I have a software RAID (done in Disk Management) that I made in Windows. I'd like to mount it in Linux. It is formatted NTFS and uses striped disks with no parity (yet). Can I mount this volume in Linux? [00:04] ActionParsnip? [00:04] iceroot: vs just having the name server domains in it? [00:05] friskd: because that is the way dhcp is working [00:05] friskd: D(ynamic)hcp [00:05] iceroot: hmm.. How do i stop it? [00:06] i notice sometimes ubuntu doesnt handle switching from wireless to wired adapters well. i often have to reboot to get it to recognize shares after such a switch. anyone else have this problem? how to fix if any? i'm on 10.10 [00:06] friskd: dont provide dns through dhcp or use static ip configs [00:06] friskd: or not using network-manager [00:06] ...

Is there a way to change it via SSH???? [00:09] I have (well, I will have in a moment) a .deb package created by checkinstall. it uses gzip as a compressor. how do I re-compress the .deb file with lzma?

I found it [00:16] it was in the universal access menu [00:16] janisozaur, The problem is, i have no recording devices on the sound preferences :/ [00:16] It was accidently activated when I held down shift for too long [00:17] not cool at all [00:17] HELO Peoples [00:17] Drknzz: if you run: alsamixer are all levels unmuted and maxed?

[00:34] I use nGinx, PHP, FastCGI, and WordPress [00:36] well wordpress uses some sql based product does it not and it gets updates all the time and I imagine a lot of those updates are for security patches? security is a moving beast if there was a end all way to secure a system every server would be secure [00:37] Can someone here tell me how to make ubuntu send mails?

[01:05] i drag the file from the mounted drive to my desktop [01:05] and the two images are not the same.

They should be identical. [01:11] Hamder: the driver is already installed in a default install [01:12] linuxlurker: but they aren't. [01:12] linuxlurker: i can clearly see that the updated version has a transparent background while the one being copied to the desktop does not [01:12] which signifies that it's an older version of the file [01:12] friskd: yea go ahead and have it out in public. noone cares about you anyways it shouldn't be a problem [01:13] <_r00t_> nrdb: no [01:13] Are you looking at a thumbnail?

[02:24] Don_Rad: do you have enough space in your hard disk? [02:24] Hi, I want to share my home folder with my windows users folder (i want my windows home folder to be my home folder in ubuntu), I have created a symbolic link to my home folder using: (cd /home; sudo mv robin r; sudo ln -sT /media/HP/Users/Robin Robin; sudo chown robin:robin robin) I want to know if this all I need to do to share the folder, or if I have to make sure that the /media/HP is automounted every time I login and if I need to do something special fo [02:24] r other non-admin users for them to share their home folders too (chown etc.) Thanks [02:24] quixotedon yes [02:25] Don_Rad: going linux only? or dual booting? [02:25] dr-willis dual [02:25] !nomodeset | kcm1700 [02:25] kcm1700: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen.

[02:26] I have these orange circles around my terminal window that allow for easy moving/resizing, but they will not go away. My computer was asleep and when I came back it had it on it. [02:26] Don_Rad: go to ubuntu-manual.org [02:26] all of a sudden, i've lost some icons. [02:26] and sound no longer works in firefox. [02:26] ActionParsnip: Thanks a lot. I'll try that [02:26] robinsh: you cant really keep a linux home on a ntfs filesystem [02:26] is this a known problem? === cantonic_ is now known as cantonic [02:26] Don_Rad: www.ubuntu-manual.org [02:26] robinsh: ntfs is too limuted [02:27] bjorkintosh: try closing the browser and restarting it [02:27] kcm1700, funny - i just read a link tonight about kernel devs being unhappy with vbox kernel code (it's from Oct 11) http://linux.slashdot.org/story/11/10/11/1845226/linux-kernel-developer-declares-virtualbox-driver-crap [02:27] thanks ActionParsnip. [02:28] i not only did that, i restarted the entire computer. [02:28] and still, nothing. [02:28] dr-willis: what are the biggest shortcomings for ntfs filesystem as my home folder? [02:28] dr-willis: my hard disk is sata and i forgot what sort of file system i chose when formatting (i used windows first) but it must be ntfs, do you have any clue if we can change the format? [02:28] robinsh, don't do it. [02:28] quixotedon, you might have to start over. [02:28] robinsh: you cant chown ir chmod stuff on ntfs.. [02:28] back the data up, reformat, and voila. [02:28] bjorkintosh: why? [02:29] robinsh, is it that you want to share information with your windows system? [02:29] there was this program that shows the disk usage graphically, what was its name? [02:30] I want to share documents and downloads with ubuntu and windows, I guess I can just make symbolic links to those directories only eh? [02:30] quixotedon there's no problem using ubuntu at all, just i like to use internet services with an usb internet device, (if you look arround google: BAT Banda Ancha Telcel you will know what device i'm talking about ) [02:30] because something has filled up my hard drive twice today, and I have no idea what [02:30] Smj: disk usage analyzer [02:30] no, it had a shorter name [02:30] bjorkintosh: try: killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse; rm ~/.pulse-cookie [02:31] bjorkintosh: yes [02:31] Don_Rad: i'm living in the same country with you, you mean the coverage or the internet connection? [02:31] quixotedon: also, how do I start that from console? [02:31] robinsh, you might be better off designating a special space for sharing. [02:31] dash (windows button) type "disk usage analyzer" [02:32] smj: you can also try "disk utility" to check your hard disk [02:32] robinsh: i link videos to /media/eindows/videos yes.. [02:33] ActionParsnip, and then rerun pulseaudio? [02:33] quixotedon: you're not being very helpful, or maybe I'm just too tired [02:33] bjorkintosh: i see what you mean but special spaces are a pain to deal with on windows [02:33] Why does it seem so hard to get the cursor in the right spot to change the size of a window? [02:33] quixotedon i mean: on win7, the BAM Movistar has drivers to set up the device, but on linux i just plugged in and didn't work and neither got internet connections [02:33] Hey guys someone please tell me which site is the md5sum for ubuntu 11.10? [02:34] Don_Rad: okay, the same thing also happened to me as i'm also using a usb mobile broadband device (zte) [02:34] when i install ubuntu and then the kde packages my fonts turn really small, but when i install kubuntu my fonts are normal, why is this? [02:34] robinsh, so create it in windows, and mount it rw in ubuntu. [02:35] zte is iusacell or unefon rigth? [02:35] kdevil. [02:35] or are you using telcel or movistar? [02:35] bjorkintosh: it will rerun itself after a few seconds, then try some sound stuff like vlc etc [02:35] hello all [02:35] ? [02:36] ActionParsnip, regular sounds worked just fine. [02:36] Don_Rad: i'm using smart fren local operator on zte model ac2726i EV-DO [02:36] what wasn't working, was sound from firefox. [02:36] how can I install drivers to play dvd, flash player etc [02:36] bjorkintosh: in flash you mean? [02:36] tentative theory on my crashes: they occur on heavy io on drives connected to the sata card. any thoughts on how to test this? [02:36] !dvd | etzerd [02:36] etzerd: Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [02:37] ActionParsnip, yeah. your fix worked though. [02:37] thanks a bunch. [02:37] etzerd: if you enable the partner repo you can install adobe-flashplugin [02:37] so i guess it's a similar solution with unity... i need to get rid of the configs and restart it. [02:37] bjorkintosh: np man [02:37] etzerd: the simplest way is (if you have internet connection), try playing the file then ubuntu will search for the right codec/missing plugin for playing it === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [02:38] quixotedon so any idea to set up and make it work ? === dualcore_ is now known as dualcore [02:39] Don_Rad: are you using 11.04 or 11.10? [02:39] 11.10 [02:40] by the way, the best desktop (GNOME Shell) i've even seen before [02:40] Don_Rad: gnome shell is a shel, it runs on gnome desktop ;) === sergio_ is now known as Guest9258 [02:41] Don_Rad: if it is so, then just go to "Network Connection" then go to tab "Mobile Broadband" then Add (type in the information needed for your mobile broadband) then check "Connect automatically" then close the window. After that you can wait for a while, the connection icon on the right top corner will look for the signal then you'll get a notification when it's already connected [02:42] Don_Rad: frankly speaking, 11.10 is much reliable and faster to connect when using a usb mobile broadband device [02:43] I'm looking for the linux equivalent of Mac's Quicksilver. Does such a thing exist? === sanjid|away is now known as sanjid [02:43] edbian, what does quicksilver do? [02:43] /join #bumblebee [02:44] oops sorry [02:44] bjorkintosh, Umm, it's one of those desktop search things. You type in some string and it looks up files, program names, contacts, recent emails, im conversations, etc === quixotedon is now known as don_quixote [02:44] edbian, unity does that, i think. [02:45] Hi all. I just unmounted and then reformatted a flash drive using the Disk Utility and after removing the drive and plugging it back in it won't mount as a filesystem even though the Disk utility detects it. Help? [02:45] edbian, ubuntu 11.10 comes with unity by default. [02:45] bjorkintosh, ? it does? Are there any standalone apps? I don't generally use unity [02:45] well. by force. [02:46] edbian, i don't know of any others. [02:46] don_quixote i'll try ..........rebooting [02:46] bjorkintosh, I am away of 11.10 and unity :) Just didn't know it could do this [02:46] edbian: You can install Gnome shell if you want. [02:46] bjorkintosh, ok thanks [02:46] edbian, it takes some getting used to. [02:46] Mr_Whiskey, does gnome-shell do this? [02:46] edbian: Do what? [02:46] JokesOnYou77: did you safetly remove the device before you pulled it out? [02:46] bjorkintosh, I use arch with awesome on my other system [02:46] ah i see. [02:46] * Mr_Whiskey is an Arch user as well [02:46] Mr_Whiskey, mac quicksilver functionality [02:46] :D [02:46] edbian: Gnome-Do might be able to do that. You may also be able to configure Launchy to do that for you, Launchy can do almost anything [02:46] is there some way to remove the status portion of the message menu? [02:46] i had an arch setup once. [02:46] edbian: i guess 'dash' button really works the same but might be only limited to apps and files [02:46] edbian: I am not sure if it does or not. [02:47] JokesOnYou77, Thanks :) [02:47] ActionParsnip: ...probably not. But I have Safely Removed it and re-plugged it since... [02:47] Don_Rad: good luck!

I've tested it with AAC's that are for songs released a month ago, and consequently without DRM, and there's no luck. I have installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras package. It worked while in 11.04, and ceased working upon upgrade to 11.10. I searched the documentation, and the only instructions are for ubuntu 6.10 and thus unlikely to help. Any ideas on how to fix this? === l is now known as Guest82342 [02:48] JokesOnYou77: please remember to ALWAYS use the safetly remove feature. It is there for a reason [02:48] ActionParsnip: dmesg? [02:48] JokesOnYou77: its a terminal command. run: dmesg | tail -n 10 after inserting the stick [02:48] ActionParsnip: what's the difference between 'eject' and safely remove?? [02:48] JokesOnYou77: have you also tried manually mounting the partition [02:49] don_quixote: I believe saftely remove unmounts stuff as well. Not sure tbh [02:49] ActionParsnip: dmseg is just giving a bunch of messages from the g15daemon, nothing else [02:50] my waste basket, home, and folder icons went missing the other day.

[02:51] I have a process that opens a tcp listening socket, accepts a connection, and then the process is forcably killed, obviously not gracefully terminating the connection. At this point if I try to restablish a listening socket on the same port it fails. Is there a way to forcably clear the zombie connections on that port, and free the port for listening again? (aside from waiting a couple or so minutes after which it works again) [02:51] t2mahesh, a laptop with i5 processor which you like very much. [02:51] my computer isnt always on.. was kinda hoping someone had a dedicated host i could use.. its a really small script.. [02:52] not all laptops are listed on ubuntu tested hardware area [02:52] SynJu, why not run the script on the 'another' server itself? [02:52] SynJu: Any reason you can't just run cron on the other server? [02:52] JokesOnYou77: does the device and its partitions show in the output of: sudo fdisk -l [02:52] ok, going to try a reboot. Lesson learned, always Safely Remove :P [02:52] why does it have to be executed outside of it? [02:52] JokesOnYou77, JokesOnYou. [02:53] and the system configs are not listed, m interested in VAIO. if any one can suggest a good model [02:53] the other server is as much as i can afford.. i cant afford dedicated hosting in south africa and i dont have a credit card either... [02:53] :/ [02:53] t2mahesh, it shouldn't matter too much i think. [02:53] t2mahesh: the ones from system76 come preloaded with it :) [02:53] ActionParsnip: /dev/sdb does show up there [02:53] SynJu, what precisely is the nature of the task?

[03:31] can any1 please tell me if it is safe for me to switch the default policies to DROP in this firewall? I don't want to be locked out [03:31] http://pastebin.com/a2LcB3Z7 [03:31] i use ssh to access the server [03:32] ActionParsnip,,, when i open the sound in system settings,, all the boxes for input, output are empty [03:33] HI all! Is there an app for merging addresses in thunderbird? eg, two entries have the same name, one has a phone number and the other an email addr, so combine them? [03:34] dsynders, I doubt it [03:35] can any1 please tell me if it is safe for me to switch the default policies to DROP in this firewall? I don't want to be locked out [03:35] http://pastebin.com/a2LcB3Z7 [03:36] where can I look if an upstart script failed to start? [03:36] urlin2u, Rats! My addr list has all sorts of these "duplicates", probably from synching with my visor. [03:36] Im trying to get kde working on ubuntu 11.10. I think it's all working but the pager widget doesnt seem to want to work. The rest of the widgets Ive tried work ok but pager wont show up when I drag it onto the screen [03:39] Im sorry dave, I'm afraid i can't do that. [03:42] I'm having issues with my Ubuntu Server 11.10 sound [03:42] It claims to be playing sound but no matter what i do i cannot hear it [03:43] can anyone steer me in the right direction? [03:46] hello [03:47] need help [03:47] e [03:47] i've forgotten my ubuntu password [03:47] SOS [03:47] h3lp [03:48] fuck you [03:48] congratulations [03:48] pussy [03:48] psyche, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword [03:49] ooh, not the regular chat you get here... [03:49] root shell prompt is asking for the password as well [03:49] Problem: gtk theme and icons fail to load every "first login" from boot. They revert to an ugly "classic" theme. Logging out and back in fixes the problem, but it is still wrong ever "first login" [03:50] can anyone help me compile a program from a tarball? [03:50] !pl | damian [03:50] damian: Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. [03:50] PeterP: have you followed the guide in !compile yet? [03:50] #urlin2u [03:50] h3lp anyone [03:50] psyche, look at the link. [03:51] aeon-ltd: hi. I have been following http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/softinstall.html but getting a couple of errors and not sure what they mean === B0g4r7__ is now known as B0g4r7 [03:51] i've looked at the link.. but my root shell is asking for password as well\ [03:51] !source | PeterP [03:51] PeterP: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [03:51] psyche, look closer [03:51] !compile | PeterP [03:51] PeterP: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first). Also read !checkinstall [03:52] psyche, that is the way its done the only way. [03:52] according to the link you've provided.. the root shell prompt will not ask for the password, but mine is asking for it.. [03:52] psyche, did you set a root password [03:52] no [03:52] someone did. ;) [03:53] thanks dr_willis. I was here last week and couldn't get a up to date version from apt-get. possibly the same problem with compiling, I may be missing a package it depends on [03:53] dsnyders: You could try to export it to xml (or someting) and play around with bash/sed/awk [03:53] psyche, if you type in passwd username you get a password needed, username is the username. [03:53] thats fine but the first thing it is asking for is the password.. [03:53] what to do? [03:54] PeterP: build-dep option to apt get. pulls in all needed dev packages to compile somthing [03:54] psyche: if you run: sudo -i you will get an interactive sudo session (root console). Is this what you need? [03:54] dr_willis: so 'sudo apt-get install build-dep' ? [03:55] psyche, are you really following this you would of had to had the root cli open to anwer this fast. [03:55] aptget build-dep foo [03:55] i think [03:55] #ActionParsnip: sudo commands require password which i've lost [03:55] psyche, the password it asks for when you use sudo is your own user pw, not a root pw... [03:55] psyche, ah, nevermind [03:55] psyche: if you don't add the # it will highlight [03:55] #Madpilot: I've lost the password [03:55] both root and mine [03:56] psyche: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword will let you reset your password [03:56] how do i install firefox 7? [03:56] psyche: Oh, you set root password... what Ubuntu are you using? [03:56] thanks dr_willis. how can I check I have a "functional glibc/pthreads development environment" ? I installed geany... [03:56] Ubuntu 11.04 [03:57] dr_willis: its given me 'cannot find a source package for foo' [03:57] psyche: if you chroot into the system, you might be able to reset the root password by sudo -s and then passwd [03:57] PeterP: no idea. i rarely compile stuff anymore. what are you compiling [03:57] but you have to do that from the live cd [03:57] PeterP: foo is an example name....... [03:58] is there any instant solution guys.. i m at my school pc.. [03:58] and tyhe live cd is at my home [03:58] i'm trying to compile powertop-1.98 as I havent been able to get it from a repository. *doh* what would I put instead of foo? sorry, still a bit green [03:59] !info powertop [03:59] powertop (source: powertop): Linux tool to find out what is using power on a laptop. In component main, is extra. Version 1.97-2 (oneiric), package size 121 kB, installed size 372 kB [03:59] build dep works for stuff in the repos.. [03:59] hi...i seem to have some problem with my keyboard in ubuntu 11.10. when coding with SDL/OpenGL when i write SDL_KEYDOWN I don't get the desired actions. only SDL_KEYUP actions are recognized. [03:59] apt-get build-dep powertop [03:59] how can this be fixed? [04:00] psyche, are you locked out of ubuntu or on the desktop and just forgot the password? [04:00] dr_willis / qin: powertop version 1.97-2 (oneiric) - I can still install it in natty tho? [04:00] so as in when i press down a key, the actions that are supposed to happen when i release that key happen when pressing down on it. [04:00] ican open the desktop [04:01] I deleted a partition and wrote over with another filing system, now it is unalloted space. What should I do to recover these files? Scalpal? [04:01] PeterP: Not recommended, but yes, you could. [04:01] build dep pulls ineeded stuff to compile newer versions. hopefully...n [04:02] dr_willis: wow, I have already tried to install everything required for powertop but that command gave another 13 packages... [04:02] psyche, have you actually tried the recovery and to the root cli from the link, you answered really fast. [04:02] djslim: Start with testdisk to recover older partition table. [04:02] qin: main reason why not recommended?? [04:02] #urlin2u: i tried all this earlier.. [04:02] PeterP: Dependencies. [04:03] the last optionm is the IRC [04:03] psyche, so you can get to the desltop sounds like you actually seta root password, which is not advised thts a guess though. [04:03] desktop* [04:04] school pc was not setup by me.. [04:04] bbl [04:04] psyche, you might check with the IT at school then. [04:05] okk.. [04:05] thnx [04:06] qin / dr_willis: k, thanks. I previously got to 'make' point, and just tried again a few minutes ago. make now gives 'nothing to be done for 'all' ' and then sudo make install gives 'cannot stat 'nl.mo' followed by [nl.inst] Error 1 (ignored) [04:13] Hello, which file system should I use on Ubuntu Server edition if I am going to be installing a bittorrent client on the server machine? [04:14] EPops, I used ext3 [04:14] EPops: the default (ext4 I think) [04:14] or that [04:14] EPops: ext4 or ext3 [04:16] I am new to Ubuntu and Linux in general and want to set up a home server, and read about XFS vs ext3, I read XFS is for larger files. Should I consider that as well for using bittorrent and streaming videos to a PS3, or ext3/4 will be sufficient? [04:17] hardware has a big factor in that [04:17] i have an older iphone that doesnt mount itself like my newer ones do [04:17] not just the filiing system [04:17] any idea how I go about doing it? [04:17] ipod* [04:18] hi, I tried to get xchat from http://www.uplinklabs.net/projects/xchat-aqua/ [04:18] but got an error 404 [04:18] anyone know where to get Xchat Aqua? [04:18] EPops: I'd use ext4 or btrfs [04:18] koala`: sudo apt-get install xchat [04:18] Thanks for the tips thus far. I actually am repurposing an old laptop with Core 2 Duo, 2GB Ram. [04:18] xangua I'm not using linux [04:19] xangua I need a website [04:19] koala`: and you ask here becaouse... [04:19] because* [04:19] Oo [04:19] koala`: looks like its down, try again later. Why not just use xchat? [04:19] koala`: we can help with that :) [04:19] xangua for the reason I just gave, the website appears down [04:19] CarlFK I need an xchat for mac === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [04:20] ummm.... site is not down for xchat [04:20] koala`: first you need to install ubuntu .. then xchat, no problem :) [04:20] koala`: then why ask in here for mac support? [04:20] CarlFK It doesn't have to be aqua, and it's for a friend with a mac who won't be installing ubuntu [04:20] He is old and sick [04:20] Also, will LVM be necessary for a single HDD laptop, or if I plan on adding an external HDD should I consider LVM? I want the drives to be separate, not a single drive. [04:21] koala`: i suggest you ask in a mac channel [04:21] ActionParsnip not in freenode? [04:21] EPops: best to just go with the defaults. lots of though has gone into them to make sure they work. [04:22] koala`: #mac or #apple may help [04:22] svn is also up [04:22] koala`: #homebew maybe. (guessing there is such a place) [04:23] CarlFK: Thanks, I am new so maybe later when I learn more I will play around with LVM. [04:24] I'm not sure if I'm hoping I've found the problem or not. If I have, I know what I have to fix and can stop looking. But if it's this, then it's going to be a pain to fix. [04:25] hello [04:26] i have a problem with virtual keyboard [04:26] i'm running ubuntu 11.10 on tablet PC (without h/w keyboard) [04:26] when the screen is locked, i can't enter password to unlock [04:26] how can i enable virtual keyboard while in unlock screen dialog? [04:27] hi is there any app for put the data and time on the photos? [04:28] photodata: maybe shotwell [04:28] Hi, I have this flash drive labeled floppy0 that's stuck on my filesystem somehow. It's always listed and never leaves. It first came on when I accidently removed the installation flash drive when I was first installing ubuntu without safely removing or ejecting it. Is there a way I can remove it from being listed in Nautilus or something? Is there a way I can dismount it? [04:28] actionparship ok i will try that app [04:29] thank you [04:29] is there any good alternative to acls? [04:30] crassus: if you run: mount do you see it listed? [04:31] no ActionParsnip [04:31] clicking on it via Nautilus says it's /dev/sdb [04:31] hi- how can i change my display resolution settings? currently says the monitor is unknown and display unclaimed with GLX missing and segmentation fault..... also in system info it mentions a vesa driver when i think it should be sis one...? [04:31] "mount: special device /dev/sdb does not exist [04:32] is there a way to block a specific package from being installed from a specific repo? Same package is available from two different third-party repos, and one of them has a - in the middle of the version number and the other has a ~. Because of that character, apt-get/synaptic is finding the older version instead of the newer one. [04:32] I tried setting a pin on that package for that repo and dropping the pin weight, but that doesn't seem to help, it's still selecting the older version [04:33] really bizarre [04:33] I've tried everything [04:33] rm -rf /dev/sdb [04:33] how can i get rid of this error DWARF-2 expression error: DW_OP_reg operations must be used either alone or in conjuction with DW_OP_piece. [04:33] DWARF-2 expression error: DW_OP_reg operations must be used either alone or in conjuction with DW_OP_piece. [04:33] how DWARF-2 expression error: DW_OP_reg operations must be used either alone or in conjuction with DW_OP_piece. [04:33] sorry [04:33] linuxuz3r: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:33] hi all, what's the difference between 'eject' and 'safely remove' a device? [04:34] Hey I need help installing Ubuntu Server 11.04... I'm using a USB to install, used UNetBootin to get the image on the drive. Though when I try to install, it complains it can't install because there is no CD drive. Any solutions? [04:35] chiggins: What OS are you using to set up the USB drive? [04:35] chiggins : there will be a option for the boot from usb device try choosing that [04:36] pnorman_desktop: I'm using Arch linux. [04:36] Oh - are you having problems installing from your computer to the USB, or installing from USB to where you want to install ubuntu server? [04:36] ActionParsnip: any clue how to get this thing off ? [04:36] how does nautilus keep it's listings on the side pane ? [04:37] Installing from the USB to my server [04:37] Synaptic spits out this error: E: postfix: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 75 [04:37] E: bsd-mailx: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured [04:37] E: cardstories: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [04:37] Ah. Is it booting from the USB drive at all, or is it failing before that? [04:38] oh, think I figured it out. I tried to drop the priority on the repo with the older package only for that package... which had a side effect of telling it to always use that repo for that package apparently [04:38] It's booting from the USB, but fails. The wiki is tellign me to add 'cdrom-detect/try-usb=true' to the boot line, so I'm gonna try that [04:38] quixotedon: safely remove - closes all open files to the device, syncs it, then ejects. eject just ejects [04:39] genii-around: thanks!! [04:40] pnorman_desktop: yeah added 'cdrom-detect/try-usb=true' to the boot line, but I'm getting "there was a problem reading data from the cd-rom drive" ... o_O [04:43] hello, using ubuntu to copy 140.4GB directory from one internal SATA drive to a 2nd internal SATA drive, it started out at 50.0 MB/sec and now is at 9.0 MB/sec [04:43] what java is now used in ubuntu? [04:43] it has been constantly going slower and slower, is this because of heat orrr whats going on here [04:44] dcc [04:44] six88six: what is the fs type on the target ? [04:45] six88six: I seem to remember something like that copying to ntfs [04:45] I have an issue. Its complex so I will just link you guys to the forum post I made in the Ubuntu Forums that nobody answered: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11415914#post11415914 [04:45] yeah its ntfs, using a live cd [04:46] i had no other choice on how to copy it i guess [04:46] six88six: guessing you need to read it with win or mac? [04:47] Even 50 MB/s seems slow for internal to internal [04:48] pnorman_desktop: that's about as fast as my drives go.. maybe 80 on a good day :) [04:48] Although I guess when you've spent a couple of days debugging a subtle intermittent potentially drive related problem you start to see them everywhere [04:49] six88six: http://clonezilla.org/ if the source is also ntfs, it should be as fast as your drives can go [04:49] CarlFK, it was a win2k8 DC with 2 db's on it, 1 was only 1GB the other 140GB [04:49] just being safe before putting an old image back on [04:49] http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1485315 implies that copying to/from NTFS volumes can slow down [04:49] johnnyzero: can you give the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh [04:50] johnnyzero: the images aren't hugely useful [04:50] six88six: http://clonezilla.org/ check it out. maybe not for this time, but have it ready for next time [04:50] Alright I will. I am on 10.10 so it should be maybe able to tell why it works. [04:50] thnks [04:51] http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=694d14ec5aa53d87538f05bd9aa7895c3a2acd63 [04:52] ActionParsnip, that is the output from my current set up which works. [04:52] johnnyzero: so why is there an issue if it works ok? [04:53] Because it works on what I'm using now which is 10.10. It does not work on 11.10. [04:53] pnorman_desktop, interesting thanks [04:53] johnnyzero: then run it in Oneiric and give the output [04:53] Alright, let me just get a Live Download [04:53] Hi all, I recently installed Ubuntu 11.10. I would like to make Adobe Reader as my default PDF viewer. When I right click on files I can choose to "Open with Adobe Reader", but if I go to Properties -> Open With, I can't select Adobe Reader anywhere (nor can I add it through a terminal command option as I used to). Any ideas? [04:54] six88six: I use windows on my desktop and ubuntu on my server, I found samba was fast to the point of saturating my gigabit connection. Don't know if that's an option for your case [04:54] the OS is toast currently [04:55] used a live cd, perhaps i couldve tried hirens [04:55] minixp [04:55] Having done restores on both windows and ubuntu, I can say that ubuntu is a lot easier to restore from [04:56] ActionParsnip, I will brb. I have Lubuntu on a USB [04:56] 11.10 [05:02] so im setting up my mailserver [05:02] and i can receive emails, but i keep getting relay access denied erorrs when i try and send an email [05:03] grateful: sounds like you misconfigured the relay stuff [05:04] i need help but in private not related to ubuntu [05:04] ActionParsnip, there is no way of telling from a Live Boot. For some reason the newer Live Boots don't seem to include alsa-info. [05:05] johnnyzero: redownload the script, or copy the one from the internal partition [05:06] johnnyzero: ubuntu doesn't come with alsa-info the script is downloaded from the alsa site [05:06] Ahh Yeah I put that script into the live boot of Lubuntu and it popped up as can't find [05:06] Resistance, got a minute to help me out? [05:07] Perhaps I should go onto IRC in Lubuntu 11.10 so I could tell you exactly my findings [05:07] What does this Synaptic error mean? http://pastebin.com/7ZGJeFWs [05:08] johnnyzero: same difference, the underlying sound system is identical [05:08] Hmm yet I can get Microphone support on 10.10 but not 11.10 [05:08] Thats really strange [05:08] johnnyzero: you can mount the partition using the file browser [05:08] grateful: unfortunately no, but i can't really help you anyways - i dont use my own mail servers, so i've never had to configuire a relay server - but the error its triggering suggests a configuration error if you arent able to use the relay [05:08] ok [05:09] how can i check what version am i running? [05:09] alvin2_: version of what? [05:10] johnnyzero: 11.10 was the first Ubuntu (since 8.04, my first Ubuntu) I have encountered that did not work perfectly out-of-the-box. My monitor, keyboard, and synaptic touchpad all had to be configured manually.

