=== amstan is now known as amstan_ === amstan_ is now known as amstan [00:02] from now on I'm justing using macs [00:02] this is bs [00:03] qmr_: nobody cares [00:03] ActionParsnip: I hope you get aids [00:04] qmr_: it may happen, who knows [00:04] it seems like turning off wifi "fixes" my problem [00:04] if wifi driver is going to cause this bullshit, it should be blacklisted [00:04] hey, fuck you buddy [00:04] wasnt me [00:05] maybe if he comes back in the future he can get banned by another version? :p [00:05] WHAT'S UP NOW FAGGOTS [00:05] HUH? [00:05] YAE [00:05] FUCK YOU [00:05] fucking cunts [00:05] GO GO BAN HAMMER [00:05] COME ON [00:05] charming child [00:05] BRING IT [00:05] :) Lovely. [00:06] Is there any reason why Ubuntu (and its derivatives) download/install language packs for no reason [00:06] what are these language packs for? [00:06] Foxhoundz: install localepurge and you can get rid [00:06] people that don't speak english natively. :) [00:06] dpb_: Well, why is it doing it without user permission [00:07] or choice for that matter [00:07] Foxhoundz: it's a pretty common practice with operating systems. Mac os x, windows, etc. Because a lot of people don't speak english, and you want to make it easy for them to use the O/S [00:08] dpb_: Agreed. However, couldn't the install process simply ask the user to pick and choose which language pack to download in the first place? [00:08] Foxhoundz: I believe it's somehow set when you install [00:08] instead of downloading everything [00:09] hi all, in the keyboard shortcuts window, i've selected a shortcut to edit and i hold ctrl a for a while but it doesn't change anything: the shortcut is still reported as "disabled". Any idea ? [00:09] Foxhoundz: Its to make the system easier for non-techies [00:09] ActionParsnip: That doesn't make sense [00:09] You could just have a screen or a drop down control where you simply prompt the user for their specific language [00:09] I don't see how that would be too difficult for the average joe to figure out [00:10] Foxhoundz: yep, many other distros do have that, but the audience of ubuntu are non-technical users, so the installer is as simple as possible [00:10] Foxhoundz: sorry... can't help you on the why questions. beyond what I've already said. :) [00:10] The developers are out of touch with the community. [00:11] Anyway, back to installing Linux Mint [00:11] Mint'scommunity is tiny compared to Ubunus [00:11] Well Mint is somewhat of a fork of Ubuntu [00:12] Yes, I for one am very happy about multilingual support in ubuntu, opens it up to more users, which is very cool. [00:12] the packages are compatable with Ubuntu [00:12] yes, and its not supported in the Ubuntu channels [00:12] The install process is identical to Ubutnu [00:12] Foxhoundz: still, its offtopic here [00:13] I'm quite sure it is. That's why my question concerned Ubuntu [00:13] !mint [00:13] Which secretly addressed a Mint issue ;-) [00:13] Foxhoundz: its not [00:13] Yes, it is. [00:13] Ubuntu DOES install language packs without permission [00:13] which is carried over to mint [00:13] its not supported here, it has its own channel [00:14] ActionParsnip, ubottu's still not back :'( [00:14] ActionParsnip: I'm logged in as root, and I have tried making the folder both within $HOME and outside [00:14] ActionParsnip: Again, this is why my question concerned Ubuntu. [00:14] Foxhoundz: is your question actually for mint? [00:14] ActionParsnip: stop feeding him. :) [00:15] ActionParsnip: As far as you're concerned, no. [00:15] Rotham: strange, is the partition healthy [00:15] To quote myself: (6:06:18 PM) Foxhoundz: Is there any reason why Ubuntu (and its derivatives) download/install language packs for no reason [00:15] speaking of, dinner time for me. [00:15] :) [00:15] !ops | Foxhoundz wants support for mint and won't listen [00:15] My question stated Ubuntu as the issue [00:15] ActionParsnip: It should be, but how can I tell? [00:15] can anyone link to me to a good tutorial for rsync and ssh. I'm able to login to ssh without using a password with my pub key but I'm unable to use rsync and ssh [00:15] Foxhoundz: because people invariably want to change their languages with a single click [00:15] Rotham: boot to liveCD and fsck === max is now known as Guest13697 [00:15] its a vps [00:15] Foxhoundz: the pricier versions of Windows also come with unnecessary language packs preinstalled [00:15] btw [00:16] dont think i can boot to liveCD [00:16] Foxhoundz: Please stop. Mint is not supported here. go ask in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.net [00:16] For the 4th time (+) , my question concerned Ubiquity + Ubuntu [00:16] I only mentioned Mint because it was based on Ubuntu [00:16] let's not get carried away people [00:17] Foxhoundz: either way, I don't think you'd be able to get an answer as to why Ubuntu installs language packs for no reason. Typically devs who make such decisions aren't in this channel... [00:17] mbeierl: Thank you for your answer [00:17] That actually helped. [00:18] Foxhoundz: for what it was worth, you are welcome ;) [00:18] It would be nice if someone close to the devs could drop a suggestion to change this behavior [00:18] Its not pretty when you're on a metered bandwith [00:18] Foxhoundz: file a bug on launchpad.net [00:18] Foxhoundz: how big are they altogether? [00:18] Foxhoundz: that would actually be a bug report, or a suggestion in ... what's it called... brainstorm? [00:19] brainstorm, is that short for wasting your time? [00:19] a bug report would be better [00:19] reisio: I have no idea. I'm not sure where it saves the packs [00:20] Foxhoundz: it's probably negligible [00:20] text doesn't take up much space [00:20] pangolin: for this, I can see it being worthy of a bug, but in general, "I would prefer" type of things usually start here: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ [00:20] is there a specific package for the language packs? [00:21] dpkg -l | egrep -i 'lang|ling|i18n|l10n' might tell you [00:22] Foxhoundz: indeed... I did a quick review of my installed languages and there are very few. Perhaps you could simple deselect those that you don't want. Or is this during the install process that it is doing a download that you do not want [00:22] Foxhoundz: if so, something like an alternate install cd might be a better way to go. I did not have this issue when installing Natty, at least. [00:23] mbeierl: This occurs when you're first installing Ubuntu with a network connection [00:23] or else it just skips it [00:23] Foxhoundz: I should clarify my earlier statement: I see literally tens of languages, but about 4 that are actually installed. [00:24] Foxhoundz: I used a live usb for the install and was network connected and do not recall this happening to me. I too have limited bandwidth (not a bw cap, but just really slow) [00:24] Foxhoundz: 11.11 or what version? [00:25] Foxhoundz, I've installed many times with an alternate cd, with a shared gprs connexion, it didn't download any extra language pack [00:25] hello, how can i access a server using ssh and using a key? i always used putty on windows but i dunno how to do it here [00:25] mbeierl: 11.10 [00:26] Foxhoundz: that's what i meant ;) Just fat fingers. Ok, so I have not tried that one, and if that's the case, then it is a bug worthy of launchpad indeed. [00:26] drulic: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys [00:29] hey, if anyone can help me, i need indications about how to troubleshoot a faulty hibernation in Oneiric Ocelot [00:29] ActionParsnip: i was following that tutorial but i am not sure of how to proceed. I created my key and uploaded it to the server, but now what shall i do to connect? [00:30] thats all i know [00:30] luis_: so would anyone who could help you... what are the indications [00:31] http://www.debuntu.org/ssh-key-based-authentication [00:31] Does anyone have a recommendation on a USB wifi card with great reception and works out of the box? [00:31] drulic: from the command line, you specify the key to use with the -i flag like so: ssh -i key.pem user@server [00:31] Can someone tell me how to edit the gdm config files? [00:31] I need to remove "Ubuntu" = Unity as an option. [00:31] reisio whenever I click on hibernate or issue the hibernate command or the s2disk command, the screen goes black and then comes back to the normal screen again [00:32] drulic: you can also use the ssh-agent to store the key and present it with subsequent connections, but if the -i works for you, it's easiest [00:32] mbeierl: thanks i am gonna try it [00:32] usacomputertec_: which release? [00:32] Hello [00:33] ActionParsnip I'm using xubuntu 11.10 and I'm removing everything xubuntu and installing gnome and gdm [00:33] drulic: you're welcome. I've actually done quite a lot using ssh keys, so ask again if you hit a wall... [00:33] in hopes to avoid the Ubuntu bloat [00:33] usacomputertec_: nice move [00:33] luis_: s2disk doesn't give any errors? [00:33] How do you find the package name of a widgit in kubuntu? It's the calculator widgit you can put on the screen. [00:33] the problem is Ubuntu's gdm package is configured to log into Unity by default, and I don't even want it in there. ActionParsnip [00:34] usacomputertec_: look in /etc/gdm maybe [00:34] luis_: maybe you should try using tuxonice instead of uswsusp [00:34] ok [00:35] i'll give it a try reisio, any particular advice? [00:35] mbeierl: might be a stupid question but... where should i save my .pem key? i guess the desktop is not a save place :P [00:35] ActionParsnip it doesn't appear to contain any config files. Only bianary files. [00:35] usacomputertec_: or try /etc/init/gdm.conf [00:35] drulic: ~/.porn/ [00:35] drulic: the usual spot is in your home directory, under the ".ssh" directory (hidden in the Nautlus explorer by default) [00:36] luis_: that was my advice :D [00:36] awesome lets try it === ubuntu is now known as KxyZ [00:36] drulic: and it's also customary to set the permissions to "600", or owner read/write, everyone else access denied [00:36] drulic: from a terminal "chmod 600 .ssh/key.pem" === PaulW2U is now known as G4MBY [00:38] mbeierl: thanks again [00:38] drulic: also, I should mention in case you were not aware: on the server, the .ssh/authorized_keys file must be set to 600 or it will not be acceptable to the ssh server and it won't work [00:38] ActionParsnip no Gnome / unity stuff in there. [00:39] usacomputertec_: does it have about autologin and such? [00:39] drulic: or ... wait, that side was already set up, if i understood you correctly. you used it from putty before, just never linux. [00:39] mbeierl: I make those files 400 [00:39] ActionParsnip what are you talking about? [00:40] seekwill: even better. I know that 600 is the bare minimum that ssh will accept [00:40] usacomputertec_: the file I mentioned [00:40] Hi all [00:40] mbeierl: I don't need to write to them very often, and I worry about some cases where some rogue app can write to it but not able to chmod it [00:40] I'll look at it again [00:40] seekwill: it's a good practise [00:40] practice? (spelling is overrated...) [00:41] where are the kernel modules(.ko files) stored? [00:41] ActionParsnip it talks about auto-login in the instructions [00:42] ActionParsnip Wow it still uses xorg.conf [00:42] this might be stable [00:42] ;) [00:42] usacomputertec_: some systems need it [00:43] ActionParsnip it's running /etc/environment [00:44] amstan: /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel [00:44] usacomputertec_: that is a place to put global settings for bash ect [00:44] ActionParsnip: yeah, i got there, but i have this issue now: FATAL: Error inserting cdc_acm (/lib/modules/3.0.0-14-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/class/cdc-acm.ko): Invalid module format [00:44] ActionParsnip I opened the /etc/enviornment and it looks strange. Ya nothing to do with gdm conf [00:45] The system is repeatedly detecting a nonexistent drive /dev/sdf and assuming cache: write-thru- How do I disable this message so I can accessuse the system? [00:46] amstan: I have it here in Precise [00:46] ActionParsnip: have what? === soreau_ is now known as soreau [00:47] amstan: /lib/modules/3.2.0-2-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/class/cdc-acm.ko [00:47] ActionParsnip: i need it changed actually, trying to fix an issue [00:47] that's why i'm recompiling [00:47] but apparently i got the wrong version/arch [00:47] i have 3.0.0-14-generic [00:47] i did git checkout v3.0 to get the git source to be used in compiling my module [00:48] mbeierl: yes u are right, i could access it using putty [00:48] ActionParsnip wouldn't you know it? I can't find any thing on Google that talks about this. [00:48] about time xchat was installed by default on ubuntu! [00:49] drulic: then the simple -i should work for now. if you want to be lazy and not have to type it, there are ways... [00:49] tucemiux_mob: empathy is tough [00:49] * tucemiux_mob hates empathy [00:49] * mbeierl finds it tough to empathize indeed [00:50] anyone else having a great experience with ubuntu? **everything** actually works now! [00:50] usacomputertec_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutoLogin#Enabling_AutoLogin_from_command_line [00:50] ActionParsnip and anyone else, here is another question. How do you install gnome-desktop without installing empathy and other stupid dependancies. [00:50] mbeierl: right now im trying to log in using putty again on another computer...i forgot which was the actual key... got some .pem and some .ppk :P === unknown_ is now known as Unknow [00:52] reisio tried to install tuxonice but i got this:http://paste.ubuntu.com/755552/ === manofmilk is now known as milk|OMSI [00:52] whats the package name for software center???

[00:53] reisio: they made it first so I'd stand with them :) [00:54] reisi, sorry i keep getting disconnected :-( [00:54] tucemiux_mob: i told you already [00:54] ActionParsnip, I missed your post! [00:54] (00:52:57) ActionParsnip: tucemiux_mob: software-center [00:54] my bad [00:54] luis_: sounds like you have a dodgy mirror [00:54] ActionParsnip: but they didn't :D [00:54] it could be that [00:55] they mispronounce both the beginning and end, heh [00:55] that's why French is so fun to speak [00:55] it's not the first time i have that problem [00:55] luis_: 'fraid I don't use Debian enough to know what to do about that, but someone else in the channel probably knows [00:55] reisio: its a great language to learn [00:55] ActionParsnip I have to create a program, just to make Gnome normal enough again so I can fix things.

[00:59] there's some debate as to whether you do yourself a favor by using the fake cores, but you can find that on your own :p [00:59] reisio: thanks for the link, I'll check it out [01:00] Emiru: you have the performance of 4 afaik [01:00] I cannot join to php [01:00] hi [01:00] ActionParsnip: Oh I didnt know that, thanks !

Where's ubottu? Has she gone belly up?

[01:28] Can anyone help me get my Rosewell gigabite card working? [01:28] usalabs, support means critical bugs ( security ) are fixed, not every new update [01:28] usalabs: because LTS means gauranteed security updates, not feature updates. [01:29] ahhh ok [01:29] nd456: lspci | grep -i net [01:30] sooo, to get new feature updates, I would have to completely upgrade to the next version right? [01:30] http://paste.ubuntu.com/755578/ [01:31] usalabs: not necessarily [01:31] usalabs: but that might take the least amount of effort [01:31] nd456: ...didn't want to include the | grep -i net part? [01:31] reisio> sorry [01:32] * reisio shrugs [01:32] usalabs: The idea about LTS is having a stable platform. Introducing new features introduces new variables that need to be tested.

[01:47] oh [01:47] Nfisher: There's plenty of other ways to play youtube videos.. there are dedicated youtube players in the repos or you can download the video and play it in mplayer [01:47] seekwill: moodle has a web interface that's giving me that error (install.php) [01:48] soreau, minitube doesnt work for me either.. [01:48] pythonirc101: The module is installed, but it looks like you didn't configure moodle correctly.

[01:49] there is a minitube ppa that gives you the latest stable version and there is also gstreamer ppa, it may work for totem Nfisher [01:49] Nfisher: LTS doesn't mean edge software updates, it means Security updates ;) [01:50] so my enterprise has a public wifi and a private hidden one, and they overlap about 100%. how can i get nm to connect to the hidden one when it sees the public one [01:50] automagically [01:50] xangua, right but its not outdated === scorinitron is now known as Buster_Sonic === Buster_Sonic is now known as Buster_Sonic7986 [01:53] newbie, 11.10 in Unity: How does one approach accessing the shared files on a Mac?

[01:59] soreau: it might show your IP [01:59] blawiz some of the newer apps for versions high than Lucid maynot work, because of newer dependencies [01:59] freenode-applied hostmasks require identification [01:59] reisi: Did it just then? [01:59] soreau: nope [02:00] and it might not for hundreds of logins [02:00] until it does :P [02:00] great, cloke and sasl still works ;) [02:00] oh well if you're using sasl :p [02:00] It didn't work...

