[00:01] pp7, I want to install arch linux eventually [00:01] pp7, for the moment I'd like to get rid of ubuntu [00:02] is there a support channel? [00:03] acoustyk after you uninstalled ubuntu, it's a win7 question, ask there [00:05] WTF... [00:05] I am currently reinstalling GRUB. The boot repair screen has been sitting on this message for about 20 minutes "Reinstall GRUB sda. This may require several minutes..." Do you think it might be stuck? [00:05] hello guys i have installed openttd but icant make it work [00:05] Does the progress bar move? [00:05] how can i set it ? [00:05] OpenTTD... hmm... doesnt that require a legit CD? [00:06] Of the proprietary game data? [00:06] ETERNA - are you talking to me? yes, the activity bar is flicking back and forwards... [00:06] Good... [00:06] ETERNA: oh realy ? cus this french [00:06] Means it probably did not crash. [00:06] ETERNA: so no ways to play it ? [00:07] my laptop monitor screen shows up an "unknown" in display propterties, in previous version of ubuntu it was detected properly, it doesn't detect my dell sx2210 monitor either, which in previous versions worked as well. Any suggestions? my laptop is an Alienware m15x [00:07] tmux in scripts: how to use tmux in a script to open four party with four different commands? [00:08] godofmischief: not that I can help, but I am curious - is there any thing that is no longer available (ie: resolution or so) or is it just that it now does not display the name?

[00:10] Godofmischief: [00:10] hello [00:10] I used nm [00:11] Godofmischief: Try finding your card-specific drivers in Restricted Drivers === dmb is now known as Guest14479 [00:11] I used nmap to probe my box, and I see domain and smtp open [00:11] bah [00:11] Godofmischief: Install the recommended one. [00:11] I used nmap to probe my box, and I see domain and smtp open, how to close them? Why are they open? [00:11] Um... [00:12] Guest: [00:12] yus? [00:12] Guest14479: If you're behind a router it's not a big deal [00:12] mbeierl, its fine, many resolutions are availbile to include 1920x1080 which is what im running at. [00:12] my gfx card is a geforce gtx 260m [00:12] ETERNA, ive done this an im running the recommended 3rd party driver through additional drivers [00:12] Guest: Change your name to something recognisable more easily. [00:12] JokesOnYou77: I am, but I don't trust my housemates [00:12] Guest14479: first, smtp. Check if there is an SMTP server running on your box. The first and easiest way that comes to my mind is to go to terminal and enter "netstat -napt | grep 25" [00:12] (shared house) [00:12] Godofmischief: Good. [00:12] Guest14479: how do I reg? [00:13] Godofmischief: Try getting the driver from your card manufacturer directly. [00:13] Godofmischief: Should be on the website. [00:13] ETERNA: what kind of game is uqm ??

[00:14] Guest14479: ok, that is a second confirmation. yes you do have an SMTP server running. Now the next easiest way I know to see what process it is, is to use sudo to show the process: "sudo netstat -napt | grep 25" [00:14] Star control 2 [00:14] ETERNA, even tried the linux driver provided from geforce, but this caused a nvidia kernal conflict that jacked things up ended up resintalling. [00:14] ETERNA, followed the directions provided by geforce to install the driver that is a far newer version then ubuntu suggests, had a nvidia kernel error i coldn't recover from [00:14] Guest14479: you are familiar with sudo? === Guest14479 is now known as killface [00:15] ETERNA: thanks : d [00:15] Godofmischief: You do know... [00:15] Godofmischief: that you can run the installer with the --reinstall option in a TTY to fix the issue? [00:15] anyone know how to get back the gnome3 panels in ubuntu 11.10; they keep crashing everytime I restart ubuntu === zkriesse is now known as zkriesse_ [00:16] Anon: I have no idea... srry. [00:16] Anon: My skill is technical stuffz. [00:16] ETERNA, what should be on the website? i downloaded it from the website, and followed the directions to install it, corrupted the nvidia kernel === killface is now known as blabface [00:17] mbeierl: I belive I heard of it [00:18] sudo5887/master [00:18] wut [00:18] tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 5887/master [00:18] blabface: ok. process id 5887 is what is listening on that port. Next: ps aux | grep 5887 [00:18] blabface: that'll tell us the command line that it is running. [00:18] /usr/lib/postfix/master [00:19] I must have installed postfix while trying to send gmail from the cli [00:19] I remember doing that one time so I could upload all my mp3s to gmail [00:19] anyone know how to get back the gnome3 panels in ubuntu 11.10; they keep crashing everytime I restart ubuntu [00:19] I don't understand how to configure the runlevel of daemons on this version of ub [00:19] blabface: then that is the answer for that. Which is good. You can shut it down with "sudo service postfix stop", but it will start on the next boot [00:20] anonymous44: disable compiz? [00:20] mbeierl: right [00:20] blabface: running classic [00:20] hi [00:20] ETERNA, what do i know? lol [00:20] blabface: or you can remove postfix with "sudo apt-get remove postfix", etc. [00:20] blabface: which will leave the config behind in case you want to enable it again later. [00:20] anyone one know the most populare c++ compiler in linux? [00:20] mbeierl: I'd rather just set the runlevel to 'off' [00:20] but I'm not sure how [00:20] Godofmischief: Here is a help.

[00:21] anonissimus: oh, never heard that one :O [00:21] mbeierl: intersting solution [00:21] gets round the 'runlevels are a totaL mystery' problem [00:21] blabface: which is where i'm drawing a blank. gimme a moment... [00:21] Godofmischief: Like, a settings app menu? [00:21] hehe [00:21] thanks mbeierl [00:21] ubottu: tell fartofaggotry about polls [00:21] fartofaggotry, please see my private message [00:21] escott: I LOVE YOU! [00:21] IT WORKS!

I'm like 8.04 or such [00:23] service lightdm start [00:23] oops [00:23] wrong screen [00:23] * neersighted slaps himself [00:23] it works, and I'm ...

[00:24] blabface: ah, ok. you should get yourself to 8.10 or so. 8.04 is eol iirc. [00:24] sudo kill neersighted [00:25] ah sorry, ... wrong chan [00:25] but 8.10 is going to be different [00:25] wine [00:25] * blabface wimpers [00:25] IT WORKED!

[00:27] * mbeierl nods vigorously [00:27] * mbeierl gets neck cramp [00:28] /usr/sbin/dnsmasq [00:28] I think I use that... [00:28] I planned to use that to get round my works silly vpn [00:28] blabface: yes. and you can change it to listen to localhost only [00:29] * blabface stops dnsmasq [00:29] blabface: should you so desire to do so that is. edit /etc/dnsmasq.conf and look for the "interfaces" line. iirc? [00:29] ok, looks like my ports are secure [00:30] anyone know how to get back the gnome3 panels in ubuntu 11.10; they keep crashing everytime I restart ubuntu, running gnome3 classic, no effects (no unity) [00:30] blabface: there is also a useful set of checks that you can run periodically to make sure nothing is awry with your system. rkhunter is a good example. [00:30] I didn't update to 8.10 cus I didn't have space, but recently I baught a flash disk the size of ... well, it's small, and it's got more space than my whole box! [00:30] blabface: (root kit hunter = rkhunter) [00:30] blabface: sorry I was wrong. 8.04 is the LTS. 8.10 is not [00:30] it wants me to try 10.04.3 LTS [00:30] blabface: stay there, or go to 10.04 [00:31] blabface: 10.04 is another stable release, but it is new, etc, and there are changes. however, you will need to move off 8.04 at some point when it goes EOL === root is now known as Guest17523 [00:32] mbeierl: cool, I thought it was EOL [00:32] blabface: I am wrong again. 8.04 IS eol: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [00:32] blabface: it went EOL back in May of this year. [00:32] blabface: you can downgrade to 8.04 server for it to still be supported [00:32] anyone know how to get back the gnome3 panels in ubuntu 11.10; they keep crashing everytime I restart ubuntu, running gnome3 classic, no effects (no unity) [00:33] * blabface hunts for the interfaces line in dnsmasq.conf [00:33] is it bind-interfaces [00:33] hahaha [00:33] thought so [00:33] chrome of all things bitches every time it starts about 'your os is out of date' [00:33] but other than that, it's all good [00:33] blabface: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:33] anonymous44: if you start them from a terminal with "gnome-panel" after they crash, does it give any meaningful output? [00:34] FloodBot1: are you reading my eloquence or what? [00:34] mbeierl: `menu_proxy_module_load': gnome-panel: undefined symbol: menu_proxy_module_load [00:34] blabface: it's all good until a security vulnerability is found in one of the packages you run or so... Chances of that being serious are small, but still.... [00:34] mbeierl: yeah... I have the space to upgrade now [00:34] I should give it a try [00:35] anonymous44: hmmm. google is not being helpful on that one tonight. give me a little more time to do some reading and i'll see what comes up [00:36] blabface: you can always download it to a USB and play with it until you are comfortable. [00:36] mbeierl: thanks. that started it up, have a feeling gnome3 is not quite stable yet. [00:37] anonymous44: what changes did you make before the issue began? [00:37] blabface: what I also do is create a second root partition and alternate OS versions on that: /ver1 /home /ver2 and depending on which I feel like using I boot using /ver1 as / or /ver2 as / [00:37] mbeierl: http://wiki.debian.org/HowTo/dnsmasq <- I don't see how dnsmasq listen to localhost only [00:37] anonymous44: so they run even though that output is present. [00:37] bastidrazor: I moved the taskbar to the bottom so there was only one, added default things like clock, menu, icons, etc. then the HD crashed, maybe due to ethernet/wireless driver or encryption [00:37] mbeierl: I'll try the usb thing... I'm short of disk [00:38] blabface: interface=lo [00:38] bastidrazor: a scan of the HD displayed no bad sectors (from a live disk) [00:38] blabface: and the 8.04 to 10.04 should be a smooth upgrade. it will be the most tested upgrade path of them all [00:38] blabface: once you decide to bite the bullet that is [00:39] mbeierl: ic [00:39] ##hardware [00:39] mbeierl: I set that line, then restarted dnsmasq, then ran nmap, and the port still seems open, but then again, I guess I'm localhost [00:39] blabface: the netstat -napt will still show dnsmasq listening, but it will read "127.0.0.1:53" instead of 0.0.0.0:53 [00:40] blabface: or *:53 [00:40] blabface: and that would be netstat -napu not -t. [00:40] tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:53 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN - [00:40] blabface: service dnsmasq restart? [00:41] stop and then start, so yeah [00:41] (no 'service' on this box ;-) [00:41] blabface: give me a moment to check on something... [00:41] sudo /etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart [00:41] ++ [00:41] how can I stop compiz loading on boot from a TTY (gnome, ubuntu 11.04) [00:42] I got this error http://ompldr.org/vYm1oMQ do you know any idea about this? [00:42] hello, I'm using ubuntu 11.10 and I'm trying to install a webcam server. I found the package webcam-server but it's not working with ubuntu 11.10. Any other suggestions? thanks [00:42] blabface: maybe this instead: listen-address=127.0.0.1 [00:43] same [00:43] is there an autostart file, or a config somewhere I can edit? (to disable compiz loading at boot) [00:43] Could anyone help me connect my desktop to my wifes laptop with samba? It works on fresh installs but, stops working after a while for unknown reasons. [00:43] blabface: iirc, while it is bound to *, it drops all packets coming in from the interfaces it is told to ignore... [00:44] so unless i scan with a differnt box, it'll appear open? [00:44] action parsnip available? [00:44] blabface: that is what the "bind-interfaces" directive is for. You want to uncomment that line if you want it to bind to 127.0.0.1 only [00:45] I have a multiport nic card and it's now renamed 3 of my four ports to eth#_rename after I did a reinstallation. I'm running 10.04 and I previously had a NIC bond. I need help ASAP as I'm deploying to afghanistan soon! [00:45] oic === pharr is now known as x999 [00:45] blabface: I knew there was another knob for that [00:45] mbeierl: works [00:45] blabface: dnsmasq is an old favourite of mine, but i don't have it installed here yet [00:46] interface=lo also works when bind-interfaces is uncommented [00:46] blabface: yes, it would. that is the purposed of the bind-interfaces directive [00:46] mbeierl: yeah, I wanted to use it so I could still watch youtube while on the office vpn ;-) [00:46] mbeierl: cool, thanks for help [00:46] blabface: wait... say that again? [00:47] blabface: i am concerned you might not be doing what you think you are [00:47] this is a disaster man [00:47] blabface: with the vpn. do they refuse to serve a DNS address, or do they track your web usage? Just having a local DNS server might not be enough. === funkyHat_ is now known as funkyHat [00:47] mbeierl: office uses cisco vpn that sends all trafic via the tun by default. Currently I know I'm not configuring that, I'm just locking down the dnsmasq daemon [00:47] I can't kill compiz w/o it coming back right away, back at 99% CPU usage..

I need help ASAP as I'm deploying to afghanistan soon! [00:48] mbeierl: not sure, either way, youtube causes the vpnc daemon to die in a nasty way [00:48] could even be an issue with my router (this is over wireless) [00:48] blabface: dnsmasq will still forward its requests to your office VPN. what you want is a concept called split tunnel. your cicso vpn may be configured by IT policy to disallow split tunnel\ [00:48] I found the wireless network 'dies' when I watch youtube while 'running' the vpn [00:48] I got [[Trying modes for CRT 345. CRT345 trying mode 3840x1080@50 Hz with output at 1920x1080@50Hz(pass 0)]] do you know any idea about this? [00:49] blabface: I currently use the vpnc cicso client and am able to do a split tunnel. which vpn software are you using [00:49] mattheas: i have seen that weird occurrence. can you share your bonding configuration? [00:49] mbeierl: oh, I thought I could use dnsmasq to send certain packets (such as internet) to a differnt 'interface' instead of sending everything to the tun [00:49] blabface: no. that won't do it, sorry. [00:50] the one in the repo (not the cisco one) [00:50] SolarisBoy: The bond no longer even exists, I did a reinstall [00:50] oic [00:50] mattheas: is udev running? [00:50] blabface: that is vpnc. did you use the Network Manager GUI to configure it? [00:50] I have no idea about network stuff tbh, and I don't work there any more [00:50] blabface: oh . ok. right. this is a leftover. [00:50] mbeierl: no, I couldn't get network manager to work, so I used the pcf2conf and run it on the cli [00:50] SolarisBoy: I had check that 70 persistent rules file and none of my HWaddresses were in there other than one === neersighted is now known as Guest76998 [00:50] mbeierl: right [00:50] es: Just wanted to say all boots fine [00:51] derp [00:51] blabface: I just can't resist helping when I hear VPN because it is so mis-understood [00:51] mattheas: were they previously? === Guest76998 is now known as neersighted [00:51] SolarisBoy: Yes, and though I can't confirm I'm 90% sure they all had different HW addresses [00:51] mbeierl: I got an omenous email from my new office... beta testers for vpn wanted ... [00:51] blabface: so, you should be nicely locked down now. Happy fortress! [00:51] yay! [00:51] blabface: do it! [00:51] heheh, I don't like it... I mis-understand it [00:52] has anyone had any luck installing nginx 1.1.4 from apt?? [00:52] what programming language is used for the Ubuntu operating system? [00:52] x999: c [00:52] blabface: there's always this channel for help :) [00:52] I can't get an answer out of anyone [00:52] So if i wanted to install another disro, do i just resize my partition, let it install it's version of grub, then apend it's grub code to my current grub menu? [00:52] *distro [00:52] mattheas: yes this seems to be the case where you just need to go ahead and give udev the proper rules for each interface.. for instance check the startup messages from when each nic boots.. and see the mac it is given,, than cross compare with ifconfig once boot up is done,, than hard code the udev rules for the macs [00:52] depends on what you mean as well x999 [00:52] and you should be good [00:52] hmm on irc.us.irc.net the channels I join don't work one has a user named Analgetica and the other galahaad. I wonder what happened.

[00:56] maun: sudo updatedb; locate rc.local [00:56] /etc/rc.local [00:56] bradhe: in the "Synaptic Package Manager" app, you can specify the version you want, and then lock that version in to prevent it from being upgraded [00:56] where it belongs atleast..

I cannot get my desktop (xUbuntu) to see my wifes laptop.

[01:11] Num83rGuy: k, just checking. As MS Windows is sometimes a tricky thing to get sharing in the open. Which is why I think it's good to verify with a second install before assuming it's a sudden samba failure. it might save time, or it might not... [01:15] SolarisBoy: It sets 2 of the 4 at their own mac's and then the other two are identical [01:16] Num83rGuy: sorry... I hope that did not sound dismissive. I'm not that good at samba, so I don't know further troubleshooting. [01:16] mattheas: is that in dmesg? and is that what you see in ifconfig regardless of the devices being named eth*_rename? [01:17] SolarisBoy: Yes. It's incorrect as well. [01:17] mattheas: is it the same? [01:17] SolarisBoy: Yes [01:17] SolarisBoy: Pretty muched I'm fucked [01:17] mattheas: do you have the initial mac addresses of the interfaces? [01:18] When I try to reinstall at least two of them go to _rename [01:18] SolarisBoy: lol, no [01:18] Hi guys. How can I go into runlevel 1, and after done doing stuff, how do I get back to the default? [01:18] mattheas: well i dont think you are completely out of luck.. let me think [01:19] mattheas: generally if this is a production issue,, we roll out upgrades and things of this nature to staging environments which mimic our prod sites etc.. you know? [01:19] how do I see the current LD_LIBRARY_PATH? [01:19] SolarisBoy: I do have the driver file here, and it says something about changing the mac [01:19] SMJ: echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH [01:20] mattheas: interesting. also it may be in the modinfo -v output [01:20] Hello I am having a problem my clipboard seems to be broken whenever i highlight something with the mouse as soon as I am done highlighting the text to copy and paste the text un highlights itself and i am unable to copy and paste I am using compiz as a desktop manager [01:20] as a window manager [01:20] SolarisBoy: that prints an empty line which surely can [01:20] 't be it [01:21] Xfce I'm having trouble with everything being stuck at the top bar I can't maximize your minimize git installed g pointing device settings. restarted and got this issue. any help on how to fix it would be greatly appreciate it [01:21] SMJ: sudo ldconfig -v [01:21] SolarisBoy: I'm not seeing anything on it. However, I can change the macs using # ifconfig ethX hw ether YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:YY [01:21] SolarisBoy: then rename them using 70-persistent-rules? [01:21] mattheas: are you going to use a fake mac for the interface with the duplicate which you do not know the proper mac name for? [01:21] mattheas: if so yes you can try that [01:22] yes [01:22] mattheas: have you tried breaking the bond and bringing the interfaces up individually? [01:22] SolarisBoy: since I reinstalled the bond shouldn't be active anymore, correct? [01:22] Hello all [01:22] ohh ok my bad you did a reinstall.. [01:22] I'm getting issues with apport 1.23-0ubuntu4. [01:22] SolarisBoy: Yeah, that bond no longer exists [01:23] Some pre-start script exits with status 1 after installing [01:23] are you sure the driver is properly installed? [01:23] mattheas: i was under the impression you were already bonded [01:23] Anyone know why this could be?

[01:24] SolarisBoy: Negative, I don't even know that a bond will work with identical macs [01:24] you dont specify macs technically in a bond [01:24] noth: that's more useful [01:24] SolarisBoy: True, we could try rebonding and seeing if 802.3ad will work [01:24] SolarisBoy: r8168-8, not special at all [01:24] piping to 'grep /' is more readable though [01:25] Hello newbie here , I love ubuntu but have an nfs issue not sure if this the correct forum to post a question ?? [01:25] the bond wont work if its reading identical macs though... [01:25] SMJ : if you dont have sudo permission, you have to use LD_LIBRARY_PATH. [01:25] SolarisBoy: So, shall I create a fake mac? [01:25] I have [01:26] mattheas: try it [01:26] SolarisBoy: scratch that, 3 of my ports are using the same mac now. this is trash. [01:26] i can't confirm it will work or not [01:26] noth: which end of that list is the preferred one?

[01:27] mattheas: include lspci -vvv also please [01:27] or lshw -C network [01:27] SMJ: sorry that I can understand you mean.

The best way to do it, if this isn't a mission-critical system that is holding up some part fo your network infrastructure is to backup and then reinstall. But if this is a large system the best thing to do is do a test upgrade in a virtual box before a major upgrade [01:44] MahaVishnu: I tried samba but gave up, figure that since it both machines are ubuntu OS I should stick with nfs and keep it simple, i made a folder on the client and sudo mount the folder and I m getting a mount point error [01:44] No , two USB drives , one on my old laptop , one on the newer laptop === funnyfingers_ is now known as funnyfingers [01:45] norton, what error, and yea ubuntu to ubuntu nfs is better.

[02:34] I have updated Ubuntu 10.10 to latest, After that MobileBroad band failed to get connetcted, i treid a lot, finally i backed out the change [02:34] (though placing one in the path I listed will have X read it on startup) [02:34] at least not by default sajuukkhar it creates everytime you boot [02:34] Anybody knows the reason? [02:35] xangua, its just my resolution on my laptop isnt what it is meant to be and it can't detect the 1080p TV screen im hooked upto so it defaults the resolution to that as 1024x768 :| [02:36] and someone told me to reformat the laptop so it would work and... well, it still doing it [02:36] anone up for helping a newbie with basic nfs config on an ubuntun client server network?

[02:42] Has anyone else had stability problems with flash over the last week? It's worked solid for a few years for me, and a few months on 11.10, but it's been crashing on flash videos and sites very often recently. [02:42] superlou: Not me. For me it's actually been working better recently than before. [02:43] superlou, pastebin this for me? lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark' [02:43] MahaVishnu, doing so... [02:43] Hello [02:43] hello [02:43] Guys you can ask, if any RHEL/fedora issues [02:44] MahaVishnu, http://pastebin.com/BSwzphHU [02:44] Maha: that fstab is run on the server side correct? [02:44] how ca i use gtalk [02:44] norton, no client [02:45] KFP, i probably got lucky and hit an edge case [02:45] thanks linux admins for helping the world not suck :) you guys rule !! [02:45] Is there a reason why when i power of bluetooth is enable again after powercycle? [02:45] superlou, sudo dpkg -P flashplugin-downloader:i386 [02:45] I mean i dont dislike bluetooth but i dont get the idea of getting it on by default [02:45] guys what driver do I use for the Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller? [02:45] !help blutooth [02:45] !help bluetooth [02:45] I really have no idea [02:45] MahaVishnu, even though i'm on x64? [02:46] I had it working on 10.10 but 11.10 broke it [02:46] superlou, thats the old i386 version. you have the x86_64 stuff installed, we aren't touching those. [02:47] MahaVishnu, ok. Command done. Ah, P = purge? [02:47] superlou, yea. [02:47] should i try restarting browser? [02:47] superlou, yea can't hurt. now your on same flash as me. [02:47] My memory car is not detected by ubuntu. I have locked the card using my nokia phone and lost the password. How can i format and use the card? [02:49] superlou, what are you using firefox ? [02:49] aruncn1 use fdisk /dev/sdXYZ === dkg is now known as danielkg [02:49] aruncn1, how have you tried to get ubuntu to recognize the card? [02:49] anyone know how to change video graphics drivers? [02:49] MahaVishnu, well, so far no crashes yet, but it can be kinda sporadic. I typically use Chrome, but I had used a firefox plugin to try the i386 version in compatability mode previously [02:50] superlou, I use firefox and this version is working good for me, I have heard chromium (chrome on linux I think) is really good though. So you should be good I'd think. [02:50] MahaVishnu, drat. Still crashing [02:51] sajuukkhar https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [02:51] superlou, hrm. and this just started happening when exactly ? [02:51] MahaVishnu, it's a little bizarre. I think it was about 1.5 weeks-ish [02:51] superlou, did you update flash, or chromium in that time span ? [02:51] aruncn1, please use the channel to communicate rather than private messages- thanks! [02:52] sPrinGfield, thanks I will read it :) [02:52] MahaVishnu, it's weird because i never had any issues before. I didn't do anything except normal updates as far as I know. AFter it started crashing, I tried a couple things that may have left my system looking funny, but when the symptoms first showed up, it was ordinary 11.10 instsall [02:52] anyone know how big the kernel source is and where i get it? [02:53] Mitchell_, depending on what you're looking to do with it, might find the answer here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [02:53] superlou, yea. Im at a loss, what makes it crash exactly, or is it just general instability? [02:53] brightspark: i've connected the card to pc, but it is not detected 08:20:50 AM [02:53] Dec 8 08:20:40 ubuntuserver01 kernel: [ 1260.208041] usb 4-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 [02:53] Dec 8 08:20:40 ubuntuserver01 kernel: [ 1260.276073] hub 4-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1 [02:53] Dec 8 08:20:40 ubuntuserver01 kernel: [ 1260.516052] usb 1-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4 [02:53] okay, has anyone gotten ubuntu 11.10 to install from usb on a macbook pro with no cd drive ?

