[00:00] then it said gdm start/running [00:00] ,process 3852 [00:00] leeping, nice :D good luck ( publish the results if you manage to get it done ) :D [00:01] so from root I tried to just type gdm [00:01] then it told me unable to load file /etc/gdm/custom.conf [00:02] tjkent: have you tried re-installation of gnome [00:02] no not yet [00:02] dardevelin, sure. I think other people might be running into this problem as well. [00:02] apt-get install gnome? [00:03] tjkent, are you using 11.10? as it doesn't use GDM by default. [00:03] I know [00:03] boontoo: it seems that i have the xserver-xorg-video-sis already install why it would take care of it automatic.... [00:03] zykotick9: I downloaded it [00:03] and it worked fine [00:03] if I have unity and gnome who is the log-in screen? [00:03] tjkent, and the correct syntax would probably be "sudo service gdm start" or stop or restart [00:04] DuCkNeT: you might need to create an xorg.conf that points to the driver for your XGI card, have you looked to see if anyone has sucessfully run the card with ubuntu? [00:06] is there a ready-made [{()}] checker? [00:06] ...and no, this is not a homework assignment. I need it for a LaTeX typesetting script. [00:06] boontoo: no i didnt... [00:06] stercor: gedit does it, I do believe [00:07] DuCkNeT: might want to check and see if it is even possible first [00:07] almoxarife: Learn something new every day! Thanks! [00:08] stercor, gedit is pretty awesome for 'just' a text editor [00:08] I love gedit [00:08] and vim [00:08] go vim [00:09] Boontoo: What in particular do you like about vi(m) [00:09] there is an amazing set of plugins that make gedit compete with full fledged IDE's [00:10] but anyways emacs rolls [00:10] judgen: its versatile, you can search through and edit files without a gui and you can work with multiple projects quickly [00:10] I am thinking that it can't read my files right now [00:10] The best IDE i have ever used it BeIDE, it is not updated and only available on BeOS.. so pretty much useless nowdays. But it was the best for my purpuses. [00:10] nevermind [00:11] Is it possible to make a launcher on the sidebar that launches several applications at once? [00:11] what is superblock? [00:11] I'm a superblock! =D [00:12] I save all the other blocks. [00:12] and my only weakness.....are circles...... [00:12] !offtopic | qmanjr5 [00:12] because somehow my mount time and write is in the future when I run fsck [00:12] qmanjr5: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [00:12] If i want to make gedit do colour syntax on paradox scenario files (it uses particular syntaxes and other stuff) could it be done easily? [00:12] judgen: does it automatically [00:13] oblivion scheme is nice [00:13] Is it possible to make a launcher on the sidebar that launches several applications at once? [00:13] tjkent: hds are divided into sections called blocks, the superblock describes the filesystem as a whole [00:13] judgen: im tired, didnt even read what you wrote properly [00:13] Gentoo64, btw do you happen to know if there is any development of gedit profiles/config-sets [00:13] Gentoo64: I tried some paradox files, and the colouring works poorly by default. on those files But i might be missing something. [00:14] dardevelin: I'm not sure [00:14] Boontoo: well do you have any ideas [00:14] Alright, nevermind that one. What command would I use to launch a new terminal with a certain command? [00:14] qmanjr5: gnome-terminal -e [00:15] what's the -e do? [00:15] runs a command [00:15] -e=extend to * [00:15] eg a shortcut gnome-terminal -e rtorrent will open rtorrent [00:15] So it'd be gnome-terminal -e ? [00:15] yea [00:15] Awesome! :D [00:16] tjkent: I would try using a default display manager, instead of gnome [00:16] tried cmus? it is the only audio player i use nowdays. [00:16] yeah same [00:16] urxvt -e cmus [00:16] on my app list :) [00:16] hehe [00:16] how would I change it? [00:17] best music player ever made [00:17] Gentoo64: Are you on gentoo now? [00:17] and to run a .jar application in terminal, it'd be path/to/.jar, right? [00:17] yeah [00:17] well im in an openbsd vm atm [00:17] s/in/from/ [00:17] Gentoo64: Does twin build properly on gentoo? All .deb distros cant do it nowdays it seems. Arch does it fine, and chakra does too. [00:17] http://pastebin.com4E9Ms7gt http://pastebin.com/afijMr4i [00:17] Is SVN 1.7.x available in one of the repos, and if so how can I get it? [00:18] judgen: no idea [00:18] I rebooted my computer and now I get "no init found. try passing init= bootarg" [00:18] Gentoo64: You should try it. It is an desktop enviroment for CLI [00:18] and to run a .jar application in terminal, it'd be path/to/.jar, right? [00:18] s/in/from/ [00:18] AaronCampbell: No, not in any of the releases. [00:18] something scrambled my boot partition and it reads as GPT, anyone have any idea how to recover the partition, fsck does not work [00:18] how do you clear the recent items in the dash? [00:19] Gentoo64: If it does, i might give gentoo another try. [00:19] qmanjr5, "java -jar yourJarFile.jar" [00:19] judgen: is it literally called "twin"? [00:19] Gentoo64: It is so awsome to use over SSH [00:19] hmm its only available in overlay [00:20] Gentoo64: http://sourceforge.net/projects/twin/ [00:20] not gona try it now goin bed soon [00:20] how do i change keyboard layout system-wide ? [00:20] Pici: Thanks. How long does it usually take? I have several repositories on a shared drive that I access from multiple computers on this network. All the others are on 1.7.1 now, so I'd love to upgrade the working copies (single .svn directory is really nice) [00:21] Hi there, the options "blacklist nouveau" have been added to grub.cfg. I am still not getting a display and the NVidia driver is still segfaulting. I have tried going to a previous kernel version. I have tried installing the Ubuntu-provided driver and also installing the driver from NVidia. The error is always the same. :( [00:21] damn bsd is so slow. takes longer to install the binaries than to compile them [00:21] So 11.10 clean install doesn't recognize my headphones apparently, never had this prob before. even tried reinstalling [00:22] Pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com/721197/ . Desperately need this help [00:22] AaronCampbell: Since its not even in Precise yet (12.04), nor in debian, it may take a while. [00:22] leeping: what abou backup files and clean install? [00:22] or is that no option? [00:22] would probably be quicker! [00:22] Gentoo64, I would rather not have to do that .. this is my workstation and it has hundreds of GB of data on it, and I have spent 30+ hours compiling and installing things [00:22] Pici: Thanks. [00:23] ok [00:23] hello there [00:24] Mkay, say I have a .sh file that launches a couple applications. is it possible to launch them on a specific workspace? [00:24] I rebooted my computer and now I get "no init found. try passing init= bootarg" [00:24] something scrambled my boot partition and it reads as GPT, anyone have any idea how to recover the partition, fsck does not work [00:24] http://pastebin.com4E9Ms7gt http://pastebin.com/afijMr4i [00:25] does anyone know where the dash unity icon is located ?!

I have this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/389519 and would like to install the fix. But i dont know how. Can anyone help me? [00:28] Launchpad bug 389519 in xorg-server (Ubuntu) "[Needs 1.11]Cursor can move off-screen when dual-monitors do not form rectangular area" [High,Fix released] [00:28] anyone? [00:28] boxybrown: look at synaptic you can filter there [00:29] clear [00:29] I also think that you can apt-cache ppa but not sure [00:29] my setup is ubuntu 11.10 and gnome3 with nvidia drivers [00:29] when i install ubuntu server .. there is a selection .. Please enter the hostname for this system ... would that be my FQDN "me.example.com" or just "me" ? [00:30] anyone ? [00:31] hey does anyone know how to remove a file with-in a directory [00:31] rm dir_name -fr [00:31] sudo rm file.ext [00:31] hi , i installed ubuntu and resized a ntfs partition where w7 is installed ... now im receiving a BSOD while tryong to boot using w7 [00:31] any hints? [00:31] used gparted [00:32] Ok, so I have been a linux admin for 7 years, I move to ubuntu and now I can't seem to get a simple dhcp service to stop. [00:32] host name is @ like in termial I think ... [00:32] it keeps resetting my resolv.conf and hostname [00:32] TheDigitalNinja: look at network-manager, it's updating resolv.conf [00:32] hey #ubuntu, i'm having trouble running a shell script that opens a python script. i have python 2.7 installed, but when i try to run the shell script it returns RuntimeError: Bad magic number in .pyc file [00:32] i edit my /etc/network/interfaces have them set to static [00:32] TheDigitalNinja: network-manager most likely. [00:32] EzeQL, you need a windows boot cd/dvd [00:33] TheDigitalNinja, /etc/init.d/dhcpd stop .. if i rember right [00:34] 11.10 doesnt have a /etc/init.d/dhcp [00:34] TheDigitalNinja, if you are using the interfaces file - i'd recommend disabling (or perhaps removing) network-manager [00:34] nore a "service dhcp stop" [00:34] I am having some problem with Gnome in Ubuntu 11.10, any help? [00:35] TheDigitalNinja, a dhcp server or the dhclient app? [00:35] anyone? [00:35] robin0800 , why? [00:35] dhcp client. it won;t stop updating my resol.conf and hostname. But my interfaces file is set to static. Thats how I always did it in the centos world [00:36] TheDigitalNinja, it's network-manager that's messing things up probably [00:36] Apache sent me to you guys.. I'm running 11.04 Server and I get: [00:36] apache2 -S [00:36] apache2: bad user name ${APACHE_RUN_USER} [00:36] TheDigitalNinja, most debian users don't use the interface file [00:36] s/debian/ubuntu/ [00:36] Aric: use apache2ctl [00:36] EzeQL, you need a windows boot cd/dvd to repair win 7 [00:37] alright, i'll read into that. thanks guys. network-manager is on the server version of ubuntu too I assume. [00:37] ty [00:37] Graphics not working properly in Gnome, Unity is fine [00:37] Everything seems blurry [00:37] am I missing any package [00:37] TheDigitalNinja, i doubt by default (on server) but you could as in #ubuntu-server to find out for sure [00:37] im browsing ubuntu website, 11.10 recently came out and im wondering where i can find descriptions of which glibc/gcc/emacs versions and such come with or are in the repo..where can i look that up?

[00:38] jrib, and then from there hit oneiric (11.10) ? [00:38] Palace_Chan: yes [00:38] jrib, awesome thanks [00:39] Palace_Chan: you can search for specific packages [00:39] " [00:39] oops [00:40] jrib: original error on configure was configure: error: cannot find install-sh, install.sh, or shtool in build "."/build [00:40] GleasonGrails: what are you trying to accomplish?

[01:22] tom3p: save your data¿ [01:23] tom3p: Without loosing what? [01:23] !hardy [01:23] Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu.

[01:23] haha [01:24] What? I can't use /msg nickserv identify [01:24] I want to create a firewall that turns off all outgoing traffic, anyone know an easy way to do that? [01:24] unplug your Internet [01:25] xp_prg, set the default action for outgoing to DENY [01:25] yes that would work, but I don't want dhcp to change my address [01:25] nrdb how do I do that? [01:25] Set a policy to block outgoing access. [01:25] xp_prg, what are you using for the firewall ? [01:26] Why can't I message the nick or chan serv to identify myself? It said it failed to open a private chat. [01:26] its ubuntu 11, not sure which one it is using [01:26] IPcop, firestarter [01:27] is there a way to find out? [01:27] xp_prg, are you manipulating the iptables yourself of using something else to do it for you? [01:28] nrdb I haven't made a choice about that yet [01:28] I love Gnome 3. It's a lot better than Unity. [01:28] hi [01:28] DurzoBlint15: nonsense, unity runs on top of gnome [01:28] nrdb what do you recommend? [01:28] how do I blacklist the nouveau video driver so that I can install the proprietary NVidia ones? [01:29] sup guys [01:29] I just like the feel of GNOME 3. No more annoying dock on the left side of the screen. [01:29] xp_prg, iptables gives much more control, something like ufw is easier to learn, depends on how much control you need. [01:29] unity is better after .10 [01:29] xp_prg: You could edit /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf and remove domain-name-servers from the request section. [01:29] but still no likey [01:30] xp_prg, do you really need to limit outgoing connections? I generally just limit incomming. [01:30] nrdb ya iptables is kind of difficult for me to handle, I think I will use ufw, is that a gui? [01:30] nrdb yes, I don't want to affect production [01:30] if ur gonna learn linux need to learn iptables [01:30] not as bad as u think [01:30] I am a mere mortal :( [01:31] no one uses ufw on enterprise environment [01:31] its a dev environment [01:31] all use cent, and iptables or csw/etc [01:31] i hear u [01:31] I've been trying to install JDK1.6.0_29 for an hour and then I figured out I needed to use "sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_29/bin/javac 3"....

