[00:00] gnome im pretty sure [00:00] ubuntu 11 x64 [00:00] or is that kde === Asianoid is now known as matt_haines [00:00] meek: gnome has an installer for deb files which is neat. I use it everytime. [00:00] meek: since the deb is marked 'all' I doubt it is a 64 bit app [00:01] im trying to download these files http://www.appinventorbeta.com/learn/setup/setuplinux.html [00:01] and the sudo dpkg line wont run. and dep package from the site is "of bad qualty" [00:01] when i run in USC [00:02] meek.. [00:02] I [00:02] can you try one thing? [00:02] sure [00:03] install gdebi by typing: "sudo apt-get install gdebi" [00:03] without the quotes [00:03] ok installing now [00:03] I'm having an issue with hard disk corruption, and I've never had to deal with this before, so I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction to start? I ran the bios disk check and it said there were errors on my primary hard drive, and the system won't boot to hda1, where Ubuntu is installed. [00:03] after you do that, go to the appinventor deb file, right click it, go to open with - [00:04] then chooose gdebi [00:04] ok [00:04] Should I be running fsck and just saying yes to all the inode illegal blocks messages? [00:04] meek: gdebi installer is pretty good [00:05] aweomse i think it worked [00:05] great! [00:05] how do i find appinventor now haha [00:05] oh [00:05] go to home -> Downloads [00:06] using nautilus [00:06] hi [00:07] is it safe to install ruby1.8 without verification on ubuntu 11.04 [00:07] umm [00:07] i already installed it, but cant find it in apps [00:07] oh ok [00:07] go to your terminal [00:07] type "appinv" [00:07] then press tab a couple of times [00:08] hopefully it should autoaomplet === matt_haines is now known as sIen === sIen is now known as Guest18927 [00:09] but, it is strange that it didn't come in the menu. i hope you installed it completely. [00:09] says it should be in /usr/google/appinventor-setup [00:09] where is usr? [00:09] Oh! [00:09] again, back to the terminal :D [00:09] k [00:10] type "cd /usr/google/" [00:10] ah i forgot t he / haha [00:10] ty [00:10] then "sudo chmod a+x appinventor-setup" [00:10] tell me if that worked without errors [00:11] yep [00:11] just new line [00:11] cant run though [00:12] ok [00:12] then [00:12] kvv, just an fyi for ya, but if you want everyone to have execute you can just take out "a" so ".. chmod +x foo" would work [00:12] wth is with the "Warning the following packages cannot be authenticated" ? [00:12] @zyko thanks :) [00:12] tried ./appinventor [00:12] type "sudo ./appinventor-setup" === Guest18927 is now known as zeezee [00:12] doesnt have -setup at the end, took it out for last command you gave me [00:13] ok.. [00:13] sudo: ./appinventor: command not found [00:13] under usr/google i have appinventor in blue [00:13] only file there [00:14] idk why i cant run it [00:14] is appinventor a folder?? [00:14] D: [00:14] meek, are you sure it's "appinventor"? OR are you running a 64bit OS and trying to install a 32bit binary? [00:14] good question [00:14] http://www.appinventorbeta.com/learn/setup/setuplinux.html [00:14] just followed that [00:14] think it may be 32 [00:14] zykotick9: I pointed that out earlier. He is running a 64 bit system, and the deb is marked 'all' [00:15] how can i find /usr/ in file manager rather than term? [00:16] : cd: /appinventor: No such file or directory [00:16] [00:16] and i cant go into appinventor so im not sure if its a folder [00:16] in terminal "nautilus /usr/" [00:17] is there a package to manage login screen looks? [00:17] according to the website, the setup file should be "appinventor-setup", i don't know why it's different for you [00:18] i used gdebi to install the setup_1deb [00:18] gdebi is basically a GUI frontend for dpkg [00:19] welp, idk i have the adb file that i need to run it but its not working [00:19] and its root so i cant make it exe [00:19] gonna take a break [00:19] tahnks for your help guys [00:20] Hi, do you know why Ubuntu Customization Toolkit (UCK) is not finding some packages during it's session? [00:20] I can install in my host machine fine. But when trying to install the same packages in the UCK session, for customize the iso, the packages are not found. [00:21] meek: according to the website, after installing, there should be a folder call /usr/google/appinventor-setup [00:22] yea there is kvv [00:22] i can get to the files [00:22] yes.. [00:22] is there a package to manage login screen looks? [00:22] I'm having a difficulty with fdisk can someone help? [00:22] but they wont run [00:22] what is the name of the executable ? [00:22] VampsDaVamps: gdmsetup === Matt_Haines is now known as powerpuffgirls [00:22] from term right th0r [00:23] When I get to the point where you would specify the partition size it list it as "First sector" not "First cylinder" [00:23] adb [00:23] and emulator and mksdcard [00:23] VampsDaVamps: it should be in the menu somewhere, but yes, you should be able to run it from the terminal as well using gksudo [00:23] but i need the adb, i think thats the app inventer gui [00:23] what error message does it give when you execute adb from the terminal? [00:23] "first cylinder" is what it shows in the guide I'm going off and with that it starts at "1" not "2048" like I have here now [00:24] quit [00:24] exit [00:24] i cant get to the appinventor folder in term for some reason [00:24] and if i drag and drop adb to term i get a while wall of text [00:24] the folder will be called appinventer-setup [00:25] and no, dragging and dropping doesn't do anything useful [00:25] th0r, it says 'No protocol specificied' cannot open dis[;au 0:0 [00:25] err display [00:28] no takers? [00:28] so kvv im in the appinventor-setuptoler [00:28] on term. [00:28] how do i run adb, just ./adb right? cuase i get a huge wall when i do [00:28] ouch [00:28] hi everyone, I'm trying to set synergy in two machines (server: under xp, client: under ubuntu) I did all the windows configs, but when lunching the client "synergyc" I got that error message " WARNING: failed to connect to server: address not found for: serveur" can you help me to fix that ? [00:28] and no error message? [00:29] oh,well i guess it works [00:29] hi everyone. when i installed ubuntu, i somehow ended up having no partition for swap (it still works somehow). where can i find some info about the way the drive needs to be partitioned? i couldnt figure out how to use the formatiing options at the time of the OS installation. thanks [00:29] but its all term based and no GUI but on the site i saw a gui [00:30] what does "emulator" do? [00:30] comitt, i notice that swap is used more for systems with low ram installed. normally under 1 gb.. swap is much like the windows pagefile [00:31] oh nvm i think i got it [00:31] ty [00:31] kvv [00:31] sure! [00:31] well, do other linux distros use the partition? like, need it? i intend to test fedora too [00:32] comitt, swap is apart of the linux filesystem. its not to my knowledge dependant to any perticular distro. so fedora would use it as well [00:33] comitt, so long as you aren't using hybernate - that can cause problems if sharing swap between distros! === Chotaz_ is now known as Chotaz [00:34] i see, thanks. ill look up anyway how to set up the partitioning correctly, "just in case" [00:34] comitt, you should be able to setup a swap partittion during install. [00:34] one more thing. i have ubuntu on something like the 4th partition of the drive. i boot up with grub2 and have windows xp on the first partition. if i delete the ubuntu partition, will this mess up the boot in any way? thanks [00:35] that very likely depends on where you last setup grub [00:35] comitt: most likely since your boot loader is grub is it not? [00:35] VampsDaVamps: i agree, but i couldnt figure out what option to use for the partition. i was able to format for the first partition, where i put the system files and the rest, but the rest of the "unallocated space" became unusable [00:35] fullmetal: yes [00:36] anyone for fdisk?? [00:36] comitt, fyi you can only have 4 primary partitions [00:36] I'd sure appreciate the help [00:36] clentAlive: i rather use partition magic [00:36] * yagoo says "swap" is not part of the filesystem. [00:36] yeah [00:36] well this is how my guide goes [00:36] but fdisk if you need it command line [00:36] comitt, you can actually setup non-standard partition names and just format it to a specific size [00:36] I need to fig it out some how [00:37] ClientAlive, need to figure what? [00:37] advanced track, ok what you got [00:37] m for menu [00:37] so... if i already have 4 partitions on my drive.... how do i actually make the additional partition for swap? any clue? [00:37] then its pretty explanitory from there.... [00:37] "first cylinder" is what it shows in the guide I'm going off and with that it starts at "1" not "2048" like I have here now [00:37] * yagoo uses gparted live cd for partition editing [00:38] * VampsDaVamps agrees with yagoo [00:38] When I get to the point where you would specify the partition size it list it as "First sector" not "First cylinder" [00:38] with 4 partitions already there and not knowing what you have alread set you may want to use a gui for this one [00:38] creating a liveusb for a macbook pro... would it work if the usb was created on a ubuntu machine ? [00:38] sry [00:38] had to find it in the window again to paste here [00:38] ClientAlive: you may just nuke your drive... did you backup first? [00:38] airtonix, does your macbook support usb boot? [00:38] its bare [00:39] starting wtih nothing [00:39] there are no partitions to begin with either [00:39] you said you have 4 partitions already? [00:39] yagoo: it's not mine, work colleague. how do i determine that ? [00:39] errr [00:39] I don't think so [00:39] sorry confusing you with committ [00:39] airtonix, u can look up the model online, also if you want to boot into linux from the internal HD, you'd need to use refit [00:40] my "units" are wrong [00:40] in fdisk I mean [00:40] I need cylinders not sectors [00:40] ClientAlive, don't bother with that.. just use gparted [00:40] yagoo: so the only way to know if the macbook pro allows for usb boot is if the apple web page bothers to mention it? [00:41] I'm running gentoo live install cd and following the manual [00:41] airtonix, 1) Get your macbook model. 2) Look it up. [00:41] where do i change the login screen setup? such as using a custom login screen from art.gnome? [00:41] yagoo: so you don't know then ? [00:41] VampsDaVamps, short answer - you can't [00:41] besides, I trust fdisk more anyway (don't aks me why --just seems like 'quality' to me) [00:41] airtonix, are you 12 years old? [00:42] zykotick9, really? why would they make custom login screen then.. not being rude, just seems like a waste of time [00:42] ClientAlive: you can always assume that they are the same and proceed. what have you got to lose? [00:42] its a bear drive... [00:42] yagoo: well i asked a specific question and you're giving me vague answers. ( but getting frustrated as a response to my questions isn't that mature ) [00:42] lol [00:42] * yagoo thinks some kids. [00:42] VampsDaVamps, in older versions of GDM is was easy, but now... not so much [00:42] VampsDaVamps: did you run gdmsetup? [00:43] err [00:43] th0r couldnt [00:43] something [00:43] the start of the disk [00:43] VampsDaVamps, fyi gdm-setup doesn't allow appearance changes anyways [00:43] zykotick9: another ubuntu 'improvement'? [00:43] th0r, gnome improvement - nothing to do with ubuntu [00:43] I meant to say "/boot is supposed to begin at . . ." [00:43] errrr [00:44] ClientAlive, you're getting what boot error? [00:44] zykotick9: indeed....I am running debian squeeze, xfce, and gdm, and I was able to change the login screen with gdmsetup [00:44] so the ability to make everything bout my pc custom from bootloader screen to login and wallpapers is disappearing? [00:44] Hi there. Can someone help me solve this error i got when doin some common tasks like "apt-get update"? Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ExecFailed: Failed to execute program /lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper: Success [00:45] th0r, you aren't using gdm3 then (NOT part of Gnome3 btw) [00:45] I'm having a problem using fdisk. The units to specify the partition size are the wrong units. I don't know how to change it or why it's like that. Need to get on track with this somehow. [00:45] laptop exporting /home partition with NFS, mounting to a folder in desktop's home. For some reason, copying files to laptop is very very slow. Here's my fstab and exports: http://pastebin.com/rFZReatb Anything I can do? It does little bursts, but doesn't go above 1MB/s, and it looks sort of like it's frozen. [00:45] zykotick9: right....gdm 2.2...learn something new every day [00:45] ClientAlive, you can use +100G in fdisk to specify a size [00:46] ClientAlive, since there's nothing on the disk. Why are you not using the simple graphical partitioning tools? (the installer as well can allow manual changes) [00:46] ok, may I share a link? Perhaps this will help explain. [00:46] I've just replaced my HD. This might be related [00:46] ClientAlive, can you state your full problem? Are you using a special blocksize hd ? [00:46] zykotick9, so login screen changin is a no go with gdm? [00:47] In the section entitled "Creating the boot section" http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=4#filesystems [00:47] that's where I'm att [00:47] ClientAlive, dude.. that's gentoo. === Logan_ is now known as | [00:47] my fdisk is off [00:47] VampsDaVamps, with modern versions of GDM it is a MAJOR pain - with very limited themes available [00:47] not like in the manual [00:47] i'm studk === | is now known as Logan_ [00:47] It's extramely complicated [00:47] ClientAlive, #gentoo.. you're in ubuntu man. [00:47] VampsDaVamps, ubuntu-tweak (or whatever it's called) offers a couple of themes [00:48] I'm building getoo and will run raid 5 and lvm2 with grub 2 [00:48] zykotick9, is there a dm that will [00:48] I'm just trying to make partitions on all my disks right now. [00:48] fdisk, for me, is showing my disk in a different unit that what I need it to [00:48] VampsDaVamps, i don't know - i pretty much stick to gdm for the last several years (5+ anyways), but KDM might? [00:48] * yagoo thinks people who point urls about other distros should go to #distro. Period. [00:49] there isn't a soul at the gentoo channel right now and I just spent the last 8 hrs learning what I need to do to make this happen [00:49] now I'm ready to do it and this happens === Logan_ is now known as ^^ [00:49] then join a gentoo mailing list [00:50] I don't have a clue what to even google for or i'd do that [00:51] ClientAlive, #gentoo has 800+ people right now?! [00:51] anybody? [00:52] zykotick9, if u look at all that he's been saying, he pretty much is not listening to other people's advices to use hte ubuntu installer to partition edit.. Now he just recently says he's using gentoo. Some people. [00:52] and they're all coming and going and that's all they're doing [00:52] I been on that channel with my question the last 20 min and not a hint of any help [00:52] ClientAlive, gentoo isn't support here, period. you could try ##linux if you wished - but not here. [00:53] gee [00:53] thanks [00:54] that's called a "cop-out" [00:54] Maybe if he went to Gentoo and asked about Ubuntu ... he'd get more help? [00:54] it's not like I haven't spent hrs of my time helping others [00:55] what's more -- I'm asking about "fdisk [00:55] * yagoo thinks ClientAlive is spamming [00:55] of course [00:56] ClientAlive, in your choice of distro you should consider what level of support offerings there are [00:56] how is it wrong to come and ask a non distro specific question [00:56] I seriously don't get it. I've tried lots of different options, and copying to a mounted nfs share is barely functional. changed and omitted rsize and wsize, tried async and sync, no_subtree_check and subtree_check, with and without nohide [00:57] and why would I not feel offended when someone uses that cop out w/ me when I myself spend hrs of my own time helping others [00:57] ?? [00:57] ClientAlive: because this channel is for Ubuntu technical support. You're not using Ubuntu. Therefore, your question is not on-topic here. Quit going on about it. [00:57] you can have yourselves [00:57] he's spammin.. he'll just pop in again and mock us.. some people. [00:59] ClientAlive, and if you know very little about partitions are you sure gentoo is a wise choice [00:59] robin0800, he's gone. [01:01] bazhang, good [01:01] I've got a problem installing Ubuntu; but this time a different problem. I installed an alternate version of Ubuntu onto my flash drive, with some different drivers, etc. Picking "run Ubuntu from this USB" does nothing, and just restarts the launcher. [01:01] BlueProtoman, mint? [01:01] Can some of you please tell me your current / default permissions and ownership for /lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper ? [01:02] Trying to boot from Help tells me the kernel is missing. [01:02] BlueProtoman, what is the "alternate version" [01:03] gtozzi: -rwsr-xr-- 1 root messagebus [01:04] alpicola: ty [01:05] Anyone? [01:05] BlueProtoman, what is the "alternate version" === marigabo is now known as egoflux [01:11] Anyone? Hello? [01:11] How long has KDE for ARM been in the repos? [01:12] BlueProtoman: did you ever answer about which "alternate version" of Ubuntu you're running? (got dropped for a minute) [01:13] Not anything like Kubuntu, etc. Filename is ubuntu-11.04-alternate-amd64+mac.iso [01:13] BlueProtoman, amd64+mac ? [01:15] bazhang: it is listed here, fwiw: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/11.04/release/ - looks official ;-) [01:16] BlueProtoman, md5/shasum [01:16] Hold on [01:16] hi how can I use resize2fs to extend a ext4 partition to maximum size by including the free space? [01:16] yeats, yep thanks [01:17] BlueProtoman, whats the exact error? does it say it cannot find the cd? [01:17] FluxD, if u use that.. it doesnt resize the partition entry.. it's easier to use gparted live cd (it resizes both partition entry and filesystem header info) [01:17] yagoo, I am in a non gui environment [01:18] bazhang: No, hold on. [01:18] bazhang: Could not find kernel image: /casper/vmlinuz [01:18] Upon inspection of the flash drive, I see no such folder or file. [01:18] FluxD, maybe parted does both (cli) [01:19] yagoo, it does not support ext4 right? [01:19] BlueProtoman, md5 the iso? did you use unetbootin to create this? some other method? [01:19] USB Universal Installer [01:19] And I'm still working on it, I'm doing three things at once. [01:19] FluxD, i don't know.. you'd probably like to ask #kernel.. [01:19] hello? [01:20] can someone help me with an audio problem? [01:20] FluxD, http://gparted.sourceforge.net/features.php [01:20] darktwiget, ask the channel [01:21] FluxD, i'm guessing if gparted can do it, then parted can [01:21] bazhang: The MD5 checks out. [01:21] ask the channel? [01:21] yagoo I dont think parted supports ext4 [01:21] darktwiget, with lots of details [01:21] FluxD, not sure if gparted uses the same library.. [01:21] so just ask the question? [01:22] BlueProtoman, ok. I've always used unetbootin for that no experience with the Universal one [01:22] Universal is reportedly more reliable. The issue here is a missing file, or a wrong parameter. [01:23] Any thoughts? [01:24] yagoo, Here is output from parted http://pastebin.ca/2088527 [01:24] hi, my sda drive is being read as a "udf" after a botched dd operation. how do i fix my drive? creating a new partition table isn't helping. [01:24] yagoo, I want to extend the free space into last partition [01:24] so my headphones and output speakers dont work and its not in the hardware under sound preferences [01:24] BlueProtoman: you might try re-creating the USB with unetbootin? [01:25] Any other thoughts before I go that far? [01:25] I'd really like to know if there's some magic parameter or something first. [01:25] BlueProtoman: it shouldn [01:25] 't be that complicated ;-) [01:25] You have no idea what I've gone through in the past day trying to get Linux on this damned new laptop. [01:26] BlueProtoman: I might have an idea ;-) [01:26] FluxD, i always use gparted, (i have no problems resizing ext3, even ntfs)-- it's the only tool i trust for partition table editing.. (i believe part of gparted is in the ubuntu installer) [01:26] * yeats has installed Linux on many different systems (not Mac though) [01:26] FluxD, good thing u have gpt.. u definitely want to use it on that drive [01:27] FluxD, you should look into raid setup, especially with that much data.. [01:27] yagoo, it is raid 0 [01:28] FluxD, shouldnt there be a raid partition? [01:28] Where do i get pam-keyring-tool from? [01:28] yagoo, my remote server control panel did all that, I know its already raid 0 [01:29] courpse, a key tool for .deb ? [01:29] What? :/ [01:29] I'm just trying to stop this damn keyring prompt on boot when autologin is set. [01:31] FluxD, um.. shouldn't u use at the least raid 1? [01:31] courpse, you're looking for keytools for what? [01:31] hey can anyone help me, i cant open jave jnlp files, i keep getting this error http://pastebin.com/X6C1AfR1 [01:31] pam-keyring-tool is called. [01:31] meek, i think u need the java starter package.. it's probably called webstart or something.. [01:31] yagoo, I need the space :) [01:31] apparently came with libpam-keyring in jaunty. [01:31] where can i get that? [01:32] meek, apt-cache search pam|grep -i ring [01:32] execuse me, is anybody here using btrfs? [01:33] notsure what that did yagoo [01:33] holmescn, whats the real question [01:33] yagoo, Ta. [01:33] meek, it searched for a package .. [01:33] meek, It was for me i feel. [01:33] meek, u want libpam-gnome-keyring ? [01:34] nope, i do, :) [01:34] i need java webstart [01:34] is there something wrong with synaptic? I cant update my package lists [01:34] i cant open jave jnlp files, i keep getting this error http://pastebin.com/X6C1AfR1 [01:34] courpse, meant to u .. [01:34] * yagoo apt-cache search pam|grep -i ring [01:35] yagoo, We had already sorted that out, :P [01:35] i want to test btrfs, but all i can found in google is using btrfs as root device partition format. but i want to use it on an non-root partition [01:35] lol. [01:35] i cannot get the write permition [01:35] I've got it now, i've set my keyring to null, its only a media box amnyway. [01:35] Thanks,.

