[00:00] or is there a nub IRC [00:00] why my FRESHLY installed ubuntu SEGFAULTS and PANICS? [00:01] qin, ok finished install now what? [00:01] I'm having issues with my intel hd audio + realtek ALC662: I can only access the device as root, and when it does edign to let me access it, the sound output is really really faint. any suggestions? (the googles are not being overly helpful other than "try messing with the modprobe options".) [00:01] i did that command and it does installed....what happened next ? [00:01] jhjh, have a null modem cable between the two, and using Hyperterminal on the winxpbox, and minicom on the ubuntu, i can open the com ports and type back and forth. it isn't TCp/IP at all! now i am trying to get the ubuntu box to repeat back to me, what i type from the windows box, [00:01] i can do ftp to my IP now? [00:02] if someone would paste ubuntu's proprietary /etc/fstab and kernel parameter configuration, I would be be very glad === serdar is now known as Guest49285 === phong__ is now known as phong_ [00:02] qin, ??? [00:02] my install is pretty clean, let me dig the file out jhjh [00:03] qin, come on brother...what is the next time...i am not sure if ubuntu already has sftp server [00:03] anybody here looked at the new line of asus zenbooks? [00:03] jhjh: i don't have that folder - nilla must not have that application ? [00:03] all i want is to have sftp server so i can download or upload file [00:03] phong_: Now you can: ssh username@host_or_ip, for ftp it will look similar..

I have an ubuntu application 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? [00:04] Noom, you should have /etc/fstab unless ubuntu became so proprietary that junked it [00:04] itchee: old school. did things like that years ago. [00:04] guys when i booted up linux, i'm pretty certain unity 3d was not enabled - so i googled around, saw a post that said to terminal "unity" so i did. i've had warnings and errors piling up in the terminal for 10 minutes now, whats going on ? [00:05] don't i have to run ftp ? [00:05] jhjh: its not even hidden, nothing in /etc/ by that name [00:05] you meant ubuntu is already running sftp ? [00:05] don't i have to start the service or something? [00:05] help me to setup proprietary ubuntu /etc/fstab file [00:06] i'm trying to get unity3d "switched on" - was running 'unity' in a terminal the right thing ? [00:06] it has my /, proc, sysfs and devpts, is that ok? [00:07] phong_: Most servers are started after installation: sudo netstat -tulp to see if it is running. [00:08] hrm...i had another question - on the net i'm seeing guides for creating application launchers [00:08] people use "create new launcher" through their right click menu [00:08] i have no such option .... [00:08] qin, what am i looking for there? [00:08] is that normal, and how can i create app launchers without it ? [00:08] i had ubuntu kernel crashing and would liek to get some help :( [00:09] dr_willis, yep I have a projector at church that is connected to a winxp box, via old school cable with db9 connectors, using the harware com port on the back of the computer. I can send specially formated plain text commands to it, example *pow=on# or *sour=hdmi# and it will power on an off, or switch sources! i am trying to write a simple VB program to send these commands at the push of a [00:09] button. because i don't have 24/7 access to the projector and computer, i am trying to simulate this with two machines connected. [00:09] phong_: if you already installed ftp server, then ftp [00:09] qin, i dont install nothing [00:09] itchee, thats awesome :D [00:09] well how to install the ftp server then? [00:09] the projector will respond by repeating my commands, or if it is a baad command, respond by saying illeagal action. just trying to replicate that! [00:09] so the projector is running linux ? [00:10] all i've installed is the openssh u told me [00:10] nope, my second machine is [00:10] !ftpd | phong_ , get familiar with contents of following [00:10] phong_ , get familiar with contents of following: FTP servers: ftpd, proftpd, pure-ftpd, twoftpd, vsftpd, MuddleFTPd, wzdftpd - Graphical front-ends: PureAdmin, GProftpd (for GNOME), KcmPureftpd (for !KDE) - See also !FTP [00:10] do you even need the cable in place to test /replicate? why not just have VB create a special client app that responds in the same way ? [00:11] qin, :( just tellm e what to install in command line? [00:11] need to test via the cable to get the timing right, if two fast have to slow down the baud rate [00:11] aaaah ok so you're figuring out the protocol setup [00:11] <_spt_> Phong__ : checkout this thread about setting up fpt http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=429783#post429783 [00:11] surely you could get a linux box to listen on that port and just echo ? [00:11] phong_: sudo apt-get install ftpd (never used ftp, so guessing) [00:11] I'm having problems with ubuntu 11.10 capturing the mouse. Minecraft seems to capture it fine but Virtual box and Urban Terror can't seem to capture and hide it [00:12] thanks...i like that link [00:12] thanks _spt_ [00:12] that is what is am trying to do, but how to get the box to echo? not everly familiar with ubuntu [00:12] is there any thing I can supply to help with the diagnosis? [00:12] itchee - i wouldnt know where to start [00:12] i'm guessing you'll need to code something [00:12] i have a dell inspiron 530 running kubuntu, and since upgrading to 11.10. it often fails to fully shut down. it also is no longer seeming to always power the monitor down when it should [00:12] any ideas? [00:12] just some app that listens to a port for data, could be any language i guess [00:13] so is there like one guy in here trying to help us all ? [00:13] the old bbs systems would send you a menu, and then you would choose a menu item, and it would send you an new menu [00:13] kind what i am looking for [00:13] tbh itchee that's getting well beyond my skillset heh [00:13] maybe a script that would run in a serial terminal program??? [00:14] i would like to get someones attention for a few minutes, i have a couple very basic ubuntu questions [00:14] can someboty tell me PROPRIETARY UBUNTU KERNEL PARAMETERS which make it run without CRASHES? [00:14] have googled the hell out of it [00:14] google has been really, really, really dodgy lately [00:14] also example of PROPRIETARY ubuntu FSTAB file are appreciated [00:14] i cant find *a thing* [00:14] itchee: setting gopher would be this, but most universal is telnet [00:14] oh qin you're working your way down the list :D *waits patiently* [00:15] question: does anyone know how to update Java from update 26 to update 29? [00:15] oh yeah [00:15] ubuntu 11.10 64-bit [00:15] good night. someone here knows how to fix the tvtime without sound on ubuntu 11.10 with gnome 3? [00:15] jhjh: Are you for REALS looking for proprietary help? [00:15] avdeveloper, you will have to install your own from java.com [00:15] qin, what? [00:16] jhjh: Nothing. [00:16] hi [00:16] itaylor57: i installed it via .bin file from Java but it still says update 26 [00:16] qin, ok how to make a 'downloads' folder to be shared ? [00:16] sudo mkdir FTP-shared instead of that. [00:16] I am on Debian testing. Been using GNU/Linux since about 1992. Thought I would give Ubuntu a try in VM before I commit. Even though I hate Gnome3 (love Gnome2) I a forced to deal with it. Question; Is there a way to replace that ridicules Unity with a real Gnome 3 environment. Shell and everything. [00:16] hi??? [00:16] someone can say HI!!!!? [00:16] avdeveloper, thats because /usr/bin/java is linked to your 26 installed version [00:17] _spt_, i follow that link..how to make the 'Downloads' folder to be shared? [00:17] ooh [00:17] HI!! [00:17] i used real free linux and it booted fine without proprietary kernel parameters and fstab entries, why ubuntu is different? [00:17] thx [00:17] phong_: man pages of ftpd or online howto... [00:17] all too easy [00:17] Hey all, I need some help. I believe my ATI FGLXR driver is corrupt, and I want to know how to enable the default display driver. (I'm using LinuxMint, but I don't believe that will be much different.) [00:17] someone uses BackTrack?? [00:17] about the java... did you uninstall before upgrade to 64 bit [00:17] kapo .. I am [00:17] kapo I am dev on Back|Track [00:17] <_spt_> Phong__ : you will need to set the permision to read/write === michael is now known as Guest7626 [00:18] its good OS??

[00:18] I like it as it has a bit more than the normal Ubuntu version [00:18] kapo if pen testing it is the best. For using as a desktop it is about the worst. [00:18] can anyone help me add a blocklist to transmission 1.93? [00:18] i'm not very understanding this [00:18] Nevermind I found the answer-- editing /etc/lsb-release [00:19] Just installed wubi. Upon restart, and another restart, it shows purple, then black... [00:19] Anyone know how to enable the default display driver from the command line? Please! [00:19] and for WIFI? [00:19] kapo 90% of all the tools are root. As you know you log in as root pw toor. There is a reason for that.

Has anyone had or heard of any experiences running something more current on an Asus 1000? [00:21] use backtrack in a virtual box but have you ever done it kapo [00:21] Noom: If I have any attention, yes. [00:22] can someone paste me proprietary kernel parameters and fstab contents? [00:22] Jake7: new releases shiuld work fine [00:22] qin: haha - ok here we go - i've noticed i dont have unity3d - so i wanted it - i googled around and saw the suggestion to terminal "unity" and see what happens [00:22] so i did that, and i've got like 20 pages of warnings and errors, and its still running (looks hung) for about 30 minutes now [00:22] Jake7: lubuntu is good for low end machines [00:23] what does the orange border around an icon when you alt-tab in unity mean? [00:23] Noom: unity --replace (2d/3d depense from your grapfic card) [00:23] !time [00:23] Information about using and setting your computer's clock on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime - See https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/NTP.html for information on usage of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) [00:23] there is nothing wrong with using Back|Track on a VM. The best wifi adapters are all USB ones. [00:23] normally only firefox has it (on my machine) [00:23] Noom: Or better to test it compiz --replace [00:23] can i just kill this process in the terminal ? [00:23] kandinski, i think it means that it has a message for you (new email, new im etc) [00:23] right, but firefox? [00:23] dr_wilis: Thanks! I wonder why they haven't updated the hardware compatibility list? [00:23] escott: thanks [00:24] i was installed alsa mixer, but it don't works [00:24] I have a bash script with 3 different variables: A is a time of 6:30, B is the current time from the date command, and C is a time of 19:45. How can I compare the times to determine if B is before or after the other two? [00:24] Jake7: limited manpower [00:24] qin: can i kill the current "unity" process running in my terminal ? [00:24] without breaking anything [00:24] =>qxt .. when you got a minute I have a question. [00:24] Ph3arr3t, sure [00:24] dr_willis: Sounds reasonable. Thanks again! [00:24] Noom: --replace (it will replace current running instance) [00:25] Noom, if you lose focus on the terminal you may have trouble getting metacity to start. so you would have to ctrl-alt-f1 and login. export DISPLAY=:0; metacity --replace; [00:25] escott: you just had to go and confuse me didnt you [00:25] escott: Good job :) [00:25] Hi all. I dual boot into windows and after I've used windows for a bit and reboot into Linux, I can't get on the router. I have wpa_supplicant complaining that association timed out. [00:26] ty trying to get GMameui running, but it keeps asking for the executable. tried pointing it to Linux and win32 versions.. nope [00:26] qin: are you saying i need to create a new process, defining it like this "unity --replace 3d" ? [00:26] Would this be something with the router thinking im spoofing a mac address or something on the computer side? [00:26] also tries to native compile the source.. asks for a older version of something than I already have installed [00:26] Ph3arr3t: wants the path to xmame most likely [00:26] can someboty tell me PROPRIETARY UBUNTU KERNEL PARAMETERS which make it run without CRASHES? [00:27] Noom, if that confuses you I wouldn't ctrl-c the process in the terminal :) [00:27] /usr/share/games/ [00:27] I have a question about scripting the ubuntu desktop. I want to write a script that will reconfigure the f-keys, so I can have a wrapper for a certain program. My wrapper would free up f-keys on invokation, and reconfigure them back as unity had them on exit. [00:27] Does anybody know how you would do that? [00:27] escott: i think its hung...but i dont even know if i've done something bad lol [00:27] kandinski, look into xbindkeys [00:27] hmm hang on a sec dr_willis ... I'll try [00:27] Noom: No, rather: compiz --replace; and see what will happen, bear in ming what escott told you, since it may messup things temporarly. [00:27] ok i got it to work now [00:27] kandinski, i'd google ubuntu wiki xbindkey [00:27] yagoo: thanks a lot [00:27] what is the port foward for sftp? [00:27] kandinski, depends on the key, some like the suspend key are hardwired to the acpi tables, for others you can use xmodmap [00:27] 21 ? [00:28] or 22 [00:28] phong_, it runs within ssh.. it's the same port # [00:28] Ph3arr3t: /path/to/xmame [00:28] Noom, its not hung, you have just lost the ability to control the windows [00:28] qin: i think its just over my head tbh lol - what escott said makes 0 sense [00:28] well what is it? [00:28] phong_, thats why it's called a subsystem of ssh (sftp by default is installed with ssh) [00:28] sftp runs over ssh: 22 [00:28] escott: i cant still type in the terminal [00:28] unless you configure it otherwise [00:28] ok thanks i need to add that to router [00:28] thanks let me try [00:28] escott, thanks too. I need to capture the state, not just modify it, because then I need to put the keys back how they were (so my program can use f1, f2 etc while in fullscreen, but free them up while in window mode) [00:28] Noom, ctrl-alt-f1 and then ctrl-alt-f7 to get back [00:29] if someone has a working lightdm/autologin setup, can they pastebin lightdm.conf for me? [00:29] phong_, oh if you're running this over the internet.. you can test it-- but i'd do 2 things, set up my server ip as static (not dhcp), and change the server's default port from hacker attempts [00:29] i have not a clue [00:29] what are you talking about [00:29] lol [00:29] lol [00:29] escott: sorry - i mean, i CAN type in the terminal, its not broken, the process just doesnt seem to run [00:29] hey phong [00:30] phong_, if you said "port forwarding" on your router.. that gave me an idea you'd know at least what i'm talking about [00:30] sup guess [00:30] TY dr_willis it was after the .x11 ver [00:30] how do i get a room name [00:30] ? [00:30] Guest2223174, "pow" [00:30] Ph3arr3t: makes sence. [00:30] can someone help me with my ubuntu spoiled itself? [00:30] pow [00:31] i mean phong do you know [00:31] yagoo, i let router reserve the ip to that ubuntu [00:31] jhjh, you can't compile kernels. you're toooo new at it.. you should toy around with kernel compilation in a virtualbox [00:31] didn't to me though ..lol [00:31] i am still not quite get ur syaing [00:31] bbl [00:31] #name freechange [00:31] OMG, Think I take a look at Arch Linux. Really do not think that this hipster ipad wannabe joke is "Ubuntu" is my cup of test. This UI is even more embarrassing them Gnome3! [00:32] yagoo, compile kernels wtf you're talking about? [00:32] wow, to think it would come to this. Sad. [00:32] yagoo, ok listen... the IP is always giving the same one to ubuntu, because i set my router to reserve it. === paxtoncamaroafk is now known as paxtoncamaro91 [00:32] like is there a command while im in the room to change from guest to a name ? do you know xchat commands phong? [00:32] anyone able to help me remove an "unknown" monitor [00:33] and within router i port 22 to that IP of the ubuntu [00:33] Guest68932: /nick new_name [00:33] !kernel oneiric [00:33] yagoo, do you understand me? [00:33] Guest68932: /join freenode i'd suggest, you need some serious help... [00:33] yagoo, escott, since you've been so helpful. The other thing I want to do is a keyboard mapping that has timeouts for the deadkeys, so I can have a mix of US and ES keyboards depending on how close I key certain combinations. Example: ' + a would produce á if keyed in a short interval, but 'a if the a is keyed after the ' deadkey timeout. So "deadkeys" with timeouts. What to google for? [00:33] i dunno why but when i hit ctrl+alt+f1 it wouldnt let me log in with my u/n p/w [00:33] elz89: Sweet. [00:33] i have two screens in "Displays" but i really only have one [00:33] so whatever was running in that terminal window is dead now - i had to reboot [00:34] kandinski, i'd probably google or apt-cache search "scim" [00:34] all my app is showing on the "unknown" screen [00:34] what is the repo for launchpad.net ? [00:34] #name (freechange) [00:34] NoReGreT: what do you mean? [00:34] kandinski, why not just compose key?

[00:39] bonhoffer: on my intel laptop the special fn keys tyrned them on and off alfo [00:39] that was weird, got banned o.O [00:39] dr_willis, i'm really struggling here -- researched a good bit today, but no info on this [00:40] AbuMaia: If you want it all in bash only, using seconds since 1970 would be easiest. [00:40] dr_willis, alfo? [00:40] tonyyarusso, when proprietary ubuntu kernel is passed only root parameter it segfaults! [00:40] AbuMaia: Also: man date is full of tricks [00:40] tonyyarusso: what's wrong... i'm talking about a software repository... a source... so i can apt-get software... or is that dead in new ubuntu releases ?? [00:40] jhjh: There is no such thing as a proprietary ubuntu kernel. [00:40] bonhoffer: i just hit the fn-whatever keys to toggle mine [00:40] anyway -- i'm on a desktop -- no idea why this doesn't work out of the box [00:40] tonyyarusso, we told him.. but he keeps talking like that [00:40] tonyyarusso: how would I do that? I used to have it as "if A < B and B < C", but something changed with 11.10 that that doesn't work anymore. [00:41] NoReGreT: You can not install Launchpad via APT. [00:41] reposting: hey there. I just did a clean install of Ubuntu 11.10 server 64bit and then installed nfs-kernel-server (cmd: sudo apt-get install nfs-kernel-server -y) and the install was successful. I went ahead and modified the /etc/exports file. Something really simple: /home/user1 host1(ro,sync,no_subtree_check) then ran the exportfs command. Then the following error came. See http://pastie.org/2833878 [00:41] dr_willis, fair enough [00:41] escott: i've got one last question for you - when i google around about app shorcuts i see people talking about "right click -> create launcher" i dont have this option, has something changed in the latest ubuntu? how do i easily create launchers? [00:41] not kernel, but secret parameters [00:41] dr_willis, i would push a button if i had one [00:41] !wait | zromayn [00:41] zromayn: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [00:41] noomy, it was for gnome 2, now it's unity [00:41] jhjh: There is NO SUCH THING. [00:41] jhjh: askubujtu.com had a list u think [00:42] askubuntu.com [00:42] then why ubuntu segfaults with default parameters? [00:42] ah ok - does unity have a way to create "shortcuts" ? i dislik needing to create a file for every single app i install [00:42] zromayn, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo [00:42] yagoo: thanks too for the "ubuntu wiki " tip [00:42] * yagoo googled ubuntu wiki nfs [00:42] np [00:42] jhjh: Because you broke something. I don't know what's wrong with your system, but that's doesn't change the fact that there is no "secret" to it. [00:42] kernel /boot/vmlinuz-3.0.0-12-generic root=/dev/sdb6 --> bam! segfault [00:43] and yagoo and escott: thanks for answering with "this is the correct keyword to google for". Most of us would RTFM happily if we knew which part of TFM is that we are looking for! [00:43] yagoo++, escott++ [00:43] no easy way to create launcher files in unity? [00:43] *i* broke something? [00:43] noomy, Unity is great, but it does seem half-finished [00:43] noomy, you can pin them to sidebar instead [00:43] !info alacarte | noomy [00:43] like where is the wine menu with all your wine apps? [00:43] noomy: alacarte (source: alacarte): easy GNOME menu editing tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.13.2-2ubuntu3 (oneiric), package size 52 kB, installed size 348 kB [00:44] is unity still considered GNOME ? would that app even work ? [00:44] can you run a perfect world from wine? [00:44] noomy, yes it still works [00:44] ah, great i'l ltry that, thanks - but my issue is slightly complicated [00:44] Unity solves very well many of the problems it set out to solve, but in the process it decided not to care about many "lesser" problems [00:44] A perfect world wouldn't need WINE. [00:44] i have a jnlp file that launches another app, so i need to pin the launcher, not the app [00:45] can someone paste me fstab ubuntu uses? [00:45] Guest68932: is "a perfect world" a program? [00:45] if your os is ubuntu how would you install the game on ubuntu [00:45] unity is a work in progress.. yes. [00:45] there are classic gnome like menu indicator applets you can use [00:45] ? [00:45] ubottu: I don't post here without doing my due diligence. I have googled it, and even searched help.ubuntu.com, I reposted because the messages were piling up and didn't want ppl to miss mine. [00:45] zromayn: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:45] jhjh: No, fstab is different on every system. [00:45] askubuntu.com has a nice list [00:45] zromayn: don't answer to ubottu, it's a bot. Someone triggered it, but don't take it personally. [00:45] well in .config/monitors.xml there is the unknown monitor --i'm going with that [00:45] how would you install the game a perfect world on ubuntu ? [00:45] Guest68932: googling for it [00:46] Guest68932, wine? appdb? [00:46] Guest68932: free to play mmporg? [00:46] j [00:46] I would just download the installer and hit it [00:46] yagoo: you have just sent me to the quick nfs-server setup. that doesn't help me with the issue I'm facing. [00:46] I seem to have a 50/50 success with indie game downloads [00:46] so perfect world would work with wine? [00:47] Guest68932: just try [00:47] it's what I do [00:47] i need proper ubuntu fstab file which passes checks by propritary ubuntu startup scripts [00:47] run the installer, then go to the unity thing and type in the name [00:47] ok one last openJDK related question - every time i launch this app, java has to download all the client files (its as if its not caching temp files) how do you config openJDK ?? [00:47] !appdb | Guest68932 [00:47] Guest68932: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [00:47] jhjh: There are no proprietary startup scripts, so stop saying that. [00:47] Guest68932: what the hell, I am downloading it [00:48] after i config monitors.xml how do i see the changes [00:48] reload the display [00:48] I still need a working fstab example [00:48] some init scripts may read options passed to the system by the kernel.. like the 'text' option [00:49] jhjh: My fstab works on my machine. It will not work on your machine. You can't just copy that file randomly. [00:49] kandinski: unity thing?? is there some kind of unity control panel i've not found ?> [00:49] i need special ubuntu entries to make sure my fstab was not corrupted by free linux [00:49] ok, so when i reboot and it all goes to hell -- how do i get to a command prompt? [00:50] not stuff like / or swap [00:50] noomy_: the lens that pops up when you hit your symbol key [00:50] boot a live cd.. look at its fstab perhaps. [00:50] lense o.O [00:50] hit windows/ubuntu key, type in name of wine program, enter [00:50] yep [00:50] dr_willis, isn't there a way to get out of xwindows [00:50] oooh the dash, got ya [00:50] adn to a command prompt [00:50] thought you were talking about some config GUI or something [00:50] like control f1 or soemthing [00:50] Guest68932: the Perfect World installer segfaults when run on my machine [00:50] i dont even know if i'm on unity3d >.< i dont think this environment [00:50] problem is I recycled live cd already, I didn't knew ubuntu destroys itself wach 2 days [00:51] dr_willis, he is using grub 1 and trying to boot 11.10 [00:51] *each [00:51] ok -- i'll boot with livecd to fix things if this screws them up [00:51] Guest68932: I am running a close to stock 11.10 with the stock wine, so I think the answer is "no unless you tinker" [00:51] did anyone see my openJDK question earlier ? [00:51] Quick question.. Is the nvidia 8400gs just a crappy card or are there some issues with nVidia in 11.10? My intel laptop performs better than this 1GB desktop card... [00:51] zromayn, i'm guessing there may be a blacklist rule for home directories.. try apropos nfs or check the manpage if such a thing is possible [00:52] is there a way to reload the gui without rebooting? [00:52] should sysfs and devpts be there? [00:52] re-load monitors.xml etc [00:52] are you using unity or gnome3? [00:53] yagoo: thanks, I'll look into that. Does anybody else have any other suggestions. Anything to help me figure out this error message see http://pastie.org/2833878 [00:53] bonhoffer, you can sudo service lightdm restart but that will kill your desktop session [00:54] i need proper ubuntu fstab file which passes checks by ubuntu startup scripts [00:54] escott, no problem -- isn't there restartx or something? [00:54] bonhoffer, restarting x is done by logging out [00:54] last question here :D - openJDK related question - every time i launch this particular app, java has to download all the client files (its as if its not caching temp files) how do you config openJDK ?? i cant find an quivalent for "javaws - viewer" [00:54] bonhoffer, well thats what restarting the dm service will do. there used to be nozap but that is disabled [00:54] bonhoffer: sudo service lightdm stop [00:54] i'll try that [00:55] if it doesn't work isn't there a ctl+f1 option to get to cli [00:55] !nozap [00:55] !dontzap [00:55] To re-enable the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination that restarts your X server see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap [00:56] !console [00:56] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [00:56] dr_willis: I use ubuntu tweak to reenable such things [00:56] i need proper ubuntu fstab file which passes checks by ubuntu startup scripts [00:56] and ctrl-shift-T and guake with f12 for my terminals [00:56] dr_willis, ha -- i know the console -- in the past i've stepped out of x to a bunch of terminal options [00:57] bonhoffer: ctrl+shift+t is a great shortcut to know [00:57] which reminds e of another question [00:57] i bet about 20 people just opened new tabs in firefox [00:57] lol [00:57] heh [00:57] noomy, right that's undo tab! [00:57] I meant ctrl+alt+T [00:58] sorry guys [00:58] hahahahaha [00:58] at least I did not make you logout or whatever [00:58] LOL! [00:58] haha [00:58] good point [00:58] I still remember oldstyle IRC griefing [00:58] "ctrl+q gets you free cookies" ? [00:58] "hit alt+F4 and it will fix your problem" <<< DON'T [00:58] yea, good old alt+f4 [00:58] anyway, another question [00:58] How can I copy only the files from the source that are larger in size than those of the destination? [00:58] hello [00:59] all: ok, I'll guess I'll keep looking around about my issue [00:59] alt f4 closes the open window [00:59] I want to be able to launch the "new message" window from thunderbird from anywhere on ubuntu, just using ctrl+tab+m [00:59] !ask | lele_ [00:59] lele_: 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 [00:59] just like for the terminal [00:59] but for sending a new message even if thunderbird is not open [01:00] any idea how to do that? [01:00] you'd probably need a script that runs on keybind, to open t-bird [01:00] do what [01:00] 'cus you i doubt you can pump in a "new message" command to linux and have it just figure it out === carlos is now known as Guest97316 [01:00] noomy_: right [01:00] although....i have a keyboard button that opens the mail client, maybe you can just have a cmd that opens it and makes a new msg? [01:01] i'm no coder, but couldnt you say "run tbid -> wait5 -> new msg" [01:01] and for more stability, have it check if tbird is open first [01:01] yeah, trying to figure it out [01:01] under ubuntu how to format a partion to btrfs filesystem [01:01] i'm guessing you can just make a sh script or something [01:02] thats beyond me [01:02] i could do it in java :p [01:03] noomy_: nah, thanks, I am already researching it [01:03] mao: using gparted is the easiest [01:03] i have a really simple straightforward question - whats the syntax to run a file (i'm trying to create my own launcher) [01:03] mao: slect btrfs some alt distros might not have it [01:03] noomy_, there is no syntax, just the full path to the file, or the relative path to the file [01:04] ok let me rephrase, how does an idiot do this :P i'm not sure what to make the file (.bin???) i'm not sure if i have to have "sh" on the command [01:04] etc [01:04] do i have to cd first? [01:04] noomy_, you have to chmod +x filename to make sure it is executable [01:04] mao: now for the bad it does not have the corrct options at install stuff like ssd an compression have to be enabled by hand [01:05] and [01:05] Rains: I am using ubuntu10.04,there is no btrfs option on gparted [01:05] *sneaky sneaky linux* [01:05] hey all. can anyone recommend a nice mysql client w/ a gui view? im looking for something similar to phpmyadmin but not web based [01:05] mao: oh i dont think 10.04 had support for it [01:05] ok escott (not sure what that means but i can run the cmd) and its a .bin file ? [01:05] mao: btrfs is still very new/unstable [01:05] I want try fedora 16,which make btrfs for its default filesystem [01:06] mao: fedora 16 has full btrfs even with the corect options [01:06] noomy_, so if you download a file from the internet it is not assumed to be a runnable program (not like windows where anything ending in .exe gets run by double clicking). you have to use chmod to indicate it is a program [01:06] hi, i'm on oneiric and was using unity3d so far. i have set systray-whitelist=['all'] using the dconf-manager and this works fine on unity3d, but on unity2d (which I just switched to) the extra icons which do show up on unity3d do not show. [01:06] is this a known issue? [01:06] gogeta: thanks ,i will have a try [01:06] ok escott - i understand - but now i cant even run the .jnlp file from the terminal [01:07] so no clue how a script will do it [01:07] i STILL need help [01:07] noomy_, well figure out how to do that. copy it into a file. make the first line #!/bin/bash and mark the file executable. thats a script [01:07] jhjh: okay? [01:08] escott: appreciate the help, but i'm so lost right now lol, why cant i just do terminal "/etc/etc/etc/filename.jnlp" [01:08] i really dont understand why that wont work, when i can double click the file just fine [01:09] noomy_: you need to give it execute perms.. [01:09] starting to think this is all too far beyond me :( [01:09] noomy_: sudo chmod +x /etc/etc/filename.jnlp [01:09] Are there any arguments for the cp command to only copy files that are larger in the source than the destination? [01:09] noomy_: chmod +x FILENAME [01:10] did that gogeta [01:10] I don't see anything in the man pages [01:10] it just says "command not found" [01:10] Hi there I wanted to ask does nvidia have anything to do with the wobble windows effect i get in ubuntu? if so why can it work on windows xp? [01:10] when i try to run the jnlp [01:10] noomy_, do ls -l /etc/etc/etc/filename.jnlp if you dont see rwx then its not marked as a program and you need to chmod +x it to turn it from rw- to rwx [01:10] noomy_: then ./etc/etc/filename.jnlp [01:10] noomy_: what is jnlp anyway [01:10] java launcher [01:10] noomy_: ./ is how you run a exec [01:10] java FILENAME ? [01:10] i NEED the dot ??? [01:11] BangBusRUs, do you use real nvidia driver or noveau crap? [01:11] noomy_: Yes, the dot [01:11] noomy_: yep and java lancher should work to [01:11] *facepalm* [01:11] I'm not sure, how would I find out what I'm using? [01:11] noomy_, its also possible that java doesnt register how to execute java programs in which case you need to say java /etc/etc/etc/filename.jnlp [01:11] noomy_: double *facepalm* [01:11] tomreyn: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-2d/+bug/847525 [01:11] Launchpad bug 847525 in unity-2d (Ubuntu) "[panel] systray whitelist does not support '[all]' value that should allow all applications to show" [Undecided,Confirmed] [01:12] thanks trism :) [01:12] raisin_, not that im aware of. if can selectively copy newer files only [01:12] well, its not running [01:12] double click works but not terminal [01:12] i dont get it [01:13] noomy_: java /etc/etc/filename.jnlp [01:13] noomy_: the DE does all the thinking for you :P its not as simple as it sounds [01:13] * kantlivelong hates DE :/ [01:13] escott: I'm not familiar with making bash scripts. How can file sizes be compared? [01:13] now its not even running as double click wth did you guys make me do >.< [01:13] noomy_, there is a command line tool mimeopen which you can think of as double-click for the command line. its a bit of a crutch to use though [01:13] noomy_: lol [01:14] noomy_: ps aux | grep java plz [01:14] raisin_, ls -s filename | awk '{print $1}' [01:14] what?

I may just have to use the diff command and copy the rest manually :| [01:15] java was running afaik [01:15] noomy_: java FILENAME does nothing?

[02:14] xangua: the last package built in that ppa was 6 weeks ago [02:14] jmcantrell: then wait [02:14] Oh Jesus H. Christ.... [02:14] E_Roc, my understanding is that usb boot depends on the bios, and not all bioses like to boot usb. if yours is older that could be the problem [02:14] Someone tell E_Roc about mounting [02:14] E_Roc: I think there was a problem when you made the USB [02:14] E_Roc, oooh. You made a live USB? [02:14] If you can burn it to CD then maybe that would work [02:15] i can read the usb from my real laptop [02:15] kantlivelong, thats just a theme issue. try gnome-tweak-tool [02:15] but not my older [02:15] and i cant burn it on a cd because my older machine doesnt have a cd drive [02:15] you can make a live cd and then make your usb inside of that os E_Roc [02:15] Most older laptops cant boot from usb [02:15] E_Roc, you mean it will boot on your laptop but not the older machine [02:15] live cd?

[02:16] xangua.

[02:19] haylo_ , a CD is usless to me [02:19] it can read it? [02:21] anyone know how to get firefox 8? [02:21] jmcantrell: the beta?

[02:37] escott: thanks [02:37] ne1 know how to get back the classic desktop toolbar/launcher [02:38] its set up without a proxy [02:38] Hey, ubuntu 11.10 user wondering if anyone else has tried to usbip on 11.10. I cant seem to get the kernel modules for usbip to install/load. They dont exist after apt-get install usbip [02:39] theborger, i think those are all ATA fakeraid bios. can't find the master list for PCI cards for hardware raid [02:40] escott: ill dig throught the kernel [02:41] whats my problem with sudo: i put "username ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL" via "sudo visudo" but it still often asks me for my password when i do some sudo command. whats the issue? [02:41] Does anyone know how to turn on verbosity while ubuntu is booting? [02:41] dijonyummy: doesn't sound like a good idea to not wanna use password ;) [02:42] I'm having an odd wireless networking issue: my Ubuntu laptop connects to the AP fine, gets an IP, the icon and ifconfig show it as connected; but can't ping anything (not even the router). This is only happening today. Any suggestions on where to start digging? [02:42] <_s3gfault> Neldogz, remove quiet from kernel boot line in grub [02:42] Neldogz, modify /etc/default/grub to noquiet nosplash [02:42] Neldogz, then rerun update-grub [02:43] _s3gfault: i used grub customizer and removed quiet splash, saved it and rebooted [02:43] thank you escott, i am going to give that a shot [02:44] xangua: so in ubuntu 11.10 i cant avoid putting password? i think in 10.10 i set it up do not require password. === sythe is now known as sythe_ [02:46] prototrout: /etc/resolv.conf also ping 8.8.8.8 [02:48] qin: Can't ping 8.8.8.8; /etc/resolv.conf is (slash is newline): # Generated by NetworkManager/domain Belkin/search Belkin/nameserver 192.168.2.1 [02:48] what's the Ubuntu equivalent of /dev/audio? === sythe_ is now known as sythe [02:48] /dev/snd/by-path/*?

