[00:00] ikonia, I perhaps misworded that.. rather doing 'cat [files] > /dev/null' writes the info to the buffers in memory.. Just seems strange to me that the hdd can fall asleep and you can access the file without it waking up again.. Like as if it checks the RAM first, then the hdd [00:00] your disk will never fall asleep so it's a pointless process [00:01] ikonia, it'll never fall asleep/spin down? [00:01] So any way to access windows 7 files from ubuntu ? like on the same network [00:01] correct unless your whole OS and all the files are loaded into RAM [00:02] Emiru: samba [00:03] hi all, after suspend my cpu scaling governor seems to be random!! for example, if before sleep its on 1GHZ, after wake its sometimes the same, or 2GHZ, or performance, or on demand, it just seems random. How is it meant to work and where can I change the defaults? [00:04] ikonia does it require any installation from the windows computer ? [00:04] Emiru: no [00:04] hello; I am trying to install ubuntu on a RAID0-configuration, but I keep getting the error "Executing 'grub-install /dev/mapper' failed." when the installer tries to install grub. The partition I'm using for / is logical. Any hints? [00:04] ikonia alright thanks ill try it out [00:04] zachanima: you can't install /boot to raid 0 [00:04] ikonia, so the harddisk is basically never idle? What process would be writing/reading from disk.. if we discard X for a sec. [00:05] CharminTheMoose: syslog, kswapd, many processes [00:05] ikonia: so ... I need to have a non-raid0 drive in the machine? [00:05] zachanima: partition [00:06] ikonia: is that possible in 'the middle' of the drive? Ie. the first three partitions are spoken for, the fourth is an extended partition with / and swap ... hrm. [00:06] put it where you want [00:07] My Encrypted home partition is now causing my system to crash sometimes how to I remove encryption from my home without repartitioning? [00:08] well I am assuming that is the cause because I get a black screen and it shows a bunch of text about encrypt [00:09] man unity fuckin sucks, but atleast you used to be able to use gnome [00:09] what apps can i use to open a .txt file on ubuntu? [00:09] Hey guys. I just upgraded from maverick to natty and now my linux server boots to grub> normally it just boots right up to the login prompt, but not anymore. Any ideas? [00:09] now i got gnome and it looks nothing like it used to [00:09] how do i downgrade gnome? [00:09] slgma: tone the language down [00:09] sorry [00:09] slgma: you can't downgrade gnome [00:10] that is terrible [00:10] not really [00:10] first they ruin ubuntu with unity [00:10] and let you choose between it and gnome [00:10] then they ruin gnome also [00:10] slgma: gnome 2 is dead - it's nothing to do with ubuntu [00:10] im stuck using xfce [00:10] ikonia: is there anything in particular I need to do to set up a non-raid0 partition in, say, gparted, or should I just create an extended -> logical 4th partition? [00:10] slgma: the gnome team killed gnome 2 [00:10] zachanima: nothign special [00:10] slgma: stuck?! :[ [00:10] xfce ftw [00:10] xfce sucks too [00:10] its nice willwh [00:10] ikonia: neat, I shall try it - thanks [00:10] zachanima: as long as it's not part of your raid disk, you are fine [00:10] but i miss some stuff about gnome panel [00:11] LXDE FTW!!!! [00:11] slgma: awn? [00:11] :) [00:11] awm* [00:11] nonoi, awn is right :P [00:11] ikonia: it is on the physical drive (I am not quite into the possibilities of raid yet), and I thought you were either raid0-ing the whole disk, or none of it? [00:11] ahah [00:11] ! notunity | slgma [00:11] slgma: 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 [00:12] how can i edit/bring up the edit option for my application, places, system bar??? [00:12] thru terminal! [00:12] zachanima: you dn't have to raid the whole disk, but you can't partition a raid 0 disk and put /boot on it [00:12] lxde fast gnome slow [00:12] LXDE! [00:13] ikonia: well, I have 2x128gb physical drives configured as raid0. How would I go about creating a non-raid partition while retaining the raid0-ness of the rest of the drive(s)? [00:13] whats the command to bring up main menu options [00:13] or to edit them [00:13] zachanima: depends on how you radied it [00:14] it was raided by default from the factory, the entirety of both physical drives are (as I understand it) configured as raid0. Where would I be able to see information on _how_ it is raided? [00:15] ikonia: ^ for you :) [00:15] zachanima: game over then [00:15] ikonia: heh, alright ... hmm. [00:15] ikonia: so my option is to pretty much remove all partitions and raid0 from scratch? [00:15] zachanima: is it hardware, software or fakeraid [00:16] robin0800, i dont see fallback mode in the list [00:16] id be happy with my current xfce setup [00:16] if it wasnt for certain windows not being themd [00:16] does anyone iknow how i can edit the panel menu bar from the terminall>>> [00:16] ??? [00:16] ikonia: so I am guessing hardware means 'oh bugger', software means 'I can start from scratch', and fakeraid means ... what, exactly? [00:17] zachanima: hardware is a true hardware raid controller independant of the OS, fakeraid is host raid, where it's a hardware controller, but the OS is the raid host, software raid is just that, raid controlled/managed by the OS [00:17] i command u all to read my poetry http://fecal-matters.mooo.com [00:17] ikonia: will any of them make it completely impossible in any way to create a non-raid0 /boot? Will all of them? [00:18] zachanima: what is YOUR setup [00:18] im using xfce, but some programs (brasero for example) arent themed like the rest of my windows [00:18] how would i correct that? [00:18] ikonia: I have no idea how to find out, actually :/ [00:18] zachanima: what model machine is this ? [00:19] KVM issue: Ubuntu 11.10 - W7 vm using virtio disk bus and qcow2 storage format. Windows 7 install extracting process took hours reached 20%. Disk IO was high also.. Anyone experience this? Maybe I should try raw instead of qcow2? [00:19] ikonia: Sony Vaio Z (VPCZ2290X-LBOM) [00:20] ikonia: all I can find is '256GB (128GB x2) solid state drive with RAID 0' [00:20] zachanima: ok, so that's host raid, so bascially you need to dump raid [00:20] ikonia: and just have a 'regular' partition table with no raid at all? [00:20] In Ubuntu is there an application to see what port is being used by what app/servcie? [00:20] zachanima: correct [00:20] Will installing Win7 in virtualbox from restore DVDs delete my files on ubuntu ? The Acer recovery tool says all the C: drive will be deleted, but obviously, there is no C: on ubuntu [00:21] does anyone here know of a way to impose file size limits on a per user basis other than limits.conf? Limits.conf doesn't work with samba. [00:21] emiru the c drive is just a parttion [00:21] Emiru: no [00:21] however it will overwrite grub [00:21] and lock you out of ubuntu [00:21] ikonia: that is duable. Thank you, I will look into this and consider whether it's worth doing. I presume it is possible to revert to a raid0-setup again, should I ever want to? [00:21] s/duable/doable [00:21] zachanima: sure [00:22] ikonia: neat. I should be able to figure things out from here, I think. Thanks again, you have been instrumental in shedding light on this problem :) [00:22] ls [00:22] no problem [00:22] Im stuck in grub mode after upgrading from maverick to natty. I am trying to do the fix listed here http://aaron-kelley.net/blog/2011/04/grub-prompt-after-upgrade-to-ubuntu-11-04/ BUT I dont know what my root is. My server is installed in a VM. How do I find out? [00:23] slgma any way to install windows then and keeping ubuntu like it is then ? [00:23] theres tutorials that let you reinstall grub once you reinstall windows [00:23] socky_ : Super grub bootdisk? [00:23] Daghdha: netstat will show a listing of ports in use with processes, yes. [00:24] Is there a way to disable authentication so that I don't have to enter my password all the time? [00:24] !grub | Emiru [00:24] Emiru: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [00:24] Daghdha, whats that [00:24] tcp6 0 0 :::4626 :::* LISTEN [00:25] Socky: Super grub bootdisk boots from CD and fixes the grub, i used it once. It savedme. [00:25] It doesn't list a application though tonyyarusso [00:25] Quick question, how can I send a reverse shell or create a bind shell with the netcat-openbsd package from Ubuntu :-? the other ones have -e flag which allow me to do so. Also I only want to use this netcat and not mknod or telnet [00:26] Daghdha: Check out the -p switch in the man page. [00:26] so no way to disable authentication? [00:27] how about this one; ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa ? [00:27] sickn3ss: nc -L -d -p -t -e /bin/sh [00:27] ubottu I didnt installed Windows yet, it says all the C: data will be gone and the computer will be back to original state, but since its in VirtualBox I thought I could get away with it [00:27] Emiru: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:27] lol [00:27] sickn3ss: try that [00:28] how do I edit ubuntu software center? [00:28] sickn3ss: actually nc -nvv -l -p -e /bin/sh [00:28] stryke297: what do you mean by edit it? [00:29] so, what if you want to record the radio station you are listening to? [Rhythmbox] [00:29] placing port as argument to -p [00:30] tonyyarusso: to install WINE I was supposed to open up the edit option for Software Center and add ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa to some part...but it doesn't have such a feature. [00:30] tonyyarusso; actually I'm supposed to open software sources....oops [00:30] hi there [00:31] I have a ? if anyone is free [00:31] kernel^klink: Just ask your question. [00:32] Which actually brings me back to my first question, is there a way to disable authentication [00:32] thanks, that worked great [00:32] On my Asus eeepc 1005ha if I turn off wifi using the fn key I must reboot to re-enable wifi. is there a workaround besides re-enabling wifi via the cli [00:33] socky_: I have a burned copy of it on my server :) [00:34] oh my god, once, this channel had tens of users :o [00:35] $sudo psswd root will make it so I an always root user and won't have to authenticate? [00:36] I think you need to login as admin [00:36] I only have my user. [00:36] I might be very very wrong tho [00:37] I just hate that I have to type my password like 50 times a session. [00:37] yes, Ubu creates two users at default [00:37] Oh. [00:37] an admin and a user [00:37] so how would I login as the admin [00:38] by logging in as one? [00:39] once your pc is booted, you can 'log out' [via the menu] and login again as root [00:40] exit [00:40] there is no root on ubuntu FireBeard stryke297 [00:40] !root [00:40] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [00:40] Ubuntu does NOT log you in as an admin/root for a reason [00:41] anyone know why some windows arent themed in XFCE (like brasero for example) [00:41] xangua: explain yourself [00:41] xangua: just because there is no root password doesn't mean there is no root [00:41] ..there IS a root password [00:42] it's just called an admin password [00:42] slgma, perhaps its using gtk3? you should avoid brasero and use xfburn... seriously. [00:42] is all [00:42] FireBeard: it's commented out i believe by default [00:42] xfburn doesnt work for me [00:42] just spins my disk really loudly and doesnt ever stop [00:42] i prefer gnome programs Artemis [00:42] thunar isnt bad [00:42] celthunder: what about sudo then [00:42] slgma, your call, my experience with brasero has been the complete opposite. [00:43] you can login as an admin [00:43] brasero is extremely stable for me [00:43] rarely ever fails [00:43] xfburn sounded like it was gonna burn up my disk drive [00:43] FireBeard: what about it [00:43] never mind [00:43] <|Slacker|> brasero worked like crap here too [00:44] I'm using Lubuntu, how do I change the name of a desktop shortcut or make a new one? [00:44] <|Slacker|> it never finds my cd drive [00:44] gnome-baker is good too [00:44] !root [00:44] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [00:44] !sudo [00:44] sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [00:44] !cli [00:44] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal or type in it: man intro [00:45] slgma, should be a problem with wodim, after all xfburn is a simple front end, much like gnomebaker used to be. brasero on the other hand... takes over the drive, if brasero ever crashes, goodbye to burning (or reading) until restart, that was my experience with it. Oh, and doesn't play along with k3b either [00:45] gheh, the password for ubottu is secretyo [00:45] so how do i change the gtk theme from xfce? i want brasero and nautilus to look the same as everything else [00:45] i hate k3b [00:45] and all things KDE [00:45] ikonia: Hmm. Considering the host raid nature, would it be possible to have a (small) boot partition out of the raid configuration, and then have the rest of the drive space in raid0 (obviously not being able to use the /boot size on the second physical drive)? [00:45] KDE is the worst thing to happen to linux since unity [00:45] So if sudo is all I need why even have a password, and what of the function $sudo psswd root ? [00:45] even though KDE was first === vongrippen___ is now known as vongrippen [00:45] i love k3b [00:46] !happiness [00:46] Chocolate! And Strawberries! And ICE CREAM! Ooo! and 60 minutes +m! [00:46] slgma in Appearances you change the gtk2 theme... [00:46] doesnt work for me [00:46] KDE used to be friggin cool [00:46] gnome is ugly [00:46] did I sleep for a couple of years? [00:46] :? [00:46] yeah [00:46] use lxde [00:47] I am having intermittent network issues. Sometimes I can reach my server on my local network, sometimes I can't. If I ping it from another machine it says pinging 192.168.0.2 and then says 192.168.0.99 host unreachable. Where did this 99 ip come from? [00:47] strange... [00:47] ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa [00:47] :~$ $sudo passwd root [00:47] passwd: You may not view or modify password information for root. [00:47] subone, wifi? [00:47] Artemis3, it doesnt effect the gtk apps when im using xfce [00:48] it did in ubuntu 11.04 [00:48] ever since unity became part of ubuntu, upgrades have been hell [00:48] pepee, yes [00:48] all kinds of stuff messes up and stops working [00:48] I don't see how updates would be different with another DE [00:49] subone, may be a rogue AP? [00:49] slgma, are you sure its not only a few apps like you said? is leafpad and friends not changing appeareance? [00:49] So what's up if I go to Displays and it just says "unknown" [00:49] leafpad appears to be themed [00:49] pepee, i am not configured to connect to unknown open networks [00:49] nautilus and brasero are among those that dont theme [00:50] pepee, both computers are connected to the correct network and subnet === vongrippen__ is now known as vongrippen [00:50] did one check what is supported? [00:51] subone, strange. I once had similar problems, but no idea what is the problem [00:51] hii friends [00:51] hello [00:51] Anyone else? I've had this problem for a long time [00:52] where do i download jperf pkg [00:52] n how do i install [00:52] you can't google? [00:52] how do you run settings manager from terminal? [00:53] <|Slacker|> slgma, settings-manager i guess [00:53] something with alt-f2 [00:53] I need to get out of here.. [00:53] does anyone here know of a way to impose file size limits on a per user basis other than limits.conf? Limits.conf doesn't work with samba. [00:53] nope |Slacker| [00:53] <|Slacker|> slgma, gimme a sec [00:54] |Slacker|, k [00:54] get rid of the | === sysadamin|away is now known as sysadamin [00:55] nbros652: samba is a method to share, I don't see how it would run file size limits [00:56] almoxarife: right. I was wondering if there's a way to impose limits similar to using quotas, which does work. [00:56] nbros652: the share could be limited at the local level [00:56] FireBeard, hii is thr any network performance measurement graphical tool in linux [00:56] <|Slacker|> slgma, you're not in X there? [00:56] what do you mean [00:56] almoxarife: when you say "local" are you referring to client side or server side? [00:57] nbros652: sounds more like you want upload/download ratios [00:57] <|Slacker|> just can't remember the friggin' it ain't system settings either [00:57] Jasmin: wha? [00:57] its xfce4-settings-manager in xfce [00:57] i was wondering what it is in gnome [00:57] any network performance measurement graphical tool in linux [00:57] wait, I need to kick my fucking cat's ass [00:57] Hey all. I want to have a 3-monitor setup (which is practically impossible natively in Ubuntu, right now). SO, I'm trying to find hardware to do the trick. Let's say I have two 800x600 monitors. I connect the monitors to the box, then the box to the computer. The box reports to the computer that it has one monitor with a res of 1600x600, then splits the computer output between the two monitors. [00:57] nbros652: shared folder is owned by some local account, it would define the quota [00:57] almoxarife: basically, I want to limit uploads to a maximum of an arbitrary size, say 15MB [00:58] !language | FireBeard [00:58] FireBeard: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [00:58] <|Slacker|> oh i see...just can't remember...I thought it was system settings in gnome, but it isn't [00:58] whats the command to open the panel main menu to edit it from terminale?l..anyone knows?? anhyone anyon [00:58] nbros652: perhaps you need something like FTP then? and I am not a FTP expert [00:58] almoxarife: the quotas are all in place and working. I want to prevent large files from filling the directory too quickly. [00:58] I have no idea what that name of these are or how to search for them online. I keep coming up with splitters (mirrored) -- can anyone help me with this? [00:58] fellayaboy try alacarte [00:58] MonkeyDust, perfect [00:58] thank you [00:59] almoxarife: so you don't know of any way to do this with smb?

[01:09] Joshr1: ctrl+alt+t is rasy too [01:09] Joshr1: did reading those linux basic guides help you any? :) [01:09] T3LL0, then suspend, and after resume, press space to play the song [01:09] I want to map a sleep button my keyboard to suspend but I can't find a suspend command; anyone? [01:09] Yes Ermo, quite a bit. Thank you. [01:09] Joshr1: cheers -- glad to hear it :) [01:10] ermo, ok you are correct.

[01:10] ermo, note that the server is not accessable from other computers as well during these down times [01:11] Jasmin: have fun then [01:11] subone: I would investigate cabling, switching and ip-address conflicts -- does the network have a DHCP server or do you use static ips? [01:11] pepee: and did you fix it? [01:11] almoxarife, that's why I'm asking him, because it may not be a machine lock, but "just" a black screen [01:11] FireBeard, fuck u' [01:11] T3LL0: describe your machine [01:11] subone: if someone with the same static ip as the server turns up, your issue would be typical [01:11] !language | Jasmin [01:11] Jasmin: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [01:11] T3LL0, i had to go back to fglrx 8.881 :( [01:11] strange that you should evalulate OS'es in virtual machines [01:12] thanks for fucking me [01:12] Now I also want to know if I can keep an account limited to it's home directory when using SSH. [01:12] !language | FireBeard [01:12] FireBeard: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [01:12] seriously, do i have to call in an op? [01:12] How much disk space should I dedicate for a full compile? (make world) [01:12] Joshr1: You can, but I believe it's an advanced topic that requires jailing or using a restricted ssh client [01:12] with gui and everything [01:12] Hmm ok [01:12] [02:11:47] FireBeard, fuck u' [01:12] Joshr1: for which purpose? Do you want to give users shell access or do you just want them to access files? [01:13] FireBeard, stop now [01:13] I reacted to that [01:13] Just files. [01:13] i dont care [01:13] I did NOT say that, I just reacted to it [01:13] FireBeard, i already sent the same warning to Jasmin. you then responded. [01:13] ermo, my configuration isn't set up afaik with any other computer with that ip. However, if that were the case, how would I be able to test that theory? [01:13] you also got the warning [01:13] almoxarife: is a netbook ASUS eeePC 1000HD, Intel Celeron M processor, 1GiB RAM [01:13] * ermo wonders what happened "don't feed the troll" [01:13] *happened *to [01:14] subone: change the server ip? :) [01:14] I now remember why I stopped going here :) [01:14] subone: ensure that DNS is set up correctly on the network and make sure that clients use the DNS name. Then the change of IP shouldn't affect anyone negatively? [01:14] I can click on a suspend button in logout menu but how do I dot that in a terminal? [01:15] w30: Did you try 'apropos suspend' in a terminal to see if there are any man pages related to what you want to do? [01:15] Ermo: what I want to do is limit some accounts to the Files, but allow a terminal link with an account. [01:15] Joshr1: Can you rephrase that? I'm not sure I understand you :) [01:15] lol [01:15] Hmm ok [01:15] ermo, ok I will see. [01:16] The idea is to maintain a file server of course. [01:16] ermo, Great! Thanks! I will do that. Is there any other things you could think of that might also cause these symptoms? [01:16] However I do not want to allow the entire file system to be accessible by all accounts when using sftp. [01:16] we can post F*** here, because no child will ever know what it means, but say what you fucking mean, and it's a big problem [hello ban] [01:16] I was wondering why packages don't update for example gcc 4.4 on unbuntu natty but then on latest, oneiric, it is gcc 4.6. Will natty remain at 4.4? [01:17] subone: Actually, re-reading your issue, it might be the .99 ip that has a conflict [01:17] subone: since you can't reach the server OR the internet [01:18] I guess I could accomplish this through group permissions? [01:18] subone: is your box (the one with .99) cabled or wireless? [01:18] w30, check out if this post still applies http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=813387 - i certainly never used suspend from cli before, and don't recognize the command(s) used at all. good luck. [01:18] Joshr1: You could take a look at ftps via vsftpd instead -- it does jails by default [01:18] Joshr1: I use it on my own box [01:19] Joshr1: and then you can give shell access to trusted users [01:19] untrusted = jailed to home directory, no shell access [01:19] trusted = sftp access, can be controlled via permissions [01:19] I need a little help is this the right place? [01:19] Will it then allow me to use that softlink to my raid? [01:20] Joshr1: .. huh? [01:20] * ermo doesn't remember anything about the raid [01:20] Oh last night I was here looking for a way to allow access to a raid. [01:20] nekrozis, if the help you require is ubuntu related, then probably. Just ask your question [01:20] new kernel released ? [01:20] I have the OS on a SSD, and then a raid-0 setup. [01:20] or is just me that upgraded [01:21] yeah.. new kernel [01:21] I was trying to find a way to create a link between the home directory and the raid. [01:21] Joshr1: I'm afraid you need to provide little more context. Ahem. [01:21] *a little more [01:21] Been using 11.10 since it came out and turned password off in user accounts now I can't do updates because I dont have a password [01:21] So that is where the softlink came into play. [01:21] Can someone provide me a screenshot of 11.10 rendering engadget.com with the default browser? [01:22] This was before I realized ssh and sftp gave access to the entire filesystem. [01:23] Joshr1: http://www.brennan.id.au/14-FTP_Server.html <- take a look at that guide and ask yourself if not that setup fulfills your file servering requirements when using FTP over SSL :) [01:23] $Kt81$Tk [01:23] Joshr1: time for a new password? ;) [01:23] tried to reset password in recovery but it said authentication failed or something similar [01:23] lol yep [01:23] Hello All [01:24] RedArmy: why? [01:25] Can anyone help with password Problem? [01:25] nekro: whats the prob? [01:25] almoxarife: doing a rendering comparison against some new infinality patches, curious to see what's going on in ubuntu's rendering [01:25] Looking to buy SSL cert, recommendations? Verisign is a little pricy.. [01:26] yesh: read up about a page [01:26] RedArmy, http://i.imgur.com/LZK4R.png [01:26] yesh: something about him disabling passwords [01:26] i use infinality [01:26] oh [01:26] I can't believe that just happened. [01:26] Joshr1: the password thing? [01:26] ermo, I'm not sure what you mean by getting something different by reading my question. I thought you had it right on. The "response iterations" in the terminal, from running ping 192.168.0.2, was referring to the local machine IP, reporting the server unreachable. [01:26] nekrozis, you can't really turn passwords off - you can turn login passwords off, but not passwords themselves. Do you remember what your passwords was (and are you 100% sure)? [01:26] Turned password off in user accounts now I can't download updates and when I try to reset through recovery it says authentication failed or something similar, resetting in user accounts doesn't recognize old password so I cant' reset there [01:27] click on your name [01:27] yes i remember [01:27] should bring you upto 'user accounts' [01:27] s/was referring/were referring [01:27] Ya, I was logging into remote desktop and it did that. [01:27] theres a lil button that says automatic login === vongrippen_ is now known as vongrippen [01:27] subone: You said that during the outage, .99 (client) couldn't reach .2 (server) nor the internet, yet .2 (server) could reach the internet. [01:27] that should disable the need for a password [01:27] Gentoo64: thanks for that. Can I have the whole window if possible [01:28] hang on [01:28] RedArmy, im not on ubuntu... [01:28] subone: if there was an ip conflict with .2 (server), the server wouldn't be able to reach the internet. [01:28] RedArmy, but i have the latest infinality and local.conf etc [01:28] ermo, I don't recall saying that 99 could not connect to the internet. [01:28] could someone help me install a programme here on ubuntu? [01:28] !password | nekrozis [01:28] nekrozis: Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords [01:29] Gentoo64: oh I see [01:29] nekrozis, you didn't happen to change your computer (host) name did you? [01:29] subone: "From the server machine I can still access the internet during these times." [01:30] I apologize that was not ment to be an exclusive statement [01:30] subone: how's your lan set up? Is the server also the firewall/NAT box? [01:30] Im trying to install this .exe programme called guitarpro on ubuntu [01:31] Can anyone help? [01:31] zyko no i didn't change the host name [01:31] !tab > nekrozis [01:31] nekrozis, please see my private message [01:31] ermo, No there is a Netgear router serving wired and wireless devices [01:31] !wine | yesh [01:31] yesh: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [01:31] nekrozis, then see the link about LostPassword above. [01:32] ermo, the server is just a host on the network with a static ip, i dont think ive ever gotten dns configured for it [01:32] Ive tried wine n checked their db too. Its on there with a bronze, silver and gold recommendation, but I cant seem to get it to work [01:32] subone: Does the netgear router handle DNS? [01:32] zykotick9: ok [01:32] is the xserver pacgage the same in 10 04 as 10.10 ?, [01:32] yesh, #wine-hq might be able to help for specific wine issues [01:32] subone: If I were in your shoes, I'd examine every single host on the network and ensure that it was set to pull its address via DHCP [01:33] zyko: those guys are wankers [01:33] yesh, and sorry, it's #winehq [01:33] not as helpful as the #ubuntu lads [01:34] subone: I'd also look to see if the Netgear router allows you to assign static IPs (per MAC address) via DHCP [01:35] subone: is it a mixed network with both linux, windows and mac clients? [01:35] s/look to see/check/ [01:37] is it safe to bank online with ubuntu? [01:37] StepNjump2: the same as any other operating system, why not? [01:37] as safe, if not safer than windows [01:38] StepNjump2: The security depends on many things, of which your OS is only one component. Assuming that you're using a browser based banking solution, I'd say "Yes" [01:38] scorchgeek... With all the stuff that happens nowadays in the winworld! Makes one wonder [01:38] its safer than windows either way [01:39] ok ermo [01:39] StepNjump2: To put it this way: I have no qualms about using my Browser + Java Applet based banking solution :) [01:39] zykotick9: when i go through the recovery mode to change password i get ' Authentication token manipulation error' and ' password failed to change' [01:39] ermo, yes, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Ubuntu Natty, Ubuntu Lucid, Android, XBox360, WDTVLiveHub, iPod, and the occasional freeloader [01:39] I have a friend who reboots in tiny linux everytime he connects to his bank on a stand alone computer... [01:40] subone: What kind of server is the server? Windows? Linux? Is it serving files? [01:40] StepNjump, some people are over paranoid [01:40] StepNjump2: well if you're paranoid I suppose it can't hurt [01:40] I'm fairly paranoid myself, but I'm not worried about that [01:40] I guess that would be the ideal solution but I'm too lazy to set up a computer JUST for banking [01:40] nah thats silly === matt_ is now known as Guest73763 [01:40] nekrozis, i've seen this error once before - i have no idea how to fix it - good luck!