I've deleted the partition but now it will not let me resize my primary *mac partition* so now i have 50 GB in limbo how can i fix this [02:20] R3db3ard: there's a command you have to run after modifying that file [02:20] R3db3ard: update-grub, I think [02:20] ok i'll try [02:20] reisio, excuse me, the first in the main is in the wrong place, i see later this channel in the list [02:21] krabador: just saying :p [02:21] balistic22: Gparted? [02:21] can someone can help me with irc problem? [02:21] a1: ? [02:21] Jonta, how can i use gparted [02:21] balistic22: Googled it first? (: [02:21] Jonta, I'm currently on lion, you see i was attempting to install linux. I've used google, no luck lol [02:22] when i take from menu web/ chanells its start for few second i see chanels but then all system is stop and i need to off irc ap [02:22] balistic22, yeah i'd definitely read A LOT about it before you go tooling around in gparted [02:22] Jonta, all the solutions have failed im not too familiar with Terminal Terminology (no pun intended) [02:22] balistic22: Really? I googled how to use it just a couple of days ago, and came up with nice results [02:22] Jonta, it told me to download an app called ipartition [02:22] and i think i just screwed my self even more [02:22] how do i monitor my gpu temperature in ubuntu 11 [02:23] reisio? [02:23] balistic22: You can run GParted from a CD [02:23] you see my goal was to triple boot my computer and for some reason I have failed even through all the tutorials [02:23] balistic22, www.dedoimedo.com/computers/gparted.html [02:23] a1: your IRC client freezes your system? [02:23] yup [02:24] well then your system is buggy [02:24] argos20: Googled "monitor gpu temp ubuntu" and came up with promising results [02:24] it could be the IRC client or it could be one of its deps [02:24] or it could be a hardware issue [02:24] o, we misunderstand, only irc client is stop, system works fine [02:25] a1 what irc client? [02:25] irc xchat gnome [02:26] ok i am going to downlaod and install gparted [02:26] hmmm what version of linux? [02:26] it's a 110 MB!!! thats crazy [02:26] 10.04 [02:26] ubuntu [02:26] a1 have you considered irssi? [02:27] do you guys know the best way to triple boot a macbook pro [02:28] i have windows and lion installed via bootcamp but i can't seem to install the linux partition [02:28] balistic22: is there a best way to do something so silly? [02:28] I would probably use GRUB2 for booting them all [02:28] oooh [02:28] balistic22, pm me [02:28] i've done it b4 [02:28] if I were silly enough to try it [02:28] good idea, but i use irc only when i can't google anythin, and now i have problem with android update under ubuntu. i want go to #android, but i can't [02:28] reisio: haha! [02:29] nd456: figure it out? [02:29] anyone help with uninstalling this operating system [02:29] I am running ubuntu on an old system with low ram(1 Gigabyte). Any suggestions or articles to lower ram usage? [02:29] lalaland1125: 1g is plenty [02:29] reisio: ehh not yet... its on the mighty "ubuntu forms" [02:30] resisio: my haha was for your reply to the triple boot [02:30] Well cpu usage in general as well. Htop shows the CPU frequently maxing out. [02:30] enchilado: Ah, seems askubuntu.com is also an option (: [02:30] reisio, no need to be cynical im just trying to learn [02:31] learn what [02:31] any recommendations on a book/resource for a first time linux user (coming from years of windows)? [02:31] not to use mac [02:31] o_O [02:31] Jonta: uhm? [02:32] enchilado: The link I gave you [02:33] How can I find the DisplayPort's resolution of my Lenovo Thinkpad T420? It didn't say in the specs, I've searched the outputs of lshw, hdparm and dmidecode to no avail, and I can't test it atm. [02:33] Ubu 11.10. [02:33] sharpK: go to http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [02:34] sharpK: it contains 10.10 manual but still is useful for a new user.. welcome to ubuntu!! [02:34] Jonta: what screen size? [02:34] hi friends, how can i put the programm menu back to the program where it's belong? i am going nuts with the menu bar in the top [02:34] nd456: 14.0", 1600*900. That's the laptop. [02:35] Jonta: … what link? O_o [02:35] enchilado: Err.. didn't I refer you to askubuntu.SE? [02:35] Jonta: might ask ##ibmthinkpad [02:35] reisio: Did. [02:35] Jonta: why would you refer me there…? I haven’t even spoken in this channel today… [02:36] enchilado: My bad. nvm. (: [02:36] o_O [02:37] question: if a site list source(tar) and packages(zip) for download, is there a difference between them [02:37] Does anyone know a good git gui for gnome? I want something like TortiseSvn, with explorer integration etc. [02:38] lalaland1125: http://www.rabbitvcs.org/ [02:38] leo-unglaub: would you specify more about your problems? [02:39] quixotedon: well, you know the menu bar with every programm has...i need i back by the programm and not in the left corner disapering all the time [02:39] lalaland1125: git-gui, but I did see a webpage a few days ago that compared 4 or 5 and can't find it now... [02:39] i have two 26 monitors, i am going nuts here driving every time with the mouse up in the corner just to see the menu === Ziber_ is now known as Ziber [02:39] lalaland1125: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2011/11/26/graphical-git-clients-for-ubuntu/ [02:40] https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/archives/master [02:40] leo-unglaub: why not typing 'alt' button?? [02:40] leo-unglaub: latest ubuntu version comes with this feature, otherwise you might want to try unity-2D [02:40] leo-unglaub: or gnomeshell [02:40] leo-unglaub: sudo apt-get remove appmenu-gtk3 appmenu-gtk appmenu-qt [02:40] from the webupd8 oneiric tweak post [02:41] http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/things-to-tweak-after-installing-ubuntu.html [02:41] You can also disable the global menu without removing any package. See http://is.gd/z9fQgh [02:41] Thank you for the links [02:41] I am still trying to figure out some of the fine points of linux/ubuntu. I am supposed to put applications in /usr/bin, correct? But that is owned/grouped by root. And it seems if I create an Ubuntu Desktop Launcher that executes the command to run the file I get an error which I don't get when I use CLI and run the command under sudo. [02:41] xangua: thanks!! you rock!! :) [02:42] quixotedon: the gnomeshell sucks....i am working on my computer, not looking an cool desktop effects.... i am a linux oldscool user [02:42] xangua: thanks, you saved my day [02:43] leo-unglaub: xangua helps a lot [02:44] he is a gread gui :) [02:44] i we met sometimes, i buy you a beer [02:44] if we met [02:44] Beer license woo! [02:45] alter GLP the best license ever :) [02:45] GPL [02:45] damn typos :) [02:46] to install windows on a given partition, how do I create that partition ? [02:46] Emiru: GParted? [02:47] I guess this "application" is not what ubuntu would consider an application. its minecraft server which is a java file. Maybe my home directory is a better spot for it? [02:47] Jonta: oh right ! I never did this before, is it intuitive or do I really need a tutorial ? [02:48] Emiru: Meh, tutorial isn't really that complex. Have a look, and then a try (: [02:48] Jonta: All right thanks ! :) I need windows back for Comp science :P [02:48] maestrojed: Are you trying to install it, or trying to find it? [02:49] Jonta trying to figure out the best practices of where to put files like this. I initially was going to put it in /usr/bin but then I need to run it as root. Now I am thinking ~ but I would like to know where you or others would put it [02:50] Hm, standard is iirc 4 different places for bins [02:50] maestrojed: Personal programs should be places in /usr/local. There is a bin directory, lib directory, include directory etc [02:51] Jonta lalaland1125 ok, but even /usr/local/bin is owned/group by root [02:51] Sorry for this question, but I'm using Lubuntu; and I'm trying to figure out how to find my network information (ip, gateway, etc.) Can someone please enlighten me? [02:51] maestrojed: Use sudo and install. [02:51] Jonta lalaland1125 and it seems if I create a destop launcher for it that it won't work. Because I have not used sudo. [02:52] psychx-: clic on the network indicator and select Details [02:52] what is "/." btw? [02:52] lalaland1125 yeah, I know, I can run the server. I have been. I just feel like I have it in the wrong spot or don't get something because I can't create a launcher, etc. [02:52] I mean "./"...? [02:53] ./ is the current directory. [02:53] Aka . [02:53] xangua: I don't see any details option on the network indicator. It shows: Wired Connection 2, Disconnect, and VPN Connections. When I click on Wired Connection 2, it just refreshes (seems like its reconnecting to this connection) [02:53] lalaland1125 and this is specific. But I generally feel like I put stuff in the wrong place. I was putting stuff in /usr/bin, I will start using /usr/local/bin [02:53] maestrojed: Yeah, that would be the right place. [02:53] xangua: NVM, I figured it out. Thanks :) [02:53] lalaland1125 thx [02:54] maestrojed: YOu might also want to look into checkinstall to make a package from a regular 'make install' [02:54] psychx-: then try ifconfig on terminal [02:54] lalaland1125 I will look that up, thx [02:55] maestrojed: what is the name of the .jar? === Pwnstradamus is now known as bennis [02:57] xangua: I'm setting a static IP address. How do I know what "net mask" to use? I tabbed out of it and it defaulted to "24". [02:57] xangua: I already set my IP, Gateway, and DNS settings. [02:58] psychx-: if you don't know, 24 is good. [02:58] CarlFK: Ok, thank you! [02:58] psychx-: you would want a smaller number if there were 100's of machines on your lan [02:59] CarlFK: Oh, ok. I have probably about 9 or so devices using my lan. [02:59] what do you think about the Unity DE? Is it good or bad? [02:59] it is [02:59] unity discussion should go elsewhere [03:00] unless you're asking for help with it [03:01] psychx-: all the machines on your lan will be in the same IP range, the netmask defines that range. 2 boxes in the same range can send packets to each other, outside the range and they get sent to the gateway IP (router) [03:01] I created a package with alien. It only got through halfway installing [03:01] How do I remove it? [03:01] I tried purge from aptitude but it errors out [03:02] CarlFK: Ah, ok. Great to know. I have been experimenting with my network and have added a 2nd wireless router in the opposite side of my home so that I have great signal everywhere. But regardless, thanks for the info! [03:02] CarlFK minecraft_server.jar :) [03:02] :/ [03:04] Anyone? [03:04] how do I exectue an executable? The GUI says there is no application installed for executable file? [03:04] must I terminal? [03:04] sharpK: Depends on wm [03:05] heh, anyone can help me? i have problem with android update under ubuntu, #android is locked ( i canot join) [03:05] maestrojed: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Tutorials/Setting_up_a_server#Ubuntu [03:05] sharpK: In GNOME you can probably Alt+F2 it [03:05] a1: /msg nickserv help register [03:05] a1: /msg nickserv help identify [03:06] I created a package with alien. It only got through halfway installing. How do I remove it? I tried purge from aptitude but it errors out [03:06] a1: If you do what reisio said you will be creating and logging into an account on this server, and will be able to join that channel. [03:06] so has anyone else played with ubuntu on the beagleboard? [03:07] CarlFK yeah man, Thank you. I was just trying to figure out how files are organized in ubuntu. I gotta a better understanding now [03:07] hmm, saying permissiion denied when I just enter it into terminal and press enter [03:07] maestrojed: yeah, I thought there was a ppa that had the jar already packaged.. but maybe not. [03:07] even with chmod 544 [03:07] Has anyone replaced Empathy with Pidgin and gotten Pidgin integrated in Unity? [03:08] anyone has a link on how to install (safely) win7 from a 100% ubuntu hard drive ? [03:08] pidgin is the default in xubuntu [03:08] Emiru: as in Ubuntu takes up the entire hard disk? [03:08] reisio: yes ubuntu is the only os I have [03:09] CarlFK yeah, I was just trying to make a launcher for it, now I just wanna play so I stopped fudging with it and loaded it with good ole CLI :) [03:09] Emiru: you'd need to resize your Ubuntu partitions with something like gparted [03:09] Emiru: http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_resizing_ext3_partitions first [03:09] Emiru: which is fairly safe, but not 100% the safest thing ever [03:09] maestrojed: This is the general filesystem idea: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard [03:09] then install windows normally...then re-install grub [03:10] Emiru: to make some disk space to install Window to, at least 20GB [03:10] reinstalling grub: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [03:10] reisio: Im going to put it on 100gb aking1012: thanks for the link ! [03:10] Emiru: ah, then you won't even need to resize [03:10] Emiru: just install and reinstall grub [03:10] +1 [03:10] Emiru: oh wait did you mean 100gb _partition_? :p [03:10] yes then resizing :p [03:11] reisio: yeah :P [03:11] lalaland1125 nice, I always wondered why /etc was called /etc :) [03:11] How do you force remove a package? [03:11] but to reinstall grub im required to boot form boot-repair and on the link you sent me it said boot on a live CD [03:12] maestrojed: because et_cetera is too long [03:12] Emiru: your Ubuntu install CD [03:12] Emiru: yes just boot live/or whatever....then select rescue console and chroot during install process [03:12] reisio :) [03:12] hello. what's the terminal command to "safely remove" a USB drive, so that it is removed from nautilus' side pane? sudo umount /media/usbdrive unmounts, but it still remains in the side pane.. [03:13] it doesn't matter if it's in the side pane... [03:13] 'sync && umount /dev/whatever' [03:13] Question, I'm using a netbook with Gnome3 on it. The screen is too small for some windows, right now an install screen has the bottons obscured by the screen being small & I can't hit the next button... Any ideas on what to do? [03:13] use xfce instead of gnome [03:13] bc81: why not right click its entry in Nautilus? [03:13] aking1012 reisio: All good ! thanks guys ill do this now [03:13] bc81: showing as 'unmounted' or as mounted? [03:14] it just didn't refresh [03:14] df will show you if it's mounted [03:14] reisio, i'd like to incorperate this "safely remove" functionality into a script (for automation) [03:14] sync will force it to flush writes [03:14] Does anyone know the answer to my query? [03:15] Braden`: the answer is: what is your query [03:15] bc81: eject [03:15] he wants to 'safely' force remove a package [03:15] almoxarife: it's unmounted just fine...but with the "safely remove" function (nautils's side pane > right click device > safely remove) it disappears. [03:16] I dunno about safely [03:16] I just want it off the list [03:16] So it stops alerting me that a package failed to install everytime I run apt [03:16] CarlFK: eject does the same thing as umount, in that the device remains in nautilus' side pane (which i'd like to avoid for the purposes of the script [03:22] Auriga: generally you can alt+left-click the window and drag it around [03:23] Hi good evening from Spain, sorry for my little english! [03:24] Hello, I have audacious playing music, but when I switch to a tty it stops. How can I keep it playing? [03:24] Any know how to activate the active corners on ubuntu 11.10 withouth ubuntu tweak, only with compiz options? Thanks [03:29] why does conky show a see through of my log in screen underneath it .... [03:29] how can i exit the xserver to do a video driver update manually? and when i get out and run the driver installer, it pops up with this blue window with the ok option, ive done this int he past but can't remember what key i have to use to select ok with [03:29] any help would be much appreciated [03:29] godofmischief, tab? [03:29] x_ tried that, didn't seem to work maybe that is it tho idk. [03:30] x_: i had a problem either way cause the xserver was running when i did it, so that might work with the xserver shutdown [03:30] godofmischief: you mean, how to get to a virtual terminal and stop/start x? [03:31] i can run a virtual terminal with ctrl atl f2 and ctrl f7 switches back to my xserver session, so yes, once ive dropped down to a terminal mode how do i kill the running xserver [03:31] godofmischief: tab, left/right arrow keys, or space [03:31] godofmischief: either sudo service lightdm stop or s/lightdm/gdm/ [03:32] other then ps -A then kill ID [03:32] sudo init 3 should get you to not a gui....pretty sure ubuntu still launches X there though [03:32] thanks all of u, im about to drop back out and try that [03:34] why does conky show a see through of my log in screen underneath it .... === Maro|Away is now known as Maro__ === jussi01 is now known as Guest40168 [03:40] #Dirkocraft.com [03:44] in GParted, the "Resize-Move" option is darkened ?

[03:52] Qhat/what [03:54] Help please [03:54] what's up [03:54] naryfa: Well can you help with Ubuntu Server? [03:54] nope, nothing about servers [03:55] sowwy [03:55] !ask |jjjrmy [03:55] I don't have a gui or anything. [03:55] jjjrmy: what is the specific problem [03:55] How can I install Make 3.82 on Ubuntu 9.10? [03:56] somsip: I have no GUI and I need to put some php files on here and import a database. [03:56] But I don't know how. [03:56] jjjrmy: what access do you have to the machine? [03:56] somsip: sudo [03:56] Peablog, why [03:56] somsip: I just installed Ubuntu Server. [03:57] jjjrmy: do you have pysical access to it or is it a remote server? [03:57] 3.82 is really new [03:57] somsip: it's in my lap right now [03:57] somsip: Can we talk in PM? [03:57] is it not [03:57] jjjrmy: and where are the PHP files [03:57] on my FTP/Webserver [03:57] I need a offline server so I can show it at a presentation without wifi. [03:58] oh wait, it isn't, meh [03:58] from july [03:58] jjjrmy: have you setup the webserver software (usually Apache, PHP and MySQL)? [03:58] but it hasn't been put in debian sid yet [03:58] somsip: I just click LAMP. [03:58] To install a testing "The Mana World server", so I can contribute. [03:58] jjjrmy: and are they setup? [03:59] somsip: I don't know! [03:59] Peablog, why do you need make 3.82 for that [03:59] it's almost surely the case that 3.81 will be sufficient to build it [03:59] jjjrmy: do you have a text-based browser installed? links, lynx or others [04:00] somsip: Keeps saying "Couldn't find package links" when I try to install anything [04:00] it's inconceivable that the makefile will use features that are not included in 3.81 given that 3.82 released less than half a year ago, and 3.81 was the stable version for nearly five years [04:01] jjjrmy: so what stage are you actually at with this? It seems like you're well before the stage of being ready to copy PHP files over [04:01] somsip: The install said it's done. I'm on a black screen and logged into sudo. [04:01] jjjrmy: so what did you mean when you said [04:02] jjjrmy: ...Couldn't find package links? [04:02] I type in "sudo apt-get install cowsay" and it says "E: Couldn't find package cowsay [04:03] jjjrmy: and what is package cowsay? [04:03] its' for what apt-get moo [04:03] does [04:03] no packages work [04:04] jjjrmy: do you have internet connection? [04:04] When I get to the step "make" using these instructions: http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/How_to_Develop it fails with make 3.81-6 [04:04] somsip: I have wifi, yeah [04:04] jjjrmy: so all you have done is a virgin install of ubuntu server and that's as far as you've got? [04:05] anyone around [04:05] somsip: yeah [04:05] * imnichol is away: Away [04:05] Peablog, what's the error [04:05] jjjrmy: sudo apt-get update, what's the response? [04:06] did you run the step that it says to do if you have an older version of make [04:06] somsip: "Some index files failed to download..." [04:07] jjjrmy: can you connect to the internet?