[01:33] xp_prg, are you trying to just stop everything email, web all of it. [01:33] I'm bored... Is there anything cool I can do on Ubuntu through the terminal? I'm fairly new to Ubuntu. [01:33] I don't have access [01:33] nrdb ya [01:34] yeah all u should use is term when u can [01:34] when I try "setsid unity" I end up with a crash aright after being told "unity-panel-service: no process found" [01:34] xp_prg: Or build a router for the LAN with these controls. [01:34] install something fun like subsonic [01:34] xp_prg, I would use iptables to do that.. [01:34] What's Subsonic chongo? [01:34] DurzoBlint15: sudo apt-get cmatrix [01:34] nrdb can you teach me a little bit about iptables? [01:34] DurzoBlint15: Then cmatrix [01:34] media streaming service, streams ur movies (transcoded) and music === pothos_ is now known as pothos [01:34] its fakn awesom [01:35] i got a kewl hack for it too :P [01:35] DurzoBlint15 install blender and make a 3d game with no programming [01:35] u try what I said with UNITY? [01:36] I installed cmatrix. What does it do? [01:36] also you should install alien [01:36] and iftop [01:36] htop [01:36] DurzoBlint15: run it. [01:37] What's htop? I know what alien is. [01:37] chongopants: any idea what I would get a segfault from unity --replace? [01:37] hrm, you know how to run strace? [01:37] htop is like top but MUCH better [01:37] xp_prg, join me on #xp_prg [01:37] iftop is bandwidth monitoring [01:38] iftop is nice [01:39] I ran cmatrix lol. What a pointless but entertaining program. [01:39] It's probably really simple, but when I use jp2a (jpeg2ascii) it works perfectly. When a script that cron runs tries to use jp2a, it fails. [01:39] it's a mystery to me.. [01:40] and obviously I can get no output, that's problematic too.. [01:40] subsonic is best media server I have seen in a while [01:41] try stracing it via the pid used by the cron [01:41] folks, I'm having some debilitating issues w/ my mouse and keyboard freezing .. seems to happen every 10 seconds or so. I thought maybe it was a power issue b/c it's wireless so I plugged in a wired mouse/keyboard and get the same thing ... only thing that works is banging my mouse on the desk [01:41] Ive a problme with my media players mplayer and kaffeine: they are not showing any picture when i click a video-file.. after i start totem parallel the picture suddenly occurs.. whats wrong here?! [01:41] sool install subsonic [01:42] chongopants, why? whats that? [01:42] I have no idea, I've never heard of it [01:42] and use VLC for vids [01:42] Sool, using 3D desktop? [01:42] subsonic is a media program [01:43] chongo, what was the program you wanted me to download? You said it was a video service? [01:43] subsonic [01:43] W3ird_N3rd, yes [01:43] ty [01:43] http://www.subsonic.org/ [01:43] chomping, nah, i want mplayer [01:43] and its in repo [01:43] Sool, it would sound like some video driver issue.. you can try running mplayer -vo xv yourfile.avi from the commandline [01:43] see what happens [01:44] try switching to fullscreen too (f) [01:44] Can't install it. I need the repository. [01:44] can't install what? [01:44] W3ird_N3rd, nice, that works.. whats that? [01:44] subsonic [01:44] ah [01:44] u using ubuntu? [01:44] W3ird_N3rd, and wat might be the prob? [01:44] ubuntu 11.10 [01:45] Wow IRC is still alive [01:45] u can go to shell and type [01:45] Sool, what video driver/card do you have? [01:45] wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/subsonic/subsonic/4.5/subsonic-4.5.deb?r=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.subsonic.org%2Fpages%2Fdownload2.jsp%3Ftarget%3Dsubsonic-4.5.deb&ts=1319766308&use_mirror=cdnetworks-us-2 [01:45] chongopants: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:45] and then run it [01:45] W3ird_N3rd, oh shoots i had totem running.. now i cant find out if it works [01:45] its newer than the repo anyways [01:46] W3ird_N3rd, when i start totem every player works all of a sudden [01:46] W3ird_N3rd, Nvidia 550GTX [01:46] they are probably using same backend [01:46] my best guess is totem occupies the video output (vdpau perhaps) and that may be what's not working [01:46] W3ird_N3rd, Driver 285.05.09 [01:46] you can try mplayer -vo vdpau yourfile.avi [01:47] W3ird_N3rd, any solutions tot hat? [01:47] if that doesn't work and -vo xv does, you need to use xv (of figure out why vdpau if broken) [01:47] Anyone here managed triple or more displays with gnome 3 ? [01:47] Dang! I formatted my hardrive when I upgraded so I have to torrent the Big Bang Theory again... Off Topic but dang... [01:47] W3ird_N3rd, hmm.. [01:47] W3ird_N3rd, well thanks [01:47] you can set xv as default in your media players [01:47] hey how do I blacklist nouveau?? it's getting in the way of my trying to install the nvidia drivers... [01:48] if you don't need vdpau that'll work fine [01:48] DurzoBlint15 - sickbeard is your friend [01:48] W3ird_N3rd, id prefer it to runn without workarounds [01:48] I have it listed in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf, but this shit keeps popping back up on reboot like zombie jesus. [01:48] lol [01:49] Roey uninstalling the b*****d worked for me [01:49] ro0Ot: well I did that, and the only package that is left now is the nouveau libdrm [01:49] Sool, it's not really a workaround.. well vdpau might be broken, but if you don't need it it's not worth the trouble to try and make it work [01:49] Does GNOME 3 have an option to turn the bar at the top of the screen from black to white? [01:49] yeah theme [01:49] ro0Ot, Roey: Please try to keep the language appropriate === Mud is now known as Guest44861 [01:49] W3ird_N3rd, hmm ok thanks [01:49] Ok, thanks. [01:49] ro0Ot: I tried to remove it but then poppeped up a huge list of other packages which would also be removed. [01:50] mud: k. [01:50] er, h00k, ok. [01:50] Sool, for mplayer you can set your default options in ~/.mplayer/config === gnomitsu is now known as Guest32579 [01:50] l8r ppl [01:50] for other media players, it's often somewhere in the configuration screen [01:50] Where did the subsonic.deb go? I can't find it after using wget. [01:51] W3ird_N3rd, uh i forgot: mplayer is giving me a BLACK screen, not nothing (as -vo vdpau is) [01:51] I understood that [01:52] W3ird_N3rd, -vo xv doenst solute it either [01:52] Roey - ah yes now I remember ... but I can't remember how I got round it - I must of hacked round it updated initrd or something crazy like that.... Yeah HATE noveau [01:52] Sool, -vo gl ? [01:52] on the other hand, if both vdpau and xv don't work you really have something going on and probably better fix that. :P [01:53] I just installed gnome-shell, and everything looks good except for the bar at the top. It's horribly messed up. [01:53] W3ird_N3rd, no shit [01:53] W3ird_N3rd, gl doenst either [01:53] Sool: please keep the language appropriate and family-friendly :) [01:53] Sool - NO PROFANITIES .... you've been warned [01:53] h00k, huh? [01:54] Sorry. but how do I run a .deb file? I tried ./subsonic.deb but it didn't work. [01:54] Sool, well if it was just for vdpau it could be an isolated problem, but looks like it isn't [01:54] Sool, you said poop. [01:54] W3ird_N3rd, right.. Oo [01:54] DurzoBlint15, you dont run a deb [01:54] you install it [01:54] W3ird_N3rd, ah i see ^^ [01:54] Well how do I install it? [01:54] ro0Ot: this is so effing stupid. [01:55] W3ird_N3rd, hmm.. [01:55] DurzoBlint15, the command is sudo dpkg -i foobar.deb replace foobar with the name of the deb [01:55] Oh I got it. Never mind. I just double click it... [01:55] ro0Ot: every time I do-release-upgrade, I have to mess with my system for a day to get it to work right. [01:55] * ro0Ot wishes he could have Gnome 3 running on triple display :( [01:55] well yeah [01:55] you COULD doubleclick it [01:55] but why doubleclick [01:55] when you can TYPE A COMMAND [01:55] Gskellig: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:55] lol. [01:55] know the command [01:55] Roey : Tell me about it. :( [01:55] Vote Ban Noveau [01:56] hi [01:56] hey, is there any way to see a list of all available packages??? [01:56] :/ Is there a gnome channel ? Maybe I would be better off in there [01:56] there has to be from apt-cache [01:57] I'm running an Ubuntu system with a GT440. I cannot seem to get audio via HDMI out. I had it working and once I rebooted I lost audio. I can't get it back even though it's selected in sound preferences. Any ideas?? [01:57] i've googled this a billion times [01:57] ro0Ot, eeasyy [01:57] Sool : r'ly ? Please share .... I tried it before but couldn't get it working [01:58] ro0Ot:I will so vote against novueau. [01:58] boxybrown: why? [01:58] eight, bye evrbdy [01:59] boxybrown: tried apt-cache help ¿ [02:00] xangua: closest i got was apt-cache pkgnames, but i need to see what repos every package is coming from [02:01] trying to get into rescue mode on LTS. how do I do this? [02:01] jrib: I'm trying to debug why all the packages in this ppa I installed are not showing up [02:01] esjesjesj: from grub at boot [02:02] jrib: I'm trying to see all the packages, along with the repos they are coming from [02:02] boxybrown: run "sudo apt-get update" [02:02] never se grup. just pops int the splash screen [02:02] jrib: did that, not working [02:02] jrib: it will only show me one of the two packages [02:02] boxybrown: pastebin output [02:02] i am trying to scp and i have a syntax error of some sort. I need a proof reader. http://pastebin.com/LTnCRq8Q [02:02] boxybrown: be more specific. What ppa? What one package? Which two packages? [02:02] jrib: pastebin output of what.... apt-get update? [02:02] boxybrown: yes [02:02] jrib: ppa: https://launchpad.net/~tjaalton/+archive/ppa?field.series_filter=maverick [02:03] esjesjesj: hold ESC or shift (depends on grub version) === ev_ is now known as enix316 [02:03] jrib: the package that is showing up is sssd, it depends on ding-libs which is NOT showing up [02:03] aeon-ltd: tried both [02:03] aeon-ltd: and nothing === ericm-Zzz is now known as ericm|ubuntu [02:03] help: who can tell me that how to connect the mysql with qt4.7.4! the qt4.7.4 don't have the mysql driver.please === sysadamin|away is now known as sysadamin [02:04] boxybrown: are you using maverick¿ [02:05] k bk [02:05] boxybrown: ding-libs is just the source packag [02:05] e [02:06] jrib: what do you mean? [02:06] xangua: yes, I"m using maverick [02:06] I have spamassassin building on launchpad automatically using the /debian/ info that I've included in upstream trunk. But I can't get it to build from the command line. "debuild -us -uc" is complaining about a lack of an .orig.tar.gz file. I've seen some mention of generating that .orig.tar.gz file, but not how. What am I missing? [02:07] shen, try asking in #qt. That's offtopic here. [02:07] boxybrown: ding-libs is a source package. From it, binary packages are created (of which there may be more than one and they may have different names). See http://ppa.launchpad.net/tjaalton/ppa/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/binary-i386/Packages [02:07] sheng, ^ [02:08] jrib: so both of those packages (sssd and ding-libs) i should be able to apt-cache search. is that not correct? [02:08] boxybrown: that is not correct [02:08] or are you saying i can't directly install ding-libs [02:08] #qt [02:09] boxybrown: run apt-update and try again ;) [02:09] sudo apt-get update * [02:09] i did do that... [02:09] <_schism_> can someone point me to a page explaining how to setup a password in x11vnc? all I have found so far is I need one but not how to do it [02:09] and i tried to do apt-get install sssd, and it failed [02:09] sheng, it's '/join #qt' (no quotes) [02:09] boxybrown: I explained to you what is happening [02:09] madsailor, thanks [02:10] boxybrown: https://launchpad.net/~tjaalton/+archive/ppa/+packages is maybe easier to parse. You can see the packages created from ding-libs there if you expand the ding-libs package by clicking on the little arrow [02:10] hmm okay... [02:10] boxybrown: maybe you should say what you actually want to accomplish [02:11] argh. booting into grub will not go into rescue mode on shift or escape. what else can I try??? [02:11] esjesjesj, what us your definition of rescue mode in ubuntu? [02:11] single user mode [02:12] lol [02:12] init lvl [02:12] I need to reset the admin password [02:12] single user mode [02:12] esjesjesj, that is not what it is. [02:12] !password | esjesjesj [02:12] esjesjesj: Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes.

[02:14] on first user log in [02:14] jrib: ok tried that and shift and escape do not bring up the grub menu [02:14] you can just install over the top of it with ubuntu live cd [02:14] super easy [02:14] esjesjesj: what is "that" in your sentence? [02:14] what partition do i install it over? [02:14] esjesjesj, from the first account made on installing you can change it or do this http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword [02:14] the ext3/4 one [02:14] , [02:15] and the swap can be used or you can remove it prior and the install will re-add it [02:15] i have ext3 on sda6, ext3 on sda7 and swap on sda5 [02:15] boxybrown: so what happens when you try to install it? [02:16] exit [02:16] <_schism_> never mind got it [02:16] jrib: let me try to recreate the error [02:16] it says no root filesystem [02:16] jrib: that is the lost password instructions you sent me [02:17] boxybrown: by the way sssd is in the main repositories on 11.10 [02:17] !info sssd [02:17] sssd (source: sssd): System Security Services Daemon. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.5.13-0ubuntu1 (oneiric), package size 1641 kB, installed size 5716 kB [02:17] I just did a fresh install of 11.10 and checked the "Propiertary drivers for devices (restricted)" option in "Software Sources". However when I go to the "Additional Drivers" menu, the system doesn't return any additional drivers. [02:17] chongopants: is says No Root Filesystem [02:17] im using the new 13' MacBookPro [02:18] what have you done thus far? [02:18] esjesjesj: that should work. Do you not get the grub menu? If you're having trouble using this method, boot a live cd and chroot to your install [02:18] urlin2u: tried similar instructions and they failed. holding down shift key has no affect [02:19] buler? [02:19] my bad had to double click it! lmfao [02:19] boxybrown: sssd is also in maverick's standard repositories so I'm a bit confused why you are using this ppa [02:19] jrib: could the shift key be becaue the kbd is a usb keyboard? [02:19] esjesjesj: maybe (I don't know) [02:19] ok now it's asking if i want primary or logical [02:19] jrib: I've been in disucssion with the developers of sssd, they wont support sssd-1.2 which is in the maverick repo [02:20] i deleted the partitions that were suse 11.......now i have a total space of 50gb....now is it Primary or Logical..? [02:20] jrib: the developers specifically provided this ppa for maverick at my request [02:20] jrib: ok, I'll look for chroot instructions [02:20] boxybrown: why don't you upgrade ubuntu? [02:20] because these are server installs and we are trying to maintain a stable version until the next LTS... [02:21] DefTone: should be primary [02:21] Guys i recently updated my nvidia driver manually to version 285.05.09 and the installation completed successfully, but when i rebooted lightdm won't start instead i was thrown to a shell. How do i fix this guys, gdm seems to work just fine [02:21] even if i have an existing installation of windows 7? [02:21] boxybrown: do the sssd not provide repositories, or packages or their own ppa? Or is this it? [02:22] ok, leave windows alone, and install a primary for linux using the left over space [02:22] it will update your grub and you should be good [02:22] smiley_face1: sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak [02:22] jrib: this is their official ppa [02:22] according to the developers... [02:22] xorg.conf is not as it used to be [02:23] (21:21:04) boxybrown: because these are server installs and we are trying to maintain a stable version until the next LTS... - if you just want to use LTS, why do you use maverick wich Is Not LTS ¿¿ [02:24] chongopants: if i have been dual booting with windows 7 (w7 being installed initially on the system) do i still make ubuntu primary? [02:24] boxybrown: or are you trying yo say that you use lucid¿ confused :/ [02:24] boxybrown: what error do you receive? [02:24] yeah it will be fine [02:24] you can change order in grub later [02:24] DefTone: it doesn't matter if ubuntu is primary or not [02:25] ok so my bt homehub is being a regular faggot cutting off when im doing things on the net are there any methods i can use to resolve this issue pls [02:25] location for partition.......beginning or end??

[02:28] also what filesystem am i using...there's a long list. [02:29] ext4 is good for ubuntu [02:29] and mount point....wow i have used linux in a while....this is gonna be fun...ha [02:29] sorry im watching the baseball game [02:29] its getting ridiculous [02:29] mount point?

[02:32] i maligned my router not a person [02:33] its the context in which its used [02:33] a duel is necessary here, you slighted him [02:33] DefTone: you could allocate 20gb for /, and a couple gb for swap, and the rest /home [02:33] anyways this is off topic [02:33] ph4nt0m_, using a reference to a oppressed group are you really unable to realize that.

Thank you [06:47] so i have apache, and have programmed my chatbots respenses etc, now how do i host it, can anybody shed any light on this dilemma? [06:48] leeping, who forced you? :) [06:48] leeping: in bash? ive nit noticed q change. let me check [06:49] leeping: mine doesnt behave like that. maybe thats the file name ?

[08:07] jpds: hmm, I think the keyboard layout is now something like Generic 105 [08:08] lxyu: that's lag.

My middle button is too hard.. [08:15] hey all [08:15] use keyboard instead [08:15] ctrl+c ctrl+v [08:15] I'm afraid I can't let you do that. [08:16] Calinou, I do but I need to use mouse too [08:16] lxyu: so you want to look at clustering web servers? [08:16] is there a shorcut on ubuntu like aero shake, or win+home of windows? (minimize all windows but active one) [08:17] how can i make a custom snakeoil SSL cert? [08:18] somsip: don't quite sure, but not that like clustering. it's maybe, 1 server on west and 1 server on east, but they must serve the same thing with the same domain and share the same database.. [08:19] lxyu: load balancing. Sounds like on AWS. [08:19] am I the only one who thinks that seahorse/gnome-keyring is annoying? Does everyone uses it? Cna I disable it? [08:20] somsip: aws is surely the 'best', but sadly it's not so accessiable in my country. [08:21] lxyu: ok - my bad guess.

[08:22] (my shirt isn't ironed today) [08:22] hi. i need some advice about wine and its compatibility with MS Office [08:22] somsip: I previously thought load balancing is to balance loads between different servers in the same room, but I'll google to see that. [08:23] lxyu: Hopefully you'll find something useful, but depending on the nature of the site, you may have some research to do [08:23] Is Jokosher a substitute for GarageBand ?

Why and how to fix? [08:30] hi [08:30] Amdpc: You might take a look into ardour [08:30] recently i installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my new laptop (Toshiba C660-264) [08:31] At regular base Xorg crashes on me [08:31] Amdpc: and hydrogen and other programs using jack [08:31] i paste a copy op Xorg.0.log at http://paste.ubuntu.com/721378/ [08:31] I followed powertop's suggestion to enable USB suspend and now all my USB stopped working. Any fix for that? [08:32] soreau : Let me see...And what is jack ? [08:32] when Xorg crashes the machine is still reachable through ssh [08:32] so i can shutdown my laptop normally [08:33] i'm also not able to kill Xorg [08:34] Amdpc: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JACK_Audio_Connection_Kit [08:34] Amdpc: It's a pretty cool piece of software. Start by installing qjackctl [08:35] Amdpc: There are also channels here on freenode, #ardour and #jack [08:36] How can I find out whether usbcore is build into the kernel? (I use stock Natty kernel) [08:36] soreau: is there any way to enable line in playback in ubuntu ? [08:36] Ubuntu 11.10 will not save my brightness setting between sessions. Why and how to fix? [08:37] s0nee: What do you mean? [08:38] soreau : And what for video editing ? [08:38] for example plug a guitar in and listen through line out (head phones) ? [08:38] Amdpc: For video editing there's avidemux and others.. pitivi is the default in ubuntu [08:38] s0nee: sure [08:38] s0nee: Have you tried alsamixer? (arrow keys to navigate, 'm' to (un)mute channels) [08:39] soreau: ok i'll try it [08:39] soreau : Which is the stablest one and can be used for chroma keying ?? [08:40] Amdpc: Not sure what chroma keying is. Each one has it's strengths and weaknesses [08:40] I'm having trouble booting. I'm getting timeouts when trying to boot when dmraid-activate runs. None of these timeouts occur when I run the commands from a live CD. I do get an error "ERROR: pdc: reading/dev/sdb[No such file or directory]" from dmraid but it's non-fatal. Disk works (no unmarked bad blocks; can mount on live CD). [08:40] Anyone have any ideas, or know where I can go for help? [08:40] how do I move an application window to another workspace in unity 11.10? [08:40] Guys, has anyone used the arc touch mouse from M$? I'm looking for a mouse with a soft middle-click and I this one looks like really good.. === JoFo__ is now known as JoFo [08:41] is there a shortcut or something? [08:41] DarsVaeda: open the workspace switcher, drag window to new workspace [08:41] Amdpc: Might use a reference like this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_editing_software and check what's provided in ubuntu repositories [08:41] soreau : Chroma keying means Green Background remover..! [08:42] Amdpc: Oh yea, some do that I'm sure [08:42] I'm looking more for a shortcut [08:44] How do I view my computer specs in Ubuntu? Like how much ram, cpu power, gfx card etc? [08:44] lol now its totally fucked up... [08:44] DarsVaeda: tone down the language please.

