[00:00] jesse__: *thumbs up* [00:00] how can i create a link their that will execute to whereever the file is on the pc [00:00] well, I'm off. Cheers! [00:00] fellayaboy, does your whateverprogram have a flag to specify the location of the .conf file [00:00] Like ./whateverprogram --conf=~/configure.conf [00:00] i think so [00:00] fellayaboy: What program are you actually trying to use? === ermo is now known as ermo^ [00:00] ermo^: Exactly [00:01] robro ok thanks [00:01] none in particular i just want to do this for future referenece but im using mupen64 that i downloaded from the site which is just a folder with the files in it [00:01] ermo: Thanks again [00:01] GhostWolf, No problem :) [00:02] ermo guess that patch wouldnt do much for this old ass laptop [00:02] doesnt have pcie or anything [00:02] just an old dell. [00:02] fellayaboy: Just run "sudo apt-get install mupen64plus" (which, by the way, is better than mupen64). Manually installing things is generally to be avoided, and will be different depending on the individual application so there is no general solution. [00:03] Jordan_U, i understand but im not really trying to install mupen....im usign it as an example in case i find another program out their thats not in the repos i want to learn how to do this [00:04] oh i missed IRC so muuucchh!! [00:04] i coudl just dump all the files in local/bin and it will probably work but thats too messy..theirs folders and conf files and png files etc [00:04] fellayaboy: Like I said before, there is no general solution. What would work for mupen64 would not work for 95% of other applications. [00:05] right..ok [00:05] is there anyone that can explain to me what a kernel is? [00:06] arduino_mex: don't be silly. [00:06] arduino_mex: it's the thing that controls the linux operating system [00:06] arduino_mex: it IS linux [00:06] im serious i get around things pretty well but i would like to understand it profoundly [00:06] arduino_mex: just told you what it is [00:07] thanks [00:07] so the kernel is between the person and the OS correct? [00:07] In computing, the kernel is the main component of most computer operating systems; it is a bridge between applications and the actual data processing done at the hardware level. [00:07] arduino_mex: it IS the OS [00:07] arduino_mex if you want to understand what a kernal is and what it does, I would suggest you start reading up on Operating systems. [00:07] arduino_mex: quick google will give you the info you want [00:08] you're a bit beyond the scope of this channel [00:08] ok [00:08] sorry for bothering [00:08] not a bother [00:08] is there a book you know i could read [00:09] arduino_mex: quick google will give you the info [00:09] Is there a standard way to add /usr/sbin to the PATH? [00:09] Thiagovfar: it should be already [00:09] ikonia: for root, it is, for normal users, it's not. [00:09] Thiagovfar: you shouldn't be using root - it's a locked account [00:10] Thiagovfar: you should be usig sudo [00:10] using [00:10] ikonia: crap, wrong channel [00:10] sorry for that [00:10] not a problem [00:11] Thiagovfar, export PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin [00:11] That appends /usr/sbin to your current $PATH [00:11] may i ask what is the purpose of this channel? like what sorto of questions are allowed [00:11] sprayy: Thanks [00:11] arduino_mex: ubuntu technical support [00:11] gotcha [00:11] On Ubuntu 10.04, is there a way to completely rebuild database of installed packages? I had a corrupt /var/lib/dpkg/status. I deleted it, which was probably a mistake. Now, synaptic wants to install a bunch of packages thare are already there. [00:11] tthxs [00:12] ikonia: To put what Thiagovfar said another way, "kvm-ok" will not work as a normal user, but "sudo kvm-ok" will, even though kvm-ok does not require root priveleges (but is in /usr/sbin/). [00:12] If you want it permanent, add that line to your shell profile. In my case it's /etc/profile for all users, or just ~/.profile for your user [00:13] Jordan_U: totally missed what you're saying, sorry [00:13] ikonia: Try running "kvm-ok" as a normal user in Ubuntu 11.10. [00:13] Jordan_U: not got access to ubuntu at the moment [00:14] cpu-checker is not installed [00:14] ikonia: On my machine I get "kvm-ok: command not found", while "/usr/sbin/kvm-ok" runs successfully, as does "sudo kvm-ok". Becuase /usr/sbin/ is included in root's $PATH, but not a normal user's. [00:15] i am trying to locate javajdk , and which jdk whick javajdk returns nothing [00:15] hey, can anyone help me with orchestra please? [00:16] hello, can someone please help me with orchestra? [00:16] ikonia: Which illustrates the problem, and shows that it has to do with $PATH being different for the root account without ever logging in as root. [00:16] just got ubuntu up and running and removed unity completely and made gnome classic my default. [00:16] whoever: try "which javac" java jdk is not a program, I think [00:16] i'll take your word on it [00:16] Thanks for the help guys. [00:16] !anyone | three18ti [00:16] three18ti: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [00:16] removed nautilus and installed pcmanfm and was wondering if I need to make it default in some sort of settings? [00:17] brb [00:18] Stanley00, thanks, that was not my first attempt asking though... I have gone from extremely specific to extremely general, and you are the first to even acknowledge my existence... I thought I was talking to myself. [00:18] three18ti: just ask your real question here and wait, if someone knew the answer, they will answer you. [00:19] ok so anyways, does someone have an answer to my question? [00:19] Stanley00: which javac doesnt return anything [00:19] I'm back people [00:19] when replacing nautilus with pcmanfm do I need to make something say it is now the default manager? [00:19] whoever: are you sure you have installed java jdk? [00:20] On a default ubuntu install, does cron do anything vital to the stability of the system or can I just disable it? [00:20] Stanley00, how many times should I ask the same question? Based on your logic (ask and if someone knows they will answer), then no one knows how to reset the orchestra login... doesn't seem likely to me. [00:20] Stanley00: ues i can comfile and run java [00:20] Do not go see the immortals. 300 fake [00:20] who is skilled with gnome classic? [00:21] Hello, how do I reset the Orchestra login? I reset the cobbler login, but this does not seem to affect the orchestra web login. Thanks. [00:21] Immortals was good. [00:21] severian: possibly check out answer #4 on this page: http://askubuntu.com/questions/4834/how-do-i-rebuild-a-corrupt-dpkg-status-file [00:21] patience [00:21] An interesting take on Theseus. [00:21] worrow: ask your question [00:21] !patience | three18ti [00:21] three18ti: 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/ [00:21] I thought it ok, but didn't live up to the hype [00:22] whoever: it looks likely you have installed java jre, not java jdk [00:22] how do I remove the bottom taskbar? I have one at the top and one at the bottom. [00:22] I want to move the top one to the bottom and remove the one on the bottom [00:22] worrow: hold alt and right click [00:23] worrow: what's your ubuntu version? I think just simple right click, remove will do it [00:23] Stanley00, thanks for the words of encouragement... [00:23] rob: 11.10 [00:23] Stanley00: if i want a perminant export stick the lines in /etc/bash/.bashrc or ~.bashrc [00:23] whoever ~/.bashrc [00:23] Rob: that worked wonderfully. [00:23] Rob: next question is about nautilus [00:24] whoever: it depends on how you want to export, /etc/bash/.bashrc for system wide [00:24] worrow have you tried nautilus elementary? [00:24] whoever: and ~.bashrc just for your account [00:24] Hello. How do I change default application for "ftp://" urls in 11.10? [00:24] I removed nautilus as it was sooo slow [00:25] I installed pcmanfm [00:25] should everything just continue working? [00:25] Stanley00: ok, i just aptitude search jdk and openjdk 7 and openjre 7 are installed [00:26] Hello, Is there something to connect to a remote computer? But something as easy as TeamViewrer [00:26] worrow: Should be ok, I suggest you add the lubuntu ppa if you use pcmanfm [00:26] braintorch: right click properties [00:26] open with [00:26] Osmodivs: ssh or vnc [00:26] Osmodivs: vino is in a default install [00:26] vino, I'll try that [00:26] Osmodivs: many apps have web interfaces too :) [00:27] i'm on ubuntu though [00:27] ActionPa1snip: So, what do you recommend? === kendrickLeiter is now known as Spike_Kendrick [00:27] I will transfer some things and test [00:27] Osmodivs: depends what you are doing on the remote system. [00:28] whoever: you mean openjdk was installed? It's strange, but what is your real question? [00:28] Configure a PC, basic stuff on synaptic [00:28] Osmodivs: just use teamviewer, if you like it [00:28] good evening guys! Im trying to delete a partition here, but it tells me: Please unmount any logical partitions having a number higher than Please unmount any logical partitions having a number higher than 8. The partition Im trying to delete is "sda8" (not over 8) and its not mounted :S Do they mean that i have to unmount my home and root folder that im using for ubuntu now when im writing even if thats not the partition i want to delete? [00:28] Hi, my Ubuntu won't reconnect my iPad. Why ? [00:28] Sorry for a long text... [00:28] On a default ubuntu install, does cron do anything vital to the stability of the system or can I just disable it? [00:29] ActionPa1snip: I remember connecting with x11vnc, but I don remember how. I mean, I read the wiki, but I just can't do all that password stuff === andy_ is now known as Guest44801 [00:30] Question: What is the advantage of using a network bridge (br0 interface) to iptables NAT? [00:30] Or, rather, why use the bridge-utils at all? [00:30] whoever: I know how to change preffered application for file type. Question is how to change preffered application for a _url_ type. Let's say someone post ftp link in IRC. ftp://kernel.org for example. I click it and it opens in firefox. How do I change that? [00:30] brjannc, Thank you. That seems to have done what I need. Synaptic is back to installing updates. [00:30] brjannc: Well, I wanted to use something lighter [00:30] I use Lubuntu, you know? [00:31] schime: are your home and root on sda too? [00:31] Severian: glad to hear it :) [00:31] Osmodivs: ah, understood [00:31] stanley00 yes they are [00:31] schime: then, I recommend you use a liveUSB to delete the partition. [00:31] Osmodivs: so updates basically? and installs? [00:31] Osmodivs: is that all? [00:32] stanley00 i have 3 OSes w7, ubuntu 11.10 and linux mint 11 (thats the partitions im trying to delete) [00:32] Yeah, I want to know what's hapening in my brotheres PC, 1000 miles away [00:32] braintorch: don't know i think it opens in default browser [00:32] nope. [00:32] Osmodivs: you can update with ssh in a terminal using apt-get [00:32] anyone have a good link on installing ubuntu on a Mac Mini [00:32] stanley00 do u think it would work delete them in the installation of a new OS? (pinguy OS) [00:33] "http://" urls opens in default browser [00:33] Osmodivs: you can read the output of: ps -ef | less and see what processes are running and such [00:33] "ftp://" opens in firefox for some reason. [00:33] ActionPa1snip: Openshh? [00:33] schime: some OS installer will, as Ubuntu's. [00:34] can anyone help me get my wifi card to be detected on wireshark? I have ubuntu 11.10 [00:34] braintorch, That would be because they designed it to handle ftp sites. [00:34] Osmodivs: install openssh-server and you can connect to port 22 using putty (Windows) or run: ssh user@server in Linux [00:34] stanley00 okey, pinguy OS is based on ubuntu so might work then [00:34] Osmodivs: if you are external to the LAN you are connecting to you will need to setup port forwarding or virtual server in your router, to allow the traffic through [00:34] ActionPa1snip: Does the other PC needs to have Openssh? [00:34] three18ti: have you tried asking your orchestra question in #ubuntu-server? [00:34] schime: I hope so. [00:34] stanley00 ill try that first before the liveUSB. thx! might come back.. :P [00:34] schime: :) [00:34] braintorch, Maybe I misunderstood. Are you asking why nautilus would use firefox to open ftp? [00:35] Osmodivs: the system you are connecting to will need openssh-server installed [00:35] Guest44801: and did you run wireshark as root? [00:36] three18ti: one of the orchestra devs' blogs notes that about a dozen ubuntu developers with orchestra experience hang out there, so you might have more luck :) [00:36] haha i just found that... is there anyway to make it so i dont have to every time? [00:37] So how can I do the SSH/sftp on windows? [00:37] Guest44801: you can edit the .desktop file in /usr/share/applications/ [00:37] dose that work in unity? [00:37] hey is there an alsa 1.0.24 pkg for 2.6.32-25 pae? [00:38] Severian: my case is why pidgin use firefox to open ftp. But anyway there must be some option in the deepest of gtk3 or gnome or whatever rules by how urls handled in gtk applications. [00:38] Guest44801: yep, the file is wireshark.desktop [00:38] JoshR1, winscp, putty [00:38] Hi, my Ubuntu won't reconnect my iPad. Why ? [00:38] Ok, what should i cahnge? [00:38] Guest44801: add gksu in the exec line :D [00:38] lupus__: want to mount the sd¿ what iOS version do you use¿ [00:38] Guest44801: it will lokk like this "Exec=gksu wireshark" [00:40] gimme a few and ill find out how it works...

[00:42] lupus__: Connect in what way? === flack is now known as flack-Z [00:43] NDPMACBOOKPRO: recognize, sorry [00:44] somehow i cant edit it... the filename i found was just "wireshark" with the logo [00:44] braintorch. according to a few references, that is a gnome setting. I don't know where it is now that we have moved to gnome 3 libraries under Unity. [00:44] Found it. If anybody anybody interested here's the way to change how urls handled from 11.04: http://jarrpa.net/2011/10/28/creating-custom-url-handlers-in-ubuntu-11-04-11-10-gnome-3-0/ [00:45] where would my autostart folder be located? [00:45] Guest44801: try running "gksu gedit /usr/share/applications/wireshark.desktop" [00:45] for user-wide configuration /usr/share/applications duplicated in ~/.local/share/applications [00:46] its blank... [00:46] NDPMACBOOKPRO: any idea? [00:46] lupus__: Sorry no. What software are you using to connect to the iPad? [00:46] no software [00:46] Guest44801: just a min... [00:47] lupus_ what version of ubuntu? [00:47] only trying to get it recognized by ubuntu [00:47] 11.10 [00:47] lupus_ well, there goes that idea [00:47] lupus__: how about you answer people trying to help you¿ again: want to mount SD¿ what ubuntu version do you use¿ what iOS version do you use¿ [00:47] lupus__: when you connect it, run: dmesg | tail -n 10 it may give clues [00:47] I'm waiting in line for some aid [00:47] anyone tell me how to upgrade also to 1.0.24 with the pae kernel? [00:48] lupus, you could always get a virtual machine... thats what i used for years... [00:48] Guest44801: I cant be, you installed wireshark from Ubuntu Software Center? [00:48] theborger: there is an audio dev ppa [00:48] xangua sorry. 11.10 [00:48] don't know what ios [00:48] how can i check? [00:48] new ipad [00:48] ActionPa1snip: can you point me to a readme? [00:48] lupus__: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:48] virtual machine? how to do it ? [00:48] ActionPa1snip: i followed this http://jaysdesktop.blogspot.com/2011/10/enabling-hdmi-audio-out-in-ubuntu-1004.html and it is not working [00:48] theborger: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [00:48] lupus__: well if you can't mount it, and it's brand new it probably uses iOS 5 [00:48] yeah, i think the .desktop and shit was changed from gnome... [00:49] ok? [00:49] yes, it's the latest ios xang [00:49] ActionPa1snip: that is going to install all the new pkg if i run upgrade all i need is alsa [00:49] Guest44801: are you sure you type the file path correct? [00:49] I don't know what happened but I can no longer boot into ubuntu and booting into recovery console says "whiptail command not found" and now most of the commands don't work (like sudo). [00:50] using normal boot, the screen goes blank [00:50] lupus__: go to Software Center - Edit - Sources and enable Proposed and Backports Updates, see if there is a "libimoviledevide" update....if there IS upgrade and Be Happy [00:50] ActionPalsnip: it says new USB using ehci_hcd [00:51] positive... when i was installing voodoo the guy that helped me told me he didn't know how to help me create a shorcut because the .desktop files changed with unity [00:51] there is no uppgrade xangua [00:52] lupus__: did you run update manager and reload to see if there is one¿¿ [00:52] ActionPa1snip: that is going to install all the new pkg if i run upgrade all i need is alsa [00:52] after enabling proposed and backport updates lupus__ ¿ [00:52] guess ill just make a .sh and put a logo on it and place it on my launcher [00:52] Is it possible to repair or restore ubuntu as in Windows (follow-up to previous question)? [00:52] Guest44801: It's not changed much, I still use template to create a desktop file as I need it [00:53] what is the command to find the files for a program I run? [00:53] humm idk [00:53] the files may be in a couple of directorys [00:54] Guest44801: here is my template, in case you want it http://paste.ubuntu.com/744860/ [00:54] Guest44801: it depends, if you have your home partiton apart you could reinstall without loosing your documents [00:54] Thanks, that helps alot... [00:55] what I said above was for FusionX ;) [00:55] Thats been the 1 thing holding me back from using Linux full time [00:55] The lack of something as good as Windows Restore or Apple's Time Machine [00:55] xangua: Unfortionatly, i dont [00:55] Guest44801: and about the wireshark.desktop, did you edit it? [00:56] Stanley00: workin on it [00:57] Guest44801: here's wireshark.desktop : http://pastebin.com/P3SGUnyU [00:57] Greetings - virt-manager doesn't seem to complete a quem+ssh connection in 11.10, is there an updated version somewhere? [00:57] if im halfway through cloning a git repo, and i kill it, does it clean up after itself [00:57] it is almost identical to origin. Just edited it to launch with gksudo [00:57] xangua: ?? [00:58] braintorch: do i need to edit any of that? [00:58] Guest44801: here is my wireshark.desktop, added gksu, you can put it in ~/.local/share/applications too [00:59] Is there a way to make my laptop with Ubuntu a media server for my ps3?

[01:01] Guest44801: you are welcome :) === sprayy is now known as spray [01:03] Hi I've got a reasonably straightforward question about accomplishing something at the command line. Not sure if this is the right room to ask though. [01:03] Stanley00 and briantorch: thank you both very much... [01:03] Not sure if it has to be ubuntu specific. [01:04] Guest44801: I just was fixing similar problem. :) [01:04] tkendrick: what do you think is going to happen next? ;) [01:04] briantorch: i never knew about that the applications folder automaticly shows up in the unity search [01:06] ;imked [01:06] Guest44801: haha, you have to use the desktop file from braintorch, cause mine wont work at all. LOL [01:07] Is there an equivalent script that is run upon logout/shutdown/reboot akin to /etc/rc.local for logging in? [01:07] Stanley00: lol good thing i did... [01:08] Guest44801: neither I. Though I don't use Unity. I disabled it and use Compiz + awn + Cardapio combo. [01:08] Guest44801: I didnt know that if tryexec is equal to exec, it wont run... smartly =)) [01:08] robertzaccour, I use ushare with this config file: http://pastebin.com/BL3fYMgr [01:08] Icehawk78: for logins .bashrc [01:09] robertzaccour: the config file says to use dpkg-reconfigure, but I use nano and just restart ushare, it works for both my PS3 and XBox360 [01:09] ablyss: No, for log-out. I apparently have to do some weird stuff with my switchable graphics card or else it will run the fan at full speed before shutting down, but I don't especially want to have to run a bash script to shut down my machine rather than using the built in controls [01:09] I've got a text file full of data, single column. I need to lower the precision of the numbers and output it to a new file. Not sure how to go about it. [01:10] Does anyone know if it is possible to make an animated GDM login screen? [01:11] tkendrick: if you have a favorite scripting language, I would use that. Do you /really/ want to do it using only bash? [01:11] tkendrick: Or you could likely use libreoffice calc [01:12] I'm trying to do it over an ssh tunnel i should mention sorry. [01:12] what do u mean by "lower the precision" [01:12] lose sig figs [01:13] I'm not really a scripter i'm afraid, fairly new to this whole buisness, but libreoffice would take a lot of copy and pasting === Logan_ is now known as Eating [01:14] just wondering if there was a standard program that has this sort of function. [01:15] Yay, my new ubuntu server router is operational. [01:15] tkendrick: From a shell, you'd be looking at probably putting it through a one liner python/ruby script, but that's more relevent to the respective languages. [01:16] i was playing with awk but i couldn't figure it out. [01:16] wAh, that too [01:16] tkrndrick, what does your data file look like? [01:17] bout 30000 lines of numbers each about 9 sig figs [01:17] need to reduce it to maybe 4 [01:18] tkendrick, is it just a single real number with decimal, or is it a 9 digit integer, or? What I'm trying to get at is, how does each line look? [01:19] tkendrick: you haven't answered my question but assuming you don't want to use some scripting language like python or perl and want to stick with bash, you can do this easily using the 'printf' command [01:19] single real numbers forry === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [01:19] Is there a reason for sudo apt-get update to not update, and for Update Manager to post that it hasn't been updated for days/weeks even though I try to update every time it pops up? [01:20] i see, sorry jrib, I'm really not familiar with any scripting languages, or much bash either truth be told [01:21] Can you set someone's login shell to screen's executable? [01:22] tkendrick: here are some teaser commands to get you started: « printf '%.3f\n' 123.45678 », « while x in 1 2 3; do echo $x; done » (you'll want to use « read » to read in a line from your file but this is just an example of a while loop) [01:22] tkendrick: look at bc app [01:25] tkendrick: you could count the length and display the first 4, then subtract 4 from the length and display that many extra 0s [01:25] ActionPa1snip: it depends on whether tkendrick wants to truncate or round though [01:25] round ideally [01:25] jrib: I gues [01:25] tkendrick: can't you open that file in libreoffice as CSV, since it's only one column?

[01:48] szal: Thanks. Do you happen to know how they compare to Nvidia and ATi in terms of stability on Ubuntu? [01:49] it is linux game [01:49] based on quake 2 and 3 code === sanjid is now known as sanjid|away [01:49] vuarabei: Did you perhaps delete it from the file manager, and not empty the trash? [01:49] im using androirc right now will check it out later. [01:49] i empty trash and reboot system [01:50] vuarabei, you clean the trash? [01:50] vuarabei: why not just use software centre? [01:50] vuarabei, Is your problem that you are out of disk space for Linux? [01:50] vuarabei: or playdeb [01:50] ye i also use blrachbit [01:50] vuarabei, your not running in root are you in ubuntu? [01:51] ActionPa1snip: it dont work when i install from center so i make it from source [01:51] dragly: no, I've been using Nvidia for 7 years straight [01:51] anyone know where to put a script in 10.04 LTS to kill dpms and screensaver blanking? xset -dpms works from command line but adding it to "Startup Applications" doesn't seem to work [01:51] urlin2u: maybe i dunno)) [01:52] vuarabei: which release are you using? [01:52] szal: Pretty much same here. Looking for a new laptop and thought I should choose with high emphasis on compatibility for once :) [01:52] Severian my problam is that after install program i have 400 mb free space after delete program i still have 400 [01:53] Have had some variable experiences with both Nvidia and ATi, although not as much lately.

[01:54] vuarabei: getdeb has a later version than the repos, may help [01:54] is there a way to make someone to upstream this patch/bug? - patch been applied by user almost in the september - and its still noe yet in the tree! https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/774740 how long you wany me to have this memory leak zzzzzz [01:54] Launchpad bug 774740 in metacity (Ubuntu) "Huge memory leak in metacity" [Medium,In progress] [01:54] how do I setup autologin?> [01:55] ActionPa1snip: i delete it manually [01:55] in the autostart folder is there anything I have to leave there? [01:55] worrow: I think it is under User Accounts [01:55] vuarabei, I can't tell from what you just said. The program may not be very big. If you reinstall it, you can open synaptic, look at properties and see where the program is installed. Then, remove it and check the location you just found to see that the files were deleted.

[01:57] vuarabei: not sure there dude [01:58] )) [01:58] Sounds like vuarabei wants to delete a pacakge and expects space on his drive to free afterwards, Severian. [01:58] so after i install AA i have 400 mb free space///after i delete AA i still have only 400 mb free space///that is my problam [01:59] vuarabei: does a reboot help? [01:59] It usually does delete space. Often, it does not free much space. [01:59] also i delete local repo from usr/cash/arhive and no free space added too [01:59] Severian: dont get me wrong but ubuntu is aiming to be a foundation and it manages the ubuntu, patch bas been made by the community in the september - why its still not in the tree? how long it will be stalled there? this is getting ridicolous and makes me want to go out from linux -- too bad theres no other way to go...

[02:03] vuarabei: you should uninstall or remove never use delete for an installed program [02:04] robin0800: it wasn't a deb [02:04] hemangpatel, Mark Shuttleworth sold a company for a lot of money. He took some of the money and started Canonical, which produces Ubuntu. Google for him for more details. [02:04] yes i found .. thanks.. [02:05] ubuntu provides some special features in new version ? [02:05] hemangpatel: sometimes, yes [02:05] hemangpatel: go to ubuntu.com and find out ;) [02:05] every version has new features. Look for the release page for the release. [02:07] hemangpatel: 11.10 comes only with unity - still can make gnome come back - depends how u use pc - if you have a 50-60 terminals like me then you wont like unity - clicking on that crazy button just to see a huge list of terminals and later to look which one i wanted... errr... ive meant if you have only webbrowser and few things you might like it..

Unity is simply a shell FOR gnome [02:09] well autologin is selected and yet I am still prompted for my password [02:09] meomic, lubuntu and xubuntu are nice desktops that work fine for large numbers of machinces managed through vnc. I do that at home. [02:09] is there some other setting in gnome classic session? [02:09] is ubuntu provides free shipping of cd now ? [02:10] hemangpatel: no, shippit was closed afaik [02:10] yeah i know but w/o compiz there is no unity - and i dont use compiz - had so many crasher of the os cuz of it - metacity is fine - just that crazy memory leak [02:10] hmmm. ok [02:10] unity 2d does not use compiz.

[02:13] still cant find wtf [02:13] Guest2919: you can't replace a shell with a DE, it makes no sense [02:13] thats why that memory leak in metacity is driving me crazy.... - im rebooting every 30-40 days - after that tieme xorg - cuz of metacity leak is about 1,3 gb of ram [02:13] so i'm in fedora 15 and i want to mount my ubuntu partition [02:13] Guest2919: unity isn't a desktop like gnome is [02:13] it is in file system or in my home folder?

