[00:00] How do I set zfs_arc_max on Ubuntu, with the ZFS Native module?? [00:00] jrib, thanks for the tip! [00:00] CIAO [00:00] zromayn it keeps binary config files. It likes SIGHUP to tell it to reread its configs. [00:01] catcher: you might try #bash for other suggestions [00:01] tlambert: in other words, there's no need to restart the service? [00:01] jrib, good call [00:02] zromayn think about how it has to remember leases it has already granted. BTW, you will want to explicitly release and renew the lease on the client machine you are experimenting on to flush that out,. [00:03] I set Ubuntu's mouse cursor theme to dark, but the main (arrow) cursor is still white, while all others are black. How can I fix this? [00:03] zromayn basically if it dies and comes back, it can't start granting the same leases that are already granted to new supplicants. [00:04] zromayn so you have to signal it to reread rather than restarting,, and you have to explicitly release and reacquire from the client for the change to take effect for that client === root is now known as Guest91632 [00:04] I have a question for you all. Is there a way to install ubuntu 11.04 on an Western Digital EARS drive and keep the correct sector alignment? [00:05] tlambert: got it [00:05] I realigned the sectors in fdisk (i think it was correctly aligned) but now i go to install and i'm worried that the alignment will well... dealign [00:06] Hey all after installing a new motherboard with new video drivers it seems that I am no longer able to boot into ubuntu nativly when I do I get the black screen and thats it [00:07] I'm trying to get a program to run in wine but it fails to load directx and the winehq people said I need 32bit opengl drivers, how can i figure out how to install those? I have a glxinfo output if that helps [00:07] prothon: Ubuntu's installer uses optimal allignment. [00:07] crash1hd: try booting with nomodeset [00:07] Jordan_U, Ah. I tried the alternate install first and it kind just pooped everywhere. [00:07] nomodeset? [00:07] Jordan_U, Thank you. [00:07] Can someone please help me with my theming problem? [00:07] prothon: "pooped everywhere"? [00:08] i have an ssh server that isnt working. im not knowledgeable to figure it out myself, can anybody help? [00:08] cryptkeper not working properly [00:08] Jordan_U, Any file copying was just abysmal and I kept getting warnings they're not aligned by... well alot. [00:08] hobomo, Is it remote or local? [00:08] local === Guest70459 is now known as Eng-Rosey [00:09] nibalizer, I am on my laptop next to my ubuntu machine and I am at the prompt to choose which version of ubuntu to go into 11.04, kernel 2.6.39-0-generic or recovery or 2.6.38-9-generec or recover how do I boot into nomodeset [00:09] tlambert: when you stated that the option goes in the scope, are you referring to the subnet section, for instance subnet 1.1.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 1.1.1.1 1.1.1.3; ddns-update-style interim; [00:09] prothon: The alternate installer uses optimal allignment as well. On modern drives aligning to the "cylinder" is far from optimal as cylinders from CHS values are basically a fiction. [00:09] hobomo, did you change the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file at all? Like disallow text login. [00:09] prothon: Where were you seeing errors about alignment? [00:10] Jordan_U, Besides noticeable speed decrease (these are 2TB drives) I saw the errors in disk utility [00:10] prothon, nope i havent changed sshd_config at all [00:10] prothon: What error specifically? Did you use automatic partitioning with the alternate installer? [00:10] how do I restart apache server? [00:10] Jordan_U, Manual config of the partitions. I think that's what made it poop [00:10] I'm trying to get a program to run in wine but it fails to load directx and the winehq people said I need 32bit opengl drivers, how can i figure out how to install those? I have a glxinfo output if that helps [00:11] hobomo, my guess is you'll need to restart the sshd service [00:11] prothon, i should say that my server worked perfectly, but i moved to a new place and am now using a different router. thats the only thing that has changed. [00:11] hobomo, sudo service ssh restart [00:11] hobomo, are you trying to get in it from the outside in or local? [00:12] prothon: So you're now aligning to MiB boundaries? [00:12] how do I restart apache server? [00:12] prothon, local. im using all 192.168.2.X addresses [00:12] indrajeet, sudo service apache restart [00:13] hobomo, that's strange. Within a local subnet you shouldn't have many issues. Any segmintation or vlans? [00:13] prothon, i restarted, but it still gives me a 'no route to host' error. [00:13] prothon, i dont even know what those mean, so i guess not. [00:13] Jordan_U, Honestly, very little [00:14] @ giving this error --apache: unrecognized service [00:14] prothon: Verry little what? [00:14] hobomo, go to local terminal and type ifconfig | grep addr [00:14] Jordan_U, MiB boundaries. [00:14] indrajeet, sudo service httpd restart maybe? [00:14] Code Hackers=Programmers. [00:15] prothon, to get the correct IP? its static for the server [00:15] prothon: You can't be "very little" aligned on MiB boundaries. Your partitions are either aligned on MiB boundaries or not. Which is it? [00:15] hobomo, Basically to see if it's getting any dhcp requests [00:16] I'm trying to get a program to run in wine but it fails to load directx and the winehq people said I need 32bit opengl drivers, how can i figure out how to install those? I have a glxinfo output if that helps [00:16] Jordan_U, I mean i know little of it. I'm RTFMing but I understand that you need to use 4096 ^ x for partitions [00:16] Uhm... I think u have to use winetricks [00:16] To install DirectX [00:16] prothon, what should i be looking at in ifconfig? [00:16] And OpenGL [00:17] hobomo, under ETH0 it should have some kind of ipv4 address. If not, can't route to host. [00:17] prothon: I'm betting that the installer aligned the partitions perfectly well and you are simply misunderstanding an error message you've seen. That's why I'd like to know what the exact error message was. [00:18] @ this command works --sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [00:18] Would reinstalling ubuntu ontop of itself fix my problem? [00:18] Hi all! How do I print a 7 column, week at a glance calendar? [00:18] or cause more problems? [00:18] Jordan_U, Oh, after trying X and Y I've wiped that partition out many times over. I think I just manually partitioned the drives to the wrong boundaries. I've come to realize that. [00:18] prothon, http://paste.ubuntu.com/703681/ [00:19] prothon, anything wrong that you can see? [00:19] hobomo, type "sudo dhclient eth0" [00:19] hobomo, it doesn't have an IPv4 address [00:19] Thunderbird doesn't do it. [00:20] ... although it displays it nicely. [00:21] prothon: I don't think that either Ubiquity (the live installer) or Debian Installer (the "alternate" installer) easily allows you to create unaligned partitions. [00:22] Jordan_U, Stroke of unluck? Maybe I'm tard. Maybe a bit of column A and B [00:23] prothon, heres what i got when i entered the command, http://paste.ubuntu.com/703682/ [00:23] raymer [00:23] trolololo [00:24] hobomo, Ok so 2 things could be happening. DHCP broke on your router or the cable is loose in the back [00:25] prothon, ok so should i try tightening the cable first? [00:25] hobomo, you don't need to "tighten" the cable. Just push it in a bit. See if it's loose. [00:26] prothon, it doesnt seem to be loose [00:27] hobomo, it might be the dhcp server on the router. What kind of router? [00:28] prothon, belkin wireless g plus [00:29] prothon, should i find a model number? [00:29] hobomo, naw, they use pretty much standard firmware [00:30] hobomo, all your other devices work when power cycled? [00:30] hobomo, they all get an ip address? [00:30] I'm trying to get a program to run in wine but it fails to load directx and the winehq people said I need 32bit opengl libraries, how can i figure out how to install those? I have a glxinfo output if that helps [00:30] prothon, yes they all get ip addresses [00:30] they all have internet access [00:30] hobomo, very strange. Suggest to you is make a static IP. [00:31] you mean have the router assign static IPs to my devices? [00:31] hobomo, I don't know the syntax for the .conf file off the top of my head but i bet you someone else around here would. *also have to go for about 10 minutes* [00:31] hobomo, no you asign the eth0 interface a static. That way it'll arp correctly. [00:32] anyone? [00:32] Hi. I upgraded from 10.04 to 11.04. kinit no longer works. No matter how correctly I type my password, it says password incorrect. Same results whether I'm using heimdal or mit-kerberos. I'm making sure that I'm using the correct krb5.conf. I also synced my date with ntpdate. What else could I be doing wrong? Is kerberos broken in ubuntu 11.04?? [00:32] i dont know anymore what to do, the forwardedport is open, but when i try to connet to it using the public p says connections refused, any help? [00:39] I screwed something up during installation and now I can connect to the internet but I can't resolve hostnames [00:39] how do I rectify this? [00:40] crash1hd: did you figure it out? [00:40] scwizard: change nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf to google public servers: 8.8.8.8 4.4.8.8 [00:40] basically you press e on one of those enties and append nomodeset and press enter [00:41] ach that's the file /etc/resolv.conf [00:41] thx [00:41] nibalizer, no [00:42] what the heck do I put under "search" in resolv.conf? [00:42] so lets say I'm installing a package with a daemon. is there a quick and easy way to get apt *not* to try to automagically start the daemon immediately after installing it? debconf doesn't give me all the configuration options I want to edit before it starts, and I end up having to clean up after the initial start of the daemon because it creates all sorts of databases and things that turn out to be incorrect for my setup [00:42] zemo: Is your service available localy?

[00:47] zemo: You could test forwarding with ssh/telnet. And make sure what no firewall is running. [00:47] dont use debian where packages are meant to be installed and JustWork- got it. thanks for the advice. [00:47] qin: the pc firewall is down like i set it [00:48] * el_seano pokes nibalizer [00:48] qin: but if i telent to public ip on 8001 ill get port refused [00:48] Does Evolution print a 7 column calendar?

[00:59] when I apt-cache search "ssh" the only packages it lists are libssl and openssh-client [00:59] and of course more packages than that exist... [01:00] dsnyders: I do but Ive never used it to print calendars. Id try something ese to print them, the internet doesn't seem to have good reviews [01:00] Has anyone installed zimbra desktop on ubutnu 11.04? [01:01] dsnyders: id suggest lightning, though I dont knw if its any better at printing. maybe importing into google calendar -- i know they have views specifically for printing [01:01] oh that was the magic command I was forgetting, sudo apt-get update [01:02] I typoed it as upgrade and got confuzzled [01:02] Has anyone installed zimbra desktop on ubutnu 11.04?

I might have checked it out to see if tardis was registered ;) [01:08] hey, everybody, speaking of which, happy my-8th anniversary of having a registered nick on freenode. [01:08] FerchoLP: could you apt-get purge, clear your package cache, and re install? [01:12] Has anyone installed zimbra desktop on ubuntu 11.04? [01:12] I just checked on Synaptic and /vmlinuz-2.6.38-11-generic is not included in linux-image-2.6.38-11-generic's installed files, it only includes files on /boot. I'm not sure what script could have put vmlinux in / and point grub2 to that file. Maybe some grub2 script? [01:12] that's why I'm not sure a purge would do the thing. Maybe I have just to edit manually grub.cfg === miketosh is now known as tosh [01:13] FerchoLP: you can use 'dpkg-query -S filename' to see what package is responsible for installing a particular file === tosh is now known as miketosh [01:15] nice, I got linux-image-2.6.38-11-generic: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-11-generic [01:15] but also some results like: kdelibs-data: /usr/share/apps/ksgmltools2/docbook/xsl/params/root.filename.xml [01:15] Hi there [01:15] ¿? wired [01:16] *weird [01:16] FerchoLP: try using the full path of the file, otherwise it will give you every match in its database for whatever string you provide [01:16] Hi.