[01:39] my /dev/sda12 is a btrfs partition [01:40] use default , mount the fs, then chown the dir [01:40] or chmod [01:40] holmescn, see its manpage.. (apropos btrfs) [01:40] MontgoDB, but i want to mount it in fstab [01:40] * yagoo says "manpage " works good on google too [01:41] i have go through btrfs manpage several times, nothing helpful [01:41] holmescn: ok, mount it , tail /etc/mtab , then add that line to /etc/fstab [01:42] for example I have ... /dev/sdb1 /data ext4 rw,commit=0 0 0 Yours should just have btrfs instead of ext4 [01:43] MontgoDB: tail /etc/mtab? it is simply the same. [01:43] MontgoDB: my fstab is that /dev/sda12 /meida/LinuxData btrfs defaults,user 0 0 [01:44] holmescn, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/btrfs [01:44] yagoo i have seen that. [01:44] holmescn: ok, maybe I'm not understanding what you are trying to do exactly. You have a filesystem that you want to mount on startup (add whatever is in /etc/mtab right now for that filesystem to /etc/fstab), you also want the root for that filesystem writable by some non-root user. Correct? [01:45] holmescn, take out user.. [01:45] MontgoDB: yes, i want a non-root user to write it. [01:45] holmescn: so your fstab entry, as it is now, is not causing that filesystem to mount? [01:45] or is it just mounted but not writable by your non-root user. [01:46] it can be mounted, but not writable [01:46] holmescn, did u try uid ? [01:46] (or gid?) [01:46] yes [01:47] do you have the correct filesystem? [01:47] gid, uid and umask are all illegal options [01:47] module-assistant auto-install btrfs; modprobe btrfs ? [01:47] (apt-get install btrfs btrfs-progs module-assistant) ? [01:47] egoflux: i think yes, because it can be mounted. [01:47] if it is already mounted, chown or chmod the filesystem to be writable by that user...

[01:58] xXselkiesXx: locate dosbox [01:58] hello [01:59] Also, yaggo, asking for help with dosbox is reasonable in this channel, as it is an Ubuntu package. xXselkiesXx, how did you create the directory? [01:59] i use ubuntu. i want to install fedora. Will i have any problem? [01:59] meh [01:59] munikar, fedora? [01:59] munikar: That is too general of a question to answer. [01:59] I'm sure.. [01:59] munikar: you will have many many problems [02:00] don't do that [02:00] fedora is helpful in here.. unless there are objections. [02:00] why "don't do that" ?

[02:01] i mounted /home as C: in dosbox, then installed a program as C:\DESCENT_ [02:01] munikar: #fedora. And install Fedora if you like. Be aware that there are some notable differences between Fedora and Ubuntu. [02:01] and, will ubuntu 11.04 work smoothly on my old desktop with 2.2GHz Processor and 256 MB RAM ??? [02:01] munikar: #fedora have also support on freenode, but you could look it thought in virtualbox first. [02:01] Tohuw: Like what? [02:01] munikar: no. [02:01] munikar: I'd upgrade the RAM, but the processor is fair game. [02:02] qin, good point. [02:02] munikar: 256mb of ram is very little for linux with xserver. [02:02] #join ubuntu-es [02:02] munikar: i think not [02:02] * yagoo remembers trying long long ago dosbox.. and not everything works in it.. Virtualbox/vmware is the way to go.

[02:03] So up, login screen settings does nothing on natty? [02:03] anyone help with installind video card driver, [02:03] pr0tocoldan, yah.. u can simply use gparted live cd.. (warning the UUID may change) [02:03] xXselkiesXx: ls -l /home [02:03] thank you yagoo [02:03] pr0tocoldan, if the UUID is changed, u'll have to boot and edit /etc/fstab to reflect the new UUID [02:04] #ubuntu -es [02:04] ,/rescue boot/ [02:04] xXselkiesXx: Does 'ls -a ~ | grep dosbox' return anything? [02:04] yagoo: The UUID of existing filesystems won't change simply by adding another filesystem on a different partition. [02:04] Jordan_U, dunno.. would resizing change it? [02:04] hola como hago para entrar en el chat pero en el servidor español [02:04] yagoo: No. [02:04] i'm a noob... i appologize, i dont really understand lol [02:04] ok [02:04] * yagoo scracthes head with uncetainty [02:05] tulio: escribe /join #ubuntu-es [02:05] xXselkiesXx: In terminal: ls -l /home [02:05] yagoo: Nothing changes the UUID except explicitly doing it or making an entirely new filesystem (after deleting the original). [02:05] gracias mi pana [02:05] xXselkiesXx: Open terminal and type ls -a ~ | grep dosbox and press enter. [02:05] Jordan_U, and what tool do u use for filesystem/partition size changing? [02:06] yagoo: It doesn't really matter. [02:06] Jordan_U, so i can verify.. [02:06] nmind. [02:06] Jordan_U:then how does the UUID calculate? [02:06] !uuid | holmescn, yagoo [02:06] holmescn, yagoo: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [02:06] yagoo: I tend to use [g]parted, but what I have said is true no matter what tools you use. [02:07] holmescn: They are generated using a random number generator when the filesystem is first created. [02:08] its says .dosbox in red txt [02:08] Jordan_U, u cant say that for certainty for other tools u never used.. [02:09] yagoo: Yes, I can. There is absolutely no reason for any tool to change the UUID of a filesystem when it resizes it. [02:09] lol [02:09] no reason to scream at me. [02:09] you could be wrong u know. === jincreator1 is now known as jincreator [02:10] yagoo: u is not a word and Jordan_U is rarely wrong. [02:11] !u | yagoo [02:11] yagoo: U is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet. Neither 'U' nor 'Ur' are words in the English language. Neither are 'R', 'Y', 'l8', 'Ne1' nor 'Bcuz'. Mangled English is hard for non-native English speakers. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/abbreviations/ for more information. [02:12] feels like some talk back like a robocop. [02:12] bzz [02:13] yagoo: i think here is the stardard english channel. [02:14] yagoo: Jordan_U is correct, and provably so. If you can demonstrate an instance where he is incorrect, using a reasonably standard partition editing tool, then do so. Until then, you're arguing technical details out of your league. [02:14] 'login screen' settings does nothing on natty? [02:14] Or cached or something? [02:15] Tohuw, I only gave a warning if the UUID may change. I have past experience of the UUID changing from some miscellenous partition editing usage. [02:15] yagoo: Tohuw: bastidrazor: This is not a productive discussion. Could we please move on so that we're not cluttering the channel? [02:15] I'll cut it short. I'm closed on this. [02:15] Ubuntu installer's giving me problems with the DHCP protocol, should I skip it for now? [02:16] BlueProtoman: yes, you can just skip it for now. It either isn't finding your network card, or having an issue reaching the dhcp server. [02:16] BlueProtoman: it will be easier to troubleshoot after install. Just don't bother selecting to download updates or the third-party options. [02:16] Is it because I don't have it connected to Wi-fi, maybe? [02:17] BlueProtoman: If that is your only means of connection, then yes, that's why. Check the network icon in the upper-left (if it shows up) [02:17] Tohuw: upper-right? [02:18] Ah, OK. I don't have an ethernet cable right now, so... [02:18] exit [02:19] holmescn: Yes. If it successfully finds his card, network-manager will start and display in the tray. [02:19] Can someone walk me through partitioning? I wanna reserve some space for Windows (about 45GB?), and leave the rest for Ubuntu. [02:20] Problem is, I don't really know what I'm doing here. [02:21] This Ubuntu stuff is exciting. [02:21] BlueProtoman: How big is hard drive? [02:22] BlueProtoman, get ready to fix the bootloaders if u want multi-boot [02:22] What a glorious day it will be when I no longer have to put up with this single gig of RAM... [02:22] where can i find the "default" folder that houses the sound pack in natty? [02:22] qin: 750 GB, and there are three partitions as of now; 104.9MB for the system, 728.7 for Windows, and 21.3 for Windows restoration [02:22] yagoo: And how might I do that? [02:23] qin: In GB by the way, except for the first partition [02:23] BlueProtoman, fix grub after windows install (ubuntu rescue cd-- same as install cd), then maybe use paragon rescue kit cd (to fix winbloze bootloader) [02:23] But Windows is already installed. [02:23] It came as such with my laptop. [02:24] BlueProtoman: You can, create one partition (fat) of 45GB, it need to be primary, and install M$ on it, then install Ubuntu. === yosjeon_ is now known as moya [02:25] BlueProtoman: Oh, so you do not have M$ disk? [02:26] r [02:26] MS disk? I think I do, somewhere. I can always pirate one if need be. [02:26] he doesnt need one.. (paragon rescue kit is free) [02:27] BlueProtoman: Resising is also option, but reinstall is easier, since you do not need system and restore, do you?

[03:09] comitt oh so you mean restoring the contents of the deleted partition?

[03:15] all irc clients are terrible, but konversation is bearable [03:15] dorkmafia: i use pidgin which integrates all my chats+irc together [03:15] pidgin is a bit annoying if you plan to use only irc, but good if you have many chat accounts [03:16] comitt : Were the partitions deleted ?? Or the grub is deleted ? [03:16] yeah, it's a good all around ... if I was just using irc i would use irssi [03:17] my panel is broken and does not show all of my windows. [03:17] how do I fix this? [03:17] mk use something like docky [03:17] ubuntu panels are not all that helpful [03:17] *linux panels [03:18] I just need it to show all of my windows [03:18] dorkmafia: I personally prefer xchat ;) [03:18] mk, there are multiple releases and desktops can you narrow this down. [03:18] latest ubuntu, default [03:19] I don't really want a mac-style launcher like docky, though it looks nice === chocolates_ is now known as chocolates [03:19] i've been using it for a couple years .. best way to manage apps imo [03:19] unity/gnome 3 is like stabbing myself in the eye [03:19] the panel usually works, but whenever I plug my laptop into my lcd a bunch of windows stop showing up [03:20] mk alt+tab [03:20] !panels | mk [03:20] mk: To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [03:20] mk, the default is unity are you using, or have you tried the classic desktop [03:20] once you customize unity, its actually kind of nice [03:20] marzen: I use alt tab, but sometimes I don't want to [03:20] I turned off unity [03:20] unity is crap for dual monitors, which unfortunately is most of linuxs base [03:21] *desktop base [03:21] I suspect that this has something to do with dual screens. I think windows on different screens don't show up? [03:21] mk, there are tons of probs w/ ubuntu and dual monitors [03:21] especially if you don't use typical left/right orientation [03:21] i don't have these issues w/ arch+gnome which i find odd [03:21] the search means i can get to the terminal by hitting the windows button + te _enter [03:21] just ubuntu [03:22] very quiick [03:22] alt-tab can still see all of my different windows, why can't my panel? [03:22] I think it's just a setting somewhere, but I don't know what to look for [03:22] mk, look at add to panel right click the panel [03:22] alright [03:22] which one should I add? [03:23] mk, depends on what you want, just go to the bottom of the list there are several. [03:23] mk, been awile since I used gnome2 so I forget the names. [03:23] I want a window list, but that only shows half of my windows... the ones on the current screen [03:24] does anyone know how to upgrade from natty to maverick? [03:24] openfly, you have ut bacwards [03:24] the "window selector" does give me all of the windows, but in an annoying popup [03:24] : It's downgrade.. [03:24] is it as simple as upping the package internal versions for the entire mirror of the maverick tree to reflect reality? [03:24] it* [03:24] openfly, you mean the reverse [03:24] i disagree [03:25] in my opinion maverick is an upgrade from natty [03:25] and i shall refer to it as such [03:25] where can I find the settings for the stuff in my panel? [03:25] openfly, downgrade? sure [03:25] so seriously... how is there no roll back functionality? [03:25] openfly, this channel is for exacting help don't convolute it with a rediculous opinion. [03:26] openfly: i agree .. I've stepped back to 10.10 until gnome 2 fork goes mainstream [03:26] openfly, full reinstall. you have a separate home partition, right? [03:26] openfly: downgrading is explicitly not supported by ubuntu [03:26] marzen, gnome 2 is forked in arch [03:26] urlin2u: called mate right? [03:26] so question remains.. is the only means of rolling back to maverick... LITERALLY upgrading to maverick... as in upping the package version for every single package in the maverick mirror above that of natty? [03:26] marzen, yeah [03:26] i don't use gnome in arch though, i use xfce [03:27] because i swear to god i am half tempted to do it. [03:27] openfly : The simple method is to format the machine.. ;) [03:27] i'll host a maverick upgrade mirror [03:27] openfly: reinstall. [03:27] i swear to god i will [03:27] openfly: I have no idea what you're saying when you say "upgrade" to maverick [03:27] stop swearing and do it then. let us know how it works out for you. [03:27] well apt won't downgrade right? [03:28] so... to get maverick on you'd have to make maverick and upgrade above natty [03:28] mk, He's implying that 11.x is a downgrade [03:28] if you want help, call it a rollback. If you want to say that nat sucks, you can do it in fewer words [03:28] not in this case marzen [03:28] openfly: no, you have to reinstall. This is the proper and sane way to do what you want [03:28] i quite literally mean setting up the maverick package repot to be a version ahead of natty [03:28] so that it will LITERALLY upgrade to the maverick packages [03:28] openfly: have fun destroying your computer [03:28] you know... mk i think i might [03:28] remember to back up [03:29] i mean on the list of perverted and awesome bad ideas i've had this week... [03:29] this one ranks fairly high [03:29] mk : ;) [03:29] and if it works i can literally setup a mirror for upgrading to maverick from natty [03:29] where can I find the settings for all the stuff in my panel? [03:29] which would cause havok no doubt [03:29] openfly 10.x required packages that have been removed in 11.04. Your system will not be stable. [03:29] openfly : It;s a downgrade and stop srguing.. [03:29] !ot | openfly [03:30] openfly: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [03:30] RobbieCrash yeah i get you, but if you up the internal package version for the entire mirror of maverick [03:30] openfly: like I said, "rolling back", however you choose to do it, is explicitly not supported. As in, things will surely break and nobody in this channel will help you. [03:30] apt will see all of maverick's packages as the next logical rev of the packages [03:30] and install them [03:30] openfly, thats enough [03:30] thusly overwriting all of natty's [03:31] it MIGHT actually work [03:31] i've decided this channel is comprised of mostly bipolar people [03:31] openfly: feel free to try it. But stop discussing it here. We've told you the proper way to achieve your goal [03:31] jrib bazhang and marzen you are now on ignore [03:31] ignore bazhang all [03:31] what is the ubuntu settings manager? [03:32] bazhang : great job... ;) [03:32] mk, i can't remember the exact syntax but there's a menu that allows you to adjust almost all settings [03:33] mk, gconf editor [03:33] alt+f2 -- gconf-editor [03:33] yeah that sounds right [03:34] yes, that's it, thanks === tum is now known as Guest45290 [03:41] can anyone help me. im trying to open a jnlp file and it wont open [03:41] moonunitzappa: javaws opens [03:41] moonunitzappa: javaws opens it [03:41] yea but i keep getting an error [03:42] im trying to get it, i just rebooted and now it wont even run so i cant get the error [03:42] how can i run jnlp in the term? [03:43] hehe, Lucky coin? thats from No Country for Old Men, and only reason to laugh is hairdo. [03:44] oh... fail. [03:44] my system has suddenly reverted to some funky xwindows style theme, I can't seem to fix it [03:48] what tool is the best for making usb-install media? [03:48] anyone? [03:48] i like unetbootin [03:49] yagoo: unetbootin [03:50] Can anyone help me? I've installed Ubuntu, and dual-boot it with Windows 7 via GRUB. However, when I pick Ubuntu, I just get a blinking cursor. I can access its shell, though. [03:51] hey folks, what is equivalent application to linux as anydvd is to windows ? [03:51] when trying to open a JNLP i get this error http://pastebin.com/Nyndkik4 anyone know why? [03:52] BlueProtoman: I was getting this sometimes. I found a soplution to login with shell, sudo dpkg --configure -a, then try again [03:52] I mean like for backing up my dvd's [03:52] Thanks, will try. [03:52] BlueProtoman: can't promise anything, but won't do any harm [03:55] somsip: Nope, still just a blinking curspor. [03:55] BlueProtoman: ah. Worth a try. Does dmesg give any clues? [03:55] I'm trying to enable remote logging on my ubuntu 10.10 box. I have edited /etc/default/syslog and -r. to RSYSLOGD line. But when i look at the process i see only rsyslogd -c4, and netstat -nua does not see 514 [03:55] What am i doing wrong? [03:58] somsip: None that I can decipher. [03:58] BlueProtoman: might be worth creating a pastebin in case others can take a look for you [04:00] I installed Ubuntu x64 and I find it really sluggish. Is the x86 version the same? [04:00] Deihmos, sluggish [04:00] ? [04:00] Did you install with Wubi? [04:00] BlueProtoman, Wubi is not recommended [04:01] BlueProtoman, are u using wubi? [04:01] No. [04:01] I'm asking if Deihmos did. [04:01] slow [04:02] things take long to load and the UI is laggy [04:02] Deihmos, Wubi will be slow and expected to be slow. Wubi is meant to "check out".. [04:02] firefox woud take a few seconds just to open [04:02] Also, even Ubuntu has minimum requirements. [04:02] Deihmos, nobody here uses wubi. [04:02] who said I was using wubi [04:03] I installed it to an SSD drive [04:03] well u don't answer but complain.. so i'm assuming you're either talking to yourself or trying to be annoying [04:03] No one. I just asked if you were. [04:04] should put the nick. [04:04] Hello! I'm running Ubuntu on a PC and trying to install openvpn. The first step of the guide tells me to install openvpn by using "apt-get install openvpn" and so I did. The second step of the guide tells me to "Extract your downloaded configuration files into /home//openvpn directory", but there's no such directory to be found. Why? :/ [04:06] burntodisc, it may be ~/.openvpn (~ meaning /home/) [04:06] burntodisc: you'd need to create that directory. but generally, openvpn is configured via files in /etc [04:07] yagoo: I'm not finding it. [04:08] arghx: So, should I create the directory or put the files in the /etc/openvpn directory? [04:08] depends on your howto you are following [04:09] I'm trying to enable remote logging on my ubuntu 10.10 box. I have edited /etc/default/syslog and -r. to RSYSLOGD line. But when i look at the process i see only rsyslogd -c4, and netstat -nua does not see port 514 open. What am i doing wrong? [04:09] arghx: Would it be to pm you the steps?