[02:54] superlou, i'd install firefox to isolate it being a browser problem somehow just as one thing to try. [02:54] Seems general instability. It'll play about 30 seconds of a video than crash. Sometimes it won't. On large flash based sites, it might work for a while and then give up [02:54] MahaVishnu, i've tried using firefox too, same issue :) [02:54] superlou, i dont need to compile it, i just need it to compile a driver [02:54] Mitchell_, i believe that page links to the git repo with the source [02:54] superlou, yea idk sounds like a bug in the flash plugin code somewhere which I hear is pretty common..... especially on linux I hear flash is on it's way out but thats beside the matter at hand. [02:55] MahaVishnu, I'd be a fan if it got itself the heck out, but for now we're kinda stuck with it. Especially sites like sharedtalk.com which are a full page in nothing but flash. [02:55] brightspark: http://paste.ubuntu.com/763389/ [02:55] MahaVishnu, I'm gonna sleep on it and fight it some more later. Thanks for the help! [02:56] superlou, alright sry I couldn't help more. [02:56] I have a presario cq57 laptop. i have researched as much as i can. i have no more hair. does anyone know which distro has wireless that works for my box? [02:56] aruncn1, do you see the card when you run lsusb? [02:57] brainiac_: try ##linux ?

[03:01] sidney sudo shutdown -r now [03:01] ejv, you UID # must match the old user name. "ls -ld /home/olddir" do you see numbers instead of username? or the wrong username? [03:01] brightspark, thx for the response [03:02] zykotick9: ls -ln reports the same UID's as /etc/passwd [03:03] 1000 1000 [03:03] Maha: I thought it was a pretty simple process according to all the posts on the boards but I just cant seem to get it work. all i want to do is transer photos and spool print jobs from my client laptop to the server. Any ideas on how to trouble shoot? [03:03] 1000 1000 is consistent with /etc/passwd [03:03] ejv, you didn't answer my question - so someone else can help you. Good luck. [03:04] norton, if you want to spool print jobs you need to use samba. anyway not nfs. [03:04] ihmm [03:04] resistance: i thank you. done. [03:04] ah ld, ld shows user user [03:04] not UIDs [03:04] I'm on Maverick Meerkat- icons in the notification area use the wrong theme. Is there a way to force the battery, network icons to use my current theme? [03:04] when trying to create a new user, via useradd, the same thing happens [03:05] i would assume that the default permissions would be in place [03:05] and that chowning wouldn't be necessary using the useradd tool; i've certainly never seen this before [03:05] zykotick9: *poke* [03:06] ejv, someone else can help you. good luck. [03:06] so you don't know either... wonderful lol [03:07] brightspark: tried to reset unity¿ [03:07] unity --reset [03:08] ok let me repeat my question with all available information; im unable to login to my home dir as a normal user, I recieve "Could not chdir to home directory Permission denied". /etc/passwd reports my UID's as 1000. /etc/group reports my UID as 1000. ls -ln reports the home dir UID as 1000:1000. ls -ld reports the home dir as user:user. Using `useradd` on a brand new username, also fails with the same error. Suggestions welcome! [03:09] maha: I tried samba and it always asked me for a password and workgroup when I was on the client so it never worked. [03:09] xangua, I am on Maverick, not Natty or Oneiric. This problem persists across reboots, so I'm skeptical that resetting anything would be the answer. [03:10] (Maverick uses the gnome-panels rather than the Unity launcher. [03:10] !panels [03:10] try to reset the panel then brightspark [03:10] To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [03:12] is anyone here familiar with libudev? I'm trying to figure out how to get a list of all external storage devices (usb keys, usb hds, sd cards, etc), but having a lot of trouble. How do I know which devices listed by something like udevadm correspond to the device types I want to look out for? [03:12] xangua, thanks. That did not fix the icons; it just moved the things on the panel back to their default locations. [03:13] hey guys I have the i915 driver running on my graphics card, how do i switch to the intel one? [03:13] sajuukkhar: intel uses open drivers ;) [03:14] sajuukkhar, i915 sounds like intel driver actually... [03:14] xangua, its not a very good one then [03:15] sajuukkhar, yup i915 is what my intel netbook is using as a driver - so that is the open source intel driver [03:16] in gnome3, how to disable the icon display for the activated program in the top bar? that icon is kinda ugly, only partial icon is always shown. thanks. [03:16] sajuukkhar, that hans_reiser automatic PM is super annoying. Good luck. [03:16] I'm on Maverick Meerkat- icons in the notification area use the wrong theme. Is there a way to force the battery, network icons to use my current theme? [03:16] zykotick9, xangua, so what is a better driver for the Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller [03:17] hans_reiser, hello [03:17] im missing resolutions for this screen and the 40" 1080p screen [03:17] sajuukkharrrr (avoiding your nic hopefully), nope, that's what you get. [03:17] :( didn't work [03:17] Hello, I'm unable to login to my home dir as a normal user, I recieve "Could not chdir to home directory Permission denied". /etc/passwd reports my UID's as 1000. /etc/group reports my UID as 1000. ls -ln reports the home dir UID as 1000:1000. ls -ld reports the home dir as user:user. Using `useradd` on a brand new username, also fails with the same error. Suggestions welcome! Thx. [03:18] zykotick9, so i just go back to 10.10 then? === funkyHat_ is now known as funkyHat [03:18] ejv: why would ls -ld report the home dir as 1000:1000 if a username exists with uid 1000? [03:18] why does hans_reiser send me private message automatically with my message copy? [03:19] sgo11, are you messaging sajuukkhar?

[03:21] sure [03:21] alright then, how do i go about forcing a resolution without xorg then? [03:21] sajuukkhar, sorry i thought you where responsible for the hans_reiser stuff. So what's your issue with the intel driver exactly? It doesn't support HD output? I'm suprised it ever did? [03:21] zykotick9, i got it to work somehow [03:22] zykotick9, in 10.10 but I updated to 11.10 and now nothing works so far :( === funkyHat_ is now known as funkyHat [03:22] * jrib sends funkyHat to ##fix_your_connection -_- [03:23] sajuukkhar, well, you can't really downgrade (except reinstall). Regression issues are common in Ubuntu, and upgrading almost always leads to "issues". Good luck, hope you find a real solution. [03:26] anyone know a good replacement for banshee? it is buggy and doesn't scrobb to last.fm! [03:26] where does network-manager keep its config on the interfaces ? [03:26] sajuukkhar, I feel silly for asking this, but did you explore your options in System>Preferences>Monitors (or whatever the equivalent is in your release)? [03:26] alFReD-NSH: rhythmbox [03:27] it also will be default on pangolin....again :P [03:27] MahaVishnu, in some internal database somewhere - not in a text file i've ever heard of, that's for sure. [03:27] brightspark, as in system settings monitors which has resolutions? [03:27] zykotick9, I switched to fluxbox, and I just realized I see nothing for network manager anymore. how do I view the gui of it, what command ? === aeon-ltd_ is now known as aeon-ltd [03:28] MahaVishnu, nm-applet === funkyHat1 is now known as funkyHat [03:28] pangolin is the next version? when it will b e released? [03:28] sajuukkhar, probably? I decided against moving to Natty due to Unity's interface, so I'm not quite sure, but it sounds reasonable. [03:29] zykotick9, ok thanks, also.. what is the benefit of this network-manager. should I just use /etc/network/interfaces to atleast be able to use ifup and ifdown and have it all in plain text ? [03:29] sajuukkhar, are you able to set it to the desired HD resolution using that dialog? [03:29] brightspark, nope [03:29] sajuukkhar, whats ur problem ??? [03:29] MahaVishnu, if you use wireless, i'd go N-M. If you use static or DHCP then interfaces is probably better. [03:29] brightspark, it seems to the think the laptop screen is a 16:10 screen and it can't identify the TV at all as a 1080p and i had it working in 1080p a few days ago [03:30] sajuukkhar, sorry. Just didn't want to overlook something obvious. [03:30] zykotick9, yea I use static. I think ill set up a interfaces file, is the package name for network-manager nm-applet ? [03:30] Hi all. I just pressed something and these big circles with arrows in them showed up in the corners and sides of my active window - I'm assuming to resize it. How do I do this again :\ [03:31] MahaVishnu, my Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller doesn't work in 11.10. I had it working a dual monitor setup of 1280x1024 and 1920x1080, it can only do 1280x800(laptop) and 1024x768 on the second screen [03:31] MahaVishnu, no - probably network-manager-* stuff. try "dpkg -l | grep network-manager" to see what's currently installed. [03:31] clear [03:31] MahaVishnu, even worse is that I can't remember how i got it to workin 10.10 [03:32] has anyone here downloaded Vuze? Mine keeps crashing. [03:33] michaeljwjr: it stopped working for me a few versions back i abandoned it [03:33] I'm on Maverick Meerkat- icons in the notification area use the wrong theme. Is there a way to force the battery and network icons to use my current theme? [03:34] What's a good a torrent to use then? [03:34] easy to use one. [03:34] transmission [03:34] Like one I can do a search in and then just download from within it. [03:34] hi to all [03:34] i dunno about that =) [03:35] rtorrent and transmission are nice light clients if you already have the link,, i haven't found a comparison for vuze built in search feature yet,, thats why i did like it when it worked [03:35] sajuukkhar, can you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:35] I need to add another path into the variable $PATH permanently [03:35] MahaVishnu, I have no xorg.conf [03:36] michaeljwjr, try opera, google & buildin torrentclient [03:36] barby: you can append it in one of your .files [03:36] mmmm [03:36] like .bashrc or .bash_profile if you want it globally you can put it /etc/profile [03:36] ok [03:36] oerheks, Buildin Torrentclients? [03:37] barby, see ~/.profile for just your user (~/.bashrc would also work) [03:37] sajuukkhar, pastebin xrandr -q [03:37] michaeljwjr, no, just 1 client [03:37] how to get gnome-screensaver to permanently stop locking screen upon display blanking? [03:37] ok so what's the name of the client I have to download that works with google? [03:38] Or just use google to look for what I want? [03:38] i need it for root [03:38] i got into gnome-screensaver -prefs and uncheck the option yet the screen still locks [03:38] you can put in the respecitve users home.. roots would be /.profile than i guess =) [03:38] my .bashrc [03:38] call "cat /etc/debian_chroot" [03:38] MahaVishnu, http://pastebin.com/Fe35Drf3 [03:38] woot solved it [03:38] but this file is empty [03:38] mazda01, gnome2 - open screensaver settings and remove check from lock screen. Unity/Gnome3 open "screen" options and flick the lock switch. [03:38] barby: ? [03:39] barby, see ~/.profile for just your user [03:39] jrib: i won't be pastebin, solved the error [03:39] zykotick9, i already unchecked option in gnome2 [03:39] thx anyways [03:39] .profile calls ~/.bashrc [03:40] mazda01, is this a livecd or something? [03:40] Any suggestions for installing LILO on an old PC from the liveCD CLI? [03:40] mazda01, check in configuration editor. /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock might need to be unchecked [03:40] .bashrc calls /etc/debian_chroot, and it's empty [03:40] brightspark, that was it. THANKS [03:41] I can not understand where is set :( [03:41] mazda01, not a problem. [03:41] hi [03:41] brightspark, zykotick9 cause I had gnome-screensaver set to only blank the screen and within the gnome-power lock, it had blank_screen check marked [03:42] barby: your looking to append so simply PATH=$PATH:/new/path is sufficient... i dont think it matters where its initially defined no? [03:42] basically making a blank screen auto lock despite telling gnome-screensaver NOT to lock it [03:43] it was driving me nuts cause when I try to x11vnc --usepw into my machine for some reason shift key isn't handled correctly so password to unlock screen never worked. === carlos is now known as Guest83428 [03:43] MahaVishnu, can I make a new resolution using xrandr? [03:44] guess, that should be my next question, should x11vnc --usepw tunneled thru a ssh tunnel be accepting shift key presses as "shift"? [03:44] sajuukkhar, xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1920x1080 LVDS1= laptop screen VGA1= Monitor [03:44] is there any tutorials on how to setup my own Ubottu? [03:45] SolarisBoy, yes with the export works, but if I go out and return the change is lost [03:45] barby: the PATH is usually set by the process, this may help: http://askubuntu.com/questions/60218/how-to-add-a-directory-to-my-path [03:45] chamunks, learn to program [03:45] is there a good tutorial foir getting suspend or stand by to work in 10.04 Ubuntu?

Seems like ubottu runs just like i need. [03:47] hi guys :) [03:47] I basically need an admin for when all the moderators are asleep. [03:47] chamunks, either make one yourself or find one on github [03:48] Anon7, I know of Eggdrop and wiki points to a few others I just figured due to the open nature of ubuntu there might be a source for ubottu somewhere.

[03:52] sajuukkhar, xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1920x1080 [03:52] milamber, :) I'm sure that I can make it work [03:52] pr VGA1 for monitor [03:52] or*. [03:52] Sid0035, actual server for licenced copy owners of minecraft [03:52] MahaVishnu, my LVDS1 can only do 1280x1024 (i think its a 15.4") [03:52] Looking for some help on how to set up ubuntu/grub on RAID0 [03:53] sajuukkhar, well you want 1080p for the vga1 you said? [03:53] chamunks: if you need help come back - give us details on the problem and most likely someone here can help you through it [03:53] Sid0035, But my server is currently only in pre public release but if you would like to come visit its at. mynickname.com as the ip. [03:53] MahaVishnu, yep so i changed it to xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1920x1080 [03:53] hum i may have to join ur server Chamunks if i can get it to work on ubuntu ;) [03:53] MahaVishnu, however 'cannot find mode 1920x1080' [03:54] milamber, I appreciate that I come here when im reallly reallly stuck which doesnt happen very often. [03:54] Hi I might have screwed my sources list, can anyone help me? [03:54] Can anyone help me with ubuntu on RAID [03:54] sajuukkhar, and VGA1 is what a 1080p tv ? does xrandr -q show the new mode we added ? [03:54] Sid0035, well by all means please stop by :) as long as you can get java working minecraft has a working linux version which should suffice. there is plenty of documentation on how to make it go. [03:55] MahaVishnu, it is a 1080p tv :) i will check [03:55] hello [03:55] hi [03:55] lol [03:55] Hi fonsi [03:55] hey === helicomatic|afk is now known as helicomatic [03:56] can you guys help me I screwed up my sources list and can´t edit it [03:56] Why can't you edit it? [03:56] Can you be more specific? [03:56] Idk, it won let me save it [03:56] well tha's because you're doing it wrong [03:56] which text editor are you using? [03:56] vim? vi? gedit? nano? emacs? [03:56] I tried doing this gksu gedit +60 /etc/apt/sources.list [03:56] leafpad? [03:56] MahaVishnu, http://pastebin.com/QGphLFkX the xrandr -q [03:56] weong [03:57] wrong [03:57] but it doesn´t work [03:57] Nano.... is what you should use [03:57] Anon7: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:57] fonsi, sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [03:57] why should you use nano? [03:57] ^do it like that [03:57] then it should work [03:57] SolarisBoy, you shouldn't. However, some people prefer it. [03:57] it says command not found [03:57] okay [03:57] cd /etc/ [03:58] cd into the apt file? [03:58] did you type it correctly? [03:58] no [03:58] Anon7, it is generally preferred to use gksudo rather than sudo with graphical applications like gedit. [03:58] brightspark, there's no reason to use gksu [03:58] I copied and pasted it... [03:58] it works just fine either way... [03:58] heh [03:58] the fact of the matter is, you shouldn't use sudo at all. [03:58] !gksu | Anon7 [03:58] Anon7: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [03:58] the fact of the matter is, you shouldn't use sudo at all. [03:58] yeah... [03:58] interesting... [03:58] you should su into root [03:58] I was trying to put in a new source that it wouldn let me [03:59] thu dam [03:59] mk [03:59] So, how shall I proceed next? [03:59] kool i should revisit the site then and get the stuff i need for linux @chamunks [03:59] well i need help with installing ubuntu [03:59] fonsi, drop down into root [03:59] why not just use the source editor ubuntu comes with? [03:59] by doing the su command [03:59] ok [03:59] then open the file [03:59] what version of ubuntu are you using? [03:59] ##window [03:59] i have a pretty odd problem [03:59] cd /etc/apt/ [03:59] ##windows [03:59] newest one [03:59] then gedit sources.list [03:59] it really doesn't matter which editor you use... [04:00] it says gedit is not installed [04:00] sajuukkhar, xrandr --addmode VGA1 1920x1080 [04:00] well maybe it isn;t [04:00] but I can isntalled it with a broken sources list, right? [04:00] no [04:00] *can [04:00] do this [04:00] do vi sources.list [04:00] if vi isn't installed, then I cry for you. [04:00] MahaVishnu, I made an Xorg.conf in /etc/X11 also that still can't find mode '1920x1080' [04:00] *silent lols* [04:00] fonsi, LOL - you being misled... [04:00] a posix compliant system should have vim [04:01] i mean vi.. [04:01] bash: syntax error near unexpected token `do' [04:01] No? Why not? [04:01] I'm trying to install ubuntu... but i have a RAID0 Setup and i think that is preventing grub from being able to install correctly as my boot [04:01] fonsi, what exactly are you typing in? [04:01] dont type the "dp" [04:01] sajuukkhar, and that --newmode command I had you do, it worked fine ? cause the mode isn't showing up for some reason... [04:01] "do" [04:01] * [04:01] LOLOLOL [04:01] oh my god [04:01] Where are the repositories stored in ubuntu? [04:01] lol\ [04:01] yeah [04:01] just type 'vi sources.list' [04:01] then use vi to edit it [04:02] or vim [04:02] there's gotta be some text editor installd [04:02] RyuGuns: if you are referring the repo configuration it is in /etc/apt/sources.list and sources.list.d [04:02] there we go [04:02] it opened [04:02] okay [04:02] I know the error is in line 60\ [04:02] now use the keys [04:02] dude vi is installed by default.... [04:02] MahaVishnu, oh it failed [04:02] to find the rror [04:02] Anon7, that's a lot easier said than done if you haven't used vim before. [04:02] should i just deleted line 60? [04:02] then fix it [04:02] Anon7: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:02] Anon7, why on earth would you suggest to someone who uses gedit to use VI? You're being very unhelpful to the poster. fonsi [04:02] indeed... [04:02] MahaVishnu, Error of failed request: BadName (named color or font does not exist) [04:02] Major opcode of failed request: 150 (RANDR) [04:02] Minor opcode of failed request: 16 (RRCreateMode) [04:02] because vi is a simple text editor [04:03] fonsi: before you do anything else can you describe your problem in detail? [04:03] why not just have him open it in gedit? [04:03] whats wrong with that? [04:03] yes [04:03] Anon7, NO - nano is a simple text editor. vi is a powerful text editor. [04:03] SolarisBoy, gedit isn't installed he said [04:03] fonsi: did you try and edit that file to install new sources? [04:03] they told him to use gksudo to open a graphical editor [04:03] when I tryto update I get error message, when i try to sudo apt-get install same thing [04:03] oh [04:03] well install it [04:03] yes I did [04:03] he can't with a broken mirror file [04:03] fonsi: ok, we need to see the error messages you are getting [04:03] ok one sec [04:03] !pastebin | fonsi [04:03] fonsi: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[04:04] zykotick9, I left ubuntu to go to arch because I couldn't stand the bloat anymore. [04:04] zykotick9, I used Ubuntu for a long time before I got sick of canonical [04:04] sajuukkhar, change that to VGA-1 [04:04] Everene, what do you need help with [04:04] Anon7, well ubuntu != arch that's for sure [04:05] E:Malformed line 60 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (URI parse) [04:05] zykotick9, I found that the best way for me to learn in Ubuntu was to figure things out for myself. [04:05] that´s it [04:05] fonsi: so comment that line [04:05] Installed Ubuntu 11.10 alongside Win 7 and have not been able to load either OS since. Have tried to reinstall GRUB. Windows recovery can find no problems. REALLY stuck now... [04:05] Anon7: 1.) we don't tell people to use root. 2.) vi is not new-user friendly, shift : q! is not intuitive 3.) you hadn't even determined the exact error before you had him editing a pretty important file [04:05] put a # in front of it [04:05] Anon7, me to - but that's hardly the ubuntu-way ;) [04:05] fonsi: and run apt-get update [04:05] milamber, he told me what the problem was. === Y is now known as Guest11066 [04:05] I Tried to install Ubuntu, the newest update and grub wont work for me, i think it is because of my RAID setup.... [04:05] fonsi: which editor will you use? [04:06] I used the only one that worked [04:06] the one that anon told me [04:06] fonsi: cool ok so vi [04:06] Anon7: That's funny. I found the best way to learn in Ubuntu was to stick my penis in your mother. [04:06] milamber, it's better to use root than it is to use sudo. vi is a great text editor, it's one of the first ones I used. as a toddler. He told me he had messed up adding a source and needed to edit the file. I had ALL the informatuion. [04:07] !noroot | Anon7 [04:07] Anon7: We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. [04:07] MahaVishnu, so xrandr --addmode VGA-1 1920x1080? Doesn't work getting can't find output "VGA-1" [04:07] fonsi: so to get to line 60 in vi easily you can type 'vi filename +60' where filename is the name of the file you need to open [04:07] Anyone? [04:07] That's sad. Using sudo is basically forcing a system vulnerability. [04:07] I know how to use sudo [04:07] why is it better to use su than sudo? [04:07] sudo penis in Anon7's mother [04:07] sajuukkhar, sry VGA1 [04:08] what breaks when you use sudo vi ? [04:08] Anon7, i don't personally disagree with you. But in #ubuntu don't mention root. [04:08] SolarisBoy, because if you use sudo, and someone gains access to your machine and knows your password, they automatically have root access [04:08] Anon7: same applies for root [04:08] thats not true it depends on what you allow for them [04:08] Please just respect our rules. [04:08] if you dont allow the su command thats not true [04:08] pangolin, not if you have a different root password [04:08] But I won't help epople anymore [04:08] fine [04:08] well dont give incorrect info either... [04:09] MahaVishnu, now it cna't find mode 1920x1080 [04:09] Anyone? Anyone? [04:09] SolarisBoy, what was wrong abotu what I said? [04:09] kimp, please repeat your question [04:09] sajuukkhar, im at a loss. that --newmode command is supposed to add it. [04:09] this is a fast-moving channel and it's hard to keep up [04:10] well ONE of them is that if you have sudo you IMPLIED that means you have access to the su command when if you look at the sudo file or different setups of the sudo file you can see how easily prevented that is [04:10] Anon7, I installed ubuntu alongside win 7 and can not boot into either now. Tried reinstalling GRUB. Just get to GRUB rescue... [04:10] sajuukkhar, what does xrandr | grep maximum show you [04:10] So I tried to install Ubuntu everything went swell until grub tried to install, I think it is my RAID setup preventing [04:10] sudo == priviledge escalation so any other of your statements is expected other than that [04:10] kimp, do you have a RAID setup? [04:10] but thats just one thing. [04:10] Everene, no raid [04:11] MahaVishnu, I like this :) 8192x8192 [04:11] how to format USB on ubuntu11.10? [04:11] Well i've got the same problem as kimp [04:11] nhocht: right clic, format [04:12] no [04:12] nhocht: or run mkfs on the dev file [04:12] Everene, when I tried to reinstall GRUB, it got stuck saying something about 'Reinstalling GRUB...' How about you? [04:12] Mine just cant find my harddrives [04:13] kimp, Everene when you installed Ubuntu did you start the install from inside windows, or did you boot from the livecd? [04:13] sajuukkhar, I am not sure why it is not working...... [04:13] kimp, I booted from the livecd [04:13] zykotick9, live CD for me [04:13] MahaVishnu, lets start over then ? I have a max res of 8.1kx8.1k [04:13] kimp, Everene both of you then :) Good luck guys [04:14] It tried to install GRUB 1.99, which seemed odd to me [04:14] how? [04:14] sajuukkhar, yea thats ur framebuffer. just making sure it was big enough. [04:14] kimp, that's grub 2 BTW [04:14] thank zykotick9 [04:14] MahaVishnu, my LVDS1 is 15.4" which i think is 1280x1040 or 1280x980 i have no idea [04:14] kimp, i can tell you how to get your windows back [04:14] Anon7, any ideas? [04:14] Everene, how? [04:14] do you have the original win 7 cd [04:14] kimp, yeah one second I'm helpoing someone else [04:15] how to 1920x1080 in tty? [04:15] kimp, if you PM me, I can walk you through and save both paritions [04:15] kimp, do you have a win7cd? [04:16] goodnight everybody. [04:16] Anon7, not sure how to PM! [04:16] I am using webchat [04:16] sajuukkhar, if that --newmode command will not work using the info from cvt then I am not sure how to continue... [04:16] kimp do /query Anon7 [04:16] then type "hi" or something [04:16] and i'll be with you momentarily [04:17] MahaVishnu, well i did the xorg file, should i reboot and see what happens? [04:17] sajuukkhar, try sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [04:17] nhocht, fom disc utility [04:17] alright [04:18] Guest61105, edit /etc/default/grub and add the line GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1920x1080 [04:18] MahaVishnu, it doesn't work, apparently it doesn't exist [04:18] then do a sudo update-grub2 [04:19] Guest61105, actually I guess they changed it. #GRUB_GFXMODE=1360x768 change to ur resolution and uncomment it. [04:19] Is it possible to remove the file/directory "emblems" that I set in 10.10 and older versions? The emblems interface has been removed in 11.10, but the old emblems still remain. [04:20] ...I'd remove them but I can't since the feature has been dropped (but not dropped properly). [04:20] how can I remove banshee from sound menu? [04:21] I read this part of the article, but pretty confusing! https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoundMenu#Music_player_integration [04:23] MahaVishnu: where to see all posssible options? [04:23] Ubuntu 11.10 my background daemon for software updates seems to have failed. My Software center and my update checks are failing to launch. Any Pointers? [04:23] Guest61105, xrandr -q i'd guess. [04:24] This is definitively a fast moving chat [04:24] Ethek: go to the terminal and type: sudo apt-get update [04:24] MahaVishnu: no ... that belongs to X [04:24] tty doesn't belong to X [04:24] Ethek: report any errors === root is now known as Guest20604 [04:25] Some ppa's failed to load but the only error was E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. [04:26] so who else is looking forward to 12.4?