[01:18] sammy: Minimal is too big sitll [01:18] still* [01:18] you're right. Yes, it turns that those kdelibs-data are always shown in results ¿?? although in the last sentence it says that there was no results with that pattern [01:19] I will just edit grub.cfg, it's not a big deal === Jay is now known as Guest90187 [01:19] I just didn't want to mess with grub2 because it updates itself any time a new kernel is released [01:20] *every time (sorry for my English) [01:20] I'm using gnome, and i disabled the password prompt. how can I re-enable it outside of X? I need it enabled for my home directory to be unencrypted [01:20] thanks [01:20] ok what ever happened to livecd asking you what you wanted to do test live cd install ubuntu ... it just boots into ubuntu now? [01:20] Hi guys... I was using synergy between Xubuntu and Win7... Now I installed XP, and network LAN cable reports like it is unplugged [01:21] I tried everything I could think of. [01:21] surreal7z did you install network drivers on win xp machine? [01:21] iToast: minimal is still too big? what are you basing that off of? [01:22] sure, Lan drivers are installed [01:22] iToast: i see ubuntu documentation that's telling me a minimal server install is 500mb [01:22] sammy: Add lamp and a ssh / ftp server.

[01:23] iToast: the same documentation is telling me installing an ubuntu server with all tasks selected fill 1gb. again, are you guessing, or have you read something/tried and it wasnt enough space? [01:23] what do you see with ipconfig? [01:24] sammy: What about lubuntu? [01:25] Media State ........ Media disconnected [01:25] FerchoLP: you can mark the various kernel images and source packages to hold their version until you want to update them. why wouldnt you want grub? do you have a custom setup that it will overwrite?

I don't know what to say [01:27] iToast: then I suggest you read the wealth of information that is available online about installing ubuntu servers and their requirements, including how much disk space they require. the documentation I found says that you can easily fit what you want in 1gb. google is your friend.

[01:30] I think he should be stripped of +o and I unmuted. [01:30] Asking valid questions is apperently trolling. [01:30] iToast: well, unfortunately, channels on freenode are not democracies. and in my experience, people willing to help and answer questions from strangers don't like being asked questions that can be answerd in many different official sources of documentation. part of using linux is learning to read all the available documentation before asking for help. there's a reason linus said the linux motto is 'do it yourself.' I'm not sure thers anyone you can compl [01:30] You can't ask a question without talking. [01:31] I have a partition that gparted wont resize for some reason, its the only child of an extended partition, taking up too much of the hard drive for me to install ubuntu without changing, any idea why it wont resize?

[02:07] If I owned the box, I'd run the same test with only one ram module in it [02:07] If not, pull them out and cram them back in again. [02:07] Not sure if you have that option [02:07] hey guys, anyone know a good graphical program for playing interactive fiction [02:08] I just got a reply from the ticket, Hello, This means the memory on the server is bad. We will need to schedule some downtime with yourself to replace it. Please let us know when a good time would be to swap out this hardware. [02:08] Steven192923: If it were mine, I'd reseat the memory and clean it up and apply new thermal grease and do another memtest. [02:09] Has anyone installed zimbra desktop on ubutnu 11.04? [02:09] Thanks, but the hardware is not mine, They are just going to replace the ram. [02:10] Steven192923: Yea, that's probably it, I'm just offering other possibilites. [02:10] #anonmex [02:11] Ok Thanks. I will suggest that to them if it continues. [02:12] I appreciate your help! [02:16] Can anyone suggest a software for printing a calendar? Scribus maybe? OoDraw? Inkscape? [02:18] Can someone help me with a hardware issue i encountered when dual booting Ubuntu 11.04 and Windows 7? [02:18] !ask | bakis [02:18] bakis: 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. :-) [02:18] bakis, hardware? ##hardware [02:23] anyone know where i can find details of errors encountered during a package intall? I tried dpkg --configure and it says there was an error.. but I can't find details [02:23] hi all, is there a rolldice gui? I have done sudo apt-get rolldice but is there a gui front? [02:24] or something like it? === patrick is now known as Guest44888 [02:25] quit === cook1es_ is now known as cook1es [02:25] does anyone know of a GUI rpg dice roller? [02:26] Anyone have Unity not load for them recently?

I have a C: drive and a D: drive so i decided to leave my windows stuff alone on my C: drive and boot linux off of my D: drive. I partioned it properly and everything, but now when i try to boot windows it can't even find my C: drive. it only shows my D: drive and my DVD drive. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? [02:29] how do you toggle the nautilis view from tabs to url? [02:29] so, I just apt-get it? [02:29] So instead of it saying home user ... it says /home/user/ ... [02:29] eiriksvin: not sure, dont run ubuntu :) [02:29] I installed Windows 7 and then Ubuntu 11.04, and Grub is so offset on my screen that I can't see any of the options (default generated configuration). How can I fix this? [02:29] im having a small issue with proftpd, i want all users to be able to have full access to files withen my ftp share. I set the umask to 000, folders seem to have 777 for rights, but files are still read only, 755 i think [02:30] eiriksvin: actually yeah.. debian has rolldice in he repo [02:31] yeah, I have rolldice, but I'm looking for a gui dice roller, I don't mind command line, but it looks crappy on screen display in-game [02:32] question about GRUB loading on a external moniter and being offset, does anyone know how to fix it? [02:33] eiriksvin: well maybe the other one http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=107345 [02:33] cbilljones: did you sudo chmod -R 777 /ftp/share ? [02:33] molgan, ALL GRUB DOES IS LOAD THE os [02:33] I know. [02:33] jokn yes, that works as a temp fix, but if a user uploads a new file it is 755, though if they create a dir its 777 [02:33] soo any help? [02:33] but I can not see the full grub menu to make a decision [02:33] molgan, sorry for the caps. === felonious is now known as yo_mama [02:34] thanks checking into it now, heh not to many ppl interested in this type of stuff:) [02:34] eiriksvin: well i have no idea really :) [02:34] the feed of the screen is offset up and to the left, and I can't really see any options. [02:35] cbilljones: I believe there's a part about it in the proftpd manual look up UMASK [02:35] molgan, you running which release? [02:35] maybe I should build a cool dice rolling blend and toss it out there freebee [02:35] jokn ya, i set the umask to 000, which makes the folders 777 instead of 755, but doesnt effect files, just folders [02:35] hey, anyone here know the inner intricacies of Nautilus 3.2 search? [02:36] 11.04 grub, plugged in from a desktop into a tv via vga cable [02:36] yeah i do [02:36] hey all, I used to have a problem with ubuntu 11.04 not supporting switchable graphics on my HP pavillion dv7t-6100. Would that have been fixed in 11.10? [02:36] does anyone know what could cause ssh to have different colors in vim than when I use vim locally? I have 256 colors setup just fine... [02:36] destinydriven: nvidia & intel? [02:36] yes that was patched [02:36] jokn i suppose i could just have all users use the same idea, would be doable in this situation and would solve the permission issues i suppose [02:36] when I try to search outside my home directory in Nautilus, I get nothing. [02:36] SIFTU, ATI and Intel [02:37] bakis, awesome!!!! [02:37] destinydriven: ah ok, well not sure, did you check out hybrid graphics? [02:37] but when I use the "Search for Files" gui, I can search everywhere. [02:37] SIFTU, no I haven't but I will look into it [02:38] shapeshifta: maybe you TERM env variable [02:38] it's showing xterm-256color [02:39] destinydriven: http://linux-hybrid-graphics.blogspot.com/ [02:39] destinydriven: thats the current status [02:39] shapeshifta: via ssh? [02:39] SIFTU, cool, thanks [02:40] SIFTU: yea, im more pevd about it, since i am getting colors, just not the correct ones. more like approximations. [02:41] anyone know where I can find the postinstall script for a package? are they only kept in the package itself after apt-get or dpkg finishes it's processing? i.e. do I need to pull it out of the .deb file in /var/cache/apt? [02:41] thanks for nothin! [02:42] uh, how can I find out if I have KDE? [02:42] what happens when you install ubuntu ontop of itself, what I am wondering is does it delete anything inside /home/user? [02:43] crash1hd: if you don't have a dedicated partition for home, what do you expect¿ [02:43] crash1hd: are you trying to upgrade? === derp is now known as ```````````````` [02:45] trying to see if I can fix an issue with a new motherboard [02:46] eiriksvin, you don't know the desktops? === ```````````````` is now known as derp [02:47] no, I have only used Gnome, tried unity... blah [02:48] In rescue mode, I get mounting /dev/mapper/dm-3_crypt on /target/ failed: invalid argument when running `mount /dev/mapper/dm-3_crypt /target`. Can anyone give me deeper insight into this message? [02:48] eiriksvin, so your question really is can you install kde is this correct if so yes. [02:49] yes [02:49] um hello? [02:49] with 11.04? [02:49] solrac we read you loud and cleare [02:50] lol Hey Um I'm having a problem with the aditional drivers [02:51] urlin2u yes, can I install KDE on 11.04? [02:51] solrac whats your graphics card? NVidia? [02:52] eiriksvin: yes you can [02:52] no the graphics are fine its a bcm4312 wireless card (I even installed firmware-b43-lpphy-installer) [02:53] xangua cool, I'll have to look into it [02:53] eiriksvin, so when you start to mix desktops they can have overlapping apps, and the desktop can be difficult to remove that you have added if you don't like it, personally I would download a kubuntu version of natty and check it out first. With natty being tied to compiz I think you can just install kubuntu but not sure of the consequences overall. [02:53] solrac whats your question [02:53] Why isn't the b43 driver appearing in the Aditional Drivers (jockey-gtk) Application? [02:53] urlin2u well, thanks for that nice bit of info [02:53] !b43 [02:53] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [02:54] solrac, you see tye bot info? [02:54] the* [02:54] hello everyone. Question... I'm trying to boot PPC clients using an LTSP setup on Ubuntu. I have a PowerPC chroot however my clients are not getting through the netboot process. Can someone take a look at this example (at the bottom) DHCP config and tell me what I would need to tweak and/or add to mine to make it work? I'm not sure what I'm missing. [02:55] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPCrossArchSetup [02:55] yes why? [02:55] solrac, check the link. [02:55] thanx for all the help guys... gnight :) [02:55] I already did as told [02:56] solrac, can you be more vague? [02:56] I checked (with and without root) the b43 files are there [02:56] urlin2u multi channel i see... [02:56] I'll try [02:56] fullmetal, yep [02:56] solrac, :D [02:57] the folder /lib/firmware/b43 does exist (with files) but jockey-gtk (Aditional Drivers Application) doesn't read it [02:57] can anyone help me install glibc [02:57] in ubuntu [02:58] i need to install glibc 2.11 [02:58] googling one min.. [02:58] mm... maybe glibc-2.1 package?? [02:58] solrac, read the bots link nowhere is the additional drivers mentioned, not my area but I have never seen that used for those drivers. [02:59] shapeshifta, I was thinking of doing an upgrade of 11.04 to 11.04 to see if it resolves any of my issues but was wondering if its going to delete the home folder and all of the content in there (I am now backing up said folder just incase) [02:59] tux-matt [02:59] try libc6 [02:59] crash1hd: ??? 11.04 to 11.04??? [02:59] bcm43XX are Wireless Card [02:59] crash1hd, 11.04 to 11.04? do you mean 11.10, ask atr #ubuntu+1 for Oneiric [02:59] like sudo apt-get install libc6 [03:00] fullmetal i need to install glibc 2.11 [03:00] it should contain the package glibc2.11-1 [03:00] A guy in Winehq told me, your 32 bit gl libraries are not the same version as your kernel module, go fix that, how do I do what he has said [03:00] if its for development its glibc-2.0-dev [03:00] its a virtual package... [03:00] http://packages.ubuntu.com/en/maverick-updates/glibc-2.11-1 [03:00] i need to for a game [03:01] give it a go... you can always purge it if it is not correct... [03:01] Hey Guyz I've installed ubuntu onto my laptop but it apparently has no support for broadcom 4311 wireless , which is odd becuase when I had previously installed ubuntu in 2008 it had recognized it automatically [03:01] solrac, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [03:01] fullmetal: A guy in Winehq told me, your 32 bit gl libraries are not the same version as your kernel module, go fix that, how do I do what he has said [03:01] Braiam, yes 11.04 to 11.04 [03:01] anyways I have no internet at all besides wireless, i cant access a cable so basically I triedi nstalling drivers for broadcom 43X and it doesn't ever work without internet, am I hopeless with this? [03:01] I am reinstalling ubuntu on top of itself to see if it fixes the issues I have been having [03:01] oderfene, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [03:02] crash1hd, bad idea. [03:02] not sure... what game / program are you trying to port? [03:02] although, I do have STA activated but it doesn't read packets D: (Thats what i'm looking for) and I already done it [03:02] thanks [03:02] I even downloaded the drivers onto my windows and then USB 'd them over to the ubuntu installation, and tried manually installing through the terminal and it still didn't work [03:02] @xistance [03:02] what about x window system how can i get it installed [03:02] oderfene, look at the link. [03:02] both ofline mode and online (Online didn't work as for it didnt support low powe) [03:03] fullmetal: Starcraft II [03:03] crash1hd: im guessing it should have an option to repair or install while keeping home intact. I am not sure though. [03:03] urlin2u: I am, I think I may have tried it before let me see... also I have absolutely no internet besides wireless so I can't use internet on the machine to get packages [03:03] urlin2u: yeah, the apt-get stuff it wont work [03:03] @tuxmatt are you looking to install a windows manager? [03:03] like xfce gnome kde? [03:03] or just change from what you got? [03:04] urlin2u, why is it a bad idea? [03:04] urlin2u: it won't work man [03:04] the game requrements also say i need x window system what do i need to download [03:04] heyyy alll! soo i've got this interesting issue with the video drivers on my ATI Radeon HD 6550M ... whenever i boot it up i get a message saying that the acceleration has failed to initialize ... I've spent a few hours trying to switch in the FGLRX drivers .. to basically no avail I was wondering if anyone happens to have a good solution for getting the graphics acceleration back ..... [03:05] ...without having to reinstall ubuntu 10.04 [03:05] crash1hd, installing over a OS is just not a fix it is a noob act, if there is a repair option that is what thats for, or just back up what you need and reinstall. [03:05] @tuxmat what game are you getting at? [03:05] oil rush [03:05] hmmm [03:05] urlin2u, but there was no repair option that I could see [03:05] you should already have a x windows manager... [03:05] anyone able to get PIL to pip install to a virtual environment with --no-site-packages and able to find the jpeg and png libraries? [03:06] does it come preinstalled [03:06] x11 is running this gui session [03:06] actually, got jpeg working [03:06] but png still isn't [03:06] your using it right now.. [03:06] zip [03:06] with ubuntu 11.04 [03:06] oderfene, without the right tools like a plain ethernet it is sort of a waste of time for the channel, really. Beyond my help other then giving the link. [03:06] this is guilty of off-topic. But where to find qualitifed freelancers to rewrite some English essays? [03:06] I'm confused, will the next generation of Ubuntu run X.org or 'Wayland' -- or both if desired? [03:06] anyone able to get PIL to pip install to a virtual environment with --no-site-packages and able to find the png (zip) library?