[04:13] arghx: The directory is nowhere to be found. :/ [04:13] burntodisc: create it [04:14] wassup my niggas [04:15] buhman: Please don't use that sort of language. [04:15] Hi, I have 4-5 bad sector on my hd, during install ubuntu do not complain, but what ubuntu do with those bad sector? do ubuntu knows where they are and forbind access to those? [04:15] fuck you pangwhore [04:15] anyone have a favorite clipboard manager? [04:15] !ops buhman [04:16] launch: if you use 'disk utility' you can run a scan on your drive. look for it in the 'smart utilities' section. most bad sectors are handled automagically by the drive itself, remapping the data into good sectors. that window will tell you if your drive only has a few, or if the number of bad sectors crosses a threshold that implies your disk might be dying. its common for disks to have a few bad sectors. [04:17] launch: have you run a full (long) SMART test? [04:17] launch: by 'smart utilities' i mean 'SMART data' <- you can find the button on the right side after selecting the drive. as arghx, Id run a long test. [04:17] erm, as arghx suggested. [04:18] sammy: how do you know there are bad sectors? [04:18] cause if there are, there usually more and more and the disk is soon dead [04:18] sammy: thanks [04:18] i recently had to reinstall grub, now the version is 2.6.32-11 how do i get it to upgrade to the newest version, update manager thinks i have -34 i guess idk but its not offering upgrades for grub [04:19] arghx: SMART will report bad sectors, but theres an entire section of drive reserved for remapping bad sectors onto. SMART will report a disk as 'healthy' even if there are a handful of bad sectors, iirc [04:19] though, I agree, if its any more than a few, or if the number increases, especially regularly I'd consider replacing the drive. thats how I understood it to work, anyhow. [04:20] in fact I might consider making sure your backup solution is solid, launch. [04:20] sammy: so the hard disk remap the data? linux do nothing? [04:21] launch: pretty much. there is a "badblocks" program and ext3 can mark sectors as bad but not all filesystems can [04:21] and SMART is a much better way to deal with bad sectors than any other way [04:22] launch: the hard disk will no longer use the bad sector, and instead of writing to it, will write to the reserved space. but arghx is right, a long SMART test is what you should run. === zoom is now known as robonautwa [04:23] arghx: sammy thanks [04:23] launch: after it, you should pay close attention to 'current pending sector count' if this is over the threshold after the test, immediately back up the data and replace the drive. [04:23] launch: excuse me, the 'uncorrectable sectors; value. [04:24] google is your friend, as always. so, anyone have a favorite clipboard manager? parcellite? glipper? [04:24] last question, when i install ubuntu do it scan for it [04:24] i mean at install it check for bad sector? [04:24] launch: it doesn't. but you can scan with the live cd [04:24] sammy glx-dock's clipper [04:24] arghx: thanks [04:25] a scan takes usually around 2 hours approx [04:25] So.. I was trying to get a dual boot setup of Win7 and Ubuntu where I had 1 partition for Win7, another for Ubuntu, and a third neutral partition accessible from either OS where I would house all of my data. The problem is, my computer already had 3 partitions set up: Win7, the system boot partition, and one called PQService. Because I could not find a tutorial to delete pqservice, I decided to delete my system partition, even thoug [04:28] PhaoraohOner: you are not limited to 3 partitions on a hard drive, you can make as many as you want [04:28] zelozelos: cairo dock. interesting. any praise for it over avant window manager? [04:28] PhaoraohOner: you can install ubuntu inside a extended partition. windows needs a primary one [04:29] So what do either of you suggest that i do? [04:29] resize existing partitions and create however many you'd like [04:29] PhaoraohOner, the best way to do what u're wanting is to completely format the drive, set up the 1st partition for 7, leave the rest unallocated, then install 7, then ubuntu, leaving room for the neutral part, and formatting it after install, keep in mind, windows cannot read any ext formatting, it must be ntfs [04:29] windows can read ext [04:30] http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2read/ [04:30] so theres no way to revive my windows without reinstalling? [04:30] which one did you delete [04:30] System [04:30] which system [04:30] PhaoraohOner: don't do what zelozelos said cause it would erase your recovery partitions. and for what you want to do, you need to have a physical windows install cd [04:30] sammy i love cairo dock, its easy to tweak and has lots of options, addons and other stuff [04:31] PhaoraohOner: we cannot help recovering windows. this is a ubuntu ONLY channel [04:31] PhaoraohOner, True dont erase your hd if u need the recovery partition [04:31] PhaoraohOner, but i do suggest it if you have the sys disk [04:31] i dont have the disk [04:31] thats the problem [04:32] how do i find a disk? [04:32] what manufacturer? [04:32] or whatever files from that disk i would need [04:32] Gateway [04:32] PhaoraohOner: again: NOT a ubuntu problem [04:32] what did you do after you deleted the partition [04:32] PhaoraohOner: please ask a windows channel or the tech support of your PC manufacturer [04:32] arghx: calm down [04:33] "Cannot grant permissions to unsigned jars" [04:33] you'll have 2 get one from them, it should be around 20bucks, now u need to set up the partitions for windows 1st, then install win, then shrink the volume for ubuntu [04:33] yeah man, i know this is a windows question, but its all in an effort to get ubuntu lol [04:33] can anyone help me with that [04:33] PhaoraohOner: what did you do after you deleted the partition [04:33] Ben64: recovering windows is anot part of #ubuntu. please go to ubuntu-offtopic or any other channel for windows support. thank you [04:33] ben64 can we go to pm? [04:33] sure if you'd rather [04:34] zelozelos: I may give it a try. im currently running on a single atom chromebook, so I might end up passing on a gl dock to save resources. [04:34] Anyone know what Ubuntu uses to create the ~/.gvfs/iPhone/com.* directories? [04:34] Hemebond: gnome automounter? [04:34] arghx: I meant what packages/utils. [04:34] sammy, id pass as well, there is one that works with the panel, but i dont know what its called [04:34] .gvfs is a very very explicity hint for gnome virtual filesystem aka the automounter [04:36] glipper and parcellite both do. I ran one for a while but I dont remember which -oh! maybe ill try both at the same time... [04:37] why not rofl [04:39] Anyone know why the wifi manager on KDE4 refuses to connect? [04:40] Netham45, its a bio$%#tch install gnome network manager after uninstalling it === bryan is now known as Guest3347 [04:41] arghx: So it's something in autofs? [04:41] arghx: I'll have a read. [04:43] :name: BryGuy [04:43] hey [04:44] nick/Bryan [04:44] From what we have seen this is not a problem with IGB. Rather it is a bug in recent versions of OpenJDK. Switching to the official Oracle JDK should fix the problem [04:44] can anyone help me do that ^ [04:44] im not sure if im using OPENJDK or Oracle [04:44] wow i cant remember anythign on IRC lol [04:45] i want to switch from openjdk to oracle [04:45] Guest3347, /nick (name) [04:47] moonunitzappa2: just install java-jdk and it will auto-remove openjdk. It did that when I went from java-jdk to open-jdk anyway === Guest66289 is now known as Logan_ [04:51] hello room === iarp is now known as Guest21682 [04:51] I cast detect evil on the room. [04:51] <---not evil [04:51] I havet been on ubuntu since like 7.04 [04:52] just deleted all of vista and am back in the game.... sorta [04:54] sammy: arghx so i need to unmount to scan via the disk utility? it tell me that is busy [04:54] by default, does Natty use Grub legacy or GRUB 2? [04:55] should be grub2 [04:55] ah ok thanks [04:56] bryan__: Are you having a problem? [04:56] well, i expect many [04:56] i was having one === iarp_ is now known as iarp [04:56] guys is this true http://www.andlinux.org/ [04:57] seems i have fixed it [04:57] My usb device appears in "Places", where can I find it in the filesystem? [04:58] linuxuz3r: yes. I used this before moving quickly to Wubi, then quickly moving to dual boot [04:58] hey you guys i created a new user with "useradd new_user" then i did "passwd added_user" to give the user a password...when i logged into ssh with the new user, my terminal didnt say $user@$host: it just had a '$' symbol and when i did "ls", nothing was colored...everything was just one color, all directories, and all files...whats up with this? why is my terminal not saying new_user@my_host: ? [04:59] and why are there no colors [05:00] hexacode, for next time - "adduser foo" is probably better then useradd [05:00] s [05:00] Hello, I have a weird problem with an ubuntu box, it just take all the bandwidth of my network when I connect it. [05:00] Which Ubuntu version runs best in VMware Workstation (and allows Unity with a Windows host)? [05:01] hexacode, but check out /etc/skel for the default .bashrc [05:01] I review the use of the eth0 interface. [05:01] Is it possible to go from 32bit Ubuntu to 64bit without having to re-install the whole O.S. ?? [05:01] thanks zykotick9 [05:01] Even I disabled the interface and still have this problem. [05:01] vmware is pretty damn versatile and i would imagine the latest 2 ubuntu versions would work just fine [05:01] RudyValencia, VMWare can't do Unity/Compiz - VBox can do it to a limited extent [05:02] ah [05:02] ridz16: No easy way for that [05:02] I should probably dual-boot then [05:02] ridz16: when I wanted to do this I did find a reference to a website that explained how to do it, but recommendations were that is was simpler to delete and start again [05:02] ridz16: And technically you would have to remove each OS component and replace it 1 by 1 [05:02] GirlyGirl, somsip, oh i see.. oh well. [05:03] RudyValencia, i run vbox on a 7 desktop and have ubuntu with unity on it running fine.. [05:03] ridz16: I ended up dual booting to a new install of 64, copying over any configs I could use from 32, and keeping 32 as a backup. Which I ended up needing after a disk death [05:03] when i download a file using wget, it apear "Segmentation fault" what's that mean? [05:03] I wasn't talking about "Unity" as in the new interface, I was talking about having integration with the Windows side [05:04] RudyValencia, oh sorry - that i'm not sure about VMware - certainly VBox can to the seamless thing [05:04] s/to/do/ [05:04] Hello, I have a weird problem with an ubuntu box, it just take all the bandwidth of my network when I connect it. I review the use of the eth0 interface. Even I disabled the interface and still have this problem. [05:05] Any VirtualBox users in here? [05:05] burntodisc, ask your real question - or ask in #vbox [05:06] julio33: run iptraf to see what ses up your bandwith [05:07] Yeah arghx i ran iptraf and I can't see nothing irregular, not a big consumption. [05:07] i'm waiting for the answer.... thanks... [05:07] then how do you know anything consumes your bandwith in the first place? [05:07] samsul, segfault is basically when a program crashes... but perhaps you knew that. [05:08] burntodisc, i use it frequently [05:08] samsul: that could be for a lot of things, basically it crashes it could be libraries, it could be the binary. [05:08] samsul try to reinstall [05:08] samsul or try to update [05:08] samsul: run wget under strace to see where it crashes [05:08] also: try another program like curl maybe [05:09] arghx good question, I have only 2 boxes, and when I use the linux box the other machine using wget went from 100KB/s to 0.1KB/s [05:09] check your switch or your router if the ubuntu box actually does data transfers [05:10] zelozelos: What is the currently recommended way of installing VirtualBox in Ubuntu 11.04 or 11.10? Did you download the .deb package from their site? [05:10] burntodisc, no the rpm offers the latest build (the "unstable" version) [05:11] arghx That's the strange thing, I disable the interface in the upper part of the screen and then still the other machine is slow, I was thinking that maybe is an error from the switch. [05:11] burntodisc, are u trying to run win 8? [05:12] zelozelos: No, I have Mac OS X Lion on a disc and I need to install it using VirtualBox. :> [05:12] how hard would it be to install ubuntu on a mac? [05:12] and are there any downfalls? [05:12] moonunitzappa2: Most of the time it works out well, we have a whole section dedicated to it on our Wiki I beleive [05:12] !mac | moonunitzappa2 [05:12] moonunitzappa2: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [05:13] ty [05:14] is there an easy way to move the first 750GB worth of files from one dir to another? [05:15] is there a utility to figure out how fast the network is flying on a server? [05:15] as in, 2 mbps. [05:15] bikcmp iftop [05:15] arghx: It's ifuse that does the per-application mounting. [05:15] RobbieCrash: anything other? [05:15] i've tried iftop [05:17] bikcmp: http://sourceforge.net/projects/tespeed/ [05:17] nothing I'm aware of, iftop does exactly that. [05:17] theadmin: that actually was another thing i was looking for [05:17] but that isn't it [05:17] i mean as in [05:17] this server is putting out 1 mbps [05:17] and getting 2 mbps [05:18] like just a snapshot? [05:18] active would be cool, but that'd work [05:18] as in, over the past 5 mins, i've done blah [05:18] bikcmp hold on I might have a script still [05:20] sorry bikcmp. nothing I know of [05:20] meh, don't have it anymore, and cba to rewrite, soz === zay is now known as Vladislas [05:22] can someone help me. i tired downloading orcale sdk and now i have a etc and usr file. what do i do ? [05:22] Is there an easy way to move the first 750GB worth of files from one dir to another? that is, I have six TB of data in about 40,000 folders, each with about 100 sub folders, each with between 1 and 2,000 files. File sizes range from 100KB - 7GB. I want to copy the first 750GB + current file worth of data to an external drive, and then the next, etc, until all the data has been copied out. [05:24] RobbieCrash: Idea - write a script which will check the file's size, add it to an overall counter, move the file, repeat, stop once counter has reached 750 (or more) GB. [05:26] theadmin I think that's what I'm gonna have to do. Thanks. [05:27] how can i update java ? [05:28] i have the choice for a rpm or self extract. which would be the easiet [05:28] rpm....... [05:28] ex0: Lies. [05:28] moonunitzappa2: which version are you updating to ? [05:28] ex0: Ubuntu doesn't support rpm [05:28] moonunitzappa2: The self-extracting thing [05:28] NO SHIT [05:28] update 27 [05:28] im on 22 [05:28] RED HAT PACKAGE MANAGER [05:28] moonunitzappa2: so still 6 then ? [05:29] i keep getting an error when trying to open a jnlp [05:29] just kiddin man, thought it was a joke question there THE ADMIN [05:29] yea 6 [05:29] ex0: Some people have no idea about package types, you know [05:29] i think im using opensdk and i need orcale [05:29] is this the way to do it? [05:29] ex0: I often hear questions like "how to install a .tar.gz package" [05:29] yea im a noob sorry [05:29] hmm [05:29] its all good [05:29] moonunitzappa2: yes, have you tried using : apt-cache search java | grep sun [05:29] later [05:30] you mean ept? [05:30] mt [05:31] moonunitzappa2 what do you need java for? [05:31] im trying to use google appinventor [05:31] are you trying to build java apps, or are you just trying to run a java app? [05:31] and i need to run blocksbuilder, which is a jnlp [05:31] ok, does it say you need the jvm or jdk? [05:31] moonunitzappa2: Um, "javaws /path/to/whatever.jnlp" [05:31] moonunitzappa2: no. i definitely meants: apt-cache search java | grep sun [05:32] quick question, how can i login to desktop from remote location if desktop is at the login prompt (gutsy build) [05:32] strigoi66 do you have vnc installed? [05:32] strigoi66: That distro is LONG not supported, but... Let me PM you with details (we don't support EOL distros in the main channel) [05:32] strigoi66: either setup freenx on the remote machine or enable ssh tunnel Xserver (with that xdmp type thing) [05:33] amaazing i think that worked theadmin [05:33] robbiecash yes and i ssh connection as well [05:33] yep [05:33] ty [05:33] strigoi66 are you on the same LAN or are you across the internet? [05:34] robbiecrash: it is same kinda i have a repeater that is wireless on same network [05:35] strigoi66: Details PMed. [05:35] so no firewall? if so, then as long as vnc is started, you should just be able to open your vnc client and point it at the host you want [05:35] if you're not sure if it's started, sshd will probably have started, so ssh in and start whichever vnc server you have installed on it [05:35] alternatively, there's VNC over http [05:36] RobbieCrash: essentially yes but do i have to physically be logged in on that pc for vnc to work or is there a way around [05:36] which you can just load in a browser [05:36] Guys, Gutsy is not supported here. [05:36] strigoi66 if you've got vnc running as a daemon, you should be able to log in from the login prompt [05:37] strigoi66: What IRC client are you using? Can you look at the PMs I sent? That describes everything in the details [05:37] wow, flash sucks [05:37] soreau: Sure does [05:37] I guess an update caused ff to think flash is no longer installed [05:37] Robbiecrash: yeah was just wandering if there was a way that didnt involve me walking outside and unlocking the shop to login? [05:38] strigoi66: *ahem*... Configure automatic login over SSH as stated [05:38] strigoi66: That'd help [05:38] Robbiecrash: thank you for the help as always i do appreciate all the help i can get [05:38] theadmin: thank you [05:38] np [05:39] gah [05:40] Referring to http://www.digitalnow.com.au/product_pages/Quad.html :- What are the chances of this card working "out-of-the-box" with 64bit Oneiric?

[05:46] hey you guys, when i right click a folder and click properties, i get a folder size of 11.5 mb when i do "du -sh folder" i get 14M why the big difference? [05:46] 974 [05:46] probly davidius or work just enuff [05:46] So after an update, firefox says flash is no longer installed. Before the update it was working. I tried reinstalling flashplugin-nonfree and restarting firefox but it didn't help. I'm thinking maybe I should reinstall firefox but I'm not really sure. What should I do to diagnose the problem? [05:47] Currently FF's plugin finder service is taking forever to fail (since it's all but completely useless) [05:48] The add-ons page no longer shows flash either [05:48] soreau: Try installing an extension called "FlashAid", solves all the flash+firefox trouble [05:48] theadmin: ok [05:49] soreau: try "locate libflashplayer.so" [05:49] hey you guys, when i right click a folder and click properties, i get a folder size of 11.5 mb when i do "du -sh folder" i get 14M why the big difference? now properties window on a different folder reads 18.6 mb but "du -sh folder" = 24M why am i getting different file sizes?

Unity -_- [06:20] may go to a older version they worked out the box.

[06:22] chuxxsss: Sorry, but as long as you use Gnome, you *need* pulse, Gnome relies on it heavily. Infact, in GNOME3 ALSA Is no longer even an option. [06:28] chuxxsss, FYI but Pulse actually uses ALSA... [06:28] Hi when trying to install ubuntu 11.04 as dual boot with win7 the grub2 does not work or even show up.. I suspect that it is conencted with the fact that I have two hard disks both show as "system" after hving cloned the win7 installation from an old smaller hd to a new bigger one.. how can I get rid of this duplicate situation? [06:28] bye [06:29] frybye: Did you install through Wubi? [06:29] - at the same time I am very keen not to garbage the win7 installation that I need for work [06:29] i have an image of naked barak obama [06:29] i have an image of naked barak obama [06:29] i have an image of naked barak obama [06:29] i have an image of naked barak obama [06:29] i have an image of naked barak obama [06:29] i have an image of naked barak obama [06:29] i have an image of naked barak obama [06:29] i have an image of naked barak obama [06:30] i have an image of naked barak obama [06:30] i have an image of naked barak obama [06:30] i have an image of naked barak obama [06:30] i have an image of naked barak obama [06:30] i have an image of naked barak obama [06:30] bhansali, stop please [06:30] i have an image of naked barak obama [06:30] no I tried to install after live booting - to even do that I have to set acpi=off [06:31] Just curious are there any PDF LINUX editors to edit Windows Adobe PDF files? [06:32] Polah: I noticed when trying to use win7 to creat a system image for safety - that it shows both the new hd and the old one I cloned from as being "system" even though I reformated the old one - I guess there are two mbr's or whatever? [06:33] Polah - I used acronis true image 11 to do the cloning and also have acronis disk director 11 which could probably be used to fix the above - but not sure how to do it...? [06:34] - and a bit scared of making my win7 unbootable...