What is the best security setting for fastest access? I was running Ubuntu 10.04 for a while, and since I upgraded to 11.10, internet seems to be slower [02:50] escott: like this ? GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="noquiet nosplash" [02:50] how do I make the battery indicator visible in Ocelot? [02:50] <_s3gfault> dijonyummy, try it this way user ALL = NOPASSWD: ALL [02:50] dluzius, please stop coming on here every night to ask the same question [02:51] dluzius, you have your answer it won't change [02:51] escott: default gateway is the router, "link-local" has gateway * and genmaks 255.255.0.0, 192.168.2.0 has gateway * and genmask 255.255.255.0 (need any other fields?) [02:51] dluzius, you are wasting everyones time [02:51] dluzius: already check on energy settings¿ [02:51] escott: drop that attitude [02:51] xangua, he has been on here three nights in a row, with a known acpi bug, the only fix for which is a kernel recompile [02:52] xangua, agree [02:52] xangua, if you want to walk him through the recompile feel free to do so but its the same question every night [02:52] no, escott is right, I am like a stuck record [02:52] acpi is neither a friend of mine :/ [02:52] bjrohan: wpa2-personal with AES [02:52] Thank you :-) [02:53] Neldogz, thats correct [02:53] thank you sir! [02:53] dluzius, i wish there was a better answer than that but you are on hardware that just isnt supported fully right now. hopefully in a few months it might be better [02:54] prototrout, that sounds correct, can you ping 192.168.2.1 [02:55] I'm running gnome 3 and it keeps locking up on me after about 15 minutes of being logged in [02:55] any idea's? [02:55] are you doing anything at all during lockup? [02:55] pushpop: by locking up, do you mean - mouse freezes, screen becomes unresponsive etc etc? [02:55] escott: Nope. [02:55] One more question. My audio is also garbled, both internet videos, CD's, as well as even the speaker test. Any idea why? I have selected all audio settings, the only one the works is analog stereo duplex [02:56] Since installing 11.10, vim is slow as hell when starting, closing, and writing files. Any idea what's going on here? [02:56] dhasenan_: no [02:56] bjrohan try killing pulse audio "killall pulseaudio" [02:56] phlak_user, yes thats exactly what I mean [02:57] pushpop: can you do a ctl+alt+f1 to get to text console and alt+f7 to get back? [02:57] pushpop: we need a bit more info, what are you doing at the time? are you attempting to search? [02:57] WIGGMPk - just did, still garbled :-( [02:57] phlak_user, thanks. I'll wait for a few more responses before closing the polls. [02:57] escott: I have Wireshark on the laptop and I'm seeing some traffic on that, just no replies to my packets (except ARP) [02:58] phlak_user, I can ctl+alt+f1 to get to other consiles yes [02:58] WIGGMPk For a while it would work not garbled, but that was rare, so I know it is possible. [02:58] phlak_user, just that session hangs [02:58] pushpop: and can you login to a text console and run top [02:58] prototrout, sounds like you arent connected to the router [02:59] pushpop: do you have the "kill x-server" keyboard combo enabled? to restart gnome-shell [02:59] phlak_user, yes [02:59] And the results are in! With one respondent, nobody knows why vim might be slow. Thank you, and drive safe. [02:59] WIGGMPk, i dont [02:59] Does anyone here work for a US corporation that has deployed Ubuntu to a considerable number of computers? [02:59] pushpop: now that top is running, can you press P to sort in decreasing order of cpu usage? [02:59] pushpop: are you using any custom gnome3 theme's or shells? [02:59] WIGGMPk, yes [03:00] pushpop: and check the process at the top with highest usage (and how much) [03:00] pushpop: is that a custom gtk theme or a custom gnome-shell? [03:00] phlak_user, not hung at the moment [03:00] hsp: ask in offtopic channel [03:00] WIGGMPk, gtk theme [03:01] phlak_user, seeing if there is a way to fix it from happening [03:01] pushpop: when does it become unresponsive? [03:01] hi [03:01] pushpop: go into your keyboard settings and enable the keyboard combo to restart x-server "ctrl + alt + backspace" [03:01] pushpop: you can do that if you can find out what is causing this to happen [03:01] WIGGMPk, ok will do but how will that resolve the issue [03:01] 1 step at a time mate [03:01] the ubuntu server installs with graphical or in console mode? [03:02] phlak_user, it seems to be happening for no reason [03:02] WIGGMPk, ok [03:02] lvidal_: console [03:02] pushpop: after that is enabled, create the lock up (however you do it) then restart x (via the keyboard combo) log back in, check system monitor for "gnome-shell" (or anything using a lot of cpu usage %) [03:02] pushpop: do that and report back [03:02] aeon-ltd: great [03:03] WIGGMPk, ok [03:03] lvidal_: its roughl the same, run through menus but keyboard only [03:03] lvidal_: after the install you can just install a graphical interface anyway [03:03] aeon-ltd: no, really, that's what I want, I'm not upset :D [03:04] WIGGMPk, is that a custom shortcut [03:04] escott: That would be odd. I see a DHCP ACK (which gives me my IP) but nothing after that from the router (except some things with the "SSDP" protocol every once in a while; don't think that's relevant) [03:04] WIGGMPk, under keyboard [03:04] pushpop shouldnt be, your running ubuntu 11.04 or 11.10 right? [03:04] lvidal_: oh ok, sorry for the misunderstanding :) [03:05] 11.04 [03:05] is there a way to tell wubi install lubuntu instead? [03:05] like a switch or something.... [03:05] I want to install it on VMWARE and access it like a server from my host machine. I hope I can do that. [03:06] lvidal_: yes; you can use virtualbox too [03:06] WIGGMPk, I see nothing with "ctrl + alt + backspace" [03:06] n0yd, you can sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop after the install, or perhaps you can point wubi towards a different cd image (I don't know much about the wubi install process) [03:06] phlak_user: it is fast with virtualbox? [03:06] meh [03:06] n0yd, no but you can instal ubuntu then install it lubuntu is a desktop realy on top of a little more basic ubuntu. [03:06] is it possible to remove a wireless network in gnome3?? [03:06] ya im good on that [03:07] pushpop: go to Keyboard Layout > click the layouts tab > click the options button > select "key sequence to kill the x server" [03:07] im just gonna burn lubuntu. i didnt wanna waste a cd [03:07] lol [03:07] phlak_user: all I need is to set it as a develop web server, for testing before production [03:07] n0yd, what does burning a cd have to do with wubi? [03:07] escott, it saves me from burning a iso [03:08] WIGGMPk, got it thx [03:08] lvidal_: Ubuntu Server is command-line-only. [03:08] pushpop: k now recreate the issue, restart x, log in, check to see who the culprit is [03:08] n0yd, ok... there are some very important distinctions between a wubi system and a normal installed system [03:08] n0yd wubi is not really for advanced users it is a tool for people with MS [03:09] WIGGMPk, so I check whos hogging cpu? [03:09] pushpop: precisely [03:09] haylo_, no shit. but this isnt for my pc. this is for another user. [03:09] tonyyarusso: from the base yes, after that anything goes [03:09] !language | n0yd [03:09] n0yd: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [03:09] tonyyarusso: yep, I know, I don't need a graphical interface. In fact, I don't want a graphical interface. I'll be looking the websites on my host machine. [03:11] ya n)yd what did someone send you here to ask there stupid questions for them lolz [03:11] quick question, is empathy really that horrible that there is no way to filter join/part messages? [03:11] haylo_, im helping a new user [03:12] is anybody playing sokoban or ksokoban ? [03:12] WIGGMPk: is very limited for irc [03:13] I have a backgrounds.xml file with a bg slideshow. It was working fine on 11.10 until i changed bg...now I can't find the option to change back to the slideshow and doing a gconftool-2 -t string --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename "/path/to/xml.xml" no longer works...any ideas? [03:13] xangua: seems to be limited all around.. thanks [03:13] hey nOyd i thought lubuntu wasnt an official buntu yet- there may be some problems with wubi installer- does it install xub and kub allright? === DJ is now known as Guest6893 [03:15] Is wibi like uNetbootin in terms of making a liveUSB? [03:15] no reo it is a windows exe file for making a side by side linux MS install [03:16] escott: Hmm, it looks like the router sent out the ACK multiple times (the request went out multiple times but the laptop only saw one ACK). Maybe the laptop's network card is just going flaky. [03:16] what's the command in a terminal to see the free space on a drive? like /media/sda1 [03:17] hey i said i'd never come back after getting advice that broke my system [03:17] well i came back [03:17] for one reason [03:17] FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU [03:17] BITTCHES [03:17] matlock: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:18] I love how nobody takes responsibility any more, always point the finger [03:19] anyone know how to change bgs from the command line in 11.10? [03:19] anyone figure out how to run LOGMEIN in Ubuntu or know of a alternative? [03:20] ariqs: $ df -h [03:20] bekor: What are you actually trying to accomplish?

[03:21] bekor: Well, you can just use any combination of VNC client/server for that. [03:22] realy? [03:22] I am getting the following error when starting compiz http://pastebin.ca/2093244. Any help on this ? [03:22] Sure. Things like LogMeIn are just trying to dumb things down for people who can't set up port forwarding on their router, basically. [03:22] not sure how that works [03:22] haria40: if you want to configure compiz on oneiric use 'compiz settings manager', not compiz icon [03:23] !ccsm | haria40 [03:23] haria40: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' (or 'simple-ccsm' for pre-Oneiric). If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [03:23] _s3gfault: thanks, it worked, the visudo thing [03:24] so i would need vnc from the computer i was using also is that correct? [03:24] does anyone know how to get rid of the global menu that appears under the panel in gnome-shell when using a transparent theme in ubuntu 11.10? === tHe is now known as Guest16747 [03:26] any tips to speed up ubuntu for older comps?

Second, pick low-memory applications (which is what Lubuntu aims to do for you). Third, put as much RAM in as you can. [03:28] is debian wheezy ubuntu natty?

[03:29] WIGGMPk, didn't lock up yet [03:29] ahh [03:29] WIGGMPk, didnt lock up yet [03:29] pushpop: does it lock up when you search for seomthing [03:29] via cli? [03:31] pushpop: know, you said your running gnome3? hit the super key (windows key) and start typing [03:31] what sort of font rendering would be best for a slow computer? what sort of font should I then select for readability? [03:32] can anyone help me regarding vnc ??? [03:32] WIGGMPk, didnt free haha, know its goign to be stable [03:32] WIGGMPk, wierddddd [03:32] pushpop: wait, what happened? [03:33] WIGGMPk, it's not locking up now [03:34] pushpop: well good [03:35] WIGGMPk ill stick aroun and let you know if it logs up =P [03:35] pushpop: my theory was that a gnome-shell-theme was the issue (however you said you were only using a gtk3 theme), I had a similar issue on lockups when searching.. it was theme related [03:35] anyone know how to boot into grub or something? [03:36] trying to reinstall ubuntu, unless someone knows how to fix my problem of fixing the apt-get [03:36] pushpop: cool, I might end up removing empathy completely and installing pidgin though (I'll let ya kjnow if I bounce) empathy is just... pathetic and disappointing [03:36] hangingclowns, grub is for booting to a OS what do you need? [03:36] well, originally here's the problem [03:36] WIGGMPk: Good idea [03:36] WIGGMPk, kk === elmar is now known as Guest24970 [03:37] urlin2u: it can't connect to ANY repository to download updates [03:37] hangingclowns: Has nothing to do with grub, try changing your mirrors [03:37] i did that [03:37] hangingclowns, are you familiar with changing the repos, ansd the apt/sources.list [03:37] theadmin: how did empathy ever get to replace pidgin lol? [03:37] how do I disable the shadows in ubuntu 11.04? [03:38] okay, what I was saying about grub, was that I was just going to reinstall ubuntu [03:38] WIGGMPk: The decision was originally made because it's officially a part of GNOME [03:38] and when I enter my bios, I choose the usb disk drive as the boot device [03:38] but for some odd reason it seems to SKIP the drive and boot straight into my ubuntu on my local hdd [03:38] so I thought if i can boot into grub, I can use grub to boot my USB drive, right? [03:38] theadmin: well, since telepathy I though, gaim was original correct? [03:38] that's why i originally mentioned grub [03:38] hangingclowns: You can, yeah [03:39] hangingclowns, no, you probably can fix the apt-get. [03:39] okay [03:39] WIGGMPk: Well, originally we had Pidgin/Gaim, I think it was removed in 9.10 [03:39] illl tell you the error of my ap-get [03:39] i think it's trying to connect to my router's outside IP address [03:39] instead of the source [03:39] ...why do I say "we" like I'm an Ubuntu user lol xD [03:40] urlin2u: 2% [Connecting to 58.247.100.206 (58.247.100.206)] [Connecting to 58.247.100.20 [03:40] W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid-security/multiverse/source/Sources.gz Unable to connect to 58.247.100.206:8080 [03:40] 58.247.100.206 is MY IP address [03:40] how can I fix that? [03:40] hey can anyone tell me which is the best cross platform software for remote display?? [03:41] unkr: TeamViewer I think. [03:41] unkr: VNC [03:41] unkr: Windows/OS X/Linux/Android/iOS [03:41] unkr: You want a protocol, not a piece of software. There are plenty of VNC clients and servers for each platform. [03:41] hangingclowns, have you proxied your set up? I haven't had that problem others would know more. [03:41] i have no idea what the hell she did lol [03:42] damn girl has everything wrong that i've also never had go wrong [03:42] so I'd rather just wipe the install, and do a fresh install [03:42] and lock her out of the sudoers group [03:42] from the get-go [03:42] tonyyarusso: there is one problem when i connect to vncserver [03:42] tonyyarusso: i dont know that is the problem or i dont know it should i tell u ?? [03:42] how do i setup this command to run every 5 mins? sudo chown Rv mythtv /media/media ? [03:43] theadmin: thnxx [03:43] hangingclowns: thnxx [03:43] hangingclowns, if you want the bot from menu you can get it with a key prompt and common one is f12 to see the usb . [03:43] hammoommah: cron [03:43] boot* [03:43] hammoommah: sudo nano /etc/crontab, w:crontab [03:43] so i just hit f12 when I see the cursor? [03:43] hammoommah: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crontab [03:43] hangingclowns, this is a post bios boot from menu. [03:43] do i have to write bash script or will cron just run cmd? [03:43] i'd like to just edit the grub menu and just have everything displayed on bootup [03:43] okay, let me have a try, now, real quick [03:43] thanks for helping me [03:44] hammoommah: cron will run it - just put in that command as what to run [03:44] lovely thanks chief [03:44] hangingclowns, I can't gaurantee f12 will work but there is a key or key set prompt hit like you would going to the bios at powering on. [03:44] hammoommah: (without sudo) [03:45] nothing [03:45] doesn't work [03:45] hammoommah: And you forgot a - before "Rv" [03:45] i pressed that key SO much [03:45] hangingclowns, what is the computer the model and maker? [03:45] hangingclowns: Are you sure that your USB is, infact, bootable? [03:45] Hello,copy progress indicator missing in 11.10 gnome,how can I get it back? [03:45] i did see some black text come up, but still went to ubuntu [03:45] yes, i just made it with my other ubuntu machine [03:45] the bios reads it as USB bootbale drive [03:45] hangingclowns: will u tell me that will it display the same desktop in which i enable the vncserver or it will display the another desktop ??? [03:45] something liek that [03:45] hangingclowns: Ah, cool... Hm. [03:46] unkr: Try TeamViewer, honestly, it's a piece of cake to use and not as confusing as VNC [03:46] VNC is not so confusing i think [03:46] hangingclowns: For some newbies it is [03:46] whatever machien you want to see, just have the VNC server running on it [03:46] ubuntu makes a lot of this stuff simple [03:46] Well, whatever my problem was, it's fixed now. *shrug* [03:46] and Mac uses VNC, also, I believe for it's [03:46] hangingclowns: And I myself prefer TeamViewer over VNC because of the ID system and my laziness of setting up a dyndns [03:47] haha [03:47] urlin2u: it's an HP computer [03:47] theadmin: what i want is that i want to connect to remote desktop but also allow the remote desktop user to use their desktop and the teamviewer will allow me to access another desktop is this possible?? [03:48] unkr: Yes, it is [03:48] unkr: Just have it installed on both machines [03:48] unkr: You'll figure it out from there :D [03:48] theadmin: alrgt thnxx [03:48] unkr: See http://teamviewer.com for downloads. [03:49] theadmin: okk [03:49] hangingclowns, when you tried f12 what did you do exactly and when? [03:49] Can someone tell me why Ubuntu doesn't have any obvious way to install downloaded .deb packages anymore? [03:49] I mean, we used to have gdebi, but now it's opened by USC which does nothing to it [03:49] as soon as it was post bios boot, i just started hitting f12 like a mad man [03:49] hangingclowns: Try f8 or escape as well [03:50] if you click on the deb file it will open in software manager theadmin [03:50] went to the typical black screen with a cursor [03:50] my god, i have to have 3 hands for this [03:50] haylo_: It opens in the software center which just does nothing with it [03:50] isnt' ther ea way to edit the grub menu to show on boot alwasy? [03:50] really it is using them in 11.04 [03:50] there has to be [03:50] hangingclowns, not post bios as soon as you hit power try tapping f12 if it does not work try f10 then esc all at single powering on attempts not together. [03:50] hangingclowns: No, just one key -- it's normally F4, F8, Escape OR F12 [03:50] hangingclowns, tap repeatedly [03:51] Saw some weirdo F11 on some strange EFI-powered laptop but that was a one-time experience :D [03:51] i guess it is actually gdebi in 11.04 thats using them sry theadmin [03:51] okay, i got the boot menu, no problem [03:51] haylo_: Yeah, if it's a window with the package description, name, version and the button saying "Install Package" [03:51] problem is when i select the usb boot device, it skips it and boot STRAIGHT into my ubuntu instance [03:51] all I wnat to do, in the end, is fix this damn problem with the update [03:51] if not fixable, then reinstall [03:51] hangingclowns, boot menu not in the bios right? [03:51] boot menu FROM bios [03:51] theadmin: just a personal ques. from how long u r using ubuntu ??/ [03:51] i get that with f9 [03:52] hangingclowns, we are trying ti get you the one outside of it. [03:52] theadmin that is sick- no gdebi? well gee debbi how can we use this? [03:52] hmm [03:52] unkr: I was using it for 2 years or so, but I'm not using it at all anymore [03:52] unkr: Switched to Arch [03:52] so why does it try to connect to my own outside IP, first, though? i don't get that [03:52] no idea how to fix that [03:52] theadmin: howz it as compare to ubuntu ? [03:53] no proxy is set in the eth0 [03:53] 595M ubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386.iso [03:53] Is there a way to continuet his download without restarting from the beginning? [03:53] im in crunchbang, pretty easy to use unkr [03:53] unkr: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Compared_to_Other_Distributions#Ubuntu [03:53] I'm in China, so it's really slow. [03:53] hi [03:53] theadmin: okk i will try that also [03:53] is it possible to update from one release of ubuntu to the next? [03:54] ya go to update center kornerr [03:54] yeah, apt update thing, right/ [03:54] ? [03:54] kornerr, yes if the next is available [03:54] theadmin: can u tell me how to create PXE server in ubuntu i searched that but i was unable to do it successfully ? [03:54] there is a big button for it at top of update menu korner [03:54] i'm yet on debian, and think of switching to ubuntu [03:54] unkr: Ah sorry, no, I never tried PXE, altough I think what you want is infact a tftp server [03:55] when updating in ubuntu, does it always update to stable fixes? [03:55] kornerr: Yeah, we have no "unstable" repositories [03:55] kornerr: Unless "backports" counts [03:55] well if you are using unity open up "update manager? kornerr [03:55] ok. i have another debian broken update, and this time i wanna get really stable. [03:55] but not outdated. [03:55] I'm also in China, but it's not about it being slow or not, it's about why the hell it's trying to talk to it's own outside IP is what I dont' get [03:55] theadmin: ya i know that but dont know why it is not working well no problem i will try to solve it by myself [03:55] kornerr: Ubuntu is often outdated if you're not using the latest release [03:56] Anyone else having issues with Ubuntu One and 11.10? [03:56] ok. so if i'll be constantly updating my ubuntu with apt, i will use the latest and *stable* things? [03:56] keithclark, to vague what is your problem. [03:56] ya- aptitude uses good repos [03:56] urlin2u, 11.10 does not sync up. 11.04 machine does [03:57] keithclark, sync up with what? === eric is now known as Guest95228 [03:57] urlin2u, with Ubuntu One [03:57] hey, how do I add an application to my launcher menu, I've tried dragging and dropping but it doesn't work correctly === Guest95228 is now known as LLStarks|Clevo [03:57] keithclark, never used it sorry. [03:57] oracle: Run the app, right click it, choose "Keep in Launcher" [03:57] pushpop: any more lockups? [03:58] theadmin: that option is not given [03:58] WIGGMPk, nope nothing yet, I've been hammering the machine too =)... Hope it stays this way [03:58] oracle: Huh... Weird. [03:58] anyone tell me how do i use clustering between two ubuntu systems ??? [03:59] pushpop: I hope so too, I know how random lockups can be frustrating.. I'm gonna kill and purge empathy so, if your still around when I return on pidgin [03:59] WIGGMPk, OK much appreciated [03:59] when I drag it over to the launcher menu, it just makes an invisible label and makes it where I can indeed launch it, but if I choose another window, it runs in the background and I have to minimize other windows to get back to it, the same dragged icon in the launcher only opens another process [04:00] theadmin: can u tell me how do i use clustering between two ubuntu systems ??? [04:00] in other words, even though it goes to the luancher, when I open another window, if I try to click back on that invisible launcher label where its supposed to be, it just opens another program [04:00] unkr: No. Why am I supposed to know everything? [04:00] ah it is not really an apllication switcher oracle- it just runs the app === richard is now known as richboos [04:01] theadmin: well but u do know more than me thats y i ask u dont take it personal buddy [04:01] haylo_: no, I mean like for instance: I have firefox in my launcher, if I minimize it or open another window, I can simply click back on the launcher icon and it brings it to the forefront. However, with this problem, it opens another copy of the program! [04:01] theadmin, the plural we did it. :D [04:01] unkr: lol that's okay, just ask the questions to the whole channel, not just me, there's more knowledge with the collective mind :D [04:02] urlin2u: Sorry? [04:02] theadmin: ok [04:02] What is the filemanager in 11.10 , Nautilus or something else? [04:02] richboos: Nautilus 3 [04:02] theadmin, you asked why why your supposed to know everything. [04:02] urlin2u: Ah :D [04:02] well usually the launcher doesnt open another app, that is where i would look for the prob oracle - what is the app i am curios to see this- beacause i get mad when the laucher wont open new app windows [04:02] urlin2u: Didn't mean as plural [04:03] Is there any immediate service for Ubuntu One to be found? The irc is dead [04:03] anyone tell me how do i use clustering between two ubuntu systems ??? [04:03] haylo_: Terminal [04:03] unkr: what kind of cluster? [04:04] unkr: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Clustering [04:05] with the split-pane of nautilus 3, I can not click on a breadcrumb without focusing on that pane first. this is a regression from 11.04 and gnome 2. Bug report or Ubuntu Brainstorm? [04:05] phlak_user: let me read that [04:05] oracle default terminal in launcher works as you want it to in 11.04 [04:06] i can't connect msn network through empathy [04:06] is anyone know what's the problem [04:06] Any one with Ubuntu One issues? [04:06] korokos: do you have telepathy-butterfly package installed? [04:06] haylo_: it's not working on mine. Please tell me how you're adding it to your launcher. [04:06] !info telepathy-butterfly | korokos [04:06] i was able to drag it there from application switcher [04:06] korokos: telepathy-butterfly (source: telepathy-butterfly): MSN connection manager for Telepathy. In component main, is optional. Version 0.5.15-2.1 (oneiric), package size 45 kB, installed size 488 kB [04:07] yes phlak_user that package is already installed [04:08] i have a question about unity [04:08] how does it work - is it a window manager? or is it more like the old gnome-panel, and you need to use a separate window manager with it [04:08] brianmwaters, ask away. [04:08] !unity | brianmwaters [04:08] brianmwaters: 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 [04:08] Is there a difference between x86 and x64 Ubuntu? [04:09] RudyValencia: Errm, one is intended for 32-bit processors and the other for 64-bit? [04:09] i wasn't asking how to get rid of it [04:09] what's a "shell" [04:09] brianmwaters: Unity runs on top of GNOME libraries. It's a desktop environment. [04:09] brianmwaters: a shell is a protective covering [04:09] brianmwaters: It uses Metacity or Compiz as a window manager. [04:10] wise guy [04:10] phlak_user: what i want to do is to connect two ubuntu system & then make them to work as single system via clustering [04:10] theadmin: so it replaces gnome-panel, i take it? [04:10] RudyValencia if you have a newer computer then run 64bit- it is alittle faster, but onlyworks with 64 bit architecture. [04:10] brianmwaters: Yeah, and if you want you can install gnome-panel [04:10] can anyone help me add Terminal to my launcher? [04:10] RudyValencia: Note that the third version of gnome-panel is not really customizable, though [04:10] well. that's great! [04:10] when using System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts Tab.. it doesn't appear i have the ability to modify the CTRL + ALT + T == Terminal to open terminator anymore =(.. i may be wrong though [04:10] Oops [04:10] RudyValencia: Sorry about that [04:11] debian wheezy just updated me to gnome-shell and now my whole computer feels broken [04:11] unkr: yes, you can use a beowulf or kerrighed cluster for this purpose - > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EasyUbuntuClustering/UbuntuKerrighedClusterGuide [04:11] oracle, run it then right click it in the launcher then keep in launcher [04:11] RudyValencia often times the applications in linux are 32 bit anyway so there is not as much value in 64bit as one would think- that being said i only use 64 bit- i need all the bites i can ge my habds on lolz [04:11] phlak_user: will this work on any linux system ?? [04:11] it's not even showing up in the launcher [04:12] oracle, did you start it [04:12] yes [04:12] it's going [04:12] oracle, unity right [04:12] oracle did you install another terminal application or is it the default one? [04:12] unkr: yes, its not limited to ubuntu -> http://www.kerrighed.org/wiki/index.php/Installing_Kerrighed_2.3.0 [04:12] no, default === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [04:12] thank y'all [04:12] phlak_user: ok thnnx let me try that [04:13] oracle, default you mean classic [04:13] when I drag it to the launcher, there's just a blank space there in between the other launcher icons, and when I click on it it opens a NEW terminal window [04:13] idk [04:13] it's listed as Terminal [04:13] I type in Terminal, it shows a black screen icon [04:13] well that is what i want my terminal app to do so consider yourself lucky lol [04:13] hey I have a question about my mouse? Its usb/wireless but when I use it on a computer wooden desk it lags. [04:13] batteries are new inside it so what gives? [04:13] but really i would restart the computer something is messed up [04:14] well I don't [04:14] you can just type terminal to do that [04:14] pinPoint, then use a mouse pad! [04:14] pinPoint: Your sensor on the mouse is not sensitive enough to use on that surface, use a mouse pad or get a better mouse [04:14] hmm wait, no you can't [04:15] lemme just install another terminal app [04:15] whats the best one? [04:15] OvermindDL1: this mouse worked fine before with ubuntu [04:15] pinPoint: is it optical or does it have a ball? [04:15] now lately it just won't work properly === richard is now known as richboos [04:15] its optical/blue [04:15] microsoft blue laser [04:15] oracle, mae sure you tab users names you answering so we know whi it makes thind=gs go smoother. :D [04:16] i like terminator oracle [04:16] much better now =) [04:16] pinPoint: What you described should have nothing to do with the OS, perhaps the sensor is wearing out over time [04:16] hi all, is video chat using empathy possible? i found the menu right there but greyed (ym client) [04:16] ++ on Terminator oracle [04:16] OvermindDL1: in a period of like 2yrs? :/ [04:16] that's sad [04:16] haylo_ ok [04:16] voice chat is also disabled [04:16] pinPoint: Possible [04:17] mm terminator && screen .. yummy [04:17] yeah, the mouse works on no surface.

[04:17] xangua: it is disabled or enabled?? [04:18] quixotedon: it supports voice/vide with jabber at least [04:18] okay it works now, thanks [04:18] Amdpc: pity.. mostly my contacts are using yahoo [04:18] pinPoint: Plug it into a different USB port to reset its interface? [04:18] trying [04:18] xangua: you mean jabber app? [04:18] quixotedon: jabber is an open protocol, gtalk uses jabber [04:18] i see [04:19] xangua: no possibility on yahoo client? [04:19] OvermindDL1: slight improvedment. is it going to hold though? [04:19] no quixotedono [04:19] xangua: sigh... [04:19] pinPoint: No clue, I have never had such issues unless the mouse itself was failing [04:19] there is gyachi wich claims video support quixotedon gyachi.sourceforge.net [04:20] man, I should just use logitech mice from now on [04:20] gyachi is a yahoo im client [04:20] xangua: i also can't find other app that enables vide/voice chat other than skype [04:20] Anyone know how to get to the etc from terminal if I'm in the home folder? [04:20] skypent: cd [04:20] xangua: gyachi is not available through software center, so i should install it myself [04:21] xangua: well, i'll give it a shot [04:21] xangua: thanksss [04:21] xangua : could've sworn I did that already, thanks though - worked [04:21] quixotedon: the instructions to add it in the repository are on it's website [04:21] xangua: noted [04:22] mmm looks like there are not packages for after lucid :/ [04:22] scratch that, didn't work - trying to get to the file system folder when I'm in the Home folder from terminal - how would I go about that? [04:23] skypent: The home folder is part of the file system, what 'file system folder' do you speak of? [04:23] Is firefox 8 available for 64 bit? [04:24] jiltdil: yes, firefox.com [04:25] OvermindDL1 : I'm accessing a server through ssh. As soon as I get in, I'm in my home folder. I'm trying to get to /etc/var/www which is located in file system. When I type ls I get no folder or link that will get me to my address. [04:25] skypent: Does "cd /etc/var/www" not work? [04:25] no [04:26] skypent: What does it say? [04:26] no such file or directory [04:26] skypent: Then exactly what it says [04:26] xangua, Hey but it is only showing for 32 bit linux [04:26] skypent: I gotta go, so ask others now.

I just need a way to get into the file system folder so that I can jump into /etc/, but I don't know the step to do that.

Whatever folder I'm starting in (home) is showing desktop and other folders when I ls. /etc/var/www exists in another directory (file system)... if I can get to there I can get to /etc/var/www. I can't do cd /etc/var/www because then the route would be home/etc/var/www which doesn't exist. [04:32] jiltdil, sorry about that [04:33] jiltdil, read up here http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/11/firefox-8-officially-released/ [04:33] looks like you wont have to install any ppas or get firefox from any other sources [04:33] TThen try "sudo su -" and then "cd " [04:34] anyone know how to resize root partion painlessly ?

[04:55] hello [04:55] hey , where is /dev/dsp on ubuntu 11.10 ? [04:55] oh [04:55] led-bandit: I seriously dislike unity and I prefer gnome 2. But I really want to try gnome 3. I used it in the testing phases and I really like it [04:55] jiltdil: form this thread http://askubuntu.com/questions/70935/lvm-allocations-change-after-restart [04:55] is the loopback a kind of a partition or what [04:55] led-bandit: I just want to make sure upgrading wont break my system [04:55] jin:ok wait [04:56] with blkid -p /dev/... [04:56] I mean Ubuntu has to use some of the HDD memory? [04:56] evon, then install 11.10 and then install gnome-shell you can then choose either unity or gnome-shell at start [04:56] jin: i have told u for uuid above check [04:56] parsis:kind of - it makes a file on your Windows drive that acts like a virtual hard drive. You can set this to be as big as you want. [04:56] evon, if you like gnome fallback you can install that and play with it as well [04:56] led-bandit: so 11.10 doesn't have gnome 2 at all? And when i say "upgrade" i mean upgrading through the update manager [04:57] evon, gnome 2 is dead [04:57] sudo blkid -p /dev/lvm-raid5/Raid5 [04:57] /dev/lvm-raid5/Raid5: UUID="860af524-d3ae-4bcd-bdf8-b5deb5b7596a" TYPE="xfs" USAGE="filesystem" [04:57] evon, thats why i asked if you like gnome 2 cause it is no more [04:57] !nounity | evon [04:57] evon: 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".

[05:08] on a remote server can't use gui [05:08] only command line [05:08] neoark: there is a commandline version called parted [05:08] so when media gets added to my server by wife kids, mythtv can still access media [05:08] !parted [05:08] neoark: Can't use x-forwarding? [05:09] im a pretty big newb [05:09] hammommah, oh ok i saw a post about that this week [05:09] which logs should i look for [05:09] this cron job doesnt seem to be working tho?