[03:07] urlin2u that is hilarious considering our earlier convo [03:07] not @ you, just at the timing [03:07] bump [03:07] urlin2u: thanks youre a polite chap waste of time for the channel aye? I didnt think it's unthinkable to be in this situation with an ubuntu install [03:08] fullmetal you are saying it comes preinstalled with ubuntu x window manager [03:08] fullmetal, you are welcome to project as you like. [03:08] hello everyone. Question... I'm trying to boot PPC clients using an LTSP setup on Ubuntu. I have a PowerPC chroot however my clients are not getting through the netboot process. Can someone take a look at this example (at the bottom) DHCP config and tell me what I would need to tweak and/or add to mine to make it work? I'm not sure what I'm missing. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPCrossArchSetup [03:08] I'm using gdm, and i need to disable automaticlogon, but /etc/gdm/custom.conf does NOT exist. Anyone know where that file is now? [03:08] np [03:08] just not on a proxy connect, dont want to get my IP flagged. ill mind my manners... [03:08] oderfene, what without the basic tools and information all ovewr the web as far as those drivers, do your homework. [03:09] urlin2u I have done the homework infacft I downloaded the drivers myself and USB transferred them onto the machine [03:09] my terminal won't recognize their existance for some reason though, even if I put it on to the desktop and cd Desktop, then try, it still says "directory name doesn't exist" [03:09] @tuxmat yep... gnome, kde, xfce. all window managers... [03:09] @tuxmat have you tried installing play on linux? [03:09] [03:10] has a lot of pre-compiled stuff to use [03:10] karen_m: try running gdmsetup from a terminal, see if that brings up what you need [03:10] urlin2u: or "Cannot open input file" it doesn't make any sense because i see the file right there [03:10] and i run as sudo and cd into desktop [03:11] oderfene have you given what you are trying to execute chmod +x permission? [03:11] fullmetal: no i'll try that thx [03:12] np. most things will not execute from downloads unless you explicitly give them permission... its a safety thing... [03:12] fullmetal so i dont have to worry about anything so x window is preinstalled [03:12] kinda like yelling fire in the hole three times on the fourth of july... [03:12] @tux-matt that correct... [03:12] thats cool [03:13] thanks all [03:13] unless its a old school game with dependency issues/// [03:13] fullmetal: it still says " no such file or directory " even though it's right infront of my eyes, lol [03:13] no look it up it has not even come out yeat [03:13] i typed in chmod x broadcom-wl(blablabla name of file) and it gives me that error [03:13] try sudo chmod +x -Rv /directory name [03:13] no not chmod x [03:13] its as command line directive [03:13] I meant +x [03:13] not just x [03:13] gotcha [03:14] hmmm [03:14] give it a ls -a and throw the line in chat [03:14] *description line for the file [03:15] if you can ls the file it should be there [03:15] Still with the problem of the b43 driver (please not the link of the WifiDocs cause it didnt work at all) [03:15] @solrac have you tried b43-fwcutter? [03:15] fullmetal: OK ill check that BTW it still didnt work saying it cant find it [03:15] just install it from the synaptic package manager. [03:15] yes [03:16] it should ask to fetch and install the firmware [03:16] i did and still [03:16] hmm [03:16] its not being read by jockey-gtk [03:16] then what about ndiswrapper. you can use windows drivers and it in conjunction [03:16] fullmetal: it says : . .. broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5 .directory firefox.desktop thunderbird.desktop [03:17] fullmetal: OH are you not supposed to write .tar.bz2 into the command line? [03:17] What is an open source solution, similar to norton ghost? [03:17] orderfene that is a zipped file [03:17] try [03:17] tar xvf filename [03:17] fullmetal: hold on though the filename has those two markers at the end of it though becuase it's zipped [03:18] yep [03:18] Firefishe: clonezilla? [03:18] I don't have windows T_T It broke up the whole Windows Directory (forcing me back into Linux) [03:18] fullmetal: should I include the .tar.bz2 part in the commandline as well? because the ls -a didn't show that part [03:18] yes you should infact instead of doing all that typing just do [03:18] tar xvf filena(tab) [03:19] it will finish the file name for you [03:19] example :: tar xvf filename.tar.bz2 [03:19] @solrac hell yea [03:19] fullmetal: wow OK it gave me a weird error saying " tar: you may not specify more than one -Acdtrux or ' --test-label' option Try 'tar --help or 'tar --usage for more information, WHAT??? [03:20] what is the file you are trying to extract? [03:20] also it said "cannot read: Is a directory At beginning of tape, quitting now [03:20] @oderfene [03:20] solrac: it's a broadcom driver for my wireless card [03:20] same here bro [03:20] @oderfene what distro? [03:20] I have a directory with Watch.html and watch.html in it, why does ls [Ww]atch.html say no such file or directory? I thought [..] matched either character? [03:20] fullmetal: ubuntu [03:20] kk [03:20] version? [03:21] fullmetal: 10.04 [03:21] maverick / narwhal [03:21] ok your on jaunty jackelope [03:21] fullmetal: or the one before that not 10.04 the one before that [03:21] 9.10? [03:21] which one was the first one to have unity? it was before that 1 [03:21] yea [03:21] intrepid ibex [03:21] ? [03:21] yea [03:21] ok [03:22] Im 11.04 [03:22] Xubuntu [03:22] @solrac you may have additional issues since a lot of the extra packages are not added... [03:23] one min though... im more familiar with orderfene as i had the same issue... but ill get right back to you in a min... [03:23] well I have firmware-b43-lpphy-installer, b43-fwcutter O.o [03:23] oh my apologies then [03:23] ^^" [03:23] no worries... just dont want to confuse the lines... [03:23] @oderfene what have you done so far to try and get your wireless drivers working? [03:24] fullmetal: Oh [03:24] fullmetal: hold on can I PM you I found some instructions that are partway working [03:24] but its stuck at this 1 part which makes not alot of sense [03:24] ok [03:24] pm away... === theSystem is now known as Guest95802 === Guest95802 is now known as f2k83 === f2k83 is now known as bmc6053 [03:29] how can i insure that my graphics card is up to date? [03:30] Automatic update I'd guess. If your using an Nvidia card and their driver, check their site. [03:31] bmc6053, it's intel [03:32] bmc6023, intergrated [03:32] I'd assume a new driver would show up in your updates... I'm just guessing though. I'm sure *someone* who knows will eventually say [03:33] * bmc6053 just started using Ubuntu again today =0\ [03:33] I'm just trying to troubleshoot my slow game issue [03:34] help msg [03:35] Integrated graphics are never the best option for gaming... I've been using freeBSD and have come to rely on nvidia though so I'm not very certain of the graphics capabilities on anything intel. [03:38] bmc6053, even runescape?

[03:39] when I do: cp /green/ /Data/ -r It copies everything to /Data/Green/ how can I get it to just copy to /Data? [03:41] I did a quick search and it looks like intel graphics are just "sub par" ... The forums have a lot of info though supercar_heaven [03:43] can you give the link bmc6053 ?? [03:43] Robbie, try adding ./Data instead of just /Data/ or use a full path (depending on where your copying from) [03:44] bmc6053: i search on torrentz and got some software use for that.. [03:44] how can I execute a javascript function after a views block finishes an ajax call? [03:45] bcm6053, lets say I can't get new gear, how do i beef it up? [03:45] oops wrong chan [03:46] Depends on your video card and bios JasonGriffee, you could check to see if you can oc in the bios.. but really, until Intel releases half way decent drivers...

[03:49] gluonman: you won't find much in common between bash scripting and windows [03:49] ^ [03:50] gluonman: its a theoretical impossibility, because DOS != Bash [03:50] in any way shape or form [03:50] there use to be windows utilities that allow you to just run the shell script... Unix tools by ms? Dunno if they still exist though [03:50] bmc6053: Somewhat, cygwin utils are an option, but are probably OT for this channel [03:51] I need to know how to use a *.RUN file when it says i have to do it outside of X and yet when i tried alt-f2 and running it i get the NO SUCH COMMAND response ? [03:51] th0r, TheEvilPhoenix, yeah, I figured. I wrote this at someone's request, and then found out that they want it to run in Windows. I was thinking maybe Msys or Cygwin would work, but it's complicated. So I hoped maybe I could make a shell somehow. [03:51] true, thx vergil [03:51] gluonman: its not called a "shell" or "shell script" in windows. tis called a batch file. you'd need to look up the Windows coding for batch files [03:52] From what i read ubuntu 11.10 is coming out on the 13th is that correct [03:52] and then write/test on windows [03:52] !11.10 | SetiAmon [03:52] SetiAmon: Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) will be the fifteenth release of Ubuntu.