[04:10] jjjrmy: ok - looks like you have an isue with the wifi connection which I know nothing about. i'm going to have to leave it to someone else [04:10] so is there any way to make networkmanager connect to an alternative network when it sees a particular one in the list, or do i need to get networkmanagerdispatcher to disconnect and then reconnect to the alternate one [04:10] jjjrmy: or does it have a wired network socket you can use? [04:11] somsip: no [04:11] sorry, let me try and be more clear. can i make network manager connect to HiddenNetwork whenever it sees PublicGuestNetwork [04:12] jjjrmy: I'm guessing that ubuntu-server has different support for wireless compared to desktop edition. No idea. I know nothing wireless. So you'll need to get someone else on this for you [04:12] hi all, how can i make ubuntu authenticate to an LDAP Server(389 DS) [04:12] rigel: terms you'd want are wardriving and piggybacking, AIUI [04:12] i am going to be using networkmanagerdispatcher anyhow to automatically set up my tunnels, but i cant figure out how to do that [04:12] reisio: wat? [04:12] i am not wardriving [04:12] rigel: sounded like you wanted to be [04:13] i simply cant get networkmanager to automatically connect to my work's hidden network [04:13] ah [04:13] how can I have a terminal as a desktop background im on xfce. [04:13] so i want to tell it that whenever it sees GuestNetwork, it should instead connect to HiddenNetwork [04:13] because the guest wifi is public [04:13] also slow as balls [04:14] x_: your nick is unhelpfully short :p [04:14] and has a javascript TOU page [04:14] hi all, how can i make ubuntu authenticate to an LDAP Server(389 DS) [04:14] x_: you'd probably have to stop xfdesktop from running [04:14] sorry, let me try and be more clear. can i make network manager connect to HiddenNetwork whenever it sees PublicGuestNetwork [04:15] reisio, is that a good idea? === phrosty is now known as phrostbite [04:15] x_: if you don't use xfdesktop [04:15] can't imagine you would if you want to cover the desktop in a terminal [04:15] all it does is manages the wallpaper, icons, right-click menu [04:15] stuff you probably wouldn't be using [04:16] x_: Settings > Session and Startup > Session (tab) > xfdesktop - Restart Style: Never [04:17] Am I suposed to do this all at once useing all the characters including the {} ? mkdir -p obj/{common,login,char,map,ladmin,tool} [04:17] Peablog: probably [04:18] Peablog: no doubt tells it to make each of those dirs [04:18] probably a Bash thing [04:18] reisio: zactly [04:18] reisio, http://imageshack.us/f/717/screenshot1130201111170.png/ is what I wan't it to look like. but with the left being part of the desktop, but I can just use it this way with a terminal resized if it's alot easier. what will killing xfdesktop do exactly ? [04:18] somsip: knower of things! [04:18] Is it possible to use C imports (gtk 3) in C++? [04:18] x_: cute [04:18] reisio: misplaced flattery... :) [04:18] I'm using the G++ compiler [04:18] Question all about gnome-classic (using fluxbox now, won't be able to test): I have multiple workspaces set up (from 11.04 when I upgraded to 11.10, thinking it was a bad idea now.. >.>), but when I try and move a window to a different workspace (either by dragging or ctrl+alt+shift+arrow), it goes over, the screen flickers, then I see the empty workspace and switching back to the other one shows that my window is still over there [04:19] reisio, sort of... do you notice how on my conky the login screen of all things is bleeding through ? [04:19] x_: as I said, it will keep Xfce from managing the desktop for wallpapers, icons, and its right-click menu (on the desktop) [04:19] x_: things you probably won't want [04:19] can't make it out on that shrunken image [04:19] Is it possible to use C imports (gtk, webkit) in C++ using the g++ compiler? [04:19] I think imageshack resizes uploads by default now, you have to uncheck the box [04:20] reisio: have you had an issue with binary drivers crashing on pre-alpha? [04:20] Anyone have ideas? [04:20] reisio, it's like the dots from the login screen.. if I had it on the left. it would show ubuntu 11.10 like the login screen is under my desktop but conky shows it.... [04:20] Anyone? [04:20] aking1012: don't use Ubuntu much, ask the channel, or better yet explain what problem YOU have had [04:21] i have 11.10; i'm plugged in via ethernet. how do i create a wireless network that allows other devices to connect (and share) my connection? [04:21] hi, I thought I would try openbox desktop. The file manager Thunar, has no Icons. How do I fix that? [04:21] arooni-mobile: sure your hardware does that? [04:21] er...on pre-alpha AMD/ATI drivers don't properly save settings if you EVER log in to the gnome3 desktop...works fine as long as you don't touch ubuntu's custom er...stuff(and that's a kinder word than i would like to use) [04:22] detrix42: openbox is just a window manager [04:22] detrix42: Thunar is Xfce's file manager, Xfce gets its desktop icons from xfdesktop [04:22] detrix42: you might need gnome2 components for icons. [04:22] detrix42: you might want to use something lighter [04:22] like um... [04:22] detrix42: nvmind, listen to someone else. :P [04:22] idesk [04:22] reisio, dont know; have Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 and gigabit ethernet [04:23] if i have dbg version of library, how i can tell to executable use it instead of non-dbg? [04:23] xaka: you compiling said executable yourself, or not? [04:24] cipherboy: not, it's provided by ubuntu repos [04:24] xaka: not sure then. [04:24] i remember there was something like LD_xxx=xxx, but i forgot [04:25] reisio, any idea what would cause a program to show parts of the login screen though? [04:25] the lightdm login screen? [04:26] hi [04:26] x_: slowness? can get windows to show previous windows (different workspaces) when computer is running slowly [04:26] robinsch: hi [04:26] robinsch: hello [04:26] cipherboy, what do you mean slowness? [04:26] oh [04:26] x_ most people probably don't have slow computers. >.> Sorry, have to drop [04:26] cipherboy, but it's running fine! just conky shows parts of the login screen.

I've got my graphics all working with i915 and a few kernel options e.g. i915.semaphores=1 amongst others for power management. Now my only issue with graphics is that I can't seem to get WebGL working properly. I've attached output from `$ sudo lspci -k` here (https://gist.github.com/b8c83d2ee0ed841b79af) and I've already followed instruc [04:31] tions for enabling WebGL using Chrome's `about:flags` section (e.g. enable webgl on unsupported graphics cards).

So I ran some updates last Friday, and after reboot my block device in ./dev/ was removed thus destroying my FStab mapping.

I've logged in, but don't see a way to actually tell it to play [04:52] yeah unless you're doing real low level stuff, a VM should be fine [04:52] reisio: well, they sell their on computer so they try to make you buy it (which I never will D:) [04:53] and that computer has win7 so they want win7 for the rest too [04:53] Emiru: remember it needs 20GB to install (though it doesn't actually take up that much space) [04:53] Emiru: rofl, of course [04:53] fullscreen VirtualBox looks the same as installed to metal :p [04:53] Emiru: course if you're doing compilation it'll take longer virtualized [04:54] reisio: Yeah im going to put enough space for it, but Im not sure if all the softwares Ill need will be available on ubuntu [04:54] Emiru: equivalents will be, but they'll probably make you use awful things [04:54] reisio: I think we start with Java, C#, web dev and thats about it [04:55] Emiru: well Ubuntu has those [04:55] Emiru: but they might make you learn proprietary nonsense [04:55] reisio: any change u could take a peak at my earlier msg?

[05:46] Immediately upon pushing enter, once the kernel and initial ramdisk areloaded, I get a blackscreen, and the system proceeds to boot. [05:46] I can even hear it log itself into the desktop. [05:46] I tried forcing the framebuffer to turn off with fb=false, as well as forcing VGA mode boot with vga=normal, to no avail. [05:47] I deleted all the files caused by a faulty package install. apt still reports that its partially installed (which is incorrect). How do I remove it from apt? [05:47] I have Slackware, Debian, SuSE, Fedora, and a few others installed, NONE of them exhibit this behavior. [05:47] Hephaestus|Wins, try deactivating acpi with "noacpi" [05:47] Did it. No effect. [05:47] if I'm using ubuntu, am I supposed to download generic or debian software? [05:48] Hello, I am having problems with ubuntu the latest release with my external monitor it keeps blanking on me its not turning off it just blanks like a black screen I have to replug it in in order to get it back and I have all the screen savers dim off and power management off anybody have any ideas? [05:48] i believe it to be an issue with kernel-mode DRM [05:48] as Knoppix exhibits this behavior unless i specify nodrm on the kernel commandline. [05:49] Enter text here... [05:49] Question is: How do I forcibly turn off DRM? I can see no boot options in the documentation that disable kernel mode DRM [05:49] and possibly kernel modesetting. [05:49] is ubuntu generic or debian? [05:49] hi [05:50] what is this place???????????????// [05:50] I run Linux Debian on VirtualBox :) [05:50] I deleted all the files caused by a faulty package install. apt still reports that its partially installed (which is incorrect). How do I remove it from apt? [05:50] this is irc hell [05:50] welcome [05:50] yes [05:50] lol [05:50] irc distracts me from so much actual work [05:51] Cambodia chat using Mibbit is much better [05:51] please give me any link with tutorial for linux DOS :) [05:51] i'm using x-chat now on ubuntu [05:51] linuxdos? lol. [05:52] yes [05:52] linux commands... [05:53] Terminal [05:53] administartor: it's BASH [05:53] bash? not batch? [05:55] wow. [05:55] Hello, I am having problems with ubuntu the latest release with my external monitor it keeps blanking on me its not turning off it just blanks like a black screen I have to replug it in in order to get it back and I have all the screen savers dim off and power management off anybody have any ideas? [05:55] ubuntu's wiki is worthless lol [05:55] has 0 information. [05:55] just a bunch of press bs [05:56] tried the archwiki? [05:56] i'm using the external monitor now on 11.10 [05:56] how is one supposed to find information if there exists no central place for ubuntu info? o.O [05:56] haven't had any problems in about 4 hours [05:56] zomgattax, what did you do to fix it? [05:56] let me rephrase [05:57] I deleted all the files caused by a faulty package install. apt still reports that its partially installed (which is incorrect). How do I remove it from apt? [05:57] sorry this is Bash :) [05:57] i haven't had any problems at all [05:57] my external monitor is blanking for some reason [05:57] i've tried google [05:57] did you try a new monitor cable? === Maro|Away is now known as Maro__ [05:57] no the one I have works fine [05:57] sn00p: how do you mean replug? The power cable or the display cable? [05:57] Effex, display cable [05:58] something doesn't work right lol, start with cables [05:58] then blame software [05:58] Does the monitor work with any other PC you have around? [05:58] are you using thirdparty graphics drivers? [05:58] Effex, yep [05:58] tell me how to configure the openvpn,I have already installed network-manager openvpn === brennan_ is now known as zomgattax [05:59] Then it could be a drivers issue, are your drivers up to date?

[06:00] only an uninformed twat would still spread the FUD that AMD's driver platform on Linux is somehow inferior to that of NVIDIA. [06:00] @zomgattax [06:00] the thing I dont know that how to unzip the openvpn configuration file to the configuration folder [06:01] Hephaestus|Wins, just a common opinion in one of my regular channels :p [06:01] how to remove a package that has been incompletely installed?:) [06:02] i cant get my ipod to upload its music to rhythbox music player? === zomgattax is now known as BrennanHitchcock [06:02] "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find crti.o: No such file or directory" while compiling gcc, Linux kcm1700-VirtualBox 3.0.0-13-generic #22-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 2 13:27:26 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [06:03] after upgrading to 11.10 my maudio ozone (usb sound device) is not outputting any sound. i tried googling and following a sound guide to no avail [06:03] helpme [06:03] vp: type this in terminal sudo dpkg --configure -a [06:04] I can't get gcc compiled on Ubuntu.

[06:05] the device shows up in sound preferences but doesn't output [06:06] chambakka: Package KPPP is incompletely installed [06:06] vp: if u remember it then run it again [06:06] seanzy: or it may be somthing trivial. [06:06] it worked before the updrage, so it was probably one of the packages it deleted [06:06] seanzy: does a live cd work [06:06] i select scane removable media and my ipod makes a noise but nothing [06:07] vp: try this too in terminal apt-get install -f [06:07] i don't have a live cd [06:07] sew [06:07] seanzy: that would be a good test.

[06:09] dr_willis, do u know hw to unzipp the configuration file to openvpn configuration folder [06:09] seanzy: that its not a kernel change issue [06:10] chambakka: use the unzip command. or unp comand perhaps [06:10] ok i'll try a live cd [06:10] dr_willis, but i dont know where the openvpn folder is situated [06:11] seanzy: if it works. check the midules loaded. and sound settings also. [06:11] chambakka: neither do i..

[06:14] in terminal [06:14] erm [06:14] is it remove or uninstall [06:15] Resistance: just doing that [06:15] well... its one of those :P [06:15] * dr_willis uses locate quite often [06:15] chambakka: /etc/openvpn [06:15] * Resistance has a very overly-modified aptitude he uses to run installations [06:16] dr_willis, yeah? [06:16] dr_willis, its got to be one of the best programs for *finding stuff* on the hard drive [06:16] at least, imo [06:16] Package kppp is not installed, so not removed [06:17] VP, how did you initially install it? [06:17] bbl [06:17] a local .deb not necessarily in the repos? [06:19] does --reinstall not work? [06:19] i think they tried that [06:21] VP, can you possibly try this: sudo dpkg --remove [06:22] i hate using dpkg directly, but sometimes it workds [06:22] works* [06:22] In vim, how would I get it to delete a whole line if it finds a pattern?

[06:23] somsip: It only replaces the pattern, not the line [06:23] Braden`: ah, no. You want the whole line to be deleted if a sub=pattern is found.. [06:24] Braden`: yup - ic [06:24] Aye [06:24] VP, ouch you're kind of screwed then [06:24] VP, what ubuntu?

[06:53] reisio: ill do that [06:53] reisio: thanks, will try WinFF [06:54] wiff is handy. it can even show the ffmpeg commands its using [06:54] arista is also a handy alternative to winff === barna is now known as bipul [06:56] id still like to find an easy way to apply audacity's background noise removal to a video file. i got like 200 home movies to clean up. [06:57] I need to backup temporarily about 60gb or so of data from one ubuntu machine to another sitting right next to one another.. is there anything that may be faster than rsync? [06:57] I suppose I could do this real fast if I took both machines apart and put both drives in the same machine but I know from experience my netbook has to be totally disassembled to get to the HDD and thats just a lot of work [06:58] dr_willis: someone in #ubuntustudio can probably help you with that. [06:58] a netbooks hd is also normally of the slower type also. so it may not be that much faster [06:58] though now that I think about it I may just do that anyhow so I can do all the repartitioning and crap in one fail swoop [06:58] pangolin: yea. its going tobe my holiday project it seems. ;) [06:59] cool, make sure to write up some easy to follow instructions for me :) [06:59] i was suprised how well audacity cleaned up the audio. [06:59] I'm not sure how well this will turn out as the attempt to repartition to install ubuntu failed twice.. the drive may have some physical damage [06:59] hence why I am trying to offload the data and wipe it entirely [07:00] I'm just in the mess of currently having ubuntu on a 5gb partition that was the restore partition.. and thats just a mess [07:01] makes life real difficult.. my next best idea was to link/bind most of the stuff to the larger partition I had debian on [07:01] nvz: my main ubuntu install is on a 32gb flash drive ;) [07:01] yeah well, until I make enough money to get new hardware I just want to use ubuntu on there and have access to my whole drive without constantly running out of space [07:02] thinking of buying something from avadirect.. not sure what yet.. and so far have no budget for it [07:02] waiting to get a ssd for xmas. wonder if i can then dd this flash to the ssd. never had a ssd befor [07:03] I'm obviously too tired/lazy to do anything right now so I think I'll just handle this task tomorrow and take the hdd out and put it into the desktop.. and hope for the best [07:03] I know there is a possibility all the reformatting and crap will toast the drive if it is in fact failing due to physical damage [07:04] put it out of its misery. [07:04] I was going to go with installing to an SD card since the netbook is getting old and falling apart.. but its a hardware hotplug pcie card reader that isnt supported by the bios [07:05] its the only machine I own right now and have no money.. so I gotta deal with it until I make the money to buy something new and actually decide on something new [07:05] all I know so far is that I want nvidia graphics, don't want to pay for windows because I dont intend to ever use it, and would like the ability to charge stuff via USB without the machine on === ericm-afk is now known as ericm|ubuntu [07:06] kinda torn on how much I wanna spend upfront.. cause most the machines on avadirect are easily upgradable.. and I wanna try keep the budget low at first and upgrade as needed [07:07] how can i access dot files/folders in unity using nautilus ? [07:08] jita: select show hidden files from the view/edit menu wherever that is [07:08] I think ctrl+h is a shortcut for that [07:08] jita ctrl-h I think [07:09] thanks pooky, nvz [07:10] i can charge my usb stuff from my desk clock. ;) it has 2 usb ports [07:11] laptop has oe of those usb charge ports.. took me a while to figure out how my mouse light was on with the laptop off... [07:12] yeah well thats what I want as in the past couple years this netbook has slowly become an over priced battery charger for devices I use more often [07:12] and it kills the battery too fast having the machine running when all I use it for is a backup battery for other devices [07:13] its usually not an advertised feature though which is annoying [07:13] I'm fairly certain the macbook air does it which is what I was thinking of getting for my next machine [07:13] but thats when the air still had nvidia.. and I wrote off paying for OSX as I am not very familiar with it and could stand to learn it just in case.. [07:14] but truth is I really dont want OSX either, nor do I want ATI graphics [07:14] and the damn air is like 1100 or more, and for that price I can get way more hardware from somewhere like avadirect [07:15] they have laptops that support like 3 sata drives in RAID 5, with 12gb of ram or more for that price.. heh [07:17] my big laptop with 2 sata and a 18.4 lcd is nice... and heavy.. nasty heavy [07:17] hey can someone show me how to access ubuntu pastbin history [07:17] yesterday pasted some stuff which i want to look at again === xjounix is now known as joUNIX [07:18] FreeWilly: try the history command? but that wont show the url.

LoCo channels are now logged there too; for older LoCo channel logs, see http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [07:18] chennel logs may help [07:19] browser history feature may help also [07:20] Whenever I mount a NFS share on the client the UID shows up as a bunch of random numbers; is this normal? [07:20] dr_willis: thanks, but sjoe how do i know which one under yesterdays date is #ubuntu's history?? [07:21] dr_willis: sox? [07:21] reisio: sox? ;) i got some nice wool sox on.. [07:22] FreeWilly: no idea. i raly look at the channel logs [07:22] sjoe [07:22] dr_willis: for noise removal [07:23] dr_willis: probably have to separate audio & video first, then smash back together afterwards [07:23] with ffmpeg/mencoder/mplayer [07:23] reisio: i saw mention of that. wondered if it does as good a job as audacity does [07:23] I think you are the man to test it! [07:24] item # 204 on my todo list [07:24] anyone else maybe know if ubuntu pastebin keeps history? [07:24] $ wc -l lists/todo \n667 lists/todo [07:24] and I believe that is only since this new computer [07:25] FreeWilly: it'd probably be easier to find it via the three methods people already mentioned [07:25] eHAPPY: certainly doesnt sound normal to me, but I've only dabbled, I dont use nfs on a regular basis [07:25] the 'history' command, your browser's history, and the IRC channel logs [07:25] although unless you made these pastebins fairly recently, they might be gone [07:26] postfix virtual host pam(user@domain): pam_authenticate() failed: User not known to the underlying authentication module [07:27] found it reisio [07:27] thanks [07:28] anyone know NFS well? === Jay is now known as Guest2887 === Guest78115 is now known as jussi01 [07:29] all i know on nfs i learned from !nfs [07:30] !nfs [07:30] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [07:30] ah yes that guide; it sadly is lacking [07:30] all I learned about anything is fairly useless when I'm in chronic pain and my brain is foggy.. heh [07:30] * Bubba likes need for speed [07:30] last i used nfs. my gid/gid was the same on the nfs shares [07:31] yes it always agreed for me as well [07:31] certainly sounds off [07:31] yeh i tried uid/gid but there is a pretty bad bug if you overlap it seem [07:31] s [07:31] essentially if i have ehappy:root and root:ehappy you can get root:root [07:34] 大家好 [07:35] ypsjd: hi [07:35] 有人在ubuntu10.04里面安装了ibm lotus notes吗 [07:35] hi.

