stepnjumpDoes anyone know if there is a way to mount a remote optical drive on my desktop? I have a small acer netbook and of course, it doesn't have a built in CD reader on it....00:01
escottstepnjump, dd it to a disk image on another system, and then mount that image in a loopback00:01
Mars11_Anyone?00:02
Millerl me the channel for backtrack00:02
stepnjumpescott: oh wow.. that seems to be complex!00:02

matinhey toddnine00:02
matineven when i used sftp00:03
stepnjumpok I understand dd it escott but then after that?00:03
matinstill permission denied00:03
Millerirc.freenode.net00:03
stepnjumpescott: it's a commercial CD so it has protections on it. I tried to shrink it to an iso but it failed00:03
escottstepnjump, not really. dd if=/dev/dvd of $HOME/dvd.img00:03
escottstepnjump, then copy that over and mount -o loop dvd.img /mountpoint00:03
escottMars11_, what was the question?00:04
stepnjumpok escott so it will shrink it to dvd.img?00:04
stepnjumpoh gosh... you are a wizz escott ok I will try!00:04
escottstepnjump, what do you mean shrink it? dvd.img would be a bit-for-bit copy of the dvd00:04
stepnjumpOh that's awsome escott! I will try what you say. I will get back here in a few minutes to let you know how it turns out00:05
Mars11_Okay, so I have this flash drive that shows up as two disks. I know it's not two partitions because one is sdc and the other is sdd. It's also not a U3 drive.00:05
stepnjumpthank you escott00:05
Steakhey, I'm trying to install memtest86 to a USB key, and it says "use the base device the device is assigned to"  I put a USB stick in, that says "OCZ Diesel", which is obviously not the base device, how can I determine the base?00:06
Millernot in the list of xchat something like irc.freenode.net00:06
DJAnonimohi, anyone knows why samba asks me for credentials on a open share ? before reinstalling ubuntu anything was fine00:06
frogonwheelsMars11_: that happens a  bit - there's usually some kind of 'loader' on one of them - read-only00:06
Millerim looking for the backtrack irc00:06
DJAnonimoi would like to mount a share with fstab00:06
Mars11_It's not a U3. But one drive is read-only.00:06
Steaksorry for reposting my question, just didn't see any responses before00:06
whyDJAnonimo: it had your creditials saved00:07
frogonwheelsMars11_: usually a windows exe of course :)00:07
escottSteak, a lot of ways /proc/partitions, or look at the output of mount00:07
=== sweetgrass_ is now known as sweetgrass
Mars11_frogonwheels: No, it's a PDF.00:07
escottMars11_, it could be in the firmware for the device00:07
Millerany one knowof the backtrack irc channel and how i can connect to it00:07
Mars11_Is there any way to change it?00:07
escott!backtrack > Miller00:08
ubottuMiller, please see my private message00:08
escottMars11_, if it isn't a U3 the only way to change it would be to go in there with a knife00:08
Mars11_:\00:08
Mars11_Oh...00:09
DJAnonimowhy... nope the share is open and can be viewed without credentials on other PCs. no password needed00:09
frogonwheelsMars11_: nfi - I guess there might be a custom way of doing it - but it's probably not with the drivers00:09
DJAnonimothe other side is winXP00:09
frogonwheelsMars11_: more likely it's fixed.00:09
matinso is anyone good with ftp?00:09
matinor could help me with some permission problems?00:09
whymatin: what permissions?00:10
frogonwheelsmatin: bad question.   state your problem00:10
Steakthanks escott, I found partitions, how do I use it?00:11
escottSteak, you found the device /dev/sdX# that matches your usb device?00:11
Mars11_escott: So is there any way?00:12
Steakescott: I found the partitions file, wondering what to do with it00:12
Steakgedit?00:12
escottMars11_, if its in hardware not really00:13
Mars11_escott: Could there be a way to do it with software?00:13
matinalright, so when i tried to upload my files to my server00:13
matinI was originally getting 550 error00:13
escottSteak, no just read it. you are trying to figure out what matches the usb device. alternately if the usb is mounted you can run `mount` and figure out what device is mounted on the mount point (where you would go to put files on the usb)00:14
matinthen someone told me to use sftp00:14
matinso i did, and now I'm getting 553 error00:14
matinactually00:14
matinnow I'm getting "permission denied00:14
matinError:rm /home/fouad/public_html/js/init.js: permission denied00:14
stepnjumpsudo dd if=/media/'1st CD' of $HOME/dvd.img escott, are you sure it's 'of'? I get the error code dd: unrecognized operand `of'00:15
escottMars11_, a USB device can be whatever it wants, and tell the os whatever it wants, and it doesnt have to listen to anything the os tells it. so no guarantee you can do anything in software00:15
MadMikecan't login with gdm or lightdm (i just get thown back to the greeter), but works with xdm... any ideas?00:15
escottstepnjump, of=$HOME/dvd.img  and you need to dd the raw device /dev not the mountpoint/media00:15
MadMikeusing ubuntu 11.1000:15
stepnjumpoh ok escott. I'll try again00:15
PeyamHi00:16
stepnjumpok escott, so I mount it in /dev?00:16
escottSteak, the gui may be easier for you. its called disk utility00:16
PeyamI tried to  set the monitor up with a Hdmi cable. from my stationary computer to the Tv00:16
PeyamI cant see anything. I tried to install the drives. and it cant find anuthing in  additional drive00:16
Steakescott: I got it... was trying to figure out how to read the file00:17
escottstepnjump, no. so /dev/dvd *is* the raw contents of the dvd. if you sudo head /dev/dvd you will see the beginning lines of the dvds raw structure. that is what you want to copy with dd00:17
Steakok I found what I was looking for, it was /dev/sdb, thanks for the help00:17
matinso any ideas? why and frogonwheels00:17
Mars11_:\ Okay, thanks for your help. escott and frogonwheels.00:17

ubottusudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.

WanderingEnderUNR3S0LV3D: then what are you after? be specific. What program?02:32
zykotick9sn0wl1nux, an MD5 is useless, unless you have an origional to compare your generated one to.  It's to check if an image was downloaded correctly.02:32

VermindHi, I switched to the dark Adwaita theme and added a gtk-color-scheme line to gtk-2.0/gtkrc as per the instructions in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=928975 . However, my GNOME 2 windows (like Pidgin and Firefox) have a white titlebar (regular adwaita style), while GNOME 3 windows are fine. The funny thing is that if I switch to regular, unmodified Adwaita, then restart gnome shell (Alt-F2 r) and then switch to the dark version, G02:35
geoffmccUNR3S0LV3D: are you refering to seting up an apache vhost?02:35

ActionParsnipTubuktu: you will need to change /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname   there is a command to change it on the fly but I'm unsure how it will work with network hardware, you may need to restarty networking too02:41
TubuktuActionParsnip, what is the command to change them on the fly?02:41
Tubuktuand do i have to reboot02:41
ActionParsnipTubuktu: I'd suggest a reboot, covers all bases02:42
zykotick9Tubuktu, be sure to edit BOTH files - did you see "/msg ubottu hostname"02:42
Tubuktuyes02:42
Tubuktu!hostname02:42
ubottuUse hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly.02:42

TelamonAnyone know why my sound would suddenly stop working with the 3.0.0 kernel?  3.0.3 won't work with my graphics card, so I can't use that.  soundcard works fine on 2.6 kernels, volume isn't muted, detects fine, just no sound...02:44
TubuktuVermind, before networking starts02:44
ActionParsnipTubuktu: does it need to run as root?02:44
Tubuktuyes it needs sudo02:45
asw3‎someone here know to deal with tar.gz?02:45
ActionParsnipTubuktu: the you can add it in /etc/rc.local above the exit 0 line and it will run at boot as root02:45
Telamonasw3: tar zxf filename02:45

joe_I have a big of an issue. One of my cats walked all  the keyboard while it was plugged in to my media pc. Now, when XBMC runs in fullscreen i still have the top bar which shows the sound/network/mail/etc icons02:46

geoffmccasw3: usually there is a readme or install file when you extract02:47
TubuktuActionParsnip, i want for the system to create automatically a random hostname in each boot.02:47
ActionParsnipTubuktu: to what end, it won't achieve very much02:47

totesmuhgoatsis anyone having problems with the splash screen on boot? when i boot 11.10 i get a purple screen, but I never see the bootloader, then i may or may not briefly get the ubuntu logo right before the login manager appears02:48

ActionParsnipasw3: try:  sudo apt-get update    first02:48
TubuktuActionParsnip, do you know how could i do something like that in bash? Assume i already have a hostname.txt which is a list of 100 valid hostnames. How can i use this together with the hostname command to randomly (or even in order) choose a hostname out of that list? (i then can run this script automatically at boot)02:49
asw3‎i am using with ubuntu 9.1002:49
asw3‎it should be a problem?02:49
ActionParsnipasw3: wait, what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc02:49
jtokarchukTubuktu: Python sounds like the answer02:49
asw3‎type "lsb_release -sc"?02:49
asw3‎karmic02:49
ActionParsnipasw3: karmic is no longer support here or anywhere else, it is EOL02:49
jtokarchukTubuktu, and out of curiousity, why with the random hostnames?02:50
ActionParsnipasw3: karmic is offtopic here02:50
asw3‎so i will not able to install these pack?02:50
asw3‎its old pack02:50
ActionParsnipasw3: not using the repos as they are disabled02:50
asw3‎what is mean "repos"?02:51
Tubuktujtokarchuk, it would go well with macchanger or each boot to have a random mac + random hostname = complete anonymity02:51
ActionParsnip!repo02:51
ubottuThe packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories02:51
asw3‎i cant build the tar.gz by my self?02:51
ActionParsnipasw3: karmic isn't supported here. I suggest you upgrade to Lucid02:52
WanderingEnderasw3: Is there a reason you haven't upgraded to 10.04?02:52
ActionParsnipasw3: you can do it by yourself but we cannot help you here02:52
Tubuktujtokarchuk, could i use perl for that or python is the best bet?02:52
asw3‎i heard about problem with unity02:52
WanderingEnderasw3: 10.04 LTS does not have Unity.02:52
asw3‎Wanderin1Ender, i am afraid to broke my system02:53
jtokarchukTubuktu, you can use whatever you want, you would read each line of text (one hostname per line) into an array, and pick a random array[x] number02:53
WanderingEnderasw3: Then we cannot help you, I'm sorry, as ActionParsnip said. Good luck!02:53
joe_How can i make the top status bar go away when trying to make an app launch fullscreen?02:53
asw3‎LTS=it mean that i will be able to install it once and get support for ever?02:53
asw3‎or its also end after some years?02:54
joe_regardless of the app i run, it's always windowed and the status bar is always visible02:54
Tubuktujtokarchuk, how can it be random? should i use a pseudorandom number generator?02:54
ariane5my dvd not boot system installer what can i do ?02:54
joe_ariane5, try a usb stick02:55
jtokarchukin pseducode : y = random 1-100; hostname = array[y], after you have read the hostnames into your array02:55
joe_or quite possibly the alternate  (text based) installer02:55
jtokarchukTubuktu, ^^02:55
stepnjumpescott, thank you... it worked great with dd ! Thank you a million02:55
asw3‎Wanderin1Ender,ubuntu have dist like it?02:55
ariane5aha02:55
WanderingEnderasw3: I'm sorry, what was your question? Do I have 10.04?02:56
Tubuktujtokarchuk, k nice. so i guess random is a function of python which uses /dev/random ? or its on RNG02:56
asw3‎if i will install 10.04 the support is forever?02:56
asw3‎or also ending?02:56
WanderingEnderasw3: No, its always rolling.02:56
WanderingEnder!LTS | asw302:56
ubottuasw3: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04)02:56
ActionParsnipasw3: LTS is supported for 3 years, so Lucid will be supported til April next year. Your release is old. Personally I'd clean install Oneiric and restore your user data from backup02:56
Tubuktui g2g THANKS ALL02:57
WanderingEnderActionParsnip: If he hates Unity, he could stay on 10.04, but I just did an upgrade path from 10.04 to 11.10 on a netbook because, well. everything is ancient. :)02:57