[04:30] Like Xchat? [04:30] I'm currently running ubuntu 11.10 on a asus laptop (asus k50ij) with intel sound card. Sound card plays sound, but when headphones are plugged int sound still comes trough the internal speakers, and headphones. I recently came from Fedora which had the same problem. I followed all howto's on forums with no luck. Anyone point me in right direction for ubuntu? [04:30] bluegoon, doesn't ubuntu use an internet time server to keep time ? [04:30] I have done some forums seraching and others have had same problem with asus [04:30] Does anyone here have experience installing Ubuntu on RAID??? [04:30] ugo == user,group,other [04:31] MahaVishnu, OK granted, just wanted to know if it would gobble up my 600MB cap on my 3G if I left it to run all day. [04:31] that reminds me of yugioh [04:31] bluegoon, just turn your net off then ? [04:31] milamber : yes Err http://ppa.launchpad.net oneiric/main amd64 Packages [04:31] 404 Not Found [04:32] MahaVishnu, apart from its tme service, what other services would use WAN traffic if Ubuntu is idling? [04:32] Ethek: did you manually add that source? [04:32] auto updates [04:32] Does anyone here have experience installing Ubuntu on RAID??? [04:32] yes [04:32] zHammeRz, are Auto Updates off by default? [04:32] its the only one erroring [04:32] bluegoon, dunno [04:32] Everene, What seems to be the problem with your raid install? [04:32] Ethek: ok, something is not working with that. do you know how to comment it out? [04:33] yes [04:33] Are Auto Updates off by default in Ubuntu 11.10? [04:33] grub doesnt seem to find out that i have a harddrive [04:33] ill do that [04:33] I don't think so, mine weren't. [04:33] Everene, Software or hardware raid [04:33] i dont think so either [04:33] eigba, Hardware [04:33] i think [04:33] zHammeRz, thanks, will check it out [04:34] Everene, what raid controller and raid level [04:34] bluegoon: you can check netstat -pone also.. to see what has outbound connections to inet ip's that you can't confirm [04:34] RAID 0 and ...... [04:35] Everene, So grub at least loads? [04:35] Ethek: ok, report back [04:35] Is it possible to remove the file/directory "emblems" that I set in 10.10 and older versions? The emblems interface has been removed in 11.10, but the old emblems that I set in previous versions still remain. [04:35] SolarisBoy, thanks dude [04:35] eigba, It will let me fully install ubuntu but grub FREAKS out when i boot up it goes strait to grub rescue [04:36] i have to choose to reboot without a bootloader in the Ubuntu Setup [04:36] eigba, It sounds like it's freaking about not finding a partition [04:36] Yes [04:37] please I need to know something .. does ubuntu sync packages with debian stable ?? when they are released ?? or just keep the unstable snapshot it had and wait for the next sync with next ubuntu release ?? [04:37] who [04:37] MahaVishnu, hey I restarted my computer and the Xorg took effect, nothing happened to change resolutions that i could do [04:37] Everene, I have only done an install on raid 1 (hardware) [04:38] Everene, I used to do them daily in the data center, and never once had a problem on ubuntu or centos [04:38] eigba, It should be the same.... did you have to do anything out of the ordinany [04:38] Everene, No just went into the raid card firmware and setup the raid, maybe you can try to go back into the raid firmware and delete the arrar and re set itup [04:38] Everene, then reinstall [04:39] sajuukkhar, I really am not sure what the problem is we should have corrected it. and VGA1 is really an HDMI output to a 1080 device then it should work.. [04:39] Hey all, I am having issues with 11.10 logging me out whenever I play a youtube video... any ideas? [04:39] eigba, PM [04:39] Everene, okay [04:40] MahaVishnu, hmm yeah I remember getting something to work with 10.10 [04:40] MahaVishnu, can you send that pastebin of the Xorg file again? [04:41] KFP, gvfs-set-attribute "$FILENAME" -t unset metadata::emblems [04:41] Has anyone tried to install Asus Web Storage (CLOUD) for Ubuntu 9.10 on Ubuntu 11.10? [04:42] . [04:42] Anyone have suggestion for my sound issue? Sound comes trough internal speakers, and headphones when they are plugged in. Asus k50ij laptop with intel sound card. I had same issue on fedora, and followed all howtos/suggestions on the forums. Now having same problem on Ubuntu 11.10. I have been on the forums and it seems others have had same problem [04:43] milamber : I commented the source out and it has corrected my issue. Not something that Ive seen happen before despite seeing 404 errors [04:43] thanks! [04:44] Ethek: no problem. if you need assistance with getting that (or any) ppa working feel free to stop back in [04:45] sajuukkhar, in your xrandr -q I see the 1920_1080 in the list. but the xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1920_1080_60.0 doesn't work? [04:46] MahaVishnu, ooh we didn't try that [04:46] hang on [04:46] MahaVishnu, nah that doesn'twork [04:46] If a bug pretty much only affects one or two people is it safe to say that it won't get fixed? [04:47] sajuukkhar, wow. it really should idk then man. [04:47] Has anyone else experienced a bug causing Ubuntu to log out when they try to play flash... like youtube? [04:48] Hi. I'm running 11.10. "vi" says it's vim, but there is no "vim" command. That seems a bit odd...? [04:48] MahaVishnu, perhaps we should start over? [04:48] I thought vi was generally symlinked to vim [04:48] will_, they're two different programs [04:49] perhaps vim isn't installed [04:49] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/898245 , https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/898253, https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/886449 these are the bugs that nobody is really responding to. I guess I'll have to wait for 12.04. I posted these bugs last month. One of them on November 5th. [04:49] Is a Celeron 2.8 Ghz a bit light in the pants for Ubuntu 11.10? [04:49] Launchpad bug 898245 in xorg (Ubuntu) "If PC shuts down incorrectly, Ubuntu doesn't work anymore" [Undecided,New] [04:49] Launchpad bug 898253 in file-roller (Ubuntu) "Archive Manager locks up entire PC when looking at an archive and trying to extract individual files" [Undecided,New] [04:49] Launchpad bug 886449 in pulseaudio (Ubuntu) "[USB-Audio - USB Camera-B4.04.27.1, recording] Pulseaudio fails to detect card" [Undecided,Confirmed] [04:49] sajuukkhar, you can repost the question but at this point I dont know the answer. [04:49] Anyone know where I can find the default oneiric sources list [04:49] will_: isn't vim_tiny installed by defaul in ubuntu? (or named something like that) [04:49] somsip: ah! ok. [04:50] MahaVishnu, like we go through the process again, maybe i stuffed up somewhere? [04:50] will_: thought it came as an additional package easy to install via apt [04:50] Is there any way to maybe compile Alsa from Source and fix the problem myself seeing as how nobody cares to work on it? [04:50] guys, quick question, is a Celeron 2.8Ghz too light for Ubuntu 11.10? [04:50] sajuukkhar, pastebin your xrandr -q again and the result when doing that command I just said. [04:50] will_, vim is vi IMproved, so vim is essentially vi, but extended, and Ubuntu comes with it installed by default. [04:51] c_smith: Yeah, I knew that, but usually "vim" is a valid command still. When I run vi, it says it's vim, but when I run "vim", it says I need to install it [04:51] johnnyzero: guess the cpu to be one of the least relevant parts [04:52] will_, I wouldn't worry too much about it, vim actually is more feature rich, and honestly, if it defaults to vim, there probably isn't a problem. [04:52] johnnyzero, i see responces to your last bug report, it has something to do with Playstation Eye Camera. [04:52] I've lost the transparency options for my xubuntu panels and screenlets. Does anyone have any ideas for what might have happened? It happened just after I logged into a xfce session and then tried to get a xubuntu session running again. [04:53] c_smith: Well, I'm having some "issues" that I'm trying to resolve. I normally run on CentOS servers, so trying to find out why the same things don't work [04:53] will_, you could try "which vim" in terminal if you really want to see if it's installed. [04:53] MahaVishnu, http://pastebin.com/wz5EQXTd in that order [04:53] c_smith: It's vim.tiny, that's installed, not "vim"... whatever that is :) [04:54] OerHeks, specifically with Ubuntu 11.10. There were no issues in 11.04 and 10.10. [04:54] will_, oh? then did you try running it with vim:tiny? [04:54] c_smith: That's what vi runs, vim-tiny [04:54] c_smith: think i remember vim to be installed explictely on earlier ubuntu versions [04:54] c_smith: what is vim tiny anyhow [04:54] Though I am assuming that since 12.04 is an LTS release they are probably maybe trying to iron out all the bugs they can and package it into Pangolin. [04:55] is there any way to pass a string to a bash function then print each character in the string individually? [04:55] Yeah, installing the vim package "fixed" everything. Thanks all! [04:55] tenX_, that's in old versions, since a certain release (before I started using Ubuntu) vim was included by default,) and vim:tiny I'm guessing is a lighter weight version of vim. [04:56] johnnyzero, best thing to do is join #Ubuntu+1 the place to be for pangolin [04:56] Hmm good idea OerHeks. Maybe I can ensure that by April my devices will work again and the bugs will be ironed out. Thanks :) [04:56] c_smith: thank you for that short info. remembered to install it on many servers earlier [04:57] Currently, I'm using Ocelot [04:57] tenX_, no prob [04:57] I've lost the transparency options for my xubuntu panels and screenlets. Does anyone have any ideas for what might have happened? It happened just after I logged into a xfce session and then tried to get a xubuntu session running again. [04:57] c_smith: wasnt sure about more up to date versions [04:58] please I need to know something .. does ubuntu sync packages with debian stable ?? when they are released ?? or just keep the unstable snapshot it had and wait for the next sync with next ubuntu release ?? [04:58] tenX_, well, now you know [04:58] sajuukkhar, since you rebooted I think you need to do. cvt 1920 1080 then edit. xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_60.00" 173.00 1920 2048 2248 2576 1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync [[WITH YOUR INFO FROM CVT]] then do the xrandr --addmode VGA1 1920x1080_60.00 then xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1920x1080_60.0 [04:58] Does anyone know if it i spossible to use two AMD graphics cards on an Ubuntu system? [04:59] Ahhh! Someone please help! I beg of you! Ubuntu 11.10 keeps logging me out randomly.... that's three times in the last ten minutes!! [04:59] c_smith: need to get more outta this, increasing productivity level [04:59] dr3mro: this is more of a tech support, someone in ubuntu+1 may have a better answer for you [04:59] What is XCFE or LXDE? [04:59] MahaVishnu, 'edit.' edit what? [04:59] bluegoon: they are different desktop environments [04:59] dr3mro: Ooh, it seems to work! :) Thankee. [05:00] milamber, Thank you [05:00] sajuukkhar, the --newmode command make sure those numbers match yours ( I think those were your numbers ) [05:00] MahaVishnu, okay :) [05:00] bluegoon: you can download them and run them with your regular ubuntu if you wish [05:01] milamber, Cool, thank you, think ill try that. [05:01] Anyone know if is it the gnome shell that allows for control panel transparency settings? [05:02] Does anyone have experience with Ubuntu on RAID? [05:03] MahaVishnu, hey it worked kinda :) [05:04] i got an error on the last command [05:04] so i manually changed it in the system settings > screen resolution (it showed up) and now the screen is a little to the left [05:06] Okay.. now that's 4 times I've been randomly logged off. :-( [05:06] sajuukkhar, what screen is to the left ? [05:07] .... if I don't click on anything or touch anything, maybe Ubuntu won't log me off... [05:07] hey guys is there any md5 sum for ubuntu at ubuntu official site [05:07] MahaVishnu, the VGA, tv [05:07] slugzzz_, flash problem you said ? [05:07] Not sure... [05:07] hi, how to uncompress/compress .pak files? (chrome theme) [05:07] sajuukkhar, is it 1920x1080 now ? [05:07] It logs me off when I try to view youtube videos pretty religiously. [05:07] MahaVishnu, I figure its because the LVDS isn't set either so im gonna follow what you said (yes its 1080p now just the screen cuts off at the left side) [05:08] Guys, What doe Chrooting mean? [05:08] slugzzz, lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark' [05:08] sajuukkhar, weird. it should be fine.. [05:08] MahaVishnu, oh what is the name of LVDS1? Is that right? [05:09] sajuukkhar, yea. I think so check xrandr -q [05:10] MahaVishnu, http://www.pasteall.org/27162 [05:10] Everene_, chroot changes the root directory [05:11] sigurg, Thank you very much [05:11] slugzzz_, hrm. is it a really old computer or something ? [05:12] No, it's a year old alienware [05:12] hi guys am running ubuntu 11.04 and was wondering if there was a fast way to change ip addresses within a static environment? [05:12] oooaaaooo, you can use /etc/network/interface file. [05:13] No, it's a year old alienware. [05:13] say i need to change from 192.168.0.27 to .26 within a press of a button, how would i do that [05:13] MahaVishnu, now im getting that same error again im gonna restart [05:13] sorry [05:13] didnt see the answer [05:13] slugzzz, but you are running a 32bit kernel ? [05:14] I should be running 64 bit, I take it. [05:14] slugzzz, I'd think so if it was a 1 year old alienware ...... what processor is in it? [05:14] i7 [05:15] slugzzz, why would you run an i7 on 32bit kernel ? [05:15] Because it was what was on the CD that I had burned. :p [05:15] That's probably the problem, eh? [05:15] slugzzz, yea upgrade to 64bit ;-P [05:15] slugzzz: its probably something in the pae kernel as i use 3.0.0-13-generic with no problems [05:15] yeah bra. [05:15] slugzzz: but i am x86_64 [05:16] Is there anyway that I can upgrade to 64bit without reinstalling? [05:16] Anyone willing to help meh? [05:16] I also run that kernel on 64 with 0 problems [05:16] flash related that is. [05:16] anyone know how to run ./configure from a usb key to nuke a windows ntfs drive for reinstall? [05:16] MahaVishnu: so basically I change the ip there save it and thats it? [05:17] Anyone wish to help me? [05:17] anyone know gnu parted 3.0 [05:17] anyone know gnu parted 3.0? [05:17] oooaaaooo, no. first you do a sudo ifdown eth0 to bring interface down. edit the file then do a sudo ifup eth0 to bring it up with new address, you could write a small script to do it all in one command. [05:18] Everene_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroot [05:18] lol i know that [05:18] Everene_: so why " Everene_> Anyone wish to help me?" [05:18] MahaVishnu: yup thanks [05:18] ok so if I have a 64 bit system, with the 64 bit driver for my graphics card, I can't use Wine to play games? [05:18] anyone know a chatroom for gnu parted 3.0? [05:19] ... but how can I run amd64 on an intel machine? [05:19] slugzzz, it is for 64bit not just amd. [05:19] MahaVishnu, I did the xrandr --addmode VGA1 1280x1024_60.00 then it gives me this X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) [05:19] Major opcode of failed request: 150 (RANDR) [05:19] Minor opcode of failed request: 18 (RRAddOutputMode) [05:19] they call it amd64 cause amd came out with 64bit first. [05:20] MahaVishnu: i looked into the current contents of the file and all it shows are "auto lo [05:20] iface lo inet loopback [05:20] " [05:20] MahaVishnu: what does that mean? [05:20] oooaaaooo, google /etc/network/interfaces static ip [05:20] Hmm... the download on the Ubuntu site says amd64 [05:20] MahaVishnu: I don't think they came out with it first, but they came out with the "better" one :) [05:20] oooaaaooo, you need to specify your settings in the file [05:20] slugzzz: yea the name is kinda deceptive but amd64 is the 64 bit version [05:20] slugzzz, it doesn't matter if it says amd, it is both amd and intel [05:20] exit [05:21] heterogenerate, linux and windows generally with build and delete partitions with auto and manual installs [05:21] quit [05:21] MahaVishnu: no i mean, i already have settings, so why arent they showing up there? [05:21] oooaaaooo, cause they are probably for network-manager [05:21] Grrr... okay.. that makes a lot of sense... and actually makes my life a hell of a lot easier.... [05:21] Thanks all. [05:22] MahaVishnu: so i need to edit network manager? [05:22] oooaaaooo, you can uninstall it if you are gonna use the file to manage your net [05:22] no you dont need to edit network manager [05:23] MahaVishnu: ok ill have to think about this , thanks for the help [05:29] Hello all, I lost transparency options for my panels and screenlets in the xubuntu environment. Does anyone have an idea why this would happen? [05:29] hi all, how can i resize the / lvm partition? [05:33] hi, how do I make a package from a source? [05:34] Hello, Does anyone know how to remove the last page of a PDF via terminal commands? or a script? [05:35] hello? [05:35] hello ecotrump [05:36] good to know its working, thx Polar [05:36] Np. Sometimes it just takes time to get a response :) [05:36] hi I want to download libXau.so.6 from terminal. what is the command ? thanks. [05:37] I'm trying to find out why I have no transparency settings available for my windows settings and control panel. I'm on Xubuntu. What could have made the transparencies unavailable? [05:37] hello, is there any handy way to sync notes, contacts, memos and calendar from Evolution to android phone? [05:37] vijvij, try locate libXau.so.6 [05:38] MahaVishnu : No such file or directory... I think I need to populte my locatedb.. what was the command for that? [05:39] vijvij, updatedb [05:40] nardev: googled and found... google! http://scottlinux.com/2010/07/10/sync-google-calendar-and-contacts-in-evolution/ [05:40] MahaVishnu : did 'updatedb' followed by 'locate libXau.so.6' ..... gave nothing [05:40] CarlFK, :( thnx sorry [05:40] i'll look that [05:40] @nardev thats probably the best bet :) [05:40] vijvij, you need to install whatever package provides it then i'd guess. [05:41] :( i'm trying to avoid google cloud polardude1983 CarlFK [05:41] MahaVishnu : yes... I need to .. I don't know the command for that.. Pretty new to linux. Thanks for helping me ouyt [05:42] @nardev What I am seeing is two things SyncML and SyncEvolution [05:42] nardev: android is a platform/os - that alone doesn't have any sort of contact list. so you need an app to manage that data, and the default is the apps that use google [05:42] vijvij, sudo apt-get install libxau6 libxau-dev [05:43] Maha Vishnu. let me try that. thanks.. One more question what if i don't want to install but just download the so file... Is that possible? [05:43] CarlFK, i understand that, so infect, i'm looking for two sided solution :( [05:43] @nardev try looking at this http://op-co.de/blog/posts/egroupware_syncml/ [05:44] polardude1983, i'll investigate that thnx [05:44] vijvij, uhh idk you can probably get the .so file somewhere off the net... [05:45] MahaVishnu : thanks :) [05:45] hello I cannot hear any sound on ubuntu 11.10 how can I do to hear sound? [05:45] maum, is your volume on mute? [05:45] I am having a problem when doing a ./configure ...I get this error "checking for KDE:......configure error" I need kde headers, im using ubuntu 11.10, by the way Im trying to install apollon from source [05:45] polardude1983, no [05:46] maum: Are the speakers turned on? [05:46] maum, was it working before? [05:46] maum, did you have sound at an earlier time? [05:46] no this is the first time and I installed ubuntu 11.10 and installed new hardware [05:47] did you install additional drivers? [05:47] I installed nvidia driver [05:48] anybody know how to remove the last page of a pdf with a script? [05:49] I installed hdmi monitor + dvi monitor [05:49] and I want to use hdmi sound but the original sound is also not working. [05:49] I don't know why [05:49] maum, are you using 64bit 11.10? [05:50] polardude1983, 32bit [05:50] hey there [05:51] I'm moving from Debian 6 to Ubuntu 10.04LTS, and I wanted to ask you guys if there are any repositories where I can find newer versions of PHP and such [05:51] Like PHP-FPM, Nginx, and so fort [05:51] dark|angel: if you use 10.04 you are fixed to whateve rpackages are offerd by 10.04 unless you install manaully [05:52] somsip ok [05:52] somsip thx [05:52] maum, you did a clean install of ubuntu 11.10 or an upgrade? Just wanting to be clear [05:52] hey guys how do i add my .list file to a folder that is root? [05:52] somsip it's not like there was anything for Debian either, except for DotDeb [05:53] Does anyone know why I would have lost transparency support and gained two more workspaces in Xununtu? Does anyone know what program would be controlling these features in Xubuntu? [05:53] polardude1983, clean installed [05:53] apparently i do not have actcess to it? [05:54] dark|angel: When I have looked at repos for older version I've been surprised how out of date they can be. Only example is Firefox is still 3.6 (from memory) in 10.04, but I'm on 8 with 11.10 [05:54] polardude1983, internal audio is now working [05:54] Sid_injector, are you accessing the folder through a terminal cmd or through the GUI? [05:54] maum, what happened to get it to work? [05:54] oh sorry guys im using ubuntu [05:55] polardude1983, I changed output device [05:55] I think you might need to get to the folder through a 'sudo' command in the terminal to gain permissions to change it. [05:55] polardude1983, and I want to use hdmi output [05:55] Does anyone know how long it should take to reinstall GRUB? Mine runs for about 1 hour, then I lose patience and reboot it. Perhaps I should wait longer? [05:55] dark|angel, i see Nginx ppa in this list http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppas but be carefull with ppa's , PHP-FPM http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-nginx-with-php-5.3-and-php-fpm-on-ubuntu-lucid-lynx-10.04-without-compiling-anything [05:56] i have ff 8 with 10.10 ppa goodness :p [05:56] maum, im not sure what to say to help you get your HDMI sound working. [05:56] is your monitor on mute, not just the computer? [05:56] ;) [05:56] thanks allot [05:57] gui [05:57] polardude1983, there is two output device ( internal audio analog stereo, hdmi stereo) but hdmi sound is not working [05:58] Sid_injector, yeah I would bet you need to access the folder through the terminal to gain permissions... not exactly sure how it's done though. Ima n00b [05:58] im using the gui @ecotrump [05:59] maum, sorry I do not know the answer. All I can say is it might have something to do with PulseAudio or maybe try installing Alsa and uninstall Pulseaudio. [05:59] trying to paste a file in my usr/share/program folder and it's not letting, permissions say i'm not the owner but i'm the only user [05:59] ah ok thanks ecotrump i'll go to the ubantu site then and look how to move files to other directorys [05:59] Does Ubutu 11.10 have good hardware accelerated flash support? [05:59] *Ubuntu [05:59] yes [06:00] np Sid_injector [06:00] jeremy3d, sudo cp bla/bla/bla/file bla/bla/bla you have to copy as root [06:00] polardude1983, ok thank you [06:00] b/c I am using ubuntu 11.10 and mplayer has vdpau support it seams, but flash video bogs the system down big time. [06:00] any suggestion? [06:00] maum: don't see various 'profiles' associated with the hdmi? [06:00] go to adobe to downlad the flash player [06:01] ty [06:01] Does anyone know why I would have lost transparency support and gained two more workspaces in Xununtu? Does anyone know what program would be controlling these features in Xubuntu? [06:01] polardude1983, ty [06:01] maum, whats the problem.. ? [06:01] almoxarife, what? I don't understand exactly [06:01] haha: So which version do I download from their site? I should use it and not the flash-installer that ships with Ubuntu? [06:01] maybe the internet is delay [06:01] I can hear internal sound but hdmi sound is not working I want to use this [06:02] there is two sound card in sound panel. [06:03] maum: hdmi is the hardware setting, there are various 'profile's associated with it, yes? [06:03] internal card is working but hdmi [06:03] which kernel package is recomended for VPS server with Ubuntu 10.04LTS? [06:03] almoxarife, profile? where can I check it? [06:03] choise the frist [06:03] i'm trying to restore a folder to a location which already contains the files. i want to overwrite files which have changed and leave the ones which have not. currently --force appears to be required and then it overwrites everything and not just the files which have changed. anybody have an idea on how to do this? [06:03] maum: sound preferences [06:04] which kernel package is recomended for VPS server with Ubuntu 10.04LTS? [06:04] top right [06:04] almoxarife, yes there are various 'profile's in it [06:04] xio23: without knowing what you are using, how about renaming the existing file, restoring the other one, then cp -R * from the renamed one to the restored one? [06:04] almoxarife, I selected Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output [06:04] s/file/folder [06:05] dark|angel: the latest one [06:05] maum: how many? [06:05] almoxarife, 8 including Off [06:05] ejv I get a gazilion variations, anything from backported 3 kernels to virtual, server and generic [06:05] dark|angel: if you're using LTS it should default to server [06:05] somsip: i am using rdiff-backup [06:06] dark|angel: i'm assuming you're rolling ubuntu server 10.04 lts [06:06] someone know how to backup my system [06:06] maum: one of them will work, you need to go thru them all, and it requires a logout/in to get it right [06:06] ejv yes, I got a VPS [06:07] yes haha, plenty of people here know how to back stuff up [06:07] Ah, if I'm on a 64 bit machine and using a wrapper, I need to also download the 32 bit vdpau libraries, correct? [06:07] almoxarife , do you know how to backup [06:07] almoxarife, should I try it all? ok [06:07] somsip: didn't follow your suggestion quite although i think what you are saying would have me restore files that haven't changed. i'm trying to avoid restoring files that haven't changed as it takes longer to do it that way. [06:07] xio23: no experience of that, but the principle is the same, yes? You may need another param for 'cp' to make sure older files don't overwrite newer ones. [06:07] !backup > haha [06:07] haha, please see my private message [06:07] maum: yes [06:07] !backup [06:07] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [06:07] haha: what version? [06:08] since when does version have anything to do with backing up files almoxarife :P [06:08] xio23: or...rename current folder, restore backup folder, cp -R backup/* renamed/; rm -rf backup; mv renamed backup....sort of thing [06:09] haha, there's a lot of very nice command line tools to backup files, cp, scp, rsync, tar, etc. [06:09] ejv: since there are more than one package and there are some already installed depending on the version, like 11.10, already has backup. since you asked [06:09] or if you're gui dependent, stick in a usb stick, copy, and paste. [06:09] almoxarife, thank you I think I found it the number 2 output is working [06:09] somsip: i think you might not be following what i'm trying to do. if i restore then delete it is going to be restoring all files. which is what i'm trying to avoid. [06:09] ejv ,cp? [06:09] maum: mine was 4, cool [06:09] xio23: k [06:09] almoxarife, thanks [06:10] 11.10 has a backup "wizard" you mean almoxarife ? [06:10] somsip: you might have given me some ideas though [06:10] almoxarife, you are genious [06:10] haha yes, cp [06:10] maum: no, I installed hdmi the hard way also [06:10] haha, ask questions here, don't PM me [06:10] xio23: there maybe some options for cp that will help, but I'll leave it with you [06:11] haha, man cp, cp --help, google, etc. [06:11] i forgot to add prayer to that list, oh well [06:11] ejv: 11.10 has backup already, just need to be started [06:11] ejv the default VPS template for Ubuntu comes with linux-ec2 kernel installed [06:11] oh ,i see [06:11] ejc isn't ec2 amazon's elastic computing platform? [06:12] hi [06:12] likely an image prepped by your datacenter, go ahead and use it, it's probably fine [06:12] almoxarife: so a wizard? :) [06:12] ejc well, they allow me to change it or upgrade it. I'm just wondering to what... [06:12] almoxarife , i will have a try [06:12] ejv: ?? [06:13] what is your native language almoxarife [06:13] !info wizard [06:13] Package wizard does not exist in oneiric [06:13] ejv: tmi [06:13] almoxarife: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wizard_(software) [06:14] Can someone recommend a calendaring application compatible with KDE and scriptable, preferably in ruby? [06:14] cal ;) [06:14] are the cool kids not calling guided software wizards anymore... lol [06:14] ejv: here is what I know, backup has a 'settings' and 'execute' gui [06:15] ahhh [06:15] hello xD [06:15] deja dup? [06:15] ejv: you get the star [06:16] well as far as i can tell from my googling, it looks like a pretty weak tool [06:16] wouldn't be surprised if rsync is underneath it [06:16] ejv: as far as I can tell from my constant use, works pretty darn well, but that's only because I depend on it [06:17] cool, glad ubuntu has people adding software like that [06:17] so it appeals to the more mainstream people [06:17] !info snob-ware [06:17] Package snob-ware does not exist in oneiric [06:17] !info duplicity [06:17] duplicity (source: duplicity): encrypted bandwidth-efficient backup.

