[00:02] gravytrane, Just some background info, Ubuntu uses plymouth for those bootlogo's [00:03] gravytrane, So if you ever have that issue again, try searching "change plymouth themes" [00:03] bekks: thanks, do you know how to set MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME then? [00:03] my laptop is a dual boot Toshiba L655, and in W7 I do have abattery indicator [00:04] gauda: Nope, havent compiled firefox on my own for ages now.

[00:10] dluzius, type gnome-power-statistics into terminal and press enter [00:10] j3NNy1, I can't give you books, but the ubuntu command line is known as "Bash", and I can give you plenty of Website, but a better place to ask would be the #bash channel [00:11] !bash | j3NNy1 [00:11] j3NNy1: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[00:14] I alwayes get aticonfig: command not found and monitor is unknown. [00:14] Nightwalkerkg1, Okay, first things first, run "lspci | grep -i ati" so I can know exactly what card you have. [00:14] I have Diamond ATI Radeon 9550 AGP 128mb [00:14] in ubuntu 11.04 & unity... how can I add/remove indicators? I can't right click the menu bar anymore [00:14] I know it's old.

[00:15] Oh,sorry [00:16] Hi, does LightDM use the xsessions hierarchy? [00:16] how do I get around this [00:16] Nightwalkerkg1, Okay, Well, I want you to put all that on the forums with a description of the problem, an any other information you can provide. Because honestly, I don't have a clue. [00:17] Oh,well. :( [00:17] Unless anybody else has an idea for the problem ... ? [00:17] Tnx for the try and sorry for the time. [00:17] in unity, how can i get the sound indicator back if it is missing? [00:17] dlbike76, to my knowledge it does. But I am not well versed in lightDM [00:18] Oh,JosephH one more thing.I am from Serbia so do i post this problem on Serbian Ubuntu forum or on Ubuntu forum? [00:18] Nightwalkerkg1, I would just put it on the general one, you'll get more people. I belive the localized forms are for those who don't speak english well, which it is apparent that you do :) [00:19] Nightwalkerkg1, Do speak it well* [00:19] Ok,thanks for your time. [00:19] English? [00:19] JosephH: Ok thanks for your time. [00:19] dlbike76, No proble [00:19] Nightwalkerkg1, Yes :) [00:19] Sure,i can understand,speak,write and read very well. [00:20] Nightwalkerkg1, So use the general forums :P [00:20] :D [00:20] hi guys. I need to get myself a live USB really quickly, but my problem is that the only computer that's currently avaliable runs windows. so I googled some strange GUI thing called LiLi which after the installation of Ubuntu 11 does something wrong with bootloader and I have no idea how to install it manually on the needed partition having only USB stick on 2GB and windows box [00:21] Ok,buy i am going to bed.I am going to ask for help tomorow on the forum.Thanks one more time. [00:21] * JosephH feels awesome for helping so many people [00:21] MagBo use LiLi,it hase it's own bootloader [00:21] MagBo, I have a program that will solve this, www.pendrivelinux.com :) [00:21] during the boot it writes "GRUB" and doesn't respond to the key presses ) [00:21] MagBo, the ubuntu website has instructions on how to create a usb in windows [00:21] hey guys - would anyone mind answering 6 very short questions for a research project I'm doing? I promise it's VERY quick [00:21] I have used it. [00:21] MagBo, Its the offical supported usb creator for windows. [00:21] gotz7, Sure, but DM me so that we don't kill the chan. [00:22] yerp! [00:22] hello ubuntu gks [00:22] is there anybody here with a macbook pro? [00:22] lexflex, Me :P I'm not on it now, But I have one. [00:22] OK, I made small progress about my scim problem. Now I am able to see an icon that should allow me to switch inputs. It seems to be "stuck" on Input Method Off. [00:23] Do you have ubuntu installed on it? [00:23] I used the ibus-daemon -dr command to get this far. [00:23] lexflex, Yup. [00:24] lexflex, I have Linux on everything lmao!. I got a debian bassed distro on my wii XD. [00:24] brb [00:24] JosephH: and did you replace os x? or do you have dual boot or something? [00:24] JosephH: btw, will 2GB be nuff to get Gnome3+PGP+Tor Browser Bundle using ubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386 image? [00:24] CrOnOs2000: nothing wrong with my ram. memtest passed with no errors. any other suggestions? [00:24] Whats the best permission setting for PHP for Public Access and Internal/Private Access files [00:24] lexflex, uh... whats above quad... cinq? anyway, 5 OS's booting Lmao. [00:25] MagBo, More then enough I think. [00:25] JospehH: which ones? how did you do this? [00:25] W哦我! [00:25] JosephH: or better: what boot manager handls all this? [00:26] lexflex, Grub 2 [00:26] yeah, Grub 2 is uber cool [00:26] lexflex, I have ArchLinux, OSX, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Ubuntu 11.10 on it now. [00:26] haha, Archlinux <3 [00:26] I love Arch :) [00:26] JosephH: wait.. windows 8? [00:27] JosephH: wait a second, I was wondering where do I know you from [00:27] lexflex, The Developer Preview. Its only meant for testing code. [00:27] JosephH: could it be that you used to answer some questions at #archlinux ? [00:27] Hello everyone, i have a problem with my Sony VAIO VPCEH running Ubuntu 11.04 ... the touchpad scrolling doesn't work... i would really apreciate if you'd be so kind to help me [00:27] JosephH: can i get that, too? [00:27] MagBo, I normally go by the name NictraSavios :) [00:28] lexflex: yes [00:28] lexflex, Sure, Its free. Google it. [00:28] JosephH: awesome, didnt know [00:28] JosephH: and os x lion also? or is it still snow leopard? [00:29] Ok, I am nearly 100% there!I just have to figure out which keystokes are controlling things now! [00:29] MagBo, Lion. I got the MBP only recently. [00:29] JoshephH: Are there FLOSS drivers for the MacPro, or do you have to use proprietary ones? [00:29] So, I guess that running ibus-daemon -dr did the trick to get scim to work。 [00:30] is there any tutorial on how to achieve this? i was trying all sunday on getting a triple boot (lion, win7 and ubuntu 11.10) but i resigned after 3 failed trys [00:30] dlbike76, For ubuntu, I didnnt have any issues. I has more driver issues with windows than Ubuntu. But for arch, I just followed their wiki. [00:30] dlbike76, So, I believe I'm using open source ones. But honestly, I don't care if I'm not haha. They seem to work perfecty. [00:30] perfectly* [00:31] JosephH: i was trying with rEFIt 0.14 though, not grub [00:32] lexflex: refit isn't needed anymore afaik [00:32] lexflex, Well, what I did was I installed Windows 7, then windows 8, then ArchLinux, then Ubuntu. Because I wanted ubuntu to take care of my grub 2. [00:32] JosephH: and os x lion was there already? [00:32] lexflex, Remember the old rule, Go from the least flexible to the most flexible operating systems. [00:33] lexflex, Yup. OEM straight from apple. [00:33] JosephH: Sounds cool. I may have to check out a Macbook as my next laptop. [00:33] JosephH: Arch is more flexible than ubuntu by the means of what you can do. Ubuntu is more flexible in the means of where you can do it. [00:33] dlbike76, I actually still prefer to use my old gateway.... [00:34] JosephH: and how did you partition? in os x? [00:34] MagBo, I use Ubuntu as the bootloaders OS because Arch has issues with other operating systems [00:34] JosephH: how do you share the files? I mean, HFS+ is pain in the arse :( [00:34] Partitioning you say [00:34] * JosephH smiles big [00:34] JosephH: yes yes, partition… no? [00:34] Thats my favorite feild hehe :P [00:34] http://pastebin.com/vUh4PjBn how do i fix this error? this is what dmesg gives me when i plug in my sd card [00:35] JosephH: well, I see. the thing is that you can make the same installation of grub2 under arch. not as automatically though :) [00:35] JosephH: is there any guide for this? [00:35] hi, i have a PPA i loved to use back in Lucid, but it's not packaged for Oneric yet. Can I force-add this PPA to Oneric from bash somehow? [00:36] tem alguem ai que fala Portugues [00:36] JosephH: this whole partitioning and booting really kicked my ass today. i couldnt get it to work [00:36] Okay, Well I have it so that OSX takes up 200GB, Then I have a 15GB FAT32 encrypted with truecrypt, a 150GB ntfs with my personal data and the rest is in an extended. I have , in the extended 80GB for win8 and the rest divided equally between Arch and Ubuntu [00:36] I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For. U2 are plaing in may nevron helmet. Fan control, pwm-capable sensor missing and libsensors exist on in tutorials =) [00:36] All my personall files are kept in one partition, the others are ONLY for os files. ALL of my desktop folders are symlinks to a "Desktop" folder in this partition. [00:37] JosephH: so the sared partition is the truecrypt one, right? [00:37] and that NTFS [00:37] MagBo, Nope, its the 150GB ntfs , the 15GB fat32 is for things I wanna hide and can be used by all 3 via truecrypt [00:38] Yeah-yeah, perfectly aware of truecrypt. so Mac OS x _does_ have an adequate ntfs-3g analogue by now? [00:38] Oh, forgot, 100GB for Win7 inside the extended aswell haha [00:38] MagBo, Yup. Works good enough for me. [00:38] cause see, HFS+ used to make the linux kernel panic :) [00:38] nice [00:39] MagBo, Oh, and make sure to install the hfs progs :P [00:39] * MagBo brb - boot to ubuntu >.< [00:39] JosephH: how do i prevent the systems to fuck up each other? i had this problem today. installed ubuntu. worked. then tried to install win 7 and suddenly neither ubuntu nor windows works [00:39] JosephH: not that I'm gonna use Apple any time soon [00:39] lexflex: what do you mean by "works"? [00:40] i couldnt boot anymore [00:40] lexflex: Please keep the language clean in here [00:40] sorry [00:40] Haha, thats because You have to install windows 7 using the bootcamp thing, and then ubuntu, so that grub2 will overwrite bootcamp. OSX will complain, Windows will complain, google and you can fix it. [00:40] and have you read what JosephH wrote close enough? If you aren't ready to mess with boot loaders go from Windows to Linuxes, not vice-versa [00:40] JosephH: thats what i did after resigning! :) [00:41] JosephH: now its actually lion + win 7 with bootcamp [00:42] Honestly, lexflex Then stick ubuntu in there. Use bootcamp to make a fat32 partition, and do the whole thing up untill where you install windows, then reboot and install ubuntu. [00:42] i have a bit of a problem [00:43] the US International with AltGR deadkeys seems to be broken [00:43] Lexflex Oh, and if that doesn't work for you, try installing the ubuntu bootloader to its root partition instead of /dev/sda [00:43] i cant type quotations anymore [00:43] apostrophe + s looks like ś [00:43] JosephH: i don't get it.. how to use bootcamp to create a partition now? i mean, i already did install win 7 with bootcamp. this is working currently [00:43] this is not the US International keyboard ive come to love [00:44] hi all [00:45] JosephH: did you mean disk utility instead? [00:45] lexflex, Well, what I personally did was use the disk utility to make 3 partitions, Installed windows 7, Rebooted into ubuntu, opened up gparted and finished the layout. And then rebooted into OSX, installed windows 8 into one, then to arch for another, and finally ubuntu. [00:45] lexflex, Yea sorry >.< I'm still getting used to OSX. [00:46] i switched to ALSA instead of Pulse Audio... gstreamer-properties works but Sound Settings doesnt show any audio hardware... [00:46] JosephH: so you actually didnt use boot camp? [00:46] lexflex, I did for windows 7/windows 8. [00:46] lexflex, When I say "installed windows 7" "installed windows 8" that was using bootcamp. [00:47] JosephH: i wouldnt imagine how you do this? bootcamp seems so limited to me. like, one windows and thats it. [00:47] where on earth are the screen saver settings in 11.10 ? [00:48] lexflex, Its not that limited. I followed tutorials so I really don't understand much of it XD. But its out there. Just google around. I'm sorry I can't be of more help but I don't understand OSX or bootcamp myself. [00:48] JosephH: grr, all I get using pendrivelinux installation is the same "GRUB" upon boot [00:48] :( [00:48] * MagBo goes to ubuntu.com to get instructions [00:48] MagBo, D: Try using a Cd then [00:49] JosephH: do you have a link maybe for the tutorials? the thing is, i followed a tutorial myself. i mentioned the result.. [00:49] JosephH: see, I know how to boot from grub's bash [00:49] ok [00:49] <^Mike\b> After I empty my trashcan, the icon doesn't change. How can I get it to detect that it really is empty? [00:49] it seems AltGr for several keys is backwards [00:49] the matter is that it doesn't respond to keypresses [00:49] i have to do AltGr to get ' and " [00:49] that is not how it is supposed to work [00:50] lexflex, There on the OSX safari history but I don't know them off by hand and I can't use my MBP right now. Thats why I'm on my gateway. Its battaries drained and we got heavy winds... I'm not risking a surge haha. I don't care about this laptop, 2 surges and its still fine XD. [00:51] JosephH: ubuntu.com says exact same thing - grab ubuntu 11 iso, fire pendrivelinux [00:51] :(( [00:51] MagBo, Hmm... I would try searching around. Or use the CS. [00:51] CD* [00:51] JosephH: okay no worries. i will figure this out somehow [00:52] JosephH: the setup is - 2GB usb stick and win7 pc [00:52] no cds or anything [00:53] worst thing is that it's 3AM here [00:53] MagBo: what you are trying to accomplish? [00:53] Where do I get hugin panorama help? On loading, I get a big spectrum circle preview. Not the panorama. [00:53] strix_: I need ubuntu live usb with the following stuff: [00:53] OpenPGP, OpenSSH, Tor Browser Bundle, Firefox 7 [00:54] strix_: as I have already told, my setup is Win7 PC and 2GB usb stick [00:54] strix_: what I face is irresponsive "GRUB" line upon boot [00:55] I have upgraded from 10.10 to 11.10 via Update Manager. Is there a way to create a 11.10 boot disc without already having an .iso file? [00:55] strix_: can I try to use wubi to install ubuntu on usb stick? :D [00:55] kendrickLeiter, no. [00:55] Thank you [00:56] MagBo, Yea, insert the usb while booted into windows [00:56] How do I make my external 1-TB HDD ubuntu bootable? [00:56] MagBo: you could use 11.10 on usb stick through pendrivelinux.com installer + 700 Mb or what's left for persistent storage, then boot ubuntu and apt-get the rest [00:57] ksbalaji, Go into bios and set usb harddrives above internal ones. [00:57] no one else is using US International? [00:57] JosephH: thanks for your help [00:57] meoblast001, I use Canadian french >.< [00:57] lexflex, No problem [00:57] JosephH: at least i know now that it is possible. i will keep trying [00:58] strix_: I tried to. but I'm facing irresponsive "GRUB" that's printed on screen w/o any chance to put kernel and initrd lines in [00:58] Shift + ' != ¨ [00:58] lexflex, Try reading the archlinux wiki, that taught me alot. [00:58] JosephH, Thanks. How to load my ext-hdd with boot prog? [00:58] ksbalaji, With grub 2 , you mean? [00:58] JosephH, yes. How?

[01:00] JosephH: strix_: wubi can't detect the usb stick [01:00] * JosephH ><> Fishy .... [01:00] MagBo, Wubi is on the usb stick. [01:00] MagBo, Go to your usb drive while in windows, theres a wubi.exe [01:01] JosephH: and It'l kexec in ubuntu from windows? :D:D:D [01:01] * JosephH MagBo It should install Ubuntu like normal wubi does, the "program in windows" fashion [01:01] MagBo It should install Ubuntu like normal wubi does, the "program in windows" fashion [01:01] oops :P [01:01] MagBo: :( [01:03] LMAO! I typed in /join #fishy for a joke, and the topic of the channel is "Scientists insist on using complex terminology to make it harder for True Christians to refute their claims. Deoxyribonucleic Acid, for example... sounds impressive? But have you seen what happens if you put something in acid? If we had all this acid in our cells, we'd all dissolve! So much for the Theory of Evoluion" [01:03] JosephH: Please help keep this channel ontopic, thanks. [01:03] Sorry >.< [01:03] * MagBo thinks of making his own archlinux fork for live usb with x server and all the needed kernel modules for mainstream video adapters. could be faster than installing ubuntu :D [01:04] I'm distracted easily. Thats why mods tend to get mad at me .... [01:04] Does anyone know of a way to compile a .py file to .exe? [01:04] on linux? [01:04] strigoi66: #python [01:04] MagBo: There is info on the ubuntu wiki about how to create a custom liveCD/USB. [01:05] thank you, sorry bout that [01:06] dlbike76: *okayface*. btw, am I right assuming that once I get ubuntu booted I'll be able to use it with virtually any mainstream video adapters out of the box? [01:06] * JosephH wonders why all these people loggin and log out but never say a word... [01:07] Hi, I installed ushare from the software center, and it gets started with an /etc/init.d/ushare start -- how do i make it so it starts when i log in? [01:07] JosephH: some people have their clients set to auto join [01:07] anyone know how to get a sound mixer back in unity? i am using ALSA and not Pulse Audio [01:07] I cant manage psd files inside gimp. Is the only way portable CS inside wine, or VirtualBox? [01:07] Gentoo64, Lot more then "some" lmao. [01:07] asdf-, command: alsamixer ? [01:08] tolmun, CS5.5 is not working under wine as of now. [01:08] JosephH, thanks... was hoping for a GUI... gstreamer-properties detects the sound card and plays a test sound but i cant get sound to work anywhere else === pyro__ is now known as Guest81313 [01:09] JosephH, thanks... was hoping for a GUI... gstreamer-properties detects the sound card and plays a test sound but i cant get sound to work anywhere else [01:09] asdf-, Sadly I don't know much about GUI utilies. I'm too used to the command line. [01:10] thanks [01:10] i appreciate it though [01:10] asdf-: ncurses are gui [01:10] :D [01:10] MagBo: I've had good luck with previous Ubuntu LiveCD's with various video adapters, but YMMV. [01:10] MagBo: its not :) [01:11] Gentoo64: o_0 y gentoo on ubuntu chan [01:11] Nah, there a serial terminal interface :D [01:11] ncurses is wonderful [01:11] It's basically gui but works through ssh [01:11] I'm an Archuser on a ubuntu chan. Ubuntu has the best irc for helping people. [01:11] Yeah NetBSD user here [01:11] * MagBo is afk for reboot full of hope [01:11] archlinux here either [01:12] * JosephH 's last message was sarcasm .... [01:12] oops second last, now thrid. [01:12] third* [01:12] The thing about it being a STI. [01:12] * JosephH hides. [01:14] hey guys [01:14] anyone there? [01:14] hi [01:14] Yes :P [01:14] !ask | polishdude20 [01:14] polishdude20: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [01:14] i was wondering if I could get some insight into ubuntu? [01:14] polishdude20, Sure :D [01:15] k, well what is your personal opinion about the advantages of ubuntu over another OS? Basiaclly can you try and "sell" it to me? [01:15] polishdude20, Compared to what? Windows? OSX? Another Linux? [01:15] polishdude20: try it and see if you like it === mathi_ is now known as mathi [01:15] compared to other linux OS's and windows? [01:16] the sales pitch is on ubuntu.com [01:16] polishdude20: you can use it in a livecd without installing it. very slow compared to how it is really like though [01:16] I tried it but it felt bare to me [01:16] polishdude20: "bare"? [01:16] polishdude20, Windows is windows, nuff said. Ubuntu beats it by being bassed on a *nix platform. [01:16] polishdude20: well what do you want to use your comp for? [01:16] polishdude20: What difference are you looking for between Ubuntu and other Linuxs? [01:16] It's the easiest to set up to a point where it is usable practically out of the box [01:17] well I guess right now windows is fine for me, im running xp cause i can't stand the shit I get from 7 and vista [01:17] JosephH: no luck again. look what I have though: http://nn.lv/6hax [01:17] polishdude20, Compared to other linux, simple, were the one thats going to market. Were the most popular, we got the cash and support behind us. Were taking it to the top :) We offer unrivale user-friendly-ness and ease of package management [01:17] well ive heard the other linuxes are a lot of coding based [01:17] Reikoku: easiest? [01:17] Reikoku: well, I hoped so as well [01:17] MagBo: Takes the least effort/knowledge to install and operate [01:17] polishdude20, None are code bassed really. Bash Is the only language you should know, but its used as much on ubuntu as it is on OSX. [01:17] that's true === canis is now known as Guest401 [01:17] gstreamer-properties recognizes my sound card and i can hear a test sound but Unity's Sound Settings shows no hardware... anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? [01:18] polishdude20: do you play games on xp? [01:18] hello there, I'm trying to find a way to show some progress when copying files in ubuntu via terminal. I've gone through all the "cp" command options and can't find anything. Is there any command to do so? [01:18] zromayn: cp -v [01:18] ye i play games on xp [01:18] zromayn: try watch [01:18] Reikoku: though while it takes me ten minutes to make a live usb of archlinux under linux it took me about an hour (and counting) to make an ubuntu usb [01:19] polishdude20: well you might need to dual boot for games. wine isnt that great [01:19] okay guys, what I've done is I made a tiny slax usb stick that boots [01:19] MagBo: To be expected, Arch is a far simpler and smaller barebones setup [01:19] I'm burning an iso. I copied it from a cd. Brasero makes two files. One it calls brasero. The other is called brasero.toc. Are both necessary to burn the iso? If I select the brasero file only, will it burn the iso correctly? [01:19] i wouldnt rely on it anyway [01:19] Gentoo64: That one doesn't show progress in file size. That's what I'm looking for. My bad for not being more specific. [01:19] MagBo: Takes me less than 10 for my NetBSD USB stick [01:19] polishdude20: i use win xp as a virtual machine [01:19] I g2g, C-yahs :P [01:19] MonkeyDust: let me try that one. [01:19] I can load the system to RAM then unmount usb stick [01:20] hi, is anyone in here subscribed to ubuntuforums.org ? [01:20] so I virtually have a linux tty and 2GB usb stick [01:20] dardevelin: is that the normal forum page?

[01:21] dardevelin: so register for the forums [01:21] MagBo: Why use dd? Just boot from Ubuntu CD and install to USB device [01:21] I don't recommend it at all, the amount of io on an Ubuntu base install will kill your flash drive in weeks [01:22] jrib, i don't like to multi spread my data when not Huber necessary ... [01:22] dardevelin: huh? [01:22] Reikoku: I have Ubuntu 5.10 Live CD only :3 [01:22] dardevelin: dont be so paranoid :) [01:22] dardevelin: make a junk gmail account or somehting [01:22] dardevelin: its uber and ubuntuforums.org doesn't spam or sell your info. [01:22] MagBo: why not download the latest version? [01:22] MagBo: Download ISO for latest live CD, mount under VirtualBox, install to USB stick [01:23] xubuntu or ubuntu??? which is beter? [01:23] better* [01:23] KillaByte: xubuntu is lighter.. thats all [01:23] Gentoo64, it's not about being paranoid, i don't like forums i hate them, and i run them almost always i can...

[01:23] oh guys, know what - I'll just wget archlinux and install it to live usb and then will do the modprobe mess with respect to the hardware I use [01:24] so this was an attempt to get a shortcut [01:24] MagBo: What are you planning to use the USB for? [01:24] dardevelin: if its personal info, do what i do and make a gmail account or something that you only use for "mess" [01:24] I just cam in here to say that ubuntu 11.10 is the worst os i have ever seen...... 11.4 was rough but at least it was workable [01:24] You realise persistance on USB is likely to kill the low grade flash memory very very quickly? [01:24] MagBo; if you use the Ubuntu start up disk creator to make a bootable usb, then you can use dd to create another usb. That may be a workaround that won't help you, but it is one way you can do it [01:24] !ot | yman [01:24] yman: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[01:30] yman, most of the older ones are no longer supported [01:30] yman: older version are no longer supported, it's called EOL, end of life [01:30] Is anyone able to advise on a package manager error with wireless drivers?

[01:32] ok === Pilif12p is now known as Pilif|stufy [01:32] Cheap_Scotsman, well.. the third party issue is one that is easily solved,,, well it was with synaptic package manager and unticking the third party repositories === Pilif|stufy is now known as Pilif|study [01:32] yman you don't have an old cd with an old version? you can install if you have an old cd [01:33] that is what i used [01:33] Cheap_Scotsman, in terminal try sudo apt-get install dkms [01:33] the cd [01:33] It didn't work? [01:33] no just gave me errors and took over 30 min to tell me that [01:33] i also tried it twice [01:33] coz_, "The package system is broken Check if you are using third-party repositories.

[01:37] i did that once and it told me it was not compatible [01:37] hi guys, do you know any file transfer tools which transfer files between pcs in a local area network? [01:37] when i tried to install it [01:37] Cheap_Scotsman, ok no problem [01:37] MagBo, if you accept a grub update in wubi it will overwrite your mbr, you can reload the mbr with the windows bootloader with a windows recovery or install disc. [01:37] MagBo: How did you make the USB stick? What happens when you try to boot it? What happens when you try to boot via Wubi? [01:37] yman I've tried it before and the standard 32 bit version didn't work on amd64, so I got the amd version and it worked [01:37] Cheap_Scotsman, just copy and paste this command in the terminal gksudo /etc/apt/sources.list [01:37] ouyes: ssh or dropbox [01:38] coz_: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [01:38] the 32 does work but now that i have installed the 11.10 it will not [01:38] Jordan_U, absolutely right thanks :) [01:38] coz_: You're welcome.