[05:13] hello, I started the terminal after login in and I got an extremely strange output when I tried to load the previously typed text http://imagebin.org/183256 [05:13] So I installed Ubuntu on a completely separate HDD, not on the same on as my WinXP. When I boot my PC, I get a unwanted grub menu. [05:14] one** [05:14] what might be the casue behind it? [05:14] sorry cause [05:14] jiltdil how do i check which features are on? [05:14] no error my os is working fine just the cd drive ceased after i inserted a blank cd [05:14] rya_n: if you want to use ubuntu and windows, you need to use grub, the windows bootloader wont let you boot into ubuntu [05:14] MY bios is set to boot my WinXP HDD first. I want other people to be able to turn on the computer and get into WinXP without seeing the grub menu. [05:14] neorak: wait a bit can u give the exact output so i tell you [05:15] jin, can't I just choose which harddrive to boot from when I boot (in bios)? [05:15] stephni, http://pcsupport.about.com/od/tipstricks/ht/ppdropen.htm [05:15] Make the grub menu time very short and get windows as its default choice Rya_n [05:16] rya_n yes if you want, but it easier to pick between the 2 at boot, they have to fiddle arround in bios each time, if you set windows as the default even when bios is set to ubuntu, it will still go to windows on boot [05:16] ill try [05:16] rya_n what haylo said [05:16] hello, I started the terminal after login in and I got an extremely strange output when I tried to load the previously typed text http://imagebin.org/183256 [05:17] I understand the utility of the grub menu. It's just that this is a family PC, lol. I don't want people seeing a meny. [05:17] menu* [05:17] Rya_n just press your down arrow key while booting so you can access that one second grub boot time [05:17] r0gue: i heard you [05:17] thanks [05:17] stephni, you get it open?

[06:27] pavanai: sorry no idea === Nicolus is now known as c_nick [06:27] pavanai, what do you mean with gtk destroyes everything?

[06:30] harsh343, looks like Jordan_U is going to help you [06:30] led-bandit, ok [06:30] led-bandit: I think you added a space where you didn't intend one to be in that command. That '*' will match anything in the current directory, not in www-data. [06:31] led-bandit, some advices [06:31] noooooo [06:31] hahahaha [06:31] thats why his ls -l still says this http://pastebin.com/ztXr8K1b [06:32] hey pavanai [06:32] led-bandit, how to recover that history? [06:32] r0gue_, what does typing history give you [06:33] led-bandit: Sorry, it looked like a possible mistake and I didn't want to wait to read all the scrollback before warning. With chown -R I would recommend always using full paths.

Like learnpythonthehardway is great, it has 52 exercises, and you just do all the exercises. Is there something similar, like a basic course for linux, and shell commands, etc? [06:34] r0gue_, what distro are you using? [06:34] harsh343: That was mostly a misunderstanding on my part. You can continue following led-bandit's instructions.

[06:59] if you're stuck in cli mode only, or prefer cli, then you can always exit xorg entirely and mess with gnome and kde there. though i figure letting muon fix your stuff will work better [06:59] led-bandit : it says unmet dependencies, so i cant do anything [06:59] or apt-get -f etc [07:00] N00B_- have you tried just installing that package first? libcaribou-common ?

[07:18] i dont think thats possible :P [07:18] N00B_, ok [07:18] but pm me with your issues and i'll bespoke something just for you [07:19] led-bandit trust me i'm a doctor ;) [07:19] trolls ever where how is that for a subject TimLoal ? [07:19] stochastic, does the current driver not work? [07:19] i have a PHD in tollology so let me at em ;D [07:20] led-bandit, the default installed driver only gives 800x600 resolution [07:20] stochastic, i meant the nvidia driver [07:21] just for a one liner here Ubuntu SUCKS A LARGE ONE :p [07:21] * stochastic is not sure what the default is if it's an nvidia or not [07:22] stochastic: did you try to install the video driver via the GUI? [07:23] Richie086, I did briefly, the instructions told me to run an nvidia command as root and reboot, upon reboot the xserver did not load [07:24] just stuck at plymouth [07:24] ah so you have no ability to load the gui, just command line? [07:24] I've booted into a recovery shell now, but forget the last time I had to fuddle with drivers so these commands are vague to me [07:24] now can you read it [07:25] floydsprite, ?? [07:25] hmm.. well, in ubuntu, you are usually better off installing video card drivers via the System > Administration > Additional Drivers [07:25] in the gui [07:26] where is the xorg.conf file again? [07:26] Richie086, are you on 11.10? [07:27] Nope [07:27] why? [07:27] did they remove that? [07:27] yeah, I hate the ubiquity switch away from that System > Administration route [07:27] Richie086, cause thats what i would say to do but you cant do it exactly that way any more [07:27] * stochastic is interested in getting xfce going for now [07:27] wtf! i swear canonical is purposely fucking things up in ubuntu.. why change from that? it worked so well! [07:28] what do you have to do now? [07:28] !language | Richie086 [07:28] Richie086: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [07:28] sorry [07:28] Richie086, click on user name and then system settings additional drivers with gnome 3 fallback [07:29] i dont know if that works with unity or not [07:29] what do you have to do in order to install video drivers now? [07:29] i dont use unity at all [07:29] does anyone stay on Unity? [07:29] cant stand it.. ive given it a few days to see if i could work with it, but it just is not going to happen [07:29] I hope ubuntu doesn't [07:29] Richie086, me as well [07:30] anyways, that doesn't help me with nvidia drivers yet [07:30] gnome 3 fallback is ok [07:30] supposedly they are getting rid of synaptic and just using the ubuntu software center, does anyone know if that is true? [07:30] * stochastic switches xorg.conf files back to the backup [07:30] stochastic, what drivers are you trying to install? [07:30] Richie086, you can still install synaptic but it does not come installed as default [07:30] even tho i usually just use apt-get on the cli, there are times when synaptic is much easier to use.. [07:30] ah ok [07:31] I don't know, I'm just trying to get away from the 800x600 resolution [07:31] led-bandit i am working on a shared server and as a joke my buddy keeps deleting things in my folder i wont to make it so he cant do that anymore and all i have to work with is ssh [07:31] I don't even know the chipset of this driver as it's a brand new comp [07:31] stochastic: do you know the model # of your chipset? [07:31] stochastic: lspci | grep vga [07:31] floydsprite, do you login with diffrent login names? [07:31] try that [07:31] no [07:32] so same login names?? [07:32] OMG i cant login to ubuntu (default) [07:32] yes [07:32] Richie086, that command returns nothing [07:32] try just lspci [07:32] and look for nvidia in the list [07:32] floydsprite, you cant do that with ssh [07:32] Is it possible to build an rpm file without Lzma as dependencies or that it take all versions of Lzma. [07:32] has to be in there somewhere [07:33] really [07:33] can't get that to work [07:33] could you post the output to pastebin stochastic?

[08:49] it works finr for me ederico [08:49] fine* [08:49] Ederico, its probably your system, [08:50] tanath, :| I find this highly strange. I assume you already googled the problem? [08:50] jasef, a bit. turned up nothing. was in the middle of it when you suggested a restart [08:50] ok, thanks [08:50] tanath, Oh... sorry about that :P [08:50] 'lo.i got a dell desktop,if i connect a new hd, could i be able to install linux on there? [08:51] hey guys please help me, i think my APT is locked , it says "another program is using package system please exit it" when i just logged in [08:51] obert- yes np [08:51] !aptfix | N00B_ [08:51] N00B_: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [08:51] Noon_ log out and log back in. [08:51] RaTTuS|BIG: thanks. why then sometimes i hear that could be issues about hardware compatibility? [08:51] Noob_ log out and log back in [08:53] jussi : it didnt work [08:53] obert- - there is always a prosability - I've put 11.10 on several dell machines with no issues - but it always depnds .... [08:53] tanath, :/ sorry, I'm pretty much out of ideas on this... don't suppose you've had the problem with any other packages have you? [08:53] ah ok [08:53] jussi : Errors were encountered while processing: libcaribou0 gir1.2-caribou-1.0 [08:53] I don't know why but I just drank two cups of coffee and its 3 in the morning [08:53] obert- - if ytou ahve another disk to hand then swap it and give it a whirl [08:53] jasef, haven't seen it elsewhere, no [08:54] RaTTuS|BIG scared that dell could be have something in order to can install there only the bought stuff [08:54] jasef, thanks for trying. maybe you can poke someone else? :P [08:54] their windows 7 OS and such,i meant [08:54] na - if you removed the existing disk ten it can do nothing to it ... [08:55] RaTTuS|BIG: is always about the default HD then? [08:55] what model of dell ahave yoou got [08:55] RaTTuS|BIG: limitations are in that hd [08:55] damn my typing - need coffee [08:55] me too. it is mm Inspirion 570? [08:55] anyone have any idea how to troubleshoot this? http://pastebin.ca/2093274 [08:55] llutz_, I solve it, I've run update-grub [08:55] obert- give me 10 mins and I'll be back [08:55] tanath, one more idea, can you run 'ldd /usr/bin/wine' please? [08:56] RaTTuS|BIG: doesnt seems that ubuntu is workin that good on my vm [08:56] jasef, not a dynamic executable [08:56] hi. I've added some more workspaces to my initial 4 in ubuntu 2d. is there a way to change the default 2 rows when pressing (Super+S) ? [08:56] hello. I have a friend's old laptop here, a Dell Inspiron 6400. It has major issues with Ubuntu 11.10 + Unity, i.e. it's extremely slow, unusable. So, I thought I'd install either KUbuntu or 10.04. Currently, the machine has dual-boot Ubuntu 11.10 and WinXP. Can I use Wubi, the windows ubuntu installer, to install a new ubuntu version over the existing one? Or should I burn a CD and boot from that? [08:56] tanath: why are you on zsh and not bash? [08:56] Edico: should have been done automatically when removing through postrm-scripts... [08:56] RaTTuS|BIG: yes no worry:) i've to understand how to open the case before:) [08:56] tanath, are you on an amd64 system? [08:56] jasef, yes [08:56] everytime i reboot the VM some settings are gone [08:57] i wish i could have another machine with native linux os:p [08:57] ichbinder: burn a CD and install over everything. Wubi would instlal in the windows partition which will not help running speed [08:57] phlak_user, 'cause it's better [08:57] tanath, this might not work, but the only difference between our wine apps is that yours is 64-bit, you might try installing the 32-bit version, 'sudo apt-get purge wine ; sudo apt-get install wine:i386' though if it says it wants to uninstall packages for the last one, might not be a good idea [08:57] phlak_user, can do things with zsh that bash doesn't. isn't phlak dead? [08:58] somsip: thanks for the answer! My friend wants the windows partition to be keep as it is... :-/ It's currently booted using grub. [08:58] to be kept [08:58] I don't get how I tell Upstart where my pid file is [08:58] jasef, why would file say it's dynamically linked, and ldd say it's not? [08:58] tanath, I'm not sure - might be a bug in the amd64 wine package. [08:58] ichbinder: so install over the existin 11.10? And maybe considr lighter version, maybe lubuntu or xubutu. I've not used kubuntu but remember KDE used tobe heavy in days of yore [08:59] lericson: have a look on the /etc/init/ files [08:59] unity also is...meh [08:59] adsoui [08:59] eiii [08:59] i'll never gotcha computers beauviers [08:59] somsip: yes, install over existing 11.10. Leave everything else the same, like paritions and stuff. That is done the easiest way by burning a CD? [09:00] ichbinder: yep. Other options include from USB but sometimes that causes probs for people [09:00] chinoo mai [09:00] obert- - should be fine - if you are still worried , get an external usb HD and install it there - [09:00] chinoo marikaaaaaa [09:00] PADEL [09:00] feos [09:00] TEMPRA PIPA [09:01] somsip: I'll take a look at those too. My friend has not a lot of clue of computers/linux, but I want him to use Linux for safety, etc... haven't seen xubuntu or lubuntu, are they as intuitive and easy to handle as old gnome-ubuntu or kubuntu? [09:01] y tu puta [09:01] lordedii titeeeeeeeeufffffff [09:01] jasef, seems wine is just a meta/virtual package. couldn't install 32-bit due to conflict. reinstalling wine 1.3 [09:01] I need an rss reader/notifier with popups that don't go away until clicked. anyone seen such a thing? [09:01] ichbinder: xfce acts alot like gnome 2 [09:01] somsip: yeah, I've done from USB but not even sure if that old laptop supports booting from USB out of the box :) [09:01] ichbinder: slightly different interface, but much lighter than Unity/Gnome or KDE. Screenshots will be on the homepages for both projects [09:01] ichbinder: they use a simler theme [09:01] ichbinder: so maybe better for old-ish laptop [09:01] pipas!! [09:01] QIEN ES EL GOGETA [09:02] eeee [09:02] ç [09:02] frikiiiisçç [09:02] LOL [09:02] ola chabales [09:02] jasef, hrm. still didn't fix it [09:02] eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee [09:02] mongoloooos [09:02] !es ! alumno [09:02] gogeta: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [09:02] RaTTuS|BIG: external hd are expensive;) [09:02] PUTOS INGLESES [09:02] jajajajajaja [09:02] bartoloooo [09:02] !es | alumno [09:02] RaTTuS|BIG: i doubt that i can install an OS in there too [09:02] alumno: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

I guess it's really a graphics problem as neither CPU nor memory are used extensively when booting into Unity, but it's still slow as hell. [09:03] EEEEE MARIKAAA [09:03] menudo invento no?? [09:03] CALLA TONTO [09:03] jajajajajaajajajaajajaajaajajaa [09:03] tanath, what about trying 1.2? [09:03] que dices [09:03] tu [09:03] tu vieja [09:03] xDD [09:03] Holaaaa [09:03] ichbinder: its just slow its all java based [09:04] jasef, trying to install i386 breaks everything. dependency explosion [09:04] jasef, installing wine installes wine1.3 [09:04] tanath: hmm.. looks like the zsh environment isnt setup properly [09:04] tanath, what about just apt-get install wine1.2 [09:04] ? [09:04] kien sta aki? [09:04] gogeta: really? Didn't know that... java based... are you kidding... :( [09:04] ichbinder: js is horrid to make a desktop with yet google gnome and ubuntu think its the next big thing [09:04] phlak_user, why you say that? [09:04] r u fucking kidding me? [09:04] So does any one know if they officially quit releasing adobe air [09:04] bitch [09:05] gogeta: nothing to do with JS. That's not accurate info [09:05] phlak_user: why should zsh-env matter, if even using bash shows same error? [09:05] phlak_user, i use a custom prompt which interferes with copypasta, so i just copied the commands and results... [09:05] somsip: gnome 3 uses js for its ui [09:05] llutz_: does it? i mustve missed that part [09:05] somsip: unity as well the 2s ver uses qt however [09:05] 2d [09:06] gogeta: I have to admit as somebody who uses desktop computers since years, I really don't like the trend of OSes looking more and more like mobile phones.... are we really giving up all the depth and luxury we have on desktop just for the sake of easy to klick? meh... :( [09:06] gogeta: I aplogise. there does seem to be something in that [09:06] jasef, still didn't fix it :-/ [09:06] ichbinder: just install any WM you want [09:06] jasef, i mean, wine1.2 installed, but the problem isn't gone :( [09:07] tanath, ... wow, sounds like your Ubuntu is being really weird [09:07] jasef, something is seriously wacky. i even scanned for rootkits and didn't find anything obvious... i think [09:07] Hi. This is literally my first time using linux. I'm using PuTTY in windows to ssh into my server. Is there a guide for the easiest way to get my repository onto the server? Is there any way to set up my server so that I could do 'git push' from windows? Having trouble finding any guides for that online. [09:08] somsip: rather: install any WM that works... ^^ [09:08] ichbinder: the problem coders stoped makeing desktop ui and now they let these ui artest do it and they just do stuff for the sake of change [09:08] ichbinder: has to be pretty forget how well it works [09:08] ichbinder: plenty to chose from http://xwinman.org/ [09:08] Stuffness: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Git [09:08] ichbinder: and plenty missing from that link [09:09] Stuffness: are you looking for a windows based git client? [09:09] Hello there.. I have oneiric installed, and when i roll-up a window, i still see the borders of that window, how can i fix this? [09:09] tanath, sudo apt-get install --reinstall libc6-i386 [09:09] gogeta: word! [09:09] Could you try that? [09:09] somsip: thanks! [09:09] ichbinder: np - I moved off Unity and found something that works for me. It'e easy to do [09:10] somsip: xfce4 [09:10] phlak_user, looking for instructions for setting up the linux server to accept 'git push' from my windows computer. [09:10] jasef, a window popped up briefly and disappeared when i did that. any idea what it was? [09:10] gogeta: awsomewm [09:10] ichbinder: all my machines are running xfce or lxde [09:11] can someone tell me how to change the mouse cursor size in 11.10? [09:11] jasef, oh, nvm. updates, lol [09:11] gogeta, somsip: hm, probably still gonna reinstall the whole unix, as I don't trust what the guy has done with the machine over the last year or so... ^^ [09:11] tanath lol, try wine, if it doesn't work now after the libc6-i386 reinstall, then try updating? [09:11] ichbinder: oh yes. Totally [09:11] jasef, um... ok... that fixed it. now the question is _why_? [09:12] Your 32-bit C libs were messed up [09:12] I don't know how [09:12] hey guys, i dont know why, my ubuntu software center was replacet me MOUN software center ny help? [09:12] ichbinder: most of us dont run stock ubuntu anymore we all pretty mutch are running xubuntu or lubuntu [09:12] jasef, o_O [09:12] Stuffness: ok so you already have a git client on windows and you want to know how to push to a git repository on Unbuntu [09:12] yes [09:12] jasef, and how exactly did you narrow it down? [09:12] hey guys, i dont know why, my ubuntu software center was replaced by MOUN software center any help? [09:13] somsip: was that ironical? :) [09:13] ichbinder: huh? No... [09:13] tanath, I went hunting on forums lol. But apparently, there is no 64-bit wine, the wine:amd64 package runs in 32-bit, so you need the 32-bit C libs [09:13] jasef, hrm [09:14] gogeta: really? Didn't expect that... thought the community would accept the new way. :) Hm, it's sad good old gnome2 is not supported anymore and that gnome3 has gone in the wrong direction. Gnome2 was cool! [09:14] jasef, well, thanks :) [09:14] tanath, I found the command to try on this page: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1846286 [09:14] Stuffness: llutz_ did point you to the link earlier -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Git [09:14] somsip: ok. ^^ wasn't sure... yeah, well. You never know what people configure, especially when they have no clue about a system... so I rather have a clean install. [09:14] Here's how the libs are described: [09:14] !info libc6-i386 [09:14] Package libc6-i386 does not exist in oneiric [09:14] ichbinder: I agree. no irony or sarcasm intended [09:14] Lies... [09:15] !info libc6-i386:amd64 [09:15] phlak_user, llutz, missed it, thanks [09:15] Package libc6-i386amd64 does not exist in oneiric [09:15] Lol, fail. [09:15] tanath, Embedded GNU C Library: Shared libraries [09:15] ichbinder: yea im wating on the fork to go live of gnome 2 [09:15] tanath, according the the package site that ubottu is supposed to pull stuff from. [09:15] ichbinder: mint will be including it once they fix some issues with it [09:16] tanath, you should be able to reinstall wine1.3 now safely [09:16] gogeta: what it's gonna be called? The fork i mean [09:16] jasef, already on it ;) [09:16] ichbinder: mate [09:16] tanath, awesome :) [09:16] gogeta: mate?! like the limonade?! LOL [09:16] ichbinder: there working on makeing it work with gtk3 [09:16] gogeta: why not gnubuntu. ^^ [09:16] jasef, ty. i'm off now [09:16] gogeta: cool! [09:17] tanath, np. Have fun :) [09:18] gogeta, somsip: so, resource-wise, can I say Ubuntu > Kubuntu > Lubuntu > Xubuntu ? [09:18] ichbinder: lubuntu is the lightest [09:19] ichbinder: ubuntu>kubuntu>xubuntu>lubuntu [09:19] ichbinder: pretty bad when qt smokes gnome 3 [09:19] Can i make my ubuntu start in text mode [09:19] ichbinder: minimal install and the WM of your choice. I'd guess fluxbox/openbox are amongst the lightest [09:19] !nox | SachinDey [09:19] SachinDey: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [09:19] gogeta: oh, really? As it has a way bigger installer than xubuntu, I just guessed... ^^ or is xubuntu installer just a net installer? === drey_ is now known as drey [09:20] ichbinder: should be around the same size [09:20] Hi. How does update-initramfs decide what img to generate? For some reason it wants to build 2.6.something, and I need 3.0.. So does anyone here know if this version can be given somehow as an argument? [09:21] ichbinder: also the installer lies abought the nedded size [09:22] gogeta: yeah, you're right. Weird, first donwload was about 22 MB for Xubuntu... weird [09:22] ichbinder: lubuntu installed is just over a gig but the installer says you need 4 [09:22] ubuntu: man update-initramfs (-k) [09:22] ubuntu: You probably upgraded from 11.04 or something to 11.10 [09:22] This means that the old kernel files are still available [09:22] gogeta, somsip: ok, thanks! I'm gonna wait until downloads are finished, burn CD's and see where this is gonna go. ^^ Thank you! [09:22] ichbinder: np === troll is now known as Guest78551 [09:22] You should remove/purge them via apt that way initramfs won't see the old kernel files [09:22] ichbinder: you still burn cds lol [09:23] gogeta: yeah, old-school! I guess I even have to go and buy some.... ^^ [09:23] ichbinder: thumb drive can use it over and over [09:23] BlackDex, yes, sort of. Do you hav a link or anything about how to do this, in more detail. If possible I'd like to read up on that. [09:24] ichbinder: i used to use cd-rw but all my machines can usb boot these days [09:24] ubuntu: just read "man update-initramfs" about -k parameter [09:24] ubuntu: by default its reading everything in /boot/ with -k you say which kernel should e used [09:24] ichbinder: even the one that cant i use a boot loader cd that enables usb boot :) [09:24] ubuntu: You can use what llutz_ says, or use Ubuntu-Tweak to purge the old kernels [09:25] gogeta: yeah, maybe that inspiron can too... but hey, it's cheap and easy and i would need to clean up my 4GB usb stick... [09:25] gogeta: nice... :) [09:25] manually you should find the old kernel image packages and remove/purge them [09:25] don't have a link available [09:25] Perfect. Thanks, both :) [09:26] BlackDex: i use sysanptic and search linux-image and remove all the old vers [09:26] BlackDex: same for linux-headers [09:27] gogeta: that is what i use also.. or just search for the version number 2.6.x [09:28] ichbinder: heck small sticks these days cost the same as a pack of cds [09:28] ichbinder: iv seen 2gb for like 5$ [09:30] ichbinder: thing is ubuntu 12 will no longer be in a cd format [09:30] hi [09:30] is there a way to turn off F10 that accesses main top panel in ubuntu 11.10? [09:30] also, is there a SysTray in Unity? [09:31] gogeta: dvd+/-rw don't cost a fortune [09:31] hmm [09:32] llutz_: true but my c610 only has a cd rom [09:32] gogeta: thats not for certain [09:32] popey: yea they officaly said it was on slashdot [09:32] gogeta: nothing decided at UDS is final [09:35] gogeta: really, no CD? I guess it will just be no-CD by default but still offer an iso download... [09:35] Hey people. I installed compiz to try get more workspaces with unity. my unity crashed and I had to reboot and installed drivers again to sort out the problem. [09:35] gogeta: well, need to get going anyway. So thanks for the help again! [09:35] :) [09:35] ichbinder: it will still be a iso just dvd sized [09:35] ichbinder: iso > 700MB [09:35] the issue I have now is that after resetting all compiz config to default my Unity doesn't look the same [09:36] ichbinder: around 800mb [09:36] the window switcher for example is just ugly and square as opposed to all unity like :) [09:36] anyone able to help? [09:36] gogeta: ah, ok... well, then buy DVDs. ;) [09:37] gogeta: I'm old school. ^^ [09:37] ichbinder: not as old me lol rember the 5 1/2s [09:37] lol === max is now known as Guest9691 [09:38] ichbinder: i still order them for my c64 [09:39] I wish I could find a decimal clock widget [09:41] anyone??

I believe in Unity3D it uses the 3D switcher, but uses the default Gnome switcher in 2D [09:44] tyrone: http://askubuntu.com/questions/60715/can-i-reset-unity-2d [09:44] tyrone: 3 commands to reset 2d [09:44] jasef. what do you think has caused the change? my launcher looks better somehow than when I started [09:45] gogeta thanks I have done all those but will try them in that order. [09:45] tyrone: you relog after fir it to take effect [09:45] tyrone, don't really know unless it's simply because it's Unity2D. Kinda tired right now :( [09:45] srs., bom dia [09:45] jasef thanks [09:46] gogeta great I missed that bit. thanks [09:46] gogeta will try that. thanks for the help [09:47] Anyone know any command in linux to check which firewall is barring the door of mysql? [09:47] taranto: sudo iptables -vL [09:47] tyrone: yea i dont see anything on resetting 2d [09:48] Does anyone have experience preseed-installing HP BL465c G7 machines? I have some strange dhcp problems.. === X_ is now known as FreeNET [09:49] llutz, n my firewall blocking there is no rule, but in the data center firewall I have no way to check the rules, and needed some tracertroute give me the information that the package there. [09:49] llutz_ [09:50] taranto: ask the firewall-admin [09:50] llutz_, admin insists that firewall has no rules on the firewall it. [09:50] Akegata: you connect to a roughter or a cable modem some cable modems need to be reset when you install a new os [09:51] gogeta: No, this is a server... [09:51] Akegata: ? [09:52] Akegata: your server is not handing out ips then [09:52] taranto: traceroute -p 3306 xxxx from outside. look where it hangs [09:52] can someone help me set up a RAID1 on ubuntu 11.10 with 3 1TB Drives [09:53] gogeta: It is. The pxeboot part works fine, but when the installation part wants to get a lease it's not even sending out broadcasts. [09:54] Ok, this is apparently some sort of bug in 11.04, I just got an address in 11.10. [09:54] Akegata: nice [09:54] Doesn't really solve the problem though.. [09:54] I get "cryptsetup: WARNING: failed to detect canonical device of /dev/sda3" when I run update-initramfs. It's not marked as an error.. Does anyone know if I can continue anyways, or should I fix something first? [09:55] Akegata: if you get a ip whont it insall [09:55] gogeta: Yeah but I want 11.04. :P [09:55] Plus the preseed failed as well. :/ [09:55] Akegata: 11.10 is the replacment for 11.04 [09:56] Akegata: ubuntu `12 will be the next lts [09:56] llutz_, eu tentei, mas todos os hops estão passando ***. conhece alguma ferramenta online para isso? [09:56] I know. That doesn't necessarily mean I want 11.10. [09:56] gogeta: my mom gave my C64 away to some Polish people as a donation when I was about 14. She said I didn't use it anymore.... -.- [09:56] llutz_, sorry, I tried, but all the hops are going ***. know of any online tool for this?

