[00:25] wheres the problem [00:25] text in the menu [00:26] it is compatible, there is a folder titled "linux" i extracted the files, but i cant understand how to install the driver.... the readme is over my head [00:26] Ben64, what reisio said [00:26] looks like a problem with your theme [00:26] check my website: http://rep.sdf.org [00:26] zimb0: please don't advertise [00:27] I tried using setxkbmap -option crtl:swapcaps, and now I can't turn it off even though I've removed the line from local.rc [00:27] Alright [00:27] i just did a server install, but i ended up adding the gnome gui and i want to get the disk manager as well. Whats it called? Trying to install it with apt [00:27] spreadneck205: it's be pretty surprising if you don't already have the driver available to modprobe [00:27] hello yall [00:27] MACscr|lappy: how did you install gnome [00:27] spreadneck205: maybe rt2800usb [00:28] reisio: im not sure what you mean [00:28] Ben64: sudo aptitude install gnome-desktop --without-recommendations [00:28] or something like that [00:28] I mean when there are drivers for things, they're added to the kernel, you don't have to rely on random install discs [00:28] why without? i think it would have installed disk manager [00:28] spreadneck205: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Asus%20USB-N13_Natty%2011.04 [00:29] "never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups" [00:30] reisio: ok, ill try that.. it says something about n-band not working? thats the only reason i would need the driver [00:30] spreadneck205: n _speed_ is what I remember reading [00:30] for a particular version [00:31] MACscr|lappy: "sudo apt-get install gnome-disk-utility" is probably what you want [00:31] so it might not give you as fast a connection as it is physically able to, because of the driver, but it'll work [00:31] Ben64: because i didnt want all the extra crap like office or evolution, etc [00:31] GNOME is pretty enormous even without that stuff [00:31] reisio: right, im using my internal wifi right now... i just got this so i would get faster internet... works awesome iin windows, but if it wont give me better speeds than b/g then i can just use the one im on now [00:32] Good evening, where do i need to go for installation issues? [00:32] spreadneck205: well check [00:32] reisio: ok thanks [00:32] spreadneck205: if it doesn't, what I'd do is check for a newer version that does [00:32] ok cool [00:32] spreadneck205: or if both those drivers work for it, perhaps try the other one [00:32] * reisio shrugs [00:33] does ubuntu run on intel xeon machines?

For anyone else interested: dpkg -s gcc [01:06] Would someone mind helping me with a slight issue involving wlan drivers? [01:06] blueprotoman:are you trying to do a full install or run with windows? [01:07] hunter_: Dual-boot with Windows 7, but use Ubuntu primarily. I've already got Ubuntu installed, it just doesn't work properly. [01:07] Eearslya: why don't you just update from 10.04 to 11.04 [01:07] Still got the shell, but no xorg.conf, apparently. [01:07] reisio: Other way. [01:07] That seemed to be the hot topic last night. [01:07] Eearslya: ah :) [01:07] Eearslya: you's backwads! :p [01:08] Eearslya: for usb booting did you use ubuntu tool? [01:08] tanzy:sure what sems to be the issue? [01:08] hunter_: Oh, and it's all been partitioned, too. [01:08] reisio: 10.04 didn't give me as many issues as 11.04 has. [01:08] laumonier: You mean wubi? [01:08] scottamunga: i found this here: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/08/install-ubuntu-1010-light-themes-in.html [01:09] 11.10 will be out in a couple days [01:09] hunter_? [01:09] hey all, trying to upgrade from 10.10 to 11.4, getting a "E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages." message. i /think/ i need to downgrade some packages, but i don't know how to figure out which ones. any advice? [01:09] blueprotoman:hmm when i installed it on my asus celeron processor computer it worked fine which ubuntu version is it? [01:09] In Natty and Oneiric, when booting , where it would normally show the boot logo, my monitor says "Out of Range". Is there a way to see what resolution is being used? [01:09] reisio: I tried the nomodeset but I cant get into grub [01:10] hunter_: I installed ubuntu 10.04.3 and I am unable to get my linksys wusb11 (ver 2.8) to even be recognized by the system [01:10] hunter_: 11.04, alternate (official) version with different drivers. [01:10] Eearslya: did you use a tool like unetbootin to make your usb key bootable?if not i adivse you to use this its really a good tool [01:10] hunter_: Mind if we bring this to PM? [01:10] bkerensa: what do you need to get into grub for [01:10] do you guys think its generally a bad idea to do first day upgrade? [01:10] well update [01:10] Eearslya: some examples here: http://www.panticz.de/MultiBootUSB [01:10] reisio: To fix this venetian blinds nvidia issue [01:11] Eearslya: it might actually be less trouble, though, if you have the free partition space, to install in a VM and copy it over [01:11] tanzy:i had the same prob with a wireless caard i think he system uses ethernet [01:11] Eearslya: the only issue with that is you'd have to take care to make sure your vital drivers are installed, as the VM will confuse the installer's auto-detection-and-configure stuffo [01:11] blueprotoman:sure [01:12] bkerensa: does the installed system boot or not? [01:12] Well, I have a blank 4.00GB space on my HDD for whatever reason..But I can't seem to format it while Ubuntu is running. [01:12] blueprotoman:or call me and i can talk you through it [01:12] reisio: It boots but instead of the normal boot splash screen it is black and then upon login it goes to the venetian blinds [01:12] hunter_ I am nable to use ethernet. I broght the system over to a friend's house to a wired connection in order to suss the problem and get my wireless working... [01:12] I need help trying to install tor [01:13] hunter_: unable* [01:13] bkerensa: okay, change to the binary driver [01:13] bkerensa: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [01:13] scorinitron: What kind of help? [01:14] tanzy:try reinstalling the system with ethernet plugged in [01:16] Real quick, you can access Ubuntu One files from other OS, correct? [01:16] yes [01:16] one.ubuntu.com === wyang is now known as Guest25773 [01:16] or witha client. i think there's w indows one. not sure about MacOS [01:17] no Kubuntu client :( [01:17] !tor | scorinitron [01:17] scorinitron: Tor is a program to route connections through several servers for anonymity. It is in Ubuntu's repositories, but the Tor Project recommends using their Tor packages due to past issues with Ubuntu's. For setup info, see option (2) of https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en | To use Tor on freenode, see !tor-sasl [01:17] reisio: Thanks :D Its in progress now [01:18] hey guys [01:19] hey hunter_ [01:20] reisio:you a computer person? [01:20] Anyone here know how I might get Ubuntu on my laptop working? When I dual-boot it (opposed to Windows 7) via GRUB, I only get a blinking cursor. I can access recovery mode (aka a shell), though. [01:21] hunter_: yup, I'm made of circuit boards and the like [01:21] Is 11.10 actually rolled into an iso yet? [01:21] iszak: ask in #ubuntu+1 [01:22] reisio: awesome same here im running out of room for my computer stuff [01:22] yeah one time I lost my leg, but I could still ssh into it [01:22] iszak: there are isos, but the release manager will choose the release iso [01:23] iszak: http://releases.ubuntu.com/oneiric/ [01:25] Hello? Anyone? [01:25] hey [01:25] any one .. how to make default session on light dm (gnome3.2 ) by commoan line [01:25] lol i have the exact same question ayman :D [01:25] ayman: just choose the session [01:26] then it should automatically rechoose that one [01:26] i have a toshiba ac100 [01:26] whats up guys [01:26] GTRsdk: dm is the session manager [01:27] reisio: I use lightdm all of the time and if I choose Ubuntu, it will automatically use Ubuntu. If I choose 2D, then it will automaticall use 2D. [01:28] even when autologin in? [01:28] GTRsdk: just hasn't anything to do with what he asked for [01:28] why am i unable to change the screen birghtness percentage while on battery power though the power management? [01:29] oh. by CLI. [01:29] no but i replaced ubuntu with lubuntu-desktop [01:29] and had to click through the gui [01:29] that sucks :D [01:29] hey i need help [01:30] yes by cli [01:30] little420smoke: with what? [01:30] hunter i need to remove ubuntu from my computer but it is the only os on the system..... so what do i do [01:31] i have this strange bug thats forcing me to resize thunderbird before i close it. using natty, i have global menus turned off, i have allow all apps to minmize to sys tray. If i close an app while it is maximized and it goes to the system tray i am not able to grab and move other open maximized windows by grabbing it at the title bar. [01:31] little420smoke: why do you need to remove it? [01:31] lol that was not the question reisio but nice try :) [01:31] little420smoke:do you have another os your gonna use? [01:31] reisio because im selling my comp and getting a new [01:31] ubiq2: hrmm? [01:32] little420smoke: ah [01:32] little420smoke: you can use dd from a live OS [01:32] technoviking:welcome [01:32] can i use thie ubuntu live cd to remove it [01:32] zylum:welcome [01:33] little420smoke: yes it should have dd [01:33] hunter i have to put xp on it [01:33] Anyone here know how I might get Ubuntu on my laptop working? When I dual-boot it (opposed to Windows 7) via GRUB, I only get a blinking cursor. I can access recovery mode (aka a shell), though. [01:33] little420smoke: you could also do a non-fast NTFS format of the entire drive [01:33] i installed xmonad and it's making sounds when i open and close tabs in chromium and other things, how do i stop this? [01:33] little420smoke: ah, well if you install XP on it and do a non-quick NTFS format, that will wipe the drive [01:33] reisio how would i do that [01:34] little420smoke: it's part of the install process [01:34] throw in the xp-cd, don't forget to change the first boot device to CD in BIOS, format the whole drive, install xp [01:34] when the installer boots up it asks about partitioning [01:34] and then it asks about formatting [01:34] just use NTFS, and make sure it isn't the "quick" format [01:34] quick doesn't wipe [01:34] when i use the xp disk it only loads the drivers and files then it says that windows has shut dow due to wrong format [01:35] little420smoke: oh ok this is very simple reisio can also tell you yea simply wipe the drive and install formatting may take time dependin on the hdd size [01:35] sounds like your media is bonkers [01:35] or your cd-drive [01:35] Anyone? Fixing Ubuntu via CLI? I wish I could elaborate more on the issue, but... [01:36] idk but is there any way of doing it inside ubuntu [01:36] im not sure ive only formatted one way [01:36] i got 8 invites to google music beta who wants? [01:36] hrmmm [01:36] xr: whats up [01:36] spend a week uploading copies of my music to Google's servers [01:37] with no guarantee that they won't delete it [01:37] you can't format a mounted/active system partition. [01:37] when I could just set up my own media server [01:37] or is there a way thati can format the partitions without the live cd [01:37] little420smoke: you can format it as NTFS from the Ubuntu live CD [01:37] but there are partition managers of course... gparted f.ex. [01:37] little420smoke: but that won't guarantee that your XP install image will load properly [01:38] well i have xp and win 7 ult [01:38] burned or original copies? [01:38] and idk where my ubuntu disk is [01:38] you may want to win 7 ult [01:38] little420smoke: either will work, assuming you don't mind either OS being installed [01:39] win 7 is burned and xp is original [01:39] and assuming the media actually loads properly :p [01:39] little420smoke: all you have to remember is to do a full, non-quick NTFS format during install [01:39] it wont give me the option to format it tho [01:40] one time I caught my friend doing a non-quick NTFS format on a(n empty) 2TB disc :p [01:40] yea because your medium is probably corrupted or your cd-drive [01:40] test that [01:40] it was taking him ages, poor fellow [01:40] grub is complaining that lvm physical volumes are not found. What could cause that? [01:40] little420smoke: it should, that's a standard part of the install process [01:40] it doesent go that far [01:41] or would it be easer to use a different hadr drive [01:41] 420smoke: try & error [01:42] ok well thank you all for the help and i will see what i can do with that... and i should be back on my new comp in a day or two. so thanks [01:43] good luck [01:43] no prob [01:43] ty [01:43] i will let u guys know what happens [01:43] Anyone? Able to help me with my problem? Anyone here know how I might get Ubuntu on my laptop working? When I dual-boot it (opposed to Windows 7) via GRUB, I only get a blinking cursor. I can access recovery mode (aka a shell), though. [01:44] test [01:44] BlueProtoman: maybe "startx" from the shell and post error messages, don't really know about that [01:45] ubiq2: startx command not found [01:45] k [01:45] BlueProtoman: how did you install ubuntu? [01:45] almoxarife: Via a flash drive with the Universal USB Installer. [01:45] i bet out of windows [01:46] No, not Wubi. [01:46] okay [01:46] I know that it's inadequate. [01:46] Though I admittedly almost used it. :P [01:46] BlueProtoman: when you start up the machine what comes up? grub or winchooser [01:47] almoxarife: GRUB. Remember that Ubuntu is already installed. [01:47] BlueProtoman: and you still have the usb installer? [01:48] almoxarife: I stil have the drive with Ubuntu on it, yes. [01:48] do you have any unnecessary usb-devices plugged in? [01:48] ubiq2: No. [01:48] okay [01:49] Just the flash drive in question. [01:49] But I can remove it. [01:49] hey [01:50] BlueProtoman: what you will need to do then is re-install grub, via a rescue disk/usb, yours may be just that, especially if it was the 'alternate' version [01:50] almoxarife: What do you mean, exactly? I don't quite understand. [01:53] knapolian wishes to join [01:53] so, what are we calling this new flip-out scroll thumb? [01:53] I call it tommy [01:54] almoxarife: you could reinstall grub from live-cd, don't know if that would be the best choice [01:54] wygenius, are you from Wyoming?

[02:05] fructose: you can remote desktop with chrome/chromium [02:05] almoxarife, that is pretty cool. how do you do it? [02:05] almoxarife: I'm pretty sure that's not a feature built into the browser, so you'll have to elaborate [02:05] cgc17: there is a new app , google it, its in the google store, free [02:05] Hey! I know you guys get this a lot, but seriously thanks so much for doing this whole project. [02:05] fructose: I am sure it is, I have used it [02:06] almostroot: If it's in any store, then it's definitely not built in [02:06] Chrome Remote Desktop BETA › Connect [02:07] Yo whats shakin [02:07] i will definately check this out [02:07] My penis is sore [02:07] almoxarife: That's an extension, but yes, that might help [02:08] is this the channel where i can get some help for that? [02:08] fructose: not an extension, and it will remote desktop [02:08] Brad87: doesn't sound like it's quite in the scope [02:08] fructose: there's also ultravnc + openssh (google 'openssh win32' - it should be the first or second link) [02:08] i tried # sorepenis but it was empty [02:08] sudo heal penis [02:09] fructose: teamviewer, no install, go forth [02:09] reisio: Yeah, just always skeptical of such companies [02:10] Brad87, you may have to enable the 'venereal' ppa. [02:10] Hi. I believe I inadvertently uninstalled the package which logs to /var/log/messages because I wanted to install sar, which required sysstat, which I think removed whatever syslog utility I had. I'm using Natty Narwhal, what's the package I need to install to get it back? [02:10] is it possible to run an application from the terminal and have the terminal hide itself? [02:10] can i use chkconfig on ubuntu to make something as a service? [02:10] I have a paid for license for Teamviewer as a support tech... It's a great tool. [02:11] sprung: what command did you run [02:11] sprung: the one you un-installed [02:11] what is the most lightweight (in size) text editor that compares to sublime text 2? [02:11] cgc17: what for? What app? [02:11] PatrickC: gvim, kate [02:11] I use it on ubuntu workstation to connect to Windows servers, workstations, other linux workstations. [02:12] qin: thx [02:12] cgc17: alt f2?

[02:13] almoxarife: Google calls it an 'app', but it's contact is extensions@chromium.org and you have to "Add to Chrome". So it's far from built-in and it's commonly called an extension (see Google search results) [02:13] PatrickC: not sure [02:13] reisio [02:13] wow. kate is out. 244MB [02:13] fructose: glad to help, have a nice dat [02:13] day [02:13] can u help me :D ?

[02:14] ^^ [02:14] yes [02:14] PatrickC: but you're used to sublime text? [02:15] yep [02:15] PatrickC: kate need KDE, hence 244MB, gvim have gnome support, but you need few moment to comprehend and absorb its power. [02:15] PatrickC: you know it's available for Linux, right? [02:15] I can't get sublime to launch on this device [02:15] reisio: ^^ [02:15] almoxarife, killing the terminal closed my XChat session as well [02:15] fructose: didn't say it was built in, but I did say you would need chrome, you asked a question I offered a suggestion avail to a ubuntu user [02:15] xpress: hi [02:15] what about using geany? or is it to heavy?

[02:15] reisio, almoxarife if it were that easy I wouldn't be in this channel. this happened several months ago, and I am only now realizing that /var/log/messages is empty [02:15] PatrickC: because you're a GUI person [02:16] PatrickC: well ok, but it's highly configurable [02:16] yep [02:16] sprung: ah [02:16] cgc17: Run xchat, Ctrl-z, detach %1, voila. [02:16] cgc17: it would [02:16] qin: detach? [02:16] gedit will work [02:16] thx [02:16] PatrickC: all the gui ones have lots of dependancies [02:17] PatrickC: leafpad is lighter if you just want a plain old text editor [02:17] reisio: hm? [02:17] gedit is light enough [02:17] I am a GUI person, if I wanted it difficult I would homestead in alaska [02:17] cgc17: ALT+F2 is the run dialog [02:17] I want something that would be good for a coder [02:17] reisio: disown, damn aliases ;) [02:17] I develop apps/build websites :) [02:17] qin: ah :) [02:17] cgc17: /detach/disown/ [02:18] qin: that doesn't freeze the process? [02:18] reisio: what about launching xchat like "xchat &" [02:18] well he can just use ALT+F2 [02:18] reisio: More complex, yes, may crash xchat. [02:19] reisio, Alt+F2 will work. [02:19] reisio will u help me or not ^^? [02:19] for when you really need to free up a term, there's dupx or reptyr [02:19] xpress: what's up? [02:20] well [02:20] listen [02:20] hey. listen.

Knowing vim will help you to work remotly. [02:21] almoxarife: yeah, but that's foresight in action :) [02:21] reisio: the next best thing to gui [02:21] too bad terminator doesn't use screen transparently, too [02:21] i have installed ubuntu i was having windows 7 =) so.. the problem is that the wi-fi connection under windows 7 was normal but here under ubuntu a times it just stops and i have to exit from the wi-fi and enter again .. so do you know how to fix it =) ? [02:22] xpress: update the driver [02:22] how :D ' [02:22] anyone know if there's a timer plug-in for gucview?

[02:22] ently [02:22] reisio: explain [02:22] PatrickC: on webserver via ssh (for instant fixes i.e.) [02:23] illmortal: sleep or at in a terminal would do it [02:23] reisio: i said that i am new on linux :P [02:23] xpress: oh [02:23] xpress: what's the device? [02:23] qin: really? hmm.. [02:23] I might try vim [02:23] reisio: i really dont have a idea ^^ [02:23] reisio: how to look it ? =) [02:23] Vim just takes some learning to really exploit it === tdubellz_ is now known as tdubz [02:23] not a lot to just be able to use it for maintenance, though [02:24] PatrickC: Hint: zencoding is must have plugin for html, css. === tdubz is now known as tdubellz [02:24] xpress: you could try opening a terminal and running 'sudo lspci -k', then look for the device name and possibly driver name [02:24] I've got a problem that I kinda solved...video card (nVidia) crashing rather often, to the point where restarting X does nothing. [02:24] reisio: in a terminal? o.O; [02:24] qin: what about JS? any recommendation for that? [02:24] lol [02:24] Disabling frequency scaling makes it more stable. [02:24] illmortal: heh [02:25] Curious if there's a better solution. [02:25] you mean use the terminal as my camera application?

[02:32] that's a good question [02:32] hi, my sound on the laptop does not work Lenovo x61, Ubuntu 10.4 [02:32] well, vim in cmd line is confusing :P [02:32] :D you dont know ? :D [02:32] ahattar: i had the same problem with the sound [02:33] xpress: presumably like this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Madwifi#Compile_Newer_Driver [02:33] xpress How to fix it [02:33] PatrickC: "vimtutor" is a great way to learn. [02:33] sec [02:33] ahattar: stopped working or never worked? [02:33] PatrickC : Ucan also use nano ...Its simple to use it. [02:33] never worked [02:34] ahattar: just install alsamixer and set you internal mic =) [02:34] Singham: I've used nano before [02:34] its nice === tdubellz is now known as tdubzaway [02:34] reisio: now i get this with wget no ? [02:34] ahattar: new install? [02:34] xpress: yes [02:35] xpress: it has instructions on the page [02:35] I don't have an esc key.. that'll put a damper on things [02:35] reisio: u're great man =) [02:35] ubiq2: you too :D [02:36] :) i had the same problem and madwifi fixd it [02:37] thanks man [02:37] =) [02:37] i hope [02:37] that it will fix and mine too [02:37] PatrickC: Ctrl-[ [02:38] ahattar: well is it works ? [02:38] reisio: xpress madwidi is deprecated [02:38] qin: for? [02:38] PatrickC: Insdead of Esc [02:38] what channel is the ubuntu general chat? [02:38] really? cool! [02:38] *instead [02:39] and how do i switch chanels from here again? [02:39] BryGuy71: /join #ubuntu-offtopic , What client are you using? [02:39] PatrickC: other popular choice to map is ;; [02:39] BryGuy: depends on what program you're using? [02:39] hey im getting a dmesg wlan0: deauthenticating by local choice every time i try to connect to my wifi AP. Anyone know how can I fix this ? I havent found a solid solution yet [02:40] installed gnome-alsamixer and the sound still not working [02:40] is there any way to change the aspect of a touchpad? on my dell mini9 it seems to move the mouse much faster horizontally then vertically and its making me insane [02:40] xangua: lots of things are [02:41] PatrickC: javascript for vim http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1491 [02:41] if an untrusted domain keeps trying to send mail through my mailserver what are some things that I can check to see if they have been successful in sending mail with my server? [02:41] SIFTU: I'm sticking with gedit... vim doesn't look as easy as I want :) [02:41] PatrickC: isnt gedit about as advanced as notepad? [02:42] lightyears more advanced [02:42] not saying much, though [02:42] SIFTU: No, it has tabs. [02:42] SIFTU: it has tabs [02:42] and syntax highlighting [02:42] lol ok tabs [02:42] it's a real text editor [02:42] dat tabs :) [02:42] not in Vim's class, but still [02:42] SIFTU: Did you know that gedit has tabs? [02:42] PatrickC: got to say, I used gedit for casual editing, and qin recommended gvim to me. I was okay with vi on cli. Many things are incredibly useful, but some things are still awkward after 3 weeks. It seems worth persevering with, to me, for the advantages [02:42] hello everyone [02:42] hey guys.. so i'm running ubuntu 8.04 on the server.. what's the best way to upgrading to the latest production ready release? [02:42] hey there [02:43] hi goldenfox [02:43] Shirakawasuna: i think i heard somewhere it might have tabs [02:43] I am having a bit of trouble rotating my consoles, and I hope that you folks might be able to point me in the right direction. I have physically rotated my display into portrait mode, and have adjusted X to rotate the display correctly, but boot messages and all TTYs are still in their original orientation. I have tried passing fbcon=rotate:3 on boot, and have tried writing "3" to /sys/class/graphics/fbcon/rotate[_all] to no effect. Any ideas? I think fbcon is ena [02:43] somsip: is it really that goos? [02:43] good* [02:43] reisio: is it wrong if i skip sudo make with sudo make install :D couse i did it and i dont know if this will make any defects on the program ? [02:43] PatrickC: navigation, searching, jumping around lines...really, really useful. I use Netbeans and added the Vim plugin for that. [02:43] something that *is* basically notepad is mousepad [02:43] xpress: wrong :) [02:43] Rafalski: Only 10.04 Lts [02:43] I'll give it a try [02:44] reisio: so how can i fix it ? [02:44] qin: what's the best way of upgrading? [02:44] Shirakawasuna: and leafpad [02:44] xpress: just go back and do it all in the right order this time [02:44] somsip: does the tutor really help? [02:44] reisio: ok thanks [02:44] Rafalski: Do you have do-release-upgrade ? [02:44] PatrickC: but if you have background, it may feel weird. I'm undoing 30 years of habits, including a very bad typing style. So maybe it will come easier for you. [02:44] qin: not sure, a linux noob here [02:44] PatrickC: yeah it's okay [02:45] PatrickC: I am running through it regularly until I don't have to think about the commands. Still can't do search replace easily though... [02:45] PatrickC: but to not have to use the mouse will take quite a fair amount of time educating yourself [02:45] hmm.. ok [02:45] worth it, though [02:45] yeah.. using it on a touchscreen.. worth it? [02:45] PatrickC: I think the best way to learn a new editor is to force yourself to use. For everything. [02:45] somsip: did you run through vimtutor [02:45] its a HP TouchPad [02:45] see #vim's /topic [02:45] SIFTU: a number of times [02:45] Rafalski: Is it your own system or vps? [02:46] qin: own, got root to it [02:46] i would like to ask here if openprinting.org website is working on your side? [02:46] http://isup.me/openprinting.org [02:46] somsip: yeah I guess it takes some getting used to, but it's so widely used I can go anywhere I know I have it. unlike the GUI editors [02:46] Rafalski: I mean, are you sitting next to it? [02:46] goldenfox: down for maintenance here [02:46] qin: no [02:46] thanks, reisio [02:46] thanks somsip [02:47] not sure it was ever up :p [02:47] goldenfox: looking for something? [02:47] anybody here had grab the foomatic-4.0.6 from openprinting? [02:47] SIFTU: I've been able to use it for years, but not really *use it*, IYSWIM. [02:47] goldenfox: which foomatic? [02:47] I'm having problems with unity [02:48] it really sucks [02:48] Untitled_only: which probs? [02:48] don't use it [02:48] Rafalski: If you run it on own hardware: do-release-upgrade, if not, contact your provider to upgrade image. [02:48] Untitled_only: in the beginning, at the login screen, select ubuntu clasic [02:48] it wont load when I downloaded it [02:49] reisio: root@xpress:/usr/src/madwifi-ng# wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta ..wlanconfig: ioctl: No such device [02:49] reisio, foomatic-rip 4.0.6.dmg [02:49] reisio: :S [02:49] Untitled_only: don't download it [02:49] I just un-installed it [02:49] rip?

I never imagined archive.org will copy the installers too =) [02:55] ty kdp [02:55] goldenfox: :D [02:55] goldenfox: I'm sure it's available elsewhere as well [02:56] where can I find the files for my installed programs like pidgin ? [02:56] BryGuy71: Dont you want to use irssi, instead of xchat? [02:56] Islam: dpkg -L pidgin [02:56] reisio: yeah but google is out of answers [02:56] irssi all the way! [02:56] irssi! [02:56] reisio: i cant fix it :/... can u explain please :S [02:56] the best [02:56] goldenfox: yeah the Mac OS copies do seem to be unpopular [02:56] Islam: dpkg -L pigdin [02:56] hello, quiick question, what's the package name that provides the functionality that gives the "this package isn't installed, install with apt-get packagename to install" ? [02:57] dialog [02:57] wasn't there a simpler way to send '/foo' in irssi than /exec -out echo '/foo' ? [02:57] So, any ideas, folks? I am pretty stumped here. I suppose I don't /need/ to use the TTYs, but since my display is permanently rotated I would like to rotate those things as well. [02:57] reisio: /foo [02:58] \/foo [02:58] hmm [02:58] /foo [02:58] Ha! space in front. [02:58] kdp: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:58] I want to add it to the startup programs, n I dont know what to type in the command tap [02:58] the pidgin [02:58] qin: no, not /foo, but: [02:58] /foo [02:59] what command should I use to add pidgin to the startup programs ? [02:59] /foo [03:00] I'm opening the startup programs but I done know what to type in the command tap [03:00] goldenfox: is it for an HP?

[03:03] reisio: wlanconfig: ioctl: No such device [03:03] ;( [03:03] Can someone please help me out with an audio issue? [03:03] thenickperson: uhuh [03:03] Islam: /usr/bin/pidgin is the normal path for pidgin [03:03] xpress: did you see the forum post I linked to? [03:04] reisio: yes but i dont understand :D [03:04] Islam: maybe /usr/local/bin/pidgin. You would do best to use `which pidgin` to get the path [03:04] I'm opening the startup programs and I wanna add pidgin to the startup programs, n its asking me for the command [03:04] reisio: i said i use linux from 1 day :P so ... [03:04] reisio: My system's audio in Ubuntu had weird issues before, and at one point wouldn't play audio at all. After updating sound software, that problem is solved now, but whenever I plug in headphones (anything into the audio out), audio plays though both my headphones and my speakers. How can I make it just play via my headphones if they're plugged in? [03:05] Islam: open a terminal; type `which pidgin`; enter the path into the Startup Programs dialog. [03:05] Islam: the command is pidgin [03:05] xpress: grep -ilr madwifi /etc/ | sort | uniq [03:05] and later ? [03:05] thenickperson: laptop? [03:06] reisio: Yes. [03:06] hey guys I was just here yesterday with a question about installing lamp on my laptop and now I'm having some problems running some really plain php file here, http://paste.ubuntu.com/706440/, and when I open it (or run it since I'm doing it in netbeans) there's no output [03:06] aamit1: are you running it from http://localhost ? [03:07] fullmetal: I'm not entirely sure what you mean - the file path is localhost/something/something/index1.php [03:07] reisio: and later show this --> root@xpress:/usr/src/madwifi-ng# grep -ilr madwifi /etc/ | sort | uniq [03:07] grep: /etc/blkid.tab: No existe el fichero o el directorio [03:07] /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ath_pci.conf [03:07] /etc/wpa_supplicant/functions.sh [03:08] :/ [03:08] balgari ima li ? [03:08] fullmetal: I can get stuff like echo "String" or echo $variable (with variable being some variable) to output, but if I were to do something like print ("String") again I get nothing [03:08] fullmetal: something to do with not recognizing return values or something? [03:08] aamit1: what i mean is php scripts only run when on a server. you have to access it like it is from a server. jsut running the local file will not execute it. [03:09] ok [03:09] reisio: ... :/ [03:09] reisio: Do you kno what I could try to do to fix it? [03:09] so you have a working php test page [03:09] ? [03:09] fullmetal: actually there are ways to run php as an ordinary script [03:09] but yeah it might not work as intended [03:09] fullmetal: if I just echo "Hello World" that displays... [03:09] aamit1: ok [03:10] Ubuntu 10.10 freezes literally every other time I start up. [03:10] thenickperson: you probably just need to feed ALSA a more specific "model" [03:10] thenickperson: what model is it? [03:10] reisio: What, my Laptop? [03:10] fullmetal: so I'm not entirely sure what's going wrong here... [03:10] thenickperson: yeah [03:10] aamit1: can you do a pastebin of your non-working file? [03:10] thanx guys, its /usr/bin/pidgin [03:10] fullmetal: same as earlier, http://paste.ubuntu.com/706440/ [03:11] was not on... checking [03:11] reisio: http://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/emachines-e627-5019-athlon/1707-3121_7-33893704.html [03:11] Hello.