jtokarchukTubuktu,  yes, but as I said you can use whatever language fits you. Why is anonymity so important?02:58
ActionParsnipWanderingEnder: we don't know if s/he does or not02:58
asw3‎its not really relevant to this chan02:58

rypervencheseroquel: I have it, but rarely use it.03:00
WanderingEnderThat's all.03:00
asw3‎maybe just to try it03:00

rypervencheseroquel: Unzip the tarball then run it.03:02
asw3‎can i update without clean install?03:03
ActionParsnipasw3: its like marmite, you either love it, hate it or grow to like it03:03
asw3‎or from 9.10 to 10.04 its not recommend?03:03
WanderingEnderasw3: It took me 6 hours to upgrade from 10.04 to 11.10, are you sure you want to do that?03:03
asw3‎6hours?03:04
asw3‎wow03:04
asw3‎it depend the internet speed?03:04
WanderingEnderasw3: Its easier just to backup your personal files and install 11.10 from scratch.03:04
WanderingEnderasw3: Only slightly. Each update is about 1100 packages.03:04
OerHeksinternet speed, machine specs ..03:04
WanderingEnderSo, for me, about 30 minutes to DL, then 1.5 to 2 hours to install/uninstall/update packages. Each install.03:05
asw3‎so you recommend  me to back my home folder and install from scratch?03:05
asw3‎back up*03:05
asw3‎6 hour is a lot of time03:05
jtokarchukasw3, that was the windmill he was tilting at, yes.03:06

michaeljwjrHello everyone. Is there an up to date guide that explains how to mount my windows partition so it mounts, and then mounts on boot.03:45
ActionParsnipmichaeljwjr: you will need to add it in /etc/fstab03:46
michaeljwjryes I am a noob so I need a guide to follow with commands and such.03:46
OerHeksjups fstab03:46
kayghardanny: it's a generic (for x11) terminal emulator, while gnome-terminal is (guess what) gnome specific.03:46

rocketsWill the 32-bit edition of Ubuntu recognize 4gb of ram, or will it only use 3.5, like Windows XP does?03:49
dr_willisrockets:  in part thats a hardware ussue. id say it would act the same.03:50
rocketsdr_willis, Yeah I know, but for example, Windows 7 generally shows all 4gb, in my experience, even on machines that have the 3.5 issue with XP03:50
ActionParsniprockets: you can install pae kernel and you can access up to 64Gb RAM in 32bit03:50
rocketsActionParsnip, alright, but do I need PAE for 4gb?03:50
ActionParsniprockets: under 32bit, yes03:51
rocketsMy understanding is that using PAE involves a performance hit, at least on Windows03:51
dr_willis64bit may also not show all of the 4 gb.03:51
rocketsdr_willis, that's . . . not true.03:51
rocketsdr_willis, there is no hardware issue with my machine limiting it to 3.5gb if thats what you mean03:51
pokpongIf I want everyone on my LAN to be able to acces my web server typing sever.net does I have to setup DNS bind9 or it's overkill ?03:51
dr_willisrockets:  from my research it is03:51
rocketsdr_willis, yeah if your machine only supports 3.5. That is not the case with mine.03:51

michaeljwjrEverything just works so much nicer.04:16
ActionParsnipmichaeljwjr: plus the community and support is a lot larger04:16
DrkCodemanisn't mint based on ubuntu04:16
ActionParsnipDrkCodeman: yes04:17
DrkCodemanas ubuntu is based on debian04:17
dannyActionParsnip: go to Ubuntu Software Center and get XChat04:17
KFPHmm, how would I go about installing a specific version of a package? One that's slightly *older* than what the repos are offering?04:17
BsimsDrkCodeman: though they now are going straight to a modified debian IIRC04:17
DEAD|VGAUbuntu is based on Debian because Redhat sucks, and Debian is KING04:17
dr_willisnot quite identical relatiinship DrkCodeman04:17

dr_willisbye all bbl04:18
BesogonHi! Does someone know where to mount the hard drive?04:18
ActionParsnipdanny: i've probably tried them all, pidgin just seems to gel in looks and functionality here, so I use it04:19
dannyActionParsnip: well I guess if you are more comfortable with it and it works for you keep using it04:19
ActionParsnipBesogon: you can mount it anywhere except in /proc04:19
BsimsActionParsnip: heh I can run irssi dead drunk and have04:19
ActionParsnipdanny: indeed ;). I only use irssi as I ssh home from work to pass time04:19
KFPOps might want to kick "hans_reiser".04:19

pokpongoh i found the way to do it...msg me anyone if interested04:21
BesogonActionParsnip: yes. I know. But what is the correct place? "/media" is for removable devices. "/mnt" is for temporary mounted file system.... What else? Where should be mounted permanet file system?04:21

danny    04:23
ActionParsnipBesogon: again, literally anywhere you want04:23
ActionParsnipBesogon: you can make a subfolder in /media and use that if you want04:24
BsimsBesogon: somewhere under /mnt is traditional04:24
BesogonOK04:24
* Bsims never got used to /media instead of /mnt04:24
ActionParsnipBesogon: /mnt can be used to mount ANYTHING, you can run:  sudo mount /dev/sr0 /mnt    and it will work04:24
dannyActionParsnip: how do you know so much about Ubuntu04:25
BesogonActionParsnip: Oh!! I didn't know thank you04:25
ActionParsnipBesogon: there is no "that folder is for that reason", whoever told you that is wrong04:25
somsipBesogon: though FHS does suggest a standard, it doesn't mean it cannot be deviated from04:25
ActionParsnipBesogon: gvfs is just configured to use folders in /media to, that's all04:25
ActionParsnipdanny: 11 years not give it away?04:26
ActionParsnipdanny: I've used a lot more distros than just ubuntu04:26
BsimsActionParsnip: heh what was your first distro? Mine was SuSE 6. something I remember it had the experimental 2.4.0 kernel04:26
ActionParsnipBsims: mandrake 704:26
DrkCodemanis there a mirror for ubuntu so im not throttled on download speed?04:26
ActionParsnipDrkCodeman: do you mean for updates?04:27
dannyActionParsnip: I really use like 404:27
ActionParsnipDrkCodeman: look into apt-fast :)04:27
DrkCodemanno i mean for the latest iso for 64 bit04:27
ActionParsnipDrkCodeman: use torrents04:27
DrkCodemantorrents suck04:27
ActionParsnipDrkCodeman: really, ubuntu torrents successfully max my connection out04:27
pp7DrkCodeman: why?04:27
DrkCodemanusing billions of sockets to download is retarded04:27
pp7DrkCodeman: its not billions of sockets04:28
ActionParsnipDrkCodeman: you can use axel to download the same file from 2 places at the same time04:28
ActionParsnipDrkCodeman: there aren't even a billion sockets to use04:28
Arcademanlol04:28
DrkCodemanof course there isn't lol just making a point04:28
pp7LOL04:28
pp7DrkCodeman: what point?04:28
dannyyou mad no point at all04:29
DrkCodemanit's inefficient to your os and nic and it will run slower on the download rather than getting it from something like nzb04:29
pp7point is torrents are faster (with many seeds which is the case when downloading ubuntu)04:29
Jim449991hail !04:29
OerHeksDrkCodeman, it is worth the waiting04:30
pp7DrkCodeman: i've downloaded an ubuntu ISO at 3MB/sec over bittorrent04:30
pp7DrkCodeman: much faster than from a single mirrow04:30
ActionParsnipDrkCodeman: try axel with 2 sources (of the same file), it will pull it down from both at the same time, apt-fast uses the same method for system updates and installs04:30
pp7mirror*04:30
DrkCodemanwinsock is horrible im not on linux yet04:30

pp7lauratika: and try without sudo05:24
RichTUKchris_ace2, if you turn the computer upside down it should say, maybe, thats where mine is05:24
pp7lauratika: do same for https05:25
lauratikawith sudo brings the help menu with out bring the terminal name again05:25
chris_ace2RichTUK: which one do i turn upside down?05:25
pp7ah05:25
pp7lauratika: try sudo export http_proxy= (enter)05:26

tonyyarussoacu: However, 10.04 and Squeeze had similar freeze dates.05:29
acuwell - indirect closest guess05:29
chris_ace2RichTUK: says NTLDR is missing05:29
tonyyarussoSqueeze was slightly later.05:29
pp7lauratika: yes05:29
tonyyarussoacu: So, some mix of 10.04 and 10.10 probably.05:29
lauratikawell bring the help menu05:29

chris_ace2woo too thank you RichTUK its doing something!05:39
ghotiIf I `ufw allow {yadda}`, I gather that ufw sets up my iptables directly, but does it store my change anywhere?  If I have custom allow rules, what's the recommended way to make them come back when I reboot?05:39
RichTUKchris_ace2, awesome, whats it saying in terminal05:40
chris_ace2RichTUK i typed it into google and found it05:40
RichTUKchris_ace2, dont be an idiot its a promt command05:41
RichTUKchris_ace2, maybe its a vga problem tho, i remember there was a common problem that vga took power away from the cd drives in 8.1005:42
chris_ace2RichTUK i have a ati card05:42
RichTUKchris_ace2, ah maybe its that, linux has huge ati issues, sometimes i think it works best with no gfx card attall05:42
MahaVishnunvidia is the way to go for linux.05:43
chris_ace2ati is great has always worked and i am trying to upgrade to 8.1005:44
dr_willisati has linux issues. :-)  not linuxs fault05:44
dj_segfaultThe problem is, every year or so that flip flops.  For a while ATI worked with Linux much more closely than NVidia,  but right now NVidia works better.05:44
MahaVishnuidk, i've always had problems with ati + linux so I just stopped buying them.05:45
chris_ace2should i upgrade to nvidia before upgrading to 8.10?05:45
dr_williswe will hav to see how ati and nvudia handle wayland when it gets here.05:45
MahaVishnuchris_ace2, no see if your card works.. why wouldn't you.05:45
chris_ace2it won't boot05:45

dr_willisflash in synaptic is a flash installer tool.not flash itself05:47

MahaVishnutruepurple, since it wants you to use apt for ubuntu anyway lol.06:10
chris_ace2So I guess not?06:10
RichTUKchris_ace2, you need to get into your bios06:10
RichTUKand tell it to boot from cd06:10
pers3usaarrgghh .. whatever you do your cd will spin.06:11
chris_ace2how?06:11
dr_willistruepurple: i only use the packages from the repos. i never directly download from adobe.06:11
MahaVishnuchris_ace2, esc. del f12 it will tell you on your screen on boot how to enter setup or bios.06:11
truepurpledr_willis, why is that?06:11
truepurpleMahaVishnu, should I install the version listed in synaptic as well?06:11

dr_willisits easier.. for one rhing truepurple06:11
MahaVishnutruepurple, is your flash not working now?06:12

pers3usthere will be some options06:12
pers3usk06:12
dr_willisi basically turn off flash these days06:12
ActionParsniptruepurple: using the repos is gppd as when a new version is updated on the repo, you will get the new flash, if you manually install you will need to manually update too06:13
truepurpleMahaVishnu, yes, but not the non-free flash listing in synaptic06:13
Transx3I just got done installing Ubuntu 11.11 but when i try to boot it gets stick at verifying dmi pool data...06:13

chris_ace2Thank you pers3us!06:13
truepurpleActionParsnip,  it is 11.0406:13
ActionParsnipTransx3: turn off the system and pull the power from the tower, leave it off for 10 - 20 mins then re-attach and turn on06:14

