdb [17:03] I did that command too [17:03] sec will do that [17:04] your drive is partitioned, so if /dev/sdb doesn't work, try /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb2 separately [17:04] matovako [17:05] !fi | heikki_ [17:05] heikki_: Tämä kanava on tarkoitettu vain englanninkieliselle keskustelulle.

[17:14] BarkingFish: what was the output of fdisk -l /dev/sdb ? [17:14] gigenieks, it's not possible to help you when you're not here, since we'd need to get you to try stuff out as it's done [17:14] gigenieks, before you go, can you just try what fritsch suggested please? [17:14] grendal-prime, how do I remove network manager using the terminal? [17:14] it will give us some ideas [17:15] DesertFoxNight: apt-get remove networkmanager or somesuch [17:15] output: "Cannot open /dev/sdb" [17:15] fritsch, if it helps, I saw the dmesg output from when he attached the usb disk, it's definitely sdb [17:16] gigenieks: you look at the wrong device [17:16] BarkingFish: did you have ssh access? [17:16] fritsch, no [17:16] When I type that command, I get "Unable to locate package networkmanager" [17:17] he did the dmesg output after plugging the disk in, and this is what we saw fritsch - http://paste.ubuntu.com/701785/ [17:17] DesertFoxNight: it is network-manager [17:17] ahem [17:17] ubuntu@ip-10-204-5-232:/home/alex$ sudo swapon /dev/xvds [17:17] ubuntu@ip-10-204-5-232:/home/alex$ [17:17] bonjour [17:17] fritsch, unless I've misinterpreted the dmesg, that shows sdb as being attached with 2 partitions, sdb1 and sdb2 [17:18] !fr | Okidor78 [17:18] Okidor78: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci.

[17:19] Ok, now I get a message that reads: "Virtual packages like 'network-manager' can't be removed" [17:19] :( [17:19] hey. does anyone know how i can issue commands throgh ssh that makes the host do something. like play a movie in vlc? [17:19] Alsom I'm runnin Ubuntu Server on VirtualBox. [17:19] fritsch - i told him only to unmount it, and then to run sudo fsck.vfat /dev/sdb to it [17:19] I gave him no instruction to unplug it, only to umount [17:19] BarkingFish: sdb is the raw device, this would not make sense [17:19] BarkingFish: if there are partitions on it [17:20] BarkingFish: we talk about gigenieks <- right? [17:20] yeah, I changed it to sdb1 and sdb2 after reading the dmesh a second time [17:20] gigenieks: please unplug your drive and replug it [17:20] *dmesg [17:20] gigenieks: paste the dmesg output to a pastebin [17:20] he can't now, he's to go out. We will try again later :) [17:20] BarkingFish: oki [17:21] I've noticed that recently Compiz has been having trouble understanding how long a millisecond is. It seems as if instead of "milliseconds" it's going by number of frames [17:21] gigenieks, we will speak again later, I have to leave also for a while.

[17:44] ... other than using post-processing [17:44] lucidguy, depends on price and your wallet. You can always keep your power supply and put it in your next machine (swap). A larger one keeps obsolescence away until form factor changes [17:44] 1 [17:44] Afaik, printscrn does the whole shebang, there may be shift or alt you can press to change how it acts but I've always used imagemagick [17:45] mattalexx: the cursor will change and you can draw your rectangle [17:45] hey im having a problem when booting ubuntu 10.04 [17:46] The main reason why I'm replacing is because the system seems to randomly restart lately...

Use cursors to scroll and q to exit [17:48] 2 [17:48] AndChat|, ill run it right now since i just booted and ill reply the response, ill probably have to use pastebin tho [17:48] Benb:could try the xorg edgers update ppa [17:48] AndChat|: url?

AndChat| [17:53] http://lmgtfy.com/ [17:53] is there anyway to export the output of dmesg | less to a txt file of anykind or a file in general? [17:53] Ocean: fine but it will take a long time. If you give people some direction they can find out stuff better. If you just give links they will never learn, meaning more support is needed by volunteers [17:54] grendal-prime: that too, lmgtfy is not welcome here [17:54] glitchd: dmesg | tail somefile [17:54] good altrenative..dang...

I use it with a persistant data space. Are there ways to speedup the boot/shutdown process? And how canI get rid of the initial screen to select langage and chose to try xubuntu or install it? (I always select "french" and then "try without installing") [18:09] Paulus__: firefox 7 isn't in 11.04, yet. [18:09] Let me check that AncChat :) [18:09] so is there any free softaware similar to camtasia? [18:10] !info firefox [18:10] Benb: there is a kernel ppa but i would not advise using it as it is not supported here. [18:10] firefox (source: firefox): Safe and easy web browser from Mozilla.