[05:19] Evening. [05:19] * tMH- is gone. nsf [05:20] johnnyzero, how would I switch to one of those without restarting [05:20] !bug [05:20] ? [05:20] If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [05:20] I'd do that but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong to reproduce the problem [05:20] I never file bug reports because my bug reports are essentially useless [05:20] ubuntu-bug gcc DWARF-2 expression error: DW_OP_reg operations must be used either alone or in conjuction with DW_OP_piece.

I have a pci wireless card that ubuntu recognizes and seems to have firmware for, but it claims the device is 'disconnected' [05:21] ooh ok ActionParsnip [05:21] Can someone tell me what the difference is between an S script and a K script in the /etc/rc.0 directory? [05:21] The device works fine in Win7 so I figure it is a driver issue...any ideas or am I missing something very basic in wireless networking? [05:21] Cheap_Scotsman, I've had this issue before, let me google it again. It's a config file you have to change one line in [05:21] It seems like K scripts are for stopping things? And S scripts are for starting things? But why is there a distinction? [05:22] Cheap_Scotsman: what is the output of: sudo lshw -C network; sudo rfkill list; lsb_release -a [05:22] r000t_mlt: Appreciate it, Ubuntu does recognize my MB wireless device [05:22] Cheap_Scotsman: use a pastebin to hold the output [05:22] Yeah you need to change something from false to true [05:22] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/CCuXmMvz [05:23] in oneiric when trying to use a keyboard sortcut to run "soffice mydocument.ods" it sometimes (like half the times) does not appear in the dock/launcher and there for is not in my alt+tab list. This worked perfectly in natty. (the program always launched though with my file as expected). [05:23] hi, can anybody help me? I am running oneiric and I have lost all traces of unity and all window decorations [05:23] Oh wait... Cheap_Scotsman is it saying "Wireless device not managed" too? [05:24] johnnyzero: try: wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh [05:24] I am only running this terminal because I happened to have a folder on the desktop, so from there I go to /usr/bin and opened gnome-terminal [05:24] actionparsnip: Not on my ubuntu build (no net) but rfkill shows nothing blocked in the wireless LAN [05:24] ok [05:24] johnnyzero: I've seen this so I have it on my dropbox [05:24] Cheap_Scotsman: ok then the other output will help [05:24] johnnyzero, Nvidia settings shows all three devices but Displays only shows one [05:25] r000t_mlt When I click on the wireless tab I simply see the device I want to used greyed out, along with it reconizing the driver, ad under that it says "disconnected" [05:25] Cheap_Scotsman: if you hook up to a WIRED connection you can get full updates and it may make things work, you may also find the driver is offered to you [05:25] just running unity on the shell gives this error: Compiz (opengl) - Fatal: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing [05:25] Compiz (opengl) - Fatal: Software rendering detected [05:25] Compiz (bailer) - Info: Ensuring a shell for your session [05:25] kandinski@desire:/usr/bin$ [05:25] (metacity:12508): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap", [05:25] kandinski: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:25] sorry for pasting here, I have no access to a pastebin [05:26] actionparsnip: Unfortunately I have no wired connections (in an apartment), I can always download one on my netbook though and transfer it. [05:26] can anybody please unban me or whatever? I only have a shell and really don't kno what to do or how to solve this problem [05:26] for audio problems I installed Pulse Audio Volume Control and was able to use my devices [05:26] actionparsnip, I am surprised that it recognizes the driver (realtek RTL8187) yet does not seem to recognize the device. [05:27] ActionParsnip: it saved the file but didn't upload anything. [05:27] Like the last one did [05:27] Cheap_Scotsman: if the driver is in the system then it will be used. Just because it detects the hardware correctly doesn't mean the driver files are available [05:27] It also recognizes exactly zero of my proprietary drivers in the system overall [05:28] johnnyzero: run the script yourself, then upload [05:28] ok [05:28] how do i upgrade ubuntu from lynx to ocelot [05:28] !upgrade [05:28] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [05:28] actionparsnip: Im thinking perhaps I should try to reinstall, as during the install I think I mistakingly pointed Ubuntu towards my onboard wireless, which doesn't work, rather than my PCI device [05:29] Cheap_Scotsman: doesn't matter, the drivers aren't installed so it won't be used. [05:29] ActionParsnip: it isn't executing [05:29] linux4u, you have to go relese by release, wait for 12.04 for a firect upgrade [05:29] Cheap_Scotsman: a clean install won't do anything new [05:29] I typed sh alsa-info.sh [05:29] Nothing happened [05:29] also tried double clicking the file. It is set to executable. [05:30] actionparsnip: So most people have to fumble through looking for compatible drivers after a clean install then? Or is this an error specific to certian compatibility issues? [05:31] Cheap_Scotsman: sometimes yes, if you think about the vast array of possible wireless cards, the install media would be hundreds of DVDs to accommodate [05:31] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/EyxCyYbC [05:31] Cheap_Scotsman: some wifis work out of the box, some take a tiny bit of work. [05:32] actionparsnip: Yeah. So my best bet then would be to try to find a driver, slap that on a USB and install? I assume installing drivers involves some code [05:32] johnnyzero: then you need to download the file to that folder [05:32] how do you activate drivers? [05:32] Cheap_Scotsman: it can sometimes. Sometimes a simple update makes it work. Is the system a laptop? [05:33] ActionParsnip: it is in the home folder. So I am running it from there. [05:33] katyl, look in additional drivers first. [05:33] johnnyzero: if you run: ls do you see the file? [05:33] actionparsnip: Desktop, PCI wireless device. I looked it up and Linksys doesn't make Linux drivers for this model [05:33] ActionParsnip: yes [05:33] It is there in green [05:33] The other files are purple [05:33] Cheap_Scotsman: ok what chip does it use? [05:34] Anyone try Linux on an MSI Windpad 110W yet? [05:34] johnnyzero: then run: ./alsa-info.sh [05:34] alright [05:34] ActionParsnip: it still just went to the next line. Nothing happened. [05:34] actionparsnip: I would have to look it up unless you mean Realtek (listed under Ubuntu's network recognition) [05:34] how do I force a swap format? [05:35] I have my swap partition disabled and not doing any swapping at all... [05:35] HoNgOuRu, open gparted and turn it on,. [05:35] http://pastebin.com/BBGN9BjX [05:35] there are no drivers shown [05:36] Cheap_Scotsman: sudo lshw -C network will state the cheap [05:36] urlin2u, gparted throw an error when trying to format the partition as swap [05:37] urlin2u, something like "mkswap "" /dev/sda6" failed or something [05:37] johnnyzero: does: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh still say access denied? [05:37] ActionParsnip: nope it uploaded now [05:37] johnnyzero: coolies [05:38] ttp://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=baf2da75821eb3466446f717a2e37ca8b2e98d4c [05:38] http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=baf2da75821eb3466446f717a2e37ca8b2e98d4c [05:38] there [05:38] im upgrading my lucid lynx === SomeoneWeird is now known as SomeoneWeirdAFK [05:38] actionparsnip, Under configuration? [05:39] urlin2u, I get an resource busy when trying to do a mkswap on the partition, how can I force it? also it is not mounted [05:40] actionparsnip, Under configuration one is b43 driverversion 3.0.0-12 generic, another comes up as rtl8187 driverversion = 3.0.0-12 generic [05:40] ActionParsnip: I believe Alsa isn't the problem though. I think it might actually be Pulse Audio. === Dom_Kitty is now known as Feline_Sapient [05:40] HoNgOuRu, I think I would figure out why it will not build or gon rather then forcing it. [05:40] go on* [05:40] ActionParsnip: I knew Alsa was recognizing it because in Alsamixer in 11.10 it shows up. === barna is now known as bipul === zero is now known as Guest60075 [05:41] urlin2u, how? [05:41] HoNgOuRu, a swap is a partition as well yoiu can't make one in one unless you kake one as a file. [05:42] make* [05:42] I know, I want to reformat it as swap, cause in gparted its listed as "unknown" or filesystem "none" one of those [05:42] Cheap_Scotsman: so its a broadcom 43xx ? [05:43] HoNgOuRu, take a screen c=shot of gparted and imagebin it. [05:43] roger.... [05:43] johnnyzero: is the camera set as the output device? [05:43] !broadcom | Cheap_Scotsman [05:43] Cheap_Scotsman: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx === Kasjopaja23111 is now known as Kasjopaja === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest58214 [05:44] actionparsnip, one is Broadcom one is Realtek, I think the realtek is my PCI device but not entirely sure [05:45] actionparsnip, Wait just saw "Bus info: PCI" under the broadcom so I assume that is it. [05:45] how can i activate drivers that dont show up in additional drivers? [05:46] ActionParsnip: When you put in a mixer it shows no input devices at all. As for Output Devices, all I can see is the ATI Radeon HD Sound Drivers. [05:46] katyl, drivers are not my area but posting details like what drivers and cards will be helpful. [05:46] Cheap_Scotsman: the guide shows how to enable it using the install CD [05:47] urlin2u, http://imagebin.org/182016 [05:47] cant find lampp, lamp, xampp or xamp in the repos for oneiric. whats the best packaged web server? [05:47] johnnyzero: is the webcam part of the system or is it a usb device? [05:48] ActionParsnip: It is a USB device. I am on a Desktop PC. [05:48] The device is the Playstation Eye. [05:48] johnnyzero: unplug the device and reboot, may help [05:48] ActionParsnip: Tried that a couple of times when I had it. [05:48] when in doubt, reboot [05:49] when in more doubt, reformat [05:49] HoNgOuRu, if you delete it then you should be fine, but it will change the partitions above it to a lower number. [05:49] urlin2u, that will hit the grub and other configs I have [05:49] isn't there another way? [05:49] HoNgOuRu, just run sudo update-grub [05:50] mmm....ok [05:51] What does amdcccle do behind the scenes to change screen positioning and such? [05:51] urlin2u, cant do it, my SO is installed on a partition below it... [05:51] urlin2u: i have a SiS 661 card. in my system info it currently says vesa though [05:51] Right now, amdcccle is segfaulting when I try to set multiple desktop. [05:51] got a restart for that [05:51] HoNgOuRu, SO? [05:51] OS [05:51] Operating System [05:51] ubuntu btw [05:52] your in ubuntu sda7 right now right? [05:52] <_r00t_> can you do a generic grub-install from a live cd without ubuntu installed ? [05:52] yes [05:53] <_r00t_> HoNgOuRu: are you sure ? [05:53] yeap, mounted here.. "/" [05:53] <_r00t_> is not sure [05:53] HoNgOuRu, if you delete the sda6 and put a swap there and run sudo update-grub you will be fine. [05:53] ok [05:53] anyone, similar to lamp server in the repos. is it possible desktop edition doesnt have a source enabled, had a look and couldnt see anything. oneiric [05:54] just don't let me delete it [05:54] it stops with a popup alert message [05:54] HoNgOuRu, you might have to put the swap uuid in fstab though is all for it to mount on boot. [05:54] <_r00t_> can you do a generic grub-install from a live cd without ubuntu installed ? [05:54] _r00t_, for what? [05:55] <_r00t_> urlin2u: for other operating systems like windows / kfreebsd [05:55] HoNgOuRu, you running live fedora? [05:55] _r00t_, wont work you need a OS with grub [05:56] nop, Im running ubuntu 11.10 [05:56] <_r00t_> urlin2u: the only os with grub installed on that system is kfreebsd [05:56] HoNgOuRu, I mean fedora, but you said it was ubuntu, not sure really, try a live cd. [05:56] does anyone have problems with unity's "rollup" on doubleclick of menu bars leaving behind an outline w/shadow of the window you just closed? [05:57] ok, thank you urlin2u [05:58] _r00t_, hehe freebsd is fun but booting another OS with it is a chore I believ not sure, have you tried easybcd from windows to buut the bsde [05:58] boot* [05:59] <_r00t_> urlin2u: I installed it but it only gives me the option to boot debian only dispite other OSs being in the system... update-grub detects nothing else ;/ So I have 2 options 1- install grub from live cd or 2 - update grub.cfg [06:00] _r00t_, I would ask at ##freebsd === dkannan|away is now known as dkannan [06:01] actionparsnip, so I tried the instructions for installing from the CD, but when I navigate through the install CD to the designated spots I can't install any packages in the software centre [06:01] actionparsnip, it simply opens up the program and doesn't allow me to install. I also have no clue how to do this via the terminal [06:02] I installed opencv 2.2 on ubuntu 11.04, how can I upgrade opencv to 2.3 ? [06:02] <_r00t_> thanks urlin2u [06:02] _r00t_, no problem, ope you get it working. [06:02] hope* [06:04] anyone got experience fast-cgi n lighttpd on 11.10 [06:04] Parsi: there may be a ppa [06:05] Cheap_scotsman: a wired link makes it easier :( [06:06] actionparsnip: I can see that. It looks as though certain drivers are all but impossible to get going without a wired connection or extensive code work. [06:06] what's ppa ActionParsnip? I'm beginer [06:06] rockband, I've got a lighttpd w/php server if that's what you're doing... [06:06] beginner * [06:06] can't remember which cgi module it uses... [06:06] I can check i guess [06:06] Cheap_scotsman: its not code, you simply use the install CD as a repo and install the packages there [06:07] I have spent so many hours now..and Lamp doesnt configure properly...do you have 11.10 running?? [06:07] Cheap_scotsman: the driver you need uses the firmware in your system, the packages used to get it are on the install CD [06:07] if a script does an echo when there isn't a terminal open, does it open a terminal? [06:08] actionparsnip, I have the install CD in, I can navigate through the files, but when I go to install the packages software centre will not let me. There is supposedly another means of doing this via a terminal but I have no idea how to do that, which is why I assume this would be easier for those familiar with "code" [06:08] rockband, yeah I'm using fastcgi [06:08] and w/11.10 [06:08] rockband, what's your issue exactly? [06:08] Cheap_scotsman: Note: Systems installed from CDROM can simply add the install CD as a package source and install bcmwl-kernel-source, automatically installing the required dependencies. [06:08] 403 then 500, now unable to cnnect on http port [06:09] btw anyone know how to adjust screen dpi? [06:09] Cheap_scotsman: just enable the install CD as a source and then it will be used as an offline repo [06:09] rockband 403 is forbidden [06:09] 403 looks like permissions [06:09] actionparsnip: How do I go about enabling it as a source? [06:09] 403 was path error [06:10] 500 was permission [06:10] but now there is no response [06:10] rockband msged you [06:10] I'll try to help in /msg [06:10] Cheap_scotsman: in software centre [06:11] Cheap_scotsman: that's why I don't see why you are looking through the CD... [06:11] actionparsnip, When I follow the first instruction in the guide for no internet installs, it instructs: If you do not have any other means of Internet access on your computer, you will have to install the bcmwl-kernel-source package from the restricted folder under ../pool/restricted/b/bcmwl on the Ubuntu install media. " [06:12] * phlak_user is standing by [06:12] actionparsnip, My understanding here is that I should navigate through the CD to that point, double click on the pack (which pulls up the software centre) and install... but I cannot do this as the install button is not clickable. [06:13] Cheap_scotsman: I pasted that text from the page I linked you. [06:14] actionparsnip, Regarding using the CD as a package source? I would love to, but I dont know how to enable such hah. [06:15] I am not able to login on my ubuntu 11.10 [06:16] harsh343, what happens when you try [06:16] Cheap_scotsman: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=Software+Sources.png [06:16] harsh343: well it might help to tell us what you see when you login. [06:16] Cheap_scotsman: notice the CD bit at the bottom? [06:16] urlin2u, they do not take my pass [06:17] actionparsnip, yes, not sure where to find this window, though. [06:17] while i enter my right password [06:17] actionparsnip, ah it's an application, found it [06:17] harsh343, you can reset the password would you like a link? [06:17] from where i reset the password ? [06:17] how can I remove installed opencv 2.2 from 11.04 ? [06:18] harsh343, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword [06:18] I want to install new version [06:18] Parsi: sudo dpkg --purge [06:19] harsh343, if your password was working then is not now it may be more then a reset option. [06:20] Blue1, I compiled it myself, does it matter? It's opencv [06:20] Parsi: how did you install it? make file? [06:20] yes, Blue1 [06:20] actionparsnip, my internet for the chat keeps dying out, just to make things more interesting. [06:21] * Blue1 has no clue what opencv is [06:21] actionparsnip, So I enabled it as a source, I'm not yet noticing a difference when I try to install the bcmwl-kernal from the CD, though perhaps I'm still not doing this correctly. [06:21] Blue1: CV: computer vision [06:21] Parsi: if you do a dpkg -l | grep does it show up> [06:22] Blue1: let me try [06:23] Blue1: it shows nothing [06:23] Parsi: what does which opencv [06:23] Parsi: say? [06:24] Anyone familiar with sourcing software from the Ubuntu 11.10 install CD? I'm trying to get a wireless card's drivers without a connection and can't figure out how to install the required packages. [06:24] Cheap_scotsman: run: sudo apt-get update first (close the thing you enabled the CD as a source in) [06:24] Blue1: it jumps to next line [06:24] actionparsnip, k [06:24] dpkg -l | grep opencv [06:25] actionparsnip, lots of errors, failed to fetch... pretty much everything [06:25] when i click on drop to root shell prompt they asked for the control-D of password i think so and when i enter my password they show login incorrect [06:25] Parsi: yeah I didn't think the dpkg would work after you told me it was in a make file. so where is it installed, in your own directory? [06:25] Cheap_scotsman: yes but did the CD spin? [06:25] urlin2u, u thr [06:25] /home/opencv2.2 [06:25] I really need help with this update-rc.d thing. Does anyone here have any experience with it? [06:25] harsh343, that work? [06:26] Parsi: okay so you have a user called opencv2.2 ? [06:26] actionparsnip, not that I noticed. [06:26] urlin2u, no [06:26] Cheap_scotsman: ok try and install the package [06:26] actionparsnip, k [06:26] harsh343, not sure myself then. [06:26] Blue1: a user? it's a folder [06:26] now what i can do ???? urlin2u [06:27] Blue1: beside Music, Downloads and other folders [06:27] Do you guys ever get on the verge of suicide answering these questions all day? [06:27] Parsi: okay - well you should be able to just delete the folder then, and start over. [06:27] Blue1: thank you [06:27] [06:27] lc-romance [06:27] urlin2u, when i enter root then after prompt open [06:28] Parsi: make sure when you delete it, you are careful. don't delete all your home directory. [06:29] actionparsnip, I now cannot access the dvd from the sidebar and it says the device is busy when I try to eject via ubuntu... could something magical be happening? [06:29] actionparsnip, I wasnt able to navigate through files as I had previously after doing sudo update. [06:30] Blue1: yes, I know :D [06:30] Parsi: i have shot off my foot, more then once. be careful out there. [06:30] urlin2u, when i use passwd username and aftere that new password they show me message Authentication token manipulation error [06:30] after* === Somefellow is now known as Silent_Samurai [06:31] password unchanged [06:31] harsh343, you use passwd your username, not username [06:32] actionparsnip, It wont let me eject the drive manually either. [06:32] harsh343, for example if you nic was the user name passwd harsh343 [06:32] your* [06:34] for ecxample passwd susan i am using this after that they aske me fir new passwod but not able to change [06:36] Cheap_scotsman: if you have the file browser in the path of the CD then it will be busy [06:36] harsh343, easier way for you is to use the GUI - if on 11.10, type users in dash search bar, click on Users and change password there [06:37] actionparsnip, I restarted so I could see the DVD in the sidebar again. Once again navigated through to the bcmwl restricted install pack and I cannot figure out how to install it. [06:37] actionparsnip, if I double click it simply opens the software centre and advises me to install through another means [06:37] Cheap_scotsman, is it a .deb file? [06:37] phlak_user, I am not able to login man [06:37] actionparsnip, .deb [06:37] harsh343, and you are changing password how? [06:38] through this http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword recovery mode [06:38] Cheap_scotsman, you can try sudo dpkg -i foo-bar.deb [06:39] harsh343, is your username susan? [06:39] phlak_user: Errors encountered while procesing foo-bar.deb [06:39] Cheap_scotsman, aha; pray pastebin those errors [06:39] Cheap_scotsman: copy the deb to your home folder and run: sudo dpkg -i /path/to/filename.deb [06:39] is it possible to stick multiple disks with differing sizes into one giant array / LVM? [06:39] phlak_user: I would if I had a connection :P [06:39] my username is volition [06:40] i m using this man [06:40] harsh343, so you would type passwd volition [06:40] ya i type this [06:40] harsh343, and you got what error? [06:40] after that they ask me to type pass [06:40] Cheap_scotsman, did you actually type foo-bar.deb or the name of the .deb file? [06:40] when i type and conform after this [06:41] phlak_user: "foo-bar" - First Ubuntu install ever. [06:41] Cheap_scotsman, hmmm... so if i had said ladygaga.deb , you wouldve typed it ;) [06:41] Authentication token manipulation error [06:41] phlak_user: More or less. [06:41] password unchanged phlak_user [06:42] does anyone know much about LVMs or RAID? [06:42] Cheap_scotsman, seriously, you need to type the actual name of the .deb file along with its complete path [06:42] I have a swap partition but though it's activated and though my swappiness is at 90, it's not being used when I do a free -m. Why is my swap partition not being used by the system? [06:43] So the Intrepid 8.10 repositories have vanished. Should I upgrade my distro to 9, is that the sane thing to do? [06:43] phlak_user, yes this is what action just mentioned, though doing so is not so easy when one is clueless on file paths in Ubuntu. [06:43] StepNjump, swap in Linux only gets used when it's needed, because as they say, unused memory is wasted memory [06:43] plz help me I am unalbe to login in ubuntu 11.10 [06:43] StepNjump, you really don't want it used the computer will slow down immensely [06:43] unable* [06:43] phlak_user: I understand now why linux scares casual users away, though I am interested enough to keep bubling through [06:43] Cheap_scotsman, ok, can you type mount in the terminal? we could find out where the DVD is mounted [06:44] phlak_user: I have the downlaod packaged copied to my home file [06:44] ok thanks diplocat [06:44] !eol | extor [06:44] extor: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [06:44] ok very good. Thanks urlin2u [06:45] StepNjump, np [06:45] extor: I suggest a clean install. You will get a much cleaner OS and you will get there faster [06:45] phlak_user, got it or not ???? [06:46] ActionParsnip, problem with a clean install is that this is an openvz template we are talking about that is configured to run Xvnc and I'm not sure I can configure xvnc in a fresh install since I'm not vnc savvy [06:47] harsh343, did you install likewise-open by any chance? [06:47] actionparsnip: I put "sudo dpkg -i/home/bcmwl-kernel-etc) in a terminal and this didnt seem to work...wrong path? [06:47] I don't no what is this [06:47] I am looking for a gratis lossless sound byte like the THX sound but to test my system [06:48] Cheap_scotsman, just type sudo dpkg -i bcmwl-kernel-etc [06:48] Thought you guys would like to know Ubuntu has actually physically damaged my $3,000 graphics card [06:48] * r000t_mlt claps [06:48] Cheap_scotsman: it will be: sudo dpkg -i /home/$USER/bcmwl*.deb [06:48] Now there are blue lines at the edges when certain colors are on screen, no matter what OS is loaded [06:48] does it on all monitors [06:48] r000t_mlt: doubt it very much [06:49] r000t_mlt, what card?