[06:21] kimp: How did you try to re-install grub? [06:22] so i created a raid array. in fstab i specified the options auto,noexec,rw,users. then once i mounted it i changed the group of the mount point to a group with 2 users in it [06:22] ecotrump, did you uninstall compiz in xubuntu? [06:22] ecotrump: was there a particular reason you installed 'xubuntu? [06:22] but i can't seem to cd in or ls [06:22] oh the permissions are set to 777 now [06:23] so even ifi wasn't in the group it should be accessible [06:23] any ideas?

[06:24] I was running Xubuntu fine; I tried a Xfce session to try it out but after relogging into Xubuntu, I lost all transparency [06:24] I haven't uninstalled anything yet [06:25] djdduty: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download [06:25] totesmuhgoats: which one on the list? [06:25] they all look the same to me =/ [06:25] djdduty: what kind of processor? [06:25] intel [06:25] and I beleive it has 64 bit support [06:25] allthough I am running 32 bit windows [06:26] djdduty: core i something or core 2 something? [06:26] the one that says amd64 [06:26] teste [06:26] but, isn't that only amd cpu support? [06:27] djdduty: nope [06:27] I thought thats why it said amd64... [06:27] Jordan_U I created a Boot Repair disk [06:27] weird [06:27] ok, well thanks! [06:27] djdduty: the intel 64 bit architecture is for servers [06:27] the desktop computers with intel 64 bit chips use amd64 [06:27] polardude1983, i don't have compiz installed, i don't think [06:27] so ubuntu-server-11.10-amd64.iso.torrent? [06:27] or sometimes its called x86~64 [06:28] djdduty: if you want the server edition, yes [06:28] Polardude1983, I don't remember uninstalling anythying [06:28] totesmuhgoats: I do [06:28] totesmuhgoats: thank you very much [06:28] how to check account for USB3g on ubuntu? [06:28] then that's the one [06:28] I need to redirect port 9016 to port 80. How might I go about doing this? [06:28] kimp: Can you be more specific and detailed? [06:29] ecotrump, well when you said should i reinstall compiz. it means that it was uninstalled somewhere. Which is why i asked did you uninstall it [06:29] so any idea about my mount question? === root is now known as Guest23365 [06:30] kimp: If you're still having problems that is. [06:30] polardude1983, sorry about that. I had the option for transparency after I first installed xubuntu, but now it's gone. sorry for the confusion [06:30] Jordan_U I followed the ubuntu instructions to download Boot Repair iso from sourceforge. Booted from CD and let it interrogate my system. Selected the 'Recommended Repairs' option. It runs for a while then gets stuck... [06:30] ecotrump, just trying to figure out why you lost it. THat is all :) [06:33] kimp: Follow these instructions instead: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot [06:34] ecotrump, maybe this can provide a solution to the transparency? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=467296 [06:35] polardude1983, I will check it out === Timic_ is now known as Timic [06:35] oh my god ! i have already restarted my notebook , my ubuntu 11.10 desktop don't have the backup [06:35] Jordan_U - I just tried reinstall Ubuntu but it to hangs! Do you still think I should try the chroot option? [06:36] kimp: Where did it hang? [06:36] It asked me if I wanted to connect to a wireless network. I said no, but it's stuck on that screen... [06:36] Message above was for Jordan_U [06:37] kimp: Are you using the Live or alternate CD? [06:37] Gogle [06:38] I'm just using the Ubuntu Installation download cd [06:38] hello [06:38] i need an info.

[06:39] i want to send mail from my own SMTP server [06:39] plz anyone help [06:40] abhi_: directly? [06:40] Polardude1983, Got it, that thread got me in the right direction. In Xubuntu 11.10 I had to go to Settings Manager>Window Manager Tweaks>Compositor then recheck the bow 'Enable display compositing'. I think it may have gotten unchecked when I logged into an Xfce session for some reason. Thanks for the help. [06:40] Jordan_U, I had 3 partitions before I installed Ubuntu. From what I saw in the GRUB Rescue, I think I now have 5. Should the install create 2 partitions? And does it know that only one can be primary? [06:40] ecotrump, glad i helped [06:40] tenX: yes, from command line or mail client like thunderbird [06:40] ecotrump, althought it was a very short thread lol [06:41] tenX:like- mail from: abhi@localhost [06:41] Do I update the kernel through ubuntu package update by using the image ? [06:41] tenX: rcpt to: name@gmail.com [06:41] abhi_: command line based? [06:42] kimp: Yes (root filesystem and swap) and yes (it will have created an extended partition and made logical partitions within that for root and swap). [06:42] I set up my raid1 system on install with the console GUI. I then laterd installed xubuntu-desktop it now change my mdadm.conf should I just use the old one? heres the old one http://pastebin.com/kMHiZEyQ and the new one http://pastebin.com/dLyi29hz [06:42] kimp: Can you post a screenshot of where it's hung? [06:42] !screenshot | kimp [06:42] kimp: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it. [06:43] Jordan_U, ubottu - I just rebooted it. I can try again, however not sure how I will be able to get screen shot of the machine? [06:44] what is a really good virtualization software for ubuntu that's free? [06:44] djdduty: virtualbox, kvm. [06:44] virtualbox [06:44] hi ,ubottu . i restart my computer ,but i can't find the backup option [06:44] djdduty, can't beat virtualbox [06:45] alright well, thank you very much yet again [06:45] kimp: If you choose "Try Ubuntu before installing" (or something similar) then you can run other applications in addition to the installer (which will be an icon on the Desktop). [06:45] I found virtualbox caused problems with 64bit guests on a HP laptop host (with HW virtualisation). Apart from that, it's great. Better than VM Ware... [06:45] djdduty, I really like virtaualbox too. Im actually running a windows xp guest and a windows 7 guest now :) [06:46] @kimp was it a 32bit host [06:46] I just need to run my windows 7 as a vm [06:46] dodo3773 was a 32 bit host [06:46] kimp - that makes sense [06:46] So [06:46] @kimp same problems in linux [06:47] I have not had any problems at all with a 64-bit guest on a 64-bit host [06:47] How do I connect to a different irc server? not a channel. [06:47] @quaydon what about a 64 guest in a 32 host [06:47] maybe you try to use the 32 bit ubuntu [06:47] . /server or /connect i think [06:48] dodo3773, I don't think I have tried that. [06:48] ok, for my ubuntu server, virtual box or kvm? [06:48] for servers which is better? [06:48] maybe kvm [06:48] quaydon I think that is what the op was saying [06:49] I did a full install of an Ubuntu 10.04 distro to a 16g flash drive, but the boot menu showed my hard drive on the first boot-up. Now I just get the grub> menu. Is there a way to fix my flash drive and make it bootable again? [06:49] It only booted properly once, and now doesn't boot [06:49] @kimp just run 32bit guest [06:50] hi, with ubuntu 11.10 and gnome3, how to enable sound effects when I double click folders or press menu and moving the cursor along the dropdown list of a menu etc...? is that possible? thanks.

[06:59] I can't get to the location, and it's /home/vustom/Vustom/Mac/OS/iATKOS_L2/iATKOS_L2.iso [07:00] how to enable/play sound when I double click and open a folder in nautilus? [07:00] How do I mount an .ISO on Ubuntu? I need to do this then copy the contents onto a USB [07:01] Jordan_U, I can't save the image to a thumb drive. The system can see the thumb, but can't open it... Sames goes for all drives, actually, except for one called File System (which I suspect is the CD ROM?) [07:02] Vustom, simply use the file manager. nautilus. [07:02] Vustom, open the file manager. double click the iso file. [07:03] I did.. and I clicked Next but UNetBootin skipped extracting and copying the ISO [07:03] and went straight to installing the bootloader [07:03] so now I have to extract the ISO and paste it myself [07:03] I think [07:03] I'm knew to this :D [07:05] Vustom, sudo mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop file.iso a_folder/ [07:06] sgo11: I did this; /home/vustom/Vustom/Mac/OS/iATKOS_L2 (Look at step 5) [07:06] Would that work as well? [07:08] Vustom, sorry, I am not sure what you are trying to do. just replied your question how to mount a iso file. :) [07:08] Awh okay, I think I've figured it out anyways :) [07:09] One more question, when I try and copy something it says Filesystem does not support symbolic links? [07:10] Why does Banshee keep putting .mp4 files into the Music category? >_> [07:10] hey can any one tell me how to move a .list file i made to a folder in the file system using the terminal in ubuntu? [07:10] Vustom: you are copying across a network? [07:11] no just on my system [07:11] how can i use diff and only output the the difference for the lines which are different for one of the files... right now if two lines match you see the contents of that line for both files. [07:11] Hey, im running a small minece [07:11] Nope, I have an .ISO that I mounted near my /home file so that I can copy all the contents onto a USB, which is all on the same PC, but when I do so I get the message above :p [07:11] Minecraft server for me and my friends [07:12] And I was wondering, whats the lightest DE to use, to prevent lag? [07:12] Actually, nevermind that. How do I add pictures to an iPod in Banshee? [07:12] xio23: diff filepath/filename ?? [07:12] Sid_injector, you can simply use 'mv' command. [07:12] Im using xfce [07:12] I also try lxde [07:13] Is there anything else? [07:13] webrole: what [07:13] specify file along with diff command [07:14] I am getting buffer over flow when creating the mingwm10.dll [07:14] Ztag100: http://www.techradar.com/news/software/applications/5-of-the-best-lightweight-window-managers-for-linux-972570 and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems [07:14] i586-mingw32-gcc -B./ -shared -Wl,--image-base,0x6FBC0000 -Wl,--entry,_DllMainCRTStartup@12 mthr.o mthr_init.o mingwthrd.def -Lmingwex -o mingwm10.dll [07:14] ah ok sgoll do i need to use a symbol to target the file system for the move or can i just move the file to the folder i need to with out using any thing to define the file system? [07:14] Thabks [07:14] Sorry, on my tab right now [07:14] Is it possible I can copy all the contents of an .ISO to a USB without getting Filesystem does not support symbolic links? === tfilipczuk is now known as makaka [07:15] Vustom: do you know what a 'symbolic' link is? [07:15] nope :) [07:16] Vustom: you familiar with 'windows'? [07:16] yes, i have it :) [07:17] Whats windows? Never heard of it before.. :P [07:17] Sid_injector, you can use 'tab' button to complete a nickname. my nick is sgo11, but not sgoll. :) anyway. command: mv [07:17] What if I did this; sudo modprobe hfsplus && sudo mount -t hfsplus -o loop /home/vustom/Vustom/Mac/OS/iATKOS_L2/iATKOS_L2.iso /media/Mac [07:18] Would this work? [07:18] Vustom: think of it this way, you are trying to copy a 'shortcut' and not the actual 'file/folder' [07:18] Sid_injector, mv [07:18] ... [07:18] Mhmm [07:18] Where do I find this folder/file? [07:18] I'll explain what I'm trying to do [07:18] Sid_injector, eg: mv /home/user/*.mp3 /home/user/Musics/ [07:19] I have a USB storage device, and a .ISO file near my home directory, I'm wanting to extract the contents of this .ISO and copy all of it into my USB storage device. [07:20] Vustom: mount and copy? [07:20] Sid_injector, '.' is current directory. '..' is parent directory. eg: mv ../*.jpg . [07:20] Which is lighter LXDE or xFCE? [07:20] I have them both installed already [07:20] Yes, that's what I'm trying to do, I've mounted it near a folder in my home, but when copying it to the USB it says about the Symbolic link problem [07:21] anyone know where can I enable all the sound effects? currently, there is no sound play when I open directory in nautilus etc.... thanks. [07:21] Vustom: lets assume you have an iso file, and lets assume you want it on a usb, then it's a matter of copying it, to the usb, when you bring up 'symbolic' link I infer you don't have the two things you initially need to accomplish what you are trying to do [07:21] o [07:21] But I do have both of them, so what's wrong? ._. [07:21] @sgoll ok so then there is no command definition for the file system? [07:21] Vustom: wth does 'mount' iso near home mean? [07:21] i can just add the path then right? [07:22] Sid_injector, sorry, I don't understand your question. [07:22] oo.. [07:22] Sid_injector, and please, my nickname is sgo11 . not ll..

I thought you asked to see all the variable definition. 'export' command will show the list. to use them eg: $HOME is the same as ~. HOME will be shown in export command output. [07:32] cp -a ...

[07:44] kimp: when you installed ubuntu you wiped out MBR which was needed by windows, you need to fix windows first, with a rescue disk, google, repair MBR === rymate1234 is now known as rymate1234|away [07:45] hy guys, I apologize if I'm in the wrong place, but maybe someone might help... Love ubuntu, but now I installed 10.04, and connect to wifi using usb dongle => shipset rtl8187. It can connect to both wep/wpa, but althow signal is great dowload speed is really poor. Googled it and see that some people have the same problem, but no answer that would work for me was provided. Has anyone insight? [07:45] mrpink57 I resized an NTFS drive and removed a recovery partition in windows before installing ubuntu. checked that windows was still working fine before installing ubuntu, of course [07:45] yeah to fix windows you can use recovery /fixmbr [07:46] but you should rather get grub to work [07:46] hi folks. Is it okay to ask about zfs use in ubuntu in this channel, or elsewhere? [07:46] kimp: that recovery partition may have held the recovery disk info, a lot of manufactures do not ship a cd anymore. [07:46] mrpink57, yep, I know [07:47] mrpink57: those installations are screwed anyway [07:47] well he must have a windows rescue cd then? [07:47] I have a Windows Rescue CD but it thinks the boot is fine! [07:48] Where do I save scripts so that I can call them from any directory? [07:48] ...so that they can be called like any other command [07:48] I.E. ls , cd, mkdir, etc [07:48] kimp: does your cd include 'repair MBR'??? [07:48] kimp: well i'd give running grub some more tries [07:48] fixmbr should do it anyways [07:48] I want to write a BASH script to convert my FLAC files to MP3s [07:49] I have a question....does it really make much difference to use the 32 bit ubuntu on 64 or should you really use the distro made for your computer? [07:49] tenX, I tried GRUB many times. Even re-downloaded and cut a new disk. If Ubuntu LiveCD can't navigate the file system, I don't think Grub will be able to either... [07:49] after fixmbr you will need to reinstall grub. [07:49] mrpink57: yeah but that will prevent dual boot [07:49] and have that script be a part of my linux commands list [07:49] BernSamson: if you have a 64bit machine then use 64bit os, unless you don't want to use 1/2 the processing power [07:49] so that I only have to type "converttomp3 [Source:Path] [Dest:Path] [07:50] tenX: at first it will, but once you reinstall grub it wont. [07:50] and the script that I wrote will be called [07:50] kimp: hmm all those tries ended up the same? [07:50] thank you Alomax [07:50] Haematoma: it's usual to create local/bin in your home directory and put them in there. then you'd add ~/local/bin to your path in .bashrc [07:50] my media players don't work [07:50] tenX, yep [07:50] somsip, thank you so much! [07:50] almoxarife, no repair MBR [07:50] mrpink57: of course. but why reconstruct windows only if dual boot is your intention [07:51] almoxarife: would that explain why I'm not able to run Unity 3d? [07:51] kimp: does the grub menu show up at boot? [07:51] hm, kubuntu 11.10, dvd drive not detect cd/dvd discs, eject works, system detect dvd.. http://pastebin.com/4p45EghH any ideas? [07:52] tenX: the definition of insanity is doing the same thing again and again and expecting the same results. its worth a try to fix the windows mbr then reinstall grub. [07:52] tenX, no. Just drops straight to the rescue. I looked around and found lots of Grub files, but not a grub config. Same problem - nothing can write to the filesystem [07:52] BernSamson: not sure, unity3d depends on the video drivers being there, still, if we are talking a fresh install, do the 64bit and 'alternate' iso , not the 'desktop' [07:52] kimp: have you tried TAB? (think thats the hotkey) [07:52] Getting windows running is my main priority. I have given up on the ubuntu install for now [07:52] what is the best way to get a socks proxy via ssh running at boot? [07:53] mrpink57: insanity is an acceptable consequence [07:53] almoxarife: I'm having difficulty updating my vid drivers...keep getting an Authorization Denied error [07:53] tenX, just tried tab and shift. Same result, i.e. rescue prompt [07:53] BernSamson: and be connected to the internet via ethernet === Crash is now known as Guest51235 [07:53] kimp: so focing a fixmbr should kick windows to boot === Guest51235 is now known as Crash-O-D [07:54] kimp: hmm okay. so you only want windows back for now? [07:54] somsip, do you know of a more formal name for the thing which I am attempting to do? I am looking for documentation on how to do so [07:54] yep, windows for now. Am readin up on fixing mbr [07:54] BernSamson: denied? what version? where do you get that output? [07:54] somsip, that would be adding a script as a command [07:54] kimp: yeah that should work [07:55] I got that from the update manager [07:55] kimp: is it win7? [07:56] tenX, yes, Win 7 [07:56] kimp: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/bootcons_fixmbr.mspx?mfr=true [07:56] BernSamson: switching from 32 to 64 is not an option on update manager, and your error I am not familiar with [07:56] Haematoma: http://www.linuxheadquarters.com/howto/basic/path.shtml and https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/3199 may help [07:56] maybe you can repair it via f8 [07:57] kimp: if thats so, it'd be nice to let me know [07:57] kimp: d'oh ;) cant work if windows isnt even booting [07:57] almoxarife: I went to Additional Drivers...it offers a post release and a regular release...I click activate...and it tells me Permission is denied [07:58] almoxarife: I understand that I cannot 'update' to 64 bit OS... [07:58] BernSamson: additional drivers needs admin permission, and its not getting it, your system sounds crippled [07:59] I give it admin permissions [07:59] does it matter if its on a dual boot? [07:59] BernSamson: should not [08:00] BernSamson: if you got dual boot, here is a option, use the win partion as a backup, save your home folder, then re-install a 64bit on the ubuntu partion??? [08:01] redoing the vid card driver activation just to see if I get the same error [08:01] almoxarife: if /home is a separate partition and not all in one you should not need to do anything. [08:01] Hi, I use IBUS to type Chinese in gnome-shell. The ibus keyboardlike icon changes into a picture with a crossed out red circle when in pinyin mode. It should be a blue character like in GNOME2. I have tried several icon themes, including Gnome, elementary, Mint-X. Any ideas? [08:02] what the...it finally allowed the update! [08:04] Ok, so there is no fixmbr on my CD, or the windows directory or subdirectories! [08:04] mrpink57: true, I must be the only person not do have done that, now I see how its useful, I guess next time [08:05] hellow world [08:05] woudl you know how to make the Ubuntu mount the NFS share at boot ? 192.168.10.15:/share /share defaults,auto 0 0 ? [08:08] woudl you know how to make the Ubuntu mount the NFS share at boot ? 192.168.10.15:/share /share defaults,auto 0 0 ? [08:08] hm i had a problem with mc and sftp with it, when i connect to server it say me that cannot change dir and then drop the session, is there some way to fix it? [08:12] almoxarife: thanks for whatever magic ya did... [08:12] now if only I could smooth out my usb mouse [08:13] BernSamson: look at the mouse settings, increased sensitivity did the trick for me [08:14] I have sensitivity and accel maxed and it still operates like its frame rate is like...15 or something [08:15] BernSamson: kill it, get a new one [08:16] Good Morning! [08:16] Morgen lolol [08:16] Hi all, got my windows installation back! Used bootrec, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927392. Thanks for the assistance! [08:16] BernSamson: is it a plain or optical ? [08:16] optical [08:17] kimp: now you got what you need to continue with grub repair till the cows come in [08:17] greeting. i humbly requesting community help once again -.- [08:18] almoxarife, I was just going to buy a second laptop! Where would you go from here? [08:18] I ve made a bad mistake: I lost all my signatures for apt... It says sth like "Could not authorize packets..." Like when you add a deb source without added gpg keys... [08:18] How do I add the right keys in Ubuntu 11.10? I deleted the keyring folder... Dump I am ... [08:18] hullo fellow ubuntu users [08:19] gosh dang it... [08:19] kimp: if it'd 64bit, use 64bit, use the 'alternate' iso/disk and be connected to the internet via ethernet [08:19] clicked on the wrong button [08:20] Anyone an Idea to fix my key problem? [08:20] i have lenovo z570 laptop with uefi. i'm trying to install kubuntu 11.10 x86_64. after bios upgrade i'm able to install and launch kubuntu without problems, but i don't like standard partitioning because it doesn't respect 4k alignment. but when i install kubuntu with manual partitioning, it appears as 'ubuntu' in uefi menu, but wont boot [08:20] does anyone know here i can find good Boo tutorials? and example scripts? [08:21] i have bootable efi partition at the end of the drive. the difference that it started from 2048 sector instead of 34 as before [08:21] boo? [08:21] and i'm not sure what device for grub installation i should choose... /dev/sda ir /dev/sda1 where efi partition is [08:21] ir=or [08:21] W: GPG-Fehler: http://archive.canonical.com oneiric Release: Die folgenden Signaturen waren ungültig: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key [08:22] THat is what I get for all my repos? [08:22] its like a mix between JS and Ruby [08:22] [08:24] Does anyone know how to copy all files in a dir except for the last file? Like I want to copy files doc_01.pdf to doc_03.pdf but not doc_04.pdf [08:24] PPPPPPP: boo's homepage [08:26] polardude1983: define "last one" Do you mean by alphabetical order? [08:27] almoxarife, is this the right place to download from, http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download [08:27] somsip, like if i have files doc_01 to doc_04. I only want to copy the first three. or if i have files doc_01 to doc_07 i only want to copy the first 6 [08:28] polardude1983: when 'first three' are the first three when listed by alphabetical order? Or date order? [08:28] kimp: assuming it's a 64bit machine and you want the 11.10 http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.10/ubuntu-11.10-alternate-amd64.iso.torrent [08:28] somsip, alphabetical [08:28] polardude1983: you could do that with a gui very easily, or in a terminal using a one liner: cp $( ls | awk 'NR > 1 {print last} { last=$1 }' ) wher-ever/you/want/to/copy/them [08:29] polardude1983: try something along these lines: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4817313/bash-script-to-delete-all-but-n-files-when-sorted-alphabetically [08:29] almoxarife, it's an intel i7, an x86 chip. It can run Win 64, so should be able to run Ubuntu 64? [08:29] there you should tell ls what kind of order you want, if you want it to be different than normal ls order, and tell cp about -r and -i if you need them [08:30] kimp: if it can run win64 then it's a 64bit machine, so 64bit ubuntu is the logical choice [08:30] morning all [08:30] I'd like to restart metacity so I don't lose all my open applications, but really don't trust running it inside of a terminal window. What is the _correct_ way to do this? [08:31] kimp: amd64=64bit [08:31] somsip, thank you so much [08:31] crescendo: how about alt-f2 and metacity --replace [08:31] Vermind, does that properly "disown" the process? [08:32] polardude1983: np [08:32] can I access my windows partition from ubuntu thru WINE? [08:32] I don't trust that finnicky little window [08:32] BernSamson: sort of [08:32] hrm, that didn't correctly resolve my issue either. [08:32] BernSamson: first ubuntu needs 'sharing' turned on [08:32] crescendo: What's the issue? [08:33] I ask...because I have some MMOs that I like playing...but they are Windows based games... [08:33] BernSamson: you can access it my mounting it directly https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions [08:33] BernSamson: and access to the windows shares do not need wine [08:33] Vermind, artifacts hanging around when I drag a window, and unmaximizable windows [08:33] am getting this error: file not found : grub rescue> [08:34] so to run the games I don't need wine if I've set up sharing? [08:34] is not insecure mounting automatically windows partition? [08:34] BernSamson: if you are wanting to run windows executables on Linux you need wine or something very similar [08:34] BernSamson: you do need wine if the games are win [08:34] thanks almoxarife, VERY much appreciated! Downloading now... [08:34] ok...thats what I wanted to know [08:34] crescendo: Do you have the reduced resources mode on in metacity? [08:35] I networking question: In my routing table I have an entry 9.151... with a Gemnmask that its gateway is 0.0.0.0. Then I have an entry "0.0.0.0" with gateway 9.151.131.9. What happens when I try to connect to an IP on my local network? It seems like it forwards the IP package to the default gateway anyway?? [08:35] Vermind, I have not modified any metacity configs, no [08:35] kimp: insure you are connected to the internet on install via ethernet for best results [08:36] will do [08:36] crescendo: which ubuntu version is this? try using gconf-editor and navigating to apps/metacity/general and try toggling the reduced resources mode [08:36] hi [08:36] how to check account for USB3g on Ubuntu11.10? [08:38] almoxarife, one question - the file name AMD64 suggests that it's for an AMD chip, not an intel? [08:38] kimp: its not, intel or amd [08:38] great! [08:39] kimp: I have never understood the reason myself, someone does not want to give intel credit????? anyway, my lappy is intel and it matters not to it [08:41] the instruction set extension was developed by AMD, hence the name [08:41] kimp: there is one hitch, lets assume your lappy does not have 64bit virtualization, like mine, when you want to run 'virtual' software it will need to be 32bit, [08:41] wait...where did my gear go in the upper right? [08:41] anyone run into this error installing HH on ubuntu 10.04 ? {"/tmp/selfgz14418/hacketyhack-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.0.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" [08:41] intel only implemented it in their non-itanium designs afterwards [08:41] *hackety hack [08:42] how to check account for USB3g on Ubuntu11.10? [08:42] been googling, seems like it's a problem with different programs but haven't found a solution [08:42] how to restart the xserver? [08:42] almoxarife, it does have hw virtualisation support. Not sure that's an issue if I'm running dual boot? [08:42] kimp, no. Dual boot is not virtualization. [08:43] kimp: then if you choose to run virtual (virtualbox) either will work, 32 or 64 bit [08:43] nhocht: are you talking about a USB 3G modem? [08:44] can any one help me with this problem error: file not found. Grub rescue> i have booted live cd and tried some thing but no luck i have uploaded a pic http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=jhg460&s=5 if some on can help] [08:45] Maxy1982, better share link directly to the image: http://i44.tinypic.com/jhg460.jpg [08:46] ok [08:46] Maxy1982: are you on the machine you are trying to do grub stuff to? [08:46] yes [08:46] the machine was working perfect yesterday and this morning all of sudden this error apeard [08:46] i got 3 os in it [08:47] almoxarife: The little gear thing in the upper right isn't there...how do you get it back without a hard reboot? [08:47] Maxy1982: when the machine boots into ubuntu, no problems? [08:47] wich os? [08:47] jay12: try /join #hacketyhack (small channel) [08:47] BernSamson: gear? where? [08:47] where you shut down and similar stuffs [08:47] prince_jammys, yeah I'm there. no one seems to be around. lol [08:47] it does not boot the grub give me error: file not found. Grub rescue> [08:48] and cannot select non of the os [08:48] xserver, you know the window system that sits in tty7. what happens when it freezes and I want to restart it without doing in all the other processes? [08:48] almoxarife, I'm off for dinner while the download happens. Thanks again - you're a life saver! [08:48] BernSamson: does alt-f2 bring up a window? [08:48] kimp: glad to help [08:48] yes...brings up a dash [08:49] Maxy1982, do you have a live cd? you can run it and manage your grub, delete it if necesary [08:49] yap am in it at the moment [08:49] BernSamson: type 'r' and return [08:50] I don understand what is the relation to the pic [08:50] Maxy1982: then what about 'grub' are you trying to fix? [08:50] i tried grub and giving me command not found [08:51] Maxy1982: why did you want to do that? [08:51] ok, showed me some gearworks and a file named 'r' [08:51] what am I looking for? [08:51] BernSamson: you should have gotten a 'mini terminal' sort of thing [08:52] almoxarife: how can i fix it [08:52] Maxy1982: there is nothing to fix [08:52] I got a window that looked really close to Dash [08:52] Should I type 'r' in Terminal? [08:52] Maxy1982: stop trying to fix something that is not broke [08:53] BernSamson: sure, try that [08:53] makara: afaik, when that happens, you're screwed. [08:53] or broke it and then fix it [08:53] hey guys, how do i tell squid it is already behind a proxy and should use localhost:port [08:53] lol Peristyle [08:53] Maxy1982: what is the fixation with 'grub'? [08:54] The program 'r' is currently not installed. you can get it by typing sudo apt-get install littler [08:54] :p [08:54] BernSamson: nope, that's not it [08:54] prince_jammys: its out there, somewhere [08:54] makara: i have no idea how you'd kill X without killing X clients (gui progs). === bromont31 is now known as granby31 [08:56] ak5: try /join #skid [08:56] err, #squid [08:57] almoxarife: here is when i turn the laptop on it only gives me this http://tinypic.com/r/qxw4mg/5 [08:57] BernSamson: the 'r' thing may just be a gnome-shell option, not sure [08:57] when i setup my displays in the NVIDIA x Server Setting I attempt to save to X configuration file, it responds with You do not have adequate permission to open this file, any suggestion on how to fix this ? [08:57] almoxarife: sorry http://i44.tinypic.com/qxw4mg.jpg [08:57] more than likely it is...I'm running Unity shell [08:58] godofmischief: if it is trying to write to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, you'd need to run the prog as superuser, with sudo or gksudo. [08:58] I went to dashboard and typed 'r' and came up with restart...entered 'shu' and got shutdown manager [08:58] how do I set llvmpipe to be the default software rasterizer? (using oneiric and LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1) [08:58] godofmischief: gksudo if it is a gui prog. [08:59] prince_jammys, gksudo appname ? [08:59] godofmischief: yes, gksudo nvidia-blahblah [08:59] is it a gui program? [08:59] Maxy1982: the first pic showed a terminal within a desktop with a lot to do with installing grub, the last pic is a grub rescue screen, two different things, why? [08:59] prince_jammys, yes its the nvidia x server setting gui [09:00] godofmischief: nvidia-xconfig ? [09:00] anyway, gksudo should do. [09:01] everyday I'm learning more and more about linux and ubuntu [09:01] prince_jammys, thanks that atleast puts me in the correct direction now just have to figure out the command to launch the app === Nom-_ is now known as Nom- [09:01] and fully coming to grasp with the power it really puts in your hand [09:01] almoxarife: first pic is in a live cd trying to fix the grub second one is what i get when i turn the laptop on [09:01] godofmischief: how were you launching a moment ago? [09:01] there are things so awesome [09:02] prince_jammys, clicking on the nvidia x server settings icon through unity [09:02] godofmischief: i've lost track, but i think this app used to be called nvidia-xconfig. [09:02] i don't know how to check what progs the icons point to. [09:03] Maxy1982: on the live cd, isn't grub repair an option?, actual grub repair is not my forte [09:03] prince_jammys, posted a few errors when i did that, nvidia-xconfig that is, then it says it saved my config to xorg.conf though [09:03] prince_jammys: thanks you're right. it kills everything. ctrl-alt-backspace [09:03] prince_jammys, that may have done the trick [09:03] hello. what to use to fstab to mount the nfs share ? e.g. at boot ? 192.168.10.15:/share /share defaults,auto 0 0 ? [09:03] godofmischief: hopefully :) [09:04] almoxarife: ok forget the first pic how can i repair the problem in the second pic [09:04] !nfs | raptor67682 [09:04] raptor67682: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [09:04] Maxy1982: on the live cd, isn't grub repair an option?, actual grub repair is not my forte [09:06] almoxarife: on live cd i think it can be repaird but dont know how. anyway thanks [09:07] Maxy1982: someone here must be a grub repair guru, who? [09:09] sts vs lts if support isn't much of an issue and the server will likely be kept upgraded? do sts server edition provide much per release? will i be using up more space on the server in choosing sts? [09:09] indeed. I forgot nfs: so it would be 192.168.10.15:/share /share nfs defaults,auto 0 0 does that line work and boot at boot of PC? [09:11] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair ,- may help iunstead of grub repair [09:12] Maxy1982, u only have ubuntu as a os option installed?