[06:46] nrdb... i've tryed to reinstall grub with rescue system... [06:46] dai #sed [06:46] bazhang: !sed [06:46] !sed [06:46] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [06:46] ha ha :D [06:48] redhare, I have a windows dual boot here... it works fine... if you ever need to reinstall window it will wipe the Linux partition thou. [06:49] i must say bazhang .. tho .. and nrdb .. this new edition has some nice visual qualities to it's gui .. [06:49] nrdb, that is inacurate info. [06:49] nrdb, thats wrong [06:49] urlin2u, bazhang, it has both times I needed to do it. [06:49] and bazhang , nrdb , i actually got a 55 year old man who NEVER ever .. EVER .. used anything but windows to switch to and trust in linux completely ... [06:49] nedb: it only wipes the mbr, not any other partitions [06:50] nrdb it seems to be the videocard [06:50] he actually prefers ubuntu linux to other distros due to it's kind user settings and easy on the eye gui .. etc [06:50] nrdb, if you use a OEM disc set it wil write the whole drive, thats the only time. [06:51] hi... I am getting a "thunderbird is running" error dialog... but it isn't running!... how do I get thunderbird to work again? [06:51] should i encrypt my home folder ? or will it cause operational dysfunction in certain programs if i do ? and incompatibilities ? [06:52] Any one know how to connect to a server? I just set one up in my house and I'm having difficulty figuring it out [06:52] redhare: You should only do it if you're worried your computer will get stolen. Or if someone might take your harddrive away o-O [06:52] nrdb, install htop use the search function f3 to find the running thunder bird and use f9 the kill it [06:52] to* [06:52] well .. quetzal .. i do some rather questionable computing actions ... but truth be told .. those who would be looking at my directories would most likely crack the encryption lol [06:53] other than that quetzal there are no others who could or would be able to get near my pc without me knowing .. lol [06:53] Then do not use weak passwords? o_O [06:53] anyone? [06:53] one last question for the moment .. [06:53] Heck, I can't think how anyone can even break encryption anyway... [06:54] Unless they got a butt load of time to spend. [06:54] err nm [06:54] well [06:54] imagine a room full of the amoeba joined processor power setup .. [06:54] err [06:55] Huh? You're really not making sense to me. :S [06:55] urlin2u, but it isn't ... ps -A | grep thunderbird - ... returns nothing. [06:55] imagine a room full of the amoeba joined processor power setup computers to work together .. maybe 100 or more laptops/desktops/terminals etc .. the processing power combined could do the job yes ? [06:55] amoeba .. it's an OLDDDDD program ... [06:56] umm .. u know the PS3 program where u can donate it's processing power ? that's what i'm referring to or a pumped up version of the old amoeba [06:56] anyhow quetzal .. i'm sorry but i'm OT and i didn't mean to be [06:56] nrdb, not sure if that command will show a zombie. [06:57] urlin2u, htop dosn't find it ether. [06:57] I do not buy into rumors, and it would take geezers quite some time to break into a good encrypted syste,. [06:57] Well, if anything, that's better than no encryption anyway. [06:57] nrdb, not sure myself than. [06:57] If you're that worried, then by all means. Use it. [06:58] technically .. it would be easier just to install a firestorm safety system where misguessed pwds equals no hard drive data ;) [06:58] right ? [06:58] Quetzal, I heard that CIA tried to break a truecrypt encryption for 2 years and failed. [06:59] hmm truecrypt ? [06:59] I'm not familiar with that software. If that is convenient, and efficient for you. Then use it. [06:59] * sorak likes security [06:59] nrdb , quetzal , bazhang . Does anyone here remember Symantec Norton Secret ? [06:59] nrdb: Good, they shouldn't be hopping into everyone's privacy. [06:59] redhare, no [06:59] Nope. [07:00] cia or any other government couldn't crack it [07:00] Any of you guys know anything about servers?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [07:00] thevinci: try #ubuntu-server [07:00] it was a way to keep their proprietery stuff secret lol [07:00] lets get back on topic please [07:00] Quetzal, there worried about more sites using https: all the time. [07:00] yes sir [07:00] sorry baz [07:00] trying there too, no one really replying [07:01] thevinci ; what's ur question ? [07:01] nrdb: Yea, offcourse, because computer users are slowly becoming smarter. So it will not be easy snoopying for them. [07:01] I'm trying to connect to an ftp server I'm setting up in my home. I installed ubuntu server 10.04 then installed vsftpd [07:01] I haven't changed any of the config files [07:02] i put some music in a folder, and now i want to see if I can get to it from my laptop [07:02] are u using port 21 and u must also use the login and password for that system [07:02] thevinci, can you connect from the server ? i.e. using localhost? [07:02] thevinci: Ensure you've added user accounts and such. Port numbers that uses FTP must be opened. [07:03] nrdb: I'm not sure what you mean. [07:03] personally if you want to access that music and BROWSE the server you should setup a remote connection or remote control session you can access on that server allowing you to use it as if you were on it at home :) [07:04] redhare: I'm super new to servers, I've been reading a crapload of stuff in forums and ubuntu.com, but I'm having trouble grasping it all. [07:05] thevinci : try using the regular version of ubuntu and immerse yourself in it and look for programs that can allow you to remotely access the desktop from anywhere .. [07:05] nrdb: I'm logged in to the server and on the command line for it, but I don't know how to get at it from my laptop [07:05] there are TONS of programs and web services out there for this .. [07:05] thevinci, start a terminal on the server, and try to connect to the ftp server from there. [07:06] thevinci : try using your lan at home first tho .. note to yourself that this will take a WEEK minimum to become a basic ubuntu user [07:06] eh, I've been using ubuntu for a few years now [07:06] really wanted to give the server thing a crack [07:07] i've used samba for sharing with other laptops and such [07:07] OK this is a really odd one. I have 2 machines say PC1 and PC2 I am on PC1(windows) and I ping PC2(windows) I dont get any dropped pings yet when I boot PC2 into ubuntu and do the same I get random requst timed out [07:07] the goal for the server here is to be a media center for our house. we have a few windows users, myself on ubuntu, and an xbox 360 we would like to stream to [07:08] well the only DIFFERENCE i noticed with ubuntu server and ubuntu regular .. are . that ubuntu server is CLI and has a little less data usage on the hard drive and a little less cpu and ram usage .. so go ahead and install the GUI version for the server edition [07:08] in fact .. bazhang .. what is the command for installing the X server and gui when you don't have it on ubuntu server edition ? [07:08] i'm guessing it's " sudo apt-get install gdm " ? [07:08] redhare: kernel is different [07:09] and why would you mess server with gui anyway [07:09] thevinci, from a terminal on the server..try "ftp localhost"... what do you get? [07:09] th_ how is it ? [07:09] tuned for server performance [07:09] redhare, the full suite? ubuntu-desktop or other -desktop package [07:09] just the desktop package for thevinci : so he can use the gui for what he cannot comprehend in the cli client or server client [07:10] nrdb: "Connected to localhost. 500OOPS: vsftpd: both local and anonymous access disabled!" [07:10] that could be a problem... lol [07:11] thevinci .. good luck sir .. i gotta go to work .. and as for the rest of the crew i've chatted with here trying to help me solve the sound issues .. thank you so much ... but i gotta head to work .. so i'm afk ;) laters guys [07:12] thevinci, looks like it.. config problem most likely... until you can do basic stuff on localhost no point trying remotely. [07:13] nrdb: I just edited my config file to allow anonymous [07:13] thevinci, can you connect now? [07:14] nrdb: when I ran ftp localhost this time I got 'Connected to localhost. 220 (vsFTPd 2.2.2) Name (localhost:burlygoat):' === tfilipczuk is now known as makak [07:15] nrdb: now my cursor is blinking after 'Name (localhost:burlygoat):' [07:15] thevinci, its asking for a name and password. [07:15] thevinci, I think [07:17] nrdb: hmmm, I haven't set any up, and when I type anything and press enter it says '530 this ftp server is anonymous only' [07:17] thevinci, try just [07:17] same thing [07:18] thevinci, try "anonymous" [07:18] thevinci, try "anonymous" or "guest" [07:18] YES! that worked [07:19] and password was nothing [07:19] you guys never sleep? [07:19] now it says '230 login succesful. remote system type is UNIX. Using binary mode to transfer files' [07:19] hello everybody [07:20] someone awake?

[07:50] just giving you an information about any changes from the previous state [07:50] Toneshifter: 10.04 and 11.04 are quite a large kernel version jump, using the same external kernel modules (I assume that's what you mean by broadcom drivers) may not be compatible with the newer kernel. You may need a different version, [07:51] Toneshifter: or if you are using a later version of the broadcom modules, they may no longer support your card version [07:51] Toneshifter: those are the two directions I would investigate first. [07:52] Toneshifter: if the modul loads, have a look if the firmware is missing [07:52] Gruber both 10.04 and 11.04 found and required a broadcom modules. bcmwl-kernel-source [07:52] or if the firmware needs to be different from the later kernel === aasfsdf is now known as GirlyGirl [07:52] Toneshifter: post a full dmesg into a pastebin [07:52] Toneshifter: doesn't mean it fully supports your card [07:53] Gruber, that same module worked with 10.04 with no problems at all so i gues it does === joe75_ is now known as joe75 === Mud is now known as Guest72657 [07:55] fritsch http://pastebin.com/KNb7RXae === mobyDICK is now known as umadbro [07:56] Toneshifter: is this a pcmcia card?

[08:08] ubuntu__: to [08:08] no [08:08] its gary [08:08] ubuntu__: that's the issue then [08:08] its not asking me for a user like putty does [08:08] ubuntu__: unless you use a username, it will use your current username [08:08] ubuntu__: ssh on linux is different than putty [08:08] how can i list install applications? [08:09] Gruber, ok :) thanks [08:09] datalay: dpkg -l | less [08:09] ubuntu__: do either "ssh username@hostname" or "ssh -l username hostname" [08:09] Gruber, right got it :) it is working now [08:09] there we go [08:10] how can i remove an applications with no-deps [08:10] Is anybody here who uses scanner on Epson TX650?

[08:11] ubuntu__: you can have multiple connections to the same host, with the same user name [08:11] fritsch, not sure but it keeps kicking me out saying that its loosing connection [08:11] oha [08:12] thus why I am trying it from an ubuntu live cd to see if it was a hardware issue or just winblows [08:12] i think your router is to blame [08:12] ajah: you should consult the Advanced Bash Scripting guide at the linux documetation project (tldp.org) [08:12] fritsch, but again same router same connection different os [08:13] Gruber, how do I connect if the private key is name garysmachine and not id_rsa?

[09:06] the gnome3 PPA will update some core libraries, that you won't be able to resolve [09:06] hmmmm. thats sad. was looking forward to gnome3, and have now messed up my system [09:07] apart from that, is there a safe way to install the ati drivers on ubuntu?

What I'm unclear about is how to get the 8.04 build dependencies on the 10.04 machine.

