[00:00] any unity experts out there know where i can find the gnome system tray ? [00:00] Nfisher: if you close the terminal, the program will not run anymore, even with & [00:01] iceroot: but if you follow the command with the disown command it will [00:01] dasy2k1: yes [00:01] how the hell do i get shotwell to not open when I plug my phone in. most infuriating "feature" I've ever seen [00:01] dasy2k1: Nfisher or using "screen" [00:01] iceroot, uhm.. it does Oo.. i issued "ushare -x &" and closed the gnome-terminal i issued it in.. and still runs.. [00:01] Nfisher: because "ushare" is handling that [00:02] iceroot, k.. [00:02] magn3ts: try settings then removable media and turn open shotwell off [00:02] Nfisher: but normal apps will close [00:02] dasy2k1: I think I found something in the Mac-keyboard-layout. Thanks! :) [00:02] iceroot, i see.. [00:03] dasy2k1, "Photos: Do Nothing" [00:03] dasy2k1, :/ [00:03] * dasy2k1 shrugs [00:03] iceroot, how do i run commands to not close after closing gnome-terminal-window then? [00:03] dasy2k1, haha, thanks anyway [00:04] Nfisher: run the command with an & then type disown [00:04] or just hit alt+f2 and run it from there [00:04] dasy2k1, k, thx!! [00:04] thx all! [00:05] i prefer screen instead of & and disown === sabayonuser is now known as logicallkill [00:05] I take it you detach your screen iceroot [00:06] anyone else noticed that in the software center, the history has an entry for october 12th that looks like every default package being installed? [00:06] or use the nohup command [00:06] i suppose thats better for simpler apps that cant seem to survive on their own , like xeyes [00:06] dasy2k1: no, just using screen then starting foobar and "ctrl + a + c" [00:07] cyphase: let me guess... you installed or upgraded to 10.10 on october 12th? [00:07] dasy2k1: but thats because normally i am running everything in screen, to often i forgot screen and closing the terminal was not a good idea :) [00:07] dasy2k1, 11.10*. no, just today [00:09] dasy2k1, 11.10 was released october 13th [00:10] that would probbably explain it, on the system that the official iso was built from everything probbably was installed on oct 12th [00:10] i have a browsing problem, obviously i can connect via wireless or i wouldnt be here, and any program i run that uses an internet connection will run fine, except for firefox of course. i get the standard "cant connect" error. [00:11] And a bautius release it was. Least probems yet.. Cudos to the boys who made the upgrade to gnome 3 so painless.. I KNOW that was difficult.. [00:11] Is there a way to see what files are being accessed in realtime? [00:12] quidnunc: lsof [00:13] You can buy apps for Ubuntu 11.10 now, cool. [00:13] yes isn't it cool [00:13] I can't wait until it costs $150 [00:14] Developers deserve it [00:14] I like $1 apps [00:14] which app? [00:14] quidnunc: iotop [00:14] reisio: Do you have the flags that would perform realtime file I/O monitoring? [00:14] just saying [00:14] heh [00:14] quidnunc: or maybe "inotify" [00:14] I thhink is cool that you can. [00:14] qcode, I agree [00:15] I paid apps for Android phone, why not on Ubuntu. [00:15] before a flamewar starts. let's stop. There are people here with legitimate problems [00:16] qcode: because they're all free already? [00:16] qcode, not all of us have money :>) [00:16] quidnunc: if it is still free software (as in free speech) there is no problem for paying money for software [00:16] iceroot: Sorry? [00:16] iceroot: y'know, except that you could get it for free... [00:17] logicallkill: does chrome connect? [00:17] !free [00:17] freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [00:17] that is what "free" means === Kane is now known as Guest7688 [00:18] How do I mount an SD card? [00:18] Guest7688: insert it [00:18] Guest7688: sudo mount /dev/sdX1 /where/to/mount [00:18] Guest7688: it typically auto mounts.. if not in a terminal you could try sudo mount -a [00:18] Guest7688: and if using a gui on the system that step is done automaticly [00:18] It does not auto mount. Otherwise I would not be asking. [00:18] i've got an old laptop runnig 9.10 is there an wasy way upgrading to latest version? [00:19] !eol [00:19] 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 [00:19] ruser: last link [00:19] I need help with the dash... Please!!! [00:19] ruser: but you have to go 9.10 - 10.04 - 10.10 - 11.04 - 11.10 [00:19] CyborgSmurf: what exactly? [00:19] iceroot: thanks, will do. i guess lots of packaged to DL :) [00:19] anytime i open firefox it gives me the server cannot be found page. its not a connection problem... [00:20] ruser: and making a backup first is always a good idea [00:20] ruser, well given enough download speed the easiest way is to upgrade and then upgrade again. not missing any bug updates [00:20] iceroot: the buttons after Ive pressed the dash, you know the small buttons above, they just arent there [00:20] iceroot: looks like only up to 9.10 is outline in last link [00:20] Ok.. just reinstalled again.. on initial reboot screen is stuck at "Checking Battery state..." - this is a desktop.. any hints tips direction to go? [00:21] CyborgSmurf: ah ok, something in unity is called dash, is though you mean the login shell [00:21] is anyone having issues today with firefox? [00:21] !anyone | D_Russ [00:21] D_Russ: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [00:21] D_russ: yeah, i am. [00:21] Can someone please tell me how to prevent Ubuntu-Restricted-Extras from installing its version of Flash? (I already have a version installed that I want to maintain). Thank you. [00:22] logicalkill: whats your issue? [00:22] iceroot: everyone seems to have them except me [00:22] CyborgSmurf: sorry cant help you i am not using unity and dont know what dash is [00:22] D_russ: anytime i try to visit a page it gives me the server not found page. its not a connection issue... [00:22] iceroot: thanks anyway [00:23] anyone else having the same problem with the dash or know the solution for it??? [00:23] logicalkill: mine is different, when i open FF it does not show on my unity taskbar. [00:23] Hey guys I have ubuntu installed on a server with raid 5 I want to clone it on to a usb drive and restore it to 1 WD VR. Issue Im having is the raid 5 is firmware raid from the motherboard. Any tools I can use to clone the drive? [00:24] spartan7: dd will do it for sure.. but I don't know the command [00:24] i just said eff it and switched to chrome [00:24] Scunizi: sudo dd if=/dev/sdX of=/path/for/the/image [00:24] spartan7: see above [00:24] hrm when i'm doing dist-upgrade it claims some packets can not be authenticated [00:25] D_russ: odd... im not sure. saorry. [00:25] Does anyone elses EOG refuse to open? [00:25] nvm, figured it out [00:25] i just wish i could get chrome to automatically open xchat when i click on an irc link. Does anyone know how to do that. [00:25] I just get more and more impressed every day. strace has it stopping in the middle of a futex. [00:25] logicalkill: have you checked to see if your proxy settings may have been enabled [00:26] spartan7: also clonezilla can handle it if you are not familiar with dd [00:26] D_Russ: yeah, i disabled all proxies. [00:26] Can someone please tell me how to prevent Ubuntu-Restricted-Extras from installing its version of Flash? (I already have a version installed that I want to maintain). Thank you. [00:26] I tried clonzilla and it sees it as 4 seperate drives RAID5 [00:27] I've eliminated "quiet splash" from the kernel line on boot to see what's happening.. no indication why the system won't boot.. gets to "Running /scripts/init-bottom ... done" and sits there stupid.. How do I fix this? [00:27] logicalkill: have you tried to uninstall or see if there is an update for it maybe? [00:27] ayudaaaaaaaaaa [00:27] iceroot: the problem with clonzilla is that it doesn not support fakeraid === Jasonn is now known as me === me is now known as Jasonn [00:27] preciso de ajuda [00:27] spartan7: fakeraid is ALWAYS bad [00:27] thats why Im here [00:27] iceroot: how so? [00:27] alquien me puede ayuda [00:28] hi [00:28] ruser: there is nothing a software-raid cant do better [00:28] what do i need to apt-get install for isolinux? [00:28] instalei o ubuntu 11.10 e agora não funciona o leitor de cd [00:28] ruser: and fakeraid is just a software-raid, no better performance, only working with your board/controller [00:28] D_Russ: yeah i just updated too. ill just use chrome/opera. [00:28] I'm trying to install the latest nvidia driver for my card, but it fails because an nvidia module is in use by the kernel even after stopping X. If I do sudo apt-get purge nvidia-*, it wants to remove ubuntu-desktop. If I do this, reinstall ubuntu-desktop and install the nvidia driver before restarting, will that cause problems? [00:28] spartan7: but clonezilla should see /dev/mapper/foobar which should be your raid-array [00:29] Hello guys, is there any way to change the wallpaper for the login screen?? [00:29] ruser: real software-raid should always be the better idea instead of fakeraid [00:29] hi [00:29] is there a way to resize the launcher [00:29] iceroot: cool, thanks [00:30] iceroot: is that under advanced settings? I dont know the command to check for a raid array. I ran clonzilla never saw it as a raid array. [00:30] Is there a easy way to restore permissions to of all files in a directory tree to that they used to be. say using the dpkm system [00:30] ? [00:30] Younder: using the Ubuntu installer [00:30] iceroot: I thought fakeraid was software raid? [00:31] iceroot: so fakeraid and firmware raid are not one and the same? [00:31] spartan7: it is but forced with your controller [00:31] spartan7: firmware-raid is not an official name [00:31] Younder: if you know what the permissions were.. then sudo chown -R .. would do it.. [00:31] reisio, if it had been that easy [00:32] iceroot: I know but it should be. What would be the command for clonzilla to recognize the raid array? [00:32] spartan7, see md for Linux software RAID [00:32] spartan7, works rather well for me so far [00:32] spartan7: fakeraid (cheap onboard-raid-controller on desktop-pc) is using software-raid but the raid is only workiing with your specific hardware, its using the cpu like software-raid [00:32] Scunizi: heh [00:32] is there a way to reset the user/pass on a fresh install? === friskd_ is now known as friskd [00:32] spartan7: there is "hardware-raid", "software-raid" and "fakeraid" [00:33] Younder: sorry.. not chown but chmod [00:33] mosno: I did. I know intel matrix supports it on kernal 2.6.26 right? can you clone from something like clonezilla? [00:33] reisio: you made me re-read my post.. oops. [00:33] spartan7: never used clonezilla, sorry [00:33] spartan7, i have cloned an nForce RAID1 fakeraid with Clonezilla, IIRC -- not that i tested the restore [00:34] spartan7: but i dont think, cloning the raid-array from fakeraid will work on later systems === XXIstC is now known as benct [00:34] iceroot: your right from what I read online. [00:34] why is ubunto so different from 10.10? [00:34] Nice to know when the gui fails the cmd line still works. [00:34] shawn186: its not [00:34] theres no menus [00:34] iceroot: so you would recommend either hardware raid or md? [00:35] only wahts open [00:35] status bar [00:35] spartan7: yes [00:35] spartan7: hardware-raid is the best (but costs the most) [00:35] what's the command to restart the gui.. sudo service (not gdm anymore I think).. or is it sudo /etc/init.d/ === hashashin is now known as Guest6164 [00:36] spartan7: on hw-raid your system only see you raid-array, on sw-raid and fakeraid you system see the raid-array and also each drive, on hw-raid there is only one drive (which is the raid-array) [00:36] iceroot, mosno: thanks guys. before I go. Does Haveing a raid provide performance boost? [00:36] In ubuntu 11.10, I'm trying to reinstall my nvidia graphics card driver. I hit Ctrl+Alt+F1, log in, do sudo service lightdm stop to kill X, and then sudo sh *.run. It complains that an nvidia module is still in use by the kernel. Can I do sudo apt-get purge nvidia-*, even though it removes ubuntu-desktop, to solve this problem? [00:36] spartan7: but a hw-raid-controller is starting at 150€ [00:36] spartan7: depending which raid you are using, yes [00:36] where can I get nvidia video drivers for ubuntu? [00:36] 7600GS [00:36] iceroot: gonna see if there is an afflrdable HW raid card. [00:36] shawn186: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [00:36] hrm. the documantioatn links to page that does not exist https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades/Karmic [00:36] ah ty [00:36] spartan7: but remeber, raid is NOT a backup-replacement [00:37] iceroot: thats expensive. gonna try md [00:37] Scunizi, sudo service lightdm stop/start [00:37] spartan7: most people thing raid has something to do with a backup which is not true [00:37] shawn186: hit the "windows" button and in the search box type hardware.. what shows should be something like hardware drivers.. click and wait for a selection. [00:37] iceroot: yea gonna use rsync to another location for backup [00:37] spartan7: the nes for 150€ are cheap with not so mayn features, the good ones starting at 300€ [00:37] robin0800: thanks.. I was beginning to think nobody was around :) [00:37] spartan7: s/nes/ones [00:37] hello i have a 9.10 installation i need to dist-upgrade whats the safest way? [00:38] never done an upgrade this far back [00:38] !eol | Scott0 [00:38] Scott0: 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 [00:38] Scott0: last link [00:38] so im screwed as far as that goes [00:38] Scott0: also having a backup is a good idea [00:38] hey guys… is there any other way to get the IP that TOR gave me other than using CURL like this:? http://pastie.org/2801986 [00:38] iceroot: thanks for the info. [00:38] its not important so im not worried [00:38] Scott0: ok, then just follow that link [00:38] ooh, will after updates finish [00:39] robin0800: I'm beginning to think that my pc has a polterguist.. fresh install and gui won't start. live cd works fine. nvidia card installed on mthr board. etc.. [00:40] luist: tnx.nl/ip [00:40] hey guys, I want to dual boot two linux OS. I have one installed now. I understand that I can partion the HD during installation of second os. I'm just wondering if I will have any grub problems. Any suggestions/comments? [00:40] nixnine: if you do they will be easily fixed [00:41] nixnine: from either OS [00:41] nixnine: second install will take over grub or install what it uses.. might try virtual box as an alternative.. run both at the same time :) [00:41] Scott0: i'm doing the same thing here. [00:41] sup all === ubuntu is now known as digitaldrowning [00:41] sup all [00:41] nice [00:41] ruser: good luck [00:41] ruser: wanna race? [00:41] :P [00:42] Scott0: lol, internet is slow [00:42] Scott0: so, nah :) [00:42] Scunizi, tried nomodeset at the grub start up [00:42] its ok, im on a 600Mhz 256 RAM [00:42] Not too keen on using VM. So if i set up for dual boot, there might be a prob using the initial system? [00:43] i luv vm i am running ubuntu in windows 7 right now [00:43] actually on oracle virtualbox [00:43] nixnine: no, there's a chance you might have to run an extra step merely to boot the initial system [00:43] and i only have 1 gb ram [00:44] robin0800: I asked about that command earlier with no respone.. I couldn't remember it.. I did try pci=nomsi which has worked for the last several years on this motherboard.. I'll give it a go and see. [00:44] nixnine: if you have any problems just boot into whichever OS you can and come back here, we'll sort it all out [00:44] hi folks.. after upgrade to 11.10 i got this errors when I try to install any package http://pastebin.com/VBSXC0qf ... I assume it's a problem with python2.7 is that correct? how can I fix it? [00:44] 11.10 is weird [00:44] its all bulging [00:44] Cool. But is there a chance that I might lose everything/anything in the initial OS? [00:45] nixnine u trying to dual boot windows and ubuntu? [00:45] shawn186: bulging? [00:45] no. mint and ubuntu, mint the primary OS [00:45] when in doubt... backup [00:45] hmm never heard of mint [00:46] ????? [00:46] robin0800: lightdm fails on start with that too.. I also eliminated quiet splash to see what was happening.. [00:46] No? [00:46] nixnine: it's nice to have a backup to be safe. but i don't think so, maybe the grub config or w/e bootloader you are going to use [00:46] i dont really see the point in dualbootint mint and ubuntu ;-) [00:47] nixnine: i'm not familiar with mint, just heard of it [00:47] yea, icons are ovesized [00:47] dr_willis: people have their reasons [00:47] I want to install ubuntu 11.10 with gnome shell [00:47] hey! :D [00:47] robin0800: is the pae kernel for those with more than 3 gigs of ram? and would that possibly be part of the problem? [00:47] people often do silly things [00:47] why is it telling me to install the update manager? [00:47] nixnine you pretty wouln't have any problems with the grub [00:47] im on a cli version of ubuntu [00:47] Mint is actually based on Ubuntu :P [00:47] yes [00:48] Scott0: pae leads to occasinal problems [00:48] pae? [00:48] I just love that gnome shell [00:48] Scunizi: pae leads to occasinal problems [00:48] Scott0: wrong person, sorry [00:48] the version im updating is pae [00:48] been running from live usb and i really like it [00:48] Okay. I'm stuck. Gnome is refusing to boot into windows 7 even though it can CLEARLY see it there. I've tried reinstalling grub, but it doesn't even look like boot repair did anything. [00:48] ruser: thanks.. I might need to burn a 64 bit live cd and try again.. :( [00:49] Scunizi, don't know [00:49] hello, I am using 11.11 and dual monitor with nvidia graphics card... when I open a movie using movie player, suddenly I am confined to just one monitor (the laptop screen in this case), I can still see the other monitor however I cannot move the mouse there and the only way to resolve it is to disable the 2nd screen in nvidia-settings and renable [00:49] Scunizi: what is the problem are you having? [00:49] robin0800: ok.. thanks. [00:49] ruser: lightdm fails on boot [00:49] any suggestions? [00:49] ruser: after a fresh install on a desktop [00:49] Scunizi: what's in the log? [00:49] ruser: in /var/log? which file? [00:50] is there a command i can run from terminal to check filesystem integrity on a backup drive upon next reboot ? [00:50] Scunizi: the X11 log should contain EE error lines that can point you in right direction [00:51] Scunizi: or Xfree, w/e server you are using [00:51] what is responsible that ~/Desktop is called ~/Arbeitsfläche and ~/public is ~/Öffentlich on my system? cant find anything in /etc/skel/ (using lubuntu 11.10) [00:51] even on bash [00:51] Scunizi: sorry, i meanat Xorg :) [00:52] I need to make some slides for a presentation. What's a good linux app for such things? [00:52] iceroot: i recall some startup tool that changes names based on locale [00:52] Scunizi: there is also gdm log in there [00:52] dr_willis: for me this is the biggest bug ever.... [00:52] Scunizi: you can also try running gdm start and see what comes up [00:52] ruser: looks like in the lightdm directory there's two files.. lightdm.log which points to x-0.log.. I'll look there. there's no X11 log.. brb.. looking [00:52] i put my cursor in the upper left corner of the screen, theres no menus D: [00:52] dr_willis: making scripting very hard [00:53] where did it go [00:53] or they [00:53] Scunizi: check xorg log [00:53] Hello, how do I see which video driver Xorg is using? I have a laptop with Nvidia Optimus; I have both an Intel and an nVidia graphics card. I want to be able to select which to use. [00:53] iceroot: i always yse english. so never notice. i do recall disableing the startup item in the past [00:54] Scunizi: also you can try running startx and see what comes up :) [00:54] dr_willis: you know something like a wrapper for scripting instead of chaning the locale-settings in a script? [00:54] i click on this ubuntu symbol, and there are 2 inch big icons [00:54] bigger than my finger [00:54] Is there a better music player than banshee? it locks up on me sometimes, and my PC is not slouch on power and resources [00:54] shawn186: why dont' you configure how it looks like [00:54] is their a way to change it:? [00:54] i'm still a noob [00:54] D_Russ: Songbird, but I think they dropped Linux support :/ [00:54] dr_willis: using a different language is good for finding translation-bugs and missing translations :) [00:54] stuck on windows === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [00:55] !media [00:55] shawn186: i'm pretty sure there is, i havne't used X in a while mostly hang around console, but there is appearance and theme configuration [00:55] Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).

[00:57] ruser: could it be because I have 2 monitors plugged in.. ?? if I eliminate one maybe it will start.. As I remember that has been an issue since 6.06.. errg.. memory failing me. [00:57] I Russia user,I love Linux,Linux forever [00:57] Scunizi: try disabling glx [00:57] reisio: problem is: im getting curl: (52) Empty reply from server as response sometimes when i access these IP sites with curl.. dont know why [00:58] ruser: in /etc/X11/xorg.conf? [00:58] Does anyone know the Debian Import Freeze date for Pangolin? [00:58] Scunizi: yeah. aslo read up on nvidia and x. As i said i havne't used setup with X11 in a while. sorry i'm super rusty :) [00:58] can i make upgrade skip a package? [00:59] Scott0: probably with pinning but i wouldn't recommend it [00:59] its zoneminder [00:59] i dont need to deal with that atm [00:59] Scott0: no idea what is zoneminder [01:00] security camera server [01:00] Scott0: you can disable install of suggested packages [01:00] how? [01:00] hey rchavik [01:00] Hello, how do I see which video driver Xorg is using? I have a laptop with Nvidia Optimus; I have both an Intel and an nVidia graphics card. I want to be able to select which to use.

[01:02] ActionParsnip, 8GB [01:02] templet: yikes, ok we can make your network a lot faster [01:02] Dark_Apostrophe: sudo lsmod [01:03] ActionParsnip, is that a joke ? i'm simply aware that there were such speed tweaks to earlier versions of ubuntu [01:03] ActionParsnip: It shows both nVidia and Intel [01:03] ruser: apparently thats not an option in apt [01:03] templet: no you can male the OS use RAM to make the LAN faster [01:03] ruser: nvidia 11713772 0 [01:03] templet: run: gksudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf and add thses lines: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/sysctl [01:03] ActionParsnip, i've never heard of that. would love to know about it [01:03] templet: i don't believe, there were some mtu tweaks for windows but i'm not aware of that in ubuntu, but default it [01:04] templet: i don't believe, there were some mtu tweaks for windows but i'm not aware of that in ubuntu, but default it's already "tweaked" [01:04] Not sure what the Intel module is called [01:04] ActionParsnip, thank you so much [01:04] templet: save the new file and close gedit, then run: sudo sysctl -p [01:04] Dark_Apostrophe: that means probably that your intel card is used :) [01:04] templet: I have 2Gb here and use the same [01:04] Dark_Apostrophe: try glxinfo as well. maybe will tell you the driver [01:05] Scott0: which ubuntu version again? [01:05] Scott0: that options hsould be there since 8.x [01:05] templet: using dnsmasq as a local dns cache on your system can also make internet faster as you are not querying the internet for every resolution if the service has already learned the IP [01:05] nm i had to give it another command [01:05] unity looks like its for tablets [01:05] :P [01:05] Scott0: 8.10 rather [01:05] shawn186: i h8 unity [01:05] ruser: its 9.10 [01:05] shawn186: can use it on either really [01:05] ruser: Hmm...Ok. See, my real problem is that the fan is constantly running and spewing out heat without any real CPU usage being shown in the system monitor. My theory was that the Nvidia card was being used for no good reason, and that it was the reason for the fan and heat... seems like that isn't the case. [01:05] ruser: when installing the headers, its tryign to upgrade zoneminder [01:06] ActionParsnip: let's not forget squid :) or any other caching proxy :) [01:06] even with that flag set [01:06] What might be, though? I have Windows on a separate partition, and the fan is nowhere near as active on it [01:06] ruser: same deal, makes name resolution take 0ms rather than 30ms [01:06] how do I close unity, and have the original and sweet desktop? [01:06] ruser: I've noticed speed increases by moving the browser cache to tempfs too [01:06] ruser: Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0".