[03:12] nbest: Oh, okay [03:12] the easiest way thenickperson [03:12] nbest: Ubuntu should move files to the trash before deleting them. Just look for files int he trash if you want to recover them. Is that what you wanted? [03:12] aamit1: try it as just a php page... does it execute? [03:12] nbest: Or do you want it to confirm if you want to empty the trash? [03:13] fullmetal: you mean just remove the html tags and reopen it? [03:13] yep [03:13] but with the .php extension [03:13] yes i know i can search for them in the trash but i'd rather not have to search the trash all the time for files i didn't even know i accidentally deleted , i'd rather have a confirm file delete, much rather :P [03:13] thenickperson: what does sudo lspci | grep -i audio say the device is [03:13] just an idea but it may be because your calling a variable and not inserting it into a string [03:13] hello guys [03:14] hi [03:14] fullmetal: when I open a file with these contents - http://paste.ubuntu.com/706444/ [03:14] nbest: After: Shift-Del there is prompt, by default, Del alone send files to wastebasket [03:14] RootsBabilonia: Hello.

[03:14] xpress: please what? [03:15] fullmetal: it already is a .php file with no html tags? [03:15] qin , yes i know but i'd rather pressing delete opens up a confirm dialog, because i may send files to the garbage bin without being aware, the delete key is close to the up arrow [03:15] then you should not be getting a hello world from a time call functino [03:15] function* [03:16] thenickperson: here read through this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [03:16] i dont' always want to be having to check the garbage bin just in case i accidentally sent files there , i wish i could have a way that pressing delete would open up a confirm file delete dialog [03:16] someone speak portugues? [03:16] thenickperson: you probably just need the right model= value [03:16] reisio : you said to put this (grep -ilr madwifi /etc/ | sort | uniq) and show me this (grep: /etc/blkid.tab: No existe el fichero o el directorio) ... [03:16] algum brasileiro aqui? [03:16] fullmetal: well I had 2 print statements - hello world and the second one with longdate(time()) [03:16] yo :P [03:16] RootsBabilonia: #ubuntu-br, #ubuntu-pt [03:16] pero si sabes español mejor :D [03:16] reisio: Thanks!

[03:17] nbest: No such feature in options, you could point it on brainstorm, as you have valid point.

I'd help you but idk the details of athero chipsets sorry [03:44] ok thanks .. =) [03:44] I don't want to be a jerk, but youtube and google are a Linux users ally [03:44] god I hate it when people tell me that [03:45] :D .. [03:45] Hey all, I'm trying to upgrade a vps from karmic to natty and I ran into an error while running dist-upgrade and I'm not sure what to do about it: http://pastebin.com/cXmA96Ng....and I have googled it =) [03:45] wifi and graphics cards are the linux devils [03:45] ok i made my own spinnoff of ubuntu and i want a program to start on boot, how do i do that? PS there no /etc/innittab and my program is in /usr/bin/advancedbrowser [03:47] xpress: check out wiki.ubuntuusers.de/WLAN/madwifi [03:47] ? [03:48] To all that are frustrated and needing help: sometime it takes time, but I have always found the answers I needed right in here... right time right place I guess [03:48] ubuntu won't start [03:48] UBUNTU WONT INSTALL [03:48] o_o [03:48] cypha: how was it installed? [03:48] !caps | ryannathans [03:48] ryannathans: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.

[03:50] I figure (based on the fact that google turns up nothing but an unanswered irc log) that my issue must be pretty rare lol [03:50] take it easy guys [03:51] ryannathans: And no, they don't. I, being a volunteer, am put off by any attempts to try to game the system. [03:51] daanish: https://github.com/MrMEEE/bumblebee , rather not.

[03:51] wtf's going on [03:52] jaidan, I honestly have no clue. [03:52] qin : but it says there's two new projects - Ironhide and the "new" Bumblee-project . . . and I added the ppa to the new project but it can't find any ''bumblebee'' package when I apt-get install. [03:52] daanish: sudo apt-get update [03:53] beta0x64: Either do I...never really ran into too many issues with apt (that I didn't cause). So the fact that's it's just blowing up on some random package has left me lost [03:53] qin: holy crap, that worked.. do I need to install nvidia drivers before I install bumblebee or after? [03:53] we can all me mad together [03:53] daanish: Me, ati. [03:53] jaidan, I mean... are you doing anything funky with the keyboard? I really have no clue, I've never done a vps [03:54] beta0x64: I don't think so. I mean it's just like any other server === Zynum is now known as Zylum [03:54] when I try to do a showmount , I get "clnt_create: RPC: Program not registered". I have reinstalled nfs-common, portmap and nfs-kernel-server [03:54] sdsdhkjsah [03:55] It has a crap load of stuff installed because it's the box I use for development so it has a lot of experiments....but messing with keyboard configs nope [03:55] jaidan, I mean obviously dpkg is trying to unpack a keyboard config .deb file but it is running into a problem overwriting console-setup [03:55] ubiq2: look man xpress@xpress:~/.source$ wlanconfig ath0 [03:55] [status not implemented (yet). Spawning iwconfig...] [03:55] ath0 No such device [03:56] If someone could troubleshoot why Ubuntu won't start anymore via TeamViewer, I'd be more than happy to buy them a 6-pack's worth on paypal [03:56] Or, is there a better channel to ask about nfs mount issues in? [03:56] hey, i think i'm having issues with my wireless and wpa connections. I get "bad password" regardless of whether or not the password is right. I've tried removing / purging / etc network manager several times but it fixes things. Help? [03:56] beta0x64: Any idea what I might google for or do to work around that type of issue (not specifically keyboard I guess). I don't know enough about dpkg to really understand what I need to do to resolve the conflict [03:57] jaidan, you should google a good medication for your headache. I've no clue what to do. I feel like messing with console-setup is, like, uh, a bad idea :) [03:57] DouglasK: Have you tried #nfs ? [03:57] My guess is that it's some kind of permissions issue [03:57] Lithos84, no ... but I will now, thanks or the thought. [03:58] xpress: sry i will leave in a few minutes. it's 6 am here in germany. you will solve it sooner or later. i believe in you man :) [03:58] beta0x64: lolol thanks, I'm a developer my desk comes equipped with lots of medications for headaches lol [03:58] jaidan, could it be time to grab everything of value and burn it down? :( [03:59] daanish: You right, ironhide is more acctual. [03:59] is anyone here running bumblebee for optimus? [03:59] What do I do when I can't access the windows portion of my drive [03:59] beta0x64: that would be ALOT. We're talking mongodb's, mysqldb's, postgresdb's, 50 or so source repos [04:00] !details | scorinitron [04:00] scorinitron: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [04:00] jaidan, fudgesicles. um. see, you should make sure you have a backup before upgrading like this imo [04:00] its 6 here too :D [04:00] ... [04:00] anyone running bumblee for optimus? [04:00] Hi [04:00] I'm buying a new pc [04:00] and need your suggestions [04:00] beta0x64: well nothing has actually broken yet...and nothing is really unreplaceable, just would take a day or two of lost billable hours which would suck [04:01] should i type the specs here? [04:01] it's a dev box not a production one [04:01] Matt_: pastebin [04:01] I made the mistake of installing ubuntu 10.04 on top of windows7 on a 500 GB drive. I went to the bar where I could determine how much space I wanted which os to occupy in GB [04:01] Matt_ just ask your question [04:01] is anyone running bumblebee for optimus? [04:01] Matt_: There are many companies that sell computers with Ubunut pre-installed. [04:01] and well I completed the installation but now grub won't run windows [04:01] not to mention grub is the only thing that shows up [04:01] Jordan_U: not availible in countires such as mine, or it's more viable to build your own [04:02] I have an hp envy laptop with beats audio or whatever. My problem is the subwoofer is on when I have headphones plugged in. Any idea how to turn that off? [04:02] jaidan, backups are usually before it breaks. but regardless of how often you backup your development environment... you could try installing keyboard-configuration_1.57ubuntu20_all.deb manually [04:02] then maybe you will have a more specific error. or not. if it works though, maybe the updater will skip it? [04:02] jaidan, we are really in the dark here lol [04:02] I try to go to the windows loader 7 option and it starts off as windows but goes into ubuntu...now I have no idea how to reinstall windows since it won't auto boot when the disc is in... [04:02] How do you get ubuntu to keep the console resolution that I set? I see some stuff in the correct resolution but then it always switches back to 640x480 or something. [04:03] plz help T_T [04:03] scorinitron: is windows partition still there [04:03] ryannathans, I'm not sure I guess it technically is [04:03] i am getting weird flash problems on 64 bit ubuntu (10.10) - 64 bit chrome and 64 bit flash - works great on youtube and facebook - not so on sites like cbs.com (no issues with site on 32 bit system) suggestions?

Are you using proprietary graphics drivers? [04:04] is anyone running bumblebee for optimus? [04:04] scorinitron, it's a learning experience [04:05] Matt_: looks fine, just have both windoze and linux on same hdd [04:05] I'm currently using GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX in /etc/default/grub [04:05] scorinitron, I'm a developer who has been using linux based OSes for 4 years now, and I'm still a noob [04:05] ^^ [04:05] I just want to know what's what so at the very least I can get as good with terminal as I am with DOS [04:06] I'm 17 if that matters? lol [04:06] ryannathans: but windows7 first then ubuntu? or ubuntu first then win7? [04:06] scorinitron: Have you done anything so far other than install Ubuntu using the automatic partitioning option? [04:06] WIN7 first of course [04:07] Matt_, Windows 7 must be installed first because as a rule, Windows is greedy. [04:07] I made that mistake once [04:07] I'm buying a new custom pc, here is my pc specs http://pastebin.com/VXp9xPxt What everybody advice. [04:07] is anyone running bumblebee for optimus? [04:07] Matt_: win7 first [04:07] ryannathans thanks, is configuration good? [04:08] Jordan_U, um not really...I was learning about tor and socks [04:08] XD [04:08] beta0x64: no dice =( same error when trying to install it directly. I was hopeful [04:08] damn nvidia optimus >_______< [04:08] Hey everyone, please take a look at my specs, and suggest me http://pastebin.com/VXp9xPxt [04:08] Matt_: build is okay depending on ram and video card [04:08] scorinitron: Do you understand the instructions ubottu linked you to for running boot info script? [04:09] Jordan_U, let me take a look [04:09] ryannathans: but 4gb ddr3 ram is good right? [04:09] Matt_: you can also install ubuntu and use W7 in virtualbox [04:09] yeah [04:09] qin: How do I run bumblebee? I just installed it but I don't see it in the applications? [04:09] jaidan, I am thinking, let's follow these instructions. they look well and official https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PackageManagerTroubleshootingProcedure [04:09] qin: is bumblee cli only?

[04:17] anyone there to help compile a program on natty narwahkll? [04:17] beta0x64: any suggestions? [04:17] jaidan, those seem like extremely important packages ... [04:17] i will not bother you guys after this [04:17] I am looking up what console_setup does exactly [04:17] jaidan: Try just running do not allow that. Try just "sudo apt-get -f install". [04:18] Jordan_U: been trying that, that was step one [04:18] Matt_: what was your original question? [04:18] jaidan, I wouldn't remove them basically [04:18] gyg: if you need to manually compile a program make sure there are no ./config then make then sudo make install [04:18] beta0x64: That was kinda my thought [04:18] somsip: i'm no way playing games and stuff, it is just for work. video & audio, So please everyone, take a look at this specs for final time and let me know if i should go ahead and purchase it, http://pastebin.com/VXp9xPxt ? [04:19] beta0x64: unfortunatly apt-get is now convinced it wants to remove those packages and nothing I tell it will change it's mind [04:19] Matt_: I would help, but that quesiton is a "how long's a piece of string" question. no answer makes sense outside of the context of your personal situation [04:19] is there a way i can boot up my computer to make it show grub [04:20] Matt_: I think you'd be fine to install Ubuntu and run W7 in a virtual machine with those specs. That's what I would do if I were you. What do you need W7 for once a week? [04:20] Matt_: None of those pieces of hardware are areas where you're likely to have issues with Ubuntu. Problem areas are generally Wireless, graphics card, sometimes sound card, and maybe others I'm forgetting. [04:20] could someone please help me to compile a program on 11.4 [04:20] vanquish349: hit tab wile booting up [04:20] im trying to compile OneSwarm [04:20] thanks [04:20] gyg: if you will read up i already explained how to manually compile a program [04:21] Matt_: I think it is more than enough. Remember to install Windows first, or install it on a virtual machine. [04:21] Matt_: don't dual boot. Use a virtual machine. That way you can access W7 without having to shut down. [04:22] Matt_: I wouldn't buy anything without trying it with an Ubuntu LiveCD first if at all possible. Or checking the hardware compatability list (though just because something is not on the list does not neccessarily mean it's not going to work). [04:22] Jordan_U, I got the results.txt file [04:22] !hcl | Matt_ [04:22] Matt_: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [04:22] jaidan how are you? jesus [04:22] tacomaster: thank you very much.i have already extracted the archive [04:22] beta0x64: did you get my question? [04:22] gyg: ok? then "make" then "sudo make install" [04:22] scorinitron: Please proide a link to its contents with http://pastebin.ubuntu.com [04:22] wierd it didnt work [04:22] thorn_ > W7 for http://sourceforge.net/projects/emailsender/ & Creating PSD [04:22] beta0x64: all this because wanting to try out neo4j and decided that was a good reason to get off this old distro lol [04:23] vanquish349: start pushing tab once you see the bios screen [04:23] Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/BRa5ZL21 [04:23] psd? [04:23] vanquish349: it goes by really fast [04:23] photoshop files? [04:23] jaidan, can you reinstall the files ? [04:23] tacomaster: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop [04:23] vanquish349: tacomaster: Hold shift to see the grub menu. Pressing tab will do nothing. [04:24] So should i buy it? [04:24] Jordan_U, dang it >_> I forgot it's my dad's comp not mine.... [04:24] beta0x64: I didn't remove them, it looks like it wants to remove them because one of the commands in that guide removed the keyboard thing that was causing issues before [04:24] Matt_: Like I already said, you haven't provided enough information. [04:24] Jordan_U, all I would have to do is repeat the same steps and send you the link right? [04:24] yes it did [04:24] scorinitron: Yes. [04:24] beta0x64: those packages depend on it so now it wants them gone. I tried reinstalling the keyboard thing, but no dice same overwriting error [04:24] Jordan_U, alright give me a sec [04:25] Jordan_U: i will try that thanks [04:25] Matt_: I wouldn't. [04:25] 50 time i have restarted my computer [04:25] thorn_ > why not? [04:25] vanquish349: You're welcome. [04:25] can someone help me troubleshoot why Ubuntu is not starting? [04:25] I have ALL my work on there [04:25] I'd get more memory so I could have more comfort with my virtual machine [04:25] jaidan, I believe it tries to remove packages that aren't needed any longer. they were used as dependencies according to apt-get [04:26] I would REALLY appreciate some help! [04:26] i think shift worked [04:26] jaidan, run man then hit /autoremove enter and then hit n [04:26] cypha: What happens when you try to boot? [04:26] Jordan_U: http://i.imgur.com/KvsZC.png [04:26] and a nvidia video card would probably help me a bit... [04:26] Jordan_U, the last thing I did was uninstall the package that setxkbmap is in from synaptic [04:26] beta0x64: I'm considering trying to force the .deb to install [04:27] and I removed the lines regarding "setxkbmap -option" that I had added to rc.local [04:27] beta0x64: by using --force-overwrite [04:27] because somehow, even though I had commented the line out in rc.local, the mapping wouldn't go away [04:28] which is why I uninstalled it + removed the line (which was anyway alreayd commented out) in rc.local === GNUdog|away is now known as GNUdog|office [04:28] Jordan_U ^^ [04:28] jaidan try it. that sounds good. [04:29] cypha: You should have noticed that removing x11-xkb-utils also removed all of xorg and anything that depends on it. [04:29] oh [04:29] wow [04:29] Jordan_U, what can I do now? [04:29] beta0x64: and...apt-get no longer wants to remove the world [04:29] I'm in the recovery console or whatever, at the command line [04:29] I have internet access [04:29] jaidan, try your upgrade [04:29] beta0x64: and.... it looks like dist-upgrade will complete now [04:29] cypha: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [04:30] Jordan_U, should I just sudo aptitude install that package? [04:30] Jordan_U, I had removed the whole ubuntu-desktop??? [04:30] holy crap that's retarded [04:30] beta0x64: still doesn't mean that something isn't horribly broken so I guess it would be a good idea to back up the anything I really wouldn't want to try to recover [04:30] lol [04:31] fun night, teach me to decide it's a good time for a dist-upgrade [04:31] cypha: Please don't use "retarded" as a derogatory term. [04:32] sudo goodbye!!! [04:32] I just installed 11.04 using Wubi on my Windows partition.. how do I browse to the windows files and stuff? [04:32] cypha: You did basically remove the entire GUI, but don't be confused into thinking that removing "ubuntu-desktop" removes the entire desktop, it doesn't. (installing it however will re-install all packages that are installed in a default install of Ubuntu). [04:33] I just installed 11.04 using Wubi on my Windows partition.. how do I browse to the windows files and stuff? [04:33] daanish: Please don't repeat so quickly. You didn't even leave any time for anyone to respond. [04:33] Jordan_U: Sorry >_< [04:34] How do you activate the zoom feature in ubunut [04:34] my dad's display is only showing half of the screen [04:34] hello everyone! [04:34] and I need to get to resolution settings but can't see anything [04:34] daanish: Your Windows files are accessible via "/host/" or from nautilus the "host" directory in "Filesystem". [04:35] Jordan_U: Oh, wow, thanks. Much appreciated! [04:35] daanish: You're welcome :) [04:35] <--- complete newbie here. Can anyone help me figure out how to get my resolution to work? Assistance would be greatly appreciated! [04:36] mroland Did you try going to System >> Administration? [04:36] That's using the classic interface, not unity [04:36] In unity, just click at the icon on the top left, and search for things like "Screen," "resolution," "nvidia," "monitor." [04:37] Jordan_U, YOU GENIOUS [04:37] I believe I'm using classic [04:37] worked [04:37] @ the top left: Applications [04:37] mroland: yes, that is classic [04:37] Jordan_U, followup question...how can I get setxkbmap to stop switching ctrl and capslock? [04:37] in system >> administration there isn't anything about screens or displays [04:38] and windowz was my idea... [04:38] Mroland: Ok, look in System >> Preferences [04:38] mroland: There is "Monitors," in there.. [04:38] right, I get 'monitors' [04:38] but my screen resolution is 1336x768 [04:38] macbook air 11inch ;) [04:38] mine is 1366 x 768 [04:38] samsung [04:39] that would be perfect! how did you set it up? [04:39] um, I actually didn't do much at all to be honest, I just fresh installed ubuntu like 15 minutes ago.. all I did was install nvidia drivers.. [04:39] if i wanted to launch the default unity session in my xsession script, how would i do that? [04:40] Jordan_U? [04:40] I wish it were that easy. Problem is with the macbook air really. Integrated Video Card [04:40] mroland: yes, apple and their proprietary hardware can be a pain to deal with at times. [04:40] beta0x64: thanks for your bud =) looking good so far now [04:41] mroland: but it used to be similar for PCs' not too long ago.. I remember a time where every partition had to be manually mounted and SATA was actually causing boot errors in the good ol' ubuntu 6 days.. [04:41] I'm definitely paying the 'apple tax' indirectly. Just trying to learn some Ruby on Shoes. Linux was more open. [04:41] mroland: have you tried googling "mac air 11 ubuntu 11.04"? [04:41] daanish: funny thing..I have not :D [04:41] mroland: there are a lot of good tutorials on the internet concerning specific laptop makes that go through how to set your laptop up for best performance under ubuntu [04:42] daanish: time to go hunting. Thanks for your solid efforts though! [04:42] mroland: Oh yes, programming on linux is much fun! [04:42] mroland: Not a problem, good luck! =] [04:42] daanish: do you program as well? [04:42] mroland: Not much, I just picked up a bit of Python recently, and I'm learning Java in school. [04:43] mroland: I have had bouts with lua but it was just scripts for a program, nothing that substantial. [04:43] daanish: awesome! Where do you go to school? For computer science? [04:43] mroland: I'm actually an international student at the community college of philadelphia at the moment.. I'm considering my options for transferring to a 4 year. [04:44] daanish: that's great! I actually never finished my undergrad. Went to film school - go figure [04:44] mroland: Steve Jobs always said to 'not settle,' until you find what you love! [04:45] can someone help me get ubuntu to stop switchin ctrl and capslock???? [04:45] daanish: I'm all about that. "Your life is limited, so don't waste it by trying to live someone else's life. Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish." [04:45] cypha: that is extremely odd.. not to be a douche, but have you tried googling it? [04:45] daanish, yeah [04:45] mroland: Indeed! =D [04:45] and everyone just wants to switch them [04:46] i see no one with issues of unswitching them [04:46] mroland: It was sad because I read that speech at stanford like 2 days before he passed away.. I was just starting to appreciate the man. The tech world has suffered a huge loss. [04:46] cypha: figure out how to switch them, see if that'll work. [04:46] daanish: but through his death, he's sparked inspiration on a massive level. [04:47] daanish, I can switch it at the commandline with "setxkbmap -option" [04:47] but if I put that in rc.local, it does nothing [04:47] anything regading setxkbmap I put in rc.local seems to do noething [04:47] cypha: that is extremely odd.. do the changes exist when you re-open rc.local [04:47] ? [04:48] yes [04:48] i'm editing with priviledges [04:48] cypha: I'm sorry, I'm stumped. o_o [04:48] even if I put "firefox" in rc.local, it doesn't execute firefox on start [04:48] any idea why that might be? [04:49] cypha: xkbmap by default modifies preferences of the X display it was run from. In the case of rc.local, there is no DISPLAY associated with the command. [04:49] cypha: Oh, I think I read something somewhere about rc.local not being the file that's read at startup anymore.. [04:49] so how come ubuntu 11.04 wouldnt install automaticly on my windows 7 pc. it set up the partitions perfectly but wouldnt install. i tried 3 times [04:49] cypha: maybe Jordan_U can help you out more, he seems to know what he's talking about. [04:49] cypha: Never put firefox in rc.local again. Anything run from rc.local is run as root, which can be very bad. [04:49] msi: is the iso file fine? [04:50] yes, i downloaded .iso file several times 64-bit version [04:50] ok, who can help with 11.04 and nvidia issues? [04:50] daanish: I'll be back on later. I'm going to try my luck with another install with 'nomodeset' as a parameter [04:50] Jordan_U, but initially, to make the capslock/ctrl switch stay btwn reboots, I put the "setxkbmap -option ctrl:capsswap" or whatever line in there [04:50] and it worked [04:50] i've been struggling for about a week to get X to work with 11.04 and the nividia chip on my dell e6400 [04:51] it actually did make sure it was like that after any restart [04:51] mroland: okie doke, good luck! [04:51] just that I can't undo it now [04:51] and, btw, I only put firefox to test if rc.local was working [04:51] cypha: Whatever the reason, never put an application not intended to be run as root (most) in rc.local. [04:52] however, if I try echoing something to a .txt file using rc.local (in testing it), that does work [04:52] looked like it was going to be an easy, perfect install on my second hard drive, it hunf g at the very end of the install process, and never installed anything [04:52] Hwy guys [04:52] ahaha, the new xkcd might be funny to some of you pepole [04:52] Morning all.. [04:52] :) [04:52] mrkrrtft, http://xkcd.com randall knows your troubles [04:52] evenin' [04:52] cypha: My guess is that it never had an effect. Something else was changed at the same time which did switch the keys, which is why removing the line from rc.local also had no effect. [04:52] Hey is there any channel for the InstallJammer's help??? [04:52] When using FTP to transfer files I get about 75MB/s when using Samba I get about 11ish [04:52] With EXT4 any ideas? [04:53] Jordan_U, how can I find out what's causing it? [04:53] what's causing the switch, that is [04:53] msi, Did you Md5sum the ISO, prior to burning at the slowest speed? [04:53] i looked in .bashrc, didn't see it in there [04:53] Ok, fresh install of 11.04 gives me and X Ubuntu Classic desktop. If I try to configure multiple screens and reboot, then I get no display. If I try to enable either the current, or the 173 Additional Drivers, I get a blank screen on reboot. I'm stuck and can't get X to load up at all. Any suggestions? [04:53] Hello, does anyone know a way to download apt packages to a specific directory without installing? (I know, WAY off topic, but the action appears to be over...) [04:54] !ot | demonspork [04:54] demonspork: #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! [04:54] Uh, ignore those parentheses/ [04:55] Ok, fresh install of 11.04 gives me and X Ubuntu Classic desktop. If I try to configure multiple screens and reboot, then I get no display. If I try to enable either the current, or the 173 Additional Drivers, I get a blank screen on reboot. I'm stuck and can't get X to load up at all. Does anyone have any suggestions? [04:56] Jordan_U, are there any packages in the ubuntu repo that I might have downloaded, which allow this functionality? [04:56] sidewinder1 ,didnt do any of that, did not burn at the slowest speed either [04:56] honestly I don't remember if I did or didn't [04:56] cypha: I don't know. [04:56] or if I modified any other file [04:56] how would you troubleshoot this? [04:57] cypha: First I would try booting a liveCD of the same version of Ubuntu and see if the keys are still switched. [04:57] Ok, fresh install of 11.04 gives me and X Ubuntu Classic desktop. If I try to configure multiple screens and reboot, then I get no display. If I try to enable either the current, or the 173 Additional Drivers, I get a blank screen on reboot. I'm stuck and can't get X to load up at all. Anyone? [04:57] Jordan_U, I'm on a vbox (Ubuntu Guest, windows 7 host) [04:57] windows 7 has no issues [04:58] cypha: I know. [04:58] oh :) [04:58] !nvidia [04:58] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [04:58] the live cd would be clean though, so I'm 99.9% sure it would not have the switch [04:58] cypha, u talking about "apt-cache policy " ? [04:58] yagoo, no, I don't think so [05:00] Jordan_U, I should also mention that if I do "setxkbmap -option" at the command line, everything goes back to normal [05:00] ...that's how to reset the kbmapping [05:01] cypha: As a work around you can run that at session startup then (meaning that it will not run as root and there will be a display associated with it, both good things). It's still worth trying a LiveCD as a test. [05:02] hello!what's the shortcut of log off?is it ctrl+shift+backspace? [05:02] RamtinA: its now ctl+Sysrq+backspace [05:02] cypha: System Settings > Startup Applications [05:03] RamtinA: earlier it used to be ctl-alt-backspace (though you can activate this back now) [05:03] cypha, you're having a problem with a meta key? [05:03] Jordan_U, I'm on openbox--> https://gist.github.com/f85aad2070b611dee220 [05:03] yagoo, setxkbmap won't undo [05:03] phlak_user:Thanks.what's Sysrq? [05:03] Hey is there any channel for the InstallJammer's help??? [05:03] cypha, meta key is Ctl, alt, SHift, ... [05:03] phlak_user: It would be alt+sysrq+k, and that would be a very ungentle killing of X rather than just "logging off". [05:03] cypha, since you're using vbox.. vbox probably interferes with a meta key (i know in vmware it can) [05:04] RamtinA: on my laptop, its the key between Pause and Insert (it has Prt Sc on top and SysRq below) [05:04] is there a channel for thunderbird ? [05:04] yagoo, I'm trying to use all default stuff [05:04] cypha, check in ur vbox settings.. [05:04] Jordan_U: you need to direct this at the OP -> RamtinA [05:04] Jordan_U, is it possible to get to the Keyboard/layouts tab from the command line? [05:04] to summon this window via CL [05:04] http://devlab.ca/?p=4188 [05:04] UBUNTU Y U WORK FOR [05:05] phlak_user:Thank you so much [05:05] I remember opening that and setting something [05:05] phlak_user: but don't work for me [05:05] ryannathans: I already warned you once about using all caps. Please don't do it again. [05:05] cypha, that may be a meta key for vbox.. vbox may be interfering with that.. [05:05] yagoo, it's not [05:05] stop hilighting me >_< [05:06] why does "meta" highlight you? [05:06] duh [05:06] I deleted my raid array, made it again, tried to format, it wouldn't format, unexpected errors, then i go and delete it again, I made it AGAIN (this time only a pissy 800GB) and it formats and works, can someone explain why I have NO control over a 1.87TB 'disk' but i have perfect control over a 800gb 'disk' [05:06] RamtinA: this will help -> http://www.hackourlife.com/enable-restart-x-server-ctrl-alt-backspace-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal/ [05:06] i mean, why would you have meta highlight you [05:06] DUH [05:06] people would autocomplete in 2011 [05:06] no [05:07] Can someone tell me how to get to this keyboard setup window from command line? http://devlab.ca/?p=4188 [05:08] private_meta: "meta" is a common enough word that you can't fault people for using it. Please either accept the inevitable extra highlights or configure your client to only highlight on your full nick. [05:09] Jordan_U: I'm fully aware of that, and I did, on both accounts :) [05:09] I pretty Ubuntu uch lov [05:10] Jordan_U, is it possible to get to http://devlab.ca/?p=4188 via the command line? [05:10] iterestingslexic keyboard dy [05:10] exactly [05:12] Hi all , does linux support 128 bit processors ??? [05:12] !ot | ranjan_ [05:12] ranjan_: #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! [05:13] Jordan_U, then let me ask, do ubuntu support 128bit processors? [05:13] ranjan_, of course [05:13] ranjan_: No, Ubuntu does not support any architectures with 128 bit processors. [05:14] yagoo, :) Jordan_U said it doesnt :) [05:14] Jordan_U, he's not asking abour architecture.. [05:14] lol [05:14] is there a channel for thunderbird ? [05:14] ranjan_, graphical processors! === BryGuy71 is now known as PunkUity [05:15] I would imagine you could get linux of some sort to run on just about any processor though. === PunkUity is now known as PunkUnity [05:16] netbsd runs on a toaster! [05:17] great support room. [05:18] Ok, looks like gnome-control-center from the command line summoned the necessary gui to edit keyboard settings [05:18] however, when I uncheck "swap control and caps lock", and exit and come back, it is still checked! [05:19] cypha, LOL [05:20] is the currently available beta2 an OK choice for a non-critical user desktop? Is the upgrade path to stable-release--when available painless? [05:20] cypha, you said you were going to try cli!! LOL.. you can't?!! [05:20] No, i said I needed to summon the gui from the command line [05:22] cypha, try using tape with the ctl key :) [05:22] No one with substantial ubuntu experience here? [05:22] lol [05:22] xrdb. [05:22] but of course.. you can't do cli.. [05:22] hi [05:23] Can anyone help me diagnose why I can not hear anything on my netbook (D0255E) [05:23] hi [05:23] PsyCl0ne, could you ever hear stuff before? [05:23] cypha: yes then it got quiet and now nothing [05:24] I am also running Lubuntu... [05:24] 11.04 [05:24] PsyCl0ne: Have you tried rebooting? [05:24] meem1029: Yes [05:25] I'd recommend trying to reboot and choosing an older kernel version at grub. I had problems like that a while ago and that fixed it. [05:25] meem1029: This is a fresh install well besides the addition of Lubuntu restricted extras [05:25] PsyCl0ne: what happened of interest between being able to hear and losing sound? updates? conf edits? [05:25] Oh, hmm. That's odd then. [05:26] almoxarife: I did 2 updates and a restricted extras install so I could watch flash videos. Im sorry Im fairly new so other than that I dont know what else I could have done [05:26] Hey folks, trying to set up vpn using pptp. I can login to remote system, but dns for remote does not work. [05:27] Any ideas what should I do? [05:27] PsyCl0ne: remove the restricted extras, try this so you can regain audio [05:27] Jordan_U, what can I uninstall/reinstall to make this fix? [05:28] I see the dns servers in resolv.conf [05:28] :L [05:28] PsyCl0ne: I don't know about other players but 'totem' does a nice job of adding codecs as needed, restricted or otherwise [05:29] nhr_: does dig @ work? [05:29] ducati998: trying it [05:29] nhr_, ya.. can u "dig" it? LOL [05:30] I got the address back for a hostname [05:30] and your /etc/resolv.conf looks good? [05:30] yes it does - same dns server is shown is resolv.conf [05:31] what about just dig hostname? does that work? [05:32] yes, even that is working [05:32] so what's not working? [05:32] nhr_: what does your sudo route -n look like? [05:32] phlak_user: good idea, but wouldn't the dig prove his route is ok too? [05:33] IF I ping the host it does not resolve, if I use the browser to connect to server, it does not rsolve. Copying route info on pastebin [05:33] nhr_: sudo service iptables stop #just to be sure [05:33] nhr_, there's another dns resolver for the remote internal network? [05:33] ,/tunnel network/ [05:33] ducati998: not necessarily; most VPN probs are related to routing table entries (some people want to route all traffic thro the vpn and some dont) [05:34] phlak_user: gotcha [05:34] Results for route -n http://pastebin.com/B2J93ALe [05:34] ducati998: it all depends on what nhr_ hopes to achieve [05:34] :) [05:34] All I want to achieve is to be able to login to my box by name [05:34] I can do that by ip address right now [05:34] /etc/hosts ;-D [05:34] nhr_: that shows that your default route is thro the VPN (ppp0) [05:35] nhr_: login to your box after setting up the tunnel or for setting up the tunnel? [05:35] I tried googling and might have tried to set up some entries [05:35] phlak_user: so the fix for nhr_ would be to have the resolv.conf adjusted on his 10.0.0.50? [05:35] Dont really understand this stuff :( [05:36] ducati998: yes [05:36] nhr_: listen to phlak_user i think he's on to something :) [05:36] ducati998: he could add another entry in resolv.conf for the other DNS server so that it falls back in case the box name isnt resolvable by the first one [05:37] " nhr_, there's another dns resolver for the remote internal network?" << looks like [05:37] nhr_: what does your /etc/resolv.conf look like? [05:37] phlak_user: I can login to the box, there are three entries in resolv.conf [05:37] two from vpn and one from my router [05:38] basically 3 nameserver entries, 10.0.0.10, 10.0.0.11 and router 192.168.1.1 [05:38] nhr_: do they have a search domain entry as well? [05:39] Well, search/domain point to my local network [05:39] in resolv.conf [05:39] nhr_: like so -> search cyberciti.biz nameserver 10.0.0.10 [05:40] nhr_: replace cyberciti.biz with the domain name of your remote box [05:41] need to install search, installing it now [05:41] nhr_: huh? [05:41] phlak_user: can you elaborate on your thought process of suggesting his search domain being changed? [05:41] I lost my taskbar in ubuntu 11. Can anyone help ? [05:41] when I executed search I got the error, cmd not found and suggested the package [05:42] nhr_: not the *search* package; add that line to resolv.conf just above the nameserver line [05:42] sorry, misunderstood you [05:43] os1ris: you tried to install gnome-shell? [05:43] ducati998: im trying to make his local box go to a specific nameserver for a specific domain === GirlyGirl is now known as Guest82250 [05:43] No.. I just removed it on accident. Wondering on how to get the lower "apps i got open " type taskbar back [05:43] phlak_user: i thought search just appended non resolving hostnames with foo. in attempt to resolve non TLD hosts [05:44] success [05:44] [ 2011.336186] EXT4-fs (sda1): no journal found [05:44] what do? [05:44] at least ping resolves the name properly [05:44] congrads nhr_ :) [05:44] nhr_: what about dig [05:45] ducati998: you're right; it helps him in using only the hostname part inplace of the fqdn [05:45] My understanding is resolv.conf is generated. What do I do to make this permanent or it will retain my changes? [05:45] nhr_: in network-manager where you added the vpn connection [05:45] os1ris: to get it back right click on the panel where there is nothing open or showing and 'add to panel' [05:45] phlak_user: thank you for the clarification [05:45] ducati998: yw [05:45] ok, thanks. I'll set it up. BIG THANKS folks [05:45] nhr_: so is it working? [05:45] phlak_user: whachu think of me error? [05:46] Have not set up the network manager yet, but now dns resolution is working [05:46] I accidentally removed my lower taskbar ( one where shows what programs are open) and now I can not find out how to get it back.> Any help ? [05:47] ryannathans: looks like that partition doesnt have a valid ext4 system [05:47] phlak_user: its dat raid array [05:48] ryannathans: oh that one :) havent got a clue mate [05:48] at max size, ubutntu doesn't want to partition it, it throws random errors, at 800GB, it partitions and throws that error when mounting [05:48] ryannathans: after partitiioning, did you format it (create a filesystem)?