[01:40] ouyes: ssh is one way but drob ox is [01:40] i ran the 32 on here and i am trying to reinstall it with the same disk i used before [01:40] yman I don't think there is 32 bit amd. I think (but I'm not sure) You said you system is amd64? [01:40] but us is not working [01:40] coz_ it opened sources.list which is a text file and next to that is the gedit file which is empty. [01:40] it is [01:40] ouyes: dropbox deb is on website [01:40] tolmun, what is drob ox?

I fired that pendrivelinux thing and wrote ubuntu distro on the flash drive. what I got is irresponsive "GRUB" line printed on the screen with the only option to reboot the machine (as there wasn't a way to manually boot the thing from grub - no reaction to key presses) [01:41] i dont have the error message as it was during the boot [01:42] ok well ty for your time [01:42] coz_ done [01:42] Cheap_Scotsman, when that opens,, click on the file "sources.list" and i should prompt you for your password and than open the guui === Pilif|study is now known as Pilif12p [01:42] yman good luck [01:42] gui [01:42] coz_ it's open, all text [01:42] ??

Are you sure that you're booting from the USB drive? [01:43] coz, and a terminal [01:44] Jordan_U: yes, I am sure [01:44] Cheap_Scotsman, ok close everything excpet the irc client you are using for here [01:44] In case anyone asks about input methods again, I write this: [01:44] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11432850#post11432850 [01:44] Jordan_U: oh [01:44] now I see it! [01:44] Cheap_Scotsman, then reopen a terminal sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [01:44] GRUB is left in MBR from previous archlinux installation on the stick [01:44] Jordan_U: could it be that? [01:45] I mean, it sounds pretty impossible [01:45] but all that windows software can be that buggy :D [01:45] MagBo: I would be very surpriesed if Universal USB installer didn't overwrite the MBR of the USB drive it installed to. [01:45] ouyes: you welcome [01:45] Hey guys, I'm running Xubuntu.. what I'm trying to do is install Google Chrome with GDebi but it keep telling me that the package is damaged or that I don't have the authorization to open it [01:45] Jordan_U: any ideas then? ) [01:46] coz_ upgrade seemingly worked, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade resulted in the error "unmet dependencies" with the problem being the bcmwl-kernel-source wireless package I tried to download manually from the install CD [01:46] MagBo: Can you plug the USB into another machine running some form of GNU/Linux, run boot info script, and pastebin the RESULTS.txt it creates? [01:46] !bootinfo | MagBo [01:46] MagBo: Boot info script is a usefull script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). [01:46] Cheap_Scotsman, ok now try sudo apt-get install dkms [01:46] Jordan_U: haha, I'd be sooo happy if I could :D [01:47] coz_, Unmet dependencies again, suggests apt-get f install [01:47] Jordan_U: the problem is that I really desparately need a linux in the place I currently am :D [01:47] Cheap_Scotsman, ok sudo apt-get -f install [01:47] MagBo: Can't boot from CD? [01:48] coz_, seemingly worked, it's unpacking the dkms [01:48] Jordan_U: oh yeah! you're right, I have that ubuntu 5.10 live cd [01:48] Cheap_Scotsman, ok , when that is done retry installing the package you tried before with the dkms error [01:48] Jordan_U: (from hours ago): thanks, I didn't realize sh called dash, not bash. [01:48] though atm I'm making archlinux live usb already :D [01:48] when adobe will make cs for us =) [01:49] coz_, the package manager error just disappeared and the DKMS install competed (yay) [01:49] MagBo: You can't run to the store and buy a blank CD to burn a supported version of Ubuntu to? [01:49] Jordan_U: 4AM here man :D [01:49] Cheap_Scotsman, there you go :) [01:49] Thelmaria: You're welcome. [01:49] coz_ can I try by just double clicking the install pack I saved to my home file, or should I try to do something via the software centre? [01:49] MagBo: Tomorrow then :) [01:49] Cheap_Scotsman, either way.. [01:49] MagBo: Or, later this morning :) [01:49] coz_, it's a b-43 wireless driver/firmware/something to make my wireless card work. K I'll try double click [01:50] Why is Ubuntu 10.04 still have Firefox 3.6...Other distros are using Firefox 7.0 ??? [01:50] Jordan_U: what I did is that I've loaded linux in RAM on the machine and wiped the flashdrive, wgot the archlinux iso and dding it to the stick [01:50] Cheap_Scotsman, I am assuming that a restart of the system is going to be required since it is firmware [01:50] MagBo: You could do the same with an Ubuntu 11.10 iso. [01:50] moes: oh noes, apt-get install firefox will update it :D [01:50] coz_, in the software centre it says the broadcom 802.11 linux STA wireless driver source is installed, yet in my wireless tab it shows that device as having missing firmware, restart then? [01:51] Cheap_Scotsman, yes that would or should take care of the missing error [01:51] Jordan_U: okay, other ppl didn't mentioned that, thanks [01:51] Cheap_Scotsman, I probably wont be here when you return but good luck on this :) [01:51] coz_, I'll try that. I'll log back on in a minute but thank you very much if you leave by then [01:51] MagBo: You're welcome. [01:51] Cheap_Scotsman, no problem [01:51] coz_, alright, thank you! [01:51] Jordan_U: from your experience - will ubuntu liveusb run virtually on any vgas? [01:52] MagBo: Virtually any, yes. I can't guarantee that you will have no problem with your graphics card. [01:53] Jordan_U: okay [01:53] MagBo: so you have Ubuntu usb flash drive, you just can't boot from it? [01:54] banshee :s y u no work [01:54] strix_: yes. :( [01:54] Does your BIOS have the option to boot from USB in the first place? [01:54] strix_: anyway, atm I already have archlinux usb flash drive that's bootable :D [01:55] Is arch going to be your first distro? [01:56] MagBo: in that case, did you properly setup BIOS to boot from usb? [01:57] reokie: grep the log (to be short). no, it wasn't, my first linux distro was mandrake or mandriva (whatever was earlier) but after a couple of years I started using archlinux (more prolonged answer) [01:57] strix_: yes I have. see, I have already booted from archlinux :D [01:58] MagBo: ah, ok [01:58] when trying to install php5 package with apt-get I am getting this error: http://pastebin.com/dbH1iZN4 [01:58] Ah, nice, I asked because I have alot of first time linux users wanting to start with Arch for some reason lol [01:58] it tells me the package is already the newest version, but it is not installed. [01:58] but tried to install anyways and fails. [01:59] reokie: I totally understand them. It's simple in its very own arch way :) [01:59] reokie: my ex-gf's first linux was arch too :P anyway, that's off the topic here I believe [02:01] how do I download 11.10 [02:01] JewKiller: your nick is offending personally me [02:01] so it seems I am unable to install any of these packages. and I can't figure out why. [02:01] JewKiller: Change your nick to something non-offensive. Now. [02:01] JewKiller: nonetheless, man wget [02:02] MagBo: QQ more [02:02] LuckySMack: apt-get install --reinstall package? [02:03] lunitik, still fails with this result: http://pastebin.com/yxt0wVVD [02:04] Jordan_U: don't tell me he wasn't using public proxy/Tor :D [02:04] it's expecting that file to be there for some reason, but it's not because the packages are not installed on my system. [02:06] LuckySMack: I don't think we should correct the package via this channel, you should prolly file a bug report on the packages it lists (php5-cli and libapache2-mod-php5) and wait for them to be fixed [02:06] LuckySMack: you can touch the files to try your theory, but it looks to me like they just aren't in the package to start [02:07] ok thats fine, but im currently needing the packages so need to find some workaround [02:07] ill try that [02:08] LuckySMack: you can go to #ubuntu-devel and ask how to repackage it yourself... it should be a simple edit of the postinst script [02:08] lunitik: #ubuntu-devel is not for user support. [02:08] Jordan_U: Is this channel for creating packages? [02:09] or rather, for packaging help... [02:09] lunitik: No. It's for Ubuntu Developers to discuss the development of Ubuntu. [02:10] Jordan_U: No, I mean this channel, is it appropriate here to assist a user in unpacking, editing and repacking a .deb? It seems out of the scope to me [02:10] lunitik: It's always best to read the topic of a channel before recommending it to someone else. [02:10] I guess #ubuntu-motu would be a good palce [02:10] place* [02:10] lunitik: As part of user support, which this is, yes. Though it's probably easier to just edit the postinst script without recreating the package. [02:11] ok creating that file makes it not give that error anymore, but it still doesnt completely install: http://pastebin.com/h3wWwpRc [02:11] Hey [02:12] LuckySMack: you tried reinstalling the sub-packages first? php5-cgi...etc... [02:12] LuckySMack: that is the same paste [02:12] i just installed sudo, added myself to the sudoers file but i get three 'try again's when i try sudoing anything (before even a passwork prompt) [02:12] daweefolk: Why did you need to install sudo? It's installed by default in Ubuntu. [02:13] Jordan_U: The way I read the topic of #ubuntu-devel it seems it is for packaging assistance... since all Ubuntu devs really do is manage packages. [02:13] Jordan: I have a different distro, i just find ubuntu support has been best for me :) [02:13] daweefolk: did you logout and logback in after adding yourself [02:13] daweefolk: what distro? [02:13] *facepalm* [02:14] pclinuxos [02:14] daweefolk: This channel only supports Ubuntu. Please don't ask for support for other distributions here. [02:14] sorry === PcJamesy is now known as ipcjamesy4 === ipcjamesy4 is now known as PcJamesy [02:17] somsip, yes it complains about php5-cgi/php5-fpm but I don't want to install those because im using the mod-php5 apache module. so i don't know why it's trying to install those deps. It can't seem to install the apache module either. I get similar errors [02:18] does anyone know if ubuntu minimal/installer (the curses based, tiny one) includes memtest? [02:18] lunitik, that was a new paste. but the error was probably the same. [02:19] LuckySMack: ISTM that if you want to install a package, you allow the package manager to ddecide what deps it needs. I have php5-cgi and the apache2 module installed, but never use the cgi module. no biggie [02:19] just so you guys know ubuntu rocks [02:20] seriously [02:20] somsip, yea but thats the problem, it can't seem to even install any of the dependencies. [02:20] * Dungeon admires the channel size which increases the active support here..... i do enjoy that [02:20] LuckySMack: then you will have to edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/thenameofthefiles.postinst and add 'touch thenameofthefile' early on in the script... then you can try installing again probably [02:21] does anyone in here know anything about fedora? [02:21] corey__: the guys in #fedora might [02:21] LuckySMack: so if you apt-get install --reinstall php5-cgi (for example) what do you get? [02:21] #fedora [02:21] ? [02:21] corey__: /j #fedora [02:21] lunitik, ill check that out. [02:21] You could ignore the dependency with Synaptic I know but I think that's not a good practice. [02:21] corey__, i know a bit [02:21] easily with* [02:22] mmm I think i have service ntp on, but the time is still all messed up. Anyone know what to check? [02:22] im downloading a fedora spin version 15 (games) when version 16 comes out on the 8th will the spin be updated on the site so i can download it? [02:22] corey__: Type "/join #fedora" (without the quotes) to join Fedora's support channel. [02:22] Great, just moved my mother-in-law over to Xubuntu 11.10 [02:22] So far so good [02:22] corey__: This is #ubuntu. #ubuntu is for Ubuntu support only. [02:22] i can't for the life of me get ubuntuone to register my lucid lynx 10.04 install as a computer to sync with. Anyone help? [02:22] Mneumonic, congrats [02:23] I will help mazda01 [02:23] lilrubyprog, I've followed every tutorial out there. and it does NOT work [02:23] lilrubyprog, ok, what shall I do? [02:23] Ok, did you try to go to the software center and do it from there? [02:24] no [02:24] lilrubyprog, no [02:24] hi is there any english native speaker a have a question very important! [02:24] lilrubyprog, it's already installed though. [02:24] Ok, go to the dash home and search ubuntu one [02:24] esmirlin: this is the english channel for ubuntu support, yes [02:24] esmirlin, don't ask to ask a question. LOL, just ask it [02:24] esmirlin: Is it an Ubuntu support question? [02:24] how do I remove a package and it's configs, even ones I have edited? or how do I replace my edits with the clean confs? [02:24] esmirlin, ya ask [02:25] CarlFK: apt-get purge {packagename} then resinstall it again [02:25] lilrubyprog, Ubuntu Software Center you're saying, and search for ubuntu one [02:25] it isn't a question about ubuntu but about language, but i don't know where to ask right now :( [02:25] esmirlin: /join #ubuntu-offtopic for non-support related questions. [02:25] CarlFK: apt-get remove --purge or dpkg -P ... you will have to just rm /files/you/edited because there is something which keeps those [02:25] somsip: tried that, /etc/nginx/sites-available/default didn't go away [02:25] oh.. --puirge.. .didn't try that [02:25] No, the dash. If you hold your pointer to the top left just under the bar then you can see the left panel, at the top is the logo click that (dash) [02:26] somsip, having to touch a couple other files and installing php5-cgi may have made it work... checking things out [02:27] lilrubyprog, i'm sorry, i have no idea what you're talking about. i have no left panel. [02:27] is there a way to make all window top panels translucent just as you can make the main ubuntu top panel translucent with unity/compiz manager? [02:28] Nothing like this at the side? http://i.imgur.com/EUgGR.png [02:28] LuckySMack: k - I've had this recently with...something, I forget what. Ended up having to --reinstall a couple and install -f a couple. Got there in the end [02:28] lilrubyprog, i said I am running 10.04, i don't have unity installed. [02:29] Oh I thought you said you had 11.10 I am sorry, ok then go to the top left ->internet-. ubuntu one [02:30] lilrubyprog, have you ever gotten UbuntuOne to work in 10.04? There is NO UbuntuOne choice within Internet inside Applications. [02:30] why is this prompting? sudo apt-get remove --force-yes --purge nginx; "Do you want to continue [Y/n]? " [02:30] Yes I have, then I went to 11.10 [02:31] lilrubyprog, before maverick, you would click on UbuntuOne within System>Preferences and it should trigger a webpage to open which has a button that says "Add this Computer" That is NOT occuring [02:31] !best cd burner [02:31] alazare619: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:31] CarlFK: cause purge is somewhat final, i suppose [02:31] lilrubyprog, well, there is no UbuntuOne within Applications>Internet [02:31] hmm [02:31] since 12.04 will use gnome 3.2, will there still be the same (lack of) settings to make in the system? [02:32] spacebug-: #ubuntu+1 for support and discussion of 12.04. [02:32] Ok, well what about Applications>system [02:32] Jordan_U: ok [02:32] !best | alazare619 [02:32] alazare619: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [02:32] thanks Jordan_U [02:32] alazare619: You're welcome. [02:33] CarlFK: Since that's an inavlid flag for apt-get, the manual says "-y, --yes, --assume-yes" [02:33] mewerner_arand: doh.. thanks. [02:33] Hey, is there anyone here? [02:33] lilrubyprog, only System within Applications is System Tools and there is NO UbuntuOne choice there either. [02:34] looks like best bot is mia [02:34] is anyone on right now that has 10.04 installed and is using UbuntuOne? [02:34] Hmm....did you install it from software center, or terminal? [02:35] Does anyone know anything about Ubuntu Server, that could help me out. I'm having trouble mounting a USB External Harddrive. [02:35] lilrubyprog, it's installed by default. [02:35] fuck you daylight savings time fucking up my sons schedule! [02:35] KoolaidJunkie: Just ask your actual question. [02:35] !language | alazare619 [02:35] alazare619: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [02:35] lilrubyprog, these directions do NOT work [02:35] I didn't know UbuntuOne was install by default on 10.04 [02:36] lilrubyprog, oops, sorry. https://one.ubuntu.com/help/tutorial/install-and-setup-ubuntu-one-8/ === root is now known as Guest37457 [02:36] mazda01, so I am guessing you figured it out? [02:36] hey guys im having problems installing ubuntu on laptop i get a black and white screen when i try to install it any one have an idea on how i can fix it [02:36] @Jordan_U that technically is the actual question. I want to mount a USB External HardDrive so I can share it through Samba. But it won't mount. I've tried everything I know, and it keeps outputting errors [02:37] http://dpaste.de/HdOgh/ now how do I get my config file back? :) [02:37] !nomodeset | juamji86 [02:37] juamji86: 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 [02:37] !details | KoolaidJunkie [02:37] KoolaidJunkie: 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 ..." [02:37] Can someone here help me out with my fstab config? I have an external hard-drive thats showing up twice in my file manager. Once as automounted, and once as not automounted, and i cant figure out why that would happen with my current fstab configuration. The drive in question's options are "noauto,user,exec,rw,async" and i only use it for RSYNC backups. [02:37] lilrubyprog, NO [02:37] lilrubyprog, the link i posted does NOT work [02:38] Really? [02:38] meowsus, if it's an external drive, you shouldn't have it in FSTAB at all. [02:38] lilrubyprog, yes. [02:39] Ok, hold on. [02:39] Here is the Output from the Terminal [02:39] http://pastebin.com/yUQ1cSSN [02:39] So I have 174 updates available in my updater manager for 11.10... Does anyone have advice on any packages that may encourage bugs or privacy issues? [02:39] mazda01, intriguing.... Well, It doesn't move. It's only used for backups and is always plugged in, but I want to make sure it doesn't automount. I want to mount it myself before i pump my rsync stuff into it [02:40] The info on a lot of these updates are quite vague [02:40] Cheap_Scotsman: most updates are for security issues, or bug fixs. [02:40] KoolaidJunkie: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo blkid"? [02:40] lilrubyprog, if you watch this youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Aece9s0lN4 the confirm computer access never pops up === canis is now known as Guest68196 [02:41] ok will do [02:41] dr_Willis: That's what I had assumed but I'm noticing a lot of solotaire games, auto crash reports and so on, which leads me to believe some are less than essential. [02:41] dr_willis, /useful [02:41] http://pastebin.com/jHFs4J4Y === Guest68196 is now known as canis_ [02:42] mazda01, Which browser you using? [02:43] how do u connect to vpn with terminal ? === d is now known as Guest88492 [02:43] KoolaidJunkie: I don't think that /dev/sdb1 has a valid filesystem on it. Why do you think it does? [02:44] I'm not sure if it has a filesystem or not. I bought it, did a format through windows, and have been adding files to it since. [02:44] lilrubyprog, firefox 3.6.23 [02:44] meowsus, so you don't want it automounted? [02:44] Have you tried another browser? [02:44] KoolaidJunkie: What did you format it as in Windows? Can you still access the files on it from Windows? [02:45] lilrubyprog, no, what, would i install google chrome and set that as my default browser in my preferences? [02:45] mazda01, right. It just sits on my desk, plugged in and all, but before I added the line to fstab it would just spin up for no reason on occasion. [02:45] NTFS. and Yes the files are access fine when connected to my Windows 7, Windows XP, and Ubuntu Desktop computers [02:45] meowsus, maybe it's possible to add some udev rule that would not mount that particular device string. [02:45] I just want it to be able to mount it before i run operations on it, then unmount it when i'm done, without haveing to disconnect it and reconnect it, ya dig? [02:45] No, you could try to use another browser to see if you can get the confirmation screen. [02:46] KoolaidJunkie: Can you connect it to your Ubuntu Desktop computer and run "sudo blkid" from there? [02:48] Unfortunately Not tonight I can't. The Ubuntu/WindowsXP Machines are located in the Study, which is current occupied by a sleeping 1yr old nephew. [02:48] meowsus, i dig. never have had to deal with that issue. thinking [02:48] :) [02:48] meowsus, you need to figure out how to get ubuntu to NOT auto mount that external usb drive [02:48] Yeah, i've never really thought about it too much either, till i switched to lubuntu and it started just spinning seemingly randomly. [02:48] anyone in here running 10.04 [02:49] Yeah, this is my goal [02:49] KoolaidJunkie: My guess is that something is wrong with the drive / filesystem and you won't actually be able to access the files from other OSs either. [02:49] And eff "MountManger" that program is an fstab butcher [02:50] Just curious does anyone know of a good Program to manage IPOD on Ubuntu [02:50] Aren't mounts handled by udisks anyway? Adding them manually with mount always seems to not unmount as cleanly (directory is still there in /media) [02:50] The drive is fine, I had it plugged into my Windows 7 laptop just 30min ago, transferring file to it. [02:50] BlackWeb Amarok can do it, not totally sure about newer ones though [02:51] Shit, I think I know the problem, and it never dawned on me until now [02:51] meowsus, what version you running? [02:51] Alright thanks methylenedioxy, I'll give it a try and see how it goes :) [02:52] 11.10 oneiric [02:52] The hard drive is protected by Window Bitlocker, which is preventing Linux from access it [02:52] Ok [02:52] So sorry for wasting your time. [02:52] i type exit and get a message saying there are stopped jobs [02:52] what does this mean and should i worry? [02:53] Many of the updates in the update manager for 11.10 are for GNOME desktop functionality... Does that in any way effect the experience of someone just using Unity? [02:54] I cant seem to partition alligned right. I have Xp and 11.04. Disk utility is telling me its off by 512bytes. what the hell [02:54] meowsus, what ubuntu version you using? [02:55] mazda01, 11.10 oneiric [02:55] hi there [02:55] how to copy ssh keys to another ubuntu machine? thanks [02:56] unknown_, it can't be as easy as copying ~/.ssh can it? [02:56] I have tried using ssh-copy-id -i from my machine [02:56] my machine name is uvm1 and the other is uvm2 [02:56] so I did like this [02:57] hello, all [02:57] ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub uvm1@uvm2 [02:57] but it asked me for a password [02:59] unknown_: That's expected. You need to authenticate with the remote host if you want it to trust you. [03:00] unknown_, right, you need to enter the password to login to that machine === Axlin_ is now known as Axlin [03:00] unknown_, http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2008/11/3-steps-to-perform-ssh-login-without-password-using-ssh-keygen-ssh-copy-id/#more-268 [03:00] meowsus, i'll be right back, need to restart [03:01] mazda01, right on, thanks man === {} is now known as derp [03:04] How do I use compiz effects on ubuntu 11.10 with unity? [03:05] I want to get my "cube effect" back. :) [03:06] ryu, it has to be done with compiz configure [03:08] mrdeb: Do you mean ccsm? I tried, just makes the interface weird. [03:08] mazda01, welcome back, daaawg ;) [03:08] * meowsus new thing is talking in jive on IRC [03:10] i have tried googleing to no avail, in proftpd where are the login records stored? i looked under /var/log/proftpd but it was not there [03:10] meowsus, lol [03:11] sebashtian: /etc/ftpd.passwd for non-system users [03:11] oh sorry, login records [03:11] thanks [03:12] I've got mine in /var/log/proftpd/proftpd.log accounts are in /etc/ftpd.passwd [03:14] http://i.imgur.com/D9C1g.png [03:14] meowsus, would this work? http://www.liberiangeek.net/2010/09/disableenable-auto-mount-ubuntu-10-0410-10-maverick-meerkat/ [03:14] I am getting this bug where that yellow resize rectangle pops up [03:14] for no reason [03:14] and wont go away [03:15] while i'm here just recently when i highlight text in google chrome and other applications it is blue not the default orange any idea what is causing this/how to fix it? [03:17] spacebug would the directory change if i was using gadmin-proftpd? [03:17] ugh 11.10 is so damn buggy [03:19] sebashtian: not sure, but the location is set in /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf [03:19] having problems. ubuntu LTS kernel 2.6.32 mouse works fine, but anything after that kernel mouse will lag when charging battery any reaons why? [03:19] mazda01, peeking now [03:20] meowsus, the bad part about that is NO devices will auto-mount anymore. [03:24] hey im tryng to install ubuntu 11.10 on my laptop but was having problems whit video drivers so i turn on the nomodeset option and it booted but now when im about to install it wont read my hard drive any ideas on how i can fix this [03:27] somsip, yea after purging everything again, touching those files and using --reinstall when installing things one at a time things seemed to work. thanks [03:29] LuckySMack: sounded messy, but good that it got there in the end [03:29] having problems. ubuntu LTS kernel 2.6.32 mouse works fine, but anything after that kernel mouse will lag when charging battery any reaons why? [03:30] wtf [03:30] has anyone experience an issue in 11.10 where when you move the mouse to either side of the screen the resize rectangle appears and doesn't go away?

[03:37] mazda01: ask your real question [03:38] aeon-ltd, ubuntuone will NOT allow me to add this computer to it. it's running 10.04 and it does NOT open a webpage to add this computer. Any thoughts? [03:38] having problems. ubuntu LTS kernel 2.6.32 mouse works fine, but anything after that kernel mouse will lag when charging battery any reaons why? [03:38] mazda01, my thoughts are "use dropbox" [03:39] But no one wants to hear from me ;) [03:39] lol [03:39] meowsus, already use dropbox but ubuntuone permits 5GB for free, Dropbox only 2gb [03:39] i wish google would release their drop box killer [03:40] mazda01: unless you have referrals [03:40] mazda01, that's why i hustled my friends and grew my acct to 6.5gb [03:40] But i understand your plight [03:40] i feel like i did when upgrading from 6.04 to 6.10 :C [03:41] meowsus: at some point, i installed dropbox on every system in the office... [03:41] and was basically hustling classmates [03:41] * meowsus hails to the king, baby [03:41] though apparently you get double the space if you associate a .edu account [03:42] any one know how to get kb shorcuts to work?

[03:45] Ye-yar [03:45] Jordan_U: I have one last question - is it possible to 1) not show that "Install ubuntu/Try it" menu? [03:45] Hi, can I use sometimes apt and sometimes the software center or I must use only one? both manage dependencies all right? [03:45] ddrescue is better imho [03:45] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubuntu [03:46] It's actually pretty killer [03:46] Like it more than XFCE for sure [03:46] Mario_ they all do the same thing...go ahead [03:46] meowsus: I second that! [03:46] Jordan_U: once the image is dd'ed. And the other question - is it possible to have my dotfiles in /home/ubuntu at the USB flash? [03:46] thank you. [03:46] meowsus, yeah, i played with LXDE a little bit [03:46] meowsus, installed it onto my ubuntu install [03:46] * meowsus gives carlosqueso a huge-trout hi-five [03:46] anyway to remote shutdown a pc on your local internet with ubuntu?