[09:23] theozaurus: how many packages do you need? [09:24] theozaurus: if you do it on 8.0.4 you geth them [09:24] theozaurus: for 10 you are right of course [09:24] Hey all based on this website http://www.muktware.com/man/1060 when I boot into live cd it should be taking me into unity yet when I boot into livecd I get the ubuntu classic? How do I fix that? [09:24] Fritsch: How would I do it from a 10 machine? [09:25] theozaurus: you could add src sources for the old version [09:25] ubuntu__: you need 3d for unity, if your 3d driver is non-free, the live-cd doesnt contain it and will boot gnome2 instead [09:25] theozaurus: and fetch apt-get source with this special version [09:25] theozaurus: apt-get source erlangPackage=1.0.x.y [09:25] iceroot, ok thanks but when you say non-free, I dont seem to have to pay for the driver but I do have to add it after [09:26] theozaurus: what erlang packages do you have installed? [09:26] iceroot, is that what you mean by non-free [09:26] ubuntu__: free as in free speech not as in free beer [09:26] fritsch: Okay, I guess if I setup the pinnings correctly then I will not end up with more packages from 8 on 10 than I need === [Shell-Storm]NK` is now known as NK` [09:26] iceroot, so if I wanted to be able to see the unity desktop then I would have to create a custom live cd then? [09:26] theozaurus: i hope so [09:26] iceroot, with the 3D Drivers on it [09:26] ubuntu__: no, install the driver and restart your x-server [09:26] is there a way to do it without messing around with apt and the sources file? [09:27] theozaurus: before rebuilding, you could also add the lucid binary sources [09:27] !nvidia | ubuntu__ [09:27] ubuntu__: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [09:27] theozaurus: and install the mdirectly [09:27] iceroot, ok how do I restart x-server? [09:27] ubuntu__: sudo service gdm restart [09:27] iceroot, thanks :) [09:27] ubuntu__: have a look at the link from ubottu [09:27] theozaurus: meaning add: deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid main restricted universe multiverse [09:27] fritsch: I believe I need, erlang-base, erlang-dev and erlang-nox [09:28] theozaurus: apt-get update && apt-get install erlang-base=1.0.x.y [09:28] theozaurus: replacing 1.0.x.y with the version you need [09:28] iceroot, will do for sure :) thank you [09:28] ideally I want to rebuild it on 10 so it is native for 10, then use the PPA to setup future servers [09:28] iceroot, do you know why the got rid of the old boot screen for livecd? [09:29] ubuntu__: dont know, dont using splash-screens [09:29] theozaurus: okay, so just get the 8.04 sources, buildpackages, bump your version number, that it is bigger than the 10 version [09:29] theozaurus: i would rather fix the current erlang version [09:29] theozaurus: do you have an error mesage, what happens, if you run your software on the 10 version? [09:29] fritsch: Sadly it isn't that simple [09:30] iceroot, no the screen you see when you first put in the livecd asking if you want to install or try seems to have been moved to after the desktop starts [09:30] theozaurus: erlang is rather old, so if 10 version is not working anymore, this is a big problem [09:30] fritsch: The code does not compile with a newer version of Erlang, and while updates exist for to correct this. These updates break other things [09:30] ubuntu__: dont using normal ubuntu-cds for installation :) [09:31] theozaurus: so the ubuntu erlang version is broken? [09:31] fritsch: Not at all, we are forced to run an old version of ejabberd, and an old version of ejabberd is not compatible with Erlang R13 [09:31] theozaurus: http://www.erlang-solutions.com/section/72/packages <- did you have a look here [09:31] iceroot, ok no problem just was curios thanks all the same :) [09:31] theozaurus: oha, okay [09:32] theozaurus: no chance of porting? [09:32] fritsch: No [09:32] theozaurus: okay, than there is no other solution, just messing up :-) [09:33] theozaurus: let me have a look of the build depends [09:33] ubuntu__: you are welcome [09:33] fritsch: TBH, I haven't had a change to go through the build deps, I spent a lot of time yesterday on pbuilder - but I was on a 64bit machine, and need to compile for a 32bit one. [09:34] fritsch: However pbuilder didn't seem to setup the tool chain correctly for i386 [09:34] theozaurus: hardy uses erlang 11, correct? [09:34] yes [09:34] theozaurus: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/erlang-base you could get the orig pacakges here and the deb diff [09:35] theozaurus: and try to build :-) [09:35] theozaurus: the build dependencies are rather minimal, i see here [09:35] theozaurus: just get the tar.gz the diff.gz and build locally [09:35] theozaurus: if this is gonny working on 10.04 [09:35] theozaurus: i would go the next step using pbuilder [09:36] fritsch: I wish I could of got pbuilder working!

I'd like to use an Intel/AMD server and PowerPC (old Mac) systems as the clients. I have the PPC chroot and DHCP set up.

[12:30] jason___, are there any other dhcp servers in the network? [12:30] never ever run a script someone gives you that involves touching your /etc/passwd unless you know precisely what it's doing and why. even if you do know, it's stupid. [12:30] profservers: no. this is a secluded network. nobody else on it except my test environment. [12:31] nice advice [12:31] jason___, how do the machines gather ip addresses? Isn't there a router or something? [12:31] profservers: I can see the DHCP lease entry in the server when it hands out the IP. The system just has no idea what to do with the IP. It should know to pull up /opt/ltsp/powerpc as the chroot, but it does not, which is a failure @ TFTP. [12:31] profservers: this is just on a switch. No router. Static IP to the server.

[13:25] dont' see why it would be disabled [13:25] works fine in windows when i had it installed [13:25] anybody know how i can bring up "messages" indicator? i removed it but now i want it back -,- [13:25] Guest74011: no should make things nice. [13:25] by *it* i mean windows [13:25] there are indicator-me for me menu, are there any indicator for messages? [13:26] matlock: maybe there is a bug with the kernel and the modem. What make and model is the laptop? [13:26] asus M70vm-x1 [13:26] Guest74011: the xorg.conf file is quite complex, you'll find samples and guides online [13:26] and iv'e noticed there are a few problems with the various releases and this specific laptop. [13:27] so i wouldn't rule that out [13:27] ActionParsnip: Ah, so maybe it's something I shouldn't mess with then?

[13:29] ActionParsnip: Is this where I start? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [13:29] and what would i report? [13:29] matlock: report the modem isn't detected, as you can see from lspci output [13:31] matlock: type dmesg and search for any failure reports [13:31] dmesg |grep failure reports nothing [13:32] try grep fail instead [13:32] matlock: Hmm sorry can't think of anything ... you have to file a bug report [13:33] i think most times it will say failed, and not failure [13:33] so... what package would i report? [13:33] matlock: "sudo modprobe snd-intel8x0m" any output? if no output, pastebin "dmesg | tail -10" pls [13:34] ok here's what comes from dmesg |grep failed [13:34] http://paste.ubuntu.com/703961/ [13:34] ActionParsnip: If I just reinstall with the monitor attached, will I then have the missing resolution?

So some python program seems to fail or something. I'll check bashrc [14:11] ActionParsnip: Can I make this location auto-mount^ [14:12] steven__: you can add it in /etc/fstab to mount as a local folder, or you can use gvfs-mount to tell it to mount ('ve not use gvfs-mount but know it can be used) [14:12] Ok will try that, many thanks :) [14:15] for those of you, that make the same mistake I did....

You should read about them first where you type that command matters http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link [15:50] zebulon: sure [15:50] zebulon: i used gparted, but did it overight, it takes several hours [15:50] overnight* [15:50] DustyMonk: zebulon It takes several hours on a really big drive that is full if you're doing something like 'move' [15:50] DustyMonk: things like delete and shrink are near instant [15:50] ed - i had a fully licensed version of windows 7 on that partition [15:51] zebulon: ok? [15:51] edbian: i did it without dataloss [15:51] ed - i installed ubuntu only to discover the dualboot loader not recognising the win7 OS at all [15:51] DustyMonk: great :) [15:51] ed - no big deal, losing that OS... i'm enjoying linux more anyway ^^ [15:51] zebulon: sudo update-grub usually fixes stuff [15:51] Who said we are deleting windows??

[15:58] I have an old 6.06 system I am trying to udpate but none of my repositories work. How do I figure out what needs to be in sources.list ? [15:58] if its .gz - gunzip [15:58] if its .zip - unzip [15:58] I think [15:59] heres another question .. is there any way to actively run my ubuntu installation within a windows os? [15:59] vmware? [15:59] kind of like virtual boxing the primary OS [15:59] delinquentme: yes, virtualization [15:59] that would work? [16:00] delinquentme: you cannot virtualize the host OS [16:00] like you can select the primary [16:00] delinquentme: Why not run linux and virtualize windows ? [16:00] host OS ... being? [16:00] delinquentme: no you can't virtualize the primary OS [16:00] edbian: im fixing ubuntu [16:00] thats what I do "virtualbox" If I need it [16:00] delinquentme: I'm not sure what the heck you're asking [16:00] delinquentme: if yo uwant to run linux inside windows whilst using windows, you need to virtualize Linux, and that's all you can do [16:00] wait, what/ [16:01] thing is delinquentme -- it runs completely separately -- if you need to share files between the OS s on the same machine you need to network it ... or transfer between volumes [16:01] % [16:01] TheEvilPhoenix: the primary OS being the one which is invoked on boot .. which if im getting GRUB when i boot .. its linux ... and that cant be mounted [16:01] delinquentme: then you're SOL [16:01] delinquentme: Here is how virtualization works. You have 2 OS's one is host (actually installed) one is guest (in the vm). You get to pick both. [16:01] there's no way to "virtualize" a partition [16:01] its not like they share a desktop ... (although cut and paste will work within / wihtout virtualbox) [16:01] edbian: we're off that now [16:01] "virtualbox" delinquentme [16:01] interesting article about symlinks, but I just noticed the easy answer would have been right-click 'make link' [16:01] so thanks [16:01] is in synaptic [16:02] yeah im familar with it ... but its not going to work here [16:02] thanks though [16:02] ln target linkname shatters [16:02] rhin0: he left :( [16:03] Any kernel DRM folks here?

[17:10] dmtarmey: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1467387.html <- seems to be a discussion of someone with your configuration with no sound [17:11] kitche2: wep key, yes. When I enter it, it goes online but it asks again next time I reboot the computer. Possibly related to my second question above? [17:11] ssh-keygen is the command to set up the ssh (is that keyring?) password Deddly [17:11] ah [17:12] rhin0 cheers im trying it now [17:12] Deddly: it's just not saving the key === Rare is now known as Ahlo [17:12] right click on the wireless icon on the desktop Deddly then click on manage connections [17:12] how can I pypass the mount folder through terminal, so I can reach my folders without it [17:13] ok im going [17:15] Islam: what do u mean? the folder is where your files are mounted at [17:15] yes [17:15] as you see here /media/01CB63DB15FC1220/Songs/ [17:15] anyone able to get PIL to pip install to a virtual environment with --no-site-packages AND able to find the png (zip) library? [17:16] so you can't bypass it just do cd [17:16] its now shown before opening it through the browser [17:16] Islam: you could create a link from that folder to your home folder. And you know you can just enter /media/0 and then hit tab to complete [17:17] Is it possible to share a folder publicly on Ubuntu 1? [17:17] hello everyone [17:17] Hello [17:17] hi sileni [17:17] I'm running Natty on a lenovo T420 [17:18] i beleive after some ubuntu updates.. a problem started to happen [17:18] Randomly my keyboard will stop to work [17:18] rhin0, where it says mount --bind /home/users /export/users is /home/users the directory it would be sharing? [17:18] kitche2 and rhin0: Thanks for the information, looks like I need to reset that password, but it's strange because I have never had to use the keyring for this before [17:18] mouse is still movable but clicking and so on does not occur [17:18] sileni: does it start again? [17:18] Bash in Natty let's me spawn root shell with euid 0 and uid 1000. This isn't supposed to happen right? [17:18] ActionParsnip: what do you mean does it start again? [17:18] rhin0: Please could you give me that command again for resetting the password for the keyring? [17:18] sileni: well, you said the keyboard stops working, does it start working again [17:18] that was for ssh [17:18] ssh-keygen [17:19] ActionParsnip: I'm not able to recreate the bug, but it has happened many times [17:19] ActionParsnip: no i have to hard reset [17:19] crackerjackz: just a minute [17:19] sileni: ok, can you press CTRL+ALT+F1 when it stops working? [17:19] ActionParsnip: computer was working fine until two or three days [17:19] rhin0, okay [17:19] ActionParsnip: i have ... it doesn't work [17:19] ActionParsnip: i tried CTRL + ALT+F* === rickup is now known as rickup_afk [17:20] how do I install yum on ubuntu?