(11.04) [08:46] hmm. 11.04 i'm not sure. what interface? [08:46] gnome [08:47] one moment [08:47] MeganLWoulffe: K, thanks [08:47] I finally got hibernation to work on my newly installed oneiric. Problem is that when I try to resume from that hibernation things stop :(. Status messages during boot/loading say that the image has been loaded. No error message. But after that nothing happens. (Unless I have to wait for some obscene amount of time..) Anyone with a clue as to why this happens? [08:47] hi. i'm using ubuntu 11.10. is it possible to make alt-tab window swichting lokal to current desktop? [08:48] soreau: i tried different options but still no sound. any ideas ? [08:48] Hi, I am using Update Manager to install updates, but there is 2 lib-like packages not found on the source server, and it would't install those software not related to the missing packages. How to install them? [08:48] s0nee: Well if you don't have a pre-amp (like an effects pedal) then you might need to plug it into the microphone jack [08:49] s0nee: line-in is typically unamplified [08:49] yeah [08:49] soreau: im routing from an amp [08:50] warm: did you try doing a "sudo apt-get -f install"? [08:50] s0nee: The other obvious issue is making sure the connections are physically and electrically sound [08:50] Hey... I installed Ubuntu 10.04 server onto a lenovo ideapad... now, when I try to boot the system, it doesn't go beyond the bios splash screen, it reboots instantly. Any idea why that may be? [08:50] well it also depends on what you are doing [08:51] another question/problem :( when I move over the left panel thing, I get an orange like overlay that takes up half of the window, what is that? [08:51] gucki, it doesn't work either [08:51] s0nee: Also make sure you're selecting the right audio device in alsamixer with F6 [08:51] Does anyone knows about VLMC ? [08:52] ! anyone | Amdpc [08:52] Amdpc: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [08:52] !vlmc [08:52] soreau: im pretty sure that line in and out are fine. also im using the correct sound card (f6) [08:52] gucki, I mean to install those already downloaded packages. almost 90 [08:52] some of the windows in ubuntu are always too big for my netbook screen, like the firefox save file dialog, how can i fix it ? [08:52] DarsVaeda: when you do that and release, it does like in win7 to maximize that window to half the screen [08:52] but it is stuck there on all workspaces [08:53] odd. that I don't know [08:53] megan! [08:53] I want to Install VLMC on ubuntu 10.10..Any ideas ? [08:53] so far i ve come up with 'maximus' witch makes everything fullscreen, but it's sometimes anoying for some programs [08:53] s0nee: It should work then. Do any of the other input jacks work? mic? [08:53] soreau: any other options ? i tried jack before but it had too much noise [08:54] Amdpc: http://www.videolan.org/vlmc/ [08:54] What, Cent? [08:54] soreau: i tried both front and rear [08:54] nevermind.. i thought you might be angry [08:55] s0nee: It largely depends on your audio hardware and where the hardware lives in your machine. For example, having a PCI audio card too close to the video card or other hardware could have crosstalk/noise [08:55] s0nee: If it's an on-board audio chip, there's not a whole lot you can do to move it obviously [08:56] s0nee: Ideally, you'd have a decent PCI card installed in the furthest PCI slot on the mobo [08:56] soreau: i do know that. it worked on windows with almost no noise so i believe i can get it work on ubuntu [08:57] s0nee: Another factor could be pulseaudio [08:57] found the answer to my question here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/67946/how-force-alt-tab-programs-swicher-to-display-only-active-desktop-applications :-) [08:57] Hi, got some small question. Want to run a javaws jnlp file. It runs fine, but then I get a security warning popup. Nothing important, but I'm unable to click on 'Run' [08:57] It just doesn't respond to anything :(§ [09:01] So can't anyone tell me why Ubuntu Server 10.04.3 would just endlessly reboot from the bios splash screen? [09:02] soreau: thanks though [09:03] private_meta, it isn't even able to get past BIOS screen? ... sounds like hardware failure. [09:03] s0nee: jack seems to offer the most control for me but line-in should work [09:04] rumpe1: well, i'm not entirely sure if it's going beyond the screen. I have the boot splash, it tries to load the operating system, fails reboots [09:05] rumpe1: but, it's been the same on two distinct different computers [09:05] private_meta, if it tries to load a operating system, then maybe you are trying to boot from the wrong device, grub-bootsector is missing or grub itself points to something invalid. [09:05] I had this a couple of days ago, thought it to be a hardware failure, and got the device switched [09:06] Ubuntu 11.10 will not save my brightness setting between sessions. Why and how to fix? [09:06] has the same problem on the new device [09:07] private_meta, try to boot from a recovery medium / live-medium and repair grub [09:07] rumpe1: did that the last time, didn't help [09:08] any idea's ? [09:09] dupondje: lots of ideas, but waht are we talking about specifically? [09:09] what even [09:10] hey guys... we have a log folder where log files will be generated using rotatingfilehandler.. these files should be writeable by 2 users, so i have created a group and added those users to it and assigned g+rw permissions to dir.. however if user a creates a file user b is not able to write to it.. any suggesstion on how to achive this [09:10] pyarun: can't you put user a in two groups, a_only, and a_and_b? [09:11] SunTsu: got some small question. Want to run a javaws jnlp file. It runs fine, but then I get a security warning popup. Nothing important, but I'm unable to click on 'Run' [09:12] pyarun: set sgid on that folder [09:12] danikov: how will it help, i have done the same..created a new group and added that group as secondary for those users [09:12] rumpe1: reinstalled grub again, did no thelp [09:12] llutz: you mean like q+s [09:13] pyarun: g+s [09:13] I run Unity on 11.10. I want to make a link in my launcher for a custom application. It's an executeable. Is that possible? [09:13] llutz: yes.i will try that too [09:13] pyarun: chgrp it to the group, both users are in [09:13] Hm. For some reason, flash doesn't work in google-chrome (black areas where they should be), but it works in firefox :) [09:14] private_meta, well... if grub isn't the problem, then bios or hardware is. [09:14] rumpe1: I got the hardware replaced already [09:14] rumpe1: same problem on two different machines [09:16] private_meta, then grub could be incompatible (not very likely) or you just made mistakes while recovering grub from live media [09:16] rumpe1: I did it according to the ubuntu help page on reinstalling grub [09:17] according to Lenovo, the device should be able to run linux with no problem [09:17] private_meta, well... it's pretty common for users who are unfamiliar with grub or grub-recovery that they make mistakes while following such tutorials. [09:18] llutz: it doesnt help..when a file is created by user A permissions for file are -rw-r--r--, it is not inheriting the permissions of the dir [09:18] rumpe1: mistakes once, yes, mistakes twice, maybe, mistakes 5 or more times when reading the tutorial very clearly, sounds a bit unlikely [09:18] private_meta: that's only what they say.. [09:19] I've also read reports on the internet of people installing it [09:19] pyarun: you's have to change umask to 0002 too [09:19] googled it just a minute ago [09:19] llutz: umask for dir?? [09:20] private_meta, when you understand every step of the process, then yes, it should be unlikely. But we ruled out any other cause for the problem as far as i know. [09:21] What does libunity-4.0.4 fix? [09:21] I pretty much understand the grub reinstall process, at least I think I do [09:21] Ubuntu 11.10 will not save my brightness setting between sessions. Why and how to fix? [09:21] pyarun: would be nice, unfortunately there is afaik no way to do that dir-wise. you'd have to change it systemwide [09:21] or "user-specific" at least [09:22] I also have issues with brightness on 11.10 on my laptop [09:22] llutz: i am not sure abt the consequense of doing that.. i am afraid [09:22] Has that been addressed yet? [09:22] pyarun: maybe it can be done using ACLs [09:23] oh yeah... There are different shells i can use for recovery, one of them being ash from busybox, but it doesn't have the bind option (-B) for mount. Does it make a difference for this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot ? [09:24] llutz: could he use setfacl and access control lists? [09:24] wonder if theres a fuse fs way to do the unasks per dir. [09:24] danikov: [11:22:36] pyarun: maybe it can be done using ACLs === pepi4 is now known as cherva [09:24] llutz: thinking along the same lines I guess ;) [09:25] what will happen if I apt-get wireshark on ubuntu server with no X and try to X forward it ?

[09:26] cherva: it will pull xorg-common and some more stuff and work [09:26] llutz: i will try [09:26] pyarun: fs has to be mounted with acl active [09:27] llutz: fs means file system?? [09:27] pyarun: yes [09:27] llutz, thanks I saw the deps [09:28] pyarun: add "acl" to the mount-options [09:28] hey! [09:29] Why do some people install grub legacy instead of grub2? [09:29] llutz: i am really new to linux nd not everything you are saying, i am reading abt setfacl.. dont know hwat is mount options [09:29] private_meta: because grub2 is a mess? [09:30] pyarun: sorry. look at your /etc/fstab to check what options are used to mount the filesystem holding your folder (/ most likely) [09:30] hi , I dont khow if I should ask this here , but on gmail I can't attach any files that have non-english characters on it , for example Image.jpg attach fine , but imáge.jpg wont let me ... [09:30] any of you know anything about this? [09:30] pyarun: then add "acl" to the mount-options (the part before "0 1") [09:31] pyarun: for a test you could just do: sudo mount --remount -o acl / [09:33] is there a fix for this -- E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks [09:33] natty === angga is now known as ngomongopo [09:35] Ubuntu 11.10 will not save my brightness setting between sessions.

[10:04] GeorgeJ: I have only tried Ubuntu with unetbootin, dd and lili. Those 3 work, so use one of them [10:04] I have no linux machine around atm, so I'm forced to create the usb drive from within Windows [10:05] GeorgeJ: Then use LiLi or unetbootin [10:05] hello. I'm using xsane to scan a document (text only), is there a program that would (semi)automatically improve its quality? something like camscanner for android [10:05] theadmin: I read there are several people having the exact same problems for different versions of ubuntu(mainly on acer and toshiba laptops though) [10:05] theadmin: I'll give it a shot [10:05] GeorgeJ: k [10:07] llutz: apt-get install lubuntu-desktop [10:08] when ubutun upades the libraries and programs ,, where does it keeps the log?

I have the proprietary nvidia driver, and it occurs almost always when there is lots happening on the screen [10:27] does anyone know how I can debug this / fix this (it did not occur in 11.04) [10:27] are there any options in the latest gnome to change the Window Management or is it stuck with stupid on a more permanent basis? [10:28] Ubuntu 11.04 is not booting properly. It gets stuck while the Ubuntu startup splash screen is showing [10:28] d_derbenev: There we go [10:28] =( [10:29] didn't fix it [10:29] hi everybody =) i,m a newbie [10:30] Krenair: i had EXACTLY the same issue.. I installed 11.10 off a usb stick and it worked fine. Only way i could get around it [10:30] ls [10:30] Krenair: if you can, try "older versions" on your boot menu, if you have it.. [10:30] scuse me [10:30] so you can recover.. best way [10:31] I can't reboot\restart\turn off my Acer HAPPY 2 netbook [10:31] i am under lubuntu, with lxde, and i don't can make a menu with menumaker, why ? [10:31] d_derbenev: hold the power button for 3sec.. it will hard power off. [10:31] or wahtever the default time is.. my asus mantop is 3sec [10:32] i don't want hard poweroff [10:32] i wanna do this using simple interface method === dino_ is now known as barnee [10:33] please help me, maybe you know some scripts or commands to set up a normal power managing [10:34] d_derbenev forgot to notice that shutdown via "sudo halt" or "sudo poweroff" works, but nothing else does [10:34] theadmin: yes, sorry, i forgot [10:35] but restart & sleep mode don't work [10:35] please ! [10:36] is there a p2p chat program with encryption? does such thign exist? [10:36] how have an openbox menu in lubuntu ? [10:36] im curious [10:36] share: Anything which supports a protocol which supports SSL... [10:37] theadmin: yes but I need the name of such application [10:37] share: Protocols? Basically anything supports it now, MSN, Yahoo!, Jabber (duh!) (also known as Gtalk or Facebook Chat or XMPP)... [10:38] anybody home??? help me [10:38] theadmin: those are not p2p [10:38] . [10:38] share: Oh... [10:38] share: I do see what you mean, sorry [10:38] !patience | d_derbenev [10:38] d_derbenev: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [10:39] theadmin: I want an alternative to those evil chats. [10:39] share: XMPP is not evil, it's an open protocol ^_^ [10:39] share, quite a few of those are p2p, at least that i know of [10:40] zhaozhou: In this case, p2p means without a centralized server, none of the aforementioned match this requirement [10:40] share, XMPP at least, is p2p, and it supports encryption. It's decentralized and open source. [10:40] why do I need a server (MSN, Facebook, etc) to talk with someone [10:40] share, connections cannot be made without a listening server [10:40] just want something like DCC Chat but p2p [10:40] zhaozhou: Well, XMPP still requires at least some server (jabber.org, gmail.com, jabbim.com etc) [10:40] well, i know that i can make my netbook to hibernate - but this is something unusual === vibhav_ is now known as vibhav [10:41] theadmin, any tcp or udp protocol requires a server [10:41] Quan-Time, didn't work [10:41] zhaozhou: True enough, yes, and therefore this question doesn't really make any sense [10:41] Hi guys. One question. Is is possible to have hardware acceleration with an Intel Card? [10:41] zhaozhou: I setup the chat server in my machine open the port and give the IP address to the person I want to chat with. this is what I have in mind [10:42] share: Setup ejabberd, then [10:42] share, doesn't netcat support ssl? [10:42] share: And let users register on your server [10:42] dbugger: yes, i think [10:42] zhaozhou: I want to be able to chat with someone that uses Windows or Mac [10:43] dbugger is this an intel card that is on a netbook by anychance ? [10:43] dbugger: I beleive so, because certain hamsters like d_derbenev even managed to get Compiz, Gnome-Shell and Unity working with those soooo... [10:43] dbugger: you may use CPUFREQ - some intel cards can accelerate by using some programms... [10:43] share, how simple would you like this chat protocol to be? [10:44] zhaozhou: very simple but with both text and file transfering [10:44] So my Ubuntu 11.04 install isn't booting. It gets stuck during the startup splash screen [10:45] share, You could always have your win/mac friend install "Logmein" then with their permission and a password from them, you can remote (from your ubuntu web browser) and type in their notepad. I've done that myself. [10:45] d_derbenev, Sly2 , theadmin, Im aiming at getting WebGL working. [10:45] Sly2, no netbook. Im on a desktop computer. [10:46] share, right, okay... then I don't have any suggestions for you, unfortunately. [10:46] d_derbenev, I have no idea what that is. Could you give me more details, please? [10:47] zhaozhou: I am surprise that one cares about this. People use Messenger and they seem to forget that every conversation can be intercepted and logged [10:47] surprised [10:47] dbugger: "sudo apt-get install cpufreq" - it will install this programm, but i'm not sure that it can help if you're using mobile hardware [10:47] share, didn't they implement ssl a few versions ago? [10:47] share: you could use the chat plugin from (bittorent client-forgot the name of it ) zune? zun? [10:47] d_derbenev, im not on a laptop [10:48] zhaozhou: MSN traffic is not encrypted [10:48] zhaozhou: Wireshark proves it [10:48] hi, may I ask for a problem due to ubuntu 11? [10:48] share, right, then that's just bad rumor then [10:48] great share, share. [10:48] dbugger: so, you've 50\50 chance that it'll work =) [10:48] i'll try that [10:48] d_derbenev, theres no "cpufreq". I guess you mean "cpufreqd"? [10:48] nyeheh [10:48] So my Ubuntu 11.04 install isn't booting. It gets stuck during the startup splash screen [10:48] Krenair: Can you press the Esc key and tell us if you see any errors? [10:49] hi, I'd like to know how to disable the guest login in ubuntu 11.10 [10:49] frixion: oh, maybe yes. Try to install cpufreqd, i guess [10:49] share: set your chat client to proxy thru TOR [10:49] share, why not use XMPP though? [10:49] zhaozhou: IRC is much more secure and private than MSN mark my words [10:49] zhaozhou: I dont know that :p [10:49] Krenair, Did you Md5sum the ISO, prior to burning the CD at the slowest speed? [10:49] share, I am aware. [10:50] almoxarife: Tor is to hide the source not to encrypt.. Exit node can sniff all the traffic. === oleg is now known as Guest44248 [10:50] it's dangerous. [10:50] d_derbenev: no, no, about MSN's connection being unencrypted [10:50] * Sidewinder1 Thinks Tor is over-rated. [10:50] anyway, [10:50] !ot | share [10:50] share: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [10:50] share: so use pidgin with encryption over tor === babilen is now known as Guest6667 [10:51] share, you can setup a private XMPP server, add your own users easily, if i'm not mistaken you can create your own public key pair and use that. Protocol is open source so you get to choose client yourself. [10:52] almoxarife: you are not listening. lol I am not worried with the source I am worried with encryption, all I want is to make a p2p connection with the person I want to chat it and encrypt it so no one Tor, VPN, ISP can intercept it. It's simple. [10:52] share, if you are chatting with a knowledgeable computer user you could create ncat ssl server, it's in the nmap package, and your friend can just connect to that server and chat. You'd have to open up a second port for file sharing, but it's still simple and most of all cool. [10:53] hi [10:53] zhaozhou: may I PM you, this is offtopic [10:53] share, pidgin actually has a plugin to encrypt traffic via any protocol, including msn [10:53] share, go ahead [10:53] share: so get this, pidgin has encryption [10:54] almoxarife: but I still use MSN's servers.. [10:54] dont you get it [10:54] can't load .so/.DLL for: stdc++ (libstdc++.so: ...) not sure which package to install for this.. [10:54] theadmin: no errors. [10:55] using failsafe X through recovery mode works [10:55] Krenair: Oh, strange [10:55] hi [10:55] Krenair, Did you Md5sum the ISO, prior to burning the CD at the slowest speed? [10:55] i've got a question about udev local rules in oneiric [10:55] Sidewinder1, no [10:55] I'm not using the CD anymore [10:55] does anyone got problem with that since oneiric upgrade ? === babilen_ is now known as Guest21169 [10:56] It's an install that was working for a long time until yesterday [10:56] Krenair, OIC. [10:56] Then this started happening, and it randomly stopped [10:56] o due it is a disaster [10:56] do not upgrade === Guest21169 is now known as babilen [10:58] stianhj: compiling from source? [10:58] Krenair, What did you do, change, add? [10:58] Sidewinder1, modified my swap partition size [10:58] it worked for a couple of boots [10:58] then broke [10:58] then worked once, and broke again [10:59] Krenair, That certainly shouldn't cause what you're describing.. [10:59] * Sidewinder1 Scratches his head. [10:59] Is there any utility that can move partitions faster? I'm trying to move a NTFS partition with gparted, and it seems to want to move the blank space aswell [11:00] Krenair: how old is the machine? [11:00] got it around May 2010 [11:00] so i have a local udev rules to assign an externa usb disk to /media/data and this work great since many years [11:00] but since oneiric upgrade it throw me an error at every boot [11:00] Krenair, Did you try a "Memtest? [11:00] Krenair: looked at the logs? [11:01] like if check disk couldn't find this disk [11:01] almoxarife, what logs? [11:01] Sidewinder1, not yet === Logan_ is now known as Guest1597 [11:01] GeorgeJ: "moving" partitions takes forever, there really is no fast way to do it... [11:01] Krenair: system logs [11:01] Krenair, And what almoxarife Said. [11:01] nope, haven't been to look at any logs [11:01] KM0201: Is this because of fragmentation? [11:02] Krenair: I would [11:02] i've gotta run. thanks anyway. hopefully this'll just fix itself again [11:02] yeah, fix itself, magic [11:02] GeorgeJ: it's because of a lot of things, 1. it has to allocate and check thespace before the move, 2. it has to actually move the data, bit for bit, to the new partition. [11:02] GeorgeJ: potential hack- resize it to minimise space, then move, then resize it back up [11:02] I'm not sure if that'd be any faster though [11:03] danikov: somehow i doubt it would. [11:03] hello. I have two unmounted partition (used by windows) how I can hide them from nautilus? Ubuntu 11.10, gnome-shell. Thank you. [11:03] KM0201: if you were moving over a 56k modem, it would :D [11:03] ghabit: if they are unmounted then they are hid from nautilus [11:03] danikov: i'm not sure why you'd partition a drive over a 56k modem [11:04] Can you help me with a problem of netbook power managing? [11:04] almoxarife, but they are not. [11:04] honestly, the best thing to do in a situation like this (and what i have done)... backup, do a complete restore, let windows take the whole OS, then resize the partition how you want it, and reinstall linux [11:04] That's what I initialy thought. Resize the partition to the size of the used space, and then move it. But, then I asked myself if I would lose data when downsizing NTFS partitions(because of fragmentation) [11:04] d_derbenev: we dont know until we see the real question [11:04] you'll probably have less time in it, rather than trying to "move" partitions [11:04] ghabit: they can be seen, they are mounted [11:05] I can't normally turn off\restart\switch to sleep mode my netbook [11:05] iceroot: what have I to say? [11:05] d_derbenev: what does "normaly" and "cant" mean? please use usefull details in your questions [11:05] GeorgeJ, Just defrag. at least twice, prior to resizing NTFS/fat32 partitions. [11:05] ghabit, you probably have to put their mount point somewhere else but in /media via fstab [11:06] ghabit: should be able to unmount at root level with disk utility [11:06] Sidewinder1: How could I do that within linux? [11:06] Does anybody know of an extensive guide to OpenVPN ... I wish to setup OpenVPN on an Ubuntu Server ....which I have done before, but this time I have requests that a considerable more complicated than a standard setup ? [11:06] !vpn | coraxx [11:06] coraxx: For more information on vpn please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN [11:06] "GParted can resize an NTFS partition safely regardless of its state of fragmentation" [11:07] so you don't need to defrag, just resize away [11:07] GeorgeJ, Not sure if you can do it from *nix; just boot into win and defrag from there. [11:07] Awesome! tyvm! [11:07] iceroot: so when i tried to, for example, turn it off, OS closed at all, but power didn't turn off - my netbook worked with black screen! [11:07] :D [11:07] it's possible to precise a out file for menumaker ? [11:08] iceroot: well, when i use sudo poweroff\sudo halt it works [11:09] iceroot: uhmm...that is the client-side setup of OpenVPN .... I'm interested in the server-side ...for an example how to attach a virtual network to a network-bridge, that runs inside a virtual-machine and is therefore using a virtual-netcard adapter ? [11:09] d_derbenev: and what is the case when it is not working? [11:09] d_derbenev: the power button is set to 'suspend'?? [11:09] coraxx: #openvpn or use alis [11:09] iceroot: ok thanx :-) [11:09] !alis | coraxx [11:09] coraxx: 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* [11:09] iceroot: Shutdown via GUI (dbus) and "sudo reboot" aren't working for d_derbenev [11:09] i've setted it to "do nothing" (xubuntu 11.10) [11:10] Hi, how can I install a package from source with custom configuration? I want to try GTK with the broadway backend. [11:10] theadmin: he said on the shell its working [11:10] iceroot: Only "halt" and "poweroff", not "reboot" somehow [11:10] d_derbenev: before theadmin is telling me the whole story, what commandas are working, what commands are not working [11:11] d_derbenev: is that even possible? the power button? [11:11] almoxarife: yes [11:12] Hello, how can I disable guest-session in ubuntu 11.10 ? [11:12] fliebel: take the source-package, patch it, rebuild it, install it [11:12] fliebel: if you mean to change configuration at installation-step [11:12] sorry, i'm not strong in the language to explain all [11:13] d_derbenev: sudo reboot is not working? but sudo halt is working? [11:13] iceroot: Yes, that's the case [11:13] d_derbenev: sudo shutdown -r now is not working? [11:13] iceroot: How? I need to put --enablde-broadway-backedn to configure [11:13] iceroot: nope, i know that that two coommands work... [11:13] fliebel: debian/rules [11:14] iceroot: Erm, I'm not a package veteran. Is there some wiki I can read about it? [11:14] fliebel: apt-get source packagename then open debian/rules. there are the compile-options [11:15] ah, thanks [11:15] iceroot: yes [11:15] iceroot: i need to restart it [11:15] fliebel: after that (the easy way but not always working) sudo dpkg-buildpackage --rfakeroot [11:16] fliebel: the way always working is using pbuilder [11:16] iceroot: What is the fakeroot for? [11:17] fliebel: for the build-environment but the fakeroot from dpkg-buildpackage is just a fake [11:17] fliebel: but most of the packages can be build with that (but not all results are good packages because build-dependencies are not checked correctly) [11:18] Do you know opensource alternative for "tail in web browser" similar to http://demo.synametrics.com/syntail/app ? [11:18] iceroot: so how can I restart my netbook? Simple restart script is not working [11:18] zimnyx: you want it in a web browser? why? [11:19] iceroot: thanks :) [11:19] d_derbenev: sudo reboot -f, sudo shutdown -r now [11:20] d_derbenev: pressing ctrl + alt + f1 on tty1 [11:21] Howdy all [11:21] d_derbenev: sudo init 6 [11:22] jrib: because it's faster than logging into SSH, running command [11:22] Mornin' Blue [11:23] hey Sidewinder1 [11:23] how do i update from alternate iso ??