ActionParsnip!info adobe-installer natty06:14
ubottuPackage adobe-installer does not exist in natty06:14
truepurpleMahaVishnu, you don't have trouble with flash screens updating right sometimes or setting option darkened out?06:14
MahaVishnuActionParsnip, it's called flashplugin-installer afaik06:14
ActionParsnipTransx3: yes, your RAM is full of errors, if you power off, the errors will clear and you can boot06:14
Transx3Well, thank you.06:14
ActionParsnipMahaVishnu: yeah, or flashplugin-nonfree, either is fine06:14
truepurpleActionParsnip, got any idea why settings would be darkened out for my flash or how I might enable it?06:15
MahaVishnutruepurple, yes my settings are greyed out.06:15
MahaVishnutruepurple, I have never needed to look at that though until now..06:15
pers3uschris_ace2 . no prob06:15
truepurpleActionParsnip, I tried that, but it said it couldn't install, complained of dependancies06:15
Transx3Were you guys trying to get flash working on chromium or Firefox?06:15
Transx3I had to do that not too long ago on lubuntu06:16
ActionParsniptruepurple: just install flashplugin-nonfree and you will get flash, if you have a 64bit OS then I suggest you use the sevenmachines PPA (assuming its up) and install the package there06:16
ActionParsniptruepurple: can you give a PASTEBIN of the output of:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'      Thanks06:16
truepurpleActionParsnip, install it over the flash plugin installer that seems to come with its own?06:16
MahaVishnuok im confused ActionParsnip the package is flashplugin-installer isn't it ? Iwhen I search for flashplugin-nonfree I find flashplugin-installer06:17

truepurpleActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/762497/06:24
ActionParsnipmaum: or you can uncomment the lines in sources.list06:24
maumActionParsnip, should I install it from terminal using apt-get?06:24
maum??06:25
pers3usmaum why do you want synaptic?06:26
maumpers3us, not nessary to get synaptic on ubuntu 11.10?06:26
ActionParsnipmaum: whichever way you prefer06:26
pers3ustruepurple can you tell me what is the problem you facing? i saw your paste, what is the issue?06:26
ActionParsniptruepurple: seems sevenmachines ppa is totally gone :(06:26
maumpers3us, because it installs appendencies..06:26
pers3usmaum you don't need synaptic at all, if you work with command line or use software center06:27
maumpers3us, because it installs dependencies06:27
pers3usmaum: software center does that too06:27
ActionParsnipmaum: they all do, or the package system would break06:27
maumpers3us, really? on ubuntu 11.04 . it doesn't06:27
MahaVishnuActionParsnip, is this ok? I did what you said http://pastebin.com/P0CXFzSy06:27
pers3usmaum who told you that? It does ..06:27
ActionParsnipmaum: it does, if an app needs deps they are downloaded automatically06:27
truepurplepers3us, flash screens don't update right, scrolling up and down on the page fixes it, and settings option is grayed out, so messing with hardware acceleration like someone else suggested doesn't seem possible.06:28
ActionParsnipMahaVishnu: looks good, you can clean up with:  sudo dpkg -P flashplugin-downloader:i38606:28
pers3ustruepurple basically, at the moment your flash is working, though not working correctly?06:28
ActionParsniptruepurple: you could go for the manual install method with the .so, shame natty doesn't have the love :(06:28
maumpers3us, when I want to install ffmpeg, it has many dependencies but the package center didn't find the dependencies but synaptic did. so...06:29
truepurpleActionParsnip, does that have anything to do with nspluginwrapper? I uninstalled that upon instructions, I was told it was buggy06:29
truepurplepers3us, yes06:29
maumActionParsnip, where can I find the menu  (System > Administration ) on ubuntu 11.10? I cannot find it.06:29
maumwhere can I find the menu  (System > Administration ) on ubuntu 11.10? I cannot find it.06:30
pers3usmaum I think you didn't run a simple upate command after install. which downloads list of packages, whereas it gets downloaded in synaptic (not sure)  anyway, just run this command in the  sudo apt-get update06:30
MahaVishnuActionParsnip, thanks! maybe my flash won't freeze all the time now. wondering why I had 32bit flash though.06:30
maumpers3us, ok btw where can I find the menu  (System > Administration ) on ubuntu 11.10? I cannot find it.06:30
ActionParsnipMahaVishnu: its how it goes, unless you take the extra steps you'll get the 32bit06:31
ActionParsnipmaum: sudo apt-get install ffmpeg06:31
KFPmaum: See the "cog" in the upper right corner.06:31
pers3ustruepurple idoubt nspluginwrapper is culprit here, i think Adobe released a version which supports 64bit06:31
truepurplepers3us, ActionParsnip worth noting is that earlier version seemed to work fine, this flash problem came out of nowhere, but how can I use a earlier version if this is the case?06:31
MahaVishnuActionParsnip, oh wait wasn't thinking. So if you don't enable the parner repo you get 32bit flash every time?06:31
MahaVishnunever knew that.06:31
truepurplepers3us, Yes, I got the weblink, but I am told that flash plugin installer is the same06:32
maumKFP: I don't understand06:32
ActionParsnipMahaVishnu: yes06:32
pers3usokso you have latest 64 bit one installed or the old one with nspluginwrapper installd?06:32
truepurpleActionParsnip, what is sevenmachines ppa, and should I really care whether it is installed or not?06:32
KFPmaum:  The icon next to your user name and the clock.06:32
truepurplepers3us, I just reinstalled it, so I take it that is the latest, I read off a number and someone else said that is the version they have too06:33
ActionParsnipmaum: all the icons from those menus is in dash, you will have a filter on the right but a simple text search will show what you need06:33
pers3ushmm .. truepurple can you paste the output of this command dpkg --get-selections |grep flash\06:33
ActionParsniptruepurple: its an old 3rd party ppa to get beta 64bit flash in Ubbuntu, it is now stable and in the partner repo now, so maintaining the PPA is redundant06:33
pers3usignore the slash in the last06:33
maumthere is one system setting menu but there is no System > Administration menu06:33
MahaVishnufinding out I had 32bit flash on 64bit really makes me wonder what else I don't know about ubuntu.06:34
pers3ustruepurple this command dpkg --get-selections |grep flash06:34
ActionParsnipmaum: what are you wanting?06:34
maumKFP, ActionParsnip : there is system setting menu but no administration menu.06:34
ActionParsnipmaum: which icon?06:35
truepurplepers3us, flashplugin-installerinstall  flashplugin-nonfreeinstall06:35
maumKFP, ActionParsnip : I want to find administration menu06:35
ActionParsnipmaum: yes but to then do what?06:35
pers3usgimme a moment truepurple06:35
maumActionParsnip, to change gdm theme06:35
ActionParsnipmaum: search dash for:  login06:36
truepurplepers3us, also paste.ubuntu.com/762497/06:36
maumActionParsnip, I don't know what it mean06:36
truepurpleMahaVishnu, so you play flash games or use flash heavy websites? ever had trouble with flash screens updating properly?06:37
MahaVishnutruepurple, just do sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-installer && sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-downloader. then edit /etc/apt/sources.list remove the # from before the 2 lines under partner repo. save the file. do a sudo apt-get update then do a sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin then in a terminal type flash-player-properties to edit the settings ?06:37
ActionParsnipmaum: press your windows key, dash is now showing, use the keyboard to search in the search box and type:  login    then wait06:38
MahaVishnuthat look good parsnip ?06:38

truepurpleActionParsnip, instead of "sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-installer && sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-downloader."?06:44
ActionParsnipTransx3: oh yes, all I can recommend is powering off for a long time and/or taking the BIOS battery out. You need to clear the old error logs06:44

MahaVishnuruslan_osmanov, whats the point of this ?06:48
ruslan_osmanovMahaVishnu, gedit 3 has a bug in snippets06:48
Transx3So unplugging it alone won't do the trick, you gotta take out the bios battery?06:49
MahaVishnuruslan_osmanov, I could be wrong but doesn't changing a prefix of a program get done with a make file or something when building from source... someone help him lol.06:49
truepurpleMahaVishnu, use "sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer flashplugin-nonfree" as the command?06:50
MahaVishnuTransx3, taking out the battery clears the CMOS of old data06:50
MahaVishnuthats part of it...06:51
truepurpleso does temporary jumper placement, clears out the cmos without the need to remove the battery06:51
MahaVishnuhuh?06:51

truepurpleActionParsnip, a half an hour? You really think there are boards out there able to hold a charge that long?06:58
Transx3So you don't think that will work?06:58
truepurpleTransx3, well it sounds strange to me that it would take that long to remove all residue charge, most of the time they say like 30 seconds... I wouldn't get your hopes up, but it couldn't hurt to try.06:59
ActionParsnipMahaVishnu: why do you want to stop lightdm?06:59
ruslan_osmanovthere no some small 8x8 gnome icons in xfce. What should I install?06:59
ActionParsniptruepurple: i cna only call it as I see it, could also ask in ##hardware07:00
MahaVishnuActionParsnip, if I look in pstree lightdm spawns Xorg. I want to be able to kill Xorg completely and just use text terminal. but lightdm always restarts Xorg and I end up at the lightdm login screen.07:00
Transx3Damn, well, i don't know what else would fix it, i had lubuntu going and then i reinstalled Ubuntu and after it was finished i restarted to this...07:00
ActionParsnipMahaVishnu: add the boot option:  text    and you can boot to text only. You can then remove the option and boot to GUI07:01
truepurpleTransx3, I probably can't help, but what is the issue?07:01
ActionParsnipMahaVishnu: if you are installing nvidia drivers, I recommend you use the nvidia-current package (guessing what you are doing)07:02

r45c4lokk somsip so it's a problem related to the ruby configuration ??07:06
r45c4lbut anyways thanks somsip let me check at #ruby room too07:06
truepurpleTransx3, In hardware, they said (and is my understanding) if you turn off the PSU for safety, and remove the cables from the PSU, as well as the cmos battery, the drain of the board should take like 5 seconds, nowhere near 30 minutes07:07
somsipr45c4l: I have very little experience with ruby so maybe someone else can say more, but either a config issue r a bug in that gem07:07

r45c4lohh thanks somsip let me try that :) appreciate your help brother07:26
Transx3Truepurple,  Yeah.07:27
somsipr45c4l: I have no idea myself, but it looks like a good fit07:27
truepurpleMahaVishnu, I did not understand that first part of the last thing you said, and which lines do you want me to uncomment?07:27
MahaVishnutruepurple, the 2 under partner repo man...07:27
MahaVishnutruepurple, lol your still at that ? took me 2 total minutes.07:28
truepurpleTransx3, And your hard drive shows up in cmos looking like it should?07:28
Transx3Yeah.07:28
truepurpleMahaVishnu, I mentioned two lines, are those the two lines you mean?07:28
sgo11!gnome307:28
ubottuGNOME 3 is the desktop environment on which Unity is based.  To use GNOME Shell instead of Unity, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". GNOME 3 is not supported under Natty/11.04, and may break your system if installed from alternate sources.07:28
MahaVishnutruepurple, yea I told you like 10 minutes ago what to do after you asked07:28
r45c4l:) yeah somsip but it actually helps you a lot when someone give his/her time to listen to you and try to help you07:28
MahaVishnuTransx3, its possible you have a fault hardware component.07:28
r45c4lthat helps to release a lot of frustration :P07:29
truepurpleTransx3, are you sure that HDD is the one with your OS set up? Is the OS the same type as your board/memory 64bit/32bit?07:29
truepurpleMahaVishnu, after i asked, the only thing you told me with my name in it, is " lsb_release -a is it codename natty, then change maverick to natty" which I didn't understand, and to remove the pound to uncomment, which I already figured out07:31
MahaVishnutruepurple, yea and that was in response to you asking are these the correct lines, and I told you what to do after.07:31