[06:35] hey you guys, when i right click a folder and click properties, i get a folder size of 11.5 mb when i do "du -sh folder" i get 14M why the big difference? now properties window on a different folder reads 18.6 mb but "du -sh folder" = 24M why am i getting different file sizes? [06:35] Acronis is a good cloning software. Windows that is. The only problem you may have is once a disk is cloned the drivers for the hardware is the issue. [06:37] Lilac_Underworld: the cloning worked fine - just now the old disk and the new one are both showing up in win7 as "system" hd's - and I need to know how to "delete" or "change" this for the old disk wich has been formated but still has "system" prolerties somehow..(I dont know much about all this stuff...) [06:38] The fact of the matter is if you clone a drive that is it. Drivers are not automatically installed with cloning. Keep that in mind. [06:39] I use Acronis all of the time. It is a great software. [06:39] Lilac_Underworld: that dosen't seem to have been a problem.. but what is a problem is this business of two hd's - both being "system?" [06:39] frybye: are you cling ubuntu-discs or windows-discs? [06:39] where is the clipboard manager in gnome ? [06:40] also can i see the list of copied texts from cli from the clipboard ? [06:40] hey guys, i really need help, suddenly i get this error in my ubuntu when i do ls root@mail:~# ls -bash: /bin/ls: No such file or directory [06:40] iceroot: it was a windows7 hp installation that I cloned - but the real problem showed up when trying to sinstall ubuntu 11.04 as dual boot and it did not work [06:40] My friend formatting and allocating primary and secondary disk allocations is what may be your issue. [06:40] xmaz: you probably dont have ls installed ? :P did you guys do sudo rm -rf /* ? [06:41] no, someone backdoored my machine i think [06:41] the cloneing worked fine - that is not the problem - the problem is just that I now have two spearate hard disks beoth of them "system?" [06:41] not think, i am 100% :/ [06:41] i removed the backdoor, but everything is kinda messed up :S [06:41] xmaz: if there was something like a backdoor (which i cant imaging) reinstall the whole system [06:42] Set your BIOS to designate either one or the other disk to be the Primary Boot Disk. [06:42] Hey!! [06:42] xmaz, did you try to check your PC by AV, if you think youère infected by a backdoor? [06:42] Lilac_Underworld: when you say you use acronis - if I try to sort this with acronis disk director 11 home - how exactly do I do it...? [06:42] so , where is the clipboard manager in gnome ? also how can i see the list of copied texts in the clipboard from cli ? [06:42] hellofoo: Gnome has no default clipboard manager. You can install glipper [06:42] RuJN: I did, it found something called shv, i googled it and found its a backdoor of somesort :S [06:42] i see [06:43] what AV did you use? [06:43] Lilac_Underworld: the win7 boots fine - but when trying to make an image within win7 it says two system disks - and when trying to dual install ubuntu that dosent work [06:43] If you understand the Hard Drive you will understand mirror imaging. What you tell the hard drive to do it will do exactly what you tell it to do. [06:43] theadmin: there once was a OS call Amiga which a directory manager which lost it way call opus. [06:44] Lilac_Underworld: I changed the setting in the bios to get it to boot and that worked... [06:44] Me thinks somehow ubuntu is doing that now [06:44] Dual booting and setting the BIOS is two different things. [06:44] xmaz: are we talking about a linux-backdoor? [06:44] yes [06:45] xmaz: please post a link about this linux-backdoor [06:45] xmaz: i only found windows-links [06:45] xmaz, what antivirus did you use for checking? [06:45] about WAR and peace [06:45] right that is what I am saying - that there is no problem with booting the win7 - the problems I have are not able to install ubuntu to dual boot and the two disks being both system disks - and i dont know how to stop on e of them, being a system disk [06:46] I am pretty sure this could be done with disk director - but dont know enough to do it...

If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [06:46] RuJn: i used rootkit hunter [06:47] DUAL BOOTING has to do with the MBR If it is fooled around with and changed with any settings you will have tons of problems. [06:47] xmaz: can you paste the output of "ps aux" please to pastebin [06:47] that command doesnt work either anymore :) [06:47] root@mail:~# ps aux [06:47] -bash: /bin/ps: No such file or directory [06:47] xmaz: You've gotta reinstall your system. [06:47] Lilac_Underworld: that is what I am scared of... ok - will give this a rest now - I have a neighbour who is clued on such stuff - will try and drag him up here when he has time - by for now... [06:48] xmaz, why are you running as root? [06:48] Lilac_Underworld: and thanks.,.. [06:48] is this a chat?? [06:48] Tony: Duh. [06:48] zykotick9: couse i am used to it :/ [06:48] <[`Richard]> how do i connect to swiftirc network [06:48] <[`Richard]> ? [06:48] If you want I can give you a few tips on the MBR, but you need to proceed with caution. [06:49] theadmin: there is no other way to fix this? i am running 15 websites on this machine and a ftp, that means i ll have to do everything again :S [06:49] Duh??? [06:49] to xmaz: well, rootkit hunter is not a well known av, probably it even isn't it, I would recommend you to check by another, what country are you in? [06:49] Slovenija [06:49] europe [06:49] you guys read menshealth?? [06:50] Tony: "it seems to be, doesn`t it?" [06:50] If you set the MBR it cannot change. [06:50] xmaz: is this working for file in /bin/*; do echo "$file" >> alternate-ls.txt; done [06:50] RuJN, rootkit hunter isn't an anti-virus - but it is a well known rootkit detection tool [06:50] The MBR is how your computer boots up. [06:50] frybye: I recommend backing up your MBRs, particularly partition tables, if you're going to be fiddling with them. [06:50] It is the first 1024 sectors of your hard drive. [06:51] xmaz: also please dont use a root-shell [06:51] Lilac_Underworld, 512 [06:51] iceroot: And just how do you plan on viewing altenate-ls.txt without cat? [06:51] frybye: sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=~/sdambr bs=512 count=1 && sudo dd if=/dev/sdb of=~/sdbmdr bs=512 count=1 [06:51] Lilac: First 512 bytes [06:51] Depending upon your disk allocation. [06:51] xmaz: ok, try for example Dr.Web, Nod32, ArcaVir, they have linux versions. [06:51] Lilac_Underworld, ? [06:51] Lilac_Underworld, huh [06:51] theadmin: you here? [06:51] Polah good point. Thanks. [06:51] fullmetal: Yep, why? [06:52] wait on... [06:52] pm [06:52] RuJN: m8, i removed the rootkit, but it seems that the rootkit somehow fucked my machine :S [06:52] theadmin: sftp, scp, normal browser upload and so on [06:52] iceroot: Oh, interesting. [06:53] The best thing is to do a CLEAN INSTALL which is a CLEAN format and a CLEAN Low and high level format. [06:53] theadmin: also if there is no /bin/ anymore, how he can run /bin/bash as login-shell? [06:53] iceroot: Presumably it was left running before it was removed [06:53] zykotick9: thanks, so it is not a good idea to use antirootkit for detecting non-rootkit malware. Can you restore system from removing rootkit? [06:53] theadmin: possible [06:54] Now the LILO or Boot Loader can be installed. [06:54] Usually the Linux LILO can be installed over any Windows MBR installation. [06:54] RuJN, if a rootkit is detected - reinstall OS (unless you can discover how you where infected, then reinstall OS) [06:54] lilo? [06:54] xmaz: if you can't then skip it. scan your system by dr.web for linux [06:55] lilo is way old [06:55] zykotick9: for what? [06:55] how do I purge all r status pkgs? [06:55] hi guys, i have a .tgz file but i cant seem to install it [06:55] Lilac_Underworld, all bootloaders can overwrite each other in sector 0 [06:55] hello [06:56] im new to linux [06:56] monk_ubuntu: That's likely source-code. You can't just *install* that. Unpack it, see a file called "README" or "INSTALL" on the inside. [06:56] How true. [06:56] monk_ubuntu: tgz is an archive file, not something that gets installed [06:56] I have a problem: tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:8118 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN [06:56] xmaz: dr.web is the leader in curing active infections, yoo can also use kaspersky [06:56] I cant close that port [06:56] monk_ubuntu: You normally install software from the Ubuntu software center [06:56] monk_ubuntu, if you're new to linux, i suggest virtualbox to prevent any worries [06:56] llomr: stop the service on it [06:56] hi guys. [06:56] helpo [06:56] RuJN, if your system has been "rooted" it's close to impossible to know what has been changed. Thus reinstall is required. AV software is a waste of resources on gnu/linux. [06:56] llomr: Are you connecting to the internet via a proxy? If so, that might be why [06:57] I dont want to restart just because of that open port [06:57] not restart, stop the service [06:57] I am trying to use vino-server. for some reason if I am running it from terminal, it works fine, and discovers the IP properly. [06:57] theadmin: it's from a program called sabnzbd [06:57] killall -9 sabnzbd [06:57] how do I purge all r status pkgs? [06:57] Ben64: service is not running :\ [06:57] llomr: wut... 8118 is a port for privoxy [06:57] Ben64, theadmin, thanks i will try on that [06:57] what does 'rooted' mean? [06:57] Ben64: no process found [06:57] however if I am using the GUI via menu (Preferences->Remote Desktop), it only says "localhost", but actually lsof -i :5900 does not reveal any processes. [06:57] xmaz: did you reboot the system after your "cleaning-task"? [06:57] RuJN, rooted? I never heard "root" being used as a verb. [06:58] and I cannot see any strange thing in the logs. [06:58] Ben64: I have no idea how it's still listing on that port. [06:58] iceroot: no [06:58] RuJN, I heard of chrooted. [06:58] yagoo: Never owned an Android phone, then? [06:58] yagoo: "rooted" usually means "gained root access via unintended means" [06:58] hey guys!! is there any canon PIXMA series printer drivers?? [06:58] xmaz: do you have still the commands you used for the "cleanup"? [06:58] yagoo, zykotick9 wrote 'rooted', i do not know what it means [06:59] iceroot: no [06:59] RuJN, ok.. [06:59] Mrs.Theadmin?? [06:59] llomr: lsof -i | grep 8118 [06:59] Tony: Stop asking me stuff, for god's sake [06:59] RuJN, read theadmin's definition above. It means to get root access. [06:59] xmaz: what do you want us to do for you? [06:59] Tony: yes there are I've had a MP145 running, though that's abit old [06:59] RuJN, because rooted is not part of any computing vocabulary in my watch [07:00] yagoo, read theadmin's definition above. It means to get root access. [07:00] @somip i want to know MP250 series [07:00] iceroot: kinda, wanted to know if theres a way i can fix my "/bin/" problems without reinstalling :S [07:00] rooted means something different then getting root-acces. rooted means that the initial process is running by another process. that is what a root-kit does, so your system is running inside another process [07:00] thank you. xmaz, do have copies of rootkit files? [07:01] Ben64: it shows nothing [07:01] xmaz: you have to reinstall 100% if you have some rootkits or other things running [07:01] xmaz: Maybe, just maybe... sudo apt-get install coreutils... If you still have your /usr/bin files... [07:01] xmaz: everything else is stupid [07:01] Tony: you tried this looong thread? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1314209 [07:01] llomr: then its not open :| [07:01] iceroot: ok :/ [07:01] xmaz: do you have physical access to the system? [07:01] xmaz, is missing ls file your only problem? [07:01] somip: yeah! No info. there [07:01] iceroot, bios rootkits.. those must be nice.. [07:02] iceroot: yes i have [07:02] RuJN: no, everything in /bin/ seems to not work :S [07:02] xmaz: i would suggest to run the system with a live-cd [07:02] Tony: then I have no direct experience of doing this myself. There are MP dirvers out there, that's all I can confirm [07:02] Iceroot nice difinition of the term. So rooted is a virtual machine running inside of a shell. :) [07:02] Lilac_Underworld: something like that, normally its running the init-process in another context [07:03] * yagoo thinks he just internetted [07:03] somip: but they all are for ubuntu older versions [07:03] Internetted is a new term too -- I just invented it :) [07:03] Internet Rooted. [07:04] llomr: actually, try this too... "lsof -i | grep -i oxy" [07:04] or Internet Routed. :) [07:04] Ben64: shows nothing [07:04] xmaz: but more interesting for me is the part how you get the rootkit [07:04] then its not open [07:04] yagoo: Internet rooted - The state of being unable to access any information outside of the root nameservers of the internet. [07:04] xmaz: used downloaded software as root? [07:04] xmaz: downloaded == software which is not comming from the official ubuntu-repos [07:05] You know the OS is bad when it cannot find your sound card. [07:05] Tony: what version are you on? Here I found someone who got working drivers on Mint11 which must be based on a recent version of Ubuntu: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=49549 [07:05] chuxxsss: the os is finding your soundcard 100% [07:05] chuxxsss: but maybe there are no drivers [07:05] No it is not [07:05] chuxxsss: so the soundcard is bad because there are no drivers from the manufactor [07:05] iceroot seems like someone gained access to my system via bad password on my side, and used a local root exploit i guess :S [07:06] for HP8200vw? [07:06] xmaz, may be i could share my bin with you? [07:06] icerooted, -> manufacturer/manufactor [07:06] somip: ubuntu 11.04 [07:06] yagoo: whatever you say [07:06] couldn't you use apt to reinstall all of /bin [07:06] iceroot, rooted! :) [07:06] xmaz: I wouldn't share RuJN's /bin/ [07:07] xmaz: you have the latest security updates? which ubuntu-version is it? [07:07] Tony: Well, I have no innate knowledge that can help. All i've done is look at search engines and tried to suggest solutions. Your move... [07:07] xmaz: You could try replacing from a LiveCD, you'd need to extract/mount the ISO then extract the squashfs filesystem to get the /bin/ folder from that [07:07] synaptic would be easier : / [07:07] Polah: maybe it is incorrect because i am new to ubuntu and do not know its file system well [07:07] Polah, easy easy.. ISOs are squash filesystems? [07:07] somip: Thnx Brother :-0 [07:08] RuJN: It might work, I'm simply saying it wouldn't be wise to share your system stuff since there's every chance it could be compromised [07:08] reinstall "coreutils" from synaptic [07:08] problem mostly solved [07:08] Yagoo ISO's are compressed files. [07:08] what? [07:08] Polah: i have no idea what to do, but i will sure give it a try and google a bit :S [07:08] ISOs are not compressed [07:08] * yagoo scratches his head [07:08] Lilac_Underworld: no, iso is not compressed [07:08] Of course they are. [07:08] yagoo: Yes, the iso has casper/filesystem.squashfs which contains the actual Ubuntu filesystem which is copied to the drive on installing [07:08] xmaz: reinstall "coreutils" from synaptic [07:08] !livecdcustomisation | xmaz [07:08] polah, why? what info is kept there? [07:08] Lilac_Underworld: no, they are not [07:09] xmaz: you have the latest security updates? which ubuntu-version is it? [07:09] Lilac_Underworld: You have no idea what you're talking about, do you? [07:09] you can mount squashfs files [07:09] RuJN: Program executables. Could still be compromised though, better to be on the same side. [07:09] (loopback) [07:09] Ben64: could you help me how to do that m8? :) [07:09] Lilac_Underworld: iso is not compressed, please stop this stupid point [07:09] no need to extract.. [07:09] OK I repent. [07:09] xmaz: 1. open synaptic, 2. search for "coreutils", 3. right click, hit reinstall, 4. hit apply [07:09] Polah, thank you. What is in /bin/ls? [07:10] Ben64: he cant use /bin [07:10] iceroot: and? [07:10] RuJN: That's the executable binary for ls === fantom is now known as Guest23799 [07:10] /usr/sbin/synaptic [07:10] RuJN: It's what gets run and has arguments passed to it when you use the ls command [07:10] doesn't look like /bin to me [07:10] Ben64: i can only work throught a terminal :S [07:10] Thank god for Soundtrouble shoot goodbye pulseaudio hello ALSA. [07:10] xmaz: sudo apt-get install coreutils === Guest23799 is now known as THalturin [07:11] Ben64: ever had a look at debian/rules? [07:11] Ben64: and all the tools used in debian/rules? [07:11] can ALSA run several sound sources in parallel? [07:11] what's the ls command? [07:11] RuJN: man ls [07:11] who cares [07:12] It says somethingin the line: The newest version is allready installed 0 removed 0 updated [07:12] xmaz: Okay, do: sudo apt-get --reinstall install coreutils [07:12] yeah that [07:12] xmaz: which ubuntu-version are you using? [07:12] chuxxsss: Just so you're aware, Pulseaudio runs on top of ALSA. ALSA provides the sound API, PulseAudio handles input and output for that [07:12] iceroot: errors erros [07:12] ISO files are compressed which means they are neatly contained within an .exe file which means compresses or compiled. [07:12] Lilac_Underworld: no and no and no [07:12] iceroot: unable to make backup link of `./bin/ls' before installing new version: Operation not permitted [07:13] Lilac_Underworld: please stop this [07:13] Lilac_Underworld: LOLWUT. [07:13] Lilac_Underworld: ISO files are not compressed, nor are they in .exe files. [07:13] * theadmin actually smiled despite all the depression [07:13] xmaz: sudo apt-get purge coreutils; sudo apt-get install coreutils [07:13] Lilac_Underworld: its no problem if you dont know the fact but pleae dont post wrong things here [07:13] Well my simple hardware which worked find in 10.04 does not work with 11.04 [07:13] don't purge coreutils [07:13] aw [07:13] but they're missing [07:13] that doesn't mean purge the packge [07:13] then..? [07:13] lilac_underworld: exe is windows executable file [07:14] depends on the issue [07:14] it won't let him reinstall it [07:14] and they are missing [07:14] how are they missing, what has happened ? [07:14] rooted somehow, dunno [07:14] Ben64: cant purge them also [07:14] ikonia, it's due to a rootkit [07:14] :/ [07:14] xmaz: what ubuntu-version are you using, do you have the latest security updates? its not important how to fix your system because you have to reinstall. its important how you get infected [07:14] ikonia: /bin/ is empty, basically [07:14] right - so if he's reooted then he NEEDS to re-install [07:14] as in the whole OS [07:14] re-install then, [07:14] its says Currupted packages [07:14] thats what everyone else said [07:15] then this conversation is over [07:15] i tried to find a different way [07:15] as ikonia said!! [07:15] oh well [07:15] ikonia, ya, most people in the channel disagree... [07:15] When i boot the ubuntu live cd, i only get snow... i hear the sound of the menu's when i move the mouse, but all i see is snow... Any way to fix it? [07:15] no i agree, but options are good [07:15] its important how you get infected: they briteforced my ftp user since i used a weak password [07:15] Ben64: there is no other option. [07:15] xmaz: reinstall time! [07:15] xmaz: that doesnt exaplin how to get root-access [07:15] xmaz, is your /bin/ FULLY demaged or only 1 file? [07:15] next time don't have bad passwords [07:15] RuJN: everything in /bin [07:15] RuJN: Completely gone [07:15] xmaz: or are you sing ftp with root? [07:16] yeah [07:16] the big problem is who knows what else they did [07:16] xmaz: ftp with root? [07:16] there could be all kinds of nasty things on it now [07:16] i am running it on root yes [07:16] :) [07:16] xmaz: you are loggin into ftp with root? [07:16] ah no [07:16] xmaz, ftp uses clear text for passwords, really doesn't matter how good they are [07:16] xmaz: unencrypted ftp? [07:16] ftps [07:16] or even better - sftp [07:17] well anyway, re-installing is my only option, damn :S [07:17] xmaz: yes [07:17] Thanks for teh help :) [07:17] xmaz: And don't work as root again, use sudo [07:17] also, backups are good [07:17] xmaz: so the attacker get access as a normal user [07:17] Ben64: agreed :P [07:18] xmaz: does the ftp-user had sudo-access? [07:18] i am not using sudo [07:18] :o [07:18] xmaz: not you... [07:18] xmaz: the ftp-user, does he has the right to use sudo? [07:18] yes [07:18] xmaz: .... that is like using root over ftp [07:18] what else did the backdoor did? [07:19] xmaz: is that a public server on the internet? [07:19] irc://irc.freenode.net/drupal-jquerymobile [07:19] chain is only as strong as its weakest link [07:19] weak sudo user = weak root [07:19] no, its my companys server [07:19] xmaz: what???? [07:19] xmaz: you are the admin? [07:19] oh man [07:19] kinda :) [07:19] * xmaz has a feeling he will get raped [07:19] lol [07:19] When i boot the ubuntu live cd, i only get snow... i hear the sound of the menu's when i move the mouse, but all i see is snow... Any way to fix it? [07:19] xmaz: what about learning the basics instead of being an admin of a linux-system? [07:20] iceroot: m8 i learned the basics, and people do mistakes, i fucked up, i came her asking for help, if help was possible [07:21] xmaz: maybe take a livecd and install ububtu from there to a usb flash, then copy /bin/ from new system to the old one [07:21] BroederT: "snow"? [07:21] yeah, like snow on old tv [07:21] RuJN: You could just copy /bin/ from livecd [07:21] xmaz: for the next steps, reinstall the system, dont use ftp in the future, use ftps or sftp. dont!! ever in your whole life use an ftp-user which can use sudo. always use the latest security-updates [07:22] iceroot: thanks :) [07:23] Please explain to me how to set the clock on vmware/Windows, Windows clock in local time, and I am in EEST [07:23] xmaz: and (in my opinion) dont use ubuntu as a server-os. use debian which is way more stable [07:23] theadmin, http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/5214/20111010085545.jpg [07:23] app: ##windows [07:23] Now Windows says it's 10:19 and Ubuntu saysa 9:39??? [07:23] iceroot: about stability, i had 0 problems :) [07:23] ok, maybe, goodbye [07:24] xmaz: stable doesnt mean craches, stable means long testes software (security issues) [07:24] app: Timezone settings... [07:24] BroederT: nomodeset [07:24] ? [07:24] How can Ubuntu/Vmware/Windows and Windows clocks differ with a non integer amount of time??? [07:24] !nomodeset | BroederT [07:24] BroederT: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [07:24] of hours I mean [07:24] ok, thanks :) === bryan is now known as Guest48151 [07:25] Where do I set to Ubuntu, that my hw clock is on localtime? [07:26] That's not in Gnome clock settings? [07:26] xmaz: i guess its getting offtopic but the software in ubuntu is not tested over long time (e.g. 2.6.38, apache2, php5, mysql-server) this software isnt very old and there are more security-issues then in older/long tested software. but this is offtopic here [07:26] qaz [07:26] hej [07:27] iceroot: ok so you suggest debian? :) [07:27] xmaz: first i suggest to read the basics [07:27] iceroot: i dont have time for basics :S [07:27] hej [07:27] no point discussing any more then [07:27] xmaz: then tell your boss that he needs a linux-admin [07:28] :)) [07:28] hello [07:28] hello [07:28] how are you? [07:28] any one here who can help me.. I need to remote from windows to ubuntu [07:29] bugong: TeamViewer? [07:29] bugong: vnc [07:29] bugong: VNC [07:29] xmaz, fmauro: VNC isn't for newbies, TeamViewer is a much better solution with dynamic IPs as well [07:29] bugong: ssh / putty if you want cli-access only [07:30] theadmin: I don't like 3rd parties controlling my moves. this is un-professional [07:30] fmauro: I don't think that she/he asked for a "proffessional" solution, did she/he? [07:30] I just bought new VPS with ubuntu 10.4, after login via ssh I'm not able to to ping and neither update. [07:31] m4k: type "ifconfig" [07:31] m4k: but ssh over the network is working? can you ping 78.46.202.4 and also the dns to it alpha-unix.de? [07:31] can give link or instruction [07:31] i bet dns is the problem [07:32] iceroot: yes I can ping ip address i.e. means there is a problem with dns I'm I right? [07:33] indeed [07:33] m4k: correct [07:33] m4k: /etc/resolv.conf contains your nameserver [07:33] iceroot: thanks budy :) [07:33] if i'm looking to setup multi user home network (like business corp), ldap is what i'm looking for right? [07:33] m4k: if you dont have a dns-server you can use the google-dns. put this in that file "nameserver 8.8.8.8" [07:34] iceroot: thanks adding those [07:40] Hello. Is there a way to select several software packages in "ubuntu Software Center" and then install all at once? [07:40] vlt: Nah. I suggest you use Synaptic. [07:40] theadmin: Thanks. [07:41] how remove repository apt-add-repository -r ppa:nova-core/trunk not working [07:41] apt-add-repository: error: no such option: -r [07:42] gold star to me! first ppa upload. [07:42] xannen: Id say ldap, yeah, its not for the faint of heart, but its not so bad once you get used to it, and tons of stuff will auth from ldap. [07:44] saju_m: ppa-purge ppa:nova-core/trunk [07:44] sammy, i would like to setup share (filesystem) dir, printing etc.... for home setup, ldap would be it? sorry i just want to clarify, before i fully delve in. [07:44] ok, thanks [07:45] hello [07:45] please i really need help [07:45] hi [07:45] !ask | brasa [07:45] brasa: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [07:45] hi [07:46] xannen: youre trying to share files and printers, or do you want a central database to authorize users on multiple systems? samba can share directories and printers, ldap will provide you with a directory, a database of users, passwords, and their privileges [07:46] i explain i have one acer aspire 5732z he bring windows 7 but windows frozen and i intall ubunto 8.10 and now i want format to put windows 7 [07:46] how can i do this im driving crazy [07:47] theadmin: ppa-purge command not found, [07:47] the authorize users system. :D [07:47] I just installed eclipse to usr/local/bin/eclipse/, I now need eclipse.exe in my application list or at least on my desktop [07:47] apt-get install ppa-purge, E: Couldn't find package ppa-purge [07:47] is this possible? [07:47] brasa: get a windows CD - boot from CD, install windows. That is how you do it [07:47] sammy, but can i have file sharing, printing as well? [07:47] ikonia [07:47] brasa: the guys in the channel ##windows can help you put windows on your hardware [07:48] the dvd i have windows 7 is on format iso [07:48] brasa: burn it then ?