[07:46] it does, just when i add the "Copy" and "Paste" under custom shortcuts [07:47] then it doesn't seem to work correctly [07:47] you have noticed you can normally select, and middle click to copy/paste ;) [07:47] WebGoddess008: in that nothing happens? [07:47] ahh okay [07:48] well i set Copy to "New" and "Paste" to "SunOpen" in the shortcuts [07:48] WebGoddess008: keyboard shortcuts are usually combinations (more than 1 key); you'd otherwise want to alter the keymap [07:48] still, it should allow it [07:48] auronandace: are you saying it doesn't? [07:48] yah just not wanting to spend tons of time on it lol [07:48] got work to do and all that jazz lol [07:48] i suppose i can just use the mouse for now ;) [07:49] 1110 is quite nice though...good job to all of ya'll who worked on it <3 [07:49] reisio: i'm guessing, i've never come across a shortcut that simply changed the function of an already existing single key [07:49] well m$ keyboard has the "help" "undo" "redo" "new" "open" etc keys [07:50] auronandace: so no [07:50] so on windoze i can use intellitype to remap "new" to copy and "open" to paste [07:50] lol [07:50] WebGoddess008: find the Compiz Config Settings Manager [07:50] not trying to be nitpicky just efficient ;) [07:50] WebGoddess008: look for the Unity tab [07:51] dpkg -L compizconfig-settings-manager | grep bin [07:51] oh okay thanks reisio [07:51] not sure what width options are available [07:51] as yet [07:51] I'm sure in the future, blah blah [07:53] awesome :) [07:53] how do you think the linux mint [07:53] set it to 32 vs 48 now i can add more silly-icons lol [07:53] cool [07:53] <333 [07:53] WebGoddess008: the go side by side? [07:53] they* [07:53] lovelp: it's a green themed Ubuntu (which is a brown/purple/orange themed Debian) [07:54] how stable is compiz? it said online there were "bugs"...trying to avoid "bugs" lol [07:54] well it's a fairly old package [07:54] and fairly enduring [07:55] I was just reading that the settings manager isn't particularly stable :p [07:55] which is fairly typical (helper apps being less stable) [07:55] cool, so if i tweak stuff on here i'm not gonna end up with a borked unity dashbar? ;) [07:55] dont go crazy with the plugins. ;) or in ccsm [07:55] well [07:55] lol [07:55] if you do you'd probably only have to move ~/.config/ or the like [07:55] to get back to defaults [07:55] i'll just stick to the basics, i'm cool w/the dashbar icons @32px and the auto-hide [07:56] you can reset unity and compiz via simple command line commands [07:56] ok cool [07:56] I'm using a trackpad on 11.10, but it doesn't feel as "forgiving" as on OSX. For example, I would go to click on Firefox to change focus then move the cursor down to click a link. The system though I wanted to select the whole page. How can I fix this? [07:56] how do i claim a wireless driver? hardware driver says activated but not in use [07:56] i've been using debian for a long time but haven't used ubuntu in several years [07:56] will_: sorry rephrase? [07:56] sporto: you want to put a flag in it, or do something else? === tfilipczuk is now known as makaka [07:57] yah im interested in OSX lion just no $ atm to try it out...my apple equip is old lol [07:57] reisi: On my trackpad, I'm looking to disable the "tap to click" feature. [07:58] if i can get everything i need working on ubuntu then i'll use it as my desktop [07:58] reisio: flag? i wanna use it lol, i tried to "touch" it and restart but no change, wireless doesn't show up in nm-applet either [07:58] will_: don't know much about that, but it seems to come up a lot: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22tap%20to%20click%22%20site%3Aubuntuforums.org [07:59] reisi: hehe, thanks. I was actually just Googling that once I put it into clearer, more Google-able words :) [07:59] sporto: is it a module? [08:00] will_: that's what they all say... [08:00] will_: ...right before doing so! [08:00] reisi: hah! But you made me rethink how to phrase it :) Anyways. Looks like my system doesn't think it's a touchpad... [08:00] ah, that'd be confusing [08:01] reisio: i think so, i had to and a funky ppa to get the driver via synaptic [08:01] how do i configure my old monitor resolution in 11.10 is there a xorg.conf for monitor ? [08:01] add^ [08:01] oh, good fun === perilouspillow is now known as maverickpi [08:02] or does ubuntu works with a resgistry ? [08:02] fesafder I do not think so [08:03] fesafder what I think though is that get all the updates for Ubuntu, then do a hardware scan and your config for the monitor will go easily [08:03] the monitor has 25 years now [08:04] i know the refresh rates [08:04] fesafder: App/ System/ hardware drivers [08:04] Try that [08:05] der: App/ System/ hardware drivers is that a path in / [08:05] hi, I still have mplayer playing videos super fast and with no sound :( [08:05] any idea what I could do to fix this?

[08:07] reisio, should I switch it to alsa somehow? [08:08] shomon: I would suspect your pulse config, yeah [08:08] ralink wireless driver in lucid [08:08] hmm, can I reset it to zero somehow? [08:08] like back to factory config? [08:08] if that applies with ubuntu [08:09] ikonia: my wireless driver is "unclaimed" [08:10] (ubuntu 11.10) hi. I can't use resolutions higher than 1280x1024 with "00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)". In addition, I had to boot with "nomodeset" (otherwise I saw only a black screen) [08:10] any suggestions for fixing my pulse config reisio ? [08:11] sorry don't know anything about pulse [08:11] except that I've never needed it [08:11] so... how do I get rid of it? Do you recommend that, or do you just never watch videos? [08:12] plenty of tuts for getting rid of it [08:12] ok will look that up [08:12] i get ubuntu 10.11 is a misterious a W....... no more editable config file [08:12] http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-change-display-resolution-settings-using-xrandr.html [08:12] Display matters [08:16] thx for xandr but i see less &less difference with windows now [08:17] i guess matter of time will should we can have the source.

[08:34] not using it at the moment [08:35] heh, who does? :) [08:35] for some fkd up reason my login screen on a fresh 11.10 install has changed my keyboard layout from Swedish dvorak to english qwerty.. so now I can't type my password which consists of various unicode characters.. in earlier ubuntu versions I could select the layout before logging in (at login screen).. is this still possible or is this install fubard? [08:35] <[dlp]> Hi guys. [08:36] arvut: i tried it at the start but to many driver issues [08:36] arvut: login to command prompt, then change your password to something that only contains qwerty characters? [08:36] <[dlp]> I'm having a bit of an issue with my apt database,.. there appear to be two of each package as seen within aptitude. [08:36] arikel: ^ [08:36] !text ! arvut [08:36] somsip: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [08:36] !text | arvut [08:36] arvut: 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 [08:36] <[dlp]> And it's causing conflicts and breakages. [08:37] <[dlp]> I don't see any duplicate entries in sources.list [08:37] I just wanted to say, I bought a Netgear USB wifi adapter (WNA1100) and it was plug and play :) [08:38] In Ubuntu 10.04.3 the X server crashed. May be there crashed more yet. I obtained the error message: "init: plymouth-stop prestart process (1362) terminated with status 1".

[08:39] <[dlp]> Also, there's nothing in sources.list.d === Apple is now known as Derpy === Derpy is now known as Apple [08:40] <[dlp]> And I've deleted the contents of /var/lib/apt/lists and rebuilt them. [08:41] <[dlp]> I don't know the workings of apt that well, so if anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them. [08:43] Hello === joo is now known as Guest14094 [08:43] are you saying ubuntu is too stupid to load the correct drivers for swe dvorak keyboard layout? I had no issues logging in last time, I did update the OS tho and then rebooted. seriously this is a situation no regular user would want to be in. I'm glad I know how to manually change pw, but others might not be as fortunate.. what if a user has ö, ä, å (or any other language-specific character) in their pw that they can normally type with their keyboard, a [08:44] !enter | [dlp] [08:44] [dlp]: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [08:44] <[dlp]> Sorry. [08:45] Eletels: hi [08:45] <[dlp]> I can see why, especially in a noisy channel. [08:45] Whats up [08:45] arvut: I'm giving you a solution. I'm not concerned about the other issues, personally [08:47] arvut: though there may be some benefit in rasing a bug [08:47] somsip: its a solution for a rather experienced linux user, yes. but this is a serious issue. I'm not filing a bugreport on it as I'll go back to gentoo and fedora instead. done with ubuntu. [08:47] [dlp]: It appears that you are not an advanced Ubuntu user. My advice: Backup your /home directory's content and re-install Ubuntu 11.10 [08:47] and I ty, but its not enough. [08:47] <[dlp]> bullguard6: Not an option. [08:47] hello! does anybody can tell me how to run CheckGmail with patch described here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/checkgmail/+bug/851553 or maybe there is some good alternative for CheckGmail? [08:47] Launchpad bug 851553 in checkgmail (Ubuntu) "checkgmail does not login: Unable to find gmail_ik" [Undecided,Confirmed] [08:49] what could be that I have no syslog on /var/log/syslog === Eletels is now known as Efrit999 [08:49] another solution: login as guest session, switch user to sudoers account and you will have the layout back to normal. this is still a serious issue though [08:50] <[dlp]> bullgard6: And you are making this assumption only on the basis that I don't know the package management system too well, which seems somewhat presumptuous, don't you think? [08:50] [dlp]: that bug is a known issue [08:51] [dlp]: it has been reported a few times, [08:51] [dlp]: it seems more common with apptitude [08:52] [dlp]: it is actually not a problem though and will not stop any functionality, just a visual thing [08:52] <[dlp]> ikonia: I did my best to search for known issues, but didn't find anything relevant. Is there a solution? [08:52] <[dlp]> ikonia: I see. [08:52] [dlp]: (or at least shouldn't cause you a problem) [08:52] [dlp]: I'm not aware of a solution as of yet, but it has been reported quite a few times [08:54] Anyone knows a little bit exciting rooms... [08:54] maybe somebody can tell how to install this package http://packages.debian.org/unstable/mail/checkgmail ? or Ubuntu doesnt support debian pkg? [08:54] Efrit999: this channel is only for ubuntu support discussion please. [08:54] SoWhat: don't install debian packages on ubuntu [08:54] is there a way to decide, what network traffic should go through a vpn connection and what traffic should use the normal network connection? [08:55] ikonia: okay, tnx [08:55] <[dlp]> ikonia: In that case, I might be looking at another problem as well. For example, there are two versions of libasound2 that appear to be the same version, but some packages depend on one and some the other, but they conflict. [08:55] Benkinooby: you'll need a reasonable routing table [08:55] [dlp]: sorry, could you explain a bit clearer === michael is now known as Guest64087 === Guest64087 is now known as bromichaelhenry [08:56] ikonia, so it will be difficult to make das decision on a application layer... like running firefox over normal internet and thunderbird over vpn... or even one ff-window over vpn and the other over normal connection [08:56] Benkinooby: that would be exceptionally complex [08:56] Benkinooby: you couldn't even do that with a routing table, you'd have to try to use something such as iptables [08:57] hi all [08:58] hi === Amr0d_ is now known as Amr0d [08:58] ikonia, i guess i am not the first one with that kind of interest... if some1 is connected to his company via vpn i'm sure not all information should run over the companys network... [08:58] vpn is normally a secure connection, so once you connect, you are locked out of your other connection [08:59] <[dlp]> Ok... in this case, I'm trying to install skype. When I mark it for installation aptitude reports 59 breaks, the only available solution being to keep all 59 packages (including Skype itself) at current version (UNINST). But when I inspect to see why these packages have to remain uninstalled, I find it's because a conflicting version of the same package is installed. [08:59] of skype? [09:00] [dlp]: could you please do "sudo apt-get update" and pastebin the output [09:01] can somebody tell me how to add programs to menu in left? [09:02] ikonia, looking at my routes (didn't mod then) i have routes for eth0 and tun0... [09:02] Benkinooby: yes you will have [09:02] is there theme's in ubuntu 11.10 unity? [09:02] Benkinooby: that is correct [09:02] <[dlp]> ikonia: http://pastebin.com/EKesJ9Dc [09:02] i know somethings changed that makes 11.04 backwards incompatible with 11.10? [09:02] zabomber: what ? [09:04] ikonia: im running unity... what theme'ing engine/theme sets/repo's can i use to change the themes? [09:04] [dlp]: do you have backports enabled [09:04] ikonia, hm... using wireshark i only see ESP traffic... so no normal lan traffic [09:04] none of the 11.04 and old works... [09:04] Benkinoob: tried tcpdump? [09:04] with grep [09:05] <[dlp]> ikonia: Yes. [09:05] zabomber, wireshark does the same job as tcpdump [09:05] [dlp]: you may actually have conflicting packages then [09:06] <[dlp]> ikonia: Aha, now we're getting somewhere. Let me remove backports and update... [09:06] hi [09:06] hi [09:09] [dlp]: it may be (hopefully not) too late if any of the backport packages have been installed and a conflict created [09:11] Hi. How can I import a CA File into Pidgin? [09:11] <[dlp]> ikonia: No, there are still problems, by the looks of things. [09:12] [dlp]: I'm not massivly shocked by that [09:14] <[dlp]> ikonia: In that case, I'll have to decide which is the lesser of two evils in terms of either reinstalling the system or learning about the package management system in enough detail to fix the problems. [09:14] [dlp]: well it depends on the conflict [09:16] how to set which aplication opens which files by default? [09:17] <[dlp]> ikonia: The main problem is that I've got a fair bit of technically unsupported software "installed" outside package management. I had to make a lot of tweaks to get these working, hence the reason I'm reluctant to reinstall. I'd have to go through the whole process again. [09:22] Good morning all. I'm working on getting samba4 working with named which is workign thus far except that bind doesn't seem to have a driver. I'm trying to load the samba dns configuration with an include file, which does point to the right file and its getting loaded, but i get an error: "unsupported DLZ database driver 'dlopen'. " any clues? [09:23] hi [09:24] /msg NickServ identify shijida [09:24] join #ubuntu-cn [09:24] ypsjd, wrong channel. Might want to change that pass as well now. [09:26] hey guys i have ubuntu 10.04 and I installed "pdftk" version 1.41 ,but there is a know bug in this and that's why i downloaded pdftk version 1.44.deb , when i try to install this deb package i get the error Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libgcj11 (>= 4.4) [09:26] Any idea what i should do now ?\ [09:27] pratz, that file needs a dependency which isn't yet in the ubuntu repo's. You'll have to find it manually [09:27] s3r3n1t7: but if that has another dependency and if the dependencies goes recursive , should i manually install all that stuff ? [09:28] pratz, it's the only way to get that newer version you want installed === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [09:29] s3r3n1t7: but libgcj11 depends on 11 other dependencies, then even i need to install them too (manually ) [09:29] s3r3n1t7: correct ? [09:30] pratz, correct. If you want a newer program to be installed, which depends on newer versions of dependencies also not in the ubuntu repo, then you'll be in for one hell of a ride as it's gonna take you loads of time [09:30] pratz: Which program are you looking for [09:30] hi, I'm using the integrated graphic cardo of a i5 2400 cpu (ubuntu 11.10, kernel 3.0.0-12-generic). Unfortunately, I have to use "nomodeset" (otherwise I have blank screen after boot) and can't use high resolution. How can I solve? [09:30] GirlyGirl: i have ubuntu 10.04 and I installed "pdftk" version 1.41 ,but there is a know bug in this and that's [09:30] why i downloaded pdftk version 1.44.deb , when i try to install this deb package i get the error Error: [09:30] Dependency is not satisfiable: libgcj11 (>= 4.4) [09:31] faLUCE: You have to install your graphic drivers. [09:32] theadmin: how? [09:32] pratz: Gernerally the LTS versions no longer get new software after the next version has been released. They get security updates for the old versions and critical bug fixes backported (similar to debian stable). SO if you want new software with newer libraries etc upgrade to 11.10 [09:32] faLUCE: Normally you can use the built-in "Hardware Drivers" tool.

[09:47] atif: or ask in #ubuntu+1 [09:48] arlo: did you look at what /var/log/apache2/error.log contains ? [09:48] 2 sek i check [09:49] OK so I'm on 11.10 for the first time... on the "Additional Drivers" it shows that "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 173)" is already installed... why? And whats more if it _was_ installed where is nvidia-settings? The silly ubuntu "displays" gui doesn't think I have two monitors when I do.

[09:56] http://pastebin.com/G6y43pym [09:56] arlo: another thing you need to "tick off" on your trouble shooting list is to run : 'curl http://localhost' on the same machine that you have the webserver running on [09:57] I have been clicking there and nothing hapens [09:57] yes my server running on localhost [09:57] arlo: and you need to check that ufw has port 80 opened [09:57] right click or left ? [09:57] but not on my ip [09:57] and not on my domain [09:57] afidegnum: You need to select the text and then right click and choose copy... [09:57] you mean router? [09:57] port 80 is open [09:57] i can ssh [09:57] and port 22 [09:57] !enter | arlo [09:57] arlo: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [09:58] arlo: ok if you can access the page at http://localhost, then check that port 80 is open. then you need to make sure your modem/router/adsl/internet thing is forwarding port 80 to your webserver machine [09:58] ok, thanks [09:58] my port is open [09:58] airtonix can you connect to me with teameiwer?

[09:59] afidegnum: nautilus /path/to/folder/ [09:59] thanks guys, im a new user from windows :-) [10:00] afidegnum: xdgopen or gvfs-open i think [10:00] theadmin i send you in post [10:00] airtonix: That's for files, you don't need that to just open a folder with nautilus [10:00] ok [10:00] theadmin: it does however open the home folder if i use xdg-open ~/ [10:01] airtonix: It does but it's not necessary, besides... [10:01] theadmin: well it's the desktop agnostic way [10:02] may i know the command to show my graphic card details ???? [10:03] afidegnum: I usually 'bookmark' those folders I find myself always needing to open [10:04] may i know the command to show my graphic card details ???? [10:05] hmm, that's long way, I am doing lots of development work where i have to open folders here,and there, using terminal to do almost everything. and at a time I need to open a folder on the fly, some folders might not need to be opened aagain . [10:06] atif: there's a few and they show somewhat different aspects [10:06] afidegnum: since i'm a heavy user of synapse i simply press the hotkey for that and type the path then hit enter [10:07] a [10:07] a [10:07] euh, i am also looking for hotkey feature, [10:07] can u write down few ?

Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [10:10] grub rescue> [10:10] afidegnum: there's a few videos giving you a demo of it [10:10] mrgotty: Go to #windows [10:10] sorry [10:10] but its not a windows situation [10:11] grub is part of ubuntu [10:11] airtonix: ok, thanks [10:11] mrgotty, http://godbyte.com/blog/2010/windows-7-wont-boot-after-removing-ubuntu [10:11] mrgotty: Also before giving up, please give kubuntu and xubuntu a shot too [10:11] mrgotty: why don't u like ubuntu ?

[10:12] mrgotty: no, what you need to do is to install vmware in windows, you don't need to run a dual boot [10:12] you open windows and lauch ubuntu inside your windows pc [10:13] i want to install ubunut [10:13] do you have to pay for recovery disks [10:13] without reinstalling windwos 7 [10:13] a433b: install it :) [10:13] mrgotty, see my message.