[06:49] is it EVGA by chance? [06:49] Not at all [06:49] Cheap_scotsman, thats a start, whats the error? [06:49] that sucks [06:49] Why? [06:50] EVGA has lifetime no questions asked warranty [06:50] Why would the board maker matter? [06:50] $3000 video card? wtf are you doing? modelling nuclear explosions? [06:50] diplocat: Video editing [06:50] And my dad's going to f*cking kill me [06:50] you can smash it in the street and run over it then set it on fire and evga will take it and replace it [06:50] ahh, ok, fair enough [06:50] r000t_mlt: curious of the price. Just found it in nextag for 900 USD [06:50] ActionParsnip, we bought it in 2007 [06:50] It's successor is $3,000 [06:50] r000t_mlt: ubuntu will still not damage it [06:51] r000t_mlt, its 5 years old [06:51] Then why is it doing this garbage in BIOS too? [06:51] harsh343, what did you do after which you couldnt login? [06:51] On a slightly related note, the system drive (not the redundant array I expect to fail) is clicking like a geiger counter. [06:51] murphey's law, anyone? [06:51] right now i am in recovery mode [06:51] Hopefully when my dad comes home for thanksgiving he won't ask about the edit suite...

[06:52] Check this, 42 year old man in college [06:52] <[_J-B_]> hola [06:52] r000t_mlt, if the problem's happening in BIOS as well, it's definitely a hardware issue [06:52] Going to frat parties [06:52] I there any command on recovery [06:52] mode [06:52] phlak_user: There is so much bloody text that is hard to find. [06:52] r000t_mlt: sweet, more power to him [06:52] When I reboot it next I'm switching out the DVI cables and throwing in some new monitors [06:52] harsh343: hold shift at boot and select recovery mode then select root [06:52] phlak_user: "error processing bcmwl-kernel-source, dependency problems - leaving unconfigured [06:52] again it's only when certain things are on screen [06:53] if the card is 5 years old I highly doubt it was Ubuntu, dust maybe [06:53] r000t_mlt: tried a different screen? [06:53] They're all the same screen [06:53] phlak_user: it was an error while unpacking the source. [06:53] we have like 534902348234 Samsung Syncmasters [06:53] harsh343, other than passwd username theres nothing im afraid [06:53] r000t_mlt: might be the screen then... [06:53] Tax deduction, every last one of them [06:53] What I'm pissed at the most is the failing drive [06:53] hey r00t whats the quadro like [06:53] it good? [06:53] its a 5 year old card, how long did you expect it to last? [06:53] r000t_mlt, do you have an onboard video card? try booting up using that and see if the screen has the same prob [06:53] huhhhhh [06:54] check the card in another system [06:54] r000t_mlt: if you boot to liveCD it will remove the drive from the equation [06:54] phlak_user: It would be nice if one could simply install from the CD by double clicking packs... This seems little to demand. [06:54] xxen0nxx, when it runs games, the underside of your desk becomes coated in semen, because the graphics are just that good [06:54] Cheap_scotsman, what exactly are you attempting here again? installing broadcom drivers?

[06:54] and its 2000 less [06:54] Christopher, we only got it for the 4 monitor thing. We use it primarily for video editing [06:55] phlak_user: and when I navigate through the install CD itself I get to the install packs, try to double click and simply get the software centre popping up with no option to install [06:55] test the card on another mobo [06:55] We're going to upgrade to a 4700 X2 soon. [06:55] Police took the only other computer with this kind of slot [06:55] why 4700? when the 500 series is so much better and so much easier on the wallet [06:55] Cheap_scotsman, so you could just type sudo apt-get install bcml-kernel-source [06:55] We need the 4 DVI outputs [06:55] that was a major selling point [06:55] Cheap_scotsman, if its on the installation DVD [06:55] welcome to 2011 [06:56] here lemme get a picture [06:56] Cheap_scotsman, because it probably needs the kernel sources etc [06:56] phlak_user: "errors were encountered while processing...."

[07:30] it's showes buffering [07:30] fattire what are you talking about man [07:30] ;) [07:30] phlak_user: could this be an install error in any way? That is, could re-installing do anything to make double clicking the install CD workable? [07:31] it's showing buffering on the webbrowser [07:31] ralph_, you know the "scroll up" feature- clicking on the menubar to scroll up in unity....?

[07:38] Cheap_Scotsman, a re-install would probably help fix the packaging system but you would still need to install the broadcom drivers the recommended way [07:39] truepurple, have you tried with any other player like VLC or mplayer? [07:39] Lysandius, have you tried with selecting other sessions at the login? [07:39] can anyone here help me about samba?? [07:39] can anyone here help me about samba??

[07:42] xerzaz, is that a ubuntu support question? [07:43] no, but I soon give up I would do it myself but my gpu isn't supported :/ [07:43] Lysandius, you could try doing a recursive chown to your home folder of the user first [07:44] Lysandius, do you know how to switch to a console and back to X? [07:45] i install the Tomcat server [07:45] dc5ala, I think so. So I should switch to my regular user in a console? And make sure its home folder is owned by that user? [07:45] phlak_user: I'm guessing there are lots of users here who have done it before aswell [07:45] phlak_user, I put in a old windows game in there, drive still didn't show up [07:46] i install the Tomcat server [07:46] Lysandius, i would give that a try: sudo -R lysandius: /home/lysandius [07:46] dc5ala, I looked through some records and I've had this computer right before the 10.10 release. [07:46] run rhe command [07:46] truepurple, dmesg would complain of errors [07:46] sudo apt-get install tomcat6 [07:46] Lysandius, and change the username and home of course in that command :) [07:47] dc5ala, Thanks, I'll brb. [07:47] dc5ala, did you mean sudo chown -R in that previous command of yours [07:47] yeah install the java ee sdk,tomcat is something like #include over there, ;) [07:47] phlak_user, not sure what you are talking about, but I got no errors. [07:47] phlak_user: do you have any advice or direction for me? the thing is I cannot "seperate" system beeps from ordinary sound output, so I cannot mute them :( [07:47] phlak_user, ops, you are right! [07:48] TL-kay, did you mute sound effects? [07:48] Lysandius, missed the chown in that command, sorry, not enough coffee yet, so it's: sudo chown -R username: /home/username [07:49] phlak_user: I have no such option, only "System Sounds" - It was muted by default already [07:49] TL-kay, are you on 11.10? [07:50] 11.04 [07:50] dc5ala, Done :) Shall I try logging in again now? Can I do that without closing this session so I stay in here?

[07:55] truepurple, you should definitely check the cable that connects to the drive in that case [07:55] dc5ala, I think the first one? :) [07:55] dc5ala, Not entirely sure what you meant :) [07:55] phlak_user, and if they are fine? [07:56] I accidentally changed my only user account from Administrator to Standard, how can I get it back?

But 'Ubuntu 2d' and the others have the same problem when I try them. [07:57] I thought you couldn't make a user account an admin [07:57] that's why sudo and SU exist [07:58] 11.10 is rocking i guess [07:58] Hdale85_, basically means that the user is part of the sudoers [07:58] hmm [07:59] Calinou: I'm for real [07:59] 100 bucks right away if you crack this hash -> 29443ec4b988d60e53bfdb7f3f87d0be [07:59] Lysandius, guest user is running unity now? [07:59] Could it have something to do with me removing Evolution since that's quite tightly integrated with Ubuntu? [07:59] I'm not joking around [07:59] ... [07:59] dc5ala, Yes it is. [07:59] !ops there is troll over there! [08:00] just pm, if you manage to get it decrypted [08:00] no, I won't. :P [08:00] hacking eeewwwwuuuuuuuu [08:01] Lysandius, could take a look if there is a hint in your .xsession-errors from that user [08:01] dc5ala, Yesterday (11.04) I chose recovery in the bootloader and then I started in a console. There I could log in and startx. Then I got into gnome and I could work normally. But that no longer works. I can no longer boot into console it seems. [08:01] well use hashcat i suggest ,it cracks all the hashes even with salts included>>>>> ;) [08:01] xerzaz: take it elsewhere, this channel is strictly for Ubuntu support issues [08:01] small question [08:01] is it possible to change the amount of workspaces in gnome ? [08:01] Myrtti: yes I won't ask anymore just thought it would be worth the try not any luck else where this time of day [08:01] I get the error "cannot lock /etc/passwd" when trying to add my user back to Admin group through the recovery shell, how can I avoid this? [08:02] Peddy, can you do usermod -G admin === krabbe_ is now known as krabbe [08:02] phlak_user, haha that's what I just tried to do, I get "cannot lock /etc/passwd; try again later" [08:02] Peddy: you root filesystem is mounted as readonly [08:03] Lysandius, evolution is no more the default mail client for 11.10, so can't imagine it has something to do with your problem at the moment [08:03] dc5ala, There was indeed an error. Something wrong in .profile. I've fixed it and I'll try relogging again... [08:03] dc5ala, Brb :) [08:03] beasty, what is the command to mount it rw? [08:04] just to sort this out it was not hash I was asking for but how to decrypt a user password hash [08:04] !offtopic | xerzaz [08:04] xerzaz: #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! [08:05] beasty, don't worry, I used "mount -n -o remount,rw /", added myself to admin, all is well [08:05] Peddy, look here too -> http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [08:06] Hey, does anyone know how to install XBMC onto Ubuntu 11.10? [08:06] the website itself is a tad confusing [08:06] Peddy: ok :) [08:06] thanks gentlemen [08:06] something about having to add repositorys or something [08:06] all your base are belong to us? [08:06] mm sorry lame joke [08:06] tips for kiddos here,find the type of hash,look for salts,then use oclhashcat,easy man, [08:07] dc5ala, I am now logged in like I should be :) [08:07] andrewh192, didnt this work -> http://www.noobslab.com/2011/09/install-xbmc-on-ubuntu-1110-oneiric.html [08:07] dc5ala, I've been struggling with this for over a year. I'm extremely grateful for your help :) [08:07] phlak_user: thanx [08:07] Lysandius, what was in your .profile that prevent you from login? [08:07] phlak_user: i didn't find that link yet.. :-) [08:08] I just installed the latest version of ubuntu server, I installed gdm, but when I try to log in I get failed to load session "ubuntu", I reinstalled and purged gdm and gnome-sessions but the prolem persists [08:08] anonissimus, did you install ubuntu-desktop also? [08:09] dc5ala, I'm a python user and I use pip to install python packages. There was some code in there to enable tab completion that had an error in it. So apparently X would abort and drop back to the login screen. [08:09] phlak_user: let me check [08:09] Lysandius, okay then, was just curious ;) have fun! [08:09] dc5ala, I've learned alot from this and I can now log in like grownups do. Thanks again! [08:10] phlak_user: ok, i am sorta confused.. [08:10] lol, like grownups do [08:10] andrewh192, abt what [08:10] phlak_user: i am not used to having to do a lot of web searching to be able to install something..

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [08:10] phlak_user: that was what I was missing :) thanks for pointing that out [08:11] Another thing I notice now though... When I left click on the calendar, user, chat, ... icons in the top right corner, the panel opens and closes immediately so I can't actually select anything... [08:12] phlak_user: http://picpaste.com/options-QlGPQLWk.png [08:13] phlak_user: this is my options.. wasn't sure what to do next... [08:15] andrewh192, didnt you download that file like the website said? http://www.noobslab.com/2011/09/install-xbmc-on-ubuntu-1110-oneiric.html [08:16] andrewh192, scroll down below that video clip and then follow the instructions, the script will download all required packages and install [08:16] How to switch to a normal gnome desktop? [08:16] I am using 11.10 [08:16] !nounity| leo2007 [08:16] leo2007: 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 [08:18] phlak_user: gotcha [08:18] phlak_user: ok,... [08:18] all, how do I add something to my $PATH permanently?

[08:19] it should work in just mine [08:19] its a link to a compiler [08:20] i also tried doing export PATH="$HOME/go/bin:$PATH" and then . .bashrc, that didn't work either [08:20] hi :) [08:20] Ccsm doesn't seem to do much anymore in 11.10. I changed my number of desktops but it does not update. [08:20] jeax: in .bashrc, add PATH="$PATH:/more/entries:/like/this" [08:20] ah, so I was just adding it to the wrong file [08:21] jeax: most likely [08:21] how would I add it for all users? bash_completion? [08:21] jeax: I used to put it in a shell script in /etc/profile.d/ . Any executable scripts in /etc/profile.d get sourced if /etc/profile is sourced (.bashrc should do this) [08:21] i've got a question about uniq [08:21] i use it with "-d" and "-c" but i am searching for a possibility to say that only entrys which exists more than "x" times will be shown...is it possible with uniq or do i have to look on another command?

That's not enough, the kernel will be unable to mount / and will fail to boot further [08:52] hey anyone know about Bumblebee for NV optimas [08:52] that means I have an onboard intel GPU and a 1GB NV gpu [08:52] opticlove: You assume? What does df say about it? Have you looked at the output of, sudo fdisk -l ? [08:53] darth_tux71: its a work in progress.. and unstable i hear. [08:53] opticlove: Why do you want to encrypt your root filesystem? Wouldn't your /home/ partition be what you really want to encrypt? [08:54] really? so the question is will Ubuntu just failboat due to my 2 GPU's [08:54] no idea [08:54] guess ill live boot to see if it spazs [08:54] opticlove, this is how fdisk sees my trucrypt partition -> /dev/mapper/cryptswap1: unrecognized partition table type [08:55] seen some blog postiong on how support for that stuff may be rough for some time [08:55] yeah im still stunnded that NV wont support it in linux that seems so stupid [08:56] hello...

[08:58] usr13: yes i tried to migrate my home directory over with ecryptfs-migrate-home but it says command not found [08:58] ikonia :S thanks anyway... :P [08:59] i was able to use ecrypt for my swap space too, so i know its installed and working [09:00] oh i also use it as root [09:01] opticlove: What does man encryptfs-migrate tell you? [09:01] hello, i'm in my first steps on linux and wanna install a game called teeworld. It's in a tar.gz file. Now how do i install it? [09:02] Where do I put sound theme files in 11.10? /usr/share/sounds/folder? It's some "pure" sound files, wav, ogg etc, no config files or anything? Haven't changed the sounds in Ubuntu before.. [09:02] nelson8874, find the file in your home folder (probably downloads) and extract it. tar.gz. is like a .zip [09:03] usr13: sudo: ecryptfs-migrate: command not found [09:03] nelson8874: if you are using ubuntu, use Ubuntu Software Center instead [09:03] diplocat ok [09:03] opticlove: did you put -u opticlove after it? But first off, is your /home partition separate from the root ( / ) partition? [09:03] opticlove: df | pastebinit [09:03] diplocat done. I choosed extract here. [09:03] actually, listen to Stanley00 instead. It's in the repository [09:03] opticlove: Do you have a separate partition for /home ? [09:04] nelson8874: sudo apt-get install teeworlds [09:04] usr13: no i do not [09:04] and yes i put my username after it [09:05] it looks like i have to be logged out though for it to migrate.. surely it would tell me that instead of command not found [09:05] diplocat ok [09:05] nelson8874, find Ubuntu Software Center in the main menu [09:05] stanley00 yes, i found it. Just had to search it... :) [09:06] opticlove: Unless you have /home on a separate partition [from / (the root partition)], you will not be able to encrypt it. [09:06] diplocat yes i found it. [09:06] thank you guys [09:06] usr13: i see. is there an easy way to go about doing that? i'll follow a link [09:07] usr13: if i did that, then could i use truecrypt?