[02:16] ActionPa1snip: i see. im not aware of xfce. i hope it is as customisable as 2.32 used to be. thanks again. [02:16] ActionPa1snip, I get too many X lockups with xfce. I suggest Lubuntu. It has been stable. and quick. [02:16] ! notunity | Guest2919 [02:16] Guest2919: 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 [02:16] iuriguilherme, yes it is...but i installed ubuntu with wubi [02:17] so im not sure what the ubuntu partition is called [02:17] egoflux: you are trying to access this partition on windows then? [02:17] and df -h doesnt show [02:17] iuriguilherme, no from fedora [02:17] egoflux: well i would figure where is your fedora partition on /dev [02:17] Severian: oh I know LXDE, I've been using it since Karmic :) [02:17] egoflux: ubuntu partition should be in the same device [02:18] ubottu: thank u. useful information. [02:18] Guest2919: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:18] egoflux: for example, if your fedora partition is on /dev/sda6 your ubuntu partition is the same thing but with another number instead of 6 [02:19] How do I check to see if my laptop has an integrated bluetooth card? [02:19] ubottu: for real? thanks anyhow. :) [02:19] Guest2919: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:19] iuriguilherme, i know that but when i do df -h there's no partition that could be ubuntus...its basically ntfs for windows and the fedora ext [02:20] egoflux, Maybe you installed Ubuntu using wubi. In that case Ubuntu is a file on the ntfs drive. [02:20] egoflux: well i suspect you erased that partition of yours [02:20] OMG!! [02:20] egoflux: nevermind, i just read that you used wubi [02:21] I FIND THIS FAKIN HIDEN TRASH WHERE UBOT SAy [02:21] egoflux: in that case Severian is right, it is not a partition, it is a file you should look for [02:21] AND THERE 1.8 gb [02:21] fuh [02:21] Thx to all ppl who try to help me [02:21] iuriguilherme, what could that file be called? === zkriesse_ is now known as zkriesse [02:22] wait, i think i found it [02:22] but now i need to know why it not send this files directly to trash [02:22] it's called root.disk [02:22] but how to i mount it? [02:22] vuarabei, take a read on what the designer says. http://howsoftwareisbuilt.com/2009/03/12/interview-with-agostino-russo-wubi-ubuntu/ [02:22] What log file would I look at to see who has ssh'd into my box? [02:22] vuarabei: try: find $HOME -type d -exec du -sh {} \; [02:23] vuarabei, If you used a command prompt and did a rm to delete the files, they don't go to trash. They just get deleted. [02:23] i just right click and choose delete [02:23] egoflux: well first you try to mount it with the mount command, if it doesn't work then you should try something like dd or ddrescue [02:23] Socky_, /var/log/auth.log [02:23] how to delete it properly [02:23] egoflux: i can't help you much because i have no idea how this file is encoded [02:23] thanks [02:24] and what to do now?delete all trash folder? [02:24] Socky_, have a look a 'who', 'w' and 'last' also [02:24] ok...let me tryt [02:24] vuarabei: if you delete those files they go to the expunged folder [02:24] what is expunged [02:25] vuarabei: it is another directory inside the main trash directory [02:25] vuarabei: if you delete the files insidie the files directory they'll go to expunged [02:25] i want to know why when i delete them they dont go in trash canon? they go to /root/.local/share/Trash [02:25] vuarabei: well, you deleted them as root [02:25] vuarabei: if you deleted as your user it will be in your users trash, not roots [02:26] vuarabei: maybe you used sudo rm or even opened your file manager as root to delte them [02:26] so if i delete as root they go /root/.local/share/Trash? [02:26] vuarabei: yes, becuase the user who is deleting is root [02:26] I have PasswordAuthentication set to no in /etc/ssh/sshd_config on ubuntu 11.10 however I can still ssh into this machine from another machine which as no keys set up, how is this possible?! [02:26] another question. my iphone 4 (ios 5) has crappy coordination with ubuntu. would anyone recommend jailbreaking it or should i switch to samsung galaxy s2 instead? thx. [02:27] hogu, has ssh been reloaded/restarted? [02:28] Guest2919: I'd get the galaxy, its sweeeet [02:28] Guest2919, sledgehammer, or shotgun are my votes [02:28] :D [02:29] @klamontagne, yes several times, I thought I was protected until now [02:29] but how i can delete them from /root/.local/share/Trash [02:29] iuriguilherme, got it working man...thanks for the help [02:29] @klamontagne, I was trying out a different machine and trying to set up keys and found i could connect without them [02:29] i try but i dont delete them [02:29] ActionPa1snip, urlin2u : thank u. will do. [02:30] hogu, if you try connecting as an invalid user, it will ask for a password anyway, but never work [02:30] @klamontagne, I can get my login shell [02:30] Guest2919: if you can and want it, it would be better than using a device that doesn't want you to use it ;) [02:31] hogu, Have you enabled ssh Agent forwarding? [02:31] whats a tool to count number of lines a file has [02:31] williamchan_, wc -l [02:31] thx [02:32] @klamontagne, not that I know of, I don't know what that is === iter_ is now known as iter [02:32] xangua: yeah, true. i purchased the iphone before getting introduced to ubuntu. now i regret it. thx though.

[02:39] ah ok [02:39] ubuntu-desktop on the target machine (server) [02:39] i dont believe its a client problem because I can ssh -X into a different server and it works fine [02:39] and check in your login-manager settings to see if X11 forwarding is allowed [02:40] boxybrown: any error msg? [02:40] the only things ive really found are "check sshd_config" or "delete .Xauthority" but ssd_config has XForwarding enabled and the other approach didnt work [02:40] williamchan_: Error: Can't open display: localhost:10.0 [02:40] boxybrown: is 'X11Forwarding yes' set in /etc/ssh/sshd_config [02:40] ActionPa1snip: yep === flapjacks is now known as songawee [02:41] nairb: where would that usually be? this is ubuntu-desktop, so its using gnome [02:41] im not sure (tend to use xubuntu) but i think it in your gdm config [02:41] boxybrown: http://hintsforums.macworld.com/archive/index.php/t-63872.html [02:42] Guys does msttcorefonts exist as a package anymore :) [02:42] i think under the system settings of the ubuntu menu [02:43] how to delete files from /root/.local/share/Trash? [02:44] ActionPa1snip: i'm pretty sure this isn't an OSX issue. I have the same problem when trying to SSH from Ubuntu to Ubuntu [02:44] @vuarabei: you, you must switch to root [02:44] sudo -i [02:45] i run my file manager with sudo but when i right ckick on files and use delete nothing happens [02:45] klamontagne, I found this "Overwritten by lwidentity: ChallengeReponseAuthentication no" ChallengeResponseAuthenticatino yes [02:45] I guess that was it [02:45] Arcademan, medibuntu.org [02:46] any other idea? I've been googling this forever [02:46] @vuarabei: use a terminal [02:46] sudo -i [02:46] what is -i? [02:47] login as root [02:47] to root's home dir and everything [02:48] @boxybrown, im certain its a setting disabled by default with your gdm's settings [02:48] hogu: this is irc not twitter loose the @ please [02:49] i make it then run file manager but stil nothing it sont delete [02:49] nairb: this is irc not twitter loose the @ please [02:49] nairb: okay, i'm looking around [02:49] is there something wrong with using the @ symbol? [02:49] (just curious) [02:50] @buarabei, you dont delete that folder [02:50] you empty your trash using 'gksu nautilus' [02:50] Hi, my computer is giving me a blank screen when I try to boot it. The fans are running and the hdd light is constant. I am not getting BIOS output on the monitor. [02:50] egoflux: no problem [02:51] phunyguy: yes it makes it hard to read and if you put it in a name it won't auto complete [02:51] sounds kind of nit-picky, no? [02:51] boxybrown, i know. im just used to using @signs when talking @work [02:52] phunyguy: It messes up people's auto complete. [02:52] autocomplete, meaning when you press /tab/ it doesnt put the whole name? [02:52] tusob - that sounds like something to contact your computer manufacture about, not the ubuntu irc channel [02:53] sounds like their problem, not yours. [02:53] nairb: I guess it's not really about ubuntu, but 1) there was no manufacturer since I made it from parts scavenged from the town dump, and 2) I know there are lots of nice people here :-D [02:54] phunyguy: meaning that @name won't trigger auto complete on some clients. [02:54] tusob, then go to #ubuntu-offtopic [02:54] WanderingEnder, what do you mean by autocomplete? [02:54] phunyguy: ahhh, I didn't know it existed… thx! [02:54] are you talking about notifications? [02:54] #ubuntu-offtopic isn't a support channel, keep that in mind. [02:54] because, that's not called "auto-complete" [02:58] Hey, I have a new Ubuntu server 11.10 running and I ran apt-get update and that worked, but every program I try to apt-get install I'm told there's no candidate, even for stuff in universe.

[04:09] JahtsoNut, I don't think so.. you'd probably have to edit the source code and rebuild gnome [04:09] yesh: type '/join #wine' in IRC and you will join the wine channel.

[04:19] being a complete newbie [04:19] irc-free: basic programming [04:19] big difference in battery life between ubuntu and ubuntu2d, that is between unity and unity2d [04:19] not literally BASIC [04:19] and, is it easier/more difficult compared to windows phone 7? [04:19] I wish it were a configurable option [04:19] i know that [04:20] that is, you could switch between unity and unity2d without logging out [04:20] irc-free: is that c#?

[04:26] i doubt you can, you'd need the appropriate libraries for asymmetric encryption [04:26] linux: you want sshd to accept incoming connections on something like 667? [04:27] i just want to make a script that can login into ssh and make a terminal window [04:28] linux: why did you ask about mIrc sockets? [04:28] somsip, I think s/he wants to write a ssh client in mirc script :-s [04:28] just like putty does [04:28] yeah what teddie says [04:28] linux: k - probably one for mirc experts [04:29] linux: if you run: ssh name@server you can use the terminal you run it in, you don't need another terminal [04:29] i can write sockets im an expert but i dont know how to talk to a ssh server. [04:29] linux: putty just spawns one for you because the windows cmd app is rubbish [04:30] no really just wanted to crack some servers using mIRC LOL [04:30] :p === zay_ is now known as Vladislas [04:31] why using mirc? [04:31] because im a scripter [04:32] linux: irssi uses perl scripts, same deal and its native [04:32] plus you can run it over ssh and screen and never have to disconnect! [04:32] linux: mirc uses its own language, irsi uses standard perl [04:33] only uses irssi [04:33] * ActionParsnip uses pidgin and irssi [04:33] perl has net:ssh.. mirc has no ssh libraries [04:33] linux: what are you doing with the ssh connection? It just seems like mirc is a weird way to go [04:33] hi, playing xvids stopped working... i have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed and up to date... anyone have any tips on how to fix this? same problem with movie player [04:33] to be fair, perl is a daunting language in a lot of ways [04:34] speaking of irssi is there any way to separate channel windows?

[04:34] xvids that i watched a couple days ago dont work now [04:34] ssureshot: could split the terminal if it supports it, not sure how it would work with nicks [04:35] @ActionParsnip it creates a new nickname with underscore === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [04:35] linux, since mirc has no ssh support or dlls, you will have to use a language which does, such as perl, ruby or python and find a dll you can use to glue python/etc to mirc, such as Python4mIRC.dll [04:35] sahat: hmm, i see [04:36] teddie, are you looking for a new irc client?

[04:37] for playing xvids [04:38] lol@jircii site [04:38] nice to see a site with personality [04:38] sahat: prob not what your looking for but i use highlight script so anytime my name is referenced it puts it in a window so i notice it, think it works on all channels connected to, so at least you dont have to switch back and forth to check on a reply [04:38] asdf-: try mplayer maybe... [04:38] tntc: I'm happy to ALT between channels :) I only use 3 [04:38] tntc, thanks [04:39] ActionParsnip: I use a screen -S irssi for each IRC server, and then alt between screens as well.

[04:45] ActionParsnip: thanks. I should check whether it's already been filed, right? [04:46] what im attempting is to install ubuntu onto a motorola xoom which currently runs android [04:46] make sure your dragging to the right [04:46] aeon-ltd: Read that on www.raspberrypi.org but admittedly the !arm link suggests otherwise. hmmm [04:46] kandinski: sounds like the other display is set to run on another xserver maybe? [04:46] ive compiled the kernel several times, it boots fine, if i dont try to start x it sits at a useless login [04:47] geo, everything is vainilla, and it's an Intel 3000 card [04:47] just using the Displays applet from the control center and the gear menu [04:47] http://news.cnet.com/8301-1001_3-20127838-92/ubuntu-linux-eyes-tablet-territory/ [04:47] i just saw ubuntu was trying to move to tablets to keep up [04:47] so i thought maybe someone from ubuntu would want to help [04:48] kandinski: im just going by memory cause not doing so not, but when i had dual displays going there were 2 options, to have it run on a seperate x server (wich will block you from dragin to one or another) or another option, that i cant think what it was called [04:48] Is there a reason that a console app would pull in x11-common? [04:49] geoffmcc: I remember those options from running nvidia [04:49] geoffmcc: but right now I have configured nothing, this is out-of-the-box vainilla ubuntu [04:49] ok well seems there's nobody around who shares ubuntu's opinion [04:49] enjoy your x86 [04:49] kandinski: ah i thought i had it on my intel too, my bad [04:50] geoffmcc: this is my first Intel laptop, so I don't know how it was before. But if it doesn't work out of the box, I rate it as a reportable bug. [04:52] kandinski: you can file it, but you will probably find it will get triaged to invalid as its more of a config problem but i may be wrong. [04:52] geoffmcc: precisely if it is a config problem, then it is an Ubuntu bug [04:53] geoffmcc, if it were a software problem, then it could be an upstream bug [04:53] in any case, I am going to ask around before posting it [04:53] geoffmcc: thanks [04:56] i remember at some point there was talk about having a guest account that would revert on logout. does this exist anyone else remember it? === milamber1 is now known as milamber [04:57] now my sound isn't working at all [04:57] except when i press backspace too much, it beeps [04:57] does extundelete recover deleted files of a deleted user?

[05:03] lotuspsychje: files are files. how long ago did you delete the user? [05:03] hiii [05:03] truesky: once you have the minimal install its basically the server, you can add the services you want [05:03] milamber: like couple days [05:03] ^.^ [05:04] lotuspsychje: have you used the machine? if so, you probably aren't going to have much success [05:04] milamber: yes [05:04] got it. I was wondering since I wanted to have the packages that come with the regular server install [05:05] Has Anyone Had A Problem Using Built In Mic With Skype?

[05:34] is there someone who wants to help me about this http://paste.ubuntu.com/744927/ [05:34] geoffmcc: how do i install those drivers? i dont see them on synaptic [05:34] irc-free: What version of Ubuntu do you have now? [05:34] irc-free: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/drivers-only [05:34] maverick [05:34] 10.10 [05:34] #ubuntu hello peoples would anyone know something or know someone who who i could get a hold of who would know about the savage drivers for a IBM T22? [05:34] SudoSpider: there are lots of changes between them, or there wouldn't be new releases. [05:35] irc-free: And you just upgraded from 8.10? [05:35] is there someone who wants to help me about this http://paste.ubuntu.com/744927/ [05:35] bowo: you really are better off asking in a ruby channel [05:35] geoffmcc: no, i only have installed 10.10 [05:36] i mentioned 8.10 because that's the last ubuntu that supports my old card [05:36] x1950pro [05:36] thanks [05:36] ok, what next? [05:36] irc-free: what' glxinfo says ? [05:36] lots of numbers [05:36] anything specific should it say? [05:37] it says software rasterizer [05:38] what do i do after sudo add-apt-get [05:38] irc-free: after added the ppa do sudo apt-get update [05:38] then? [05:38] i just did all that [05:38] and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade too? [05:38] i did that [05:38] What's this command again to append a line at the end of a text file from the terminal again? [05:39] irc-free: glxinfo |pastebinit [05:39] what that did, was create another entry [05:39] in boot [05:39] sorry for redundant 'again' [05:39] i now have two ubuntus in the boot menu [05:39] the new one, doesnt have internet enabled [05:39] itś a mess [05:39] irc-free: on direct-rendering part ? it says yes ? [05:39] |-) [05:39] how do i install xwin with kde [05:40] blackshirt: yes it says direct rendering: yes [05:40] but its stuck on software rasterizer [05:40] OldOneEye: in what way are you using this with Ubuntu? [05:41] im installing it on my ubuntu server [05:41] 11.10 [05:41] irc-free: try to install libgl1-mesa-dri packages [05:41] bad idea? [05:41] ill try [05:41] on apt-get or synaptic? [05:41] i got this 5u server im experimenting with and trying to learn linux on [05:42] !xwin [05:42] !xwin [05:42] irc-free: feel free [05:42] OldOneEye: I can only find references to xwin relating to Win32. Am I missing something? [05:42] another thing [05:42] what does sudo apt-get dist-upgrade do? [05:43] here, it downloaded lots of packages, and asked a reboot. and now i see two ubuntu entries [05:43] irc-free: it would upgrade your current release [05:43] irc-free: not a matter, feel free to try upgraded version [05:44] bleh, I don't know as though this is the place for this, but here goes, my baby website is working from localhost, but it isn't working from my IP address, my router should be configured properly(no easy way to test this, but it seems right) but it is still innaccessable from the outside, ideas? [05:45] irc-free: lsb_release -a |pastebinit #Send us resulting URL [05:47] http://pastebin.com/R6BPr17a [05:47] whats the best gui for ubuntu server [05:47] pings are even going through when pinging the domain name(properly even) [05:47] OldOneEye there isn't really, CLI it up, or install desktop [05:47] irc-free: glxinfo |pastebinit #And send resulting URL [05:47] OldOneEye you can even install desktop, on top of the server :) [05:47] http://pastebin.com/R6BPr17a [05:47] urs13: http://pastebin.com/R6BPr17a [05:48] sorry [05:48] has anyone tryed bt5? [05:48] http://pastebin.com/Z2HNzV4b [05:49] hilarie: i think you need setup webserver machine correctly to be accessible from out the world [05:49] blackshirt as far as I can tell, I have! [05:50] hilarie: your webserver is at the very least talking back to me [05:50] usr13: http://pastebin.com/Z2HNzV4b [05:50] brjannc are you getting the php page? [05:50] hilarie: it's not responding via web browser, but the port is open and responding to http requests. [05:51] goodnight, till 2morrow [05:51] How can I append a few characters at the end of /etc/fstab straight straight from command line. Was it cat??? I forget... [05:51] brjannc via webbrowser its just timing out for you as well? [05:51] stepnjump echo [05:51] stepnjump: cat >> /etc/fstab [05:52] stepnjump wait, echo overwrites I think [05:52] hilarie: yep. but it's not a router issue; I'd suspect a misconfiguration of httpd, or an error in your PHP [05:52] usr13, I know >> but that's not what I'm looking for [05:52] brjannc and if its working from localhost, its probably httpd? [05:52] stepnjump: So, what are you looking for? [05:53] hilarie: Seems likely, yes. Using apache? [05:53] brjannc yes [05:53] stepnjump: vim ? [05:53] Hello there I would like to make this http://imagebin.org/184979 my deafult unity setting. So when I click on the ubuntu thingy I will get that. [05:53] Thanks ^^ [05:53] I am lazy and am trying to type something like insert_command mount /dev/sdb3 /mount TO /etc/fstab type of thing [05:53] anyone know how ? [05:54] well vim is a text editor no? [05:54] let me try the vim command [05:54] !vim [05:54] 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 [05:54] hilarie: Okay, now the port is unresponsive. Take a look at the end of your apache logs in /var/log/apache, specifically access.log and error.log, and see if there's anything useful there [05:54] hilarie, how do you use echo? [05:54] any luck? [05:54] usr13: any luck? [05:55] I used to know... forgot! [05:55] seems like this is hopeless [05:55] stephnjump pretty sure it deletes the file and rewrites it [05:55] brjannc gedit /var/log/apache opened up an empty file [05:56] hilarie: yes, that's a directory :) the logs are /var/log/apache/error.log and /var/log/apache/access.log I believe [05:56] setphnjump: you can use echo "someting" | tee -a >> /some/files [05:56] setphnjump: try it before [05:56] hilarie: /var/log/apache2/ [05:56] hilarie, somsip: oops [05:57] hello? [05:57] blackshirt: the one > means replace the whole file and the >> means add to the end? [05:57] i did the glxinfo [05:57] somsip when going in manually noticed that :) [05:57] hilarie: k [05:57] Sorry, have to go [05:57] bobweaver: yep [05:57] brjannc: thanks [05:57] bobweaver: sure thing [05:58] My access logs are only show 127.0.0.1 [05:58] hi there , my peers on LAN are not able to access my machines port 80 by doing http://192.168.1.10 [05:58] brjannc: I always get them confused O_o [05:58] what is blocking that ? [05:58] does ubuntu have some sort of internal firewall? [05:58] bobweaver: yeah, >> add to the last line [05:59] I have a question/issue [05:59] !ufw >> hilarie [05:59] hilarie: That's odd; I got a 200 OK response after requesting /index.htm, so it should have logged that... [05:59] !ufw | hilarie [05:59] hilarie: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist. [05:59] I am running kubuntu; I tried GNOME3 and it didn't really stick with me [05:59] I'd kind of like to remove it to free up space; how do I do that? [06:00] kierkkadon: i think you make a "redundant" [06:00] kierkkadon: sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop [06:00] hilarie, you might find it easier to use Firestarter, a graphical tool to manage your firewall, maybe have a look at that if you don't like the first 2 suggestions [06:00] sinisterstuf I mostly want to kill it if I have one, would the default firewall be blocking port 80? [06:00] blackshirt, I don't really know what that means [06:00] hilarie: no [06:01] darkstar999, that sounds slightly like a troll response...I don't want to remove kubuntu [06:01] hilarie: possibly something in hosts allow/deny in the /etc/apache2/sites/available/default file? [06:01] Also, today is my first day of ever using linux at all. [06:01] no hilarie, and killing the whole firewall is a bad idea, it's better to unblock whichever port you want to use. it's more likely that port 80 is already in use by something else. [06:01] kerkkadon: install gnome on kde like a "bloated" step [06:02] blackshirt, Oh, I see. Well, how do I remove it? [06:02] nobody knows how to fix my problem then [06:02] kierkkadon: sorry, I read that wrong [06:02] darkstar999, Oh, okay. [06:02] hilarie: netstat --tcp -lp | pastebinit [06:02] somsip lemma pastebin that [06:03] brjannc and that [06:03] I have an Asus EeePC 1001p and my microphone doesn't work, although in sound settings it isn't muted, and also in alsamixer it doesn't appear muted, so any ideas how I can get it working? [06:03] kierkkadon, well then sudo apt-get purge gnome-shell gnome [06:03] kierkkadon: you want to remopve all kde or all gnome ?> [06:03] !purekde [06:03] If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde » [06:03] I have arrived at the conclusion that wireless internet is impossible on ubuntu. I have been working off and on for 3 days trying to get a NetGear WNDA3100 v2 wirless dongle to work, then i tried to get a realtek pci 8190 card to work.. neither of them work at all [06:03] bobweaver, All gnome [06:03] !puregnome | kierkkadon [06:03] kierkkadon: If you want to remove all !Kubuntu packages or !Xubuntu packages and have a default !Ubuntu system, follow the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome [06:03] somsip http://paste.ubuntu.com/744940/ [06:03] I even formated and downgraded to 11.04 [06:04] from 11.10 [06:04] kierkkadon: you can search your gnome3 packages through kde software center, type gnome3 on search box, and purge/remove if installed [06:04] So far I'm liking the !purekde response from bobweaver [06:04] ok im just building a machine and doing the upgrade to see what its going to do.. [06:05] 10.04-11.10 that is. [06:05] brjannc http://paste.ubuntu.com/744942/ [06:05] hilarie: looks normal. What is the external IP to hit this site? [06:05] kierkkadon: everytime I have done that I have to alter the remove --purge list [06:05] mwa.ofketchikan.com [06:05] would it be better to get a brand new router or one of the business cisco routers? [06:05] somsip or 206.223.219.135 [06:06] kierkkadon: I cp and paste to a txt file and wait for it to say that it ccan not find a package [06:06] mysteriousdarren for? [06:06] hilarie: and the output of ifconfig? [06:06] bobweaver, Ah, I see. So far so good on ubuntu [06:06] hilarie: ignore that - saw the IP now [06:06] kierkkadon: works 100% [06:06] What is the default password for su -, isn't it supposed to be the same as root pasw? su - >> su: Authentication failure [06:07] somsip http://paste.ubuntu.com/744944/ === XLV_ is now known as XLV [06:07] stepnjump: ubuntu dont work like that [06:07] how do i enable opengl? [06:07] stepnjump: the "root" is locked [06:07] do i have to delete the entire ubuntu and install a new one? [06:07] well that root [06:07] hilarie: sudo service apache2 restart [06:07] hilarie: just basic use, I have two that I am looking at on tigerdirect.com one is a brand new dlink extreme n the other is a cisco buisness refurb. === nj5P1e is now known as ALEX[andr] [06:07] Hey!! Anyone who czn help me to join a domain!!! I need YOU [06:07] hilarie: and you have a mapped host (or whatever) on your router to redirect all incoming :80 traffic to 192.168.1.3? [06:07] plus some gaming of course too [06:08] bobweaver, Thanks, this is exactly what I came here fore. [06:08] somsip done [06:08] somsip ack, its to 10, which is what I should be bydefault [06:08] moment [06:08] bobweaver, so there's no way to run su?

[06:09] oh yes ok thanks bobweaver [06:09] hilarie: working for me now [06:09] kalamjo, might be a bit premature for that conclusion...when you attach to your computer, you dont see any activity in the top right of your screen?

Anybody who have a deal with samba and domain!! [06:34] yeah I tried that one [06:35] I think its because we have same model number USB dongle, but inside there are different chipsets [06:35] Besogon: ask your question, and we'll see if we can help [06:35] i think im going to try the tutorial again [06:35] tho [06:35] I have a dual monitor setup and run my laptop in 1600x900. I've uninstalled the restricted drivers to make gnome shell work, but the default driver doesn't offer 1600x900 for the laptop, though it supports it. [06:36] kalamajo: no, I have just watched a DVD-movie [06:36] Besogon: though, if it's anything more than a simple question, you might have more luck asking in #samba :) [06:36] brjannc: I need to join a domain And can't do it. I could give all the information I have. (Here is an error "Could not initialise lsa pipe") all other info I could post if you need [06:37] please any one guide me when I have been installling the texmaker i am getting the error. please see the screenshot http://imagebin.org/184984 [06:37] http://imagebin.org/184984 see the screen [06:38] one more link though this is a bit lengthy http://polach.cc/howto-fix-broadcom-wifi-adapter-wpa-network-access-on-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx [06:38] brjannc: Yes. I've asked already. Silence [06:39] Besogon: k. I'm not familiar with that error, just doing a little looking around in the usual places [06:39] I could not understand what it is when we run the texmaker: http://imagebin.org/184984 [06:40] brjannc: Could you look on my conf files then? May be you notice that something is wrong. [06:41] Besogon: Sure. smb.conf, krb5.conf, and ldap.conf, if you're using LDAP [06:41] brjannc: give me a second [06:41] Besogon: no hurry [06:42] how to install the unmet dependencies [06:42] how to install the unmet dependencies [06:43] Besogon: (also, make sure you edit out any sensitive info out of those before pastebinning, since we're talking about authentication methods) [06:43] Does anybody know about any good fax app that would run on ubuntu? [06:45] Besogon: oh, and nsswitch.conf too, please [06:45] OK === Timic_ is now known as Timic [06:48] brjannc: I'm ready: look here is a list of samba users (I've done rak$ as it is advised from Samba How-to): http://pastebin.com/q2vsR2jJ [06:48] anyone here, I have a samba server set up on an Ubuntu 10.04 server. I have quotas in place to prevent people from using all of the drive space, but I would also like to impose filesize limits. I found and edited the limits.conf file, but I'm still able to upload files larger than what I specified. Am I missing something?

