[00:00] escott, 11.04 [00:00] go8765, and yes it should be in the control center somewhere [00:00] BlueProtoman: any errors on "sudo swapon -a"? [00:00] escott: I'll try that, thanks! [00:00] iceroot: cannot find the device for UUID=(numbers, letters, etc.) [00:01] go8765, you might try the accessibility channel. im just guessing at where these things are [00:01] BlueProtoman, use blkid to find the correct uuid [00:01] BlueProtoman: then you are not using the correct UUID [00:01] if u want to set the clock to utc, do u have to change it in bios [00:01] iceroot: I have the UUID, I just can [00:01] ? [00:01] I just can't be bothered to copy/paste it given how awkward it is on the terminal. [00:01] BlueProtoman: can you paste the fstab entry and the output of the blkid command? [00:01] Hm, OK. [00:02] escott, I have many problems with gnome-control-center: I use openbox under ubuntu and It conflict with gnome-settings. can I turn off this options in other way? === luciano_ is now known as virusuy [00:02] I was just wondering if there was something like zenapp for ubuntu, free of course [00:02] iceroot: http://pastebin.com/RTPKXwcR [00:03] francisvgarcia: not "xenapp"? [00:03] *on [00:03] BlueProtoman: you are using the wrong uuid === OffToHades is now known as BarkingFish [00:04] BlueProtoman: or do you see the uuid in the blkid command? [00:04] iceroot: I do, yes. [00:04] BlueProtoman: what? [00:04] BlueProtoman: your swap uuid is /dev/sda7: UUID="2cc6614a-3265-432f-8738-23c6d4e1bb1d" TYPE="swap" but you are using UUID=8b0a7214-a8d7-4587-984a-b0bddbf4eb5f none swap sw 0 0 [00:05] I see the UUID in /etc/fstab as well as blkid. They don't match up for /sda6, though. [00:05] BlueProtoman: swap is sda7 [00:05] Hm, odd. [00:05] Ah, OK, misread it. [00:05] Yes, it is SDA7. I thought it was PENDRIVE, the one below. [00:05] BlueProtoman: /dev/sda7: UUID="2cc6614a-3265-432f-8738-23c6d4e1bb1d" TYPE="swap" but that uuid into fstab [00:05] BlueProtoman: put [00:06] Add it, or replace sda6? [00:07] BlueProtoman: replace UUID=8b0a7214-a8d7-4587-984a-b0bddbf4eb5f none swap sw 0 0 with the uuid 2cc6614a-3265-432f-8738-23c6d4e1bb1d [00:07] BlueProtoman: because that is the new uuid of your swap partition [00:07] OK, then. [00:08] It's read-only. [00:08] Guess I'll have to sudo it in. [00:08] BlueProtoman: what? [00:08] BlueProtoman: ah ok, yes [00:08] hi all, if i upgrade to 11.10 will i loose all my documents etc? [00:08] BlueProtoman: you need sudo to edit /etc/fstab [00:08] sp4z: no [00:08] sp4z: but having a backup is always a good idea [00:08] I'll just save it to desktop and sudo copy it. [00:08] BlueProtoman: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab [00:08] iceroot, thnx [00:10] iceroot: I sudo copied it. Will I have to reboot to get the swap partition? [00:10] BlueProtoman: "sudo swapon -a" [00:10] BlueProtoman: no reboot needed [00:10] Ah, it works! Thank you very much! [00:10] BlueProtoman: no problem [00:11] Hey folks, I've tried diving into the D6 i18n module this afternoon and am getting bogged down. What I'd like to do (amongst other things) is take specific CCK fields and have have them translated into French. I see the i18ncck submodule, but can't find any documentation anywhere. Does anyone have some pointers on where to start on my i18n quest? [00:11] hello ubuntu crew! [00:11] (Toying with the i18ncck module without dir produces no result whatsoever) [00:11] dammit, wrong channel, sorry folks. === GhostFreeman_ is now known as GhostFreeman [00:13] i have a question. i downloaded this file to install parallels: parallels-desktop-4.0.6630.449744.run what do i do with it? double click opens it in an editor (but it crashes). its 140mb, its not a text file. [00:14] lexflex: isnt parallels some strange apple-stuff for mac osx? [00:14] iceroot: it's actually not strange but pretty good. however, i downloaded the explicit Parallels Desktop for Linux [00:14] lexflex: everything related to apple is strange (but that is another topic) [00:15] lexflex: chmod +x filename.run then you can use ./filename.run [00:15] iceroot: hey i just finally installed ubuntu on my macbook pro to get away from mac os x ;) [00:15] lexflex: great, buying expensiv apple-hardware to run another system :) [00:16] iceroot: i bought this macbook a year ago with good hopes. [00:16] you run it. [00:16] chmod +x foo.run [00:16] ./foo.run [00:16] lexflex: but related to your real question, make it executable with chmod +x file. after that you can run the file with ./filename [00:17] dr_willis: way to slow :) [00:17] iceroot: can i make it executable in permissions window of the file? [00:17] Does anybody know how to format usb that only has read-only mode? [00:17] lexflex: yes [00:17] in unity 11.10, how do i view open applications? [00:17] iceroot: excuse me i am not hardcore ;) [00:17] Anyone? in unity 11.10 how do I view open applications or windows [00:17] lexflex: you dont need to be hardcore to run ubuntu :) [00:18] iceroot: but then, how do i run it? is there any way to assign it correctly so it runs with double click? or do i have to use terminal? [00:18] lexflex: what are you trying to do again? [00:18] lexflex: double-click should ask "view the file or execute it" [00:18] iceroot: that's actually why i am giving it a shot. i think it could be simple enough for me [00:18] learn/use the cli.. its faster [00:19] iceroot: hey this works! [00:19] lexflex: what are you trying to run? just asking [00:19] hhhzzzarn: i had a .run-file that opened in editor. it is parallels-desktop-4.0.6630.449744.run [00:20] i see. right-click, make it executable, double click, and then run. [00:20] hhhzzzarn: yea this worked out well. that's the dummie way i was looking for [00:20] anyone? how do i view all open windows in unity? what is the shortcut or what do i click? [00:20] lexflex, that is not dummy way, it is the gui way. [00:21] dr_willis: related to your comment :) i found this funny thing http://i1096.photobucket.com/albums/g328/jimbrittain/weuselinuxbecause.jpg [00:21] lexflex: the shell (bash) on ubuntu is acting the same way as on mac osx (just for the recorf if you used the shell on mac osc) [00:22] iceroot: that is gnu/linux. [00:22] hhhzzzarn: ? [00:22] iceroot: yes i did, i'm not unfamiliar with ti [00:22] it* [00:22] guys how do i set the default sound card on xubuntu ? i tied asoundconf-gt-gtk but i doesent work. [00:22] gui for a .run may or may not work... it depends on how the .run works... safest to use the cli [00:22] that image mentions only linux, it is correct to say: gnu/linux. [00:22] hhhzzzarn: #debian they like that kind of discussion [00:23] :) [00:23] iceroot: not discussion...;] some other term... [00:24] no one can help me? this should be easy for unity users, how do i view all my open windows in unity 11.10? I use gnome-shell, but currently on unity 2d for some reason. [00:24] hhhzzzarn: alt + tab? [00:24] i do not want to alttab [00:25] how do you wamt yo view them? [00:25] alt tab is for switching. there should be something that shows all open windows. gnome-shell view all open windows when you click on launcher home button. [00:25] <64MAA2DVH> I did a zerofill and a reformated a entire 1TB disk, but now, in ext2 partitions, I can't create a directory with dolphin ... msg is Access denied to /media/722834cd-2063-499e-9446-893d41cd60c8/New Folder. ... before this full reformat it works normally.... [00:25] hhhzzzarn, left windows key and A [00:25] does anyone know a good software to run virtual machines on (windows server to be exact) on ubuntu? [00:25] i used parallels on mac and vmware on windows [00:26] left widows key plus A gives me no result. [00:26] 64MAA2DVH: you did set the owner and permissions on the fs? [00:26] too bad [00:26] lexflex: vbox [00:26] lexflex: virtualbox? [00:27] !vbox | lexflex [00:27] lexflex: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [00:27] lexflex: sudo apt-het install virtualbox-ose [00:27] lexflex: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose [00:27] hm, is it still called ose? [00:27] !info virtualbox-ose [00:27] hey guys good evening I'm been having a problem with ubuntu for a while, just been too busy to fix it but I can't boot up into ubuntu anymore. I get an "error" I guess that says "cannot enable port 1. maybe the usb cable is bad?" and "unable to enumerate USB device on port 1." Thing is, I dont have ANYTHING plugged in via USB, even my keyboard and mouse are oldschool like that. So how do I go about to finally get back on ubuntu?? [00:27] virtualbox-ose (source: virtualbox): transitional package for virtualbox. In component universe, is optional. Version 4.1.2-dfsg-1ubuntu1 (oneiric), package size 21 kB, installed size 132 kB (Only available for amd64 i386 all) [00:27] iceroot: wrong spelling. just tell him to go to the sofware center and type: virtual box [00:28] hhhzzzarn: tell him yourself [00:28] virtualbox only has 1 version now [00:28] ubottu: iceroot: what about x64? [00:28] lexflex: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:28] to get the extension go to virtualbox.org [00:28] lexflex: sudo apt-get will automactly install the correct version for your architecutre === Log is now known as Logan_ [00:28] <64MAA2DVH> dr_willis: I just pluged HD and try to open via kde places === 64MAA2DVH is now known as chronos [00:28] lexflex: vbox can also run x64 systems as guests (if cpu is supporting it) [00:28] andys, ask dr willis [00:29] iceroot: just because ubottu three said x86 that confused me [00:29] hhhzzzarn, what's the policy on PMing here? I dont want to be inpolite [00:29] you can also run 64bit guests from 32bit hosts if the processor will allow it [00:29] lexflex, ubut is automatic. :) [00:29] lexflex: in that case she means x86/x64 [00:29] 32bit host installs' [00:30] i don't think some people want pm since they want others to also contribute. and learn at the same time. [00:30] hhhzzzarn: correct === VoX is now known as vox [00:30] hhhzzzarn, would that also be DRW_? [00:31] iceroot: ubottu is a girl? [00:31] lexflex: female bot, yes [00:31] lexflex: lol [00:31] ubottu, is a devil girl [00:31] bandit5432: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:31] see what i mean [00:31] !gender [00:31] yes, I can confirm I am a female bot :) [00:31] andys, dr_willis, it is better if you go to forum since you get more hardware related solutions. [00:32] hey is virtual box actually free? [00:32] lexflex: it has free version. [00:32] lexflex: free as in free beer [00:32] No one said the Chinese:-! [00:32] i tend to use askubuntu.com these days [00:32] lexflex: imo the current version from oracle is not free (as in free speech) [00:33] !free [00:33] freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [00:33] does ubuntu recognize askubuntu alternative to forum? [00:33] so I take it nobody else knows how to fix this issue? :o [00:34] Andys, well some of those problems are rare. [00:34] and you don't have specialists here :) [00:34] chronos: if you are acessing ext2/3/4 as a user you should set the ownership and permisdions as needed [00:34] iceroot: hhhzzzarn: hey it's in ubuntu software center. i don't even need that terminal apt-magic [00:34] lexflex: correct [00:34] this is pretty cool i must say [00:34] dr_willis: when create the partition of format partition? [00:34] lexflex: i told you it was there. you must ahve missed it. [00:35] lexflex: but its easier to descripe "sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose" instead of "click here and here and here, type that, click here" [00:35] and a lot of people prefer the apt-get method [00:35] !permissions | chronos [00:35] chronos: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [00:36] !unity | hhhzzzarn [00:36] hhhzzzarn, please see my private message [00:36] iceroot: yes but the latter does not frigthen me that much [00:36] thx dr_willis, I know well permissions, but never have seen that with disks [00:36] when installing ubuntu server is there a way to have it install grub and linux with "nospash" [00:36] I'll check tune2fs properties. [00:37] Is there a text editor (in linux) with syntax highlighting that allows you to upload files via FTP? similar to Coda or Dreamweaver? [00:37] seion, always, but i wouldn't know. you might want to search it online. [00:37] seion: /etc/default/grub [00:37] seion: there you can edit it after the installation [00:37] space-Duck, what language you using? [00:38] seion: vim, emacs [00:38] seion: wrong nick [00:38] Space-Duck: vim and emacs [00:38] mostly PHP, but HTML, CSS, Perl, Python, TCL [00:38] iceroot, well I can't see anything because stupid ass grub2 is messed boots and says unable to display mode or something [00:38] space-duck: there is option for gedit to change theme, and also other plugins. [00:38] I mostly need the upload to FTP thing [00:38] i was using it for java. [00:39] seion: when booting press shift to enter grub, then choose what you want to boot and press "e" for edit [00:39] seion: again wrong nick.. [00:39] Space-Duck: when booting press shift to enter grub, then choose what you want to boot and press "e" for edit [00:39] For example when I finish coding in dreamweaver, I can hit ctrl+u and it uploads [00:39] ice-root: space-duck is the wrong person? [00:40] hhhzzzarn: to late for me... thx [00:40] iceroot, i hold down shift and says loading grub then goes right into that cannot display mode [00:40] I would love to use gedit to do this.... but I don't see how it can be done [00:40] seion: hm [00:41] space-duck: [00:41] http://www.micahcarrick.com/gedit-html-editor.htmlhttp://www.micahcarrick.com/gedit-html-editor.html [00:41] iceroot, i was able to ssh into at first but now its getting stuck somewhere [00:41] seion: boot the system and connect with ssh? [00:41] iceroot, and now I cant tell because i have no display [00:41] seion: :( [00:41] seion: i dont know a better way then using a live-cd and editing that grub-line [00:41] Help me restore dragging and selection by mouse please [00:42] one last thing i don't understand: how is anyone making money (i.e. paying their bills) from this ubuntu? [00:42] go8765: touchpad? or a real mouse? [00:42] iceroot, yea tried that and cant get the hd's to mount properly.... i guess i have to reinstall the whole thing ... [00:42] iceroot, real mouse [00:42] space-duck: did you visit the link i provided? [00:42] iceroot, never use touchpad [00:42] go8765: sorry just know a bug on touchpads for this [00:42] seion: any errors while mounting? [00:43] hhhzzzarn, Yes, thank you that is exactly what I was looking for... the only problem is: [00:43] iceroot, yea stuff about bad superblock [00:43] GnomeVFS, the framework on which this works, has some bugs and possibly security issues when working on non-secure FTP connections. [00:43] lexflex: support, third party services (music store) but most of us are doing it for free [00:43] lexflex: we dont get money here for helping or when we are coding/patching [00:44] space-duck: i can't be more help to you then that, search online for more solutions atm. [00:44] seion: bad superblock is really bad [00:44] iceroot, lol yea [00:44] seion: its not a hardware-issue but its bad [00:44] any ideas how to restore my mouse usage ? [00:45] iceroot: so you basically work for freE? [00:45] lexflex: yes [00:45] go87: what did you to change it? [00:45] iceroot: how do you pay your bills? [00:45] lexflex: with my real job [00:46] lexflex: he meant, he works here to help others free. [00:46] lexflex: this is just fun for me to give something back to the community which is giving me a product [00:46] lexflex: before i worked for a linux-distributor. we made money with services to customers but the softare was always free (as in free beer and free speech) [00:47] helping is so addicting :) once i was into teamviewer support for another forum and i was it to show off my desktop. :) [00:47] iceroot: i see. i was wondering if there is money to be made with open source software, because you have to pay programmers somehow i guess [00:47] hhhzzzarn, nothing/or dont remeber :) in openbox all work good, but in gnome session - I cant use mouse to 100% [00:47] using* [00:47] how do I reset wireless in ubuntu [00:48] lexflex: what irc client are you using? empathy is not so good, everything is the same color. [00:48] lexflex: e.g. many linux-developers are from other companies (ibm, intel and so on) there companies are interested to make linux better(e.g. for there products) so they pay them to work on linux [00:48] how do I reset wireless in ubuntu [00:48] ? [00:48] excelsior: reset? [00:49] restart it, when it glitches, without rebooting my computer [00:49] hhhzzzarn: XChat [00:49] excelsior: enable wireless, disable wireless does not help? [00:49] gui never works right [00:49] true. [00:50] hhhzzzarn: i have not made any changes in preferences. just connected [00:50] lexflex: there was a good article on debian.org about your question why everything is free and how it works. cant find it at the moment [00:50] i forgot the command. where you could turn off and turn on the wireless hardware. [00:50] I wish everything in the gui had a note regarding how to figure out how to manipulate the function with the command line. [00:50] lexflex: what ubuntu version are you using? [00:50] just a suggested man page would be nice [00:51] any ideas about mouse dragging that dont work ? [00:51] iceroot: like google pushing wine so they don't have to port chrome or something like that i heard? [00:51] hhhzzzarn: latest i think: 11.10 [00:51] excelsior: you can't find that command on man page. [00:51] but [00:51] lexflex: e.g. blizzard is working on wine so they dont have to build wow and so on native [00:52] iceroot: can you actually play games with this wine?

