[01:53] NOSaturn: if you have an intel device you're probably already using the best driver [01:53] on sudo update-grub [01:53] i'm using firefox and trying to access cisco webex with my java enabled, i also downloaded openjdk java7 run time, but why the website still says that my java is disabled [01:53] reisio, oh? the system info says the graphics are unknown [01:53] NOSaturn: well then that app is dumb [01:54] DerpyHoovy, did you follow the link reboot to the install and run that command? [01:55] Oh, I didn't rebooot to the install. Ok [01:55] anyone have experiences with lubuntu? [01:55] reisio, so i used lspci... it just says "00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) [01:55] " [01:55] about right then? [01:55] NOSaturn: yes, it's unlikely you have a choice of drivers, you're probably already using the only logical choice [01:55] DerpyHoovy, do the commnds again if it does not give you the grub menu, running that update-grub may have broken your work. [01:56] NOSaturn: but if you're interested, lspci -k | less will tell you [01:56] Ok... [01:56] i'm using firefox and trying to access cisco webex with my java enabled, i also downloaded openjdk java7 run time, but why the website still says that my java is disabled then when i access the website, i can't listen to the audio (ciscowebex is a webinar) [01:58] reisio, thank you. i now feel better [01:59] NOSaturn: it's more ati and nvidia cards that have more than one driver to choose from [02:00] guys, i need your help.. the webinar is happening now, anyway 11.04 hasn't got any issue with.. i'm using 11.10 now [02:00] reisio, thanks. [02:00] quixotedon: ? [02:01] reisio: i'm using firefox and trying to access cisco webex with my java enabled, i also downloaded openjdk java7 run time, but why the website still says that my java is disabled then when i access the website, i can't listen to the audio (ciscowebex is a webinar) [02:01] Ubuntu 11.10 > Nautilus keeps forgetting my icon set. I've tried unity --replace but it had no effect. [02:01] hi [02:02] whats the name of the ubuntu app that can monitor a software raid? [02:02] (gui) [02:02] I resized a partition from Windows, but don't have a CD burner. I'd like to install a full/normal version of Ubuntu to that partition, but I hear Wubi isn't quite as fast due to some disk issues [02:02] Is this true? [02:03] railbait: more or less [02:03] railbait: do you have a USB stick? [02:03] Not at the moment, I could probably get one cheap though [02:03] what wubi does is install Ubuntu into _a file_ inside your Windows NTFS filesystem [02:03] Then boot off of htat [02:03] Right [02:03] it's less than ideal, to put it conservatively [02:03] Vmware style [02:03] railbait: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:03] railbait: yes they're pretty cheap [02:04] seen 4 gb usb on sale for $5. even a 2gb works [02:04] Yeah just has to fit the CD basically [02:04] not seen a 1gb in years [02:04] That'll work for me. Thanks for the advice [02:05] railbait, actually not having a cd or loadable is not good practice, the cd is a good tool to have. [02:05] usb* [02:05] my whole linux install is on a 32 gb flash ;) [02:05] dr_willis: oh yeah? Mine's on a 31 GB flash! [02:06] * reisio wins [02:06] I have a CD drive, it just happens to not be a CD burner, it's a million years old [02:06] $ isn't the issue, just seeing if I could get it done tonight [02:06] Pajama mode [02:06] i dd it to new machines as a fast way to clone them. :-) [02:07] I'll dd it by hand like a baus [02:07] railbait: you could dd the iso to a small hard disk [02:07] Hi..is there any way to broadcast music from my computer over wifi ? [02:07] Why isn't Nautilus respecting my choice of icon set? It keeps reverting back to the GNOME defaults. (In Ubuntu 11.10 - Unity) [02:08] Starminn, how are you doing it? [02:08] Amdpc: broadcast to what receiver [02:08] No luck, same error: unknown filesystem, grub rescue [02:08] Amdpc, Perhaps something like this: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/06/radio-broadcasting-made-easy-with-internet-dj-console/ ? [02:08] urlin2u, What do you mean? [02:09] Starminn, how are you changing the icons, say individually or through with the gnome tweak tool. [02:10] dr_willis :To other pc's with wifi...I want to stream live audio..My pc as transmitter and others as recievers (all using WIFI) [02:10] Let me seee.. [02:10] DerpyHoovy, can you give a description on your follow the link. [02:10] following* [02:11] urlin2u, Gnome Tweak. The one's I've changed individually work perfectly (and they're in the same directory as the rest of the icons, etc., and the launcher respects them as well -- just not unspecified Nautilus ones) [02:11] I loaded up the Live CD, mounted /dev/sda3, and grub-installed --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda [02:12] Here, send me a PM on Ubuntu forums (tman0) - I g2g [02:13] does anyone else have problems in banshee, when it skips to the next song, it crashes? [02:13] DerpyHoovy, you may have to try the other options below the first there is a chroot and a purge and reinstall of grub. Take a look at your partitions from gparted as well and see if the any errors on them. [02:14] when I try to install postfix the ncurses interface or whatever is horrible and I can't read anything [02:14] bagels, Apparently some do. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/banshee/+bug/763781 [02:14] Launchpad bug 763781 in banshee (Ubuntu) "Banshee crashes when switching played song from last.fm" [Medium,Triaged] [02:15] Starminn, when i went to banshee's irc, they only told me to submit a bug bnut yeah i've seen that [02:15] Starminn, it's on any song though [02:15] bagels, *shrug* Did you try the fix proposed in the bug report? [02:15] this is what I'm looking at: http://i.imgur.com/XutxG.png === VileFumes is now known as BepFumes [02:16] is this a unicode problem or what? [02:16] Starminn, when I look at these kinds of things my brain locks up. [02:17] scwizard: I told them the euro was a bad idea, but did they listen?! [02:17] bagels, Me too. That's why I scroll to the bottom and look for plain english [02:17] scwizard: is that a VM? [02:17] reisio: >_> so any ideas how to fix? [02:17] bagels, In this case, it's the last message [02:17] Starminn, trying it [02:17] scwizard: is that a VM? [02:17] : I have installed it...Can you please guide me for how to stream ? [02:18] bagels, If it doesn't work, I can't really do much more to help, ;) I'm just a Googler heheh [02:18] reisio: my terminal is putty, it's in a gnu screen, ubuntu itself is a vm === GodfatherofEir1 is now known as godfatherofeir1 [02:18] ah [02:18] lol Starminn it didn't help. [02:18] well that's a lot of layers for encoding mismatches to happen [02:18] still crashed. [02:18] Hi [02:18] Amdpc, Read the docs. I have never used the program, nor any program even slightly related to it. I just happened to see it online. Have you tried searching for "How to stream using [program]"? [02:18] bagels, You restarted BAnshee when you tried it? [02:18] scwizard: you might start by trying with the window smaller, though [02:19] How can I install more recent firefox on Maverick? [02:19] I did it was even more horrible :( [02:19] scwizard: the goofy chars instead of line chars aren't as big a deal [02:19] scwizard: what VM system is it? [02:19] Wulf, From Mozilla. [02:19] Starminn: so no packages from ubuntu available? [02:19] Starminn, yup [02:19] some vmware, but I haven't had any problems with encoding mismatches stemmign from that [02:20] seems like it would be the terminal or some nonsense [02:20] bagels, :( Then sorry mean, I've done what I can lol [02:20] scwizard: well you can get them from both putty and screen :p [02:20] Hey. So .. I installed the Gnome shell thing. What now? [02:20] Wulf, Are you looking for a beta channel or something else? [02:20] scwizard: but that doesn't really explain the line dislocation, IME [02:20] Majere_Draven, What do you want to do? [02:20] scwizard: why are you using putty and screen for an install? [02:20] true [02:20] when I exit screen I get this [02:21] Starminn: I don't really care if it's beta. [02:21] Starminn: what is a "beta channel"? [02:21] Wulf, Just a repository that serves that program's beta version [02:22] reisio: what would you suggest? [02:22] Starminn: does this exist for maverick and firefox? [02:22] also this is w/o the screen: http://i.imgur.com/4HnVE.png [02:22] I want to start using the gnome shell [02:22] scwizard: that looks good enough [02:22] Wulf, Like, what you've got now gives you the latest stable version (after it's been tested by Ubuntu devs, thus why it's a little behind the rest of the world). [02:22] scwizard: I'd suggest not using putty or screen... [02:22] scwizard: why do you need them for an install? [02:22] reisio: how would I get anything installed then? [02:22] Wulf, As far as the beta PPA goes, there used to be one > ppa:mozillateam/firefox-next < I assume it's still valid [02:23] reisio: what terminal should I use if not putty? [02:23] Wulf, I'd add that then search for "Firefox" in the Ubuntu Software Center [02:23] Majere_Draven, So use it. [02:23] .. How? [02:23] I'm still in unity [02:23] Starminn: ah thanks, I'll try that. [02:23] scwizard: most people use putty as an ssh client, what're you using it for? [02:23] Majere_Draven, Oh. Logout, then on the login screen hit the cogwheel next to your name. Choose GNOME Shell [02:23] I'm using it as an ssh client [02:23] I love you Starminn [02:24] Majere_Draven, I love you too. :) [02:24] evening folks... Does anyone have any suggestions... I'm about to spend $700 on a laptop that I'd like Ubuntu to be pre-installed on. [02:24] quick question, is there a keyboard shortcut for logging out? [02:24] Its been years [02:24] I'm looking to make a little home recording studio on it [02:24] benlebovitz, Have you looked into these guys: http://www.system76.com/ ? [02:25] My last peice of advice to someone was telling them about beryl, if that dates my ubuntu experiance. [02:25] but yeah there's at least two levels of encoding mismatches :( [02:25] ctrl+alt + L = lock screen [02:25] I need some serious help [02:25] Starminn thanks, I'll look now [02:25] I am not sure what I did, but everything on my desktp disappeared, I mean the unity launcherbar, and the bar across the top that has my name, battery status, etc [02:25] Huh, It still looks like unity [02:26] I am new to Ubuntu, so I do not know much about the terms [02:26] reboot bjrohan, you were maybe messing with the CCSM ? [02:26] CCSM? [02:26] I was using Compiz [02:26] bjrohan: open your eyes :D [02:26] compiz config settings manager [02:27] Yep, that was it, I have ATI X1400, a page recommended I disable something in Compiz, I did, and poof things are gone [02:27] will reboot [02:27] reboot then. If it doesn't work. reboot in unity 2d, undo the changes you made, then boot back into unity awesome. [02:27] ok [02:27] thanks [02:27] which is code for unity not so awesome [02:27] :D [02:27] I am starting to believe that unity not so awesome [02:27] bjrohan, If you disable CCSM Unity will stop working [02:28] I did that six times today [02:28] bjrohan, There is a CCSM plugin called "Unity Plugin" or some such that will kill Unity if you disable it, or CCSM (obviously) :) [02:28] benlebovitz, All come complete with an "Ubuntu key" -- rather than a "Windows key" :) [02:28] gonna log out and back in now [02:29] In CCSM I only went to OpenGL, and disabled Sync to VBlank, that is when it went crappers [02:29] I did install Gnome panel, is there any performance sacrafice if I use that instead of Unity? [02:29] brb [02:29] yes bj [02:30] you're sacrificing unity [02:30] I've just installed ubuntu 11.10 and trying to get my bluetooth headset to work. I can pair but there is no option to redirect sound to the headset. When I press the button that start/stops audio, I cant a grey "no" sign (the circle with the slash through it). Any ideas? === chris_ is now known as Guest24622 [02:30] brb for real now [02:30] and unity sux right? what is the sacrafice? [02:30] using gnome-shell btw [02:30] checked the VBland box as it was, will reboot and hopefully come back. [02:33] Hi: I redownloaded Ubuntu 11.10 and installed; still I am unable to go beyond a white screen upon initial login. So I installed 11.04, now I can login, but am unable to connect wireless from my laptop (passphrase is correct; WPA & WPA2 Personal) [02:34] Hello I have a machine running 11.10 that always wants me to enter the key for my network.. Any ideas? I have a gut feeling that it is the keyring or something. [02:35] benlebovitz, Also, http://zareason.com/shop/home.php?cat= [02:35] infinite: what video card. what wireless card... [02:36] anyone know why I can't install Grumblr? [02:36] How do I view an estatement in pdf format in Firefox?? [02:36] slinkeey: the gnome keyring asks for a passorwd on first use. you can leave it blank uf you want [02:36] bagels: how have you tried [02:37] the website has a list of terminal entries to make, it doesn't work. Want a link? [02:37] reisio, ^^ [02:37] bagels: I guess [02:37] dr_willis, I understand that.. My problem is that my network always wants my network key on this one notebook... [02:38] Firefox will not load estatements or bills from within my secure banking site [02:38] estatement, So you wish to view PDFs withing Firefox, correct? [02:38] "Authentication Required by Wireless network" I cannot figure out why it is not being saved. [02:38] reisio, http://themactep.com/grumblr/ i'll put up my terminal output. [02:38] estatement, Like how Chrome/Chromium does? [02:38] okay, [02:38] starminn: yup [02:38] Now how do i customize the gnome shell? [02:38] I mean, wheres the settings thing [02:39] Majere_Draven: gnome-tweak-tool will help [02:39] estatement, Here's the answer to your prayers: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-tiphow-to-open-pdfpostscript-files-inside-firefox.html [02:39] dr_willis : The laptop is Toshiba P25-S507; with NVIDIA Video card; it is Pentium 4; Wireless card is Atheros something? [02:39] I wonder why my bank does not give the option "open with: evince" [02:39] Oh okay [02:39] hi all [02:39] estatement, What it does (or, what it did 3 months ago when I last used it anyway) is essentially open the default document viewer within a Firefox tab [02:39] estatement: because you haven't told Firefox about evince [02:39] reisio, http://pastebin.com/rLxV9RwW [02:39] I rebooted my computer and alas, nothing is better. When I first start I have one bar across the top that says File Edit, View, Go BMarks, Help, I can use GO to open file manager to go to user bin Unity 2D to get the launcher to work and I can access Konversation. I have no system tray :-( [02:39] you can use Adobe's acroread plugin in Firefox as well [02:39] estatement, you bank don't know what you use. [02:40] does anybody are connected by an usb broadband modem ? can you explain to me howto? [02:40] advance settings? [02:40] without mozplugger [02:41] HELP I have LOST everything in ubuntu 11.10, I am a newbie and need a LOT of help [02:41] bjrohan, Try resetting CCSM to all system defaults, logout, then log into "Ubuntu" (as opposed to "Ubuntu 2D" like I assume you just did)] [02:41] ok [02:41] will do Starmin [02:41] Hello, how do I get Ubuntu 11.10 to remember my Wireless network key? [02:42] bjrohan, Alternatively, if you can't get Unity to work at all, you can (other than a complete reinstall) just use GNOME Shell instead, much like many others in this room [02:42] If every time I restart rhythmbox showed zero tracks (while set to watch a folder on another hdd) until I re-assigned the folder to watch or manually imported the folder, what would be my best bet to fix the behavior? [02:42] Starmin, how do I reset defaults? [02:42] Vermicelli, Is the HDD mounted when this occurs? === cipher- is now known as cipher [02:42] bjrohan, Well, have you re-enabled all plugins that were acvtive to begin with? (Namely, the "Unity Plugin" or whatever) [02:43] hello [02:43] Nope, I just re-enabled the one Video VBlank checkbox, I do notice that Ubuntu Unity Plugin is not checked [02:43] The hdd is mounted automatically. It's my media drive. When it mounts I have no idea, but it's accessible before I fire up rhythmbox. [02:44] Is there a one click -reset to default? [02:44] bjrohan, That is your problem. If "Ubuntu Unity Plugin" is disabled, then, consequently, Unity itself will be disabled. [02:44] bjrohan, No. But if Ubuntu Unity Plugin is disabled, simply marking it on again should suffice. You turned it off when you unchecked it. [02:44] I checked that box, most everything comes back [02:45] slinkeey, it should automatically if your not getting a auto logon or in right click the icon-edit connections click on your name-edit then click connect automatically and available to all users. you can also put your password in this gui as well. [02:45] Okay. Now log out, then on the cogwheel next to your user name, make sure you click on "Ubuntu" then login. All should be well [02:45] reisio, anything [02:45] urlin2u, available to all users is disabled [02:45] Okay. Thank you Starminn [02:45] Vermicelli, I had a similar problem when I used Rhythmbox. I had to import the all the audio every time I started, ha [02:46] bjrohan, Well, let's see if this works first. ;) [02:46] slinkeey, do this all from the original install desktop. [02:46] Vermicelli, I just started to use other media players though, I never fixed it. [02:46] bagels: ? [02:46] I am on th original install desktop [02:46] hi all , i have a laptop dell inspiron 1545 and i can not make it work an usb modem broadband , the network manager is not responding on the set up of a new connection, is there something missing or any clue to how set up properly? [02:46] I had the same setup before I replaced my main hdd. Before it was a PATA, now a SATA. Only difference, as far as I know. Xubuntu 11.04 before and after. [02:46] reisio, http://pastebin.com/rLxV9RwW [02:46] reisio, http://themactep.com/grumblr/ i'll put up my terminal output. [02:47] urlin2u, I am on the orig install desktop... I never added any other profiles [02:47] and ubuntu 11.10 sorry [02:47] Thanks anyway, Starminn. [02:47] urlin2u, hahahahah I got it.. once I type the key it unhides...I just assumed it wouldn't [02:48] slinkeey, what desktop and what release? [02:48] bagels: looks like it wants you to install libpango1.0-dev [02:48] Vermicelli, :( The "hacky" way to solve this I can think of is to create a startup script that tells Rhythmbox to import it all whenever the HDD gets mounted. Find out how long that takes, then set a timer for that script accordingly. [02:48] Vermicelli, But then, that's not really solving the underlying issue of course. [02:48] slinkeey, cool [02:48] urlin2u, Ubuntu 11.10 Gnome [02:49] reisio, sudo apt-get install libpango1.0-dev ? [02:49] bagels: should work, yeah [02:49] slinkeey, unity is the install desktop, if you have more problems. [02:50] reisio, http://pastebin.com/XT08FCHK [02:50] Starminn, it would make sense if it's set to auto-monitor a folder, if it went "oh, hey- music!" when it made a periodic scan. Apparently auto-monitoring only happens at application startup? [02:51] Vermicelli, I suppose so. Really, if there's a channel for Rhythmbox that may be the best place for this (and pray they don't just say, "File a bug.") Is there an option to "Rescan Music Library"? You may have to do it manually whenever you turn Rhythmbox on, sure but that's quicker than importing everything over and over again [02:52] Wheeeee..... I can't install xubuntu-desktop because the installation hangs when trying to fetch libpurple. [02:52] Starminn That worked great, thanks again. I won't use CCSM for a while :-) [02:52] bjrohan, :) Oh, don't be afraid of it. Just make sure not to disable Unity. Because, well, that disables Unity. :) [02:52] :-) [02:53] bjrohan, A suggestion to re-acclamate yourself to it -- go to the Unity Plugin (click on the name, not the box), and go to the Experimental tab. You can change icon size and transparency and stuff. [02:53] bjrohan, Don't be afraid of it -- just respect its power. ;) [02:53] Starminn, the channel had one other occupant, and then zero, at least on freenode. Supposedly there's a irc.gnome.org server with support, but it must be down. [02:54] Vermicelli, Is the channel you tried on the irc.gnome.org network? [02:54] Evening folks. Upgrading from maverick to natty. My first issue is that my raid0 is being listed in /prod/mdstat as md127, and not mountable. I've regenerated mdadm.conf numerous ways, but cannot get the array to start up as md0 and mount during boot (note this is NOT a bootable raid, just an array that gets mounted from fstab) [02:55] same thing happened to me when i playarround a littlebit with CCSM ubuntu unity plugin was disabled and i was freak out but i login to ubuntu 2d and re open CCSM and just click to enable Unity plugin and that was all === rewt_ is now known as R3db3ard [02:57] Starminn, I goofed earlier. Made a mistake with adding the server in xchat. I bet I'l have better luck if I'm actually connected to the server. [02:58] Vermicelli, That's what I was thinking. :) [02:58] !register [02:58] Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [02:59] So, Ubuntu, As far as I can tell, Is not not as customizable as it once was. [02:59] even in gnome classic [02:59] So, I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 and Nautilus has decided that it does not wish to use my icons. That instead, it wishes to use the GNOME defaults. Help? [02:59] Majere_Draven, GNOME 2 is still GNOME 2. Ubuntu or not. [03:00] Majere_Draven, GNOME Shell and Unity though are both very new developments, so they're working on stability first, then customization later. More important that it works than to tweak it. [03:00] Majere_Draven, in gnome classic did you try alt click [03:00] gnome 3 is what I'm with, I probably need to go back to gnome 2 to be happy. [03:00] Majere_Draven: a viable option [03:01] Majere_Draven, *nods* More than likely, yes. [03:01] you can read webupd8 tweak post, it may help to customize what you want [03:01] http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/things-to-tweak-after-installing-ubuntu.html [03:01] Majere_Draven, Have you installed the gnome tweak tool? [03:02] all i found was Advance settings. not gnome tweak tool [03:02] Majere_Draven, what can you not do in gnome 3 then [03:02] Majere_Draven: Gnome2 is no longer developed [03:03] quit [03:03] Majere_Draven, that's what's called [03:04] jOpBnaZvsN [03:04] Okay, I'm going to wait out gnome 3... [03:05] Majere_Draven: heheh [03:05] Majere_Draven: on 10.04? [03:05] Really hoping it developes like gnome 2 did. [03:06] I've got a question. I currently run Ubuntu 10.04. I've run several Linux systems in the last two years. My boyfriend would like to check out Ubuntu. I'm thinking Wubi Installer. How is installing with Wubi different than installing from a regular disk? [03:06] Majere_Draven: it's hard to imagine it not [03:06] Majere_Draven: that doesn't necessarily mean it will eventually be configurable to be more like GNOME 2, but I'm betting it will be [03:06] there are probably dozens of script kiddies trying to make it like GNOME 2 right now, for their own glory :p [03:07] victoria: Wubi installs Ubuntu into a _file_ inside the Windows filesystem [03:07] victoria: it's less than ideal, but frequently works just fine [03:07] Oh, and progress quest still refuses to boot up. [03:07] i can play dwarf fortress through wine, but not ubuntu's progress quest [03:07] @reiso Ok. I just don't want to f*ck up his computer. I've done a partition/install several dozen times, but not with XP. [03:08] victoria: the worst that can happen is you confuse the Windows boot loader [03:08] victoria: you can grab a copy of EasyBCD and make a backup beforehand if you like [03:08] or... XP? EasyBCD might work with XP, I don't know [03:08] Why did ubuntu start using unity out of curiosity? [03:08] victoria: if you have the time/inclination/disk space, you can dd an exact copy of his Windows install as a backup [03:09] Because they thought it would look pretty, I think! [03:09] victoria, linux detects windows xp just fine [03:09] victoria: http://mark.koli.ch/2009/05/howto-whole-disk-backups-with-dd-gzip-and-p7zip.html takes a while [03:09] @reisio I haven't looked at his computer yet. I just know it's a million years old and has XP on it. [03:09] slinkeey: the biggest difference is GNOME 2 and GNOME 3 [03:09] slinkeey: which was GNOME's upstream decision [03:10] hi all, I'm printing a log file from an app, and "tail -f" it in terminal. Newline characters ( \n ) don't translate and just display literally as \n. Is translation of these characters and option? [03:10] slinkeey: Unity is a natural result of GNOME 3 having "shells" and being easily reconfigurable in that way [03:10] victoria: ah, good times [03:10] victoria: like I said the worst that can happen AFAIK is you'd have to fixmbr from a Windows XP install image [03:10] reisio, ok... There is stuff i like, but I tend to accidently make the unity slide menu come out on me while browsing the web [03:10] victoria: and there are Linuxland utils for doing that, too, so you don't even really need a Windows install image === mau is now known as Guest66430 [03:11] @reisio, Ok. that sounds easy [03:11] So, I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 and Nautilus has decided that it does not wish to use my icons. That instead, it wishes to use the GNOME defaults. Help? [03:11] victoria: basically if anything goes wrong don't panic, get on IRC [03:11] reisio, I love the Windows key program... That is great.. It's like a search engine for my pc [03:11] slinkeey: yeah lots of people like those [03:12] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_desktop_application_launchers [03:12] reisio, No I am talking about that thing that comes out of the box with 11.10 [03:12] slinkeey: I know [03:12] reisio, they did a nice job with that.. [03:12] but that's what it is, an application launcher [03:13] ahhh progress quest. Now I can start playing my favorite game. [03:13] reisio, It is nice for when I am not sure about what I am looking for but I know for example I want to do something with a PDF [03:13] [03:13] victoria: oh and I don't know what hardware you use Ubuntu with, but if his is really a million years old, you might try Lubuntu [03:13] slinkeey: mmmhmmm [03:13] slinkeey: KDE has one, too, built into the menu [03:14] reisio, I am an AS400 (iSeries, system I) guy so it feels like home... Yes I know AS400 is text based, but still I feel more at home with Ubuntu compared to Windows.. [03:15] because of the commands, yar [03:16] I want to find something much like WRKACTJOB on the AS400 that lets me drill into a job/service running on my PC and see what files it has open and etc... That would be sweet! :) [03:18] how do I do an arp for a virtual IP address do I use the physical interface or the virtual one? eg arping -I bond0 or arping _i bond0:1 [03:18] slinkeey, system monitor can do that [03:19] hello [03:19] So, I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 and Nautilus has decided that it does not wish to use my icons. That instead, it wishes to use the GNOME defaults. Help? [03:19] sevink: hi [03:20] robin0800, awesome... I can see what files are open... you are right... [03:20] Starminn: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22nautilus%22%20%22icons%22%20%2211.10%22%20site%3Aubuntuforums.org ? [03:20] question: what does (xchat:17621): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_xmap", mean? [03:21] sevink: means the developers have some work to do [03:21] robin0800, Much nicer then Windows Task manager.. WRKACTJOB on the 400 spoiled me... Can you actually use system moniter to see if I a program is looping (running the same instruction or set of instructions over and over?) [03:21] ah [03:21] sevink: and you're for some reason running xchat from a terminal :p [03:22] sevink: It's a warning which is typically just a harmless informational message [03:22] i'm a linux newbie and decided to install/start xchat from terminal just to get more familiar with it [03:22] what's the difference between unity 2d and 3d and how do i select which one to use? [03:22] gotcha [03:22] pp7_: 3d has fancy hardware accelerated effects [03:22] pp7_: 2d doesn't [03:22] pp7_: you select it at login [03:22] pp7_: I think you pick from the login screen [03:23] ok [03:23] slinkeey, sorry don't know don't think so [03:23] what's the most preferred Chinese input method on ubuntu? [03:23] thx [03:23] leo2007: dunno, but wubi [sic] is the bestest [03:23] robin0800, that's cool [03:24] where's the banshee channel here? [03:24] http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Wubizixing%22%20site%3Aubuntuforums.org [03:24] bagels: possibly #bamshee [03:24] robin0800, I am liking this though...... Thanks for your time [03:24] ehehhe [03:24] bamshee, that's a better name [03:24] bam lol [03:24] i see that when i click on the "dash home" icon on the left side, there are some white "glitch-y" boxes on the window. [03:24] bagels: /msg alis list *whatyouarelookingfor* [03:24] * derp farts. [03:24] covering a portion of the search bar. [03:24] reisio, GNOME defaults, not blank [03:25] Starminn: the solution for that could still apply [03:25] there is no banshee channel on here. at least not #banshee [03:26] are people using vmbuilder? or is that too old-school? it looks like the docs are a little crufty. [03:26] bagels: it's on irc.gnome.org [03:26] # banshee irc.gnome.org bagels [03:26] reisio, oh, herp. there it is [03:27] example of my problem: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/710/screenshotat20111103191.png/ [03:27] I'm building vms and vmbuilder used to seem like the thing to use, but I'm running into bugs and missing docs now. it was an awesome program last time I used it. hope it's just a few glitches. [03:27] neat [03:27] reisio, Guess I'll just have to end Nautilus by command each time. *shrug* [03:28] bagels, It's on a different network I believe. irc.gnome.org IIRC [03:28] found it! [03:28] bagels, http://banshee.fm/about/contact/ [03:28] bagels, There ya go, lol [03:29] Well later all [03:29] bye [03:33] how to switch input method in ubuntu? [03:33] what it the default directory for installing programs? [03:35] JasonGriffee: all over the file system [03:36] ActionParsnip, i need the skype directory [03:39] leo2007: http://askubuntu.com/questions/36245/no-keyboard-layout-indicator-text-in-the-notification-area [03:39] leo2007, this is an english channel I would go to the source. [03:39] !cs [03:39] chanserv.py is a ChanServ helper script for !XChat | https://github.com/seveas/chanserv.py [03:39] JasonGriffee: the main binary is /usr/bin/skype but there are files in /lib and other places. It doesn't just go to one place [03:39] JasonGriffee: nor is it just the one deb, it will use deps which will have files in other places. [03:40] JasonGriffee: why do you need the skype 'location'? === grub is now known as Guest26999 [03:42] ActionParsnip, Skype customer support asked me to create a folder for skype to log errors [03:42] How does GDM remember what programs I had running when I logged off and restart them? Can this be turned off? [03:42] Lewoco: yes, in GNOME's preferences [03:42] not GDM's [03:43] Hi I accidentally run command "chsh -s yes" on my user on a remote server, how best to fix?? [03:44] Hi, have a random question about telnet [03:44] The telnet architeture requires a client & server [03:44] how is that one can telnet to any open port [03:44] say google.com 443 [03:44] and see the banner [03:45] obviously there isn't a telnet server running on 443 [03:45] how is it able to return a connection [03:45] Hamled: any other users you can remote in as? [03:45] reisio, Well I just checked and it's already disabled. [03:46] no :( === Guest26999 is now known as not_booting [03:46] jd225: Since this has nothing to do with ubuntu, you probably should ask in a more appropriate channel like #networking [03:46] good call [03:46] will do [03:46] Hamled: another reason why Ubuntu should have root like everybody else :p [03:47] Hamled: that's a good question, ask ##linux [03:47] Hamled: you might have to get someone to boot a liveOS for you [03:47] okay, thanks! [03:47] hey all, i'm having some serious problems with my ubuntu 10.10 install, i ran a kernel upgrade a few days ago, restarted once and everything was fine, restarted a second time and was greeted by the black screen of death, while the hard drive is plugged in I can't boot from a cd or usb live disk, I tried to run boot-repair from a live cd, it said it was sucessful, but it wasnt i reinstalled 10.10 and still the problem persists, i see the initial lenovo [03:47] splash screen and get stuck at a blinking cursor before grub, oh it's a dual boot xp/ubuntu laptop with separate home partition [03:48] apparently ubuntu can mount USB drives which have spaces in their names, but has a difficult time unmounting them? [03:49] ??? [03:49] jmichaelx: entirely possible [03:49] deco: agreed [03:49] How do i stop rtorrent so i can edit rtorrent.rc ? [03:49] eHAPPY: service rtorrent stop? [03:50] Prothon it says unrecognized service [03:50] :S [03:50] sudo pkill rtorrent [03:51] hold on let me google for 5 minutes trying to find what "pkill" does -_- [03:51] linux documentation is so poor [03:51] It really isn't that bad [03:51] pkill = process kill [03:51] pkill --help [03:51] what does pkill do what kill doesnt? [03:51] would anyone here have a suggestion as to how to unmount a USB drive, that has a space in its name? === B0g4r7__ is now known as B0g4r7 [03:51] eHAPPY: every unsure of something, just type man [command here] [03:52] kill normally works off of pid (process id) [03:52] you'd hav to use top to find that out [03:52] jmichaelx: how are you trying to unmount? [03:52] oh ok so its just a lazy way of kill then? [03:52] can someone please explain this to me? i need to create a folder but I don't know where: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/727833/ [03:52] command line? gui? [03:52] nevermind, i was able to just umount /dev/sdX [03:52] eHAPPY: Yeppers. [03:52] not_booting: GUI first, then command line... neither would work [03:53] eHAPPY: Work smart, not hard. [03:53] i like to use disk utility if there is an issue [03:53] eHAPPY, Ever heard of the man? It is run by "man " in a terminal. So "man pkill" will answer more questions than you've ever wanted answers for about that command. [03:53] man=manual [03:53] eHAPPY: In rtorrent window, ctrl-q [03:54] Prothon i try but there is little documentation of what im trying to learn, and rarely if ever reasons why do use one over another :/ [03:54] jmichaelx, try tab completion of the name [03:54] Starminn ok ty im sure ill be using that a lot [03:54] JasonGriffee, In ~ (your home folder)/.Skype (a hidden folder named "Skype")/ Logs [03:54] qin no rtorrent window [03:54] How do you passthrough a usb 2.0 device on qemu-kvm? It seems to only register as 1.1 [03:55] * ZombieSickBoy slaps 17SABTGWE around a bit with a large trout [03:55] eHAPPY: Then equip yourself with htop, comfy tool [03:55] JasonGriffee, For all folders beginning with "." they are hidden in Linux. To reveal them, go to View->Show hidden folders -- or hit CTRL+H [03:56] Starminn, is that what "~" means? that makes way more sense, thank you [03:56] HI guys, I am trying to upgrade kernel on ec2 machine. current version installed is 2.6.32-309-ec2, I installed new version with apt-get install linux-image-2.6.32-319-ec2, and restarted the instance, but it's still showing old kernel, any idea why ? [03:56] JasonGriffee, Haha, yeah -- the tilde (~) is just shorthand for "Home" [03:56] can anyone help with a raid0 being detected at boot as md127, and not started? Just upgraded to natty, cannot seem to resolve getting this to start during boot-up. [03:56] qin ty that looks very helpful [03:57] Starminn, my mind was taking me to the top of the drive [03:57] JasonGriffee, At root (/)? Heh. Well, if it isn't explained then it can be confusing. [03:58] JasonGriffee, This should help significantly if you ever want to learn some good basic commands for Linux. http://www.tuxfiles.org/ It's what I used, and what I reference still in the rare case I use the command-line [03:58] hey all, i'm having some serious problems with my ubuntu 10.10 install, i ran a kernel upgrade a few days ago, restarted once and everything was fine, restarted a second time and was greeted by the black screen of death, while the hard drive is plugged in I can't boot from a cd or usb live disk, I tried to run boot-repair from a live cd, it said it was sucessful, but it wasnt i reinstalled 10.10 and still the problem persists, i see the initial lenovo [03:58] splash screen and get stuck at a blinking cursor before grub, oh it's a dual boot xp/ubuntu laptop with separate home partition [03:58] any body have any ideas? [04:00] not_booting: if you're running a blank install with separate /home why don't you try the latest ubuntu? [04:00] Starminn, thank you, bookmarked [04:00] didn't want to have any config issues [04:01] but it's looking like i'm going to try 11.04 [04:01] not_booting: what happened on the boot that after you upgraded and it worked? [04:02] not_booting: when you say "when the hard drive is plugged in" do you mean a USB drive or something? [04:02] no, the actual sda harddrive, i unplugged that it now it boots [04:02] into a live cd before it would just blink even when i adjusted the boot order in the bios [04:02] i didnt see anything unusual [04:03] when i rebooted [04:03] turned my computer off for the day came back to work the next day and nothing would work [04:04] not_booting, are you familiar with the bootscript? [04:05] in which way? i know it exists but i dont know anything about it [04:05] http://paste.ubuntu.com/727843/ this is my fdisk -l [04:06] not_booting: this is with sda unplugged? [04:06] not_booting, how are you getting that if you have b=no boot and can't get a cd to boot. [04:06] i unplugged the hard drive, then once i got to the live cd i reconnected the main hardrive, i'm using a live usb [04:07] if i have the hard drive installed, i get tot he black screen of death [04:07] nothing else will work === kev is now known as Guest32620 [04:08] not_booting, do you know the key prompt to get the boot from menu outside the bios f12 ia quite common so you could boot the cd with all drives plugged in a run the bootscript. Also is one HD a slave? [04:08] Hello, I was wondering if anyone had any experience with setting up a PXE boot image within a Centos environment for Ubuntu. I was working on getting a linux iso up, but the furthest I got was booting up to a initramfs and was looking for pointers. [04:08] not_booting: That is very strange considering your BIOS reads a CD first if it is first in your boot order, regardless of what is on a HDD. [04:08] no my main hard drive is listed as sdb because i think the live usb is taking up sda === Guest32620 is now known as kreid [04:09] i agree it's puzzling [04:09] only have one hd [04:10] switch10, if you can find the key prompt and get the cd booted run this script and pastebin the results.txt http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ [04:11] reisio: sorry i rebooted to windows.. any solution to my problem? [04:12] not_booting, it is not that uncommon for a cd to not boot being first in the bios that is why you want to know the out of bios key prompt for choosing the boot from a gui. === grizz is now known as AnonGrizz [04:12] quixotedon: what was your problem? [04:12] ok i'm gettin gthe boot script thing i'll psate the results [04:12] Hello, I am using Ubuntu 11.10, and Image Viewer has decided to stop working. Any suggestions? (This occurs in both Unity and GNOME Shell, I have tried logging out/in, restarting the DE manually, as well as full restarts to no avail) [04:14] reisio: webex stated that my java is disabled (using firefox though i have downloaded javajdk run 7) which made me unable to listen to the audio of the webinar because the app is still accessible but with no functions of ja va [04:14] reisio: this happens after i'm using 11.10, before when i used 11.04, nothing goes wrong [04:15] yeah I think Oracle changed some things between those versions [04:15] urlin2u: i ran the script http://paste.ubuntu.com/727848/ [04:15] Is it common to have problems with 11.10 playing nice with win7 via samba? I cant seem to get any configuration to work at all... [04:15] not_booting, cool hold on [04:15] thanks i can hold :) [04:16] reisio: are you talking about Oracle to me?? :) [04:16] ischliky, it works great...did u add the samba users? [04:16] not_booting: you have to reinstall grub [04:16] reisio: this is a big issue then, since i'm using the webinar for several times a month and the only solution is to access it using windows.. :( [04:17] the boot partition is sdb2, an ntfs partition. [04:18] so i should put it in sdb7 the ubuntu partition? [04:18] does anyone know a linux mail client that offers something like this (note, it doesn't work with the latest version of thunderbird): https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/remindit [04:18] quixotedon: I'm sure you can fix it, but I don't personally know what to tell you [04:18] quixotedon: webex is fairly popular though, so you might search ubuntuforums.org first [04:18] popsch: does it not work or not install? [04:19] reisio, it doesn't work once it is installed (overriding the compatibility check) [04:19] :D [04:19] just checking [04:19] reisio, it is such a useful feature to keep track whether people responded to important email [04:19] not_booting, you have syslinux in the sdb mbr not grub it is as you suggetsed reading that way as the cd shows as sda, so use this link with the cd to follow the default on the link use the fdsik to confirm how your ubuntu partition is showing and if still sdb use the commands with sdb and sdb7 if fdisk reads thenm that way. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Copy_LiveCD_Files [04:19] reisio: the thing is my firefox is set to enable java and webex said it is disabled:-O [04:19] not_booting: you installed ubuntu first, and then Ubuntu after? [04:20] not_booting: sorry, ubuntu first, and windows after? [04:20] windows first [04:20] not_booting: ok, thats good. [04:20] i've been using ubuntu for more than 6 months on this laptop with no issues [04:21] Hello, I am using Ubuntu 11.10, and Image Viewer has decided to stop working. Any suggestions? (This occurs in both Unity and GNOME Shell, I have tried logging out/in, restarting the DE manually, as well as full restarts to no avail) [04:21] not_booting: this just started happening after a kernel upgrade or something? [04:21] yes [04:21] huttan, where are you adding users? [04:21] 2.6.35-30 [04:22] i will try that urlin2u [04:22] hi how do i get to the grub menu when booting into ubuntu? is there a particular key press needed? [04:23] not_booting, cool it will never boot with syslinux in the mbr [04:23] ok so just to double check where should i put the bootloader? [04:23] in the ubuntu partition? [04:23] evelyn: hold shift at boot [04:24] not_booting, did you not post the whole results.txt as well? [04:24] huttan, im not sure that is my problem tho, i cant see any windows computers and vice versa [04:25] Aptitude suggests the installation of many packages that nor 'apt-get install -f' and nor 'apt-get install --install-recommends' suggest. Please can you give me your opinion about? Should be fault of incomplete o partial installations? Why all these packager are suggested to be installed? http://pastebin.com/5PtJ2UmW [04:25] it looks like it got cut off half way [04:25] ActionParsnip: excellent thank you! on to the next problem... [04:25] Starminn: try eog or imagemagick :) === dvz- is now known as Guest76094 [04:26] when i try to run startx i get "no screens found" (failed to load module intel vesa and fbdev) [04:26] not_booting, read the link you have a fdisk -l command to confirm the stuff and two commands one mounts the partition and the second puts grub in the mbr. [04:26] do i need to grab special xorg packages for these modules? [04:26] ActionParsnip, But...but...but.... I want ImageViewer to work... :( [04:28] ok i'm gonna try this copy live cd thing [04:29] Hi! I'm in ubuntu 11.10 and I've noticed internet goes much slowler than in windows. It's not the matter of navigator, happens with firefox, chromium or jdownloader [04:29] not_booting, cool the instructions are clear the ubuntu lines showing show the right files, but since you did not post the whole results.txt we assume here that the grub files in the partition are okay, and your problem is no grub in the mbr=sdb [04:30] ok thanks [04:30] back to the command line i go [04:30] ActionParsnip, It used to work, then it suddenly stopped when I removed it from Main Menu. I tried adding it back but it never returned [04:31] javier_, Flash or normal webpages? [04:32] Starminn: everything. Every kind of webpages. I' ve just read in google about ipv6. Do you know what's that? [04:33] Starminn: if yu make a .desktop in /usr/share/applications to run the command, it will appear [04:33] javier_, You know what an IP address is? [04:33] hi guys, i want to know how to delete files inside the bin and other blocked directories that require permisson [04:33] javier_, Instead of 255.255.255.255 (IPv4), IPv6 is 255.255.255.255.255.255 [04:33] javier_: what if you switch to google's DNS? [04:33] Starminn: ah... I tried it in firefox and it seems to work fine now [04:33] javier_: disabling ipv6 can help a little [04:34] tralalalalalala [04:34] killswitchguy: using sudo, or be root. BUT be absolutely sure about what you're doing; this could be system breaking [04:34] ActionParsnip: I never heard about google's DNS [04:34] javier_: you can add the boot option: ipv6.disable=1 and it will make your OS not use ipv6 [04:35] javier_: http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using.html [04:35] killswitchguy: if you have a problem ask for solutions before attempting any 'gut feeling' type job [04:35] aeon-ltd: how can i do that ? be root that is [04:35] i announce good bye to banshee, after desperately experiencing crash.. [04:35] nothing serious, just editing a config file for scalpel [04:35] killswitchguy, In the commandline you use terminal commands with "sudo" at the beginning. Or the easy way -- hit ALT+F2, then type "gksudo nautilus" you are now God on your computer. Just be careful [04:35] killswitchguy: if you run: sudo -i you will get a root console [04:35] thanks [04:35] killswitchguy: login as root, or 'sudo su' in a terminal; for editing files type in terminal 'sudo gedit /path/to/file' [04:36] killswitchguy: run: exit when you are done [04:36] ActionParsnip: what I have actually done is in "about:config" in firefox change false value into "true". It means I disabled it or enabled? [04:36] killswitchguy, then "gksudo gedit /path/to/file.config should work [04:36] javier_: not sure dude. I don't use firefox [04:36] hello [04:36] is there a way to resize the launchbar in 11.10 [04:37] I need help installing a wireless driver on a Toshiba Satellite. [04:37] Is there a way to do a full disk encryption after an installation of ubuntu? [04:37] ActionParsnip: but, you know what makes it faster? enable or disable ipv6? [04:38] linuxuz3r, in the3 compizcofig manager is a unity plugin you can resize the left unity panel there. [04:38] ActionParsnip, Image Viewer is already listed. [04:38] When I type in the sudo modprobe command for RTL8188ce_pci it gives me FATAL: ... [04:38] ok [04:38] urlin2u: do you have nvidia gfx card [04:38] Starminn: what if yuo run it from terminal? [04:39] linuxuz3r, nope [04:39] Hello, I'm trying to connect to a wireless network from a new Xubuntu install. The wireless device does not show up in ifconfig. lshw shows me that my wireless card is a BCM4311 device. I don't have any means to connect via ethernet either (I am chatting from a different machine) so I tried the 'STA - No Intenet Access' method as described in the documentation: http://bit.ly/w0DUvf [04:39] However, running System->Additional Drivers doesn't show any new drivers available for install. Can someone please tell me how to proceed? [04:39] ActionParsnip, Would the path to the file in /usr/share/applications suffice or is there a separate system-wide command? [04:39] I already asked in #xubuntu (not enough people there I am afraid) [04:39] !broadcom [04:39] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [04:40] !broadcom | Hannofcart has an offline install method using the install CD [04:40] Hannofcart has an offline install method using the install CD: please see above [04:40] urlin2u, that is the instructions I am following (I linked to it above) [04:41] Starminn: it will be listed in there as a desktop file, but the exec line for the command may be different [04:41] Starminn: once you find the name of the file you can run: grep Exec filename.desktop [04:42] ActionParsnip, I have already installed Xubuntu, its only the network I am trying to configure. I did follow the instructions on the page you pointed out already (thats the link I posted in my question) [04:42] Hannofcart, the link is about the limit of my knowledge in this area hang tough though there are a couple of people on who know this stuff, I am just hesitant to out them. [04:43] urlin2u, alright, thanks for even trying to help me with this :) [04:43] My backrounds don't work anymore how do I fix it? [04:44] Is there anyone here that would be able to give me instructions on installing a RealTek wireless driver on a Toshiba Satellite? [04:45] zoombuggy, what do you mean? more details please [04:45] !realtek | Brumagem [04:45] Brumagem: some help for recent Realtek chipsets can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/RealtekRTL8187b [04:45] 8188ce [04:46] They were changing but after some update, they stopped. [04:46] Hi, ubuntu users [04:46] how do I make them change again? === miki is now known as Jack_Sparrow [04:47] recommend you guys using clementine for music player.. :) [04:47] zoombuggy, what was making them change? [04:47] A progamme called gbackgound [04:48] The information on that webpage doesn't provide me with the info. I need. [04:48] Brumagem, here is a ubuntu forum link with that card. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1770202 [04:48] Dugie: hi Dugie [04:48] zoombuggy, what version of ubuntu are you running? [04:49] is there a way with lspci or hwinfo or something to find out if a computer has PCI Express 2.0 or just 1.0? [04:49] 11.10 now [04:49] Hi: I redownloaded and reinstalled Ubuntu 11.10 and yet get a white screen upon initial login; I installed 11.04 and am able to login; but cannot use the wireless connection on Laptop as it does not recognize my correct passwd. Laptop Toshiba P25-S507; Pentium 4, Nvidia Video Card; Atheros WiFi card. Thanks for your help! [04:49] in terminal how can I list process usage ? [04:49] can ps give you that information ? [04:49] pipalo: ps does, has cpu time info === jsurfer_ is now known as jsurfer === S1 is now known as Guest4489 [04:50] Still doesn't help. [04:50] zoombuggy, the easiest thing to do is install wallch to change your wallpapers [04:50] infinite: wireless connectioin works fine for me, go to 'network connection' and edit [04:51] infinite: or try updating the driver of your wireless device [04:51] infinite, your login password is the same for the wifi but the wifi has to have the personal key correct. [04:52] infinite: the same thing like urlin2u said, sometimes it's when you need to press the button on your wireless router (sometimes it happens to me too) [04:52] pipalo, try "ps aux" [04:53] ActionParsnip: can you tell me a bit more about google's DNS? I found something in google, but not very clear. Do you advise me to use it with Wicd or Network Manager is ok? [04:53] Hi Guys, I am using 11.10 and I have having trouble with the printers. I cant seem to add my network printer. It is an old school laserjet with a network connection.When I go to add printers it does not show under local host (obviously), in network, I can type in the address but the add button does not become selectable. Any know how to add manually add a network printer? [04:53] ActionParsnip, I tried running it with "eog" and received this output: "GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: Timeout was reached" All I can get is bug reports on Launchpad confirming it's not just me [04:53] quixotedon: Should I use ethernet to update wifi drivers then connect wifi? urlin2u: My logini passwd is different from my Wifi passwd on Linksys Wifi router [04:54] Brumagem, realteks are not very Ubuntu friendly in general, not many of us use them knowing that if your waiting for help instead of looking on the web with the cards info you may wait a long time; just saying. [04:54] urlin2u: hello! [04:55] infinite: yup, you gotta connect to the internet then go to "additinonal drivers' (just press dash and type 'drivers') find the wireless broadcom driver [04:55] When I boot my desktop I am getting the following "SP5100 TCO timer: mmio address ..... already in use" and it just hangs. Also when I attempt to boot into recovery mode I get the following message, "Couldn't find whiptail, starting root shell instead of recovery menu." Is there a way to blacklist a driver from root shell? [04:55] Brumagem, hello I have no idea of a fix here just passing on what I have seen on the irc, it is a personal observation. [04:56] infinite: well, i'm also using atheros but guess, it works fine without any hassle of updating the driver, maybe it will work for you (only a suggestion from a newbie though) :) [04:56] quixotedon: OK Thanks will try that [04:57] quixotedon, he has a reltek I think. [04:57] realtek* [04:57] zykotick9 Cheers man that is a good one. and also i just found about 'top' that is really handy ! [04:57] urlin2u: isn't realtek the router?? [04:58] quixotedon: Will try that [04:58] quixotedon, I think it is the card [04:59] infinite: good luck then, urlin2u: hopefully that's the same way to resolve his problem, this is all i know though :) [04:59] my atheros disconnects from wi-fi on on both acer laptops 10.10 and 11.10 but the manual for the arm system i hooked up said it may cause a wireless connection problem :( [05:00] Oh, the add a new printer window displays the message "FirewallD is not running. Network printer detection needs services mdns, ipp, ipp-client and samba-client enabled on firewall." [05:00] I am not sure if that is what is preventing me [05:01] hi [05:02] pipalo: Top is useful. htop is also cool :) [05:02] I type in find . -name "*.ko" and find the rtl8188ce_pci.ko file then I type in sudo modprobe rtl8188ce_pci and it gives me a FATAL: ... message. [05:03] robin0800: thank you for helping me out , it does work thanks [05:06] Alright, my Ubuntu Software Center won't open. Help? [05:08] Hello? [05:08] world? [05:08] universe? [05:10] Does anybody here know how to go about installing a RealTek wireless adapter driver on a Toshiba Satellite? [05:12] hi. how do I disable Unity in 11.10? [05:12] ruslan_osmanov: what do you want to use instead [05:12] Brumagem: any particular toshiba satellite? [05:13] reisio, the classic environment [05:13] L755D [05:13] Starminn: try reboot [05:13] ruslan_osmanov: that's gone in 11.10, AIUI, the best you can do is install gnome-shell / gnome-tweak-tool / gnome-panel / gnome-session-fallback [05:13] reisio, it was available in 10.10 on the login screen [05:13] ruslan_osmanov: log out and hit the cog next to your name [05:13] ruslan_osmanov: 10.10 != 11.10 [05:14] !notunity [05:14] Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [05:14] Brumagem: what's the device? lspci | grep -i net [05:15] quixotedon, Ever since I started using 11.10 random applications have lost configurations, won't open, etc. I'm not going to pull the whole "Windows mentality" and reboot every time something goes wrong. Will it help with the USC? Most likely. Will it solve the underlying problem? highly doubtful. I am determined to fix these problems. For right now, I'm using the command-line in lieu of the USC. [05:15] My desktop will not boot is there a way to get into a full terminal where I can use "apt" to update and fix my issues? [05:15] quixotedon, But, thanks for the suggestion which I am 99.9% sure would solve it. ;) I'm just stubborn heh [05:15] mark_, CTRL+ALT+F1 [05:16] Starminn: sorry can't help with bash command, [05:16] ; [05:16] mark_, F1-F6 are virtual terminals, F7 is the GUI [05:16] quixotedon, I don't need help with them, I'm installing and removing myself. Just want the USC to work. :) [05:16] And Eye of GNOME, and Nautilus. [05:16] hi, internet goes very slow with ubuntu (in firefox, chromium, jdownloader...), much slowler than windows. How can I change this? [05:17] Thanks Starminn [05:17] how to teach IBUS to input Chinese? [05:17] javier_: how much RAM does the system have? [05:17] 4 mb [05:18] Hey ActionParsnip! whatup ?