[06:50] and winbindd and samba daemons are stopped [06:50] Besogon: okay, how about krb5.conf? === barna is now known as bipul [06:51] brjannc: I don't think we are using it. hm... We don't install something specific on XP. I'm gonna ask him just now === jake is now known as kalamajo [06:52] Besogon: I've always been under the impression that kerberos is required for AD integration -- but I'm not a wizard === Vladislas is now known as Vladislas-repot [06:53] brjannc: yes. Here is only a domain. Without kerberos. Have noticed something strange??? [06:54] Besogon: Oh, I see. No, not yet, still trying to determine exactly what you're trying to do :) So you're not looking for user authentication against AD, just shares? [06:55] brjannc: Yes. Iwant to join domain. [06:55] Besogon: Hm. I still think you need kerberos up and working first... [06:56] Besogon: Which tutorial have you been following? [06:56] I just installed lubuntu, but it doesn't show the users on the login screen. How do I show them? [06:57] brjannc: Samba3-HOWTO Chapter 2 and Chapter 6 [06:57] official [06:57] Besogon: okay, give me a few minutes to skim [07:01] I just installed lubuntu, but it doesn't show the users on the login screen. How do I show them? [07:04] Besogon: What kind of domain is this? NT4, 2k, 2k3, 2k8...? [07:05] brjannc: It is working on Windows 2008. That's all I know. Hope it's NT4 [07:05] thornhill if it's like ubuntu it should be system settings | login screen [07:06] system settings in ubuntu is located as an option when you press the shut down/log off button [07:06] brjannc: if you need "AD" on linux, you need samba4 [07:07] stepnjump: I don't see anything labeled system settings. [07:07] blackshirt: you can get around that using openldap and kerberos for authentication, can't you? [07:07] Hello guys who knows a website with free ebooks? [07:07] Which version are you using thornhill? [07:08] blackshirt: I thought Samba only did the file sharing aspect, and LikewiseOpen did the directory server stuff? [07:08] brjannc: if just for client [07:08] This menu was phased out in ubuntu 11.10, that's why I kept my 11.04 [07:08] tonnyarusso: if you want AD server you can use samba4 [07:08] * brjannc nods [07:08] I'm running in classic mode [07:08] ubuntu-11.10 can not read my partition table (in installation) ... [07:08] samba3 was for nt4 domain [07:08] but you can use it for ad client [07:09] blackshirt: Huh, good to know. [07:09] blackshirt: I believe that Besogon is attempting to add his machine as a domain member to an existing (we're hoping NT4) domain [07:09] i use laptop "HP Pavilion dm 1" [07:10] нуфр [07:10] yeah [07:10] Does anyone know how to bring up the system settings via term? [07:11] anyone here, I have a samba server set up on an Ubuntu 10.04 server. I have quotas in place to prevent people from using all of the drive space, but I would also like to impose filesize limits. I found and edited the limits.conf file, but I'm still able to upload files larger than what I specified. Am I missing something? [07:11] Besogon: search Chapter 6 for the section that starts "Finally, add (or modify) a password server"... You don't have a password server line in your smb.conf globals [07:12] Apparently I've broken the permissions of my home directory [07:12] ok [07:12] and I can't fix them at all [07:13] Besogon: seems like you can just use password server = * to let it auto-discover [07:13] tonnyarruso: i have implemented samba4 as AD server "replacement".. you can read it on their wiki [07:14] nbros652: samba share relies on filesystem (kernel) capabilites.. you have must configure filesystem to use quota, or limits [07:15] brjannc: shit... not working [07:15] Besogon: language, please :) but that's okay, that was just the first thing I noticed. still working through it [07:15] blackshirt, okay, quotas are working. Do I have to set up something different to get limits working? === jesus is now known as Guest42759 [07:17] hi I'm trzing to set up some kind of secured internet connection sharing using a 3g modem - the issue is onece i connect my eth with a static IP - even though VPN is working than - i can't access internet anzmore because this eth. will be prefered over 3g - how and where can i change this preference? === Marc is now known as Guest88607 [07:18] hello [07:18] Besogon: You might try specifying the PDC directly in the join command, as chapter 6 suggests: root# net rpc join -S DOMPDC -UAdministrator%password [07:18] nbros652: what your type partition used for share ? [07:18] Besogon: where DOMPDC is the name of the PDC [07:18] blackshirt, ext3 [07:18] hello bugz [07:18] hi anyone know how to install compiz extras [07:19] Guest42759: just use Ubuntu Software Center didnt work? [07:19] anybody experienced how to bridge a openVPN Server interface into a ppp0 connection which is not in /etc/networking but created by nm-manager ? [07:19] hello ruben [07:19] brjannc: Thank you for your help. I've tried it already. Nothing works... I'll return to the problem later now I', a bit tired of ot [07:19] it [07:19] Guest42759: but I dont think that a good idea, since compiz is not work very well with unity, in case you use oneiric [07:20] Besogon: understandable. maybe next time you're in, someone who knows more about samba will be around :) [07:20] hello [07:20] "Running /etc/init.d/networking restart is deprecated" Ubuntu server gave me this message. What may I use instead of this command? [07:21] anyone know how to virtualize ubuntu on ubuntu server [07:21] melvincv: try service networking restart instead [07:21] Hi - does anybody know a tool like foremost, but being able to recover .odt-files? (I unfotunately reformatted my /home-partition and there is one important .odt-file on it) [07:22] melvincv: sudo service networking restart [07:22] melvincv: actually, it may just be start/stop [07:22] stanley00 i useing ubuntu 11.10 [07:22] restart: Unknown instance: ? [07:22] Guest42759: well, if I was you, I wouldnt install compiz extras [07:23] does anyone have experience with gnunet [07:23] melvincv: yea, its then stop and then start [07:23] !info testdisk | Gamoder [07:23] Gamoder: testdisk (source: testdisk): Partition scanner and disk recovery tool.

[07:24] brjannc: Thanks, I'll have a look at that [07:24] melvincv: there should be a restart option there, but there is probably another way. was just first alternative that came to my mind [07:24] nbros652: i think samba run as a root process [07:24] GnuNet says disconnected... no obvious way to connect [07:24] does anyone know how to virtualize ubuntu on ubuntu server [07:25] Stanley00 i was useing it befor with a wubi install of ubuntu 11.10 and it was working pretty good a lil bugy but not bad [07:25] sausagesquatch: there are several ways [07:25] do tell [07:25] So what may I do over ssh to make sure my new networking settings are applied? In fact the command works, it is just deprecated... [07:25] sausagesquatch: probably KVM or Xen [07:25] is it a bad idea to give 775 to a directory served up by apache? [07:25] whats kvm [07:26] Guest42759: Idk, I just heard someone here said that unity doesnt work after active some compiz config, so I just warn you.

Learn it yourself at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM [07:28] smw: the default permissions is 765 for apache so group members can't edit files [07:29] nbros652: i think you need a logoff to impose take effect [07:29] ok thanks [07:29] i was just wondering if there are any drawbacks to chmodding the directory to 775 [07:29] blackshirt, tried that. tried a reboot as well. [07:30] sausagesquatch: yes, it is free. It's already built in kernel. You can manage virtual machnies from command line. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM [07:30] libryder, nope. I would chmod file 664 and directories 775 [07:30] cool thanks [07:30] just needed some quick validation :) [07:30] clear [07:30] anyone have experience with ubuntu and broadcom 43x wlan cards?

[07:31] I'm trying to install 11.10, but I'm having some serious difficulty with partitions. [07:32] ThatOneDude: Have you gone through the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx ? [07:32] Yes I have [07:32] *kidding* [07:32] ThatOneDude: my card is kaput, but if your trying to get driver to work just install firmware-b43-installer [07:32] So, if anyone has some spare time, please tell me? [07:33] SanusCompleo: just ask whatever it is you need help with; if someone knows, they'll answer :) [07:33] Okay [07:33] anyone know what i should do i downloaded ubuntu but i cant buy a cd or usb stick how can i get these files on my drive in a way i can select os in the bios === flack-Z is now known as flack [07:33] I'm unable to move around my partitions. I've got 4 of them, it's an HP laptop (Ugh), [07:33] alright, i'll give b43 a try...STA was a fail...after installing it through the "additional drivers" prompt, and the wlan option completely disappeared [07:33] SanusCompleo: just ask your question .. [07:33] SanusCompleo, I had the same problem... [07:33] disregard that and [07:33] blackshirt, I figured out why ulimit -a wasn't showing my changes... I was using su to access the user account for which changes were made, and that doesn't work. [07:34] And @ sausagesquatch Try getting wubi. It's an installer that you can install from Windows, but it only gives you up to 30 GB storage. [07:34] sausagesquatch: maybe use wubi installer or some hack on the iso file [07:34] or virtualbox [07:34] Is there any way to move around the sizes of the partitions at least? [07:34] oh, native.. nevermind [07:34] SanusCompleo, you need to delete the recovery partition [07:34] Or split one in half? Or anything at all? [07:34] Okay, but when it's deleted, what do I do? [07:35] nbros652: try to read this http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=26330&forum=41 [07:35] Cause whatever leftover size goes to "unusable" [07:35] i think a same problem [07:35] im not very good yet but i do belive i used wubi to download whats the next step [07:35] blackshirt, you must be right about the permissions that samba runs with. Thanks I'll look into this a little more and see if there's a way around this. [07:35] SanusCompleo, once you delete a partition, everything else will function. [07:35] Yeah? [07:35] I think I'd rather delete HP_Tools. [07:35] Is that okay? [07:35] I don't think that harms anything [07:35] sausagesquatch: I heard that you can make the BIOS boot from iso and install from that, but not sure, you can search internet for that [07:35] Excellent. Merci [07:36] SanusCompleo, I think that is part of recovery though... [07:36] whats iso [07:36] Everyone... WISH ME LUCK! [07:36] You can probably install via virtualbox by creating a vmdk which maps directly to the physical drive [07:36] but that's pretty dangerous :-) [07:36] SanusCompleo, the issue is HP formatted the drive in a way that only allows 4 partitions. [07:36] Yeah. [07:36] SanusCompleo, Windows boot, C:\, recovery, hp tools [07:36] It really sucks [07:36] no room for linux! [07:37] Hey, can i easily switch from regular ubuntu to ubuntu-server? [07:37] nbros652: or this http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/smbcquotas.1.html [07:37] I -HOPE- I got HP_Tools. Otherwise... tis Windows boot, or Recovery. [07:37] And have all the graphical stuff uninstalled and such... [07:37] but the second you delete one, linux can make a "logical partition" so you can have as many as you want [07:37] bobslaede: you can do it easily [07:37] So at least it's possible to get it back, or install Grub to boot Windows, no? [07:37] blackshirt: awesome! [07:37] bobslaede: you can, but fresh install ubuntu-server is prefer [07:37] bobslaede: just install the dependancies [07:37] SanusCompleo, I deleted windows boot and that killed windows [07:37] sorry to bother again guys. can someone tell me how to enable bash-completion for apt-get. I tried editing bashrc already and it is not working [07:37] boslaede, install linux-image-server [07:38] SanusCompleo, I was too lazy to reinstall windows so I haven't had it since [07:38] It killed windows, or you just couldn't boot into windows? [07:38] thanks guys, will see if i can get a fresh install tho [07:38] Yeah. [07:38] SanusCompleo, is there a difference? [07:38] If anything like that happens, I'll just copy everything over. [07:38] Yes. I booted Windows through Grub for a good two years on my old PC [07:38] SanusCompleo, HP_TOOLS in theory won't do anything [07:38] bobslaede: just install all stuf from deskstop part, install kernel server version [07:38] No, HP_Tools is just some weird B.S. [07:38] blackshirt, thanks, but does this actually allow imposing a limit of the size of individual files? [07:38] blackshirt: alrigth [07:39] SanusCompleo, truthfully, I don't care about windows. So it doesn't matter for me :-P [07:39] bobslaede: i mean just removing all desktop part, sorry [07:39] Once I split my HD into two partitions. Labelled one "Storage". Felt preeetty derpy. [07:39] *nods to smw* [07:39] I use Windows for what few games my dual-core 1.6 GHz processor can do. [07:40] Would love to put this HD into a more powerful laptop.

[07:40] SanusCompleo: im a little behind, did u delete your windows mbr? [07:41] ne1 plz try to solve it [07:41] ActionParsnip: I think so. let me check again [07:41] SanusCompleo, ah, I don't play games :-P. I just last week setup Windows XP in a VM because my KVM needed Active X [07:41] Anyone know about running the liveCD on the new macbook pro? [07:41] I haven't. Now it's doing strange things, that I don't understand. :C [07:41] SanusCompleo, I normally shrink the size of C: in windows first [07:41] SanusCompleo, you can also use gparted [07:41] I probably should have. [07:42] *nods* I know. [07:42] ActionParsnip: yes it is [07:42] I've got a bad history with Gparted [07:42] SanusCompleo: urbanterror plays fine here on single core 1.6ghz with nvidia 6150LE 512mb :-) [07:42] Sanus: i also always part in windows first [07:42] i dualboot hp laptop + windows no prob [07:42] See. I can never manage to get windows partitioners to do anything but screw up my disk! [07:42] truesky: if you run: source ~/.bashrc is it ok? [07:43] Also, getting rid of Unity... What's the -best- way to do it? Just go to Gnome 3? [07:43] ActionParsnip: that just made it work [07:43] SanusCompleo, my opinion is xfce. It has come far. It is very close to gnome 2 [07:43] Close? [07:43] ActionParsnip: is that a permanent fix? [07:43] That sounds... lacking. [07:44] I really liked Gnome 2.x [07:44] SanusCompleo, it isn't lacking [07:44] SanusCompleo: if you have unity you have and are already running gnome3 (assuming oneiric) [07:44] SanusCompleo, I suggest experimentation [07:44] SanusCompleo, I tried lubuntu, kubuntu, ubuntu, gnome-shell, and xubuntu [07:44] SanusCompleo, xfce won. [07:44] (It is oneiric, but it says that you can log a session under Gnome... which is apparently different from Unity? I dislike this launcher business.) [07:44] truesky: it just needed running to apply changes. Do new terminals run ok? === paxtoncamaro91 is now known as paxtoncamaroafk [07:45] SanusCompleo: unity isn't a desktop, its just a shell [07:45] ActionParsnip: it seems so far [07:45] SanusCompleo: gnome is unusable in ubuntu 11.10. I migrated to awesome WM [07:45] !away > paxtoncamaroafk [07:45] paxtoncamaroafk, please see my private message [07:45] Unusable? Really? [07:46] Also, what's Awesome WM? [07:46] ActionParsnip: thanks again. this is definetly goingto be faster now :) [07:46] SanusCompleo: http://awesome.naquadah.org/ [07:46] SanusCompleo, obviously it is an Awesome Window Manager [07:46] yes)) [07:46] SanusCompleo: xfce looks and smells like gnome2. You can get it by installing xfce4 [07:47] I seeeee [07:47] how long should installing xubuntu-desktop take given ubuntu minimal and about 835 packages that need installing (1,2Gb) [07:47] I'll get all sorts of different things until I get what I want.

D: [07:51] you onlu get 1 free spech petition [07:51] I know [07:51] How do I move one to the other? [07:52] move what ? [07:52] SanusCompleo, gparted? [07:52] I'm thinking that [07:52] SanusCompleo, I think I used a windows program. [07:52] SanusCompleo, for some reason I am the only one who understands you :-P [07:53] :) [07:53] I think... I've got it? [07:53] Nope! [07:53] ActionParsnip: It sure is nice and minimal.

I can install apps by synpetic and apt-get but not software center [07:59] ActionParsnip: I'm doing that, but it is a nearly endless list of packages (835). I can't figure out the order, so for now I suppose I must be patient [07:59] files in mass? [07:59] dammit the only way to make a iso file is to burn it right [08:00] SanusCompleo: not had any issues or errors in precise here [08:00] actionparsnip same error I was about to ask about, bad update? or lack of update hehe [08:00] Hello good morning/afternoon/evening/night to all [08:01] Me-1: try: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get --reinstall software-center [08:01] What happens if I delete my recovery partition? [08:02] is burning a cd the only way to create an iso file [08:02] sausagesquatch: if so, use an emulator will good [08:02] SanusCompleo: You cannot recover Ubuntu [08:02] sanuscompleo then your transition to ubuntu will be complete, and all remnents of windows will be gone [08:02] what [08:02] sausagesquatch: the iso must exist to be burned. [08:02] sausagesquatch: or simply extract it use 7zip tool ;) [08:02] SanusCompleo: You'll erase your backup of the OS [08:03] sausagesquatch: no DON'T extract it [08:03] ok let me tell you what im trying to do [08:03] ActionParsnip: why not? I dont get it. [08:03] sausagesquatch: are you wanting to use wubi? [08:03] I can be a theurge. [08:04] hello there [08:04] i downloaded ubuntu and want to get it to boot up without making a cd or useing a usb stick [08:04] appearance settings doesnt have colour change [08:04] Wubi will work [08:04] yellabs-r2 hello there mate :) [08:04] Stanley: there is data appart from the files which extracting ignores and makes stuff not work [08:04] is it possible to let totem play an video in slow motion, is there a way to control the speed [08:04] ? [08:04] Someone get sausagesquatch a link to wubi [08:05] i used wubi to download [08:05] kat is cool :) [08:05] ActionParsnip: well, I didnt know that, thanks for the infos. [08:05] sausagesquatch: then install magicdisk or daemontools and you can use wubi from there. Be sure to MD5test the ISO so you know its good [08:05] SanusCompleo: I tried to use Wubi but Ubuntu kept freezing and crashing down, but as far i tried it i surrendered myself to it and installed it for good [08:06] I just uninstalled software center for the purposes of reinstalling it, pastebin to follow, it was funny [08:06] ok [08:07] Stanley00: np. All you have to do is open the file with your burner (after Mad5 testing) and burn as slow as possible. Easy [08:07] oh, ok, it was the list of programs it has to install, it was like, why are you doing something with oragano while removing software center... [08:07] hilarie: you don't [08:07] The tension is killing me [08:07] sausagesquatch: here you go, link to download Wubi : http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/windows-installer [08:07] I copied my recovery partition right next to the C Drive [08:07] Freed up 100 gigs [08:07] And going to keep it 4 nice neat partitions with no unusable space. [08:08] Help me god. [08:08] ActionParsnip, thank you [08:08] thanks [08:08] ActionParsnip: I havent use CD or DVD for a long time, just use the USB ;) [08:08] ActionParsnip adding and removing software center still isn't letting it open [08:08] hilarie: just mark it for reinstallation and it will be reinstalled. No removal necessary :-) [08:09] for some reason it was getting grumpy with me with the --reinstall flag on apt-get [08:09] ok done it with mplayer ( speed control your movie ) [08:09] Stanley00: setup a pxe server and you won't even need that :-) [08:09] cant do it with totem ( yet ) [08:10] http://paste.ubuntu.com/744978/ [08:10] is md5 test free how do i do that [08:10] Have any of you yet found a way to get rid of unity in Oneiric Ocelot ? [08:11] !nounity | stepnjump [08:11] stepnjump: 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 [08:11] stepnjump: use lubuntu or kubuntu or something... :)) [08:12] @stepnjump there is no 10.10 UI unless you go back to 11.04, and go into classic mode === kat is now known as katsrc [08:14] hilarie yes thats what I was afraid. Fortunately I kept my 11.04... I wonder what I will do in 6 months when they phase it out [08:15] stepnjump its 18m [08:15] So you have closer a year [08:16] 18m hilarie? [08:17] hilarie try that: apt-get remove package and apt-get clean [08:17] remove then clean? [08:17] and yes, the life of each release is 18 months, not a year [08:17] That's what I found on the web. source: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/how-do-i-get-apt-get-to-completely-uninstall-a-package-237772/ [08:18] oh that's good news... well sorts of! lol hilarie [08:18] !lol [08:18] Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [08:18] :P [08:18] Is there any show desktop button on linux? [08:18] hello all, anyone gotten kvm virtual machine manager working on ubuntu oneiric 64bit? I keep getting this error (and nothing in google is helping): Error polling connection 'qemu:///system': internal error Cannot find suitable emulator for x86_64 [08:19] topriddy: Ctrl + Alt + D ? [08:19] psypher246, what cmd are you running? [08:20] smw: it's from the icon added to the oauncher by software center but i thinik it's gksudo virt-manager [08:20] smw: i get the same error when runnning from cli [08:20] smw: sudo or without [08:20] Alright... now let's try installing [08:21] am i the only that doesnt like the new Ubuntu gui and would want my gnome back? [08:21] No [08:21] Unity generally sucks [08:21] psypher246, "I get the same error when running from the cli". So you are running a cmd? [08:21] yes virt-manager [08:21] hilarie yes I tried apt-get remove works fine [08:21] psypher246, what is the exact cmd you are running? [08:21] just that [08:22] how can I create a vpn connection? I'm using openvpn, and I have the .ovpn file, but it won't let me save the connection? I have a feeling it might be an auth issue [08:22] does anyone know what apt-get clean does? [08:22] psypher246, truthfully, you are not giving me much to work with. Don't think I can help :-\. Any reason you are not using virtualbox? [08:22] smw: He means that when launching the GUI app (virt-manager) from a terminal, the error is spit out on the parent terminal. [08:22] stepnjump: It deletes the .deb packages you've downloaded that are stored in /var/cache/apt/ [08:22] smw: sorrty i though I am answering your exact question, i open trerminla and type virt-manare and press eneter en that error co9mes up when the app laucnhes [08:23] am i the only that doesnt like the new Ubuntu gui and would want my gnome back? How can i install gnome? [08:23] !nounity | topriddy [08:23] topriddy: 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 [08:23] OIC tnx tonyyarusso [08:23] GNOME is meh use XFCE like a real linux user [08:24] smw: yes what tonyyarusso said [08:24] topriddy, not only ubuntu changed. Gnome did too [08:24] topriddy, you are not going to find anything like what you had with gnome 2 unless you move to xfce [08:24] smw: oh, now i get. [08:24] smw: just noticed qemu-kvm wasn't installed with virt-manager, trying quick [08:25] GNOME3 is great i dont get people that hate on it. [08:25] Unity sucks balls though [08:25] smw: i like the easy way i can get back to desktop as in windows and mac os x.

[09:42] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/xaEjSjtN [09:42] brianpWins thats normal [09:43] brianpWins; when you run something, with elevated privs, you need authentication, there are other ways though [09:45] brianpWins u can desable it, but its not secure way to use linux [09:45] in any way u can work under root [09:45] MrS1lentcz: That looks fine. I don't know what's wrong. Try asking in #grub (and re-ask every few hours, being patient. It's a low traffic channel but with support directly from grub developers it can be invaluable help). [09:45] or sudo for a whole session [09:45] but i am not sure if everything will work well under root account [09:45] brianpWins: what are you trying to do ? [09:46] hmmm.

Everything is working alright except brightness is set to lowest value after waking up computer from suspend and I can't level it up. Anyone know how to fix this, please? [09:46] it causes randomly, not every suspend causes that [09:47] brianpWins: Are you trying to write files under /var/www, by chance? [09:47] proxx: I have a user i'm using to ssh and run ruby/bundler commands. That user doesn't seem to have write access to ruby related things despite being a sudoer. So I can't run command like bundle install. But these things work fine as root [09:47] Jordan_U: there's more people than in our czech ubuntu channel :)) thanks :) [09:47] MrS1lentcz: You're welcome :) [09:47] brianpWins: did you add the user to the required groups ? [09:48] proxx: i don't think. I just added my_user ALL=(ALL) ALL [09:48] brianpWins: sudo adduser username admin don't edit sudoers directly [09:49] llutz: addgroup ? [09:49] llutz: so if the user already exists will that cmd still work [09:50] add group sounds nicer =) [09:50] brianpWins: See adduser --help [09:50] brianpWins: sure [09:50] deej1976: adduser addgroup do both [09:50] ls -l $(which addgroup) [09:50] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Jun 13 21:36 /usr/sbin/addgroup -> adduser [09:51] deej1976: ^^ [09:51] thanks everyone. I'm going to give that a go right now [09:51] llutz: Ah ha, cool, learn something new everyday [09:51] my 'time applet' shows a few calendar entries, where do these come from? and how do I change the calendar used? [09:52] stimpie, do you use evolution, or have it set up to use a calendar? I think that, by default, the calendar entries there gets added to the applet. [09:52] I have used evolution but removed it. [09:53] stimpie, did you remove evolution related packages, such as evolution-common or evolution-data if they exist? [09:53] stimpie, also, did you apt-get remove or purge [09:54] not sure probably just a remove [09:54] hmmmm. I did addgroup user admin and it said it worked. but when I login as that user gem uninstall still give me write permission errors [09:55] You don't have write permissions into the /usr/local/rbenv/versions/1.9.2-p290/bin directory. [09:55] brianpWins: that just adds the user to the sudo-user group. he still needs sudo to work with elevated privs [09:55] stimpie, as an example, I have evolution-common installed, dispite not using evolution myself. It might be included in a metapackage, such as ubuntu-desktop, so keep that in mind. [09:55] brianpWins: Did you prefix your command with sudo? [09:56] brianpWins, is this an rvm setup? [09:56] deej1976: I didn't. but when I do. it tells me sudo: gem: command not found [09:56] joshmc: not rvm. rbenv [09:56] does this work [09:56] fecal-matters.mooo.com [09:56] joshmc, evolution-common is indeed still installed. I guess its easier to just keep evolution installed. [09:57] stimpie, maybe, maybe not, depends on what you need. if it requires too much software to be uninstalled that you'd rather keep, you have your answer. [09:58] does this work http://fecal-matters.mooo.com [09:59] OldOneEye: no advertising please, sure not for obscure websites w/ questionable content [10:00] im testing apache [10:00] i got free dns [10:00] testing [10:00] brianpWins, I'm not familiar with it. I know that with rvm there was a specific way you had to invoke gem, rvmsudo, if you installed it system-wide (i.e. /usr/local ), and the initial documentation of rbenv rings very similar to rvm (to my ears) [10:00] szal: not here, its offtopic [10:00] OldOneEye: ^^ sry zal [10:01] joshmc: yeah rbenv and rvm are solving the same issues so I'll look into that a bit more. Although with root. i can bundle install with success [10:01] errrr [10:01] not bundle install [10:01] gem install [10:02] brianpWins: gem install with root? and `which gem` turns up a version-specific gem ? [10:03] joshmc: which gem gives me /usr/local/rbenv/shims/gem and when logged in with root gem install works fine [10:06] brianpWins: are there ruby/gem binaries in version//bin ?? even symlinks or something (again, going off of rvm-based knowledge) [10:06] on my seedbox with 3 days uptime, my ratio on ubuntu desktop 11.10 is .02 is it http seeded or something? [10:06] joshmc: i believe so. the shim should point towards: /usr/local/rbenv/versions/1.9.2-p290/bin [10:08] !wubi [10:08] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting.