[05:50] ryannathans: ah [05:50] slight problems, if I use the automatic vpn from network manager, it does not allow me to enter the search entry [05:50] If I use the address only entry, it does not get dns from vpn [05:50] I can the add the dns manually, but worried if they change on other side of the connection, will not get those entries back [05:50] ryannathans: ah, sorry, if windows needs to read it too you should make it ntfs [05:50] ryannathans: Logical Volume Manager . you should be following this -> https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/C/advanced-installation.html [05:51] Can anyone assist me in my system tray ( on the bottom issue ) please =] === kernel is now known as Guest3289 [05:51] I partitioned a ~40gb ext4 on an msdos partition table, it's on the 800gb array [05:51] !info lvm [05:51] auronandace: I know.

[06:37] cypha: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup [06:37] cypha: as a last hint [06:37] cypha: could work [06:38] Northwoods: ok so you have your file manageer open to the folder you want the shortcut pointing to ? [06:38] Northwoods: also which version of ubuntu are you using ? [06:38] yes , 10.xx [06:39] 10.04 lucid [06:39] Northwoods: simply ctrl shift drag the folder to the panel [06:39] fritsch, aren't these all the same options available in the gui?

[06:44] Jordan_U, i don't have a blank cd [06:44] cypha: This is VirtualBox, you can treat the iso like a CD. [06:44] Jordan_U, if it occurs on the live cd, what would that indicate? that my Host or VBox are at fault? [06:45] oh, good point [06:45] cypha: Yes. [06:45] k, i'll do it now [06:46] i hope you have options for me if it doesn't work! [06:46] cypha: manual xorg.conf for your keyboard settings should work [06:46] cypha: but another way would be batter [06:46] cypha: custom xmodmap is another alternative [06:47] Jordan_U, I've got the ubuntu ISO [06:47] how do I load it up?

I'll try not to. Long story short, cd ~ used to always take me to my home directory (/home/username/) but now it takes me to an empty directory. "cd .." brings me to root.

[07:01] Alxjrvs: You should've seen me a few weeks ago [07:01] ryannathans: you could boot a laptop with a usb/livecd and compile [07:02] Alxjrvs: did you press ctl+d ?

EEEpc with ubuntu server on it. :3 [07:03] ohzie: hehe [07:03] ohzie: that's what i'm on [07:03] phlak_user: module is compiled and in every damn build since 7 [07:03] phlak_user: i need it in the kernel === Northwoods_ is now known as Northwoods [07:03] Ben64: A lot of people like ulv CPUs for servers nowadays. =P They don't have the brunt, but they can do everything a good server could do a few years ago. =P [07:03] ROAR! [07:04] Ohzie: Gnome three is resonsible for my escapade, too [07:04] I actually really like it [07:04] Alxjrvs: Yeah it makes me feel weird and I hate it. I'm gonna have to get used to it though. [07:04] how do i extract a zip file into /usr/share/php , it doesn't allow me through archive manager [07:04] ohzie: well yeah, but i've never seen an eeepc that would take a raid card [07:04] chown/chmod [07:04] Northwoods: "sudo unzip filename" in the terminal [07:04] Northwoods: [07:04] Ben64, why do you want to extract it there? [07:04] dont chown that folder [07:04] sudo it [07:04] Companion: wrong guy [07:05] Northwoods: What TehDGM said, please don't chown that folder. Lol./ [07:05] ryannathans: Why sudo and not CHOWN ? [07:05] Ben64, guy? [07:05] i'm not the one unzipping [07:05] Northwoods: eh? [07:05] #ubuntu-offtopic is ran by a bunch of babies [07:05] thanks people [07:05] Ben64: They make Atoms for desktop computers too. I just use an EEEpc because I like to be able to put my server in my backpack. =D [07:05] i have nfi what's going on anymore [07:05] because you shouldnt mess with the ownership of that system folder.. theres no need. It can also comprimize security [07:05] Ben64, you know extracting in such place can cause lots of troubles? [07:05] ryannathans: which is why you need to include it in the kernel (monolithic) as against it being a loadable module [07:06] Companion: again, its not me unzipping [07:06] Ben64, so your intending to destroy some one else's system? [07:06] ohzie I'm in my mid twenties, been using linux for... gosh, 10 years now. I've always been a design person, and I have to say that this interface is ~20 pounds sexier than anything i've seen on linux. [07:06] Companion: dude its not me! [07:06] Ben64, then why do you ask it? [07:06] I DID NOT ASK IT [07:06] Ben64, oops xD [07:06] finally [07:06] what is difference between gksudo and sudo ? [07:07] Ben64, srry I just woke up [07:07] Northwoods: gk [07:07] Northwoods: gk is for graphical appliclations [07:07] Northwoods: gksudo makes gui stuff work better [07:07] Alxjrvs: Well it's a good thing some people like it. :-) [07:07] gksudo has a gui thing [07:07] ok [07:07] Northwoods, why your extracting some thing there? :o [07:07] Here's a dumb question: what command logs me out of root? I know I can just reset the window, but I am curious. [07:07] Northwoods: Unzip in ~/Temp ; Move the contents to your desirable directory in the forbidden forest outside of your home directory. [07:07] no all it does is show an input box in a gui rather then a commandline [07:07] Companion: yes [07:07] it doesnt make stuff work better really :P [07:07] Alxjrvs: ctl+d [07:07] Alxjrvs: CTRL+D or "exit" [07:07] Northwoods, I asked why... its dangerous [07:07] Alxjrvs: logout :D [07:07] Alxjrvs: ctrl+d [07:07] Thanks guys [07:07] what === upsetchildren is now known as LindaLoveLace [07:08] Northwoods, extracting stuff into your system can cause orphan packages & Conflicts [07:08] Companion: what should i do then ? [07:08] Northwoods: the sudo line [07:08] Northwoods, what your trying to do then/ [07:08] extract somewhere esle and move ? [07:08] LindaLoveLace: irc as root is not a smart idea [07:08] ohzie: Also, something I discovered that I love: Now, my workstations are relegated to one monitor. So I can keep my dual monitor consistent with a single activity and move around on the other monitor. Fantastic for programming with multiple resources to look at. [07:08] Why is GRUB Prefered over LiLo in Ubuntu? [07:09] i have to extract a zend library [07:09] MAREK_BENC_NetB: because Lilo is ancient [07:09] so i'm thinking of extracting it in /usr/share/php [07:09] MAREK_BENC_NetB: grub got more stuff than lilo [07:09] MAREK_BENC_NetB: "why" is philosophical question [07:09] Northwoods, your trying to run encrypted web pages? [07:09] Northwoods: what do the instructions say? [07:09] Companion: no [07:09] grub is much more powerful then lilo is [07:09] instructions say nothing ? [07:09] Northwoods, or zend framework* srry xD [07:09] But you can put lilo on anything [07:09] Alxjrvs: Yeah, I use multiple computers at work...but I use a windows laptop and a mac at work. ( ,_,) [07:10] Northwoods: where did you get that library from (or did you make it yourself?) [07:10] ok i can extract zend library into /home/northwoods/libraries/ [07:10] Northwoods, do: sudo apt-get install zend-framework [07:10] Ohzie: Yeesh. [07:10] you can also put grub on "everything" [07:10] phlak_user: zend library [07:10] Northwoods, do: sudo apt-get install zend-framework [07:11] Alxjrvs: I was only allowed to use windows until recently. Linux was just a server thing and a my-laptop thing...but we're switching to corporate gmail for everything, so it doesn't matter what I use. So I have a mac on my desk. It's...really pretty. :3 [07:11] Companion: it will start downloading again , i have the archive of zend framework [07:11] i just need to extract it and update the path in php.ini , include_path settings [07:11] Northwoods, its better to instal trough APT :) [07:11] and i'm ready to go [07:11] ok let me ty [07:11] try [07:11] thanks for help [07:11] Alxjrvs: irssi really sucks on a mac's terminal though. The default mac terminal is actually a lot less capable than I'm use to gnome-terminal being. Significantly. :| I downloaded terminator for mac, but I haven't had much chance to play with it yet. [07:12] Northwoods, np its better safe then sorry [07:13] <`Abhijit> I've got a 3g modem (USB dongle) that loads up a virtual CD-ROM on start. Any ideas on how I can automatically 'eject' it on startup? (The volume isn't mounted on start though.. if it helps) Thanks. [07:14] disable booting from usb in your bios [07:15] or do you mean that it mounts it? [07:15] <`Abhijit> TehDGM, it is unmounted but not ejected. The icon shows up on desktop [07:16] ohzie: i use irssi in linux, works fine [07:16] `Abhijit, there is eject command [07:16] add the command to startup script [07:17] http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/natty/man1/eject.1.html [07:17] <`Abhijit> wooter, thanks.. i'll try that === pietro1 is now known as pietro [07:20] sad [07:20] Northwoods, did it work? [07:21] MonkeyDust: I was referring to using it over a mac terminal [07:22] MonkeyDust: irssi in linux is pretty much all I ever use ever for irc. It's fantastic. Everything I could ever want or need in any irc-related situation. [07:22] Companion: I used the zend framework extracted library and extracted it to /home/northwoods/zendframework and now going to update the php.ini for include_path to this folder [07:23] Northwoods, wont work :) [07:25] :) let me try it and see [07:26] hey [07:27] quick question [07:27] i am trying to use chromium [07:28] everytime i start it [07:28] it asks me to set it as default browser, which i do [07:28] and everytime it keeps asking [07:28] fix? [07:28] is it possible to set a global proxy server? [07:28] in ubuntu? [07:29] i believe so zamba [07:29] wooter: where is that set? [07:29] ive had apt-get run thru proxy before [07:29] wooter: yeah, i know about that.. but when i now try to use mplayer to stream something, a proxy is used [07:29] for the strangest reason [07:29] i've never experienced that before [07:29] you probably set a proxy [07:30] Ben64: well, where? [07:30] do you have chrome [07:30] Ben64: yes [07:30] did you set a proxy in there [07:30] Ben64: i tried the proxy switchy! extension there [07:30] Ben64: so yeah [07:30] theres your problem :) [07:30] so no one has any ideas onn my problen [07:30] ? [07:30] Ben64: but how does mplayer use that proxy? that makes no sense? [07:30] chrome likes to set proxy system wide [07:31] Ben64: yeah, but why and how does mplayer use that? [07:31] ben64 i have no idea what that means [07:31] Ben64: it has to be set in some file that mplayer reads? [07:31] http://how-to.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_use_mplayer_with_a_proxy_server [07:31] wooter: did you read what i actually asked? [07:31] i just want to make chromium the default browser and stop it form asking me [07:31] wooter: i don't want mplayer to use a proxy, i DON'T want it to be using the one it's using [07:33] Chrome doesn't set its own proxy, it respects the system proxy instead - and so its proxy settings button points to the system proxy === Morfeus^_ is now known as Morfeus^ [07:35] Hello. How can I find out who created, changed or deleted which file and when? [07:35] I can't compile kernel on a liveusb.. one of the packages can't install [07:37] http://pastebin.com/E6ENb12T [07:38] ryannathans: methinks you can safely ignore those two errors [07:40] what about http://pastebin.com/srtMMgH4 [07:41] i installed Ubuntu from a USB stick, did the whole setup, restarted to PC but it just loads Windows, no option seen to boot into Ubuntu, what did I miss? [07:41] wrenny: bootloader [07:41] yeah [07:42] I said nothing about that in direction on the Ubuntu web site [07:42] it [07:42] Companion: you are right [07:42] it didn't work [07:42] i'll have to use APT [07:42] phlak_user: http://pastebin.com/srtMMgH4 [07:43] how can i watch veoh on ubuntu [07:43] how can i watch veoh on ubuntu? [07:43] says nothing about a needing a bootloader on this url: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download [07:44] wrenny: you installed bootloader on wrong disc when installing [07:44] what? [07:45] wrenny: every OS needs a boot loader, that is a given [07:45] i used the tool to create the Ubuntu install from a usb device [07:45] So, if I wanted to run a quick stress test on a new internatl 2TB hard drive, what command would I use with Bonnie++? [07:45] and foloowed the directions to the letter on that url [07:45] !grub | wrenny [07:45] wrenny: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [07:45] it just says, reboot and enjoy Ubuntu? [07:46] gechmog: try ./bonnie++ -u root [07:46] yea well it would have been nice for the main website of Ubuntu to even mention that [07:46] hi [07:47] wrenny: it installs while installing ubuntu [07:47] what does [07:47] hey guys i have linux 10.04 and i would like to share folders to any computer whchi is not in local but it is also window based how can i share the folder to window? [07:47] you have failed and put it on wrong partition or drive, or theres an error [07:47] grub -.- [07:47] no error [07:47] I'm experiencing flickering on desktop when having effects enabled on 2500K sandy bridge GPU, is there any parameter/PPA with updated drivers that could fix that? [07:47] wrenny: it's not all verbose [07:47] like I said I follow the direction on that url to the letter [07:47] Is Unity easier in use than Gnome? [07:48] Hey, is there a terminal command i can use to disable restricted nvidia drivers? Installed them and after reboot I'm getting fsck boot... [07:48] wrenny: The instructions could have been a lot longer and could have included a lot more details, (one could write a pretty nice size book on how to install Linux). [07:48] i chose ot install beside current windows OS [07:48] The_BROS: depends on what you like [07:48] FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU [07:48] hmm, i just updated the firmware on my SSD (and reinstalled windows) so i decided to change back my controller to AHCI [07:48] Qnnari: fsck isn't bad [07:48] wrenny: Do you have more than one hard drive? [07:48] i've noticed that grub wont boot anything while in AHCI and the bootsplash for grub doesn't appear in AHCI mode [07:48] its not? scared the shit out of me... [07:48] I allocated space on C: for it [07:48] is there something i have to do to get grub to work with AHCI? [07:48] how can i watch veoh on ubuntu? [07:48] hey guys i have linux 10.04 and i would like to share folders to any computer whchi is not in local but it is also window based how can i share the folder to window? [07:49] Qnnari: it happens every n boots [07:49] Hi folks I have 3 computers here all running ubuntu. I would like to save bandwidth by having only one computer downloading packages how can I do it? [07:49] an I see the partitions in Windows disk manager [07:49] wrenny: Do you have more than one internal hard drive? [07:49] yes several [07:49] wrenny: How many? [07:49] i created a separate partition on my main drive [07:49] it [07:49] MonkeyDust: I don't want to run the command under root, I just really want to do a thorough test. [07:49] i see it [07:49] 50 GB [07:50] wrenny: How many? [07:50] MonkeyDust: I mean should I install gnome 3 in 11.10 release or better to become accustomed to Unity? [07:50] gechmog: try your username instead of root [07:50] Ben64: Maybe I explained myself badly, what I'm getting is a black screen and ubuntu itself wont boot up [07:50] 4 [07:50] i2c: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Debmirror [07:50] The_BROS: the same: depends on what you like more - i don't like unity so i don't use it [07:50] Qnnari: what video card [07:50] thanks th_:) [07:51] The_BROS: try them out and decide yourself.. i personally hate gnome-shell, at least for it not working correctly with ati cards =P [07:51] What do? http://pastebin.com/3fSeqQ7p [07:51] Ben64: Nvidia geforce gt 540m [07:51] ryannathans: apt-get update [07:51] :) [07:51] th_: my ATI works good with Gnome [07:51] !nomodeset | Qnnari [07:51] Qnnari: 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 [07:51] so are you saying the usb install installs grub by default or what [07:51] th_: I just did that -.- [07:52] wrenny: Try changing the boot order so that a different drive is first (or if your BIOS has a one time boot menu option that would probably be easier/faster). Try with each drive (whether you think it makes sense for that drive to boot Ubuntu or not) until one works. If none work then come back and use my nick (Jordan_U) in your comment so I see it. [07:52] Qnnari: try that before trying to remove nvidia drivers [07:52] The_BROS: gnome3 surely does not work with proprietary ati cards [07:52] *driver [07:52] Ben64: Thanks! [07:52] boot order where [07:52] please help me? [07:52] nothing loads [07:52] wrenny: Grub is always installed by default. It just wasn't installed to the drive that your BIOS is currently configured to boot from. [07:52] with 11.9 it more or less starts (oneirich has 11.8 drivers), but can't launch any opengl app in it [07:52] th_: mmm... its pity [07:52] !helpme| honey [07:52] honey: Avoid following your questions with a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [07:53] my boot order is usb/CD/HDD [07:53] wrenny: Your BIOS doesn't give you an option for which of your 4 internal hard drives it boots from? [07:53] Is this a good idea to install 11.10 release tomorrow or is better to wait, until it becomes stable? [07:54] yes [07:54] no [07:54] :P [07:54] It set to the main drive with Windows on it [07:54] MonkeyDust: What does ./ mean? [07:54] The_BROS: if you want stable, LTS is your best bet [07:54] Doesn't that mean just "current directory" [07:54] The_BROS: i'd wait few weeks tbh, there's bunch of critical bugs still open that aren't fixed [07:54] and I can see the new partitions Ubuntu created on the SAME drive [07:54] lts all the way [07:54] where is north? [07:54] gechmog: it means current directory [07:55] The_BROS: Your mileage may vary. We all don't have same hardware. You should do a test run first. [07:55] Ben64: you mean 10.04? [07:55] wrenny: Try changing the boot order so that a different drive is first (or if your BIOS has a one time boot menu option that would probably be easier/faster). Try with each drive (whether you think it makes sense for that drive to boot Ubuntu or not) until one works. If none work then come back and use my nick (Jordan_U) in your comment so I see it. Please trust me on this and just try it. [07:55] I setup spamassasin and setup emails spam@xxx.com and ham@xxx.com for people bounch mail to for training. Then a cron job for sa-learn. This should work, right? [07:55] Ben64: 10.04 doesn't even install on quite big range of new hardware [07:55] The_BROS: that is the current one, yes [07:55] like mine [07:55] th_: like what [07:56] What do i do? http://pastebin.com/SUnFQpYB [07:56] so it may have installed grub on another drive? [07:56] wrenny: Correct. [07:56] simply because parted has segfault bug which concerns huge amount of new hard disks, and this is fixe only in 11.04 and above, and haven't been backported to 10.04.3 iso's [07:56] q: how would i set up ubuntu for kids, thinking safe web browsing ? [07:57] and it's not just partitioning, you can't proceed with installer as parted segfaults right from reading the disk [07:57] OY1R: You could use a filter on the browser. [07:57] OY1R: #edubuntu might have people more familiar with that type of thing. [07:57] for example all spinpoints and long range of ssd's make parted to segfault [07:57] i see no new partition on any drive except my 1st drive [07:57] thanks [07:57] Oh [07:57] is there anything specific i have to do to make AHCI work with grub? [07:57] xpurple, I admire you for owning xxx.com [07:57] October 13th! [07:57] Companion: Hahahaha, example :) [07:57] Companion: Anyway, that should work, right? [07:57] I thought it was OCTOBER 12TH [07:57] wrenny: I find it easier to shut down. Unplug all Internal HDD that you're not going to install OS on. (Keeping OS and Personal Consumption separate). When it comes to bootloader, select manually. Make sure you remember which /dev/sda (or /dev/sdb) -- You'll see which is your primary HDD when you're doing partition stuffs. [07:58] xpurple, lemme read [07:58] xpurple, there is an easyer method [07:58] Companion: Oh? [07:58] xpurple, when installing Virtualmin (Webmin Fork) you can let it auto configure Spam Assassin [07:58] i2c: I don't know the "right way" to tell the two other linux PCs to use the first one for updates ... but I did something like that by syncing the /var/cache/apt/archives/ directory from one to the other machines after having installed updates. [07:58] i saw nothing in the install Of Ubuntu that gave any option for a bootloaded [07:58] hi. does any of you know some irc channel for support in c programming? [07:59] OY1R: I use FoxFilter for the one I built for kids. There are others. See: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/es?q=parental+control&cat=all [07:59] or even a drive [07:59] xpurple, and its easyer to manage website/e-mails etc [07:59] i2c: So when you run update on the other machines the needed packages are already there and don't need to be downloaded agin. [07:59] *again [07:59] is there anything specific i have to do to make AHCI work with grub? [07:59] camil_: I think the channel is ##C [07:59] wrenny: The portion of grub in question is in the boot sector and post-mbr gap, not in any partition. Please follow my instructions and just trust me. I won't be here much longer but I'd like to help you. [08:00] why is oneric not being advertised anywhere if its going to release tomorrow? [08:00] usr13, thanks [08:00] sanduz2: Why should it? [08:00] wrenny: The bootloader does not occupy a new partition. [08:00] Companion: Hmm, I'd prefer nothing they have to login to as my users are not very tech savy. [08:00] vlt, they usually have a count down or something on the front page at least [08:00] ok [08:00] wrenny: do as Jordan_U suggested. [08:00] brb [08:00] DJones - "Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services" [08:00] xpurple, they wont have to login, you can set it up & you can do the work for them [08:00] !register | camil_ [08:00] camil_: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [08:01] camil_: You'll need to register your nick with freenode and identify [08:01] 10x! [08:01] so at what time is ubuntu 11.10 releasing? [08:01] vlt: thanks I'll give it ago [08:01] xpurple, you can also set it up that way that it goes trough > POP3 > Spam Assassin > Forward [08:01] <_ramo> hi [08:02] Companion: I currently have them pop mail so the mboxes are empty when I check them except at night when the shop is closed. [08:02] sanduz2: There are no official release time. [08:02] <_ramo> how do i install a .bin file in ubuntu 10.04? i've tried with sudo thefile.bin but i jost got a "command not found" [08:02] xpurple, ah that bycicle [08:02] _ramo: You run it. [08:02] _ramo: What are you actually trying to install? [08:03] _ramo: You more-than-likely will need to enable executable bit on it first. What is it? [08:03] Hey, will there by any chance be a Windows Ubuntu Installer for 11.10 by any chance? When it does come out? [08:03] Companion: Yes, so long as what I have works I'm happy. Easy enough to train 20 or so people to bounce messages. [08:03] I want to get a friend into Ubuntu. [08:03] <_ramo> usr13: Jordan_U it's http://bitnami.org/stack/redmine#nativeInstaller the native installer for linux [08:03] <_ramo> i did a chmod a+x on the file before [08:03] <_ramo> but still the same effect [08:04] xpurple, I made it too easy for the people at my work, now they fired me cause I am no longer needed :') [08:04] !info redmine > _ramo [08:04] Ibis: 11.04 is new enough. [08:04] Ibis: beter learn by using the live cd [08:04] Ibis: wubi? [08:04] Companion: hahahaha [08:04] <_ramo> phlak_user: this version is too old [08:04] TehDGM: Yes. [08:04] Jordan_U, Try Ubuntu or Install Ubuntu? [08:04] MonkeyDust: It's not for me. [08:05] xpurple, its real simple I setup Virtualmin + Usermin made a skin/theme that is idiot proof and it works :) [08:05] MonkeyDust: I got the real deal installed, I want to show a new friend linux. [08:05] Companion: I will do some reading on that. [08:05] get him a cdrom then :P [08:05] Companion: Thank you! [08:05] _ramo: BitNami is not supported. Please just use Ubuntu packaged components instead. [08:05] you can even order them for free if you dont want/cant burn them [08:05] _ramo: ok, did you chmod +x filename and then run it by sudo ./filename [08:05] xpurple, its np, virtualmin also supports Pop3 and such and has a great overview on spamassasin and such [08:05] <_ramo> Jordan_U: it is a bitnami image on a amazon instance [08:06] <_ramo> phlak_user: yes i did [08:06] _ramo: ./ also? [08:06] <_ramo> phlak_user: all i got is: sudo bitnami-subversion-1.6.15-0-linux-installer.bin sudo: bitnami-subversion-1.6.15-0-linux-installer.bin: command not found [08:06] _ramo: BitNami is not supported here. [08:06] <_ramo> Jordan_U: okay [08:06] * xpurple sleeps [08:06] <_ramo> phlak_user: this works [08:06] i deleted all new partitions created and I'd like to start over. How can I delete the hiding grub install too? [08:07] _ramo: of course it does :) [08:07] <_ramo> ;) [08:07] when you reinstall it will overwrite your grub [08:07] wrenny: whats that? [08:07] wrenny: Why didn't you do as Jordan_U suggested? [08:08] wrenny: It resides on the first 512kb, really tiny. Do what Jordan_U suggested. Stop pretending. [08:08] wrenny: You will find the information you need here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2?action=show&redirect=GRUB2 [08:08] I dont want to change my boot order , Why isnt the install smart enough just to ask where I want it installed? [08:08] wrenny: You don' [08:09] wrenny: If you use the manual partitioning option then you will be asked where to install grub. You can also install grub wherever you want manually after install (from the liveCD). [08:10] wrenny: It's a known (and confirmed) bug with debian-installer. [08:10] wrenny: You don't have to change the boot order perminately. Jordan_U just suggested doing it temporarily so that you can boot into Ubuntu and install the boot loader on the correct drive. [08:10] Jordan_U, any reason you've been ignoring me? [08:10] usr13 yea i never even saw a boot menu at all after installing Ubuntu [08:11] cypha: I haven't been. I'm just juggling a lot of things at the moment. "Try Ubuntu" [08:11] i do see in Windows that my D:drive is drive 0 but windows is on 1 [08:11] wrenny: You need to get Ubuntu bootet back up so that you can repair the boot loader, (so that you can install it on the correct drive). [08:12] Jordan_U, k, well, ctrl and caps lock are normal in there [08:12] I also installed debian [08:12] normal in there as well [08:12] If I try to now install Ubuntu fresh again can I do it correctly the 1st time now? [08:12] and what must a do differnt [08:12] wrenny: You will find the information you need here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2?action=show&redirect=GRUB2 [08:13] wrenny: You may have to install Ubuntu to USB again because it is possible that the USB have been set up with bootloader from grub-install. [08:13] I have a question and I hope I can word it correctly... [08:13] wrenny: is another os on the disk? [08:13] can only a child process of a parent process be in a "defunct" state or can a parent process be like that as well? [08:13] how to update gnome 3 in ubuntu 11.04 [08:13] win7 [08:13] on C: [08:13] !gnome3 | viki [08:13] viki: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and cannot be downgraded safely. [08:14] Lasers: Ubuntu's installer is smart enough not to install grub to external drives (unless of course you're installing the rest of Ubuntu to said external drive). [08:14] I did the util last night and put the live CD on a usb thumb drive [08:14] wrenny: when you power up what comes up first, grub or MBR? [08:14] installed from that exactly by the web site instructions [08:15] wrenny: You can boot the LiveCD or USB thumb drive and repair as needed. [08:15] noothing [08:15] it just loads windows [08:15] no menu [08:15] Lasers thanks for suggestion [08:15] hello [08:15] wrenny: If you follow my instructions Ubuntu will boot. I could have helped you get grub onto whatever drive you wanted but I need to leave now. Good luck. [08:15] Jordan_U: Bugs are bugs. We don't know if he/she use GUI installer or text-based installer. I speak from experiences with text-based installer that it's best to select it manually because some hardwares treats the usb as /dev/sda (as the first device). [08:16] I will install again [08:16] does anyone know how to update python to 3.x [08:16] wrenny: have you had a good install of ubuntu already? [08:16] hopelully I can find an option of what drive its gonna put the install onto [08:16] viki: If you really want to try Gnome3, get it from Fedora. [08:16] i saw nothing [08:17] viki: Run it in Virtualbox at least! [08:17] almoxarife: He doesn't know, he has been unable to boot it. [08:17] I installed it fine, all looked good, then after a rebbot it just loaded windows and I saw no menu option to load Ubuntu [08:17] hey guys i have linux 10.04 and i would like to share folders to any computer whchi is not in local but it is also window based how can i share the folder to window? [08:17] wrenny: If you do decide to select where to install grub manually do *not* select a partition. Grub's boot sector should always be installed to the mbr (e.g. /dev/sda and *not* /dev/sda1). [08:17] Could someone help me with my Lubuntu install and why it doesnt output any sound? [08:17] wrenny: Stupid question. Try plugging in the USB and reboot your machine. You could see the GRUB if you boot up the USB again. [08:17] laser: then which gui is better for ubuntu 11.04 [08:18] honey, you mean ubuntu 10.04> [08:18] wrenny: you want to be careful, don't lose win7 too [08:18] maybe [08:18] if I leave the usb stick in [08:18] honey: Share files with what? Another Linux PC? Another MS Windows PC? [08:18] yea [08:18] HackNewton: yes [08:19] brb [08:19] viki: There are !de (desktop environment). What I use -- I'm comfortable with.... may not be the same thing you're comfortable with. There are Gnome, KDE, LXDE, awesome, XFCE, etc. [08:19] honey: You are wanting to share files with another Windows PC on your LAN? Is that what you want to do? [08:19] honey: in nautilus right click on the folder and then click on sharing [08:19] usr13:another Ms windows Pc [08:19] !samba | honey [08:19] honey: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [08:20] usr13: nautilus is a much simpler method [08:20] laser: thanks [08:20] viki: Gnome3 uses Gnome3. Ubuntu use Unity. [08:20] almoxarife: Tell honey [08:20] !unity | viki [08:20] viki: Unity is the default UI for Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. You can still boot to the classic GNOME desktop; see !classic. [08:20] usr13: did [08:21] usr13:i would like to share to window machine in my ubuntu machine alrady i install ssh [08:22] almoxarife: Very good. Now he knows, there are two methods. (Thanks for telling me, I've not used Nautilus method.) [08:22] Jordan_U, so what's the next step? [08:22] honey: the machines are on a local network? [08:22] cypha: I don't know. [08:23] almoxarife:it is not on local network [08:23] Jordan_U, did I tell you that I found something regarding swapcaps in xorg.log? https://gist.github.com/59151e2e216f39441b6d [08:23] Hi ! I have Ubuntu 11.04 on an HP Mini 110 but it freezes at bootup. Any help ? I was told to blacklist the b43 driver from the boot menu. How do I( do that ? [08:23] honey: almoxarife wants to know if they are both connected to the same router or switch. So they are not? Well, maybe you need to describe your LAN. [08:24] I can't tell where it's reading the info from though [08:25] honey: what type of network setup is it? [08:25] almoxarife:? [08:26] honey: He needs to know how these two computers are connected to the network. Can you describe your network? [08:26] honey: describe the network configuration you have that needs the machines talking to each other [08:27] what is the difference between "ubuntu", and "ubuntu server" ? and how can I find out which of the two I'm running ? [08:27] they are in different routers [08:27] almoxarife:they are in different routers [08:27] honey: That will be a problem. [08:27] despe70: server is partitioned differently and it has no GUI [08:27] Using waf to build a NS-3 simulation in Natty 64-bit I get this error: http://pastebin.com/VhGyuqMz any suggestions? [08:27] Hi ! How do I disable the b43 module from being loaded at startup in the Grub menu ? [08:27] honey: does one router provide dhcp for the rest of the routers? [08:28] honey: Do you have any type of tunneling set up? Can they ssh or ping each other? [08:28] despe70: and other packages are installed by default [08:28] honey: Tell us the IP addresses of the two machines. [08:28] the inside IP addresses of each. [08:28] ok waite aminute [08:28] MonkeyDust: k, can I find out which one I'm running ? I didn't install it myself and it's still hardy ... considering upgrading, but I want to make sure to follow the correct track [08:29] despe70: type lsb_release -a [08:29] usr13: that's a better way of asking [08:29] You guys have ops? [08:29] Derpadong: Sure, what do you need? [08:29] cause id say kickban evva [08:29] evva is a bot [08:29] MonkeyDust: that says "distributor id: ubuntu, description ubuntu 8.04" [08:30] monkeydust: so it's the "regular" ubuntu ? [08:30] that's old LTS release [08:30] despe70: seems so, 8.04 is an LTS [08:30] Derpadong: We'll let them know. [08:30] Okay [08:30] you can upgrade directly to 10.04, which is next (and current) LTS [08:30] i'd recommend skipping non-LTS releases =P [08:31] I just came in and evva messaged me with a link and said sex [08:31] usr13:for the ubuntu=10.128.60.142 and for windows=10.124.99.93 [08:31] Lol [08:31] I love this dualboot for the cr48 [08:31] k thx [08:32] I'm having an issue where I've switched capslock and ctrl, but now I can't switch them back to normal. I found something regarding swapcaps in xorg.log? https://gist.github.com/59151e2e216f39441b6d but I'm not sure from what file it's reading this information. Would someone mind taking a look and saying what file the swapcaps option is written in? [08:32] So is there a way to change the look the notify-osd? [08:33] Hi ! How do I disable the b43 module from being loaded at startup in the Grub menu ? [08:34] honey: can those two machines see each other? [08:34] almoxarife:no [08:36] honey: are the two routers sharing the same router ahead of them? [08:37] Hey !! How can I prevent the b43 module from being loaded at startup ? Which part of the Grub menu do I edit ? [08:38] jenk: b43** is broadcom, right? it is not being loaded in the grub, imho [08:38] How do I submit a bug in Natty?