See !classic [01:12] ruser: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/A2TCLlCzDoUhHPvLY7Ml/ [01:12] so they renamed classic to something else? [01:12] Dark_Apostrophe: what's your non-nvidia card again? [01:12] epic mistake moving away from gnome [01:13] Dark_Apostrophe: intel 915? [01:13] seems like trying to lure apple users with unity [01:13] its silly [01:13] ruser: I'm not sure which model, exactly - hold on, I'll google for the laptop model [01:13] Scott0: which verison comes with unity? i'll know to avoid :) [01:13] ruser: ? [01:13] Dark_Apostrophe: you can also lspci -V [01:13] Scott0, you get the golden star for being the millionth person to say that. :D [01:13] hey guys. little prob: I have two xservers running on on the same machine(due to a optimus setup) but for an unknown reason I can only type into the main one, how would I switch to the other one ? [01:13] Scott0: unity runs on gnome [01:14] well the interace is fail [01:14] i guess i want metacity? [01:14] Scott0: then use a different DE, or install the fallback [01:14] Scott0: i'm upgrading my laptop from 9.10 to latest. in steps ofcourse. so i just need to know how to avoid unity and in which ubuntu verison it comes [01:14] which one is the Ubuntu classic equivalent? [01:14] ruser, starts in natty, but you have the classic gnome there. [01:14] as well [01:14] ruser: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/p8XTDiuzEoFh5AZ7aXaq/ [01:14] urlin2u: thanks [01:15] ActionParsnip: how am i going to suffer by using fallback? [01:15] any caveats? [01:15] Who knows alot about wireless laptop usage...specifically the 4315 chipset...there are so many 3 and 4 year old how to's that I'm not sure what applies to me now lol :| [01:15] Dark_Apostrophe: looks like some sort of asus card [01:15] whatsaHacker: just ask your question [01:15] Scott0: not really, you can manually a startup item to run compiz --replace just untick the unity plugin [01:16] Scott0, ruser unity cab ve tweaked though with compiz and other tools it is not bad imo, but some have a problem adapting. [01:16] ruser: It doesn't work. How do I? :) [01:16] urlin2u: if im the millionth, then why do they persist with pushing unity on people? [01:16] s/can be* [01:16] i dont want to use compiz, its a complete waste of resources [01:16] ruser: Hmm... Whenever I search for specifications, it's listed as "Intel HD Graphics", not the specific model number :/ === emma is now known as Em [01:17] Scott0: then use the fallback and you'll use metacity [01:17] ActionParsnip: thats equivalent to classic? [01:17] Scott0, sorry I left out the sarcasm clause, as to the validity of that claim, kinda silly don't you think, all OS's resemble each other in some way. [01:17] whatsaHacker: no idea, don't use that chipset, try using network manager [01:17] urlin2u: in some way? you mean that we use them? [01:17] lol [01:17] urlin2u: it was silly to default to the most resource intensive overly simplistic DE [01:18] urlin2u: hwo do i avoid unity all together in process of upgrading from 9.10 to latest? [01:18] ruser: by using either one of Kubuntu, Xubuntu or Lubuntu [01:18] Scott0, unity os part of making ubuntu.com or canonical able to provide for more platforms. [01:18] is* [01:18] ruser: Found it, Intel GMA 4500MHD [01:19] urlin2: you might also want to to look at the mint project, incredibly ubuntu but offer a few alternativeslinux mint [01:19] szal: that's not really the answer. i already have kde and gnome on the same machine. i'm upgrading the current distro, what you are telling me i need to reinstall with w/e latest netinstall [01:20] szal: what's Xubuntu and Lubuntu? [01:20] ruser, unity does not appear till natty, and you have a classic desktop available in natty, a classic that is a little different maverick is the last gnome 2 really. [01:20] ruser: distros designed for hardware that maybe a little older/slower... than what the standard Ubuntu distro is capable of supporting [01:20] ruser: Xubuntu -> XFCE4, Lubuntu -> LXDE [01:20] if you just upgrade(not reinstall) you will still have gnome [01:21] szal: oh, never heard of lxde. What package list does it have? [01:21] anyone know how to handle several xservers on one machine ? [01:21] szal: nvm i'll figure it out. [01:21] ImDoT: for what purpose [01:21] hi, I have a little problem installing ubuntu, who I have to ask? [01:21] KM0201: you know the real difference is the default "suggusted" package lists. for people who don't want to pick packages manually [01:22] correct me if I'm wrong, but afaik Lubuntu is officially supported now (from Oneiric on) [01:22] it is [01:22] a multiple screen screen setup running on a sandy bridge laptop. I can start the nvidia server but not type in it [01:22] szal: still, though, which version is natty? 10.x? still not clear on how to avoid unity when upgrading. [01:22] ruser: well, there's also GUI differences.. but... yes, of course there's suggested package differences also. [01:22] !natty | ruser [01:22] oh thanks [01:22] ruser: Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) was the fourteenth release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1104 [01:22] KM0201: GUI difference comes via different packages [01:23] szal: thnx [01:23] ruser: if you know so much, why did you ask what Xubuntu and Lubuntu are? [01:23] lord_enzo, whats the problem? [01:23] 's* [01:23] hi urlin2u! [01:23] KM0201: because it's the same concept as Kubuntu and ubuntu with gnome [01:23] ruser: i gave you a basic rundown of what they were designed for, i didn't intend to go nto great detail about them. [01:23] ruser: no its not. [01:23] KM0201: okay, than i stand corrected. how are htey not? [01:24] lord_enzo, hello, give us a little info on your problem. [01:24] well, the lamp server setup was very, very easy [01:24] gotta give props for that [01:24] ruser: i'm not gonna bother carrying this conversation on w/ you further, cuz i can tell its pointless.. i'd just suggest you do some googling [01:24] I wonder why rhel/scientific doesn't have that option [01:24] classic restored [01:24] KM0201: ok, i'm going to say you are wrong, i'm not going to explain why, i will suggest some googling, thanks for nothing :) [01:24] ruser: So, do you have any suggestions for what I can do? This fan noise is getting annoying... just installed lm-sensors, it only shows a single sensor (at 87*C) [01:24] ruser: you're welcome [01:25] well, I'm a newbie with linux, it's the first time I'm installing it anywhere, so I'm pretty confused… I installed a copy of 11.10 64 bits in a computer I have laying around. When I connect the Live USB or the CD it all starts Ok, it ask me what I want to do, either install, try, etc… [01:25] Dark_Apostrophe: check your proc filesystem for other sesors data [01:25] shawn186: that easy? [01:25] If I choose straight away to try, or install, the system just freezes after the ubuntu logo, either on black or in a purple background [01:25] but, if in the menu that is asking me what I want to do I press f6 and check ACPI=OFF [01:25] !nomodeset | lord_enzo [01:25] lord_enzo: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [01:26] ruser: Not sure which of the "files" might contain sensor readouts [01:26] the live cd starts ok, but after the installation, none [01:26] lord_enzo, take a look at getting nomodeset in the start to boot in low graphics. [01:26] besides the administration menu.. === Resistance is now known as EvilResistance [01:27] I'll try that right now, thanks [01:27] Dark_Apostrophe: /proc/acpi/ check in tehre problbly in thermal zone [01:28] lord_enzo, y9ou can put nomodeset in the kernel at the grub menu, to get the grub menu if your not seeing it tap the shift key I believe at powering on hit e the intsert nomodeset at the splash notation in the kernel, use the arrow keys to navigate there.

[01:29] lord_enzo, sorry for this misspelling ask any questions if needed. :D [01:29] Dark_Apostrophe: is there fan folder? man i'm sorry super rusty here. but you should be able to control the fan. is it always running and is hot, or just always on and isn't hot [01:29] ruser: ok... like i said, i'm not gonna spend my day discussing this with you, when you already know everything.... but your google-foo obviously sucks [01:30] Scott0: pretty much, yeah [01:30] well… I'm editing the booting options (with the E in the GRUB menu… ) where do I have to put the nomodeset? [01:30] KM0201: please correct me, where i'm wrong, by all means. or atleast link me [01:32] KM0201: are packages built with different options in them? and thus [01:32] KM0201: are packages built with different options in them? and thus "optimized"? [01:32] I found it! [01:33] ruser: couldnt get past the whole zonemdiner thing during the headers install, so i just started a regular upgrade [01:33] hi. trying ubuntu on a new macboook air; when booting from usb, I get "boot error" message. Any hints? [01:33] zmiq: how'd you image to USB? [01:33] lord_enzo, you will see no splash or ro splash in that area, it will get you in with low graphics hopefully then when in run the update manager then check additional drivers for any graphics drivers. [01:33] zmiq: did you get the mac version of ubuntu? [01:33] used the setup_mac_usb_boot.sh script [01:34] zmiq: iirc, you need to make sure the usb driver is in the kernel. i might be way off [01:34] whats the name of the 10.10 shell? [01:34] ruser: Aaand the craptop just completely shut down. Maybe overheat or something. It's happened before, but in Win7... :/ [01:34] now it has started, but my screen says that the signal is out of range! [01:34] lord_enzo, I believe it is crtl-x to boot from there it should be indicated on the screen at some point [01:34] booting from usb because of the external drive? [01:34] Dark_Apostrophe_: how how is does the box feel? [01:34] will a zip extract fail on a long filename in xp [01:35] lord_enzo, did you crtl-x?

[01:56] japanians? === SomeoneWeirdzzzz is now known as SomeoneWeird [01:56] balke [01:56] blake [01:56] lol, stupid friend [01:56] DeviceZer0: apparently you can get any of the 3 [01:57] robin0800 the gnome classic package looks nothing like 10l10 [01:57] *10.10 [01:57] !classic [01:57] The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". For 11.10, see !notunity [01:57] ruser: omg it worked! [01:57] shawn186, it's not exactly gnome 2 [01:57] !gnome [01:57] GNOME is the default !desktop environment on Ubuntu up to 10.10 To install it from Kubuntu or Xubuntu, type « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » in a !terminal. [01:57] Scott0: what did? [01:57] bull [01:58] just apt-get upgrade with the old release sources [01:58] I.m running gnome classic with compiz just installed cairo-dock and it created a session the added gnome -panel to it [01:58] im gonna then try to dist upgrade to the next LTS [01:58] shawn186, you can configure it though use alt click [01:58] Scott0: that's what i'm doing right now [01:58] should i include non LTS releases in my upgrades or just skip over them? [01:58] Scott0, are you on 9.10? [01:59] yes [01:59] the next lts is 10.04 and the one after is 5 1/2 months from release 12.04 [02:00] Scott0: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades [02:00] wow gnome 3 even looks like mac [02:00] the date wasn't in the center of the task bar in 10.10 [02:00] there wasn't a chat balloon by the user's name [02:00] the bar is still a size bigger [02:01] ruser: i love that these all assume theres a DE [02:01] Scott0, if you want to upgrade at all from 9.10 you need to see this link it has the instructions. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [02:02] there was an elegant gear taking the space of both the name and balloon [02:02] Scott0: lol, use the "server" setup [02:02] even this is still usable [02:02] it runs linux [02:03] but not ubuntu [02:03] are the lucid sources still active? [02:04] ruser: and servers still assume theres a DE, im using cli only server [02:04] Scott0: no [02:05] Scott0: i am running a few dedicated boxes without DE and used the core package to update [02:05] installing update-manager-core on a cli server? [02:05] weird [02:05] Can someone help me out with this problem. My network seems to have like a 15 second delay on anything it does. this computer dual boots win7 and has no issues in win7. I just did a ping -c 1 www.google.ca and was giving a 18.7ms response but it required 20 seconds to complete [02:05] ive only ever done apt-get [02:05] Scott0, lucid is a lts [02:05] why wont apt-get dist-upgrade after changing the soruces to lucid work? [02:06] urlin2u: how bad if i didn't change my update mnanger settings to lts and left it at normal and now peforming a release upgrade? [02:06] I want to optimize some logging that is done in an application. The app consists of many CGI scripts which run under Tomcat. Is it a good idea to use some MessageQueue and everytime I want to LOG something I put it in the MessageQueue and then some daemon takes care of writing the MessageQueue to the disk ? [02:06] ruser: your doing what i just mentioned already? [02:06] lol [02:06] ruser, what is the OS right now what release? [02:06] lemme know how that works out :P [02:06] urlin2u: 9.10 :( [02:06] Scott0: yes [02:07] ruser, not good you have to follow a end of life process follow this link as I have told Scott0 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [02:07] why? [02:08] why do you have to follow and end of life process instead of upgrading like i normally would? [02:08] ruser, really I would just back up the stuff needed like media etc and just fresh install, the upgrades can take a while. [02:08] urlin2u: yeah i'm going udpate to the closest LTS and actually i jsut read the comments in the file it's only changes the prompt option. so not an issue [02:08] Scott0, because the repos are closed on end of life OS [02:08] which repos? [02:08] 9.10 or 10.10? [02:08] I'm copying stuff off of an external HD formatted as ext4. Is there a way to mount it so I can copy stuff off, ignoring permissions? I'd rather not have to sudo cp then change permissions. (mounting as ro) [02:09] Scott0, 9.10 is end of life read the link please. [02:09] urlin2u: i switched to the old release repos and upgraded [02:09] urlin2u: the page that documetnation links to is broken :) [02:09] fellows, I need your help, I'm trying boot using an iso from grub2(because i cannot boot from usb)but I cannot, I've tried with some entries but when I try to boot i alwasy get 3 errors, " the disk cannot get C/H/S values","such disk doesn't exist" and "the kernel have to be loaded first"(or something like that). the only way i can boot with an iso iss by unetbootin(putting the iso on the hard dive) but that way I'm unable to install [02:09] urlin2u: now im going to take my upgraded 9.10 and dist-upgrade to lucid [02:09] im guessing you dint know i did the old-release thing from the EOL page [02:09] personally crossed over from the dark side since hardy herron, but still really just a user. now looking for help w/ multiple displays in ubuntu studio 11.10 install [02:10] Hi, let's see who can help me [02:10] these are my entries http://pastebin.com/L8SGh08u [02:10] I installed a 11.10 today, and I have problems with my graphics (or at least I think is that) [02:11] (btw, the iso es on my pendrive, sdb1) [02:11] I started the live CD by selection NOACPI option, and after the installation was done, urlin2u showed me the way to boot the system with the nomodeset option, which worked and I could start the system. Then, an update prompt told me to upgrade mi Nvidia derived graphics drivers, and I did so [02:12] ruser, read carefully that link I don't just espouse this to please my self it is basically what has to be done for a stable upgrade, besides going to grub 2. Look for this line in the link for what I'm saying as proof to reading the link correctly and understanding it. We will do the following upgrades, 8.10 to 9.04 to 9.10 to 10.04 LTS. [02:12] this is why i stopped using ubuntu for servers 2 years ago... [02:12] never had to deal with update-manager stuff in cli [02:12] right now I'm where I begin: I cannot launch the system, because I get a black screen (and the monitor just go to sleep) even if I choose nomodeset option at the grub [02:12] and yet here you are [02:12] urlin2u: that's whati'm doing right now. 9.10 to 10.04 that is [02:13] reisio: pulled a computer out of my closet [02:13] reisio: he just came in to ask :) [02:13] Scott0, you let yourself get caught here by not staying updated it is your fdault, and you are not following a standard process. [02:13] Scott0: sure sure :p [02:13] lol right [02:13] i use plain debian for my servers [02:13] ubuntu only for desktop [02:13] I use striped debian [02:13] striped? [02:13] .... [02:13] no those are dots [02:14] stripes are more like | || | || | [02:14] reisio: are you trolling me? [02:14] lol, i was about to say that [02:14] theres not even a lot of the apps I was using in 10.10 in 11.04 [02:14] ruser: too slow :p [02:14] like the palmos thing [02:14] agemoi100 [02:14] hello! can somebody help me please? [02:14] shawn186: i'm sure yoiu can install them using the package manager [02:15] Scott0: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMEe7JqBgvg [02:15] lord_enzo: with? [02:15] someone who know about gub2? [02:15] i liked the natural way of installing a proportion [02:15] How do I force close Muon? [02:15] sianhulo: what about it [02:16] "fellows, I need your help, I'm trying boot using an iso from grub2(because i cannot boot from usb)but I cannot, I've tried with some entries but when I try to boot i alwasy get 3 errors, " the disk cannot get C/H/S values","such disk doesn't exist" and "the kernel have to be loaded first"(or something like that). the only way i can boot with an iso iss by unetbootin(putting the iso on the hard dive) but that way I'm unable to install. these are my entrie [02:16] s http://pastebin.com/L8SGh08u" [02:16] reisio: LOL [02:16] Anobody? Force closing Muon? [02:16] it seems ubuntu is getting worse like windows [02:16] ^ [02:16] whatsaHacker: find the corresponding process and kill it? [02:16] I explained it before! well, i have been having problems with the installation of ubuntu and my graphics, I got the black screen. urlin2u told me to do the nomodeset option from the grub. After doing that, the system started OK, but when doing the upgrades for the nvidia drivers, at restarting it won't go again, not even with nomodeset [02:16] whatsaHacker: no idiea what is muon [02:17] package manager [02:17] Must completly remove libreoffice. However. Libreoffice does not show up in software center. How must remove? [02:17] anyone know what the command is to build a new kernel and detect running modules and place that in .config [02:17] make something [02:17] to detect the running modules [02:17] the command was introduced with kernel 2.6 [02:18] any help be apreciated [02:18] parabyte: sudo lsmod? [02:18] lord_enzo, I haven't used nvidia in a while, but as far as i remember, ubuntu wasn't up to date with it's driver, yous hould look for a way to obatin the newer [02:18] no its a make something [02:18] parabyte: lsmod will show you the modules loaded [02:18] it detects and makes a .config file for building new kernel [02:18] ruser, its like make something [02:18] how can I uninstall the drivers the system has just updated? because with those, I cannot start [02:18] Nevermind. Forgot about Sudo apt-get remove -Item- [02:18] i been for hours scratching my head googaling it even make help [02:19] celltech: run: dpkg -l | grep office it will show you package names, you can thenremove the libreoffice ones [02:19] sianhulo, how can I uninstall the drivers the system has just updated? because with those, I cannot start [02:19] parabyte: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile ? [02:19] ActionParsnip How do I remove from terminal once opened [02:20] lord_enzo: while running, did you try a third-party driver for nvidia? [02:20] lord_enzo, newer drivers are supossed to replace old ones [02:20] ruser, thanks [02:20] ruser, make localmodconfig [02:21] parabyte: yep, it's all there [02:21] dunno why its not in make help [02:21] lord_enzo, the other option is to use apt-get remove and later install the one who comes with the cd [02:21] ruser, what annoys me about linux they sometimes miss certain details [02:21] no, when started after the installation, (with nomodeset option at GURB) the automatic updates just told me to activate some nvidia drivers, and I told it to do so… [02:22] parabyte: agreed. usually they are really good with details though :) [02:22] sniahulo, how do I use the apt-get remove command to do so? [02:22] parabyte: atleast libc man pages are awesome :) [02:22] ruser: still doing the dist-upgrade? [02:22] ruser: i went ahead with it :P [02:23] Scott0: i'm already on 10.04.03 :) [02:23] so it worked [02:23] why can't ubuntu look like this anymore? http://design.canonical.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/ambiance-maverick-preview_update.png [02:23] then whats with the update-manager-core stuff [02:23] hi guys, I just installed 10.04 (64 bit) on a new HP Pavilion... I'm having some trouble with wireless and an extended monitor. Can anyone point me in the right direction for drivers? [02:23] Scott0: i did do-release-upgrade that is [02:23] ruser: ah so you did [02:23] Scott0: that comes writh core [02:23] im not :P [02:23] Scott0: that's the "proper" way though [02:24] sianhulo, how do I use the apt-get remove command to do so? [02:24] ruser: did you switch to the lucid sources first? [02:24] benlebovitz: you will need to be a bit more specific as to which wifi chipset and gfx card(s) [02:24] Scott0: nope it does it on it's own [02:24] Scott0: that's the beauty [02:24] lord_enzo: what pacakge are you trying to remove? [02:24] wish i could do what it needs manually [02:24] shawn186, it is not part of the overall development plan basically, but I believe you can install in oneiric a gnome 2 like DE not sure how though, butI think there is a gnome classic [02:24] not a fan of magic stuff [02:25] ruser: the last one installed, its a nvidia driver package that installed automatically [02:25] the 'gnome classic' sucks [02:25] if you mean gnome-session-fallback [02:25] i have gnome classic installed [02:25] .changelog [02:25] cyphase: compared to what? [02:25] lord_enzo, sudo apt-get remove "name of the package" [02:25] but it still looks like 11.04 shit [02:25] lord_enzo: do you know the package name? [02:25] I don't remember… [02:25] Scott0, compared to what i have now on my 11.04 machine [02:25] nothing like maverick [02:25] it is annoying [02:25] cyphase: are you rich? [02:25] I've been hours with this, and I'm kind of "soft-brained" [02:26] but i cat remember the command you use for install packages from a cd [02:26] cyphase: my hardware cant support the pretty crap [02:26] <_r00t_> gpu benchmarking under ubuntu ? [02:26] Scott0, i think you misunderstand. on 11.04 i'm using gnome2, with gnome-panel [02:26] Scott0, and it looks like it always has [02:26] cyphase: oooh [02:26] Scott0, but in 11.10 gnome-session-fallback's gnome-panel is crap [02:27] cyphase: im on 11.04 using "Ubuntu Classic no effects" [02:27] grub2, someone knows about it? [02:27] Scott0, i'm using classic with effects [02:27] cyphase: whats the alrternative with 11.10? [02:27] ive heard the next big thing for compz will some how makeing it work on non3d acell hardware [02:27] id like to upgrade but not if im gonna be stuck with unity or a broken gnome2 [02:27] Scott0, i don't know, but i'm gonna take a look at kde now. never though i'd say that [02:28] and gnome 3 looks too pretty [02:28] Scott0, i'll give gnome-shell and unity a chance [02:28] and maybe they'll be better next release [02:28] eh [02:28] omfg [02:28] prob not [02:28] but i'm pessimistic on them right now [02:28] everyone is trying to make computing "easy" [02:29] though really, i'm not sure i want to install 11.10 on my main machine until i sort this out [02:29] so catering to a generation that wants to avoid having to think to do anything is a mistake [02:29] unity will see big imprivements in the next release [02:29] lord_enzo: you need to track that package name down try finding it in here sudo apt-cache search nvidia [02:29] dr_willis: but gnome will still be the same version as now right? [02:30] spacebug-: ask the gnome devs. :-) [02:30] The Next Unity! Even More Babying! [02:30] when making it looks nice takes second place to functionality, im upset [02:30] cyphase: lol [02:30] dr_willis: heh just read somethign about that in a few blogs [02:31] cyphase: have you tried gnome3? [02:31] Scott0, to be honest I'm surprised you have opposable thumbs at all with your and probably your heredity unable to adapt. :D [02:31] I'm upset because they quit screensaver and a way for personalizing the themes you have(i don't like gnome tweak tool) [02:31] urlin2u: unable to adapt? [02:31] Scott0, i've given it a cursory try. i dont think i like it, but im gonna give it a chance [02:31] you seem to be confusing adaptation with encouraging laziness [02:31] anyone here at all know what I am asking about? [02:31] ruser: it gives me a lot of results…. and I don't remember the right one. [02:32] and, i'm upset because i haven't been able to install ubuntu with my pendrive either [02:32] i dont like encouraging laziness === SomeoneWeird is now known as SomeoneWeirdAFK [02:32] but whatever thats why there are other distros [02:32] back to ubuntu support now... [02:32] what I can do is reinstall the system, as it doesn't take long, and I have nothing in the computer, start it again with the nomodeset option, but I would like to know what to do after that… where can I get some proper drivers, or not… [02:32] lord_enzo: what chipset [02:33] Anbody using tweetdeck? [02:33] I need some help with a vb install of oneric, I had a powerdown during upgrade and now have a blue console screen that is unreadable, how can I get past it? [02:33] Scott0, adapt yes ethier use the DE or find another using a circular thinking/complain process on the irc instead of just moving on is rather inefficient. [02:33] vishwas, linux lost support of tweetdeck [02:33] amd [02:33] urlin2u: discussions are not inefficient [02:33] urlin2u: are you trying to stamp out opposition? [02:33] dibs: maybe you need an install CD [02:34] dr_willis. I'm with an AMD Athlon, and the graphic card is a zotac [02:34] !text | dibs [02:34] dibs: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [02:34] Scott0, so tell me then how is this discussion helping you then. [02:34] i lvoe when people think that discussion about topics they dont agree with are a waste of time [02:34] its so one sided [02:34] lord_enzo: nvudia or ati chipset? not the brand. [02:34] dr_willis: I can get to term that way and managed to get upgrade and update etc finished but still no graphics [02:34] urlin2u: im obligated to discuss things only to help myself? [02:35] nvidia [02:35] sorry [02:35] urlin2u: that doesnt sound right [02:35] <_r00t_> What's a good gpu benchmarking under ubuntu ? [02:35] Scott0, lol no gop ahead I am just suggesting you wasting your time canonical will not change, it is you that has to. [02:35] urlin2u: i know [02:36] im just upset about the direction all of a sudden === en1ggy is now known as whatsaHacker [02:36] being a user since 6.10 [02:36] lord_enzo: install with nomodeset, boot with nomodeset, install nvudia drivers, reboot with out nomodeset [02:36] it makes me sad [02:36] Scott0: what is wrong with direction? [02:36] _r00t_: some games will allow you to show fps [02:37] I have setup UFW for my ubuntu box. I set default incoming to deny all. Besides my http, ftp, sshd, and mysql are there any ports I should open? [02:37] Scott0, cool thing is the 100's of choices you have as far as open source setup. [02:37] dr_willis: that's what I have almost done, I started with ACPI off, then, booted with nomodeset, and Installed one of the two packages the system prompted me to activate, and then, I cannot start with or without nomodeset [02:37] <_r00t_> thanks ActionParsnip - any suggestions ? I've never played on linux :o [02:37] _r00t_: http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=486495 [02:37] is anyone around that can tell me what file to change, i just upgraded a couple days ago, and my desktop is enourmous, i am in my comp with live cd, was hoping there was a configuration file somewhere that i can manually enter my resolution? [02:38] should I start from scratch again? :( [02:38] dibs: catering to people who have no desire to learn about computers in order to use them [02:38] _r00t_: doom3, urban terror, alien arena [02:38] when they are fully capable of learning [02:38] <_r00t_> ActionParsnip: Cool and thanks [02:38] _r00t_: http://www.techdrivein.com/2011/07/top-10-fps-games-for-linux.html === luist is now known as ojs [02:38] _r00t_: urban terror is sweet if you like countersrike [02:38] lord_enzo: with 11.10 for me i dont evenneed nomodeset at all.... on my 4 nvudia nqchines [02:39] Scott0: you don't need to be leet to need to use a computer. You can chose to just use terminal to do everything if you object to user friendly ui? [02:39] dibs: i didnt think ubuntu would go that way [02:39] there was no prior indication to me that it would [02:39] kind of blindsided by it [02:39] <_r00t_> nope dont like gaming. [02:39] Scott0: it's "linux for human beings" [02:39] dibs: im not human? [02:39] hey guys… vote for my band please, just have to open the link: http://tinyurl.com/3k2bwgb thanks *-* [02:40] _r00t_: i dont game much. I used to a lot. the forst link I gave has a lot of benchmarking stuffs [02:40] Scott0: Can't be sure [02:40] dibs: being human has nothing to do with having the desire to learn [02:40] they can learn, they just dont want to [02:40] Scott0: learn what? [02:40] dr_willis, don't know, it's my first time with a linux, and it's being a nightmare! I don't know what happens… In my Mac laptop (with nvidia also) it works perfectly.. being a mac! but with the AMD/nvidia one it's crazy [02:40] <_r00t_> Thanks ActionParsnip - Yes I'm going to use that lost [02:40] the ins and outs of computers [02:40] not everyone is wanting to know this htough [02:41] just installed 11.10 ubuntu studio and cannot setup a 2nd display like i can in ubuntu. need some help...:-( [02:41] Scott0, there are people who aren't "capable" to learn. I personally use the console the most i can, it's faster than a GUI [02:41] I like to know, you do too obviously but it should not be mandated [02:41] great, gonn have ubuntu users that dont know the difference between the power button and the one to iopen the optical drive [02:41] its sad, i have proof that such individuals exist [02:41] lord_enzo: the mac works but nirmal pc has ussues hmm.. [02:41] however, people may choice [02:41] Scott0, Alt+right-click lets you add things to the panel [02:41] Scott0, in gnome-classic [02:41] cyphase: is that good? [02:41] Scott0: it sound slike you need to get a windows machine, very complicated, lots of challenges, good times [02:41] How do I add one single song to Banshee? Without rescanning everything. [02:42] dibs: umm what you are explaining is supposed to be linux [02:42] scott0: i thought that was a cup-holder! [02:42] Scott0, at least you *can* add things to the panel. i thought it wast possible after i tried before [02:42] dibs: and besides, why would i pay for an operating system? [02:42] emery drag and drop perhaps [02:42] because you like to make it difficult? [02:42] dr willis.......... trying [02:42] to learn from the experience? [02:43] dr_willis, what I meant, is that mac starts with EFI and all the stuff, and they have all that proprietary hardware/software, and it doesn't give me problems, but the other, which should work straight away doesn't… i don't have problems assuming it's my fault, but I keep frustrating [02:43] dibs: linux is historically been an OS that encourages learning through difficulty [02:43] its fun! [02:43] lord_enzo: what exact nvudia chipset? [02:44] Scott0: I found Win7 hard and I've use Windows and inux for years [02:44] Scott0: Ubuntu is about accessability isn't it? [02:44] so, if you have an enterprise and you want to upgrade computers hardware, you'll lost baluable time to amek it works properly? [02:44] ActionParsnip: windows 7 is easy [02:44] So who can tell me how to get graphical mode working in ocelt from term?