I would like to access a community access point via my Wifi NIC and redistribute the connection via the Ethernet NIC to my Wifi router. Any suggestions or links on how to bridge the NICs would be highly appreciated :) Thanks. [09:21] Maxy, when you use windows does it show ubuntu as option? [09:22] Sorry on phone chatting so little harder then if on computer [09:23] Crash-O-D: no it wont show [09:23] hmm [09:23] :) === newellj79__ is now known as newellj79 [09:24] What helped me fix my issue was if you can get in windows. Find option how to make windows loader show ubuntu. If i dont use windows i get grub recovery also [09:25] Can you get into windows? [09:25] i cannot get in non of the os [09:25] video cards help [09:25] only thing i can see is ERROR: File not Found [09:25] You got you windows 7 disk?

[09:31] mm not sure [09:31] my motherboard is made by ASUS and I was thinking maybe I should go with an asus 3650 video that i been eyeing [09:31] can i find out from Live cd if its installed [09:32] Maxy1982: nevermind, you would know if it had been a 'wubi' install, you installed to a partion, yes? [09:32] but I researched the suppported hardware for ubuntu link and nothing saids about the Ati Radeon 3650 [09:32] almoxarife: yes [09:33] Maxy1982: not wubi then [09:33] every os its own partition [09:34] Maxy1982: have you looked at the link http://sourceforge.net/p/boot-repair/home/Home/ ???? looks promising [09:34] i'll give it a try [09:34] anyone know how to edit the right click context menu listings [09:34] for a file [09:34] i followed some tut on google but non help i will try this [09:35] like when you right click a text file shows apps to open that with [09:36] Folklore: in properties don't you see 'open with' ?? or something close to it?? [09:37] I was beat to it lol [09:37] Good night [09:37] I want to add something to the right click menu [09:37] when you right click a file [09:38] anyone know where those settings are stored [09:38] Folklore: you want to add a app that is not shown? [09:39] yes [09:39] Folklore: and the app is already installed? [09:40] it's just a elf binary [09:40] A search on the ubuntu launchpad forum I found this as the best result http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1103908 [09:40] not intsalled anywhere, just in a folder [09:40] they changed the launchpad forum the last time i visited [09:41] no more discussion topics listed === Crash-O-D is now known as Crash_O-D_AFP [09:42] Hi [09:43] Folklore: I had sort of the same issue come up, and I never got very far, the mime type for the txt file needs to be added to the app, but unlike the older versions there isn't a place to do it easily that I found, I tried thru konqueror thinking that it would work, it does not in a gnome session though, know what I mean? [09:43] Is anyone running ubuntu on a i3 2120 with the on-chip video? [09:43] Folklore: Right click -> properties -> open with... -> add your command to the list [09:43] I was wondering how well that works but couldn't find much info on the forum [09:44] geirha do you know what file that's stored in though? [09:44] geirha: your version? [09:44] Folklore: It'll add a desktop file under ~/.local/share/applications iirc [09:45] thanks ill take a look === robert_ is now known as Guest33261 [09:46] Folklore: And it also changes an entry in ~/.local/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache [09:47] almoxarife: Every version of gnome that I can remember [09:47] geirha: I don't have the option of a 'manual entry' in gnome-shell 11.10 [09:48] almoxarife: Hm. Never tried gnome-shell, but this is a nautilus setting really. [09:49] thanks [09:49] geirha: if you know what the trick is please share, I thought it was an option before, but I don't have it now [09:49] hi, how to change the gdm login theme in ubuntu 11.10? [09:49] almoxarife: If you right-click a file, do you see properties as a choice? [09:50] if that is not possible, at least change the background image. thanks. [09:51] sgo11: 11.10 uses lightdm by default, not gdm [09:51] geirha: yes, I get to choose from various apps, I don't get to add one manually and not all apps are shown [09:51] geirha, oh. sorry, I don't know that. let me google lightdm. so is that possible to change lightdm login theme? [09:51] almoxarife: right click -> PROPERTIES -> Open with, not right click -> open with [09:52] is there a way to reset the sources.list? [09:52] geirha: yes, open with, a manual entry is not an option, what version of nautilus you running? [09:52] query, when i go to install Ubuntu 11.10 (first time linux user of any sort) it asks me if i want to run Ubuntu next to linux or erase windows and run ubuntu(not what i want) OR to create a partition for Ubuntu to run...which of these options are best? [09:54] one question i added a route: "route add default gw 10.9.0.2" how to delete it now? [09:54] eradicus: Yes, vim. [09:54] hansiii: route del [09:54] ppppurple: do you want to be able to use windows too? [09:54] ppppurple: create a partition for ubuntu [09:54] eradicus: Or look at something like apt-spy, read the very short man page. [09:54] hansiii see man rout ebut replace add with del [09:55] deej1976: yes but i dont know the parameters [09:55] hansiii: man route [09:55] geirha, thanks for letting me know lightdm. I found the config files under /etc/lightdm. thanks. [09:55] hansiii route del default gw [09:55] hmm, that wasn't supposed to happen [09:55] whats the difference between creating a partition for running ubuntu or running it alongside windows? [09:55] can't ever figure out why conky will show up at first upon bootup BUT then disappear??

[10:00] larryone: what was the problem? [10:00] conky is even running according to ps http://pastebin.com/jg0F1iGy [10:00] what do i need for " make xconfig " to work ? [10:00] how to disable the 'Guest' login in ubuntu 11.10? [10:01] i've been dealing with this problem for a couple years and just never cared to try to fix it. [10:01] hi, a couple of months ago I read about a python script someone wrote which automatically creates a html file containing a list of all the movies in a given directory (with images, text from imdb). It was featured on a ubuntu website, perhaps omg or ubuntugeek. Strange thing is I can't find any reference to it anywhere on the 'net. Can anyone here help me out? [10:01] rigved, some hardware was a little slow in coming up, and the booloader probably gave up waiting [10:01] ok, how do you unistall ubuntu OS once you have it installed? [10:02] ppppurple, you could delete the partitions [10:02] my empathy is not working properly.when it automatically close itself when try to use open it [10:02] just typed exit at the busybox prompt, and it came up alright now [10:02] SqRt7744: the only partition it make was for the swap [10:02] SqRt7744, is it this? http://www.facebook.com/notes/programming-and-scripting-vault/tcsh-script-to-create-an-html-page-listing-files-and-directories-in-a-table-stru/175399059162376 [10:02] ppppurple: can you boot both OSs now? FYI, unless you use WUBI, you will be creating a new partition anyway. [10:02] ppppurple, unless you installed it though windows, in which case add/remove apps in windows should do the trick [10:03] larryone: most probably the slow hardware came up later. the bootloader would would not give up automatically, it would ask you before giving up. but good that your problem was solved! :) [10:03] SqRt7744: xbmc should do it, but I am thinking the output file is a xml [10:03] mazda01, cool, I'll have a look, but I could have sworn it was a python script. [10:03] chute: yes when i turn the comp on i can run either ubuntu or windows. ubutun runs a little slow so i was wondering it if would have been faster to partition off more then 4gigs that it made to run alongside windows [10:03] and i installed it off a bootable USB... [10:03] almoxarife, thanks I'll have a look [10:03] rigved, that's what i'm assuming [10:03] Short-term-support versions versus Long-term-support? Any benefit for the latter besides the support? Do 11.04 & 11.10 provide much for the server edition? [10:03] it didnt ask me tho [10:03] just dropped to the busybox prompt [10:04] SqRt7744, i have no idea, just googled. LOL [10:04] so does anyone use conky? [10:04] can't ever figure out why conky will show up at first upon bootup BUT then disappear?? Here's my launch file http://pastebin.com/TkUQhK0X located in the startup apps and then here;s the 2 .conkyrc files. http://pastebin.com/J2CJ12pA http://pastebin.com/GhWxaYHE Any help please? [10:05] mazda01: where are you running the bash file from? [10:05] mazda01, no that's not it, that doesn't do anything other than show the directory listing as an html [10:05] ppppurple: yes, 4GB is a bit on the low side. Is grub your boot manager? [10:07] somsip, my home dir [10:07] somsip, conky is even running according to ps http://pastebin.com/jg0F1iGy [10:07] SqRt7744, didn't think it was that easy. :( [10:07] JoeDeso: 11.10 does have some new software, specifically juju. but LTS is always better as it gets more attention in regards to stability. wait for 12.04. by that time, most of the bugs in the new packages will have been sorted out. plus there will be more charms available by default. [10:07] mazda01: are you running it from terminal, or double clicking on it in Nautilus or what? [10:08] rigved: good point, thanks! [10:08] hi all [10:08] anyone know about a agp video card capable w/ ubuntu. I am maining using for Photoshop type of stuff but no gaming yet [10:08] i'm having problems with gvim in 11.10, doesn't draw all the letters [10:09] somsip, it's set to run from the start up applications gui. [10:09] i'm starting it with -f because of the menu problem [10:09] anyone in here compiled a kernel before ? [10:09] ppppurple: could you elaborate on "ubuntu runs a bit slow"? [10:10] somsip, if i just sudo killall conky after my machine boots up, then issue from the cli ./.conkylauch all is well. [10:10] paulo_gomes: Does it have problems only with non-english letters? [10:10] mazda01: I could be wrong, but you're starting a process, backgrounding it (and the second line in the bash file has a && at the end which does I don't know what) and then killing the parent process. I run conky from .xinitrc. But I'm no expert [10:10] chute: sorry, was googling ubuntu stuff. just when i click anything while on the ubuntu OS it takes like 2 seconds to respond and open a program. im not sure what the "grub" is [10:11] hi guys, is it right, when i want to enumerate my network. to see ip adresses of other servers in my network and i want to scane from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.0.255 i use: "nman -sL 192.168.0.0/24"? [10:12] somsip, i'll change whatever to be honest. like I said been just "dealing" with it for years now. can you point me to a place to run it upon startup from .xinited? also, note I am running 10.04. Its a stable production box, so I am not upgrading at this time [10:13] somsip, also, i found that launch file commands online. the exit doesn't "kill" the process as you said, which is shown when I issue a ps . you can seee them running, it's a window manager thing i believe [10:13] mazda01: so maybe start by just running "conky -p 30 -c /home/daniel/.conkyrc " in a temrinal and see if your conky scripts work properly first. Then put it together in a bash script, and run it from somewhere that won't kill the backgroup process. What window manager are you running? [10:13] somsip, i use gnome [10:13] mazda01: fair enough. But still start by testing each one separate in an environment you can control. Run from terminal, check they work. kill them. Edit the conky files and repeat [10:14] mazda01: k - not sure where thebest place for a startup would be. Maybe you have it in the right place [10:14] any one able to direct me to info on how to get rid of ubuntu once its installed on dual boot? would like to reinstall it [10:15] ppppurple: I would suggest you run as is and get a bit used to ubuntu. Once convinced, do a more informed new install. [10:15] somsip, i've done all that. lol. here's it running successfully from the bash launch script. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-buTwVKoJcyM/TuCORwQY5wI/AAAAAAAABZE/A4ja3NMUS2I/s720/Screenshot-1.png [10:16] ppppurple: just reinstall Ubuntu from your liveCD, changing your partition sizes. [10:16] chute: i have been playing with it in Virtual Box quite a bit [10:16] hmmm ok ill try that [10:16] somsip, i appreciatee your help! i am not trying to being "snippy" or anytyhing. I am just pointing out I have tried and tried all you're suggesting. May I see your .conkyrc? [10:16] mazda01: so the problem is it doesn't run automatically on startup? Maybe I missed the root problem you are having [10:17] somsip, it runs upon start up. the problem is that it seems to disappear from view, BUT per a ps aux command conky is still running [10:17] I NEED HELP?.. I M USING YLMS WUBI LINUX.. AND NMAP AND OTHER HACKING RELATED SOFTWARES ARE NOT RUNNING PROPERLY [10:17] almoxarife: thanks you soo much for your help i have fixed the Grub with the link you gave me [10:18] somsip, actually, about that pic i just uploaded. all my desktop icons on the left are hidden somehow but if i hover over them with te mouse cursor they temporarily reappear. LOL [10:18] Hi, is this the right place to ask questions about RDP behavior in 10.04? [10:18] Maxy1982: you welcome, actually someone else came up with the link, I forget who now, share the link :) [10:18] themachinegun, no capitals please! [10:18] themachinegun, we don't like being yelled at. LOL [10:18] mazda01: so what does the && do on line 4? Just out of interest, like [10:19] Madis85, sure, ask away [10:19] none of the umlauts work correctly when connecting to a windows server by rdp, no matter what i set the keyboard layout [10:20] i just get some sort of combination of characters "'u" "[o" and so on [10:20] somsip, it's my understanding thats what allows other command to run after that command BUT only if that command is successful. I think, LOL I am no a bash guy at all, just found that online somewhere [10:20] ok.. and i also want to ask about live hacking o/s?.. [10:20] mazda01: you have two of them. I'm not sure if this is a good thing [10:21] ciao a tutti [10:21] list! [10:21] somsip, examples are probably everywhere online of using the double && [10:21] hi all [10:21] mazda01: if you want o go with probably without checking, that's up to you [10:22] * noctem [10:22] somsip, ok, so you're suggesting remove the second & from the second conky? [10:22] somsip, as I said, i'll try anything. LOL [10:22] i used clonezilla for cloning ubuntu machine, when i restore the machine the grub prompt shows an error "no arguments specified" is there any workaround to solve that [10:23] ubuntu 10.10, Huawei E1550 modem (3g) connects with Docomo and other 2g sim cards but not with BSNL 3g :) [10:23] somsip, just found this, care to read it? http://binbashblog.blogspot.com/2010/02/my-conky-scripts-and-how-to-run.html [10:23] mazda01: I think it looks wrong. I don't imagine it's killing the script, but you should start from something that looks right I guess. Does it all work if you run this script from terminal? [10:23] mazda01: And? [10:23] somsip, so I do see my bash script may be outdated. [10:24] somsip, yes, as I said. I can run from terminal and all is well.

[10:44] mazda01: when lanching conky at login. ive gad to make it run via a script after a 20 sec delay [10:44] almoxarife, yes, it's not an issue of whether it runs or not or upon startup, it's some config setting i the conky file [10:44] thank you Sidewinder1... but now it's too late right ? [10:44] coz the error is just happening... and i am fowarding the message to myself :) [10:44] dr_willis, yes, I know. it's something either with the own_window or double_buffer settings.

[10:45] dr_willis, dont run unity [10:45] mazda01: what about opening a terminal and executing your script line by line? find the line that causes the problem first? [10:45] id check askubuntu.com about the conky issue [10:46] panv, Not sure; I always just used gmail through browser and T-Bird for personal/private email acct. Perhaps you could request the sender to "resend?"

[10:48] Sidewinder1, thanks, ive been dealing with the issue for over 2 years and I've tried "thousands" of configs only to come to same issue [10:48] Hi, is there a ready-made DBD::Oracle package (libdbd-oracle-perl) for Ubuntu LTS? [10:49] mazda01, Doesn't sound like fun. :-( [10:50] mazda01: why are the icons on the desktop an issue? do they need to be there? I don't have a single icon on the desktop, top bar and cairo-dock at bottom, empty space inbetween [10:50] I GOT IT, had to change the own_window from NO to YES.