[10:10] brianpWins, probably not [10:10] joshmc: okay. blow out the dir it is [10:10] brianpWins, but see if there's an uninstall function first [10:11] I'll get to that. thanks for the help! I'll post back in a bit see if it worked. [10:11] joshmc: should I also be concerned about everything else i've installed? nginx many libs with aptitude [10:12] brianpWins, if you installed nginx with support for passenger you'll have to reconfigure it, but nginx is pretty easy to build/rebuild iirc [10:12] today i booted into Window and did a CHKDSK and after a reboot i found out that all my ext4 partitions had vanished!!!

[11:14] Sanus: xfce4 (or xubuntu-desktop if you want all the nonsense that comes with Xubuntu) [11:14] Hey, how do I get a grub menu at boot? It skips grub directly into booting ubuntu :-( [11:14] vibhav: change the permissions on the file [11:14] I want to add kernel options [11:14] i need a grub specialist :) in #grub channel all are sleeping or working :) [11:14] vibhav: Nope, but you can edit /etc/sudoers to allow you to run them without entering the password [11:14] vibhav: not without a gui/dbus [11:14] theadmin: /usr/local/rbenv/shims/gem: line 4: exec: rbenv: not found so it seems like theres a rbenv issue =S [11:14] MrS1lentcz: that's there the grub specilists are, as I recall you are looking for efi help [11:14] MrS1lentcz: #grub is the best place [11:15] Which would be a good development program for a new program that will be displaying images from the internet? Not specific an Ubuntu question. But I need to get on-track... [11:16] what is KdE [11:16] i mean KDE [11:16] !kde | sskniranjan [11:16] sskniranjan: KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. [11:17] ikonia: i know, but all are sleeping there :/ [11:17] MrS1lentcz: they will wake up [11:17] KDE users are sleepers anyway :P hehe [11:17] brianpWins: Oh, that doesn't sound too well [11:17] hi ice [11:17] brianpWins: I never honestly developed Ruby on Ubuntu so I can't help much [11:18] what's the best free backup solution? [11:18] 'scuse cross-post. Anybody got clues why I have many packages doubled up (on amd64) after upgrade to oneric (on kubuntu and mythbuntu). Possibly due to one being amd64 and one 386 - but can't tell which is which anyway.. [11:18] frogonwheels_: please don't cross post then [11:18] proxx: get the context right or keep quiet please :) [11:18] theadmin: from what I can find the "system wide" install ins't supported by the developers right now. I guess Ihad just stumbled upon someone else's method to attempt it. so if thats true it's not surprising it's so error prone [11:18] alex_ole: There's no "best", but try Dropbox (online) or rsync (offline, or to your own server) [11:19] unstable rekonq... grrrr [11:19] theadmin, thx [11:19] ikonia: yeah- but it's noisy in here - and dead-quiet in #kubuntu [11:19] Hi everyone! [11:19] ikonia: and it does relate generally to ubuntu (it seems) rather than specific to kubuntu [11:19] frogonwheels_: if the pkgs are already installed, you can -> dpkg -l packagename [11:20] hi all! [11:20] frogonwheels_: other than that, what pkgs exactly? === david is now known as Guest90388 [11:20] karmic disappeared from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ ???

Why do you *need* an outdated release? [11:25] theadmin: old server install [11:25] Oh a connection got stuck [11:25] Must be the time_wait issue I see [11:25] Err have [11:26] can someone help me: Yesterday I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on PPC_G5. pre-installed firefox-3.5 only opens interminal (sudo firefox) but not in the graphical interface. Does anyone know why? [11:26] I also cant find an alternative browser chromium becauce i cant finda source that is built for ppc_IBM architecture,does anyone know? [11:26] How annoying [11:26] szal: seems it only (in aptitude this is) shows one installed if there is one installed. (so it's not two views onto the same package info) [11:26] Falk_Amsterdam: Because you used "sudo firefox"... [11:26] Falk_Amsterdam: You don't run Firefox as root. [11:26] Now I have to reset my firewall [11:27] Falk_Amsterdam: Delete ~/.mozilla and try again [11:27] cool thanks [11:27] Falk_Amsterdam: Why are you using sudo? [11:27] frogonwheels_: the PPC port is pretty dead/unmaintained [11:27] theadmin: that channel is a lot less busy :( But we'll see what I get [11:27] because it seems that firefox doesnt open another way [11:28] afaik you can't even buy PPC hardware anywhere anymore [11:28] xruud: What language are you developing, anyway? [11:28] ...how do i tell apt-get to search for where a program is? am trying to install lib4l4j-java [11:28] well, except ibm servers [11:28] but anything for the desktops [11:28] topriddy: apt-cache search "that weird thing" [11:28] i am on ubuntu server 10.4 on esxi i want to use pen drive in ubuntu ,how do i get installed pen drive [11:28] @ ikonia: ppc port is dead, isthere another way to get appsd [11:29] theadmin: none so far. I have no real preference yet. Except I strongly dislike java (lately I HAD to for Android) [11:29] frogonwheels_: well, there is a 10.04 build. it's just not well maintained [11:29] oops Falk_Amsterdam ^ [11:29] xruud: I hate Java as well (even though I kinda like C#. Weird, huh?) [11:29] buy x86_64, enjoy :) [11:29] ikonia: :) Had me confused there. [11:30] theadmin: I hate java mostly because I loose track and it is slugish [11:30] theadmin: sure? nothing happens [11:30] topriddy: Maybe we don't have that... [11:30] I think my audio drivers just crashed, they are just giving me a feeping noise. Can I reload them somehow, or do I have to reboot? [11:30] theadmin: okay. i need to write a java app to stream from camera. [11:30] is there a way to set the environment in which the command i set in the crontab will work? [11:31] topriddy: I'm not into Java, so I have no idea how you'd do that... [11:31] gener1c: Define "environment" [11:31] the current directory [11:31] Using.Trollface; [11:31] gener1c, write in cron "VAR=val /your/script.sh" [11:32] gener1c: Um, "cd"? [11:32] gener1c, never tried it but should work [11:32] theadmin: i an getting: "The followingg packages have unmet dependencies" on running apt-get install. [11:32] theadmin: Tasksel is giving me a weird aptitude failed (100) error. [11:33] Sanus: Huh... That's odd [11:33] alex_ole: where in cron shall i write VAR=val? [11:33] should* [11:33] theadmin: how do i launch apt-get install such that it installs transparently other dependencies? [11:33] before you command\ [11:33] ok [11:33] gener1c, before you command [11:33] then ill do && [11:33] please? [11:33] or ; [11:33] topriddy: that is the default [11:33] gener1c, no, separate by space only [11:33] ok [11:33] topriddy: Try using aptitude [11:34] topriddy: when you get such an error its because you are using a ppa (not supported) or installed something by hand (dpkg -i) before [11:34] iceroot: what do i do now? [11:34] topriddy: or mixing other repos [11:34] iceroot: i added a repos already. [11:34] Okay, who wants to help me out here? >.< [11:34] topriddy: what is the output of "cat /etc/apt/sources.list" and "cat /etc/issue" [11:35] Raliegh: just ask a detailed question in one line [11:35] anybody help.. having issues setting up my shared folder in VM..

Can not seem to set up my shared folder correctly so I can transfer files from guest to host [11:36] Raliegh: what command, what error, output of "cat /etc/apt/sources.list" [11:36] Why would some tcp connection states run as root? [11:37] Sanus: sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql-server [11:37] iceroot: i am simply following instructions here [11:37] hello [11:37] iceroot: here: http://code.google.com/p/v4l4j/wiki/DebianInstall [11:37] Uhh, fine. We'll mess with MySQL. I changed my sources.list to a default sources.list I found online (since my VPS doesn't offer a good list). apt-install mysql-server returns this: [11:37] conntrack: everything below port 1024 needs root [11:37] TxEdition: WinSCP works quite well or Filezilla, anything that supports SSH2 [11:37] mysql-server : Depends: mysql-server-5.0 but it is not going to be installed [11:37] hi [11:37] the apt repository option didnt work so I tried manual. Still #failed too :( [11:37] iceroot: That is completely random. Apache2 is already the latest version however [11:37] topriddy: this is ubuntu, not debian [11:37] can i install ubuntu in usb pen drive and use it like we use OS which is installed in HDD ? [11:37] !lamp | Sanus [11:37] Raliegh: Did you run apt-get update after changing the list? [11:37] iceroot: That wasn't the question [11:37] Sanus: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [11:37] does any1 use virtual machine manager?

[11:39] iceroot: Yes, I updated my system after editing the sources. My current sources is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/745046/ [11:39] hardly seems like a question you should be asking here... [11:40] whats the difference in compiler and toolchain version in 10.04 and 10.10 have? [11:40] christina: you have to change your boot preferences [11:40] Raliegh: cat /etc/issue [11:40] each time if i want to use ubuntu from USB i have to put usb and if i want to use windows then i have to remove usb [11:40] christina: look at your BIOS [11:40] iceroot: Ubuntu 11.04 \n \l [11:41] omg, this channel is ******** .. so much buzz [11:41] I'm wondering whether time_wait owned by root is a serious security issue === kyubutsu is now known as Guest10097 [11:41] Raliegh: then why you putting hardy in the sources.list?

Care to help me out? [11:41] Sanus: use the example for kde [11:42] Thank you. [11:42] !sl [11:42] iceroot: Well, I get a sources list but it only has like... 3 lines, no universe or multiverse. No repositories I truly need. [11:42] Raliegh: sudo sed -i s/hardy/natty/ /etc/apt/sources.list [11:43] Raliegh: first change the hardy-lines which are complettly wrong [11:43] how do I change grub timeout? [11:44] iceroot: Ran that command, no errors returned but quick spacing to next line. And honestly I've no idea how to properly edit the sources file other than adding/removing whole lines. [11:44] JasonGriffee: GRUB2 or GRUB? [11:44] ubuntu 11.10 default [11:44] iceroot: that command and update seemed to have fixed it though, I can now install MySQL [11:44] Raliegh: great [11:44] 5.1 only, but that's good enough for me. That's a command for the books. Thanks a lot. <3 [11:45] Sanus: of course dont run the sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop after if you dont want it [11:45] Raliegh: no, forget the command [11:45] JasonGriffee: it's probably in /etc/default/grub [11:45] iceroot: *nods* [11:45] Raliegh: it should only be used when something like that is happening (which will not happen by default) never use that command to upgrade your distri [11:46] iceroot: It resets the sources back to default no? Seems I'll have to do this after any VPS install. I've never owned a VPS that offers proper sources. [11:46] Raliegh: it will replace the string "hardy" with the string "natty" [11:47] iceroot: Oooooh. Well, luckily enough it worked (for MySQL at least) so I guess it's a good thing I just needed hardy added. [11:47] Raliegh: if that is the default your provider is offering to you after you get the vps, beat him :) [11:47] JasonGriffee: You need to edit /etc/default/grub (gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub) and change the GRUB_TIMEOUT parameter. The value of this parameter is in seconds [11:47] iceroot: Hahaha. I'll make sure to do that. xD [11:47] Raliegh: hardy needs to be removed and replaced with your current version, which is natty === ServerTechLaptop is now known as alib === alib is now known as althafibrahim1\ === althafibrahim1\ is now known as althafibrahim [11:48] iceroot: I take it that's bound to change with any new Ubuntu distros?

[11:51] it's broken, miserably [11:51] topriddy, sorry, don't care about guis :> [11:52] rumpe1: some people do care. Kinda hurting that these things arent so easy to locate any more.

[12:19] no im saying thats the option on the uubntu install [12:19] that's dangerous [12:19] syn-ack: in a seperate directory -_- [12:19] have you managed to get UBUNTU SERVER to boot with a HEADLESS (without monitor) VNC server? i.e. to have users use a graphics session remotely, without the server needing a monitor/keyboard and local input to work [12:19] and I mainly do web development, so I just throw it in /var/www/ [12:19] ah [12:20] but yeah... how to solve this issue? [12:20] hey guys… im trying to update the loading logo inside a chroot (to make a ISO), but it seems that im having problems with some partitions… anyone help? http://pastie.org/2884835 [12:20] even then, I'd personally symlink it to a dir in $HOME [12:20] it shouldnt matter where you put files as long as you know what you're doing [12:21] Don't know. like others have said, the error you're having seems to suggest a key error [12:21] well, it doesn't put the error in any of the files of /var/log [12:21] syn-ack: key error? [12:21] in other words a decryption error [12:21] :| [12:21] well, I can still see everything in /home/ [12:21] sooo... I guess it's not that? [12:22] Does HP tools work on ubuntu`? [12:23] (10.04 LTS) [12:23] any idea why imagemagick mucks up appending lots of highres images with only 2gb ram? :( [12:23] with the especially large images it outputs a pretty glitched image [12:23] im just looking for a hardware explanation, if there is one :P [12:24] wait a minute [12:24] TimothyA, Did you roll your own kernel? [12:24] Rictoo: thats weird, i thought it'd either work or fail [12:24] same here [12:24] Rictoo: graphicsmagick is meant to be improved version [12:25] thanks, i'll check it out [12:25] luist, fyi you need to do the mounting of proc,sys, ETC. before you chroot not after. But looks like you're using encrypted file system as well, so I can't help [12:25] TimothyA... [12:25] Rictoo: look on their site. they done a lot of code improvements so it might work better [12:25] syn-ack: no [12:25] I wonder if your initrd is jacked up for some reason [12:25] luist, you can see "/msg ubottu grub2" link for proper chroot instructions [12:26] "GraphicsMagick supports huge images and has been tested with gigapixel-size images." [12:26] ah, that's what i'm talking about. ;) [12:26] :) [12:26] TimothyA, Did this start happening after an upgrade? [12:26] wish i'd known this before i automated a system of dling image chunks off a website and deleting the originals [12:26] haha [12:27] Rictoo: i think the commands are the same but im not 100% sure [12:27] "GM suffers from fewer security issues and exploits." [12:27] syn-ack: no [12:27] out of the blue [12:27] Rictoo: i have both on my system but hardly touch them [12:27] i didnt know an image manipulation program could have security issues...? [12:27] I installed 11.04 and I stuck with 11.04 [12:27] Rictoo: but graphicsmagick is definately the better of the 2 [12:27] Gentoo64, what are you doing in an ubuntu channel with that nickname? :P [12:27] Rictoo: anything can have exploits pretty much.. [12:28] TimothyA, Have you checked your hardware? [12:28] vbox [12:28] Rictoo: i come in here quite abit [12:28] ah true i guess if it's accessible by the public on an open server it could be exploited [12:28] http://i.imgur.com/ee1Cw.png [12:28] Rictoo: probably local exploits with that ap [12:28] the thing is, vbox is installed, and it shouldn't be failing [12:29] hmm, they dont have the +append command in their benchmarks [12:29] and yes; I have reinstalled the guest additions 10 times now [12:29] Vbox isn't failing. [12:29] Rictoo: you might have th read the docs, im not sure about the commands. but afaik it can do everything imagemagick can [12:29] then I'm wondering what, because I can't find any logs to help me resolve the damn thing [12:29] i mean, they're not showing off how much faster +append is [12:30] this is almost as useful as windows's hardware error "Cannot start (code 10)" [12:30] i'll report back in a minute [12:30] TimothyA, klog isn't showing *anything*? [12:30] I did a grep through the whole /var/log directory [12:30] Don't grep [12:30] Hey, WEIRD problem. I'm losing directories at random. They're not getting deleted, but I know they were there yesterday [12:30] Kentrel: like what? [12:31] It started out having a few files missing, then being a corrupt directory, now its gone [12:31] klog isn't installed? [12:31] TimothyA, Get your eyes in there and look in case your syntax is wrong [12:31] Kentrel: try fsck maybe [12:31] .... jeesus christ, it needs 200MB to be installed?! [12:31] why does klog need UI libraries o.O [12:31] apt-get install klog, right? [12:32] or did you use it as an abbreviation for kernel.log ? [12:33] hmm [12:33] 5 seconds for graphicsmagick and 7 for imagemagick [12:33] not bad i guess [12:34] Gentoo64, [12:34] 5 seconds for graphicsmagick and 7 for imagemagick [12:34] Rictoo, i dont actually know much about either of those progs :) [12:34] now i wonder how it'll deal with those images that glitched up in imagemagick [12:34] I see a lot of "vboxguest loaded successfully" [12:34] hi...I am trying toreinstall software center . getting this error http://paste.debian.net/146488/ [12:35] well all i know it thats its better, and has cleaned up/improved code so it may be better [12:35] gdm has suddenly stopped showing the login screen and I am presented with a broken xfce4 desktop (no window manager) [12:35] TimothyA, It was an abbrev [12:35] how can I diagnose that?

[13:26] iceroot: which I already have re-installed [13:27] zykotick9: i guess its because of disc space but i dont know why not removing apt-get instead [13:27] zykotick9: disc = iso [13:27] TimothyA: did you get a terminal going on the X display? you could insgtall some minimal window manager and launch it the same way to see if we can get a working desktop. [13:28] iceroot, apt-get is unfortunately required for "some" things - sometimes you just need a big dumb stick ;) [13:28] iceroot: I don't know. They probably ditched aptitude to save some space.

[13:48] zykotick9: its used by many mini disrtos. and i used it in vnc for ages [13:48] Rictoo: who are you talking to? [13:49] you [13:49] ok, so how do i do this? make a line 'g www.google.com'? [13:49] or actually 'www.google.com g' i mean? [13:49] I don't know how to start it [13:50] but I can't use anything with jwm [13:50] gtk is freaking out over everything [13:50] Cause i tryied the last one Rictoo and it didn't work [13:50] hi guys, I m looking for a way to connect two ubuntu machines to create sortof lan using wifi with these two machines assigned manual ip. Any help? [13:50] TimothyA: Sorry don't know how to start it. possible need to edit .xinit .xsession [13:50] to *what* [13:50] blegh [13:50] anyway, how to reinstall the gtk runtimes? [13:50] Can URLs be used in a hosts file (thought it was IPs only)? Re: theishi [13:50] I'm getting sick and tired of this roundabout and misleading [13:51] how come ubuntu has all these problems getting Internet connections on encrypted networks. I travel a lot and had problems on many occasions. The forums are also full of people reporting problems. Any idea what I can do when I encounter his problem again? (I just had it here) [13:51] guest123: that would be what's called an ad-hoc connection [13:51] TimothyA: jwm was to be a test/simple desktop to get you a useable X desktop... [13:51] TimothyA: Whats the current situation, I've jumped in late to your problem [13:51] then you could trouble shoot the rest of the system from a working desktop [13:52] hey [13:52] deej1976, be aware TimothyA "might" be experiencing issue with encrypted swap and boot device. [13:52] zykotick9: nope, it was just delaying loading the driver [13:52] gtk is erroring out all over the place [13:52] regarding folder /sys and /bin and users sys and bin, how are folder permissions supposed to be configured? [13:52] thank you ubuntu, i just spent 2 hours trying to debug a problem that didn't even exist [13:53] developers, please fix the gnome image viewer [13:53] is it alright for the /sys /bin to be root owned? [13:53] it mucks up on high resolutions with 2gb ram where graphicmagick displays it properly === ivar is now known as Guest45502 [13:53] zebulon: root:root 755 is the default [13:53] zebulon: preferred, in fact :-) [13:53] I just installed jwm and seems to work ok for me. [13:53] ok, i'm dealing with some device uuid issues [13:53] TehDGM, thanks for the reply.. I created a adhoc network say abc on a machine assigning it some ip address, subnet n gateway... Now when I try to connect to this network abc using other machine, it fails! [13:53] wireshark for instance, won't run any of my interfaces... says the uuid is wrong [13:54] i might have chown/chmod something badly, but i can't remember, so i'm trying to fix it. [13:54] zebulon, "gksudo wireshark" [13:54] all I get with jwm is just a windows top bar. no menus or anything :| [13:54] and I'm limited to only a single console window without a means to spawn more [13:55] zykotick9: same error, with sudo/gksudo/su 'getpwuid_r(); failed do to unknown user id (0) [13:55] zebulon, using su or sudo with GUI apps is a really bad idea. Well, best of luck. [13:55] term menu item in jwm seems to fail here also. [13:55] zykotick9: thanks np [13:56] need an expert advice on testdisk URGENT! || http://paste.debian.net/146485/ [13:56] dr_willis, :| glad i'm not alone [13:56] hey folks [13:56] zebulon: you need to add yourself to the correct group... should be the uid added to the group... not the uuid. [13:56] i made my .xsession start a gnome-terminal & befor i did 'exec jwm' [13:57] you could always go to the console and do a 'export DISPLAY=:0.0' then 'xterm' [13:57] tyler_d: yes i've seen that solution on ubuntuforums, hasnt worked for me. [13:57] I created a adhoc network say abc on a ubuntu machine assigning it some ip address, subnet n gateway... Now when I try to connect to this network abc using another ubuntu machine, it fails! Am I doing something wrong [13:57] ? [13:57] zykotick9: we should file a bug report. :) [13:57] zebulon: then unfortunately you are not doing it correctly I :( [13:57] dr_willis, fyi - it's upstream from you (i'm using Debian) [13:57] TimothyA: Sounds like you have twm not jwm [13:57] ubuntu won't boot properly btw, i have to use grub recover mode and then select a normal boot, otherwise it hangs just before i can login [13:58] usr13: apt-get install jwm [13:58] I'm pretty sure that's jwm [13:58] tyler_d: i'm sure i've made a mistake myself... [13:58] and not twm [13:58] is anyone else having issues with plymouth starting xdm? [13:58] tyler_d: thats for sure ;) [13:58] zebulon: that is the solution though. I assure you. === tobias is now known as Guest56052 [13:58] dp: YES [13:58] er, no [13:58] gdm here [13:58] tyler - problem is it seems non-root processes need that solution, not root itself [13:59] tyler - my problems are most visible before login, then after login certain processes can't run, like ubuntu users&groups, date&time etc [13:59] TimothyA: Right clicking on the desktop area doesn't bring up context menu?

[13:59] which isn't twm [13:59] tyler - some group permission has been changed i'm sure... i just need to know if the sys/syslog/bin user-processes are the culprit, or my own shizzle root permissions [14:00] !hardy [14:00] Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu.

[14:00] no panels [14:00] it's GTK mucking up, I think [14:00] does jwm use gtk? [14:00] TimothyA: to get a terminal you could always go to the console and do a 'export DISPLAY=:0.0' then 'xterm' [14:01] TimothyA: no it does not. [14:01] how can i add a "rotate image" to the right click menu in pcmanfm? [14:01] xterm will spawn a new console window, yes [14:01] hello, i just did a fresh install of xubuntu 11.10 and after rebooting the display manager never starts. it just sits in a continuous loop of crashing and attempting to start. i cannot change to a console or do anything with the machine other than hard reset........ anyone know how to fix this? [14:01] but it makes the previous one unusuable [14:01] so what's the point of that? [14:01] TimothyA: xterm & [14:01] :| [14:01] Is there a better room to talk about the host file? [14:01] anyhow, for the 15th timwe: how do i REINSTALL GTK? [14:01] will make a xterminal window on teh X display.. not the console [14:02] theishi, no one answered, but I don't think URLs (www.google.com) are valid in the hosts file. [14:02] xterminal window, console, whatever you want to call it [14:02] vivid: can you get to the boot screen and boot into Linuxs safe mode? [14:03] I'm starting to get pissed off at ubuntu enough to just throw the damn thing out of the window altogether and remove ubuntu and install red hat on all the server [14:03] zykotick9: yeah i don't think so either... any idea on where i could go to find a file that could do this? [14:03] s [14:03] theishi, yes, but still doesnt help me figure out what to do [14:03] theishi, no idea. [14:03] TimothyA: what is your frustration if you don't mind TimothyA? [14:03] ........... [14:04] tyler_d: YOU'RE NOT BEING COOL BY USING THAT NICKNAME JUST BECAUSE YOU WATCHED A GOOD MOVIE [14:04] TimothyA: ahhh, re-install GTK?

I'm trying to help. And yes, it is a fantastic movie [14:04] would you like a glass of water?

[14:06] zebulon, in that case you should really be using some of the "tools" to do that then. usermod addgroup type stuff. [14:06] no idea why, because it doesn't tell me [14:07] x works as expected [14:07] jwm doesn't display the full WM set [14:07] TimothyA: From a term have you attempted to move your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and restart?

[14:08] TimothyA: pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log [14:09] and send resulting URL [14:09] TimothyA: I would at this point drop to term and start a `tail -f /var/log/*` then restart the x session; noting any errors that may occur [14:09] can anyone help me locate the mail.log ?