[18:10] it has been released. good deal. [18:10] AndChat|: at the moment, 10.04 doesn't work, I am in VESA mode. [18:10] AndChat|: please tell me the supported way to get new drivers. [18:11] touchpad: you may be able to use remastersys to modify the iso. You could instead install the OS to the USB and treat it like a regular drive === phasma_ is now known as phasmatis [18:12] Benb: install a later release is all i can advise [18:12] hello, can you help me get a nvidia gtx 460 work an ubuntu 10.10 [18:12] !nvidia | airdem [18:12] airdem: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [18:12] AndChat|: 10.04 *is* the latest LTS release. I want to use LTS, with a current computer. there must be some supported way to do that. [18:13] I've installed Ubuntu on my PC & everything is going great and working except I get no sound whatsoever. The sound is enabled in the BIOS. It's an onboard audio and haven't had problems with this motherboard prior to installing Ubuntu. I've followed the advice listed on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting. I can get to step six but that is where I get stuck. [18:13] Excuse me but when i Record some CD with 'Brasero'... People can't see the files into the cd in another OS like 'Window$' or 'OS'... what can i do? [18:13] BenB, i would think to just use update manager..? [18:13] Benb: not that i know of, maybe others can advise [18:13] BenB: wait till 12.04 [18:13] auronandace: not funny [18:13] hello there [18:13] glitchd: and I do what there? [18:14] When I run "lspci -v | grep "Audio device"" I get no response. Does anybody have any suggestions? [18:14] Sadly: tried a different burning app, like xfburn? [18:14] @ AndChat .. A new user had no problems logging in [18:14] jrib: I did not. was installed b4 i was managing the box [18:14] TheLawnmowerMan, try 'audio' or 'Audio' [18:14] keep it simple [18:14] so is it just best for me to create a new user? and Migrate some of my settings over? [18:15] AndChat xfburn? do you think these will be the solution? xfburn is into the synaptic? [18:15] looking for a good (read free) screen recorder for ubuntu. any suggestions [18:15] compdoc: no results with 'audio' or 'Audio' [18:15] AndChat|: xfburn? do you think these will be the solution? xfburn is into the synaptic? [18:15] BenB, thats where it would list if there was an update for anything, that or System->Admin->Hardware Drivers [18:15] Dovid: hmm, see if the sendmail package is installed [18:16] TheLawnmowerMan, then its possible that its using the device name [18:16] i got list of command on a file with number for each command one number for example : 1. ls -l 2. cat /etc/network/interface etc .... now what i want to do is from that file i want to call each number like this !1 for calling command 1 !2 for calling command 2 etc .... [18:16] try lspci -v and look through it [18:16] what i have to do ? to make that one possible ? [18:16] Waddup all? [18:16] glitchd: I am already up-to-date [18:16] checking now [18:16] oiyeu: Thats probably a better question for #bash [18:17] usb flash gets automountet into /media right? [18:17] BenB, then what exactly was your question again?..sry [18:17] I see it [18:17] ok thanks Pici [18:17] 00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.