So at that point I hit control+alt+F1 [05:19] how can I feed 'ps -ef | grep defunct | grep -v to kill ? [05:19] so it kills all of them ? [05:20] hi [05:21] can i know that how to use a battery meter in Ubuntu [05:21] hellow Any one there/> [05:21] ActionParsnip: I did that. What is it exactly? [05:22] When I login it doesn't recognize me as a root user [05:22] javier_: assigns more RAM to network activities [05:22] mark_: you aren't a root user, you are just a member of the admin group. That group gets to use sudo etc [05:23] pipalo: kill `command here` [05:23] Oh I see...then is there a default root username and password? === luist_ is now known as luist [05:23] mark_: no, the root account is disabled. If you want a root console run: sudo -i [05:23] ActionParsnip: ok, thanks. What about what you mentioned about google's DNS? Do you think it may work? [05:23] 'can i know how to use a battery meter in ubuntu 10.10 [05:23] ? [05:24] any one pleace help mee [05:24] javier_: it may be faster than what you have now. Its worth a shot [05:24] Where do I want to run sudo -i from? From the recovery bash prompt? [05:24] mark_: in a gnome terminal. The other stuff you can do happily as your user [05:24] ActionParsnip, ok, i will try to follow the tutorial you sent me. thanks!

[05:36] mark_: check BIOS to ensure the BIOS is doing stuff right. You may need to manually set stuff. Not sure [05:37] I have read that I can just blacklist the driver. Is this something that I can do without root access? [05:38] mark_: no. where are you seeing the IRQ conflict?

[05:43] pnorman: python is part of ubuntu's base install.. it would fall apart without it :) [05:43] erase: then you qwill need to plan a maintenance window to do it. You could use sshfs and then access it from another system at cli and chmod it there. You may be able to also reinstall the package which chmod is part of [05:43] CarlFK: it'd also fall apart without a working chmod :P [05:43] erase: if you (as root) open up python and use os.fchmod it might work [05:44] nocturnal_, one way to see programs cat /usr/share/applications [05:44] nocturnal_, dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall [05:44] leo2007: Which settings do you need?