[03:39] JustBecauseYouAr, I do recommend seizing the trolling though, as it's incredibly irritating. [03:39] cdubya, yeah, but I'm concerned about linux's ability to handle OSX partitions with HFS+ file system [03:39] JustBecauseYouAr: "Based on Debian and Ubuntu, it provides about 30,000 packages and one of the best software managers." from http://www.linuxmint.com/about.php [03:39] JustBecauseYouAr: just to educate [03:39] educate yourself [03:39] UNIX bruh [03:40] Anybody that wants slick download progress bars for Chromium in Unity, star this bug - http://crbug.com/102792 [03:40] dont feed the troll [03:40] feed me im hungry [03:40] roasted, I guess I was thinking of resizing your partitioned and then having some unpartitioned space available that you could use gparted to handle [03:40] JustBecauseYouAr: ok, you go and tell the mint devs what their product is.

[03:56] dannnnn: root is uber [03:57] but when logged in as root via ssh i can't access that dir as root [03:57] it should not be possible to access it unless logged in as dan [03:57] dannnnn: In other hand... [03:58] whats the point of being able to change ownership if root can always log in [03:58] and open it [04:00] root is special [04:00] other users however would be locked out [04:00] dannnnn: One think for sure, neither ssh or any other service sould allow root login (unless really have to). [04:00] *nor [04:02] normally you dont ssh in directly as root [04:02] its a security setting of sshd [04:03] ok [04:03] if you do allow root ssh login you should only allow with certificates, not with password auth [04:03] i always shh as root [04:03] from my understanding === JimmyJ_ is now known as JimmyJ [04:03] can i deny root login via some config file ?

(the output is thousands of lines) [04:10] JokesOnYou77, using something like "ls > file.txt" [04:10] do you guys feel that nvidia is the way to go? i haven't tried an amd card or whatever they used to be called in years [04:11] zykotick9: That's exactly what I'm doing now: "ls -h -R -l /path/tofile > name.txt" but it floods the terminal window [04:11] wankdanker_: yes, until the drivers catch up; but i assume most amd/ati users dual boot to make the most of it [04:11] Quick, hopefully easy question: How can I install 11.10 to a USB flash drive? (Not LiveUSB, but an actual installation) [04:12] !persustent | Naqut [04:12] How do you add more walls to the desktop wall? [04:12] !persistent | NAQUT [04:12] NAQUT: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [04:12] aeon-ltd: that's what i figured. didn't know if they had actually caught up yet. too bad. [04:12] JokesOnYou77, is the output you are seeing error messages? [04:12] how do i know if i have pci-e slot? [04:13] Naqut: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/installing-ubuntu-to-a-usb-hard-drive/ You can basically install it exactly as you would to a normal hdd, just be careful not to overwrite your actual hard drives [04:13] e for expansion or express? [04:13] express [04:13] zykotick9: no just a really massive amount of information. [04:13] Doing the install in a VM with no HD, forwarding the usb device to the VM [04:14] zykotick9: I also can't tell if my scrollback limits are cutting the output either [04:14] Naqut: I use the liveCD and point GRUB to the USB flash drive for that ;) (as a normal HDD) [04:14] JokesOnYou77, I don't get the option on 11.10 to select the partitions [04:14] and if i dont have an express slot? the only ones a can see are pci 2.2 slots [04:14] JokesOnYou77, um, there is a variable i'm not seeing (thinking of) here. When i use your command i get no output in my terminal. Sorry i don't have an answer. Good luck. === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === harry is now known as Guest66898 [04:17] zykotick9: really? but the text file has the listing? I'm trying to map the permissions for files on a large shared system because the old sysadmin was really inconsistant in the way he set things up so I'm trying to see how far the file permission descrepancies go into individual user's directories [04:17] katyl, seem acer's page for your computer is at http://support.acer.com/acerpanam/desktop/0000/Acer/AspireSA60/AspireSA60sp2.shtml i have no idea what a VGA slot is, i'm guessing they meant AGP? [04:18] Naqut: Really? What do you mean, slect the partitions? That guide is real old... [04:18] TheCowboy, generally the compiz-configuration-manager is where you do this are you using the alt-tab to switch? [04:18] Basically, it just comes up with a window with no partitions show, and the add/remove/edit etc. buttons are greyed [04:19] urlin2u, I didn't see an option to add more walls, I'm using ctrl-alt and the arrow keys to slide between walls [04:20] JokesOnYou77, i'm testing with "ls -h -R -l /usr/ > test.txt" and no output to terminal, ended up with a 8.5M file [04:21] zykotick9: You were right! The output was errors for files I don't have permissions on. Thank you :) [04:21] think vga is video graphics array [04:22] yeah, it was before agp, me thinks [04:22] wankdanker_, before AGP was PCI [04:22] hi everyone, I really need dictionary programs (word translation from one lang to another) [04:22] katyl, vga = video grafx adapter [04:22] TheCowboy, general-desktopsize the adding thigh may not be easy not sure sense with 4 it is a flat cube without the cube which is actually easy to setup, which can have lots of sizes [04:22] it' s like the one feature that makes me yearn for Windows [04:22] Naqut: You can't select the device to install to? I haven't done this with 11.10, I've only tried it with BackTrack5 and only had moderate success, but I have been able to start the process. You may need to reformat the USB you want to use. How big is it? [04:22] zykotick9: right. beer. [04:23] 16GB. No worries, I think I found a way to do it another wya [04:23] katyl, VGA is a port, not a slot - that page is just wrong... [04:24] Naqut: Cool. good luck [04:24] urlin2u, didn't know about that, will give it a try, thank you [04:24] Since I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.10 on my Toshiba Satellite Laptop, I have been experiencing a lot of crashes, spontaneous log offs and spontaneous shut downs. Any ideas what's cause it or how fix? Didn't have this many problems with 11.04, though it did crash as well. The spontaneous shut downs worry me a little cause that could damage something, right? [04:24] TheCowboy, no problem. [04:24] Naqut: Actually, what way is that? I've only had limited success doing this myself and alternatives wouls be appreciated lol [04:26] basically, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [04:27] hi, i'm trying to run the following line via command line 'echo "cd public_html\nmput -r /var/www/foldername" | ncftp -umy_un -pmy_pass domain.com > ftp.log 2>&1 &', but the only command being piped into ncftp is "cd ". does anyone know what i'm doing wrong? [04:27] when i dont include '> ftp.log 2>&1 &' it works ifne [04:27] Naqut: Ahh, yeah, I've been trying to get away from the persistent install because flash drives just cause so many disk errors, but it works really well most of the time [04:28] hey-thanks you're right that page is wrong i have got an agp slot [04:28] katyl, that makes sense ;) [04:29] d:) can i get a new card easily then? [04:29] do they still make agp cards? [04:30] ebay [04:30] craiglist [04:30] screw ebay [04:30] what are the best cards to look for? [04:30] any thang with more than 128mbs of ram [04:30] for pci or agp slot? [04:31] agp [04:31] and posabley nvidia or ati cards [04:31] i would say nvidia [04:31] nvidia++ [04:32] just cause i ant ever had a prob setting it up [04:32] hello [04:32] Is there any way to look at a log of what caused the spontaneous shut down? [04:33] so if i get a nvidia (or ati) card with an agi slot then everything should work ok? [04:33] (agp) [04:33] if you have a agp slot yep that is what you want [04:34] would have to do anything funny with the power? [04:34] katyl, i won't recommend nvidia (non-free driver), BUT i'd recommend against ATI (also non-free) [04:34] Naqut: maybe this is what r you looking for http://www.twm-kd.com/software/boot-virtualbox-machine-from-a-usb-flash-drive/ [04:34] anything you would recommend? [04:34] anyone know how to disable the shutdown when a battery is low? [04:35] katyl, nvidia over ati was my point ;) [04:35] zykotick9: is that your phylisophical position? [04:35] thesheff17, what do you want to happen? [04:35] I have a laptop with two batteries and when one reaches a low level it powers off the laptop even though the other battery is full. [04:35] zykotick9, you confized me [04:35] be more clear [04:35] lol [04:35] ahh d:) that makes more sense! [04:35] zenrox, nvidia over ati was my point ;) [04:36] would i take the other card out? [04:36] urlin2u, any ideas? This is ubuntu 11.10 [04:36] zykotick9, i noticed that after i reread what you had type [04:36] katyl, yes [04:37] Might have to go back to 11.04 until this is fixed [04:37] so then the power usage would be about the same? [04:37] ya [04:37] thesheff17, not really I only have one battery, there probably is a way though, just make sure your clear when you explain what you need. [04:37] sure will do [04:38] cool ill get hunting- any suggestions of where to look other than ebay? [04:38] tigerdirect.com / newegg.com [04:38] katyl, you're getting a bit offtopic with that question ;) [04:38] Can anyone hear me? Using Xchat for first time, not sure if I got it set up right. [04:38] BentSpace, nope ;) [04:38] BentSpace, tast passed [04:39] BentSpace, we see you what else do you need? [04:39] BentSpace: you are very quiet, please turn up the gain [04:39] anyone know what the deal with the unity bar in 11.10 is? Mine acts ghetto, will not pop up when I goto the top right like it did in 11.04.. Does some other werid stuff can not remember.. [04:40] wankdanker_, HOW ABOUT NOW? [04:40] Fraak87, you can change the activation in the unity-plugin in compiz-configuration-manager [04:40] BentSpace: lol. perfect! [04:40] jahshaka anyone knows the program and how I can download? [04:40] BentSpace, and turn off your web caM. :d [04:40] is that a GUI thing, or something done in command line..? Sorry, new to Linux.

[04:41] ok i can access my windows network when i switch to ubuntu classic why cant i in 11.10 an how do you change your workgroup? please help ty in advance [04:41] Fraak87, the compiz-configuration-manager is s gui that adjusts the window manager you need to install it. [04:42] s=a* [04:42] ahh. so apt-get install compiz-configuration-manager? thanks! I'll try that. [04:42] ha cheeky! anyway just one more non technically ubuntu thing to say then... [04:42] hi all [04:43] thanks for your help! [04:43] jahshaka anyone knows the program and how I can download? [04:43] Fraak87, apt-get install compiz-configuration-manager [04:43] Fraak87, inside is te unity-plugin I am assuming that you need to adjust the trigger point. [04:43] jahshaka anyone knows the program and how I can download? [04:43] ok. thanks. [04:43] is there an ubuntu tablet version? [04:44] urlin2u, is that something different then compizconfig-settings-manager (ccsm)?

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [04:45] zykotick9, no I wasn't sure if ccsm in the terminal brings that up, I went to precise. [04:45] Is it possible to install gcc-4.3 on 11.10 ? [04:45] and if yes - how? [04:45] How to find out what causes a crash? [04:46] jahshaka anyone knows the program and how I can download? [04:46] zykotick9, I'm running on debian right now i could not check exactly. [04:46] zyko you always here please help ok i can access my windows network when i switch to ubuntu classic why cant i in 11.10 an how do you change your workgroup? please help ty in advance [04:46] urlin2u, it's the same name in debian? [04:47] zykotick9, yeah your right, hehe I jus automatically install it without thinking. [04:47] norway, if that was to me - you're asking the wrong person. I don't help with windows (in this case Samba) issues. Good luck. [04:47] Fraak87, you get that apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [04:48] k thanx [04:48] I'm using ubuntu 10.10 desktop.

[04:49] bobweaver, broadcom sta wireless driver [04:50] Flynn, could we see a lspci -nn | grep 14e4 [04:50] I thought linux was supposed to be way stable, what's with all the crashing? [04:50] Flynn, please open terminal and enter [04:50] BentSpace: user error? [04:51] BentSpace, ubuntu is not about stability - it's about cutting edge features ;) [04:51] Flynn, lspci -nn | grep 14e4 [04:51] BentSpace: at least I know I usually cause my own problems [04:51] BentSpace, linux, the kernel, is stable. [04:51] BentSpace, it has always been for me maybe your setup=hardware or the install is broken,or you have tweaked something. [04:51] BentSpace: certain hardware can cause problems too [04:51] Hardware problems suck.

[04:56] Flynn, LP-PHY means that it is a low power card [04:56] Flynn, [14e4:4315] is model number [04:56] bobweaver, ok that makes sense its a cheap netboook.

[05:17] Is it unity that causes stability problems? [05:17] flknefw, try and see [05:18] no sound local, no sound in youtube, no sound in flash [05:18] BentSpace, unity has a lot of issues... but could be other things as well [05:18] bobweaver, http://paste.ubuntu.com/726970/ [05:18] venluckey: got another device that can test the speakers?

[05:28] and from what ive been reading there is no way i can update my firmware via linux so i can just use an older version of osx [05:28] bobweaver, 10.10 [05:29] Flynn, one more thing [05:29] Flynn, sudo -i then echo b43 >> /etc/modules/ then exit [05:30] when i click on the folder on my desktop all the folders that is opened suddenly closes [05:30] does anyone knows why [05:31] * KaosMcRage hates Unity. [05:31] linuxuz3r, not really an answer, but the explanation is Nautilus is crashing. Why, I have no idea, would require a crystal ball. [05:31] alright check this... if i cant create a bootable cd via linux with dmg files [05:32] can i convert the dmg to an img to iso and install osx from WITHIN linux?

[05:47] is there a virtual machine for linux so i can install osx in it for the disk utility so i can burn that dmg file? [05:47] is their any other program to make windows games run besides wine/winetricks and playonlinux? [05:48] I pluggen mu phone in to USB, and mounted the SD card as an external USB storage device, I then safely removed it, and unplugged the phone, but the drive still shows in the removable media widget and I still have /dev/sdb an /dev/sdb1 on my system. Anyone know what I need to do to remove those? [05:48] ActionParsnip: have i had to clear the usr/var [05:48] http://paste.ubuntu.com/726977/ [05:48] flknefw, installing OSX into a VM is a violation of apple policy [05:48] lol and? [05:48] fatboy21007: use a vm? but that would take insane processing power [05:48] judh: they are installed using packages, so if you remove the excess packages it will remove the files [05:48] s/pluggen mu/plugged my/ [05:48] me getting robbed of 30 bucks by apple is against my policy [05:48] judh: you don't remove them manually, it will break things [05:49] hi all, anyone wants to help me fix my DNS error [05:49] zykotick9: not hugely, I kinda have updates to autorun every few hours so its all in the background for me [05:49] fatboy21007, there is a proprietary alternative crossover-games (or similar name), no idea how it compares [05:49] should i try to reinstall restriced modules? [05:49] venluckey, what ubuntu is this ? [05:49] it appears to be screwing up my upgrade process (grub config is hanging) [05:49] ActionParsnip, just curious - as it seems to be a common in debian-stable the last couple of weeks [05:50] anyone have a link to doing what 'main menu' does manually, as it's currently busted? Trying to add app to launcher that ubuntu doesn't know about (yet). [05:50] ActionParsnip: then how could i remove them without any breakage? [05:50] zykotick9: it runs this: http://pastebin.com/unWfhXWq [05:50] its xubuntu 10.04 [05:51] judh: if you run: uname -a you will see the CURRENT kernel. if you run: dpkg -l | grep linux-image- you will see the INSTALLED kernels. You can remove any installed kernel but NOT the RUNNING kernel. Yuo will get about 120Mb per kernel [05:51] venluckey, ActionParsnip wrote this look at post #3 https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+question/156210 [05:52] ActionParsnip, very nice. certainly more thorough then my "aptitude safe-upgrade" ;) [05:52] judh: there are countless guides on how to do this stuff [05:52] zykotick9: I like apt-fast ;) [05:52] zykotick9: plus if I run the script and pass it r or s as an arg it will restart or shutdown after the updates [05:53] * zykotick9 goes to research what apt-fast even is [05:53] venluckey, I would also study my alsa file [05:53] * ActionParsnip thinks apt-fast should be default [05:53] ActionParsnip, alais to the rescue ? [05:54] will i be able to burn a disk using virtualbox ?

I'm guessing your uptime is quite large [05:59] judh: once the 32-26 kernel is running, you can remove the other 2 kernels and get even more space [06:00] I have a awk question ps aux |awk '/bash/' {print2} <-- what is wrong I am trying to only output the PID # [06:00] bobweaver: why not use pidof ? [06:01] ActionParsnip, trying to learn and use awk more [06:01] nore about learning then purpose [06:01] bobweaver: gotcha, let me try [06:02] bobweaver, you should have said: ps aux | awk '/bash/ {print $2}' === jbuchanan_ is now known as jbuchanan [06:02] npat, SWEET [06:02] it was the $ before and the placement of '' [06:03] bobweaver: ps -ef | grep bash | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}' works here [06:03] I use 'ps -A | grep PIDHERE'. any better way to do ? [06:03] bobweaver, yes and a space after the "print" [06:03] just rebooting the system....once i get back I will discuss with you soon [06:03] How you get Process name by PID ? [06:03] npat, ActionParsnip thanks you guys are AWESOME [06:04] bobweaver: the grep -v grep is so that the grep itself doesn't show a PID [06:05] ActionParsnip, I see [06:06] * bobweaver is in a love triangle with sed and awk :>) === gloscon is now known as karmraj [06:07] I know its annoying to ask again and again, but I think my question just got lost in that convo. [06:07] How can I get the process name by PID ? [06:07] bobweaver: try it. ps -ef | grep bash see how the grep itself shows and also has a pid [06:07] I am using 'ps -A | grep PIDHERE' but I am sure there must be a better way. [06:08] pipalo, funny we are talking about that [06:09] pipalo, ps aux | awk '/NAMEHERE/ {print $2} [06:09] pipalo, ps aux | awk '/NAMEHERE/ {print $2}' [06:09] bobweaver: haha, odd. when killing defunc process sometimes you just want to know what is the parrent before killing it !

[06:10] ActionParsnip:looks good, will give it a try [06:11] <_sivanov> ultrixx, its for bitcoin mining/iscsi server for other miners [06:12] _sivanov: don't you need an x-server for bitcoin mining? [06:12] i mean an x-server actually running [06:12] <_sivanov> running just just /usr/bin/X is ok [06:12] _sivanov, prior to 11.10, you could move the gdm file in /etc/init/ to a gdm.disabled - not sure if the same would work for lightdm [06:13] i run: sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-2.6.32-21-generic [06:13] /etc/init.d/ zykotick9 ??

[06:15] judh: try: sudo apt-get -f install as it says [06:15] too system specific. with ps you have a chance of it working on something that is not linux [06:16] npat: makes sense, cheers man.