[09:25] its a crazy world when the latest version of tools remove lots of functionality, and then new projects are started to get it back [09:26] dmb__: How about Arch+Mate-Desktop-Environment (the last one being a fork of gnome2, done specifically for Arch, however)? [09:26] sasori: yes [09:26] ok thanks :) [09:26] ubottu: it works, so I don't upgrade it... [09:26] dmb__: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [09:26] no idea why I upgraded this box... sigh [09:26] the bot is prolly smarter then me [09:26] iceroot: ^^ sorry [09:26] prolly smarter than us all [09:27] dmb__: She's only smart when it comes to ubuntu stuff tho, and never does anything herself [09:27] I can only find info on how to turn off metacity in xfce ;-) [09:28] is there a way to get more verbose output from the distribution upgrade? [09:28] i got unity with some nice indicator applets and quicklists.. works well for me. nwxt to add some lenses [09:28] theadmin: you keep telling your self that ;-) [09:28] dmb__: To enable it you can just put "metacity --replace" in your startup apps, what's the big deal with that -___- [09:28] dr_willis: how do you add cpu usage indicator for example? [09:28] theadmin: the big deal is, you know that, I dont [09:29] or you can create a icon to do that that is how i get emerald to work right on my tower [09:29] Hello. It seems that Ubuntu sometimes doesn't show the window to enter my password after it went into sleep-mode or whatever the name is. Is there a way to log out via a tty or any other way I could get back to the OS? [09:29] dmb__: theres all sorts of indicator applets out that are not in the repos yet [09:29] theadmin: so I just literally write that string somewhere in a 'startup apps' dialog? [09:29] Mrokii: "sudo service lightdm restart" or whatnot [09:29] dmb__: Yes, as a command :D [09:29] dmb__: see askubuntu.com lists [09:29] dmb__: That dialog in XFCE is called "Session and startup" [09:29] it seems i have to install sane to use scanner [09:30] theadmin: I'll try, thanks. [09:30] dr_willis: I'm used to right clicking the panel and clicking 'add app', but that's obviously soo last milenium [09:30] newbee: nakes sence to me. [09:30] theadmin: thanks [09:30] newbee: yes [09:30] hi. is there hplip 3.11.10 for natty? [09:30] !info hplip natty [09:30] hplip (source: hplip): HP Linux Printing and Imaging System (HPLIP). In component main, is optional. Version 3.11.1-2ubuntu2 (natty), package size 78 kB, installed size 544 kB [09:31] darn, forgot to put this in a screen session... I'm off to xfce... see you on the other side [09:31] dmb__: for unity or the gnome fallback or classic? [09:31] so old ... [09:31] drizt: Apparently not. [09:31] hm ... is there hplip ppa? I can't found it. [09:32] dr_willis: simple scanner detects scanner but cant scan. checking online sane lists my device as supported. [09:32] theadmin: cool, thanks, that helped. [09:32] Mrokii: No problem [09:32] helllo [09:32] now launching xsane am getting "Failed to open device 'gt68xx:libusb:001:011': Invalid argument" [09:32] error [09:32] i'm trying to upgrade to oneric, but i get an error message from the distribution upgrader [09:32] newbee: sanescan? [09:33] it says i have packages on hold, but i have no packages on hold [09:33] esc: Tell us the error message, huh? [09:33] esc: you may want to try onan before upgrading [09:33] Hey, can anyone help me get one specific line out of 158 email? [09:33] dmb__: Oh, interesting [09:33] esc: That was for you, sorry, misclicked [09:33] dmb__: sane and xsane. [09:33] esc: Try doing "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" first. [09:34] newbee: there is a sane command to find scanners iirc [09:34] theadmin: one sec, i'll get exact error message again [09:34] really sorry theadmin I should have taken a note of the app name you mentioned before quitting irc [09:34] dmb__: "Session and Startup" in the XFCE settings manager thingo [09:34] theadmin: ++ [09:35] theadmin: all my packages are up to date [09:35] i upgraded to natty yesterday [09:35] dmb__: finds scanner alright but cant open it [09:35] esc: Oh, hm, well, multiple upgrades on Ubuntu aren't really a good idea, even a single upgrade can break a lot [09:36] it worked fine last night, to my amazement [09:36] newbee: certain sane commands need to be run as root [09:36] (sorry, I'm not reading any specific advice, just going from memory) [09:37] newbee: "simple scan" should be install by default, nice scanning program [09:37] theadmin: is there a way to do an upgrade to a newer version using command line [09:37] esc: Sure, it's "sudo do-release-upgrade" [09:37] esc: But it won't be any different most likely [09:38] i'll try that, maybe the output will be more verbose [09:38] ok, gnome windows in xfce... looks nice [09:38] now... how do I disable autoraise on focus follows mouse? [09:39] deej1976: installed by default doesnt read my scanner [09:39] * theadmin has finally found a way to bring up a VPN connection on startup -- put nmcli con up id 'VPN Connection Name Here' to the startup apps, in case anyone's wondering about this :D [09:39] any hot f here? [09:39] I don't even know how to get to the wm config ;-) [09:39] malemauritius: This is not a freaking dating channel. [09:39] the default path in xfce is now blank, presumably because its now metacity [09:39] newbee: what scanner is it? manu/model [09:39] malemauritius: you for real? [09:39] yeahhh [09:40] i also wonder the webcam worked during installation. it uses my pix for user profile log in pictures, but i cant seem to launch it on its own. i had to install cheese for that. [09:40] newbee: Well, yeah, you kinda need some app to use the webcam [09:40] newbee: Cheese or kamoso or whatever [09:40] d [09:41] deej1976: its a plustek OpticSlim m12 scanner. my research online has it listed under sane supported devices [09:41] oh wow this really sucsk.. I must be too old [09:41] right click on 'workspaces' icon in pannel -> settings -> number of workspaces -> 4 ... nothing ... no new workspaces [09:42] I guess 1 is the number of workspaces xbuntu suggests... forever [09:42] Hi all, having trouble getting the Ubuntu CD I burned to work, it loads up alright and I get the loading screen with 5 dots then all of a sudden it switches to CLI and goes no further. :/ Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? V-11.10 btw [09:42] jaketb: could be your hardware [09:43] can I have 2 workspaces? [09:43] i attempted to install the ATI drivers of my board, but they failed, then i disabled them, now, the system is not loading the hardware acceleration that it loaded before! what can i do? [09:43] is this because I'm running metacity? [09:43] I realize this seems like I'm doing nothing but complaining, but everything is broken [09:43] * dmb__ tries logging out and back in again [09:44] here is the error message: http://dpaste.com/645974/ [09:44] dmb_ : Thanks, this is what I am thinking, though it is all fairly new HW and I wouldn't have thought there would be an issue. Also, I have ran other versions of Ubuntu before. Maybe I will try burning to a different brand of CD, or even a DVD haha, you never know, [09:44] I like 8.04 [09:45] still only 1 workspace, after setting 'number of workspaces = 4' [09:45] what was the command, like `uniq` that would parse a file and remove duplicates [09:45] like if some line occures 10 times, only leave 1 instance of it [09:45] hey guys [09:45] newbee: have you got libsane-extras installed ? [09:45] Hapz: uniq [09:45] dmb__ no.. [09:46] Hapz: 'cus uniq needs sort? [09:46] deej1976: nope. i only did apt-get install sane and xsane [09:46] trying to install ubuntu 11.10 but while booting it stops at "Stopping System V runlevel compatibility". any idea what causes this? [09:46] lukicat : I'm having the same issue :/ === SomeoneWeirdAFK is now known as SomeoneWeird [09:46] Although I get a few more lines of text after that [09:47] hmm [09:47] dmb__ found it, its sort -u [09:47] Hapz: what does uniq do then? [09:47] on the most machines it worked straight through but on this f.... sony vaio notebook nothing will happen =( [09:47] dmb__ "report or omit repeated lines" ? [09:48] isn't that what you want? [09:48] I installed it on a computer that was 10 years old yesterday, but on my 2 year old lappy, nothing haha [09:48] * dmb__ disables metacity to see if it gives him more workspaces... [09:48] dmb__ not exactly. [09:48] deej1976: same error [09:48] i dont care which lines are repeated. i just need to remove duplicates [09:49] * dmb__ starts hyper-ventilating [09:49] lukicat : the only thing I can think of is to use a USB instead, if that doesn't work, install an older version and update(is that possible?) [09:49] Hello. I'm trying to set a static IP in 11.10. But it says not all variables set. See http://gyazo.com/c98eebb1a40014c6802f9c415eab22c8.png [09:50] already tried to boot from usb [09:50] OK, when I login to xfce without 'metacity --replace' I can bump the number of workspaces using the workspaces app in the xfce panel, however, when I then hit metacity --replace, it jumps back to 1 workspace [09:50] jaketb, yeah i think about the solution of the earlier version and then upgrade [09:50] http://www.fishandcross.com/blog/?p=844newbee: [09:50] do I need to bring in the metacity configuration apps into xfce? [09:50] newbee: http://www.fishandcross.com/blog/?p=844 [09:50] and how painfull is that? [09:50] but from the installed 10.04 i get an update error :D [09:50] damnit [09:50] so maybe i'll install 11.04 [09:50] and who want's to bet I can't get gnome2 installed in < 24 hours... gah [09:51] * dmb__ puts a paper bag on his head [09:51] 7Q [09:51] so, when running metacity within xfce, how do I configure the wm? [09:52] dmb: What do you want to change? [09:52] soreau: I want to add more than one workspace === sun is now known as Guest3816 [09:53] hi [09:53] dmb__: gconf key /apps/metacity/general/num_workspaces [09:53] how to copy the directory [09:53] soreau: although the xfce panel contains a workspace configuration applet, it configures the xfce wm (but displays the metacity workspace config) [09:54] soreau: really... manually edit gconf? [09:54] dmb__: gconf-editor [09:54] soreau: really... manually edit gconf using a gui? [09:54] Hallo. I have a problem with a freshly installed mythbuntu 11.10, where everyone once in a while it does not start up correctly, it gets stuck at the end of the splash screen. Has anybody heard of similar issues to this for pure ubuntu 11.10 or has any ideas on how I should trouble shoot it? [09:54] dmb__: sure [09:54] * dmb__ begins crying [09:54] ;-) [09:54] hi [09:55] hello guys [09:55] hi devi what is your question? [09:55] devi: How to copy what directory? [09:55] how to copy the directory [09:55] how can i manually load glx? [09:56] cablop: glx is loaded by X. What are you trying to do exactly? [09:56] ah, i did it... dunno how [09:56] devi: which directory? [09:56] the propietary driver was causing me issues then i moved to the free one again [09:57] i just need cpy one folder in to anthore folder using command lin [09:57] cablop: Are you having trouble with your graphics driver? [09:57] it is unveliebable that the proprietary driver was worse tha the oss one [09:57] yes with ATI [09:57] no [09:57] devi: cp -r /path/to/directory1 /path/to/directory2 [09:57] but i just purgued it following a guide then reinstalled the core and it seems like working now [09:57] caplink811_log: So what's your problem? [09:57] is it necessary to rar that file [09:58] cablop: So what's wrong? === corsair is now known as Guest48762 [09:58] devi: No, just use cp -r [09:58] soreau: i installed the proprietary driver then the gui loaded full of artifacts and other issues [09:58] i will tery [09:59] soreau: since I'm in gconf-editor... how do I turn off 'autoraise' with focus follows mouse? [09:59] then i remoed that driver using the additionaldrivers thingy, and then i restarted faling into gnome 2d and unable to enable the acceleration features again [09:59] I've got focus follows mouse set to sloppy, which is how I like it [09:59] i have one more probm [09:59] soreau: but, afaik, the proprietary driver should be working better and fater than the linux one [09:59] dmb__: gconf key /apps/metacity/general/auto_raise [09:59] i don't know about ubuntu [09:59] soreau: my tears have turned to joyfull [09:59] i want install tomcat6 [10:00] cablop: The radeon driver should work better [10:00] soreau: so, no fglrx, but just radeon one [10:00] i install this command sudo apt-get install tomcat6 [10:00] cablop: yes, the default [10:00] OK, thanks guys... [10:01] then [10:01] I'll try to do some work now ;-) [10:01] !find tomcat6 [10:01] Found: libtomcat6-java, tomcat6, tomcat6-admin, tomcat6-common, tomcat6-docs [10:01] using the wm in angry [10:01] wait 1 sec [10:02] then what the next step [10:02] ah... a very annoying glytch just came to my attention, can anyone help me with the following... when toggling workspaces with 'crtl-alt-left/right' the windows on the destop often don't draw themselves correctly [10:02] so I'm often left looking at a half invisible window [10:02] is this a known bug? [10:03] dmb__: Are you sure you're using metacity? === Revo_ is now known as Revo [10:03] i.e. if I carry a window from ws1 to ws3, and a window in ws2 partially obscures it, it turns up in ws3 with bits missing... actually think this is only when I carry windows... not sure [10:03] Hi, Again with that problem, not yet solved, My wireless Lan card can not see the available networks, some outputs are here, http://pastebin.com/MFCFm7L8 , lshw -c network shows Disabled. HELP, Natty [10:03] soreau: yes, I ran 'metacity --replace', and put that in the 'startup' apps [10:04] My numpad controls my mousepointer. Since upgrading to 11.10 I can no longer seem to find the setting to disable this. Can anyone steer me in the right direction please? [10:04] hi [10:04] dmb__: It's possibly a bug in xdamage [10:04] soreau: thanks, then i am no longer going to touch that drivers thingy [10:04] also, I'm carrying windows with ctrl-alt-shift-left/right, which is a metacity trick [10:04] then [10:04] dmb__: I assume after you move a window it fixes itself? [10:04] why the shutdown box of the lightdm is so ugly? [10:04] soreau: sometimes I've seen it linger, let me try to recreate === devi is now known as RAJi [10:05] hi [10:05] hi friends [10:05] soreau: not quite, the window sits there with invisible bits [10:05] dmb__: What is the output of 'glxinfo|grep renderer'? [10:05] OpenGL renderer string: GeForce Go 7600/PCI/SSE2 [10:06] dmb__: Could be a bug in the nvidia driver then [10:06] yeah, figures === RAJi is now known as Magi [10:06] dmb__: Does it make a difference if you toggle gconf key /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager? [10:06] hi friends [10:07] soreau: lets see... btw, I have a couple of screen shots I can upload if you like [10:07] dmb__: No, I don't really care to see them [10:07] np [10:07] I'm using FF 7.0.1 under Ubuntu 11.04... When I want to view a file from flipflash there is nothing displayed. However using Chrome I can view the flipflash file.. Is there anything I need to install??? [10:07] Hi, Again with that problem, not yet solved, My wireless Lan card can not see the available networks, some outputs are here, http://pastebin.com/MFCFm7L8 , lshw -c network shows Disabled. HELP, Natty === Magi is now known as devi [10:07] soreau: composing_manager is currently unset [10:08] hi [10:08] toggled [10:08] hi devi [10:08] dmb__: Do you know what toggle means? [10:08] soreau: apparently not [10:08] i don't know [10:08] anyway, initially things seem bette! [10:08] soreau: thank you so much [10:09] sarthor: What wifi card is it? [10:09] dmb__: No problem [10:09] broadcom 4313 soreau [10:09] how do I get rid of the wierd new scrollbars? (clearly I'm too old for change) [10:09] ! broadcom | sarthor [10:09] sarthor: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [10:09] in my board the SATA are working like NAtive IDEs, but they have the option of AHCI? [10:09] tomcat installation is sucessful but when i am starting web browser its only buffering [10:09] dmb__: What's weird and new about them? [10:10] I'm using FF 7.0.1 under Ubuntu 11.04... When I want to view a file from flipflash there is nothing displayed. However using Chrome I can view the flipflash file.. Is there anything I need to install??? [10:10] ... does anybody knows about an improvement or issue to enable the AHCI mode for SATA disks? [10:10] instead of showing a wide bar within gtk windows, it shows a thin new bar that changes when I hover over it [10:10] it shows a scrolly when I hover [10:10] soreau: I read and did all this stuff giving in the link, but no success https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [10:10] I find it hard to judge the size of the area with this new (slicker looking) scrolly [10:11] cablop goto motherboard setup option after hard reboot, select AHCI. [10:11] dmb__: I think ubuntu patched gtk to do that in efforts to conserve space [10:11] ah [10:11] progress... [10:11] ;-) [10:11] hi tel me [10:11] thanks again [10:11] fixing the 'composing' glytch is a massive win [10:11] dmb__: what ubuntu? 11.10? [10:12] cablop: yeah [10:12] My numpad controls my mousepointer. Since upgrading to 11.10 I can no longer seem to find the setting to disable this. Can anyone steer me in the right direction please? [10:12] I don't know why I was tempted to upgrade... [10:12] dmb__: did you play with gnome 3 before? [10:12] sarthor: Well broadcom doesn't support linux open drivers so you just have to try different drivers [10:12] cablop: for about 30 seconds on 11.04 before I began to feel physically sick and switched back to gnome [10:12] ok, then bad news [10:13] lol [10:13] dmb__: no more gnome 2.x in 11.10 [10:13] cablop: I bet I can build it ;-) [10:13] until then, I'm off to work, thanks guys [10:13] wow [10:13] ? [10:13] dmb__: do you prefer a gun or a rope? ;) [10:13] soreau: I was using this wireless lan card since 4 months, but yesterday i created ADSL connection with pppoeconf command, after that i am not able to use my wireless lan card. [10:13] dmb__: i think there's a ppa for that somewhere [10:13] ppa? [10:13] MonkeyDust: I've built gnome before... [10:14] personal package archive, [10:14] just to get gnome-panel, which I love [10:14] MonkeyDust: i think against gnome3 and unity he is efering to be buried alive [10:14] ohright [10:14] xD [10:14] a local source [10:14] hi......... [10:14] true that [10:14] dmb__: a PPA is like a repo, but smaller and simplier [10:14] devi: please stop saying hi, ask your question and wait [10:14] there are other dock apps better then the rather lacking gnome panel [10:14] cablop: ic [10:14] Lysandius: Try running gnome-at-properties [10:14] sarthor, did you try this -> http://nfolamp.wordpress.com/2011/10/15/ubuntu-11-10-getting-wireless-bcm4311-working/ [10:15] hey hey, no need to be rude, but, yes, devi, ask your question, we'll be glad to help if we can [10:15] dr_willis: 'rather lacking' in gnome3? I agree [10:15] dr_willis: what doc app do you use? [10:15] gnome2 panel is lacking.. and now dead [10:15] tomcat is sucessfully running but it's nt connect the website [10:15] phlak_user: no, let me try this.

I'm using irssi [10:16] sarthor, did you install *both* firmware and driver? [10:17] !dock [10:17] Ubuntu includes several dock-like navigation bars. Some options are: avant-window-navigator, cairo-dock, docky (formerly part of gnome-do), stalonetray, simdock, kdocker, kooldock.

[10:18] phlak_user: please view a bit this output. http://pastebin.com/LsW105Mg [10:18] should i remove fimrware-b43legacy-installer? [10:18] i mean unity is a bad gui, despite you combine it with AWN you cannot mke it better [10:19] sarthor, yes of course [10:19] awn? [10:19] dr_willis: ty [10:19] soreau, I don't seem to have gnome-at-properties, nor can I install it. [10:19] awn avant window navigator [10:19] Lysandius: Well then [10:19] dmb__: it is going to provide you some docks for your system, but it looks like the best gnome panel replacement ever [10:19] dr_willis: How do you do apt-file search with ubottu ?

[10:24] sarthor, can you paste output of sudo lshw -C network [10:24] cablop, whats a bind-mount? [10:25] something like mouting an already mountes firectory or directory in already mounted device into another folder [10:25] lol i remember when you had to type mount to mount things [10:25] phlak_user: http://paste.ubuntu.com/726164/ show the device disabled. [10:26] what a big amount of typos i am having today [10:26] sarthor, and sudo lsmod also please? [10:27] sarthor, also, can you check if your wireless on/off button is in on position [10:27] phlak_user: http://paste.ubuntu.com/726165/ butten is ON. [10:28] Experiencing an odd bug ever since I upgraded to 10.10. Every time I try to open Nautilus from inside another program (eg "Open Folder" in Firefox's Download window) it uses gksudo. Didn't used to, and I don't want it to. How can I fix it? [10:28] Sorry - 11.10, I mean. [10:28] Don't know what year it is, sometimes... === benct is now known as XXIstC === AntORG_ is now known as AntORG [10:28] wow wtf [10:28] ! netsplit === AlanChicken is now known as AlanBell === gshipley_ is now known as gshipley [10:28] wow that was odd [10:29] darth_tux71: It's a netsplit, when one or more of the irc servers has a problem connecting to the others [10:29] ahhhh okies thanks soreau [10:30] sarthor, that doesnt look like the driver is loaded [10:30] phlak_user: OK. what to do for this now? [10:31] sorry, network issue [10:31] sarthor, can you do a sudo modprobe -v b43 [10:31] didn't see replies... I wonder if you saw my ranting [10:31] so... what happened to all the nice gnome-panel apps that I have grown acustomed to reading subconsciously? [10:31] hello there, i've just performed an upgrade from 10.04.3 to 11.10, but why does my previous apps didn't show up, and also the wireless LED isn't working but i've already installed its driver [10:32] phlak_user: http://paste.ubuntu.com/726173/ [10:32] hope someone can help me, or else i may have had to return to lucid :( [10:32] sarthor, ok now it should work ; check network-manager [10:32] shadowhate: What's wrong? [10:33] hello there, i've just performed an upgrade from 10.04.3 to 11.10, but why does my previous apps didn't show up, and also the wireless LED isn't working but i've already installed its driver [10:33] shadowhate: Can you repeat again? [10:33] phlak_user: I removed and reinstalled netwrok manager, but no change [10:34] shadowhate: did you upgrade or fresh install? [10:34] sarthor: You don't need to mess with network-manager. It works fine if your network drivers are working [10:34] sarthor, can you pastebin last few lines of /var/log/syslog after you loaded the driver [10:34] sarthor, yes, dont reinstall network manager [10:34] i performed an UPGRADE only from 10.04.3 to 11.10 [10:35] but my previous apps failed to showed up or restore, also the wireless LED indicator isnt working [10:35] phlak_user: http://paste.ubuntu.com/726176/ I pressed "fn+F5" also once. that is Wireless card switch too [10:36] anyone remember the old process monitor app on gnome-panel? if I'm running xfce, how do I get it back? [10:36] hi [10:36] sarthor, got the problem -> : WiFi now disabled by radio killswitch [10:37] How do I specify the default program to run when another program wants to open a folder/directory? It's currently using "gksudo nautilus", which is the Wrong Thing. [10:37] phlak_user: Hmm. so what to do for that? [10:37] i try this link wget http://apache.hoxt.com/tomcat/tomcat-7/v7.0.20/bin/apache-tomcat-7.0.20-fulldocs.tar.gz [10:37] etfb: system->config->default ... iirc [10:37] ERROR 404: Not Found. [10:37] sarthor, type sudo rfkill unblock all [10:37] phlak_user: I did that also.. [10:38] again [10:38] i thought 11.10 would be friendly to my notebook :( [10:38] dmb_: I'm using 11.10. [10:38] sarthor: Is it an HP laptop with a switch by chance? [10:38] etfb: there is a program to set the default apps somewhere [10:38] phlak_user: soreau it is lenovo. I did rfkill unblock all , same [10:39] sarthor, as per this, its loaded -> Broadcom 43xx driver loaded [ Features: PNL, Firmware-ID: FW13 ] [10:39] sarthor, can you check output of sudo iwconfig [10:39] phlak_user: http://paste.ubuntu.com/726182/ [10:40] eww broadcom [10:40] dmb_: Ah, it's in System Settings | System Info | Default Applications... but it doesn't include the option for "Open Folder", only for a smattering of common file types. [10:40] h [10:40] sarthor output of sudo iwlist eth1 scan [10:40] etfb: hmm... when you say 'open' you mean double click it in the.. what? [10:41] phlak_user: http://paste.ubuntu.com/726183/ [10:41] sarthor, so its working :) [10:41] phlak_user: how? i can not see any available network. alot arround. [10:41] dmb_: Any other program. For example, download a file using Firefox, then use the Download window, select the downloaded file and click "Open Containing Folder". It should run nautilus as the current user, but instead it runs it using gksudo as root. [10:41] sarthor, is this the ssid of your ap/router -> 0544430701 [10:42] yes. [10:42] etfb: you somehow set the default open folder.. tobe sudo nautilus? [10:42] Anything that used to run Nautilus now runs gksudo [10:42] thats..weird [10:42] dr_willis: I don't believe I did. It seems to be a side effect of upgrading from Natty to Oneiric. [10:43] * dmb_ makes a new rule... never upgrade... ever [10:43] does cp by default preserve permissions? [10:43] But yes, Doctor, I am in complete agreement with your medical diagnosis. "Weird" is the word. [10:43] dmb_: This is the first time I haven't followed that rule. Last time, too. [10:43] i know how to fix it useing that ubuntu-tweak tool. not sure of any other easy way [10:43] cablop: no, afaik [10:43] !ping [10:43] another contentless ping... sigh... [10:43] etfb: me too, forced to upgrade for a repo at work [10:44] dr_willis: How to use apt-file search with ubottu ? [10:44] hey ubotu, hard toget up this morning xD [10:44] phlak_user: network manager can not see any network. and also that says, device is not Managed. [10:44] !find geany [10:44] Found: geany, geany-plugin-addons, geany-plugin-codenav, geany-plugin-doc, geany-plugin-extrasel, geany-plugin-gdb, geany-plugin-gendoc, geany-plugin-insertnum, geany-plugin-latex, geany-plugin-lipsum (and 12 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=geany&searchon=names&suite=oneiric§ion=all [10:44] You'd think that Canonical could get upgrading to work, given that even Microsoft have finally managed it... Admittedly, MS only upgrades their OS once a decade... [10:44] like that you mean? [10:44] dr_willis: I think that's similar to apt-cache search [10:44] i meant ubottu [10:45] dr_willis: I mean apt-file, to find what file a package belongs to [10:45] etfb: i tend to reibstall windiws without upgradeing.. :-) [10:45] or what package provides a file [10:45] sarthor, can you show me output of sudo lshw -C network again (with the new driver) [10:45] i just use apt file on the cli. ;-) [10:46] !find /bin/vi [10:46] dr_willis: Well there's a way to do it with ubottu, I just can't remember how [10:46] dr_willis: I don't even upgrade my toaster. Every morning it's the same: reformat, install the new OS, put the bread in, toast it, butter it...

