[00:00] AkiRa_, their system works the way they can make the most money on it, they are long past getting market they are into keeping it be it mafia tactics or cash [00:00] of course my ubuntu has failed for 60days [00:00] and noone has an answer [00:00] uhzkm, i see. well, then you can skip the install ruby step. link me the docs? [00:00] sgflt, i just wonder why my terminal told me 1.8 and 1.9.1 were my only options [00:00] just rebooting and turning on my system creates new erros [00:00] erros let alone the problems i have just making things run [00:00] uhzkm, no idea, really [00:00] Alperen: Have you tried mount /dev/sdb /some/mount/point ? [00:00] AkiRa_: ok - that's something we can try to fix with you if you explain the problem [00:00] sgflt, the documentation for the installation? [00:01] uhzkm, yeah [00:01] anytime i run wine i can run no other software or entire comp lags wine says its not their problem its ubuntu [00:01] soreau, yes it says device doesnt exists [00:01] sgflt, all i've found is right here. http://code.google.com/p/bigbluebutton/wiki/08InstallationUbuntu#Overview [00:01] ubuntu says its not ubuntu [00:01] but from a OS stantpoint- i believe its ubuntu [00:01] Alperen: Does /dev/sdb1 exist? [00:01] AkiRa_: I'm sorry I don't support wine as I don't believe it's a product people should be using [00:01] AkiRa_:Lagging is to be suspected while running a whole opeating system emulator [00:02] I'm having an issue when pressing control + alt + F1 to access a Shell prompt, the screen goes black and the prompt doesn't show. [00:02] uhzkm, they seem to do everything right, except that they are installing ruby (and just ruby) from source [00:02] if i run wine w/o any other software i get no lag [00:02] soreau, it mounts in other linux distros and also windows [00:02] if i run wine with any functional software of linux i lag [00:02] Mokilok: try ctrl+alt+f2-f6 and see if that works [00:02] its not a problem of wine [00:02] ikonia: Pici: Is ubuntu planning to start charging for their OS? [00:02] AkiRa_: you're probably just running out of resources [00:03] uhzkm, i *think* they might need a newer ruby version than 10.04 provides (1.9.0). you seem to be on a newer version [00:03] soreau: you can rest easy....no [00:03] your funny [00:03] Alperen: Does /dev/sdb1 exist? [00:03] AkiRa_: I'm not being funny, I'm being realistic [00:03] uhzkm, so in that case, that problem might have solved itself and you're fine doing it the way you just did [00:03] robozman: all are just black screens [00:03] duel core 4gig ram prob not [00:03] Akira_: thats to be suspected. Running Wine Is A super serious hog on you comptuers power [00:03] AkiRa_: you can still run out of resources [00:03] AkiRa_: wine is quite heavy loading certain applications. [00:03] uhzkm, "You might be wondering why not use the default Ruby packages for Ubumtu 10.04? Unfortunately, they are out of date. " [00:03] uhzkm, even says so on the page =) [00:03] hi all .. is there any channel i can go in to get help with ubuntu installation .. I have been trying to install it for a week now with no success .. ubuntu doesn't seem to want to recognize my HDD ... have tried many many things ... need help ... msg me if you can help ... thanks! [00:03] soreau, no as i see. sudo fdisk -l wont give anything [00:03] AkiRa_: it can also lock out parts of the video card, showing "lag" as you call it [00:03] sgflt, I hope you're right, i have a feeling this is not going to work perfectly on my firstt attempt, but it is a learning process... [00:04] AkiRa_: which sounds similar to what you're describing [00:04] sgflt: i went with LTS. Thanks1!! [00:04] uhzkm, http://threebrothers.org/brendan/blog/ruby-1-9-2-on-ubuntu-11-04/ [00:04] Alperen: Well if it mounts fine in another linux distro, you should probably file a bug [00:04] sgflt, wish i could afford to take a course in this. [00:04] sam555, you're welcome. if it doesn't work (some hardware issues), before you pull out any hairs, boot a live cd with the latest version and see ifthat works better [00:05] using pokerstars i cannot use a single other utility in ubuntu [00:05] soreau, it suddenly happened i dont know why :S [00:05] uhzkm, learning by doing is a nice approach. i wouldn't trust any course, i think, as there's way too much to cover =) [00:05] Mikilok: odd. From what I have heard you might be able to fix this by updating xorg-x11 but IDK if you should trust that. Do it at your own risk. [00:05] hi [00:05] Alperen: It used to work? [00:05] AkiRa_: I've just explained a possability [00:06] soreau, yes still working in other distros [00:06] uhzkm, now, 11.04 seems to have problems. you're on 11.10 though? [00:06] Alperen: I mean in ubuntu [00:06] soreau, yes [00:06] where can i read about linux and everything...theirs things like inode, the kernel, and a bunch of other things...is their an excellent book or website? [00:06] 10.04 i think... [00:06] sgflt, ^ [00:06] Mokilok: odd. From what I have heard you might be able to fix this by updating xorg-x11 but IDK if you should trust that. Do it at your own risk. [00:07] !gnome [00:07] GNOME is the default !desktop environment on Ubuntu up to 10.10 To install it from Kubuntu or Xubuntu, type « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » in a !terminal. [00:07] why is it ubuntu will install to a flash drive but not to my hdd ... i do not get options to mount drives during the live cd install ... sda does not show partitions [00:07] uhzkm, that makes no sense, at least i don't know why you're not getting 1.9.0, unless you already use the checkinstall method from the website [00:07] sgflt, been at this for about 4 hours past bedtime [00:07] Alperen: Then you should file a bug report with all of this information [00:07] uhzkm, it's 2 past mine. and that's normal =) [00:07] soreau, ok thank you [00:07] im telling you the real problem is ubuntu not wine [00:07] why oh why has gnome been more or less removed from ubuntu... it's such a shame. [00:07] like just now [00:07] octobrain: it's not been removed [00:08] robozman: strange, seems that it was a resolution issue. I upped the res and now I can see it. Thanks for your help. [00:08] !manual | fellayaboy start here, from there it depends on how technical you want. lwn.net is good. kernelnewbies (do they still exist?) [00:08] fellayaboy start here, from there it depends on how technical you want. lwn.net is good. kernelnewbies (do they still exist?): The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [00:08] sgflt, I think what may have happen is that i ran that script and then installed via apt -get and i may have confused my machine a bit, i'm just sort of hoping it works itself out... [00:08] my cpu froze and its because ubuntu keeps trying to highlight the entire screen [00:08] AkiRa_: why is the problem ubuntu [00:08] AkiRa_: give me 1 reason why you think the issue is ubuntu [00:08] uhzkm, that's exactly the problem the others rudely warned you about =) [00:08] because ubuntu does this no matter what im doing wine or not [00:08] Alperen: I see in dmesg it shows sdb1 and sdb4. Have you tried mounting these? mount /dev/sdb4 /mount/point [00:08] uhzkm, now you have a problem that is possibly *very* hard to resolve cleanly =) [00:08] Mokilok: lol np. Odd. What kinda monitor/laptop are you using? What was the red set to? [00:08] AkiRa_: right, so why are you moaning about wine then if the issue is nothig do with wine and happens even when you are not using wine [00:09] soreau, it says doesnt exist [00:09] Mikilok: resolution* [00:09] AkiRa_: what video card do you have ? [00:09] because everyone says its wine and i know its ubuntu [00:09] uhzkm, it makes for great teaching though! =) [00:09] well, I just ran a dist-upgrade... and had to fiddle around until I found gnome again... but all my 'appearance' settings have now been reset and I can't apparently modify the panels so that stuff is where I want it. [00:09] AkiRa_ no-one is saying it's wine [00:09] hello, is there any convenient way to edit a bootable ISO file in UDF format? iso master doesn't seem to handle UDF. [00:09] AkiRa_: you are saying you are not even using wine and your machine has a problem....how can that be wine [00:09] yeah i just need to learn how linux in general works. a good solid foundation. im intermediate linux user...music and scanning i dont need to know i already know how to do that.. [00:09] sgflt, it certainly does... their next step doesn't work at all... hah [00:10] Alperen: Can you pastebin the output of 'ls /dev/sdb*'? (assuming you haven't unplugged it since pasting that dmesg output) [00:10] hello [00:10] uhzkm, i'm off to bed though. i could tell you more, but i think you're at the point where you need to learn more about what's going on and figure things out for yourself, because it *will* take a while [00:10] yay, lets me kinda re-arrange where stuff is on the panels [00:10] ubidoobi, if you boot to a live cd or thumb deive to install and open gparted what do you see [00:10] drive8 [00:10] robozman: I'm using a new HP dv6 i7. Using the Integrated intel adapter not the dedicated ATI Adapter. The res was set to 1024x768 (it seems to prefer that res when using multiple monitors) disconnected the montior and changed the res to 1366x768 and now it shows [00:10] anyone here have any experiance with broadcom drivers [00:11] uhzkm, after a while, you'll find out what kind of person you are. many get things working somehow and never touch. some learn a bit more and develop an understanding. i recommend the latter, but it's up to you :P [00:11] @texas - what's up? [00:11] uhzkm, g'night! [00:11] ubuntu constantly tries to highlight the entire screen and whole system locks up since ive installed [00:11] !broadcom | texas [00:11] texas: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [00:11] AkiRa_: what video card are you using [00:11] Hi, I'm trying to locate a package with glibc or similar compatibility. Any advice? [00:11] urlin2u - in gparted i see the partitions for win7 and the ones i make for ubuntu [00:11] intel onboard [00:11] now I just need to figure out how to fix the menu so that the old "pref's" and "system" menus are available [00:11] @JaymesKeller - sudo apt-cache search [00:11] soreau, http://pastebin.com/G3ckinqL [00:12] sgflt, night [00:12] AkiRa_: is your machine physically hanging/locking or just running slow [00:12] Mokilok: That Had to have been a error with the multiple monitors. I, along with many people I have seen on fourms seem to have that problem when using multiple monitors. I guess you'll just have to use termial for now. lol :) [00:12] it runs fine then hangs and i have to shut the laptop screen [00:12] ubidoobi, good is it a standard mbr or a gpt partitioning? and if you open home can you mount a partition then? Last of all why do you need to mount a partition, 3 questions here. [00:12] AkiRa_: so it's hanging/locking the machine totally [00:13] completely [00:13] ubidoobi, I don't do private . [00:13] since first install [00:13] even locks here [00:13] when im doing nothing [00:13] AkiRa_: ok - so there are a few possabilities here, [00:13] i try to click where to type and it tries to highlight entire screen [00:13] i was listening to q101.com [00:13] Alperen: That's strange if dmesg shows sdb1 and sdb4, they should exist in /dev/ [00:13] it it kept stopping the station [00:13] hello, is there any convenient way to edit a bootable ISO file in UDF format? iso master doesn't seem to handle UDF. [00:13] i'm doing a dual boot win7 and ubuntu is why i need the partitions [00:13] i goto youtube.com it locks [00:13] AkiRa_: the first one and easy one to remove is ram - it's a common issue and one that's easy to discount, but it does take a little time [00:14] AkiRa_: from the grub boot menu, you should have a memtest option, [00:14] AkiRa_: if you run that process for 12 hours or so, and see if it reports any errors, that will give you a good basis to discount any ram issues and move us on to the next step [00:14] Alperen: Make sure the usb is firmly plugged and there's no short. Try a different usb port. Note that unplugging/replugging may cause it to show up on a different node such as sdc or sdd [00:14] let me tell you its not my ram [00:14] im not just a kid or a average guy [00:14] AkiRa_: let me tell you - it could be [00:15] AkiRa_: tell you what then, help yourself [00:15] look if my ram had issues id have issues running any OS [00:15] AkiRa_: if you wher not a kid or an average guy, you wouldn't be sat in an irc channel complaining that wine makes your machine hang, when it's nothing to do with wine [00:15] AkiRa_: no you wouldn't [00:15] ubidoobi, have you resized W7 with its partitioner, leaving a unallocated space for Ubuntu, and are yoiu aware of the limitations on types of partitions on a single HD? [00:15] see this is the problem [00:15] AkiRa_: no, it's not [00:15] soreau, tried nothing changed. :S also when i cat /proc/scsi/scsi it gives this http://pastebin.com/g1jSbwZJ [00:15] don't sound like a iraqi microsoft helpdesk gal [00:16] that asks me if my computer is plugged in [00:16] AkiRa_: don't make derogatory comments [00:16] AkiRa_: Faulty RAM can cause a variety of strange issues. You'll never know for sure unless you test it [00:16] AkiRa_: you need guidence, I am guiding you [00:16] AkiRa_: hence why I'm telling you the easy way to discount something that is a very common problem, [00:16] I don't need to test my ram - because i know what faulty ram does on a multitude of platforms and i have several programs [00:16] AkiRa_: you're in here asking for help - use the help been given to you [00:16] Alperen: Weird. Make sure it works in the other distro or try a live session and file a bug report [00:16] that diagnose such on a floppy drive to this day [00:17] soreau, ok i will try it thank you [00:17] so if ram isn't the issue what is your next step [00:17] AkiRa_: you clearly have no idea what you're saying, so I'm going to leave you to waste your time [00:17] So, this probably gets asked a lot, so I'm hoping you guys have an easy answer. I need to figure out what to do with my mom once 11.04 gets end of lifed [00:17] she hated unity and gnome-shell [00:17] will there by any chance be a PPA to maintain gnome2? [00:17] this is exactly what im talking about [00:17] AkiRa_: you've not discounted ram - you refuse to do so, so good luck resolving your problems [00:17] nemo: no, it's dead [00:17] you say come back in 12hours [00:17] AkiRa_: yes, to discount something [00:17] because you don't have an answer [00:17] im a MCP [00:17] AkiRa_: I need to discount the common things [00:17] AkiRa_: This is the ubuntu support channel. If you don't need help or don't want to use the information provided to help you, then you shouldn't have anything to say [00:17] there is no common ground here [00:17] if it was a ram problem i would have fixed it [00:17] long ago [00:17] She disliked gnome-panel because it was missing her applets and was a lot less customisable (can't even move the clock out of the centre of the screen) [00:18] AkiRa_: you don't know if there is a ram problem [00:18] i have 30 sticks in my room [00:18] she liked xfce4.8 better, but found it a bit unintuitive, which is fair. still has rough edges. [00:18] then why can i run other ubuntu versions? [00:18] nemo: Why not have her use 10.10 or 11.04? [00:18] I'm guessing my only option is to migrate her to kde [00:18] AkiRa_: good luck fixing it then - I'm done. I'm going back to using my totally stable Linux system which I've used for many years and built up many years of experience with. [00:18] soreau: she *is* using 11.04 - I was just trying to plan for when 11.04 is ended [00:18] using ffmpeg how can i just convert a section of the video..for instant from 45:01 to 47:12 [00:18] soreau: I told her not to update, and was showing her these options on my laptop when I came to visit [00:18] Hey guys, i'm playing with 11.10 on a liveusb but when I try to boot up it asks for a user name and password. This has never happened before with other distros. Any ideas? [00:19] nemo: alt-right-click, move.... unfurtunately the app will snap to either a side or the center of the panel [00:19] Robert2011: shouldn't ask you, try ubuntu/ubuntu [00:19] octobrain: side is better - what about the missing applets? :) [00:19] urlin2u - win7 has been resized .. reformatted .. reinstalled .. many times ... 700gb hdd .. 500 for win7 200 for ubuntu .. I can make the partitions fine with gparted. gparted does not give me the option to mount / ... when i get to the install screen it tells me to select drive for boot loader ... then it hangs .. if sda is selected then there is nothing in the box where the partitions should [00:19] be .. if i change to a stick the partitions for that stick are there [00:19] tried that but it didn't work [00:19] octobrain: she has hers setup to one panel on top, autohiding, no bottom panel. [00:19] Robert2011: Try ubuntu as user and blank pass [00:20] okay. i'll try that [00:20] she'll have to add them all again I think... I'm doing that now... upgraded from 11.04 to 10 last night and I'm a little peeved with the modified set-up [00:20] Robert2011: it really shouldn't ask you for a username/password though, it should just log you in to the desktop [00:20] octobrain: oh. you are using gnome-panel successfully? [00:20] i have no problem running other destros- or windows- so why would your first question be come back in 12hours to check my ram [00:20] this is simply the problem with 11.1 [00:20] octobrain: can it be customised to something roughly approaching gnome2? [00:20] Is it possible to install Ubuntu from the USB our installing from? [00:21] i just had to shut my box three times because entire screen was highlighted and i could not text [00:21] octobrain: oh. she's also using a single button for her menu instead of the separate applications/places. [00:21] AkiRa_: follow the advice or stop complaining [00:21] nemo: Another option may be to migrate to something less wild like debian [00:21] nope... it's all gnome / gtk 3 now I think. which means a lot has changed (no system or pref's menu) [00:21] soreau: hmmmm. [00:21] soreau: that would require another visit in person, but not a bad idea I 'spose [00:21] your advice is as worthless as every other piece of advice here - side step the problem blame someone else [00:21] nemo: I'm considering it myself as opposed to 11.10 [00:22] hello, is there any convenient way to edit a bootable ISO file in UDF format? iso master doesn't seem to handle UDF. [00:22] soreau: of course, if debian can maintain gnome2 for longer, surely an ubuntu PPA could. oh. wait. n/m. it is the whole ecosystem isn't it [00:22] i can run redhat with 0 errors win 7 no errors xbuntu no errors [00:22] soreau: they maintain patches and backports and whatnot [00:22] for all their packages. [00:22] i install 11.1 errors galore [00:22] nemo: debian are not maintaining gnome [00:22] and you tell me to check my ram [00:22] your a fucking retard [00:22] AkiRa_: you've said - stop moaning [00:22] AkiRa_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:22] AkiRa_: You're just spinning your wheels by trolling. You should take the time to run a memtest anyway, as regularly scheduled maintenance [00:23] funny / annoying part is I just switched from debian... had a perfect system for a week and then it upgraded to 11.10 [00:23] I really don't like unity [00:23] soreau: ok. welp. at least I have a few more ideas now. Start fiddling w/ how close I can make KDE get to what she is familiar w/ in gnome2... switch to debian... [00:24] aaand octobrain seems to thing that gnome-panel can be made close-ish to what she expects [00:24] I guess I should play w/ that more and see how close [00:24] ubidoobi, you don't need to mount any partition, are you in the install to a preformatted partition in the something other option, choosing / for mount and the correct partition. It sounds like you know what your doing basically, except I don't undersdtand why you want gparted to mount a partition, the disl manager usually will if needed. You might take a screen shot of the the something other gui and when you open it to choose a partion to install [00:24] to and imagebin them. [00:24] octobrain: If you don't like it don't use it. You can always switch back to gnome. [00:24] quit [00:24] Is there a way to install ubuntu 10.10 to the Live USB it's installing from? [00:24] yeah, but it's not the old gnome... it's the new one, and lots has changed [00:24] wolfmitchell: if it's pre-partitioned, yes [00:25] * octobrain makes do === jdoom01 is now known as slaughterhound [00:26] ubidoobi, sorry for any misspelling. [00:26] hm. another option I guess is setting up 11.10 in a VM and giving her like a year to get used to it there :) [00:27] maybe she'll adapt to gnome-shell eventually [00:27] urlin2u - ... i have screen shots posted here ... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1868082&highlight=dameion [00:27] * octobrain just discovered that the latest gedit doesn't run the R-plugin anymore.. that sux [00:27] urlin2u ... spelling is not an issue! :) [00:28] now to see if blander 2.6 workx [00:28] when I log into a server, I'm presented with the current state of the box. It's kind of like top output, only in a way nicer looking format. What's producing that? [00:29] urlin2u - if i could make it to the part on the install disk where i am to set the mount points i would .. however i don't make it that far during the install .. and the only time that i do make it that far is if i try and install to a usb stick [00:30] seems like rendering has slowed down since my upgrade [00:30] ubidoobi, I'm not a member there anymore I resigned my help for personal reasons I can't read the images without being a member. [00:30] * octobrain is considering going back to debian [00:30] urlin2u ... i can send you the images ..

[00:41] im booting into windows now [00:43] hi, vga switchersoo should work out of the box? [00:43] ubidoobi, so you have the root bigger then home way to big really for your dual partitioning, most choose 10 to 15 gigs for root. Really the dual partitioning is not really needed anymore, if it was me I would just put a ext 4 in that extended partition and just install to it. YOU also have a large ext3 that windows wont read I am curious why. [00:44] sorry connection dropped [00:44] ods86: yes but you need to stop X first [00:44] I forgot my route.. looks like i might be missing genmask form it [00:44] soreau: can't find the switcheroo folder... [00:45] ods86: Shouldn't it be somewhere in /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/ ? [00:46] urlin2u ... i'm merely amateur ... not aware of limitations and such .. why isn't dual parting not needed? ... if i want win 7 and ubuntu on the same hdd ? .. sorry ... i should know more after 7 days of trying to install ... [00:46] soreau: not there, that's the problem [00:46] ods86: Can you show the output of 'lspci|grep VGA'? [00:47] urlin2u - if there is another option that i can install both of these without having to go through all the partitioning schemes .. i'm open to them ... i won't give up until i have both running on this drive lol [00:48] soreau: moment have to find my laptop [00:48] ubidoobi, it is a personal preference dual partitions a root and home were basically so you could install the next release and keep home, never used it personally. I would just delete the ext3 both the root and home then the extended., and just choose the install to empty space and let ubuntu do the rest. [00:48] problem solved with Thunder. somehow a theme managed to install a launcher for Unity. hmm.. I think. so launching from Unity would fire up 2 instances. [00:49] whats the txt command for uninstalling [00:50] sudo apt-get remove [00:50] urlin2u ... i will try that .. so i will delete those parts ... leaving the windows part of course .. then i'm left with unallocated space of 200 gb ... should i make a smaller partition if there are limitations or leave it at 200 gb and let the installer handle it ? [00:51] soreau: ati technologies inc madison [amd tadeon hd 5000m series] [00:51] ods86: That's the only output? [00:52] HarryS - I thought I was somehow logged in twice :) I often use harrys as a nick [00:52] soreau: apparently, but if i blacklist the "radeon" module my notebook is still working [00:53] ods86: Then it's not detecting dual gpu's, thus you have no need for vgaswitcheroo [00:53] ods86: blacklisting radeon will only prevent the radeon kernel module from loading in which case it will still work and X will fallback to the vesa driver [00:53] ods86: not sure why you'd want to do that though.. care to explain the real problem you're having?

[01:01] script=screen [01:01] hello [01:02] meomic, sounds like it might be hardware data corruption? [01:02] I'd like to allow users to cat files in /web/*/logs/* with sudo, but putting that entry in with globbing is opening up holes so people can then cat /web/myapp/logs/../../../var/log/messages [01:02] no cuz its only one screen - the rest i can read without any problem [01:02] how can i stop the madness [01:04] meomic, when you say "screen", do you mean a physically sperate monitor, or just a window? [01:05] "window" on a ubuntu server 10.04 lts [01:06] I am having simple terminal navigation problems [01:06] ok. does that window only get corrupted from one particular app, or from any/all apps? [01:06] can someone help [01:06] ive saw it happens ocassionally - doesnt matter what app [01:06] Pen16: perhaps [01:06] Pen16: sure, what's up?

I'm stuck because, i can't find a file which will allow me to upgrade [01:07] all those files exist but its telling me they dont [01:07] meomic, what distinguishes that corrupted window from the other windows which don't get corrupted? [01:08] ubidoobi, you can just let the installer do the work, just choose the install to free space, after having the 200 gig unallocated. [01:08] Pen16: ls -l should show them all [01:08] Guest11838: you might want to re-install from scratch [01:08] i'll even move one directory at time and list them [01:08] you cant read any text its like only ||| <--- like that chars there [01:08] Question: Back in the day, I used to switch between virtual desktops (using Xwindows) by simply moving the mouse to the left or right edge of the screen. I'm trying to do the same thing in Ubuntu(10.04), but there only seem to be keyboard shortcuts. Am I only able to configure keyboard shortcuts it seems; Am I wrong? [01:08] Guest11838: backing up any important files to an external drive [01:08] but it still says directory doesn't exizt [01:09] meomic, I mean other than the fact that it becomes corrupted, what else distinguishes it from the others? position on the screen? [01:09] where it should be "abcdee" it is "|\\|\" <<- and other crazy chars which i even dont have on keyboard [01:09] Can I re-install ubuntu using the new version? [01:09] ooops, nm [01:09] urlin2u ... i will post a picture of it ... when i get the space allocated [01:09] nothing - its a server based distro - dont have x-org [01:09] i guess they're called 'workspaces' now so i googled that: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=27251 [01:10] i even copying the exact output of the listing for the directory and put it in the code and still doesn't recognize [01:10] Harry_Slaughter: I think that's it's an option in Compiz [01:10] the tool still runs there correctly - just cant read its output to the shell (im connected to it using ssh) [01:11] meomic: I'm coming in a bit late on this issue, but it sounds suspiciously like a character encoding problem to me [01:11] when im changing directories does it always need a backslash [01:11] JokesOnYou77, my laptop is 6 years old and doesn't always like compiz :) [01:12] Can I re-install ubuntu using the new version? I have the 10.04 on my other laptop [01:12] Harry_Slaughter: Understood. Are you on Gnome? [01:12] JokesOnYou77, yes [01:12] it sounds like ssh is intermiddently sending control/escape sequences to the console [01:12] because in order for me to reach my roms directory it would only accept it if i left out the backslash [01:12] anyone use ubuntu [01:12] JokesOnYou77, compiz mostly runs fine, but this is my work laptop and want to keep it running fast. [01:12] lee__: yeah [01:13] lee__ you need to go to #osx [01:13] anyone [01:13] Guest11838: you can re-install any version [01:14] Pen16: backslash denotes separate directories [01:14] Ok I tried networking room but it's quiet in there...

If my connection drops I will be back (working on the lines outside). [01:14] is linux more secure then mac [01:14] Harry_Slaughter: I'm not certain that there's an option in Gnome for what Compiz calls "switch on mouse" It's possible, though I'm really not sure, that you may be able to set it so that it will switch desktops with the mouse apprching if you hold down a particular key [01:14] and windows [01:14] cool, thanks graingert [01:14] Guest11838: it's just a reformat and fresh install [01:14] Guest11838: you must remember to backup your shiz [01:14] *files [01:14] alright. XD [01:14] hello [01:14] rann: howdy [01:14] yeah thats what i figured [01:14] can i video chat on here [01:15] JokesOnYou77: i'm trying this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=27251 [01:15] Harry_Slaughter, focus follows mouse was removed in gnome3 (you can google to see some complaints/comments about it) [01:15] but it wouldn't understand if i put it in there sometimes [01:15] rann: No. IRC is text based. [01:15] Kubikiri, cisco switches are nice, but they aren't routers, so you can't usually use them for the average internet access. lacking nat and dhcp among other things [01:15] hi guys is anyone having a problem with xchat chatwindow scroll bars not showing ?

[01:16] Harry_Slaughter, sorry misread the questoin [01:17] lee__: Ubuntu is often touted as being more secure than most other operating systems, but that depends very strongly on how things are set up and what you want to use your system for. [01:17] I have a feeling I'm missing something really stupid. [01:17] Kubikiri, your switch isn't much more than a fancy hub. what happens if you bypass it an connect directly to your router [01:17] hey genii-around thanks me and my girl wana play how do or where do we do video [01:17] I can connect fine [01:17] escott JokesOnYou77 : yes, it does work, you can set it up using: /usr/bin/brightside-properties (if you have brightside installed) [01:17] I just have to restart the connections [01:17] Harry_Slaughter: I'm not really familear with that program, but it would be cool if you can get it to work [01:18] Harry_Slaughter: Nice!

[01:18] JokesOnYou77, it was actually already enabled but the switch delay was set too high, so i never saw it work [01:18] No mac filtering at all [01:18] we just got a new web cam and its making my girl horney but we are new and don't know where to video chat using linux [01:18] wmoxam: TweetDeck for chrome === paulie is now known as gizmo [01:19] Harry_Slaughter: rofl, how do you like that?

[01:19] I used to use tweetdeck on Mac [01:19] anyone know what packages contain the intel drivers? [01:19] Kubikiri, then the problem might be media-autonegotiation, if either your computer or the switch is set to auto while the other side isn't then you might not get a connection [01:19] wmoxam: well gwibber works with webkit and a veneer of gtk [01:20] but found it's overkill for my needs [01:20] hello people talk to me [01:20] wmoxam: the tweetdeck for chrome is basically "native" [01:20] That could dp it [01:20] *do [01:20] JokesOnYou77, very. i used redhat crap for over ten years. finally was sick of having to deal with all their F*ups and switched to Ubuntu. Love it, I'm sold. [01:20] graingert: gwibber is super slow [01:20] wmoxam: as it only downloads stuff from twitter [01:20] specs: Dell Optiplex Gx260 with a Intel 845G integrated graphics device [01:20] and it's got kitchen sink type features [01:20] wmoxam: it has all it's resources stored locally [01:20] Kubikiri, that's the only thing I can think of [01:20] it really blows [01:20] wmoxam: if you manly use chrome, the tweetdeck app is the best way to go [01:21] JokesOnYou77, and the wine project has come a long way since i last tried it, so i can run those few winblows apps that i need to [01:21] if you're a firefox user not sure what you should gofer [01:21] ok well we are going to try the skype thing [01:21] rann umwhat is your problem?

Actually, the documentation and community are what have kept me with linux [01:22] nocillis? [01:22] gizmo if you have LibreOffice Impress installed, which comes by default I believe [01:22] rann yes? [01:23] I suppose that might be a first good app to write [01:23] yeah, i don't suppose #windows is as useful as this channel :) [01:23] there's tons of files under /web/*/logs, so i can't be very exacting ... the sudoers file will be huge [01:23] :/ [01:23] di you see my answer nocillis? [01:23] nocilis ta [01:23] I'll check that out thank you. [01:23] rann oh, sorry, didn't see [01:24] ok we want to video chat with somebody to see how our cam works [01:24] rann have you tried Skype? [01:24] rann more importantly, you do have two people with video skype?

[01:25] yes we want to test the cam nocillis [01:25] rann hmm not sure about the chat room but you could try a webcam program in the ubuntu software center [01:25] like which [01:25] rann: cheese [01:26] what do u use? [01:26] i got 4 partitions now ... i'll show you ... in a picture ... 2 unallocated spaces with win7 in the middle .. grrr .. can't merge the 2 unallocated spaces ... [01:26] i like cheese [01:26] and the program [01:26] i have cheese already downloaded [01:26] rann, if you just want to test the camera use cheeze [01:26] rann: You can test the video camera locally first before venturing into video chat programs like skype [01:26] rann start cheese [01:26] rann you should see yourself [01:26] did that [01:27] ubidoobi: well no because it's in the middle [01:27] rann and? [01:27] ubidoobi, you can use gparted on the livecd to move partitions around [01:27] graingert: Turpial is actually half decent [01:27] ok who ever helps me test this thing get to see her boobs [01:27] ubidoobi, you had 200 gigs available after removing the ext type partitions, and you can install to that unallocated space with ubuntu by choosing install to the free area without making partitions for ubuntu, is why I'm confused. [01:27] rann: go fer it [01:27] rann cheese worked? [01:27] i see us just fine [01:27] fonts could be a bit better [01:27] rann so you want to skype someone?

[01:35] thanks anyway [01:35] they'll do [01:35] ubidoobi, okay I see at least 15 gigs I would say the key though is no preformatted partitions for ubuntu is my suggestions it will be easiest this way, just leave a unallocated, with no more than the two windows partions on the hd then choose the install to free space, after your installed you can mess with learning how to build and install to partitions, not difficult but easier to understand when you have a install to look at and maybe a thumb o [01:35] r external to try with. [01:35] rann good luck with whatever it is you are wanting to do with random strangers on the webcams [01:36] graingert what is bitcoin [01:36] aww hell no [01:36] graingert: bad policy.