[09:58] i remember going over to other kids houses and theyd have their c64 keyboard wired into their television set [09:58] i would just look down upon them and laugh in their faces [09:58] NOT [09:58] loop: my 2c was like that to had tv out built in [09:58] those were the days [09:58] gogeta: it's like throwing away your favorite stuffed animal just because you don't cuddle it anymore [09:59] ichbinder: my 2c broke and when i moved i found it and just didnt wanna fix it [09:59] ichbinder: was sitting for so long i forgot i had it [10:00] gogeta: still, it's nice to find those things again. [10:00] bruce lee on c64 was one the greatest video games of all time [10:00] same with my N64 station. I mean hey, no other Mario Kart has ever been as good as that one! [10:00] ichbinder: yea but the built in floppy was smashed and getting arts for a 80s machine is hard [10:00] i was an old man by the time the N64 was out [10:00] guys my unity load but just disappears how can I just reset the settings [10:00] gogeta: oh yeah... ebay or maybe craigslist are your friends. [10:01] did you all see the new c64 model theyre releasing for $1499 [10:02] jaybutts: try this: gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz && compiz --replace [10:02] gogeta: there is a bigger problem though: some friends and I wanted to play a few rounds of C64 games on a projector at the university. Sad thing is: more than 90% of the disks were already damaged, lost magnatism. [10:02] remember how dangerous magnets used to be lol [10:02] magnets HOW DO THEY WORK [10:03] loop: that's for #ubuntu-offtopic [10:03] these freenode servers sure are the bomb [10:03] loop, gogeta: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_64#Brand_re-use [10:04] MonkeyDust: Thanks but it still doesn't show up :( [10:04] loop, gogeta the idea of your whole desktop computer inside your keyboard is still fascinating. :) [10:04] ichbinder: there caled laptops [10:04] ichbinder: or tablets [10:04] lol [10:04] gogeta: that's something else. :P [10:04] or smartphones [10:04] !ot | ichbinder loop gogeta pls [10:04] ichbinder loop gogeta pls: #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! [10:06] llutz_: sorry... it started with support, though... ;) [10:07] ichbinder: no worries, just continue in -offtopic pls [10:07] hi why my "super fast hard disk" are configured to [ 4258.105606] ata4: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 310) [10:07] [ 4258.111221] ata4.00: configured for UDMA/33 [10:07] UDMA/33 this is ancient [10:12] morning all, when using Ubuntu 'ls -l' seems to list a date corresponding to when the files inside a directory were last modified is that correct? [10:12] feisar: yes [10:12] llutz_: great, thanks [10:14] anyone can help me set up mail server [10:14] the guide on web doesn't work [10:14] hi everybody. multitouch kernel driver development question [10:14] petan|work: mail server to do what exactly? [10:15] llutz_: receive and send emails over smtp / pop3 / imap [10:15] i'm developing a multitouch driver for kernel. I'm basing myself on examples in kernel source [10:15] I installed dovecot and postfix [10:15] petan|work: postfix, perfectly documented [10:15] I can send emails out but I can't receive them [10:15] hi to all, i have a problem: at boot i cannot mount /tmp (sda3, ext4,50GB size). I have /dev/sda2 swap partition (8GB) but also a /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 (listed with a size of 50GB in fdisk -l). I want to remove this cryptoswap. Where is configured? or change the configuration to use /dev/sda2 (8GB) for swap, not 50GB filesystem!! howto? [10:15] petan|work: check logs [10:15] when I send mails on local I can't receive them [10:15] I did [10:15] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1878039 [10:16] logs don't contain errors [10:16] is there any irc channel dedicated to kernel driver development? [10:17] petan|work: help in #postfix [10:17] are you sure it's related to postfix? [10:17] I think it's dovecot [10:17] where the problem is [10:17] petan|work: sry i cannot check, no www right now [10:17] because postfix can send mails out but I can't receive them === eric is now known as Guest13700 [10:20] hello, my unity 3d ist gone [10:20] anyone? [10:20] unity 2d seems to work and when I create a new user, it works too [10:21] Jeangleur: do you only see the top panel when logging to unity? [10:21] but 3d seems dead... gone. [10:21] no [10:21] Hey all [10:21] Jeangleur: did you play around with compizcontrol? :) [10:21] yes. well, actually, I didn't play. I just opened it to check the options. (honestly!!!) [10:22] Question: Say i'm signed in from SSH and start a program, how would I switch to that uhh.. context from a terminal on the actual computer proper. [10:22] compizcontrol unfortunately has habit of crashing and corrupting config files [10:22] i guess that's what happened here too - it disabled unity plugin [10:22] happened to me several times :) [10:22] yes! [10:22] crizzy: how to solve it? [10:22] any ideas? [10:23] Jeangleur: login to unity2d, open compizconfig again, find 'unity' plugin from the plugin list, i'm quite sure it's checked off. check it back on [10:23] Hi, isn't it possible to password protect a .tar.gz with archive manager? It only lets me set passwords on .rar or .zip [10:23] crizzy: that simple?! [10:23] should be [10:23] scarleo: no [10:23] Jeangleur: also run: unity --reset [10:24] then try logging back to 2d [10:24] *3d [10:24] ok, crizzy: it asks what to to with the conflicts [10:24] Question: Say i'm signed in from SSH and start a program, how would I switch to that uhh.. context from a terminal on the actual computer proper. [10:24] petan|work: ok, thanks [10:24] Jeangleur: uhh, just click whatever it recommends :D no idea [10:24] YaMeZ: what [10:24] anything it needs to get unity plugin enabled again [10:24] and unity --reset in the terminal? [10:24] YaMeZ: switch to what [10:24] yes [10:24] Jeangleur: it might not be needed though [10:24] Hi, I'm looking for a tool that does IOPS benchmark for HDD"s, something really informative [10:25] you can try logging just after re-enabling unity plugin [10:25] petan: In my case, I started a minecraft server from my phone via SSH, what if my phone disconnects and I want to interact with the program that it started through the actual computer [10:25] I'm not sure if I worded that right.. [10:25] hi guys [10:25] Hey aji [10:25] YaMeZ: you should start it with nohup so that it keep running if connection is lost [10:25] hi yamez [10:26] YaMeZ: I don't know how does it work, that program you talk about [10:26] Thanks petan i'll look up "nohup" [10:26] Ok if I keep a program running, how would I interact with it from another terminal? [10:27] YaMeZ: is it interactive program or it only has some output stream? [10:27] hi yamez are you chinese? [10:27] YaMeZ: I don't know what "interact" means in your case [10:27] YaMeZ: you should use screen (dettach/reattach sessions) [10:27] liran: iozone seems to be popular [10:27] you can't start interactive programs like mc in nohup [10:28] hey, does ubuntu 11.10 have xen hypervisior package? [10:28] liran: or this: http://freecode.com/projects/fio [10:28] hi all [10:28] is there a way to make shortcuts for the terminal? so if i type superget it types out sudo apt-get install fx? [10:28] izik: yes [10:29] izik: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=xen&searchon=names&suite=oneiric§ion=all [10:29] galagala: yes [10:29] galagala: aliases [10:29] liran: default would be iostat, I guess [10:29] crizzy: in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen i saw it say: Ubuntu 10.04 does not come with Xen binaries so you will have to manually download and compile Xen along with a kernel that is suitable to work with Xen. In this tutorial we will use Xen-4.0.1." [10:29] so what does this mean? [10:30] is there a shortcut for terminal? [10:30] izik: well you asked about 11.10 :) [10:30] gz [10:30] bonhoffer: ctrl-alt-t [10:30] izik: xen got integrated in kernel 3.0 which 11.10 has, earlier ubuntus don't [10:30] crizzy, thanks! [10:30] crizzy: thanks! it worked!!! [10:30] wow! [10:30] Jeangleur: :> [10:30] MonkeyDust, thanks! [10:30] crizzy:ok thanks [10:30] now be careful with compizconfig, it's pretty crappy beast [10:31] someone know howto use/configure cryptswap? I have enabled at system installation setup, but now i want to remove/modify. where is placed the config files? [10:31] is there a way to get a theme for the terminal, as opposed to doing it myself? [10:31] galagala : modify the .bashrc add alias xx=' your command ' [10:31] the 11.10 default is ugly [10:31] galagala: put them to ~/.bashrc file if i remember right.. like, alias mycommand="sudo apt-get install $1" should do what you want [10:31] i dunno what I changed in the plugin conflict shit, but however, it works. yesterday: 2 hours and no results, today, 5 min! [10:31] crizzy: you can't use $1 in aliases [10:31] crizzy: there is no need for that either [10:32] llutz_: oh, mkay, can't remember everything :) should work without it then [10:32] hello everyone, this will probably seem like a stupid question, but what do you reckon is better for system resources using a mail client like Thunderbird or access emails through webmail (i.e. browser)? [10:32] ederico: well, gmail is faster than any desktop client x) [10:32] Is the "user administration" section in this guide enough to add an administrative user to ubuntu or do you usually add more permissions? It seems I'm running into permissions issues pretty frequently when following various linux guides http://www.rackspace.com/knowledge_center/index.php/Ubuntu_-_Setup [10:34] Stuffness: you need to run system commands either with sudo or with root user [10:34] crizzy: I'm wondering, because I'm having trouble with system resources apparently, in fact I'm also considering switching to Kubuntu from Ubuntu (11.10) as I read that KDE is more efficient resource wise [10:34] Stuffness: 'sudo su' is easy trick to get in as root with your regular user :) [10:34] ederico: you don't really have to 'change' to kubuntu, you can just install 'kubuntu-desktop' package on your current installation to install "kubuntu" [10:35] crizzy: pls don't recommend "sudo su" here, "sudo -i" is the "correct" way to get a root-shell [10:35] ederico, if you want kde desktop use "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" [10:35] llutz_: end result is the same [10:35] crizzy: but with kubuntu-desktop, you menu becomes cluttered [10:35] your* [10:35] crizzy: not really [10:36] ederico, that will install the kde plasma desktop [10:37] CobraKhan007: would that allow me to select a desktop environment when logging in? [10:37] ederico: yes [10:37] ederico, yes. [10:37] MonkeyDust: thanks [10:37] crizzy, but I'm talking about specific cases where I know the command should work without sudo.. like, following a tutorial line for line [10:37] CobraKhan997: thanks [10:38] Hello there guys [10:38] np [10:38] ederico: sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm (or kdm) lets you choose between login managers [10:38] ederico: if you're gonna run kde you probably wanna change to kdm [10:38] Stuffness: if it's something that touches system outside your homedir, you need sudo [10:40] crizzy: I'll check that out === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo [10:44] actually, since I'm concerned with system resources, I might give LXDE a try. The laptop I'm using is around 5 years old now, I believe my problems started with Unity. [10:44] ederico: xfce might be worth trying too [10:44] crizzy: yes, reading about them [10:45] ederico: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop :) [10:45] crizzy: thanks [10:45] then you can just select xubuntu session from login manager [10:45] :) [10:45] it's probably more familiar if you've used to old gnome 2 [10:46] crizzy: so Xubuntu is Ubuntu with xfce? I always wondered what that was [10:46] ederico: yes [10:46] ederico: if you care about resources, you should go with lxde. much lighter than kde/xfce/gnome [10:46] Привет всем!!! [10:46] !ru| vasiliy335 [10:46] vasiliy335: Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. [10:46] ederico: all ubuntu/xubuntu/kubuntu are all in the exact same repositories, they aren't anyhow 'separate' distros apart from default packages at install cd's [10:47] ederico: so you can install and test them simply by apt-getting stuff [10:47] crizzy: so what happens is I change the desktop environment but would still use Ubuntu's apps (and those that I have installed myself after Ubuntu's installation?) [10:48] ederico: none of those get removed, you can run them just fine regardless of desktop environment [10:48] crizzy: great, thanks for the support [10:48] and you can change desktop environment simply from login screen session menu, depending on what mood you are in ;) [10:50] if you feel horny, try xxxfce [10:51] zagiub: sure! :-) [10:51] zagibu: sure! :-) [10:51] hey petan|work, you still there? [10:52] i'm running 11.10 and i'm having a lot of problem with my computer slowing right down to the point where I have to wait for it to catch up. The HD runs constantly at times like this. Also, it seems to be worse when I have the chrome browser running. Any ideas? [10:53] how much memory do you have? [10:53] Toph2: I have the same problem, I'm considering switching my desktop environment. I'll let others guide you though, as I'm quite a newbiew. [10:53] you can check it with free [10:54] or free -m [10:54] also 'htop' is nice for following resource/memory usage [10:54] Toph2, I havent been running ubuntu long but sometimes my terminal seems to just pause for a few seconds at a time [10:54] zagibu,,, 175 M free [10:55] Toph2: not alot [10:55] YaMeZ,,, i'm not talking a few seconde,, mine hangs for 30 seconds [10:55] gogeta,,, does chrome use a lot of resources? I have 1Gb of ram [10:55] Toph, oh.. naah i've never witnessed that. Also, i've not been able to install chrome. =( [10:56] Toph2: unity does [10:56] well, if you have 175MB free, it's not swapping yet, so that's not the problem [10:56] yo, anyone here used web administration for ubuntu servers? [10:56] gogeta: not really, it just needs decent gfx card. [10:56] perhaps i'm just short of memory [10:56] doesn't seem like it [10:56] crizzy: and what is that [10:56] greentech: i use ispconfig [10:57] any processes running in the background putting load on cpu? [10:57] Toph2: yes 1gb unity lags like crazy [10:57] is it any good, I'm not great at command line so would like some freindly user interface# [10:57] greentech: it was somewhat painful to get installed, but works fine [10:57] gogeta,,, why the constant HD activity? swapping? [10:57] greentech: xfce ir lxde [10:57] gogeta: installation tutorial is relatively simply if you just follow it step by step anyway [10:57] ** [10:57] Toph2: probly [10:57] greentech: [10:57] ok [10:58] greentech: try eBox [10:58] greentech: what about webmin? [10:58] I'm just installing 10.04 and it comes with EBox [10:58] !webmin| zagibu [10:58] zagibu: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [10:58] oh [10:58] greentech: ebox is mostly for configuring intranet services, like printing and ldap users [10:58] but that seems to be taken over by Zentyal which is proprietary [10:58] great, my network went down while I was installing xubuntu-desktop from the command line [10:58] Hi all. [10:58] so whats wrong with webmin [10:58] read above [10:59] greentech: no worrys you should be able to resume [10:59] greentech: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-10.04-lucid-lynx-ispconfig-3 take a look at this [10:59] How do I make the F12 button start Shutter instead of the default screenshot program? [10:59] greentech: http://www.ispconfig.org/ [10:59] ok I'll have a look, thanks [10:59] Can anyone tell why I'm getting my graphics like this? http://i40.tinypic.com/1491t28.png [10:59] greentech: just do sudo apt-get clean to clean out packages first [10:59] I'm on Ubuntu 11.10 [11:00] hrolf: reboot should fix that :P [11:00] The thing is that it is random (I haven't yet figured out how I came at this, but a reboot fixes that) [11:00] i've got it few times, no idea what actually causes it [11:00] crizzy: Yep [11:00] with Ubuntu 11.04 when I am using XDMCP, I am able to login to the user and getting the display. But whenever I am trying to launch any application ( e.g. terminal ) in the taskbar, it says starting terminal and after sometime its closing resulting in not starting terminal. This is happening to all the applications. Any help? [11:00] Anyone knows if a bug has been filed for it? [11:01] yeah it'll be a new install so I can just leave out eBox and look at ispconfig [11:01] when reading htop, what are the critical indicators? CPU%, Mem%, or what? [11:01] hrolf: reporting it again won't hurt, at least gives attention to the maintainers, they'll mark it dublicate if needed ;) [11:01] greentech: i recommend ispconfig if websites is what you wanna host [11:02] is there a built in resource monitor in 11.10 [11:02] well I wanna do mainly user and printer management, but with some web resources [11:02] isp config can do just web stuff [11:03] ebox however should work in concurrent with ispconfig though [11:03] they're kinda doing different things [11:03] bonhoffer: 'system monitor' application [11:03] bonhoffer: or if you want commandline one, install 'htop' package, it's cleaner than regular top [11:03] is eBox still supported? [11:04] crizzy, thanks! [11:04] greentech: it is in 10.04 at least [11:04] is there a way to see how fast my hard drive is working? [11:06] iostat is one such way [11:07] hi [11:07] So ISPConfig doesn't manage OpenLDAP or Proxies or can you get it to do that? [11:07] zagibu, thanks [11:08] zagibu, i can't find iostat? [11:08] ok, time to logout and try out lxde and xfce, later [11:09] bonhoffer: you need to install sysstat [11:09] i didn't find kqemu package for ubuntu 11.10 [11:09] What's the ftp url for ubuntu minimal cd for 11.10? [11:09] Is there a way I can get the Print Screen button to open Shutter instead of the default screenshot program? [11:10] !minimal | Ibis [11:10] Ibis: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [11:10] MonkeyDust, am now [11:11] But this only gives http url. [11:11] wow -- you folks are helpful, if i have a drive at smb://aloadae.local/volume_1/personal and i want a nice symlink, is there a quick way to do that? [11:12] Ibis: ftp is the same [11:12] like ~/aloadae [11:12] bonhoffer: You need to use smbfs [11:13] theadmin, would i load that with apt-get or software center? === anand is now known as anny [11:13] got it === anny is now known as rolf [11:13] bonhoffer: I suppose it should come preinstalled... You might check APT though === rolf is now known as anand [11:14] installing -- so apt is still here, but synaptic is gone? [11:14] i always saw them as the same :) [11:14] bonhoffer: You can always install Synaptic from APT [11:14] hi [11:14] theadmin, so now with smbfs installed can i do that symlink? [11:14] i am using ubuntu 10.04 [11:14] bonhoffer: Well, it's not exactly a symlink, but yeah, you should read the manual to it [11:14] and i have problem installing lamp-server [11:15] anand: try tasksel [11:15] i tried sudo apt-get install lamp-server^ but it gives me some dependencies problem [11:15] theadmin, will do -- any links appreciated -- i basically want ~/foo to be smb://aloadae.local/v_1/ [11:16] theadmin, is there a phrase for what i'm trying to do (e.g. "map remote smb share to local filesystem") [11:17] bonhoffer: http://extremesarcasm.org/wp/2011/10/517/ [11:17] Richie086, hmm. . . do i trust you? [11:17] anand: sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql-server [11:18] its my website, its a link to an article about how to map smb shares to your computer [11:18] anand: tasksel will help you (task select) [11:18] bonhoffer: mount smbfs, basically [11:18] i'm having a problem with my partitions... i gave [11:18] Richie086, oh i was expecting a jpg of "google it" or something from the sarcasm reference [11:19] theadmin, thanks [11:19] i gave '/' 40gb, and '/home' about 460gb... and it keeps complaining that i have almost no space available [11:19] lol no just my sense of humor [11:19] i tried this before and i got this [11:19] http://pastebin.com/AqXBsdCy [11:19] blup: please paste the output of "df -h" [11:19] !paste | blup [11:20] blup: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [11:20] I'm using VirtualBox, I've added a shared directory which has created /media/sf_mydirectory.. is there any way to make VirtualBox share to /var/www or to make /var/www mirror the contents of /media/sf_directory? [11:20] blup: type df -h|pastebinit and paste the outcome here [11:21] supercabbage_uk: You can just: ln -s /media/sf_directory /var/www [11:21] the link, that is === jesus is now known as Guest44413 [11:22] supercabbage_uk: However, you have to delete the current /var/www/ first [11:22] MonkeyDust: http://pastebin.com/b32m8Ych [11:24] blup: i think the problem is the 98% [11:24] MonkeyDust: i see :) [11:24] hi [11:24] theadmin, works great thanks [11:24] Hi, I'm trying to use the ndiswrapper, I managed to install it an install the win driver for my usb TL-WN727N adapter, but the wlan interface is not present, although I loaded the ndiswrapper module, what else is needed to load the interface ? [11:24] supercabbage_uk: No problem [11:24] weird [11:24] i'm sorry, i think my problem was /var, which should've been another partition [11:25] can't ctrl+click multiple items when trying to upload files to various websites [11:25] blup: that's definitely not 40 GB for / [11:25] Question is now, how do I make it so the files and directories in the /var/www directory remain in the www-data group? [11:25] the reason I fallback to ndiswrapper is that the connection was dropping after a while [11:25] bonhoffer: did the tutorial on my website work? [11:25] Otherwise it's kind of pointless === sentinel is now known as Guest87665 [11:25] supercabbage_uk: Well, uh, what is the filesystem of the host OS, which this folder resides on? [11:25] hi [11:25] Vista :-/ [11:25] i have problems with sopcast [11:25] http://pastebin.com/KFkHRT3A [11:25] supercabbage_uk: Then you can't, you need a filesystem with UNIX permission support for that [11:26] FFS! [11:26] Richie086, i'm working with it -- i have smb://aloadae.local/volume_1/ i'm trying to figure out what fstab would take [11:26] I've wasted hours on this [11:26] and no credential file needed for me [11:26] supercabbage_uk: Vista is not a filesystem ;) [11:26] So there's NO way that I can have a folder in Vista, that can act as my /var/www? [11:26] supercabbage_uk: No. [11:26] fucks sake [11:26] I had everything working with FTP [11:26] supercabbage_uk: Wipe vista and install Ubuntu as your main OS :P [11:26] !language | supercabbage_uk [11:26] supercabbage_uk: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [11:26] then accidentally loaded a snapshot [11:27] hello,I am using ubuntu 10.04 along with windows 7 NOW i want to upgrade my ubuntu os,any one can help me how(I am novice linux user) [11:27] sab0: sudo do-release-upgrade [11:27] MonkeyDust: so one question, if i give '/' 40gb, and '/home' 500gb... does that limit my /home partition to 40? (since its under /) [11:27] come on, anybody knows how to set the wifi adapter ? [11:27] blup: No [11:27] supercabbage_uk: if you need a Windows filesystem to have specific Unix permissions, you need to mount it w/ those permissions [11:27] blup: I mean, mountpoints mean nothing [11:27] blup: no, but 40gb is a lot for / [11:27] blup: your /home partition is still 500GB [11:28] MonkeyDust, yea, gave it 20gb, sorry... i got it out of my head [11:28] Richie086, any thoughts appreciated [11:28] theadmin, thank you,only this command is enough to upgrade and after upgrading will i face any problem with my grub loader? [11:28] so since they're different partitions, /home being under / changes nothing right? [11:28] sab0: Yeah that's enough, and no you shouldn't, however note that this will upgrade you to 10.10 [11:28] sab0: You can't really upgrade to 11.10 without going through 10.10 and 11.04 first [11:28] blup: the position of a filesystem in the directory tree doesn't matter, what matters is the actual size of the filesystem [11:28] is there a gui for fstab [11:29] theadmin, thank you,i will try now [11:29] bonhoffer: I think there is something called MountManager [11:29] szal, MonkeyDust, theadmin: thanks a lot [11:29] thanks [11:29] a gui for fstab, weird question, /me wonders [11:30] bonhoffer: there's python-fstab [11:30] \exit [11:30] gui for fstab: gedit/gvim [11:30] and MountManager, idd [11:30] llutz, i love cli, but i would like to get a hand on formatting this file right [11:31] what About gedit? [11:31] my problem is i cant find my nic card in ifconfig -a [11:31] I have a slight problem. I want to install Ubuntu on a machine that has no internet connections, and the only USB devices i have is a 1GB MP3 player, a 32GB Camera and a 4GB phone. Non of which can be booted from... Is there a way to install Ubuntu in windows, and then remove windows? [11:31] (WinXP) [11:31] bonhoffer: learn the syntax, you'll need it. any GUI would just be useless [11:31] theadmin, i tried its giving me "no new release found" mmessage [11:31] bonhoffer: it will look like that, but when you specify it in fstab, just do it like the tutorial [11:31] sab0: Oh sorry. [11:32] Tyrope: You can try, but I'm afraid you won't like the way it's done, it's complicated [11:32] Tyrope: Just boot the Ubuntu LiveCD and install from there. [11:32] theadmin : any solution for this problem?? [11:32] in some moments when i restart my pc its going to detect [11:32] sab0: if you want 11.10, reinstalling will be a lot cleaner anyway [11:32] scoopex: no CD/DVD burners around here. [11:32] sab0: not to speak of saving time [11:33] lan card problem help me out guys [11:33] theadmin: I like complicated. Any webpage that shows me a step-by-step? :) [11:33] Tyrope: First, you need to download and install VirtualBox. Secondly, you need to assign it to your real harddrive: VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -rawdisk \\.\PhysicalDrive0 -filename C:\lol.vdi [11:33] Tyrope: Next, load that hard drive in Virtualbox and install Ubuntu there [11:33] szal : i want to install first 10.10 then will move to 11.10 [11:33] Tyrope: You can order a pressed Ubuntu CD from Canonical. [11:33] Tyrope: Finally, boot into the Ubuntu and kill Windows [11:33] Tyrope: grub2 installed on that pc? [11:33] bonhoffer: //alodae.local/volume_1 /media/mountpoint cifs auto,iocharset=utf8,uid=USER,gid=GROUPID,credentials=/root/.cifscredentials,file_mode=0775,dir_mode=0775 0 0 [11:33] scotty^: You're not helping. [11:33] Tyrope: you could perhaps do some cimplex tricks with vbox [11:33] sab0: and since live upgrades in *buntu are inherently unreliable (compared to other distros, that is), there's a good chance you end up w/ an unusable system after 3 upgrade runs (10.04 -> 10.10 -> 11.04 -> 11.10) [11:34] no [11:34] Richie086, thanks! [11:34] theadmin: That doesn't sound too complicated. [11:34] I am back, I think I will be going with LXDE as an alternative to Unity, now I'd like to change the pallpaper but can't seem to find how to do that, does anybody know, please? [11:34] so i see how the dns is working there [11:34] Tyrope: Well maybe for some, most users think using command line is veeeeery hard [11:34] just make sure i spelled the hostname and the share path name correct [11:34] theadmin: Aye, commandlining can be tricky. ;) [11:34] <3 CLI [11:34] bonhoffer: then after you save the file, do [11:34] bonhoffer: sudo mount -a [11:34] ignore my previous question, I found out! [11:35] mother board nic not working [11:35] tyrope, use usb start up from live cd. then install it from usb [11:35] bonhoffer: let me know if you run into any hiccups [11:35] hi everyone! [11:35] bonhoffer: cuz im going to bed if you are good to go [11:35] Alright, thank you all for your help. I'm going to try the virtualbox thing. [11:36] is there a place for a pinguy os guy here? [11:36] jerinian: definitely not here [11:36] szal : i am only worried about to reinstall the newer version from the scratch because i am using windows 7 and before i suffered a lot with grub loader ;thats why i wanted to upgrade rather reinstall it again [11:36] jerinian: they have their own channels and forums [11:36] ethernet card is not detecting [11:37] szal : ok i was hoping someone could help me here, yeah they have their own channel, but no one seem to care [11:37] sounds lonely, jerinian ;) [11:37] its my 2nd day joining the pinguy channel and not a word from them :( [11:38] monkeydust: yes [11:38] can i atleast join here for a day? [11:38] jerinian: that's why you don't use distros that appear to have no user base ;) [11:38] jerinian: Only for Ubuntu question. [11:38] susheel: lspci and paste output to pastebin.ubuntu.com [11:38] yes, its about ubuntu [11:39] jerinian: you can stay here all the time you want, but what's on-topic here is technical talk about those Ubuntu flavours released by Canonical and not modified by a third party [11:39] jerinian: i used to have pinguy os in vbox, come to #ubuntu-offtopic, maybe i ca help [11:39] jerinian: iow, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Edubuntu, Lubuntu [11:40] really? thanks [11:40] szal: what iow? [11:41] jerinian: in other words [11:42] hehe, now i know. [11:42] szal: is there also a channel for wine gamers or users? [11:43] richie,thank u bro [11:43] jerinian: there is #winehq and there's the AppDB [11:43] !appdb [11:43] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [11:45] jenerian, #winehq [11:45] hello guys [11:45] how to lock version in command line (cli) in ubuntu ? [11:46] dellph: Do what? [11:46] I am trying to install netebans but now able to do that [11:46] how can i ? [11:46] netbeans* [11:47] theadmin, lock a version in a certain package [11:47] !pinning | dellph [11:47] dellph: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [11:47] dellph: echo "packagename hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections [11:47] theadmin, thanks! [11:47] does kernel 2.6 support gnome3 [11:48] Hey guys, I have a problem. Ubuntu 11.10 is my main OS with GRUB being my main bootloader, i've just installed XP on another partition and done sudo update-grub but grub can't find XP. [11:48] mao: lolwut, kernel has nothing to do with gnome. Yes, gnome3 works with 2.6.x [11:49] anyone? D: [11:49] Pavilliox: Patience, dude, nobody can answer right away [11:49] theadmin: I know, it's just this is irritating me [11:49] I don't understand why update-grub hasn't found XP [11:49] Pavilliox: Tell it where it is manually, eh... [11:50] theadmin: How? I don't really wanna be editing the grub files [11:50] Pavilliox: there's this thing call bootmanager [11:50] called* [11:51] theadmin: I copy my ubuntu's kernel and module to fedora's root,and the fedora can boot correctly,except that gnome3 does't work,what do you think the problem is? [11:52] mao: ask in #fedora [11:52] mao: we don't support Fedora here [11:52] mao: errrrrrrrrrrr... That's a very odd thing to do... [11:52] MonkeyDust: Is it called bootmanager in the repos? [11:52] mao: and if you mix stuff from different distros, you're on your own anyway [11:52] Pavilliox: lemme check === as456fgt is now known as dury [11:52] mao: Are you creating a Frankenlinux? [11:54] Pavilliox: try startupmanager [11:54] "StartUp-Manager configures some settings for grub, usplash and" [11:54] MonkeyDust: Already have, can't find anything with that, that's just to edit the boot timing, etc [11:54] splash screens. It provides an easy to use interface. [11:54] I don't want to compile the kernel because it's a waste of time,so i use a existing one [11:54] mao: whatever, offtopic here [11:56] llutz: ok,i'll ask help in #fedora,thanks anyway [11:56] mao: btw they'll refuse to help you too. i guess [11:56] I don't think you'll get much support in there either [11:56] < szal> mao: and if you mix stuff from different distros, you're on your own anyway [11:56] mao: Just like Dr Frankenstein's monster, I predict much horror, and then it will all end in tears. [11:57] mao: And Fedora already comes with a precompiled kernel. [11:57] *buntu kernel in Fedora.. I doubt that he will be received with open arms in #fedora [11:57] mao: try ##linux or find some gnome(3) channels [11:58] Any other ideas as how to add XP to GRUB2? [11:58] hi [11:58] connect irc.debian.org [11:58] arf! [11:58] meow [11:58] obert-: meow [11:59] Fedora's precompiled kernel has a small problem on my computer but bothering me a lot [11:59] how can i download netebans latest version in my ubuntu [11:59] netbeans* [11:59] harsh343: Check the software center [11:59] salammm [11:59] Pavilliox, i checked but not able to found [11:59] harsh343: netbeans is not in the repositries [11:59] mao: And this problem is fixed in Ubuntu's kernel? [12:00] harsh343: http://netbeans.org/downloads/index.html === fayimora_ is now known as fayimora [12:00] leave [12:00] hi [12:00] any reason to prefer the 11.04 release over 11.10? [12:01] chelz: gnome2 [12:01] scoopex: on my ubuntu it works well [12:01] I'd like to defragment a fat32 formatted hard drive from ubuntu, but I can't use the "copy off and back" trick because the data won't fit anywhere else... google hasn't helped here, so can anyone tell me if such a utility exists? [12:01] Pavilliox, ok [12:01] does anyone know what a mzp file is? Can it be mounted/extracted in ubuntu? the README file says to mount it with winrar ?? [12:01] scotty^:on my ubuntu it works well [12:01] deej1976: i'm basically planning on going with xfce to handle all that [12:01] livingdaylight: http://filext.com/ [12:02] detly: You're going to have to have enough space for the files. Are you formatting because of fat32s 4gb filesize limit? [12:02] szal what's that? [12:02] deej1976, which editor is the best for php ? [12:02] chelz: 11.10 xubuntu should be fine, any one else? [12:02] hi. just upgraded to 11.10, how do I get rid of unity? [12:02] Pavilliox: I'm not formatting anything, and I have enough space for the files - they're already on this disk [12:02] haha [12:02] livingdaylight: telling you what file extensions are known to belong to [12:02] harsh343: I like geany, with syntax highlighting [12:02] detly: I'm confused to what you're asking [12:03] detly: Oh derp, I misread. You're trying to defrag [12:03] deej1976, and what about net beans ??????? [12:03] deej1976: have you heard of any major issues one should be aware of? (stuff not on the release notes) [12:03] Pavilliox: I was as confused as you :P [12:03] harsh343: I only do small updates and tests, netbeans is overkill for me. [12:04] !netbeans [12:04] chelz: I'm on 11.04 using gnome2, haven't used x. [12:04] deej1976, today i m installing netbeans and now i wil try to work on that [12:05] harsh343: Go for it, it install on 11.10 when I tested it. [12:05] deej1976: what are you going to do when support runs out for 11.04? [12:05] ok [12:05] chelz: When I get time, 11.10 gnome3 [12:05] just upgraded to 11.10, and I think I`m missing some stuff,. specifically I dont have the "Login" application. also missing a lot of icons (I get white icons instead) [12:05] and idea? [12:06] deej1976: gnome3 over xfce and kde? [12:06] chelz: xfce would be next. never been one for kde. [12:06] theadmin: that "VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -rawdisk \\.\PhysicalDrive0 -filename C:\lol.vdi" command, do I run that from the windows cmdline? [12:08] Tyrope: Yeah, from the folder where virtualbox is installed [12:08] theadmin: thx. [12:11] deej1976, I want to know how can i eliminate permissions denied, right now i am facing some problem in copy and paste and so many things [12:11] is it possible to remove permission denied from the system === gerry_ is now known as easytiger [12:11] /msg NickServ identify geryman [12:12] harsh343: With out seeing the complete error.

[12:20] is there a way to use find, to search all subfolders in a certain folder for files that end on .foo ; but to display only folders that DO NOT contain .foo files? i got as far as: find . -name "*.foo" -print which would print all .foo files in all subfolders... [12:20] omry: The classic GNOME desktop has been dropped in 11.10. [12:20] scotty^, seriously? [12:21] someonelese: I don't understand your question... you want to search all directories that do not have ".foo" files for files that end with ".foo" [12:22] someonelese: find . !name "*.foo" -print [12:22] jrib, i want to search all subdirectories and list the ones that do not contain .foo files [12:22] omry: Yeah. If your graphics hardware doesn't support Unity 3D you fall back to the new Unity 2D.

[12:23] jrib, theadmin, it's for latex, i have all the .tex files in subdirectories, and i think i lost track of some of those directories..so i want to list the subdirectories that do not contain .tex files yet [12:23] nixmaniack: choose recovery console when logging in [12:24] MonkeyDust, i want to make that as my default, and I don't want root terminal [12:24] sab0: The aforementioned PPA should take care of that for you.

I suppose you did run the virtualbox installer with admin priveleges, right? [12:41] Hi to all [12:41] Is threre some official Unity-complaint page? :-) I'm becoming more and more frustrated by new Unity "features" (no font size switching; alt-tab switches between all,not current workspace; ...) and I want to vote against somehow. [12:41] :) [12:41] anand: dont use that ppa, its the reason the installation is broken [12:41] theadmin: also, wouldn't find . !name not do the same as find . -not -name ? [12:41] deej1976, thanks alots not i am able to edit anything in www [12:41] now* [12:41] theadmin: there's only 1 user, and it's WinXP... that gives auto-admin, right? [12:41] anand: 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/ptn107/testing/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages this is the problem [12:41] someonelese: it would (find path ! -name) [12:41] Tyrope: Yeah lol... Hm... Something totally weird there, sorry, no ideas. [12:41] iceroot: i am going to purge that then [12:41] theadmin: shall i try recreating the .vdi? [12:41] anand: its holding different versions then the one from the normal repos and because of that, dependencies doesnt fit [12:41] zimnyx: why don't You use xubuntu? :) [12:41] it's lighter [12:42] theadmin: or maybe lack of RAM? host only has 128MB [12:42] deej1976, means by changing the last path i am able to grant permissions any folder ? [12:42] and more "desktop" friendly :) [12:42] anand: deb http://www.geekconnection.org/remastersys/repository karmic/ this sounds strange because you are on lucid [12:42] deej1976, all permission like read write and remove all those stuffs [12:42] iceroot: yeah i can see that [12:42] is linux mint based on ubuntu? if so, does it have a software center? [12:43] anand: with that ppa its trying to install 2.2.20-0ubuntu1testing1~lucid1 which is a bad idea [12:43] !mint | tkruise [12:43] tkruise: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [12:43] hi [12:43] anand: please only use official ubuntu-repos. everything else is not supported here [12:43] llutz_ theadmin: it does... i am actually a bit under pressure with this so i'll try what jrib suggested and use comm to compare two lists [12:43] harsh343: Have you changed the permissions with chmod? [12:43] iceroot: actually one of my friend told me to try that [12:43] sutija: it's based on XFce? [12:43] iceroot: ok how to fix all this [12:44] yes :) [12:44] deej1976, no [12:44] !xubuntu | zimnyx [12:44] zimnyx: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [12:44] llutz_ theadmin jrib, that should do it too, just not as simple as with find [12:44] deej1976, but as per you command i am able to edit anything [12:44] harsh343: Yes [12:44] sutija: my problem is not Gnome, it's Unity. [12:44] I see... :) [12:45] zimnyx: I see :) [12:45] !notunity [12:45] 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 [12:45] after upgrade to Natty my system hangs during halt, in the phase where init process should end. it waits for some line signal from /dev/ttyS0 (i have serial console) and it continues halt only if i make the serial line active for a second. [12:45] and also the same thing i apply for downloads folder and now i am able to edit in downloads also [12:45] this command is very useful for me thanks alots dear [12:45] :) You should use xfce or KDE if you don' t like latest GNOME [12:45] deej1976, [12:45] :) [12:45] deej1976: thanks. [12:46] sutija: I haven't said I don't like Gnome :) === [sanyi] is now known as [Sanyi] [12:46] :) [12:46] sutija: thanks, I'll try switching to gnome-shell. [12:47] deej1976, and why chmod ? [12:47] simple read from serial line on the other end (terminal emulator) helps but that's nasty workaround. I'm wondering if anyone using serial console had this problem while system stops. [12:47] someonelese: i guess theres no simple find-oneliner for that. [12:47] deej1976: thanks! [12:47] llutz_ i think so too... [12:47] harsh343: Change mod, in a terminal do man chmod and have a read [12:47] mode* [12:48] why do i have to use "--full-resolver" every time when running aptitude safe-upgrade? this started with oneiric [12:48] i need a step by step guide on how to copy GPG keys to NSS for use in LibreWriter PDF signing. there is nothing that works around the net. is today my lucky day? [12:48] deej1976, but why i need this i am able to do anything with the previous command only [12:49] Which previous command? [12:50] deej1976, in the after noon chmod helps me when i am unable to read the any folder inside the www after that i am using sudo chmod 755 -R /var/www and able to read [12:51] hello [12:51] there [12:51] dd on command it is for what purpose ? [12:52] hey, i have a bin file which contains a gzip file, i'm trying to get the gzip part from it. I know gzip files starts with "1F 8B 08". So I open the bin file with a hex editor and search for that string. And get the offset. Convert it to decimal and use it in dd command. i.e: dd if=openrg-4.5.3.PRGE4202G_TEL_4.3.2.0250-DRGTW_96358.rmt of=test.img.gz bs=1c skip=28437 But it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong? [12:52] ? [12:53] zetui, from google: In computing, dd is a common Unix program whose primary purpose is the low-level copying and conversion of raw data. [12:53] harsh343: chmod -R 755 changed the permissions so all files are w,r,x for the owner and only r,x for groups and others. chown made you the owner of the www directory === Guest59350 is now known as jasef [12:54] yes but i don't understand what it is written here : 'is the low-level copying and conversion of raw data' [12:54] is that same as cp ? [12:54] ispirto: Have you tried running it through urar or similar to remove compression? [12:54] cp copies files, dd copies drives [12:54] or partitions [12:54] deej1976, and also not i am able to install netbeans now [12:54] thanks alots [12:54] very helpful today [12:55] Thelmaria, it's a firmware file. so it won't work :) [12:55] dd copies raw-data, from nearly everywhere [12:55] deej1976, actually due to so many command i always move to xp , i have two os in my lapi now i never do that [12:56] theadmin: I just realized... when setting up the VM, do i set it up as a WinXP or Ubuntu one? [12:56] (reinstalling vBox now btw. just to make sure it's on admin rights.) [12:56] harsh343: Welcome to a better world [12:57] anand: comment the lines in /etc/apt/sources.list then run "sudo apt-get uddate" to edit use "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" [12:57] deej1976, yes [12:57] thanks [12:58] what do you c&all raw-data ? [12:59] zetui: raw = dd doesnn't care if that is text/binary/anything [13:00] an example [13:00] deej1976, right now i am installing this netbeans-trunk-nightly-201111080600-ml-php-linux.sh now how can i install [13:00] ? [13:01] harsh343: Why do want the nightly-build? and not the stable from netbeans.org [13:01] what file compression utility does ubuntu use by default? [13:02] i.e. what is the name of the program? [13:02] !file-roller [13:02] Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME), Ark (KDE), or Xarchiver (XFCE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [13:02] zetui: you can create a backup of an entire harddrive with dd [13:02] thanks [13:02] someone knows how to set up dovecot? [13:02] deej1976, i am also newbie in netbeans but i want to use this, actually i am always using notepad++ and dream weaver but now in ubuntu it is gedit and also i want netbeans [13:02] zetui: dd if=/dev/sda of=/tmp/mbr.dat bs=440 count=1 will read 440 bytes from your disk and write it into a file, it doesn't care WHAT data it is reading [13:02] deej1976, any wrong installation [13:02] means download [13:02] San [13:03] So basicly there is no other solution to play silverlight streams then install windows ? [13:03] psilo23: there's moonlight [13:03] Hiyas all [13:03] psilo23: moonlight [13:03] psilo23: if moonlight can't handle it then no [13:03] "File Roller is a graphical interface to archiving utilities such as tar and zip. [13:03] MonkeyDust: It doesnt work properly [13:04] How lame is that :D [13:04] psilo23: Silverlight is lame in the 1st place [13:04] deej1976: what does that mean? [13:04] szal: i didnt choose it :) [13:04] imho whole silverlight is lame [13:04] and btw flash is lame also [13:04] psilo23: ever thought that microsoft intentionly made it that way? [13:04] auronandace: Thatś the weakest argument i ever heard :) [13:04] but true [13:05] for not getting something to work [13:05] psilo23: MS will do everything to make it unusable on other systems than win [13:05] psilo23: wow, you aren't very up-to-speed on vendor lock-in are you? :) [13:05] hotmedal: It's a GUI, to commands like bzip2, gzip, tar, 7zip etc... [13:05] thats the lamest argument i ever heard, period [13:05] /join #lubuntu [13:06] it didnt stop people in the past [13:06] so all of those programs exist separately? [13:06] psilo23: then you say MS is lame [13:06] <_joey> and the best distro is ...? [13:06] i say the argument that it doesnt work is lame [13:06] !best | _joey [13:06] _joey: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [13:06] people should get it to work instead of saying it doesnt work [13:06] is here someone who knows how to set up dovecot? [13:06] who can tell me what package the battery app relies on / with what it confilcts? (xmessage: "low battery") [13:06] or any other mail server [13:06] _joey: the one that fulfills your needs... [13:07] that it doesnt work is a fact, that people dont fix it, is a shame [13:07] psilo23: what's keeping you? [13:07] Can reprepro make multi versioned apt repos? [13:07] MonkeyDust: If i could i would :D [13:07] too bad im not a coder [13:07] <_joey> auronandace: the best is one which is well designed and supported [13:07] maybe coders are not interested enough in silverlight [13:07] <_joey> and it's stable [13:07] harsh343: download the stable netbenas and then in a terminal run chmod 777 ~/Downloads/netbeans-7.0.1-ml-linux.sh ; sudo ~/Downloads/netbeans-7.0.1-ml-linux.sh [13:08] <_joey> RedHat linux has been the best but nobody wants to acknowledge it [13:08] if i get instead of using this one : tar -C /tmp/cproot -cvf - . | tar -C /mnt -xvf - [13:08] is the gui for network proxy missing in 11.10? if not - what is the package name that provides it? [13:08] psilo23: Follow moonlight project, also M$ propised to donate silverlight "techology" to html5, check this too. [13:08] _joey: there are many (notice how vague my answers are, in line with your questions) [13:08] *promised [13:08] Silverlight is a dead end anyway, and so is Flash.. Windows 8 will rely heavily on HTML5 [13:08] _joey: Do you have any ubuntu support related question? [13:08] we can use dd correct ? llutz_ [13:08] But the thing that bothers me the most is that i switched to Ubuntu thinking this community was so great, then i have a question about Silverlight / Moonlight and people tell me to install windows [13:08] <_joey> llutz_: feeling touchy? [13:08] _joey: too much trolls here [13:09] psilo23: silverlight is a ms specific technology, what do you expect?