Version 0.2.2-1 (oneiric), package size 113 kB, installed size 956 kB [06:18] ActionParsnip, So all of these alternatives are also light image editing progs as well, yes? [06:19] ActionParsnip, Then why do we include Eye of GNOME at all? Why not just go all Shotwell? [06:19] !botsnack [06:19] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [06:19] napster, wodim -> http://linuxconfig.org/using-command-line-wodim-tool-to-burn-iso-image [06:19] Starminn: gpicview is a viewer, there are image editting tools available. I believe gthumb can do stuff [06:19] bobweaver: ok, let me check [06:20] bobweaver: I am not sure what I'm looking at here...virt? [06:20] Newbeeans, htop is a live monitor it monitors what the system is using and the cpu usage and mem usage [06:21] hi [06:21] bobweaver: But, I dont have a burning device. Can I create an image file? [06:21] Newbeeans, in other words what is eating up you cpu [06:21] NTP is at 30g [06:21] napster, you have to create iso before burring a iso :>) [06:21] ActionParsnip, Ah, okay. On a separate note though, why do we have both Eye of GNOME *and* Shotwell as defaults? When they both do they same thing when simply viewing an image? [06:22] napster, most gui programs use wodim to create the iso [06:22] like k3b [06:22] ok [06:23] napster, have you thought about taring it up ? [06:23] Starminn: not sure. I don't use gnome desktop these days, and when I did I used minimal install and installed what I needed rather than having to gut the fluff out I don't use and instal what I want [06:23] ActionParsnip, Ah, I see. Out of curiosity, what do you use? [06:23] Starminn: shotwell is is photo manager, EOG is just a viewer [06:24] Starminn: LXDE and KDE [06:24] HulkHogan, Yes, but if you right-click on an image and click, "Open With -> Shotwell Photo Viewer" you can see that Shotwell clearly has a section devoted to being a Viewer. [06:24] ActionParsnip, Ah, okay. [06:24] ActionParsnip, I'll just remove EOG then, as there really isn't much use for it then in my eyes. *shrug* [06:24] Starminn: Shotwell does both but it is not a better viewer, thats why is quicker to use EOG [06:25] HulkHogan, I do agree -- EOG is quicker to start === jared is now known as Guest81821 [06:25] Starminn: if it is of no use to you, why not :) [06:26] ActionParsnip, Well, and if it's not working anyway.. *Shrug* heh [06:26] Starminn: use Mirage, is lighter then EOG [06:26] Using Ubuntu 11.10, Nautilus is constantly replacing my chosen icon set with the default GNOME icons [06:26] HulkHogan, I'll look into that, thank you. [06:27] what is the addy for uploading my htop screenshot. I am not sure what is vital and what can be stopped. [06:27] Newbeeans, imagebin.org is usually a common one [06:27] !screenshot | Starminn [06:27] sorry starminn [06:27] bobweaver, Not a problem. And ubottu's left the channel anyway === Anom01y is now known as Anom01y_ [06:28] cool I meant it for Newbeeans [06:28] * Starminn nods === radha is now known as indu [06:29] hi frnds [06:29] bobweaver: http://imagebin.org/182404 (or anyone else can look too) [06:29] how to remove the file in ubuntu what are commands using for remove [06:30] in rm [06:30] indu rm [06:30] Newbeeans, looks like mem is more of a issue then cpu [06:31] I wonder if it is using all the mem [06:31] brb sry [06:31] Newbeeans: firefox mem leak? [06:31] hi, this might be irrelavent but how do I stop getting messages like some one has quit or some one has joined the channel ? === Anom01y_ is now known as Anom01y___ [06:32] pshr: which client? [06:32] Newbeeans, please open terminal and type in uname -a && free -m and paste.ubuntu.com === newmember_ is now known as newmember [06:34] Newbeeans, looks like samba is taking up a bunh of mem [06:34] Using Ubuntu 11.10, Nautilus keeps replacing my icon set with GNOME default. This is only in Nautilus -- not the whole desktop. Assistance? [06:34] ok back ok on -m [06:34] Newbeeans, paste.ubuntu.com PLZ [06:35] i'm not getting anything ..command not found [06:35] just a sec [06:35] Oo [06:35] uname -a && free -m [06:36] Linux main-desktop 3.0.0-13-generic #21-Ubuntu SMP Mon Oct 17 20:18:51 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 1754 1643 110 0 22 222 -/+ buffers/cache: 1399 354 Swap: 5139 450 4689 [06:36] /exit [06:36] Newbeeans, 64 bit with only 2 gig mem ? [06:37] no way [06:37] Newbeeans, do you use samba all the time or something ? [06:37] where do usb webcams usually show up in /dev? [06:38] How do I get my bootup text back without pressing escape during bootup. I have a HTPC which i would love to watch bootup in the event of failures. I have removed quiet and splash from my default grub params, still a no go. [06:38] ActionParsnip: using webchat.freenode.net [06:38] I don't know what samba is...but it looks like the machine I bought for learning does show on sticker 2GB DDR3 [06:38] ActionParsnip: All these status messages from all the users are cluttering the real messages [06:39] Newbeeans, Yes free -m shows us that [06:40] I thought it might not be using all avail mem..but it is sadly === Anom01y___ is now known as Anom01y [06:41] pshr: not sure in the web client tbh [06:41] Newbeeans, whats your issue? [06:41] nonissue fleixius :) [06:41] hey ActionParsnip [06:41] just saying hi again :) [06:41] my brain is the problem I'm new :)) [06:42] Newbeeans: CONSOLE COMMANDS! :D [06:42] Free is a poor reference for available memory. [06:42] the best part of being new is the console commands... all the data just makes me melt with excitement. [06:43] I have to say when the command is good it excites me ...is that pitiful? [06:43] ActionParsnip: figured it out, tq [06:44] I wanted to mention I was able to fix my palmpre (accidently left it connected to pc during Ubuntu install) [06:44] Newbeeans, cO_ol [06:44] I was told it was linux based but i don't know if thats true [06:44] Newbeeans, do you know what sysv-rc-conf is ? [06:45] nope [06:45] or B.U.M [06:45] BUM is for bums [06:45] b.u.m. yes...doesn't work or leave my couch...no command correct it! [06:45] Newbeeans, they are tools to stop things or to start things on boot like samba [06:46] If you are going to teach him sysv, at least teach him update-rc,d [06:46] Ah [06:46] <~her [06:46] meh [06:47] fleixius, jusmp in and teanh [06:47] wow teach * [06:47] jump * [06:47] bobweaver: your typos are nothing...the other day I was asked if english was my first lang [06:48] :>) [06:48] fleixius, please teach us about update-rc [06:49] bobweaver, working on removing these screen artifacts after an autologin + mythtv with lightdm. It's kicking my arse. [06:49] I would like to do some flash development on Linux, is it possible? [06:49] tp43, certainly. [06:49] I used to do AIR devel on arch. [06:49] fleixius, great, can you forward me somewhere to get started? [06:49] wine is your friend ;-) [06:49] fleixius, well, i just wanted to simple stuff for webdesign [06:50] is it possible to run demos from command line interface? [06:50] divine9, time to install figlet ? [06:50] demos ? [06:50] tp43, But, you can certainly use eclipse if you want a full-blown IDE. [06:50] fleixius, yeah true that so had a good experience, did it cost money? [06:50] I have installed squid 2.7.STABLE9 on ubuntu 11.04. I need to block few sites by putting them in a text file. I searched docs. But couldn't fix. Please help [06:51] fleixius, well, no I dont want to go full blown for now, just a little bit [06:51] ever download a game, and the intro to the crack is an audio/visual experience? those are demos [06:51] divine9, by demos you mean presentations ? === Anom01y is now known as anom01y [06:51] tp43, Google up some flash development archives for ubuntu in google, you'll get hundreds of results. [06:52] fleixius, ok [06:52] It really depends if your going flash or actionscript.. [06:52] Newbeeans, I dont know about update rc I am sorry [06:52] me either [06:52] tp43, http://www.williambrownstreet.net/wordpress/?p=78 -> will guide you through most of it using a simple text editor, gedit. [06:52] Do you use text editor in Ubuntu to build a website? [06:52] fleixius, yeah, I don't know the difference, the flash site is overwhelming, and installing their prodcuts on linux is pain [06:53] o nvrmd...fleixius said it [06:53] Newbeeans, update-rc.d creates symbolic links between the bootup run levels and the actual startup scripts. [06:53] fleixius, thanks for the link. I would prefer to stick to text editors [06:53] tp43, check out sublime text 2 - bad ass text editor [06:53] hi [06:54] fleixius, really, good for html, css, php, and flash? Cause I've been using emacs, and its freezing on me when switch away and back for some reason === anom01y is now known as Anom01y [06:54] tp43, emacs..ugh...talk about old and out-dated. [06:54] what is emac? [06:54] i have installed xen from a binary package [06:55] emacs has some nice commands, like search and replace [06:55] Newbeeans, a text editor and more made by gnu [06:55] but i do see any new kernel in boot menu [06:55] !emacs [06:55] tp43, I do a lot of ruby/rails and metasploit development. It'll conquer just about anything. [06:55] Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) - Terminal-based: nano, vi/vim, emacs, ed - For HTML/CSS editors, see !html - For programming editors and IDE, see !code [06:55] o I thought it was from apple [06:55] I like less mouse involvemet [06:55] tp43, check out sublime. It's retarded awesome. [06:56] Newbeeans, nope I think that satallman made emacs [06:56] quite the oxymoron...love it fleixius [06:56] think is key word [06:56] Newbeeans, ;-) [06:56] Whats the difference betwee flash and as3? [06:57] any ideas/ [06:57] ? [06:57] tp43, let me put it this way, about 2 months in its alpa state the editor was far superior then most products which have been on the shelf for years. [06:58] os_: I think xen has its own console [06:58] allright fleixius I have to see this txt editor [06:58] AS handles most of the interactive pieces. AS will also enable you to use logic within your applications [06:58] os_: check the conse and try to boot from it [06:58] i recently upgraded my os. Atta ! ! i hate the how the menu and docs have changed. how do i retain the latest os upgrade with just reverting back the UI portion of it to the old state ? [06:59] fleixius this is freesoftware or opensource ? [06:59] solofight, Are you on 11.10 now or ... [06:59] bobweaver, it's a paid for app with an unlimited free trial. ;-) [06:59] marun, how to do this [06:59] not free as in beer [06:59] just a moment ! [07:00] The trial is unlimited, but I always pay my respect for good work ....beer is a wonderful by-product for good work [07:00] beer is great for opensource and foss [07:01] and fsf [07:01] However, I would urge single barrel bourbon any day of the week... [07:01] Hello anybody working on BBxM? [07:02] os_: got it? in the menu, u wil find xen menu item. click on that to open the console. Or, u can check xen --help for cmdline [07:02] Hello anybody working on BBxM? [07:03] how do I know that I'm running on 64-bit or 32 ? [07:03] ? [07:03] Islam, in console: "uname -m" [07:04] Islam, type arch in console [07:04] or the faithful uname :-) [07:04] for bit type : getconf LONG_BIT in ur terminal [07:04] ani, cool story bro. [07:05] thank you fleixius ! [07:05] Islam: i686 == 32bit. x86_64 == 64bit [07:05] Hey there! if would be nice to split particular tasks into different workspaces and not show it on another workspaces. Anyone know the right way in unity? [07:05] !idjc [07:05] fleixius, see the download link at http://www.williambrownstreet.net/wordpress/?p=78 for the flex sdk, it's dead now it seems, there's no Linux version there anymore [07:05] thanx guys [07:06] tp43, It's probably outdated. You'll have to do some old fashion research. [07:06] ActionParsnip: does it make a diffrence to have the 64 ? and can I have it any way ? [07:06] Can enyone please guide me with Internet DJ Console ? [07:06] Hello Anybody in there working on BeagleBoard xM [07:06] I havent worked on AIR in a bit. But I know its there. [07:07] ani, try going to #beagle [07:07] Ahhh, forget flex and flash and adobe [07:07] I can not find license for sublime looks real cool is it open source ? [07:07] Fleixius: I posted in Beagle but no replies [07:07] fleixius, lets see what stuff you do with ruby/rails [07:07] bobweaver, it's free. [07:08] fleixius, not price [07:08] bobweaver, It's an unlimited trial..just download and use it === Islam is now known as Islam__ === islam_ is now known as Islam [07:08] ani, try ##linux [07:08] It looks like they use github [07:08] thank you fleixius ! [07:08] fleixius, I try not to put that stuff on my computer [07:09] Who doesnt now-a-days. Git is superior and github makes my loins quiver. [07:09] Hello! I tried to install nvidia nonfree. Now, I only get screen garbage when trying to startup. How to revert? [07:09] Is there any place one could find the latest sun-java jre and jdk? Either a repository or debs would be cool [07:09] * bobweaver has love for the bazzar [07:09] Islam: if you have a 64bit CPU you can run either. High CPU intensive tasks benefit with 64bit. Standard desktop stuff doesn't see much [07:09] GeorgeJ: only oracle.com [07:09] GeorgeJ: everything else is not allowed anymore [07:09] GeorgeJ: www.java.com [07:10] not in medibuntu ? [07:10] bobweaver: no [07:10] Hi...Is there any live audio streamer available in UBuntu ? I want to stream music over wifi.(Where my pC will be transmitter and others with Desktops/laptops with wifi will be reciever) [07:10] thanks iceroot [07:10] bobweaver: not allowed anymore to distribut java [07:10] Aye, aye, I know. I just find it exremely uncol for them not to provide .debs >.> [07:10] GeorgeJ: say thank you to oracle [07:10] GeorgeJ: Linux (self-extracting file) filesize: 20.6 MB for 32bit from http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp [07:10] thanx guys [07:10] iceroot, more proprietary licenses ? [07:10] ActionParsnip, software written for 64bit benefits, nearly every software now-a-days has 64bit support. [07:10] marun, but there is not any xen item ! [07:11] bobweaver: they changed the licence so you are not allowed anymore to distribute java [07:11] Freaking oracle. Argh! [07:11] fleixius: its quite insignificant if the user is word processing and web browsing [07:11] GeorgeJ: yep, exactly [07:11] GeorgeJ: its not hard to install [07:11] ActionParsnip, doubtful, let me see you open an excel sheet with over 64k lines. [07:11] * bobweaver turns green [07:11] marun, i use kubuntu [07:11] Or a multi-megabyte access file ;-) [07:12] I know, it's not about that. I like everything clean, who knows what the installer will do the the filesystem. Rogue files everywhere! [07:12] fleixius: I bet the difference is about 5 seconds, which in human time is not a lot at all [07:12] Anyone to help ? [07:12] os_: hmm.. no idea [07:12] marun, maybe i have to compile xen [07:12] ActionParsnip, perhaps your not fully utilizing your computers potential..perhaps why the benefits are merely invisible to you. [07:13] fleixius: and hugs files like that would be classed as "High CPU intensive", right? [07:13] not install it as a deb package! [07:13] ActionParsnip: 5 seconds? you mean 5ms :) [07:13] ActionParsnip, No, 64bit doesnt mean HIGH CPU. It means a kernel that can support over 32bits of data. [07:13] * bobweaver is marching on oracale [07:13] fleixius: I know what it means [07:14] I've created a bin folder in my $HOME. .profile should add it to $PATH, but when I open a terimnal, $PATH doesn't contain $HOME\bin. Is .profile just for terminal logins? How can I add $HOME\bin to $PATH automaticaly when I open a terminal(ctrl+alt+t)? [07:14] fleixius: for a user whom is web browsing and emailing the difference between 64bt and 32bit will be hardly noticable at all === AdminSetup is now known as Amdpc [07:14] Actionparsnip: I got that reply on the terminal, does that mean I have a 64 cpu ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/727939/ [07:14] bashrc ? [07:14] I just created a html page...text editors are powerful lil things :D [07:14] GeorgeJ: to ~/.bashrc add the line: export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin [07:15] Allright, so .bashrc gets executed. Thanks! === indu is now known as swetha [07:15] hi frnd [07:15] GeorgeJ: you can then run: source ~/.bashrc and it will be applied from then onwards [07:16] Actionparsnip: I got that reply on the terminal, does that mean I have a 64 cpu ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/727939/ [07:16] how to remove the file which command using [07:16] well I learned 2 things tonight...back tomorrow for more tidbits gn lovely ppl [07:16] ActionParsnip: Aye, tyvm [07:16] Islam: it says dtes64 so more than likely [07:17] ActionParsnip: so thats a yes ? [07:17] Islam: if you find out what your CPU is using: cat /proc/cpuinfo you can use the web to find out [07:17] Islam, why not just run arch or uname -m? [07:17] ActionParsnip: Islam lm is the important flag which says the cpu is amd64 [07:17] fleixius: uname -m isn't necessarily the arch of the CPU, which is what is desired [07:17] fleixius: uname is not reading the hardware-architecutre, its reading the kernel-architecutre and does not say what your hardware can do [07:18] Hmm, wouldn't I first have to remove openjdk before installing the oracle jdk? [07:18] GeorgeJ: no [07:18] ok I have ubuntu 11.10 32-bit, how do I upgrade to the 64 ? [07:18] Understandably, but for most-users it whom don't know how to decide which arch (being 32/64) their system is running, it'll do fine. [07:19] hi......... [07:19] Oh, great. But then I'd have to switch binaries, no? Is this dnone with update-alternatives? [07:19] Islam: reinstall [07:19] hi swetha you can remove file from rm command [07:19] Islam: you cant upgrade the architecture [07:20] GeorgeJ: dont know if it is detecting your manually installed sun-java but yes that is normally the step [07:20] iceroot: how ? and reinstalling the 64-bit will matter that much ? I mean will it make a big diffrence with me ? [07:20] Islam: only if you have more then ~4gb ram [07:20] iceroot: nope I got 3GB ram [07:21] Islam: ram + vga-ram + bus [07:21] graypatpy: im using this one rm etc/init.d/openbravo-postgresql [07:21] graypa:it's nt remove [07:21] Islam: then there is no real reason if this means to install amd64. if it is a fresh system i would reinstall, if the system is already running i would run with 32bit [07:21] try sudo rm etc/init.d/openbravo-postgresql [07:22] Hmm, does glassfish work with openjdk? [07:22] hi all, i have a great problem with a partition on my system withe a triple boot [07:22] with* [07:23] iceroot: so you say it wouldnt make a big difference with my 3GB ram, so you recommend me not to reinstall [07:23] Islam: if you dont plan to upgrade your ram, everything is fine [07:23] Islam: but if it is a fresh installation i would reinstall [07:24] Islam: but there is no difference you will see, just the ram-size [07:24] swetha try $ sudo apt-get remove openbravo-3 [07:25] iceroot: so you recommend the 64-bit ubuntu for me [07:25] this is my situation with gparted --> http://imageshack.us/f/26/schermatadel20111104082.png/ [07:25] Islam: amd64 is always recommend when the hadware supports it [07:25] is there an ideal partition table for installing ubuntu netbook10.10 for it to boot ightning fast? [07:25] the last partition sda5 i can use it with ubuntu and with lion but not with windows7 [07:26] rickyrich: ##windows [07:26] iceroot: but with the 3gb is it still strongly recommended ? [07:26] iceroot: maybe here someone can help me [07:26] I have setup my ubuntu and installed some packages and did some configurations. Now I want to save the current system state and maybe later restore to this particular state if I screw up. What should I do? [07:26] iceroot: 3GB ram [07:26] swetha try this link for more information on uninstalling postgresql http://wiki.openbravo.com/wiki/Installation/Ubuntu:_advanced_topics [07:26] rickyrich: no [07:26] rickyrich: its related to windows because you need a driver for windows to read that type of filesystem [07:27] Islam: its always recommend to use amd64 [07:28] Islam: but if you dont plan to upgrade your ram or vga-card (with more ram) there is no reason to reinstall if the system is already in usage === Vyas is now known as VyasKadkol [07:28] what is the best partition table for ubuntu netbook 10.10? === newmember_ is now known as newmember [07:28] alvin2_: the one the installer is suggesting [07:28] iceroot: thatnx mate, I really appreciate your help, your answers was very helpful,, thanx alot [07:28] alvin2_: if you mean partition-layout [07:28] Islam: you are welcome [07:29] iceroot: i have windogs 7 and dual booting with une10.10 , i need to do it manually :D [07:29] hi i need help since libreoffice is not starting in ubuntu 11.10 [07:30] minsik: what is the error when starting it from the shell? [07:30] minisk : do u get any kind of error message when you try to start it? [07:30] iceroot: i want to know what is the best partition layout for ubuntu to boot as fast as it can [07:30] iceroot: if i open in shell (using libreoffice --impress or something), it says that The Application cannot be started. [context="shared"] caught unexpected exception'. [07:31] alvin2_: the layout has nothing to do with boot-speed [07:31] minsik: nothing more? [07:31] iceroot: if so where? [07:31] i recently upgraded my os. Atta ! ! i hate the how the menu and docs have changed. how do i retain the latest os upgrade with just reverting back the UI portion of it to the old state ? [07:31] iceroot: i've bug filed (#885077), but I think it should be something related to upgrading to oneiric, since the problem occurred after upgrading ubuntu from natty to oneiric. [07:31] alvin2_: hm libreoffice doesnt have a debug-mode [07:31] any suggest? :( [07:32] alvin2_: sorry wrong nick [07:32] alvin2_: put / on SSD and swap /var /tmp and /home on a platter based partition. Makes things nice [07:32] minsik: seems like libreoffice doesnt have a debug-mode, maybe the overkill "strace" is helping to find the reason [07:32] minsik: what is ur h/w config? [07:32] iceroot: got it... :) i've uninstall and re installed it, but same... [07:33] am using ubuntu 11.10 now [07:33] ^^ [07:33] iceroot: whatz 'strace' [07:33] arun_mummidi: i3-390m with AMD graphic card [07:33] how to get info about my vga ? I know my ram is 3GB, how to know my vga ? [07:33] minsik: i would suggest to run "strace libreoffice --impress 2> libreoffice-strace.log" and append it to the bug [07:33] minsik: debugging tool (not installed by default) [07:33] iceroot: ok thanks :) i'll do that [07:34] minsik: sudo apt-get install strace [07:34] ActionParsnip: ouch! i don't have SSD , just a harddisk and i have windogs7 with it, [07:34] backbuntu 0.2 upgrade?

If you had 2gb ram or more you would use the same amount [07:40] alvin2_: have you considered buying more ram. You could double your ram for very cheap [07:41] I have an issue where my speakers on my laptop are not put in the right settings where only the built in subwoofer is playing audio and i can't find the graphic equalizer which lets me tell the audio which speakers to go to ... any idea ?

The wireless device does not show up in ifconfig. lshw shows me that my wireless card is a BCM4311 device. I don't have any means to connect via ethernet either (I am chatting from a different machine) so I tried the 'STA - No Intenet Access' method as described in the documentation: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#STA_-_No_Internet_access [08:00] hi [08:00] However, running System->Additional Drivers doesn't show any new drivers available for install. Can someone please tell me how to proceed? [08:00] tty1-7 OK? [08:00] Hannofcart: It would only work if you're on ethernet [08:00] !broadcom | Hannofcart [08:00] Hannofcart: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [08:01] what does it mean if my login fails and all it says is "lsb_release command not found" and "module unknown" ? [08:01] auronandace: That link is the same I quoted in mu question and it is the without internet method (using packages from the installation media) [08:02] Hannofcart: oops, sorry [08:02] !offline | Hannofcart [08:02] Hannofcart: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script.

[08:05] auronandace, I have successfully installed the driver packages. What I have left to be doing is setup the drivers. The instructions ask me to use the Additional Drivers GUI app. Isnt there someway I can do it from the shell, using kldload or something? [08:06] sadly its not showin up on lspci [08:06] Hannofcart: i would have thought it was just a case of loading the driver if you have it installed [08:06] auronandace, yes, can you please tell me how to do that? [08:07] Hannofcart: sudo modprobe nameofdriver [08:07] i think [08:07] ah... ok, lemme try [08:07] Hannofcart: lsmod should give you a list of what is already loaded [08:08] Please I really need some help.

[08:09] the modem's an Conexant Modem [08:10] alvin2: It's for temporary files, and you shouldn't really need one [08:10] alvin2, /tmp is a temporary storage area used by the operating system [08:10] hi [08:10] hi [08:10] Hannofcart: sorry i can't help further, my wireless is intel which has always worked straight out the box [08:11] auronandace: hi [08:11] Hannofcart, what card do you have? can you pastebin the output of that lshw -C network command?

[08:12] alvin2: You can... [08:12] alvin2: I see no point at all though [08:12] alvin2: Unless you're running a massive server of some sort [08:12] skandranon: No problem, sorry I couldn't really help >.< [08:12] theadmin: ahh i see :D thanks [08:12] theadmin: hmm it turned out not to have channel tuning .. :(* [08:13] alvin2: You should read more about FHS to see what is what [08:13] hi. how do i disable escape sequences on the console? that is, i just want a regular escape key [08:13] it only had 2 channels and no subwoofer adjustment :( [08:13] phlak_user, i am afraid i cant do that. I am installing on another machine. And the only way i can connect to it using wireless, which is what i need to setup :) The device is a BCM4311 [08:13] Adriannom: umm, I don't think you can [08:13] Hannofcart, ah the bcm4311 :) we helped someone with that yesterday [08:14] got to clean install 10.10 again :D BTW, how can i install netbook-launcher-efl completely without problems?

[08:14] oh cool thank u theadmin :-) [08:14] alvin2: Maybe you would install 11.10? [08:14] phlak_user, any chance i can persuade you to do it again? :) or probably pastebin a chatlog of yesterdays conversation? [08:14] theadmin, oh... :s [08:15] Hannofcart, ok here goes [08:15] theadmin, that's... stupid... [08:15] Hannofcart, do an apt-get update [08:15] Hannofcart, and then sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer [08:15] Adriannom: What exactly is? The keycode the escape key produces is the only thing it can do, anyway [08:16] theadmin, sure, but it's the terminal that's choosing what to do with it right? [08:16] Adriannom: It's the app running in it. [08:16] phlak_user, I am not able to connect that machine using ethernet (I dont have a wire :P) [08:16] Adriannom: Say, less would interpret that keycode as "exit" [08:16] phlak_user, I can get the packages and install it using usb [08:16] theadmin, nah the app wants a basic escape [08:16] how can i start my ubuntu 11.10 again currently i am not able to start my OS [08:16] thnks! [08:16] how can i disaple input correction? [08:16] Hannofcart, so get this one [08:17] Adriannom: What is a basic escape, anyway, in your opinion? [08:17] !info firmware-b43-installer | Hannofcart [08:17] Hannofcart: firmware-b43-installer (source: b43-fwcutter): Installer package for firmware for the b43 driver.

It would need network, I beleive [08:17] theadmin, i only just found out about escape sequences, so i want an escape key where they don't exist ;) [08:17] \o/ theadmin \o/ [08:18] theadmin, so that i can use an app that binds something to the escape key, something used a lot [08:18] harisund, you gotta hit some hot keys during boot to get to grub shell and then there are a bunch of movies such as try single user mode]\ [08:18] theadmin, the logic is that you need to install this and remove the incorrect driver (bcmwl) [08:18] Adriannom: Ah, well... hm... [08:18] harsh343, a black screen? [08:18] JapyDooge: yo [08:18] shubbar, yes [08:18] how do i create a new virtual machine in xen? [08:18] yoyo [08:18] good morning =) [08:18] harsh343: I gues your boot config file is corrupt. check /boot/grub/grub.cfg (after booting through live cd). It should contain atleast one line similar to linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-8-generic root=UUID=F442446282442808 loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ro quiet splash [08:18] harsh343, i faced that ... let me look up the bug [08:19] Adriannom: You can try killing the escape key whatsoever and then binding... [08:19] Adriannom, i guess one solution is to run xp in virtualbox and use dos, but that's disgusting ;o [08:19] os_: is there a #xen channel you could ask in? [08:19] theadmin, sounds good, any idea where i can start? [08:19] auronandace, just wondering, what other os you running [08:19] phlak_user, thanks. i'll try it [08:19] auronandace, sorry [08:19] hello [08:19] Adriannom: Well, I think the idea is something like: xmodmap -e 'keysym esc=', not sure what's the proper name for the escape key though [08:20] arun_mummidi: it sounds to me as if he can boot but the screen goes blank (graphics problem (not grub)) [08:20] hey people [08:20] harsh343, the is the bug and fix https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dbus/+bug/811441 [08:20] Launchpad bug 858122 in sysvinit (Ubuntu Precise) "duplicate for #811441 incomplete migration to /run (shutdown script order has been demolished)" [High,Triaged] === Berg is now known as Guest47890 [08:20] tp43: i run xubuntu, arch, haiku, pcbsd and windows [08:20] my scree goes blank, now I use external monitor [08:20] thanks theadmin [08:21] auronandace: haiku?

[10:07] DarsVaeda: easy way would be to use a dock like awn or others [10:07] !dock [10:07] Ubuntu includes several dock-like navigation bars. Some options are: avant-window-navigator, cairo-dock, docky (formerly part of gnome-do), stalonetray, simdock, kdocker, kooldock. [10:07] i mean dock* [10:07] okay thanks I'll look into that [10:08] harsh343: What next is up to you, you could reinstall ubuntu over the top of the old install, it might even offer a repair. The choice is your. [10:09] iceroot: intel i3 [10:09] iceroot: basically I am getting the busybox shell and it says unable to find live file system. [10:09] is there any kernel parameter which I need to pass and how? [10:09] how can i repair because now i donot want to reinstall (total 5time i reinstall ubuntu due to some problem) [10:10] harsh343: What happens when you boot your machine, Do you see the grub prompt to select ubuntu [10:10] dr_willis: but a dock is more like a replacement of unity? or do I get this wrong [10:11] when i start my system thenafter 2 options occurs mainly try ubuntu and install ubuntu right now i copy all my important material through try ubuntu [10:11] iceroot: r u there? I had got disconnected. [10:12] harsh343: what happens if your boot from the HD after removing the CD?

[10:15] means i am not able to see the start ubuntu but i have some option in boot, like ubuntu 11.10 and recovery and my other os window 7 [10:15] q_a_z_steve: yes they are cds from canonical and they work on all other machines. [10:15] 3 options occur when i start my system [10:15] hi, could You please advise which library I can use for simple 2d physics simulation? [10:15] harsh343: That better, What do get if you select recovery? [10:16] kk_10101: But I mean have you run the utility to check the contents [10:16] if i select recovery then commands screen appears and they execute there own command after 2-3 mnts nothing new happens [10:16] means i think hang [10:17] q_a_z_steve: and I guess this is some thing known but I am not getting exact solution === nils- is now known as nils_ [10:17] Does it give you a prompt % at all, what's the last message on the screen? [10:18] kk_10101: when you first start the boot and see the weird blurry icons on the bottom of the screen hit F8 [10:18] q_a_z_steve: then? [10:19] kk_10101: Then you'll see the option to which I am referring. Run it. [10:19] hello every one [10:19] is there a way to adjust the treble of the internal speakers on my laptop ???????? [10:19] q_a_z_steve: sorry I think i missed some of your messages then, which option you recommend to run? [10:20] kk_10101: It's called something like Check contents of the CD [10:20] localg0d: what have you tried? [10:21] puvac or wutever [10:21] q_a_z_steve: Do you think that will work? [10:22] I've set up an Ubuntu box as a router between two networks. 192.168.199.0/24 is on eth0 and 192.168.111.0/24 is on eth1. I've enabled ip forwarding and I can ping between the networks. The 199 network is effectively the WAN and there's a route to 192.168.199.253 which is the gateway to the internet. My question - when I enable NAT with iptables -t nat --append POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE everything dies. [10:22] q_a_z_steve: coz, the cds are working absolutely perfect elsewhere [10:22] kk_10101: some cd drives are pissy [10:22] just installed 12.04 pre-pre-alpha [10:22] Either iptables -t nat --append POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE is wrong or I'm missing a step which Google isn't helping me find. [10:23] but my system information show that am still using the old ver 11.10 [10:23] kk_10101: individual disks in individual drives have issues. [10:25] puvac or wutever [10:25] atif: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue [10:25] sorry am not technical [10:25] and why are you testing a pre alpha then? [10:26] was just curious about it so could not wait [10:26] Where can I download the 11.04 install iso? [10:26] They're the best testers. [10:27] hi i am installed ubuntu 11.04 in my pc ,but its slowdown my pc,i have mechine with 1gb ram intel p4 processor,what is the reason behind this? [10:27] i have noise in second monitor [10:27] arunm: check what eats your resources [10:27] it might help to use a window-manager with a smaller mem-footprint [10:29] odb|fidel:how to check that can you please?