A. I would think Ubuntu comes with a firewall up and running because there is nothing to configure it installed by default. B. Is there SELinux enabled and enforcing by default, is there something else ubuntu uses? [03:49] Guest63797 install vnc in both. [03:49] SushiDude, there is no firewall by default because there are NO SERVICES running by default. Not sure about question B [03:49] any one formated and reinstalled lts? [03:50] !firewall | SushiDude [03:50] SushiDude: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist.

[03:50] no, it't not [03:51] how do you easily change users group accounts on 11.10? trick question install k user :| [03:51] Also why does Ubuntu default not ofter encrypted LVMs [03:51] Please help on this http://paste.ubuntu.com/729969/ I cant update [03:51] and why does it default to using MBR and not GUID?

[03:53] haha silly question - in your pac manager there is something like a full text search on both package names and descriptions? [03:54] mazda01, pcmanfm is the name of the filemanager... not a user in this channel [03:55] meowsus, i know [03:55] bandit5432: where is it to be found [03:55] meowsus: vifm [03:55] researcher123, open dash and search for update manager [03:55] Like fedora there should be a option for an Encrypted LVM using GUID when you install.. because encrypting just the home folder and lead to a lot more exploits because you edit the kernel and other system binaries because they are not encrypted. [03:56] meowsus, it's funny, everything i am reading people are actually having the opposite issue, it's not automounting usb devices. LOOL [03:56] oh talking about manager, I used to had "open a terminal here" in my old one, how could I put it back ?, (was thunar) [03:56] bandit5432: I am quite new [03:56] qin, que? [03:56] !dash [03:56] mazda01, me too, man [03:56] /bin/sh links to the DASH shell in all releases since Ubuntu Edgy (6.10). Since DASH is not 100% compatible with the BASH shell, some scripts might break. You can make scripts execute using BASH by changing the first line of the script to « #! /bin/bash [03:56] It's drivin me bo-nanzas [03:57] researcher123, is ok you can also open ubuntu software center click edit software sources [03:57] meowsus: less gui-relant file manager... or, please, disregard. [03:57] It is these security things that ubuntu is laking that make me hesitant to run ubuntu at all =\ [03:57] bandit5432: ok.that I can do [03:57] qin, oooh! Looking into it now! [03:57] guys? how to search with apt? [03:57] Ahhh, this might be a project in the future [03:57] bandit5432: once I am in Software Sources what do i do [03:58] researcher123, click on the other tab [03:58] It is a big distro and I would hate to seem them be doing such a critical thing wrong.. [03:58] I'm still not 100% of vim [03:58] MagBo: apt-cache search , apt-get help [03:58] (though teaching myself these days) [03:59] bandit5432: done [03:59] researcher123, cool [03:59] Well, i'm going to stop fretting about this and listen to more Holst. Goodnight yall, and remember: http://weknowmemes.com/2011/10/hello-yes-this-is-dog/ [03:59] meowsus, are there any preferences within PCManFM? [03:59] bandit5432: I clicked Otgher Software tab.what next [03:59] mazda01, yes [03:59] click ok [04:00] researcher123, and then try and update [04:00] Is there anyone I can talk to to help get these things sorted out? [04:00] mazda01, you can use it. The desktops a bit weird. I don't like it as much as Nautilis but it's not terrible [04:00] by any stretch [04:00] SushiDude: go and file a launchpad bug/request [04:00] Just... clunkier. [04:00] researcher123, click close then update [04:00] xangua, okay [04:00] meowsus, there's no setting about external media mounting? [04:00] xangua, thank you [04:00] Try Lubunu... or just straight Debian... it's fun. My computer is rediculously fast.

[04:03] mazda01, definitely the right track [04:03] Bpendragon: you should just be able to install it through software center and run it from the menu [04:03] More tomorrow, and thanks! [04:04] is anyone else having a problem with wobbly windows sticking when using multiple desktops/workspaces? [04:04] bandit5432: http://paste.ubuntu.com/729969/ [04:04] Unity's lack of applets is a fatal flaw [04:04] researcher123, you still have the extras rep selected [04:05] researcher123, you unchecked or removed extras? [04:05] latest update changes a lot of gnome and other software, makes it difficult to decide [04:05] it looks nicer but it's not better, except perhaps for the dash [04:05] meowsus and you said you don't have an /etc/hal/ folder? [04:05] carlosqueso: thanks, I was trying to download and install it from the web. I just switched to Linux a week or so ago and am just learning the ropes. [04:05] now on natty [04:05] bandit5432: I dont know how to unselect that [04:05] the launcher on the left in unity is actually a great feature but since it has no applets I don't like it... [04:05] researcher123, you go into software sources like before [04:05] I want my weather applets and my system monitor applet [04:06] causative, its as if you think we care [04:06] Bpendragon, welcome to linux! Your first bet for any software is to search the software center (or Synaptic). You'll be surprised at how much is there! [04:06] I am on oneric 11.10 [04:06] people complain too much about unity when almost everything that is complained about can be changed. [04:06] causative: there is a weather and system monitor indicator [04:06] researcher123, ok then open ubuntu software center and click edit software sources [04:06] meowsus, it says on the LXDE faq page this: Yes, it does. It mounts devices from /etc/fstab automatically, others - removable drives and such - get mounted through HAL software. [04:06] bandit5432: when I go to software sources I dnt know how to unslect as u suggested [04:06] yeah xangua but the system monitor isn't as nice... it doesn't show the little graphs [04:06] it just shows a number [04:06] carlosqueso: I'll keep that in mind. I'm going to stay in here till I'm sure it installed properly, then I'll skeddadle. [04:07] researcher123, do you find the xtras repo in the list there? [04:07] researcher123, can you tell how are the changes [04:07] is anyone else having a problem with wobbly windows sticking when using multiple desktops/workspaces? [04:07] xangua, I am at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ and signed in but I can't seem to find the report button =\ [04:07] can someone give me a quick rundown on how to download/install a Realtek Ethernet Card driver rtl8169. Shows up under lspci but doesn't seem to run the driver. Thansk people [04:07] eww realtek [04:08] Bpendragon...let me know if you need help [04:08] Silly question can I upgrade a ubuntu installation in a flash drive? or the permanence file is just for new documents? [04:08] bandit5432: there are tabs link Other software, updates, ubuntu software etc [04:08] Mario_, persistance you mean? [04:08] agrh. in gnome3 there isn't gconf-editor avaliable? [04:08] researcher123, click on other software tab and scroll tilll you find extras [04:08] urlin2u yes. [04:09] MagBo, yes and extra dconf editor as well [04:09] bandit5432: *sadface* [04:09] is anyone else having a problem with wobbly windows sticking when using multiple desktops/workspaces? [04:09] MagBo, why the sad face? [04:09] Mario_, what you have is the original iso and whatever updates you have done and saved stuff in the persistence you can't realy upgrade that. [04:10] researcher123, you still there? [04:10] bandit5432: my question was "isn't" avaliable, not "is gconf-editor avaliable" [04:10] bandit5432: extra not seen [04:11] thnak you urlin2u how does the presistence work, is it mapped to /home? [04:11] Mario_, if you had say a 8 gig usb or bigger and a full install and the space you could upgrade disto's ten. [04:11] MagBo, there is available gconf-editor and a new dconf-ediotr aas well [04:11] editor' [04:11] bandit5432: so if yes, then how do I find a package where they are? cause, you know, I kind of read man apt-get and didn't find anything about fulltext searches on the package database [04:11] Mario_, it is a file in home that actually gets full and can't be emptiedbasically. [04:12] researcher123, look for one that says idependent [04:12] urlin2u ok, I have the iso, it is not installed in the pendrive, ok I get it. thanks. [04:12] bandit5432: got Independent [04:12] researcher123, uncheck both of them [04:13] bandit5432: did [04:13] Mario_, no problem you can actually make the persistance larger though by having it as a partition rather then a file if you have the room, it is called casper-rw [04:13] MagBo, apt-get install gconf-editor dconf-tools [04:13] researcher123, then try to update again [04:14] bandit5432: done [04:14] researcher123, no errors? [04:14] bandit5432: no errors [04:14] researcher123, yay!! === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [04:14] bandit5432: u r great in helping until the issue is sortd out [04:14] researcher123, no problem [04:15] bandit5432: thanks a lot. May you enjoy all the health, wealth, peace and joy [04:15] researcher123, and you as well [04:15] MagBo, did that answer your question? [04:17] jrodger, did you get the real tech working? [04:18] bandit5432: unable to locate package :) [04:19] bandit5432: apt-get install vim works though [04:19] carlosqueso: got it installed, I need to install a specific .jar file, where do I put it on the computer? [04:19] MagBo, did you enable the multiverse and universe repos? [04:19] Bpendragon, if you installed it through the software center, it should be in your menus and ready to go [04:19] bandit5432: ah, okay, seems that I didn't [04:20] my laptop cannot not hibernat correctly. === root is now known as Guest51362 [04:20] it won't turn off the laptop, when I choose hibernate [04:21] also when it boot up, the screen is very very dark, but still boot. [04:21] yoga, your swap equal to ram or larger? [04:21] carlosqueso: it's not available through the software center. Any ideas? [04:21] swap > ram [04:22] urlin2u: [04:22] yoga, less than, has to be at least equal [04:22] Bpendragon...sure, open up a terminal and type "sudo apt-get install eclipse" [04:22] without the quotes of course [04:22] I just installed 11.10 on my toshiba L-655, but have no battery indicator [04:23] yoga, sorry I was distracted greater then not sure than. [04:23] it does show up in W7 [04:23] dluzius, you see the wifi icon the sound ...etc? [04:24] wait... I'm past that. I have eclipse up and running. But I need to get a specific .jar file available. On windows and mac there's a specific folder you place it in, I was wondering if the same was true for ubuntu, and if so, where [04:24] yes [04:24] What is a bad load average [04:24] but, I can boot with recover from the boot menu, then it will prompt me to another boot menu, and then I choose resume normal boot, it boot ok with the screen bright. [04:24] Bpendragon...I'm not sure...what are you trying to do with the jar file? [04:24] dluzius, you were on earlier right? have you done anything that might be a cause? [04:25] I need it to be able to use the classes in it, for a class on introductory Java I'm in [04:25] I was on earlir but gon't think I've done anything to cause this [04:26] Bpendragon...you can do that from within eclipse IIRC [04:26] let me fire it up and check [04:26] dluzius, you might run unity --reset to see if that does it this command just sets unity to stock. [04:26] MagBo, did you get it working? [04:27] sorry, what is unity --reset [04:27] any one know how to reliably turn a monitor off including the backlight? [04:27] bandit5432: I did [04:28] MagBo, ok good [04:28] Bpendragon, you shoudl be able to save the file to your home directory or your desktop, then import it using File -> Import in eclipse [04:28] dluzius, I exsplained it in that post. [04:28] ok [04:29] what post are you referring to [04:29] bandit5432: xset dpms force off IIRC [04:29] i can have back light off and screen off and no way to get it back on or screen blank and backlight on [04:29] MagBo, does not turn the backlight off sadly [04:29] dluzius, it sets unity as if just installed worth a try if you have changed nothing might fix it never know. [04:29] bandit5432: IIRC wasn't part of the command btw [04:29] bandit5432: xbacklight -set 0 IIRC [04:29] How can i prevent a SlowLoris attack i'm running apache2 on Ubuntu server [04:29] linuxnut: mwahhhahahahahaaa [04:30] dluzius, this one are you really that slow. you might run unity --reset to see if that does it this command just sets unity to stock. :D [04:30] urlin2u, ouch a little harsh :P [04:30] how do I do this unity --reset [04:30] linuxnut: if you have listened to RSnake talking at blackhat con (?) closely enough, he DID mentioned ways to do that [04:30] Ubuntu is awesome :D [04:31] linuxnut: ayway, your question is a bit off the topic here [04:31] bandit5432, notice the smiley it is a joke. [04:31] dluzius, ctrl+alt+t and then type unity --reset [04:31] Anonymousmario: I wish they had an option to make a tiny installation with that awesome gnome3 thing. I mean why does linux weght 4GB when installed? [04:31] ahhhh, ok, and sorry I'm so slow [04:32] carlosqueso: ok, I've got it, thanks. [04:32] Bpendragon..no problem! [04:32] dluzius, we all have to start some where [04:32] hi [04:32] canis [04:32] MagBo, xbacklight does not work [04:32] MagBo, i can get the backlight off with sudo vbetool dpsm off === canis is now known as Guest76064 [04:32] can anyone tell me if can connect to kostasa89.dyndns.org:8080 [04:33] but you then have to type it back on with no screen [04:33] please let me know === Guest76064 is now known as Canis_ [04:33] bandit5432: well, use xbindkeys to bind the script on a keycombo === Canis_ is now known as Canis__ [04:33] MagBo, i did that and cant get it to reliably come back on [04:34] I cant seem to find a way to prevent the attack, i can execute the attack but not prevent it : | [04:34] MagBo, i even used 2 diffrent keys and added vbetools to sudoers so i dont need a pass [04:34] I install Ubuntu-desktop on top of Kubunto, when I change from Kdm to Lightdm, but still see the Kubuntu when booting, how do I switch to boot with Ubuntu? [04:34] bandit5432: and still no reliability? [04:34] linuxnut: you are soo out of topic man [04:34] yoga, click on the cog-wheel next to login box [04:34] yoga, at login the little. [04:35] linuxnut: medicore ubuntu user doesn't know what's slowloris tbh :D [04:35] bandit4532: No luck yet, the site manager has stuck the cd in and we will try and recompile the driver and insmod it [04:35] MagBo, no it seems this bug has been around since 2005 or around [04:35] haha [04:35] love that kind of bugs [04:35] How can I get rid of the mail icon in indicator applet for 11.04 gnome-panel? [04:35] jrodger, i thought that card worked out of the bag [04:35] media [04:35] oops typo [04:36] soreau, sudo aptitude remove indicator-messages [04:36] bandit5432: I can switch between Kubuntu-deskop and Ubuntu-desktop, but my system is still an Kubuntu, I want to change it to Ubuntu [04:36] soreau, or sudo apt-get remove indicator-messages [04:36] bandir5432: kernel 2.6~ is being used as a firewall, will let you know how we go with the insmod process [04:37] hey guys, I'm having a weird issue with ubuntu [04:37] bandit5432: Cool thanks [04:37] bandit5432: I didn't understand why it's still there even when no evo* processes are running [04:37] It's giving me a "No such file or directory" error on I file I know exists [04:38] soreau, i dunno its annoying you can try sudo apt-get remove evolution-indicator and then you have to restart the menu [04:38] I mean, if I do an ls, it's there [04:38] but when I try to run it, I get that error [04:38] bandit5432: ok [04:38] soreau, type in a terminal killall gnome-panel [04:38] soreau, type in a terminal 'killall gnome-panel' [04:38] bandit5432: Yea, I know how to restart the panel [04:39] bandit5432: I had to restart it after removing indicator-messages to get rid of the mail icon [04:39] soreau, you are ahead of me then i had to google it last time i removed the indicator [04:40] MagBo, the bug is around since 2005 and about 100 more just like it wish they would fix it :| [04:40] bandit5432: kernel 2.6~ is being used as a firewall, will let you know how we go with the insmod process [04:40] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/41994 [04:40] Launchpad bug 41994 in gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) "closed Laptop Lid to reliably keep Backlight off" [Medium,Confirmed] [04:40] bandit5432: FWIW, removing evolution-indicator alone didn't help. indicator-messages has to be removed for it not to display [04:41] jrodger, that might be fun to get to work no other card you can use? [04:41] soreau, ahh ok i hated that little icon i know that [04:41] can anyone read me ? [04:41] test [04:41] jasonmchristos, working [04:42] jasonmchristos, nope [04:42] bandit5432: ty [04:42] bandit5432: Yea it sucks because not everyone us it and you can't just click on it to remove it [04:42] :D [04:42] urlin2u, fix my power issue!! [04:42] I would really like to know why it's so difficult to write an intuitive point-n-click panel [04:42] gnome-panel in older versions of gnome2 was great [04:43] soreau, its that way by design!! [04:43] i'm trying out this znc deal [04:43] but instead of getting better, it's just regressed repeatedly until now [04:43] mooo mooo mooo [04:43] bandit5432, I don't know it seems your hegemony cup runith over. :D [04:43] big works uhoh [04:44] The unity team should have just put their ego's aside and wrote a regular panel that is superior to all. Instead, they wrote unity [04:44] soreau, i know i am still trying to get lxde or xfce to work for me [04:44] bandit5432: What doesn't work about those two DE's? [04:44] soreau, gnome-shell is no better [04:44] I didn't say it was [04:44] soreau, little things i am still trying to stick with gnome 3 fallback [04:45] this power bug is about ready to make me scream [04:45] of course you can read about it across almost all the distros [04:46] and no one had a reliable fix :| [04:46] bandit5432: Best is compiz from upstream since it doesn't have all the bugs ubuntu introduced [04:46] soreau, i tend to turn all composite off [04:47] bandit5432: Well you tend to suck ;) [04:47] soreau, i want stable and i dont like flashy [04:47] bandit5432: Like I said, compiz from upstream without the ubuntu bugs [04:47] soreau, but i want new apps so i keep going with new releases [04:48] but if you don't like flashy, I guess that makes you.. not attracted to women either [04:48] soreau, compiz adds what to my work flow? [04:48] Something weird happened and I don't know how to explain or handle it. After a disk check (e2fsck) on my large backup drive, within the lost+found directory are two directories which link to my home directory on another disk. They don't show up as symlinks and when I cd to them, I am in my home directory. "file" shows them as setgid directories. Are they safe to remove? [04:48] bandit5432: Tons. You have to learn how to use it [04:48] this is what I feel about natty to precise bandit5432 soreau http://imagebin.org/182906 [04:49] urlin2u: No one cares what you think ;) [04:49] soreau, that adds to productivity? i dooubt it [04:49] soreau, thats the nicest thing anyone has said to me thank you. ;D [04:49] and what does a rotating cube help me accomplish ?? [04:50] bandit5432: To each their own. I personally find I cannot function fluently without it [04:50] bandit5432, it just means that all the DE are actually easy to manipulate, it is not done the same way. [04:50] bandit5432: Also it has exoom and locks the driver to vsync which is added bonuses [04:50] ezoom* [04:50] soreau, i tried it for a couple years then was like meh [04:51] bandit5432: I guess you never learned how to configure it [04:51] Anyone available to help a noobie [04:51] soreau, again configure it for what? what does it actually help you do?

Simple. [05:05] bandit5432: no other card we can use (firewall is remote from here) also they have removed make and the ability to download from ubuntu sources, so yes, the will be a trial.

[05:22] Alkon, install libavcodec-extra-53 [05:23] tonyyarusso, you trying to get us to believe that 11.10 has better performance than 10.04? [05:23] bandit5432: i'll try with that [05:24] bandit5432: No, I'm trying to get someone to find their problem before going on wild goose chases. [05:24] Because 10.04 doesn't use gnome 3 etc.. [05:24] tonyyarusso, that makes sense [05:25] bandit5432: again the same problem [05:26] Alkon, let me look [05:28] bandit5432: i think that the problem is not with the codec, i have this problem since the release update [05:29] Alkon, no its a linking problem or a version number === Kasjopaja23111 is now known as Kasjopaja [05:29] bandit5432: what can i do?

What's the difference between using Wubi and installing from CD? [06:20] HI all ......... i have one question using xterm -e vi is it possible to get control back to previous terminal while a process is executing in the another terminal [06:20] The reason being that I have been unsuccessful in trying to get my computer to boot from USB key, and don't have a cd-rom drive and was looking to use Wubi to install Ubuntu [06:20] h33lt0e, wubi is a file in windows. [06:21] so does that mean it just runs the ubuntu interface inside windows? [06:21] I can't install ubuntu onto an exf3 partition through windows? [06:21] h33lt0e, yes, do you know the out of the bios key prompt to choose the boot? [06:22] yeah, i tried everything through the bios, I have an Acer Revo AR3610 [06:22] when i try to boot from USB it just hangs, with a blinking cursor [06:22] h33lt0e, you tr f12 at powering on? [06:22] try* [06:22] i tried formatting NTFS, Fat32 and i tried f12, set my bios to boot from usb key [06:22] h33lt0e, how are you loading the usb? [06:23] it all just goes to a black screen with a blinking cursor [06:23] I use unetbootin to create the USB drive, then i just plug it in to the back of my revo in one of the usb ports [06:24] h33lt0e, tap the shift key at powering on at the gui hit f6 then nomodeset for a low graphic boot sounds like a graphic card problem. [06:24] Oh, interesting. Is it an issue that I am using a 60" LCD projection tv? [06:25] I will be back, i will try this! [06:25] h33lt0e, hard to say but unplug it if needed try the f6 plugged and unplugged. [06:26] so as soon as it turns on i tap f6? [06:26] h33lt0e, start tapping as you turn it on it gets you to a early gui. [06:27] I can't get jockey to select the current nvidia drivers and use them [06:27] it throws an error and says to check the log [06:27] whats the best format for the usb drive? NTFS? Fat32?

[06:29] h33lt0e, on the web it says a nividia card so te problem is the graphic driver the low graphic should work. [06:30] h33lt0e, if the usb is booting sounds like it is.

[06:32] i really have to configure out [06:32] urlin2u apply will not activate [06:32] celltech, have you installed synaptic without runing and updates? [06:33] urlin2u, no. I just updated it [06:33] i still wonder why synaptic was removed, it is a very stable application now [06:33] celltech, so that repositories are good the cd is not ticked? [06:34] ulrin2u: f6 doesnt do anything, goes straight to blinking cursor still [06:34] urlin2u, select all for complete removal. and the Apply option stays blank. So I can't "apply" changes [06:34] h33lt0e, can you try the usb on another conputer to confirm it is good?

[06:38] celltech, so the select all for complete removal is part of the gui popup after picking stuff? [06:39] urlin2u, no. I manually righ click/ select them all, then try to apply the removal. There is no select all option [06:39] celltech, hmm I just don't understand, you are familoiar with synaptic though and how it works I assume. [06:40] urlin2u, enough to remove residual which I read is good to do for the computer [06:42] celltech, I don't think there is a select all option in synaptic it is a per package [06:43] celltech, I might be misunderstanding you though but with dependencies a select all right click makes no sense at least to me. :D [06:44] urlin2u, There is not no. However. When I right click every single option, and mark for complete removal. I'm supposed to have the option to apply the changes. And my Apply option is blacked out and not selectable [06:44] hello, i wanna know how to unistall a program that i installed with "make" command [06:44] can anyone help with polling mac address of ethernet cards?

[08:41] hi all, is there a server edition of ubuntu for 32bit machines? [08:41] llutz_: i used some guide on triple booting fedora win7 and ubuntu ( i thought it was smart, and hey it worked ) === tfilipczuk is now known as makak [08:41] jtr__: in that case it should be safe just to remove fedora.

[08:42] jtr__: so linux grub entries are on linux partitions? [08:42] strix_: ya, maybe they are , would it help if i gave u a partition detail on pastebin ? [08:43] jtr__: and you boot from windows boot menu. do you set up this from windows with EasyBCD [08:43] strix_: 90% i think that is the case , because i used some other software ( from win 7 ) which registers linux boot entries after detecting them [08:43] strix_: yes ESASYBCD!!!! [08:44] jtr__: i see, so you want to remove fedora, and leave w7 and ubuntu [08:44] strix_: after deleting fedora i want to use its space and some more from the win7 ntfs partition [08:44] jtr__: easier just to use grub and boot win7 from there. no additional software needed at all [08:44] strix_: ya basically remove fedora first ( its irritating ) [08:45] strix_: the problem i face is because of three distros assigned individual spaces i run out of space on ubuntu. [08:45] I was thinking about doing the following: having per-vga packages shipped with my live distro and an initscript working in a tiny linux to detect hardware then building per-boot package set and kexec into the per-boot made linux setup. I wonder what ubuntu devs think about that approach :) [08:46] jtr__: so remove fedora entry with EasyBCD, remove fedora partition and use the space for something else [08:46] jtr__: you can (and must) easily share partition between your OSes :) [08:47] hello everyone, i have installed some software (apache ,php, mysql etc) through apt-get now i want to install it on another machine where i do not have internet connection , how can i copy and configure .deb files [08:47] strix_: ok ill do that and if after that ubuntu works, i will see you on this IRC :D [08:47] on this Internets :) [08:47] Hi [08:47] aum__: if both machines use the same os-version, copy the deb from /var/cache/apt/archives [08:47] jtr__: it'l boot [08:48] strix_: thank you [08:48] jtr__: np [08:48] Anyone know of a battery monitoring app that will sit in the tray in fluxbox?