[10:48] bbl. [10:48] sarthor, in fact, it looks the same as the last one [10:48] sarthor: Does 'sudo iwlist eth1 scan|grep -i ssid' show AP's? [10:48] soreau, just shows him one [10:49] hi [10:49] shows ESSID:"0544430701" [10:49] shows ESSID:"0544430701" phlak_user === devi is now known as indira [10:50] sarthor, yes i saw that earlier [10:50] sarthor: What does 'service network-manager status' show? [10:50] hi frnds [10:50] indira, devi hi [10:50] i try this link wget http://apache.hoxt.com/tomcat/tomcat-7/v7.0.20/bin/apache-tomcat-7.0.20-fulldocs.tar.gz [10:50] phlak_user: network-manager start/running, process 1162 [10:51] but i got ERROR 404: Not Found [10:51] Aha! Fixed it, dmb_, dr_willis! Open Nautilus, select a folder anywhere, Open With Other Application and choose "Files" instead of "gksudo". Well duh! I wonder why it got set like that... [10:51] Now when I Open Folder in Firefox, it Just Works. [10:51] sarthor: What's telling you 'network Dislabled.'? [10:51] ...what gui based svn is advocated in linux.? [10:51] soreau: lshw -c network says that [10:51] !ubottu root password [10:51] cablop: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [10:51] sarthor: Does it work if you click on the network icon? [10:52] hm [10:52] ! root | cablop [10:52] cablop: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [10:52] newbee: I looked at a bunch a while ago and they were all genuinely awful. [10:52] anyone know a ppa that has truecrypt in it? [10:52] soreau: there, Wirless networks. .. and under that, "Device is not managed" [10:52] why ubuntupeople does insist that root pwd is a bad idea? [10:52] newbee: Why do you want a gui for subversion? [10:52] sarthor: Can you pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces file to pastebin.com? [10:53] Kingsy, install it from site [10:53] I have heard that there are .deb truecrypt files around but I cant find one, I don't really want to install it from source.. well mostly cos I don't know how :P [10:53] soreau: use tortoisesvn on windows and you'll realize why a subversion gui [10:53] phlak_user: you mean just download the tar.gz ? [10:53] cablop: That's the Debian way. It's a philosophical thing. Neither way is clearly better, but Debian and hence Ubuntu do it this way. [10:53] cablop: I don't think I will [10:53] newbee: rapidsvn [10:53] cablop: CLI is superior.. I'd want to use svn CLI even in windows [10:53] is it not advisable to run 11.10 on netbooks? [10:53] Kingsy, yes, its a binary [10:53] i got error 404 [10:53] hi, what ways are there if i need to install ubuntu on a harddrive that is connected via usb to the pc but is intended to be used as a internal drive on a different computer? [10:53] phlak_user: I am not really sure what you do with that.. [10:53] soreau: no way, i used the tortoisesvn thing, it is one of the best open source pieces of software ever [10:54] pls tell phlak_user [10:54] Kingsy, the instructions are very clear [10:54] cablop: Maybe if you're stuck in gui windoze [10:54] soreau: http://paste.ubuntu.com/726191/ [10:54] soreau: not for that, because it handles a lot of things ate the same time in an elegant and efficient way [10:54] Tortoise SVN gui app on windows is sweet [10:54] i didn't get [10:54] cablop, soreau: I second the praise for Tortoise. It's a shame there's no native Linux port. RapidSVN was among the ones I tried and laughed at. [10:55] i'm already starting to hate ubuntu :( [10:55] Hi room [10:55] sarthor: Comment out the last two lines in that file, save it then restart network-manager with 'sudo service network-manager restart' [10:55] my work right now involves too much pressure and i dont want to be bothered on the syntax of svn. [10:55] shadowhate: We all hate Ubuntu. The ideal is to hate it less than we hate OS-X, Windows, BeOS, GEOS, TRS-80 DOS, VMS, etc... [10:55] shadowhate: What's the problem? [10:55] soreau: I did that already. And i can see networks now. [10:56] rapidsvn IS - i guess 40% - of what tortoisesvn is AND it is not well developen PLUS it is made in python... so... [10:56] newbee: Then run it in wine? [10:56] phlak_user: I don't see any instructions [10:56] Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. Thanks to All of you, and to phlak_user , I love you Man. you given a lot of your time. Thanks. [10:56] sarthor: cool.. so does it work now? [10:56] Kingsy, once you explode the tar ball you will :) [10:56] it's almost a year i'm advocating linux/ubuntu to my friends and classmates :D [10:56] soreau: run it in wine and check into my linux directories? [10:56] soreau: imposible tortoisesvn integrates with the file explorer [10:56] soreau: Yea. fine. [10:56] sarthor: awesome :-) [10:56] sarthor, gr8; and thanks to soreau [10:56] or run windows apps in a virtual machine, it's what i do [10:56] soreau: people consider me Network Engg. [10:56] haha [10:56] right now am hating my mgt for forcing me to port an app that works fine on windows to linux. [10:56] shadowhate, hate not, dislike and install gnome-session-fallback this gives a gnome2 lookalike possibility [10:57] the closest thing you are gong to get is RapidSVN, or install an Eclipse and use subclipse on it, no other good solution [10:57] soreau: I looked up the instructions for integrating TortoiseSVN with WINE. They scared me. I've been a programmer for thirty years. Make of that what you will. [10:57] an app that has lot of driver dependencies. [10:57] newbee: or a standalone client, maybe RabbitVCS [10:57] I "hate" my job right now. [10:57] etfb: I make of that you're old ;) [10:57] i'm having trouble with Fn keys not working for bluetooth and WiFi [10:57] ah, hen i was talking about rapidsvn i was willing to say RabbitVCS [10:57] newbee: nautilus-script-collection-svn [10:57] soreau: You wait until you're 514 years old, young whippersnapper! [10:57] shadowhate: Did you try sudo rfkill unblock all? [10:57] phlak_user: nope.. there is just a file in there, you get an installer if you run it with ./truecrypt-7.1.blah but after you agree to various things the installer just says "press enter to exit" ... [10:58] etfb: heh [10:58] newbee: anyway RabbitVCS integrates with nautilus same way tortoisesvn does in windows [10:58] soreau: wait :D [10:58] Kingsy, run it with sudo === gloscon is now known as karmraj [10:58] ah ok 1 second [10:58] etfb: I still standby svn gui is a stupid idea [10:58] CLI works fine [10:58] so i should install rabbitvcs? can i apt-get it? === shai_ is now known as shai [10:58] soreau: it works fine till u start needing to resolve conflicts etc [10:59] phlak_user: that worked.. awesome :) [10:59] soreau: still ain't working [10:59] soreau if you never used tortoisesvn you cannot argument against it, i used both svn in cli and tortoisesvn and i know how good is tortoisesvn for a developer performance [10:59] hola [10:59] shadowhate: oh well, that was my only idea. Try searching/asking in the forums maybe === Robert_ is now known as 18WAAMAUU [10:59] Hola quien habla español [10:59] !es | pruebaefectos [10:59] pruebaefectos: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

I am trying to encrypt my usb stick [11:01] Kingsy: it only works that way on Windows, no traveler mode for linux, afaik [11:02] pruebaefectos, mejor haga esa pregunta en #ubun\tu-es [11:02] igot error ERROR 404: Not Found [11:02] Kingsy: and traveler mode means you just put a portable truecrypt on the usb stick and use an encrypted file inside it === [AFK] is now known as AFK [11:02] im using this link wget http://apache.hoxt.com/tomcat/tomcat-7/v7.0.20/bin/apache-tomcat-7.0.20-fulldocs.tar.gz === sanjid|away is now known as sanjid === JStoker_ is now known as JStoker === Vinn0 is now known as Guest87926 === Jens is now known as Guest14397 === ecthiender is now known as Guest29618 === timo_ is now known as Guest28327 === Era is now known as Guest4500 === red2kic is now known as Guest58466 [11:03] cablop: really? so what tool would you recommend as a cross operating system way of encrypting a usb stick? so when you mount it no matter what the operating system it asks you for a password before you can view the contents? [11:03] 404 Not Found [11:04] plz tell [11:04] Kingsy: no way to, afaik, maybe FreeOTFE but i never used it [11:04] I don't beleive that.. there must be a way [11:04] ok I will check that otu [11:05] Kingsy: but there's no tool that encrypts the full usb and ask for a password, all are apps in the stick and an encrypted container in the same usb stick [11:05] how to solve the error [11:05] Kingsy: or use two USB, one encrypted and other with the loader, maybe FreeOTFE should work [11:05] Can someone helpme.. I have a new Asus EEEPC. My CPU temp is arround the 50C.. is this normal? Or is this combined? I have a dual core.. [11:05] quit [11:06] hi [11:06] BetaArc thats probably fine [11:06] cablop: it doesnt matter if the app is on the stick or not.. the only thing that matters is the sensitive files on the stick are encrypted [11:06] my webcam does not work someone can help me with this I am new to this ubuntu [11:06] hello?? [11:06] hi [11:06] cablop: I am pretty suprised portable mode for true crypt doesnt work on linux [11:06] Need help :(((((( [11:06] map [11:06] crackup - just ask your question [11:06] My phone bricked:( [11:07] deos it run ubuntu [11:07] pruebaefectos, have you tried cheese ?

[11:07] I tried to unlock the sim network but now the phone wont turn on(i have a galaxy ace GT-5830) [11:08] Kingsy: truecrypt portable has a big issue it needs administrative rihts to work on linux or windows because you are going to mount the encrypted device when decrypting, so... no reason for a portable mode if you have to get those rights in the machine [11:08] how to install tomcat6 or 7 [11:08] I live in IRELAND [11:08] hi......... [11:08] It goes into download mode [11:08] indira: apt-get install tomcat6 [11:08] lapion [11:08] crackup: What does your phone have to do with ubuntu? === Guest14397 is now known as jbache [11:08] k [11:09] What is Ubuntu??? [11:09] crackup: You're asking your question in the wrong channel then [11:09] cablop: I would disagree, there is always need for portable mode, if someone steels your stick, goes home, they plug it into a machine.. they would have admin rights on the machine but they wouldnt have the password to the stick [11:09] What channel do i need? [11:09] then [11:09] pruebaefectos, mira la informacion que ubottu te dio [11:09] Im knew:( === Mud is now known as Guest46296 [11:10] lapion habals español? [11:10] steals* [11:10] cablop: you know what I mean ? [11:10] Kingsy: i agree with you, but whati mean is no reason for a portable + truecrypt... because it is not going to work with ease... anyway, my solution to that was to carry two USB sticks, one with some programs and the encrypted one, so i plugged both in the computer i use and use one to decrypt the other [11:11] but, if you don't have admin rights it is useless because you cannot *mount* things [11:11] so, i used to carry the installer yoo and install it on other computers i used to have access to [11:11] pruebaefectos, si pero no ese canal no se permite chatear en otros lenguajes [11:12] i install apt-get install tomcat6 [11:12] then [11:12] soreau tel [11:12] pruebaefectos: algunos hablamos español, yes some of us speak in spanish, pero si necesitas nuesra ayuda la puedes tener en ubuntu-es, but if youneed our help in spanish go to ubuntu-es [11:12] ok lapion ntonces porfa aver si te puede pasar tambien para el de español es toy hay u.u [11:13] indira: Then it's installed [11:13] k [11:13] what's next command [11:13] simplemente de el commando /j ubuntu-es [11:13] Kingsy: but the best solution was to getmy own netbook and use it wherever i go and keeping the USB and the netbook both encrypted [11:14] simplemente de el commando /j #ubuntu-es [11:14] soreau: whats the next process [11:14] indira: What are you trying to do? [11:15] i have to configure the tomcat [11:15] soreau: i want configure the following steps of the tomcat [11:16] cablop: ok so encrypting a usb stick isnt an ideal solution.. but its something I want to do [11:16] hi. [11:16] Hi there ; anybody successfully boot up oneiric cd/usb on a macbookpro 8,1 ? [11:16] Kingsy: no, no, i mean it is the solution [11:16] indira: https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/C/tomcat.html [11:17] indira: Maybe this can help https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/C/tomcat.html [11:17] Kingsy: but you are not going to be able to plug it everywhere, because th problem is with the portable program [11:17] indira: updated for 11.10: https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/serverguide/C/tomcat.html [11:17] cablop: how do the commericial solutions do it? [11:17] companies like iron key etc [11:18] Kingsy: same problem, you need admin rights to open them [11:18] I still don't see why thats a problem [11:18] Kingsy: but it is more like plugging an ipone or other usb device with some intelligence inside [11:18] and what is the problem with that? [11:19] Kingsy with no admin right no mounting [11:19] deej1976: i follow that links tomcat is start but it's nt opening web browser [11:19] Kingsy: wait... afaik, truecrypt installs on /opt... so maybe by copy/paste iles on a folder on your usb stick will do the trick [11:19] *files [11:20] In empathy, how do I hide join/part messages? [11:20] what's with the lag? [11:20] cablop: naa my opt folder is empty. [11:20] but tbh I don't mind about needing admin rights to mount.. that really isnt my concern [11:20] so if you can get it working with linux / windows but it needs admin rights then thats a solution.. [11:21] indira: Have you read all the documentation on the link provided. [11:21] yes i red [11:22] BennyBoy: try /ignore #ubuntu +joins +parts [11:22] deej1976: from mrng onwards i red that page [11:22] cablop: but I am still unsure as to how it works? I don't see an option for portable mode in truecrypt I am assuming by that you have to do it manually? [11:22] Kingsy: lol, what i mean is if you have a local truecryypt installed, then you have that files there [11:23] Kingsy: yep, i think you have to do it manually [11:23] deej1976: tomcat is start but it continously web browser loading [11:23] cablop: you aware of any tutorials?

[13:31] truepurple, thats not the same as saying updates are not available in different sessions [13:32] unfortuanately not [13:32] i need kind of apt cli [13:32] phlak_user, does apt-get always prompt? sometimes when it installs a new kernel, apt-get doesnt mention reboots [13:32] truepurple, what that means is that once your radeon is configured properly in *safe* mode, you can use it for 3d [13:32] compdoc, apt-get never prompts, the package-manager does [13:32] i don't want to enter apt all serveral time === corsair is now known as Guest14059 [13:33] zetui: what compdoc gave you, *is* a cli apt command [13:33] zetui, cli mean command line - what do you mean? [13:33] compdoc, sorry update-manager === Guest14059 is now known as corsairtux [13:33] yes [13:33] ok i give an example [13:33] for example if you take an example of mysql [13:34] mysql -p you enter on mysql mode then you work with command [13:34] is there a built in equalizer in ubuntu/gnome? can't find one [13:34] phlak_user, No, I was expressly instructed in installing 2d unity so I could go into unity, not safe mode, and get the needed drives so that I can use unity 3d and have other things work right with my video card. I was specifically told that the reason I was having trouble was because I was trying to do it in "classic mode" [13:34] in the same way i want to do for apt [13:34] possible ? [13:34] zetui, you mean does apt have a shell of its own? no [13:35] zetui: you want a permanent apt prompt? [13:35] something like apt-cli connect [13:35] truepurple, ok cool [13:35] phlak_user: zetui try aptitude [13:35] then you just only have to choose the package [13:35] there dpkg [13:35] aptitude doesn't have a built-in shell either, at least not that I know of.. it does have a ncurses UI though [13:35] something like apt-get install connect [13:35] sysadamin, thats curses based; better try dselect [13:35] to connect to cli [13:36] the enter the name of the packet [13:36] phlak_user, But I forgot this persons name so I can't ask them more. If I knew how to look into xchats logs, I could perhaps find our old conversation and know the name too, but I don't know how to do that either. [13:36] zetui: why add confusion? [13:36] solars: No but you can try pulseaudio system wide equalizer [13:36] why not just just apt-get [13:36] guys, I have a very strange issue on Ubuntu 11.10 on a new Dell Latitude. Everything works fine when the laptop is on batter power. However, as soon as I plug it in, the mouse pointer movement drags to a crawl and is almost unusable. After unplugging and going back to battery, everything works great. Any ideas what might cause this? [13:36] phlak_user, So this goes against your understanding of things anyway? [13:36] zetui: symply type aptitude [13:36] and I'm getting ready to do a presentation, I'm in a bit of a situation (need the power) [13:36] truepurple, not really [13:37] soreau, what is it called? [13:37] *how [13:37] solars: Something not provided in ubuntu repos [13:37] ok [13:37] jbwiv__, have you something like jupiter installed? [13:38] solars: lol, why do you recommend it then? [13:38] solars: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/02/pulseaudio-system-wide-equalizer-now.html [13:38] phlak_user, not that I'm aware of. what is jupiter? [13:38] soreau, thanks a lot [13:38] phlak_user, Didn't you say the drivers etc gotten under unity were the same as the ones under gnome? So why would I need to be in unity to get the drivers working? [13:38] although something in ubuntu repos would be better [13:39] where can i find dwm config when i installed it? [13:39] right so now ubuntu 11.10 has gnome 3 now [13:39] solars: This is an experimental package so try at your own risk [13:39] does it even take too much system resources [13:39] no, i would like apt connect [13:39] truepurple, you have started with an assumption which i cant validate; for example if i needed to install drivers for my wireless, it wouldnt matter what wm i was using [13:39] use install [13:39] package [13:39] i really want to install Ubuntu in my Pentium III [13:39] in the same Way of myqsl [13:39] zetui: write your own package manager [13:39] that would be better [13:39] it does not exist [13:39] what you think ppl ? [13:40] running /etc/init.d/acpi-support briefly fixes the issue [13:40] but it comes right back [13:40] jbwiv__, just a way of tweaking system resources (on my laptop it helps me change performance mode from max performance to high performance to power saver [13:40] /etc/init.d/acpi-support stop rather [13:40] zetui: You could file a bug to request such an interface but I do not see a wide use case for it [13:40] hmm, does anyone here have M1330 and has found solution for brightness control problems? [13:41] jbwiv__, it might be worth your while to tail -f /var/log/syslog when you plug in the power cord [13:41] phlak_user, But I asked you "So this goes against your understanding of things anyway?" And you replied "Not really" [13:41] truepurple, yes [13:41] phlak_user, yeah, did that. nothing much there [13:42] truepurple, i really dont have the time or the inclination to get into a debate right now if you please [13:42] hi, i am trying to find a HTML editor like dreamwever for ubuntu, any suffestions that work with 11.10? [13:42] phlak_user, So if it does not contradict your understanding of things, then why are you saying you can't validate it? Anyway it seems that it does contradict what you said with this before [13:42] Feldegast, bluefish? [13:42] phlak_user, well anyway, I could use some help with getting my video card working right under ubuntu, and my DVD player [13:43] Wanted to tar some files but accidentally specified the name of my html file as target place. It's totally ruined now and I was wondering wether it's possible to decode it ? [13:43] how can i change logon sound on Ubuntu 11.10? [13:43] i'll have a look, i tried 2 others and they didn't work/worked not how i wanted [13:43] phlak_user, would you know how to check the logs of xchat? [13:43] jbwiv__, some people seem to have the same issue long back -> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/ubuntu-edgy-slow-down-when-plugged-to-ac-on-asus-a3a-511422/ [13:44] truepurple, no but you could check the logs of this channel (see the title) [13:44] ?laz0r [13:44] Hi. I wanted to buy a game via Ubuntu Software Center and while it seems as if I logged in successfully (with my UbuntuOne-Details), the payment via credit card is "unsuccessful" with "Reason:refused".

Everything works fine when the laptop is on batter power. However, as soon as I plug it in, the mouse pointer movement drags to a crawl and is almost unusable.