[18:18] glitchd: I want to use 10.04 LTS with my new computer, with AMD A8-3850 and oncpu-graphics. xorg as-is doesn't support that new "graphics card", and uses VESA mode, while I have 2 monitors with 1920x1200 each and need to use them. [18:18] I apologize for wandering from the path...but..well Im a bad man what can i say.... ok back on topic...anyone familiar with this windo fade out option that is soooo irritating? [18:19] Paulus__: ok so we now know it is your settings and not the browser itself. If you rename ~/.mozilla then rerun the browser, you will get the same result as your first user, you can copy you bookmarks (if you use them) from the old config but you will need to reinstate addons, themes and resave stored passwords. This is the only way I can think to solve it personally. Maybe others can advise a sleeker method. Maybe an addon you have is stopping the page and [18:19] glitchd: so, I just need new drivers for the new hardware, that's all. that must be possible with LTS, otherwise LTS is useless. [18:19] yes, i believe you are correct [18:19] compdoc: this is what I see http://paste.ubuntu.com/701853/ [18:19] Should probably have broken that up. Apologies to all :-( [18:19] did u get some new parts for the comp? [18:20] glitchd: it's an entirely new computer. [18:20] BenB: lts is designed for stability, that can come with the price of newer hardware simply isn't supported [18:20] (almost= [18:20] auronandace: there is no stability if I cannot use it anymore. [18:20] is ubuntu already installed on it? [18:20] glitchd: yes. [18:20] grendal-prime: do you mean app windows going monochrome? [18:20] BenB, are there any updates registering? [18:21] glitchd: I am up-to-date [18:21] i open something and move my mouse pointer off it..and it fades to transparrent...like 98% [18:21] (I just did apt-get dist-upgrade and reboot) [18:21] BenB: anymore? so you've used 10.04 on it before? [18:21] BenB, well if any new updates come out, they should pop up in the update manager [18:21] kinda ...well i keep loosing my most recient opened app AndChat|.. [18:22] auronandace: I have used 10.04 on the old computer, and I want to continue to use it. I just changed the hardware, and do *not* want to change the software. [18:22] an it spans acros two monitors..alot of realistate when i plug the other two monitors in. [18:22] BenB: what hardware have you changed exactly? (sorry if you've already said in channel) [18:22] auronandace: everything [18:23] Benb: there is the proposed repo if you want later stuff too. Not sure how supported the packages are in here (if at all) [18:23] Anyone have experience with Rdp Connections to Virtualbox on Ubuntu? [18:23] Any other suggestions? Ubuntu sees my audio device but I still get no audio. http://paste.ubuntu.com/701853/ [18:23] i have to scan across allot of ground to get the app to fade back in..or alt tab to it..wich works...dont get me wrong. but it seems like it would be easyer to just not fade it off and then i could just see it..and..well click on it. [18:24] BenB: i don't think you can just transfer 10.04 off the old pc to the new, you'd need to reinstall (especially since the hardware is different) [18:25] Barco: set the network interface to be bridged in the vbox config and it will get an ip from your router. You can then rdp to that ip and it will connect [18:25] Girly-Girl!! finally you are here!! are you the girly-girl i married...? or the girly-grirl i didnt marry? [18:25] grendal-prime: wrong channel [18:25] grendal-prime: Try to stay on-topic, k? [18:25] auronandace: normally that works just fine. a reinstall doesn't change anything. the problem is that the drivers in 10.04 are too *old* to support the new chips. so, there must be updates for new hardware, to continue to use LTS. [18:26] GirlyGirl, what do you know about windows that fade out after you move your mouse off of them? [18:26] auronandace: even if it's optional. but just telling an LTS user to install 11.10 beta is not great. [18:26] :-) [18:26] grendal-prime: Probably compiz trail focus plugin [18:26] grendal-prime: ??? [18:26] grendal-prime: Or opacify [18:27] tried changing the opacify didtn make any diff [18:27] Hi everyone, I'm struggling to get sound though my labtop speakers. INFO: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=344083674d8cb9b42233a511d289f5f37a738364 - The headphone jack works perfectly, but the builtin speakers doesn't, any suggestions? [18:27] BenB, no normally transferring a system for one computer to another does *not* work [18:27] BenB: i never suggested that, but the fact is that 10.04 uses an older kernel which doesn't have support for your hardware (you want support then you'll need a newer kernel) [18:27] glebihan, speak for yourself...ive had a ton of luck with that [18:27] grendal-prime, well you were just lucky then [18:28] hello all, how do I get into grub on an ubuntu system? It keeps doing a splash screen and I can't boot into the grub menu [18:28] terje: hold shift [18:28] not across architecturers that is..but.. [18:28] ah, thanks. [18:29] How do people use Ubuntu without sound? I don't get it [18:29] terje: happy rebooting ;) [18:29] I am trying to get output in my ubuntu ~/.bashrc of this function but not in the case where the result is an error or is not a .git folder [18:29] auronandace: yes, I understand that. I just want a supported way to get the new drivers, even if that means that I install linux 3.1 (which I'd be happy about for my SSD and trim support, too) and a new xorg. I just don't want my whole software landscape (including gnome3 and stuff) changed. [18:29] $(git log --oneline -n 3 2>/dev/null) [18:29] TheLawnmowerMan: What do you mean? [18:29] how do I do it? [18:30] TheLawnmowerMan: my torrent/samba/fileserver runs ubuntu without sound... [18:30] auronandace: I'm fine with adding a new repo for updates, as long as it's sure to work, not "may or may not work". === kforbz_ is now known as kforbz [18:30] BenB, are you telling us that you absolutely want to stick to LTS and are using gnome3 on it ??? I don't get it... [18:30] BenB: a new kernel and a new xorg is not a trivial thing to change, that is why it isn't offered under lts [18:31] glebihan: no, he doesn't