[08:50] thank you, llutz_ , will it be visible in synaptic package manager ? [08:50] what is 'sfx recovery software'? [08:51] aum__: no, you either have to copy them into /var/cache/apt/archives on target machine and "apt-get install php...." or use dpkg -i *.deb to install them [08:52] ok thank you... [08:52] Um, I think I've been a twit and removed my user from the sudoers group, without setting a password for root .. is there any way to fix that without booting a live cd etc ? [08:52] milligan: boot into single user mode (recovery mode) from grub [08:52] hmm my load is always 1.00 and above, never below 1.00, cpu is only at 2%, [08:52] alright :( [08:53] milligan: why is that sad ? [08:53] ikonia, I have to boot. [08:53] uptime-fetish :) [08:54] milligan: what do you expect ? [08:54] No :) My uptime is like three minuts now, haha [08:54] I did a usermod -G to my user.. I never edited the sudoers file. Is that command sufficient to screw up my sudo permissions ? [08:54] strix_: i dont know which partition to remove :( [08:54] milligan: -aG it should have been [08:55] llutz, right. So, what group do I need to add my user to to be able to use sudo again ? [08:55] sudo ? [08:55] milligan: adduser user admin (admin is the group for sudo) [08:56] right. So, if I don't want to add a new user, but fix my current, I would do: usermod -aG admin,milligan,vboxusers milligan ? [08:56] milligan: yes [08:57] cheers. [08:57] brb [08:57] milligan: adduser does more than just creating users (read man adduser) [08:57] Hi guys, i just installed xfce desktop on my ubuntu 11.10 machine, and suddenly i cant access my home directory it gives an error saying, (error starting file /home/me/.gvfs: Transport endpoint is not connected) is there a fix for this maybe? or have i messed up me os?

I rebooted after editing fstab [09:44] ksx4system: can you show me where that device shows trim support (I'm asking as I have 2 of the exact same devices) [09:46] ikonia: hdparm -I /dev/sda | grep TRIM outputs two lines "Data Set Management TRIM supported (limit 1 block)" and "Deterministic read data after TRIM" [09:47] ksx4system: ok - cool, I got that on mine too [09:47] it was one of my worst ideas ever to buy SSD [09:47] Jordan_U: it has nothing to do with the problem I used to face (and solved) tonight [09:48] what folder does ubuntu install programs to? [09:48] ksx4system: ahh, mine as OCZ Vertex PLUS, sorry, slightly different [09:48] I should just get one/two 10k rpm WD drives [09:48] ikonia: still it supports TRIM ;) but it's probably not Sandforce based [09:48] ksx4system: totally agree [09:48] Jordan_U: it's just that I came up with an idea of creating fully persistant live distro on top of archlinux that'll do ubuntu-like hardware-detecting magick [09:48] I am trying to install openvas-server on Ubuntu 11.10 and I'm getting the following error -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/730799/.

[09:49] ikonia: I'm sentenced to SSD now... HDD prices are crazy atm [09:50] Jordan_U: I'm really interested in how is it solved in ubuntu, but I think that having package cache and booting in an intermediate linux that builds up needed stuff and kexeccing into the per-boot built system will do it :) [09:50] ksx4system: I can't help you with that as I don't control the prices [09:50] ikonia: and current Ubuntu doesn't want to run with it... nightmare :/ [09:50] ikonia: i know, i know [09:50] Jordan_U: well, because - generally - I don't like ubuntu tbh :) I picked it as I needed to build up a simple bootable live distro to do some quick hacking [09:51] ikonia: well, I'll reboot this box one more time and check if this TRIM fail was temporary [09:51] MagBo: Kexec doesn't magically pass along proper drivers and hardware configuration. [09:51] MagBo: OK, then we should move this discussion to another channel like ##linux (if you want to continue). [09:52] Jordan_U: ofc.

[10:58] googles dns server [10:59] i have tried to manually set the file resolv.conf [10:59] but nothing to do [10:59] i dont like the new update system of ubuntu :( [10:59] he left you without internet just for update [10:59] i asked you a question [11:00] day 7 what happens ? [11:00] to me? [11:00] plotino: What does "ifconfig" show? [11:00] show the static IP correctly [11:00] new? same as its always been aş far as ive noticed [11:00] the problem is in resolving dns [11:00] plotino: Oh, okay. Run this: echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf [11:00] How does one auto-mount a ntfs partition at startup? Is there any GUI, or should I just go into fstab? [11:01] which is why i asked if you can ping 8.8.8.8 plotino .... [11:01] GeorgeJ: fstab. Oh, and the type is "ntfs-3g", not ntfs [11:01] ping 8.8.8.8 is replying dr_willis [11:01] (Newbie here) Does anyone know of a possible reason why I fail to connect via Pidgin to an IRC server different than this one? The error message is "connection timed out". I wonder what the problem could be, anyone? [11:01] dont use 8.8.8.8 it has blocks against racism [11:01] theadmin: ntfs-3g? [11:01] GeorgeJ: Yeah [11:01] use your local isp nameservers [11:01] jasonmchristos, details about the blocks? [11:01] theadmin: Hmm, I'm unfamilliar with this, what does the 3g stand for? [11:01] jasonmchristos: lolwut, no it doesn't, you have no idea what you're talking about [11:02] GeorgeJ: ntfs-3g is the read-write NTFS driver, "ntfs" filesystem type assumes the standard read-only one [11:02] theadmin: Oh I see, thanks! [11:02] so dr_willis [11:02] test [11:02] plotino: Would you run that command I gave and try again? [11:02] plotino: so try setting your dns server to be 8.8.8.8 like suggested earlier [11:03] where ? in resolv.conf [11:03] ? [11:03] Chinta, it seems it can be resolved, but not connected. are you behind some firewall possibly? [11:03] sven_: just going to have to try yourself post a racism webpage and see if it gets blocked on 8.8.8.8 [11:03] jasonmchristos: You're saying some nonsense. Please stop. [11:04] theadmin ifconfig? [11:04] plotino: echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf [11:04] ok [11:04] nupe dont use 8.8.8.8 [11:05] use your local isp's nameservers [11:05] jasonmchristos: Stop. being. an. IDIOT! [11:05] sven_: Thanks for answering. Yes, I guess so. I am using an open network at the university. But the funny thing is that I can connect to THIS server. [11:05] and get to know the kids that work there [11:05] !ops | jasonmchristos is being a troll, please, someone, get rid of it >.< [11:05] jasonmchristos, i just tried it with b&h and it resolves just like any other dns, so while there are good reasons not to use 8.8.8.8 this is certainly not one of them [11:05] !ops | jasonmchristos is being a troll, please, someone, get rid of it [11:05] jasonmchristos is being a troll, please, someone, get rid of it: Help!

[11:06] jasonmchristos: stop now [11:06] jasonmchristos: your only warning [11:06] said his website was racist [11:06] ok ikonia [11:06] plotino: The secret? We just set your nameserver to Google's public DNS [11:06] plotino: its not getting your dns servers.. if you are using static ip. set a static dns if you want [11:06] ill stop [11:06] plotino: You could as well have ran "sudo dhcpcd" to set it to your ISP's nameservers I suppose. [11:07] sven_: LOL. Well, I guess I should then really sit and study and look for procrastination elsewhere. Have a nice week! [11:07] just tell everyone to use 8.8.8.8 when thier local isp provides it [11:07] exit [11:07] oops [11:07] mm [11:07] and tell me [11:07] Say, I have my workspaces in default setting, 2x2 square. I just had to get back my terminal that only had very small portion of it's lower part visible on the uppermost part of top right workspace :/ [11:07] theadmin why my usual DNS didnt work? [11:07] my isp dns has other spammy issues.. so yes.. i use 8.8.8.8 instead of theirs [11:08] Just a moment ago, before pressing alt+tab, it was located in lower right workspace, right around middle of it === LinoSP is now known as LinoSP|away [11:08] keep feeding the google :p [11:08] dr_willis: It wasn't set [11:08] plotino: could be the router dident get the right info. or they are dow [11:08] Oops [11:08] mm [11:08] plotino: Yeah, could be they're down, or it wasn't set, or who knows what [11:08] strange because im using that dns on this machine now [11:08] anyway [11:08] i have fix one of the problem [11:08] plotino: your use of static ip may mean you dident set a dns... [11:09] yes i do [11:09] in the resolv.conf [11:09] but it didnt work [11:09] now it's working [11:09] ok [11:09] and that got overwriten by the network manager.,,, [11:09] plotino, use "dig ibm.com @ANY-IP" to check if ANY-IP does resolve stuff for you... [11:09] anyway actually im using network manager or not? [11:09] set the ip/dns in network manager. o [11:09] if i want to contribute in helping unity wht should i do > [11:10] i have done also [11:10] i have use nm.applet [11:10] plotino: Possibly not, networkmanager doesn't care for resolv.conf [11:10] gunfire007: apply at the unity project [11:10] double check it. ;) could be a typo [11:10] because it was not sohowing auto in unity [11:10] JapyDooge: ok [11:10] i dont like unity [11:10] gunfire007: http://unity.ubuntu.com/getinvolved/ [11:10] :-) [11:10] so to get back notification area === eric is now known as LLStarks [11:11] i have to install gnomne-shell??

[11:16] !ask | Jonii [11:16] Jonii: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily).

[11:18] Graphics is 2400xp [11:18] so it jumped from the middle of the screen to the top tight? [11:18] mariorocks!, is that 400MB harddrive right? [11:18] yes [11:18] , on 400MB not well, if at all [11:18] Mariorocks1: It won't, Ubuntu requirs 6GB to even install [11:19] Or 400GB? [11:19] heh.. an old hd.. [11:19] Mariorocks1: Try, hm... I have no idea what to suggest you. SliTaZ maybe? [11:19] tiny core linux = 10mb [11:19] Or that [11:19] , how do you have a 400MB hard drive lying around? [11:20] time to spend $30 and get a bigger hd... [11:20] theadmin: LOL 6Gb, you can do it under 1Gb (bare bones, no X, no desktop env.) [11:20] i am thinking about updating it in 2012 to a 1TB harddrive emachine computer [11:20] ksx4system: The desktop Ubuntu does [11:20] , wait wait, 400MB to 1TB?? [11:20] ksx4system: I'm not talking about mininstall or derivatives [11:20] Mariorocks1: not Ubuntu, but other distributions can run fine in 400MB [11:20] i run my whole system off a 32gb usb flash. ;) [11:20] retro0 i was talking buying a new computer [11:21] :P [11:21] Does anybody know where (besides mimeapps.list) I can find data about which application is used to open certain filetypes? For weeks now if I connect a smart-card (via a reader) the folder is opened in gedit instead of nautilus showing the folder. The same happens when I try to open the trashcan via cairo-dock. [11:21] theadmin: I think about minimal CD [11:21] whats the name of the firewall app in 11.10? [11:21] nachos: ufw [11:21] !firewall [11:21] Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist. [11:21] , ah ok. But still, I'm surprised you've got a 400MB hard drive. My first computer was a 486 with a 170MB hard drive, and that was 20 years ago [11:21] so I'm surprised you've got a hard drive that size [11:21] i got the computer back in 2003 [11:22] dr_willis: yeah. It was barely visible anymore. For some reason, I haven't seen any window disappear completely, there's always some small trace left of them in some corner or side [11:22] hi there.. i have a ubuntu host running on vmware.. it uses lvm for its root fs.. i have now changed the size of the disk allocated from vmware.. how do i then resize the root partition? [11:23] jonii it could be some compix plugin/keycombo.. [11:23] , Honestly, if you've got a 1GB flash drive lying around you could run it off that if you really wanted to. It would probably run a little slow, but it would be doable [11:23] I am a ubuntu geek :3 [11:23] you just can't install it, it has to be the live cd [11:23] home on flash.. / on the hd.. [11:23] i have version 9.10, 10,04, 10,10, 11.04, 11.10 :P [11:23] well /boot on the hd.. [11:23] dr_willis: but as far as I know, the only shortcut to moving windows is ctrl+alt+arrow, which is unable to do anything like that [11:24] those versions are all on different live cds [11:24] jonii the grid plugin can do more i think [11:24] Mrokii, i can find that info on nautilus [11:24] What's that, and is it installed by default? [11:25] , yeah, if you run it on a flash drive you'll get data retention which means it'll save your files and settings, so it might be an option [11:25] no idea Jonii check the ccsm tool and see whats enabled. [11:25] !ccsm [11:25] To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' (or 'simple-ccsm' for pre-Oneiric). If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [11:26] one thing i think is awesome about ubuntu is the wobbly windows :P === max_ is now known as Visionaire [11:26] Mariorocks1: its cool for 50 sec..... [11:26] You find that in software center? [11:26] mndo: I guess there is some stupidly secretive file somewhere that defines additional file-associations. It's really annoying how chaotic that system is. [11:26] Mariorocks1 : you should look at http://www.panticz.de/MultiBootUSB [11:27] jonii yes. the bot gave the command to install it [11:27] , that's not just an ubuntu thing, you can get it on other distributions...it's a compiz thing [11:27] ok [11:27] Thanks [11:27] I'll try the usb flash drive boot of ubuntu. :) [11:28] its an 'show your friends, then disable it when they leave' thing. ;) [11:28] wiggly windows made my wife puke. ;() [11:29] anyone has a working xorg.conf for dual head intel integrated graphics (2600K cpu) [11:29] shd did like the zoom feature of compiz [11:32] /exit [11:32] Hello!

[11:32] (Input locales switch ok but the indicator is missing.) [11:33] Mrokii, yes it's kind of a mess.. besides using nautilus and mimeapps.list i don't any other way [11:34] also, for some reason menus and writing tends to stop responding, especially in firefox [11:34] That is, programs randomly become entirely unresponsive to some specific input. The last time this happened, 15 minutes ago, firefox become unresponsive to text manipulation(marking, writing, having cursor in it), but you could still switch between tabs etc [11:36] The earlier case I remember was how firefox became totally unresponsive to attempts to open menus from upper left menu bar thing === sysadamin|away is now known as sysadamin [11:39] ciao a tutti [11:39] hi. im creating a little gateway server with ubuntu at the moment. and i need a way to log every http request. is there something which doesnt require any a server like squid? cause squid is not an option due to some restrictions.

[12:37] http://ask.broathersoft.com/how-to-put-directx-9-on-ubuntu-88455.html [12:37] might work also, normally DirectX is backwards compatible, but some game developers fail to understand that and require specific versions === michael is now known as Guest12139 [12:44] hi, how can I configure unity2d? my gfx hardware is supported poorly and with this blur effect the main menu needs multiple seconds to open.

I'm writting from it which was started from USB-stick.. It seems to work slow. Hope It will be better if I install it on hard drive. Could it work faster from hard drive then from Flash or it it's gona be the same??? [12:47] pwuertz: Oh, okay... Sorry. [12:47] Besogon: It will be a lot faster [12:47] Besogon: most likely it'll be faster when you get to install proper gfx drivers [12:47] ok [12:47] Besogon: Live systems are never fast enough [12:47] pwuertz: What is the output of 'ps ax|egrep "metacity|compiz|unity"|grep -v grep'? [12:47] theadmin, ccsm is for configuring compiz, which is not used in unity2d [12:47] OK.

I tried ccsm and disabled blur.. or changing the icon sizes.. it had no effect on unity [12:52] pwuertz: chances are if you simply run 'metacity --replace' from Alt+F2 run dialog, blur will be deactivated [12:52] can any one help me in running my reliance netconnect+ work in ubuntu 10.10 [12:53] can any one help me in running my reliance netconnect+ work in ubuntu 10.10 [12:53] soreau, ok lets see [12:53] i want to simple way to login with ssh://user@domain to add password to this. for using in git [12:53] any one have a good way ?

[13:02] pwuertz: alternatively, try looking in gconf-editor to edit keys in /apps/metacity/* [13:02] soreau, ok, I didn't even think about using compiz on a machine without proper gfx support.. but thanks.. I'll try that then [13:03] I cant start Unity... [13:03] from what i gather in the next release (or updated to compiz) its somehow supposed to work eventually with non-3d acellerated hardware.

[13:21] mathi, vnc4server works well. And clipbaord sharing works by running vncconfig [13:21] *clipboard [13:22] warm: yea so you have to resolve the dependencies yourself. 'apt-cache pkg-name|grep dev' should help you find most of them [13:22] jtr__: the process is still running in the terminal!!!!! [13:22] pramod: which one ? [13:22] pramod: wvdial ?

[13:29] jpjacobs, yes it should [13:29] pramod: the way u connect using wvdial is run it in terminal and leave it, and then open the browser and work normally, if a web page doesn't open then you have a problem ! [13:29] onre: so without stopping other services? [13:29] jpjacobs, yes, reload should do that. [13:29] irc channel for programming on ubuntu?

Sorry.. [13:32] OK going to LIve CD. [13:33] gigenieks: just use fdisk [13:33] Heh,.

[13:37] if no one is logged into the console, you cannot connect [13:37] its desktop sharing [13:37] jtr__: device is not detected.. it says.. WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60.. Warning: section [Dialer Defaults] does not exist in wvdial.conf. [13:37] pramod: a virtual machine is just a piece of software that allows u to run an OS in just a window ( that means you could run ubuntu in a window in Windows7 os, or vice versa) [13:38] compdoc, well if I open a session and never logout, no problem? [13:38] sure [13:38] I don't understand why the following if-statement loops forever http://pastesite.com/27845 [13:38] pramod: change the first line written in wvdial.conf and replace it by [Dialer Defaults] [13:38] hey guys, I have a question...

[14:47] can anyone give me tips on troubleshooting apache2 virtual hosts [14:47] nor how to start it again [14:47] theadmin: k [14:47] Jezzz: That works for killing any GUI apps :D [14:47] Jezzz: And the launcher should auto-restart [14:48] so anyone noticed their soundcard hogging their batteries? :> [14:48] theadmin: perfect. ta! [14:48] Jezzz: No problem [14:49] ironhalik: compared to the cpu and gpu, i imagine a soundcard would scarcely make a dent. [14:49] sipior: it makes like a 30 min dent in my battery time :) If I turn off the sound, according to powerTOP, it goes to sleep, while turned on, it killes my battery quite a bit [14:50] theadmin, that used to have a shortcut like ctrl+shift+escape IIRC, is it possible to bring that back? (changed the X cursor into a skull) [14:50] ironhalik: well, don't do that, then. [14:50] sipior: I want to listen to music :> [14:50] while on battery [14:50] ironhalik: life is hard, sometimes. [14:50] M0TRN_th1: Heh, you can -- search for "Keyboard Shortcuts", run that app, assign that shortcut to xkill [14:50] oh, this is indeed a true OSS respons of you sipior [14:51] M0TRN_th1: I assign ctrl-shift-escape to this though: gnome-terminal -e 'htop' [14:51] ironhalik: you're welcome. [14:51] ;> [14:57] oh, now, suddenly, the audio works as it should! [14:57] theadmin, ok maybe ctrl+alt+delete then :) [14:57] very satisfying combo to type on an app that's misbehaving [14:57] M0TRN_th1: ctrl-alt-delete is set to something else by default [14:58] M0TRN_th1: That shutdown dialog I beleive [14:58] yeah I know logout, but I don't use that [15:00] is that netsplit still happening so I can unblock join/part msgs? [15:02] hey can anyone help me with EMESENE? [15:02] since that massive netsplit i can't get any access to my server in my own house, it errors on incorrect password, when it's correct it just asks for login again [15:03] arf.. I instaleld kubuntu-desktop and rebooted and it came up with shiny new login prompt and KDE splash screen but when I logged in it put unity back again [15:03] ryannathans: restart the IRC client [15:04] ryannathans: Level3 (a major internet transit provider) is currently having a lot of issues. This may well explain this. [15:04] M0TRN_th1: Before entering your password you may need to select the correct session [15:04] M0TRN_th1: the shiny new login has an option where u must choose the KDE plasma workspace :) [15:04] yeah that's right [15:04] jtr__, it works now [15:05] M0TRN_th1: there is a blue arrow pointing downwards, click it and see the options [15:05] jtr__: this is my actual system [15:05] M0TRN_th1: :) [15:05] i can't login to it [15:05] with mouse and keyboard [15:05] tried a reboot [15:05] jtr__, it works but its super slow to load [15:05] sshd refuses connections as soon as i get password correct, same as ftp [15:05] M0TRN_th1: good things take time, and this is the first startup, lot of default configs load [15:06] ryannathans: sorry dude, i can't get one bit of your problem, but let me try [15:06] jtr__, it's loaded now and it's looking nice [15:06] M0TRN_th1: enjoy kde :) and if u can, get involved : http://www.kde.org/community/getinvolved/ [15:07] i can't log in, i get errors when password is wrong, when i get password correct it jsut asks me to log in again, the box is hot and hdds are maxed I/O [15:07] sshd drops connection on login, same as ftp [15:07] smb just died [15:08] i would wonder if theres not some nasty hardware failure going on. [15:08] ryannathans, it probably can't look up your hostname or something [15:08] with xrdp, how do I increase the number of users that can login from 10 to 25? [15:08] ryannathans: it's like die hard's - fire sail but only on one computer :P [15:10] hey all, i'm thinking about switching my one desktop to Ubuntu but I am not a big fan of Unity... is there any way to use Gnome2 like came default in 10.10 with the newer revisions like 11.04, 11.10 or the upcoming 12.04 LTS? I just prefer Gnome2 [15:10] QuikNik, it's possible but the end result is quite sucky [15:10] I am just trying KDE instead it seems pretty good [15:11] M0TRN_th1: this is LOCAL montior/keyboard/mouse [15:11] QuikNik: id suggest giving unity a chance, and trying gnome-shell, be sure to check out the tweak guides at the webupd8 blog site and the lists of indicator applets and lenses and quicklists at askubuntu.com [15:11] ryannathans, did you try logging into text console with ctrl+alt+f1? [15:11] !gnome2 | QuikNik [15:11] QuikNik: The GNOME Foundation has ceased support for GNOME 2, and as such it is not in Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot). See !notunity for an alternative desktop experience. [15:12] M0TRN_th1: that's what i'm trying. === Lynx is now known as Guest37631 [15:12] QuikNik: you could always use some dock in unity if you wanted a nice panel at the bottom. [15:12] ryannathans, probably its memory is full with some runaway script or program [15:12] on reboot i can't [15:12] QuikNik, Just install 10.04, it's LTS and will be supported 'til 2013. [15:12] smb starts and dies hunderds of times [15:12] Is there a way to add dash home to cairo docck and remove side bar? [15:12] I haven't tried 11.10 yet, has unity changed much since 11.04? [15:12] !notunity [15:12] the system was only installed yesterday [15:12] Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [15:12] QuikNik: its improved a lot. and will get better in 12.xx [15:13] Sidewinder1, yeah or just say the heck with it and keep a 10.10 installation hjehe [15:13] or 10.04, yeah [15:13] ryannathans, sounds like its screwed up try booting in safe mode [15:13] i can't boot in anything [15:13] ubottu: when you say see !xyz what do you exactly mean? [15:13] jtr__: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:13] brb trying something else [15:13] How can i disable the bluetoothd serviced from startup ?

Trying to convert a Ubuntu 11.10 desktop install to a server install. Any tips on what packages I should remove to completely get rid of the desktop and everything related? [15:14] dr_willis: scary :D [15:14] gringochapin: why bother? just dont start up the login manager. :) [15:14] !text | gringochapin [15:14] gringochapin: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [15:15] The problem is that it's an old computer with a tiny harddrive, and would like to clean all that crap out of there. I would just do a reinstall with the server CD, but I don't have physical access to the machine. Just ssh. [15:15] hey can anyone help me with EMESENE? [15:16] i managed to pull a root shell in recoer [15:16] i managed to pull a root shell in recovery [15:16] ardithoxha, your doctor? [15:16] How can i disable the bluetoothd serviced from startup ? [15:16] night all.. [15:16] hahaha [15:16] dr_willis: night1 [15:16] Can someone tell me whether this is relatively safe or not? http://rarcrack.sourceforge.net/ [15:16] Emesene new version (2.1.1.9) cannot on TRAY?! [15:17] dr_willis: thank god u didnt say i am a bot too :P [15:17] healern, its open source so I'd say its relatively safe? but probably won't work unless the password is trivial [15:18] M0TRN_th1, so you would trust anything ending in sourceforge.net? Is this a assumption on your part or based on something more solid? [15:18] healern, a bit of both, projects have to be approved by SourceForge staff to be hosted there [15:19] is there a fix for videochat between empathy/pidgin or other and fb/msn users? [15:19] healern, also it comes with full source so if it was dodgy someone would probably have flagged it [15:19] Loptr: set BLUETOOTH_ENABLED=0 in /etc/default/bluetooth [15:19] healern: if it's open sauce and has a few downloads, must be good [15:19] M0TRN_th1, and all ending in "sourceforge.net" requires some level of approval by said staff? [15:20] healern, xxxxx.sourceforge.net is a project site of project xxxxx, which has to be approved to begin with by SF staff [15:20] llutz, thank you === matt_ is now known as Guest97956 [15:20] it will have a correspondign SF page on http://sourceforge.net/projects/rarcrack/ [15:21] hallo zusammen [15:22] kennt sich einer von euch mit thunderbird+lighnting aus?