I putted "blacklist i915" into /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf, but lsmod still shows i915 module loaded after reboot. [10:30] i have a big problem [10:30] hi, i'm plugging a USB ticket printer on a Ubuntu OS Oneiric, and cdc_adm module is registering the printer as if it was an ACM modem... ¿how i can fix this? [10:30] i have samsung SF510 and have problem with second monitor and show image with tiny wave [10:31] jeus: i guess that article might help you asking "improved" questions: http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html [10:32] odb|fidel, TNX [10:32] Can I haz answerz now pease [10:33] odb|fidel, i read thi 3 years ago [10:34] RandomRoger: To What [10:34] but my problem is very shit . odb|fidel [10:34] jeus: please talk to the channel and not single persons & good luck - gonna put you on ignore now ;) [10:34] Thanks deej1976, I was making a joke and typed in the wrong channel. My bad. [10:37] hello,are there known issues on using ubuntu ona vm? [10:38] obert-: depends what type of vm === administrator is now known as Guest60093 [10:39] obert-: the short answer is "no" any bugs are normally the problem of the VM - not the guest [10:39] salut [10:39] ikonia: mah..thanks [10:40] hi everyone === moe is now known as Guest24546 [10:41] i just install ubuntu 11.04 [10:41] ikonia: then i must think that i got issues and i should try to re-install the guest os at least. the vm is vmware [10:41] Does this new kind of menu (on the top row, with unity) have a name I can refer to it by? [10:41] when connect my network cable , seems don't detect it [10:41] so i can't surf the internet ,i am using acer [10:42] Halabund: global-menu [10:42] deej1976, thanks [10:42] please don't u have a solution ? [10:43] bobot: check the output of: ifconfig [10:43] ok [10:44] bobot: check if your lan internaface (most likely en0 or similar) has an ip-adress - if so: check if its one which makes sense ;) [10:44] *eth0* [10:44] ifconfig or ipconfig ? [10:44] ok [10:44] ipconfig is a windows-cmd [10:44] anyone here have used pen with apache for load balancing? [10:45] so: ifconfig ;) [10:45] ok [10:48] the line eth0 don't have an adress ip [10:48] just wlan and lo have it [10:49] odb |fidel are there ? [10:49] well - i would check /etc/network/interfaces now [10:49] ok [10:50] Halabund: And if you don't like google for removing/disabling it. [10:51] deej1976, it's fine for as long as it works. (It doesn't show at all in gVim) [10:53] Hey guys [10:54] Any ideas about this, anyone? --> http://askubuntu.com/questions/75395/poor-sound-quality-on-ubuntu-compared-to-winxp-why [10:55] no way to get answer in the terminal [10:55] bobot: ? [10:55] this is why i tape : /ect/network/interfaces [10:55] you should check the content of that file and fix it if needed [10:56] so ... its not a cmd - its a path to a file [10:56] hi [10:56] I'm new here... [10:56] ok , check it now [10:56] first time Xubuntu on my PC... :) [10:57] hello @all [10:58] m alone here? [10:58] i got the file [10:58] auto lo [10:58] iface lo inet loopback [10:58] bobot: dont paste the file [10:58] check if there is a configuration for your eth0 [10:59] OK bye friends.....still loads of configuration/updates :\ [10:59] if not - ask yourself if you need a static or a dnyamic config [10:59] google for examples - add the matching one and see what happens [10:59] ok [11:00] i need some help :( [11:00] Halabund: The sound chip producer often delivers drivers for XP with some extended functionality (Dolby and equalizing) which isn't used under ubuntu. You could check if you can find a better driver for your card. [11:00] christian__: asking for help is a bad idea [11:01] start with a problem description - as detailed & complete as possible [11:01] and hope someone is willing to spend some time ;) [11:01] fmauro, thanks. Do you have any suggestions on *where* to look for the driver? It seems to be a very common model [11:02] i see , i need a dynamic ip , i got your method , and have and idea to configure it [11:02] Halabund: I don't but rather I'd try to use the current driver and try to equalize it through the software you're using, as replacing the driver can get nasty pretty fast [11:02] thand [11:02] thanks [11:02] ok let me explain my problem ^^ : i am running a program that wants to create a bridge for tap0 and eth0, but it always says : [11:02] Let's wait until qemu is ready... (qemu is the base of the program, it uses modified qemu source) [11:02] can't add tap0 to bridge eth0: Operation not supported [11:02] /etc/qemu-ifup: could not launch network script [11:02] Could not initialize device 'tap' [11:02] christian__: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:03] sry i didnt want to flood, i just wanted to format my message [11:03] Does anyone know how to prevent gnome-terminal from capturing the F1 key? I'd like to pass the keystroke to the console program I'm running! (Edit -> Keyboard shortcuts seems to be only a list, but it's not editable) [11:03] why cant it add tap0 to bridge eth0 :/ [11:03] i want that tap0 uses the internet connection of eth0 [11:04] Halabund: the list *is* editable [11:05] jrib, can you please tell me HOW to edit it ... ? [11:05] okay, got it [11:05] have to click in the SECOND column [11:05] Halabund: click on the right column after selecting the appropriate row. Then you can hit a new key or just hit backspace [11:05] not the first [11:06] Guess I've been a little hasty connecting my firewall to the net [11:07] /win 13 [11:07] deej1976, there ? [11:07] loss 13 [11:08] harsh343: yep [11:08] anyone have a problem where it won't let you move one application to a new workspace?

I wish to do this [11:23] . === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo [11:23] . [11:25] SwashBuckla: dont give them sudo rights [11:25] :) [11:25] Tervehdys! [11:25] Opinnäytetyöni on ymmärtääkseni nyt tarkastamista vaille valmis. Ohjaajani on Maritta Hoffrén. Olisin erittäin mielelläni valmistumassa marraskuun aikana, mutta tajusin, että minulta puuttuu vielä Seminaari 2 ja Kvalitatiiviset menetelmät. [11:25] req^: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:25] Opinnäytetyökansiostani löydän Kvalitatiivisten menetelmien raportin, mutta sitä ei näy Moodlessa palautuksena. Mielestäni palautin sen jo kerran, mutta laitanko sen moodleen, että saisin tuon merkityksi? [11:25] Hey all [11:25] create an account without sudo rights [11:27] Hello [11:27] I’ve just found a bug in the Free Mono font. Does anybody know where I can report it? [11:27] Gentoo64: yeah obviously [11:27] SwashBuckla: look at sabayon, bastille [11:27] fixed! just selected left panel, then chose my imap section [11:27] SwashBuckla: what do they need to do? [11:27] they just need to browse the internet [11:27] Apologies for my paste flood, right clicking accident (I disabled as soon as I did that)! [11:27] and open office [11:27] that is all [11:28] no customising the browser [11:28] SwashBuckla: and pessulus [11:28] SwashBuckla: not sure if theres an easy way [11:28] without using some access control [11:28] I may end up using something like Archlinux as it's much easier to customise [11:29] i dont think itll make it easier for what you need [11:29] hey all [11:30] Gentoo64: I think it will make it MUCH easier [11:30] how do i change start of a week to Monday? [11:30] how? [11:30] (on ubuntu 11.10) [11:30] SwashBuckla: arch wont prevent anyone doing stuff [11:30] Gentoo64: step 1) only install what you need (firefox and libreoffice) [11:30] SwashBuckla: but it would probbaly be a better start (more clean) [11:30] SwashBuckla: in gnome 2 days there were pretty good guides to locking down and using pessulus on library.gnome.org [11:31] step 2) write your own desktop environment [11:31] SwashBuckla: but to prevent them changing things, youd need (afaik) some access cntrol [11:31] none of that is going to prevent them from modifying firefox [11:31] step 3) have some slim login manager and boot to init 5 so they can't spawn terminal [11:31] velcroshooz: then lock down firefox as per http://www.pcc-services.com/kixtart/firefox-lockdown.html [11:31] (step 4) [11:32] SwashBuckla: why are you just answering your own question and spamming the channel with it? Please stop [11:32] i would set up grsecurity(easy) and rbac, but youd need to customise the profiles for each app [11:32] i was wondering that as well .. if you have a plan, why not implement it [11:32] thatd give you strict control [11:32] hi [11:33] jrib, velcroshooz: I first asked if it could be done with Ubuntu (saving me the effort). Nobody could answer me, so I provided my own solution for criticism/review. [11:33] SwashBuckla: but just because arch would be more minimal, wont stop people using stuff [11:33] SwashBuckla: that's fine to do. But don't spam the channel with it; just write it on one line or use a pastebin if there are many details [11:33] Gentoo64: "stuff"? [11:33] yeah.. by default: "anything" [11:33] jrib: ok, I'll do this next time. [11:34] has anyone successfully compiled ldap on ubunt, I can't get past configure [11:34] Gentoo64: please explain what you mean by "stuff"? [11:34] SwashBuckla: well i agree with the arch approach in this case - building up rather than trimming down seems to be more suited to your case [11:34] SwashBuckla: you want restriced access right? [11:35] Gentoo64: right [11:35] so chromium gives users the ability to customize, as by default chromium has access to a lot of files [11:35] youd need to restrict that === Kartagis is now known as suigeneris [11:36] he has stated he is using firefox and has links to lock it down .. === sins-- is now known as sins- [11:37] yeah I haven't looked into locking down chromium. If it's easier than locking down firefox, fine, I'll use that. [11:37] stick with ff if you have a solution === suigeneris is now known as Kartagis [11:41] hello, I am trying to mount an iso file in fstab but i am getting an error, here is the line i added /home/uname/something.iso /mnt/isomnt iso9660 ro,loop,auto 0 0, thanks in advance [11:45] hi [11:46] i have a problem . my totem movie player is only playing sounds of the videos but no visuals are being displayed [11:46] server irc.epiknet.org [11:47] what happens if i am running 10.10 and software updater says there is a new version and i click UPGRADE? will i lose all my data or will it upgrade to newest ubuntu ? [11:47] atif open the software center and download vlc and the codecs [11:47] xero771: whats the exact line? you are doing this from fstab? [11:48] ok [11:48] atif: what sort of video file is this? where did it come from? [11:48] chaospsychex: wont lose your data unless something totally dies - backups are always best, but i just did the same thing last night and lost nothing. [11:49] @dr_willis i am trying to mount an iso image after system start up [11:49] xero771: so whats the exaqct command line you are using? [11:49] chaospsychex: the upgrade will tell you what apps are being upgraded, removed, and what is not supported anymore, you can make the decision from there. [11:49] am playing youtube videos [11:50] but just sounds are coming no display of videos [11:50] atif: you arew refering to videos In the browser then at youtube.com ? [11:50] only blank screen [11:50] nothing just sudo nano /etc/fstab and adding this line /home/myusername/example.iso /mnt/isomnt iso9660 ro,loop,auto 0 0 [11:50] no i imported videos in totem [11:51] xero771: whats the error if you try to do a 'sudo mount /mnt/isomnt' [11:51] can i use DD to make a usb boot from iso ? [11:51] chaospsychex: that works with 11.10, but not earlier ubuntu releases [11:51] @atif can you give us the file extention and tell us did u update your distro? [11:51] hey, was there a samba update lately that overwritten the smb.conf file? [11:51] dr_willis: how ? [11:51] chaospsychex: dd if=foo.iso of=/dev/sdXX [11:51] ah shit , the server runs fedora [11:51] nvm [11:52] basic dd ussage. [11:52] !swear [11:52] chaospsychex: actually it may be of=/dev/sdx ie: sda, not sda1 [11:52] well just downloded pre pre release of ubuntu 12.04 [11:52] may b its a bug [11:52] atif: why would you be using that at this timne? [11:52] hi someone knowk how after creating a new user , generate a file in the /home/user directory? (automatically) [11:52] after all its not even the alpha [11:52] @dr_willis after rebooting it gives me two option either skip S or M for manual maintenance and says it failed to mount in /mnt/isomnt (my iso mount point) [11:53] was just damn curious :) [11:53] this is not the channel to be asking for help with that version regardless [11:53] wasted my time [11:53] now will have to go alalong removing and installing 11.10 again [11:53] thats what virtualbox is for.. testing things. :) [11:54] very right [11:54] @dr_willis i think i do have a clue on what's really going on, the /mnt/isomnt dir exists but when i ls my /home/username it doesn't view any of my files but rather a README.TXT and access-your-private-data.desktop [11:54] does 11.10 support the b43 wireless card? my wifi card would work out of the box in 10.10 but when i tried 11.04 it wouldnt. will it work out of the box for 11.10 ?

[11:56] as far as i know all b43* need addational firmware [11:57] dr_willis: didn't need additional firmware with 10.10 [11:57] chaospsychex: i recall needing it with 10.10 also.

[12:09] the order in fstab does not matter [12:09] dr_willis, ok worked it out, talk about hidden heh [12:09] at least not that ive ever seen [12:09] i put my line at the end of the file and it doesn't read my /home/user [12:10] hidden? its right there in the menus...

[12:10] yes [12:10] xero771: mount the iso to /media/iso file and just make a link from /home/whatever/iso to it... [12:10] I cant recall ever seeing the order in fstab matter. [12:11] meric: can you use the "sudo" command? [12:11] my feather wallpaper i gone! trains are good too. incremental update from 10.10 to 11.10 went flawless on my laptop .. a macbook even. ;) === burlynn is now known as velcroshooz [12:13] dr_willis: does changing the mount point from /mnt/myfile to /media matter? [12:13] Stanly00: Yes I am using sudo [12:14] dr_willis: i think the main problem is that ubuntu isn't even reading my contents in /home/user when i ls from the recovery terminal it doesn't show anything or my folders [12:14] xero771: you are thinking that having the mountpoint be on a subdirectory on a nother mountmoint is the issue.. if you use /media or /mnt/whatever it would not be doing that.. so try it and see [12:14] dr_willis: alright [12:14] xero771: your users home is not encrypted is it? THAT could be an issue.. [12:14] its not [12:14] id just set up links to /media/whatever personally.. [12:15] just installed the system and ignored the ecryption [12:15] not much to gain by having it in /home/bubba/iso vs a link to it. [12:15] Stanly00: the error given is "mounting failed..invalid argument" its invalid because its not seeing it === heidar_ is now known as heidar [12:16] i will try to encrypt the /home/user dir and see [12:16] brb in 10-15^^ [12:16] xero771: i did not say to encrypt home... [12:16] hmm [12:16] xero771: in fact encrypting it could cause issues.. [12:16] well when i ls my home i get two files [12:17] which are? [12:17] README.TXT and access-your-private-data.desktop [12:17] * dr_willis is going to guess tha tyour home IS encrypted.. and thats the issue [12:17] the readme was talking about ecrypt-something-private command and i ran it and said its not setup properly [12:18] so mount the iso to /media/iso and link it.. is the easy thing.. [12:18] to do. [12:18] somnthing is very weiord with your system then if all you see in your current home is those files. [12:18] how do i neable an accesible local address for pen to be run on port 80 while apache is doing to? so both access from diferent local addresses? [12:19] i really didn't change anything in the config files... [12:19] using 11.04 btw [12:19] xero771: as a test. boot a live cd.. see whats in the home dir.. if its not encrypted you should see the normal files.. if it is encrypted.. well im guessing you would see those 2 files. [12:19] ok brb [12:20] * dr_willis is guessing hes got an encrypted home.. somehow. [12:20] anyone know what the character is to denote a comment in Conky? [12:21] lol [12:21] or just create another user and see if they can see your files === M4rc3l is now known as zz_M4rc3l [12:22] i never use the encrypted home stuf. :) [12:23] meric: sorry, you type my name wrong so I cant get the highlight, so what is the command you use to mount?

[13:20] Panagiotis13 Really? [13:20] helpless767, no, I don't really know why - mine used to do it a bit but it stopped, I use 2D now though to save my resources. [13:21] how do i install my graphic card's drivers???????/ [13:21] okey listen, google for something called hplip-3.11.10 [13:21] I have a Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910 [13:21] Panagiotis13 Ok :) [13:21] I’d like to make a bug report about the truetype font Free Mono. On #debian, they said to use reportbug, but that program doesn’t seem to work on Ubuntu. What should I do? [13:21] Panagiotis13 Done [13:21] JoFo, ubuntu-bug [13:21] jasef, seems to me like a real bug anyways. Maybe I'll post it into bug tracker.... [13:22] New Ubuntu freezes after login, why? Help available? [13:22] myung: intel drivers are free software and included by default in the install [13:22] phox_: Assuming you're using apache, you could look at the documentation for mod_dir, or the DirectoryIndex, which I *think* is what you're after. If you've got an index.[html|htm|php] in the folder, apache may be serving that back instaed of showing index of files. [13:22] jasef, ok thx for now. Got to get sth to eat ;) Bye === jason is now known as Guest1785 [13:22] Panagiotis13 By the way... Is that some sort of driver? === Guest1785 is now known as jasef [13:23] helpless767, -.-. Sorry, my SOCKS proxy on my ubuntu server got disconnected [13:23] Thelmaria: I am using apache. The second I add a file to the www-folder, i see it in the browser, but the link to a folder on a different drive it doesnt even show. Maybe it's just not possible? [13:23] jasef, no problem ;) I'll try 2d session for now [13:24] jasef, who is away, suggested me to use ubuntu-bug. But as far as I understand, Free Mono comes from Debian, not from Ubuntu. [13:24] JoFo, you can still report the bug, it'll be taken upstream if it has to be. [13:24] 11.10 is refusing to wake from automatic sleep/suspend for me - anyone had similar issues? [13:24] ubuntu 11.11 recognized my wireless usb adapter [13:24] *11.10 [13:25] helpless767, I used to use Gnome3 as an alternative - works really nicely, except it ate too much of my RAM and battery, so I use Unity2D now. === max_ is now known as Visionaire [13:25] jasef: OK. (I didn’t see you were back.) [13:25] phox_: According to the apache docs, "The directive will follow the symbolic link without resetting the pathname" - so I'd guess it's possible, and that it's a misconfiguration issue - it's not something I have currently got running, though, so I dont know if I can be much more help. I'm virtually certain it's possible, though. [13:25] 11.10 freezes just after login, any insight? [13:26] helpless767, so if Unity keeps crashing, you could try Gnome3 and see how that works, "sudo apt-get install gnome-shell" [13:26] phox_: You could always ask in #apache. :) [13:26] hello everyone! i'm wondering.. how can i choose which services start running on boot, or manually? [13:26] Thelmaria, ok ill do that =) [13:26] jasef, battery comsume is too high on my side to.... But this is due to the lag of optimus support [13:26] when i try to execute a command using the Administrators password it says authentication error ? [13:26] helpless, took me hours to make scripts to send acpi commands by hand really annoying ... [13:27] jasef, took me hours to make scripts to send acpi commands by hand really annoying ... [13:27] i installed 11.10 then made a standard user account and i can't use sudo with the admin password? [13:27] chaospsychex: sudo works with your users passwd, not admin [13:28] helpless767, lol, well my power consumption seems a LITTLE better since my most recent kernel update... don't know if it's coincidence or if they're actually fixing it. I have 3.1.0.2-2 [13:28] I'm trying to use upstart to restart a process that I kick off manually when it crashes 'nohup /usr/bin/ruby /home/blahblah/ruby.rb &' but for some reason I cant seem to get this to work. Am I correct in thinking that i need to add a .conf file to /etc/init? Does anyone have an example of a similar scenario? [13:28] velcroshooz: what? so normal users can make system changes? [13:28] oooppps [13:28] velcroshooz: that's a security risk! [13:28] <_Rod2k> Hello everybody [13:28] chaospsychex: if they are in the admin group, yes [13:28] what's the best way to mount hard disks at startup\login so that they are accessible only to my account? if i add them to fstab then even guest sessions can access them [13:28] velcroshooz: no, i am talking about using sudo when logged in as a standard user [13:29] i reinstall ubuntu 11.10 a ubuzillion times already and some how after logging into guest account to configure admin account get stuck in gnome theme and gnome icons, fonts are missing and few icons are also gone frome unity and the system itself... any ideas how to solve this issue, doing a clean install fix it for a while only. [13:29] <_Rod2k> Well I'm wondering whether I can install GNOME3.2 on Ubuntu 11.11 [13:29] jasef, as far as I know now, the problem on my side is known since over a year and still doesn't get fixed. Can't really understand. If I don't find workarounds I have no choice than to go back to windows... [13:29] <_Rod2k> whoops, 11.10 [13:29] or how do i add a standard user to the sudoers file ? [13:30] chaospsychex: You don't. You add them to the admin group, thus giving them sudo priviledges. [13:30] chaospsychex: to add users with sudo-access, "sudo adduser admin" [13:30] <_Rod2k> Has anybody here tried to install GNOME on ubuntu? [13:30] _Rod2k: there is no ubuntu 11.11 [13:30] chaospsychex: if i am correct, add the user to the group "admin" [13:30] \leave [13:30] _Rod2k: if you mean 11.10 oneiric, it comes with gnome 3.2 [13:30] chaospsychex: dont edit the sudoers-file directly [13:30] <_Rod2k> Yeah I apologized for that already, I meant 11.10 [13:30] i don't want them to have admin priveleges [13:30] yeah ... repeat of what was just said [13:30] leave [13:30] 2fail... [13:30] chaospsychex: you know what sudo is? [13:30] if i am logged in on there account i need to be able to use the sudo command to do things [13:31] <_Rod2k> Are you sure? [13:31] chaospsychex: then just don't add them to admin-group. by default only the 1st created user has sudo-access [13:31] chaospsychex: sudo is giving them admin .. so yeah. think it through. [13:31] so 'standard' users can never install software? [13:31] wow. [13:31] chaospsychex: no why should they? [13:31] chaospsychex, if you want to do admin things in another user, you can type 'su ' to switch to your command prompt. [13:32] jasef: chaospsychex please use "su - username" instead of "su username" [13:32] iceroot, okay, can I ask why? [13:32] jasef: environment is not setup correctly [13:32] jasef, the - basically fakes a login [13:32] when I switched upgraded from 11.04 to 11.11, I lost my compositing windows manager (?) it went from mutter to compiz (?) I tried to bring mutter back, and now the windows don't seem to be set up correctly. [13:32] that's not working [13:33] do you know MOTU?? [13:33] Master Of The Universe? [13:33] iceroot, zykotick9 - thanks :) I always like to learn something new about Ubuntu. [13:33] in 10.10 all i had to do was 'sudo apt-get install ' put in the admin pass and it worked [13:33] ?? [13:33] chaospsychex: sudo never uses roots password [13:33] !motu | lauratika [13:33] lauratika: motu is short for Masters of the Universe. The brave souls who maintain the packages in the Universe section of Ubuntu. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU [13:33] llutz_: wrong nick [13:33] besides there is no such in ubuntu [13:33] grrrrrr [13:34] mimo_: mutter¿ you mean gnome shell¿ [13:34] lauratika: sorry wrong nick [13:34] what's the difference between 'su' and 'sudo' ? [13:34] chaospsychex: non admin users dont install stuff 'system wide; [13:34] !motu | luca_bi [13:34] !sudo | chaospsychex [13:34] chaospsychex: you were not puttinh\g in the admin pass, you were putting in the user pass. sudo does NOT use any pass but the users. [13:34] masters of the universe please heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp! [13:34] ubottu: I read the page can you partecipate to the group?? [13:34] chaospsychex: in most cases you dont want to be using su. :) [13:34] luca_bi: ubottu is a bot.. [13:35] lauratika: what is your problem?? [13:35] chaospsychex: man su, man sudo. su changes to the given username or to root, sudo grants superuser (root) privs. === max_ is now known as Visionaire [13:35] I love using su :P [13:35] is there any talk of the classic view being brought back to 11.10 [13:35] luca_bi: motu is short for Masters of the Universe. The brave souls who maintain the packages in the Universe section of Ubuntu. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU [13:35] <_Rod2k> I believe that Canonical has switched to GNOME, I just hope this is a definite step and they will never look back at Unity [13:35] chaospsychex: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [13:35] luca_bi: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:35] _Rod2k: nonsense, unity uses gnome [13:35] Thelmaria, sudo can be used for other users as well, su logins in while sudo executes a single command [13:35] what is a bot? [13:36] luca_bi: as in robot [13:36] luca_bi, an automated program. [13:36] really? [13:36] luca_bi, yes. [13:36] wonderful [13:36] !nounity | franklin56 [13:36] franklin56: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [13:36] like bender from futurama. [13:36] <_Rod2k> xangua I mean in therms of GUI [13:36] xangua: emm, maybe gnome shell? whatever let me hit ctrl+alt+numpad 7 to place window in top left corner of screen [13:36] so we are talking to a robot [13:36] _Rod2k: it uses gnome for the gui [13:37] 'sudo' does work when given an admin password [13:37] luca_bi: no mater what i do reinstall ubuntu 11.10 iim stuck in gnome theme fonts are missing from the borwser and icons too in unity ... [13:37] hi all... small problem with installation on UEFI system, no "ubuntu" entry is created in my boot-options [13:37] zykotick9: Noted. I could have worded that better :) [13:37] <_Rod2k> xangua I mean the way things and files are manipulated by it [13:37] mimo_: so you have unity and what gnome shell¿ [13:37] Good day. How do I send a pop-up message to all users logged into my Ubuntu server? Looking for a GUI solution please. I tried notify-send but that is only for one person. [13:37] chaospsychex: that is the user passwd. there is no default passwd set for root... reading would help this confusion. [13:37] chaospsychex: sudo never uses roots password, it uses users-password [13:37] lauratika: If you reinstall it you can lose your data [13:38] well i never set a 'root' password. how do i do that [13:38] chaospsychex: you don't [13:38] Purpose is to warn them that the printer will be off-line for the next 20 minutes, or an announcement of some sort. [13:38] then root doesn't have a password? [13:38] xangua: not sure which gnome shell, how do I find that? [13:38] ... chaospsychex, sudo ALWAYS uses the user password, even with root having a password, sudo would STILL use the user password [13:38] nope, i have home in a second partition and all my info it's safe... and i already reinstall ubuntu a gazillion times and is not working [13:38] chaospsychex: you don't have an active root-account, so root needs no password [13:39] !sudo | chaospsychex [13:39] chaospsychex, no, by default in Ubuntu, there is no root password. But login is denied without a password [13:39] chaospsychex: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [13:39] chaospsychex: no, and shouldnt. security issue. instead you give a user admin priveleges, and use that password to enable sudo. [13:39] !root | chaospsychex [13:39] chaospsychex: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [13:39] Is there a fairly easy way I can ghost my running/live HD to another connected via USB? [13:39] <`Abhijit> OCR software in Ubuntu 10.04 .. Any recommends? Thanks [13:39] xangua: oh, looks like I was using unity? (staring at the clusterbeep.net 11.04 cheat sheet) [13:39] And I don't just want a backup of data, I want a backup HD. [13:39] chaospsychex:follow those links ubottu gave you. you need to know the differences [13:40] Curious for an opinion here, what's more secure about not having a root password and instead using a user password? I mean apart from if the user leaves the computer logged in. [13:40] what is the difference between gnome shell and unity?? [13:40] jasef: attackers have to estimate username too [13:41] jasef: its more of a remote invasion issue than local - there is no user by default that has root privs you can login as. its low level secure, but still sound. [13:41] velcroshooz, llutz_, good point, but I have root access to my friend's ubuntu server through the builtin IRC account :P [13:41] jasef: you are a hero [13:41] ubottu, thanks [13:41] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [13:41] jasef: as llutz_ indicates, there is no root login available and so the attacker does not know of a specific user name for any one Ubuntu system. [13:41] your friend is a poor admin then [13:41] `Abhijit, last time i used a scanner the package i used was "sane" i think thats wahat it was called [13:42] luca_bi, besides differences in appearance and functionality, Gnome is created by the gnome foundations, while Unity is created by Canonical [13:42] <_Rod2k> OK so I have an ATI Radeon HD 4200 and my question is what driver should I select to install on my machine? AFAIK there are two drivers, open source and closed-source aka ati main driver. [13:42] jasef: How is it you have "root access" to a ubuntu server? [13:42] LOL [13:42] goood [13:42] ok i understand it now lloyd [13:42] jasef: Has your friend enabled the root account? [13:42] one more question..... [13:43] <`Abhijit> Thanks MisterMom .. but i was looking for OCR software for image to text conversion .. with GUI if possible [13:43] should i install the 'proprietary' gfx drivers? [13:43] Lol. He was using sudo, and didnt realise it kept the authentication for a short while, and wasnt looking, so he typed the password on the screen in plain text. I quickly logged in with it and did sudo adduser irc sudo, and set its password. And yes - the company that he has his VPS through has root enabled by default. [13:43] my install seems to be running fine, should i install them [13:43] `Abhijit, oh i see, not sure about that [13:43] chaospsychex: not needed [13:44] good [13:44] I have a thinkpad t520 running 10.4 LTS. Loathe though I am to leave LTS, I need to upgrade to get various things working. What's the safest way to do this? [13:44] chaospsychex: are you planning on gaming or using high end rendering software? if so, especially on nvidia, i would say yes, otherwise, for normal comp use, no. [13:44] I've already backed up my machine, of course... [13:44] !upgrade | puff [13:44] puff: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [13:44] <`Abhijit> MisterMom, Thanks anyways .. :) [13:44] puff: a fresh install would be better [13:44] auronandace: Hm... [13:45] `Abhijit, np :-) [13:45] puff, if you've got everything backed up, would probably be easier to just reinstall and restore your files then apt-get your packages back on. [13:45] Hi, I have a problem getting my netbook to boot from a USB Key with any OS I try to install. The only OS that will boot from a key is Chromium, which I've been trying on my netbook with much success, but now I can't put anything else on it. I get a blinking cursor when the USB boots, and thats it [13:45] Dang, was hoping not to spend the weekend reinstalling and reconfiguring everything. [13:45] puff, just so you know, if you install 11.10, and use synaptic, you'll have to apt-get install synaptic - it was removed from the default package set [13:45] do u know any tool for cloning ubuntu ? [13:45] weekend? :) this is ubuntu, not windows. [13:45] !clone [13:45] puff: download the iso; burn it to cd/usb; boot off it; click install; select upgrade when presented with the option [13:45] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [13:46] jasef: I generally use aptitude. What's replacing synaptic? [13:46] zykotick9: What do Ubuntu 11.10 use? Gnome or Unity? [13:46] puff, software center [13:46] jasef: ah. [13:46] install synaptic if you like it., [13:46] luca_bi, both ;) Unity requires Gnome, it's a shell [13:46] jasef: Well, you have effectively defeated a level of security on that system. (Ubuntu users believe that having the root account dissabled affords an extra level of security.) [13:46] this is prashant [13:46] puff: i just went from 10.10 to 11.10 today incrementally. it may not be the best choice but its doable .. havent seen any issues yet. [13:46] i am new to ubuntu [13:46] dr_willis: what's the advantage to cloning? [13:47] puff: also aptitude isn't installed by default anymore (you can still apt-et it) [13:47] I have 27 netbooks to install [13:47] repeat: I cannot get my netbook to boot Ubuntu from a USB key [13:47] and I don't want to install them one by one [13:47] lloyd__, yeah, but once one person has sudo access, it's simple enough to just type 'sudo passwd' [13:47] thanks guys, I've got an idea now, gonna go tinker with it =) [13:47] puff: you want an identical set of packages installed again, or on a differnt machine. [13:47] francisvgarcia: you may try clonezilla [13:47] dr_willis: ? [13:47] zykotick9: Does Unity require Gnome 3?? [13:48] dr_willis: I want the same set of packages, etc. [13:48] francisvgarcia: set up an apt-cache server, and use the clone commands.. or do one, and dd the hd image to the rest [13:48] luca_bi, in 11.10 it does, previously no [13:48] !clone | puff [13:48] puff: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [13:48] luca_bi: on 11.10 yes [13:48] strangeseraph: what version of ubnutu are you trying to boot, how did you put it on the usb key, is the bios set to boot from usb .. information is needed. [13:48] dr_willis: I'm on a t520 on 10.4 LTS, but a lot of the T520's hardware isn't well-supported on 10.4. [13:48] puff: those commands make a list of packages you then reinstall. [13:48] jasef: Well, sure, if you give your computer, (or some sort of direct access to it), to another person - all bets are off when it comes to security. [13:48] Muphrid I will try so [13:48] lloyd__, yeah. I know. I was just lucky he slipped up with his password lol. [13:49] jasef: your "friend" has strange friends, compromising his systems [13:49] lucky? [13:49] for a small lan of pc's the apt-cacher-ng server setup on a main server is very handy.. [13:49] llutz_, I'm not doing anything mean on it :P [13:49] HI...Whats the diffrence between Kubuntu cd and kubuntu dvd ? [13:49] so guys anyone knows how to fix super-w error? [13:49] Amdpc: dvd has extra languages. [13:49] jasef: you created a security-hole [13:49] Amdpc: most people dont need the cd. [13:49] jasef: But what you are trying to say is; Ubuntu systems are less secure? (We should take this to #ubuntu-offtopic, I invite you to follow me there, this is a busy channel.) [13:49] Amdpc: i mean dvd.. :) stick to the cd. [13:49] llutz_, I didn't enable the root account. and lloyd__ kk. [13:50] Does it have more softwares too? [13:50] Amdpc: not really [13:50] I have tried several version velcroshooz, Remix, 11.04, 11.11 Linux Mint, etc. The only OS's I can get my netbook to boot from USB are Chromium and Jolicloud. As to how, I used the Linux USB Creator tool that the Ubuntu website suggested, I torrent the OS, do the USB tool to write the image to my USB key, and set up my netbook bios to boot from USB [13:50] zykotick9: Is there a way to understand the version on gnome you are using n ubuntu?? [13:50] jasef: You just said that you DID enalbe the root account. [13:50] when it boots, unless its Chromium or Jolicloud, I get a flashing cursor [13:50] strangeseraph: with 11.10 you can just 'dd' the iso to a flash drive. :) [13:51] luca_bi: understand¿ [13:51] strangeseraph: try the nomodeset option yet? [13:51] luca_bi, (i'm not familiar with Gnome3), but isn't there an "About Gnome" somewhere in the menu? [13:51] what does 'dd' mean? [13:51] strangeseraph: its a linux command.. [13:51] I can't get into grub [13:51] I get my bios screen then a flashing cursor [13:51] theres also numerous tools at pendrivelinux that may help get a bootable usb going. [13:52] pendrivelinux.com I think is the url [13:52] zykotick9: somewhere in the menu?? [13:52] also, what is nomodeset? [13:52] luca_bi, I don't know the answer sorry. [13:52] !nomodeset | strangeseraph [13:52] strangeseraph: 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 [13:53] strangeseraph, but if you see a flashing cursor, i think your issue is more likely grub then nomodeset [13:53] grub or syslinux === Mud is now known as Guest85186 [13:53] depending on what tool made the bootable pendrive [13:53] Where can I download Kubuntu 10.10 cd ?