[12:13] Sidewinder1: moving files as root or another user (it keeps their permissions) [12:13] brunovilela108, the "-R" means recursive and will perform this action on all subfolders aswell [12:13] dr-willis: ok i will try that [12:14] ok [12:14] brunovilela108, sudo chmod -R 750 [12:14] Gentoo64, So it had nothing to do with gksu instead of gksudo?

[12:16] Sidewinder1: gksudo and gksu are the same thing [12:16] bash basics day today :-) [12:16] permission denied [12:16] brunovilela108: use sudo [12:17] brunovilela108: or do sudo -i then run the command [12:17] then exit [12:17] Gentoo64, So, taking that a step further, there is no difference between su and sudo? [12:17] Sidewinder1: su - will give you a root shell [12:17] Gentoo64: not with ubuntu [12:18] Gentoo64, Sorry for being a pain in the neck. :D [12:18] but ubuntu has no root pass [12:18] so evertythings sudo usually [12:18] Gotcha! And thanx. [12:18] Gentoo64, sudo passwd? :p [12:18] i thought gksu was jusr an alias to save typing. [12:19] PastulioLive: yeah but they dont support that here [12:19] dr-willis: it is [12:19] i alwas use gksudo [12:19] Sidewinder1: ls -l $(which gksudo) why on ubuntu gksu and gksudo are equal [12:19] dr-willis: theyre both linked to the same thing [12:19] so its not really like comparing su to sudo [12:19] i'm looking for a proxy that supports https to the client.. any ideas? === Furai` is now known as Furai [12:20] brunovilela108, Did it work out ok?

[12:25] ActionParsnip: on some distros you can change the gksu(do) options to use either su or sudo, im guessing ubuntu defaults to sudo and they both do the same thing (gksu and gksudo) [12:25] ActionParsnip: that would mean, gksu won't work since it uses (as su do) roots password [12:25] llutz_: simply quoting the manpage dude [12:25] brunovilela108, that's one file and it's pretty normal you can't change it's permissions [12:25] brunovilela108, the other files should be fine [12:25] DarsVaeda: theres ways to get a gnome2 sort of menu. the webupd8 blog site has info [12:25] ActionParsnip: i know, but things are different on ubuntu [12:26] dr-willis: thanks [12:26] brunovilela108, ls -la /home/nataraja [12:26] Gentoo64: right you are [12:26] dr-willis: what was the comand to reset unity? i reloged acount and forgot the command xD [12:27] kaellan: unity --reset [12:27] brunovilela108, this way you can see if everything changed, permissions should show -rwx-r-xr-x [12:27] kaellan: there is a magic 'history' command ;) [12:27] Hi all ! [12:27] brunovilela108, or permissions should show -rwx-r-x--- depending on what you did [12:27] Can I use ubuntu with a read only / ? [12:27] xerxas: why? i doubt it [12:27] llutz_: I seem to remember ikonia saying something about this to me, its the same command but the interpretter uses it differently as it sees you used the other command [12:28] xerxas: I guess but you would need to have stuff that needs write access like /tmp in another writable partition or ramfs [12:29] bbl [12:29] xerxas: obviously updates will fail too [12:29] dr-willis: tx for help :D [12:29] xerxas: you wont get far at all, probably to a console shell [12:29] how to make my scren not to be "unknown" ?

[12:30] Gentoo64, ActionParsnip , I just need a console and some libs [12:30] GeorgeJ: no way! [12:30] ActionParsnip: on other (not using sudo as root-replacement) distros they do, but on ubuntu they do the same. else gksu wouldn't work at all [12:30] GeorgeJ: youll nuke the drive [12:30] wh1zz0, what remote desktop tool do you use? [12:31] wh1zz0, is it "rdesktop"? [12:31] I want to have several lxc containers , but for security and memory saving , I want it to be read-only [12:31] and also for maintenance [12:31] wh1zz: login via console mode and kill off the sessions using task manager. [12:31] Gentoo64: Argh, I'm at work, and I have got to go home and I need to shut the machine down [12:31] I have already this working with debian [12:31] did an apt-get upgrade recently and now flash, gstreamer and vlc wont work, totem just hangs when trying to play a video for example. [12:31] PastulioLive: Yeah.. Rdesktop [12:31] Evilkiss: last idea, pastebin "ls -l /etc/apt/sources.list.d/" please [12:31] but debian squeeze doesn't have oneiric libs, I mean at least libssl 1.0 [12:31] GeorgeJ: years and years ago i did that, and cancelled after a split second and the whole thing was gone [12:32] GeorgeJ, It's like pressing the "Detonate Button" on a Nuke, you can't go back. Done bun can't be un-done..:-( [12:32] wh1zz0, if it's the linux client causing the troubles: ps -eF | grep rdesktop [12:32] GeorgeJ: can you ssh into it? [12:32] wh1zz0, then kill -9 [12:32] and shut it down from home? [12:32] It's my personal laptop and I've got to take it home, I'm at work right now [12:32] wh1zz0: use rdesktop -0 hostname [12:32] GeorgeJ: leave it on? === progre55_ is now known as progre55 [12:33] wh1zz0: That will connect to the console of the Winblows box.

[12:34] PastulioLive: Sinjet But there is a command to kill it from remote, I just cant find the command for rdeksop [12:34] wh1zz0, I don't know, for running remote commands I just use PsExec.exe on a windows machine [12:34] llutz_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/721500/ [12:35] wh1zz0, but why not try rdekstop -o [12:35] as Sinjet said [12:35] Evilkiss: correct too. no ideas left, sorry [12:35] wh1zz0: rdesktop -0 [12:35] wh1zz0: where -0 is zero [12:35] :) [12:36] Sinjet, oops sry [12:36] Pastuliolive: No worries mate!

(totem, vlc, youtube, audacity, etc) [12:37] Sinjet: I usually connect lie this.. rdesktop -g 85% -u user ... where g is for geometry and u is for user [12:38] wh1zz0: rdeskop -g 85% -0 -u user [12:38] Sinjet: However, to kill, is it -O or -0 .. i.e rdesktop -0 or rdesktop -O .. ? [12:38] Ahhh.. I see [12:38] llutz_: thanks anyway [12:38] wh1zz0: That is the command to connect to the "console" of the Winblows box.

[12:49] gentoo64: emm, someone neded to make it i dont know was nower to find and i spoted some intel turbo thingy durning the update progress :P [12:49] katronixserf: after it, you have to fix /etc/fstab and rewrite grub [12:50] Gentoo64: yes he would [12:50] kaellan: im not sure about that [12:50] llutz ok, so would that still be faster? currently I have just one partition for everything but swap, but looking to divide /home from the rest now [12:50] kaellan: i have always disabled mine [12:51] how to make my laptop monitor not being "unknown" kinda enoying doh it was known in the old ubuntu [12:51] katronixserf: are you going to be using the original / for anything? [12:51] katronixserf: it also takes some time. no idea whats faster, if you haven't done anything except isntallation now, it probably would be easier for you just to reinstall [12:51] gentoo64: its nie to turn a 1,7 quad into a 2,9 dc wen playing games [12:51] Gentoo64, will probably turn it into swap lol [12:53] katronixserf: i was gona say you might as well backup important stuff and make it a big partition and reinstall to that [12:54] <_ramo> hi [12:54] hi [12:55] how can I /list only top 10 channel s with more users? [12:58] katronixserf: See: http://www.feyrer.de/g4u/ & http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php (A couple nice tools to have around, FYI...) [12:58] VictorCL: choose server > list of channels list all [12:58] then click users [13:01] oi [13:01] katronixserf: YOu can just resize the partitions you have. [13:02] why that yours ubuntu doesn't see my diskette? [13:02] hhul: Maybe a hardware issue? [13:03] no, it's 100% ubuntu issue [13:03] usr13, oddly enough gparted wont let me resize [13:03] hhul: why do you need a floppy? [13:03] .history [13:03] katronixserf: Do it from liveCD: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php [13:03] Gentoo64, she's like having my files? [13:03] hhul: What is your hardware. [13:03] hhul: english? [13:03] hhul, ? [13:04] hhul: Oh you are talking about a floppy drive? [13:04] <_ramo> how do i create a new group in the console? [13:04] hhul: What is your native language? [13:04] people stopped using flopies in the 90s [13:04] whats flopie? [13:04] usr13, good idea [13:04] kaellan: exactly [13:05] _ramo: groupadd [13:05] <_kad> hey guys, is there any tool i can use to know the model of my laptop? thx [13:05] _ramo: sudo addgrou [13:05] _ramo: sudo addgroup [13:05] _kad: eyesight [13:05] <_ramo> found it [13:05] <_ramo> thanks guys [13:06] .... sorry, couldn't resist [13:06] <_ramo> and how do i add existent users to this group?

[13:07] <_ramo> i'm trying to install subversion like this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Subversion [13:07] usr13: /etc/group /etc/passwd /etc/shadow [13:07] if one has to ask how to add users/groups, he might better use systemtools than direct editing important files [13:07] Is there a compelling reason I should move to 11.10 fro 11.04? [13:08] <_ramo> but if i try to access the project, i always get the following messag: Could not open the requested SVN filesystem [13:08] usr13: there are tools for making changes there (adduser, addgroup, usermod) [13:08] Ycarene: no [13:08] Ycarene: no major ones afaik [13:08] ok [13:08] Ycarene: never touch a running system [13:08] iceroot: Sure there are tools for it, but nothing wrong with doing it yourself. [13:08] good to know [13:08] usr13: its wrong [13:08] hello [13:08] I'm codeca` [13:08] usr13: if you break something there, you have big problems [13:09] iceroot: It's onlhy different, not wrong. [13:09] usr13: you can do it for yourself but please dont suggest that here [13:09] usr13: its ok if you do, but pls don't suggest it to others here [13:09] should I use ubuntu? I come from DOS [13:09] codeca`: stop trolling [13:09] so old [13:09] ok [13:10] sorry :( [13:10] ok [13:10] What is DOS? [13:10] IRsee: An acronym [13:10] IRsee: os from microsoft before windows [13:10] Denial of Service or Disk Operating System? [13:10] IRsee: the second [13:11] IRsee: Which can mean Disk Operating System or Denial Of Service attack [13:11] denial of service [13:11] IRsee: the first would be DoS [13:11] you cant do much on dos [13:11] million people did their work on DOS, some system still running it. [13:11] yeah [13:12] some guy in the windows room was asking for a driver [13:12] no reason at all to use dos. linux is free [13:12] llutz_: Taken in a generic sense, all PCs run it.