[15:24] if i have to run i got to sa /usr/sbin/httpd -s ? [15:25] why do I get "Internal error" when I try to open Chrome .deb file from Firefox? [15:25] Hello, is it possible to remove the messaging icon from the system tray in Unity? [15:25] rabbi1, it's called /usr/sbin/apache2 and /usr/sbin/apachectl at least on my system [15:25] M0TRN_th1: try to install it from the command line perhaps. [15:26] MOTRN_th1: thank you [15:27] i couldn't find httpd but good with apache2ctl [15:28] dr_willis with what command? dpkg -i shows a lot of errors [15:28] #JOIN acer-liquid [15:29] dr_willis, never mind it worked after apt-get install libcurl3 [15:29] #JOIN #acer-liquid [15:29] How do I install it though? Linux makes it so very difficult to install anything outside of its prepackaged stuff [15:29] Hello, I'm relatively new to Linux. I was wondering if there is a method to take the instructions from this page: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1111768 ||| and make it a simple 'one-click' process? [15:29] My intentions are to make some sort of quick deployment for slave machines in the even I have to do a clean install of the OS. [15:29] Inkonsiderate: reading... [15:29] M0TRN_th1: i always use 'sudo gdebi foo.deb' [15:29] *event [15:30] healern, it says there on the site exactly how to do it?! [15:30] edbian: Thank you. [15:30] Inkonsiderate, that page could be out of date, it's 2 years old [15:30] not in a way that works M0TRN_th1 [15:30] you should go through step by step to make sure it works for you [15:30] The net takes the piss [15:30] healern, what bit doesn't work? [15:30] tensorpudding: It works, I used that page yesterday and it performs flawlessly. [15:30] Inkonsiderate, then you can write a script which replicates what the instructions do [15:31] tensorpudding: precisely, are there instructions on writing such scripts? [15:31] When I add a new ppa repository and there is no designation for oneiric packages within the ppa, when i run "sudo aptitude update" I get 404 errors for the repository. Is the workaround for this to change the "deb" line within the .list file to an older version of ubuntu (like "natty" instead of "oneiric") or is there a better way to handle this? [15:31] though getting to the link to download the file is hard to script [15:31] Emesene new version (2.1.1.9) cannot on TRAY?! [15:31] !abs | Inkonsiderate [15:31] Inkonsiderate: Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide, obtainable with ${package-manager} install abs-guide, is a quick and comprehensive guide to bash (command line) scripting in *nix systems. It is also viewable via web at http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ [15:31] tensorpudding: I could manually add location for the file though? [15:31] night all. === Nick_ is now known as Guest96615 [15:31] ubottu: Thank you veryy much. [15:31] Inkonsiderate: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:31] holy... [15:32] this looks like a total hackjob [15:32] installing an rpm? [15:32] changing sh to be bash? [15:32] Emesene new version (2.1.1.9) cannot on TRAY?! [15:32] tensorpudding: It's the only way that it works though. I tried doing the Alien conversion but it did not install correctly. [15:32] ardithoxha, then use the old version? [15:33] because their rpm is crap [15:33] tensorpudding: agreed. :) [15:33] M0TRN_thl: where? [15:33] sorry [15:33] Like the line "tar -xjf rarcrack-VERSION.tar.bz2", and yeah I tried replacing "VERSION" with the version number [15:33] someone have a link to a fix for my HD4780 not wanting to do dualscreens? [15:33] ardithoxha, dunno, check their website I don't use it [15:33] Inkonsiderate, do they make a tarball available? [15:33] M0TRN_th1, [15:33] Universalrefill, did you install the ATI drivers? [15:33] Inkonsiderate, it might be worth disassembling the rpm [15:33] Yes [15:33] tensorpudding: Unfortunately not, only .rpm [15:35] the error message says that i cant have a larger resolution than 1680x1680 when i try to enable dualscreensa [15:35] Inkonsiderate, which version? [15:35] tensorpudding: that would be beyond my scope. I'm an artist, my typing is limited to command line rendering. ;) I will persue the advanced bash script guides. Thanks for your help. [15:35] Inkonsiderate, of maya [15:35] can anyone with ubuntu 10.04 and forefox get http://websdr.sc-nm.si/ to work [15:35] tensorpudding: I'm running 2012 - the Linux slave is picks up perfectly with the help page I posted. so the hack-job works quite well. [15:36] i assume that maya only supports red hat or something [15:36] tensorpudding: I was only concerned with making it a mass-producable/faster process. [15:37] tensorpudding: They say they do : well Fedora/Red Hat and Ubuntu for their more recent releases. [15:37] it's likely your results can't be massproduced [15:37] you got any idea M0TRN? [15:37] Hello, is it possible to remove the messaging icon from the system tray in Unity? [15:37] the instructions will only work on debian-based systems at best [15:37] Universalrefill, try a lower resolution? [15:37] dunno, maybe 1680x1680 is hardcoded [15:38] I dropped ATI card when I had so many problems in Ubuntu (and linux in general), now I have nvidia [15:38] Yeah well i dont have money to buy a Nvidia card so ^^ [15:38] tensorpudding: Agreed, I'll make sure to keep my slaves on ubuntu. much less hassle than Fedora - the irony is that when trying to install the .rpm on Fedora - it wont work. ;D [15:38] listen how do i get rid of a line of letters, such as YOUTUBE in multiple files. say i ahve a bunch of mp3's that have YOUTUBE. how can i delete those on all my files for example [15:39] Inkonsiderate, in any case [15:39] OY1R, The page loads, but I don't hear a thing; there is motion on the "waterfall." [15:39] OY1R, you have to install some java sound plugin thing [15:39] tensorpudding: Sure, thanks for the help. [15:39] Sidewinder1, does not even show the waterfall [15:39] Inkonsiderate, you can make the script work if you distribute it with the .tgz file from maya with it [15:39] Is it just me or Ubuntu practically blocked most of nVidia cards? [15:39] fellayaboy: rename 's/YOUTUBE//' *.mp3 [15:40] MeanEYE: blocked? [15:40] Inkonsiderate, having some kind of logic to fetch from the autodesk site would be tricky [15:40] auronandace: Yeah, compiz wont start. Blacklisted the hell out of so many cards. [15:40] M0TRN_th1, what java thing ? [15:40] OY1R, Did you allow java and java-script, if you're running Noscript with Firefox? [15:40] MeanEYE: oh, my nvidia works fine [15:41] M0TRN_th1, Like the line "tar -xjf rarcrack-VERSION.tar.bz2", and yeah I tried replacing "VERSION" with the version number [15:41] ok llutz thanks brb [15:41] Would someone please help me figure out how to install this program, rarcrack? [15:41] auronandace: Perhaps... but this is 4th card that I had problems with [15:42] tensorpudding: True, but I'm a student - I don't have multiple licenses, I was only trying to leverage more render power by using only the satelite-nodes offered to me. I think I'll leave the file fetching manual. [15:42] healern, what error message do you get [15:42] that would probably be easier [15:42] MeanEYE: are they all optimus cards? [15:43] !shell | healern [15:43] healern: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[15:44] llutz using rename 's/YouTube//' *.mp3 did not work it didnt do nothing [15:45] the name of the tar file without .tar.bz2 [15:45] type ls! [15:45] i capitilized properly [15:45] but you need to learn to use basic command line healern [15:45] use that link and learn how to do basic stuff like ls, cd [15:45] fellayaboy: so you are not in the dir the mp3 are? [15:45] i am in the same dir [15:45] auronandace: Nope... one is 6150... other onr is something else... Still... XUbuntu [15:46] remember thise files have other words in them .. like dr_martin king YouTube.mp3 [15:46] M0TRN_th1, when it says "cd rarcrack-VERSION", it wants me to put terminal in the folder that is created when extracting, right? [15:46] I mean point it to [15:46] healern, yeah [15:47] healern, so you type "cd WHATEVER" [15:47] and then you type make [15:47] and then you should have a binary called rarcrack [15:47] MeanEYE: i know it doesn't help you but i'm using xubuntu myself and my nvidia card works fine (but i prefer not to use compiz) [15:48] fellayaboy: works here(tm) [15:48] M0TRN_th1, when I type "make" it says "rarcrack.h:25:48: fatal error: libxml/xmlmemory.h: No such file or directory [15:48] compilation terminated. [15:48] make: *** [all] Error 1" [15:48] hmmm [15:48] Anyway, to all Unity developers: Thanks for raping little hope that was left in you! [15:48] MeanEYE: classy. [15:48] lol [15:49] healern then type "sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev" [15:49] MeanEYE: thats really constructive. [15:49] and then when that's finishde try typing "make" again [15:49] k [15:49] MeanEYE, what is your complaint? [15:49] auronandace: Unity is playing up on me. Xubuntu works. [15:50] "playing up"? [15:50] MeanEYE, jsut install SlackWare 1.5 ;) [15:50] healern: No complaint, just wanted to let them know that they managed to loose my confidence. Although I really doubt they care. [15:50] MeanEYE: oh, i don't use unity, never will (or gnome 3) [15:50] auronandace: Yup... and that's how they look power users... but alas, this is off topic [15:50] MeanEYE, that sounds like a complaint, how did they "lose your confidence"? [15:51] healern: let it go. [15:51] "power-users" whining about DE/WM ...

[15:52] healern, anyway those are just warnings [15:52] it should have still put a binary there [15:52] try typing ./rarcrack [15:52] MeanEYE, Well it helps to know what is going on with unity for myself and my own decisions [15:52] take the UX discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic [15:52] fellayaboy: you have to use a perl-regex, rename has no "--ignore-case" switch [15:52] can anyone help me with apache2 config ? i need to enable allowOverrideAll [15:52] hmmm [15:52] ok [15:52] nailox, it's in 2 words [15:53] nailbox and you can put it in .htaccess in the directory you want to affect [15:53] M0TRN_th1, "RarCrack! 0.2 by David Zoltan Kedves (kedazo@gmail.com)", does that mean its installed? [15:53] llutz one more thing.. how can i tell it to backspace to the next letter in the file...say martin luther king .mp3 move it to martin lurther king.mp3 but for all files not just one [15:53] that's often better than changing the global configuration [15:53] healern: Well first of all, stupid decision to draw maximum of 3 window indicators. Windows sometimes don't show when you start application. Launcher is way too sensitive, I often click on menu instead of clicking back in chrome... [15:53] healern: Should I continue? [15:53] healern it means it's compiled [15:54] you can run it from there [15:54] or install it with "sudo make install" [15:54] MeanEYE, What are window indicators? [15:54] MeanEYE, we all know that Unity sucks and don't need to be told it again === zz_M4rc3l is now known as M4rc3l [15:55] healern: Little "arrows" on the left in launcher. If you have more than 3 windows open, launcher just shows 3 ... So I tend to loose windows because I don't really know how many there are. [15:55] MeanEYE, healern, take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [15:55] M0TRN_th1: Glad someone is agreeing with me. I thought am the only one. People keep talking like it's great. [15:55] tensorpudding: Am checking if it's possible to fix those... So it's not offtopic. This is ubuntu related directly. [15:56] MeanEYE: whinging and moaning is always off-topic. [15:56] I got frustated with new version of ubuntu and had to switch to windows 7 [15:56] it's not visually possible to have enough arrows on the launcher for every number of windows [15:56] it probably isn't configurable [15:57] MeanEYE, you can install some other desktop manager e.g. kde or xfce [15:57] now I am frustated with windows 7 and don't know what to switch to [15:57] I think KDE was ok [15:57] sipior: Am not whining... I am interested if those things can be fixed... if not, I'll leave this channel and ubuntu all together. [15:57] windows not showing up when you start application is a bug, you should file a bug report on it using apport [15:57] fellayaboy: try "rename 's/ \./\./' *.mp3" [15:57] MeanEYE, you can install KDE and try that instead, with "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" [15:57] MeanEYE: i don't care either way. [15:57] M0TRN_th1: I'll probably go with Xfce... Thanks. [15:57] ok llutz brb [15:58] healern, did you get that rarcrack to work [15:59] He's probably off cracking rars. [15:59] no [15:59] llutz it worked i believe i had to use it more than once....each time it just backspaced once i believe [15:59] healern, well it compiled [16:00] so now you need to run it according to the instructions on that page [16:00] is that how that command works..one at a time? [16:00] fellayaboy: yes, it only removes 1 space in front of a dot at a time [16:00] llutz thanks [16:01] Hi All!! [16:01] M0TRN_th1, when it said I need to be in root, to type "make install", does it mean \? Do I type CD to change to root then type "make install"? [16:01] jtr__, KDE works fairly well.. in fact much better than last time I tried it.. it's just a bit slow but nothing I can't live with [16:01] healern, it means you have to type sudo in front, like I told you: "sudo make install" [16:01] I am installing last ubuntu on a fakeraid 0, where should I install grub to be in the mbr? [16:01] llutz no other easy way to just automatically determine the space and backspace or does that require some bashful scripting [16:01] The installer suggests /dev/mapper [16:01] how can i choose which kernel i wanna boot in? I wanna go in grub. [16:02] M0TRN_th1: happy to hear that :) [16:02] acuarium: That sounds right. [16:02] fellayaboy: just a guess: rename 's/[ ]+\./\./' *.mp3 [16:02] ok brb llutz [16:02] Jordan_U: it failed :( [16:02] M0TRN_th1, It just gave me the same message as that other command gave me [16:03] healern, it doesn't matter try typing rarcrack [16:03] Jordan_U: "/dev/mapper is not a block device" [16:04] M0TRN_th1: i began on gnome on ubuntu 8.10, been a long time since, and i changed to KDE only 3 months ago, so practically, i never got to seethe buggy KDE, only came to know about it from fellow users :) [16:04] acuarium: I thought you meant it was /dev/mapper/something_else_here . [16:04] acuarium: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo blkid"? [16:04] llutz worked perfectly [16:04] jtr__, I used KDE back in 2000 and those days, but then I used gnome for 5 years or more [16:04] M0TRN_th1: but you should consider the fact that Xfce is the new thing to be ported with the coming ubuntu versions as the default desktop env - so i've heard [16:05] so what does {} + mean i know i use it when i use find at the end of an -exec [16:05] M0TRN_th1: omg, that dates back ! [16:05] JunK-Y, you can choose fromthe grub menu if it is installed kernels you refrence tap shift to see it at starting up if not. [16:05] jtr__, well xfce seems like a slimmed down version of gnome [16:05] Jordan_U: I am in a different PC (I am on the installer, no internet access yet) [16:05] but if ubuntu makes xfce the default at least it's a step up from unity [16:06] urlin2u: it looks like shift is ignored, cause im not able to go into grub at all [16:06] Jordan_U: how it should looks like? [16:06] M0TRN_th1: ya, and linus did not hate the new look of gnome3 , but hated the fact that the difference b/w gnome2 and gnome3 was so immense, that their users were astounded [16:06] JunK-Y, what is the release your running? [16:06] 10.04.3 [16:06] JunK-Y, try esc [16:06] jtr__, the best thing I can think of about Unity, is that now we've hit rock bottom so it can only get better :D [16:07] M0TRN_th1: true :) [16:07] 17:06 M0TRN_th1: ya, and linus did not hate the new look of gnome3 , but hated the fact that the difference b/w gnome2 and gnome3 was so immense, that their users were astounded << agreed, it should have been an seperate project [16:07] urlin2u: let me try that [16:07] jtr__: M0TRN_th1: this was off-topic an hour ago, and is still off-topic. Feel free to continue in #ubuntu-offtopic. [16:07] JapyDooge: actually , the gnome3 team parted ways with canonical long time ago ( atleast a few months ago) [16:08] M0TRN_th1, ok if it is installed, I don't know how to use it, and it seems like it is not made for .exe self executing archives as well [16:08] acuarium: Something like "/dev/mapper/isw_deebyaid_RaidMatrix_Linux" is what you want to install grub's boot sector to. blkid should give you a device like "/dev/mapper/isw_deebyaid_RaidMatrix_Linuxp1" as a partition containing an ext4 filesystem. Remove the "p1" from the end to get the drive rather than the partition and that is where grub should be installed. [16:08] jtr__: yea, but imo it was a mistake to call it gnome 3 [16:08] I added a rule to my iptables how do I restart it? [16:08] healern you just type what it said on that souorceforge page [16:08] Jordan_U: got it, I will try [16:08] just type rarcrack whatever-file.rar [16:08] and watch it waste CPU cycles for a couple years [16:09] anyone using Logitech G700 in 11.10? [16:09] Ciao [16:09] JapyDooge: true [16:09] jtr__: maybe they should have forked [16:09] and healern .. if it's a self extracting exe chances are it's not a RAR to begin with [16:09] i liked gnome 2.x [16:09] now i'm using fluxbox :D [16:10] healern, most of that kind of files don't contain the pr0n they purport to but just a trojan to infect your (windows) pc and a lot of random bytes and a fake "password prompt" program that just installs all sorts of virusses and trojans [16:10] M0TRN_th1: u should try the "plasmacon" widget [16:10] JapyDooge: i'll lookup fluxbox :) [16:10] jtr__, I'll try it on my other PC with accelerated graphics [16:10] Anyone experience with Parallels (on OS-X) running Ubuntu? I'm having problems copying files form the virtual machine to the 'Shared Folders' ..folder. [16:10] M0TRN_th1, it is suppose to be a anime, it says AVI when I open it, I just don't have the password to extract. [16:10] Jordan_U: it didn't fail! Thanks! I hope it boots now [16:11] M0TRN_th1: its just a widget that allows u to have terminal window ( no tab support though) [16:11] healern, same goes for that. if it is EXE and asks for a password chances are that it will just be a trojan/malware installer [16:12] Jordan_U: it worked!! Many thanks!! [16:12] M0TRN_th1 Why would it bother with a password if it was just meant to infect anyway? And I have downloaded other animes this way that were just fine, and anyway this is linux, a .exe will have a hell of a time infecting linux, no? [16:13] fellayaboy: with find "{}" represents the found filename, the rename ... "[ ]+" represents "one or more spaces". so it is very different [16:13] is there a logitech SetPoint fork for linux to configure mice? or anything remotely close to it.. [16:13] healern, it will ask for the password to trick you into thinking that it is what it says it is. but really no password will work and it will just re-instsall the malware everytime you run it.. [16:14] healern, of course it could be that there is a real anime inside as well but it's hard to know if there is or not since it's impossible to distinguish random bytes from encrypted data [16:14] A exe can't install maleware on linux though, right? [16:14] healern, only if you run it under wine [16:14] fellayaboy: rename uses regular expressions, which are mighty but very hard to learn. look here http://www.regular-expressions.info/tutorial.html for some info [16:14] Well Id like to try to bash at it [16:14] healern then type rarcrack FILENAME [16:14] maybe it will work and maybe it won't [16:14] M0TRN_th1, can a infection in wine, escape the confines of wine? === max is now known as Visionaire [16:15] llutz ooh ok ok [16:15] healern, yeah it can [16:15] but it is not super likely [16:15] when i looked that the man page i didnt see nothing that says that..well at least for find i didnt llutz [16:15] healern also if you remove wine it wont be able to continue [16:15] healern, rootkits will run in any platform if you have a funky p2p your stupid to continue. [16:15] urlin2u: esc doesnt work neither. i always see ubuntu with the 3 red dots. [16:15] healern, install Windows inside a virtual machine (VirtualBox) and then run that crap in there instead [16:16] thanks llutz [16:16] fellayaboy: "man rename" [16:16] then if it infects it you can just delete the virtual machine or restore from a snapshot you took before you ran it.. [16:16] austeregrim, .exe would extract, even before wine, which I just installed today in a effort to find some program to bash at this. [16:16] llutz [16:16] ok [16:16] fellayaboy: but find also can use regexp. have fun to learn, long dark winter evenings are coming ... [16:16] healern, just buy the anime or download it from usenet? [16:17] llutz lol [16:17] JunK-Y, have you changed the grub timeout? [16:17] hmm regexp regular expression...first time i heard the term ..i only see it from the link u gave me and the google search i made when u told me to look at perl regexp [16:18] how do we add/remove programs to/from a startup script? where is the startup script located? [16:18] urlin2u: no, since im not even able to boot [16:18] JunK-Y, so you don't boot to the OS at all? [16:19] llutz yeah find has a bunch of mumble jumble find -type f -name "whatever" (/. /; blah balhb alh idk [16:19] M0TRN_th1, well some of the episodes of some animes are hell to find, especially the better quality ones, link to that which you call usernet pleasE? [16:19] healern, it's called *usenet* and I'm not about to explain it to you, you'll have to research it for yourself [16:19] urlin2u: nope, im trying to go in grub to be able to boot in single mode or to boot with a different kernel [16:19] please help me setting up a virtual interface in ubuntu desktop 11.10 [16:19] regular expressions are what exactly to edit text [16:19] healern: usenet is a torrent finder site [16:19] jtr__, !? [16:19] i cant seem to assign ip addres for eth0:1 [16:19] anyone knows the way to fix heating-up problem in Ubuntu 11.04 , plz help [16:20] M0TRN_th1: is it not ? [16:20] !piracy [16:20] piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music, and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o [16:20] jtr__, heck no [16:20] hey I know it isnt a ubuntu question but I have minGW(gcc) on XP and compile the source but when I run it the result disepear very quiqly [16:20] M0TRN_th1: ubottu gets angry so easily :P :P [16:20] jtr__, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet [16:20] Any one familiar whit the program docky ?? [16:20] fellayaboy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression [16:20] jtr__, does it mention "torrent finder site" in there? if you think Usenet is a torrent finder site, or even pirate site, or even a site, think again [16:20] llutz nevermind i found it on that site [16:21] JunK-Y, so what is it you want a bootable OS I assume? [16:21] llutz thanks [16:21] M0TRN_th1: i confused it with usenext, my bad [16:21] Hello! [16:21] milen8204, pretty much whats up. [16:21] Isn't the chat on #ubuntu-jp recorded now? [16:21] urlin2u: ya, it was booting fine until i did an apt-get upgrade :( [16:21] M0TRN_th1: turns out usenext is also something different [16:22] urlin2u, So if you have already have installed wine, and run a .exe that may or may not be suspicious, how do you confirm whether any damage has been done? And if so, mitigate said damage? [16:22] jtr__, usenet existed hundreds of years before even torrents were thought of [16:22] M0TRN_th1: ok, i'll look it up [16:22] JunK-Y, are you dual booting and is the ubuntu a wubi? [16:22] no dual boot, no wubi, regular stand-alone install [16:23] healern, never ran wine I wold not know. [16:23] would* [16:24] M0TRN_th1, So if you have already have installed wine, and run a .exe that may or may not be suspicious, how do you confirm whether any damage has been done? And if so, mitigate said damage? [16:24] JunK-Y, boot a live cd and run this script and pastebin the whole results.txt this wil lshow more info that should get us to an answer. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ [16:24] acuarium: You're welcome :) [16:25] healern, that's a nearly impossible task, which is why you should never do that in the first place [16:25] healern, of course a start would be to remove your entire .wine directory but it's no guarantee as wine programs can access the entire file system (with your user account) [16:26] Does anyone know of a mp3 player/organizer that will copy specified mp3 files to a usb thumbdrive without too much hassle? Currently, I'm copying the files through Nautilus then I run 'fatsort' to sort the fat tables. [16:26] healern, there are various av scanners for linux but if you have not ran your user password your probably safe, that is the key here root access generally. [16:26] M0TRN_th1: can u tell me a software that uses usenet ? [16:26] the thumbdrive is for playing in the car [16:26] austeregrim, if I remove wine, would that stop it, then if I were to reinstall wine, would any infection within still be gone? Or could some residue sit around waiting for wine to come back? [16:26] jtr__, hellanzb? [16:26] M0TRN_th1: i mean through which i can get connected to the 'usenet' [16:26] urlin2u, did you try to work whit it on new gnome-shell [16:27] when im trying to boot the 11.04 ubuntu install cd, im getting unable to find a medium containing a live file system. theres no problem with a regular sata drive, but not with the SSD drive, any ideas why& [16:27] jtr__: slrn, knode and much more [16:27] milen8204, what I have posted no questions? [16:27] llutz: for kde? [16:27] llutz: knode? [16:27] urlin2u, Well finding a AV for linux seems a harder task then finding a PW cracker for it [16:27] jtr__: its a kde/qt app [16:28] llutz: u talking about knode right ? [16:28] jtr__, you need access to a usenet server, sometimes your ISP will provide one but if you want access to the binary groups you most likely need a paid one [16:28] urlin2u, I said Any one familiar whit the program docky ?? you said milen8204, pretty much whats up. then I asked urlin2u, did you try to work whit it on new gnome-shell [16:28] urlin2u, All sorts of ones I have tried have had issues of one kind or another, and the one I did find that works has now expired [16:28] healern, if you have to crack the password and you can't confirm its legitimacy your acting stupid. [16:28] jtr__: or is it merged ito kmail now? idk. there are plenty nntp-clients [16:29] MOTRN_th1 : u just made usenet sad :( , but nevertheless i wanna try [16:29] !clamav [16:29] jtr__, why are you sad? [16:29] MOTRN_th1 : the charged idea i hate [16:29] !info clamav [16:29] clamav (source: clamav): anti-virus utility for Unix - command-line interface. In component main, is optional. Version 0.97.3+dfsg-1ubuntu0.11.10 (oneiric), package size 124 kB, installed size 604 kB [16:29] i have an error when i start tor , it is not starting after i installed it. can anybody take a look ? [16:29] milen8204, sorry lol no I doubt the gnome shell is the place for it the bottom, top, right and left parts of the screen are already moving. [16:30] plz help me to configure putty n firefox as to open facebook [16:30] M0TRN_th1: llutz: nntp clients , is that what you call them? [16:30] facebook is blocked here [16:30] jtr__, yes but if you want to download binary files look into nzb [16:30] milen8204, the top is stationary but the screen changes to access stuff in gnome 3. [16:30] jtr__: if we talk about usenet and not things like useneXt, yes [16:30] llutz: ok [16:31] ?? [16:31] Bonjour [16:31] ney idea guys? [16:31] M0TRN_th1: apt-get nzb ? [16:31] jtr__, no google it [16:31] M0TRN_th1: ok [16:31] urlin2u, I cant active intelligent hide expanded effect and more options in gnome 3 [16:31] the software I use for downloading it is called hellanzb but it's not very intuitive if you're a beginner [16:32] jtr__, hellanzb is in ubuntu so you can apt-get install that [16:32] but you still need a server and a place to get nzb files, google for that [16:33] M0TRN_th1: ok, i'll do that i don't know how i will tackle the 'not-very-intuitive' part though [16:34] jtr__, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=169749 [16:34] milen8204, not sure what you mean I would look on the web, gnome 3 can be tweaked but you would have to go into the controlling files it is not a click and fix sort of situation as far as I know, your not being real specific here as well. [16:35] M0TRN_th1: i just did an apt-get install [16:35] M0TRN_th1: do i still need to do that / [16:35] urlin2u, the point is that I can't travel back in time, so if you might help me with my current situation rather then criticize me for what I should have done differently, that would be appreciated [16:35] M? [16:35] urlin2u, How I cant set up the gnome panel and Docky in gnome3 ? [16:35] llutz was 's/youtube//' an awk comand/expression? [16:36] jtr__, you need to research the rest by yourself [16:36] fellayaboy: perl/sed-syntax [16:36] i see llutz [16:36] M0TRN_th1: ok [16:36] jtr__, don't want to get too close to the channel rule edges [16:36] milen8204, I don't think it is worth it to be honest. [16:38] M0TRN_th1: no problemo, i'll query you if i need help on that :), thanks for introducing me to the concept anyway :) [16:38] healern, I was just staing the obvious don't take it personally, we are not here to fix things you have done by not thinking through what your doing, if you acted without thinking then realize that. [16:39] healern, chances are that you're fine if you just delete the .wine directory [16:39] most Windows malware won't be Linux-aware [16:39] how to make screenshots with Lubuntu? [16:39] M0TRN_th1, if there was said malware, could it hang around waiting for wine to come back? [16:40] it would be stored inside .wine [16:40] so if you open aterminal and type "rm -rf .wine" it should be gone for good [16:40] and then you can use wine without worrying [16:41] Hello folks, newbie here. I have been a windows user for a while now, and I´ve been feeling the Ubuntu itch again. I want to install it as dualboot again, but I hate how GRUB replaces my windows MBR. Is it possible to install ubuntu, then re-install the WinMBR? [16:42] SJCommander, if you do that you won't be able to boot Ubuntu [16:42] Shit. I suspected as much. === deem is now known as Bello [16:42] M0TRN_th1, But there is a theoretical possibility of a infection coming from wine to general linux, even if I didn't use sudo? [16:42] SJCommander: just let ubuntu write grub into partition, not mbr [16:42] SJCommander: that's silly, grub is superior to ntloadr. [16:43] SJCommander: if you wanted to have ntloadr do it, then don't install ubuntu to a real partition [16:43] healern, theoretical but it's small [16:43] I wouldn't worry about it unless you work for NSA or something [16:43] Gnea: Depends on who you´re asking, haha. I know Windows guys that would stand by ntloadr forever :-P [16:43] healern: linux itself wouldn't become infected, it would just pass the virus off to any other connected wintendo systems [16:43] M0TRN_th1, Does that same small risk exist with my browser, a infection spreading from a random bad webpage to linux itself? [16:43] SJCommander: yes, well, when all they care about is money... ;) [16:44] healern, yes [16:44] or even just limited to the browser [16:44] That is something different then I was told before, ok [16:44] So, is the ¨install GRUB to partition¨ available during the install? I cant recall seeing it before. [16:44] healern, again the chances are very small for that to happen when you run linux [16:44] SJCommander: should be, if you choose the advanced route [16:44] Gnea, but if I have a dual boot set up, could it cross over? [16:45] healern: how would it? [16:45] I don't know, that is why I ask [16:45] healern, don't just believe what you hear including here investigate using a correct inquiry method. [16:45] Gnea, by exploiting a vulnerability in the browser [16:46] M0TRN_th1: a vulnerability that will automagically mount all ntfs partitions? [16:46] urlin2u, I take what I hear with a grain of salt, and I am not sure what "correct inquiry methods" you mean [16:46] Gnea, who said anything about ntfs partitions, and that's pretty much beside the point because the malware could be written specifically for Linux and search for mounted file systems and exploits to get root access etc. [16:47] Gnea, or simply connect to a botnet and flag itself as an infected linux box at which point the owner could take action [16:47] healern, if you were a scientist it would be peer reviewed data from research you can use the same methid here. [16:47] method* [16:48] healern, the bottom line is that any usable system that's connected to any public network and being used to interact with said network (the internet) will always be at some risk of getting compromised [16:48] M0TRN_th1: that's assuming that the ntfs filesystem is mounted in the first place - since when is root access possible from the script? got a url showing a proof of concept code? [16:48] nothing you do can prevent that [16:48] Gnea, an exploit doesn't have to be public to work [16:49] many exploits are only made public when somebody discovers that the baddies are using them [16:49] M0TRN_th1: depending on your definition of 'public' [16:49] urlin2u, Scientists have mutual understanding of the subject and laboratory environments to test things out, I am a linux newbie and I could muck around with files for a long awhile and not learn much of anything, they are hardly comparable === sentinel is now known as Guest78681 [16:49] healern, just be aware that whatever OS or software you use to surf the net you are always at some risk of getting hacked [16:50] And anyway, this chat is as close to "peer review" as I can think to get [16:50] but when you use Linux your risk is less than when you use Windows [16:50] healern, hehe so who is running half the servers on the web and all of them at google the opensuse OS at the large hadron collider? === JEEBcz is now known as JEEB [16:50] M0TRN_th1: Why is that? [16:50] conntrack, because most malware is windows specific, because there are more windows users by a factor of over 10 [16:51] M0TRN_th1: Why is it that whatever OS or software you use there is always a risk of being hacked? [16:51] healern, M0TRN_th1: if you don't allow a regular user to mount your window filesystem, then you can pretty much guarantee that any ntfs partition is not going to become infected [16:51] urlin2u, I only half understood that, and the half I did barely helped me understand it as a complete thought === root__ is now known as whiskey24 [16:51] Most people think of security as an on or off thing. It's much more granular than that. There is a cost associated with securing a system. The more secure you make it, the greater the cost. At some point, the cost of securing it further is more expensive than the damage that could be caused by it getting compromised. There is no magic bullet. [16:51] conntrack, because it could have a vulnerability in some of its networking code that is unknown to you and the people responsible for releasing updates, but that some hackers have discovered [16:52] healern, For further study, you may wish to have a look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510812 If you haven't already. It's a little dated but still relevant. === jack is now known as Guest26601 [16:52] M0TRN_th1: I'm not sure that is the answer I. But it is expected [16:53] healern, I'm not surprised hehe just be careful don't mess with stuff that is well known to possibly be a problem like p2p stuff that needs a password to crack it.