[14:32] iceroot: dr_willis: iPhone tethering [14:32] deej1976: no - that's the rub - when I right click it bnrings me back to the one that is already open if there is one [14:32] TimothyA: On another issue, you need to repair your soruces.list file. [14:33] iceroot: nope, I have a external wifi dongle but couldn't get the linux drivers for it to work [14:33] I believe it's called USB tethering, a hotspot is exclusively wi-fi, right ? [14:33] a external wifi dongle... is a wireless card. :) its just a usb one.. [14:33] craven: a linux-driver for the iphone as wifi-adapter? [14:33] jpmh: Just install putty [14:33] bbl [14:33] jpmh: Just installing putty myself [14:33] sattu94: the full thing is called 'Personal Hotspot' on the phone [14:33] great, now dbus is malfunctioning [14:33] On a default ubuntu install for 11.04, can I just disable cron or will all kinds of bad stuff happen? [14:34] CharminTheMoose: not a good idea to disable cron [14:34] iceroot: no a ubuntu driver for the iphone as a usb dongle (it shows up as a ethernet connection on winxp) [14:34] deej1976: what do you mean - I have putty installed - that's why I can open it from there [14:34] I found this tutorial http://www.marvinlemos.net/?p=321 but will I be able to install repositorys without a internet connection? [14:34] jpmh: I've installed putty to have a look [14:34] craven: hm sorry dont know, i (luckily) dont have stuff from apple [14:34] iceroot, why not? What stuff does cron manage? [14:35] CharminTheMoose: e.g. logrotate [14:35] craven: yes you need the internet, to get stuff from the repositories. [14:35] CharminTheMoose: and everything you will find with this command /cat /etc/cron.* [14:35] CharminTheMoose: what is the reason you want to disable cron? [14:35] sattu94: I have the internet on my xp partition (the one I'm on atm) anyway I could download them to my external hard drive and run them off that? [14:36] i just installed latest ubuntu on my mothers laptop and now i cant enable wireless, switch is not responding and its shut down, any hints? [14:36] craven: you can to that with deb-files, yes [14:36] in unity I now have in the launcher a tab for Update Manager, there is a number 32 in it, when I click on it nothing happens - why not [14:36] craven: but you dont get deb files from repos. [14:36] bo_root: Open the Terminal and run "lspci" so we can know what wireless card you have [14:36] after i set up my system to ubuntu 11.04 (my network controller is: Broadcom Corpartion BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wirless LAN Controller) I only can etablish a wirless connection to the router, but if i start a browser it says connection to the sever can't be establish. What can I do ? [14:37] iceroot, I don't personally have a need to run it anyway, like, I could run any of the commands I care about on an as-needed basis. [14:37] placki4ever: BCM43225 [14:37] Logrotate I could run when I needed to, like. [14:37] CharminTheMoose: that is not a good reason to disable cron [14:37] hope this is valid: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gillesg/ppa [14:37] CharminTheMoose: have a look at cat /etc/cron.daily/* some of that sounds important [14:37] bo_root and rootux: If you don't find any other solution, you can try using ndiswrapper to install the windows driver [14:38] TimothyA: sounds correct [14:38] sattu94: iceroot: I think I've found the deb-files here (https://launchpad.net/~pmcenery/+archive/ppa) not sure which 'ipheth' to download as there are several [14:38] TimothyA: YOU are malfunctioning. I would say that the first thing you need to do is edit /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the last 6 lines. [14:38] usr13: ... it doesn't even LOAD anything from those repositories except for nginx [14:38] craven: what is the output of "cat /etc/issue" [14:39] how do i tell apt-get to prefer 32bit files when on a 64 bit linux system? [14:39] TimothyA: Ok well you seem to know more about this than me. Sorry. I'll move on. [14:39] topriddy: why? [14:39] iceroot: don't have access to that atm as I'm on a different partition. I assume the version I'm supposed to download is derived from my ethernet card? [14:39] placki4ever: i am using ndiswrapper on FreeBSD, but to use it on ubuntu, i mean, i heard that on ubuntu works almost everything out of the box :) [14:39] topriddy you need ia-lib something [14:40] craven: no just the ubuntu-version is important. 10.10, 11.04, 11.10 or something like that [14:40] bo_root: yes, "almost", broadcom wireless seems to be one of those things who don't [14:40] craven: and your CPU arch, ubuntu version [14:40] iceroot: some stuff in the repos i added doesnt find amd64 indexes and is messing up my installations [14:40] iceroot: I'm on 11.04 [14:40] iceroot: i am following instructions here: http://code.google.com/p/v4l4j/wiki/DebianInstall [14:40] hi all .. i created an ubuntu server that I now need a GUI on .. is there a simple apt-get command to install a GUI? [14:40] topriddy: cat /etc/apt/sources.list and cat /etc/issue [14:40] jpmh: Just looking at adding a quicklist to the icon [14:40] !paste | topriddy [14:40] topriddy: 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. [14:41] jjg: depends on what "GUI" you want, there are multiple "GUI"s [14:41] craven: then you need the debfile for natty [14:41] sattu94: what's the default GUI or most commonly used GUI? [14:41] craven: make sure you get the correct srchitacture. [14:41] can i install nidswarpper by : sudo apt-get install nidswarpper ? [14:41] jjg: gnome, kde [14:41] rootux you mean ndiswrapper [14:42] ok .. gnome is what I'm used to. [14:42] apt-get install gnome? [14:42] jjg: gnome comes with ubuntu, kde comes with kubuntu [14:42] rootux: you can get its gui by sudo apt-get install ndis-gtk - this should also give ndiswrapper's cli [14:42] sattu94: got it, tx [14:42] iceroot: sattu94: Thanks, found a general one (I think) and will try the natty one if that fails. [14:42] jjg: you might need other packages too [14:42] I am running 2.6.32-35-generic #78, if I do a git clone of git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-lucid.git, is it possible for me to use my existing /boot/config-2.6.32-35-generic as the .config when rebuilding? I want to ensure everything is exactly the same except a hack I've made [14:42] craven: great [14:42] sattu94: will apt-get not resolve the dependencies for me? [14:42] thanks a lot :_) [14:42] synapse: yes the config should match because its the ubuntu-config [14:43] jjg: it will, but gnome will probably be bare bones GUI, [14:43] jjg: it will [14:43] jjg: what you want? install gnome3? [14:43] jjg: ig you need a fully functional desktop like ubuntu desktop, you might want to get the package "ubuntu-desktop"... === sins-- is now known as sins- [14:43] iceroot: do I need to do a make menuconfig if I use the config from /boot ? [14:43] Can someone private chat with me about ubuntu software centre [14:43] synapse: sorry dont know [14:43] sattu94: ok thanks [14:44] jjg: just ask your detailed question here [14:44] iceroot: yah, i think so [14:44] jjg: sorry wrong nick [14:44] JHH: just ask your detailed question here [14:44] it seems like everytime I have compiled a kenel, half of my stuff quits working [14:44] jjg: you are using ubuntu 11.10? [14:44] how to tell? [14:44] iceroot: I think so [14:44] jjg: cat /etc/issue [14:44] 11.10 [14:44] iceroot: please, why wont this work for me? The APT repository part :( http://code.google.com/p/v4l4j/wiki/DebianInstall [14:44] Hi. When I insert a SD disk or USB drive and try to open it via the unity launcher it tries to open the folder with the archive manager. How can I fix that? [14:44] jjg: you are using unity at the moment? [14:45] iceroot: it's a server install in a VM [14:45] topriddy: Starting with version 0.8.8, the Debian packages only support Lucid and subsequent releases. You have two options: [14:45] I cannot instal anything on software center, it says to check my internet connection. The internet conectgion is fine but it will not install. this has happened with lots of different apps i've tried to install [14:45] iceroot: I think I will create another VM with a GUI instead of downloading the packages .. it is 1.4 GB [14:45] jjg: if you need something lightweight lxde,xfce might do your job.. [14:45] sattu94: ok thanks [14:45] jjg: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop will bring you gnome3 + unity [14:46] jjg: but i dont think you need that on a server [14:46] placki4ever, sorry I tried sudo apt-get install ndis-gtk -- but it printed: packet can't be found... [14:46] anyone know why these four things seem to have nothing to do with each other: 1) layout used for typing stuff, 2) layout used for ctrl- type of shortcuts, 3) layout displayed next to the login screen or on top info applet thingie, and 4) layout shown when you click that info applet and select "show layout" [14:46] I cannot instal anything on software center, it says to check my internet connection. The internet conectgion is fine but it will not install. this has happened with lots of different apps i've tried to install [14:46] iceroot: if I do a default desktop install, does that include gnome3 + unity [14:46] JHH: can you ping google.com? [14:46] jjg: yes, if you have 11.10+.. [14:46] rootux: hmm... I forgot if it's in the repos or not... Anyway it *should* be on the CD [14:46] iceroot: I don't .. but after I installed I realized I want to keep multiple terminals open in my VM so I need X [14:46] jjg: yes [14:46] I've used two systems, and both 10.4 and 11.10, and the problem persist, so I think I can say that this is simply a bug in ubuntu [14:47] jjg: yes but needing x is different to install complete gnome3 with ubuntu-stuff [14:47] iceroot: tx [14:47] jjg: you can use ssh to connect to your vm or you can install x [14:47] jjg: and if u need multiple terminals, try byobu, or screen , or ctrl+alt+F(num) [14:47] jjg: on a server. [14:47] iceroot: yep .. thanks [14:48] sattu94: thanks [14:48] : ping? sorry I'm a noob [14:48] creating a new VM now [14:48] JHH: no problem. can you e.g. browse the internet with firefox? [14:48] JHH: lets use this chat instead [14:49] yes i can [14:49] JHH: you know how to open a terminal? [14:49] yep [14:49] iceroot: you said i have two options?? I am waiting please. [14:49] topriddy: read the link you gave me [14:49] topriddy: i just copied the text from there [14:50] JHH: please paste the output of "cat /etc/issue" and "cat /etc/apt/sources.list" and "sudo apt-get update" [14:50] !paste | JHH [14:50] JHH: 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. [14:50] jpmh: Sorry, I can't get the infomation for a quicklist right [14:50] my CD drive doesn't seem to work. [14:51] !work | Pilif12p [14:51] Pilif12p: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [14:51] hey guys… im trying to update the loading logo inside a chroot (to make a ISO), but it seems that im having problems with some partitions… anyone help? http://pastie.org/2884835 [14:51] jpmh: Why not just use a terminal and ssh [14:51] iceroot: i dont understand the *Lucid and subsequent releases part* I am on Ubuntu 11.10. I have tried manual installation too and it fails. i am grabbing on straws now. :( [14:52] topriddy: lucid is ubuntu 10.04 [14:52] topriddy: the page wants to tell you that you must enable a ppa for versions higher then 10.04 [14:52] http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1386788 [14:52] deej1976: putty is MUCH better that ssh - right now what I am doing to make the second instance is: terminal and then invoking putty there - horrible kludge [14:52] luist according to fstab, it seems you mounted / to some non-recognized device [14:52] luist: maybe there's no partition set as "/" in /etc/fstab or it's set incorrectly? [14:53] topriddy: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gillesg/ppa && sudo apt-get udpate && sudo apt-get install libv4l4j-java [14:53] deej1976: and more to the point - what if I want to do this with other things - does unity stop me [14:53] MonkeyDust: placki4ever: its a chroot and tutorial only told me to mount /sys and /rpoc [14:53] luist: sounds likes / is encrpyted? [14:53] okay pasted there [14:53] JHH: i need the link to view it [14:53] jpmh: Look at running a terminal with a screen session, Then you can have 9 easy accessible ssh sessions in one terminal [14:53] iceroot: ? [14:54] iceroot: ^ [14:54] : http://paste.ubuntu.com/745168/ [14:54] jpmh: if you say putty is better i think you like beer :) ? have a look at "screen" [14:54] iceroot: i did all that before. on runing of second command i get a 404 Not Found error on /binary-amd64/Packages [14:54] luist: Well, looks like the system is telling you to mount something as "/" now, see if that helps [14:55] iceroot: then i decided to try the sane/sane.d/jsane option. met headaches with that too. :( [14:55] JHH: hm everything is fine and the package-files are transfered succesfully [14:55] Pilif12p: Have you tried adding -o loop [14:55] placki4ever: what should i mount as "/" ? [14:55] topriddy: then the ppa is not providing stuff for ubuntu 11.10 [14:55] topriddy: contact the ppa maintainer /wiki author and ask if there is a ppa for 11.10 [14:55] so why wont it let me install? [14:56] so why wont it let me install? [14:56] JHH: you said there was an error about fetching an amd64 package file [14:56] any point in debugging 11.10 failure to automount DVDs on a Dimension 8300? [14:56] tarvid: dmesg [14:57] empty when I insert a DVD [14:57] JHH: ah sorry you said that software-center cant connect to the internet [14:57] it is a regression and used to work [14:57] hola [14:57] JHH: what software you want to install? [14:57] luist: the main partition, the one holding everything else mounted, the one keeping the system files, but it seems to be weird that you can edit "/etc/fstab" and access other files when "/" is not specifed... [14:57] new kernel today did not fix [14:57] can anyone reccomend a decent alternative to cpanel for ubuntu server? [14:58] okay its workign now it looks like. I'm trying to intall drivers for a printer [14:58] JHH: ah ok, good to hear [14:59] manual mount fails - no mediusm in drive [14:59] iceroot: thanks 'friend', i appreciate all the help/support. [14:59] iceroot: what screen? anyway = the issue is more generic - lets assume I want to launch a second copy of anything [14:59] obviously a kernel bug [14:59] jpmh: open a terminal and type "screen" [14:59] jpmh: also see "man screen" [15:00] jpmh: when inside the screen session you can use "ctrl + a +c" to open a new screen/tab, switch them with "ctrl + a + n" [15:00] iceroot: i wonder why the manual installation sucks though. I keep going in circles of dependency management. would wish all other deps were transparently just installed. [15:00] jpmh: screen will also hold the session open, even when you close the ssh connection [15:00] topriddy: not when the versions are not matching [15:01] topriddy: then you dont want an automaticly installation [15:01] do we reckon one can just read stufff directly from vide [15:01] do we reckon one can just read stufff directly from /dev/video* stream directly [15:01] jpmh: there is nothing more powerfull then screen + ssh (vim of course but that is another topic) [15:02] hi [15:03] hello === sysadamin|away is now known as sysadamin [15:05] placki4ever: hi [15:05] Hi [15:05] placki4ever: quiet in here today...

[15:17] placki4ever : so far its the only problem im having with 11.10.. everything else seems to be just peachy :) [15:17] this one ^ mean ? [15:17] azertyii : sorry no idea [15:17] azertyii: try to rephrase your question [15:18] ok [15:18] i can see in most case in command line ppl are used to use this sign ^, i don't know what's for ? [15:20] how can install such a packet in terminal: ndiswrapper-1.57rc1.tar.gz [15:20] seems everything i try to install have unmet dependencies. *sigh* [15:20] azertyii: show us an example [15:21] something as simple as sudo apt-get install build-essential doesnt work for me [15:21] rootux: It will be easier for you to download a .deb file instead [15:21] topriddy| pastebinit output [15:21] topriddy: paste the result/output somewhere [15:22] rootux: isnt the ndiswrapper in the softwarecenter? [15:22] i want a good tutorial about the ice service. can't find anything [15:22] m3talh3ad1: What is the 'ice service'?

[15:23] Chees_BHW: i.e. using find/locate in cli [15:23] Pici: i can't describe it better. i saw it in the mumble tutorial [15:23] i tried - its not working, odb|fidel [15:23] topriddy: sudo apt-get pastebinit ? returns error [15:23] Chees_BHW: for sure find/locate do work [15:23] i mean it doesnt find it [15:23] Chees_BHW: /etc/rsyslog.conf (or rsyslog.d/*) [15:24] m3talh3ad1: If its mumble specific, maybe the folks in #mumble have a better idea? [15:24] llutz its not in /etc .. thats why Im confused [15:24] yeah maybe [15:24] Chees_BHW: apt-cache policy rsyslog |grep -i iinsta [15:24] domnic : wah [15:25] is there anyway to fix this proxy bug? [15:25] llutz can i pl u ? [15:25] grep "^[bB]" fic4 [15:25] pm* [15:25] grep "^[bB]" fic4 odb|fidel [15:25] Chees_BHW: nope, keep it in the channel [15:25] this is just only an exemple [15:25] i have installed tor proxy and its working, but i cant configure it with chrome [15:25] llutz in /etc there is rsyslog.d and inside there's only postfix.conf - i can give a pastebin [15:26] azertyii: its part of the regex syntax. Its not really in the scope of this channel, but outside the brackets it means to match the beginning of the line, inside the brackets it is a negation. [15:26] azertyii : ^Y means Ctrl-Y, http://www.answers.com/topic/caret [15:26] rootux: I told you to install ndis-gtk using apt-get before... Sorry, it's "ndisgtk" ( no "-"). Try it again with the correct name, please [15:26] azertyii: the sign in general is calleD: circumflex [15:26] Chees_BHW: there should also be the rsyslog.conf [15:26] inz, he will learn to compile for its need he's already there...will take some time to do it [15:26] it should negate an expression afaik [15:27] llutz there isnt :S [15:27] how is Ubuntu support for sane? am considering that now. [15:27] sane + jsane. [15:27] domnic : ooo ok.. im a noob to ubuntu myself.. hvnt really had time to learn the inner workings :( [15:27] so far i keep hitting errors in that too. Should we just say linux isnt to good for peripheral devices? [15:28] grep "^[bB]" fic4 odb|fidel [15:28] llutz in rsyslod.d there is 1 file - postfix.conf and there's the content of it http://pastebin.com/wM94jhgu [15:28] azertyii: Was there something wrong with my answer? [15:28] grep "^[bB]" fic4 ok so if i understand well this command is [15:28] Chees_BHW: why did you remove it? ;) get a default rsyslog.conf from someone using the same distro-version as you [15:28] hi all, I want to execute a python script when I log in, but haven't found the right place to do that [15:29] llutz lol i didnt. maybe my hosting modified the ubuntu LAMP .. [15:29] tried .bash_profile, .bash_login [15:29] equal to grep "^[bB]" fic4 = grep "[bB]" fic4 [15:29] where does ubuntu keep the dm to start (gdm/kdm/xdm/etc) ? [15:29] and .bashrc [15:29] correct ? [15:29] alright guys.. thanks for all ur help [15:29] cheerio n gudnight! [15:30] llutz my default user in ubuntu LAMP 10.4 is root so i dont sudo - is that normal or my hosting provider modified something ? [15:30] do you get what i mean Pici [15:30] ?

After performing a usual apt-get update/upgrade this morning, my laptop with an ATI graphics card using the open-source drivers on ubuntu 11.10 is running incredibly slowly. [15:31] ok thanks llutz [15:31] hey [15:31] Chees_BHW: i'll paste you my conf, 2 secs [15:31] !dbus [15:31] Can anyone help? [15:32] well anyone can aswer to my questioN , [15:32] ? [15:32] I have installed 11.10. during the boot process I see the ubuntu splash screen...then goes blank and I see a blinking cursor in the upper left. From that point I have waited for at least 10 minutes and the cursor is still there. If I press Alt-F2 I am put on a nice new vtty and given the opportunity to log in. How can I fix the initial startup so that I am prompted with a login without pressing Alt_F2?