want to change to gnome 3 [18:31] glebihan: no, I don't want gnome3 and want to stick to gnome2, and that's one of the reasons I want to keep LTS. [18:31] how can I choose where I mount my iphone? gtkpod requires it be mounted to /media/ipod... [18:31] jstoone: I've installed Ubuntu but I can't get any audio to work. I see my audio card in Sound and I can find it in terminal (paste.ubuntu.com/701853/) but it's not working. [18:31] that, or how can I figure out where it is mounted? [18:31] auronandace: fine. I don't care. just make the *current* LTS release work with *currently* sold computers. [18:31] BenB, oh ok I misread you sorry [18:32] auronandace: I don't think that's too much to ask. [18:32] devan: You can remount it manually, create a symlink or possibly mess with udev settings [18:32] TheLawnmowerMan: Does the headphone jack work? [18:32] BenB, just so you know, natty doesn't come with gnome3 [18:32] how do i check in synaptic to see which kernels are installed? [18:32] jstoone: No [18:32] BenB: take a look at the release date of 10.04 and then tell me when you purchased the pc which you are trying to install it on [18:32] any good screen recording software? [18:33] TheLawnmowerMan: Is it a newly installed box? [18:33] Yes [18:33] auronandace: the release date is irrelevant. it's the current LTS, so it must get updates for current hardware. [18:33] blueskaj, Jucato are you here somewhere? [18:33] auronandace: (and I think 10.04.4 was released after amd fusion) [18:34] TheLawnmowerMan: Have you looked in the "Additional Drivers"? So see if your card is there and needs to be activated? [18:34] I don't want to argue. I just want my PC to work. [18:34] jstoone: I'd show you a screenshot of my sound settings but it's just showing a digital mess. [18:34] BenB: i can't help you [18:34] jstoone: and I can't see my mouse pointer...I just see some weird pixels [18:34] BenB, then make a fresh install [18:34] glebihan, i dont get it...i mean..seriously for base functionality? yank a drive out of an i386 machine..put it into another one..same arch. Why would that pose any huge problem? [18:34] glebihan: thanks, but I don't think natty supports the AMD A8-3850, does it? [18:35] jstoone: looking at 'additional drivers' [18:35] glebihan: does a fresh install of 10.04 fix it? [18:35] TheLawnmowerMan: What kind of computer are we talking about here? toaster? [18:35] BenB: the bottom line is that you simply need a recent kernel that supports your hardware [18:35] BenB, because hardware is not the same [18:35] auronandace: fine. where do I get it? [18:35] jstoone: microwave [18:35] TheLawnmowerMan: Nice! +1 [18:35] grendal-prime, ^^ [18:35] BenB: you can't under 10.04 [18:35] if its diff arch then ya that will not work..but 686 has changed that much? [18:35] TheLawnmowerMan: Can you activate anything? [18:35] auronandace: ah, there's the problem. [18:36] BenB: a fresh install usually is more efficient than repairing errors [18:36] BenB: exactly, that is what i've been trying to tell you [18:36] jstoone: It's saying that No proprietary drivers are in use on this system. [18:36] grendal-prime, I didn't it would never work, just that it's a bad idea and is likely not to work. Now if it works for you, I'm fine with it [18:36] auronandace: no backports, no supported new kernel, and I am left in the cold. ubuntu clearly didn't think here. they expect me to use the same hardware for 5 years. that's unrealistic. [18:36] could anyone fill me in as to what change I need to make so that all directories are visible in my /home/usrname directory? [18:37] TheLawnmowerMan: So there are no devices/drives on the list? [18:37] got it. [18:37] joseph_: Ctrl-h [18:37] TheLawnmowerMan: drivers/devices* [18:37] joseph_: type ctrl-h [18:37] ty both [18:37] BenB: complian to canonical then, or file bug reports [18:37] jstoone: yeah I just wanted to use this box for xbmc but that got no audio as well [18:37] joseph_: or: ls -a [18:37] sorry didnt mean to badger i was just curious what sort of errors you got ..fooding time. [18:37] MonkeyDust: don't suggest a reinstall, if you're not sure that it fixes the problem. [18:37] grendal-prime, I actually never tried [18:38] jstoone: nothing is in the list for additional drivers [18:38] . [18:38] BenB: everything else seems to fail [18:38] TheLawnmowerMan: oooh, yea you could struggle a bit if it displays some weird pixels, no mouse, and no sound at all. [18:38] hmm. [18:39] jstoone: The weird pixels just started today. It was working fine last night. I'm going to reboot right now and see if that clears up. BRB [18:39] TheLawnmowerMan: kk [18:39] BenB, you can never be certain that anything will fix a problem. A reinstall is likely to solve your issues [18:39] BenB: if you backup first, a reinstall is no great issue [18:40] glebihan, MonkeyDust: guys, if 10.04 (stock) doesn't *contain* the drivers for my hardware, a reinstall is not going to fix it. [18:40] BluesKaj are you active here? [18:41] BenB: what hardware is that? [18:41] MonkeyDust: read up [18:42] compilerwriter, was just aboutnto leave for an hr [18:42] BenB: repeating it is faster and easier [18:42] ok BluesKaj [18:42] MonkeyDust: no, I am trying to tell you that you shouldn't give wrong advice to people. [18:42] compilerwriter, bbl [18:42] how would i go about installing ubuntu onto an empty drive from a running ubuntu session? [18:43] BenB: wrong advice? [18:43] MonkeyDust: yes. suggesting a re-install (which costs about 1h), although it will not fix the problem. if you had listened above, you would know that a reinstall cannot help. [18:44] BenB: just came in, I wasn't at my desk [18:44] Why am I seeing everything, save part and joins, twice? [18:44] BenB: so just repeat the initian question by pressing the up-key [18:45] MonkeyDust: just scroll up, or if you're too lazy for that, don't say anything. [18:45] MonkeyDust: I dom [18:45] MonkeyDust: BenB wasn't aware that 10.04 doesn't support the hardware he has, after he copied over his 10.04 install from an older pc (not realising that he shouldn't do that) [18:45] BenB: please stay polite, we're all volunteers trying to help [18:46] auronandace: I am aware that it may not. I was assuming that canonical cannot be