Following this post, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1467734 I found that I have to disable it from being loaded, from the Grub menu. [08:40] honey: take a look at https://secure.logmein.com/products/hamachi/ ubuntu support as well as windows [08:42] Hi, i've a Bind9 with a (new) MySQL Backend, and i'm wondering why when i do this command : "host nnnnn.whatever.mydomain.lan" i get multiple entries, do you know why ?

[08:42] KamZou: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:43] I'm trying to upgrade my webserver from 8.04 to 10.04. I'm following the LucidUpgrades info for it (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades). However, when I start do-release-upgrade, this tells me that it's unsafe to do it over SSH. I only have SSH access to the server - should I just go ahead, or is there a better solution ? [08:44] despe70: use ssh + screen! [08:44] despe70: with screen it is safe [08:44] k [08:44] jenk: i checked it, can't say, kindly repeat your initial question, maybe someone else can help [08:46] Hi !! How do I disable the b43/ssb module from being loaded at startup ? [08:46] despe70: but i dont know what is happening when screen get updated but its defnitly safer then just using ssh [08:47] jenk: is this what you arew looking for >>> from your link>>> I restarted and when presented with the Grub screen, I pressed "e" to edit the startup options, and added "blacklist b43" at the end of the list of options. This allowed the Mini to boot successfully. [08:47] there is a modules black list [08:47] !blacklist | jenk [08:47] jenk: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist.conf and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [08:47] iceroot: i'm running in screen now and didn't get teh complaint from the do-release-upgrade, so they consider it safer too [08:47] jenk: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [08:47] or the check is unreliable :) [08:48] despe70: the check cant see that you are using ssh when inside screen [08:48] almoxarife, Exactly ! Only thing, I don't know where to put that line. [08:48] I'd like my Ubuntu server 11.10 to notify my via email if a reboot is required due to automatic updating. What is the best way of achieving this? [08:49] feisar_, That's not possible as I cannot boot into Ubuntu, neither from the recovery mode. I need to blacklist the b43/ssb module or prevent it from being lo9aded at startup, in order to boot. Thanks, though. [08:49] jenk: grub screen? press 'e'?? or that is not an option? [08:49] feisar_: with ksplice, you do not have to reboot the server after a kernel upgrade - ksplice is now property of oracle [08:50] feisar_: "debian-goodies" [08:50] feisar_: there is a script which is telling you that a restart is needed [08:50] almoxarife, I can do that, but where do I add the " blacklist b43 ssb" option ? At the end ? At the beginning ? [08:50] MonkeyDust: there are still reasons to reboot the system, even with ksplice [08:50] MonkeyDust: e.g. dbus-update, libc-update [08:51] ok [08:51] jenk: again from your link>> edit the startup options, and added "blacklist b43" at the end of the list of options [08:52] jenk: your link says 'b43' you typed 'b43 ssb' there may be an issue there [08:52] almoxarife, At the end ? As in, on a new line ? Or continuing from the last line ? Do I have to precede it with a '-' like "-blacklist b43 ssb" ? [08:53] I'm having an issue where I've switched capslock and ctrl, but now I can't switch them back to normal. I found something regarding swapcaps in xorg.log--> https://gist.github.com/59151e2e216f39441b6d , but I'm not sure from what file it's reading this information. Would someone mind taking a look and saying what file the swapcaps option is written in? [08:53] almoxarife, I'm trying to blacklist both. [08:53] MonkeyDust: thanks but it would still be good to know if a reboot is needed [08:54] feisar_: see iceroot's advice :) [08:54] does anyone know if it is possible to be notified via emai if a system reboot is needed? [08:54] feisar_: i already told you [08:54] feisar_: debian-goodies === Companion is now known as ionibrokeit [08:55] cpu [08:55] jenk: perhaps someone needs to investigate the particulars of grub line editing, specific to their needs, I know I do it alottttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt === ionibrokeit is now known as Companion [08:56] iceroot: oh great stuff, thanks [08:56] almoxarife, K, thanks, though.

That mentions: "you may need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and change the default boot kernel to the newly installed 10.04 kernel". I checked that file, and it contains only references to 10.04. That should be fine then ? [09:31] PhoenixSTF, how much ram do you have?

[09:33] meco: you might try mplayer -af volume=10 though [09:33] meco: start with 10, it's a lot [09:33] compdoc, nop how do i do that' [09:33] Hi I got following error. How do I resolve? http://pastebin.com/28s78xUk. [09:34] No TvL2386, I have always had sound [09:34] love, if you're using hdmi out, you have to select it in sound preferences?

[09:35] iceroot : yes firefox [09:35] meco: well you could download it with downloadhelper and play it, but yeah potentially inconvenient [09:35] TvL2386, I never use it, it is just there okay [09:35] meco: pavucontrol doesn't produce any change? [09:35] jivjiv: why not just using the firefox from the repos? [09:35] so love, you used to have audio, but the device disappeared [09:35] PhoenixSTF, depending on the options you have in fstab, its normally: sudo shutdown -rF now [09:35] reisio: I already have pavucontrol at maximum [09:35] TvL2386, I always have audio [09:35] meco: but it did make a difference? [09:35] jivjiv : I have modified the code a bit now I have moved code to new machine.

But there areissues [09:36] reisio: Well, no, since it was already at maximum before the current need arose... [09:36] meco: okay... so if you lower the volume it changes? [09:36] TvL2386, The issue is that my internal mic is not usable because the noise cancellation is not working in Ubuntu 11.04 [09:36] jivjiv: as it seems you are missing files/packages. install the packages the error is suggesting === The_Phoenix1 is now known as The_Phoenix [09:36] alsamixer does it nicely!

Can you give me the exact apt-get install line to execute. I have been searching ubuntu packages but without success [09:37] compdoc, np ^ thnaks anyway [09:37] does 11.11 has Gnome 3.2? :O [09:37] But it is not stable enough for me for day to day work [09:38] so pavucontrol isn't aware of alsa's volume levels? :p [09:38] bit daft [09:38] seems so [09:38] I am searching for a fix but am not coming up with anything [09:38] love, maybe this helps (don't think so): http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1763536 [09:39] love http://blog.mageprojects.com/2009/03/24/get-your-microphone-working-in-ubuntu-904-and-skype-x64/ [09:40] jivjiv: sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev [09:40] I want a quick way of pastebinning code from the command line.

[09:44] rabbi1: what OS is the other person on? [09:45] Wow so I ether have to reinstall windows or wait until 10.11 is released just so I can use my internal mic on my laptop [09:46] reisio: not sure, guess as Windows/ Mac [09:46] scp is only for intranet right [09:46] rabbi1: and the Ubuntu Server isn't a web server? [09:46] Sure wish I was raised as a Linux developer\ [09:46] rabbi1: no it's for any ssh client/server [09:46] love: I wish I was raised as supreme world overlord [09:46] ...developer [09:47] love: Feel free to try the beta and add any drivers you like. If they're stable, they may be added to 11.10 release. [09:47] 11.10 is to be released real soon now [09:47] love: technically if there's something 11.10 can do, you can make it work with whatever version you have now [09:48] love: you found some bug and they said it's fixed in 11.10 ? [09:48] gry, it is more like I want to mod the driver some how in 11.04 [09:48] reisio: ubuntu server is a webserver [09:48] reisio, now we are talking! [09:48] love: Feel free to do so.

[09:48] rabbi1: and give your friend the URI (http://domain.tld/path/to/file) [09:49] i have a folder with a bunch of subfolders, i want to use cp -r ./[!b] ./backup; but how come this doesn't work? [09:49] gry [09:49] gry:ok thx [09:49] reisio: o, ok that can be done, great brb then [09:49] Operaist2: hrmm? [09:49] Operaist2: what do you expect it to do? [09:49] reisio, no I just tried 11.10 for a while and was sooooo sooooo happy that I could use my internal mic! [09:49] It was so clear and noise free! [09:50] jrib: i expect it to copy every other folders into the backup folder [09:50] love: Ok. This is stable support channel - please do not discuss 11.10 here. You could try #ubuntu+1 and #ubuntu-devel for the other stuff. Thank you. [09:50] Operaist2: what does "every other folders" mean? [09:51] jrib: pretty sure every other folder is self-explanatory [09:51] Operaist2: not really. What do you expect your "./[!b]" to do? [09:51] everything that doesnt start with b? [09:51] gry, so do you have any ideas how to mod the audio driver in 11.04 to make the noise cancellation work correctly on my internal mic? [09:51] love: chances are it's only a difference with the kernel or alsa versions [09:52] Operaist2: it means every file that is exactly one character long and that character is not "b" [09:52] reisio, yeah true that [09:52] love: Sorry, I am not a developer myself, neither I know anything about Ubuntu 11.10, sorry. Other channels may know more. [09:52] gry sure [09:53] love: They must have a changes list somewhere, but I really don't know where, and they have a #ubuntu+1 to ask about this. [09:54] hi, which version would you recommend for laptop use (lower specs laptop), 10.04 or 11.04 ? [09:54] NuxRo: define 'lower specs' [09:54] NuxRo: What specs? [09:55] celeron cpu, 1 gb ram [09:55] I think 11.04 is faster, and has more drivers [09:55] NuxRo: celeron is nonspecific, do you have a model number? [09:55] 11.10 running gnome 3 with compiz out the arse [09:55] thats what i recommend [09:55] NuxRo: probably 10.04 since it's LTS and your machine likely has older intel gfx [09:55] NuxRo: You might consider Lubuntu or Xubuntu in your choices there. [09:55] i read 11 has some nasty regressions in power usage and boot speed [09:55] i dont have a specific celeron model [09:55] NuxRo: 11.04 has the bug also like 10.10 [09:55] NuxRo: are you on IRC with this system right now? [09:55] easy enough to try both [09:56] reisio: no [09:56] compdoc: yeah, i think i'll try both [09:56] cheers [09:56] well, really hard to say [09:56] "celeron" covers like ... 700MHz to 2GHz+ [09:56] reisio: it's more recent, probably in the 2 GHz range [09:56] 1GB RAM isn't great, though, you can probably augment that on the cheap, though [09:57] NuxRo: see if crucial.com has any good deals for the ram right now, then you can use whatever without worry [09:57] just another gig would vastly improve that box [09:57] reisio: but with it as it is (the owner is not interested in hardware upgrades atm), which version do you recommend? [09:58] NuxRo: I don't know, does it have a dedicated graphics device, or just onboard? [09:58] Hmmm [09:59] reisio: how can i do it, unable to , it's showing 0 bytes [09:59] Hi all [09:59] rabbi1: what is? [09:59] luckymurali: hi === DND_ is now known as Intel`` [10:00] reisio: dont have that info, cheers anyway, will try 10.04 and take it from there [10:00] :p [10:00] I installed ubuntu server on VMware [10:00] version 11.04 [10:00] luckymurali: yeah? [10:00] !enter | luckymurali [10:00] luckymurali: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [10:01] hello. attempting to install ubuntu 10.04 on a celeron 1.1 256 with active XP operating system. I manage to boot from live cd, but recieve this message: (initramfs) unable to find a medium containing a live file system. boot also take a very long time. [10:01] instead use the bot as punctuation [10:01] any suggestions? [10:01] hi guys i need help with traceroute. im tracing an ip address and there are 3 hops that missed. does this mean there's a problem with ISP? [10:01] AofA: try re-burning the media, use a slower speed [10:01] AofA: or use a USB stick if you can [10:01] hi, just a short question, i haven't been able to answer w/googling: do i have the option to install ubuntu server from a live DVD image, or dvd version is the same as desktop cd w/more packages on the install media? [10:01] http://pastie.org/2682001 [10:02] neo_21670: the dvd has fluff you don't need [10:02] Intel``: depending who is managing the missing hosts [10:02] neo_21670: i18n stuff, IIRC [10:02] you think the problem is with the live cd I made? [10:02] neo_21670: server is partitioned differently [10:02] neo_21670, dvd version i think it just an install DVD not live dvd [10:02] I had some packages installed from PPA. Now I removed that ppa from APT list and want to install the packages from the main Ubuntu repository. How would I do this? When I issue: apt-get install --reinstall it says: Reinstallation of gstreamer0.10-plugins-good is not possible, it cannot be downloaded. Why? [10:02] MonkeyDust: like? [10:02] MonkeyDust: what different layout does the server-edition have? [10:02] For the live medium error try plugging in the usb stick in a usb slot wiv2.0 [10:03] iceroot: /var and others are on separate partitions, i tried it [10:03] hi guy, I ask you an help to install an ubuntu server distro on a raid 0. Usually I install ubuntu desktop live, using apt-get install kpartx otherwise I cannot use raid configuration. Instead, using Ubuntu Server, I cannot install kpartx before the installation process, so it is impossibile for me install this on raid. Have you any solution please? [10:03] MonkeyDust: the only difference is that the server-edition is using pae by default on 32bit systems and doesnt have a gui [10:03] iceroot, it seems its the isp issue because route in london in hop 6 then 7&8 missed [10:03] kaz2057: you can setup your raid with any live image you want [10:03] iceroot: i experienced other differences, too [10:03] \join #ror [10:03] i am able to ping any websites and If i try to do apt-get update I am getting the error failed to fetch [10:03] neo_21670: "Don't be confused…" — http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#dvd [10:04] MonkeyDust: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-server like sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [10:04] yes I know, but when I try to install ubuntu server on a partition raid, Ubuntu cannot see this partition .... [10:04] because Ubuntu server not include kpartx package ... === DrCooper is now known as Deuz7 [10:04] I need to include kpartx in the installation cd/distro [10:05] what may be the issue I stopped ufw & iptables [10:05] still same issue [10:06] MonkeyDust: but interesting part about /var, i will check that later === Loqus_ is now known as Loqus [10:06] suhel, reisio: Do I just copy the iso file to a usb stick and plug it in, or unzip the files to a usb stick? [10:06] AofA: you ca nuse an app like unetbootin [10:06] can_use* [10:07] any helps please? [10:07] How to reference the gnome current display [10:07] windows [10:07] harry_: do what? [10:07] harry_: ? [10:07] thanks for the answers :) [10:08] kaz2057: you should be able to set up that stuff with any live system you like, one that has kpartx [10:08] kaz2057: and then come back and install to it [10:08] Means suppose there are 3 windows open on my current workspace , then i want to refrece my gnome.. [10:09] i am able to ping any websites and If i try to do apt-get update I am getting the error failed to fetch, I disabled firewall what may be the issue? [10:09] ok but you can do it with a ubuntu desktop installation, not the server . you know if exist an ubuntu server live distro? [10:09] luckymurali: can you "ping google.com" [10:09] I never see @_@ [10:09] reisio: thank you, I will try that. [10:09] yes [10:09] harry_: you'll have to be more clear [10:09] luckymurali: pastebin the full apt-get error? [10:10] reisio:actually i m facing a strage situation where i run a installer and it apears behind the current window but if i switch between works stations then i m able to see that installation window [10:10] kaz2057: you saying the server install image doesn't have a 'use without installing' mode like the desktop version? [10:10] harry_: between workspaces? [10:10] harry_: what's wrong with that solution? [10:11] if you have a window "Always on Top" it makes new windows come up behind [10:11] at least on my ubuntu [10:12] reisio: it means that my current window has all the properties of current focus window but as a user point of view its hide behind the window....but i want the permenet solution,i dont want to switch between the work station every time [10:12] harry_: if you have a window "Always on Top" it makes new windows come up behind, at least on my ubuntu [10:13] What options do i even have? I NEED a FAST storage medium availible to BOTH windows AND linux. [10:13] ssd? [10:14] any korean speaking here? [10:14] Ben64: I can't raid those -.- [10:14] reisio: I am creating a live usb stick now from iso file. Do I need to change my bios settings to boot from usb? [10:14] ssd is faster than hdd raid [10:14] AofA: only if you do [10:14] Ben64: it's not reliable or redundant [10:15] nor is it very big [10:15] ryannathans: like ntfs on a ssd [10:15] only if I do...? [10:15] ive seen ssd raid setups [10:15] Hi [10:15] dr_willis: eh? [10:15] [12:10] kaz2057: you saying the server install image doesn't have a 'use without installing' mode like the desktop version? ANSWER: it doesn't have ... [10:16] ive seen ssd raid setups.. never used one. [10:16] dr_willis: they are horrid, never raid ssds [10:16] EVER [10:16] I can't wait until 26 April 2012. I am going to back up my files on Ubuntu (and the few that Windows 7 has not deleted ) and run Ubuntu 12.04 LTS as my main OS. [10:16] kaz2057: weird [10:16] Ben64: W: Failed to fetch
I am unable to copy and paste since it is running from remote desktop [10:18] luckymurali: can you browse the internet in firefox or chrome or... whatever you browse in? [10:22] nothing? [10:23] hmm? === cipher is now known as Guest84660 [10:28] i knw i knw but but i m making my own installer using installjammer and its causing problem for me...thats its not working [10:28] Ben64: desktop is not installed === Mud is now known as Guest77881 [10:30] hi [10:30] can anyone help troubleshoot problem with my Ubuntu 11.04? I try to launch VirtualBox, efax-gtk, google earth, skype , all crashes and bring me back to the login screen. [10:30] what is winamp replacement for linux? [10:30] i suspect anything to do with gtk interface from the app crashes [10:31] Wisien: xmms? [10:33] Wisien: lmms [10:33] Wisien: or audacious [10:34] !xmms [10:34] xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious or xmms2 instead. [10:34] Beep Media Player [10:34] Rhythmbox is a pretty good alternative to iTunes [10:35] beep media player [10:35] dozens of players iut there. some have been discontinued [10:35] i used to chat with the developer of that [10:35] nice guy [10:35] audacious can even handle winamp skins, methinks [10:35] i thought beep was dead. :-$ [10:35] !music === root is now known as Guest44428 [10:38] yeah audacious is what you want [10:39] xmms2 is a different type of app, and a pretender [10:39] well ask more at #ubuntu-bots ;) [10:41] Hello. I am running Lucid Lynx on an old Macbook Pro 1,1... the disc drive doesn't work [10:41] I suspect its a driver problem [10:41] does anyone know how I can fix this? [10:42] hi, tomorrow, can i update my system normally? because, in older versions i have broken packages when i have update the system [10:42] TheMiNd: can you boot from a livecd and it works? [10:43] I have no idea [10:43] TheMiNd: be a simple test to rule out hardware failure [10:43] There's no OSX on this, just ubuntu [10:43] This computer is a loaner from the friend [10:43] *from a friend [10:44] siouX_: restart in Recover Mode (grub) en choose Repair [10:44] TheMiNd: CDs are really tedious low capacity versions of USB sticks anyways [10:45] MonkeyDust, what? to update? [10:45] siouX_: to repair the broken packages [10:45] hello [10:46] I need to fix the CD drive if possible for now [10:46] MonkeyDust, ok, so tomorrow i can update with apt-get normally [10:46] i need change the repository, right? [10:46] siouX_: i guess it's dist-upgrade [10:47] i have a translation of empathy in .po format.But don't know how to install it,. plz help me === mint is now known as sukkel [10:48] siouX_, [10:49] i have a translation of empathy in .po format.But don't know how to install it,. plz help me [10:50] hey guys [10:50] i have a quick question [10:50] if i update now from 11.04 to 11.10 beta [10:51] hmm [10:51] can i later update to full version of 11.10? [10:51] reisio: hey, kindly help, tried all [10:51] i think yes. [10:51] i remember earlear [10:51] i updated to beta [10:52] the updates will be just security updates [10:52] but when full came out it didn't shoved me to update to full [10:52] so it [10:52] so it's better to wait for full? [10:52] Hello. Where does brasero store its list of recent projects? How to remove an item from it? === jelmer is now known as Guest82578 [10:52] It's not in .config/brasero [10:53] tVenc: it should be released on 13th, so can't you wait? [10:53] dayana_em: You first need to convert it to a .mo file with msgfmt. Then put it in the right directory. Look under /usr/share/locale/ [10:54] maybe i will and second question is it still not safe to update to gnome3? [10:54] tVenc: gnome3 is not supported in 11.04, but it will be in 11.10 [10:54] Can I install XP on VirtualBox using a CD? [10:55] elliotexe: sure [10:55] that is why i want to go to 11.10 i hate this unity [10:55] I have only done it using an ISO. When it asks for the file I can't get it to work [10:55] vlt: I don't know, but you could try creating and saving a new project, then shortly after, run find . -mmin -2 to see all files changed within the last two minutes. [10:55] but still what is the difference if i update today to 11.10. [10:55] tVenc: i get the feeling there are going to be a lot of upgrade issues so it would likely be better to install arfresh when 11.10 is released [10:55] how can i share a file to a remote location from ubuntu server ? [10:56] elliotexe: you can't get VirtualBox to boot from an ISO? [10:56] rabbi1: ... [10:56] geirha: Looks like there's an sqlite db .local/share/zeitgeist/activity.sqlite where it's stored. [10:56] reisio: I have copied the file to webserver location, how can i access now [10:56] yea i'm thinking about installing fresh 11.10 [10:56] e.g.: i am trying ftp://localhost/foldername/filename [10:56] tVenc: you'd need to update again tomorrow for the stable release [10:57] Just downloading a ISO. [10:57] it will be possible to do that? [10:57] elliotexe: if you want to use a CD, check the box for live CD/DVD [10:57] tVenc: that is the only difference [10:58] rabbi1: ah [10:58] because as i said earlier when i updated to beta when full came out there was no update suggestions [10:58] rabbi1: you would actually need the server connected to a domain or public IP [10:58] rabbi1: better go back to scp [10:58] reisio: but its showing nothing. [10:58] rabbi1: is sshd running? [10:58] tVenc: it is never recommended to upgrade to or from a beta release [10:59] th0r: that shouldn't matter to it working [10:59] Prince [10:59] ok thanks for help [10:59] reisio: i am pretty new to this [10:59] rabbi1: pgrep -l ssh [11:00] When I try to remove an entry from sqlite db .local/share/zeitgeist/activity.sqlite I get "database is locked". How to fic this? [11:00] reisio: in the newest version of virtualbox you can choose an iso file for the virtual cd, but the only way to tell it to use the native drive is to check the liveCD box [11:00] *fix [11:00] reisio: yeah, running [11:00] I did that I also changed it so it would boot from CD first..I am still having problems [11:01] AS A MEMBER [11:01] I get "database is locked" for every command I try to run on .local/share/zeitgeist/activity.sqlite. Even ".databases". [11:01] sudo was invented for a reason, I guess [11:01] rabbi1: k, I don't suppose you and your friend both use an IM client? [11:02] How can I stop Ubuntu asking me whether I want to log out when I clicked on "logout"? [11:04] vlt: try ubuntu-tweak [11:04] reisio: i have no idea what my client is using, and unable to communicate instantly :( so got to give the link for a file and forget it. [11:05] may i speak to mark shuttleworth [11:05] id liek to ask him how it feels to be the first african in space [11:05] and also does he think thats kind of a dick move to be first with him being white and all? [11:06] i kind of thought it was [11:06] zaapiel: please type /j #ubuntu-offtopic [11:07] will adding several ppa s slow the system down? [11:08] ace__: depending on how much and what you install from them [11:08] zaapiel :D [11:08] ace__: An apt-get update will be slower, since it needs to download more package lists, but in general it won't slow the system down. [11:09] ace__: more ppas you use the more likely something could go wrong; ppas are unsupported [11:13] reisio: any other way? [11:17] rabbi1: ah and forget it [11:18] I just created a new ext4 partition, however, I can't make any changes in it from the normal GUI, seems to be read only. I assume I have to sudo, but I have no idea what to type to access that particular partition in the terminal. [11:18] rabbi1: how about a dropbox account, have one of those? [11:18] reisio: thats better :) will share from torrent [11:18] rabbi1: that could work... but could also be problematic [11:18] It has a folder in it, and that folder shows up at "File System" too. So I guess it's just bunched up regardless of what partition it belongs to? [11:19] rabbi1: I pretty awful but simple way would be to put it in a password protected archive (7z a -mx=0 -p foo.7z originalfile) and upload to a file sharing site: http://multiupload.com/ [11:19] how do I refer to a specific partition as a path, is what I'm asking, I guess. [11:19] rabbi1: then give your client the file sharing link [11:19] reisio: that's ok, doesn't matter, will try to send through torrent, i have already uploaded to megashare.com [11:19] well megashare should suffice [11:20] megashare.com gives you password protected download, which i have already done :) [11:20] i guess i use the "mount" command? [11:20] hello, anyone here able to help me troubleshoot my new install of ubuntu? [11:20] rabbi1: should suffice [11:20] is this freenode? [11:20] ndrj: to do what? [11:21] toshiba: look at your window's title bar === david_ is now known as psycose [11:21] reisio: thanks a lot [11:21] reisio: I just made a new partition, ext4, and I wish to access it. I think Ubuntu mounted it automatically, but I can't write to it. [11:21] ndrj: how do you know you can't write to it [11:21] thanks [11:22] reisio: I opened it in the GUI and tried to add a folder to it, but it was greyed out :( [11:22] reisio: but then again, it should show up as a folder in "/" too, right? [11:22] any reason why ubuntu 10.04 still has dovecot 1.2.9 intead of the 2.x version ? [11:22] ndrj: what does 'mount' say about it? [11:23] reisio: what is the command to list all partitions, again? so I can check which is which, first. [11:23] hi, i want to run a script every 30 minutes in ubuntu desktop, the script opens browser windows (automated tests) so i don't think it can run through cron?