MahaVishnuTransx3, upload it to imageshack.us07:34

Transx3Do you have to sign up?07:34

MahaVishnuits trying to make me download a .exe on the link you gave07:34
MahaVishnulol.07:34

truepurpleMahaVishnu, I know what lines to comment in now, but I still don't get what you told me after you asked which version of ubuntu I am using07:36
Transx3What? An exe? Lol07:37
truepurpleTransx3, looks like you are hanging at POST, I don't see a HDD listed in your devices.07:37
MahaVishnuI see one. it says ide channel 2 master disk 160gb07:38
Transx3It says 160 after master disk. Isn't that it?07:38
Transx3Yeah.07:38
MahaVishnuTransx3, can you change in the bios. that the HD is master of channel 1 ? and disable the dvd drive. your trying to boot from hd correct ?07:38
Transx3Yeah.07:39
truepurplethe screen shot you gave me speaks of a DVD-RW, and master-slave, you got a IDE drive? so old07:39
MahaVishnuTransx3, its possible it's a failing drive......07:39
Transx3It's an older computer. Maybe.07:39
MahaVishnulike he said ide? that disk has got to be ancient07:39
truepurpleTransx3, IDE has a frustrating master/slave system that sometimes requires messing with jumpers in the back of the drive07:40
MahaVishnuget a new comp honestly.07:40
Transx3The computer is an evetex gs3005, amd sempron.07:40
Transx3I am, but i can't for about a month. Lol07:40
truepurpleif you don't have the master/slave jumpers set right for your hardware setup, it won't work MahaVishnu07:40
MahaVishnuby the time you pay.... $60 ? if you can find a replacement drive. you can get a new emachines pc or something for like $300.07:40
StarryNightlol that is very old computer07:40
StarryNightif u still run ide07:40
Transx3I know it is. Lol07:41
truepurpleStarryNight, well lets not get carried away, IDE was on motherboards of just last year07:41
MahaVishnutruepurple, yea but his HD is alrdy a master right? can't he just move it to channel 1 and disable the dvd drive. just to simplify things ?07:41
Transx3In bios there is not and ide channel 1, just 0 and 207:41
Transx3 And 307:42
truepurpleMahaVishnu, the jumpers on the HDD still need to be set right, if its set to slave for example, it won't work, no matter the number of drives07:42
sgo11wow! just installed gnome3. gnome3 is cool. :)07:42
MahaVishnutruepurple, its gotta be set to master ( i think ) cause he was using it before!07:42
truepurpleMahaVishnu, master and slave has more to do with whether it is using part a of the IDE cable, or part b07:42
MahaVishnuI know what master/slave on ide is ;-)07:42
truepurpleTransx3, Looking at the screen shot you sent, I see a DVD drive in master, not a HDD, maybe you sent me the wrong screen shot?07:42
maumI see whenever I reboot PC. how can I fix this? http://ompldr.org/vYm1oMQ07:43
MahaVishnutruepurple, look under the top box.07:43
MahaVishnuwhere it says IDE channel 2 on the left07:43
Transx3In bios the hdd I'd ide channel 2 master07:43
StarryNighttruepurple i havnt had ide drives for what now 5 years or so07:43

truepurpleTransx3, how are you planing to boot from a HDD cmos doesn't see?07:46
MahaVishnuit should still boot that hd!07:46
Transx3It does on ide channel 2 master, doesn't it?07:46
MahaVishnuomg. how do you not see it.07:46
Northwoodsi did double click the exe ,  http://pastebin.com/s5yjfG5b , i get this error message07:46
truepurpleoops, I see, still, looks kind of funny07:46
NorthwoodsMahaVishnu, ^07:46
truepurpleSorry, I expected it to be in the same box07:47
MahaVishnuNorthwoods, in terminal. sudo chmod +x /home/northwoods/Downloads/Dreamweaver.exe07:47
MahaVishnuTransx3, get rid of the dvd drive. put the HD on the cable where the dvd drive was. and edit the bios if needed.07:48
maumI see whenever I reboot PC. how can I fix this? http://ompldr.org/vYm1oMQ07:48
truepurpleTransx3, that board has to be 32bit only, but are you trying to use a 64 bit OS? Or otherwise, could the the OS you are trying to use be too new for the board? Or too old? What was this HDD on before that it worked?07:48
Transx3http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/440/20111207014817129.jpg/ this is my hdd, it has a different cable than the cd, which is a ribbon.07:50
Transx3It worked with lubuntu before.07:50
kishanjoin #drupal-support07:50
truepurpleTransx3, is this a move from one PC to another? Or did your PC suddenly stop working?07:50
MahaVishnuTransx3, it has SATA!!!07:51
Transx3Is that bad? Lol i know sata is newer07:51
MahaVishnuisnt that sata on that HD ?07:51
MahaVishnuthe pic is a little hard to tell07:51
MahaVishnuerr drive.07:51
Transx3I thick red cable that's kinda small07:52
truepurpleMahaVishnu, no07:52
Transx3*a07:52
MahaVishnuyea. is that not sata?07:52
pnormanYa, that's SATA07:52
truepurplethats a sata cable07:52
MahaVishnu-_- then why are you using an ide hd07:52
truepurplebut based on that post screen, I see no evidence of sata, I do see IDE in several different ways07:52
Transx3So why does it say it's ide? Lol07:53
MahaVishnucause07:53
MahaVishnudo you have an AHCI mode in your bios setting?07:53
pnormanI speak as someone who just dug through a box of 30 sata cables07:53
MahaVishnuis it set to IDE instead of AHCI07:53
truepurpleah07:53
MahaVishnuI thought you had a damn ide only system the whole time. you sneaky bugger.07:53
Transx3In advanced chipset features is says sata speed spectrum07:54
pnormanTransx3: My guess is that the drive is set to appear as IDE in the BIOS. Many motherboards have that for compatability07:54
Transx3What would ahci be under?07:54
MahaVishnuTransx3, idk on your bios exactly. hunt around07:54
truepurpleTransx3,  Really though, sata is not really dramatically superior or anything. It allows for slightly faster speeds, bigger HDD I think, but for computer builders, the cables are alot easier to deal with, and losing master/slave is so wonderful.07:54
Transx3How would it work before then? Loo07:54
MahaVishnumine is a setting from SATA to AHCI mode since I dont have ide at all.07:55
MahaVishnuyou might have a setting from IDE to SATA or IDE AHCI who knows07:55
MahaVishnuide+sata mobos are strange beasts.07:55
truepurpleI got one07:55
MahaVishnuthey work fine mostly. but can run in to weird issues ( like the one ur having trans )07:56
pnormanSATA is superior to IDE in so many ways.07:56
MahaVishnuobviously ;-P07:56
truepurpleWell I don't know that07:56
MahaVishnuits much faster than ide. and can support alot more devices without jumpers.07:57
Transx3In the ide function setup it has onchip ide channel0, ide dma transfer access, serialata controller and ide pre fetch mode. All of which are enabled07:57
MahaVishnuespecially now with sata @ 6gbs or whatever/07:57
truepurpleYeah, which only matters if you have a SSD07:57
pnormanMahaVishnu: SATA III only matters for port multipliers07:57
MahaVishnuidk what a port multiplier is lol ;-P07:57
truepurpleNot sure what a port multiplier is myself, but I stick by what i said about SSD07:58
MahaVishnuI got an SSD but it's SATA 2.0 still lightning fast though an intel x25-mainstream.07:58
pnormanMahaVishnu: You can connect multiple drives to one port with a port multiplier07:58
truepurplepnorman, a waste of sata 6gb:p07:58
Transx3Truepurple, In the ide function setup it has onchip ide channel0, ide dma transfer access, serialata controller and ide pre fetch mode. All of which are enabled that ahci nowhere to be found07:58
MahaVishnupnorman, ic07:59
pnormantruepurple: I get more than 3 Gbps off of my array and they're not 15k ones07:59
truepurpleMy motherboard came with way more sata ports then I could ever use, the idea of trying to crowd a bunch onto one seems hilarious07:59
MahaVishnuTransx3, idk what ide pre fetch mode means.07:59
pnormantruepurple: I have 8 drives.07:59
Transx3Neither do i. Lol07:59
truepurplepnorman, you are abnormalman.07:59
MahaVishnutruepurple, I agree07:59
MahaVishnuabout the ports comment that is.08:00
employeehi08:00
MahaVishnumy SSD reads 190.88 MB/sec while im using it as my boot drive. im happy with that.08:00

MahaVishnuemployee, samba ?08:01
employeeon ubuntu08:01
Transx3?08:01
employeeIRC-hybrid possible08:01
pnormanAnd I don't see SATA III making a real difference for SSDs yet. In some theoretical situations it can, but I don't see SATA II bottlenecking a single SSD08:01
employeejust an IRC server with chat rooms08:02
MahaVishnuI have no idea what your question is.08:02
pnormanemployee: samba and IRC are unrelated.08:02
employeeno08:02
employeeno samba08:02
pnormanWhat do you mean by smb then?08:02
truepurpleTransx3, MahaVishnu I forget, but doesn't IDE master slave settings not only care about master/slave part a, part b, of the cable, but whether it is the first IDE port, or the second?08:02
employeesomebody08:02
MahaVishnuemployee, im sure if you google linux irc server you can find how to set one up.08:02
employeeI've tried that08:03
MahaVishnuthis channel is for ubuntu support. not irc server support.08:03
pnormanemployee: which ircd did you want to use?08:03
employeebut it doesn't work prorerly08:03
employeeok08:03
Transx3Well, my hdd doesn't have a hookup for that wide ribbon cable..08:03
employeeI've a question then08:03
MahaVishnuTransx3, cause it's sata.08:03
MahaVishnuribbon = ide08:03
employeeWhy I can't find irc on empathy on ubuntu 10.0408:04
truepurpleTransx3, if it uses a fatter smaller cable for its connection, it is sata but that does not fit with your post screen.08:04
employeeisn't it installed by default?08:04
korben[employee]: because it's on pidgin not empathy08:04
Transx3So why are there no sata settings in my bios then?08:04
truepurpleTransx3, if your cmos is set to IDE, but your trying to use a sata HDD, that could possibly cause trouble08:04
employeebut on some comps we have irc by default08:04
Transx3I don't see sata in my bios anywhere08:05
truepurpleTransx3, there has to be, did you check the manual/have one?08:05
korben[employee]: on empathy i believe it's an add-on08:05
Transx3Nope, no manual. Lol08:05
employeecan u help me to install that?08:05
truepurpleTransx3, do you see a setting that is set to "IDE"?08:05

Transx3Truepurple, mahavishnu, i went to standard cmos features and the hdd was listed next to ide channel 2 master, i went to that and changed the extended ide drive setting from auto to none, now when i boot after the usual stuff it says nvidia boot agent then media test failure, check cable, then it does or again and says disk boot failure08:13
Transx3The cable is done, i checked it08:13
MahaVishnuTransx3, is the hd set as first boot device in bios ?08:13
onrei like the "bash shell" a lot, i thinkg it's rather fascinating game08:13

korbeninstall irc server locally?!08:14
truepurpleMahaVishnu, "lsb_release -a is it codename natty, then change maverick to natty" what are you referring to with this? Please help, I am looking through IRC history and do not see where you cleared up what your saying with this08:14
truepurpleTransx3, there should be a option to set something from IDE, to several different types, of which were mentioned earlier in the chat08:15
truepurpleTransx3, do you know the model of your Mother Board?08:15
MahaVishnutruepurple, in your /etc/apt/sources.list THOSE 2 LINES that said partner and maverick. the lsb_release -a is for you to do in a terminal and find your codename and replace maverick in that file with the codename of your system if it is not maverick.08:16
MahaVishnutruepurple, once those 2 lines are uncomment, your correct codename is inserted. you can save the file and we can proceed.08:16
bhrandonhowdy08:17

keithzg_900truepurple: you'd better be running "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list", otherwise yeah it'll do exactly what it's doing and not let you save.08:40
pnormanmohammadtiti: are you installing off of a USB drive or a CD/DVD? Also, did you md5sum the image you downloaded?08:40