[07:48] On my kubuntu oneric beta2 system, if I just update packages when the final is out, will I end up with a clone of a similar system to a fresh install or is a reinstall recommended? [07:48] first sorry im portuguese bad english [07:48] GirlyGirl: #ubuntu+1 please. [07:48] xannen: ldap it is. might i suggest you look into 'migratetools' and 'ldapscripts' packages. also http://wiki.debian.org/LDAP is very very helpful, as is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenLDAPServer [07:48] brasa: that's ok [07:49] thank you [07:49] How do I make mysql to be accessible from lan. [07:49] ikonia: ok [07:49] m4k: in what way accessible ? [07:49] m4k: (explain what you want to do) [07:49] i have windows 7 saved on a dvd on format iso [07:49] from php file [07:49] yep, i'm browsing it. :D [07:50] m4k: the default mysql permissions are from localhost, to make the db accept connections from other hosts, you need to grant permissions to "user@$hostname/ip" or "user@%" which is all hosts [07:50] when i put restart computer from cd he dont let me go direct to ubunto === antnash__ is now known as antnash [07:50] Is there a way to make an exe show up in my application list? [07:50] m4k: so use a hostname or ip address or % to wildcard it [07:50] Im using the latest ubuntu [07:50] use wine [07:50] Mixmasterxp: you could use a shotcut "wine /path/exe" [07:51] Mixmasterxp: and place that shortcut in the app list [07:51] whoops, not exe, its original linux format [07:51] .deb i think [07:51] brasa: Since you want to install windows maybe #windows would be better [07:52] deb is a package, not an executable [07:52] xannen: there's a package to marry samba and ldap. look into that first to make sure you make the proper arrangements when seting up your ldap server [07:52] the file type says executable, is this windows or linux? [07:52] sammy, thanks for the heads up. ^_^ [07:52] you can install eclipse from the original repositorities Mixmasterxp.. you can type 'sudo apt-get install eclipse' in the terminal or use the ubuntu software center and search for eclipse... [07:52] GirlyGirl: the channel is ##windows as he's already been told === user is now known as hulkhogan [07:53] Snicksie: those repositories are outdated [07:53] ikonia: I did that but its not working as required. even I added "bind-address = 192.168.1.111" is there any firewall issue ? [07:53] ikonia: isn't that a redirect? [07:53] hey guys. Can grub mount file systems and such? [07:53] m4k: no no no, that's listen on an interface, you need permissions "grant" within the database [07:53] hm, in that case installing the .deb should be enough to make it appear in the application-list :) [07:53] GirlyGirl: I don't know, but point him at the right channel [07:54] m4k: it's probably already listening on the interface fine, you need to set the permissions within the database to accept connections [07:54] yup [07:54] ActionParsnip: well it can use iso, as loopback so maybe yes ? [07:54] ActionParsnip: It can mount/boot ISOs [07:54] I'm thinking about making an Ubuntu setup which rsyncs the entire / partition to a ramdisk, then boot it but I'll need to be able to do that, then boot the ramdisk [07:55] Polah: ActionParsnip, this is the recent grub though, old grub can't [07:55] ikonia: I added one user with hostname as % [07:55] ? [07:55] airtonix: I'm assuming an up to date version on Ubuntu is in use, which will (should) have GRUB2 [07:55] Polah: airtonix: new systems have like 8Gb RAM, my install here is about 3Gb so I figured it would be sweet [07:55] ActionParsnip: ramdisk would be great [07:55] m4k: so test it using the mysql client, and see if it connects, or what error message you got [07:55] Polah: every 30 mins, rsync the data back to the physical drive so updates stick [07:55] m4k: also test it by telneting to the port from the remote machine, make sure it gets a connection [07:55] m4k: what about router's forwarding? [07:56] airtonix: ^ [07:56] ActionParsnip: If that was possible, I wouldn't mount the entire thing in memory. [07:56] m4k: I mean, port forwarding at router. [07:56] Polah: that's my plan, sync to hard storage occasionally and one last one at shutdown [07:56] ActionParsnip: Perhaps leave out /var/ and other such directories that aren't regularly accessed or don't require really quick access [07:56] Can I install gnome shell and still have unity and compiz on Natty? [07:56] Guest49211: yes and no [07:56] i can open on ubunto one file iso ? [07:57] ActionParsnip, with more memory sure, but I'd think 3GB is a bit close [07:57] Guest49211: No [07:57] Polah: cool, but its setting up the ram disk and booting it which is taxing me. How to get it rolling [07:57] airtonix: [07:57] brasa: Not open no. You can store it. [07:57] ah ok [07:57] get 11.10 [07:57] then u can [07:57] is it worth installing or is it another learning curve UI wise? [07:57] Guest49211: my natty netbook is runngin gnome-shell but you can't use compiz while in gnome-shell, but you can switch out to classic desktop session instead [07:57] Polah: ok, 4Gb but you get the idea [07:57] Brasa: Yes, You do. Even mount it or extract. [07:57] Guest49211: learning curve is fairly non existant imo [07:58] Polah: just need to be able to make the ramdrive before fstab starts being processed so that the / is the ramdrive [07:58] learning curve click more buttons and dance around [07:58] airtonix: it's just that it's a shared machine [07:58] Guest49211: but i would wait till there is an offical release of gnome-shell on a live usb [07:58] Guest49211: then don't do it yet [07:58] brasa: You can burn an iso to disk using brasero, then the disk will boot ... not just copy the iso file on disk https://www.linux.com/news/software/applications/280100-using-brasero-for-data-backup-and-iso-burning [07:58] Polah: I have a full KDE desktop here with full office suite at 3.3Gb :) [07:59] Polah: keep /home off the ramdrive too :) [07:59] airtonix: cool, cheers, that's exactly what I need to hear. [07:59] ikonia: Telnetting is working it is connecting, when I try to connect with sqlyog which is mysql client I get "error no. 1045 Access [07:59] denied for user user@mak.local(using password: yes)" [07:59] laters [07:59] m4k: ok - so you're bang on with the firewall and physical connection then, so you know the issue is permissions in the database [07:59] afther i have saved windows 7 on dvd is possible burn dvd ? [08:00] !burn | brasa [08:00] brasa: CD/DVD burning software: k3b (KDE), brasero (GNOME), gnomebaker, xcdroast, wodim (command-line) | To burn ISO files, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [08:00] ActionParsnip, doing a search, I see a bit about loop mounting a ramdisk, so you could probably do it that way through GRUB. It gives mount -o loop initrd ramdisk as having been run in the actual system but you could try adding a similar line to your GRUB [08:00] sure [08:00] thank you ikonia im new on this [08:02] FREEDOM LOVERS: [08:02] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDDIWP2jGDg&feature=related [08:02] AMAZING FOOTAGE OF ALEX USING THE BULL HORN AGAINST THE HOUSTON FED!

At logoff, copy the data to the physical drive to a holding folder then just copy it to the tempfs at bootup? [08:09] Polah: /usr is 2.4Gb of my used 3.3Gb, should be ok [08:10] Polah: I think it's dumb enough to work :) === abhijain is now known as rahul [08:11] ActionParsnip: Perhaps, that might work.

I also added the path to /lib/modules/2.6.38-11-generic-pae/modules.order . Is that sufficient for the module to be loaded? [08:29] steph_: can you boot to root recovery mode? [08:29] I boot into recovery mode, and it does the same [08:29] milligan: Can you load the module? If so, it is :D [08:29] hey you guys, when i right click a folder and click properties, i get a folder size of 11.5 mb when i do "du -sh folder" i get 14M why the big difference? now properties window on a different folder reads 18.6 mb but "du -sh folder" = 24M why am i getting different file sizes? [08:29] milligan: try it. sudo modprobe name [08:29] is there a way to "unrevoke" this action?

[08:30] milligan: Then it's not. Isn't there supposed to also be a .ko.gz file under /usr/lib/modules/? [08:31] no idea :) [08:31] hexacode: possibly the larger one is showing the space used on the drive (including slack space) [08:31] ActionParsnip: how do i fsck the disk I want? [08:31] !fsck | steph_ [08:31] steph_: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [08:31] thanks [08:31] I cannot use xcdroast because of this bug, even with the -n option as root, how do I get xcdroast working? http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=523639 [08:31] Debian bug 523639 in xcdroast "xcdroast: Failed to access cdrecord" [Grave,Open] [08:31] #openwrt [08:32] theadmin, the output of the compile certainly didn't produce anything like that. [08:32] ActionParsnip: sorry am a newb, not sure what that means [08:32] ActionParsnip, I think it is because the resolution of the image is being ignored. The image is a scan at 300 dpi resolution. about the size of 1/4 letter paper. === Timic_ is now known as Timic [08:34] anyone here use linode? if so, why does it have port 25 filtered? i was thinking of installing my own business email but i see port 25 already in use...whats up with this? [08:34] hexacode: Not an Ubuntu question... And if it is, check your iptables and make sure you use that port as root (ports below 1000 require root priveleges iirc) [08:35] Funny that port 666 is one of those :D Though, that's never used by Linux [08:35] <1024 [08:35] ok, so in Disk utility I asked it to Check Filesystem [08:35] thanks [08:36] I got a dialog show up. Partition 5 of 4 of ATA ST98897799AS completed - FILE SYSTEM IS NOT CLEAN [08:36] what do I do now? How do I clean it? [08:36] steph_: sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo reboot [08:37] theadmin: where on the livedisk? [08:38] theadmin, ActionParsnip , do I need to run some kind of command to update the list of available modules? [08:38] follow up on my previous question...i found a post on google saying the reason port 25 might be filtered is because the isp, not the server...can this be true? im using nmap to scan my server and port 25 shows up as filtered...the thing is, i just rented the server and havent even used iptables on it yet or installed an smtp server [08:39] steph_: No, on the real system [08:39] Hello.

[08:40] milligan: could try: sudo depmod -a [08:40] lvh: canon make a few drivers, check their site for drivers [08:40] theadmin: at the initramfs prompt sudo does not work and fsck does not exist [08:40] steph_: Oh, I see. [08:41] lvh: HP love linux and make awesome drivers. Their drivers are even in a default install [08:41] ActionParsnip, that helped :) modprobe worked now. [08:41] steph_: Then note down your device file and run "sudo fsck /dev/sdz5" (for example) on the livecd [08:41] steph_: could try: sudo fsck -i /dev/sda1 [08:41] thanks theadmin that makes sense now...im going to nmap localhost on the server for more accurate results [08:42] steph_: http://linux.die.net/man/8/fsck [08:42] I wonder, if I have more than 26 hard drives... What would come after /dev/sdz? xD [08:42] ActionParsnip: Yes, I've had very good experience with Samsung and HP. [08:42] ActionParsnip: [08:42] I tried theadmin's and it says recovering journal [08:42] ActionParsnip: However, only for their laser printers, never for scan/fax combis. I know those can be hell on Windows too, so I'm not hopeful for Ubuntu... [08:43] theadmin: Error reading block 7887636 (attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read). ignore error?

[08:48] ActionParsnip, theadmin what should I do? Ignore or not ignore?\ [08:48] I come to the terminal but I do not know what to ask for the command to add a new?

[08:49] :) [08:49] thanks :) [08:50] netstat -pl might work [08:50] lsof is better :) [08:51] lsof -i -n -P | grep \:25 [08:51] that would work the best :D [08:51] sorry boys, I'm not sure what to do [08:51] steph_: you can use -a to automatically fix (non interactive) [08:51] hexacode: netstat -nap | grep :25 [08:51] yes ignore or no [08:52] that doesn't help [08:52] I come to the terminal but I do not know what to ask for the command to add a new? help [08:52] shall I ctrl+c and do it again with -a?

[08:53] steph_: read the man page link I gave, it explains a lot [08:53] disappeared but my aircraft panels [08:54] dshev it says sendmail : MTA is listening on that port...the reason i ask is because i want to set up an email server so that i can receive emails ...is sendmail also an email server? [08:54] ActionParsnip: I then entered command "sudo fsck -a /dev/sda5" and it says run fsck manually [08:54] which is above the main panel is gone [08:54] pocata: you're probably going to need to explain a lot more in order to get help [08:57] I really hope that annoying bug where users can not see unity tray icons (geforce users) would be fixed by 11.10 [08:57] it worked.

[10:09] Can anyone tell me the command to restart wireless? [10:10] pitlimit: you can unload and load the wireless module, should do it [10:10] hm how do i do that [10:11] Wouldn't restarting the networking service be easier?