[10:54] mazda01: you want stress? 11.10 gnome-shell, that should keep you busy [10:54] mazda01, I'm sure, after 2 yr.s you've seen this; if not, try posting your problem on the last page: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=281865&highlight=conky [10:54] it's the only reason I am so vex'd on so many aspects of linux (debian based) in general. Create an issue, research, google, irc, SOLVE. Love it [10:54] Sidewinder1, im well aware of the forums. not bragging but i have almost 5,000 posts [10:54] #ics_desire_nexus_dev [10:55] Sidewinder1, im a busy body helper most times. [10:55] Sidewinder1, but this silly conky issue had me on my knees. LOL [10:55] Sidewinder1, i am dannyboy79 on the forums [10:56] anyone know an easy way to make desktop icons smaller? [10:56] mazda01, I haven't been on too much, lately; only a couple of hundred beans.. [10:56] i have a custom genoid theme but isn't there like a DPI setting somewhere to control size of icons on desktop [10:57] Sidewinder1, it's all good. as i said I wasn't trying to brag about my bean count I was merely showing proof that I was aware of the forums [10:57] Sidewinder1, like I said, been using ubuntu since dapper [10:58] anyone know where to find a genral setting for desktop icon size? [10:58] mazda01: and icon size is still an issue? how would you do it in dapper? [10:58] almoxarife, pffft, not sure how to read that. u joking? [10:59] almoxarife, i never claimed be some know all expert. [10:59] mazda01, But, did you post your problem in the thread that I gave you? It started in Oct. '06 and is over 1,800 pages long.. [10:59] it looks like ntp.ubuntu.com is experiencing issues,  random connection drops [10:59] Sidewinder1, no because as I stated. I never really cared enough to figure it out, much more pressing things to work on. It's all fixed now and thats good [11:00] mazda01, If the guys/gals who frequent that thread can't answer, there may be 'no answer." :-( [11:00] Ok, but I do understand frustration.. :D [11:01] almoxarife, sorry if I came off as some expert. I didn't mean to. been on ubuntu since dapper BUT still learn NEW things in ubuntu daily whether it be to use x11vnc thru a secure ssh tunnel from work OR maybe using the latest svn kdenlive to do video editing of my video game play and upload to youtube. [11:01] Sidewinder1, it's working, maybe you missed that I said I solved it [11:02] Congrats! [11:02] doubt anyone cares BUT this is my Youtube channel and it's ALL done with ubuntu, kino, and kdenlive (and of course ffmpeg for screencasts and xbox 360 for gameplay) [11:02] http://www.youtube.com/user/dansnewaddress?feature=mhee [11:03] back to the new question, anyone know how to change default icon size of the desktop icons? [11:03] I want to associate a uri to an app, sop to xbmc, I can't get started, sopcast associates to sop , anyone know what I am talking about? [11:04] <|TTTTT|> Hi room [11:04] <|TTTTT|> i have not been to irc for yrs [11:04] <|TTTTT|> just like to know if this is a singapore chatroom? === e-anima is now known as eanima [11:05] almoxarife, don't use sopcast but do use xbmc. sorry can't help [11:05] |TTTTT|, Welcome! And it's multi-national. [11:05] Hi, I would like to use Lotus symphony , so I downloaded the deb archive, but when I type in terminal symphony it say "-bash: symphony: command not found". WTF? how to launch the program? [11:06] xcv, you have to first install the .deb file [11:06] <|TTTTT|> Hi sidewinder... tks... like to ask u something [11:06] <|TTTTT|> u mind if i pte msg u? [11:06] mazda01: and since you do use it, wouldn't it be nice to click on a sop url and off it went to open it? [11:06] mazda01: I did it. [11:06] !pm | |TTTTT| [11:06] almoxarife, what is a sop url? some sort of website where soapoperas are held? [11:07] xcv, congrats [11:07] where is the settings for default icons on the desktop size, need to make icons smaller. [11:07] But it don't appear in menu, and the file /usr/bin/symphony seem to point to inexistant file [11:07] guess ill check out gconf-editor [11:08] mazda01: soaps? could I guess, never saw one with sop, but I assume someone outthere has done it [11:08] I have nothing on the desktop [11:08] almoxarife, ok, i guessed. as I said I don;t know what a "sop" is [11:08] xcv, so did the deb installer says it ran correctyl?

[11:09] How do I install NVIDIA-Linux-x86-290.10.run in my 11.10? [11:09] mazda01: it said that it was installed succesfull, and it is on 10.04 [11:10] meerkats: you don't, you install nivida current unless you want to fight a install [11:11] almoxarife, is it that difficult? [11:11] meerkats: not at all [11:11] folks how do i use xmlrpc in my _nodeapi ? [11:11] almoxarife, any link to "fight" the installation? [11:11] xcv, ah,, you're speaking my langauge. lol so it didn't install anywhere in the menu? go to system, pref, main menu and view each category to see if it's maybe NOT check marked. [11:12] meerkats, you comforatble working from command line? [11:12] meerkats: how do you install stuff on your machine? [11:12] how to check what interface uses my wireless card? [11:12] almoxarife, sometimes i need to compile [11:12] demosfar, interface? you mean like wlan0 etc etc? [11:12] mazda01, yes [11:12] demosfar, lshw normally is pretty helpful [11:13] demosfar, sudo lshw [11:13] meerkats: seems you should be able to do the apt get thing then, the package you want is nvidia-current [11:13] !info nvidia-current [11:13] nvidia-current (source: nvidia-graphics-drivers): NVIDIA binary Xorg driver, kernel module and VDPAU library.

[11:14] hmmmm, not finding anything about desktop icon size in gconf-editor. darn it [11:14] to list only wifi.. [11:14] I already have 280.13 I was aiming to 290.10 [11:14] anyways im reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingRunPackage [11:14] demosfar, well, i am not sure what info you're looking for. i may have a better command if I better understood what you're doing [11:15] I found it. It's on eth2 interface.. [11:15] mazda01: no I cannot find it. But with this tree: http://www.mediafire.com/?vsvl77za5ydd5a5 Where is the launcher of symphony? [11:16] demosfar, doesn't make any sense. normally "eth" interfaces are for NIC's not wifi cards [11:16] one more question...in ubuntu 11.10 there is no package manager? (I wan to install grub2 customizer, but in software center i cannot find that program) [11:16] i know... my crazy comp :) [11:17] xcv, you'll find people willing to help more if you used pastebin next time. let me look, one second [11:17] xcv, just a "protip" lol [11:17] demosfar: apt-cache search grub2 [11:17] mazda01: New Broadcom drivers create eth* interfaces. [11:17] mazda01: No idea why [11:17] mazda01: it is tooo huge to past in pastbin [11:18] meerkats: ppa? still easier than fighting it? ppa:ferramroberto/nvidia [11:18] meerkats: yes, the 210 [11:18] deej1976, there is no grub2 customizer listed after casche searc [11:18] meerkats: yes, the 290 [11:19] hey everyone. I switched my desktop from unity to xfce. I also wanted to try xdm instead of lightdm. The switch to xdm went fine, but now that I switched back to lightdm with dpkg-reconfigure lightdm, after rebooting, the x.org doesn't start. If I switch back to xdm, everything is fine, but switchting to lightdm makes light not want to start [11:19] xcv, ok. did you read the full install tutorial of http://wiki.oseems.com/programming/symfony/setup-symfony-in-linux [11:19] almoxarife, thanks, I was just about to run my .run as root [11:19] demosfar: not in the repository then [11:19] xcv, i am not familar with symphony is [11:20] theadmin, ah, see thats a new thing i learned. LOL [11:20] theadmin, not a wifi guy BUT good to know for future ref [11:20] demosfar: startupmanager? [11:20] how can I know the reasons about a package exists in 11.04 and does not exist in 11.10? (trying to discover about package rpncalc) [11:20] the screen keeps blinking from black to the console, tryinng to start x.org, and finally gives up [11:20] deej1976, so, do u know any grub2 gui customizer other that startupmanager, cause i cannot remove entry from startupmanager.. [11:21] theadmin, was just telling someone how you learn something new in linux daily despite being a user since dapper [11:21] mazda01: there is a litle problem: they propose only .deb or .rpm package for linux [11:21] demosfar: nope [11:21] I can then switch to the console using ctrl-alt-f1, then reconfigure xdm to be the default, and stop lightdm and start xdm, and I can login again [11:21] xcv, i thought you had a deb? [11:21] but if I then switch back to lightdm, x.org fails to start again [11:21] SmokeyD, you know what the X error is? [11:21] mazda01: I cannot extract the txz or zip archive [11:22] theadmin, you happen to know how to change desktop default icon size? [11:22] xcv, cannot? [11:22] xcv, not sure what you mean, you don't know how or you got an error? [11:22] hello world [11:22] ? [11:22] No because on the wiki they say to download tgz archive witch is unavailable [11:22] mazda01: No ideas lol [11:22] newer, hello world back at ya [11:22] anyone in here can help me with make xconfig problem ? [11:22] mazda01, will check (I guess in .xsession-errors?)

[11:23] theadmin, ok, i am using a custom genoid theme and i have only a 1280x1024 monitor and the desktop icons take up too much room. lol [11:23] 表示不会用啊 [11:23] SmokeyD, 1 place to look sure [11:23] newer: rm -r ~/Desktop/* [11:23] I'm just trying to sync a 30kb file, I can see the folder on my other machine but not the file :\ [11:23] err [11:23] mazda01: rm -r ~/Desktop/* [11:23] !ubuntuone | ror [11:23] ror: Ubuntu One is a service where you can back up, store, sync and share your data with other Ubuntu One users - For more see https://one.ubuntu.com/ support and help available at #ubuntuone [11:24] ta geirha [11:24] SmokeyD, well, i am asking what happenes when trying to use the lightdm [11:24] theadmin, NOT FUNNY!!!! [11:24] jo [11:24] mazda01: Ah come on, who NEEDS desktop icons? [11:24] theadmin, seriously. with n00bs in here you posting stuff like that [11:24] quit [11:24] mazda01: Okay okay, sorry [11:24] mazda01 please don't use the word n00bs here [11:25] mazda01: it is not Symfony but it is lotus symphony from IBM to be abble to read .doc without buying microsoft office 2010 [11:25] MonkeyDust: Why? Everyone was one someday, it's nothing to be ashamed of or anything offensive, imo [11:25] After trying to install ferramosca's ppa I get this The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources. how do I bypass that? [11:25] theadmin, for now, me. LOL i've tried gnome-do and glx_dock in the past [11:25] my computer keeps locking up, total freeze and the only thing i can do is restart does this sound familiar to anyone? ubuntu 11.04 with lxde on compaq presario CQ57, google has failed me [11:25] mazda01: ubuntu-tweak should solve your problems, not for 11.10 [11:25] MonkeyDust, ok [11:25] * theadmin uses Launchy on her machine, mazda01 [11:25] mazda01: Works great for me :) [11:25] theadmin, will check it out. THANKS! [11:26] azriel: check your ram [11:26] almoxarife, just installed ubuntu-tweak recently also. will rerun it. thanks [11:26] mazda01: it's like gnome-do but looks better and isn't mono-dependent [11:26] almoxarife: what about my ram? [11:26] mazda01, I fixed it by completely purging lightdm and related packages, and reinstalling it without the unity-greeter. Now it does start fine [11:26] SmokeyD, awesome!!! [11:26] /j xfce [11:26] so you guys like unity? [11:27] i don't [11:27] I don't [11:27] mazda01, now I don't have window borders in xfce though :( [11:27] mazda01 >:| [11:27] azriel: insure your ram is not the problem, then look at the health of your disks, then ???? [11:27] Login is fine, but the window borders are missing [11:27] using the xfce session [11:27] xcv, um, pretty sure you can open a .doc with openoffice or libreoffice [11:27] SmokeyD, sounds like your missing your window decorator [11:28] almoxarife: Im sorry I'm not understanding you right now, check my ram for what? how? Health of what disks? [11:28] mazda01: Of course but With openoffice or libreoffice It display .doc like a draft. For sending CV it is impossible to be hirred [11:29] xcv: I would export the CV to pdf and send that. [11:29] mazda01: It is because compagny want CV only in .doc, and reject PDF or ODT [11:29] that nvidia drivers ppa doesnt have an available PUBKEY, how bad is that? [11:29] xcv: Maybe you should consider another company. [11:29] meerkats: Nothing to worry about to be honest [11:29] SmokeyD, can you fire up gconf-editor? [11:29] theadmin, ok [11:30] xcv, so whats the end goal again? [11:30] meerkats ppa's are maintained by one person only, it's not offical [11:30] azriel: you said your machine freezes, yes? and you have to restart. you want to insure your 'ram' is not the issue, bad ram is somewhat easy fix, $$$ aside [11:30] come on guys don't be arseholes, every single recruitment company I've come across has insisted on .doc, it's nothing to do with the companies hiring [11:30] mazda01: , theadmin Because Every compagny who Hire beginer want only .doc CV [11:30] I'm using xubunte and I don't know how to make the screen settings permanent. Iv'e got the script to make the changes via arandr but I don't know where to put it. All tutorials I've seen were for different versions. Any ideas? [11:30] The goal is to be hired without buying microsoft office [11:30] xcv, i use openoffice and just "save-as" to .doc [11:31] mazda01, I can't type anything. I can open up a "run command" box with alt-f2, and I can click in it with the mous and click the buttons, but I can't type anything [11:31] xcv, some formatting crap gets weird with bullets sometimes though but it serves my purpose [11:31] mazda01, Same, here. [11:31] almoxarife oh ok [11:31] kim ross is the ideal [11:31] mazda01: If I do that, ms office user will say that my CV is a draft -> CV go to the bin [11:31] xcv: What do you mean, "Draft"? [11:31] can I launch a command on the console and start it for a different display? So I can start xfwm or xfce-panel in the console on cltr-alt-f1 for the graphical desktop? [11:31] * Sidewinder1 Doesn't understans, has never heard of "CV." [11:32] xcv, ok, sorry. this sounds beyound my knowledge. i would say look for a recently dated tutorial on install and using lotus symphony in ubuntu [11:32] understand, even. [11:32] Draft: a durty document [11:32] xcv, or tell the MS user he's at the mercy of the all powerful GATES and you will not bow down. LOL [11:32] SmokeyD: Sure... DISPLAY=:0 xfwm [11:32] SmokeyD: etc [11:33] lol mazda01, I said this after the reject of position application [11:33] xcv, ouch, sorry to hear that.sounds like a letter needs to be sent informing them to get with the times and not everyone can afford MS Word [11:33] mazda01: then he said "I hope You are not looking for a job because I will do all my possible to forbide my contacts to hire you" [11:34] xcv, OVER A SILLY .DOC FILE? wow, sorry for caps [11:34] I only said that I send CV with normes ISO format [11:34] CV??? [11:34] xcv, ok, why is this tut not working for you? http://wiki.oseems.com/programming/symfony/setup-symfony-in-linux [11:35] need coffeee........ BRB [11:35] xcv: They are stupid, seriously...

[11:38] Google doc sucks at .doc, and .docx [11:38] mazda01, theadmin, I managed to get the xfwm4 and xfce4-panel started from the console using theadmin's tip. Now I do have window borders [11:38] google doc sucks even on PDF [11:38] and I can type and start dconf-editor [11:38] xcv: Won't they even accept a link to a shared google doc?

But I will first have to figure out the command for it, since I don't have any panels and menu's :) [11:50] mazda01, thanks for thinking with me [11:52] SmokeyD, in mine it's gnome-session-properties but obviously you're not using gnome. hmmmmm [11:52] theadmin: yeah root of course [11:52] hi guys, actually libtiff-dev requires libjpeg6 but i wanted to installad libjpeg8 instead, how can i force the dipendence, maybe just set libjpeg6 as installed and install libjpeg8c from source [11:52] SmokeyD: xfce4-session-settings [11:53] Hi all, I have ubuntu running in a virtualbox VM and it is saying 'The volume "Filesystem root" has only 0 bytes disk space remaining'. can anyone help?

[14:10] danileigh79: if the windows partition is to the left of the ubuntu partition then you can delete windows, then move ubuntu 'down' (to the left) the disk and then expand it 'up' (to the right) of the disk [14:10] hi guys, how can i reinstall a package with apt-get? [14:10] To all who answered, does it matter if my LIVECD is 9.10, but I'm running 11.04 on the HDD? [14:10] alex88: sudo apt-get install --reinstall [14:10] danileigh79: shouldn't, no [14:11] danileigh79: gparted doesn't really care about what's in the partition when you resize them [14:11] popey: oh, great! thank you! [14:11] popey: Thanks, I'm planning on moving all my WinXP files to a diff lappy, then turning this lappy into an Ubuntu only computer [14:11] danileigh79: sweet! [14:11] tnx xangua, i now can use aria2, but in not better than DTA [14:12] popey: Even though this lappy came originally with WinXP in 2005, it's getting SLOW...

Thanks! [14:19] The_BROS: use gimp 2.7.x it has one window layout [14:19] Thanks. I heard that gimp 2,7,3 is in one window, but it is unstable(( [14:19] alaing: mysql -h mysqlserver -p -u userid database [14:19] The_BROS: Ah ok. That's a new one on me [14:19] anyway, why do you prefer single window for gimp? [14:20] The_BROS: gimpshop doesn't have one window layout. (it's also a fairly insignificant issue) [14:20] deej1976: At the moment I have a headless server and I'm using putty on my win7 machine to connect to it.

[14:25] alaing: Yep, if it's all on one machine should matter [14:26] evil_hog: it is runing as I can use it from putty [14:26] deej1976: why should it matter?

[15:28] Disqualified: When using the ext2 or ext3 filesystem by default 5% of the available blocks is reserved for use by the root user.

[15:55] I downloades Alasa and pavucontrol to no avail [15:55] @monkeydust - hi, the guys at ubuntu+1 said they are not including it! too bad! anyway - check out this video if you have time, enjoy! thank you. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHCDU-CUoaQ [15:55] MahaVishnu, i guess im just not understanding all that i can do with partitions. the only partitions i need is SDA1 and SDA2 to dual boot windows, how would i be able to give that extra space to be usable in linux? [15:55] hail !!! [15:55] evil_log I was just thinking what has changed since I last used the server and the only thing I can think of is that I changed the WORKGROUP name on the router [15:56] shortly after instalation of awstats i recieved a lot of errors like Starting ClamAV daemon clamd /usr/sbin/clamd: error while loading shared libraries: libclamav.so.6: cannot open shared object file: Permission denied [15:56] or imapd: /usr/bin/imapd: error while loading shared libraries: libfam.so.0: cannot open shared object file: Permission denied [15:56] . [15:57] pppurple, it looks like you have 2 linux installs on 1 drive.. and windows apparently. and an OEM windows recovery partition. [15:57] pppurple, your end goal is to dual boot windows + ubuntu ? [15:57] evil_hog: my putty connection keeps timing out [15:57] After booting the oneiric 32bit image from a usb stick, the desktop comes up. After about 5 seconds, almost all widgets freeze, just the mouse is still working. Is that a known problem? [15:57] so no one is going to help me with my sound issue? [15:58] !patience [15:58] Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [15:58] Shodowjedi01: as of yet you haven't explained your problem [15:58] I just want to know if someone can help me get my audio in jack working [15:58] Shodowjedi01, what does your configuration tab look like in pavucontrol ? is it set to analog stereo duplex, what does your input tab look like? [15:58] alaing: sad [15:59] anyone can suggest solution? cause i'm running out of options. tried to reinstall suspected packages, checked ldconfig and checked the rights to libs [15:59] what is the command for pavucontrol [15:59] with no luck === rymate1234|away is now known as rymate1234 [15:59] hello anyone run flightgear in ubuntu 10.10 [15:59] !away > rymate1234 [15:59] rymate1234, please see my private message === mquin- is now known as mquin [16:00] vonHerman: what are the permissions of those files? [16:00] Shodowjedi01 i use jack for cd ripping, what's up [16:00] MahaVishnu, yes. i was running Ubuntu beside windows and then reinstalled it and tried to make a partition for the ubuntu OS and a partition for data in ubuntu. i had 3 partitions for windows, a recovery, an OS, and a Data. when i did that install and restarted i came up to a system file error and a command of grub rescue> that i didnt know what to do with so i booted back off a USB and now have a lot of partitions and no idea what i need to do with them or how [16:00] to install ubuntu how i originally wanted to [16:00] hello [16:01] pppurple, start by unmounting them all.

[16:04] what did you ask me to look at? [16:04] pppurple, mount * [16:04] Shodowjedi01, your config tab and your input tab. [16:05] Shodowjedi01, config should be set to analog stereo duplex and input should be line in. [16:05] my input is set to internal audio analog [16:05] and under config it is set to analog sterio duplex [16:05] How do I make it so that a user can run selected commands as sudo, but not be able to use sudo for anything else?

GPT table, first partition is 20mb bootable fat16 efi [16:07] fully auto installation works [16:08] evil_hog, ubuntu doesn't auto make gpt partitions does it? [16:08] MahaVishnu: 11.10 x64 does, on my laptop at least (with EFI) [16:09] ffmpeg/winff preset: how to limit mpeg4 super high quality preset to maximum 4mbit? === patty__ is now known as hdon-- [16:09] evil_hog, oh. im not familiar with what efi is sorry. I was unsure because I upgraded and my / is not on a GPT thats why I asked. but I guess it's since I upgraded. [16:09] MahaVishnu, paste bin like the link to the photos? not sure what that is. sorry about the PM. and which SDA* to unmount? [16:09] deej1976: well I just run dmesg |egrep 'unable|error' [16:10] pppurple, all of them. [16:10] I've noticed that in 11.10 the system settings are dumbed down to being nearly useless... [16:10] evil_hog: you're using UEFI? [16:10] [ 0.179175] rtc_cmos: probe of rtc_cmos failed with error -16 [16:10] [ 0.180415] /build/buildd/linux-2.6.32/drivers/rtc/hctosys.c: unable to open rtc device (rtc0) [16:10] MahaVishnu: its probably because my system using EFI and i installed x64 version [16:10] ffmpeg/winff preset: how to limit mpeg4 super high quality preset to maximum 4mbit? [16:10] evil_hog, what is EFI please ? [16:10] mneptok: i dunno its efi or uefi. laptop z570 lenovo [16:10] raven: make a preset that has the proper ffmpeg options? [16:10] MahaVishnu: some kind of bios replacement :) [16:10] vonHerman, please so output into pastebin [16:11] evil_hog, oh interesting never heard of it till now ill have to do some reading. [16:11] dr_willis, which of theese options have to be changed [16:11] raven: no idea. Id have to look at the ffmpeg docs/faq/guides [16:11] evil_hog: UEFI partitions need to be ~120MB and formatted FAT32. they need to be mounted to /boot/efi and the EFI bits of GRUB2 need to be installed. [16:12] evil_hog: the Ubuntu installer should detect all this and set it up. if you choose to do it manually, then you need to be very aware of the rules. [16:12] mneptok: with default partitioning it was fat16 20mb (or 200mb, can't remember) and it worked. i've seen ubuntu in uefi boot menu and was able to boot it. well, i still can see it but it doesn't boot [16:13] how to install drivers from file .run? [16:13] !info grub-efi [16:13] grub-efi (source: grub2): GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2 (dummy package). In component main, is extra.

[16:13] evil_hog: ^^^^ [16:13] mneptok: alright, if i'll make 120mb fat32 partition. what should i chose in installer GUI? to install grub to /dev/sda or /dev/sda1 (efi partition) [16:13] demosfar: you run the .run file.. chmod +x foo.run then ./foo.run [16:13] demosfar: and normally its best to use the drivers from teh repos. [16:13] deej1976: http://pastebin.com/fau1Q3G9 [16:14] evil_hog: if you want to define all this stuff manually, i would suggest you use the alternate installer. [16:14] dr_willis, i have problem while installing newest ati drivers. Here is jockey.log: http://pastebin.com/5abe4S7u [16:14] pppurple, you get those unmounted ? [16:14] How do I generate a xorg.conf file? I've tried booting into recovery and running Xorg -configure but got an file lock error. [16:14] demosfar: will mean very little to me.. I dont use ati. and its not reccomended to use the .run installer. [16:14] hi, can anyone help me get Wacom Bamboo ctl-470/K working on ubuntu? [16:14] sebx, what kind of card ? [16:14] demosfar: the forums or askubuntu.com may have some info on the problem, [16:14] intel onboard from i3 530 [16:14] i don't have choice...cause my gnome shell wont work good without newest drivers [16:15] MahaVishnu, intel onboard from i3 530 [16:15] MahaVishnu, not just yet. trying to understand what im doing so i can re-do an install and not mess it up again. [16:15] mneptok: well, the main reason why i'm doing so is that i want separate /home and i want 4k aligned partitions. the default GUI installer can see EFI partition. but i'm not sure what should i choose as target for grub. the drive itself or that efi partition [16:15] vonHerman: Nothing in there [16:16] pppurple, unmounting doesn't destroy anything [16:16] sebx, what exact error? [16:16] evil_hog: sudo grub-install /dev/sd(whatever) === magentar_ is now known as magentar [16:16] MahaVishnu, it couldn't get a file lock on some temp file, don't remember exact message. Is that otherwise the best way? [16:16] evil_hog: that's AFTER you install the grub-efi package and remove grub-pc [16:16] deej1976: but problem with multiple programs pesists :/ [16:16] sebx, you might need to kill x before you do -configure [16:17] sebx, try sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm stop [16:17] MahaVishnu, I'm in recovery mode, I don't think it was running. I'll try that, ty [16:17] sebx, are you on a gui now or no? [16:17] MahaVishnu, it wont let me Unmount says "the daemon is being inhibitied" [16:17] MahaVishnu, yes, I'm in gui now [16:18] mneptok: and then i should add ubuntu to efi menu? [16:18] pppurple, close any open windows of any files. close gparted etc. [16:18] vonHerman: sudo cat kern.log | pastebinit [16:18] MahaVishnu, I'll try to go to a virtual console and kill x [16:18] sebx, yea. [16:18] Does anyone here by chance have any experience with a Skystar USB HD2 dvb-s2 tuner under ubuntu? [16:18] gnaddel, the ubuntu websites have some kind of h/w compatibility DB I believe... [16:18] Hey everyone! Is there a way to make open office (libre office?) ignore my gtk theme? - Just in case anyone else cared, I found a fix - sudo apt-get remove libreoffice-gtk did the trick. [16:18] im having trouble reinstalling grub2, it tells me "/usr/sbin/grub-prove error cannot find a device for /boot/grub is /dev mounted? [16:18] i don't know what ot do [16:19] kish: so you are on a live cd? or what exactly? [16:19] yes, [16:19] im on a live cd. [16:20] hello, need help for solving this: synaptic: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [16:20] MahaVishnu: It appears that some people have it working but googling how to do it turns out to be.... not so much fun indeed ;) [16:20] evil_hog: then "sudo update-grub" [16:20] mneptok: thank a lot for the info. i'm going to give it last try today [16:20] MahaVishnu, i was only ableto unmount 1 of the mounted SDA7 [16:20] evil_hog: there's no manual tweaking of the GRUB menu necessary [16:20] MahaVishnu, the other revieved this error Error unmounting: umount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: [16:20] umount: only root can unmount UUID=9883d10a-8bc5-4184-9c4c-f03e42191022 from / [16:20] pppurple, sudo ;-P [16:21] mneptok: and what about efibootmgr?