mohammadtitiwhen I want to install it, this message appears08:40
WanderingEndermohammadtiti, instead of bothering with a bunch of !commands at you, I'll give you the run down: If nobody's responded, nobody awake knows.08:40
mohammadtitiWanderingEnder, you mean nobody knows the answer here?08:40
truepurplekeithzg, oopsy, that was my mistake08:41
truepurpleMahaVishnu, use  "lsb_release -a" in a terminal after saving those changes of uncommented lines?08:41
keithzg_900heh yeah it's an easy one to make before you get in the habit.08:41
MahaVishnutruepurple, does the rest of your sources file say maverick ? or natty08:41
WanderingEndermohammadtiti, the person who knows may not be awake / active in the channel. Or, they may not be looking at the window.08:41
WanderingEndermohammadtiti, Didn't you state that 11.10 worked?08:42
mohammadtitioops...08:42
mohammadtitiHow can i awake him/her? LOL08:42
excelsiormohammadtiti: Just be patient and persistent, and eventually someone who knows will tell you. By persistent, I mean wait until at least a few screen passes to repost your question, if necessary. Else try to answer to the responses you are lucky to get.08:42
* keithzg_900 remains sad he's able to solve other folks' problems, but is no closer to isnstalling 64bit flash with multiarch disabled. Ah well, a few months without flash won't be too bad.08:42
truepurpleMahaVishnu, you mean "/etc/apt/sources.list"? I don't see natty written anywhere in here08:43
mohammadtitino WanderingEnder i didn't check that08:43
theadminkeithzg_900: wtf? Flash is native 64-bit... Did Ubuntu not change to that yet?08:43
mohammadtitithanks excelsior08:43
mohammadtitiBut I'm downloading it, the X64 DVD version08:43
WanderingEndermohammadtiti, Why use an older version?08:43
WanderingEnderAlso, once you DL your ISO, run a MD5 check on it to verify that its actually the same ISO without corruption.08:44
gstreamer213mohammadtiti, try plugging your cd driver or Harddisk in a different port...? <random idea08:44
dr_willisi think the flash instaler instals 32 bit.08:44
mohammadtitibecause the newest version I have is that version.08:44
keithzg_900theadmin: Oneiric has multiarch enabled by default, and has the amd64 package for flashplugin-installer depend on flashplugin-downloader:i38608:44
mohammadtitino gstreamer213. good idea. I'm on it08:44
WanderingEnderGrab 11.10, it may fix your issue, mohammadtiti.08:44
theadminkeithzg_900: Awkward decision...08:44
dr_willisnot reallyneeded to bother with 64 bit flash.08:44
WanderingEnderI know that a 10 year old 1U server I have doesn't like 11.10, I fed it 10.04 and it liked it.08:45
keithzg_900so, Flash is 64bit, but you can't install it without 32bit libs.08:45
keithzg_900And with multiarch disabled, that becomes a problem...08:45
Jordan_Umohammadtiti: That error generally means that for whatever reason Ubuntu's kernel isn't able to access your CD Drive to read the files it needs. This can be worked around by using the netinstall CD (because then everything that needs to be loaded is loaded from the bootloader into memory using your firmware's drivers rather than linux's).08:46
dr_willisand you disable that multiarch why?08:46
mohammadtitiAhhha thanks WanderingEnder08:46

ubottumohammadtiti: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD08:46
excelsiorHey, if we're talking about minimalist stuff, I should brag that Lubuntu has really impressed me with its small footprint and ability to multitask on machines with as little as 256 MB RAM.08:48
lotheacis there a preseed option for the "download language support" question in the alt-installer?08:48
WanderingEndermohammadtiti, I use the minimal on my older servers, it deals with all sorts of screwups of hardware.08:48
keithzg_900dr_willis: I disabled multiarch because it breaks aptitude, and with all the GUI package managers broken for me in Oneiric, I need aptitude!08:48

trukoshHi, i have 2 lvm-Volumes with data on it. They re not mounted via fstab, but by corosync software when needed. Before i can mount them i have to send "vgchange -ay" to activate the volumegroup by hand. Anyone knows why? Thought udev would activate vg while booting. Or does this just work, when they re mounted automatically via fstab / when needed in boot-Process?08:50
gstreamer213mohammadtiti, Lol kudos08:50
mohammadtitiit loaded the kernel.08:50
keithzg_900dr_willis: probably, but nothing other than Synaptic and Apper are broken, so itm's actually been the smoothest Ubuntu upgrade n this particular machine yet, haha08:51

trukosh lotheac Great tip!! Thank you very much!08:53
mohammadtitiWanderingEnder hell yeah. 100000000% agree08:53
lotheactrukosh: no problem :)08:53
keithzgdr_willis: it's worth reiterating, nothing's broken except for the GUI package managers, and it remains ridiculous for an amd64 package to depend on an i386 package.08:53
WanderingEndergstreamer213, I wouldn't trust it to charge anything, either. It may short.08:54
mohammadtitianother question: is there anyone that is working with Ubuntu 11.10?08:54
gstreamer213Good point08:54
pnormanmohammadtiti: Lots of people here use 11.10. I use 11.10 server on my server08:55

maumgstreamer213, yes nvidia gtx580 driver09:00

mohammadtitiaha. thanks pnorman09:01
maumgstreamer213, there is nvidia utility for setting display09:01

gstreamer213maum, change the resolution to 1920x108009:03
maumgstreamer213, now it was set Auto09:03
truepurplejrib, I found it, but I have been having trouble with flash, and I am following instructions I received that I was hoping would fix it, I don't want to install from the software center because I don't know what that does to the instructions09:04
jribtruepurple: what instructions?  And what trouble?09:04
keithzgSo strange. Why would Synaptic cause Xorg to use up an entire core's worth of CPU cycles?09:04
gstreamer213maum, change it and reboot09:05
maumgstreamer213, ok but when I changed it, the system is working slow09:06
maumgstreamer213, i don't know why and it automatically changed as Auto09:06
gstreamer213maum, oh.. do you know what resolution it is now?09:06
maumgstreamer213, now it is Auto.09:07

maumgstreamer213, but if I try to change it , the system will be slow.09:07

WanderingEndermaster, have you visited Teamviewer's website? If there's a .deb file, run that.09:09
masterya do09:09
masterthree time09:09
masterits show error09:10
WanderingEndermaster, what is the exact error?09:10
keithzgtruepurple: all those instructions are telling you to do is remove flash, enable the partner repo, and then install the "adobe-flashplugin" package, which is the Adobe Flash entry in the Software Center.09:10
keithzgAs long as you remove the packages, add the partner repos, and then (after updating your package lists) install flash again, shouldn't matter what order you do it.09:11
dudeamiI have a questions related to lm-sensors. Right now I have the mobo reporting 69C (it8721-isa-0290) as the CPU temp, but the processor itself (k10temp-pci-00c3) reporting 52C... Which should I listen too?09:11
keithzgErr, by order I mean by which method (sorry, tired)09:11
masterbig problem is that my software center hang09:11
truepurplekeithzg, how is that different from just removing flash then installing adobe flash directly?09:11
masterand after09:12
pnorman__and there goes my server under heavy IO again :(09:12
WanderingEnderAlso, silly question. Did anyone here watch (and like ) Eureka's Christmas Special?09:12
keithzgtruepurple: err, probably not any different, but what do you mean by "directly"?09:12
masterminute its support09:12
ct529pnorman__: yes, same here09:12
WanderingEnderRight, wrong channel, ignore that. ;) Thought this was #Reddit09:13
masterOpen with Ubuntu Software Center (default)09:13
pnorman__ct529: it's a problem specific to my sata card it seems. SiI 3124 chipset, second one (first was RMA'ed for a dead port)09:13
masterWhen Software Center opens, click ‘Install’09:13
masterbut software not support09:13
truepurplekeithzg, I mean going to the adobe flash site and using their download to install09:16
WanderingEndertruepurple, why go out of Ubuntu's package manager to install?09:18
keithzgtruepurple: do they provide a .deb file? Otherwise, it's no different at the moment, but differs in that the system will keep track of the package and install newer versions if/when they become available in the repositories.09:18
keithzgtruepurple: plus, then it's far easier to install and uninstall. Always less messy to have the package manager keep track of things.09:18
truepurpleWanderingEnder, because flash isn't updating its graphics right, and I want a install that does09:18
truepurplekeithzg, the download adds a link to software center to install, I don't know if it adds a .deb file or not09:19

kamilnadeemI am having some issues with running multiple apps as the ram consumption is been very high in Kubuntu 11.10 , is there a way to tackle it . I have 2 gb ram +2b swap but the system feels sluggish at some time . like right now I am running Firefox 8, chromium 15, Chokoq, Quasssel an 0.9 gb of ram is being used ?09:20
keithzgtruepurple: I just checked, yeah, all it does in theory is add the partner repo to the repository lists, so it's no different than adding the lines to /etc/apt/sources.list yourself.09:21
truepurplekeithzg, does that mean it updates?09:22
keithzgtruepurple: Yeah, as long as Adobe deigns to push the newer versions into the repository.09:22

sgo11deej1976, no worries. thanks a lot for your reply. I am just confused. in gnome-look.org, most gnome-shell themes say they support gnome-shell 3.2. Currently, I think I am using ubuntu's ambiance theme. it works fine. not sure what are the difference. :)10:31

ledzgioand it happen with 3.0.14, 3.1 and 3.2-rc4 kernels11:08
trapniraven_: too many different ways for too many different types of errors. basically, you're always fine with a nvidia card and its binary driver. I dunno about your setup, but that's what I'd recommend; OTOH, just don't use the OpenGL-mode, or make it software-rasterizing, or ... you know :)11:10

joep_Hi, I have a question regarding Xubuntu (version Oneiric) that I put on an USB-stick for starting a system.11:27
shomon!ask11:28
ubottuPlease 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 !patience11:28
joep_It start a system but doesn't go any farterh than checking the battery state which for a desktop system is pretty useless. Has anybody an idea how to resolve this?11:28
theadminjoep_: How did you create the USB stick? Likely the wrong way...11:29
is_nullhi all, anybody managed to get thunderbird to be stable ? what email client do you use ?11:29
shomonI'm not a laptop technician, but maybe if you try with another USB stick, and then try without the batter, just plugged into the mains11:29
theadminis_null: Try mutt :D11:29
shomonis_null, yes I use thunderbird11:29
joep_theadmin, thanks for your quick reply.11:29
theadminis_null: I myself use the GMail's web-ui11:30
shomonsylpheed is more to my liking11:30

joep_I did it using the ubuntu utility for that from UBUNTU 10.0411:30
truepurpleCan anyone help me recover a session?11:30
shomonis_null, I use only a translation plug-in, and turn off scripts. is that what you mean?11:30
theadminjoep_: Oh, that won't work if it's an older version, um... Newer images (starting with Oneric) no longer work with that I beleive.11:30
theadminjoep_: But, you can dd them.11:30
ciunixhi all I'd like to install some gems in my ubuntu desktop. I did "gem install slim" and it was ok, after when I try to use it eg. require "slim" I get an error11:31

is_nullactually i'm suprised because it can hang anytime ...11:31
shomonI use ad-block, a spanish dictionary for spellchecking, and quick translator...11:31
joep_theadmin, SH..! what useless change did they make to annoy users any more (I use xubuntu because of Unity!).11:31
shomonis_null, yes it does that with my huge gmail account sometimes :)11:32
shomonespecially with a fancy theme11:32
is_nullright, i have 3 hudge gmail accounts :(11:32
theadminjoep_: The images are now hybrid images so you can FINALLY create USB sticks without stupid tools like unetbootin or usb-creator, just by writing them to the drive directly. How is that bad?11:32

joep_theadmin, You understood me wrong. I have used different Unixes (Suse, RedHat, etc) but Ubuntu up to 10.04 suits me perfect. Only Unity is not my cup-of-tea and Xubuntu us iagin very much OK.11:40

almoxarifeAnomie21: should see the buddy list12:16
Sidewinder1ichbinder, Not sure but perhaps you need to reboot to get it "in use?"12:16
Anomie21almoxarife: Nope, that just brings up 'Pidgin Internet Messenger' in the top panel and lets me select options (like new instant message, etc)12:16

pqatsiIve noticed apt-pinning dont work verywell for new ubuntu versions, and the best approach is use apt-get install package/precise - as example. But i see it dont updates these packages automatically. So, what is the best way to install ONLY one package and their dependences from another version and keep it upgraded?12:56
JayAgelucid wasn't doing it, btw.12:56
pangolinpqatsi: mixing versions is not recommended or supported12:56
pqatsipangolin: i know both and i know what im doing12:57
pangolinpqatsi: in that case you don't need our help12:57
pqatsipangolin: i just cant find a way to do this rightly since apt-pinning dont work anymmore12:57
private_metahttp://pastebin.com/8rxbMd2n <-- any idea how to fix that?12:58

private_metaoh12:58
private_metano space left on drive12:58
private_metanow i see12:58
bastidrazorpqatsi: if you use update-manager then its possible apt-pinning will not work since you're not using apt.12:58
pqatsibastidrazor: so i cant understand, because i increase the priority in preferences.d and even this way apt-cache policy give me a 100 to precise and 999 to oineric12:59