Everything so far so good and used the MAX disk capacity. Now when everything is installed and I do free -g I only see that I have 3 gig left while the disk is 250 gig.

I can stream using it but it will keep a logo in the center of the stream saying "Loading..."

[13:15] deej1976, i've extracted this gzip file from a bin file [13:15] i don't think there are other parts [13:15] ispirto: how about using the script containing the archive to extract it? if the author(s) haven't omitted that for whatever reason, it should come w/ an extract-only option [13:15] henkye: because there are never major-updates in the repos, just security updates [13:16] ispirto: There's an FAQ on the gzip site - http://www.gzip.org/#faq2 [13:16] henkye: where do you have a v185 nVidia driver?

[15:11] <_jesse_> likewise [15:11] Is anyone banning query spammers? [15:11] haylo_: looks like u have some trouble with ubuntu [15:12] PolitikerNEU: it would be easier if they were reported in #ubuntu-ops [15:12] no i like ubuntu a lot henkye - i actually really want it to succeed [15:12] haylo_: well, this ranting dont help ! [15:12] haylo_: do you have a Ubuntu support question or would you like to move the non-support discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic? [15:12] i just have a funny way of showing it sorry henkye il stop [15:13] haylo_: btw, ubuntu is OS brand, company behind it is Canoncial ^^ [15:15] How odd, there's no unusual plymouth themes installed, yet somehow I'm using the "spacefun" theme [15:15] PolitikerNEU: forwarded the report on :-) [15:16] (this, ended up as my boot splash somehow) svn.debianart.org/themes/spacefun/grub/grub-iso.png [15:17] can someone help, i can't get wireless to work [15:19] Jordan_U: I wish I could install it "normally". I have a laptop that corrupted its Windows installation when hibernated - so now it won't even let me enter BIOS, not to mention boot from USB or CD, and permanently tries to unhibernate from a corrupt drive -_- [15:19] Jayer some wireless cards are difficult to detect by default- i sometimes have to "switch" the wireless on and off to get linux systems to recognize it. But i am not an admin that is just my advice for trouble shooting [15:19] well its listed in lspci [15:19] but not in ifconfig [15:20] Jayar: what card is this? [15:20] SinusPi: If you can't boot from USB at all how do you plan to use this USB drive after Ubuntu is installed? [15:20] its a laptop, intel 10/100 pro [15:20] Jayar: Some wireless cards still require firmware and ndiswrapper as well [15:21] Jordan_U: put it in the lappy "normally". It's the laptop's internal drive, now removed and USB-enclosed. [15:21] yea i couldnt' install ndiswrapper fer some reason [15:21] i'll keep lookin [15:21] thnx tho [15:21] SinusPi: And why can't you install Ubuntu to this drive normally using whatever computer you're planning to use to create it? [15:22] Jordan_U: because I don't quite trust my desktop not to accidentally write something to its internal drives. Also, I'd have to mess with its boot sequence, and it's my work machine which I'd rather not break now. [15:23] is there a device manager type thing in ubuntu? === maedox is now known as paaln [15:24] SinusPi: Use Ubuntu 11.10, use automatic partitioning. Ubuntu's installer won't touch the internal drive if you tell it to install to the external. [15:24] Jayar ubuntu software center can install and dpkg [15:25] cool thnx [15:25] For some reason, I can't open my /home/cba123 directory. I can see other folders, including my Desktop. This stays after a reboot, any ideas on how I can fix this? [15:26] Jayar i think install synaptic package manager if you need a gui for more complicated package assesment [15:26] Just a continuation, nautilus on /home/cba123 just says "Loading..." and it sits there. [15:27] cba123: would be nice to run nautilus from terminal and see if there are errors [15:27] cba123: what are your mountpoints? do you have a different one for /home, or some kind of network filesystem mounted in your homedir? [15:28] cba123: possibly a samba directory or something? [15:28] henkye, I did, and no errors came up. [15:28] hi. i just updated to 11.10. now i am not able to log in as my old user. i created new user and logged in and it works. any poiters to fix this ? [15:29] cba123: so then u tried cd to that directory in terminal too ? [15:29] imbezol, I do have an NFS share mounted to it, now that you mention it. Just unmounted it, but I don't have it set to mount at boot. === pfsmorigo_ is now known as pfsmorigo [15:29] cba123: it's probably trying to assess that mountpoint [15:29] hi [15:29] hi everyone [15:30] ram111: I had similar problems, Iet me look for a link for you [15:30] hello and ubuntu to all! I have a problem connecting to my network printer... [15:31] imbezol, Well, if I do nautilus /home/cba123/foo/ it works fine, as does cd /home/cba123/foo/ in a terminal. [15:31] bumblebeebat: ok tks [15:31] shumpi, what kind of router, printer and ubuntu version? [15:31] guys in /etc/passwd what field can i use to identify human users? [15:32] ram111, Do you have a display working [15:32] henkye, Terminal opens in /home/cba123, I can move to other folders, but if I do "ls" or anything in the root /home/cba123 it just sits there. [15:32] sileni: what are you trying to do? [15:33] ubuntu 10.04 LTS, Brother HL 2170W and D-Link N150 (dir 600) [15:33] bumblebeebat: yeah. my display is working with a new login i created. but i am not able to activate my ATI driver. is this related ? [15:33] cba123: maybe some permissions issue ? try it as a root ? [15:33] zagibu: writing code to see if permissionis are set properly for home directories of users [15:33] Anyone know how to convert a gpt partition stlye disk to mbr without losing data? [15:34] anyone? [15:34] thanks for looking at it, kamiccolo. [15:35] ram111, my problems were related to my nvidia driver. I think there were some changes with lightdm [15:35] ram111, you could try this:http://mylinuxramblings.wordpress.com/2011/10/21/mythbuntu-11-04-to-11-10-upgrade-issues/ [15:35] bumblebeebat: how did u solve it ? [15:35] bumblebeebat: ok will check that out [15:36] bumblebeebat: i noticed during the update that the flgrx drivers didnt compile into module. may be that is the issue [15:36] henkye, Same thing, and if I go to /home in a root terminal ("sudo su" then "nautilus" and navigate to /home), my permissions seem ok. cba123 has read/write. [15:36] I get printer ´HL-2170W´:none as an error message. [15:36] Anyone know of a linux tool that will watch a directory for new files and then allow you to run a custom script against them. [15:37] henkye, imbezol, I tried thunar as well, and same issue. [15:37] cba123: if you're having trouble with a terminal and ls, don't bother with the guis [15:37] hi all, i have a ubuntu install (server, no gui). how do i install extra fonts on it? [15:37] cba123: you need to figure out why it's timing out trying to read that filesystem [15:38] cba123: post your mountpoints on a pastebin site [15:38] shumpi, what if iptables are blocking that ipp connection? === fayimora_ is now known as fayimora [15:38] you gotta lower your level a bit:) how do i know if that is the case? [15:39] I am trying to get my screen saver to work and I am getting an error saying xlib extension GLX is missing. What I am reading on the internet is suggesting my graphics card is not properly set up, but I can watch local and youtube videos fine, so I am not certain that is it. Can someone help me trouble shoot this? [15:40] shumpi, have You checked this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu ? :) [15:41] imbezol, List it with "df" in terminal, or post my fstab? [15:41] ah yeah... launchpad... on our server here I can't properly install launchpad packages as our firewall blocks outgoing connections to the key server any idea how to circumvent that, like proxies or different port? [15:41] bumblebeebat: my problem is not black screen. i am seeing lightdm, but when i try to login to my old account it goes to text mode and restarts light dm [15:41] GLX are GL extensions, which means OpenGL stuff, not sure what youtube has to do with it [15:42] yes, thx, thats the guide I was following [15:43] hi [15:43] cba123: both maybe.. and output of "mount" [15:43] I am not able to activate ATI driver in my updated ubuntu 11.10. log here http://paste.ubuntu.com/733185/ any help ? [15:43] does anyone have an ipod touch working on 11.10? [15:43] kamiccolo, I'll run through it again, see if i missed soething:) [15:43] Jordan_U: isn't there a DOS "sys" equivalent in Ubuntu, enough to make a drive bootable with the simplest shell on it..? [15:44] cba123: do those commands run cleanly or do they hang too? [15:44] you can boot into a shell by changing grub's init parameter to init=/bin/bash [15:45] imbezol, Mount ran fine, df hangs, as does ls in my /home/cba123 [15:45] I am not able to activate ATI driver in my updated ubuntu 11.10. log here http://paste.ubuntu.com/733185/ any help ? [15:45] zagibu: i thought maybe it might suggest the graphics were installed correctly... kinda new at this [15:45] cba123: yah.. your nfs mount is causing problems [15:45] cba123: you need to get it unmounted [15:46] theishi: for openGL to work, you might need another driver...a proprietary one, maybe [15:47] ok any good guides or walkthroughs on the subject zagibu ? [15:47] SinusPi: No. [15:47] imbezol, I've noticed. I forgot I mounted an extra nfs drive recently, and had to hot-unplug it from the remote server. I can't unmount it, it just hangs on that command. I did /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server stop, but didn't work. [15:47] ram111: does that help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1859180 ? [15:47] cba123: it may have a really long timeout. unless you have something critical going on you'll probably just want to reboot [15:48] theishi: try this first: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedDrivers [15:48] cba123: sudo umount -f /path/to/mount [15:48] SinusPi: If you don't need a full install though you can create a LiveUSB with Startup Disk Creator. [15:48] hello people, i have installed the latest version of xubuntu onto my eeePC successfully, but i have a little problem. I have a 4gb onboard flash that is being mounted not by the fstab file, i changed that by adding an entry like the link here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/733191/ [15:48] I restarted the system and then i noticed that it mounted the fs but didnt link it to the desktop [15:48] cba123: sometimes you can also get things hooked back up, mount it, and then unmount it cleanly [15:48] cba123: but nfs can be really stubborn [15:48] any ideas?? [15:48] moin [15:48] Jordan_U: ... but booting from USB on that damn laptop is out of the question, until I somehow force it to forget it was hibernated >_< [15:49] cammicolo - i checked "show printers shared by other systems" and it worked! Thanks loads! [15:49] can someone help me? i want to install the activity log manager [15:49] kammicolo - i checked "show printers shared by other systems" and it worked! Thanks loads! [15:50] SinusPi: USB Startup Disk Creator disks will work just the same as internal drives. [15:50] Jordan_U: Startup Disk Creator does much more than just making a device bootable. [15:50] Jordan_U: but they're on a USB pendrive, right? [15:51] bekks: I know that. [15:51] SinusPi: They don't need to be. [15:51] SinusPi can you get take the batteries out and unplug it etc and then try that live usb? THey call it startup disk creator but it makes usb drives [15:51] you can dd the 11.10 isos also. :-) [15:52] How can i install the log manager? [15:52] ranzi: what log manager [15:52] the activity log manager..i'm a totally beginner [15:53] i heard that its good [15:53] hello people, i have installed the latest version of xubuntu onto my eeePC successfully, but i have a little problem. I have a 4gb onboard flash that is being mounted not by the fstab file, i changed that by adding an entry like the link here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/733191/I restarted the system and then i noticed that it mounted the fs but didnt link it to the desktop [15:53] haylo_: tried all that. The only thing the lap wants to boot from, is its HDD. Under DOS, I'd just put the HDD in a USB enclosure, move it to another machine, SYS it, and move it back into the laptop. It'd probably cry that the drive isn't hibernated anymore, but should run. Unfortunately, I have no DOS handy, and it's NTFS anyway... [15:53] htop shows me a list of all system activity: sudo apt-get install htop [15:53] no idea what you are refering to ranzi and im and old timer [15:54] SinusPi: bekks: Any drive which can boot as a USB drive can also be booted as an internal drive (assuming it's an enclosure that allows you to move the drive in such a way). [15:54] i've installed the newest version. now i want to install the package of the log manager. or other question..how can i disable the lenses in this version? [15:54] ranzi: Do you mean zeitgeist? [15:54] upgarded from 11.04 to 11.10 and lost X comletely when I reinstalled gnome/removed unity/lightdm... need to configure the system to start gdm again (dpkg-reconfigure something?) [15:54] yes [15:55] Jordan_U: it's a regular 2.5" drive, which I moved out of the lap into a USB enclosure. No idea what you mean by booting a USB drive as an internal drive... [15:55] Jordan_U: BAsically there is no difference between external and internal drives, besides the connector. [15:55] bekks: That was my point. [15:56] Hey! Obvious statement; I need help [15:56] Jordan_U: But you cannot use a usb stick as an internal drive in most cases ;) [15:56] and there i want to disable the "lenses" for file folder [15:56] Pruitt: Then just ask please. [15:56] or install the manager to controll the record of my data [15:57] ranzi: try gnome-activity-journal [15:57] ranzi, sudo apt-get remove unity-lens-files [15:57] orca-autostart maybe? I'm not a noob, just need direction on what's changed (beyond having read the changelog) [15:57] I just installed ubuntu 11.04 and now when I full screen my video in Movie Player, or VLC, I reboot back to login screen [15:57] ranzi htop will show you your system processes maybe that will help you [15:57] how can I check if a port is open on a remote server? (FTP port) [15:57] My computer tech level isn't too high, so go easy [15:57] aeiou nmap remote_server -p 21 [15:57] All right, simplifying... My goal: make the HDD bootable. Basis: HDD is now connected via USB to a Windows machine, which should not be rebooted/destabilized. I thought I could put Ubuntu on the HDD, by writing an ISO to the disk, I don't know, and moving it back into the lappy. Any other ideas..? [15:58] thanks [15:58] deej1976, state: filtered means firewall is blocking? [15:58] aeiou: yes [15:58] SinusPi the hdd is bootable when connected to a usb post when you change the bios options to boot from usb [15:58] SinusPI: that won't work [15:59] unable to connect to system bus [15:59] haylo_: I can't enter BIOS on the lappy; it's stuck in the "unhibernate only" mode some laptops now have. [15:59] SinusPi: you could dd the iso to the hd. but not sure how you would install from that to the.hd. make several partions perhaps [15:59] waiting for network configuration (then again, up to 60 more seconds), eth0 doesn't come up [15:59] SinusPi: if you want a bootable HD, you have to put a bootloader on the HD [16:00] SinusPi: Never heard of "unhibernate" until now. [16:00] sudo apt-get remove unity-lens-files -> is this only for the files and file folder lens? [16:00] bekks: me either [16:00] or is this for all 4 lenses? [16:00] ranzi, only for the files one. [16:00] zagibu: I have two graphics cards (both are onboard as this is a laptop), one is an intel and the other NVidia. According to the information in the link they both have their drivers correctly installed, and the NVidia is supposably in use. The problem may have to do with the fact that I am currently using a Windows Manager. [16:00] i'll try it [16:00] SinusPi: Are there any other option during boot, like F10/F12 for a boot menu? [16:01] bekks: some laptops have it for faster startup. If you hibernate from Windows, booting back up has NO option to enter BIOS nor to change boot devices. [16:01] deej1976: ^ [16:01] SinusPi: Thats pretty normal and "not new" :) [16:01] theishi: what? a Windows Manager on Linux? are you crazy? <- just kidding [16:01] SinusPi: Just power it off, and start it. Then enter the BIOS. [16:01] ok, simple question, how do I change my window manager from lightdm to gdm. that's all I'd like to do. [16:01] zagibu: NotIon, is the one I am using [16:02] Did I miss the answer, or is the answer still being looked for? [16:02] bekks: I don't think you understand. There's NO option to enter the BIOS now that it was hibernated. [16:02] blink: sudo apt-get install gdm [16:02] it's already installed [16:02] blink: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm [16:02] i installed gnome, then ran dpkg-reconfigure gdm [16:02] SinusPi: Then shut it down completely, without hibernating, and start it again. [16:02] and it had no effect, no prompts, nothing. [16:02] ... [16:03] bekks: please, I'm a bit more tech-savvy than you think I am. ;P [16:03] so the lens is still there [16:03] blink: thats how ive done it dozens of times [16:03] theishi: never heard of it [16:03] and /var/log/messages is empty [16:03] ranzi, logout login =) [16:03] bekks: the system died; on startup it now has a tiny little "missing operating system" problem. [16:03] zagibu: it isn't too well know, it is based on Ion3 [16:03] dr_willis: this is post upgrade. everything in this POS is broken [16:03] oh ok^^ sry [16:03] from network to dbus, to xorg [16:03] I have ubuntu 10.04 installed on pc for a looooong time, now I'm trying to open my pc and it display the following error messages>> mount:mounting /dev/disk/by-uuid/blablabla on /root failed :invalid argument mount:mounting /dev on /root/dev failed:No such file or directory mount:mounting /sys on /root/sys failed:No such file or directory mount:mounting /proc on /root/proc failed:No such file or directory Target filesystem does [16:03] SinusPi: Maybe you can try to reset it. [16:03] blink: i always clean install.. [16:04] bekks: BUT, some BIOS setting seems to be adamant to try to unhibernate and not allow any other boot. [16:04] theishi: what happens if you type glxgears in console? [16:04] and the prompt becomes (initramfs) [16:04] bekks: only possible by shorting the battery on the mainboard. Not gonna do that. [16:04] anybody help me, please? [16:04] the usual error i mentioned before plus this one: Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual [16:04] hi, i need to grab the first line of each files in a directory and add them to the top of the same file that was greped . any ideas how ? [16:05] SinusPi: I'm not sure, but I don't think the Bios has control of hibernation [16:05] bekks: there's literally NO option, NO (known) key combination that would work on the POST screens now. It goes straight to booting from the disk. [16:05] SinusPi: Thats why I suggested to reset it. ;) === olivier__ is now known as DannyButterman [16:05] perhaps #hardware may know [16:06] bekks: Any ideas how to do that, other than shorting the batt? [16:06] No one? Bueller? [16:06] shorting the battery might kill the whole thing ;) [16:06] shumpi, hoorray!! :) [16:06] so [16:06] SinusPi: Did you take a look at the manufacturer's site? [16:07] help, please [16:07] bekks: I kinda know that ;P Other ideas involve using some Fn+ESC key combo with a CD inserted and a BIOS image put on it - but no go. [16:07] kamiccolo, seriously awesome:) [16:07] where's the guy, who give me the advice? with the lens [16:07] ranzi, is it working ? [16:07] ah you . man thank you [16:07] it worked [16:07] I have ubuntu 10.04 installed on pc for a looooong time, now I'm trying to open my pc and it display the following error messages>> mount:mounting /dev/disk/by-uuid/blablabla on /root failed :invalid argument mount:mounting /dev on /root/dev failed:No such file or directory mount:mounting /sys on /root/sys failed:No such file or directory mount:mounting /proc on /root/proc failed:No such file or directory Target filesystem does [16:07] ranzi, cool :) [16:07] and the prompt becomes (initramfs) [16:07] but, it's gone far off Ubuntu, not gonna drag this offtopic thing anymore. Moving to other channels, if I find any suitable. [16:08] bekks: What make is the laptop ? [16:08] Pruitt: you might want to look at the output of dmesg after the forced logout === Lynx is now known as Guest27132 [16:08] zagibu: did you see my reply... i forgot to mention your name [16:08] i searched hundred of sites and so.... and this little command^^ [16:08] deej1976: I have no clue - SinusPi has that problem :) [16:08] theishi: then it is certain that opengl is not working for you [16:08] How do i open an external disk as root (using xubuntu)? [16:08] I don't know what that means [16:08] deej1976: ASUS TravelMate. [16:09] I have ubuntu 10.04 installed on pc for a looooong time, now I'm trying to open my pc and it display the following error messages>> mount:mounting /dev/disk/by-uuid/blablabla on /root failed :invalid argument mount:mounting /dev on /root/dev failed:No such file or directory mount:mounting /sys on /root/sys failed:No such file or directory mount:mounting /proc on /root/proc failed:No such file or directory Target filesystem does [16:09] ????? [16:09] the first time i followed the instructions from one website...the dash board crashed :D [16:09] SinusPi: Sorry [16:09] so, can i add lenses? [16:09] zagibu: well I know that.... but is it possible the drivers are set up correctly, but opengl isn't? [16:09] dr_willis: I don't have that option, but considering it now, I think I'd clean install debian, never had problems like this there [16:10] How about a revert to an older version? Can I do that or is it like Windows in that it can't go back without a wipe and reinstall? [16:10] How do i open an external disk as root (using xubuntu 11.10)? [16:10] like this takes 120 seconds to time out: modem-manager[1106]: Could not get the system bus. Make sure the message bus daemon is running! Message: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: Connection refused [16:10] bekks: Sorry [16:10] theishi: no, opengl is included in the drivers...but there might be problems with X and window managers, don't know too much about it, though [16:10] and when eth0 comes up, it's unbound to any address and unconfigured, bring it down, and back up, suddenly the DHCP lease is there [16:10] Pruitt: Revert what to an older version? [16:11] theishi: can you find out which is your active video device? [16:11] ubuntu 11.04 back to 10.10 [16:11] is it possible to see the bios version from ubuntu ? [16:11] zagibu: i am currently using two screens, I think they both are [16:11] Pruitt: Just like you cannot revert windows 2003 back to windows 2000, you have to have a backup. [16:11] so I guess I'll ask one more time before I abandon this distro. How can I get gdm to start (upstart, whatever). don't say apt-get install or dpkg-reconfigure gdm [16:11] How do i open an external disk as root (using xubuntu)? [16:11] theishi: I don't think you can use both at the same time... [16:12] 'Sup [16:12] 2nd question. can i add more lenses? [16:12] Hello everyone. I have a USB drive connected to my desktop that is mounted as /media/BACKUP I would like to change the permissions of this HD so that I may access it via Samba. I have tried chmod 777 BACKUP to no avail, I have also tried changing permissions via GKSU Nautilus, and still, nothing. How can I change the permissions of this so that I can access is using SAMBA on my laptop? [16:12] zagibu: can you give me the command to determine which one is active? [16:12] Well crap. [16:12] Thanks anyway [16:13] I did this, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde, as suggested yesterday by someone, and it worked pretty well. I have a blank Ubuntu install with no GUI installed whatsoever, but the problem I now have is that I can't boot if the splash screen in GRUB is enabled [16:13] I've tried updating Plymouth to no effect [16:13] dear people, anybody would help me , please?? [16:13] ranzi, sure. There are no others default lenses, but you can have a look at this list http://askubuntu.com/questions/38772/what-lenses-for-unity-are-available [16:13] theishi: I would, if I knew it [16:14] It just freezes on the very first boot splash after GRUB if I don't remove 'quiet splash vt.handoff=7' [16:14] theishi: maybe you can disable the intel one in the bios [16:14] is it possible to see the bios version from ubuntu ? [16:14] please someone. I think that this is very simple but i couldn't find the answers by searching on google. --How do i open an external disk as root (using xubuntu)? [16:14] access to bios [16:14] ranzi, sadly, it's not up to date and most of the lenses of the list are only for the previous version of Unity. The books one still works. [16:14] I have a clean 11.10 install using Unity 2D (seems there's a bug with my Intel card, so 2D for the time being). To look at any of the indicator icons in the upper right (date, log out, network-applet, etc) I need to click AND HOLD and then release on the item I want. Is there a way to get it so that a single click will open it and keep it open? Google hath failed me so far. [16:14] Hello everyone. [16:14] sure.... you can do that from the bios? [16:15] ah ok. big thanks. i've a look. with the version i've heard [16:15] if no one would help, can you tell me where t find help?? [16:15] if no one would help, can you tell me where t find help?? [16:15] i will reboot and take a look zagibu [16:15] theishi: wait [16:15] !patience | Odyy [16:15] Odyy: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [16:15] zagibu: ok [16:15] theishi: maybe you can find out in the Xorg logs, which device is used [16:15] Can anyone help me with changing permissions on a USB drive? [16:15] Does anyone know how to connect a NAS drive to ubuntu? [16:15] o [16:15] hi [16:15] willmc59: Just mount the presented share.