[01:02] After changing grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT option to Profile the bootchart doesnt work, if i go back it works. but i cant see if it loads faster that way :D any toughts why it doesnt work? [01:02] lexflex: you gave it 6GB [01:02] excelsior: the last comment on this page http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1829796 [01:02] how do you control the timing of the unity side bar? it pops up to easily and blocks my view, it's too sensitive... === doug__ is now known as Guest37623 [01:02] iceroot: maybe i am drunk but i could swear i set it to 15.00gb [01:02] hylian: ccsm toom has settings for it [01:03] anyone on 11.10 running vbox? the windowing is kind of troublesome with vbox guest. it was alright in 10.10 [01:03] !ccsm [01:03] To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' (or 'simple-ccsm' for pre-Oneiric).

[01:03] lexflex: drunk :) [01:03] sudo service network-manager restart Seems to be the working version? [01:03] I know it sounds strange, but just wanted to see if I could run VLC [01:03] Steak: yes [01:03] Steak: live cd, installs them to ram. [01:03] Steak: but of course its lost after a reboot [01:03] dijonyummy, just resize the window min then max [01:03] iceroot: but there are those other partitions. udev, tmpfs, none and none. they are not mac (OSX) nor windows (BOOTCAMP). alltogether they are about 15gb. [01:04] dr_willis, thanks, i'll take a look at that. [01:04] lexflex: hm, 4GB /dev? [01:04] lexflex: you made that by hand? [01:04] can i put networking to be background process on start up? [01:04] iceroot: I figured that, but unless I get a power outage or something I usually reboot once per month. And I just had some hardware crash on me, so until I can pick out & wait for parts to get here, I'd consider it worth it [01:04] iceroot: no, i let ubuntu install assistant do that [01:04] bandit5432: do you use seamless, or full, or scale. also seems a bit harder to switch from guest os to ubuntu host app quickly. any more tips? [01:04] Loptr: clarify that question a bit more [01:05] dijonyummy, i think i use seamless [01:05] lexflex: hm i dont know why /dev and /run/shm take that much space, sorry [01:05] It's the Dr.! [01:05] ? [01:05] iceroot: should i delete them? :) [01:05] /run and /dev are special ;) [01:05] dijonyummy, i dont use unity or gnome-shell so that makes a diffreence [01:05] lexflex: no [01:05] dr_willis, google has nothing on "ccsm toom", even when I add ubuntu as one of the keywords. [01:05] shm is system memory. i think [01:06] dijonyummy, let me boot a vm what guest are you having issues with? [01:06] dr_willis, Is there a way to modify the Networking “start case” into a separate method so it can be run as a background process on the start up. I heard the os boot little faster that way [01:06] dr_willis: some kind of to big i think [01:06] hylian: you overlooked the bot's !ccsm it said... [01:06] !ccsm : Loptr [01:06] dr_willis: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:06] dijonyummy, also did you install the extensions for the guest?

[01:16] xangua, both options exist in 11.10. unity does not equal unity 2d, so your answer doesn't help.

[01:18] xangua, they are 2 different pieces of software. I am not asking if it's 2d or 3d.

[01:41] bandit5432, just to share. browsing is working fine. Installed samba and i didnt seem to find an option to share a folder like the one on nautilus [01:41] hylian, think you can just set ccsm back to its unity defaults [01:42] thunar-share no longer works because of broken dependencies [01:43] hello all, is empathy msn account working for you?

[01:57] gotcha now [01:57] robin0800, dconf refuses to launch, whether in the menu, or in the terminal... i installed via apt...

[02:50] Roasted, setting up fog [02:50] bandit5432, FOG is an outstanding product. I've imaged about 5,000 systems with it. Nothing beats it. [02:50] bandit5432, the problem is Ubuntu continually changes up crap which causes FOG to have to continually re-vamp their setup scripts. [02:50] Is there similar command in mirc? looks like /ignore is not working... [02:50] bandit5432, it's actually quite brainless to set it up. As you can see, this is not a FOG problem. It's a DHCP problem. [02:50] Roasted, yes and things have to be in certain spots for fog to work correctly [02:51] bandit5432, again, that's a problem with Ubuntu continually changing crap. [02:51] bandit5432, I've used FOG for years. It's nothing short of beautiful. But each release of Ubuntu introduces new BS to overcome. [02:51] Roasted, then why not stick with a lts release? [02:51] bandit5432, I could, but I had a 11.10 laptop handy and I wanted to demo it. Now I'm so ticked at this thing I'm determined to get it working. [02:52] Roasted, i understand that [02:52] any idea why u cant connect when u use torify xchat [02:52] bandit5432, it'd be nice if FOG was a darn .deb... [02:52] roasted have you tried a reboot?

[02:57] Roasted, thats the /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf didnt come back? [02:57] Am I the only one that's noticed nautilus-dropbox is completely busted? [02:58] bandit5432, dhcp3 exists in /etc, but the only thing inside is dhclient-enter-hooks.d [02:58] Roasted, where you editing the /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf not the /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf file? [02:59] bandit5432, yes. one of the links I read said to do that (I think it was one you may have linked??) [02:59] bandit5432, /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf does not exist. [02:59] Roasted, that might be the problem [02:59] is there like a ctrl alt X to kill a current process or something please help [03:00] Roasted, or not let me install it real quick [03:00] anyone proffisional data recovers here? [03:00] norway, you can ctrl+c to kill some [03:01] thanx i tried that though :-( [03:01] anyone good with recoverying lost partitions from external hd? [03:01] norway, or ctrl+alt+f1 login and ps -A to find the name of what you want ti kill [03:01] then sudo kill ## of process to kill [03:01] What's the proper way to add a directory to where the linker is searching?

[03:10] or what phlak_user said norway: just launch a terminal (gnome-terminal or xterm) and type ps -fe | grep name-of-process ; once you know the process name and PID, you can either type killall -9 process-name or kill -9 PID (if process owned by your user) else use sudo [03:10] phlak_user: It was already in one of the .conf files, but ldconfig -v fixed it [03:10] bandit5432, you are AWESOME. what made you think of ltsp?

[03:17] josh_: the same PrtSc [03:17] ah [03:18] or alt+printscreen [03:18] do i still have to paste it into a paint file or is it stored automatically? [03:18] any one know of any dj mixer programs? [03:18] josh_: it asks you [03:18] josh_, should ask where you want to save it [03:19] or alt+printscreen only prints the active window prinsreen does all screen [03:19] Revo_Truth63: ultramixer DJ [03:19] anone know of a good speech recognition prog?

[03:20] javier, test your speed at "speedtest.net" is it the same under windows? [03:20] josh_, thats on your computer you have to upload it to a picture service for us to see [03:20] josh_: thatis a link to your filesystem ; pl post it where we can see it [03:20] Oh derp.

[03:24] eveyone good luck solving your problems, i have to go to sleep. [03:24] command line [03:24] i'm a remote guy [03:24] Ah [03:24] I've tried fdisk [03:25] but get a message when I do mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1 that it is already in use :\ [03:25] and it isn't mounted [03:25] Hi! I have a little problem with upgrade... My girlfriend have ubuntu lucid and when i type 'sudo do-release-update -d' i get "An upgrade from 'lucid' to 'precise' is not supported with this tool." Can anyone help my? [03:25] tash: Most of my partitioning has been done through the ubuntu installer, or using sfdisk to copy another drive [03:26] http://i43.tinypic.com/2v9oqxi.png [03:26] javier_, you are not alone in this issue [03:26] pnorman: darn [03:26] Can anyone tell me how to specify a window size when opening a program in the terminal? [03:26] this shouldn't be that hard [03:26] tash: My recollection is you need to make the partition then format it as ext4, it doesn't look like you've made the partition yet [03:26] I deleted it [03:26] tash you tried just rebootig, and trying the mkfs then? [03:27] tash: make sure theres no fstab entries for the hd first [03:27] bandit5432, really? you found posts with people in the same situation? Did they find anything to solve it? [03:27] dr_willis: no I haven't rebooted after creating the partition, then mkfs .. didn't even think of it [03:27] Someone know how to update from lucid? [03:27] dr_willis: will try that next [03:28] !windowsize [03:28] ÇÏ¾Ì [03:28] !window size [03:28] Window Size in Terminal | anyone? [03:28] javier_, try in a terminal echo "options ath9k nohwcrypt=1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf [03:28] -_-a [03:28] tash: if you just made the partition. the kernal may be using the old info. theres some resync command that may get if figured out [03:28] Layla, this would depend on which application you're launching. A lot won't allow you to do that. Check "man appname" to see if there are options to set the window size for a specific application [03:29] Layla: clarify the question. [03:29] josh_, the red gear in top right I think the system needs a reboot first [03:29] glebihan tdfsb === GNUdog|work is now known as iEeexpress [03:29] javier_, see this post http://askubuntu.com/questions/40876/how-do-i-get-an-atheros-ar9287-working [03:29] Ok thanks [03:29] Please!!! help!!! ;( [03:29] bandit5432, options ath9k nohwcrypt=1 [03:30] bandit5432, ok, i'll read that [03:30] dr_willis: I just created a primary partition, #1, on /dev/sdb so it is /dev/sdb1 ... just rebooted after making sure it isn't in fstab [03:30] I'll try the mkfs on a sec [03:30] Layla, ? [03:30] === iEeexpress is now known as iEexpress [03:30] dr_willis: /dev/sdb1 is apparently in use by the system; will not make a filesystem here! [03:30] ... ubuntu sucks... [03:30] [03:30] javier_, yes add it to /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf [03:31] It's a 3D filesystem manager [03:31] tash: weird. wonder how its using it with no fs. [03:31] chmiel: do you have an ubuntu-related support question? [03:31] i'm stumped, this is getting kind of urgent, not sure where else to turn [03:31] Roasted, did you get it working? [03:31] tash: there may be some force option to mkfs [03:32] dr_willis, what are we trying to accomplish? [03:32] jrib: i want only upgrade my GF's ubuntu from lucid... [03:32] dr_willis: man mkfs doesn't show any [03:32] Layla, as I said, check the application's manual to see if there are options to specify the window size [03:32] chmiel: if you have a support question related to ubuntu, please ask it. Other topics are not appropriate here [03:32] bandit5432: formating a fs. that says its in use.. when its not [03:32] There are none... :( [03:32] !upgrade | chmiel [03:33] chmiel: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [03:33] bandit5432, truth is, I don't really understand what am I doing. Shall I just write "echo "options ath9k nohwcrypt=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/ath9.conf"? [03:33] tash: try mkfs --help [03:33] tash: -F -F (yes, twice) will tell mkfs.ext4 to make a filesystem even if it appears to be in useor is mounted (man page warns this is truely dangerous) [03:33] Layla, then you won't be able to specify the window size [03:33] dr_willis, do they have a fdisk open on it? [03:33] jrib: i':) [03:33] bandit5432: he just rebooted. so id say no [03:33] :) [03:33] bandit5432, and it will add that line to "etc/modprobe.d/...? [03:33] rebooted into or from what? [03:34] javier_, echo "options ath9k nohwcrypt=1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf [03:34] javier_, will [03:34] pnorman: mkfs.ext4 -F -F /dev/sdb1 eh?