Sidewinder1Girffe, The only thing I can think of is to boot to the win emergency repair disk and type/click " Fix MBR".13:12
jribvixus: yes, choose that option at the login screen (are you sure you are using gdm? lightdm is default now)13:12
ichbinderand the output of glxgears is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/762678/13:12
ichbinder:(13:12
auronandaceGirffe: of course it would, you deleted the ubuntu partition13:13
vixusjrib: Using ubuntu 10.04, I think it's still GDM...13:13
GirffeYeah, I was wondering about the win7 disk, guess I'll try that13:13
Girffeauronandace: Yeah, but I'm booting off the ubuntu USB right now, so it could be in the usb itself13:14
Girffeguess not, though13:14
vixusjrib: The option doesn't seem to be available, and I can't add files to /usr/share/xsessions.13:14
jribvixus: yes.  At one point the option was missing, so you should search bugs.ubuntu.com for the bug (it exists but is now marked as "fix released" since it has been fixed in later versions).  In the comments you will see workarounds13:14
jribvixus: why can't you add files to /usr/share/xsessions/?13:14
vixusjrib: this is a work computer and I only have sudo access to certain things (aptitude, synaptic, etc.)13:15
jribvixus: so tell the administrator13:15
jribvixus: (pointing him to the bug is probably the easiest thing to do)13:15
vixusjrib: ok, let me locate a thread that shows workarounds13:15
auronandaceGirffe: if you are trying to get grub work you will need a partition for grub to be on (that would have been your ubuntu partition)13:15
vixusjrib: it's hard to get anything done that isn't urgent maintenance. all i want is to run a different WM. I thought it was possible with my own .xsession file13:16
Girffeauronandace: So there shouldn't be any way for me to make my computer boot from windows via the ubuntu disk?13:16
jribvixus: sure, but to use it through gdm the option needs to exist :)13:16

auronandaceGirffe: its either that or install a different bootloader13:18
vixusjrib: ok, let me try that13:18
Girffeauronandace: yeah, but if grub is on a partition wouldn't that mean you aren't using a boot disk?13:18
Girffeauronandace: also, what do you mean by a different bootloader? I thought the BIOS handled it by default, at least, I never manually installed a bootloader13:19
jribvixus: here's the bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/gdm/+bug/398300  I *vaguely* remember the bug getting fixed in an update to gdm *in* 10.04 (like in the -updates repository) so check that your gdm package is at its latest version (and that the -updates repository is enabled)13:19

janolap1Hi, I have a ubuntu serveur 8.04 LTS (which I has duplicated to make tests) with ubuntu-desktop. I did a "apt-get update" followed by "apt-get upgrade". When I reboot, the desktop stays with the background color only (no icons, no menu, no effects on left click, no effetcs on right click).13:36
soreaububu: According to the gzip man page, -N should do it: When decompressing, restore the original file name and time stamp if  present.13:36

Timmy_LDon't wanna spam, but seeing as so many has left and joined (and I don't know if y'all usually read the backlog).. Anyone here know how to use wpasupplicant to access a WPA2 protected wireless network from CLI? I'm trying to do this on a HP Mini 210-2200eo, Broadcom 4727 (with bcmwl-kernel-source installed)15:30
muhammedhow clamav can be used to clean virus???15:31
theadminTimmy_L: Easiest suggestion: install netcfg and use that, otherwise, well, you need to learn wpa_supplicant15:31
dr_willismuhammed:  use the clamav front end - and scan files same as you would in windows.15:31
compdocmuhammed, you want to scan your hard drive, or your emails?15:31
Timmy_LThanks for the suggestion theadmin, I will look into it.15:32
muhammedcompdoc:both15:32
Stanley00muhammed: clamav cant deinfect, it just can delete the infected file.15:32
muhammeddr_willis: i've installed clamav but it cannot be seen anywhere??15:33
dr_willismuhammed:  Unless you install a gui front end for it.. its a command line tool15:33
theadminTimmy_L: Note that netcfg is not currently in Ubuntu's repos, you'll have to check out from git... It's an Arch thing, so: http://projects.archlinux.org/netcfg.git15:33
theadminTimmy_L: Should work with other Linuxes just fine tho15:33
Man_of_Waxhi, I've updated my ubuntu server to 11.10 and now samba doesn't work anymore. The config file is the same but the others PCs on lans don't see the server.15:34
Timmy_LHaha, yeah, I found out via apt-cahce.. ^-^ Will give it a go though...15:34
muhammedstanley00:is there any tool that disinfect affected file??15:34
llutz_muhammed: rm15:34
Stanley00muhammed: they are just for window, AFAIK15:35
dr_willisi wouldent trust disinfected files :)15:35
theadminTimmy_L: Look at the clone urls, clone one of those and install it, shouldn't be too different15:35
dr_willismuhammed:  you are scanning windows files for windows viruses?15:35

muhammeddr_willis: which is gui for clamav???15:35
bil21aldholbach:15:36
llutz_rm or mkfs are the best ways to get rid of infected files. you cannot trust any infected system and you cannot trust any snakeoil-app aka antivirus-prog15:36
dr_willismuhammed:  search for clamav in the package manager. it will show some15:36
muhammeddr_willis:virus affected all my php as well as html files only15:36

Jordan_Ugladosv2: Simply "aptitude install wine"? Do you have any 3rd party repos? It sounds like you don't have the needed 32 bit libraries, but that shouldn't happen if you install wine from the default repositories.16:10

TransX2Which nvidia accelerated graphics driver should i use? It lists a bunch.16:11
Jordan_Ugladosv2: If not, then it might be a simple case of bash doing a hash lookup for wine rather than actually checking for the file if you tried to run it once in the shell you're currently using before it was actually installed. If that's the case then starting a new shell should solve the problem.16:12

clvxwhere should I look for more info, I've read  the official  messaging menu document, but don't find a solution for this.16:17
dr_willisclvx:  its possible thers some 'turpial --someoptionhere' to  activate the allready running instance. check the progams docs or turpial --help   output perhaps.16:17

tekkentuxIs this critical? Might I loose data when removing hard disks?16:48

tekkentuxmrpink57: I'm just wondering if this is normal, if it could cause data loss and how I could make it recognise the harddisk faster. Is the a general problem with hotswap or the drivers for the intel 3400 chipset?16:53

litiproblems with irssi themes ...17:04
Jordan_UTransX2: Do you have a particularly old graphics card (specifically one without much Video Memory)? You might solve your problem by switching from unity 3D to unity 2D (so that your window manager does not depend on your graphics card / driver's 3D capabilities).17:05
gladosv2how to escape filenames for an argument when in find?17:05
gladosv2I have filenames with spaces in them, and need to use the filename plus another extension as an argument for the output17:06
nkdoodwalubottu:  ?17:06
TransX2Yeah,  it's older17:06
Jordan_Ugladosv2: You don't need to escape anything, find will pass arguments directly to the command in question without word splitting.17:06

Joniihey, is it possible to disable my webcam?17:09
Joniiit constantly uses like 2W of power even though its not even active17:10
theadminJonii: udev rules probably.17:10
nkdoodwalhey could anybody solve my problem with speakers17:10
Jordan_Ugladosv2: That will work, and note that the quotes around '{}.xml' are *not* needed, and will be removed by the shell before the argument is passed on to find. If you haven't already, you should look into and try to understand how the shell works and specifically that it is the shell, and not any command itself, which does subsititution of variables beginning with '$', word splitting, and similar.17:10
Joniitheadmin: how exactly?17:10
gladosv2Jordan_U: the problem is, the application gives an error...17:11
gladosv2well I'll table it for now, not really urgent17:11
Joniiit seems to be an usb device17:11
gladosv2another question: what is a good package to play around with web requests? need to implement an api and need to create requests, also post-requests, see headers, etc?17:11
escottgladosv2, with the find exec its a fork exec instead of a shell exec. try taking the quotes out17:11
NeosanoI need libcupsys2 package, but there's no such package in 11.10, how can I solve it?17:12
theadminJonii: I can't give details without knowing a LOT more than just a webcam... The manufacturer, the model, etc, but just try to figure it out yourself, it's not  that hard, Just search for "udev rules" on the web with your Favourite search enGIne :P17:12
gladosv2escott: also errors without quotes17:12
TransX2Would gnome-shell use less gpu memory than unity on 11.10?17:12
Jordan_Ugladosv2: One way to debug find commands is to prefix the command with "echo" to see roughly what is being run (becaue of aforementioned word splitting being done by the shell it can be confusing). So try running this and examine the output: find ./ -iname '*.dtl' -exec echo rtf2xml {} --indent=1 -o='{}.xml' \;17:12
theadminTransX2: Unlikely. Try XFCE.17:12
TransX2Is xfce like what's on lubuntu?17:13
Jordan_UTransX2: Or, as I suggested before, you can switch to Unity 2D.17:13
gladosv2problem is with the spaces in filenames, that's why I tried the quoes...17:13

gladosv2Jordan_U: apparently it doesn't because when I try the eco and then execute the output command, it's with spaces17:15

=== rymate1234|away is now known as rymate1234

llutz_"; done *17:17
Jordan_Ullutz_: No, that will cause word splitting problems that didn't exist before. That is exactly the wrong thing to do.17:17
llutz_Jordan_U: if you quote it properly, nothing will be splitted17:18
Jordan_Ugladosv2: Try asking in #bash, they tend to be good at explaining these types of things and know all the best practices to be sure you don't run into issues.17:18
gladosv2will try, thanks :)17:18
Joniitheadmin: it does not seem udev is the right tool, theres nothing about disabling or removing devices on the internet17:18
gladosv2llutz_: I'm afraid yours didn't work as well, gave exactly the same error17:18
Jordan_Ullutz_: You did not quote things correctly, and I'm not sure how you would modify your command to be correct. I don't think it can sanely be done.17:19
theadminJonii: oh, on the internet, um, probably you'd need to check Flash's settings and such17:19
Jordan_Ugladosv2: You're probably missing something simple in the syntax of rtf2xml and spaces in file names is just a red harring.17:20
TransX2It's different, it asks only for my password17:20
llutz_gladosv2: does" rtf2xml  --indent=1 -o=file.xml input.dtl" work, or has input.dtl to be 1st parameter?17:20
Joniitheadmin: i mean, no internet sites tell how to disable a device with udev17:21
Jordan_Ullutz_: Do you understand why the command you gave will not work with files that have spaces in them?17:21
theadminJonii: Oh, well, there should be a way, udev is pretty much everything that deals with devices (well, there used to be HAL too but that's no longer in use)17:22
TransX2Found it, thanks17:22
gladosv2gosh, the file to read had to be the last... can't believe I actually made that mistkake, sorry guys!17:22

Jordan_Ullutz_: By the time you're quoting "$file" it's too late, the word splitting has already happened (in your command).17:23