[01:37] urlin2u ... so if i reboot now and put in my ubuntu live cd ... it should install to sba in the empty partition right ... do i need to format the empty space or will it do it for me? [01:37] and big brother will like it [01:37] rann: at first you'll bee like "i can make monies" then you'll be like "ohh" [01:37] how can I move all the files in one directory to another and preserve the directory structure? [01:37] Can anyone help me with some account administration? I have a user that wants his account name changed and I'm wondering if I can just use "usermod -l newname" to change it and be done, or if there's more I need to do [01:37] Atharva, yes wifi is naturally slow [01:37] *be [01:37] wmoxam, the software center can use the same password you have for yourself that you login with. [01:37] no its not about that [01:37] i think that it is really easy to crack the shorter paswds now but i agree i like to make them whatever length i want [01:37] urlin2u: oh? [01:37] its about adults having fun [01:37] way off topic now [01:38] see ya [01:38] kk [01:38] rann bye [01:38] THANKS GUYS [01:38] i am having fun with my linux- i dont want to see your web cam rann no offense [01:38] urlin2u: I don't see how [01:38] hi [01:38] so. once i have windows and my ubuntu installed can i actually run both of them at the same time? i have 2 monitors. [01:39] yeah i think i was using ubuntu like ten hours ago with a4 digit passwd [01:39] bobustin not unless you are using a virtual box [01:39] ahhh. [01:39] jeeves_moss, use "cp -R" [01:39] bobustin: When you boot up off a MBR or a Master Boot Record; a certain operating system will launch; nothing else will [01:39] bobustin the computer can only boot into one os at a time [01:39] millennia, will that MOVE the files though? [01:39] hello there, i'm having a little trouble compiling libtorrent, i was wondering if anyone could help? [01:39] bobustin what dn4 said, you can run one OS inside the other with a virtual box [01:39] bobustin: if you have a computer who has 4 CPUS and each cPU designated to a certain HDD(Harddrive) then you could boot multiple OS's [01:40] ubidoobi, sda is the master boot record and only considered on a custom install which you havb had trouble with. At that same gui that for where you want the install is a option for install to free space that will do all the work, have the unallocated and no more than the 2 windows partitions if you still have 4 you can't install 4 primaruies or 3 primamru=ies and a extended is the max. [01:40] oh, I thought you wantedto copy them. if you just want to move them "mv " will work fine [01:40] so technically we should be able to boot up 4 operating systems with a quad CPU; but the RAM is an issue [01:41] dn4 ow, that sounds complicated [01:41] also the motherboard memory built in is an issue [01:41] bobustin: You can if you run one or the other as a VMDK using VirtualBox [01:41] nocilis: it probably has never been done [01:41] wmoxam, under what circumstances are you needing a password with the software center? [01:41] nocilis: but it is possible [01:41] wait nocilis if I can think of it; it has been done [01:41] dn4: Linky? it sounds like magic. [01:41] I have a problem I was hoping to get one of you guys to help me with... basically I want a live USB with Ubuntu, but I would like to install and uninstall certain programs in it that aren't default. is this something I can do relatively easy? without having a persistent live USB? [01:41] but requires high end stuff lol [01:41] bobustin: I've also heard that the VMWare (maybe not the free one tho) can run from a raw partition without needing to create a VMDK [01:41] urlin2u ... okay ... so i will put in the disk and boot up ... if this works it'll be a miracle [01:41] jeeves_moss, "mv " [01:42] it is call allocation of computer resources! [01:42] mv 'filename' ~/path/to/destination [01:42] 4 cpus = 4 OS's if allocated correctly; someone will do this eventually if not already [01:42] ubidoobi, it will just have the 2 windows partitions on te hd and a unalloctaed space and choose the install to free space, ubuntu will make the partitions automatically. [01:43] 4oz's [01:43] ubidoobi, don't mount anything just hiot the install button. [01:43] urist_, usb-creator-gtk [01:43] millennia, but that means I have to go into each directory. I'm looking to run it on the root of a directory [01:43] not all motherboards will handle such a creation [01:43] urlin2u ... okay i will do that .. setting up my laptop so i can stay on irc [01:44] qin: I am just creating up ideas [01:44] hello, im back after an update, pretty smooth from 10.04 to 10.10 [01:44] i installed ubuntu and now i cant acess either my ubuntu boot partition or my ubuntu partition [01:44] jeeves_moss, you can run it on the root of the files and sub-directories [01:44] escott, thanks... i will look that up [01:44] qin: I grew up using a Pentium Pro 200 Mhz; windows 95; linux [01:44] dn4: Well, kvm, xen, vmvare, vbox to keep it real [01:44] dn4: I'm fairly certain that you would have to write custom drivers for each component as the video card(s) would have to be able to distinguish between the instructions it received from each core and I'm really not sure how the SATA (or IDE) controllers would handle those kind of concurrent instructions [01:44] ubidoobi, cool [01:44] as long that these files aren't directly under the root directory "/" itself [01:45] JokesOnYou77: nothing stopped people back in the day to write drivers to do such a TASK! [01:45] hey can anyone help me with my wireless [01:45] I cannot log into my system while X is running [01:45] millennia, ok, so if I run "mv // /", it will move all the files, subdirectories, and maintain the structure? [01:45] urlin2u: to leave a review [01:45] !question | texas [01:45] texas: 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 [01:45] texas, it's working [01:45] urlin2u: about how all the twitter clients suck in their own special way :p [01:45] jeeves_moss, yes, it will move the directory itself to the destination [01:45] wmoxam, that is a password for launchpad, not the software center. [01:45] millennia, cool, thanks. [01:46] qin: I don't care who keeps it REAL, it is all about what you want; and making it happen; and you don't need to depend upon any of those [01:46] wmoxam, twitter is a bad habit anyway. [01:46] urlin2u: no, that's software center [01:46] bobustin: you can't access you ubuntu partition from within Ubuntu?? [01:46] dn4: /topic (to know why keep it real) [01:46] How do you guys feel about Ubuntu donating a quarter of it's profits to Indonesian sweatshops?

[01:47] JokesOnYou77, i cant boot into either os [01:47] yeah, that means your password file is toast [01:47] urist_, no you can point it at a normal ubuntu install iso. alternately you can use ubootnetin [01:47] It is wrong.. unforutunately, thats the kind of world we have to live in [01:47] I CAN log in at cli or recovery console [01:47] dn4: Very true, but, unfortuneately, not practical. Also, you would have to run synergy or something across all of them unless you wanted multiple mice/keyboards. But I do really like the idea [01:47] heisenberg: how do you feel about the lack of the human being's ability to stop nature? [01:47] k I have a compaq laptop with a broadcom wireless card that i had working in 11.04 and since the switch no mater what method i try i cant turn on the wifi reciver what should i do [01:47] Atharva, were you able to fix the situation with the switch? [01:48] bobustin: Yikes. Do you get a particualr error? [01:48] scythefwd: drop to tty and login and df -h to see if disks are not full [01:48] JokesOnYou77: just an idea; and we are in an age of technology that has the ability to compensate for such idealistic notions [01:48] Texas, i had to download the driver from broadcom [01:48] same issue"?

[01:49] Can anyone help me with some account administration? I have a user that wants his account name changed and I'm wondering if I can just use "usermod -l newname" to change it and be done, or if there's more I need to do [01:49] just some unknown disk device. i booted into uunto off a drive and all my files are there, im just goin to propabally reformat. i needed to get to that [01:49] i seriously doubt i have or maybe its a lack of understanding on my part [01:49] qin - cant do that while on here... cant seem to launch anything via anything... can get it via guest. [01:49] i downloaded the driver to get it working on 11.04 [01:49] JokesOnYou77: can the user run usermod with out sudo? [01:50] tried to re use it and nothing [01:50] yeah the driver changed for 10.10 [01:50] i just updated [01:50] -_- [01:50] JokesOnYou77: -d -l sould be enough, man usermod [01:50] wmoxam, okay a account associated with the software center a software center account, just make one and save it in a gedit, it is not as if somebody is going to hack your computer and use that account. [01:50] qin, the disks aren't full... My boot drive is 5gb and my main / part is 400+gb [01:50] from 10.04 to 10.10 and had the same problem [01:50] trying to copy a folder remotly using scp. the only error i get is a permission denied to the target folder. i am using 'sudo scp -r -P 0101 abc user@ip:/target folder' any ideas? [01:50] JokesOnYou77, that would change the login name but the $HOME would not be changed which may confuse people down the road [01:50] hi [01:50] urlin2u: Oh, I know I could [01:51] scythefwd: Could you login to terminal [01:51] @dn4: are you implying sweatshops are part of nature? [01:51] urlin2u: that doesn't make it any less lame [01:51] when it went from 11.04 to 11.10 it changed agin [01:51] bobustin: If you don't have any crucial data on it I'd just reformat and reinstall. But before you do, run a live disk or usb and use the hard drive utility to check the SMART status of your drive [01:51] so. will i be able to run windows programs on my ubuntu install? this is my first time using it [01:51] so many services do password requirements incorrectly [01:51] qin - from guest? sudo *username* says it's probibited [01:51] wmoxam, in your mind which can't even remember a password gosh I feel so empathetic (sarcasm) :D [01:51] bobustin, you can use wine [01:52] texas, is it intel based [01:52] JokesOnYou77, the closest thing I've been able to do is to "rmuser" without deleting the home directory, then "adduser" the new username specifying the same uid as the old username [01:52] where would i look [01:52] qin sorry, su *username* says it's not permitted [01:52] Does ubuntu have an ability to access other Ubuntu machines to remotely solve problems? [01:52] just open terminal and type sudo apt-get install wine [01:52] what does wine do? [01:52] scythefwd: No! Alt-Ctrl-F1 (F7 to be back in gui) and login. [01:52] hi [01:52] wine allows you to run windows apps [01:52] i mean the driver [01:52] so ANY windows app wil run? [01:52] most [01:52] bobustin: wine is not a windows emulator [01:52] !wine [01:52] bob - not a chance... [01:52] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [01:52] yeah, i use the lpa version, you probley need the intel version [01:52] bobustin, no and some run just okay. [01:52] qin: sO usermod -l -d -m /home/newname ? And the permissions will all be preserved too? [01:52] dn4, install openssh-server on the machine you want to connect to. thats the easiest way [01:52] qin.. bbl.. gotta reboot and check [01:53] and some crash hard [01:53] urlin2u: I can remember all of my passwords provided they don't have stupid restrictions such as this one [01:53] escott: ssh is the security; what is the rest? [01:53] urlin2u: and they are all unique [01:53] /leave [01:53] urlin2u: and strong [01:53] JokesOnYou77: No, no -m, you will just change name of it. [01:53] I on broadcoms website and i cant find the driver [01:53] millennia: that seems way more complicated lol. I was just going to usermod -l newname and then change the name of the home directory [01:53] texas, hold on i look up the site [01:53] urlin2u - rebooting ... with usb - faster :) [01:54] does ubuntu support dual monitors? [01:54] gratzie [01:54] yeah ill look it up, i got it bookmarked [01:54] JokesOnYou77: Sorry. Wait. [01:54] JokesOnYou77, see if it works? [01:54] urlin2u: anyway, even if I were 'stupid' say, that doesn't excuse bad design [01:54] JokesOnYou77, try it with a dummy test account first, of course :) [01:55] texas, try this man http://techie-buzz.com/foss/wifi-ubuntu-install-broadcom-drivers.html [01:55] dn4, its just a secure shell (ie terminal) server. im not sure "what the rest" you are expecting. if you want to run gui applications use ssh -X username@remotehost [01:55] bobustin: yes [01:55] millennia: rofl, ofc [01:55] wmoxam, i have to carry a print out of my passwords in a notebook everywhere i go [01:55] wmoxam, I don't see the bad design you suggesting that is a personal opinion, not really valid outside3 of your personal bubble of reality. [01:55] JokesOnYou77, you can't just mv the /home/foo you also have to modify /etc/passwd to match [01:56] so will ubuntu be able to run League of Legends?

[01:56] bobustin: what such a task requires is something I learned a long time ago; hacking [01:56] urlin2u: lol [01:57] ok then [01:57] dn4, do you know how to run lol? [01:57] escott: so usermod, won't do that for me? That's why I asked before just doing it, he really just want's his login name changed to his nickname, but I want to make sure permissions are preserved and I don't break anything if I do this [01:57] ahh. maybe you could teach me theese ways dn4 [01:57] bobustin: people in here will tell you certain things but what it really requires is you understanding what your computer is made of and what it can really do and how to take advantage of that using open source [01:57] dn4, bobustin, or just reading [01:57] R3db3ard: :( [01:58] JokesOnYou77, check the usermod man page. you need the -m -d switches but -l is very clear it only changes the login name [01:58] bobustin: If it's a game, you may or may not, I would look at the Wine website before you decide anything. They have great listings and reviews of tested applications [01:59] we should all be playing Nexuiz [01:59] Is there anyone that could help me with a system-tray In windowmaker WM === tum is now known as Guest82113 [02:00] the comands that are on the screen are all smashed together [02:00] yeah, hold on i wrote it down [02:00] what does this mean /me wonders [nexuiz: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.11) but 2.13-0ubuntu13 is to be installed [02:00] Depends: libcurl3 but it is not going to be installed] [02:00] sudo b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o [02:00] JokesOnYou77: agree with escott usermod -l new_user -d /home/new_home -m (test it first) [02:00] Did the Mac OS steal code from BSD?

It keeps booting into a black screen with this at the top "^[[18~^@". Anyone know how to fix this? [02:01] texasrussian: yes, and it's also bad because their devs drink babies blood at night [02:01] scythefwd: startx (from terminal) [02:02] I'll give it a try. Thank you both! [02:02] sudo b43-fwcutter --unsupported -w /lib/firmware broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0/kmod/wl_apsta_mimo.o [02:02] thats the last command [02:02] qin: yes but I just got done arguing with some people and they turned me around so I was wondering why most linux users see the Mac OS as bad.. [02:02] texasrussian: it is [02:03] texasrussian, it's bad because it isn't free like the bsd license they borrowed from [02:03] qin: what do you mean it is? [02:03] qin: substantiate the point though please [02:03] texasrussian: because some people are zealots [02:03] Cannot open input file wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o [02:03] is the error i get [02:03] on my 11.10 system, in aptitude there is a duplicate package for every ubuntu package that i have checked so far, with the only difference being that there is no package description. is anyone else experiencing such things? [02:03] what is cool about mac os X; is that the hardware is free to control [02:03] did you download it? [02:03] at least now due to intel chips [02:03] uin "server is already active for display 0" [02:04] db4 lol wut? [02:04] uin lemme go kill it [02:04] So.. I know this is not technically a linux question.. but I have a drive that I DESPARATELY need help restoring any data I can from. It was a NTFS drive from windows, which got a corrupt partition table. I used Teskdisk to try to rewrite the old one back, which it found correctly, but it seemed to write an empty partition. Now their deep scan finds nothing. Anyone good with data recovery? Or know where I can look for help if #ubuntu is not a go [02:04] texasrussian, saying most is ridiculous you have no proof of that statement nor could you prove that, it is a projection. [02:04] scythefwd: ah, is it Oneiric? [02:04] wmoxam: can't ubuntu run on a mac book pro now days? [02:04] apple basically is profiteering off of freely available software [02:04] texas, give me your ubuntu version [02:04] wmoxam: the hardware is controlled by other open source codes [02:04] Ok, now how do I kill all processes associated with a username? [02:04] that is the freedom we have left [02:05] dn4: sure, but a lot of non-mac OS's can run on G4 processers as well [02:05] yeah i clicked the download links [02:05] urlin2u: I was just making a assumption, most of the linux users I talk to dislike mac. I know a lot of linux users don't like mac... [02:05] texasrussian, because OSX babies the user. it takes the challenge away from computer users. what's going to happen if/when Apple goes away and all of their usergroup lacks the ability to actually 'work' a pc [02:05] 11.10 [02:05] qin - yeah... just tried to kill Xorg... kicked me to the Xorg login.. grrr [02:05] what version you running? [02:05] JokesOnYou77: killall -u username but be careful with killall, sometimes you kill things you don't really wanted to kill [02:06] scythefwd: sudo service lightdm stop [02:06] i'm on a macbook [02:06] can anyone point me to a good channel for hard drive recovery questions?

[02:07] it would be like if microsoft "borrowed" heavily from freely available ubuntu releases, then released their own "microsoft x-windows" for $200/copy and plenty on wpa protection [02:07] R3db3ard: so the main argument against is that it dumbs down the experience for the user?

[02:18] ubidoobi3, seeing gparted will get us closer to a answer. [02:18] sysdoc, you might just want to try rescuelinux. there is no special need to have the ubuntu install system to perform a rescue [02:18] x86 was just the cheapest platform when computer usage skyrocketed [02:19] dn4: most of GNU was not developed on x86 :p [02:19] uin - getting a "using config file /etc/X11/xorg.conf" [02:19] Yusuke, the comparable application is called "system monitor [02:19] urlin2u ... is there anyway i can linnk you to my pc and you can look for yourself (just wondering ) === Skummel2 is now known as Skummel [02:19] uin - getting a "using system file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d [02:19] scythefwd: So xinit does give you xterm?

[02:20] scythefwd: Did you u/installed video drivers? [02:20] i was on a live usb ubuntu flash drive and i updated the os..it said i ran out of space but i still had some freespace when i mounted from my installed OS [02:20] yusuke, probably gonna have to reboot [02:21] That's not a good answer :( [02:21] is their a way i coudl increase the section for ubuntu? [02:21] fellayaboy, as in the partition? [02:21] Yusuke, if your gui is unresponsive and you know what the process name to kill is. ctrl-alt-f1, login, killall processname; ctrl-alt-f7. if you dont know the process name you can use top instead of killall [02:21] well yes i suppose [02:21] fellayaboy, is it a wubi install? [02:22] urlin2u no its a unet [02:22] a unetbootin installation [02:22] lost my ability to set network shares, tried using the gui samba does not work anymore, and cant right click and get shares option... anyone have an idea? 10.04 64 bit [02:22] excuse me its not an installation but i used unetbootin to format the thumb drive [02:22] I'm developing a MIDI device, and I'm attaching the device to my computer via a MIDI-USB cable. Does anyone know of any good USB port monitors so I can capture packets being sent from the device? [02:22] fellayaboy, so it is a thgumb and you have loaded it with unetbootin and want more space. [02:22] so that it could be used as a live cd [02:23] wmoxam: I'd like to be an archon [02:23] Yusuke, hit ctl alt F3 login and type ps auxw , find the firefox pid then type kill -9 pid [02:23] thats correct [02:23] scythefwd: Hm? Can you boot next time holding shift? and choose recovery? [02:23] urlin2u thats right [02:23] fellayaboy, how big is the thumb altogether? [02:24] its about 8gb [02:24] i installed blackbuntu which is about 4gb [02:24] wmoxam: as an archon i'd let everything run amok; like it already is; so I don't need to be; it already is; ad-hominems suck btw [02:24] fellayaboy, did you use the persistence install? [02:24] yes their was an option for that..i set it to the maximum i could [02:25] * R3db3ard is now downloading blackubuntu [02:25] uin - get xterm on vty8 [02:25] urlin2u ... okay both images are there .. sorry about the quality ... quicker than figuring out screenshot :) [02:26] urlin2u i did i remember seeing that option and i set it to the maxium i could [02:26] scythefwd: Do you, run gedit then ;) [02:26] qin - what am I editing? [02:27] Yusuke, maybe you can hit alt F2 and type xkill in the box then click on firefox window (assuming you have xkill installed) [02:27] fellayaboy, if you have maxed it out and filled it making the partition bigger will not fix that, the persistence is in a casper-rw file in home, you would have to make a ext2 partition and name it casper-rw as big as you want, but if you do this you have to remove the original and will loose all the updates and other data. [02:27] scythefwd: just checking if there are a lot of error messages.. [02:27] urlin2u and now when i plug my usb it says i ahve 3.8 freespace so why is blackbuntu usblive telling me i dont have space [02:27] hi zelda [02:27] !info xkill [02:27] Package xkill does not exist in oneiric [02:28] urlin2u in capser i see a filesystem.squashfs thats about 3.8 gb which i believe is bneing used as freespace [02:28] hey [02:28] excuse me its about 3.6 to be precise [02:28] fellayaboy, not sure, to be honest I don't feel like explaing what s alraedy on the web in 1000's of web sites to be honest. [02:28] fellayaboy, that is the root fs of the livecd [02:29] qin popped right up... error bout an icon and a margin property and 0 being out of range for that type of value [02:29] how do I change the theme? [02:29] ubidoobi3, so you can't post a screenshot then, I can't help without one. [02:29] escott i see. so would that make it have enuff freespace..i updated ubuntu from the live cd and it said i had no more freespace [02:29] I have 4 options. I want more [02:29] urlin2u .. the shots are posted [02:29] image bin [02:30] theme for what [02:30] xkill is in x11-utils [02:30] fellayaboy, if it said there wasnt enough free space it probably means not enough free space on your hard drive [02:31] ng-tools [02:31] u2lin2u u know what i think i found a solution by typing in casper rw in linux thanks i think this should work [02:31] ubidoobi3, you have to post the http address for me to see. [02:31] i mean by typig in casper rw in google urlin2u [02:31] scythefwd: You could exit term. just in case: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade, and reboot into recovery (hold shift), and pick from menu reconfigure xserver. [02:32] scythefwd: before it [02:32] escott no its on a liveusb thumb drive [02:32] fellayaboy, lots of ways to go about it you will figure it out.:D [02:32] i'm trying to mount an ntfs drive and i'm getting "mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs'" [02:32] urlin2u - http://imagebin.org/180772 [02:32] how could I have transparency? in Wmaker [02:32] scythefwd: you could stop/start lightdm, and try to login [02:32] i never had luck with live usb [02:33] anyone know what to do? [02:34] thanks qin, know if that will work with burg running? [02:34] ubidoobi3, if your choosing the something other which sounds like what your doing choose install in freespace. [02:34] scythefwd: oh, no clue. [02:34] urlin2u ... rebooting now ... the screen doens't stay long enough to see all 4 options .. will look close this time though ... [02:35] scythefwd: maybe esc? [02:35] otldoc: you should try without the "-f" switch, I think mount will know the fs automatically... [02:35] otldoc, usually you mount them with the ntfs-3g userspace fs driver so its actually a fuseblk filesystem not sure exactly what the mount command would look like [02:37] ubidoobi2, you have two unallocated now which may be causing a problem, put a ntfs in the first one, and you should be able to stay on the choose your install option indefinitely. This will go much faster and smother if you just figure out the screenshot stuff, otherwise it gets convoluted, live shorts of where your at is the best way of just getting this done. [02:37] smoother* [02:38] otldoc: ooop, wrong switch, I mean "-t " switch [02:39] urlin2u .. i posted some pictures on image bin and posted the url here .. taken with a camera though ... tried the screen shot thing in ubuntu .. but didnt[ work .. please bare with me [02:39] urlin2u .. i think the problem is my brain cant figure out such a minute problem lol [02:40] anybody know how I can make gnome shell my default desktop environment?

[04:00] TexasRussian, 830 requests later, still going strnog [04:00] I can't find Google Chrome in Software Center, any ideas? [04:00] look for chromium [04:00] alejandro__: search for chromium, is open source [04:00] When i double click the link, it brings up the "Choose an Application" dialog [04:00] 830 x 3 = 2490 seconds / 60 = 41.5 minutes without a hitch [04:01] make sme hopeful its fixed... [04:01] Roasted: so your wireless just drops the WPA encryption after a while [04:01] TexasRussian, in 10.04 it did using the Intel 2200 BG card [04:01] TexasRussian, I had been using a broadcom since then (yuck) [04:01] TexasRussian, but when I installed 11.10 I also had to replace the internal speakers so I had it gutted. I figured I'd swap wifi cards and see and so far its working, to my surprise... [04:01] Thanks, but as a matter of fact, I just want to uninstall Google Chrome but I can't find it in software center in order to uninstall it...} [04:01] meowsusm do you have the drive setup to be automounted at boot time? [04:02] TexasRussian, I'm just curious if anybody had similar success as I'm currently having, as the Intel 2200 was a problematic card for some people [04:02] TexasRussian, it was the ONE Intel card to avoid using, it seemed. [04:02] Roasted: soo, you don't have a problem? [04:02] millennia, yes, i believe so [04:02] It's mounted without me doing anything after boot [04:02] strange [04:03] did you make a hard link or a symlink? [04:03] Is it okay to keep running a production server in the recovery mode? [04:03] ln -s /media/the-drive/Music/ Music [04:03] alejandro__, "sudo apt-get purge remove chrome" in terminal :) [04:04] Which worked when I was using Ubuntu before, now Lubuntu seems to not like it [04:04] tomoyuki28jp, no! [04:04] TexasRussian, so far, no. I'm just curious if anybody else has had such luck with this card. [04:04] Thanks TexasRussian, I like the look of that command [04:04] Wait a sec [04:04] Roasted, lol, ok and no I didn't have that problem [04:04] The drive isn't even in my /etc/fstab [04:04] alejandro__, no problem dude [04:04] choel: How the recovery mode different from the normal one? [04:04] TexasRussian, I guess considering it's an older card I didn't expect it to work. So I'm a little shocked at the moment [04:05] It can't find chrome... [04:05] Roasted, yeah a lot of network cards that didn't work in earlier releases now work in 11.10 [04:05] tomoyuki28jp, if you have to run it in recovery mode there's something wrong, and that should be fixed on a production server. I wouldn't do it. [04:05] it can't? [04:05] TexasRussian, I wonder if it worked in 11.04 even... I never tried 11.04 on here. [04:06] meowsus, what I'm seeing for "man ln" implies that it can't be used to link directories across different volumes. but I can't be sure [04:06] choel: thanks a lot for your advice. [04:06] alejandro__, try "sudo apt-get purge remove chrome*" [04:06] So I should use a hard link, you're saying [04:06] okay [04:06] No luck. [04:07] tomoyuki28jp, the differences is graphic and network mostly. could be other things that maybe some one else her could answer on. [04:07] hmmm [04:07] hold up [04:07] meowsus, a hard link might work, but it doesn't even sound certain for that [04:07] alejandro__, you may want to try http://linuxconfig.org/ubuntu-linux-google-chrome-browser-download-install-and-usage#12-how-to-uninstall-google-chrome-from-ubuntu-linux look on the right for how to uninstall [04:08] alejandro__, using chromium maybe? [04:08] choel, chromium is not installed [04:08] Is there a way to set some startup- applications in Wmaker [04:08] Thanks TexasRussian, I'll try that [04:09] alejandro__, no problems [04:09] alejandro__, ok. [04:09] (23:08:59) alejandro__: choel, chromium is not installed - already tried to¿ [04:09] alekandro__, you may also try "sudo dpkg -r google-chromium" or "sudo dpkg -r google-chrome" [04:10] alejandro__: TexasRussian or you could just go to google chrome's download page [04:11] xangua, lol, didn't even think of that ^_^ [04:11] problems installing mysql it will not start up http://pastebin.com/chuezG8q [04:11] I had so many troubles with mysql, in the end I ditched it and used pgsql [04:12] hi guys, i am having some trouble with wubi.exe [04:12] i never had problems this is the first time installing 11.10 [04:12] I am using ubuntu 3D and I have two unity panels [04:12] this would be the second time i used it to install 11.10 [04:12] or dash panels [04:13] Do you guys have Google Chrome in Software Center?

Will Ubuntu be easier or better than CentOS for this case? [04:16] OK I'll try that [04:17] also "|" [04:17] I still have some tricks under my sleeve... [04:17] lol [04:17] i did the unity --reset and now my panel is all messed up [04:18] I think I messed things up when I installed the google chrome PPA w/o uninstalling Chrome first. [04:18] alejandro__: there is no google chrome ppa [04:18] ok panel looks good but I still have two dash panels [04:18] lol [04:18] I'm trying to have a program executed for each file find returns [04:18] (given a path and filespec to work with) [04:19] jdjbmedina: an image says more than a thousand worrs¿ ;) [04:19] is there any reason i should pick centos VS ubuntu for simplicity [04:19] hi. Does anyone know how to make the current tab in gnome terminal stand out more ? [04:19] i have a snapshot but how do i send it [04:19] yamahaalex: looks like an offtopic theme ;) [04:19] imageshack.us [04:19] xangua, Ubuntu vs CentOS is off topic? [04:20] now it's a tiny bit more bright in the title, but it's hard to see [04:20] while editing /etc/fstab what should the options be for root? i know that /home should be "nodev,nosuid: and my external should be "defaults" but what should / be? [04:20] right now its "errors=remount-ro" [04:20] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Find [04:21] Hi [04:22] I was using kazam screencatcher on ubuntu 11.04,but it don't seem to work on 11.10?Is there any other screencatcher i can use?

The article says PPA... [04:28] k1llaByte, hope that helps :) [04:28] alejandro__: i have already told you three times you can either install chromium-browser from repository wich is free/libre or you can download google chrome from it download page [04:28] xangua, I think he is trying to uninstall chrome. [04:28] xangua: okay I get it. [04:29] alejandro__ what are you trying to do, did you already uninstall chrome? [04:29] http://my.imageshack.us/v_images.php [04:29] TexasRussian: I could remove it but installing a .deb that overwrote it and the installed the version I wanted. [04:30] alejandro__ wait what? you just wanted to update it? [04:31] TexasRussian: Yes. [04:31] !netsplit [04:31] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [04:31] alejandro__, all you had to do is go to the wrench icon on the right of chrome, scroll down and click about chrome, and it would update.. [04:31] ok i posted it to http://my.imageshack.us/v_images.php [04:32] http://profile.imageshack.us/user/jdjbmedina/ [04:32] TexasRussian: That feature is disabled in Linux...

[04:40] !pastebin http://profile.imageshack.us/user/jdjbmedina/ [04:40] kk_: but why is the real question [04:40] ^_^ [04:40] !nounity | jdjbmedina === root is now known as Guest18785 [04:40] jdjbmedina: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [04:41] Whats a good program to monitor server load from the command line - top isnt really cutting it [04:41] worstadmin: have you tryed htop ? [04:41] htop [04:41] ok thanks [04:41] jdjbmedina: gnome-fallback may be it. Sisnce gnome-panel was always replacable. [04:42] hi [04:42] supp. [04:42] yeah I tried gnome fallback and it does not work well either [04:42] how do i install kde 3.5 ? [04:42] ya i used those those commads after restarting, my machine is again booting into cli in any of tty connection [04:42] Yeah, I'd go with htop - it gives a lot more information than top. My usual Screen setup for monitoring my server has it in the upper right-hand pane. [04:42] the only one that works is classic and I am tired of classic gnome [04:42] kk_: try startx [04:42] looks lke I might have to move to another desktop environment [04:43] yes i did that one too... [04:43] anyone have one they like [04:43] how is kde? [04:43] jdjbmedina: Plastic, still [04:43] do u people suggest me to testaon a physical machine rather than a vm? [04:43] kk_: sudo /ect/init.d/gdm start [04:43] can anyone help me with this mic issue i have with teamspeak 3 pls? [04:43] who you calling you people :>?) [04:44] kk_: or xinit -- :1 vt8 [04:44] what is plastic [04:44] lol you people [04:44] kde [04:44] Oh i'm sorry Bob weaver [04:44] any others besides kde [04:44] jdjbmedina, kde 4.7 is pretty good, sleek, and polished. BUT, it uses a bit more resources than I would personally like, I prefer Gnome 3.2 [04:44] jdjbmedina: LXDE [04:44] I love kde lxde ad zfce [04:45] xfce and * [04:45] flux is also fun [04:45] what is flux? [04:45] fluxbox [04:45] !fluxbox [04:45] fluxbox is a lightweight and responsive window manager for GNU/Linux. For how to set it up and more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fluxbox [04:45] jdjbmedina: Google is your friend.

[04:46] qin: when i use that command i got a blank screen !! [04:46] os__, google ^_^ [04:46] ok [04:47] !kde | os__ [04:47] os__: KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu.