[01:41] nekrozis: Are you using a GUI tool or the command line to change/set a password? [01:41] zykotick9: yep been working fine till today, thanks [01:41] Gentoo64: so instead she makes you deal with it? [01:41] where can i fin source code of ubuntu ? [01:41] nah i tell her that her comp is fine (xp) [01:41] !source | hemangpatel [01:41] hemangpatel: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [01:41] no ermo but he wears it because he's worried about RF exposure to cell towers [01:41] StepNjump2: /me wonders if that was a joke or not [01:42] lol [01:42] * StepNjump2 lol [01:42] is it just me or did 11.10 mess up the camera functions. (i cannot record with almost any program for some reason.) (i just fresh install of 11.10) [01:42] Anyone here got compiz working smoothly with gnome3 instead of as a separate window manager completely (latest release)?

But I've been wrong before :) === all is now known as Guest16897 [01:44] BuenGenio, trued /var/log/kern.log? === Guest16897 is now known as kaio [01:45] subone: server? wireless? [01:45] nac-godfather: yes in gnome classic but you have to hack it [01:45] subone: surely you're not serious? The server is of course cabled, right? [01:45] nevermind DISPLAY=:0 its just not updating via remote desktop viewer [01:45] fellayaboy: you may ned to use 'xhost +localhost' from the x session. and ff is special and mayneed a -noremote option i recall [01:45] subone: hint: that wasn't a question. [01:45] should I just set it as chattr +a ? [01:45] whats the -a [01:46] i only use i [01:46] append only [01:46] So basically, you have to revert back to fall-back type mode in order to use compiz, no mate and compiz or anything? [01:46] ? [01:46] Hi [01:46] BuenGenio, could try it [01:46] BuenGenio, but dont var log kern.log say anything? [01:46] Is mutter going to come out with some user-set desktop effects to replace compiz or what? [01:47] fellayaboy: don't you need to ensure that X11 forwarding is enabled? I don't remember off the top of my head, but I'm sure google has a few tips for you if you ask nicely :) [01:47] ermo and scorchgeek: http://blogs.computerworld.com/17515/being_safe_with_ubuntu_on_a_usb_flash_drive [01:47] How can i permentatly "metacity --replace" from terminal though [01:47] they are 2 different projects nac-godfather [01:47] Gentoo64, Nov 21 15:14:52 byngeast01 kernel: [ 0.000000] Initializing cgroup subsys cpuset [01:48] ermo, It's just my personal machine. I share videos and music over the wireless network to my television mostly. However, it often does not see the server for sometimes up to a full day (though the length of time before it sees the server again may be affected by the client WDTVLiveHub). [01:48] that's the first line from yesterday's first reboot [01:48] hmm [01:48] no idea if thats causing anything [01:48] cant see why its cause a reboot [01:48] subone: 'it' being the telly? [01:48] ermo, but during uptimes media playback is responsive and continuous [01:49] StepNjump, theres articles like thateverywhere [01:49] StepNjump, to be safe online banking, make sure you dont have keyloggers, viruses etc (stuff linux dont get) and make sure the site is real and using https [01:49] Gentoo64 I know.. but you are right === Emiru_ is now known as Emiru [01:49] you dont need a livecd or hardened system for banking [01:50] subone: I don't suppose that you have a couple of Linksys WRT54GL routers handy, with which you could configure a wireless WDS bridge? [01:50] ermo, Sorry, 'it' being the middle man WDTVLiveHub. It's a piece of junk I bought on the spur of the moment last Christmas. [01:50] fellayaboy, i assume that means disable compiz allows VNC to work? [01:50] ermo, no lol [01:50] fellayaboy: test what you are doing with a simple xterm. i recall firefox needing an extra options to work remotely [01:51] subone: you see, I'm very suspicious of vendor firmware. The only _really_ stable wireless AP/Router firmware I've worked with is the Linksys/Broadcom kernel 2.4 based 'Tomato' firmware. [01:51] tomato :) [01:51] got to love that [01:51] subone: wireless router/AP vendor firmware, that is. [01:52] subone: bottom line: Wireless is only as reliable as your AP firmware and your network card drivers. [01:52] Gentoo64 would it be safer to run a desktop user instead of administrator at all? [01:52] subone: hence my wry comment about servers and cables [01:52] StepNjump, yeah of course [01:52] zykotick9, I dug through that suspend link and found something that works; not what is in the suspend button but nevertheless works, thank you. [01:52] StepNjump, you shouldnt be running root for normal stuff anyway thats the point of normal users [01:53] w30, nice, glad you figured it out. [01:53] ermo, Ok, let's say you're wrong and I hook it up wired and the problem persist. Then what would you recommend? [01:53] Oh ok.. nobody ever told me that! [01:53] StepNjump, well now you know [01:53] yep! [01:53] StepNjump, ALWAYS use normal user [01:53] Thanks a lot [01:53] some stuff refuses to run as root (chromium for eg) [01:54] subone: for instance, in my home, I've got two linksys wrt54gl routers with tomato set up just to keep a wifi bridge running. They can go for months without dropping the connection or rebooting. [01:54] And if I need to install something new, I would run su from the normal user or would log into my administrator account? [01:54] subone: Then I'd look at IP address conflicts. [01:54] StepNjump2: Yep [01:54] StepNjump, use normal account always, and use sudo for stuff where you need elevated rights [01:54] StepNjump2: sudo [01:54] subone: how many clients do you have on your network? 10+? [01:54] StepNjump, that way you drop straight back to normal user when the commands finished [01:54] ok thanks Jonta [01:55] and Gentoo64 [01:55] StepNjump, did you manually set a root password then? [01:55] theres no harm in that, but just dont login as root or leave a root terminal open if you dont know what youre doing [01:56] !noroot [01:56] We do not support setting a root password.

[02:22] great nbros652 i such a basic programing so how would i write that [02:22] i suck* [02:22] putty has a nice gui to enter the ip [02:22] bowo: so you want to setup ssh daemon on ubuntu? [02:22] fellayaboy, probably something like this: http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/faq.html#slideshow [02:22] Hey guys quick question, I took a look at the netcat-openbsd version and it seems to be missing the -e flag. So how could I actually specify a program for netcat, such as /bin/bash to create a reverse/bind shell ? I don't want to use mknod or telnet or pipe it in /dev/tcp/ just netcat, any ideas ? [02:23] no [02:23] i can using ssh connection [02:23] cz my connection is encrypt / blocked with admin [02:23] fellayaboy: something like... find ./ -name "*.jpg" | while read pic; do [open ${pic} with your program];sleep 60;done [02:23] bowo: be more clear in what you want and need [02:23] bowo, look for putty.exe for a Windows environment [02:24] fellayaboy, xscreensaver-command seems the key to manual start it [02:24] bowo once ur ssh'ed into your remote machine...if i u want to execute program ON THE remote machine..u type in "DISPLAY=:0 firefox" for example...if u want to run a program on your machine u have to log in again using "ssh -X username@ipaddress [02:25] oke thanks fellayaboy [02:25] openvpn is there for free? [02:25] to surf freely [02:25] bowo: yes. there are a few. freevpn, usaip for example [02:26] bowo once ur sshed with -X you can run a program via terminal "firefox" "transmission" and the window will display as if your on that machine [02:26] ssh -x ssayabowo@ssh.sign.io [02:26] u shouldnt show ur username and ip address in a public room...someone could hack u...just a warning/ piece of advice [02:26] x and X are opposites in ssh [02:27] dr_willis, what do u mean [02:27] direct me please [02:27] nbros652, that seems like it could do ima see brb [02:27] dont use -x when you mean - X [02:27] Anyone have a copy of ubuntu's sources.list file, this ec2 one keeps failing. [02:28] hi all i need help on intel graphics [02:28] well bowo u have to make sure ur router has the port for ssh opened..which is 22..then install openssh-server on both pcs..the machine ur using and the one u want to connect to [02:28] !ssh [02:28] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [02:28] i need some help to troubleshoot my video problem using intel-graphics [02:28] if i leave the machine running on long hours i might end up the entire desktop freeze and the display like this video i capture http://youtu.be/KxevkWbpWzM [02:28] is it possible to "downgrade" from ubuntu11.10 to maybe 11.04 or 10.10??? [02:28] davidvip: neat [02:28] dr_willis, but they are opposites u say? [02:28] !downgrade | tobe [02:28] tobe: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported and may break your system. [02:28] tobe: the sanest way to downgrade Ubuntu is to reinstall [02:29] one disables.. other enables fellayaboy [02:29] bah humbubg.... [02:29] so it will edit the X11 forwarding configuration? [02:29] reisio: neat? [02:29] davidvip: means interesting [02:30] i find nothing on /var/logs :grin [02:30] then who do i freely surf [02:31] X enables. x disables i think [02:31] cz my internet connection at the limit to open a website [02:31] omg [02:31] bowo: freely meaning what? [02:32] could it be driver? [02:33] dr_willis: bowo said his connection is blocked/filtered [02:33] i can only open a certain website only and can't be free to open his [02:34] bowo: and whos blocking you? [02:34] Administrator [02:34] a company? [02:34] yep [02:34] hmm.. thanks anyway, gotta find solution elsewhere [02:34] (his work) [02:34] i can't open facebook orrrrr other [02:35] one way to get fired..... [02:35] just mailed your admin with logs [02:35] what you mean [02:35] omg :D [02:35] i wish i was joking [02:35] vpn. or a ssh tunnel to a outside server [02:35] or well, you wish I was. [02:35] Make your time (: [02:35] bowo: So you came here to moun about admin? [02:36] yesterday i was able to surf freely on the windows by using ultrasurf [02:36] you mean 'unrestricted' [02:36] freely is a vague term :-) [02:37] thats cool' [02:37] yeah unrestricted [02:37] bowo: what is your native language? [02:37] indonesian [02:38] bypassing company security can get you fired. [02:38] * w30 looks at scoreboard Admin: 2 bowo:1 *smile* [02:38] biznet range [02:38] dr_willis: Depends on the company [02:39] i saud 'can' not will :-) [02:39] I wouldn't get fired if i killed our firewalls here i think [02:39] i think [02:39] dr_willis: Depends on the company [02:39] do i have to install java in 11.10 or there is a default alternative? [02:39] (: [02:39] think [02:39] lauratika: what do you even want it for [02:39] !java [02:39] To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK).

[02:44] like wine tricks or something like this [02:44] i think i saw somw winetricks script option for java in wine [02:45] you could try just 'wine path/to/win32javainstaller.exe' === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [02:45] does wine comes with java by default? [02:46] no it dont [02:46] ok [02:46] that would make no sence :-) [02:47] you could ask in the wine channel also [02:47] !wine [02:47] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [02:47] and the wine app database [02:48] Hey Guys - I'm completely new to ubuntu - I need to install a partition on windows - should I download the windows installer version of Ubuntu? [02:48] thanx i rather just download java [02:48] Cavezza: you need to do what? [02:49] My friend's starting to teach me rails tomorrow, he suggested I install ubuntu on a partition- that it will save me a lot of time in the long run [02:49] Cavezza: do you know what a partition is? [02:50] Not really - based on a quick read, I'm assuming I have to divide my hard drive, but I assumed there'd be a resource that would do it in a somewhat automatic manner [02:50] Cavezza: let me rephrase, do you 1) want to do exactly what your friend said and he said to install "to a partition", or 2) simply install Ubuntu in whichever way is simplest [02:50] ah [02:50] there might be, but I don't recall people suggesting any [02:50] Cavezza: you have Windows on the entire disk right now, aye? [02:50] "You might want to install Ubuntu on a partition ( > 50 gb if you can spare) beforehand" [02:50] Yes - windows on entire disk [02:51] Cavezza: okay, and you'd like to do this as opposed to running Ubuntu in a virtual machine or other somewhat simpler approaches, right? [02:52] Honestly, I didn't follow up to figure out exactly what I needed - I'm thinking I can install ubuntu on an older pc to test it out [02:52] Cavezza: ah, that would be simpler [02:52] Cavezza: to install alongside a Windows usually you have to defrag Windows, boot to a live OS, and resize partitions [02:52] the last bit is potentially not completely safe :D so you would want to have backed up your most important files first [02:53] whereas installing on a spare box you have is: insert cd, click things, done [02:53] Cool - Okay - sounds like I should install one in a virtual machine first, and then go from there. [02:53] or even insert USB [02:53] Cavezza: that's a pretty simple route :D [02:53] Cavezza: what's your processor? ram? [02:54] 3gb amd athlon [02:54] 2.2 GHz [02:54] that should do nicely [02:55] Cavezza: you want further instruction? [02:55] Why, all of a sudden did my keyboard shortcut to launch Terminal stop working? I tried to reset the shortcut and now I cant declare "CTRL" in the shortcut, despite pressing CTRL it only shows ALT+T when I reset the shortcut. [02:55] wiggmpk: smack all your ctrl, shift, alt, win keys to ensure none are stuck [02:55] what command do you use to remove a directory with a console ? [02:56] reisio: they are not stuck [02:56] Emiru: a directory you assume to be empty, or other? [02:56] wiggmpk, don't smack, gently push the buttons [02:56] No - that should be good enough - Some trial and error should help nicely - thanks a ton! [02:56] Emiru: for the former, rmdir, otherwise rm -fr [02:56] Emiru: rmdir [02:56] Artemis3: presumably he was already doing that :p [02:56] rmdir alright thanks guys ! [02:56] Cavezza: okay, well I'll go ahead and suggest VirtualBox over other VM solutions [02:56] Cavezza: and if your processor supports AMD-V, go ahead and get the amd64 install image [02:57] Cavezza: to learn rails? Do that on your Win box, that should work. Mess with Linux later ........ [02:57] Artemis3: reisio: it's not stuck, I can use CTRL + C & CTRL + SHIFT + C and the paste equivalent with no problems. [02:57] flaguy48: he's learning from someone who's only willing to teach him the proper way :p [02:57] I accidentally made a soft link with two directory names instead of one directory and a link name: ln -s /scripts/ /home/nikolas/Dropbox/salokin.