[17:00] i really dont know whats wrong. i did everything it need to setup virtual interface [17:01] but the eth0:1 still disconnected [17:01] deej1976 I know it isn't a ubuntu question but I have mingw in win xp I can compile C program but I can't see the result disepear very fast [17:01] when ./program [17:02] looks like no answer here [17:03] searching, ./program | less ? [17:03] d33ck: if you want an answer, give us more data. [17:03] if I have a printf something [17:03] okay another problem, does anyone here has any successful experience with clonezilla server combined with ubuntu desktom oneiric? [17:03] searching: I've been using Unix/Linux for 13 years I have know idea.

How can I do that? [17:05] a simple C program printf hello [17:05] compile and run but very fast [17:05] sipior: okay, my bad. i wanted to use clonezilla server on ubuntu desktop. i need to setup two ip address on single ethernet interface. i have removed the network-manager network-manager-gnome, i have edited interfaces file to list my eth0 and eth0:1 an ip address each on completely different c class subnet. [17:06] ok thanks [17:06] but when i execute /etc/init.d/networking restart [17:06] the eth0:1 still not initiated. thus it has no address [17:06] but when i call ifconfig eth0:1 its state is up [17:07] AaronDCampbell: cp $( there is some info, will someone come to the rescue? [17:08] d33ck: could you pastebin the output of ifconfig for the two interfaces? [17:09] sipior: hang on please [17:09] llutz: cp $(christmassongs) christmas-songs/ give me christmassongs: command not found [17:09] AaronDCampbell: cp $( AaronDCampbell: you missed the "<" [17:09] Ahhh, missed the < [17:09] d33ck: might as well throw in /etc/network/interfaces, while you're at it. [17:09] Well, it seems to freak out because the file names have spaces [17:09] xmas is coming. .. [17:10] hi [17:10] llutz: Is there a way to make it handle path/filenames with spaces? [17:11] which is better vi or emacs [17:11] vi [17:11] fellayaboy: no holy wars here, please. [17:11] AaronDCampbell: uuh, i don't know off hand [17:11] sipior lol ok [17:12] sipior i was literally trying to find out the difference but i dont wanna flood this chat with unrelated stuff [17:12] fellayaboy: best way to do that is simply to try both of them for yourself. [17:12] sipior yes sir [17:13] hey all. got an ubuntu server motd problem - when i login, i get two copied of /var/run/motd printed out to my terminal. could anyone advise what might be causing this? [17:13] copies even [17:14] fellayaboy: give each of them a month, see which one you like. lots of blogs with tricks/tips about both editors; read all you can. [17:14] Can someone invite me to #openbox? [17:14] okay [17:15] fellayaboy, most people like either vi(m) or emacs, I like emacs and I think it is far better but YMMV [17:15] milk: /etc/motd is auto-generated. start poking around in /etc/update-motd.d/ [17:15] AaronDCampbell: "sed -i 's/^\(.*\)$/\"\1\"/' yourfilewithpathes" to quote the filenames should work (not sure) [17:15] M8TRN_th1 no holy warring [17:16] healern, "its not as easy as dropping a few lines of code either, linux has a password system that prevents such from being easy" -> unless you have super-strict custom selinux or so active, that's not true [17:16] healern, the next time you su/sudo, it can grab your password - *BOOM* [17:16] Do you guys agree with this? [17:16] healern, it is certainly possible [17:17] but then again how likely [17:17] M8TRN_th1 im new i know some basic commands in vi like entering insert and command write close and stuff like that. i dont know how deep it goes and im just skimming thru new open land here [17:17] do you always wear safety shoes on the odd chance that a truck might drive over your feet? [17:17] M0TRN_th1, well if it is easy, then won't it become pretty likely if linux gains any popularity at all? [17:18] healern, it will become more likely [17:18] look at the number of infected windows machines [17:18] most Linux users get by just fine without an antivirus installed, try that on windows, after a couple of weeks you're bound to have several infections [17:19] but there is a different reason as well, apart from the target base being smalelr on Linux and therefore it is a higher profit market to write malware for: Linux users are generally more clued up technically [17:19] that might change if Linux becomes very popular [17:19] Hello all how can I change my fstab file trouht guest ? [17:19] so uh... I have rhythmbox running... yet I don't see it ANYWHERE in gnome shell. I see its in the notification area though. how do I maximize it? [17:20] hello, I'm trying to use Remote Desktop Viewer to access my machine at home, but how do I configure it so I don't have to give it permission from the other computer from the session to start? Is there any configuration files with variables for that? [17:20] : [17:20] milenchoo - unless you can sudo from guest to root (not possible unless you specifically set it up that way).... no [17:20] nuborn, that's done on the client machine you're connecting to. Is it an Ubuntu system? [17:20] sipior: http://pastebin.com/5bwwd0jx [17:20] <__name__> Hello. [17:21] Roasted: yes, both run Ubuntu. I currently have ssh access to the other machine. [17:21] Does anyone know if I can mount a different drive when in openbox any other way than starting up nautilus? [17:21] <__name__> I uninstalled aptd and zeitgeist and the unity launcher stopped working, reinstalled the two and it still does not work. [17:21] M0TRN_th1: "Linux users are generally more clued up technically" good joke, ymmd [17:21] nuborn, that's done on the client system you're connecting to then. You can see password settings in the remote desktop settings of tha system. [17:21] nuborn, that will allow your main system to conncet without password, as long as you set those preferences correctly. [17:22] d33ck: so, "Running /etc/init.d/networking restart is deprecated because it may not enable again some interfaces" [17:22] llutz, you know the ones that complain about the DE changes "it's to hard" :D [17:22] d33ck: can you start the virtual interface on the command line? [17:22] urlin2u: oh our "power users"... [17:22] sipior: using ifup? [17:23] <__name__> Also, why is powertop reporting high wattage of eth0 even if it [17:23] <__name__> is not connected? [17:23] d33ck: no, using ip/ifconfig [17:23] hai [17:23] #winehq [17:23] help me [17:24] Hello. Anyone knows about colinux? [17:24] where are rhythmbox settings stored? [17:24] phper___: Not supported here [17:24] mbuh asss [17:24] sipior: hmm...how to do that using ifconfig? [17:24] السلام عليكم [17:25] Roasted: yes, I tried to configure vnc on the remote machine, but I couldn't find the exact settings for disabling the "permission prompt" on the remote machine. I can try disabling password. although I already disabled authentication. [17:25] d33ck: should be "ifconfig eth0:0
netmask ..." [17:25] total noob question here..say i wanted to make a stupid .exe program for windows that would just find and delete or rename or whatever using programs like find, rename, shred, wipe, etc is it possible? do most programs in windows use these or do they use a bigger program like perl, c++ [17:25] help needed with notifications in gnome 3. -> http://imagebin.org/182992 [17:25] sipior: hold on, letme try [17:26] phper___, you will find out if you actually ask a question. [17:26] i know mostly they use bigger ones like c++ but can they use these bash programs [17:26] is their a way to export them and make it run on a .exe [17:27] phper___, ah I see not supported oh well. [17:27] like a bash script that does whatever...i want to convert that to .exe format its possible right [17:27] well, I am wondering if colinux/xming/pulseaudio can crash Windows, or they are just another userspace Window applications. [17:27] fellayaboy: if i understand what you're asking correctly, have a look at Cygwin. that's not exactly on-topic here, however. [17:27] sipior: http://pastebin.com/f5v1i5jD just that [17:28] M0TRN_th1, only when it is small, if linux became widely popular then it could have a less educated userbase, rather then more, being more complicated to use then windows [17:28] fellayaboy, google batch files [17:28] no no not using cygwin [17:28] healern, that's what I said [17:28] ok Psychobudgie [17:28] d33ck: okay, and does the interface now show as running in "ifconfig -a"? [17:28] the good old .bat files... [17:29] or nowdays the .cmd files [17:29] sipior : http://pastebin.com/2jeb5ZWz it is in ifconfig -a now. is it working now. [17:29] ok thanks [17:29] let me try setup the clonezilla server now [17:30] M0TRN_th1, So how can I shore up linuxs main line of defense, its PW system? [17:30] d33ck: yep, have fun [17:30] thanks alot sipior [17:30] Psychobudgie, thanks that about sums it up [17:31] oh, boy, I think I will stop using portable Ubuntu. [17:31] healern, it's uid/gid system prevents one user from using the privileges of another, it doesn't do anything to stop malware from using *your* user account to do bad stuff from [17:31] there are several layers of security [17:31] hi! question i'm not proud of it, but how can i upgrade just one specific package on Ubuntu server? I have 8.10 which came with not very good version of parted and now i just need to upgrade parted from 1.71 to newer one which will work on that server... any help is apreciated [17:31] if you actually download a program and run it you have basically given it access to your user account. [17:32] but other ways for code to run as your user id is to exploit bugs in web browsers or other software that interacts with untrusted 3rd party sites [17:32] then once the bad guys have code running as *your* user ID they can search for privilege escalation exploits to become root without knowing the password [17:33] or log *your* user key strokes until you type the root password [17:33] once they get root they can modify any part of your system including the kernel [17:33] wouldn't they need root access to log keystrokes in the first place? [17:33] so then they can install backdoors and malware that is almost impossible to detect and remove [17:33] !notunity [17:33] Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [17:34] Good evening all [17:34] healern, not to log *your* keystrokes, they can change your environment to run "wrapper" applications instead of the real ones that will log the keystrokes at the user level [17:35] M0TRN_th1, won't it need password access to change my environment and run any application I did not approve? [17:35] healern, if you run it in the first place it has full access to your account [17:35] it can do anything you can do without typing a password [17:36] hi i installed the current kubuntu on my notebook and i got second screen plugged in. Now if i drag a program, e.g. dolphin to the second screen the program is in the background?! Does anybody got a suggestion on it? [17:36] like change your desktop background or install a script that runs every time you log in [17:36] M0TRN_th1, this is near a direct contradiction from what I have been told by others. From what my understanding is that password system is to prevent anything from installing without permission, and almost nothing to do with multiple users [17:36] it can install to your own account [17:37] a program you run under your account will have your user id and group id, and it can access anything that your user account can access [17:37] that is, read most of the files on the system and write all the ones in your home directory and below [17:37] !notunity [17:37] hi everyone [17:38] healern, or make an outgoing tcp connection to a botnet and accept commands from a remote hacker [17:38] which will be run as if you had typed them in a terminal [17:38] How can I make 11 look like 10? [17:38] M0TRN_th1, wcan you all take this topic to #ubuntu -offtopic [17:38] I can't create launchers [17:38] Or adjust the themes :( [17:38] Can't move max / min buttons to right :( [17:38] M0TRN_th1, if i typed it into a terminal, I would need to clear it with sudo and a password. [17:39] healern, if you want to continue it's in #ubuntu-offtopic per urlin2u [17:39] M0TRN_th1, So is there a way I can get confirmation of what your telling me here? And if it is right, how do I fix this? [17:39] I am directly asking about ubuntu, offtopics is for stuff that has nothing to do with ubuntu [17:40] healern, there are lots and lots of commands you can execute without root privileges. but for more details let's go to #ubuntu-offtopic ok? [17:40] healern, it is a quieter channel you will actually get stuff done faster.:D [17:41] Why there? That would be the wrong channel, and I want other people to hear the conversation so that if there is disagreement or agreement with what i am told, I might hear that too [17:41] Any links I can read about making 11 look like 10? [17:41] hi [17:41] does any1 no how to fix dual boot for windows 7 [17:41] healern: #ubuntu-offtopic is a better channel to discuss ubuntu related issues which are not an immediate support issue [17:42] i keep gettin error oxc0000225 [17:42] I was told, one of the mechanisms for making sure you get told something correct or not is the feedback of others in the channel. While that isn't exactly a assurance, every bit helps [17:42] healern, there are almost as many people in there :) [17:42] Hi guys! I'm using 11.10. I just added my Google account via the "me menu" and specified to use this for among other things chatting. But it wasn't automatically added to Empathy. Is that as expected? [17:42] People talking about random shit, rather then ubuntu, people not interested in thinking about ubuntu [17:42] osse: pretty much... sadly [17:42] healern: mind your attitude and language, please === SpitfireWP_ is now known as SpitfireWP [17:43] Myrtti, I didn't see any problem with either, so please be more specific [17:43] healern: this is a help channel. going on and on pointlessly to assuage your security jitters is not fair to the other users of this channel. quit hogging the conversation, in other words. [17:44] healern, like I said I'll be happy to answer your questions in there but please be polite to the channel ops [17:44] M0TRN_th1: I'd prefer being polite to everyone [17:44] healern, Did you read/fully understand the link I gave you earlier: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510812 ?? It's written by one of the Mods/Administrator of Ubuntu forums [17:46] Guess he's reading, now. :-) [17:46] Sidewinder1, your link seems to contradict M0TRN_th1 [17:47] Myrtti, ok, thanks. Do you know why? I would think that would be useful [17:47] Not my link; it's bodhi-zazen's.. [17:47] how can i highlight text in terminal without my mouse [17:47] Is it possible to change a password without prompting (ie, for scripting)? I want to use apg to set a random password. [17:48] Although, I guess I did supply it.. [17:48] osse: I haven't the faintest idea :-( [17:49] savid: easier just to disable the login, surely? [17:49] healern, Please study it and the links contained therein; after all, your nick is he'llearn. :-) [17:50] heal, not he'll [17:50] hi [17:50] how do I do to add more workspaces? [17:50] test [17:50] mfilipe, in what relese and and desktop? [17:50] release* [17:50] ubuntu-11.10 [17:50] sidewinder, participate in offtopic then please [17:51] mfilipe, what DESKTOP? [17:51] :D [17:51] I don't want it just to be m0t that i am talking to about this [17:51] <__name__> No one got any idea what could prevent the unity launcher from searching things? [17:51] helloo all [17:52] urlin2u, sorry, I didn't understand your question? do you want know what are my pc desktop? thinkpad t410s [17:53] Is there a way to change a password from commandline without prompting? [17:53] savid: redirect standard input. [17:53] mfilipe: More like: I'm running 11.04 with Unity desktop ... or: I'm running 11.10 with gnome-shell desktop [17:53] mfilipe, you running unity gnome 3 xubuntu kubuntu lxde openbox....etc? [17:54] urlin2u, genii-around: unity [17:54] mfilipe, compizconfig manager will allow you to set more workspaces. [17:54] * wh1zz0 ... Does anyone know if it is possible to use no -ip instead of my external IP to run my own server on my ubuntu box? I ask this because even though I've installed apache I can see my files locally but when people visit my external IP they don't see my website.. So is there a way I can achieve this using No-IP service? [17:54] sipior, tried that. [17:55] echo "foo" | passwd doesn't work [17:55] how do I boot without a display manager? adding text after kernel line in grub shows text messages but still starts lightdm [17:55] somasin: That's odd, that normally works [17:56] is their a way to highlight text in terminal without the mouse? [17:57] wh1zz0: it shoudl be possible . You can access your computer as a folder if you can run a ftp server. I did the same [17:58] wh1zz0 forward port 80 on your router to the LAN ip you have apache running on [17:58] Is it possible to customize themes in 11.10 ? [17:58] user_: test [17:58] bobbytek, what do you mean themes? [17:59] ViaNocturna85, in the Appearance menu [17:59] You can select a theme, but not modify it [17:59] somasin: another option is to set the lightdm service to manually start: echo manual | sudo tee /etc/init/lightdm.override; you can start it later with: sudo start lightdm; [17:59] I am interested in moving the close maximize, minimize buttons to the right [17:59] Is that possible? [18:00] bobbytek: Did you try Ubuntu Tweek? [18:00] bobbytek, try this link: http://askubuntu.com/questions/52533/how-to-change-gtk-theme-and-icon [18:00] anyone has a working xorg.conf for dual head intel integrated graphics (2600K cpu) [18:00] wh1zz0: run a dynamic dns service like no-ip and you can make your machine a server [18:00] bobbytek, it was intended for icons but covers themes altogether [18:02] g0rs: Cld you pls point me to a very good tutorial on this.. I've been searching and haven't found anything worthwhile to this regard [18:02] does anyone know the keyboard shortcut keys for page up and down on a netbook without those keys ? [18:02] wh1zz0: are you behing a router? [18:02] wh1zz0 dynamic dns wont solve your problem if youre behind a router [18:03] wh1zz0: you have to setup a dmz host if you're behind a router and enable ports on a machine [18:03] trism: ty that did it [18:03] I don't have a router [18:04] wh1zz0: there are plenty of tutorials on the web which can help you configure a dns client ( which is your machine) [18:04] dyndns client [18:04] sorry dyndns client [18:05] ... and anytime I go to type in my external IP address in my browser, this is what I get... SOMAportal is not enabled on this system. [18:08] wh1zz0, which address is that? === wcchandl1r is now known as wcchandler [18:09] B0g4r7_: The IP address I see when I visit whatismyipaddress.com i.e my external ip address and I also get the same msg when I visit 192.168.1.1 [18:09] wh1zz0: you are connected directly to the internet? does the ip-address given by "ifconfig" match the one when you call "whatismyip.org"? [18:10] router'd bro [18:10] hey why doesnt this freenode seem very free [18:10] hmmm [18:10] wh1zz0, is that the same address you are connected to IRC from? (41.184.68.112) [18:10] yeah,, that's my external [18:11] loop-, lol needs more meds. [18:11] dont mind if i do [18:12] wh1zz0, and your internal IP address shown by ifconfig, that is a different address? [18:12] llutz: No the inet I see when I go ifconig is 192.168.1.1 while the one I see when I visit whatismyipaddress.com is the one B0g4r7_ pasted above [18:12] wh1zz0, OK, you are indeed behind a NAT router then. [18:12] B0g4r7_: Yeah the inet is 192.168.1.2 [18:13] wh1zz0: as i told you some day ago, you need to ask your ISP to do portforwarding for you (which he surely not will do) or change your ISP [18:13] wh1zz0: setup a dmz host [18:13] wh1zz0, Unless you have the password to the router, you will not be able to receive inbound connections from the outside. [18:13] B0g4r7_ log into his router and forward his port for him lol [18:13] heh [18:13] wh1zz0: setting a dmz post would put your machine in the WAN. [18:14] DMZ is overkill. He just needs one port forwarded. [18:14] g0rs: Hmmm [18:14] B0g4r7_: his ISP does NAT, so no chance of portforwarding [18:14] just installed backtrack , now when i try to install anything i get an error like this :: Can't open /var/lib/sudo/username/0: Read-only file system [18:14] W: Not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock [18:14] E: Unable to write to /var/cache/apt/ [18:14] E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. [18:14] Yeah and since I dont have access to my router [18:14] in the case, you might enable ports on a particlar machine such as port 80 for http or something else for https [18:14] g0rs: B0g4r7_: Since I dont have access to my router, will the DMZ work for me? [18:15] anybody knows why ? [18:15] wh1zz0: are you in a corporate of university lan? [18:15] !backtrack | anuj [18:15] anuj: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