[11:27] ndrj: yes, just mkdir /somethingbetter and add a line to /etc/fstab [11:27] ndrj: why do you want it under /? [11:28] auronandace: dunno, where do you suggest i put it? [11:28] /mnt/ is tradition [11:28] aha [11:28] ndrj: either /media or /mnt/ [11:28] but /media/ works just as well [11:28] ok [11:28] ndrj: so /media/somethingbetter [11:28] etc/fstab is a config ifle? [11:28] file* [11:28] it is indeed [11:28] getting the hang of this [11:28] x) [11:29] if you use e2label to give it a meaningful label, it's possible the system will use it instead of the UUID [11:29] reisio: ah, duh. i left label out when I made it... [11:29] sudo e2label /dev/whatever fancynamehere [11:30] ndrj: well I'm not sure it'll use it, but if it's smart it will [11:30] otherwise it's back to /etc/fstab [11:30] reisio: is that something i need to install? [11:30] http://666kb.com/i/bxqa3uy26lkhpx1ua.png [11:30] ndrj: you probably already have e2label [11:30] ndrj: you definitely already have /etc/fstab :) [11:30] where could i register please? [11:31] toshiba: /msg nickserv help register [11:31] reisio: yeah i did, so "sudo e2label sda3 blabl" ? [11:31] my xterms have redraw error, what could that be [11:31] toshiba: ask in #freenode [11:31] toshiba: /msg nickserv help identify [11:31] (see 666kb url) [11:31] +s [11:31] ndrj: probably sudo e2label /dev/sda3 blah, yes [11:32] thanks thanks [11:32] ndrj: and I don't know if the auto mount system will bother remounting it without you rebooting or telling it to (mount -o remount ?) [11:33] reisio: was just about to ask, as it didnt change. maybe I have to remount it? [11:33] flummy: this normally happens if you resize the terminal while a curses prog is running; pressing ctl+l would force redraw [11:33] ndrj: yeah I don't see why they'd bother having it check if you change label and remount it :p could cause problems [11:34] reisio: but a restart should do it? feels safer than me fiddling with mount or fstab [11:34] gnome cron [11:34] phlak_user: i need to redraw all the time, xterms used to run for months without any glitches, and it has never been resized [11:34] ndrj: if it's goingi to work at all, yes [11:35] phlak_user: happens with ls as well [11:35] reisio: i'll try, if not, i'll explore the beauty of fstab [11:35] Can anyone recommend a GUI video recording program? All I can find is Cheese, and it just locks up. [11:35] brb [11:35] phlak_user: but thanks, was just trying to find out if anyone knows this problem :) [11:35] flummy: did you set non-standard geometry of xterm somewhere? [11:36] Travis-42: for your webcam? [11:36] phlak_user: don't think so... i forgot the location/name of the X11 resource file though [11:36] reisio, yep [11:36] maybe /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm [11:36] Travis-42, FFMPEG has a front-end GUI called Winff (should be in the Repos.) but I'm not sure it records as I don't use it. [11:36] Travis-42: what is it you want the GUI to do? [11:37] Sidewinder1: just for format conversion [11:37] OIC [11:37] what time GMT will 11.10 be released? [11:37] reisio, watch the video while it's being recorded, quickly play back to see that everything went right, on the fly configure things like contrast, etc., all the things that webcam video recording GUIs on Mac and Windows make much easier [11:38] phlak_user: app-defaults/XTerm seems to be unmaimed :) [11:38] no XTerm~ backup file around :) [11:38] Sidewinder1, I'll check it out [11:38] Travis-42: WinFF is just for format conversion [11:39] flummy: you could poke inside Edit->Profile Preferences in the Xterm menu [11:40] phlak_user: hm? i am talking about /usr/bin/xterm, i don't know of a Edit function in the xterm menus reached via Ctrl+leftclick/ rightclick :) [11:40] flummy: oh ok; i was imagining the GNome Terminal :) [11:41] phlak_user: no i can't stand that one :) [11:41] Travis-42: should probably fix your Cheese, or switch to using ${media player of choice} for playback and ffmpeg for post-processing [11:41] reisio, yea, I'll see if I can find out why Cheese locks up since it seems to be the only linux tool [11:42] thanks [11:43] phlak_user: i will probably start by turning compiz visual effects off, right? [11:43] #android [11:43] is there a simple way to turn compiz visual effects off without unchecking 20 checkboxes? [11:44] reisio: yeah, it worked. [11:44] ndrj: good times [11:44] flummy: sure; or try starting xterm with different -geometry values [11:44] phlak_user: i think it's not the geometry [11:44] phlak_user: happened to other xterms with other geometrys as well [11:44] reisio: what the hell is this "lost+found" folder in it, though? :D [11:44] its probably a redraw problem [11:44] happens only in xterm tough [11:44] ndrj: its similar to that cupboard you had at school :) [11:45] ndrj: http://tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy.html#lostfound [11:45] flummy: sure [11:45] ndrj: if it's on an otherwise empty new partition you can just rm it [11:45] probably some 16 year old gnome progammer was not aware of the full 1980 X11 spec used by the not so young xterm :) [11:45] reisio: it is. so I'll do that [11:45] and gnome programmes are probably all using gnome-terminal [11:45] hehe [11:46] Travis-42: you could try vlc too (vlc can use my in-built camera) [11:46] reisio: however, I can't seem to write to it, from the GUI. do I have to change permissions? [11:46] ndrj: sudo chown youruser:youruser /media/fooowoink might suffice [11:47] reisio: haha i'll try :) [11:47] hello [11:48] hi [11:48] i have a problem with linux 3.0.4 [11:48] i installed it on my ubuntu 10.10 [11:48] reisio: sure did [11:48] and now gdm3 crashes at startup [11:48] reisio: you're the man :P [11:48] skipr: that is not supported [11:48] wauronandace what is not supported? [11:49] Suddenly my server has stopped booting, it just sits with a flashing cursor waiting to boot. It's an EFI machine, and the disk seems to be GPT, but I don't know what's wrong: http://paste.ubuntu.com/706649/ Can anyone help? [11:49] skipr: 3.0.4 on 10.10 (and gnome3) [11:49] auronandace: interesting, why not? [11:49] everyone would be better off with 3.0.4 and 10.10 [11:49] because 11.04 and newer use unity and gnome3 [11:50] will paths in a config file allow for spaces? [11:50] both of which suck a major woody [11:50] i think 11.04 has gnome 2 [11:50] yea but unity [11:50] skipr: you can use gnome2 on 11.04 [11:50] as in "/media/blabla/downloaded torrents/"? [11:50] yes [11:50] skipr: very easy to remove [11:50] but i also want to use latest kernel [11:50] or do I have to use something like %20 [11:50] :P [11:50] should i get a different login manager? [11:50] skipr: maybe you need to turn on the new lie-about-kernel-version feature [11:51] so that the 3. series kernels pretends to be 2.6 [11:51] ah nvm, ill just avoid spaces in folder names [11:51] flummy nah [11:51] oh [11:51] that thing [11:51] i'll try that when im back home [11:51] thanks guys [11:51] see ya [11:53] auronandace: what is the technical reason for gnome2 not supporting 3 series kernels? [11:53] reisio: I assume that, if I give a user permission to a folder, it gives permission to all subfolders of that folder as well? [11:53] flummy: i never said that [11:53] flummy: where did you read that ? [11:54] auronandace, I'll try vlc too, thanks [11:54] auronandace: oh, what did you say then? :)= [11:54] reisi: you reisio? :P [11:54] flummy: 10.10 doesn't support gnome3 or the linux 3 kernel [11:54] Hello, I've written a little shellScript i want to run while bootup. So I made a line to rc.local. The script asks for user input, but the boot process just continues, so i can't write anything. What can I do to stop boot while script is running? [11:54] ndrj: nope, chuck testa [11:55] hello, im having tough timer mapping samba server share on mine ubuntu machine via cifs, cant anyone check this error http://wklej.org/id/606686/ [11:55] auronandace: and what is the technical reason for 10.10 not supporting kernels with 3-series version numbering? [11:55] excuse my inquisitive style [11:55] flummy: 10.10 is supporting both, but we dont support it here [11:55] sajimon: seems like a very good reason -> NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE [11:55] flummy: you can install gnome3 and linux 3.0 on 10.10 [11:55] well you should say that then [11:55] flummy: there is nothing technical stopping you from installing kernel 3 on 10.10, it just isn't supported by #ubuntu [11:55] fair enough [11:56] but you should put it that way :) [11:56] sajimon: just like phlak_user said; authentication (or perhaps authorization) error [11:56] phlak_user: im sure password is okay, in fact its working on another linux machine [11:57] Hello, I've written a little shellScript i want to run while bootup. So I made a line to rc.local. The script asks for user input, but the boot process just continues, so i can't write anything. What can I do to stop boot while script is running? [11:57] sajimon: if you have smbclient, you could run that and check [11:57] !repeat| spectusSN [11:57] spectusSN: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [11:58] sajimon: could it be that you cannot have two connections with the same authentication? (just guessing) [11:58] Hi, I have a problem with wmii. "wmiir read /" prints a lot of binary garbage, including my user name, interleaved with what I would it expect to print. Does anyone have a guess what's going wrong? [11:58] spectusGN: the easy way would be to replace upstart with the conventional system V init scripts, but there are probably sveral (deprecated or current) tools to prompt for user input in the upstart boot process [11:59] several [11:59] Does anyone know how to get GRUB working with a GPT partition on a UEFI machine? [12:02] hi! [12:02] here i was... about to answer jamey-uk [12:02] I need help, I really don't understand how to use PPA [12:02] and he just leaves... lol [12:02] I've built a kernel for desktop use [12:03] and i wanna upload my .deb packages [12:03] on a PPA [12:03] I read wiki and tutorial but I didn't understad :( [12:03] !enter | n0ti0nis [12:03] n0ti0nis: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [12:04] How can I upload my .deb packages on my PPA? I've built a kernel for desktop use [12:04] n0ti0nis: https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA [12:05] spectusGN: one way could be to put the script inside the /etc/rcS.d directory (you can read the README file there for details) [12:05] hello. if i installed xfce desktop environment, do i still have grub2 as the boot loader? [12:05] comitt: desktop environments are independent of the underlying bootloader, so most likely yes, you still do [12:05] comitt: sure [12:05] comitt: the desktop has nothing to do with the grub-package [12:06] comitt: the DE is like the upholstery in your car and grub2 is like your starter motor [12:06] gksu isnt working in xfce, should i just use su/sudo? i tried to tuse the command gksu gedit /etc/default/grub, but nothing shakes [12:06] holtgrew_: wmii is outside the scope of support this channel can provide, i suggest the wmii forum, mailing list, etc... [12:06] comitt: gksudo [12:07] thanks [12:07] Commander1024: because gedit is not installed on kubuntu¿ [12:07] comitt: gk might not work at all since its dependent on the gtk+ environment which may or may not be present in your system [12:07] i mean xubuntu/xfce [12:07] gksudo worked :) [12:07] that was for comitt :/ [12:08] i see ;-) [12:08] to update grub2 under xubuntu, its gksudo update-grub2, right? just making sure :) [12:10] comitt: after editing /etc/default/grub [12:10] how can i specify a name for a symbolic link in the same line i use to create it? [12:10] yes indeed phlak_user [12:11] hexacode: ln -s /path/to/file /name/of/symlink [12:11] thanks [12:11] hexacode: yw [12:12] any idea why xubuntu is updating today like 50 updates? just curious [12:13] can I use screen to detach and make a terminal window of its own? [12:13] ndrj: you can create many new screens by pressing ctl+a+c [12:14] ndrj: what? [12:14] phlak_user apparently speaks confusing, well done mate ;) [12:14] ndrj: if you meant the *screen* package [12:14] exit [12:14] no idea, im an utter linux noob [12:14] ejv: tx :) [12:14] :D [12:14] but i think s [12:14] o [12:15] "one screen session should be enough for anyone..." :D [12:15] right now I can switch between my "screen" and my normal terminal with ctrl-D and then screen -r [12:15] ejv: unless you are on a remote session [12:15] but I'd like to see both at the same time, and just alt-tab between them? :P [12:15] was a play on the infamous 640K ram bill gates joke :p [12:16] ndrj: screen supports creation and switching betweenmultiple sessions [12:16] ndrj: not sure what it is you want to achieve [12:16] haha [12:16] ndrj: just press ctrl+a+c like phlak_user said [12:16] flummy nothing happened, probably because im "inside" rtorrent, already, though? [12:16] ndrj: yes you can have them both in their own 'tiles', ctrl + a + c , then to move, ctrl + a + n, to move backward ctrl + a + backspace [12:17] alright [12:17] ndrj: first press ctrl a, then release ctrl a, then press c [12:17] ahaaa [12:17] ndrj: and ctl+a+0, ctl+a+1 etc to switch between them [12:17] ndrj: now type "man screen" without the "" [12:17] and hit enter [12:18] flummy: you the "man" :) [12:18] i prefer cycling with [N] and [BCKSP], easier than reaching for number row [12:18] :) === Fred_ is now known as Guest51411 [12:19] ok, now i can switch between them [12:19] ndrj: now type "man screen" without the "" [12:19] and hit enter [12:19] flummy: yeah i did, wall of text crit me for 500k damage [12:20] well noone said unix was for wow gamers [12:20] just saying =) [12:20] don't be afraid, it's only text [12:21] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFUlAQZB9Ng [12:21] hi [12:21] hi [12:21] anwyay, what i asked was...since im running this fancy graphical userface and not only a bash prompt thingie, if I could have two terminal windows side by side, on my screen? [12:21] hi [12:21] err, interface* [12:21] lol userface :D [12:22] is it possible to change disk name by command line ? for example i want to change sdb disk to sdc possible ? [12:22] ndrj: just spawn two terminal windows and arrange them side-by-side [12:22] ndrj: you mean like that: http://koffein.org/b/desktop.jpg (screenshot from 1998) [12:23] iuytfr: volume label or disk nomenclature? [12:23] phlak_user: I guess i got confused by...well, when I clicked terminal again it just brought me to my first windows, so I assumed there's only support for 1 at a time.. :D [12:23] window* [12:23] ndrj: 'terminator' might interest you. [12:23] ndrj: it probably spawned it over the old one; just move it to the side [12:26] phlak_user: this might sound stupid, but is it possible to start a new terminal window by typing in the first terminal window? :D [12:26] no remember [12:26] ndrj: sure [12:26] Myrtti: what's the command? cause terminal didnt work :P [12:26] ndrj: yes, but the second one also gets destroyed if you close the first one [12:27] i simply want to umount sdb and mount it on sdc [12:27] ndrj: gnome-terminal& depending on what you are running [12:27] ndrj: gnome-terminal [12:27] phlak_user: gah, i see. any way around this? [12:27] Myrtti: thanks [12:27] iuytfr: you don't mount anything in /dev/ [12:27] ndrj: oh i stand corrected; it actually stays on [12:27] iuytfr: and why care about the device name? Use UUID or LABEL instead of you want it to be reliable [12:28] iuytfr: the sdb,sdc identifiers are allocated by the system [12:28] you should not try to change them [12:28] as they IDENTIFY the disk in question [12:28] phlak_user: awesome, finally I can have rtorrent in a window of its own [12:28] ndrj: Or make a terminal-starting daemon that launches at startup, and you just need to send it a signal to open up a terminal [12:28] ndrj: ok [12:29] MAREK_BENC_NetB: i've heard about this daemon thing, I'd have to read about it though [12:29] May i ask? Is ubuntu a good choice for a Netbook OS? (Currently, I'm running Debian Testing on it, and i want something fresh and fancy) [12:29] iuytfr: do you copy? [12:30] MAREK_BENC_NetB: works just fine, might not want to run gnome/unity though [12:30] MAREK_BENC_NetB: ive been running ubuntu on my eepc's since the 701 [12:30] MAREK_BENC_NetB: try it with a live-cd but normally ubuntu is one of your best choices for newer systems [12:30] my friend sayd he ran rtorrent with a daemon thingie, something about "rtorrent -d" [12:30] MAREK_BENC_NetB: im now on a eeepc 1500 with unity [12:31] Cause debian with Xfce mixed up just for my taste is beggining to boar me. [12:31] didn't really understand what it did, though [12:31] MAREK_BENC_NetB: the unity UI works really well on netbooks/small-screen laptops.. better than on larger screens imo [12:31] MAREK_BENC_NetB: there are light weight alternatives for systems with less than 4GB of ram [12:31] MAREK_BENC_NetB: i wouldn't use ubuntu on 2GB ram [12:31] It's 1G [12:31] flummy: why? [12:31] i've used ubuntu on 1GB of RAM perfectly well [12:31] well use a lightweight derivate then [12:31] flummy: i havent had an issue (but i could not be a typical user) [12:31] also on an eee pc [12:32] flummy: you want to say 2gb ram is not enough for ubuntu? (unity or gnome2) [12:32] wondering if kubuntu would be better [12:32] i use ubuntu on 1gb ram [12:32] iceroot: because lightweight alternatives provide about 5 times the performance if the base system consumes less than 105% of available RAM [12:32] flummy: lubuntu [12:32] iceroot: it just does not perform well [12:32] I once used UNR on this netbook, but it sucked badly compared to normal desktop ubuntu of that time. [12:32] iceroot: for example, yes [12:33] flummy: also please read http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ [12:33] uh ok, when i ran "sudo gnome-terminal" it opened as the user root. this is not recommended, I guess? [12:33] xD [12:33] ndrj: its not recommend [12:33] iceroot: i'm a computer scientist and have advanced degrees in software engineering and soon computer systems engineering, thank you very much [12:34] MAREK_BENC_NetB: I prefer a tiler on netbooks. More efficient in regards to screen space, and most importantly, much easier to controll by keyboard, which is somewhat important since the pads on most netbooks are rather crappy [12:34] Hi! [12:34] flummy: then its sad that you dont know the link i have posted :( [12:35] flummy: you should know better than to post fud then [12:35] it is just a measured fact [12:35] How I make Ubuntu font family display Vietnamese character correctly? [12:35] lubuntu/LXDE should be much better for a 1GiB system [12:36] flummy: not that you can't run openbox on ubuntu either etc... [12:36] n2i: have you got the Vietnamese fonts installed? [12:36] MrElendig: what should that have to do with VRAM usage? [12:37] hi, I deleted some files from an usb stick. Is there a way to recover them? I couldn't find them in the local trash [12:37] MrElendig: My Debian Testing XFce Setup is very clean, and gives me a lot of space to work with. One of the main reasons i gone to to Debian is that with UNR, i had a thick ugly bar on the left side of my screen. I hope by this tyme they removed that ugly thick bar. [12:37] faLUCE: not really [12:37] phlak_user: Vietnamese font? Did you mean fonts support Vietnamese char? [12:37] !recover | faLUCE [12:37] faLUCE: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [12:37] flummy: only difference betwen lubuntu and ubuntu is the desktop enviroment and default services run etc [12:37] faLUCE: but normally its not possible [12:38] MrElendig: i think the relevant claimed difference is in VRAM usage? [12:38] Hiyas all [12:38] but if its still using less then 1 gb in both cases, it wouldnt make much of a difference would it [12:38] Some font such as: Droid or Linux Biolinum is fully display Vietnamese chars but Ubuntu font doesnot [12:38] because it wont page to hd until > 1gb [12:39] TehDGM: wrong. [12:39] TehDGM: caching/paging determine the system's speed [12:39] no ram = no caching [12:39] flummy, sure that the issue isn't with graphics performance, etc? i'd say that's the main issue on laptops which usually use integrated (intel integrated drivers are somewhat lacking in my experience on linux) [12:39] hello i need some hel [12:39] *help [12:39] dotty: yes.

The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop. [12:52] Hello! [12:52] i need to convet avi video to 3gp which software can do that? [12:52] handbrake [12:52] Isumi: well but you could tell that from the cpu consumption :) [12:52] phlak_user: no, I dont! I love Ubuntu font family and set it as default application font. I dont wanna change my GUI language. [12:52] n2i: ok so what is it you want then? [12:53] Have I to edit something in /etc/font.conf? [12:53] I have some backtrace, but no idea what to do with it... [12:53] Isumi: without a specific suspection about the cause - just kill it and restart it [12:53] here is the backtrace : http://pastebin.com/j6nf4PQ1 [12:54] but it's happening more and more [12:54] not good [12:54] i'd like to fix it if possible... [12:54] did you try a different OS installation or usb stick? [12:55] only have ubuntu now [12:55] how can i remove the gtk tab widget thing in the bottom right on each window? [12:55] Isumi: step 1 would be to chance either the complete hardware or the complete OS [12:55] to divide the problem [12:55] s/chance/change === irvie is now known as irv [12:56] or start with a (very) different graphics adapter [12:57] <_melvin_> HI. on 11.10 / gnome3 the gnome-terminal always show the menubar. [12:58] Isumi: our you could move system hard disk and graphics adapter to another hardware [12:58] so I wanted to retain a folder's contents with all ownership/group/permissions intact, so I copied everything to my external using sudo cp -p -R. When I did this command back to the other server, it came over as owned by me:me with 700 perms instead of root:root with 755. What did I do wrong? [12:58] ... is there no way to at least identify the problem from the logs/ etc? [12:58] not for me [12:58] does someone else have an idea then? [12:59] i mentioned three quick steps for identification [12:59] exit [12:59] when we get 11.10? [12:59] yeah, "buy a new laptop, tehre won't be a problem" [12:59] _melvin_: #ubuntu+1 [12:59] i don't see how that's identification [12:59] Isumi: you don't have access to another hardware? [13:00] no friends/colleagues? [13:00] i am on another computer right now, how does that help? [13:00] phlak_user: Sorry for my poor English. Thanks for help! [13:00] Isumi: well good luck then [13:00] i don't have any problem on this one, great. so ? === openbees is now known as VIKAS_SRIVASTAVA [13:00] i can't open a laptop and unplug the graphic card, obviously. [13:01] (i can open my thinkpad and unplug its graphics adapter) [13:01] well, for one thing, that usually voids the guarantee. [13:01] nope [13:01] flummy: you can`t it is integrated [13:01] flummy: please stop this useless support [13:01] flummy: never found my graphics card in my thinkpad [13:02] fritsch: i guess it depends on the thinkpad :) [13:02] iceroot: i'm happy to stop it and observe isumis progress [13:02] flummy: i do not know a thinkpad, where you can just unplug the graphics module [13:02] i do [13:04] ?? [13:04] I'm having trouble because a lot of packages are missing and apt-get doesn't find any apache packages.. What is wrong? I didn't mess with sources.list really except maybe uncomment some more things so that it finds stuff. [13:05] what do you mean a lot of packages are missing === dtigue_away is now known as dtigue === GNUdog|office is now known as GNUdog|office|aw [13:05] Where can one find the final image of 11.10, I know one can usually find them on the ftp the day before [13:05] I try to install other packages and it says it doesn't find them [13:06] K3rmit: did you compare your package sources to those of a working system? [13:06] K3rmit: pastebin your sources.list please [13:06] flummy I mean it was a fresh ubuntu install [13:06] K3rmit: pastebin your sources.list and pastebin the results of a sudo apt-get update [13:06] K3rmit: did you specify a http proxy at any point? [13:07] no [13:07] xD [13:07] ok I'll come back later, I have to boot up the system. [13:07] AaronMT: Its not done yet. Feel free to await the release in #ubuntu-release-party or get help in #ubuntu+1 [13:08] Wow :) [13:09] what is the clean way to stop the server X from console? [13:10] i thought "gdm stop" would do the trick, but visibly nto [13:10] pkill X? [13:10] Isumi: it is in a faulty state [13:10] Hi [13:10] sudo service gdm stop [13:10] Isumi: you need to order the operating system to terminate it [13:11] ok a kill -9 works [13:11] I have installed "php5-auth-pam" to use pam authetification out of php [13:11] But this only works with root rights and the lighttpd server should not run as rott [13:11] Kill the pid [13:11] Isumi, kill -9? [13:11] :P [13:11] has someone an idea for me how to fix this? [13:12] why using that? :) [13:12] yogg: you can use suexec from apache [13:13] hi - quick question: is it possible to reorder the entries in the "Open With" context menu, or are they forced to alphabetic order? If it can be changed, how do I do it? [13:14] wide_awake: gconf-editor should have the settings; let me check [13:14] i would like to setup an intranet behind my gateway NAT... if I lock down port 80, will outgoing requests still reach there destination? [13:14] phlak_user: so i should start this script with root rights? this sounds realy ugly ^^ [13:15] libScout_: what do you mean by "set up an interanet", another NAT router? [13:15] -e [13:15] libScout_: yes, if you will be locking down incoming requests on port 80 [13:16] . [13:16] flummy: basically I have a couple of PHP scripts for simplifying tasks for a couple "non-techs" for a headless server and i want everyone behind the gateway NAT to see port 80 but no one outside the NAT can access the web server [13:16] yogg: dude, if you have a script that needs to be run as root; im showing you how it could be done [13:18] phlak_user: is this achievable with ufw? [13:18] libScout_: so kill port 80 on the router [13:18] libScout_: is the webserver behind your router? [13:19] phlak_user, where would I find the open-with list in gconf-editor? [13:19] dork: yes [13:19] libScout_: can you just bind a local IP to one of the interfaces on the web server? [13:19] I've looked just about everywhere and google doesn't even know... I've installed ubuntu server 10.04 LTS with just the virtualization option and I cannot figure out how the default bridge is starting up or how to edit it. Any ideas? [13:19] dork: does it matter that i am forwarding port 22 to the same cpu that contains the web server? [13:20] libScout_: no, if you filter port 80 on the router it will have no impact on port 22 unless you make it [13:20] phlak_user: i don't think it must be run as root. As user i can also change to another account with "su - otheruser" without root rights. If i find the right pam.d rules it should also work as www-data. But maybe Iam on the wrong way [13:20] dork: yeah... i didnt think of that [13:20] wide_awake: ok heres another way -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=823835 [13:20] dork: ok... thanks for the help [13:20] np [13:20] libScout_: yes [13:21] phlak_user, reading. thanks [13:21] drahst: brctl [13:22] how do I change the address? [13:22] !info bridge-utils [13:22] bridge-utils (source: bridge-utils): Utilities for configuring the Linux Ethernet bridge. In component main, is optional. Version 1.4-5ubuntu2 (natty), package size 31 kB, installed size 200 kB [13:22] I can't even figure out how it is starting up... there's no config, but dnsmasq looks like it's firing up [13:23] is there an easy way to switch to the vesa driver in ubuntu? [13:24] hmm... component main? [13:24] Isumi: maybe change /etc/X11/xorg.conf, Section "Device", Driver to "vesa", but i do not know [13:24] phlak_user, not quite what I'm looking for - I want to reorder the list, not add/remove entries. I want GVim to always be first in the list, followed by all the other choices [13:24] Isumi: you can blacklist drivers, i believe there is a boot option [13:24] I'm in just regular old cli... [13:24] I suspect it's just sorting them by name :-/ [13:24] no xorg/x11 installed [13:25] can anyone tell me when Ubuntu 12.04 going to be out? [13:25] drahst: man brctl should give you some clues [13:25] sgs2_usr: probably some time in 1012 [13:25] tomorrow [13:25] hi all, I compiled a version of linux kernel (taken from git repo), I have no .changes file, how can i upload it to my PPA without that file? I didn't find a complete wiki about that [13:25] fluido: 1012? [13:25] haha thats a long time ago [13:25] drahst: if the package isnt installed, typing sudo apt-get install bridge-utils would take care of that [13:25] s/1012/2012/ [13:25] sgs2_usr: April 2012 [13:25] flummy: lol [13:26] thx guys [13:26] np === dougsko_ is now known as dougsko [13:27] I've got bridge-utils installed... just not sure how to edit the bridge... didn't see an option in brctl [13:30] drahst: sudo brctl help will show you all options like add bridge, del bridge, add interface to bridge etc etc [13:30] animations arent working in compiz , can anybody suggest what's wrong with it? [13:32] sgs2_usr: if you look at the version number and think about it, you can work it out easily [13:32] Hi! Just got an question; I have sometimes 'freezes' with gnome-shell, I have an Intel HD (1gen), anyone know a possible solution? [13:32] BetaArk: which release are you using? [13:32] Ubuntu 11.04 [13:32] !info gnome-shell [13:32] Package gnome-shell does not exist in natty [13:33] !gnome3 [13:33] Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and cannot be downgraded safely. [13:33] BetaArk: how did you get it, its not in the repos.... === Aaron is now known as Gale0n [13:33] BetaArk: if you installed Gnome3 via the PPA, you will get issues. You are supported in #gnome not here [13:33] PPA [13:33] he probably just does not know that the irc channel #ubuntu does not want to provide support for gnome3 [13:33] BetaArk: then its not supported here [13:33] Hi [13:34] BetaArk: If you want to use Gnome Shell, Fedora is probably the distribution for you [13:34] I wanna install Graphics Card ATI Radeon X1950 Pro, but I'm having a problem :/ [13:34] Gale0n: What problem [13:34] Just won't install [13:34] Oke, np. I also have this issue with Unity/compiz sometimes. It just 'hanging', I have a Intel HD, read some topics; see that some users have the same issue? [13:35] I still lag on my PC [13:35] yorx39: Thanks, running Arch+Ubuntu at the moment. :) [13:35] Gale0n: Did you use the restrickted driver manager [13:35] GirlyGirl: can I pm you please [13:35] ActionParsnip: ok [13:36] yorx39: Tried Fedora, but it still isnt that stable as Ubuntu. :) [13:36] BetaArk: With Intel cards it can be worth upgrading to a newer kernel than Ubuntu 11.04 provides [13:36] Though worth reading the bugzilla first [13:36] yorx39: I have the latest kernel running (PPA) [13:37] Guys... why have I suddenly lost gnome-appearance-properties and gnome-font-viewer? [13:37] GirlyGirl: I dunno how ? [13:37] which software converts videos and mp3s in ubuntu? [13:37] stephni: mencoder can [13:37] yorx39: I have hybrid (optimus) by the way.. really sucks :( [13:37] stephni: Sound Converter [13:37] I dunno for video [13:37] Could that be an issue? [13:37] markskilbeck: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc [13:37] Can I create an Ubuntu appliance and distribute that? [13:38] I like work with ubuntu 9.04, but don't any repo for update that, any idea? [13:38] systemclient: If you say it's based on Ubuntu [13:38] Gale0n: Search "unity" dash for restricted [13:38] stephni: ffmpeg -i file.avi -f mp3 file.mp3 [13:38] Gale0n: I would say "this is a Ubuntu box I made for our computer science class" [13:38] is there any l33t ubuntu user [13:39] the-light: jaunty is EOL, there is no more support for it in any way, shape or form [13:39] systemclient: And ? [13:39] Gale0n: is that legal? [13:39] Yes [13:39] ActionParsnip: natty [13:39] GirlyGirl: Thnx [13:39] Where? [13:39] Gale0n: okay, so no legal trap or so? [13:39] ActionParsnip: oh, tnx [13:39] systemclient: Just say it's Ubuntu [13:40] Gale0n: You're welcome [13:40] Gale0n: can I read up on this "Say itis Ubuntu" thing? [13:40] ActionParsnip: for some reason gnome-control-center was uninstalled... [13:40] systemclient: ? [13:40] hi, alsaplay -l lists the sound card, but in pulseaudio i can see the dummy interface only. any hints? [13:40] Gale0n: how do you know I have to say that it is Ubuntu? [13:40] Just say that you made it based on Ubuntu [13:40] markskilbeck: strange, can you reinstall it? [13:40] aplay foo.wav plays the wav file successfully [13:41] GirlyGirl: Where do I search ? [13:41] Yep. Reinstalled and everything's working as expected. Not sure how it came to be uninstalled, though. [13:41] Gale0n: Press the windows key [13:41] I'll attribute it to cosmis radiation. [13:41] Gale0n: There should be a search box in the dash shown [13:41] GirlyGirl: Yes [13:41] But [13:42] I search, and only "Launcher and Menus" comes up [13:42] Gale0n: ALT +F2 then type "jockey" [13:42] Then ? [13:43] hi everyone, is there any way to tell how much load processes are using, to see whats using so much load? [13:43] Defusal: run: top [13:43] the strange thing is that it's always the google doodle that crash my computer. [13:44] Isumi: use www.google.com/ig and it won't load [13:44] ActionParsnip, top shows the overall cpu load, and cpu usage percentages, but *not* the load per process. [13:44] Defusal: System > Administration > System Monitor if you want a graphical way [13:44] GirlyGirl: ? [13:44] What do I do now ? [13:44] thx ActionParsnip [13:44] anyone from macedonia ? [13:45] Defusal: it does if you look in the bottom section [13:45] kaj si dikiz [13:45] eve emile :D [13:45] Defusal: press c in top and it'll list by cpu% [13:45] bastidrazor, this is a server [13:45] kaj si ti [13:45] so imame sega? [13:45] makedonski [13:45] ActionParsnip and bastidrazor, i am not interested in cpu pecentage, i need to see the *load* per process [13:45] a posele znajsh ? [13:46] ne [13:46] !pl [13:46] Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. [13:46] Defusal: %CPU is the load....no? [13:46] kaj si antonia [13:46] ActionParsnip: No. [13:46] CPU Percentage != CPU Load [13:47] Defusal: how is it different. If the cpu is 50% in use then it is loaded by 50% surely [13:47] canale italiano? how search it? [13:47] Hi, could someone tell me how to connect to a server via ssh. I have the IP, port, username and password. I used to use Mac Coda to sign in. I can't work out what to do to connect via terminal [13:47] !it | antonio_ [13:47] antonio_: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [13:47] my cpu usage percentage is low, the load is however very high, and i need to find out why exactly [13:48] има некој од Македонија ? [13:48] VonLipwig: you can use: ssh -X -C username@servername -p PORTNUM [13:48] ActionParsnip, percentage is the overall usage, load is how much processes are asking to use the CPU at exactly the same time.. i dont have time to teach you details, research it yourself [13:49] Defusal: will do [13:49] will [13:49] ActionParsnip thanks [13:49] ei [13:49] Defusal: which kernel are you using? in Lucid with 2.6.32-34 my load when way up. i went back to -33 and all is well. why i don't know. [13:49] 689 [13:49] VonLipwig: the -X enables X forwarding, the -C enables compression (little extra treats) [13:49] ActionParsnip: do you use compiz? [13:50] begine [13:50] yes [13:50] g0rs: rarely [13:50] kazhi [13:50] tuka si [13:50] da [13:50] dad [13:50] da [13:50] da [13:50] jas: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:50] more budala kolku si [13:50] unkonw english [13:50] ActionParsnip, you can have a very low percentage, but if processes need to use more of the processor at the same time than there is processing power, it will be overloaded and can cause issues that go as far as your system clock falling behind, since there isnt enough time to process what is requested at that given point in time [13:50] !ru | west [13:51] west: Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. [13:51] what ? [13:51] whilst eavesdropping on the topic, does anyone run projects in BOINC? [13:51] no [13:51] !ot [13:51] #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! [13:51] Defusal: sorely a high load will use more CPU percentage though [13:51] gumno [13:51] edno [13:51] emile e budala [13:51] it shows stressed cores, but no process taking up CPU time [13:52] the load avg is the number of processes/threads queued. [13:52] Defusal: ahhh, queue length. That makes it clear [13:52] a load average of 2 in a 4 core cpu is not overloaded, but an load average of 2 on a 1 core machine is bad [13:53] the load average is the average number of provesses/threads in the runnable queue in a specific timeframe [13:53] why is it when I run sudo rsync -a, it does NOT (repeat- NOT) retain my permissions or ownership of files I move to my external via the rsync command? [13:53] bastidrazor, 2.6.32-29-server, the load is high at certain times, and low at others, i need to find out why, so i can report an issue to my hosting provider if it is not a processes fault [13:53] and it does not take Input/Output (Hard Disk Access) load into consideration [13:53] ActionParsnip, yeah [13:53] Defusal: got it :) [13:54] jason_: check the man pages, more specifically the -p option [13:54] Olleh, my load is anywhere from 0.7 to over 3 on a 2 core server [13:54] Hello ? [13:54] Gale0n: Sorry wasn't there [13:54] Lol NP [13:54] So [13:54] with nothing using extra load [13:54] What do I do now ? [13:54] that i can tell [13:54] Defusal: then your machine goes from ok, to overloaded. anything can cause it, even slow IO [13:54] so i need a way to measure load per process... [13:54] Gale0n: What do you see now after launching "jockey" [13:54] There's a small difference, but not much [13:54] I see nothing [13:54] :/ [13:55] AHA [13:55] Wait [13:55] if there is no obvious cpu hog, you may need to lookup a way of checking the IO per process. (i dont know how/if its possible) [13:55] You gave me wrong command [13:55] Gale0n: sorry type ALT + F2 then enter "jockey-gtk" [13:55] Olleh: I did check the man pages. As I notated, I used -a. -a SHOULD do it. [13:55] Olleh, so theres no way to measure what is using the load? [13:55] I needed "jockey-gtk" [13:55] Lol [13:55] because i cant report an issue to my hosting provider unless im sure there is one [13:55] Defusal: the time spent by the cpus in the bottom half of (I/O) drivers is not reflected in the load average, as this is only the average number of process in the process scheduler's runable queue [13:55] Gale0n: Sorry I'm not too familliar with these commands as I use kde [13:56] Defusal: loadavg is just a metric, the cause can be pretty much anything. But the main reasons are slow IO (harddrive) or maxed CPU [13:56] "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system" [13:56] GirlyGirl: No problem [13:56] I'm gonna work on my KDE later too :P [13:56] for some reason there is some strange gtk widget covering the bottom right corner, i am sure i once removed it [13:56] Gale0n: open terminal and type "lspci" [13:56] KK [13:56] Olleh, im pretty sure there are no IO bottlenecks, i get 100/100Mbps internet connectivity, even though i pay for 100/10, and i have nothing that is hdd intensive... [13:57] incorrect: can you give a screenshot please [13:57] Defusal: measure i/o performance, then [13:57] WTF [13:57] "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV570 [Radeon X1950 Pro]" [13:57] "01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV570 [Radeon X1950 Pro] (secondary)" [13:57] Why secondary [13:57] Defusal: yeah, measure your harddrive. Check for harddrive errors, etc. [13:57] Defusal: ambe with iostat 10 [13:57] maybe [13:57] Gale0n: sometimes the svideo out or similar has its own thing [13:57] Gale0n: send the entire output on paste.ubuntu.com [13:58] adriana- is a spambot for any OPs that are on. [13:58] ActionParsnip, i found it, they call it the resize grip, [13:58] iostat will tell you how much your harddrive is being used.. but it wont tell you what it causing it. If you find that your harddrive is being thrashed (possibly by swap) you'll need to trial/error [13:59] Olleh, the drive is part of a high performance cloud [13:59] how do i tell the percentage Olleh? [13:59] ah. then im not sure. I still say measure everything. If there is nothing hogging the CPU chances are its something to do with IO [13:59] adriana- is a spam bot, set me a link to a porn site immediately after i joined the channel [13:59] zimb0: thanks [14:00] i dont think you can check percentage [14:00] at least to my knowledge. if you find out, i'd be interested to know too [14:00] iostat 10 says 75% cpu idle [14:00] Device: tps Blk_read/s Blk_wrtn/s Blk_read Blk_wrtn [14:00] sda 3.20 0.00 33.60 0 336 [14:00] does anyone know how to share file & folder using wired connection?