I'm looking for help on how to broadcast a message to all students who are logged into the Ubuntu server please. [13:54] strangeseraph: sounds like some tools are just making the pendrive incorrectly [13:54] chromium is not an OS for one thing. [13:55] TheProf: they on X or the consoles? [13:55] i have a problem with gdebi not accepting my user password when installing deb files [13:55] I'm talking about Chromium OS [13:55] dr_willis, Hello. They are on X.

[13:56] TheProf: Traditionally for console-only it used to be the wall command. But this will not send anything into a user's desktop. [13:56] obert-: i recall cp having some 'make symlinks instead of copying' option. [13:57] genii-around, I did see some documentation about wall while searching but as you said it is only for console and the kids don't know anything about that.

[14:00] dr_willis: perhaps all files in the dir,then [14:01] dr_willis: i need to see changes made on the files in the home, from /var/www [14:01] obert-: you make a dir and link the files into it.. or just link the dir..

[15:52] DasEi: ok, i just want to have a deeper understanding what it really means by double encryption [15:52] auronandace: All that power and I can't use it :-( [15:52] puff: that can be problematic [15:52] 16:48 depends DasEi.. if its a multi user system, then it is additional safety @ zhengyang [15:52] unkr, i wouldn't know - never used it. [15:52] :) [15:52] puff: maybe vm, and to play alot more around is nice for you [15:52] !vm [15:52] There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [15:52] DasEi: 'coz someone says it's overkill to have both options on [15:52] auronandace: Yeah, I've currently got it disabled in BIOS, so it just uses intel onboard. [15:53] zykotick9: okk there is one more problem if you can help my gnome network manager applet crashed when i logon what to do?? [15:54] unkr, don't know - i don't use N-M anymore. Good luck. [15:54] zhengyang: I'd tend tosay so, but think one big box for whole family, well luks protects against stolen harddrive, ecryptfs you reading Moms loveletters, single user I can't find any advantage, more the opposite (perfm/maintenance) [15:54] is there a tool like "tuned" in fedora linux to create a profile for laptops in ubuntu 11.10? tuned is an application in fedora that lets you select a profile that tunes disk cpu, and it improves battery life as well as laptop temperature, ubuntu 11.10 makes my laptop run hotter than fedora , do any of you guys know if there is something like "tuned" for ubuntu? [15:54] zykotick9: any suggestion or replacement for that ?? [15:55] unkr, nope. [15:55] yep DasEi / zhengyang home dir encryption while full drive is encrypted is only really interesting in multi user environments (altrough it allways adds another layer of protection) [15:55] depends a bit how sensitive your data is [15:56] if you are smuggling government secrets on that notebook, i would encrypt it even if it was single user :P [15:56] thanks JapyDooge and DasEi [15:56] but then, i would also not store them in my homedrive ^^ [15:56] that helps :) [15:56] JapyDooge: if you knock luks w good pass, ecryptfs, well [15:56] zykotick9: okk [15:56] gl zhengyang :) [15:56] any with experience in Ubuntu in Hyper-v?

[16:39] natrixnatrix89: with 32bit you cant use your complete ram [16:39] natrixnatrix89, 32-bit software fits in less RAM -- that's the only real advantage, other than not needing to have two copies of your libraries installed for compatibility with older 32-bit code [16:39] iceroot, not true -- PAE [16:40] natrixnatrix89: 32bit just supports 4gb ram (including vga) [16:40] iceroot, though with a 32-bit system he couldn't use all his RAM in a single process [16:40] natrixnatrix89: pae is bad [16:40] right.. o then I'm going for 64 bit [16:40] thanks [16:40] nDuff: pae is bad and can only adress 1.2 gb per process [16:40] iceroot, *shrug* -- PAE is overhead, but it's not _that much_ overhead for most use cases. [16:40] Hey, I duel boot gentoo and ubuntu and after installing the lastest update for ubuntu it no longer boots? What should I do? [16:40] nDuff: pae is really bad [16:40] iceroot, and yes, I specified earlier that if he was going to run individual processes that were going to use much RAM, 64-bit was the Right Thing [16:41] Can someone tell me how to make Ubuntu save screen brightness settings between sessions? Each time I reboot my system or restart X, brightness is set to 100%.

My servers are hosted with linode; they suggest 32-bit for many use cases (things that aren't databases or memcached), and have compelling benchmarks that the overhead of PAE is actually below the noise threshold. [16:42] duelling even [16:42] iceroot, yes, but how often do you _need_ more than 1.2gb/process when all you're doing is webdev? [16:42] nDuff: https://cl4ssic4l.wordpress.com/2011/05/24/linus-torvalds-about-pae/ [16:42] nDuff: read that, then rethink about "pae is not so bad" [16:42] iceroot, ...I can't say I care more about Linus's opinion than about benchmarks.

[17:39] if its a queue of actions, why reload the whole screen with a spinner? [17:39] Industrial, it's the same as aptitude - just because they remove it from the default install, doesn't mean it's gone from the repo [17:40] Amdpc, sudo apt-get install gdm; sudo apt-get remove kdm [17:40] zagibu, I will let it run for a while. But what would that help eventually? [17:40] helooo [17:40] xukun: you could back up your data and then reinstall [17:41] c0stre, any suggestion?

Is Ubuntu caching the old hostname somewhere, or is this a MySQL client issue? [17:45] elgaton: sorry for the delay. minor problem here, resolved now. LDFLAGS = -lssl -lcrypto -lev -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ is my line, same probelm [17:45] coffeeburrito, its in the mysql config. mysql records users as user@host so root and root@localhost and root@mycomputername are all different [17:45] zagibu, http://pastebin.com/zP3TW79T [17:46] okay, so we indeed have to deal with logical volumes [17:46] escott: do you know where I might fix that, or is that a question for #mysql? [17:47] coffeeburrito, you need to login with the correct root@host and update any logins/permissions for the new hostname [17:48] escott: I think there is some confusion - I already changed my server to accept the new hostname instead of old, but the mysql client is still trying to authenticate with the old username [17:48] zagibu, only the sda disk is on lvm and is not part of the raid. [17:48] old hostname* [17:48] xukun: try vgchange -ay sys [17:48] to activate the volume group [17:49] coffeeburrito, i guess check if there is a .mysql file in your home directory [17:49] is it possible to change which side unity bar is? i want unity to be at my rigth hand side [17:49] is there any way to access an env var in .Xresources?

[17:54] elgaton: http://pastebin.com/fWkd6Tad [17:55] xukun: anyway, you could try to boot a livecd, and do the vgchange and mount there...if it doesn't work, there, too, the disk is definately busted [17:56] ok will do that. Will be back and if you are still here I will let you know [17:56] anyway to show ufw rules without ufw enabled [17:57] Hello [17:57] alright, good luck [17:57] matrix3000: isn't ufw just an iptables frontend?

[17:57] but iptables -L is blank [17:57] cause i haven't enabled ufw yet [17:58] ah, I see...have to find out where ufw stores the rules [17:58] i found a script to rotate the screen 90 degrees and I want to add a launcher that runs the script to the panel area, how do I do it?

[17:59] Where can I find the changes to Ubuntu 11.10 from the previous released version? [17:59] It definitely looks like my ubuntu install is causing my over clock to run slower. Any ideas why?

I have a touchpad on my laptop that allows me to put one finger in one place on the pad, another finger in a different place on the pad and have the cursor jump across the screen. Ubuntu 11.10 restricts this movement to basically useless distances. How can I fix this? [18:02] zagibu: /var/lib/ufw doesn't work [18:02] mattalexx: You will need to append the package name for Nautilus elementary (for example, "sudo apt-get purge nautilus-elementary" - I don't know if that is the correct package name). [18:03] definitely something wrong. /proc/cpuinfo shows some cores a 3.4 and other cores at 1.6!! this is over clocked in the bios to 4.5 [18:03] elgation: when i use "apt-get update" why some packages get ignored ?? can u tell me ?? [18:03] NixGeek: do the additional IP values addded to /etc/networking/interfaces persist across reboots? [18:04] elgaton, Thanks, that worked! [18:04] elgaton: i always do a make clean before i make:-\ thanks for your help [18:04] mattalexx: YYou're welcome [18:04] Hello guys, I'm using a PPTP VPN as a client, I want my external ip address (public one, ppp endpoint) to accept connections on port 80 and redirect it to my machine (internal ip), I've done this in the past but somehow it doesn't work now, any of you have a clue on what iptables rules I should put in? Thanks [18:04] hi people , but java is all open source? [18:05] noahnoah, are you referring to the cpu MHz line? [18:05] Yes [18:05] gp5st1: You're welcome (though I didn't solve your problem) [18:05] elgaton: but you tried. all i can ask for:) [18:05] ivandistanislav, there are open source java compatible implementations, but sun/oracle java is not [18:05] NixGeek: I think that running /etc/init.d/networking restart is deprecated, that may be your issue [18:05] ubuntu is definitely scaling things somehow. the slower running matlab process is one huge red flag. the cpu Mhz is another [18:06] noahnoah, thats just what the cpu is currently running at, not its maximum. its normal to have them running at different speeds [18:06] unkr: look at the man page for apt-get (note the difference between "upgrade" and "dist-upgrade") [18:06] srf21c, I'm changing this more incase of reboots. If I actually reboot the server, I need to schedule it and notify players, as it's a game server. I more want to know why restarting the network interface with commands isn't causing the changed to take effect. enen if i go ifup eth0:0 it says the interface is already configured, but it doesn't show in ifconfig and I can't access the server using the ip [18:06] can scrolling number of lines be adjusted? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [18:06] OK. How can I verify that it gets up to the proper speed under load? [18:06] elgaton: ya i know the difference now what [18:07] unkr: Basically, some packages do not get upgraded if you just perform an "apt-get upgrade" because if they were upgraded they would have required installation/uninstallation of other packages. [18:07] unkr: Doing an "apt-get dist-upgrade" upgrades everything. [18:08] any1 having opengl issues? [18:08] unkr: Also, some packages may be "blacklisted" (not upgraded) for safety reasons, but these exceptions are rare. [18:08] are there any linux utilities which would let me edit my pc's escd/pnp data and save the new data back to the nvram? [18:08] for some reason new nvidia vidio cards have issues with linux [18:09] elgaton: by upgrading to 11.10 will allow me to run the software that was installed in 10.10?? === ceej_ is now known as ceej [18:09] NixGeek: Try restarting the network using some of these methods http://serverfault.com/questions/269921/what-is-the-preferred-method-to-restart-networking-in-ubuntu-and-debian [18:09] elgaton: does will affect some softwares? [18:09] monstaRtruck: I've never had big probelms with nvidia card in ubuntu, are u using the proprietary drivers? [18:09] yes i tried both [18:10] noahnoah, you can change the cpufreq throttler in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#, but you just need to collect more data on what is happening when you are running your processes [18:10] fresh install of 11.4 [18:10] unkr: Yes in 99.9% of cases (the packages just get upgraded to the newest version). An exception may be proprietary display drivers (some may lack support for newer Ubuntu versions). [18:10] glx gears frozen [18:10] A little more digging. Looks like there is a scaling_max_freq set at 3.4 in the /sys/devices [18:10] hoping someone can help me with this...http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/784138-howto-boot-existing-ubuntu-partition-using-virtualbox-inside-windows/ [18:10] * http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/784138-howto-boot-existing-ubuntu-partition-using-virtualbox-inside-windows/ [18:10] This is strange. Why wouldn't ubuntu use the max from the bios?? [18:10] tried drivers from latest nvidia [18:10] glxgears still frozen [18:10] elgaton: okk thanx [18:11] unkr: You're welcome [18:11] srf21c: I'll try those, thanks for the link.. I actally have to go, Thanks for the suggestion [18:11] NixGeek: you bet. Good luck [18:11] elgaton: can you suggest me how do i get familiar with commands any book ? [18:11] srf21c: thanks [18:11] noahnoah, to protect hardware from buggy bioses [18:11] unkr: Do you mean basic shell commands? [18:12] Strange. Fedora, cents, etc. don't have this "feature". [18:12] I have 8 cores (4 with hyper thread), so I would need to change this max_freq for each one? [18:12] can someone possibly help me with this? http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/784138-howto-boot-existing-ubuntu-partition-using-virtualbox-inside-windows/ [18:12] elgaton: no not basic one like handling dhcp servers, ftp server server kinds of commands [18:12] Is there a utility for this, or do I have to manual edit these files? [18:13] elgaton: or some kind of tutorials for them [18:13] elgaton: in one place [18:13] noahnoah, are the slow cores the extra virtual ones created by hyperthreading? [18:13] No. All the cores are slow [18:14] Looking in the /sys… directory, I see 8 cpu directories, all have a max limit. [18:14] I guess I could manual edit them all [18:14] oh, I thought you wrote that some wewrew at 3.4 and some at 1.6 [18:14] unkr: I haven't read it personally, but if I recall correctly there is an Ubuntu Server Administration Guide on the market - search for it on Amazon for the details. The contents look good to me. [18:14] But thinking there must be a better way [18:14] elgaton: ok :) [18:14] noahnoah, thats exactly how you are supposed to do it [18:15] OK. Will do. [18:15] Surprised that the other disros don't have this "feature" [18:15] noahnoah, you can make a script and add it to rc.local [18:15] Nice idea. Will these values reset on reboot? [18:15] when you split one real cpu into two virtual hyperthreaded cpu's, they both are slower than the real cpu was [18:16] gentlemen [18:16] @masquerad, not sure that is accurate. On previous system, cpu had all 8 running at 4.5 Was really fast [18:16] anyone has experience with git here? :) [18:16] vacho: ask the boys in #node.js [18:16] noahnoah, most likely the kernel is reading the cpu capabilities from some known database and ignoring what the bios tells it. so yes it would reset on reboot, which is why you should add it to rc.local [18:16] vacho: they love it [18:16] BBL...stuff to do [18:17] @escort. That makes perfect sense :) Good explanation! [18:17] vacho, yes, but git questions are probably better directed to #git [18:17] I'm not an expert in startup scripts. How can I make it edit/write a file automatically? [18:17] noahnoah, its just a sequence of "echo value > file" [18:17] hi [18:17] Got it. Thanks! [18:17] are there no escd/pnp editing utilities in linux? [18:18] can anyone help me fix a problem with grub and software raid? [18:18] does anyone know what causes sound to be choppy and broken in 11.10, never had this happen in 10.04 [18:19] MisterMom, what kind of sound card? [18:19] masquerad : soundblaster xfi [18:20] can someone help me with this? http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/784138-howto-boot-existing-ubuntu-partition-using-virtualbox-inside-windows/ [18:20] Ok. Here's a weird development: sudo echo '4500000' > /sys….scaling_max_freq gives: permission denied [18:20] but I'm using sudo? [18:21] i see a few people reporting this but not many [18:21] noahnoah: > is captured by the shell before it gets to sudo, use tee [18:21] how much faster is esxi than other virtualization options [18:21] ahh. thanks [18:21] noahnoah, sudo only runs the echo command as root, the redirect > is handled by bash which is you. you have to sudo -i and then run it. not necessary in rc.local as that is root interpreted [18:21] noahnoah: echo 4500000 | sudo tee path [18:21] glitchd, can you bee more specific about what you are having trouble with [18:21] n-1.cc ?

[18:22] trism: or tee -a to add to the file ;-) [18:22] ActionParsnip: indeed [18:22] MisterMom, some people report the same problem with windows 64bit drivers [18:23] escott, ok sure, i have windows 7 x64 and ubuntu 10.04 installed with dualboot. im not really tech savvy enough to jus out right do this. this is kinda confusing to me. thats why i posted a link to the page containing the instructions for what i want to do. [18:23] http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/784138-howto-boot-existing-ubuntu-partition-using-virtualbox-inside-windows/ [18:23] masquerad : im running win 7 64 right now with no problem [18:24] escott, i want to boot my existing ubuntu install while booted into windows. [18:24] Hello, I'm trying to connect to a wireless network from a new Xubuntu install. The wireless device does not show up in ifconfig. lshw shows me that my wireless card is a BCM4311 device. I don't have any means to connect via ethernet either (I am chatting from a different machine) so I tried the 'STA - No Intenet Access' method as described in the documentation: http://bit.ly/w0DUvf [18:24] I tried installing firmware-b43-installer by downloading all the packages and running dpkg -i but that keeps failing. [18:24] Can someone tell me what's my next alternative? I cannot connect that machine to the internet without wireless, I have to download whatever I need and transfer by usb [18:25] glitchd: the guys in #vbox may help too :-) [18:25] does anyone has an idea why i have this: FXComposeContext: illegal parameter windows [18:25] ActionParsnip, so i should switch channels then? [18:25] does anyone know of a faster loading gtk based file manager than thunar? Thunar takes like a minute plus to load for some reason. [18:25] glitchd, that was understood. just asking broadly for help on the instructions won't get you much, because nobody on the channel is doing exactly what you are doing at exactly the same time and having exactly the same difficulties. what exactly is confusing to you [18:25] MisterMom, if it happens in one os but not another, maybe it's one of the other linux drivers causing interference with the xfi? [18:25] glitchd: ask in both [18:25] escott, pretty much everything.. [18:26] Ironsight: pcmanfm or rox [18:26] thank you ActionParsnip [18:26] does anyone has an idea why i have this: FXComposeContext: illegal parameter windows [18:26] Hannofcart: you can install it offline using the install cd [18:27] MisterMom, I ended up having to dump my creative labs card because despite working well in windows, it caused problems in linux [18:27] masquerad: ubuntu 11.04 works just fine but 11.10 is so choppy i can not here any sounds and mp3 is just crapola [18:27] Hannofcart, have you checked "rfkill list" [18:27] Hannofcart: the broadcom how to shows how to do it [18:27] ActionParsnip, ahh nice, pcmanfm is instaloading :D [18:28] ActionParsnip, I am followingthe broadcam HOWTO [18:28] glitchd, you might jump over to #ubuntu-beginners (its a bit lower traffic) and just go line by line what is confusing you [18:28] (The link in my question is just that) [18:28] MisterMom, that makes it all the more likely that it's a problem with one of the other drivers which is newer in 11.10 [18:28] escott, ok thx for the tip [18:28] anyone know if you can do a dist-upgrade from a chroot environment [18:28] dork, yes [18:28] Hannofcart: then you don't need to get anything via usb [18:28] escott, can you explain what you mean by "rfkill list" [18:29] Dork: absolutly [18:29] ActionParsnip, well, I already tried the method without internet [18:29] doesnt work [18:29] masquerad: ok that makes sense, i wonder if it might get fixed or if there is a easy way to fix it [18:29] MisterMom, because if it were a newer xfi driver at fault, then there would have been a popular outcry by now [18:29] Hannofcart, just run the command it will tell you if your hw radio is turned off (sometimes that is a gotcha for people who think the radio is on and its not) [18:29] hello everyone :) [18:29] is there anyway to log all messages from 10.2.*.* devices to a specific log file (rsyslog)? [18:29] I know of fromhost-ip, but what about any device with ip 10.2.*.* [18:29] escott, radio? [18:30] Hannofcart, wireless = radio [18:30] please help me where can I find a working version of OpenUT? [18:30] I can't see megavideo videos in fullscreen, in webs People only give 1 solution "Uncheck Aceleration Hardware" but it is uncheked and it doesn't work yet. what can i do? [18:30] Hi i got problem with U1, when i use it on 11.04 it works great but when i update Ubuntu to 11.10 it return "Method "CreateItem" with signature "a{sv}(oayay)b" on interface "org.freedesktop.Secret.Collection" doesn't exist" error when i want to login : [18:30] :/ anybody can help me? [18:30] escott, alright, i'll give it a try [18:30] Hannofcart: what do you think wireless transmitted via? [18:30] MisterMom, the way to figure it out would be to compare a dmesg log from 11.04 with one from 11.10, and see which drivers changed [18:30] I was trying everything i even asked here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/73504/i-cant-login-to-ubuntu-one [18:30] ActionParsnip, heh, didnt know :) [18:31] but nobody knows the answer, i was trying to reinstall ubuntu and still nothing (i reinstalled 11.04 and performed upgrade again) [18:31] masquerad: thanks will try that [18:32] Hannofcart: well its rated in hz like radio stations and such. You learned something new today :D [18:32] ckendall: ufw [18:32] ActionParsnip, yup, indeed. thanks! [18:32] anyone know if there is a support channel for evolution mail client? [18:32] EgyParadox, I don't need a firewall [18:32] oh I see [18:33] EgyParadox, I want to log syslog messages from a particular subnet to a specifc file [18:33] GriGi: i heard many people having issues when upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10 [18:33] I know you can match a specific IP, but I don't know about a subnet [18:33] searching for solution: using ubuntu server to stream live webcam on web page? [18:33] ActionParsnip, wait, ofcourse its rated in Hz. So are microwaves (all EM for that matter) I knwo that much! I assumed that you meant that the same band of EM waves are used for wireless transmission as are radio waves [18:33] GriGi: try using another distro, like Xubuntu [18:34] csenger41, it's really annoying cause it works on my netbook but didn't work on PC, and that's what im using U1 - for syncing files between 2 PCs [18:34] but i think i'll wait for another Ubuntu, because im not using that PC very often [18:34] Hannofcart, radio waves is a more general term, and includes tv, radio, satellite etc... [18:34] GriGi: try Xubuntu, it's working like wonder for me and would never return to Ubuntu [18:35] does anyone has an idea why i have this: FXComposeContext: illegal parameter windows [18:35] ckendall: Sorry I cant help [18:35] i g2g now, bye :) [18:35] csenger41, when i was upgrading i get many "error adding /usr/ssl/certs/..." it may be the problem? I know it's just SSL certificates but maybe this is it [18:35] I dont know [18:35] escott, yes I know. I assumed they use a different segment of the electromagnetic waves spectrum as compared to wireless [18:36] GriGi: are there bugs reported? [18:36] GriGi: [18:36] GriGi: if you make a new ubuntu user and log in, is it ok? [18:36] Hannofcart, its regulated country by country, but it is a different band (or at least should be) [18:36] Is some body know ftp client support lookup of SRV records ? [18:37] ActionParsnip, on AskUbuntu some guy told me to login into Guest account and try there but i can't login into U1 even on guest account [18:37] !details | scriptwarlock [18:37] scriptwarlock: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [18:38] ActionParsnip, i got error in my language, it's something like "There are problems with authentications lists" [18:38] after issuing mkahawa -nossl this came out [18:38] FXComposeContext: illegal parameter windows [18:38] i think its from libfox1.6 [18:38] GriGi: make your own new user and try there === lux_ is now known as Guest72740 [18:39] scriptwarlock, sounds like a bug in mkahawa. its not uncommon to have these kinds of warnings/bugs in gui applications, as long as it is working correctly i would ignore it [18:40] escott, does foxtoolkit made changes or ubuntu 11.10 does? because mkahawa is working properly on 11.04 [18:42] scriptwarlock, i dont know what any of these libraries programs are. if the program you are running is in apt and is not working you should file a bug at launchpad.net. if you got this program from a third party you need to get an updated version from them if there is an incompatibility between libraries [18:42] let me rephrase [18:43] GriGi: there is #ubuntuone with 62 users in [18:43] escott, i'm not sure what libraries are update on ubuntu 11.10, do they update it especially the libfox thing? [18:43] I have a pptp connection, internal ip: 192.168.x.x, external ip: 69.x.x.x, I want traffic from 69.x.x in port 80 to come to my box, how to setup iptables this way, anyone? I've been doing this for ages and now it doesn't work, help plz [18:43] scriptwarlock, check the versions http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [18:43] is there possible to get a smooth scrolling on linux as on macbook? [18:44] ActionParsnip, thanks, i didn't know about that channel, now im trying with that new user [18:44] !gutsy [18:44] Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) was the seventh release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 18th, 2009. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [18:45] !dapper [18:45] Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake) was the fourth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended on July 14th 2009, Server support ended on June 1st 2011. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [18:45] qirk: there are often options in the browser. You may need an addon or extension [18:45] * ActionParsnip misses Gutsy [18:45] Anybody knows if this still works: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromKnoppix [18:45] It seems little old [18:46] !debootstrap [18:46] debootstrap is used to create a !Debian or Ubuntu base system from scratch, without requiring the availability of !dpkg or !APT. It does this by downloading !.deb files from a mirror site, and carefully unpacking them into a directory you can eventually !chroot into. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot for more information [18:46] ActionParsnip: found one for chrome already, but I would like it to apply for pdf readers etc too, I've tried to adjust synclient too but I haven't found anything for scrolling lines per 1 scroll on touchpad [18:46] escott, ok thanks for the time gonna check ubuntu, foxtoolkit and mkahawa. [18:46] ptrkmj: The basic principle still works, yes [18:46] ciauuuuuuuu [18:47] genii-around: good news [18:47] qirk: not sure dude. Never spent time on stuff like that. Try a few readers [18:47] !list [18:47] 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 ».