[10:21] mrgotty: and whats running the scripts [10:22] :S what Im asking is, for programmers, is ubuntu better or is it just optional [10:22] linux* [10:22] mrgotty: linux is to commonplsce and usefull to ignore [10:23] blaah im not sure, I think im just scared to use a new OS [10:23] iv always used windows [10:23] and iv only just started programming [10:23] get over it i guess.. ;) [10:24] someone can help me with af problem [10:24] linux is just so usefull i so many ways for me [10:24] hello i am in netbuntu trying to format my windows hdd, but I am having problems mounting it fdisk -l lists only the flash drive /dev/sda1 [10:24] i have a webserver but is not comming on my ip [10:24] To become used to with Ubuntu It takes some time...Once you get used to it...You will forget Windows. [10:24] just dont want my new laptop to break aswel haha, seems to be running between 60 - 75 degrees temperature [10:24] which is weird [10:25] how can i mount the hdd which I dont think has anything in it [10:25] so I can format it proper [10:25] mushy: No partitions? [10:25] someone can help me with a teameiwer? [10:25] mrgotty: If you are new try a live cd of Ubuntu, and varriants like Kubuntu and see which one you like best. Kubuntu (by default) feels a bit like Windows [10:25] mushy: You have to format it first before mounting [10:25] mrgotty: theres some powersaving bugs that may cause them to run warm [10:25] how do I format it [10:25] I cannot find it [10:25] win7 cannot format it [10:25] mushy: It's under /dev and normally has a name of /dev/sdXY where X is a letter and Y is a number. [10:26] Try Zorin OS... [10:26] mushy: does the bios show it? [10:26] because my copy is not legit and its all together fail [10:26] so i went to my old copy that i know works [10:26] but the unlegit copy screwed something up [10:26] i used speedfan for windows to check it dr_willis [10:26] mushy try 'sudo gparted' on ubuntu live [10:26] arlo: check /etc/apache2/ports.conf (Listen xxxx) what does "sudo netstat -tulpen |grep :80" say [10:26] arlo: what is the issue? [10:27] gparted only shows the flash drive [10:27] then u got a hardware issue [10:27] or the mbr got screwed [10:27] hard to recover [10:28] or some odd sata controller [10:28] true [10:28] Amdpc: "Once you get used to it...You will forget Windows.", and once you'll get used to other Linux distros you'll forget Ubuntu xD [10:28] mushy: windows sees the disk? [10:28] KrisDouglas: so how do I put this on USB and make sure it boots from USB? [10:29] i think i may try going back into the windows setup thing i might of had something not deleted, or deleted and not created im going to try that and back to linux to fdisk [10:29] mrgotty, It's a bit tricky to boot it from USB [10:29] yo [10:29] mrgotty: theres a dozen tools at the pendrivelinux site to put the iso file on a usb [10:29] why is it that after i run 'sudo apt-get --purge remove librasqal2 [10:29] then dpkg -l |grep rasqal still outputs librasqal2 ? [10:29] its only way i can do it [10:29] theadmin : For example.. ? [10:29] Amdpc: May I pm you? [10:29] mrgotty, the windows recovery system isn't compatible with what dr_willis said. [10:29] yes but i am getting write errors now, from a legit copy, where ive been messing with an unlegit copy all day which i think messed up the mbr [10:30] or something [10:30] theadmin : Sure... [10:30] if i install ubuntu by wubi, will my computer be cooler? [10:30] mediseen [10:30] but it says FalconFours ultimate boot, is usable with cd and USB [10:30] dr_willis, there is a readme file in the archive for once it's downloaded. [10:30] 'write errors' could be the hd is failing also [10:30] the dvd drive on this laptop is not working so i have to use USB [10:30] sorry, mrgotty, not dr_willis [10:30] why is it that after i run 'sudo apt-get --purge remove librasqal2 then dpkg -l |grep rasqal still outputs librasqal2 ?? [10:30] ok [10:30] mrgotty, there is a readme file in the archive for once it's downloaded. [10:33] should i buy a new hdd [10:33] would it save my receding hairline [10:33] that fking with this anymore [10:33] mushy, buying a new hard drive is expensive at the moment. They are all running at triple the price. [10:34] why [10:34] mushy, floods have damaged factories.

[11:14] harsh343: Now try the mkfs command from above [11:14] I'm wondering why my system has 24-bit color depth by default. When I changed it to 32 in xorg.conf in Linux Mint 12, my system was unable to boot up at all. Will it fail in Ubuntu 11.10 in the same way? [11:14] dotriver can't say, i know it works with both ubuntu and linuxmint, that's all [11:15] oCean: The command showed me some deleted files. But none of those are in the /opt folder [11:15] deej1976, i try this again [11:16] sudo mkfs.vfat -F32 /dev/sdb1 but not formated [11:16] MonkeyDust, do you know who can have some informations about tweak and kde ? [11:16] harsh343: Can you pastebin the complete output [11:16] Malamen: hm, in that case the process that (might have been) writing to a file has ended [11:16] Malamen: does "sync" help. Doubt it, but worth a shot. [11:16] deej1976, http://pastebin.com/gaaaPChq [11:16] Malamen: and now I don't have an idea how to reclaim that space. [11:17] HOw do I check how much RAM my computer has from the commandline? [11:17] dotriver unfortunately not, maybe someone else can help [11:18] Ascavasaion, try free -m [11:18] when I make a job in upstart, it does not actually start. what appears to happen when starting it manually is that the output of the service includes the text "name: :0". now when starting it through upstart and logging what happens my output halts on "name: " and 5 seconds later upstarts terminates the job... how can this be solved? [11:18] dotriver why not try it yourself, it makes you the expert [11:18] harsh34: pastebin : mount | grep /dev/sdb1 [11:18] Hello there everytime that i try to install ubuntu grub wont install onto the /dev/sdX is there a way arounf this ? [11:18] coz_: Thank you, that worked perfectly :) [11:18] harsh34: I think it's been format and automatically mount again [11:18] Ascavasaion, excellent :) [11:18] it installes just not grub [11:18] Ascavasaion: just as a followup: http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ [11:19] Ta Myrtti [11:20] so I booted live cd and re-installed grub and still nothing on boot but grub comand line [11:21] bobweaver, did you do sudo update grub [11:21] this is ubuntu 11.10 that I am talking about cd is from canonical [11:21] coz_: no I can not get in [11:22] bobweaver, I meant after reinstalling grub [11:22] coz I chroot the sdaX and to try to but still nothing [11:22] deej1976, there ? [11:22] bobweaver, ah ok,,, I am still up in the air with grub2 in terms of understanding all of it,, if no one here has a solution you could also try #grub channel [11:22] coz after I re-install grub I still can not boot to either sda1 or sda7 [11:23] harsh343: yes [11:23] I have an old AMD Duron 1300MHz PC with 384Mb RAM. I might be able to get my hands on 3 x 256 = 768Mb RAM. I presume the old thing will run reasonably better with the jump from 384Mb to 768Mb RAM? [11:23] deej1976, what i can do now ? [11:23] bobweaver, but just after reinstalling it and before restarting did you do the command sudo update-grub??..yes? [11:23] harsh343: Is the drive empty? [11:23] coz yes sir [11:23] deej1976, no there is some data [11:23] coz_: grub2 is not that difficult to understand. you just dont configure it via the grub.cfg itself, but via /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d files [11:23] I got nothing back [11:24] small size of data [11:24] bobweaver, ok then try #grub channel if no one here has a solution at the moment [11:24] oCean, oh man I'm screwd [11:24] deej1976, I think this may be protected [11:24] harsh34: pastebin : mount | grep /dev/sdb1 [11:26] Anybody else please help me with this problem >>> http://paste.ubuntu.com/755888/ [11:27] deej1976, http://pastebin.com/tQ7NC2TP [11:28] Malamen: cd /opt ; ls -lart | pastebinit [11:28] hey guys how can i add a route for certain traffic. i want to only route ICMP traffic to a certain adaptor [11:29] harsh343: It's mount read/write and is formatted vfat (fat32) [11:29] harsh343: What more do you want?

[11:54] I had terrible trouble when I tried to load 11.04 onto my Dell. It was the video. It is important that you get the right drivers for yours right off. I don't remember how I got it, but did. [11:54] proxx: HP Pavilion DV1005ap [11:55] Intel Extreme Graphics 2, 14.0 [11:55] Cindy1: have you checked the md5sum of the cd/whatever? also have you looked at lubuntu ? [11:56] according to some website, intel graphics often work just fine [11:56] go ahead an install it :) [11:57] hey [11:57] Cindy1; btw maybe unity it a bit heavy on this machine , and i would suggest, using ubuntu 11.04 [11:57] bobweaver: yes. idi check md5sum. Anyway i'll try lubuntu if ubuntu 11.10 doesn't work. [11:58] Cindy1, did you find it? if not go to start menu...control panel...click system... then the hardware tab and expand the "Display adaptor" [11:58] proxx: Ubuntu 11.04 didn't work on my computer.

[12:02] coz_: Intel(R) 82852 / 82855 GM/GME Graphic Controller [12:02] Major bug for i915 graphic drivers (Intel i3 2nd Generation namely)... [12:02] KrisDouglas: how do i use that boot prog as a recovery disk? [12:03] it is trying to use i965 DRI versus i915 DRI, and a Symbolic Link breaks it [12:03] Cindy1, ok the intel video chip may be the reason,, i am not up on intel chip numbers but it is likely that was the issue with 11.04 [12:03] Cindy1, did the live cd run ok? [12:04] I'm unsure if I should just symbolic link [12:04] coz_ : the live cd didn't boot properly. [12:05] ciao ho un problema con xampp (lampp) [12:05] Cindy1, ok. did you check the md5sum of the iso image before burning it to cd? [12:05] coz_: yes. [12:06] hey [12:06] coz_: what's the recomended system requirement (not the min requirement) for Ubuntu 11.10? [12:07] Cindy1, mm.. there is an alternative and that would be the minimal install cd which is 19 megs.. it installs via the internet,, so little chance of burn errors,, however I am still guessing it may be the intel video chip,,, you probably should try the minimal just to test,, or as suggested, there are other ubunt derivitives [12:07] how can i deactivate and blacklist the OSS module? [12:07] deej1976: Thanks [12:07] Cindy1, your system is fine interms of requirements,, it's that darn intel video chip that I am questioning [12:07] Malamen: Did you find the missing Gb's [12:08] Cindy1, elementary Jupiter is a minimal ubuntu derivitive,, it may work [12:08] coz_: Ok. Thanks [12:08] Cindy1, i would experiment with the minimal install cd first [12:08] deej1976: Thanks. I havent paid atention on "du -sm" was not counting hidden items [12:09] Cindy1, if that does not boot,, you could change the boot sequence by adding nomodeset to it [12:09] deej1976: realy thanks [12:09] !nomodeset | Cindy1 [12:09] Cindy1: 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 [12:09] coz_ : thanks for the info. [12:09] Cindy1, if ubuntu is already installed , try the nomodeset first [12:09] hi [12:09] ankur, hey [12:11] ubottu: I got blank screen, even after waiting for 10 minutes. Thanks for the tips.

[12:16] Cindy1, I am on 11.04 at the moment [12:16] Cindy1, and 11.04 is also LTS [12:18] ankur: use Samba fileserver... or a shared partition on NTFS [12:19] I am using samaba only , and followed this guide, http://www.7tutorials.com/how-access-ubuntu-shared-folders-windows-7 , but it doesnt help === Esquire is now known as Esquire2 [12:19] coz_ : 11.04 didn't work for me. Between 10.04LTS and 11.10, which one would you suggest i try? [12:19] Cindy1, 10.04 [12:19] <_jason> Cindy1: use latest stable unless you have a reason to use LTS [12:19] Cindy1, ` I believe it may be out of support however [12:20] mornin' [12:20] what's the fastest way to find out the device node of a newly attached USB storage device?

Xubuntu or Lubuntu? [12:24] Cindy1: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:24] lol [12:25] Cindy1: depends on your systemspecs. [12:25] cindy1 lxde will have the most natural feel , when compared to gnome/kde [12:25] specs are fine [12:25] harsh343: sudo tail -f /var/log/kern.log [12:25] Cindy1: Lubuntu is the most light on resoruces. its also not as 'fancy' [12:25] <_jason> Cindy1: how much ram do you have? [12:25] but its simpiler... [12:25] harsh343: Then plug in your pendrive and try to write to it. [12:25] _jason : 768mb RAM [12:27] <_jason> Cindy1: try both (and maybe even regular ubuntu too) and see what you like. You can install one version, then install the others using the package manager (sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop for example). By the way, ram is relatively cheap nowadays if you want to speed up your computer a bit [12:27] dr_willis: HP Pavillion Notebook PC, CPU 1.6 Ghz Pentium M, 768mb RAM [12:27] Cindy1: id go for lubunt [12:28] ive ran ubuntu on a machine like that, little more ram though, works oke, not brilliant, but oke, with LXDE or XFCE it flies :) [12:28] i can't find a lubuntu download site [12:29] <_jason> Cindy1: what's the model number for your laptop?

[12:32] dr_willis, great! didn't know that, thanks. [12:32] Cindy1: go with the latest lubuntu ytou can do. [12:32] Cindy1: that entirely depends on your needs [12:33] testing lubuntu in vbox [12:33] Cindy1; id say not 10.10 coz unity might be to much on ur machine, unless, you try an other desktop, i would say gnomeclassis on 11.04 [12:33] <_jason> Cindy1: it's not unreasonable to just try them and use what you like, it's entirely subjective as to which one you will prefer [12:33] depends on what you are going to do with the machine also [12:34] proxx: afaics, 10.10 and 11.04 were out of the question ;) [12:35] yeah because of the graphics, but if u use the right boot parameters thing will be different [12:35] Hiyas all [12:37] Tes [12:37] dr_willis: I had problem running Ubuntu 11.04 so i'll try Lubuntu now.