[03:44] Argos20: you probably lucked out and got a local Australian mirror [03:44] kierkkadon: depends why you want it [03:45] awesome [03:45] anyone here using brtfs? Fresh install and chose to use brtfs for / ...is it more or is it almost painfully slow? Using apt to install stuff takes SOOOOO long. [03:45] I used to have a mirror for the distro I use in the same town as me [03:45] reisio, I want to get python to work [03:45] it was super awesome [03:45] RIP [03:45] kierkkadon - sudo apt-get install build-essential [03:45] kierkkadon: python doesn't have much to do with gcc [03:46] DeviceZer0: btrfs performs well, but unfortunately the fsck isn't quite ready yet [03:46] Hi guys, I've got an OpenVZ VPS running Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS, I put a link from /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/firewall to /root/firewall [03:46] reisio, the README file said that python needed a C compiler, and it specifically mentioned gcc as an example [03:46] DeviceZer0: so if your filesystem becomes corrupted, you will be in for some waiting [03:46] The interface doesn't come up when i do this? [03:46] post boot the script works fine [03:46] kierkkadon: what readme file? [03:46] kierkkadon: to install python you'd probably run sudo apt-get install python, and get a _precompiled_ python interpreter [03:46] hi noob here; i messed up my ubuntu install; when i log in through the graphial window it lets me in; to a blank desktop with a terminal open and nothing else.... need advise to just reinstall it back to the way it was from the distro or something [03:47] azrad: you want what, GNOME? [03:47] i was messing around with compiz and unity (that was the cause of the problem) [03:47] reisio, The one on the python website...I downloaded a tar ball file, extracted it, and read the readme inside [03:47] kierkkadon: okay, that's not how most people would install python [03:47] reisio; that would be fine i guess; anything is better than what i got; not picky just need something :) [03:47] Also, I'm completely new to linux [03:47] Anybody know what happened to package "iptables-persistent" ? It used to work in 11.04, now I can't even find it. [03:47] reisio, ah. Well..i may just reinstall tomorrow with ext4 then. I thought I'd give brtfs a shot since it seems to be all the rage now..but this is getting annoying. Install a few dependencies for compiling xbmc has taken around 30-35 mins so far...like 15 seconds to dl the debs and now its SLOWLY installing them all. [03:47] kierkkadon: you should exploit your package manager: sudo apt-get install python ... it might even already be installed [03:48] azrad - you probably just need to log out to your login-manager, then select a different desktop environment. sounds like your selected Xterm [03:48] Something has to be wrong. Apt has never taken this long before. [03:48] azrad: yes hit the cog next to the login box === sysadamin|away is now known as sysadamin [03:48] kierkkadon: I could tell :) [03:48] kierkkadon: with Linux you rarely go to a website and download a package [03:48] reisio, how do I use the package manager really? Just use the names of files that I want? Is there somewhere I can look at a list or search? [03:48] reisio: ok thanks for the tip; i'll have to reboot to try it [03:48] kierkkadon: more frequently you look for a package by name or description with your package manager frontend, and tell it to install, and are done [03:48] kierkkadon: yes there's a frontend called 'Software Center' [03:49] kierkkadon: and you can install a slightly more versatile one called 'synaptic' if you like [03:49] kierkkadon: there's also a TUI frontend called aptitude, and you can use apt-get install as well [03:49] reisio, I have that, and I've been using it, but it doesn't seem to have a very complete database. I don't normally find what I'm looking for [03:49] I'm using Muon, the default KDE one [03:50] kierkkadon: can you give an example of something you couldn't find? === ArchAttack is now known as Guest28728 [03:50] MATLAB [03:50] Dwarf Fortress [03:51] wow has mint really overtaken ubuntu :-( I finally found a cool unity app that I think fixes my issues with ubuntu called MyUnity [03:52] kierkkadon: to explain that, my guess is that's due to matlab's licensing [03:52] How do I get my windows and such back after I get into terminal? [03:52] kierkkadon: and dwarf fortress is probably just new [03:52] Guest28728: once unity becomes more feature complete and refine ubuntu will reign again [03:52] although games frequently have annoying licensing as well [03:52] Also, searching 'python' in Muon returns nothing [03:52] kierkkadon: in any case, what you typically do for packages that _aren't_ in the official package repo [03:52] d34d1y: ctrl-alt-f11 iirc [03:52] d34dly - depends on your desktop environment, and windows manager. [03:52] any ideas on how to create unity launchers? I want to create a variety of term launchers,each launching a different ssh session [03:52] kierkkadon: is 1) look for a 3rd party repo with the package or 2) look for a .deb file on their website [03:53] <[snake]> good night community of linux users. [03:53] kierkkadon: well then this muon you have sounds like garbage :) === sysadamin|away is now known as sysadamin [03:53] alsoeric - unity uses .desktop files [03:53] reisio, the review for it _within Muon_ was only 3/5 [03:53] xD [03:53] kierkkadon: hahaha ha [03:54] I'm currently getting synaptic [03:54] edit with emacs,no gui?? :-) [03:54] ZenGuy3111: I hope so cause I'm on mint12 now and sure they have a somewhat good bottom taskbar big whoop nothing that I personally think makes them any better, heck i didn't like it so i'm on xfce [03:54] kierkkadon: the bottom line is unless the package is _incredibly obscure_ (matlab and python do not qualify), there are already compiled binaries for it, and you don't need gcc [03:54] reisio: woot ok that got me to a usable desktop (now i can continue to play around with it) [03:54] azrad: fun to break things, eh? [03:54] lol yeah [03:54] azrad: next time just restart gdm [03:55] alsoeric - http://askubuntu.com/questions/35488/list-of-custom-launchers-quicklists-for-unity [03:55] reisio: thanks, got any tips for repairing unity? [03:55] reisio, thanks for your help [03:55] kierkkadon: are you using the muon package manager ore the muon software centre === mike is now known as Guest12865 [03:56] robin0800, I was using Muon Software Center, now I'm using Synaptic [03:56] vibhav, i followed what you sent, and it looks like it did something. It's not totally stable, but more stable and faster than before. Hope i can make it stay that way. I'm very surprised it worked, cause power management was already ser to "off", but ordering to off it again make it work better. Weird :) [03:56] javier_faj: What do you mean by stable? [03:56] kierkkadon: you should use the package manager for things like python [03:57] well i'm off to reek havoc on my machine; thanks again reisio [03:57] robin0800, I see that now [03:57] nairb, thanks 1 prob is right click menu on desk top does not display anything related to launcher creation [03:58] So hey, I'm installing Ubuntu Netbook 10.04 for the first time on a book that's supposed to be for an 8 year old. How to child-proof Ubuntu? [03:58] alsoeric - just use a text editor, and create a .desktop file launcher http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ [03:58] Astroe: define 'child proof' [03:59] Astroe: you want to keep it from being broken, or from being used to look at tubgirl? [03:59] vibhav: Like, I want it to be simple, so I'm going to put a Firefox icon on the desktop labeled "Internet" but I want to prevent him from visiting porn sites [04:00] or anything that might scar the poor boy [04:00] mmmm [04:00] there are some filter apps... [04:00] Astroe: Use any proper DNS Service like OPENSN [04:00] but they aren't as good as, like... teaching him the value of not wanking 24/7 [04:00] alsoeric - or use alacarte (install it if not installed) and copy/edit the .desktop file it makes [04:01] Astroe: Obligatory comment about technical solutions to social problems ;) [04:01] it's not my kid, roomie's grrandson, so teaching him to not wank is out [04:01] Astroe: dodged a bullet there [04:01] you could just autoload xeyes, that'd be discouraging :p [04:01] Astroe: dansguardian is the name of the most popular web filtering app in the repos. [04:01] m [04:01] Astroe - you can always do host redirection [04:02] Astroe: You can also look at sabayon for locking down the desktop settings. [04:02] has anyone had the issue where the updated to 11.10 and began receiving frequency out of range on their monitor after? [04:02] Astroe: Also, pessulus [04:03] With dansguardian do I have to enter each website individually that I want to block? [04:03] Astroe: No, it has categories [04:03] Astroe: No filter is foolproof, but they try. [04:03] Oh cool, I'll check it out. Thanks :) [04:03] Astroe, kind of a big risk for a child not really your responsibility, but somewhat becomes one when you do this, if me I would not touch it with a 10 foot pole. [04:04] She specifically asked me to filter the kids internet though [04:04] She wants him on armorgames.com and that's pretty much it [04:04] And in exchange for helping her with computer stuff she "helps" me on math homework :p [04:05] muahahahahahah [04:05] multiplication, amirite? [04:05] Is there a way to see the flags a launcher on the unity dash may be using? [04:05] cobalt237: undoubtedly in some . dir in ~/ somewhere [04:05] y'know, or /etc/ [04:05] still woudn't I would say seek professional help, just the fact that you come here for info, would be a red flag or should be for her, as far as your knowledge base and where and who should be the person doing this. [04:06] Astroe: you could fairly easily block every site but that one, but that'd be a bit lame :p [04:06] Yeah, I figured a whitelist would solve it, but that would be lame [04:06] I want him to be able to get to any site regarding Ubuntu tech support too :p [04:06] Yeah, but which file? [04:07] I assume dansguardian will be relatively simple to configure, once it's installed [04:08] I'm booting the VM to check now :D [04:08] While I'm in here, anyone have any experriance with WinXP dual boot, installed after Ubuntu? [04:08] With no CD btw [04:08] vibhav, stable: before doing this, I was trying to install gimp in terminal, and speed of download was not higger than a few mb (10 kb/s, more often 1000 bytes/s, and some times 0 bytes/s. That is not stable). After I did this change, it went up to 100kb/s, for some minutes, but in between, going down to several bytes/s for some moments (and back to speed later) [04:09] Astroe: you need to know how to do it with no CD? [04:10] Yeah, I have the WinXP .iso provided by my school, but no CD's to burn it to. Do have a 4GB flash drive though [04:10] Astroe - there is also nanny [04:10] if it's not for games and the hardware isn't too bad, I'd suggest using a VM instead [04:10] sudo apt-get install nanny [04:11] It is for games though :p I have a winxp VM that I use for homework [04:12] But I have 20GB on my HD that are for WinXP but I don't want to have to re-install my Ubuntu [04:12] Config is a B**** :p [04:12] Astroe: :p [04:12] Astroe: if you have access to a Windows box, most of the USB imaging tools for Windows media are... win32 [04:13] lol that sucks [04:13] there is a (video, pfft) how to over here, though, for Windows 7 (I assume most of the steps would be the same): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nv1tHc_UiWA [04:13] Could I image the USB from a VM? [04:13] yeah you could :p [04:14] Oh then that would be no trouble, the trrick would be getting rerscatux or the grub rescue disk back onto the usb after win install [04:14] it would? [04:15] Hmm.. Maybe if I booted to live cd and installed frrom there. Cool, thanks dudes :) [04:15] Has anyone seen this possible/rumored SSH 0-day? [04:16] Astroe - you can use usb-creator on the live-cd to install ubuntu to a usb, if thats what you need [04:16] all I've got is a video showing a demonstration of it but not much else [04:16] video? lawl [04:16] nairb: I'm trying to install WinXP to the USB, thanks though [04:17] Astroe: oh It hought you wanted to install it to a hard disk _from_ Usb [04:17] Yes, that [04:17] ah okay good [04:17] installing _to_ a USB is even more of a PITA === frogonwheels_ is now known as frogonwheels [04:17] But saying install to USB is simpler :p [04:17] !ping [04:17] another contentless ping... sigh... [04:18] !pong [04:18] pong is an old atari game. It's fun! [04:18] !cookie [04:18] Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [04:18] :D [04:18] sorry, got it backwards, since i dont tend to use windows. [04:18] nairb: you Ubuntu user you [04:18] mostly ubuntu, debian, or gentoo [04:18] you fancy Gentoo user, you [04:18] have also done LFS [04:18] Yeah, I don't like to. Had to install VirtualBox to use it for school. Eliminates compatibility issues with theirr machines :( [04:18] i love gentoo [04:19] portage rules [04:19] wish debian/ubuntu had a mixed configuration for portage & apt [04:20] nairb: does your LFS survive? [04:20] Astroe: still, better than forced to do a physical install [04:20] nairb: no need, all you need is a binary repo for Gentoo [04:21] reisio - ;-) it was a while ago. and maybe on one of these computers [04:21] rerisio: Yeah it's only for the Word documents, don't need to connect to the school or anything :/ [04:21] reisio - yeah [04:21] Sabayon has one, but unfortunately they broke backwards compatibility with vanilla Gentoo, for no good reason AFAICT === |_ocke2 is now known as |_ocke [04:21] Anybody got Ubuntu working with X on a Droid? [04:22] pretty sure some have, yes [04:22] Ah, but without chrooting! [04:22] without rooting? [04:22] that'd be some trick [04:22] I am using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, my power went out during a partition resize using gparted. The partition involved was not a boot partition, just media like movies. When I run the program testdisk, it finds the right partitions and files, but fsck and gparted do not seem to agree. Any ideas? [04:22] reisio - i know. but i like the source-config-managment with portage. just helps you figure out what your system is really doing [04:22] Chrooting to a loop file through android [04:22] jfcaron: what FS? [04:23] Like installing an Ubuntu ROM straight to the SD card. [04:23] reisio: ext3 [04:23] nairb: yeah, I meant re: wish debian had portage/apt mixed config [04:23] nairb: simpler to just make a binary repo for Gentoo [04:23] and a wrapper if you need it [04:23] I know there's erpm :p [04:23] anyways, yes [04:23] the 0 day is legit [04:23] sorry, epm [04:23] gg :P [04:23] reisio - there is sabayon (i think its is spelled) [04:23] rpm workalike for emerge [04:23] nairb: ...dude I just said that [04:24] ;-) [04:24] oh [04:24] kinda tired [04:24] nairb: more coffee for you, then [04:24] reisio: If the filesystem was ext3, is the journal able to recover the files? [04:24] reisio - mountain dew has gone flat, and out of coffeee [04:24] Ooh, good one. With the "Hide" buttons enabled on your toolbars, is there a keyboard shortcut to hide and unhide them? [04:25] reisio - and loads of code to go [04:26] jfcaron: might want to talk to ##linux about that [04:26] hey guys, i just installed ubuntu 10.04 and having trouble with my wireless connection [04:26] reisio: Ok, I'll try there. Thanks. [04:26] reisio - good chatting. keep on keeping on. and good night. [04:27] hi [04:27] is somebody there? [04:27] hi [04:28] mae-ubu1004: yes [04:28] great [04:28] i've just installed xfce [04:28] Astroe: Use any proper DNS Service like OPENDNS [04:28] i 've been using gnome so far [04:29] mae-ubu1004: all in one line [04:29] vibhav: For what? [04:29] please [04:29] for openvps, does the client need to install the deamon? [04:29] how do i find out if my wireless drivers are installed? i am having wireless problems [04:30] vibhav: OpenDNS isn't actually proper - they don't return proper NXDOMAIN responses :( [04:30] i feel kinda used to gnome visual effects, does xfce supports vissual effects similar like gnome's? [04:30] mae-ubu1004: yes, but gnome was using compiz, you can use that with mose xfce apps [04:30] mae-ubu1004: ...you talking about GNOME 2's effects? [04:31] correct, Gnomes 2's [04:31] tonyyarusso: What about Dyndns? [04:31] mae-ubu1004: I don't think GNOME 2 had any, just compiz's as aeon-ltd says [04:31] mae-ubu1004: you can use compiz with Xfce if you want [04:32] i see... i 'll take a look then at that [04:32] thx for your response [04:32] yeah, don't really see anyone saying yes, unity is great, I want gnome-shell over compiz... [04:33] different purposes [04:33] hope they get their act together and come up with some solution [04:33] vibhav: Totally different type of service. [04:33] nac-godfather: solution to what [04:34] yeah, i keep hearing that, but the overall objective is a huge userbase and one window manager that's cool. [04:34] you'd think everyone would wanna contribute to the best. So hopefully compiz will conform to gnome3 [04:34] hard to believe this irc channel is not added by default in gnome [04:34] not trying to be elitist, but it's really to appeal to new and casual users, if you were serious about several aspects of linux you wouldn't stick to defaults [04:35] mae-ubu1004: for Ubuntu you mean? [04:35] hello all can someone tell me the command for installing gnome desktop on server setup have tried sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ... no joy .... [04:35] that could make sense [04:35] yea, for ubuntu [04:35] neededinghelp: what comes up whehn you try? [04:35] what is that suppose to mean, so advanced user's should stick to legacy software? [04:36] no, build up from server then you have control [04:36] unable to locate package ubuntu-desktop [04:36] I think he was suggesting that advanced users don't need to rely on Canonical customizing their desktops for them [04:36] not really, especially running ubuntu with it's dependency mess [04:36] neededinghelp: no internet? [04:36] ... [04:36] wwut? [04:36] nac-godfather: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/apostrophe for the children [04:37] neededinghelp, what's the output of "lsb_release -sc" [04:37] hi [04:37] yea this is all a bad dream ... amd im not talking on line atm .... [04:37] chy: hi [04:37] lol [04:37] yes wired inet on machine and it is on [04:37] nice reisio [04:38] I modified my lsb_release, didn't like it branding my own OS. [04:38] :) [04:38] wut... [04:39] If I download something with apt-get, where does it go? [04:39] I downloaded python-doc and now I have no idea how to get to it [04:39] nac-godfather: yet you use a distro that's so heavily into branding, testing and user support [04:39] dpkg -L python doc "kierkkadon" [04:39] that's where it put it's sh*t [04:40] No, I'm just using BT actually [04:40] man, i recently tried kde, heavy, slow, and i couldnt connect trough my wireless conection [04:40] hey guys, i just installed ubuntu 10.04 and having trouble with my wireless connection, how do i check to see if the drivers are installed [04:40] Thanks [04:40] I like gnome, was gonna build my own OS up from LMDE or SID myself, but there's a lot of work involved for minor fixes. [04:41] I want my codecs out of the way and haven't really seen anything appetizing other than LMDE or BT. [04:42] clear, iwconfig [04:42] you could also just try using it, and there are tons of wireless tools out there for checking. [04:43] "no wireless extensions" [04:43] ;\ [04:44] hi, does anyone know about the interface as0t0 in my ifconfig output, how do i remove this.. tnx [04:44] my xvidcap doesnt record anymore on ocelot [04:45] DB125, well if it has no ip then it's harmless.. [04:45] DB125, probably a package depends on vpn or something like it [04:46] DB125, OpenVPN ring any bells? [04:46] what does the %U do..i see it often in panel icons [04:46] gast2root: recordmydesktop is what people use now, or one of its frontends [04:46] zykotick9, i've already remove openvpn, but it's still there [04:46] reisio: does recordmydesktop record to mpeg too? [04:47] DB125, ? do you see anything "odd" in /etc/network/interfaces (wild guess here) [04:47] Hi, Im having trouble compiling my wireless ralink driver. I have tried to make sense of the errors produced by the makefile however it might as well be double-dutch :S [04:47] how can u run a program from the terminal as if u clicked it the link/icon [04:47] zykotick9: the thing is i cannot update my system because of this [04:47] gast2root: don't know, don't care [04:48] It seems to be errors in the programming of the driver [04:48] meaning i dont want it to be dependent on the terminal im on...so if i close it it wouldnt effect it [04:48] reisio: ok tnx ill try the package out... [04:48] My errors are here: http://pastebin.com/ZSRAksK9 [04:48] Please help, I am running on the slowest connection around because I am using a really old device to connect [04:49] fellayaboy, you could try "nohup program" then try closing the terminal to test [04:49] I am following these instructions: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6600309 [04:53] nah that didnt work but i have a question...usually i see in the icons on top that they have a command section...if u type that command in terminal the program runs..however why is it that when u click it, it doesnt run a terminal window with it ..similiar to the way the program is dependent on the terminal window when it closes when u open it from a terminal? [04:53] its kinda a weird question i guess... [04:54] I get that, I think it's dependant on whether the progrram was launched by the GUI or the terminal [04:54] fellayaboy: if you dont want the program to be dependent on the terminal window from which you ran it try adding a '&' at it's end like --> firefox&, after that you can safely close the terminal.. [04:54] fellayboy: Both way they both simply access the run file. [04:54] hmm sattu94 let me see [04:55] the reason i ask is if its not running on a terminal than what is it running on when u click the icons above [04:55] its a weird question.. [04:55] fellayaboy: ther terminal acts as an outlet for the program to show errors, it's not required. [04:55] liek what is it running on when u click on the icon ...i guess what program [04:55] sattu94, & certainly doesn't work here (closing terminal, closes launched program) using nohup does work though? [04:56] oh i see [04:56] zykotick9: did you add '&' ? [04:56] fellayaboy: If you wanted to run firefox and typed that into terminal they run (dont quote me) '/usr/bin/firefox'. When you click a launcher, it runs '/usr/bin/firefox'. At least I think that is the directory. Well my point is they both simply run a launcher file, terminal is not responsible for the access. [04:56] sattu94, yes "foo &" [04:56] sattu94, have YOU tried it? [04:57] i see,...im guessing i was guessing terminal was dependent on everything [04:57] Guys, I am having problems compiling my driver. [04:57] its weird i know [04:57] thanks guys [04:57] My errors are here: http://pastebin.com/ZSRAksK9 === shane_ is now known as st_prg [04:58] zykotick9: yes it works, after you press enter, press enter again to get back to the prompt, then exit using ctrl+d, that should do it. [04:58] fellayaboy: yes it works, after you press enter, press enter again to get back to the prompt, then exit using ctrl+d, that should do it. [04:58] program& seems to work... is itheir a difference between using this and using the icons/menus? [04:58] sattu94, that's not the same as closing the terminal [04:59] sattu94, wait im lost what r u talking about sattu94 [04:59] fellayaboy, i guess i don't understand your question. Using & just gives you terminal control back, but if you close the terminal - it will close the program you launched. [04:59] zykotick9: it does not. [04:59] oh ur right zykotick9 [05:00] sattu94, without your ctrl+d stuff - yes it does [05:00] ooh [05:00] zykotick9: ctrl+d is as good as typing exit. [05:00] it seems ctrl d closes the terminal and the program still runs [05:01] yes, the ctrl+d command is equivalent to typing "exit", which is the correct way to close a terminal. [05:01] sattu94, the ctrl+d (or exit) does work - but try the X to close the terminal and see what happens [05:01] funny..at first i did program& and then closed da window via the close button and it closed the program..now it doesnt [05:01] Trying to upgrade a 9.10 server to 10.04 but the repos appear to be gone for 9.10. Anyone got any suggestions? [05:01] zykotick9: I think what ctrl+d does is detach the terminal [05:02] pangolin: no, it is as good as typing "exit". [05:02] i guess after pressing ctrl d flipped a switch sorta speak [05:02] exit does not detach the terminal. [05:02] sattu94: ok, but if you click on the X it also closes whatever "app &" [05:02] Basically the 'X' buttons acts as an interrupt or something, which is not asking the program to exit safely. [05:03] if you dont use the & and then use the X button the terminal will tell you that there is a process running and are you sure you want to quit? [05:03] sattu94: so the X is like a killsig [05:04] ? [05:04] sattu94, MY point is using "nohup foo" does this properly, so you can use X (or whatever other method) and the app should stay open -- your method is.. unpredictable. [05:04] zykotick9: my method is used for managing multiple jobs. [05:04] well check this out..i pressed control d on pidgin& ...after i did ..even if i closed the program via x it didnt close...when i transmission-gtk& and closed via x icon it closed the program [05:04] zykotick9: nohup stands for no hangups. [05:05] sattu94, exactly [05:05] so my guess is that if i contrl d from now on it will close via x [05:05] but for how long? [05:05] Can someone point me to a list of mirrors that might include 9.10 [05:05] old-release.ubuntu.com [05:05] old-releases.ubuntu.com [05:05] why so old [05:05] fellayaboy: if you want to launch stuff by typing you can try things like dmenu,synapse, or gnome do, thus sparing you top launch a terminal each time. [05:05] !eol | himuraken [05:05] himuraken: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [05:06] dmenu, synapse and gnome do hmmm [05:06] ok [05:06] tahnk u [05:06] fellayaboy: personally i prefer synapse, ot dmenu. [05:06] cool thanks [05:06] fellayaboy: synapse is easiest to set up [05:07] Thanks zykes- [05:07] Thanks zykotick9 rather [05:07] fellayaboy: do sudo apt-get install synapse [05:07] doing it now [05:07] ok done [05:07] before i screw something up, anyone available with helping me get my wireless drivers installed correctly [05:07] then do synapse terminal [05:08] ok [05:08] the thing will start [05:08] Guys... how "safe" and "clean" it is to install latest AMD/ATI Catalyst 11.11 driver in MAverick? The one that ships with it is quite old.. [05:08] kupfer rulz. .. [05:08] cool [05:08] i see the interface [05:08] fellayaboy: click the little dot beside the videos [05:08] ok [05:08] i did that [05:08] fellayaboy there you can set the calling keystroke. [05:09] anyone want to spare some advice on reviving a down system? [05:09] fellayaboy: i tihnk it's ctrl+space. [05:09] ctrl+space = activate [05:09] fellayaboy: so now you can use it to search whatever files, programs, command etcetera. [05:09] ok cool [05:09] fellayaboy: works? [05:10] oh yeah [05:10] works real good === PyRSqr is now known as Guest28469 [05:11] ima make sure to add that to startup application [05:11] and alt+f2 for now [05:11] tahnks sattu94 works very nicely and fast [05:12] tinkering with this touchpad gets to yha in the long run [05:13] anyone have any tips running apache with tomcat on 10.0x LTS? [05:15] any one ever install solr on ubuntu? [05:16] No [05:16] great look like i am the very first [05:18] whats that Guest28469 [05:20] fellayaboy: can you help me get my wireless working [05:20] i am completely lost [05:20] ill try [05:20] im not an expert but ill give it a go with u [05:20] fresh install of 10.04 lts [05:20] ok [05:21] chris@chris-laptop:~$ iwconfig [05:21] lo no wireless extensions. [05:21] eth0 no wireless extensions. [05:21] i have the wired connection working, but cant get the wireless to show [05:22] type in ifconfig [05:22] what do u get [05:22] What is the wireless card? [05:22] hi? [05:22] ...under wlan0 [05:22] no wlan0 [05:23] clear, what wireless card is it? in a terminal "lspci | grep Network" might show you. [05:23] realtek [05:23] lspci | grep Network [05:23] 02:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 8176 (rev 01) [05:23] !realtek | clear [05:23] clear: some help for recent Realtek chipsets can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/RealtekRTL8187b [05:25] lowkie: i did that with 10.04, apache and tomcat from repos.. worked great... can i help you? [05:25] Hi, I have a problem with my sound card. I am NOT using pulseaudio (uninstalled) and just plain ALSA and I degraded my HDMi device by setting snd_hda_intel index=-2 [05:25] But unFORTUNTEly, even though my Creative card is now sound card number 0, it is not outputting any audio at all in any application I try. [05:25] zykotick9, how do u guys know so much... like all these commands etc..how do u know all this stuff..is their a really really good book im missing out on? [05:25] MestreLion, which mod did you use for the apache/tomcat link? [05:25] ANd yes the mixer volume is up [05:26] fellayaboy: i wished i knew the answer to that lol [05:26] i love how stable ubuntu is after i get it all working properly, but im still extremely newb ;\ [05:26] what can u guys recommend for a person to go professional? do i have to be a developer? [05:26] lowkie: i didnt link them... i kept them using separate ports... apache on 80 and tomcat in 8080 (or 8088, not sure) [05:26] fellayaboy, no majical book that i'm aware of ;) i've been using gnu/linux for quite a long time... [05:27] MestreLion, ahh…I'm looking to join them, so that one website will do my php and grails stuff [05:27] so mainly most of these commands come from a long time ago..like that command u just gave clear..that commands been their in other previous linux distros etc [05:28] fellayaboy, lspci you mean? yes it's probably in every gnu/linux distro yes (and has been for years) [05:29] i have to seriously read a good book to slap some sense into me..zykotick9 any good links/books that can help me be more proficient with linux [05:30] fellayaboy: "Professional" what? [05:30] well..not professional...just really darn good.... [05:30] at? [05:30] fellayaboy: I imagine there's an Ubuntu for Dummies book :p [05:31] fellayaboy: you can learn a lot by just attempting to (correctly/usefully) answer every question you see in, for example, this IRC channel [05:31] yea [05:31] and paying attention to what other people answer [05:31] thats true [05:31] watching helps learn [05:31] eventually, if you have any aptitude, you'll catch up to most everyone else [05:31] People on IRC advocate using IRC!!! News at 11.... [05:31] :p [05:31] fellayaboy, there are several good book for O'Rielly [05:31] this is why classrooms separated by skill do not work [05:31] unlike me who never learns [05:31] how can i config nginx [05:32] ? [05:32] yeah alot of the same people come up with really good answers for the community..i know zykotick9 Reisio and a bunch of other guys [05:32] people with less skill do better when those with more are around as examples [05:32] i usually google and use ever command i can find without any solution [05:32] Hey, i'm trying to figure out how when I boot up in e17 I can connect to the internet (wireless). [05:32] So is it possible to boot a VM from a physical USB? Just to test that it does boot without restarting. [05:32] fellayaboy: but mostly me right? :p [05:32] clear yeah im kinda in ur boot their too [05:32] hi, anyone know where can i wget this: php-xml-5.3.3-1.w5 [05:32] then once i am in between to rocks, i come to irc looking for help [05:32] justice: you could run NetworkManager's stuff [05:32] justice: or wicd's [05:33] cyberjorge: what for [05:33] lol reisio..hey i do see u answering alot of questions [05:33] reiso: how? [05:33] reisio: i need to install it manually [05:33] lol me too clear [05:33] fellayaboy, personally, i wish i'd taken better notes over the years -- i've had to relearn too much. [05:33] cyberjorge: what for [05:33] * reisio takes IRC logs [05:34] i guess i can just run off the live copy of ubuntu activate the volume groups etc etc and just share the nfs shares and stuff from there atleast then i can watch movies and listen to music =( [05:34] yeah i kinda get their too...thats why i just practice what i learn over and over again...just doing the same commands....and just etching them..i learned from persistence [05:35] you could also ls /usr/bin/ and randomly man stuff [05:35] but i hate having to ask so much for everything..im basically always here asking how to do something..fortunately most people have an answer [05:35] fellayaboy: helps to have a solid machine too, i was only a real dog for about a year.. this quad core qosmio is beyond breath taking [05:36] fellayaboy: maybe you should ask how to find information :p [05:36] lol [05:36] right [05:36] I s'pose you just did a bit ago, though :p [05:36] fellayaboy: i usually only run into problems with doing drivers and getting hardware to work properly [05:36] reisio: do I need to dl those (in xfce, since I don't connect in e17..) or are they already there and not where i'm used to looking? [05:36] fellayaboy: you know about apropos? [05:36] reisio: so how do i find information