[03:35] nope, bare metal machine [03:35] tash, what does mount say? [03:35] tash: try mounting that fs now just to see if its allready formated [03:36] ;) and if its formated see id you can write to it. [03:36] who has been moving my windows around !! [03:36] bandit5432, ok, I did that. But terminal stayed like it's doing something and didn't finish. That state that goes to a new line but there is nothing written. And if you try to close terminal, it ask you if you really want to close because something is running. Is it ok? [03:37] dr_willis: here is the output of trying to mount it... mount: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member' [03:38] lvm? hmm... [03:38] bandit5432: http://pastie.org/2828985 [03:38] javier_, should be you need to reboot and see if it helps [03:39] bandit5432, yes, I'm good. THANK YOU [03:39] Roasted, woohoo [03:39] Is there a way to run a disk check on ubuntu(I have a hard disk drive connected to my computer via usb w windows partion) [03:40] hey there guise. I'm trying to install ubuntu in my laptop and did use the windows 7 disk manager tool to free some space in my disk, but this did turn all my partitions from basic partitions to dynamic partitios. I'm affraid to turn the 'puter off since I fear I might not be able to boot to windoze 7 from a dynamic partition? Am I wrong? will I be able to boot to windoze 7 from a dynamic partition? [03:40] tash, sudo umount -f /dev/sdb1 [03:40] #ubuntu-es [03:40] is it possible to play drm'd m4v on linux? [03:41] tash, if that does not work run sudo fuser -mu /dev/sdb1 [03:41] aeon-ltd: my experience... no. [03:42] where did tash go? [03:42] Fryne, you might ask a ##windows if you think you can spell it. [03:43] bandit5432, ey, I did it and it seems it works much better. I would have to try it longer and see if it really changed, but it seems better :) So, thanks! [03:43] urlin2u, u is soo funnies [03:43] javier_, no problem [03:44] bandit5432, :) [03:44] have a nice day [03:44] here guys, sorry [03:44] was trying something else, reading your thoughts now [03:44] javier_, you to [03:45] server irc.sorcery.net [03:45] success! ( I think ) [03:46] not with your last suggestion bandit5432...I found an article I was trying first [03:46] stay posted [03:46] ... [03:46] i mean, stay tuned [03:46] Is there a way to run a disk check on ubuntu(I have a hard disk drive connected to my computer via usb w windows partion) [03:47] KillaByte, if its ntfs not really [03:47] only way would be through virtualmachine? [03:47] you mean check a ntfs filesystem KillaByte ? [03:47] yes [03:48] KillaByte, you can boot to a windows rescue system and check it [03:48] checking for errors after crash [03:48] there are windows rescue/recovery iso's [03:48] that could do it [03:48] KillaByte, what vesrion of windows? [03:48] version' [03:48] 7 [03:49] do you have a url for the rescue disk? [03:50] KillaByte, looking right noe [03:50] now [03:52] stupid neowin version is not free any more [03:52] KillaByte, is this on an external drive? [03:52] any cross platform LAN chat utility there ? [03:52] LAN chat among different subnets [03:53] no..hdd from desktop [03:53] KillaByte, do you have a windows 7 disk? [03:54] finally got it [03:54] no..and i cant get to the recovery or safe mode [03:54] reference = http://etienneg.wordpress.com/2009/09/15/dev-is-apparently-in-use-by-the-system-will-not-make-a-filesystem-here/ [03:54] I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 AMD64 on a laptop with a nvidia graphics chip and the "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version current) [Recommended]" driver installed and in use. The user interface is very, very slow. Sometimes I see lag when I drag windows around. My cursor moves, but the window lags behind it. Scrolling in firefox is extremely choppy (like 1 update per second). Any ideas? [03:55] Actually, right now, I'm getting three or four updates per second while scrolling in firefox. Sometimes it gets so bad that it takes more than a second to update the page. [03:55] KillaByte, you can try hirens http://www.hirensbootcd.org/download/ [03:55] thanks bandit [03:56] KillaByte, no problem i didnt know that the neosmart rescue disk is not free now [03:57] I find the ubuntu install cd makes a fine rescue disc. [03:57] erpo, yes but i dont think it will check a ntfs disk for errors [03:59] How much difference is xubuntu than ubuntu?Is the software for ubuntu available for xubuntu? [03:59] KillaByte: available? yes. Neatly integrates? no. [04:00] bandit5432: Perhaps not. [04:00] erpo, i hope in the future that the ntfs support will be there wouldnt that be great [04:01] the only thing i miss from windows is the fps game A.V.A [04:01] bandit5432: I suppose. You may want to hook it up to the Internet and apt-get install ntfsprogs. Then you can use ntfsfix, which may be useful to you. [04:02] erpo, might work [04:02] KillaByte, what are you trying to get to work with the crashed drive? [04:04] I have a windows xp (pira**d) version i am going to install but wanted to clean it up some [04:04] O_O [04:04] KillaByte: Piracy is not allowed on this network, FYI. [04:05] i never said such a thing [04:05] fyi [04:05] :/ [04:06] KillaByte: You just said you have pirated Windows XP. [04:06] you can get a xp cd key off of computers in the trash and then install with a real xp cd [04:06] is it on this network ..no [04:06] lol [04:06] KillaByte: You're speaking about it on this network - that's what I meant. [04:06] yes. [04:06] i have a ripped dvd some where in my house [04:07] :0 [04:07] lol [04:07] serious question i cant get kernel 3.1 to boot [04:07] 2nd night here and i no one will help me [04:08] Hello everyone [04:08] bjrohan, hello [04:08] bandit5432: Well, currently 3.1 does not exist in any supported version of Ubuntu, so it's pretty reasonable that nobody here can support it, frankly. [04:08] ls [04:08] tonyyarusso, didnt ask for suport asked for help people on here are using it [04:08] i took a pen from the doctors office :( [04:09] KillaByte, what ever you do dont watch youtube videos [04:09] bandit5432: it is not being used by any Ubuntu version currently so it is not supported. [04:09] tonyyarusso, nvm looks like its a nvidia driver issue [04:09] why not???:) [04:10] is there a ubuntu hackers room that i can ask? [04:10] I am new to Linux and Ubuntu. I am running 11.10. I am having some difficulties. I have Windows Vista on my laptop, on which I then partitioned in Windows, and install Ubuntu, my problem is that in file manager I can acces the windows partition automatically (shows as 208GB) and mounts under media. [04:11] When I do an fstab, I only show my Linux partitions. I would like to have Ubuntu mount my windows partition on startup. How can I do this when fstab doesn't see it? [04:11] bandit5432: Not really. It's generally understood that if you want to run bleeding-edge unsupported software you have to be able to support yourself. [04:11] Hi does anyone know when a more reliable upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04 will be made available? [04:11] tonyyarusso, sorry i thought this was help not support [04:11] In ubuntu, the unity when you click the top icon that brings up where you can type an application you want to launch. That transparent box that comes up, it comes up full screen. Is there a way to change it so it doesnt take up the whole screen? like the box is smaller. [04:11] stow: when 12.04 comes out??? [04:12] bandit5432: um, same thing... [04:12] bjrohan, is that a wubi install? [04:12] Oh sorry I thought it was already out [04:12] urlin2u, what is wubi? [04:12] so when is 12.04 coming out? [04:12] you own the room tony??? [04:12] stow: 12.04 4th month 2012 [04:12] stow: The version numbers tell you the release date. 12.04 releases in April, 2012. [04:12] bjrohan, installed from windows. [04:13] urlin2u, I installed Ubuntu from an Ubuntu CD I burned [04:13] wow i thought this was a linux room [04:13] I put the ubuntu CD in and booted from it [04:13] bjrohan, you booted the cd right? [04:13] urlin2u yes [04:13] tonyyarusso, why did I just find a 12.04 Daily build of ubuntu then?? [04:13] so 11.10 has come out... thought I already had how do I check? [04:13] must have missed the rules on the way in [04:13] stow, Whilst I would advise against installing it just yet, daily builds of Ubuntu 12.04 (currently pre-pre-alpha) are available for download. [04:14] bjrohan: fstab doesn't "see" anything - it's just a text file. You would need to edit the file to include lines for the Windows partition. [04:14] bandit5432: try ##linux maybe they can help [04:14] <_Neytiri_> i have a problem, my clock dissapered from my bar and i cant put it back [04:14] Guest39700: Because Ubuntu has an open development process, so you can participate in developing and testing everything before it gets released. [04:14] yes I saw those and backed off from it because I don't have the skill. Is there a way to see if I have 11.10 now? I thought I did but maybe I don't? [04:14] pangolin, ty i guess [04:15] ##tonysux ass [04:15] sigh [04:15] stow: easiest way is to open a terminal and type lsb_release -a [04:15] thanks [04:15] stow: bring up system monitor, and go to the system tab is another way [04:16] or system > about ubuntu [04:16] IC. I just installed Storage Device Manager, which could see sda1, but had no info for it, but asked if I wanted to configure it, which I did, and it shows as being in /media [04:16] Is it normal to have another partition mount in /media? [04:16] /media is the file path [04:16] /dev/sdwhatever is the actual mount point [04:16] neat! I learn new things every day in here === devnu11_ is now known as CrashLogic [04:17] admiralshlorky: No, /dev/sdwhatever is the device. /media/whatever is a mount point. [04:17] oh, disregard that then [04:17] IC. How would I go about getting that partition to mount at boot-up? As of right now, I can only get it to mount when I onen File Manager and click on the 208GB link [04:18] terminal command didn't work maybe because I am running gnome3 desktop? [04:18] bjrohan, your description as having to access windows from media threw me off it is in the left panel of home. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab [04:18] stow: Commands have nothing to do with your desktop. What did you try? [04:19] ok second method worked I have 11.10 already === bandit5432 is now known as led-bandit [04:20] alright im taking the plunge trying out 12.04, just fresh installed today so if it breaks no biggy 20 mins and back to fresh install wish me luck lol [04:20] gl [04:21] have fun Guest39700 [04:21] urlin2u, thank you. One more item. I also havve Ubuntu running on another desktop in my home. Both computers connect to the internet via a wireless router connected to a router. I have set up Samba, and can access the other computer, however connected to that computer is a 1TB USB drive, that I can recognize via my laptop, but can not access, any ideas why? [04:21] bjrohan, I don't sorry. [04:21] I also havve Ubuntu running on another desktop in my home. Both computers connect to the internet via a wireless router connected to a router. I have set up Samba, and can access the other computer, however connected to that computer is a 1TB USB drive, that I can recognize via my laptop, but can not access, any ideas why? [04:22] Do I need to put this drive in fstab as well on that desktop? [04:23] bjrohan, for samaba see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Samba/SambaServerGuide especialy the part about sudo smbpasswd -a username [04:23] bjrohan, fstab only woks for mounting on the OS it is in, your description at least to me was convoluted as to what you want to do. [04:23] bjrohan, what do you need help with? [04:23] bjrohan, I'm really tired though. :D [04:24] I have samba setup, I can access the main drive and its files on the desktop from my laptop, with the exception of the USB drive, which is mounted on the desktop system also in the /media dir [04:25] unity really epic fail [04:25] I will read up on fstab and see if that will help. Thank you urlin2u [04:26] how hard is it to go back to gnome from unity? [04:26] !nounity | alien64 [04:26] alien64: 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 [04:27] nvidia quadro with latest quadro xserver driver does not playback many video types for me. either in smplayer or vlc. its a might higher version of nvidia driver than 173. also when i lightdm starts unity in oneiric half of the time, usually the first time, it fails to draw windows borders. when it doesn't redraw windows borders it also doesn't give me the launchbar on the left. my biggest problem of these all is i need video playba [04:27] ck. its a quadro fx1400 so it shouldn't be horrible. [04:27] alien64, you mean gnome 2? [04:28] i have all non-free codecs loaded. [04:28] urlin2u: i just wont unity to go bye bye its got to be the worst ui i have ever seen.. [04:28] i'm not sure how to fix the border either [04:29] alien64, you can try gnome 3 fallback [04:31] what happened to applets in classic gnome? it seems to have none in the current version [04:31] alien64, you have many choices the fallback a similar the gnome2 desktop or gnome 3 or xubuntu kubuntu or lubuntu amongst others, actually removing unity is not needd or advised just install another and at the login choose it. [04:32] mzuverink, alt and right click [04:32] robin0800, thank you [04:33] mzuverink, or super + alt and right click if compiz is running [04:36] robin0800, thank you, very helpful [04:36] <_Neytiri_> i have a problem, my clock dissapered from my bar and i cant put it back, anyone know how i can fix this?

But after the restart, im hung at the ubuntu screen with 5 dots [04:43] Can someone run `which rcs` and tell me if RCS is on your system? [04:44] pachl: what's RCS [04:44] * phlak_user revision control system [04:44] phlak_user: a really old revision control system [04:45] unable to switch to my other workspaces :( [04:45] any suggestion ? [04:45] pachl: it's in universe, but not installed by default [04:45] pachl: cool; so its not installed by default [04:46] !info rcs [04:46] rcs (source: rcs): The GNU Revision Control System.

[05:39] zetheroo: unless unity uses something other than xwindows [05:39] zetheroo: does it? [05:39] almost everything runs on xserver [05:40] jasonmchristos: I thought it still ran on xserver [05:40] then shouldnt have anything to do with unity [05:40] prob a driver [05:40] usually a kernel module [05:40] report your findings if you want to see it fixed [05:41] we are all doing free beta testing here [05:41] send in reports [05:41] moar reports!

[05:45] so 12 ports [05:45] configure them all statically then bring up the interface [05:45] the thing is im trying to avoid giving them statics [05:45] d3f4c3d: quadro nics or hub card ? [05:45] quad nics [05:45] then set them for dhcp [05:45] im using them with dynamips [05:45] i rather prefer not set up ip on them... but if theres no other way oh well [05:45] i think dhcp is the default [05:46] just bring them up [05:46] what does ifconfig show? [05:46] i remember it worked before and my network/interfaces file was minimal, only had eth0 statically assigend in them [05:46] all cards showing [05:46] just bring them up [05:47] my tap0 dissaperead though [05:47] they all up i think [05:47] no ip like i wanted [05:47] how can i keep them come up after restart [05:47] d3f4c3d: maybe its because of the tap [05:47] thats beyond ubuntu scope [05:47] naa dont thinkso [05:47] try networking help [05:47] hehe okay [05:47] thank :) [05:48] d3f4c3d: so what do you do with all those if's ?

Any ideas? [05:51] d3f4c3d: auto means its going to bring itself up on signal usually defaulted to dhcp [05:51] jasonmchristos, odd is i have auto eth1 throgh eth12 [05:52] soreau: wghat ? [05:52] and yet they not coming up automatically after restart [05:52] zetheero: what's your hardware config ? [05:52] d3f4c3d: check the drivers, did you upgrade or something ? [05:53] d3f4c3d: always keep a list of drivers and settings of the working config before upgrading [05:53] hmm this is what i have in my /etc/network/if-up.d/ [05:53] ntpdate openssh-server uml-utilities upstart wpasupplicant [05:53] jasonmchristos: For instance if you have a folder containing ascii text files, you can use 'grep -R "string" /path/to/directory' to search through all the files for "string". With odt files, this does not work so I'm trying to find another way [05:53] jasonmchristos, i wonder if i can add something there... [05:54] soreau: i think its because its not txt [05:54] d3f4c3d: they appear in "ifconfig -a" ? [05:54] ye [05:54] soreau: convert all to txt [05:54] d3f4c3d: the eth1-12 ? [05:54] i can manually bring them all up - but after reboot they not up [05:54] jasonmchristos: Do you have an easy way to convert odt to text ? [05:54] ok [05:54] shivhack, correct [05:55] d3f4c3d : wait [05:55] shivhack, :D patiently [05:55] soreau: check the repos or else write a macro o i forgot theres no macro for linux [05:55] u guys roxorz btw [05:55] * Naenyn sits on soreau [05:55] #bash is great for shell cript stuff [05:56] what can i take for my vision [05:56] d3f4c3d: make sure the cable is plugged and ther dhcp server is on [05:56] d3f4c3d: auto eth0 is to bring interfaces automaticallly, so they appear on 'ifconfig -a' [05:56] Naenyn: Knock it off.

[05:57] d3f4c3d: then hit 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' [05:57] can i avoid getting them to dhcp somehow [05:57] d3f4c3d: gve it a shot and tell me [05:57] i really rather not assign them ip ... [05:58] d3f4c3d: PS the ethX refers to eth1 to eth12 [05:58] yep [05:58] i already have auto setup for eth1-12 [05:58] but im missing something...since they still hiding from me on boot [05:59] soreau: looks good , there it is! [05:59] could second line look like : ifface ethX inet [05:59] with no dhcp on the end ? [06:00] d3f4c3d: put this lines for each interface 'iface ethX inet static', 'address 192.168.3.90', 'gateway 192.168.3.1', 'netmask 255.255.255.0', 'network 192.168.3.0', 'broadcast 192.168.3.255' [06:00] shivhack, thanks but is there hack/solution NOT to use ip on these interfacaces ?

[07:24] navatwo: can you login from a text console? (ctl+alt+f1) [07:24] navatwo, well... the usual: you should check the logs, determine the problem and fix it. Or just install another desktop environment if you think you need one. [07:24] navatwo: Have you tried the gnome fallback session or Unity 2D? [07:24] no the file was there. i just added a line to it to test, such as killall chrome to see if it triggered [07:24] Jordan_U: I can't get to either at the moment, and phlak_user I'm on a TTY using irssi [07:25] dijonyummy: are you on 11.10? [07:25] how would I go about restarting GNOME? [07:25] it has this in it... i dont know what it does... if [ -n "$IF_OPENVPN" ] then ... for vpn in $IF_OPENVPN; do $OPENVPN stop $vpn done fi [07:25] yes on 11.10 [07:25] navatwo: pressing alt+f7 should take you back to the graphics login [07:25] phlak_user: yes, I know that. But there is nothing there but the desktop [07:26] like the wallpaper. [07:26] :/ [07:26] dijonyummy: does it define the value of OPENVPN? [07:26] navatwo: you already have the desktop or the login screen? [07:26] phlak_user: its an issue of lack of window kit.. lol [07:26] *now [07:26] navatwo: did you do a normal install? [07:27] The panel is gone [07:27] navatwo, so you can start gnome but you don't get the panel? [07:27] and yes, phlak_user [07:27] yes it does; and its there /etc/init.d/openvpn [07:27] rumpe1: I am unsure if gnome even started.. [07:27] I have a desktop background, and I can change the image.. but there is no window kit [07:27] dijonyummy: ok, i dont have openvpn installed hence not that script [07:27] I guess I might as well restart the computer and see how it works [07:27] navatwo, gnome2 or gnome3? [07:28] dijonyummy: did you make the changes in the /etc/init.d script or /etc/network/if-up.d/openvpn script [07:28] in the if-down.d script [07:28] rumpe1: no idea, default [07:28] rumpe1: navatwo is using Ubuntu 11.10, which means that GNOME2 is not available (though GNOME3's fallback session is similar). [07:29] dijonyummy: ok; heres a forum post that might help you achieve something similar -> http://forums.openvpn.net/topic7746.html [07:30] what's the command to restart GNOME? [07:30] :s [07:30] navatwo: are you able to logout of the current session and get back to the login screen (unity/lightdm greeter) [07:30] phlak_user: no [07:30] I think a hard reset is in order.. [07:30] !reisub | navatwo [07:30] navatwo: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [07:31] Jordan_U: lol, I can't open a web page.. [07:31] navatwo: not necessary; just type sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm restart in the text console (or even sudo service lightdm restart) [07:31] okay, wasn't sure what the display manager was [07:31] I'm used to having compiz lol [07:32] !lightdm [07:32] navatwo: You only need to read the link if you want a detailed explanation. The factoid itself has all you need. [07:32] phlak_user: that did it. [07:33] haha, that took a lot of asking :P but thank you, all. [07:33] shame it did that on first boot :( [07:33] navatwo: cool [07:34] i found a more generic way. when the vpn is connected there's a process /usr/sbin/openvpn --remote vpnhost.com etc. i run a script that checks for that process every 2 seconds or so and then do what needed if its not in ps list [07:34] dijonyummy: ok === Fuchs is now known as Ersatzfuchs === Ersatzfuchs is now known as Fuchs === ecthiender_ is now known as ecthiender [07:42] just installed KDE, so good [07:44] What's the command to start the monitor configuartion tool in ubuntu?

On windows, top toolbar, or the panel on the left? Details are our friends. :) [08:17] Starminn: Dunno about that, the only reason i even suggested anything is because for some reason my preferences changed my output once [08:17] and i lost audio and had a hell of a time trying to figure it out [08:17] until i checked the most blatantly obvious thing possible. [08:17] Starminn, top and bottom toolbars [08:17] admiralshlorky: so you can help me? [08:17] admiralshlorky, He could play around with PulseAudio settings though, right?