[06:46] judh, having /usr so small is going to lead to BIG issues come upgrade time (already you've maxed it out). You should consider making it bigger. This is why a single / is easier for most people. [06:46] can't even access 'advanced settings' [06:46] gnome classic looks terrible, can't even modify panels or anything.. [06:47] zachera, do you have a support question? [06:47] how do i remove all this crap on 11.10 [06:48] zachera: install xfce4 and use xfce, looks and smells like gnome2 [06:48] yeah i think i'm gonna do that :P [06:48] thanks [06:48] xubuntu, right? [06:48] !purexfce [06:48] If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce » [06:48] mm purple kool aid [06:49] Maintiaining multiple partitions for /, /usr, /, etc is a pain. My view is that unless you have multiple drives, it's not worth the bother [06:50] zachera: No, just a new desktop, you can use the same gnome apps in XFCE [06:50] zachera, installing the xubuntu-desktop should take care of it on ubuntu [06:51] ok [06:51] pnorman: if you use SSD drives its good to put /var and /tmp on a platter based drive to reduce wear [06:51] thanks [06:51] pnorman, it is a good idea for servers or computers with multiple drives. [06:53] zykotick9, I logged into my ubuntu one account a few times and then tried the backup... seemed to work from there. Looked like there were some authentication problems [06:53] also moving internet browser cache to tmpfs is a great way to speed up the browser and use your drive less as well (if you have enough RAM to do so) [06:54] zykotick9: did you like apt-fast [06:54] anyone in here good with virtual box? [06:54] !anyone | flknefw [06:54] flknefw: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [06:54] ActionParsnip, that is a great idea :-) [06:54] ActionParsnip, looks like a neat script - not something i'll be using though [06:54] flknefw: I don't know what 'good' means, but I can get it barely working [06:54] zacharydenton: xfce4 wil give a bare xfce desktop, xubuntu-desktop will install lots of apps that come with xfce which you already have the functionality of ;) [06:54] does that count? [06:54] flknefw: what you ant to know? [06:55] zykotick9: fair play [06:55] well im trying to run osx in it on here and it just keeps saying "still waiting for root device" [06:55] flknefw: does the license permit virtualization? [06:55] zacharydenton: I recommend xubuntu as a gnome 2 + ubuntu replacement. It's very similar in feel with all the ubuntu stuff [06:56] flknefw, it's not going to work - and it's certainly not supported in #vbox (i'd recommend against asking there, they don't approve of violating apples licenses) [06:56] its not going to work yet it works for everyone else? [06:56] dont gimme stupid answers === barna is now known as bipul [06:56] interesting http://thetechjournal.com/electronics/computer/software/mac-software-computer/mac-os-x-lion-allows-license-free-virtualization.xhtml [06:57] zacharydenton: install xubuntu-desktop (sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop), then get everything set up how you like in the session (log out, set default to xfce, etc). [06:57] zacharydenton: once everything is good, you can then remove ubuntu-desktop, which includes all the unity stuff you no longer need. Then autoremove [06:57] flknefw, wow, you're right. looks like the new version of vbox can run OSX. sorry for the bad info. [06:58] err [06:58] lol I failed there [06:58] flknefw: seems its ok with the license. Is the CD you have ok? Is there a checker on the CD at all? [06:58] first of all there is no osx lion cds [06:58] its download only [06:59] flknefw: y ou set the iso up in the instance settings, right? [06:59] 2nd all the prior versions of osx dont need to allow it to be run for them to work [06:59] flknefw: you also have to setup the boot order if I remember correctly. [06:59] if you do those 2 things, it should work. [07:00] actually i know why it might not work [07:00] efi is enabled [07:01] ActionParsnip, "The end user license agreement of Mac OS X does not permit the operating system to run on non-Apple hardware" [07:02] that artical mentions that also.. sort of.. [07:02] flknefw: its not download only, you can get it in apple stores on USB stick for 70 USD [07:02] ActionParsnip, but flknefw does have apple hardware, just not sure it's been used for the vbox [07:02] in vms on osx === ubuntu is now known as jinpenghui [07:03] you wont find it at apple stores [07:03] flknefw: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Os_x_lion [07:03] flknefw: your witnes [07:03] just like you wont find a copy of osx snow leaopard at apple stores [07:03] you gotta buy it online [07:03] idc what that says [07:03] go to any apple store around your home [07:04] morgen [07:04] flknefw: you've selected a 64bit OS when setting up the instance, right? [07:05] flknefw: I don't go ni those places. They always try and tell me their overpriced hardware is awesome [07:05] no clue man [07:05] im not familair with virtual box [07:05] they do have some very pretty hardware [07:05] Shirakawasuna, looks are only skin deep ;) [07:06] I have to admit that my thinkpad is ugly as sin. Anti-theft protection, it looks like it's from 1995. [07:06] how do i get rid of upstart in ubuntu and replace it with something saner? [07:06] flknefw: google "efi virtualbox" there have been several people running down this issue in the forums. [07:07] flknefw: tried VMWare too? [07:07] gunztunz, you must be joking. That would require re-writing the distro, more or less. If you don't wan't upstart, use another distro. === krabbe is now known as Krabbe === Ziber is now known as Liber|away === Liber|away is now known as Ziber [07:08] zykotick9: at my fucking job they forced ubuntu on us as an embedded distro. it's being ruining my life [07:08] fucking retards [07:08] gunztunz: stop it [07:09] i am not saying anything bad about ubuntu [07:09] sorry for my language [07:09] hahaha, your life will conform to the popular vote [07:09] but you can just imagine from the fact that i have been working on an embedded system built on top of a desktop distro how frustrated i must be [07:10] gunztunz: thats not the fault of ubuntu or any other distro [07:10] i have never said that [07:10] it's the fault of a braindead choice [07:11] do you think i can put some other init, given we have no real upstart conf files but just invoke a bash script from there? [07:11] gunztunz: sure you can but that is not a good/clean solution i think [07:12] or is there a *quick* way of having upstart throw some debugging info instead of hanging there without printing anything? [07:12] i can assure nothing is clean in this stuff [07:12] gunztunz: there was a bug for that [07:12] gunztunz: let me have a look [07:12] thank you iceroot [07:12] im doing exactly what this guy is doing in this tutorial [07:13] and it just says no bootable medium found! system halted [07:13] flknefw: did you download the ISO or whatever it is? [07:13] dmg file yes [07:13] flknefw: did you MD5 test it as ok (assuming MD5 sum is available) [07:14] flknefw: can virtualbox boot dmg? [07:14] I'm trying to ndiswapper....when i run sudo modprobe ndiswrapper i get: WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, it will be ignored in a future release. [07:14] ^What does that mean? [07:14] gunztunz: hm at the morning my search-foo is very bad but i am 100% sure there is a bug for exactly that issue [07:15] flknefw: http://www.sysprobs.com/video-create-bootable-lion-os-iso-file-dmg seems you need to convert it into an ISO [07:15] gunztunz: and if i am correct it was the result that it would be fixed in 12.04 [07:15] i think we are in 10.01 [07:15] :( [07:15] gunztunz: or better, it would be checked to integrate that feature in 12.04 [07:15] flknefw, ActionParsnip according to https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/6760 vbox 4 has dmg support [07:15] gunztunz: 10.04 is (imo) not using upstart [07:15] !upstart [07:15] Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [07:15] whatsaHacker: you need to rename /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist so that it has a .conf extension. There is already a blacklist.conf in there so I suggest you run: sudo mv /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist /etc/modprobe.d/myblacklist.conf [07:16] gunztunz: or a misc between both methods [07:16] iceroot, i seem to remember lucid as being the first that used upstart (i could be wrong) [07:16] whatsaHacker: all the files in that folder need a .conf extension for some reason or they get ignored [07:16] iceroot: are you talking about this? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/ifupdown/+bug/497299 [07:16] Launchpad bug 497299 in ifupdown (Ubuntu Karmic) "upstart not starting init-scripts (event net-device-up IFACE=lo missing)" [High,Fix released] [07:16] zykotick9: it was in there but i dont know if everything was changed completly to 10.04 [07:16] Thank you === owner is now known as BostonBruh [07:17] accidently shut my machine down [07:17] back to the virtual machine issue [07:17] gunztunz: hm, i know i was adding me as a affected person (but the search is not showing it under my bugs) that is not the bug i mean [07:18] kk how do i get this thing working [07:19] gunztunz: launchpad is down now :( [07:19] that link is opening for me [07:19] gunztunz: but the topic was a debug-system for upstart [07:19] or you mean the search is down?

[07:21] ugh the one dude who was gonna help me is gone isnt he [07:23] gunztunz: yes that should be possible now, the bug i mean was a default-debug-system for upstart and controlling on failed events [07:23] if i have Enable EFI special OSes only checked virtual box will atleast load up [07:23] gunztunz: e.g. apparmor should be using upstart at the moment and its spawning my tty1 completly with error-messages, so using tty1 should be possible for other scripts too [07:23] but fails to find boot device [07:24] Hello folks. I've got a fresh instalation of Ubuntu 11.10 on my Asus 5750G. I'm trying to dim the screen's brightness, Fn+Left/Right gets recognized by the OS, but the brightness does not change. `ls /sys/class/backlight/` outputs "acpi_video0 intel_backlight", changeing the brightness of intel_backlight works, but for acpi_video0 it does not. How can I tell Ubuntu which card to set the brightness for?

[07:26] where can i see the upstart conf file for apparmor? [07:27] gunztunz: your issue is that upstart is not showing the status at boot? or that your scripts are not able to write to the shell at boot? [07:27] 8 [07:27] upstart not showing the status at boot [07:27] the last thing i see is kernel freed 200kB memory [07:27] which is the same as with our system image that works [07:27] gunztunz: ok, to change that there is the bug i mentioned (and not found at the moment) [07:27] when things work the next thing is the login prompt [07:28] i see :( [07:28] but anyways not in our old version of ubuntu [07:29] gunztunz: yes, that would be a fix for 11.10 or 12.04 (maybe a backport is possible) === Alex`aw is now known as BaNz [07:29] gunztunz: maybe #ubuntu-devel is better for that [07:30] I can't hear the login Sound.

[08:29] html: And that's not your cart at all, I can't look at your purchases just from that link, they are only visible to you -_- [08:30] oh , well do you want to ? === luist_ is now known as luist [08:30] html: Not really. [08:31] Why "screen locked, enter password.." when I select Hibernate in the upper right corner menu? [08:31] html: Again, well, Linux is quite hardware-friendly out of the box, there are rare issues with specific devices [08:31] *Why do I get [08:31] How to recover data from a laptop hardisk ? [08:31] Slartibart: Well, after the PC wakes up, the screen is locked, that's normal [08:32] rabbi1: Difficult. You may try using PhotoRec (a part of Testdisk as of now), but I can't really say how well that would work [08:32] theadmin: :( [08:33] how can i connect this HDD. I got a new one now, which i am using. The vendor said it's not possible. [08:33] hi, i've got a h.264 avi from my digital camera and want to edit it to upload to youtube. Never done this before, anyone knows how the heck i could do that? (1st time, obviously...) [08:33] rabbi1, is your laptop dead? [08:33] scriptwarlock: yeap... [08:34] theadmin, i am being picky cuz i amd doing this for a customer and said that i cuz make a semi -future proof computer, in which i can mess up ..... and now im stuck at which motherbaord to pick [08:34] scriptwarlock: i got a now one, working well with my laptop. what can i do with the old one for data ? [08:34] html: Any, seriously... Linux doesn't care what your motherboard is. I just suggest you pick one with BIOS rather than EFI. [08:35] Guys, remember that clicking noise yesterday? Mobo reports the drives failing. Ubuntu confirms. So I have here a 4TB external, and I need to back up a failing 328GB partition. What's the best way to do this? [08:35] rabbi1, detach the hard drive [08:35] :) fixed my .ssh problem [08:35] scriptwarlock: yeah, it;s on my table now [08:35] rabbi1, you have an enclosure for that? [08:35] theadmin, really????!!!! i was about to get one , ! so why not efi ? [08:36] scriptwarlock: nope [08:36] html: Well, it requires a specific kernel iirc, I'm not sure if Ubuntu has one supporting that [08:36] rabbi1, nothing you can do if you wont connect it using some enclosures with a usb [08:37] theadmin: Yeah, but this happens before the pc goes to sleep. It never really hibernates, just switches to screen locked mode. [08:37] html: Besides, if your customers decide to install Windows, and specifically a pre-Windows 8 version, it won't work [08:37] Slartibart: Do you have a swap partition? Is it mounted? [08:37] scriptwarlock: o got to buy then, what should i buy? its called and enclosure? [08:37] azerty [08:37] will EFI ever be supported? [08:38] rabbi1, http://www.google.com.ph/search?gcx=w&q=laptop+hard+drive+enclosure&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&biw=1139&bih=695&sei=%20yFKyTqyAN4ufiAe3ocScAg [08:38] theadmin: swapon -s and free -m seem to say so, yes. [08:38] html: It is, again, but requires a special kernel configuration thing. Since EFI is not a major deal right now... I see no need to support it, honestly. [08:38] Slartibart: Okay, weird. [08:38] o/ good morning =) [08:38] theadmin: Word ;-7.. [08:39] Slartibart: ...? [08:39] theadmin, THANKS! [08:39] theadmin: I agree with what you were saying [08:39] scriptwarlock: ok, got it. will buy one, what next? which software to use for recovery? [08:40] html: No problems [08:40] tonyyarusso, Sorry someone wanted to talk to me. But I don't know about lightning. I might very well fix my problem with getting google calendar into thundebird [08:40] dddbmt: it's the only way of getting any calendar into Thunderbird as far as I know [08:41] rabbil: look into ddrescue [08:41] Okay - I'll give it a try then. Thank you very much! :) tonyyarusso [08:42] dddbmt, i'm using a google cal with thunderbird and lightning [08:42] works like a charm [08:42] rabbi1, just plug the enclosure to your new laptop and ubuntu will detect it for you [08:42] sounds great stanman246 :) [08:42] Anyone knows why my apache2 won't follow symlinks although in configuration it is turned on? [08:42] dddbmt, using it with tb7.01 [08:42] you could also use sunbird, which is the full calendar app [08:43] MeanEYE: maybe wrong rights on the destination file? [08:43] MeanEYE, i geuss restart it , or pc running it [08:43] JapyDooge: Am linking directory. [08:43] stanman246, same as I got! (7.01). It's a little important that it's google calendar as it's for work. [08:43] สวัสดี [08:43] then rights on the destination folder MeanEYE? :) [08:43] html: tried restarting apache itself. Don't see the point in restarting computer. [08:43] JapyDooge: 0775 on all files. [08:44] also on the folder itself? [08:44] JapyDooge: Yes. [08:44] hmmm [08:44] what error you get? [08:44] in the errors.log [08:44] JapyDooge: drwxrwxr-x 10 meaneye meaneye 4096 2011-11-03 09:31 Web [08:44] Give me a moment [08:44] k :) [08:44] MeanEYE, it cuz be the sever got to hot ? or some thing hardware wise is not right [08:44] JapyDooge: You don't have permission to access /shenkin on this server. [08:44] ah [08:45] MeanEYE: on what user runs your apache? (i think default is www-data) [08:45] JapyDooge: default one... www-data [08:45] i think you might want to try a 'chown -R www-data:www-data /shenkin' [08:45] html: this is linux. Not windows. [08:46] JapyDooge: Tried, not working. But I'll try again. [08:46] because it's set 7 for user, but the user is you and not www-data [08:46] JapyDooge: Same. [08:46] hmmm [08:46] thats strange [08:46] MeanEYE, lol oh yeahhh("kool aid man") [08:46] JapyDooge: Yeah. I've been hitting my head with this for an hour now. [08:47] lol [08:47] html: I can restart it but it wont help. [08:47] lemme think for a sec xD [08:47] JapyDooge: Okies. [08:48] MeanEYE: how did you enable the symlinks? [08:48] Options FollowSymLinks in the directory directive? [08:48] JapyDooge: They should be enabled by default... but yes... that's the way they are enabled. [08:48] MeanEYE, its just thinking about the basics , which for servers cooling is a big one , but its a though === Mud is now known as Guest35653 [08:48] html: Not a server. :D My development machine. :D [08:48] ahh i'm not sure if its enabled by default for all vhosts [08:49] but yea [08:49] JapyDooge: not a vhost, just default /var/www site. [08:49] should work then [08:49] ah [08:49] wtf :P [08:49] JapyDooge: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:49] MeanEYE, whats that? [08:49] html: A normal PC which has no problems with heating :D [08:49] - [08:49] JapyDooge: Weird, I know. And usually it worked out of the box... Now it doesn't. [08:50] * JapyDooge boots ubuntu server vm, try to have the same problem :p [08:50] JapyDooge: Hm, I could create vhost. The same way phpmyadmin is doing. That would solve my problem I guess. === zol_ is now known as zo_l [08:50] probely yea [08:51] JapyDooge: I'll do it that way. Thank you anyway :D [08:51] gl :) [08:51] JapyDooge: Thanks. :D [08:51] i'll try anyway, want to see what goes wrong lol [08:51] ^^ [08:51] html: Thanks for suggestions though :D [08:52] * JapyDooge steals bastidrazor's crazy chicken [08:52] I get "snapshot_ioctl: ioctl '4004330a' is deprecated and will be removed soon, update your suspend-to-disk utilities" when I try to hibernate. But how to update that?? [08:53] I'm running 11.10, and update-manager says it is all updated.. [08:54] MeanEYE, if your like me i take i 6core 32 gb of ram and 2tb and turn it in to a beast , gaming, server , video, making 30 web tabs open, and like 5 more thing at the same time [08:54] html: :D well, I don't have powerful computers... but this laptop is fairly strong. I use my machines for development only. Thenk software is deployed elsewhere. [08:55] and linux can do it all, picky at times but yeah MeanEYE === TheDreamer is now known as Youri === gloscon is now known as karmraj [08:56] Slartibart: seems to be a kernel issue when i look around a bit [08:56] i'm not too much into that sadly, but i hope it gets updated soon [08:56] JapyDooge: Weird. Even with alias I get the same error. It's deffinately problem with permissions but I fail to see what. [08:56] MeanEYE, well i do either but if i did have the money , which is bout 890$ i might [08:56] hm wtf :p [08:57] MeanEYE: can u compare permissions of the phpmyadmin folder and yours? [08:57] or set it 777 :P [08:57] * JapyDooge runs [08:57] Heelo [08:57] html: Agree. But still I like playing with a weaker machines because then I get to see how site behaves "under load" [08:57] after login in, the there are small loading dots everywhere on the screem (the ubuntu loading) [08:57] anyone know how to fix that? [08:58] JapyDooge: Oh, ok =/. Well, I have never messed with the kernel before so I guess I shouldn't do it now. Thanks. [08:58] I want to use dd_rescue to save a drive, but I'm not sure if it will wipe the destination drive. The goal is to write to a file on the destination drive. Is this the default behavior? [08:59] r000t__mlt: Um, depends -- if you specify the destination like "/media/your_drive/file.img" it will write to the file, if you specify it like "/dev/sda1" it will write to the drive itself [08:59] might be fixed in the next update Slartibart :) [08:59] not sure if there is a bug report out [08:59] Now, here's the kicker. I just got done backing up a RAID I just blew up onto this external, so a lot is at risk here. Have you used dd_rescue in the past? [09:00] r000t__mlt: You know, reading the manual and understanding the basics is enough. [09:00] I've been reading the manual but I want to be 100% sure it won't overwrite the partition like what is implied. [09:01] r000t__mlt: Read my message again. [09:01] my wireless has been working fine since 10.04 untill 11.10. With 11.10, the network menu says "device not ready". Doesn't say "missing firmware" though. [09:01] So you're 100% positive it will write to a file? [09:01] r000t__mlt: The partition is also a file, under /dev. So if you specify that as an output file, it WILL overwrite it. [09:01] r000t__mlt: If you specify a place on the partition's mountpoint, e.g. /media/whatever/backup.img, it will write to that. [09:01] Okay [09:01] thanks :D [09:02] has anyone else had problem with wireless in 11.10 [09:02] MeanEYE, very agree , i just add that i hope you can put it on a scale , like google mail when your pc cant or is to slow put an option to fix the page to load faster, (please moble cell and netbook friendly ) and it is nice it write a app so it can tell whats going on and it auto optimzed itself, === kondores is now known as ctcp [09:03] I should not move Windows C partition with /boot flag? [09:03] http://i.imgur.com/YzbiV.png [09:03] bhavesh: You shouldn't, indeed [09:03] MeanEYE, cuz im sick for pages nOT loading corretly on my netbook [09:03] k [09:04] JapyDooge: I'll hold my breath ;) [09:05] Morning guys, can anyone help remove/reset the config files for OnBoard keyboard ? [09:05] Is there a logical explanation for why I get "cryptsetup: WARNING: failed to detect canonical device of /dev/sda3"? None of my partitions are supposed to be encrypted. [09:05] haha gl Slartibart, if you want to see if there is a bugreport on that issue, check the trackers on launchpad.net :) [09:06] Help? My cursor keeps spinning and it's driving me nuts >.< I can't see where I'm clicking if it's always round === meaneye_ is now known as MeanEYE [09:07] JapyDooge: Any luck? [09:07] yea [09:08] firing up the test machine, forgot to connect network and keyboard [09:08] lol [09:09] theadmin, but isnt MBR another space of memory in CPU other than Hard drive? So why does it affect if I move a partition? I guess grub2 does not store boot information on mbr while win7 does? [09:10] bhavesh: err... No, MBR is the first few sectors of the hard drive [09:10] ok [09:13] why doesn't my all desktop have the netbook-launcher-efl ? [09:13] hi there is anybody able to configure TSOCKS? [09:14] hello [09:14] what is the cmd to download through cmd line? [09:14] xerzaz: wget [09:14] xerzaz: wget is 1 option [09:14] thx [09:14] theadmin, my first partition is empty (30GB). I want to use that space so should I change my boot flag to first partition or keep 30GB empty? By default the boot flag was on C drive [09:14] http://i.imgur.com/INoef.png [09:14] wget URL [09:15] hi there is anybody able to configure TSOCKS? [09:15] and how to unpack it in cmd? [09:15] bhavesh: That is not a partition [09:15] it's a tar.gz file [09:15] xerzaz: tar xf whatever.tar.gz [09:15] oki thx [09:15] boot flag should always be at first partition? [09:15] en [09:15] bhavesh: boot flag should be wherever the bootloader is, OR at the Windows partition if you have one [09:15] I wanted to make it a partition.. it is unused [09:16] ok [09:16] bhavesh: The bootflag is irrelevant when you use linux === alvin2 is now known as shadowhate [09:16] ok [09:16] Is it possible to use gnome 2 on the latest version of ubuntu? [09:16] anybody can help about netbook-launcher-efl? [09:16] babilen: Windows won't boot if it's partition has no bootflag, though [09:16] hi there is anybody able to configure TSOCKS? [09:16] I know this will sound crazy but can anyone running Intel Core 9XX or 2600(K) CPU let me ssh into their system for a little while? [09:16] hi i'm having trouble starting Xserver in ubuntu since i upgraded to 11.10, i have an nvidia quadra nvs295 anyone can help me about what can i do to make it work again (i'm a newbie in linux)? [09:16] Mitchell_: No, you can use the Gnome3 fallback, though. Or XFCE ^_^ [09:17] !anyone | shadowhate [09:17] theadmin: Yes, hence the "when you use linux" :) [09:17] shadowhate: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [09:17] Or run a few tests for me. [09:17] ultrav1olet, you're right, it does sound crazy :3 [09:18] not all my desktop has the netbook-launcher-efl interface, and at start i need to xkill and point it to the desktop to reveal the netbook-launcher-efl :( [09:18] theadmin: do i just download the normal version for gnome 3? also, if i wanted to change it i could just install another one right? [09:18] jasef: I have no problems letting anyone on my computer [09:18] is fat32 better than ntfs? [09:18] if it's really necessary [09:18] bhavesh: yes! [09:18] bhavesh: no [09:18] ultrav1olet, lol. I understand that, it's just a rather specific request. [09:18] bhavesh: define better [09:18] bhavesh, depends [09:19] Mitchell_: You can apt-get install gnome-shell to use the traditional GNOME3 interface, gnome-panel to use the old-style gnome2-like one (note that you can not add or remove applets) or xfce4 in order to use XFCE (which is VERY gnome2-like) [09:19] yes its better [09:19] betteR: faster file copying [09:19] asking for better usually smeels like a wrong question ;) [09:19] yes.. [09:19] hi there is anybody able to configure TSOCKS? [09:19] perlzoc, what is TSOCKS [09:19] !info tsocks [09:19] tsocks (source: tsocks): transparent network access through a SOCKS 4 or 5 proxy.

[09:22] perlzoc, again: whats the problem? you just have to set the server(ip), the port and maybe the type... [09:22] CobraKhan007: how can i blacklist noveau driver, from live cd ? (sorry i'm kind of newbie) === Alex`aw is now known as BaNz [09:23] perlzoc, don't you just have to change 'server' to your server IP, and 'server_port' to the port? [09:23] How can I disable the "snap window to fullscreen/halfscreen" function in Ubuntu 11.10? [09:23] perlzoc, looks like some proxies need 'server_type' as well though [09:24] http://pastebin.com/TihWHFe4 [09:24] here is my configuration [09:24] http://pastebin.com/TihWHFe4 [09:24] perlzoc, what's the problem with that?

[09:28] It might be possible to just tell it that the socks address is local, but that might cause weird behaviour, I don't know. === ctcp is now known as ctcpq [09:28] jasef: take a look here http://tsocks.sourceforge.net/faq.php#local === ctcpq is now known as loko [09:28] jasef: i didn't understand what means [09:29] perlzoc, is your paths configured properly? [09:29] phlak_user: what means? do you have experience about Tsocks ? [09:29] You could try settings that to 'local = 31.7.60.5/255.255.255.255' === karel is now known as Guest89410 [09:30] perlzoc, none at all; just learning along with you [09:30] phlak_user: thanks for helping [09:30] perlzoc, if you make the change I suggested, tell me how it works? [09:31] wait [09:31] Ive got a 64 bit cpu and 2gb ram, should i get the 64 bit or 32?