[16:16] Blueskaj I have ubuntu 10.04 installed on pc for a looooong time, now I'm trying to open my pc and it display the following error messages>> mount:mounting /dev/disk/by-uuid/blablabla on /root failed :invalid argument mount:mounting /dev on /root/dev failed:No such file or directory mount:mounting /sys on /root/sys failed:No such file or directory mount:mounting /proc on /root/proc failed:No such file or directory Target filesy [16:16] nelson8874: How do you 'open' it..? [16:16] willmc59: What do you mean by "netword"? [16:16] I've been having trouble with btrfs on my oneiric install. Per someone's recommendation in #btrfs, I was going to try installing an updated kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.2-rc1-oneiric/ Is there a particular order I should install the .debs in, and is there anything else I should do to prep the system before rebooting to try the rc kernel? [16:16] ok, so I removed gdm and installed lightdm, starts , nvidia driver loads but no greeting, no login window [16:16] CJKay both. I have a USB drive attached to a desktop I wish to be able to access via SAMBA on my laptop [16:17] odyy: Try `sudo cp -R /root /dev/root` [16:17] bjrohan: Then create a samba share on the desktop and mount it on your laptop. [16:17] tty7 is just two screens, blank/black. nothing. [16:17] CJKay: double click and then i just want to delete a folder, but i can't... [16:17] Accessing the drive on the netword.. [16:17] nelson8874: `gksudo nautilus` [16:17] hi guys, i know there is a file number limit inside a folder, is there a folder limit too? [16:17] bjrohan: What filesystem is the USB drive? [16:17] CJKay: What is the sence of copying native files to a device node? [16:18] CJKay NTFS [16:18] alex88: Depends on what filesystem are you using [16:18] bekks: Because sometimes that's all it needs [16:18] theishi: try looking in /var/log/Xorg.0.log for the intel or nvidia device [16:18] alex88: if you're running into those limits you're probably doing something wrong [16:18] looks interesting, the lenses [16:18] CJKay: I doubt that it actually works :D [16:18] How would I set something up so I could share a folder in ubuntu (ran in virtualbox) with my windows machine? [16:19] CJKay /bin/sh: sudo: not found [16:19] thanks david. have a nice day. im out [16:19] theishi: you can paste the Xorg log somewhere, I will take a look at it [16:19] I misstyped..I mean network.. [16:19] bjrohan: In that case I'm not sure. Try doing a search for NTFS-3G permission management [16:19] imbezol: need to store thousand of images inside folders [16:19] b0ot: Thats not an ubuntu problem - but a problem of "shared folders" as described very well in the documentation of virtualbox to be found at www.virtualbox.org [16:19] CJKay: i'm using glusterfs as shared fs [16:20] alex88: then they should be divided into subfolders based on some sort of indexing method [16:20] screen resolution is broken now. it keeps getting better. [16:20] alex88: putting everything in one folder is horrible for performance [16:20] alex88: 2^64 folders I think [16:20] exit [16:20] CJKay: it worked! thank you. But i want to learn. i want to know what that "did". Nautilus is the file manager, right? What does gksudo does? [16:20] quit [16:20] \quit [16:20] CJKay: kk i'll search more [16:20] oh, how do you do this... [16:20] CJKay the files system of the USB drive is NTFS. The/media directory has rwxrwxrwx for its permissions [16:20] alex88: Overall that is [16:20] !gksudo [16:20] I think [16:20] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [16:21] imbezol: it's just storage, we won't need to search into, just go to a folder directly [16:21] zagibu: does this tell you anything 16.273] (II) intel(0): Not using default mode "320x240" (doublescan mode not supported) [16:21] bjrohan: What is it you are prevented from doing? [16:21] alex88: you may not be searching it yourself, but the kernel needs to keep track of the directory contents to work on it [16:21] !gksudo | nelson8874 [16:21] nelson8874: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [16:22] zagibu: i can't find anything about nvideo so it seems pretty obvious which one is being used [16:22] imbezol: so maybe i'll create a folder per month and then put content into it [16:22] alex88: just as a very simple example, if your files contain only letters in the names, you could have letters a through z, then inside those a through z, and in those your files [16:22] alex88: yeah.. lots of ways to divide it based on what you're doing and how many files [16:22] I've got an amusing problem with which I could use some help: my keyboard generates extraneous keypress events for the ctrl modifier keys. I've looked at xev output to confirm this. I'm using a Microsoft wireless keyboard with a US layout. I've check the Universal Access setting and made sure that my keyboard mapping is as expected. setxkbmap doesn't fix the problem. [16:23] zagibu: maybe i should just uninstall it... [16:23] CJKay I am prevented from changing the permission of the USB drive. I have done sudo chmod 777 BACKUP, and the permissions for the BACKUP usb drive are still RWX------ [16:23] nelson8874: gksudo runs GUI applications as root [16:23] imbezol: true, well i'll check for a better solution [16:23] It's a GUI frontend for sudo [16:24] theishi: yeah, you can try to disable it in bios now [16:24] I've also run debsums, and it doesn't look like the keyboard maps have become corrupted. I'm wondering if my problem might be interference with the wireless. I haven't yet tried using another USB keyboard. [16:24] CJKay: OK. So i use gksudo and the name of any aplication... get it Thank you [16:24] bjrohan: Try `sudo chown BACKUP && sudo chmod -r 777 *` [16:24] CJKay I tried this cp -R /root /dev/root and results in nothing [16:24] nelson8874: Yep, no problem [16:24] odyy: Can you paste the error to pastebin so I don't lose it with the ever-scrolling IRC page? [16:25] I can't, the pc don't start the system it displays this error while booting, so I'm writing it in another pc now [16:26] CJKay [16:26] The problem is sporadic, and I haven't seen anything fix it consistently, so I'm leaning toward an interference problem. [16:26] after upgrade to 11.10 i am not able to log into my old account. creating a new account works. how to fix this ? [16:26] odyy: Well I'm not sure how I can help if I don't know the error heh [16:26] odyy: Then write the error down. :) [16:26] any mailserver easy to setup on ubuntu, please? [16:26] ram111: "I can't log into the account" is a little bit too broad [16:26] CJKAY what directory should I be in to do this? when I did it in /media where BACKUP is, I got the error cannot access 777: no such file or directory, changing permission of cdrom: operation not permitted [16:27] What's the best way to clone my drive [16:27] charged: There is none - even not on non-ubuntu- === SomeoneWeird is now known as SomeoneWeirdzzzz [16:27] b0ot: clonezilla? [16:27] I have a harddrive I want an exact copy of to experiment with [16:27] bekks: :( ok [16:27] without messing it up [16:27] may i take a picture for the screen and show it to you, CJKay ? [16:27] CJKay: well i get the lightdm login screen. when I enter my password. it just brings back to the login screen afer a flash of the screen ? will the errors be logged anywhere ? [16:28] b0ot: are the two drives identical? [16:28] how likely will a dd from a 160 gig drive to a 120 gig drive work... sif my 160 gig drive is using less than 120 gig [16:28] ram111: did you have a root password set? [16:28] zagibu: cool thanks [16:28] CJKay: nope. i use my login and then sudo from there [16:28] deej1976, no... they are both ssd's 160 gig and 120 gig [16:29] b0ot, you might consider cloning it with clonezilla. [16:29] last shot: anybody know why lightdm doesn't have a greeter? black windows don't inspire great confidence [16:29] CJKay: lightdm seems to be new . i am guessing some permission issues to be fixed with my old account which was tied to the older display manager ? [16:29] CJKAY even though I received that error message, ls -l shows that my username is the owner of BACKUP [16:29] b0ot: That puts dd out then [16:29] bjrohan: Woops heh. `cd /media && sudo chown -R BACKUP && sudo chmod -R 777 BACKUP` [16:29] imbezol: i dont have root password set [16:29] b0ot, you ned equal partiions in clonezilla though. [16:29] bjrohan: Then check permissions [16:29] imbezol: i always sudo to root [16:29] chmod 777 is bad [16:30] Chousuke: We can change to 755 when it works [16:30] also unce you chown to a username you don't need sudo to chmod [16:30] once* [16:30] anyone out there [16:30] CJKay: 755 is a better default anyway [16:30] urlin2u, what do you mean equl paritions? [16:30] deej1976, I have had a friend use dd on unequal size drives and he said it worked [16:31] was that luck? [16:31] ram111: Possibly, but not sure [16:31] may i take a picture for the screen and show it to you, CJKay ? [16:31] b0ot: if the partition size is the same it's fine [16:31] odyy: Of course [16:31] It should have updated fine [16:31] i'd assume [16:31] johnnychimpo: What's your problem? [16:31] b0ot, dd or clonezilla require that that both partitions are of the same size or larger [16:31] b0ot: Very possibly [16:31] CJKay: so how can i troubleshoot this ? [16:31] noob question, under my system says graphics driver unk and experience standard. Im using nvidia drivers though with dual monitors. any reason why it doesnt say nvidia in the system page? [16:31] if anybody from canonical is here, you just lost 100 desktops and 20 servers, 11.10 wasn't ready for release. it's awful. [16:32] CJKAY I entered the line you said to, the computer and specifically the USB drive BACKUP is still working away, something is going on :-) [16:32] b0ot, larger on the recieving end. [16:32] 11.10 [16:32] seems laggy at times [16:32] johnnychimpo: Whoch model is it? [16:32] odyy: What is the error when you try to login as the old account? [16:32] johnnychimpo: which* [16:32] i have no idea... [16:32] hmm [16:32] researcht ime [16:32] anyway to look that up on ubuntu? [16:33] some guru of "xdg(...)autostart" file? [16:33] bjrohan: Well what I gave you should have chown'd every file and directory on the stick to your name and then chmod'd each file to 777 to make sure [16:33] blink, they don't look on the irc, and how we to believe you anyway. [16:33] CJKay what old account? I'm logging with the same account all the time [16:33] bjrohan: So depending on how much is on there... heh [16:33] odyy: Sorry wrong person [16:33] johnnychimpo: Ok, well have you enabled the drivers in "Hardware Drivers" - (Press Win/Super-key and then write "Driver" choose the first program) [16:33] CJKay: did u by mistake ask odyy the questoin u wanted to ask me ? :D [16:34] ram111: Yeah heh [16:34] johnnychimpo: Sorry it's called "Additional Drivers" [16:34] there it is [16:34] when i try to install libavformat-extra-53, which replaces libavformat53, a few dozen important packages have to be removed (libx11, libstdc++6, libc6, ...) [16:34] gforce 8400 GS [16:34] anyone know why this is the case? [16:34] CJKay: i dont get any error. the screen shows the CGI and then goes back to lightdm login screen :( [16:34] blink: actually no one cares - neither canonical, nor others. you could buy enterprise support by canonical, so they would help you. [16:34] ram111: Log into the new account, open the terminal and run "su - " [16:34] johnnychimpo: Is it activated? [16:35] active and in use [16:35] it says active and in use [16:35] hey guys, my xorg is taking up a lot of my cpu, and the system is quite sluggish. Anyone have any fixes? [16:35] blink: I've I was looking after desktops and servers I'd stick to LTS releases [16:35] CJKay: i am able to do that. i did update my apt-get by going into that account and sudo from there [16:35] if* [16:35] blink: You'll get it over it. It works fine for me [16:35] but when i click on system settings / system info [16:35] its not displayed [16:35] ram111: That is very odd [16:35] CJKay: yeah very :( [16:36] CJKay it is a 500 GB HD :-) [16:36] johnnychimpo: Cool, well in my case my laptop has a GeForce graphics, but I've had to actually DISABLE my drivers to get the maximum out of my card ;) [16:36] bjrohan: Well then you could definitely be waiting some time :P [16:36] ram111: You could try `sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm` [16:36] huh [16:36] CJKay, it is finished, I did a ls -l and the permissions are still rwx------ :-( it shows me as the owner instead of root however [16:36] johnnychimpo: Oh.. well don't be afraid, mine says that too ;) [16:36] bjrohan: Lol wtf [16:36] ahh ok [16:36] CJKay: hmm will try that. what was the old DM ? [16:36] anyone? [16:37] some guru of "xdg(...)autostart" file? [16:37] CJKAY exactly [16:37] took forever to figure out how to get my dual monitors to work. ubuntu noob [16:37] bjrohan: Definitely an NTFS permissions problem then, you'll have to do a search for how NTFS-3G handles users and permissions [16:37] by the way is there an easy way to configure lightdm/X so that the system starts (always) in a portrait resolution and default to such a resolution for all users [16:37] ubuntu just seems much slower than w7 to me. [16:37] xorg is taking up to 30% of my cpu out of no where [16:37] ram111: The old DM? As in before 11.10? [16:37] johnnychimpo: Runs light years faster for me on my laptop and desktop [16:37] CJKay okey dokey. Thanks for your help! [16:37] No problemo [16:37] johnnychimpo: Even if Activate the card again, it doesn't say GForce. I think it's because we've got some pretty newish GPUs and they're not recognized by the system yet ;) [16:37] and if its not xorg, its compiz eating up nearly 40% at times [16:37] i've handled it with a .xprofile that does a xrandr -o left/right but that is per-user afaik [16:38] ahh [16:38] CJKay I do greatly appreciate it, at least I have a dierction to go in [16:38] my puter is only like a year old [16:38] its got 8 gb memory too [16:38] ccmonster, run htop or top and you will know what it is. [16:38] just w7 seems much faster at multi tasking. [16:38] johnnychimpo: Well, would you test something for me ? [16:38] ubuntu seems to bog down [16:38] johnnychimpo: The amount of memory doesn't make it run faster, it just stops it running slower [16:38] np [16:38] ahh [16:38] But it runs brilliantly for me [16:38] urlin2u, that's how i know that xorg /compiz is taking up so much cpu [16:39] Boots up in 10 seconds or so and applications load in seconds [16:39] ok what do you want me to test [16:39] johnnychimpo: Try `free` [16:39] johnnychimpo: ubuntu scales its speed to the user's intelligence... [16:39] johnnychimpo: Then paste that to pastebin.com or somewhere [16:39] CJKay: yeah in 10.x. besides --reconfigure is not an option in dpkg [16:40] no need to be fast when users can't follow [16:40] johnnychimpo: could you try to DISABLE the Gaphics Driver in your "Additional Drivers" tab, reboot, and then test, and tell if it makes any difference? [16:40] lost like last years easter eggs [16:40] johnnychimpo: It truely does for me.

[16:42] johnnychimpo: Uff.. maybe you're not that familiar with IRC yet, but you should make a habbit of pasting suck outputs into sites like - pastebinit.com - or the like. [16:42] Tulitomaatti: USeless use of cat. [16:42] johnnychimpo: Ubuntu itself is only using 400MB RAM there. Are you using integrated graphics or separate? [16:42] hello [16:42] Tulitomaatti: useless use of cat :D [16:42] seperate [16:43] johnnychimpo: Have you made sure you have installed the correct drivers? [16:43] johnnychimpo: imagine everyone pasting their code and .conf files into here, it would be a mess ;) [16:43] might work still, and i'm not fluent enough to come up with a better way [16:43] yeah, i have no idea [16:43] AdvoWork: you can use find to find them and use it's -exec ; option to do wc -l for each file [16:43] sorry about that [16:43] Tulitomaatti, AdvoWork: wc -l file1 file2 ...

[16:44] much easier [16:44] i've never read the manpage or --help either :P [16:45] jstoone: I have to disable my graphics card to get anything out of anything! [16:45] zaggynl, jrgp even if in multiple directories inside a dir i specify? [16:45] unkr: There is no "the best". There is just plenty of software fitting your needs more or less good.

[16:48] johnnychimpo: Yupp. [16:49] all right then === arosales is now known as a_rosales [16:49] johnnychimpo: Ubuntu should have an installation candidate for nVidia GLX but I can't seem to grab it at the moment [16:49] bekks no changes, actually this happened along time ago, and i ignored it as i wasn't using that computer for a while, but i think the last time I was shutting it down I unplugged the power cable directly [16:49] when i try to install wine, aptitude says it needs to remove 88 packages, including flashplugin-installer, libc6, libgcc1, libstdc++6, zlibg1... [16:49] Not sure if it's been superseded [16:49] CJKay you saw the picture?? [16:49] odyy: Then write down that uuid displayed, grab a livecd, boot from it and check all filesystems, and check wether that uuid actually exists. [16:49] bekks: i cann't find that in the features thats why i m asking here ?? [16:50] odyy: What's the problem? [16:50] odyy: Yes, sorry, hold on [16:50] unkr: You can connect to presentation using teamviewr. thats one of their key features. It doesnt matter how many clients connect to the presentation. [16:51] jstoone while openning this happen http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/64/p0911111830.jpg/ [16:51] Hello folks. Does Ubuntu have any sort of equivalent software to Siri (the speech recognition/personal assistant program)? [16:51] odyy: Did you read what I wrote to you? [16:51] bekks: i know that but what i want is different just let me explain to u [16:51] zagibu: I am not exactly sure how do disable the driver via bios... only setting in bios i could find was realated to optimus (some setting Windows uses to enhance graphics)... i did manage to uninstall the driver, but that caused the nvidia one to disapear to any severely downgraded the appearance [16:51] bekks I don't understand what you mean, sorry, may you explain :) [16:51] odyy: Right. You've got that /dev/root problem, yep? === a_rosales is now known as arosales_ [16:51] odyy: Which part exactly is unclear to you? [16:51] zagibu: *only related setting i could find was about optimus [16:51] CJKay yes === Guest40143 is now known as BarkingFish [16:52] bekks you mean I write the code after /uuid to the prompt and hit enter ?? [16:52] No. [16:53] AdvoWork: highlight revenge! [16:53] bekks: when i connect to the remote system (window) through ubuntu i want that the user inside remote system will also able to do work as well me . but what ever i do doesnot shows up on the windows (multiple desktop) [16:53] odyy: Try rebooting and when GRUB appears, press 'e' over Ubuntu [16:53] Then report back === arosales_ is now known as _arosales [16:53] odyy: I mean you grab a pen and some paper and write down thaat UUID displayed. Then grab a livecd, and boot it, to check your filesystems and to check wether thet UUID actually exists on your computer. [16:53] bekks: any solution for this if yes then how ?? [16:54] Anyone have experience with dual boot an Win 7? I am inclined to remove Win 7 and use ubuntu and win XP-32bit. I think there are some issues with the install program recognizing hard disk geometry that supports dual boot. Win 7 doesn't seem to want to share the disk with anyone else. I found a couple of posting on the net about this, so I know it isn't me. I didn't have this problem with [16:54] Win XP, but XP still has to be installed last. What folders should I be setting up? Previously I just used the /, and swap. Do I need the whole thing? [16:54] unkr: Thats a windows problem - not a Ubuntu one ;) === _arosales is now known as arosales [16:54] theishi: too bad...it seems you have to tell X directly to use the nvidia card and ignore the intel card...however, I have no idea how to do that [16:54] bekks I tried to check the filesystem from a live cd, but the filesystem doesn't open from a live cd, it tells me that I have no permission [16:54] bekks: whether it is possible what i m trying to do ?? [16:54] CJKay ok, wait a sec [16:55] hello all, I have updated my Ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10 and now I have some problems whit my microphone , it provide bad sound any ideas how can I fix it up? [16:55] unkr: It is possible, with all protocols except RDP :) [16:55] theishi: maybe you should ask here how to specify which device to use, when you have two GPUs [16:55] bekks: i dont know about protocols what r they? [16:56] zagibu: i do not have an xorg.conf file that I can find [16:56] hi [16:56] theishi: yeah it all changed some years ago [16:57] So. I was wondering. quite a few people I know are avoiding ubuntu 11.10 and the elimination of a normal WM... [16:57] Firefox 8 just came out that allows nifty webgl CORS stuff [16:57] will it get pushed to Ubuntu 11.04? [16:57] nemo: You get used to Unity, promise [16:57] theishi: before you bother with X conf directly, might try to make sure there is no GUI way [16:57] anyone familiar with the Full Disk Encryption included on the alt iso? I assume since it's accesible that it's on an unencrypted partition.. Does anyone know where the 'splash' image resides? :) Thanks!!! :) <3 [16:57] CJKay: "when GRUB appears"?, nothing appears before this message, it appears directly [16:57] CJKay: lol. Not talking about myself. I switched to XFCE4 [16:57] CJKay: others. family members, my mom... [16:57] Ah [16:58] people who I've tried unity and gnome-shell on, and they find it hopelessly confusing and nothing like what they are used to [16:58] unkr: Things like RDP, VNC, etc. [16:58] In that case I can probably see why you'd be worried heh [16:58] my mom is in her late 50s, she has no desire to learn a new UI [16:58] zagibu: ok.... this windows manager took away my menu bar and as a result i have to do everything via terminal :-( [16:58] she loves ubuntu, but not drastic UI changes [16:58] theishi: is there something you can do in system settings -> display maybe? [16:58] oh [16:58] although she did customise her gnome2 a lot (applets, colours, even a compact menu layout) [16:58] odyy: Right, well that's a little bit more difficult then [16:58] Shame Gnome3 isn't Gnome2 [16:58] CJKay: aaaanyway, FF8 on Ubuntu 11.04 - will happen? [16:58] zagibu: i found gnome-control-center command, so i can do that, let me look [16:59] nemo: I don't see why not. Ubuntu 11.04 has a while to go before it becomes unsupported [16:59] But that's just speculation [16:59] 'k. guess it'll just take a day or two [16:59] odyy: Gimme a minute [16:59] CJKay: I wanna show her the awesome nokia 3d world [17:00] zagibu: I just opened up gnome-screen-saver... this is generating the screensaver fine [17:00] bekks: i think they are products but they do a same pattern to connect to each other is that may be called as protocol ?? [17:00] odyy: Are you using a separate root partition? [17:00] CJKay, take your time dude [17:00] unkr: That arent products but protocols for desktop sharing. [17:00] theishi: and glxgears? [17:00] :wq [17:00] damnit [17:01] you mean a separate partition for the system? yes [17:01] theishi: I have to go now...hope you manage to get it working [17:01] zagibu: no that still doesn't work [17:02] zagibu: cool thanks for all the help [17:02] bekks: okk i dont know about that thnxx [17:02] odyy: Well it would appear either the partition UUID has magically changed, or it's gone wrong for some reason [17:02] odyy: Boot into Busybox if you aren't already [17:03] OK now I can't use Ubuntu at all screen is scrambled [17:03] can't see anything [17:03] johnnychimp26: After doing what I put on pastebin? [17:03] I'm on my phone [17:04] I just disabled the driver [17:04] now I can't even log in [17:04] or se the log in page [17:04] how to boot int0 BusyBox ?? CJKay [17:04] is there a recover or safe mode on start up [17:04] Can someone help me with my ubuntu installation? [17:04] odyy: Just boot into Ubuntu normally. It will load Busybox if it fails [17:05] Zild_: Just ask... [17:05] Ubuntu crashed on installation, and I have no idea why. I installed all of the required directories typically found in Linux/Unix, and I used less than 200gb of a 750gb hd. I am now at a purple screen that appears to be cycling, and I have no desktop. What should I do? [17:05] I have it installed it properly, but it never boots [17:05] CJKay: As you can see on the screenshot, it isnt boting at all. [17:05] johnnychimp26: Are you using GRUB? [17:05] bekks: Yes it is [17:05] no idea what that is [17:05] It's loading initramfs [17:05] okee: well. it miiiight be doing an fsck right now [17:05] Which is what you need to recover [17:05] okee: you could leave it alone for a while [17:05] LVM on Ubuntu, is the 'splash' image presented on boot 'changeable'? [17:05] okee so it crashed at 200G? thats not that bad [17:05] okee: but, if you want more information you could edit the boot entry so it does a full dump of what it is doing [17:05] okee: instead of the normal loader [17:06] i'm loading normally each time and that is what i get each time, CJKay [17:06] okee: from the grub boot menu [17:06] can I repair or something [17:06] odyy: Does it say "(initramfs) _"? [17:06] it isn't using a video driver or something [17:06] johnnychimp26: Do you still have the LiveCD? [17:06] okee: probably as simple as deleting the last couple of entries (splash and whatnot) and then booting [17:06] does Ubuntu 11.10 supports Nvidia Optimus technology? I'm thinking to get new laptop with Nvidia Geforce GT 555M graphics card [17:06] mine stops where all the services are starting [17:06] wtf is that [17:06] okee: (after choosing the boot line) [17:07] johnnychimp26: The install CD [17:07] HMm. There is no icons on the desktop. There prompt running in circles for the last ten minutes. I am wondering if it is seized? I do have the upper menu bar, so I can shut down if necessary. How long should I let this laptop torture itself? [17:07] CJKay yes dude, check the picture http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/64/p0911111830.jpg/ [17:07] strix_: No, don't do it! lol [17:07] never used that dual w7 boot [17:07] Zild_: Which Ubuntu version do you use? [17:07] its 11.10 [17:07] 32bit [17:08] okee: oh. you managed to boot? [17:08] I have decided not to use Win 7. I have read enough online about problems with dual boot, to where I think MS intentionally tried to prevent people from using both. I am going to use Ubuntu and Win XP dual boot instead. [17:08] I am using Version 11.10 === Guest79210 is now known as blitzkrieg3 [17:08] bekks: its 11.10 32bit [17:08] okee: I am currently dual booting win7 and ubuntu with no problems at all [17:08] CJKay: no support for Optimus or else? [17:09] okee: W7 dualboot works fine here. Looks like MS isnt preventing me from using it ;) [17:09] I'm screwed right [17:09] fhtagn> How did you do it? Did you install all of the folder options that Linux normally can use during the install? What sequence did you use? [17:09] strix_: 'Fraid not [17:09] fhtgan> Did you install Ubuntu first? [17:09] strix_: nVidia refuse to support it on Linux [17:09] odyy: `cd /dev/disk` [17:09] CJKay yes dude, check the picture http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/64/p0911111830.jpg/ [17:10] oh well [17:10] uninstall then [17:11] CJKay it gives me (initramfs) again [17:11] johnnychimp26: Download the Ubuntu 11.10 LiveCD and you should be able to run that [17:11] odyy: `ls -a` [17:11] CJKay: what about Radeon HD 6490, is it supported? [17:11] strix_: I no little to nothing about AMD cards. Sorry [17:12] anyone? [17:12] fhtagn> Didyouinstall Ubuntufirst??? [17:12] CJKay: ok, thanks [17:12] CJKay : by-path by-id bu-uuid .. . [17:12] odyy: `cd by-path` [17:12] okee: soz, wandered off. Installed windows first =/ [17:13] i need initramfs-related help plz. :| someone :|\ [17:13] odyy: Then `ls -a` [17:13] great thanks for suggestion [17:13] okee: it will be easy & safe to install windows first [17:13] Did you install Ubuntu from the hard disk at bootup, after installing windows first? [17:13] CJKay : by-path by-id bu-uuid .. . ,, that is the result of ls -a [17:13] odyy: No, `cd by-path && ls -a` [17:13] OK. I am wondering because with Win XP you must install Linux and other OS first. So I guess it is different with Win 7. [17:14] okee: GRUB is for multibooting. Always install Linux last [17:14] okee: yes. Installed windows, then booted from usb(with ubuntu there) and installed it on another partition [17:14] Ubuntu's menu loader is a bit primitive and doesn't give you enough options for folders. [17:14] okee: I guess you mixed something up there.. with XP too you should install Windows first [17:14] Ubuntu auto-installs GRUB which can detect the Windows bootloader. Windows will just decimate everything and then you can only boot that === jthomas_ is now known as TheDracle [17:14] a little help would be awesome from someone.... [17:15] Zild_: It's easier when we know what the problem is [17:15] CJKay: what to do if it shows NTLDR or grub missing in both cases ?? [17:15] okee: folders? [17:15] okee: I don't think this ever gave me any problems https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot#Install_Ubuntu_after_Windows [17:15] Not true. If you install XP first, win won't boot. I have a lot of experience with this. Windows overides the boot loader in Win XP. [17:15] I've been asking for help for like 20 minnutes. :\ my problem is not well documented... [17:15] I've been telling the problem CJKay [17:16] okee: then you have an odd machine or you did something wrong [17:16] Zild_: No one picked up huh? Okay, what's the problem? [17:16] Zild_: this channel goes fast, please repeat your question, in one line [17:16] it results in many lines of the form: pci-0000:00:1f.1-scsi-0:0:1:0, the lines differs [17:16] CJKay [17:16] unkr: You're scrwed [17:17] does anyone knows how to make dual boot system back to single bootable ?? [17:17] CJKay: MonkeyDusy: I just installed 11.10 32bit, installed fine, won't boot. hangs indefinitely when the services are starting [17:17] it results in many lines of the form: pci-0000:00:1f.1-scsi-0:0:1:0, the lines differs, CJKay [17:17] odyy: Okay. `cd ../by-uuid && ls ./c5a*" [17:17] CJKay: doesnot have any solution ? i have to do a complete format again :( ?? [17:17] I got in busy box now what [17:18] unkr: If GRUB is dead -and- Windows is dead, your only hope is an install CD but if you can't get that, you're completely off chart [17:18] LiveCD* [17:19] yes [17:19] I had a copy of Ubuntu studio [17:19] CJKay it resuts in aprompt ">" [17:19] CJKay: i have seen livecd like hirenbootcd in which it shows fixmbr or bootsector fix but never solved my problem . have u tried that ?? [17:19] rescue a bkn system [17:20] install ubuntu [17:20] odyy: You didn't type it write then. Press enter and make sure you copy exactly: cd /dev/disk/by-uuid && ls ./c5a* === Joelio__ is now known as joelm [17:20] right* [17:20] unkr: No, sorry [17:20] Any ideas CJKay? [17:21] CJKay: no prob [17:21] unkr: fixmbr and bootsector should both sort out your problem, so why they aren't I don't know [17:21] any reasons why power manager appears t login?? [17:21] Zild_: Do you have GRUB installed? [17:21] yep [17:21] running recovery [17:21] CJKay: I would suppose [17:22] Dec to use as root file? [17:22] CJkay: actually i m making the problem to make system unbootable & then try to fix that grub or NTLDR prob but doest work for me [17:22] device [17:22] my system is fine === OerHeks is now known as Oer [17:22] i have issues with my power and my monitor [17:23] Zild_: Well when you restart, do you get a menu that asks your what you want to boot? [17:23] it changes all the timw [17:23] y [17:23] CJKay: that it works for you is no indication of how much time I will have to waste, and has been wasted, just getting my own desktop up. debian stable = 15 minutes of diff'ing config, all services up. can't argue that. [17:23] ubuntu 11.04 here: remote desktop asks the local screen for a password before allowing me access.. how can I stop that? I think it may be the keyring because it's not an option in the RDesktop preferences gui menu [17:24] CJKay it gives me : ./c5ae4e54-e267-4fc5-9ce8-09528c92b204 [17:24] It goes straight to a purple screen CJKay [17:24] <-- may have found my answer http://maketecheasier.com/auto-unlock-keyring-manager-in-ubuntu-intrepid/2009/03/14 [17:24] I have no gui, and it takes 5 minutes to boot the system, with errors about network and dbus. /var/log/messages doesn't exist. why bother [17:24] How do I kill the process tree of one applicatin from terminal? Thunderbird is giving me a message saying that "thunderbird is already open" [17:25] blink: Works pretty well for everything I've installed it on [17:25] Make sure you have the right drivers and you should be fine [17:25] mang0 killall thunderbird [17:25] OK I got a shell now what [17:25] odyy: Now that's definitely weird [17:25] CJKay: I said that nvidia drivers work fine [17:25] I have no window manager [17:25] CJKay so?? [17:25] no login [17:25] Skummel: Thanks. :) [17:26] can I install driver from shell [17:26] yw [17:26] or go back [17:26] and eth0 fails to come up at boot, but works (after a 1min delay) after being brought up by hand after [17:26] Okay too many people asking for support [17:26] hi [17:26] i soliti idioti - film [17:26] * agentcobra is back (gone 11:37:37) [17:26] Anyone wanna lend a hand? lol [17:27] You need some help CJKay [17:27] blink: I probably already asked, but do you know if you have GRUB? [17:27] I'm not asking for support for anything other than gdm/lightdm, window manager/login. [17:27] grub's not a problem. [17:27] CJKay, i think I have the grub problem [17:27] blink: No, it's a solution [17:27] trying to fix after suggestion [17:27] how do I boot into recovery mode? do I press something when the keyboard = man logo appears or? [17:27] not for me I guess. [17:27] Zild_: So what, you just boot into a purple screen? [17:28] not purple. I boot, i see the console messages, errors, then I hit the nvidia driver, and then a black screen on both monitors [17:28] how to do you make ubuntu stop changing the screen resolution?? [17:28] no cursor, no login [17:29] odyy: I'm gonna give you a link with some commands you need to carry out, make sure you type them exactly [17:29] this is coming from somebody who's done a freebsd box using startx and xinit with openbox. I'm saying this doesn't work, configured as per the spec [17:29] Hi [17:30] odyy: Actually they can be done separately. Do `fdisk -l` and pastebin it if you can [17:30] CJKay, and after that it goes black to a screen with starting and stopping stuff [17:30] I'v a question about the BIOS password. [17:30] ask it === soreau_ is now known as soreau [17:31] blink: Have you got a Live CD at all that you can boot into? [17:31] CJKay where is the link dude? I have to go for minutes [17:31] not ubuntu, gentoo and debian yes.

[17:39] hi, anyone knows a good lincity-ng tutorial? I have found one in the web, it seems that it is the official tutorial, but, it is far from complete [17:39] I know lincity-ng is not ubuntu, but, I play the game in ubuntu [17:40] so gdm installed, and the file exists as a socket: ** (gdm-binary:4009): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to system bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: Connection refused [17:40] orated: "id" tells you your actual uid, "ls -n /old/home/you" your old uid [17:40] orated: login meaning the login name of the user [17:40] orated: even: numerical ownership [17:40] spartak: if google doesn't find you one, perhaps you should write a new one [17:40] james:x:1000:1000:James:/home/james:/bin/bash [17:40] orated: "getent passwd " instead of uuoc [17:41] Gnea, well, basically that is not the solution, but thanks [17:41] my uid is 1000, if it was 1001 on the previous install, I won't be able to use my homedir without the previously mentioned chown [17:41] Ubuntu Unity Users: I seem to have lost the nice looking grey bar that goes on the top of the screen.. now it's ugly like w$ndows classic or something, it affected the login gui also.

That way you can always ignore them if you're busy without worrying, making them less of a distraction. That's the theory at least. [18:33] jtr: Thank you.

[18:37] jtr: I don't think you understand. It looked like a stop gdm, start gdm. I had to login again. Going to f7 just shows some commands it took before it restarted. [18:37] Taymon: yes, I was looking at the issue, is this a 64-bit install? there is only a i386 mit-scheme package and this doesn't seem to be installable because various deps are breaking other packages [18:37] Which tool should I use to strip all metadata from images? (primarily jpeg) [18:37] bobweaver, interesting.. I lost the color scheme on my unity toolbar, now its just solid grey [18:37] jtr: I was using xournal, btw [18:37] sln45: tell me the name of the application, or atleast the directory where you were gonna save the work [18:38] hc96: whichever you like [18:38] hc96, :daemon is ok i thinlk [18:38] jtr: Er, the desktop [18:38] sln45: u can look for a .swp file in the directory, that should have a copy [18:38] sln45: go to terminal , cd ~/Desktop [18:38] sln45: ls -la [18:38] greg3000: umm.. also when I am on quassel and I select to go to a different room it pops the terminal up O_o [18:38] Yes, it's 64-bit. So I won't be able install it from the repository? [18:38] w3bg33k: can you pastebin the error and your /etc/apt/sources.lst ? [18:39] sln45: do you see any .swp extension file? [18:39] bobweaver: that's certainly peculiar behavior! [18:39] greg3000: I know right [18:39] jtr: No, because the desktop is not where it saves to by default. I'm rooting around. [18:40] greg3000: happened with me also, exactly the same problem, bobweaver - on maximizing the sidebar does not autohide ? [18:40] sln45: so check the default location [18:40] sln45: or the /tmp folder [18:40] jtr: I did. Nothing. Is .swp a prefix or an extension? [18:40] jtr__: No I have to min the windows to even get to the side bar [18:40] jtr: Going to tmp [18:41] io === ubuntu is now known as Belxjander [18:41] can some ubuntu 11.10 user with an modern nvidia card tell me if they have a file called libvpdau_nvidia.so in /usr/lib somewhere [18:41] sln45: tmp contains a lot of things, tell me wht you were using to write notes [18:41] jtr__: so it auto hides forever untill I min the window that is maxed [18:42] jtr: tmp is a mess. It wouldn't be in one of these subfolders, would it? And as I said, I was using xournal. [18:42] bobweaver: i see, the sidebar has had issues from the very start [18:42] jtr: None of the tmp folders refer to xournal btw [18:42] sln45: did you check the default location first? [18:43] jtr: Yes. As I said earlier, yes. [18:43] which is the best command line program to use for appending multiple text files into one? or actually.... I'd rather not actually create a new text file but just join them all together for that action , input one after the next.... is there a good program for this?