If so, just ALT+F2 then "killall gnome-panel && gnome-panel" [08:18] admiralshlorky: :-( [08:19] sorry man D: [08:19] i wish i could [08:19] bkerensa, It is done. [08:19] check out what flatlined said evilkiss [08:19] Starminn: Might take a day or two for someone to have a look [08:19] i'm not really too experienced with sound issues though i have had them in the past [08:20] It's very strange problem, because than i restart ubuntu, so is back, but than I not use receiver some time, sound suddenly dissapear, but in pavucontrol the soundline is moving....very strange [08:20] bkerensa, Fair enough. I mean, I can always 'apt-cache search' and 'apt-get' in the mean time. I've gone without it for some time now, a few more days won't hurt anything. [08:20] bkerensa, Where does it submit to/where should I keep my eyes turned for action/questions/solutions? [08:20] i bet you probably just have the output device set wrong [08:21] Starminn: It will take you to launchpad [08:21] i just don't know how you would change that with the tools you're using [08:23] admiralshlorky: How output device is set wrong, if i have sound then rebooted, but suddenly sound dissapear [08:23] no clue, i've had the output device change randomly on me before [08:23] that's why i suggested checking out the sound preferences [08:24] for me, it usually changes it to the HDMI out, despite the fact that i've never used my computer with an hdmi cable, much less own an hdmi cable [08:24] Starminn, doesn't seem to work, i tried the commands separately in term and it said I didn't have gnome panel installed, so i apt-get install'd it, and there seems to be no change. [08:25] andrewlaptop, You are running something older than 11.04, right? [08:26] yeah, 10.4 [08:26] !resetpanel | andrewlaptop : (This will likely revert your panels to the default.) [08:26] andrewlaptop : (This will likely revert your panels to the default.): To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [08:26] I figured it out though, it was xfce4-panel [08:27] andrewlaptop, Oh, lol. Well like I said. Details are our friend. :) You may want to remove gnome-panel now in that case since you said you installed it [08:28] yeah, thinking i will, thanks. Im just troubleshooting really quick myself (Andrew's cousin/tech support) [08:28] please help me fix this issue i can't lock my screen and here is my settings http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/4421/lockhi.jpg [08:30] andrewlaptop, :) Well, when I used 10.10 (GNOME) the gnome-panel would go out on me every few weeks. Just "killall gnome-panel && gnome-panel" (or in your case xfce4-panel) fixed it. You could make a launcher for him called, "When-the-bars-hide" or something. [08:30] andrewlaptop, Of course, finding the cause is great, but...if not... :) Just a suggestion [08:31] Starminn, yeah, thought I made a shortcut with the commands for him, but it appears to have been "misplaced" [08:31] andrewlaptop, *facepalms* Heheheh.... Oh, cousins... ;) [08:31] also, not sure if there's a huge discrepency, but he's running xubuntu flavour. [08:32] andrewlaptop, If you remember the file name(s) there's always "find -name *whatyouremember*" [08:32] andrewlaptop, Also, Xubuntu support is in #xubuntu. (which is why I assumed GNOME panel) [08:32] andrewlaptop: -iname is case-insensitive too [08:32] *nods* Figured this channel would be a bit more lively, heard Xubuntu dev and maintenance hasn't been terribly active in a bit.

[09:09] ruby_on_tails: infact if you just right click a folder on your ubuntu desktop and select "share folder" you will be prompted to install userland sharing tools, and after restarting computer you can just share the folder that way. [09:09] hmm [09:09] ruby_on_tails: you might also need to allow samba rules with ufw : sudo ufw allow samba [09:10] ruby_on_tails: but that virtualbox shared folders is probably neater [09:10] samba looks tough [09:10] chroot, I see "Build your own cloud" here: http://www.ubuntu.com/business/cloud/overview [09:10] ruby_on_tails: only if you try to do it with 4 year old methods [09:10] chroot, Whatever you need, it's likely on the site. Just have to look [09:11] yes, i am on the going [09:12] how can i lock the /var/lib/lists [09:12] ruby_on_tails: just be aware, that when you install guest additions into a virtualised windows guest, it becomes "bound" to that virtual machine hardware combination (by virtue of the way windows works (or doesn't hoho) with hardware being switched around) [09:13] hi, what is Juju?

Is this a bug? [09:37] robertzaccour: others are reporting problems as well.

[09:40] Rakyth: yes [09:40] GeorgeJ: or download the file, edit it and then upload it back [09:40] what do I need from that url? [09:40] phlak_user: I see, allright. I asked because I thought there would be a faster alternative [09:40] Rakyth: Another option is to try the tool provided by the disk maker, like SeaTools ( bootable iso ) [09:41] I remember Ubuntu having "remote locations" a while back [09:41] it's a westerd nigital drive [09:41] western digital* [09:41] GeorgeJ: yes; thats a font-end for SMB/NFS/WebDAV/SSHfs etc [09:41] Starminn, thanks :) [09:42] phlak_user: Is it still available in Ubuntu 11.10? === Guest95720 is now known as nha [09:42] I remember it being available before Ubuntu 11.04(before unity) === nha is now known as Guest3771 === Guest3771 is now known as nha [09:42] so what am I doing now?

[09:44] what would I mount it to? [09:45] Rakyth: Burn to CD and boot from it [09:45] I can't burn it to a CD [09:45] phlak_user: how do i actually use that with [09:47] Rakyth: Then you need to follow the smarttools like, but you sound like you should get some sleep first [09:47] doesn't the tools need time? [09:48] Rakyth: I've not read the full details, only the index [09:48] phlak_user: I tried that but still denied [09:49] jon___: unfortunately, I havent used proftpd; you might have to try some combinations; [09:49] jon___: did you restart/reload the server after you changed config? [09:49] phlak_user: 550 upload.txt: Permission denied [09:49] phlak_user: yup restarted the server [09:49] jon___: is that error from proftpd logs? [09:50] phlak_user: nope its from my ftp client [09:50] jon___: can you tail the proftpd log file while doing this; you might get some more detailed messages [09:51] I can't connect to windows live messenger using empathy. Is this a bug? [09:52] hi everyone [09:52] so there's nothing I can do about my hdd on linux? [09:52] phlak_user: doesn't log anything there [09:52] robertzaccour: did you install the telepathy-butterfly package? [09:53] jon___: maybe you need to increase verbosity [09:53] Rakyth: The link has the information, but it need to be read an understood [09:53] when i do update manager, it now wants to update a lot of pulse stuff from Other repository, but get authentication error. not trusted. so how to workaround using update manager? [09:53] the ocelot upgrade was horrible for me and the system is very unstable for me now. So I am thinking about a reinstall now. I have / and /home/ on different partitions (same disk), so what would I loose when doing a clean installation over the / partition?

[09:54] Rakyth: sg_reassign does the move [09:55] phlak_user, looks like its already installed [09:55] Rakyth: This has come for the link I sent [09:55] so repeat that for every sector? [09:55] Yes, a script would be handy [09:55] i bet lots of people have that problem and dont know how, especially the users unity wants to target [09:55] yeah, since I have 900+ of those [09:55] phlak_user, its just not logging in. its doing that logging in thing but not logging in [09:56] with the circular motion like a wait symbol [09:56] says connecting now matter how long I wait [09:56] should I just log back in tomorrow with my list and see if I can get someone to write me a script for it? [09:56] robertzaccour: hmm; i dont use windows live; try this -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10003289&postcount=17 [09:57] is this the best way to do it, example: gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-key 51716619E084DAB9 [09:57] gpg -a --export 51716619E084DAB9 > jranke_cran.asc [09:57] sudo apt-key add jranke_cran.asc [09:57] gotta be some easier way than that to do for every signature thats invalid [09:59] phlak_user, thats the script I currently have, but thanks anyhow [09:59] robertzaccour: ok [10:00] phlak_user: anything else i can try? [10:00] Rakyth: smartctl -l selftest /dev/sda # let this test run over night [10:00] smartmontools won't install [10:00] jon___: looks like its not a proftpd error; is the admin user able to write into other users' directories locally? [10:01] sudo apt-get install smartmontools [10:01] i've done that [10:01] Rakyth: what was the error [10:01] phlak_user: if i login to ftp using userA i am able to write but if i login using admin I'm not able to write to userA's directory [10:01] jon___: i meant locally (without FTP) [10:02] phlak_user: its running as proftpd:nogroup [10:02] dpkg: error processing man-db (--unpack): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Processing triggers for ureadahead ...

[10:02] phlak_user: yup, sorry for not being clear in explaining. the problem is how should i solve that? :) [10:03] jon___: make them all part of the same group and allow group write on the home directories (not recommended) [10:03] Rakyth: sudo apt-get autoclean ? [10:03] then install smartmontools? [10:03] phlak_user: any better solution? the home directories are crowned by userA:userA. how do i let "admin" write to it?

(ubuntu 11.10, brttly uninstalled) [10:18] SkyNetMaster, :) [10:19] gabx, you could try: tail -f /var/log/dmseg, then unplug / re-plug your device, see what happens. [10:19] dmesg recognizes the device, lsusb does too ( and usbmon ). [10:19] guys how do i set the default soundcard on xubuntu ? i tried 'asoundconf-gtk' but it doesen't start [10:20] Thelmaria: dmesg gives me "new full speed USB device number X using ehci_hcdd" [10:21] deej1976: are you still here? [10:21] Rakyth: yes [10:22] "Smartctl open device: /dev/sda failed: Permission denied" is what it threw up [10:22] gabx: Hmm. Sorry, then - my serial-usb device appears under /dev/ttyUSB0. I'm not sure what more help i can give if the device isn't mentioned in dmesg. [10:22] Did you append sudo? [10:22] yes [10:22] well I was already root from sudo bash, do I need to use sudo still? [10:22] Rakyth: Nope [10:23] cat /proc/partitions , is the drive there? [10:23] huh [10:23] it's done already [10:23] it worked that 2nd time [10:23] Thelmaria: I've read of a bug regarding brttly daemon, but i've followed the instructions and unistalled it. dmesg shows the device, but gives me not more information but "new full speed USB device number 8 using ehci_hcd ) it is in lsusb and syslog recognizes it aswell. it seams just that the link to the device is placed elsewhere then ttyusb? not sure.. it's a bit annoying at this point to say the least.. thanks for your help. [10:23] Rakyth: Ok, [10:23] deej1976: where can I post the results? [10:24] pastebin.ubuntu.com [10:24] Thelmaria: the device is a "telldus duo" radio transmitter/reciever device.

[10:26] i thought i would be in /mnt [10:27] deej1976: that was all that came up [10:27] gabx: I'm not sure. Reading this (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2530096/linux-how-to-find-all-serial-devices-ttys-ttyusb-without-opening-them), it seems you could check /proc/tty for attached device information. That might help [10:27] How come phpinfo dosn't show gd even if php5-gd is installed long time ago? [10:27] Rakyth: sg_verify --lba=128625232 /dev/sda [10:28] and in 11.x, how do i get a terminal?

[11:42] sometimes sound also not playing when i unplugged my jack... [11:42] anybody help me [11:43] Onyx47: It was generated with ntfs-config.

[11:46] iceroot: http://paste.ubuntu.com/731930/ [11:46] go to system > preferences > sound > hardware [11:46] silv3r_m00n: check your router settings [11:46] then test the speakers that you normally use [11:46] just to make sure you know which is which [11:46] silv3r_m00n, local network or over internet? [11:46] iceroot: It keeps repeating that every two seconds. [11:47] Onyx47: over internet [11:47] direct IP address [11:47] then go to output and change it to the correct hardware [11:47] if that doesn't fix it [11:47] silv3r_m00n: Firewall between you and the remote server? telnet's a pretty insecure protocol, it should be blocked by default. [11:47] silv3r_m00n, you need to set up port forwarding on your router most likely [11:47] Thelmaria: but telnet IP 80 and 22 works [11:47] its not behind a router , it's a direct static IP to that remote machine [11:47] my ubuntu doesnt playing login sound.......sometimes it does not playing sound through speakers when i unplug my earphone [11:47] midhuno [11:47] read what i said [11:47] try it out [11:47] if it doesn't work [11:48] admiralshlorky: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:48] then ask again [11:48] my onboard graphics are supposed to support 1920 x 1080, but displays only lets me select much less, options? [11:48] I don't like Unity or Gnome 3. How do I get rid of this crap before I revert back to Mac OS X Lion? [11:48] my ubuntu doesnt playing login sound.......sometimes it does not playing sound through speakers when i unplug my earphone [11:48] i tried [11:48] Onyx47: Doesn't help, apart from not being able to access the mount as a normal user(non-root), I still can't delete the file, same error [11:48] is there some kind of firewall on the remote Ubuntu (11.10) where I need to enable the port 21 ? [11:48] iBoi: could try xubuntu kubuntu lubuntu [11:49] !notunity [11:49] 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 [11:49] iBoi: I had the same issue, I _REALLY_ hated Unity, but kept an open mind, turns out its not so bad [11:49] i think i need custom drivers for Z68AP-D3 (gigabyte) [11:50] but all their instructions are for windows [11:50] lolz [11:51] hello everybody [11:51] admiralshlorky, my speakers are working fine now but the login sound is not playing on startup....an no sound through speakers when i unplugged the jack [11:51] hmmmm [11:51] bonhoffer: Any settings in the bios to assign more memory to onboard graphics [11:51] idk then midhuno, sounds like it's switching your output whenever you unplug your speakers [11:51] deej1976: thanks, i'll look in that direction [11:52] admiralshlorky what 2 do then???

I'll look into that, hoping the driver(if it is a driver) is signed so it'll work under the 64bit version of w7 [12:08] iceroot: you mean my username (not root), and my password? [12:08] no clue I'm afraid [12:08] ziggyfish_: that sounds reasonable under ubuntu [12:08] ziggyfish_: yes, by default there is no root-password [12:09] nope [12:09] ziggyfish_: cups + user pwd? [12:09] yes, non of them work [12:10] iceroot: You ran out of clues? [12:10] F-3000: yes :( [12:11] I know I have the right passwords because I can su into root.