[14:01] type "man scp" [14:01] any idea how to interpet that flummy? [14:01] What was the incentive behind creating Ubuntu [14:01] and why wouldn't the creators settle with Debian [14:02] I heard it was based on Debian because it had the longer running stable releases [14:02] more time to build off a stable core [14:02] then? [14:02] iDorito: It's based off Debian [14:02] /join #knowyourmeme [14:03] Also, they wanted less-fortunate people to have a computer [14:03] fly_high75: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/TransferFiles [14:03] Ok.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [14:04] iDorito: ? [14:04] you should see marks garden, wow [14:04] Gale0n, Cape Town, South Africa [14:04] Defusal: :< [14:05] Yeah. Like, I keep hearing about release cycles, stable vs. unstable releases, LTS (I know what it stands for), etc. etc. [14:05] why : I don't understand the context/significance of these things. It's confusing me. [14:05] Wherabout in Cape Town, Defusal ? [14:05] Where can I find out more? [14:05] Olleh, io wait % is 0.13 [14:05] iDorito: I dunno .. :/ [14:05] Gale0n, Durbanville [14:05] Defusal: Where about ? [14:05] oh i see you're also from SA [14:06] Yeah yeah [14:06] Basically, where can I learn more about how Ubuntu is developed and why it's based on Debian? [14:06] Defusal: at the moment, yeah. But check it when your load increases. [14:06] i live like 10 mins from marks garden [14:06] And the logic behind the development choices. [14:06] Gale0n, Defusal: This channel is for support only, do you mind moving the off-topic conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic ? [14:06] * Gale0n puffs up my chest [14:06] Yes Pici, I do. [14:06] Loljk [14:07] Hahaha. [14:07] Gale0n: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [14:07] heh [14:08] hi there [14:08] iDorito: You may want to see http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu as well as our entry in Wikipedia. [14:08] Hi! On windows I can use 'start' to launch anything from the command line as if it were started from explorer. Is there an equivalent for gnome? [14:08] is there a way to play a movie in slowmotion using mplayer and commandline ? [14:08] Halabund: alt+F2 ? [14:08] Halabund, Alt+F2? [14:08] Pici: Actually, what I want to understand is how release cycles/LTS works. [14:08] I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the purpose of these. [14:08] yellabs-r2: I'm not sure mplayer can but vlc DEF can in the gui and it's easy. [14:09] I don't really get what it is. [14:09] maybe totem can do it too ? [14:09] Olleh, dweez, no. E.g. 'start asd.pdf' would launch asd.pdf in the default reader. 'start .' will open the current dir in explorer. [14:09] yellabs-r2: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-desktop-74/playing-in-slow-motion-with-mplayer-474794/ [14:10] thanks , you are the man ! [14:10] :) [14:10] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Shuttleworth <-- the founder of ubuntu, he was also at one point a debian developer [14:10] why use "start"...wouldn't just using the "asd.pdf" be sufficient? [14:11] sorry, not understanding exactly what you're hoping to accomplish I guess [14:11] yellabs-r2: there is gnome-open [14:11] iDorito: We do a regular release every 6 months. These are normally supported (sercurity and major bugfix updates) for 18 months. Every two years we have an LTS release which is supported for 3 to 5 years. 3 years for desktop packages, 5 for server. [14:11] !releases | iDorito [14:11] iDorito: Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases [14:11] Thanks for the response. [14:12] Hi, setfacl is working even without mounting the filesystem with acl, how come? [14:12] My question is what exactly does "supported" mean in this context? [14:12] Is there a roadmap to switch Ubuntu from Upstart to systemd? [14:12] sorry yellabs-r2, wrong nick ;) [14:12] Halabund: there is gnome-open [14:12] iDorito, you get updates [14:12] Olleh, that's it, apparently. Thanks [14:12] What, like driver updates? [14:12] iDorito: It means upgrades and, if you can pay for it, support from Canonical. [14:12] iDorito, software updates, yes and people in here will help you [14:13] So let me get this straight. Every 6 months, Ubuntu releases a new LTS version? [14:13] Or is it just a regular version update? [14:13] iDorito, regular version 6 months [14:13] iDorito: No. Every 6 months we release a standard version that is only supported for 18 months. [14:13] iDorito, every 4th release is an LTS [14:14] next one tentatively being in april '12 [14:14] iDorito: It may be handy to note that our version numbers indicate the YEAR.MONTH of release. so 11.04 was released in April of 2011. [14:14] Okay, so every 6 months, a new version of Ubuntu is released, and the Ubuntu Foundation commits to providing driver- and software updates for 18 months past the release for each and every release? [14:14] Except for LTS, which is supported for a longer period of time? [14:14] iDorito, correct [14:15] What about third party software? [14:15] How do third party release cycles tie in with Ubuntu [14:15] and how do you maintain compatibility [14:15] iDorito: Software updates as in new features reduce once a release is no longer current but bugfixes come in [14:15] iDorito, most of third party is "supported" by the community [14:15] ie. MOTU [14:15] iDorito: Sort of. Software updates are not provided if there is just a new version available upstream, we only provide updates for major bugfixes or security issues. [14:16] !latest [14:16] Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [14:16] iDorito: Kind of like Microsofts mainstream support and extended support [14:16] unless it's something like flash which is supported in the Canonical partner repos [14:16] Wait, so are Ubuntu versions that are past their 18 month support eligibility offered any updates *at all* from the Ubuntu foundation? [14:16] I see the essid in iwconfig but the access-point isn't associated...it's an ath5k atheros on natty...what can I do? [14:16] Or are they dropped completely? [14:17] iDorito, they go End of Life [14:17] Ooh. [14:17] Anyone here has any experience with Prolog (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prolog)? [14:17] Okay. [14:17] iDorito: Dropped [14:17] hi [14:17] iDorito: Makes you release how long Windows supports their OS for [14:17] Anyone here has any experience with Prolog (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prolog ) ? [14:17] Neutrinoo: Thats not really on-topic for an Ubuntu support channel. [14:17] iDorito, you can still technically use them but you won't get updates [14:17] Neutrinoo: I used prolog at Uni for a module. You have my sympathy [14:17] But then how do you keep all of your favorite applications updated along with your Ubuntu version? [14:18] What if you jump from one version to the next, and notice that none of your apps have been updated? [14:18] iDorito, you can upgrade or clean install [14:18] iDorito: Upgrade Ubuntu to a new version. [14:18] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [14:18] iDorito: We sync from debian for each new release. [14:18] release cycle [14:18] kaj si dikiz [14:18] I don't understand how that answers my question about software becoming obsolete. [14:18] there used to be an nice graphic of release cycles, dont know where that one is now [14:18] kako si [14:18] Am I missing something in your replies [14:19] so cas imame sega [14:19] !en | adapter [14:19] adapter: The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are English only. For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [14:19] is software obsolete , or just "old " [14:19] iDorito: If you upgrade to a new version, your software will be upgraded as well. [14:19] But what about third party software? [14:19] tuka si dikiz [14:20] iDorito: if you install software not from the repositories you're on your own [14:20] new versions get added to the repositories all the time [14:20] Isn't that a pretty big problem? [14:20] What's FLOSS alternative for video communication? [14:20] but yes as LjL said [14:20] And a flaw? [14:20] iDorito, Linux has been like that for years [14:20] not a flaw [14:20] iDorito: uh, not like third-party software updates automagically on other systems [14:20] just like Windows [14:20] Like a skype, jabber has video? [14:20] all software is like that [14:20] hi, i have ubuntu 11.04 and im having some problems loging into hotmail... although i can enter the webpage "www.hotmail.com" once i try to enter my account and pwd it wont display the page... [14:20] Windws Update only updates system files [14:20] even your phone [14:21] hi [14:21] LjL: Well, with other OS' the distinction between releases is greater, and updates provided for your OS won't render your third party software support obsolete. [14:21] Atlantic777: Yes, it does. [14:21] You can always expect a Windows Vista application to work on Windows Vista and so forth. [14:21] Anahi88: works fine for me when I try just now, use chrome [14:21] artzra: Hello. [14:21] im using chrome [14:21] Anahi88: Do you have some sort of script blocker running? [14:21] iDorito, have you ever experienced some of your 3rd party software being obsolete? [14:21] Lithos84, hi [14:21] dweez: In Windows or Ubuntu? [14:22] either [14:22] No, I don't think so. [14:22] and you can't compare Windows and Linux apples to apples [14:22] by chance, can i have some help [14:22] so you're worried about something that has never happened before? [14:22] How can I install Sun's (Oracle's) Java instead of OpenJDK on Oneiric? (Need it to log in to bank) [14:22] iDorito: Most of third party software will be upgraded along with Ubuntu. [14:22] iDorito: LTS releases are supported for 3 years, that seems enough time to me [14:22] !ask | artzra [14:22] artzra: 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. :-) See also !patience [14:23] Ubuntu's apt-get repos support a lot of apps, not just the Ubuntu-base [14:23] dweez: Well, I'm not an avid Ubuntu user. I've only played around with it before. I am merely commenting on the logic behind the release philosophy. [14:23] i dont know :(.... im sorry im kind of new to this whole thing... although i have been using ubuntu for 2 years now.. i always received help from a friend [14:23] is there a command to enable packet injection? [14:23] I mean, as a desktop user, you kind of want to feel confident that you can always hold a third party provider responsible for having their software work on your OS. [14:23] iDorito, I think the problem here is you're coming at Linux with a Windows midnset [14:23] mindset [14:24] Windows/OSX mindset* I guess? [14:24] If a 3rd party app no longer works, then it's on the app developer to update their software [14:24] But that doesn't change my question I think. :/ [14:24] iDorito: that's simply unreasonable to expect on Linux, with the huge number of distributions there is. here it's the *distribution* that's usually responsible for making software work, not the software provider [14:24] iDorito: There are some disadvantages to Linux software management undoubtedly. Most users don't care if their core OS upgrades each six months, just the user software they use [14:24] Service Pack1 for windows 2000 broke ZoneAlarm [14:24] context : new install : PC strange slow, some application " banshee" "ntfs-config"dont open [14:24] ZoneAlarm fixed their app and released an update [14:25] Yes yorx39 this is sort of what I am getting at. [14:25] :-/ [14:25] To me, it sounds like a flaw in the release philosophy. [14:25] Halabund, download the jdk from them and then add it to your path and/or JAVA_HOME [14:25] No one says you have to upgrade each time [14:25] iDorito: That's why some people use rolling release [14:25] rolling release = LTS? [14:25] just move from LTS to LTS ( long term support ) [14:25] no [14:25] i have install Ubuntu-Studio 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) Daily Build [14:25] wide_awake, why was it removed from the repos? [14:26] nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnvbbnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn05 [14:26] iDorito: no, rolling release is something that Ubuntu doesn't have, namely instead of having fixed release your system updates continuously [14:26] iDorito: No, it's where your OS continuously upgrades whenever new software is available. The kernel, GNOME, everything [14:26] artzra, oneiric questions go in #ubuntu+1 [14:26] Oic. [14:26] hi everyone, I'm working with nm-applet (network manager) and I want to be able to save my wireless password. I understand that I must check "available to all users" on the connection settings, and I must have gnome-keyring running for that. How do I make sure gnome-keyring is running? [14:26] Halabund, I didn't know the oracle/sun one was ever in the repos [14:26] iDorito, the closest you'd get to rolling release is by using the dev releases, which isn't really recommended unless you have a spare system that you don't rely on [14:26] !details | artzra [14:26] artzra: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [14:26] is it not the same with windows , moved from Xp to Vista to Windows 7 and now windows 8 [14:26] wide_awake, it was ... can't find it in oneiric. it was in the "partner" repos in 11.04 [14:26] Or using Arch/Gentoo ;) [14:26] help me [14:27] !11.10 | artzra [14:27] artzra: Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) will be the fifteenth release of Ubuntu. Codename announcement here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/?p=646 Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [14:27] yellabs-r2, even more granular...Service Pack to Service Pack [14:27] Halabund, that's one of those things I always install by hand, so I guess I can't help ya :-/ [14:27] yeah even worse [14:27] hehe [14:27] (unless you want to install it by hand, of course) [14:27] Ubuntu 11.10: whats new? [14:27] winadmin: nothing yet, since it's not released yet :) ask in #ubuntu+1 [14:28] Well, as far as I'm concerned, the third party software provider commits to providing their software to users of a certain OS, such as OSX Lion, Windows 7, Windows XP and so forth. This puts the pressure on them to always ensure that their software works on the given OS. At the same time, rolling OS releases ensures (I am guessing) that the OS won't have any radical changes that would render the third party software obsolete. It seems [14:28] a perfect software ecosystem for desktop users. [14:28] #ubuntu+1 [14:28] With Ubuntu on the other hand, it seems to be the complete opposite. :/ [14:29] This is what I find a little strange, you know? [14:29] rolling release prevent your from making any radical change [14:29] iDorito: Rolling release is hard to keep stable though, especially with so many integrated packages like Ubuntu. It's not without its own issues [14:29] so it's not ideal [14:29] Isumi: Well, the radical changes come with each big release. [14:29] Windows XP -> Vista -> 7 -> 8 etc. [14:29] [Wed 12 | 10:28:53] With Ubuntu on the other hand, it seems to be the complete opposite. :/ <== It might seem that way, but it isn't [14:30] IMHO, rolling releases (Arch, Gentoo) you have more of a chance of a surpise update changing things drastically than you do with Ubuntu [14:30] Well, I always like to keep myself updated. I would hate to update my Ubuntu one day, only to find that some of my apps have become obsolete. [14:30] iDorito, you've NEVER had that [14:31] so why now all of a sudden are you worried? [14:31] dweez: Actually, now that I think about it, I think I have. :x [14:31] iDorito, it's not that bad having a slightly out-of-date solitaire game [14:31] iDorito: Rolling release is partly harder on Linux because the way shared libraries/software is used. On Windows every music player bundles its own MP3 decoder etc., on Linux they use the same one. It saves space (irrelevant these days) but makes it more complex [14:31] Haha. [14:31] does anyone know of a photo program, that has a PNP plugin, so i can browse a share? [14:32] Also, what if you want to use an obscure application for whatever purpose, and it turns out to be like [14:32] completely outdated [14:32] so Ubuntu won't even let you install it via the app manager [14:32] iDorito, who's fault is that? [14:32] hi everyone, I'm working with nm-applet (network manager) and I want to be able to save my wireless password. I understand that I must check "available to all users" on the connection settings, and I must have gnome-keyring running for that. How do I make sure gnome-keyring is running so I can make a network connection available to all users? [14:32] So you're saying an outdated app is the fault of the Ubuntu developers? [14:32] I've got a server running KVM and I can connect to it remotely on the LAN (using Virtual Machine Manager), but I can't seem to connect to it outside the LAN, although I do have the necessary port forwarding set up on port 2222. Any thoughts on what I need to do so I can connect to my VM through my firewall? [14:33] can we keep the philosophical discussion of differences of distros and rolling release model vs. set schedules to #ubuntu-offtopic so this channel can be reserved for support questions? [14:33] thank you [14:33] iDorito: You're not the first person to think these things. The fact application developers have to compile different versions of their application for not just separate distributions, but versions of those distros is lunacy. On Windows the same .exe will work on XP, Windows 7, Vista etc. [14:33] dweez: Well, in windows it wouldnt be obsolete as long as its the right version of windows. [14:34] Yeah yorx39. :/ [14:34] iDorito, this conversation is off-topic (as pointed out by Myrtti) so we need to drop it [14:34] Anyway, you've answered all of my questions. Thanks for clarifying. [14:34] dweez: distupgrades on fixed release distroes can be way more hairy than the updates you get with rolling release. Eg back in the bad old days it was even recommended to not do a distupgrade at all between some ubuntu versions, but to reinstall instead [14:34] Well, I've gathered enough info. Thanks for taking the time to explain. :-) [14:35] iDorito , good luck with your quest :) [14:36] in which config file is the path set globally for the system? === rdraga is now known as TuxOtaku [14:37] 1DDDDDDDDDDDDXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD ]//////\'''''''''''\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'''''''''''\\\\ [14:37] /etc/environment i think?

[14:58] sgs2_usr: im assuming you are running on an intel pc... its hardware specific not OS [14:59] libScout_: yes, it's Intel [14:59] libScout_: but how do you explain it works for 7.1.4 and not 8? [14:59] Hola [14:59] Pici I was wondering why no one is objecting the discussions and there you are :-D [14:59] Laura_morenita: Holla [14:59] Aric: This may be help to have an idea: http://ur1.ca/5dves [14:59] on a separate note, why is gnome 3 not the session manager as opposed to unity, I find unity awkward [15:00] Unity is to cater to make Linux easier for new users. You can still switch to Gnome by choosing "Ubuntu Classic" I believe [15:00] Bisu[Shield]: you can have classic menu easily [15:00] Laura_morenita: Hello. [15:00] sgs2_usr: could be a ton of reasons... but probably something to do with graphic card acceleration... [15:00] Holà [15:01] libScout_: yeah, that's what i thought too.... [15:01] Thelastproject that option will only be available if he installs gnome shell from software center :-) [15:01] libScout_: no solution....sigh :D [15:01] Really? [15:01] sgs2_usr: sorry... degrade? [15:01] I thought I could switch without any installation =/ [15:01] libScout_: i need to use 8 features [15:02] TheLastProject: lol.. yeah but shell is not a heavy software [15:02] sgs2_usr: well crap on a stick... i would go back to VMWare and see if others are having trouble with graphics on WS8 [15:02] libScout_: and if so, open a ticket [15:03] libScout_: yeah, i think i will open a ticket.. [15:03] guys how can i kill Gimp by command line? [15:03] can't find the process, and it crashed [15:03] dyd: killall -9 gimp [15:03] dyd: pkill gimp ? If it's not gimp, try: ps -ef | grep gimp [15:04] can't find the processù [15:04] I'm running openbox, I'm trying to follow a tutorial and it says go to "System --> Preferences --> Passwords and Encryption Keys " then "Right click on Passwords --> Passwords: Login " -- Anyone know how to load this by CLI? [15:05] dyd: can you get to your system monitor? [15:05] what was the link for the page with the paste box? [15:05] dyd: run xkill, and click on gimp [15:05] ehh, so I install ubuntu 11.04 64bit in a VM because it hates me so badly [15:05] hello ubuntu'hello ubuntu'ers [15:05] In 11.04 what is the current recommended windows media player plugin alternative for firefox?

[15:05] it's not working [15:05] wait [15:05] how many hours do i have to wait to get my hands in the Ocelot? :D [15:05] tzhuang: reformat [15:06] ryannathans: wait really? = = [15:06] Lithos84: thank you, it worked [15:06] greg3000: that's probably seahorse [15:06] dyd: You're welcome. [15:06] jrib: thanks for the suggestion :) [15:06] first time going thru a distribution upgrade [15:07] would it be better to reinstall the OS [15:07] or just upgrade from natty [15:07] tzhuang: unless you encounter problems upgrading, i don't see why you would reinstall [15:07] tzhuang: it would be better to reinstall afresh (especially since 11.10 gets rid of gnome2 for gnome3) [15:08] tzhuang: yea, reinstalling is the ultimate option [15:08] whatever i guess [15:08] source amnesia, but yea i have heard that reinstalling was better [15:08] anyone care to spare the details if it's not too technical [15:08] LjL: i'm expecting an influx of upgrade problems in this channel [15:09] [15:09] [15:09] [15:09] jas: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[15:13] g0rs: nope [15:13] g0rs: are you using ccsm to tweak compiz? [15:13] !unity | ryannathans [15:13] ryannathans: Unity is the default UI for Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. You can still boot to the classic GNOME desktop; see !classic. [15:14] phlak_user: i have compiz manager and a blue launchpad with which i configure its settings.

Is there a way to listen to it with rhythmbox or some other client? Or are there better services?

[15:41] go to low graphic [15:41] auronandace: can you help? [15:41] then enter this : sudo aticonfig --initial [15:41] If anybody's curious about the pandora/ubuntu question, I found a (so far) nice gnome client, Pithos. [15:42] if you see nothing again on the reboot , go back into low graphics mode to uninstall the driver [15:42] someone that can help me? The bug is that the "Save" button is disabled, even if I already authorize the computer... I'm using ubuntu 11.10 updated [15:42] ryannathans: just looking through it i notice the e1000 driver is loaded but the "internet test" fails (although the "network test" passes) [15:42] Does anyone know of any sort of mail server that runs as a user-space application? Something that doesn't run as a daemon but instead is launched on demand. [15:42] c1t0s1d : Oneiric/11.10 is not yet released. Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion.

[15:44] auronandace: i'll try normal [15:44] somsip: I'm looking to receive email [15:44] ryannathans: sorry, not following you, you must have had the disk to install via pxe [15:45] libscout_: because then I have to log out of my actual gmail account ;) [15:45] martian: ah - wrong idea here then :) [15:45] auronandace: extracted disc to nfs and it can boot off that [15:45] ryannathans: with virtualbox you only need the iso file (just mount it in the vbox cd) [15:46] auronandace: I know, i'm trying to find it [15:46] martian: so annoying right? i have Google apps handle my domain specific email and my gmail account and it gets frustrating switching between the too... i've actually thought about switching one account to another email webclient like yahoo or ::GASP:: hotmail [15:46] libscout_, somsip: I'll just install a regular mail server I suppose. I just remember using some windoze app I used once that was basically a stripped down email client with a server built in, so you could register for junk as blahblah@my.ip.address [15:47] hello. Is there anyway I can list only the IPs bound to the machine without going through ifconfig info? [15:48] hi - is there any possibility to upgrade my ubuntu 10,10 to ubuntu studio without installing from DVD ? [15:48] Hi there, I'm ssh-ing into my workstation and running emacs in a window. I'm etting errors such as "GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server" and "GLib-WARNING **: In call to g_spawn_sync(), exit status of a child process was requested but SIGCHLD action was set to SIG_IGN" and things like that.. can someone tell me what's going on?

[15:50] Pici, it is launching my application but after a delay. [15:50] BigMao: So ignore the warnings. [15:51] Lithos84 : thanks [15:51] Pici, what is the probability that the errors are causing the application to load more slowly? [15:51] gaby: You're welcome. [15:51] BigMao: Low. If you're running this through a forwarded X session, then that is more likely to cause what seem to be speed issues. [15:52] Pici, when I run another program like "meld" everything happens very fast and I don't get the error. Also, my workstation is just in the other room, it's a fast connection. :) [15:53] auronandace: i might jus download xubuntu [15:53] ryannathans: thats what i use (and archlinux too) [15:54] Lithos84 : seems like done - shall i restart my system to get effect - or ? [15:54] ryannathans: if you hold off till tommorow you could get the stable release of 11.10 [15:55] Hello everybody [15:55] gaby: Logout, choose Ubuntu Studio session and login. [15:55] I have an ubuntu server with a time problem. For some reason the date reports in UTC even though I've set the tzdata to PDT. I know the hardware clock is set to UTC, but for some reason the device does not accept that it's PDT. Any suggestions for what I should be looking at? [15:57] Patriot: Hello.

[16:02] Patriot: just either use linux desktops or buy a windows server...I know, you didn't want to hear that [16:02] zagibu: No need to buy [16:02] :P === Guest78606 is now known as gauravd [16:03] Gale0n yeah where the windows machine logs onto the Ubuntu server [16:03] Nah not going to do that [16:03] Patriot: hmm [16:03] like, in Enterprise ? [16:03] hi [16:03] OK wait, I'll try and help, only in query [16:03] linux and windows domains seems like too much works [16:04] Gale0n It is windows 7 pro [16:04] work [16:04] What is the best Active Directory alternative for an Ubuntu Server I want to run at home and have 4-5 laptops connected, roaming profiles and syncing of home directories for laptops that leave the network and return is a must and the main purpose [16:04] lithos84: is there a room for ubuntu studio here ?