(per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [18:48] OK. After much digging, cpufreq just won't cooperate. I'd like to just disable it. Is there an easy way to prevent it from loading at all. (My hope is that the cpu will then just run at the bios limit) [18:49] qirk, which pdf readers have you tried? [18:49] masquerad: okular evince [18:49] does anyone has good results on runing internet explorer 8 un ubuntu 11.x [18:50] according to this it should be pathed in synaptics by now http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=OTU1MA [18:50] In Unity, how/where do I remove the keybinds that exist for the quicklaunch bar on the left? e.g. SUPER_L + s goes to workspace switcher and SUPER_L + t to the trash. I want to turn these (and the ones for the number keys off). [18:50] would like the smooth mac scrolling feature to appear universally [18:50] ptrkmj: The assignment of hd names has changed since Dapper, will be sda sdb and so on , not hda hdb as there [18:50] I instead want to use the number keys for switching to a workspace. [18:50] test [18:50] testest [18:50] sry^ [18:50] it works! [18:51] noahnoah, you would likely have to get a different kernel [18:51] how do i chance my name? [18:51] qirk, "xpdf" smooth scrolls for me [18:51] /nick foo [18:51] genii-around: yeah i know such things :D but will this work for lubuntu as well? [18:51] @escort. Hard to believe that. See some startup stuff in rc3.d. Must be a way to either disable, for fix it. [18:51] It looks like "bios_limit" is set and then locked. [18:51] I am trying to setup my machine to connect a VPN. The info I have is an IPSec ID, and IPSec secret, and Xauth username, and an IPSec gateway. I don't see fields for ID or Secret when I go to the "VPN Connections -> Configure VPN" in Ubuntu 11.10. any suggestions of how to set this up? [18:52] ciau [18:52] masquerad: I'll try it out then, for example in okular if you hold down left mouse button and drag down so the hand appears, the scrolling feature is smooth, but with simple scroll it takes about 4 lines at once === trash_ is now known as trashoot [18:52] In trying to VPN into my linux machine from home, I get the error message: You do not have permission to change the hosts files. Please verufy that you have write permissions in the /etc directory. I used chmod to modify these, but I still am getting the error. What do I do? [18:52] francisvgarcia, http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=25 [18:52] venik212, you should not be chmod'ing stuff in /etc [18:52] ptrkmj: The principle is the same, yes [18:53] how else can I give permission ? [18:53] noahnoah, if you see a bios_limit being set then use a similar command to unset it [18:53] 'couldn't conect to the remote server' means which mistake? [18:54] venik212, are you following the vpn documentation? [18:54] There is not command to set it. It is a file in the sys info. [18:54] Not sure what sets it. [18:54] noahnoah, Wouldn't disabling the ondemand service do the trick ? [18:55] escott-- I was just trying to use the java secure application manager to get in, and that is where I got stuck [18:55] !vpn | venik212 [18:55] venik212: For more information on vpn please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN [18:55] venik212, if you are using some java program you need to be running that program as root [18:56] Does anyone know how to make a laptop *not* blank the screen when the lid is closed? [18:56] venik212, but chmod/chown on root owned files is almost always the wrong thing to be doing [18:56] escott-- good idea-- I'll try that [18:56] I'm working on turning off the startup scripts that enable cpufreq at all. Hoping that will prevent this debacle. [18:56] This is in 11.10 btw. [18:56] Dougie187: Remove the button that causes it to. [18:56] Pehnep: button? [18:57] noahnoah, I thinks those scripts are the ondemand ones I just mentioned [18:57] you mean like take the laptop apart, and remove the physical switch? [18:57] escott, there is indeed some changes of libfox from the two releases of ubuntu [18:57] Dougie187: Or switch, which is probably under your laptop screen, hardware. [18:57] Dougie187: Yeah.

[19:30] psilo23, the concern is that he runs a (setuid) binary on your machine which is flawed and escalates his priviliges. so its non-trivial to establish a limited environment with only things you trust that is functional, and then chroot him to that. it can be done, its just not trivial [19:30] is there a channel for people who build ubuntu packages? i'm learning how to create a deb package.

[19:31] want to package cppdb up [19:31] RyuGuns, this is a wild guess...did you use compiz config? I just did that and I have the same issue [19:31] psilo23, but in order to be on the machine he has to run a program, so he has to have access to /usr/bin or a copied version of /usr/bin [19:31] i just gave some random lad ssh access to my box thats why i am asking lol [19:31] I did use compiz config. [19:31] hey everyone. need some tips to change info on gnome-system-monitor. changed in /etc/issue and /etc/lsb-release, but it revert back to original after a reboot [19:31] I was trying to get back the compiz effects. :\ [19:31] RyuGuns, I am trying to figure out how to fix it...

[19:32] did a fresh ubuntu 11 install, additional drivers say device is activated but not in use [19:32] psilo23, in your case the easiest thing might be to see if you can configure your server to allow that user to execute one and only one command which is the ssh command to the final location [19:32] !!!!!!!!

[19:46] noisebleed, yes and no. mac has /Users instead of home and some (non-interactive) accounts dont have a /home, but yes you need one for linux [19:46] I don't see an official guide [19:46] noisebleed: the bare minimum you need is 1 / partition [19:46] and swap [19:46] I'm making an existing system dual-boot (two different ubuntu installs).

I remember there was some trick for it! [19:49] Hey, my computer won't boot - Grub rescue, unknown filesystem. 11.10 dual-boot with Windows. [19:49] noisebleed: if you dont care about that, you can use a / and a swap partition (with your ram) [19:49] what partitions? because the iso is running on an external hard drive and the installer says "this disk already has ubuntu" and I had to go for "other install" [19:49] Neosano, scp file user@remote:/path [19:49] kkamal: with -R or not?

[19:53] How do I turn off the windowskey behaviour in Unity? I want to use other Compiz plugins for that. I can't get rid of the windows key bindings in Unity. [19:53] Gentoo64: SystemRescueCd is a livecd based on Gentoo [19:53] !clone | kkamal you can at least save the list of installed packages [19:53] kkamal you can at least save the list of installed packages: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [19:53] SystemRescueCd is pretty small and handy if you cant get anythign else to work [19:53] \boot [19:53] noisebleed: why dont you just install ubuntu with the normal cd? === BIGDICKSinYOASS is now known as yummy [19:53] Gentoo64: don't have cdrom [19:54] how are you installing it now?