[04:50] kk_: You xserver is not properly installed, maybe sudo apt-get -f install [04:50] qin: i will try to re install that [04:51] I attempted to install Ubuntu inside win 7 on an HP Elitebook 8560w, but the Linux installation wouldn't start on reboot. Win 7 still works, and I am not able to get the laptop to detect a working DVD installation of Ubuntu. Laptop still goes to the menu giving you the option of selecting Ubuntu or Win 7. How do I get the old edition of Ubuntu off of my computer? I went into the bios and [04:51] didn't see many options. HP has no support at all, and I just sent a letter to Meg Whitman requesting a refund. [04:52] Meg Whitman? [04:52] Meh. [04:52] kk_: Wait, sudo apt-get install xorg lightdm gnome-shell should do. [04:52] * bobweaver smiles [04:52] okee, remove from the remove apps on the control center. [04:52] in* [04:53] kk_: Or get desktop version from ubuntu.com, for less shocking expirience [04:53] Meg Whitman is the CEO of HP. [04:53] okee, control panel hehe. [04:53] So How do I remove the remove apps on the control center? is this in Win 7? [04:53] I don't see ubuntu as an installed software. [04:53] eff Meg Whitman :>) [04:53] wubi? [04:53] okee, in the control panel on the admin of W7 is a reve apps go there and remove wubi. [04:53] DId you use Wubi to install I'm assuming, AM)? [04:54] remove* [04:54] That's it then... [04:54] Are you referring to windows Or Ubuntu? [04:54] phalanx101: whats it ? [04:54] qin: i think it is installing gnome applets.. [04:54] okee: In control panel, add/remove programs, remove wubi? [04:54] From what I remember at least. Look at the install size. Also, ther is an Ubuntu folder in your C drive, correct? I'm referring to Wubi being your ubuntu install... [04:55] qin: using "sudo apt-get install xorg lightdm gnome-shell" cmd [04:55] kk_: It will install 200Mb+ of stuff [04:55] I don't think I saw it in there, but I will double check. [04:55] okee, be careful start with the control panel add/remove programs. [04:56] I am just booting into Win 7 now. [04:56] okee: that is not good news :D [04:56] okee: OK, speak to you in a few minutes.... [04:56] Ok, you should be able to uninstall it by removing the wubi program from control panel. However, IDK if this will mess up your GRUB bootloader though... can't remember from the last time I messed around with Wubi... [04:57] phalanx101, no grub with a wubi. [04:58] qin: i do have one more doubt.. regarding user management, presently iam using ad services in 2003 winowds , is there any way that i can integrate ad with linux server or do i have to manually create users in ubuntu server [04:58] I don't see wubi in the add/remove area of Win 7 [04:59] okee, did it actually install? [04:59] okee: How did you install ubuntu then? [04:59] okee: look for "Ubuntu", not "Wubi" === Mud is now known as Guest95591 [05:00] okee, did you ever actually run t or has it not run from the first reboot which is actually the install. [05:00] I see it in the menu, but when I select the ubuntu, I just get a purple screen and nothing else.. I don't know what it did, but it isn't good. And I can't get the laptop to boot off of the ubuntu disk. I went into the bios and everything looks ok. I was thinking of shutting off the fast boot to see if it helps. [05:00] which one do you prefer: OpenJDK or Sun Java? [05:00] ubuntu has never run since the install. [05:00] okee, when you get the purple screen, what does your HDD light do? [05:01] I don't recall. STandby and I will retry it. [05:01] !java [05:01] To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [05:01] okee, the install is the first reboot when you click it before that reboot and put the user name passwros and size it just loads the ISO. Did id actually install in that first reboot? [05:02] I think it did install. [05:02] okee, it would had to reboot the first time to a install did that actualy happen?

[05:11] paulus68, evmunro actually i dont have internet connectivity on ubuntu pc [05:11] ah [05:11] my bad [05:11] kk_: I am not sure that I understand the question [05:11] :D [05:12] paulus68, evmunro so i need to do it offline [05:12] well then, put in the CD, and it should ask to upgrade/update' [05:12] evmunro, ok i will do it [05:12] is there a way to compile an iphone app to run on a jailbroken iphone using ubuntu? [05:13] evmunro, to which homegroup do i belong to ?? [05:13] !conduct | ozzloy [05:13] ozzloy: The Ubuntu Code of Conduct is a community etiquette document to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere, and can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/ | For information on how to electronically sign the CoC, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SigningCodeofConduct [05:13] If the update doesn't work, back up your data and do a fresh install.......it usually works better than an update as some things don't update correctly [05:13] hold on [05:13] i have the source to an iphone app https://github.com/ozzloy/frc-driver-station but no way of compiling it [05:13] bobweaver, was that a mistake? [05:13] conduct? [05:13] evmunro, ok i see [05:13] bobweaver: i have created users in winows server in Active Directory (user management service ) , if i migrate to linux server , do i need to create all users once agin in linux too? or can integrate windows AD service with linux? [05:14] kk_: If you want user authentication against an AD server, you can use kerberos, or winbind+samba. It's definatly possible to use AD with linux servers, but I'm not entirely sure how. Google might help :) [05:14] Iwould say that it is not a ubuntu question but more of a off topic question or a apple question [05:14] ozzloy: ^^^^^^^^^^^^ [05:14] Hello evry1. I would like to print and or save the contents of my panels as a tree. Is this possible? TIA! [05:14] I don't know what homegroup you belong to...u should have set it up [05:14] why do u need this? [05:14] Thelmaria: sure i will google on it.. [05:14] bobweaver, yeah, you think they'd listen to the question at apple? [05:15] i figured of the two venues this one would be more open [05:15] apple's answer is "buy a mac ;)" [05:15] ozzloy: this is main channel try ubuntu-offtopic [05:15] evmunro, can u please tell me how to do it [05:16] ozzloy: did you try the apple forums? [05:16] no, i admit that i did not. i did just join #offtopic though, i'll ask there [05:17] evmunro, actually i have to share some files between linux and windows pc [05:17] paulus68, do you know of one in particular? if not i'll just google for one [05:17] ozzloy: I only know a dutch forum not much help to you I am afraid [05:17] prashant_123456, first run "sudo apt-cdrom add" no quotes in terminal. After that run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" no quotes. That will add the cd to your sources list, then update [05:18] yeah not so much. thanks though. i guess i'll give the apple forum a shot [05:18] prashant_123456, make sure u put the CD into the drive first! [05:18] evmunro, that really works? [05:18] zelozelos, should. Why would it not? [05:19] bobweaver : hey , i think i have messed up with some thing, though i got gui login screen , iam unable to login (may be wrong password) can u help me in resetting password ? is is the same way that we do in rhel? login to init 1 and changing pasword? [05:19] evmunro, ok i will do it [05:20] prashant_123456, forgot something, a much easier way! You can also just boot from the new ubuntu cd, and when it boots up, where you get the initial select to "erase" or "install", there will be an upgrade option. [05:20] kk_: command is passwd [05:20] Well I got Ubuntu off of here, but now need to figure out how to get the laptop to recognize the disk at bootup. I am ok with a second partition. I have lots of room. [05:21] okee, there is a key prompt at powering on that will get you the outside of the bios boot from menu try f12. [05:22] bobweaver: i got message "Authuntication token manipulation error, password unchanged" [05:24] kk_: IDK pull the shadow or hash and crackit [05:24] I think I am going to install in the morning. I need some sleep. See you all later........... [05:24] hey guys now i am running 10.04 from 6-7 months and did not faced any problems, but now a days system is rebooting and shuting down slowly, can you suggest me some software like 'disk cleanup' or some thing similar, though i have not used such software in past [05:24] bobweaver :( ok [05:25] Is it possible to save the contents of a panel to a text file? TIA! [05:25] kk_, you trying to get back into a windows or linux setup? [05:25] kk_: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword [05:26] kk_, if its linux bobweaver has the link for you. [05:26] pratz, u can use the autoclean terminal command to start off get :'"sudo apt-get autoclean" [05:26] evmunro, hmm if that works then would this work ? sudo mount -o loop ~/Desktop/ubuntu-11.10-alternate-i386.iso /media/cdrom0 [05:26] bobweaver: its linux ,ya i'm trying that one [05:27] oneiric server doesnt power off after halt: it outputs "system halted" to stdout but doesnt power off [05:27] zelozelos, for upgrading from an .iso, first do "sudo mount -t iso9660 ubuntu-6.10-alternative-i386.iso /cdrom -o -loop" [05:28] then the same as for a cd [05:28] then to unmount do "sudo umount /cdrom" [05:28] evmunro: what does that program exactly do ? [05:29] evmunro, i cant wait to try it out. already have the disk was just waiting till i broke it again to upgrade because i didnt want to wait soo long for it to dl [05:29] bobweaver : i restared the vm and i did and it worked!!!! thanks a lot for you help, [05:29] evmunro: but dude i have not installed many softwares by compiling them [05:29] !hello [05:29] kk_: C()()|_ [05:29] pratz, it removes partial packages, and that kinda stuff. theres also a way to get rid of residual copnfig files [05:29] evmunro, ohh, so with those and the terminal command to do the upgrade i can make a script [05:29] thanks bobweaver and paulus68 [05:30] Thanks a million to all who helped me. [05:30] zelozelos, i guess you could make a script for one-click updates in the future :) [05:31] evmunro: will that command even clean all the .deb packages in /var/cache/apt/archives ? [05:31] evmunro, oh wait, You can only upgrade using the CD if you have the basic installation. If you happened to have some packages which are not on the CD, you may need to download the DVD version. === Plinker_ is now known as Plinker [05:31] pratz, depends. I think it just cleans old and unneeded packages [05:31] turn off the machine and try agian [05:32] evmunro, in this case from the net [05:32] zelozelos, you are correct [05:32] dang! [05:32] forget it [05:32] evmunro: because i have made that location my repo and for my other computers i install the softwares from there [05:32] and clean can also :clean : packages that you have not used in a while or packages that are not in repo ny more which is ..... [05:32] evmunro: so can i run autoclean program safely ? [05:32] any not ny [05:33] pratz, You should be able to, although I would suggest doing a quick backup to a thumbdrive, just to be safe :D [05:33] pratz, autoclean just cleans the cache I believe it is safe. [05:34] urlin2u: this is also a part of cache i guess then /var/cache/apt/archives [05:34] any fix for the speaker pop that happens ever few minutes on my Acer. There is no power save in alsa-base.conf. [05:35] Hi all, I'm having an issue with getting proper output from Putty on Ubuntu 11.10, I've tried every suggestion I could find specifically in relation to UTF-8 and NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS option but have not had any luck. Anyone else experiencing this issue ? [05:35] pratz, here is a more detailed link. http://askubuntu.com/questions/3167/what-is-difference-between-the-options-autoclean-autoremove-and-clean [05:36] pratz, to remove old config files (can take up quite a bit of space), open synaptic package manager, then go to the bottom left and click status. then click the "not installed(residual config)" option above it. Tick all the packages you see on the right and press apply. [05:37] urlin2u: my ubuntu mahcine is gone slow these days, whats the best way to speed it up as it was earlier ? [05:37] pratz, hard to say what release, was it a upgrade and what is the cpu and ram? [05:37] pratz, to remove unnecessary locale data, you could also run "sudo apt-get install localepurge" this will remove any unused language files from anything installed === SomeoneWeird is now known as SomeoneWeirdAFK [05:38] Hello [05:38] hi [05:38] urlin2u: 10.04 , 2GB RAM, Core2Duo processor , 320GB Harddisk [05:39] I have problem updating ubuntu 11.10, gnome shell, can someone help me? [05:39] urlin2u: and no upgrade , i did a clean install from the disk a few months ago [05:39] pratz, when you say slow on which apps? [05:39] pratz, your computer shouldnt be that bad then, when did u get the computer, how full is the hdd, are you running compiz effects, do u have a graphics card? [05:40] urlin2u: on startup and shutdown mainly and for some other apps, like browsers, dual split window in vim etc [05:41] is there a chance [05:41] evmunro: no i do not run compiz effects and all the other graphics stuff, i just do not like them, most of the time i spend on terminal, that is the reason why i am worried [05:41] trying to do from jsonrpc import ServiceProxy , ubuntu 11.10 doesnt seem to have a python-jsonrpc package...only python-jsonrpc2 [05:41] oneiric server doesnt power off after halt: it outputs "system halted" to stdout but doesnt power off [05:41] pratz, the browser I run mine saving no cookies no history and a flash block noscript, the other apps not sure, you maybe might install a conky so you can see the amount of resources being used at any time and by what. Is it a 32 bit, or 64? [05:42] pratz, oh ok, then. that's quite strange....any background processes you forgot about? [05:43] Hi.

I installed win 7 on the 80GB one... and today I installed ubuntu on 250GB hdd [05:53] Hi all, I'm having an issue with getting proper output from Putty on Ubuntu 11.10, I've tried every suggestion I could find specifically in relation to UTF-8 and NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS option but have not had any luck. Anyone else experiencing this issue ? [05:53] but yeah, I'm running x64 chrome from google's apt servers [05:53] I've tried purging but that didn't help at all [05:53] when I booted into ubuntu.. tried to mount the 1tb hdd.. and it gave an error msg "mount failed with exit code:2" [05:53] rishikanta, do you remember mount options @ installing? [05:53] then I booted into win 7 and now the 1tb hdd shows blank [05:54] I disconnected the 80gb and 1tb while installing ubuntu [05:54] evmunro, thank you so much tc [05:54] hello [05:55] the 1tb hdd shows blank in both ubuntu and win 7 [05:55] rishikanta, explain please, how do you booting windows now? [05:55] prashant_123456, no problem, glad to help [05:56] I re-connected the 80gb after installing ubuntu and set the hdd priority to 80gb [05:56] my work profile gets a little further, it tells me to upgrade to flash player 10 on youtube [05:56] join #linux [05:56] it boots windows.. and if I set hdd prioriy to 250 one.. it boots ubuntu [05:56] rishikanta, I see. So under windows 1tb hdd is blank? [05:57] yes.. and now it shows blank in ubuntu as well [05:57] rishikanta, actually if that devices was disconnected while installing ubuntu, ubuntu is not the point. [05:58] rishikanta, maybe you can remember other things with your hdd's? [05:58] rishikanta: the 1TB is external? [05:58] all are internal [05:58] I'm not sure what happened.. but the mount failure on ubuntu looked bad [05:58] <^g33k_> hello [05:59] rishikanta, how did you tryed to mount? [05:59] just clicked on the left side where it shows all the partitions [06:00] rishikanta: Try rebooting only with the 1tb connected [06:00] from nautilus, I mean [06:00] and see what happens [06:00] ok [06:00] rishikanta, then highlight us ^) [06:01] the 1tb doesn't contain any OS... so shud I boot from ubuntu cd or something? [06:01] no, maybe you installed by mistake ubuntu on the 1tb, just check don't do anything else [06:02] I had similar problem with 500gb [06:02] I'm sure I installed it on 250gb only.. I created the logical paritions from 250 only [06:03] shaiang, he said he disconnected all other hd's while installing ubuntu. [06:03] ok [06:03] So it is not possible to have eraised hdd while installing. [06:03] no [06:03] no way [06:04] It seems like the hdd changed his properties [06:04] #cention pastebin === barna is now known as bipul [06:05] Try to reboot without the 1tb once, then with the 1tb (on ubuntu) [06:05] ok [06:05] is there a bug in oneiric that stops the VPN from connecting? I just can't get it to connect [06:06] also, when I got the mount failed on ubuntu for 1tb.. the next time I booted into windows.. it ran a disk check on the 1tb hdd [06:06] nothing seemed unusual in the console... but is it possible it got corrupted there? [06:07] on a scale of 1 to 10 how difficult would it be to disable Unity altogether and switch back to Gnome on a brand new installation of 11.10?

[06:09] in 11.10 [06:09] airlynx, by default ubuntu 11.10 have gnome3 installed by default. Do you want gnome3 interface or 'like gnome 2'? [06:09] I haven't tried safe mode [06:09] rishikanta, are you in ubuntu now? [06:09] and right now.. I am on ubuntu but on my laptop [06:10] the problem is on my desktop [06:10] ghabit, I guess it would be the older gnome, I've had 10.04 on my laptop for some time and a friend wanted it on her laptop, so I downloaded and installed 11.10 and she has no idea how to use it [06:10] rishikanta, can you come here with ubuntu loaded on your desktop with all the hdd's connected? [06:10] airlynx, you can get gnome 3 'looking as gnome2' but gnome 3 is better i think ^) [06:11] hello! [06:11] ghabit, I agree, I like Gnome3 better, even though Mr Torvalds disagrees [06:11] As long as it behaves in the same manner (i.e. a main applications list where firefox and pidgin can be launched from and a standard taskbar) we'll be okay I think [06:11] ok.. give me a few minutes and I'll log in from desktop [06:12] airlynx, [06:12] !nounity [06:12] Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel".

[06:26] I am using Ubuntu 10.10 [06:26] Egbert9e9: i guess [06:26] Cool. So I'm getting a command not found error on an if statement. It says [08=] command not found, and the code is if ["$1"=""]; then [06:26] where $1 is 08 [06:27] for a cron job that you're running daily what i'm seeing is it runs at 6 25 AM, question is if you have the linux box off at that time will it still run, will it run when you start the box again or will it just have "missed" the task? [06:27] I've looked on the interwebz, but I can't find why it's giving me this error. The if statement works fine and the whole script executes fine, but it still gives me this error. [06:27] can't find info on google [06:27] ActionParsnip: I do agree that it's extremely weird how when gnome changed things' look changed [06:27] nice bug [06:28] Bear10, cron will skip the job [06:28] rsvp, i see alright thanks :) [06:28] ActionParsnip, no [06:28] Bear10, if you want post-mortem execution, use acron [06:28] ActionParsnip, actually it is hard to reproduce this =\ [06:29] thanks [06:29] purpleyuan: http://paste.ubuntu.com/719450 [06:29] I upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10. Now I lockup on restart. I tried recovery from the grub menu. It runs for a while but stalls on "eth0: no IPv6 routers present". I tried dropping to root and running "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" but they threw errors. Can anyone help me? [06:29] Hey! I'm an Ubuntu newbie - - can I ask a question about connecting a peripheral? [06:30] Bear10, s/acron/anacron/ [06:30] purpleyuan: that's one of my scripts. It uses the same comparing you are using [06:30] ActionParsnip, sorry, but can I ask what apt-fast is? [06:30] nyc2gf: just ask please... the question, no need to ask to ask... [06:31] ActionParsnip, now htop shows that banshee eats 160% of CPU time [06:31] maestrojed: you can disable ipv6 with the boot option: ipv6.disable=1 [06:31] thanks! Has anyone had success connecting a magicjack? (i'm using v10.04) [06:32] Jasef: its apt-get which uses axel. There is a PPA for it [06:32] does Xubuntu follow the same long-term release schedule as the generic Ubuntu? [06:32] ActionParsnip, thanks :) [06:32] ActionParsnip I am doing all this from stuff I have researched. where would I add that command? [06:33] !bootoptions [06:33] For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions See also !nomodeset. [06:33] ActionParsnip: thanks, but I still get the same error. :\ I changed my script so that it uses double brackets and == instead of = but it still throws the exact same error: [[08==]]: command not found [06:33] Does it have to do with the fact that I'm using "" for null? [06:34] purpleyuan: did you put the spaces between the quotes and the brackets? [06:34] purpleyuan, for comparison with empty string, try double-quoting the variable [06:34] ActionParsnip, under another user, banshee got stuck, and it does not respond, however it consumes 250% of CPU TIME [06:35] nyc2gf: maybe... this would help, or not.. just a link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1046819&page=3 [06:35] also == is a bashism and should be avoided as much as possible. [06:35] ActionParsnip so I would have to boot from a liveCD? Right nowI have been using the grub menu. [06:35] purpleyuan: there is actually a test for null values but I can't remember it. The guys in #bash got mad skills [06:36] maestrojed: its the same bootloader. Hold shift and you'll see the grub menu [06:36] [ -z string ] will test whether it is zero length [06:36] ActionParsnip: no, I didn't put a space between the quotes and the brackets. Should I? [06:37] rsvp: all variables are double-quoted :) [06:37] Rsvp: boom! Cheers man [06:37] rishikanta1, ok. Both of them cannot be mounted? [06:37] rishikanta1, or only 1tb? [06:37] purpleyuan: sounds like rsvp knows [06:38] ok, so avoid bashism and try the zero string length test I mentioned [06:38] now.. all the hdds are mounted [06:38] ActionParsnip Thx! [06:38] but earlier only the 1tb failed to mount [06:38] ActionParsnip: I have Network Manager install, how do I not overwrite the resolv.conf file? [06:39] rishikanta1, so everything is ok now? [06:39] how we liking 11.10? [06:39] we liking a lot! [06:40] kill banshee by finding its process number, you are using htop -- right? [06:40] awesome ghabit, i am back on 11.04 [06:40] I apparently broke Unity in less than 5 hours of using, unintentionally. [06:40] lyris, why? [06:40] i broke unity num erous times [06:40] lyris, did you try xfce desktop by any chance? [06:40] Why not use Gnome 3.2? [06:40] Now I login into a black screen with a mouse cursor [06:40] yes and that stuffed it [06:41] lyris, I am using gnome3, not unity, don't like unity... [06:41] i don't like gnome 3 hah [06:41] it's smooooth ^_^ [06:41] now.. all the hdds are mounted.. just the 1tb hdd is blank [06:41] lyris, so kde? [06:41] tried that too and it broke unity [06:41] lolol [06:41] can anyone tell me why my terminal only autocompletes for certain file types? for example, if i hit tab to autocomplete the name and the program is mplayer, it won't autocomplete unless it's a known media extension on the file. [06:41] batrick you didn't just upgrade to 11.10 did you? [06:41] seems it's time to abandon ship [06:42] I did a clean 11.10 install [06:42] programs didn't work properly [06:42] Unity is such a process hog.. [06:42] heard Torvalds upgraded to xfce from Gnome! [06:42] wow really? [06:42] rishikanta1, maybe you using dinamic win partitions on it? [06:42] lane_: bash_completion for specific commands. [06:42] i just had big issues with flash freezing up ubuntu [06:42] flash 11 64 bit must have a bug in it [06:42] ActionParsnip, rsvp: Okay, I got it! Turns out that I had to put spaces before and after the brackets AND the equal signs. I didn't realize that this was so picky... but thanks for all your helps! [06:42] hi im getting disconnected from wifi very often i noticed that a diffrent firmware is loaded rtlwifi/rtl8192cufw.bin than my adapter : Realtek RTL8188CUS - can this be the reason? [06:43] ghabit, how do i change or get back my files? is there a chance to recover to what it was [06:43] im using the default 3.0 kernel driver [06:43] thanks Jordan_U, I'll look into that [06:43] rishikanta1, you cannot see them under windows too, yes? [06:43] ghabit, yes it is blank under windows too [06:43] purpleyuan, did you try the zero length test -- it's easier to type :-) [06:44] ls [06:44] hi all [06:44] i have an issue when booting up my linux box after power was off for very long [06:44] rishikanta1, what happens, if you just try chfsk under win? [06:44] rsvp: haha no I'm just starting to learn to write scripts from linuxcommands.org, so I suppose I'll get there sooner or later? :P [06:44] i have a ups connected and installed service/program called winpower which communicates with it [06:45] so which directories do i nuke in $HOME to reset everything so Unity can start over? [06:45] however when the system boots up i get this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/719454/ [06:45] i type vi but opem vim it's different ? [06:45] open* [06:45] which is eventually followed by the "init ureadahead-other main process terminated with status 4" [06:45] Hi, I use ubuntu 11.10 64bit edition and use offline repositories of this version (get with debmirror). When i do apt-get update this want also to scan i386 packages. How i can force to do scan packages only for amd64 packages? [06:45] i wana remove the usb entry from fstab [06:45] you will learn only by usage [06:45] but how do i do that if the box doesnt boot up? [06:46] ghabit... windows check disk restarts my pc.. but i havent finished the check on restart [06:46] FreeWilly, is the drive spinning or dead? [06:46] batrick, tried selecting other sessions at the login? [06:46] none of the drives are faulty [06:47] fsck completes [06:47] just doesnt end up in the console/terminal [06:47] FreeWilly, use the live CD and do a diagnosis [06:47] like the desktop live? [06:47] yeah [06:48] but my installation is ubuntu server...can the live cd still help? [06:48] sure [06:48] just to look at the system [06:48] hey guys, for some reason my display changed in something like 640x480 in the upper left corner, the rest of the screen is black [06:49] messages [06:49] Why would someone's LAN connected computer be unavailable to someone else's computer that is connected as well to the same LAN? [06:49] rishikanta1, well, i will try to google that problem. Try to check your disk under win, then comeback with your question. [06:49] Unavailable in an unpredictable way, because sometimes it IS available [06:49] Hi, I use ubuntu 11.10 64bit edition and use offline repositories of this version (get with debmirror). When i do apt-get update this want also to scan i386 packages. How i can force to do scan packages only for amd64 packages? [06:49] so I can only access like 640x480 of my desktop, how do I fix this? [06:50] Math^, that sounds like rescue console? [06:50] important for diagnosis: "less +G /var/log/messages" [06:50] Uhm... that's weird lol. [06:50] dc5ala: it's in full resolution 1920x something, but only 640x480 I think displays, rest of it is black [06:50] hi, i have a question. i would like to build some apps from source, but the configure didn't find the build environmment. even after i have reinstalled gcc, g++, build-essential etc. it didn't work. and i CAN build simple apps by hand with cc and g++ . even my test system in virtualbox works fine with the same apps installed as the produstion server. [06:50] My ubuntu server isn't shutting down with sudo shutdown -k now [06:50] ghabit, thanks.. i am also trying partition check on ubuntu with GNU parted.. keeping my fingers crossed [06:50] Math^, and you only see a small terminal? [06:50] dc5ala: no [06:51] dc5ala: I've installed ccsm, maybe that caused it [06:51] Math^, so it looks normal just using a small part of your resolution? [06:51] dc5ala: yes [06:52] it happend after I logged out, and in again [06:53] http://paste.ubuntu.com/719455/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/719457/ [06:53] if you stay in this room, you end up trying to solve problems all day and into the night. [06:53] ok I just upgraded to ubuntu 11.10 and it appears that my touchpad is not as useful as it was before. The area where is less useful is when trying to use the touchpad for mouse clicks any suggestion? [06:53] I could never figure that one up [06:53] dc5ala: only thing I did was installing ccsm + fusion-icon, and I unmarked "detect refresh rate" in ccsm [06:53] my GRUB menu has a purple background, how can I change this to black? [06:53] hi anyone can helpme about ssh in ubuntu 11.04 [06:53] is hardware Ubuntu-certified??? [06:54] Math^, found some display settings in ccsm [06:54] what about ssh? [06:54] yes [06:54] when i am issue the command [06:54] Is there any way to get compiz in gnome 3? [06:54] ssh 172.70.106.46 [06:54] ssh: connect to host 172.70.106.46 port 22: Connection refused [06:54] then i got this msg [06:55] Math^, there's a checkbox for automatically detecting output and a textbox with 640x480+0+0 in it, that checkbox is checked here [06:55] can you tell me whats the probelm is? [06:55] dc5ala: ah... [06:55] Math^, when it's not checked it's probably using what's in that textfield [06:55] I saw that below there yes [06:55] hi all .. i've been trying to install ubuntu for some time now (a week or so) and i keep coming to the screen "allocate drive space" .. there are no partitions listed in the window pane .. device for boot loader installation is /dev/sda .. when i click install the mouse pointer spins .. it's been spinning 5 minutes now - am trying to install mint .. but having exact same problem as ubuntu ... [06:55] black box below says ... reverting to lockdown the desktop environment / switched to page partman / last message repeated 2 times [06:55] dc5ala: ok, I'll look there [06:55] TexasRussian: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME3 with Unity and compiz by default. Compiz cannot be used with GNOME Shell as GNOME Shell has a hard dependency on Mutter. [06:55] 172.70.106.46 [06:55] curl: (28) connect() timed out! [06:55] ooh, damn [06:56] Hello. My Ubuntu can't start. I think my FS contains errors - write 0 bytes free [06:56] its an ip adress of another system [06:56] in other words, the server is not serving :-) jndlsnl === tum is now known as Guest67343 [06:56] What i should to do? [06:57] then how should i solve the problem? [06:57] dc5ala: stupid me... thought I unmarked "detect refresh rate", but I did "detect outputs" instead [06:57] dc5ala: thnx, it's fixed now :)\ [06:57] take an asprin , and try to connect tomorrow [06:57] Math^, no problem :) [06:57] grr .. got disconn. [06:58] or loop ping, then let it ring an alarm to wake you up [06:59] mrdoctorwho_, probably boot from a live-cd and check your fs, when it's full mount it and make some room [07:01] Hi, I use ubuntu 11.10 64bit edition and use offline repositories of this version (get with debmirror). When i do apt-get update this want also to scan i386 packages. How i can force to do scan packages only for amd64 packages? [07:01] dc5ala: can i check it from other system (Ubuntu from external HDD) [07:01] anyone see me? [07:01] yes [07:02] jakes, no. Your webcam isn't on. [07:02] jakes, you are invisible [07:02] dc5ala: seems like fusion-icon isn't working well with unity [07:02] any idea what causes http://i.imgur.com/1YbXp.jpg ? showed up after upgrade [07:02] i want install backtrack menu in ubuntu [07:03] i want install backtrack menu in ubuntu [07:03] btavakkoli have you tried ubuntu tweak? [07:03] plz tell me some hint [07:03] while I don't know an answer to your question it is a handy utility to help add PPAs [07:04] Check by "fsck /dev/sda1" Do nothing.