so brain-dead to ignore currently sold hardware on the LTS release. [18:46] auronandace: I was assuming that there *must* be a way to update drivers. under windows, I just pop in the CS. [18:46] CD [18:47] (and Windows XP is supported for 12 years, BTW) [18:47] BenB: Canonical is not brain-dead because you want to do something that is impossible [18:47] MonkeyDust: it is possible. I just want linux 3.1 compiled and tested for 10.04. [18:47] BenB, well... you won't have that [18:48] wait, why is compiling the 3.1 kernel in 10.04 impossible?? [18:48] Ok, I'm stumped. I'm trying to connect an iphone3g with iOS4.2.1, and it's not working, but it looks like it should... First thing I'm thinking to check is my version of libimobiledevice, make sure it's 1.0.4, anyone know how to check that? [18:49] new FP project video is out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BilbX_HiuG0 [18:49] Atamisk, it is possible [18:49] does anyone know how to debug a wifi driver isue on xubuntu 11.04 i tryied the bcm sta drivers and the fw43 installer i removed the blacklisting for the b43xx from the blacklist.conf but stil i cant get wifi loaded [18:49] Atamisk: it isn't impossible, its just not supported [18:49] ahh [18:49] okay [18:49] carry on then === jlstew is now known as JustinStewart [18:50] (was about to say, seeing as i'm running the RC7 of 3.1 and it works great :P) [18:51] TheLawnmowerMan: You back? [18:52] Does anyone know why the audio is out of sync when I play video's on ubuntu 11.04? This only happens on my desktop with ubuntu not my laptop with ubuntu. [18:52] jstoone: yeah, I removed my video card & put it back in. That seemed to fix the weird graphic issues I was having. Still no sound. I've been working on the sound thing for a few days now [18:53] can i use virtualbox to install ubuntu on a real HDD? [18:53] hi again guys, has there been any sign of gigenieks yet? [18:53] BarkingFish: Why not just ask your question? [18:54] http://imgur.com/aCw2u this is what I see in sound preferences [18:55] hi, im having trouble connecting to the internet, i have a built in network card and i've never had any problems with it, when i try connecting it just gives me an error "network disabled" the connection is clearly working okay as im using it at the moment, i have checked the settings of the connection and nothing has changed can anyone suggest what i can do? [18:55] Pici: it is very to asking my question there on Bash channel [18:55] so i ask my question there ? [18:55] i got list of command on a file with number for each command one number for example : 1. ls -l 2. cat /etc/network/interface etc .... now what i want to do is from that file i want to call each number like this !1 for calling command 1 !2 for calling command 2 etc .... [18:55] Welshy_Rob: Can you pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces file to pastebin.com? [18:56] soreau, I did ask my question, did you not see it? :) [18:56] BarkingFish: nope [18:56] does anyone know how to debug a wifi driver isue on xubuntu 11.04 i tryied the bcm STA drivers and the fw43 installer i removed the blacklisting for the b43xx from the blacklist.conf but stil i cant get wifi loaded - it doesn't give error but no wifi avail .. wifi chip is a broadcom 4311 [18:56] I am trying ubuntu utilizing empathy and everyone's stuff is appearing twice what do I do to get rid of the echo? [18:56] soreau: yeah sure [18:56] jstoone: and this is what I see in terminal paste.ubuntu.com/701853/ and this is what I see when I run lspci -v | grep "Audio device" http://imgur.com/0sJMa [18:56] Myself and fritsch were helping gigenieks in here about an hour or so back, he went afk, and I was asking if anyone had seen him again. [18:56] as in, has he come back since we last saw him. [18:56] oiyeu: yes, from the history. That should work by default [18:56] ! broadcom | ichat [18:56] ichat: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [18:56] jstoone: so something is not making sense and I'm not sure how to put it all together [18:57] yes but read my question [18:57] BarkingFish: We don't keep track of every users away status. PM them and see if they are there. [18:57] indeed [18:57] i got a list of command instead of calling from history i want to calling it from my custom file where i got list of command [18:57] ocen [18:58] soreau: http://pastebin.com/0Hh3rkmE [18:58] oiyeu: Put them in a script? [18:58] oiyeu: oh, you would have to script that, but still the !2 command would be interpreted from the shell, not from your script [18:59] oiyeu: since !2 command already exists (it is shell built-in) you have to override that. Anyway it would require some scripting, there's no easy way to do that [18:59] oCean: could he set aliases? [18:59] how it's called unity 2d process? [19:00] oiyeu: if you're looking to create aliases as auronandace suggests, you can add those in your ~/.bashrc file [19:00] Welshy_Rob: Does 'ifconfig' show eth0 or eth1? (or both?) [19:00] soreau: eth1 [19:01] Welshy_Rob: Is NetworkManager running? [19:01] listen oCean [19:01] soreau: yeah [19:01] i got 3 pc where i have to run all command which is on the list [19:02] Hello, any1 now about some good bandwith monitoring tool that can be used to track bandwith usage of induvidual users on ubuntu ? [19:02] Welshy_Rob: So it was working and then it stopped working? (after you did what?) [19:02] give me a solution for this ? [19:02] it tries to connect using auto eth1 but then it just says "network disabled" [19:02] oiyeu: Put them in a script [19:02] copy to all systems and run [19:02] i don't want to copy/paste each command one by one like fool [19:02] no [19:02] soreau: it tries to connect using auto eth1 but then it just says "network disabled" and i havent done anything significant just logged on as usual and found it wasnt working :/ [19:02] oiyeu: you can use bash scripting, which is just a sequence of commands [19:02] hi there. I have a 10.04 Server installation on a VPS and I'm trying to troubleshoot PPTP server proplems. Which log files do I need to look at? All in /var/log/? Sorry, bit rusty with Linux [19:02] i want to do in interactive mode [19:03] so, nobody know? [19:03] Welshy_Rob: What gives you that message?