[17:24] rhin0, nah. i think it just auto mounts when i click on places and 181 gb filesystem [17:24] rhin0, not sure where it mounts to though [17:25] sileni: is there a hardware switch to enable / disable the keyboard? [17:25] ActionParsnip: no [17:25] oops i mean no i did not manually set up fstab, i think it just auto mounts its self when i click on places / 181 gb file system [17:25] I was proudly saying Ubuntu is plug N play until I got shocked to see Ubuntu 11.04 has the setting for Huawei 1550 modem with BSNL oprator India but can not connect whereas it gets connected easily in Windows!!!

[17:48] By "power in graphics" rhin0 means 3D acceleartion support [17:48] or you need proprietary drivers to be loaded to enable it to work - proprietary for your graphics card from your graphics card vendor site [17:48] Islam: lolwut? You mean change a directory? "cd /wherever" [17:48] ambuj not what I meant, what is the program you are trying to install?

You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [17:49] Islam: This will just mount it [17:49] even that freezes on my inspiron m5010 (dell) [17:50] aha, so its easier to open it first [17:50] nocilis : its package fro apache , php and mysql [17:50] isnt there any way to bypass that mount thing on terminal ?

[17:50] Islam: Well, fstab? [17:50] and whats the use of it any wat [17:50] ambuj if you have problems you probably need to run as root [17:50] crackerjackz: sudo mount 192.168.1.69:/mountdirectory /mounttodirectory -o rsize=32768,wsize=32768,intr,noatime <- these options at the end of your mount command (when you get it working) will speed the NFS up - otherwise it can be deathly slow (did you mean to do that from the server machine) i'm at the part where i have to edit /etc/exports [17:50] way* [17:50] kk [17:51] whats fstab ? [17:51] Islam: "mount" basically means "assign a folder to a device".

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [17:51] ambuj high five :) [17:51] you are editing /etc/exports on the server crackerjackz [17:51] anyone able to get PIL to pip install to a virtual environment with --no-site-packages AND able to find the png (zip) library? [17:51] nocilis: from where i can get the info about different commands in linux [17:51] the mount command is issued from the client to mount the server volume to mount point (in that order in the command) crackerjackz [17:52] rhin0, ahhh okay, i see [17:52] ambuj try "man " [17:52] aha, so can I give the partition a drive name instead of the mount ? [17:52] nocilis: what is it [17:52] ambuj for instance "man chmod" [17:52] ambuj the ubuntu system manual [17:52] leave the options off for now crackerjackz (-o wsize -rsize atime) etc [17:52] thats just to speed it up [17:52] ubuntu makes no sense [17:52] Islam: "drive name" is the folder where it's mounted, a mountpoint, if that's what you mean [17:52] >carries python2.7 [17:52] nocilis : thanks [17:52] >doesn't have yum [17:53] ambuj no problem [17:53] yeah I mean that, [17:53] Epona: We haz APT.

[17:54] rhin0: Meh, I just use pacman most of the time ;) [17:54] I dont want the mount point and the need to mount it like this /media/01CB63DB15FC1220/Songs [17:54] How can I switch my apt-get repos. database back to the system wide version? [17:55] rpm is good input for alien :-) that`s it [17:55] * rhin0 still hasn't got around to installing pacman - must do theadmin [17:55] rhin0: "installing" pacman? [17:55] yes [17:55] I wanna open it easy like this cd /media/Songs [17:55] rhin0: It comes with The Distro, Arch. You don't "install" it. [17:55] is there a way to do that ? [17:55] whats the command to get pacman theadmin? thought pacman was a proprietary game [17:55] Islam: yes there is [17:55] i'm running 10.04 [17:56] thanx fritsch, how can I do that [17:56] fritsch : Hello [17:56] rhin0: Pacman is the package manager for Arch, it's not available (or, well, at least useful) for other distros [17:56] rhin0, when i restarted the server it says this.. is it complaining about something exportfs: No host name given with /export/music (rw,nohide,insecure,no_subtree_check,async), suggest *(rw,nohide,insecure,no_subtree_check,async) to avoid warning [17:56] oh I was talking about the game thought you were too theadmin [17:56] theadmin - I think he's talking about the arcade game [17:56] Ah I see xD [17:57] fritsch : remember me [17:57] Islam: just thinking of what would be best - that everything other still works [17:57] ambuj: can`t forget you :-) [17:57] you need either the host name or the ip address of the client machine crackerjackz (in /etc/exports) [17:57] fritsch : HAHAHA [17:57] ambuj: hehe [17:57] all I need is to log to my files through terminal withough having to mount the partition by opening it by the browser [17:58] fritsch : carry on with your talks i m not disturbing [17:58] Islam: you can use autofs [17:58] how ? [17:58] rhin0, what if i copied the example exact from the manual (aside from the directory name) [17:58] since i named it something different [17:58] "/export 192.168.1.0/24(rw,fsid=0,insecure,no_subtree_check,async) <- where the ip address can be the hostname (I think) crackerjackz - that is /etc/exports [17:59] Islam: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Autofs <- have a look here [17:59] you need your ip address or hostname .. you find what the client machine ip is with ifconfig on the client crackerjackz [17:59] put that ip address into the line I show you above (but avoid the /24) ... crackerjackz [17:59] Islam: http://www.greenfly.org/tips/autofs.html [17:59] rhin0, what if i want to share with a whole range of IPs [17:59] Islam: bad colors, but ubuntu based ;-) [18:00] crackerjackz: I jus tput in sync,no_subtree_check [18:00] not on my sever now can't tell you its not on [18:00] ambuj: everything allright, ubuntu working like a charme? [18:01] crackerjackz: you put one line for each client you want to share to into /etc/exports on the server [18:01] in epic IRC client does anyone know the command in IRC for it to stop showing everyone leaving and entering [18:01] FireRailz - funnily enough I was just asking the exact same question for Irssi [18:01] rhin0, brb gonna get the client machine now... [18:01] zooka: For irssi, /ignore * JOIN PART QUIT [18:01] FireRailz: ^ try that, too [18:02] thank god :-) [18:02] theadmin - ooooh thank you :) [18:02] thats what i did [18:02] theadmin - that's much nicer [18:02] it is so annoying I havn't used txt based irc since my bell labs days i dont remember all the commands [18:02] zooka: lol [18:02] I think the 0/24 in the above is to share a range actually crackerjackz - so you can share to a client machine ip range in one line of /etc/exports -- check the nfs howto - never done it myself [18:03] fritsch : off course .......If you r there then no probs [18:04] fritsch : well , what does chmod command do? [18:04] I think there is a program that you can use to make a .deb file so it can be easy to add/remove whatever you compile from source does anyone know the name of it? [18:04] i just set up one line for each individual client (not many) crackerjackz [18:05] FireRailz: checkinstall [18:05] its in the nfs to do ranges crackerjackz [18:05] nfs howto [18:06] Thank you theadmin, do you think that is worth using for small things like bsflite i noticed when i installed it just put the program in /usr/local [18:07] FireRailz: Well, probably so, probably not, I dunno, I just write PKGBUILDs for stuff I compile from source that's not in the AUR :D [18:07] I installed mysql then I ran sudo update-rc.d mysql remove but it still runs at startup? Is there a different way to remove those from startup? [18:07] FireRailz: Cause I'm not an Ubuntu user xD So I have my own ways.

[18:09] he needs to generate xorg.conf theadmin ? [18:09] rhin0: Generate, or write manually, whatever. [18:09] hola [18:10] Hello, is there a way to create a backup of a linux file system that is also mountable by windows? [18:10] spockockt: No. Windows can *not* mount Linux filesystems, period. [18:10] theadmin / spockockt - ext2fsd will let you mount ext2 and ext3 (and it actually mounts my ext4 as well) [18:11] can't he create an NFS volume and within linux -- copy the files to that and then mount it from windows theadmin ? [18:11] theadmin: i see. would it be possible to change the filesystem of a backup, say to fat32? [18:11] not nfs [18:11] windows filing system volume [18:11] ntfs [18:11] theadmin: sorry that is what I meant. I ran that command yet it still starts at boot? [18:11] rhin0: MS will do anything to make win *incompatible* with linux [18:12] shame [18:12] spockockt - you can install ext2fsd in windows to mount ext* partitions, but make sure to turn off write capability. you don't want to corrupt your backups. [18:12] spockockt: samba package will enable you to share linux filing system over network with windows [18:13] guys alittle help here plz http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1856073 [18:13] theadmin: I do have it in my xorg.conf Do I need to restart anything after adding it to my config?

Any pointers? Can I just do a "dpkg -L libvirt-bin | xargs rm" ? [18:15] it's its own server [18:16] el_seano - ah sorry. I don't know if add-apt-repository can use something that's not a ppa? I'm probably wrong, I've just never tried to use it otherwise [18:16] zmbmartin: sudo update-rc.d -f mysql remove (or disable) [18:16] zooka: the man page seems to indicate it can, but each time I try something it just spits out syntax errors [18:18] el_seano - hmm sorry I'm not sure then [18:18] anyone know of a good PDF reader for ubuntu which will search entire documents for text?

[20:04] sorry for the long message that comes now: [20:04] is there any known bug/issue with iceauthority at the actual state of ubuntu 11.10 in combination with gnome 3.2? [20:04] to be a bit more specific: [20:04] I've upgraded from 11.04 with gnome3-ppa to 11.10 beta. my normal user works without problems. but: [20:04] if I create a new user, i can't log in with that one. the message is could not update ICEauthority file /home/$(USER)/.ICEauthority [20:04] actually the file doesn't even exist and if i copy the file from the working user and set the rights corresponding to the new one, it doesn't help at all.

[20:10] cypha, python 2.7.1+ IIRC [20:10] thanks beatpanic [20:10] cypha, you are welcome [20:11] cypha, on 11.10 it's 2.7.2+ [20:11] cypha, obviously you can install also python 3 if you need it [20:11] I have a question. I'm installing ubuntu on asus laptop and don't want to touch recovery partition only I can't figure out which one it is. Does anybody here have experience in that?

[20:15] przemo_rex: use a !pastebin to show us the output of sudo fdisk -l [20:15] guntbert: one of it has hidden atribute [20:16] przemo_rex: that *might* be the one, mount and examine the other two [20:16] guntbert: ok, I think I'm on track [20:17] how to remove this error, wait for sound system to respond? [20:17] is it worth upgrading for 11.04 or 11.10? [20:17] przemo_rex: Good luck :-) [20:18] cypha, if you are used to gnome (not unity) IMHO no [20:18] guntbert: can I find on recovery part any characteristic files? [20:18] beatpanic, i'm using openbox [20:19] cypha, so I guess it doesn't make any difference [20:19] Is there a way to specify the coordinates at which a program launches from the command line? [20:19] przemo_rex: no idea, sorry (and that would me more appropriate for ##windows) [20:21] beatpanic, so basically no reason to upgradde? [20:22] what is hard drive air temperature on the performance of any hard drive and its longevity? [20:22] g0rs, keep it cool [20:22] cypha, if you need some updated packages it's worth -- for example the vim version of oneiric is necessary to run the command-T vim plugin, otherwise it segfaults [20:22] cypha: it is about 65 deg C even though it should be about 40 according to specs of software. What should be done? [20:23] beatpanic, I'm looking for a changelog on ubuntu's website [20:23] don't see one [20:23] cypha, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricOcelot/TechnicalOverview [20:24] thank beatpanic [20:24] cypha : Oneiric/11.10 is not yet released. Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion.