[09:33] <_sivanov> is there any good tutorial how to convert current ubuntu installation to software raid (no fakeraid) [09:34] perlzoc, hold on a moment, I'm trying to see what happens when I use the settings, or does your server need authentication? [09:34] no no no is a free proxy swiss server [09:35] Do you know if it's SOCKS4 or SOCKS5? [09:35] perlzoc, you havent changed any thing inside paths except for the server ip [09:35] phlak_user, that shouldn't matter - paths only takes effect when accessing the specified IP.

[09:36] phlak_user, don't really know. it wasn't explained that I saw [09:36] phlak_user: i have changed also other stuff as my machine IP [09:36] phlak_user: i need tsocks to proxify and applications so it will use a proxy [09:37] perlzoc, ok you will setup tsocks as a proxy server for your applications? [09:38] phlak_user: yes then i will laung tsocks + app name to make it works with that [09:39] perlzoc, funny thing. With my configuration set to your proxy server - I get no errors, but using tsocks on firefox for example doesn't change anything [09:39] It still connects via my main internet connection. [09:39] jasef: can u pastebin your configuration ? [09:41] perlzoc, jasef inspectsocks 31.7.60.5 8080 takes forever [09:41] I'm aware - using tsocks on bash makes my internet simply stop lol.

You would still have to change the IP to a working server though, as the one you provided doesn't seem to work. http://paste.ubuntu.com/727085/ [09:44] phlak_user, is inspectsocks in the repositories?

[10:38] Mitchell_: Just sudi apt-get install audacity [10:38] which command using [10:38] sudi = sudo [10:38] so you dont need kde? [10:38] monkeyDust:hi [10:38] Mitchell_: nope [10:38] rani: if it's in the repos: apt-get install openbravo [10:38] or will it sort it out [10:39] monkeyDust: ok i wil try [10:39] Mitchell_: kde is not required [10:40] milligan: which is supposed to be connected? DFP1 (your LCD flatscreen) or CRT1 (your big cathode ray tube monitor)? [10:40] scotty^, an LCD for sure. [10:41] ok, so can anyone help me figure out what part i need? the lcd on my laptop is only showing half the screen. when i first turn it on, the right side shows white and yellow lines then goes black, the middle of the screen has nothing but white and red [10:41] monkeyDust: output Couldn't find package openbravo [10:41] and for about a year or two i have had red and yellow vertical lines going down the left side [10:41] da screen is done dude [10:41] milligan: So you want to connect two LCD's, but it only recognises one? [10:42] i judt realised i didnt mean audacity. i meant want amarok [10:42] MissingPerson: they even in the bios/post screens? [10:42] rani: it means it is not in the repos [10:42] milligan: Are you sure the ATI card is being used and not your Sandy Bridge graphics? [10:42] dr_willis: yes [10:42] scotty^, pretty sure. Ubuntu suggested to install the fglrx driver etc.. [10:42] MonkeyDust: yes [10:43] MissingPerson: so is the screen useable at all? [10:43] rani, openbravo is something commercial, is what i read here [10:43] dr_willis: no, half the screen shows nothing but black, looks like the pac man kill screen [10:44] milligan: It sounds like you might be one of the lucky people who can switch between the integratged Sandy Bridge graphics and the discrete ATI graphics in your BIOS. AFAIK, using both at the same time is not supported. [10:44] rani: openbravo is the name of a company [10:45] MissingPerson: guven the cost of parts... and the dificulty of fixing the things.. better to invest in a new laptop. [10:45] it is not a program [10:45] Mitchell_: sudo apt-get install amarok , and this will pull down all the required libraries [10:45] don't have the money for a new laptop [10:45] i was thinking of amarok, so really my question is do i need to be using kde for amarok or just have it installed? [10:45] scotty^, wohoo :) Alright, that just confirms my suspicion. I'll go hunting for a proper GFX card. [10:46] i doubt if you have the money for parts then. it may cost more than a new laptop [10:46] Mitchell_: No you can use kde under gnome, but some might not look correct. [10:46] ok [10:47] MissingPerson: How much of the screen is visible if you go into the bios? [10:47] MissingPerson: check on ebay perhaps for a used one. [10:48] milligan: U have an ATI Radeon HD5450, correct? [10:48] I'm in China, cost of shipping even a used one to me now is prohibitive. same amount of the screen is visible, like half or a 3rd === M4rc3l is now known as zz_M4rc3l === BaNz is now known as Alex`aw [10:48] and it's an acer laptop, checked on ebay, and if i could get the screen, it's like $100 [10:49] what the hell are you doing in china?

That's how my shared drives work at my college, and they work fine in Windows, but I can't make it work in linux [10:55] jasef: ask #samba [10:55] Japy, thanks for responding..

Do you want gvim (vim outside of terminal as a gui window)? [11:16] ZeitFight, for command line just vim, more "graphical" version is gvim -> vim-gnome [11:16] Alright [11:16] nano argh [11:17] xD [11:17] editor war in 3..2..1..

[11:20] emacs is rock! ;)) [11:20] make gedit look like TextMate :)) http://blog.sudobits.com/2011/04/02/textmate-for-ubuntu-linux/ [11:21] what are the advantages of emacs compared to gedit ? [11:21] Bakku, well, emacs can make an injury into my fingers :D [11:21] editor choice is totally personal preference, but somehow it is a super emotive subject [11:21] gedit can not do that! [11:22] you can put the discussion about text editors to #ubuntu-offtopic ;) [11:23] or #editorwars :P [11:24] Can anybody help with a fix for https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/869239 [11:24] Launchpad bug 869239 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "webcam screen should be resized for netbooks (Eee PC, 10")" [Low,Confirmed] [11:24] ?

And the install of Ubuntu Server fails randomly every time on different files or stages of the install? Could this be because the version of Server I have is to new for the hardware? :D [11:28] html: i've read about it a while ago but thats all [11:28] I would imagine a p4 3.0ghz(Single Core) 2gb ram would be pretty modern. I also though *nix was generally more apprecititive of older hardware also. [11:28] whats it about and do you have one ? [11:29] ZenMaster: try a check in the memory of the system :) you can do that from the cd boot menu if i'm right, or download the membest86+ iso image :) [11:29] <}[o0]{> upgraded to 11.10. i use the hda intel driver. all appears loaded via lsmod. no sound. no card in the settings dialogs. [11:29] JapyDooge: Thank you for the response. I have tried both memory and cd test. [11:29] nope html but i's a kinda mediaserver/nas for external harddisks (the device) and included mediaserveralike software [11:29] hmm [11:29] Zenmaster: And check the md5sum of your Ubuntu download. [11:29] did you try to test the hdd ZenMaster ? [11:29] Well I am trying 10.04 now. [11:29] anyone know how to fix flash player flickering in full screen mode [11:30] oh also what scotty^ says indeed [11:30] JapyDooge, That is the last thing I have not done yet. [11:30] Might just swap the 200gb for the 500gb. [11:30] JapyDooge, do you thing its worth it ? [11:30] ZenMaster: i've seen the behaviour before, was a fried harddisk then :) [11:30] ZenMaster, well you don't get anything into console?-) [11:30] with google-chrome if I download foo.txt and then foo.txt again it is saved as foo.txt(1). is there a way to configure chrome to overwrite the original foo.txt instead? [11:30] I need this machine to just run one website that is all! I am very framiliar with linux. My operating system of choice is really BSD> :) [11:30] dunno html in the 'modern world' (the device exists for quite some years) almost every normal NAS has a mediaserver function in it :) i wouldnt buy it [11:30] I am using chrome on ubuntu 11.10 [11:31] anyone know how to fix flash player flickering in full screen mode [11:31] Ok, going to try to use the 500gb, see if that makes a difference. [11:31] hehe ZenMaster get freebsd on it? :P [11:31] * JapyDooge runs [11:31] By the way this machine is a HP DFF 530. [11:31] good luck tho :) [11:31] Nah have not tried it yet.

Are you using the open or closed source graphics drivers? [11:33] TheHackOps, you could check flash player options via context menu. But may need to do that on a normal flash application which does not hide this menu. [11:33] use flash ZenMaster xD [11:33] clipartcat: How about I just hold up a jar of weed? :D [11:33] lol [11:33] JapyDooge, well then what do i do ?

[11:38] dr_willis: he is looking for the search option in unity gui [11:38] command prompt, terminal, BASH term, whatever [11:38] TheHackOps: there are some nice performance gains in the open-source drivers for ATI hardware in Natty 11.04 and in Oneiric 11.10. [11:38] G-H0st: alt-f2 terminal is what i normally use.. [11:38] or alt-f2 gnome-terminal then i pin it to the panel [11:38] lovely [11:38] lemme tell how to do it :P [11:39] JapyDooge, i like the idea of what pogoplug so something simular , [11:39] or i click on teh appliations lense amd type in term in the entry box i belive..

[11:39] scotty^, 11.04/11.10 are SOOOO Lagy on my laptop [11:40] Everything was happy with my Ubuntu until I installed an update, now it no longer boots. Any idea what I should do? Can I "repair" an install? I'm on gentoo at the moment and have access to the harddrive used for the broken ubuntu install. [11:40] scotty^, Im rly happy with 10.10 except flash flickers which is anoying [11:40] G-Host - click on the Ubuntu symbol on the top left, then click on the second icon from the left (the one that looks like a bookcase) at the bottom of the window, then search for "terminal". Or hold down Super (the Windows key) and press A, then search for "terminal". [11:40] See if this makesa difference. Also noticed the cdrom was also on master. But I was getting the same results with the cdrom unplugged going off of usb discs. [11:40] not sure html, i use dropbox for most 'cloud' stuff that i allways want to have with me and i have a vps that i can access from everywhere - didnt really think about different ways lol === ellipsis is now known as Ellipsis_ [11:40] ellipsis, Like me [11:40] ellipsis: clarify what it does do.. oftem people say things 'dont boot' meaning very differnt things [11:40] ellipsis_, Like me allways breaks my system when i update [11:42] ^^ I didn't even do anything 0.o [11:42] <}[o0]{> why is an 'upgrade' to pulseaudio forced?

The DB on this site *does* seem to be a ridiculous bottleneck in comparison to another, but at the same time nothing is showing up in the slow query log so I dunno. [11:43] Lol, forgot i never installed any drivers on this laptop. Silly thing to do since its "ubuntu compatible" meaning all the hardware was built with drivers [11:43] JapyDooge, well thats nice , i too have dropbox but i cant pay for it , so is there way i can make a my own cloud? [11:43] html open port on pc for filesharing and leave it running 24/7? :D [11:44] html: My friend was looking into this the other day. Let me find the name of the thing he mentioned [11:44] html: ive seen gpl cloud type servers/apps mentioned on blog sites.. but never tried any. [11:44] JapyDooge, to risky [11:44] maybe something is possible using freenas and plugins html, it's nice :) http://www.freenas.org/ [11:44] html: theres always ssh and sshfs which is all i use. [11:44] When I try to install Evolution, I get: evolution : Depends: evolution-common (= 3.2.0-0ubuntu2) but 2.32.2-0ubuntu7 is to be installed. How can I fix this?

[11:45] TheHackOps: 11.04 and 11.10 will have a laggy desktop if you are using fglrx drivers. There is a fix on the way for that. [11:45] dr_willis, gpl cloud? means? [11:46] html: open sourced cloud server [11:46] dr_willis, i had no sound [11:46] <}[o0]{> hey. your upgrade banged my running system. where is my sound? modules are loaded. what happened?

[11:48] html: dr_willis One thing to keep in mind about SparkleShare, at least last time I checked it, is that it's Git-based, so it may struggle with large/non-text-based files or not be optimal. I think it's under active development though. [11:48] JapyDooge, yes [11:48] ahh [11:48] then some old stuff is left behind [11:48] try 'sudo apt-get remove evolution-*' [11:49] and then 'apt-get install evolution' again === tonsofpc1 is now known as tonsofpcs [11:49] wizonesolutions: never used any of them. :) http://www.tonido.com/ looks interesting however. [11:49] JapyDooge, that won't erase my email, will it? [11:50] for my needs - i just use dropbox, or ubuntu one. or minux [11:50] nope Guest56240 [11:50] for my needs - i just use dropbox, or ubuntu one. or minus [11:50] will leave the users personal stuff intact :) [11:50] <}[o0]{> some other guy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11332877 <<< needs an answer too.

[11:50] but it doesn't work at all [11:50] kints: What do you mean by single mode? [11:51] single user mode i guess [11:51] UbuntOne really needs to be marketed more like Tonido is.. :) they are just letting it sort of languish.. :( [11:51] JapyDooge: yes, command line [11:51] you have to do it in the grub(2) bootloader kints [11:51] server of ubuntu??? his talks english???

[11:51] so while booting [11:51] scotty^: i need a shell to blacklist nouveau and try to install new nvidia drivers [11:52] kints: theres the 'text' option, or i recall some special option to not load a specific module like nouveau, but i cant recall how its syntax is. [11:52] JapyDooge: i can do it from grub directly ? [11:52] afaik yes [11:52] kints: the options 'text nosplash noquiet nofb' should be enough to get you toa console at least. :) [11:52] but i'm not sure what the hotkey is to break out of the grub gui into an edit of the boot command [11:52] :/ [11:52] everything changed with grub2 lol [11:53] JapyDooge: i think it says at the bottom.. e i belive.. [11:53] as an alternative you can try to edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-custom file from a bootable cd/usbstick kints :) [11:53] Has anyone got Gmate to work on Ubuntu 11.10? I can't find any of the plugins when I installed and now it doesn't even start anymore? [11:53] there you can just add 'blacklist nouveau' [11:53] dr_willis, JapyDooge: thanks. i'll try it out.

[11:59] kints: specifically, after pressing any key when the small logo appears at the bottom of your screen, press F4 for modes or F6 for nomodeset and to edit the boot options line which JapyDooge referred to. [11:59] an internet company... [11:59] !info php5 [11:59] php5 (source: php5): server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (metapackage). In component main, is optional.

[12:07] *do [12:07] exit [12:07] hmm. CobraKhan007: ok. i'll try it just like this [12:07] rzec, dotdeb is for debian not ubuntu, that's why. I don't think you'll find a built package of php 5.3.8 for ubuntu yet (and particularly not for lucid) [12:08] reinsen, haven't really done that yet with a wifi stick, but is not something i would worry about :) [12:08] ok thank you [12:08] well that sucks [12:08] rzec, any particular reason you need version 5.3.8 ?

[12:14] rzec, if you want more recent version of the packages, then don't stick with the LTS release (though IMO it's the best choice for a server) [12:14] Perseverence is what wins in the end. :D [12:14] now thats true ZenMaster [12:14] rzec: lol, you download Arch and install it -- it's another distro. Not even closely Ubuntu-related, but it's one of the first that gets all the latest software (e.g.: we had gnome3 on the day it was released :P) [12:14] There is a reason also this rig is called TinCan5. [12:14] 10.04 is far better then unity!! [12:14] but i'm not so zen.. usually :P back in the day i did destroy quite some hardware because i got too heat up at it not working :P [12:14] The first version had like 8 20-40gig hard drives and two PSU's in a old Packad Bell machine. [12:14] theadmin: oh [12:15] Arch linux is nice :) but i wouldnt use it on production systems - but thats a choice [12:15] on production systems i run freebsd nowadays [12:15] Yeah. [12:15] Same here. [12:15] Or Open, or Net pending on what fer. :D [12:16] ffs, lightdm is not beeing able to load "fallback graphic devices" does someone knows where can i see logs? [12:16] yea i like open because of its security stuff, but the package selection is very outdated ^^ [12:16] However, I think I may have to chalk this poor machine up to faulty hardware. I think it is about done. [12:16] poor machine :9 [12:16] :( [12:16] lol, freeBSD... Was unable to install it, sysinstall is *weird* [12:16] thats true [12:16] Last thing I could really do is try the USB on the back of the machine I guess. [12:17] i also take the full version download also, netinstall doesnt work most of the time lol [12:17] lol ZenMaster [12:17] I have two other machines but they are half of the system that this one is.

[12:20] i'm getting "no display devices found for this X screen / screen found but no usable configuration". [12:20] ZenMaster, whats your ram? [12:20] kints hmm, maybe check at nvidia site which driver you need. [12:20] kints, . sudo apt-get install nvidia-current ? [12:21] kints: what's the output of glxinfo|grep render? [12:21] ZenMaster, did u update recently? [12:21] how can I resize /dev/loop0? I have plenty of drive space, but /dev/loop0 is only 29gb [12:22] MonkeyDust : i dont have glxinfo isntalled [12:22] ok [12:22] as far as i know there's a driver for consumer cards and 1 for professional cards(like the Quadtro vid cards. [12:22] CobraKhan007: should i wget the driver ? [12:22] kints, that nvidia-detector command doesn't work [12:22] kints: sudo apt-get install glxinfo; glxinfo|grep renderer [12:22] sry idk, no experience with those [12:23] kints: open /var/log/dmesg in a text editor [12:23] MonkeyDust: unable to locate package [12:23] i've apt-get upgrade / update already [12:24] RaTTuS|BIG, I tried ln -s source_dir dest dir, however it just lists a bunch of files in the two locations. I've never got this to work :/ [12:24] starlon: maybe with the Gparted boot cd :) i use that one a lot [12:24] kints, that command is actually in the meas-utils package [12:24] theadmin, I'll look into it, it just seems very tricky to set up for such a "simple" thing. [12:24] mesa-utils [12:24] hi, i want to ask what to do when linux or unix hangs? or is there a key combination to raise top in terminal to see and kill which processess are hanging? [12:25] glebihan: thanks [12:25] kints have donr the nomodeset line in /etc/default/grub ? [12:25] cabpa, you can try pressing ctl+alt+f1-F10, these are terminals. Press ctl+alt+f7 to get back to normal. [12:25] it dosn't always work though. [12:26] scotty^: what can i see with those logs? i've tried to open another terminal and tail -f the file to see what happens when i startx but nothing goes to that log [12:26] when the computer really freezes the ctl+alt+f trick dosn't always work. [12:26] !nomodeset | kints [12:26] kints: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [12:27] BluesKaj: should i add it ? i've loaded with nomodeset [12:28] BlueKaj: when i loaded i've added nomodeset to the kernel boot options [12:28] RaTTuS|BIG, Sorry, ln does work to link them. However when I link folders I get a link inside the folder to the other, I'd like the all the files to be "in the same place" so as to let programs find the files for either place checking just the one folder. [12:28] thank u ellipsis, so by pressing clt+alt+f1 to F10 will to another terminal. how will you see your processes in your first terminal session [12:28] MonkeyDust: it goes Error: Unable to open display [12:29] thank u ellipsis, so by pressing clt+alt+f1 to F10 will to another terminal. how will you see your processes in your first terminal session/ [12:29] hi everyone, does anybody happen to know how to install kde(kubuntu) via preseed command instead of the standard ubuntu gnome desktop? [12:29] thank u ellipsis, so by pressing clt+alt+f1 to F10 will to another terminal. how will you see your processes in your first terminal session? [12:29] cablop, You just said that 3 times. [12:29] he made two typo's [12:29] xD [12:29] ah ^^ [12:29] kints: There is all sorts of stuff in dmesg, including stuff about graphics. But you seem to be saying that dmesg is not being created. So just give us the basic graphics info for now - to concatenate what a few other folk said - "sudo apt-get install mesa-utils" then "glxinfo |grep render" [12:30] I didn't notice [12:30] kernel boot options kints , how ? [12:30] cablop, You will do ctl+alt+f1 to get a terminal then from their you can log in and kill the process messing stuff up. To return to normal you then press ctl+alt+f7 [12:30] BlueKaj: i've edited grub on the line /boot/linux .... i've added nomodeset and noapic [12:31] wait wait, about what? [12:31] scotty^: yes i've installed it and run glxinfo with grep render and got an error "Unable to open display" [12:31] btw, thanks in advance for all the help [12:31] no, cabpa is nother user ellipsis [12:31] Hi there, how would I see what is currently being downloaded by my machine from a terminal? [12:32] kints, it's gotta be in /etc/default/grub, afiak , then you have to run sudo update-grub to make it stick [12:32] thank you ellipsis, i will try that [12:33] BluesKaj: i just add nomodeset in the eof ? [12:33] BluesKaj, it's also possible to do that at boot time, which seems to be what kints did [12:34] cabpa, I'm not sure how good you are with terminal but I'd like to point out that it's worth writing down or learning how to kill a process before your computer crashes. [12:34] glebihan, it's not the same , but if you think what he did works then fine , I'll leave it alone [12:34] cabpa, do you know how? [12:34] hello [12:35] BluesKaj, it's not the same as it doesn't make it permanent, apart from that it should have the same behavior [12:35] i have just install ubuntu 10.04 on my old macintosh === buttersthepimp is now known as kish [12:35] fine [12:35] Should this be larger? 30G -rwxrwxrwx 2 root root 30G 2011-11-03 07:35 /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk [12:35] my wacom tablet is detected beautifully except for the pressure sensing, how can I diagnose it? Thanks! [12:36] Meaning normally. Something's got me squished into 28gb and my disk is much larger. [12:36] BluesKaj: if i add it in the end of file when i update grub i get an error [12:37] yes ellipsis, i just tried now with ctl+alt+F1. i see all the processes of my first session [12:37] kints: OK, so no drivers are loading at all. Sounds like you need to persist with the "sudo apt-get install nvidia-current" command and get that working. I've also heard that an alternative way is to run jockey in text mode by typing jockey-text at the command prompt, but I've not tried this. [12:37] then ctl+al+F7 to go back to my first session [12:37] kint's it has to be with the qoutes and also removing quiet splash works in some cases too. [12:37] thank you very much ellipsis [12:39] how can i uninstall an installed software through terminal of ubuntu? [12:39] Is there a command that lists all software you installed after fresh install?

[13:28] hhlp: there are very few differences between server/desktop. use dpkg -l and check which of linux-image-server or linux-image-generic is installed. That said, you can easily turn desktop into server by just installing the correct packages [13:28] BluesKaj: not sure I understand. I'm using gparted on the actual laptop...

[13:30] ever [13:30] this one however is placed conveniently next to a 42" screen in the living room as seeing as it's also acting as our file server i thought it'd work as a media center in a pinch [13:30] yeah pc hardwared router always best option [13:30] that's what old pcs are good for [13:30] always about recycling!