[12:30] jrib: I forgot, but I remember it had -d on [12:30] * tyteen4a03 is noob at ubuntu [12:30] tyteen4a03: now read what -d does [12:31] -d, --devel-release Check if upgrading to the latest devel release is possible [12:31] tyteen4a03: 12.04 is now the development version [12:32] iceroot: You got any idea how to reset cups into state where it is right after installing Ubuntu? Or suggestions how/where to search? I've googled it several times in long timespan, but I've never found anything that would reveal this simple information. [12:33] Hmm, my left mouse button has stopped working all of a sudden, I can move the mouse, the hovering is working(icons change colours), right click is working. Also, when hovering over the dash it does not pop up === Star_Light is now known as Kostas [12:33] dmb_, can you give any more info? [12:33] What could be wrong? [12:33] Hi guys. Is anybody able to sync an ipad (2) with ubuntu anyhow? I couldn't find anything working until now [12:33] shubbar: Nom- [12:33] sorry... no [12:34] Guest71183: er... bonnie is an io profiler [12:34] dmb_, sorry i just dont understand. will this help me clarify that my raid is setup correctly? [12:35] Guest71183: it will let you stress test your raid [12:35] Aldus : I have installed Windows in Virtualbox and Then INstalled Itunes and sync in that way..! [12:36] !ipod | Aldus [12:36] Aldus: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [12:36] Aldus: maybe something of that is working but the best solution is not to use apple-stuff [12:41] Hello...Is there utorrent available for ubuntu/linux ? I have downloaded the one from utorrent site..but unable to install it...Is there any gui based utorrent for ubuntu ? [12:41] can anybody help me with animation in libreoffice? I need to move text on straight laine, but it make little deviation. How I can fix this? [12:42] Amdpc, utorrent works through wine, for native clients I'm using qbittorrent and I'm quite happy with it [12:44] Onyx47 : Does the downloading starts as soon as th.torrent file is opened ? Because in utorrent it does but in Transmission it doesnt.. :( === adante_ is now known as adante [12:44] Amanas, [12:44] whoops === cantonic_ is now known as cantonic [12:45] Amdpc, depends on your browser settings, you need to set whatever client you use as default for .torrent files and choose open instead of save in FF/whatever browser [12:46] Thanks dude...! [12:46] nps [12:46] VirtualHost configuration can be added only in /etc/apache2/sites-available ? [12:47] searching, yes [12:47] can anybody help me with LO animation moving ? [12:47] There is nothing now in that file [12:48] go8765 Have you tried asking in channel #Openoffice.org [12:48] put .... and all done? [12:49] searching, yes, and also you'll need to edit /etc/hosts so you can access it [12:50] ok thanks === ecthiender_ is now known as ecthiender [12:51] deej1976, I tried in #libreoffice (where is more people) but anybody answer there and only 1 said that he dont know how to help ^( [12:52] I'm not sure if this is the right channel to ask... But I can no longer connect to MSN with Empathy since this morning. Other protocols work fine. [12:53] How would I go around putting ubuntu 11.10 to sleep when I consider it idle? Idle in my case means: xbmc not playing videos, no keyboard/mouse activity for X minutes, no disc accessing. [12:53] the ocelot upgrade was horrible for me and the system is very unstable for me now. So I am thinking about a reinstall now. I have / and /home/ on different partitions (same disk), so what would I loose when doing a clean installation over the / partition? [12:53] Or is the no disc accessing a bad condition? logs being written etc [12:54] esben: XBMC should have an option for that [12:54] Lysandius: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/papyon/+bug/887349 [12:54] Launchpad bug 887349 in papyon (Ubuntu) "Can't login in Windows live acount using empathy" [Undecided,Confirmed] [12:55] GeorgeJ, yeah, but it just sleeps the computer when no video or music is playing regardless of disc activity or ssh activity [12:55] Lysandius: Have you tried with pidgin [12:56] Lysandius: its already fixed upstream but the ubuntu-patch is pending [12:56] esben: Hmm, I don't think disc activity is a good parameter for decided wether to sleep the computer or not [12:56] iceroot, ubottu: Thanks :) [12:56] esben: As you said, log files might still be written to for example, on a time-based matter [12:57] schedule* [12:57] deej1976, I'll try pidgin in a sec. But maybe it's better to take a break from MSN for a day or so. I'm actually discovering an entire new world (or just other parts of the internet...). [12:57] to remove VirtualHost? delete from /etc/../sites-available .. ? [12:58] Lysandius: should be fixed soon [12:58] esben: You could measure the disc activity as the speed that it's accessed with, and have a threshold [12:58] yeah [12:58] Lysandius: as it seems every program is affacted by that because they are all using /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/papyon/service/AddressBook/ab.py [12:58] dose ubuntu support APU? [12:58] seems not so easy to make a desktop sleep actually... [12:58] esben: Either way, you basicaly need either a deamon or chron script. Have XBMC write to a file when it's idle, then check for ssh connections, and for the disc activity treshold [12:59] iceroot, Then I'll have to wait... No problem. Thanks for the answers :) [13:00] iceroot, PHLAK : i miss Gnome 2 )-: [13:00] !nounity | erkan^ [13:00] erkan^: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [13:02] GeorgeJ, this will be alot more tricky than anticipated.. :) [13:02] esben: I believe XBMC can prevent the computer from going to sleep [13:02] iceroot, Singham, thanks for advices about iPad2 (i had a call) [13:02] Just checking that there not an easy way to do it before I reinvent the wheel [13:03] esben: If you look more into it, I'm sure you could do the same thing for the disc activity [13:03] Is there a way to check if the system considers itself idle? [13:03] esben: Checking for active ssh sessions is easy [13:03] however i wouldn't use iPad if there was any serious alternative [13:03] esben: xbmc is not sending the pc into sleep-modus [13:03] Aldus: galaxy tab 10.1 (but its offtopic) [13:03] esben: The system considers itself idle based on the settings you provide. Usually when there's no keyboard/mouse activity [13:04] esben: But I'm rather sure you can prevent the system from going to sleep [13:04] https://launchpad.net/~dupondje/+archive/ppa/+build/2909972/+files/python-papyon_0.5.5-1ubuntu3%7Edupondje_all.deb => for everyone that has MSN issues :) [13:04] this fixes the problem [13:04] There should be a timer or something that you could reset, I'm not sure === go8765 is now known as help_me_with_lib === help_me_with_lib is now known as help_me_with_LO [13:05] esben: http://coderrr.wordpress.com/2008/04/20/getting-idle-time-in-unix/ might help [13:05] What im really looking for is how the system decides if its idle or not. For example keypresses might send a 'im still awake' signal to the system [13:05] Sounds promising [13:07] hi [13:08] esben: The second answer might help with resetting the timer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4721389/user-idle-time-being-reset-to-0-after-30-secs-on-linux [13:08] esben: And basicaly have a script execute every 30seconds or so, that checks for active ssh connections and disk activity, and do a poke to keep the system alive [13:08] XBMC should allready do this afaik when playing music/videos, there should be an option [13:09] can someone offer some advice with a samba problem ? [13:09] Yeah, I think it does, but its kinda hard nowadays with unity and gnome3 to actually make the desktop sleep when idle... [13:09] at least from GUI settings [13:10] !ask | kingsy [13:10] kingsy: 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 [13:10] I was hoping someone could help me debug my samba installation, it seems to work "sometimes" for example this morning it just doesnt work.. i.e you browse the windows network and you just get an empty folder [13:10] !ask | everyone [13:10] everyone: 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 [13:11] I have checked I am set on the correct workgroup and I am, I have restarted the smbd and nmbd processes and still nothing [13:11] esben: How so? [13:11] so I really don't know what to do.. it seems to just "work" occasionally. [13:11] Thelmaria: any ideas? or suggestions? [13:12] I just dont see any options in power for desktops to put to sleep when idle [13:12] I would love to know how to debug this in the future cos this samba "problem" seems to happen quite a bit for me [13:13] dear friends do you know that in the next ubuntu version mono will miss? [13:14] Oh its just me who's blind [13:15] luca: only in the standard-installation [13:15] esben: System settings->Screen for the monitor poweroff timeout, and System settings->Power for suspend [13:16] iceroot: Yes but is there a different installation? [13:16] luca you ever heard about "apt-get install foo"? [13:16] esben: You can find the System settings icon in the taskbar(if you haven't removed it) or by searching for "settings" in the dash [13:16] I got it :) [13:17] llutz_: no what is it? There are a lot of things in ubuntu [13:18] !repo | luca [13:18] luca: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [13:18] luca: you are not pinned down to the stuff being installed by default, just install additional stuff as you like. so why worry about things not in the default installation? [13:18] luca: its just not installed by default but can be pulled from the repos with apt-get or software-center [13:19] llutz: Yes but what is mono in particular? Is it fundamental for the operative system?? [13:20] luca: its just another framework [13:20] It was suggested for me to try a newer or older graphics driver to work around a crash --> http://askubuntu.com/questions/76005/mathematica-8-constantly-crashing-when-i-rotate-3d-graphics How can I do this? Is there an easy and safe way to try newer/older drivers? [13:20] Hi...as Wubi for windows ..Is there anythig for Ubuntu ? [13:20] iceroot: If you can install it from software centre i think it's not so important, you can use the system without that component isn't? [13:20] luca: not fundamental at all, i hope [13:20] luca: correct [13:20] luca: the important fact is that you dont need mono in 12.04 by default [13:20] llutz_: have you got yhe list of all the frameworks? [13:21] luca: no [13:21] GeorgeJ, do you know a way to query ubuntu/unity if its idle? [13:21] how can one person know if a framework is fundamental or not? [13:21] or how long its been idle [13:21] Hello, I am unable to boot into Ubuntu. When I try to boot the splash screen just appears forever. This has happened for some time but I used to alt + 6 and run 'sudo lightdm' and that would fix it, but now it doesn't work anymore. [13:21] esben: Yes, I've given you a link to do just that [13:22] through dbus? [13:22] luca: easy: the distro comes without stuff but works, so it cannot be "fundamental". [13:22] luca: there are two programs in the default installation which needed mono, both programs will be removed in 12.04, so mono is no needed anymore as default [13:23] llutz_: so what is the advantage to use that framework? [13:23] luca: its just a library used by some software [13:23] iceroot: ah ok now I can understand do you know which are these two programs?? [13:24] luca: tomby and the audioplayer (dont remeber the name) [13:25] no one needs mono :P [13:26] luca: tomboy and banshee [13:26] luca: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/11/banshee-tomboy-and-mono-dropped-from-ubuntu-12-04-cd/ [13:26] luca: if you don't even know what mono is, why do you care that it won't be in 12.04 by default? [13:27] esben: It has nothing to do with Unity or gnome or anything else but X [13:28] esben: `xset q` might help, google for X idle timer for the language you are looking to get the time in [13:28] !offtopic [13:28] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks!

[13:30] Amdpc: ? [13:30] esben: xprintidle might also help [13:30] Amdpc: wubi is from ubuntu [13:30] iceroot: no vim ???? [13:30] deej1976: no, just vi [13:30] llutz_: because i thought it was very important for more than 2 programs, I thought it was tha base of all operative system sorry [13:31] iceroot: phew, I can breath again [13:31] iceroot: but you can always install it from software centre isn't?? [13:31] I heard that ubuntu makes big pressure on the hard disk? [13:31] i'll see the time coming, they drop vi too [13:32] iceroot : I am on Ubuntu and I want to install Kubuntu (Dual boot) In the same way as i install ubuntu using wubi in windows [13:32] luca: yes [13:32] what is the difference from a program by default and a program on software centre? Is that you cannot control the code of that program>?? [13:32] Amdpc: ah ok, so you dont want to use a different (real) partition [13:32] Amdpc: why not just installing kde and change session at login instead of dual-boot two nearly identical systems [13:32] luca: the only difference is, that it is not installed by default [13:32] luca: there are no other differences in the programs [13:33] hello! [13:33] llutz_ : I am doing that now...but the KDE crashes and I am forced to log in ti gnome Interface..thats why ! [13:33] iceroot: yes but what about the cose of there programs?? [13:33] to* [13:33] luca: apt-get source packagename [13:34] iceroot : Hmm...yes ! [13:34] luca: as i said, no differences between programs on cd and on the repos [13:34] about the code of these programs [13:34] can someone help me? installed ubuntu on an older server (pentium 4, 4 hds) and now i dont get out of the BusyBox! [13:34] iceroot: I don't use cd I use internet [13:34] luca: so what is your point? [13:35] and i cannot access the drive i've installed ubuntu on with the live cd anymore [13:35] iceroot: you can control the code both in the case of default that in the case of software centre? [13:35] luca: what code? what you mean with control? [13:35] the code in which a program is written [13:36] for instance C language [13:36] luca: apt-get source packagename to get the sourcecode [13:36] I suppose that many programs on ubuntu are written in C langiage [13:36] luca: and? [13:36] luca: why is it important in what language something is written? [13:37] luca: mono has nothing to do with real c [13:37] luca and lots of other langauges - c was made for unix ;-p [13:37] hi,what is the best linux distro for c programmer? [13:37] iceroot: because I'm studying C [13:37] lev_ any of them [13:37] ? [13:37] lev_: how should the distro make any difference [13:37] lev_: gentoo :) [13:37] heh [13:37] why [13:37] lfs [13:38] lev_ lfs? [13:38] Hello, is there anyone know which is this %10%19%84G%D6J%3B%EF%D8%F4%5D5%87F%19%26? it's encryped with something and I don't know what.. [13:38] lev_: why should there be a difference in the distros when you want using c? [13:38] for instance if i want the code of LibreOfficeWriter i have to use apt get source LibreOfficeWriter?? [13:38] lev_: every distro has gcc and vim [13:38] hiyas all [13:38] luca: i dont know if you really want that code but its "apt-get source libreoffice" [13:39] I find that some distros lack of gcc&gdb packege [13:39] lev_: you find wrong [13:39] lev_, you can install it [13:39] lev_: pretty much every distro will have that pakcage [13:39] iceroot: I'm trying with your command [13:40] there are distros with no package manager and no compiler included by default and they are the most frustrating thing in existence [13:40] luca: why not starting with something easier? libreoffice is one of the hardest things [13:40] yeah [13:40] iceroot: it's 264 MB [13:40] luca: as i said, do you really want that code === sysadamin|away is now known as sysadamin [13:40] moral: stay the hell away from freebsd :V [13:40] luca: see ##c maybe its a better channel for your needs [13:41] GargantuaSauce, freebsd has gcc.... [13:41] iceroot: I don't know which is lightes or hardest [13:41] I got these annoying dir's on my hdd... 3453907234239 and System Volume Information and RECYCLER are these left over windows things I can delete? [13:41] GargantuaSauce: and ports, so what? [13:41] Gentoo64: no there are not [13:41] Hi, I am using Ndiswrapper 1.56 with Ubuntu 10.10, I installed it over synaptic, the driver seems to work since I can find Wifis with iwlist. Nm-Applet shows me that Wifi is inactive, if I activate it, it switches over just vor a second it seems and is inactive after that again [13:41] Gentoo64: sorry, not you [13:41] ahhughez - sounds like windows files to me [13:41] GargantuaSauce: please name a distro without a compiler installed and no package managment [13:41] freebsd seems a high level thing :( [13:41] iceroot: where can i find the code i'm downloading?? [13:41] luca: in the directory you called "apt-get source" [13:42] ikonia, there are no "distros" without them afaik [13:42] Gentoo64: I know this, that's why I'm asking GargantuaSauce to justify what he's saying [13:42] I know that fedora and cent dont have gcc [13:42] lev_: yes it does [13:42] lev_: of course they have gcc [13:42] I build packages for both which depend on gcc [13:42] lev_, neither does ubuntu, but apt-get install them [13:42] well the one i ran into was pfsense, I am pretty sure there are others [13:42] i am getting X crashes in 11.10 on my laptop. does not drop me to terminal, switching vt's is not possible, a bunch of code outputs to the screen and I have to hard reset. xorg log shows knowing. anyone know whats going on or how i can better troubleshoot this? [13:42] not by defualt, guys why do you think you cannot install additional stuff? [13:42] GargantuaSauce: pfsense has a compiler [13:43] maybe they smartened up since I used it then, w/e [13:43] yes,and they also dont have some promgramming style editor [13:43] lev_: you have a ubuntu support question? [13:43] iciceroot: i'm lookinf for that directory [13:43] lev_, gentoo has one by default ofc, but binary distros dont need them (by default) so you choose to manually have it [13:44] iceroot: is it in home?? [13:44] luca: where you called "apt-get source" [13:44] luca: there is a dir with the packagename in it [13:45] I figured out with rfkill that there is a softblock for my wifi-connection..how can i unblock it? rfkill fails there [13:45] luca: are you really really sure you want to learn programing and starting with the source-code of libreoffice? even the linux-kernel is easier [13:45] iceroot: i don't have that directory [13:46] luca: apt-get source vim for example, after that is done use cd vim TAB [13:46] iceroot: I'm not sure to start with it but it's the most common program I think [13:47] luca: start with a book and /join ##c [13:47] luca: the most common program on all linux-distros is "linux" [13:47] i think should start with the hello world piece:) [13:47] hi there [13:48] hell [13:48] hello there [13:48] anyone here ?

[15:41] fahad_: can't say, never installed a 4GB iso [15:41] a 4GB OS? [15:42] vatzec: If you can ping the world, and have a reply, you've got a route to the world. I'd suggest it's a proxy / firewall issue, because ping traffic gets to the world but http doesn't. I am assuming you have a working, web-aware windows with enterprize wifi ?

I'm afraid I can't help you much more then that - you've got a working connection to the world, you just don't have it open for all protocols, and that suggests firewall / proxy settings issue.

[16:38] <[Sanyi]> zomg [16:38] deper29: Use the "Additional Drivers" tool to install Nvidia drivers.

[16:39] nkj: i'm not convincted by ubuntu server, i prefere debian or centOS on my servers but it's not bad ;) [16:40] Jordan_U: I had to download a .run file to do this. It doesn't appear in the additional drivers [16:40] gp2mv3: yes, I used to use both of those, but lately I find that ubuntu being used as a server isn't really so bad, and a lot of the depenency problems I used to run into aren't as frequent. [16:40] just installed tftpd-hpa, and it's not in /etc/init.d/ for some frustrating reason [16:41] deper29: If it's not appearing in Additional Drivers there is likely a reason. What hardware do you have? Are you using a virtual machine? Is it Nvidia Optimus? [16:41] gp2mv3: this is a development server, so we need to be able to install new packages easily without dependency worries... but for single purpose servers I agree something like centos/debian with a locked down set of dependencies specific for the app makes a lot of sense.