[07:04] i want install backtrack menu in ubuntu [07:04] hey anyone see me [07:04] i see u [07:05] i want install backtrack menu in ubuntu [07:05] plz tell me some hint [07:05] uh [07:05] jakes, what is backtrack? [07:05] BackTrack is an Ubuntu based distro for network penetration testing [07:05] jakes: I googled; I came up with this - http://www.ubuntubuzz.com/2011/09/install-backtrack-5-application-in.html. I've never done it though [07:05] backtrack penetration tools [07:05] > no illegal stuff, kthxbai [07:05] Or, mostly, for script kiddies to try to hack into people's networks. [07:05] It's made for a legal reason though. [07:06] It's for testing. [07:06] Just it's not used that way normally [07:06] no just learning purpose [07:06] if i am not seeing the "install alongside other operating system" screen ... what could be the issue ... anyone? [07:06] jakes: I work at a security company - it's how it is normally used where I am, although we use the proper backtrack distro rather than adding to an existing one [07:07] I appreciate the script kiddie issue though [07:07] Good time everyone! [07:07] Math^, you probably mean the bar on top? [07:07] I have BackTrack installed on an SD card, I hardly get a chance to use it though. [07:08] It's tempting to use it on the neighbor's wifi at my Grandma's but I'm trying to be good :P [07:08] its not work tell me another hint [07:08] I have not quite ubuntu question, but what do you call for the terminal part thar t includes the username and the machine name with current direcotry ? [07:08] the logged in users home directory? [07:08] dc5ala: the icon on top in the bar yes, so I can reload window managers [07:09] pipalo, the prompt? [07:09] its not work tell me another hint [07:09] dc5ala: for example, I just marked Svg image loader, and it's not showing my window decorations anymore, so have to pkill X again [07:09] how to install turbo c in ubuntu [07:10] dc5ala, Hi5 ! [07:10] lyris, no, i don't try ubuntu tweak, my /etc/apt/sources.list is correct and it's only related to my amd64 offline repositories. but apt-get update wants to scan i386 packages list at dists/oneiric/main/ and then want to use this packages [07:10] Math^, sorry, no idea about that icon problem [07:10] dc5ala: been thinking of it for like 20 mins, my mind was going to blow ! cheers mate! [07:10] how to install turbo c in ubuntu [07:10] how to install turbo c in ubuntu [07:10] plz help [07:10] lyris, my amd64 packages are more than 40GB and if i want to use i386 packages inside this, my local repositories will be more than 80GB and it's not good [07:11] dc5ala: hmm, do you know how I can reload window decorations from out my terminal instead? then I don't really need the fusion-icon [07:11] lol turboc [07:11] :/ [07:12] if i am not seeing the "install alongside other operating system" screen ... what could be the issue ... anyone? [07:12] i need help with games that nativaly run on linux such as openarena. they always display in super high res stretching across both monitors while in full screen and open arena does so even in window mode and it won't let me change the res.. is there away to force the games to display full screen or even window mode onto one monitor and not stretch across both screens?? [07:12] Math^, you probably mean restarting compiz? compiz --replace [07:13] dc5ala: ah ye, could try that :) [07:14] dc5ala: ye, it's just that, thnx :) [07:15] * Math^ wonders what part of Gnome Ubuntu still uses, or just GTK now. [07:16] gdm has been removed, gnome2 desktop, so I guess it only uses gtk now? [07:17] i bought a 'usb2 to 5.1 channel speaker system' and when I plug it in, audio automatically switches to the 5.1, however i can't control the volume (or even mute) from ubuntu. if I go into system settings - sound - output I notice it's still set to 'internal audio analogue sstereo'. If i set it to the new 'CM106 like sound device analogue stereo' it properly switches over to teh 5.1 (i can control volume and mute etc) but the [07:18] so.. no one knows how to force a game to display on just on monitor? or force the game to allow you to set another res other than 2000 something by 1000 something... [07:18] guys how do i kill gnome shell window manager? [07:18] s0nee: try sudo pkill X [07:19] I need some help!!!! GARHHH [07:19] I'm on 11.10 gnome classic and I used to be able to alt+right click to customise panels but can no longer do that. any ideas why? [07:20] s0nee, you can restart it with ALT+F2, then type in r + return [07:20] is there a command for a quick print out of the hdd smart status (console based?) [07:20] Flynsarmy, hold ALT then click [07:20] dc5ala, im trying to kill gnome shell window manager so i can run awesome instead. [07:21] dc5ala: that's what i'm doing. I can still alt + drag (left click) fine but no right click context menu options... [07:21] ktwo: smartctl, but I wouldn't call it quick [07:21] dc5ala, i tried export DISPLAY from tty1, then metacity --replace and terminate it [07:21] can anybody tell me which wine to install from the software center?? when i search wine, there is wine 1.2,1.3 and wine. i was wondering which one should i install for 11.10. [07:22] how can i list what i have running so i can kill a specific instance and not the rest? [07:22] why not quick pnorman? can it cause damage? [07:22] (ubuntu 11.04) [07:22] because it has a really long man page [07:22] Math^: it logs me out instead of just killing the window manager [07:22] Flynsarmy, that's odd, used to work here, though i haven't used it for a while, sorry [07:23] It does what you want, but I have to look up the exact sommands anytime I want to do anything with it [07:23] dc5ala: ok, the solution is metacity --replace, customize my menus then back to compiz --replace [07:23] s0nee: what you mean by "killing" then [07:23] I need someone to help me in PMs, who isn't afraid of the more risque side of using software, plz. This is a problem I've been working on since, oh, forever now [07:24] Math^: im trying to stop or kill the default window manager so i can run awesome instead [07:24] NetRunnerBlack, how can people know if they can help if you wont say the question :( [07:24] Flynsarmy, oh, maybe have a look in ccsm if that is a hotkey for something [07:24] s0nee: when you login, you can change session? [07:25] anyways, the three commands I was running with smartctl today were smartctl -t short /dev/sda, smartctl --log=selftest /dev/sda and smartctl -a /dev/sda [07:25] okay thanks [07:25] jasef: I need help getting LOIC to run, which is why I asked for help in PMs ^^ [07:25] Math^: yeah. maybe i can run from there instead [07:26] i need a command line command to list specific instances of whatever i have running, so i can kill one and not another, please? [07:26] I can't seem to get it working in Ubuntu [07:26] top is too general [07:26] Math^: thanks! [07:26] sup b? [07:26] s0nee: hehe, that's what you where looking for? ;) [07:26] NetRunnerBlack, never used LOIC, but I might be able to see if I can get it working O-o [07:27] Math^: not really :) [07:27] jasef I'm on Ubuntu 11.10, and I can't pull up the startup screen or get it to run at all. [07:27] Hi there! could anybody tell how to change combination of keys for switching between desktops? [07:28] jasef: link incomign [07:28] Math^: is it possible to "kill" the default window manager of gnome shell (clutter or mutter, idk) like "kill" metacity or compiz ? [07:29] but read the manpages on the smart stuff. they also help explain the results you get, which can be... complicated [07:30] s0nee, if you use gnome-shell you cant use compiz [07:30] how do I get compiz to be the default window manager? I believe it's currently metacity which doesn't have any 3d effects [07:30] this is a silly question i know . but i have been trying to install ubuntu alongside windows 7 ultimate for a dual boot for a week now .. always get to the screen where is says "allocate drive space" and there is nothing in the window pane .. nor are the buttons highlighted ie new partition table ... etc.. i just deleted my win7 partition to install ubuntu by itself .. however i'm back at the [07:30] same window and still the same issue even with win7 deleted ... do i have to format the drive before installing ? [07:30] can anybody tell me which wine to install from the software center?? when i search wine, there is wine 1.2,1.3 and wine compatibility layer. i was wondering which one should i install for 11.10. [07:30] chebureque, tried system settings -> keyboard -> "shortcuts" -> navigation? [07:30] Nightwelf: im not using compiz. Im trying to replace the default running window manager with awesome [07:30] s0nee, i tell about 3D [07:31] ktwo: You might also want to look at a monitoring and logging tool like munin that can track some smart values which can reveal other problems [07:31] s0nee: i'm trying to replace the default window manager to compiz :) [07:31] -_- [07:31] ktwo: for example, munin has mademe no longer trust any hard drive manufacturer except samsung, which I have no experience with [07:32] s0nee, default ubuntu WM is not bad [07:32] s0nee, i think [07:32] Nightwelf: awesome is better to me [07:32] dc5ala: i'm running xubuntu 11.10 & there's no such option, i can only add hotkeys, but i don't know the right command [07:34] * Math^ has never heard of awesome [07:35] kinda hard to google it also, shows up "awesome desktops!" and stuff :p [07:35] gg "awesome tiling window manager" [07:35] Hi, i had install ubuntu 11.10 amd64 on my PC and want to use offline repositories (get with debmirror). when i want to do "apt-get update" it wants also to scan i386 packages list (in addition to amd64 packages list). how i can fix it? [07:35] Math^: gg "awesome window manager" [07:36] eck. Just tried 11.10. Anyone here have the experieence of configuring to work like say, 10? [07:36] s0nee, i nener use it, use only awesome without gnome-shell, awesome like xmonad? [07:36] Nightwelf: it is [07:36] i used 10.10 for about a year [07:36] it rocked my socks off [07:36] didn't like 11.X [07:36] s0nee: I see... it's tiling windows together or soemthing? [07:37] Math^: it is [07:37] s0nee, i see article about xmonad + gnome [07:37] i began to upgrade until it told me it would uninstall ~40 packages, upgrade ~500, download 500+mb of packages, etc [07:37] s0nee: that's nice [07:37] chaospsychex: Me too. [07:37] btavakkoli, why do you want to fix this at all? That is a fallback for packages that are not available as 64 bit [07:38] this is a silly question i know . but i have been trying to install ubuntu alongside windows 7 ultimate for a dual boot for a week now .. always get to the screen where is says "allocate drive space" and there is nothing in the window pane .. nor are the buttons highlighted ie new partition table ... etc.. i just deleted my win7 partition to install ubuntu by itself .. however i'm back at the [07:38] same window and still the same issue even with win7 deleted ... do i have to format the drive before installing ? [07:39] Nightwelf: i read that xmonad uses haskell and it is configured by modifying the source code and rebulding [07:39] dc5ala, because i get full repositories of oneiric 64bit (more than 40GB) and i want to use this. how i can do that? you say that if i want to use amd64 repositories i need to get i386 repositories? i do that in 11.04 release and there was not any problem [07:39] Nightwelf: so i tried awesome instead. and its awesome [07:41] can anybody tell me which wine to install from the software center?? when i search wine, there is wine 1.2,1.3 and wine compatibility layer. i was wondering which one should i install for 11.10. [07:41] the-m0bster: 1.3 is better [07:42] thanks [07:42] ubidoobi2: may be your disk can't be recognized. i suggested backing up everything then rebuilding a new partition table ? [07:42] s0nee, i dont use it sorry :( [07:45] How i can check fs for errors? Which command? (fsck /dev/sda1 do nothing) [07:45] Nightwelf: the big question is how do i "kill" the default running window manager of gnome shell [07:45] is unity a variant of gnome 3? [07:45] s0nee - ubuntu .. and mint cannot recognize a 2 year old hdd ? .. wow .. that seems odd [07:46] ñ [07:46] kjk [07:46] s0nee, /usr/bin/OTHER_WM --replace does not works? [07:46] chaospsychex: Unity working under gnome [07:46] Nightwelf: awesome does not have a --replace option [07:47] chaospsychex: i think it is a panel only [07:47] gnome 3? [07:47] ubidoobi2 : idk. you may want to check hdd options in bios ? [07:47] chaospsychex: gnome 2+ [07:47] rishikanta1, have you found something? [07:47] s0nee, no ideas [07:47] s0nee .. checked in bios .. have tried many different configurations .. always same result .. [07:48] Nightwelf: so i replaced with metacity then terminate it. now no window manager is running. and i run awesome :) [07:48] is it possible to make unity dock show on the bottom of my screen? [07:48] I tried reveal mode, but it didn't change [07:49] ubidoobi2: borrow another hdd and try it ? [07:49] Math^, sadly... no :( [07:49] s0nee ... tried another hdd .. same result :( [07:49] s0nee, :) [07:49] but dock on the left is not bad [07:50] hi there ubuntu experts, can you help me set up a VPN ? it was working in natty, but it won't connect in oneiric === tum is now known as Guest81388 [07:50] spanish spanish xD [07:50] in Xfce I got my dock on the bottom, bit used to that :) [07:50] ubidoobi2: hmm... then another distribution ? [07:50] The point is not good or bad ... it is a matter of control -- [07:51] think it's just a matter of time, unity is very new still [07:51] s0nee tried mint and ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10 [07:51] Nightwelf: because that method requires me to terminate metacity manually, i can't write a script to do that. that's why i try to kill gnome shell window manager instead [07:51] I run in classic mode with a panel on the bottom and a dock on the top [07:51] how does it affect the control? it may be subjective [07:52] czesc [07:52] you are speak spanish? [07:52] nlkm: I think that's because it's not using compiz [07:52] weras [07:52] wewa [07:52] sssa [07:52] any polish? [07:52] sos [07:52] mehdi_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:52] ubidoobi2: then plug your hdd into another computer and install ? [07:52] ha? [07:53] lol [07:53] anyone speak polish? [07:53] I want to have the control to put panels where I think they should be ... Left, right, top or Bottom ... it should be my preference.

[07:54] nope [07:54] am need make some brosure for my product on ubuntu what application can support it [07:54] s0nee .. would formatting the drive help at all ... i deleted the partitions .. will the installer format once it picks up the drive .. or should i do it beforehand [07:55] ieeee [07:55] i'am need make some BROSURE for my product on ubuntu, what application / software you recomend for i used it..!!! [07:55] ubidoobi2: if the installer does not recognize the disk then you can not format it using the installer obviously [07:55] maulana: Scribus is recomended for that kind of work. [07:56] ubidoobi2: formatting the whole disk and make a new partition table beforehand may work, idk [07:56] Morning. We're migrating servers from OpenVZ to KVM. When we boot ubuntu servers, we get the error that mountall has failed with the status 123. Does anyone have any idea about where to start looking for the error?

I have recently upgraded to 11.10. My graphics card was unsupported before so I hadn't installed the ATI drivers. Now I have installed them and all works, except that Unity was unchecked in compiz (which I checked again) and I can't get graphics features like Wobbly Windows (they're checked but do nothing). Any ideas? [08:11] Peddy, what version of ubuntu? [08:11] PastulioLive, 11.10 [08:11] SunTsu: hrmm..I just realized that display managers, window managers and desktops are all different.

[08:16] infate: Yes that is what I tried to do ... It sort of works that way. [08:17] falstaf: i'll check that out. thanks [08:17] PastulioLive, thanks, I will try that! :D [08:17] Peddy, no problem, let me know how it works out ;) [08:18] Is it a good idea to reset unity? [08:19] not a problem with ubuntu per say, but when I try to mount an ntfs partition in my new ubuntu 11.04 desktop install I get a segfault [08:19] help [08:21] get an error 4 in libblkid.so [08:22] PastulioLive, that worked perfectly, thanks!

Not really XD but it works. No idea why that would happen [08:26] What was the command line you used to mount it? [08:26] mount /dev/sda3 /media/win [08:27] vep que aqui hay mucha jente alguna que hable español [08:27] it shows in gparted [08:27] Good morning [08:27] Is it a good idea to reset Unity? [08:27] Lemme test if that line works for me [08:27] I am sure it is an ntfs problem, just kind of hoped someone wake had seen it. [08:27] that mounts /dev/sda1 fine (onother ntfs partition) [08:27] Uhm... sorry :/ it works for me [08:28] somebody know a good program that can install in Ubuntu 11.10 to make copies of my system every time that i touch a critical part and then can come back to previous states as in Windows with the recovery mode [08:28] I dont know why it doesnt on sda3 [08:28] Are you sure sda3 is the right one? [08:28] yeah, soemthing wrong with that partition. I'm going to end up wiping it. [08:28] by mistake:) [08:28] yeah, it's the right one, I can see it with gparted [08:28] let me dtry fdisk [08:28] For example if i'm touching Compiz and break the unity can come back an old state before touch all that things [08:28] What happenns if you click it in the sidebar in Nautilus [08:28] it is possible in Ubuntu? i think is pretty important [08:29] how can i make grep search all subfolders and hidden files ? === chaosr is now known as ChaosR [08:30] ok, it does not show there instead I see the entire disk (which ubuntu also resides on) as the first partition. [08:30] thanks, I'll look further at that [08:31] when dragging a window in 11.10 it is getting smeared [08:31] O.o. Wait, are you running Wubi, out of curiosity, NotLarry? [08:31] do I'm missing a video card driver? [08:32] natty [08:32] wait, wha [08:32] NotLarry, Wubi as in, the Install Ubuntu Inside Windows thing. [08:33] oh, that, no [08:33] in my computer i nave dual boot one with windows and another is ubuntu. actually the hard disk capacity is 250 GB but in my ubuntu home directory whenever i open it it notify me about the disk only have 750 mb of memory althogh more than 120 Gb is free. [08:33] wiped my backtrack partition and installed ubuntu next to 7 [08:33] Ah, just wondering cause mounting the drive Ubuntu is installed on doesn't work in that, because it's already in /host [08:33] right.

[08:34] nardul, I didn't see it O-o [08:34] Morning. We're migrating servers from OpenVZ to KVM. When we boot ubuntu servers, we get the error that mountall has failed with the status 123. Does anyone have any idea about where to start looking for the error? [08:34] ^^ [08:34] By mountall, you mean like sudo mount -a [08:34] ? [08:34] is linux an very secure os compare to mac and windows [08:34] eh, no. [08:34] jasef: The mountall program that mounts during boot [08:34] `man mountall` [08:35] Oh. [08:35] can someone please help me [08:35] ^? [08:35] It exits with 123, which means media not found. [08:35] hey, is there anyway to uninstall/remove ironhide? [08:36] mithran, lol just a little busy right now, I'll try to help as soon as I can [08:36] nardul, is it possible the device name changed due to a different virtualisation engine presenting the disk differently [08:36] Like /hda becoming /sda [08:37] i have ldap and unix user in duplicate. how to delete user by userid, not by name using terminal, i intend to keep the ldap user.? [08:38] jasef: The UUID of the partition is correctly entered into fstab. Udev starts (and should) populate(s) /dev. So i don't see why it fails :/ [08:38] what do we call that bar at the left of the screen, when the mouse is move over it? [08:38] And for that matter, the disk is still called /dev/sda1 [08:38] a dock [08:39] can we move the dock to the bottom of the screen? [08:39] yoga, the dash. And I'm not sure [08:39] maybe if your a wizard [08:39] nardul, what happens if you use /dev/sda1 instead of the UUID in fstab? [08:40] in my computer i nave dual boot one with windows and another is ubuntu. actually the hard disk capacity is 250 GB but in my ubuntu home directory whenever i open it it notify me about the disk only have 750 mb of memory althogh more than 120 Gb is free. [08:40] Why the f.... does ubuntu not keep focus on the images which is opened in nautilus? Instead it keepts focus on the open dir window [08:40] jasef: Same problem. [08:40] jasef: can you help now? [08:40] O.o can you mount by using the normal mount command? [08:41] is there anyway to remove ironhide [08:41] jasef: Yes, we currently have it booted/chrooted from a live cd. [08:41] Wondering what mgc stands for, for 11.04 ?

I don't know what to suggest now :/ [08:43] sweb: sleep 60; rm file will wait 60 seconds first [08:44] jasef: I don't think it's fstab. Since the server was running fstab some changes must've been made to it. I just don't know enough about the ubuntu boot-process to speficy what. Thank you for trying :) [08:44] i'm in oneiric and i can't "unclone" my two displays to make a big virtual one :( [08:44] Hi.... i'm trying to get a graphic card to work in Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric....it's a Gigabyte Radeon HD4650 1GB memo AGPx8. It works perfectly in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with compiz fusion and simple ccm, but in Oneric the screen freezes both when the fglrx with ATI Catalyst is activated and also without the driver. Anyone? [08:45] here is my xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/r0Yuzxh5 [08:45] geek07: At what point does the screen freeze? [08:45] nardul, Sorry I couldn't help further, maybe someone with more experience with the boot process will come on after, or you could use the forums [08:45] If i run a script as part of preseed which installs some packages, where would these be installed? the installation media or target installation? do i need t chroot into /target/ ? [08:45] alecat: what GPU? [08:46] AMD Ati [08:46] it freezes when I'm moving a window starting a program etc [08:46] geek07: Does it work in a live session? [08:46] Why the f.... does ubuntu not keep focus on the images which is opened in nautilus? Instead it keepts focus on the open dir window [08:46] jasef: nardul What seems to be the problem?

[08:48] no not live.....I a l w a y s use the net-install option.....but yes i have tried to boot live....same thing [08:48] soreau, depends on the annoyment of the error.... [08:48] diverdude: no [08:48] diverdude: No, it depends on what channel you're in [08:48] diverdude: and now stop it [08:48] diverdude: This is a family channel [08:49] Or more specifically how i can execute a script in preseed that modifies the /target such as install packages, remove packages, download specific configs [08:49] hei everyone [08:49] X forwarding via SSH. So - I can connect and can launch new session like xfce4-session, but me and the person on that desktop won't see the same screen - right? [08:49] scribus12: correct [08:49] alecat: I don't have any experience of ATI. I always always buy Nvidia [08:49] scribus12: but a complete session is an overkill for ssh -X [08:50] yes Nvidia is the best....I know [08:50] scribus12: normally you are just calling a program like firefox [08:50] scribus12: right, its a different session. I suggest you just run the app you need rather than the full desktop [08:50] scribus12: also add the switch -C for compression [08:50] alecat: You probably need to set a virtual size in xorg.conf [08:50] scribus12: if you want a complete session have a look at freenx [08:50] I just installed python 2.7 on lucid x64. now when I run jsonrpclib/tests.py with this new python ver, it fails [08:50] geek07: not really best [08:51] iceroot: i personally don't need X , main thing was to share the screen with someone so I can run quick howto. [08:51] soreau, it's done. Check out my pastebin [08:51] scribus12: teamviewer [08:51] But I bought this card 3 months ago and was running (still do) 10.04 lts [08:51] alecat: Then fglrx sucks :) [08:51] scribus12: then VNC will be necessary [08:51] alecat: Try the open radeon driver [08:51] iceroot: vnc would perhaps be better for remote support? [08:51] scribus12: vnc or teamviewer, yes [08:51] can anyone help on this [08:51] scribus12: ssh -X is the badest idea for something like that [08:51] iceroot: teamviewer is wine is it not? [08:52] scribus12: yes [08:52] iceroot: could export DISPLAY as :0 ;) [08:52] ActionParsnip: have fun with that :) [08:52] ActionParsnip: what do u mean - how would that work? [08:53] scribus12: just look for vnc or teamviewer [08:53] thank u all.....I have to leave now [08:53] scribus12: or maybe freenx if you want a new session [08:53] scribus12: i'd just use VNC dude, its easy and probably the better idea as you can see what's going on and they can demonstrate the issue. It's the only real thing I personally think VNC should be used for [08:54] ActionParsnip, iceroot: kewl. thanks for help guys. [08:56] infinii, thanks, but this like was not useful, apt wants to scan and use i386 packages and my problem is this! in older version (11.04 and ...) there was not any problem [08:56] hi, i have two routers with internet access on the same network, i was wondering if i can make the a ubuntu pc to use one for one kind of traffic: ie to port 25 or to a specific ip and the other for the rest [08:57] jasef: I had named the drive "device formerly known as drive c:" I renamed it "c:" and it mounts in ubuntu just fine:) [08:57] satonio: You could consult lartc on this [08:57] satonio: that's not ububtu specific, though, but your problem isn't either [08:57] NotLarry, LOL! I guess the name was too long. [08:58] yeah, I noticed in disk manager it wasn't showing the whole name. [08:58] Lol, I'll remember that next time someone has that problem O-o [08:58] satonio: you can make a route to the host you are connecting to on port 25 be pushed through the desired router, you may be able to use the route command to shape the connection === tum is now known as Guest97121 [09:00] hmmmmmm [09:03] Hi, i had install ubuntu 11.10 amd64 on my PC and want to use offline repositories (get with debmirror). when i want to do "apt-get update" it wants also to scan i386 packages list (in addition to amd64 packages list). how i can fix it? === meta-physicist is now known as meta-coder [09:07] btavakkoli: I think you can change in software centre, then repos or something [09:07] or manually editing /etc/apt/sources.list by commenting i386 line [09:08] !nounity [09:08] Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [09:09] Math^: didn't know that was possible, nice [09:10] I just booted into 11.10 on my newly built PC with the Asus Sabertooth 990FX mo-bo and I can't seem to get the USB mouse and keyboard to work even if I plug in the PS/2 mouse, Help!

[09:11] oh, let me check [09:12] yes it's enabled [09:12] btavakkoli: I'm not running Ubuntu right now, but maybe you can pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list - see if I can do something for you [09:12] p1z0n: have you tried different USB ports too? [09:12] yes, all of them [09:12] slap your dick on the keyboard p1z0n, that usually works for me [09:13] it did the same thing with Backtrack when I was trying to install it just now too [09:13] and Parted Magic [09:13] nlkm -.- stop being rude, please. === jsurfer_ is now known as jsurfer [09:14] !language [09:14] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional.

[09:19] mithran: 6667 is the standard IRC port [09:20] ActionParsnip: but that times out....does the webchat use 6667? [09:20] btavakkoli: Hmm, I've never tried to install Ubuntu repos from a local drive, but you got internet on it? I would just use repos from ubuntu.com? [09:21] mithran: what clients have you tried?

[09:29] when you start [09:29] does grub have a limit? [09:30] Math^, i think "apt-get update" must no request for i386 packages and there is a problem with apt on 11.10 amd64 [09:30] Novody can help ?

[09:33] X chrashed, then it restarted but in a way that made only my mouse visible. I couldn`t figure out how to kill X, so i switched to a different tty and rebooted. My question is: in the event that this will happen again, how do i kill and restart X, without having to reboot ? [09:33] Hello there. What applications would you recommend for programmers? [09:34] mithran: telnet irc.freenode.net 6667 [09:34] p1l0t: any good? [09:34] phper_, geany is a nice simple editor that works with multiple languages, or you can use Eclipse which is a bit more heavy, but has some nice features [09:34] does there exist a library or program that can detect/identify the language(or just if it's English) of words?

[09:36] NEtbeans is Java and IMHO sucks asss so slow [09:36] btavakkoli: maybe it installed i386 packages, not sure [09:37] jasef, Hi, no, i'm trying to use ubuntu 11.10 amd64 offline repositories (get with debmirror) on my ubuntu 11.10 amd64 desktop installed system, but "apt-get update" wants to scan and use i386 packages in addition to amd64 [09:37] btavakkoli, scribus12 Math^ Hello, anyone there can give me a hint cono install and the audio out of an encore tv card [09:37] jasef, pretty convenient to use notepad++ with NetBeans, and no it has php, the only feature i use is the auto upload feature :P [09:38] Badman: notepad++ is the only program I miss from Windows. [09:38] Badman: thanks [09:39] Math^, so i can try re-install system with new CD ;) [09:39] btavakkoli, I don't think it's possible to only do amd64, as the repositories store i386 and amd64 in the same dist folder, and they're installed by saying packagename:arch, like geany:i386 or xchat:amd64 [09:39] scribus12: wine runs is pretty nicely (not that I like using wine, but well...) [09:39] btavakkoli: hmm, you could try... I never installed packages from a local drive, not sure what went wrong [09:40] btavakkoli: but for some reason it wants to update i386 packages [09:40] Badman: i went for Komodo editor which is similar to npp. no wine needed. [09:40] scribus12, yeah, I missed Notepad++ too, geany is a pretty good replacement though [09:40] jasef, but i did this in 11.04 and everything was fine [09:40] Badman: Komodo IDE even has PHP debuggerlike notepd ++ [09:40] jasef, and "apt-get update" didn't wants to scan i386 packages [09:40] btavakkoli, Oh... guess I was wrong. Sorry, I don't know an awful lot about debmirror [09:41] jasef, ;) [09:41] hey [09:41] scribus12: Thanks for that, will surely have a look. === Chotaz`Work is now known as Chotaz`Droid === Chotaz`Droid is now known as Chotaz`droid [09:42] btavakkoli: dpkg -s see if it's i386 === Chotaz`droid is now known as Chotaz`work [09:42] Badman: IDE version is shareware though:( editor is free and op[en source.

X crashed, then it partially restarted but i could only see my mouse, and could not do anything else (no key comination of any sort worked). I couldn`t figure out how to kill it (X) so i switched to a different tty, and rebooted. If that were to happen again, how can i kill X and restart it ? If i do "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart", from the currently working X, i can stop it (allthough it hangs after the battery check - i`m on an laptop), and sta [09:47] rt it from a different tty. What i am looking for is a way to kill X from a different tty, and restart it in the one i just killed it in. :) [09:47] btavakkoli: dpkg-query -W -f='${Package}\t${Architecture}\n' [09:48] workspaces on the right side stacked how do ou do it [09:48] btavakkoli: all amd64?

[09:49] ActionParsnip: Problem is CTRL+ALT+BackSpace wasn`t working in that situation, i tried. [09:51] Hey. Possibly a silly question, but is there any ubuntu/linux software to connect to and manage a MS SQL Server?

[09:59] dakota: yes [09:59] til [09:59] ;) [09:59] no clue about mssql [09:59] why evince is it better than Adobe reader ? Math^ [10:00] iuytfr: http://projects.gnome.org/evince/?guid=on [10:00] iuytfr: not saying it's better, but you can't read a pdf with adobe reader? [10:01] well let me explain you in correct way [10:01] can someone tell me what the feature is called in ccsm and how to enable it where you can move the mouse into any edge of the screen and the windows all scale down and you can select them, like in fedora? i used to have it but forgot how to do it now. i am pretty sure it is under scale but i cant figure it out right now [10:01] i find there is a big difference between reading from paper [10:01] than reading from screen [10:02] but using adobe reader, foxit etc .... [10:02] i have done lots of changes contrast etc ...., change the font etc ... [10:02] i can't read in best condition [10:03] iuytfr: low ress preview? [10:04] what is this ? [10:04] Badman: anything specific I need to have for it to connect to a mssql server?

[10:05] dakota use phpmsadmin :D [10:05] dakota: http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmsadmin/ [10:05] iuytfr: when you open a pdf in adobe reader, you say the quality looks poor, right? [10:05] dakota: It's in beta [10:06] it looks flou [10:06] Badman: never scared me away :) Last update was 2009, let's see how it works [10:06] bad resolution [10:06] just want something better than rdp for managing the stupid sql server [10:07] iuytfr: yes, see if there's an option in adobe reader to show in high ress [10:07] something like preview->high ress I think [10:08] dakota: Try RazorSQL [10:10] ok find it thanks Math^ [10:10] iuytfr: cool, glad you found it :) [10:11] Math^, the result of your query are : "amd64" & "all" [10:11] Math^, i find something [10:12] Math^, maybe ubuntu team make some changes at this release [10:13] Math^, i look at to amd64 DVD of ubuntu 11.04 and there was only amd64 package list, but 11.10 amd64 DVD contains is both i386 and amd64 package list [10:13] btavakkoli: I think it's kinda weird too... if you did the same way with 11.04 [10:14] Is there any official Ubuntu DVD install ISO with lots of packages by default? [10:16] meta-coder, as official your answer is : NOT , but non-official (made by other team base on ubuntu) your answer is : YES [10:16] btavakkoli, give me its link please [10:17] meta-coder, for 11.10 or older? [10:17] btavakkoli: maybe burn dvd to usb, then go into usb and delete all the i386 packages manually [10:18] 11.10 [10:18] does it make sense that i can access data and do all sorts of things on a mounted drive but when i do fdisk -l it says doesn't contain a valid partition table [10:18] ? [10:18] infinii, thanks, i try it [10:19] btavakkoli: if you are really this anal about having only amd64, maybe you should use a distribution that self compiles like gentoo [10:19] meta-coder, your answer is again : NO - because 11.10 is a fresh release and those team are working to making distros. but there is some distros for 11.04 [10:20] Is this the wrong place to be asking general questions about 10.10 fstab issues? [10:20] ok give the 11.04 DVD link.. [10:20] can someone help me with what is probably a stupid question? in compiz in the scale option, i used to be able to have for the binding just moving the mouse to a specific edge, but i cant figure out how to do that again now [10:20] El_Saviore: it might not be 10.10 issue and just related to fstab...just ask [10:20] meta-coder, you can find dl link at the official site of this distros : linux mint - SuperOS - AriOS [10:21] meta-coder, http://www.distrowatch.com/mint [10:21] meta-coder, http://www.distrowatch.com/superos [10:21] well, i have ghost drives hanging around after doing some clean up related to PSYDM [10:21] meta-coder, http://www.distrowatch.com/arios [10:21] They are listed in the "places" menu, and nautilus side menu, but not in fstab. [10:22] I would like to know how to delete them. [10:23] El_Saviore: dunno but as last resort you could do a recursive grep to find which file it's in [10:23] infinii, no, i'm admin of a linux store at Iran and at this country there is not internet with more than 128 kbps for peoples and most of iranians have to use dial-up connection! so they need to offline repositories (they can't download with this shit speed!) so i want to make offline repositories for this peoples :) [10:24] So there isn't anything I can do to "reset" the HDD list in nautilus? [10:25] btavakkoli: you can make a local repo and update many systems using that over LAN, Kinda like a WSUS server [10:26] What type of files will sync save to cloud?

[10:32] i am trying to run the "ns2" network simulator.....it gives error message that it requires tcl version 8.4.I have tcl8.5 installed by default.So i manually installed tcl8.4 and now i dont know how to link this version of tcl with ns...any idea? [10:32] btavakkoli: then use the apt-get command but only tell it to download the files, you can then use these [10:32] btavakkoli: you could even grab the daily ISO and use that as repo [10:33] sudipta: you could probably just symlink the library file [10:33] ActionParsnip:how to do that? can u pls point out what should i do? [10:33] ActionParsnip, how to apt-get -d all packages with one command? [10:37] ActionParsnip:r u there?

The bar that holds program bar, clock, user session etc. [10:41] that sometimes happen when the terminal is very wide, also had the same problem with unity (some kind of graphics corruption) [10:42] My problem is that if I maximize a window on my secondary monitor, the menu bar still is on my primary monitor. [10:42] btavakkoli, how about mirroring the entire repository using wget --mirror ? [10:43] i solved, it is because the $PS1 is wrong setting [10:43] kyktommy: so it's not default?