on fixing this wireless problem?! [05:36] ..apropos...isnt that what reads ntfs [05:37] no [05:37] justice: what was the original Ubuntu version you installed? [05:37] apropos is what searches man pages i think [05:37] clear: which wireless problem? [05:37] reisio: i need to install php-xml manually on my box [05:37] cyberjorge: your... Ubuntu box? :p [05:37] my wireless isnt showing up at all [05:37] clear: know the device model? [05:37] clear is it a usb or an integrated device? [05:38] reisio: yes, my apt is broken and needs php-xml right away [05:38] integrated [05:38] did u update linux [05:38] i mean ubuntu.... [05:38] 8167 [05:38] yea [05:38] why dont u try to connect it via ethernet..update the OS and see if it works [05:38] and when i do, the wired connection dies [05:38] thats very queer [05:39] tell me about it [05:39] cyberjorge: what is the package name (not the filename) [05:40] reisio: 8167 is the model [05:40] Hey guys, me again. [05:40] So, [05:40] clear: um, okay how about the make? [05:40] Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 8176 (rev 01) [05:40] hmm [05:40] realtek is a wired, i know because mine is the same one [05:40] Unity sucks. I'm wanting to switch to xubuntu-desktop, but I like ubuntu's login screen much better. How much different is the base xcfe windows manager different from xubuntu-desktop? [05:41] garr.. [05:41] Sanus, why not gnome 3.2? [05:41] Gnome 3.2? [05:41] sanus yeah [05:41] This sounds exciting, TXR. [05:41] sanus well formally known as gnome-shell [05:42] sanus, I use it for my laptop which runs ubuntu [05:42] Sanus, agreed. I went to gnome 3.x [05:42] and I use it for openSUSE [05:42] It... doesn't look fantastic. I've already seen it. [05:42] ok so again - what steps do I need to do, now when I have internet or later when i'm in it, to log into the internet in E17? [05:42] yeah but it's fast, and looks better than gnome 2.3.x [05:43] TXR & lowkie I was hoping for something more like Gnome 2.x. It gave me a great deal of flexibility which I like. [05:43] Sanus, you may like LXDE then [05:43] LXDE is better and faster than XFCE [05:43] it's lighter, anyways [05:43] and can use gnome apps [05:43] Does it still have transparency support? [05:43] hmmm, I'm unsure [05:43] what do you need transparency for? [05:44] Review of Lubuntu indicated that it was more bugfree/stable than any of the other ubuntu flavors. [05:44] no gnome 3 doesnt [05:44] at least thast what i found out [05:44] Sanus, sorry, I wasn't after eye candy….I just wanted to get back to work without having a new UI in my way [05:44] Sanus: are you considering those options because you need a speedier buntu? if so xfce and xubuntu isn't all that light weight, lubuntu is very light.. lxde is sharp. i liked it [05:44] Though all reviews tend to say "Nice plain clean looks, but it's pretty dull." [05:44] Sanus: check your package manager for transset [05:44] i turned off unity and just used gnome3 and i couldnt make my panels transparent if thats what u mean [05:44] thats why i stayed with 11.04 for gnome2 [05:45] Both getting this Unity business out of the way and having flexibility over what my desktop looks like for the time when I don't have anything better to do. [05:45] fellayaboy: just that? [05:45] the interface is much lighter too [05:45] lubuntu did check out as the lightest *buntu. xubuntu was clsassified as "middleweight". [05:45] all in all, LXDE is like 40 or so MB's very lightweight [05:45] yes...i love my lil icons on the top on a transparent panel [05:45] unfortunately Xfce has a lot of _optional_ GNOME application support that binary distributions tend to build in, assuming people will want it [05:46] LXDE does sound right up my alley. [05:46] I've been using xfce for awhile, and kind've like it. It has a nitpick or two. [05:46] clear any progress [05:46] I just gave LXDE a test in case I needed to give someone with an old computer some Linux [05:46] seemed nice enough [05:46] Windows key even opens the menu by default [05:46] * reisio looks at KDE [05:47] yeah, and if you use windows + E it opens "My Computer" haha [05:47] reisi, LXDE reminds me of Windows95/98 [05:47] So, LXDE... Is there a lubutnu-desktop suite that I could use? [05:47] the review of kubuntu 11.10 panned it kind've badly, alas. [05:47] zykotick9: really? [05:47] sanus, you can use a lot of the gnome program suits [05:47] I haven't tried a default install, just Lubuntu [05:47] oh and i have a pc at a relatives house...their pcs gpu would lock up...it was all messethe thing would freeze under windows xp and 11.10 but on 10.10 it wouldntd up [05:47] http://pix2links.com/?v=EfqP3.png [05:47] reisio, (tab fail before) yes [05:47] I'd think so, they have a standard official lubuntu now. [05:47] anyone knows a speech to text app available for linux users? [05:47] it reminded me of... a blue colored ordinary DE [05:47] how do i create a private channel [05:47] Sanus: when i was low on resources i used a lot of kde aps in lubuntu, if i were you and i had a solid machine i'd think about kde as an alternative to gnome [05:48] StepNjump: there's really only Sphinx, AIUI, and DragonNaturallySpeaking in Wine [05:48] how do i create a channel [05:48] Dragon NaturallySpeaking* [05:48] Epsilonultra: /join #foo [05:48] tnx reisio.. Which one is the easiest to install? Are they working or they are just projects? [05:48] why? [05:48] Epsilonultra: http://freenode.net/using_the_network.shtml [05:48] happygolucky: My processor isn't very strong. But I've seen some LX business. I dunno. I just like having two bars, and throwing up other useful bars as I go. :P I am not a fan of Unity [05:49] Epsilonultra: 'foo' is a placeholder, when you join a channel that doesn't exist, it's created [05:49] ty [05:49] ok [05:49] Epsilonultra: and you're given temporary ownership [05:49] StepNjump they're really easy to install, you should look it up on google, it's just a couple commands in the terminal [05:49] What causes Ubuntu to run fsck when it starts up? What check is failing that makes it run fsck? [05:49] happygolucky: Also, kde went kind of slow for me. [05:49] There's some things about Unity that I like, it just isn't there yet. [05:49] StepNjump: they work, but AIUI sphinx is behind dragon naturallyspeaking (which is win32 only, but as I said does run via Wine) [05:49] sanus, agreed, I tried KDE and it was laggy. even switching desktops with one window open it would glitch [05:49] jfcaron, after X many mounts fsck is run automatically (is one possible reason) [05:50] TXR: on what hardware? [05:50] jfcaron: you mean the one it runs every so often as a standard procedure? [05:50] jfcaron: not necessarily any failure [05:50] jfcaron, it will also do it after so much time passing [05:50] ima read up more on the shell on a site thanks guys for all ur help [05:50] reisio, 3.1 Ghz dual core AMD processor Nvidia GTX 260 [05:50] reisio running at 1080p [05:50] Well... I'm gonna try out Lxde. :) [05:50] zykotick9, justice__, reisio, lowkie: Not the scheduled ones, it is doing so because there is an actual problem with a partition, but how does Ubuntu know that there is a problem with one of the partitionsÉ [05:51] Wow. 50 megabytes is all the size is. Wow. [05:51] Sanus: i'd say it's a hair faster than gnome, like i said though, lubuntu is solid and lxde isn't bad.. I actually use only the base install, xorg and icewm on my slow pony :D [05:51] http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purelxde [05:51] Err, sorry, that É was meant to be a ? [05:51] jfcaron: It does it every so many boots just to make sure there aren't any errors slipping in. [05:51] k tnx TXR and reisio... I have ver 9 of Dragon here and is not listed in Wine dB... I will give it a shot what the heck! [05:51] Thanks [05:51] TXR: weird... with the nvidia driver? [05:52] reisio, yeah, it was pretty much crap. gnome 3.2 runs like a dream compared to KDE [05:52] StepNjump: it is listed [05:52] I'll se you all in a little bit. :) [05:52] see* [05:52] reisio, it's just clunky now-a-days [05:52] TXR: that's weird [05:52] I mean KDE does annoy me in various ways, and I don't use it very often [05:52] but it shouldn't be slow on that hardware [05:52] Sorry reisio.. meant to say 9 (esentials) not pro [05:52] justice__: Is there any other reason why it might do the check? I would be suspicious (though it's not impossible) that the scheduled fsck-on-reboot coincided with my power-loss-during-repartitioning. Could it otherwise know about some problem? [05:52] k... [05:53] How do you specify to cron that you want a job to start every two hours but at a specifc hour? [05:53] so it's garbage or silver... we'll see [05:53] jfcaron, which fstype? [05:53] 0 10/2 * * * # This would start at 10am and run every two hours? [05:53] lowkie: ext3 [05:53] Would be nice if we had a software with cloud back processing that could be developped [05:53] mentoc: yes [05:53] mentoc: erm, well you might need to do 02, dunno [05:54] but basically yes [05:54] I avoid software in clouds. I have awful internet. [05:54] reisio, don't I have to do a range like... 0 10-23/2 * * * ?? [05:55] mentoc: no [05:55] let's find some official doc [05:55] jfcaron, I don't' see it documented anywhere…and anytime it happened to me…I did something stupid and caused it [05:56] lowkie: So somehow Ubuntu is knowing that it should do a disk check, but we don't know how it knows it. [05:56] how do i create a channel [05:56] Epsilonultra, /join #epsilonschannel [05:57] jfcaron, I'm sure it has a state check when doing writes…and the state was never cleared… such as http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-force-fsck-on-the-next-reboot-or-boot-sequence/ [05:57] jfcaron, do you have an error that it's reporting? [05:57] oh yeahhhh the #sign [05:58] lowkie: No, unfortunately if I let it go ahead with the fsck, it runs until 70% on "disk 3" and then hangs for the next 5-8 hours until I get impatient and Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, which fills the screen with gibberish before rebooting, starting the process again. [05:58] mentoc: best ask dem ##linux boys [05:58] thanks reisio [05:58] ok, how do i create colored text [05:59] A power failure in the middle of a partitioning sounds like juju of the worst kind to me, honestly. :p [05:59] agreed. [05:59] juju being some kind of slang for not having a UPS [05:59] The speed of the transmission bt [05:59] test [05:59] aww [05:59] sorry [05:59] justice__: It's just a data-storage partition, so nothing functional is broken. A recovery called "testdisk" properly finds the files, I just can't get ubuntu to accept its version of the partition table. [06:00] how do i set text color [06:00] jfcaron, backup and format if you can [06:00] it's witchcraft. you are being cursed for not having a UPS. If it was me i'd try to salvage the data, delete the partition and start again. [06:01] test [06:01] The speed of the transmission bt is too slow, how can I to improve it? [06:01] ??? [06:01] Epsilonultra, IRC doesn't support colours [06:01] install faster seeds [06:02] transmission aka bittorent? [06:02] yes [06:02] ummm [06:02] your text is red [06:02] anyone know how to fix a blank screen after update to natty? [06:02] Epsilonultra, that's YOUR client that does that [06:02] cool [06:03] xchat [06:05] no one has any idea? [06:06] sorry…I only run text systems [06:06] !nomodeset [06:06] A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [06:06] hangingclowns1, ^ is for you [06:06] The speed of the transmission bt is too slow, how can I to improve it? who can help me? Thank you! [06:06] try another bt client [06:07] okay [06:07] I have tried [06:07] it cannot work [06:07] newbie question - what I need to read to know something about start/stop services automatic by startup? I want stop smbd from start from boot. [06:07] more details would be helpfull [06:07] ubottu: and zykotick9: is there a way to change the settings with ssh? [06:08] Modris: edit/rename the /etc/init/smb.conf file i belive [06:08] my ssh server continues to say that it cannot load my rsa public key due to bad permissions and i have chmoded it to 644 so i dont see why there would be a problem how could i get around this? [06:08] i can login with ssh to that machine and do whatever i want, but jsut can't see anyting on there [06:08] hangingclowns1: edit the grub config file. run update-grub, reboot [06:09] is that the grub.cfg? [06:09] dr_willis: ok, i can uncomment smbd.conf. but how simple stop this and after some time simple start without editing smb.cnfg [06:09] or edit the line from the grub menu as a test [06:09] !grub2 [06:09] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [06:09] i can't even get into the grub menu, actually [06:09] you do not edit grub.cfg by hand [06:09] hangingclowns1, see the section "How to permanently set kernel boot options on an installed OS (not wubi)" [06:09] hello, I have upgraded from 10.10 to 11.10 and am having major problems with my graphics and experience, how can I downgrade back to 10.10 w/o full reinstall? [06:10] set menu to always show. i hate when it hides [06:10] hangingclowns1, holding shift down as you boot should give you grub menu [06:10] badbandit: nope [06:10] yes, but here's the problem... [06:10] !downgrade [06:10] Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported and may break your system. [06:10] i can't even get IN to the machine [06:10] ok but upgrading which completely FCKS your system is acceptable? [06:10] so i'd just hold down shift after it boots? [06:10] hangingclowns1: basically.. [06:10] hangingclowns1, after BIOS, before OS [06:11] that will FOR SURE get me in there? [06:11] okay [06:11] i'll try taht [06:11] hangingclowns1: or edit the grub cofig via ssh so grub never hides [06:11] I love ubuntu but honestly what-the-F [06:11] first off the native "display" config in settings does not detect my 2nd monitor [06:11] so I resort to nvidia-settings [06:11] i alwsys do clean installs.. [06:11] badbandit, upgrading is not ubuntu's strong point [06:12] that detects my 2nd monitor, however when I turn it on (its on now) after a few minutes or by certain actions [06:12] i'd do clean installs, but had some stuff on there and its' just a big mess [06:12] the 2nd monitor freezes up [06:12] and both are set as primary I can tell (full icons in both screens) [06:12] but I only set one [06:12] twinview [06:13] and this left-navigation bar, why the hell cant i turn that off [06:13] badbandit, customization is not ubuntu's strong point (anymore) [06:14] lol [06:14] they are fools [06:14] then [06:14] it wasnt broken [06:14] the UI [06:14] was gerat [06:14] badbandit: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:14] great [06:14] rants somewhere else please [06:14] penis [06:14] hangingclowns1: just glanced up at this issue you're having but i for one would recommend keeping a backup of initrd and vmlinuz for your boot loader to load.. sometimes those apt-get upgrades will upgrade the kernel and break the installation [06:14] gnome2 is dead get over it. [06:15] reisio I install dragon naturally speaking under wine. It installed completely but then I don't see it in the installed programs [06:15] happygolucky: yeah, well it's too late for that, now lol [06:15] wine to you reisio [06:15] hangingclowns1: granted [06:15] so I guess I"ll have to edit the file by hand [06:15] StepNjump: theres a wine submenu item. or look in the wine dir. [06:15] will try to go through grub, first, to set that option [06:15] Hi [06:16] My NIC is suddenly listed as 'device not managed' [06:16] ok dr_willis brb [06:16] gnome2 is dead. Unity is a gamble to see if a replacement can be ironed out before 12.04. That still leaves xfce, lxde, kde (though kubuntu 11.10 got panned, apparently), and there's some others out there if you want. [06:16] Daghdha, you have eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces then [06:16] Possibly (checkign) [06:16] badbandit: no need to msg. [06:16] I have WTH1 and ETH2 in there [06:17] what the hell was so bad with gnome, at least UI layout perspective? [06:17] (ETH0 doesn't exist in my machine [06:17] dr_willis: I love you [06:17] wth=eth [06:17] badbandit: the gnome devs killed gnome2 [06:17] how can i fix my ssh server giving me the error of could not load host key [06:17] eth2 works fine though [06:17] is there anyone who has experienced problems with 2 monitors with nvidia cards? [06:18] Daghdha, if ETH# is in /etc/network/interfaces then NetworkManager can't manage it, and you get the "not managed" message [06:18] hi, i have a network problem in my ubuntu, i can browse the internet using a browser but i cannot install apps in terminal. i always get this: 504 Connect to ppa.launchpad.net:80 failed: Connection refused [06:18] please help, tnx! [06:18] zykes-: But eth2 is in there too, and i can manage that. [06:18] VerdeNube: you got some bad entries in your sources sounds like [06:19] Daghdha, ? that doesn't make sense [06:19] dr_willis I found the dir however I click the exe and nothing happens [06:19] dr_willis: ok, let me check my sources.list [06:19] Should I reboot? [06:19] StepNjump: use the cli to laumch it so you can see errors [06:19] i have two nics: eth1 and eth2, they are both in the file you mention. As auto eth1 and auto eth2 [06:20] VerdeNube: or in /etc/sources.list.d/ [06:20] what do you mean dr_willis cli? client?? [06:20] Daghdha, then I don't see why N-M is managing one and not the other. Good luck. [06:20] StepNjump: the terminal.. wine /path/to/the/foo.exe [06:20] What would happen if i clear that file? [06:21] Daghdha, make a backup first! N-M should take over. [06:21] StepNjump: command line interface, cli [06:21] ok [06:21] I had load balancing on it in the past, not using that anyway [06:21] * Daghdha goes for it [06:21] oic dr_willis brb [06:22] dr_willis: i checked my sources.list and it seems ok... [06:22] How long till it will take over zykotick9? [06:22] VerdeNube, PPAs aren't in sources.list [06:23] Daghdha, you need to restart (or restart networking) [06:23] k tnx happygolucky had never heard that before! [06:24] Well this is weird dr_willis.. I cannot cd to /home/pete/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Nuance/NaturallySpeaking9/Program [06:24] zykotick9: how do i add ppa there, before it was working fine [06:24] what's the error? [06:24] It will cd all the way to one level down from Program but can't cd to Program dir === avernos_ is now known as avernos [06:24] VerdeNube, PPAs get added to /etc/sources.list.d/ [06:25] dr_willis: bash: cd: Program: No such file or directory [06:25] VerdeNube, to add PPAs there is the add-ppa (or ppa-add) command of some sort (was introduced with 10.04 but i forget the proper name) [06:25] StepNjump: that word has a space? use a back slash [06:26] Program \Files === Pauluntu is now known as Guest40055 [06:26] dr_willis: this is what i get whenever i run apt-get upgrade: http://pastebin.com/7mshPMsF [06:26] anyone else having problems with skype, my audio is all staticy and the camera isn't working but the camera works on ubuntu cause when i installed it it poped up wanting me to take a picture of myself [06:26] StepNjump, "to deal with spaces"\ either\ use\ double\ quotes\ or\ escape\ the\ spaces (your choice) [06:27] happygolucky happygolucky even if ls Program dir is not there! [06:27] tnx zykotick9 [06:27] zykotick9: this is what i get whenever i run apt-get upgrade: http://pastebin.com/7mshPMsF [06:27] I had the slash in the spot [06:27] no space happygolucky [06:27] *wrong [06:28] What's the proper way to manage which programs run at server startup? === unix is now known as Guest64886 [06:29] VerdeNube, your issue is with http://ppa.launchpad.net/yannubuntu -- there is some ppa-purge program out there to remove them (remember PPAs are unsupported 3rd party programs, no quality control) [06:29] Okay, so, lxde isn't what I'm looking for either. Is there no way to just get the latest Gnome 2.x? [06:29] Sanus, what about MATE? [06:30] As in which scripts from init.d get run at which runlevels? [06:30] !boot | dkog [06:30] dkog: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [06:30] !runlevel | dkog [06:30] dkog: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [06:31] dkog, chkconfig [06:31] Sanus: native gnome2 can only be used with 11.04 and lower. its no longer in development and out of support from the gnome-project [06:31] Go figure [06:31] lowkie: I don't have chkconfig on my system I don't think [06:31] iceroot: How much can you customize gnome 3.2? [06:32] Sanus, not very much LOL [06:32] Sanus: i dont know, i have switched to lxde [06:32] dkog, might be older versions [06:32] Sanus: but there is a gnome2 mode [06:32] !nounity | Sanus [06:32] Sanus: 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 [06:32] Sanus: gnome-panel is maybe what you are looking for [06:33] Sanus, but i tried Gnome3 it sucked, Mint12's version is ok but very redundant, unity is good and can be tweaked with programs like myunity, etc [06:33] iceroot: that info is more kernel-oriented (I think)... I'm looking at what chkconfig typically does I think - adding/removing init scripts from runlevels.... [06:33] dkog: installing and using sysv-rc-conf is a easy approach to handling what goes into use for every runlevel [06:34] There is nothing there by default? [06:34] Will myunity allow me to remove the shitty launcher, keep the File bar in windows, and have two taskbars? [06:34] im not sure how up to date these sysv tools are when it comes to using upstart [06:34] !language [06:34] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [06:35] StepNjump: wine ~/.wine/drive_c/path/to/exe [06:35] dkog: update-rc.d is what comes with it but then you're talking about looking into a barrage of folders for all i think 7 run levels and cherry picking, sysv-rc-conf will expidite things for you [06:35] StepNjump: you can add it to your menu later if it works [06:35] dr_willis: Thank you for not answering my question. [06:35] OK so I should be using Upstart instead? [06:35] So, language aside, any way that I could do those things? [06:35] Sanus: look up how to disable 'global menu' for the menu items [06:36] webupd8 blog site has a large list or tweaks [06:36] of tweaks [06:38] I'm not getting this... Here's a concrete example. I just installed 'redis-server' package. It created an entry i n /etc/init.d/redis-server. How would I enable/disable this on startup? [06:38] good news, i have wireless working [06:38] bad news, its slow as crap [06:38] Hi-WiFive [06:39] dkog: rename foo.conf to foo.dontrun is one way [06:39] dkog, also check if it has an entry in /etc/init/ [06:39] dr_willis, is that safe in init.d? [06:39] It does not have an entry in /etc/init [06:39] dkog, that means it's not using upstart but the old school sysv [06:39] :( chkconfig was so easy, why is everything more complicated now? Feels like steps backwards unless I'm missing something. [06:40] i never mess with the old sysv stuff any more. ;) i just do things the upstart way [06:40] gee, i still can't run apt-get update/upgrade [06:40] verdenube are you running it as root? [06:40] dkog: upstart has been in use for the last 3 releases i think. its amazing so few people have noticed the change [06:40] TXR: no [06:40] reisio or zykotick9 http://paste.ubuntu.com/745616/ I've never seen anything that weird before! [06:40] a [06:41] verdenube, use "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get upgrade [06:41] dkog, can you not use chkconfig? [06:41] So should I just install 'chkconfig' and use that? This package ('redis-server') seems to use the "old" way [06:41] TXR: yup i know, but it wont work. heres what i get: http://pastebin.com/7mshPMsF [06:42] StepNjump: after you type the 'P' in 'Program', hit TAB [06:42] Why 'chkconfig' vs. 'sysv-rc-conf' ? [06:42] StepNjump, check your path again - i don't think it's c: but just c [06:42] that, too [06:42] StepNjump: basically: don't make up paths... use the real paths that exist [06:42] TXR: ping, curl, traceroute, they all wont work, but i can browse using a browser though [06:43] VerdeNube, proxy? [06:43] I found the path in Nautilus then CTRL L then I just copied it and pasted in with CTRL V in CLI [06:43] VerdeNube maybe you need to change your ubuntu ppa locations, you may be able to get better results [06:43] dont get it [06:43] VerdeNube http://askubuntu.com/questions/38123/apt-get-update-failed-to-fetch [06:44] is there an easy way to put icons on desktop I have a program thats not installed it just runs by executing the file but i need to make a desktop link to it [06:44] Oh I get it!!!! [06:44] zykotick9: ok, i will try stop tor and polipo [06:44] Program Files... "Program Files" never mind!!!! oh gosh [06:44] pauluntul, what program are you trying to use? === hydra is now known as Guest22876 [06:45] I resent the multitude ways of managing startup items. [06:45] copy to desktop from /usr/share/applications [06:45] As protest, I will 'apt-get install chkconfig' and do it the basic way. [06:45] Pauluntu1: proper way would be to make a .desktop file for it. or a script, or a soft link [06:46] dkog, ubuntu removed service management a while ago - it still exists in other distros [06:46] TXR, world of warcraft i copied the folder over from my other machine it runs if i double click the exe file but i want a link on my desktop so i dont have to open the folders to get to it. I figure ubuntu would have a program or an easier way to make links without having to do alot of text editing [06:46] Everybody on here is asking about games & desktops, the service management is gone... Am I using the wrong distro for a server? [06:46] load -rs C:\Program Files (x86)\mIRC\gts\gtsdll.ini [06:47] dkog: yes [06:47] Pauluntu1 maybe you can do a link with wine, you are using wine yes? [06:47] TXR, yes [06:47] Why? [06:47] reisio or zykotick9 Ok here is the error reisio was looking for: http://paste.ubuntu.com/745620/ sorry about that... "Program Files" grrrr!!! [06:47] dkog: Ubuntu was not configurated with servers in mind [06:47] Pauluntu1 hmm, I'm not sure, I'm not very familiar with wine. [06:48] dkog: that said, your lack of knowledge about init scripts would be a problem with any distro [06:48] StepNjump, that's a wine specific issue - sorry i don't help with wine stuff (doesn't interest me / i don't use it). Good luck. [06:48] I've used chkconfig extensively in RHEL/CentOS without problems. [06:48] I forget the name of it though :) [06:48] k np zykotick9 tnx ! === barna is now known as bipul [06:49] StepNjump, there is also the wine channel #winehq [06:49] So what kind of problems will I run into using Ubuntu as server? Rackspace Cloud has 11.04 cloud servers. [06:49] dkog: 'service' is probably what you wanted [06:49] reisio: That doesn't change startup status, just starts/stops [06:49] good idea I'll check em out [06:49] dkog: update-rc.d, then [06:50] does update-rc.d manage upstart service3s now? === don is now known as Guest42707 [06:50] Hello there everyone. I have something with groups and file permissions I don't understand. I know that chgrp allows me to assign a group as the group of the file. However, what if I want to give access to two groups?Do I need to put the two groups in a group? [06:50] * reisio shrugs [06:50] Guys... how "safe" and "clean" it is to install latest AMD/ATI Catalyst 11.11 driver in MAverick? The one that ships with it is quite old.. [06:50] dr_willis, i wouldn't think so - but this isn't an upstart service (in this case) [06:51] man, this question from parham was awesome [06:51] MestreLion: it's only a problem if you do an update, it breaks, and you forgot you did it and run around like a chicken with its head cut off [06:52] update as in distro-upgrade? or will it break with regular kernel updates too ? [06:52] MestreLion: you would need to rerun the installer after a kernel update [06:53] humm... [06:53] there may be updated ppa's for newer drivers [06:53] why this isnt necessary with the default FXGLR driver? [06:53] i am hating ubuntu right now [06:54] MestreLion: because the package manager is aware of it [06:54] MestreLion: its done automatically [06:54] there are probably some 3rd party scripts for making it easier to rebuild the driver after a kernel update [06:55] reisio: i have wireless working now, but its extremely slow [06:55] wow, it is the most active channel I know :D [06:55] the installer from Catalyst generates 3 .deb's what i must install myself.. being a deb, doesnt the package manages gets aware of it too? [06:55] for example with Gentoo you'd run your kernel build command && module-rebuild rebuild; but with Gentoo kernel updates are always done manually, so it's slightly different [06:56] MestreLion: it wouldent automatically rebuild them for your current kernel [06:56] MestreLion: deb is a format, the package manager is aware of what's in the repos [06:56] you could create your own repo, of course :D [06:56] you would have to rebuild, and reinstall the updated debs [06:56] but that might take more effort than remembering to reinstall the driver every now and then [06:56] reisio: Gentoo is *very* different from ubuntu.. everything is build from source.. [06:58] dr_willis: humm, thanks... but.. is that done automatically with the default driver for every kernel update? i dont remember any terminal message about flgrx when i do a kernel update (and they are quite frequent in maverick) [06:58] MestreLion: yes bascially it is. [06:58] !info dkms [06:58] dr_willis, would dkms possibly work for MestreLion ? [06:58] dkms (source: dkms): Dynamic Kernel Module Support Framework. In component main, is optional. Version 2.2.0.2-1ubuntu4 (oneiric), package size 70 kB, installed size 456 kB [06:58] lol [06:58] hummm [06:59] What could cause 'sudo apt-get install xxx' to say unable to locate package or has no installation candidate for all packages? [06:59] like vnstat and couchdb [06:59] or anything I try to install now.. Is it possible that got hosed when I added scripts to /etc/init.d? [06:59] if you install the drivers from the compsy web site.. you will eed to reinstall after each new kernel update. but i have no idea how common updates are in the older releases [07:00] so the default driver is somehow configured to "talk" with dkms zykotick9 and dr_willis ? [07:00] bbl [07:00] bbl ? [07:01] when i click the unity panel icon for an open program, it doesnt minimize it. why? [07:01] MestreLion, with ATI i have no idea... but dkms is used with drivers to automatically update, when the kernel is updated. [07:01] as for kernel updates... in maverick is around once a month... a bit more when a new ubuntu version comes out [07:02] MestreLion: there's emerge for a lot of things [07:02] I got almost everything I want installed on this server, and now somehow apt-get won't work at all [07:03] wow zykotick9 and dr_willis , thanks! yes, dkms indeed has a lot of stuff regarding fglrx and vboxhost :D [07:04] runvnc: good times [07:04] runvnc: is that a play on dmc? :D [07:04] "dkms status" shows several flgrx lines... so my current catalyst is already "linked" (not sure what would the proper term be) to dkms. [07:04] yeah.. its not good times this is the second time in two days I basically have to start over building the server [07:04] although I am not starting over I am going to figure out wtf happened to my apt [07:06] runvnc: any regrets? [07:07] shift key does not let me into the grub menu === tum is now known as Guest45561 [07:07] hangingclowns1, are you using grub2? [07:07] ok, so the question now is... does the .DEB packages generated by the new Catalyst installer be already "linked' to dkms ? [07:08] hangingclowns1, i think it was ESC maybe for grub1 (aka legacy) [07:08] hello, How can I give a user permission to open my windows drives by clicking their icon in places menu? [07:08] if not, how can i set it to behave just like the current driver? [07:09] Does anyone know if there's a PPA for RabbitMQ 2.4 on Natty? [07:09] hello, How can I give a user permission to open my windows drives by clicking their icon in places menu? I can open it with my account. But when anyother user try to open it from their account. they can not. It asks for my password === Gskellig is now known as radestpanda === radestpanda is now known as Gskellig [07:10] I used this http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/generate.php [07:11] I had jacked up my sources.list apparently somehow [07:11] this is weird some how i lost my snapshot app and i cant even find it in software center. what happened? [07:12] anyone know how to solve this, got the monitor to boot up with editing the grub menu, but it's showing a black screen with some text [07:12] read that "some text" ;) [07:12] That's probably normal unless the text is like "You're going to die." [07:13] gardar, do you mean gnome-screenshot? or something else? [07:13] we nhfjojsusss [07:13] ohkeie [07:13] loele [07:14] it was an app already installed in ubuntu pretty sure it was called snapshot but no sure. [07:14] garden92, try running "gnome-screenshot" [07:15] nevermind im dumb. it was screenshot found it [07:15] this time rememeber the name in case you continue to use the app ;) [07:15] hello, I try to use this command in lftp "open ftp://user/name:password@example.com", which 'user/name' is my ftp account name and can't be changed. this give out an error "Name or service not known", how to resolve it [07:16] lxyu, is there really a "/" in your username? [07:16] zykotick9: yes [07:16] lxyu: why doing that? [07:17] in lftp, I use "user user/name" and input password, I can success. [07:17] lxyu: that should break everything [07:17] iceroot: the service provider do it..