[13:55] what is the java version [13:55] really [13:55] D_Russ: yup. open a terminal and type vo. [13:55] erm, vi [13:55] !info ee [13:55] Package ee does not exist in oneiric [13:55] i need a jdk for 11.10 which one should i download [13:55] !ebox [13:55] zentyal is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Zentyal (Project formally known as eBox - including in Lucid/10.04).

[13:56] sysadamin: i need a gui [13:56] tziOm: use puppet [13:56] ubottu, can I manualy install ee again? I like this much better then vi [13:56] Osa2OsX: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:56] sysadamin: so there is no inbuilt system for this? [13:56] D_Russ: you only think you do.

[13:57] how can add the package ee then? [13:57] sysadamin: seems puppet is some com app, I do not need that-. [13:58] I was wondering if anyone know knows of a way to use some software on an old laptop tied to a few USB web cams to provide home servalence ... I had some ass spray paint a swatiska on my house last night and a few nights ago destroyed some rather expensive plants ... Im kinda broke so I will need to do things on the cheap so I was thinking the web cams [13:58] tziOm: puppet is configuration management [13:58] centralized [13:58] sysadamin: maybe i dont need a gui, but for the sake of getting it done right now with little to no html skills i would like a website creater with a GUI [13:58] D_Russ: what is it you are trying to do? [13:58] is it complicated to connect dsl modem (via usb)? or just point and click type of deal? [13:58] Somebody asked me this about Linux - and I dunno - since I don't have dsl modem or ever tried connecting it via usb. [13:59] build a one page landing page [13:59] Oh also streaming from the laptop to my desktop computer would be great [13:59] for now [13:59] sysadamin: so its not: http://puppetlabs.com/ [13:59] tziOm: it is [13:59] ubottu, how do you know that the package ee isn't available in 11.10 version? [13:59] Osa2OsX: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:00] mneptok: build a landing page [14:00] D_Russ: sudo apt-get install kompozer [14:00] i need a jdk for 11.10 which one should i download [14:00] thank you mneptok [14:01] !info ee [14:01] Package ee does not exist in oneiric [14:01] linuxuz3r: if you mean oracle/sun java, it's no longer on repositories [14:01] D_Russ: *bow* [14:01] oh [14:01] how do i use the oracle sun version [14:01] !info nano [14:01] nano (source: nano): small, friendly text editor inspired by Pico.

Both of my scanners were working, but now the system does not detect them. What has happened? [14:05] xangua: and that's what the numbering means (12 = 20112, .04 = april the fourth month) [14:05] they need to just stop with this 6 month release crap and just realease them when they are rock solid within a reasonable timeline. [14:05] KG: Brother hardware? [14:06] edbian: and you tell this to me instead of linuxuz3r because... [14:06] :/ [14:06] i would rather wait a year and have a bug free release from the start [14:06] D_Russ: there is LTS if you want 'solid rock' [14:06] xangua: I'm not allowed to tell people information? linuxuz3r has to tell you?

If you want to stick to shell scripts, use zenity [14:22] ok zenity ....say i wanted to use perl [14:22] deeman: pick a toolkit... maybe gtk [14:22] mneptok: that isn't much help! :) but for mixed language it is really nice because no other language has first class array objects... can seamless mix with matlab without copying/reallocation and use openmp and vectorised algorithms easily translated from matlab [14:23] i converted an avi videofile to 3gp and the mb sky rocketed from 53 to 201mb how will i compress it [14:23] thrope: This might be a candidate for a gcc bug against the fortran compiler [14:23] hmm darn im such a noob [14:23] mneptok: i have ifort but I like to keep stuff working with gfortran too [14:23] deeman: ask #perl for options [14:23] thrope: Curious though, what still uses fortran?

[14:26] deeman: well look up a hello world example for zenity and see if that's good enough. If not, then look one up for perl (and I'll suggest python to you as well).

Also, I am unable to get wireless connection established? [16:50] It can be a htpc, file server, router, gamebox, torrent node, and do bitcoin mining all in one. [16:50] yes i saw that, and im doing the troubleshooting sequence for the second time without finding any problems [16:50] viliny, do you have alsa driver, library, and utility with same number? [16:50] mike_cucumber: sudo glxinfo | grep -i render [16:50] I have the same problem before [16:50] Spartakus, i do not know [16:51] it was because my driver version in different number [16:51] Spartakus, do you remember how to check? [16:51] Hihi [16:51] wait, I will point you into a website [16:51] thank you sir [16:51] Is there any way to get the global menu to only apply to maximized windows? Having it apply to the whole slew of small windows (terminals, chat window, contact list) I have open is confusing [16:51] szal: direct rendering: Yes [16:51] OpenGL renderer string: GeForce 8400M GS/PCI/SSE2 [16:51] GL_NV_conditional_render, GL_NV_copy_depth_to_color, GL_NV_copy_image, [16:51] GL_NV_path_rendering, GL_NV_pixel_data_range, GL_NV_point_sprite, [16:51] GL_NVX_conditional_render, GL_NVX_gpu_memory_info, GL_OES_depth24, [16:51] GL_OES_fbo_render_mipmap, GL_OES_get_program_binary, GL_OES_mapbuffer, [16:51] mike_cucumber: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:51] viliny, wait a minute [16:51] I have windows 7 on a seperate hard drive, could someone direct me to info on how to shift it onto the drive I'm currently on? [16:51] mike_cucumber: should be working thus [16:52] With 11.10 unity is always acting up on me for since I upgraded. Never had these problems in 11.04. Today launcher wants to hide in the background [16:52] calamity, you want to have linux and windows on the same hd but the windows installation you want to use is on a different physical harddrive? [16:52] bleh, unity. [16:52] szal: ok, but when I run playonlinux it says I have no 3d acceleration [16:52] viliny, exactly :) [16:52] It opens the window when I hit Super but its hidden behind all the windows [16:52] mike_cucumber: its lieing. :) [16:52] viliny, It is actually a quite daunting procedure, but, check it into https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure and go into STEP 3 [16:52] szal: :) [16:53] niranjan: try to reset it: unity --reset [16:53] mike_cucumber: run nvidia-settings see what it says perhaps. [16:53] I am using ubuntu 11.10 and have a Canon CAPT driver running version 2.3 I seem to be getting some app armor problems anyone got expereince with things like that? [16:53] Spartakus, every time i install a linux distro theres a completely ball breaking hitch of some sort so im kinda used to this :) hope it works and thank you! [16:53] dr_willis: what do you wanna know? [16:53] Is there any way to get the global menu to only apply to maximized windows? Having it apply to the whole slew of small windows (terminals, chat window, contact list) I have open is confusing [16:54] Can anyone suggest some thing? [16:54] mike_cucumber: if the driver is not working right - the settings tool will say so. [16:54] viliny, I have upgrade my kernel twice and it broke my sound twice too :D [16:54] dr_willis: Driver version is 280.13 [16:54] mike_cucumber: so it also seems to imply that 3d is working. [16:54] dr_willis: yeah, it all seems to be saying everything is ok [16:54] calamity, partition your linux drive into 2 separate partitions, make sure the one you are making for windows is large enough to accomodate the installation and then use disk ghosting software to copy over the other HD into that partition you just made for windows [16:54] xangua: that helped - now at least I know which application I am switching to when I do alt-tab [16:54] Spartakus, did you use server? [16:55] viliny, no, I use lucid lynx desktop in laptop [16:55] viliny, fair enough. and to actually create this second partition, I assume I"ll most likely need a live cd? [16:55] dr_willis: is there any way I can prove whether or not 3d acceleration is working? [16:55] What would I look to if I want to create a virtual network interface (that shows in the ifconfig list), that I can connect with my userspace program to be able to receive and transmit packets? [16:55] calamity, i'd use gparted on a livecd yes [16:55] dr_willis: something like the equivalent of dxdiag? [16:55] viliny, but the website is worth to check [16:55] viliny, cool, I'll see you kids in a bit then! [16:55] mike_cucumber: run a 3d game. check glxgears output.. [16:55] calamity, you can throw a live cd on a usb stick as well if you are low on cd's [16:55] is there a way to use multiple USB webcam on the same computer at the same time [16:56] ask me how [16:56] donavan01: each one would have its own /dev/video# device [16:56] Spartakus, yes yes! im reading it now :) [16:56] dr_willis: if i run supertuxcart, i get about 1 frame per 10 seconds [16:56] * dr_willis is off to bed. night all. === Kontakt is now known as Friesland [16:57] On my new Ubuntu 11.10 install on Toshiba Satellite P-25 model, the desktop never appears upon logging in, All I have is a white screen.

[16:57] dr_willis so basically I could use say 4 webcams with some software as video survalence? [16:57] For instance, if I wanted to write my own vpn software... [16:58] calamity, unfortunately im not a masochist, so i don't have any hard-to-use programs that require a degree in nasa toilet cleaning to use. All i can point you to is this easy as *¤%" program that i used myself: http://www.easeus.com/disk-copy/ [16:58] works well and was easy [16:58] donavan01, have you looked at zoneminder? [16:58] Where can I download the latest Ubuntu? [16:58] B0g4r7_ no I havent [16:59] bluesky: ubuntu.com [16:59] Bluesky have you tried ubuntu.com ? [16:59] donavan01, I'd recommend checking it out. It's mad eot do what you are describing. [16:59] "made to do" [16:59] I cannot choose a download manager or wget with ubuntu.com, [17:00] What I would like to do is setup a few old laptops in various places around the house with 2 more more webcam attached and have them stream/dump/ftp to server located in a secure location in my home === alienatu is now known as BROLIENATU [17:01] !mirrors | bluesky [17:01] bluesky: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Oneiric, and help keeping the servers' load low!

[17:07] still no sound :( [17:07] viliny: what's wrong? [17:07] azriel: perhaps those in #python can help [17:08] azriel, everything seems fine according to troubleshooting steps but i just can't get sound to work [17:08] auronandace: no those guys are a bunc of jerks, i need to know how to find a specific file on my computer, thats a GNU/Linux problem [17:08] guys how do i set permissions for /var/www so i can upload files to that folder using winscp. I set chown -R user:user /var/www, and i login to ftp with my owner username, still gives me permission denied on copying files [17:08] azriel, using 11.10 server - heres my alsa report: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=583e191a54db7036bf9ddc305c2bf6073003ce30 [17:09] azriel: find .| grep python [17:09] Hello. After upgrading to Oneiric, I can't get X anymore. I just get the Ubuntu... startup screen. I've tried switching to gdm, but that didn't work. What should I do? :( [17:09] I was in here about an hour ago and some people were helping me. [17:10] I got as far as apt-getting nvidia-common and running a configuration script. [17:10] how can I use Ubuntu Mono in xterm? rather what should I edit in ~/.Xdefaults ? [17:10] is there a way to check/re-download modified files using apt? [17:11] monlith: thanks [17:11] hi all [17:11] I also added something like noprobe to grub but that didn't work. [17:11] azriel, anything you can help me with? [17:11] I'm able to ssh into the machine, so I can provide any information about it that would be useful. [17:11] mathgirl, startx [17:11] viliny: well the first problem i see is you're using ubuntu 11.10 (joke), on a more serious note are you using out of the box version or did you modify anything [17:11] Spartakus, [17:11] I have the same problem, but, I switch into other terminal, and type startx [17:11] azriel, should be pretty much out of the box [17:11] it will start X and gnome [17:11] :( [17:12] is it not possible to login to the old school desktop anymore ? [17:12] Spartakus, it's actually frozen at the ubuntu..... startup screen. I can't switch to another terminal via Ctrl-Alt F3 [17:12] I can run it from the ssh terminal [17:12] mathgirl, oh, i see, then it is a different problem with mine [17:12] Spartakus: X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting. [17:12] xinit: giving up [17:13] mathgirl, that sounds like a problem [17:13] viliny: Which kind of problem? [17:13] The people helping me an hour ago seemed to think it was about my video card. [17:13] mathgirl, I am sorry, I can not help you, because I am also a Linux beginner user :D [17:13] mathgirl, well the if you aren't allowed to run the x server... but that aside, i don't think i know how to help you there [17:13] viliny: I'm sorry, i was hoping it was a installation problem, i have those al the time, but your alsa says that's not the problem [17:13] Spartakus, that's okay. [17:14] Everything was fine before I upgraded to oneiric. [17:14] now see never uprade [17:14] I started at Lucid, then upgraded to Meerkat no problme. === BROLIENATU is now known as aliengypsy [17:14] azriel, yeah im peewed, everything seems fine but either theres no sound or i've gone deaf [17:14] Then I upgraded to Natty no problem. [17:14] the first one being more likely [17:14] always download the new version back up everything and re install [17:14] But when i went from Natty to Oneiric I got this problem. [17:14] azriel, I also stay on Lucid, never upgrade :D [17:14] I mean distribution upgrade [17:15] in-place upgrading from maverick to natty leaves you with the old Grub, right? [17:15] If I wanted that much bother, I'd be using Debian. I thought this was Linux for humans. [17:15] spartikus: *high five* [17:15] thebishop: is that true? [17:15] might be worth doing a re-format from pre-unity version [17:15] mathgirl, thought so [17:15] mathgirl: linux for humans is like saying free money, it never works in the end [17:15] thebishop: i don't think so, i think karmic was the last to use grub legacy [17:15] thebishop, so it might be a grub problem? [17:15] the huma aspect is the effort you have to put into it [17:15] !grub1 | thebishop [17:15] thebishop: grub 1 is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub for Karmic onwards [17:16] how to use microphone in ubuntu 10.04 [17:16] mathgirl, i didn't see your original post but if you can ssh, it's probably not a grub issue [17:17] thebishop, that's what makes it so mysterious. [17:17] problem with installing android sdk in ubuntu 11.10 for development [17:17] The machine's screen is frozen at ubuntu..... but I can ssh and do anything I want. [17:17] would something from dmesg help? [17:17] mathgirl, if you can ssh, you might try changing the runlevel so you can at least log into console locally [17:18] Hi there I have a live cd from UBUNTU I also9 have ones that I have burned. on the one that I have from ubuntu I installed because I got a busybox on that last partition. afer install I started to upgrade and as soon as I hit sudo apt-get upgrde my mouse will not work on that partition at all anymore. I can get to the terminl and all the hot keys work. it is just the mouse that will not work. I alsoknow that the mouse is good because I am using [17:18] it right not on a different partition that is also ubuntu. Any suggestions ? [17:18] vishwas, I am using Lucid too, but it seems that microphone works just fine because in the sound preferences, when I am talking something, the input level follow my voice [17:18] seriously mathgirl just back everything up and reinstall the new version, upgrading comes with ALOT of problems [17:18] I can login to the console locally by starting in recovery mode. Is that any different? [17:18] bobweaver, is it a p2p mouse [17:18] dmesg also sees mouse [17:18] urlin2u: nope interneal pad [17:18] backup and re install? ugh. [17:19] hi all, can anyone tell me if this is normal... when I change things in gnome-shell, (say, install a shell-extension), I have to logout and back in again for it to take effect. even alt+f2 'r' doesn't show the newly install extension in tweak tool [17:19] azriel, I can always perform a fresh install (with all the time and prep it takes). I'm trying to see if that can be avoided. [17:19] I find it funny that the cd is from ubuntu and mine work great :>) [17:19] Especially considering everything works except X. [17:19] I shouldn't have to logout to see most UI changes take effect [17:19] I shouldn't have to logout to install an extension [17:20] vishwas, Ah, yes, I have just recorded my singing in 10.04, and it works good :D [17:20] this is a step backwards IMO [17:20] anyone has any idea about this : http://scrp.at/aGr ... its not completely a php thing .. sessions stopped working after my laptop crashed and i backed up its hard-disk in another PC, and then when things were fine, i put it back in [17:21] hi, there [17:21] im still having trouble resetting sound to its former loudness. [17:21] is there a way to do it without alsamixer? (and without reinstallation?) [17:21] neurochrome, its as if you think we care anything of your opinion or that canonical does as well [17:21] thebishop, should I really change the runlevel, or is logging in via recovery mode the same? [17:21] I love ubuntu 11.10 !! It is awesome and seems to work great but the mouse ... on the other hand ...\ [17:21] mathgirl: did you pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log already (or have a look in it yourself)? [17:21] mathgirl, if you can log in via recovery, do that [17:21] szal, I only do as I'm told. [17:21] I'll paste it now. [17:21] hi there, has anyone installed android sdk in ununtu 11.10 [17:21] I am going to try and log into that partition and see if I can get it going [17:22] sounds like you're having X problems to me [17:22] !busybox [17:22] urlin2u, wow, very friendly of you [17:22] any php guy here ?? [17:22] mathgirl: well, when searching for X-related errors this is about the 1st place to look :) [17:22] neurochrome, seems appropriate it is the truth. [17:22] anyone has any idea about this : http://scrp.at/aGr ... its not completely a php thing .. sessions stopped working after my laptop crashed and i backed up its hard-disk in another PC, and then when things were fine, i put it back in [17:22] urlin2u, but... is this behaviour normal?

I wanna use pidgin ;) [17:25] i no longer have a network interface [17:25] bobweaver, just like metacity or window maker [17:25] mathgirl: one of your previous pastes seemed to suggest that you have packages to update; I'd suggest you run 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' [17:25] Spartakus: it is used for only certain sitiuations ? [17:25] а где русские? О_о [17:25] :DD [17:25] ubuntu-ru ? [17:25] what are paramiters to that sitiuation ? [17:26] there are too many people here [17:26] bobweaver, no, basically no.

[19:31] tawtaw: ah as it seems you can use "apt-get source linux" to always get the current source-package [19:31] iceroot: ok my bad, the lowlatency package my cousin uses is not getting that [19:32] As I said, I'm new to this. What is the gnome-tweak tool? [19:32] dmz the panel is the topbar if the window is maximised' [19:32] tawtaw: that command is pulling from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git-repos/ubuntu/ubuntu-oneiric.git [19:32] DRDD: a tool to make the gnome-shell experience somewhat more tolerable [19:32] lapion the window isn't maximized [19:32] lapion this only happened on my 11.10 upgrade; was good before then [19:32] DRDD, you install it and then run gnome-tweak-tool in the terminal to get a gui yiou will see. [19:32] you* [19:32] dmz what application ? [19:33] lapion when i open a window (any window) it puts the top (draggable) bar behind the top notices panel on top of screen - for anything i open [19:33] Thanks for the information. I'll try to look it up. [19:33] for firefox/thunderbird/terminal window/..... [19:33] dmz that only happens when window is maximised [19:33] apt-get source linux-image-3.0.0-13-lowlatency-pae is not installing the source, i dont get it :/ should i download the source seperatly and then apply the lowlatency files when i build it? [19:33] sorry but it is happening with all windows i open [19:33] i'm happy to give you a screenshot [19:34] i've been using linux since 0.5; so i am not misunderstanding what i see [19:34] tawtaw: where should this "lowlatency" came from? [19:35] riffautae: I got the new server setup, and I have x installed as well as openbox. Now i need to choose a vnc server. My person is such that i just need to login and see what is running. (the things running will have been started by either an ssh command or some all to an apache server running on the box). Any recommendations for vnc servers. Here it looks like they recommend against tightvnc: [19:35] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC/Servers [19:35] tawtaw: sounds like very strange gaming-server-kernels [19:35] lapion i wouldn't be asking if it wasn't happening; and i don't maximize all my windows as i have 4 monitors & each is 1920x1080 so i've got lots of realestate [19:35] iceroot: ii linux-headers-3.0.0-13-lowlatency-pae 3.0.0-13.21~ppa1 Linux kernel headers for version 3.0.0 on x86 [19:35] its for music studios [19:35] not gaming [19:35] tawtaw: ppa not supported here [19:35] ah [19:35] ok :) [19:35] ubuntustudio i think [19:35] tawtaw: ask the maintainer of that ppa for the sourcecode [19:35] ok i will thanks iceroot [19:36] tawtaw: also that package is "headers" and not "image" [19:36] iceroot: one last question, how do i find out which ppa a package came out of ? [19:36] tawtaw: apt-cache policy packagename [19:38] hmm compiz window-placement...seems to help a little [19:39] friskd: looks like x11vnc will do what you want [19:39] friskd: tightvnc will require more work to make the script show firefox on the vnc display [19:40] riffautae: yea. That is what i figured and since im so new.. i just need something that is easy. === jack is now known as Guest68418 === derp is now known as douche [19:41] can any one guide me on installing a driver into ubuntu?

[20:05] Anyone have issue runnign Ubuntu on Dell 990 Optiplexes [20:05] reisio, nope, just a plain ordinary BIOS [20:05] EFI seems to screw up [20:05] what does it mean when i do "ls -l" and one of the folders is a different color than the others? [20:05] reisio, I had restored the same image on the same disc before without no issues at all [20:05] zteam: what's the dd command you used?