[13:07] proof that iphones are evil? :) [13:07] as I read gnome terminal looks for that when starting and I wold like to set it to bash instead of tcsh [13:07] mushy: what 'data' are you refering to? [13:07] dr_willis: one might have to agree. That could be a potential security risk I assume [13:07] iphones are good. I just curse myself I didn't buy one.. [13:08] mushy: data worth keeping is data worth backing up. [13:08] ow and don't buy lg optimus 2x [13:08] the files on my desktop and the user files in their folders [13:08] it's crappy [13:08] inad922_: the chsh command i belive. [13:08] thanks dr_willis === Spacewalker_ is now known as Spacewalker [13:08] inad922_: you can buy mine, lol I have never been so unsatisfied with a smartphone in my life until I bought this iPhone4 [13:08] inad922_: you could set gnome-terminal with differnt priofiles to launch differnt shells. [13:09] dr_willis, i know, but I dont want it to delete it [13:09] mushy: a upgrade shouldent touch the users files in their home dir. [13:09] it has every time I have used it [13:09] dr_willis: I don't have sudo for that here(workplace..) Is there any other way to do that? [13:09] mushy: i think you are wrong.. theres nothign the uprades do to alter files in /home/* [13:10] Dj_FlyBy[ms]: You don't like it? [13:10] inad922_: a user can set their own shell as far as i know. [13:10] inad922_: not at all... I miss the days when Treo was the king! [13:10] dr_willis, well I will back it up, when i come back and its gone can I tell you you were wrong [13:10] Dj_FlyBy[ms]: lol I used cheap nokia phones before. I was more satisfied with them too. [13:10] mushy: i imagine theres 100;s of people in here that have done upgrades.. and nothing in their home was touched. [13:10] is it possible to get gthumb to zoom with the mouse wheel? [13:11] mushy: I'm not entirely sure how you are going about it, but I updated mine last week and all my $HOME files were still there [13:11] hello guys, a friend of mine got a pretty weird problem. he can't type character 'e' in terminal. [13:11] any ideas? [13:11] mushy: what exactly did it 'touch' in your home? [13:11] dr_willis: Yeah but how can you do that. I can only issue a limited set of commands with sudo and chsh is not among them. [13:11] inad922_: then they got you locked down it seems. [13:11] mushy if your /home is on a separate partition, you can safely upgrade, but dont format /home, of course [13:11] dr_willis: think I've tracked it down - bug in ufw [13:11] okay I am going to make a new backup but i have done it twice before and it it was like a fresh install [13:11] inad922_: try running just 'bash' ? [13:12] dr_willis: Yeah I can do that but I want to make gnome-terminal to start bash when I open it or open a new tab [13:12] Dj_FlyBy[ms]: Palm is totally dead btw? [13:12] mushy: I 2nd dr_willis, have upgrade several machine with no effect to /home, but as said if it's important to you back it up. [13:12] mushy: first rule of thumb regardless of any situation is to : backup backup backup [13:12] inad922_: gnome-terminal has specific profiles you can use. [13:12] is the "ubuntu" distro the only canonical's product or are there things it involved into ? [13:13] are there othere things it involved to ? [13:13] elkng: they sell 'support' :) and theres their music store. [13:13] hey whats the gnome gui partition thing [13:13] inad922_: might as well be dead.... they screwed themselves with the release of the last treo; it was a horrible piece of junk compared to all their previous smartphones [13:13] i just used it an hour ago [13:13] gpartition? [13:13] no [13:13] gparted [13:13] gparted [13:13] ty [13:14] dr_willis: if you run nfs, it breaks that output [13:14] so main function of canonical is to polish/improve *buntu ? [13:14] Dj_FlyBy[ms]: Why what did they mess up? I haven't really used any Palm products so I can't really compare. [13:14] dr_willis: Yeah but I can't really set the shell to use in the profile settings [13:14] dr_willis: Or maybe I'm just too stupid to do that. [13:14] inad922_: everything, lol... it was such a total letdown that I moved to the iPhone.... should've went to a BB though [13:15] Hi can I share my DVD RW ? I dont want others to be able to burn just read disks [13:15] Hey, is there any way I can get the "Super+num-key" window placement features of "3d unity" w/ 2d unity (w/o compiz) ? [13:15] Dj_FlyBy[ms]: Yeah BB seems to be a good choice. Android is flawed too btw. At least for me it just doesn't cut it. [13:16] inad922_ give androids a few years; they are still premature and wet behind the ears... [13:16] ?? [13:16] Getting weird warning on startup. Something about not being able to find /tmp drive or does not exist. Retry, skip, ignore are my options. Everything freezes my system except for ignore. Anyone know of this? [13:17] wait besides my swap i have one big partition which is mounted how would i go about resizing that? [13:17] inad922_: 'command to run.... 'bash' ' [13:17] says its in use and such [13:18] howdy [13:18] Dj_FlyBy[ms]: Yeah maybe it's true. But somehow they just need to tame the background processes or let the user somehow renice them or something because they are making it slow a lot of times. On other news Intents is a big invention. It's better than dbus imho. [13:18] is there any way i can use tabs with xterm [13:18] dr_willis: ow that might be a good solution. [13:19] inad922_: :) set one up to run 'mc' also. thats what i always do. [13:19] i am using GNS3 and would love to use tabs instead of opening terminal for every router especially some times i have 10 routers [13:19] Mcl0vin: gnome-terminal supports tabs, or look into screen [13:19] or byobu [13:21] using gparton besides my swap i have one big partition which is mounted how would i go about resizing that? [13:21] i cannot unmount it when i am on the computer am i? [13:21] mushy: you have to do that outside of the environment, best option I say would be to use a Live CD [13:21] how can i open gnome termail please [13:22] Mcl0vin: Which Ubuntu version? [13:22] Mcl0vin: control+alt+t [13:22] oh okay thanks Dj_FlyBy[ms] luckily i got that available [= [13:22] 10.04 [13:22] Mcl0vin: alt+f2, type gnome-terminal, press enter [13:22] If anyone could take a look into i915 DRI how-to enable/install that would be great. [13:22] Running kernel 1ZA50W290319352751 [13:23] 3.1.4-030104-generic* [13:24] is xfce widely supported? [13:24] its community seems small [13:24] niftylettuce: that is not a supported *buntu kernel === inad922_ is now known as inad922 [13:25] szal: what is the latest? [13:25] mushy: It is very supported, and works great. It feels a lot like gnome2, by the way. [13:28] niftylettuce: 3.0.0-13 (Oneiric) [13:28] Hi everyone. We are using NFS with "_netdev,auto" - flags in fstab and Ubuntu doen't succeed to automount the shares an boot. What do I do wrong? [13:30] Judge, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo [13:30] hello, i'd like to get autofs to consider a /home/$USER/.smb/$key.cred file for credentials with smb/cifs; something to the tune of: https://gist.github.com/1416730 (sample /etc/auto.smb that i would like to work) [13:30] hello [13:30] somebody here? [13:31] however, the $USER variable is not passed to that script, and a four-year-old discussion i found at http://www.mail-archive.com/autofs@linux.kernel.org/msg06365.html does not cast things in a very promising light [13:31] is autofs really fundamentally insecure by design like this? [13:31] hi === max is now known as Guest14652 [13:32] BluesKaj: Thank you, but this doesn't answer my question. We use static mounts : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo#Static_Mounts and it just doesn't work like it is described there. [13:33] baaba: lol at your way to determine where smbclient is [13:33] baaba: SMBCLIENT=$(which smbclient) [13:33] theadmin: that's all from the default ubuntu script [13:33] baaba: Ah, okay. [13:33] that is, the file that comes with the ubuntu autofs package [13:34] i only added the parts related to $credfile [13:34] hey baaba [13:34] can you help me? [13:34] !ask | a904 [13:34] a904: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [13:34] But do go ahead a904 [13:35] !ask somebody knows some excercise in c with array function pointer etc? [13:35] a904: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:35] are you intelligent? [13:35] somebody knows some excercise in c with array function pointer etc? [13:36] a904: Thats not really on-topic for this channel. ##c would be more appropriate. [13:37] Judge, did the auto in fstab work before , I don't see an auto option for staic mounts in that tutorial [13:37] err static [13:39] BluesKaj: No, it never worked. "auto" isn't a NFS specific option, it's a general mount option. And it isn't mounted automatically without "auto", either. When the system boots, I get an error related to "not route found" or such; it's too quick out of view and not logged anywhere. [13:40] BluesKaj: You can find "auto" under "Troubleshooting" - "Mounting NFS shares in encrypted home won't work on boot" in that guide. [13:40] Judge: you sure you have internet on boot? [13:41] Judge, what about your export file is it showing rw permissions [13:41] Judge: if you don,t have networking fully set up when it tries to mount NFS shares, might give you that error. Can you mount it later (after logging in for example)? [13:42] theadmin: is there a way i can open tabs from the shell please [13:42] cipherboy: Not at all: We use Cisco components. These devices are known to take their time while initializing a switchport; often it takes 20 seconds or more until the first packet can pass the device. But there are two nfs - options which seem to not working also (see man nfs): bg and retry=X [13:42] Mcl0vin tabs? Like do you mean screen? [13:42] no [13:43] cipherboy: And yes, a few seconds after boot, "mount -a" succeeds. [13:43] !info screen | Mcl0vin: [13:43] cipherboy: So it seems as if the Ubuntu NFS mechanism lacks these retry - patterns. [13:43] Mcl0vin:: screen (source: screen): terminal multiplexor with VT100/ANSI terminal emulation. In component main, is optional. Version 4.0.3-14ubuntu8 (oneiric), package size 582 kB, installed size 1044 kB [13:44] Judge: oh, that is what I was missing -- fstab options. Yes, it is possible that certain Ubuntu versions lack these features. [13:44] cipherboy: Any ideas how to prevent these issues properly? [13:45] Judge: bg would hide the error messages and retry=X would allow you to reconnect until you succeed? [13:45] cipherboy: if they lack those features, they had changed nfs-packages. in that case they have to document that somewhere. they didn't ->bugreport [13:45] llutz_ good point [13:46] Hello. does anybody know how to prevent root from removing the immutable flag from a file? the cap-bound file under /proc has been removed in newer kernels? [13:46] Sorry, haven't looked at NFS since I compiled it in gentoo. [13:46] cipherboy: That's what I understand when reading the manpage. But it doesn't work. [13:47] cipherboy: *gg* In Gentoo we have no issues .. ;D [13:47] Would it be an issue with the kernel? [13:47] Judge In gentoo did you build it in or as a module? [13:48] yes [13:48] pmsz not familiar with what you are trying to do, but isn't that the point of root? You could try mounting it ro... [13:48] cipherboy: Works with both. [13:49] how to penetration with blackbuntu [13:49] there used to be a flag CAP_LINUX_IMMUTABLE among the kernel capabilities which was possible to be set system-wide [13:49] there were also other capabilities like one for disabling LKM at runtime and so on [13:50] it could be set via /proc but now... there doesn't seem to be an equivalent to the cap-bound file [13:50] Judge only thing I can think of is network drivers are loading after nfs module [13:50] how to update kernel ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04 ? how can it? [13:50] hi, I'm using ubuntu 11.10 with the default unity interface. how can I alllow my mobile phone to send a file via bluetooth to my computer? I have paired the devices (initiated from the phone), but file sending fails [13:50] Pmsz sorry, can't help. [13:51] sorry, can't help [13:51] All, switching computers [13:52] hi guy's, how to kill server in lan network [13:52] cipherboy: OK, lets assume this is the reason for the issue: I do not see a init script for NFS client mount in Ubuntu. Do you know how to have these started/mounted later? [13:53] please right click, and then click mounted [13:53] back [13:53] Judge, any change? [13:53] Judge: btw, this server or desktop? [13:53] hi guys.... do anyone knows a webUI to manage NAS ? [13:54] froes: tried freenas? [13:54] Judge: your on the client, and the nfs entries is in /etc/fstab ? [13:54] froes: or is that not what you are looking for? [13:54] cipherboy: Lucid Server [13:54] deej1976: Right. [13:54] The mounting would be handles by autofs [13:55] Judge: you get the error on the client, saying no route to host? [13:55] What is the error? [13:55] cipherboy, it would be, if i could have squid, jetty, mysql, etc... [13:55] cipherboy, and as it replaces all confs at boot time. makes a little bit hard. i would have to "rebuilt" the whole distro [13:55] Hi. I can boot with my distro (a lubuntu 11.10 based distro, created by me with remastersys utility) only if I set nomodeset. Otherwise I see a black screen after booting. Unfortunately, with nomodeset I can only see low resolution for the screen. How can I solve that? I tried the lubuntu 11.10 live cd and it sees high resolutions too. How can I correct this error in my custom distro? [13:56] faLUCE: Install graphics drivers. [13:56] froes: ah, didn't know that. [13:56] Judge: The problem might be the network (dhcp) starting but not completing before and IP address is assigned. ( I've got this problem with nfs/nis homearea ) [13:57] cipherboy: they must be already installed [13:57] cipherboy: When I reboot, the switch, the server is connected to, need to initialize the Port several seconds. When Ubuntu has switched it's eth's to "up" , it takes another ... 5 or 10 seconds before the port is up. This interferes with the NFS mount, since it really "has no route to host". It has automatically a few seconds later. [13:57] cipherboy, exactlly... if i has an arm board with a CF card of 1 GB. just to do NAS would be perfect [13:57] faLUCE: meaning? [13:58] Judge: So couldn't you create an init script which just runs mount -a after a delay of 10 seconds or something? [13:58] froes: seems to me there was another similar project, forgot what it was called though. [13:59] Judge: dirty workaround: set a sleep=xx at /etc/init/mountall-net.conf (or whatever the script mounting nfs is called) [13:59] cipherboy: That's one solution, but it's quite ugly :P [13:59] Judge: I've got a script that waits until the network is up then restart autofs [13:59] cipherboy: ?? [13:59] cipherboy: I'd prefer a "clean" one. === ericm|ubuntu is now known as ericm-otp === ilia_ is now known as iformalsky [14:00] faLUCE: Precisely what I asked you. What does it must be installed already mean? [14:00] cipherboy: the must be already in the kernel === joo is now known as Guest48146 [14:01] Judge: good point. Does retry=X work on other FS types? [14:01] faLUCE: Meaning? I am not understanding you. [14:01] retry=X is a nfs specific option [14:01] faLUCE: you can add new drivers all the time if you want. [14:01] cipherboy: I think so ... [14:02] Judge: if "retry" really fails, file a bugreport [14:02] cipherboy: the kernel already has drivers for the graphic card. therefore, I don't have to install anything. [14:02] llutz_: OK, thank you. [14:02] cipherboy: this is not the right solution [14:03] cipherboy: I think I'll solve it close to your suggestion. Thank you for your help! [14:03] Judge: how long does it take for a retry? Does it wait inbetween? Could it be it schedules a retry, but the autofs proc ends or something of the sort? (sorry, not familiar with fs mounting) [14:03] faLUCE: what ever, have someone else help you. [14:06] does anyone know how to generate Vala bindings from a C header file. All I need are the defined constants and struct definitions. [14:07] cipherboy: retry= seems to not have any effect. I set it to "2" (minutes) and even after 10 minutes the fs isn't mounted. When I enter "mount -a" ist's immediately available. [14:07] Judge: sorry, have to afk. === cipherboy is now known as cipherboy|afk [14:07] what do I need to do to recieve files over bluetooth?

[15:38] ghufran what options are they? [15:38] MonkeyDust: NetInstall, HDMedia, Live all three for 32/64 bit versions [15:39] I dont think unetbootin can do full installs [15:39] i think you will need to make the usb bootable, boot to a live cd and install from there [15:39] ghufran do you have 64 bit machine? use Live [15:40] why libreoffice became displayed by KDE? if I use gnome and this havent happen before [15:40] MonkeyDust: i have 32 bit ubuntu so i'll choose one of the 32 bit ones. but i don't know which one to choose between hdmedia, live and netinstall [15:41] ghufran choose live [15:41] MonkeyDust: okay. thanks [15:42] m477: have you got libreoffice-gnome or libreoffice-gtk installed?

[16:05] t43, that's old in the tooth nowadays [16:05] err, long/ [16:05] Benkinooby: I've run basic ubuntu on a t40 and it worked fine. [16:06] how can I create an user named adm when the system already has a group with that name? :) [16:06] Benkinooby: i'd recomend xfce (but that is my taste, i've never liked gnome/unity) [16:06] you should install kubuntu if you think this friend would hate unity [16:06] some people do [16:06] but they might hate kde too [16:06] mfilipe: sory, i mean look at dhcpd.conf [16:06] Benkinooby: I'd say other things will use more resources, like the browser. Modern browsing seem to use a lot of memory and this is going to be your problem. [16:06] afeijo, what does the group have to do with it? [16:06] useradd adm [16:06] afeijo: you shouldn't. if you insist, create the user with a different group (man adduser) [16:07] TImewarper, because adm is a existing group, useradd adm returns that error [16:07] SwedeMike, hm, that's a point... [16:07] afeijo: because USERGROUPS=yes in adduser.conf === TRAP is now known as Guest38105 [16:07] or if it stops you for some reason (delgroup adm, adduser adm, addgroup adm) [16:08] Benkinooby: my t40 runs a browser just fine (1.5 gb of ram) [16:08] Benkinooby: flash hurts the cpu somewhat awful though [16:09] SwedeMike, ThinkT510 ok, thank you --- flash is a pain, mo matter what OS ;) [16:10] Benkinooby: moreso on single processor systems [16:10] ThinkT510, SwedeMike i jsut saw there is a macbuntu or mac-remix... any experience with that? [16:10] Benkinooby: nope, i don't do macs === Mud is now known as Guest25087 [16:10] Benkinooby: also if you use that you can't get help here [16:11] ThinkT510, i am deciding whether to try to make it as much mac-like as possible to make him (the user) to feel at home or to confront him with kde/gnome/xfce or even lxde [16:12] Benkinooby: I think it'll just confuse him if you try to say 'look it's the same!' cause really it's not. [16:12] Benkinooby: default xfce theme is suprisingly maclike (with the popup panel at the bottom too) [16:12] edbian, yes... i also thought that ... [16:13] Benkinooby: but, on the other hand, if it's similar to Mac he'll probably like it more than something that was randomly selected. [16:13] edbian, by askeing here i try to reduce the randomnes :P [16:13] Benkinooby: haha :) [16:14] is this the best place to ask about general questions on whether 1 VPS with 512mb ram would be better or 2 VPS's with 256 each would be superior for a LAMP based webapp? [16:15] Aric: How do you suppose to run it on both of them at the same time anyway? And no, this isn't really the place. [16:15] edbian, ThinkT510 SwedeMike thank you all for your input... i'll head for xfce... i think that will be the least confusing for him [16:16] theadmin: sugegstion on channel?