We have a VM which was running ubuntu-10.04. Then my friend ran a "do-release-upgrade", so it started upgrading to 10.10. By the end of the upgrade he chose to install GRUB. After the upgrade he chose to reboot the server [18:48] nemo, I have 10.04 server with no desktop enviornment [18:48] sln45: did you find the file? [18:48] b0ot: you can install XFCE4, which has a lot of the same functionality, but doesn't do quite as well w/ fanciness like gnome's magic vfs, and desktop is a bit clunkier [18:48] b0ot: oh. I assumed you were on 11.10 [18:48] JetBoyJetGirl: back up [18:48] now it won't boot. It stays on the 'grub>' message [18:48] 1st JetBoyJetGirl [18:49] jtr: Patience, the process isn't done. [18:49] b0ot: there's a gnome meta package I believe [18:49] we already tried rescuing the server using the install disk and reinstalling grub, to no avail [18:49] any tips? [18:49] b0ot: have you checked in synaptic? [18:49] sln45: is the 'process' manual :P ? then i need a lot of patience [18:49] I have no gui [18:49] how would i check [18:50] jtr: Jesus, no. I have a slow processor, give me a break. [18:50] b0ot: xfce is almost the same as gnome2, and is still supported, gnome2 ( which i think is what you are asking for ) is no longer a good desktop env to have , no support [18:50] yeah bob, but i was saying I didn't want a new text file, i just wanted them to be output all together perhaps to be piped into another program/command [18:51] b0ot: jtr is full of it, gnome 2 is great. [18:51] sln45: i mean , i have many swap files but locate doesn't search for hidden files ( or i dont know if it does using some flag ) [18:51] riffautae - hrm, i just assumed it was fine, but looks like it might be hosed...going to give it a try... [18:51] b0ot: Better than gnome 3 [18:51] JetBoyJetGirl: how many files ? [18:52] JetBoyJetGirl: give or take [18:52] sln45: agreed, i just mean with xfce he will have a better supported desktop environment [18:52] jtr: Well, let's just see. If I know what I'm looking for, than that's all I need. I can go and google other methods. [18:52] b0ot: I figured you had some other ubuntu system handy :-p [18:52] jtr: Turned up nothing [18:52] b0ot: anyway, sudo apt-get install gnome [18:52] looks like it'll do the trick === Wicet|2 is now known as Wicet [18:52] Hello is there someone that knows about how to change the resolution . I can't get support for a akai 42 lcd screen [18:53] sln45: tell me when you find a method to search through hidden files [18:53] Kenjiro: http://extremesarcasm.org/wp/2011/11/fix-grub-boot-issues-with-rescatux/ [18:53] jtr: And xfce is nice, cute, fast. But honestly I like the customizability of gnome 2 [18:53] jtr__: in terminal ls -al [18:53] sln45: exactly my point - would give no output, doesn't search hidden files - when i said manually it wasn't abt your processor [18:53] Kenjiro: worth checking out.. i had a system doing the same thing the other day and rescatux fixed it [18:53] jtr: I've got class, don't have time [18:53] bobweaver: searching the entire filesystem under '/' [18:53] jtr__: ohh [18:53] jtr: I was using nautilus with "see hidden files" shown [18:54] bobweaver: not just viewing the contents of the dir :P [18:54] jtr: usually works, but I will try something else later. [18:54] Given I have ubuntu 10.04.3 lts just with no desktop enviornment is there no way to install gnome 2? [18:54] jtr__: is there a key word that you are looking for ?> [18:54] Richie086: ouch, I already did a magic here [18:54] Kenjiro: a magic? [18:54] I booted the server with the install disk again [18:55] Kenjiro: and it worked? [18:55] riffautae - it looks like the dns is not working [18:55] again I chose the Rescue option, let it mount the filesystem. Then I noticed there was nothing inside '/boot' [18:55] Kenjiro: hmmm [18:55] then I told it to mount the partition, THEN I ran 'grub-install /dev/sda' again [18:55] bobweaver: a file of the type *.*.swp basically all swap files [18:55] and then it worked ;) [18:55] w3bg33k: does /etc/resolve.conf have things that look reasonable in it? === jsurfer_ is now known as jsurfer [18:55] jtr: Do you know if there's a way listed in man tops to view that other sessions's processes? [18:55] Richie086: magic always work with IT ;) [18:56] Richie086: thanks anyway [18:56] ok I don't see my eth0 device even though I have it plugged in [18:56] Kenjiro: ah gotcha.. yeah same thing happened to be yesterday [18:56] I need to get online before I can download the de anyway [18:56] sln45: no [18:56] riffautae: nix that...we changed DNS servers, and I was too slow on the adaptation [18:56] w3bg33k: :3 [18:57] sln45: see man find [18:57] jtr__: is there a key word inside of the .swp files that you are looking for ? [18:57] jtr: I just wanted to check if that instance was even still running [18:57] bobweaver: no, he( sln45 ) was using xournal to make notes and the session restarted [18:57] My Ubuntu Oneiric do not halt if I put "sudo halt" at terminal. The "ubuntu ..." screen continues stopped.... [18:58] bad for SSH [18:58] bobweaver: looking for the swap file ( if any ) which could still have his useful data [18:58] bobweaver: so maybe it will be some_name.xor.swp [18:58] bobweaver: Got any suggestions for me? [18:59] sln45: is it supposed to be like name.xor.swp ? [18:59] sln45: tried man find ? [18:59] jtr: I thought you knew! [18:59] sln45: if running try this sudo ps aux | awk '/name/ {print $2} ' this will give you the pid # of the prosses running [18:59] jtr: also xournal's default extension is xoj [19:00] sln45: replace name with the program you are looking for [19:00] bobweaver: thank you, will try [19:00] I forgot this info about the halt problem: KDE do not show the "halt" option too.... [19:01] sln45: if nothing works, i have a program that can search file by its content ( again it is directory specific and i am not sure if it searches hidden files ), if you remember what you typed in those notes, lookup ack-grep [19:01] jtr: thank you [19:01] Does anhone have any ideas as to why my mouse pointer is a blurry block? [19:02] ok, dumb question, where is the wallpaper folder and how can i get programs to open on my primary #1 display and not the #2 that they seem to keep opening on? === james is now known as Guest88765 [19:02] NOSaturn: /usr/share/backgrounds ?? [19:02] bobweaver: correct :D [19:02] NOSaturn: or kde /usr/share/wallpapers [19:02] after the upgrade to oneiric, my tomboy doesn't sync anymore. Running from the terminal, I get the error: "A note with this title already exists: New Note Template". I tried deleting the new note template, but it didn't change anything. How can I fix this? [19:03] bobweaver, oh yeah..... thast the folder [19:03] NOSaturn: :>) [19:03] now, about getting programs to open on the correct display.......... [19:04] in unity [19:04] gnome works great for dual monitor === Tag is now known as Jacen [19:04] NOSaturn: Unity is gross, I would get rid of it [19:05] elz89: sucky gfx card/driver? tested in a non-composited WM yet? [19:05] I got "used" to Unity. Its... different. [19:05] NOSaturn: what do you mean by "getting programs to open on the correct display." [19:05] any know problems with empathy/telepathy + MSN ? [19:05] I mean, it's way better than gnome3 but it still has the usability of a mac. [19:05] hi all [19:06] GUIs like that belong on small devices [19:06] sln45: u hate gnome3 so much :P [19:06] when i open (say settings for example) it opens on display 2, which is my right most monitor [19:06] I got used to Gnome3 although it stil is in beta stage imho [19:06] sln45: i agree about the small devices part though [19:06] sln45: gnome-panel? XFCE4? [19:06] NOSaturn: ohh you have two monitors [19:06] jtr__: I do, I do [19:06] yes [19:06] NOSaturn: what is vga ? [19:06] nemo: What are you asking? [19:07] I wanted to know if it is normal that when there are some updates for Ubuntu 11.10, the user does not need to supply the root password ? [19:07] nemo: probs, and no, what would I do? Do you mean something like xfce or lxde? [19:07] NOSaturn: lspci -nn | grep VGA [19:07] sln45: alternatives to gnome-shell and unity which you dislike [19:07] elz89: or gnome2 + metacity [19:07] nemo: haha [19:07] Alright, I resolved my network issues... how do ig et gnome2 [19:07] nemo: All those x ones are clean, fast, and I appreciate that [19:08] someone help b0ot getting gnome2 up and running [19:08] jtr__: um. sudo apt-get install gnome wasn't enough? [19:08] nemo: Unity is too simple for a complex device and takes more power to run, so it's kind of stupid [19:08] nemo: I saw one the other day starting with 'w' [19:08] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0126] (rev 09) [19:08] * bobweaver loves the way that ubuntu is moving forward and see the differene between 11.04 and 11.10 in unity cant wait to see 12.04 ! [19:09] NOSaturn: cool you are using the mirror option under display ?> [19:09] nemo, is that unity or gnome2 for 10.04? [19:09] no [19:09] i hate unity [19:09] so much [19:09] b0ot: gnome2 if you're on 10.04 [19:09] b0ot, you have good tastes. [19:09] Unity is quiet good [19:09] nemo: :thumbs up: [19:09] b0ot: is just a meta package. I suggested you try it earlier, you could read what it asks to install... [19:09] b0ot: that was an hour ago :-p [19:09] the problem with unity is the integration with other session desktop [19:10] hiho [19:10] I would not mind unity if it were small and fast. It can't run on my netbook, even though that should be its target demographic === julian__ is now known as jortex696 [19:10] nemo: FYI just seen 'mutter' [19:10] nemo: give him the command again, afterall its just - sudo apt-get install gnome [19:10] b0ot: description in synaptic (I don't get why you don't have an ubuntu desktop somewhere already to check in) is "The GNOME Desktop Environment, with extra components" === jortex696 is now known as JRamirez696 [19:10] b0ot: "This package depends on the standard distribution of the GNOME desktop environment" which I guess would be gnome2 in 10.04 [19:11] nemo: he has no desktop env , and using a ubuntu server , as far as i remember [19:11] jtr__: he said that, yes. [19:11] jtr__: puzzled me why that was the case. [19:11] How, with 11.10, can we get again gnome 2 like in 11.04 ? [19:11] jtr__: guess he uses Windows on his actual desktop, and has no ubuntu live CD [19:11] failed... broken packages [19:11] !nounity | Randolph [19:11] Randolph: 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 [19:11] gnome: Depends swfdec-mozilla [19:11] b0ot: could not find some packages? [19:11] b0ot: ah. you might have to enable some of the standard repos [19:11] b0ot: in /etc/apt [19:12] then update [19:12] nemo, what file in /etc/apt? [19:12] ubottu, yes, I have already done this but it is not enought there is too much to do to get again the real gnome 2 [19:12] Randolph: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:13] my sound is fucked [19:13] b0ot: sources.list i think [19:13] how can I reinstall it [19:13] b0ot: etc = config files apt is the package manager for ubuntu [19:13] Becky_: W-what? [19:13] no sound :( [19:13] how2reinstall [19:13] ubottu, sorry dude [19:13] h [19:13] bobweaver, but /etc/apt = a directory not a file [19:13] bobweaver, im not making any sense am i? :) [19:13] Randolph: ubottu is a bot ! === james_ is now known as blitzkrieg3 [19:13] Becky: Well, you don't really reinstall. How about you install pavucontrol and mess with it? [19:13] anyone aware of a offline translation dictionary tool? [19:14] b0ot: did you install this ubuntu server? :) [19:14] sln45: I already have it [19:14] I'll play about [19:14] jtr__, it was joke my last sentence [19:14] b0ot: apt is the dir for the config files of well apt [19:14] b0ot: I'd suggest sticking w/ full desktop if you're not too familiar w/ commandline and debian in future ;) [19:14] Randolph: i see , apologies, :D [19:14] sln45: lol thanks [19:14] hidden fucking mute [19:14] Becky_ fiddle witht the controls a bit ubuntu default sound is pretty reliable [19:14] !language | Becky_ [19:14] Becky_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [19:14] Randolph: you can do a !thanks to the bot :>) [19:15] Becky_: Remember to click the green check to save any settings [19:15] yeah I messed about with alsamixer [19:15] but it didn't help [19:15] kk [19:15] tx <3 [19:15] nemo: he sounded like a network admin who wanted to try out a desktop env :P [19:15] nemo, it appears that the sources.list file is the default... could something be preventing it from looking at the file? [19:15] Becky_: I think Ubuntu has been using pulse for a while [19:15] bobweaver, oki doki i will think about it next time [19:15] yeah [19:15] Becky_: so that would make sense [19:16] Becky_: I'm no expert though. But I'm glad to help how i can [19:16] yeah, it's much appreciated [19:16] b0ot: try cat /etc/apt/sources.list [19:16] Becky_: try pulseaudio --kill and then alsamixer reload and then check sound [19:16] bobweaver, I was looking at that file [19:16] Becky_: For sure. Are you actually female? [19:16] b0ot: I just suspect you don't have entries like the ones I messaged you, enabled [19:16] deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main restricted [19:16] sln45: haha , what a question :P [19:17] sln45: That my friend is irrelavent... [19:17] b0ot: you can now edit it with : gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [19:17] elz89: right ! democracy is gender-indifferent :P [19:17] sln45: no [19:17] bobweaver, I prefer bi [19:17] vi [19:17] sln45: :P [19:17] jtr__: Inquiring minds want to know! I thought no other female ubuntu users existed [19:17] b0ot: :>) [19:17] b0ot: I'd suggest adding: multiverse universe to those [19:17] sln45: are u ? [19:17] I'm transgender [19:17] >_> [19:17] Becky_: haha :D [19:17] b0ot: and maybe a couple of the others I'm using [19:17] nemo, they are there [19:18] b0ot: see the PM [19:18] Becky_: ... And apparently I'm right, jtr__. I am the only chick user [19:18] I just encountered the confusing behaviour that the process “dconf-service” seems to generate a 20K data-write operation to the file “~/.config/dconf/user” on every caps-lock hit unter 11.10, using Unity 3D. At least, the file is not growing, but anyway I wonder whether I should write a bug report because I think that this behaviour could possibly be undesired. [19:18] heh [19:18] hang on let me copy it to a usb [19:18] b0ot: oh? they aren't in the line you pasted... [19:18] My girlfriend uses ubuntu :-P [19:18] Becky_: sln45, doing their bit to make the channel interesting :P [19:18] b0ot: if you just added them, don't forget to update [19:18] nemo, I have to type everything... [19:18] elz89: mine too [19:18] Your girlfriend is a badass [19:18] sln45: you must be young... [19:18] so I didn't do it all [19:18] HI [19:18] heh [19:18] I am facing a problem with Kubuntu 11.10 , no sound from the system all of a sudden [19:18] also video file are not playing just hanging on single frame [19:18] sln45: whose ? :P i have had similar issues [19:18] I am a mere 18, for sooth [19:18] hey bobweaver, long time no geek... [19:19] ust before it happend i got an error on mozilla that adobe flash has crashed and after that files on youtuve are also playing wierdly [19:19] sln45: ubottu says advertising is not allowed :P [19:19] elz89: what a line :D [19:19] jtr__: I'm sorry, could you clarify your question? [19:19] Wait, advertising? Wut? [19:19] kamilnadeem: roll back flash [19:19] sln45: nevermind [19:19] ok elz89 , doing [19:19] sln45: was a jk anyways [19:20] I'm simple, don't expect smart jokes to hit me. [19:20] sln45: haha :D [19:20] b0ot: er. why not ssh in from putty if you are using windows [19:20] sln45: point taken :) [19:20] b0ot: then you can copy and paste :-p [19:20] nemo, how would i do that [19:20] On the upside, rewatching things is thrilling. I catch so much that I missed [19:20] Anyway [19:21] nemo, I have putty installed [19:21] then open putty, type in the ip address and connect :) [19:21] what bekks said. if you don't have ssh installed already, then sudo apt-get install ssh [19:22] sln45: anyway did you get the file ? [19:22] still no sound [19:22] shall i restart the system [19:23] that was too easy [19:23] jtr__: I'm in class, remember? I sit in the front row and it's too obvious. [19:23] kamilnadeem: you have played with alsa mixer > [19:23] ? [19:23] sln45: whaaaaaat?? [19:23] not currently [19:23] Becky_: you still about, please do not be put of by the predatory minority here :-P [19:23] jtr__: I must maintain some semblance of concentration on the lecture [19:23] kamilnadeem: open terminal and type in alsmixer and play around :>) [19:24] had used it just after installation because I was facing the sutomute prob [19:24] ok [19:24] Question - has anybody seen 11.10 with a Realtek wireless card show SSIDs as "Unknown" at times? [19:24] sln45: i see, its night-time 1 pm in my country, so amuses me , i already finished my day :D [19:24] jtr__: Ah, sorry. I'm American. [19:24] kamilnadeem: also look under dmesg to see if the kernel sees the aound card on boot [19:25] sound * [19:25] sln45: It should be 'sorry i am indian' :P [19:25] sln45: please tell me you got that one :( [19:25] nemo, http://paste.ubuntu.com/733443/ [19:25] jtr__: Well, we're not the standard. But holy jujubees, it myst be late over there [19:26] jason00, Did you try connecting manually by entering the SSID? [19:26] jtr__: ... Oh God, did I miss the joke? [19:26] The *REAL* time is 19:26 [19:26] EgyParadox: I did not actually. :( It just confused me because here at work we have the same SSIDs across each building. One building showed Unknown for both, yet here (another building) shows them up fine. [19:26] elz89: fine , but that doesn't make my sky an evening sky , does it ? :P [19:27] bobweaver still nothing [19:27] sln45: ya, you did [19:27] Arbitrary starting places signify nothing about reality! [19:27] We are all comparing [19:27] alsamixer is oh , where to check for dmesg [19:27] ok* [19:27] jtr__: Damn [19:27] jtr__: sorry, I don't think there is a pckage for that in the repos anymore dude. [19:28] elz89: ? [19:28] elz89: there was never a package called makemyday.deb [19:28] elz89: :D [19:28] I'm having trouble installing lxde in ubuntu 10.04 on a ppc machine [19:28] Lulz [19:28] Got an issue with Ubuntu. Can I ask the question here? [19:28] pumafyre: what problem it is [19:28] b0ot: hm. that does seem complete [19:28] b0ot: what package(s) is it missing when you attempt the install? [19:28] sln45: finally , you caught one among many :P [19:29] b0ot: I wanna see what repo they are in [19:29] kamilnadeem: ok lets try this do you know how to use paste.ubuntu.com please paste the out put of this lspci -nn ; lsmod; dmesg | grep snd and paste to paste.ubuntu.com and give us link please thanks [19:29] swfdec-mozilla [19:29] The following packages have unmet dependencies: [19:29] lxde: Depends: lxde-core (>= 0.5.0-4ubuntu2~lucid1) but it is not going to be installed [19:29] Recommends: amixer but it is not installable [19:29] BBL, stuff to do [19:29] got an issue too can you hel me ? [19:29] E: Broken packages [19:29] is that too much pasting? [19:29] jtr__: Woah there— I'm slow, not stupid, [19:29] pumafyre: Make use of pastebin [19:30] jtr__: ahh, but there is 'shutdown-at-night' [19:30] ok sln45. never used it before [19:30] after the upgrade to oneiric, my tomboy doesn't sync anymore. Running from the terminal, I get the error: "A note with this title already exists: New Note Template". I tried deleting the new note template, but it didn't change anything. How can I fix this? [19:30] sln45: i didn't mean stupid in any sense [19:30] trying to install gnome: http://paste.ubuntu.com/733446/ [19:30] jason00, you are scanning using Network Manager?, did you try iwlist? [19:30] elz89: haha, really ? [19:30] jtr__: I know, I know. No worries [19:30] http://paste.ubuntu.com/733449/ [19:30] sudo apt-cache show shutdown-at-night [19:30] I'm logged into Oneiric everything looks fine, but if I launch any app, nothing happens. The app is actually open though. And if I go to the multiple windows view I can see that the apps are open in the 1st window [19:30] lol @ elz89 [19:30] sln45: i takes time to figure that quality :P === jsurfer_ is now known as jsurfer [19:31] b0ot: huh. that's an interesting one [19:31] pumafyre: It's just a website to hold text. It's easier than trying to copy and save moving chat messages [19:31] b0ot: that's like... flash support? [19:31] BTW, I can alt-tab to the various apps. [19:31] EgyParadox: I'm just checking it out via network manager. Likewise, I forgot to check if it does it in Unity (I use Gnome Shell). [19:31] haha looks like it [19:31] b0ot: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/swfdec-mozilla [19:31] thank you sln45 [19:31] b0ot: and it is indeed in universe [19:32] sln45: why not use an irc client ? [19:32] b0ot: try switching to the main mirror (or any other mirror) then updating again [19:32] jason00, in terminal-> sudo iwlist scanning [19:32] b0ot: perhaps some intermittent mirror problem [19:32] pumafyre: No problem [19:32] b0ot: like, copy your sources.list somewhere, then do a find and replace [19:32] b0ot: you can also manually install the file from http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/swfdec-mozilla [19:32] jtr__: The text is moving. Pastebin holds it still, and you can write more detailed instructions [19:32] kamilnadeem: please let us see out put of wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh [19:33] b0ot: just download it with wget, then sudo dpkg -i filename.deb [19:33] any idea about the lxde thing, sln45? [19:33] b0ot: whichever seems easier... [19:33] sln45: i was suggesting you use an irc client, i know pastebin and why i use it, btw did you know the command line tool for it ? - it 'pastebinit' [19:33] Fixed it!!! Finally!!! [19:33] kamilnadeem: also I see no dmesg | grep snd [19:33] pumafyre: What was the question? [19:33] cavaughan: \o/ woot woot [19:34] pumafyre: please pastebin the output of the failed command [19:34] sln45 I am having trouble installing lxde into ubuntu 10.04 on a ppc machine [19:34] jtr__ ok [19:34] bobweaver http://paste.ubuntu.com/733455/ [19:34] Hi there - I have an Ubuntu virtual machine running. How do I configure multiple monitors on it? Currently the display is just mirrored across the monitors. [19:34] jtr__: That's cool, I did not know that. I don't know why you keep referring to irc. What about it? [19:34] leeping__: System->Preferences->Monitor in gnome2 [19:35] sln45: use a client like Xchat is all i am saying [19:35] sln45: suggesting rather [19:35] pumafyre: Sorry, I don't know enough to help. [19:35] leeping__: depends though. if using nvidia, you'd need to use their tool === travis is now known as Draztyk [19:35] leeping__: and a virtual machine, who knows what the display pretends to be... [19:35] jtr__: I wouldn't know enough to understand how that is a solution [19:35] sln45 no worries, neither do I :p [19:35] leeping__: probably intel, so that should work [19:35] nemo, right, I'm not using Nvidia (it's a macbook pro). Under monitor preferences, I'm only seeing one. Maybe if I restart the VM it will work? [19:36] pumafyre: Well, if google couldn't help the forums or these guys can surely help. [19:36] leeping__: virtual machine probably not exposing it then [19:36] nemo, that's possible. Let me play with the settings a little more. Thanks :) [19:36] leeping__: I'd suggest tech support for your VM software. virtualbox is in #vbox [19:36] pumafyre: did you try doing it with a package manager like synaptic, and pardon my knowledge , what is ppc ? [19:36] http://pastebin.com/v8gL8HvB' [19:36] leeping__: you might also need guest additions. both vmware and vbox have those [19:36] jtr__ I did. Power PC [19:37] pumafyre: ohh [19:37] What in the world is a power pc? [19:37] nemo, I don't know what guest additions are. And yes I went to the #vmware chat, they referred me to a site that told me to change the display settings in the guest OS [19:37] sln45: PPC - RISC chip. Apple used to use them [19:37] I see. [19:37] sln45 lol it's an older computer :) it's a mac [19:37] pumafyre: try using a package manager ? [19:38] leeping__: guest additions integrate the guest and host better. they are hooks into the guest VM [19:38] Ew. Well, good luck my friend. [19:38] nemo, can you help? [19:38] jtr__ I used synaptic [19:38] leeping__: often guest ends up w/ nicer gfx cards exposed, instead of just VGA [19:38] pumafyre: what happened there? [19:38] lol thanks sln45 [19:38] bobweaver also google+ is hanging now on chromium [19:38] leeping__: VM is hit or miss though. hard to get specific advice on it. for example, using moka5 over here, I ended up having to hardcode lines for vmware into the xorg.conf [19:38] let me do it again [19:38] leeping__: stupid vmware driver was being stupid about exposing monitor settings [19:39] pumafyre: ok..waiting [19:39] nemo, I added the mirror for that swfdec-mozilla package listed on that page you said [19:39] kamilnadeem: sudo rmmod snd_hda_intel ; sudo modprobe snd_hda_intel ; sudo apt-get update ; sleep 12 ; sudo apt-get upgrade [19:39] did an apt-get update... and it downloaded some stuff [19:40] and it still wont' install gnome still failing on swfdec-mozilla [19:40] b0ot: ah. good [19:40] nemo, thanks. I don't think I have any hardware graphics acceleration on this host. Maybe if I restart the VM it will work, but it's not such a big deal because I have a lot of monitor space. :) [19:40] Thank you for the help [19:40] leeping__: anyway. definitely try vmware guest additions [19:40] can't hurt :) [19:40] but. yeah. I'm more a vbox guy [19:41] bobweaver still nothing [19:41] well. probably can't hurt ;) [19:41] nemo, thank you. I will investigate into what "guest additions" are. :) [19:41] take a vm snapshot if you're worried [19:41] vbox rocks [19:41] any ideas now? [19:41] pumafyre: \m/ [19:41] pumafyre: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/alsa-utils I don't see PPC :( [19:42] pumafyre: maybe you can find some debian maintained ppc of alsa-utils or something and install w/ dpkg... [19:42] pumafyre: you could try forcing the install w/o the dependency, but who knows what might not run in the app then [19:42] kamilnadeem: sorry my irc client keeps crashing [19:42] http://pastebin.com/HGwZgwQe [19:42] nemo ugh ok [19:42] nemo: i think amixer is alsamixer/ [19:42] vbox is really easy in ubuntu [19:42] Oh man, this is so out of place but does anyone remember the name of that really small european distro of linux> [19:42] jtr__: right. and alsamixer is in alsa-utils [19:42] b0ot: apt-cache search swfdec-mozilla --> swfdec-mozilla - dummy package for transition to browser-plugin-gnash [19:43] bobweaver : no prob [19:43] nemo thank you [19:43] nemo: ok [19:43] crunchbang, i dont know a lot of them are auro [19:43] kamilnadeem: reboot please [19:43] ok [19:43] Sh3r1ff: not that important for a desktop anyway. assuming you want flash, better off just using adobe's :) [19:43] Sh3r1ff: but, hey, if the gnome meta wants it, easier to just play along [19:44] hi. i have the following problem. i have a library in some folder which i need to add to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to run some other program for this i added the variable in ~/.bashrc this works as long as i run it on the command line but as soon as i try to run it from within QtCreator it complains about not finding the library. [19:44] can you help me on this? [19:44] the_p_: have you logged out and logged back in? [19:44] wow... so I think i can download it [19:44] nemo: i just restarted [19:44] nemo, how do I force an install without a dependency? [19:44] i forgot to do a apt-get install mozilla swfdec-mozilla after the sources update [19:45] not it wants to install around 100 packages [19:45] 189MB [19:45] 146 new packages [19:45] b0ot: that sounds like a reasonable size [19:45] bobweaver its working now, but had to do a cold reboot [19:45] the_p_: hm. maybe .bash_profile - since that'd be a login shell [19:46] b0ot: if you just used apt-get install mozilla swfdec-mozilla thos are dependencies [19:46] the_p_: or you could just set it system-wide in env.d [19:46] it is also a prob that I am facing [19:46] kamilnadeem: good news kinda [19:46] kamilnadeem: can u tell me what your problem was? [19:46] kamilnadeem: i think i have the same issue [19:46] nemo: i could but it should be possible without, shoudn't it? [19:46] kamilnadeem: look at this post 11 [19:46] https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/177026 [19:46] pumafyre: man dpkg search for force, but I don't really recommend... [19:47] thank you nemo [19:47] jtr__: you have no sound ? [19:47] hm [19:47] is there a command line text editor with windows-like shortcuts? [19:47] bobweaver: i have no sound when i start my system [19:47] jtr__ the system was producing no sound and video files were hanging on single frame , audio not playing [19:47] ctrl-c is copy, ctrl-v is paste ... [19:47] Olotila: gedit i guess would do that [19:47] bobweaver: i execute pulseaudio --kill [19:47] Austrumi! Austrumi was what I was looking for. [19:47] bobweaver: then alsamixer reload [19:47] bobweaver: voila! sound is back [19:47] jtr__: what does dmesg have to say about that ? [19:47] tomodachi: gedit is not command line [19:48] kamilnadeem: ok , thanks for that :) [19:48] Olotila: I don't quite know what you want, but we have gedit and the terminal [19:48] jtr__: can you use sysv-rc-conf to fix that for good ? [19:48] bobweaver many a times when I restart or shutdown the screen dims a tinge but nothing happens [19:48] bobweaver: i dont get dmesg - what is it ? and sys... ? [19:48] Olotila: nano works like that [19:48] doesn't gedit need GUI? [19:48] Olotila: Gedit is a simple text editor which recognizes programming language and the terminal is the equivalent of the command line [19:48] I am still able to click on applications and stuff [19:49] nano has like ALT-A for marking text [19:49] Olotila: Well... Yeah. [19:49] kamilnadeem: that is a bug that is beeing hashed out that also happens to me on kubuntu 11.10 [19:49] windows has SHIFT arrows [19:49] kamilnadeem: that is also one of my problems - [19:49] Olotila: Point being? [19:49] I am running KDE 4.7.3 and you all? [19:49] kamilnadeem: you should ensure you disconnect every port and shut down every app -then it shuts down properly [19:49] if you dont have gui, you dont have gedit [19:49] right? [19:49] kamilnadeem: i am also using the same KDE [19:50] now it is failing because of gnome-desktop-enviornment and epiphany-extensions [19:50] jtr__: sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf then sudo sysv-rc-conf [19:50] sln45: like with server [19:50] sln45: with no GUI [19:50] Olotila: yes [19:50] Olotila: use vim ! [19:50] Olotila: Well, right. But I'm sure with a little googling you could find a text editor sans frontend [19:50] jtr__: then scoll down to pluse and un check the [x] with the spacebar and chjeck the [] in alsamixer the same way :>) [19:50] how much more googling? [19:51] can i not ask here? [19:51] bobweaver: wait 1 min [19:51] Olotila: I'm just going to jump out of this conversation because I'm not helping. [19:51] Olotila: No, you can. [19:51] Olotila: sudo apt-get install vim!!!!!! [19:51] sln45: thanks anyway :) [19:51] Does this mean that my sources just aren't working? [19:52] Olotila: Sorry I couldn't help. Many smart people gather here, they can help you. [19:52] Olotila: vim is a text editor with no frontend [19:52] the new source I added seemed to work [19:52] sln45: :P [19:52] jtr__: Shh, you. I know I am too silly for this channel. [19:52] jtr__: does vim have windows like shortcuts? [19:53] Olotila: most command line editors don't work like windows editors do [19:53] Olotila: no, that needs a gui ! [19:53] Hi [19:53] haha [19:53] http://www.nixiepixel.com/ [19:53] do you all know of her ^ [19:53] darn [19:53] Olotila: There are no shortcuts in the terminal. That's a gui thing. [19:54] sln45: i am not that smart actually, i just know some thing i ran into, thats it :), and everyone doing their bit is what makes this a wonderful place :), don't quit! [19:54] Ok well ... [19:54] Olotila: I didn't think the windows one had any. Maybe what you're looking for is a fancy terminal [19:54] Olotila: u wanted no frontend , remember ? [19:54] so there is not a text editor that has ctrl-c ctrl-v like in windows? [19:54] Hi [19:54] !kate [19:54] Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) - Terminal-based: nano, vi/vim, emacs, ed - For HTML/CSS editors, see !html - For programming editors and IDE, see !code [19:54] and shift arrows to mark text? [19:54] bobweaver: i just installed the package and i am going to do what u told, hold on a bit [19:54] Olotila: Oooh [19:54] Olotila: not by my knowledge [19:55] jtr__: np [19:55] Olotila: You mean like copying and pasting, don't you? [19:55] Hi everyone [19:55] yea [19:55] Olotila: Same thing, just add shift. [19:55] Hi kat [19:55] Olotila: ctrl shift c [19:55] Olotila: and do note that ctrl + c on command line has a special meaning ;) [19:55] Olotila: See? [19:55] Olotila: you can use mouse in vim to mark text , and the terminal menu to paste it ( it pastes next to cursor position ) [19:56] Could someone help me get gnome installed: It is currently failing because of gnome-desktop-enviornment and epiphany-extensions [19:56] Any girls got kik [19:56] jtr__: you know EDIT in DOS? [19:56] Olotila: you can also see the commands there. [19:56] Olotila: just use nano [19:56] Olotila: yes :) [19:56] i need something like that [19:56] Olotila: Same thing in gedit [19:56] Olotila: ctrl-shft c and ctrl-shift-v [19:56] jtr__: lets also see wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh [19:56] Olotila: Sorry, terminal [19:56] jtr__ advangated of vim over nano/pico? [19:56] Olotila: Just look at the menus. It's pretty self-explanatory [19:57] *jtr__ are there advantages [19:57] pumafyre: vi is probably the most powerfull editor [19:57] pumafyre: never used nano/pico [19:57] pumafyre: they sound like small names :P [19:57] * bobweaver is a nano guy :>) [19:57] Olotila: If you go to preferences, you can also make your terminal background transparent or give it a wallpaper. That's kind of cool. === kthomas_vh_ is now known as onekenthomas [19:57] guys, I cannot even exit vim [19:57] lol [19:57] Olotila: maybe nano is something you'd like to see [19:58] pumafyre: D: [19:58] i tried nano [19:58] Olotila: esc, then :q [19:58] helo 0000 I'd like to speak with you if I can!!! [19:58] Olotila: Hee hee. Go to a terminal, killall -9 vim [19:58] took me a long time to learn how to mark text [19:58] Olotila: I think that's the command [19:58] my point is, these editors are from another planet [19:58] Thanks bobweaver [19:59] Olotila: You know, the Ubuntu site has some tutorials for this sort of beginner stuff. I bet they could help you [19:59] Olotila: try them all and find the one that fits you :>) [19:59] kamilnadeem: np [19:59] Will be taking your leave now [19:59] Olotila: Ha ha, not really [19:59] bobweaver: i am removing the X's and adding Xs but there are 7 rows [19:59] Peace Be WIth You ALL [19:59] Olotila: trying something for the first time is always new ;) [19:59] Later! [19:59] I really like windowseditors, because they all have the same keyboard commands [19:59] sln45: :) bbye [19:59] Vim to get started: You have multiple modes: esc: will get you to an edit area where you can do keystroke commands i or a will get you in a text editable area. Copy is y paste is p... exit is esc :q! to quit and esc : w q to save and quit [19:59] Olotila: They really aren't so different, I promise. [20:00] vi tutorial [20:00] Olotila: You will learn quickly. [20:00] jtr__: 2345 <- mark [20:00] what happens if I add an older repo to my software sources? That is I have 2 "canonical partners" repos (for natty and lucid) [20:00] jtr__: that is it [20:00] b0ot: it shouldn't keep failing like that. if you keep missing stuff, you really need to fix your apt lines. [20:00] Olotila: for that you need a graphical environment [20:00] Okay, I'm leaving. Might come back later. Bye y'all. [20:00] nemo, fix my apt lines? [20:00] bobweaver: u saying i should change Xs in those rows ( add in alsa, remove in pulse ? ) [20:00] hi [20:00] thank you guys, i guess i have my answer :) [20:00] jtr__: Yes [20:01] b0ot: missing dependencies over and over on an LTS [20:01] b0ot: I wonder if it wouldn't be easier for you just to install ubuntu desktop over the server install :-p [20:01] jtr__: sysv-rc-confmanages boot programs [20:01] no familiar commands for me in ubuntu [20:01] jtr__: sysv-rc-conf manages boot programs * [20:01] i forgot my root password so can you help me... [20:01] b0ot: but. yeah. that stuff in sources.list - if it is not finding it, either the lines are wrong, or you have a bad mirror [20:01] to regain password [20:01] lordjj: nothing really, installing a package will almost always install the newest package available [20:01] bobweaver: alsa-what ? [20:01] nemo, I need all my stuff on server... i just need a desktop gui [20:02] alright [20:02] Olotila:They are almost all the same [20:02] bobweaver: alsa-rest$ or alsa-store? === manu is now known as Guest69030 [20:02] alsa rest and alsa store [20:02] sln45: i thought u were gone :P [20:02] Olotila: at least the very basic ones [20:02] jtr__: alsa rest and alsa store [20:02] bobweaver: both ? === xmas is now known as Guest53446 [20:02] Now I am! [20:02] sln45: u can stay :) [20:02] jtr__: Yup [20:03] sln45: classes can be boring :P [20:03] jtr__: let me see wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh [20:03] bobweaver: just cross checking - 2, 3, 4 5 only right '/ [20:03] bobweaver: ? [20:03] jtr__: es [20:03] Yes * [20:03] bobweaver: k [20:03] b0ot: perhaps you could try copying over the sources.list from someone here who has a lucid desktop [20:04] b0ot: after backing up your existing one of course [20:04] b0ot: and running apt-get update after. [20:04] but for real jtr__ let me see wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh before reboot [20:04] [20:05] bobweaver: it asks me to automatically upload info or not ? (Y/N? ) [20:05] Y [20:05] bobweaver: later do tell me what this command does [20:05] jtr__: Yeah. I'm just waiting for my ride now [20:05] after the upgrade to oneiric, my tomboy doesn't sync anymore. Running from the terminal, I get the error: "A note with this title already exists: New Note Template". I tried deleting the new note template, but it didn't change anything. How can I fix this?