[13:13] <_kad> i have other problem when i switch between windows using: alt + tab everything freeze for 2-3 seconds only when i use: unity!! why [13:14] is there a way to run a command by default with a specific ioload (ionice) without using an alias? e.g. cp should always run with a specific ionice-value [13:14] i used DOS years ago [13:14] same [13:14] iceroot: no idea... maybe people in bash might know [13:14] or somewhere [13:14] * amits hi [13:15] Gentoo64: MonkeyDust bash rocks [13:15] Gentoo64: because of not using an alias its not bash related, more of kernel-related [13:15] I only ever had linux. Except for at work. [13:15] Gentoo64: should of course work also with zsh [13:15] iceroot: i doubt it youd prob have to rewrite something [13:16] but im really not sure [13:16] IRsee: linux came 10 yrs too late, so we did have to use something else :) [13:16] Some of us should wander on over to #ubuntu-offtopic === rad4Christ_ is now known as rad4Christ [13:16] Gentoo64, linux is free, but I lost 2 hours trying to read files from my diskette [13:16] i am not sure also, best would be all io-operations not running by root should lower the load on io [13:17] hi, can someone help me? ubuntu has been freezing without a reason since i installed it (i have an i5core, 2gb ddr3, 1terra hd, 4gb of swap) [13:17] llutz_: unix [13:17] hhul: it probably takes about 2 hours to write anyway [13:17] NoLockInYet [13:17] hm but was there a free unix at that time? hm [13:17] iceroot: nope [13:17] LuiCal:which version do you install? [13:18] 11.10 [13:19] LuiCal: What can you see on your screen?

[13:21] I'm seeing strange behavior from my xfce desktop. I strarted out with stock 11.10, uninstalled gnome-desktop, installed xubuntu-desktop.

[13:29] can i do a mem test from an usb? [13:29] LuiCal: yes [13:29] do i have to restart?

I am trying to change the app that will open php files, but the problem is the app I want to use does not show in "Other application" in nautilus how can I add it === james is now known as Guest46773 [13:44] Does anyone know if the hibernate issue (issue where the system fails to hibernate but rather screen turns blank and two lights start flashing - caps lock and num lock icons) has been solved in ubuntu oneiric? I have not upgraded from natty because I am not sure if I will lose my settings and/or if my current theme would be compatible. I'm being weiry of any system corruption === Guest46773 is now known as blitzkrieg3 [13:45] jim_ec2: Looks like the package was removed from debian for being unmaintained and then subsequently from Ubuntu.

[13:47] so how do I disable the auto hide in oneiric? [13:47] jim_ec2: there are a few replacement suggestions in the debbugs thread.

[14:10] sandman: for people who use unity: yes [14:10] Hi [14:10] I heard there was a way to make Ubuntu look like Mac OSX [14:10] Anyone know something about this? [14:10] sandman: in my view, it's not something you want to do [14:11] sandman: the tools that do it are known to cause issues potentially [14:11] the package that provides them is sloppy [14:11] manually doing is a big headache [14:11] hi, im here again,the mem test is ok [14:11] LuiCal: how long did you run memtest for ? [14:11] LuiCal, how many passes did you run? [14:11] Well. I like everything about Ubuntu, except the fact that the Unity bar or whatever you call it is on the left. [14:11] 2 passes [14:11] Which is terribly, terribly annoying. [14:11] sandman: and autohides. [14:11] Should be @ the bottom [14:11] I know [14:11] better than nothing [14:12] sandman: you can disable the autohide with compiz-settings-manager [14:12] is that ok? [14:12] I think I mostly just want it @ the bottom [14:12] LuiCal: you need to let it run for hours, 12 hour or so at least to get a good idea of memory stability [14:12] I lose too much screen real-estate with it on the left. [14:13] but really i dont think the memory is the problem, ive been running windows quite stable for years === joo is now known as Guest4172 [14:13] LuiCal: that isn't a valid test [14:14] LuiCal: that means nothing. run memtest for a weekend and see [14:14] with lots of heavy softwares [14:14] LuiCal: again, not a valid test [14:14] LuiCal: "windows quite stable for years" - you have never had to reboot? [14:14] nope [14:14] running lots of heavy softwares (music production) [14:15] I've quite a weird problem... I cant unlock my screen anymore on the graphical login... login at the tty1 is no problem, but my password keeps on being wrong according to the unlock screen... i'm 100% sure its the right password and with all possible keyboard layouts I have it still doesnt work... [14:16] I am having a ram issue, I have been working with the kind folks in ##hardware, and at this point am stumped, is there a free linux based automated test ISO I can download and test my processor to see if the memory controllor is working properly? [14:16] Snicksie: change your password to something stupid like aaaaaa to troubleshoot maybe? [14:17] Snicksie: make sure you don't have remote logins enabled of course [14:17] How can I reset my graphics display drivers to default, the desktop wont show right, all I get is a black bar at the top [14:17] christopherwortm: try memtest [14:17] Snicksie: also try gdm instead of lightdm to see if you get different results [14:17] choman: memtest only tests the ram [14:17] this happen after I install those stupid ATI drivers god they suck [14:17] Hey [14:17] i'm using the normal gdm, but i need to unlock my screen... have some files open I cant just close :p [14:17] I need something a little more sophisticated, lets just say I tried all the normal routes [14:17] QUESTION - I'm using an Nvidia graphics card with HDMI out on my HTPC. It serves audio and video. At first, audio did not work. I went into my sound preferences and selected the hardware tab. Underneath that by "Profile" I had several options. Four of the options were something related to "HDMI Audio nr 1". There was also nr 2, nr 3, nr 4. Sure enough, nr 4 worked. But - why? What ARE these choices and how do they differ from one a [14:18] Christopherwortm, it tests the ram and the cpu and the motherboard - its all a system [14:18] Ugh I hate winblows [14:18] Christopherwortm, are you crashing? [14:18] Snicksie: wait is this logging in when you first boot or something else? [14:18] Snicksie, You r not able to login... means after you enter the password.. nothing happens..it does not tell you that you entered wrong password [14:18] sorry, but where is the best channel/server to ask about bat-scripting (windows stuff). unfortunately I have to make one. [14:18] no it just isnt registering 2 of my 6 gigs of ram [14:18] soccermitchy: u dont need to hate it, u only need to use Linux [14:18] it shows up in memtest [14:18] but only tests 4 gig [14:18] I can see all 6 in the list [14:18] soccermitchy: that's nice dear, do you have a support question? [14:19] but it only tests 4 of it [14:19] the ram is fine I tested it all in another system [14:19] nick [14:19] -32bit OS will only see 3.5GB RAM [14:19] no\ [14:19] *no [14:19] 64bit OS will see it all [14:19] *No... [14:19] Christopherwortm, could be the motherboard - many have limits in how you can add memory and what kinds. You are using a 64 bit OS? [14:19] Just lurking [14:20] obviously lets just assume I tried quite literally every normal route [14:20] christopherwortm: what rattus|big said. you'll need a 64bit version of memtest [14:20] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11402814#post11402814 [14:20] save yourselves some time [14:20] I'm already booted, I have been logged in in my laptop but I need to unlock my screen...

[15:44] mneptok: the one the ubuntu installation created [15:44] Hey just wanted to tell you guys that when i replaced ubuntu 11.10 with xubuntu 11.10 all problems went away :) [15:44] Rinni, use /mnt [15:44] anwa: is it mounted at /boot/efi under Linux?

[15:46] mneptok: /dev/sda1 24M 129K 24M 1% /boot/efi [15:46] mneptok: its way smaller then what you recommended [15:46] Rinni, if its already mounting why are you using fstab? [15:46] anwa: then that is where the Windows EFI bootstub needs to go. /boot/efi/efi/boot [15:46] Rinni, try mkdir /mnt/files and mount to that, media is used for the normal mounting afaik [15:47] mneptok: now you lost me :/ [15:47] like nautilus mounts etc [15:47] gentoo64, its not mounted by default but when you click on the entry it mounts it for you, I wanted it to just be mounted with me having to click on anything [15:47] anwa: ls -l /boot/efi/EFI/boot [15:47] Rinni, try it in /mnt instead see if it works [15:47] mneptok: does not exist [15:47] Gentoo64, k I'll try that. [15:48] hello, how come the backlight doesn't turn off after screen fades and locks? [15:48] anwa: you'll see a stub file in there for GRUB and Linux, but nothing for Windows. a Windows stub has to go there as well, IIRC. [15:48] Anyone feel like guiding me to install music on console? [15:48] anwa: ls -Rl /boot/efi/ [15:48] Hi, got a question about unity. Have 2 screens, 1 I want to display linux on, the other should only be a rdp session to a remote computer [15:49] but I can't get rdesktop to fullscreen only on the second screen [15:49] mneptok: I'll pastebin the output, wait a second plz [15:49] it keeps displaying the unity bar. Any idea's on how to solve that ? [15:50] mneptok: http://pastebin.com/yi86wTmp [15:50] I had a failed upgrade to 11.10, so I tried reinstalling the system (without deleting the existing files), but it doesn't seem to have updated the kernel or grub. Can I force it to do so or do I need to do a hard reinstall? [15:51] anyone know why the icons on the top panel always appear at random positions along the panel, regardless of if they are locked to the panel, or not. [15:51] anwa: are you booting via Legacy mode now? or is the BIOS set to UEFI-only? [15:52] mneptok: I think it's set to some mode that would try both if that makes any sense [15:52] anwa: it does (i have an x120e) [15:53] anwa: AMD64 or i686? [15:53] mneptok: amd64 [15:53] mrmcgibby, what kernel is it running? [15:53] Two graphics controllers on PC, Intel Onboard 3100 and GeForce FX 5600 PCI card. The Intel does not show up in "displays", but it DOES show the "Ubuntu" logo on startup. When I remove the PCI card, the Intel works fine. Any ideas?? [15:53] does anyone have an idea why my nautilus looks like this? http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/100/screenshotat20111028175.png/ [15:53] its a brand new installation of 11.10 [15:53] compdoc: 3.0 [15:53] thats the kernel it should have [15:54] I m using gnome-core on ubuntu server 10.04 to provide a virtual desktop for remote admin stuff. I also use webmin. I m trying to make my VPN client connection auto-resume using a few scripts but I seem to have ran into problems since the scripts rely on NetwrokManager which doesnt appear to be managing my network connections using the basic virtual desktop over vnc.

[15:54] mrmcgibby, there was a upgraded kernel released a few days ago - you have to run the update manager to install it [15:54] join #ubuntu-de [15:54] ahh hahaha [15:54] boern: mit / vorne [15:54] ok ;D [15:55] mneptok: http://pastebin.com/uzVYhtBF [15:55] compdoc: The problem is that when I reinstalled I used a 64-bit installer on a system that was running 32-bit, so I need the kernel to be reinstalled [15:55] I want the reinstall to wipe the system and start again [15:55] compdoc: but it doesn't seem to be doing that [15:55] mrmcgibby, it will install the kernel you chose [15:56] are you using a cd? [15:56] compdoc: yeah, it should, but it isn't [15:56] yes [15:56] anwa: OK, so then this: sudo cp /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi /boot/efi/EFI/boot/bootx64.efi [15:56] I still have a bunch of old kernels [15:56] do you have more than one hdd? [15:56] no [15:56] anwa: you may have to "sudo mkdir /boot/efi/EFI/boot" first [15:56] GirlyGirl: gparted didn't find it [15:56] oh, it is leaving the old kernels behind [15:57] Anyone in here been able to sort out the issue with the newest versions of the nvidia drivers and 11.04/11.10, where the kernel oops'es with the following error: 'BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffc90005799000' [15:57] mneptok: should i try rebooting now? [15:57] yeah, I thought it would delete *everything* except for /home and reinstall, but it didn't do that [15:57] tolecnal: is there a bug for that?

[15:58] mneptok: thanks for your help [15:59] compdoc: yes, but I'd like to avoid that [15:59] (sorry to repeat, got kicked) Two graphics cards. Intel onboard 3100 and GeForce FX 5600 PCI card. Intel doesn't show up in "displays" but does show the "Ubuntu" logo on startup. Removing the PCI card causes the Intel to work fine. Any ideas? [15:59] I'm thinking I just manually wipe everything but /home [16:00] the installer might replace your /home with a new one [16:00] maybe rename it [16:00] tolecnal: there is a workaround for that on the bug [16:00] mrmcgibby: youll need to choose the manual partitions option on the installer [16:00] still, its taking a chance [16:00] not sure if that erases home [16:00] tolecnal: last comment, also please add to the bug that it is still affecting you (and name the ubuntu-version there) [16:00] hi alkl [16:00] Does anyone know where to get sun java 6 for 11.10? [16:01] Dougie187: from oracle [16:01] compdos: I do have backups [16:01] I didn't see java 6 on there, only 7... [16:01] how can i make copy of a folder in ubuntu ? [16:01] It's just easier to reinstall with /home already there [16:01] iceroot: in regards to the ld GOLD linker? not installed on my box, and thus can't be the root for my problem [16:01] Dougie187: dont know, ask oracle, its no longer in ubuntu [16:01] cp foldername foldercopyname ? [16:01] trinimoses: cp -r [16:01] k [16:01] tolecnal: i dont know i am not affected by that [16:02] Dougie187: but if it is possible use openjdk instead [16:02] I can't. [16:02] The software I'm trying to use doesn't support openjdk [16:03] iceroot: and what I think is interesting, is that this problem has been reported in ubuntu, debian and centos (and maybe others too), and Nvidia is aware of the problem, but has yet to come out with a patch themselves [16:03] iceroot: so I was kinda hoping someone in here had some pointers I could try out [16:03] it's not like Nvidia is uncommon on machines these days [16:03] Hello there. With the risk of being annoying retard, can someone help me with an ubuntu problem? [16:03] just ask [16:03] just ask your question [16:03] tolecnal: i guess the best is to notice that info on the bug also [16:03] tolecnal: if not already done [16:04] could someone tell me how to remove kernels in the menu at boot? I've 2.6.38s and a couple 3.0.0. I just want the one that I use. [16:04] Saphyy: you were already annoying for using "retard" as a chosen pejorative. [16:04] Hee [16:04] i'm trying to install ubuntu. I downloaded 11.10 live cd and put on a dvd with magiciso. when running the cd i cant boot, it freezes in running command lines [16:04] I'm sorry u feel that way mneptok [16:04] sburwood1, "apt-cache search linux-image" uninstall the ones you don't use/want [16:05] Saphyy: the CD doesn't boot? [16:05] why did I have to upgrade the damned htpc just before the weekend? *shrug* [16:05] Saphyy the iso is a CD image not a DVD image [16:05] zykotick9: Do I need to do it with sudo or not? [16:05] Saphyy: run the "Check media for defects" option when you boot. [16:05] RaTTuS|BIG: it shouldn't matter [16:06] sburwood1, SORRY use "dpkg -l | grep linux-image" to see what YOU have installed! [16:06] I will try that [16:06] mneptok: I was not prompted to choose an OS and choosing the HDD manually just boots ubuntu. Theres also a windows entry in the boot device menu opened with F12 but it's the one of the old invalid efi partition [16:06] sburwood1, neither apt-cache nor dpkg (in these cases) require sudo [16:07] anwa: you will need to consult with a Windows person about how to restire a Windows UEFI bootstub to that SDA1 partition. the .efi file we moved is for Linux, Windows will need one, also. klar? === Spacewalker_ is now known as Spacewalker [16:07] anwa: *restore [16:07] ok so i'm not able to choose any option like that mneptok, is it because i'm using a dvd? [16:07] hi buddies [16:08] Saphyy: try MD5SUMming the .iso you got [16:08] mneptok: I see. would reinstalling windows and then reinstalling grub from the ubuntu live system make any sense? [16:08] i can't do drag and drop by my snaptics [16:08] snaptics? [16:08] mrmcgibby, touchpad [16:08] anwa: Windows always trmapled any other bootloader it found. i don;t know if with UEFI bootstub files it will play more nicely. [16:09] zykotick9: I see only two kernels, but at boot, I have 6, I think [16:09] anwa: IOW, you may get Windows back, but lose the ability to boot Linux. i just do not know. i run 100% Linux on my ThinkPad. [16:09] sburwood1, do you have multiple linux installs? [16:09] zykotick9: It must be said that most of the unneeded kernels are on another partition [16:09] hello, sometimes (for example, when I delete a file in nautilus) the compiz process takes 100% of the CPU, and the computer is totally useless, until I shut it down from an other terminal (Ctrl + Alt + F1), any idea? (happens after 11.10 upgrade) [16:10] guys i am trying to run updates via teh software manager.. but it seems to be stuck on "waiting for service to star" when i click on apply.. any ideas ? [16:10] sburwood1: use the package manager to delete old kernels and their headers. [16:10] trinimoses, click the Details button [16:11] mneptok: I just intalled both systems today so i did not loose any data. I guess i'll just extend my /home partition to what used to be windows and run linux exclusively, too. [16:11] is it waiting for input? [16:11] anwa: a solution i support fully! ausgezeichnet! [16:12] I have an issue with dragging icons from dash to the desktop - which package should I report the bug against? [16:12] zykotick9: I had installed ubuntu 11.04 on one partition, upgraded to 11.10 beta 2, had problems with beta 2, installed 11.04 on this partition, upgraded to 11.10 final release and am having problems removing the kernels from the other partition [16:12] hi [16:12] how to check my current version of gstreamer ?