JerryNJcan anyone assist me in updating the rdesktop on the client-side of ltsp on ubuntu 10.418:10
escotthansg01, if all you did was change a partition table you can sometimes restore the old partition by either using fdisk and putting the old partition table back, or using testdisk to find and restore the old table. if you actually formatted then you have overwritten the filesystem with a new filesystem, and you would want to use something like photorec to search for files that can be recovered from the raw contents18:10

bj_pennoCean, the whole underlying reason for all this is because i want to figure out why centos 5.2 won't mount on this ubuntu share18:34
sskalniki2c, There might be a slight difference between the sources.list; compare side by side and see if one has extra repos18:34
oCeanbj_penn: Hmm... It might be in the output of nfsstat (just run that as a command, it will show statistics for either the v2 or v3 protocol)18:34

edoceoSo, I'm on Jaunty and using the old-releases site to get it updated.  Would I just update my apt.sources to point Karmic, then dist-upgrade, then update to point to Lucid and dist-upgrade?19:25

ubottuUbuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) was the tenth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 23, 2010. See !eol and !upgrade for more details.19:25
EvilResistanceyep19:25
edoceoEvilResistance: ype19:25
edoceoI've already read EOL and those docs, they recommend doing fresh-install - which is not an option for me19:25
Peenish|Galorerm -rf * !!!19:26
Peenish|Galorelulz19:26
edoceoOr they point to using some GUI to do the update - which I don't have on this box19:26
EvilResistanceedoceo:  i think you can do do-dist-upgrade in jaunty, no?19:26
* edoceo checks19:26
EvilResistanceedoceo:  that will initiate the upgrade process, if it exists19:26
* EvilResistance isnt exactly certain when they introduced do-dist-upgrade19:26
GatorAllihello, on Ubuntu, how can I read the output of a python process?19:27
GatorAllior any process for that manner19:27
Exxonedoceo, donload the recent version and install back up the before you do it..that will nice and easy instead wasting time..please check the hcl before you install19:27
tensorpuddingGatorAlli, how are you calling your script19:28
=== arges_lunch is now known as arges
GatorAllitensorpudding: I called my script in SSH with python script.py19:28
GatorAllimember:tensorpudding: but my ssh session closed19:28
tensorpuddingGatorAlli, the stdout of your process will be attached to the shell that called it19:28
GatorAlliHow can I reattach it when the SSH connection is interupted?19:29
tensorpuddingGatorAlli, you can't really reattach it19:29
GatorAlliSo I cannot see the output?19:29
edoceoWhat package has the dist-upgrade tool?  Is that update-manager ?19:29
bsmith093im trying to do sudo gems install, and it says gem, command not found, i thought ive installed every ruby package there is, im on lucid please help19:29
edoceoExxon: have backup, system is compatible with HCL19:29
tensorpuddingit's a fundamental flaw in the design, that once you detach file descriptors from whatever they were attached to, you can't re-attach them elsewhere19:30
Exxonedoceo, green light :)19:30
GatorAlliI used ps aux, and I can see that the script is still running19:30
GatorAlliSo I cannot get the output anymore19:30
GatorAlli:/19:30
tensorpuddingthis is my understanding of the matter, i have never seen anything that purports to do otherwise19:30
GatorAllihmm I'll ask around in Python19:31
tensorpuddingit's not a python issue at all19:31
tensorpuddingthis is true for any process19:31
tensorpuddingyou have a few ways to mitigate it19:31
tensorpuddingyou can either redirect all your output to a file19:31
tensorpuddingin which case you can disown the process and still collect the output when the process completes19:32
tensorpuddingthis is accomplished using the shell redirection operators, which are documented in the manual19:32
Exxontensorpudding, please elobrate and make it in a line19:32
theadminMeh, I gotta go19:32
tensorpuddingthe other, simpler alternative, since what you want is just a shell that is persistent against the whimsy of your SSH connection, is to use GNU screen or BSD's tmux19:33
tensorpuddingExxon, if i collated all this into one line it'd take me ten minutes and would be cut off...19:33
tensorpuddingi find that when i try to collapse it all into a wall of text that 1) people balk at reading it all 2) it gets cut off 3) murphy's law: it takes so long the person who is listening leaves19:34
Exxontensorpudding, that would really be nice ...and repeat if some familair will answer19:34
tensorpuddingGatorAlli, are you still there?19:35
GatorAlliyep19:35
jvhvI have an issue with sound playback in kubuntu. On login a login-sound is played, but after that most sound does not work. How can I find the cause?19:36
tensorpuddingGatorAlli, what i suggest is to download screen, it's a program that allows you connect multiple running shell processes to one program which can be detached gracefully from the terminal that spawned it, and reattached gracefully later19:36
GatorAllilooking at it right now19:36
tensorpuddingthe workflow would be, that you would run your long-running python script in screen, then if your SSH connection times out, you just reconnect, then run screen -R, to reattach your screen session, which is still connected to your python script19:37

webskipperriffautaeu: Dont want that the terminal handles my keys. In older version of ubuntu it worked.20:31
ExxonGaRRu, if you are using wep used the cli20:31
MahaVishnudiatomaceous, that didnt help you open pavucontrol did it ?20:31
diatomaceousMahaVishnu: no, I just tried again - same error20:31

matteobassi1hello20:32
riffautaewebskipper: have you looked in preferences of either software to see if you can remap?20:32
MahaVishnudiatomaceous, I hate to say it but maybe a reboot? then try to open pavucontrol again. the internet says use pulseaudio --kill but that doesn't work .....20:33
MahaVishnuI tried sudo also.20:33
diatomaceousMahaVishnu: Ok, I'll reboot and try again tomorrow - for now it's "actually working" with that alsamixer terminal app, so I can putz along20:33
webskippertrism: yeah, why is no patch / update available? since Feb 2011 it is known...20:33
oCeanwebskipper: it's bug, it's in progress. There is nothing WE can do about that.20:34
ExxonGaRRu, what about wpa,20:34
matteobassi1Hello, I'm trying to import videos from my videocamera via firewire connection. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04, tried PiTiVi and OpenShot Video Editor but with no luck. Any suggestions? Thanks20:35
MahaVishnudiatomaceous, sounds good.20:35
webskipperoCean: yeah, Feb 2011 bug - why I have to use unity ? Why does mono not work. Why I have to use an old ubuntu version now ? I like ubuntu - but offering 11.10 is really bad.20:35
geoffmccalexxio: are you sure your using the correct lan ip address then, cause that dont make sense20:35
diatomaceousMahaVishnu: Like I said, this is the first time i've had any issues, so I'll chalk it up to a one-time boot thing.20:35
oCeanwebskipper: this is your last warning: don't continue that discussion here20:35
MahaVishnudiatomaceous, ya never know some times why things do what they do.20:36
ExxonGaRRu, wep is flawed you can try wpa..wpa2 is really a very different matter.20:36
diatomaceousMahaVishnu: Yeah, every other time I go to shut down it just freezes at the 'ubuntu' logo instead of actually shutting down.20:36
MahaVishnudiatomaceous, lol my computer doesn't shut down cleanly either.20:37
webskipperoCean: k, what about mono ?20:37
MahaVishnudiatomaceous, try shutting it down with sudo halt next time20:37
diatomaceousMahaVishnu: That's what I normally do.20:37
MahaVishnudiatomaceous, hahahahha!20:37
oCeanwebskipper: earlier you told us these where bugs. There is nothing we can do about those. If you have an actual question, please provide al details, and wait for an answer20:37
MahaVishnuyea ubuntu has alot of issues in 11.10.20:38
diatomaceousMahaVishnu: I can't believe that it seems like ubuntu keeps getting LESS stable as time goes on.20:38

PiciMahaVishnu: This channel is for support only, its already busy enough without people having random discussions here.20:40
riffautaeMahaVishnu: the problem is its a busy channel and chat makes it harder to see support talk20:40
diatomaceouscan you turn off 'entered' and 'left' messages? that'd help substantially20:40
MahaVishnuit wasn't a random discussion. it was related to us figuring out what was wrong with his system setup!!!20:40

MahaVishnuPici, no, like right now if I wanted to kill X lightdm would respawn it.20:43
MahaVishnupstree shows lightdm spawns Xorg20:44
diatomaceousmneptok: nice, that works great.20:44
PiciMahaVishnu: Then stop the lightdm daemon.20:44
MahaVishnuPici, if I stop lightdm my pc prints garbage chars to the screen. and is unuseable20:44
MahaVishnulike if I try to switch tty's it only prints garbage chars to the screen.20:44

diatomaceousCan I throw out one more general question?  My Dell M6600 has an "AMD Firepro M8900" gpu.. technically, it's the same silicon as a radeon mobility 6970m, and there are even guides on how to change the video bios to make it recognized as the radeon.. the question is.. would that benefit me in any way in linux?  I'm currently using the open source drivers, and most things work well, but my battery life is abysmal, probably because I'm not using the propri20:50
ExxonGaRRu, still you want to stick to wpa2..then learn to configure it.20:50
webskipperI think its because dlr-languages is not available for mono on 11.10 - I am not sure...20:50
riffautaediatomaceous: the binary drivers are usually faster and can do better pm20:50
Gentoo64diatomaceous, it maye just be linux for the battery life, what are you comparing it to?20:50
diatomaceousriffautae: right, but there are no proprietary linux drivers for the mobility firepro cards yet20:51
ExxonGentoo64, nice to see you :)20:51
escottdiatomaceous, not likely to be that helpful. people usually go the other way, and convert a radeon into a firepro (for support with things like AutoCAD)20:51
diatomaceousjust some beta ones which don't really work20:51
PiciMahaVishnu: Is this a 64 bit install?20:51
MahaVishnuPici, yea 11.1020:51
MahaVishnuPici, I upgraded from 11.04 if that helps.20:51
webskipperups, sorry: http://paste.ubuntu.com/763132/ its my first pastebin20:51
riffautaediatomaceous: ah dunno then20:52
mneptokdiatomaceous: i have an E350 APU, and the proprietary AMD video drivers render the machine unbootable. and performance is good enough with the Free "radeon" driver that i have not cared enough to look into lkml bug reports.20:52

GaRRuExxon, I have no wrong configures in my router nor the Wicd that is installed in Ubuntu. As I said... I had been connected once with WPA2. Now its just saying Bad Password over and over again. Its not the configuration problem, its a Wicd problem. any solutions for fixing the connection tryouts?20:52
PiciMahaVishnu: Does the Ubuntu logo display at boot time? or is it all garbled too?20:52
diatomaceousmneptok: Yeah, that's basically been my experience as well.  I just can't believe how I get ~5 hours in windows, and less that 1 hour in linux.  It's unforgivably bad.20:52
mneptokdiatomaceous: 4.5h on a 6-cell here. well within acceptable limits.20:53
diatomaceousmneptok: nice, congrats to you for that.  I have 9 cell but the draw is ~74 watts measured by powertop20:53
ExxonGaRRu, i told you wep,wpa can connect wpa2 cannot then its not wicd ..you should manually configure wpa2..so read..learn and configure..thats it.20:54
GaRRuExxon, thanks...20:54