[17:53] DasEi, no after hitting ls command only it show the above files only [17:53] Younder: i'm not being naive... the important part is "normal distribution channels" [17:54] sivakumar: sudo updatedb finished ? [17:54] DaEsi [17:55] DaEi yes [17:55] Younder: obviously if someone picks a CD up off the sidewalk and uses it to install onto their machine, there are no guarantees [17:55] sivakumar: remember first chars of a file being on your desk before ? [17:55] riffautae: "dmesg | tail" does show the usb device ready (card isn't inserted due to my irc client being Firefox). where can I find a log for Firefox? [17:55] Ikonia: please stop encuraging people to distribute modified ubuntu CD's [17:55] DasEi, journal is one my folder name [17:55] Younder: I'm not, he didn't say he wanted to distribute anything - he said he wanted to modify the ISO which he can do - it's open [17:55] i would like to output com port data in hex format. "cat /dev/ttyS0" works fine for ascii. I tried "cat /dev/ttyS0 | od -tx1" but i get no output on the screen. Any idea why? === Mud is now known as Guest53372 [17:55] Younder: users will know it's not a stock CD as the md5sum will be different, so again - please stop giving out nonsense information., [17:55] brian: pidgin also works as an irc client. and hmm let me see [17:55] sivakumar: locate journal [17:55] hi, my clock disappeared from unity (I'm using Ubuntu 11.10). How can I re-enable it? [17:56] DasEi, I will try and run it without the battery connected. It seems to have helped others with dodgy laptops [17:56] Younder: you're doing it wrong... the knowledge is out there, and people will modify cds for whatever purpose they want. all you can do is encourage people to obtain their installation media through trusted channels. [17:56] hi [17:56] ikonia, users don't even know what a md5 sum is.. [17:56] Searching in "Get Software" keeps on going without ever outputting any software list and therefore, it does not let me install a software === jose is now known as burbaster [17:57] DasEi, it displays no of files [17:57] Younder: these cd's are not on the official channels/links so it is not a risk [17:57] +i [17:57] Searching in "Get Software" keeps on going without ever outputting any software list and therefore, it does not let me install a software. How may I solve this issue? [17:57] Younder: if people know how to modify a cd, they also know what md5 is [17:57] sivakumar: a plain filename from desktop ? [17:57] my motherboard recently died for an am2+ CPU. i always had problems with the graphics (integrated radeon). i was wondering if anyone could recommend a replacement motherboard that would work more smoothly with ubuntu [17:57] Younder: you seem to be under the impression that it's ok to install ubuntu off of a cd you obtained from a stranger, and that we must prevent people from making modified cds to keep it that way [17:57] sivakumar: least a special filetype ? [17:57] DasEi, how to find which file [17:58] Searching in "Get Software" keeps on going without ever outputting any software list and therefore, it does not let me install a software. How may I solve this issue? [17:58] sivakumar: do you remember a filename / special extension from your deleted desk ?? [17:58] MonkeyDust, of cource, my worry is Ubuntu distributions with malware. The end installer doesn't [17:58] Younder: that does not exist [17:58] panfist, sorry to hear that if you really want to..google for hcl list linux distros etc.. [17:59] help with "Get Software" please [17:59] !hcl > panfist [17:59] panfist, please see my private message [17:59] DasEi, yes in journal folder it contains journal.pdf file [17:59] MonkeyDust, I wish.. I had to fix a network last week [17:59] sivakumar: locate journal.pdf [18:00] ? [18:00] DasEi, ok it displays a path [18:00] /home/sivakumar/.local/share/Trash/files/journal/journal.pdf [18:00] DasEi, /home/sivakumar/.local/share/Trash/files/journal/journal.pdf [18:00] yeeehah [18:00] I have a text file with three lines. First line is blank, second and third lines only have a two-digit number. I need to get the second line and third line read into a script variable as a time, with a ":" between each number. How can I do this? [18:01] DasEi, it is the path it displayed in terminal.....now what i have to do next [18:01] thanks [18:02] brian: hm i cant find any information about firefox having a log file... [18:02] sivakumar: rsync -Pru /home/sivakumar/.local/share/Trash/ ~/Desktop ( whatever else was in trash will come back , too) and WAIT, before do a : [18:02] df -h [18:02] I have tried sed -n '2p' file ":" sed -n '3p' file but the script didn't like that [18:02] enough space ? [18:02] Hi all. [18:02] hmm i did with chroot new grub.cfg file and with gparted change my /dev/sda5 flag to be boot, but still it doesnt find my grub :/ [18:02] hi OliveGreen [18:02] DasEi, i am not clear please say it again [18:03] I have just started using Ubuntu 11.10, and would like to replace Unity with Gnome Shell. How do I do that? === brian__ is now known as brian [18:03] sivakumar: df -h , enough free disk space ? (said sth. about 24 gb) [18:03] i would like to output com port data in hex format. "cat /dev/ttyS0" works fine for ascii. I tried "cat /dev/ttyS0 | od -tx1" but i get no output on the screen. Any idea why? [18:04] AbuMaia: TIMEVAR="$(sed -n 2p file):$(sed -n 3p file)"; seems to work here [18:04] sivakumar: are there 24g free in root, df -h tells you [18:04] Can you install LAPACK on Ubuntu? Do you know it's built with Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms? [18:04] DasEi, it is working thank u [18:05] !yay [18:05] Glad you made it! :-) [18:05] trism: thanks, that should do it. I was trying to get the two seds into one $ [18:05] sivakumar: are you syncing back now ? [18:05] DasEi, yes super [18:06] fine, have fun [18:07] OliveGreen, default 11.10 is gnome if u wish to change to kde or xfce [18:07] maxx878, I would like to have Gnome Shell as my default interface instead of Unity, how do I do that? [18:08] maxx878: Select Gnome instead of Unity during login. [18:09] !nounity | OliveGreen [18:09] Hello there ubuntu peoples I have a very simple question. where can you find out before hand what is up and comming for the next release of ubuntu. Ie changing perl from 5.10 to 5.12 [18:09] OliveGreen: 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 [18:10] !unity [18:10] Unity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity [18:10] kneeki, I'm not talking about the classic Gnome interface. I'm talking about Gnome Shell, the Unit-like interface (the one with the "Activities" button on the top left corner?) [18:10] bobweaver: #ubuntu+1, looking at packages.ubuntu.org, read release-notes [18:10] OliveGreen, i know what the problem is switch to kde i am using it works fine. [18:10] OliveGreen: apart from that, can also use other wm's like xubuntu or lubuntu [18:11] bobweaver: but makes only sense after the feature-freeze (which is in 2012 if i am correct) [18:11] OliveGreen: I'm using Gnome3 instead of Unity. I believe that's what you're referring to right? [18:11] i cant get to gnome2 with 11.10.. [18:11] hi, I'm trying to use redshift to change the color profile for multiple monitors,, but it expects randr to have multiple screens. The output of randr only shows one screen. How do I force randr to use two screens? [18:11] kneeki, umm.. yeah. I guess that's it. :) [18:11] thanks iceroot [18:11] bobweaver: packages.ubuntu.com of course instead of org [18:12] Dear friens how can I add blas library and lapack library on octave? [18:12] ocmsRzr: are you using nvidia twin view or xinrama? [18:12] it seems grub made correct .cfg file, but something is preventing start grub. i have windows 7 also so its maybe that windows bootloader hmm [18:12] guys when I start my ubuntu I see only the background and the mouse, any ideas? [18:12] how did you get gnome3 instead unity? [18:12] The reason I ask is I have about 4 years worth of scripts that I have and when something changes like that .... [18:12] but thanks dude you are awesome [18:12] I'm not sure how I would know. I just plugged in the monitor and it "just worked" [18:12] what should be a command to run compiz-configmanager trough terminal [18:12] I don't have an nvidia card [18:12] avernos: can do it on your own risk, see: [18:12] !gnome3 [18:12] GNOME 3 is the desktop environment on which Unity is based. To use GNOME Shell instead of Unity, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". GNOME 3 is not supported under Natty/11.04, and may break your system if installed from alternate sources. [18:12] avernos: In ubuntu 11.10 you use gnome 3 and unity together [18:12] kneeki, It's weird coz sometimes it's called Gnome Shell, but some other times it's called Gnome3. Is it the same thing? [18:13] I run 11.10 [18:13] guys when I start my ubuntu I see only the background and the mouse, any ideas? [18:13] OliveGreen: Yeah, I believe so. Gnome3 is just the project name. [18:13] OliveGreen: The Shell is the "interface" or GUI; unless I'm mistaken. [18:13] hi since a few days I have msn connection issues on empathy, are there known issues ? [18:13] hi, my clock disappeared from unity (I'm using Ubuntu 11.10). How can I re-enable it? [18:13] kneeki, I see. So, how do I make it default (instead of Unity)? [18:14] rasmusth: do you get to a login screen or does it happen before then? [18:14] OliveGreen: no, it's like the underlayer of unity is still gdm, but it's not the new gnome3 desk [18:14] OliveGreen: When you log in (typing in your password) there should be a cog looking configure button. Click that, it's a dropdown. [18:14] riffautae: I'm pretty sure its xinerama, but it was all plug and play [18:14] riffautae: no I have auto-login enabled [18:14] kneeki, I see. [18:14] OliveGreen: If Gnome is installed, it should be in the list. By deafult it came with Ubuntu 11.10 [18:14] bonsoir [18:15] Okay. Thanks. :-) [18:15] OliveGreen: classic option might be there, which leads to gnome2 then [18:15] ocmsRzr: xinerama works by only having one screen and using some weird stuff to tell apps, try disabling that and then xrandr should take over [18:15] anyone can help me to run compiz-manager trough terminal ? [18:16] ciao [18:16] anyone can help me get my computer working again? [18:16] millen_: ccsm [18:16] riffautae: how, and when I do will I have to do anything else to get the screens to work? [18:16] I get only background and mouse [18:16] ask ! millen_ [18:16] rasmusth: disable auto login and see if the sessions drop down has an option for an alt desktop environment [18:16] !list [18:16] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [18:16] kneeki, thanks a lot [18:17] np [18:17] riffautae: how do I disable that? [18:17] ocmsRzr: it *should*. especially if you are on intel or other open source video card drivers [18:17] I have nothing [18:17] !list [18:17] riffautae: Its an intel card [18:17] I shut down the unuty plug in and now do not have any panels do you have any idea how to manage a panels ? [18:18] in Ununtu 11.10 [18:18] Ubuntu* [18:18] ciao [18:19] maxx878, Do you know how to start gnome panel. I have written in a terminal: gnome-panel, but when I close the terminal the panels are gone . [18:19] are there known issues wtih intel gfx and 11.10? been having quite a few X crashes, xorg log shows nothing. [18:19] ocmsRzr: yea it should use xrandr by default if you dont tell it to use xinerama [18:19] ocmsRzr: and it should work [18:19] why do people keep saying the same thing... "ciao... !list" [18:20] for some reason i can no longer ftp or sftp to my remote pc, can that be due to some key, like with ssh? === luke is now known as Guest68896 [18:20] I've got some broken ppa repositories (i get a 404 when I do apt-get update) how do I remove them? ppa-purge doesn't seem to work [18:21] hello, I have installed ubuntu-desktop on one test machine that i can access only via ssh, i was wondering how can i enable remote connections from the terminal to be able to access it using remote desktop connection "Vinagre" ? [18:21] MonkeyDust, ftp uses no encryption [18:21] rasmusth: hit control-alt-f2 and log in. then nano /etc/gdm/custom.conf and set AutomaticLoginEnable to false. save and quit nano. type sudo reboot [18:22] rasmusth: sorry sudo nano *that file i said* [18:22] ok riffautae [18:22] millen_, gnome-gdm [18:22] I tried booting in recovery mode [18:22] that works [18:22] :s [18:22] maxx878, thanks [18:23] nature call :)) [18:23] Hey guys [18:23] Hello! I'm trying to find a guide on how to install windows on an external drive from Ubuntu. I've seen tutorials on how to do it from Windows os but haven't found any guides on how to do it from Ubuntu. Any advice? Here's how to do it on windows: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwX9cmJ8BoM [18:23] I'm just a bit confused, long time linux user, havent used Ubuntu in ages though.... [18:23] rasmusth: you have access to a gui? skip the control-alt stuf and just 'gksudo gedit *that file*' in a terminal and do the editing and reboot normally [18:23] n0yd, 10000000000000000yrs :)) [18:23] I need to find a file called "teacooker" somewhere in my root filesystem so I can install it. Should I use "find teacooker" or something else? [18:24] maxx878, gnome-gdm : the command was no found [18:24] n0yd: what are you confused about [18:24] I installed it with a .deb, but I don't know where the file went to. [18:24] I am trying to get a DoD CAC to work with Ubuntu 11.10 and Firefox 7.0.1. I have the card reader installed and "Pcsc_scan" will show the reader and the card but when I try to open Firefox with the card inserted it will not open. Alternatively, if Firefox is open and I insert the card, Firefox will crash and not restart until the card is removed. [18:24] semitones: find / -name *teacooker* [18:24] semitones: type apt-cache policy teacooker [18:24] Im running 11.10, and I wanted to get back old classic gnome, so i installed gnome-session-fallback. But the panels and such arent correct. The look kinda like regular old gnome, but im missing some of the menus at the top [18:24] millen_, let me work on it then [18:24] hi guys I need a suggestion about a pcmcia video adapter for a multimonitor setup [18:24] any idea? [18:24] Any ideas? [18:24] riffautae: done [18:24] thank you Gentoo64, MonkeyDust [18:24] n0yd: its gnome 3 fallback, not gnome 2.. thats why [18:25] Gentoo64: gotcha. how do i acquire gnome2? [18:25] hello [18:25] n0yd: you cant easily [18:25] wassap people [18:25] n0yd: gnome 2 is gone and gnome 3 has taken over now [18:25] . [18:25] n0yd: or use a different de [18:25] omfg [18:25] rasmusth: ok so auto login should be disabled and you should get a login screen now. see if one of the other options in the session drop down works [18:25] wow [18:25] thats lame as shit [18:25] n0yd: try xfce with 2 panels... [18:25] millen_, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/restart-ubuntu-gnome-session-without-rebooting.html [18:25] Guess im going back to xfce [18:26] n0yd: yeah a lot of people like gnome 2, but thats the way it is now [18:26] And just use my Arch box if i want gnome2 [18:26] n0yd: install gnome-panel and use the session drop down to select it i think will pretend you are in g2 [18:26] not possible to enable remote connections remotely ? [18:26] maxx878, thanks [18:26] new to ubuntu was wondering if compiz is having issues with unity shell 11.10 or if its safe to use [18:26] n0yd: many people do the same [18:26] n0yd: arch has had gnome 3 for over ayear now.... [18:26] millen_, work it out [18:27] n0yd: unless you like constantly having to block new packages i would use gnome 3 or something else [18:27] riffautae: ok [18:27] Gentoo64: i know it has, but my boxen still has gnome2 installed. i never upgraded [18:27] I'm on it [18:27] is there some way to join an ubuntu server to a windows workgroup? Without a local dns resolver, I'm just wondering how a Windows machine could ping the hostname of the ubuntu server without a hosts entry on the windows machine. [18:27] n0yd: xfce with 2 panels is similar to gnome 2 (a bit) at least that way you can upgrade as usual [18:28] gnome is rubbish nowadays. Im an old school kinda guy. I used to run xfce all the time until I started using fluxbox for awhile [18:28] n0yd: so whats the problem :s [18:28] 11.04 let me run gnome2 iirc [18:28] you can use fluxbox or whateve ryou want [18:28] n0yd: gnome2 is depreciated [18:28] riffautae: no crap [18:28] n0yd: 11.04 was gnome 2 [18:28] thats why [18:28] be civil people. === quem_ is now known as quem [18:28] hmm ok i try to use grub-install after chroot [18:29] gentoo64 right. with the unity crap ontop [18:29] n0yd: yeah but it has classic mode [18:29] n0yd: welcome to the new generation ;) [18:29] Im not building this box for me, its for another family member new to Linux [18:29] n0yd: and they hate the new look? [18:29] MonkeyDust: Ratpoison FTW [18:29] Gentoo64: i donno yet :P But I do ;) [18:30] n0yd: no need to rant then :) if you dont use it... === chadi is now known as nyquist [18:30] id imageine the new look would be better for a new user [18:30] Gentoo64, are you in gentoo [18:30] maxx878: #gentoo ? [18:30] Well, if I wanted something so basic, I wouldve installed OSX86 lol jk === tash is now known as RmRfStar [18:31] Gentoo64, i am not too in ubuntu [18:31] hello [18:31] ? [18:31] maxx878: you dont have to use ubuntu to join this room [18:32] unity or gnome shell which one do you prefer [18:32] :)) thanks to be here.. [18:32] Anyone familiar with an ubuntu 11.04 mouse left click stuck bug? [18:32] gnome-shell for sure [18:32] sd: theyre similar... id say gnome shell though [18:32] Has anyone else had issues with kworker giving kernel panics in 11.10? [18:32] but its a bit of a poll lol [18:32] I am trying to get a DoD CAC to work with Ubuntu 11.10 and Firefox 7.0.1. I have the card reader installed and "Pcsc_scan" will show the reader and the card but when I try to open Firefox with the card inserted it will not open. Alternatively, if Firefox is open and I insert the card, Firefox will crash and not restart until the card is removed. === nyquist is now known as chadi [18:33] hi [18:33] Anyone familiar with an ubuntu 11.04 mouse left click stuck bug? [18:33] i want help [18:33] sd: neither. both are rubbish. imho [18:33] Of course opinions are like arseholes, everybody has one. [18:33] when i use google chrome in fullscreen i cant reverse it to normal size by pressing f11. what could be the problem [18:33] how do i resize a window when the scroll thumb appears right at the edge? [18:34] rhizmoe: use the other side of the window [18:34] really? [18:34] Is it true Linus switched to xfce? First he was all up in arms over gnomes simpleness and went to kde..... now hes on xfce? lol [18:34] rhizmoe: also alt+right mouse i think lets you resize or something simular [18:34] ridiculous [18:34] n0yd: the simpleness of gnome complaint was the lack of configuration i think [18:34] hey guys, I have a couple of questions. I just recently upgraded to ubuntu 11.04 and uh... I am 100% lost on how to use it. Any way to make the UI more like past verstions? I can't find anything, I can't see when a window is flashing (making it hard to switch between) I don't know where the updater is, and again, I can't see windows flashing because everything is like fullscreen or something. Help? [18:35] hi [18:35] hi [18:35] funnily enough, the other side of the window is the title bar, which is not available as a resizing handle [18:35] geia saw [18:35] episteme: ^^ [18:35] geia sas [18:35] riffautae: right, and gconf is archaic etc. But to bitch about gnome2 and then praise kde where there is a million options for things and options for options for options and so on, just seems crazy [18:36] but Linus is a bit nutty. lol [18:36] milaei kaneis elinika? [18:36] rhizmoe: did you try riffautae idea? [18:36] *natty [18:36] n0yd: i think your comment are for #ubuntu-offtopic [18:36] also, another REALLY annoying thing is that all the menu drop downs are where the quicklaunch bar was. Help? [18:36] DasEi, [18:36] MonkeyDust: meh. im done here anyway [18:36] speak greek? [18:36] what does this means "-NickServ- You are not logged in." === hp is now known as Guest82922 [18:36] maggas1234: i understand but don't speak very well [18:36] n0yd: its a support channel anyway [18:36] can anyone help me with ssh tunneling? [18:37] alt-right click on the title bar gives me a resizing mode, but only on one side, which is the wrong side. [18:37] n0yd: dont see why you're complaining... you said the comp was for someone else who hasnt even seen it yet. and you use arch... [18:37] KaiSforza: maybe [18:37] riffautae: duh. Ive been around here for over 6 years. [18:37] n0yd: so who cares [18:37] rhizmoe: it depends on whre on the window you have your mouse === eddie is now known as Guest30557 [18:37] * n0yd cofounded #linux-coders [18:37] rhizmoe: when you initiate it [18:37] *sigh* I shoulda known asking here was a waste of time [18:37] what does this means "-NickServ- You are not logged in."? why this is shown to me as i already identify myself [18:37] Andy2113: lol [18:37] ?? [18:37] it always is [18:37] somebody help me [18:37] riffautae: I have the information for the sst tunnel, i connected, but even after messing with my proxy settings, it's not changing anything. [18:37] alt-right click on the title bar is the only place in the window where i am given a resize option int he context menu [18:38] *ssh [18:38] KaiSforza: did you want to tunnel or use it as a socks proxy? they are different settings and you cant socks through the normal ssh tunnel [18:38] andy i could help you [18:38] how do i make pidgin the app that opens if i select 'chat' on Ubuntu 11.10 [18:38] Andy2113, address one by one ...1 the most important one.. [18:38] Andy2113: * [18:38] i imagine the last few weeks have been pretty annoying for the regulars here :/ [18:39] Andy2113: getting regular gnome2 look back on 11.04 is easy [18:39] rhizmoe: i didnt meant it as a menu option. you just hold the buttons and move the mouse and the window resizes. i am not in gnome atm so i cant check the exact key sequence but its been that for a while [18:40] maxx878: it's not that it's not appealing or anything, it's just confusing as all hell not having a way to physically click between windows at the bottom (because the side quicklauncher always disappears and wont even flash when a window is supposed to) [18:40] ViaNocturna85: you can't, really, it is hardcoded in indicator-messages to empathy (well it was in natty anyway), but you can uninstall empathy, and the chat item will disappear leaving only the pidgin item [18:40] Andy2113: it autohides [18:40] If I change any of the composite settings in compiz, Unity does not work. Does anybody know why this might be? [18:40] can anyone tell me what is the easiest & safest method to get dual booting system without making system unbootable ?? [18:40] Andy2113: if you pm me, I wouldnt mind helping you [18:40] Andy2113: you can install gnome-shell or gnome-panel for other styles but they are no logner supported. try xfce, its basicly a gnome2 clone [18:41] trism, I suppose that's the only way then, thanks [18:41] riffautae: hes running 11.04 not *.10 [18:41] rasmusth: you may not have your video card drivers set up properly [18:41] riffautae: i would hardly call xfce a gnome 2 clone [18:41] n0yd: ah i see [18:41] episteme: yeah, I figured that the moment it autohid for the first time. [18:41] unkr: a win/lin dual boot? first win, then lin, for win will ruin the grub [18:41] Hello [18:41] MonkeyDust: yes [18:41] riffautae: I've installed the driver it told me to?