[19:28] How can I ssh from linux to android devices? [19:29] welshy_rob_: I believe the green light means it's plugged and orange means data is being transfered.

[19:30] hanksP: not really a ubuntu question, but, you'll need to run a ssh-server on the device, also this may not be possible over the cellular network [19:30] welshy_rob_: It's not typical for a network card to just stop working though it's not inconceivable either [19:30] sianhulo: i see, try to keep 11.10 talk in #ubuntu+1 [19:31] soreau: btw, i just tried running a command i found on ubuntu forums "sudo ifup eth1" and it came back by saying ifup couldnt read interfaces file "etc/network/interfaces" [19:31] welshy_rob_: If you have a live cd, try it and see if it works. If it does, the hardware is fine [19:31] fmauro : i tried usual method usb bootable key, cd, and both worked on other computer but not mine, is it tatooed or what?

[19:35] auronandace: it is not in repo [19:35] soreau: okay, done that and saved it [19:35] After entering the pass phrase for my encrypted HDD, the boot process give the errors "Unable to find suitable address" and "mountall: mount /mnt/asdf terminated with status 2".

I am using a live cd on my computer to get to irc [19:38] dondiba: so you can run win7 fine, but the install fails... hmmm. Are you using the guided partitioning to install it alongside of win7? [19:39] compilerwriter: define "rescue", since the drive could possibly have just failed [19:39] and that's dependent on a bunch of factors [19:39] compilerwriter: in case you need it: http://www.forensicswiki.org/wiki/Ddrescue [19:39] fmorau : yes, i did it ; the dell vostro 3550 seems to have this problem not linux install compliant [19:39] compilerwriter: What do you mean by rescue a hard drive? [19:39] TheEvilPhoenix that is what I am needing to determine. If I can rescue the date or not. [19:40] compilerwriter: kinda hard to determine from a livecd [19:40] can you mount the drive? [19:40] The machine had been shutdown and not used for several months. Then there is a bootdisk error on bootup. [19:40] what was the error?

[20:32] Kinda weird I guess... [20:33] !trash [20:33] Your GUI file manager's Trash folder is located at ~/.local/share/Trash/ for files moved to trash from your hard disk and .../.Trash-userid/ on external devices for files moved to trash from the device. [20:33] But important to get it done today [20:34] gigenieks: open the mount point and press CTRL+H and you can see all hidden folders [20:34] ActionParsnip: you mean /media/usb? [20:34] TheEvilPhoenix: Are you at your keyboard? [20:34] i wonder.....can you play dwarf fort on ubuntu? [20:35] gigenieks: cd .../.Trash-userid/ (the one of the usb), then sudo rm it (be sure to be in the right dir) or simply reformat with gparted if that's too risky for you [20:35] There is folder named ".Trash-1000" should I delete it?? [20:35] gigenieks: yes [20:36] I need assistance in getting an application to start once a user logs in [20:36] where would I put the command to start the application [20:37] TheMatrix3000: /etc/rc.local [20:37] use the fucking google, seriously [20:37] google runlevels [20:37] vsync: That attitude and language is not appropriate for this or any of our channels.

Any takers. [20:38] I just updated my nvidia drivers to v 280.13. Ubuntu now fails to boot to desktop. The kernal log states a conflict between client (v 280.13) and the kernal (v 270.41.06). How do I update the kernal to allow the newer drivers? [20:38] I didn't even know they were called run levels [20:38] Maybe you oughta learn some then [20:38] DasEi1: I tried to delete it, but I couldn't pressed "del" key nothing happened, pressed right mouse "delete" option is grayed out (= dont have permissions?!) so i tried to pen file manager "gksudo thunar" (I have Xubuntu) and go to /media/usb but now there is no folder at all... So what should I do? === theuser51_ is now known as Guest73232 [20:38] I am learning [20:38] !runlevels | TheMatrix3000 vsync [20:38] TheMatrix3000 vsync: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [20:39] TheMatrix3000: that's another way to do so, or can use a cronjob === jsurfer_ is now known as jsurfer [20:39] well cronjobs run in time intervals correct [20:39] not based on logins are they? [20:39] DasEi1: Ok i get to see it "show hidden files" but when I delete I got error "Unable to find or create trash directory" [20:39] gigenieks: cd as root to the folder and from inside rmit [20:40] rm it* [20:43] compilerwriter: open a trml [20:43] fgg [20:43] compilerwriter: sudo mkdir /media/hd [20:44] алоха === bober is now known as Guest89484 [20:44] compilerwriter: sudo fdisk -l , which sdXX is it ?

[20:46] gigenieks: else simply reformat it with gparted [20:46] aha, he's back :) Sorry I wasn't here when you arrived back gigenieks - was dealing with a breaking news story which needed urgent attention. [20:46] hi, when shutting down ubuntu, is there a way to see the shutdown console messages instead of the progress bar? [20:47] DasEi1 I got called away can we start over please. My apologies. [20:47] Da** I am getting angry such a pain in a**... I managed to remove that folder, but I could nothing copy to it.. So I tried to remove it and insert again in slot some weird things happening when I insert it I got 2 or 3 windows with "open with" huh??! [20:47] khear: you can edit /etc/default/grub and remove the splash-option [20:47] compilerwriter: open a trml [20:47] compilerwriter: sudo mkdir /media/hd [20:47] compilerwriter: sudo fdisk -l , which sdXX is it ? [20:48] compilerwriter: sudo mount /dev/sdXX /media/hd [20:48] It automatically opens media folder where is "usb" which we created earlier and is locked (locked = with big x sign to it) /media/USB DISK file. [20:48] compilerwriter: cd /media/hd && ls [20:48] DasEi1: thanks [20:48] gigenieks: k, then unmount it and reformat [20:49] khear: nickmiss ? [20:49] how do I exactly reformat it? [20:49] gigenieks: gksudo gparted [20:49] BarkingFish: its fine. [20:50] fdisk -l returned nothing DasEi1 [20:51] DasEi1: need to install it first (I have Xubuntu) there is no gparted by deault [20:51] gigenieks: choose the drive uppr right corner, do a new mstable and forrmat it (right-klick on the emty space, then apply-button) [20:51] compilerwriter: l="L" [20:51] i think on windows you can format the USB device by right clicking on it [20:51] DasEi1: err.. as far as i can see, you told me about the grub option? or maybe i'm going crazy. [20:52] join /#python [20:52] tsaknorris, try this: /join #python [20:52] it works better :) [20:52] khear: err, my bad , sure, its me being lil confused these days ;) === derp is now known as Santorum [20:52] BarkingFish: lol yeah [20:53] hey [20:53] if ubunjtu is so easy to use why are there 1500+ people here? [20:53] asdasd: The helpers have to come from someplace. [20:54] =) [20:54] fdisk -l still returns nothing DasEi1 === Santorum is now known as Smegma === Smegma is now known as derp [20:55] compilerwriter, you need to use "sudo fdisk -l" [20:55] compilerwriter: drive attached , and with run with sudo ?