[18:46] yes === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo === shubbar__ is now known as shubbar [18:50] ffefe === Guest19664 is now known as capcook` [18:52] I like that new ubuntu tour [19:02] somebody help me please [19:04] anybody have issues with file downloads and product kits? I can't seem to download any files in purchased product kits [19:04] how do i flush dns at ubuntu 10.10 ? [19:05] woops, wrong room === dereck is now known as awsoonn [19:06] when I minimizer, the window dissapear, what I can do? [19:06] how do i flush dns at ubuntu 10.10 ? [19:08] hi, when I try to open an site in firefox that uses aspx it try to open it in monodevelop isntead of showing it.. is there a way to fix this without deinstalling monodevelop? [19:10] where are the answer? === Mud is now known as Guest38246 [19:13] anyone know what happened to the compiz_fusion effects in 11.10? [19:13] the older version of ubuntu (like a long time ago) use to have a place where you could set window effects and what not [19:13] jclbrt: GNOME no longer uses Compiz. So, well, they're not there. [19:13] oh noes [19:13] jclbrt: You have to install it separately. [19:13] i loved that [19:13] oh [19:13] so just install compiz? [19:14] jclbrt: sudo apt-get install compiz compizconfig-settings-manager [19:14] thanks :-) [19:14] Can I use clonezilla debian based if it's for ubuntu ? [19:14] havent used the desktop version of ubuntu in a LONG time [19:14] been using the server version [19:14] jclbrt: lol yep, it's changed. === BluesKaj is now known as BluesKaj-busy [19:15] yea it sure has [19:15] lmao [19:16] jclbrt: If you want to look at what a standard gnome feels like, install the "gnome-shell" package, log out, click the little gear thing and choose GNOME. [19:16] hopefully it works in virtual box [19:16] jclbrt: It changed a lot too [19:16] hey all, is anyone experiencing on 11.10 that transmission is getting stuck , blocked and the process cannot even be easily "killed" [19:16] oh not mentioning using 100% of the CPU... [19:16] the compiz that is... i hope that works in Virtual Box [19:16] ETronik: That happened to me on Windows... Consider another bittorrent client. [19:16] jclbrt: Install the guest additions for it to work [19:17] ETronik: does it happen when you first start downloading & it begins writing the contents to disk? [19:17] yep i just did... [19:17] we'll see what happens [19:17] jclbrt: Yes, youll need guest additions and working 3D [19:17] ETronik: and if so, what filesystem are you saving to? [19:17] i dedicated 4 CPUs to ubuntu and 8GB of ram to the guest [19:17] jordan: maybe I really can't tell, most torrent are at near zero save for one [19:17] i think that should be FAST enough ;-) [19:17] jordan how do I find my filesystem type ? [19:18] fdisk [19:18] ETronik: You may want to try qbittorrent, it's great really, has a classic utorrent-style UI and a ton of functions [19:18] ETronik: one place is to look in /etc/fstab [19:19] Hello, my ati grafics card runs with ubuntu kernel 2.6 jsut fine, but not with kernel 3.0.x it boots but is soo very slow. what can I do? [19:19] jordan ext4 [19:19] hmm, is it an encrypted partition by any chance? [19:20] jordan yeah I think so [19:20] p2p is hell on encrypted partitions because of all the near-random disk IO [19:20] jordan shouldn't that be transparent to the applications ? [19:21] ETronik: I'd recommend you use an unencrypted partition for your p2p, and then when it's done downloading/seeding you move it across to the encrypted partition [19:21] ETronik: "transparent to the applications" -- I don't understand your question [19:21] ETronik: I have an encrypted partition and I can run Transmission fine. [19:21] jordan ok, hmm can I download directly to an SMB location ? using transmission ? === shawn__ is now known as shankysv87 [19:22] rypervenche: so. what might be causing this major instability ? [19:22] ETronik: you could if the SMB location is mapped to a normal directory, but then you're going to have the SMB overhead too [19:22] jordan I don't mind the overhead... [19:23] ETronik: ideally you would be using a locally mounted, unencrypted drive with a decent filesystem (ext4 is fine) [19:23] hmmm... no effects are working [19:23] or at least it doesnt seem to be applied [19:23] dunno [19:23] ETronik: but, as you like it :) [19:23] jordan but why does it need such high performance ? I don't get it... [19:23] ETronik: You could try starting Transmission from the command line and see if it shows any errors. [19:24] As you download and seed, you're encrypting and decrypting random sections of the file(s) as Transmission writes them to disk or reads them for seeding === richard is now known as Guest1965 [19:24] i hate transmission [19:24] I haven't experienced this firsthand, but I've seen many people complaining about torrent performance on encrypted drives -- transmission, deluge, ktorrent, w/e [19:24] i even like utorrent more than transmission [19:24] jclbrt: what's wrong with transmission? :) [19:24] jordan ok, so? I have fast laptop... or decent enough... [19:25] just never had good experience with it [19:25] jclbrt: Like utorrent? Try qbittorrent :) [19:25] it always seemed to run slow [19:25] not nearly s slow Azureus [19:25] err not nearly as slow as azureus [19:25] i installed ubuntu 10.04 as a second os on my win xp computer, i've installed the proprietary graphics driver, but scrolling web pages with alot of graphics is noticeable choppier/laggier than in xp, is there anything to do about this? [19:26] so I still don't know, is it a system thing causing this ? or an application thing ? [19:26] Guest1965: What graphics card do you have and where did you download the proprietary driver from? [19:26] Guest1965: What graphics card is it? [19:26] ETronik: well, okay. I'm just going from what you said, that the CPU is going at 100%, and that you're using an encrypted partition. If you want to put it to the test, try downloading to an unencrypted partition and compare the results [19:26] ETronik: Try what I said and see if it gives any errors. Also try running it using the verbose option as well. [19:26] it's a geforce 7600 gs [19:26] encryption ain't free [19:27] and i installed it from the proprietary drivers menu in ubuntu [19:27] rypervenche: how do I start transmission fom command line ? [19:27] Guest1965: Did you restart afterward? [19:27] rypervenche, yes [19:27] Guest1965: Then you have some pretty old drivers [19:28] ETronik: Just type "transmission" in a terminal [19:28] Galvatron, i installed the driver listed as current [19:28] Guest1965: Try the very latest 290.10 from nVidia's website [19:28] Galvatron, ok [19:28] Galvatron, ok [19:29] jordan sure I know what you mean, but by that argument one could not use database or anything that uses quite a bit of HD... I've used encrypted partitoins with no side-effects since the days of OS/2 (quite a few years back) and never had a problem [19:29] I mean using a 386 as the processor... [19:29] bleh... where the heck can i change the theme in gnome now? [19:29] ETronik: I'm using an EeePC with LVM on LUKS to do it and I have no problems. :P [19:30] rypervenche: do how do I call transmission from command line ? [19:30] hi, why doesn't Ubuntu has any trademark conflict that prevents the use of Firefox, as Debian does? [19:30] ETronik: Scroll up. Just type "transmission". [19:30] frox: Because Ubuntu doesn't modify Firefox's code. [19:31] rypervenche: oops, :-) ok tks [19:31] I had a MySQL server on my Ubuntu box. The box has crashed and burned. Nothing will run but I can access the HD. Since I can't run mysqld I can't make a dump of the data. Can I back these databases up by strictly using the filesystem? [19:31] frox: Because Ubuntu isn't as into Free software as Debian is. Yay Debian! [19:31] yep, I knew I'd seen this before [19:31] ETronik: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ecryptfs/+bug/431975 [19:31] Launchpad bug 431975 in eCryptfs "downloading a torrent to an encrypted home partition hangs and uses 100% CPU" [Wishlist,Triaged] [19:31] frox: You may not use the Firefox trademark if you modify the code, but if you don't, you're fine [19:31] "Karmic with all updates. Home is encrypted with ecryptfs. I have tried downloading several torrents with thansmission and rtorrent. When downloading to the encrypted home, both programs hang, use 100% CPU and I can't kill them. Downloading to /tmp, which is not encrypted works." [19:32] Guest1965: Also the browsers might be at fault. I have Ubu 11.04 + 7300GT + 290.10 and Opera 11.52 is the only one scrolling 100% smoothly [19:32] prob due to the encryption cuz it has to encrypt the data when it downloads it [19:32] It's my primary browser anyways, so no problem here. [19:32] ETronik: ^ that sounds almost exactly like what you were describing [19:33] oh nvm thats what u r saying hehe [19:33] missed it completely [19:33] Hello. In my /etc/exports i have the following: /home/mythtv/media 192.168.1.0/24(rw,fsid=0,no_subtree_check what does the /24 mean? And why am I able to access even though my ip is not 192.168.1.0 ? [19:33] i'm trying to get the compiz effects to take... might have to reboot the machine and see if that helps [19:33] :-\ [19:33] jordan: Karmic is pretty old. It would be best to try with Natty [19:34] how do I fully reinstll my kernel and modules? [19:34] jcolbert__: Run ccsm and configure it the way you wish [19:34] jordan yes it does look exactly what I have... [19:34] jcolbert__: Also, you might want to add "compiz --replace" to your start up apps so it starts up with compiz and not mutter [19:34] now... how can I kill the bugger without having to reboot ? [19:35] ETronik: Could you killall -9 transmission? [19:35] Hello. In my /etc/exports i have the following: /home/mythtv/media 192.168.1.0/24(rw,fsid=0,no_subtree_check what does the /24 mean? And why am I able to access even though my ip is not 192.168.1.0 ? [19:35] ok, thanks everybody. What kind of change does Debian do to Firefox that Ubuntu doesn't? === cap is now known as Guest67345 [19:35] theadmin yea i did the first part [19:35] didnt do the second part [19:35] Galvatron: I'm running 11.10 here... that Natty mention was a quote from the ticket that matches what ETronik is seeing [19:35] frox: A few security patches from what I'm aware. [19:35] frox: And something... uh... not sure actually. [19:35] Galvatron: thanks though :) [19:35] frox: Wikipedia may tell you. [19:35] diverdud`: the /24 means that anything in the 192.168.1.1-254 can access that share [19:35] oh crap i just realized i had two connections to this irc server with my client [19:35] my bad [19:36] hello [19:36] I just wanted to thank you for your support [19:36] theadmin: thank you very much [19:36] I've just updated to 10.4 [19:36] Brasero complains "Couldn't find package toc2cue", apt complains "Couldn't find package toc2cue". [19:36] have a nice day/night [19:36] theadmin: slowtossingmotion [19:36] squidly: ohhh okay. IS it possible to set it up so that a specific outside ip can access the share also? [19:36] hi everybody. i set up a ubuntu server with the mini.iso with nothing but the standard installed. i want to install nvidia-glx-185 but that is not in the repository. can anyone tell me where i can find this or what i have to do? [19:36] oops [19:36] hey ubuntu [19:36] OS=LTS [19:37] theadmin: no process found on the killall -9 [19:37] Any way to resolve this? [19:37] theadmin shouldnt the effects be immediate as i configre them in ccsm [19:37] ? [19:37] to burn an ISO do you select burn file or burn content ? [19:37] configure* [19:37] ETronik: is there still a transmission process running? [19:37] jclbrt: You kinda have to run compiz too... [19:37] diverdud`: yes.. just setup a new share with the specific ip [19:37] the /24 is a Class-C range. [19:37] when installing the nvidia driver that i've downloaded, do i just double-click the file and the driver installs automatically? [19:37] squidly: how do i do that? [19:37] man exports.conf [19:37] jordan theadmin thransmission-gtk process in Zombie state [19:38] rypervenche: you mean Ubuntu doesn't follow strictly the Debian Free Software Guidelines, do you? [19:38] Emiru: Burn... uh... burn image is normally how it's called [19:38] ETronik: Oh, then killall -9 transmission-gtk [19:38] theadmin: yes, thats what I did [19:38] frox: We don't follow that indeed. [19:38] squidly: Would this be ok? /home/mythtv/media 45.124.123.22(rw,fsid=0,no_subtree_check) [19:38] theadmin i think i know why [19:38] yea that should work IIRC [19:38] i forgot to enable 3D for the VM [19:38] theadmin: I had to choose between content or file :P I selected content, I'll see if it boots [19:39] I dont have an example right in front of me to be sure. [19:39] Emiru: I suppose that's the right way [19:39] gotta shut down the guest and go to the settings and enable it... hopefully my machine can handle it [19:39] I'm trying to make a debian package, but it looks like something inside the package is changing during dh_make and it complains "dpkg-source: error: unrepresentable changes to source". I'm only trying to package some source I downloaded someplace else, what should I do about this? [19:39] ETronik: try "pkill -9 transmission" [19:39] #570787 [19:39] dont exactly have the greatest GPU in the world [19:39] Bug #570787 [19:39] squidly: ? [19:39] diverdud`: BUT you also have to make sure the remote client can get to all the local ports need [19:39] Launchpad bug 529696 in brasero (Ubuntu Natty) "duplicate for #570787 [SRU] brasero can't copy audio cd (useless error message)" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/529696 [19:40] squidly: yes, you mean port forwarding right? [19:40] diverdud`: that should work. [19:40] jordan same result window still thee, system monitor still lists the process as zombie [19:40] Pingeling: You mean, you want nVidia's proprietary drivers? [19:40] theadmin: ok, I had a misconceived notion that as a derivative you would follow the guidelines [19:40] squidly: port 22 should be enough to forward to mount drives with ftab right? [19:40] diverdud`: yea.. and also not forget that NFS is clear text.. so you will be sharing that to the world [19:40] frox: Nah. [19:41] diverdud`: if you do an ssh tunnel.. but I dont know if an SSH tunnel can work with NFS. I have never done that.. never wanted to. I only share NFS with my trusted hosts [19:41] squidly: what is NFS? [19:41] Galvatron: Yes that's what i want. if i set up a machine with a desktop image it tells me that there are some updates. bytheway i have a netbook with nvidia ion chipset. does this matter? [19:41] ETronik: hurm. you were just running transmission-gtk, rather than something complicated like transmission-daemon running as a service that you don't have user permissions to kill directly? [19:41] squidly: Network File Share = NFS? [19:42] ETronik: if you can't kill it, and you have permissions to, the /simplest/ next advice is to reboot ;) [19:42] NFS == Network File System [19:42] (what you are trying to do) [19:42] theadmin: :-) ok, thanks [19:42] if you need to share it out over the web.. I would recomend you look at something like sshfs [19:42] squidly: but if i set up in /etc/exports that only a specific ip can access then im not sharing with the world right? [19:43] squidly: then only this ip can access [19:43] squidly: right? [19:43] frox: For instance, no Arch derivatives I know really follow the Arch way. [19:43] theadmin: did not boot :P [19:43] diverdud`: in theory.. but NFS is easy to crack [19:43] SMART saya my disk has " a few bad sectors" should i be worried? [19:43] bsmith093: how many bad sectors and how old is your drive? [19:43] squidly: hmm yes ok....what is a better alternative? [19:43] diverdud`: I said up above ;P [19:43] sshfs [19:44] jordan yeah... rebooting... [19:44] what's the difference between the xubuntu session and the xfce session? [19:44] squidly: how do i check how many, and about 2 years old, but i was doing a hell of a lot of disk activity over he past week or so [19:44] jordan btw where did you find that reference to the problem by someone else ? [19:44] how from console level I can make my screen darker [19:44] Pingeling: Have you installed this Server mini.so on this netbook? [19:45] Galvatron: jep [19:45] squidly: o set up ssh and then NFS over ssh [19:45] theadmin it seems i've lost my panel on the left hand side [19:45] Why is the manfile for mkisofs not present? [19:45] Galvatron: writing right now in irssi on this machine [19:45] Guest67345: I thought ubuntu uses genisoimage [19:45] bsmith093: sudo smartctl --all /dev/sdX <- replace X with the letter corresponding to the HDD; look at things like 'Raw Read Error Rate', 'Reallocated Sector Count', 'Seek Error Rate' and the likes [19:46] ETronik: I remembered seeing the ticket before and googled for it w/site:launchpad.net [19:46] diverdud`: http://lmgt4u.com/?q=sshfs+faq+and+tutorial [19:46] jclbrt: I see, huh, guess Unity isn't compatible with compiz... Sorry about that [19:46] compiz is working now tho... [19:46] lol [19:46] bsmith093: smartctl --health $device | grep `test result` [19:46] squidly: what port doespure NFS run on? [19:46] theadmin, Guest67345: genisoimage replaced mkisofs [19:46] diverdud`: a number of them actually [19:47] is there a way to get the classic panel back? or at least other ways to access the settings etc [19:47] jclbrt: The classical panel? Sure, sudo apt-get install gnome-panel [19:47] jclbrt: HOWEVER I want to note that you no longer can add or remove widgets. [19:47] eh [19:47] never used them anyways :-P [19:47] hi, I've been trying to get sound to work on my laptop running lubuntu 10.10 + ubuntu desktop... [19:47] squidly: which? [19:47] jclbrt: I suggest you switch over to XFCE... It's much more functional and feels like gnome2 [19:48] jclbrt: And works with other window managers without trouble :D [19:48] jclbrt: I managed to run XFCE with i3. Weird combo huh? [19:48] squidly: szal, it says 10 bad sectors [19:48] first it was playing double speed, then I reinstalled flash and it became normal speed, but still with no sound. ActionParsnip told me to switch to alsa and lose pulse which I did, and now... I don't know what to do... [19:48] bsmith093: then dont worry about it [19:48] Pingeling: Forget the 185.xx and get the very latest 290.10 from nVidia's website. [19:48] how much actual data is that? [19:49] hey [19:49] diverdud`: http://lmgt4u.com/?q=What+ports+does+NFS+run+on [19:49] Galvatron: ok thx, i will try that [19:49] hey [19:49] alsamixer shows it is all at the right levels... [19:49] bsmith093: 20 KiB at worst [19:50] my wifi adapter light blinks continuously (this happens normal when there is network traffic) when i am just idle and connect to my router. Is this a bug? [19:50] szal: oh thank moore, i thought it was something serious :) [19:50] Squidy: i can also google [19:50] szal: how do i get them remapped [19:50] szal: actually none.. most modern drives have a couple thousand spare sectors to remap badones too. [19:50] bsmith093: it becomes serious if you get messages of the file system being corrupted [19:50] !xubuntu [19:50] Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [19:50] squidly: sure that [19:50] diverdud`: good.. [19:50] n #ubuntu-it-chat [19:50] bsmith093: they should be remapped automatically === gianni is now known as Guest51596 [19:51] bsmith093: the bad sectors are just marked bad by the drive/SMART and remapped to some spair ones.. I would not worry until it's a couple thousand [19:51] hello all! is there any guide about how to persistently mount as /home an existent partition (with homes directories in it) into an already installed Ubuntu? [19:51] hi, i updated to 11.10, why they are ruining the distribution? unity is bad, no good point on it, gnome-shell wtf is ? they are unusable, gnome-session-fallback is a joke, it only remains xfce.. but really they are making the distribution bad every release [19:51] brb [19:52] theadmin... is there a way to get to the terminal now that i cant access the unity panel :-( [19:52] dob1: you dont have to use unity [19:52] squidly: well, i did get fsck errors when i biooted up, where is that log stored, so i can pastebinit? [19:52] jclbrt: Try ctrl-alt-t [19:52] dob1: you don't even have to use gnome [19:52] ah... good job joe [19:52] :-P [19:52] Pingeling: Donload them to your home folder, get to tty1 (Alt + F1) and use a command: sudo service gdm (or lighdm, kdm etc.) stop && sudo sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86/x86_64-290.10.run && sudo service gdm start. At first, it wil just disable Nouveau, but when you repeat the procedure after reboot, it will install the drivers. [19:52] dob1: using xfce is no bad thing, xfce is the default DE in xubuntu [19:52] bsmith093: check /var/log/boot. [19:52] Timewarper, probably not, WLAN especially is a shared medium, so if any other connected device broadcasts something you've got traffic. Plus modern OS tend to fetch stuff in the background all the time. [19:52] jclbrt: I'm not Joe... [19:52] what file system and why did you need to reboot? [19:53] yes i know [19:53] it's a quote [19:53] from a movie i cant remember === andrew_ is now known as mintsoup [19:53] squidly: my laptop and because it was off :) [19:53] ActionParsnip, this is not the point, xfce remains the only usable de... the other options are bad, who can find usable unity or gnome-shell? really.... it's better windows 98 thank gnome-shell or unity [19:53] bsmith093: ahh okies.. though this was a desktop [19:53] How can i get the configure flags which were used for my installed xserver-xorg-core ? [19:54] clear [19:54] yacc, i thought i have a trojan in my system [19:54] did your FS run fine? were you able to run it manually? [19:54] Pingeling: you can get the 285 driver from the xorg edgers update ppa (not the edgers ppa itself) [19:54] Pingeling: To update the drivers, download new ones fron nvidia and repeat the whole procedure (tty --> installation). After kernel update, do the same, just add "-K" flag, to compile the module only. To uninstall do the same, just use the "--uninstall flag". [19:54] hi i have a question about recordfail in grub, my server sometimes hang at the menu how do i make sure this doesn't happen? i have a recordfail entry in my grub.cfg (it's just recordfail not recordfail=1) if i comment that out will update-grub overwrite the settings? thanks! [19:54] dob1: in your opinion, yes. Others like it. I don't mind unity at all but only really use LXDE and Unity ocassionally [19:55] ActionParsnip, who like it? [19:55] dob1: the fact is, the desktop is changable, in Windows you have zero choice, you only have the given desktop, in Linux you can change it [19:55] dob1: I like it [19:55] resus: Yes, update-grub always overwrites the grub.cfg. Easiest solution is to add "timeout=5" to /boot/grub/custom.cfg (creating the file if it doesn't already exist). [19:56] ActionParsnip, have you seen other option from other os ? windows 7, osx, do you think that unity or gnome-shell are near to them?.... really... gnome2 was good why change it?