[20:12] well it could be some other loader [20:12] zteam: what're your other partitions? [20:14] 2 questions: 1) how do we access "Connect to server" with unity? 2) how do we edit a launcher's properties with unity? [20:14] Anyoen have issues with 11.10 booting on EFI machines? [20:14] hi, can someone help me creating a new partition in the unallocated space. it was showing error like "not possible to create more than 4 partitions" [20:14] i was using gparted [20:14] reisio, ops, double, checked it, it was on sda2 this time and that partition is bootable and where I did install Ubuntu [20:15] this is how my current partition space looks like http://goo.gl/QjeOw [20:15] zteam: well you must have done something different [20:15] r3b00tx: why do you want more partitions [20:16] reisio, simple, want to install windows xp for some bios upgrade [20:16] reisio, I restored my BIOS settings before I restarted the system to see if that changed anything, but it didn't [20:18] r3b00tx: you appear to have used up your primary partitions [20:18] reisio, however sda2 is the orginal path to that partition [20:18] r3b00tx: probably dd backup that sda2 and use that space [20:18] reisio, even the extended partition thing right, only one i hope [20:18] Kartagis: for your first question, click the home folder icon in the launcher, then File/Connect to server... [20:18] zteam: if you can't think of anything try just restoring again [20:18] Hello, where can I configure Optical Drive pooling? I can monitor activity with iwatch, but it dosn't show what application is doing the actions. [20:19] reisio, I have tried this about 4 times now [20:19] r3b00tx: I think there are some other options, though: http://www.google.com/search?q=update%20bios%20from%20linux [20:19] ohh, polling not pool. [20:19] reisio, tats some dell recovery files i hope. can i restore it back? coz i dont wanna end up voiding warranty [20:19] now google is more helpfull. === em_ is now known as x0r [20:19] zteam: with an image that you have previously used that worked fine? [20:20] reisio, yes [20:20] hello, everyone [20:20] r3b00tx: yes you just dd if=/dev/sda2 of=/some/place/to/put/sda2.img, install over it with Windows and when you're done dd if=/sda2.img of=/dev/sda2 [20:20] i have some problems with my gnome-terminal [20:20] it's always on top [20:20] reisio, I also tried to chroot to my old system and did perform update-grub it went smooth with no errors [20:20] r3b00tx: some other options you might want to use with dd, but that's the basic [20:20] what i can to do, to solve this problem? [20:21] reisio, ye i was aware of those options. have to go with tat since i got no choice [20:21] r3b00tx: well I think have you have got choices, as I already said, but suit yourself :p [20:21] reisio, hey this backing up thing is cool instead of installing bios under linux [20:21] Kartagis: for the second problem, launchers just point to desktop files, so if you save the .desktop file to ~/.local/share/applications, you can edit it with a text editor and then drag and drop it back to the launcher [20:21] but wot exactly is tat dd? [20:21] :D [20:22] r3b00tx: it makes copies of data [20:22] reisio, any backup tool like rsync [20:22] r3b00tx: what about rsync? [20:22] so, what i should to do, men) [20:22] how to rescue deleted files on an encrypted ext3 volume? [20:22] reisio, I orginally tried to restore my system using a 32-bit ubuntu usb-stick, maybe that did screw something up? [20:22] Kartagis: or if you install gnome-panel, you can use: gnome-desktop-item-edit ~/.local/share/applications/launcher_name.desktop; to use the old gui dialog to edit one [20:22] zteam: I don't see how [20:22] zteam: but again, if it worked in the past and it doesn't now, clearly something has changed [20:22] reisio, my system is 64-bit [20:23] zteam: yeah but dd shouldn't care about that, I don't think [20:23] yes, but I don't know [20:23] reisio, got it. asked is it something like rsync. never mind. l [20:23] what [20:23] reisio thanks buddy [20:23] trism: hmm, I don't need unity launcher editor then [20:23] raven: how'd you delete them? [20:23] i think i got a trojan on my pc [20:23] how can i get rid of it? [20:24] daemon -- udisks --inhibit-polling /dev/sr1 -- tail -f /dev/null; hal-disable-polling --device /dev/sr1; [20:24] reisio, I did cancel dd once too, but as far as I know it should just overwrite that next time it's run right? [20:24] reisio, moved to an ntfs drive and ntfs now crashed - shit m$ [20:24] gnome-terminal - always on top, it't terrible.... [20:24] *it's [20:24] Hi channel, I have a sorta specialised question. I'm trying to build some software for reduction of astronomical data from a certain observatory, but the build process breaks down saying I need a certain GSL library. However, on my work desktop that runs Lucid Lynx, I have the exact same GSL-related packages installed (one less, in fact), and the same software package installs without a glitch. Has Ubuntu shipped a mod [20:24] ified version of GSL with Oneiric? [20:24] zteam: AFAIK yes [20:25] raven: try photorec [20:25] trism: where do I find the .desktop file? /usr/share/applications/? [20:25] raven: so the FS is failing, you didn't actually delete them? [20:25] reisio, i moved from an encrypted ext3 to an ntfs === sysadamin is now known as sysadamin|away [20:26] how would i automount my ipod touch 2g in an openbox session like i can in regular gnome? [20:26] what distro do you guys recommend for a server for django (apache and postgres)? Thanks [20:26] Kartagis: yes, they are usually there [20:26] raven, Like I said try with photorec, it should be able to recover your files [20:27] raven, maybe Testdisk is able to undelete them as well [20:27] zteam, from the ntfs or the ext3? [20:27] hello i want to try a distro that works out of the box and doesnt have too much hardware requirements [20:27] leo_: what's too much [20:28] raven, photorec is able to handle both [20:28] i only have 512mb of ram [20:28] ok [20:28] and a p4 [20:28] leo_: you might try Lubuntu [20:28] cosming: ubuntu-server would work fine [20:28] is it official? [20:28] leo_: yes [20:28] leo_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems [20:29] because i heard that unofficial varieties of distros dont work well [20:29] since they dont pay much attention to them [20:29] leo_: there's no regulatory entity for Linux distributions [20:29] leo_: its is official as of 11.10 [20:29] Lubuntu is an official derivative of Ubuntu, according to Canonical, who runs Ubuntu [20:29] trism: can you give me a /me to test? [20:29] leo_, you can always try and run it from a live medium, and see how it works for you. That's the best way to find out. [20:29] riffautae: thanks ... would debian stable be better in any way than ubuntu lts server? === derp is now known as PatarSymonds [20:30] leo_: for the most part Ubuntu's derivative distros only differ in what desktop environment is preinstalled [20:30] what about xubuntu [20:30] leo_: can try it [20:30] cosming: That's a $car_maker vs. $car_maker debate right there. [20:30] cosming: sorry i have no experience with debian stable, but i do run ubuntu-lts on several servers [20:30] 512MB is definitely pushing it for GNOME, though === PatarSymonds is now known as derp [20:30] leo_, Xubuntu isn't all that light weight anymore. [20:31] reisio, is there any way to reinstall grub? [20:31] zteam: yup [20:31] riffautae: thanks a lot [20:31] oh really? [20:31] zteam: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [20:31] how much more does it need? [20:31] memory? [20:31] leo_: if you got up to 1GB or 2GB you could use whatever you want really [20:31] might check http://www.crucial.com/ for a deal [20:31] * trism wonders what Kartagis is doing. [20:31] WanderingEnder: do you have experience with a $car_maker ? [20:31] :D [20:32] leo_, Don't know, haven't seen any benchmarks, but it is closer to Gnome than to LXDE [20:32] dont have money for adding memmory === Mud is now known as Guest34566 [20:32] As far as I am informed [20:32] what about gnome... will it work on my cpu? [20:32] cosming: I have a little experience from about 2 years ago. I have run CentOS and Ubuntu mixed, and now just run Ubuntu. [20:33] leo_, also, I guess you'd prefer having a distro that also leaves some memory for, you know, your productivity software :-) [20:33] it didn't work :S [20:33] leo_, gnome is definitely the heavier of the three [20:33] Can someone remind me, I forgot what the package is called that does similar to what ntpasswd bootdisc does. [20:33] and witch would be more stabel: centos or ubuntu from your experience? [20:34] leo_: it'll work, personally I'd probably find it too slow [20:34] Kartagis: what are you trying to do? [20:34] leo_: easy way to find out, though: install it [20:34] CentOS has a longer lag time for packages. I have done commercial web hosting, cosming, and we had issues from our clients about lacking 5.3 PHP support. [20:34] cosming: That's why we run Ubuntu now. We get features sometime this year to roll out, not whenever RHEL feels like it. [20:34] what did they need PHP 5.3 for? [20:35] trism: unless I start kvirc with en_US.UTF-8, I get weird stuff [20:35] Some Joomla thing, Reisio. [20:35] sounds like some unstable nonsense :p [20:35] xD [20:35] you could've installed PHP 5.3 on CentOS :p [20:35] reisio: I did that once, it lacks some things like mbstring in yum. [20:35] WanderingEnder: thanks for the share [20:35] I'm sure CentOS 6 has support. [20:36] if you can't install packages that don't exist in the repos, I'm not sure you should be running a server [20:36] I look at it like this: Do I really need Red Hat Enterprise Linux, minus the 5k a month support? [20:36] also if you can't say no to clients who want frivolous unstable software [20:37] well, what you benefit from even without the paid support is all the Fedora and RHEL testing leading to more stable software [20:37] part of the point of servers being, arguably, to stay online [20:37] reisio: Their application required something, so we gave it to them. And I've never had downtime issues with Ubuntu Server. [20:37] * pnorman_desktop found out he has a defective SATA card [20:37] Kartagis: in natty, I often had to change the name of a launcher if I edited it in ~/.local/share/applications, otherwise the version in /usr/share/applications would override it (the Name= key in the .desktop file) [20:38] Kartagis: I haven't used unity enough in oneiric to know if that is still an issue [20:38] WanderingEnder: how about issues [20:38] WanderingEnder: You can always get Ubuntu support: http://www.canonical.com/enterprise-services/ubuntu-advantage/server [20:38] jpds: >.> Yeah, I'm a canonical partner/reseller/whatever. Never needed it myself. :) [20:39] reisio, thanks, I'm trying Boot Repair now [20:39] trism: do I need to copy it to ~/.local/share/applications? [20:39] how would one mount an ipod touch in rhythmbox using an openbox session instead of gnome in ubuntu [20:39] reisio: I haven't had an issue with Ubuntu Server. I had one issue on a VPS, but that was the data center blowing up. On VM, Xen, and real boxes, no issues. [20:39] Kartagis: it is usually a good idea if you are editing it, otherwise updates can wipe out your changes (after editing, drag and drop it back to the panel, or you won't get the new version) [20:40] WanderingEnder: that's impressive, how long? [20:40] trism: editing in /usr/share/applications/ didn't do it [20:40] anyway, I'm off [20:41] later [20:41] Kartagis: good luck [20:41] Latest VMWare images are 8 months, the VPS was about 1 year, then a restart to get more RAM, then back up. Then... DC exploded, so... that was some downtime...

I think that what I want is to do a chmod -R g+s .. but only to directories.. do you know how to apply it only to d? [21:13] I m curious why ports I forward in my router still arent accesible despite UFW being disabled and have active services listening on them on the inside [21:14] SilfenX: your modem might also have NAT or be blocking them [21:15] it has been working until a day or so ago [21:16] hi [21:16] epaphus: disabled and have active services listening [21:16] How do i start an x11 session?

With chmod g+s I can inherit the ownership of all files created within a given folder... however is there anyway I can make it so it inherits permissions when creating a new file inside that directory to 664 ? [21:20] epaphus: you can use acls for this [21:20] epaphus: but you have to install the feature, and remount your fs with acls, then you can use the tool setfacl to set advanced permissions on folders etc. Quite handy === moustafa_ is now known as moustafa [21:21] does anyone know if you can dual boot backtrack 5 with Ubuntu 11.10 [21:22] bkins: you can dual boot virtually any OS (Linux or not) with virtually any other OS [21:22] yes, you can bkins [21:22] bkins: however since backtrack 5 and Ubuntu are both Ubuntu, I question the reasonableness of doing so [21:22] friskd: i believe is startx , not xstart [21:22] I trying to figure out why poerts I have forwarded in my router arent accessible despite UFW being disabled and services actively listening on the inside on the ports [21:23] ÕÓÉ.

[21:24] xangua: shouldn't after i did that install... Shouldn't it be available? [21:25] thanks calamity [21:25] LukaszTarkowski: sosi. [21:25] friskd: do you have a desktop enviroment¿ [21:25] so i will need to patition my hard drive or will it do it when using a live cd [21:25] I like the dock bar the new Ubuntu has [21:25] xangua: i installed openbox. [21:25] looks like more like Mac [21:26] xangua: sudo apt-get install openbox [21:26] friskd: openbox is just a window manager [21:26] xangua: do i need a desktop env [21:26] I also use UbuntuOne for backup :) [21:26] xangua: all i want to be able to do is vnc into the box and run firefox.

I tried apt-get install acroread and it didn't exist... [21:28] tomodachi, does acls offer a lot more features.. security wise? [21:28] Trioke: it does seem to not be in the repos [21:28] xangua: so i can't just use xserver and openbox and then insta the x11vnc [21:28] *install [21:28] Trioke: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AcrobatHowTo [21:28] epaphus: well you have a much more fine-grained control than ordinary linux file permissions. It's worth it and not really that hard to set up [21:28] reisio: Thanks. [21:29] I don't really need all the "desktop stuff" [21:29] tomodachi, thanks [21:29] but my problem still remains. After doing : sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-core why isn't startx availabe? [21:31] Somthing is blocking ports and afaik I m not running an active firewall on the system at the moment. The ports are also forwarded in my router. What could be causing this? [21:31] what is the best disk format to to use for virtual disks? how does performance compare? qemu? kvm? virtualbox? vmwarE? [21:32] join #android-dev [21:32] ffuu [21:32] Is it normal for a software raid array to do a resync after creation? [21:33] hanasaki: I assume kvm will out perform all others [21:33] hanasaki: and qemu will come in last [21:34] ITALY???? [21:35] ITALY????? [21:36] ITALYYYYYYYYYY???????

(per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [21:38] hi guys, the bar at the top of the screen which in 11.10 shows the file edit etc menu's for maximized items, can anyone tell me what this is officially called? I have an issue with it not displaying on one monitor after upgrading to 11.10 and need to google lol [21:38] I can't seem to get thunderbird to launch. I constantly recieve an error of failed to create drawable. [21:39] The unity panel? [21:39] at the top pooky, not the unity panel as that works fine. but I am unable for example to access the menu's in xchat or minimize etc atm as it is on my screen without the top menu lol. [21:41] Phlunk3: that thing on the left side is called "launcher", the one on the top is still "panel" (I believe) [21:41] if i want to change the hostname on an ubuntu machine, the only places i have to worry about is /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts, right? [21:41] are* [21:41] thanks guntbert [21:41] Discovered an interesting bug. I accidentally logged in under Ubuntu 2D, instead of 3D like I was expecting. While trying to get Unity to not ignore the Compiz settings, I was able to start Unity 3D on top of Unity 2D. This gave me two launcher bars, one on top of the other. [21:41] !hostname | cyphase [21:41] cyphase: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. [21:41] Phlunk3: you're welcome :-) [21:42] guntbert, yea, just checking if there's anywhere else. but i guess not :). thanks [21:42] Hello . . . I have introduced many people to Linux, and in most cases they have adopted Ubuntu. The transition is in generaly seemless, and fundamentaly astonishing as the case generaly stems from Linux breathing life into what was mistaken as a dead machine. [21:42] AbuMaia: sounds like a bug. If you would like to help out. You could check launchpad.net to see if there are any duplicates. If not register it as a new bug [21:42] tomodachi: Will do, friend [21:43] cyphase: no worries, I was just too lazy to properly read and sent you the factoid instead :) [21:43] reisio: why is that qemu last and kvm best? will qemu-kvm be the same as kvm and supported in ubuntu? [21:43] !ot | Technicus [21:43] Technicus: #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! [21:43] hanasaki: qemu-kvm is kvm [21:43] ah [21:43] hanasaki: kvm is basically qemu remade to be part of the kernel and have hardware virtualization extensions support [21:43] what ist he best disk format to use reisio [21:43] Alright, I'm stumped. I have windows 7 sitting in an ntfs partition, next to ubuntu, grub can see both of them, but for some reason, trying to boot to windows just drops me back to grub [21:43] People praise what the new operating system awards them with. One of the questions I get a lot is: "Where is the undue button?" So I ask, is there a global undue button? [21:44] hanasaki: their capabilities should be about the same, only kvm will be much faster [21:44] hanasaki: I assume whatever kvm uses will be fine [21:44] hanasaki: qcow? [21:44] reisio: does kvm require any guest additions like vmware / vbox? [21:44] "undue" lolz [21:44] hanasaki: I don't think so, it might be a little behind vbox & vmware in that regard [21:44] pooky: It is a question I get asked a lot. [21:45] hanasaki: but I'm sure in time it won't be [21:45] hanasaki: for a kvm GUI frontend checkout virt-manager [21:45] reisio: well as you say it will perform best and not need guest additions.. best of both worlds :) [21:45] I'm also running Komodo and Firefox on the same install. But I do not recieve the same "failed to create drawable" error. I heard Thunderbird was to be the default mail clinet, so I'm trying to just check it out. [21:45] Technicus: "undo" [21:46] hanasaki: well I don't think it _has_ a guest additions, so for things like automatic screen resizing, you will probably have to just do without for now [21:46] hmmm [21:46] hanasaki: since kvm is newer, it will take time for things like that to be made available [21:47] Technicus: "undue" would crudely mean "un owe", where as "undo" would mean "un action" [21:47] hanasaki: but since it should perform in general better than the others, I assume those features will come [21:47] reisio: I do like the full screen and resize [21:47] hanasaki: yes VirtualBox is handy for that, and seemless mode [21:47] okay guys sorry but I can't seem to find an answer online thus far. I have just done a fresh installation of ubuntu and have to use ubuntu 2d due to my graphics card not supporting enough resolution otherwise for both my monitors. My issue is that on my monitor with the unity panel the top menu is not displaying, can anyone point me in the right direction to get this solved? [21:47] seamless* [21:47] reisio: kvm is linux only.. that is one thing that will keep some vm's in the other tools [21:48] hanasaki: I would ignore vmware altogether, it only has a few things it can do that kvm and VirtualBox cannot, AIUI [21:48] hanasaki: yes, for those poor souls who can't use Linux :p [21:49] Phlunk3, how are you trying to make the menu appear? [21:49] pooky: So much for trying to understand English. [21:49] robin0800, I am not trying to make it appear, I presumed it should just be there. For example I am now using xchat and it is filling the entire monitor and there is no option bar at the top with like "file" and "edit" etc [21:50] Anyone have issues with Ubuntu 11,10 on EFI machines [21:50] trashguy: I believe that's in the release notes [21:50] apparently to run an x server you do capital X [21:50] trashguy: sounds familiar [21:50] not startx [21:50] Technicus: It's a rediculous language. Though congrats on knowing more than one. I only speak english and I'm still terrible at it. === denny- is now known as denny [21:51] bdrewery: After install it just won't boot the OS even though it shows up in EFI [21:51] Phlunk3, its mouse over or the alt key [21:52] robin0800, I am not trying to make it appear, I presumed it should just be there.

Can I remove copyrights, logos symbolism of Ubuntu in .iso and rename OS? [22:35] That's hardly making your own OS. [22:35] bobweaver, not sure that's what you want but maybe you could try this : ffmpeg -f x11grab -s $(xwininfo -root | awk '/geometry/ {print $2}') -i :0.0 -b 800k -y output.avi [22:35] Thats just copying some one else os and calling it your own [22:36] glebihan, SWEET [22:36] bye bye for now [22:37] smartadam12years: That's what CentOS does with RHEL, but that's not "you're own OS," that's just a distribution. [22:37] Also, it looks like vino is badly broken in 11.10 [22:37] i.e. all lawfully? [22:37] Quick question, I'm on 10.04, and I'm wondering if there's any way to *hide* the application header so that the application's inner window is flush against the top. An example off of the top of my head would be how Chrome behaves, its tabs are flush against the top of the screen without any sort of "Google Chrome" header at the top. [22:37] Anyone have an ide why this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DellBIOS didn't work? I have the option, I copy-pasted everything, except of course the FILENAME.img part.