Got the LAMP setup all going on my laptop (test server)... I installed wordpress and everything just fine locally.

[07:24] lxyu: ok [07:24] reisio: The root of the web server. :) [07:24] which means the 'user/name' is the username.. [07:24] A|i3N: unless you set up virtual hosts, you need wordpress' index.php to be where that index.html was [07:24] lxyu: but beat him or better, change the provider [07:24] yes, it was [07:24] how to display multiple folder in ubuntu 11.10 [07:24] ?? [07:24] lxyu: a provider which is giving such names is a very bad provider [07:24] A|i3N: what was what? [07:24] is there anybody here who is on oneric amd64, and uses aptitude - I'm getting doubled up packages - I'm guessing it's 64bit and 32bit (seems both are downloaded into /var/lib/apt/lists/ ) [07:25] iceroot: I'll try contact the provider then.. [07:25] reisio: It was in the same spot. I deleted the index.html, but it still shows up. [07:25] yes i got it [07:25] A|i3N: press "ctrl + f5" in your browser [07:26] frogonwheels, it's called multiarch - it's new in Debian as well (still only in "testing") [07:26] iceroot: I even do localhost/index.php and it simply will not show the wordpress site. Nope same thing. It did this on another computer too. I'm not configuring something right that I'm supposed to be configuring after the lamp install apparently. [07:26] er sorry reisio lol [07:26] zykotick9: ok. so aptitude needs some serious work then. fairy nuff. [07:27] A|i3N: look at /var/log/apache2/access.log where apache is searching for that file [07:27] er wait yea. I'm getting my nics confused LOL [07:27] ok [07:27] zykotick9: I mean it makes a bunch of sense .. and it's rather cool and all that. but it breaks aptitude :( Thanks for the confirmation. [07:27] stupid regionset didnt go through for some reason lol [07:28] thanks though!.. goodnite everyone.. happy thanksgiving [07:28] frogonwheels, thus far - from what i've seen here, it doesn't live up to my hope.

[07:29] frogonwheels, won't help you (different distro), but i'm a big aptitude person now [07:29] my bad. bottom of log. Sorry, sleepy. [07:30] zykotick9: I've been using aptitude since. um. well. a long time. [07:30] frogonwheels, when i used ubuntu - i was all about apt-get, now i've seen the light ;) [07:30] zykotick9: at least 10 years [07:30] Hi people. Anyone knows how itunes is supposed to look like and work ?? Ive installed wine in the 11.10 - gnome session and with itunes. It seems like its actually working. Sure the close and minimize buttons are missing and it seems like the functions to burn discs are also not working. But can anyone confirm if everything else is working ??

[07:32] A|i3N: use localhost/index-foo.php and see the apache-error log where apache is searching [07:32] Kriss_, finding a gnu/linux native player will probably work out better in the long run. [07:32] zykotick9: I like using whatever is quickest. Sometimes that's a good cli, sometimes it's a UI. aptitude and it's dependency figuring out won me over pretty quickly. [07:32] frogonwheels, same here [07:33] frogonwheels, the first time i answered "n" got a different option - that i wanted, I was sold for life ;) [07:33] cablop: its enabled by default [07:33] Zykotick9 Absolutely. I despise apple anyway. especially their OS.. but thats a whole other story. However only itunes has the itune store and capability to sync iphones and that for those who uses that. I just wondered if that stuff works in 11.10 with latest itunes version for windows ? [07:33] since i cant test that myself [07:34] Kriss_: its not working with wine [07:34] !ipod | Kriss_ [07:34] Kriss_: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [07:34] Kriss_, i doubt your ipod/iphone will work [07:34] iceroot: [Tue Nov 22 00:32:49 2011] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] script '/var/www/index-foo.php' not found or unable to stat [07:34] Kriss_: dont use apple-stuff is the best fix [07:34] Kriss_, with iTunes i mean [07:34] iceroot: nope, i had to run sudo a2enmod ssl, hard to find that thing, but in the other hand you are halfright it is installed by default [07:34] A|i3N: and what is in /var/www/index.php? [07:35] A|i3N: also remeber, the apache site says "its working" is not a php file its html [07:35] iceroot i couldnt agree more.. however im the companys computer guy here and many teachers and leaders seems to love their iphones (sigh) so... if its got electronics.. the computer guy can fix it.. [07:35] A|i3N: so there should be /var/www/index.html which contains it works [07:35] Kriss_: i never cared about apple-users, thats the best i can do [07:35] just wondered how much works with itunes in wine.

[07:36] wass up! [07:36] Kriss_: as i said, the best fix is not supporting apple-products [07:37] iceroot yeah i looked at that but it only shows itunes in 10.10 and supprising enough in 11.10 it seems to install and run quite well [07:37] Sanus: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop at installation you are asked if you want kdm or gdm/lightdm (use gdm/lightdm) [07:37] Iceroot: ok I think my computer is possessed. I Just looked again - I deleted the index.html file out of there earlier (yes, using sudo rm) and it seems it somehow came back lol, should have double checked before I asked I guess lol thank you though it is working now [07:37] but sadly i dont have any choice.. i gotta support whatever the managment buys.. [07:37] How do you set global or system wide env variables? [07:37] @ iceroot Thank you [07:37] A|i3N: great [07:37] Kriss_: that is always the problem :( [07:38] Kriss_: but what i heards only gtkpod can sync [07:38] iceroot oh yeah. Well at least i made a really sweet costum 11.10 that looks very much like the old gnome BUT also has full support for domain use. [07:38] iceroot. nice.. ill look into that. === flack-Z is now known as flack [07:40] you know how ctrl+alt+(arrow up/down/left/right) switch workspaces? i was wondering what if you could set a workspace to login a diff user. i wanna have it so 1,2,3 are my regular user with 4th being root [07:40] brianpWins, have a look at /etc/profile and accompanying /etc/profile.d/ [07:40] ewp: dont use the gui as root [07:41] zykotick9: thanks! [07:41] ewp: and that will only work with separate x-servers running on two screens but dont use the gui as root! [07:41] ewp, you can't even have other regular users tied to workspaces like that [07:41] dang it was a neat idea [07:41] ewp: sorry but that is a stupid idea [07:42] ewp: never ever in your whole life run the gui as root [07:42] what could possibly be wrong?...when i did sudo apt-get update..i was asked for the pword..so i gave it and was able to update via terminal..but when i went to administration->update manager ..i saw some updates again, when i tried to install, it asks root pword...so i typed the same pword from sudo thing...but this time it got rejected..why?! [07:42] iceroot: gksudo is acceptable though right ? [07:43] yeah. i somtimes have to have a nautilius as root so i start one up from terminal. but in general dont use root unless i have to [07:43] sattu94: that is different to run gdm as root [07:43] I recently did a n instal of 10.4. how can I check to see if it was 32 or 64 bit?

How can I ever figure out how to configure this so that the nvidia driver is enabled for the nvidia card? (http://pastebin.com/MtJTcMsy) [07:59] Right now I cant access nvidia settings because nvidia is not configured for anything in xorg.conf, and if I do configure x with nvidia-xconfig i'll be unable to boot (stuck at "checking battery state" [08:00] Hello [08:00] Stava: can't you just disable the intel one in the bios? [08:01] TehDGM: I dont know, but I've so far assumed that intel is for the laptops display, and nvidia for external monitors? [08:02] My Ubuntu speaks french but i would like to launch rapidsvn in english. So in the terminal I type "export -LANG=C" ok, then "rapidsvn &" but rapidsvn is still french and i got error messages (translated frome french) : "Gtk-warning : theme engine not found in module_path : pixmap".

(btw i dont always have internet access) ? [08:12] anything on the cd may be outdated so fast you may never need the cd. [08:12] dr_willis: is this a known bug? cause i just connected this fresh install to the net (and did the updates). [08:12] if the 2 lines were not identical.. then i doubt if they were the issue. [08:12] http://alexsleat.co.uk/2011/10/18/ubuntu-requires-cd-for-software-installs-and-updates/ [08:13] its not a critical error anyway. just a warning of a redundant entry [08:13] bizzare bug [08:13] ok [08:13] i never use the cd afert i install [08:13] i was concerned it wasnt updating properly [08:13] its just a warning i belive [08:17] pangolin, yes thanks i think thats it [08:17] Hello, "export LANG=en_US" gives me rapidsvn in english, fine, but radpisvn displays a warning : "cannot set locale to . ". Can I do better and avoid this warning ? I tried also "export LANG=en_US.utf8" and "UTF8" and "UTF-8" but they all lead to rapidsvn in french (the main ubuntu locale). [08:19] JLuc, i'd guess you're looking for LANG=C [08:20] i've tried LANG=C but it keeps in french since french is my default and i have read C leads to default langage, doesnt it ? [08:20] pangolin, what is the command to determine what wireless card is in this thing [08:20] hi I am having issue geting my drives to spin down with hdparm.conf any one have any ideas why spindown_time seams to be ignored? [08:20] sorry. i've tried LANG=C zykotick9 but it keeps in french since french is my default and i have read C leads to default langage, doesnt it ? [08:21] JLuc, i was under the obviously incorrect assumption that C defaulted to english [08:22] JLuc, this is the "localized error" factoid from #debian: Rather than hoping that we recognise what has gone wrong from the error messages in your native language, please provide any error messages in English. You can do this by setting your locale to an English one (e.g. C) prior to running the command, e.g. LC_ALL=C apt-get -f install === easr is now known as ks [08:24] zykotick9 that program is awesome! thank you VERY much :) [08:24] Sterist, glad to help [08:25] ok i guess i frist need to uninstall rapidsvn zykotick [08:25] 9 [08:28] Hello, how do I change the interface language before I login (ie at Unity greeter) ? [08:29] i've done so and it is the same : when i launch rapidsvn from the same terminal session it is in english with the "cannot set locale to '.'"' error displayed once, and when i launch from Unity it is in french zykotick9 [08:30] Well, i can maybe live with that error if it does not creates more problems [08:31] JLuc, i don't have any suggestions. Good luck. [08:31] ok thx. [08:31] What is the difference between "export lang=..." and LC_ALL= ? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [08:35] JLuc, i believe the "export lang=.." is more common (i've seen it used more anyways) then the LC=ALL... but I have no idea on the "real" difference [08:35] i will do a script will both ! [08:36] Hello, how do I change the interface language before I login (ie at Unity greeter) ? [08:36] Hi I am piping the results of find into a text file however when I view it after it is all in one long line, how do i prevent this? [08:37] AnAnt, you might want to look through this bug to see if you find anything useful https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/803858 [08:37] Launchpad bug 803858 in lightdm (Ubuntu) "No language chooser on login screen in LightDM" [Wishlist,Fix released] === Speedx is now known as SpeedX [08:37] lightdm is light on some features [08:38] ie find * > text.txt (it then shows up as a long line with no newlines is there a simple way to make it add a newline after each result?) [08:38] where should i best store a homemade little .sh script ? [08:38] zykotick9 testdisk wants to run as sudo but permissions are denied to delete the files i've recovered so far. should i used gksudo against it's wishes? [08:38] smokeycastle: that is sayiing find all files in the current dir. the * is expanded by the shell befor find sees it [08:39] smokeycastle: similer to 'echo *' [08:39] smokeycastle, i'm not seeing your all on one line behaviour? [08:39] JLuc: in your users /home/username/bin dir [08:39] Sterist, is it a GUI app? I remember is at CLI. [08:40] it looks fine in vi, but doesnt show up properly in notepad? [08:40] zykotick9 whats CLI? [08:40] command line interface = terminal [08:40] smokeycastle: notepad in windows? [08:40] zykotick9 nevermind lol self explanitory [08:40] yea [08:40] zykotick9 yes CLI [08:40] dr_willis, good catch [08:40] smokeycastle: you should have said that eralier ;) [08:41] but the machine that is making the code is my ubuntu fileserver? [08:41] Sterist, sudo for cli, gksudo/gksu for GUI [08:41] smokeycastle: dos uses a cr & lf to end a line. unix uses just a cr [08:41] ie i am making a file in linux that shows all the files under a directory, then viewing it in windows and it looks wrong? [08:41] smokeycastle: use vi in windows. or convert the file. [08:41] ah thanks dr_willis [08:41] smokeycastle: its all about how windows handles line ending [08:42] is there a quick way to add that when I originally generate the file? [08:42] smokeycastle: been an annoyance since dos 1.x days [08:42] zykotick9 it's not letting me remove files that were backed up thru it though, am i going to have to punt w/ sudo deleting? [08:42] dos2unix to convert i think [08:43] dr_willis, i was just trying to find the new name of dos2unix - 2frodos or something? [08:43] eww, maybe a find/replace? [08:43] 100+ ways to convert the things [08:43] search for cr, replace with cr and lf [08:43] Sterist, sorry, i'm not sure [08:43] zykotick9: yes somthing weird like that [08:43] fro2dos ? [08:45] dr_willis i've seen you around a while, maybe you'd know :) a FS recovery app runs as sudo and is owning all files backed up thru it. do you know of a solution? [08:45] dr_willis, looks like debian still uses dos2unix - so i can't easily check :( [08:45] editing a perl, or bash, or whatever script in notepad and then trying to rn it on linux.. gives even weirder cr/lf issues ;0 [08:45] so use vim on windows. ;) [08:45] Sterist, so the files are owned by root:root? is that the issue? [08:46] the editor fte can show cr/lf's also i recall [08:46] zykotick9 that is correct [08:46] Sterist, then use sudo to delete/move/manipulate them then [08:47] On 11.10, how do I change the font size in unity?