You might look at "Hamachi" VPN software, which can work around your limitations, but that means that anyone who wants to connect to your server will also need to be running Hamachi. [18:15] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [18:15] wh1zz0: do you have acess to your LAN's router? [18:16] lol banned by the bot [18:16] B0g4r7_: Ahhhh the hamachi stuff would be sad.. :( ... g0rs: No I do not, when I try to access my router, I get a msg saying it's not enabled on this system.. meaning I cont have access [18:17] Any other option? How about the DMZ option? [18:17] wh1zz0: can you type something like 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 , this is the ip of your router ( gateway) [18:17] wh1zz0, DMZ also requires admin access to your router. [18:17] all Hello! Can someone help me? [18:18] g0rs: Yeah.. I know that's the gateway.. and it doesnt allow me .... B0g4r7_: hummm... I see.. :( [18:18] if you dont have access your router, your options are very limited . [18:18] wh1zz0: as i already told you too: hire a cheap webspace and put your stuff there. [18:18] Hello guys I have install gnome-shell but have bout Unity and gnome3 , how to turn off unity ?in Ubuntu 11.10 [18:19] !nounity | milen8204 [18:19] milen8204: 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 [18:20] B0g4r7_, I have read !nounity but can`t remove unity whit gnome-tweak-tool [18:20] llutz: Yeah.. I guess you did, just thought maybe there was another squeaky option [18:20] Thanks guys [18:20] plug the machine directly into your modem wh1zz0 [18:20] wh1zz0: yes, change your ISP :) [18:21] Do you happen to know how can I create a Windows 7 bootable USB flash drive from Fedora 15? I know this isn't the proper channel to ask this, but ##windows is useless. =_=" [18:21] milen8204, you don't really want to remove unity, it is actually a plugin in compiz it is rather small, and messing with removing it really isn't in your best interests, unless your like really OCD. [18:21] !all [18:21] dim_qv: this channel is useless too, you are offtopic [18:22] dim_qv: there is usb disk creator , im not sure if you'd find it in fedora [18:22] llutz: Yeah.. I guess changing my ISP would be the next option cuz apart from the fact that I hate paying for something which I can get for free, I love monitoring and administering my stuffs, you know, that kinda thing [18:22] anyway of making alt not popup menus in terminal [18:22] llutz: yes, I _know_ that. But someone might still be helpful if he knows something about this issue. [18:22] wh1zz0: if you haev your own isp, then they might have setup a modem with router for you [18:23] dim_qv, you can make a bootable usb by partitoning with ntfs having a bootflag and extracting the ISO to the USB in ubuntu fedora probably s no different. [18:23] hi [18:23] dim_qv, booting Windows from anything other than a normal hard drive or SSD is not likely to work well at all IMO. [18:23] this is what i got on my ubuntu server [18:23] urlin2u, http://imageshack.us/f/231/20111107202105.png/ just want to remove the dock in left [18:23] http://pastebin.com/tDS02ine [18:23] what i have to do ? [18:24] milen8204, some suggest just unticking the unity-plugin in the compizconfig manager do at your own risk. [18:24] hello anyone there , [18:24] ? [18:25] Heh, the dock is the only part of Unity that I care for. [18:25] milen8204, I use docky on the bottom as well, never unticked the unity though. [18:25] g0rs: urlin2u B0g4r7_ thank you guys :) I'll try your methods and see if it helps. [18:25] are you on a telephone, zetui ? [18:25] urlin2u, what could happen if I try ? :D [18:25] http://pastebin.com/tDS02ine <==== what is this error ? [18:26] urlin2u, I dont like the Unity plugin I would like to use gnome panels [18:26] If anyone knows the solution, they will report it to you. [18:26] !nounity [18:26] 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 [18:26] milen8204, not sure bit the refresh rate of compiz is not good in natty and beyond, Basically evrytime I have seen that advice it has a at your own risk attached. [18:26] zetui, it would appear to be related to SMBus. Beyond that I don't know. Are you experiencing problems with the affected system? [18:26] anyone has a working xorg.conf for intel integrated graphics (2600K cpu) [18:26] seriously, this is ridiculous...where can I find accessories on the new Ubuntu theme...I cannot seem to figure out how to change it back to the classic view, rather than this mac-style full screen crap [18:26] yes [18:26] Such as... [18:26] urlin2u, I am whit 11.10 [18:27] what is SMBUS ? [18:27] milen8204, you can turn it back on though I think in the 2d unity or the classic natty and beyond means later releases. [18:27] Hi! I'm for several days, since with lots of problems with ubuntu and internet in wireless conection, while windows internet is fluent. I've been looking on the internet and tryed not to use ipv6, but no improve, neither using google DNS. Someone can help me with an idea with this serious problem? Thanks [18:27] zetui, System Management Bus, I believe. I would suggest looking it up on wikipedia for further detail. [18:28] urlin2u, ok I choose classic [18:28] on the start [18:29] what i have to do ? [18:29] for this one ? [18:29] > http://pastebin.com/tDS02ine <==== [18:30] quit [18:30] Whoops xd [18:30] is there a way to keep NetworkManager from touching my resolv.conf everytime my wifi reconnects it changes my dns [18:30] strange: you can set your nameserver settings in network/manager instead [18:31] where is this network manager located [18:31] wow.... [18:31] i just know the vim /etc/resolv.conf option [18:31] zetui, it would help if described ion more detail under what conditions these errors are occuring [18:31] ion=in [18:31] strange, you were the one to ask about NetworkManager. [18:31] strange: rightclick nm-applet, edit connection, set dns in ipv4-settings [18:32] are you asking me when i got this error ? [18:32] zetui, what problems are you experiencing with the affected system, aside from this error appearing in the logs? [18:33] flthx [18:33] nothing i just only got this on my log [18:33] for my internet problem with wireless, maybe I can find privative drivers? In the application it doesn't find anything, is there any other way to manually search for it? [18:33] what i have to do ? [18:33] hurrican electric does something with ipv6 [18:33] zetui, in that case, I would not worry. There are many, many things that are going to show up in the logs that are not necessarily an indication of a problem that needs to be addresses. [18:34] addressed [18:34] I recently installed iptux and ipmsg on my system for file sharing ... the programs work perfectly, but I was warned to watch for "security risks" what should I look for?

[18:51] jost_, maybe with ulimit http://ss64.com/bash/ulimit.html [18:52] im sure my question is fairly simple to most users here :) [18:53] vacho: you could use "alien" to convert it but you'd better try to find a deb or build from sources [18:53] there is none [18:53] !alien [18:53] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM.

[19:17] kronoman: What version a and DE [19:17] Question - is there any way I can create a "user entry" at the login screen to run a certain script? For example, what if I would like a script to run, but only when called on. To make it easier for students I'd like to have an entry at the login screen which runs it. How can I do this?

I want the user to select "Fix Profile" and the "Fix Profile" user runs a script, then returns back to the login screen. Is this easy to do? [19:19] need to install a printer(panasonic workio 190) and use it from my xubuntu :( [19:19] jason00_: create a new user with that script as login shell. [19:19] llutz: yes, I know. you said that, but the same question I just asked still applies. [19:19] jason00_: just make sure the script logs out the user when exiting [19:20] llutz: oh. okay [19:20] gotcha :) [19:20] jason00_: he cannot login [19:21] jason00_: but i don't know how that will be handled by gdm/lightdm(any dm). [19:22] llutz: the only thing is that script must run as root. is this possible to do without having that user need to authenticate? [19:22] jason00_: hopefully not :) [19:22] llutz: how would it matter if its ldm or gdm? If it logs the user out, it logs the user out. Right? [19:23] jason00_: DMs do much more than loging a user in/out, different from "login" (the program) [19:23] llutz: I'm still not entirely following how that's relevant. If the script is tied to run at login, followed by logging the user out at the end of the script, what's it matter? [19:24] jason00_: i never have done that. try it and look if it works as you need === diamonds is now known as Guest66582 [19:26] question, I have 2 network cards in my box, eth0 is connected to my router eth1 i want to hook another device to so it has internet through my box. what am i looking for? bridging?

[21:23] Jaymac: i don't use empathy but i'm on msn with pidgin just fine [21:23] well probably not, im not completely sure it will be MySQL intensive [21:24] beat111: http://pastebin.com/vizf1dAp [21:24] auronandace, pidgin is just about to be installed.. haven't used it in years [21:24] andyk: I can't see it being 55GB [21:24] andyk: I'd keep it as simple as possible, especially the document root position (as I'll repeat to make sure it's clear, apache uses a different methods to define the document root and virtual hosts) [21:24] kratos :got your answer already? [21:25] *well the site is still in development using YII framework, PHP, MySQL and revolves around mp3 files which I will host on the server [21:25] DasEi: Thank you. I will try it. [21:25] andyk: still doesn't change anything I've said [21:25] hi,i've installed nvidia-current driver but when i run nvidia-settings i get "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.moreover when i run sudo nvidia-xconfig it says command not found.please help [21:26] #join gentoo [21:26] DO I need vino-server to do Remote desktop/vnc? [21:26] auronandace, pidgin works fine [21:26] unsurprisingly [21:26] guy__: gksudo nvidia-xconfig [21:26] beat111: uups, and forget your old lines following the recheck in line 30, I saw too late your old rest there [21:26] guy__: and install nvidia-xconfig [21:26] !yay | Jaymac [21:26] Jaymac: Glad you made it! :-) [21:26] maybe this is going to be the straw that broke the camel's back [21:26] half of it DasEi! i want to know how to use the NTFS partition as my linux /home and if it would effect windows [21:26] alright, but one more thing my most valuable data will not be the code, I can have multiple copies of that somewhere, but it will be the MySQL tables and the mp3 files, should that be in the raid5 then? [21:26] I fell out with Pidgin years ago - maybe time to start using it again :) [21:26] andyk: no [21:27] andyk: the mirror [21:27] kratos: you don't [21:27] what if a disk fails? [21:27] andyk: just take regular exports/backups, [21:27] ikonia, i tried sudo apt-get install nvidia-xconfig but it says command not found [21:27] andyk: if a disk fails, nothing will matter, because it's mirrored [21:27] guy__: command not found or package not found ? [21:27] then do i have to manually rebuild the new disk i put in [21:27] andyk: well, not manually, you put it in and re-add it to the raid array and it will mirror from the running disk [21:27] ikonia, sorry that output comes when i run sudo nvidia-xconfig [21:28] guy__: ok, that's why I said install it [21:28] kratos: you CAn have ntfs in linux, but loose a lot of linux capabilities then. first tip would be an additional shared parti, second a home in ext3 (ubu) that win can (by a "plugin") can also read n write [21:28] so what is the benefit of a raid5 array then? Ive read somewhere of people migrating MySQL to raid5 [21:28] Question, Im an using ubuntu server 11.10 after I install it rebooted and shot straight to my monitor saying something like can't display resolution 1280xbla bla [21:28] ikonia,when i try to install it says unable to locate package [21:28] auronandace, just before i dig around too much, is it possible to integrate pidgin into the messaging menu? [21:28] I can ssh into the box [21:28] andyk: well, for massive sites with super hi I/O operations that can be a benifit [21:29] !info nvidia-xconfig [21:29] Jaymac: not sure what you mean sorry, i use xfce [21:29] Package nvidia-xconfig does not exist in oneiric [21:29] is raid1 slower than raid5?

[21:30] guy__: what did [21:31] ok so in terms of apache is it the best idea to keep the apache program and data files in one raid array or to separate the two if i wanted apache to run on a raid1 and the website to be pulled from a raid5 [21:31] I forgot my password for ubuntu login. How do I reset the password? [21:31] aaaabc: boot into single user mode (recovery mode) and change it [21:31] can i use an external cd-drive to boot an OS? [21:31] mich2000: if your bios supports it [21:31] andyk: long speak in short, you can make say 5 hd's in 1 Tb each to a superfast n safe 2TB, the faster the more diskspace "lost" (over the thumb) [21:32] I'm using 11.10. Is there a way to set shortcuts to workspaces? Like Ctrl+1 for workspace 1, Ctrl+2 for WS2 etc [21:32] ikonia, http://imgur.com/KKKe2 [21:33] beat111: look in /dev/mapper yourself, I thought you already figured correct identifier out, that /dev is needed for /mnt [21:33] guy__: how did you install the nvidia driver ? [21:34] alright well thanks for all the good info, i'm going to go experiment some more [21:34] andyk: is this thing home hosted or a data center ? [21:34] beat111: luksopen on crypt might also have been told, but an ls in /dev/mapper will show correct device, it's not /dev/crypt [21:34] its home, mainly for self-learning purposes [21:34] hi all, is there a way to pass boot arguments with reboot? I would like to reboot into single user mode [21:34] andyk: ok - so forget raid 5 and just use the mirror [21:34] sudo mount /dev/mapper/crypt /mnt gives: mount: unknown filesystem type "LVM2_member" [21:35] andyk: you're not going to gain anything and you're going to make your setup over complex for no reason [21:35] DasEi: sudo mount /dev/mapper/crypt /mnt gives: mount: unknown filesystem type "LVM2_member" [21:35] andyk: if you got some, least two hardrives free, mdadm is a very nice neasy thing to cope raid [21:35] hello all, can anyone please tell me why "dpkg -l '*garmin*'" does not return garmin-ant-downloader, garmin-forerunner-tools and "apt-cache search garmin" does? [21:35] ikonia, first from system->administration->additional drivers and then i did sudo apt-get --reinstall install nvidia-current [21:35] !info mdadm [21:35] DasEi: he doesn't want that [21:35] mdadm (source: mdadm): tool to administer Linux MD arrays (software RAID).

[21:36] guy__: if you go into the additional drivers tool now, does it show the driver as active [21:36] DasEi: i think you forgot about me my friend :) [21:36] andyk: you've wasted a whole disk on swap ? [21:36] andyk: sure it wasn't one partition [21:36] ikonia, it says activated but not in use [21:36] !swap | andyk [21:36] andyk: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [21:36] DasEi: Ls /dev/mapper gives: control crypt [21:37] oh ok that makes sense now [21:37] Hello, I have to create a video with some photos, short videos and some text. which software should I use? [21:37] Fresh install of ubuntu 11.10 server, after after it picks up OS Monitors goes into Cannot display this video mode??? [21:37] beat111: /dev/mapper/crypt, unless it's a dir [21:37] well i knew i was wasting the drive but im just learning right now so its ok nothing important is being hosted yet [21:38] andyk: your swap partition should be roughly the same size as your memory [21:38] DasEi: It is not a dir. [21:38] guy__: you should have nvidia-xconfig on your machine then [21:38] kratos: no good idea, a shared home, as the oses will conflict in overwriting /sys-parti win n /data-parti ntfs [21:38] will ubuntu automaticly use the swap if the RAM is full or do i have to configure it somewher? [21:38] beat111: /dev/mapper/crypt [21:38] I can't find the shortcut 'Switch to workspace X'. did it just disappear? [21:39] andyk: it will auto use it, but if you're swapping out, your in trouble [21:39] andyk: does so, can configure swapiness though, but oc a swap parti must be there [21:39] i shouldnt need it anytime soon i have 8GB RAM [21:39] Neosano: you could try openshot [21:39] andyk: it should use a bit, it will swap out (good) unused programs [21:40] kratos: what is wrong with a dualboot and an extra shared partiton ? ext3 ? [21:40] programs that are in ZOMBIE or SLEEP mode? === sysadamin is now known as sysadamin|away [21:40] how can i install log4php ? [21:40] andyk: not zombie, but certainly sleep [21:41] auronandace, yeah, trying to use it right now, How can I make a thing with text+photo near to it simultaneously?

[21:41] guy__: do "sudo find / -name nvidia-xconfig -print 2>/dev/null [21:42] Neosano: sorry i'm not sure, i haven't tried doing text in it (just video and music) [21:42] urthmover, #ubuntu-server as far as I remember [21:42] yeah i've followed those intstructions and after that grub didn't have win7 as an entry [21:42] morrna: first install win7, then grub, os-prober should find win and integrate it [21:42] well thank you very much DasEi but i think you dont understand the defrance between giving an info and an openion! what i need is an info, but for some resean you just keep going around the main point in my question. i think am going to dig this thing alone! again thanks and sorry for takeing from time [21:42] and then [21:43] and then i couldn't repair win7's boot record so i had to do a total wipe again; wasted 8 hours [21:43] kratos: you don't seem to understand the importance of having the /home partition on a linux filesystem === doug__ is now known as Guest6132 [21:43] cinelerra === LinoSP|away is now known as LinoSP [21:44] kratos: win sys-parti same as /home for linux, noo good idea === asellia is now known as Fuindis [21:45] auronandace: i do understand it but i am willing to give that in the sake of my needs! and DasEi you still talking about if its a good idea or not, not saying if its applicable or not! what a wast of time [21:45] morrna: why couldn you repair win 7 ? efi ? too less space in mbr ? [21:46] kratos: explain to me why you want the /home partition as ntfs [21:46] i don't know, it stopped recognizing the os even tho it was still on the hd [21:47] too quiet [21:47] i've got plenty of space everywhere it was just weirdly not recognizing what was there [21:47] morrna: in which line did you install win, then ubu ? [21:48] or order=line [21:48] i installed win7, then ubuntu [21:48] then grub2 didn't recognize win7 [21:48] morrna: ubu booted but had no enty for win ? [21:48] entry* [21:48] ya that's what happened [21:48] auronandace: the dev's in my company developed a tool to perform (tasks) on windows files and it need to be on the /home dir so instead of keep copying those files from the windows serv 2008 to the home dir of ubuntu i want to mount the whole system part as the ubuntu /home [21:49] morrna: tried to run os-prober in ubuntu ? [21:49] hi [21:49] ikonia, /usr/lib/nvidia-current/bin/nvidia-xconfig [21:49] If i have many windows up in ubuntu, how do i quickly go to the main desktop? [21:49] i didn't know about os-prober, i'll try it if it happens again [21:49] how do I make virtual terminals use normal 80 width in ubuntu 10.04, and how do I stop the blinking cursor? [21:49] kratos: and these devs know you've installed ubuntu? [21:49] is there any soft which allow to convert sound (from a wav file) to text ? [21:50] automatically takes a file input and convert it [21:50] @DasEi is os-prober safe to run from inside ubuntu? [21:50] morrna: please put nick in answers, as I otherwise might oversee them [21:50] the app is developed for ubunto, in the company's network thats what they did and thats what they told me to do [21:50] ah, yes, morrna, it is [21:50] @DasEi ok [21:50] ikonia, would you care to look at my xorg.0.log as well http://pastebin.com/fmfT5tQU [21:51] @DasEi thanks for the tip [21:51] kratos: from what you've said it sounds as if this app is very poorly written (and likely windows specific) [21:51] morrna: both is always possible without fresh reinstall, repair win-loader as is reinstalling grub [21:51] they didnt give me info about it so am trying to find the answer here so am not asking if its good or bad to do! i know its a big mess to use NTFS in linux! i mean who need it and am with you in that! but thats my case [21:51] ikonia, my xorg.conf is also missing as well as xorg.conf.nvidia from /etc/X11 [21:51] morrna: for win ask in ##windows here it is : [21:52] !grub [21:52] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic).

[21:53] @DasEi no i got to the grub menu fine, but it only had entries for ubuntu and ubuntu recovery mode [21:53] ikonia, you there? [21:54] guy__: I am now [21:54] morrna: ah ok, so os-prober or a fix first of win, then grub again should have done the trick [21:54] all right [21:54] lol back to the openions! guys cumon! i really need to know if its APPLICABLE to mount NTFS system partion as the linux /home or not and if its going to effect my windows OS! thats all, i have a demo to perform tomorow and i need to be ready! am travling now and i cant ask help from the dev's! its holday even in my country now :( === davidcalle_ is now known as davidcalle [21:55] kratos: no, it's not [21:55] @DasEi I may have to go ask about the problems with win7 first, because the recovery disk wasn't able to get win7 booting again [21:55] morrna: no need for full reinstall, problems there can be is when mbr is too small, efi is used, but there are workarounds, too [21:55] kratos: 1.) it is a bad thing to do for linux 2.) it will not effect your linux disk, however it will not making using it easy [21:55] <_chaos_> dsl is more like dialup these days [21:55] ikonia, so what shoul i do?? if you see my xorg.0.log there is no xorg.conf [21:56] @DasEi how small is too small? I'm pretty sure my mbr was sitting on at least 100 MB [21:56] guy__: there should not be an xorg.conf at this time - did you run the find command I told you [21:56] ikonia, yes i posted it here [21:56] morrna: na, it's ~512 first blocks commonly, you talk about /boot (partition), mbr is masterbootrecord [21:56] guy__: I didn't see that, did you find the command ?

[22:06] ram and that? [22:06] gentoo64: yeah [22:06] scorinitron: no linux distro would waste your resources [22:06] EvilResistance: but synaptic shows that I have 2.4.23-0ubuntu3.6 [22:06] scorinitron: depends what you want from the os [22:06] scorinitron, define "waste" is having getty running tty1 considered a waste? [22:07] you could run in console only [22:07] but whod want that for a desktop [22:07] zacarias: ***READ*** the statements [22:07] well I can't multi-task [22:07] EvilResistance:? [22:07] it freezes every 10 minutes [22:07] scorinitron: linux will allow you to multi-task [22:07] zacarias: "Depends: libldap-2.4-2 (=2.4.23-0ubuntu3.5)" Is 2.4.23-0ubuntu3.5 equal to 2.4.23-0ubuntu3.6 [22:07] scorinitron: that is most likley a hardware error, or an incompatible hardware component with linux [22:07] ? [22:07] scorinitron: how much ram do you have? [22:07] 2GB [22:08] scorinitron: it does sound like a hardware error [22:08] unless you're using all the ram [22:08] EvilResistance: so I should downgrade it? [22:09] zacarias: either that or not use what you're trying to install. === M4rc3l is now known as zz_M4rc3l [22:09] 2GB on a Intel Pentium 4 3.00ghz Dual Core Processor [22:09] zacarias: or file a bug against what you're trying to install saying they should update their package(s) [22:09] is their anything I can do about that? [22:09] zacarias: i rarely recommend downgrading anything [22:09] zacarias: what package are you trying to install? [22:09] scorinitron: try a lighter desktop maybe [22:09] EvilResistance: it's Libreoffice. How can I downgrade it? [22:09] scorinitron: itll be faster eithe rway [22:09] well... [22:10] I don't really have any spares [22:10] zacarias: that should have already been installed *runs tests* what distro? 11.04, 11.10? [22:10] scorinitron: spare what? [22:10] Desktops [22:10] I build computers [22:10] scorinitron: what do you mean [22:10] lol [22:10] :) [22:10] so do i [22:10] thanks escott [22:10] yeah ;) sweet [22:10] scorinitron: he means a lighter desktop environment (like xfce or lxde) [22:11] oh... [22:11] EvilResistance: I have 10.10 on powerpc. 11.04 is slow and 11.10 has booting problems [22:11] educate me? [22:11] ah i thought you was joking [22:11] lol [22:11] zacarias: ah. [22:11] scorinitron: i take it you're on plain normal ubuntu [22:11] yeah [22:11] zacarias: i'm not sure i'll be able to assist - i'm on 11.04 + KDE [22:11] :/ [22:11] hello, do you know of any app (gnome applet that can put in a bar) to switch various languages of the system spellchecker? [22:11] I started with 10.04 [22:11] zacarias: but you now know the issue [22:11] just switched from windows 7 [22:11] scorinitron: well theres other verions like lubuntu and xubuntu.. google them [22:12] hmmm [22:12] they will run faster [22:12] and be more stable [22:12] I need something that is a hell of a lot better than ubunt [22:12] u [22:12] anyone knowing where i can find gcc-4.7 package? i had it on my machine around month ago, but i can't find it anywhere in the internet... [22:12] scorinitron: try lubuntu on livecd [22:12] EvilResistance: sure. So it's impossible to install libreoffice on 10.10? [22:12] light ubuntu? [22:13] lxde (the desktop) [22:13] !lubuntu | scorinitron [22:13] scorinitron: lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu . /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [22:13] how do I get rid of small font in virtual terminal, and return to 80x25? [22:13] um.... [22:13] What a minute [22:13] u telling me I can change the IDE? [22:13] XD srry [22:13] scorinitron: you can change the way the desktop looks [22:13] thinking C++ [22:13] hello all, can anyone please tell me why "dpkg -l '*garmin*'" does not return garmin-ant-downloader, garmin-forerunner-tools and "apt-cache search garmin" does? [22:14] really? [22:14] how? [22:14] scorinitron: of course. i take it you're new to linux [22:14] yeah [22:14] really new [22:14] DasEi: Still there? [22:14] scorinitron: google image these: kde lxde xfce [22:14] beat111: y [22:14] scorinitron: theres more [22:14] scorinitron, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop (or kubuntu-desktop etc) [22:15] beat111: what is /is not up ? [22:15] ok [22:15] DasEi: I just tried http://pastebin.com/vizf1dAp and I think it worked. I am at line 30 now and it worked. However the remaining lines are they really necessarry? They produce errors. [22:16] At least I'm familiar with the terminal :) [22:16] beat111: see above, second, I rephrase it [22:16] scorinitron: from windows? [22:16] beat111: uups, and forget your old lines following the recheck in line 30, I saw too late your old rest there [22:16] scorinitron: if you know exactly what you want you could try the mini.iso [22:17] !mini | scorinitron [22:17] scorinitron: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [22:17] EvilResistance: Thanks, anyway. [22:17] beat111: said approx 20 min before, so no quit there, sudo reboot [22:17] auronandace: he is very new he said and didnt even know you could change the desktop [22:17] :) [22:17] Gentoo64, well I am new but I can use the terminal [22:17] lol [22:18] scorinitron: define "use the terminal" [22:18] So I can stop at line 30 then? [22:18] DasEi: So I can stop at line 30 then? [22:18] DasEi: Sorry my WLAN connectin is unstable and I get kicked off the chat all the time. I was not able to read your comment. [22:18] DasEi: So after line 30 I should try a sudo reboot and it should work you say? :) [22:18] download programs, run programs [22:18] yeah let me rephrase that [22:18] I have basic knowledge of the terminal [22:18] who requested small hard to see fonts in the virtual terminal? [22:19] VEry basic [22:19] beat111: what did the recheck said ? all fine ? yes can reboot then [22:19] I just took what I learned from Windows's CMD [22:19] Anyone know why ubuntu 11.10 halts on install after detecting usb devices? Brand new system 8 core amd with 16 gig of memory [22:19] hello! [22:19] and found the terminal equivalent [22:19] my eyes hurt [22:19] scorinitron: youll find linux terminal much niver to use [22:19] scorinitron: in that case try lubuntu as somebody already suggested [22:20] lubuntu....I'll look into it but I kinda want to step away from ubuntu all together [22:20] scorinitron: why? [22:20] i'm having problem to connect to msn with empathy or emesene, someone can help me? [22:20] scorinitron: if its a bad experience maybe its due to the gnome 3 / unity stuff [22:20] scorinitron: then you are asking in the wrong room :) [22:20] XD [22:20] what do you run gentoo [22:20] lol [22:20] Urchin, you can change the framebuffer resolution with a kernel boot parameter. specify it in /etc/default/grub. you may also be able to use something like fbset im not sure [22:21] and you auronandace [22:21] scorinitron: xubuntu and archlinux [22:21] ok I heard of archlinux [22:21] and xubuntu [22:21] scorinitron: you still havent stated what you actually want from a distro [22:21] archlinux is kinda like genome [22:21] um.... [22:22] hmmm [22:22] scorinitron: i like xfce, you can install it in ubuntu with: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [22:22] Urchin: terminal ? it can be simply set under edit [22:23] I kinda want to learn bash and how to program....but I don't want my OS to be wasting resources. Let me but it this way [22:23] I have a 320GB hard drive on my pc [22:23] scorinitron: than you want one of the lightweight versions of ubuntu. Try xubuntu or lubuntu [22:23] scorinitron: a lighter DE will save a ot of resources more than anything [22:23] scorinitron: vm is your friend for fork's experiments [22:23] what's vm...Virtual machine? [22:24] hello, there are some problem with empathy msn protocol [22:24] ? [22:24] scorinitron: distros like archlinux etc might be more minimal but it will only be in disk space, not in resources mostly [22:24] yes, scorinitron, [22:24] !vm [22:24] 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 [22:24] cool [22:24] scorinitron: the advantage is, if you mess up, it's not the host, just a file on your system [22:25] cool [22:25] I want to create a symlink that every user of the box needs access to, what directory should that go in? [22:25] I see, i see [22:25] now what [22:25] is better [22:25] mediaslave, what should the symlink do [22:25] mediaslave: make one and chmod it [22:25] xubunt or lubuntu? [22:25] scorinitron: lubuntu would be better on resources [22:25] !best | scorinitron [22:25] scorinitron: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [22:25] scorinitron: try both and see which you like, lubuntu would be the lighter of those [22:26] escott: it is a link to firefox [22:26] scorinitron: I haven't followed your conversation, possibly lightwight or a 'foolproof way for experiments ? [22:26] scorinitron: Gnome and unity, which is probably what you're feeling the resource hogging from, are just two components that can be swapped out. I use xfce (xubuntu) for a much lighter weight experience, while still getting the advantage of having the ubuntu repos at my disposal. [22:26] mediaslave, /usr/local/bin [22:26] escott thank you! [22:27] ok I'll check out xfce [22:27] scorinitron: easier to just put both on cds and try them live [22:27] ok [22:28] my scp to a local virtual box image is very very slow and I suspect its because of proxy I'm using. [22:28] I've been dumb and executed "sudo chmod -R 664 /media/disk0_backup" [22:28] Thanks Gentoo64 sounds like a plan ^^ [22:28] scorinitron: yes, just start anyware, mostly can have mixed desktops on one host, sometimes libs/dependenciece cause trouble, use vm's to play around [22:28] Now all my folders and files are gone [22:28] I tried scp'ng same file without proxy and that seems to be faster. How can i tell SCP not to use proxy [22:28] hello, there are some problem with empathy msn protocol? [22:28] Gentoo64, can I add u as a friend [22:28] wagnergsantos: a few people have come in asking that [22:29] cam anybody help me please to use mouse with keyboard in openbox ? [22:29] ok guys....I wanted to know something else [22:29] Anyway I can undo it ? [22:29] that I am a total noob at [22:29] I've been trying to get tor running [22:29] scorinitron: just apt-get install tor [22:29] scorinitron: np, which distro, oneiric ? [22:30] yep [22:30] actually you might need a ppa im not sure [22:30] Gentoo64: might need the repo [22:30] y, second [22:30] yeah i think its on tors site [22:30] !tor | scorinitron [22:30] scorinitron: Tor is a program to route connections through several servers for anonymity. It is in Ubuntu's repositories, but the Tor Project recommends using their Tor packages due to past issues with Ubuntu's. For setup info, see option (2) of https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en | To use Tor on freenode, see !tor-sasl [22:30] how to tell scp to bypass proxy? [22:30] hello guys [22:30] DasEi, yep this thing is killing me...I'm a total noob...when it comes to installing things XD [22:30] I am installing ubuntu 11.10 on a brand new system. 8 core AMD FX-8150 CPU with a ASUS M5A97 -- AMD 970 motherboard and 16 gig of ram. When I go to install I get as far as 864 and detecting the usb keyboard and then it just hangs. Any ideas?