[13:42] hello [13:42] ZenMaster, there are things to look for on the motherboard and inside the PSU, as well as the hard drive itself [13:43] zendeavor,,, i'm about done with 11.10 myself,,, my sound doesn't work, often on boot, my mouse is froze, etc [13:43] m477, My humblest apologies. :) [13:43] ZenMaster: ^^ [13:43] i assume you meant ZenMaster and not zendeavor [13:43] I tried almost every version of Ubuntu server tonight. :*( [13:43] Ehehe. [13:43] 1631 [13:44] ZenMaster: windows version anything is not the answer you're looking for [13:44] For instance, right now I booted the machine right off the cdrom. And it has crashed on the first screen. [13:44] Sidewinder1: no problem, however do you know that? [13:44] I might do it again, and it will get to the part were grub installs, but won't install it. [13:44] ZenMaster: anyway, what is it going on [13:44] Short of changing the memory, and motherboard I ahve no idea. [13:45] I can't get a version of Ubuntu server on my machine. [13:45] have you tried a memtest, sorted the power supply? [13:45] you don't want ubuntu server anyway, if you can avoid it :) [13:45] Tried Memtest, Cd Test, HDD TEST. [13:45] Well I'm trying to keep things simple for some other admins. [13:45] And I like to try new things every now and then,. [13:46] i'm biased so i'll keep my mouth shut [13:46] Swapped hard drives out. Really personally if I have to change any more hardware out I might as well put it on another machine. [13:46] I even turned Hyper Threading off. [13:46] m477, If you're on 11.10 or Natty, I can't help very much; 10.04, here.. :-( [13:47] ZenMaster, did you do an md5sum of the image [13:47] Sidewinder1: im on 10.04 [13:47] m477, OK, please state again, exactly what you're trying to do. [13:47] No, but I would assume that straight from the Ubuntu WebSite the files would be ok. [13:48] Sidewinder1: ehh i want to check which window manager im using right now [13:48] phlak_user: Is this to confirm that my files are not corrupt? [13:48] ZenMaster, yes [13:48] ZenMaster: never assume the image is okay [13:48] Sidewinder1: if is it compiz or whatever [13:48] downloads can get corrupted too easily [13:49] m477, Desktop or server? [13:49] If this is true, I will be kicking myself in the ass. [13:49] How do I go about doing this? :D [13:49] Sidewinder1: desktop... [13:50] in fact i downloaded an image of crunchbang for a job i was doing on a netbook and the sha256sum checked out, but when i dd it to the external hdd the hash was wrong there [13:50] ZenMaster: md5sum /path/to/iso [13:50] how is called this side bar on 11.10 [13:51] unity [13:51] ajah: unity [13:51] hi [13:51] zendeavor I am in Windows. :D [13:51] ZenMaster: i'm sorry for your misfortunes [13:51] ZenMaster, and compare it to the one on the website [13:51] !md5 | ZenMaster [13:51] ZenMaster: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [13:51] m477, If you go to System -->Preferences--> Control Center and look under "Look and Feel" you may find a clue there; sorry, I'm certain there's an easier/quicker way, via CLI, but I stink at CLI. :-( [13:51] ZenMaster, the last link says how to md5sum in Windows [13:52] m477, BRB, more coffee.. [13:52] zendeavor: That is a almost E|itest attitude. This install of Windows has brought me lots of pleasure via games, and made me lots of money via recording and video editing. [13:52] But yeah, my misfortune, I guess those things are evil. :D === Mud is now known as Guest90677 [13:53] just read the link you were given [13:53] i'm back to my other channels now [13:53] some "is not in sudoers file" posts advice to boot in recovery mode and run visudo.. but it says read-only file system. Any idea? [13:53] Could I use a live version of ubuntu to safetly resize my harddrive (currently fully used for centos6) and then add a new partition ? [13:53] a process on my server was automatically killed, possibly due to excessive memory usage. is there a log that will confirm why it was killed and when? [13:53] I am reading the link I was given. [13:54] sanity, the most common messages are under /var/log/syslog [13:55] phlak_user: k, i'll check - thanks [13:55] Sidewinder1: i dont see something like Control Center [13:55] sanity, if the process was part of an application, that app might have its own log (eg mysql, apache etc etc) [13:55] phlak_user: nah, it was my own java process [13:56] predat0r, you need to remount the root filesystem as rw [13:56] Anybody have any idea why I can't open GParted on 11.10? I have two 11.10 laptops but 1 can open gparted, 1 cannot. The one that cannot I updated and upgraded everything. Still it won't work. It also doesn't work from terminal either. Any ideas? [13:56] b0ot, yes, but first back all important data up to an external media === fadax_ is now known as fadax [13:57] jason___, if you try running gparted from terminal it might show some messages [13:58] still no sound... i tried the desktop version off a usb real quick with no difference [13:58] phlak_user: what messages are you looking for? [13:58] anyone here good at fixing sound in linux? === Alex`aw is now known as BaNz [13:59] phlak_user: thx, why went to read only mode, some sercurity issue? [13:59] jason___, anything that the program throws up to the stderr [13:59] predat0r, thats the default behavior [13:59] i see [13:59] phlak_user: when I run gksudo gparted, it just never opens, and it returns my prompt. I get no error message. Ia lso get no error message in syslog. [13:59] i have error in scorby setup ... http://pastebin.com/EwtPj0Eq see this error, i use ubuntu 11.10 / also i check debian live disk but i have same problem [14:00] see ya [14:00] m477, Well, it's certainly in my Preferences; perhaps it's a "left-over from my upgrade from Hardy to Lucid; either that or, it was installed automatically when I installed compiz; which might be a clue for you, in and of itself. [14:00] jason___, what happens when you run 'sudo gparted &' ? [14:00] navabi_, you need to ask in #ruby [14:01] phlak_user: [1] 2111 [14:01] thanks phlak_user [14:01] ;?) [14:01] ;) [14:01] jasef: it runs gparted with root rights and the console is not blocked [14:01] Well. Just did the md5sum. [14:01] To no avail. They are the same. [14:01] jasef: if you omit the & at the end, the console is blocked until gparted is closed [14:01] jason___, dont add the & at the end; the idea is to run it in foreground and catch any messages [14:02] I think Ubuntu does not like this hardware. :&*( [14:02] m477, IE: if it was an addon to compiz, perhaps you're not running compiz, sorry to be so cryptic. [14:02] Bed time now good night. [14:02] zagibu, -.- I know what the command does, that's why I said to run it. [14:02] phlak_user: k, got an error. [14:02] jason___, ok [14:02] ah, sorry [14:02] Sidewinder1: i have installed compiz [14:02] phlak_user: /usr/bin/gpartedbin: error while loading shared libraries. libgtkmm-2.4.so.1: cannot open shared object file. no such file or directory [14:02] it was the first line in my chat window :) [14:02] zagibu, lol, okay :P [14:03] zagibu, either way. I'm sleepy, and might go back to bed [14:03] go back to sleep [14:03] m477, Now I really don't understand; if you installed compiz, that's probably what you're running, no? [14:03] jason___, now you know what to do; just install libgtkmm [14:04] !info libgtkmm-2.4-1c2a [14:04] libgtkmm-2.4-1c2a (source: gtkmm2.4): C++ wrappers for GTK+ (shared libraries). In component main, is optional. Version 1:2.24.2-1 (oneiric), package size 996 kB, installed size 3892 kB [14:04] Sidewinder1: i turned it off in tweak ubuntu, but i dont see difference so that's why i want to check it [14:04] phlak_user: shouldnt that be a dependency thats automatically pulled down? === dominus_ is now known as rikut [14:04] jason___, that also shows you prbably just copied gparted over and didnt really install it? [14:04] phlak_user: sudo apt-get install gparted..... [14:04] phlak_user: I also did an apt-get remove --purge gparted and reinstalled it to try and correct it [14:05] m477, Shows you what I know (or actually what I don't), I thought tweak was for 11.04 and 11.10.. [14:05] when i set in ccsm reveal mode of unity on bottom doesn`t work whats wrong [14:05] jason___, curious!, wonder what you would get if you ran a sudo apt-get install on that package libgtkmm [14:06] phlak_user: well, I was going to try that, but it couldnt find it when I typed it in exactly as the error put out. So I searched synaptic for libgtkmm, I'm searching through the files right now. [14:06] phlak_user: I have about 10 packages listed. two are installed. libgtkmm 3.0.1, and 2.4.1c2a [14:06] ajah, you can't move the unity panel. [14:06] phlak_user: I'm not sure what to install... [14:06] When buying a laptop for use with ubuntu, does it matter whether it has nvidia or ati gfx? [14:06] jason___, 2.4-1c2a [14:07] Stava, get nvidia if you can. [14:07] urlin2u, doesnt show at all only when i click windows key it show up on left side [14:07] milligan_, alright, thanks [14:07] Stava: normally not. normally graphics drivers are decent for both companies. I tend to stick with nvidia, though. I have a newer laptop with an ati hd 6250 in it and I had trouble getting hdmi to show to the tv on it, but I'm also on 11.10, where some ati bugs surfaced, so theyre still being fixed. [14:07] Do any of you know how I can access the menus in Chromium? They don't appear at the top of the window like in other apps. I'm running natty with Classic Desktop. [14:07] ajah, there is a trigger point that is controlled in the unity plugin. [14:07] phlak_user: but that's already installed. I'll do a reinstall of it... [14:07] jason___, somethings broken there [14:08] jason_, I've never used ati before, and nvidia has worked without problems, so I'll stick with that [14:08] phlak_user: going to do a reinstall of it. if it doesnt work, I'll purge it and re-add it. [14:08] urlin2u, where to find this [14:08] jason___, ok [14:08] Stava: honestly, that'd be the safest bet. I hate to cut out ATI's legs by not suggesting them because they DO do a good job. but given the choice, nvidia has been a little less headache infatuated in my experience. Not to say ATI isn't a good choice, but they also haven't been 100% perfect either. (then again, what company is?) [14:09] ajah, I have found the unity panel to be as irritating as any other autohide panel you have to tweak it to your liking. The unity-plugin is in the compizconfig manager ccsm [14:09] Stava: I did a recent build for an Ubuntu 11.10 based HTPC, and I went Nvidia. I heavily considered ATI but I'm very happy with my choice. [14:09] jason_, thanks for the input [14:10] phlak_user: thx, i overlooked the answer [14:10] phlak_user: bam. works now. [14:10] Also, I heard that Lenovo is works great with linux, is there any truth to that? [14:10] jason___, ok [14:10] Or perhaps there is a website where I can check compatibility with wireless cards and such [14:10] install-grub alone doesnt recreate the initrds, right? [14:10] !wireless | Stava [14:10] Stava: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [14:10] Stava: yes, traditionally linux has worked very well on lenovos. [14:11] Stava, you can check the HCL for individual bits [14:11] !hcl [14:11] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [14:11] awesome, thanks [14:11] Stava: I've used it on lenovo r61, r500, and at this very moment Im on an x120. all worked well. [14:11] it worked fine on the T30 i had several years ago [14:11] 7.10 i think i ran [14:11] Stava: only company I'd stay away from on ANY platform, including Linux, is broadcom wireless. Broadcom wired ethernet has been okay in my experience, but their wireless is a real fail. [14:11] sig... still no sound [14:11] m477, Poland, huh? Cool. :D [14:11] nothing seems to work [14:11] Stava: but wireless cards are often easily swappable. If you can replace RAM, you can do a wireless card. Just a thought. [14:12] but lenovo has probably taken to using the same parts as everyone else [14:12] hi all [14:12] unless they *promise* linux compatibility, nothing can be said regarding whether it supports it or not [14:12] jason_, Alright, i'll keep that in mind, thanks [14:12] lenovo had a flirtation with having suse on their laptops [14:12] m477, Gotta' love the net/ubuntu/irc. [14:12] the t41's [14:12] but that was a while ago [14:12] i now tried finding my driver on alsa matrix but i can't figure out which driver to use... no sound and been going on at this for 2 days now, anyone here good at alsa?

[14:15] !4.10 | Fleck 2004 [14:15] Fleck 2004: Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog) was the first release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 30, 2006. See !eol for more details.

You just have that iso file mounted in your vbox [14:16] Guest70598, click the top panel of the host mounting the guest additions and run them from the guest [14:16] Guest70598: they are in the repos [14:16] Fleck, You may wish to have a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28operating_system%29 [14:16] Thanks for all your responses [14:17] viliny, cool I know nothing about sound but you have the idea. [14:17] urlin2u, yeah been going at it for a while now, just need someone smarter than me to figure this one out [14:17] I went to devices install guest additions and it should be installed now [14:18] I am just unable to change my screen resolution now [14:18] Guest70598, did you reboot? [14:18] yeah i have rebooted my machine [14:19] do you have to install it in safe mode? [14:19] Guest70598, did you get a terminal that ran the additions and a confirmed install at the end? [14:20] Guest70598, at least for a linux guest, what is the guest OS? [14:20] the guest os is wondows [14:20] night yall [14:20] i think i have finally installed it now thanks :) [14:21] thanks for you help [14:21] you never install any program in safe mode [14:21] Guest70598, little different but did you get a install gui? in windows [14:21] yeah i got a gui install [14:21] compdoc, not true you want 3d in windows it is from safe mode [14:22] urlin2u, nonsense [14:22] Guest70598, please change ur name so we know u out of the 40 some other "guests [14:22] lol ok [14:22] compdoc, yes that what your espousing. :D [14:22] that's* [14:22] when using virtualbox and you want to enable the experimental 3d mode in a windows guest, you need to install the guest additions in windows safe mode indeed [14:22] that's because the drivers are not signed === Guest70598 is now known as AndyUbuntu [14:23] Hi, Im trying to download and Install Ubuntu on my Windows computer with Wubi Installer..

[15:14] hmm okay, that worked (and fast too) but it didn't actually let me do what I had hoped it would. . . :( [15:15] here's my issue: I was playing DwarfFortress in full screen mode [15:15] HUAEI [15:15] last night, I was about to fall asleep and I closed my laptop, thereby making it go to sleep itself. [15:16] Apparently, it locked the screen and then started a login attempt before suspending last night. [15:16] what graphical program can I use to open password protected winzip and winrar files? [15:17] muffinii: file-roller, you should already have it [15:17] as a result, when I tried to login this morning, the unlock window said that time had expired and would not let me sign back in. [15:17] lawl [15:18] Catachan: i have had that happen before, i just tried again later and it let me in === fork is now known as Guest38838 [15:18] Catachan: you should probably file a bug if one does not exist [15:18] after a few seconds, that window disapeared, however it looks like DF still has complete control over my input devices. [15:19] as a result, the unlock screen window will not appear, and my mouse (which is visible and white, as it appears on my desktop) will not move from the center of my screen. [15:20] at the moment, I am actually on IRC using irssi in tty6, and I am hoping someone might have an idea as to how to force control of the keyboard back to gnome or X or whatever needs it to wake the computer up. [15:20] oh, actually, tty5 [15:20] Catachan: killall dwarffortress [15:21] uhm. . . I could, but then I would lose my progress. [15:21] so, I would prefer that to be my last resort [15:21] Catachan: killall gnome-screensaver ? [15:21] hmm [15:21] let me try that [15:21] on the ubuntu-desktop what key combo brings up the termal window [15:22] crtl+alt+t [15:22] wow, that worked. [15:23] Catachan, startx [15:23] Catachan: be aware you screensaver no longer works :P [15:23] <.< >.> uhm, possible security flaw? [15:23] Catachan: only if they are logged in as you or root [15:23] well, the screen saver should be started again when the computer reboots later, yes? [15:23] EgyParadox: x is already started [15:23] Catachan: yes or you can run gnome screensaver yourself [15:24] okay cool [15:24] thanks all [15:24] anyway, I am going to head off now, see you all around perhaps in the future!

[17:34] my router firewall port forwarding section displayes a start port and an end port for a service. However, I would want to define a public port and a private port for a given service to make it possible to forward a custom port from the public interface to the services defualt port on the privade interface, ie for example make HTTPS calls from WAN to custom port 23654 to be directed to HTTPS default service port of 443. [17:34] riffautae, i don't know what is hostname , if i change hostname , what happened ? [17:34] hidensoft: it takes the place of IP addresses, if you have everything configured [17:34] hidensoft: nothing for most people [17:34] Okay, so it says grub> [17:34] hidensoft: if no other computer is configured to contact yours with that hostname, nothing [17:35] on a LAN you could ssh user@host instead of user@ip.ip.ip.ip [17:35] At the top it says GNU Grub version 1.99-12ubuntu5 [17:35] Linds: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [17:35] Linds: your GRUB in your MBR might be confused as to where its config file is [17:35] Linds: ok thats before linux boots at all. look at reisio's link for assistance [17:35] or your config file might be lost [17:36] SilfenX: and your question is? how is ubuntu involved there? [17:36] Okay. Why would it do that out of no where though? I had been using it fine for like two weeks and then all of a sudden it did that. [17:36] SilfenX: most software can be configured to listen on more then one port at a time [17:36] Linds: it wouldn't, you changed something or your hardware has failed [17:36] Linds: or, I guess your filesystem could have failed, too [17:36] riffautae, reisio thanks [17:36] SilfenX: alternativily you can configure your router to forward the external port to a lower internal one [17:36] Linds: but probably you changed something and everything is fine [17:37] I haven't changed anything. And my computer has a new harddrive, it shouldn't of failed. [17:37] Linds: did you change... the harddrive? :p [17:37] That was three months ago. [17:37] okay [17:37] Linds: I'm not accusing you of anything I'm just saing [17:37] I know. :P [17:37] there's no such thing as magic in this regard [17:37] did you run an update? do you have any other os's installed? [17:37] either something has changed, or something has failed [17:37] hopefully it's the former, because the latter costs money [17:38] I have no way to recover using a CD as i'm on a netbook and i don't have a CD drive.

[17:46] faint545: sorry that last link is http://banshee.fm/contribute/file-bugs/ [17:46] google indeed is stupid , === Spacewalker_ is now known as Spacewalker [17:46] PapSmear: firefox has its own pref for that, IIRC, if it's just Firefox's behavior you want to change [17:46] i mean half stupid and half intelligent ,so long as its spider programs are concerned,and those indexing [17:47] for lines to scroll, I mean [17:47] !ot | ralph_ [17:47] ralph_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[17:47] reisio: OK tnx [17:47] can any buddy tell me how to know about the battery cell of my laptop from inside os? [17:48] is there any way to configure sshd such that only users with a certain IP address can log in as a certain user? [17:48] hey man just freaking with google's indexing and its pegion programs ha ha [17:48] bjr [17:48] nothing freaky so far, [17:48] for instance only users on the local LAN can log in as a sudoer, but users can log in as less privlaged users from outside [17:48] him: cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT?/info [17:48] hey anyone got some security related bugs in ubuntu 11.10 [17:49] reisio, is it in about:config? [17:49] hey all... i have a a crontab line '@reboot /path/to/my/task' ... how do I make that run as a specific user? [17:49] iamtony: use users personal crontab or sudo [17:50] kernel panic etc,i need someone to throw some lights on kernel panic in the current version of ubuntu [17:50] iamtony: if you log in as that user and use crontab -e you can edit that users specific cron [17:50] iamtony: system crontab has a "user" field [17:50] llutz: thanks buddy [17:50] Anyone know why a pvresize (shrinking) might fail if you are sure you arent shrinking it too much [17:51] llutz: What's the syntax for adding the 'user' field? [17:51] i'd like to keep it in system crontab [17:51] problem with Thunderbird address books. I recently changed my Windows password, and now whenever I open thunderbird I get the following message:There was a problem opening the address book "Global Address List" - the message returned was: Cannot connect: MapiLogonEx: Failed to login into the server [17:51] b0ot: the file system may not support shrinking [17:52] llutz rocks ,lol ;) [17:52] I get the same error with an address book called "Contacts" [17:52] iamtony: * * * * * user command [17:52] I was able to shrink the filesystem sucessfully before hand [17:52] hey anyone programmer here, [17:52] iamtony: "man 5 crontab" [17:52] hcaley: if you are using exchange for mail your password for email may have changed as well === Spacewalker_ is now known as Spacewalker [17:53] llutz: Yeah I found that, but I don't want to specify the date, just the '@reboot' - ah do I just do '@reboot user command'? I think I'm being stupid :-) [17:53] @riffautae: understood, but I don't see a place to fix this. These seem to be automatically generated address books. [17:53] iamtony: @reboot user command [17:53] iamtony: "man 5 crontab" [17:53] @riffautae: they have no properties to change [17:53] llutz: Yep thanks === Mud is now known as Guest84511 [17:53] is there anyway to use IDM in ubuntu ,i mean i tried it with those emulations to run exe but it fails [17:53] scwizard: I'm pretty sure you can, have a look at "man sshd_config" and "man 5 ssh_config". [17:53] hcaley: thunderbird might be dumb about it and is tring to access your other accoutns when you look at that one [17:53] anyone done it [17:54] ralph_: what is IDM [17:54] Pumpkin-: while I hvaen't read the whole man page, I have had a look [17:54] ctrl+f IP address didn't turn up anything [17:54] ralph_> I installed Windows Xp in VIrtualbox and then installed idm in it..Its working :) [17:54] Hello every body [17:55] @riffautae: I'd assumed that these were some kind of auto feature associated with the Evolution Data Server. Evolution itself has no such problems ;) [17:55] internet download manager ;) [17:56] i tried to run an exe in ubuntu ,via some emulation but it worked with 7zip etc but failed with idm [17:56] anything i need to know about before mounting my root drive read-only to clone it? /home is on it's own drive. only thing i can think of is logs and /tmp [17:56] no no virtual box or vm ware etc need something else [17:56] @ralph_ : have you checked at winehq to see if it is possible to run it? [17:56] ralph_, there's about no chance it's going to work [17:56] I have a quick question -Its about installation of applications in Ubuntu. I heard that creating a new user for each new application is a good way to do, what do you think about that? Is it safe and useful to do that ? [17:56] like cygwin for windows then is there something for ubuntu [17:57] hi, when i run eththool eth0 it says speed 1000 howerver when i copy files over lan, i only have max 15MiB/s. all my network devices are working with gbit whats the problem? [17:57] ralph_, you may want to have a look there however : http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=8202 [17:58] archy: 1000Gib is the max speed, if you have slow or busy hard drives it will be much slower [17:58] !pm > ralph_ [17:58] ralph_, please see my private message [17:59] fellows, there's a way to boot and isntall ubuntu from an iso?i can boot using unetbootin and putting the so in the "/" partitio, but i'm not able to install [17:59] why speed matters do you have to steal million of credentials via some wimax crap [17:59] ;;)) [17:59] @Bastian_b: users are often created for servers that run in the background, such as the apache user for http. I'm not sure I see a purpose in doing it for an "Application", by which I guess you mean something that a user would interact with. [17:59] ralph_: when backing up files 15MB vs 150 is a big deal === Spacewalker_ is now known as Spacewalker [17:59] ralph_: thats 10 minutes virsus two hours [18:00] riffautae: no its the only taks my computer is doing, and i copy from a windows pc to my ubuntu raid5 [18:00] @hcaley: Thank you [18:00] archy: that is pretty slow, are they both connected to the same switch? [18:01] Hi there are there any live streams UDS ? thanks [18:01] lol [18:01] yeah the cluster things i know,lol then y don't you make some file system of your own [18:01] hi, i was looking to partition and reinstall my linux box. i have a 320 gig hdd with 2 primary partitions occupied by dell recovery. now i need partition some space for windows install, say some 10gb. Remaining space would be occupied by ubuntu including home and root partitions. Should i create a primary partition for windows and install linux under extended partition? will tat work? [18:01] ralph_: hm? [18:01] riffautae: no there are 2 switches, both switches are connectec with a cat7 cable, and on both switches there is only 1 pc [18:01] hey sianhulo what you did exactly ,i mean you done all correct so what the hell happened === Shadow__ is now known as ishaan [18:02] hey! I'm sometimes getting 1 cpu and sometimes 8 cpus, Ubuntu Oneiric on Core i7 2670QM [18:02] r3b00tx: yes linux will work in an extended partition unless you have a mac [18:02] By this way ther will be 3 primary partitions and one extended partition comprising linux [18:02] r3b00tx: sorry i missed where you said dell [18:03] What is the UDS ? [18:03] riffautae, i have a dell machine which comes with 2 primary paritions for recovery by default. i dont want to touch this. i was trying to partition the remaining space [18:03] bobweaver, Ubuntu Developer Summit [18:03] !uds > bobweaver [18:03] archy: in that case both pc;s can validly claim 1000 while the two switches communicate via 100 or something. double check that the switches are setup for a Gib Link between each other [18:03] bobweaver, please see my private message [18:04] tha ks cyphase LIVE STEEAMS ??? [18:04] anyone programmer here ,i want to talk to him,PM [18:04] *half the channel PM's ralph_* [18:04] r3b00tx: you can also use lvm and just have 4 primary partitions and then all the linux stuff in the lvm on the 4th primary [18:04] riffautae: yes they are, i copied much faster when on the now linux pc was still windows [18:04] riffautae, so i could add another primary partition for windows and then the extended partition comprising linux mounts. am i right? === yrushi is now known as qwerty [18:04] ralph_, i don't know [18:04] archy: perhaps there is somethiung wrong with the network river on windows [18:04] archy: driver [18:04] well [18:05] nixmaniack: try dmidecode [18:05] r3b00tx: yes that will work === qwerty is now known as Guest73311 [18:05] when i try to install it tells that /cdrom is mounted and cannot be umounted su i cannot install [18:05] sianhulo ,PM me [18:05] ;) === Spacewalker_ is now known as Spacewalker [18:05] him, well what is it? and how to use it? [18:05] riffautae: i didnt change the windows system, all i did is changing on my server from windows to linux, and now its slow, so i doubt it depends on the windows driver [18:05] archy: if you put the linux box on the same switch does it go full speed? how about try hooking another pc to the linux switch to see which computer has the slow down [18:05] there is no sufficient room here ;) [18:05] archy: oh i see, sorry i mis read [18:05] pangolin, Thanks I knew what the summit was I just figured that alot of people would be wanting to watch some of the speeches and what not [18:06] nixmaniack: use terminal as root then type it... what is the bit of ur os 32/64?