[19:59] noisebleed: yes [19:59] RyuGuns1, in the middle of something else right now...thanks [19:59] noisebleed: it just has a different set of default apps [19:59] noisebleed, lubuntu is fine! works very well for me [20:00] noisebleed, yeah, with your hardware I would definitely suggest you to install lubuntu! [20:00] Can someone tell me where all my preferences/administration programs have gone? (ocelot upgrade) [20:00] I just need an editor like Kate (because eclipse won't be a choice of course) and apache/mysql/php/python [20:00] Namely, the monitors frontend [20:00] noisebleed: you ca put any apps on, gedit etc [20:01] Neosano, what kind of file were you transferring ? [20:01] noisebleed, why eclipse wont be a choice? [20:01] Gentoo64: uses GTK (Gnome family) [20:01] BluesKaj, video. .avi [20:01] Neosano: eclipse is ultimate slow [20:01] oh, for god's sake, i don't even get a context menu on the panel now? what the hell are these people thinking? [20:01] kate uses qt gedit is gtk, so i would use gedit for lubuntu [20:01] noisebleed, oh really? was working very well on my very old laptop [20:01] noisebleed: but i doubt any text edits would run slow [20:01] is ubuntu trying to lose all of its users by becoming mac os x [20:02] kneaux, try another button :D [20:02] kneaux: try docky [20:02] Neosano: maybe i should check java options [20:02] kneaux, I don't have it right now, I don't remember, but there's a button on the right (like log off or something) and there is a control panel [20:02] i have sed 4.2.1 if i want to replace all words what start with let say a letter 's/\sa*\s/plaa/g' how im going to do it? [20:02] but isn't Unity designed for notebooks? Once i installed it on a Eeepc of a friend [20:03] kneauf or you can type control panel into your search box. but yeah, very unintuitive, I've felt some regression.. [20:03] noisebleed, too slow for notebooks -_- [20:03] good afternoon [20:03] noisebleed: its not designed for them [20:03] I have an ubuntu server where the network configuration tool does not work [20:03] installed notebook edition, isn't that unity? [20:03] it does not appear to create the /etc/network/interfaces file [20:03] that file does not exist [20:04] I assume it's a permissions issue [20:04] noisebleed: what version is it? === nac-godfather is now known as nac4l [20:04] but I have no other ubuntu box to compare with [20:04] >_< so it's now in the logout menu for no reason whatsoever, /and/ i don't get a menu for those items anymore. Great. That's a real improvement. [20:04] noisebleed: honestly id use lubuntu. my old downstairs comp had 512 ram and it hard froze on the livecd when i opened firefox [20:04] on normal ubuntu [20:04] I see, also, that "About" has disappeared, and f1 on the desktop doesn't do anything [20:05] kneaux, well, yes. I don't see a reason for this to be a default behavior. BUT! you can try lubuntu or kubuntu.. or old gnome ubuntu! ^_^ [20:05] (11.10) -- how come my title bar in firefox is from a webpage I've opened and since closed? anyone else seen this? [20:05] Gentoo64: what's lubuntu download site or official page? can't find it [20:05] I /am/ on gnome classic. [20:05] noisebleed: google :) hang on ill do it for you === timo_ is now known as Guest43305 === Guest43305 is now known as Animtim [20:05] Seriously, this is the third time in a row I've downgraded to the newest version. I'm getting tired of it. [20:06] noisebleed, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu [20:06] perhaps is there a way I can see what the default /etc/network/interfaces file is? [20:06] noisebleed: http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/11.10/release/lubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386.iso [20:06] kneaux, GET LUBUNTU :D [20:06] kneaux, and stop whining! that's how I did. [20:06] kneaux, of you are truly dissatisfied, there are other distros [20:07] Gentoo64: thanks. [20:07] Sure. I just didn't upgrade Ubuntu so I could install a different distribution. [20:07] hi, is it ok, if i ask here about wine problems? === max_ is now known as Visionaire [20:07] I'm unsure about how to proceed [20:07] I want to install a different version of ubuntu alongside an existing ubuntu install and dual-boot. I have / (20GB) and /home (/50 GB) and /bulkdata (367 GB) and I've shrunk /bulkdata down to free up a 20 GB chunk. Now what to do I do? I presume I format the new 20 GB chunk as ext4, but what mount point do I give it? [20:08] why not try debian, it's from where ubuntu was born [20:08] Crypto-fs, install ubuntu, encrypted filesystem, how to, netbook [20:08] virgo: you drank too much and got sick? [20:08] puff, / [20:08] imbezol, haha :D [20:08] kneaux, you can read about new versions before going for the upgrade [20:08] Those are the keywords I'm working with right now [20:08] can anybody please tell me what the default contents of /etc/network/interfaces are supposed to be [20:08] can't connect from win7 to a samba server on ubuntu 11.10 [20:08] virgo: i think there's an existing bug report :) [20:08] i'm about to break something >__< [20:08] imbezol, i did not, i did install this wine thing for games, but looks like 3d doesnt work at all and cant even start the applications correctly [20:08] How do I open up Synaptic? [20:09] thanks Neosano [20:09] mducharme-work, http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/ [20:09] It's not like I can't do this in the terminal. but WHERE IS SYNAPTIC [20:09] i have lenovo 3000 N100 with intel graphics [20:09] Followed purge & re-install steps exactly, same error. [20:09] virgo: ah. honestly, you'll eventually come to the realization that if you want to run windows games, you should just run windows [20:09] Jonii^, ecryptfs and encrypted partitions are different you may want to decide which you want. ecryptfs encrypts individual files, but not the os, while whole partition encryption makes it so you cant boot without the password [20:09] kneaux: not sure its there any more [20:09] virgo: there are exceptions.. games that are known to run well. but they're far and between [20:09] but there are so many things i like with ubuntu [20:10] any reports of how well dosbox works for games? [20:10] virgo: yup. i gave up on games 12 years ago when i switched to linux [20:10] kneaux, in 11.10 synaptic isnt there by default [20:10] the most joy I get from ubuntu is the learning part ;) [20:10] what? is...there a better package frontend? or is it one that does less, which seems to be the trend these days in ubuntu? [20:10] kneaux, use terminal to install it.. or.. get LUBUNTU :D [20:10] kneaux, there is one, called software center [20:10] okay, neosano, not for nothing, but stop [20:10] kneaux: try searching for it in the software centre [20:10] that's not synaptic [20:10] virgo: but seriously, if you want help, there are winehq forums that are your best bet [20:10] i don't want to use the software center [20:10] i want synaptic [20:10] escott: Won't that conflict with the existing / [20:10] kneaux: stop trollling [20:10] kneaux, install it!! [20:10] virgo: how to (and if it's possible to) use most games is documented pretty well [20:11] hello [20:11] kneaux, use software center and search synaptic, install, use. [20:11] well i'm gonna use the terminal, but thanks [20:11] Hi all! How can i make unity to constantly show if a window is urgent/have something new? [20:11] and i'm not trolling [20:11] question> any way to make unity work with my nvidia gforce2 mx 400 video card? im using ubuntu 11.10 [20:11] kneaux, another alternative to using software center to install it is by simply typing apt-get install synaptic in a terminal [20:11] it only wiggles for some seonds then thats all [20:11] kneaux: stop acting like one then [20:11] masquerad: unfortunately xpdf is a bit laggy since it has to load every next page :/ [20:11] puff, no its a different partition. the main source of conflict will be the bootloader. if both versions try to setup their own bootloader they will be fighting over who has control over the boot process [20:11] one step ahead of you olim [20:12] gentoo64, stop trolling [20:12] oh cool [20:12] looks like you dont need help finding it then? [20:12] kneaux: i say "search for it in the software center" and you say you dont want to use software center, and keep moaning [20:12] i have the nvidia drivers working ok, but unity3d does not work [20:12] not now [20:12] sed 's/ a[a-z]*/ plaa/g' <- i can do it like that, but its not what i really want :D [20:12] i'm just annoyed [20:12] gentoo. shut up. [20:12] guys, cool of [20:12] f [20:12] you're making a bigger deal out of this than i was. you're trolling. [20:12] kneaux: good [20:12] :) [20:12] Move on, guys. Seriously. [20:12] you're a towel! [20:12] * olim laughs [20:13] question> I have nvidia official drivers working, but yet cant find any way to make unity work with my nvidia gforce2 mx 400 video card? im using ubuntu 11.10 [20:13] and if i'm not mistaken last time i checked alt+f2 was bound to run program? [20:13] gnome3 does not work either, only classic gnome [20:13] some bright chap decided that was worth deleting, i take it? [20:13] escott: that's true, it's always appearing after login, how can I remove it ? [20:14] kneaux: what version of ubuntu did you upgrade from? [20:14] narwhal [20:14] as far as i know you can't skip versions [20:14] was there an m? i don't remember it [20:14] kneaux: youll just have to get used to it. the new one uses gnome 3 but it should be around for a long time [20:14] also, synaptic's still installed, but not available in any menus, and it crashes when i start it [20:14] so i doubt there will be many major changes for a while [20:15] if there are no major changes we're all in trouble! [20:15] kneaux: whats it say when you run it from terminal [20:15] hang on i'm reinstalling it [20:15] escott, but you can't do anything with the OS without having the password, right? [20:15] Followed purge & re-install steps exactly, same error. [20:16] terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::out_of_range' [20:16] what(): vector::_M_range_check [20:16] std is the worst abbreviation ever [20:16] standard [20:16] well [20:16] yeah [20:16] i dont know [20:16] Jonii^, with ecryptfs one can login as root, but root is still unable to access the ecryptfs protected files without the users password. so you could safely let a friend use a guest account on your computer. you cant with full disk encryption [20:16] no idea why its crashing [20:16] anyone know how to dist-upgrade to 12.04? [20:16] gnome3 is not working on my video card> nvidia gforce2 (NV11), all drivers installed and working, any idea? [20:17] bkerensa: everyone will say "why" [20:17] god i was driving out of a rental car place once and the sign by the spikes said, with the first letters of each word highlighted, in red, "Severe Tire Damage." [20:17] RyuGuns1, I got it fixed thanks [20:17] * kneaux facepalmed [20:17] Gentoo64: Yeah Im sure :P [20:17] anyway yeah that's super bizarre [20:17] jdobrien: How did you do it? [20:17] escott: Okay, fomratting the new partition, next, I guess I use the live CD and install into the new partition? [20:17] i almost forgot why i needed synaptic in the first place [20:17] !ot | kneaux [20:17] kneaux: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [20:17] escott: I guess the real question is how I get the bootloader installed and set up to worth with both installs. [20:18] yeah all right whatever [20:18] bkerensa: im not sure tbh, but are you going to be using it for main desktop? i would clonethe drive first [20:18] RyuGuns1, finally got to the point where i could run ccsm and reset unity [20:18] escott, isn't that pretty good, then? [20:18] ubuntu 11.10 dropped support for old computers? [20:18] kneaux: why did you need it? [20:18] :) [20:18] Gentoo64: All my data goes to the cloud in real time so Im not afraid of data loss [20:18] i was going to see about a different desktop environment [20:19] bkerensa: not data loss, but if there isnt a need to use it id stay with the normal version. i can image 12.04 would break all the time especially in this stage [20:19] never learned aptitude [20:19] NoReGreT, you could sudo mkdir /media/whatever it was, and see if you get a better error message that is more indicative of the cause. alternately you could use a combination of ps aux > process.txt; xkill; ps aux process2.txt; diff process.txt process2.txt; to try and find out what process is raising the error [20:19] kneaux: you can jyst use apt-get install [20:19] How much of the data is left unencrypted? Can you have the unencrypted part of the system be read-only? [20:19] why can't i connect to a samba share from win7 ? [20:19] kneaux: and choose the de from lightdm (afaik) === pothos_ is now known as pothos [20:19] hi [20:20] hi [20:20] Dangit... I give up. I'll never get this thing working. [20:20] i'm gonna try ldxe, since that's what neosana was de facto recommending with lubuntu [20:20] i have a question [20:21] i neet to know the password of ftp account [20:21] kneaux: lxde is good. you could try xfce and set it up to look like gnome2 (a bit) [20:21] Unity issues, the Ausio mixer/banshe controller causes the menu bar and all the aplets to reload when ever I hover over it... any thoughts? [20:21] xfce has more gnomeish panels [20:21] im in a server i can download any file but i don't know where ftp account password is [20:21] Jonii^, there is some performance penalty, and nothing prevents access to the ecryptfs loopback mount (so your guest could install a trojan and then wait until you login to read your data) so its not perfect. you just have to decide what level of protection you want. read-only is controlled by the filesystem permissions [20:21] u guys think no one hates linux [20:21] gnome3 + geforce2 = does not work , any ideas? [20:21] can any one help me to find out this? [20:21] monstaRtruck: my brother hatres linux [20:21] i've tried xfce...not the hugest fan... [20:22] kneaux: me neither... lol [20:22] Oh. Man. My friend told me a while back about an [20:22] escott, yeah, but to prevent any supposedly encrypted data leaving a trail to unencrypted portion of the system [20:22] scuse me X11 alternative but I can't remember the name of it, anyone have suggestions? [20:22] i just got gtx560 [20:22] how do u think i feel [20:22] this linux stuff is worthless [20:23] I have the nvidia drivers working [20:23] monstaRtruck: whats the problem? [20:23] but, unity seems to want a better, more expensive card [20:23] Im on third world guys, I cant purchase a new video card [20:23] kronoman: if you dont *need* unity, then use something else [20:23] im getting 1000fps in windows opengl [20:23] no one needs unity [20:24] X11 (still, after like six years, grumble) won't let you configure more than 4 keyboard layouts at one time, which is why I got a computer virus, because I started using Windows again. The upshot being...what can I use other than X11 [20:24] glxgears friken frozen meanwhile [20:24] hrm [20:24] Im using gnome classic right now [20:24] I don't understand why this network connections gui is not working [20:24] can anybody explain [20:24] but I have a 3D accelerated card [20:24] Jonii^, thats related usually to things like encrypted swap. if you want NSA level security go with a fully encrypted disk. ecryptfs is easier to use and prevents any random thief from reading your email if they steal your laptop. [20:24] gnome3 should work with nvidia gforce2 [20:24] most games work on wine and all [20:24] I can manually set the ip in the interfaces file [20:24] cosign [20:24] and this thing just for drawing a couple windows needs the latest graphic card? [20:24] Okay, I now have a second / partition setup, 20 GB formatted ext4. Now what, just use the live CD's "install ubuntu" option? [20:24] that is shitty programming [20:24] kronoman: its prob 3d accelerated thats all [20:25] gnome shell needs it [20:25] it just dont let you use a slow card because itll run bad [20:25] i guess everybody uses X11 then [20:25] kneaux: yes [20:25] its the norm [20:26] Gentoo64, but most games work with my card, yet gnome or unity cant render a couple window [20:26] I mean, opengl real games with effects, everything [20:27] kronoman: whats happening then, is it trying to work? or denying you from running unity [20:27] yet gnome requires some awesome expensive card just to draw the windows [20:27] unity refuses to run [20:27] and gnome3 just runs [20:27] kronoman: gnome shell? [20:27] or plain [20:27] then sometimes gives segs fault [20:27] and does not display windows [20:27] just white screens [20:27] glxinfo gives [20:27] server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation [20:27] server glx version string: 1.4 [20:27] kronoman: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:27] gnome shell [20:28] that's a lie [20:28] it doesn't require an expensive card to use gnome [20:28] just a modern one [20:28] hello [20:28] i can run unity with vbox graphics smooth as anything [20:29] tensorpudding, then ubuntu has ditched support for the poor and opressed [20:29] Gentoo64, there are others though, right? [20:29] escott, thanks [20:29] I cant purchase a modern computer, nor most of the people here [20:29] "modern" being made in like the last five years [20:29] the gov has closed imports of "luxury" goods [20:29] kneaux: there is an x11 alternative cant remember the name, but nothing will take over x11 [20:29] I dont want to involve politics in my card [20:29] but believe, even if I have the money, I could not purchase a new card [20:29] or new computer [20:29] kronoman: who cares . use something else [20:29] and in any case, there's gnome-fallback [20:30] ubuntu should give support to 3rd world computers [20:30] kronoman: not having unity isnt the end of the world [20:30] Im using gnome classic right now [20:30] escott-- I thought I knew how to fix the mode on my sudoers file from the live CD, but I failed [20:30] kronoman: ok.. use that then [20:30] but it should work on any opengl card [20:30] it says that the mode is 0660 and should be 0440 [20:30] I cant see why just to animate a window it needs a modern card [20:30] from a programming point of view that is crap [20:31] kronoman: it is [20:31] so dont use it [20:31] Doom3 runs on my card [20:31] yet unity cant render the calculator [20:31] if doom 3 runs on your card i find it hard to believe it's not powerful enough for gnome [20:31] sorry-- it says the mode is 0644 and should be 0440 [20:31] it's probably a driver bug [20:31] it is powerful for gnome [20:31] gnome is buggy [20:31] kronoman: i reckon youve done something and messed something up somewhere [20:31] Hi guys [20:32] venik212, 660 gives too many permissions. they want it 640 or lower [20:32] meh, I just should do what everything else here does and pirate a win7 [20:32] so far for the linux community and support for the freedom [20:32] good night for today [20:32] kronoman: who cares [20:32] they want it to be 0440, but I don't know how to restore it, from the live CD or ...? [20:33] i installe LAMP on my ubuntu 10.10, localhost works fine, but when trying opening any of apps on www, it gives me 403 forbidden You don't have permission to access /mysite/ on this server. what to do ?? [20:33] yeah, because that's way less buggy and runs way faster than gnome [20:33] Gentoo64: lubuntu installer menu is a lot faster :) [20:33] I have an Ubuntu server Intrepid since 2 years ago I think working fine..I went today to install php5-cli using apt-get and I get a lot of error messages of unfound packages due no server responses. I think I need to update my sources.list, but I don't know where to find this for the Intrepid version, thanks. [20:33] fail, you're. [20:33] noisebleed: it will be [20:33] Gentoo64: nice tip, thanks a lot [20:33] noisebleed: its a lot nicer to use: basic menus, faster etc [20:34] Gentoo64: I was installing fluxbox on my pentium2 when it finally died [20:35] Can anyone help me with installing dual-boot? [20:35] puff: whats the problem [20:35] how do I change the mode of the /etc/sudoers file from 0644 to 0440? Trying to do it I am told that there is no valid sudoers source found... quitting [20:35] Gentoo64: I'm just not sure what to do next. [20:35] noisebleed: ive used openbox for years, basically lxde (lxpanel and pcmanfm) [20:35] puff: how did you install ubuntu? [20:35] Gentoo64: oh, and E17 more recently, but I like fluxbox better [20:36] Gentoo64: Alternate install CD of lucid. [20:36] !eol | Mimoso98 [20:36] Mimoso98: 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 [20:36] puff: did you choose alongside windows? [20:36] or on its own partition [20:36] Gentoo64: want to add dual boot to 11.10 to the existing ubuntu lucid install. I've set up an extra 20GB / partition, formatted ext4. [20:36] I would hate to have to reinstall ubuntu just for changing the mode of one file... [20:36] No need to upgrade, everything works fine, so no solution??? [20:36] puff: afaik it should pick it up, if not youll have to edit the grub config file and add it [20:37] Gentoo64: The lucid partition was/is exclusive, wiped the whole drive, have (besides boot and swap) three logical partitions / and /home and /bulkdata. [20:37] venik212: use the recovery mode [20:37] I tried, but I still got the same error message [20:37] Gentoo64: Well, first thing is, I boot up the 11.10 live CD, and select install, and then what? [20:37] http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/php5/php5-cli_5.2.6-2ubuntu4.6_amd64.deb [20:37] puff: install it manually to the partition(s) then boot it [20:37] venik212, so its looking at sudoers and seeing the permissions are too broad and saying "SUDOERS is compromised DANGER DANGER" and aborting. so you need to go back and fix the permissions on sudoers until its happy [20:37] That is the file that apt-get can't find [20:37] http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/php5/php5-cli_5.2.6-2ubuntu4.6_amd64.deb [20:38] Gentoo64: To correct myself, the lucid partition was/is exclusive, wiped the whole drive, have (besides boot and swap) three logical partitions / and /home and /bulkdata, and now the new, extra / where I want 11.10 to live. [20:38] how do i make the digital clock app display regular non military time? [20:38] Gentoo64: By "install it manually", you mean...? [20:38] help please, i installe LAMP on my ubuntu 10.10, localhost works fine, but when trying opening any of apps on www, it gives me 403 forbidden You don't have permission to access /mysite/ on this server. what to do ?? [20:38] puff: you just using 1 / partition for the new one? [20:38] venik212, so you were doing the right thing with recovery mode, you just didnt do enough of it [20:38] venik212: the same? in recovery mode you are logged in as root I thought [20:38] Gentoo64: I want the two / installs to share /home [20:38] I know WHAT they want-- but I don't kow how to do it-- it is catch 22: to do it I need to be root [20:38] waheed: you give youreself the rights [20:38] Gentoo64: Though come to think of it, might be a good idea for them to have their own swaps, h. [20:39] puff: ok. so choose the mnaual partition method on install, and set the home partition as the /home mountpoint [20:39] puff: you'll be much happier with the -alternate CD image [20:39] OK, now I understand why installing Debian definitely worths it! [20:39] mneptok: Really? [20:39] I tried to type chmode 0440 sudoers [20:39] but it failed [20:39] venik212, in recovery you are root [20:39] venik212, and its chmod 440 /etc/sudoers [20:39] venik212: How did you try? which error do you get? [20:39] Why is font adjustment not available on oneiric out of the box? I find it a pretty wierd thing to remove... [20:39] smooph_ , I used chmod the www directory but still nothing [20:39] puff: really. parted is menu-driven. selecting what aprtitions to mount and use where is a breeze. [20:39] Mimoso98, using unsupported versions opens you to security holes. 8.10 isn't supported - and that includes here. Upgrading is really your only option. [20:40] sveinse, its there, just hidden a couple menus deep in the font preferences [20:40] sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0644, should be 0440 sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting [20:40] puff: remember, you're going to have to match UUIDs and such across installs to get file permissions happy. [20:40] venik212, you dont need to sudo in recovery mode. you are root already. sudo does nothing [20:40] venik212: in recovery mode you don't need sudo [20:40] smooph_ !! [20:40] I know-- I did not sudo there [20:40] mneptok: Right... does that just mean I have to tweak /etc/passwd & etc to make sure the user accounts have the same numbers? [20:41] just typed chmod 440 sudoers [20:41] escott: How to get there? [20:41] isn't that what I was supposed to type? [20:41] zykotick9, but I have a lot of stuff running there, and no time to erase and re-install a new version from scratch... [20:41] hello all [20:41] waheed: what exactly is the error msg ... there is a difference between not being able to open the location (lamp doesn't have the rights) not being able to access the location (.htaccess file) and a configuration error in lamp [20:41] help help help please, why no one answers me ?? [20:41] venik212, chmod 440 /etc/sudoers (just in case you arent already in etc) [20:41] why these updates are not done on real time... [20:41] Gentlemen. What's the best way to burn mp3s to a cd? [20:41] puff: just get used to creating users and groups from the command line, and you can tell the OS what UUID to assign. [20:41] let me try one more time... stay tuned [20:41] Mimoso98: you had 2 years to upgrade ;) [20:41] mneptok: Okay, that's easy enough. [20:42] !eol > Mimoso98 [20:42] Mimoso98, please see my private message [20:42] Mimoso98, so read what !eol is telling you [20:42] i have a small problem, im not sure how i did it before but i am trying to install ubuntu 10.4.3 server to a dell power edge, and well it freezes as soon as setup starts to boot on the language selection [20:42] smooph_ , 403 Forbidden You don't have permission to access /mysite/ on this server. [20:42] puff: but if you know what /etc/passwd *is* you are well capable of running the alternate install. [20:42] ok, switiching to Debian [20:42] thanks [20:42] waheed: Time to adjust permissions. [20:42] Mimoso98, ubuntu (and debian) are not rolling releases [20:42] Mimoso98: Good luck. [20:42] escott: i.e. I have no fonts preferences. not immediately in system settings at least [20:42] Mimoso98: You'll see the same issues there. [20:42] mneptok: I'm pretty familiar with this stuff, it's just the dual-boot aspect that's new to me. [20:43] No, [20:43] I already have a Debian server since 2009 [20:43] still working like a charm [20:43] and I still can install packages [20:43] sveinse, i know i saw this earlier. ill see if i can find it again [20:43] waheed: where is your mysite located on your maschine [20:43] Mimoso98: Okay then. Enoy it. :-) Use whatever works for you. [20:43] mneptok: So I run the alternate install CD, manual partitioning, select the new / for the system, select existing /home, then install, right? [20:43] im thinking i installed 10.4.0 and it worked then, but im not sure [20:43] smooph_ on /www [20:44] puff: the alternate installer has a few more install tweaks easily available. such as defining partition use and mount points, LUKS, dm-crypt etc etc [20:44] smooph sorry, on /var/www [20:44] mneptok: And afterwards, make sure I create users with the same UUIDs. [20:44] smooph_ on /var/www [20:44] puff: Users do not have a UUID. [20:44] mneptok: How do I set up the boot process? [20:44] They do have an UID. [20:44] whats the terminal command to install open office or libre office? [20:44] Corey adjust permission for which directory?? [20:44] puff: right, you'll get to partitioning, see the stuff that already there, and assign a mount point. you can tell the installer NOT to format it [20:44] sudo apt-get install libre-office? [20:44] bekks: Right, typo. [20:44] Can: aptitude install openoffice [20:44] Or apt-get install [20:45] waheed: Whatever's not permitting the apache user to view it. [20:45] which one is current? open or libre? [20:45] Can: Both. [20:45] puff: the GRUB installer should find the other /boot and menuitizerize it [20:45] sveinse, sorry its in gnome-tweak-tool under fonts. im not sure where unity has it. hopefully unity-tweak-tool? [20:45] mneptok: The GRUB installer from the new (11.10) install? [20:45] can both, I think that openoffice is just a metapackage for libre office anyway [20:46] waheed: try typing "chmod -R a+r /var/www/" [20:46] puff: another /boot should make GRUB set up menu entries for the other installation. but i have not done any of this recently. [20:46] Corey that is what I don't know exactly, what is not permitting me ?, I adjusted the permissions of my /var/www where the apps are, but still the same [20:46] i did sudo apt-get install libreoffice and its installing a junk load of packs [20:46] waheed: sry brainlag [20:46] dont [20:47] escott: Yeah, I have it in gnome-tweak-tool. My question was why it is removed from unity. Seems like a strange thing to do [20:47] can err yes, libreoffice itself is in many packages and it depends on many more [20:47] Can: So does openoffice. [20:47] hey as long as i can get my college work done with out having to turn on winfail im happy [20:47] if I want to maintain machines with a completely neutral timezone, would GMT or UTC be best to use? [20:48] c_k yes [20:48] sveinse, because if the user needs to specify rgb subpixel ordering thats a bug in the pango/xorg screen detection [20:48] how do i change the clock to display normal time not military time? [20:48] are GMT / UTC the same thing though? [20:48] c_k: technically no, realistically yes [20:48] aa [20:48] holaaa [20:48] waheed: actually that could work you need to give you webserver access to the files ... either allow everybody to read ... a+r or change ownership to www-data [20:48] escott: So its a temporary thing then, right? [20:48] Okay, this is tricky [20:49] al guien que hable español [20:49] %R is military %r givs me hh: mm: ss and i dont need the seconds [20:49] how search file by content in ubuntu 11.10 [20:49] dasy2k1: thanks :) [20:49] Are there any serious drawbacks to using ecryptfs instead of full disk encryption? [20:49] c_k: technically UTC dosent include leap seconds GMT does [20:49] this feature was there in 11.04 [20:49] I'm installing Lubuntu. Where can i check installation progress. Graphical menu says "getting file 1 of 1" for a while (looks stuck). Is there a log or something? [20:49] !es > rasta1 [20:50] mneptok: Okay, thanks. [20:50] sveinse, the menu disappearing is permanent, one hopes the support improves to the point where you dont have to worry that your subpixel order is wrong [20:51] rasta1, please see my private message [20:51] mneptok: Sounds risky enough that I'm going to wait until I get home and see if the overnight backups executed properly (didn't have time to check this morning :-() [20:52] Jonii^, drawbacks are it is a little slower, and uses a bit more disk space (very small amount that). advantages are flexibility [20:53] ist there an apt-get equivalent to dpkg -i --force-depends foo? [20:54] Jonii^, the other big disadvantage is the disadvantage that happens whenever you mix encrypted and non-encrypted content. its obvious what is encrypted and what is not, and leakages across the boundaries between the two can put encrypted data at risk [20:54] how search file by content in ubuntu 11.10 ??? this feature was there in 11.04 . [20:54] hi i am new here [20:54] welcome joebonni [20:54] thank you dasy2k1 [20:54] escott: Menu disappearing with unity is fine. But I do have objections to the choices concerning sizes of the fonts. They are too big for my taste [20:54] holaaaaa [20:54] Having large screen does not imply I want better rendering of the fonts. Rather I'd like more text into my screen [20:54] Why is it than when I update my NVIDIA drivers my workspace switcher becomes 1D? [20:54] Hi. I'm having trouble installing beanstalkd on Ubuntu Server 10.04. The package is supposed to be available on 10.04, but I can't install it via apt-get, and I have no idea why. [20:54] sveinse because unity is very new i have switched to gnome3 till all the things are worked out like when gnome 2 was new [20:54] It is supposed to be in the Ubuntu Universe repo. My sources.list has "multiverse universe", "universe", and "multiverse", but no "ubuntu uniserve". Is that the problem? === brim is now known as 45PAAKSRC [20:54] escott-- trying to change the mode from recovery mode (as root) failed. I typed: chmod 440 sudoers and got back: ..read-only file system [20:54] the results of ls -l sudoers were identical before and after my chmod [20:54] venik212, so you first need to mount -o remount,rw / [20:55] l [20:56] Does there exist a backports repo for natty? [20:56] Why is it than when I update my NVIDIA drivers my workspace switcher becomes 1D? [20:56] sveinse: software center-edit-sources, you can enable it there [20:57] shawn__, they didnt update correctly and you are now using an unaccelerated desktop [20:57] escott: I should type: mount -o remount, rw / ? [20:57] space after the rw? [20:57] Hi. I'm having trouble installing beanstalkd on Ubuntu Server 10.04. The package is supposed to be available on 10.04, but I can't install it via apt-get, and I have no idea why. It is supposed to be in the Ubuntu Universe repo. My sources.list has "multiverse universe", "universe", and "multiverse", but no "ubuntu uniserve". Is that the problem? [20:57] venik212, mount -o remount,rw / ( no space between remount,rw) [20:57] So I uninstalled them and all is well. So sandy bridge is running the graphics? [20:57] xangua: Do you have an URL reference instead? This is for a server where the sources file are edited manually? ... I can probably google for it... [20:58] thanks-- I'll try that [20:58] shawn__, yes sandys are supported in 11.10 [20:58] That's why it's so clean... 11.10 is so nice and so fast. [20:58] shawn__, but if you have two chips, the nvidia may not relinquish control of the graphics so you could be using nvidia unaccelerated [20:59] I made sure that no nvidia drivers were installed. [20:59] shawn__, not having drivers doesnt mean the hardware is using intel. check your bios and check your /var/log/Xorg.0.log [21:00] Jonii^, the other big disadvantage is the disadvantage that happens whenever you mix encrypted and non-encrypted content. its obvious what is encrypted and what is not, and leakages across the boundaries between the two can put encrypted data at risk <- I don't understand [21:00] in unity how do i get at the apps that minimise themselves to the gnome system tray in gnome, such as skype [21:00] And how would I do that, escott? [21:01] hey guys, I've installed 11.10 to a 8gb flash drive. I know this might be a stupid question, but. . . can I copy the entirety of that drive to another and boot from the second one? or do I need to do an install on the second one? === themoebius_ is now known as themoebius === potatoe is now known as dlublink [21:02] dasy2k1: you can whithelist all the apps to show then in the panel, saw a post about it on webupd8blog [21:02] Nixnine, from my understanding, as long a s the other drive is correct format, you should be able to [21:02] !google webupd8 oneiric tweak [21:02] I have no google command, use http://www.google.com/ [21:02] I'd have to say, being an experienced Linux user and developer, I always feel like a fish being out of the water when I encounter a new Ubuntu release. It seems Ubuntu has strong opinions on how the user should be using the desktop. [21:02] ups, well just do the google dasy2k1 ;) [21:02] Nixnine: dd if=/dev/sdx of=/dev/sdy where x and y are the two flash drives (make sure you get this right, it will nuke anything at the destination) [21:03] Jonii-^, a couple cases (a) you are editing an encrypted file, but the kernel swaps gedit out to swap, and so the unencrypted contents are written in plaintext to your swap partition. (b) the FBI raids your office and takes your computer, and finds a folder labeled "money_laundering_operations" with encrypted files inside it, they know exactly where to look and where to put their efforts [21:03] sveinse: thats sort of the point of it [21:03] Would I just be better off installing anew? Didn't take that much time actually. [21:04] Jonii-^, the classic problem of encryption is "what is easier to break... you encryption key, or your arm?" you need to think about what you are trying to protect and establish appropriate levels of security for the value of those items [21:04] escott, but assuming reasonably strong key, fbi should not have a chance of decrypting my money_laundering_operations -file, just like the case is with full disk encryption? [21:04] Gentoo64: Being a fish out of water or having strong opinions? :P :D [21:04] Jonii-^, a random backpack snatcher at a starbucks is not going to pick apart your swap partition bit by bit to find your secrets, the FBI will [21:04] Hi Gentoo64 [21:04] lololol [21:05] venluckey: hi [21:05] escott, does ubuntu allow installing itself with full partition encryption on swap and ecryptfs ? [21:05] Wouldn't that solve swap-problems kinda nicely? [21:06] Jonii-^, if you are worried about the FBI use full disk encryption so that nothing leaks to swap (and then use a truecrypt hidden volume). if you dont want the guy at starbucks to be able to get your bank account number ecryptfs is good enough and a lot easier [21:06] Will Ubuntu ever be as conservative on power as Windows? [21:06] shawn__: who knows [21:06] shawn__, use powertop [21:07] shawn__, and i cant comment on your bios, but if you want to past your Xorg.0.log i can tell you what you are running [21:07] !paste | shawn__ [21:07] shawn__: 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. [21:08] What is Xorg.0.log? [21:08] Ok. Another question. How can I add an account other than google in the messaging menu? [21:08] shawn__: xorgs log [21:08] shawn__, /var/log/Xorg.0.log it will say how your X server configured the graphics [21:09] hi [21:09] hi dope [21:10] bye [21:10] Nixnine: what do you mean¿ email¿ [21:10] bye [21:10] http://paste.ubuntu.com/728548/ [21:11] what do you think about ubuntu 10.11?? [21:11] 10.11 is kinda wrong :P [21:11] d4nt3: there is no such thing [21:11] escott, how about sleep mode for netbook, are there any reasonable differences between security of ecryptfs and full disk encryption? [21:11] d4nt3, me I hate it [21:11] yes. I think. [21:11] d4nt3: also, this channel isn't for opinion polls [21:11] It's an option under my name in the right hand corner [21:11] i mean UNR 10.11 [21:12] <--- Using 10.04 Netbook [21:12] Is it possible to fix an Advanced Format Drive's misaligned sectors without losing all of my data? [21:12] d4nt3, ubuntu versions end in 4 or 10 - to 10.10 do you mean? [21:12] d4nt3: there is no 10.11, there's 10.04, 10.10, 11.04 and 11.10, but no 10.11 [21:12] i mean Ubuntu Netbook Remix ver 10.11 [21:12] DavidCA: are you sure its misaligned ? do you have 4k sectors or 512byte ? [21:12] anyone here know how to auto add numbers to a column in libreoffice writer ? (sort 001 in column A row 2 in the table) [21:13] oooppp....sorry my mistake....i mean 11.04 [21:13] shawn__, i read that as intel all the way [21:13] d4nt3: there is no netbook remix now [21:13] Where do I get powertop? [21:13] shawn__: a gay bar ;) [21:13] boom [21:13] failure: 4k sectors. and yes, its misaligned because I used CloneZilla to to clone from a non-advanced format drive to an advanced format 4k sector drive [21:13] Myrtti: you can add any pop/imap account you want on thunderbird, don't know about exchange [21:13] is there any ubuntu that still download video in tmp file?? [21:13] that was for Nixnine ;) [21:13] failure: it even says so in the GUI Disk Manager or whatever its called [21:13] ActionParsnip: CUte. [21:14] How do I disable WINDOWS + 1 2 3 4 5 etc keybinds in unity? [21:14] d4nt3: if you are refering to adobe flash, adobe is the one that decides where it want to store the files, not ubuntu [21:14] DavidCA: yes, it dosnt take in mind that we can use 4k sectors :P so its prob. not misaligned [21:14] failure: im pretty sure it is, i googled around and it said something about starting on sector 64, but mine starts on sector 63 [21:15] Jonii-^, assuming that it is password protected and you aren't logged in on tty1 then they would have to reboot to get access to the system at which point ecryptfs loopbacks will be unmounted and they won't be able to access the files on the drive, but the fbi would not make that mistake. they would keep it powered on and hack into it while you were still logged in. and if they got a system that had been turned off they would scan the sw [21:15] ap bit by bit which ecryptfs does not protect (you can use dmcrypt on the swap partition to prevent swap attacks) [21:15] d4nt3: there are extensions and addons to download youtube. There is als0 youtube-dl you can use in cli [21:15] thats mean if i want to download video to tmp file...i have to download the previous flash version??? [21:15] How can I enable third button emulation/paste on my touchpad on oneiric? [21:15] shawn__, sudo apt-get install powertop [21:15] failure: http://pastebin.com/dm1kiEiG [21:16] youtube-dll won't in my computer [21:16] i went into sshd.config and changed rootlogin to no, however i can still login as root. And yes, i restarted the ssd demon [21:16] why? [21:16] Here is where I access the option, under online accounts. http://imagebin.org/182504 [21:16] Jonii-^, who are you trying to protect yourself from? who are you worried about? tell us all your secrets :) [21:16] dannnnn: disable the root account as it is supposed to be and it will double protect you :) [21:16] i dont follow... [21:16] disable root account? [21:16] dannnnn: did you stop and start the ssh service after you editted the file? [21:16] yes i did [21:17] dannnnn: there isn't supposed to be root account enabled in the first place [21:17] dannnnn: yes, default ubuntu has the root account disabled [21:17] dannnnn, do you mean you can ssh root@host or that you can sudo after ssh username@host [21:17] i can ssh root@host [21:17] DavidCA: thats cylinders, not block you start at cylinder 1 [21:17] dannnnn: and AFAIK ssh root login should also be disabled by default [21:17] dannnnn: you shouldn't be able to as the account is disabled [21:17] escott, at the moment, from backpack thief, but if I would like it if I did have my laptop secured so well even FBI couldn't touch it [21:17] Myrtti: Its not actually. [21:17] Myrtti: its allowed in sshd_config which is strange [21:17] live and learn... [21:18] Google is the only thing I can add [21:18] DavidCA: 1C = 512B according yo your past bin [21:18] Jonii-^, if you want that higher level of protection use truecrypt [21:18] If it's possible without any extreme measures. You know, safety is fun [21:18] "Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary." [21:18] Jonii-^, its more work, and is harder to setup is all, and you cant let anyone touch the machine while its powered on and have any security [21:18] It'd be fun to know that even if my netbook was stolen, there's absolutely no way anyone can steal anything whatsoever out of it [21:19] any vpn guides? [21:19] DavidCA: google it up, and count on your own if its inlined or missaligned... it dont trust the "dist utility" anymore [21:19] !vpn | k3n [21:19] k3n: For more information on vpn please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN [21:19] DavidCA: and what disks are you using ? [21:19] 2TB WD [21:20] Can you get ecryptfs running during install? How about disk encryption? [21:20] DavidCA: ok some as me i guess, so we are at 4k blocks [21:20] Jonii, I had mine3 lifted at school, i put a boot message saying about the source code needed to be re-established, All disc are locked! Janitors found it in a trash can 2 days later [21:20] DavidCA, is it a WD green because thats 4k that pretends to be 512b [21:20] escott: yeah it is [21:21] DavidCA, thats true 4k that lies. treat it as 4k [21:21] And, likewise, can you get easily ecryptfs running after installing, and how about disk encryption? [21:21] Jonii-^, ecryptfs is flexible, truecrypt requires a reinstall [21:21] i guess it scared them enough to ditch it [21:21] its this one: http://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-Caviar-Intellipower-Desktop/dp/B004VFJ9MK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1320441664&sr=8-1 [21:21] escott, also, I was under impression truecrypt didn't support full system disk encryption on Ubuntu? [21:21] DavidCA: tell your fdisk to print blocks and not cylinders [21:22] failure: how [21:22] Jonii-^, i think truecrypt is overkill for anyone but freedom fighters and spies, so maybe truecrypt isnt the best choice. but there are a number of full disk encryption tools for linux [21:23] I've got a web server with a dedicated unprivileged user (not www-data) who runs the apache instance on the box. The code from the webserver is in a private github repo that I occasionally need to git pull to update. I wish to pull using my personal credentials (my local id_rsa key), but for security reasons, I can only access the box via a second, non-root account, and then sudo -iu username into the web server user. I've tried enabl [21:23] ssh-agent forwarding, and even had sudo keep the SSH_AUTH_SOCK env variable, but the auth sock file has the wrong permissions (700 for the user I ssh'd into). Is there a way to change the permissions in an automated fashion? [21:23] ok. So I've got version 0.1 of my project done. Its usable, and stable as far as I know, but not tested. I want to get this package to appear in synaptic... Wheres the definitive guide to package creation/publishing/contibuting please? [21:23] DavidCA, just make sure you are 4k aligned and that should be good enough [21:23] escott: what should I be doing to verify that/ [21:24] DavidCA, if you get a cylinder count then count each cylinder as 512b. but tools like parted/gparted should give you size without the CHS nonsense [21:25] huh? [21:25] Hello [21:25] DavidCA: its true, start at 63 sector is missalined, you shall start at 64 [21:25] DavidCA, if your tool is telling you cylinders use another tool. so if you are using fdisk use parted or gparted [21:25] DavidCA: (64*512)/4096 = 8 [21:25] how to play .tak files? [21:26] DavidCA: (63*512)/4096 = 7.8 in other words missalined [21:27] DavidCA: if you dont have any data on it delete the partition and readd it and tell it to start at 64 [21:27] thats the problem, i do have all my data on it [21:27] DavidCA: if you have data on it, do some reading before altering your partition table [21:27] http://pastebin.com/uV2LbiyA [21:27] I'm having some trouble with my window decorator. 'gtk-window-decorator --replace &' works, but window decoration ceases when terminal is closed [21:27] DavidCA, at one point the disk manufactures suggested that the disk not only would lie about the size of the cylinders but also lie about where the cylinders started and so 63 would be aligned and 64 would not be. i think they realized how stupid an idea that would be, but i would just trust a recent version of gparted to get it right and leave it at that [21:27] DavidCA: it is possible to remove the partition table with data on it and re add it, you will just loose the first sector eg 64 [21:28] err [21:28] 63 [21:28] but that can maybe fuck something up [21:28] hrmm [21:28] and the data that is on the disk is still missalined [21:28] reise6, nohup gtk-window-decorator --replace [21:28] <_r00t_> Is http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ the only place for kernels ?

[21:29] _r00t_, they package vanilla kernels for ubuntu. but you can just use stock [21:29] guntbert: ? [21:29] escott: thanks. I have to look up this nohup thing, seems nice :) [21:29] failure: no swear words here, thank you [21:29] <_r00t_> escott, stock doesn't work otherwise I wouldn't be looking there ! [21:29] guntbert: ooo, didnt even notice, sorry [21:30] _r00t_, then try the vanilla ppa or you have to compile your own === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [21:31] <_r00t_> escott, Hi, ant ideas as what I ppa I should add to synaptic ?

[21:33] _platypus_ its not closed, just minimized. you have to ctrl-q to quit it fully (like the messaging application) [21:33] hello [21:33] <_platypus_> I'll get that a whirl. Thanks. [21:34] <_platypus_> *give [21:34] <_r00t_> escott, that's only relevant to launchpad ppas ... How do I add http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/ [21:34] _platypus_: because it doesn't close, it goes to indicator sound [21:34] <_platypus_> So hitting x (close) just minimizes it? Odd. [21:34] _r00t_: that is not a repository , you can download the package manually ;) [21:35] <_r00t_> xangua, that's what i've been doing and it's way too much effort LOL ! [21:35] _r00t_, if its not listed here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds then its probably because a ppa for a kernel isn't a great idea. there are a LARGE number of kernel updates, much more than is needed for anyone but a kernel developer [21:35] whois escot [21:35] _r00t_: too much effot to download the main packages and the other 2 that correspond to your arch¿ === como is now known as Guest74756 [21:36] _r00t_: sounds like you will be better if you stick to the kernel provided by main repository ;) [21:36] user_: scottie doesn't know¿ great song ;) [21:37] What's the best source for finding out how to install ubuntu with encryption enabled? [21:37] On a netbook [21:37] Most sources I found on google were really really badly outdated [21:37] <_r00t_> xangua, yeah ! 3 downloads ! - I'm running 3.0.8 on 11.04 with 285.05.09 Nvidia drivers [21:38] _r00t_: you have linux 3.0 on oneiric ;) [21:39] Jonii-^, what kind of encryption do you want. you still need to decide that [21:39] <_r00t_> xangua, I'd rather stick to what I've got thanks. [21:40] escott, I'm unsure still. If it only was as easy to do full disk encryption on Ubuntu as it is on WIndows(with truecrypt), I'd probably use full-disk [21:40] But I guess ecryptfs is good enough, if it's a lot easier to install and use [21:40] <_r00t_> xangua, Don't forget I have to reboot into single user mode just to build all this crap.... Had it been in the repo I wouldn't have to go through that pain [21:41] _r00t_: build¿¿ those are just percompiled packages [21:41] I get this impression they're both good enough [21:41] <_r00t_> xangua, Nvidia driver is not [21:41] Jonii-^, so ecryptfs is literally a checkbox. if you want to go with full disk they recommend LUKS https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystems https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/System_Encryption_with_LUKS [21:42] <_r00t_> time to reboot - ciao [21:43] escott, that's solely for full disk encryption and not for ecryptfs? [21:44] the last two links are for full disk related things [21:44] Jonii-^, for ecryptfs you just click the "encrypted home" during the install and thats all you need to do [21:45] Oh, ok [21:45] Anyone know a repo which contains a more recent version of calibre than the one in the regular ubuntu repos? [21:45] I think I did do that on this install though [21:45] But it didn't happen, I think [21:46] Can I get my encrypted home now, after install? [21:46] For my tabletop. My netbook still has to have ubuntu installed on it [21:47] Jonii-^, if you type `mount` does it mention /home/username/.ecryptfs anywhere? [21:49] Goodbye ! [21:49] <_r00t_> escott, you there [21:49] escott, it mentions /home/username/.Private [21:49] But not .ecryptfs [21:50] Jonii-^, i think thats the same thing [21:50] windows died on me with the blue screen of death [21:50] Jonii-^, its a fuse ecryptfs filesystem with "device" /home/username/.something mounted on /home/username [21:50] loopy: it happens [21:50] loopy, we can't help you with that [21:50] now on ubuntu 11.04 should i update to 11.10? [21:50] <_r00t_> can anyone help me diagnose why cpu scaling is not working ? It works perfectly fine in windows [21:50] loopy, yes [21:50] loopy: is Natty working ok? [21:51] loopy, unless you are depending on ubuntu classic, which is no longer going to be there [21:51] hello [21:51] I had to go back to classic mode, this new look was too weird for me [21:51] loopy: if it's ok then why fix it if it ain't broke [21:51] is there a way to fix samba or win7 to connect together over samba? [21:51] loopy: natty is still very supported :) [21:51] _r00t_, in what way is it not working [21:52] Jonii-^, if you have that then your home folder is encrypted, and if you were to logout, then it would be unaccessible [21:52] it won't be supported for too much longer [21:52] <_r00t_> escott, cpu scaling doesn't work.... suspend to ram doesn't work [21:52] and there's no upgrade path except through 11.10 [21:52] <_r00t_> BS ubuntu tbh [21:52] written: the way I've got it to work is to run: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER then you can authenticate as your user with the password you set :) [21:52] has anyone tryed to clone an ubuntu systen from single HDD to RAID config (raid in hardware mode, nvidia raid) [21:52] !nowork [21:52] OLÁ ENTREM NO SERVIDOR irc.BrasIRC.org, e conecte num servidor aonde ircops/admins não leêm seus pvts.!

Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [21:53] <_r00t_> it does not work FACT --- period . I've tried all the kernels from 2.6 and am currently running 3.1 it doesn't work - ubuntu doesn't work [21:53] Hi, i was trying to partition my hdd and trying to mount root and home under a logical volume. when i tried to set the boot flag for root partition, it was throwing an error on setting boot flag for a logical volume. should i proceed without a boot flag? === Mud is now known as Guest31255 [21:53] /home/jonii/.Private on /home/jonii type ecryptfs (ecryptfs... ) is the only reference to ecryptfs when I typed mount [21:54] <_r00t_> escott, can you help ? [21:54] r3b00tx, yes [21:54] _r00t_, without knowing specifics no [21:54] escott, thanks :) [21:54] Jonii-^, /home/jonii is encrypted [21:54] So I get this impression I'd need to make a special private-folder(which would be encrypted by filesystem encryption) by a special command ecryptfs(), and home is not encrypted at all [21:55] Jonii-^, the ciphertext can be found in /home/jonii/.Private [21:55] <_r00t_> escott, cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors does not exist [21:55] <_r00t_> escott, that is the problem - please fix [21:55] Jonii-^, it is loop mounted back onto /home/jonii to make it transparently accessible, and when you logout it is unmounted and only the ciphertext remains [21:56] _r00t_, well does /sys/devices/system/cpu exist and what are its contents [21:56] escott, okay, ty [21:56] <_r00t_> escott, yes of course it does - or else I wouldn't be able to IRC [21:58] <_r00t_> ls -l sys/devices/system/cpu | write escott << http://paste.ubuntu.com/728593/ [21:59] hi! internet works very slow in ubuntu compared to windows.

The info I have is an IPSec ID, and IPSec secret, and Xauth username, and an IPSec gateway. I don't see fields for ID or Secret when I go to the "VPN Connections -> Configure VPN" in Ubuntu 11.10. any suggestions of how to set this up? [22:02] And pretty much everything else [22:02] first was the nvidia [22:03] hey [22:03] now i have not clue what can be [22:03] but i still like it [22:03] hi just upgraded to ubuntu 10.10. Now flash and mp3s freeze up the player. Ive installed restricted extras. How do I debug? (linux newbie) [22:04] mate i have not a clue it happens to me i think is nautilus [22:04] <_r00t_> escott, any ideas ? [22:04] do that on shell [22:04] david028 Hmm... open console [22:05] which one is best for gui development ? gtk ? qt ? wx ? [22:05] _r00t_, thats an odd one. what kind of cpu is this?

[22:08] merci bro :) === tk is now known as Guest20087 === tlocalhos is now known as localhost [22:08] NoReGreT, yes [22:08] <_r00t_> escott, I think it's a problem with acpi ... do you know what would be the best way to diagnose it ? [22:09] escott: i created the path that gave the error. now, after login, the the directory is opened, that's it === keggy is now known as Guest76177 [22:09] escott: opened with nautilus i mean [22:09] whats up with avahi-daemon is it really needed [22:10] <_r00t_> escott, You there ? Need your expert skills [22:11] ya me too i need an avahi-daemon expert [22:11] Hello there. I enabled Compiz in my Ubuntu 11.10 and now I don't have the upper menu anymore and I can't open my terminal through ctrl+alt+t anymore [22:11] how can I fix it? [22:11] _r00t_, i would think this is something acpi couldnt touch, but maybe. im afraid i dont know the answer to that one [22:11] NoReGreT, does the window automatically open? [22:12] <_r00t_> escott, ok .... thanks for trying [22:12] escott: yeah, just after login [22:12] vuln: what window manager are you using === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [22:13] NoReGreT, so the culprit is nautilus. its remembering that the window was open and wants to open it again or something [22:13] chaos_: well, I just installed my Ubuntu 11.10 and enabled compiz [22:13] nautilus = slow [22:13] and now it's all messed up [22:13] unity is gone and so on chaos_ [22:13] NoReGreT, do you also see messages about ejecting the usb disk. does it seem to think the usb disk was plugged in? [22:13] hi, need a help. why did , when i edited setting in /etc/issue and /etc/lsb-release, it reset to default after a reboot. million thanx to anyone who can actually solve this prob for me [22:14] escott: no messages of any sort, just the nautilus window opens with that direcroty [22:15] NoReGreT, im not really sure. there are lots of nautilus settings, but none that i know of which would make it open a folder on startup [22:15] ya i been fightin with my UI also. you might just logout to the sign on screen and login to unity2D [22:15] chaos_: if you find nautilusslow try rox or pcmanfm [22:16] see if it makes a difference [22:16] escott: hmm, also happened after logout then login.. [22:16] thanks I will check those out. [22:17] Under compiz there is a discrepancy in how windows show up in expo workspaces and with how they show up (or don’t show up) in xfce's workspaces in the panel.

I’m running 32bit Xubuntu 11.10. [22:17] hey all [22:17] hey [22:18] i have a problem with connecting to wireless network on ubuntu 11.10. At first it connects but after 2 secs it disconnects. What should i do? [22:19] hey [22:19] it's a WPA with password. [22:19] urxvt doesnt respond to alt+number, so i'm having trouble changing windows in irssi [22:19] you sure it connects and then disconnects [22:19] hi, i'm trying to update java on ubuntu. i have no idea where to start. [22:19] onsofth, google it [22:20] alright, stupid question time: i set a keybinding (in metacity, via gconf-editor) to ^P accidentally, then set it to something else. whatever was ^P before is unset now, because it fails to work in e.g. chrome, irssi [22:20] i've been unable to find what was ^P before, to reset it :x [22:20] ule, i did and tried some solutions [22:20] ule, i also downloaded it from the java website as a bin file, installed it, but when i went to check my java version, it said i was still using the old version [22:21] onsofth: use the ubuntu software center or update app [22:21] onsofth, you shouldn't be downloading java from anywhere. install it through apt [22:21] sorry if anyone replied my irc webchat froze. I have no sound since upgrade to 10.10. How do I debug? [22:21] onsofth, you have to uninstall first [22:21] How do I get ZSNES out of fullscreen? [22:21] Preferably without starting it? [22:21] Now that I set up Compiz, binds like ctrl+alt+t stopped working. How can I get them back? [22:22] so in the software center, i should uninstall old java, then install new java from the software center as well? [22:22] djskidd, f11? [22:22] no dice [22:22] chaos_, yes, i'm sure. it keeps dropping. [22:22] hello everyone, I'm using ubuntu oneiric ocelot and I'm looking for a way to disable the behaviour that merges the maximized window's titlebar with the top pane... also it'd be great if i could somehow force the menu bar to be always visible instead of when mouse over [22:22] djskidd: hi again do you know how to fix 10.10 audio? It worked before upgrade to 10.10 [22:22] !google | ule [22:22] ule: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question.

[22:32] kronoman, understandable but if all you have left is the amount of the unity desktop which is very tiny you risk having the disc filled just with a log and being locked out, and having to clean something out with a booted cd, or by possiblt chrooting in, not very good practice.

[22:35] <_r00t_> thanks carl_ - I has sounds [22:35] can ubuntu be cloned (with all installed software and config) i have a complex HDD config? [22:35] Screw it [22:35] Can't even stay on to get help [22:35] Can anyone help me with getting crontab to work? [22:35] api984: use dd or rsync [22:35] api984, yes. rsync is your friend [22:35] I installed lubuntu on my netbook with an encrypted home and gparted shows swap as unknown fs [22:36] aulin: are you using a desktop UI? [22:36] kronoman, i don't want to find my "optimus" display, i've found it last week and it annoyed me enough :P [22:36] ActionParsnip: Nope. Command line. [22:36] I can't seem to get crontab to work. :/ Using crontab -e, adding line */10 * * * * tar -zcf /home/johan/Dropbox/backup_notes/notes_$(date %Y%m%d).tar.gz -C /home/johan/Dropbox notes [22:36] duckweed: here is a thread on a mailing list on the very topic https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-March/016602.html read all the posts [22:36] aulin: and does what you want to schedule need root access? [22:36] I tried to run stressapptest to load my ram and it froze my mahine (was going to use free -m to see swap under load) [22:36] i am trying to make 3xHDD in fakeRAID (raid 0) , 1 HDD sigle installed ubuntu. transfering from single to dmraid aka fakeraid [22:36] urlin2u, Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter is my card. [22:36] duckweed: this is one relevent link someone posts https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization?action=show&redirect=InstallCDCustomizationHowTo [22:37] ActionParsnip: No, it's just taring a dir under my regular user [22:37] so I am wondering if ubuntu is indeed using my swap [22:37] aulin: ok thats cool, so is that every 10 days run the command? Is that right? [22:37] Seveas: i still need NOT to copy over fstab and /boot [22:37] what is the actual use of swap? [22:37] api984: you added 2 drive to a drive that had ubuntu on it and you want to use all 3 in a raid? [22:37] it shows 0 [22:37] <_r00t_> bunzip2 -c linux-3.1.tar.bz2 | tar xvf - && cp /usr/src/linux-headers-3.1.0-030100rc10-generic/.config . [22:38] It should be every 10 minutes, every day, month, and weekday [22:38] riffautae: nop [22:38] api984: ok so you just have 3 more drives and want to raid? [22:38] <_r00t_> make -j17 oldconfig [22:38] riffautae: 3x160gb raid 0, 1hdd of 500gb ubuntu installed. need to transfer from 500gb to raid config [22:38] riffaute: i dont really get an answer from there, but my gut says , i better leave them as it is. just change the other. thanx for the info! [22:38] aulin: ok let me check [22:38] <_r00t_> make xconfig failed [22:38] djskidd you there? [22:39] <_r00t_> Unable to find the QT4 tool qmake. Trying to use QT3 [22:39] api984: the data or the whole install? [22:39] aulin: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/crontab-every-10-min/ [22:39] riffautae: whole install [22:39] api984, that's why rsync has --exclude :) [22:39] Seveas: yup [22:39] aulin: I'd make a script, then cron the script [22:39] Seveas: still thinking what needs to be excluded [22:39] dynafish: post your /etc/fstab to a pastbin [22:40] can someone help me fix my sound on ubuntu 10.10. It worked on 10.4 [22:40] api984, /sys /proc /dev /tmp and /etc/fstab [22:40] Seveas: and /boot [22:40] maybe [22:40] david028, what is the problem with your sound? no sound at all? [22:40] Seveas: grub menu.lst [22:40] depends on how you installed the system you're cloning to [22:40] ActionParsnip: Thanks. But shouldn't it work to just run the command straight up? Running tar is even in the example in the comments of the crontab file. [22:40] <_r00t_> apt-get install qt4-make [22:40] david028, I solved my sound going to a terminal and using alsamixer to check the volume of each channel, some were disabled [22:40] Seveas: disk wont be /dev/sdX it will be something else [22:40] kronoman: freezes everything that tries to use it [22:41] api984: you cant just copy grub to a diff hdd especially a raid [22:41] last clone I did was to exactly the same hdd (well, ssd drive) and was simply booting from livecd and ssh+dd [22:41] riffautae: i thought so [22:41] <_r00t_> sod it .... I'll use make menuconfig instead [22:41] ActionParsnip: Is there a GUI for crontab, though? I might try that instead. [22:41] aulin: not sure dude, worth exploring [22:41] api984: you have to install it and figure out how to get the bios to regognise your /boot partition [22:41] aulin: there is gnome-schedule [22:41] riffautae: i am making a fresh same version install on raid === daniel__ is now known as dbarcelini [22:41] api984: on my NAS with raid i just have another drive for the os so that i dont have to fuss with that and then backup that drive to the raid [22:42] riffautae: after new install i will try to overwrite [22:42] kronoman:Nope theyre up [22:42] I can't connect to a WPA network. My network card is Atheros AR9285 and router is Huawei something. I use Ubuntu 11.10, and i'm connecting from my mobile phone, i need "real" internet. Any ideas? [22:43] ActionParsnip: Thanks! I'll try using that. [22:43] riffautae: what do you suggest about using a memory stick as swap? [22:43] Edit: I can connect, if you call it connecting. Network keeps disconnecting frequently. [22:43] hello every1 [22:44] api984: flash storage has limited writes. if you use swap a lot it will shorten its life [22:44] how do I set 32 bit color in kubuntu virtual box guest? Ive installed guest additions but I can only get 24 bit color [22:44] api984: you can put swap on raid, the memory stick will get worn out quickly [22:44] ActionParsnip: i agree [22:44] david028, and what card do you have? does it shows up in lspci? [22:44] riffautae: agreed [22:44] kronoman: oh sorry I ment 11.10 not 10.10 [22:45] <_r00t_> make -j5 [22:45] <_r00t_> in the old days it would take 45 minutes to build a kernel [22:45] kronoman: intil n10/ich 7 family hd audio c [22:45] kronoman:intel [22:46] api984: i think i have it on the small drive with / [22:46] api984: if you have enough ram the swap wont matter much [22:46] i guess i have to use windows right now. [22:46] _r00t_: my first gentoo build took 2 days [22:46] :rage quit: [22:47] riffautae: low ram [22:47] <_r00t_> api echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness [22:47] <_r00t_> ActionParsnip, :) You rox ! [22:47] riffautae: i put one old module today making it 3gb ram [22:47] riffautae: 2gb not enough [22:48] riffautae: pc slows down when ram usage is over 90%, starts blocking, swapping..... [22:48] Hello world ! [22:49] kronoman: ok in system settings>sound there is nothing listed under hardware or output [22:49] <_r00t_> is building a kernel http://img6.imagebanana.com/img/tbtcvyds/Workspace1_001.jpeg [22:50] hello, I'm using ubuntu 11.10 on a virtual machine, and dislay it on the 2nd screen with resultion 1920x1080, but i can't set that resolution, it is not available, can i configure it somewhere ??? [22:51] kkamal, did u install VirtualBox Additions within the virtual machine? [22:51] It's depend the Virtual Machine [22:52] kkamal - I mean the VB Guest Additions. === guy is now known as Guest71128 [22:53] david028, weird, does alsa rdetects it? [22:53] is there a nautilus setting that makes it open a window with a directory after login ? [22:53] : i dont know right off hand but you can change the resolution. get the virtualbox manual from the website [22:54] koronoman alsa rdetects? how do I do that? [22:54] <_r00t_> this eeesss taking time [22:54] Unity sucks but I have decided to give it a chance. How do I get "Workspace Switcher" off the launcher bar? [22:54] its a command line argument. there is alot of hidden options that are only accessible from the command line utility for virtualbox [22:55] <_r00t_> M0TRN_th1, we know it sux tell us something we don't already know [22:55] kronoman: I put it in terminal and get usage: /sbin/alsa {unload/reload/force-unload/force-reload/suspend/resume} [22:55] david028, google your sound card, I tried and there is lots of reports of problems of no sound, some forum must have the answer, I cant because Im on a really slow connection [22:55] ya we know it sucks haha [22:55] _r00t_, lol [22:55] david028, alsamixer [22:55] why is oneiric then released with it and not even fallback by default? [22:55] david028, alsamixer shows the card, etc, on mine on top left [22:55] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricOcelot/ReleaseNotes#Upgrading_from_Ubuntu_11.04 says to use "sudo do-release-upgrade -d" but thats not right, is it? [22:55] <_r00t_> M0TRN_th1, I use gnome 2 / compiz - it works no need to fux it [22:55] _r00t_, heh ok [22:56] ActionParsnip: gnome-schedule helped me find the error. Apparently crontab uses % as a special character, so I had to backslash escape the %-signs for the date command. It works now! :) [22:56] in a year ubuntu will have a grip on it and it will be better then anything [22:56] kronoman: alsamixer shows my card ok hda intel realtek alc1200 [22:56] I already installed the fallback package but the System menu is gone and other fuckage [22:56] so I thought I'd try unity === kevin is now known as Guest56066 [22:56] david028, hit F2 on alsamixer, and check all the info it shows [22:57] Hi everyone, could anyone help me install adobe flash on Ubuntu 11.10 64bit? [22:57] david028, /proc/asound/* has lots of files with info on it too about the sound [22:57] <_r00t_> sudo apt-get install qt3-dev-tools libqt3-mt-dev # if you plan to use 'make xconfig' || D'Oh now you tell me ... kernel is building [22:57] chaos_, EuroNerd, am using parallels on mac os x [22:57] <-- uses multiple window managers depending on how he feels and what he gots to do [22:57] david028, try turning on/off each one of the channels on alsamixer using the M key also, and going on the other views with TAB [22:57] Guest56066: enable partner repo and install adobe-flashplugin [22:57] david028, usually when I have problems with my card is because a channel is off [22:58] what packages should I install to get decent gnome functionality back? [22:58] ActionParsnip: I don't see a partner repo in the software center? [22:58] kronoman: version 1.0.24. dont understand the rest [22:59] M0TRN_th1, gnome-shell , I did it and you can use gnome3 or gnome classic when you log in back [22:59] Guest56066: you can uncomment it in /etc/apt/sources.list if you want, remember to run: sudo apt-get update afterwards [22:59] kkamal, I apologize then, I have no experience with Parallels. VB is as good and it's free, so it's my preferred virtualization tool. [22:59] Is there a way to copy/paste the content of the terminal window without using the mouse? [22:59] david028, everything inside /proc/asound is the info of your card, try turning on the channels using the M key on alsamixer [22:59] on each channel [23:00] kkamal, in fact you could try VB as a solution to your problem. ;) [23:00] david028, on a terminal> cat /proc/asound/cards does show your card? [23:00] kronoman: yea there all on. Front speakers on [23:00] mmm your speakers are plugged and with good volume? you are trying to listen some music? [23:00] ZeitFight: if its the output of a command, you can pipe it to pastebinit or xclip [23:00] <_r00t_> I'm an idiot ... I forgot to reboot into the overclocked profile. Kernel is still compiling - Tubleweed http://img6.imagebanana.com/img/jxb6ql3u/Workspace1_002.jpeg [23:01] kronoman: everything that tries to use audio freezes [23:01] _r00t_: We don't need a play-by-play, thanks. [23:01] * _r00t_ wonders if there's a Makefile switch to show full debugging during make [23:01] david028, I give up, I dont have a clue then :o [23:01] hi [23:01] ActionParsnip: That didn't work, firefox still asks for a plugin? [23:01] ActionParsnip: How? [23:02] EuroNerd, this is the 2nd time a re install the box, I don't have time and motivation to do that again, I thought it would be possible to configure that manually somewhere [23:02] ActionParsnip: and chromium [23:02] Heya, I got a little problem with my ubuntu 11.10, running on a lenovo ideapad U460 (and installed via netinstall). When I start the distro, it show me that : http://pastebin.com/aB1KQafs in a black background. I updated the system with the latest update and so, and I don't know how to correct it, I can access to the console mode, but nothing else. [23:02] am facing a frustrating issue here, i created an raid array and i cannot format it to ext4 [23:02] <_r00t_> Pici - .ignore works - no ? [23:02] Guest56066: did the package install ok? [23:02] ActionParsnip: mhm [23:02] mkfs -t ext4 -q /dev/md0partprobe ; mkfs -t ext4 -q /dev/md0 [23:03] Guest56066: did you close the browser then rerun it? [23:03] I am wanting to do the best narrowing down as possible on searching log data....... with egrep 'string1|string2|string3' i believe does string1 or string2 or string3 I am wanting to find string1 and string2 and string3 in a line not or i want all conditions to match [23:03] Could not stat /dev/md0partprobe --- No such file or directory [23:03] The device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly? [23:03] ActionParsnip: I closed them before installing, and after starting them after install and seeing nothing worked, restarted both and tried again [23:03] _r00t_: This channel is busy enough as it is. #ubuntu-offtopic exists for precisely this reason. [23:03] what am doing wrong? [23:03] Ntemis: try to use gparted ? [23:03] how can one encrypt home post-install? [23:03] cant [23:04] ZeitFight: just pipe like you normally would, xclip is a cli interface to the clipboard, or you can use pastebinit which will make a url [23:04] am on a server with only ssh [23:04] Ntemis: Can't you boot it via livecd on this server? [23:04] kronoman: I just tried this help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure Top command, I get libasound2 already the newest version 0 upgraded, 0 installed internal error no file name for libasound2 [23:04] yes [23:05] but why i do that, if i put right command will do it! [23:05] holy fack, whats the nickserv kill ghost syntax? [23:05] haha [23:05] <_r00t_> foolove, cat logfile | grep string1 | grep string2 | | grep string3 LOL ¬¬¬!!!!!! [23:05] just need the right command to format md0 (raid) to ext4 [23:05] Hello. After a sensors-detect scan I was prompted to ype 'service module-init-tools start' But I get this error (I think) message: http://pastebin.com/txmunmUA What's wrong? [23:05] Guest56066: did you try and install flash before? [23:06] <_r00t_> Ntemis, your raid device should be just /dev/md0 [23:06] exit() [23:06] ActionParsnip: hmm but I can do that without using the mouse? [23:06] it is [23:06] now i nned to format it [23:06] but 11.10 dont let me [23:06] ActionParsnip: I tried to install the flash plugin in the software center for firefox, but then i realized i wanted to use chromium instead. I uninstalled it through the software center before installing this one though? [23:06] Ubuntu [23:06] i had not this problems on 10.04 [23:06] <_r00t_> Ntemis, so what's the problemo ? mkfs.ntfs /dev/md0 or something ... are you partitioning it ? [23:06] ZeitFight: for example. ps -ef | pastebinit wil make a URL you can then give peaople, othe link will be a pastebin if the output of the ps command [23:07] no formatting it to ext4 [23:07] Guest56066: can you give a pastebin of: uname -a; cat /etc/lsb-release; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark' [23:07] someone think they could assist me in getting this done? http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/784138-howto-boot-existing-ubuntu-partition-using-virtualbox-inside-windows/ [23:07] glitchd: I'd ask in #vbox [23:07] ActionParsnip: Alright now I follow. Thanks :) [23:08] When I try to use totem to play youtube videos, I get an error message "Gstreamer encountered a general supporting library error." I have never been able to use this feature, so I don't suspect a recent update as the cause. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this? [23:08] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/paWf87Dz [23:08] i'm using ubuntu server 8.04 on a virtualbox: is there a way to change the resolution? [23:08] ya i just googled the answer thanks root [23:09] brightspark: do you have all of gstreamer-plugins-foo where foo is good, bad and ugly installed? [23:10] Guest56066: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-downloader:i386 adobe-flashplugin:i386 adobe-flash-properties-gtk:i386; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo apt-get iclean; sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin === haji is now known as magg [23:10] dasy2k1: I do, as well as some other similar-sounding ones (-base, -bad-multiverse) [23:10] ActionParsnip: Jesus do you know this off memory or experience? [23:11] Guest56066: long experience of the OS dude [23:12] I would have added a sudo apt-get update before all of them too [23:12] ActionParsnip: It seems to have found some stuff lying around from my previous install etc, i'm going to let it run and I'll brb. Thanks for all the help [23:12] dasy2k1: All of these show up as gstreamer0.10-plugins-foo; there are none without the number (I presume a version number) available to download. [23:13] <_r00t_> #!ciao [23:14] ActionParsnip, i am asking in that room also atm [23:14] brightspark: yeh, thats just the version numbers, in previous versions there were metapackages without the version number that just installed the one with the relevant version number, seems that has been done away with in 11.1 [23:14] *11.10 [23:15] ActionParsnip: I hate to be picky but I was running a distribution before this for about a week ... and it had a 64bit version of flash with a 32 bit wrapper or something. The performance was about 2-3x the current. DO you have any idea what that might be? [23:15] dasy2k1: The update found nothing new. Also this is a 10.10 install, not an 11.10 one. [23:15] * dasy2k1 shrugs [23:16] Guest56066: yeah the 64bit flash is now officially released and stable so is in the repos [23:17] ActionParsnip: I don't think it was the 64bit verison, I think it was a 32bit version with a wrapper of some kind? [23:17] Guest56066: it used to be that 64bit users used the wrapper or could manually install [23:17] When I run in terminal, I see a bunch of output about unhandled XML, and some more detail on the gstreamer error. [23:17] Guest56066: 32bit has had flash support for ages, the 64bit was always a testing thing but worked well imho [23:18] brightspark: If you pastebin that hopefully somone will be able to make head or tail of it [23:20] hows UDS ? [23:20] does 'dig' command tool have a channel [23:21] fission6: http://www.manpagez.com/man/1/dig/ may help, what's up? [23:21] fission6, i don't think so, try asking in ##linux [23:22] your question regarding dig that is, not weather dig has a channel [23:22] dasy2k1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/728652/ [23:23] ActionParsnip: I'll have to look around. Though this works it is exactly the same performance I had on Linux mint -- less than 15fps on a 360 video. When I used the 32bit version with the wrapper I got full speed up to 720p [23:23] i want to find authority nameserver for a site but dont get any ActionParsnip [23:24] Anyone know how to install ksymoops? I'm on 10.04 [23:24] upgrate [23:24] apt-cache search ksymoops returns null [23:24] hey [23:24] brighspark: i think it has somthing to do with ffmpeg, I will have to leave it to the experts on that. [23:24] so i made my own ppa, and now want to test out the packages i built [23:24] https://launchpad.net/~zgenjix/+archive/libbitcoin [23:25] W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/zgenjix/libbitcoin/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found [23:25] W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/zgenjix/libbitcoin/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found [23:25] any ideas why it isn't working?

[23:25] Guest56066: you can always grab the 64bit .so file and put it in /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins and it will work [23:25] added the 2 lines to /etc/apt/sources.list [23:26] dasy2k1: thanks for your time [23:26] i dont get any authoratative service for digging any site [23:26] np brightspark [23:27] fission6: Thats a name service problem on your side, not a "dig" problem.

[23:43] /home/my/Scaricati/buduscript_3477_2808.tar.gz [23:44] Ah: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/i386/ksymoops/2.4.11-1ubuntu1 "Status:deleted" [23:44] salut tt l'monde [23:44] So someone arbitrarily decided to delete this?? What is going on [23:44] is there a binary package for gcc-3.x.x? [23:45] for lucid [23:46] would I be better off finding and installing an older version of ubuntu? [23:46] JViz: yes [23:46] HulkHogan: yes to using an older version of ubuntu? [23:46] JViz: yes [23:47] lol [23:47] HulkHogan: any idea on how old of a version i'd be looking for? [23:47] JViz: =) well whats the prob exactly? [23:48] i need gcc 3 for using bitbake [23:48] When I try to use totem to play youtube videos, I get an error message "Gstreamer encountered a general supporting library error." I have never been able to use this feature, so I don't suspect a recent update as the cause. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this? [23:49] it's one of the requirements, apparently it doesn't work with gcc 4.x [23:49] JViz: u can use apt pinning to grab older packages [23:49] HulkHogan: i'm going to go read about apt pinning now [23:50] anybody know where i can configure default smb login details for nautilus? [23:50] JViz: but not sure if that will break ur current OS requirements, since gcc4 comes default [23:50] Evening - anyone around? [23:51] HulkHogan: if it completely replaces GCC 4, i'm sure it would break my OS [23:51] preferably, i'd like to have them installed side by side, with gcc 4 as the default [23:51] ubuntu 11.10 comes with backports enabled by default, should I disable it? [23:51] JViz: apt-pinning downgrades it [23:51] ack [23:51] I was hoping to flag the existence of a bug I've filed - which has been caused by a showstopping couple of changes.. [23:52] how do i choose my screensaver in the new ubuntu? [23:52] JViz: you can build it from source if you are ambitious [23:52] my firefox window has these orange move/resize circles around it [23:52] how do I remove them ? [23:52] splnet: i tried that, apparently you can't compile gcc3 with gcc4 under normal circumstances [23:53] because I don't know if this may break my system or not [23:53] splnet: apparently gcc4 code requirements are more strict than previous versions [23:54] JViz: right maybe build a tree on an older system and copy it over? [23:55] gcc3 tree [23:55] does anyone know how to remove these giant orange resize circles ? [23:57] hmmmm [23:57] splnet: i want to make this easier for other people, maybe i should look into making bitbake work with gcc4? [23:57] so, anyone knows if I should disable backports (wich come enabled by default) or not? [23:58] which* [23:59] does anyone else know how to disable the resize circles ? [23:59] help save a file i want to print as a pdf ?