[16:22] MahaVishnu, sorry im not sure that means. im not unmounting threw a terminal. i am using the Disk utility [16:22] i am trying to setup vpn client [16:22] varnie, you have to put the ip in the conf file [16:22] How to know the list of versions available for a given packet ? I want to know the list of nmap version available [16:23] kish, in which file, mpd.conf? [16:23] yes [16:23] ip instead of the hostname [16:23] deej1976: http://pastebin.com/7c1xUNKU [16:23] yes but that vpn server has multiple ip addresses [16:23] pppurple, well use a terminal and type sudo umount /dev/sdaX [16:23] varnie, you can find out what thye are [16:23] ok [16:23] deej1976: i have no output [16:23] deej1976: sorry for delay [16:23] pppurple, close the disk utility first.

[16:23] A [16:24] varnie, yeah [16:24] well, it connects but only from time to tiem [16:24] butti: sudo apt-get install libstdc++6 [16:24] varnie, you said vpn client, but your talking about mpd.conf ? [16:24] butti: sudo apt-get install --reinstall libstdc++6 [16:24] a [16:24] evil_hog: update-grub will take care of all of it [16:25] mneptok: thanks again === OffToHades is now known as BarkingFish [16:25] kish, yes I use mpd5 as a pptp_client [16:26] deej1976: apt-get: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [16:26] anyone know how i can try and get better screen resolution? im on a dell e6400 getting 1280x800 max according to xrandr [16:26] and the latest ubuntu [16:26] skinnux99, does xrandr -q show any higher resolution ?\ [16:26] doh [16:27] MahaVishnu, device is busy. i believe SDA8 has linux on it and i am running linux from it currently [16:27] MahaVishnu: sadly no [16:27] Hello Guys.

[16:28] but its not one of the choices listed [16:28] Jorky - just boot the cd and point it at the spare disk for the install [16:28] Possibly a permissions issue? Do I need to mount it differently or add credentials from the MAC somewhere? [16:28] skinnux99, yea thats frame buffer or something [16:28] deej1976: apt-get: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [16:28] skinnux99, what mode do you want? and ur sure the device can support it?

[16:30] Jorky, It should do that if you select "Install alongside Windows" during installation [16:30] MahaVishnu, ok i can do that. just need to save xchat to a thumb drive and reboot [16:31] : Thx I hpe it works [16:31] pppurple, huh!? you need a whole ubuntu .iso not just xchat [16:31] pppurple, the ubuntu live .iso comes with xchat pretty sure. [16:31] or xchat-gnome at least. [16:32] yea thats what I meant. I think... [16:32] dont use gnome so. [16:32] MahaVishnu yes yes i have a bootable USB with ubuntu ISO. i am saving xchat so i dont have to download it and can run it from the live cd [16:32] pppurple, it has it alrdy [16:32] butti: When did this error start to appear === Mono is now known as DaBaus [16:32] hey [16:32] panera sandwhich = good. sorry back on topic ;-P [16:33] how can i run a bash command at boot always?

[16:34] dr_willis, yea most people who say 'at boot' really mean 'at login' [16:34] deej1976: i made so many trys with that [16:34] deej1976: for example: sudo ls -l /usr/lib/libstdc++* [16:35] butti: can you history | pastebinit [16:35] my linode instance rebooted and /sbin/initi kicked off uwsgi process, i cant seem to kill it, it just respawns [16:35] how can i do so [16:35] deej1976: tell command for the histrory [16:36] Linode ? [16:36] deej1976: i cant open anybrowser right now becouse of that failour [16:36] fission6, kill -9 ? [16:36] mneptok: and now the main question:) should I bother now with uefi and gpt, if i have just 750GB drive and probably installation to mbr partition should be easy? [16:37] fission6, or use pstree and figure out whats respawning it? [16:37] butti: you were making a link to libstdc++.so.6 ? or did i miss read. [16:37] compdoc: umm... I guess I 'made' it. [16:37] butti: "history" is the command enter in a terminal [16:37] huh?

[16:46] butti: 32 or 64 version? [16:46] So, I'm reluctantly considering updating from 11.04 to 11.10... [16:46] 64 [16:46] deej1976: 64 [16:46] And I was wondering. Are the Mint Gnome 3 extensions available to Ubuntu users? [16:47] nemo, use dd or clonezilla to clone ur drive first incase you don't like 11.10 you can go right back to 11.04 [16:49] @Mahavishnu.. i wish i did that :(( (with my bright screen) [16:49] MahaVishnu: oh. I've done that quite a few times. This ubuntu install has been on 5 machines w/ nc + dd [16:49] (is a work box) [16:49] butti: ldd /usr/sbin/synaptic | grep libstdc++.so.6 [16:49] MahaVishnu: I do have another machine on 11.10 where I resorted to XFCE4. === xxx is now known as Guest33196 [16:49] But I'd heard the Mint gnome 3 extensions made gnome 3 actually usable. [16:49] deej1976: ldd /usr/sbin/synaptic | grep libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6 => not found libstdc++.so.6 => not found libstdc++.so.6 => not found libstdc++.so.6 => not found libstdc++.so.6 => not found [16:49] nemo, i was using xfce4 then I started using fluxbox, and ill never use anything else it's perfect in every way. [16:50] MahaVishnu: so I was considering just upgrading to Mint 12 - but I'm also lazy. [16:50] nemo gnome 3 its a disaster [16:50] I've got a mint box (please let me know if I should be somewhere else for this) that tells me that a binary I'm trying to run in a local directory, doesn't actually exist. any ideas? [16:50] MahaVishnu: eh. I wouldn't recommend XFCE4 for everyone. Take my mom for example. She counts on, say, being able to browse an ISO on her desktop - even play the contents - all handled by gnome vfs [16:50] unity is hideous imho but someone is gonna tell us to get back on topic now. [16:50] join the debian master race [16:50] MahaVishnu: or change her timezone when travelling - XFCE4 still doesn't have a UI for that [16:51] nemo, yea usually nothing is ever perfect on a machine. [16:51] butti: libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 [16:51] or life for that matter. [16:51] rasusto: of my friends and family who are on 11.10 more of them seem to use gnome 3 than unity - right now a tally of 3 to 0 [16:51] MahaVishnu: just noting why I wouldn't want to move her from gnome 2 to XFCE4 [16:51] MahaVishnu: so actually, I'm doubly interested in the mint gnome 3 extensions - both for myself and for her [16:52] nemo, nothing wrong with gnome 2. [16:52] MahaVishnu: well. apart from it not being supported anymore :-p [16:52] I am using Gnome 3. [16:52] nemo, at all, or just by ubuntu ? [16:52] got tired of Unity.. [16:52] MahaVishnu: at all. [16:52] MahaVishnu: ubuntu ditching it was forced by gnome [16:52] Can we please try to stay on-topic here? This channel is for support only. If you'd like to discuss the relative merits of each desktop environment, you may use #ubuntu-offtopic. Thanks. [16:52] nemo, ah. I did not know that but makes sense. [16:53] *anyone* does the live cd have libstdc++.so.6 ? [16:53] sure Pici ;-P [16:53] deej1976: no permission [16:53] Pici: this is a specific support question. Is it possible to install the Mint Gnome 3 extensions in Ubuntu, say by adding some PPA [16:53] PICI can you help me [16:53] Pici: or do I need to upgrade our machines to Mint 12 [16:53] deej1976: sudo libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 [16:53] bash: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: Keine Berechtigung [16:53] Pici: since I'm kinda lazy, I'd prefer the PPa [16:53] nemo, mint isn't supported here just so you know. [16:53] not trying to be a d!ck [16:54] MahaVishnu: my question as you might notice, is ubuntu tailored [16:54] nemo: Have you tried looking for a PPA yourself? The search page is here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas [16:54] is there an *ubuntu* *PPA* for the extensions [16:54] nemo, I figured i'd say it before someone said it rudely ;-) [16:54] nemo: We don't and can't know what every PPA on launchpad is. [16:54] Pici: well, I'd actually tried googling for "installing mint gnome 3 extensions in ubuntu" :) [16:54] which wasn't too successful [16:55] Pici: not having much luck w/ that search either though :-/ [16:55] nemo, it sounds like an activity that could cause problems for the OS some how. [16:55] nemo: Then perhaps there is no such PPA. [16:55] MahaVishnu: why? gnome 3 is supposed to be extendable [16:55] Pici: quite likely. I figured it couldn't hurt to ask. Perhaps someone else had tried it [16:55] butti: Can you boot from a livecd and copy the libstdc++.so.6 file back to /usr on your system ? [16:55] Pici: that's the purpose of support channels after all! [16:55] nemo, idk much about mint, but if you are installing something tailored for it in ubuntu it might break something. just a possibility. [16:56] deej1976: look, ti made this: sudo rm /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 [16:56] butti: That is the problem [16:56] butti: What ubuntu version ? [16:56] deej1976: thank you very much..that was the problem [16:56] deej1976: 10.04 [16:57] butti: Try booting a livecd and copying the file back [16:57] Mahavishnu: am i posting my query in the right channel.. sorry to ask a bummer question.. but i am new to the IRC [16:57] deej1976: i had dipendency prob. one of my proghrams couldnt find the libstdc..so i found some cookingrecipes on the wenb without looking at that ..i mady copy/paste [16:58] nagpaiper, whats ur question again ? [16:58] Yay. I think I got where I want to be by finding the package name in mint, then searching for it on launchpad :D [16:58] I use 11.1 .. and ever since i upgraded the screen starts at its brightest [16:58] mgse-bottompanel for example... [16:58] take care and thanks for the help. cya ) [16:58] deej1976: i will do that, thank you very much...may i ask you for the help leter on to solve that other thing? [16:59] even if i reduce the brightness .. it comes back at its brightest after it recovers from a dormant state, or a screensaver [16:59] nagpaiper, samsung laptop ? [17:00] Mahavishnu: Dell Vostro [17:00] I'm off home now. [17:00] thank you bye [17:01] Mahavishnu: even tried reducing the brightness from the display settings within system settings [17:01] Hey! What packages do I need to remove to completly remove Ruby/Rails/Gemsets from my Ubuntu install? [17:01] Hello people, I'm trying to do something that involves perl, but I'm too lazy to learn it. I have a bunch of files in subdirectories that I want to rename, i.e. remove some leading "the"s which make it difficult to browse. Can anyone cook up a command that does that? [17:01] it still goes back to its brightest on restart or recovery [17:02] nagpaiper, yea im cruising looking for info, found something that looked good but it was for samsung hold on please. [17:03] Thanks Mahavishnu [17:06] nagesh, what do you have in /sys/class/backlight ? === nagesh is now known as nagpaiper [17:07] Sorry Mahavishnu got disconnected [17:08] I'm returning to the Dark Side (rebooting to WinXP) I shall see you all later [17:08] nagpaiper, what you got in /sys/class/backlight ? [17:08] I see two things [17:08] one sec.. will tell you those [17:09] acpi_video0 and intel_backlight [17:09] nagpaiper, if you cat them, does it provide any info ? [17:09] Sorry i am a newbie.. how do you do that [17:10] I just opened the folder through nautilus :-P [17:10] how do you force quite a hung linux program with manually? [17:10] i mean how do you "cat" [17:10] pppurple: Find it's process id, then "kill " === mysam is now known as Uncle|Sam [17:11] nagpaiper, open a terminal cat /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight or whatever [17:11] pppurple, you can find its process in the system monitor and kill it there too [17:11] will try that [17:11] one moment [17:12] nagpaiper, the terminal has a prompt on the left side, and a blinking cursor, you enter the text of the command you want to run, then hit enter === l is now known as johny2222 [17:12] does anyone know of a script that would help two users share the same desktop, im looking for something that would stop some services and start others. for instance i dont use gwibber but my girl does. [17:13] @tensorpudding did that thanks :) [17:13] and no i dont want multiple profiles [17:13] @Mahavishnu it says.. is a directory [17:13] http://www.regretsy.com/2011/12/05/cats-1-kids-0/ [17:13] nick [17:13] nagpaiper, oh. cd in further then. [17:13] "cat" is a common terminal command that justs spits out what the contents of a file is as text [17:14] LargePrime: wrong channel, try #ubuntu-offtopic [17:14] Would linux ubuntu server ed. be a good distribution for running a high load webpage? [17:14] sorry [17:14] anyone know how to get ALSA to record in stereo? [17:14] Mahavishnu.. i did CD followed by the path. [17:14] diverdud`: sure, a lot depends on how you configure it [17:14] i think i am into the folder [17:15] nagpaiper, like cd /sys/class/backlight/intel_whatever [17:15] nagpaiper, then do an ls to see what files are in there and cat filename to read contents [17:16] if you want to know your current directory, type "pwd" in [17:17] yes did that [17:17] There are about 6- 7 files there [17:17] including... brightness... max_brightness... subsystem [17:17] these files contain a number in it [17:17] nagpaiper: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:17] tensorpudding, yea but it tells you your working dir on the left. [17:18] depends on your prompt [17:18] it might not have a full path either [17:18] true. [17:18] There are numbers in the files actual_brightness ; brightness etc [17:18] -_- What's with people restarting their pc after compiz crashes? [17:18] You don't have to [17:18] it's an easy fix [17:19] most people dont care about rebooting [17:20] * rcmaehl cares about rebooting even though it only takes 15 seconds [17:20] exactly [17:20] Mahavishnu.. can i change the contents of the files === a is now known as Guest60345 [17:21] nagpaiper, yea I have done it before [17:21] also people shut their pc down incorrectly when compiz crashes [17:22] might as well just not use compiz then eh [17:22] :) [17:22] c.epiknet.org === Mud is now known as Guest59986 [17:25] and use metacity?

[17:35] Guest64035: it's not available on 10.04 [17:35] Guest64035: it's not been backported yet [17:35] ikonia, need to complite it and use it from http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/GNOME/sources/empathy/3.3/ [17:36] Guest64035: you shouldn't do that [17:36] ikonia, why? [17:36] Guest64035: because empathy is linked into the desktop in ubuntu, so you trying to conflict with it is not going to help [17:37] ikonia, thanks for info [17:38] Hi, in my oneiric installation when I copy files, the copy dialog gets lost when I do a show desktop [17:38] mounting a particular nfs share seems to cause my kernel to throw a GPF [17:38] there seems to be no window or notification area icon to get it back [17:38] are there any workarounds for this? [17:38] my only idea is that it has some kind of attempt at an exploit in it, and is causing my kernel to crash instead of working [17:39] other shares on the same server don't cause the problem [17:40] lgp171188: What do you mean "gets lost" ? You can't +Tab or + w to it ? [17:41] Arm0ur: I couldn't Alt+tab to it. I wasn't aware of Super+w. Will try that the next time. The only way I was knowing that the file copy/move was happening was that I was doing a move and the files in the source were getting deleted one by one. === root is now known as Guest52039 [17:51] howdy.. I have an intel core i5.. was wondering whether to install the amd64 bit or the regular 32 bit version of ubuntu.. [17:51] amd64 [17:51] puppen: 64 [17:52] hi guys, i have gnome3 environment on Oneiric, and i experience some strange screen flashes (usually 2-3 flashes in one second time) when i click Activities or when empathy find some feed updates (why i disabled it) and when going with mouse down right of the screen where i find notifications that i don't need (removable devices - mounted during boot; gsd-keyboard-xkb) [17:52] it doesnt mean its only for AMD [17:52] Cheers guys.. The amd bit kinda threw me.. [17:52] does anyone else has these flashes on gnome3 or there is smth wrong with my video driver or smth else [17:53] compdoc: Why is it called amd64 anyway ? Is it because AMD was the first to market 64-bit processor ? [17:53] cuz amd invented 64bit cpus that normal ppl could afford. Intel had the titanium, I think it was called [17:54] and how to disable these notifications? [17:56] Arm0ur: the instruction set these processors (amds as well as intels) comes from amd, thus the name. [17:56] + use [17:57] I just hope AMD can hang in there [17:57] nailora: I can't believe Intel agreed to that naming scheme. Thanks !

[18:29] One of the items attached was a network printer. [18:30] It sends network traffic using some kind of multicast so that it's discoverable. I thought I used a tool named "mcast" or something like that to see the discoverable devices on the lan, but I'm on this Ubuntu 11.04 box and that package/program isn't available. [18:30] hello guys [18:30] emcast doesn't seem to do what I'm looking for either. What app/program will let me see what devices are discoverable on a LAN? (I thought it was "mcast", but that doesn't appear to be it) [18:30] i was curious if someone can help me [18:31] where should i start in learning security in information security? what operating system and main principles should i learn? [18:31] cannonball: if they are doing a samba server. ive used findsmb, or smbtree in the past. [18:32] cannonball: you mean, like, what is displayed if you access network:/// in nautilus? Places->Network [18:32] cannonball: printers, windows file shares. [18:33] In this case, it was a network printer. It showed something like _tcp.canon-blahblahblah.local or something liek that. [18:33] Damn, I wish I was home so I could see what program I was using. [18:33] all: anyone good at getting an integer value from PHP date_diff function? [18:33] cannonball: I think system-config-printer also does printer discovery [18:34] Whenever I get an email, Ubuntu thows a notification box on my screen. I need to tell it to not do that. In older versions, there was a way to manage how the system notified me. Where do I find that in 11.10? [18:34] I'm on an 11.04 box now, but the one I was running it on is an 11.11 box, in case that makes a difference. [18:34] (I get a lot of email, so the little box is almost always there, preventing me from using that part of my screen.) [18:34] nemo: Note that I'm not trying to discover a printer, I want the command line app that shows discoverable devices on the network. I'm stuck on the phrase "mcast" but it's highly likely that it's something else entirely.

[18:51] I still am not convinced it's the same program I was usingn (don't recall a gui popping up), but it's definitely nice :-) [18:52] is this possible to make partition for usb? [18:52] !fat [18:52] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [18:52] hey, does someone know of a place with all the popular python packages compiled against python3, as downloadable debian packages? [18:53] malachair: if you are using the USB boot disc wizard, just specify the size there [18:53] i'm particularly interested in a psycopg2 python3 package to point someone at [18:53] malachair: system->administration->startup disc creator that is [18:54] i sent them a python3 program which uses psycopg but they're running ubuntu and say it's not in their packages (at it looks like it's not) [18:54] s/at/and/ [18:54] malachair: how did you create the usb boot device? [18:54] MahaVishnu: mzclient also looks roughly the same, but without the gui output that avahi-discover provides. [18:55] i'm on my desktop atm, and its win 7. i did format from win7 [18:55] and i'm using universal usb installer [18:55] from ubuntu's web site [18:55] malachair: m'k... never used it [18:55] now i format my usb stick to 1 gb [18:55] malachair: last time I made one from a windows machine, I just booted to ubuntu off a CD and used the wizard :) [18:55] :) [18:56] malachair, nemo is right its usless blog..langing around [18:57] :) [18:57] i'll try my all chance [18:59] malachair: this is a prob w/ old bios [18:59] yes it is :) [18:59] its one of my friends laptop [18:59] malachair: similar to my car's media player I guess, which refuses to read any usb thumb drive w/ more than 1GiB partition size [18:59] (assuming you have same prob I had w/ older laptops) [19:00] malachair, try it with the real provider http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [19:00] i got when i am starting gnome 3.2, 'Oo no, something is wrong, and system cannot recover', and i have options to disable some functions and Log Out button, but after doing that, i can't again login into Gnome ? [19:01] exit [19:01] exit [19:01] where can I save iptables rules so they reload on start? [19:01] s70rm: I don't think I had your precise problem, but once when screwing around w/ gnome 3 advanced settings (I think I was trying to theme it) I managed to totally blow it up [19:01] s70rm: I "fixed" it by blowing away all my gnome config dirs :) [19:01] .gnome*, .gconf* etc [19:02] nemo: what means that [19:02] nemo: my error i mean [19:02] s70rm: no idea. I'm just suggesting you could possibly "fix" it the same way I did [19:03] olk [19:03] s70rm: I just basically made sure I wasn't logged into gnome, switched to a terminal then rm -rf 'd .gnome .gnome2 .gnome2_private .gconf .gconfd [19:03] s70rm: if that doesn't work, you could try blowing away .local too, but that screws up more more of your personal settings than just gnome :-/ [19:03] is that possible to run linux setup from ms-dos? [19:04] malachair: lol. [19:04] ahahah :D [19:04] i'm thinking about everything :D [19:04] malachair: well. in a way, I guess... [19:04] malachair: you could dumpb a raw disc image to the machine [19:04] but. that's kind of... advanced [19:04] ya [19:04] I'd say stick w/ USB boot. safer. [19:05] if i want to block web sites from a network, would squid proxy work just as fine? [19:05] try to find a CDROM drive for USB if you can :) [19:05] ok, so i have been using lubuntu for like a week, i took it today to the coffee shop where i am nolw, and realized i needed to know the name of the network to use the wireless connection [19:05] i had to ask some for the name of the network to type into the ssid in the network manager [19:05] any suggestions on a tool to scan for networks without security? such as to find the coffee shop network? and without screwing up my working connections preferably... [19:05] malachair: also, there might be some settings in your bios WRT USB - can't hurt to check. [19:06] i can't get the grub boot menu to pop up, and don't get any display with these two ati cards plugged in [19:06] extio: this was a hidden network? [19:06] my screen says "grub rescue>" o.O wuts this? I had some hardware failure recently [19:06] hey all, i'm on windows 7 and having a helluva time mounting a virtualbox share [19:06] extio: one that was not broadcasting its name? [19:06] Hi rushing [19:06] no its just... lubuntu doesnt have a scanner i know of [19:06] hi marabi2 [19:06] seems like a server install wouldn't mess with the effing framebuffer in the first place [19:06] extio: there is a #lubuntu channel [19:06] is this live or netinstall we download from ubuntu web sitE? [19:06] how are you doing? [19:07] i know but theres no one paying attention... ok then... [19:07] frustrated :P i've made sure my user is part of the vboxsf group, i have guest additions installed, and i've been going in circles for a couple hours [19:07] helo: if you're not seeing the grub boot menu that seems a bit far from blaming linux :) [19:07] hope you fine [19:07] helo: does any display work before that? like, the usual boot/post stuff? [19:07] of course heh [19:07] i just ran the ubuntu install from usb [19:08] dr_willis, thanks that fixes my error [19:08] helo: ah. cool. ok. well. I know grub has a simple low res mode... [19:08] not that I know how to set it up or anything ;) [19:08] extio, sorry we don't work that way [19:08] * nemo checks the ubuntu community documentation on grub [19:08] its k. was just hoping. [19:09] helo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Resolution_Settings perhaps? [19:09] helo: but I thought there was one that didn't use fb at all... [19:09] nemo: there is no interface that i am presented with at all to change anything [19:09] i would be able to set vga=normal nomodeset if i could get _anything_ [19:09] hi nemo, how"re you doing? [19:09] helo: well. that's for once you actually boot [19:09] as it is, looks like i'm going to do a blind login from console and use netcat to get a remote login [19:10] im trying to use gnome shell(i guess) want to use this site to install extensions https://extensions.gnome.org but it says gnome 3 is not up to date [19:10] nemo: it's booting, but it isn't giving me any output at all [19:10] marabi2: this is the ubuntu support channel. Use #ubuntu-offtopic for social chat [19:10] are gnome 3 and gnome shell so totally different? [19:10] helo: yeah. but I mean, the fact you see nothing at the grub boot screen makes me think it has more to do w/ the new graphical grub boot [19:10] helo: which I'm guessing uses fb? I mean, how else to render pretty images instead of text [19:10] HI helo can we chat? [19:10] helo, ubuntu has a good support for ati (vesa) drives, atleast you should know amd has stoped the support for ati .. === OffToHades is now known as BarkingFish [19:11] marabi2: this is support channel, not chat [19:11] it's ok, i have my remote netcat bash going now :) [19:11] helo: heh. looks like there's a config option for console grub [19:11] helo: of course you'll have to get in first [19:11] # Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only) [19:11] #GRUB_TERMINAL=console [19:11] helo: then you'd have to do update-grub I guess [19:12] helo: and. yeah. why that isn't default on a server... [19:16] hell yeah [19:16] original one is working [19:16] :D [19:17] nemo: thanx [19:17] malachair: w/ 1GiB partition? [19:17] nope 4 gb :D [19:17] oh. interesting [19:17] Hello is there any way I can forward my fn keys to wine? [19:17] malachair: just needed to recreate it? [19:17] yes but with original [19:17] hello nemo how"re you doing? [19:17] ah. bad boot image then [19:18] pim: Such as? Wine will likely have no reaction to them because it doesn't really support emulating most of em... Some might of work, and if they would they will right out of the box [19:18] yes [19:18] theadmin, i am running foobar2000 in wine, I want to be able to use pause/play and next/previous from my keyboard [19:19] with banshee I can, since gnome accepts it as a mediaplayer [19:19] Hi. How do I get better colors with a black on white background for my terminal? Most of the colors are very light. [19:20] nascentmind: by editing .Xdefaults [19:21] aeon-ltd, I changed black on white there. What about changing all the light green to dark green? Can it be written there? [19:21] nascentmind: yes [19:21] nascentmind: here for more examples and copy/pastable configs https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=51818 [19:22] alternatively I could use a native linux mediaplayer [19:22] however, i haven found one like foobar2000 [19:22] very very configurable [19:22] and able to sort files according to folder structure, rather than album/artist etc === Mud is now known as Guest54824 [19:26] clementine can do that too, iirc [19:26] hi Nour [19:26] hello daz [19:26] sup [19:26] marabi2: this is support channel, not chat [19:27] is there anyway to synchronise time on port 80 or some other port?