[11:10] jndlsnl: what is the file name? [11:11] the file is wls1034_oepe111161_linux32.bin === TheyTookOurJobs is now known as Macaroo [11:11] stephni: then run: cd ~/Downloads; chmod +x ./jre-6u29-linux-i586.bin; sudo mv ./jre-6u29-linux-i586.bin /opt; cd /opt; sudo ./jre-6u29-linux-i586.bin; rm ./jre-6u29-linux-i586.bin [11:11] jndlsnl: mark it as executable and run it [11:12] but how? [11:12] is it for jre and jdk [11:12] jndlsnl: you can do it in nautilus under the right click menu or run: chmod +x wls1034_oepe111161_linux32.bin; ./ wls1034_oepe111161_linux32.bin [11:13] i did the same but it gives some error [11:14] jndlsnl: obviously if it needs running as root use: sudo ./ wls1034_oepe111161_linux32.bin [11:14] jndlsnl: ah.. the famous "some error", it is solved easily with "some solution" [11:14] stephni: do you want the browser plugin?

[11:17] is it linux rpm, linux(self extracting) and 2 more ehich should i chose [11:17] shobha: have you tested it in cheese? [11:18] stephni: Linux (self-extracting file) [11:18] stephni: i never mentioned rpm, did I? [11:18] ActionParsnip: yes, in camorama also... it does not work with either one [11:20] no [11:20] how do i download jdk if jre is done [11:20] is it possible to pair a Magic Trackpad and Apple Wireless Keyboard to Ubuntu on a machine that already uses those devices when in OS X? [11:21] ActionParsnip: I am using my phone as webcam, it is working fine on windows, but not being detected in ubuntu [11:21] stephni: if I didn't even mention RPM, why would it be the RPM file? [11:21] Rods_Tiger, it can, when not in use by that machine. [11:21] excellent [11:22] how to check video for linux devices conected to ubuntu? [11:22] stephni: you need to do a bit more than just download the file to get JRE running [11:22] stephni: scroll up and you will see a big command to run [11:23] is it the onwe with chmod + [11:23] stephni: yes [11:24] hi here [11:24] where could i check if my external hard drive box is compatible with ubuntu ? [11:24] 65064***353264052*53. [11:25] Dice-Man: if it's a usb device it's pretty certain it is compatible.. [11:25] yes it is [11:26] stephni: all you need to then do is link /opt/jdk1.6.whatever0/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so to your browser's plugins folder [11:26] Dice-Man: then you can assume it will work [11:26] stephni: you can get the exact filename with: find /opt | grep libnpjp2.so [11:26] That's interesting. I was just typing that on the Apple Wireless Keyboard. I said something like: "So far I've managed to set up the Apple Wireless Keyboard, but the Magic Trackpad keeps failing". But obviously not the keyboard either, as when I type that it comes out as numbers in Ubuntu. [11:26] vega-: hum please stand by i'm looking for something [11:27] Dice-Man: can i sit? [11:27] ok so after all this i can now install java programs [11:28] hello could someone help me with Squid? [11:29] vega-: check out this thread http://www.groupsrv.com/linux/about163562.html [11:29] vega-: will i have the same problem now with lucid ?? [11:30] Dice-Man: uh so it's a bit more complicated device, no idea really.. don't have time to read through all of that [11:30] vega-: yeah in fact i just ask before i buy [11:31] When issuing an apt-get [install or remove or autoremove] how can i force it to ignore any package name issues in which cases it usually ends if 'Unable to locate package: abc' [11:31] should i use sudo or gksudo to edit /etc/fstab? [11:31] vega-: the first post is quiet short [11:31] Dice-Man: well, grepping CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN in /boot/config-3.0.0-12-generic tells me that setting is by default enabled in ubuntu oneiric [11:32] stephni: if you run: cd /usr/lib/jvm/; sudo ln -s /opt/java-whatever; sudo update-alternatives --config java you can switch it to the sun java [11:32] hi? [11:32] Sterist, use gksudo gedit /etc/fstab [11:32] vega-: haha let's see for lucid ! :) [11:33] Dice-Man: well you could check by downloading the lucid kernel package, extracting it and checking the corresponding config-xxx file yourself [11:33] I need an alternative to K3B? It won't detect my optical drive [11:33] Oerheks are you sure thats the right one? lol [11:33] hello to everybody [11:33] Dice-Man: just download the right package manually from packages.ubuntu.com for instance [11:34] someone for helpme? [11:34] about my microphone? [11:34] Sterist, yes, gksudo for root access in an application outside terminal [11:34] Dice-Man: my educated guess would be it is enabled.. but never know [11:34] Hi. How to open a file with an assiciated application from console? [11:35] Oerheks so sudo would be appropriate for blkid? [11:35] Sterist, correct, as long as it is an service or the output happens inside terminal [11:35] can i ask for he,p here? [11:35] help* [11:36] asdfasd: sure [11:36] When I plug in a USB memory stick, VLC starts... does anyone know how to go back to the old dialogue box? people keep saying to go to remove able media settings but there is no option for USB. and the other alternative is to disable all action on media insert, which is an improvement but not what I want, and still, when i click on a memory stick in the unity bar, it opens VLF instead of nautilus. Anyone worked it out? [11:36] Onkeltem: i believe there is gnome-open [11:36] on 11.10 and not on 11.04 [11:36] OerHeks: understood :) tyvm [11:36] ActionParsnip: thanks, works! [11:37] asdfasd: open nautilus, right click a folder and select open with. select nautilus as the app and remember the association. click ok should be ok [11:37] Onkeltem: nice [11:37] ActionParsnip: btw, does Ubuntu use mailcap? I mean, there probably should be some way to get this via mailcap [11:38] Great! why did it default to VLC? Also, when i plug it in now it opens nautilus, can i get it to offer other options? [11:39] asdfasd: if you do some silly association, it will be used. You probably plugged something in and told the OS to use vlc [11:39] ActionParsnip: you see gnome-open is limited to Gnome, while KDE is using soemthing else. I believe there must be something some unified way to run apps [11:39] ahh thats anoying. [11:40] Onkeltem: kde has it's own thing, you could write a script to abstract between the two [11:40] Thanks alot [11:41] i dont know what i have done wrong. just installed ubuntu 11.10 side by side with win 7, get the grub rescue prompt. currently on the live cd. suggestions? [11:41] Onkeltem: could try xdg-open in both, may just be ok [11:41] omg windows is trash!!! k sorry had to blow some steam.. [11:41] ActionParsnip: Ah, ok thanks [11:42] also, is the ctrl alt 9 thing a bug? or is there a setting that i have to change? [11:42] ActionParsnip: i've just created alias 'go' = gnome-open. [11:42] asdfasd: Ive seen it a lot on launchpad, simple to fix [11:42] ActionParsnip: less typing ) [11:42] Onkeltem: nice, does xdg-open not run in both? [11:42] ActionParsnip: What's any good? [11:43] Can I set an alias that extends to my whole computer? [11:43] p1l0t: how do you mean? [11:43] NetRunnerBlack: /etc/environment may do it [11:43] ActionParsnip: haven't tried, using only Gnome ) I was asked about KDE in educational purposes ) [11:43] Onkeltem: gotcha [11:43] asking* [11:44] ActionParsnip: You sent me a message at 5:19 saying is it any good.. maybe it was a mistake I wasn't even at work yet. [11:45] one more thing, when i adjust the volume on my keyboard it makes a rediculouse "Boop boop boop" sound that wasnt there in 11.04 and i cant find where to disable it, do you know where? [11:45] p1l0t: ah, can't remember dude, sorry.

[11:58] Oddness. my wireless keyboard just went berzerk. now its working fine.. [11:59] gentoofan: may be in the backports repo [12:00] hey guys, do you know why ubuntu 10.04 (LTS) is taking so long to include the latest version of firefox? (so far, we're stuck at v. 3.6.23) [12:00] sgillet: theres ppa's and other ways to get it i imagine [12:00] !ff [12:00] firefox is the default web browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion | To install plugins: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxPlugins [12:01] ActionParsnip: How do I access the backports repository? [12:01] !backports [12:01] If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [12:01] I've started off with a mini package, how can i get GDM and XORG to start ins tread of the console on boot ? [12:02] sgillet: It isn't taking any time at all. Canonical's policy is to not provide us with updates from upstream. -_- [12:02] ofog: normally if you install gdm, it should setitself to auto run at boot time. Unless you are using the 'text' boot option [12:02] dr_willis: yep.. ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable [12:02] sgillet: ther ya go.. use the ppa. [12:02] dr_willis: I've installed GDM and it doesn't start auto [12:02] sgillet: If I can figure out how to upgrade python, it would be trivial to install the latest version of firefox using Gentoo Prefix. [12:02] So i am trying boot-repair, and get the error http://paste.ubuntu.com/719600/ [12:02] ofog: does 'sudo service gdm start' work? [12:03] dr_willis: "job is already running" [12:03] ofog: perhaps its on one of the alt-ctrl-F# displays. [12:03] it's not an issue of installing it (already did it through ppa).. just wondering why it's taking that long for the default aptitude packages [12:04] ofog: how about a 'sudo service gdm restart' [12:04] sgillet: its not going to ever be released that way. [12:04] Time to wget; ./configure; make; make install -_- [12:04] dr_willis: and the reason is... [12:04] see what gentoofan said above... [12:05] dr_willis: i have no keyboard for the computer, I'm connected via serial, the commuter has a display though [12:05] its not how Ubuntu works with LTS/Security releases. [12:05] sgillet: That is canonical's policy. If you don't like it, use a rolling distribution. [12:05] ofog: you could ssh in i guess. [12:05] sgillet: People in #gentoo can help you with that if you are interested in trying one. [12:05] dr_willis: I'm connected to it on serial, restarting does nothing [12:05] gentoofan: enable them in software centre... [12:05] ofog: no idea then. No mesages at all eh? [12:06] ofog: how about 'startx' does that work? [12:06] ActionParsnip: How? I don't even know if software center is installed. [12:06] dr_willis: no its not even on the system.. but i would have though it would get installed with either flux box or GDM ?!?! [12:06] ofog: sudo apt-get install gdm, should setup gdm to start at boot.. [12:07] ofog: you could see what 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm' says. [12:07] ActionParsnip: I am doing this over SSH. [12:07] !find startx [12:07] File startx found in gambas2-doc, ltsp-client-core, manpages-it, manpages-pl, xfce4-utils, xinit, xmanpages-ja [12:07] i seem to recall startx being some part of some other package.. xinit perhaps? [12:08] gentoofan: you may be able to uncomment the repos in /etc/apt/sources.list [12:09] ActionParsnip: Will this provide python 2.7? I don't see it on the website: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid-backports/python/ [12:09] In fact, very little was backported at all. [12:10] gentoofan: it may do, not sure [12:10] dr_willis: ill install xinit then, but do i need to change any init scripts or anything ? [12:10] gentoofan: there may be a ppa for it [12:11] ActionParsnip: What is a ppa?

I heard of a ISO boot, but never tried [13:20] texas: if you dontknow what grub2 even is.. i suggest you make a usb installer then., [13:21] which one would you recomend dr_willis [13:21] yeah im still wet behind the ears [13:21] texas: I always make usb installers.. and keep them handy, [13:21] how to disable synflood protection? trying to run benchmarks for web service and it starts dropping packages after about five requests. ubuntu server 11.10 [13:21] Its possible theres some simple fix for youre wireless issue. mentioned at askubuntu.com also texas . [13:21] i went through the forums and nothing seem to work [13:22] step by step over and over [13:22] texas: askubuntu.com is differnt then the forums... [13:22] everyone else saw results [13:22] been there as well [13:22] its possible you mised a step also. [13:22] i dont know how [13:22] ive been pulling my hair out over this [13:22] i got a broadcom b4312 here. [13:23] running 11.10? [13:23] worked with no issues. - clean install of 11.10 just now. [13:23] I checked the install updates, and 3rd party stuff at the start of the install.. it did it all. [13:23] i was connected to the wired network when i installed. [13:23] do you have a switch that turns the reciever on and of? [13:23] texas: yes theres a switch. [13:24] texas: I have seen laptops that if you turn OFF the wilress with the switch. you had to boot to windows to turn them back on. :) [13:24] im not putting that poison back on my machine lol [13:24] it acted a similar way when i upgraded to natty [13:25] texas: what similar way? [13:25] switch seemed dead then i removed the driver and installed it my self [13:25] worked like a charm [13:25] I make it a point to never touch the switch. :) [13:25] i knew it was going to happen [13:26] no idea if it even works on my new install or not. [13:26] it should [13:26] mine did [13:26] I did notice the addational driver tool had some 'post install' driver packages [13:27] can i make a bootdisk on a drive that has other files on it [13:28] if you knew enough grub2. yes. depending on the FS of the otehr drive.. [13:28] lol none [13:29] #archlinux [13:29] #arch [13:29] ive got a 320g external i have all my movies and what not on [13:29] its most likely ntfs. and im not sure that grub2 can boot an iso file from ntfs. [13:29] #archlinux [13:29] i got a 3TB external with my movies. :P [13:29] i converted to fat32 [13:30] for my ps3 [13:30] hey everybody :D [13:30] It might work then.. but i suggest you make backups... [13:30] k ima try and find a blank dvd or somethin [13:30] texas: do you hae any live cds at all from other installs? [13:30] craaaap [13:31] i forgot i dont have a dvd burner [13:31] how to force filesystem check on next reboot ? [13:31] !fsck [13:31] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [13:31] no ive just been upgrading and have long since lost my original cd [13:31] you can burn an cd iso to a dvd.. but not sure how that would work if its not a dvd burner... [13:31] thk ! [13:31] texas: i rarely upgrade.. seems to just cause to many issues [13:32] my cheese webcam software doesnt workk in ubuntu 11.10.opens up but no picture [13:32] so just do it manulay? [13:32] wow [13:32] Syd23: run cheese from terminal, look for error messages in termianl output [13:32] ohk [13:32] manually [13:32] dr_willis how? [13:32] open terminal... run cheese... [13:32] gnome-terminal, command is 'cheese' [13:33] dr_willis i know..sorry [13:33] ;) [13:33] I did find it interesting how the installer fired up my webcam and wanted to take my picture... [13:33] dr_willis a lot of errors :| [13:34] iceroot- http://pastebin.com/WbhYjXSE ok, now when i boot to 2.6.38.....it says (Apparmor 2.4 patch missing) and stops at (init) [13:34] too bad the piture was so dark it was unuseable. [13:34] Tech-1: seems your kernel is not configured to use apparmor [13:34] so do you think giving a fresh install of 11.10 is a better option than downgrading [13:35] dr_willis- ok, can you point me to where i can do that ? [13:35] texas: i see no point in going to an older release. if you havent tried a clean install of 11.10 [13:35] so what the fuck is the problem with ubuntu syncookie? after inspecting it more sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies=0 only disables that protection for connections from localhost [13:35] Tech-1: No idea. I dont do custome kernels.. one of the reasons i use ubuntu. [13:35] !kernel [13:35] The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) [13:35] well crap heres another hour 45 min download [13:35] what folder is the default wallpaper in? [13:35] dr_willis- its from ubuntu_kernel [13:35] texas: torrent cd download here = 5 min. :) [13:35] dr_willis found a lot of errors ..what should i be doing? [13:35] is this #ubuntu-desktop or really nobody can't answer to that? [13:36] luist: /usr/share/backgrounds/warty-final-ubuntu.png [13:36] where did you get the torrent [13:36] Syd23: making sence of the errors [13:36] tpb [13:36] ? [13:36] texas: the ubuntu homepage has links [13:36] luist: usr/share/backgrounds i believe [13:36] texas: as does the TOPIC of the channel :) [13:36] Hi. It seems I can't hibernate on my 11.10 4Gb laptop. free -m says 0/9857 swap has been used. UUID in fstab and /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume matches and my swap partition is listed when running swapon -s. I've run sudo update-initramfs -u. But it seems when I close the laptop lid it turns off as it should, but too quickly for having saved os state to disk. Anyone experienced this? [13:36] clipartcat: this is #ubuntu [13:36] dr_willis help me! [13:37] xangua: thanks :) [13:37] Syd23: you could start by pastebining the output of the errors.. [13:37] Syd23: has that webcam ever worked in any ubuntu?

[13:38] hey guys… i want to replace unity with gnome. but when i install gnome it takes like 400-500MB and when i "completely unninstal" unity i free like 2MB…. how can i do it right? can i remove ALL the packages with unity in their names? [13:38] luist: unity is a shell on top of gnome-3 [13:38] dr_willis i have a laptop..hp dv6 [13:39] luist: i suggest not trrying to remove it.. === fred_ is now known as Guest35900 [13:39] niiiice [13:39] dr_willis: rly? unity sucks so bad [13:39] Syd23: means very little to me.. You may want to check the forums and askubuntu.com for the exact make of laptop. [13:39] dr_willis totem-video-thumbnailer couldn't open file 'file:///home/aditya/Videos/Webcam/2011-10-18-233501.ogv' [13:39] Reason: Stream contains no data.. [13:39] dr_willis: why was gnome replaced? [13:39] luist: use gnome-shell then [13:39] ohk thanx [13:39] gnome was not replaced.. it became gnome-3 [13:39] luist: Gnome is not replaced. Unity uses Gnome 3.2. [13:39] All vim colorschemes look weird in my terminal. They don't look like the screenshots. Running Xubuntu 11.10. :( [13:40] dr_willis: do i have to install anything? [13:40] wehgwg: many terminal apps have a 'console' color scheme setting [13:40] !gnome-shell [13:40] luist: no [13:40] luist: install gnome-shell ifyou want to use gnome-shell [13:40] gnome is already there [13:40] dr_willis: thats 80MB :T [13:40] luist: so? [13:41] dr_willis: then how do i use it after installed [13:41] do you want to use gnome-shell? [13:41] dr_willis, so if I just want to run plain vim with no GUI I'll have to live with horrible colorschemes? [13:41] ubuntu-11.10-dvd-i386.iso.torrentso i should choose [13:41] theres dozens of sites/guides on using gnome-shell in 11.10 it will have a gnome entry on the login screen after its installed. [13:41] luist: install gnome-shell, log out, change which session type you log into using the cog wheel on lightdm login screen [13:41] wehgwg: you mean the colors IN the console are messed up? [13:41] dr_willis: i just dont want this terrible unity interface… its a cheap mac copy which doesnt work properly [13:41] luist: leave the ranting behind.. [13:41] luist: if it's not working properly, consider reporting bugs as well [13:42] !bug | luist [13:42] if you want to use gnome-shell then install it and try it out. [13:42] luist: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [13:42] dr_willis, Well, in vim. It looks weird. [13:42] wehgwg: vim in the console? or in X? [13:42] Question. I'm looking for something like Microsoft SQL Management Studio. Trying to keep from having to dual boot away from delicious, delicious Unity. Is LibreOffice Base my best (free) option? [13:42] dr_willis, X terminal emulator [13:42] wehgwg: and many terminal emulators have their own color settings/schemes.. [13:42] hmm [13:43] wehgwg: I belive i always tell terminator/gnome-terminal to use the console color scheme. [13:43] luist, its probably best to leave the unity parts installed and just use gnome-shell, but you can see what unity packages are installed with dpkg -l "*unity*" if you remove them and break your system thats your business [13:43] dr willis the iso is 1.5g so i would have to use a dvd huh? [13:43] luist: if you dont even know about gnome-shell.. you may hate it more then unity. :) [13:43] dr_willis, found something about the subject. will read up on it http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Using_GUI_color_settings_in_a_terminal [13:43] :) [13:43] texas: what iso is that big? [13:43] dr_willis: really? [13:44] http://torrent.ubuntu.com/releases/oneiric/release/dvd/ [13:44] luist: yes [13:44] luist: you have no clue what gnome-shell is.. so you dont know if yiu like it or not.. :) [13:44] texas: why are you getting the dvd? [13:44] i thought it would fit on a cd they all use to [13:44] casue im dumb [13:44] texas: a dvd is not a cd. :) the normal iso file is 700mb. [13:44] dr_willis, I've noticed you're in here a lot, helping people. That's really cool :) [13:44] thats what i thought [13:45] !helpersnack | dr_willis [13:45] dr_willis: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [13:45] dr_willis: h00k: well considering im using a live USB and i cant log out and theres no login screen… how do i change to gnome-shell [13:45] luist: you just installed gnome-shell on a live-cd boot? [13:45] http://torrent.ubuntu.com/releases/oneiric/release/ [13:45] dr_willis: live USB, not cd [13:45] whch do i pick [13:45] luist: No idea really. try logging out and seeing i guess.. [13:46] dr_willis: just said i cant log out :T [13:46] texas: the normal desktop iso. 700mb, for the arch. you want.. [13:46] dr_willis: i can restart :) [13:46] luist: sudo service lightdm restart perhaps... [13:46] it says amd 64 doesnt that mean 64bit [13:46] unless theres a pereistnat save file on your usb setup. [13:46] texas: yes [13:46] luist: you can download a gnome-shell live cd from gnome3.org ;) [13:47] immm pretty sure my comp isnt 64 [13:47] xangua: its a USB!!!!!! [13:47] gnome3+gnome shell* [13:47] texas: then go 32bit.. [13:47] luist: you can run: gnome-shell --replace to switch shells [13:47] gnome-shell --replace might look a little weird... [13:47] that will be an option when i instal? [13:47] luist: it's the same, you can run it from a cd or usb, whatever you like [13:47] texas: will what be an option? === devel is now known as dvdevel [13:48] ok.. gnome shell sucks [13:48] Anyone ever ran in to an issue with ubuntu install hanging shorty after loading usb devices. I see the error "/sbin/modprobe -bv pci:v00000….' [176] terminated by signal 9 (Killed)" [13:48] i want gnome back [13:48] texas: you download the iso for the arch. of cpu you have. 32 or 64bit. [13:48] and then it just hangs [13:48] http://torrent.ubuntu.com/releases/oneiric/release/desktop/ [13:48] luist: if you mean 'gnome-2' then well.. use an older release.. or get over it.. gnome-2 is basically dead. [13:48] dr_willis: i still can't get GDM to start! [13:48] im not seeing a 32 bit option [13:48] just saw this https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/i386/boot-troubleshooting.html under "System Freeze while Loading USB Modules" [13:48] luist: you want back somethins is already there¿ [13:48] something* [13:49] texas: the normal x86 is 32bit [13:49] xangua: its not here… unless i spend 500MB [13:49] hello can i change a name of a network interface? from eth1 to wlan0 for example (it is a wifi card that it is recognized as eth and not wlan) [13:49] ? [13:49] if you want an old-skool type desktop.. theres xfce, or lubuntu these days [13:49] luist: it is, are you trolling¿ ubuntu 11.10 comes with gnome3.2 [13:49] im sorry im so terrible [13:49] xangua: oh god [13:50] will one of those files work for me or where would i find it [13:50] luist: Gnome is already installed with Oneiric. [13:50] texas: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download [13:50] h00k: i just want the old interface back.. whats so hard to understand [13:50] texas: they are all listed at the torrents listing [13:50] texas: use the torrent links there. [13:50] could not compile using gcc with error message "cc1: error: /usr/local/include/i386-linux-gnu: Permission denied" !!! [13:51] luist: Gnome 2 is dead, but you can use something like it [13:51] !nounity | luist you mean 2 panels¿ chekc fallback mode [13:51] luist: if you mean 'gnome-2' then well.. use an older release.. or get over it.. gnome-2 is basically dead. [13:51] luist you mean 2 panels¿ chekc fallback mode: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [13:51] luist: Propably sudo apt-get install gnome-panel will make you less unhappy [13:51] the fallback and classic type interfaces 'look' similer.. but can often act very differntly [13:51] now i cant uninstall the 80MB of gnome-shell junk…. [13:52] awesome [13:52] http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.10/ubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent [13:52] so now that i have that going how is everyone [13:53] how do i remove all the deps that gnome-shell installed? i removed gnome-shell already [13:53] luist: you are on a live-usb? does it have a persistant save file? [13:53] I'm looking to learn PHP, but need a linux guide. Any good ones that you guys can think of? For a complete beginner :P [13:53] mang0: consider asking ##php [13:53] dr_willis: yes [13:53] h00k: *facepalm* k [13:53] mang0: no joke, i learned it with php for dummies [13:54] luist: it has a persistant save file? if not.. well this is rather pointless :) then again. ive found live-cd+persistant saves. often very flakey once you trying to do major changes to the system [13:54] MonkeyDust: That's just the sort of thing I'm looking for; "Php for dummies" or "Learn PHP the hard way" :P [13:55] dr_willis: i already said yes… it doest have a persistant save file [13:55] luist: so once you reboot.. all this stuff will be lost... [13:55] mang0: Dont get me wrong, but php have best (of all known to me) documentation online. [13:56] dr_willis: wtf… it will not be lost [13:56] luist: so lets start from the beginning.. and ask what are you trying to acomplish exactly? [13:56] luist: you did a LIVE install to a usb. with OUT a save file.. it will be lost.. [13:56] mang0: It's not that hard, or different from windows :).. Config files are elsewhere, and you get a much cooler command line tool by default, but apart from that it's pretty much the same.. [13:56] WITH a save file.. it will be saved.. [13:56] Slartibart: Oh good :)! [13:56] hello can i change a name of a network interface? from eth1 to wlan0 for example (it is a wifi card that it is recognized as eth and not wlan) [13:57] dr_willis: now i just want to get rid of this gnome-shell entirely… since you guys made me install it like it was going to bring the old gnome panel back [13:57] BrixSat: my wirless works and its eth2.. im not even sure what eth1 is.. my wired is eth0 :) [13:57] dr_willis: dude… it has a save file… it keeps all the information. i said that 3 times already [13:57] BrixSat: Why do it? Why not just leave it as it is. [13:57] luist: gnome-shell has a classic/fallback mode thats similer to the old gnome-2 we said. [13:57] anyone able to connect to a novell authenticated network share? [13:58] dr_willis: it is NOT similiar… i installed and it looks even worse than unity [13:58] usr13: i got a bunch of scripts that are looking for wlan0 and not eth1 [13:58] luist: thers no gnome-2 for 11.10 to get back to the original gnome-2 setup. just similer look alikes. [13:58] BrixSat: Just change the scripts. [13:58] dr_willis: i got it… i just want to remove this junk. === sysadamin|away is now known as sysadamin [13:58] luist: so what are you going to use instead? [13:58] usr13: not a god option, i cant touch them to complex for a imple change [13:58] dr_willis: for now unity [13:58] BrixSat: Exactly what are you trying to accomplish? [13:59] dr_willis: i want to remove the 80MB of deps that gnome-shell installed [13:59] usr13: from eth1 to wlan0 (that is my wifi card recognized as eth1) [13:59] BrixSat: IS this a gateway? [13:59] dr_willis: but "completely remove" in synaptic will just remove package gnome-shell itself [13:59] usr13: no it is not a gateway [14:02] BrixSat: Try editing the /etc/iftab file [14:03] Does anyone have a problem on hibernation? [14:04] athena: not here [14:05] usr13: no such file [14:05] athena: dell latitude D420 works 100% out of the box :) [14:05] BrixSat: Sorry. [14:06] BrixSat: This file maintains persistent names for network interfaces: /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [14:06] ok :) i will try it [14:06] BrixSat: sudo vim /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [14:06] change eth1 to wlan0 [14:06] Good luck [14:07] is it so that ubuntu does not support gnome classic anymore?

[14:16] i am mostly interested in java plugins for browsers [14:16] i confused [14:16] I found this line though in the dmesg output: "Valid eCryptfs headers not found in file header region or xattr region", but that shouldn't have anything with my previously encrypted swap partition to do, right? [14:16] Slartibart: I use a fully encrypted lvm and hibernation works for me [14:16] anra: if you have an ubuntu-related question, ask it now. [14:16] im beginner here.. please help :) [14:16] bradford: mIRC is one of many IRC clients. :) [14:17] anis152003: What do you have and what do you need.

[14:17] except the qemu, any virtual machine available? [14:17] but mIRC seems so popular! [14:17] ubuntu 10.10 [14:17] blackbuntu [14:17] weiyang: virtualbox is what I use [14:18] How difficult is it to add encryption to your home directory AFTER the install is completed? [14:18] Slartibart: installed stuff with alternative boot cd, worked out of the box [14:18] i already have a program.. but i cannot compile [14:18] Guest57967: not hard.

[14:19] axisys, since my machine is old, it don't have vt [14:19] Guest57967: Google found this: [14:19] axisys, so the qemu is very slow [14:19] anis152003: See my PM [14:19] when I download something with chrome and I go and select "Show in folder".. then it opens the folder where the downloaded file is ,, then I get a message "Ubuntu One : Operations on this folder are disabled because there is no network connection",,,, yersterday the whole system froze because of this !!!! [14:19] bradford: mIRC is not very popluar here. :) since its a windows app.. [14:19] axisys, so virtual box will be faster? [14:19] bradford: and to be honest..its not that great of a IRC client. [14:19] weiyang: you have to try it to find out [14:19] Guest57967: Google found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1449168 [14:19] edbian: found what? [14:19] ah [14:19] thank you [14:19] Guest57967: :P [14:20] dr_willis: what other clients can i use then? [14:20] SunTsu: Humm =s.. Well, I guess I should learn how to make it work without encryption first. You don't have to enter any extra passwords or anything, right? [14:20] edbian: I saw some links like this but I was trying to find one specific for 11.10 in case 11.10's way of doing it was different. I suppose it's not? [14:20] I'm learning data structures right now! extendible hasing! [14:20] weiyang: Without VT Virtualbox is *much* faster than qemu. [14:20] hashing* [14:20] Guest57967: That's almost always not an issue (the exact version number). [14:20] weiyang, virtualbox is one of the fastest Ive seen for graphics. if you dont need graphics, like with a server, then kvm is fine [14:20] Slartibart: well, after waking up you need to unlock your encrypted stuff again [14:21] Guest57967: People are not going to release a million new how-to's every six month because of a version number change. [14:21] bradford: you are using mIRC on linux? [14:21] weiyang: qemu needs to fall back to complete emulation of the CPU, Virtualbox doesn't.

[14:25] mothy: what's your specific question [14:25] Dmole: its ntfs-3g i thought these days. Its possible ythat list is Not showing the modules for fs's you can load. [14:25] hi folks, is it like a known issue that when upgrading to Ubuntu 11.10 that all kinds of icons in the Applications Menu disappear? [14:26] jakes: you should ask - or demand in your case - that on the backtrack channel [14:26] jakes: with the changes to 11.10 and gnome-3 it most likely is not possible. [14:26] i did some mistake and i wanna set all my network manager settings to is default how can i [14:26] sagaci: i'm trying to install LAMP in ubuntu. can't get php to start, my test.php in the /var/www folder comes up with a 404 not found when i try to browse to that file [14:26] axisys, i check your pointed page, well a bad news is i use ubuntu 9.10 [14:26] dr_willis: exfat is the replacement for FAT32 it's supported by win, mac, and linux [14:26] axisys, on the page no proper one [14:26] Dmole: i thought that was vfat.. or am i getting confused again. :) [14:27] weiyang: that's an unsupported/end-of-life version [14:27] after upgrading my ubuntu server from 11.04 to 11.10 it always starts with a gui... does anyone know how to get it to start without it? [14:28] weiyang: 9.10 is karmic ? i dont remember .. then use the section below [14:28] Dmole: i seem tobe accessing a HPFS/NTFS/exFAT filesystem just fine. (from what sudo fdisk -l) calls my windows partition. :) [14:28] dr_willis: vfat is fat32 with long names still limited to 2 TB [14:28] I wanna set my network connections to its default , i mean how they are going to be when i installed Ubuntu [14:28] weiyang: Debian-based Linux distributions [14:28] I'm going by the tutorial here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP and i'm getting stuck at the "Checking PHP 5 installation" part [14:28] jakes: again, please stop asking about backtrack here.