[10:15] jrib: nfs access denied problem [10:16] theadmin, is there another way? [10:16] that doesn't work [10:16] pitlimit: Try "network" instead of "networking" [10:17] al_nz1: « sudo iptables -L » is one way. You can also likely use « ufw ». That's at the firewall level. Make sure nfs is actually running and use netstat to see what's running on what port [10:17] network: unrecognized servie [10:17] jrib: yeah nfs is running [10:17] theadmin: Aren't they closed by default? [10:18] I notice my wireless automatically connects to wlan0 not eth0 [10:18] that's weird [10:19] Polah: Why, no [10:19] Polah: Just nothing's listening on them [10:19] pitlimit: sudo modprobe -r name; sleep 2; sudo modprobe name will restart the interface. You can see what 'name' is with: sudo lshw -C network [10:20] thanks ActionParsnip I will try those [10:20] Do you know why I am using wlan0 instead of eth0? [10:20] Hey ActionParsnip [10:20] it's the default [10:20] pitlimit: change name to the module name named after drive= [10:20] I don't know how to changge it [10:20] okay thank you [10:22] HI, can i upgrade 11.04 server version to the desktop version? [10:22] with ssh =) [10:23] toek: sure, just install a desktop, why did you instal server if you wanted a desktop OS? [10:23] toek: just install a desktop on it [10:23] pitlimit: u can use three lines: sudo ifconfig wlan0 down | sudo ifconfig wlan0 up| sudo dhclient wlan0 [10:24] cool physicaljazz [10:24] physicaljazz, do you know why ubuntu autoconects me to wlan0 and not eth0 [10:24] toek: sudo apt-get install lxde lightdm will give a nice light desktop to impact less on your server [10:24] to my understanding, wlan0 is like a bridge [10:24] I want to install XP on a client's machine using USB.... so far the only solutions I can find require windows to make the USB. Is it possible to create it using Ubuntu? [10:25] pitlimit: wlan0 is your wireless [10:25] ActionParsnip: i dont really want a desktop version, but when trying to install PSM (media server) its just a bit over my head with server. Most of the documentation seem to be for desktops. [10:25] oh weird [10:25] I thought eth0 was wireless [10:25] pitlimit: No, ETH is ETHernet [10:25] pitlimit: wlan is Wireless LAN [10:25] hm... I thougth all ethernet is wireless [10:25] oops [10:25] all internet was ethernet [10:26] is ethernet wired? [10:26] toek: lxde will give a nice light OS frontend. If server is over your head I suggest you install desktop. It will give a smoother ride [10:26] on my macbook my wireless was eth0 - sorry for the confusion . I just assumed all wireless were eth0 [10:26] pitlimit: Depends on your wireless drivers, honestly, but most of the time ethX is wired [10:26] ethernet is a protocol. Sometimes eth1 is wireless. [10:26] got it theadmin so it must have been an OSX thing [10:27] pitlimit: some wireless chipsets do report as eth0 (but it isn't common) [10:27] and finally... my laptop does not suspend - can anyone redirect me to a guide that will help me to fix it? [10:27] ActionParsnip: Its not the server per say i do most things but there is litle info on dependecies and configuration documented for the PSM... destop looks more like a download and click kind of deal. [10:28] pitlimit: suspend to RAM or to disk? [10:28] toek: I'd install desktop in future [10:28] theadmin, well I think RAM because I want to shut my laptop lid and be able to open it and start fairly quickly [10:28] pitlimit: Sounds like a bug to me then, not much I can help with, honestly [10:28] I lost my ubuntu [10:28] AFD: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-877688.html [10:29] theadmin actually, I thought suspending was a common problem amongst all Ubuntu users [10:29] ActionParsnip: thank you ;) [10:29] I've never had a laptop that suspended correctly out of the box [10:29] pitlimit: It is.

How can I get my ubuntu back ? it is latest version [10:29] ActionParsnip, did you have to tweak anything? Or did it work out of the box? [10:29] pitlimit: zero extra config [10:29] lucky!

[11:53] i have that version on laptop, anyway there's so much difference in configuring tomcat between these 2 versions?

[11:54] yes [11:54] xsane.rc [11:54] plain-user, you can only have one default soundcard afaik , you have to set it in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf as : options snd_nameofmodule index=0 ..you can find the module name you want to use by running: lsmod | grep snd [11:55] jc2000: for example, I have an HP PSC1600 print-scan-copy machine and this file in my directory -> Hewlett-Packard:PSC__1600__series.drc [11:55] Hi all [11:55] anyone from Seattle herE?

[11:58] it has a lot of modules there. is there a quicker way to select default device and preferrably "on the fly". it's ok if i have to make some steps to quickly change the sound in order to answer the skype call, but if it brakes everything else (example something is processing on the background) [11:59] anyone notice the fail change to youtube? i used to be able to pick my video resolution but now theres an option called 'auto' and it doesnt seem to want to change...i like watching videos at 480 px on my netbook but this now is just fail [11:59] then =\ [11:59] jc2000: I see slightly different instructions on the Brother support page -> http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/instruction_scn1c.html#u9.10 [12:00] phlak_user: i add the lines [12:00] jc2000: they're different from the ones on the forum [12:01] I did the two of them [12:01] jc2000: both of them? you need to remove the line from the forums and keep only this one [12:01] hexacode: does it happen in all browsers? [12:02] what do you mean? [12:02] plain-user, there's no reason your USB card can't run all the sound as default if that's what you want , switching back and forth between cards is odious and unecessary. [12:02] jc2000: you said you added the lines to libsane.rules from the link in the forums; and also the lines in the link i just posted from the brother support [12:03] yes i know [12:03] jc2000: i was asking you to remove the ones that you added earlier and only keep the ones from the Brother support page and reboot like they ask [12:04] BluesKaj, i need the inbuilt soundcard be working in skype. reason: headset with microphone is connected to it. i got bored of using line mike and holding it in hand like a singer everytime i need to use skype [12:04] lol === root is now known as Guest53638 [12:04] so like ah - how stable is 11.10? [12:04] frogzoo: ask in #ubuntu+1 please [12:04] oh ok [12:04] before i had the extrenal usb card doing the sound for skype, but had to use the studio mike. )) [12:04] Hi! I have a usb 3g modem. It has flash storage, that mounts automatically. I was wondering if I could make my system completely ignore this part of the device. [12:05] im now working on the brother thing after I did the ubuntu stuff [12:05] joesepp: run: lsusb one line will ientify the device, use the 8 character hex ID to find guides [12:05] joesepp: typically you do best just waiting for the drivers to update to support your device [12:05] plain-user, then use the commands I posted earlier to set it as defualt , which it probly is already , unless you changed it in the bios. [12:06] jc2000: i am not sure I follow [12:06] BluesKaj, ok.. in bios you can't set the usb card it doesnt see it [12:06] frogzoo: the device works well, i just don't want to see the storage part. [12:07] I did what was in UF (ubuntu forums) but it didnt help so I went to brother and did what was written their [12:07] http://pastebin.com/k0vpPT8z [12:07] Thanks, guys. Bye.

[12:11] just using the sound preferences dialog i can set the audio temporarily default for internal and then use skype. is there a permanent way of doing so? [12:11] ActionParsnip: the modeswitch works, but is there a way to ignore the storage part altogether? sometimes i need to eject this part to speed up modeswitch(i guess) [12:11] ActionParsnip: I think it's classic and without effects. [12:11] jc2000: can you run xsane as superuser? gksu xsane [12:11] i did that already [12:12] joesepp: you can use pmount to ensure it doesnt mount at all [12:12] didnt find anything and to text in terminal [12:12] hello guys whats up [12:12] joesepp: no it will always be storage until usb_modeswitch happens.

I just want my laptop to connect to the internet, maybe autostart firefox, how can this be done? [12:29] salvee [12:29] zombiehand: set a blank keyring password, you won't be bothered then [12:30] jc2000: can you ask sane to find the scanner manually -> sudo sane-find-scanner [12:30] zombiehand: I don't ever use my keyring... Do you share computer? Would it even mattered if you did? [12:30] di cosa state parlando ?? [12:30] o.O [12:30] zombiehand: Next, you can add firefox to a list of "Start up applications". [12:31] zombiehand if your keyring password is the same as your user password it gets unlocked when you log in automatically [12:31] Hi, with flash 11 having native 64-bit support I thought I could remove nspluginwrapper but flashplugin still depends on it, why?

Which one is partner repo? [12:38] actionparship: thats make no sense.. im a noob.. is it a command for startup application..? [12:38] xangua, Ah, I found it, Canonical Partners [12:39] zombiehand: thats all that startup appp does [12:39] zombiehand: Open up "Startup Applications". Then click on the "Add" button. Type in "Firefox" for name. then "firefox" For command. then type anything you want for comment. Done. [12:39] zombiehand: it is like a placeholder for startup applications [12:39] How does one get into helping out with bugfixes etc in Ubuntu ? [12:39] zombiehand: it just puts files in that folder, so you can make a link and it will start [12:39] zombiehand: Without the Quotemarks please.

[12:40] BluesKaj, found that line. it is -2 currently. so what it will give me if i set it to two? just make the being the default? how can i then change in the application... [12:40] ryannathans: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [12:40] ActionParsnip: yes. [12:40] i'll do it again for lulz [12:40] ryannathans: are you using CD or USB to install with?

[12:41] scarleo: apt-cache policy [package] [12:41] scarleo: well i have flash installed from partner, and in synaptic it shows me adobe-flashplugin package [12:41] plain-user, the -2 means it's to be ignored , set it to 0 , without the - [12:41] ActionParsnip: usb [12:41] ryannathans: did you burn as slowly as possible? [12:41] oops [12:42] ryannathans: ok, does the RAM test ok?

I typed firefox twice like you said, Ill reboot, and be back when it doesn't work [12:42] so electronic sounds with LMMS likes deadmau5 or david guetta [12:43] ryannathans: Its worth testing. I doubt its a beast in the great scheme of things :) [12:43] xangua, DustyMonk How can I see in Synaptic what repo it is from? "Version" tells me nothing relevant [12:43] actionparship: when... [12:43] ActionParsnip: what do you want me to MD5 the iso with?

[12:44] KBentley57: sounds like a Live CD / USB [12:44] i am trying to google what this feature is called, in the buttons on my title bar, I have minimize, maximize, and close. but on another computer I have a 4th option [12:44] KBentley57: I'm working on that myself, I'm gonna try and get /usr in ram at boot :) [12:44] that just minimizes the window to the title bar [12:44] zulax: its called the window decorator [12:44] kay, md5-ing in another tmux window [12:44] thanks ActionParsnip I will try to install/get it [12:45] It simply wants to know "The name of this start up program", The command that launches the program (just type in firefox in terminal, that runs) And then a comment. (Serves for a reminder of the purpose of having Firefox for a startup i nthe first place) [12:45] zombiehand: Works now? [12:45] can i make with LMMS electronic beats like david guetta or deadmau5 [12:45] Reason being, I just got a 16 GB RAM kit while they are dirt cheap. It would be nice to boot, load everything to RAM, and upon reboot or shutdown write changes to the disk [12:46] ActionParsnip: where does one find the md5 for the download?

[12:48] KBentley57: my Oneiric install will fit lovely on a 4Gb ramdrive [12:48] KBentley57: Why not just use LiveCD? You could probably make a shell script that will save things before shutdown. [12:48] ryannathans: test the ram using the install USB, make sure that is healthy too [12:48] It's more of a curiosity than anything. I don't NEED it in any sense, I was just wondering if it had/could be done, easily. [12:49] ActionParsnip: it's healthy.

I'm going to deploy a apache + tomcat environment and need to find a optimal solution. Apache as a front, Tomcat as a application server. My plan is now: 1.

If the time is available, I would try both options, and see which one is better [13:05] hello everyone [13:05] haaga: the only thing you would be sacrificing is the redundancy of identical servers [13:05] haaga: Which isn't that bad to deal with if they are all identical [13:05] KBentley57: I don't really know yet, hopefully the application config will be pretty strait forward [13:06] who do I talk to for help?

[13:08] yes haaga, a 210-3001 Si model [13:08] I think its the latest, not sure [13:08] enrolic, there might be issues with certain wifi hardware [13:08] enrolic: Have you tried booting from a live usb drive to test it out? It will not make any changes to your pc [13:09] I'm worried, if I istall ubuntu, there goes my WIFI. Plus they don't give you the damn windows starter disk with the laptop ... so if something goes wrong! [13:09] ok [13:09] How do you do that BEntley? [13:09] just make a bootable usb from a official iso [13:10] enrolic: Use Unetbootin to create a bootable usb from the cd image [13:10] enrolic: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [13:10] Ok thanks. [13:11] enrolic: After that, simply reboot your pc and boot from the flash drive. If everything goes well, you will arrive at the ubuntu desktop [13:11] Finally, read about easypeasy online. Is that the best distribution to use, or should I just stick to plain ubuntu? [13:12] enrolic: this is ubuntu, not easypeasy [13:12] Opinions on distros usually degrade into flaming arguments..lol. Each has their own uses [13:12] what answer do you expect¿ [13:12] oh ok [13:12] lol [13:12] RAHE [13:12] The most popular distros will naturally have better support for a broader range of hardware though [13:12] the flag did nothing [13:12] thanks for the help though guys [13:12] Hope it works for ya [13:13] I'll give it a try, and come back and let you know [13:13] gl [13:13] cheers [13:13] guys, there is no way to install ubuntu with ssh enabled correct?

Now terminal download 221 mb from internet [13:19] ryannathans: all I need is access to the machine either locally with text mode or with ssh but ssh is not installed yet [13:19] DustyMonk: Thank you, I will try that, but I was also curious on how to use the .so file to install onto firefox, since I have never done that before [13:20] jair: boot from another liveusb with ubuntu on it or something, edit the files on local hdd [13:20] Nostoc: can't say, i use chromium, not FF [13:20] Nostoc: use sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer [13:20] Also, how do you get someone's name in gold (to denote you are replying to them) in this channel [13:20] I've Ubuntu 11.04 installed on a Chromebook, sometimes when I login I don't have sound, then If I reboot I've sound (sometimes), it's a very random issue. How can I fix this ? I'm using pulseaudio, but I've the same issue with alsa [13:20] Nostoc: start the sentance with their name [13:20] ryannathans: I see I will try something like that thank you [13:20] jair: no problem [13:21] DustyMonk and ryannathans thank you then [13:21] ryannathans: but you don't know of a key stroke to make the background process to show while ubuntu is booting? [13:21] jair: which background process? [13:21] Non4ik: ah ok, thanks for the info, didnt know that is in ubuntu [13:22] jair: not sure if you are referring to the log in tty as ubuntu logo is up [13:22] ryannathans: yes [13:22] that's hitting up or down arrow to switch between [13:22] ryannathans: all the processes is starting up init scripts networking etc... [13:23] ryannathans: instead of the logo [13:23] jair: ya, either down ot up arrow, can't remember [13:23] jair: that should be logged in something like /var/log/syslog [13:23] otak: yes but it is good to have the alternative to see everything while booting [13:24] It used to be that changing the boot line in grub could show you that [13:24] Stupid question of the morning -- I have a server PC with 4 gigs of DDR3 1600 mhz ram and a intel quad core processor. Until recently, this PC has been running great. Now it randomly crashes and I'm wondering if it's due to the memory load. It is running SQL, PHPmyAdmin, 5 websites (drupal and wordpress), a virtual machine WinXP using a single core and half a gig of ram on a stripped down Gnome install. Is 4gigs of ram too littl [13:25] kijutsu: doubt it [13:25] where are the config files for network manager vpn connections? [13:25] kijutsu: put it this way, i'm using 4 gb ram and and intel atom cpu at's dual core, it's doing more [13:26] ryannathans: I set up a swap partition of 8 gigs, and it rarely touches it, but within the past 2 weeks it's randomly died (hard lock, must power off the system) 4 or 5 times [13:26] kijutsu: morning? 3.30 pm here ;) [13:26] DustyMonk: *Shakes fist* damn time zones :) [13:27] I try to connect to a vpn but I always get a connection error. In the syslog I found this entry: SCPlugin-Ifupdown: devices added (path: /sys/devices/virtual/net/ppp0, iface: ppp0) [13:27] iceroot: Befor that need do anything steps. Edit /etc/apt/sourcelist. Write them: get http://oss.oracle.com/el4/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle -O- | sudo apt-key add -, after this write in terminal: sudo apt-get update. Than sudo apt-get install oracle-xe :-) [13:27] kijutsu: could be hdd dying [13:27] ryannathans: I thought that as well, and according to the individual manufacturer utilities, they are all working fine. I also performed a memtest86+ test for 36 hours upon initial build with no problems. [13:28] for a desktop (personal) use, Most people separate their /home as a different partition, so when/if they need to reinstall they can do it without back and recovering their data ? [13:28] ryannathans: what bugs me, is the log files aren't reporting any anomalies, it seems it crashes before it can write out any log information. [13:29] kijutsu: any smart errors? [13:29] Bartzy: its the settings for that apps that are stored in the /home directory [13:29] errors what for errors you mean [13:29] ryannathans: various smart errors on the cdrom because it's empty. [13:29] auronandace: Right, and generally I put the movies/tv shows/music there [13:29] Bartzy: you'd still have to reinstall the applications [13:30] kijutsu: lockups could also be caused by partially corrupted or bad kernel [13:30] Bartzy: yes, generally [13:30] ryannathans: I'm using the stock kernel of 11.04 server [13:30] Bartzy: i find it a lot easier to just have a seperate storage partition [13:30] o.0 [13:30] Bartzy: especially when dealing with more than one os [13:30] ryannathans: I'm tempted to roll back to 10.04 because of the issues I've been experiencing [13:30] could also be driver [13:31] if a rollback doesn't help, it'd have to be hardware [13:31] No oddball drivers other than NVidia [13:31] are you in the position to try a clean install [13:31] thatd be my last restort [13:31] I think I may have to [13:31] auronandace: more than one os meaning windows also? Or you format that storage partition as a linux filesystem ? [13:31] I want to bind F7 key to script for changing screen brightness, I edited the bind keys on gnome preferences and I binded F7 key to command: bash /etc/acpi/asus-brn-up.sh (this script works fine when I execute manually) but don't do nothing when I press F7 key (looks like don't execute the script), where can I edit this manually to execute this script? [13:31] sorry i couldn't help all the much [13:32] make sure all hardware is fine first [13:32] Bartzy: windows, openindiana and haiku [13:32] Bartzy: and other linux installs, so i make it ntfs (they all read it) [13:32] auronandace: So that storage parition is NTFS? [13:32] ryannathans: No worries -- just someone to bounce some stuff off of hlped -- much appreciated [13:32] ok [13:32] Bartzy: yes [13:33] hi, I have this problem, where I sometimes use a dual monitor. If I unplug it, all the gnome panel stuff is on the other side, and as I also unplug the cat5, I also usually need to switch on wireless. Can I do these 2 things from the command line? [13:33] on ubuntu 11.04 [13:34] so question 1) how do you switch gnome panel or somehow reconfigure a laptop back to single monitor, and how do you turn on and off wifi, from the command line? [13:35] Bartzy: fat32 would work also (but it has a max filesize limit of 4gb) [13:35] shomon: use monitors in administrator or settings [13:35] in administration? where is that? [13:35] if it's on the panel, it's on the other monitor... so gets cut off if I unplug it [13:36] i dont have a linux install handy, you can chage the default monitor and positions etc in there [13:36] and secondly, sudo ifconfig eth0 down will disable your cat5 [13:36] sudo ifconfig eth0 up will put it back u [13:36] sudo ifconfig eth0 up will put it back up [13:36] no, I want to turn on wifi, not turn off eth0 [13:36] o [13:37] presuming driver is loaded you could sudo ifconfig wlan0 up [13:37] shomon, type iwconfig [13:37] or if drivers isn't loaded do a sudo modprobe [13:37] aah okay... I'll do an ifconfig to see what it is and then run that... thanks [13:37] ok [13:37] in terminal [13:37] yes it's wlan0 [13:37] thanks [13:37] sudo rmmod will disable driver [13:37] sudo ifconfig wlan0 down will ofc bring that down first [13:38] wlan0 won't list in iwconfig if driver isn't loaded [13:38] ryannathans: it is recomended to use iwconfig rather than ifconfig for wireless [13:38] but what about running the monitor detection admin applet from command line? is it possible? I think it's an nvidia package [13:39] auronandace: wheely? === Senix is now known as look [13:40] ryannathans: to my understanding ifconfig is slowly being depreciated in linux === dreamer000_ is now known as dreamer000 [13:40] shomon: it's build into ubuntu last time i checked, if i can get this bitch to boot i could tell you [13:40] :) okay, well I'll be here.. good luck! [13:40] heh, thanks [13:40] why is ifconfig being phased out? [13:41] nfi, first i have heard of it ;) [13:41] shomon: pretty sure it only relates to wireless though, i think i read it on kernelnewbies [13:42] o well, when it's gone I won't miss it if there's an alturnative [13:42] stupid alturnate installer, go faster! === look is now known as Senix === ryannathans is now known as ryannathansAFK [13:49] <_DGM_> i have a harddrive with 1 partition on my server that i mount in fstab, but after a few hours it becomes unreadable [13:49] <_DGM_> when i reboot it's fine again [13:49] <_DGM_> ls: reading directory .: Input/output error === SoulShadow is now known as Shadows`school [13:50] _DGM_, I'd consider backing up the data as soon as possible.