It only copied a few and then told me the device is full. When I df, it really says it's full but when I use nautilus, select all the folders, it says it's only full at 50% of the capacity...

[20:10] should i put it in /media/windoze? === whop is now known as Guest81109 === Guest81109 is now known as Whopper [20:11] y u all so vhost? [20:11] neersighted, no but you will have to make the folder with sudo since its at root and chown it to the user:group you want to mount it under. [20:11] i wrot dmsg but nothing about dvd or cd [20:11] MahaVishnu: Already did :P Even got the fs tab working with nothing but nano and a few guesses [20:11] intuition FTW! [20:11] neersighted, thats what im talkin about pimpin. [20:11] Is there a way to upgrade apache2 quicker on Ubuntu 10.04? [20:11] :p [20:11] sudo apt-get upgrade? [20:12] packets don't always seem up to date with the latest [20:12] hmmm [20:12] I mount the system in a USB using the instructions provided in ubuntu website, using a program called Universal-USB running in window. this is the good way, isn't it? [20:12] * neersighted updated his server just for the latest nano [20:12] KEYBINDS! [20:12] Can I use it for mounting lubuntu? [20:12] nep1x_: What do you want to mount? [20:13] nothing at all [20:13] hi I've just installed a VPN server on a machine for some basic testing, I'm finding that I can connect fine but cannot access the rest of the network, I'm assuming IPTables has something to do with this, could anyone help? [20:13] nep1x_, there is wubi.exe in lubuntu is it [20:13] MahaVishnu: Oh yeah, can I continue to mount ubuntu.iso to media/cdrom, or should i burn a copy [20:13] Has anyone here sucusuffly migrated from wubi to a full-dual-boot? [20:13] Shizuo16 thats not a good sign. like I said ubuntu is not seeing that drive. idk why but you said you just used it to boot a live-cd sorry idk whats wrong with it exactly. [20:14] Shizuo16: Does gparted see it? [20:14] Anyone? [20:14] neersighted, its a cd-rom and lshw isnt seeing it so gparted wont. [20:14] dvd-rom * or rw. [20:14] yeah i can, i have checked it, ok I am gonna install lubuntu 11.10 with Universal USB [20:14] mount no sorry, install the image .iso in a USB stick to install the OS in my notebook without CD-ROM [20:14] neersighted, make some sense man [20:14] lol [20:14] how can I list the size of each top level folder only? Like when I ls -a, I would like to know the size of each directory in a listing without having to list all sub dirs? du ? [20:15] hey guys, is there a way to repair file permissions for the whole system? [20:15] Exxon: Has anyone sucussfuly migrated from Wubi with windows on the MBR, to linux/windoze on seperate partitons with grub on the MB [20:15] *MBR [20:15] * neersighted wants to see if there is anything he needs to look out for [20:15] been googling for a bit but havent come up with anything just yet [20:15] Bugs, glitches, horror stories, ect [20:16] JGAN when it happened, I had to recreate a new profile [20:16] No [20:16] can't see it also with gparted :/ [20:16] neersighted, wubi is designed to boot on the mbr there is no doubt ..its only to test can the user get along..along enough then can switch ..simple [20:16] * neersighted goes to tweak his screenshot upload script [20:16] JGAN however, I manually corrected my permissions for Thunderbird and that took me a while... I don't think there is.. sorry [20:17] Exxon: Yeah, except wubi has no migrate-to-dedi-install button [20:17] how can I list the size of each top level folder only? Like when I ls -a, I would like to know the size of each directory in a listing without having to list all sub dirs? du ? [20:17] ubuntu1: ok, yea i did it under root to my whole drive [20:17] I had to manually transefer files/edit fstab/etc [20:17] is something wrong with my usb-hdd? plz have a look at this: http://nopaste.info/794a4cc447.html [20:17] ubuntu1: du -sk show size in kilobytes [20:17] Oh no, forget it JGAN! I had just done it to my home folder and I was toast so you are REALLY toast [20:17] yea haha [20:17] why the same hdd is sdb and sdb1 ? [20:17] ubuntu1: so.. du -sk * [20:17] Thanjs oCean [20:17] neersighted, there is no migration stuff on wubi..it only the new user [20:18] is there an option such as repair install? [20:18] ubuntu1, du -S [20:18] Not that I'm aware of JGAN. Just create a new profile and move your data in the new profile [20:18] Exxon: Exactly [20:18] alright thanks ubuntu1 [20:18] I had to "hack" my way to a dedi install [20:18] Nothing att all [20:19] Now I have burg, dualbooting Ubuntu/Windoze for me [20:19] <3 [20:19] * neersighted is in love with his computer right now [20:19] JGAN: I don't believe there is such possibility in Ubuntu. rpm based distro's actually provide an option to restore to default permissions - but that's no good to you now :( [20:19] neersighted, use dd or clonezilla to clone your drive incase you mess up. [20:19] JGAN if I were you, I would disconnect from the internet because depending what permissions you granted your system, you might get some exploits that mught destroy your data. Sign off internet and recreate a new profile [20:19] i already did [20:19] With no backup [20:19] JGAN do you understand what I mean? [20:19] Liek a baws (tm) [20:20] lol [20:20] ubuntu1: yea [20:20] Wanted to se if anyone had done the same and had pointers/warning [20:20] looks like im the only one lol [20:20] everything is set as root:root :/ [20:20] JGAN you are probably open like an open door right now.. No security if you chmod 777 ooops! [20:20] neersighted, i've messed up my shiza plenty of times. thats why i keep a clonezilla backup of my entire ssd. [20:20] oh JGAN, so you just chown? [20:21] if i want to encrypt a file lets say ~/test.txt how can i do that in an easy way ? [20:21] well i chmod 700 too [20:21] chmod 755 not 777 [20:21] It was SO close tho, my sister saw partition magic in windows stuck at 27% of resizing my hdd. She almost did a hard shutdown it the midle of a disk resize [20:21] >_> [20:21] dont ask why i did this [20:21] JGAN: getting back to a normal situation is going to be a real pain [20:22] * neersighted keeps most of his important shiz on a server [20:22] yay for filezilla's double click to edit mode! [20:22] youre telling me... i didnt keep good backups either :/ [20:22] and yay for rsync! [20:22] JGAN, i think you have learned a valuable lesson here. and it's time for you to reinstall. [20:22] neersighted: please stop the random comments [20:22] JGAN, do a dd / clonezilla backup [20:22] kk [20:22] but would that backup the file permissions? [20:23] JGAN, its byte by byte so yea 1's and 0's [20:23] damnit [20:23] JGAN, and dd you can do it in 1 ez cmd [20:23] yea thats the same with sbackup [20:23] im probably just gonna do a whole clean reinstall [20:23] Is it at all pratical to use git to back up your ~? === Mud is now known as Guest10556 [20:24] JGAN listen, I'm sort of new to linux but I know that permissions are there to avoid viruses namely to execute or other exploits... You are 'probably' at risk. Just log off the internet and create a new profile. Whatever software is important to you, I mean it's data, move the data to your new profile and manually change the permissions (I did that with my thunderbird data located in ~/.thunderbird).. A [20:24] neersighted, i dont think so... [20:24] lot of data is located in your home folder, hidden so you need to ctrl H in your nautilus to see them or ls -al [20:24] * neersighted was thinking that with it would work well, if yor ~ was reasonably sized [20:24] i dont have anything of value on that system [20:24] ubuntu1: that's not going to help, because he did a recursive chown/chmod from root [20:24] just the regular files [20:24] and some docs/pics [20:25] multpul file version, fast transfer speeds, and the ablity to check out a different branch to hide secret files [20:25] hmmmm [20:25] I got a the "ASURO" it's an robot for beginner from the DLR and Robotkit. I connected the USB IR-Transceiver with my PC and typed in the command: sudo cat /proc/tty/driver/usbserial --> printed the following lines: usbserinfo:1.0 driver:2.0 0: module:ftdi_sio name:"FTDI USB Serial Device" vendor: 0403 product:6001 num_ports:1 port:1 path:usb-0000:00:1d.3-1 -->after that I install and start CuteCom and set the suitable values like: (Device, Ba [20:25] udrate...) --> but than appears the problem --> when I click "Open device" a window appears "Error: Could not open /dev/ttyUSB0" What can I do? [20:25] hi [20:25] yea i did chmod and chown recursively... real bad idea [20:25] neersighted: once more: stop the random offtopic remarks. If you have a question, ask it detailed in single line [20:25] okay. [20:25] can somebody paste my the /usr/share/xsessions/ubuntu.desktop file? I've overwritten it by accident [20:25] I know oCean. Me I did this just recursive from my home folder and it was a mess [20:25] me [20:26] ubuntu1: then you would know it has nothing to do with profiles [20:26] It's ok to do JGAN but ensure you are in a data folder with nothing underneath it.. like /Documents/datacrap [20:26] buntstift: http://pastie.org/2987739 [20:26] buntstift, paste is not valid [20:27] ? [20:27] My paste is invalid? [20:27] oCean oh yes! Gosh Ocean is right JGAN! nevermind.... Sorry.. I guesss he needs to reinstall everything eh? I mean a new install of ubuntu! oh!!!! [20:27] O_o [20:27] haha alright [20:27] http://pastie.org/2987749 [20:27] i will get to it later [20:27] Hmm [20:27] oCean.. I guess I know just enough to get myself in trouble as usual grrrr [20:27] neersighted, yes..but ..x..?? [20:28] Exxon: x? [20:28] thats mine [20:28] i just cat'd it, is it wrong? [20:28] that's how we learn JGAN. Learning isn't free! [20:28] neersighted: thank you very much! [20:28] payapl? [20:28] . [20:28] paypal? :) [20:28] buntstift: np [20:29] No, time to start kissing asses [20:29] :p [20:29] :O [20:29] I'm getting a package error...

After I recreated my new profile, I had remembered that I had mv all my data and docs from old_profile to my new_profile. My partition was small (35 GB) so the system kept warning me that I was down to 1.5 MB in my system. I then deleted old_profile to find out it had cleared 15 GB of space which got me to panick when I had realized I hadn't moved everything indeed! I even [20:32] told the system to delete everything (double oooops). So I guess there is no other way to try to recover this mess bit by bit, sector per sector right? [20:33] am I still connected? [20:33] no [20:34] ubuntu1: "recovering" from ext3/ext4 filesystems is not easy and not always possible. There are several tools such as foremost [20:35] right oCean... Would it have been easier with ext2? [20:35] ubuntu1: nope. The tip is: always backup [20:36] allora uso ubuntu solo che nn mi si vedono più icone sul desktop mi si vedono solo le 2 barre superiore e inferiore e sul ubuntu software center quando seleziono un programma mi spunta scarica e quando clicco nn sucede nulla [20:36] Yeah I know oCean..

MahaVishnu ocean [21:12] and more I mess up, more they mount up [21:12] ubuntu1, sudo apt-get install arc [21:12] the problem is that this script is in rc.local, so it runs everytime i boot and then i can't type anything [21:13] ubuntu1, arc -x /media/whatever/file.arc [21:13] and my short term memory is really bad MahaVishnu so... well that explains it [21:13] from a concussion [21:14] Rushing, did you configure scipt in rc.local [21:14] Ok let me try that MahaVishnu [21:14] mine is really bad too, from something I cant mention here [21:14] If it's frozen, really frozen, you might need to push the button manually. In the server, can you hit Ctrl+Alt+F2 to get to a virtual term? [21:14] Exxon, yes i did :x noob [21:14] MahaVishnu: where does it install all this on my hdd when I run on a live usb pendrive? [21:15] ubuntu1, to some temp folder I think prolly /tmp [21:15] Rushing, then simply remove it ; replace it when fully tested [21:15] Can someone help me with a File sharing Issue? [21:15] ubuntu1, that cmd is supposed to extract .arc archives into the current folder. so make sure there is room for 28gb of data. maybe more if its compressed. [21:15] Yes but on which partition MahaVishnu ? I will paste you my fdisk -l if you want [21:15] Exxon, how, i can't get to a terminal? [21:15] !ask| Natesky9 [21:15] Natesky9: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [21:15] the app im running takes of the terminal [21:16] ubuntu1, I don't really need your fdisk [21:16] Rushing: reboot off a live disk? [21:16] what do you mean? [21:16] i'm just f'ing stuck in a terminal after calling an app, and i can't get out of it [21:16] MahaVishnu: please don't laugh: http://pastie.org/2987968 [21:16] i'm back. let me take a step back. would you recommend doing this just for the sake of video or would it be smarter to just revert to xp [21:17] there must be a way...i'm gonna blow a gasket here [21:17] and/or is ubuntu the most appropriate distro for this purpose [21:17] ecfu please add the name of the person you are addressing [21:17] Rushing: does the server version let you press Ctrl+Alt+F2 to get to a virtual terminal? [21:17] i need to get out of the current process i'm in, then go back and fix /etc/rc.local [21:17] @alaing [21:17] Cuz I'm trying to salvage stuff on my fda6, so if it writes it's /tmp to sda6, I'm toast! MahaVishnu [21:17] Rushing: as in, you ran the app from the terminal and now you can't do anything with that terminal? [21:18] btw pastie is really good [21:18] hi, anyone can recommend me a good tuto on installing Ubuntu alternate 11.10, why alternate because i need all disk cipphered, i choosed lvm + ciph, but at installation lilo or grub2 fail to install.. i specified all the partition i think and not ok.. [21:18] JokesOnYou77, yes :D woo! tyty lol [21:18] Rushing, typing few command will really improve you typing skills then using a script that is really unwanted in rc.local [21:18] I have been trying to share Files from one computer to another, and I have not been able to view the Files on one Computer. I need help with setting a shared folder. I've tried twice already and searched all over the web, but I can't seem to get thi files [21:18] Rushing: you're welcome :) They're called virtual terminals, and in combo with screen and byobu, they are your best friends :) [21:19] so the way to do this is to just put "sh "? [21:19] ecfu: seems a bit over kill just for video [21:19] in my rc.local [21:19] Natesky9 which OS'es? [21:19] that's what i think too [21:19] Ubuntu 11.04, Both, except one is 64-Bit [21:19] Rushing: That one, I don't know, Exxon? [21:19] Can anyone help my with plymoth/x? [21:19] Natesky9 do you get any error messages? [21:20] maybe there's a way to get thing to run better with the setup i have [21:20] ecfu: have you tried using virtualbox and emulating a system? Althought with your spec i dont think this is good idea [21:20] Rushing, is it an app in /usr/bin ? === neersighted is now known as Guest90624 [21:20] For some reason, ubuntu boots with a low-res text screen, not a plymoth boot screen [21:20] ecfu: have you tried asking ##windows [21:20] that would be running a virtual system on top of win7 right [21:20] no, i was thinking of heading there === Guest90624 is now known as neersighted [21:20] it's in /home///bin [21:20] eww windows yucky [21:20] :) [21:20] ecfu: correct. [21:21] MahaVishnu: i know :P [21:21] Yes, I do. If I try to access the shared folder, it tells me that I cannot mount it. I also have a problem when i try to send a file to the same computer using Empathy, It tell me that the other user cancelled the transfer(on both of the computers at the same time) [21:21] that would just increase resource demands i think...i'll see what #win says [21:21] ecfu i would try get the video issue fixed [21:21] word [21:21] thanks for your help [21:21] anyone? [21:22] neersighted, pastebin /etc/default/grub [21:22] ecfu yes it does increase resource demands.

[22:02] let me see [22:02] fpu: geeqie is really lightweight [22:02] hmmm, i could have sworn i saw a "digital picture frame" app somewhere [22:02] neersighted, not only yours many are facing such ati is no more ..sry [22:02] Exxon: np, thanks for trying! [22:03] It's the thought that counts (I think) [22:03] all has to be done from command line, it's supposed to work in kind of interaction-less photo frame [22:03] shotwell installing, I'll check it out in a sec [22:03] fpu: from CLI, because then you need X, or just start from a term [22:03] neersighted: I'm not sure what you mean, anyway there is Xorg [22:03] cli mode [22:04] fpu: you might not need X there are image viewers for CLI [22:04] hi ctrl-alt-f1, or reboot with the "text" paramter passed through grub [22:04] it just has to be started from never-ending forever-looping script [22:04] a bash script? [22:04] histo: do you mean those sending images directly to framebuffer? [22:04] yes :) it'll be in bash [22:04] I bet if there was a libray for it, you could bouce them onscreen [22:04] auronandace, actually i have found a Gedit plugin that seems to do what I want, so that is good I like Gedit [22:04] I don't want to make it too hard, plus it will play videos too [22:05] so full Xorg it is [22:05] Whats the max icon size for notify-send? [22:05] anyone familiar with vsftpd? [22:05] eqwd: i'm not much of a programmer so mousepad or leafpad is good enough for me :) [22:05] having issues using pam authentication [22:06] Oh, and is there a paste manager that has a webpaster built in?

You're comments are really cluttering the channel. Try to keep your answers/responses in single line [22:10] fpu: What is the command to start the slideshow? oCean k [22:10] neersighted: geeqie started with -s option will start slideshow [22:10] shotwell doesn't have such option [22:10] okay [22:10] it's funny how a lot of times when a particualr question is asked you get swamped with suggestions to just do something else [22:11] lol [22:11] hehe === marrusl_ is now known as marrusl [22:11] anyone played with mobile broadband?

How do I fix this? [22:21] This is what i had...

[22:24] fpu, neersighted, #bash channel would be more appropriate place [22:24] neersighted: the slide show does not end with geeqie [22:24] I need resolving the power management bug that causes my laptop to suspend/shutdown when the AC power is unplugged. I've had this issue with every laptop I've ever installed ubuntu on (at least a dozen?), it's hard to believe this bug still hasn't been fixed. [22:24] okay!

[22:45] webnet: without the "!" :) [22:45] auronandace: http://pastie.org/2988375 [22:45] my other information sources stay quiet.. so I guess ubuntu doesn't have any take on development of graphic-heavy applications explicitly to ubuntu.. [22:45] |Long|: you should be able to... google the model number and ubuntu after it that is sure to give you at least something [22:46] webnet, that partition is 106 GB [22:47] StepNjump: that all adds up to 52 g [22:47] you think so much of others.. but leave thinking of yourself for others.. [22:48] Oh I'm confused webnet. If you look at my first pastie.org, the home says 82 G I think and then when you look in the two profiles, it adds up to much less [22:48] StepNjump: especially in /home, there might be (large?) files in hidden directories (starting with a dot, like .VirtualBox) [22:48] Yes I know oCean but those should show up on the totals, no? [22:49] StepNjump: not in du -sk * but try du -sk .* [22:49] oh really! Ocean.. didnt know that [22:50] <|Long|> webnet, thanks [22:50] StepNjump: or cd .. and then again du -sk * [22:50] That's funny.

[22:52] imbezol: never [22:52] oCean: exactly.. so why .*? [22:53] ok Ocean... I did that because another guy prefered pastie.org earlier on today [22:53] I'm using ubuntu 10.04 but cannot view citibank with firefox [22:53] StepNjump: sorry.. did what? [22:53] oCean: Use pastie i think [22:53] imbezol: to find the size of the hidden directories, separately? === daz_ is now known as Guest75291 [22:54] StepNjump: ah well, many pastebins can be used [22:54] oCean another guy who helped earlier asked me to use pastie.org so that's why... Ok I might drop off.. I realized that weechat seems to be mounted on the partition I am trying to salvage. I will umount the partition. If I drop, you will know why! (running on a live USB) [22:55] oCean: guess that works if you want to wait for it to tally .. [22:55] yep [22:56] imbezol: well he was looking for where the memory was going so tallying hidden folders is kinda necessary [22:56] if I changed my dual boot ubuntu to the 64bit version, would I need to uninstall the 32bit version? [22:56] du -sk .[a-zA-Z0-9]* === Guest33422 is now known as LargePrime [22:56] Ok nevermind, looks like it installed on another partition.. So I just learned that before installing new apps from a live USB or CD, I need to make sure everything is dismounted first! [22:56] hello [22:56] imbezol: well, that too - it was a quick paste :) [22:56] BernSamson: Nope. Install over it. It has its own partition, just write over it [22:57] BernSamson: Unless you are trying to save the 32bit install... that complicates things just a bit... [22:57] so just run Wubi again with the 64 bit iso...and nothing will really change ouside having the 64 bit? [22:57] hmmmmm... [22:58] BernSamson: all data in the ubuntu installation will be lost [22:58] BernSamson: You may want to boot the install cd/dvd... i fear that wubi would resize the windows partion and create ANOTHER ubuntu install so you would have 2 ubuntu installs... [22:59] so I'd have to reinstall kvirc, chromium, flash object handler...and other misc updates [22:59] oCean, I guess there is no way to find out what's in this .encryptfs unless I find my passphrase eh? [22:59] BernSamson: Yes... [22:59] hi, im on 11.10 and I've installed apache2. I don't want apache to send its signautre so i put "ServerSignature Off" in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf and restarted apache. but it still sends its signature. I also checked if it gets overwritten in some vhost settings, but it does not. what else could be the problem? [22:59] BernSamson: Sadly its not possible (as i know) to change from 32 to 64 without a fresh install... [23:00] I could save my /home on ubuntu1, unistall it, and then run wubi with the 64bit iso [23:00] michael_: did you edit the /etc/apache2/conf.d/security file? [23:00] michael_: did you « grep -R Signature /etc/apache2/ »? [23:00] michael_: or put it in somewhere else? [23:01] i did not edit anything beside /etc/apache2/httpd.conf [23:01] BernSamson: Possibly... depends on how you do it.... Boot to ubuntu and mount the windows file system and move your home folder over... than uninstall and use wubi [23:01] michael_: like jrib says.. could be elsewhere.. do a 'grep -r -i serversig /etc/apache2/' [23:01] michael_: well you just got two big hints :) [23:01] webnet: would I have to worry about grub issues with that? [23:01] yeah indeed, I think I got it, thank you both very much! [23:02] if I wanted to start making music, are there any good apps for ubuntu?

[23:03] network manager shows "device not ready" under wireless, but my wireless seems to be working. anyone know what my problem might be?

[23:08] tnx jrib [23:08] i'm surprised. i always thought of this little guy as a solid linux machine until now [23:08] jmcantrell: try googling your model number followed by wilreless driver ubuntu... its possible its some driver that used to be stock that wen proprietary :( [23:09] hey guys, i am reading through man adduser and I am wondering. if i create a user with --ingroup someGroupHere will it still create a group for that user of the same name as the user? [23:09] webnet: trust me, i've been googling for hours [23:09] jmcantrell: i was afraid of that... :( [23:10] totesmuhgoats: if you use: adduser [insertusernamehere] [23:10] totesmuhgoats: it SHOULD do what you want by default [23:11] webnet, interesting. thanks. ill google some of those and take a look. [23:11] hi guys [23:11] webnet, i want to mix ontop of someone elses tracks..so ill probably use audacity to import their track. Then maybe use one of the other apps to make my own sounds on top of it. [23:11] webnet: well i need to create a user just for the purpose of connecting on samba and limiting what that user can access. I want that user to share a group with my normal user and in smb.conf i have placed some restrictions. So I don't need or want the user to have its own group or home directory [23:12] is it normal for right click to open a menu, then a click outside the menu to be ignored? [23:12] or should i use the --system option [23:13] osmosis: yeah. thats the way to go if that is wht you are trying to do. Jokosher is good same. its sorta audacity but more of a daw with sound plugins... personally tho, i could never get the jokosher sources to build! [23:14] totesmuhgoats: wait are you trying to make it NOT be in a group of the same name, like add it to an existing group? [23:14] webnet: yes [23:15] Join #rus [23:15] totesmuhgoats: OHHHHHHH! sorry misunderstood you the first time. I do believe --ingroup should work... let me try it real quick and see cause now im curious. [23:16] Join #Russia [23:16] webnet: no worries, I have a suspicion it will work, but since I don't fully understand users and groups yet I don't want to go around experimenting willy nilly [23:16] !ru | HNMP [23:16] HNMP: Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. [23:17] BernSamson: you shouldnt have a problem with grub. A new grub file is established after the install by the installer based on the currently installed OSes. if you write over the 32 bit it should make a new bootloader file that has correct info.