[22:31] or general stuff [22:31] yea XD [22:31] if i dont see bios and i dont get the grub menu for many time when i run my pc which log file shud i look into ? thanks [22:31] you can go to freenode and ask for a hostmask [22:31] scorinitron: ^ [22:31] its much faster and more reliable [22:32] tor depends on other connections, its too random and frustrating. i rarely use it [22:32] !hostmask | scorinitron [22:32] scorinitron, please see my private message [22:32] what's a host mask? [22:32] so it doesnt show your ip [22:33] it will show unaffiliated instead (by default) [22:33] how would I do this? [22:33] ask in #freenode [22:33] scorinitron, ask for a cloak [22:33] scorinitron: a claok will hide your ip in irc, tor is for "anonymous" browsing [22:33] go to freenode and ask for a cloak scorinitron one of the staff will cloak u [22:33] DasEi: tor still works [22:34] as do exitnodes, hehe [22:34] yeah [22:34] Gentoo64: hello waht log file i must check if i dont see my bios and my grub menu and nethin work when the pc its on [22:34] xsaidx, if you arent able to boot there will be no log files [22:35] xsaidx: if you can't access your bios that isn't an OS problem [22:35] escott: noo the pc goes on its just that the keyboard doesnt work and my monitor stay black but the oc its o n [22:35] xsaidx: there wont be logs if your computer cant reach BIOS. You'll need to contact a computer technician for help. [22:35] whats up everyone [22:36] guys but after many tries my pc boot normaly [22:36] Ufunny: planes, the sky... [22:37] xsaidx, sounds like you have some hardware issues. you need to have someone look into it [22:37] xsaidx, do you not see it post?

[22:41] hi [22:41] xsaidx, get a grounding strap and make sure that everything is properly seated. if the cpu/ram is not fully seated you might be getting occasional failures to boot [22:41] ciao [22:41] Guest58302, hi [22:41] !list [22:41] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic.

[22:43] laptops arent as easy [22:43] xsaidx, laptops usually arent very servicable. if it is within warranty return it, otherwise its probably cheaper to buy a new machine [22:43] xsaidx, whats the bios key? tried tapping that as it boots? [22:43] i dont know anything at all about laptops [22:43] but reset cmos sounds like good idea [22:43] if its possible [22:44] escott: not really here in morocco Gentoo64 sorry but i dont get you and the key i gues you talkin about its F2 [22:45] maybe try taking the battery out, then pressing the power button for a few seconds [22:45] then plug it all back in [22:45] that should drain the power out of it [22:45] it does actually help in some cases. helped me a lot of times on desktop [22:45] Gentoo64: im plugin the calbe to the source no battery is used [22:46] Im sooo angry...! Anyway: I cant get to my home directory "gigenieks" - because I copied .mdf file which somehow on his own created (or extracted) directory and that somehow don't allow to get me in /home/gigenieks folder...

[22:49] Hi, I'm trying to extract the files from 1862 .7z files, and I am trying to figure out 1 command that will do all the work, so I don't have to painstakingly extract each file with archive manager. The archives are fine, but when I try 7z e *.7z I just get a message that says there are no files in the source archive [22:49] red_: use a for loop. Here is an example: for x in 1 2 3; do echo $x; done [22:49] xsaidx, no idea. you really cant do mcuh while not being able to boot [22:49] red_, 7z is not very feature full. you need to use xargs or a bash loop [22:49] laptop graphcs arent as easy as just switching out a desktop one afaik [22:49] Gentoo64: now im using that machin by the way okay [22:50] wtf..i thought ubuntu wasnt meant to crash...its not letting me close a window with the x button?? [22:50] red_, for f in *.7z do; 7z e "$f"; done; [22:50] anyone to help with my issue? [22:50] ProxXy, who told you that? [22:50] im using the machine that havin this problem Gentoo64 [22:50] lol [22:50] escott: you typo'd the ';' position [22:50] xsaidx, you said it couldnt boot? :S im confused [22:51] jrib, thanks i can never remember. red_ ; before the do not after [22:51] that still doesn't explain why it says there are no files in the archive, when there are? I have tried unzipping one single archive from command line and it keeps saying that the archives are empty, but when I open them in archive manager the files are there. [22:51] Gentoo64: yesh but after many tries it booted now and im using it so now iwanna try to fix it : ] [22:51] red_: well how are you "unzipping one single archive from command line"? [22:51] How can I mount the Windows partition other than starting up Nautilus when I'm using openbox? [22:51] my sound only works for root [22:51] red_, it thinks you are trying to extract a file named foo.7z from an archive bar.7z because it see 7z e foo.7z bar.7z [22:52] meco, use mount [22:52] Gentoo64: its supposed to be more stable [22:52] 7z e filename [22:52] mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/windows for eg [22:52] ProxXy, than what? [22:52] ProxXy, its prob the gnome / unity thats being buggy [22:52] !ntfs-3g | meco [22:52] meco: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [22:53] can someone pls help me with invisible battery indicator i Ocelot on my dual-boot Toshiba L-655 [22:53] dr_willis: Won't it work otherwise? It works fine when I access it via nautilus [22:53] dluzius, your problem was an acpi problem. you need to see if there are any specific fixes for your hardware [22:53] Thanks for help noone. :P [22:54] Gentoo64: so can you help me please [22:54] hi - I have just bought a new SSD - is there a guide to porting my existing system over to the new device? [22:55] I went into terminal and did an apt-get install for acpi, but still have same problem [22:55] how exactly do I type it [22:55] it is giving me these > [22:55] endlessly [22:55] red_: press ctrl-c [22:56] How do I find out the name of the ntfs partition? [22:56] Using Ubuntu 11, I am trying to have a bash script run on startup using the startup applications manager GUI. The script is not being ran on startup. I don't see anything in syslog or messages or boot as to why. When I run the script manually, it works [22:56] yes but how do i get it to execute the command [22:57] Fresh install of ubuntu 11.10 server, after after it picks up OS Monitors goes into Cannot display this video mode??? But I can ssh into it. [22:58] Do you have to "safely eject" devices such as usb sticks on ubuntu? [22:58] oh you need the done [22:58] lol [22:58] when I run "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/windows" I get this error: mount: mount point /mnt/windows does not exist [22:58] jer7117: how do you know the script is not being run? How do you run it yourself? Pastebin the script [22:59] I have libx11-dev installed (/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6) so if I do "gcc -m32 -lX11 blah.c" everything works fine, but If I install any lib32-*-dev package and run the same command, I get "cannot find -lX11" (I'm guessing because the existence of /usr/lib32 confuses ld)...anyone know how to fix this? [22:59] meco, does the directory exsist? [22:59] meco: you shud create that folder first [22:59] hahahaaaa yesss it's doing it [22:59] this is on 11.10 btw [22:59] thx alot [22:59] drdozer1, lots of approaches. you could migrate through an mdadm raid, or do a straight cp -a, or do a reinstall and !clone. the main difficulties are going to be splitting /var of the main system and putting it on the harddrive (unless you don't care about ssd wearing), fixing the fstab, and reconfiguring/reinstalling the bootloader [22:59] Is it the /mnt folder only that needs to be created? [22:59] i once again have locked up XTerm, all 4 xterms are greyed out and non responsive. Pretty lame :/ [22:59] meco yes create the folder in the /mnt folder [23:00] meco: noo the /mnt it exists already now do mkdir /mnt/folder_name with root privelge [23:00] meco, /media is a more common name [23:00] starting a new one also ends up in the same state [23:00] (i say xterm but i mean gnome-terminal) [23:01] How do I find out the name of the ntfs partition? [23:01] escott: it's made a bit more gnarley by my original setup having 2 disks - boot from disk 1 (windows on that) but use disk 2 (ubuntu) [23:01] escott: I want to end up with booting and using my ssd, no windows :) [23:01] never mind got it :) [23:02] drdozer1, thats not a big issue. you now have three disks instead of two. you just need to decide where the bootloader will be, and rerun grub-install to put it on the mbr === eric is now known as Guest50485 [23:03] meco, what do you mean by name? you want the mountpoint? [23:03] escott: well, once I'm done, the 2 old disks will be going into my `museum of old computer bits' [23:03] when I run "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/windows" I get this error: mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist [23:03] meco, use the disk utility to find the partition name [23:03] has the default rdp client been removed / changed in oneiric? tsclient seems to have vanished during the update [23:03] How can i gently stop gnome-terminal from commandprompt? (I am talking about locked up gnome terminals, i am in another terminal (not gnome-terminal) so i can kill stuff) [23:04] escott: anyhoo, I'll upgrade to 11.10 first [23:04] Daghdha: killall gnome-terminal [23:04] but it will obviously close all of them === Guest50485 is now known as LLStarks [23:04] Will that gracefull shutdown childprocesses? [23:04] escott: I'm using openbox. What's the name of the disk utility? [23:04] tbh gnome-terminal is taking 98% cputime.. it probably won'tlisten to anything [23:05] Daghdha, it will listen to kill [23:05] Daghdha: if the childprocesses react on graceful attempts then they will close as well [23:05] ok [23:05] fingers crossed [23:05] meco, openbox i dont know. if you check /proc/partitions you can list partitions [23:05] otherwise they will become orphans and you might have to kill them manually (after looking them up in ps afuwx) [23:05] yeh [23:06] Daghdha: killall asks the processes to terminate, which they usually do [23:06] That was 1 milisecond close of all terminals. [23:06] meco: what you can mount shud start with /dev/sda_number_here [23:06] No way that was gracefull [23:06] oh well [23:06] it depends on the view of graceful === red_ is now known as RedAshes [23:06] So, i'm in the market for a terminal replacement. But not uxterm. Any suggestions? [23:07] what caused the gnome-terminal hangup, Daghdha ? [23:07] Daghdha: what is wrong with the one you're using? [23:07] pimperle: Tells my process to stop so it can close database connectins, persist data to database and all that [23:07] * pimperle uses xfce and xfce4-terminal [23:07] pimperle: why not try lubuntu its lighter tho [23:07] xsaidx: I don't know what shud start means, but I'm figuring it out now I think [23:07] Gentoo64, do I have a cloak [23:07] yes [23:07] pimperle" I don't know i had 4 open. 1 with pythong process, 2 with mono, and a 4th with unrar. It seems when that was done it died [23:08] meco: type sudo fdisk -l [23:08] and when one die, they all die. great design. [23:08] sweet! [23:08] ;) [23:08] scorinitron: type /whois scorinitron [23:08] Daghdha: usually that won't happen until the developer of your processes thought of the possibility to receive a kill [23:08] Hi there, I'm using Ubuntu 11.10, would like to get Gnome Classic, however having a few probs with deps: "apt-get install gnome-session-fallback" gives me unmet dependecy on gnome-session-common any ideas, or a faq link on how to get Gnome Classic working? [23:08] Gentoo64: can you please help me [23:08] Daghdha: you can use "top" to figure out which one of the processes goes rogue [23:08] whois scorinitron [23:08] with the / [23:08] pimperle: gnome-terminal [23:08] xsaidx: i cant :( [23:08] Daghdha: and you can use "kill PID" where PID is the first column in top [23:08] nothing happened? [23:08] scorinitron: look in the freenode window [23:09] Again, gnome terminal. [23:09] scorinitron: xchat puts them in there [23:09] It's a single process for all open terminals pimperle [23:09] Gentoo64: i jsut wanna see if its graphical issue or not but idk how to check [23:09] Daghdha: i'm not sure if gnome-terminal ... ah, that explains it [23:09] xsaidx: im really not sure [23:09] thanks [23:09] i use xfce and xfce4-terminal [23:09] Gentoo64: okies thanks [23:09] xsaidx: if its working now.. try rebooting ? [23:09] you can try xterm, i think i've heard of aterm [23:09] uxterm is black on white, wich i hate. [23:09] pimperle is xubuntu xfce? I installed it, and I can use either "xfce" or "xubuntu".. what is the dif? === Logan_ is now known as Log [23:10] Perhaps i better just google how to change taht [23:10] Daghdha: use .Xdefaults [23:10] when I run "sudo mount /dev/sda /mnt/windows" I get this error: mount: /dev/sda already mounted or /mnt/windows busy [23:10] Gentoo64: haha im afraid to face again the same things i've been tryin to to turn on/off for almost 40 minutes :P [23:10] RedAshes: good question, i never understood the difference between the two but use xubuntu here [23:10] how come /etc/sysconfig/networking restart doesn't seem to really restart the network? It's always bothered me. On Fedora, I used to see it shut down, get reconfigured, then start back up. [23:10] can xfce do copy paste? [23:10] xsaidx: ah i guessed :) have you no other pc? [23:10] Daghdha: yes, of course [23:10] Gentoo64: yesh thats why [23:10] uxterm can't [23:11] oh [23:11] Daghdha: what are you looking for? [23:11] craigbass1976: you mean /etc/init.d/ [23:11] craigbass1976: but that is no longer used in ubuntu. use "sudo service networking restart" [23:11] !upstart | craigbass1976 [23:11] iceroot, oops, yep [23:11] craigbass1976: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [23:11] a terminal that makes seperate process per terminal. unlike gnome-terminal. so when ir crashes not all open processes die with it [23:11] Fresh install of ubuntu 11.10 server, after after it picks up OS Monitors goes into Cannot display this video mode??? But I can ssh into it. [23:12] when I run "sudo mount /dev/sda /mnt/windows" I get this error: "mount: /dev/sda already mounted or /mnt/windows busy". But there's nothing in /mnt/windows. Any suggestions? [23:12] Daghdha: sounds like you want "terminator" for the multi-terminal-thing [23:12] Daghdha: afaik urxvt does [23:12] pimperle I'm currently using xubuntu here, it's ok but there are some things in gnome which are better, like the clock which gives you weather info as well as the date and time based on ur exact location [23:13] meco, the correct version of the command will have a partition number. you have to determine that first with some other tool (inspecting /proc/partitions or using parted) [23:13] RedAshes: xubuntu should tell the right date... [23:13] meco, or use whatever gui disk management tools come with openbox [23:13] RedAshes: have a look at xfapplet, which lets you add gnome applets to xfce [23:13] meco: you need a number after sda.. sda1 or sda2.. etc [23:13] as for the weather, look out the window maybe? [23:13] however i don't know if it handles unity applets [23:14] iceroot: I read terminal page, i don't see how i would benefit from that with regard to my current issue [23:14] meco: sudo fdisk -l will list the partitions seen and 'mount' will show you whats mounted and where [23:14] bastidrazor: OK, I see what I did wrong.. [23:14] Daghdha: i use urxvt and it seems to run in seperate processes for each terminal [23:15] COol. [23:15] its lighter and better imo [23:15] .. [23:15] meco: god deal [23:15] and smarter [23:16] There are so many programs & ways to modify the look & feel of my desktop but I don't know how to use them [23:16] Daghdha: well you can customize it more. [23:17] :) [23:17] Just has to work [23:17] Hello, I need help bringing up a DWL-G520 Atheros Wireless card in my Ubuntu server machine. :) [23:17] It is detected, says it has a driver, but nothing shows up under ifconfig? :D [23:17] I'm progressing but getting another error: Mount is denied because the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened. The volume may be already mounted, or another software may use it which could be identified for example by the help of the 'fuser' command. [23:18] I figured closing nautilus would unnmount the ntfs volume. Is there an unmount command that I need to give?

[23:24] [23:08] Hi there, I'm using Ubuntu 11.10, would like to get Gnome Classic, however having a few probs with deps: "apt-get install gnome-session-fallback" gives me unmet dependecy on gnome-session-common any ideas, or a faq link on how to get Gnome Classic working? [23:25] can anybody help me please to turn on managing of mouse by keyboard ? [23:25] now3d_, well classic does not exist. fallback looks like classic but is not classic, and is probably not enough for you. if you want fallback try installing gnome-shell first then installing the fallback [23:26] escott: Tried that. I get umet dep on gnome-icon-theme-full [23:27] now3d_, what version of ubuntu are you running? [23:27] escott: 11.10 (upgraded from 11.04) [23:27] now3d_, did you have gnome-shell in 11.04? [23:29] escott: I had classic.. Not sure if that is the same as gome-shell [23:30] escott: gnome-shell package is not installed currently [23:30] now3d_, no its different. something is messed up with your apt archive. make sure nothing is pinned, and try running apt-get check and apt-get -f [23:31] !buildingfromsource [23:32] hey I'm looking to improve my net speed.i want to get another wifi-N adapter.i'm thinking PCI anyhow whats the most powerful adapter that linux supports natively [23:32] i can't seem to find a native support list for linux [23:32] escott: thanks, apt-get check is ok, apt-get -f gives me unknown param message. [23:34] I have 11.10 installed on a new Intel server. I've redirected console output to the serial port in the BIOS and modified grub accordingly and created /etc/init/ttyS0.conf. Everything works and I get a login prompt on the serial port. But, it doesn't take any input. Any ideas? [23:34] now3d_, do you have anything pinned? [23:35] escott: My only other idea is to re-install.. often upgrades some to this! [23:35] Having troubles with NIS after upgrading to oneiric. ypbind -d shows I'm getting an RPC Authenticaion: Client cred too weak, error. Any ideas about what is going on, or how to debug it? [23:35] now3d_, or do you have any ppas that could be breaking things [23:36] escott: hmm, I've not knowingly pinned. I have disabled the auto updates of packages yesterday though. === Kyle is now known as Guest96720 [23:38] never mind my question. simple tcpwrapper problem. [23:39] now3d_, im not too familiar with debugging apt issues, so maybe someone else can help if you ask again later === zz_M4rc3l is now known as M4rc3l [23:40] escott: thanks for your Pinned tip. I re-enabled all updates, and the gnome-shell installs ok! [23:43] ok, logging out, thanks for help [23:47] can anybody help me please to turn on managing of mouse by keyboard ? [23:47] hi, how long does it need for "proposed updates" to appear in official updates channel [23:48] go8765, hit the windows key. type accessibility press enter [23:48] hi all. I'm using xkeycaps/xmodmap to use custom keymapping, but strangely enough I can't set my right arrow key. xev reports as noSymbol 114, but setting that in my xmodmap file or 73 (the hexa value) is not helping. Any ideas ? [23:50] escott, sorry... I cant understand what you mean [23:50] Hi! My USB has "bad superblock". Is there anyway too fix that? :) [23:51] go8765, so i dont know the exact answer to your question but it can be enabled/disabled in the accessibility menu which you can access by hitting the windows key and typing accessibility [23:52] bobosomfan, you can fsck the usb, but the usb could be going bad so this may just be temporary === LinoSP is now known as LinoSP|away [23:53] escott: I can't. It only says "Read-only filesystem" [23:53] escott, may be I bed describe my question... I need use mouse by keyboard, such as I have no mouse... (sorry I english is not my native and ) [23:54] scott: * [23:54] *I cant correct translaye your unswer :( [23:54] go8765, and that can be enable in the accessibility menu its called mouse keys [23:55] bobosomfan, so its read-only to protect the data that is on the stick right now because it assumes the stick is going bad and you will want to get the data off the stick. so do that first [23:55] escott, you mean hotkeys? or some properties-gui ? [23:56] escott, mouse keys - you mean hot keys or not? [23:56] bobosomfan, then umount the stick, and then fsck /dev/sdX# as appropriate [23:56] escott: I can't mount the stick [23:56] go8765, i dont know [23:56] The disk doesn't contain a vaild partition table [23:57] Hi guys [23:57] escott, you dont know what you mean when you answered me? :) [23:57] Is anyone good with swap partitions? I recently repartitioned my hard drive, and removed a swap partition in favor of a new one (I was resizing another one). Problem is, Ubuntu isn't using this new one. How can I get it to? [23:57] bobosomfan, if there is no partition table you can use testdisk to try and recover the data [23:57] BlueProtoman, is it listed in fstab [23:57] BlueProtoman: edit /etc/fstab and put in there your new partition [23:57] I want to make the internet explorer virtual in ubuntu, any ideas [23:57] francisvgarcia: wine [23:57] francisvgarcia: with winetricks [23:58] !appdb | francisvgarcia [23:58] francisvgarcia: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [23:58] go8765, go to the universal access application and the fourth tab is pointing and clicking and one of the options is mouse keys [23:59] escott, you mean in gnome-control-center? [23:59] iceroot: It's in there already, it's just not being used [23:59] go8765, what version of ubuntu are you running