[16:06] Ubuntu official page doesn't list the date either [16:06] sorry if the question doesn't seem to belong here - i'm not actually asking for web-dev help, but rather, for a suggestion whether to use a soft link or a hard link for this purpose [16:06] i want to go for ubuntu-studio room - any body can help ?

[16:12] my first linux... nogui [16:12] ubuntu doesn't teach newcomers anything about the OS, the gentoo install does... you guys are all deluded lol [16:12] It all depends on where the X for closing Windows is.

Is there a way to make it work right as I resume? [16:12] gentoo? [16:12] prad_: ubuntu or linux mint vm [16:13] prad_: don't use gentoo if you're new to Linux, please [16:13] ryannathans: Not Ubuntu, KUbuntu === a3dbox is now known as oakbox [16:13] which one is the closest to windows? [16:13] And yes, as Aric said, not Gentoo [16:13] prad_: Linux Mint imo [16:13] if you use mint, you can't get support here [16:13] Gale0n: kde? why? [16:13] so ubuntu wins :D [16:13] prad_: Mint or KUbuntu [16:13] BBL... more yard work :P [16:13] is ubuntu the best linux distro?

I tried to remove the unity package but it still logs me into.. a big nautilus window. === PartyBot2 is now known as GirlyGirl [16:14] thanks [16:14] applications come from package manager mostly on ubuntu and mint [16:14] prad_: If you don't like it, use KUbuntu [16:14] !11.10 | fede [16:14] fede: Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) will be the fifteenth release of Ubuntu. Codename announcement here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/?p=646 Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [16:15] "give a man a fish, feed him for a day, teach a man to fish, feed him for life" [16:15] prad_: I've usually suggested Mint to all my Windows lovers, and none have complained or wanted to even return to windows afterwards.. Mint is based on Ubuntu but it is it's own in terms of support and such [16:15] @Galeon sure [16:15] fede: Easy [16:15] sure will give it a try [16:16] Gale0n: sorry.. i'm quite a n00b =) [16:16] When logging in, at the bottom (before you put in your password), at the bottom, there should be a bar [16:16] In that bar is a drop-down menu, with "Ubuntu" inside it [16:16] Click that, and choose Gnome [16:17] Gale0n: thnx a lot, i'll try now [16:17] np [16:17] prad_: I would still suggest YOU try both, Linux Mint and Kubuntu ... and maybe even try plain old Ubuntu to see if you enjoy that... Linux can run easily in 512mb VM's and is free and easy to install a VM from a downloaded ISO so :) [16:17] hal ghalo [16:17] halo halo [16:17] goodmorning [16:18] prad_: You will notice Mint's support is much more...lacking... see: http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=152 and pm me for anything else on this since I fear we're going too far off topic and cluttering the room but i have used many of them and can talk more if you wish [16:18] hi zsekomp14 do you have a ubuntu question? [16:18] no, im only tryin a ubunto on lesson [16:19] Anyone proficient in the "DD" command? - I want to copy SDA1 to SDC in an image file form. [16:20] I dont want to lose my existing data on sdc [16:20] ToeKutter: theres dozens of dd tutoruials out there.. you would put sda to sdc.. or sda1 to sdc1 normally. [16:20] i've seen direct copys, but nothing using image file [16:20] ToeKutter: if you want to put sda1 in am image file.. you just use of=/path/to/whatever.image [16:20] yes, but that only makes an image file of your current sda [16:21] ToeKutter: Thats what i saw you ask.... [16:21] and if you dont have the space on SDA [16:21] if you want to save your data, make a new partition and write to that [16:21] ToeKutter: you dont do sda image to sda.. you put it on whever you mounted sdc at === test is now known as JonathanMM [16:22] dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/media/mountpointofsdc1 bs=2048 [16:22] dd if=/dev/sda1 of=~/disk2.img --this only makes an image on sda1 [16:22] so? [16:22] Gale0n: just tried.. but i can't see any bar on the bottom.. there's just the bar on the top with the computer's name on the left, then the speenwheel-like selector on the left side of the screen.. [16:22] ToeKutter: so why are you uysing that path then? [16:22] ToeKutter: and you dont really want to image sda1 IF its in use. [16:22] why would you output to ~/disk2.img? [16:23] fede, there's no bar on top [16:23] disk2.img is just a nme [16:23] This is when it would be a good idea to read up on some bash and linux basics befor messing with dd. [16:23] ToeKutter: and ~/ IS a path [16:23] storing an image of itself is kind of impossible for any kind of disk [16:23] (if it's not compressed) [16:23] of=/media/mountpointofsdc1 bs=2048 --- so of = /dev/sdc/file1.img then Willis? [16:24] no [16:24] ToeKutter: i said several times the MOUNTPOINT of sdc.... [16:24] ToeKutter: mountpoint of sdc1 to me specific. [16:24] Gale0n: it lookes like this http://cdn.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/screen-shot-2011-10-06-at-18.06.57-copy.jpg [16:24] what? /dev/sdc1 is the mountpoint ? [16:25] ToeKutter: NO it is NOT the mountpoint. [16:25] thats the DEVICE name. [16:25] i have a dell with a dock port is there a way to configure the docking and undocking process ? [16:25] !mount | ToeKutter [16:25] ToeKutter: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [16:26] hey guys what's a good tool to develop in php with ubuntu? [16:26] ToeKutter: you should boot a live cd. Mount sdc1 to some location like /media/sdc1 then image sda1 to the /media/sdc1 [16:26] a good development environment? [16:26] u only need to mount something if its not mounted already. - the distor sees the drive [16:26] hmm [16:26] DaniG2k: aptana studio [16:26] that isn't just gedit [16:26] thanks :) [16:26] Daniel0108: Notepad++ [16:26] From Sourceforge [16:26] ToeKutter: if you want to make an Image in a file.. you dont do an of=/dev/XXX that would be to the device not an image [16:26] Aptana is based on the eclipse platform, just fyi [16:26] Daniel0108: gedit [16:27] ToeKutter: and you dont want to image sda1 if its monunted. or at least its not a good idea. [16:27] fede: You use gnome-shell ? [16:27] ActionParsnip: wrong nick :) [16:27] d'oh [16:27] Gale0n: yes, i just installed it from the package manager [16:28] Ok thank you willis. I am booted using a live cd [16:28] hello. i have some files in a partition on my drive, and some of them seem to have disappeared in nautilus. going through terminal to the folder and running ls, I get messages like "ls: cannot access academic1110.odt: Input/output error" [16:28] any ideas? [16:28] hi, how can i look the detail of a domain name ( ns, ip ) by terminal? [16:28] dying disk? [16:28] Bilz: is the partition healthy? [16:28] it happens, you know [16:28] BlInK311: hard drive or fs has errors.. you may want to try fscking the disk. or imageing it to some other location befor trying to fsck it.. and try to fsck the image. [16:28] fede, give me a min [16:28] McQueen, nmap? [16:29] ActionParsnip, I hope so? Other files are opening fine, its just a few that aren't showing up [16:29] fede: Press ALT+F2 [16:29] Abhijit, its a tool... i am looking for a terminal command [16:29] Gale0n: it's very kind from you [16:29] ok [16:29] is it right that I should be having to manually modprobe b44 and b43 to get both my network cards working (b44 for wired, b43 for wireless)?

I found something regarding swapcaps in xorg.log? https://gist.github.com/59151e2e216f39441b6d but I'm not sure from what file it's reading this information.

[16:31] joops: tracking system? [16:31] yeah [16:32] smith, go to places menu and click on the name of the partition [16:32] what do you mean by that [16:32] I have a tablet running Ubuntu (9.04), not Android. I want to be able to SSH into it from my host computer (ideally Windows, could be Ubuntu also). Kicker: only connection is USB from host to tablet. Possible? [16:32] Bilz: boot to live CD and you can test it there [16:32] Places -> drive label [16:32] as far as open source databases we use mysql primarily [16:32] something that can track mac addresses, hardware state, any info we need on servers in our clusters. [16:32] smith, if you go to places>connect to server, then there is an option for windows shares there [16:32] Abhijit: that didn't work I used the WuInstaller thingy for ubuntu [16:32] joops: like a monitoring/network identity system? [16:32] We can certainly write one but checking to see if something is out there. [16:32] I can see the partion only via the partion tool in ubuntu [16:32] smith, oh sorry, misread. I should stop using IRC when tired... [16:33] hey, how can I choose the gnome shell as standard-desktop with autologin in 11.10? [16:33] smith, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [16:33] We are currently using centreon/nagios and are considering adding columns or tables for additional host data. [16:33] smith, what is that. generally you dont need to do anything manually to be able to mount windows partition just click on it [16:33] Gale0n: it says the package is updated.. i already tried a purge-reinstall and a reconfigure gnome-shell before === camilleqco_ is now known as camilleqco [16:33] Yea the thing called "File system" won't let me see the windows files [16:33] Or creating something completely seperate or using some open source tracking system.

[16:34] i'm not sure what happens with wubi, though, because last time I checked it installed into a file on the windows partition [16:34] fede: gnome-shell isn't supported here [16:34] smith: Have you mounted your Windows partition? [16:34] joops: there might be some sort of arp monitoring plugin for nagios already but writing one up would be relatively simple as well [16:35] Polah: I instaleld with that wubi thing [16:35] has anybody tried to use wu-ftpd? "upload" option doesn't work for me, it doesn't change user/group when i upload files (always owned by uploader which is not what i want) === reed_ is now known as reed [16:35] and while in ubuntu It won't allow me to access the windows stuff [16:35] joops: we use cacti for monitoring mysql databases, in particular innodb storage engine stats, as well as all of our servers/nodes with snmp agents [16:36] Got it. [16:36] smith: If you plan to be using Ubuntu frequently, it's recommended to do a proper standalone install. WUBI is primarily for trying out the system with a slightly less temporary solution than a live session [16:36] ActionParsnip: i know.. but the problem seems to be the ubuntu session manager not recognizing my choice, gnome seems to be working fine [16:36] joops: i would be surprised if there were no layer 2 discovery plugins for cacti though [16:36] fede: yes but its gnome3, isn't it?

I don't know about WUBI mounting the host filesystem, but something could have gone wrong with your install, or you're using the incorrect options when attempts to mount [16:38] ActionParsnip: oh sorry.. just logged on the room xchat pushed me [16:38] I would run away from wubi whenever possible... :) [16:38] if you need to test out ubuntu safely in windows. Id run it in virtualbox. :) [16:38] Well you guys are a whole lot more helpful than windows support lol I've been here less than 5mins and I've gotten more than 4 soultions to my problem.

I have sun java installed and i would prefer not to install open jdk [16:39] anyone know how I might recover my lost MBR, when my disk has been overwritten with LVM? [16:40] gridbag: If you go to your keyboard settings on GNOME (probably Unity too), then Layouts tab then Options, there's various setting in there to specify dead keys and other key settings [16:40] arkanabar: you need to re-write the proper mbr [16:40] gridbag: you could use xmodmap to map the key to nothing [16:40] hello [16:40] (And as an answear to my question, its solved on 11.11 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/imagej/+changelog ) [16:41] arkanabar: You can reinstall GRUB to your MBR to boot with, but if your partition table has been overwritten and you didn't back it up before through something like dd, then it is irretrievable. === giovanni is now known as Guest17152 === crazyfork is now known as noobubuntu [16:42] Polah, Is that in the Control Center?

You just delete the #pci devices and reboot, and Ubuntu will repopulate that file with the devices in the correct order [16:53] drahst: And it says it's not configured, or fails to connect? [16:54] it brings it up just fine on startup, I can use that interface just fine, but when I go to restart networking or use ifdown/ifup, it complains [16:54] when I added the interface, I only edited the interfaces file [16:54] was I supposed to do something else?

[16:55] drahst: If you got Ubuntu with a desktop by default, nm-applet or similar will handle network management and /etc/network/interfaces isn't used, I don't know exactly how networking is switched between either [16:55] on the 15th, isnt it? [16:56] tomorrow [16:56] vikas_srivastava, hopefully tomorrow. [16:56] has anybody encrypted their hard drive in ubuntu 11.04 after installation?

I can access my KVM server when I am on the LAN but I want to be able to access it externally on port 2222 [16:58] panfist: Of course, if you added them manually they'll be in /etc/apt/sources.list [16:58] panfist: You can use ppa-purge to remove/revert packages installed from PPAs [16:58] Question - my syslog on my DHCP/LTSP server is repeating this: Oct 12 08:49:55 ubuntu-ltsp01 dhcpd: DHCPNAK on 192.168.100.20 to 00:0a:95:81:74:17 via eth0.

[17:06] intangir: the actual release is not available [17:06] Hey, I've still got this problem where torrenting something sends my main harddrive into "read-only" mode, I then have to reboot a wait for a fsck to fix it. I've tried full harddrive self-checks and it seems fine. My ram is also fine. I'm really stuck for what to do but this is very annoying. I've now tried two different torrent programs, both with the same effect. The computer can be fine for hours but the moment [17:06] the torrent program opens the disk goes straight into read-only mode. What is their I can do?

[17:14] When my computer resumes from sleeping, it takes quite a while for the network manager to start looking for wifis and connecting to my own. Is there a way to make it work right as I resume?

I want hear only at earohone when connect it [17:16] I experience freeze on some Chromium tabs and occasional small jitering on audio playing. I'm under Ubuntu 11.10 and wonder if it's some kind of known issu or can be solved in some way, as it's annoying [17:16] Gale0n: that does not work, it tries to reinstall the deb created by checkinstall, doesn't find it, and dies [17:17] apt-get --purge remove <[--- will remove program and dependencies or does apt-get remove do that allready [17:17] aptitude reinstall >> [17:17] cheater__: if you installed from source then it is not in repo [17:17] damn i should stop smoking. [17:17] so apt will not see it [17:17] B08, apt-get remove is th same. [17:17] The Chromium problem is a bit dificult to explain, the behaviour is a bit weird. It's not average freeze, but it's like it never loads the page. Sometimes an aaplication crashing window message appears, but the browser it's still loaded [17:18] Gale0n: thanks :) [17:18] np [17:18] what is purpose of --purge if any ? [17:18] Also, the audio jitering is just occasional, specially more hearable when starting to play a file or changing music in an audio stream [17:18] I must say, ubuntu has come a long way since the last time I've ran it! :) [17:18] ubuntu is pretty nice [17:18] I'm using openbox to preserve system resources, and I want to access the Windows partition. However, if I start nautilus that seems to invoke xterm (at least in some respects). I can't find any command for mounting the partition using midnight commander, and I'm unfamiliar with the 'mount' command. Any tips? [17:19] B08: purge will also remove the config files [17:19] pangolin: Thanks :>) [17:19] B08: libxml2 IS in the repository, but i was installing from source. [17:19] B08: see man apt-get [17:19] any suggestions on what software to use to keep a set of ubuntu clients up to date based on one main system? [17:19] I never had problems in other distros, so this is showing me I should change from Ubuntu to other. I'm considering as some kind of unresolved issue as I've seen older Ubuntu versions have Chomium problems too [17:20] hi guys someone can help me?

And no, chrooting would not work because that would require the package manager to be configured in /diskless [18:16] auronandace: Thanks.

[18:21] ImDoT, do you know if the Intel HD Graphics driver has any kind of configuration utility that generates an xorg.conf file?

[18:27] Fuchs, that would get the nvidia driver to use it.. is there a program like powerstrip for windows that can actually upload it back to the monitor?

If your root filesystem is managed by mdadm, the scripts to mount it will be under /usr/share/initramfs-tools (these are used to generate the initramfs that's used by your system). Otherwise, it seems to use the classic sysd format, so you should see it in /etc/rc?.d/*mdadm* [19:15] asterfish: if you have loaded the whole thing into ram at boot [19:16] mr_daniel: I don't use mdadm, but it does the same thing for LVM [19:16] * Companion devours mcveat [19:17] I'm trying to get Tor installed and running properly but it's driving me insane [19:17] scorinitron, ive always just used tor browser bundle [19:18] How do you get it installed [19:18] !tor | scorinitron [19:18] scorinitron: Tor is a program to route connections through several servers for anonymity.

[19:22] but I can't ping [19:22] network manager [19:22] so, no network issues [19:22] just a problem with network manager [19:22] and no hardware issues [19:23] can you ping your gateway ip?

[19:28] and it has always worked for over 3.5 years [19:30] any user of a laptop with docking port ? [19:30] Surkow|laptop: what ip address does your wifi get? [19:30] is ubuntu releasing on 13 oct ober or not ? [19:30] How do you make samba a member of a domain [19:30] 192.168.1.102, madmax_ [19:30] Is there any way to tell if a USB Wireless thumb will work with the 64 bit ubuntu 11.04 or higher?

[19:31] it currently uses ethernet, I'll pull the plug to ping hte gateway [19:31] Surkow|laptop: what does the routing table look like? [19:32] any user of a laptop with docking port ? [19:32] no, but I've had to support my share of windows users with docking ports [19:32] ;) [19:33] Surkow|laptop: nice but i am having problems when docking and undocking on linux [19:33] madmax_, did you receive the query? [19:34] vafied_, could have been a hardware issue [19:34] :) [19:34] Surkow|laptop: working as support or sys admin ? [19:34] both [19:34] well [19:34] that was some time ago [19:34] Surkow|laptop: thin is something about gnome because i can do that using kde with no problem [19:34] Surkow|laptop: yes, try without the cable in, but disconnect and reconnect to the wifi after pulling the cable [19:34] How can I configure unity 2d? [19:34] why am i unable to change the screen birghtness percentage while on battery power though the power management? [19:35] Hi [19:35] Hi [19:35] I have ubuntu 11 on a sony vaio laptop and am having trouble setting the screen brightness [19:35] Question - what exactly does this refer to? ubuntu-ltsp01 dhcpd: DHCPNAK on 192.168.100.20 to 00:0a:95:81:74:17 via eth0. It's looping continually in my syslog. [19:35] does anyone have any idea of how can I overcome this? [19:35] vafied_:what goes wrong exactly? [19:35] madmax_, same thing [19:35] im getting blind here [19:35] so brighty [19:36] screen goes black but everything still working [19:36] or was I too fast? [19:36] hmm [19:36] Surkow|laptop: did the routing table change? [19:36] gnome switches to the most recently attached monitor [19:36] same thing happens with my kvm switch [19:36] no, madmax_ [19:36] Surkow|laptop: i can make everything works fine if i restart x server but that kill my session [19:36] hello someone can help me? [19:37] i've a simple question [19:37] gleydson: ask [19:37] vafied_, that's actually a common problem for me [19:37] Surkow|laptop: if the routing table didn't change, then that is why you cannot ping/connect [19:37] hmmm [19:37] i want to use my webcam with windows users but when i connect they dnt see nothing [19:37] Surkow|laptop: i tried using a script that changes betwen to x conf files [19:37] i've ubuntu 10.04 [19:37] gleydson: What application? [19:38] emesene [19:38] Surkow|laptop: check the nm, make sure things are set to auto, and no manual stuff is set [19:38] but i've tried with amsn too and dnt work [19:38] has any solution? [19:38] when is ubuntu 11.10 releasing ? [19:38] reachingperfecti: tomorrow [19:38] madmax_, everything is correct [19:39] nothing has changed since the wireless stopped working [19:39] I'm running out of ideas [19:39] gleydson: i take it your camera works fine when you test it locally [19:39] reachingperfecti: read the topic [19:39] what can stop the routing table from updating? [19:39] yes [19:39] i test with cheese too and works fine [19:39] is there a exact time when 11.10 will be released will it be released after midnight or what [19:40] Surkow|laptop: whats the problem with madmax_ ? [19:40] I have the issue ;) [19:40] some routing table issues. Wifi connects, but I can't ping [19:40] external sites [19:40] SetiAmon: They release it when they release it. [19:41] Surkow|laptop: route -n #See if it is your router's IP. [19:41] vafied_: he is using networkmanager to connect to 2 networks, a cabled and a wifi. 2 different subnets. when he unpluges the cable, and tries to just connect wifi, the routing table does not change [19:41] someone has any idea or a alternative? [19:41] Surkow|laptop: cat /etc/resolv.conf #See if you have valid nameserver, (probably your routers IP will be first because it has caching nameserver). [19:42] hmm, let me check [19:42] to sugest me [19:42] gleydson: skype? [19:42] Surkow|laptop: Can you ping the router? [19:42] madmax_: gonna sound silly but did you try dhclient ? [19:42] nameserver 192.168.2.1 [19:42] nameserver 192.168.1.1 [19:42] nameserver 62.133.126.28 [19:42] no one online xD [19:42] seems like all the networks I connected to [19:43] Surkow|laptop: What is your router's IP? [19:43] 2.1 [19:43] the top one [19:43] but on my computer works fine [19:43] Surkow|laptop: can you ping 2.1? [19:43] yes [19:43] vafied_: I have not had him try that ye [19:43] Surkow|laptop: route -n #See if it is your router's IP. [19:43] yes [19:43] Surkow|laptop: host av.com === NigelS_ is now known as NigelS [19:44] av.com? [19:44] madmax_: but he wants some specific configurations instead of the dhcp server ones ? [19:44] Surkow|laptop: host av.com [19:44] ah [19:44] Does it resolv? [19:44] yes [19:44] but I'm chatting right now [19:44] :P [19:44] Ok good. [19:44] so ethernet works [19:44] I logged in with a second computer [19:45] (without the laptop) [19:45] Surkow|laptop: Well, you have to actually work on the computer that is broken before you can hope to fix it. [19:45] just so I can unplug the ethernet cable from time to time to test [19:45] offtopic really groove salad is a great radio station [19:45] vafied_: he wants to switch between cabled and wifi, and it stuck with the routing for the cable [19:45] vafied_: we have #ubuntu-offtopic for offtopic chatter [19:46] h00k, there is an app for that [19:46] hooch: ok ok but don't mind U_U [19:46] http://pastebin.com/BU24iw8m [19:46] output of host av [19:46] so that works [19:46] I want to somehow fully restart the USB subsystem of a machine, however, usbcore on ubuntu is a kernel builtin rather than a module, so rmmod usbcore is not going to cut it. Is there any other way to do this? [19:46] h00k: ok ok but don't mind U_U [19:46] wtf 2 h00k's on different servers? o.0 [19:46] MacGyverNL: what sort of usb device is it? [19:47] Surkow|laptop: If that is from the computer you are working on, looks like you are good to go. If it is not, it is irelevant. [19:47] yes, it's the laptop that is troubled [19:47] Companion: no, one server. multiple channels [19:47] but the moment I disconnect my ethernet [19:47] and switch to wireless [19:47] any wireless network [19:47] *irrelevant [19:47] at work, university, family [19:47] or at home [19:47] ActionParsnip: No device. The entire usb subsystem. As in, the usbcore module. But in Ubuntu it's not a module. [19:47] I connect properly, but can't use internet [19:48] h00k, no one dude @ Quakenet asked me a question about android and linux and typed h0 here and send the message to the wrong guy :') [19:48] !enter | Surkow|laptop [19:48] Surkow|laptop: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [19:48] Surkow|laptop: please keep your things on one line, it makes it easier to follow [19:48] MacGyverNL: true but if you remove then reload the driver for the usb device specifically it may work [19:48] Companion: ah, different guy. I claim he's stealing my name, or something. [19:48] lol h00k [19:48] ActionParsnip: I tried this, removing usbserial and pl2303. [19:48] No dice. [19:48] hmm, I guess that's only logical in a busy channel as this. But I can take a hint. [19:49] Surkow|laptop: iwconfig #Will tell you information about the wireless device and it's status. Otherwise, use the network-manager to see what you can or can't connect to in the way of WiFi APs. [19:49] ActionParsnip: Maybe I'm missing a module though. The device is a towitoko usb smart card reader, under ubuntu 10.04. [19:49] It is detected the first time after boot. [19:50] urs13: he connects, the routing table does not change [19:50] Then, if I unplug it, it is subsequently not handled correctly anymore. === derp is now known as [You [19:50] MacGyverNL: run: lsmod see if anything jumps out [19:50] Surkow|laptop: did you tried a dhclient ? [19:51] usr13, I can connect. http://pastebin.com/nQ7miYDX [19:53] hmmm [19:55] Surkow|laptop: Is it working? host av.com [19:56] Surkow: if not, try dhclient wlan0 [19:56] Surkow: if not, try sudo dhclient wlan0 [19:57] usr13, it seems to do something [19:58] dhclient did make it work...but rather strange === [You is now known as derp [19:58] can anybody help me a little =) ? [19:58] Surkow: did the routing table change? === Mud is now known as Guest6914 [19:58] yes it did [19:58] does upstart in ubuntu 10.04 still honor /etc/rc.local? [19:59] I'm trying to screen record with ffmpeg, but am failing badly...anyone know how to do this? Need video and sound. Thanks. [19:59] ok I removed udisks from my system and downloaded the tar from an older version how do I install it?

[20:06] claro.net.br ? i know this guy [20:06] Does anyone know of a command that can pad a text file with spaces to a certain width? [20:06] Hi there. I'm using 11.04 and have started using the AWM dock. I'm trying to remove the main gnome panel, but I've not having any luck. [20:06] hello, just install ubuntu server, during the installation i did not install any specific service. does it come with apache installed? [20:07] socket: No, you will have to install apache yourself if you want it [20:07] socket: not if you did not ask for it [20:07] brentw: You mean the Thick ubuntu bar on the right? I don't think you can get rid of that [20:07] socket: sudo apt-get install lamp-server, I think will install apache, php, mysql [20:07] I reboot every day. eth0 has automatic for everything [20:07] 4th time just visiting the google home page crashes my X server -_- [20:07] except for the mac address it seems [20:08] 11.04 has unity, right? === slow-motion_ is now known as slow-motion [20:08] yes [20:08] Surkow: what if you disable the wired connection [20:08] I don't think you can remove the bar with unity... [20:08] :( [20:08] or simply remove it? I suppose it'll get recreated, right? [20:08] Now with ubuntu-classic, you can remove it [20:08] libscout__: Yes. See the utilities grub-reboot and grub-set-default utilities. You'll need GRUB_DEFAULT=saved in /etc/default/grub. [20:08] just try to disable [20:08] MAREK_BENC_NetB, that's unity. I'm using classic though. which is regular gnome [20:09] brentw: oh, if you're using classic, it's easy [20:09] undecim: Ubuntu comes with Unity2D instead of Ubuntu Classic [20:09] madmax_, if I disconnect my ethernet the wireless keeps working [20:09] this ubuntu box is going to be a local web dev box, running httpd & mysql & php. any reason i should use xttpd/dhttpd/thttpd instead of apache ? [20:09] dhclient did seem to fix it [20:09] socket: no [20:09] undecim: in Oneiric, that is [20:09] brentw: Right click and remove panel doesn't work? [20:09] Jordan_U: thanks... i actually figured it out... bad reboot caused boot screen\ [20:10] I'll try a reboot. :) [20:10] undecim, Where should I be looking? i've removed all settings that specify gnome-panel as the default panel [20:10] hi, i need some app to recover my files from USB drive [20:10] i am wondering why the wired connection still had the route info [20:10] brentw: I forget the key you have to change in gconf, but I wrote about it on my blog a while back... gimme a minute to find it [20:10] krisss117: foremost works well [20:10] socket: wel I'd suggest just using whatever will be used in production [20:10] Hello. [20:10] thanks [20:10] libscout__: You're welcome. [20:10] brentw: http://blog.undecim.org/replace-gnome-panel-with-avant-window-navigator-or-any-other-dock/ [20:10] krisss117: or scalpel. Backups will definately be the best option [20:10] undecim, Changing the key doesn't seem to work. I've tried that, gnome-panle still appears. :( [20:11] brentw: Which key? [20:11] undecim: the exact one you specify in your blog [20:11] thank's [20:12] I've made that change, but the panel still loads [20:12] i am wondering why the wired connection still had the route info [20:12] hmm, I can only add new connections or remove them [20:13] brentw: It must be as ActionParsnip said then. You're using unity2D instead of Gnome [20:13] Im trying to mount a Server via SSHFS on my PC. It works and i can see the files from the server. But i cant save edited files! Over a console with ssh it is possible, but i cant edit the files of the mountet path. Has someone a idea? [20:14] undecim: unity2d can run on gnome, it doesn't replace it :) [20:14] i cant find the problem. [20:14] undecim, it's not unity though. it's just a regular gnome-panel [20:14] so .. i was trying to install madwifi but i have this problem (wlanconfig: ioctl: No such device) when i try to put (xpress@xpress:~$ wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta) .. can anybody helps =) [20:15] I can killall it and it just reloads on me [20:15] ^^ [20:17] Surkow: did you reboot? [20:17] madmax_, usr13 - it seems to perform correctly, even after a reboot. So for some reason the routing table is properly updated now [20:17] yes [20:17] it still works [20:17] * alexsandr is listening to "Зачем?" by Ginex feat. Новое Время [, 0] [20:17] nice [20:17] brentw: Well, you could just rename the gnome-panel binary so nothing can find it. [20:17] brentw: You might have to do that every time it's updated, though. [20:17] I suppose the routing table should lose the 2.1 destination in route -n after disconnection eth0? [20:17] brentw: Or actually, just make it non-executable [20:18] Surkow: yes, if in auto, it should update upon a network change [20:18] madmax_, it loses the 2.1 [20:18] awesome :D [20:19] plugging it in shows it again. I suppose dhclient does not affect nm directly, right? So this wasn't a network manager problem. [20:19] undecim: That might be my only option. I just don't understand what's forcing it to reload. It just seems so strange [20:19] the dhclient was just a one time command. it's what network manager does when you change a setting [20:19] simply asking for a new dhcp ip with dhclient solved all the issues [20:19] oh [20:20] I haven' t changed any settings in nm [20:20] brentw: I'll see if I can coerce some functionality out of VirtualBox and mess around with it (I'm on Arch, currently) [20:20] Surkow: for what ever reason, nm was not seeing the change when you unplugged the cable [20:20] magic, I got it ;) [20:20] thanks for the support guys [20:21] Surkow: or it saw it, and hung up doing something for it [20:21] undecim, Cool. I will try a few more things. If I have a result I'll let you know. ;) [20:21] lets see if it still works when I'll use a network with a certificate tomorrow [20:21] i just installed ubuntu 11.04 and fully updated everything. but the max resolution my system is shwoing is 13xx by 768, my monitor is 1440 x 900 and my video card is an nvidia 210 which supports up to 1920x1080. when i check the additional drivers says its activated but not in use(nvidia driver) [20:22] Malgorath: that might be one of the few cases to reboot you system after changing something [20:23] guntbert, it asked me to and i did already [20:23] opinions welcome: do you guys think a Ubuntu boot disk will have any more luck than an XP boot disk with a HDD problem that's throwing blue screens of death? [20:23] Malgorath: then I don't know, sorry [20:23] mendota: can't harm to try. === richard is now known as Guest28881 [20:24] mendota: Neither one should be related to HDD problems [20:24] guntbert, np, thanks for suggesting something :) [20:24] opt1mus, undecim_ yeah, that's mostly what i was thinking [20:24] mendota: I had BSoD with an XP system, and booted Linux no problem. [20:25] but, it'd be nice not to have to completely dismantle this laptop to change out its corrupted/virused? HDD [20:25] Im trying to mount a Server via SSHFS on my PC. It works and i can see the files from the server. But i cant save edited files! Over a console with ssh it is possible, but i cant edit the files of the mountet path. Has someone a idea? [20:25] mendota: It was related to me messing with a flashfire program. [20:25] mendota: What problems are you having booting an XP disc? [20:25] koaja, permissions are not set right [20:25] hello [20:26] undecim_ well, i've got this vaio that's got no boot screen and it hangs after the XP disk tries to run its installation program [20:26] Malgorath, how should the be? [20:26] undecim_ i get the feeling there might be more wrong than the HDD, but i'm willing to test a couple of avenues first. === Guest28881 is now known as rlee123 [20:26] byes [20:26] mendota: Have you recently installed new RAM or any other changes? [20:26] mendota: At what point does it hang? Before it even loads the install part, or while the installation is running? [20:26] does anyone know how to automate a command when a usb device is plugged in what i have so far is a bash script with the command and a line is the visudo file "%admin ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/iwconfig" but i dont want to have to click every time i plug in the device [20:27] k [20:27] undecim_ it gets most of its drivers set up [20:27] oh [20:27] Malgorath, the premissions of the server or my local server? [20:27] i have problem with ubuntu like this : cant run it from 1st usb hdd makes my pc into restart loop, cantu run it from second usb hdd black screen nothing happens, cant frun it from pendrive, cant get good vga driver i have splitted screen made from bars hard to explain, any suggestions ? [20:27] undecim_ and then it stops with an error screen [20:27] mendota: code? [20:27] undecim_ claims i should run chkdsk on the hdd [20:27] tacomaster, look up udev rules [20:27] koaja, could be either [20:27] undecim_ let's see...should be in my search history... [20:27] mendota: Yeah, that sounds like a hardware issue [20:28] need help from someone outside the US with firebug/web console installed, will take 2sec [20:28] so them will someone help ? :) [20:28] then* [20:28] undecim_ it's a stop code: "stop 0x0000007b" [20:28] Polah: ok ty [20:28] glassresistor: that seem hardly like an ubuntu support question? [20:29] *seems [20:29] no one will help newbie like me ? :( [20:29] mendota: Yeah. See if the Ubuntu CD gets anywhere [20:29] !please | osu_ [20:29] osu_: Avoid following your questions with a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on.