[20:58] gigenieks: see above, choose in upper right corner [20:58] I had done a /bin/bash and was running as root so I thought the sudo to be superfluous. but I did exit that shell and try "sudo fdisk -l" and still got nothing. Does that mean the computer itself is not recognizing the hard disk is connected to the hard drive? [20:58] DasEi1: I tried. [20:58] that [20:58] is there a way to have a folder show all sub-folders by default so that I don't haveto ctrl+h each time I open my home folder? [20:58] compilerwriter: seems like [20:59] need help installing x64 flash plugin [20:59] So then my next option is to see if the platter is any good by going to a shop [21:00] xeqache: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2009/12/64bit-flash-ppa/ [21:00] compilerwriter: how many drives does the box have ? just one internal and the external ?

[21:04] JosephRuby, in any nautilus window, go to Edit -> Preferences, then check "Show hidden and backup files" [21:04] or just press Ctrl+H [21:04] cyphase, yes that is what I mean [21:06] racho, he doesn't want to have to do it every time [21:06] cyphase, ty that worked. [21:06] Currently DasEi1 the box has one hard drive a CD-ROM drive and a usb CD-ROM drive that is currently running a live 11.04 Ubuntu cd. [21:06] JosephRuby, you're welcome :) [21:07] So what now? [21:07] im stuck with that USB issue [21:07] When will Ubuntu support Gnome 3? [21:07] If cant get it fixed I would need to reformat Xubuntu to XP... [21:07] compilerwriter: so you'll probably want to mount /dev/sda1 === skyball_ is now known as skyball [21:08] !netsplit [21:08] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other.

[21:13] and like I said, i get some app crash reports, but very infrequently and nothing "show stopper" [21:13] I would assume I mean I had eclipse working yesterday [21:13] deadpool: it means that the (correct version of xulrunner) is not installed [21:13] dweez but it will be when the stable of 11.10 comes out?

[22:03] Scunizi: read bryanl's post [22:03] http://techreport.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=74228 [22:03] I've tested the connection with my laptop, and it works [22:03] and I've been promised that before installing ubuntu on the machine, the machine had connectivity [22:03] KM0201, yea.. something about restarting smb's two underlying systems.. however I don't have samba installed, just smbfs which is suppose to activate LAN shares from what I understand. Where's bryanl's post? I don't see it in the history [22:04] Scunizi: read the link i posted. [22:04] when was Oneiric Ocelot relase date change ?? [22:04] KM0201, ah.. missed the link 'cause it didn't highlight.. sorry 'bout that. [22:05] Scunizi: it was my fault, i meant to put it all on one line [22:05] dr_willis: looks like lubuntu is still on beta 2.. so yeah, they are lagging a bit, but i'll try the live cd in vbox [22:09] is ubuntu the only linux os that easy to update??? [22:10] lol pooltable [22:10] hi, i just made a dualboot with ubuntu two times. 10.04 . i can start up the new one i added. but the one that was already longer time on this computer i dont see in grub. what can i do about that? [22:11] manizzle i just asking here soor if i am new [22:13] ruub - under the Ubuntu you can get to, mount the partition that the other install is on (e.g: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt) then do (sudo update-grub) it should add the original one to the bootloader , make sure you change your partition as necessary for the correct installation. [22:14] okay i try reboot now. thnx brb [22:16] hm.. didnt help :/ [22:17] any idea why a wired ethernet connection (that has been tested and shown to work on a different machine) wouldn't work on a fresh 10.04 install? [22:17] ruub: do you have a current live cd? [22:17] meaby its the problem that i didnt make more partisions. i did just do; instal side by side [22:17] yep i have a livecd [22:18] !grub2 | ruub [22:18] ruub: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [22:18] ruub: follow the "restore grub" instructions [22:18] Can someone help me run CD/DVD creator as root in 10.04? "gksudo nautilus --no-default-window --no-desktop burn:///" isn't working, and it did in older versions... Thanks! [22:18] i never do annything with windows [22:18] tvaldes: why on earth would you rnt hat as root? [22:19] backup purposes. Have to burn files for users that don't even exist on the backup server, only on production server [22:19] and have to preserve permissions [22:20] tvaldes: why not run tar or rsync or something as root, creating an archive and then burn that as a normal user? [22:20] And Gnomebaker won't let me burn DVD's if the directory structure is too deep, even if the 'force' checkbox is checked [22:20] ruub : make sure you know what partition your other install is on otherwise grub will not be able to detect it. sudo fdisk -l can list your partitions if you don't know. [22:20] des francais ici ?!!! [22:20] i didnt make more partisions [22:20] tvaldes, the correct command would be "gksudo nautilus --no-desktop burn:///" [22:20] i just did side by side [22:20] !fr | Bokator [22:20] Bokator: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [22:20] pas de francais ? [22:21] THe tar would be larger than 4Gb, which isnt allowed by the DVD format (joliet I think?) [22:21] ruub - if you did side by side, more partitions were still created, they were just created automatically. [22:21] okay [22:21] the one you gave before was this one i use now then [22:22] what can i try? [22:22] What about a format that supports multi-part archives, and what about something like par2 that can include redundancy info because you're storing it on a potentially lossy channel (DVDs) [22:22] glebihan: "gksudo nautilus --no-desktop burn:///" didn't work. Neither does "gksudo nautilus burn:///" [22:22] ruub: so you've already tried using boot repair? [22:22] * musl digresses [22:22] ruub - I am not understanding what you're asking. [22:22] tvaldes, try using tar.7z if you can, it perserves permisions and supports spliting the archive up [22:22] there was something i did before rebooting [22:22] uhm [22:23] it was uhm a way to mount uhm [22:23] the partision [22:23] 1st... did you install an actual dual boot, or did you install with Wubi (install ubuntu inside windows) [22:23] no [22:23] bombadil_rocks: Alright, I guess archiving will be the way to go then. Thanks! [22:23] i hate windows [22:23] ruub: ok, so boot the live CD, then come back here. [22:23] tvaldes: Check out PAR2. It may save your arse. [22:23] okay [22:23] bombadil_rocks: tar supports permission preservations === arch_heathen is now known as eiriksvin [22:25] For some odd reason, i can't run executables from the shell. It's made executable, it's in the right folder, it's written the correct way (i completed it with tab), but it's complaining that it can't find the file or directory [22:25] try ./executable name === Tanner_ is now known as Pilif12p_ [22:26] that's exactly what i'm trying bombadil_rocks, and exactly what's complaining that it can't find the file [22:26] odd thing is, i can run chmod on the file just fine and i'm running it under my own user [22:26] s3r3n1t7: Do you own it? [22:26] qin, yup [22:26] s3r3n1t7: ls -all on that dir please [22:26] musl: Thanks, I'll check it out === rubentje is now known as Ruub [22:27] how do i change the window menu in unity from the top of the screen to inside each window??? [22:27] now here from my netbook [22:27] iceroot, http://paste.ubuntu.com/701964/ [22:28] Ruub: now, open a terminal on that machine and type sudo apt-get install boot-repair [22:28] its still bussy starting up the livecd [22:28] Ruub: oh ok. [22:29] s3r3n1t7, try installing the "lsb-core" package [22:30] glebihan, will try, hold on ... [22:30] glebihan, that worked, thanks! [22:30] Can anybody give me a hand? I've got no sound coming out of my Ubuntu box. When I run 'lspci -v | grep "Audio device"' I see imgur.com/0sJMa although I can clearly see a device in my sound preferences http://imgur.com/aCw2u. I do see some information about my sound device - paste.ubuntu.com/701853/ Any suggestions? [22:31] s3r3n1t7, you're welcome [22:31] !sound [22:31] If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.