Just don't install any drivers while on the other machine [14:38] yeah i installed LO [14:38] though it somehow seems much uglier than OO was :) [14:38] might put it back [14:38] hey u'all :-) ... here is a question: The Webkit library(Qt), how does one add the Flash-player plugin ?

It's less distracting, and it makes me spell better..lol [14:40] ActionParsnip: Firefox (or ubufox) is maintained by Ubuntu ...therefore you will find the "flashplugin-installer"-package in the repositories ...and the nessecary additionla files to integrate it with Mozilla Firefox ...however none seems to exist for WebKit(Qt) [14:40] 1 gpu tiem [14:40] KBentley57, well... im looking for a live usb to diagnosys the hardware of a machine... and compare to the minimum requirements.

Was the wierdest thing. I had to use a different one [14:43] ryannathansAFK: use the alternate installer, it uses a text installer [14:43] ActionParsnip: this IS the alturnate [14:43] just a black screet after i type in 'expert' and hit enter on bootmenu [14:44] keyboard/mouse/headset, nothing initialised [14:44] ryannathansAFK: set bios to failsafe settings [14:44] ActionParsnip: they are D: [14:44] ryannathansAFK: does the motherboard have onboard gpu?

I came across the same website doing my googling ...I will be more thorough with the page. [14:56] ram woulnd't cause that issue or he would have noticed it from windows [14:56] the bootloader failed to install on usb [14:57] memteste your ram over night and you will eventually find ram errors :-) [14:57] not true, if your ram is set up right [14:57] trojaner: it might take quite a few nights. [14:57] weeks. [14:59] i love how my ATI card fans blows out of proportion will i do metests and scandisks and wile im logged in safe mode :-) [14:59] KBentley57: ryannathansAFK: windows may detect bad ram and mark it as unusable, Ive seen people have bad ram in here] [15:00] If you maually set prime95 to use a custom fft length, and allow it to use most of your ram, it will tell you if you have errors. If that is clear after using 90% of your RAM, I would conclude the RAM was fine [15:00] If that is what was done of course [15:01] KBentley57: wrong. memtest is there for a reason. and it's also for a reason that you have to run it for hours to see [15:01] ActionParsnip: my ram is fine, for the over900th time [15:01] and windows cannot exclude bad RAM (maybe in some server versions, but not the normal ones) [15:01] how do you mount shared folders for ubuntu within VirtualBox? === ericm|ubuntu is now known as ericm-Zzz [15:01] i dont think that using a command line could prove so challenging to my 1g ram gfx card [15:02] I agree that memtest is good, lol! but I still think P95 will error out faster if there is an obvious problem [15:02] hallo, can you tell me how to reinstall sound drivers to the standard ones that were installed when installing ubuntu 10.10? [15:02] ryannathansAFK: the kernel panic you get, what does it say?

[15:02] arghx: it's random hex and mentions kernel alot, about 3 seconds according t olo [15:02] trojaner, FGLRX or radeon driver?

[15:03] sorry im using windows at the moment [15:03] Oh yeah, i didn't read the safe mode part [15:04] but its the same with linux [15:04] arghx: i been working on an android repo, i know what a kernel panic is [15:04] trojaner: if you run a ubuntu kernel (or any other recent linux one), there is. it's just that the poewrmanagement is not loaded/used, that's all [15:04] i have never seen anything like this before [15:04] but its the same with linux [15:04] exactly [15:04] even wordt the last time i tryed it [15:04] ryannathansAFK: that's nice, but it doesn't answer my question. since you say you know something, I except you to follow up with actual knowledge... [15:05] So finally i said Good Bye to network-manager, now all is tip top, apart of fact that is second interface is connected, i am spoofing myself, is there method of binding interfaces in one virtual?

Trying to work out if the issue is Chrome or Flash [15:15] bet it's chrome [15:15] what is a tool thats preferred to do graphics card benchmark testing [15:15] Reikoku: Does it matter if I use nightly or should I just install firefox? [15:15] Nightly should be fine [15:16] I use Aurora and works fine with flash [15:16] alright guys, I am running ubuntu 11.10 beta 2 and I want to install the nvidia drivers, but I need to boot ubuntu without x? [15:16] And I'm not using chromium, its google-chrome from google's repository [15:16] is there a such a thing as inittab so I can see the no x level? [15:16] or is there a command to stop x? [15:16] jair: you can boot with X and run the additional hardware tool [15:17] Yeah it seems to work with nightly probably a google-chrome issue [15:17] dtigue: I don't want to use x [15:17] hi guys. in kde there is a power profile dialog as a configuration program of the battery monitor. i miss this function in gnome/ubuntu. where can i find it or what should i install? [15:17] hi i'm testing ubuntu 11.10 rigth now. is there any way to reduce the power consumption and the fan speed? I used 10.10 before and it was pretty quite! [15:17] dtigue: because I need to install nvidia driver and my monitor is not working correctly with the ubuntu video settings [15:18] Qation, it might work for chrome if you install whole java as opposed to java plugin for mozilla. [15:18] so, how can I stop x if is running by default I guess something like init 5 right now? [15:18] very different in space consumption though [15:18] So install like openjre and openjdk or sun's java? [15:18] #ubuntu+1 | panhans [15:18] YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW TEMPTED I AM TO GO BACK TO VM!

[15:20] linux.com is back online ! [15:20] arghx: Don't be so harsh, we all get frustrated from time to time [15:20] Ubuntu, xubuntu, fedora, anything linux [15:20] ryannathans: OK, what part of it isn't working? [15:20] all of it. [15:20] ryannathans, then type /join #windows and reinstall? [15:20] So it doesn't boot, fails during boot? [15:21] arghx: let me try that [15:21] arghx, i got my problem fixed i believe. I disabled my discrete GPU in the bios, so now I'm running graphics solely on the integrated i7 gpu [15:21] Reikoku: for thr 4th time now, i get many kernel messages and it hangs around 3 seconds after trying to init [15:21] Boots but doesn't go into GUI? [15:21] lots of hex and random kernal messages [15:21] I have a socks5 proxy x.x.x.x and port. How can I ping google.com through it? [15:21] works fine on all computer but this one [15:21] *anonymous socks5 proxy [15:21] OK, what are the kernel messages? Is it a kernel panic? [15:21] the integrated gpu is the only one being listed now in lspci [15:21] Have you tried disabling APCI? [15:22] take a pic with your cell phone ryan, as soon as it boots so that you can decipher it better [15:22] grkblood: that's one way yes. but i prefer being able to switch when I really want :) [15:22] arghx: -su: /etc/init.d/gdm3: No such file or directory [15:22] root@astoria1:~# [15:22] KBentley57: will do [15:22] sorry about the xtra info [15:22] jair: it's upstart and not sysv anymore. which is why I wrote "or such", sorry [15:23] arghx: alright so what should I run? upstart gdm3 stop? [15:23] arghx, i wasnt able to do anything with switching because for wahtever reason the swticharoo folder would disappear from the debug folder and my system wont let me make that dir if it doesnt exist [15:23] jair: you could simply kill gdm of course if you wanted to be extra brutal :) [15:23] ryannathans: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelBoot This might help, but most kernel issues at boot can be fixed by adding acpi=off to the boot line [15:23] hello. Is there an image-viewer in Ubuntu that shows the position of the cursor in image coordinates AND let's you easily rotate through all images in a folder? (Or a plugin for eog or so?) [15:23] grkblood: when did/does it disappear? [15:24] I'm believing it's the 990fx [15:24] arghx: but there should be a script to do those type of tasks [15:24] jair: there is. but I dunno which one it is with ubuntu. and frankly: I don't care either [15:24] arghx, i know that it gets removed from the system after i run nomodeset to recover from the black screen of death [15:25] so i'm guessing its being created post grub [15:25] yes, that's normal then. which is why I told you not to boot with that. but otherwise it should always be there [15:25] nomodeset has several other unwanted side effects too, so you don't want to use it except for debugging purposes [15:25] hmm [15:25] interesting [15:26] ryannathans: I'd suggest booting acpi=off, if that works at least we know where the issue lies and can take it from there [15:26] It's solved 9/10 kernel boot issues that I've ever had [15:27] Reikoku: one day, when this server iso is written to usb, i shall [15:27] arghx, so is switcharoo created post grub or does nomodeset erase it and then the system recreates it once its booted normally again? [15:27] Especially considering the issue seems not to be distro-specific if it's happening with Fedora too [15:27] what's the default MTA on Ubuntu? [15:27] we all shall have pics [15:27] even might be my wallpaper for a week [15:27] ryannathans: Just don't give up :P Remember the alternative is Windows ;) [15:28] i been working in a vm for a few months [15:28] it's just not the same i tell you!

[15:31] adaptec 3805 [15:32] jair: ask in #ubuntu+1 for anything 11.10/oneiric based [15:32] arghx, how does that link tell us about the default package for MTA?

Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [15:33] spal: I cheated. only ones which could be "default" are exim or postfix. exim is missing there... :) [15:34] SIFTU, i found a link. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix says Postfix is the default. [15:34] kasper_: Try #ubuntu-es [15:34] spal: ah ok, well thats a good one [15:34] jair sudo init 3 [15:34] so any ideas about why sendmail is no longer the default. It used to have the largest market share before. Isn't it? [15:35] spal: 15 years ago. and it sucked. still does for most people [15:35] arghx, okay [15:36] what's everyone use now mail ways?

[15:48] DetachedScreen: no args in alias.. use functions [15:48] 11.04 writing to usb now [15:48] DetachedScreen: the linux standard is ps -ef btw, not all linux distros like aux, aux is the bsd standard [15:48] DetachedScreen: no, alias just changes the command line you run to the alias, then its ran [15:49] DetachedScreen: if you make a script you can use it as you setup (wouldn't need an alias then) [15:49] DetachedScreen: function pg() { ps aux | grep $1 } [15:50] SIFTU: in .bashrc ,functions go?

I do see some QMail Toaster though. [15:55] any idea why qmail and postfix rose to be the most popular MTA? [15:55] is that because of the rising popularity of Ubuntu and Debian based distros? [15:55] I mean windows, i down want to reformat my hd and re install windows... i am trying to run abuntu as well as windows [15:55] spal: postfix is nice and easy to configure, qmail was fast, but i thought they stopped developement of it a long time ago. Yahoo used to use (and modified) qmail [15:56] spal, exim is the preferred mta in debian, so no [15:56] hello, can someone help with firewall please [15:56] spal, and postfix is nice and their documentation is solid [15:56] albech, okay. "so no" to which question of mine? === Mud is now known as Guest44426 [15:57] df_: which windows version? [15:58] hello. I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 workstation 32.

I don't get this behavior in 10.04. What changed ? [15:58] spal, no to its gain is popularity is because of debian === root is now known as Guest19048 [15:58] !rootirc > Guest19048 [15:58] Guest19048, please see my private message [15:59] sburjan: use tab to complete the service name [15:59] Algum brasileiro ai ?

[16:08] yup [16:08] tried front_pannel and rear of mobo [16:09] what cpu is it ryannathans ? [16:09] amd phenom II T1100 hexcore [16:09] linux runs perfectly on another amd phenom II, it's a 945 thouogh [16:09] ryannathans: how was the usb stick made? [16:09] universal usb installer [16:10] works flawlessly on all other computers [16:10] unetbootin [16:10] tried trhat [16:10] it's not the usb/usbinstaller [16:10] ryannathans: try disabling apic and acpi just to test [16:10] ryannathans: done a memtest? [16:11] ryannathans: all I can recommend is test ram [16:11] ActionParsnip : I just managed to find that file I was after - just in case is of interest : /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache [16:11] regards [16:11] popey: all hardware is healthy [16:11] basilbear: thats the manual way :D [16:11] ryannathans: thats not what I asked :D [16:11] yes i have. [16:11] u can create usb ubuntu stick with unetbootin [16:11] sure thing [16:11] ryannathans: any other usb devices plugged in? [16:11] popey: keyboard [16:11] mouse [16:11] headset [16:11] ryannathans: remove the headset [16:11] ryannathans: i had a machine which went haywire with anything other than kb/mouse [16:11] it's best to install Ubuntu directly, not from the Live environment. I have similar problems with 11.10. [16:12] ryannathans: I'd also run memtest overnight [16:12] ryannathans: also test with an 11.10 usb stick to see if it is the same on latest kernel. [16:13] hard drives are in native ide [16:13] popey: i cant download anything [16:13] i have many linux distros to use here though [16:14] ryannathans: on another computer?

[16:15] But what happened? I ran into some bootloader issues before =/ [16:15] ActionParsnip: the ram is good [16:15] I've tried Ubuntu's "Startup Applications" but after several logins, it runs several copies [16:15] ryannathans: did you run memtest on it? [16:15] last time i had a linux distro fry my nic [16:15] ActionParsnip: that's the first thing i did [16:15] Hello everyone. How reliable is smartctl? If you look at this 'smartctl --all /dev/sdb' report, would you say the HDD is about to fail? http://pastie.org/2671742 [16:15] ryannathans: good [16:15] leeping, what do you mean "copies"? [16:15] leeping: one copy of what? [16:16] leeping, oh, you mean it does it each time you log in? [16:16] I might have meant "instance" instead of copy [16:16] Yeah. I have several startup scripts that create SSH tunnels [16:16] all i get after post now is a freakin _ [16:16] flashing.. [16:16] but now I'm typing "ps aux | grep ssh" and I see several instances of each script [16:16] where I only need one [16:16] ryannathans: nomodeset can fix that [16:16] ActionParsnip: i don't even get to boot usb yet [16:17] this is before my raid card even initialises [16:17] I would normally put things in /etc/init.d but Ubuntu changed the way it handles startup processes a couple years back and I never really figured out how to configure it now [16:18] there we go [16:18] apparently hitting f12 killed it [16:18] leeping: you can put scripts in /etc/rc.local script, it will run at boot [16:18] leeping, you might want to look at /etc/rc.local. That shouldn't get messed around with updates and stuff, and is easy to use [16:19] ActionParsnip, emorris, thanks. :) [16:19] still same problem [16:19] no headset [16:21] I RAGEQUIT [16:21] i been working on this for days [16:21] guess what? no linux for me?y you know why? it fails to even start, that's how good it is, [16:22] yet, fail windows works flawlessly [16:22] and mac is horrid, i'm not even goiing to go there [16:22] i'm suck in a big freakin' hole with no way out [16:22] just running in circles [16:22] ryannathans, sounds like a hardware issue to me. I have a machine which runs windows xp fine. Anything else, nope.

[16:26] ryannathans: if you use trim, you do not need this [16:26] eh? [16:27] ryannathans: trim says: hello ssd, this sector is free now [16:27] you don't need reserved space for trim [16:27] still not viable to install linux to ssd [16:27] ryannathans: this was at the beginning, when they told: keep space free, because we have no way to tell the os what is really free [16:27] jachaj [16:27] i see [16:28] ryannathans: is it a real raid card or the motherboard raid [16:28] ryannathans: the only thing in linux you need is add "noatime,discard" into fstab [16:28] real raid card RRP 600$ [16:28] ryannathans: that is all [16:29] I can't go buying a new computer to hope that it will work [16:29] because we have no idea what linux will run on [16:30] It needs to be high end for A: cryptography, and B: GPU Rendering === Fred_ is now known as Guest31113 [16:30] mdadm works well for soft raid, if that is any consolation [16:30] That would be nice, if it would freakin' boot -.- [16:31] ubuntu clonezilla talks to the raid array like a normal hdd, the problem can't be there [16:31] that works fine [16:32] it's flawless [16:32] on this computer === th0r1 is now known as th0r [16:34] firstly, does anyone have ANY idea what's going on in the image I posted?

[18:13] hi is there any one to solve my problem http://paste.ubuntu.com/705522/ [18:13] http://pastebin.com/N9fNUnGS [18:14] iAngry, I've HP printers have the best history with Linux and as printers in general [18:14] MrElendig, is it possible to get an older flash vresion? [18:14] iAngry: have you installed, and are you using, CUPS? [18:14] gribouille: you do not want an old flash [18:14] MrElendig, why not? [18:14] th0r: Yes [18:15] If I run "dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.Previous" from an SSH session I get "Failed to open connection to "session" message bus: /bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally with the following error: Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed." Anyone? [18:15] gribouille: many sites blocks old flash, and others exploits the security holes in the older versions [18:15] MrElendig, not a 10 years old version [18:15] CyberWorld: samsung actually is generally less of a pain [18:15] combatjuan: What do you mea by upstart not being installed? Ubuntu doesn't support any other init sytem. [18:15] th0r: if anything wierd in the http://pastebin.com/N9fNUnGS report? [18:16] Can you not run a dbus command through SSH to send a control to a program running in the GUI? [18:16] Jordan_U, MrElendig: I guess I was wrong about that. I assumed since "man upstart" gave me "No manual entry for upstart" that it wasn't installed. I was wrong. [18:16] huh MrElendig don't know much about them for printers. Just know I've always had good luck with HP printers and Linux. Think of Samsung as more display kings. [18:16] btw /me thinks this might be the issue, on dmesg | tail -> i get this -> [ 2796.692811] usb 1-1: usbfs: interface 0 claimed by usblp while 'usb' sets config #1 === kilon_ is now known as kilon [18:17] iAngry: it looks like the printer isn't correctly connected. Did you try a test page from within cups when you installed? [18:17] I can't get any sound to output via hdmi. Can someone assist in diagnosing (ubuntu 10.04) [18:17] yes, it goes in the jobs schedule, just doesn;t complete them, and shows it as pending [18:18] th0r: yes, it goes in the jobs schedule, just doesn;t complete them, and shows it as pending [18:18] th0r:dmesg seems to give me this. any ideas if this si the issue [ 2796.692811] usb 1-1: usbfs: interface 0 claimed by usblp while 'usb' sets config #1 [18:18] hello, any body please tell me how to install google chrome on ubuntu 9.10 [18:18] However, if upstart doesn't do the logging by default, I'm afraid that's still not an option for me because I certainly hadn't told it to. It looks to me like the network script imports /lib/lsb/init-functions which try and do some logging with syslogd? [18:19] gaby: karmic is no longer supported [18:19] iAngry: it looks from the first lines of your pastebin that the printer isn't connected properly to cups. But to be honest, the only printer I have used in years is the pdf printer [18:19] ActionParsnip : how can i do it then ? [18:19] hi all [18:19] gaby: I recommend upgrading to a supported release. [18:20] Polah, how to upgrade -please guide me [18:20] gaby: you need to upgrade to Lucid [18:20] gaby: or clean install Natty or even Oneiric :) [18:20] !upgrade | gaby [18:20] gaby: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [18:20] clean install may be simpler [18:20] th0r: {'cups_connection_failure': False}. That means that connection test was successful, wasn't it? [18:21] Is there a special channel for advanced network config in Ubuntu? [18:21] Any news on when 11.10 is coming out I know it is soon? [18:21] che3ver: here, or maybe in #networking [18:21] CyberWorld: ask in #ubuntu+1 please [18:21] CyberWorld: Thursday [18:21] iAngry: looks like line 1 indicates an error, but like I said, I am not an expert on printers. Might be better served if you put it to the chanel again [18:22] ok thanks guys [18:22] CyberWorld: "when it's ready" [18:22] ok so i am now using the livecd [18:22] but how do i access this gparted? [18:22] diki: via the interface, its the same as an installed OS [18:22] yeah I think "when it's ready" is a better philosophy then just a date [18:22] Hi, anyone with experience with printers? I am facing a small problem, the printer is connected, however does not seem to print. Here is the output of some info http://pastebin.com/FHye1sMX I have already installed the drivers, it specifically includes cndrvcups-capt and cndrvcups-common. The printer is detected, and even adds to files to the print queue, however just keeps the jobs pending [18:22] Do i have to hit install ubuntu or try ubuntu? [18:23] is there any way i can compare 2 directories' contents [18:23] iAngry: you missed which printer make and model which is probably the most crucial piece of info [18:23] I'm trying to vnc into a windows box. I'm in, but I'd like for everything to fit on the screen. Anyone know how to do this with vncviewer? I can use either the java version (brandy new) or the cli (1.3-ish) [18:23] windblowz is basically beta it's whole life cycle lolz [18:23] lol [18:23] CyberWorld, hehe... [18:23] Thanks, I'm trying to find any documentation or info on possibly assigning segregating interface traffic by port. Like "use wireless for ports 80 and 443 and eth0 for all other traffic" [18:24] che3ver, I wonder if iptables might do it. [18:24] it can [18:24] I'll look at that. thanks [18:24] diki: try ubuntu [18:25] ActionParsnip : Sorry, justleft it lying in the pastebin. [18:25] model canon LBP 2900b [18:25] and ubntu 10.10 [18:25] wait a minute, this gparted is a differnet tool? [18:25] *different [18:25] not from the ubuntu livecf?