MahaVishnuPici, um it shows up, but this was an xfce install and now in on fluxbox20:54
PiciMahaVishnu: Well, it still sounds like its a framebuffer issue.20:55
MahaVishnuPici, so follow that links advice ? for the sudo apt-get install v86d program ?20:55

spaceneedleDo they have the ASPM fix for ubuntu 10.04? I want to try it out on my dell latitude.20:56

jragonIs there a way to ban certain programs from accessing internet, such as spotify?20:57
diatomaceousmneptok:  It's the same whether I launch unity, unity2d, gnome, or gnome classic20:57
diatomaceousmneptok: I'm 90% sure it's the video card, because the machine dumps heat like a blowdryer.20:58
MahaVishnuPici, should I change this line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset video=uvesafb:mode_option=1280x1024-24,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap"  to match my settings ?20:58
diatomaceousit's one of the fastest mobile GPUs you can buy, and if the open source radeon drivers are trying to use it at 100% all the time, it'd chew through the battery in no time20:58
PiciMahaVishnu: You mean to a different resolution?20:59
MahaVishnuPici, yes sir.20:59
PiciMahaVishnu: Thats fine.20:59
MahaVishnuk.20:59
escottjragon, a number of approaches: LD_PRELOAD on glibc to cause socket open calls to break, but probably better supported is SELinux/AppArmor. The best 100% support is to ban those programs from the system20:59
mneptokdiatomaceous: tried disabling anything GL rendered? no desktop effects and such?20:59

jragonescott: I just want to stop it using the internet so I can gointo offline mode, and my sister can listen to music aswell20:59
escottdiatomaceous, you can look at bumblebee/vgaswitcheroo if you have a builtin graphics card as well21:00
mneptokdiatomaceous: oh, you said Unity 2D. sorry.21:00
diatomaceousescott: don't they only support nvida?21:00
diatomaceousescott: this laptop does have the on-board intel graphics though21:00
escottdiatomaceous, there are projects for both ati and nvidia, one is bumblebee the other is vgaswitcheroo21:01
mneptokdiatomaceous: huh? an AMD APU *and* Intel on-board?21:01
diatomaceousmneptok: AMD firepro and intel i7 built-in GPU21:01
diatomaceousno APU21:01
Exxondiatomaceous, ati drivers support is long forgotten by this time you should know that go with the vesa drivers21:02
diatomaceousExxon: What?21:02
Exxondiatomaceous, amd has stopped the support for the ati drivers21:02
mneptokdiatomaceous: so not an AMD APU then. i could have sworn you said APU, but i'm undercaffienated.21:02

Wiz_KeeDhello guys, if i have a multitude of directories and i want to navigate through them from the cli, but the name is very similar aaabbbcccddd-123 and aaabbccdc-45621:07
Exxonthey can restart the gdm instead the whole system21:07
Wiz_KeeDis there any way i can navigate to them by the chars after the dash21:08
Wiz_KeeDso i don't have to tab complete by adding char by char?21:08
Wiz_KeeDkind of a...smarter way to navigate21:08
escottdiatomaceous, there isn't much that can be done. the manufacturers just shovel whatever the cheapest circuitry they can into the device, and then sign NDAs to get access to the docs so they can write drivers. if you are willing to pay more for a laptop with well supported open hardware you can get good battery performance21:08
Exxon!tab21:08
ubottuYou can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.21:08

diatomaceousalso, is ANYONE getting decent battery life with an AMD gpu?21:09

kimpJust installed 11.10 alongside win 7 and now GRUB can not boot either OS...  Any ideas?21:09
Wiz_KeeDand i still end up reading the whole directory so i know how what's next...21:09
escottdiatomaceous, yes, but your problem is in the interaction between the intel CPU and the AMD chipset. so although we finally have open docs for ATI (and even those have problems), and we have good support from intel, we don't know everything that is going on between the two21:10
ExxonWiz_KeeD, use first three letters and press tab it will auto complete21:10
escottWiz_KeeD, and what are you expecting to be able to do?21:10
Wiz_KeeDi was just thinking if there was a better way or not21:10
MahaVishnuPici, well that made the latest kernel unbootable ( I get to grub but if I select that kernel it just hangs with a _ in the top left and some times gets garbled now )21:11

escottengammalsko, there is no gnome2 on 11.10. that looks like fallback, and it looks normal22:31

engammalskoescott: Okay then I got it wrong I guess. Can i make fallback look like gnome 2?22:31
neersightedi dont want to have to manually change it every update-grub22:32
escottneersighted, since you are using burg I dont know. if you were using grub it would be a change to the line in /etc/default/grub and then run update-grub22:32
neersightedgrub is the seame22:32
neersighted*burg is the same22:32
neersightedits virtually identical22:32
escottengammalsko, not really. gnome3 is not intended to be as configuratble22:32

ChTiPowAHey guys, i need help for transcoding FLAC to AAC with truncating silence feature and normalize volume :)22:32

neersightedie22:33
neersightedUbuntu, Ubuntu recovory, Ubuntu cli, and Windoze22:33
escottneersighted, so look at /etc/grub.d those scripts generate the options. you could add one that inserts text but copies everything else22:33
neersightedthats what im trying to do :p22:33
neersightedit looks like a shell script22:34
neersightedbut i do not know which part tio copy22:34

lifebirdirc chat.. this brings back memories of when I was first learning about *nix22:38
escottneersighted, so copy 10_linux to 11_linux_cli and then modify the line that is follows cat << EOF with linux ${rel_dirname}/${basename} root=${linux_root...} ro ${args} to have "text" after args22:38

Bilangei believe that my routing for a ubuntu box is broken-- i can connect (HTTP/SSH) to that box but no TCP replies is sent back to the client. where/what would I need to check from that point? anything I could try to reset?22:40
demosfarhi...i have 2 problems....first is that my wireless broadcom 43227 don't work on my new lubuntu 11.10...any idea how to solv that?22:40
escottneersighted, actually a better way to do this is to emulate the other calls to "linux_entry" see the lines that say linux_entry ${OS} ${version} true \ single nomodeset ${GRUB_CMDLINE__LINUX}22:40
neersighted?22:41
Benkinoobydemosfar, first try is jockey-gtk22:41
neersightedline 147?22:41
demosfarand 2nd problem is about bluetooth...how can i see if i have bluetooth adapter or not? //i am not that big noob, but i don't have it in windows 7, but when lubuntu is starting, i see 'start bluetooth - ok'...22:41
neersightedcould you give me a version with a third menu enrty?22:42
demosfari already tried with broadcom STA drivers...didn't work22:42
neersightedis that what you mean?22:42
lifebirdBilange: what exactly are you trying to do? run a http server (and ssh server)?22:42
wmossHi all. I'm trying to install ubuntu on my MBA, and following the tutorial on help.ubuntu.com. The problem is that when I try to boot from the USB stick, my screen just shows "Boot Error." Anyone seen that before? Or know how to get it to boot?22:42
Benkinoobydemosfar, the STA driver should do the trick.. did you reboot?22:42
escottneersighted, its in a couple places. linux_entry is a function that makes an entry, so you can just call it but with text ${GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX}22:42
neersightedO_o22:42
neersightedI don't get what you mean22:42
demosfaryes...22:43
demosfarBenkinooby, yes i did22:43
neersightedis there already a function to get a cli?22:43
neersightedi just need to call it?22:43
Bilangelifebird: yeah, apache2 and sshd with pretty much defaults settings, bar some vhosts on the apache2 aprt22:43
Bilangepart*22:43
neersightedescott: Could you help me make it?22:43
* neersighted is so confus22:43
escottneersighted, so line 231,232,233 makes the normal entry22:43
Benkinoobydemosfar, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx22:43
neersighted231?22:44
neersightedThere is no 231?22:44
escottneersighted, so just change that around to say "text" before "quiet" on line 23322:44
neersightedkk22:44
demosfarBenkinooby, I read all that and did everything what's wrote there..but still no help..22:44
escottneersighted, my file may be different from yours22:44
lifebirdBilange: sounds like an issue with 'listen' directive or firewall to me. have you verified that the services are working locally? (ie. on the local host)?22:45
Benkinoobydemosfar, then i'm out of advice... sorry :(22:45
neersightedhttp://pastie.org/298298322:45
neersightedthat's mine22:45
neersightedcan i just add a third menu option?22:45
demosfarBenkinooby, ok...thnx anyway22:46
Bilangelifebird: confirming HTTP is listening and replying over 127.0.0.1, and i can also ssh 127.0.0.1-- to my knowledge (I didnt build the box), this one shouldnt have a firewall built in however22:46
Bilangelifebird: or rather, no "installed" firewall in other words22:47
neersightedoh i have a idea22:47
neersightedescott: let me pastie it quick22:47
lifebirdBilange: I'm guessing this is all going through a LAN, but using a home-based router (eg. D-Link/Linksys)22:49
demosfarhow to check if my laptop has bluetooth adapter?22:49
mosx1hi, will a newly installed ubuntu server respond to ping  from another machine on lan ?22:49
mosx1or should it rather? it isn't currently though i can pick out from the server.22:50
Bilangelifebird: actually no (and this is where its slighty complicated): eth0 on LAN, eth1 on WAN (static IP given by the ISP), LAN has also its IP statically given22:50
lifebirdBilange: ah... so you're using NAT on the same box that's serving http and ssh. /now/ it's getting a little more involved. I'm at a loss at this point, but shooting in the dark, I'd examine your ipnat and ipf config22:52
totesmuhgoatsso if i do apt-get update; apt-get upgrade, it should fetch all the packages that the update notifier tells me about right?22:52
escotttotesmuhgoats, usually. it will notify you if there are some upgrades it cannot do right now22:53
Bilangelifebird: actually, i didnt need NAT on that setup (net.ipv4.ip_forward=0 here), i would only need http and ssh to behave normally on both adapters22:53
totesmuhgoatsescott: ah, i was just wondering because the notifier popped up the other day after i had done it a few minutes before and apt-get showed no updates. I guess the notifier was just working off of old information22:53
lifebirdBilange: I'm drawing a blank at this point then, sorry. :(22:54

neersightedTrying to add a CLI version23:37
JokesOnYou77Hi all.  I'm running a remote server for downloading large files and torrents, and after setting up the transmission Web UI and starting a large download I've lost the ability to connect to the server.  This has happened before with the connection restored once the download was complete.  What I want to know is if this was because of bandwidth or RAM23:37
escottJordan_U, as long as he creates a new file that isn't in the apt why should it be a problem23:37
neersightedJordan_U: Do i get any advantage if X starts at boot or can i say "screw it," and start CLI by default, and start X with service lightdm start23:38
escottJordan_U, seems that copying 10_linux to 11_linux_cli would be the appropriate way to deal with this23:38
ikoniaJokesOnYou77: you won't know until you can get onto the machine to check23:38
neersightedthere, fresh 11_linux23:39
ikoniaJokesOnYou77: I suspect it will be bandwidth eating your network and ssh responding too slow to login23:39
* neersighted makes is 11_linux-cli23:39
ikoniaok, can we give the /me command a rest place23:39
ikoniadon't need a running commentory23:39
jolihi23:39
neersightedokay?23:39
neersighted...23:40
joliis it normal for xorg server to run as root?23:40
Jordan_Uescott: Because 10_linux depends on functions in grub-mkconfig_lib whose semantics may change, and any mistake can break kernel updates even without that.23:40
neersightedescott: I'm not changeing 10_linux23:41
neersighted*Jordan_U23:41
escottJordan_U, well thats pretty much true of hooking into anything in /etc. for all we know /etc/default/grub might be completely replaced tomorrow23:41
neersightedI'm using it as a base, but hardcoding all but kernel version23:41
neersightedBurg FTW!23:41
JokesOnYou77ikonia: Ok, that was my suspicion as well.  But this didn't happen when I didn't have the web UI stuff set up. I'll try capping the bandwidth at a lower speed and see if that helps.  I'm trying to figure out if I need to upgrade the RAM since it has less than 1G. But maybe it's just the bandwidth23:41
JokesOnYou77neersighted: Agreed, I love Burg23:42

sajuukthanatoskhhey guys, I upgraded to 11.10 and I can't get my graphics resolution up to what it was in 10.10.  My drivers were setup so that I could do two screens at 1920x1080 and 1280x(!800)1024?  Anyway the driver doesn't detect how big the screen can go and its causing me a little frustration.  My graphics controller is a Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller.23:53

neersightedor add this to 11_linux-cli23:55
neersightedbut then will i get dupe'd entries?23:55
neersightedescott?23:57
escottneersighted, no dont replace it. you should run diff 10_linux 11_linux-cli and understand the different, then leave both. they will both create menu entries for you23:57
sajuukthanatoskhpp7, you think a reformat and new ubuntu setup is the way to go then?  What if my video drivers still don't work?23:57
pp7sajuukthanatoskh: totally23:57