[18:43] KaiSforza: ssh -D 9090 will set up a socks proxy on port 9090 [18:43] unkr: what do you mean by 'safe'? how can it be unsafe? [18:44] any nifty command to show uptime? [18:44] (QUESTION)Anyone familiar with an ubuntu 11.04 mouse left click stuck bug? [18:44] MonkeyDust: by safe means that i dont want the system to become unbootable [18:44] rasmusth: hm unusual video card, did you try the nvidia binary drivers? [18:44] thanks, riffautae [18:44] KaiSforza: be aware dns usualy doesnt go through socks [18:44] unkr: have you experienced that? [18:44] KaiSforza: firefox has a secret setting to force it to [18:45] !netsplit [18:45] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other.

[20:58] alexxio, why you did that so when the windows is on /dev/sda1 you should have installed it on it [20:59] Hi there [20:59] (03:57:38 PM) pawtracks: I permanetly switched from Windows 7 to Ubuntu 11.10 but ever since I switched over my touchpad on my netbook has been very sensitive and hard to use. I have edited the Sensitivity options in seattings but I did not work. My touchpad was not sensitive in windows. Please tell me what to do. [20:59] System is slow and not really responsive. Very high load average (8+) and wa times. Reboot doesn't help. I suspect some kind of hardware semifailure/slowdown. Any ideas? [20:59] maxx878,my wind is on /dev/sda2 [20:59] how do i prevent ubuntu from diming the screen after 10 seconds when on battery? [20:59] ACCT="admin@mydomain.com" [20:59] tar --extract --file=${ARCHIVE} --wildcards "${ACCT}" --no-anchored --strip-components=3 -C ${TEMPDIR} [21:00] did not work.

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [21:00] ... [21:00] Done anyone here have experience with 'Apport'? I want to know if it will work with applications that crashes with "SIGQUIT" (signal 3) instead of "SEGFAULT" (sig 11) [21:00] Is there an application like Network miner in Ubuntu ? [21:00] Tried that..... [21:01] alexxio, http://www.sorgonet.com/linux/grubrestore/ [21:01] maxx878, and if i have grub2? [21:01] wamicho: you mean like wireshark? [21:02] Ok i am back. [21:02] I have a important question if you are on irc and see people cracking websites what to do ? [21:02] hello guys, how do I disable lightdm on boot? [21:02] $ grub-install -v [21:02] grub-install (GRUB) 1.99-12ubuntu5 [21:02] alexxio, you should have told me before all the time and effort wasted [21:02] tar --extract --file=${ARCHIVE} --wildcards "*${ACCT}*" --no-anchored --strip-components=3 -C ${TEMPDIR} [21:02] How asked for my AVG output? [21:02] Still cannot find the file inside the tar [21:03] *Who? [21:03] maxx878, i'm sorry..actually i told at 21.32.23 [21:03] augusto: sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm [21:03] Nightwalkerkg1: me and someone else [21:03] What do you need? riffautae [21:04] Nightwalkerkg1: what video card do you have [21:04] DIamond ATI Radeon 9550 128mb [21:04] A really old video card. [21:04] tar --extract --file=${ARCHIVE} --wildcards "*admin*" --no-anchored --strip-components=3 -C ${TEMPDIR} [21:04] Ve2dmn : Something to analyse the files you get with wireshack [21:04] alexxio, http://ubuntuguide.net/how-to-restore-grub-2-after-reinstalling-windows-xpvistawin7 | try it [21:04] tar --extract --file=${ARCHIVE} --wildcards '*admin*' --no-anchored --strip-components=3 -C ${TEMPDIR} [21:04] Nightwalkerkg1: the open source driver should support that fine, are you sure it didnt fall back to vesa or something? [21:04] does not work. [21:05] maxx878 thanks [21:05] It appears that tar simply ignores any files inside the archive that have the "@" symbol in the name. [21:05] Drivers work but my monitor is unknown and i can't change the resolution. [21:05] Nightwalkerkg1, that card isn't that bad [21:05] However, when executed at the prompt, it works....just not in a script. [21:05] Extremely odd. [21:05] you can play anything from 2006 on it [21:06] does the monitor not support DDC? [21:06] I never called her bad,only old. [21:06] alexxio, even if have windows in driver C: and have another drive to install ubuntu you should always install grub on drive c: that is /sda1 [21:06] wamicho: Wireshark *IS* a packet analyser(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireshark). But I'm not sure exactly what feature you need... [21:06] There is another thing. [21:06] When i install the drivers from amd official site. [21:07] don't use the drivers from the ATI site [21:07] what's wrong with the open source ones [21:07] Can't change the resolution and monitor is unknown. [21:07] Nightwalkerkg1: walk through these steps http://askubuntu.com/questions/24287/monitor-resolution-messed-up-monitor-is-unknown/24294#24294 [21:07] But they work fine. [21:07] Only the older version of ATI drivers support a video card that old [21:07] Ok tnx. [21:07] ATI dropped support for them didn't they [21:08] Yes,they did. [21:08] That is the problem :D [21:08] since Xorg has its own drivers now [21:08] Ve2dmn, what you really want to Analise in wire shark [21:08] I've had really good experiences with the open radeon drivers for cards that are 5xxx and newer though [21:08] why do you need the official ATI drivers [21:08] the binaries [21:08] Don't need them. [21:08] Should I install the ATI driver from the website or should I install it from the Additional Drivers? I know how to install both, I just want to know which would be better performance wise [21:08] Just tried to install them. [21:08] what's wrong with the default ones [21:08] jeff_ubuntu, neither, unless you're experiencing any difficulties [21:09] wamicho: try this list of Packet Analyser software: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_packet_analyzers [21:09] jo-erlend_, I am like 3d effects are lagging etc, so I need to install one of them [21:09] Oh yes.The additional drivers show No prop. drivers in use on the system. === Alex`aw is now known as BaNz [21:09] Nightwalkerkg1: can you pastebin your /var/log/xorg.0.log [21:09] jeff_ubuntu, well... But the official drivers have issues of their own. [21:09] jeff_ubuntu, it really depends what ubuntu stable or un-stable you have installed [21:10] maxx878, im on 11.10 [21:10] /var/log/xorg.0.log: No such file or directory [21:10] riffautae [21:10] hi [21:10] jeff_ubuntu, you should not have any problem with ati drivers then [21:10] Nightwalkerkg1: it may have weird capitalization [21:10] i'm looking for gnome session manager... in window - like this http://bderzhavets.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/debpvrun1.png [21:11] I am going to check the partition.Back in a sec. [21:11] maxx878, what im saying though is I havent installed either one, im on a fresh install. It gives me the option to install from the Additional Drivers or from the website. Which would be the best [21:11] jeff_ubuntu, lspci | grep VGA can you paste the output [21:12] I permanetly switched from Windows 7 to Ubuntu 11.10 but ever since I switched over my touchpad on my netbook has been very sensitive and hard to use. I have edited the Sensitivity options in seattings but It did not work. My touchpad was not sensitive in windows. Please tell me what to do! Is their a command I have to run in the Terminal so I need a driver?