[22:39] glebihan, time to make a alais [22:39] bobweaver, good idea ;) [22:40] wow thats crazy long. now don't get upset but from what I know about Debian is that they let things get REALLY old before they're updated. Now I don't expect lts to be bleeding edge but I don't want to miss out on features that would say, prevent me from running the latest version of Joomla on there [22:40] i think i can do it [22:40] or make something in /usr/share/applications/new.desktop :>) [22:40] How do I set a device to be mounted on startup? [22:41] DrManhattan, well don't stick with LTS versions if you want recent packages [22:42] Why is the screen green when I execute a video on ubuntu 11.10?? === ubuntu is now known as Kaos___ [22:42] why won't skype let me communicate? [22:42] I'm looking for relatively recent, not neccesarily bleeding or cutting edge but recent enough not to be considered old [22:42] specifically the mysql, php, and apache [22:43] and dont make me use WAMP because then I'll start acting like a chimpanzee [22:43] Who using BolgenOS? [22:43] give me lamp or give me devolution [22:43] luca: I don't know if it may be your problem, but that happens to me when watching videos with a large load on my system and it can't render the frames properly. Might be useful to hear your computer's specs and which program you use. [22:44] does anyone build couchdb from the build-couchdb convenience repo [22:44] help please [22:45] smartadam12years, your question sounds something sort of offtopic for here, what is this bolgenos/ [22:45] OttifantSir: This problem is only on Ubuntu 11.10 not on Ubuntu 11.04 why? I can use a generic problem but the problem is the same [22:45] why won't skype let me communicate? [22:46] stfu [22:46] Hello, I'm currently using linux Mint, is there a way to switch to ubuntu without reinstalling from a boot disk, and just changing the repos to point to ubuntu sources and do a full update? [22:46] JasonGriffee, skype isn't an official package of ubuntu, you might need to search their website and ask on their forums for more information. [22:47] JasonGriffee just u noob [22:47] DrManhattan: Use 10.04 LTS. On the Apache, PHP and MySQL end, you won't have any problems. === haji is now known as magg [22:47] sweet. Thank you. [22:47] I'm running Ubuntu 10.04LTS, and whenever I do a file transfer from any machine to my linux box, either via SCP or SFTP, sshd spins at 100% cpu, and the transfer runs at a crawl of 5mbytes/second. Anyone know what might cause this? [22:48] go using asterisk [22:48] luca: I am just a user, so I can't help you with much, but you might open System Monitor (gnome-system-monitor) and see which processes are taking the most CPU and RAM. DON'T QUIT OR KILL WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW!! If say, Thunderbird has run rampant, that might be the problem. I have an old machine so I do it a lot. You get to to Quit/Kill through right-click on process [22:48] and patch skype for asterisk [22:49] Nahibelg, no you have to reinstall [22:49] ? [22:49] i can? [22:50] hi [22:50] luca: Another option might be that you have enabled too many effects. Are you using proprietary drivers or open source for your graphics card? I saw a marked improvement in speed with nVidia's drivers over the nouveau drivers. [22:50] what's the default irc client for ubuntu ? [22:51] MSG nickserv info [22:51] Hello. How do I set up an Ntfs partition to Mount on startup? [22:51] think its pidgeon manhunter [22:51] manhunter: Empathy is the default IRC client [22:51] lordjj, one sec i'll google that for you and point you at one of about 800 guides.. brb [22:51] YOu know what, with the last nvidia drivers and video in firefox/flash, my video looked like crap too [22:51] i mean irc client to connect irc.freenode.net [22:51] across a couple of different distros on the same hardware [22:51] heh [22:52] ubuntu, fedora, opensuse, and mint [22:52] glebihan: rats... thx anyway [22:52] quite disappointing [22:52] lordjj, http://www.google.com/cse?cx=partner-pub-9300639326172081%3A5191442144&ie=UTF-8&sa=Search&q=how+to+setup+ntfs+partition+on+boot+ubuntu&hl=en#gsc.tab=0&gsc.q=how%20to%20setup%20ntfs%20partition%20on%20boot%20ubuntu&gsc.page=1 [22:53] take your pick [22:53] when I intalled chromium flash worked MUCH better. I don't know what the deal was, or what was responsible, but that particular combination of drivers/programs/versions really was not too positive [22:53] 'Hi all! I want make my own OS! Can I remove copyrights, logos symbolism of Ubuntu in .iso and rename OS? [22:53] manhunter: So do I. You have to set up an IRC account in Empathy. Maybe you have to install some packages. Always switch back to Pidgin on every new release, so I don't remember. [22:54] smartadam12years, troll elsewhere, or learn LFS and make your own OS. [22:54] DrManhattan that's because chromium integrats flash [22:54] Malgorath: i dont think hes trolling [22:54] think he just means a custom cd [22:54] yeah well, flash video is just much better in it lordjj. They do a very good job [22:55] im not trol just help me please make my own OS [22:55] on base Ubuntu [22:55] smartadam12years, go google: linux from scratch [22:55] smartadam12years, you already asked and have already been answered about that [22:55] is there a flag I can set in apt so it does NOT prune older deb files unless I tell it to? I would like to share /var/cache/apt/archives across multiple servers while I'm doing a version upgrade, and don't want anything removed until all the machines are done === BaNz is now known as Alex`aw [22:57] what that? [22:57] generally any time I see people say "flash just wont work in my firefox no matter what I do" I tell them to try out chromium [22:57] smartadam12years: ... What is it you want *exactly*? [22:57] Anyone have an idea why this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DellBIOS didn't work? Everything up until the start of the GRUB-choice went flawlessly, then "error, you must load kernel first, press ENTER to continue", then it returns to GRUB, no harm OR good done. [22:57] !remastersys | smartadam12years [22:57] not! me not sked [22:57] No [22:58] exactly? own OS [22:58] Anyone have any ideas on this: I'm running Ubuntu 10.04LTS, and whenever I do a file transfer from any machine to my linux box, either via SCP or SFTP, sshd spins at 100% cpu, and the transfer runs at a crawl of 5mbytes/second. [22:58] smartadam12years: just use ubuntu normally [22:58] Shdwdrgn, I may be wrong but I think that's the default behavior, nothing gets deleted until you run "apt-get clean" [22:58] !live-debian | smartadam12years [22:58] nope [22:59] smartadam12years: Are you asking how to create your own OS from scratch? Haha, that's *way* out of the scope of this channel, not to mention (apologies in advance) your intellect. [22:59] help plz [22:59] whats the point taking out the logos, you wouldnt heve even done anything [22:59] smartadam12years is a troll guys, he has been anwered many times [22:59] Trioke: <£ [22:59] lb configure .... lb build ????? smartadam12years [22:59] u bad [23:00] enough please. [23:00] OttifantSir, hell, i'd try the wine/winflash version [23:00] glebihan, hmm ok. From what I can see, it looks like there is only one version of each package after running a do-release-upgrade... Maybe that command is running a clean afterwards. [23:00] if the dell was stock, thats how they'd want you to update the bios [23:00] no me not! see on IP! [23:01] even with those old-as-balls dimension 2400s [23:01] glebihan, guess I'll give it a run and see what happens [23:01] smartadam12years: ENOUGH [23:01] so I had ubuntu on a netbook, and my wife shut it down as it was updating (probably dist upgrading). I managed to get it into console mode and force update and now the boot sequence gets stuck while loading X, but I can manually Alt-F1 and startx. manually starting gdm / whatever doesn't work. tried removing grub and gdm and reinstalling, doesn't work (Works but doesn't fix it) [23:01] Shdwdrgn, you may be right, it's possible that it only keeps the most recent version of each package [23:01] s/grub/gnome [23:01] smartadam12years: I'd suggest you step back and ask yourself: What do I want to take with me from Ubuntu, and what do I want to change? Do I want another window manager? Do I want another graphic program, etc etc. Then use remastersys or LFS (if it's possible) or Ubuntu Alternate and just use a minimal install (CLI only) for your base. [23:01] what ENOUGH? [23:02] what is debian-live smartadam12years [23:02] please stop discussing building your own os - it's been said, it's nothing to do with this channel [23:02] curfont, oh that's easy - apt-get remove wife [23:02] DrManhattan: wish it was that easy :D [23:02] remastersys, or lfs. lol [23:02] :D [23:02] im j/k anyhow [23:02] smartadam12years: look up UCK. Ubuntu Customization Kit [23:02] it will do what you want [23:02] when installing ubuntu to eeepc, does it do any special things? [23:02] debian is not ubuntu [23:02] (I selected netbook or something in the install) [23:02] DrManhattan: Are you seriously telling me to run the .exe from within Wine? Or to look up a special addon to, or version of Wine for flashing BIOS? [23:02] lb -config --mode ubuntu [23:03] trool [23:03] [23:03] OttifantSir, read the wiki man [23:03] thx [23:03] Customization Kit i know [23:03] you're the one who posted the link [23:03] ? [23:03] debian bad and old [23:03] smartadam12years: stop now. [23:04] old version of programms [23:04] How are you going to come in here, post a link saying "this doesn't work" and not read the link [23:04] smartadam12years: we will not support you building your own ubuntu build. stop asking [23:04] no [23:04] hepl plz [23:04] lol; [23:04] Hello everyone [23:04] DrManhattan: If you're talking about the Winphlash option, I don't have that option. [23:04] OttifantSir, what dell system is this? [23:04] ubuntu uses live debian ? [23:04] smartadam12years: it is not the topic of this channel - please stop asking. [23:05] Salve.. [23:05] Hello everyone [23:05] I'm having some problems with my tv card and Ubuntu 11.10, will you help me out? [23:05] Can anyone shed any light on why I can read and create on my NFS share from windows 7 but I can't delete?

[23:06] why stop? [23:06] bobweaver: no [23:06] "GNOME display manager" is "fail" [23:06] can u tell me please! why i can can't hear sound from my laptop speakers ????? [23:06] where are the logs for that? [23:06] curfont: nice monitor [23:06] curfont, bummer! maybe just knock her around a little bit [23:06] ikonia, what does ubuntu use ? THEN [23:06] smartadam12years: because this channel is not here to make you make your own ubuntu build. [23:06] ikonia, sorry about caps :>) [23:06] Gentoo64: It's my wife's "disney" netbook [23:06] guys help me please [23:06] yea yea [23:06] bobweaver: the ubuntu packages it builds, [23:06] lol [23:07] i can't hear the sound from my laptop speakers [23:07] i can make my own channel? [23:07] I take it you don't know, Gentoo64 [23:07] smartadam12years: make your own channel then [23:07] OttifantSir: A quick google showed me this, not sure how outdated/relevant it may still be: http://www.linuxscrew.com/2007/12/09/update-bios-of-dell-laptop-with-ubuntu/ [23:07] ikonia, what is the ubuntu package ? got a link > [23:07] ?* [23:07] antnash: know what?

We can read lowercase too. [23:07] np [23:08] Why Super OS rename Ubuntu and i cant do it? [23:08] ikonia, I am asking if ubuntu uses debian live to make there distro [23:08] OttifantSir, at the dell site theres an exe package for your bios [23:08] ubottu: I think he has Caps lock on. [23:08] Trioke: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:08] sorry [23:08] latest bios for your system is a10 [23:08] please help, I followed this guide and installed OCI8, but it's not enabled after install..how can I reconfigure it?? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PHPOracle [23:08] smartadam12years: You can, you just can't discuss it here [23:08] smartadam12years: why do you care so much about renaming ubuntu and calling it yours [23:08] Trioke: I tried that first, no luck for my system [23:08] well i'm back on 11.04 [23:08] bobweaver: it doesn't use debian live, it makes it's own distro, the packages it uses are based on the debian ones though [23:08] hello there [23:08] OttifantSir, what bios version are you on now? [23:08] !sed | smartadam12years [23:08] smartadam12years: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [23:08] can anyone explain what does this command ? tar -C /overlay -cvf - . | tar -C /mnt/sda1 -xf - [23:09] In ubuntu 11.10, I installed gnome 3. A few days ago I rebooted and it automatically launched in the fallback mode. Even when I select the normal boot option, it is now consistently stuck in fallback. I don't even know what the problem is, so my googling hasn't lead me anywhere yet. How can I even begin to investigate what broke? [23:09] OttifantSir: aww darn. I'm afraid you seem to be in an edge case scenario where most of us won't have the expertise or experience to know how to help. I personally run a dell and updated the BIOS while running Windows... If that's an option, it may be worth a shot. [23:09] what does the terminal have to do with sed bot >? [23:09] whta sorry? [23:09] what? [23:09] DrManhattan: I have that file, and I have made a GRUB option loading an image of a (supposedly) boot disk with that file loaded. My current BIOS is A06. [23:09] Trioke, they recommend on the link he posted to run the exe for bios update via WINE [23:10] gluonman, try opening a terminal and running "gnome-shell --replace" in it to see if you get any error message that might help you identify the problem [23:10] I would not run any bios program in wine [23:10] tar -C /overlay -cvf - . | tar -C /mnt/sda1 -xf - [23:10] that is a terrible idea [23:10] I can rename Super oS and make own OS? [23:10] OttifantSir, well, looks like Dell gives you an exe for updating to a10 - so I'd use wine [23:10] i have a problem with videos on ubuntu 11.10 how can i do? [23:10] glebihan, thanks [23:10] I'm having some problems with my tv card and Ubuntu 11.10 [23:10] how do i set the theme back to the default in 11.10 [23:10] smartadam12years: stop asking - this is your final warning [23:10] !awk [23:10] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [23:10] DrManhattan: Actually, no. They say to use WINE to extract the archive if the BIOS came in a WinPhlash.exe format. Update itself still has to go through the GRUB method. [23:10] !thanks | bobweaver [23:10] bobweaver, please see my private message [23:11] !nounity [23:11] 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 [23:11] and your... [23:11] smartadam12years: pardon ? [23:11] ubottu, learn sed and awk [23:11] bobweaver: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:11] Then extract and attempt to run the updater, which will fail, but place a file named BIOS.ROM in C:\Windows\Temp\WINPHLASH\. Now download the phlash16.exe utility, which will actually perform the flash using BIOS.ROM. [23:11] bobweaver: please stop messing with the bot [23:11] ikonia, :>) [23:11] DrManhattan: Yeah, I knew that was an option, not a very appealing one though, as WINE is not complete, and I don't want to brick my machine with such a perfect setup and sentimental value. But, it seems that is what I have to (try to) do.... [23:11] i know Mark :P [23:12] personally [23:12] OttifantSir: Just curious, what feature are you lacking in your current BIOS that compels you to upgrade? [23:12] smartadam12years: Please leave [23:12] smartadam12years, we don't care [23:12] smartadam12years, then aask him :>) [23:12] OttifantSir, well, you could always use gparted to give yourself a 10g partition, put windows on it, update your bios, then remove windows [23:12] Will you please help me out? [23:12] ikonia: n1 xD [23:12] at least that method is supported and wont brick your box, although it IS a pita [23:13] DrManhattan: Yes, easiest course of action, at this point it would seem. [23:13] I upgrade Ubuntu after it spams me for a month. What do I have to show for it? CERTAINLY NO SHADER SUPPORT. God, why haven't I learned my lessons after the last three Ubuntu """"upgrades"""" [23:13] for fucks sake [23:13] * ldlework fumes. [23:13] ldlework: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:13] Trioke: Honestly, I don't remember anymore. I just want to use this machine as a testbed to see what problems I will encounter when flashing the BIOS of my HTPC. [23:13] OttifantSir: Ah, okay.

[23:13] ! competent_os_progression | soreau [23:13] Anyone have a clue why sshd on ubuntu 10.04LTS would spin at 100% during large file transfers? [23:14] ldlework: take the hint - he's trying to help you [23:14] It slows down my transfers to 5mbytes/sec [23:14] Trioke, as much as it pains me to say in a linux channel of any sort, I'd probably give myself a 10g xp partition to update the bios and maybe just hide it/leave it there just in case there were some kind of firmware / bios updates I couldn't do in linux [23:14] I wonder if I can put ubuntu on the new Tegra 3 based Asus Transformer [23:14] ldlework: What gpu do you have? [23:14] thats just because dell is REALLY picky about that, and they probably wont honor a warranty if you brick your box trying to update your bios in linux [23:14] DrManhattan: Yeah..... Too bad though. Haven't had a single Windows program or media in my apartment for the last five years, and now I have to resign... [23:14] ikonia, so ubuntu uses scripts then ? to make distro ? the reason I ask is this would be a great way to backup . [23:14] how can you use gnome 2.x in 11.10? [23:15] linuxuz3r: not so much [23:15] linuxuz3r: I'm not sure you can, easily [23:15] linuxuz3r, you can't [23:15] ! nounity | linuxuz3r [23:15] linuxuz3r: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default.

See !classic [23:15] linuxuz3r: you might try gnome-shell / gnome-tweak-tool / gnome-panel / gnome-fallback-session for starters [23:15] bobweaver: ubuntu is a distro, the same as redhat/suse/debian/whatever, it's made of packages the same as those [23:15] Here is another problem, the wifi on the eeepc under ubuntu is extremely slow (works fine on windows) [23:15] linuxuz3r: ahem: gnome-session-fallback [23:15] I think the driver is bad [23:15] OttifantSir, you can thank dell for that. it isnt like you have to keep it on there though, and its legal to install for 45 days without violating any kind of licenses [23:15] curfont: What wifi chip? [23:16] ikonia, I know what a distro is what I am asking is if they use scripts then they should be on launchpad which I can not find [23:16] all that trouble [23:16] many distros use live-debian [23:16] soreau: AR9285 [23:16] Atheros [23:16] a lot of companies have win only bios updates now though [23:16] curfont: Should work fine with the ath9k driver then, I'd imagine [23:16] bobweaver: ubuntu does not, it it's own distro [23:16] DrManhattan: Trioke: Thanks for your help though. Too bad my machine is too old to have EVER been shipped with Ubuntu. Going to look for some Windows now..... [23:16] ikonia, do you knpow what live-debian is ? [23:16] soreau: You would think, I am using ath9k but "speeds" are very very slow [23:17] bobweaver: yes [23:17] DrManhattan: Yep... Although Dell did/does sell machines with *nix OS's, so you'd think they'd have BIOS for them too... [23:17] hello I need some help. I have Iphone 4 iso 5.0 and have ubuntu 10.04 on computer. I need to jailbreak the phone. I need some help with this. Anyone? [23:17] soreau: I have seen similar forum posts for some Atheros models (newer ones) [23:17] OttifantSir, just go download a clean win7 iso [23:17] OttifantSir: Np, and best of luck :). [23:17] you don't have to punch in a serial number or anything [23:17] No solution yet though [23:17] ikonia, so what does ubuntu use ? I thought that this is open source where is that code ? [23:17] keri: can't do it on linux [23:17] its legal to have as a trial for 45 or90 days or something [23:17] bobweaver: what do you mean "what does it use" - it uses it's own packages [23:18] how do i view my mounted file systems in 11.10 [23:18] ikonia, you have to build spaufs [23:18] or how ever you spell it [23:18] bobweaver: spaufs ? [23:18] ^^ [23:18] linuxuz3r: open the file manager, Nautilus [23:18] its open [23:18] linuxuz3r: should be on the left [23:18] ikonia: why not? you are suppost to be able to download your music and you can use ubunut but i can't get that to work either. [23:18] but there are no mounted filesystem [23:18] linuxuz3r: maybe there are none, then [23:19] linuxuz3r: if you want more verbose output, open a terminal and run 'mount' [23:19] keri: the applications used to jailbreak it are not designed for linux [23:19] keri: you can use the iphone with ubuntu - you just can't use the jailbreak software [23:19] crap i need it jailbreak so i can get my pic message [23:19] better to consult #iphone or ##ios [23:20] I can't make my tv card to work under Ubuntu 11.10 [23:20] Hello im new to linux... Just installed xubuntu and it seems really nice! [23:20] Hi!

[23:22] * bobweaver thinks that opensource means open thought that ubuntu stood by that and that they have noothing to hide [23:22] bobweaver: no-one is hiding anything. Stop making things up [23:22] bobweaver: ? [23:22] bobweaver: What are you trying to figure out? [23:22] ikonia, what do you mean ? lubuntu is one of the official ubuntu versions [23:22] glebihan: I didn't say it wasn't [23:23] reisio: if you have virtualbox, you can use it to virtualize another SO.

So I would like to know how to reinstall Ubuntu on my current HDD without losing my current data? [23:38] bobweaver: I'd prefer to keep it in-channel. [23:38] Pici, cool that is why I asked [23:39] Pici, I am trying to get this bzr get [23:39] http://people.ubuntu.com/~cjwatson/bzr/cdimage/mainline' [23:40] DEdesigns57: if you created a separate partition for your /home (where you personal date lives) then simply reinstall and set the partitions manually.. *DON'T* tic the format box for the /home partition. Outside of that it gets more problematic. [23:41] bobweaver: this works fine for me: bzr checkout http://people.canonical.com/~cjwatson/bzr/cdimage/mainline/ cdimage [23:41] Pici, \o/ [23:41] hola, if I'm using smbldap-useradd and I forget to use the -a switch to make the account a samba account, how can I mod the account to be samba friendly? [23:42] I Did not do any partition as I didnt understand it at the time I first installed Ubuntu so I found an old HDD from 2007 and installed Ubuntu on that HDD. [23:42] ls -al && cd /bzr/trunk [23:42] opps [23:42] Wrong window [23:43] What would you recommend in this case, considering I am new to all this? [23:43] Is there anyone here who is good with "conky" i need some help with it on Ubuntu 10.4 please [23:44] DEdesigns57: how much data do you have? and do you have an external usb drive you can copy it too? [23:45] Pici, this is so so so frekin cO_ol [23:45] thank you so much [23:45] anyone here who can help with conky lol ? [23:45] When you say data do you mean HDD space being taken up? [23:46] DEdesigns57: no .. you said you wanted to reinstall without loosing everything.. I assumed you ment data.. docs, spreadsheets, music etc. [23:47] THIS IS A HORROR STORY. I call it permissions gone wrong. I hated that Guest account. It allowd anyone to peek into and change my computer. I thought I had the remedy. I did find ./etc -exec chmod o-rw {} \; [23:47] I WAS WRONG everything stopped working. [23:47] hi everyone... Bit of a daft question but where do I get to the gnome system panel in Unity? Skype is running in the background but i cant seem to access it as its not on the dock launcher nor on the notification area [23:47] Hello! How can I make my "apple-cmd-key" to get the same function as the "ctrl-key"? [23:48] ZeitFight, what is wrong with freeBSD? [23:48] how do I return to Gnome? [23:49] Lol [23:49] jpmh: gnome 2 or 3? [23:49] ZeitFight, I mean Linux on a mac is queer! [23:49] no one here is good at conky on ubuntu ?? xD [23:49] yes that is what I mean. Honestry If I have to lose this data it would not be the end of the world since I have most of my things in windows, but Applications I guess applications like xchat, and my applications would have to be reinstalled huh? Or can I keep them somehow? [23:49] !conduct | Younder [23:49] Younder: The Ubuntu Code of Conduct is a community etiquette document to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere, and can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/ | For information on how to electronically sign the CoC, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SigningCodeofConduct [23:49] ZeitFight mac itself is queer, linux makes it bareable atleast lol [23:49] Scunizi: whatever I had till I :upgraded" [23:49] "Younder" even xD [23:50] bobweaver, It is a valid question. [23:50] DEdesigns57: they're easy enough to reinstall.. === don is now known as Guest47489 [23:50] I'm trying to install a package that requires gcc (or cc or cl) and can't seem to get KPackageKit to install it. It's saying check my network connection. [23:50] s/queer/stange( [23:50] Younder, the word "queer" did not have to be used that is a slam on the gay community === SJrX is now known as SJr [23:51] true mabey a fresh boot is what I need. So then should I burn another iso image from Ubuntu.com and reinstall as If I never had Ubuntu? [23:51] jpmh: that would be gnome 2 most likely.. it's gone and even gnome has moved to gnome 3 which is quite different from gnome 2.. however if you want to try it you can load it up from the software center then log out.. change desktop selection and log in.. you'll be just as lost I think.. but worth comparing. [23:51] sed -i s/queer/stange/g' *.please :>) [23:51] bobweaver: queer == strange queer != gay [23:51] DEdesigns57: yep.. [23:52] Deltatash: Yea maybe it is. I've had too many problems running linux on it. I have to live with it. Now is there a way to remap the cmd key to get the same function as the control key? [23:52] DEdesigns57: make a separate /home partition this time.. it will also hold your config files for the programs you install. [23:52] bobweaver, ok, wrong word sorry.. I was just perplexed that he would install ubuntu on on a machine that already has a form of Unix that the unity interface tries (wrongly in my mind) to emulate [23:53] ZeitFight, im not sure ive not ever needed or tried to remap keys :s [23:53] I never done that before, is it hard>? === M4rc3l is now known as zz_M4rc3l === bryan is now known as Guest89711 [23:54] ZeitFight: I knew how to do it on the old ubuntu with the old interface where it diddnt used to hide the settings from you, on the new version .... no Idea [23:54] Does anyone know why my attempt to install gcc from KPackageKit would give me an error saying to check my network connection? [23:55] welandB: possibly because your network connection is unstable [23:55] dasy2k1: Alright I guess I have to keep on looking then. Thanks for the answer [23:55] reisio: I've installed other packages tonight. I don't think it's unstable. === Guest89711 is now known as SonneKonig [23:56] DEdesigns57: is what hard? Installing? no.. burning an iso.. no not with the right program..ubuntu.com has suggestions for that. [23:56] Hi all! [23:57] what does the "&" at the end of a command do? [23:57] for example: when i enter "ushare -x &" [23:57] ZeitFight: it used to be in the keyboard settings under System --> Administration slightly deeper under keyboard map (with options like using right alt as compose etc) but the new keyboard manager in settings dosent have any of those options [23:57] ok, I have a weird issue here.... [23:57] Nfisher: put it in the background [23:57] Nfisher: runs the command in the background [23:57] Nfisher, `it makes it so things can still run [23:57] Nfisher: to pull it back in the foreground type "fg" [23:57] everytime i log into my laptop with 11.10 it says you are now disconnected form the network ont he bottom of the screen [23:58] even now... and i am obviously online lol [23:58] Nfisher Runs in the background. It shows you the process ID immediately after you hit enter. [23:58] Okay one last thing, I know that Ubuntu is no longer a simple OS to run on older machines. As mention before the only old thing about my machine would be my HDD that Ubuntu will be store on. I have noticed ubuntu running slower than windows. I know my other specs are fine but can HDD be the cause of such an issue in general? [23:58] SonneKonig: it auto reconnects [23:58] Nfisher: and to make it so it keeps running even if you close the terminal window you need to type disown [23:58] oh i see.. so when i close the terminal it still runs? [23:58] SonneKonig: but the msg doesnt auto disappears. thats why [23:58] DEdesigns57: have a look at lubuntu [23:58] DEdesigns57: that happened to me when my drive started to fail.. [23:58] Nfisher: only if you disown it [23:59] dasy2k1, iceroot bobweaver iceroot Thanks!!! [23:59] thanks [23:59] they should fix that lol [23:59] dasy2k1, how do i disown it? [23:59] DEdesigns57: to see if the hdd is the bottleneck, use top and see the "%wa" value, which means "waiting for io" [23:59] Nfisher: otherwise you just get back to the command prompt which is usefull if you are wanting to do somthing else and cant be bothered to open a new terminal or use somthing like screen [23:59] iceroot: that's a good tip.. thanks.