[18:25] *cd === Fred_ is now known as Guest16560 [18:25] diki: yes - it's part of the liveCD [18:25] well i went into try ubuntu [18:26] diki: System -> Administration -> GParted [18:26] however when i enter in the terminal gparted it says only dameon 0 can inhibit this [18:26] diki: sudo gparted [18:26] diki: gksudo gparted in the terminal [18:26] diki, fritsch: gksudo gparted [18:27] do i have to partition the unpartition space first? [18:27] !gksudo | fritsch [18:27] fritsch: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [18:27] diki: what are you trying to do? [18:28] resize a partition to ADD more space to it [18:28] diki: no, expand the partition into the space [18:28] Jordan_U: thx [18:28] no i am not getting any expand option [18:29] fritsch: You're welcome. [18:29] hi is there any one to solve my problem http://paste.ubuntu.com/705522/ [18:29] !resize [18:29] Jordan_U: do you know why, btw. :-) [18:29] diki: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/larry/resize/resizing.htm [18:29] /part [18:29] OIM: Just ask your question [18:29] Jordan_U: gksu is just a grahical layer for the libgksu which uses sudo and su [18:30] fritsch: See the link from ubottu. [18:30] che3ver, I wonder if iptables might do it. [18:30] yeats:nothing about expanding there [18:30] fritsch: sudo is only for cli. Gksudo sets up the environment for X apps to run, sudo does not [18:31] ActionParsnip: got it. read the link from Jordan_U [18:31] ActionParsnip: thx :-) [18:31] Polah: ı can't update or install any packeges [18:31] fritsch: thats why we have ubottu, she rocks [18:31] After 2days update my browser cannot load Flash banner on the site. Banner is working and can be load from another OS. What can be a problem? [18:32] yeah nowhere does it allow me to expand [18:32] ActionParsnip: problem is, what has been trained over 10 years is hard to change :-) [18:32] i see the slider, but i cant move it past the limits [18:32] ActionParsnip: when ubuntu introduced the sudo way, i stopped using su [18:32] ActionParsnip: and so on [18:33] The_BROS: can you give a pastebin of: cat /etc/lsb-release; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf' === Chotaz_ is now known as Chotaz [18:34] fritsch: you can use: sudo -i if you want ;-) === meta_coder is now known as meta-coder [18:34] what's the deal with these migration wizards, why can't they be turned off? [18:34] OIM: what did you do to break your perl? [18:34] hey, I'm quite stuck at the moment, my computer keeps locking itself into read-only mode. I've no idea why. Each time I have to boot to a cd, run fsck, which finds errors and corrects them and then it's ok for a bit before it goes read-only again [18:34] So..it doesnt allow me to move the slider [18:34] ActionParsnip: Sorry. Im a beginner. What should I do? [18:34] anyone know how to do it? [18:34] ActionParsnip: cool :-) [18:35] Ellipsis753: do a long SMART test on your hdd [18:35] arghx: ı don't know :) [18:35] arghx, Ok, thank you, fuck. I really hope it's not harddrive damage [18:35] OIM: perl doesn't break like that randomly [18:36] Ellipsis753: language, please [18:36] sorry, I forget [18:36] Ellipsis753: when it keeps "locking itself into ro mode" it usually gives an error message beforehand [18:36] The_BROS: copy the command and run it in a terminal, then visit http://pastie.org and paste the text there. When the page changes, copy the address bar and paste here [18:36] arghx: realy ı don't know much about, ı just make to upgrades and that is all, no extra force [18:36] OIM: it didn't break like that on its own... [18:36] ActionParsnip: ok [18:37] OIM: what did you run before you upgraded? [18:37] arghx, Do you know where I could read this error if it exists? It's a little strange. I way thinking perhaps I've corrupted the filesystem too much? Anyhow, the smart test will be done in half an hour. I'll back back then ^^ [18:37] * Ellipsis753 crosses fingers [18:38] Ellipsis753: kernel logs. dmesg [18:38] arghx: it is a problem near a month, but ı just use it to web and that is all [18:38] I tried to install xubuntu 10.04 over my 8.04 install by formating the root partition, but the install broke when it got to that migration part, couldn't turn it off in the configuration (I'm using standard desktop disk) [18:38] Ellipsis753: how big is that disk? cause half an hour is very very fast for a full smart test [18:38] SO [18:38] Urchin: why would your format? [18:38] Its not working [18:39] well, its not working, cause i am not getting the options i need [18:39] arghx: is there any way to fix it up [18:39] arghx, In that case it may take longer, half an hour is my judging from the loading bar, also it's 1tb. So if it fails the test I'll have to get another disk? [18:39] to get a clean partition, why else? [18:39] http://pastie.org/2672463 [18:39] Ellipsis753: it won't "fail" per se [18:39] Urchin: did you md5 test the iso you downloaded? Did you burn the CD as slowly as possible? [18:40] OIM: depends on what you did [18:40] ActionParsnip: Everything loaded fine before [18:40] ActionParsnip: no [18:40] arghx, I'm meaning will the smart test suggest there's no way to sort out this read-only problem and I'll have to buy a new one? [18:41] Urchin: then how did you know the ISO was complete and consistent? [18:41] Anyone? [18:41] a disk going read only is not your problem. it's a symptom, not the cause [18:41] The_BROS: excellent work :-) [18:41] ActionParsnip: any ideas? [18:42] I'm asking if the migration stuff can't be turned off [18:42] diki: what is your current partition layout? === Bobsworth is now known as jamt9000 [18:43] Urchin: what migration when you blew away your installation beforehand? [18:43] arghx:just a sec for a screenshot [18:43] is it really so that I can't extend the size of the partition I'm running my os on? I just removed my dualboot because I need the entire disc :| [18:44] arghx, I understand thank you. Oh well just waiting on test results then :p [18:44] Here is how it looks [18:44] http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/696/unledo.jpg [18:44] KinkyPinkie: use the liveCd to resize it. === meta-coder is now known as robinetd [18:45] my pc wont boot from either cd or usb, so I got ubuntu from windows installer. [18:45] diki: resize your extended partition [18:45] The_BROS: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [18:45] no i want the unallocated space [18:45] the other thing is swap so [18:47] diki: then move your extended partition at the end and then resize sda1 [18:47] The_BROS: then close all browsers and rerun to load the plugin afresh [18:47] they seem to be locked [18:48] ActionParsnip: thanx. I will try [18:48] Diki: are they mounted? [18:48] hi, i have a dreamplug which shipped with jaunty. trying to apt-get update with 'http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jaunty ...' but it always times out. [18:48] action:well i the unmount option is disabled, on the linux-swap filesystem i get swapoff [18:48] that is all [18:48] anyone have a mirror or updated location for the sources.list for old releases? [18:49] diki: if you run: mount do you see sda anywhere? [18:49] rajesh: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [18:49] Diki: swapoff, use that [18:49] in the termina? No [18:49] *terminal [18:50] Diki: wherever you saw it. The swap space has been picked up by the kernel and is being used. [18:51] i am using a livecd, so how? [18:51] hi is here anyway to get faster flash player on ubuntu? [18:51] so i basically need to get the gparted itself? [18:51] Diki: in gparted [18:52] as i understand it, the ubuntu livecd is using this swap space [18:52] bastidrazor: thanks, checking... [18:52] brazil??

[18:57] The_BROS: what browsers have you tried? [18:57] diki: you are not supposed to resize it [18:58] then what do i do? [18:58] ActionParsnip: I think so === \__\ is now known as meta-coder [18:58] diki: as I told you: MOVE it. you can of course delete and recreate it too which is probably faster. your choice [18:58] how can I change my output to VGA via a terminal? [18:59] arghx:the resize/move is merged === stein-afk is now known as stein-on [18:59] ActionParsnip: only FF [18:59] swapoff, then in gparted delete swap partition, resize main partition however you like, then recreate swap partition in remaining space [18:59] all i get is a slider i can move [18:59] like right and left [19:00] and even if i make it big or small, i still dont have the ability to move the slider on the main partition [19:00] The_BROS: thought to try others, see if it works there...?

[19:10] you chroot to your ubuntu installation. there is a grub-install there === stefanie is now known as Stefaniefleur [19:10] vegaman: thank you too! [19:11] np.... so anyone know how to get sound working on ubuntu? [19:11] arghx: Problem is, I need a newer version of GRUB (to support mdraid metadata 1.2) [19:11] intgr: you mount your ubuntu, bind mount /dev and /proc into it too, then chroot to it [19:11] i know what i need to do but cannot find out how to do it [19:11] then you chroot, install said newer grub and use it [19:11] vegaman: what do you need to do, pray tell? [19:12] arghx: Where can I find the newer grub packages on the install CD? [19:12] i need to change my default sound card [19:12] ActionParsnip: i have not run fsck, so cannot say that disk has no problems with certainty... but i do know that i had this problem with this very machine a few years ago. just can't remember what i did to get around this erroneous error message === Lemon`BRB is now known as SideSW1PE [19:12] basically switch a 1 to a 0 and a 0 to a 1 [19:12] intgr: what makes you sure they are on the cd? and if they are, why haven't they been installed when you installed ubuntu? [19:12] !fsck | jmichaelx [19:12] jmichaelx: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [19:13] vegaman: http://alsa.opensrc.org/MultipleCards [19:13] My Windows partition is acting wonky,so I went to run chkdsk on it but it wouldn't boot up. Is there any way I can do some equivilent to Windows' chkdsk on the Windows partition from my (working) Ubuntu partition? [19:13] arghx: The CD is a newer version than the machine I'm recovering. Obviously they are on the CD, otherwise you couldn't install Ubuntu from the CD. [19:13] ActionParsnip: i wasn't asking what fsck was... [19:14] intgr: man find in this case [19:14] hhh [19:14] arghx: i think you need the desktop cd. You may be able to do it with server but I'm not personally aware how [19:14] Kumquat_: not anything you can trust in any way. especially not if windows' own chkdsk doesn't fix it [19:14] arghx: i tried that..... but i'll do it again gimmiw a bit [19:14] ActionParsnip: need it for what? [19:15] jmichaelx: it gives a command how to make it run at boot too... [19:15] arghx: I can't run Windows' chkdsk in the first place [19:15] hello! i just uninstalled winxp and installed ubuntu 10.10 on a standard PC. But now the PC works very slow, even slower than when it was running winxp. Watching video's on youtube is the worst. And i constantly see high CPU usage. What can i do to make Ubuntu faster? [19:15] ActionParsnip: he has a fully installed ubuntu. I'm sure man find works fine there [19:15] figure002: what hardware? [19:15] Which is why I want to run it from Ubuntu [19:15] arghx: oh thought you were chrooting..? [19:16] ActionParsnip: ty, i appreciate the info [19:16] figure002: you can't expect a os made in 2011 to be just as light as one made in 1999 [19:16] ActionParsnip: you mean he needs desktop cd to be able to chroot? [19:16] figure002: what video chip are you using? [19:16] I'm trying to vnc into a windows box. I'm in, but I'd like for everything to fit on the screen. Anyone know how to do this with vncviewer? I can use either the java version (brandy new) or the cli (1.3-ish) [19:16] arghx: to my knowledge, yes [19:16] MrElendig: i don't know much about the hardware [19:17] ActionParsnip: i don't know either, lemme check.... [19:17] ActionParsnip: your knowledge is lacking. he can even use chroot frm the ubuntu installation if it's not on the CD. as long as he can mount the partition, all is fine [19:17] figure002: open the case and have a look, or check pcuinfo, lspci etc === matt is now known as Guest19079 [19:17] figure002: also, flash on gnu/linux is really buggy, and the hw acceleration in it is mostly broken [19:17] MrElendig: it is just as light, its probably a driver issue ;-) [19:18] flash has worked great since 10 [19:18] ActionParsnip: *cough*. while I agree about the driver issue, light, not so much :P [19:18] arghx: even from server cd? [19:18] Ben64: if only [19:18] MrElendig: pcuinfo doesn't work [19:18] cpuinfo [19:18] i've had native 64 bit flash that runs great since then [19:18] afternoon all!

[19:20] Ben64: then you were using the old and horrible insecure beta release in nov 2010 [19:20] arghx: i guess ctrl+alt+f2 would work on the server cd. Am I right? [19:20] ActionParsnip: ok, i ran fsck, but no errors were found [19:20] MrElendig: and who knows how many security holes 64bit flash has already again since they never update it like the rest of their stuff [19:20] Ben64: which many sites blocked [19:21] ActionParsnip: yes [19:21] !ping [19:21] another contentless ping... sigh...

Not so lacking ;-) [19:21] jmichaelx: inodes are free? [19:22] figure002: outch, unicrome [19:22] theres your problem figure002 [19:22] MrElendig, Ben64: what is? [19:22] figure002: you can pretty much forget about hw acceleration on that [19:22] ActionParsnip: not a lesson! just a reminder what the installers can do [19:22] very old [19:22] MrElendig: what's HW acceleration? [19:22] xorg devs are even dropping the driver for it [19:22] figure002: unichrome aren't great. Try minitube [19:22] figure002: hardware acceleration [19:22] hardware accel [19:23] arghx: totally. Still appreciate it :) [19:23] arghx: yes.... i have seen this before. the disk actually was full when i got the message the first time (it is an 8GB SSD on a netbook)... but after making space, the system refuses to realize that disk is no longer full [19:23] so it has no hardware accell., what hardware does it usually accellerate? everything? [19:24] pretty graphics [19:24] the rendering of your desktop, browser, playback of video [19:24] hi guys who knows a good firewall [19:24] newer flash uses it to make video faster and less cpu intensive [19:24] Ben64: alright, but that doesn't explain the constant loading and high CPU usage, or does it? [19:24] jmichaelx: let me websearch [19:24] bastidrazor: yeah, i think i was reading that same EOL page, but get stuck at the first step of updating sources.list to point to `old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jaunty`. it just times out. and i don't think it's a network issue on my end. [19:24] Ben64: ahh [19:24] sorry, typing one handed [19:24] anyone here being able to apt-get update against http://old-releases.ubuntu.com ?

[19:28] figure002: using vlc/mplayer/minitube can make youtube playback a bit less painfully [19:28] -y [19:28] ok, so, my best bet is to replace the graphical card? what *with* hw acceleration? [19:28] jmichaelx: seems trash related. Could also use bleachbit, run it as root and user, avoid settings saying they will take a long time and watch app settings or it'll remove settings you want [19:29] figure002: that could also be a good solution, eg getting a gts520 if you have a pcie slot [19:29] MrElendig: I actually tried Totem with youtube instead, but it was still way too slow [19:29] figure002: and hope that vdpau actually works for you in flash [19:29] figure002: is it a desktop [19:29] if not, just use mplayer :) [19:29] Ben64: yes it is [19:30] ActionParsnip: i think i *may* have figured this out.... i just remove the package it had been trying to install (kernel headers), and it allowed me to do that. am now rebooting into older kernel, and will see if it will now let me upgrade [19:30] you might want to consider replacing almost everything : / [19:30] MrElendig: ok, so GTS520, will look that up, thanks! [19:30] figure002: if you can, sure. A cheap nvidia will run well. If its a laptop you will be out of luck [19:30] no way a gts250 would fit in there [19:30] Ben64 : that not helps [19:30] jmichaelx: ahhh sweet [19:30] old motherboard = limited to pci or agp cards [19:30] old cpu = still limited by that [19:31] and agp cards is not worth wasting money on [19:31] There are decent enough agp cards for flash to run ok [19:31] yeah you'd spend as much for an ok agp card as you would a very good pcie [19:31] and iirc there are no nvidia cards with vdpau that is agp either [19:31] Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone knew where there was a good document outlining how to modify a Ubuntu Install Image and add drivers that I need. [19:32] i bought upgrades recently, quad core amd, 4GB ram, gts250 for $250 [19:32] To complete an install [19:32] Ben64: yeah but what good is a pci-e video card with no pci-e slot....

I haven't noticed anything like this in gentoo (although it's infrequent anyway) and I did have to hard-reset the computer at one point which more or less started this (after I had to fsck the OS etc.) So I'm hoping this is an ubuntu system file that's ruined and is messing things up. That [22:26] way hopefully I can replace it. [22:27] This has only just started (since that hard-reset I think) so it couldn't be a conf. setup problem.

I can't make changes to the repo itself, or post details of it publicly. [22:36] x2321: does that user, erin, have read permissions on the share path? [22:37] daftykins, yea ;/ the dir is owned by x:x but it is 777 [22:38] x2321: erk =E tried forcing the owner to erin:erin just for a test? [22:40] geez. 550 packages take a long time to install. [22:41] daftykins, nah, im just going to be storing a few images of hard drives so I can chang the permissions to -w or whatever manually later. it needs to be x:x since it stores movies etc for my home theater ;\ [22:42] x2321: ah ok. i do the same thing by having the group owner as a group "server" that all the users are a member of [22:43] daftykins, hrm.. what ? :-) [22:44] I usually use nfs but my gf insists on having a windows computer so I gotta use samba too -.- [22:45] qn re sources.list… I want to access packages in http://foo.com/packages/dists/maverick/bar/binary-any and with the line "deb http://foo.com maverick bar" I always get "failed to fetch http://foo.com/packages/dists/maverick/bar/binary-i386/Packages.tgz." how can I work around this?

[22:45] x2321: so say i want 3 users on something, the permissions are 760 or 660, with owner nobody:group - where "group" = "server". then, the share in the samba config has a parameter "forcegroup = server" and "createmask = 0660" or so to force it [22:46] User_San_: unfinished release support is usually catered for in #ubuntu+1 [22:46] !oneiric [22:46] Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) will be the fifteenth release of Ubuntu.

Problem is my arch is i386 and apt-get update always appends that instead of letting me get to binary-any on the repo.