Anyone know a command prompt that will list all the current keybindings? [09:33] deej1976, thanks [09:34] StepNjump, i thought you where looking for time and login/off? [09:34] crizzy: is xfce better than lxde in your opinion ? [09:34] hiexpo: It was resolved by the end of page two, just be carefully typing the commands [09:34] !ot jita_: [09:34] yes I am zykotick9 [09:34] !ot| jita_ [09:34] jita_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [09:34] jita_: personally i think both are poop :) xfce is "ok" but i'm really not into those retro environments. unity > kde > gnome-shell [09:34] StepNjump, so, somewhere in Add to Panel those are there [09:35] ok let me check again [09:35] StepNjump, you need to look "past" the names, try some odd ones [09:36] Well the notification area is there but when I click add it doesn't [09:36] crizzy: ok i am gonna give kde a try, thanks for the tip [09:40] crizzy: kde has more complicated UI than unity ? [09:40] Morning. When trying to boot a server i moved from OpenVZ to KVM, it hangs right after "Settings console screen modes and fonts". If i press enter, it keeps booting and works fine. Tihs is 10.4. Does anyone have an idea of where to start debugging? [09:42] jita_: configuring it might be a bit messy (but at least possible), but otherwise it's pretty simple. you got panel, start menu with search and a desktop :P [09:42] zykotick9 yes you were exactly right! [09:42] nardul: sounds weird. I might look at the logs and try too boot it with no framebuffer, but i have no real clue what is going on there .. [09:42] crizzy: and do you recommend kubuntu or opensuse for kde4 ? [09:42] susundberg: Neither do i. How do i disable the framebuffer? [09:42] jita_: enough, this channel is ubuntu support [09:43] ikonia: ok [09:43] StepNjump, what was it called? [09:43] Indicator applet complete [09:43] i need a god alternative to tortoisesvn on linux [09:43] *good [09:43] nardul: kernel boot parameters, i do not unfortunately recall what was the name. I am sure you can google it [09:43] StepNjump, totally obvious.... NOT. Glad you got it. [09:43] cablop, i would go with the command line [09:43] ;) [09:44] tnx zykotick9 [09:44] cablop: kdesvn is also fine if you want to avoid command line and you are using kde [09:44] i am on gnome, does kdesvn run on gnome? [09:45] aeplus, thanks, but sorry cli is not an alternative to tortoisesvn [09:45] cablop: i guess but it requires tons of libraries, i would try something else [09:45] !text | nardul [09:45] nardul: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [09:45] cablop: you might want to check out esvn, svnkit [09:46] cablop: (or search package manager for others) [09:46] susundberg: right, but i'll consider it, in fact i am still testing that gnome3 and thinking to move to kde if that thing is not going to suit my needs [09:47] cablop: rapidsvn, and nautuilas have extensions for svn [09:48] deej1976: yep, but the nautilus of the gnome 3 seems to make those extensions broken [09:48] ubottu: Thank you. [09:48] cablop: Ok, I've not tried them recently [09:48] but looking at rapidsvn now :) deej1976 [09:48] It looks like the framebuffer isn't stopping. [09:49] Rabbitsvn works relatively well, if you do not want to do anything more complicated than checkout, commit and branch. Merge do not work very well. But it's the best I tested, but I have gone back to cli..... Hopefully it will be better in the future. [09:50] sixps: the problen is rabbitsvn seems to be broken on gnome3, in fact is is not appearing in the context menu [09:50] deej1976: Doesn't do anything. Some kind of framebuffer still starts and hangs until i press enter. [09:50] i used it with the previous gnome, and i liked it enough [09:51] Can one in any way install themes on Ubuntu now? I prefer dark background in my windows. [09:52] tasslehoff: to be sincere i ried both manually and using a repo... and it seems to keep ignoring whatever you do, it seems it is some sort of obscure setting in the gnome reg-like thing [09:52] nardul: Sorry to hear, I've got no experience with OpenVZ or KVM. [09:52] deej1976: Lucky bastard :) [09:53] hi all, can someone help me with a coomand line, i want to search a folder with php file, i want lsted the files that contain inside a search term, thx [09:53] ok good night [09:53] simion314: find / -name *.php [09:53] where "/" is the start of the search [09:54] if you want to exclude all "Permission Denied errors" than "find / -name *.php 2>/dev/null" [09:54] zabomber: thx , i will try it, and name is my search term? === void_ is now known as someone-noone [09:54] which application can I use to find dead symbolic links? [09:55] simion314: no. name is for name of file.. the *.php is the search term [09:55] all files with .php extension for example [09:55] deej1976: Disabling plymouth fixed it. Weird stuff. [09:55] simion314: find / -nowarn -name *.php | xargs grep search-term [09:56] LOL [09:56] nardul: Well done [09:56] esvn and rapidsvn are pretty abandoned projects [09:56] zabomber: no, i am searching other stuff, i have like 50 files in a folder, i need to know what file include "iSDk.php" so i need to find inside the file and also all the files are in the same folder [09:56] simion314: grep iSDk.php * [09:57] llutz: thx [09:57] simion314: grep iSDK.php * [09:57] grep is powerful [09:57] manpage it [09:58] cablop: ah. too bad [09:58] (the theme thing) [10:03] cablop: Bazaar VCS has svn plugin [10:03] deej1976: nice! [10:03] cablop: and SVN Workbench, both in Software Centre [10:06] damn gnome3 is a bad joke, it is a pita [10:06] Lo where can I find out the possible characters allowed in a linux/unix password? === Vyas is now known as VyasKadkol [10:08] I have a HP netbook with buttons integrated into the trackpad, I've tried multiple ways to sort it but can't find a way to disable tapping, use my left and right click buttons AND have 2 finger scroll, any ideas? [10:09] Reikoku: define 'tapping' === enchilad1 is now known as enchilado [10:09] vibhav: Click without physically depressing the mouse button, I don't want it, it often screws up dragging or browsing [10:10] I'll donate $5 to Ubuntu if anyone gets my trackpad working properly [10:10] Reikoku: a good start is giving the FULL model [10:10] Reikoku: HP make LOADS of systems [10:10] ActionParsnip: DM1-3200SA [10:11] They all have much the same touchpad, recently [10:11] Reikoku: it still needs clarifying, it helps a lot [10:12] Reikoku: You mean double tapping the touchpad? [10:12] besides KDE... what are the guys disliking gnome3 and unity using now? [10:12] !ot | cablop [10:12] cablop: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [10:14] why ot, deej1976?... i am looking for an alternative to use ON UBUNTU to those shells [10:14] Basically, I've used the default settings where I got two finger scroll but no right click (it's an area of the trackpad and I have no idea how to set it up), and it had tapping on (clicking without depressing the touchpad) which I hate. I've tried editing modprobe.d/mouse to use 'options psmouse proto=exps' which makes right click work, but no two finger scroll and tapping is still on. I need left [10:14] click, right click, no tapping and two finger scroll, if I get all of this I will donate $5 to Canonical or the charity of your choice that takes PayPal or Bitcoin. Netbook is a HP Pavilion dm1-3200sa [10:14] Reikoku: under "Mouse and Touchpad" there is the Touchpad tab where you can disable touchpad tap to click, is that what you mean [10:14] cablop: no, you're asking what people like - the alternatives are out there ubuntu gnome/unity xfce, kde, lxde [10:14] cablop: research and find out what you like [10:14] cablop: which interface is really ot, as it's really a matter of personal opinion [10:15] cablop: gnome3 is fine [10:15] cablop: e17 :3 [10:15] cablop: LXDE :) [10:15] cablop: xfce [10:15] did you just not read what I said [10:15] !poll [10:15] ActionParsnip: See above wall of text [10:15] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [10:16] Reiso you want the tap to work and it doesn't at the moment? [10:16] ActionParsnip: i seet that gnpome3 is full of some bad bugs [10:16] Reikoku: Use Synaptiks , it has more options [10:16] ActionParsnip: I want to have two finger scroll, right and left click, and option to turn tapping off. [10:16] cablop: its young is all I can think of [10:16] vibhav: What do I need to download for that? [10:17] Reikoku: are there any bugs reported? [10:17] one, for example, if you are moving files, and clic on the nautilus window, then the files transfer windows gfoes behind the main one and you have no way to get it to the frnt, except to resize move the main out of the way, that is stupid [10:17] cablop: gnome3 isn't really buggy, it's just a rushed release so under-featured [10:17] ActionParsnip: Not that I know of [10:17] Reikoku: sudo apt-get install kde-config-touchpad [10:17] Reikoku: I suggest you check. Also install qsynaptics and see if there are options there [10:18] Reikoku: remove any previously installed version of synaptiks 0.4 or earlier first (if any) [10:18] Reikoku: what is e17? enlightenment? afaik it was just a plugin, do you say it is a whole shell? [10:18] Which you will not likely hae [10:18] Reikoku: ar eyou using kde ? [10:18] cablop: Enlightenment DR17 is a full DE [10:18] ikonia: No, I use unity [10:18] cablop: Are you looking for an old school gnome like DE? [10:20] when will kde 5 be released? [10:20] robertzaccour: try asking in #kde [10:20] robertzaccour: Probably when QT5 is released [10:21] robertzaccour: +1 for asking in #kde [10:21] vibhav yes... and no, i just need something easy to use, and not buggy or with design flaws... gnome3 is going to kill my left arm, it is the second contributor to RSI, just behind the overlay scrolls [10:22] robertzaccour: http://aseigo.blogspot.com/2011/05/relax.html [10:23] me [10:23] oops [10:24] ikonia: Why do you ask which DE I'm using? I use Unity on the netbook, e17 on most of my other machines but many of them aren't Ubuntu [10:25] Reikoku: just some software that was recommended to you was not designed for gnome-unity and wanted to make sure you didn't rush in installing it without understanding it would pull in a large amount of KDE [10:25] Are there any tablets running Ubuntu? Unity seems like it would work really well on a tablet [10:25] ikonia: I already have all the qt4 packages installed, so don't mind the bloat as long as it's likely to do what I want it to [10:26] Reikoku: that's fine then, I just wanted you to be aware of what would happen === root is now known as Guest55362 [10:26] Reikoku: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MErL7FslBjU [10:27] Reikoku: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/06/ekoore-announce-two-new-tablets-running-ubuntu-11-04/ [10:27] ammm e17 seems to be on development, but seems very promising promisory... whatever xD [10:27] cablop: it's been on development for 10+ years [10:27] eubuntu [10:27] cablop: It's in perma development :P [10:28] lol, what i mean is the current release is e16, and e17 is not the stable or final or rc or whatever [10:28] cablop: Yes, it's been that way for years [10:29] :( [10:29] nothing that motivating [10:29] cablop: I would call it pretty stable, but it's not officially stable. Having said that, I run Firefox Aurora and git build kernels so take my stability recommendations with a pinch of salt. :P [10:29] arg... upgraded to the new kernel and now the dm won't load stating a drive mapping error... anyone got the same? not at teh machine now so just wondering for now. will look into fixing this evening. [10:30] l33tch: which kernel [10:31] 3.0.13 or nearby as far as I remember.. will get into it more this evening, but wanted to see if anyone else had the issue first [10:31] l33tch: where did you get it ? [10:31] the normal update tool popped up with it recommended [10:32] hi === joo is now known as Guest30994 [10:33] i really need to set it up for ssh so I can work on it from here (while not in x) [10:33] l33tch: hold shift at boot, can you boot the older kernel ok?

[10:34] msg nickserv register [10:34] jesus [10:34] kill / [10:34] will try that, thank you... can't try now, though... only in 8 hours or so... [10:35] cablop: Production [10:35] Zeakd: i'd do that outside of any channel [10:35] I can log into a terminal though, but refuses to start lightdm [10:35] hmm, i would give it a try then [10:35] cablop: If you want something more gnome2 like, I'd suggest xfce4 though [10:37] hey guys i am running quassel in ubuntu and i wanna this command everytime: quassel -c /home/DATA/Standalone/Quassel/config [10:37] how do i set that in this shortcut http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25501373/ZScreen/2011-11/Screenshot%20at%202011-11-22%2013%3A12%3A40.png [10:37] anyone wanna tell me why my email is not valid for registering [10:38] Reikoku: thanks for the tips :) [10:38] mcored: Launch the application, then right click and keep in launcher [10:38] Reikoku: i think i can use it with AWN and make it works nice [10:38] mcored: gksudo gedit /usr/share/applications/quassel.desktop add the options to the 'Exec=' line [10:38] thank you ActionParsnipt thats exactly what i wanted! [10:40] Hi. I just updated a server from Lucid to Oneiric (with all the steps in between). Now it refuses to boot. I tried to find any hint in the recovery mode console output, but I don't see any reason. Also the Natty kernel doesn't boot. I could use some idea how to get the server back up again. [10:41] let me test [10:42] should be like this ActionParsnip http://img6.imagebanana.com/img/nfoxqum6/quassel.desktopusrshareapplicationsg.png right :) [10:42] hi, did anyone here get remastersys to work properly on ubuntu 11.10? [10:43] mcored: no, the file should have a LOT of text in already [10:43] oh crap thats what i thought; but it was empty [10:43] mcored: I suggest you type: gksudo gedit /usr/share/applications/q then hit tab a few times, see what autocorrects [10:44] mcored: it could also be in a subdir [10:44] Hi, I have a problem with youtube video playback. The issue persists with all web-browsers in both flash and HTML 5 mode. My system cannot play 720p and 1080p at all as the framerate is too low. On Windows Vista 1080p works fine. System specs http://paste.ubuntu.com/745777/ [10:44] and if you don't want to edit your system desktop file you can override it in ~/.local/share/applications/ [10:45] GirlyGirl: different OSes have different support so things will act differently, some things are better, some can be worse [10:46] ActionParsnip: I am aware but the reason I asked is in case there is a possible solution [10:47] GirlyGirl: can you give the output of: uname -a; lsb_release -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark' [10:47] thanks Vir it seems like that quassel.desktop was the only one and there is no subdir [10:47] let me quit and try [10:49] ActionParsnip: Let me reboot first, I'm on vista [10:51] software to play windows games, wine or cedega? :S [10:52] m3kk: playonlinux or cegeda [10:53] ActionParsnip: Which command again? [10:53] m3kk: cedega and crossoveroffice are not free in any way [10:53] GirlyGirl_: uname -a; lsb_release -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark' [10:55] hello [10:55] ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/745784/ [10:55] Is it possible to have the 3.0 kernel on maverick? [10:55] backports, ppa? [10:56] you know kernel 3.0 didnt really change anything right? [10:56] there's some module for a card reader that wasn't available previously [10:57] cousin_luigi: Besides why are you still using maverick? [10:57] GirlyGirl_: staying away from unity and the likes [10:57] GirlyGirl_: it's not me, personally anyway [10:59] So, what did 11.10 do to Logitech webcam video quality? [10:59] It's suddenly all grainy. [10:59] Quality was good in 11.04. [11:02] does anyone know a good command line way to convert a .asf movie file? [11:04] ffmpeg, mencoder [11:05] more information: so the 2.6.32 kernel still boots, 2.6.38 hangs and 3.0 also hangs. While doing the upgrades Lucid, Maverick, and Natty all booted fine. Only after the upgrade to Oneiric did the 2.6.38 kernel start to hang at boot. [11:05] This doesn't make any sense to me. What changed between Natty and Oneiric that could lead to this? [11:06] guys I messed up something with probably my dhcp client and each time I connect to a new network, my resolv.conf is updated to nameserver 127.0.01 and Not to network dns ip [11:06] Vir; what type your VGA card ? [11:06] anyone know how to set it right ? [11:06] Never mind, figured out my clickpad by myself, found a PPA [11:06] Gondrong-Ndezo: why? it's a Matrox chip for the BMC [11:06] Vir: what phase your kernel hang ? after grub ? [11:07] Gondrong-Ndezo: the recovery mode shows that mount of /dev/sda3 just happened [11:07] then the output stops [11:07] in non-recovery mode it only prints "Starting up..." [11:08] Vir: i would try a fresh install. youve done 3 upgrades already [11:08] Gentoo64: if it were easy I'd do that [11:08] Hi, is there any WYSIWYG web creation program on Ubuntu? [11:08] I'm 200 km away from that machine [11:09] Vir: can you boot it on single mode ? [11:10] Gondrong-Ndezo: not with the 3.0 or 2.6.38 kernels. The 2.6.32 kernel boots in both single and multi [11:10] hi, I just tried to install Pootle, but apparently the package is broken, is there something I am doing wrong? http://paste.kde.org/149366/ [11:10] sx [11:10] Gondrong-Ndezo: though it takes a very long time to come up because it says something about network configuration problems [11:10] Hi, is there any WYSIWYG web creation program on Ubuntu?

My resolv.conf file is overwritten by resovconf [11:16] Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8) [11:17] How do I install sun (oracle) java as opposed to the openjdk [11:17] ? [11:18] !java [11:18] To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [11:19] cam some1 tell me how to change my user account password ?

[11:23] test [11:24] hmm [11:24] ok problem solved thank you ! fyi I just configured resolvconf by editing my /etc/resolvconf/resolvconf.d/ files [11:24] A_J, the other de's [11:24] learn to use unity or gnome shell [11:24] http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2011/09/11/install-the-classic-desktop-in-ubuntu-11-10/ [11:25] A_J: Use XFCE4 if you want something like old gnome [11:25] Or try out the xubuntu desktop which uses XFCE [11:25] dr_willis i used to use ubuntu classic, but the classic desktop has ugly black bars [11:25] hey guys the only thing keeping me from ubuntu is mythbuntu [11:25] i have googled somebit but i couild not get some real answers, i need to set nolapic noapic at bootparameters to get my ubuntu to boot. Is this somehow decreasing my performance? because im not experiencing my ubuntu very fast. im using an i7 with gtx 460, win7 installation on ssd disk and ubuntu on sepetate hdd [11:26] they should just remove the classic and fallback desktops. they just cause mire issues [11:26] m3kk, it wont reduce performance [11:26] Gentoo64, thank you. then i know something else is up [11:26] Aliv3: that did not make sense [11:26] i want to watch tv on it! it doesnt work [11:27] Anyone know why the latest version of wine isn't in "ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa" yet? [11:27] dr_willis, you can chose what desktop you want at login, i belive standard gnome is there to? isnt it? [11:27] m3jwhy did you need to set those ay boot? [11:27] well i just finished downloading twilight in 720p [11:27] What's the easiest way to prevent cron from starting a script if it hasn't finished from the last time? [11:27] m3kk, it's removed in 11.10 but can be added again [11:27] m3kk: standard gnome is gnome3 with gnome shell these days [11:28] Gentoo64, is there something is should do about it, i mean is noapic nolapic just a temporary solution and i can do something about it or its ok with those paramenters? [11:28] aw man its like insaqnely wide screen [11:28] dr_willis, does gnome3 come with the new 11.10 at login? [11:28] m3kk, i dont even know what the prlbme your having is :) [11:28] Aliv3, big black bars? [11:29] Gentoo64, .. actually neither do i lol [11:29] anyways, i have win7 on same computer dualboot but i like ubuntu, normally i use windows media center; Gentoo64: no im watching in windows media player windowed atm [11:29] lol [11:29] m3kk, so why set them boot paremeters? [11:30] m3kk, a temporary solution to what? [11:30] whats a good picture paste bin [11:30] postimage [11:30] ubuntu live cd can't recognize my sound card. What can i do? [11:30] imageur [11:30] imgur imageshack [11:30] etc [11:30] imo postimage is the fastest [11:31] by far [11:31] Gentoo64, well it wont boot without the boot paramenters...so something must be up? and sometimes its taking very long time to open stuff like places and folders like the "picture" folder althou its empty. i so tought maybe it has something to do with the boot paramenters . Like im disagbling something important for performance [11:31] http://pastebin.com/XdbVezNq [11:31] is there some way to write wine scripts that manipulate the windows program that wine is running? [11:31] What does "Waiting for network configuration..." mean? [11:31] m3kk, hmm no idea what could be causing that. is it an old install? [11:32] I.e. what error condition is it? [11:32] Gentoo64, fresh! [11:32] actually that shouldnt matter [11:32] sun-java6-jdk appears to be installed on my system, but 'which jdk' produces the dreaded openjdk... what's going on? [11:32] screw it ill just put it on dailybooth for you in a min lol [11:32] I need the oracle jdk. [11:32] Gentoo64, i tried back with the latest LTS version because i ordered a cd..could not get it to boot [11:33] Gentoo64, recently tried again with the new 11.10 tought it was some bug that was solved..but it was the same and after some googling i got it to boot with those parameters.. [11:33] m3kk, try disabling apic in the bios without thos eparemeters [11:33] i'm using ubuntu 10.10 live cd if it helps [11:33] using sudo update-alternatives --config java [11:33] doesn't produce any choices but openjdk. [11:34] yodaino: how did you install java? [11:34] I feel like canonical/ubuntu is making it VERY hard on users to have a choice in their jdk choice. [11:34] yodaino: actually, its oracle [11:34] m3kk, only temporarily [11:34] Aliv3: you are just wanting a video file player or di you have a tv tuner card? [11:34] m3kk, ho many cores have you got? [11:34] ActionParsnip, ok [11:34] i have a tv tuner card [11:34] yodaino: they don't want their java product packaging [11:35] ActionParsnip, that makes sense, and I apologize for a stupid statement [11:35] yodaino: its cool [11:35] installing oracle's jdk is simple.. [11:35] this laptop came with a jdk on it [11:35] m3kk, if you have multiple cores then disabling apic will slow you down. i thought at first you said acpi [11:35] ActionParsnip, so I don't know how it was installed [11:35] * Vir hops over to #ubuntu-server ... cu [11:35] teddie, can you tell me how to do it? [11:36] yodaino: I downloaded the 1.7 tar.gz and extracted it and put it in /usr/lib/jvm then ran: sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.7.0_01/bin/java 71 [11:36] ActionParsnip, ok [11:36] !java has the info [11:36] dr_willis: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [11:36] http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-7u1-download-513651.html [11:36] yodaino: you can then symlink /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.7.0_01/lib/i386/libjava.so into your browser's plugins folder [11:37] yodaino: its not hard at all :D [11:37] hm, is it possible to use oracle jre with chrome? [11:37] firefox uses it.. but chrome doesn't [11:37] ActionParsnip, how will that work with apt-get? [11:37] hi ubottu [11:37] ActionParsnip, I mean... is it independent of apt-get? [11:37] yodaino: apt-get isn't part of it [11:37] yodaino: it's not packaged, remember [11:38] ActionParsnip, should I, as a noob, be trying to install stuff with the package manager? [11:38] ActionParsnip, oh ok [11:38] so can i set it up or not [11:38] hello [11:38] there [11:38] i'm using ubuntu live cd 10.10, and having trouble with the sound [11:38] i have directv [11:38] ubuntu doesn't recognize my sound card at all [11:38] hello azertyii [11:38] Hello azertyii [11:38] http://pastebin.com/XdbVezNq [11:38] * Aliv3 will rape her later [11:39] * teddie buttrates Aliv3 [11:39] well.. uhm n e wys.. so can i do it or not [11:40] Can Netflix work with Ubuntu? [11:40] no [11:40] i just create an alias but closing/opening the terminal [11:40] i can't find my alias [11:40] is that normal ? [11:40] ActionParsnip, do you think I'll run into problems developing in eclipse using the oracle jdk 7? [11:41] acertyii, run source .bashrc [11:41] yodaino: if you need the features in the oracle java, then use it [11:41] acertyii, I mean, run 'source ~/.bashrc' [11:41] ActionParsnip, I'll just give it a try [11:41] deej1976, thanks that worked i got wireless now again [11:42] anyone there ? [11:42] hiexpo: Excellent, thanks for letting me know. [11:42] 1588 of us [11:42] 1589 [11:42] deej1976, no problem now i gotta try and get my sound working [11:42] anyone use passphrase ssh. i've been bothered by an issue forever and now i want to fix it. i have a file located in my home folder .ssh named id_rsa and everytime I log into an ssh server it first asks me what that passphrase and then I have to enter the password on the server I am trying to reach. [11:42] what gives with that, is that normal [11:43] mazda01, do you have your home directory encrypted? [11:43] republic, no [11:43] hello [11:43] republic, maybe i am not suppose to have a file called id_rsa located within /home/daniel/.ssh/ [11:44] i can't find my alias once after reopening the terminal, what to do ? [11:44] I will point you into a website. Wait for seconds, I will get it for you [11:44] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys [11:44] mazda01, please take a look at the site [11:45] azeryii, put it in .bashrc [11:45] look at the troubleshooting === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo [11:45] republic, ok, thanks [11:47] Hi, I can't launch Firewall Configuration from Dash, it asks for admin password but then never shows up. Launching it from terminal works fine also as normal user. I have tried reinstalling. Anyone? [11:48] republic, i've been using ubuntu since 2005 and like to thinkk i am pretty well versed on most things. i read that website and that's how i am setup BUT what I am saying is that i justr added a new machine on my network, it has ssh enabled but only to the internal network. it has password auth only, not key pair. WHY would i need to enter my passphrase to access it IF it only has password auth? that's my question I guess [11:48] perfect working teddie [11:51] mazda01, I am affraid I have no enough knowledge to answer your question. But, you can freely ask the question in #openssh if there is no one yet here answer your question [11:52] Gentoo64, i have quad i7 [11:52] republic, awesome, thanks for pointing me to that channel. I appreciate it! [11:52] Gentoo64, so this will affect my performance? is there any other solution to this? does nolapic noapic disable some cores? [11:52] m3kk, afaik disabling apic will reduce you to 1 core.. check it [11:52] that sound like whats happening [11:52] but i htought you meant acpi, not apic [11:53] Gentoo64, ah i have no idea what the difference is [11:53] acpi is power stuff [11:53] which wont affect performance [11:53] Gentoo64, and apic cpu? [11:53] apic is hardware stuff, i know disabling reduces performance. check how many cores you're using [11:54] in gnome system monitor or something [11:54] akubudakbaru, welcome, selamat datang :D [11:54] Hello, my raid10 array is not running anymore and I don't understand why, can someone help me ?