[15:35] Hello everyone. After performing a usual apt-get update/upgrade this morning, my laptop with an ATI graphics card using the open-source drivers on ubuntu 11.10 is running incredibly slowly. Can anyone help? [15:35] ok perfect i get now llutz [15:35] thanks [15:36] UICTamale: what is slow? [15:36] Everything. Moving windows, typing in the terminal [15:36] etc [15:36] the entire device or just x/gui related things? [15:36] I believe it's all X related [15:36] hi, does anyone know about this stuff: http://pastebin.com/VpkgJUcS ... i got it after changing my hostname... [15:36] The mouse is responding quickly [15:36] UICTamale, you should read the manual before upgrade.. according to system requirements. [15:36] but that's about it [15:37] Really?? The update manager doesn't really warn you that things might be unusable after just updating your packages.. :[ [15:37] domnic: he is talking about apt-get upgrade [15:37] it's weird cuz now i can't upgrade or install anythin at the CLI [15:37] domnic: no "do-release-upgrade" [15:38] Good morning, I have a final ram question. I am purchased 16gb of ram today I have these two options Centon 1333Mhz - http://bit.ly/v8zFJo (Radioshack - Total: $100) or PNY 1066Mhz - http://bit.ly/v0FAqP (CompUSA/Tigerdirect - Total: $80) [15:38] I guess one of my main questions is whether I should be using the open source drivers at all.. with my last laptop I had to use fglrx [15:38] surfdue: ##hardware [15:38] please help, does anyone here knows how i can remove these in my ifconfig output: http://pastebin.com/VpkgJUcS [15:38] cd ##hardware [15:38] ;) [15:38] this command is used what kind of purpose ? eval [15:38] But I was humming along fine with the open source drivers until 20 minutes ago [15:38] Somehow, my flash is all laggy/buggy. Screen freezes every couple of second, screens to fade correctly... [15:38] How can I fix this? [15:39] no i simply want to say read the system requirement before you upgrade ..simply typing command in terminal will end you like this...sorry for this words [15:39] azertyii: i'd think your teacher wants YOU to do your homework, not us [15:39] domnic: I thought it was good to always stay up to date [15:39] where does ubuntu keep the dm to start (gdm/kdm/xdm/etc) ? [15:39] domnic: again, we are talking about apt-get upgrade. your sentence does not make any sense [15:39] hi folks, this morning i updated oneiric to kernel 3.0.0-12 and now i'm getting a kernel error on boot: "CIFS VFS: could not allocate crypto hmacmd5" i have a few CIFS mounts in my fstab. am i missing a dependency or something? [15:40] UICTamale: maybe "top" is showing what is causing a high load? [15:40] anyone else ? [15:40] azertyii: ? [15:41] iceroot: overall cpu usage is very low, but X is using almost 90% [15:41] command "Xorg" [15:41] azertyii: This channel is not a repalcement for reading manpages. Maybe You should take a look at a bash programming guide or the guides listed in the topic of #bash [15:41] UICTamale: any hints in the xorg.log? [15:41] [ 40.164] (II) RADEON(0): Allocate new frame buffer 3840x1296 stride 3840 [15:41] [ 40.164] (II) RADEON(0): VRAM usage limit set to 210913K [15:42] UICTamale: is this also in the logs before you did the upgrade? [15:42] how do I kill gnome from the command line? [15:43] guys I configure dual monitor in ubuntu 11.10 in gnome classig but where there is the pannel on the top of the screen in stead of being as usual now I see that its taking half of the screen. how can I eliminate this problem, I have NVIDia driver on Latitude e6510 [15:43] oo good idea.. let me check. [15:43] DrPo0: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm3 stop [15:43] DrPoO: sudo servide gdm stop (or lightdm) [15:43] !upstart | shanept [15:43] shanept: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [15:43] DrPo0: Must be run from terminal NOT gnome-terminal [15:43] iceroot: looks like it, yes [15:43] iceroot: Thanks [15:43] UICTamale, sorry for the drift.. can you paste output of ..lspci | grep VGA [15:43] UICTamale: ok then i dont think its the issue [15:43] thanks iceroot [15:43] hallo [15:44] iceroot: I'm thinking I should try the proprietary AMD driver [15:44] UICTamale: what is the package-name of the open-source driver you are using? [15:45] UICTamale: maybe "apt-get changelog packagename" has some usefull infos [15:45] xserver-xorg-video-ati [15:45] and xserver-xorg-video-radeon [15:46] LINUX Kernel Update is here!! [15:46] UICTamale: what card exactly are you talking about? [15:46] UICTamale: last changed 11.08.2011 [15:46] UICTamale: both [15:46] Kernel 3.0.0.13.15 FTW!! [15:46] UICTamale: on 11.10 [15:46] !gpt [15:46] Oh... there is a 3.1 version already available? [15:47] I have the firepro m8900 [15:47] no one else seeing CIFS errors on 11.10 after upgrade to 3.0.0-12? [15:47] Well... I use UBUNTU [15:47] Osmodivs: won't be, at least not for Oneiric [15:47] you know what [15:47] I'm going to try mint [15:47] szal: I just downloaded ati-driver-installer-11-11-x86.x86_64.run [15:47] I'm tired of this ubuntu [15:48] szal: Can Ubuntu Break if I compile the latest Kernel? [15:48] UICTamale: that was not the question [15:48] How can I use GUID Partition Table method with installer than using default MBR style partitioning scheme? [15:48] Osmodivs: I pretty much guess so [15:48] I have a kernel module set in debug mode yet i can not figure out where the messages go, they're not in dmesg, /var/log/syslog or /var/log/kern.log [15:48] webBuilder: Mint is just Ubuntu in shinier packaging [15:48] szal: VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Blackcomb [AMD Radeon HD 6900M Series] - it's the firepro M8900 [15:48] ... I'll stick with Ubuntu's tailored Kernel [15:49] Thank you very much [15:49] UICTamale, uname -a [15:49] :exit [15:49] domnic: Linux tamastation 3.0.0-13-generic #22-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 2 13:27:26 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [15:49] please help, does anyone here knows how i can remove these in my ifconfig output: http://pastebin.com/VpkgJUcS [15:49] orated: If your drive is larger than 2 TiB then GPT will be used by default. If not, then you can get the installer to use gpt by creating a GPT label with GParted first, then installing Ubuntu. [15:49] Where can I find a driver for (Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller) ? -- I already googled it and search on the Broadcom site but I don't find anything. [15:49] szal, propably it is but the gui change is not working for me in dual monitor, I ask a question no one answer, they keep creating new OS every freaking 6 month yet the changes do not do other than westing my time [15:50] UICTamale: are you sure your card is listed as supported by that driver? [15:50] at this point even Windows 7 is great [15:50] at list lately doesn't break [15:50] webBuilder: complain elsewhere. [15:50] I have Ubuntu 11.10 and want to put spyder into the list of icons in my launcher panel. I can run spyder via terminal but would prefer to be able to click on an icon instead. Any suggestions as to how I might do that, please? [15:50] UICTamale, so what's the big deal to provide uname -a [15:50] sipior, this is I think the right place, we are westing time by creating new version every six month common [15:51] domnic: ? I just pasted it [15:51] webBuilder: you're mistaken. [15:51] how much time did you really wested in updating upgrading etc... [15:51] webBuilder: This channel is for support, not for unproductive complaining. Good luck with a new OS, but please keep discussion here to productive support questions. [15:52] Jordan_U, I really did ask a legitimate problem no one answer except gang banging on my complains [15:52] what is the performance hit if I was to use a swap file rather than a partition? [15:52] hey folks, is network-manager able to manage bridged connections? [15:52] here? [15:52] webBuilder: dont you get it? your input is not about support - so you are somehow in the wrong place to discuss it [15:52] I am trying to set up a virtual machine host with KVM and bridged networking. I used command line to create the bridge, but then network manager gets upset and stops managing the network. [15:52] incorrect: partition will be faster (but i dont think you will see the differences) [15:53] including not connecting to my VPN [15:53] "here is my legitimate question I have had" guys I configure dual monitor in ubuntu 11.10 in gnome classig but where there is the pannel on the top of the screen in stead of being as usual now I see that its taking half of the screen. how can I eliminate this problem, I have NVIDia driver on Latitude e6510 [15:53] webBuilder: If nobody knows the answer to your question then nobody will answer it. That does not give you a right to continue with offtopic and unproductive complaining. This is your last warning to stop. [15:53] iceroot, i was thinking about using a file on an encrypted partition, rather than using encrypted swap [15:53] incorrect, a swap file can also not be used for hibernation [15:53] incorrect, if you have low ram swap will help you till some extend [15:54] maybe i should just upgrade to 8GB and forget having swap [15:54] there are hibernation-methods working with swap-files. just the default won't [15:55] incorrect, what you really want to do [15:55] oh yes, 8gb is nothing [15:55] I am not sure that the default AMD linux driver includes support for my card. I don't see a list of cards it supports anywhere. I did however find this page: http://askubuntu.com/questions/57612/dell-m6600-amd-firepro-m8900-graphics-driver-and-power-issues [15:56] in terms of cost [15:56] incorrect: you'll want at least some swap, irrespective of ram allotment. [15:56] sipior, i don't care about hibernate [15:57] phunyguy, i'd be surprised if N-M can do bridging stuff, i too use KVM+bridge networking (but no N-M here). Best of luck, with your N-M VPN you might need it ;) [15:57] incorrect, no performance hit [15:57] incorrect: i wasn't referring to hibernation. [15:57] why would i want swap with more ram than i can shake a stick at? [15:57] doh... thanks zykotick9 [15:57] incorrect: you'll want swap to handle unused memory allocations, to keep them out of ram. [15:57] Jordan_U, since you worned me here is a good question then 1) why there is new version of ubuntu every 6 month, 2) why it's pops up if I do not upgrade to the new version the message every time I start the machine, and yet when I upgrade things are not working, is there a way to stop those messages and stick to the older version [15:58] sipior, just means they have to swap in if i need them [15:58] incorrect: trading €0.10/GB disk space for €20+/GB ram is not terribly clever. [15:58] * pangur is away: Gone away for now [15:58] webBuilder: 1) cause canonical decided too - 2) cause you havent reconfigured the behaviour [15:58] simple isnt it? [15:58] I need help installing epson printer packages. I have downloaded the correct ones from the internet but I'm a newb and have no idea how to install them. shopuld they appear in additional drivers? [15:58] incorrect: ideally, they'll never actually be written to disk (they are allocated but not used) [15:59] exit [15:59] another issue I am having is VNC connections, I can connect to a remote machine, and see the screen updating, but mouse and keyboard movements are not sent. ("View Only" is NOT selected) [15:59] webBuilder: some call it release-cycle (regarding 1)) [16:00] webBuilder: 1) Is not a support question, please stop asking. 2) I don't know of a way to stop those messages other than installing an LTS release of Ubuntu and making sure that only LTS Releases prompt for upgrades (the default if you originally installed an LTS release). [16:01] phunyguy, does the box you're connecting to have compiz running? if so, try disabling compiz and see if VNC works then. [16:01] I need help installing epson printer packages. I have downloaded the correct ones from the internet but I'm a newb and have no idea how to install them. shopuld they appear in additional drivers? [16:01] Jordan_U, and odb|fidel thanks for the answer specially the answer of 2 [16:01] zykotick9, I can see the desktop and see stuff happening on the screen, just can't click. [16:02] webBuilder: Note that even though I don't know of any other way, I'm sure there is one. But keep in mind that you will need to upgrade eventually when the Ubuntu version you're running goes EOL. [16:02] webBuilder: You're welcome. [16:02] phunyguy, yes i know - i read it the first time ;) [16:02] webBuilder: start 'Software sources' and reconfigure the checks how you like em [16:02] zykotick9, can compiz be disabled with unity? [16:02] I have installed spyder on my Ubuntu 11.10 and can run it by typing "spyder" in terminal. I would like to have it as an icon in my launcher instead. How do I do that? [16:02] phunyguy_, nope [16:02] and I would love to disable it but i can't click. [16:02] there is really no need to be notified as long as you care yourself manually about updates then [16:02] lol [16:02] webBuilder: If you don't want to see any distribution upgrade notices, make sure you have Prompt=never in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades [16:02] I am at work, and that box is at home [16:02] Jordan_U, is there a way manually edit the GUI of Ubuntu gnome classic it's taking half of the screen [16:02] genii-around, Thank you [16:03] pangur: Is spyder a graphical app? [16:03] it is an ide [16:03] what does The following packages have unmet dependecies mean?? i seem to be getting it for every single apt-get install command i run. [16:04] topriddy: which part is confusing you of the message? [16:04] webBuilder: Please address questions to the entire channel rather than directing them to me. [16:04] topriddy: Are you running apt-get update before the apt-get install ? [16:04] Thank you so much to all of you for trying to help. even tho I sounded to you a bit complainer [16:04] genii-around: i did that update before. i am simply testing installing of vlc now. [16:04] pangur: Assuming it is a graphical app , you can drag it to the desktop from the dash [16:04] webBuilder: You're welcome. [16:05] Hi! I have a problem with Ubuntu Virtualbox running windows 7. I have mounted my ubuntu home profile, and I can explore it normally. But, if I open a program (microsoft word, for example) and open an explorer (for open a file, save a file, whatever) it goes extremelly slow. I think the reason is that I see my "home folder" (which is detected as an unit) marked as disconnected, but can't change that. Someone knows how can I fix this? Thanks! [16:05] odb|fidel: I am wondering why it wont just install dependencies and let me be. [16:05] topriddy: you could try changing the mirror [16:05] /me tries vibhav's advice [16:05] olA [16:05] Gentoo64: mirror? i thought we could have several repos url in ubuntu? [16:06] OK, that worked, thanks, vibhav :) [16:06] topriddy: sudo apt-get update grabs the most updated list of packages. So if you run it just before trying to install something, the packages will have much less chance of unmet dependencies. [16:06] OLAAA [16:06] pangur: :) [16:06] !es | usuario [16:06] usuario: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [16:06] topriddy: This also happens if you you have for instance a mix of packages from PPAs [16:06] Vibhav, supplementary question: Can I edit the icon that was generated? [16:07] genii-around: i added a ppa:XXXX to repos, it keeps giving Not Found error everytime i run an update. i think i should remove it, but not sure how [16:08] Is there a way of editing/replacing icons in launcher? [16:08] pangur: try system, preferences, main menu [16:08] topriddy: Any PPAs you added will be in the directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ .. you can ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ to get the name it has there for it, then sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/whatever-ppa-name-is.list [16:08] Jordan_U: Is MBR way the default style of partitioning used by Ubuntu? How much space I should assign when using GParted to create GPT before installation? Is there any proper place of HDD it needs allocation or can be kept in the end, middle? Can it be allocated on second HDD with OS on other drive? [16:08] ty SeaWookie :) [16:09] pangur: yw hope it helps [16:09] topriddy: Then of course sudo apt-get update ... to update the internal list of whats available [16:09] pangur, decorations :(( [16:10] SeaWookie: I can find system settings but neither preferences nor main menu ... eek! [16:10] Decorations, domnic? [16:11] pangur: that might be for gnome2 [16:11] pangur: what version of ubuntu? [16:11] 11.10 [16:12] To be honest, I preferred the classic ubuntu to this dash stuff. [16:12] * pangur is a migrant from M$ Windows. [16:13] almost everyone hates the dash [16:13] I was scared to say in case I offended someone. [16:13] Gentoo64, `dash...? is it bash [16:13] is there any known problem in sharing a /home between two Ubuntu installations (Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Ubuntu 11.10) in particular about different configuration/settings due to different packages versions? [16:13] pangur: ah ok you have unity [16:14] Yeah Unity. [16:14] Andy80: i wouldnt [16:14] However, I am eager to move to something more intuitive for me. [16:14] pangur: i didnt like it so stayed at 10...let me look [16:14] Not eager to go back to 10 though :) [16:14] Andy80: /home should only be a few MB anyway unless you store videos or whatever in there [16:14] pangur: theres other variants of ubuntu with different desktops [16:15] !nounity | pangur [16:15] This was the default wubi installation. [16:15] there are also kde, xfde, lxde... [16:15] pangur: 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 [16:15] Gentoo64: well... my /home is lot of Gb since it contains pictures, video, documents ecc... [16:15] look at kubuntu, it looks a bit like windows 7 [16:15] Andy80, please tell the problem to session .. [16:15] Andy80: well if the apps are different versions, then itll mess up the configs. i would make a partition/drive for the pics and vids and share that [16:16] Thanks xangua and Gentoo64. [16:16] domnic: what do you mean exactly? [16:16] Gentoo64: ok, understand... thanks [16:17] Andy80, please elaborate you question [16:17] domnic: he has... [16:18] Gentoo64, i need more specification before i can comment ... [16:18] his question has already been answered [16:18] yeah [16:18] genii-around: i just did that now. now there is absolutely nothing at all in my sources.list.d folder [16:18] Andy80, sharing home between two different installs can certainly lead to issue (but might not) - it's certainly a risk for breaking the ~/.* config files for both installs (you've been warned, now do as you want) [16:18] Gentoo64, thanks .. :))) [16:18] What is the best way to get php 5 and apache 2 running on ubuntu 10.04 === monty is now known as monty` [16:19] zykotick9: thanks to you too :) [16:19] genii-around: i still cant install vlc though, :( [16:19] I saw the command "sudo apt-get install lamp-server" but I wasn't sure how well that worked [16:19] b0ot: just install them separately. It's worked fine for me [16:19] b0ot try tasksel [16:19] !lamp | b0ot [16:19] b0ot: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [16:19] topriddy: Can you pastebin the output from trying to install it? [16:19] linthesia isn't working, anybody uses linthesia? [16:20] !taskel [16:20] !tasksel [16:20] Tasksel is a Debian/Ubuntu tool that installs multiple related packages as a co-ordinated "task" onto your system, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Tasksel for more information. Use tasksel only to INSTALL tasks, not to remove them. It will remove every package listed within the removed task! see https://launchpad.net/bugs/574287 [16:20] I'll just reinstall 11.10 from scratch, since upgrading from 11.04 really made my system unusable [16:20] b0ot: sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql-server [16:20] b0ot, tasksel is a program "sudo tasksel" [16:20] hi. [16:20] genii-around, only the extension of the file is enough [16:20] domnic: ? [16:21] genii-around: please can you tell me what irc app is available on my ubuntu 11 by default? i cant easily pastebin, am using irc on windows and doing admin work on another linux system [16:21] does someone know if it's possible to have nautilus doesn't try to keep the same rights when copying a file ? [16:21] jww as in what? [16:21] topriddy: I believe it's Empathy [16:22] if you copy a file from /hom as root, itll be owned by root [16:22] genii-around, to my knowledge you are trying to install some package [16:22] like if I was using cp, not providing -p parameter. [16:22] domnic: whats your native language? [16:22] hi: I have problems in ubuntu oracle virtualbox running windows 7. Shared folders are disconnected and it goes very slow [16:22] Gentoo64, does that matter.. [16:22] domnic: No. topriddy is trying to install vlc but getting some dependency errors. I am trying to assist them by having them pastebin their errors so it can be examined. [16:23] sudo tasksel install lamp-server fails [16:23] domnic: well you dont seem to understand anything [16:23] Gentoo64: I dunno if I was clear. [16:23] how do i allow mongodb to write a folder, i get permission denied [16:24] topriddy: You could also install pastebinit then do like: sudo apt-get install vlc | pastebinit ... then just give the url [16:24] Gentoo64, so you figured you the language instead..its a good community simply don't go for it..i keep it that way [16:24] well, i didnt understand that either [16:25] how do i allow a user to write to a folder on a mounted driver [16:25] it's working after an update [16:25] but it says 20 minutes to install [16:25] ... for a lamp-server [16:27] fission try sudo [16:28] Hello everyone.. unfortunately I'm not having much luck with the proprietary drivers either.. All transparency looks garbled, I can't use the HDMI out, and font antialiasing is so broken I can't read most fonts. [16:28] So my choices are extremely slow open-source, or broken propreitary? [16:28] can anyone tell me how to specify MORE DHCP options for Qemu/libvirt? I need to specify DNS search suffix for guests. Thanks [16:28] bbiab [16:29] fission6: what filesystem? either use correct mount-options on non-unix fs or adjust ownership/permissions on unix-fs [16:29] can someone help me with changing permissions so that a user can write to a mount [16:29] fission6: try sudo [16:29] if it says permission denied [16:29] uictamale: you coult use no accelerate solutions like unity-2d or gnome fallback mode [16:29] don't use the name of root in vain. [16:30] no i am running mongodb and i get a permissions issue, i think the user mongodb needs to be able to twrite to the folder i configued the db for [16:30] fission6: don't try sudo, try understanding what's going on. [16:30] i am not sure how to give the right permissions, do i add a group or what/ [16:30] fission6: adjust ownership/permissions on unix-fs [16:30] i know whats going on, mongod use needs r+w for the folder [16:30] jww: i thought he meant to a normal mount [16:30] then sudo would be right [16:30] Gentoo64: nonsense [16:30] sudo what? [16:31] llutz: ? [16:31] fission6: sudo nothing, show us the command you type, and the error message. [16:31] i just need to make the user mongod be able to read and write to.from /the/db/path [16:31] Gentoo64: using sudo is nonsense. he just has to configure permissions and ownership correctly [16:31] Unable to create/open lock file: /space/mongodb/db/mongod.lock errno:13 Permission denied Is a mongod instance already running?, terminating [16:31] and no, its not running [16:31] Gentoo64: that what file-permissions are for. [16:31] fission6: add the user to the group the folder belongs to [16:32] llutz: well yeah you could chmod or chown, but thats not always the best way. sometimes you want to keep stuff owned by root [16:32] fission6: so what does ls -l /space/mongodb/db do ? [16:32] Gentoo64: not in this case. [16:32] jww total 0, but i am a different user then what mongo runs under [16:32] Gentoo64, you really don't require those command in ubuntu.. [16:32] domnic: good luck never using sudo [16:33] Got a weird problem with a new ubuntu install. I have a bunch of makefiles that output ANSI terminal codes, ex. 'echo -e "\e[36;1mBlah\e[0m"'. These work fine on my other systems but in make under Ubuntu it loses the esc/formatting (from the command line the same echo works fine). Any ideas? [16:33] Gentoo64, don't give advance command to new user.. [16:33] kyubutsu: i think you are right, how do i do that [16:33] domnic: stop troling [16:33] domnic: You aren't being helpful here. Please stop. [16:34] guys settle down, i just need to either add the user to the group or change ownership, i dont know which one is "best" [16:34] Gentoo64, ok.. only looking ..sorry [16:34] fission6: add your user to the mongo group [16:34] Hey all [16:34] fission6: sorry at first i thought mongo was your normal username :) [16:35] there is no mongo group i dont believe [16:35] so does anyone know how to get virtual box to boot my windows xp partition [16:35] When using a KVM with Ubuntu - my graphic drivers do not seem to load properly if I the KVM is not pointing to the Ubuntu PC. Is this a known problem and is there a workaround? [16:35] i just want to change the /space/mongo folder so that the user mongod can read and write - thats all [16:36] fission6: chown -R [16:36] MVanDruff: perhaps the folks in #vbox know [16:36] MVanDruff: Easy. [16:36] Gentoo64: do i want to do that or change the group [16:37] is there a command line method of exporting ufw rules? [16:37] hi guys do u know some channel that speaks about python ?

[16:41] Gentoo64, I want to boot the secondary os while in linux i am tired of having to restart for my wife [16:41] MVanDruff: youll have to make a vbox disk and install it again === spinx_ is now known as spinx60 [16:41] SolarisBoy: yes, when I copy over a sftp share, it try to keep rights like on the original file. [16:42] MVanDruff: otherwise youll have to reboot and dual boot [16:42] i think what i should do is create a group and make the group have read write on /space/mongo, right? [16:42] fission6: yeah you could [16:42] fission6: if its for something specific [16:42] hmm [16:43] Gentoo64, do you meen that i can run them simultaneously [16:43] MVanDruff: no [16:43] jww: how do you copy the files (using nautilus or something i guess? as normal user?) and who are they owned by initially? [16:43] Gentoo64: okay how would i change group for a folder [16:43] MVanDruff: if you wana use vbox, youll have to reinstall the OS in a vbov hdd [16:44] fission6: chown user:group [16:44] ok [16:44] on a wubi install... is it possible to add an entry into grub for another OS? [16:44] MVanDruff: youll have to do it that way [16:44] from within windows that is [16:44] SolarisBoy: I do it with nautilus, own is called ferrero and rights are 755. on the sftp server I have a umask of 002, so file should be 775 when incoming. [16:44] MVanDruff: is the system you want to virtualize windows?

[18:02] urlin2u, well, nomodeset isn't really "low graphics boot"... it doesn't use KMS(or KMV) kernel drivers really [18:02] savid: you should probably mention you're installing it with pip, since zlib1g-dev is the correct package, so the problem is actually that pip isn't finding it it seems [18:03] zykotick9, the PPA doesn't work [18:03] doh, meant to type that in #pip [18:03] tables, that's too bad. Well, best of luck. [18:03] zykotick9, cool as I said I know very little in this amongst many other areas. :D [18:03] The following packages have unmet dependencies: [18:03] handbrake-gtk : Depends: libnotify1 (>= 0.5.0) but it is not installable [18:03] Depends: libnotify1-gtk2.10 [18:03] i cant install mlt, i tried added kdenlives ppa but i got this error that it doesnt find it [18:03] Hi there, I have a problem with flashplugin-installer [18:03] --2011-11-21 18:02:57-- http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/adobe-flashplugin_11.0.1.152.orig.tar.gz [18:03] this chat, is to help about ubuntu?

That seemed to work better. [18:10] Alacarte, Not installed [18:10] Nisk_, don't know then. Good luck. [18:10] some one can help me, My system is not starting after automatic updates [18:11] how do i create symbolic link between directory ln -s /data/logfiles logfiles ... here /data/logfiles is a directory [18:12] my system is not starting after automatic updates, some one can help me? [18:12] abhinav_singh, if you're in the directory you want to create the link in (and want the link to be called logfiles) just "ln -s /data/logfiles" should work [18:12] <_calum> I backed up an image file of Ubuntu in /dev/sda3. Ubuntu boots windows with its bootloader, windows is in /dev/sda2. I'm wiping a windows laptop with a zero fill. Should I restore Ubuntu first before installing the clean windows? [18:13] Hello. I am trying to install the latest nVidia CudaToolkit in 11.10 64 bits. It needs gcc 4.0 and by default i have 4.6, so this page http://www.vectorfabrics.com/blog/item/cuda_4.0_on_ubuntu_11.04 says I need to make a script so ONLY the CudaToolkit uses this version of gcc, I am no programer as you can tell. Does this script needs a .sh extension or leave it as is? [18:13] Hey all, I'm still trying to diagnose my video problems. My new laptop has an AMD firepro M8900 GPU and after I initially installed ubuntu 11.10, everything worked great with the open-source drivers. This morning, I did an apt-get update/upgrade and now it's extremely slow. I tried fglrx but it's really broken for this card apparently - fonts were garbled and I couldn't use my HDMI out. Help please! I'd be happy if someone could help me undo the up [18:14] hey, can anyone give me a hand installing 11.10? it freezes after the CUPS spooler init [18:14] Hey all, I'm still trying to diagnose my video problems. My new laptop has an AMD firepro M8900 GPU and after I initially installed ubuntu 11.10, everything worked great with the open-source drivers. [18:14] hey guys. does anyone here run a machine with a decent amount of http connections on a kernel version 3.0+? the kernel seems to send packets with sport and dport of 0.0.0.0 after a while. vanilla configuration, tried it on several machines and connections... [18:14] Osmodivs, convention says only binaries should be without extensions, but gnu/linux doesn't really care about extensions - so it should work, with or without the .sh [18:15] zykotick9, how do i put these videos to my ipod? [18:15] is there a itunes alternative? [18:15] savid: glad you found a workaround. If you find you need PIL later, get the python-imaging source and debian/patches/01_multiarch_support.patch should be the fix you need to build zlib support (I should have looked closer earlier) [18:15] tables, an android device [18:15] zykotick9: Ok, Thx. Now lets see if this thing works [18:15] tables, i have no idea. there is some gtk-ipod or something along those lines. I would never by an apple product myself. good luck. [18:16] hi,i get this problem http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/745268/,vlc cant play .flv videos [18:16] If i got a PC with 4 core and 4 GB RAM, what did u recomend me, an Ubuntu 11.10 32 or 64 bits? [18:16] Er... I couldn't see updates to the chat room with pidgin.. did anyone reply to my essay on AMD graphics problems? [18:16] blackeyed: 64-bit. [18:16] if any person can help men i will happy(yes,i have a little english) [18:16] sipior: but i found the same aplications that in 32bit? [18:16] blackeyed: yes. [18:17] its stable? [18:17] <_calum> if I restore my image of Ubuntu that was in /dev/sda3, will installing Windows after a zero fill of my laptop break the bootloader of ubuntu? [18:17] blackeyed: yes. it's 2011, use a 64-bit operating system. [18:17] tables, looks like the actual package i was thinking about is called gtkpod -- but no idea if it's current/works. [18:17] thank you [18:17] blackeyed: sure thing. [18:18] thank u [18:19] does anyone know of any process that uses fping as part of the default installed programs that run in the back ground or from time to time? [18:19] blackeyed, personally - with 4GB 64bit will be more hassle without a lot of reward (i do it mind you) [18:19] zykotick9: You seem like a programer, so, please, can you tell me if something wrong might happens if I messed things up? Like the site says: "I found that the most convenient way to achieve this is to create two little gxx scripts that are executed instead of the /usr/bin/gxx ones. The scripts choose the right version of gxx based on the existence of an environment variable. I put these scripts in my ~/bin directory and placed them in my path before [18:19] the /usr/bin entry." So, he means I need to put this script file in /bin instead of /usr/bin. So the system always reads /bin before /usr/bin, Correct? [18:19] im running 10.04 LTS [18:20] zykotick9: that's nonsense. unless you count missing 20% of your installed ram as not a lot of reward. [18:20] Osmodivs, your assumption is wrong. I couldn't program my way out of a paper bag ;) Your gcc 4.6 vs 4.0 is WAY over my head. Good luck. === marco is now known as Guest73975 [18:21] sipior, and with 64bit using more memory the 32bit - will it even out? I'm not sure. And anyone who asks "should i run 32 or 64" should be pointed to 32. [18:21] k [18:21] zykotick9: no. [18:21] dang [18:21] After doing a normal apt-get update/upgrade, the performance of X has dropped to being almost unusable with the open-source radeon drivers. What should I do next? [18:21] reason is, i logged in and did a ps -ax and noticed fping was running, and i know i didnt set it to nor did i set a cron job for it. any thoughts? [18:21] zykotick9: 32-bit is dead, time to move on. [18:21] anyone hold a 64bit capable cpu shuold run amd64 [18:21] zykotick9: everyone should be pointed to amd64 if the cpu supports amd64 [18:21] thanks === Guest73975 is now known as Crystyn [18:22] sipior, i run 64bit on ANYthing that supports 64bit - including my 1GB EEEPC, but for general use 32bit is still easier [18:22] zykotick9: easier? [18:22] iceroot, canoncial's download page seems to disagree with you [18:22] zykotick9: what is easier with 32bit? [18:22] for example; /usr/bin/fping -C 20 -q -B1 -r1 -i10 localhost [18:22] llutz, running 32bit apps [18:22] Can I for example take /bin/chmod and upload it to ftp for download? [18:22] zykotick9: not everything canocial is doing is good/correct [18:22] A modified version [18:22] <_calum> I'm unsure which to do first on a laptop which is going to be zero filled (for new windows install). Should I first restore my Ubuntu image which had a bootloader for windows, or install windows first in case it will break Ubuntu? [18:22] zykotick9: allow me to join in the chorus of "easier?" [18:22] llutz, i was hoping multiarch would solve that issue (perhaps sometime it will) [18:23] thats a pretty defined fping... i think i may have some prog running i didnt load or use... at least that i know of, thats why i ask here... [18:23] spooge [18:23] iceroot, "not everything canocial is doing is good/correct" understatement of the day ;) [18:24] hi. updated to 11.10 and now trying to boot in recovery mode. it stops at "[ 5.153623] generic-usb 0003:046D:C719.0004: input,hiddev0,hidraw3: USB HID v1.11 Mouse [Logitech BT Mini-Receiver] on usb-0000:00:1d.0-1.3/input0". whats happening? [18:24] how can i view gconf-editor on remote thru ssh? [18:24] zykotick9: yes there are some decissions i disagree what they have done but i still think that they are doing a very good job [18:24] is their a way to do that? [18:25] fellayaboy: ssh -X and then start the app [18:25] ok [18:25] fellayaboy: connect to that host with ssh -X user@host [18:25] fping is running again, anyone know of a program that uses /usr/bin/fping -C 20 -q -B1 -r1 -i10 localhost as part of some process part of its program [18:25] fellayaboy, FYI if you are using 11.10 it's dconf-editor i believe [18:26] im on public wifi [18:26] allowoverride: nagios? [18:26] im using 11.04 [18:26] allowoverride: pstree will show you the parent [18:26] _calum, you have an image of ubuntu, the windows install will overwrite the mbr, install first in premade ntfs, if you don't want the 200 mib windows extra partition. [18:26] also true ^ [18:26] hmmm... SolarisBoy let me see [18:26] iceroot: brb [18:26] cool [18:26] allowoverride: sure.. check pstree thats probably best also [18:26] its stopped running damn [18:26] missed it [18:26] allowoverride: also "grep -r fping /etc/cron*" is a good way [18:27] iceroot: thanks [18:27] if I have a shell and i want to tail 3 different log files, is there a command to split the shell 3 ways and tail 3 different logs? [18:27] any suggestions are appreciated [18:27] anyone use evolution? my father is wanting to use ubuntu, and insists on having a thick client for email. evolution is going haywire. lost all his email, and he found some old file to import. he imported it, and now his email is working sporadically... [18:27] tommyvyo_: screen [18:27] i dont like stuff running not by my own hand lol === brs_subay_35 is now known as turk_man [18:27] After doing a normal apt-get update/upgrade, the performance of X has dropped to being almost unusable with the open-source radeon drivers. What should I do next? [18:27] <_calum> urlin2u:So install windows 7 in a custom partition first, then restore my ubuntu image? [18:27] iceroot: nothing in cron thanks [18:27] iceroot: thank you [18:27] allowoverride: [18:27] allowoverride: then pstree is your friend [18:27] you can do something like watch "pstree" or something similar to find the process [18:28] I am running Lucid, and I want to upgrade to 11.10 Do I have to upgrade to maverick > natty > oneric, or can I just go right to oneric [18:28] thanks guys ssh -X worked great for me [18:28] _calum, that is waht I would do having windows as sda1 makes it easier to deal with from its disc if needed. [18:28] anybody? isnt that a weird behavior just stopping at some random point without any error message? [18:28] SolarisBoy: does nagios use fping? [18:28] or watch ps auxwwwwww |grep fping,, which should list the PPID (parent PID) [18:28] lol [18:28] Socky_: yes [18:28] allowoverride: yes [18:28] Socky_: you have to do every release [18:28] allowoverride: in your case since it is being spawned/forked by something you can try watch [18:28] iceroot: k [18:28] <_calum> urlin2:Windows 7 creates an extra partition for system files though, can I put this in /sda1? [18:28] Socky_: or wait until 12.04 which is like 10.04 an lts. which can be upgraded directly [18:28] try "watch 'ps auxwwww |grep fping'" [18:28] in remote desktop what does it mean use host as an ssh tunnel [18:29] SolarisBoy: no nagios on this box. in the past yes, but i did a full reinstall last week [18:29] _calum, you can put windows in one partition ith the pre built ntfs [18:29] SolarisBoy: ohhh watch [18:29] with* [18:29] allowoverride: try "watch 'ps auxwwww |grep fping'" [18:29] yeps [18:29] thanks! [18:29] SolarisBoy: that will not show the parent [18:29] this is a loop that executes by default each 2 seconds,, you will need to keep an eye on it [18:29] i like that one liner ;) [18:29] <_calum> urlin2u:By pre built ntfs you mean a partition I created and formatted as ntfs? [18:29] hey everyone [18:29] HI [18:30] iceroot: your right my bad [18:30] does anyone know how to disable the login Keyring? [18:30] SolarisBoy: e.g. when the parent is nagios, only pstree will show (and maybe some other bash-foo) [18:30] starbucks public wifi's are a little scary lol [18:30] allowoverride: do with ps -ef [18:30] allowoverride: you are not using nagios? [18:30] anyone could be doing MIM anytime without fear from like the parking lot [18:30] hmmm [18:30] This is going to sound like a weird question, but has anyone had issues viewing xkcd.com in chrome? It always hangs up on me. Happened on my old computer, too. [18:30] oh, -ef?? [18:30] not auxwww [18:30] -ef shows my ppids [18:30] yes [18:31] so watch ps efauxwww|grep fping [18:31] does anyone kn ow of a good site for Unity themes? [18:31] ps -ef |grep fping [18:31] i could just leave in the aux right? [18:31] watch ' try "watch 'ps auxwwww |grep fping'"' [18:31] just wondering [18:31] no [18:31] or is that to much [18:31] grrr [18:31] paste fail sorry [18:31] watch 'ps -ef |grep fping' [18:31] ill just run two terminal instances of watch [18:32] ok done. thanks for that h/up ;) [18:32] so no one knows how to disable the login keyring [18:32] ? [18:32] <_calum> I believe you can delete the login keyring from /gnome/keyrings or something [18:33] hey, i have just created a new user on my ubuntu server but the bash is not the same as the root user i.e. doesnt have name@host in the command line, can anyone give any advice on how to fix this? [18:34] _calum: I'm using Unity [18:34] james538227, next time use "adduser foo" instead. Copy the files from /etc/skel to the users home dir. [18:34] james538227: configure PS1 in your .bashrc/.profile [18:34] james538227, copy and chown the /etc/skel folder contents [18:34] <_calum> ahh, don't know for Unity, sorry :( [18:34] allowoverride: you may want to also |grep -v grep as it will show you yourself looking for this string also [18:34] james538227: check your shell, echo $SHELL [18:34] I'm used to using Win XP [18:34] TK5791, look for keyrings i guess? [18:34] Guys, I can't be the only one here using the open-source radeon drivers.. has no one else noticed extreme performance issues after this morning's update? [18:34] so what if I wanted my programs folder... where could I locate it? [18:34] llutz, my shell is /bin/sh [18:34] TK5791, my recommendation is disable autologin then it won't be an issue [18:35] TK5791, that's not a simple answer. /bin is where most of your "programs" are. or /usr/bin rather. [18:35] james538227: set your shell, use usermod [18:35] james538227, sh vs bash - big difference [18:35] iceroot: i just monitored my box for some time "root 29291 29067 0 18:34 ? 00:00:00 /apps/IPsoft/IPmon/bin/fping -C 5 -i 5 -t 500 -p 300 [18:35] " thats from "nagios" [18:35] zykotick9: thanks, but that kind of defeats the object of an autologin [18:35] one of my monitoring boxes rather.. [18:36] TK5791, if you put in no password for the keyring initially, it'll never ask again -_- [18:36] arrrghhh: thanks [18:36] SolarisBoy: hm strange, dont know what "ipsoft" has to do with nagios [18:36] TK5791, so instead type your password for the keyring then... [18:36] <_calum> the command dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda will clear all data on my hd right? [18:36] iceroot: thats is nagios [18:36] renamed [18:36] simply [18:36] !danger [18:36] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND! That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [18:36] _calum: yes [18:36] the check spawns fping,, but it is logged with a ppid [18:36] _calum: add a "bs=4k" [18:36] lol [18:36] <_calum> lol its not dangerous only if you do it wrong without backups [18:37] iceroot: its nagios on speed per say... [18:37] SolarisBoy: ok [18:37] arrrghhh: too late for that [18:37] _calum: be sure that there are no partitions mounted on the drive too, you can be sure if you use liveCD [18:37] TK5791, i assume you can clear it out, i don't know how that works in detail tho. [18:37] <_calum> llutz:What will that do? [18:37] SolarisBoy: good point [18:37] _calum: "speeds it up a bit" [18:38] I had someone put this OS on my system and clearly they've set up this login keyring, [18:38] <_calum> ahh ok, but it will still zero all data? [18:38] _calum: bigger blogsize than 512byte default will make it a bit faster. [18:38] <_calum> its for my windows install see [18:38] can anyone recommend a better Linux OS, :( [18:38] TK5791, perhaps you should reinstall yourself? might learn something too. [18:38] Ubuntu is driving me nuts [18:38] TK5791, i like ubuntu with gnome-session-fallback [18:38] _calum: yah, will do same job [18:38] you're in #ubuntu -_- [18:38] allowoverride: thanks let me know if you get to the bottom of it whos spawning that command.. its weird its going against localhost like so... [18:38] TK5791, it's on by default - but if you login, it gets unlocked - if you have autologin it doesn't [18:38] <_calum> ok thanks guys [18:38] the menu bar on the left hand side sucks big time [18:38] :(){:|:;}: [18:39] !notunity | TK5791 [18:39] TK5791: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [18:39] !danger [18:39] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND! That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [18:39] I have no idea what Ubotto just said [18:39] SolarisBoy: will do [18:39] zykotick9, what about gnome-session-fallback? that's what i put on both my rents computers. [18:40] zackly, very weird [18:40] <_calum> hey why did that user get booted? [18:40] TK5791, he was whispering sweet nothings in your ear [18:40] _calum: forkbomb [18:40] <_calum> ohhh, don't know what that is [18:40] ah a different one [18:40] arrrghhh: oh how exciting [18:40] _calum, that command does bad things [18:40] <_calum> ah [18:40] TK5791, i can tell you're riveted [18:40] :( [18:41] arrrghhh: more like frustrated [18:41] TK5791, if you don't like linux, no one is forcing you to use it [18:41] i'm a big proponent of use what works best for you. [18:41] I love the idea of open source, but this OS is killing me [18:41] Can someone triage this and get it assigned to a distro series? mterry has already verified it but I need someone with more authority to move it to the next level: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/891707 [18:41] _calum: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork_bomb [18:41] Launchpad bug 891707 in firefox (Ubuntu) "java webstart creates infinite open windows, desktop DoS" [Undecided,Confirmed] [18:41] i would NEVER force anything upon a user. unless it's a work, that's different :D [18:41] SolarisBoy: yah there are like 15 people here with laptops, a few look a little shady lol [18:41] TK5791, Ubuntu is only one distro - there are many others [18:42] TK5791 i do'nt like unity, so i switched to a different fork [18:42] distro? [18:42] for someone to ping localhost it implies they are on your box [18:42] llutz, cheers dude, worked a treat :) [18:42] sorry I'm a complete noob [18:42] TK5791, distribution. ubuntu is a distribution of linux. [18:42] else,, it does imply some shady business... im more convinced you just have a weird application/script running or something [18:42] SolarisBoy: who and w show two of my user logged in, before opening seperate terms to monitor with watch... [18:42] ok, so what does one suggest? [18:42] TK5791, that's fine. searching&reading is your best friend. [18:42] ^^ [18:42] stick with this or try something more user friendly? [18:42] allowoverride: what tty are they on? [18:42] 1 tty and 3 pts/0/1/2 [18:42] TK5791, ubuntu is pretty user-friendly. [18:42] allowoverride: and what tty are you on? [18:42] as far as linux distro's go. [18:43] <_calum> ohhh its a denial of servive attack [18:43] <_calum> c*] [18:43] believe me I have been searching... and reading... my brain aches [18:43] allowoverride: if you have more than one console/tty open this can appear to be the case sometimes [18:43] SolarisBoy: i believe im only on tty7 with gui [18:43] _calum: its just an endless-loop as recursion [18:43] TK5791 i switched to the most-hated ubuntu fork [18:43] TK5791, turning off autologin will solve your keyring issue - problem solved. [18:43] SolarisBoy: i already checked with single user mode cnt-alt F1/F9, no one there === jesus is now known as Guest4905 [18:44] my intel sound is detected by lspci but it is not detected by gnome volume control. it had worked normally in the past.