[16:12] sburwood1, boot into the "other" install, and install the kernels from there [16:12] i am 10.04lts by the way [16:13] hi [16:13] hello, sometimes (for example, when I delete a file in nautilus) the compiz process takes 100% of the CPU, and the computer is totally useless, until I shut it down from an other terminal (Ctrl + Alt + F1), any idea?

You say it could run through the video card, or direct. What does direct mean? Would direct utilize the video card for sound? After all, I'm using HDMI from my video card for sound, so I would think the video card is handling it. That said, I'm just trying to figure out what the differences are between nr 1, etc. [16:34] Badman: mplayer2 i thnk can [16:34] tell me what i can do with [16:34] hi , i just installed ubuntu, i own a ati radeon hd 5770... is it worth to install propiertary drivers?

Bobweaver: with live cd i got to the menus asking me if i want to install or boot live cd, and both options fail [16:35] brin: yeah, its a terminal program, you can only use it from the terminal, but it is the answer to your question [16:35] hi. is the default encryption for ubuntus personal folder any good? [16:35] Badman: not sure why. does it only crash on the 10 bit ones [16:35] Badman: i dont use 10 bit myself and dont know a load about it [16:35] jason_, you have a sound card? Or integrated sound?

[17:48] jason___, did you get it [17:48] ty ok [17:48] phlak_user: it is a zombie [17:48] madoo: so your video driver updates (if there's ever any that come down) will come down through regular system updates since they are free and open source and built in.

[17:52] Sure, sorry I couldn't help. [17:53] jason___, did you undearstand === ezeql is now known as EzeQL [17:53] madoo: it's likely your graphics card is not powerful enough to handle those desktop effects. [17:53] madoo: how old is this computer? [17:53] lion42: Ain't no thang, mang. Is there a reason why you didn't upgrade to 11.10? (are there benefits to keeping an older version- this is the first time I'm using Ubuntu longer than for 2 days) [17:53] Good evening all, is there a way to get Gnome back in 11.10? Unity seems very limited [17:53] wildc4rd: gnome-shell i guess [17:53] !nounity| wildc4rd [17:53] wildc4rd: 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 [17:54] mneptok: sorry I hate it when people try to attack me I will follow conduct [17:54] hewwo, not really going the direction I want it to. Since there's no reason for me to upgrade... [17:54] lion42: right on. I get it. [17:54] Is there a way to restore non text based files that had been removed using the rm command ? [17:54] But most people will enjoy it plenty, so I wouldn't worry about it unless it isn't doing what you need it to. [17:54] jason___, its fujitsu ..laptop neame life book .. pros celeron pintium 4 ram 512 [17:55] madoo: thought so. I thought that 828XX series looked like an older intel graphics card. I hate to say it but I think that system's graphics card is just not powerful enough to handle newer 3d utilities that Ubuntu uses. [17:55] madoo: that's why it has a fallback mode and why it said desktop effects could not be enabled. [17:55] jason___, do you can hellp me to fix [17:55] puntje, if you're using ext2/3/4 you can try to recover deleted inodes using debugfs. [17:56] madoo: that's the thing. I don't think there is a fix. It's just an old graphics card that by design does not have the proper horsepower to handle 3d effects. [17:56] hello gentlemen, please help; installed 11.10, ctrl+backspace does not work at all (delete word left from cursor), where do I fix it? [17:56] question: is there a version of gksudo that pops the dialog in gnome3 style? [17:56] jason___: +1 [17:56] madoo: it's like drag racing with a honda civic against a Corvette. [17:56] jason___, thats whn i try to setup visual effects [17:56] madoo: it's just not feasible. === TheDreamer is now known as Youri [17:57] madoo: right, and again, I don't think there is a FIX. The fix would be to get a more powerful graphics card, which isn't really possible in laptops. [17:57] madoo: the laptop is aged. And that's fine, Linux works great with older hardware. But there's a side of Linux that also utilizes 3d "eye candy" as well, which is what you're trying to do. [17:57] Hm...I wonder in Intel NM10 can handle "effects"... [17:57] if [17:57] madoo: so if you want a functional system, don't worry about 3d effects. If you want 3d effects, get a more powerful laptops.

[17:59] madoo: right. You're trying to do too much with it. Again, you're drag racing with a Honda and wondering why you're not beating Corvettes. It's just not possible. You'll need to use lighter software and lighter desktop environments. That's why you should avoid using 3d desktop environments, like Unity 3d or Gnome Shell. [17:59] madoo: thats the point; your laptop's too slow [18:00] thegladiator: which ones? [18:00] thanks B0g4r7 [18:00] madoo: You don't have to avoid Ubuntu. Just use a different desktop environment. A Desktop Environment, otherwise known as DE, is the interface in which you see. [18:00] the highest ones [18:00] packages installed in my system [18:00] madoo: I would install Xubuntu-Desktop and use the XFCE desktop environment, or else Unity 2D or something like that. [18:00] hi, lovin' Ubuntu, hatin' a lot of the new stuff that's been goin' on with it though, Ubuntu's really startin' to suck. anyways, my question; could someone please link me to where I could EASILY find a complete ubuntu .deb package archive for local storage?, my Internet connection isn't always, like 100%, I have plenty of hdd space, like, I can spare around 400Gigs, and I can download with another dudes Internet connection. [18:00] madoo: the choice is your's. But your laptop is, by today's terms, very weak. [18:00] madoo: but it's still very usable *IF* you use the right setup. [18:01] Does anyone here run Ubuntu on a Macbook Pro? [18:01] I need to find the packahes that are installed in my computerin size order [18:01] ForgetThisNick, somehow I think 400GB may not be enough...

XFCE, Unity, Gnome Shell, is just an interface ON TOP OF Ubuntu [18:03] hi anyone know how to change the dns server of a ubuntu machine? [18:03] madoo: I have to go. You're best bet is to install xubuntu-desktop and run XFCE, or use Unity 2d. [18:04] zhengyang: you want to change it in network manager - edit connections [18:04] zhengyang, you want to change the dns server that your computer uses? [18:04] phlak_user : no effect [18:04] madoo: remember, your laptop is not that powerful. It's very aged. It'll be slow and hard to run newer 3d oriented applications, so avoid that if you value speed. (which you should with that laptop) [18:04] yes [18:04] zhengyang: temporarily you could change it in /etc/resolv.conf [18:04] jason___, i am very thank you [18:04] phlak_user: permanently:) [18:04] ForgetThisNick, well, if you have a look around in /etc/apt, I imagine you can find the base URLs for the various repos. I don't know of any easy automatic way to mirror the whole works. Myself, I have squid cache my package downloads to save bw. [18:04] madoo: just keep an open mind, and read as much as you can. This IRC channel and ubuntuforums.org are fantastic for Ubuntu help. Don't be afraid to ask, but also don't be afraid to tinker and learn things on your own. :) [18:05] zhengyang: like i said before, edit connection in network manager, under ipv4 settings, you can change the dns server settings [18:05] lion42, as I said, it's not the main OS. It's for fun. Main OS is still OS X. [18:05] zhengyang: if you are getting ip via dhcp, change it in the dhcp server ( router or otherwise) [18:05] Oh, you're just a heathen then. [18:05] Carry on.

[18:06] * phlak_user checks to see if his keyboard is typing english [18:06] Blues003: however, I'm installing Ubuntu to kick OSX into the "alternative OS" sidelines. :P [18:06] madoo: good luck! :) [18:06] Ahah jason :D [18:06] phlak_user: i'm using a server..only cmd line [18:06] B0g4r7, thought about it too ;) === root is now known as Guest28196 [18:06] jason___, good luk [18:06] Wouldn' performance take too much of a hit, B0g4r7? [18:06] Blues003: each OS has its pros and cons. I just have my preferences based on my own experiences. :P [18:06] zhengyang: /etc/network/interfaces [18:07] jason____, you're on OS X now? [18:07] Blues003: nothing can beat the combined power of aMacbook Pro tri-booting OSX, W7, and Linux. All 3 tools on 1 system? Dang.... [18:07] Blues003: I'm on OSX at the moment. (not by choice). I'm at work :P [18:07] Blues003, well I guess that depends on how much performance you need. For anything but games I would expect it to be fine so long as you have lots of memory. [18:07] B0g4r7: lol, skrew that, but thanks, I set up my aptitude to not auto-delete the package downloads from instalations, I then organize them into folders and archive them after every instalation, but, atm, this is in-practical for me [18:07] it is possible to install windows vista mbr from linux [18:07] ? [18:07] sercik: no [18:07] jason___: you're right. So awesome. xD Mind if we pvt? The chat's kind of crazy. [18:07] sercik: put in your windows CD and run a repair. [18:07] i deleted linux partition and now i can't boot [18:08] Blues003: we COULD, but I'm on the verge of leaving... ar eyou on ubuntu forums? [18:08] B0g4r7: What'd you understand by lots of memory? I was considering upgrading to 8Gb with third-party suppliers. [18:08] sercik: just run a repair from the Windows CD. It'll fix the Windows MBR. [18:08] i have no windows cd here [18:08] jason___: I am not. But I can come here tomorrow? [18:08] i only have a linux live that i buyed today [18:08] and i'm on a live now [18:08] sercik: if you have a valid windows key just download one and use that [18:09] Blues003: I'm here off and on, but I'm not sure I'll be here tomorrow. Quite honestly the ubuntuforums is a great resource. If you register there you could always PM me and hit me up later for a regular chat... that's probably easiest... [18:09] ForgetThisNick: maybe https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Rsyncmirror but I haven't tried it (seems straightforward though) [18:09] Blues003: I've run Ubuntu on both my my MBPs a few times [18:09] Blues003, 8GB should be fine for running one VM or maybe two. [18:09] sercik, for windows issues use the ##windows channel [18:09] is there a way to use apt-get to find the current version number of a package in your repositories? [18:09] is not a windows issue.. is a grub error that remain stuck in grub rescue [18:09] Having tried multiboot I would really not recommend it. For me, I was always needing something in the "other" OS, and hated shutting everything down to switch. [18:09] good day. i dug out my karmic today and upgraded to 11.10 - apparently i've messed up unity. i already tried resetting unity config but it didn't work. logging in as guest works like a charm. any suggestions on how i can make unity load up correctly again? [18:09] because don't find linux partition [18:09] jason_____, alright! ;) [18:09] panfist, "apt-cache policy foo" [18:09] sercik: what is your goal? To have windows working? [18:09] that i have deleted [18:09] Blues003: my username on the ubuntuforums is "Roasted". [18:09] Toggi3, found any issues? [18:10] B0g4r7, thanks :D [18:10] sercik, grub2 errors are an ubuntu issue. Reinstalling your windows mbr is not [18:10] but i tought that was possible to run windows [18:10] jason____: thanks a lot. :) [18:10] hello guys [18:10] how do i do it? [18:10] sercik: installing linux wipes out the windows boot loader since windows doesn't play nice with anybody else. [18:10] thanks [18:10] sercik: you wiped out the windows boot loader by installing linux. you wiped out linux (and your grub boot loader) by wiping out the linux partition. [18:10] jason___: please [18:10] Soon we will get to experience the joys of Windows 8 SecureBoot. [18:10] Togi3, may I pvt you? [18:10] sercik: your fix is to get a windows CD and run a repair. Otherwise you might just have to install grub again to get it working [18:10] I am trying to do some pinning with apt-preferences, what is the o= and a= in the repositories? [18:10] how do i change [18:10] Skype causes the whole machine to freeze? What should I do? [18:10] /etc/network/interface? [18:10] sercik, we already gave you a solution [18:11] I'm on Ubuntu 11.10 === joshuap is now known as Guest96693 [18:11] how can i access more dekstops on ubuntu 11.10 ? [18:11] do you know why alt+f2 - about:config isn't working in my recently upgraded ubuntu 11.10 ? clicking on the icon or hitting enter doesn't do anything [18:11] EzeQL: ctrl+shift+right/left not working? [18:11] EzeQL, ccsm / General / Desktop Size tab (from memory) [18:11] sercik: that *IS* your answer. You either keep linux/grub installed, or find a windows CD and fix it by repair. I cannot control the fact Windows has sub-par repair utilities that requires a physical CD that you don't have. :( [18:11] trism: I do not have the resources to rsync, though I have thought about it before, I would be using someone else's computer and (much better)Internet connection to download. [18:11] can i install grub in a small partition? only grub? [18:11] EzeQL: i mean, ctrl+alt+right/left [18:11] and then chainload windows? [18:11] trism: nice input from you though, thx [18:12] I want my ubuntu's dns setting point to itself :( [18:12] sercik: I fail to see the problem to just keep linux installed. Considering how small of a footprint it is, it would hardly hurt. But that's just me... [18:12] sorry Blues003, I had to step out quickly [18:12] no issues to report [18:12] sercik, AFAIK you'd have to make a /boot partition to do that. [18:12] No problem Toggi3. I PM'd you. [18:12] on IRC, that is [18:12] I have 2009 and 2010 MBPs [18:12] anyone can help on this.. [18:12] they are pretty run of the mill really [18:13] ForgetThisNick, I have some ideas for a more universal "internet-to-go" solution, but it's a long way from becoming working software. [18:13] the only issue would be the touchpad [18:13] sercik, either that or keep a small ubuntu partition. or just download a windows cd from somewhere. you already have a key (right?) so that shouldn't present a moral issue [18:13] given they are so weird [18:13] i have the key is a laptop [18:13] they often require extra tweaking to make behave alright [18:13] but i don't know it is possible to downlowsad windo [18:13] !repeat | zhengyang [18:13] zhengyang: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [18:13] theres no way to get them as integrated as on OSX [18:13] Is it possible to use one ATI (pcie) and one nvidia (pci) card at the same time for multiple monitor? [18:13] with vista preinstalled [18:13] that I know of [18:13] so you can forget 360 degree scrolling and whatnot [18:14] fhtagn, thanks [18:14] Hi all, do anybody know wehre can i disable proxy for seahorse ? [18:14] B0g4r7: I'm intrigued, please /dialog me [18:14] I want my ubuntu's dns setting point to itself [18:14] is there any hotkey for opening a console on the same directory as a opned window explorer? [18:14] I am attempting to setup bonding on my server that has dual nic cards and for some reason some sites can reach the server and other sites cannot. I disabled the bonding and all sites can hit the site. Here is my /etc/network/interfaces http://pastebin.com/cN1YA3GR Is anything wrong with it? [18:15] sercik, it is, but that's not a topic for discussion here. Those are your three options: reinstall ubuntu, google how to install a /boot partition only and point it towindows, or find a windows cd online somewhere [18:15] EzeQL, you might be interested in nautilus-open-terminal [18:15] blz ty [18:15] sercik, no problem [18:15] my unity seems messed up, i have no top bar (only menu bar) and no launcher bar, plus alt+f2 does nothing and i hardly got a working terminal on the unity session [18:15] sercik, and the easiest solution for you is just to download a windos cd. it's not that difficult. google will show you how [18:15] anyone got a solution other than reinstalling? [18:15] to be honest i tought that was simpy possible to erase grub2 and then start windows only because it is in the first active partition [18:16] !warez > blz don't make such suggestions [18:16] blz, please see my private message [18:16] EzeQL: there are scripts that can be added to nautilus so that the right click context menu gives you extra options.. i forget how to do that =/ [18:16] zykotick9, ty [18:16] zykotick9, I appreciate the heads up but i'm assuming he has a valid key. If he does, there's no moral issue to reinstalling an MBR [18:16] EzeQL: yeah, what zykotick9 said xD [18:17] windows can actually legally be downloaded if you own a license [18:17] blz, and OEM key will probably NOT work - but it's illegal do download the iso period! [18:17] from the ms site [18:17] blz do you think this can work with vista? http://www.arsgeek.com/2008/01/15/how-to-fix-your-windows-mbr-with-an-ubuntu-livecd/ [18:17] hello [18:18] zykotick9, i'll refer you to MrElendig's comment. You're the one assuming I'm talking about warez [18:18] i want to upgrat my ubuntu 10.10 to xubuntu can i do thats [18:18] sercik, I don't know. You'll have to try =/ [18:18] madoo this is not an upgrade [18:18] where should i left JDK java binaries [18:18] usr/bin ? [18:19] Is it possible to use one ATI (pcie) and one nvidia (pci) card at the same time for multiple monitor? [18:19] I want my ubuntu's dns setting point to itself permanently... [18:19] legal download is only for full license btw, not for oem [18:19] you can simply install xfce and choose session at login [18:19] for the later you can contact the oem company to get a new copy [18:19] sercik can you tell me what i can do to change to xubuntu [18:19] hey any secondlife users? [18:19] xubuntu is only ubuntu that uses xfce instead of gnome [18:20] so install xfce and you can choose to start a session with gnome or xfce [18:20] madoo, it's sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [18:20] madoo, then just log out and log back into an xfce session [18:20] exactly! [18:21] zhengyang, if you're using dhcp, you'll need to modify /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf. Look for "prepend domain-name-servers" [18:21] Not sure how to find a string and isolate it with sed -- I am trying to take the output of 'amixer set PCM 5 | grep "Front Left: "' and isolate the number before the % sign... output is Front Left: Playback 5 [2%] [-50.00dB] and I want to get the 2 [18:21] blz thank you [18:21] madoo, anytime [18:21] B0g4r7: ok i try [18:21] zhengyang, actually you will probably want to use "supercede" rather than prepend. [18:22] i do naw but did you think its can be faster to my laptop its very old [18:22] madoo, say again? [18:22] my laptop its very old [18:22] is the only difference between 32 and 64 bit wine how it is compiled? [18:23] do you think its can be faster then ubuntu [18:23] madoo, yes. that's tne entire point [18:23] there's also lubuntu-desktop you can install which is even lighter [18:23] Zopiac, you have to group it and back match should be something like s/\(\N\+\)\%/\1/ [18:23] supersede domain-name "my.domain"; [18:23] prepend domain-name-servers 192.168.0.125; [18:23] Hi! How to get 4 workspaces instead of viewports in lucid with compiz? [18:23] madoo: try ubuntu using xfce, or you could even use xubuntu or lubuntu, lighter variations of it. [18:23] cindy_, I would expect the architecture to have an effect on which [windows] binaries it can run, but I din't know for sure. [18:23] but i want some thing like 3d or 2d [18:24] B0g4r7: is this correct? [18:24] madoo: if there's any question, you should really install lubuntu [18:24] to confirm, can I use debian *.debs on ubuntu or can that cause issues? [18:24] B0g4r7: supersede domain-name "cresttravel.internal"; [18:24] madoo: what do you want in 3d? === Mumrah is now known as noodlr [18:24] madoo: expecting 3D, out of a really old laptop, is not realistic. [18:24] B0g4r7: prepend domain-name-servers 192.168.0.125; [18:24] its desktop [18:24] I download JRE from java.com [18:24] escott: yeah But I don't know how to isolate that number [18:24] jkyle, can cause problems - i would strongly suggest against mixing distros [18:24] the grafik [18:24] ok same scenario. [18:24] where should i leave binaries? /usr/bin is ok? [18:24] madoo: what graphics card/ [18:25] hm [18:25] zhengyang, Kind of. You may want to use "supercede" for the nameservers line as well. I would also suggest using 127.0.0.1 to refer to your local host rather than using the dhcp-assigned address. [18:25] how do i change alt tab so that i get individual instances of all windowed apps; and not their parents app [18:25] is there a better pdf reader than evince? it has crashed 4 times in the past hour (ubuntu 11.10) [18:26] i dont know but befor 30 munit i was speake with someone here and we do some stuff and he tell me install xubuntu its better for ur laptop [18:26] arooni-mobile, I'd be surprised if that was the core of the problem. Start evince in the command line and pastbit the output when it crashes === san is now known as sannysanof [18:26] madoo: is it a laptop or desktop? === sannysanof is now known as sannysanoff [18:27] laptop but old one [18:27] madoo, please pastebin the output of lspci [18:27] madoo: you just said a minute ago, its a laptop. [18:27] *desktop [18:27] no its laptop [18:27] * blz bangs head on keyboard [18:27] Quick question: Does Ubuntu 11.10 already handle .zip and .rar files (can it extract them) without any special apps installed? [18:27] fujitsu fmv-830mg [18:27] hewwo, yes [18:28] blz: thanks! [18:28] hewwo, no problem! === corsair is now known as Guest83857 [18:28] hewwo: you will need to install unrar to add support for rar, zip is there by default though [18:28] is ubuntu server suppose to start in shel? [18:28] Shell? [18:28] ia9371: Ubuntu Server has no GUI [18:28] ia9371, yes [18:28] trism: aw man! [18:28] Zopiac, sed -n -e "s/.*\[\([0-9]\+\)%\].*/\1/p" [18:28] ia9371: the Ubuntu Server installation image will always load in shell/CLI [18:28] blz please tell me what better xubuntu or lubuntu [18:28] but you can install the GUI correct? [18:29] madoo: it's a matter of personal preference. I like both. [18:29] ia9371: yes [18:29] ia9371, you can always install the desktop packages from the command line: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [18:29] !best| madoo [18:29] madoo: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [18:29] madoo, lubuntu-desktop is lighter. the main difference is aesthetics [18:29] http://paste.ubuntu.com/721780/ Any ideas as to whether this will work or not? [18:29] oops [18:29] was meant to be in offtopic [18:29] escott: thanks :D [18:30] hewwo, im not sure about unrar that may be part of restricted extras [18:30] mang0, you mean will it work on ubuntu?