[21:24] maxflax: just go ahead and ask your actual question in the channel [21:24] but in checking, i see that Hardy Heron is still up there, so i'm wondering why Karmic is gone. Can i get those packages elsewhere? === pokey is now known as Guest81519 [21:24] is Karmic still supported? [21:24] Hi, I am getting really slow transfer rates from my nas with samba - I wonder how to tweak it for best performance [21:25] MonkeyDust: no, EOL last april [21:25] can someone kick oCean? he/she's very annoying [21:25] Tried the transfer with no diskwriting and get speed 942Mbit/s NIC 2 NIC but when using samba Im only in the speed 256Mbit/s [21:25] maxflax Karmic is no longer supported [21:25] ActionParsnip / Galvatron: does it matter that it is a WUBI installed sys? [21:25] boooh: stop that [21:25] Hey. I have a question. I once tried to install Ubuntu 11.10, but at install i got a kernel panic each time. Live interface runs. Now im running Ubunti 10.10 and im wondering if i could upgade to 11.10 without having my system all messed up... [21:26] MonkeyDust: Im not using Karmic [21:26] area51pilot_: doesn't matter, the OS is just stored differently. Its the same OS [21:26] iu [21:26] care = no [21:26] can someone kick oCean? he/she's very annoying [21:26] maxflax wrong nick, sorry, i was addressing mgeary [21:26] maxflax: set different TCP_SOCKET options in /etc/samba/smb.conf [21:26] guntbert: I know. Guess they don't need 777 [21:26] Nothing better to do eh? [21:26] mgeary Karmic is no longer supported [21:26] MonkeyDust: wait, so 8.x is supported, but 9.x isn't?? [21:26] actionparsnip: thx I have the live CD up now [21:27] but I want any files copied or created to a folder to at least by 766 ... or even 666 [21:27] I need them to be readable and writeable [21:27] ActionParsnip: Explain a little closer what u mean.. what diffrent should I set and how does it affect speed? [21:27] area51pilot_: you have a LOT of messing around to do as you used wubi, a normal install is a tonne easier [21:27] mgeary 8.04 is an LTS, i think [21:28] well, so those packages are just gone? surely i can point apt-get to somewhere else and still get them? [21:28] maxflax: there are a tonne of options you can add, there are sampls online, you change them on the server side, you'll need to restart the smbd service to apply the settings' [21:28] mgeary: 8.04 is only supported on the server [21:28] I seem to have alsa pick wrong. /proc/asound/cards says 0 Generic and 1 SB ; /proc/asound/modules both say snd_hda_indel. So how do I force it to the SB? [21:29] Any suggestions? [21:29] mgeary: none of the 8.04 desktop, 8.10, 9.04 and 9.10 are dead and gone [21:30] TeamFDcoAdmin: I'd go for a clean install of oneiric [21:30] TeamFDcoAdmin: the way will be 10.10->11.04->11.10 [21:30] or a fresh install [21:31] how can i connect to an unencrypted wpa router from terminal? [21:31] guntbert, yes, i know but could it harm my system i i upgrade? [21:31] RoadsterGT there's iwlist and iwconfig [21:31] as I understand, you update 8.04 to 10.04 directly, since it is next and current LTS release [21:31] TeamFDcoAdmin: in my experience not, but you see opinions differ - in any case you should back up your data first [21:31] MonkeyDust, i know the SSID what is the command to use? [21:32] guntbert, okay im gonna upgrade as soon as i backed up my data thanks for your answer [21:32] RoadsterGT try iwlist ap (stands for acces point) [21:32] RoadsterGT: iwconfig can do it, or if you use wicd, it has wicd-curses :) [21:32] TeamFDcoAdmin: Good luck :-) [21:33] ActionParsnip, i dont want to use wicd-curses [21:34] just upgraded && sound keeps muting/unmuting very fast producing a clipping noise -- you can pop into alsamixer && see the channels muting/unmuting -- ideas? [21:34] is there a way to see all opened windows like in MacOS? [21:34] SoWhat: in unity? press win+w [21:35] andyn: thanks! [21:35] any suggestions on how to set the default sound card? I can't force the index in alsa-base since they use the same module apparently [21:35] how about seeing all windows from currently opened app? [21:35] RoadsterGT: then iwconfig willdo it [21:36] Starting a VPS, which OS should I use? [21:36] Aric: debian [21:37] Debian 6, instead of Ubuntu Server 10.04? [21:37] yo this is driving me nuts, I have a SMB share on my Mac which mounts fine on a Windows PC but my Ubuntu machine refuses [21:37] Aric: this channel is for ubuntu technical support [21:37] huh: debian isn't supported here [21:37] all I get is: [ 555.591631] CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -22 [21:37] username is correct, password is correct, workgroup is correct...

I asked about setting default sound card in oneric [21:39] SoWhat: i'm not sure about that. maybe someone more experienced with compiz can help. [21:39] huh: ah misread, my bad. [21:40] huh: you can set it in Sound icon in dash under the hardware tab [21:40] Question :: Is there any reason to use Ubuntu Server 11.04 vs 10.04 as I have both options on Rackspace? [21:40] how to set compiz back to the very standard settings ? [21:40] ActionParsnip: in the os, I dont have windowmanagers [21:41] i tried setting a key for "initiate window picker for window group" in ccsm but it did nothing on chrome with multiple windows, though. [21:41] huh: so what is drawing your app windows? [21:41] ActionParsnip: I don't have any, [21:42] huh: I see, server install?

[21:46] thanks guys - I wanted something without the need of 3d driver [21:46] What's the name of the Main Menu Editor in Ubuntu, it seems to be not implemented [21:46] andyn: It looks like there isnt such keyboard shortcut :( [21:47] platzhirsch try alacarte [21:47] thanks [21:48] huh: I believe its default across the board [21:49] MonkeyDust: interesting, alacarte tells me the program is in the main menu, but using the dash screen, it does not appear, hard to add it to the jumper menu [21:50] MonkeyDust: restart ftw [21:51] Can someone help me with nTop?

[22:54] one notification is more than enough [22:54] repeated notifications are just tedious [22:54] like, I've my / mounted on /mnt/sda5 [22:55] how about getting a new hdd? :D [22:55] well yes [22:55] ideally i will [22:55] but not right now [22:55] besides the error it's freaking out about isn't that major [22:55] yeah, just kidding. sorry couldn't resist. well look in your process list and maybe you'll find which one spawns them [22:55] the drive isn't dying, it just went over a tolerance [22:56] i tried.. i have no idea [23:01] hi, after doing some quick research, i'm preparing to move my ubuntu system to a new computer. my plan is to make a backup of pckgs using dpkg, rsync my home directory, and then install the pkglist. am i missing anything? in particular, will this miss package configurations (like apache configs) [23:02] boxbeatsy: might want to backup /etc/ too [23:02] !clone > boxbeatsy [23:02] boxbeatsy, please see my private message [23:02] boxbeatsy: you can rsync the entire thing if you want [23:02] boxbeatsy: but you might have to debug a few missing drivers [23:03] ah i see, the hardware is definitely different. is there an easy way to fix the mismatched drivers? [23:03] boxbeatsy: yeah [23:04] boxbeatsy: if you boot up a livecd on the new system, run lspci -n and plop it into the box at http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/ [23:04] hello? [23:04] hello [23:04] ;) [23:04] boxbeatsy: for non-essential things you can temporarily add them as modules to /etc/modules [23:04] boxbeatsy: for things like HD controllers you'll have to get it into the initrd or kernel [23:04] n3bur, this is nsfw [23:04] http://eugenekay.com/img/rule34-sammich.jpg [23:04] but its rule 34 [23:04] and i was appaled [23:05] andyou must watch [23:05] reisio: cool, thanks a bunch! [23:05] eternalulz: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:05] :( [23:05] reisio: i thought ubuntu had everything enabled as modules [23:05] i got in trouble :( [23:05] boxbeatsy: something else you could do is a fresh install, so all the drivers are auto-config'd [23:05] boxbeatsy: then rsync /etc/ :p [23:05] Gentoo64: right, but critical drivers have to be loaded before the module system, by being built-in to the kernel or inside the initrd [23:05] reisio: hmm, yea that might be easier i think [23:06] like the driver for using the hard disk [23:06] reisio: do you think i should rsync besides my home directory and /etc [23:06] boxbeatsy: you've got the old system, so you can't really go wrong, you can always copy more over [23:06] boxbeatsy: honestly, you could just do your home directory, and copy more from /etc/ _as needed_ [23:06] like, as in if you miss something [23:06] you may well not [23:06] what is the command to upgrade 11.10 to 12.04 alpha without doing it via dailybuild iso? [23:06] /etc/should onyl be a few mv [23:07] put it on a usb stick :) [23:07] mb* [23:07] reisio: gotcha [23:08] can someone help me get the live cd to see my lan? [23:09] if i upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 will openoffice still be installed and usable or will i have to use liberation office? === zoltan is now known as Guest43979 [23:09] rchilso1: it shouldnt remove it, its libre office :) [23:10] chalcedony: lspci | grep -i net [23:10] rchilso1: it will remove openoffice and install libreoffice [23:10] rchilso1: they're barely different at this point, and you'll want LibreOffice eventually regardless [23:10] rchilso1: libreoffice is a fork of openoffice and everything which worked with openoffice should also work with libreoffice [23:10] the openoffice you've used wasn't even vanilla openoffice, it was something called go-oo, which is now part of LibreOffice === zoltan_ is now known as Guest96187 [23:11] kk i have all my templates and defaults set and didnt want to have to set it all up again so will the setting transfer? [23:13] rchilso1: first of all, why you need 11.10? [23:13] rchilso1: never touch a running system [23:13] ok, can anyone tell me how to get to the printer server administration tools? (been trying to get my printers working now for 2 weeks.) [23:13] sardior: http://localhost:631 [23:13] rchilso1: that's probably stored in your home directory, which is never altered [23:13] rchilso1: ls -a ~/ | grep -i office [23:13] rchilso1: it could also be in ~/.config/ I don't know [23:13] i'm setting up a new network for my church and wanted to migrate my current install to it. [23:14] yesterday i have installed ubuntu on my brand new toshiba L755-1c1 laptop. I resized the windows partition with gparted during ubuntu installation. After that i kwen that windows would've been messed up and as expected win7 propted me the repair stuff. After an apparently successful repair windows started completely freezing during execution (frozen curson and keybord useless). I then tried ubuntu and I have experie [23:14] nced the same issue with some disbelief. This just happend once on ubuntu, while it keeps happening on windows. I've run a complete cycle of memtest and ram seems to be ok. I have checked the hd with smart and hd seems to be ok. I have tried to fix the ntfs partition with ntfsprogs and they seems to be ok too. What could be causing this strange behaviour? [23:14] thank you iceroot [23:14] Phoenix87: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:14] erm i didn't paste [23:14] i had do explain everything [23:14] lol [23:15] 13 lines on my screen... [23:15] Phoenix87: it's really best to defrag Windows before resizing [23:15] Phoenix87: to much text to read [23:15] reisio, i did that [23:15] Phoenix87: it's a bot, you don't have to talk to it [23:15] Phoenix87: oh, downer [23:15] reisio: gparted will move any data [23:15] Thx iceroot and reisio [23:15] Gentoo64: move, yes [23:15] reisio, i was apologizing with everyone in here [23:15] Is anyone having new issues with Empathy and MSN? Since this morning I haven't been able to reconnect my MSN account. [23:15] * reisio shrugs [23:15] reisio: same as defrag :) [23:15] Gentoo64: nope [23:16] Is anyone having new issues with Empathy and MSN? Since this morning I haven't been able to reconnect my MSN account. AIM works fine, as does Windows Live on Windows. [23:16] Sorry for double post, accidentally hit enter [23:16] reisio: how? [23:16] anyway i did defrag twice before resizing the partition [23:16] Gentoo64: how what [23:16] reisio: if it detects any data on the partition itll move it [23:16] so it dont get cut off [23:16] Phoenix87: have you run a chkdsk? [23:16] yes [23:16] Gentoo64: I already agreed it will move data [23:16] i scheduled one at startup [23:16] a full one [23:17] Phoenix87: you could try a "repair" install from a Windows disc [23:17] reisio: so no different to defragging, moving data to the start of the disk [23:17] i even used those ntfsprogs tools from linux [23:17] Phoenix87: it might delink your installed apps, I forget how that works [23:17] reisio, unfortunately toshiba doesn't ship dvd [23:17] Gentoo64: defragging is more than just moving data to the beginning of the disk [23:17] i have a partition for repair [23:17] but i don't know how to use it [23:17] Phoenix87: mmm [23:17] reisio: i know, im saying in this case it isnt different [23:18] Phoenix87: assuming it isn't automated, if you boot it up, it might offer you a repair option [23:18] Phoenix87: some of them only offer restoring the original installed system (covering the whole hard disk) [23:18] Gentoo64: I know you are, but it is [23:18] i see [23:18] reisio, i've read something about the usual f8 at boot [23:18] ##windows might have more ideas [23:18] and that the repair stuff could cause a factory reset of the machine [23:19] reisio: how so? [23:19] Phoenix87: it could indeed [23:19] just wana know thats all [23:19] i guess i shall give it a try [23:19] thanks reisio [23:19] defragging organizes files and keeps their separate bits together === luist_ is now known as luist [23:20] yeah, but how is that different to gparted moving data that would be in use? [23:20] in terms of data loss [23:20] Phoenix87: I have encountered issues where laptops used some kind of enhanced sata mode set in the bios [23:20] Phoenix87: for pretending two hard disks are one, say [23:21] Phoenix87: which is fraught with problems [23:21] i need a link for advanced unity users please. [23:21] reisio, hmm [23:21] Does someone know why chromium-daily/beta is not showing in synaptic? [23:21] Gentoo64: it's aaaaaabbbbbb vs abababababababa [23:21] reisio, i think that my laptop has just one hd [23:21] reisio: still dont understand lol [23:21] Phoenix87: might still check BIOS options, though if it _is_ something like that the damage may already be done [23:22] Gentoo64: there are things I don't understand [23:22] reisio: having gparted move data wont defrag it ofc, but imo theres still no need for defragging before partitioning [23:22] why is it only one hardisk by the way [23:22] as used data is moved anyway [23:22] reisio, i think i'll do that too thanks :D [23:23] Phoenix87: also http://linux-laptop.net/ and if you do a search for the model at ubuntuforums.org, you might encounter a known issue [23:23] Gentoo64: ideally there isn't [23:23] but Windows and NTFS are far from ideal [23:24] oh reisio, nice. I didn't know about that site :D [23:24] yeah, they spew data [23:24] thnx [23:24] all over the place [23:26] Gentoo64, they are not throwing it all over. It's systematicly placed so that you will need to upgrade to the next version. ;) [23:28] when i installed mysql-server why did apt get install mysql 5.1 not 5.5? [23:29] How do you stop Ubuntu from starting all programs that were running the last time Ubuntu was shut down? [23:29] Since it's so quite... I have a paper I am writing on Linux for my final. I pretty much have it complete, looking for some good points that can help fill it out. === enchilado is now known as WildE [23:30] zilly, There should be an option for a safe mode that will keep program scripts from running. [23:31] Xeneth, is there any other way? I don't really want to boot into a safe mode. [23:32] Xeneth: hahah [23:32] zilly go to preferences in the main menu and check the options tab and tell it not to rember running apps at startup === WildE is now known as enchilado [23:33] start up option [23:33] I'm just wondering, if I accidentally deleted a shortcut, how can I find out the command to run a game I have? [23:33] The game is aquaria [23:34] which aquaria? [23:34] vock: is it a linux game or a wine game? [23:34] locate aquaria | grep usr [23:34] it's linux native [23:34] from the humble bundles [23:34] ActionParsnip: linux [23:34] vock: dpkg -L aquaria should still know where it is [23:34] dpkg -L aquaria | grep bin [23:35] you could probably even reinstall to get the shortcut back, simply [23:35] it's all in /opt/Aquaria/ nothing in /usr [23:35] your saves or whatever are probably all in ~/ [23:35] vock: then run: sudo find / | grep aqua will find the file more than likely [23:35] I was trying to avoid that and hope there was a smart way to do it [23:35] vock: right, but you installed it with dpkg, no? [23:35] reisio: yup [23:35] then dpkg should know about it, I would think [23:36] vock: mine is at /top/aquaria/aquaria [23:36] vock: mine is at /opt/aquaria/aquaria even [23:36] vock: if you run: ln -s /opt/aquaria/aquaria /usr/bin/aquaria then create a launcher to run: aquaria [23:36] hi all [23:37] may i install mac's dpkg.zip in ubuntu ? [23:37] assuming /opt/ isn't already in your path [23:37] ActionParsnip, reisio: so is mine apparently, thanks for those commands, learned something new which is what i was hoping for [23:37] tamir: Ubuntu already has dpkg [23:37] vock: echo $PATH [23:37] how i install? === derp is now known as Pussy === [1]a904 is now known as a904 [23:38] tamir: it's already installed, it's an integral part of Ubuntu [23:38] reisio: /opt/ isn't in my path, which explains why it wasn't working === Pussy is now known as pussy [23:38] vock: every day is a school day :) [23:39] especially M-F if you're in school [23:41] Hello. Since today my Wlan does connect but theres no route to the router/internet. Another Wlan works tough (Android-Thetering) and other Computers can connect to the internet using the Wlan router. Any suggestions? [23:42] Im on xfce but I want to try evilwm, how do I stop X ? === pussy is now known as derp [23:43] x_: you could log out and see if your DM can find it [23:43] otherwise, sudo service lightdm stop, probably [23:43] reisio, yea, it doesn't/ [23:44] bummah [23:44] probably needs help [23:44] x_: you could always create a .desktop file for it in /usr/share/xsessions [23:45] what dm are you using x_? [23:45] trism, what needs to be in this file? [23:45] benbloom, whatever comes with xubuntu === rymate1234 is now known as rymate1234|away [23:46] from a tty try sudo stop gdm [23:47] x_: generally just copy one of the other files there and edit the name and exec lines (at minimum you could just Exec=evilwm) [23:47] trism, sweet thx [23:47] unless i'm misunderstanding your question. youaasked how to stop x right? [23:47] Trying to boot into Ubuntu. Computer locks up after grub. Can't get to tty, can someone help? [23:47] benbloom, yea, that just reloads x for me [23:48] What's up ubuntu [23:48] It's been a while [23:48] what is up, Ray24 [23:49] Phr3d13: which GPU do you use? [23:49] Nvidia [23:49] Ups my wlan works suddenly again. Thanks! [23:50] Phr3d13 if you can get to tty you know how to fix it? ... you can try and get there by using recovery mode and then mounting fs from the read only console? [23:50] Phr3d13: add the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1 [23:50] Anyone else getting a bunch of bad md5sum's from apt-get/wget against ubuntu repo's today? [23:51] Grub doesn't seem to accept any edits I make [23:51] Phr3d13: to /etc/default/grub ? [23:51] !bootoptions | Phr3d13 [23:51] In grub [23:51] Phr3d13: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions See also !nomodeset. [23:52] Phr3d13: the grub menu at bootup? [23:52] Right [23:52] Phr3d13: you're using CTRL+x? [23:52] F10 [23:53] and what're you expecting it to do? [23:53] Hey #ubuntu. I am running ubuntu 11.04 with Xmonad on a new HP Pavilion g4 laptop. I was previously running the identical setup on an old Acer laptop (both AMD 64 procs; the current one is dual-core)... old box never crashed the whole time I had it. This one will lock up (screen goes black, only responds to hard reboot) randomly. CPU/RAM load is never high. [23:54] Just wondering if anyone had thoughts on 1) how I can trace the problem and 2) if anyone else experienced similar things on HP laptops [23:54] yaaase: did you test your memory using memtest in grub [23:54] yaaase: identical as in identical? You copied it over? [23:55] I tried nomodeset nosplash text, and I still get splash screen [23:55] reisio: no, but I fresh installed ubuntu 11.04 from the same disk, and installed xmonad identically [23:55] kay [23:55] ActionParsnip: I did not test with memtest, will look that up now, ty [23:55] Phr3d13: where'd you put it? [23:56] The line with Linux /boot/vmlinuz... [23:57] I'm trying to run a daemon through upstart, triggered by the 'input-device-added' event. however, the daemon does not start correctly and seemingly gets killed by Upstart when it outputs the line 'Device name: :0' any ideas on trying to launch at the right time without using Upstart or on how to improve my Upstart script? === derp is now known as ________________ [23:58] shameless advertise of forum post; http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1889361 for a little more detail