[18:18] Hello, I'm on 11.10 AMD64, and I want a 32-bit binary application to be able to load MP3 libraries, and it seems for that to work, they have to be 32-bit. Can I just manually install 32-bit debs of them, or... what would you suggest? [18:18] him, why? is this issue related to kernel? [18:19] hi [18:19] him, it was working fine in 11.04 but after upgrading this issue has started. and I guess it must be kernel related. [18:19] i have a prob here... i've installed Xubuntu, and i'm experiencing some probs with internet connection... i mean mainly from browsers. Tested only on Firefox and Chromium so far.. [18:19] any clues? [18:19] sometimes it's on, sometimes off... i dont't get it [18:20] Xubuntu 11.10 amd64. [18:20] damiano: faulty ethernet cable? [18:20] don't think so.

[18:23] is "Power shell" on windows support linux shell commands? [18:23] alexGlasgow: if its not close enough you could install cygwin [18:23] alexGlasgow: AFAIK if you want Bash, you can install 32-bit GNU apps on Windows. [18:23] Dark_Apostrophe: look for ia32-lib something [18:23] For Real now opne knows where I can find a stream od UDS ??? [18:23] MonkeyDust: Would that include the MP3 decoder libraries?

[18:34] zykotick9: Yeah. My issue was that I couldn't get Songbird (which is not officially supported by developers, but some build 32-bit binaries for Linux) to play MP3s. === jack is now known as Guest56790 [18:35] MonkeyDust, do you know are ia32-libs actually required with multi-arch compatible 11.10? I though multi-arch did away with ia32libs? === jackson is now known as Guest86155 [18:35] Dark_Apostrophe: there are hundreds of MP3 players. Why choose a dead one? [18:35] zykotick9: can't, ia32-lib is just a trick I know of ;) [18:36] Dark_Apostrophe, i miss Songbird (was my favourite, but once they dropped gnu/linux support, i dropped it) [18:36] can't say* [18:36] MonkeyDust, ok, i know that's the old-school way of doing it. [18:38] There is a songbird fork called nightingale [18:38] how to edit panels on Ubuntu Unity? mouse right click doesn`t work :\ [18:39] zykotick9: Well, you can still get it, but in a binary form [18:40] Dark_Apostrophe, no thanks ;) [18:40] alexglasgow: which panel do u wana to edit? if the left sider then it should to work...

I wanna make my upper transparent [18:41] Well, I tried a bunch of music players now on Ubuntu, and I found I don't like a single one (the one I dislike the least was Amarok, but it was poorly integrated into the Unity UI), so I decided to go for Songbird again, which has always been reliable [18:41] <|||||||||> audacious looks real nice and works very well === max__998 is now known as Visionaire [18:41] Dark_Apostrophe: tried deadbeef? [18:41] ActionParsnip: Not heard about it [18:42] But now I got Songbird up and running, so I'm happy. :) [18:42] <|||||||||> ActionParsnip, is that in the repositories? [18:42] Dark_Apostrophe: i suggest you do :-D there is a PPA [18:43] Deadbeef is super light too [18:45] ActionParsnip: know its homepage (if it has one)? I might check out screenshots [18:46] http://deadbeef.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html [18:46] Hi! Is it possible to install pubuntu (or any other linux distro) on an asus windows mobile?

[19:06] yes , nDuff ofcourse I can grep it [19:06] trism: Oh, thanks :D I'll see if I can find it [19:06] thegladiator: apt-cache search [19:06] hi guys im a noob to linux but can work my way around [19:06] Dark_Apostrophe: the panel only shows some icons. You can tweak it to show more [19:06] hi, does anyone know how i can force ncftp to transfer files in binary mode? the man page says it's binary by default, but that doesn't seem to be hte case [19:06] llutz, rpm -qa is listing _installed_ packages, not _available_ packages [19:06] but sometimes the whole system freezes [19:06] llutz, ...so dpkg -l really is the equivalent [19:06] i have an samba service running on my linux box [19:06] its been working fine for weeks [19:07] !ppa | coleix [19:07] coleix: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

[19:09] Dark_Apostrophe: dconf-editor is part of the dconf-tools package, you can use gsettings too, which is installed by default, but you need to: gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist; edit the results and use gsettings set to set the value [19:09] for the first time in years distrowatch has mint almost 3 points near ubuntu ... === adamkiscool_ is now known as adamkiscool [19:09] ive check the configuration file its fine [19:09] I think it has a lot to do with the Unity experiment ?

[19:09] 64 [19:09] trism: Thanks, I'll try :D [19:09] <_numbers> is there a way to keep an ssh tunnel persistent across reboots, and auto-reconnect if down (e.g. remote site reboots)? [19:09] him: 64 [19:10] luical: u new to linux? [19:10] _numbers: ssh can survive short term network disconnects on its own. what in particular are you trying to tunnel? [19:10] should I resize partitions under ubuntu or windows on dual system [19:10] him: i used to have linux a few years ago, but i really forgot many things [19:10] oh this is an english irc channel? [19:10] _numbers: there may be a specific tool for this situation [19:10] Dark_Apostrophe: http://m.zimbio.com/Ubuntu+Linux/articles/p-KINCKegNK/Ubuntu+11+10+Oneiric+Ocelot+Tips+Tweaks [19:11] ActionParsnip: im trying google but no luck.

[19:12] ActionParsnip: wunderlist doesnt show as a package apparently. [19:14] does anyone know of a program that will let me use 2 or more generic webcams to send images to an FTP server or something like that I know about zoneminder but I think it may be a little more complaex than I need im trying to set up motion catpure for a securty system and I have to do it on the cheap so webcams rather than CCTV cameras [19:15] the .tgz have a couple of that i think work as installer but it wont do anything when opening with mouse, and gives an error when doing it through terminal [19:15] Dark_Apostrophe: it needs to be a list, so you either need to see what the values already are (using gsettings get), then copy that list and append pidgin to the end, it will look something like this: ['JavaEmbeddedFrame', 'Mumble', 'Wine', 'Skype', 'hp-systray', 'Pidgin', 'update-notifier'] [19:15] coleix: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/10/wunderlist-ubuntu-software-centre/ [19:15] Dark_Apostrophe: or you could use ['all'] and nothing will be blocked [19:16] right thanks [19:16] ActionParsnip: It doesnt apperar on ubuntu oneiric [19:17] _numbers: you could put you ssh tunnel in init tab like this guy did http://www.deer-run.com/~hal/sysadmin/SSH-SyslogNG.html [19:17] coleix: its a paid for app, so may be elsewhere. That post is less than a month old. Try reading the WHOLE page [19:18] <_numbers> riffautae: looking at autossh http://www.debianadmin.com/autossh-automatically-restart-ssh-sessions-and-tunnels.html [19:18] <_numbers> and this init script https://gist.github.com/1337499 [19:18] trism: Ok, and then log out and log in again? [19:19] ActionParsnip: afternoon. FIxed my window size issue by making a new user account and just moving my important stuff over... [19:19] is this the appropriate channel to ask ubuntu-server questions? [19:19] Dark_Apostrophe: yes [19:19] coleix: its free to download but you need to go through.the pay process to get it. Is what it says right there on the page.... [19:19] trism: Thanks :D I'll do it a bit later since I got some stuff I don't want to close right now [19:20] myk_robinson: its one way I guess :-) [19:20] ActionParsnip: I wish I could have figured out how to properly fix it. Other users with the same issue.. But after this long, I just wanted results.. Made the user account to test, and found that the problem didn't occur in the new one.. [19:21] _numbers: that looks pretty good actually [19:21] ActionParsnip: But is not available in oneiric, there is a linux download on their home page and the file is a .tgz and i though would work, maybe i was wrong? === owner is now known as KhalifaMan [19:22] myk_robinson: you could have renamed or deleted the gnome config folders and rebooted to get vanilla settings there. [19:22] ActionParsnip: trying to share my Music directory from the new account, I get this error 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: failed to add share music. Error was Operation not permitted Ideas? [19:22] ActionParsnip: Dang... That is what I had been trying to find out was how to in effect reset the account.. [19:23] coleix: the file will have install instructions inside [19:23] hey guys [19:23] i'm trying to get vsftpd running on ubuntu [19:23] i do sudo apt-get install vsftpd [19:23] haven't attempted this yet, but I have 2 hard drives, 1 80GB, 1 1TB. I'd like to use the TB drive for data storage ( app and mysql db ). Will it be easy to install Ubuntu Server on the 80GB and use the 1TB for data? [19:23] I am either not here or distracted by my Java codes [19:24] it has an executable but it gives me an error on terminal [19:24] I'am then able to connect locally but if i try to ftp into my computer from outside .. it fails to connect [19:24] tash: by two hard drives, do you mean two computers with hdd of that size? [19:24] I beleive it could be firewall problem... what are some firewalls that are running on ubuntu [19:24] help [19:24] riffautae: I mean twe separate hard disks ... 1 computer, 2 disks [19:24] two* [19:25] myk_robinson: run: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER and make a credential. You can now connect as your username with the password you set. [19:25] tash: if you just want to be able to access the 1tb drive from the os installed on the first one you can partition it and then mount it in /space or something and make it so your user can write to it, no server needed [19:26] tash: if you want to be able to share all the data accross the network and install ubuntu on the 80gb drive ubuntu server would work for that. look into samba and ssh [19:26] or could it be some vsftpd config problem? [19:26] riffautae: I mean, I am going to install the Ubuntu Server edition on a server computer. I was wondering if the setup will walk me through partitioning [19:26] tash: yes [19:26] I want the first hard drive to have the OS, and I want the second hard drive to be accessible from the OS [19:26] ActionParsnip: just out of curiosity, why on earth would anyone have guess at that to be able to share? I assume this isnt necessary with the first user... [19:26] sileni: "sudo lsof -i :21" does vsftpd listen on localhost only or all ifaces? [19:26] and yeah, could mount it in something like /data or something [19:27] tash: tell it to install to the first drive and then set up the other one separate [19:27] riffautae: do you know which option I should choose when I get to the partioning section of setup? [19:27] llutz: doesn't seem to return anything when i run that command [19:27] myk_robinson: what OS is the client? [19:27] llutz: wait curlftps seems to come when i run that command [19:27] riffaute: setup the other one separate later? like after the OS is installed? [19:27] ActionParsnip: let me clarify, I am trying to setup a share within Ubuntu and getting the error. Screenshot coming, this should help [19:28] tash: yea, if nothing jumps out at you during the install its pretty easy to partition and mount the other one later [19:28] yeah, that makes sense [19:28] ActionParsnip: i tried ./Wunderlist wich is the executable but it has a problem with libcurl.so.4 and another executable in /Wunderlist/installer gives me the same error [19:28] ActionParsnip: here ya go, and thanks again for answering http://img7.imagebanana.com/img/jx2ar3z3/FolderSharing_001.png [19:28] myk_robinson: im about to hit work. Plus my web speed is dog slow [19:28] riffautae: fdisk -l, right? [19:28] llutz: is that the problem? curlftps is listening where vsftpd should be? [19:29] ActionParsnip: have fun at work. What do you do, by the way? I figured you were a dev or something.. Always knowledgable [19:29] sileni, Windows computers want passive ftp which wants some ports in the 1024 range opened too. So check out that also or try an active ftp client [19:29] riffautae: this looks like a good guide for me to follow http://www.ghacks.net/2009/09/10/add-a-second-drive-to-your-ubuntu-server/ what do you think? [19:29] sileni: you cannot have 2 services listening on one port at the same time [19:29] curlftpfs 4490 root 4u IPv4 2790290 0t0 TCP 10.52.79.10:47388->10.52.65.35:ftp (CLOSE_WAIT) curlftpfs 4490 root 6u IPv4 3445260 0t0 TCP 10.52.79.10:38792->10.52.65.35:ftp (CLOSE_WAIT) [19:29] that is the output of that lsof [19:29] myk_robinson: noc engineer [19:29] it is in closewait mode so that should not be problem [19:29] hey, I upgraded to oneiric and since then my keyboard is not working after logging in via lightdm. any idea what could cause this? [19:29] sileni: thats client connection to ftp [19:30] sileni: your vsftpd doesn't run at all [19:30] Need some help with a sharing problem in 11.10 Screenshot here: http://img7.imagebanana.com/img/jx2ar3z3/FolderSharing_001.png [19:30] hi guys and gals, can someone help me setting up lvm on lucid for a whole disc encryption? [19:30] anyone else can help me out with wunderlist for oneiric? "it gives me an error error while loading shared libraries: libcurl.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" [19:31] Hello Guys [19:31] tash: that would be reasonable, however instead of chmod -R 777 you could chown :users /data then chmod -R g+s /data to be a little more secure === Mkaysi_ is now known as Mkaysi [19:31] llutz: sorry forgot to bring it back up [19:31] llutz: vsftpd 24977 root 3u IPv4 3513256 0t0 TCP *:ftp (LISTEN) [19:31] so it is listing [19:32] sileni: sudo iptables -vL [19:32] llutz: listening* [19:32] tash: this would make it so anyone in the 'users' group can write to the dir and anything they add will be modifiable by anyone in the group automaticly [19:32] llutz: what should i look for ? [19:32] sileni: rules affecting ftp [19:32] tash: but protect them from any system processes like apache [19:32] hi guys and gals, can someone help me setting up lvm on lucid for a whole disc encryption? [19:33] sileni: are you behind a router? you need portforwarding if you want to connect from outside then [19:33] tash: also you might use ext4 instead of ext3, but any file system will work [19:33] tash: these settings are what i use on my personal file server [19:34] llutz: http://pastebin.com/qHU8yz8K [19:34] does anyone know why gedit saves my file, along with a file with the same name and appending a ~ to the end [19:34] riffautae: just curious, why ext4 as opposed to ext3 [19:34] tash: it is a newer file system with more features [19:35] tash: also in the comments on that page someone reccommends using UUID, you might look into that [19:36] llutz: not behind router... [19:36] llutz: the other computer is on the same network [19:36] sileni: checked logs? [19:36] llutz: of? [19:37] when I was using 11.04, I could ctrl-alt-numpad to resize windows and arrange them on the screen. with 11.10 I can't repeatedly type the keycombo to use different sizes.. anyone know what's up with that? [19:37] sileni: /var/log/vsftpd.log [19:37] so my mouse clicks are not making it through the 2d gui. [19:38] llutz: log doesn't show anything [19:38] i can move through with the keyboard, hit enter, tab...but 11.10? sound issues, mousepad issues, the same old intel hardware issues, the same network manager issues... [19:38] crack some heads. [19:38] llutz: on the other computer, it keeps saying host rejected the connection [19:40] <{reko}> hi too all y have a big probrem with my server ipcop is not worling the VPN outside from network but inside is working [19:41] ctrl+alt+numpad doesn't do nearly as much in 11.10 as it did in 11.04 -- am I missing something? [19:41] w0_: i've noticed it too, don't know why tho. could be unity. [19:41] <{reko}> don't want to help me :( [19:41] {reko}: plz pvt me, i got dc [19:41] riffautae: thanks [19:43] geomaster: I dono why they would ruin such a nice feature!! =| [19:43] llutz: any other ideas :(? [19:44] w0_: they ruined so much nice features that i'm now downloading fedora with kde... i feel sorry for ubuntu which i have been using for a long time but what the hell. they really effed it up. [19:44] sileni: aynthing in /etc/hosts.[allow|deny]? [19:44] llutz: no :\ [19:45] geomaster: i know it, eh? tho I have to admit, unity is kinda refreshing compared to kde and gnome [19:47] Unity works like hell on ubuntu 11.10 , what can i do? [19:47] ezeql: you can install gnome 3 (sudo apt-get install gnome-shell), but I can't decide which of the two is worse. [19:47] eaeql: can't get the different placement-widths when using ctrl-alt-numpad .. hope that makes sense [19:47] ezeql: can't get the different placement-widths when using ctrl-alt-numpad .. hope that makes sense [19:48] w0_: unity would have been a great thing if it didn't have so many bugs. [19:48] is ther ea while to scan the contents of all files on a server for a specific term [19:48] ? [19:48] so far, this is the only bug that really affects how I use my computer.. [19:48] The background image doesn't seem to work for Terminal anymore... it used to [19:49] course I oupgraded only two days ago. ahahah [19:49] I just upgraded to 10.04 [19:49] hey, I just deleted some huge log files to clear some space, but df i still reporting 100% disk usage. How can I get it to refresh? [19:49] what does 'repro' mean? -- found it on a bug reporting site. [19:49] and the terminal background image I had set is gone and in the profile for terminal if I set it, it has no effect [19:49] w0_, maybe "reproduced"? [19:49] they could reproduce the bug?

[19:51] themoebius: this might sound stupid, but if you used nautilus to delete them, did you clean the trash? [19:51] if only I were a super hacker I would fix it [19:52] geomaster: I'm running ubuntu server so everything is by command line - I just used rm [19:52] w0_, if they are saying they couldn't reproduce it, that means they aren't denying it's a bug, they are denying it happens at all [19:52] or they can't figure out how to make it happen on their machine [19:52] well they're saying that CAN reproduce it .. here's the link I found: [19:52] hmm [19:52] themoebius: hmm, no idea then. how big were the logfiles?

[20:03] gdiazc, yeah, but the whole thing having a debian repo is a super bad idea [20:03] ActionParsnip: it says "*** System restart required ***" but the top right shutdown button isnt red [20:03] gdiazc, because it will mix packages [20:03] ActionParsnip: got a quick command to list all shares? I need to terminate that other one, but the user no longer exists.. I guess I could just remove the old directory, and the share should die with it? [20:03] anyone knows how to fix my SUPER+W key combo? [20:03] crazydip: Or, can I remove the debian repo without messing up all the packages that have been installed with the debian repo? [20:03] bindi: that just looks for the file, you can add the check to the script and reboot if it is needed [20:04] crazydip: I can imagine.. but I recently started working on this machine and I didn't add that repo myself../ [20:04] ActionParsnip: I mean shouldn't I see a red button in ubuntu 11.10 when a restart is required? [20:04] gdiazc, go to /etc/apt/sources.list and comment out debian repo if they exist, then go to /etc/apt/sources.d and find if there are any debian repos there [20:04] I use Ubuntu 11.10. Today after updates, my nautilus can not search any folder from "network shared folders". When i try with gksudo nautilus it gives this error when i click to network folders: "Nautilus cannot handle "network" locations." . Can someone help me please? Thank you! [20:04] anyone? my super+w isnt working [20:05] ActionParsnip: the file is there right now and inside it is "*** System restart required ***". I don't see it on the shutdown menu though [20:05] crazydip: Ok, but packages downloaded from debian will remain or will they be erased? [20:05] gdiazc, your playing with fire right now... if you already have debian packages installed you have a big problem, BUT so long as your system works right now it'll probably be ok [20:06] gdiazc, debian packages will remain - you just wont have access to new ones [20:06] anyone willing to help? pls msg me [20:06] crazydip: ok great..

[20:55] i think it is gconf-editor [20:55] was hoping I could just get the resolver to do it for me [20:55] ahh well, if it doesn't, it doesn't [20:55] whta app can i use to edit pdf in ubuntu?

[21:32] guntbert, auto-complete mislead me :P [21:33] hi all, what's the key combo to get a startup menu? [21:33] the latest version and the current version for ubuntu 10.04 are crashing here [21:33] i want to start in vga mode [21:34] paul_uk, what do you mean vga mode [21:35] In 11.10 how do you get to the windows preferences? Is there a pkg I need to install to get the windows packages? [21:35] escott: i have a fresh install of 11.10. I chose to run with nvidia drivers, now I get a blank screen on startup. I want to be able to update files and choose another nvidia option. [21:35] paul_uk: press while booting [21:35] guntbert: cool will try thanks [21:35] i installed xfce and few other packages , i need to remove them [21:35] windows prefs* [21:35] is it possible [21:36] paul_uk: press CTRL+ALT+F1 and you can run: less /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see what is going on [21:36] i dont want any of the packages coming with XFCE [21:36] what are the exe files dressed up as video rars tryin to do? [21:36] paul_uk: you may need to run: sudo nvidia-xconfig then reboot to make it work [21:36] clamtk seems to like em [21:37] ActionParsnip: ok will try thanks [21:37] cindy_: exe? they won't do anything in linux [21:37] i wonder what they do to a windows machine [21:37] I gave sudo apt-get remove but I think need to do more [21:38] I'm missing the windows preferences from the system settings menu; is there anything I need to do to get it there? [21:38] cindy_: thats certainly off topic here [21:40] cindy_: its probably a virus [21:41] Hello! How can I mount a cd from the command line? [21:41] kyan: mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom [21:41] kyan, mount /dev/dvd /media/dvd (perhaps /dev/cdrw /dev/cdrom) [21:41] pozican: you beat me to it......argh [21:41] escott, pozican: thanks! :-) [21:42] ActionParsnip: CTRL+ALT+F1 doesn't seem to do anything, any other key combo? [21:42] kyan: escott's is probably best, ubuntu seems to use /media instead of /mnt [21:42] shouldn't the bot automagically answer common questions such as, how to mount a cdrom on the CLI [21:42] paul_uk: try ESC when the boot splash loads, you'll see the boot messages [21:42] dtigue: the bot is not auto - you have to trigger it [21:42] dtigue: no, she must be triggered [21:42] !cli | dtigue [21:42] dtigue: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[21:45] ikonia: i will refrain but only because you asked so kindly [21:45] Documentation on it is too fresh for google to come up with decent results for me. [21:45] Chamunks: fix for what? [21:45] escott: do i add nomodeset to the last line? because whatever I do, I keep on getting this blank screen! [21:46] why in /media my sdb has an id and not a label? how can i change that? [21:46] !label | whallz [21:46] whallz: To rename the labels of your partitions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive.

And I need fglrx [21:48] ActionParsnip, I'll find a link with a good screenshot of the problem. [21:48] ActionParsnip: the recovery menu is frozen, it doesn't allow me to make any choices [21:48] hello guys [21:49] does anyone know external hard drives that will work with linux, i mean right away? [21:50] dumbnewbie: all of them should. and if they dont its super easy to partition it [21:50] ActionParsnip, http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11339681&postcount=3 Related screenshots to the issue. [21:50] every external hd ive ever had - has worked with linux.. right away.... [21:51] bbl [21:51] I have a question for any experienced Sysadmins here. When making a LDAP+Kerberos+Samaba PDC which should first be set up? And is it required to have an internal DNS server? [21:51] escott: nomodeset doesn't do anything. I keep on getting just a blankscreen on startup [21:51] Has no one else had this problem installing gnome-shell? [21:51] Chamunks: same in all DEs? [21:52] paul_uk: not a good sign, have you tested your RAM? [21:52] ActionParsnip: I was just running with XFCE using experimental drivers [21:53] ActionParsnip, no unity works fine but Gnome-shell supports screencasting native and I get unbarable graphics performance without fglrx [21:53] ActionParsnip: it's not my ram, it's the Nvidia drivers :\ [21:53] ActionParsnip, also I have dual monitors and video cards and I cannot enable my second monitor using the default driver as Xorg.conf has never Ever worked well for me. [21:53] is it CTRL+x to save amendments in grub ? [21:54] paul_uk: in the recovery menu there isn't even an X server running so the nvidia drivers aren't loaded. [21:55] hmm, I had this very same problem with 11.04 which forced me to use XFCE and I don't like it. So that;s why im trying 11.10. Ok, I'm gonna do an install, then upgrade drivers and see where I'm at. [21:55] paul_uk: if you are editting in nano then you can save and exit with CTRL+X, Y, ENTER [21:55] *re-install [21:55] ActionParsnip: problem is, I get zip, nada, nothing and system is unresponsive [21:56] paul_uk: which nvidia gpu do you have? [21:56] paul_uk: and is it one of those hybrid monstrosities? [21:56] ActionParsnip: GTS 450 [21:56] ActionParsnip, any ideas, I hate to poke as you're obviously in the middle of a few conversations. [21:56] paul_uk: you may need the xorg edgers updates PPA for that [21:57] paul_uk: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [21:57] Chamunks: not sure. I don't use ATi stuff [21:58] So, I'm on my command prompt. [21:58] ActionParsnip: ok will do [21:59] Way deep down in some subdirectly. And there's a file here that I want to open. I just want to double-click on it. But I'm in my command prompt.... [21:59] Is there an easier way than to launch the home folder app, click forty times to get to the directory, then double-click the blasted icon? [22:00] Anyone here had any luck with setting up the ATI driver with Gnome shell yet or have they still not released the fix? [22:00] wad: make a launcher that runs nautilus /home/kyan [22:00] ActionParsnip, thanks anyways. I wonder if there are any other distros of linux that will solve this issue. [22:00] wad: you can run: nautilus and see your home folder in the file browser [22:00] But I don't want my home folder. [22:00] Like I said, I'm forty directories deep. [22:00] Chamunks: there are plenty to go at, have a try of a few [22:01] !info alacarte | wad [22:01] i went into sshd_config and set enablerootlogin to no [22:01] when writing a bash script, how can i make a place that i can go back to in my script? say i asked a question, they answered, and i want it to ask it again.