[18:31] mang0, ok. but yes [18:31] oky thank you [18:31] Gentoo64: Great. I was just worried about the PSU, will 300 be enough? [18:31] EzeQL, try "man hier" in terminal [18:31] EzeQL, local is for applications you might install outside of apt. some people use /opt for the same purpose [18:31] #hardware, guys...

[18:50] r3b00tx, xkill in terminal [18:50] then click on the update manager [18:50] EzeQL, anything you are installing manually goes in either /usr/local or /opt. its up to you how you want to manage those folders. /usr/local tends to have a more standard layout, but mixes binaries of different packages in /usr/local/bin. /opt allows for a less standard layout, but the binaries are spread across different package folders. or feel free to make up your own system. just don't put it in /usr/bin [18:51] mguy: it won't tell him what his hardware supports, though [18:51] Cong: no, your computer is 64-bit, and your OS is possibly 32-bit [18:51] mguy, just an fyi for future, but "uname -m" might be a more specific/easier suggestion [18:51] that ctcp version is a fake. :D [18:52] Cong: yes I know [18:52] Cong, if "cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep flags | grep lm" prints out lines that begin with "flags " then it is a 64bit processor, and you might want to download the 64bit install disk [18:52] Cong: although you send two [18:52] zykotick9: good call [18:53] hello [18:53] madoo: hi [18:53] Cong, if you have less the 4GB of memory stick to 32bit [18:53] blz, i killed tat process and tried apt update. getting the same resource lock error. http://pastebin.com/wc5RU9MT [18:53] can eny one tell me haw i can setup 2d in xubuntu [18:53] r3b00tx, sudo killall update-manager [18:53] r3b00tx, or just reboot [18:53] hi reisio [18:53] r3b00tx, killing the processes won't always free the locks. those files are lock files you may need to manually delete [18:54] blz, the killall suggestion will result in a lock [18:54] zykotick9, is that right? [18:54] madoo: unity 2d? [18:54] cant say iv ever neded to set up 2d madoo . what do you mean [18:54] zykotick9: Might as well get 64-bit if you ever plan on upgrading memory as well. [18:54] zykotick9, I (perhaps suptidly) assumed it was a good way to recover from a lock [18:54] *stupidly, even [18:55] i mean like cub and lamp [18:55] madoo: ...? [18:55] the grafik [18:55] blz, it didnt work either. i ll reboot. hope the grub is not messed up and stop me from booting in [18:55] !ccsm|madoo [18:55] madoo: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' (or 'simple-ccsm' for pre-Oneiric).

How can I assign it to f4 in libre office? [18:56] r3b00tx, rebooting when your grub is perhaps screwed up is not the best idea. at the least ensure you have an install disk [18:56] thank you [18:56] r3b00tx, you manually run update-grub to generate your grub.cfg [18:56] zykotick9: 64-bit is faster for things like databases or video encoding, regular use not so much [18:57] go it's a 64 bit? http://paste.ubuntu.com/721799/ [18:57] mguy, i agree [18:57] how to see file size on mouse over? in more, how to rename a file by clicking it with mouse instead to use the context menu? thanks [18:57] escott, ye tats wat i feared. thanks for reminding me. will keep the install disk in hand [18:57] Cong, yes. lm mode flag for the processors = 64bit [18:58] We have a db/web server that's 32-bit here, I'd love to upgrade but it'd takea while to re-configure some things.

[19:13] 10.04lts [19:13] jeward: no idea [19:13] <_joey> reisio: there isn't enything there [19:13] yusuo, i think you have to do a whole lot of stuff to remove pulse [19:13] <_joey> there a bunch of files [19:13] tetsuo--: so it's not a ghost drive, it's a ghost _entry_ [19:13] Gentoo64: I dont want to remove it I just want the audio to use alsa instead [19:13] reisio: ahh yeah, your right [19:13] <_joey> how do I stop network manager overwritting resolv.conf file?

[19:14] Gentoo64 I used to have this problem before and there was a simple fix for it, i just cant find it now [19:14] ok escott, so best to backup my package list to my home directory and reinstall [19:14] reisio: 280.13 === fran is now known as Guest32045 [19:14] reisio: yes they are both always there, regardless of physical connection of the usb drive [19:14] reisio: Should I uninstall 173? [19:14] yusuo, im not sure tbh i dont know much about pulse [19:14] daniel__, i would think so [19:14] jeward: installing one should take care of the other [19:14] this isn't Windows... :p [19:15] reisio: Thanks, rebooting. [19:15] hello, can any one help me with open suse boot? i would like to boot it, but there is allways an error , after i chose the device. how do i boot it with a comand line?

[19:15] Gentoo64 ok ill explain the problem, when i play multiple audio sources e.g. vlc and a internet add the audio goes ringy and indecipherable i have to restart vlc for the audio to correct itself [19:15] Guest32045, there isn't a single setting for that. you need to make the setting changes in the skype application [19:15] escott: well i could do that slowly as i find problems - but you're right, probably easier in the ong run to jsut reinstall [19:15] reisio, pastebin.ubuntu.com/721811/ [19:15] reisio: yeah very, which is i was hoping to somehow purge both entries from the system and then reconnect the usb drive after a reboot [19:16] I just downloaded the .tar.bz2 of Celtx from their website. When I extract it and CD to the directory, "make" doesn't work. How can I install this? [19:16] <_joey> where does bloody ubuntu keeps its configs for monitor and mouse? [19:16] reisio: actually it got worse, its now shown 3 times [19:16] tetsuo--: sorry so it's not there after a reboot, or it is? [19:16] Does anybody saw that nautilus has a problem when we type to find a folder or a file in GNOME3? [19:16] Guest32045, if you want to use your webcams audio input that might be selectable through the volume preferences (right click on the volume icon) [19:16] wow, old info?

I read that it is an error in the stack or something. [19:33] Gentoo64_: it "requires" 32bit firefox, and 32bit java. and it works fine in a 32bit Ubuntu installation, just not in 64 bit. But I would like to have 64bit FF for my everyday tasks, and 32 bit FF for the vpn when I need it. [19:33] alsamixer shows everything isntalled [19:33] guntbert: gnome-tweak-tool allows you to change the fonts, should work for unity-2d as well, I think [19:33] ubuntu is great but the lack of hotspot shield is a bit anoying [19:33] so, I can't simply install ff:i386 [19:33] txomon, see my post to you above [19:33] trism: thx, will try [19:34] zykotick thanks [19:34] zykotick9 ok i know [19:34] thanks [19:34] offtic: there's a patch for 32bit, to move the bar to the bottom [19:34] BluesKaj, done, doesnt work === faz_ is now known as faz [19:35] Dougie187: im not sure if theres an easy option for that [19:36] Is there any email application for Linux which looks the same as 'Mail' in MAC OS?

[19:42] FrankAnders-: the minumum you need is 1 partition, format it as ext4 [19:42] FrankAnders-: the installer handles that [19:42] FrankAnders-: no need to do it manually unless you have a reason [19:42] FrankAnders-: ^ or let the installer partition it for you [19:42] Hmm. It didn't.. I could choose "Replace osX, or manual" [19:43] FrankAnders-: you want osx off? [19:43] or dual boot [19:43] how do i enable my tv to play audio? [19:43] Dual boot [19:43] deefmeister: what wifi issue? [19:43] not sure about grub and osx [19:43] no idea [19:43] lafon: with what cable?

[19:45] yea [19:45] , ext4 is fine [19:45] I have 100 gb free, so I could probably set up a swap partition [19:46] make a few GB for swap at the end if you want [19:46] lol @ twitter "vi is an editor with two modes: one which destroys your input and the other which beeps at you" [19:46] http://bc.tech.coop/blog/images/curves.jpg [19:46] hi all i'm having trouble setting up a user account with nologin script and then running a process via that account...problem is that even though the user has no passwd it asks me for one...

I know you can download the deb package and install it from there, but I was thinking that it would be better to use the ubuntu softare centre or something, but that doesn't seem to have the very latest updated version of Opera [19:47] reisio: using HD audio through HDMI? [19:48] noodlr, personally I've always just downloaded the latest .deb and be done with it [19:48] mari00, use cron's at startup functionality [19:48] so, anyone knows about wine? [19:48] Swap system should be ext4 as well? [19:48] FrankAnders-: no [19:48] noodlr: Same as Python1320 here. [19:48] FrankAnders-, no they are "swap" [19:48] Ahhh. I found out the norwegian word for "swap" [19:48] Python1320, I was hoping that there was a more elegant solution, so that update manager could then update the install and keep things tidy. [19:49] seems weird that an app should break with update manager entirely. [19:49] lafon: make sure things are unmuted in alsamixer [19:49] anyone here ever tried openwrt? is it good? [19:49] Tried the Norwegian installation. [19:49] pico vs vi is like a hacksaw vs a cnc plasma cutter [19:49] It works [19:49] Hi all, can anyone give me a hand with a usb install issue? [19:49] Tnx! [19:50] whats acronym of -q in GDB -q file [19:50] JokesOnYou77: not until we know what it is [19:50] "-q" what mod is this ? [19:50] in GDB debugger [19:50] man gdb [19:50] it only says quiet there [19:50] it makes no sense [19:51] lol [19:51] it doesn't? [19:51] reisio: I'll try that. I was just wondering if there was a setting that needed to be changed first [19:51] Hello All [19:51] the entire idea of program running without that quiet [19:51] is just ridiculous [19:51] ?

I am looking for someone that is running 11.10, Unity 2D and has a monitor of over 2100 pixels horizontal. I want to check if Launch Pad Bug #879143 effects more then just me. I have a rather odd graphics card Nvida Qudra NVS and am running dual 17" monitors. Can anyone help [19:52] Launchpad bug 879143 in gnome-terminal (Ubuntu) "The app windows gets cut off at greater then 2050 pixels" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/879143 [19:53] Leao, ...huh? The man page describes exactly what quiet means, and in that context, I don't know what "the idea of program running without that quiet" means at all. [19:53] JokesOnYou77, is this a persistent usb? [19:53] escott: yes [19:53] JokesOnYou77, the loopback ext4 fs of the root filesystem is corrupted [19:53] the program runs without quiet turned on [19:53] its default value is "on" [19:53] true [19:53] whatever [19:54] why would they even need to write the copyright [19:54] messages [19:54] sorry flooding. [19:54] Leao, because the license requires it [19:54] what's the command to put all the files in a directory into a directory within the first directory? Trying something like "mv * thedirectory" but get and error since I can't move the directory into itself [19:54] yeah but not all programs spam it everytime we open the program [19:54] Leao, read the GPL -- it actually mandates spooling out a banner on startup with copyright notice where possible, even though not everyone follows that. [19:54] escott: I don't know exactly what that means, but it sounds like I've corrupted my filesystem. Is there a way to tell if it's the flash drive or somethign that I'm doing? And how do I stop it from happening again? [19:54] JokesOnYou77, if you have another linux system you try and fsck the image file on the stick, but its probably easier to just assume its toast and recreate [19:54] gnome3 come with a software to create screencasts. But here there's no sound input. What's the problem? [19:54] Leao, they don't, but for GPL-licensed software being redistributed by anyone other than the author, they _should_. [19:55] hi [19:55] Leao, anyhow, this isn't a topic for #ubuntu. === OffToHades is now known as BarkingFish [19:55] escott: I'm perfectly happy to just reformat and reburn it, the problem is that this has happened some 4 times or so. [19:55] JokesOnYou77, there a various reasons why it is easier to corrupt a filesystem on a usb stick, it could be that the stick is bad [19:56] that is just ... ugh.

[19:56] theyre just spreading the cancer [19:56] * nDuff puts Leao on /ignore, being a bit tired of the S/N ratio degradation [19:56] escott: So try another stick as a control? I can do that. Is there someway I can prevent this from happening so frequently? Or things I especially shouldn't do? [19:57] whats S/N ...

[19:58] Intel HD drivers* [19:59] luigihs: hd audio? [19:59] hard drive? [19:59] nop [19:59] Dougie187: did you try installing the 32-bit Firefox .bin from mozilla.com yet? [19:59] no i mean the video driver [19:59] graphicsw? [19:59] the graphics [19:59] reisio: yeah. It's working. and I made a separate profile for it too [19:59] Dougie187: also I imagine using Firefox via Wine would be a simple (if somewhat lame) way to manage it [19:59] luigihs, intel video has nothing to install, they come as part of the standard install if it sees the intel hardware [19:59] Dougie187: ah [19:59] Dougie187: so what's the problem now? [19:59] but i dont have the same definiton than in windows [20:00] and when i going to the properties [20:00] luigihs: the res is low? [20:00] its says graphics none [20:00] Now I need to figure out how to make the 32bit firefox run the 32bit java [20:00] and the 64 bit FF run the 64bit java [20:00] though I guess to start they could both run the 32bit java [20:00] luigihs: is it one of them intel/nvidia combos? [20:00] I not sure :/ [20:00] what is a good system-monitor for the notification area, which can show CPU, GPU and HDD temps? [20:01] Because I was looking in the System INfo and Graphics Driver is UNknown [20:01] Cool. [20:01] F1skr, sensors-applet perhaps? [20:01] I was just implying that they're injecting you people with egoism [20:01] i'll take a look [20:01] so that you protect your daily identities [20:01] and be proud of yourselves [20:01] with copyrights. instead of a community feeling, that was the signal [20:02] the noise was at necessary level [20:02] !enter > Leao [20:02] Leao, please see my private message [20:02] and now I want eggo waffles, thanks Leao ...