[18:45] allowoverride: service --status-all [18:45] ah. thanks [18:45] prepend sudo also =) [18:45] but I guess until this version of Ubuntu is updated frustration is the name of the game [18:45] i think upstart / initctl has a way also.. but that should suffice for now [18:45] so a "+" means its running, [18:46] yes believe so [18:46] anyone know how to reset my profile in Google Chrome... its not loading correctly? [18:46] grep "+" highlights it [18:46] <_calum> the safest bet then is to Zero fill from an Ubuntu live loaded into RAM [18:46] awww, there it is,,, it may be smokeping [18:46] lol [18:46] allowoverride: heck yea dude [18:46] thats exactly what it is [18:46] SolarisBoy: i didnt know that was running, i believe i ran that a few weeks ago [18:47] sometimes services have a wacky way of checking them selves into startup when they know they should be [18:47] *shouldn't* [18:47] SolarisBoy: i believe i was testing that on my local net a month ago or less [18:47] sheshh [18:47] makes sense [18:48] Google Chrome, anyone know how to reset a profile that is corrupted? [18:48] yap;) thanks for those cmds, those will help later the grep -v grep especially [18:48] anytime sir [18:48] SolarisBoy: When you call smokeping without [18:48] arguments it will start as a daemon and do its work. [18:48] interesting,, i recall using it once or twice in the past probably not for anything serious [18:49] ok how to kill that so it doesnt start up at boot, BUT remains as a service so i dont have to reload it again,, updaterc? something [18:49] <_calum> thanks guys [18:49] im still new to deb/ubuntu services, i come from redhat [18:50] allowoverride: i as well =) [18:50] allowoverride: im actually still having bad muscle memory from other distros or even OS... like typing cfgadm -al on ubuntu boxes [18:50] i believe its update-rc.d something force yadda enable/disable [18:50] neva good =) [18:50] allowoverride: correct [18:50] allowoverride› may i ask why you're moving from RH to deb/ubuntu?

[18:54] This is the quietest it's ever been in here I think. [18:55] i believe this is howto; first sudo update-rc.d -f smokeping remove, than if you want it back sudo update-rc.d smokeping defaults [18:55] yep thats it [18:55] specifically say I wanted to freshest installation of live could I load up the live version, apt-get upgrade, then put all that back into the live USB so I dont have to do it over and over again [18:55] nifty;) [18:55] welp that solves that miserymystery [18:55] and how, if it's possible [18:56] allowoverride: some package updates will restore the rcX.d links, you have to track that. read "man update-rc.d" [18:56] llutz: really?

[19:01] m1ck3y: sounds like your grub has been missconfigured; I apologize but I know very little about it however would start there :s [19:01] someone told me a while back ifconfig was deprecated, and to use ip, is this true for ubuntu? or linux in general? [19:02] allowoverride: this is true all over [19:02] tyler_d: i use gui to setup ip's and such with NetworkManager, so I am outta the loop for cmdline other than bringing interfaces ifup/ifdown... [19:03] allowoverride: if you are at starbucks your through a forced portal, which means your assumption is correct, its all nat traffic to the real world [19:03] allowoverride: what are you trying to accomplish?

Any idea how I can set it up as a network printer [19:24] NB I'm a newb [19:24] i used to just downloaded the latest tar.bz2 and compile [19:24] JHHH: I would suggest starting with the configuration via the fine manual that came with teh printer [19:24] Can anyone help with Google Chrome? [19:24] JHHH: its problematic as its out of scope for this channel.. a pain I am sure :( [19:25] any ideas of otherr channels?

[19:45] Hello all! [19:46] How would i replace an existing package? [19:46] ntr0py: be more specfiic [19:47] so i'm having issues with a c program i've written that takes streaming data over serial. the pastebin is here: http://pastebin.com/RxCMmG9h when i uncomment the printf() debug lines i can see that execution stops on the first read call (ie, "connected, starting loop" and "flushing buffer" appear. i've tried commenting out the tcflush to eliminate is as an issue and the read never occurs) [19:48] jrib: i want to replace a package (nginx-full) with another package i locally compiles (nginx-extras): problem is that other packages already installed depend on nginx [19:48] exit [19:48] the serial port should be connected on /dev/ttymxc0 [19:48] ntr0py: why did you not name it the same/ [19:49] executing 'setserial /dev/ttymxc0' shows '/dev/ttymxc0, UART: undefined, Port: 0x0000, IRQ: 31 [19:49] anyone know how to fix problems with Google Chrome? [19:49] any serial experts around? :/ [19:49] I got a problem with wireless internet at school, when I connect to the router it's connecting, and then it says 'disconnected, you are now offline'. I'm running ubuntu 11.04 with the gnome 2.0 interface. The only way to get internet is to reboot into windows, make the connection there, reboot into ubuntu, connect to the network. But when I put my laptop in stand-by I have to do this stuff... [19:49] ...again to make it work. Isn't there any easy way to make it work/ [19:50] jrib: it has not the same name and i cannot install it in parallel nor can i remove the existing package because it has dependencies: there must be a way to replace an existing package with another one... [19:50] ntr0py: I am asking you why did you not name it the same/ [19:50] I'm trying to set up a ubuntu repository for 11.04 for 64 bit. I"m not sure which sources to use. Everything I see online is different. Do I need to include the deb-src indexes as well? What are they even for? If I include them, the repository is 80 gb, which seems huge. And should I put deb in front of the indexes in the config file, or deb-amd64? [19:50] TK5791: which kind of problem do you have? [19:51] jacob@ubuntujacob:~$ bzr branch lp:~mdipierro/web2py/devel web2py Woul that command run forever, or only untill something has downloaded? [19:51] I completely fucked up my machine. It says sudo must be setuid root after I did a chown root:admin . [19:51] how do I unbreak it? [19:51] jrib: i could name it the same, but that would be ugly because its correct name is another. [19:52] anra: thank you. when loading the browser I get the following error message "Your profile could not be opened correctly" [19:52] CloudQc: language, please [19:52] ntr0py: I don't understand. Is this not just a different version of the same package? [19:52] anyone familiar with xinerama and nvidia setups? [19:52] !language | CloudQc [19:52] CloudQc: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [19:52] TK5791: hmm, did you have something important there that you don't want to lose? [19:53] ISBB, nvidia's version os xinerama is called twinview - you can typically setup dual monitors in nvidia-settings. What are you having issues with? [19:53] I'm running a dual-core system with Ubuntu's 3.0.0-12-generic kernel, and only one of my 2 cores is showing up in /proc/cpuinfo (and htop). Expected? [19:53] jrib: no its nginx-extras with a newer version (it has more modules compiled in) vs the installed nginx-full (older version with fewer modules), it has different names but provides the same functionality according to dependencies [19:54] anra: not really... when I first launched the browser I sync Google and it worked well but for some reason it gone a little hayware [19:54] ntr0py: seems strange, but I don't have time to fully understand. You can accomplish what you asked using the Provides keyword (see debian-policy manual) [19:54] CloudQc: What directory did you run the chown in? /usr/bin or something? [19:54] Is it possible to disable any dependencies functionality from dpkg? [19:54] ntr0py: you would never want to do that [19:55] zykotick9, xinerama is running spans 3 monitors great.. however im having issues with setting a default monitor. I.E. screen0 is default, screen 1 is left of 0 and screen 2 is right of 0 sounds all great and dandy. However xinerama wants to make screen 1 default menu bar's panels so on and so forth. funny thing when i log in its setup perfect. Login screen is screen 0 and cursor left and right works great. i cant seem to get xinerama to [19:55] play nice by setting screen 0 to default [19:55] oh umm / (yeah it chmod usr/bin too - the whole system) [19:55] running xubuntu 11.10 btw [19:55] TK5791: okay, if you don't mind losing your stuff (at least temporarily) I guess the easiest solution would be to move your config folder [19:55] jrib: i need it right not because dpkg it not intelligent enough to understand [19:55] *now [19:55] I am trying to setup ssh and when I goto /root/.ssh/config it doesn't find anything. How come? [19:55] anra: ok, how so? [19:56] ntr0py: huh? I just told you how to make one package "provide" another one [19:56] if I move it will it create a new one? [19:56] ShawnRisk: what are you trying to achieve? [19:56] yes [19:56] ISBB, i've only ever used the nivida-settings tool to set the default monitor, not sure how it's dealt with on actual xinerama installations. Good luck. [19:56] ShawnRisk: personal config file doesn''t exist by default [19:56] just open the file manager [19:56] press Ctrl + H [19:56] to display hidden files [19:56] go to .config then [19:56] xinerama is part of nvidia.. you can only set default monitor under twinview [19:56] ActionParsnip: http://notbrainsurgery.livejournal.com/39281.html [19:56] PITA i say [19:56] a you'll see a folder called 'chromium' or 'chrome' [19:56] anyone? [19:57] then rename it to be safe [19:57] alex-: I'm a one [19:57] file manager? [19:57] and open the browser [19:57] nautilus [19:57] ShawnRisk: did you generate the key? [19:57] CloudQc: There's no real coming back from that. [19:57] when I do a dist-upgrade it will upgrade grub and as I'm PXE booting I don't like to have them [19:57] llutz: when I tried to create this in nano it wouldn't let me as this didn't exist [19:58] I got a problem with wireless internet at school, when I connect to the router it's connecting, and then it says 'disconnected, you are now offline'. I'm running ubuntu 11.04 with the gnome 2.0 interface. The only way to get internet is to reboot into windows, make the connection there, reboot into ubuntu, connect to the network. But when I put my laptop in stand-by I have to do this stuff... [19:58] ActionParsnip: yes on step 2 [19:58] tried purge grub-common but still it will upgrade [19:58] ...again to make it work. Isn't there any easy way to make it work? [19:58] jrib: can i somehow just deinstall nginx-full ignoring all dependencies? [19:58] ActionParsnip: but didn't create ./ssh folder [19:58] ShawnRisk: ok then put it in your user's ~/.ssh directory [19:58] ntr0py: you would never want to do that... [19:59] ShawnRisk: you shouldn't ssh as root at all, use users ssh-config [19:59] jrib: i need exactly that right now [19:59] anra: I'm completely clueless.... and very frustrated... I thought open source was supposed to be user friendly, but in reality its terrible [19:59] ActionParsnip: how so? [20:00] ntr0py: no you don't. You need to fix how you created your package. If you want to ignore my advice, use equivs (you should just fix your package) or one of the force flags to dpkg (this will leave your system in a broken state) [20:00] ShawnRisk: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=238672 [20:00] TK5791, lol Open Source is not really user friendly there is a high learning curve in most cases [20:00] you need to be some sort of computer nut to understand any of this [20:00] TK5791, sort of [20:00] TK5791: don't worry [20:00] I'll help you [20:00] ShawnRisk: that is a much better way to backup remote-servers using rsync [20:00] TK5791: its the same in Windows [20:00] No one ? [20:00] TK5791, Computers and programming is really not easy stuff anyway [20:00] how do I ignore a update ? [20:00] TK5791: just because you are doing mildly administritive stuff doesn't make it hard [20:00] just to be sure, which version of Ubuntu are you running? === joka is now known as sixps [20:01] TK5791, Microsoft just gave us the illusion of user friendly computers and software [20:01] tell me about it [20:01] <-- 11.10 [20:01] hey all , i have a web directory that i need my regular user to write images to, but the www-data user to be able to read them and serve them on the internet. How do i go about doing that? [20:01] TK5791: if youo rename the config folders for chrome or firefox in Windows in you windows profile folder, it does the same thing [20:01] I just the file system very confusing.... I haven't played with Command Prompt (terminal) for years [20:02] TK5791, User friendliness is all an ILLUSION [20:02] ShawnRisk: make the folder. mkdir ~/.ssh [20:02] Like you can PUSH a MAGIC BUTTON and get INSTANT PUDDING [20:02] TK5791: you don't need to do it through the terminal [20:02] not to knock this stuff.... but at least I can find the folder where all the software is stored [20:02] Quantum_Ion: and now I want pudding, thanks a lot... [20:02] reisio, lol [20:03] TK5791: ~/.mozilla holds all the config folders for all mozilla products, you will have a firefox folder and a thunderbird folder. Doesn't get more logical than that [20:03] My system seems to slow down after it's been on for a week or so. Gnome-system-monitor doesn't really show any likely culprits. Any other ideas? [20:03] ActionParsnip: in where /home/share or /root? [20:03] ~ is home [20:03] ActionParsnip: thanks but I'm referring to Chrome... I don't use Firefox [20:03] ShawnRisk: your user, not root [20:03] TK5791, I remember the DOS days on my IBM PCjr [20:03] llutz: I see that thread but which folder am I in when I do ssh-keygen? [20:03] TK5791: ~/.config/chromium [20:04] don't use Chromium... I use Chrome [20:04] TK5791: so you can run: mv ~/.config/chromium ~/.config/chromium_old [20:04] ShawnRisk: your $HOME, theres no need to use /root at all [20:04] okay [20:04] TK5791: same folder afaik [20:04] ActionParsnip, i'm guessing the OP is using google-chrome, not chromium (i could be wrong) [20:05] TK5791, The great thing about Linux is basically all your development tools are FREE but you just have to figure out how to use them [20:05] ShawnRisk: better to use forced-commands only, http://troy.jdmz.net/rsync/index.html [20:05] TK5791: or you may find ~/.config/google-chrome/ [20:06] okay [20:06] does ubuntu have any VMs so I can test what happens when... without having to reformat? [20:06] CloudQc: you can go ahead and install some vm's using vbox [20:06] CloudQc: You have to create your own vm. [20:07] CloudQc: or qemu or vmware, virtualbox is quite simple [20:07] I have `postinstall` file for an DotCloud project. I have run `chmod +x postinstall`, but DotCloud still gives me: "Warning. postinstall file exists, but it is not executable." What am I doing wrong? [20:08] jrib: "sudo dpkg -P --force-all nginx-full" did the trick, thanks anyways [20:08] Also - I have a 64 bit machine so I installed 64bit ubuntu the first time. However, the interface is slow to react, is that normal or should I just reinstall it in 32bit since im reformatting right now [20:08] bzr branch lp:~mdipierro/web2py/devel web2py I ran that command in terminal, and it's taking foreeever to download. is this usual, or is it my net, or is it just never going to finish? [20:08] I have an issue with grub2 on my headless server. Sometimes a reboot requires interaction/keyboard. What can the cause be? [20:09] CloudQc, your graphics card probably makes more of a difference then the CPU bits [20:09] CloudQc, I would use an LTS release 64bit for stability [20:09] ActionParsnip [20:09] CloudQc, For example 10.04 Ubuntu Linux LTS 64bit but thats just me [20:09] ActionParsnip: thanks [20:10] CloudQc, LTS equals Long Term Stable [20:10] trshhs: what sort of interaction [20:10] Quantum_Ion, close - Long Term Support ;) [20:11] Pessimism: What does the first line of the file contain? eg: Is it a shebang pointing to what program to use to run it, or is it something else [20:11] genii-around: `#!/bin/sh` [20:11] Is there a huge difference between 32b and 64b anyways? vid card is nvidia 8800 gt [20:11] TK5791: if you are having problems with chrome profile still go to /home/user/.config and delete the chromium folder and then open browser and will recreate profile [20:12] CloudQc, same vid card as mine - have you install nvidia-current from the ubuntu driver thing? [20:12] zykotick9, right supposedly those LTS releases are supposed to be the most stable [20:12] reisio: I need to press enter, timeout is not working. First i thought it is related to kernelupdates but it appears more unpredictable [20:13] CloudQc: not "huge", no, but large [20:13] trshhs: GRUB's timeout? [20:13] CloudQc, if you have 4+ GB RAM use 64bit, if you have less - it's up to you [20:13] I suppose since I havent gone to nvidia to download some [20:13] CloudQc: do not do that [20:13] CloudQc: you shouldn't have to have "gone to nvidia" with Linux [20:13] CloudQc, don't download from nvidia - use the ubuntu method [20:13] CloudQc: quick way to borq your system [20:14] CloudQc: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [20:14] I said... I havent - I did not go I used the Ubuntu thing [20:14] tes [20:14] srry wrng channel [20:14] love how we all speak up as soon as he said that [20:15] tyler_d: I'm not sure how it could bork up their system more than the chown command they already ran on their / [20:15] he heh e [20:15] reisio: yes, usually it works and i can reboot the server remotely, sometimes grub2 just stops. Might just want to replace it with lilo... [20:16] Got a question for you all concerning Ubuntu Server with KVM - is KVM stable enough for production environment [20:17] with windows server guests [20:17] nameNick, might want to re-ask that in #kvm [20:17] nameNick: kvm?.... as in a kvm switch? [20:17] nameNick, or are you using libvirt? different channel if you do. [20:17] tyler_d: No. [20:17] libvirt [20:17] k, I'm thinking what? [20:17] im out, bbiab l8 [20:18] nameNick, libvirt/virt-manager support is #virt on irc.oftc.net [20:18] thanks [20:19] hi all, new to ubuntu and am having trouble getting name based hosts up .. how can I get my environment to pick up /etc/apache2/envvars so that I can run apache -S ? [20:20] nm, apparently I just export them in my shell [20:20] jjg: you should use « apache2ctl -S » [20:20] jrib: thanks [20:20] genii-around: Did you have any suggestions for what might have caused the problem? [20:21] I'm outta here. maybe bbiab [20:21] :) [20:21] \q [20:22] so the main diff between LTS and non-LTS is that a non-LTS can be dropped from support anytime? [20:22] CloudQc: no... [20:22] !lts | CloudQc [20:22] CloudQc: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [20:22] Pessimism: Not offhand. I'm not familiar with the dotcloud [20:22] CloudQc: non-lts is supported 18 months [20:23] so after 18months you have to reformat? Or are there just upgrades to a new 18 month supported version? [20:23] CloudQc: you can upgrade [20:23] !upgrade | CloudQc [20:23] CloudQc: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [20:23] CloudQc: every 6 months there is a new release you can upgrade to. Alternatively, you can stay on LTS only and upgrade every 2 years [20:24] this is probably an apache channel question .. BUT I can hit my vhosted page locally using lynx .. but can't get it to load externally. I can see that there are no iptables present .. any recommendations on where I should look ? are there perhaps some ubuntuisms that I need to be aware of? [20:24] OK thnx for info, ill go with the non-lts ;) [20:24] Quick question: I have 2 separate HDDs: sda1 and sdb1. sda1 contains /, ~/ and all the other ubuntu partitions including swap and the rest. sdb1 is mounted in sda1 at /media/UUID_of course. no When I cd / and I du -sh, I get 60G however my sda1 is only 10G, is this normal that it will include the size of sdb1 also? [20:24] jjg: sounds more like a router issue [20:24] do the antivirus scanners in the repositories scan for windows viruses? i have a friend's laptop i need to try to clean [20:25] panfist: sure, clam does for example [20:25] panfist, yes [20:25] thaniks [20:25] panfist, thats all theyre for [20:25] thanks [20:25] jrib: myeah, does [20:26] latest ati driver (11.11 from amd website) broke suspend/resume on my machine: I get a black screen, but the desktop environment works [20:27] Hey Ubuntu Support.