I won't have access to my chord until a while from now [20:08] thx bobweaver [20:08] b0ot: you can also launch gui apps remotely using it (ssh -Y) [20:08] bobweaver: 'chord' ?

[21:36] You dont have to tar or anything this is flippin awesome !!! [21:36] bobweaver: one idea is to write a script that reads directories in from a text file and rsyncs them to a remote server. just run the script often with cron [21:36] bobweaver, Im running a private server here at home too. Just got rsync up today, one click from my laptop and I have all my files backed up :o [21:36] jtr__, Sh3r1ff , MeQuerSat I am not try search packet, I need conf file location [21:36] jtr__: I'm sorry, I'm still in class.

[21:45] Neldogz: rsync is very good at that [21:45] ikonia: How ever I don't believe it and will continue my reasearch. [21:45] gabriella: sorry, what do you mean by 'last view' [21:45] Rya_n: just boot into windows. there are windows boot loader reinstallers for windows [21:45] nemo: When I was installing Ubuntu, I only chose the separate HD. [21:45] Rya_n: if you really want that... [21:45] excellent, thank you riffautae [21:45] Neldogz: i think the archive option is what you want [21:45] zenmaster waste your time and damage your machine then, don't come asking for help if you don't want the answer [21:45] I'm trying to install Neverwinter Nights 1 but I need to know the cdrom directory, I can't seem to find it [21:46] Neldogz: saves file permissions, ownership and so on [21:46] Rya_n: the other possibility is you aren't actually picking the right HD, or maybe the bootloader is misssing on the windows HD so it is failing over to the ubuntu one [21:46] *shrug* [21:46] ciao a tutti [21:46] !list [21:46] 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 ». [21:46] i really appreciate your help, thank you riffautae [21:46] for example the films first view [21:46] nemo: If I boot into Ubuntu, uninstall GRUB, will my Windows still boot? [21:47] Rya_n: if you want to keep ubuntu too, then no [21:47] jtr__: I saw nothing about "query." How about I just give you my e-mail? Are these logged for a long time? [21:47] gabriella:this is not a file sharing channel. [21:47] I'm trying to install Neverwinter Nights 1 but I need to know the cdrom directory, I can't seem to find it [21:47] gabriella: the main menu such as on a dvd? i dont think the built in media player supports dvd menus [21:47] ikonia: Where did that come from? This is a hobby for me obviously. As I am talking about a game server. And to me learning is not wasting time. I just fail to believe in a operating system so popular would have such a huge disadvantage to such a popular game... [21:47] anyone know where that is? [21:47] Rya_n: GRUB is necessary to pick between opeorating systems. Depending on where GRUB installed to, you might not be able to uninstall grub cleanly [21:47] gabriella: try mplayer or vlc [21:47] i'll send u a private message , see when it pops up [21:47] Rya_n: no [21:47] But I understand. I'm not a Linux guy. I'm more of a Unix person myself. [21:47] I tried /media/cdrom, but it didn't work [21:47] Rya_n: that's a baaaad thing to do [21:47] Now let me get the last laugh. [21:48] Have a great day. [21:48] zenmaster again if you don't want to know/accept the answer, why bother asking, just keep researching/wasting your time on how to wreck your machine [21:48] Rya_n: you need to reinstall the windows bootloader. just boot into windows [21:48] Rya_n: grub should already have a boot entry for windows [21:48] hello all :) how are we this ,morning? quick questions i was copying my media from fat to ext4 and drive filled up woopsie... so i cleared some room and i want to continue from where i left off. whats my best option? lots of folders so i dont know ecaxtly where it was up too... is there a sync function to sync both drives or folders? [21:48] how do I find out where my cdrom drive is? [21:48] the directory i mean [21:48] Rya_n: oh. I just thought of another possibility. if you are really noob, maybe you installed ubuntu on the windows HD :) [21:48] hammommah: rsync can mirror dirs and will resume safely [21:48] sln45_: got my message ? [21:48] nemo: It does, but the thing is I set its timeout to 0 thinking I could then just choose the Ubuntu hard drive from bios to boot... and no I didn't install it on windows, lol. [21:49] Hi, I just did a new ubuntu installation on my desktop and I was trying to isntall fglrx drivers and it tells me it can't install and to check jockey.log [21:49] Rya_n: oh. no problem [21:49] sumpter: cat /etc/fstab [21:49] Rya_n: you can change the timeout from inside ubuntu [21:49] jtr__: No. I wouldn't know how to check it [21:49] thanks [21:49] I couldn't find anything that I could understand in there. any help? [21:49] Rya_n: /etc/default/grub [21:49] riffautae, whats the syntax for rsysnc or will i ask google :) [21:49] nemo: I can't boot into Ubuntu, lol. [21:49] Rya_n: ??? why? [21:49] sumpter, check /media [21:49] sumpter, If you mount any media then you can check /media [21:49] sln45_: look for the list of channels , it should be right there ( it'll bear my nick ) [21:50] nemo: It doesn't boot if I just choose the Ubuntu hard drive. It's dependant on GRUB that seems to be on my Windows harddrive. [21:50] it won't work [21:50] hammommah: its a little finikey i would suggest looking for a simple tutorial. the wiki has a really basic one: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync [21:50] it needs the device [21:50] as in the actual drive [21:50] nemo: And I set GRUB timeout to 0, and Windows as default boot. lol [21:50] jtr__: I don't know how to do that and my battery is dying [21:51] sln45_: gimme your email, mine is pratik.sajnani@gmail.com [21:51] Rya_n: you can set grub up again from an ubuntu CD. no big deal [21:51] @Sh3r1ff thanks that worked [21:51] nemo: yeah, I know. I'll have to burn one. But can't I freeze grub somehow? I tried holding SHIFT on boot, but nothing happened. [21:52] sumpter: np [21:52] Rya_n: if you're fast enough, any keystroke should freeze it [21:52] but 0s is 0s [21:52] Rya_n: that's just silly [21:52] Rya_n: even on systems where I know they'll never use the grub menu, I still just set it to 1s [21:52] i just noticed something on this wiki page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync [21:52] does anyone here know what to change in grub so that while ubuntu is booting we can see services turning on and checks etc with an OK or fail status? [21:52] Rya_n: gotta say, you kinda deserve this one :-p [21:52] they use sudo to copy files with rsync between files in the home dir, thats pretty odd [21:52] Where would I go to talk about specific hardware/laptops that use Ubuntu? [21:52] Neldogz: edit the kernel boot line, and remove quiet and splash [21:53] ciao [21:53] nemo, I did that already and all i see is a purple screen while the machine is booting.. so then i went ahead and added noquiet and nosplash and same thing [21:53] nemo: For some reason I thought choosing a completely separate Hard drive when isntalling Ubuntu, my Windows hard drive would be unaffected. [21:53] Iszak: if you have problems or want info on which ones are supported you can ask here or try the forum [21:53] !hcl [21:53] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [21:53] Neldogz: ehm. a bit skeptical there. if you really removed quiet and splash you should not see a purple screen [21:53] Neldogz: maybe you did it wrong [21:54] jtr__, Sh3r1ff , MeQuerSat do you have any idea or suggestin for my problem [21:54] nemo: If I wanted to only use GRUB when choosing my Ubuntu hard drive, how would I do that? [21:54] hi. i'd like to make a full system backup of my ubuntu based trisquel system. what tool should i use? i know there is rsync. but i'm looking for something gui friendly for non-proficient user. deja dup does not support full system back up, does it? [21:54] https://answers.launchpad.net/deja-dup/+question/151349 [21:54] ErtanERBEK, not really, sorry [21:54] question: is there a Ubuntu-specific guideline document to describe where to put user-specific stuff? (or, why is that that Trash is in ~/.local/shared/Trrash ?) [21:54] nemo, this is possible.. I will research some more. Thanks! [21:54] Rya_n: to repeat what I said... just install grub on the ubuntu HD [21:54] Rya_n: then reinstall the windows bootloader on the windows HD [21:54] riffautae, thanks chief [21:54] jtr__, Sh3r1ff , MeQuerSat no problem, Thank you for your interasting [21:55] sln45_: there at all? [21:55] Neldogz: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [21:55] Neldogz: can you pastebin your /etc/default/grub ? [21:55] DrMax_: the free desktop specification should match ubuntu [21:55] jtr__: Yes. I'll email you. got to go, Goodbye! [21:55] DrMax_: well, vice versa but you get the idea [21:55] hi all [21:55] Rya_n: but grub is more flexible than the windows bootloader IMO, I think you should just have it on both if you plan to use both a lot [21:55] sln45_: okay :) , use your nick as a subject so i know :) [21:56] nemo: Sorry. So when installing grub it will give me the option, or... [21:56] jtr__: already gone ;) [21:56] Sh3r1ff: after i used tab to complete the nick :-| [21:56] Rya_n: yes [21:56] Rya_n: grub setup lets you pick which HDs/partitions to install it to [21:56] jtr__: try to type faster ;) [21:57] Rya_n: nice graphical thing w/ checkboxes [21:57] question? [21:57] Sh3r1ff: haha :D [21:57] list [21:57] riffautae : ok, found. [21:57] I didn't know about FreeDesktop [21:57] Sh3r1ff: there is always a next time for things that are worth it :) [21:57] :) [21:57] class ridicolus [21:57] :d [21:57] http://pastebin.com/u0sLgqL4 [21:58] Ubuntu just paid for itself today: I edited an important pdf document and created a new template for letterhead for our non-profit org. My computer literacy program might just get off the ground. I need to come up with a schematic for our floor usage, can anyone recommend a architecture style cad program for Ubuntu that has a shallow learning curve? [21:58] Neldogz: did you run update-grub ? [21:58] yes sure did [21:58] nemo: Alright, thanks. And just in case I need to know for the future, how do I reset the Windows bootloader? I don't have any sort of CD for that. [21:58] upon booting all is see is a semi purple blank screen [21:58] Hello all [21:58] How do I make DWA-140 run as fast as it should in Ubuntu as it does in Windows 7? It only does 1/3 of the speed in Ubuntu. [21:58] is someone here who have taken the lpi 101 exam? [21:59] Rya_n: haven't done it in a while. google. there's some little utility someone made. or you can use the windows CD, but BE CAREFUL you do not reinstall it [21:59] (windows that is) [21:59] I have been looking at the Ubuntu Dev site [21:59] And it said I should start here [21:59] Rya_n: or you could just use grub :-p [21:59] Ahh a ubuntu fan [21:59] Right? [21:59] Neldogz: then it should work [21:59] Younder: we all are :) [21:59] :3 [21:59] name: I think I'll stick with grub in fear of messing something up. Thanks again. [21:59] nemo: ^ [22:00] Your setup is totally fucked [22:00] Fusionite: right! [22:00] sh3r1ff: i have been able to get some verbosity upon bootup by enabling grub_cmdline_linux but i still dont see the OK or Fail [22:00] Trond--: what ubuntu version? [22:00] Are there any D-Link driver on its way for Ubuntu? DWA-140 does only 1/3 of the internet speed.

[22:48] in the home folder [22:48] _ssl.c:480: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed [22:48] lordjj, when you need to find a file try the find command in a terminal, just type 'find -name ' [22:48] This is what I'm originally trying to troubleshoot [22:48] lordjj: i mean is it the terminal aur nautilus or what [22:49] Nautilus [22:49] ViaNocturna85: he wanted .bashrc [22:49] find -name .bashrc outputs nothing [22:49] lordjj: find doesn't look for hidden files [22:49] jtr__, thats funny, it displays './.bashrc' for me [22:50] ViaNocturna85: without any flag ? [22:50] are there any browserify-compatible test frameworks? [22:50] 'find -name .bashrc' [22:50] jtr__: yes it does, but the command was wrong ;) [22:50] ViaNocturna85: thats strange ! i just tried searching my .swp files after a session crash and find -name *.swp returned nothing [22:51] jtr__: find . -name "*.swp" [22:51] Hi there I am trying to write a backup script and need some help. here is the script http://paste.ubuntu.com/733647/ as you can see from line 19 down I need Help thanks so Much [22:51] Sh3r1ff: ViaNocturna85 oh i did not type '-name' , sorry guys [22:51] ;) [22:51] "Unmount partitions that are in use? The installer has detected that the following disks have mounted partitions: /dev/sda " I'm installing from a USB stick. Does this message refer to the very USB stick I'm installing from? [22:51] lordjj: you can do what they said [22:51] jtr__: try find . -name "*bashrc*" -print [22:51] Sh3r1ff: ok [22:51] jtr__, thank god, i just thought i had some divine terminal session going on [22:52] I think I just don't have one in my home folder [22:52] ViaNocturna85: ahaha :D [22:52] Guys, I have a system with 24G of Ram and I want to make it run faster using idle ram. How can I make it use more ram for useful things, speeding up the system? [22:53] lelo: arent you the luck one :>) [22:53] lelo: Your system does its job very well, it uses as much RAM as it needs. [22:53] i installed the "additional drivers" on my hp dv6 with dual GPUs (intel and AMD), i rebooted then tried to run teh catalyst control center and then got http://imgur.com/7o4m3 any ideas ? [22:53] lelo: it will use what it needs, the filesystem will use a chunk, you could probably turn swappiness to 0 [22:53] Sh3r1ff: prints the output anyways , why use -print ? === Ti-PrgmR is now known as ti-prgmr [22:55] jtr__: because you can do other stuff to the files find finds with -exec [22:55] alguém do Brasil? [22:55] que fale português? [22:55] jtr__: just a habit [22:55] Sh3r1ff: i still cant print all the .swp files it prints only one [22:55] does anyone know what download and upload speed you need to host a 300,000 + uniques/month [22:55] Sh3r1ff: [22:56] Sh3r1ff: did u just say 'files find finds' :P [22:56] alguém do Brasil? [22:56] jtr__: if it prints one, it means it found just the one [22:56] I'm looking at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerGUI and I'm wondering about the X11 Client section. What would be an example of an X11 client? [22:56] jtr__: and yeah i did, the files that the command "find" finds, that more clear? ;) [22:56] alguém do Brasil? [22:56] que fale português? [22:56] Sh3r1ff: i can see more than one in my dolphin file browser [22:57] !br | antonio_ [22:57] Sh3r1ff: no i was just mocking it, i got it the first time :P [22:57] antonio_: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português.

[22:57] hey guys [22:57] jtr__: english isn't my native tongue, so it could sound a little weird sometimes ;) [22:57] I need your help :) I am trying to switch from Unity to Wingpanel [22:57] jtr__: but if the files are in the same folder, it should normally find them [22:57] I have buitl wingpanel and it runs well, but now I want to replace so I installed compiz config manager, disabled unity [22:57] ok, I'm trying to boot archlinux with ubuntu's grub [22:57] Thanks [22:58] but I would like to know how I can start wingpanel & docky at the startup [22:58] Sh3r1ff: omg! i never noticed any errors! and the statement was as it is very correct, ur english is better than okay :) [22:58] it boots into ubuntu fine, but arch tries to load sda3, which doesn't exist === ti-prgmr is now known as Ti-PrgmR [22:59] heloo, after upgrade tp oneiric i have to logou twoice, any clue how to turn this off? [22:59] Sh3r1ff: okay, find searches only the current dir ? [22:59] Sh3r1ff: thats y [22:59] jtr__: No. [22:59] the archlinux people say it's ubuntu's fault for it not working correctly [22:59] By default, find searches the current directory and all subdirectories. [22:59] quit [23:00] bekks: in fact i was in home and it didnt print the .swp files in Music folder ( lyrics ) [23:00] jtr__: the syntax of find is: find "location" -name "something you search" (short version) [23:00] bekks: so obv no [23:00] jtr__: Then do this: find . [23:00] jtr__: and the location can be anything you want (. standing for current dir) [23:00] bekks: and if u dont give a location, it assumes . ? [23:00] jtr__: If your assumption would be correct, you wouldnt see any contents i subdirectories. [23:00] jtr__: bekks is correct.. find search subdirs too [23:01] bekks: u mean if i had done a find -name '*.swp' in ~ , it should print .swp files in Music folder right ? [23:02] bekks: pardon the specificity, i understood what u said , but somehow it doesn't give the expected output [23:02] jtr__: I mean that find searches subdirectories too if you follow the syntax correctly. [23:02] Nobody uses wingpanel? [23:02] You still omit the "location" which is mandatory. [23:02] bekks: so i must give a "location" parameter [23:02] bobweaver, bekks, SIFTU: I've heard from cooleagues that it is possible to run the whole system from RAM. Google wasn't very helpful on achieving that with 11.10. Any ideas on how to implement that? [23:02] What would be an example of an X11 client? [23:02] jtr__: perhaps the searchterm wasn't correct [23:02] bekks: ok let me check [23:03] Sh3r1ff: it printed one .swp file , so i think it was [23:03] jtr__: No, you have not. Just issue "find" somewhere. [23:03] Sh3r1ff: find . -name '*.swp' [23:03] jtr__: find . -name is case sensitive, use find . -iname for case insensitive [23:03] lelo: yeah puppy does that.. you can also create ramdisks [23:04] Sh3r1ff: the string i am searching is a case-insensitive regexp [23:04] SIFTU: what do you mean by puppy? puppy linux distro? [23:04] Sh3r1ff: i mean i dont think it makes any difference [23:04] lelo: yeah.. it loads itself into RAM [23:04] Right, Im just going out on a limb here with this question. I want to know if there is any way I can use IMVU's latest client without it crashing through Wine and without paying for Crossover? [23:04] hay all, anyone alive in here? [23:04] jtr__: yes it does, find . -name '*.swp' will not find a something.SWP file [23:05] lelo: but it wont use all the RAM you are talking about :) [23:05] mya: short answer - no [23:05] SIFTU: but the idea is to run ubuntu... :) [23:05] jtr__: -iname vs. -name [23:05] Sh3r1ff: i knew that :) [23:05] ikonia: Long answer? [23:05] lelo: well you could copy stuff into a ramdisk and mount it.. you would need to do it on everyboot [23:05] Just installed postgresql on Ubuntu 11.04, apt-get install postgresql. Installed w/o problem. Now I do service postresql start, nothing happens.. I get no error, nothing, just the prompt, but no postgresql process.. What might be the problem, or ways to fix this? [23:06] running ubuntu headless, need to be reminded what the system monitor is called. has and odd name and ive forgotten. [23:06] SIFTU: I understand. Thank you :) [23:06] I DO have MySQL running as well, ps `pgrep sql` shows the mysql server running.. Maybe it has something to do with that? (though, thats doubtful) [23:06] Gr3mlin: top? [23:06] htop? [23:06] cant get kworld ub405 dvb work on ubuntu 11.10...!!! help!!!! [23:06] Top? [23:06] mya: can't be bothered, [23:06] Anyone using wingpanel or docky on Ubuntu 11.10? [23:07] Phoenixz: have you setup the database [23:07] Is there a way to install the packages from an aptoncd iso by mounting the iso instead of burning to disk? [23:07] Phoenixz: the database needs to be setup so there is something to run [23:07] ikonia, if you dont know an answer, perhaps leave it for someone who might? [23:07] moystard: Why dont you just ask your real question? :) [23:07] bekks: Sh3r1ff: it was my mistake , thanks u guys :) and apologies , i confused abc.txt~ kind of files with a swap file, but anyways what are those files ending with a ~ [23:07] ViaNocturna85: don't know the answer to what ? [23:07] jtr__: but find searches every subdirectory as weel, so find should find the files if your searchterm matches [23:07] ikonia: can you just give me an idea of where to start looking? [23:07] mya's question [23:07] mya: it's not stable underwine [23:07] bekks, I did before but nobody replied. I am trying to replace Unity with wingpanel/docky [23:07] ViaNocturna85: I do know the answer, that's why I gave it him [23:07] ikonia: Great, I'll look for a howto on postgre.. [23:07] jtr__: backup files [23:07] Sh3r1ff: okay, thanks [23:08] moystard: Thats a nice job to do - but no question nor a problem :) [23:08] ikonia: do you know what upload/download speeds you would need to host a high traffic website? [23:08] jtr__: gedit can be configured to automaticly save your work for example [23:08] Phoenixz: you've installed the binaries, bu there is "nothing" to actually start if that makes sense, you've not created an instance yet [23:08] ikonia: HIM?! IM A GIRL! [23:08] andyk: depends on many things [23:08] mya: sorry about that [23:08] jtr__: and it saves it like that (filenam.extension~) [23:08] the solution I thought of is to run compiz config manager, disable unity, but I need then to launch wingpanel on startup, what is the easiest solution to do that? Also, if I run docky, everything disappears on my screen :/ [23:08] ikonia: well, mysql does start w/o anything.. :) [23:08] ikonia: not a worry. [23:08] Phoenixz: mysql is not postgres [23:09] ikonia: checking https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostgreSQL [23:09] Does anyone know an example of a X11 "Clent"? [23:09] Phoenixz: and if you check, mysql has 3 instances by default, mysql/test/myisam [23:09] bekks, any idea? [23:09] ikonia: well just in general, if you used a scalable php framework and you had one dedicated server, could you reliably host 300,000+ monthly uniques? [23:09] Phoenixz: so it does require an instance, although it works different than postfres [23:09] postgres [23:09] andyk: it depends on many things as I've said, there is no "general" [23:09] andyk: you'd need to do a sizing and scaling exercise [23:10] ikonia: From the URL I just showed, all stuff I try requires postgres to be already running.. How would I create a DB? [23:10] ikonia: sudo -u postgres createdb mydb requires postgresql to already be running, which it doesnt... [23:11] I need help importing packages from an aptoncd iso without burning a disk. All I have is a memory stick. [23:11] Phoenixz: interesting, [23:11] moystard: You could use a .xinitrc maybe [23:11] Phoenixz: what was the name of the package you installed [23:12] postgresql [23:12] Lehthanis: mount the iso, add it to your sources [23:12] SIFTU: Interesting> http://linuxgeekforu.blogspot.com/2011/07/making-ubuntu-104-fast-by-loading-it-to.html [23:12] Phoenixz: did sudo -u postgres psql postgres work [23:13] ikonia: http://pastebin.com/HKbaz147 [23:13] ikonia: sudo -u postgres psql postgres gives same error [23:13] lelo: nice :) [23:14] Phoenixz: ls -la /var/run/postgresql [23:14] ikonia: tried that, empty [23:14] bekks, that was not my plan, I am keeping the current xsession and try to configure from here [23:14] ikonia: the dir exists, but is empty [23:14] Phoenixz: ok, so the socket files not there confirming it's not running === BaNz is now known as Alex`aw [23:14] Hello - How might I go about installing fonts on a headless server (to be used by GTK/Pango code) ? [23:14] ikonia: correct.. [23:15] ikonia: So that would indicate there IS a problem, right? [23:15] Phoenixz well, very possible, what command are you using to start the binary [23:16] ikonia: service postgresql start... gives nothing, directly returns to prompt [23:16] Phoenixz: ls -la /etc/init.d | grep post [23:16] Phoenixz: anything in the log? (/var/log/postgresql/) [23:16] ikonia: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1028 Aug 5 2010 postgresql [23:17] BBL, stuff to do [23:17] Phoenixz: ok - so that looks spot on at least [23:17] tonyyarusso: /var/log/postgre/ is also empty [23:17] Phoenixz: psotgresql, not postgre [23:17] Phoenixz: are you running the service command as root? (with sudo) [23:17] dkog You can use apt-get to install font packages. [23:18] tonyyarusso: psotgresql? [23:18] tonyyarusso: tried both with sudo and as root [23:18] Phoenixz: postgresql, rather [23:18] back in a short while [23:18] How do I redirect display from Ubuntu server to a desktop? [23:19] plummerb: ah that's easy, thanks. Looks like I can just copy my own fonts into any font dir and run fc-cache myself too. [23:19] Phoenixz: try /etc/init.d/postgresql start [23:19] dkog that should do it. [23:21] I know that Ubuntu server doesn't have X but if I want to run Virtualbox for example, how would I redirect the output to a desktop system? [23:21] Siftu how do I add it to sources? It tells me to insert a disk when I click add volume in package manager. [23:22] I have the disk mounted [23:22] plummerb: if you want to run X apps you have to install X on the server. You can redirect the output using, for instance, X-forwarding to a client, but X has to be running on the server [23:22] help.ubuntu.com says I can use an X11 client and forward the connections over ssh to my desktop... === M4rc3l is now known as zz_M4rc3l [23:22] th0r: and when you say X has to be running on the server, you of course mean the libs have to be installed. X doesn't have to be running though. [23:23] imbezol: I just always assumed it was running when I installed the libs...but you may be right on that [23:23] Yeah, help.ubuntu.com says to run specific X11 clients? What does that mean? [23:23] th0r: the server has to run where it will display.. ie on your desktop [23:24] I have an Lubuntu desktop I want to forward the output to. [23:24] plummerb: just install something simple like xterm. then ssh -X servername, and run xterm [23:24] Any body know how to add an iso to package manager as a source or am I doing it all wrong? [23:25] plummerb: ubuntu may try to add xorg to your default runlevel but you can use rcconf or similar util to remove it [23:26] plummerb: (assuming the server is ubuntu too..) [23:26] imbezol Install xterm on the server? [23:26] yep [23:27] imbezol https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerGUI says to use xauth... Any idea what that means? [23:27] i installed the "additional drivers" on my hp dv6 with dual GPUs (intel and AMD), i rebooted then tried to run teh catalyst control center and then got http://imgur.com/7o4m3 any ideas ? [23:28] plummerb: you can check but i think if you try to install xterm it will probably pull in xauth as a dependency [23:28] NoReGreT What version of Ubuntu? [23:28] plummerb: 11.10 [23:29] NoReGreT There are known issues with using ATI with 11.10 [23:29] plummerb: the other thing you'll have to check is /etc/ssh/sshd_config as you need to have X11Forwarding set to yes for it to work [23:30] damn it [23:30] NoReGreT I have to use the 2D version of Unity for it to work on my system at home. [23:31] Where am I supposed to add new modelines to? I added some things to default in /etc/gdm/Init but it doesn't give me the new mode in monitors. [23:32] imbezol So I don't need to install xserver-xorg? [23:32] hey guys i want to buy a new laptop, what is more important to have a i5 instead of a i3 or to have an nvidia 1G instead or 512? [23:32] esmirlin Depends on what you are doing with the thing... [23:32] Hi all, I dropped an ssh -X session but that session hasn't timed out on the remote machine yet. Is there any way I can get the instance of the program I was running back up? I have unsaved data [23:32] plummerb: don't think so, nope [23:32] esmirlin Doing mathmatical computations? Go with i5 [23:33] JokesOnYou77: No. [23:33] esmirlin Playing games? Go with the nvidia 1G [23:33] bekks: :( but top on the remote machine still shows my program as running [23:34] JokesOnYou77: Yes, but you cant get back to it. [23:35] bekks: crap. Thanks anyways I guess [23:35] Can anyone help me with adding a mounted iso as a source in package manager? [23:36] Darn, got kicked. [23:37] Add volume keeps asking for a disk [23:38] I have a hard drive that I am not able to access with mounting but the drive has a file system . I have a lot of information that I want to copy. Is dd the best command from the job [23:39] I think that this is more like it ! http://paste.ubuntu.com/733679/ [23:40] Gah! [23:40] hi [23:41] Hi guys, my unity is not showing sys settings app, what is it command name? [23:41] question... a package I'm building requires /usr/include/cdefs.h http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=cdefs.h&mode=exactfilename&suite=karmic&arch=any says libc6-dev should have that file but I can't find it on my ubuntu installation [23:42] How do I add a mounted iso as a source in package manager? [23:42] any idea how I could get /usr/include/sys/cdefs.h on ubuntu? [23:43] Lehthanis You add the mount point as the source. [23:43] btw sorry for the typo in the first message the file I'm looking for is /usr/include/sys/cdefs.h [23:43] Lehthanis Whish package manager? [23:43] How do I know what the mount point is? [23:44] if i wanted to mirror a directory on a hard drive named /home/user1/Downloads to /media/datafolder could i simply do rsync -avr source destination ? [23:44] Can someone help me with an issue that I'm having with a hard drive? [23:44] Synaptic I guess [23:44] are there any switches that are critical that i could be missing? [23:44] Neldogz: yea but be aware of how trailing /'s work [23:44] I made a iso in aptoncd that I need to get on this offline machine. [23:45] Lehthanis Were you able to mount the iso? [23:45] Yeah it shows up in the places menu [23:46] thank you riffautae.. I will make sure to add the / to designate these as directories and not files [23:46] i totally missed that [23:46] Lehthanis What is it in the Places menu? [23:46] I have huge performance issues with Docky, the animations are not smooth at all :( [23:47] hello [23:47] Update-CD1.iso [23:47] Lehthanis How did you mount it? [23:47] help [23:48] Is that normal to have performance issues with the proprietary nvidia drivers & docky? [23:48] Right click - open with archive mounter [23:48] hello all [23:49] Lehthanis Ok, you have to actually "mount" the iso as a file system first. Check this out: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountIso [23:49] Lehthanis After that you should be able to browse to the packages in the package manager. [23:50] WWW.KAMGOO.COM Free Webchat with pictures, games, chat rooms, profiles. Meet people from around the world. WWW.KAMGOO.COM [23:50] Nice... [23:51] When you put your hand in a bunch or kamgoo that was once your friends face... LOL [23:52] plummerb: ): i dont get it [23:53] I was channeling George C. Scott from Patton... ;) [23:55] With that failure I'm out. [23:55] Plummerb now that I added it how do I find the specific packages that are there? [23:56] Great he's gone [23:56] Lehthanis: I PM'ed you the links [23:57] Question... I bought Steel Storm from the software center back when I still used Natty and I'm not on Oneric... The game doesn't work in 11.10 due to the repository and package being for Natty (for some reason, it is a clean install of 11.10) can someone help me by explaining how to change the repository [23:57] Sh3r1ff: about ubuntu power drainage: Nope, even if I set the brigthness to the least possible setting, and disable wireless networks, windows 7 still lasts 1.5 hours longer than Ubuntu [23:57] Hi all - I'm having a bit of a nightmare here. I'm trying to configure my Ubuntu 11.10 desktop (amd64) as an XBMC box for use with my TV, and I've got two problems that are causing me grief. Problem 1: I get no sound whatsoever over the HDMI link. No matter what I do (yes, I've tried all the options in the hardware tab on the sound settings) [23:58] Problem 2: I cannot get my xmbc user account to auto-login with xbmc as it's default session. [23:58] Like, WIndows 7 with moderately high screen brightness and constant network action. Of course, if you disable wifi and set screen brigtness to low in windows, you get even wider gap [23:58] I'm now on Oneric* [23:58] Does anyone have any experience with either of these? [23:58] figured it out