Version 0.13.2-2ubuntu3 (oneiric), package size 52 kB, installed size 348 kB [22:01] then restarted sshd, but i can still login as root... why? [22:01] wad: you can make a symlink to the directory in your home fodler [22:01] *folder [22:01] But I'm jumping all over the place on my command line. [22:01] *sigh* I guess this just doesn't work. [22:01] dannnnn, do you mean you can sudo after logging in as your user [22:02] Maybe I'll write something, an app called "doubleclick", where I specify the filename. And it simulates having double-clicked it from X. [22:02] wad: if you make a symlink, you can open the link and jump straight to the location [22:02] ActionParsnip, :) well I just need something to not break today to bring up my spirits a bit. [22:02] wad: why would you have to write anything..? [22:02] Okay, you're in this directory: [22:02] anyone using evoluent mouse ? [22:02] Has anyone ever set up a ubuntu server? [22:03] wad: what is the full directory path and I'll give a command to make a link [22:03] <_spt_> screenLog : yes [22:03] /home/ActionParsnip/Docuemnts/dsfg45/df3434/6534/234/fds/5.34/f43/gfgh4/323/fdgff/t4 and you want to view the file blah.pdf. What do you do? Open your home folder, and browse down into that directory, click at a time, among thousands of others? [22:03] _spt_: how do I set up the DNS settings [22:03] ln -s makes symbolic links, I don't see how that helps. I don't want to persist a link. Just open my document. [22:04] <_spt_> I let the router do that [22:04] wad: run: ln -s ~/Docuemnts/dsfg45/df3434/6534/234/fds/5.34/f43/gfgh4/323/fdgff/t4 ~/t4 [22:04] I don't want to alter the filesystem. [22:04] And when you're done, you have to rm ~//Docuemnts/dsfg45/df3434/6534/234/fds/5.34/f43/gfgh4/323/fdgff/t4 [22:04] wad: now when you doble click the 't4' folder in $HOME you will go straight to the folder [22:04] _spt_: ahh, I can't im doing it for work and can't figure out how to get it on our network === travis is now known as Guest81825 [22:04] Either that, or spam your filesystem with symbolic links [22:04] between version 9 and 10 did Ubuntu put the X_[] buttons to close a window on the left side instead of the right side? [22:04] wad: no need to remove it if you don't want. You can keep it for later [22:04] I guess you just delete the symbolic link from your home folder. [22:04] it seems different [22:05] causative: it's changable [22:05] But I don't want to keep a big pile of symbolic links, and I don't want to have to delete them. I don't need a symbolic link, I just want to launch the application that consumes this file type, just like the doubleclick action. [22:05] join #dokuwiki [22:06] What is the plugin/command called for single clicking a launcher shortcut and it shows all the open windows associated with it? [22:06] ActionParsnip, but thanks for your suggestion anyway. ;) I'm just annoyed. Been doing this all day long. [22:06] wad, then start that application for pdfs its called evince also known as the document viewer === evaldo is now known as Guest49952 [22:06] escott, but when I double-click something, I don't know what the application is called that launches. Why do I have to know it when I'm on the command prompt? [22:07] wad, for the command line you don't there is a mime type helper command line util [22:07] How does X know what it is? Can't I call a command to simulate the double-click action? [22:07] Ah! [22:07] wad, mimeopen i think [22:07] ah!! [22:08] That's it! [22:08] mimeopen does EXACTLY what I need! Thanks so much!

I booted a live USB stick, opened Ubiquity and ran "upgrade". It went fine, apparently, but now, my touchpad is not detected and no wireless connections are found at all! What can I do, short of a wipe-all-and-reinstall? [22:44] kirk_: use 2 commands. one being "sleep 60 && killall tcpdump" [22:44] heoyea: can i do this from a live cd with gparted?, sry dumb question. and do you think it will work on plug-in afterwards? [22:44] kirk_: or similer [22:44] exthd: yes u can [22:45] Anybody Known if Ubuntu training will be available in western Canada any time soon? [22:45] dr_willis: oh good idea, ty [22:45] exthd: yes it will work [22:45] kirk_, man tcpdump | egrep -C3 -- "(-G|-W)" [22:45] exthd: siunds to me like the hd may be flakey [22:45] kirk_: check -G on man tcpdump [22:45] hey gents having trouble setting a profile in thunderbird with 11.10, get no access to file [22:45] Is there a log that I can check that would indicate why dhclient is grabbing an IP but I can't ping? [22:45] yoshi9099, "rixter__: I don't have a display hooked up to the box at present. What command can I run on CLI with an exported X display?" I honestly don't remember. === muellisoft is now known as Muelli [22:46] rixter__: like vncserver? [22:46] rixter__: I just opened up xfce4_panel and opened networking from in there, but there doesn't look like there is much in there. [22:46] heoyea. plug in and work right away? [22:46] how can i make a bash script return to a certain point in my script? [22:46] aaronh5, goto [22:46] dr_willis: what is flakey? [22:46] exthd: your hd. [22:46] dr_willis, no there is a way to make X display over the network (I used to do it) but I don't remember. [22:46] hello..in 11.10 how are people connecting to Google calendar? [22:47] rixter__: xdmcp or ssh x forwarding [22:47] dr_willis: I'm using ssh x forwarding [22:47] dr_willis, yeah xdmcp was what I used, I am not needing it, but yoshi was asking about it. [22:47] exthd: yes it should, if not u can use pySDM app [22:47] somsip: ty, i missed this option. [22:48] dr_willis: for i am a foreigner i didnt know what flakey means [22:48] kirk_: and escott rightly says to combine this with -W [22:48] yoshi9099, I honestly don't know why the network must be restarted before it starts up correctly. [22:48] :-/I guess nobody knows ? [22:48] exthd: windows key aka superkey [22:48] all 3 ways can work. depends on your needs. [22:48] heoyea what is pySDM app [22:48] Okay I'll bump it. Ubuntu doesn't detect my trackpad. When running from live USB, no problem. When runing in Windows, no problem. What can be wrong? [22:48] Me neither. Is there a way to find out? [22:48] exthd: your hd is broken. try a different one [22:48] exthd: it lets u mount HD, u can set it up to mount auto it u like [22:49] dr_willis, it was new [22:49] yoshi9099, have you checked the system logs to see if its erroring on startup? [22:49] exthd: so? new can be broken === robert_ is now known as Guest49334 [22:50] bbl [22:50] syslog shows nothing useful. dhclient requests an IP and one is given. [22:50] heoya i have to remeber that name, i hope i can install that on a live cd session [22:50] is this the ubuntu help channel? [22:50] Guest49334: yes [22:50] how can determine if a specific program was installed using a repository or downloaded and installed manually? [22:50] Guest49334: how can we help you [22:50] what application is best to connect to Google Calendar? [22:51] Guest49334, you should check with #gentoo for help for your ubuntu distro ;) [22:51] anyone with dynamips opened ine topology right now ? i need help with dynamips [22:51] escott: I tried it with a GPT partition with hybrid MBR (http://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/hybrid.html), but mondorestore is still treating it as a GPT partition. [22:51] exthd: yea u can install it if u like from livecd [22:51] rixter__: please dont spread disinformation in this channel, even jokingly. [22:51] can someone help me please, i was running ubuntu off my external hd cause my sata was down, the board was toast. well i replaced the board, now i got my hd and dvdrom back on sata, and i was hooking up the external to get info off it, but it dosent show under my computer as a drive or letter. under disk management its there? how i get it to show under my computer to access it to get info off [22:51] it. [22:51] SilfenX: try dpkg --get-selections [22:51] hello, pls I am trying to turn php_safe mode off, in /etc/php5/apache2 it shows safe_mode is off, but in http://www.berylhost.com/estates/info.php I am seeing safe_mode being on, where else can I check ? [22:51] can I add accounts other than google to the online accounts? [22:51] escott, how do i use goto? [22:52] windparadise: did you /etc/init.d/httpd graceful? [22:52] EvilResistance, the ;) was there, letting him know I was kidding, but I will refrain from doing that again ;) [22:52] kyan, because mondorestore intends to restore the partition table, but doesnt know how. mondo is trying to do TOO much. [22:52] How can I make Ubuntu see my trackpad? [22:52] windparadise: php -i will show you your config from php.ini NOT the config that running... IE restart / graceful after changes [22:52] windparadise, did you restart apache after modifying the configuration ? [22:52] can someone please answer my question regarding training in Canada or point me in the right direction? === mau is now known as Guest52734 [22:52] how can I stop all the messages about upgrading to 11.10 perminantly system-wide? This machine is used by at least two kids and if they should click on that it could fundamentally break the system [22:52] kyan, if !clone doesnt work for you (and I would strongly encourage cloning and then diffing your /etc) you can see if mondo has a switch to only restore the partiton but not the partition table [22:52] I'm missing the windows preferences from the system settings menu; is there anything I need to do to get it there? [22:52] escott: Hmm. It is suggesting overwriting my current partition layout with a new one (which I do NOT want to do!). [22:53] thoeger, on the liveusb, have you done lsmod and seen what modules are loading, maybe there is a switch they are using... dmesg | grep trackpad or dmesg | grep ps2 may give you something useful. [22:53] does anyone know of any options other than nomodeset? At this point I want anything to try and troubleshoot my linux install [22:53] heoya, thanks for your help, i think ill buy a western digital one and try that. [22:53] I had already turned off updates entirely which I didnt want to do, I just dont want to upgrade from 11.04 because I use gnome on here and gnome is horribly broken in 11.10 [22:53] pozican: I get a long list of applications - of all only 2 says deinstall while all others say install in the right column [22:53] yet the messages about upgrading to 11.10 still come up [22:53] escott: Ah hmm, it's discussed here: http://www.mondorescue.org/docs/mondorescue-howto.html#AEN951 [22:53] paul_uk, what is the issue you are having? [22:53] glebihan: in fact, safe mode is turned off lonng ago, I didn't do any setting [22:53] heoya, is that in pySDM in the lucisd repos? [22:54] rixter__: I have enabled nvidia drivers and now when my system boots, I just get a blank screen and the monitor shuts off [22:54] O.K Goodbye See all another time. [22:54] exthd: yea it should be, is been there from 8.04 [22:54] heoyea, is that in pySDM in the lucisd repos? do you think a western digital will be a solution? [22:54] how are people connecting to Google Calendar in 11.10? [22:54] paul_uk, can you ctrl-alt-f1 or is the kernel even booting? [22:54] rixter__: nope can't do ctrl-alt-f1 [22:54] anyone have an ETA on when PHP 5.3.3 will be available via apt? [22:54] exthd: any HD will work, u just gotta format it [22:55] exthd: i got about 6 HDs all works [22:55] I really need some help quick. I am on my first time ubuntu. I had on hard drive with Windows 7 installed. I booted up my downloaded ubuntu11 CD. But how do I boot in to windows 7? I saw no alternatives on boot menu. Now I am missing a really important file that was on my desktop on my Win7 installation!! [22:55] escott: Unfortunately the mountlist editor that it mentions uses fdisk, so I'm not sure how to bypass the mountlist editor and simply restore it to a chosen existing partition [22:55] SkiOne: in what release? [22:55] paul_uk: I noticed that as well if ya gimme a sec I'll tell ya how I fixed it === adante_ is now known as adante [22:55] 10.04 [22:55] heoyea, thanks for your help, i am just thinking, beacause the pc store is a bit nazi about taking back hds [22:56] amya: awesome i am all ears :) [22:56] exthd: most of those PC are idiots really cant trust them all [22:56] SkiOne: Is there something that 5.3.3 brings that you need in lucid? [22:56] paul_uk, check and see if 'nomodeset noapic acpi=off' helps any [22:56] exthd: PC tech* [22:56] amya: the other way I fixed this, with 11.04 was moving to XFCE, but that is so crappy. I don't want to go there again [22:56] yeah there is a bug fix I need [22:56] paul_uk: changed /etc/default/grub adding vga=normal to this line as so: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash quiet vga=normal" [22:57] hi [22:57] SkiOne: Was it a CVE or just some other bug? [22:57] how can i get vdpau running with fglrx? [22:57] windparadise, in that case, you may want to have a look at the other ini files parsed (also mentioned on the info page) [22:57] the cpu is too slow to decode 1080p it seems [22:57] heoyea, i am an idiot myself beacause i cant install an ect. hd. on my live cd sesseion [22:57] heoya, external hd [22:57] paul_uk: pretty sure thats just a framebuffer issue and should have nothing to do with X or the DE used.. its about the kernel framebuffer [22:57] ok [22:57] olof_, did you choose "install side by side" when you installed Ubuntu? [22:57] it was a filter_var problem, it does not properly dedect valid URLs Pici [22:57] i was running ubuntu off my external hd cause my sata was down, the board was toast. well i replaced the board, now i got my hd and dvdrom back on sata, and i was hooking up the external to get info off it, but it dosent show under my computer as a drive or letter. under disk management its there. but i cant assign it anything i need the info off the drive, how i get it to show under my computer [22:57] to access it to get info off it? [22:57] didnt find anything directly useful [22:58] exthd: well is find because ur not a tech so ur learning, they are getting paid and they donno what they are doing [22:58] paul_uk: the vga=normal kernel perameter solved it here with an nvidia 5200fx card [22:58] amya, ok will try [22:58] Pici: I've tried a few methods and ended up really borking the server, so I was wonder if 5.3.3 will be added [22:58] paul_uk: you need to run update-grub after saving that file [22:58] SkiOne: I only ask becuase CVE (security fixes) may have been patched into the version of 5.3.2 that is in lucid. [22:59] paul_uk: that assures your kernels always boot with normal vga mode rather than an advanced framebuffer mode [22:59] Its not a security bug [22:59] thoeger, yes I did. And now I cant find it :S [22:59] heoyea, it sounded like this guy was knowledged, because he told me about that usb adapter IN the ext. HDs, that would nver work with linux [22:59] SkiOne: Otherwise, It doesn't look like 5.3.3 will be available in 10.04, as it has been available in 10.10 and there was no backport to lucid for that. [22:59] thoeger, all I need to do is find the Windows 7 desktop folder so I can backup that specific file and I can start all over again [23:00] i have a text file that i need to delete a bunch of text starting with " - SF somenumbers.mp3" how can i do this? [23:00] olof, you can try and open a terminal and run 'df -h' (are you experienced with a terminal?) [23:00] is it possible remove broken user installed program? I got one that refuses to uninstall or reinstall [23:00] indieross: you need to delete the entire line? or just that text at the start of a line or what? [23:00] thoeger, not really, what does that command o? [23:01] do* [23:01] exthd: he probally just knows Windows, not really any linux, therefor he lies, if u by any regular HDD it should work [23:01] not the entire line just the text starting and ending with " - SF somenumbers.mp3" [23:01] who to check squid status? [23:01] heoyea, does "regular" include external usb-ones? [23:02] indieross, sed -e "s/ - SF [0-9]*.mp3//" filename [23:02] exthd: will i have a external docking for my HDD [23:02] escott thanks ill give it a try [23:02] indieross: what escott said, but that will just print out the changes, use -i to make it change the file. [23:02] exthd: it pops in and out like Super Nintendo style [23:03] Hello, goofy I know, I have a directory tree with a bunch of CSS files randomly throughout. I need to remember how to recurrsively apply to a certain file extension in any folder of any given child folder within the root [23:03] does that make sense? [23:03] Pici thanks [23:03] escott: how can I bypass the mondorestore mountlist editor and simply restore to an existing partition? === jackson is now known as Guest114 [23:03] heoyea dont understand "will i have a external docking for my HDD" do you maen will it ahve a usb plug?? [23:04] exthd: are you suggesting that linux will not work with a linux filesystem because its USB? because that is absurd and 100% wrong [23:04] kyan, don't know, check the mondo manual. but again mondo is not the right too for what you want to do [23:04] exthd: one of these http://gadgetgrid.gadgetgridllc.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/thermal_take_black_ice.gif [23:04] escott: Hmm, thanks [23:04] heoyea, i was never thinking about sth. like that [23:04] jesus wept, nomodeset noapic vga=normal gives me a blank screen monitor shuts off, ok how can i just get a command line only lol [23:04] Pici the -i is not working [23:05] amya, sry i think you got that wrong [23:05] Is there any software for ubuntu that can back up owned dvds? [23:06] exthd: no I certainly do not.. filesystems do not matter.. the only downside to any specific filesystem on USB is that if its a flash device a journaled fileststem will wear the media out faster [23:06] wayne_: K9copy [23:06] ciaoo [23:06] !list [23:06] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [23:06] wayne_ handbrake [23:06] I don't know how to install handbrake, I wanna copy dvd to dvd if possible [23:07] no encoding is wanted [23:07] !bot [23:07] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [23:07] olof_, it tells you which partitions are visible to your system, what they are called and how large they are. [23:07] well "encoding" to avi or anything like that [23:07] Isn't wanted [23:07] doesn't alter anything, just displays the information [23:07] then use k9copy [23:07] amya, i was reproducing information from the pc store there. can you explain this in simple words again? === BangbusRUs is now known as BangBusRUs [23:08] How does k9copy work, I'm installing it [23:08] wayne_: handbrake only backup to mp4 i believe [23:08] Nahh. Converting and encoding to a container is too much work [23:09] exthd: I don't really know what you're talking about but it sounded to me like you were saying an EXT filesystem would not work via usb.. and I assure you via USB, via a 30ft parallel cable hooked through a coffee machine to an ice maker.. it doesnt matter.. any filesystem the kernel supports it supports period [23:09] is there a way of bypassing the recovery menu and going direcltly into a root shell prompt ? [23:09] escott the sed command is not working [23:09] is it possible remove a broken user installed program? I got one that refuses to either uninstall or reinstall [23:09] paul_uk: there are many ways one is init=/bin/sh which is the most direct way [23:10] indieross, make sure the spaces are correct, and there arent tabs and such [23:10] paul_uk: that will leave your filesystem mounted read-only so you would need to remount rw if you need to make any changes [23:10] amya and I can do this from pressing shift and getting to change the boot options? [23:10] amya, but i should format it as ext3 or ext4? [23:10] paul_uk: that is correct [23:10] Will linux ubuntu ever get Video Game support? [23:10] hi to all, how can I compile a source deb package [23:10] amya, to work properly? [23:10] SilfenX: u can open synaptic, under custom filters theres a broken section [23:10] when let tcpdump to write into a file, it is in a raw forman. is it possible to write it in the same format which is printed on standard output? [23:10] I'd like to play games on here [23:11] I mean I got the package from the Ubuntu repos but its still source [23:11] <_spt_> paul_uk : I had an issue with an ATI card and Ubuntu 11.10 boot issue witha blank screen I fixed it with the info here http://askubuntu.com/questions/38780/how-to-set-nomodeset-for-installation [23:11] I like to compile this package [23:11] escott there are no tabs and i put the command in exactly as shown one more time i need to delete the test " - SF somenumbers .mp3" [23:11] exthd: if it is a flash media, ext2 is safest.. but a journalizing filesystem like ext3 or ext4 could in theory wear the media out more quickly as it does extra writes that would not be required for a non journalizing filesystem and flash media is written to by breaking down a dielectric barrier and has a limited lifetime [23:11] I dont have any source repos enabled [23:12] exthd: but technically speaking any would work.. just some may wear out a flash device faster than others... if its a regular hard disk it makes absolutely no difference at all [23:12] _spt_: thanks for that, checking [23:12] indieross, i mean spaces inside the regex. "1234 .mp3" does not match "1234.mp3" [23:12] when i let tcpdump to write into a file, it is in a raw format. is it possible to write it in the same format which is printed on standard output? [23:12] amya, its going to be a 100gb extrnal hd for media library kinda storage, what filesystem do you suggest, i will apply encryption as well [23:13] amya, sorry 1000 GB, 1 tb [23:13] Does anyone own an M3A770DE Asrock motherboard? [23:13] Hi, I have a problem with the bluetooth with ubuntu 11.04. It does export to send and receive files from other bluetooth device such as Mobile [23:13] exthd, for media used ext4 [23:13] exthd, use not used [23:13] help me please :( [23:13] I installed ubuntu from within windows...can I give ubuntu more HD space ? [23:14] when ubuntu server 1et logged to somewhere and if so how can I access it?0.04 stats up, the text it echoes to the screen during boot , does that g [23:14] if anyone has an M3A770DE motherboard pls /msg me :D [23:14] et logged to somewhere [23:14] exthd: if its a hard disk then you probably want ext3... unless you think you will hit a limitation of the ext3 filesystem then use ext4.. you can see the limitations of ext3 on wikipedia.. they are ridiculously high.. but if it were say a whole TB worth of small picture files it may reach the maximum files limit [23:14] this just in. when I plug in my other network interface, the system all the sudden becomes network addressable on both interfaces [23:14] I suppose I could cheat and have a cronjob that just restarts the networking init script [23:15] _spt_: thanks for the link. unfortunately nomodeset really doesn't do anything for me. I still get a blank screen after bootup [23:15] exthd: the only reason I say use ext3 if you wont hit a limit is because there are still systems out there that may not yet have ext4 support in their kernel and since its a usb drive you may want to use it on other systems and be sure it'll work [23:15] This k9copy doens't work [23:15] doesn [23:16] amya, so these are the limits with ext3, thats it? [23:16] K9copy just crashes [23:16] exthd: this is why using a windows filesystem is often recommended just for wider compatibility.. but personally I rather use ext3 than NTFS, and FAT is out of the question on a drive that large.. you'd have to split it into small partitions to use FAT [23:16] exthd, ext4 has extents [23:16] this is ridiculous, im gonna have to run 11.10 with video hardware acceleration turned off lol, no dual screens for me :/ [23:16] Hi there I just finished installing Ubuntu 11.10 on my Thinkpad T61, I need some help with the bat on the top... [23:16] wayne_: its an abandoned projct too [23:17] escott, what extents? [23:17] wayne_: probally need to install libdvdcss2 1st b4 u can rip/play any protect stuff [23:17] exthd, good for larger files, slightly more efficient [23:17] if anyone has an M3A770DE motherboard pls /msg me :D [23:17] yeah I'm not extremely familiar with ext4 yet myself I follow the staying with the well tested stuff as long as possible philosophy.. and I personally wouldnt use ext4 without reaching a limitation in ext3 [23:17] All the links I found were for 10.4 [23:18] escott, but working with ubuntu 9.19 and later? === Mike is now known as Guest71732 [23:18] escott 9.10.. [23:18] exthd, ext4 is supported by 9.10 [23:19] Can't find libdvdcss2 [23:19] no such thing [23:19] escott thx [23:19] escott can you do that for me, id really appreciate it? [23:19] hi, I installed backintime, and it created a cron job for scheduled backups, now that I've uninstalled backintime, how can I check cron to see if the cron job is still scheduled ? [23:19] !dvd | wayne_ [23:19] wayne_: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video-dvd.html [23:19] if it is still scheduled I don't want it to be [23:19] wayne_: 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 [23:19] where is the cron config file to check ? [23:20] Sometimes my android phone mount via USB and sometimes it doesn't.. Right now it won't.. How do I get it to mount and look at the sdcard? [23:20] indieross, do what? if you want to !paste an example line from the file and what your command was we can look at it [23:20] Anom01y_: crontab -e [23:20] escott http://www.megaupload.com/?d=60RIE383 [23:20] Scunizi: I had that problem a lot with my phone too.. it seems to be the phone in my case.. usually have to reboot my phone when it fails to connect [23:20] Looks like the link on ubuntu.com is busted. I get a drupal error [23:21] to download [23:21] indieross, can you please use !paste [23:21] Scunizi: there is an app to automount sd card, may help [23:21] !paste [23:21] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[23:21] ActionParsnip, which app? [23:21] Anom01y_: or u can use the gui called gnome-schedule [23:21] Anom01y, have you tried rc.local [23:21] Hi all. I've just got Ubuntu installed and trying to get something simple working. I want to use the BFD library in C but #include "bfd.h" is not being found. Am I supposed to download some sort of library first?