But it's based on ubuntu. [20:29] there're 5 people in #jolicloud, though [20:30] !? [20:30] Thanks! [20:30] really only takes one useful person to get some help [20:30] out of 5 you have an okay chance [20:30] Joliclouder, perhaps choosing a distro based on support is a factor you should consider [20:31] zykotick9: or he could just not mention in future that he's using jolicloud :p [20:31] (including using a different nick) [20:31] from another distro, how would I get grub2 to recognize my wubi installed Ubuntu? [20:31] sniz-, i HIGHLY doubt you can... [20:31] sniz-: I think you'd just tell it where your Windows is (it should know already) [20:31] and Windows will give you a prompt [20:31] as it has already [20:32] sniz-: but why have two distros [20:32] better question, why use Wubi ;) [20:32] trying them out === stepnjump is now known as StepNjump [20:33] Smiz-: Run the menu configurator for grub2. It would usually find ubuntu [20:33] trshhs, it's not going to see a wubi install though [20:33] shouldn't need to [20:33] Can I setup sftp with proftpd or do I need openssh? [20:34] wubi cuz i feared screwing up my windows install, i couldn't bear to have to redownload anything [20:34] since Windows' loader sees it, and GRUB sees Windows' loader [20:34] reisio, i agree with your logic there - it's just doing going to see Wubi directly. [20:34] ShawnRisk, proftpd is ftp, not sftp [20:35] okay [20:35] actually... thinking about it like that... I'm assuming that grub on the ubuntu side would see this distro, and detect it... [20:35] zykotick9: would be tricky, yeah :p [20:35] ShawnRisk: openssh-server will give an sftp server as well as remote console as well as X forwarding ability :) [20:35] cool [20:35] then just keep the windows bootloader, then grub only being there for linux side [20:35] sniz-: I wouldn't say GRUB can't have an entry just for your wubi install, just that you don't particularly need one [20:36] zykotick9: dont know much about wubi, so i dony doubt you.

[21:17] Koolvin: Radeon HD 66310 [21:17] 6310* [21:17] machiolate, and how did you proceed in installing gnome2 ? [21:17] machiolate: I'm very much into graphic. Part of the look and feel. Unity looks a whole lot different from other x apps. What about unity was that bad? [21:18] Unity is terrible, they hide so much that they don't need to [21:18] gelbihan, it was just a sudo apt-get install, pretty simple. theres a ! command for the bots that tells you how to do it [21:18] i can't remember exactly what i typed [21:18] machiolate, no it was not, gnome2 is not available in the repos for 11.10 [21:19] Koolvin: It's a Radeon HD 6310, part of the AMD E-350 Brazos chipset [21:19] Rei`, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/xorg [21:19] glebihan how do i check what I'm running? [21:19] machiolate, you probably installed gnome-session-fallback and gnome-panel, but that's not gnome2 [21:19] ahh, o.k. so it's just component parts you mean [21:19] machiolate, not even that, it's not gnome2 at all [21:20] the desktop is, yeah [21:20] machiolate, gnome-panel in gnome3 is different from what it was in gnome2 [21:20] Why Gnome 3 is terrible http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/mklha/my_thoughts_on_gnome_3/ [21:20] thinking about it, brontosaurusnix would be a nice name for gnome2 distro :P [21:20] ahh, its gnome 3 [21:20] whtever [21:20] Metroshica: we don't care here, this is support, not discussion about taste [21:20] it was whatever installed with ubuntu 10.10 [21:21] dcom23: Apparently xserver-xorg isn't installed :/ [21:21] that's what I was used to [21:21] So this can't be an X issue [21:21] szal: I agree, someone just asked what was wrong with it, thought I would share [21:21] glebihan, someone told me it was gnome 2, so you're saying it's gnome 3? [21:21] Is there an apt-package that I can use to install the entire ubuntu-desktop installation? Forgot to mention I installed from netboot media [21:22] machiolate, yes it is gnome3 (its fallback session) [21:22] is there a way to check that you know of glebihan? thanks for clearing that up [21:22] i.e. what desktop shell i'm running [21:22] machiolate, well "sudo apt-cache policy gnome-session" should give you your gnome version [21:23] machiolate, no need for sudo btw [21:24] 3.2.1-0ubuntu1... just the kernel i think, np tough, thanks [21:24] fun [21:24] though* [21:24] Anyone answer? I've installed Ubuntu from netboot and don't have X installed, assume I'm missing other stuff, I'm at a command prompt, is there something I can install to get the ubuntu-desktop as if I'd installed from the typical CD?

[21:28] machiolate, well as I was trying to suggest, it's a *fallback* session, so it's kinda limited [21:28] kierkkadon, no just ./file.sh will do it (if exe bit is set) [21:28] dcom23: I started this download before you linked that to me, I don't have X installed and according to this I'm missing another 1.6GB of the Ubuntu desktop [21:28] ahh glebihan, got it [21:29] thanks man, you've improved my understanding immensly [21:29] machiolate, you're welcome :) [21:29] fun [21:31] Hi guys.

[21:35] alex-: 10.10 [21:35] what is meerkat [21:35] oh [21:35] so i have 11.04 [21:35] !10.10 [21:35] Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) was the thirteenth release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.10/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1010 [21:35] i have meerkat or higher [21:36] alex-: 11.04 is natty [21:36] hi [21:36] but i'm not using unity [21:36] http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/07/fullscreen-rhythmbox-plug-in-your-parties-just-got-slicker/ [21:36] In newer versions of Rhythmbox (wink, wink Meerkat-ers) you'll need to put the plug-in in: - [21:36] brontosaurusrex, that doesn't work; If i do ./file I get a 'no input file specified' [21:37] brontosaurusrex, if I do ./file.sh I get 'command not found' [21:37] русские есть?? [21:37] kierkkadon, what is the filename of your script? [21:37] brontosaurusrex, 'install-sh' [21:38] !ru | demon4ik [21:38] demon4ik: Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. [21:38] I've tried various versions of that name in the terminal [21:38] kierkkadon, ok, the cd to the folder that thing is in and try ./install-sh [21:38] I'm getting connection refused after reboot [21:38] With openssh [21:38] Is there any way to remotely fix this? [21:38] brontosaurusrex, 'no input file specified' [21:39] Koolvin: Reboot on the client or on the server? [21:39] Server [21:39] brontosaurusrex, sh [21:39] Koolvin: Is the service running? [21:39] IDK [21:39] Koolvin: Try ps -A, look for sshd or opensshd (not sure which) [21:39] kierkkadon, and? i dont know what your script is supposed to do [21:39] Koolvin: Or you dont have physical/kvm access to the server? [21:40] brontosaurusrex, Oh, that means it ran the script and the script itself was supposed to do something with an input file? oooooooohhhh, okay [21:40] Alright, thanks [21:40] I don't currently have physical access no [21:40] hi [21:40] brontosaurusrex, make it executable chmod +x filename [21:41] would some of you guys check this for me on your linux box? thank you. grep -Eio 'now at.*|\.resolution:.*|event_handler:.*' /proc/timer_list | sort -u | tr "\n" "," [21:41] Koolvin: If you do: telnet ip-address-here 22 do you see a line reading about what ssh server you reached? [21:41] Koolvin: Most likely scenario is sshd is configured incorrectly, and isn't running at startup, unless you have physical/kvm I can't think of any way to fix it [21:41] dcom23, i dont need help [21:41] k [21:43] my screensaver can dim my display, but the 'brightness applet' cant.. how do i manually dim my display? === sysadamin is now known as sysadamin|away [21:44] when I do something like, sudo mkdir test_dir, it'll ask me for my password, fair enough. Is there a way that I can do it all in one line? like sudo mkdir test_dir | my_sudo_password ? [21:44] I have a problem with Google sync both in Chrome and Chromium [21:45] i2c: not so, but if you really need it you can open a root shell with sudo -i [21:45] when the browsers start to sync it get so far and then spoils [21:45] but to run that command makes me have to input my password [21:45] err help [21:46] "Error: Checksum file missing" === root is now known as Guest93076 [21:46] Genii-around failed connection [21:46] !info firefox [21:46] firefox (source: firefox): Safe and easy web browser from Mozilla. In component main, is optional. Version 7.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu2 (oneiric), package size 16391 kB, installed size 35508 kB [21:46] Koolvin: So sshd not running [21:46] then when I log out and back in it refers me to the same error message your profile could not be opened properly [21:47] Koolvin: Can you even ping the server? [21:47] whats the hell is wrong with both browsers, dare I say that I've never had this problem with the windows Vista [21:47] No genii-around =O [21:48] TK5791, smells a bit like a permission problem [21:48] However, I can access it on port 80 [21:48] Koolvin: So it's probably sitting there on the other end someplace with an error message [21:48] brontosaurusrex: really, how so? [21:48] Hm [21:48] I have my login set for admin level === king is now known as K|nG [21:48] Genii-around, could it be port issues? [21:49] TK5791, could be that the browse can maybe only read the prefs, but not save them, or some other version of it [21:49] *browser [21:49] ok [21:49] solution? [21:49] or suggestions? [21:49] what are the reasons for seeing a black screen when u remote desktop with vnc? [21:50] fellayaboy, compiz being enabled is one possibility [21:50] TK5791, make a new system user, and see what happens with same browser(s) [21:50] Koolvin: Without being able to get on the box, hard to know exactly. [21:50] ok [21:50] TK5791, user "test" [21:50] now that sounds like a plan [21:50] zykotick9, thast true on the client? or remote? or both? [21:50] I'll give it a go [21:50] tried wiggling the mouse? [21:50] fellayaboy, on the box hosting the VNC connection (remote) [21:51] i see [21:51] how can i disable via terminal [21:51] im sshed into remote now [21:51] Koolvin: Do you have ebox or something similar installed which is reachable by the web interface? [21:51] otherwise I giving linux the boot, too frustrating, too many fing bugs, and not enough time in the day to sort [21:51] fellayaboy, is it unity running on the remote box? [21:51] no its a 10.10 on host (remote) and 11.04 client [21:52] TK5791, the usual wisdom is: stick with repos, iam pretty sure there is no chrome in official ubuntu repos... [21:52] fellayaboy, but you only have ssh access? humm, not sure then - you'd typically use "metacity --replace" from the running GUI [21:53] repos? [21:53] !repos [21:53] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [21:53] brontosaurusrex, that's really good ..i also would think he will head for chrome.. :)) [21:55] TK5791, "software center", there is chromium [21:56] Does anybody know whether development for Easy Peasy has been discontinued? [21:57] hey guys. I'm wondering if any of you can point me at some documentation how to power off specific PCI devices [21:57] hello [21:57] flashingpumpkin, kill it [21:57] TK5791: it seems that it may be a bug in Chrome [21:57] may i have atention please [21:57] seccunda, no [21:57] why [21:58] rude boy [21:58] dcom23, erm? [21:58] seccunda, ask a question that is how it works, if there is a answer consider yourself lucky. [21:58] no there isnt [21:58] TK5791: the suggested workaround is to either don't sync the passwords or run chrome using the following command 'google-chrome --password-store=basic' (the first sync, I guess) [21:59] !ask | seccunda [21:59] seccunda: 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 [21:59] its about my latitude c300 [21:59] flashingpumpkin, what pci devices do you power off and why [21:59] In ubuntu, I installed the system, and it some how flagged the initial user as a admin even though I created a new user and put them in sudoers, so whenever they install an app it prompts for *my* password [21:59] ive got oscam server on ubuntu 10.4 lt [21:59] TK5791: I've seen that here: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?tid=75e0a4c1582f8e98&hl=en [22:00] is there a way to make it so it prompts them for their password? [22:00] dcom23, the idea is to power off the GPU. I don't use it while on linux so I'm good with using the integrated one only. I don't want it to consume power - and the spinning fan is getting annoying for an unused card [22:01] how can i install my reader as a smartreader protocol [22:01] this is massy [22:02] dcom23, I've blacklisted the drivers in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-gpu.conf - but doing a cat on /sys/devices/.../power/runtime_status still gives me an "auto" - and the fan is still spinning [22:02] Hello [22:02] flashingpumpkin, http://ubuntu.sabza.org/2007/09/07/using-terminal-to-shutdown-processes/ [22:02] oh hi mate [22:02] dcom23, I'm not talking processes. I'm talking turning off the power for a PCI device :) === matt_ is now known as Guest20343 [22:02] This new Ubuntu UI keeps flashing the "Search" overlay [22:03] heyyy motha fukaaaassss [22:03] wtf is this shit [22:03] !language | elmer_ [22:03] elmer_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [22:03] Hey, I'm trying to bundle install from a user that has no password [22:03] flashingpumpkin, oh, already if you have blacklisted then the script should not run.. [22:03] Or atleast I believe it has no password === charles_ is now known as Guest33581 [22:03] How can I do this [22:03] As in, I click a window but then out of nowhere the search window shows up [22:03] fuk off [22:03] Hi guys. I've just installed 10.11 with unity. I've also installed chromium. But for some reason open chromium windows isn't available when I switch between programs with alt+tab. Any ideas? [22:04] TK5791: as a chrome/ium power user I offer the following suggestion, 1. sync everything, 2. keep passwords in an extension rather than the local machine, 3. delete your local chrome folder and restart chrome, that will always give you a fresh uncorrupted re-start [22:04] All other programs that are open I can swithc between. (At least all I've tried( [22:06] almoxarife: he has already removed the folder but the problem keeps appearing [22:06] flashingpumpkin, please check the modules of the pci that have to be blacklisted again.. [22:07] flashingpumpkin, barring BIOS support for disabling, I don't think you can stop power going to a device, certainly not by blacklisting it's driver... [22:07] hi yall [22:08] can i please get a recommendation for converting DVD to AVI. i love handBrake, but i need something that will make 1 AVI per CHAPTER on the disk [22:09] zykotick9, Yep. I realise that, unfortunately ;) [22:09] brb [22:09] Hello all, what is the best sound controller for oneiric version ? [22:09] zosky, that should be doable with handbrake with some manual clickery and i assume it still supports avi files (unlikely) [22:09] zosky, you could try dvd::rip - not sure it has that feature mind you [22:09] brontosaurusrex, handbrake doesn't do avi anymore (smart move really) [22:11] latest ati driver (11.11 from amd website) broke suspend/resume on my machine: I get a black screen, but the desktop environment works. how to solve it? [22:11] almoxarife: thanks... anra just posted a link that suggested I sync without the password box ticked and this resolve... according to the google forum the problem resides with Ubuntu and is something to do with the login Keyring... something I was having trouble with before [22:12] how do I keep the password sync in an extension? [22:12] pepee, i hope next time you think twice before installing drivers direct from manufacturer instead of using the distro's version (that might even be tested to work). Good luck. [22:12] zykotick9, ok, and yes handbrake is trying to be smart, even smarter than x264 (trying new ways to make some logic layer on top of excellent x264 internal one, pretty funny experience last time i tried...) [22:12] Hello. I am trying to start mongodb as a service using upstart. [22:12] zykotick9, unfortunately there are no bios options :( [22:12] TK5791: http://www.roboform.com/platforms/browsers/google-chrome [22:13] is there an open David font for Ubuntu? [22:13] flashingpumpkin, i wouldn't expect there to be... [22:13] what is a David font? [22:13] But it doesn't seem to be working. It isn't running after reboot when I do service mongodb status [22:13] szal: it's a font found in Windows, good hebrew one [22:13] used by latex's babel package [22:14] but there it's a metafont [22:14] TK5791: and yes, don't allow chrome/ium to keep passwords local [22:16] I imagine I'm doing something wrong with upstart. [22:16] almoxarife, ya - keeping your own passwords is a bad idea, giving them to Google to keep safe is a much better idea [22:16] almoxarife, its not only the passwd it store more many things ..about the browser history.. [22:17] zykotick9, ubuntu's driver is a couple months old, and has it own problems [22:17] Hello all, what is the best sound controller for oneiric version ? [22:17] zykotick9: no, they don't go to google, they go to 'roboform', one must read to get the full effect, sarcasm [22:17] Could someone remind me where bashrc is? [22:17] pepee, well, your issue is no longer with Ubuntu - you should contact AMD/ATI support if you have issues with their driver now [22:17] where do i do that? [22:17] pangolin, locate bashrc [22:18] brontosaurusrex: heh, thank you :) [22:18] dcom23: if you are worried about 'history' or the bad man knowing where you are at I suggest 'tor browser' [22:19] almoxarife, s/Google/Roboform - my point is the same. People's reliance on "the cloud", err "the fog" is bad for software freedom. Do as you wish however. [22:19] almoxarife, i really don't keep history its auto to clear after exit ..thanks [22:21] guys, how to close port 80 to everyone and only allow it from 2 ip addresses with iptables? [22:22] hi there, out of interest, if i burn the iso image of 11.10 to dvd, can i run it as live and check temp/ram anyway? [22:22] Onepamopa, post 80 is for dns i think so.. [22:22] Advocated, you can install packages not on the cd and access them through the live try ubuntu session [22:23] Advocated, or use existing packages [22:23] dcom23 port 80 is web, not dns [22:23] dns is udp 53 [22:23] ;) [22:23] what port is cups sharing ? [22:23] thanks to know that..:)) [22:23] atruno, any recommendations for checking temp / ram etc? or evne capacitors if possible [22:23] Onepamopa: easiest way is to use ufw [22:23] dcom23: see 'analytics opt-out' , it's a start [22:24] Advocated, sudo apt-cache search temperature monitor. for ram press shift to access grub menu and run memtest86+ [22:24] Advocated, that might be easier done with a existing linux installation. though i wouldn't say it would be otherwise impossible [22:25] almoxarife, i am going to ccna i will learn there..:)) === derp is now known as o-H === o-H is now known as Smegma [22:26] nice [22:26] hello everybody [22:26] what's the minimum size of the disk to install ubuntu on? [22:26] I would like to know if I can boot windows with virtualbox and grub === Smegma is now known as Zalgo [22:26] something like that [22:27] learningc: minimal is quite small, if you start putting an x server on and stuff it gets a lot bigger [22:27] atruno, can i do these on the actual live cd, i mean temp and ram? [22:28] Germanaz0: virtualbox can boot install Windows OSes, I've heard of data corruption and your games will run badly, if at all [22:28] ActionParsnip: the standard ubuntu desktop edition versin 11.10 I mean [22:28] learningc: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements [22:28] learningc: for ubuntu, something like 4GB but there are other versions like lubuntu which need less then 4gb, also you can use the minimal-iso and choose what you want to save space [22:28] ActionParsnip: is not for games :S, this is for university programs [22:28] learningc: About 4-4.5Gb with standard desktop and apps, nothing extra [22:28] i do not know about modern temperate technologies i do know that in your bios settings that if you set you fan speed control to disabled you will get full power throttle at all times for your cpu. what you likely want to do is stress test your cpu and make sure it doesn't beep. and do that bios tweak. [22:28] that them gave me, and I have to run windows :s [22:28] I need to create a virtualbox disk ans I need to know the size [22:29] almoxarife: I'm trying to sink but the browser is hanging again. [22:29] learningc: my lubuntu install is little over 4Gb [22:29] learningc: my installation takes 2.8GB [22:29] growing weary with it all [22:29] Germanaz0: should be ok [22:29] so, 5GB should be sufficient? [22:29] learningc: of course [22:29] ok thanks [22:29] TK5791: browser or 'sync' hanging? [22:29] sync [22:29] but I do not want to run windows like a program in the virtualbox under ubuntu, I would like to boot windows, using grub [22:29] both on Chromium and Chrome [22:29] with a virtualbox [22:30] learningc: I'd go 6Gb to allow for updates [22:30] will it be slow if the disk is almost full? [22:30] using the iso inside the ubuntu partition :D [22:30] had to force stop Chrome which crashed the browser [22:30] learningc: not really [22:31] Germanaz0, they gave you virtual box windows *.vdi this will only run with the virtual box inside the os with installed virtual box in it [22:31] learningc: but remeber, you need 4GB for ubuntu and maybe 1GB for swat [22:31] learningc: no but it can cause you to not be able to login. I always gove 10Gb to / and use the rest for swap and /home [22:31] learningc: also having more free space for updates and other stuff as ActionParsnip is a good idea [22:31] TK5791: never had 'sync' hang, you are using 'chrome or chromium'? [22:31] both [22:31] would just like to use Chrome [22:32] TK5791: both? why? [22:32] I thought that Chrome was the problem.... but it appears more and more to be the OS [22:32] anyone had issues needing libxul in 11.10? [22:32] dcom23: yes but I would like to run windows with the virtualbox, but booting with grub instead use ubuntu inside [22:32] is there a way to compile software for amd64 when the cpu does not support amd64? [22:32] iceroot, not that I am aware of [22:32] was having sync problems with Chrome so someone suggested Chromium [22:32] TK5791: what is the OS? version? [22:32] TK5791: could try the daily chromium build, worked flawlessly here for ages now [22:33] 11.10 [22:33] hm, are there any servers from ubuntu/canocial where i can build amd64 software? [22:33] iceroot, dunno [22:33] Germanaz0, simply cannot boot *.vdi from the bios that what are you asking for [22:33] iceroot, good question. [22:33] iceroot, isnt that compiler specific? [22:33] TK5791: I use 11.10 and daily chromium, no issues [22:33] brontosaurusrex: i dont know [22:33] TK5791, same here [22:34] brontosaurusrex: need to build an amd64 kernel here in i386 hardware [22:34] well it must be me then... christ knows [22:34] iceroot, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1498929/compiling-for-amd64-under-i386-debian [22:34] TK5791: you already synced chrome once before? [22:34] how do I go back to original gnome in 11.0 and get rid of unity? [22:34] TK5791: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [22:34] lattera, at the login prompt select the gnome classic option instead of unity [22:35] anra actually the easiest way is apf ;) but I dont have it on that machine [22:35] iceroot, iam not an expert but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_compiler [22:35] (yet) [22:35] gdm is set to auto-login [22:35] pepee: thanks, i will try it with multilib [22:35] brontosaurusrex: thx [22:35] ActionParsnip: he needs to wipe his local chrome settings too [22:35] QHO PLAY ULTIMA ONLINE? [22:35] lattera: original gnome = gnome3? [22:35] iceroot: sure? no clue, I just don't want unity [22:35] lattera, ah....I remember seeing a work around for that......let me see if I can find it for you. [22:35] yes, but the sync only lasted until I rebooted the browser and then it reverted back to there is a problem with your profile crap [22:36] Onepamopa: I haven't tried that, but it would be difficult to be simpler than ufw :-) [22:36] lattera: 11.04 or 11.10? [22:36] ah, nvm http://ubuntuguide.net/ubuntu-11-10-how-to-auto-login-gnome-shell-gnome3-desktop [22:36] how old is this version of Ubuntu 11.10? [22:36] TK5791, the version is the date so 2011 - 10th month [22:36] TK5791: 20(11.10) [22:36] TK5791: was released in October (10th month) in 20(11) [22:37] so very new and full of bugs? [22:37] TK5791: the version numbers are a dead giveaway [22:37] Hey mates [22:37] yea [22:37] thank you action [22:37] it's flaming new and full of bugs [22:37] TK5791: the 'profile crap' is because your profile is 'crap', with one fix only, delete the profile by removing your 'chrome folder' in your local folders, do you know how? [22:37] TK5791: not stable like 10.04 [22:37] TK5791: could try Natty [22:37] if you want something stable and awesome, get 10.04 [22:37] yes [22:37] unless you are just itching for unity [22:37] I'll give it another go [22:38] TK5791: wait [22:38] So I have a fun issue today, it's that my wireless cuts out of 2-3 hours, will not reconnect if I don't restart. [22:38] itching for an easier life [22:38] ;/ [22:38] How do I generate an ssl certificate [22:38] TK5791: you use what to install remove stuff? [22:38] erm? [22:39] TK5791: synaptic ? apt-get? [22:39] Koolvin: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=how+to+generate+ssl+certificate+ubuntu === andy_ is now known as Guest36768 [22:39] simply go the folder .config rename folder [22:39] lattera, looks like you need to modify your etc/gdm/*conf file look for the AutomaticLoginEnable and set it to false [22:39] hi friends [22:39] I wouldn't go Lucid personally, Ive see it not so friendly with newer hardware [22:39] !google | matrix3000 [22:39] matrix3000: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [22:39] I installed new drivers, because my wireless adapter was one of the ones that did not initially work with Oneric [22:39] TK5791: yes, but to remove a package, what do you use? [22:39] lattera, besure to make a backup incase you mess things up [22:39] Vivo, could be got heated too much.. [22:39] TK5791: could make a fresh ubuntu user and log in as that, see if it'sok [22:40] I rename then drag it to the rubbish bon [22:40] bin [22:40] Koovin: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/certificates-and-security.html [22:40] n00berG00ber: it's a vm I just barely set up [22:40] I guess that this isn't the way to do it? [22:40] I try to install pidgin in Ubuntu 10.4 LTS Lucid but get unmet dependencies, because the repository sources known to the system only support older versions of gconf2, perl-base, libpurple0 and no version for libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0. How can I get newer versions of those libraries into my system? [22:40] TK5791: how did you install chrome? [22:40] lattera, then in your vm under it's etc/gdm it should have those same files [22:41] another user helped me download via Terminalk === the is now known as Guest79158 [22:41] anyone had any trouble with libxul on 11.10?