[14:30] dr_willis: i dont know the difference between gnome shell and gnome2 [14:31] Gnome shell = gnome 3 [14:31] dr_willis: seems searching $PATH for mk* is the best option so far~ [14:31] mothy: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [14:31] mothy: why 777 for read? [14:31] dr_willis: what i want is the gnome interface [14:31] arunkumar413: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the Unity shell by default, so if you're using a default install of Ubuntu you're using GNOME. The question then is what do you not like about your current system? [14:31] mothy: 755 should be more than enough [14:32] segaci i've done that several times, still get a 404 [14:32] mothy: go to #httpd channel [14:32] mothy: it is really an apache issue [14:32] Does anyone know of any open source tools that can handle pack management on windows/cross platform [14:32] s/pack/patch [14:32] mothy: prepare to provide them w/ your error log [14:32] RhysMorgan: bzr [14:33] axisys: i cannot send to that channel [14:33] Jordan_U: i didn't like this unity . may be i should switch to gnome shell [14:33] mothy: send what?

[14:51] ActionParsnip: yes [14:51] Slartibart: oh I know, it's frustrating. But more seriously now, what you can try is to 'sudo s2ram -f [-a 1'. if that doesn't work, it probably means you have too much in ram compared to your swap size, so you just need to close your browser for example. if that works, it means the brilliant ubuntu scripts are failing for some other reason.

It's a bit messy but it's all I can suggest. If you have about 30Gb flapping around, you could setup one system as a repo and then point the second system to get its updates from that.

I'll try running the app. === [DO]RigleTesting is now known as [DO]Rigel [15:10] auronandace: great, i'll check it out [15:10] dang, same error [15:10] auronandace: thanks [15:10] I'll try again in case it's case sensitive [15:10] syntaxe: no worries :) [15:10] !xfce | syntaxe [15:10] syntaxe: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME.

[15:11] ah great [15:11] when i plug in a screen in to my laptop, it just says "No signal", any ideas? [15:11] I'll let these updates install and then reboot. [15:11] ActionParsnip: im not english speaker, what do u mean by 'giggle'? [15:11] galagala: do you have a shortcut combo to switch the output? [15:11] nimbiotics: fun, a laugh [15:12] ActionParsnip, nope? how do i do that? [15:13] galagala: look at your keyboard or read you manual or look online to see what makes it happen [15:13] ActionParsnip, oh! i thought it had to do with ubuntu [15:13] galagala: what make and model is the system? [15:13] ActionParsnip, an acer aspire [15:14] galagala: what model aspire? [15:14] Hi. I'm on Gentoo, trying to make LightDM (which, so I understood, you guys use), and I can't make it. Starts with /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.5.3/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -llightdm-gobject-1 [15:14] ActionParsnip: oic [15:14] ManDay: gentoo isn't supported here [15:14] ManDay: ask #gentoo [15:14] ActionParsnip: I got luck, check this out: http://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/how-to-synchronize-applications-between-multiple-ubuntu-computers/ [15:14] ActionParsnip: Try to read more than one sentence, then talk, eh [15:15] ActionParsnip, 5745dg [15:15] ManDay: "I'm on Gentoo" is all I need [15:15] ManDay: read the topic [15:15] ActionParsnip: THen imagine that I'm on ubuntu if it makes you feel better. Let's try this again... [15:15] Asad2005: lsb_release -a [15:15] ManDay: try reading the topic, eh [15:15] Hi. I'm trying to make LightDM (which, so I understood, you guys use), and I can't make it. Starts with /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.5.3/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -llightdm-gobject-1 [15:15] hh, found it [15:16] ManDay: why don't you just ask in the channel for your distro. There you will have people that actually know about gentoo. Since you have a gentoo problem, they're more likely to be able to help you. Now please stop [15:16] ManDay: try "sudo apt-get install lightdm" [15:16] ManDay: if you are on ubuntu it should be installed by default, why are you compiling it [15:16] sipior: No, I want to make it by hand [15:16] ManDay: then do that. [15:16] dr_willis- had to reload proprietary nvidia drivers, kernel didn't see them, worked like a charm now [15:16] ActionParsnip, 5745dg [15:17] why are you trying to be brats, eh? If you dont know the answer that's allright, just stop that [15:17] I can wait [15:17] ManDay: you're asking us to support a gentoo toolchain, which we have no control over. [15:17] ActionParsnip: THX again! [15:17] sipior: That has aboslutly nothing to do with gentoo [15:17] ManDay: this is Ubuntu support ONLY. It's really that simple [15:17] ManDay: yes, of course it does. [15:17] where does ubuntu logs php errors? [15:17] ActionParsnip: Well do you know where I can find support for LightDM?? [15:18] VictorCL: /var/log may have it [15:18] ManDay: in #gentoo as that is the channel for your distro [15:18] ManDay: do you use the same compiled gcc? the same linker? if you understood what you were doing, you would realise that it very much is a gentoo-specific issue. [15:18] ManDay: or in #gnome perhaps [15:18] is not in apache2/error.log and not on syslog [15:18] ManDay: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-891808-start-0.html [15:19] galagala: try FN+F6 I believe, the F-keys images will show you good things [15:19] ManDay: or #linux [15:19] can any body teach me how to install pthread [15:20] could someone tell me how to show the searchbar in the ubuntu software center? (ubuntu 11.10) [15:20] galagala: or maybe F5. I'm going by an image search, if you look at the keyboard it will give clues [15:21] ActionParsnip, F6 makes the screen black, F5's icon looks like it should do it, but when I press it nothing happens :( [15:21] how to specify to SCP that sourcehost uses port 2222 and desthost uses port 2221? [15:21] galagala: try press each one twice === root is now known as Guest39541 [15:22] george: seems there are a few configs you can apply http://ss64.com/bash/scp.html === Guybrush_Threepw is now known as Guybrush_88 [15:22] !rootirc | Guest39541 [15:22] Guest39541: It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. [15:23] Anon42: is it not in the top right? [15:23] Anon42: is there a view menu in the global menu ? [15:23] ActionParsnip: it dissappeard after i upgraded to 11.10 [15:24] ActionParsnip: yea, there is a menubar [15:24] Anon42: is there a view option? [15:24] How much does Lubuntu mini.iso download from net? [15:24] ActionParsnip: yes [15:24] gulzar: the mini iso is the mini iso, not Lubuntu [15:25] ActionParsnip, they all seem to work, except F5, which seems to be the right one :/ [15:25] ActionParsnip, Ok so then how much is downloaded before we began to install? [15:25] Anon42: is there a 'search box show' or similar option there (I don't use software centre btw, just guessing) [15:25] I am getting a warning when i try to run an update. It's complaining about spotify-client-qt not being trusted, can I force it to update anyway ? [15:25] which command should I use to view this file error.log.46.gz [15:26] Recommended vulnerability scanner? [15:26] ActionParsnip: i know what you up to, but the isn't a option like "show searchbar" [15:26] !av | mattrpav [15:26] My Network Manager has disappeared from my Notification Area. I still connect to my previously chosen Wifi network, but I cannot control anything about it. (Ubuntu 11.04 Gnome Desktop) [15:26] mattrpav: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [15:26] VictorCL: try "zless error.log.46.gz" [15:26] I cannot even find a way to access my network through a program [15:26] auronandace: I have av on my machine at work because there is a policy to have av on all machines :) [15:27] mattrpav: you can use clamav , rkhunter ,chkrootkit [15:27] auronandace: it is basically a waste of CPU whenever it runs a sweep, but, eh, whatever. [15:27] hey you bot what about passing virus with wine ? [15:27] gulzar: the kernel, boot loader and such are installed using the CD as well as setting up users and partitions, lubuntu desktop installs maybe 2Gb of data which will download about 800Mb to 1Gb [15:27] yo, i am having some confusion here. i've added a user, using the nologin script, and did not specify a password, but when i try to run a script using this user and the su command, it asks for a password... [15:27] i'm not looking for a virus scanner [15:27] nemo: eh, i hate red tape too [15:27] any ideaS? [15:27] bobweaver: oh. that was a hilarious one. I once did open a suspected evil file in wine. it did a very bad job of running :) [15:27] did any one here familiar with SDL [15:27] Is there a GUI for changing themes? [15:27] Hi folks.. Anyone know why I get bumped off of my Desktop Manager if something edits the /etc/passwd file? is there a way for Ubuntu to not do that? [15:27] gulzar: looking for a vulnerability scanner.. something that scans your services and matches up against vulnerability database to confirm patches applied, and ideal configs are in place [15:27] bobweaver: I rm -rf'd ~/.wine after [15:28] ActionParsnip: ummm no I mean how much it download at first setup before executing apt-get commands? [15:28] mattrpav: Nessus/openvas/metasploit [15:28] nemo: I know I just like to talk back to the bots [15:28] :>) [15:28] SunTsu: thanks. nessus went commercial, so i'm looking for a OSS one [15:28] mattrpav: OPEN Vas [15:28] gulzar: I'm not sure it does but if it does then not very much as there are few packages to update. The mini iso is tiny [15:28] <- Ubuntu 11.10, btw [15:28] mattrpav: that's why I mentioned openvas, which is the open version of it [15:28] mattrpav: see tripwire .... don't know what you exactly want.. but tripwire checks changes in your files [15:29] bobweaver/SunTus/gulzar: thanks [15:29] ActionParsnip: Ok [15:29] mattrpav: :) [15:29] gulzar: he's not looking for a host ids [15:29] mattrpav: NeXpose is also good [15:29] mattrpav: most if not all of them tools are not passive [15:30] who create UBUNTU [15:30] haha [15:30] anis152003: canonical [15:30] mattrpav: you are better of doing a real pentest first [15:30] hello hello.. i need some help here.. any one can help [15:31] anis152003: mark shuttleworth google it [15:31] anis152003: not really, you haven't told us the problem [15:31] how to install themes in ubuntu 11.10 [15:32] anis152003: but all criedit should go to Debian [15:32] arunkumar4131: http://www.noobslab.com/2011/08/bisigi-15-great-themes-ubuntu-1104.html [15:32] My Network Manager has disappeared from my Notification Area. I still connect to my previously chosen Wifi network, but I cannot control anything about it. (Ubuntu 11.04 Gnome Desktop) How do I get it back up there? Or maybe I can download a program that I can actually run that lets me change settings of my Internet connection? Something, please. [15:32] haha.. i need to link SDL , SDL_net and pthread for my program.. any one know about SDL programming [15:32] hi does anyone know why a user account that is set to use nologin script and no password wuld be askign for a password? [15:32] bobweaver: yes, looking for a tool to do pentest [15:32] i'm a bit confused here and could use some help [15:33] lyn_: run nm-applet [15:33] ActionParsnip: does these work for gnome shell [15:33] arunkumar4131: ah, those are gtk2 only :( [15:33] mattrpav: there are a ton of them passive or aggressive ??? [15:33] i need some help in SDL socket programming.. [15:33] mari00: you need a password to use sudo [15:33] arunkumar4131: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/10/five-pretty-awesome-gnome-shell-themes/ [15:33] ActionParsnip: i want them for gnome-shell [15:33] * [15:33] anis152003: this isn't a programming channel, i'm afraid. [15:33] bobweaver: both, i guess [15:34] I have a DNS issue on ubuntu 11.10 [15:34] anis152003: google claims there is a #sdl here on freenode; might be worth a look there. [15:34] mattrpav: for pen testing take a look at metasploit [15:34] auronandace: i'm trying to run tomcat under a user tomcat6 that is a nologin user... [15:34] anyone know how I can get xorg to remember my screen resolution?, I set the res to 1024x768 using the nVidia X Server config prog, and save it to xorg.conf, but every time I turn the PC on, it reverts back to 800x600 [15:34] mattrpav: this is getting a little off-topic lets talk about it over there . [15:34] I can't use xchat neither empathy [15:34] SunTsu: thanks [15:34] mari00: ah, sorry, i've never done that [15:34] mattrpav: but be sure to be allowed to do what you do [15:34] help help.. or i need to find debian or canonical to fix this [15:35] oha.. lol. yeah [15:35] this is my server [15:35] TY SunTzu! [15:35] just want to make sure we've got the config locked down [15:35] had to reinstall network-manager-gnome also [15:35] auronandace: hmmmmm.... the instructions i'm following told me to set up the account with the nologin script and no passwd and then to use this command: "su -p -s /bin/sh tomcat $CATALINA_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh" [15:35] anis152003: neither debian nor canonical will help you with sdl programming. [15:35] but it is always asking for a pasword. [15:35] Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease [15:35] sipior: why.. [15:36] so saddd [15:36] anis152003: life is hard. [15:36] mattrpav: theny you're not pentesting but doing a security audit. metasploit is way more aggressive as it's goal is to have automated exploiting with reverse shell or stuff [15:36] How can I set DNS search space without DHCP overwriting it in resolv.conf? [15:36] mattrpav: I made blackbuntu KDE I think I k now what I am talkiiing about \ [15:36] mari00: sorry, i've never used tomcat, you may find others might know; also you could ask in #ubuntu-server too [15:36] bobweaver: sweet [15:37] dont just jump into metasploit that is real bad idea [15:37] SunTsu: makes senes. i've been out of the admin biz for a while, just looking for the most current tools [15:37] brice: Set to static IP [15:37] auronandace: ok thanks. [15:37] usr13: Yeah, there has to be another solution. :) [15:37] update-apt-xapi is eating my CPU... any idea what it is? [15:37] brice: you can configure your dhcp client to ignore dns data. [15:37] mattrpav: DL a pentesting distro [15:37] brice: have a look in man dhclient, et alia [15:37] jasef: hungry? :) [15:37] brice: But you could also just change the router's configuration so that it gives out the proper nameserver IPs [15:37] sipior: Thanks, I'll check that out [15:38] hello guys, how can i install a genius colorpage-vivid 4xe scaner [15:38] usr13: I'm on a corporate network :) [15:38] ? [15:38] lol auronandace thanks, but I was hoping to know if it's safe to kill [15:38] I need my cpu back [15:38] Ubuntu 11.10- Anyone know why I get bumped off of my Desktop Manager if something edits the /etc/passwd file? [15:38] jc: how does it connect to the system? [15:38] any staff issues solverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr hear !!!!!????? [15:38] usb [15:38] Tomay: no. [15:38] mattrpav: for a nice collection of tools look at backtrack which is a nice collection [15:38] bobweaver: cool, i'll look into it [15:38] jc: ok then run: lsusb use the 8 character hex ID to find guides [15:38] anyone know how I can get xorg to remember my screen resolution?, I set the res to 1024x768 using the nVidia X Server config prog, and save it to xorg.conf, but every time I turn the PC on, it reverts back to 800x600 [15:38] Tomay: behaving this way only makes people ignore you [15:38] SunTsu: great, thanks. i'll take these ideas and try them out. Thanks everyone! [15:39] sipior: ya.. life is hard.. need to meet debian or canonical to uninstall the UBUNTU to me.. haha... im so stress.. [15:39] brice: Ok, well I'm pretty sure there are provisions in the network manager to ignore domian name server information from dhcp server. [15:39] anis152003: 'uninstall the ubuntu to me' isn't english [15:39] BluesKaj: around? [15:39] jasef: sounds like something connected to apt (so package management), i wouldn't kill it [15:39] ID 0458:201a KYE Systems Corp. (Mouse Systems) ColorPage-Vivid4xe [15:39] Is there an official page that lists all the developers and gives them credit for this project? maybe something like http://www.libreoffice.org/about-us/credits/ ? [15:39] jc: cool, you now have some ammo [15:40] anis152003: good luck with that. [15:40] jc: does simple-scan not just pick it up? [15:40] I can't seem to make apache log php errors :/ [15:40] sipior: SunTsu : ok [15:40] VictorCL: try: sudo updatedb; locate *.log [15:40] ActionParsnip: im malaysian actually.. thats why my english is broken.. hope u dont mind [15:40] not it couldn't [15:40] display_errors : E_ALL and log_error = On on php.ini [15:41] hi i am trying to download sources it say Could not open file /var/lib/apt/lists/in.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_hardy_multiverse_source_Sources - open (2 No such file or directory) [15:41] anis152003: its cool, just remember the subject of the channel ;) [15:41] groups: cannot find name for group ID any ideas ?

[15:42] I dont want to display errors ,just log them [15:42] BluesKaj: hi there, we had a chat a few weeks back regarding the eee pc 1015pn and nvidia drivers etc, I was on arch back then and now on ubuntu. The problem remains with laggy 1080p mkv videos in vlc... Did your netbook have 2gb of ram? [15:42] thanks ActionParsnip [15:42] display_error = Off and log_error = On [15:42] jc: put that into a search engine, see if it yields guides [15:43] until this morning, the unity bar would hide itself behind maximized windows. now it doesn't. any ideas? (11.04) [15:43] and how? [15:43] already midnight.. need to have some sleep.. tomorrow i got to attend lectures [15:43] VictorCL have a look at /var/log/php5 the log files should be in there [15:43] please [15:43] jc: use the text you pasted here [15:43] jc: use that to find guides [15:44] but where exactly? [15:44] n my problem not settle yet.. tomorrow have to come here again.. who can help [15:44] <_joey> Is there an option durin boot time to choose CD instead of HD? [15:45] qirk, no netbook here , but vlc has settings to correct lag if you go into to tools/prefernces/audio and video [15:45] anis152003: whoever is here when you ask next [15:45] <_joey> Is there an option durin boot time to choose to boot from CD instead of HD? [15:45] auronandace:ya.. so clever.. [15:46] BluesKaj: hum perhaps I remember the wrong guy then :) but yeah, I've tried gpu acceleration and filter settings and output adjustments etc.. no progress [15:46] _joey - it will be in your BIOS [15:46] I have a DNS issue on ubuntu 11.10 [15:46] Stress Stress [15:46] Intalled 11.04, and was immediately invited to upgrade to 11.10, so I did. Took almost two hours for the upgrade, which means it would have been vastly better to torrent the iso and just do a fresh install...which I may do anyway [15:47] <_joey> RaTTuS|BIG: it's in vmware [15:47] <_joey> in which I chose to boot of the CD [15:47] Also, not to be a hater, but why-oh-why the switch to iOS style icons for evertying? [15:47] iceroo perhaps it was you that owned an eee pc 1015pn before? [15:47] why i need to learn this.. aiyooooo [15:47] <_joey> however, ubuntu is getting loaded off HDD [15:47] iceroot: perhaps it was you that owned an eee pc 1015pn before? === robert___ is now known as phaedral [15:48] just noticed I forgot to set my nick [15:48] UBuntu UBUNTU IBUNTU [15:48] brice: If there is not a GUI config for it, you can more-than-likely just edit /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf and remove from the subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers, [15:48] I just switched to xubuntu and its awesome, except I can't get rid of this display mirroring -- it wont let me choose to have seperate displays -- where can I set this (everything I found on google was bugs from several years ago) [15:49] jrib, thanks very much .. gimp worked for my needs .. [15:49] avinashhm: yes, gimp is great [15:49] brice: If there is not a GUI config for it, you can more-than-likely just edit /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf and remove from the request section domain-name-servers and domain-search [15:49] namidark: does xbuntu avoid the iphonization in the gui? [15:49] jrib, yeah .. its quite intutive to use also ... cool tool :-) [15:50] namidark: are you using nvidia drivers? [15:50] auronandace: I think, not sure -- how would I tell? [15:50] brice: Ignore my first attempt... I accidentally pasted unwanted text. [15:50] phaedral: xfce is great, give it a try [15:50] its running a ton faster than gnome is thats why i really wanna keep it :( [15:50] Ubuntu 11.10- Anyone know why I get bumped off of my Desktop Manager if something edits the /etc/passwd file? Is this a new feature of GDM? [15:50] ok good night all [15:50] Hello. Any stable filesystem supporting deduplication on ubuntu 11.10? [15:50] auronandace: that's the default w/ xbuntu, right? [15:50] before upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10 i had 3 menus at the top (applications, places, system) and a task bar on the bottom. now i have a sidebar that auto hides. how do i get back to the way it was before upgrading? [15:50] but if I can't get dual displays its not worth it [15:51] !find fallback [15:51] Found: gnome-session-fallback [15:51] namidark: pastebin the output of: lspci [15:51] !info gnome-session-fallback | aaa [15:51] aaa: gnome-session-fallback (source: gnome-session): GNOME Session Manager - GNOME fallback session.

[15:51] I spend more time in crunchbang on my netbook these days and confess I've grown accustomed to the stark simplicity of #!. I don't much like shiny icons or launchers [15:51] When I tried to apply the theme it said cannot find filename...i was picking it out of a list GUI [15:51] auronandace: thx, might just reinstall xbuntu [15:51] auronandace: hmm nevermind this seemed to do it : xrandr --output LVDS --auto --pos 0x0 --right-of VGA1 [15:52] where do you put the extensions (*.so) files on ubuntu? for cgi and cli ? [15:52] phaedral: many are [15:52] anAngel: that said, recent betas are promising. your call :-) [15:52] namidark: awesome, glad you didd it :) [15:52] phaedral: if you install xfce4 you can use a minimal xfce and use your gnome apps [15:52] I cannot see my DVD drive showing up, even though I have a DVD in it that worked a couple of days ago. [15:52] auronadace: gah but now the bottom bar popup thing isnt working haha [15:53] phaedral: you could just: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [15:53] I may have unmounted my DVD drive in error. [15:53] How would I mount my DVD drive please? [15:53] auronandace: you've made my day; will try that [15:53] [15:53] anyone know how I can get xorg to remember my screen resolution?, I set the res to 1024x768 using the nVidia X Server config prog, and save it to xorg.conf, but every time I turn the PC on, it reverts back to 800x600 [15:53] hagus: is it a data dvd or a video dvd?

[15:54] Is there any stable filesystem supporting deduplication for ubuntu 11.10? [15:54] hagus: then it doesn't need mounting [15:54] hagus: in VLC you can click file -> play disk [15:54] When I pop it in its drive, there is whirring and nothing happens [15:54] anAngel: still no. [15:54] namidark: are you using compiz too? [15:54] VLC? [15:54] before upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10 i had 3 menus at the top (applications, places, system) and a task bar on the bottom. now i have a sidebar that auto hides. how do i get back to the way it was before upgrading? [15:54] I've messed something up. "uio" becomes "456", "jkl"=>"123" etc.... unless I press "Fn" button down while typing. Think I've reversed the Fn button. [15:54] hagus: you will have obviously needed to install the DVD decoder [15:55] ah ok [15:55] !nounity | aaa [15:55] thanks ActionParsnip. [15:55] aaa: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [15:55] aaa: install the package ubottu said. [15:55] ActionParsnip I tried that, still the same, [15:55] auronandace: nope [15:55] usalabs: did you click to save to the x config file one you'd set it up? [15:55] !alacarte | aaa [15:55] namidark: hmm, check to see if it is set to autohide in the panel settings [15:55] bobweaver, I'm not using desktop effects, it's the entire desktop res that reverts to 800x600 [15:56] usalabs: what did ActionParsnip say ? try that 1st [15:56] usalabs: when you set it up you need to click the 'save to x config file' to write to xorg.conf [15:56] Hi, i've got some question concerning the installation of kubuntu 11.10. How many partition should I create and what size ? How to configure the bootloader? And is it possible to keep windows selection when I wanna "delete" linux ? [15:57] ActionParsnip yes,,,when I click save to xorg.conf it asks for adminitrator password, then it saves it,,,, and looking at the current xorg.conf it does show the right res, but it sems to be forgotten when the PC is rebooted, or shutdown and restarted later [15:57] usalabs: hmmm, weird [15:57] [15:57] auronandace: When I bring up the panel preferences it shows up but when I close it it hides again - even if i Mouse over where it should be 'show/hide'ing from [15:57] hey im building a driver for my wify card, i need to know where do i select the name of the interface actualy is getting eth1 and i want to make it wlan0 [15:57] hid: it is up to you to make partitions if you want to make one that is for home folder ecty [15:57] ect* [15:57] Solution: I had turned "num lock" on. I needed to press Fn+insert/num-lock, to turn it off. [15:57] ActionPArsnip it only started to happen after I removed the GFX card and cleaned it out [15:57] hi, i have a Logitech 'marble mouse', I want to use one of the buttons to activate scrolling, how can I do that? [15:58] hid: most people just make too one for system one for swap [15:58] ActionParsnip (soory typo on the name lol) it only started to happen after I removed the GFX card and cleaned it out [15:58] auronandace: nevermind :) Switched it to vertical and its working again... back to being productive again haha [15:58] namidark: this is the bottom panel? what screen setup do you have? side by side? [15:58] hid: if you are just testing kubuntu I say to go with 20 gigs you can use tools to resize latter [15:58] auronandace: thanks again for your help [15:58] bobweaver: what do you think of: 10Gib for / , and 3 Gib swap (4Gib of ram) [15:59] namidark: oh, good stuff :) [15:59] hid: that will also work [15:59] hid: with 4Gb RAM you want 4Gb swap [15:59] hid: if you have no interest in hibernate etc then you can omit swap if you wish [15:59] hi,how to enter grub/recovery mode ina vmware ubuntu installation? [15:59] bobweaver: I thought 10Gib wasn't enough. Ohh 4Gib of swap ok === jacob_ is now known as Guest62199 [16:00] tim167: if there's a keyboard shortcut for activating scrolling, you could just have the button play the keyboard shortcut using something like xbindkeys or imwheel [16:00] got 'your user is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.' [16:00] hey im building a driver for my wify card, i need to know where do i select the name of the interface actualy is getting eth1 and i want to make it wlan0 === Guest62199 is now known as jacobfogg [16:00] hid: ten will be I thinkthat kubuntu needs like 4 at bare min [16:00] obert-: you are in trouble now! Did you install this ubuntu? [16:00] :( [16:00] hid: but 20 would be nice [16:00] jrib: thanks, looking at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Logitech_Marblemouse_USB now... [16:00] but if all you have is ten then that is it [16:01] jrgp: yes i did. but perhaps yesterday i'd played badly with chown [16:01] hid: if you have 4gigs of ram why not test in virtual box ? [16:01] tim167: that documentation looks outdated [16:01] ActionParsnip: really, I though the swap was required on linux [16:01] Has anyone got Compiz Fusion working for Ubuntu 11.10??? [16:01] jrib: yes i know, but it might still work, i hope...? [16:02] hid: i run fine without swap [16:02] hid: but i never suspend or hibernate [16:03] jrib: although for starters, I already have no such file as "50-marblemouse.conf" [16:03] hid: you'll generally want at least *some* swap. optimising cheap hard disk space for expensive ram is never clever. depends on what you can spare, of course. [16:03] bobweaver: I tried once but I had pb with ethernet card and the os was very slow. [16:03] Hi! LightDM seems to prefer Unity over a user's choice.. any setting that would be preventing me from running Gnome-Shell? [16:03] hid: did you play with the network settings ? [16:03] jrib: will probably have to edit xorg.conf, right? [16:03] How do I fix Package 'tango' has no installation candidate [16:04] tim167: nope [16:04] Newbeeans_: look for the CDE copy of it or jump into depedencey h^&* [16:04] bobweaver: i'm sorry but i dont know how to do that [16:04] that ok [16:05] tim167: i'm not sure what you want to do. Does "activate scrolling" mean "middle click"? [16:05] jrib: I just looked inside xorg.conf, there's nothing there that looks like input device settings...things have changed lately it seems... [16:05] Newbeeans_: http://www.stanford.edu/~pgbovine/cde.html [16:05] Newbeeans_: CDE ^^ [16:05] hey guys [16:05] So I abondoned thinking my laptop was the cause. Though it was new. [16:05] anyone familiar with ubuntu lunix in here? [16:06] :( [16:06] why do i get all these kind of issues?:( [16:06] jrib: well, when I click my 'button 2', now it is mapped to 'page back' (or something like that, backspace?...) but I want to use that button as middle click / activate scrolling... [16:06] liamchat99: probably one or two, yes... [16:06] liamchat99: many are [16:06] hey anyone? [16:06] liamchat99: something we can help you with? [16:07] do you know where I can find someone familiar with lunix? [16:07] bobweaver: nope, nothing. I tried with the ethernet cable andthe wifi but still nothing. [16:07] oh, thank you [16:07] Newbeeans_: have you also tried this http://sourceforge.net/projects/tango-cs/ [16:07] i think this "irc" is so slow [16:07] anyway [16:07] liamchat99: are you deliberately spelling linux wrong? [16:07] at school a teacher asked us to get some infos on this ubuntu thing [16:08] tim167: ah yes, then you can probably use that documentation but read only the section about xinput [16:08] auronandace: my teacher called it "lunix".

I have kernel headers here, and no trace of that file [16:55] ubidoobi2: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Smartmontools [16:55] ubidoobi2: I think he means use Disk Utility, etc, to take a look at the SMART data [16:56] i don't have any os installed on the drive right now [16:56] ubidoobi2: you can run ubuntu off a liveCD/liveUSB. Disk Utility is installed. [16:56] i can't access that website. Domain unregistered [16:56] anybody running ubuntu server with KVM or virtual cloud and CFengine ?

[16:59] ActionParsnip, yes i restarted now with the same result as previous times. It only goes to the Ubuntu text with dots below and then it just stays there frozen [16:59] It does, but I'm using vnc [16:59] ActionParsnip, so i have to cold boot it on the power button and start in failsafe mode [16:59] i found some setting for x org i believe but i may have been hallucinating [16:59] agemoi100 [16:59] and since I'm not on Ubuntu, but close to it, I don't know how your side works :) === jrobles is now known as joebuntu [17:00] ActionParsnip, how can that be solved?

I'm getting what I believe to be gksudo permission issues though. Standard sudo is fine, but any graphical interface like update manager or software center won't actually install anything [17:04] skrillexfan55: do you have a ubuntu support question? [17:05] Whether prompt there will be still numbers Voogue with a player? [17:05] enigma456, ask lots of questions.

It will completely destroy your computer [17:06] ActionParsnip, ? [17:06] Error skipping startup message. Your shell is probably incompatible with the application (BASH is recommended). [17:06] thats what i get from my winscp end [17:06] Whether prompt there will be still numbers Voogue or Playboy with a player? [17:06] enigma456: read wikies , go to ubuntu forums , http://askubuntu.com/ and ...

[17:08] ActionParsnip , can you check this out man? http://paste.ubuntu.com/719841/ [17:08] diverdude: could be worth a shot, if you delete the xorg.conf file and uninstall the driver you can reboot to the desktop [17:08] i want compile metacity [17:08] with composite manager [17:08] erikandre: when you have autologin you dont provide your passcode, which is what usually unlocks stuff. [17:08] hi there [17:08] ActionParsnip , i need to have my vinstaff users be able to write to /usr/local/NetSapiens/SiPbx/data [17:08] and only that directory [17:08] but i dont want window preview when ALT+TAB [17:08] erikandre: by using autologin you dont unlock the keyring because you didnt put in a passcode [17:08] hey guys, I'm setting up 12 machines with 11.10 to be used by some people new to ubuntu, I'm trying to write an easy document for installation that they can follow and I'm stuck at how to configure twinView.

[17:09] ActionParsnip, now im trying to activate it to see what it will do [17:09] hi [17:10] my question is, can I tell them to set up twinView in any other way than sudo nvidia-settings and generating a xorg.conf?

I've instaled banshee through the sinaptic package manager but it doesn't work. (I'm still new to linux). May it be because it is a Gnome program and i'm using LXDE enviroment? But it has Gnome player by default?!?! [18:00] unity is when a company thinks they could out-develop ppl making DE for decades withing 1-2 years, as such it's a crippled beast and any sane linux user should avoid using it (as most do that anyway) [18:01] Thanks anyway [18:01] racho: I think it's the opposite [18:01] racho: thank you for your opinion, you're welcome to continue the discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic [18:01] the userbase needs to stop whining.

I cannot use anything 3D and my menu is not displayed correctly. [18:06] then try to launch [18:06] nelson8874: banshee should work because lxde is gtk based, what happens when you run it from terminal? [18:06] apt sould be taking care of depens [18:06] I have a Ubuntu linux (just upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10) and again my wifi, graphics and sound are not working.