[11:55] no sorry i forgot [11:55] Gentoo64, i think i disabled HT due to wierd issues with games === bryan is now known as Guest66187 [11:55] you disabled it only in linux, so check it in limux [11:55] Can anyone tell me what the minimum requirements for ubuntu 11.10 w/unity-2d are?

If I'm not on linux, is it possible for me to uncompress *.deb? [11:59] Paddy_NI: can use LXDE, it runs on nearly anything [12:00] Lasers_: should be able to [12:01] ActionParsnip, Excellent.. should there be a performance gain if I run unity 2d with lxde? [12:01] ActionParsnip, I am also looking to lock down this little netbook for my friends 6 year old son so that he cannot even adjust the launchers... is that possible? [12:02] Lasers_: you won't be running gnome so it should use fewer resources === norpan is now known as m3kk [12:02] hello [12:03] Gentoo64: i guess i Pmed you :P [12:04] ActionParsnip: But I'm not on linux. I can't uncompress it. It recognize it as a Debian binary format. :) [12:04] ActionParsnip: I'll deal with it later when Im on linux. Nom nom nom. [12:05] Lasers_: rename it to tar.gz and retry [12:05] ActionParsnip: Okay. [12:06] Lasers_: windows is dumb and uses the file extension STILL [12:06] primitive rubbish === VV is now known as Rasmathase [12:09] ActionParsnip: OSX. Heh. tar.gz didn't do the trick. I ended up installing unp and it worked. ;0 [12:09] Lasers_: does OSX have the ar command in terminal? [12:10] unp is the daddy! [12:11] ActionParsnip: ar? [12:11] Lasers_: yes, ar [12:11] ActionParsnip: It does. I don't even know what that is for. [12:11] ActionParsnip: "create and mantain library archives" [12:12] Lasers_: then you can run: ar x filename and extract the deb [12:12] ActionParsnip: I'll try it for experiments. === Lasers_ is now known as Lasers [12:12] * tMH is gone. nsf [12:13] Hi, I can't launch Firewall Configuration from Dash, it asks for admin password but then never shows up. Launching it from terminal works fine also as normal user and doesn't ask for password (?). I have tried reinstalling. Anyone? [12:13] ActionParsnip: Ah. That worked. "ar -x whatever.deb" [12:14] say that I have a fresh installation of Ubuntu on some machine [12:14] and I want to SSH to it from my machine [12:14] is port 22 open by default on the fresh installation? [12:14] No [12:14] or do I have to grab openssh-server/client on t.. [12:15] ok [12:15] Yes [12:15] great, alright [12:15] and openssh-server/client is just ONE means of enabling the machine to ssh to and from? [12:15] Odaym: "sudo aptitude install ssh" [12:15] Odaym: That'll install both. [12:15] ah, even the "ssh" package is not there by default [12:16] Lasers: should've said you were on OSX ;) [12:16] ActionParsnip: "Not linux" :) [12:16] Lasers: but unp is badass [12:16] Lasers: there are tonnes of other OSes [12:16] ActionParsnip: Well, yeah. I got this one sorted out. Many thanks to you. :) [12:17] republic, just an FYI, i temp moved the ~/.ssh/id_rsa file and now i am only prompted to enter the password for the ssh server I am trying to connect to [12:17] Odaym: So you're not using Ubuntu if the package 'ssh' does not exist. [12:18] Archlinux. :o [12:18] Odaym: it is open by default, just nothing is listening to it [12:19] Odaym: if you want an ssh server, you need to install openssh-server package [12:19] yes I am using Ubuntu, and I just went to the 10.4 machine and did apt-get ssh and it installed [12:19] it wasn't there by default [12:19] else it would've said so [12:19] but "ssh" does install openssh-client/server [12:19] !info ssh | Odaym [12:19] Odaym: ssh (source: openssh): secure shell client and server (metapackage). In component main, is optional. Version 1:5.8p1-7ubuntu1 (oneiric), package size 1 kB, installed size 40 kB [12:20] nice [12:20] Odaym: 'ssh' is a metapackage. It pulls in few packages. [12:20] but it did solve the SSH problem [12:20] now I can ssh to the machine [12:20] before, I couldn't [12:20] hooray! [12:20] Odaym: if it fixed it then sweet [12:20] indeed [12:21] there's a user on that machine that doesn't have a password [12:21] when I just press return when being prompted for the password, I get an error [12:21] how am I going to tell it that this user doesn't have a password.. [12:21] lol [12:21] Hi guys, anyone here use likewise-open? I'm trying to join an AD domain, however I'm getting "The OU format is invalid" [12:21] failure by design [12:21] definitely seems like it [12:21] er, wrong phrase [12:22] Odaym: set a password [12:22] yes I gather that that's what must be done [12:22] JOIN #ptm [12:22] \JOIN #ptm [12:22] whatever the phrase is for intentionally fails :p [12:22] sorry [12:23] mazda01, glad to hear that. But, I am currious with your /etc/ssh/sshd_config file. May I know whether PasswordAuthentication set to yes or no? [12:23] mazda01, I know perhaps it has nothing to do with your problem, but I am just curious [12:24] republic, you asking for that from the server i am trying to connect to OR the client on I am right now. [12:24] the server, if the machine belong to you [12:25] could anyone assist installing a ubuntu server w RAID10 (adaptec 2100S + 4x USCSI HDDs in a RAID10) ..

[14:37] does dell and/or win7 have some proprietary software interfering with the process? [14:38] RaTTuS|BIG: that might be, i have no real clue here. I just assume that as the core is not that new it should be proeprly supported [14:38] susundberg: is there somehow i can test this? because i feel its behaiving slow sometimes, open folders alltou they are empty etc..could be other stuff aswell as graphics but since that was the only thing i found that could be it.. To boot before i had to use bootparameters "nolapic noapic" and i tought that was the cause with only showing 1 core, but now i managed to boot without and its still showing same [14:38] susundberg: im all ears! [14:38] hello people, i have a number of *.so files i need to copy to my Ubuntu library path, but am not sure where that is or how to do it [14:38] http://paste.ubuntu.com/745950/ -- this is paste from that /proc/cpuinfo (last of 0 - 7) [14:39] my dell is i7 too [14:39] it does show cores: 4 [14:39] and $echoing ld_library_path shows blank [14:39] Excuse me guys, but how do i edit the autostartlist in Xubuntu? tried google it, and it says xfce4-autostart-editor, but it doesnt accept that :) [14:39] m3kk: well i guess you could try to shoot some heavy single thread program and see what top says -- at least in my case single thread will make load only to have 1/N % [14:39] susundberg: compare mine and yours.. mine is like just 0 and 1, yours have alot different numbers.. [14:39] so my question pls is where is ubuntu lib path???

[14:41] m3kk: but no sorry i do not have fix if it is an real problem, Only what i can suggest is to google for answear. AFAIK processors that are not brand new are very well supported [14:41] susundberg: why does mine stop at "power management" ? [14:41] thats the end of the info for the first processor, i guess [14:41] susundberg: and on yours there is alot of text going on [14:42] m3kk: yeah but that is an server machines with 8x separate cores or similar [14:42] m3kk - try enableing HT and trying again ,, [14:42] topriddy: try use locate to find whatever you're searching for [14:42] RaTTuS|BIG: i will try that.

[17:08] add multiple IPs to the same interface without an alias interface, ie add them all to eth0 [17:08] Anyone? [17:08] namidark_: yes. The problem is the module is blacklisted. So instead of trying to load it manually in /etc/modules, you should remove the blacklist for it [17:08] soreau: I had but it didnt do it for some reason [17:08] (ok... screen scrolled up, question not answered.) Thanks, I feel just as invisible as I always do when I come in here. No answers. [17:08] soreau: any chance on getting your help with the wifi too :o? [17:09] namidark_: It's clearly blacklisted from that output [17:09] catphish: Why would you want to do that? [17:09]  some softwares are closing without my command in the new version of ubuntu. Somebody can help me? [17:09] what is YourNick? [17:09] usr13: because aliases like that are somewhat deprecated [17:09] namidark_: You should have no references to b44 anywhere in /etc/modprobe* or /etc/modules and then it should automatically load [17:09] catphish: Really? [17:10] usr13: networkmanager and iproute2 don't use them for example [17:10] namidark_: For wifi, the only chipsets I avoid (and avoid supporting) are broadcom [17:10] ! broadcom | namidark_ [17:10] namidark_: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [17:10] you can now add IP addresses directly to an interface without an alias [17:10] but not sure how you express that in the interfaces config file [17:11] soreau: alright well thank you very much :) [17:11] namidark_: np [17:11] I'm using ubuntu ami's on EC2, and trying to setup an NFS server / clients. I've hit the problem where the client is permission denied because the dns lookups don't match forward and backward. How can I resolve that? (esp since when I run dig -x, i get Ip's and hostnames that match) [17:12] GirlyGirl: I just joined the chan, so I can't see your previous posts. :P Maybe you should join #kde and ask them about it? [17:12] usr13: "Modern distributions are in the process of deprecating ifconfig and route, replacing them with iproute2, which has been available since 1999-April-17 for Linux 2.2.4, though many distributions still fail to use it throughout. iproute2 includes support for all common functions of ifconfig(8), route(8), arp(8) and netstat(1), and beyond that, multicast configuration support, tunnel and virtual link management, traffic control [17:12] (such as bandwidth shaping), and (lowlevel) IPsec configuration among others." [17:12] personally i like iproute2 [17:12] seanh: why don't you use cat and grep? [17:13] catphish: I've never done that, (other than using aliases). [17:13] meskarune: how exactly? [17:13] seanh: [17:13] * theadmin likes netcfg [17:13] no worries [17:13] catphish: Maybe you are confusing routes with IP addresses? [17:13] seanh: (er, oops). I'm not sure what those screenshots are showing you. [17:13] usr13: i really think i'm not [17:13] :) [17:13] seanh: with pipes. pipe the terminal output you want to search [17:14] catphish: Where is the above quote from? [17:14] Pici: in iTerm2 on OS X you can type CMD-f to start searching, and it highlights all the search matches in your terminal scrollback [17:14] seanh: If you want to know how to search in 'less', just press / and then type your search term. [17:14] hello, i need help. I've an acer c110 pico projector and i found a driver on this website : https://github.com/rettichschnidi/acerc11xdrv and i dont know how can i install it [17:14] usr13: wikipedia's ifconfig page [17:14] seanh: http://www.december.com/unix/tutor/pipesfilters.html [17:15] Hi, could anyone recommend me a program for formatting a drive with NTFS? [17:15] usr13: http://paste.codebasehq.com/pastes/kuknvcmpkoj53xgkjv (notice the first example shows only a single interface with one ip, but the second command shows multiple IPs on eth0) [17:15] seanh: Thats up to your terminal emulator then, I don't think that gnome-terminal can do that. [17:15] Piping the command output to less, ack, etc. doesn't work [17:15] use gparted [17:15] ip addr replaces ifconfig [17:15] e.g. mycommand | ack 'term' [17:15] output is the same as if I just did `mycommand`, no searcing, filtering, highlighting, ack doesn't work like this somehow [17:16] seanh: Could you just use grep? [17:16] Also piping it into less and then trying to search within less doesn't work [17:16] did someone say they could help with the SD card problem [17:16] hello guys [17:16] AndyUbuntu: What's the problem exactly? [17:16] how do i install java jre for firefox ? [17:16] catphish: Well, maybe someone else on here knows what your talking about because I don't. :) [17:16] theadmin: No, same as ack, output is not affected by piping to grep [17:16] pt-get install openjdk-6-jre openjdk-6-jre-headless openjdk-6-jre-lib [17:16] !java | arcsky [17:16] didint work [17:16] arcsky: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [17:16] theadmin, i seem to be getting a read issue [17:17] catphish: /join ##linux [17:17] does anyone here uses backtrack ?? [17:17] seanh: command 2>&1 | grep foo [17:17] I have tried to format the card and it fails [17:17] dante_: No support for that nonsense here [17:17] Hi, suddenly after recent updates, desktop notification sounds stopped working, but audio through applications works fine. How to find out what could be wrong and fix it? [17:17] !backtrack | dante_ [17:17] dante_: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [17:17] okay... sorry :X [17:17] usr13: i'm in ##linux === nitin_ is now known as nixrocker [17:18] nobody there got back to me [17:18] theadmin, i really need to use this drive so if there is you can provide some tips on how to fix the issue that would be great [17:18] Jordan_U: that gives no output at all, even though the search term should match some lines [17:18] AndyUbuntu: What's the filesystem on the device? [17:18] I'm using ubuntu ami's on EC2, and trying to setup an NFS server / clients. I've hit the problem where the client is permission denied because the dns lookups don't match forward and backward. How can I resolve that? (esp since when I run dig -x, i get Ip's and hostnames that match) is there a way to turn off that check? [17:19] theadmin, i think it is formatted in FAT16 as it was for a flip camera [17:19] seanh: Make sure that you're using the proper case (grep is case sensitive by default). Also, less should work by doing something like this: command 2>&1 | less [17:19] hi [17:19] Jordan_U: Ah wait, that does work with ack! [17:19] AndyUbuntu: FAT16? That still exists? Anyway, dismount the drive and fsck it [17:20] histo, how, I did an upgrade recently and something is grabbing a key from my keyboard, how can I find out what? how can I see all the keyboard events? [17:20] *hi [17:20] theadmin, lol i have checked another SD card and it was FAT16 so think this is likely to be also [17:20] andyubuntu is the data still on the disk ?? [17:20] ikonia: hey [17:21] dante_ this is some data on the disk that i dont mind removing [17:21] hello, i need help. I've an acer c110 pico projector and i found a driver on this website : https://github.com/rettichschnidi/acerc11xdrv and i dont know how can i install it [17:21] voidr: xev [17:21] Jordan_U: Yeah less is best because I can try multiple different searches and have the results highlighted, and the lines that don't match are still there for me to see as well [17:22] whats the problem andyubuntu can u be more specific ?? [17:22] is the disk not accessible ?? [17:22] seanh: Basically the problem is that your command is outputing some or all of what you want to search through to stderr rather than stdout. [17:23] dante_ its not accessible at all at the moment. I took it out my flip cam as it ihad ran out of batteries and i has not worked since [17:23] hi may i ask whats this line means [ "`date +%Y%m%d -r ${CURRENTFILE}`" = "${CURRENTDIR}${DATE}" ] && ; $CURRENTFILE = sa23 & (${CURRENTDIR}${DATE} = 20111123) [17:23] Jordan_U: Yeah, thanks. Noted this in my log file [17:23] AndyUbuntu: Did you fsck it? [17:23] FocusIn event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x6c00001, [17:23] mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyAncestor [17:23] seanh: You're welcome. [17:23] does this mean anything? [17:23] thadmin, it did not appear with fsck for some reason [17:24] AndyUbuntu: Oh, uhm, does it get detected at all? Does it create anything in /dev? [17:24] what could be grabbing my Z key? [17:24] theadmin, it is detected and appears as "sdb" [17:24] /dev/sdb [17:24] AndyUbuntu: Okay, but it has no partitions? (sdb1, sdb2, sdb3...), right? [17:25] andyubuntu why dont you just try formatting your SD ? [17:25] theadmin, it has no partitions at all [17:25] it has no partitions at all [17:26] Anyone use unity? [17:26] hello [17:26] fun [17:26] AndyUbuntu: Run: sudo cfdsik /dev/sdb [17:26] hi may i ask whats this line means [ "`date +%Y%m%d -r ${CURRENTFILE}`" = "${CURRENTDIR}${DATE}" ] && ; $CURRENTFILE = sa23 & (${CURRENTDIR}${DATE} = 20111123) [17:26] AndyUbuntu: Create the partitions [17:26] stray_wolf, you should use gnome-shell, it's so much nicer than unity [17:26] auhaisdhihasiud [17:26] I just found a way to add a quick list of files to the home folder launcher. [17:26] asdbiasdh [17:26] asdiuhas [17:27] I wann get to know something new, wand watch it grow a little before I ditch it. [17:27] use unity-2D better then 3D [17:27] hi may i ask whats this line means [ "`date +%Y%m%d -r ${CURRENTFILE}`" = "${CURRENTDIR}${DATE}" ] && .....variables are $CURRENTFILE = sa23 & (${CURRENTDIR}${DATE} = 20111123) [17:27] Unity works fine for me. I always used cairo-dock so I'm pretty use to the interface. [17:27] It just needs more sub-docks. [17:27] Or sub-launcheers.

[17:28] The attractive thing about ubuntu is that you can always switch out your interface if you don't like the one out-of-the-box. [17:28] AndyUbuntu: I hear your reply, stop that... [17:29] hello, i need help. I've an acer c110 pico projector and i found a driver on this website : https://github.com/rettichschnidi/acerc11xdrv and i dont know how can i install it [17:29] stray_wolf: lol, why not just build something on your own with the interface that you *like* right away? [17:30] Becuase, things change, people figure out different methods. I did that from Karmic to Natty, then got bored with my highly modified desktop. [17:30] OI [17:30] alguem afim de teclar comigo ? [17:31] theadmin, thanks also im confused also this one if my interpretation is correct [ ! -L ${CURRENTFILE} ] && does is means false if ${CURRENTFILE} exist and symbolink link and not continue [17:31] magellan: If ${CURRENTFILE} exists and is not a symbolic link, then... [17:31] I barely used the gnome panel except for notifications...much like in Unity. I had compiz animations and plugins operating and cubes with skydomes, and cairo-dockGL fully animated. [17:31] * theadmin loves her xfce === Wicet|2 is now known as Wicet [17:33] Unity is at lot like how I used to set up my system so I see no need to do too much other than adding some sub-launchers to the home launcher, and maybe for a few other launchers.

[17:34] guidov reinstall the header files ... [17:34] Which I'm off to do now...later! [17:34] guidov: sudo apt-get source PACKAGENAME will give you the sources for PACKAGENAME. [17:35] ok, so what do i type? [17:36] type this guidov-> apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.38 [17:36] that will work ...

[17:48] theadmin it picks the card up as 1gb and it is a 16gb disk [17:49] AndyUbuntu: Oh... That's weird. [17:49] theadmin, slightly strange [17:49] AndyUbuntu: Happens to some chinese drives for unknown reason to me [17:49] ubuntunoob, it doesn't boot into 3 by default. do i change this with grub? [17:50] i said delete the other kernel from synaptic [17:50] theadmin, i think i may of taken the sd card out of the device while it was still doing something [17:50] boot into 2.6 and go into synaptic and remove all the other kernel versions [17:50] theadmin, thus distroying the sd card :s [17:50] ok [17:50] doing so [17:50] apt-get remove linux-header 3x or whatever [17:50] why doesnt this crap ubuntu handle the JRE java in firefox ? [17:50] guidov: Don't listen to that... [17:51] arcsky: Did you read the guide I linked you to? [17:51] theadmin, what do you mean?

[18:30] and I needed to upgrade to 1ubuntu7 to fix a problem that was casuing PCI compliance issues with the server. [18:30] nero, did you run any tests using sendmail directly ? [18:30] u found the bcm package ubuntunoob ?? [18:30] which one ??? [18:30] not yet. But watching the logs, the requests from php have the correct header.

[18:32] dont install it [18:32] o [18:32] nero, then I suggest you to run some tests with sendmail to be sure the problem comes from there [18:32] ubuntunoob: ok one more, lspci | grep Broadcom [18:32] just tell me if u see that package there or not ?

I connect the monitors to the box, then the box to the computer. The box reports to the computer that it has one monitor with a res of 1600x600, then splits the computer output between the two monitors. I have no idea what that name of these are or how to sear [19:08] ch for them online. I keep coming up with splitters (mirrored) -- can anyone help me with this?

[19:22] Quick, simple question; in your experience, what's the best way to stress-test HDDs in Ubuntu? [19:22] Or rather; How can one send messages from Empathy to Google Voice? [19:22] ghost1227 so you mean the little messaging indicator on the top right? [19:22] nathan0n5ire: yep [19:23] I keep getting conflicting responses through Google, so I thought I'd ask here. [19:23] screen is not sourcing my .bashrc settings. I wish to use bash completion and alias definiations. Any workaround? [19:24] I believe you just have to install pidgin [19:24] IdleWarship: voice messages or im? [19:24] nmvictor: have you restarted you entire screen session since you made your changes? [19:24] and then if you want to remove empathy [19:24] nathan0n5ire: i've removed empathy and installed pidgin, but it doesn't show up [19:24] you just uninstall it [19:24] base [19:25] hmm, when I used unity that's all I needed to do [19:25] nope still no dice i get same error as if no key is saved but it is because i can ssh into the same box this is really bugging me...

[19:25] no opengl [19:26] e_t: you do realise that verbose simply gives you more information, it won't fix anything, just helps you identify what is wrong [19:26] Pici: I started using screen yeserday and this is the default behaviour since. I couldnt even use predefined aliases like ll -> ls -l , nor bash completion. [19:27] nmvictor: Are you sure that your shell is running inside of screen? echo $SHELL [19:28] Pici, i get /bin/sh [19:28] Once more, simple question; in your experience, what's the best way to stress-test HDDs in Ubuntu? [19:28] nmvictor: theres your problem. You aren't running bash. [19:29] theadmin, hi addition FAQ hope i didn't bother you with my question..what mainly the difference between this $variable and ${variable} i see the script using this ${variable} is there any advantage.. [19:30] Pici, thanks for the eyeopener, which is similar to what I experinced with konsole at first run, lucky enough i was eble to work that around with console settings. so how do i switch to bash in screen? [19:30] nmvictor: If you're having consistant problems with this you should just run chsh to change your default shell. [19:32] if i run 'sudo update-grub' will it install to sda only, or sdb too?