I was looking for an application with which we can select the clock frequenccy or clock speed of processor(s) on the desktop. Can anybody comment? [22:32] Corey: I've seen the community sound troubleshooting before and can get to step six. I know that this sound card works because it worked when this machine had windows on it.

[22:40] Ruub: do a search in synaptic for "boot-repair" (after you reload of course) [22:40] i did [22:40] Faris: In general, ssh is not sreaming protocol, vlc comes with streaming server. [22:40] found nothing [22:41] Hi, I need help!!!!! I think I just removed myself from sudoers using usermod -G. I was trying to add myself to vboxusers, but now I'm not allowed to sudo or su.

Check vbox's site for instructions on doing that or converting the file [22:54] Islam: that question makes no sense [22:54] I try to look at the site but that alone does not do anything [22:55] how do i change the the menus in unity from the global application menu to inside each window?? [22:55] when you open the files and folders from the launcher it showes the recent opened files, how do I stop it [22:55] Islam: By real effort I got you likewise: Disable recent files, so: http://ubuntuguide.net/clear-and-disable-recent-documents-list-on-ubuntu-gnome [22:55] or thanks alot ActionParsnip ;) [22:56] gr33n7007h: http://www.khattam.info/howto-video-wallpaper-on-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx-2010-02-15.html [22:56] hi [22:56] thanx qin but thats now what I have [22:56] I need to clear my grub list on my ubuntu installed on the external hard drive [22:57] I've ubuntu 11.04 [22:57] cheers man thanks for that ;P [22:57] because it shows the other operating systems on the internal hard drive [22:58] I remember I knew there was a specific command for it on terminal, anyone can help?

[23:00] Islam: Welcome, buddy. [23:00] atdprhs: usually external drives have a drive id like sda or sdb whereas your internal drives are named hda, hdb and hdc [23:01] atdprhs: if youare new to this, why not remove external drives when you are naming partitions ? [23:01] yes q0rs, but i want the grub loader on that external drive to only have the OS in it [23:02] atdprhs: you can connect an external drive and see its name or drive id [23:02] I installed ubuntu on that external hard drive and already using it now from that external hard drive [23:02] I'm having trouble with K3b in Ubuntu 10.04. I get the error: k3b did not find any optical device in your system. Solution: Make sure HAL daemon is running, it is used by K3b for finding devices. Running lshal shows the burner... Any ideas? [23:03] but I don't want that ubuntu on that external hard drive to see other operating systems on the other machine [23:03] atdprhs: do you want to install the bootloader on an external drive and os files on your internal hard drive? [23:04] no [23:04] when I installed ubuntu on that External HDD, it loaded and identified the other OS on the internal HDD [23:05] my problem is that if I used that E. HDD on another computer, it will ask me to choose between the operating systems which are already not installed on that other machine [23:05] So I don't need the other OS on that E.