[20:29] computerx: the hard drive diagnostic software says 40 is normal and its about 65 [20:29] computerx: i didnt look into its details until now [20:29] oh boy, here goes [20:30] g0rs: That is pretty high. It could be the smart data that's wrong though. [20:30] computerx: the units are in deg C [20:30] g0rs: I know :p === sysadamin is now known as syadamin|away [20:30] g0rs: 65 fahrenheit would be crazy [20:31] i need help changing my sound card assignment [20:31] what am i doing wrong?

[20:31] computerx: should i ignore it ? it wont make any difference inits operation [20:31] computerx: i have backups often [20:31] g0rs: I just wouldn't worry unless some other smart data is way out, or it's making funny noises, though with hard drives, you can never be too sure. If you're that worried, back it up [20:32] g0rs: If it's any help, I tend to find hard drives work fine for a powered on time of about 5 years, assuming no big fat smart warnings [20:33] computerx: i'll look into it . the mtbf of this hard drive is high i think [20:33] computerx: so it might not be a probem [20:33] g0rs: Mean being mean, I would never care about mtbf, it's marketing crap nowadays. [20:34] computerx: i usually look into something called MTBF ( mean time between failure) on harddrive . If its high , then the hard drive is good. [20:34] g0rs: real world performance depends on the kinds of test [20:34] computerx: There are several parts of a hard drive which can fail and their aggregated sum leads to the calculation of MTBF although Im not sure how its done. [20:35] g0rs: this is the problem. it is shoesize of top manager multiplied with rounds per minute :-) [20:35] fritsch: agreed, the test may done in a laboratory or in the real world [20:35] g0rs: I know about mtbf, what I'm saying is: Ignore it. It's based on factors that aren't *your* personal use type [20:35] computerx: ack [20:36] computerx: its possible, but i dont use it extravagantly and probably not so different than any other user . [20:37] g0rs: I've been using hard drives for 20 years, and only one has failed beyond repair. Don't worry so much, and just keep backups :p [20:37] I remember buying my first MFM controller /sigh :) [20:37] computerx: i had a 40 mb hard drive which failed and was beyond repair :/ [20:38] what am i doing wrong?

[20:39] no i running the command while i'm in the folder i want to change [20:39] bum [20:40] alaing_: Then specify "." for the current folder [20:40] i mkdir and the ower is root so i want to change it [20:40] <_2briancox_> How does one install Java SE Runtime 7 if 6 is already installed.

I don't think they are... is there a better program for viewing pdfs? [20:44] question about samba. I am using Samba4 and cant get it to follow symlinks. Anybody have any ideas on how to fix this? [20:44] laptopfreek0_: Do you have wide links = yes and unix extensions = yes in your config? [20:45] computerx: follow symlinks = yes wide symlinks = yes unix extensions = no [20:46] wad: If you have Chrome installed, you can drag-drop it into that [20:46] laptopfreek0_: Let me check my fileserver's config a sec [20:46] computerx, thanks [20:47] I love that I come in here for help, then find myself helping everyone else instead >.> [20:47] coputerx: lol [20:48] laptopfreek0_: "wide links = yes" and "unix extensions = no" [20:48] laptopfreek0_: But bear in mind, symlinked data, if out of the shared area, may not work as you expect.

[20:49] computerx: any way to avoid that? trying to symlink to something that I don't want to show up elsewhere [20:49] laptopfreek0_: I had a long chat in #samba a while ago, and... not that I know of. [20:50] computerx: wait bingo got it, I had wide symlinks = yes instead of wide links = yes [20:50] laptopfreek0_: I achieve the same effect now with an fstab entry bringing another hard drive in as a sub-folder of the main drive, and careful permissions === Axlin_ is now known as Axlin [20:51] computerx: thought about doing that, but there would be way to many entries. But now that I got the smb.conf fixed it works like I want. [20:51] computerx: mount to one location and symlink to the data works as expected. [20:51] laptopfreek0_: Great, as a side note about too many entries, it's why I love bash scripting so much [20:52] computerx: freeking genious, I think I will convert part of my fstab to bash, didn't think of that [20:52] can someone help me swap sound card 0 to sound card 1 and vice versa? [20:52] vegaman: To what effect? I don't know too much about it, but I know I've solved 99% of my sound issues through the pulseaudio-mixer [20:53] Ok so virtualbox OSE installed...got an error...installed the dkms kernel module...ran sudo modprobe vboxdrv...now I have another problem anyone have this working on their 11.04 version? [20:53] Yes mellin [20:53] computerx: thanks for your help man [20:53] laptopfreek0_: np, and good luck with deletions on the symlink'd files ;) [20:53] computerx: Did it work for you out of the install from synaptic? [20:53] computerx: I have multiple sound cards and my default sound card is set to the on board sound card instead of my HDMI out === Aang is now known as Zutara [20:54] mellin: The kernel update worked, though I've had this same Ubuntu install for 3 years next week [20:54] computerx: Just noticed that, not only does it delete the symlink, but it also deletes that data as well... Guess I will just have to keep that in mind. [20:54] computerx: Ahhhh...ok thanks I will have to do some more looking..thanks that gives me a starting point [20:54] vegaman: Yes, I know the issue. I fixed it recently. If you give me a moment, I'll remember how [20:55] computerx: oh ok i just need to swap these 2 around but cant remember/find how [20:55] http://paste.ubuntu.com/704181/ [20:56] vegaman: Try this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=962471 [20:56] #bild [20:56] is the use of using virtual cd/dvd software needed or do i just need an ISO mount package to do the same thing [20:56] #/channel bild [20:56] /join? [20:56] vegaman: I believe the bottom post's link is what I eventually used to sort my issue out [20:57] I am trying to send an email with attachment from my localbox, where does ubuntu store those emails. I want to see if the email is stuck or it was just not sent [20:57] VampsDaBeast: Depends on what exactly you want to do. You can mount most things from files, as fake file systems [20:58] Bisu[Shield]: Try /var/spool/mail [20:59] !iso | VampsDaBeast [20:59] VampsDaBeast: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [20:59] I see -rw-rw---- 1 nobody mail 115101 2011-09-01 11:09 nobody in that folder... [20:59] so what what does that mean [20:59] what is nobody [20:59] nobody is exactly as it sounds. Not associated with anyone [20:59] cat it [20:59] (or less, tail etc) [21:00] computerx and Jordan_U thanks, so i can just set and ISO to a mount point such as /serverinstall and use it there? [21:00] VampsDaBeast: Yup [21:00] Don't forget to create that folder first [21:00] computerx, awesome.. that works with just bout any diusc image [21:00] disc** [21:00] Can someone look at this error for Virtualbox? http://paste.ubuntu.com/704183/ [21:01] mellin: try #vbox [21:01] john: thanks [21:01] VampsDaBeast: You can also use gmountiso [21:02] laptopfreek0_, ya i installed a few packages that dealt with isos, just havent toyed with them yet [21:02] Well, I'm pretty much on a roll here, anyone else ;) [21:02] VampsDaBeast: That works with any disk image that contains a filesystem. i.e. any disk which would contain files with paths as opposed to audio CDs which don't actually contain a filesystem. [21:05] So, can I set the remote file user from rsync directly, to save a separate ssh chown [21:05] Is there any dev here? [21:05] Or, can I set a sticky user to a folder, like I can with a sticky group?

Basically it goes nuts after few minutes of using it and I start getting random keypress events (KEYUP). I tried to fix it by reinstalling every possible driver, X and stuff but it still happens. Today, I was finally able to stop that bug by disabling iMON Panel, Knob and Mouse(15c2:0036) in the xinput. Is it a known bug? If not, how can I report it outside of apport? [21:09] Bisu[Shield]: I know they're pretty strict about what files you can send, and check common archive formats [21:10] thanks [21:10] I just performed " sudo nvidia-xconfig " and upon completing this and then rebooting doing what the nvidia settings tab told me to due to error in not being able to open the nvidia settings and now my gdm won't start [21:10] I just performed " sudo nvidia-xconfig " and upon completing this and then rebooting doing what the nvidia settings tab told me to due to error in not being able to open the nvidia settings and now my gdm won't start . any clue as to how to get X up and running ? === macer7 is now known as macer1 [21:12] hello [21:12] I just performed " sudo nvidia-xconfig " and upon completing this and then rebooting doing what the nvidia settings tab told me to due to error in not being able to open the nvidia settings and now my gdm won't start . any clue as to how to get X up and running ?

[21:13] thanks Jordan_U [21:14] hi all [21:14] localg0d: You're welcome. [21:14] it's getting pretty ridiculous. [21:15] Chwoka, just plug in a network cable to your NIC. make sure the connection is set to DHCP, that's assuming your router is serving DHCP [21:15] I trying to upgrader to 11.04.. but when I run the "update manager" i get error >> W:Failed to fetch http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty/Release Unable to find expected entry partner/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)

I wanna copy/paste it into my virtual environment [21:16] that's the problem, captwho. i've tried, like, 3 different cables running straight from the ethernet port to the router, and no luck. [21:16] hey Jordan_U , reboot after doing that ? [21:16] will another computer connect to the router and work?

[21:17] p_masho, I think its alt+ f2 then update-manager -d [21:17] also: what does nic stand for? [21:17] Chwoka, are you certain that your computer's network connection is set to DHCP? [21:18] where does Ubuntu keep the Python-Imaging package? [21:18] I need to copy it out [21:18] NIC = Network Interface Card [21:18] i'm on the router infopage already, how do i check dhcp? [21:18] Jordan_U: thanks m8 .. it worked ! hehe [21:18] u click the chec box ? [21:19] can anyone help setup pptpd routing? [21:19] jpds_: http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1349627 is the result [21:19] i want vpn users to access internet but not LAN [21:19] if other computers are connecting, it sounds like your router is serving DHCP correctly. the problem would be in the ubuntu machine [21:19] where are repo's installed to? [21:19] different places? [21:19] I'm looking for Python-Imaging, can't seem to find it [21:19] on my local machine [21:20] captwho: that's about the conclusion i've come to over three days of snake-wrangling, too. [21:20] p_masho: Pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list . [21:20] on the ubuntu box, go to system > preferences > network connections [21:20] done. [21:21] i have both network connections and tools up already. [21:21] jpds_: http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1349629 [21:21] and the auto eth0 window, and terminal. [21:21] click on the wired tab [21:21] dr_willis, around? [21:22] there should be an eth0 connection [21:22] done. then auto eth0, then edit, right? [21:22] correct [21:22] p_masho: That's strange, is there anything in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ ? [21:22] okay, done and done [21:22] ipv4 [21:22] method should be dhcp [21:22] recommended way to ditch pulse audio and have alsa? [21:22] okay [21:23] I have a sound at login prompt, in user session no audio [21:23] I purged pulseaudio .. [21:23] was it set to dhcp? [21:24] it is now. i had it on manual in the vain hope it might fix things if i did it myself. [21:25] now, this dhcp client id field. where do i find the numbers to put in there? is it just the regular ip address? [21:26] how do i move a file from one folder to another? [21:27] Hi there, if I use the command "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda3" , will it only overwrite the "sda3" partition or do I risk damaging the other partitions as well? [21:27] should be "automatic dhcp" [21:27] hi [21:27] there are no numbers to put into it, all the numbers should be assigned dynamically === MAX is now known as Guest36096 [21:28] if you have any numbers in there, that would be enough reason for it not to work [21:28] okay, and it still doesn't work. what now? [21:28] alaing_: cd folder1/* folder2/ [21:28] ok it seems my sound is locked to only one application at a time ? [21:29] have you restarted the machine? [21:29] Does anyone have a clean, small Server based GUI for Ubnutu? [21:29] alaing_: *cp [21:30] doesn't that copy? [21:30] and did you change anything in the "wired" tab for eth0? [21:30] many times. one time it restarted and gave me nonsense so i had to reinstall! and the network worked on the disk i use to install, somehow, and then stopped working. [21:30] just to mock me. [21:30] alaing_: cp does, cd not.