[19:36] jay12: pidgin works fine for me [19:36] bekks I'm not sure what you mean. It used to work normally before. Can you elaborate? [19:37] nmvictor: Otherwise you can just start bash manually if you cannot relogin at this time. [19:37] auronandace, I'll give it a shot, I used pidgin before updating [19:37] Pidgin works amazingly. [19:37] Pici: inside the screen session, do you mean that? [19:37] lordjj: FAT32 doesnt support POSIX access rights at all. You have to pass an option like "uid=1000" for the user you want it to "own".

[22:29] hdpb, after you open the program terminal, you can type commands there [22:29] The thing is that I am worry to infect our servers [22:29] in this case, type "top" and press enter [22:29] with my machine [22:30] I am lucky they are trusting me to run Linux as the main OS [22:30] RiceKing, ubuntu can't really be infected (perhaps your wine install, but very unlikely it will get passed along) [22:30] teddie, you have to mark a program executable before being able to run it from wine [22:30] Some of our servers run Unix so I really don't want to cause an accident [22:31] I really don't agree with the message given by ubottu on not needing antivirus. Yes there are fewer viruses on Linux, but rootkits etc. are still a problem, and theoretically you could get a virus on linux [22:31] RiceKing, http://www.kaspersky.com/anti-virus_linux_workstation [22:31] Yes, I also disagree but didn't want to start a fight over it [22:31] Thanks for the link [22:31] MeQuerSat: sorry. got dumped by my 2 year old. [22:32] maxo, RiceKing you're both obviously converts from windows... just saying. [22:32] I get tons of people here in my department thinkign that Mac don't get virus [22:32] anyway, that's why I always rm -rf ~/.wine after use [22:32] I also use Windows [22:32] i suppose system dlls could be replaced with infected copies [22:32] I have used Linux for many years but never bother but since I am running this at work I want to be careful [22:32] teddie, but even in wine most viruses/malware fail to run properly [22:32] RiceKing, you probably also want to look at other areas like making sure you're patched etc. Higher-level stuff like Apache is generally more vulnerable than lower-level stuff [22:32] MeQuerSat: Have terminal up... [22:32] RiceKing, take a look at the link I pasted ;) [22:33] hdpb, now type in "top" [22:33] I will thanks [22:33] hdpb, and press enter [22:34] someone help i broke my system [22:34] Thank you to ALL developpers of the new UBUNTU 11.10 [22:34] help please [22:34] !details | tbruff13 [22:34] tbruff13: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [22:34] I'am so pleased to see how good the current version is [22:34] tbruff13, describe the problem [22:34] bart_, I was suprised too :) [22:36] anyway, however i'am not a developper I want to thank all of you [22:37] hey folks, i'm getting this error: "subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127" from apt-get install [22:37] what big changes are in 11.10? [22:37] how can i view the script that run? [22:37] * teddie is still using 10.10.. wishes ubuntu used a rolling release :-[ [22:37] teddie: 11.10 ships with microsoft office [22:37] lol [22:37] perlstein, did you try a "apt-get install -f" already? [22:38] hello all [22:38] helo [22:38] i just did [22:38] and it gave the same error [22:38] how can i view the script running? [22:38] or at least its output? [22:39] I am trying emesene 2.11.11 but I can't set the proxy for msn protocol... I click on preferences button but I dont get a proxy option... any idea on how to set up the proxy? [22:39] does anyone know when to expect power issues to be fixed in 11.10? I've reverted to 11.04 classic over the high usage issue [22:40] perlstein, if i where you, i'd search on https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs for the package you are installing, and see if anyone's reported issues. [22:40] i'm a programmer [22:40] i could probably fix this myself if someone could tell me how to view the darn install script [22:40] or its output [22:40] :( [22:40] perlstein, man apt-get ? [22:40] check what the --verbose option can do [22:41] nothing, there's no option :D [22:41] hey === flack-Z is now known as flack [22:41] MeQuerSat: it jumped when it loaded, but doesn't ever seem to eat CPU. [22:41] anyone [22:42] * reisio is a one [22:42] hdpb, what exactly happens? does the page hang, or the whole browser? etc [22:42] * MeQuerSat is a one too [22:42] hwo? [22:42] massy page [22:42] seccunda: hwo? [22:43] MeQuerSat: everything hangs. no Unity, screen grays (or greys) out. [22:43] ive got oscam server on ubuntu [22:43] hdbp: try running Firefox in safe mode. In a terminal type: firefox -safe-mode [22:43] MeQuerSat: had the same issue last night before it updated to FF8, and tried 8 today with the same issue [22:44] hdpb, and it does not happen on other sites? [22:44] seccunda: Please ask your question in the form of a question. [22:44] hdpb, do you have flash installed? [22:44] I haven't noticed it. [22:44] perlstein: Don't tell people ubuntu ships with microsoft office because that is absolutely false [22:44] soreau, I think everyone got that thats a joke ;) [22:44] there isnt my question [22:45] MeQuerSat: In the official support channel, it's not [22:45] lol. [22:45] MeQuerSat: Yes. Is there a way to tell if it's accessing swap or not? [22:45] seccunda, is english your native language? There are ubuntu support channels in many languages. [22:45] Hi! someone knows the channel for virtualbox? thanks! [22:45] soreau, you mean it doesn't? [22:45] javier_faj: #vbox [22:46] yeh sorry man is english [22:46] Anyway to get rid of unity in 11.10? [22:46] I want old gnome back [22:46] where can i find about oscam server [22:46] hdpb you mean the swap file? [22:46] javier_faj: FFR: /msg alis list *virtual*box* [22:46] need some help with smartreader [22:46] !notunity | Linuzo [22:46] Linuzo: 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 [22:46] MeQuerSat: partition, but yes... [22:46] hdpb, you can execute "free -m" in the terminal [22:47] Hey, how can I uninstall apache2 completely? [22:47] What functionality do I lose? [22:47] Someone deleted /etc/apache2 [22:47] reisio: sorry, how do I enter there? is it an IRC channel? [22:47] Koolvin, did you uninstall apache from apt-get already? [22:47] Yes [22:47] Uninstalled [22:47] Reinstalled [22:47] sudo apt-get install gnome-panel [22:48] Pici, Thank you [22:48] Koolvin, and whats the reason you want it uninstalled completely? [22:48] Apache2 isn't remaking the /etc/apache2 config files [22:48] Because it's broken without the config files [22:48] Koolvin, you can uninstall it by doing "apt-get remove --purge " [22:48] I want to uninstall and reinstall fresh [22:48] and then reinstall [22:48] --purge makes it remove all config files [22:48] MeQuerSat: guessing it showing "0" for total swap would be a bad sign... Easy way to help it see swap without reinstall? [22:48] If no one knows any other channels where I could ask about my hard drive and broken file system and data recovery, maybe someone could tell me why's a partition not mounting but gparted is not finding any problem with the device? [22:49] Or the file system, for that matter [22:49] Jonii: start from the beginning [22:49] Didn't work MeQuerSat [22:49] hdpb, you have no swap partition? [22:49] Installed without creating the new configuration files [22:50] hdpb, you can do a sudo swapoff -a [22:50] damn, gnome2 cannot be installed at all anymore ? :[ [22:50] and sudo swapon -a [22:50] and 10.10 support dies in 6 months! i'll have to say goodbye :'( [22:50] teddie, Gnome Shell is actually pretty good [22:50] reisio: I try to use an old hdd of mine to install ubuntu on it. I thought I could also save any old data on the disk. Unfortunately, neither partitions on my old disk mount, the old C: partition reports an error with the filesystem(one cluster missing somehow), the other does not report any errors but doesn't mount. [22:50] teddie there's MATE, but it's in the Mint repo's, try it in test environment, first, it works, i tried it [22:51] I can get the old OS(windows) on that disk to boot up a bit, but it very quickly(you can barely see the windows logo and that loading screen flash by) the computer restarts [22:51] MonkeyDust, awesome! [22:51] i <3 gnome2, don't care for change for sake of change [22:51] Should have a 2G swap... Shows in disk utility aslinux-swap. [22:51] Jonii, like I said, hook the drive up as a secondary drive [22:51] MeQuerSat, any other ideas? [22:51] koolvin, sorry no [22:52] MeQuerSat: I didn't see you said that, but okay, thanks. Just one problem though: how do I do that? [22:52] hdpb, what does it say under Device: === JG84|Sleep is now known as JG84|Around-ish [22:52] hdpb, it should say something like /dev/sda4 [22:52] /dev/sda6 [22:53] I don't understand this secondary device thing. Is that a hardware or software thing? [22:53] in that case you can do: sudo swapon /dev/sda6 [22:53] Something in between? [22:53] Jonii: secondary device? [22:53] MeQuerSat: will that pick it up permanently at boot? [22:53] Like, give me some terms I can google [22:53] hdpb, no, you have to edit the file /etc/fstab to do that [22:54] hum... I use laptop that inclueded Number key in keyboard. but When I typing the password, Ubuntu alert turned num lock key. [22:54] mog422: and? [22:54] how to turn off the number lock alert [22:54] szal, yes [22:54] Jonii: what's that supposed to mean? [22:54] somtimes some windows (like my sticky notes) hide themselves to the right of the desktop's visible area. The cursor also hides itself there if I move it on that direction. Any idea of how to solve this? [22:55] hdpb, does it show your swap now if you run "free -m" ? [22:55] szal, that's the thing, I have no idea [22:55] Jonii, its not a hardware thing [22:55] well [22:55] you have a hdd you boot your system from [22:56] MeQuerSat told me to hook my hdd as a secondary drive, and I have no idea what that means [22:56] and the other (where the data is on) is hooked up too [22:56] but you dont boot your system from that drive [22:56] MeQuerSat: err, nope. I'm booting from an usb stick [22:56] well, MeQuerSat, what do you mean by that? :) [22:56] i have a sdcard i encrypted with full disk encryption in palimpset, however after suspending, then removing the sdcard, then resuming, then re-inserting sdcard, I can not remount the sdcard : Error unlocking device: cryptsetup exited with exit code 239. bug report : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cryptsetup/+bug/484429 [22:56] Launchpad bug 484429 in cryptsetup (Ubuntu Maverick) "Plugging in a LUKS device causes the following error: Error unlocking device: cryptsetup exited with exit code 239: Command failed: Device already exists" [Undecided,Confirmed] [22:56] Jonii, a thats great [22:56] So I only got this one broken hard drive, nothing else [22:57] Jonii, youve got a ntfs partition on there [22:57] Jonii, what else? [22:57] MeQuerSat: two ntfs-partitions [22:57] C: broken, D: not mounting [22:57] the only reliable way to check NTFS filesystems is from within Windows [22:57] Jonii, what type of data do you want to retrieve? [22:57] That's the entire hdd. Nothing else in there [22:57] szal: not true [22:57] MeQuerSat: dunno. I can't remember what was on that disk [22:58] ... [22:58] is there an official irc channel for linux mint? [22:58] I'd just wanna browse it first [22:58] MeQuerSat: note the stress on 'reliable'; I didn't say it's the only possible way [22:58] MeQuerSat: Shows, but as you may have noticed by the lag, no effect when I tested facebook... Java related maybe? [22:58] There were some old documents somewhere in there, I remember I missed them greatly when my old computer crashed, but I can't quite remember what they were [22:58] How can I regenerate the default apache2 config files? [22:58] Jonii, take a look here: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk [22:58] Jonii you have more than one pc? if yes, try to ssh to the broken pc and browse the partitions [22:59] Jonii, and here: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec [22:59] MonkeyDust: I've got ubuntu on an USB stick, isn't that better? [22:59] hdpb, remove java and see [22:59] Jonii whatever works [22:59] Jonii, take a look at TestDisk [23:00] Jonii but more than one pc? [23:00] it does exactly what you want [23:00] M Audio 1010 LT and 11.04, has anyone got the solution to getting the inputs to work? The old fix was the default.pa file which already has the correct lines... [23:00] MonkeyDust: three now [23:00] One broken, two healthy ones [23:00] Jonii: easiest way: find someone w/ a Windows machine & hook that HDD up there, then check the filesystems by running 'chkdsk /f {insertDriveLetterHere}:' [23:00] How can I regenerate the default apache2 config files? [23:00] you can run chkdsk from gparted, szal [23:00] Jonii make sure there in the same network and then ssh user@[broken pc] [23:00] !repeat | Koolvin [23:00] Koolvin: 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/ [23:01] szal, actually, I've got Windows machine right here [23:01] hi [23:01] Jonii: then off you go [23:01] there = they're [23:01] MonkeyDust: I'd have to set up some ssh server on that computer first, right? [23:01] Koolvin, go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=apache&searchon=names&suite=oneiric§ion=all [23:01] Koolvin, download the package that contains the config files [23:01] extract [23:01] and copy the config files [23:01] Jonii that's not too complicated [23:02] But it wouldn't accomplish anything I couldn't do directly from that computer, right? [23:02] was linux mint cloned from ubuntu? [23:02] Jonii, cant you just hook it up to the windows machine? [23:02] cnz|skyrim not cloned, it's a fork [23:03] MeQuerSat: yeah, I can. It's just that, it's this machine I'd have to boot [23:03] !mint | cnz|skyrim [23:03] cnz|skyrim: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [23:03] how can i set a modal dialog windows as shown here http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/07/modal-dialogs-land-ubuntu-11-10/ :? [23:03] mint is "the same but different" [23:03] Oh well, I'll be going now -> [23:03] on ubuntu 11.10 of course :) [23:03] Jonii, well then, do what I said and take a look at TestDisk [23:03] MeQuerSat: disabled Java, but still didn't help. [23:04] Jonii if you had windows on the old pc, try rdesktop from within linux (over the network) [23:04] hdpb, dont Control+Alt+Delete and delete the cache [23:04] do* [23:04] check what you want to have refreshed [23:06] MeQuerSat: CTRL+ALT+DLT asks to log out... [23:06] Oh, haha [23:06] I meant Shift ofcourse [23:06] not alt [23:06] sorry :p [23:07] hey... how install tor in ubuntu 11.10 ? [23:08] i was install, but it wasnt work [23:08] xfox i think it's in the repo [23:08] MeQuerSat: Never picked up that shortcut before. Thanks! [23:09] I have a program that calls printf on lines ending in "\n", which would normally flush the output buffer if the output is a tty [23:09] xfox: torproyec.com it explains all there [23:09] But I want to redirect the output to a named pipe without changing the flushing behavior [23:09] torproyect.org * [23:09] and without changing the program [23:09] jimOTS, #bash [23:10] samba help anyone? i have two computers on a LAN, both ubuntu. both machines can see eachother, and one can connect to the other... but not the other way around [23:10] ufw is not running [23:10] xanga: i tryed it yet [23:10] MeQuerSat: Is that a better channel for this? Thanks. [23:10] nmap shows ports open in both directions [23:10] what am i missing!?!? [23:10] jimOTS, yes it is :) [23:11] arrrghhh samba is for lin > win, not for ubuntu > ubuntu [23:12] MonkeyDust, don't say that. samba can be used for ubuntu to ubuntu as well. [23:12] MeQuerSat: helped momentarily... but the froze again. Thanks for your help. Need to go make dinner for the kids... I'll check back in later [23:12] i use it in my network, although i prefer NFS for the speed, most users prefer samba for the ease of use.

I want to change the password for xUbuntu on my laptop, because I forgot it; not used it in awhile. I usually use Windows because I do a lot of research and you can't barely download anything on Linux to prevent virus infections, but when it comes to fast connection I always turn to Linux. So can you tell me if there is a way to recover a lost password without logging in on Ubuntu please? [23:33] yes, boot into recovery mode [23:34] SolarisBoy1, basically i have two ubuntu machines on a LAN. they are both setup with samba, both have some shares enabled. both machines can "see" eachother, but one fails to connect to the other. on the other side it works fine [23:34] and 'passwd user' [23:34] you can't barely download anything on Linux to prevent virus infections - you mean download windows virus¿ [23:34] recovery mode? [23:34] ok thank you! [23:34] or whatever it's called, in the grub menu [23:34] arrrghhh: i see. the one that can't see the other how have you tested the tofrom and vice versa traffic?

[23:35] rebecca_: yeah, it sucks windows virus don't infect gnu/linux ;) [23:35] SolarisBoy1, well i nmapped from either site. both sides have the same ports open. [23:35] trying to install xmpp irssi module [23:35] iabosi: the #irssi channel might be able to help you more [23:35] yeah haha! [23:35] any help would be appreciated [23:35] xangua, be respectful and please use gnu/linux/debian/ubuntu [23:35] wow great idea! [23:36] arrrghhh: ok on each box are you able to scan the lan for shares and get the same output? [23:36] teddie: does RMS approve of that one? [23:36] SolarisBoy1, well smbtree on the machine that "works" sees everything/all shares. [23:37] arrrghhh: and does the one that doesn't provide some error or no? [23:37] SolarisBoy1, smbtree on the machine that "fails" only sees the other computer. it doesn't see any shares. [23:37] ok how does testparm output look on the machine with "no shares" [23:37] SolarisBoy1, yea. cli_start_connection: failed to connect to USER-LAPTOP<20> (0.0.0.0) [23:37] arrrghhh: ok [23:38] SolarisBoy1, looks identical to the other machine [23:38] I don't get it, why are you using a buggy reverse-engineered windows protocol to connect two linux machines? [23:38] G4rb4, nfs is kinda complex, unless i setup fstab etc. [23:38] arrrghhh: are they browseable etc on the machine with no shares? 'browseable=yes' in smb.conf? [23:38] hi, is it possible to grab video from my DV camera?? [23:39] darkstar999, i think x.org should be credited too [23:39] teddie: gnu/linux/xorg/debian/ubuntu ? [23:39] perfect! [23:39] it rolls right off the tongue [23:39] :-P [23:39] hi!!! [23:39] enyone ! [23:40] arrrghhh: should the identical shares/configuration be true for each machine? if so have you tried to copy the files over and diff the smb.conf? [23:40] can somebody help me fix this plz? http://pastebin.com/KfNrTEJM [23:41] Also, on the camera monitor application, it only records half a millisecond of footage before it stops; is this due to low framerate, slow script, MB loss or anything else or is it meant to do that? [23:41] SolarisBoy1, mind if i PM? [23:41] arrrghhh: also check that your dns/name resolution is running and resolving properly and ensure that all the daemons are running that should be [23:41] arrrghhh: no i dont [23:41] that's a good point [23:41] hi can anyone help me grab DV video from 1394? [23:42] tim167, check out Kino [23:42] can anyone tell me why Camera MOnitor only records half a millisecond of footage please???!!?!?!? [23:42] tim167: try this - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Firewire#Capturing_Digital_Video_.28DV.29_over_Firewire [23:42] thanks! [23:43] zykotick9: doesn't work, that's why I'm asking, i also tried kdenlive and dvgrab, none works, I also did all the modprobe 1394 stuff , no worky [23:43] tim167, did you try running kino with gksu? [23:44] zykotick9: yep, well sudo, not gksudo, but i guess that doesn't matter ? [23:45] for graphical programs you should use gksu or gksudo [23:45] should I have a /boot/grub/menu.list file? [23:45] sudo is for use with the commandline interface [23:45] can some1 help me fix my plugins please? http://pastebin.com/KfNrTEJM [23:45] tim167, well, it does - but for an unrelated reason. DON'T use sudo with GUI apps [23:45] howdy, does anyone here happen to know if it is possible to get konsole to display with a transparent background in non-KDE window managers? xmonad for example? Cheers [23:46] zykotick9: Kino uses dvgrab I understand, and when i tried in Kino it DID grab something, but only one every 10 frames or so, with dvgrab alone it says "Error: no HDV. Try again before giving up" [23:46] xixor: transparent sounds like it needs hardware acceleration [23:46] I copied and pasted the folding.gedit-plugin into my /usr/share/gedit-2/plugins folder, restarted gedit and I don't see folding in my gedit Preferences -> Plugins list. What am I doing wrong? [23:46] tim167, what's your process speed? [23:47] s/process/processor/ [23:47] zykotick9: fast enough, it was working fine when this machine was running Windows, and using Sony Vegas to capture HDV video [23:49] zykotick9: so it's not processor speed that's the problem, and the camera is detected by at least Kino, also the controls work, the camera is activated and starts playing when I run dvgrab, but as I said it doesn't grab anything but says "Error: no HDV. Try again before giving up" instead [23:49] xangua: Yes, I have the Xorg composite extension enabled, OpenGL direct rendering is enabled, if I run KDE then konsole transparency works fine, I have xcompmgr running in the background, but konsole transparency doesn't work outside of KDE [23:50] "Ubuntu is running in low graphics mode"? [23:50] So 11.10 can't connect to DNS besides *.local, or ips. What would cause this? [23:50] Perhaps #ubuntu would result in an answer which the offtopic did not. What is the GPU situation with Ubuntu regarding somewhat higher number of displays (6+)? I'm under the impression that nVidia is unable to run such a high number of screens with two cards (the limit being two per card) and ATI still having some driver issues in Ubuntu - what would be the smartest GPU-setup for Ubuntu with 6+ dis [23:50] with 6+ displays?* [23:50] Wicet: ...having enough cards to support them? [23:51] <|Long|> hi, i got stuck at NX server is disable in /usr/nx/etc/node.cfg, it does not boot to GUI, how can i fix this pls help? [23:51] After half hour or so, I get error: "Ubuntu is running in low graphics mode" and the only thing that seems to fix it is to reboot. [23:51] My mistake, I found out what's wrong! [23:51] I was hoping to manage with two cards [23:52] Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset [23:52] So 11.10 can't connect to ips or DNS besides *.local. What would cause this? [23:52] OS=Ubuntu 10.04 [23:52] Fresh install [23:52] Any clues? [23:53] linda, 10.04 is 3 releases ago [23:53] linda: clues about what [23:53] So 11.10 can't connect to ips or DNS besides *.local. What would cause this? tried ping and traceroute, both fail [23:54] I put the folding in the right directory now but it's grayed out in my "Plugins" window and I can't select it. [23:54] G4rb4: and it's LTS [23:54] <|Long|> anyone can help plz? [23:54] It says, "Ubuntu is running in low graphics mode" "Your screen graphics card and input device settings could not be detected correctly. You will need to configure them yourself. [23:54] G4rb4: 10.04 is LTS [23:54] Do I have to chmod it? [23:54] !repeat | ShadwReevr [23:54] ShadwReevr: 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/ [23:54] xangua: I did before coming here [23:54] ShadwReevr: check your resolver configuration. [23:55] its the same as an identical box that has no issues [23:55] did you check all the related files? [23:55] G4rb4: Ubuntu 10.04 is current LTS, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS [23:55] like nsswitch.conf? [23:55] and see which order your resolver is working? [23:55] where is nsswitch.conf? [23:55] /etc/ . [23:56] welcome chanserver i how u have a happy and productive live [23:56] try that. `grep hosts /etc/nsswitch.conf` [23:56] reisio: Do you need any more information? If so, what>? === rAdoActiv3 is now known as RadioActiVe [23:57] SolarisBoy1: they are identical [23:57] linda, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes [23:57] ShadwReevr: what is the first entry in the hosts array for each? [23:58] SolarisBoy1: hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4 [23:58] huh, interesting: gdm3 will load ~/.xsessionrc, not ~/.xsession... wierd. [23:59] ShadwReevr: ok fine. and in your /etc/hosts file you have your 'lan ip->hostname' pair on a seperate line than your 'loopback->localhost.local' line && in your /etc/resolv.conf you have nothing odd for domain or search no? [23:59] ShadwReevr: on each.