[20:02] escott: I'm using the system for pen-testing on a local network so I need it to be portable. Would the problem be alleviated by doing a full install to a usb? (i.e. is this something endemic to the portable system) [20:02] oh another hacker wannabe [20:02] Leao: This channel is for support only. If you want to chat there is #ubuntu-offtopic [20:02] hahah ok well. thanks bye [20:03] Gentoo64_ I have NVDIA also [20:03] yoyoman: start sshd if it isn't started, make them a user with a password, give them the IP, user, pass [20:03] I need to set up keys [20:03] kay [20:03] curl -s tnx.nl/ip [20:03] JokesOnYou77, i think the bigger issue is the persistence. if its not persistent you are much less likely to have problems. but with persistence the entire root fs is a single file on a fat32 fs. which is not the most reliable filesystem out there [20:04] yoyoman, if you want key based authentication have them send you their public key, and then you can add it to their $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys file [20:04] ah [20:05] escott [20:05] ok [20:05] Hi i need help with my graphics drivers [20:06] DOes anyone know ?

[20:06] hi, are there any apt-get packages that will allow me to speed up video playback speed of a mp4? the guy talking in a set of my videos is talking too slowly [20:06] luigihs, there are a couple projects related to these switchable graphics systems. bumblebee and vga_switcheroo. but what works best is to disable one of the cards in the bios [20:07] boxbeatsy, mplayer can do that with some command line switches [20:08] ?? [20:08] boxbeatsy: what're you using now? [20:08] i believe i'm using mplayer right now [20:09] "Totem Movie Player 2.30.2" [20:09] boxbeatsy: [ and ] and also with SHIFT [20:09] no [20:09] totem uses [20:09] gstreamer or xine [20:09] with mplayer you can use the shortcuts I gave, or -speed (IIRC) [20:10] escott: Ok, this is really helping actually. If it's endemic to the file-system type I may be able to get around it by doing a full install to the flash drive and formatting to ext4 or something like that. [20:10] hi all i am getting the following errors when i try to run sudo apt-get update all of a sudden: http://pastebin.com/fuYDE6KL. i'm not sure why? this is on an amazon web services instance that is otherwise working fine. [20:10] my mom ran the distro upgrade on her laptop and accidentally shut the machine down while it was running the update... i was able to recover it for the most part but it no longer starts KDM at startup. i have to sudo restart kdm from a tty to get it going. any thoughts? [20:10] reisio: ah ok lemme try with mplayer then [20:10] Does anyone have a more recent tutorial for doing a full install to USB? This is all I've got: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/installing-ubuntu-to-a-usb-hard-drive/ [20:10] JokesOnYou77: theres really no tutorial needed.. i install to my usb same as if it was a internal hard drive [20:10] ^ [20:11] dr_willis: really? Sweet! :) [20:11] reisio: do you know if i cano decrease the increments using shift+]? it's going from 1x to 2x immediately [20:11] thats a FULL normal install.. [20:11] yup [20:11] not a live-cd + save setup.. [20:11] Linux doesn't care, as long as you have the drivers [20:12] boxbeatsy: shift is for big jumps, IIRC, if you want small just use the brackets alone [20:12] boxbeatsy: or play with -speed [20:12] boxbeatsy: there's some stuff you can do to normalize the pitch despite it going fast, too [20:12] boxbeatsy, try to find a command that will assume some other fps [20:12] aaaah thanks guys! [20:12] boxbeatsy: like http://markplusplus.wordpress.com/2006/10/01/pitch-correct-play-speed-with-mplayer/ [20:12] hi evry one there [20:12] works perfectly [20:13] hello [20:13] madoo: hi again [20:13] hi [20:13] madoo: hi again [20:14] can you tell me haw long time xubuntu take to be insed my laptop i do naw [20:14] dr_willis: That's exactly what I want. I've been having trouble with a persistan USB install and from what I've gathered, I might be able to get around some of that by formatting ext4 instead of fat32 [20:14] does anybody know how gnome's software name that create video with ctrl+alt+shift+r in GNOME3 [20:14] JokesOnYou77: a persistant install saves to a file that is formated to ext2 i recall.. but theres other issues ive seen with persistant live setups. [20:15] like hard to get some drivers installed.. or updated kernels and so forth [20:15] Hey, can someone help me? how can I mount .bin/.cue files? [20:15] madoo: how long... to install Xubuntu on a laptop? [20:15] Lars--: bin2iso, then the ordinary way [20:15] Lars--: the fuseiso or isofuse* tool can do that. [20:15] Lars--: or convert them [20:15] how to convert them to .iso? [20:15] 'bin2iso' :) [20:15] dr_willis: ah that's a neat one [20:15] * reisio hugs FUSE [20:16] fuse is very handy [20:16] dr_willis: where do I find bin2iso? :p [20:16] try the package manager tools yet? [20:16] Im logged into a ubuntu box using vnc. I cant see starter (mah programs!). How do I start starter?

I'm using a zmer KU-0453 keyboard but ubuntu doesnt seem to recognize it as I cannot use the numeric set of the numeric keypad. How can I fix this? TIA! [20:18] Hi, is there a way by which I can check the POSIX version that my system is compliant to ? [20:18] how much swap would you guys allocate on a desktop system with 8gb of memory? [20:18] you don't have to [20:18] I am currently on Natty. But I would like to know a general way across all Linux distros [20:18] what is the difference between LTS version and the regular OS like the current version 11,1 [20:18] chongopants, what about hibernate? [20:18] but you could use 1/2 ram as a general rule [20:18] if using hibernate/suspend - 8gb then devinus [20:18] I'm just trying to see if I need to upgrade the system [20:18] hrm... [20:18] devinus: I'd do 8, unless the HD is small [20:18] no, has plenty of space... [20:18] harushimo: LTS is longer supported [20:19] devinus: swap can be handy even with lots of RAM [20:19] really? [20:19] okay [20:19] you can, for example, install an entire other distro in what was an 8GB swap partition, if you really wanted to [20:19] yeah, i'm sure disabling swap completely is dumb [20:19] Migaaresno: harushimo lucid is LTS and is still suported [20:19] devinus: well, it depends [20:20] that is what I'm writing lucid LTS version [20:20] but if the HD is large, why not have it [20:20] instead 11.1, I just feel the LTS versions are better [20:20] they are not better if they dont support your newer-then-the-lts hardware :) [20:23] CLI mojo to disable autologin (OO, gdm)?

The fat icons on the left are quite nice :) [22:32] proudy3: idk. go on the forums [22:32] before that, natty had something almost identical to what I used in Lucid, Hardy, Dapper etc ..

[22:34] Anyone has set tup dual screen in ubuntu 11.10 without mirroring? [22:34] yes [22:34] only using nvidia's stuff though [22:34] Oh, wait, I understand now [22:34] leeping: hmm it should work if u install it there [22:34] I probably just need to restart [22:34] The other themes don't have a unity subdirectory [22:34] i'll be right back [22:35] leeping: oh wait are u using the built in appearance tool or gnome-tweak-tool?

If you are not familiar with what this command does it will display the version details of your ubuntu installation.

[22:37] Dougie187, how can I go back to default drivers, not ATI drivers? Just deactivate restricted driver? [22:37] I would assume so. [22:37] atrai rulez!

I can use it just fine when in windowed mode, but once I enter full screen I get no input, leaving full screen shows any text I had input. Has this been addressed here before?

[23:03] lordbah: naturally [23:04] Hi. Where does ubuntu store network configuration? If I ssh into my box, how can I edit the network config from the CLI?

Not much going on here right now. [23:15] L0veM0nkey: hi [23:15] had a quick question [23:15] does ubuntu work with open office? [23:16] sup sebsebseb?! [23:16] L0veM0nkey: not much a bit bored here [23:16] L0veM0nkey: Ubuntu uses Libre Office since uhmm 10.04 or whatver, Open Office got replaced [23:16] ,but you could install the actsual Open Office yourself outside repos [23:17] L0veM0nkey: 10.04? I mean 11.04 [23:17] L0veM0nkey: sudo ap-get install libreoffice [23:17] L0veM0nkey: scribus12 Libre Office comes by default in the later versions [23:17] does Unbuntu work well with MS office?

I saw it booted and got to choose Englis ((I have an Intel MacBook circa 2006-7??) [23:18] L0veM0nkey: more like does Libre Office work well with Microsoft Office, (and Libre Office in most other Desktop Linux distros these days as well), and yes it works quite nicely with the Word 2003 and such formats, not sure about 2007 and later. [23:18] how about databases, ms access [23:19] L0veM0nkey: I think Access is still an issue, but not that sure really [23:19] cool, thx for taking the time answering my questions. [23:20] if access was supported, i would prolly try it out ASAP [23:20] Okay, I'm using RubyGems to install something, but when I type redcar install (redcar is what I'm installing,) it doesn't work. :/ === moe is now known as Guest27691 [23:20] It says command not found [23:20] How to disable the password screen lock on 10.04 [23:21] another quick?, any free database apps for Ubuntu?

I seem to have to be having an issue with Ubuntu... I cannot run i386 executables. It gives an error saying it has no program installed to run them. [23:38] so on 11.10 when i press ctrl-t on the desktop an x-nautilus directory appears and renders the desktop totally white. How can I get rid of this? [23:40] hearnoseeno : simple solution, remap ctrl-t short-cut to something else [23:40] v0lksman: not necessarily [23:42] hearnoseeno : or disable Nautilus desktop handling [23:42] DrMax, any idea as to what is going on exactly === buhman is now known as biohazard9907 [23:43] nautilus handles the desktop as a window, ctrl-t opens a new tab === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === biohazard9907 is now known as buhman [23:43] but why does it clobber the desktop and it's background? [23:43] hearnoseeno : http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/137914-disable-nautilus-desktop-handling/ [23:43] Not sure. [23:44] http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/turn-off-auto-play-of-audio-and-video-cds-and-dvds-in-ubuntu/ this seems outdated. How can I configure autoplay for dvds? [23:44] I have a problem with a file that starts witha a hyphen - and I can't run a mv command because, evn if i use a \ before it, it thinks i'm trying to flag an optino [23:45] testing [23:46] hot2trot, you can't even get it with tabcomplete? [23:46] james418 : system settings -> removable devices [23:46] hot2trot: try quotes? [23:46] james418 : system settings -> removable media* sorry [23:46] DrMax, seems as if it creates a new tab on the desktop [23:46] hot2trot: rm "-filename" [23:46] elky: i use tab completes and it doesn't like it [23:46] hot2trot: and rm '-filename' [23:46] and my netbook was barely displaying the top....... [23:46] are inode sizes in bits or what? [23:46] tdowg1: i shall try that [23:46] hearnoseeno : yes, the desktop is a nautilus window, unless you tell it not to [23:47] rightclicked new tab, closed........good to go, thanks [23:47] tdowg1: didn't work [23:47] DrMax, I do not see anything in LXDE menu -> Preferences or LXDE menu -> System tools regarding removable devices or media [23:47] Is there a command I can type? [23:47] Dern it. Anyone know where MPT is?

There aught to be a control panel of some sort?

[23:48] hot2trot: rm -- -foo === Accuser is now known as Apollyon [23:49] DrMax, Well, how can I use gnome classic? I don't like that new desktop environment Unity. [23:49] hi folks; i just had to restart my computer (11.10) because the copy paste functionality got stuck. i couldn't click on anything anymore... i.e. id click on something and nothing would happen [23:49] ideas? [23:49] Problem: ubuntu 11.10 crashes at startup and once I have used an install USB once, it stops working. [23:49] [16:17] I just made an Ubuntu liveCD which booted -- to a black screen. I saw it booted and got to choose Englis ((I have an Intel MacBook circa 2006-7??) -- HELP ME I"M A GIRL/WOMAN/CRONE [23:49] I am unable to select "gnome classic" during login because it is not listed in the menu for some reason. [23:49] tdowg1: http://dpaste.com/642924/ [23:49] it just happened again [23:49] i cant click on anything [23:49] I remember on another computer seeing option to use "gnome classic" desktop, but on this laptop it is not available. [23:49] such as closing a window [23:49] arooni-mobile You have an ATI video card? [23:49] What package must I install to provide "gnome classic" desktop? [23:49] plummerb, no i have an integrated intel on my lenovo t420 [23:50] It wasn't crashing at login yesterday === Apollyon is now known as Deceiver [23:50] and this is my second install. [23:50] * arooni-mobile is sad ubuntu 11.10 doesnt let him click anything.... he was hoping itd be more stable than 11.04 [23:50] arooni-mobile: you and I are learning that new releases aren't stable :) [23:50] arooni-mobile I know I was getting that behavior too. Had something to do with Unity not working with ATI drivers or something. [23:50] in comparison [23:51] v0lksman: ah, ya that can get tricky. im not expert, but you can try doing `chgrp upstream' ? [23:51] how can i click on things hahah [23:51] Does anyone know why I can't run i386 or x86_64 executables? I have download two zipped archives for Ubuntu games and neither of there executables will open. Either i836 or x86 _64 extensions. I am running Ubunto Desktop 11.10. [23:51] So I'm running ubuntu 11.10 on a netbook, any advice on some packages to make life easier? [23:51] arooni-mobile I got it to stop on my system by logging in to the Unity 2D session. [23:51] or can i revert to some other desktop enviornment? [23:51] oh unity [23:51] i had such high hopes for you [23:51] MrBlue: Have you marked them as executable? [23:51] Hey all, how hard it is it to get Audacity (which is using ALSA) to record Skype (which is using PulseAudio) ? [23:51] how do i login to unity 2d from command line? i.e. seeing the login screen again [23:52] v0lksman: otherwise, the only other thing that comes to my mind is to play around with sticky (?) bits or wahtever... `man chmod' goes into ___detail___ much more than I care to read about. [23:52] sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart ? from another tty? [23:52] Ubuntu liveCD booted to a black screen after choosing English. (I have an Intel MacBook) - I've been working on this for days and even with the Geniuses. [23:52] maxtmahem: yes I do [23:52] It won't even let me use the command line :S [23:52] DrMax, ping ircdearia if you respond [23:52] it crashes [23:52] james418 : install gnome-desktop, log out, choose "gnome" or "gnome classic" from the list of possible sessions (accessible via the gear button on the log-in dialog) [23:52] arooni-mobile Well, you could try ... What is it... Alt+Printscrn+k [23:53] I think that restarts X [23:53] Problem: ubuntu 11.10 crashes at startup and once I have used an install USB once, it stops working. It was not crashing yesterday. It began to crash while using apt-get, then at login. I cannot even use the virtual terminals, since it crashes. [23:54] I'm using an Acer AOD 522 [23:54] with ATI graphics [23:54] ircdearia : install gnome-desktop, log out, choose "gnome" or "gnome classic" from the list of possible sessions (accessible via the gear button on the log-in dialog) [23:54] DpEpsilon, you may just need to reinstall. [23:54] v0lksman: ah, ya that can get tricky. im not expert, but you can try doing `chgrp upstream' ? ---sorry, instead of chgrp, i really meant to say this instead : `newgrp upstream' [23:54] and a free driver. [23:54] maxtmahem: It says there is no application to run "executables" [23:54] plummerb: already installed twice. [23:54] which makes upstream your primary group (or whatever), instead of foo. [23:55] tdowg1: nadda...voodoo problem...uhg [23:55] DpEpsilon Maybe the iso you downloaded was corrupt. I was getting corrupt iso's a lot lately. [23:55] hmm... [23:55] haha, ya, sorry. [23:55] plummerb: that might be it.... [23:55] It's possible... [23:55] MrBlue: hrm, don't know what that is. Can you run it from the command line, so like cd wherever then ./your_executable_name [23:55] plummerb: also, neither of my boot usbs work with the same iso after using it to install once... which is strange. [23:55] tdowg1: no worries...thanks for trying.. ;) [23:56] plummerb: so it might be a corrupt iso. [23:56] DpEpsilon I was getting really strange results trying to install with a USB that I built in windows. One I built in linux worked perfect. [23:57] plummerb: I built mine on ubuntu 10.04 [23:57] DpEpsilon also... Did you check your boot disk order [23:57] ? [23:57] plummerb: yes [23:58] plummerb: that's not the problem. [23:58] DpEpsilon Well, you may want to check the SHA of the ISO you downloaded just to make sure it isn't corrupt. [23:58] ok [23:59] Maxtmahem, Im sorry, Im not too fluent with the terminal. Could you give me an example of running that command? === TheDreamer is now known as Youri [23:59] plummerb: if it isn't the iso, I will assume it is the kernel, because _all_ of my problems seemed to be associated with the kernel on 10.04.