[21:32] and it had an option to clone it under it. [21:32] get rid of that, that could be a problem [21:32] but seriously, i'm in hope that this time i will only use linux and say goodbye forever to microsoft [21:32] there's no need to clone an address [21:32] and at advance say thank you to you all linux lovers [21:32] if you mean under the netowkr connections window, not a thing. i just used it as a gateway to the edit screen [21:32] THANK YOU!!!

[21:40] localg0d you should have a virtual C drive in ~/.wine/drive_c [21:40] are the network lights showing on the router and on the NIC?

Does anyone know why this is? I have tried the same username and password on a windows machine with msn windows live messenger and it worked [21:50] about the router flashing wierdly? yeah, that thing totally cut out right as i was saying that and i had to reset it to get it to work. [21:50] CarlT: try aMSN [21:52] I was hoping other people have come across this problem with msn accounts. I haven't changed any of my settings and I double checked the password [21:52] CarlT http://askubuntu.com/questions/6136/empathy-cannot-connect-to-msn-account [21:52] CarlT looks like it's a common problem [21:53] CaptWho: and also, the green nis lights are flahsing on and off [21:53] uh.. how do I "touch" something in /proc?

[21:55] CarlT if that doesn't work I'd try aMSN like DustyMonk suggested [21:55] nocilis: I saw someone said removing then re adding the account worked, tried it, it didn't. But that's for 10.10, I was hoping there would be a more definitive answer, like the msn chat protocol got updated recently [21:55] CarlT is there a reason you want to keep Empathy? If it doesn't work you might as well switch to Pidgin or another client [21:55] and is 802.1x security turned off? [21:56] I need yesterday's logs, where do I find it? it's a webpage [21:56] captwho: yup. [21:56] Nocilis: I think I'll just use a web based msn client if needs be. I tried pidgin and that didn't work with msn either. I don't want loads of programs open, the whole reason I use empathy or pidgin is so I can have all my chat accounts from one program.

[21:58] nocilis, dustymonk: thanks for your help. It seems like msn change their chat client over and over again to throw a spanner in the works. And no, can't get my friends to change.

I've just installed it and it's not a pleasure to use at all [23:00] is there another software package similar to linuxmce that is current? seems last one is still 8.10-rc1 and doesn't work correctly after 4 install attempts [23:00] im on a mini 9 dell. My wireless isnt working. any tips? [23:01] drPoggs, thats not a support question [23:01] drPoggs: /join #ubuntu+1 [23:01] qin: drPoggs neither of them is a complain channel [23:01] Here's a support question then - how do I go back to using a half-decent window manager that doesn't have the "dash" on the left? [23:01] dee-dee, http://www.ubuntumini.com/ [23:02] I could do that on 11.04 [23:02] thanks will checkt that [23:02] drPoggs, install something else [23:03] bazhang: uh, it asks for my password and then what i type is invisible (which might be for privacy) but enter just gives me line breaks and then, shortly afterwards, a new prompt where previously there was nothing but line breaks. [23:03] am i doing something wrong? [23:03] bazhang: Another distribution? I might well do, Ubuntu's not a good desktop choice any more [23:04] Chwoka, and what happens when you try to ping www.google.com [23:04] just type "ping google.com"? [23:04] lwizardl: I ran that command. The wireless accesspoints dont show my point of access there still. I have given it a reboot. Am I just overlooking sth obvious? [23:04] yup. "ping: unknown host google.com" [23:07] Why doesn't gedit treat numbers and letters together as a single word? If I double click, it won't select both. I guess I'm asking how I can change that.. [23:07] bazhang: ? [23:08] hi, how can i move all files up to the parent directory? (inc hidden files) [23:08] so any suggestşons for me? [23:09] klj613: mv bar/{,.}* . [23:09] klj613: (from the parent) [23:09] ty [23:09] klj613: Note that this assumes bash. [23:11] Chwoka, thats odd. try bringing the device down then up again. sudo ifdown eth0 then ifup [23:12] Chwoka, barring that, could be a dns issue [23:12] ifdown: interface eth0 not configured [23:13] Corey: thanks [23:13] why is Ubuntu 32-bit recommended over 64-bit currently? [23:13] ifup: Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0. [23:13] I thought with avahi I could ping hosts on the same subnet without appending the .local ? [23:13] because 64 bit is a huge pain in the ass [23:13] qmr, thats not true [23:13] mainly for flash and other binary stuff [23:13] I'm a newbie in VI (via Putty). i cant seem to even delete a character (backspace) and manual confuses me.. ^H is backspace? o.O [23:13] more technically? [23:13] if you have to ask, just use 32 bit [23:13] Noldorin_, badly worded web page, 64bit is fine [23:13] qmr, thats not helpful [23:14] qmr, Windows 64-bit can run all 32-bit programs fine...can't Ubuntu? [23:14] it's plenty helpful [23:14] Noldorin_: windows has all 32 bit libraries installed by default. note that you have 2 program files folders in windows [23:14] qmr, no it's not. please desist immediately [23:14] bazhang, i would assume Ubuntu 64-bit can run 32-bit programs (including Flash) fine still? [23:14] qmr, yes indeed [23:14] bazhang: I'll do as I please, thanks. [23:14] mdns4_minimal is listed in my /etc/nssswitch.conf [23:14] hmm [23:14] Unless you have a special use case, you're really most likely better off using 32 bit [23:15] Noldorin_: Today, Ubuntu 64-bit runs Flash and others fine. [23:15] bazhang: how would it be a dns problem? i'm connecting to the internet plenty fine with 2 other computers [23:15] klj613: In shell yes, #vi and #vim [23:15] Lithos84, oh, that's good news. and it won't limit my app choice too much either? [23:15] Lithos84, i'm most concerned about Mono in fact. [23:15] qin: didnt think it would have it own channel, thanks. [23:15] Noldorin_, zero reason to not use 64bit [23:15] ok cheers [23:15] might as well try then [23:15] that's not true. I think bazhang is overly excited about extra bits [23:16] Noldorin_: bazhang is right. Go ahead. Try it out. [23:16] qmr, thats quite enough [23:16] look, you're being an idiot, I'm just going to ignore you for awhile [23:16] !coc | qmr [23:16] qmr: The Ubuntu Code of Conduct is a community etiquette document to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere, and can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/ | For information on how to electronically sign the CoC, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SigningCodeofConduct [23:16] klj613: You will save yourself much pain by getting vi(m) cheatsheat, and reading any tut. [23:16] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit has some useful information Lithos84 [23:17] "it's great, it's perfect, use it" is just going to lead to confused and lost users [23:18] can anyone else ping other hosts using avahi on a local lan without specifying .local? am I crazy in thinking this worked this way before? [23:18] hold up, just fucked things up by hooking the wire into my wireless laptop. gotta go release/renew, brb [23:19] qmr: Idea is to use arch your cpu supports. No clear limitation in running 64bit Ubuntu. [23:19] Chwoka, no cursing please === Trystam is now known as Tristam [23:20] it's entirely too much headache for a desktop, especially java and flash === Chwoka2 is now known as Chwoka [23:20] bah [23:20] qmr: Strange, from own, statistical point of view. [23:23] azhang i read the post, but no have extra drivers and no wireless is detected [23:23] bazhang [23:23] hey [23:25] okay, a box of cookies to whoever has two ubuntu hosts running avahi-daemon and tries to ping one from the other without specifying .local at the end. i am happy to resort to bribery. [23:26] Hi everybody. I'm about to format my harddrive and reinstall ubuntu and windows in a different partition. Two questions: 1. is there a way to automatically find/reinstall all the programs I have now? 2. Is it ok to have windows in a primary partition, / in another primary partitio and then /home and /swap in logical partition (logical from / one). Thanks! [23:26] im reading this howto dell inspiron wireless http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=297092 [23:26] !clone | javier_ [23:26] javier_: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [23:27] javier_: 2. Yes, it is ok. [23:27] javier_, for question one ^ [23:29] okay i'm back [23:30] mmm, I didn't understood well what ubottu said. Would that suit to me, if I want to format my hard-drive and reinstall ubuntu? [23:30] bazhang: sorry for cursing. what do i do next? [23:31] javier_, sure [23:31] bazhang: as I understand, I generate now the file "my-package", save it and then copy it to the new ubuntu and it will reinstall everything? [23:33] javier_, a list; did you want to create a physical backup for installing later? then try aptoncd [23:33] !aptoncd | javier_ [23:33] javier_: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [23:34] bazhang: should we try messing with the network configuraqtion boxes now? [23:35] Chwoka, that card should work out of the box. perhaps using ethtool to see what it supports [23:35] banzhang: it works only with cd or also with a hard drive? [23:35] ethtool? [23:36] well terminal says i need to install it, which i can't do due to internet problems, so...? [23:37] javier_: if you want to make a list of all your installed programs => http://paste.ubuntu.com/704237/ [23:37] i use it, it works [23:39] never mind, bazhang said the same thing [23:40] DustyMonk: oh, now I understood it. Looks like fine for me. I'll try that. But, one more question. I'm thinking about getting the beta of oneric ocelot. I guess I will have problems with what you told me as far as it is a different SO, no? [23:40] bazhang: could i burn ethtool onto a cd and unstall it like that? [23:40] javier_: it works for every OS, as long as you don't mix [23:41] javier_: by OS, I mean both 11.04 and 11.10 [23:41] *install [23:41] DustyMonk: I mean, I have now 11.04 and I will install 11.10 [23:42] so, it would mean, to have programs I have in 11.04 in 11.10 (and repositories may be different) [23:42] Chwoka, by usb stick even [23:42] javier_: javier_ forget what I say about mixing, it will work [23:43] ok, that's fine. Thanks [23:44] bazhang: get it here? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+package/ethtool [23:44] and one last thing. I will have partitions: 1 (primary) for windows; 2 (primary) for / with /home and /swap in two logical partitions. That's fine. But I want to have windows data in a different partition. Shall I make logical partition from window's primary one? Is that possible? Or I can only make logical under one primary partition? [23:45] can someone help me get dvd movies working? i have restricted-extras and libdvdcss2 installed, but i just get a blank screen with no sound instead of the menu screen on totem and a cryptic error on vlc [23:45] javier_, windows stuff ? ##windows should advise that [23:45] javier_: can't say, don't know how win partitions [23:45] WHAT_UP, what does mplayer do [23:46] bazhang, DustyMonk: ok, I understand, thanks [23:46] javier_: but be sure to install win first, or it will ruin your grub [23:46] It was ratter more about partitions than about windows, but guess many people here got totally ride of it :) [23:47] DustyMonk: But even if it ruin my boot it's not difficult to repair it with boot-repair application [23:47] bazhang: is that aforementioned link where i can get ethtool from? don't leave me bazhanging! [23:47] bazhang: "your system is too SLOW to play this!" [23:47] Chwoka, packages.ubuntu.com ? [23:48] bazhang: this seems weird. it says here that the most common reason is a broken/buggy audio driver. how do i repair the driver?