Instead of connecting to my WiFi network as soon as I login, which is called "Unicorns, whee! <3" it decides to try and connect to some random network called SKYsomethingORother, asks for the password (which I dont have) and to connect to internet i have to cancel that, wait like a minute and NM then decides to connect to Unicorns, whee! <3 [18:10] auronandace:It opens the banshee.

I want to install new themes.please help [18:12] nelson8874: different codecs i think, i think banshee uses gstreamer [18:13] g0bl1n: run it from the terminal adding (space &) at the end (run in background) [18:13] Chraz_Ritt, some older amd64s were limited to 4gb by their chipset [18:13] Ryccardo, nice ty [18:13] nelson8874: you'll want to install gstreamer plugins bad [18:13] 4files.eu [18:14] g0bl1n: also add "nohup " before the command to have it run even with the terminal closed [18:14] 4files.eu [18:14] 4files.eu [18:14] yacoov: [18:14] we got it.

[18:15] Newbeeans: in software centre [18:15] chowder: look at sudoers file [18:15] 1st place to start [18:15] Newbeeans: if you require them, yes enable them [18:15] Updatemanager [18:15] arunkumar413: unpack the themes to ~/.themes and you can switch them with gnome-tweak-tool (you will need to install the user-themes extension if you want to switch shell themes too) [18:15] Newbeeans: depending on what you want to install. You'll certainly get a wider choice with them enabled [18:15] bobweaver: what does that have to do with sudoers? It has to do with the keyring manager [18:15] If i kill X, that`s running on tty7, and start it again, tty7 hangs after the "battery check [OK]".

Runs the first time only. $ nohup tilda & [18:18] Chraz_Ritt / if the hw can support 8gb, so can the ubuntu64 [18:19] fattire: i install that from software center [18:19] hi there, are there special "mechanisms" to prevent unauthorized priviliged commands in linux/ubuntu? im trying to do an "ifconfig wlan0 up" in a c program using ioctl. on the shell, i can use "sudo ifconfig w0 up" no problem but when running my program, i get an error (1) from ioctl and no effect. neither running it with sudo or +s helped, any hints?

[19:24] becom33: ok then i suggest you read /var/log/Xorg.0.log you may need a [19:24] moo-, keep in mind that it's a fallback session, not intended for daily usage. gnome2 is the past, if you don't ilke gnome3, you should probably look for another desktop environment [19:25] ActionParsnip: is there any instuctions how to install my graphic driver in /var/log/Xorg.0.log [19:25] auronandace: I want to gdm to load my window manager ratpoison and not xfce [19:25] acastano59: you may want to change your password (also try to identify outside of channels to avoid this in future) [19:25] becom33: need an xorg.conf file if udev isn't picking it up [19:25] glebihan, well fallback session is the only sane thing. unity sucks, gnome-panel sucks, and everything else sucks too [19:25] jellow: what version of ubuntu are you using? [19:25] auronandace: 10.10 i think [19:26] jellow: can you give me the output of: uname -a [19:26] ActionParsnip: how to get xorg.conf file ? I know IM been kinda n00b but new to Ubuntu and Im tired of Windows , please help me out [19:26] is there an equivalent of rpm -Va in ubuntu? [19:26] becom33: it says what is happening when the x server loads. Your display may not be reporting edid correctly. Or maybe something else [19:27] hello all i've got a question [19:27] hi there [19:27] hmm, debsums [19:27] moo-, there are plenty of very good desktop environment, and they don't suck, you don't like them... But have you tried KDE, xfce, lmde, openbox... ? [19:27] maybe someone know if there is some bluetooth 3.0 dongle that works with ubuntu ? [19:27] ActionParsnip: so how can I get it installed ? === acastano59 is now known as tototo [19:28] Technicus: tried lxde, xfce, fluxbox, openbox and any of the other replacments. There are more than 2 desktop choices... [19:28] would u be able to help me if I paste /var/log/Xorg.0.log ActionParsnip ? [19:28] when i switch form akku to akkuloader the pc gets into stand-by. where can i chance that? [19:28] jellow: can you keep it in the channel please, that means you are running 11.10 [19:28] becom33: I'm on my phone so not presently. Is the system a laptop? [19:29] ActionParsnip: no its a desktop [19:29] jellow: gdm isn't on 11.10, you want to be editing lightdm instead [19:29] becom33: does it have a make and model? [19:29] any rus speaking here? [19:30] ActionParsnip: This is stupid . . . I don't want to learn something new AGAIN! I need to be productive. [19:30] auronandace: I removed lightdm as i though gdm would be simpler:P [19:30] auronandace: it can be though ;-) [19:30] !ru | crzy [19:30] crzy: Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. [19:30] no ActionParsnip its a assebled computer . [19:30] jellow: oh, so you installed gdm instead? [19:30] auronandace: yes [19:30] but I had ubuntu older version installed once without a problem [19:30] Technicus: xfce and gnome fallback all look and feel like gnome2 [19:30] ActionParsnip: sorry, i meant by default :) [19:31] ActionParsnip: . . . but, I'll try those others, I am currently installing LXDE. [19:31] auronandace: just busting your chops ;-) [19:31] auronandace: I ran gdm configure gdm comes up with option but not ratposion only xfce though startx works [19:31] jellow: ok, is there an option when you log in to choose your session? [19:31] Technicus: lxde is my personal favourite :-) [19:32] auronandace: yes but ratpoison is not picked up [19:32] ActionParsnip: I hope it works for me. To hell with Gnome. [19:32] jellow: it may need to be added manually then, i'm not sure how to do that myself === michael_mbp__ is now known as michael_mbp [19:33] Technicus: i said that ages ago. Makes support harder for me though as loads use unity etc. [19:33] jellow: there must be some config file you edit to add it to the sessions list, hopefully somebody here knows [19:33] can somebody tell me how i open a folder like root without installing nautilus [19:33] please [19:33] auronandace: Do you think it's possible to just add startx to the bottom of .bashrc , so I login and it auto starts X ? [19:34] jellow: ratpoison doesn't include an xsession file anymore, if you have gdm installed you can copy the xterm.desktop file in /usr/share/xsessions and replace the exec line with ratpoison [19:34] badapple: what file manager do you use? [19:34] ActionParsnip: Unity is so pathetic . . . the reason I operate Linux systems is because I don't want to be spoon fed like an infant any more. [19:34] ActionParsnip, how can i check ? [19:34] ActionParsnip: If its possible try to go trought this http://pastebin.com/BTKwkswv [19:34] ActionParsnip, i am neew in linux.. [19:34] yay, trism to the rescue! [19:34] Can you use the ubuntu startup disk creator to make a live bootable version of centos 6? [19:35] ActionParsnip: Unity is going to make people ignorant. [19:35] jellow: if you add startx as a user using su in /etc/rc.local it will be ok [19:35] ActionParsnip, i am using xubuntu not ubuntu , but if you can help i ll be very greatfull =) [19:35] Technicus: you don't have to use unity if you don't want to, i use xfce [19:36] auronandace: Do Xfce and Compiz cooperate with eachother? [19:36] badapple: then thunar is your default file manager [19:36] auronandace, yes =) [19:36] b0ot, I don't think so, but you should be able to do that with unetbootin [19:37] auronandace, so what is the command ? =) [19:37] Technicus: it works, but rather buggy in my experience [19:37] glebihan, unetbootin doesn't have version 6 as an option [19:37] b0ot, just download the iso and use it directly in unetbootin [19:37] badapple: command for what? [19:37] ActionParsnip: Does that run before or after I login ? [19:37] badapple: i believe its thunar so: gksudo thunar [19:37] ActionParsnip, thanks =) [19:38] badapple: be careful though when using a file manager as root [19:38] unatbootin not making ubuntu flash drives in crunchbang? [19:38] witam [19:38] heh [19:38] ubuntu flash drives not working right [19:39] haylo-bot_: you need to ask crunchbang for support then [19:39] nie wiedziałem, że jeszcze można kogoś tu spotkać [19:39] ok thanks [19:39] zapytanie [19:39] jak się intaluje flasha do ubuntu [19:39] dzięĸi === camilleqco_ is now known as camilleqco [19:39] auronandace, i know.. =) i reinstalled linux about 20 times :D .. [19:40] badapple: good stuff, enjoy :) [19:40] ok, so what's the diff between gnome and gnome classic? [19:40] Where is the Ubuntu Unity Dash icon found on the hard drive? [19:42] Jilly: depends which version of ubuntu you are using [19:42] 11.10 [19:42] Jilly: then classic is fallback mode that is meant to give you a more gnome2 feel (though many have expressed disappointment with it) [19:43] * Jilly ah..okie...I'll just log into a gnome session then. [19:44] becom33: for the intel onboard .. i think the vesa driver should be loadded and used out of the box , perhaps there is another driver conflicting the load .. you can cehck your Xorg.0.log ,also make sure you have the " xserver-xorg-video-intel "package installed . [19:44] * jellow is thankfull for your help [19:45] * Ratanparai is going to sleep mode [19:45] Oh . I see. [19:46] LXDE is sweet! [19:46] Yeah, I tend to prefer the windows style menus for opening applications...but will give this a try. [19:47] Jilly: i don't like gnome 2 or 3 so i use xfce (use whatever you feel comfortable with) :) [19:47] auronandace, I guess I should try that too. [19:47] I need to get trickle working to limit the bandwith available to a web browser [19:48] or my entire computer [19:48] Jilly: also as Technicus said, lxde is good too [19:48] can anyone help with that? running trickled -d10 -u10 doesn't limit it [19:48] auronandace, is xfce really light weight though. I have to admit, I really like the eye candy. [19:49] I have a problem with LXDE having Compiz enabled, the panels dissapear. [19:49] I am looking for a solution. === Fuchs is now known as evilfuchs [19:49] * Jilly is looking for some screen shots. :) [19:49] Jilly: lxde is more lightweight than xfce, but i find xfce more pleasing to the eye than lxde (and both of them better than gnome (but that is a matter of taste)) [19:50] auro, I really liked the widgets you could add to the task bars. [19:50] or maybe a better question is, anyone know how to do bandwidth shaping to a web browser? [19:51] Jilly: there are plenty of plugins for xfce panel (try installing xfce-goodies) [19:52] auronandace, cool..thanks for the tips. I'll give it a try. [19:52] xfce has the an amesome right click feature that i use in crunchbang all the time [19:53] one right click brings up a beautiful display of every option available on the system [19:53] but in ubunut it does not seem that lightweight- i dont know why [19:54] can anybody help me with installing Java Virtual Machine? [19:54] which command i need to pass [19:54] how do i find my disk size in bytes? [19:54] cant get gnome terminal bell to play sound. pcspkr is loaded and not blacklisted. bell is enabled in gnome-terminal preferences. [19:54] ok.... does anyone know where lightdm looks to figure out what sessions should be available [19:54] sudo apt-get install sun-java6 fails! [19:54] I swear I'm about to file a bug about it [19:55] !partner | alexGlasgow [19:55] alexGlasgow: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » [19:55] alexGlasgow: is is removed from repos do to no more license [19:55] GinoMan: should be /etc/lightdm/users.conf but i have a uid <1000 and editing that file doesn't make it show up, so i'm still missing something [19:55] /etc/lightdm/ has a bunch of stuff but none of it has anything to do with available sessions [19:56] How to enable desktop effects on gnome 3 ? [19:56] Tomay, there is a PPA for that [19:56] Any one seen this vid yet? http://vimeo.com/31090103 [19:57] hi [19:57] Fisiu, just ask your question [19:57] How much ram does ubuntu 32 bit support? [19:57] Companion, What is PPA ? [19:58] ubottu, ok, after this i just type: sudo apt-get install sun-java6 ? [19:58] alexGlasgow: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:58] * auronandace thinks that suggesting ppas should be banned or come with an explicit warning that they are not supported [19:58] !ppa | Tomay [19:58] Tomay: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

[20:00] ubottu, understand, thanks [20:00] alexGlasgow: I have java 7 on my system [20:01] I'm trying to find the instructions I used [20:01] GinoMan, ok, i just wanna run applets in my browser [20:01] hi, I'm upgrading my gnome to gnome 3 but it's asking me for my display manager, lightdm or gdm [20:01] which one should I choose? [20:02] AdhamSabry, lightdm is the new login from Ubuntu 11.10, and gdm is the older one used before 11.10 [20:02] and I want at my login, it asks me for gnome 3, or don't remember the second selection, or 2D [20:02] ubottu is a F***** bot [20:02] Tomay: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:02] hi guys, I have a problem in that ubuntu crashed running apt-get remove ubuntuone and now my system keeps hanging... tried clean autoremove and recovery check broken packages but I cannot seem to get rid of these broken packages, does anyone have any suggestions please? [20:02] So I choose lightdm so I get to choose which one I want to login using, right? viaNocturna85? [20:03] AdhamSabry, both will ask, with Lightdm click on the gear by your name to choose Ubuntu3D or 2D or gnome etc [20:03] hello, is there anyway of installing an older firefox version (like 3.5) on oneric ? [20:04] thank you ViaNocturna85 [20:04] AdhamSabry, you're welcome [20:04] one last question, I used gnome3 and used it's login view, but I don't remember if I seen the choice to ever choose from between? [20:04] well, can I change the display manager later? [20:05] rus [20:06] AdhamSabry, if later you want to change, you open a terminal and type in 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm' and it will ask that question again [20:06] k [20:06] s [20:06] a [20:06] THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU :-) :-) [20:06] AdhamSabry, you're more than welcome [20:06] ubuntu russian [20:06] I don't know if there are any Ubuntu developers here, but why do we need a 190 page thread like this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=786095 [20:07] why is there not a single button that says "give me a better ffmpeg" that the user can push [20:07] all that compilation stuff is extremely user-unfriendly [20:07] norbert_, the first page is the important one, the instructions, the other pages are from issues people are having doing that [20:08] how can i update to the latest version of firefox in 10.10? [20:08] ViaNocturna85: sure, but my point is that Windows or Apple users don't need to do all that [20:09] I need a fix for CD downloads "No Such File or Directory" [20:09] whats the xfce package name? there's a xfe...but I don't see a xfce. [20:09] I KNOW the pc has a downloads folder [20:09] Jilly: xfce4 [20:10] so I want the Metapackage for the Xfce lightweight desktop environment?

[20:12] Now in downloads [20:12] how can i update to the latest version of firefox in 10.10? [20:13] hi everyone [20:13] ViaNocturna85: i dont use parole [20:13] badapple, either way, go to the Software Center and install 'restricted-extras' and then try it out [20:13] Is there any tool out there to revert the action of fdupes and similar applications? [20:13] !gnome [20:13] GNOME is the default !desktop environment on Ubuntu up to 10.10 To install it from Kubuntu or Xubuntu, type « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » in a !terminal. [20:13] Hi. I know this is stupid, but I just can't figure out how to turn on the visualisations in rhythmbox in ocelot. Help please? [20:13] I mean, given two hardlinks, turn them into independent copies [20:13] Unode|Work: cp [20:14] kaluva, something a little bit more friendly [20:14] kaluva, the files are scattered across multiple folders [20:14] *the hardlinks I mean [20:14] Unode|Work: Oh, you need to find them first? [20:14] alexGlasgow: I can't find it.... I'll keep an eye out for it and let you know if I find it [20:15] Ok if I am not root I can access download directory but get permission denied...seems like a catch 22 [20:15] anyone know what happened to libgimp-perl in ubuntu? I cant seem to find it, it looks like the last one was in natty narwhal [20:15] Hi! Does anybody know if I can run Ubuntu installer from installed system (for example, pendrive)? [20:15] hi, after installing gnome3, I have problems with my themes [20:15] kaluva, well in practice what I want to do is the equivalent of "cp file1 file1.nothardlink ; rm file ; mv file1.nothardlink file1" [20:15] so I googled and got that page http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-common-gnome-3-issues-on-ubuntu-11-04-natty.html [20:15] ViaNocturna85: i remember it was something like mplayer codecs but i am not sure [20:16] is there way to install gtk1 and glib1 on ubuntu 11.04?

[20:16] but the problem is, I'm afraid gksudo apt-get remove gnome-accessibility-themes make me lose the themes of ubuntu if I wanted to pick ubuntu3D from the login view [20:16] GinoMan, ok i will try to install sun-java6-jdk or openjdk-6-jdk [20:16] kaluva, and there can be more than one hardlink to the same file [20:16] ViaNocturna85: now i do it [20:17] and when I used it, the terminal paused after I typed "y" to remove, what's wrong? [20:17] ViaNocturna85: it is big ^^ [20:17] hi, after installing gnome3, I have problems with my themes, so I googled and got that page http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-common-gnome-3-issues-on-ubuntu-11-04-natty.html, but the problem is, I'm afraid gksudo apt-get remove gnome-accessibility-themes make me lose the themes of ubuntu if I wanted to pick ubuntu3D from the login view and when I used it, the terminal paused after I typed "y" to remove, what's wrong?

[20:28] semitones: what are you *really* trying to do? [20:28] BGabriel, is this the 'official' yahoo from years ago? [20:28] klync: home/me/ is on sda5 [20:28] hey you guys this command wont work for me because the right half where i write to file wants me to do it with sudo...how the hell do i do that? sudo ls -laR / > /home/ibmx37/tester [20:29] semitones: and you have enough space there? [20:29] ALL my sound is gone, even after a reboot [20:29] klync: i'm working with #rockbox to unbrick my sansa, i'm just unfamiliar with dd [20:29] klync: yes, sda5 has oodles of free space, sdb1 is 30 mb [20:29] Gskellig, define misteriously [20:29] hexacode: | sudo tee some file [20:30] Unode|Work, last night i had sound [20:30] booted my PC this morning [20:30] now I don't [20:30] Gskellig, any updates? [20:30] all the volume functions seem to be working right [20:30] semitones: oic ... yeah, that's no problem; i'd also do bs=2048 fwiw [20:30] I don't think so [20:30] Gskellig, open a terminal and run alsamixer [20:30] how can I check that [20:30] klync: what does specifying that do? [20:30] semitones: best advice i can give is to triple check if= and of= before hitting enter! [20:31] klync: did you get that last message? what does the block size command do? [20:31] semitones: bs= "blocksize" ... i.e. how many bytes to read before writing ... [20:31] Gskellig, on alsamixer check if the Master column has two OO or two MM [20:31] yep, tried both of those suggestions. no joy. it has something to do with the way the cert is bound to the ports. [20:31] klync: and why is it good to specify? [20:31] ViaNocturna85: do you know why when i click the botton for muting audio and when i press it again the audio did not starts ? .. it sirve only for muting =( [20:31] OO [20:31] Gskellig, do you see any MM on other bars? [20:31] sirves * [20:31] nope, just OO or nothing [20:31] semitones: variety of reasons; probably not necessary; might speed things up a bit [20:31] Gskellig, how are the volume levels?

I don't get it [20:37] homeyd5: i cant see what you write because you dont highlight my nick [20:37] Gskellig, I've had similar issues with how sound volume is handled [20:37] something wasn't pointed to the right spot. Now HDMI is showing up in alsamixer, it wasn't before [20:37] Gskellig, sometimes a kernel change is enough to mess up the volume controls [20:37] thanks Unode|Work [20:37] Gskellig: You might have used the wrong mixer, there may be more than one [20:37] Gskellig, alsamixer is the best tool to test out these sort of volume issues [20:38] anyone successfully used rubygems from behind proxy on ubuntu 10.10 ,I have done proxy settings on /etc/bash.bashrc and aptitude is working fine can dowload packages [20:38] klync: If I wanted to see if the two dd'd files were the same, would I take the md5sum?

I found a guide but things aren't working the way I expected. [21:05] ping -b 192.168.1.0 [21:05] MeQuerSat, you might want to ask in the #ubuntuone channel [21:06] okay I'll ask my question one more time [21:06] I just switched to Ubuntu and i noticed since switching that within my form fields there are hashes [21:06] So on a website where the formfield might remember the username I previously entered and suggest it to me [21:06] so in this format tell me your problem , problem hardware and software ,os being used exsample mine is ubuntu 32. bit amd 32bit dual core 2 gb drr2 and "Problem " and software used [21:06] It instead suggests a bunch of hashes in addition to my username [21:07] am I stupid, or can I not report a bug on the launchpad site? It keeps saying I must do it through the OS... yet I don't have the laptop in front of me... === Guybrush_Threepw is now known as Guybrush_88 [21:07] hey you guys i want to totally reset my ubuntu 11.10, but i want to keep important files and programs [21:07] so when I type in "o" in a form field it suggests a very long hash or what looks like a hash [21:07] Does anyone have any idea whats going on? [21:07] can i run a custom backup on a harddrive and then totally redeownload it? [21:07] I can post one of the strings that look like a hash [21:07] blsh0p, back up the files you want to keep [21:07] how do i back up programs and program files? [21:07] huh? [21:08] htmlinprogress, am I not making any sense? [21:08] no [21:08] blsh0p, depends, do you mean programs downloaded through Software Center (apt-get)? [21:08] blsh0p, no you'd reinstall the programs [21:08] Roasted, it would probably be easier for everyone involved if you wait until you are at the computer then use ubuntu-bug to report it. [21:08] can i keep the program settings and program files? [21:08] htmlinprogress, You know when you go to a website and when you type your username in the username form field it remembers what username you used last time and suggest it to you? [21:08] zykotick9, if thats the case, if I'm trying to report a wireless bug, what would I use in the entry? I never understood that process. I always found it easier to just post, like a forum [21:09] blsh0p, if you mean copy the whole disk, use dd [21:09] blsh0p: yes you can backup your home directory [21:09] dd? [21:09] blsh0p : try computer janitor [21:09] Hi. I tried to copy a folder containing a file with a |. There was an error, so I removed the | from the file name. However I still can't copy the file. When I search for the file it is still listed with the |. Do I need to update a index or something? [21:09] blsh0p, not really but you can create a file with the programs installed listed in it, then back that up, and running a command with that will download and install the list again [21:09] Roasted, sorry I'm not sure - it's "ubuntu-bug PACKAGENAME" but I'm not sure where a wireless bug would go, sorry. [21:09] blsh0p: man dd. it copies byte by byte [21:10] zykotick9, is there even a way to just POST on launchpad? I find it a little odd that I have to fight to post a bug and help out... [21:10] sonee what is dd? [21:10] ThatGuy123, yes think its about auto complete , so what about it ? [21:10] blsh0p: run "man dd". basically it copies every byte on the hark disk or partition [21:10] guys how can i ping a range of IPs to check live systems? for eg from 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.1.255 [21:11] Roasted, i think it is possible, but bugs require a lot of info, that ubuntu-bug will automatically take care of. Using the website will just require the maintainer to ask you to manually use ubuntu-bug after you finish reporting - to get the required information [21:11] sonee where will it then be located? [21:11] yes htmlinprogress. So when the autocomplete suggests my username it also suggests a hash. [21:11] blsh0p, what is located ? [21:11] So on my yahoo account my email has a n in it [21:11] where will it copy to? [21:11] The autocomplete suggests my name and then it suggets a couple of hashes like this: [21:11] "NTUwZTg2NTg1YTk2ODVkZTA" [21:11] blsh0p: you can specify the file where it copies to [21:11] even though I never entered that [21:11] into the form field [21:11] ok [21:12] blsh0p: just like "save as" [21:12] cool thanks guys [21:12] zykotick9, the "bug" I'm reporting I'm not even sure if it would qualify as a bug. Basically I had to run modprobe on startup to get my broadcom card to work. The fix? add "b43" to /etc/modules. I think it would be easier to report this so someone can add it to the actual distro so someone doesnt have to fight for 2 days over it like I did. [21:12] where are these strings of numbers coming from in my autocomplete? [21:12] Is there a way to reset Ubuntu One? [21:12] thanks, a ton, im going to start it. [21:12] see ya guys [21:12] I delete my cookies and they come back after a while [21:13] If I type "m" into the username field the autocomplete suggests "MDkxNTBjYjA2MzYzMTkwMTh" [21:13] as if i typed that hash into the field before [21:13] I am not sure if it is a hash though, but it looks like one [21:13] ThatGuy123: hey! that's my password!

I have an external backup drive which has all of my backups from a previous UBUNTU version but now it says its empty because 11.10 can't see it [21:30] Can anyone help me with this [21:30] all of my data was there [21:30] s0nee: I drag+drop'ed a link from firefox some time ago. Now I'm copying all files to an external drive before an upgrade. This specific file (link) couldn't be copied because it read the | as a pipe instead of a part of the file name.

[21:30] sbackup wont even see it [21:31] oh I can see the drive but I can't see what is in it [21:31] spartan2276, what happens when you try to mount the drive? [21:31] I had the drive configured so that it mounted automatically in 10.04 [21:31] mdsilva: How do I install the command then? [21:31] it mounts just fine [21:32] t4s: wrapping the name in "" like cp "na|me" does not work ? are you copying using nautilus or the command line ? [21:32] spartan2276, if it mounts just fine, then it should be see by ubuntu [21:32] And I know that I did not erase anything on there because I disconected and power off the drive before installing the new version [21:32] What video drivers does Ubuntu include? I have a cap. card that worked on ubuntu that doesn't on debian, and I need to install the correct drivers [21:33] oh no I lost everything, how could this happen [21:34] s0nee: I'm copying using nautilus. when I try with command line it says: cp: cannot create regular file `/media/5476-F1AA/Backup/Ubuntu/Friday Fun - Useful Linux Terminal Commands for New Users. | Ubuntu Linux Help.desktop': Invalid argument. [21:34] t4s, try to find a script somewhere on your system called "locate.updatedb" if it's there, run it [21:35] damn this sucks, how in the world could this happen [21:36] t4s, wrap "" like /media/54..../Ubuntu/"Friday ... .desktop" [21:36] spartan2276, maybe 11.10 removed the files?

[21:37] mdsilva no because I disconnected the drive from the PC [21:37] Where's the notification area in 11.10? When I close pidgin I can't see it's icon anywhere on the top bar? [21:37] hi there anyone having any trouble with lubuntu and older dell's I installed lubuntu 10.10 and after install got busy box. I then tried to install lubuntu 11.10 and now the VGA is blown out (I think ) anyone seen or had any troubles like this ? [21:37] Menthane: try the right bottom [21:37] s0nee I'm using unity2d btw [21:37] also that didn't work [21:38] Menthane, sorry i thought gnome shell. unity no clue ...

[21:38] guys how can i ping a range of IPs to check live systems? for eg from 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.1.255 [21:38] I tryed to install other vga that I have laying around and still nothing no bios nothing [21:38] Menthane: you might be able to get to it under the envelope in the systray area. [21:38] spartan2276, did you "umount" the external drive or shutdown the system before you powered it off and disconnected it? === Fever is now known as blauskaerm [21:38] varkala, first open a terminal and type 'sudo apt-get install fping' [21:38] Ow yeah I see it now. Lol why does everything have to hide away in 11.10? [21:38] Menthane: So it's 'cleaner' [21:39] the drive was setup on fstab so that it mounts on its own and unmounts when power off [21:39] because automatic backups where made on a daily basis [21:39] varkala, then type 'fsping -s -g 192.168.1.0 192.168.1.255 -r 1' [21:39] I have 7 more of these computers that i need to put os's on [21:39] md5sum is all good [21:39] but now none of those .targz files are not there [21:40] spartan2276, if you powered it off, then ubuntu wouldn't be able to transfer the cached/buffered files in memory to the external drive. those files don't get saved unless you at least umount the drive before it loses power [21:40] varkala, fping i mean, not fsping [21:40] s0nee: That did the trick... Thanks for your help [21:41] t4s, no problem. youre welcome [21:41] mdsilva: Thanks for your help. I managed to copy the filed by wrapping it in "" (suggested by s0nee). [21:42] the quotes were the first thing I suggested before s0nee even responded, and you said that wasn't it [21:42] can someone validate that if you scp a tar.gz file to another server with the same name it should overwrite the old one correct??? [21:43] yes [21:43] foolove, yes [21:43] i just tested this theory with a text file and it seems to be the file will overwrite [21:43] good [21:43] someone earlier had swayed me from my original thinking [21:43] lol wasted some time on it no biggie [21:43] hanks VianNocturna85 it works [21:43] thanks VianNocturna85 it works [21:43] varkala, you're welcome [21:44] hello all [21:44] douglas-web-deve, hello [21:44] anyone know why "aptitude update" returns a non-successful status (255)? === douglas-web-deve is now known as douglas-web-dev [21:45] ViaNocturna85, :) [21:45] VianNocturna85 : u know how to scan for open ports in a range of IPs? [21:45] helo: Does apt-get update work? [21:45] i've been missing updates because my normal process is sudo bash -c "aptitude update && aptitude safe-upgrade -y" [21:45] Considering usability and acessibility, what's the advantage of not having a standard taskbar on Ubuntu? [21:46] varkala, im not entirely sure but I think nmap would be the best tool for that [21:46] My xserver is freezing my screen quite often with : [mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop. [21:46] soreau: ahh, "E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead." [21:47] soreau: so i guess the issue is that "aptitude update" isn't giving an error at all [21:47] helo: Does the internet work on that box? [21:47] . [21:47] how can I raise the verbosity of the xserver to get more useful information [21:47] soreau: yes [21:48] helo: Check your sources.list then [21:48] soreau: i can see it update from a lot of IPs... looks like removing the deb-src entry for virtualbox's package server causes it to return 0 [21:48] helo, do you have any PPA's that aren't working? thats usually what happens to me [21:48] so i messed up bad i did "rm -rf /var/log" is there a way to recover from this? === Mud is now known as Guest35918 [21:49] when i added the virtualbox.org's entry, it automatically added a deb-src, which was failing silently in aptitude [21:49] i lost connection the the VM so i asked for a reboot, what are the chance it will reboot? [21:49] aptitude needs to show an error message... [21:49] since I haven't seen any responses to my question I'll ask again with somemore detail. I've setup a quicklist launcher for some games I like, and I was thinking it would be cool if left clicking on the launcher would open dash. Is it possible? [21:49] After upgrading my server to oneiric, my network interfaces aren't starting up anymore. This is in /var/log/syslog: [21:49] Oct 27 00:25:24 zed kernel: [ 13.033305] init: network-interface (lo) pre-start process (546) terminated with status 1 [21:49] digitalfiz, golden rule is to refrain from using rm -rf...thats removed ya logs i take it? [21:49] Any ideas? [21:49] digitalfiz: probably not worth it ... just let the new logs start up [21:49] hah, after removing that apt-get update returns 0, but still says "E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. [21:50] klync, ViaNocturna85 i don't want to recover the logs just the install hehe [21:50] Also the same line for eth0 [21:50] intgr: could it be related to dbus not starting properly? I had something like that because /var/run didn't get moved to /run during the upgrade. [21:50] my golden rule is to do ls -la {stuff} before doing rm -rf {stuff} [21:50] digitalfiz, install of what? [21:50] digitalfiz: is this your desktop computer? [21:50] hi [21:50] because rm -rf is handy [21:51] mdhafen: Oh, does it have to be present in /etc/fstab? [21:51] klync no it was a development server on a esxi vm [21:51] helo, yeah i use it all the time...in my home directory ;-) [21:51] anyone has issues with the printscreen only showing the background ? [21:51] Oct 27 00:42:19 zed kernel: [ 13.628148] init: dbus main process (654) terminated with status 1 [21:51] mdhafen: Sounds like same here [21:51] digitalfiz: oh - got a snapshot to revert to, then? [21:51] intgr: /run isn't in /etc/fstab, but there is supposed to be a sym-link to it at /var/run, which is where I ran into problems with dbus [21:52] mdhafen: Oh, /var/run is a directory. Should I rename it and symlink it to /run? [21:52] Should I move /var/run to /run? [21:53] intgr: yeah, something like that. I'd recommend `mv -i /var/run/* /run/` first to make sure nothing gets lost. and probably a reboot after makeing the sym-link. [21:53] mdsilva, can't be because those files where backup yesterday and then I did another one today so it should read it, I think what is happening is that since it was setup through fstab the drive is not being pickup as it should or at least is not showing the files [21:53] mdhafen: Ok, thanks [21:54] intgr: the -i option of mv is so you can not over-write anything that's already in /run, just in case :) [21:54] Right [21:54] klync we do nightly backups was hoping to not have to do that [21:54] how can i mount all my drives(partitions) while booting/startup ? [21:54] can someone point me to the best place to create my own http:// based ubuntu network installation? i am behind a firewall, and XenServer requires it [21:55] Varazir, add to fstab [21:55] quick question: what is the command for deleteing a directory in the terminal? [21:55] rm -rf [21:55] jmark: rm -r [21:55] jmark: without -f [21:55] doesnt matter either way [21:55] will that delete all contained files also? [21:55] jmark: yes [21:55] -rf [21:55] Carri0n: no [21:55] yes [21:56] wait is it yes or no? [21:56] carrion : add what? [21:56] Carri0n: -f is not needed and should not be used as default so dont suggest that here [21:56] rm -rf [21:56] works just fine [21:56] Carri0n, apart from the fact that -rf will not prompt for anything and if it's prompting for whether or not you want to delete it then you should probably be rethinking whether to delete it or not [21:56] klync it booted back up but mysql didn't start so ill try and figure out wht [21:56] mdhafen / is not official location to have a running process info directory [21:56] mdhafen, better to do ln -s /var/run /run [21:56] digitalfiz: digitalfiz well, if you don't want to just let the log files regenerate themselves (or send email to root@localhost if the dir was missing), you could restore the backup to a temp location and copy /var/log from there. But getting your data back would require forensic-level work - i.e. finding the blocks on disk that were unlinked before they get overwritten. which is why i say prob not worth the effort [21:56] Hi there, 11.10 support SSD TRIM? [21:56] jmark, just use rm -r, ignore Carri0n's suggestion. [21:56] mdhafen: Awesome! Thanks a lot, that fixed it [21:56] digitalfiz: yeah, probably missing /var/log/mysql [21:56] Seem to find some conflicting info [21:56] rm -rf works fine. [21:56] Carri0n: i said stop it [21:57] rm -rf works fine. [21:57] klync thats what i thought but its there [21:57] digitalfiz: a bit of a pain to manually recreate, but probably your best bet if you can't recover it from backup [21:57] lapion: my upgrade of 11.10 has it the other way around though. [21:57] Carri0n, unless you actually know what the -f is for, don't suggest [21:57] rm -rf works fine. [21:57] klync oh wait its a pipe not a folder [21:57] Carri0n: enough [21:57] hmm [21:57] rm -rf works fine.