[21:14] maxx878, what? I just reinstalled Ubuntu, but that is my card I havent installed either driver yet [21:14] salve [21:14] gry: yes there is a gconf setting for that [21:14] riffautae, could you link me to some article or page about that? === thbishop is now known as Guest61520 [21:14] gry: yea just a sec have to find ti [21:14] What does %U do in "nautilus %U"? [21:14] jeff_ubuntu, then look for hardware drivers ubuntu will search and install the best ..it can [21:15] riffautae here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/732438/ [21:15] gry: http://bayu.freelancer.web.id/2009/05/03/showhide-desktop-icon-on-ubuntu/ [21:15] gry: this will keep nautilus from taking over the desktop when it is run and on startup [21:15] hello, i have weird problem - when i run ifconfig -a i see all interfaces, but they are not showing up under ifconfig [21:16] d3f4c3d: ifconfig up ethwhatever [21:17] riffautae, can i somehow automate that in the script ? [21:17] riffautae, i need them all available on startup [21:17] d3f4c3d, do you have wireless adapter [21:17] no [21:17] can i put ifconfig up into my /etc/network/interfaces ? [21:17] d3f4c3d, so what are you looking for then [21:18] d3f4c3d: if using networkmanager, you need to set it to avail to all users [i dont know how to do this from the terminal] other wise set it to auto in interfaces [21:18] hello ubuntu geeks [21:18] gry: http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s06.html (A list of urls for %U specifically) [21:18] I FOUND MY SOLUTION!!!! Yippie [21:18] d3f4c3d, do you have wired connection then [21:18] Nightwalkerkg1: what does xrandr give you? [21:18] maxx878, yes [21:18] how come ubuntu doesn't get it when i unplug my external monitor on macbook pro? it does nothing. it should switch back main monitor to the laptop monitor, but it does absolutely nothgin [21:19] d3f4c3d, so what are you intentions.. [21:19] riffautae, okay i see if there is some kind ifconfig up scripts [21:19] tar REQUIRES the -C option at the beginning of the command...causes havok at the end. [21:19] tar --extract -C ${TEMPDIR} --file=${ARCHIVE} --wildcards "*${ACCT}*" --no-anchored --strip-components=3 [21:19] maxx878, - when i run ifconfig -a i see all interfaces, but they are not showing up under ifconfig [21:19] lhammonds: so it works now with it at the beginning? [21:19] riffautae http://paste.ubuntu.com/732443/ [21:19] Yes [21:20] lhammonds: good to hear, have to keep that in mind [21:20] d3f4c3d, if you have only eth0 then there is no need for up .. [21:20] Nightwalkerkg1: what about the output from the commands this guy talks about http://askubuntu.com/questions/24287/monitor-resolution-messed-up-monitor-is-unknown/24294#24294 [21:20] Kept fiddling with the command prompt version and then updating the script version until it worked....took about 20 different combinations before I got it. LOL [21:20] trism, thank you. [21:20] in a sec. [21:21] I have found a distribution based on Ubuntu that is completely ignoring the copyright on it. It makes no reference at all about it using Ubuntu or the license conditions that come with it. Where should I report this to? [21:21] maxx878, i have 12 nics [21:21] awardle: what is the name of the distro [21:21] awardle: which distribution? [21:21] awardle, where at? [21:21] It is a ask4 Broadband live disk [21:21] d3f4c3d, you mean 12 nics in 1 pc [21:21] awardle: and you know its based off of Ubuntu how?/ [21:21] correct [21:22] I was given it by the Broadband company. [21:22] awardle: if they dont use any of the art or trademarks they prolly dont have to actually [21:22] Because when it booted it had the Ubuntu logo on it. [21:22] d3f4c3d, can u paste the output of lspci -v please [21:22] It used the Ubuntu splash screen [21:22] riffautae http://paste.ubuntu.com/732448/ here it is [21:22] maxx878, sure but why, im just curious [21:23] Nightwalkerkg1: yea your edid is messed up hmm [21:23] d3f4c3d, i am too [21:23] Nightwalkerkg1: somehow it needs to be overridden [21:24] maxx878, theres just 4 nic cards output (each nic is quadro port) thats it === drey is now known as drey_ [21:24] Ok riffautae can you give me the command to install the open source drivers.Like when i first installed the ubuntu.And to delete evrything else. [21:24] My box keeps saying "*** /dev/sdc1 will be checked for errors at next reboot ***" even though I've rebooted and run fsck on /dev/sdc1, the latter of which happily claims "/dev/sdc1: clean, 81722/8552448 files, 18827932/34180287 blocks" [21:24] Nightwalkerkg1: well it looks like the open source drivers are installed right, its your monitor that is being silly [21:24] i need to look into /etc/network/if-*.d script [21:24] Ok,any idea gow to fix it? :D [21:24] Nightwalkerkg1: or the open source drivers dont know how to read your edid :P i am looking to see how to override it [21:25] Nightwalkerkg1: what monitor do you have? [21:25] One sec. [21:25] d3f4c3d, why that +8 ..?? [21:25] It's an LG FLATRON ez T710B. [21:25] maxx878 what ? [21:25] I'm having a hard time mounting a partition in the LVM of a USB drive... any tips? [21:26] The one with the big "background" :D [21:26] d3f4c3d, you are confused and you are confusing other too..so address it well.. [21:26] maxx878, just drop it you have no idea what you talking about [21:27] d3f4c3d, yes...sorry about it.. [21:27] maxx878, all i needed was to add auto eth1 [21:27] iface eth1 inet manual [21:27] up ifconfig eth1 up [21:27] This is the screen before booting. http://imagebin.org/183207 [21:27] in my /etc/network/interfaces [21:28] The error is Error starting Volume Group: Failed to execute child process "vgchange" (no such file or directory) [21:28] While booting http://imagebin.org/183208 [21:29] And after it boots. http://imagebin.org/183210 [21:29] maxx878, i apreciate the effort though [21:30] d3f4c3d, you don't give us the output.. :(( [21:30] sudo service networking restart [21:30] doesnt work :( [21:30] unknown instance [21:30] hey guys, how do i get rid of the 'chat' on the messaging dropdown, or atleast make pidgin the default [21:31] Hello. I have a problem reinstalling a package - apache2. My /etc/apache2 folder was deleted, so I ran apt-get remove apache2, followed by apt-get install apache2 - but the folder is still empty and apache has not been installed again. What do I need to do, to completely reinstall it? [21:31] maxx878, perfect it worked, troubleshooting skills come from diggin in right direction... i learned it hard way [21:31] riffautae: any luck? [21:31] Also tried purge, did not work either [21:31] Nightwalkerkg1: put this in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/732457/ [21:31] Nightwalkerkg1: if that doesnt work i have more lines we can add [21:32] Sure thing. [21:32] d3f4c3d, can you share it with us === bl0wh0rd is now known as firmevato [21:32] maxx878, theres nothing to share - there was 12 nics like i said [21:32] they were visible in ifconfig -a [21:32] but not in ifconfig [21:32] i had to add them into /etc/network/interfaces but my requirement was NOT to give them IP addresses [21:33] Riffuatae no xorg.conf there [21:33] d3f4c3d, if you restart you again will have the same problem so you will require a script.. [21:33] *riffautae [21:33] so solution was to add "auto ethX [21:33] iface ethX inet manual [21:33] up ifconfig ethX up" where X is the number of nic [21:34] d3f4c3d, i i know that ..:)) [21:34] maxx878, thats also incorrect since i just tested it with service networking start and all interfaces went up, however i should restart [21:34] ccmonster: uninstall empathy and the chat item will disappear (after you log out/back in anyway) [21:35] Nightwalkerkg1: make one :) [21:35] maxx878, well if you knew that then that maybe would be more logical to propose instead of looking into lspci outputs, anyways up to reboot and test now :) [21:35] Nightwalkerkg1: or is there a xorg.conf.d ? [21:35] Nope and i cant make a new one [21:35] hi i have screwed up with NVIDIA-drivers now i cant access the GUI, can someone help me? [21:35] suddenly everything unity related (tab switcher, launcher, etc.) insists on staying always in the background, under other windows. How can I fix without loggin out and in again? [21:35] d3f4c3d, its not for me dear for other if they could have this problem :) [21:36] when i use right click make new document is unavalable [21:36] Nightwalkerkg1: you have to do it as root, such as sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [21:36] oh ok. [21:36] won't work [21:36] #ubuntu-us-ca [21:36] riffautae, before you could make any changes to /etc/x11/xorg.conf please back it up [21:36] I am trying to change the open-file-limit in 10.04. I have modified the /etc/security/limits.conf file but the changes are not taking. Any suggestions? [21:36] maxx878: he doesnt have one yet [21:37] maxx878, glad i could help i gues [21:37] maxx878: nothign t oback up [21:37] hi i have screwed up with NVIDIA-drivers now i cant access the GUI, can someone help me? [21:37] farewell, my advice maxx878 when troubleshooting try to look from different perspectives on the issue [21:37] Peter_: what is happening? also can you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log [21:37] its always to backup xorg.. even if you don't need to modify [21:37] riffautae made it [21:38] hola a todos a todas @ === skrewler_ is now known as skrewler [21:38] Nightwalkerkg1: ? === elz89_ is now known as elz89 [21:38] maxx878: the file doesnt exist. you cant backup something that doesnt exist [21:38] @riffautae i can't copy anything without GUI..... [21:38] I made a xorg.conf and pasted it in [21:38] saved it. [21:38] Should i restart now? [21:39] Nightwalkerkg1: yea [21:39] Back in a sec.

I have the card reader installed and "Pcsc_scan" will show the reader and the card but when I try to open Firefox with the card inserted it will not open. Alternatively, if Firefox is open and I insert the card, Firefox will crash and not restart until the card is removed. [21:45] let's do it simple [21:45] Thnaks dude. [21:45] i runned boot repair [21:45] nightwalkerkg: :D your welcome [21:45] boot-repair didn't repair [21:46] after i see grub menu [21:46] pfifo, defrag only exist in windows so you want it get there ..Linux is different concept [21:46] Oh,riffautae is normal that my monitor name has rade over it? [21:46] :P :D [21:46] ubuntu loads; otherwise if i select windows , a black screen appear and doesnt' boot [21:47] why is linux so damn user unfriendly? [21:47] http://paste.ubuntu.com/732461/ [21:47] lexflex: why should the kernel be userfriendly? [21:47] nightwalkerkg: is that displayed on the screen? that is kinda weird. make sure the verticle refresh rate is correct [21:47] lexflex: normally you dont have anything to do with the kernel [21:47] maxx878, I could write a program that defrags NTFS partitions, im suprised noone has made one yet [21:47] iceroot: hi there! [21:47] nightwalkerkg: the config i gave you limits it to 70 but that might be too high for that resolution [21:47] riffautae no,not on the screen on the Display properities. [21:48] nightwalkerkg: strange that it is red [21:48] iceroot: actually i was judging all linux by the ubuntu dist [21:48] maxx878, at grub prompt, if i press e on windows line and delete some character after uuid 7ACAXXXXXXX , it STARTS!!!how can i fix it? [21:49] iceroot: corrected it would be: why is ubuntu so damn user unfriendly? [21:49] alexxio_: edit /etc/default/grub which should contain the same as the line you edited [21:49] lexflex: you have a support question? [21:49] alexxio_, if could boot ubuntu you can see windows partitions [21:50] iceroot: i can't get my ubuntu to switch the main monitor back to the macbook display when i pull out the secondary monitor. [21:50] alexxio_, if could boot ubuntu you can see windows partitions, drive files etc... [21:50] lexflex: use the fn keys [21:50] maxx878, and so? [21:50] iceroot: not sure how? [21:51] lexflex: i guess this strange apple-thing should have something like an FN key [21:51] lexflex: but i never used it so i dont know [21:51] iceroot: yes it does, my logitech keyboard doesnt [21:51] lexflex: try the fn keys, normally with f5 [21:52] iceroot: that doesn't do anything. i might say i had to configure this in nvidia configs, not standard ubuntu. [21:52] Ok,the Displays prop. just got backo to Unknow and 1024x768.But the resolution on the screen is like i want it. [21:52] iceroot: standard ubuntu cant handle it as it seems [21:52] Posting my earlier question again, in case someone has time: [21:52] :S [21:52] 22:31 Hello. I have a problem reinstalling a package - apache2. My /etc/apache2 folder was deleted, so I ran apt-get remove apache2, followed by apt-get install apache2 - but the folder is still empty and apache has not been installed again. What do I need to do, to completely reinstall it? [21:52] !mac | lexflex [21:52] lexflex: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [21:53] lexflex: maybe there are hints to enable the fn keys [21:55] iceroot: it says that keyboard should work fine === BaNz is now known as Alex`aw [21:56] iceroot: in fact i think there is a workaround with disper, or auto-disper. but i can't seem to figure out how to install it [21:56] Hi guys, how can I install a GUI-less Ubuntu?

It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/ [23:01] tensorpudding, thanks -- have you heard of a phantom monitor getting detected? [23:02] that is "unknown" [23:02] no [23:02] with no video card or extra monitor connected [23:02] yeah -- pretty strange [23:03] don't see a bug logged for this yet -- is there a dev channel? [23:04] is 11.10 in beta? [23:04] or is there a way to remove monitors? [23:05] Right I have a laptop using the openchrome drivers for a VIA display card. I have tried to enable these driver for it to always default back to the software render, so I have identified that it needs this file which is missing unichrome_dri.so. Apt tells me is is in this package libbgl1-mesa-dri but when i install that package the .so file is not there.

Other buttons where there but nothing that let me select lxde. [23:15] there should be a bar going the entire way across.

[23:26] Where do I find a conf file responsible for keyboard shortcuts? [23:27] jhjh: have you run on the recovery console?

[23:30] it has no any errors [23:31] just segfaults and panics leaving no records [23:31] jhjh: how did you come to that conclusion [23:31] which conclusion [23:32] can you choose the recovery option in grub? [23:32] no I cannot, that kernel is alone [23:32] jhjh and you have installed Ubuntu or..?

[23:34] Was für ein kleinkariertes gentoo Arschloch [23:34] lordjj, i know they can be found in gconf-editor under metacity. there probably is another way, but its been a long time since ive used gnome2 [23:35] how do I change my startup sound from the jumanji sound to something else?

[23:35] real linux can boot bare, apparently proprietary ubuntuTMR cannot [23:35] . [23:36] notlistening, the grub menu is hidden by default on single boot systems. you have to press some key to get the menu, is that your question? [23:36] hello, I do not see an entry in /etc/fstab for the internal secondary disk I have, but it is mounted on boot, where else can I see the automount directives in? [23:36] MrKeuner, have you checked the uuids from blkid === jason is now known as Guest26431 [23:37] i want to know PROPRIETARY kernel parameters to make ubuntuTM to BOOT without SEGFAULTS in init! [23:38] escott, not really as he seems to say there is only one option in his grub boot menu unless he is not sure what i mean [23:38] i have free grub 0.97, not some proprieatary ubuntu junk [23:38] !attitude | jhjh [23:38] jhjh: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [23:38] sorry [23:39] jhjh, it would be helpful to have a better understanding of what is causing the panic. do you see any identifiable strings fly past? [23:39] escott, it's segfault in init [23:39] jhjh, so its not a panic [23:39] jhjh, yuck [23:40] then 'attempted to kill init' panic follows [23:40] ubottu:fick dich! [23:40] jhjh, your kernel is f'ed [23:40] escott, no and not sure how to do that [23:40] jhjh, you needed to apply the ubuntu diffs/patches against any vanilla kernel [23:40] escott, blkid /dev/scd1 does not help [23:40] MrKeuner, fstab entries are by uuid, not device name. run blkid to identify what sdc1 is [23:40] i have real proprietary ubuntu 3.0.1-12 kernel [23:41] vmlinuz-3.0.0-12-generic [23:41] jhjh, you mean chocolate or modded.. i wouldn't call it proprietary [23:41] for some reason the words propietary and ubuntu don't go together quite right :P [23:41] jhjh, you can try and modify your grub boot options to include single or text as you prefer, but i havent used grub1 in years so I dont know the grub menu editing commands for grub1 [23:42] e when your on the menu, might be totally wrong with that [23:43] escott, had to use sudo blkid... Now I can see the uuid of the device that is auto mounted, however, that UUID is not in my /etc/fstab [23:43] MrKeuner, if blkid is being silent try sudo blkid. [23:43] ok how to boot it most safely? [23:44] escott, is there a secondary registry for automounts? [23:44] Hi all. [23:44] MrKeuner, then it is being mounted by udisks. usually that would require a hotplug or your going into naulitus and clicking on the disak [23:44] Hi OliveGreen [23:45] what kernel parameters uses ubuntu with grub2? [23:45] jhjh, see if you can boot to singlwe [23:45] I am currently using the Gnome Shell instead of Unity, and would like to make it the default interface (i.e: So, that I don't have to always manually choose it in the login screen). How do I do that? [23:45] is this serious? dpkg: warning: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 1609 package 'gpodder-gpodder': [23:46] escott, which parameter is that? [23:47] jhjh single instead of quiet you could also try ro recovery nomodeset [23:47] notlistening, I am currently using the Gnome Shell instead of Unity, and would like to make it the default interface (i.e: So, that I don't have to always manually choose it in the login screen). How do I do that? [23:48] escott, actually I have two disks, one internal connected via SATA which doesn't require clicking, other external connected via usb requires the click, trying to make that a without click... [23:48] OliveGreen, it doesnt remember the last used one? [23:48] OliveGreen, i dont think you can autologin with non-unity with lightdm [23:48] (lightdm is the default logon screen manageR) [23:48] MrKeuner, if you want it to automount add it to fstab [23:49] escott, Well, that's what should happen, but every time it logs in, it automatically chooses Unity. I wonder if there's a way to change that.. :\ [23:49] escott, OK but do I need to modify anything at the udisks level too? [23:49] MrKeuner, no [23:49] escott, all right, thanks for help [23:49] anyone here done raid?

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [23:50] let;s seee [23:50] escott, you're really fast on garbage. [23:50] pff [23:50] escott, I see. So, how do we make it pick it up? [23:51] escott is a troll. [23:51] OliveGreen, that i dont know make sure it is running for one [23:52] OliveGreen, BUDDY. I've tried this a couple of weeks ago. And someone else as well. You can't autologin with nonunity using lightdm (which is the default logon manager) [23:52] haha, that won't be happening again [23:53] yagoo, so then I should change the logon manager in order for this to work, right? [23:53] OliveGreen, you may with gdm. But this means you have to install gdm. [23:53] OliveGreen, I can't guarantee it. But that's what I would try.. but lightdm won't let you [23:54] how do i remove the bar on the left? [23:54] j [23:54] or hide it [23:54] yagoo: In lightdm config you can specify default session. [23:54] yagoo, That's really dumb, to be honest. : \ [23:54] Shit, how do I know what is going on :( [23:54] no dice [23:54] hey, got a question about connecting two computers, via serial ports. i have them connected and working {ubuntu using minicom on one, winxp with hyperterminal on ther other). I can type between the two, but here's what iam looking for! I want to type commands into the winxpbix, and have the ubuntu box repeat back to me what ever it is i type. [23:54] still SEGFAUL?T [23:54] qin, he wants autologin. not default session [23:54] Damn sensor [23:55] yagoo: ah, then dunno. [23:55] Hello all. I have an ubuntu installer that complains it only supports 10.04 LTS when I run it. I am currently running 11.10. Is there any convenient way to trick the installer in to thinking my system is 10.04? [23:55] An application installer that is [23:56] itchee, you need install SLIP protocol in XP and use telnet [23:56] hi guys, how to setup sftp server? [23:56] this is to simulate a projector responding to me over the serial port. i am tring to write a small app to control the projector, and the projector will repeat what ever i send to it, which will help me insure that my program is working [23:56] phong__, no need to set that up! just install ssh, and sftp is ready.. [23:56] yeah how? [23:57] not i'm that good on ubuntu [23:57] phong__, just install ssh. [23:57] how to install ssh? [23:57] phong__, there's many clients that can do sftp.. filezilla ... [23:57] phong__, use your package manager [23:57] i did install filezilla , but dont know how to setup sftp on it [23:57] i installed it on windows [23:57] jhjh, slip will not help in my case, because the CPU>Projector connection is RS232 [23:58] phong__, can you at least know how to do an ssh shell? [23:58] nope i dont' [23:58] phong__, well did you even install ssh ? [23:58] i dont know what it is [23:58] !ssh [23:58] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage.

See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [23:58] Is the some type of program out there to do this? i am thinking along the lines of old school bbs? [23:58] can i install it with command? [23:59] sftp runs under ssh (it's a subsystem) [23:59] phong__, ya.. [23:59] ok i have terminal open [23:59] what do i type in? [23:59] <_spt_> phong__ : see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=429783#post429783 [23:59] itchee, you need null-modem connection to pass TCP/IP data by serial line === M4rc3l is now known as zz_M4rc3l [23:59] phong__, try the obvious [23:59] sudo apt install ssh ? [23:59] !telnet-ssl [23:59] hmm [23:59] it's apt-get [23:59] oh [23:59] thanks let me try [23:59] windows xp has no command shell which uses serial line, only telnel which uses tcp/ip