[20:30] how comes that my /etc/bash_completion.d/ is nearly empty? I've installed aptitude but it does not show up there. [20:31] guntbert: very off-topic alopogies but don't know of a #outside-the-us-with-console-log [20:31] here is my bug report for nvidia activate but not in use, anyone able to help out? http://pastebin.com/n82pVU1x [20:31] mendota: If it doesn't work, then try a new HDD. If that doesn't work, then it's the mobo, and that's generally more expensive than just selling off the working parts of the laptop and buying a newly refurbished one. [20:31] undecim_ okay. that's good to know [20:31] glassresistor: try #ubuntu-offtopic ? [20:31] undecim_ i'm just avoiding the HDD replacement...because it's going to be a pain cracking that case [20:32] undecim_ but there's 4 good gigs of laptop RAM i could salvage :D [20:32] mendota: Usually the HDD is 1-4 screws away... Is sony THAT bad at making things? [20:32] Malgorath, how can i detect it? [20:33] Malgorath: invalid EDID === Maid is now known as Ty|Huggle [20:33] Malgorath: either try to get a valid EDID for your monitor, or specifiy the allowed resolutions manually, [20:33] undecim_ well, there's no obvious access [20:33] Malgorath: e.g. with X Server modelines. [20:33] undecim_ like my toshiba has two panels that you just open one screw for the primary/secondary hdd [20:34] swick: do you have the package "bash-completion" installed? [20:34] guntbert: thanks, again apologies [20:35] while true; do mv head desk/; mv desk/head ./; done [20:35] Fuchs, ugh haven't done those in many a moon. how would i get a valid edid? [20:35] Malgorath: do you have by chance windows on that machine? [20:36] for some unknwon reasons the driver there is a bit less picky, and you could use it to dump the EDID to a file, which can be fed to the linux driver with the UseCustomEDID Option [20:36] is there a spanish ubuntu channel ? [20:36] hi [20:36] fuchs i have the same monitor on another computer with windows 7 if that helps but this box is linux only [20:36] i need your expert help on a gbit lan firmware upgrade for a server eq [20:36] my pc wont run ubuntu why ? i get black screen, split junk screen, [20:36] jrib: no. [20:37] is a script from hp than updates the firmware on my nic but ubuntu is not supported [20:37] oh, Malgorath, wait [20:37] somebody can fix that wlanconfig: ioctl: No such device ? [20:37] Malgorath: you set this resolution by yourself in the xorg.conf [20:37] swick: you probably want it :) [20:37] Red HAt or Suse [20:37] Malgorath: Option "metamodes" "1360x768 +0+0" << [20:37] will it work on my server?

[20:39] when i try to run from pendrive i get that junk screes if its from hdd i get black screen really strange [20:39] Malgorath: then that might be due to the driver not be able to read the EDID [20:39] it is as it cant recognize my vga [20:39] madmax_: lo no wireless extensions.

[20:42] Ntemis: it's in a prolient machine? [20:42] yes [20:42] yup [20:42] Malgorath: you probably have to specify a modeline for that [20:42] ah. [20:42] Ntemis: should be fine.

[20:43] well i jsut want kvm virtualization [20:43] just* [20:43] who in here knows what will hang a live session?

[20:45] reisio: what about a boot option for rams or power options? [20:45] sorry im quite new into linux thingie [20:45] xpress:are you using a standard ubuntu install with the gnome desktop?

[20:45] osu_: disable one of the GPUs if you can [20:45] osu_: ubuntu oneiric, just a stab in the dark really. [20:45] osu_: Oneiric has a newer kernel, may help [20:46] reisio: but which one for Dell Latitude D820? [20:46] ok ill try that [20:46] you don't have to change distro to get a newer kernel [20:46] xpress: are you using a standard ubuntu install with the gnome desktop?

Splitting it up like that is a headache and runs the risk of you running out on room (especially on /boot, 128MB is tiny).

[20:59] xpress: show me dmesg |grep ath [20:59] rww and reisio , it's just that whenever i switch my distro i loose all my softwares.so i was just thinking creating a separate /usr will save me the trouble [20:59] madmax_: http://pastebin.com/7mWiMW7d [20:59] steel_: No, it'll cause you a lot of pain and package management issues.

[21:09] xpress: the last one? 11.04, 10.10. 10.04? This will address the connection issues that you are having. Frequent drop's, etc. [21:09] Has ubuntu ever had a version which would install on machines running ARM or StrongARM, like PPC, HP iPAQ, etc? [21:10] well.. that was... interesting [21:10] madmax_: 11.04 but i am not sure :D [21:10] I can use BitchsX in ubuntu 11.4 [21:10] BarkingFish: pretty sure, yeah [21:10] BarkingFish: and certainly Debian has [21:11] default_|: No. bitchx was removed from Debian (and thus Ubuntu) a number of releases ago. [21:11] Fuchs, perhaps I should figure out where to put that, I tried to replace the line in my xorg.conf but must have borked it up cause it was really wrong [21:11] isn't bitchx no longer developed? [21:11] !bitchx | default_| [21:11] default_|: bitchx (also known as ircii-pana) was dropped from Debian and subsequently Ubuntu (see: http://dy.fi/afb). Consider using irssi or weechat instead. [21:11] irssi is better anyways [21:11] what similary a Bitchs I can use ? [21:11] madmax_: i reboot =) [21:12] reisio, is there any chance there'd still be ISO's of it somewhere? I'm trying to switch my old HP iPAQ RX1950 over to linux from WM5, and want something I can install from an SD Card, since I have no sync leads for it [21:12] default_|: irssi or weechat [21:12] irssi [21:12] xpress: okay [21:12] thanks [21:12] default_|: irssi [21:12] reisio: better than a dead project, most things are ;) [21:12] pidgin here :) [21:13] ActionParsnip: you could be right about that :p [21:13] BarkingFish: WM5?

[21:19] ActionParsnip, it happenes on 2 machines same hardware from fresh install [21:19] ActionParsnip, yes [21:19] ActionParsnip, but the minute I open / close the tray it locksup [21:19] crash1hd: any bugs reported? [21:19] How do I rmdir with files? [21:19] ActionParsnip, not that I could find [21:20] madmax_: man you lied to me ? :S [21:20] hello, my Intel Corporation 82562V-2 eth card loses connectivity after some random time. I wrote a dirty script that reboots the system after 5minutes of Internet unconnectivity... Is there a way to restart? the eth card instead ? [21:20] xpress: what do you mean? [21:20] madmax_: i mean i restarted and i havesnt got any network [21:20] is there an alternative to avahi-daemon? It causes performance issues when used with another software I'm using. [21:20] madmax_: i deleated the file [21:20] MrKeuner: you might try /etc/init.d/network restart (or whatever) instead [21:20] crash1hd: I suggest you report one. If you press CTRL+ALT+F1 when the system hangs, does it take you to cli? [21:20] service something something [21:20] Hi folks. [21:20] madmax_: i now have network but the OC is bugged [21:21] MrKeuner: or check your router [21:21] atannus: hi [21:21] madmax_: i cant click to exit from program [21:21] reisio, router is the campus router... [21:21] xpress: I don't like being called a liar, when trying to help you. I told you to read the post, and wanted to know what version of xubuntu you had. [21:21] madmax:_ i cant minimize and i dont have desktop picture :P [21:21] MrKeuner: nobody else is having the issue? [21:21] madmax_: i did not calle you lier but i just ask .. =) [21:22] reisio, nope... by /etc/init.d/network do you mean /etc/init.d/networking? [21:22] ActionParsnip, no it doesnt [21:22] xpress: saying that I lied to you, is calling me a liar [21:22] MrKeuner: sounds good [21:22] madmax_: couse there are people who can say something to do for make me shut the f*ck up :D .. [21:22] hi! I upgraded to 11.10 beta 2. I believe that with actualizations, it will become the final release the day that it's available. But I'm not finding any actualization any day. Is it normal? I thought everyday there would be some new things to update [21:22] madmax_: i am sry if i insulted you [21:23] reisio, do you think rmmod e1000e and insmod e1000e before restarting networking be better? [21:23] madmax_: but now my computer is for the rubbish ,9 [21:23] crash1hd: do you have a different optical drive to test? [21:23] MrKeuner: I guess you could try it if other things don't work [21:23] ActionParsnip, no sadly (but I did have 2 systems with the exact same specs, but of course the both had it happen) [21:23] xpress: first, what file did you add/remove [21:23] I'm trying to install ubuntu on a Toshiba Satellite and I get a RSOD. I have tried Ubuntu server 9.04 and 9.10. Ubuntu Desktop 9.04, 9.10, 10.04, 10.10 and 11.04. All desktop installs (including Debian 5 Desktop) and server install generate a RSOD with Deboostrap warning excep 10.04 which loads the background and freezes (only mouse responds do movement). I havefound no info on this anywhere... Windows xp, vista and 07 install fine. [21:23] pangolin: rm path/to/dir/ -fr [21:24] madmax_: how can i send you picture ? [21:24] ActionParsnip, its a SATA optical drive [21:24] If anyone can clue me in, I'll be forever grateful! [21:24] pangolin: what's nice about rmdir is you can use it on dirs and know it will only work if you've already emptied the dir [21:24] MrKeuner: you could try ifup ifdown as well [21:24] ActionParsnip, and this no mobo has no IDE connections [21:24] crash1hd: in BIOS, set the SATA to IDE compatibility mode [21:24] crash1hd: all drives are IDE ;) [21:24] atannus: red screen of death? [21:24] xpress: post it on picassa or something? [21:24] recon69_lap, what does ifup do? assign the IP number? [21:24] recon69_lap: or a different kernel version [21:24] can you accept ? [21:24] reisio, yes. [21:25] reisio, I am already using -35 [21:25] I just installed ubuntu 11.04 on this pure intel machine and it seems like it freezes but analyzing the logs says it had gotten my SAK and did kill X, but I cannot get to a tty or anything when it happens. I think it may be the FB crapping out [21:25] .35 [21:25] xpress: I don't except files from irc chats [21:25] madmax_: can you acsept ? [21:25] atannus: I thought that was a Windows thing... you talking about some BIOS thing? [21:25] MrKeuner: http://wiki.kartbuilding.net/index.php/Ifup-ifdown [21:25] xpress: show me cat /etc/issue [21:25] madmax_: how to upload it ? [21:25] w8 [21:26] Its onboard Intel GMA 950 so idk.. but the whole X display freezes and I can't do anything but hard shutdown cause the screen stops refreshing even though apparently the kernel is fine [21:26] Ubuntu 11.04 \n \l [21:26] reisio, no... I'm assuming Debootstrap is Debian Bootstrap or something... It happens after the install begins bootstraping/loading. It is a linux/debian/kernel thing... not bios FOR SURE. [21:26] nvz: when X starts, or randomly afterwards? [21:26] madmax_: Ubuntu 11.04 \n \l [21:26] atannus: oh that, right sorry [21:26] I thought the point of debootstrap was that it wasn't susceptible to the issues of automated installers [21:26] reisio: its like 5min or so roughly I think its semi-random but its not too long after login. [21:27] ActionParsnip, yes but I have them set to AHCI because I have 6 drives connected to the SATA ports as well as the optical and if I set it to IDE then they are not hotswapable or at least some of them are not (but I will give it a try after this new fresh install) and see [21:27] madmax_: or say me how to upload it on internet .. [21:27] reisio: right now I am using screen on tty1 with irssi.. thinking about installing ssh so I can at least get in remotely [21:27] reisio, I'm no expert, but I generally get around issues with google and docs... not thins though. didnt know debian/ubuntu even had a RSOD! lol [21:27] * jaimef ponders qt 4.7 on lucid [21:27] xpress: you'll need an account with someting like picassa or photobucket [21:28] I cant rule out hardware, but I'm dismissing it as winxp , vista and 07 install fine. [21:28] madmax_: man i cant do that with my slow internet :/ just acsept it i am not a hacker or something like taht :/ [21:28] xpress: http://666kb.com/ [21:28] I have not tried different distros... [21:28] only debian and ubuntu... [21:29] atannus: have you tried using a USB stick? [21:29] xpress: sorry, I will not accept files from IRC [21:29] madmax_: i made it with 666kb.com =) [21:29] reisio, no... you're thinking the cd-rom? [21:29] w8 [21:29] reisio, the driver, I mean... [21:29] atannus: could be [21:30] madmax_: http://666kb.com/i/bxqpazlnoa5f5n276.jpg [21:30] hehe [21:30] reisio how come it works for everything else (windows shit?) [21:30] the device, the driver for it, the CDs themselves, how you're burning them, how the BIOS manages it [21:30] atannus: probably because the person who assembled the computer did so with only Windows in mind, for starters [21:30] atannus: easier to fix after you're installed [21:30] reisio, I... honestly don't think I'm burning the cds wrong... They work fine on other machines! [21:31] atannus: okay that's one out of a big list I just gave :p [21:31] xpress: is that spanish or portugese or...?= [21:31] reisio, lol... [21:31] there is nothing really in the logs indicating a problem other than "*ERROR* invalid framebuffer id" in syslog and kern.log from one of the times it hung [21:31] spanish [21:31] cool :) [21:31] did it both on the usb stick I installed with and on the install twice [21:31] the missing toolbar controls have nothing to do with the wifi config file in that post [21:31] ^^ [21:31] madmax_: so how i fix it :/ [21:32] and the desktop missing .. [21:32] reisio, damn... it is a toshiba laptop with oem windows vista... [21:32] xpress: what file did you delete? [21:32] xpress: what command did you run [21:32] madmax_: i didnt .. [21:32] atannus: just try with a USB stick, it might work [21:32] reisio, but I have never ever ever ever had a problem with ubuntu...

[21:33] i have nautilus ;) [21:33] im on linux right now... on another pc [21:33] a tarball of django [21:33] atannus: k, unetbootin should be in your repos [21:33] or some source code [21:33] epona: most distros provide django [21:33] xpress: when you came back to the chat, you said you deleted a file [21:33] or a text file [21:33] me goes back to X with ssh running to wait for the freeze [21:33] epona: is there some reason you want to compile it?

[21:46] hm :) [21:46] i think ubuntu disabled the hotkey for that per default [21:46] it used to be ctrl+alt+backspace [21:46] but it's probably disabled to not annoy new users [21:46] fluido, plus you can just use the magic sysrq-k [21:46] fluido, who frequently tap that combination for the giggles. ;) [21:47] more reliable anyway, being implemented in the kernel :p [21:47] also, damn tab completion [21:47] * cwillu pokes flummy_ with a stick [21:47] xpress: +F2, login, sudo gdm restart [21:47] cwillu, agreed. :D [21:47] ^^ [21:47] madmax_, why do that, when sysrq-k does it without the extra password?

[21:56] I'm trying to use the program 'playonlinux' to play a game, but when I click on the game, and then hit run, nothing happens. Any playonlinux people out there that can help me?

[22:09] This is undesirable behaviour to me.

[22:11] sync and umount first [22:11] xpress: shutdown, then turn it back on [22:11] qin: are animations working for you? i've enabled them in ccsm but there doesn't seem to any effects. [22:11] xpress: or, sudo reboot [22:12] g0rs: No idea, no x atm. [22:13] I'm trying to figure out why my machine is hard freezing -- with 10.04, a fresh install of 10.04, and 11.04. I can reliably trigger it with vmbuilder, where it dies in a select call. (but it dies in other cases as well, normally after 10 --15 minutes of excercise, but 20 hours of idle can do it too) [22:13] reisio: i mean something like SUSE's . free to read . free to download . free to distribute . this is an example for openSUSE 11.4 : http://www.novell.com/documentation/opensuse114/ [22:13] omido: ubuntu has that [22:13] g0rs: Did you edit setting per window?

[22:14] madmax_: and it shows me my desktop for about 2 seconds then disappears [22:14] it's not the install, seeing as it does it in 3. It's not video, since I found the vmbuilder crash with the video card pulled. Bonnie++ on either disk runs fine, and I can nc at gigabit speeds for 20+ gigs without a crash [22:14] reisio: info like that link. full documentation including startup guide . [22:14] and memtest has run for a day, and it still works [22:14] What am I missing? [22:14] omido: go to ubuntu.com, hit Support at the top [22:15] Or will I need to reinstall from scratch to go from Beta 2 to release? [22:15] Hey I've got a question for yall, I know how to use sudo and stuff. But, I can sudo su from an account, and do su from there with no issues... is there a way I can make myself able to "su " without having to sudo su first?

[22:17] sudo gpasswd [22:17] Why does it insert ;5D into Ubuntu Terminal instead of jumping a word to the left? This works fine in Windows. [22:17] g0rs: Recal that animation was set by window class, title, etc... Have you edit those? [22:17] Nach0z: actually you shouldn't have to be, nevermind [22:17] qin: there are logical oerations on windnows and they contain & and ! , so yes. [22:17] well, turns out I just had the password wrong. Is there a way I can skip the authentication step? [22:17] Nach0z: lol? no [22:17] xpress: http://paste.ubuntu.com [22:18] like, su from root doesn't make me need to auth [22:18] Nach0z: because root already has all privileges [22:18] qin: here is an example: ((type=Normal | Unknown) | name=sun-awt-X11-XFramePeer | name=sun-awt-X11-XDialogPeer) & !(role=toolTipTip | role=qtooltip_label) & !(type=Normal & override_redirect=1) & !(name=gnome-screensaver) [22:18] authenticating is pointless [22:18] you can do anything as root [22:18] madmax_: http://pastebin.com/Ztqxi1td [22:19] hm. well. inconvenient but I guess su - works better than having to ssh to localhost... [22:19] thanks then. [22:19] ssh to localhost, heh [22:19] g0rs: Above missing ) [22:19] Nach0z: the fact that you want to do this suggests your entire approach is likely suboptimal === wyang is now known as Guest57629 [22:20] madmax_: well ? [22:20] xpress: i am waiting for my imac to boot, it has xubuntu, i want to see if i can find the logs [22:20] g0rs: No, my bad [22:20] reisio I keep different services and programs under different users on my server so that if one gets compromised, it's easier to contain [22:20] madmax_: ok [22:20] qin: is it at the end? i think it misses ( and ) [22:20] Nach0z: but why would you need to log in as a service's user [22:20] qin: is it at the end? i think it misses ( and ) in the second expresssion after &! [22:20] 'cuz sometimes Unreal and Eggdrop need rebooted, reisio ... or other stuff [22:21] if it's a service you should be able to use the init system [22:21] or, config changes, more programs, dunno. It changes over time [22:21] Anyone familiar with pam_group.so? [22:21] lol not that kind of service [22:21] Jonathon: owes me $5 [22:21] qin: does it miss a ) at the end?

[22:21] *service. bleh can't type today [22:22] you could make it happen [22:22] but it would work against the extra security [22:22] madmax_: but it never thowed me this problem and i turn off the computer every day .. === meisiman is now known as Guest89919 [22:22] yeah, but only one account has sudo and it's got a longarse password .... I prefer to just be able to su - user [22:22] madmax_: trowed * [22:22] better than ssh localhost -l user -p 443 like I normally have to... [22:23] Nach0z: right, but sudo is configurable [22:23] qin: any ideas ?! [22:23] Nach0z: you could make an alias to your ssh [22:23] Am I correct in that pam_group.so will make the calling user a member of a group temporarily? [22:23] yeah, I did that once, but then realized that when I was ssh'ing to someone elses server, the -p 443 was ... uh... unnecessary [22:24] su - user really is faster XD [22:24] :p [22:24] madmax_: are you here ?

[22:42] famgod: which config files specifically? If you use "apt-file search /etc/bind" you would see what packages would install what files in that directory, some of the files may be auto-generated? user created? [22:43] qin: i had to select a type of animation in each window operation . For example in minimize operation, there was an entry , zoom, I changed it to something else .After that that particular animation was working for minimize window operation.

How to reset to default all sound config files? [22:47] arand, the files are auto-generated, i just ran apt-file, and it says the bind9 package is the package that will install the files....and when I install the package, it doesnt install the config files [22:47] when i first installed bind9 it installed the configs [22:47] now that i uninstalled, manually removed them, and then installed it again [22:47] it doesnt give me the config files again :( [22:49] I somehow managed to delete my network icon off the status bar. Is there anyway to bring it back? [22:49] Hello, gang. Can anyone point me to a step-by-step on configuring my ATI Mach64 GT video card with Lucid? [22:49] famgod: It may be the case that you removed the package but did not purge it, in which case it assumes that the config files are still there, and don't overwrite them... [22:49] famgod: try sudo apt-get --purge remove bind9 [22:49] famgod: and then reinstall [22:49] I got it working in Hardy, but upgrade killed my system so I'm working with a new install. [22:50] deebee_ thank you :) [22:50] Is there any real advantage of using sudo -i rather than sudo su? [22:50] deebee_: how to reinstall pulseaudio and to remove all config files ?

[22:57] xpress, try metacity & [22:57] ah [22:57] that did it [22:57] debee_ :i was making ath9k.conf in /etc/modprobe.d/ for better wifi connection and on the reboot this happened [22:57] is there an icon I can make to execute that command? [22:58] not an icon [22:58] a script [22:58] Nach0z: thanks, after removing config files with PURGE, i reinstalled pulseaudio with sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [22:58] so... did it work? lol [22:59] yes :] [22:59] awesome. I feel smart now [22:59] is ubuntu 11.10 out yet? [22:59] what is new in ubuntu 11.10?

Makes replying a lot easier and error free :) [22:59] utgt: can you read the topic¿ [22:59] utgt: /join #ubuntu+1 [23:00] ubuntu-desktop just installed missing packets after the purge [23:00] Nach0z: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6188826&postcount=4 shows the differences [23:00] hilacha: that worked but i now can move the windows but cant have desktop picture neither options for put some .. [23:00] thanks arand [23:01] hm... that's 'zactly what I was lookin for [23:01] xpress, i know until here. :) [23:01] deebee_, wow thanks =) [23:02] possible to upgrade from 11.04 32 bit to 11.10 64 bit? [23:02] hilacha, ok thanks =) [23:02] !+1 D_Russ [23:02] best part of 11.10.. native adaptec 6405 aacraid drives.. no more wasted time compiling that module for installs... yay! [23:02] D_Russ: No [23:02] !+1 | D_Russ [23:02] BarkingFish: He asked same in #ubuntu+1 [23:03] ok qin, thanks [23:03] Sphearion, are you talking about embedded adaptec driver in the kernel? [23:03] no answer in +1 [23:03] I'm not keeping up with +1's release party, or the channel, qin - too silly for me :) [23:03] Ok. II downloaded the printer drivers from the Avasys website (http://avasys.jp/eng/linux_driver/download/lsb/epson-inkjet/escp/) and I tried to compile from source (the deb packages were not available for ppc. But I couldn't do it with the usual commands (./configure, make and make install). There were some errors. I connected the printer with an ethernet cable and it was identified as a network printer, which was perfect. But then it began looking for [23:03] drivers, and it said there was something like an epson-escp- wrapper missing. Before I had already tried with the USB cable, it asked me for the ppd and I pointed to the one in the package directory. Apparently it was succesfuly installed, but it was always asking for the filter which couldn't be found. I tried to configure and install using the filter directory that came with the whole package, but there were always errors, first with the configure (it [23:03] missed a prefix, I guess) and then with make (error in the Makefile). I looked for support (Ubuntu forums, Avasys website and forums, Epson support for my country), but without success. I have the printer installed on two Mac OS systems (on another drive on the same computer and on a Macbook). But I don't want to change OS each time I have to print something! [23:03] Zacarias: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:03] hilacha, i mean i just installed the daily on one of my servers with that card in it and I didn't have to add steps for it to see the arrays. soo nice [23:04] i think there was the later end of the 2.x kernels that had support for it to. but not during install of 11.04 as it was 1 kernel version too old [23:05] Sphearion, cool. i work with raid cards in linux, but we uses debian [23:05] Zacarias: What epson is it? [23:05] We are an Ubuntu shop. [23:05] i dont know if already there are support to that board in squeeze [23:05] and those cards used to give me hell [23:06] the problem is recompile the kernel to support it? [23:06] so, is 11.10 out today without an RC? === SomeoneWeirdzzzz is now known as SomeoneWeird [23:06] Ha [23:06] stop following me canard, it's creepy [23:06] the problem was it was in a rpm from adaptec so during install you had to dkms and alien the package [23:06] at least in 11.04 [23:06] JamesMc: in the next 24 hours, yes === usr|bin|nice is now known as |usr|bin|nice [23:07] JamesMc: join #ubuntu-release-party for more [23:07] Sphearion, do you sell hardware for ubuntu? what is your url shop? [23:07] Mydoom: is that the official word? I'm really surprised there's been no RC [23:07] cheers Myrtti [23:07] we don't sell. shop meaning all our servers are ubuntu and our desktops are all ubuntu. [23:07] i dont have background can somebody helps ? [23:07] is common a rc before a final release in ubuntu releases> [23:07] ? [23:07] JamesMc: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricReleaseSchedule [23:08] FloodBot1: I don't understand [23:08] JamesMc: The release team decided not to do RCs for this and future releases unless they change their mind. [23:08] Zacarias, he is a bot :D .. [23:08] Sphearion, ok :) do you use adaptec 2405? [23:08] qin: it's an Epson SX525WD [23:08] no only the 6405 [23:09] and alot of asus pike cards [23:09] pike cards? what it that? [23:10] rww: is there anywhere I can read about the decision? I've been rather concerned with the quality of the last couple of ubuntu releases and while I understand an RC isn't anything special, I still think it's important to have one [23:10] a pike is like a manufacturer sas card for asus motherboards. it works like the adaptec. but it uses the motherboard sata connectors. and has a very special connector kinda like a really stretched out PCI [23:10] JamesMc: not that I know of [23:10] Zacarias: One moment, floodbot told you to keep it brief. [23:11] qin: but it was a long story [23:12] rww: thanks, I'll hunt around myself and see if I can find something, but I'm surprised I've not heard anything about this before [23:12] Sphearion, humm. i understood. Intel calls it a zero channel raid board (i guess). we already used that, but a lot time ago, witch scsi. [23:12] hilacha, http://us.estore.asus.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=2049 thats a pike [23:13] JamesMc: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2011-February/032448.html [23:14] Zacarias: pastebin the output of the ./configure and ./make commands [23:14] thanks canard, I'm fairly certain the RC was listed in the release schedule for oneiric though [23:14] Sphearion, thank you. i didnt about that [23:16] recon69_lap: how do I paste bin? Sorry for my ignorance [23:16] !pastebin | Zacarias [23:16] Zacarias: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [23:16] does upgrading remove old apps that are not in the new version? [23:17] Zacarias: for example: ls -l|pastebinit [23:17] recon69_lap: and if the make is huge just paste the end bit [23:19] MonkeyDust: for instance, if I want to paste the output of the terminal, I copy it and then what? Sorry [23:20] anyone here have fios in NJ? [23:20] guys .. i think i fuc*ed the ubuntu :D .. just sayin :P [23:21] Sou novo, tem alguém do Brasil?

[23:28] henrik_: that depennds on your irc client [23:29] aeon_ltd: i just downloaded it from ubuntu software center. xchat - gnome irc chat [23:30] i think i will wait a few days before i install 11.10. Now sandra has me a bit worried that me switching to 64 bit will become a problem. maybe i should test it in virtual box first [23:30] and this my first time using irc in about 10 years [23:30] henrik_, 2 years or decimal 10 ?

[23:32] hi, by chance , can y explain how made a dualboot [23:32] recon69_lap: next the make output [23:33] artzra, if windows is installed.. the ubuntu installer adds an entry to the grub menu (sometimes u may need to do manual interevention if its not added properly) [23:33] Getting Untrusted packages from ppa.launchpad and wonder if adding the right key would avoid this warning [23:33] recon69_lap: make [23:33] Makefile:15: *** missing separator.

[23:40] Zacarias: don't look like make did anything, readme for driver not much help. why you compiling, cant you install the pre compiled deb file [23:41] recon69_lap: no, I'm running power pc, and the deb packages are for other architectures [23:41] Asurah: anything else installed on the pc?

[23:45] almoxarife: I just downloaded the .iso from the official site and burned it on a CD.. [23:47] Asurah: I would suggest you download the 'alternate' version and redo the install, I have never had issues with a ;alternate' but have had with the 'desktop' [23:47] right peeps I'm out for the night, need my sleep. [23:48] almoxarife - is there any difference for a beginner user like myself? === SomeoneWeird is now known as SomeoneWeirdAFK [23:49] Asurah: the install or final desktop? [23:49] almoxarife - both? [23:50] is there anything I should know about the install? [23:50] and is there any differences in user experience between alternate and normal versions? [23:50] .pdf thumbs works like a charm on Ubuntu, it's awesome / got somuch troubles to get that on Win7. [23:50] Asurah: well, just burn the .iso and boot from it, then run the hardware tests to see if you got problems before installing [23:51] Asurah: same desktop will be avail, the alternate comes with more avail drivers for the install, a good thing. the install menu is the same basic one, I also suggest having the machine hardwired if possible to the internet [23:52] recon69_lap - what do you mean by hardware tests? how can I have hardware failures installing one OS but have no problems on the other one?