My /boot is a RAID1 array where each volume is bootable. My understanding is I have to do something with grub to make it bootable, but I can't figure out what [22:17] pnorman: if the drive is hardware RAID1 i'd think installing grub on one drive would take care of it on the rest of the RAID1 set [22:17] mdhafen: unless the drive that has grub on it dies and i need to boot off of another [22:17] any change to dhclient on ubuntu 11.10 ? [22:18] whats the difference , in synaptic, about removal and complete removal? [22:18] pnorman: yeah, I though hardware raid1 would just clone grub from the one drive to the other automatically. Seems I'm wrong. === evilfuchs is now known as Fuchs [22:18] vafied, service --status-all will tell you what services service runs [22:18] mamece2, complete removal = purge, so it remove any config files (not the ones in home directory however) [22:19] my friend is having a THOSHIBA laptop and he say that he cant run ubuntu on it due to some problem with acpi . does any one face similar problem? [22:19] zykotick9: so i can complete remove an old kernel, right? [22:19] w30: but dhclient is a script not a service as far as i know [22:19] varkala: i've heard of that. there should be a kernel boot option, like noacpi, to take care of that. [22:19] mamece2, sure, i don't think it'll make much difference for linux-image*, but maybe. [22:20] How do I uninstall gnome? [22:20] (Not the packages it has with it [22:20] ) [22:20] mdhafen: google seems to indicate that grub-install /dev/sdX works - does that sound right? [22:20] vafied, could be what does service --status-all tell you about dhclient? [22:21] pnorman: yeah, that's what I was expecting. From there the hardware RAID1 mirrors the grub stuff to the other drive in the set. [22:21] vafied, anything? [22:21] wolfmitchell: what specfically about gnome? cause you could just install another DE/WM and use that if hdd space is not a issue [22:21] Aeon-I want to uninstall the enviroment itself [22:21] w30: it is not listed [22:21] pnorman: also, if you are in recovery mode, that will reinstall grub on the drive for you. [22:21] wolfmitchell: so the UI? [22:21] Yes [22:22] mdhafen :' kernel boot option ' what u mean? [22:22] wolfmitchell: then you need to remove metacity that handles window management for gnome DE [22:22] varkala: I'm not sure I can explain properly. The kernel line in grub can have options for booting the kernel, like noacpi. [22:22] wolfmitchell: but i'd install another DE or WM first [22:23] Aeon-I have XFCE already [22:23] mdhafen: incidentially, /boot is a 4 volume RAID1 array [22:23] wolfmitchell: ok if you are in xfce right now you'll only need to remove metacity and gnome-panel they are what handles gnome's graphical interface (along with compiz if you used that) [22:23] pnorman: wow, not that's serious fault tolerance. [22:24] vafied, obviously you can't use service on it then [22:24] w30: doesn't ifupdown handle dhclient? [22:24] mdhafen: it's a 4 disk RAID10 array for everything else, but for boot you need raid1 and it's a lot easier to have all the volumes the same [22:25] w30: but i dont want to use a service on it, i want to use it as i used to do sudo dhclient and it cleans the routing table and grant a new ip from dhcp [22:26] pnorman: is this software raid? I'm didn't think hardware raid could carve up drives into seperate partitions like that. [22:26] software [22:26] I can't afford real hardware raid [22:26] which is having more memory consumption KDE or GNOME? [22:26] Where could I go for Quickly advice. [22:26] pnorman: I should have figured it was software RAID. Then yes, you will need to re-install grub on the replaced drive to get it to work. [22:26] varkala, kde (at least in Lucid days it was, now not so sure) [22:27] Ya, just did it [22:27] I should test it at some point [22:27] * Ober ponders how to get the grub menu to appear. jumps straight to first kernel and bombs "press any key to continue" through the endless same error [22:28] pnorman: yeah, testing is good ;) [22:28] Ober, hold shift after BIOS (if you use grub2) [22:28] Yay. I am now, gnome-free [22:28] zykotick9: k [22:28] mdhafen: any way to test if it's installed correctly short of rebooting, disabiling the other drives from the boot order in bios and seeing if it boots up? [22:29] ls -la [22:29] porn/ wares/ [22:29] pnorman: all I can think of is either that or something like `dd if=/dev/sdX of=- count=1 | less` [22:30] pnorman: I think rebooting is really the only way to be certain [22:31] mdhafen: what am I looking for in that command? [22:31] how do I list files provided by a package in cli? [22:31] janisozaur, "dpkg -L foo" [22:31] pnorman: the dd command should drop the first block of the drive, which you might be able to look at and see if grub is there. But it would take a lot of nerd-cred to be able to tell if grub is configured correctly from that. [22:32] I guess i could compare with my other drives [22:32] please suggest me some good books or websites to start with shell scripting [22:32] anyone successfully running a SSI cluster? [22:32] pnorman: of course, that's brilliant [22:33] varkala, http://tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/ [22:33] If anyone is successfully running an ubuntu SSI cluster, what are you using to do so? [22:33] they differ. [22:33] pnorman: there might be some differences from the software raid setup. [22:34] Yes, but I'm not sure how to tell. I really need to use a hex editor to be able to even see the files [22:34] janisozaur: dpkg -L package-name [22:34] zykotick9, awesome. I've been trying to get this answer for couple years now and it was right there, under my nose :P [22:35] pnorman: yeah, that's why I would recommend the reboot route, it doesn't involve a hex editor ;) [22:35] VianNocturna85 : any way to download this as pdf [22:36] varkala: there is a cli tool called htmltopdf [22:36] and my geek cred is not high enough to tell if grub is installed, let alone configured, from the contents on the drive [22:36] Hello, everyone. I'm having a problem on my Eee PC 1000HE running an almost-fresh install of Ubuntu 11.10 where I get kernel panics that are seemingly-random (they sometimes happen during boot, sometimes while I'm just editing a file). I'm wondering exactly what kind of information I need to collect to start debugging this. [22:36] varkala, http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=beginners%20guide%20to%20bash%20pdf&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CB0QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Ftldp.org%2FLDP%2FBash-Beginners-Guide%2FBash-Beginners-Guide.pdf&ei=ZouoTvy_KoKb-gbtnom4Dw&usg=AFQjCNHpKXBHe_CK_QLtsRjldynr0cSYaw&sig2=Vnfo4oVPFEFDZQwg6T4T5w&cad=rja [22:36] pnorman: neither is mine :) [22:36] varkala, ignore that [22:37] varkala, tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/Bash-Beginners-Guide.pdf [22:37] I also need to turn on AHCI in the bios - would that be likely to cause any problems with md? [22:37] Basically, I'll be using my netbook and it will just randomly crash or dump me to a kernel panic screen. [22:38] pnorman: as long as it doesn't change the bios order of the drives or somesuch I wouldn't think it would. [22:38] mdhafen: they're done by guid, does the bios order matter? [22:38] varkala, this is the best resource for shell scripting http://onyxneon.com/books/modern_perl/, much better than bash (since Perl is readable) not to mention Perl is more flexible and powerful than bash. [22:38] avpx: use the liveusb (or sd) for a while does the same happen? if so problem is software not hardware; theres a start [22:39] varkala, the best part of the Modern Perl book is it is Free! [22:39] pnorman: not much, but it might if you want to test booting of a particular drive. [22:39] well, bios doesn't identify by guid, it identifies by drive name/sn [22:39] i'll be bach later. [22:39] pnorman: yeah, UUID, didn't think of that. It probably won't matter at all then. [22:40] three18ti : that link is not right [22:40] ya, s/guid/uuid [22:40] I figure I'll do it when I get ready to install new drives [22:40] pnorman: I'm pretty sure grub would still be able to find the drives, so it should be fine [22:41] varkala, http://onyxneon.com/books/modern_perl/ ? here is the direct link to the PDF http://onyxneon.com/books/modern_perl/modern_perl_letter.pdf [22:41] The server is in the storage room and it requires some contortions to get into [22:42] varkala, also, perl has a rather large community (see perlmonks.org, reddit.com/r/perl, etc.) [22:42] pnorman: ah. yeah, don't want to make mistakes in that case. ;) [22:43] three18ti : ok i will try it [22:45] mdhafen: What makes my next upgrade more insane is that I plan on adding HD bays to the case - only have 6 [22:46] hello, I'm trying to enable VT-x support on Vbox for hours [22:46] my processor is a Quad Core 64 Bits, my BIOS has VT-x support, it's enabled in Bios, Trusted computing is enabled in Bios, my host is a 64 bit Ubuntu (11.10 Oneiric Ocelot), I checked that the processor has the vmx flag in proc/cpuinfo, I am using the latest Virtualbox version (4.1.4 r74291) the virtual machine was created as Ubuntu 64 bits [22:46] Although I might go the easy route and buy a new case with 10+ bays [22:46] and still it shows the message that it can't detect a 64bit cpu [22:46] Is there anything else I can do about it ? [22:46] pnorman: I am a big fan of the easy route ;) [22:47] Know of a case that takes standard computer parts and has room for a truely excessive number of 3.5" drives? === nelson777 is now known as nelson777_ [22:47] nelson777_: Maybe try #vbox [22:47] pnorman: sorry, haven't looked at cases in a long time. I'd usually just grab whatever looked good on tigerdirect [22:47] how can I tell dpkg to resume an interrupted aptitude upgrade? [22:48] Hi, I'm using HP Pavillion dm1, is there any advise on how to install the graphics driver in ubuntu? [22:50] soreau: thnx already there [22:52] jaysonvd: is it an nvidia graphics card? [22:52] or an ati one> [22:52] jaysonvd: if nvidia, is it an Optimus card? (i.e. utilizes Optimus) [22:55] buhman, just run it again but run update first === james is now known as Guest97878 [22:56] Hello i have a vps with 256 mb of RAM [22:56] is there any chance, you think, to get a graphical environment of sorts running there? I'd like to run a browser [22:57] sybariten: You can use socks proxy, or elinks === V_ is now known as VZzzz [22:59] hi [22:59] how can i connect to my other ubuntu machine over vpn? i have remote desktop turned on on both machines [22:59] how can I remove the gnome keyring - I am trying to remote connect and that always pops up [23:00] gi3: elinks is not a graphical browser, but what did you mean by socks proxy? === BarkingFish_ is now known as OffToHades === OffToHades is now known as Guest71957 [23:02] does anybody know where does Klavaro store it [23:02] does anybody know where does Klavaro store it's progression statistics? === skrewler_ is now known as skrewler === Guest71957 is now known as OffToHades [23:03] ported Klavaro from one Ubuntu to another and want to take my statistics with me as well [23:05] TheEvilPhoenix: it's amd, I tried installing the ATI calyst drive from their site but it doesnt work [23:05] Man and wife had to be seperated. [23:05] oops [23:05] hi there [23:06] Hi, I recently updated my linux kernel, I am running Ubuntu 10.10 and went from 2.6.35-28-generic-pae to 2.6.35-30-generic-pae [23:06] i'm trying to save a flash-video streamed by youtube [23:06] jaysonvd: use the Hardware Drivers tool [23:06] now at boot, I get "No init found. Try passing init=bootarg. [23:06] i followed instructions telling me to search /proc/PID/fd for deleted files (found some) and then copy them to any directory, thus saving them [23:06] basically, I can't load the new kernel or the old one in recovery mode or not [23:07] TheEvilPhoenix: that's the first one i tried but it doesnt work [23:07] but the file cannot be opened for reading [23:07] I already tried fsck from a live cd, but to no avail, same problem at boot. I will probably do a fresh install. But I would like to recover the data first if possible [23:07] Hi, I want to change the file association of a C++ file. In a file called /local/share/applications I created an entry text/x-cpp=gedit.desktop but it still opens it in eclipse. Do I need to change this maybe somewhere else? [23:08] MisterX: why not just use youtube-dl from the repositories? [23:08] Back [23:09] What would be the mime type of C++? I think text/x-cpp [23:09] MisterX, BTW it's /proc/PID/fd/## for the specific file, that can be seen from "lsof | grep Flash" [23:09] anyone know if grub2 in oneiric supports GRUB? [23:09] err supports GPT [23:10] zykotick9: yes, file's not readable… [23:10] MisterX, then you're using the wrong ## i'd guess, or you've closed the browser? [23:10] jrib: i already completely downloaded the file (90min vid) and am stuck with sloooooow dsl [23:10] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1594621 [23:10] zykotick9: nope, browser's open… [23:10] I have tried this fix, to no avail on either drive [23:11] can see and hear the guy speaking ;) [23:11] who knows acer_wmi module? [23:11] MisterX, verify the "lsof | grep Flash" info then [23:12] zykotick9: no output. [23:12] MisterX, are you using adobe flash? or something else? [23:15] zykotick9: chromium, adobe plugin afaik [23:15] Hey all after I updated ubuntu to 11.10 some time back ( some of you might remember me ) I had a few issues that i fixed, but one of them is persistent.. Every time my computer is idle and the screen powers off, i cant get it back on tried installing xscreensavers, but still got this issue.. doesanyone know how i can fix this? [23:15] i HAD some info for the flash-thing but the process seems to be daed, now [23:15] *dead [23:15] in* [23:17] why is my HDD mounted as /cdrom and why can't i format it? [23:18] mappum: why do you believe your hdd is mounted as /cdrom? [23:18] what's the default mail/calendar client in 11.10? [23:18] that's what disk utility says [23:18] i know loads of people have this issue, so someone must have an answer.. i refuse to belive that everyone just moved away from ubuntu [23:18] nvm, it's /dev/sda1 [23:18] mappum: pastebin the output of « mount » and « sudo fdisk -l » [23:19] might be a stupid drive utility [23:19] here's the problem, that is a different machine than this [23:19] and no network access [23:19] :/ [23:19] Satanaa: my laptop has some weird issue where it dims the backlight but I can return it to normal by increasing brightness [23:20] but if i try to format it it says "the daemon is being inhibited" [23:20] jrib when i think about it, it is dim indeed [23:20] but i cant do that [23:20] i have to reboot [23:20] can somebody help me out here? I have made little progress trying to boot in recovery mode with my old kernel, I am getting an error pointing to my video card but I cannot even get a shell otherwise I would save my files and reinstall [23:20] mappum, the hdd and cdrom might have gotten swapped in your udex presistant drives files [23:20] Satanaa: is it a laptop? [23:20] netbook, so same thing [23:21] Satanaa: do the brightness keys work? [23:21] the FN doesnt work when its dim [23:21] yup first i did really [23:21] Satanaa: do they work normally? [23:21] mdsilva: i don't have a cd drive, and this is a brand new live USB [23:21] jrgp yup [23:21] Ubuntu 10.10 crashed after what appears to be a kernel update and now I have what a appears to be a proprietary drm blob and no way to boot [23:21] Satanaa: if you wait for it to dim and try to wake it up within a minute, do you still have the issue? [23:22] I get dpkg: ../../src/archives.c:978: tarobject: Assertion `r == stab.st_size' failed. [23:22] when trying to install oneiric with debootstrap [23:22] jrib yup, only thing i can do is to reboot [23:23] to make it even more fun, I get it on a first package [23:23] Satanaa: have you tried to replicate the issue by issuing somewhat-related commands? I am thinking of just starting the screensaver, then playing with dpms using xset and trying to experiment [23:23] mappum, do you have any kind of optical drives at all? [23:24] jrib we got to a point where i no longer understand you haha [23:24] how the heck do I get rhythmbox to STOP PLAYING when I close it. [23:25] Satanaa: well I'm just suggesting you try to issue the command to start the screensaver, then see if the issue presents itself. If not, try using xset to play with the different dpms settings [23:25] or alternatively, how do I get banshee to stop crashing every 4 minutes [23:25] mdsilva: no other drives than the usb and hdd [23:25] magn3ts, pause it first [23:25] robin0800, lol thats not what I want [23:26] Satanaa: also, if you close the lid and open it again, are you able to use the system? [23:26] mappum, does it call anything /dev/sda1 ? [23:26] Can anyone help me recover my files from an external drive? [23:26] jrib yea i am sometimes :) [23:26] spartan2276: maybe, what seems to be the problem [23:27] so, anyone about the flash-video thing? [23:27] spartan2276: plug in, go to drive in nautilus [23:27] but it has to power down [23:27] !helpme | MisterX [23:27] MisterX: 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 [23:27] do you recommend a distupgrade, or fresh install? [23:27] mdsilva: Disk Utility says the "device" is /dev/sda1 but it says it is mounted at /cdrom [23:27] !distupgrade [23:27] A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. Please see !upgrade for the proper way to upgrade to a new version of Ubuntu. [23:27] !upgrade [23:27] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [23:27] … [23:27] spartan2276, from what you said before those files are probably gone forever. you powered down the drive and expected an automatic umount to flush the buffers *after* the power was cut [23:27] SwashBuckla: upgrade with backups just in case [23:28] This is freaking absurd. Banshee won't play music without crashing, Rhythmbox can't be quit unless you use Unity. who is in charge of this ux nonse [23:28] in the past I have experienced a lot of problems with distupgrading [23:28] magn3ts: upgrade to mpd :) [23:28] SwashBuckla: yeah me too...can't even boot now [23:28] everytime I look, I can't find a good client for it jrib [23:29] mappum, you might try unmounting it from /cdrom [23:29] random crashing, frankenstein monster style upgrading [23:29] Boontoo: :( [23:29] (@jrib) Is anyone of the honorable guests here able to contribute to the channel's discussion on the topic of finding and saving a flash-video of youtube while not finding even a PID for libflashplayer.so ? [23:29] magn3ts: ever try amarok, or exaile with alsa? [23:29] magn3ts: I like ncmpcpp, it's a terminal app though. I think a nice gtk one I tried once is sonata [23:29] mdsilva: how would i go about doing that? [23:29] mdsilva, how is that even possible? [23:29] jrib i take you have the same issue hehe [23:29] what's the default mail/calendar client in 11.10? [23:29] mdsilva: it still says "the daemon is being inhibited" [23:30] Satanaa: my suspend seems to work ok but takes an eternity to actually wake-up [23:30] mappum, the command would be "umount /cdrom" [23:30] mdsilva, what does me unplugin the drive has to do with the files being wiped out [23:30] jrib: backup what? [23:30] SwashBuckla: whatever you want? [23:30] i think its really hard to get used to unity when the devs have messed the distro up at the same time :/ [23:30] jrib: I suppose that depends on what you want :) Yeah thought so [23:30] just /home reallyu [23:31] Satanaa: what is "messed up"? [23:31] SwashBuckla: i've upgraded since warty and have only experienced 2 issues (which were documented in release notes anyway) [23:31] Hilikus, I don't think there is a default mail/calender they are 2 different thing, if I'm incorrect you might elaborate more detail. [23:31] SwashBuckla jrib would be able to explain it way better than me :) [23:31] How do I create a launcher in 11.10? [23:31] so...there seems to be a pretty serious error in my sda1...which should not have a boot partition on it. I cannot load gparted from my ubunut install disc and fsck can't fix it [23:32] boot should be on sdb1, however, I cannot load either of my kernels even in recovery mode [23:32] The game [23:32] urlin2u: what's the default email client then? [23:32] i got a new hard drive today and installed ubuntu. now the disk utility says my partitions are misaligned! is there a way of dealing with this without destroying my partitions? [23:32] no init found. try passing init= bootarg. [23:32] Hilikus, thunderbird I believe. [23:32] SwashBuckla but everytime my screen goes to idle mode, its dimmed all black, and stays that way [23:33] Hilikus, http://news.softpedia.com/news/Ubuntu-11-10-Will-Use-Thunderbird-as-Default-Mail-Client-216288.shtml [23:33] Satanaa: you can not un-blank it? [23:33] (without a hard reset) [23:33] spartan2276, files are kept in cache/buffer in the computer's main memory, and they are not for-sure written to the drive until a "umount" command takes place.If you unplug the drive before a umount, then there may easily be files in cache that didn't get written to disk. if as you were saying before you were depending on the drive automatically being umounted when you unplugged it, then as far as the drive's concerned it was never pr [23:33] operly umounted [23:33] anyone have a recommended sql GUI program for ubuntu? [23:33] SwashBuckla i have to reboot or go to standby and then wake it up [23:34] ouch [23:34] yup [23:34] I experience frequent application hangs [23:34] The time/date no longer displays in the system tray in Ubuntu 11.10. How can I correct this? [23:34] as in once every 10 mins [23:34] im so close to format lol [23:34] froq: depends on the db. [23:34] anyone know if a way to nondestructively align partitions? [23:34] froq: PostgreSQL: pgadmin3; mysql: I dunno. [23:34] froq, for admin stuff I like mysql-admin [23:34] stercor, why? (newbie to sql) [23:35] Buy a smaller ssd to install OS on [23:35] zykotick9, I will be using it to assess medical information [23:35] er, i suppose its the blocks that are misaligned [23:35] stercor, mysql is a GUI in its self [23:35] :-( [23:35] ?? [23:35] froq: Each SQL server has its own syntax for statements, and the server needs to communicate with the client with a specific protocol. [23:36] froq: I've not done MySQL in years, preferring PostgreSQL. [23:36] okay. [23:36] Does that chosen sql server matter much outside of proper statements? [23:36] #capoiera [23:37] anyone know a workaround for sudo fsck /dev/sda1, if you have an invalid sperblock i.e. (GUID partition) [23:37] ? [23:37] froq: Oh, there are dialects of SQL used by the various vendors: MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, ... [23:37] Is anyone seeing my posts? I am not on anonymous mode right? [23:38] froq: Unless you're running some large complex DB, I'd suggest going with whatever is suggested for your particular applications [23:38] Is it possible to install ubuntu to the same device it is installing from? [23:38] What is the difference between suspend and hibernate? [23:38] froq: But the byte stream between the server and and client is different for each database. [23:38] Boontoo, I see your posts, I just don't have an answer [23:38] mdsilva: ah, okey dokey [23:38] pnorman: Good advice. [23:38] stercor, o! so some servers are better for transferring data over internet, etc. [23:38] Any potential savings in speed or flexability will be outweighed by the bother of setting up something non-standard [23:39] froq: Actually, it's the results of an SQL query that go out. [23:39] ... [23:39] Myrtti its op ? [23:40] Ragnarock: huh? [23:40] But if you're talking about remote access, that's a whole subject in itself. [23:40] Boontoo, is the partition corrupted or do you just need to reload grub to the mbr, or purge and reload grub in the partition. Have you run the bootscript to see? [23:40] you all are giving me info overload!!! :) [23:40] mdsilva, what client are you using? Xchat? [23:41] zircon [23:41] Ah [23:41] can someone help me verify a google talk ssl cert? [23:41] I have been looking through dmesg for errors, but I am not entirely sure what is wrong with the partition. I get a warning for a GUID partition table and it is listed as GPT under sudo fdisk -l [23:41] is it possible to move the unity bar to the bottom of the screen? [23:41] pidgin has just prompted me to confirm the talk.google.com cert with a sha1 hash of 0c:99:2a:04:72:48:59:1a:3c:cf:ab:60:d0:2a:9e:73:73:42:f0:08 [23:41] Myrtti ima brazilian my englysh its very very low [23:41] sorry [23:41] How do I lock my xfce screen >.< [23:42] Boontoo, was it a gpt to begin with or is this a set up made dynamic by putting to many partition on the hd? [23:42] froq: A nice little play toy to learn rudimentary SQL is SQLite. But it's good enough that Mozilla uses it in Firefox. It's in many applications, including phones. [23:42] stercor, well then that is what I want to learn! :) I just want to dabble in databases. [23:43] quentusrex: I can't help, but I recall seeing something in another channel about changes to google talk certs [23:43] urlin2u: this is the result of a kernel update I believe, I was working fine for months and some program was malfunctioning, I went to a restart menu and this happened as it reloaded [23:43] I have had a recent idea for medicine, and the first step is to learn databases. [23:43] Boontoo, is it a gpt setup? [23:43] Hilikus, the panel or the launcher not that it matters as the answer is no [23:43] froq: SQLite is easy to set up, as opposed to other DBs. [23:43] urlin2u: I believe it should have been ext2, but I set it up in gparted about 6 months ago I think [23:44] froq: http://www.sqlite.org/ [23:44] I found mysql nearly impossible to setup [23:44] !br | Ragnarock [23:44] Ragnarock: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para entrar no canal por favor faça "/join #ubuntu-br" sem as aspas. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [23:44] mdsilva: I found postgresql harder to setup, but that was because I was doing a much more complex setup === NaN is now known as Guest93805 [23:45] Boontoo, I would run the bootscript and look at it yourself or post the results.text in a pastebin to get more info here. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ [23:45] mdsilva: Monty Widenius, after Oracle bought MySQL, has a new MariaDB that is a drop-in for MySQL. And not related to Oracle. [23:45] awesome, it has a direct c/c++ interface!! [23:45] stercor, yes I tried MariaDB also, I couldn't get it to make [23:46] ubottu leva a mau nao mas os brasileiros nao tao com nada em relação a ajuda em ubuntu [23:46] Ragnarock: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:46] Boontoo, basically the info you give is to fragmented at least for me and not specific. [23:46] froq: The only thing that SQLite doesn't do well is when there are multiple clients going after the data. [23:46] how difficult is it to transfer information from say sqlite to mysql at a latter date? [23:46] ahuahuahauhauhauahau [23:46] ubottu is a bot [23:46] Yes, I can confirm that I am a bot. http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots for all information. [23:46] urlin2u: agreed, I am sifting through a lot of craziness right now, I will try the boot info script [23:46] escott [23:47] froq: Depends on how you export it. You can export it as INSERT statements and it'll run on most databases. [23:47] able portuguese ? [23:47] Ragnarock: n'este canal so falamos ingles. Para falar portugues tem que ir ao #ubuntu-br [23:47] stercor, cool!!! I just don't want to get into one database and then realize I would be better off with another. [23:47] Ragnarock, no, only spanish and not well enough to converse about computers. sorry there isnt anyone in !br [23:47] mdsilva: I've gotten PostgreSQL up... it's nice. Faster than expected! [23:48] ok mans [23:48] stercor, me too, I thought pgsql was the best working db I could actually get running [23:48] froq: That's the reason for exporting as INSERT statements. You can go from one database to another easily. [23:49] mdsilva: And it will (probably) never be taken over by commercial interests. [23:49] froq, the problem is the most time consuming part is getting the create table statements done correctly (especially if you use special data types or foreign keys) [23:50] escott: Ooo...I'd forgotten about that. :-( [23:50] stercor, the only problem with pgsql is trying to export back to mysql format :( [23:50] mdsilva: INSERT doesn't do it? [23:50] okay. i see. [23:50] will there be any problems loading the 3.1 kernel on 11.10? [23:51] stercor, that didn't work when I tried it. but maybe I was trying wrong [23:51] mdsilva: I'd bet you were doing it right... [23:51] jrib, anyone know how to install nvidia drivers to run extension. and I can pass all the procedures here in the channel? [23:53] How do I set up a launcher in 11.10? I'd like to click on an icon and have an x3270 session come up. Yeah, I'm an old mainframer... [23:53] urlin2u: I am not sure how long it should take to make the results.txt file but I get this warning before it begins (and it is still running) http://pastebin.com/wcFZ8hBc [23:53] stercor, use alacarte to create the launcher [23:53] !info alacarte | stercor [23:53] stercor: alacarte (source: alacarte): easy GNOME menu editing tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.13.2-2ubuntu3 (oneiric), package size 52 kB, installed size 348 kB [23:54] escott: Thanks! [23:54] Hello all [23:54] escott: I have to bring synaptic up via terminal. Not a happy camper. [23:55] hi could someone please help me with the shorewall setup [23:55] ph4nt0m_: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [23:55] ok [23:55] Ragnarock: I can send you instructions in english on how to install nvidia drivers if you want [23:55] !nvidia | Ragnarock [23:55] Ragnarock: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [23:55] sudo cp /usr/share/doc/shorewall-common/examples/one-interface/* /etc/shorewall/ this command isnt working [23:55] ph4nt0m_: what happens when you try? [23:56] cp cannot stat [23:56] and the command after it [23:56] ph4nt0m_: do you have shorewall-common installed? === Guest93805 is now known as NaN [23:56] not sure ill check brb [23:56] ph4nt0m_: what version of ubuntu by the way? [23:56] im using blackbuntu distro [23:57] stercor, why not just apt-get install alacarte [23:57] based on maverick [23:57] escott: good question...it's installed... [23:57] ph4nt0m_, cannot stat means the file/folder doesnt exist [23:57] ph4nt0m_: unofficial derivatives aren't supported here [23:57] ph4nt0m_, and we don't support blackbuntu here [23:58] hi [23:58] ok is there a channel which does? [23:58] !alis | ph4nt0m_ [23:58] ph4nt0m_: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* [23:58] any idea if files from launchpadlibrarian.net are safe? [23:58] ph4nt0m_: check the site for blackbuntu [23:58] ty [23:58] ok, so now i have ubuntu running on my lappy from a fresh burned cd, but i do have a minor problem. i'm using my 50" plasma as an extended desktop, for the most part it is working fine, however i can't find a setting that is quite correct for it, it seems that the desktop image goes slightly beyond the edges of the screen, does anyone have experence with this? [23:59] Boontoo, the indicators in the terminal are correct in the pastrebin but it should finish in a bout 3 seconds. [23:59] I migrated from Debian tonight. Then I copied lots of folders from old /home/user. I only could do this as superuser. Now all my folders belong to root. How can I make all of them, including subfolders, belong to me, a normal user? [23:59] Chraz_Ritt, make sure the tv isn't set to zoom in some way [23:59] Someone help me please? [23:59] Chraz_Ritt, that sounds like the plasma screen's settings [23:59] Linux darkside 2.6.32-34-generic #77-Ubuntu SMP Tue Sep 13 19:39:17 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux
