[00:00] foul_owl: then wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf [00:00] penguin_03: All I know is that my monitor says "Error - signal out of range" [00:00] foul_owl: all sudo commands btw [00:00] tamale1, become one with the command line. [00:00] Barbariandude: I use this server 99% of the time from the command line, but that doesn't help when it doesn't boot at all [00:00] thanks! i will try that [00:01] foul_owl: all that gets the key into the card then just grab a ip with dhcpcd wlan0 [00:01] tamale1, ah, right [00:01] tamale1, do you still get that when you try to open a TTY session? [00:01] penguin_03: I can't open a TTY session [00:02] penguin_03: The numlock key works but that's about it. [00:02] foul_owl: the easy way to avoide rembering all the commands is make a sh script with those commands with your info [00:02] dhcpcd command not found [00:02] foul_owl: then dhclient [00:02] tamale1, have you recently installed any graphics drivers, namely propitiatory ones? [00:02] what args for dhclient [00:02] sudo dhclient wlan0 [00:03] penguin_03: No, the thing I did recently was lose a drive in my raid array. I took all drives out of the system and removed the array from /etc/fstab except my boot drive to simply things. [00:03] its doing dhcp discover to 255.255.255.255, that can't be right [00:03] new to ubuntu, want to set up remote login for gui interface --- can anyone point me in the right direction? client machine would be running windows 7 [00:03] shouldn't it be 255.255.255.0 ? [00:03] foul_owl: linux uses 255.255.255.255 [00:03] or like 192.168.0.1 ? [00:04] foul_owl: thats just the subnet its using [00:04] foul_owl: it get a ip [00:04] i think my problem is the wpa_supplicant step [00:04] tamale1, ah i would look there, you can chroot into the system via livecd/usb to get a working root shell [00:04] Barbariandude, Hmm, this feels like a trade-off :P [00:04] foul_owl: did it connect [00:04] penguin_03: How would I do that? (chroot) ? [00:04] I managed to get much better FPS in glxgears, but now my fan won't stop running [00:04] At full clip, that is. [00:04] foul_owl: wpa_passphrase mywireless_ssid "secretpassphrase" > /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf [00:04] FrozenFire, oh, it's not turning off your card right [00:05] penguin_03: Shouldn't I be able to bring the GRUB menu up to do a recovery session or something? I've tried holding shift while booting to no avail. [00:05] Yeah. [00:05] no, it keeps saying "EAPOL: SUPP_PAE entering the state disconnected" [00:05] i did that step [00:05] foul_owl: ip link set wlan0 up [00:05] i think there is some subtle option that I am not enableing in my config file [00:05] did that step first [00:06] foul_owl: wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf [00:06] yes i did that one next [00:06] and i get that error [00:06] Has anyone here used http://www.thinkgeek.com/dd1a/ on Linux? [00:06] Barbariandude, Well, let me try something. I was using xorg-edgers to get to get ironhide working better. [00:06] tamale1, i dont know how its setup, i always chroot in when i cant boot, yeah there are other ways, however i am unfamiliar with them, ill put chroot instructions on a paste site in a min [00:06] foul_owl: the pass goes the the "dfdfd" [00:06] I'll purge it and move down to the more stable ones. [00:06] heh, I have the same problem as FrozenFire on my laptop - finally got the video card working with the open source drivers (too old to be supported by FGLRX anymore), but now the fan won't stop spinning at 100% - does anyone know how to control the fan speed with the open source radeon drivers? [00:07] foul_owl: you dont leave them you [00:07] out [00:07] what about key_mgmt, proto, and eapol_version parameters? [00:07] FrozenFire, http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11223382&postcount=9 [00:07] tamale1, do you want your processor to melt? [00:07] no, i got the giant hex code in my config file generated from my passphrase sucessfully [00:08] foul_owl: you should not get a eroor then [00:08] error [00:08] Does anyone know how to share a mounted volume with the network using SMB? [00:08] unitheory: It's not even warm air [00:08] Barbariandude, It's hard to understand what he's actually saying... [00:08] hello I'm trying to update my java to the latest java (the updater is not doing so) so I went to sun java site, and downloaded: jre-6u29-linux-i586.bin but I don't fully know how to install this. Can someone help? [00:09] foul_owl: try sudo dhcpcd3 [00:09] foul_owl: i think ubuntu has that one instaled insteed [00:09] michaeljwjr: do chmod +x jre-6u29-linux-i586.bin && ./jre-6u29-linux-i586.bin [00:09] FrozenFire, basically that everything in bumblebee/stable works really well except it can't turn the damn thing off :P [00:09] george2, that device shouldn't require any software drivers [00:09] Rapido3011: Yes! I do, actually. You should be able to right click on the folder from within Nautilus and choose "sharing options" [00:09] doesn't have it [00:10] thats a binary (.bin) michaeljwjr -- it may be better to get the source code [00:10] Is anyone familiar with getting into GRUB/GRUB2 from a borked install? I can't bring it up by holding shift or esc [00:10] Barbariandude, That's a bit annoying :P [00:10] Maybe I'll figure out how to do it manually. [00:10] but with it you'll get a file that says README giving you instructions on how to install it miahceljwjr [00:10] foul_owl: then do dhcp and tab see what it has [00:10] binary (.bin) is already compiled [00:10] dhclient and dhclient3 and that is it [00:10] all of them are .bin, http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp?locale=en [00:10] foul_owl: try dhclient 3 then === max is now known as Guest82302 [00:11] Barbariandude, Frozenball sorry to bust in like this, but your discussion seems to intersect my problem. I have a hybrid Intel/Amd laptop which I can't get to configure no matter what. Do you know of any successful experiences? [00:11] no space [00:11] still nothing [00:11] if you download the .rpm file michaeljwjr and install it with "rbm -ivh (filename)" it will probably install [00:11] foul_owl: you shure it doesent have a ip [00:11] i think we need to isolate the problem to either dhcp or the card connecting [00:12] after the wpa_supplicant step, but before the dhcp step, how do i confirm the card is connected [00:12] foul_owl: type iwconfig wlan0 [00:12] FrozenFire, mine is working just fine, intel nvidia. Your two options are ironhide or bumblebee. Try one, see if it works, if not try the other. Most people seem to have more success with bumblebee [00:12] gotcha, let me try that [00:12] foul_owl: if the cards on the roughter it will show the ssid [00:12] tamale1, for chrooting http://fpaste.org/E971/ [00:12] find out if your system is 64 bit or 32 bit by issuing "uname -a" -- if the blurb out of that has "64" in it you have a 64 bit system - get the 64 bit rpm michaeljwjr [00:13] Stupid network. unitheory: did you say anything else? I just lost my connection. [00:13] Barbariandude, Yeah, as I mentioned, bumblebee actually seems to be *working* [00:13] It's just the power management [00:13] george2, nope [00:13] I'm fiddling with some calls right now [00:13] yes but you see the asterisk? It says to use 32 bit for the web stuff. [00:13] prodigel, mine is working just fine, intel nvidia. Your two options are ironhide or bumblebee. Try one, see if it works, if not try the other. Most people seem to have more success with bumblebee [00:13] Ok [00:13] penguin_03: Thanks, I'll take a look at this. I'd feel much more comfortable if I could just boot into a recovery terminal though :( [00:13] alright, after the wpa_supplicant step, it does NOT show the ssid [00:13] so the problem is with the card connecting to the access point [00:13] ok - then get the 32 bit version [00:13] heh, I have the same problem as FrozenFire on my laptop - finally got the video card working with the open source drivers (too old to be supported by FGLRX anymore), but now the fan won't stop spinning at 100% - does anyone know how to control the fan speed with the open source radeon drivers? I should note that the air coming out of the laptop is cool. [00:13] I'll just try the TG thingy then. I can always return it. [00:13] FrozenFire, fail on my part talking to the wrong person :P [00:13] foul_owl: yep did you type the correct key [00:13] prodigel, https://launchpad.net/~bumblebee/+archive/stable [00:14] i typed the correct key [00:14] foul_owl: rember the " stay [00:14] yeah, no quotes [00:14] MonkeyDust: i try to execute X but i got this error, no screens found, can u help me? i need to modify the xorg.conf file but how? === george2_ is now known as george2 [00:14] foul_owl: yes on quotes [00:14] can't you just load java as a plugin on firefox michaeljvjr [00:14] yes on the quotes? [00:14] Barbariandude, not it's too late for me. Stuck with ati, should've read more before buying the laptop :( [00:14] Barbariandude, s/not/now [00:15] oh, looks like wpa_passphrase generates the same key either way [00:15] prodigel, have you tried both? [00:15] i have wpa2, if that matters [00:15] foul_owl: wpa_passphrase additional_ssid "mypassword" > /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf [00:15] tamale1, that essentially is one and its handy in situations where you cant boot such as fs corruption, kernel panic and whatnot, also bear in mind that there are other ways that is just _my_ preference :) [00:15] rhin0 i am trying to get bastion working in chrome. I have chrome 16 (beta build) and am trying to update my java to see if that gets it working. [00:15] that is the exact command i am using [00:16] penguin_03: whoa, I think it worked. Now, what can I do to actually FIX the problem? Maybe just dmesg first? [00:16] tamale1, id shed some more light on recovery terminals if i used them/knew something about them all i can do there is point you to documentation [00:16] Barbariandude I don't think bumblebee it's compatible with ati cards [00:16] tbh - havent had to load java for anything for months -- just fiddle around -- read docs -- maybe look on ubuntu forums - google for it michaeljwjr [00:16] ok thanks [00:16] wpa2 personal, it is set to tkip or aes on my router [00:17] tamale1, start with gathering information and back up anything before you modify it [00:17] foul_owl: ok might need to restart being some stuff might still be backrounded [00:17] How to reset gnome 2 panel to original ? [00:17] can i just do some killall -9s ? [00:17] penguin_03: Everything important was on the raid array [00:17] penguin_03: the system drive isn't really that important. [00:17] i do a killall -9 wpa_supplicant each time [00:17] foul_owl: do killall dhclient to [00:18] foul_owl: then wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf [00:18] sudo [00:18] penguin_03: I just did 'dmesg' and the last two messages look bad.. one says "(sda) VFS: Can't find ext4 filesystem" and the other says (sda2): Mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null) [00:18] foul_owl: and see if you get a with dhclient3 [00:18] prodigel, even if it isn't, it'll be helpful in turning the card off so the onboard is usable atleast [00:18] tried that [00:18] foul_owl: or do iwconfig wlan0 to see if it took [00:18] remember, the problem is that the card isn't connecting to the access point at all [00:19] How to reset gnome 2 panel to original ? [00:19] foul_owl: same error hua [00:19] yes. [00:19] Hello. I have (had) a software raid5 array of 4 drives . mdadm refuses to start the array because there areonly 2/4 drives. --examine reveals one drive was marked "faulty removed" 2 days ago and i didn't notice. But the other missing drive is merely "removed". Is there any harm in trying to add it back? [00:19] do i need to specify tkip or aes in my config file? [00:19] Can I "rebuild" my /etc/fstab file somehow? [00:19] foul_owl: do you got it online at all [00:19] or do i need to pass any special parameters to wpa_passphrase [00:19] no, i can't get it online, that is the problem [00:20] foul_owl: even wired? [00:20] adamuu: YES. I did exactly that and lost all my data a few months ago. You need to be extremely careful about how you add, re-add, or 'assemble' your array back together. [00:20] i do not have physical access to the router [00:20] foul_owl: what was error again [00:21] EAPOL: SUPP_PAE entering state DISCONNECTED [00:21] i execute X and i have this vertical lines, could it be the frecuency in the xorg.conf file? [00:21] EAPOL: KEY_RX entering state NO_KEY_RECEIVE [00:21] foul_owl: mabe the driver lack wpa2 [00:21] foul_owl: are you sure yours is wlan0 as mine is eth1 [00:22] tamale1: Thanks. glad i asked. Any other advice on how to proceed? [00:22] mine is wlan1, i got the iface right [00:22] card used to work before network-manager-gnome totally broke [00:22] foul_owl: ah [00:22] ubuntu newbie here... how close to upstream are the ubuntu packages? [00:22] someone suggested i uninstall that package haha and here we are [00:23] adamuu: My advice is to either play around with the tools with some thumbdrives or spare hard drives until you're comfortable with them, or find someone who's already a pro to help you out. [00:23] foul_owl: yea wicd is a good alt but you need to be online [00:23] tamale1, and /var/log/messages ? [00:23] penguin_03: Empty. [00:23] ლ(ಠ益ಠ)ლ Simplenote, Y U NO have a single native Linux client?! [00:23] foul_owl: wait what version you running === daveb_ is now known as croepha [00:24] the new ubuntu 11.10 is slow on dell e1505 laptop what i do to make it faster thanks [00:24] anybody know how to disable "wicd" in oneiric [00:24] tamale1, what is the contents of /etc/fstab is it trying to boot from what you want it to? [00:24] adamuu: All the guides I read online made it seem like all I had to do was run "add" to get my last array back in shape, but this immediately started re-building a brand new array with the drives, rendering all my old data gone forever. [00:24] lucid [00:24] wait a second [00:24] i execute X and i have this vertical lines, could it be the frecuency in the xorg.conf file? [00:24] foul_owl: lol lucid [00:24] does ssid !=essid ? [00:25] lucid is the LTS! [00:25] the new ubuntu 11.10 is slow on dell e1505 laptop what i do to make it faster thanks? [00:25] foul_owl: lucid does not use ip link to start your card lol [00:25] foul_owl: do ifconfig wlan0 up [00:25] lol [00:25] penguin_03: Well, it looks OK, but it says "sdd" in /etc/fstab, but in the currently-running session from the live usb it's "sda" [00:25] sudo [00:25] yeah thats in my script, no problems there [00:26] :( [00:26] i do ifconfig $iface down [00:26] iwconfig $iface mode Managed [00:26] foul_owl: you just told me its wlan1 [00:26] ifconfig $iface up [00:26] its a varible i set in my shell script [00:26] $iface = wlan1 [00:26] hi, does anyone know how to port forward using webmin? [00:27] then i do a killall wpa_supplicant, then that wpa_supplicant command you suggested [00:27] :? [00:27] !webmin | o85 [00:27] o85: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [00:27] dose any one know why 11.10 is slow on my dell e1505 laptop [00:27] foul_owl: if you can run a wire it even another pc we could get online enough to install wicd [00:28] foul_owl: using ics [00:28] tamale1, you can set it to the UUID of the device you are trying to boot from to avoid confusion ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ to find it UUID=UUID_GOES_HERE / ext4 .. [00:28] foul_owl: or just say fuck it and upgrade lol [00:28] hmmm, i have a laptop with an ethernet jack [00:28] foul_owl, did you see my q [00:28] ? [00:28] foul_owl: perfect is it xp or 7 [00:28] ok [00:28] how do i configure that laptop to act as a router [00:29] its ubuntu again haha [00:29] foul_owl: easy enough go to the network manager [00:29] Does anyone know how to share mounted filesystems with the network in Ubuntu 11.10 ? [00:29] foul_owl: set up a manual wired and in the ip setting set it to shared [00:29] Barbariandude, You're my hero. I must tell you that. [00:29] gogoeta did you see my [00:29] penguin_03: It would appear after chrooting I don't have /dev/sda anymore [00:29] ? [00:29] gogeta: after you are done helping fowl-owl I need some help with wicd [00:29] After a bit of tweaking, I got it both working with my discrete graphics, and able to turn my card off. [00:29] gogeta, did you see my q [00:29] raymondjtoth3: no [00:30] gogeta, the new ubuntu 11.10 is slow on dell e1505 laptop what i do to make it faster thanks [00:30] tamale1, did you bind /dev to the chroot? [00:30] penguin_03: Uh.. I'm not sure. [00:30] raymondjtoth3: most of the new windows managers are just memery hogs [00:30] alright, i will try using my laptop as a wired router here haha. if i have any problems i will be back. thank you all so much for the help!!! [00:31] gogeta, hpow i fix this thanks im in 2d mode [00:31] gogeta That laptop is really old [00:31] foul_owl: it should do fine most new eaternet cards can go crossover without any spical cables [00:31] tamale1, it would have been (as root, outside of the chroot) mount -o bind /dev /mnt/somedir/dev [00:31] Rapido3011, mine [00:31] raymondjtoth3: on a old machine use a alt distro like ibuntu they have lighter window managers [00:31] lubuntu [00:31] or xubuntu [00:31] <_0x783czar> Question, how do I disable the auto-generated MOTD and have ubuntu use a regular plain-text MOTD? [00:32] gogeta can i wich the interface to it for 11.10 ubuntu === rymate1234 is now known as rymate1234|away [00:32] ? [00:32] raymodnjtoth3 Wut? [00:32] where /mount/somdir is your mounted installation [00:32] penguin_03: Gotcha, ok this time I did it. [00:32] Rapido3011, my laptop is older [00:32] raymondjtoth3: yes ther are ubuntu with diffent window managers you can add them on yor install if you wish [00:32] raymodnjtoth3 So? [00:32] gogeta, can i wch over to it form ubuntu 11.10 [00:32] raymondjtoth3: yes [00:33] gogeta, what one you recamend me installing?? [00:33] raymondjtoth3: http://lubuntu.net/ [00:33] your ls command isn't working - I have no 'by-uuid' subdirectory under /dev/sda2 [00:33] gogeta: you mentioned to fowl-owl about installing wicd, I have wicd installed and using it now but the ubuntu software center does not recognize internet connection [00:33] raymondjtoth3: on a old box that it runs like a champ on my netbook [00:33] gogeta, i want to witch interface my dvd-rw rom broken [00:33] right now [00:33] sandjkirkland: wicd and the stock network manager conflict [00:33] what i do thanks [00:33] _0x783czar: the motd is generated from the files in /etc/update-motd.d/, if you chmod -x all the files there except 99-footer you can put your text in /etc/motd.tail [00:34] penguin_03: I'm an idiot. I thought you meant to replace "disk" with my disk.. got it. [00:34] raymondjtoth3: ok then just do sudo apt-get install lxde [00:34] tamale1, ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ ot should exist [00:34] ah [00:34] raymondjtoth3: then slect it from your session manager [00:34] then how i use it gogeta [00:34] were i put password right [00:34] raymondjtoth3: yes [00:34] !resetpanels | tuxforprez [00:34] tuxforprez, please see my private message [00:35] ok brb [00:35] penguin_03: Ok, verified that UUID is definitely what's in /etc/fstab... so now I'm truly stumped. What can i try next? [00:35] <_0x783czar> trism: so if I do that, all the auto generoated text will not be shown and I will be left with only the text I put in the motd.tail file i create? [00:35] penguin_03: Would it be best if I simply re-installed? [00:35] _0x783czar: yes [00:35] I'm somebodies hero! Whoot whoot :D [00:36] sandjkirkland: you cant have both of the network managers installed they will conflict and not work [00:36] tamale1, if you dont have any data there that you care about, possibly [00:37] tamale1, you may want to keep some of your configuration files for applications [00:37] sandjkirkland: many where using wicd becouse in lucid the network manager applet would bug and go inviable there is a fit to that bug if you get it [00:37] <_0x783czar> trism: so I can never seem to keep the chmod options straight. using the -x will do what exactly to those files? remove permisions so the system cannot use them? [00:38] :(\ [00:38] tamale1, are you using the current LTS? [00:38] foul_owl: any luck with the wired [00:38] hola [00:38] !es [00:38] En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [00:38] oh, i need to find an ethernet cable haha, could take awhile [00:38] _0x783czar: yes, remove the executable bit, they need to be executable to run [00:38] penguin_03: No, I'm using 11.10 [00:38] i will be back later if no success. thanks for the help!! [00:38] i wll install wicd [00:39] foul_owl: lol as i said most new cards will go into crossover with the need for a speical cable like before [00:39] without [00:39] gotcha. im corssing my fingers. my laptop is one of the new netbooks [00:39] What's this "boot-repair" I'm hearing about and how could I try that? [00:39] foul_owl: pretty mutch anything build after 2000 [00:39] Does anyone know how to share mounted filesystems with the network in Ubuntu 11.10 ? [00:39] foul_owl: my netbook does crossover fine [00:39] tamale1, you may want to consider using the current LTS, 10.04.3 its considerably more stable than the every-6-month releases, though some of the software on it is aging [00:40] sweet. thanks again! [00:40] penguin_03: Thanks for the advice [00:40] foul_owl: on the client pc it should just auto confgure [00:40] Anyone? [00:40] penguin_03: Crap, I can't re-install grub because I don't have networking inside my chroot'd shell - can I fix this?? [00:41] tamale1, thats considering you are using it as a server, you also may want to consider using the server version as X is a _BIG_ security hole and can cause a lot of other unwanted problems, it is however convenient [00:41] tamale1, you can run update-grub or update-grub2 [00:41] Does anyone know how to share mounted filesystems with the network in Ubuntu 11.10 ? [00:41] penguin_03: as long as x is not using any sort on dm its not a big deal [00:42] penguin_03: so its only up when in use [00:42] "The program update-grub can be found in one of the following packages: [00:42] of [00:42] hello :> a while ago i had to switch from ubuntu because of a bug that caused a kernel panic when you used the "safely eject" option for a usb drive...does anyone know if the kernel that fixes this bug has been pushed out in the updates yet? i'd really like to go back to using it again [00:42] <_0x783czar> trism: thank-you! [00:43] gogeta, only up while in use is considerably narrowing the attack window but X still is a big hole and should be reduced or avoided in server environments [00:43] prower: cant say i never had a pc oanic using eject [00:43] panic [00:43] when i enable ufw, will it block my ssh port? [00:43] o85: ou can always unblock it ufw is easy enough [00:43] you [00:43] gogeta: hmm...well, what's the current version of the stable kernel for 11.10? if it matches the test kernel that the bug was fixed in i should be safe [00:43] o85: localy its not blocked [00:44] prower: use live eject a usb device see if it blows up [00:44] (like uname -a would probably be enough to figure it out :>) [00:44] Does anyone know how to share mounted filesystems with the network in Ubuntu 11.10 ? [00:44] tamale1: It is very odd that you don't have the grub-common package installed (which contains update-grub). Did you remove this package yourself? [00:44] gogeta: i can't at the moment as i'm not running ubuntu [00:44] gogeta, it also depends where your weak point is, if you use AppArmour, for instance then X problems become your weak point [00:44] gogeta: only have ssh access to the machine [00:45] Jordan_U: yes, I just uninstalled it [00:45] gogeta: probably would have to pay some support guy at the datacenter 20¤ just for locally unlocking the port^^ [00:45] tamale1: Why? [00:45] Jordan_U: in an attempt to fix my boot drive [00:45] o85: ssh localy in the defult config is not blocked but over the net it is [00:45] tamale1, it should have networking access if the live media is able to access the network [00:46] o85: yep [00:46] penguin_03: It might have networking, but it definitely doesn't have DNS.. I can't ping google.com [00:46] gogeta: ok when i do a "ufw enable" i won''t be able to connect anymore? [00:46] could anyone who isn't too busy run uname -a under 11.10 and let me know what the output is? i know which kernel fixes the bug, just not the version that's currently available [00:46] ist there a way to add ssh before enabling ufw? [00:46] tamale1, another common problem is that sometimes there is no valid namesever in /etc/resolv.conf [00:46] hello i have problems with a nvidia target [00:46] mi card is lspci | grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV44A [00:47] o85: probly not but i dunno if it will cut connection aruldy made [00:47] gogeta, i moved to lde desktop and dont see sound how i get that back like ubuntu had [00:47] o85: i think you can set the rules before turning it on yes [00:47] do you know how? [00:47] gogeta, understand me [00:47] penguin_03: That did it - I put 192.168.0.254 in /etc/resolv.conf and now I can get grub again [00:47] raymondjtoth3: same thing at login slect something else from session [00:48] penguin_03: apt-get install grub --fix-missing is working :) [00:48] gogeta wht other one recamend to me [00:48] i see bunch in there [00:48] raymondjtoth3: are you in lxde now? [00:48] raymondjtoth3: it should be alot faster [00:48] tamale1, hopefully it will work for you again :) glad i could help [00:48] how does one figure out why a filesystem would suddenly mount as read only instead of read write [00:48] gogeta, im in light waight desktop [00:48] and dont see sound or haave sound [00:48] penguin_03: Ok, run update-grub one more time and then reboot? [00:48] how i get that back [00:49] tamale1: It's unfortunately wrong. You want "apt-get install grub-pc". [00:49] raymondjtoth3: it should chck to see if its muted [00:49] check [00:49] gogeta, how i do that [00:49] i donmt see it on task bar\ [00:49] i dont know this ldex [00:49] or what ever called [00:50] gogeta, what i do thanks ubuntu desktop saw it [00:50] Jordan_U: why's that? This seems to have worked.. I just ran "grub-install" and it seems like it did something [00:50] raymondjtoth3: you can do alsamixer [00:50] raymondjtoth3: but should be a vulom icon to the right [00:50] how i get that [00:50] tamale1: The "grub" package contains grub legacy. Ubuntu currently uses grub2, which is from the "grub-pc" package. [00:50] raymondjtoth3: from any console [00:50] i dont see volume at all [00:50] on right [00:50] how i install that gogeta [00:51] Jordan_U: ugh. === Dorito is now known as Dorito_ [00:51] Is there a way to force the system to recompile the kernel? And yes, I really do need to :P [00:51] Somehow, somewhere, a module got compiled in that just won't go away, and it needs to. === Dorito_ is now known as Dorito [00:52] gogeta, how i do that thanks install it [00:52] FrozenFire: What problem are you actually having? [00:52] raymondjtoth3: did you use sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop [00:52] raymondjtoth3: you should already have ` alsamixer `, just open up a terminal (probably lxterminal, if you're using lxde), and type in alsamixer [00:52] hey, i just install project-open on my laptop. and for some reason i need to remove it. i install using step from here http://www.project-open.org/documentation/install_ubuntu badly i forget to write log. [00:52] raymondjtoth3: thats the compleate package with all the ectras [00:52] extras [00:52] Jordan_U: It would appear you were right - I'm at a 'grub>' prompt now after rebooting.. [00:53] Jordan_U, I'm pretty sure that when I was running xorg-edgers packages, it compiled the binary nvidia kernel in somehow. Right now, it's stuck as a "permanent" module. [00:53] Jordan_U: not very helpful :[ [00:53] I need to be able to unload it. [00:53] raymondjtoth3: o figured just the wm would work guess not [00:53] i [00:53] I suspect that if I recompile the kernel, it'll fix this problem. [00:53] hi, is there a graphical replacement for write command? [00:53] could someone check if its posible to allow ssh before enabling UFW? [00:53] hi, is there a graphical replacement for write command? that users of the same system can use to message each other? [00:54] tamale1: At that prompt run "kernel /boot/grub/core.img" hit return, then run "boot". Or just chroot in again from the live install and install grub-pc. [00:54] Jordan_U: I'm trying grub-pc ;) [00:55] o85: it seems thats the case you can pass commands before enabling [00:55] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW [00:57] gogeta: alright, the connection works [00:57] and i can ping my router [00:57] but i can't ping google [00:57] foul_owl: your firewall might need to be pned [00:57] opned [00:58] foul_owl: if the host machine is set for other pcs connect or shared howevere they word it [00:58] foul_owl: it should let you use the other box to get online [00:58] firewall on my netbook? [00:59] foul_owl: just try apt-get install wicd [00:59] I got two warnings - "Attempting to install GRUB to a partitionliss disk or to a partition. This is a BAD idea.." [00:59] gff [00:59] tamale1: it goes on the mbr [00:59] and "Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use i discouraged." [00:59] can't resolve package repos [00:59] foul_owl: is the host box set as a icd? [00:59] something dns related? [00:59] ics [00:59] gogeta: come again? [01:00] which box the host, and what is an icd [01:00] foul_owl: the one thats the roughter needs to be set as other pcs connect o this connection [01:00] to [01:00] its totally dns related, i can ping google if its just the IP [01:01] foul_owl: normaly that setting fixxes dns issues [01:01] so i have my netbook acting as a relay, and then i have my broken computer [01:01] help, i just got vertical lines when i execute X [01:01] yea [01:01] which computer needs to be modified [01:02] foul_owl: the relay in the network settings delete all the wired settings then add a new one in the ip settings slect other pcs use this connection [01:02] did that [01:02] foul_owl: then reconnect it [01:03] i made a new connection just for the relay [01:03] m4v: [01:03] Baby, baby, baby ohh [01:03] Like [01:03] Baby, baby, baby noo [01:03] Like [01:03] Nineain: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

I can ping it from my laptop!! [01:03] hi , when is the support of xubuntu 11.04 ending ? [01:04] no i see open box lu somthing [01:04] and other [01:04] raymondjtoth3: might need a full reboot for it to take full effect [01:04] i did your full desk with extra one [01:04] I still can't see anything on the monitor though :( :( :( [01:04] gogeta, i just rebooted [01:04] (Ohh wooaahhh) x3 [01:04] You know you love me [01:04] I know you care [01:04] Just shout whenever, [01:04] And I'll be there [01:04] Nineain: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:04] whaty i chosse\ [01:04] You want my love [01:04] now [01:04] tamale1, that may be a start [01:04] ldex i did your full desktop command [01:04] raymondjtoth3: whats on the list [01:04] with extra [01:04] penguin_03: I can ssh in, thank GOD [01:05] im on laptop [01:05] raymondjtoth3: it should still just say lxde [01:05] hols on [01:05] foul_owl: any luck with the dns [01:05] I think I should start by completely removing any proprietary video drivers.. how can I do that? [01:05] no, how do i flush it or update it or whatever on my broken computer [01:06] foul_owl: normaly this works but your getting a dns issue [01:06] tamale1, it should be well-documented on the fourms and wiki [01:06] penguin_03: Ok, I'll take a look. [01:07] foul_owl: is the broken pc set to auto [01:07] there is no network manager on the broken pc, that is the problem [01:07] foul_owl: oh lol no dhclient eth0 [01:07] how can I disable "show window contents while draggin" [01:07] and or while moving [01:07] do [01:07] it got a dhcp lease just fine [01:08] gogeta, i see gnome/openbox and lxde and lubuntu and lubunu netbook and openbox what i see [01:08] what i chose [01:08] tamale1, if you didnt use the package manager you will have to track down whatever you installed it with and hope it has an uninstaller [01:08] raymondjtoth3: slect lubuntu [01:08] anyone ? when will a normal release of Ubuntu end its support ? [01:08] ok brb [01:08] tamale1, if you did use it you should find plenty of useful info on the fourms/wikis [01:08] hi [01:09] I tried to connect to my monitor (my tv that I use as monitor ) with a HADmi cable [01:09] I cant see anything [01:09] black and black everywhere [01:09] what to do? [01:09] just installing ubuntu 11.10 64bit, why is my IDE drive being detected as SCSI? [01:09] gogeta, ty now on it [01:09] raymondjtoth3: all working now [01:09] testing [01:10] raymondjtoth3: when you fix your drive lubuntu is a iso you can get alot nicer for a old box [01:10] help, i just got vertical lines when i execute X, how can i fix this in the xorg.conf file? [01:11] Peyam, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/HDMI [01:11] penguin_03: Looks like a program called "startup manager" would be helpful, but I don't know how to run it from the command line - it looks like it's a gui app [01:11] working now [01:11] ty [01:11] how i open sound thing [01:11] anyone? [01:11] raymondjtoth3: sould be on the toolbar on the right [01:12] tamale1, what type of card do you have? [01:12] no i want ti set mic in sound [01:12] it's a really old geforce [01:12] in on bottem [01:12] raymondjtoth3: dubble click it it would show everything [01:12] GeForce 7025 [01:12] nforce 630a [01:13] ok ty [01:13] brb [01:13] tamale1, dpkg --get-selections ill show you all of the installed packages [01:13] penguin_03: I can use that command. I can't see anything. [01:13] *will [01:14] foul_owl: disconnect the relay from wifi and back again [01:14] Peyam, what was it connected to before? === scott_ is now known as Guest38332 [01:14] penguin_03: same TV. I use my tv as a monitor [01:14] foul_owl: if your getting a dns conflict get the broken box to get the dns irst heh [01:14] I have win 7 installed [01:14] foul_owl: then grab wicd [01:14] first === Justasic_ is now known as Justasic [01:15] can someone here help with ubuntu 11.10 server 64bit install? my IDE HDD is being detected as scsi during partitioning but its not. SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) 40GB ATA ST340016A. [01:15] one word of warning with wicd though, software center with oneiric does not see internet connection with wicd, at least mine doesn't [01:15] Barbariandude, Any idea why I might be unable to write to /proc/acpi/call directly, despite running it as root? [01:16] i can't get my ubuntu netbook to recognise my android phone [01:16] tamale1, dpkg --get-selections | grep nvidia then remove them with apt-get remove package-name [01:16] penguin_03: Ok, I'll give that a shot. [01:16] how do i get ubuntu to recognise my android phone please? [01:16] FrozenFire, what error is it spitting out? [01:16] Barbariandude, Permission denied [01:16] huh [01:16] sudo echo '\_SB.PCI0.POP2.PEGP._OFF' > /proc/acpi/call [01:17] Funny enough, if I open the descriptor in nano, I can write to it o.O [01:17] Hmm, if I sudo -s (ascend to root), it works. [01:17] Apparently it just doesn't like sudo [01:17] Peyam, HDMI probably wont "just work" i recommend using a VGA or DVI connector to get it set up using HDMI or doing the configuration over ssh [01:18] FrozenFire, maybe this? http://www.computing.net/answers/linux/permission-denied-as-root/10181.html [01:18] ok i copied the network manager deb over with ssh. hopefully reinstalling the network manager will fix my problem, or at least be enough to get me wired connectivity to install wicd haha [01:18] Barbariandude, I figured it out, though the reason for it isn't clear. [01:18] penguin_03: I have VGA but i dont want to see. i wana hear as well [01:19] foul_owl: you need network-manager and network-manager-gnome [01:19] how do i change my nick? [01:19] both are also on the ubuntu cd [01:19] Guest38332: /nick watherever [01:19] cd drive doesn't work haha [01:19] penguin_03: I tried "nvidia-xsettings" first and it looks like that worked.. I'm finally rebooting AND getting a working login session.. I can't thank you all enough! :) :D :) :D Now, if only one of you were experts with mdadm too, maybe i could actually recover my data :( [01:20] FrozenFire, according to that link, the file permissions need to allow what you're trying to do as that user regardless of sudo or not [01:20] peyam its probably something simple at mute, when I upgraded to oneiric my sound setting was muted automatically [01:20] xangua: thanks [01:20] Hello, anyone know why my ubuntu system has a file in my home directory called "sent" that is almost 1GB? What is this for? [01:20] foul_owl: heh [01:20] sandjkirkland: I can't see anything. [01:20] Barbariandude, Hrmm [01:20] Peyam, you probably need a working display first https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/HDMI and one on sound http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-2wxd1d0Tg [01:20] hi [01:21] ive been asking on the forums about the cd drive issue since september, but no luck so far [01:21] im thinking about chucking this computer out the window [01:21] im try to add language [01:21] Hello! How are you supposed to install ubuntu? [01:21] how does one figure out why a filesystem would suddenly mount as read only instead of read write [01:21] penguin_03: I thunk the best solutsion is to uninstall the crap [01:21] how do i get ubuntu to recognise my android phone? [01:21] Noliec: ubuntu.com instructions are there [01:21] Guest38332: it doesn't mount¿ [01:21] To be more precise, you (I), can not open the "install Ubuntu 11.10" [01:22] but im getting something like " the report belongs to a package that is not installed" [01:22] Noliec, easiest way is to download unetbootin and put a live version on a usb stick [01:22] I get a loading marker for a few seconds, then goes away. [01:22] I did get unetbootin and follow accordingly, still does not work [01:22] i cant enter the update manager as well [01:22] xangua: no, i plug it in, select mass storage, and nothing happens on my computer === Guest38332 is now known as scottaj [01:23] any help please?:) [01:23] tamale1, unfamiliar with mdadm, i can point you here http://man-wiki.net/index.php/8:mdadm and here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID [01:23] Noliec, you booted to USB using BIOS? [01:23] I did [01:24] What hardware do you have? [01:24] Got no OS's at all installed. [01:24] penguin_03: I think I'm going to need an expert. Last time I tried to recover from failed drive in my RAID5 array I lost everything :( [01:24] guest38332 when you plug it in do you get a (usb connected) [01:25] Barbariandude, AMD Cpu dualcore 3ghz~, samsung something 500gb hdd, 8800gtx vidcard, 4gb corsair mem [01:25] guest38332 if you do, tap usb connected on phone, you will get a message that says mount, don't mount [01:25] tamale1, http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man5/mdadm.conf.5.html may also be helpful [01:25] Not precisely sure of everything, It should not be a problem as my computer worked fine just some hours ago. === Energybender_ is now known as Energybender [01:26] guest38332 tap mount, you also have to usb debugging turned on on phone [01:26] How do I tell ubuntu to start ssh *after* all network interfaces have been initialized? Right now it does the opposite: sshd starts much earlier and then keeps restarting on each interface going up. This makes reboots terribly slow: I have 64 IPs on this machine. [01:26] These Optimus graphics are utterly retarded. There's apparently no way to turn them off except to give them some 3D data to render, and then stop doing so. [01:27] There are no ACPI calls that I can find which will address this hardware. [01:27] The only solution I've found is to optirun glxgears for a few seconds. [01:27] hello [01:27] Then it turns off the fan :P [01:28] new to irc [01:28] is every email sent by sendmail or mutt process added to a sent file? [01:28] scattaj, sorry did not see name change [01:28] * Guest89140 is bonky [01:28] Guest89140, Welcome to the world of Yesterday! [01:28] :P [01:28] FrozenFire, Rofl! Well, atleast it works :D lmfao [01:28] huh [01:28] and tomorrow [01:29] Anyone know if there is a common problem with installing ubuntu 11.10 from usb-stick? [01:29] Not that I know of [01:29] Noliec, just had a quick dig around, didn't find anything [01:29] That is sad news :( [01:29] The 64-bit install hangs if you choose the live cd [01:29] Noliec: No, and in general it's more efficient to state what problem you're having if you are. [01:30] Well, I don't really know the problem since Ubuntu is not stating anything. [01:30] if you're installing it on a netbook I would suggest a lighter alternative though [01:30] Lubuntu, crunchbang, etc [01:30] ekontsevoy, you might have more luck on #apache [01:31] E.g; clicking on the exe.(?) Install Ubuntu 11.10 does not lead to anything but a loading marker for a few seconds. [01:31] scattaj: did you get it your android to work [01:31] Oh, you're on window. Can't help you there, sorry [01:32] <``PeeR> lol [01:32] <_numbers> anyone aware of a linux file organizer library thing? ideally like picasa's ability to scan drives, recognize file types, and provide an easy way to navigate them? i've got like 6TB of personal data i don't particularly want to upload to the cloud [01:32] * Guest89140 is bonky [01:32] <``PeeR> on windows and goes to #ubuntu to get help [01:32] you meab Wubi Noliec ¿¿ [01:33] there was a time when you knew nothing, be nice. [01:33] anyone know how to get ubuntu to mount my android phone? [01:33] scottaj, you need to have usb debugging selected on your android phone [01:33] Install ubuntu on a hard disk --> Ubuntu loading screen for a half a minute --> Installation failed, The installer encountered an unrecovarable error. A desktop session will now be run so that you may investigate the problem or try installing again.

I want to partition my External HDD and add a FAT 32 section for PS2 Backups (only format it likes). When I went into gparted it told me it couldn't read the file system. I unmounted it and went to information again. Said I needed to run chdsk /f on a Windows PC. I gave my brother the HDD and we went and ran the check disk optoin inside the propertes menu. When it was done I came back and tried plugging it in. It now will not mount and [01:43] says to "run chdsk /f and reboot TWICE!" My brother won't do that though. Is there a way I can do this on Linux w/o Windows? [01:43] Perhaps it's time to go buy some apple(s) tomorrow. [01:43] Noliec: Did you check the md5sum of the iso you downloaded?

[03:58] k,diferent question,my linux partition is ext4,primary.how can i set a logical swap?will that need to the linux partition to be extended instead of primary? [03:59] urlin2u, it was not helpful. they just talked about the way how bad this idea is. i am not asking thier opinion or decision. its decided already. i want to do it. and now the questioon is 'how'? [03:59] nm-applet does not show up in system tray, yet it is running and I have a system tray. any ideas? [03:59] Has anyone gotten Bastion working in their chrome browser in Ubuntu 11.10 yet? [04:00] Abhijit, actually read bodhi and hermans posts that is how its done, its not a gui plug and play scenario. [04:00] k,diferent question?can i make a primary partiton become extended,without damaging the partition? [04:00] urlin2u, i read. they are talking about script. this is not a good way to do it. anyway thanks for talking [04:00] mr_pacman, nope [04:01] mr_pacman, what is in the swap you want to save, to be honest your not really making sense, exsplain your gols. [04:01] Hi, so for some reason my laptop won't boot from CD, despite me changing the BIOS settings to boot from CD, and I don't have a flash drive readily available, is there another way? I was told to avoid the Wubi installer because Ubuntu is going to be my main OS. [04:01] goals* [04:01] can i make a primary partiton become extended,without damaging the partition? [04:01] msween00, you can try a network boot [04:01] !pxe | msween00 [04:01] i think the answer is nope [04:01] :-( [04:01] mr_pacman, You can copy a partition to an extended one, but not simply make it extended. [04:01] pxe is what im looking for? [04:01] mr_pacman, to change a partition type one is deleted then the other created. [04:01] msween00, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DisklessUbuntuHowto [04:02] thanks [04:02] damn it!:) [04:02] Abhijit: page won't load.. [04:02] wait [04:02] nevermind [04:02] theare are 3 more links [04:03] mr_pacman: Yes (if you really meant primary to logical within an extended partition), though it depends on circumstances, is not easy, and things could be more complecated if it's a Windows boot partition. [04:03] msween00, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallMultiDistro and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallServer [04:03] msween00, have you tried f12 to get to the post bios bootfrom gui [04:03] urlin2u: i tried hitting F12, but it didn't register [04:03] no,it's not the windows partition,is the linux one...i installed linux as primary,not extended..the goal is o make the linux primary become extended [04:04] msween00, yes pxe is what you need [04:04] heh looks like i have a lot of reading === edwin is now known as Guest94129 [04:04] msween00, have you looked on the web for other key prompts for this gui, some computers use esc, some a couple of keys. [04:04] how can i do that?create a new extended and move the linux into it? [04:05] mr_pacman: To clarify terminology, you can't have a filesystem on an "extended" partition. Extended partitions hold logical partitions, and fileystems can be either on primary or logical partitions. [04:05] is there an ubuntu games channel? Or any good source of linux games? [04:05] urlin2u: it's just a blank screen, esc gives me some boot choice, but only OS's.. has win7 listed nothing else [04:05] !games | michaeljwjr [04:05] michaeljwjr: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php and http://www.penguspy.com/ [04:05] also netboot doesn't seem very practical for me.. i'll just wait till i can grab a flash drive [04:06] michaeljwjr, playdeb.net [04:06] and hope that works [04:06] Jordan_U,i understand...extended is just a place holder,is not an actual partition...to fill with logical partitions...what would be the difference to make logical or primary inside the extended? [04:08] mr_pacman, you can't make a primary partition inside an extended partition... only a logical one... but the logical behaves the same in practice [04:08] i see,ty bucky,s inside the extended goes only logicals [04:08] yes! [04:09] mr_pacman: One way that I can think of to do it, which leaves a lot of room for human error and bad things, would be to open fdisk, note the starting and ending sectors of the current partition, "delete" this partition entry, make a new extended partition entry, then make a new logical partition entry and make sure that the new logical partition entry has the same start and end sectors as the old primary. [04:09] mr_pacman: After doing this you will also need to re-install grub. [04:09] i see,ty [04:10] hey [04:10] Jordan_U, i think he's got 10G tied up in swap and he wants to use it for his file system or maybe he wants to put his /home down there so he can save it in the event of a re install [04:11] or maybe just do a backup,format all,rebuild partiton,than restore the dump [04:12] hi guys! i have a problem with ubuntu 11.10 and ati radeon 6470. My cooler/fan never stop. I'm echo OFF to vgaswitchroo on boot already [04:12] mr_pacman, or just use gparted to shrink sd4 and let / breath a little [04:12] mr_pacman: Just using fdisk has the advantage of taking almost no time as none of the data contained in the partition needs to be copied. [04:12] hey how do I install open ssh in back track 5? [04:13] indystorm: #backtrack-linux [04:13] dude thanks!!! [04:13] Jordan_U, the partition he wants to turn into an extended is sda4 and is just swap [04:14] Hey guys, just have a quick question regarding permissions on a mounted samba share. So here's what I have server A running freebsd with a samba share exposed, and server B running ubuntu 11.04. I've mounted the samba share as /storage in server B by editing /etc/fstab and filling out the permanent mount entry. [04:16] If on server B I make changes to the permissions to the mount point /storage, say from root:root to everyone, will my changes affect only the permissions for users on server B, or will the actual permissions set on server A be affected? === columbidae is now known as THE_SKY === THE_SKY is now known as THE_SKY_ [04:17] What is the defaul ubuntu document font? [04:18] PART #ubuntu I eat babies [04:18] In other words, does changing (if possible) the permissions on the mounted samba share affect only the local users, or does the permission changes affect those on the remote share? [04:20] Hi. Say, as part of a script, I want to have unidirectional folder syncing. Unfortunately, the files are big and the source computer might lose network connection often, so I'd prefer if the tool could continue from approximately the cutoff point rather than start from scratch each time. I'd also want it to be nonambiguous to a script on the sink computer whether or not the file was fully transferred (having a .part extension, for [04:22] WHAT_UP, , got cut off at extension, for [04:22] bazhang: (having a .part extension, for instance, would be fine).

I have several torrents on it that I know have peers, but it doesn't seem to connect to the tracker at all. [04:24] i got it installed and ready for a dual boot with windows 7 but whenever i go to boot to ubuntu it gives me a black screen [04:24] Hi [04:24] i already looked around for a few hours for a solution but i still cant find anything [04:24] @war1ok i have a problem with it not booting from large hard drive === irccloud99 is now known as bor22 [04:25] i have a 750GB HDD [04:25] i heard there's a problem with grub which means it only boots from the low ????gb [04:25] (128?) [04:26] ceti331, its not grub but older ide drives that have that limitations [04:26] ceti331: you'd get a boot error then not a black screen [04:26] ah ok [04:26] WaR1oK: does a live boot cd work? [04:26] @urlin thats the situation I personally have [04:26] i installed it using the 2 step method with wubi [04:26] ceti331, what is the graphic card on the computer with the black screen [04:26] WaR1oK: as in, if you boot into the ubuntu cd without just installing it, can you run from there?

[04:30] i just want to install ubuntu with the least work possible i have the 11.10 64bit ISO already and i have wubi and ive been working for about 4 hours now trying to get something other than a black screen upon boot [04:30] the minor inconvenience is that after having installed a nonworking ubuntu i always have to manually select windows to boot the machine [04:30] ircclouder: just sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 on one machine and 192.168.1.2 on the other [04:31] ircclouder: assuming eth0 is your interface. just ifconfig -a to have a look [04:31] ceti331, what is the boot error you get? [04:32] should i just use a lower version of ubuntu? [04:32] here's the config wolfric: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/519120/ [04:32] with the exception of ancient network cards, it should auto switch the network cables around but if they're very VERY old, you'll need a cross over cable if you're directly connecting them together [04:32] wolfric: did that [04:32] ircclouder: did what now? [04:32] i'll check.. [04:32] wolfric: mii-tool does auto negotation with full-duplex 100basetx [04:33] wolfric: no no that was the exact thing I did :) [04:34] ircclouder: what have you got for the other machine network config? [04:34] helo [04:34] http://bit.ly/uPBolO [04:34] ircclouder: also, gateway is pointless, leave it out. Unless 192.168.1.1 is actually routing traffic to the internet [04:34] wolfric: it's set to 192.168.1.1. the rest is the same. [04:35] route could be an issue [04:35] hmm [04:35] and why on earth are you setting the mac address staticly? [04:35] ok i'll just set it to be whatever [04:35] ircclouder: and have you...tested it? What's going on [04:35] wolfric: gimme 10 mins :) [04:35] thanks [04:35] run wireshark on the interface by the way to get a better idea if what's going on [04:36] wolfric: good point about gateway [04:36] wolfric: ok [04:38] @urlin "…init-plymoth main process terminated" … then a blank screen with a cursor [04:38] Just to make sure I'm not missing out on something. If I have a box which works fine, and only network access to it. There isn't much I can do with it untill I've got Ubuntu installed? [04:39] I've a linksys router, how do I make sure that my ubuntu box always get 192.168.1.111 ip? [04:39] Andy-: what do you mean o.O [04:39] And the problem is that my machine is behind a virtualbox [04:39] Andy-: you mean there isn't much you can do without an operating system? [04:40] pythonirc1011: change the ip range that you give out with dhcp and set the ubuntu box to static ip [04:41] pythonirc1011: there may also be an option to set restricted ip addresses [04:41] as in "this ip cannot be used for dhcp" but all the addresses around it can. If not sure just use like 10 to 110 or some range that goes up to just below the ip you want [04:42] wolfric: I think I've narrowed down the problem further...My windows box is getting a static ip. My ssh port is now forwarded to the windows box. What I want to do is forward that ssh port to my virtualbox guest - ubuntu [04:42] any ideas how I can do this [04:43] i've no idea what you're talking about tbh, what does "my ssh port" refer to? [04:43] oh you mean port forwarded by your router? [04:43] ok - I've a linksys router -> windows machine -> hosting a ubuntu box [04:44] I want to ssh from outside this network into the ubuntu box [04:44] just change the ip in nat/port forward to use the ubuntu machines ip not the windows ip [04:44] anyone know how to modify boot order in grub [04:44] doesn't matter it's in virtualbox. your router doesn't know the difference [04:44] ceti331: which grub verison? 2/3? [04:44] the problem is to make virtualbox trap the ssh packets and forward them to ubuntu [04:44] pythonirc1011: no that isn't a problem [04:45] pythonirc1011: oh wait... when you start up your virtualbox ubuntu instance... bottom right cornor? you should see a networking symbol [04:45] yes [04:45] just checking now.. [04:45] 1.98 [04:45] right or right click or something and see what it's set to. If it's set to nat, change it to bridged adapter [04:45] maybe i should just try a recent install [04:45] wolfric: it's a Attached to NAT connection [04:46] pythonirc1011: change it to bridged adapter and it should get an ip in the same range as your windows machine [04:46] hello everyone.. i am new to linux and i really need help. i just installed "Pinguy OS" and I am getting an error... i "paste binned" it. -- http://pastebin.com/bkCqXMU8 [04:47] pythonirc1011: then it will be as if it was plugged in the same way your windows machine is. No different to having a dedicated machine instead of virtualbox as far as networking goes [04:47] i have no idea what is going on.. but it looks bad [04:47] and i need to fix it [04:47] Anyone know how to remove grub from windows? [04:47] qwebirc50389: this isn't #PinguyOS. try #linux or the Pinguy OS website [04:47] ceti331, gurb has nothing to do with windows [04:48] wolfric: I have... and no one is responding :) [04:48] eeck... i meant :( [04:48] please just take a look and tell me an idea? [04:48] i mean, once you've booted windows is it possible to remove grub [04:48] from within windows [04:48] wolfric: i can see the ping coming from 192.168.1.1 to ubuntu [04:48] 15:48:23.942973 IP 192.168.1.1 > 192.168.1.2: ICMP echo request, id 62066, seq 39, length 64 [04:48] it has to do with software sources? [04:48] wolfric: no echo reply from ubuntu [04:49] ircclouder: which machine/ip are you running that from? [04:49] When I type sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt && sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda it says "mount: you must specify the filesystem type", Ubuntu is on /dev/sda3 and I'm trying to reinstall grub on /dev/sda [04:49] ircclouder: and which machine/ip are you pinging from [04:49] wolfric: that's from the other machine (192.168.1.1) [04:49] 192.168.1.1 -> 192.168.1.2 [04:49] ircclouder: call .1 machine a, .2 machine b.

You have to register your nick and identify with the name server in order to talk there [04:51] When I type sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt && sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda it says "mount: you must specify the filesystem type", Ubuntu is on /dev/sda3 and I'm trying to reinstall grub on /dev/sda, can anyone help me? :( [04:51] wolfric: but... can you help me? [04:51] ircclouder: ok good so the packets are getting through [04:51] qwebirc50389: no i don't know anything about that os sorry [04:51] @all - i am having 2 audio socket and 1 external mic socket.... i suddenly noticed that my centre audio socket is not working.. though its working in windows.. i have dual OS .. i am currently on 11.04 [04:51] wolfric: it is ubuntu tho? [04:51] qwebirc50389: no ubuntu is a different operating system [04:51] oh... [04:51] wolfric: yes it is however machine b is not sending ping echo reply to machine a. [04:51] ugh [04:51] Vustom specify file system type [04:52] ircclouder: ifconfig -a on machien b [04:52] ircclouder: and pastebin [04:52] Vustom, did you format with ext4 ? then mount -t ext4 [04:52] bucky: Hatori: In gparted it says /dev/sda3 is extended, but there [04:53] does ubuntu support this processor? [04:53] 's like a dropdown box, with /dev/sda5 and that's ext4 [04:53] BX80524P466128\ [04:53] and then under that is /dev/sda6 which is linux-swap [04:53] It is an old intel processor [04:53] wolfric: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/519127/ [04:54] Hatori: bucky: Is this correct? sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda5 /mnt && sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda [04:54] Vustom, i can't remember if gparted tells the filesystem type... try mount -a [04:54] ircclouder: what happens if you try ping back from machine b to machine a? [04:54] Past it with -t flags [04:54] -a is auto ...it will try to guess if you don't know [04:54] bucky: It does.. it's right next to the parititon area, says ntfs, fat32, etc [04:54] Hello Penguins [04:55] wolfric: i don't get the ping replies back to machine b. although wireshark shows that machine a has indeed sent the reply back. i'll show what i mean [04:55] Glad to see yall. [04:55] :) [04:55] * Phr0zen_Pengu1n is happy. [04:55] wolfric: 15:51:12.617353 IP 192.168.1.1 > 192.168.1.2: ICMP echo request, id 62066, seq 206, length 64 [04:55] .... followed by .... icmp: echo reply [04:56] (well, i can't paste from machine a0 [04:56] Vustom, what is your filesystem on that partition... I thought you were trying to mount /dev/sda3 not /dev/sda5 ..which one? [04:56] machine a) [04:56] @all - i am having 2 audio socket and 1 external mic socket.... i suddenly noticed that my centre audio socket is not working.. though its working in windows.. i have dual OS .. i am currently on 11.04 [04:56] sda5, I got it wrong, and it's ext4 [04:56] ircclouder: forget about ping replies for a sec [04:56] Vustom, ok mount -t ext4 yada yada yada [04:56] ircclouder: so on machine a, you send a ping... you run wireshark on machine b and see the ping but that same machine you're running wireshark on (machine b) isn't responding? what happens if the whole thing is in reverse [04:57] k, that worked, thanks bucky and Hatori :) [04:57] ircclouder: run wireshark on machine a, ping machine a from machine b and see what happens. [04:57] Sup? [04:57] ircclouder: also iptables -L -v and make sure you're not blocking icmp [04:57] wolfric: good idea. one moment. [04:57] ircclouder: because actually... they sound like they're connected [04:57] Great works vustom [04:58] ircclouder: because you wouldn't be able to ping the machine if it didn't already get the mac address... (seeing that they're on the same subnet) [04:58] you'd get no route to host and constantly see arp lookups [04:58] so it sounds like they are talking just no responding to ping [04:59] Hello everyone. Is it just me or is 11.10 show as can be? Thinking about downgrading to 10.10 [04:59] Nando.why? [04:59] nando: just you [04:59] nando: it's buggy but (and i assume you did misspell here) slow? No not that i can see [04:59] Hatori, wolfric what hardware are you guys running? [04:59] nando: and i'm biased against 11.10 even so if it was, i'd definitely say it [05:00] question [05:00] jen_: answer [05:00] why does my computer keep making an annoying clicking sound? [05:00] nando: how specific do you want [05:00] jen_: go to youtube and search for click of death. make sure it doesn't sound like that [05:00] jen_: if it does, it's a sign your hard drive is failing/failed. Is it coming out of your speakers? [05:01] wolfric: here's the situation. ping a from b. wireshark on machine a, echo request and reply are going out from a but never receiving on b. [05:01] wolfric, well lets just say this.. I ran 10.10 perfectly smooth. And now this is crashing like that OS of which we do not speak LOL. Its a Pentium M @ 1.something with 1GB RAM and plenty of HD space... [05:01] oh god [05:02] nando: report a bug then [05:02] it might... [05:02] * Phr0zen_Pengu1n never knew IRC was this much fun. [05:02] jen_: back up your data FAST... [05:02] its been doing it for a while :O [05:02] ircclouder: don't run wireshark on the same machine you're pinging from [05:02] why i just got this computer this year! [05:02] ircclouder: you told me you were running on machine b and pinging from machine a [05:02] wolfric: i didn't [05:02] wolfric: heh. [05:02] jen_: then it should be under warrenty. Backup data and send it back [05:03] wolfric, IDK what it is. Its just slow as crap. Its laggy and its a fresh install. Ive installed twice.. Perhaps had to do with the fact that I have full drive encryption? [05:03] wolfric: running wirehsark on the .1 [05:03] ping .1 from .2 [05:03] ping request,reply going *out* from .1 but never seeing it on .2 [05:03] I doubt that >.< [05:04] forza barcelona :p [05:04] ircclouder: when you say echo request and reply going on, just put the source or destination in there to help me keep track.. do you mean if you ping from .2 to .1.... .1 responds ? [05:04] maybe it will stop [05:04] nando: go back to 11.04 but report the bug [05:04] is there link .. i want to read changelog between 10.4.2 10.4.3 ubuntu [05:04] jen_: lol no your hard drive will go kaput [05:04] ? [05:04] jen_: although i have to say, usually when it's the click of death, your hard drive is already dead. Can you record the sound? when does it happen? [05:05] anyone [05:05] wolfric, Ive never reported a bug before IDK how. But what do I tell them? IDK what is causing the problem. [05:05] wolfric: pinging .1 from .2, request coming in, reply going out on .1 but .2 never sees the reply. [05:05] ircclouder: iptables on .2? [05:05] ircclouder: but hold on... .2 does see inital pings right? [05:05] wolfric: iptables -L -n shows nothing. should i check something else? [05:05] now its not doing it [05:06] hmm its been doing it for a while [05:06] ircclouder: you were saying when .1 pings .2.... .2 sees the ping but doesn't respond... so .2 is seing incoming ping requests but not incoming ping responses? lol [05:06] my computer seems to run fine [05:06] jen_: record it and put it online so we can hear it [05:06] wolfric: yes. spot on :) [05:06] nando: try posting on the ubuntu forums at least [05:06] LOL! now its not doing it [05:07] wait....I think it does it when I have a butt load of tabs up [05:07] ircclouder: what... the...fuck? ok forget about ping just use a service [05:07] lemme try it [05:07] wolfric, okay I will. Thanks wolfric [05:07] fishcooker, easy to find > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes/ChangeSummary/10.04.3 [05:07] ircclouder: like run apache or something [05:07] wolfric: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/519130/ [05:07] hi there [05:07] ircclouder: it sounds like you have icmp blocked but established connections allow... what did you see in your iptables on .2? [05:08] I think...Im not sure but its been doing that since I've gotten oneiric [05:08] maybe [05:08] ircclouder: o.O why are you doing `which tcpdump`...? why not just do tcpdump [05:08] wolfric: none standard build [05:08] ircclouder: humor me [05:08] lol [05:09] wolfric: nothing on iptables [05:09] jen_: is it definitely coming from the computer or could it be coming from speakers [05:09] ircclouder: ok, just run a web server then or something [05:09] speakers maybe? [05:09] ircclouder: apache2 should work fine. [05:09] thats what it sounds like [05:09] wolfric: on .1 [05:09] ? [05:09] jen_: oh, try runing up/down the volume and see what hapens [05:09] ircclouder: either/both [05:10] wolfric: good idea [05:10] ircclouder: route -n on .2 as well if you can [05:11] hello [05:11] somebody know how I can do an video configuration backup of grub in ubuntu 11.10?

[05:44] no packages after base except the 111 packages it installed on it's own [05:45] hopstafarian: post on ubuntu forum if you're not getting anywhere.

[05:52] wolfric: i am getting DNS queries going out on wlan0 because 10.1.1.1 is the resolver [05:52] ircclouder: that's fine nothing wrong with that [05:53] Shammancer: unity is what I have in mind, yes - feel free to install and see what happens - I just know a lot of people on older machines (esp. older video cards) are having issues with 11.10 [05:53] wolfric: i fixed that in .2 by /etc/host'ing it [05:53] wolfric: yep [05:53] wolfric: i fixed that in *.1* by /etc/host'ing it [05:53] ircclouder: i'm a bit confused myself tbh [05:53] lol [05:53] ircclouder: btw, mac addresses are all correct yeah? [05:53] ircclouder: if you look at wireshark frames [05:53] Shammancer: you would probably avoid those problems by going with xubuntu or lubuntu, though [05:53] wolfric: yep. no change. [05:54] ircclouder: time to check logs i guess [05:54] ircclouder: that sounds like either i'm missing something very obvious or you have some f-ed up driver or hardware issue [05:54] ircclouder: no probably not hardware, more likely the network stack. check /var/log/syslog [05:54] and dmesg [05:54] wolfric: ok. 1 moment. [05:55] When ripping an audio CD, how can I in K3b version 2.0.2 change the default value of the target directory from ~ to another value? [05:55] and kern.log [05:57] !enter | wolfric [05:57] wolfric: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [05:59] bullgard4: i added lines as i thought of them. Given my converstaions for the last 5 mines (that none of them were like that), you sound pretty picky to me === jeaton is now known as Jeaton [05:59] can anyone help me with sorround sound issues? [05:59] wolfric, yeats , thank you for the guidance..gotta go, but appreciate the help, and hope that i didn't offend too much... [06:00] hopstafarian: offend? not at all i don't even know why you'd suggest that. Good luck [06:00] !sound | Jazanyc [06:00] Jazanyc: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [06:00] hopstafarian: good luck [06:00] wolfric, ty... [06:00] wolfric: thanks. i'll look further. nothing in the logs. [06:01] hail !! people of this channel ! [06:01] ircclouder: can you get internet with .2 connected by eth0 to a router or something [06:01] wolfric: yes. [06:02] wolfric: this is interesting. Dec 11 15:38:21 tarzan kernel: [52147.072912] e1000e: eth0 NIC Link is Up 100 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: None [06:02] Flow control: [06:02] ircclouder: no that's fine [06:02] Alright thanks yeast I'll take that into consideration [06:04] ircclouder: i'm fairly sure you don't need it however, try a cross over cable if you can get one. Try staticly confuring the ip addresses again and connect via router/switch (just not with dhcp), [06:04] wolfric: i was thinking about the IP header checksum mismatch because of checksum offload. [06:04] wolfric: alright. [06:04] put a switch in between and see. [06:04] thanks. [06:05] ubottu: I have sound, I'm trying to get the sorround sound to work [06:05] Jazanyc: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:05] ircclouder: tbh, the ip header mismatch sounds like driver / network stack issues but if you've gotten internet to work before... [06:05] can i rely on rsync working in alphabetical order? [06:05] WHAT_UP: why would you want it to [06:05] wolfric: exactly. [06:06] wolfric: i want a script to run if and only if the entire file transfered. i was trying to guarantee this with intermediate partial files, but for some reason those don't seem to actually get stored anywhere === Pengu1n_Phr0zen is now known as Pengu1nPhr0zen [06:07] wolfric: if the files are transfered in alphabetical order, i can be sure a file has been fully transfered if a file with a larger name has as well [06:07] WHAT_UP: rsync --partial [06:08] wolfric: doesn't do anything for me. no partial files to be found [06:08] WHAT_UP: also, put && after a command and whatever you put after && will only run if the first command is successful [06:08] anybody know what "Send retweets to all services" does in Gwibber ? [06:08] wolfric: i'm aware. i'm running one command. i want a cron-executed script to look over the directory periodically [06:10] can anyone help with s/pdif configuration? [06:10] wolfric: lemme download new driver for 82567LF [06:10] WHAT_UP: i need to head off sorry. can you not add a && so something to show it succeeded? and --partial doesn't take "partial files", it just means it doesn't delete the stuff it transfers if it stops half way [06:11] ircclouder: lol good luck... [06:11] wolfric: thanks for your help :) [06:11] wolfric: do you want me to keep you posted? [06:12] wolfric: can you please help...My ubuntu networking broke in bridged mode...the dhcp address assigned by the router looks right [06:12] wolfric: can you help me with s/pdif configuration? [06:13] wolfric: my windows host can ping 192.168.1.1 -- but ubuntu box can't [06:13] if I restart ubuntu remotely, can i VNC back into it straight away? I just ran the updates, and now I can't get back in [06:14] does everyone here like the new unity desktop? i just switched over from 10.04 yesterday and its taking me a bit to get use to [06:14] someone stole something from me [06:14] what should i do to them? [06:14] petester: it's probably your firewall or vnc isn't up. could be routes. who knows [06:14] pugSk8r_: report cops perhaps? [06:15] JeatonI don't like it. It's a dead end. I prefer GNOME Shell 3. [06:15] pugSk8r_> take care of it [06:15] ircclouder: is there a command line to start the vnc up? i can ssh in just fine [06:15] screen sharing is the truble [06:15] trouble* [06:15] petester: i don't use vnc sorry. [06:16] ircclouder: k ty [06:16] i am torn between wanting to kill them and forget about it petester [06:16] there is part of me that wants to kill the guy [06:16] bullgard4: how do I switch over to gnome shell 3? [06:16] apparmor frustrates me sometimes [06:16] and there is part of me that says 'forget about it' [06:16] loginix: why are you suggesting that pugSk8r_ take law into his own hand lol? [06:17] pugSk8r_: why do you hate them so much [06:17] ircclouder because he is a man [06:17] because they stole my shit petester [06:17] loginix: you must be crazy [06:17] ircclouder if someone stole something from me i'd kick their ass [06:17] just cant trust a nigga nowadayz [06:18] pugSk8r_: report to cops <- last time i checked though, that heavily depends on the jurisdiction / country. [06:18] loginix: yeah do that but i would still suggest you report it to the authorieis [06:18] authorities [06:18] Jeaton_: Install the DEB program package gnome-shell, log out and log in. [06:18] you report to cops they will say "we'll get to it when we get a chance" [06:18] http://ipv6.google.com/ doesn't open on my ubuntu , why ? [06:18] well i took care of it ircclouder [06:19] pugSk8r_: what you made him an offer he couldn't refuse? [06:19] lmfao [06:19] !nounity | Jeaton_: [06:19] Jeaton_:: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [06:19] these things are not funny ircclouder [06:19] anyway, i am going tangential on #ubuntu. time to fix my e1000e [06:19] pugSk8r_: ok. sorry to bother. [06:19] how to enable ipv6 in ubuntu ? [06:19] nice chatting with you [06:20] still no network [06:20] thanks [06:20] man i am glad i did not land in jail [06:20] so close tonight [06:21] would have been the end of me [06:21] :/ [06:21] just a freakin hair away from a murder rap [06:21] you ever get that close? [06:22] i mean this kid is gonna die [06:22] i feel like im listening to an oldschool radio murder mystery [06:22] or dick tracy or something [06:22] still no clue [06:22] go on pugSk8r_ [06:22] you never got close to killing someone? [06:22] I made it static ip [06:22] maybe a hamster or something [06:22] did a bridge [06:22] no use [06:25] When ripping an audio CD, how can I in K3b version 2.0.2 change the default value of the target directory from ~ to another value? [06:29] hello [06:30] http://bit.ly/uPBolO [06:30] what file do you change nat_traversal on? [06:30] How come my launcher (11.10) shows one more arrow for minimized windows than actually exist? [06:31] is there a utility for ubuntu tat will allows me to disable services ? [06:31] Lafiir: What desktop environment do you use in Ubuntu 11.10? [06:31] not start up services but services [06:33] my ping to gateway doesn't work -- anyone can help? its just simple dhcp on bridged vm connection [06:33] sam22: "services" is a very general category. So there are different solutions available depending on the type of service you are spaking about. [06:33] +e [06:33] unity. but now that you mention it, I'm tired and forgot that it's probably a firefox only problem. nevermind than [06:33] then [06:33] Lafiir, just don't installing gnome, install kubuntu or xubuntu [06:34] unity does suck [06:35] dr_willis, you around? [06:35] I wouldn't go that far. I am currently trying cairo-dock. It's pretty and does some things better than unity. But I am not sure [06:36] Missing the dash [06:38] hi [06:38] hail ! [06:39] this is a comunity of ubuntu :XD [06:41] hello [06:46] sam22: used to be called tweak ubuntu [06:47] is ssh also a transfer protocol ? [06:47] sam22: dunno if its still worked on [06:47] sam22: let yu change a;; kinds of settings including a ui for disabling stuff [06:47] all [06:48] atruno: i beleve so [06:49] atruno: scp file-to-send user@host:/path/to/place/file [06:50] atruno: also if you setup sftp it uses ssh just like ftp [06:51] atruno: and most ftp clients do support sftp [06:51] lol so i just put the ubuntu disk in.. picked 'install ubuntu' and screen went off.. disc stopped spinning, still no video.. no backlight either [06:51] bliind: pfft goes the live cd lol [06:52] bliind: probly means you got a newer nivida card and the oss drivers dont work [06:52] the problem is the source directory is a windows machine :( [06:53] and i'm using xubuntu which doesn't give the option to both merge and skip. [06:53] its an amd video card in it [06:53] but what bothers me is the backlight turns off too? [06:53] bliind: or even a new amd [06:53] how do i resolve this issue? [06:53] bliind: amd osss drivers are a bigger fail then nivida [06:55] bliind: i wish they would just include the closed drivers out of the box but they dont [06:55] nvidia is very bad under ubuntu has been my experience a 6180se. no grub screen or boot splash. [06:55] Query: How does one change which partition auto-boots when GRUB times out? [06:55] heh... i hit the check discs for defects button and it does the same thing [06:55] no video, no backlight.. [06:56] so i can't install ubuntu? [06:56] bliind: not from the live cd [06:56] how then [06:56] travis: /etc/defaults/grub [06:56] bliind: you would need to do a alt install then boot into recovery and install the driver [06:57] pain in the ass [06:57] yeah that seems a little ridiculous [06:57] travisHAZE, you can use the app startupmanager [06:57] BlueEagle, I know the file, not how to do it [06:57] bliind: can't get into install? [06:57] atruno, I don't want to alter which apps startup [06:57] screen turns off. backlight too [06:57] I want to alter which OS auto boots from Grub [06:58] happygolucky: are calssic video display crash being open drivers fail [06:58] travis its just an application under ubuntu that manages grub config [06:58] Forgot to mention, running Natty not Oneric [06:58] travisHAZE, it will work for you [06:59] bliind: nouveau.blacklist=true as a boot option is my only choice.. i've a nvida gtx card [06:59] bliind: found one [06:59] bliind: http://ubuntureloaded.blogspot.com/ [06:59] bliind: a iso with the nedded drivers [07:00] nice. thank you very much [07:00] travis: GRUB_DEFAULT takes an index or a label [07:01] BlueEagle, huh? GRUB_DEFAULT (inside of /etc/default/grub file) I get [07:01] The other, nope [07:01] bliind: nv that just has a sepret driver iso [07:02] it's a lot larger - 2.64gb.. [07:02] ha. just heard ubuntu log in on the computer with no screen :\ [07:03] bliind: alt f1 [07:03] bliind: if you get a display good things [07:04] nope nothin [07:04] travis:read the file header for info [07:04] bliind: you try booting into safe mode [07:04] hows that? i didnt see taht option [07:04] bliind: yea its there [07:04] bliind: failsafe [07:04] oh heh i just noticed your nick. nice ;] [07:05] bliind: kick it into low gfx mode [07:05] bliind: might work [07:05] nope... default, help, try ubuntu without installing, install, check for defects, testt memory, boot from hd [07:06] bliind: should be one called failsafe [07:06] there is not. looking at the screen right now [07:06] Anyone have any good resources for clickpad functionality I cannot get multitouch or right click working properly. [07:06] BlindEagle, so basically change the 0 to a 1??? [07:06] BlueEagle, not Blind Eagle lol [07:07] ohhhhh you know what [07:07] im sorry i've misled you. i completely forgot myself. im not using a CD.. the CD wouldn't boot. I'm using a usb stick with unetbootin :\ [07:08] i still had the cd in the drive so it was spinning up i thought thats what was booting. sorry, that was dumb [07:12] can anyone help me to configure s/pdif? [07:12] i tried the wiki pages with no luck [07:12] What's a very good channel for C Programming on IRC? [07:13] I need to add FreeBSD to my GRUB menu, But I can't figure this out, All I can find involves editing menu.lst, which my grub doesn't use [07:14] as [07:14] http://bit.ly/uPBolO [07:14] edit grub.cfg, not supposed to, your supposed to edit some .40 thingy file, but i just edit grub.cfg in /boot/grub (this is for grub2) [07:14] help please [07:14] kinda cool that you can easily add backgrounds now. [07:15] Ok, But grub.cfg looks pretty confusing [07:15] that's about it, i hate grub2 otherwise, way too complicated compared to before [07:15] yeah, it's basically the same shit though. [07:15] Alright, I'll give it a whirl === patrick_ is now known as packrit [07:16] I think more advanced stuff like map commands n' stuff might be a little different, but basic location is pretty similar/same [07:16] okay i just reinstalled it on the flash drive using the recommended method, so i should have the failsafe option now im assuming [07:18] lol, no failsafe, safe mode, nothing... theres an empty advanced options sub menu... :| im upset that i cant install ubuntu [07:18] erm [07:18] ok, hi [07:18] hm, is it working? [07:19] no more error msgs, i guess my msgs is getting thru now [07:19] anyway [07:19] travisHAZE: If you change 0 to 1 then the 2nd entry in Grub will be loaded [07:20] rgr, ty BlueEagle [07:20] travisHAZE: If you change it to 'Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.32-33-generic (recovery mode)' then you will always boot into recovery mode for kernel 2.6.32-33 regardless of the index it has. [07:20] After i got a new machine Ubuntu stopped working (i kept the HDDs from the old machine), i finally decided to give up and install over, but the installer kept failing, and Gparted says "ext2fs_check_if_mount: Input/output error while determining whether /dev/sda3 is mounted. mkfs.ext4: Input/output error ", what should i do? [07:21] Will it still by default load GRUB up for x seconds? [07:21] (have mine set for 15) [07:21] travisHAZE: The lables correspond to the Menuentry in /boot/grub/grub.cfg [07:21] the traceroute command on ubuntu shows wrong results , anybody aware of that ? [07:22] Does this look about right? [07:22] menuentry "FreeBSD" { insmod ufs set root='(hd0,b)' kernel /boot/loader [07:22] travisHAZE: info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration' [07:22] It's not laid out quite like that.... [07:22] travisHAZE: Shows you how to set the timeout as well. [07:22] travisHAZE: GRUB_TIMEOUT is the one you want [07:23] I have a bit of experience with grub [07:23] anyone? [07:23] I just needed to know how to change the default booted one [07:23] And you taught me [07:23] !anyone | TiagoTiago [07:23] TiagoTiago: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [07:23] So I thank you [07:23] already asked it... [07:24] TiagoTiago: Sorry. Didn't see it. ;) [07:24] [05:20] After i got a new machine Ubuntu stopped working (i kept the HDDs from the old machine), i finally decided to give up and install over, but the installer kept failing, and Gparted says "ext2fs_check_if_mount: Input/output error while determining whether /dev/sda3 is mounted. mkfs.ext4: Input/output error ", what should i do? [07:24] Can I bond two NIC which are connected to separate Gateways and ISPs using ifenslave? [07:24] travisHAZE: No, you don't "just need to know how change xxx" you need to know how to read the documentation. ;) [07:25] TiagoTiago: Is it mounted? [07:25] You said read the comments at the top of the page, here's the top of my grub page [07:25] isn't mentioned by mount [07:25] # If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update [07:25] # /boot/grub/grub.cfg. [07:25] Two lines [07:26] travisHAZE: Sorry, then they have removed some of the info from when I installed. [07:26] That's a shame. [07:27] BlueEagle: it isn't mentioned by mount [07:28] travisHAZE: # For full documentation of the options in this file, see: # info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration' <-- the missing link mentioned [07:28] Ok, so fun with grub over here, Trying to get FreeBSD into the list [07:28] I added this [07:28] menuentry "FreeBSD" { insmod ufs set root='(hd0,b)' kernel /boot/loader [07:28] But I got command kernel not found [07:28] ty almoxarife, I'll paste that in [07:28] freebsd? virus? [07:28] hi, using fluxbox and not gnome, does anyone know the actual name of the startup disk creator? [07:29] olaaaa [07:29] este chat es de vigo [07:30] BlueEagle ? [07:30] travisHAZA: can you help me configure my s/pdif for sorround sound? [07:30] usb-creator-gtk [07:30] thanks [07:32] * TiagoTiago sighs [07:32] anyone has any idea how to help me? [07:33] Hi [07:33] anyone here use nomachine nxclient/server? [07:33] TiagoTiago: the question is confusing, can you restate it? [07:34] I@m constantly getting my system freeze up, whereby mouse will only travel between workspaces but not do anything else. [07:34] Gparted from the live disk (an USB flash drive actually) says "ext2fs_check_if_mount: Input/output error while determining whether /dev/sda3 is mounted. mkfs.ext4: Input/output error", how can i fix that, or at least find out what is going on? [07:35] mount doesn't mention it, so i guess it isn't mounted [07:35] When I ctrl+alt+PrtScre+K to restsart I usually get this upon loging back in http://clip2net.com/s/1ogWE [07:36] Firefox won't launch anymore. When I try it and system freezes all over aagain [07:36] What else do you need to know to make this clearer? [07:36] TiagoTiago: nothing else needed, thnks [07:37] it was system would work for a while and suddenly stop. It seems to do it right away now when launching FF [07:37] Query #2: Whenever I use shutdown -P it wont kill power to the PC, it just sits (with no OS loaded) until I hit the power button, how do I fix this? (Using acpi=off noapic nolapic) [07:38] Hello everyone [07:39] almoxarife: any idea what i can do? [07:39] TiagoTiago: just a guess, the hd is toast? [07:39] is there anyway i can see a percentage indicator when i do mv via terminal [07:40] Before this the partition with WinXP seemed to be doing just fine [07:40] wolfric, you still here? I think I figured out what was slowing me down so much. I had full drive encryption and home directory encryption and I guess it was to much for my system. Reinstalled without them and its much better. Still not 10.10 though. [07:40] TiagoTiago: simply based on 'input/out' error [07:41] But the failed install seems to have screwed grub, so i can't boot from that partition anymore... [07:41] TiagoTiago: then attached to a win machine, you may be able to see something, and I am just guessing [07:42] Anyway to just fix GRUB at least? [07:44] is there anyway i can see a percentage indicator when i do mv via terminal [07:44] Query #2: Whenever I use shutdown -P it wont kill power to the PC, it just sits (with no OS loaded) until I hit the power button, how do I fix this? (Using acpi=off noapic nolapic) [07:45] shutdown -h now [07:45] travisHAZE: perhaps there is a BIOS setting to allow software shutdown? [07:45] or poweroff [07:45] oh [07:45] -h does Halt or Power off [07:45] But my computer only halts with -P [07:46] can anyone help me configure my s/pdif? [07:46] TiagoTiago, without actually going into my BIOS but going from memory there is no such option [07:47] travisHAZE can you look at my question please :D [07:47] Ok, Almost got this grub thing working. When I select FreeBSD from the grub menu now, I get ERROR: INVALID A.OUT HEADER [07:47] I have, and I don't know [07:47] When I move a lot of files === rymate1234|away is now known as rymate1234 [07:47] It lets me know when each file has been moved [07:47] I'm still a Linuxnub [07:48] okie no issues travisHAZE [07:48] Any ideas? [07:48] I'll try letting Spinrite go over the disk while i sleep, it was stupid of me to try to install an OS right before going to bed :( [07:50] any one please help? [07:51] If I knew what a s/pdif was, I'd help [07:51] Jazanyc this is #ubuntu not FreeBSF [07:51] BSD* [07:51] oh well, cya [07:51] When I select FreeBSD from the grub menu now, I get ERROR: INVALID A.OUT HEADER. Help? [07:51] what is freeBSF? [07:52] FreeBSF is only the most awesome Unix OS ever [07:52] Even mo betta than Mac OS and FreeBSD [07:53] dude, I need help with s/pdif config. [07:53] not looking for new OS [07:53] Jazanyc, they said that your problem was FreeBSD related [07:53] FreeBSD (much like Linux not being Windows) is not Ubuntu [07:53] Yea, But the FreeBSD channel is locked [07:54] Invite only [07:54] no, i wanted alsa to detect my s/pdif, been working on it all night [07:54] Not me [07:54] I'm in ##freebsd [07:54] !register| jonathon_ no reason to stay offtopic here [07:54] jonathon_ no reason to stay offtopic here: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname.

[07:57] A_J: afaik no, i never missed one [07:57] one big file pnorman. it's 8gigs long via usb so i want to know how long it is taking [07:58] A_J: in that case mv is essentially doing cp. I think you could either monitor the size of the new file or string together some command with pv [07:59] Frankly, neither is worth it for a file that's only 8GB [07:59] A_J: What I usually do is "mv & watch du -h /" [08:00] is there a universal program for ubuntu to tell me what my processor temps are?

When the windows like pigdin, skype and so on are restored from their "minimized" mode in the notification area, they're moves to the right each time. I mean, the window is restored not to the same position but with some shift to the right. 10 pixels, 10 pixels, 10 pixels... Who knows how to fix that? [08:08] umm sorry dced [08:08] llutz what were you saying [08:08] A_J: idk, i never missed one [08:09] yes, but there must be an option for percentage like when you do sudo apt-get install etc [08:09] the downloading happens in % [08:10] A_J:file a feature request, write you own mv-with-indicator-script, use pv... whatever [08:10] I'm trying to create a VM with vmbuilder.

[08:19] lemem try [08:19] !lubuntu | edson [08:19] edson: lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu . /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [08:19] morning everyone, I just got my new PCI-e nVidia GeForce 9600GT gfx card, and using the Ubuntu default 195.36.24 driver, but on the nVidia site there is a Linux driver 290.10,,,, which one should I install for the new PCI-e card? [08:20] edson: are you doing something that you would expect to use up all of your ram with? if you're not doing anything, the ram isn't going to be used [08:20] atruno: it's just a difference in DEs for the most part, install both DEs and see which works better for you [08:21] Oh, so the other 1GB is a "reserve" so Lubuntu will use it when needed? [08:21] atruno: oh- sorry, i didn't read up far enough.. [08:21] edson: this isn't windows man... not all of your ram will be used all of the time :) [08:22] edson: the currently unused ram will get used for caching data, etc, but on my machine <1GB of ram is used if I just start it up and do nothing. [08:22] On my machine, I have 796MB RAM used of an available 4GB after having run all day (that's including cached data) [08:23] MTecknology: Windows doesn't use all my RAM. [08:23] Wait, I think I might have to restate my question. [08:23] pnorman: you have like a terabyte of ram or something!? on my 4GB Win7 was more than happy to chew it all up [08:24] not only chew it up, but do so very quickly [08:24] !ram | pnorman [08:24] pnorman: If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | A short primer on Linux memory management can be found here: http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html [08:24] According to my Task Manager, Memory: 382 MB of 991 MB used. I was hoping for 382 MB of 2000 MB used? [08:24] i love that site [08:24] edson: ooooh [08:25] edson: pastebin 'free -m' output [08:25] edson: Ah - it's not showing that you have as much ram as you should. that's a different problem [08:25] pangolin: ? [08:25] i want to access my guest machine in vbox (ubuntu 11.04) as web server. cent os 5.7. what is correct network config [08:26] pnorman: i think he meant that to hilight edson instead [08:26] Here. http://pastebin.com/uhrB0XQF [08:26] sweb: set it to bridged [08:26] sweb: any reason your trying to run a web server in vbox? personally, I think kvm is MUCH more suited to that task [08:27] and much better documented for doing it [08:27] anyone know if I should use the Ubuntu nVidia driver 195.36.24 or the new Linux driver 290.10 on the nVidia site for my GeForce 9600GT 512MB PCI-e card? [08:27] and... bridged networking is much easier to comprehend and use in kvm [08:28] except for the kvm issue I'm having which I very much doubt you'll run in to [08:29] MTecknology: I have 16GB in both my ubuntu box and my Win7 box. The Win7 box has 6G in use, of which about 3G is to games and other big apps. The ubuntu box has 3G used, of which 1.5G is cache. I think ubuntu (server) is better at handling memory, particularly for using free memory to cache data, but Win7 isn't that bad for memory. [08:31] pnorman: I can have 5 VMs running on my 4GB RAM and still have room to romp [08:31] anybody know what "Send retweets to all services" does in Gwibber ? === Zebulon is now known as Aziz === Aziz is now known as Dov [08:32] Hello, help me please.

Intel Classmate PC 3 [08:33] I entered the Wifi password and it says that WiFi is connected [08:34] but I can't ping the router or use internet [08:35] Gifford, you sure router is set up to respond to ping? [08:36] yes, it worked on windows before [08:36] with another device [08:37] Gifford: "ifconfig" from console/terminal [08:37] i would like to verify whether or not a command exist in the $PATH, but when i do "whereis loooool", i get looooool: ; and echo $? return 0 [08:38] i would like to get something != 0 if "loool" is not in the $PATH [08:38] because i want to do whereis loool || echo "loool is not in the PATH" [08:38] Techdude101: which [08:39] paissad: which [08:39] Techdude101: sorry [08:39] MTecknology, indeed ... thanks [08:40] paissad: if which p >/dev/null; then echo exists; fi && if which cp >/dev/null; then echo exists; fi [08:42] Techdude101: Sorry it took long? was figuring how to copy output throug flash usb - http://paste.ubuntu.com/766674/ [08:42] paissad: or... if ! which cp >/dev/null; then echo 'does not exist'; fi [08:42] MTecknology, thanks [08:43] Gifford: Have you tried pinging 192.168.1.1 (which I am assuming is the ip of your router)? [08:44] Techdude101: yes, it pings sometimes, with long pauses [08:44] is there a fork or a good alternative for archive manager for windows? [08:45] hi [08:45] good morning, running 11.10 and I keep having this problem in USC "failed to download packages". Checked sources.list, done apt-get update and update manager works fine [08:45] tips? [08:45] Gifford: Try "ping 4.2.2.2" [08:45] question, when you set the time on your server that is in a differen't time zone than you. Do you set it to your time/time zone or to the one where it's located? [08:45] I was going to set it to mine, then got to thinking about that [08:46] gardenfox: you mean file-roller? I think that's about the best option there is, even the lightest weight of systems tend to use it if there is a gui present [08:46] Techdude101: nothing happening, what is that? [08:46] does anyone know the easiest way to get an apt? [08:46] Techdude101: no, there is ping, but the same way, with pauses [08:46] It's just a well known dns server that accepts ping requests [08:46] eeveetrainer: get an apt? .. [08:46] yes [08:46] what? [08:46] i need a new apt [08:47] Gifford: you should see something like "64 bytes from 4.2.2.2" [08:47] eeveetrainer: apt-get reinstall apt-get ? [08:47] MTecknolohy: yeah is there anythink like that for windows? [08:47] eeveetrainer: you're not making any sense.. [08:48] gardenfox: nothing i know of, 7-zip might have those capabilities now, i always fell back to using unxutils [08:48] Techdude101: yes, but there pauses, how can I explain. it is waiting a lot and then there is answer, then waiting, then two answers...since then now there are only 16 answers [08:49] gardenfox: then you at least could unpack and pack bzip2 and gzip archives [08:49] Techdude101: I tried putting the netbook right near the router and getting 100% signal? still the same [08:49] Is there a way to share a file between ubuntu and windows on the same machine? I am dual booting both windows and ubuntu. [08:50] Gifford: Try "dmesg | tail" and look for any errors or anything related to wifi [08:50] Hello all, i have some issue with my mail server on ec2, i get message from the mail client of " The POP server doesn’t support Password authentication.", Someone can help me? [08:50] Gifford: have you tried with the eth cable ? [08:51] g3nt3lg1ant you can share from ubuntu into windows but not the other way around [08:51] Techdude101: nothing about wifi [08:51] pikaciu: no , but I can [08:52] Gifford: sometime i go that behavior with the wifi but not with the cable [08:52] Gifford: try this 'sudo rfkill unblock all' that solved my problem in wifi [08:52] Gifford: sometime i go that behavior with the wifi but not with the cable [08:52] i got [08:53] pikaciu: with ethernet everything is perfect, just tried [08:53] Giffor: drivers.... then ??? [08:54] Gifford: Have you tried restarting the router? (unplug power cable for 20 secs) === jerry is now known as Ginks [08:54] atengendal: so i cant share files with windows off my ubuntu partition? [08:54] g3nt3lg1ant: store them on the ntfs-drive [08:55] edson, Techdude101: I just tried sudo rfkill unblock all and ping through WiFi became perfect. what was that? [08:56] and 4.2.2.2 too [08:56] So wifi is ok now? [08:56] what did I just do? [08:56] yes! [08:56] Gifford: rfkill controls the action of a physical wifi switch, sometimes Fn + F? [08:56] sudo rfkill list [08:56] wireless cards are so fun [08:56] aha? I thought about this, but pressing it didn't change anything :| [08:57] you're wifi card was 'blocked'. happened to me before [08:57] edson: all no [08:57] especially with no ethernet plug available [08:57] wireless card headache is the single biggest thing hindering ubuntu's popularity [08:58] :P [08:58] frankly it forced me to start using terminal and play around with ndiswrapper [08:58] if you typed rfkill list before you unblocked, you must see everything blocked. [08:58] strange, the function switch which is supposed to block/unblock WiFi doesn't do anything [08:58] Fn + F too [08:59] and why was WiFi half-working??? [09:00] Gifford: On some laptops/netbooks the button is Fn + F7 (I think). On mine it's Fn + F2 [09:00] bye [09:00] Techdude101: there is the radio icon on F1 [09:01] Gifford: That'll be it, Fn + F1 [09:01] Techdude101: but nothing happens on Fn + F1 I tried [09:01] when I start the computer and see the file of /etc/resolv.conf , the "nameserver 8.8.8.8 is no exit ,so I have to add it again, is there any way to solve it? [09:01] is your laptop an HP? [09:01] and still, why was it half working [09:01] pretty much only ubuntu has a huge pool of patient volunteer technical support [09:01] edson: Intel [09:02] well the most helpful I've seen [09:02] Gifford: Sometimes you need to hold it for a few seconds. Not sure why it was half working, i.e. you were getting an ip address [09:02] Techdude101: and ping worked, but with long pauses [09:02] blin: rightclick your networkmanager-applet, edit connection, set dns in ip4 settings [09:02] now it works immediately [09:03] Techdude101: holding doesn't work either [09:03] paramananda: well Ubuntu ("humanity towards others") [09:03] Gifford: Do you know if it works in windows? [09:03] Techdude101: I will try now [09:04] yea which is why I like ubuntu and have tons of distros [09:04] even though people say it makes me a linux newb [09:04] When ripping an audio CD, how can I in K3b version 2.0.2 change the default value of the target directory from ~ to another value? [09:04] I'm having fun customizing my desktop [09:05] lucky you. I'm using Lubuntu and I can't do that customizations lol. [09:05] Techdude101: yes, but it didn't before [09:07] hey [09:07] i have a question [09:07] anyone run ipv6 in ubuntu? [09:07] Gifford: Is there an led for wifi? When I press the wifi button for a few secs the led turns off [09:08] hello [09:08] hello [09:08] Techdude101: there is led, but it doesn't switch off [09:09] neither does mine [09:09] on my laptop [09:09] it seems this functio n button doesn't work [09:09] others do === bobi_Ge is now known as hektor [09:10] Gifford: Probably a driver thing [09:11] maybe, but why both ubuntu and windows don't have the proper driver is a mistery [09:13] Gifford: Ah sorry, I thought it was just with ubuntu with the led. There may be a setting in the BIOS to disable it or something [09:13] Gifford, what is your wifi card? [09:13] dunno, it is integrated [09:17] Errrmm so anyone knows how to solve my missing RAM issues? [09:18] edson, are you trying to use more then 4gb ram on a 32 bit system? === Dmitry is now known as Guest72332 [09:19] No. I have 32 bit system with 2GB of RAM. Task Manager shows 410MB of 991MB used. Why not 410MB of 2000MB used? [09:19] free -m http://pastebin.com/8dPByXAF [09:21] edson, are you sure you got 2000mb ram? isn't it 991mb ram + 1011mb swap? [09:21] hi [09:22] I'm sure of it. I don't have any idea on that swap. I just installed Lubuntu few days ago. [09:22] I have a large jpeg image and I just want to cut a rectangle out from it and save that as another jpeg. What's the easiest way to do that? [09:23] edson: How much ram shows up in the BIOS? 4GB? [09:23] can you help me dvidi driver doesnot work in gnome 3 [09:23] Okay ill go check. [09:24] any ideas? [09:24] Techdude101, I think he set up a swap file automatically and saw somewhere that he got 2000mb ram, but it was just ram + swap file [09:24] lesshaste: Easiest way is probably with GIMP, just use the crop tool [09:25] !gnome3 | xuser1 [09:25] xuser1: GNOME 3 is the desktop environment on which Unity is based.

[10:14] ActionParsnip: I had it connected on my 10.04 but did a clean install of 11.10 and forgot how I mounted the shared folders [10:14] almoxarife: ok the gdm thing was something other [10:14] hi. can I have eth0 instead of venet on a VPS with openVZ ? [10:14] ActionParsnip: Yes I can ping it [10:15] Gyro54: if you run: smbtree do you see any shares? [10:15] theadmin: Yes I can browse to it but I need to set up the folders to mount on startup [10:15] Gyro54: then you will need to add an entry in /etc/fstab [10:16] nvm lol [10:16] Gyro54: You can easily add it as a bookmark in nautilus and access it there when needed [10:16] unset SSH_AUTH_SOCK fixed it [10:16] ActionParsnip: wow! thats a nice one. There are all the local printers and computers nut no mediavault? === Alex`aw is now known as BaNz [10:18] Gyro54: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c00763627.pdf <--- page 20 :) [10:18] almoxarife: Thanks I will have a look [10:19] Gyro54: what file serving technology does it use? [10:20] ActionParsnip: It runs linux [10:21] hello [10:22] almoxarife: I used that before but was not sure if it relates to 11.10 [10:22] Gyro54: samo samo [10:22] Gyro54: but does it use sshfs, samba, ftp? [10:22] hi. can I have eth0 instead of venet on a VPS with openVZ ? [10:22] ActionParsnip: samba [10:22] almoxarife: sweet [10:23] ActionParsnip: It uses samba or NFS [10:23] hello, i'm having issues with qjackctl, it just freezes after it starts, i can't see errors when running it from the command line. i have oneiric. anybody has a clue? [10:23] Gyro54: try telling nautilus to connect to \\HPMediaVault\FileShar [10:24] Gyro54: \\HPMediaVault\FileShare sorry [10:26] what is the difference between eth0 and venet ? [10:27] Chees_BHW: eth0 is your hardwire connection to the network [10:27] Bah, eth0 is the ethernet interface that's all [10:27] venet is some other network type [10:28] ActionParsnip: When I try sudo mount -t smbfs //192.168.1.108/FileShare /mnt/sharefiles I get unknown file type 'smbfs' [10:28] theadmin so on a VPS i can only have venet and not eth0 ? [10:28] Chees_BHW: Depends on your VPS, but I suppose venet is the OpenVZ networking interface... [10:28] Chees_BHW: I don't see why do you need to change it [10:29] Gyro54: it's "cifs" now [10:29] theadmin, because I need to use a setup for iptables that is made for eth0 and in my vps i have only venet in the ifconfig [10:29] Chees_BHW: Um... Just replace every "eth0" with "venet" [10:29] Thanks !! Will try that [10:30] sudo apt-get install smbfs <---- dont forget Gyro54 [10:30] Gyro54: you may need to access the web config page to check the share name [10:31] theamin, yes but the ifconfig looks different with venet. so can I just set it up like its eth0 ? will this work ? [10:31] dr_willis: I have samba installed? is that the same? [10:31] Hello! [10:32] Gyro54: No. [10:32] !info smbfs [10:32] smbfs (source: cifs-utils): Common Internet File System utilities - compatibility package. In component main, is optional.

[10:33] berlinick: if it's ubuntu related the sure :) [10:33] Good :) [10:34] I am working with a graph visualization program Gephi, which is written in Java.

Switch Java VM to client mode, or 2. Change the video card driver. I am not sure about the second solution, because I am still very new to Linux. I would like to try the first option. But I somehow can't: Entering "java -client" in the Terminal doesn't do anything. [10:38] !list [10:38] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [10:40] I have also edited my bash profile so that it has the path to Java. But it didn't help. I think, I have done it wrong. I would really appreciate your advice. [10:40] This still gives the error "Unable to find suitable address" sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.108/shares/FileShare /mnt/sharefiles [10:40] It looks OK to me [10:43] Gyro54: try findsmb, and smbtree commands to scan the network for what shares are there. [10:43] Gyro54: and you sure that sharename is right? normally its like //ip.num.be.er/sharename [10:43] not sharename/subdir [10:45] dr_willis: findsmb = 192.168.1.8 HPMEDIAVAULT [KKHOME] [Unix] [Samba 3.0.23d] [10:45] thats the right machine? [10:46] dr_willis: I will try without the subdir [10:46] * dr_willis notices the ip address is also differnt then what you tried... [10:47] dr_willis: no still the same? [10:47] You are using the right ip#? [10:48] You used 108 in one place.. but findsmb showed '8' [10:48] So the question basically is: How can I switch Java from server to client mode. [10:48] I dident even know java had a server/client mode. :) [10:49] Yep, it has both. [10:49] And it defaults to server on most machines. [10:49] Well, it identifies mine as a server-class machine. [10:50] dr_willis: WTF Now that was stupid I removed the "10" That changes things [10:50] thats why i mentioned it twice [10:50] :) [10:51] #ccc.do [10:51] exit [10:51] One forum post states that the SIGSEGV-problem I'm having disappears after switching to the client mode. [10:52] dr_willis: Now I have a "mount error(6): No such device or address" [10:55] see if smbtree sees the shares Gyro54 [10:57] dr_willis: No it is not listed. [10:57] Uhm... Will I be thrown out of here if I don't write and just wait? :) [10:58] no berlinick [10:58] berlinick: thats what most people do. [10:58] OK :) [10:58] berlinick: No... Also, it's likely that your Java app has server/client modes... Java is just a runtime environment, similar to Mono or Perl or Ruby or Lua or such... [10:59] Would make no sense for it to have server/client modes [10:59] dr_willis: findsmb shows it in a different workgroup? I will change it and try again [10:59] getting badsig - http://paste.ubuntu.com/766746/ [11:00] As far as I found out, it is the environment itself, which has these modes. [11:03] dr_willis: I have changed the workgroup and now have this error? Server requested LANMAN password (share-level security) but 'client lanman auth' is disabled [11:03] failed tcon_X with NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED [11:04] \\BRWC417FE009DB0 [11:04] cli_start_connection: failed to connect to BRWC417FE009DB0<20> (0.0.0.0). Error NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED [11:04] you are connectin to a windows server? or linux server? or what exactly? [11:05] I mean, so says the official Java website. [11:10] dr_willis: I will check the 10.04 version and see how it was setup [11:11] theadmin: I mean, you guys know incomparably more then I do, but I am still convinced that it is the environment and not the app itself. Also I read, that the problem does not emerge in earlier versions ov Java. I am trying to find the page (had to restart and forgot to save the bookmark, stupid), but with no success so far. [11:12] berlinick: thats why i use delicious.com to do all my bookmarking. [11:13] I think, I should start using it too :) [11:13] And how do I send messages, that are marked with your names? [11:13] So that you know, it is a message for you. Dialog window?

[11:33] When ripping an audio CD, how can I in K3b version 2.0.2 change the default value of the target directory from ~ to another value? [11:34] pranav: scribe [11:34] dr_willis: form filling.. [11:34] I thought ive seen pdf viewers that let you fill in a form then print it.. rarely do that either. :) [11:34] hello. I am running kubuntu 11.10 on a sony vaio vgn-fw260j. I recently purchased a new charger for my laptop and ever since I started using it, I haven't been able to use the touchpad with the same ease as before-it either freezes or provides delayed response. i have installed the latest updates but the issue still exists. has anyone else faced such as issue? [11:35] flower [11:35] * dr_willis noticed Acrobat reader was a 630 mb install on his windows machine.... (from the add/remove programs stuff) Thats getting sick. :) [11:35] i tried the fixes suggested in http://askubuntu.com/questions/70333/touchpad-freezing-on-a-sony-vaio-vpcf22s1e but they weren't of much help. [11:36] the charger is affecting the touchpad? that would be.. odd... [11:36] Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could solve this problem? It's getting really annoying :). [11:36] dr_willis: you can disable plugins for it and make it load faster :) [11:36] * dnivra agrees with dr_willis [11:37] but that's the only rational explaination I have-moment i unplug the charger, the touchpad works like a charm. [11:37] ActionParsnip: got me a little netbook on clearance. :) was cleaning it out. and amazed at the size of the acrobat reader install. [11:37] dnivra: usually the boot option: i8024.nopnp makes dumb Sony touchpads work [11:37] dnivra: could be more to do with the power saveings sub system. Try the laptop with a disrto like tiny core linux, see if it has the same issues., [11:38] dnivra: try: i8024.reset [11:38] dnivra: or: irqpoll [11:40] ActionParsnip: I had stumbled across this forum post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1150077 and it suggested 4 options i8024.reset, i8024.nomux, i8042.nopnp and i8042.noloop. I tried supplying all four and it still didn't work. [11:40] it may be it needs one of the 4 :) [11:40] how to use mplayer to have fullscreen playback over multiple screens? [11:40] i assumed that if that had to work, then the touchpad shouldn't work at all. but well mine works when running on battery and sometimes when charging. [11:41] snowlove: what flower :O [11:41] brontosaurusrex: you playing a wide screen movie and you want it to scretch across 2 monitors? [11:41] and it was working perfectly till i got this charger so I am guessing it's the charger. [11:42] dr_willis: i am on a low bandwidth connection and so do not have access to any iso's to create a live cd. [11:42] dnivra: tiny core linux = 10 to 35mb :) [11:42] dr_willis, actually 2 projectors and i need synced video on both, so i will edit it into one clip and then separate again on playback time, thats the idea at least [11:43] dr_willis: oh! a GUI comes in that size? [11:43] dnivra: yes. [11:43] its a good testing disrto. [11:43] ActionParsnip: you mentioned something about irqpoll? [11:43] dr_willis: downloading. [11:43] sounds to me like its a known bug with the sony laoptops touchpad. [11:44] i dont even know what i8042 is :) [11:45] dr_willis: i just came across it in a blog post :D. and it's tinycore not multi-core or micro-core right? just thought I'd confirm. [11:46] hm. it appears that Ubuntu 11.10 is very very slow on my IBM Thinkpad x121e, esp. when it comes to installing new packages [11:46] is that a known problem in any way? [11:47] i came across another solution:http://www.cranked.me/2008/05/how-to-disable-touchpad-while-typing-in.html to "disable touchpad while typing". is this xorg.conf file correct http://paste.kde.org/157598/? I tried this but my display stopped working so thought I'd confirm before I try it again. [11:48] dr_willis: it's enough if I run a tiny core live usb right? and I can create one using unetbootin? [11:49] dnivra: yes, try it as a boot option [11:49] dnivra: yes it should work with unetbootin i belive [11:49] tinycore is sweeeeeet [11:49] its handy. [11:50] may I ask why ubuntu does not respect sysctl.conf parameters? [11:50] ActionParsnip: boot option as in specifying GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="irqpoll" in /etc/default/grub? [11:50] hello there. I got a problem with my Ubuntu. it doesn't start and in recovery mode shows this error img443.imageshack.us/content_round.php?page=done&l=img443/3622/20111211123924726mo.jpg [11:50] I've set "kernel.panic = 10" but the system refused to reboot [11:50] TimothyA: every time ive edited sysctrl.conf its worked. but i disabled other things. [11:50] dnivra: yes, if you want no plymouth boot screen [11:50] dr_willis: well, it doesn't seem to work here [11:50] it just sat at the kernel panic screen for 10 hours [11:51] before tech support woke up to manually cycle the server [11:51] cant say ive ever tested the kernek panic option. [11:51] rarely have kernel panics... [11:51] ActionParsnip: sorry but you lost me on the last one :D. [11:51] I have a kernel panic every day on this machine [11:51] If the kernel pannics i have to wonder how its even able to reset itself. [11:51] and I Can't find the source of it [11:52] can you help me? [11:52] where does it store the kernel panic message? [11:52] AndIrc_: you may want to poste a tinyurl of that long url. [11:52] WHERE [11:53] or summarize the error message. [11:53] dnivra: if you only have: irqpoll instead of: quiet splash irqpoll you will not get a plymouth boot screen, you will see the bootup text [11:54] http://tinyurl.com/car74tn [11:54] okay, so ubuntu does not log kernel panics? awesome [11:54] ActionParsnip: Ah okay. slightly clearer now. by plymouth you are referring to GUI right? [11:55] AndIrc_: IO error is normally some hardware faliure [11:55] right off to test both suggestions. Thanks for your help ActionParsnip and dr_willis. Be back soon! [11:56] AndIrc_: looks like sda6 is failing, or has major issues. [11:57] no? no kernel panic logging support in ubuntu? [11:57] don't make me switch to windows, ffs [11:58] TimothyA: ranting about it wont help. [11:58] what can I do? I tried fsck but Ubuntu continues to work badly [11:58] if no one in here knows.. then we dont know. [11:58] dr_willis: apparently asking for weeks on end trying to get this problem resolved doesn't either [11:58] there should be a !rant-bot [11:58] I would have thought this would be common knowledge on how to log/find out kernel panics [11:58] AndIrc_: if the hd is failing - then i suggest making backups and using a new hd, [11:58] since it happens so goddamn often [11:59] the laptop is 4 months old! [11:59] AndIrc_: id reformat the fs, and check it with whatever tools you can find. [11:59] server is barely 1 month old and it has had 184 kernel panics to date [11:59] AndIrc_: the fact its 4 mo old dosent matter. ive hadn brand new hd's fail. [11:59] TimothyA i've never had a kernel panic, so it is not common [11:59] Only kernel panics ive had are on currupted boot media. [12:00] maybe you're doing something wrong [12:00] or flakey hardware [12:00] Very frequent kernel panics might be an indication of a blonde kernel [12:00] dr_willis: it happens on 8 different servers that I have since last month [12:00] in 3 different datacenters [12:00] then it must be you [12:00] I don't see how as the setup is completely different on each server [12:01] what can I do for now? [12:01] AndIrc_: dont use that partition perhaps? [12:01] AndIrc_: or try backing it up. reformating it. [12:01] and restoreing the data to it. [12:02] ok thnx [12:07] ActionParsnip: irqpoll didn't help: edited the grub entry just before booting and added irqpool along with quite splash. [12:08] dr_willis: i tried tiny core linux live. pretty neat BTW. and the issue exists in it as well. [12:10] Hi, ubuntu live cd and installation works fine, but when rebooting after install I only get a blinking underscore [12:10] and I don't even get to grub [12:11] I tried pressing shift to enter grub, didn't work [12:11] Hi Anyone here? [12:11] karboh, Did you md5sum the ISO image, prior to burning it at the SLOWEST speed? [12:11] kerboh: Sounds like grub either hasn't been installed properly or installed to the wrong drive [12:11] I can't stand the new menu on ubuntu, is there any way to go back? [12:12] !nounity| mark_ [12:12] mark_: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [12:12] Sidewinder1: no, I did not. Do you think that could be a problem even though the whole installation worked? [12:13] mark_: check out gnome-shell or the various annoying fallback/failsafe modes. [12:13] dr_willis: ActionParsnip: Any suggestions to fix the frozen touchpad? [12:13] and please don't start ranting [12:13] karboh, Perhaps, how do you know that the installation worked, if ti won't even boot? [12:13] mark_: theres numerous guides on tweaking unity (and gnome0shell) on the webupd8 and askubuntu.com sites [12:13] hmm, is that something I run inside ubuntu or is that the list that comes up when booting? [12:13] it, even. === andy_ is now known as Guest41147 [12:14] Sidewinder1: well, good point. But at least it gets to the point where it says that everything is done, and I just have to reboot [12:14] mark_: differnt desktiopos at the login screen you pick [12:15] karboh, It's easy enough to do, after the fact.. [12:15] karboh: You could boot to the live cd again and select repair on startup (if that's an option) [12:15] !md5sum | karboh [12:15] karboh: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [12:15] !hashes | karboh [12:15] karboh: See http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/CDs/11.10/MD5SUMS for the md5sums of the latest Ubuntu release [12:15] has the first ubuntu-bug been resolved? [12:16] Sorry, guys, I was away for a while. Did anyone eventually reply to my question? Have I missed anything? [12:16] berlinick: i imagine we dont even rember what the question was.. [12:16] Installing Ubuntu on a external usb3 harddrive. Would i see a diff from using a internal drive and the usb3 external drive (when it comes to speed) [12:16] ajin1 windows is bug #1 [12:16] Sidewinder1, ubottu, thanks, I'll try that and burn a new disc [12:16] Launchpad bug 1 in Ubuntu "Microsoft has a majority market share" [Critical,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1 [12:16] Hihi :) [12:16] but #1 is a joke [12:16] raidgh0st: usb3's are fast.. but im not sure they are internal sata speed fast.. yet... [12:16] karboh, My pleasure, and good luck! [12:17] How do I switch Java environment from server to client mode? [12:17] berlinick: check on askubuntu.com or in #java perhaps? [12:17] Then it seems like i have to find a tool to shrink the ntfs ssd drive, so i get some of the ssd space for ubuntu. [12:17] Dont know if knoppix has a tool to resize [12:17] Oh, OK, thanks! [12:18] raidgh0st: are you running windows 7? [12:18] raidgh0st: gparted normally can do that. but win7 has its own tools to resize ntfs that i find are a lot faster [12:18] Is #java on this node? [12:18] berlinick: yes [12:18] ActionParsnip: I bought a brand builded computer. and windows was pre installed [12:18] Cool, thanks! [12:18] raidgh0st: win7 can resize ntfs [12:18] without data loss? [12:18] MonkeyDust: yes, MS is the biggest bug [12:19] raidgh0st: i run linux from a normal usb2 32gb flash drive.. its slower then internal..but works fine for normal daily ussage [12:19] Win7 can somehow resize ntfs while in use.. no data loss. and at decent speeds. [12:19] And since last time i checked. Ubuntu doesnt handle windows games (like my girlfriend likes to play) [12:19] raidgh0st: 'wine' handles windows applications. [12:19] like sims ? [12:19] raidgh0st: i run dozens of games. depends on teh game [12:19] resize while in use? you mean partition without OS running on it [12:19] !appdb | raidgh0st [12:19] raidgh0st: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help === _dlm_ is now known as dlmdlm [12:20] #java: Channel is invite only :( [12:20] nikita__: more likely it said 'regiestered nicks only' [12:20] raidgh0st: it plays a few, some run amazingly [12:20] I tried to install sims3 in wine and the only thing i didnt get working was the soundcard.

I meant the BIOS version I am running. any way besides reboot? [12:29] dnivra: Nah sorry [12:29] theadmin: cp and rsync are universal so the forums help all :D [12:30] ActionParsnip: Yeah...

[12:39] A_J, so if you want to work command line only (wich might be a bit of a pain for beginners - but i honor your effort) there are some good ressources... the man pages! [12:39] so it will work for move also as mv is a cp and a rm [12:39] A_J, do you know about man pages? [12:39] no Benkinooby [12:39] hei how bout to change my user agents [12:39] A_J: Well yes, those two work [12:39] A_J, just type man man [12:39] rigasetiadi: There are browser extensions for that, and Opera has that function built-in [12:39] A_J, and read that [12:40] A_J, Well, then, you could use Grsync if you chose to do so; it may be a little easier to understand the syntax/options and, once you select what you want to do, it lists the actual rsync command, complete with syntax. "Tis your choice. [12:40] A_J, the man pages provide additional documentation for commands. so in case you don't know a command you usually can type "command --help" to get a short help or "man command". that will open the man page, wich provides an extensive explaination of the commmand sytax and its emaning [12:40] menaing [12:40] http://chris-lamb.co.uk/2008/01/24/can-you-get-cp-to-give-a-progress-bar-like-wget/ [12:41] im use the chromium browser and I ask for that browser [12:41] theadmin does the command have to be sudo ? [12:42] /part [12:42] I need to create a bootable usb from a cd iso of ipcop 2.0.0 installer [12:42] A_J: You can't really use sudo with aliases [12:42] rigasetiadi: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/djflhoibgkdhkhhcedjiklpkjnoahfmg?hl=en-US [12:42] A_J, within the man pages, wich can be very huge, you can use the search function. call the search function with a slash '/' then enter your search phrase and press enter. with 'n' and 'N'you can search forwards and backwards through the found expressions [12:42] rigasetiadi: Ton of others around as well... You should search the webstore lol [12:42] * dtcrshr reading the threa [12:42] erkerone: try unetbootin [12:42] A_J, you can leave the man pages with the key 'q' [12:43] hmm, thank you Benkinooby i'll go through it [12:43] hehehe thank ill try I have lot of webstore, but none [12:43] usually there hasn't been any problem to install java plugin.....but now :/ [12:43] ActionParsnip: since you asked where the games was from: http://ualinux.com/en/windows-download/category/6-gamepack [12:43] theadmin # Add to your bashrc, what does this mean [12:44] actionparsnip: apt get unetbootin? [12:44] A_J: This means you add that to your bashrc... [12:44] i'm not sure what that means theadmin sorry :( [12:44] A_J: There's a file in your home folder called ".bashrc", open that in ANY text editor and add paste it at the end of file [12:45] A_J, you have a file in your home folder called bashrc. it is hidden, so it is named .bashrc [12:45] A_J: That file is normally hidden, though [12:46] erkerone: sudo apt-get install unetbootin === Alex`aw is now known as BaNz [12:46] raidgh0st: all open source games? [12:47] how is the name of new package of irsii?

Version 0.8.15-4ubuntu1 (oneiric), package size 911 kB, installed size 3104 kB [12:47] padman is a good game ^^ [12:47] Benkinooby, Interesting; I have "Show hidden files", ticked, but I have no .bashrc in my home dir. Is that perhaps because I haven't put any scripts there? Shouldn't there be some there, by default? [12:48] xtremox: irssi, not irsii [12:48] theadmin do i need to add the last ' in : alias cp='rsync -r -v --progress' ; alias mv='rsync -r -v --progress --remove-sent-files' [12:48] ok thanks ^^ [12:48] what Gnome gives less load to prosessor and memory: Gnome 2 or Gnome 3 (Classic) ? [12:48] raidgh0st: I recommend urban terror if you like counterstrike stylee games [12:48] A_J, so, jsut to clear things up, what theadmin suggest is that you set aliases. aliases will replace a command with an other command. so your short 'cp' will become 'rsync -r -v --progress'. in the end you also could type the wholre rsync stuff manually, but 'cp' is more conveninet [12:48] The_BROS: If you want low CPU desktop, use XFCE of LXDE [12:48] A_J: Yes, you could have just copied the entire line. Also, I suggest using "rcp" and "rmv" instead of "cp" and "mv" for alias names because they won't break scripts this way [12:49] ooh like alieses in irssi. got it [12:49] but how about Gnome 2 and Gnome 3 Classic? [12:49] Sidewinder1, there has to be that file. use the command line and type 'ls ~/.bashrc' and see what comes [12:49] done theadmin. is the nano text editor how do i save ? [12:50] Sidewinder1, better use 'cat ~/.bashrc' to see waht's inside [12:50] what's [12:50] Benkinooby, Thanx; trying.. [12:50] Sidewinder1, so is there something coming? [12:51] A_J: The shortcuts are all at the bottom... Ctrl-O [12:51] The_BROS: Gnome2 is not developed upsteam so I don't recommend you use it, let me check resource use for both [12:51] why does Xorg have to run as root? [12:51] blackbit: Huh? It does not [12:51] thanks theadmin for your help. i'll try it out and let you know [12:52] do u mean that Gnome 2 is not supported? [12:52] ... I mean, default install, ubuntu 11.10 [12:52] blackbit: Oh, well, that's because X is started by lightdm and that runs as root [12:53] any workaround to make Xorg run as non-root? I don't think its a good idea to keep it running as root, security-wise [12:53] blackbit: It's safe enough, but workaround? Don't use a display manager [12:53] I am using 11.04 with Gnome and now I wanna change system to 11.10 with gnome classic. Will it be better? [12:53] Benkinooby, Yes, both of those commands gave output.. So why, then doesn't it show up in nautilus, with "show hidden files", 'on'? [12:53] blackbit: xinit manually from your user :D [12:53] The_BROS: its not developed now which is why Ubuntu switched to Gnome 3 [12:54] Benkinooby, All of the other .directories show up. [12:54] Sidewinder1, did you click the refresh button in nautilus when you're looking at the home directory? [12:54] The_BROS: how do you mean 'better'? [12:55] hello, my geany crashes, when i click open file. what logfile do i need to look in to get info about why this is happening [12:55] <|PuLi|> hi, if i install win7 (sda) and ubuntu (sdb) dual boot, do i install boot loader to sda or sdb? [12:55] 'better' is 'faster' and 'without problems' [12:55] The_BROS, use fluxbox XD [12:55] niklasfi: Geany doesn't log anything, run it from a terminal and watch the output [12:55] The_BROS, or Xfce or LXde [12:55] XFCE rocks, a really cute de [12:56] Feels like gnome2 [12:56] The_BROS: not sure about problems, works fine here, all I can say is try it [12:56] Benkinooby, Yes, hit refresh, it goes from .azureus to .cache; curious, 10.04, if that makes any difference, although it shouldn't. Hmm.. [12:56] theadmin, +1... although it can't beat fluxbox muhahaha [12:56] The_BROS: there are other desktops if you don't like it. XFCE smells and feels like Gnome 2 [12:56] Benkinooby: Openbox can though :P [12:56] LXDE + openbox :) [12:57] theadmin: ok. http://paste.ubuntu.com/766816/ [12:57] niklasfi: Um, that doesn't say anything, open that file... [12:57] theadmin: which file? [12:57] The_BROS, i think, as many suggested now, you'll be happy with Xfce... i think it's better supported on 11.10 [12:57] niklasfi: "geany.log", apparently, not sure where the hell it's supposed to be [12:57] than gnome2 [12:57] theadmin: ohh sorry i did echo "..." | instead of cat | [12:58] when Ubuntu released 11.10 I have Installed it, but I dont like Unity and Gnome shell didnt work at my hardware. Therefore I come back to 11.04 with Gnome 2. Now I am thinking to try Gnome Classic in 11.10. [12:58] theadmin: did not want to troll you ... really sorry for that http://paste.ubuntu.com/766819/ [12:58] niklasfi: lol that's ok [12:58] niklasfi: No offense taken [12:59] niklasfi: Bah, some GTK issue, no idea honestly, happens sometimes, can't do much about it -_- === robot is now known as __Robot__ [12:59] The_BROS: install Xubuntu and you can install and run all your gnome apps [12:59] theadmin: do you know where i can report that error? [12:59] niklasfi: Run "ubuntu-bug geany" [13:00] U mean I like it more than Gnome 3 Classic? [13:00] The_BROS: XFCE is more like GNOME 2. [13:00] Ubuntu bug command, Wow. [13:00] The_BROS: I use lxde mostly but don't mind unity shell these days, it's not bad [13:00] <__Robot__> hi, does anyone know why i keep getting the message "unable to find a medium containing a live file system" with ubuntu? im using a macbook pro and 11.10 bootable on cd and usb. and i have refit installed. [13:00] theadmin: do you know what package that is in? [13:01] niklasfi: ubuntu-bug? No, sorry, should come preinstalled [13:01] The_BROS: could also try KDE [13:01] The_BROS: there are lots to choose frmo [13:03] thanks. I am using Cairo docks. And I am just searching desktop for it. Wanna try Gnome 3 Classic with cairo [13:06] ikonia: that was even after 6.06 went EOL [13:06] __Robot__: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [13:08] The_BROS: Cairo works on any desktop, XFCE inclusive. === a is now known as Guest90513 [13:08] which is the standard password for ubuntu when you do a clean install?

[13:13] if i setup eth0 i can ping 10.10.10.x [13:13] theadmin: could have prefixed with sudo, and you wouldn't need to add 'run as root' ;) [13:13] Hi, can anyone recommend a GUI program for batch renaming files? [13:14] ActionParsnip: Then I'd have to prefix both commands with sudo... meh [13:14] theadmin, that means that all the traffic from 10.10.10.x will use that gw [13:14] while all the traffic from 192.168.x.x will use 192.168.239.254 ?

[13:23] dfavara: No, I'm now actually pretty sure the commands I gave weren't quite right... Try reading the manuals, sorry, I'm not enough bored to do so [13:24] * theadmin configures her networking via netcfg, dfavara, check it out, it's an awesome tool: http://projects.archlinux.org/netcfg.git [13:25] Sidewinder1, but it exists, as you can see it with the commandline? [13:25] Sidewinder1, are hidden files set to be shown? [13:26] Sidewinder1, maybe there is an extra option for system files? [13:26] in nautilus [13:26] it does not show up simply because its a hidden file [13:26] theadmin, to be honest i'd love to figure out hoew to get what i need from route [13:26] man is not clear IMO [13:26] you have to enable 'view hidden files' in nautilus menu [13:27] I have "show hidden files "ticked" and all the other .directories show up. === Mud is now known as Guest2692 [13:27] dfavara: I see, well heh, netcfg is brilliant -- command-line (you edit the configurations via simple files in /etc/network.d/), works with ALL the netowrking types (even weird ones such as pppoe) and really understandable [13:28] Benkinooby, blackbit This really has me stumpped. :-( [13:28] theadmin, i can find it with apt-cache search [13:28] * ActionParsnip uses wicd-curses :) [13:28] !find netcfg [13:28] File netcfg found in awesome-extra, ebox-network, mingw-w64-dev, perl, perl-doc-html, ubiquity, vzctl, wine1.2, wine1.2-dbg, wine1.3 (and 1 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=netcfg&mode=&suite=oneiric&arch=any [13:28] umm... no that's not it [13:29] theadmin: if you run: dpkg -S netcfg it should say what provides it [13:29] Sidewinder1, sure you didn't delete it? [13:29] Sidewinder1, ok, i see it in nautlius [13:29] theadmin it worked | dude thanks a lot [13:30] Benkinooby, And after I "catted" .bashrc, there were plenty of entries in it and the ~$ ls ~/.bashrc, lists it in /home?... Hmm..

[13:32] Sidewinder1, please to help you ;) [13:33] * Sidewinder1 Goes back to doing something constructive, like banging his head against the wall. :D [13:33] does anybody knows if is possible to arrange icons in the launcher? It seems to me as if the launcher is lock or something... [13:34] anyone knows why when i type route i see: Destionation : x.x.x.x and Gateway * ? [13:34] i think i should add something like: [13:34] 192.168.239.110 with gateway 192.168.239.254 [13:34] Just feel free to say "Duh", to me at any time.. [13:34] Sidewinder1, you're welcome [13:34] but if i add two default gateway it stops to work on eth0 [13:34] i'd need to ping 10.10.10.x from eth0 and 192.168.x.x from eth1 [13:34] and i really can't figure out how to do === rymate1234 is now known as rymate1234|away [13:36] ciao [13:36] !list [13:36] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [13:36] i know there is a way (certainly in Kubuntu) to restrict each connection to a single ethernet interface - I don't know if it's possible on Ubuntu though, dfavara [13:36] it has to [13:36] i'm using ssh [13:36] now GUI [13:37] I'm just saying, I don't know if it can be done - I use the KDE version of ubuntu, so my interface setup and stuff is different.

I've just asked it something in a pm, and it's not responding. [13:40] how can i tell firefox to delete history older than 30 days? [13:40] BarkingFish: how do you mean 'each connection' in your question? [13:41] BarkingFish: works fine for me [13:41] BarkingFish: ubottu responded ok here to: /msg ubottu !test [13:41] ActionParsnip: like if you have 2 wifi connections, you can set each to connect to a different network, by restricting the interface it connects to. [13:42] ActionParsnip: I have one wifi connection which is set only to connect through wlan0, and another which only connects through wlan1 === GoD is now known as Guest30681 === Guest30681 is now known as GoDy [13:42] BarkingFish: sure, i guess you could use the interfaces file if no GUI app can do it, try wicd and wifi-radar if network manager doesn't do it [13:42] this is what I figured that dfavara needs to split his connections, so he pings one of the addresses only through eth0, and sends a different connection through eth1 [13:43] ActionParsnip: no, I was asking about dfavara;'s problem [13:43] BarkingFish, right [13:43] BarkingFish: oic [13:43] that's what I thought we could do to fix it, but he's on a cmd line, not using the GUI interface [13:43] Hi There and Good day to all, is any method to restrict my FTP connections and set some IP's that i want to have access on my FTP server? without touch iptables ? [13:44] and I don't know if it's possible to restrict to a specific network interface, through the command line, ActionParsnip [13:44] ModFather: you'll need iptables or ufw [13:44] !server > BarkingFish [13:44] BarkingFish, please see my private message [13:44] yes 1 method is from iptables but i dont want to touch them [13:44] what would cause my power manager icon to show 50% on my laptop battery but it is fully charged? [13:44] is any other method ? what exactly is Ufw? [13:45] !ufw [13:45] Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist. [13:45] okey thanks alot [13:45] have a nice continue guys [13:45] dfavara, I just discovered there is actually a channel for the ubuntu server - #ubuntu-server - You might get some ideas there. [13:46] Barbariandude, i'm pretty sure [13:46] i bet it has to be done using route cmd [13:46] BarkingFish, i'm there [13:46] but no answers :/ [13:46] ah, ok [13:46] Trouble with sound: I own an hp pavillion g7. audio comes out from one speaker. even though when i reboot to windows both of them work. any advice ? [13:47] dfavara, was like "lolwut I'm popular?" nope :P [13:48] Hm. I think i'm going to use one of my alternate nicks, to save tabcomplete fail and pinging people who aren't wanting pings :) [13:48] one moment [13:48] Hey everybody :-) [13:48] How can I check how much CPU power each process is consuming?

[13:51] BoxOfHamsters any advice on how to troubleshoot ? [13:51] dnalor, check alsamixer first, and the sound setting in the system settings screen [13:51] SMS: what GPU do you use? [13:51] Hey. [13:51] SMS: is it really worth bothering with too?, the OS is fine other than that right? [13:52] yes [13:52] dnalor: I'm just looking now, please bear with me :) [13:52] Yeah , but the monitor is blank all the time its starts only when xdm shows the login window my graphics card is nvidia [13:52] dnalor, what is the sound issue anyway? you havent said [13:52] BoxOfHamsters , Gentoo64 thanks for your help! here's more info : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1893049 [13:53] dnalor, try alsamixer and see if the left/right is even [13:53] Gentoo64: yes he did :) Only gets sound out of one speaker on an HP Pavilion g7, both speakers work in windows :) [13:53] Gentoo64 it's even. and when i move it to the side that isnt working. i hear screeching sound [13:53] ah ok i didnt see that [13:53] perhaps alsamixer. [13:53] dnalor: could you open a terminal please, and type lspci | grep Audio [13:54] if you get a line containing the details of the audio device, could you please post it here? [13:54] BoxOfHamsters 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 6 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05) [13:54] guys, how to install to Unalocated partition? I try to install but it says no root file system selected but I can't select anything [13:54] ubuntu , using gparted, intiialize the partition. [13:55] ubuntu, you need to format it as ext4 or whatever [13:55] then choose / as the mount point === N3x4 is now known as Ext4 [13:55] but U cant [13:55] yeah you can [13:55] ubuntus installer comes with gparted [13:55] i cant [13:55] dnalor: thanks - could you run the same command again, but in this format please - lscpi -n | grep Audio [13:55] why not? [13:56] ubuntu: part of the install is to partition, if you select to do 'something else' you can setup the partitions in the free space manually [13:56] I want to see the numeric ID of the sound device, so I can check it and see what it should be using. [13:56] @ActionParsnio I have nvidia... i had installed nvidia-173 package but xserver was not working had to uninstall it [13:56] BoxOfHamsters No Output [13:56] ubuntu: you want the same amount of swap space as RAM, and the rest as ext4 format as / [13:56] Sorry ActionParsnip.. [13:57] dnalor: hm [13:57] ActionParsnip he needs additional space for /boot [13:57] dnalor, you dont need /boot [13:57] or anything but / [13:57] well its optional [13:57] dnalor: Sorry, that was my fault, I gave you the wrong command. It should be lspci -nn | grep Audio [13:57] sorry [13:58] that gives you the text name and the 8 digit vendor / product ID [13:58] BoxOfHamsters np, 00:1b.0 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation 6 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller [8086:1c20] (rev 05) [13:58] /boot is only mandatory if you want to encrypt the whole / (not just the home) [13:58] thanks, please give me a few moments to look this up, dnalor and I will get back to you [13:58] ram in a 1:1 ratio is to my knowledge the rule of thumb for servers [13:58] BoxoOfHamsters thank you!

There's an issue with that card on some laptops through ubuntu - I found a bug relating to that card, albeit on a different version (this is on Lucid) [14:00] Hi. Why would a cronjob running some script that runs ffmpeg fail with error code 32512 (at the point at which ffmpeg is called) whereas it works when I run it directly from the terminal in any directory?

[14:06] Alright then: I'm running Ubuntu Server 11.10, using Webmin and remote shell. I would also, however, like to be able to log in using Total Commander and SFTP - this making fle handling a lot easier. Total Commander will establish contact with the server on port 21 and port 22, using the same credentials as my SSH-user. But it always ends with a "connection refused". So I take it it's a configuration issue at the server end somehow. [14:06] whitekidney: i'm running classic ubuntu on 11:04 .. works fine with me :) [14:07] ah, ok then dnalor - this might help you then. If you read the bug report I linked you to, it says that apparently the sound works normally since 11.04 [14:07] dnalor, this is from the bug: Sound works fine with Ubuntu 11.04, so installing linux-image-generic-lts-backport-natty package from ppa:kernel-ppa also fixes this problem.

[14:09] dnalor: wait what, you can't? [14:09] dnalor: that sounds weird.. [14:10] dnalor: No, it says in the bug report that using the official updates doesn't fix the problem, you need to update the kernel using a fix from a personal packaging archive [14:10] dnalor: "Installing official linux-backports-modules-alsa-lucid-generic package doesn't fix this problem " [14:11] if i have a domain pointed to a router with NAT, and behind that NAT is a server which i want to run irssi on, is there any way i can use the domain name as irssi vhost behind NAT+ [14:11] ? [14:11] I stand corrected, dnalor - that was the right page. I apologise. [14:11] I'm clearly not completely "with it" today :( [14:11] BoxOfHamsters: hmm seems i'll have to wait it out. unless ! is there a way of running classic ubuntu on 11:10 ? [14:12] dnalor: You can go ahead and use the information that you had on that webpage, it is correct [14:13] If you have the kernel-ppa in your setup, that's where this bugfix is too [14:13] BoxOfHamsters: checking headers list it only shows linux-headers-2.6.38 there's no .39 :\ [14:14] hi [14:14] dnalor: updated your sources?

[14:22] mukund, i wouldnt worry about it then :) [14:22] haha :D [14:22] Yeah but i am curious to know [14:22] exiff, ufw is the easiest way [14:22] mukund, i really have no idea why its doing that :s [14:22] please help [14:23] I had earlier installed nvidia drivers [14:23] exiff, i take it you opened ports on your router (to your local ip) ? as ubuntus firewall is disabled by default [14:24] mukund, with my setup I only see the boot splash for like 1 second before login screen appears, then I found out after installing cryptsetup (used to make encrypted partitions) it then showed me the boot splash from start to finish. [14:24] mukund, its probably something to do with the gpu drivers yes, you could try removing them and see if it works [14:24] exiff: are you sitting behind a router or direct connection [14:24] mukund: if you drop the @ symbol, highlighting will work properly [14:24] @mukund see how this is not highlighted ;) [14:24] xdm has some problems with nvidia i guess , it just wouldnt start (Xserver) had to uninstall nvidia and delete xorg.conf and restart x server so that default xorg file comes..since then no startup loader [14:24] Im not on ubuntu right now (im on my phone).. where can i learn about configuring it? [14:25] exiff, just do sudo ufw enable [14:25] then open the ports you want [14:25] guys I installed airfoilspeakers on 11.10 and I get te following error [14:25] or, close them in the router [14:25] Missing method System.Reflection.PropertyInfo::op_Inequality(PropertyInfo,PropertyInfo) in assembly /usr/lib/mono/2.0/mscorlib.dll [14:25] Im behind a router on my phone [14:25] @ActionParsnip ok thanks i will do that [14:25] May someone please give me some hint how to find out if there are any files opened via smb?

[14:26] exiff, sudo ufw enable, then sudo ufw allow 22 for eg [14:26] ActionParsnip: no I can't find any, I believe it is because I have to force it to run with 4.0 [14:26] exiff, i take it you have no access to your router [14:26] I dont [14:27] ok [14:27] rasmusth: 4.0 version of what?

[14:31] rasmusth: its the same app as you'd use if you were playing it locally [14:32] Some output i dont understand.. i used network tools on another computer to scan for open ports [14:32] anyone know of a console program to convert pdf to epub, i know calibre for gui, but looking for console only [14:32] rasmusth: it just displays on the client system, but is running on the server, so the sound will come out of the remote box you connect to [14:32] exiff, what does ss-l say [14:32] ss -l [14:32] it will show listening services === daz_ is now known as Guest5189 [14:33] fris: [14:33] ActionParsnip, : natty [14:33] fris: http://epub2pdf.com/ [14:34] On some of them it shows the service names.. such as gnunet,nfs,ssh.. others just the port number [14:34] pinguy: sweet, just curious. If you use: lsusb you will get an 8 character hex ID you can use to fnd guides [14:34] exiff, yeah some are local [14:34] fris: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1491373 [14:35] But ya.

No java-based, this has to be AJAX or something similar. [14:37] ActionParsnip, so the search 0bb4:0b2f ubuntu is not likely to lead me to gps information [14:37] I found it (i think)... thanks again Gentoo64. ^^, [14:38] Wanderin1Ender, there is that html5 ssh project, very cool last time I looked..

[14:40] the ports must have been allowed by someone [14:40] hello [14:40] my isp [14:40] ActionParsnip: Awesome, thanks. This is for that Motorola Webtop as a client, so its limited in what it can do. [14:40] ok, so any one know how to use gpsgate or gps2blue with linux ? [14:40] exiff, oh ok [14:40] exiff, not sure what they did. normally all ports are closed unless you specially open them [14:41] i have a motorola atrix 4g. is there something i should know about it and linux wanderlingender ? [14:41] Theres a section here that has firewall rules... ill just block port by port and see which programs complain..

[14:45] pinguy:isn't gps2blue a pocketpc soft, giving gps to bluetooth? [14:46] ActionParsnip: it is an USB mouse, the touchpad is working [14:46] llutz, yes it is [14:46] pinguy: so how will you use USB then? [14:46] jost: does smbstatus help any? [14:46] fly80: do other USB devices work ok? [14:47] i have no other devices [14:47] fly80: hmm, are the ports enabled in BIOS?

Thanks so far. [14:47] i think so, i checked it yesterday , but I can check again [14:47] pinguy: if your device is giving gps via usb too, try "gpsd -n -N -D4 /dev/ttyUSBx" (replace x with real device number) [14:48] ActionParsnip: if it's not that... what can be? [14:48] llutz, i am installing gpsd at the moment. thanks, i will try that after its installed :) [14:49] pinguy: check "dmesg" to get the proper device. when gpsd runs, check for data "telnet localhost 947" [14:49] xchat does not alow copy :( i will have to use my brain :p [14:49] please someone help me :P [14:49] pinguy: err* "telnet localhost 2947" [14:49] fly80: tried a different port?

To the ducking stool [14:50] Ah well, this place seems somewhat crowded (and rightfully so). So I'll return later.. :) [14:51] ActionParsnip: i'll try to check on BIOS... maybe it's just that... i hope [14:51] ActionParsnip: lowtech gimmicks [14:51] fly80: boot without the mouse inserted and log in as normal, then attach the device, wait a few seconds and run: dmesg | tail; lsb_release -a and pastebin the content please [14:51] wouldnt it be nice to have voice chat foe a change?

[15:06] dr_willis, should I reboot etc or...? [15:06] Or remove nouveau? [15:06] Dj_FlyBy, thats probably sufficient. what kind of file system is this [15:07] +i [15:07] matt__: oh for sure but for desktop stuffs its sweet [15:07] escott: reiserfs [15:07] escott: it is the / partition [15:07] Who's got eggs for breakfast? [15:07] ActionParsnip, yeah, I actually thought I was on the proprietary driver, since I'd checked that box during install. That's how good it worked.

[15:11] I have to change the manager of the numerical codes of the keys from default one to one provided by another application, in this case keytouch. I was advised to check the keytouch configuration files. I found the named keytouch file in /etc/init.d whose content is as follows: [15:12] cristian_c: use pastebin [15:12] please [15:12] Dj_FlyBy, you probably want to use the command line reiser tools. reiser isn't too commonly used these days and the gui may not support it [15:12] christian_c: paste.ubuntu.com [15:13] Myrtti, http://paste.ubuntu.com/766923/ [15:13] ActionParsnip: /home/user/.iceauthority: ERROR: cannot open `/home/user/.iceauthority' (No such file or directory) [15:13] lbbef_, the filename is .ICEauthority [15:14] Myrtti, But there is no trace of udev :( [15:14] escott: I assume that ext4 has 'replaced' reiserfs *in a matter of speaking* ? [15:14] Myrtti, The other file I checked is called 55keytouchd_launch (which is located in /etc/X11/Xsession.d) whose content is as follows: [15:14] i was never sure of the main reason to use reiserfs. === Exio is now known as Ext4 [15:14] lbbef_: I corrected myself with the second command, linux is very case sensitive [15:15] escott: I don't suppose I can change the fs type without loosing data? [15:15] cristian_c: yes, well I don't know anything about your problem, I just asked you to use pastebin as it looked like you were going to paste the output to the channel [15:15] ActionParsnip: /home/user/.ICEauthority: ERROR: cannot open `/home/user/.ICEauthority' (No such file or directory) [15:15] Dj_FlyBy, reiser was never that popular, although it had some nice features. if you like reiser then btrfs is probably your next FS [15:15] Dj_FlyBy: just format then restore files from backup :) [15:15] lbbef_: hmm [15:15] Hello. Why is it that I am unable to set the permissions for a folder in the /host directory in such a way that I can access them with my normal user account? [15:16] jutnux, http://paste.ubuntu.com/766926/ [15:16] Tetracomm: what filesystem is in use for /host/ ? [15:17] dr_willis: I think it is NTFS. It is the partition that came with this Windows 7 computer. [15:17] ActionParsnip: Yea, I just wanted to avoid waiting for the time consuming restoration (approx 6TB of data) [15:17] Tetracomm: thats why then, you dont chown/chmod ntfs or vfat on a file.folder basis,. you set the options when you mount them [15:17] escott: thanks I'll check out btrfs [15:18] Hello, i'm using an ubuntu with gnome 2. i've an ati graphic card, with catalyst activated.

I do have the recommended stuff installed, indeed. [15:25] It's plugged in by a HDMI-cable [15:25] Mjoo: Have you opened up Nvidia-settings and looked in there? gksudo nvidia-settings [15:25] Alongside with a DVI-Connection - which I get my other monitor through. [15:26] I did check it out in the Nvidia-settings [15:26] Mjoo: You enabled twinview in the nvidia settings> [15:26] Mjoo: if you run: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current it will install the driver for you :) [15:26] Did however not find anything resolveable-lookin' :/ [15:26] jutnux, what is the default handler of the numerical codes of the keys in ubuntu? [15:26] cristian_c, I don't know, sorry. [15:26] Is there a way to adjust this maxed-out resolution? not in the GUI, in a shell. the GUI is 1080p but this seems to be about 800 x 600 or less [15:26] Mjoo: the monitor was plugged in when you powered up the pc? is this a laptop or desktop? [15:26] How do you enable twinview? [15:27] It was plugged in, It's a desktop. [15:27] Mjoo: a check box/setting in nvidia-settings tool has twinview [15:27] How do I burn an ISO using Ubuntu 11.10?

[15:29] Mjoo, log in and out. [15:29] 6 [15:29] or? [15:30] Mjoo, or restart the whole machine. [15:30] Will try, brb [15:30] Mjoo: I'd reboot so you know how it will act on a cold start [15:30] jutnux, Mjoo is you case log off + log on :) [15:34] Hello again, It seems to detect it now. [15:34] However, I do have a problem with it not being aligned properly [15:34] How do I get a dialup connection? The Oneiric DVD doesn't have kppp or gnome-ppp ... or I can't connect to the web. [15:35] It does not show the "complete" picture. [15:35] Mjoo: That will happen if the dimensions are different. [15:35] Mjoo: Change the resolution? [15:35] I did set it to 1920x1080 [15:35] And 60hz [15:36] No resolve, anything else that you can try? [15:36] Not that I know of. [15:36] Is the monitor 1920x1080 [15:36] and what is the zoom resolution in nvidia-settings? [15:36] Indeed it is, zoom resolution? [15:36] Where is that? [15:36] Click advanced [15:36] In the monitor settingsd [15:37] Aye [15:37] No zoom-option :( [15:37] join #oneiric [15:39] Mjoo: if you made an xorg.conf file, you can manually set the res there [15:40] hmm. This is really strange. Netbook, 7200-rpm disk and yet installing packags is really really slow [15:40] But I believe the resolution is fine ActionParsnip [15:40] The problem is that it looks zoomed(?) [15:40] Madkiss: could add the mount option: noatime and it can speed things up on disks [15:41] Madkiss: could because of the fact it's a netbook [15:41] be because* [15:42] Is there any equivalent to MS paint for linux? Gimp seems to be overkill for my purposes [15:42] Madkiss: maybe the rpms are high but the access time may still be high [15:42] tuxpaint [15:42] Stava: Tuxpaint [15:42] Stava: mtpaint [15:42] thanks, i'll try them out [15:43] I'm getting "/bin/bash: No such file or directory" when I try to ssh into my box. Local login works fine, just ssh [15:43] ActionParsnip: Where can you see any option for zooming? [15:43] It started last night, randomly. I didn't do anything different - it just stopped working [15:43] In nvidia x Settings [15:43] SoulShadow: well, my girlfriend's netbook has far less power cpu/ram/hdd-wise and is yet faster, running Ubuntu 11.04 (this is 11.10). [15:44] maybe you have a crappy hard drive === Timic_ is now known as Timic [15:45] Seagate ST320LT007-9ZV14 [15:45] that's the thing [15:47] system load isn't even high. hm. [15:47] escott: hmmm, had to unmount the drive to be able to check it. Turns out it is not the filesystem that is the problem but rather it is the drive which since last night has developed 68 bad sectors [15:47] Anyone know how to fix the problem of Ubuntu(NVIDIA X Server) zooming in the picture displayed on my tv [15:48] ? [15:48] Resolution is set to 1920x1080 - native. [15:48] On both screens, running twinview [15:48] Mjoo: Try lowering the resolution. [15:49] That made the problem wors Jutnux [15:49] worse* [15:49] Ah [15:49] pconwell, are you able to ssh in? [15:49] Have a browse around the settings. [15:49] It do seem that it's taking 1920x1200 for granted [15:49] And zooming in from that [15:49] Any way around that? [15:51] escott: no, but I *can* log in locally [15:52] escott: here is exactly what happens: http://pastebin.com/qWbi83qU [15:53] jutnux: turns out the problem was the tv's settings [15:53] Thanks for your support! :) [15:53] Ah. [15:53] What was the problems? [15:53] I don't really know, it had some setting called HDMI PC Full Mode [15:54] Which was turned off [15:54] Was listed under misc settings [15:54] Hi guys, i was just wondering which ubuntu distro that will suit a notebook. Per today i'm using Ubuntu, but it's running a bit slow. Probably due to the 1 gig ram.. Any suggestions? [15:55] janix, the newer the distro, the more likely it has drivers for your hardware [15:56] janix: Try installing a lighter desktop environment or running Unity 2d. [15:56] If you install xfce then it will run super fast. [15:56] sigh, I hate having to resize a drive, especially just so I can install Ubuntu due to the main drive failing..... YuCk! [15:57] im using the 11.10 distro, but i was thinking of maybe the xumbutu or kubuntu version [15:57] DJ_FlyBy, do you have an Ultimate Boot CD? [15:57] janix: Xubuntu would be your best bet. [15:57] janix: also take a look at LXDE - you _might_ like it better than xfce.. [15:57] LXDE resembles windows. [15:57] pconwell, is your ssh configured to chroot you in some way? [15:57] jutnux: as in ms windows? [15:57] jutnux: no, but it is retrievable I assume? [15:58] escott: no - or at least it wasn't. I didn't do any special configuring on sshd - and it was working yesterday just fine. Last night it randomly starting throwing that error [15:59] jutnux: I have more than one pc so making a disk is easy, I just don't have any extra hard drives so I have to resize one of my 1.5TB drives to make room for the new install [16:00] Dj_flyBy: Ultimate Boot Cd has loads of tools on for computer repair. [16:00] ohh, yea i could try another environment, and then try the xumbuntu if the new desktop won't do the trick. Thanks everyone! appreciate it! [16:01] jutnux: no point in trying to repair it. The hard drive has 68 bad sectors on it that appeared overnight [16:01] sorry, i seek a german ubuntu chanel. Know somebody of one?

[17:28] i have now latest grub-efi and i did boot with UEFI option, but still grub says unknown filesystem. i have ext4 [17:28] travishaze im in ubuntu 10.04 add tool is not an option [17:28] Does the logitech device start halting? [17:28] BluesKaj, would be easy but it is not working any more [17:28] Your on LTS, so your running Gnome2 [17:28] So just right click [17:28] And it'll be there [17:28] Add to Panel btw [17:28] <``PeeR> travisHAZE: first it is really slow and then I got the message that I must send a notification... then that my notification is already sent.. [17:28] what package do I want to install KDE in ubuntu 11.10? [17:29] kubuntu-desktop [17:29] <``PeeR> travisHAZE: it's already in the panel... [17:29] peer, that one was for bfri [17:29] <``PeeR> oh ko :P sorry [17:30] Does your computer support ACPI? [17:30] or APIC? [17:30] Im running 11.10 and I have a ntfs partition from when I used windows, It was working just fine until suddenly I was not able to write/delete, just to read from it, I ran the disk utility and it is telling me that the filesystem is not clean, what can I do to fix it or to be able to write/delete again? [17:30] <``PeeR> apic? [17:30] Here I was just trying to set up an ftp client, and it wouldn't see my ~ dir. so I did "chmod a=rw ~" Everything immediately crashed, I was kicked out of the system, etc. Then I logged in as root and did "chmod -R a=rwx /home/andrey" . Should I be worried/anything else I should do? [17:30] raven, most disks have load menu written in first 512 bytes afaik ,and this process is part of finalizing a disk :P [17:31] ``PeeR, it's basically a power management tool [17:31] josue2es: you can force mount it but I don't advise it unless you have a backup. I suggest you wipe it and use a Linux file system and restore the data back (assuming you are only using the partition for data storage) [17:31] ActionParsnip, still same :/ [17:31] simple question here i removed the battery display on my panel, anyone know how to get it back? [17:31] I have a system that often sets up virtual machines and destroys them. And each of those virtual machines regularly install packages. How do I setup squid-deb-proxy-client so that it acquires packages from a cache server thats remote and not part of the local LAN. According to what I read squid-deb-proxy only works when it's a LAN. But the cache server I have is remote. [17:32] <``PeeR> travisHAZE: I don't know... I'm a n00b again since I've installed ubuntu... I know 3 Windows OS on my fingers but now I feel like learning all of it again... lol [17:32] Does your system stop letting the logitech hardware function [17:32] APIC and ACPI is a hardware thing [17:32] Its cross-platform [17:32] And is installed in your BIOS [17:32] Have two natty laptops that I'm trying to make communicate so I can transfer some data over. One is running off of a LiveUSB with the Sharing service installed (both have sharing) and they don't see each other. [17:32] <``PeeR> ok well I have juste ubuntu on this machine [17:32] myrmidette, as long as you didnt chmod -r you are find [17:33] escott, but I did [17:33] ``PeeR, try opening grub on your next boot and add "acpi=off noapic nolapic" in your boot parameters behind "--quiet-splash" [17:33] And then see if that fixes the problem [17:34] <``PeeR> travisHAZE: hum.. i'm afraid you will have to write me a step by step :S... if you're up to it.. [17:34] ActionParsnip the partition is mounted, the only thing that I cant do is to write/delete the files on it [17:34] myrmidette, well you've now marked everything as executable, and given everyone permissions to all modify any of your files [17:34] HashNuke: you could set up an apt-cacher-ng server to cache the packages [17:34] wunnle: turn of power management in windows for the USB, may help [17:34] that's probably bad [17:34] <``PeeR> cause I don't know what is grub first of all [17:34] ActionParsnip, from BIOS? [17:34] but if I try to change it back I'm scared I'll crash smthing [17:34] josue2es: but you can see the files themselves, just not do anything with them [17:34] dr_willis: whats the diff between squid-deb-proxy and apt-cacher-ng? [17:34] wunnle: no, in device manager in windows [17:34] ActionParsnip: correct [17:34] ``PeeR, oh jeez. OK GRUB is Ubuntu's boot manager. When your booting your PC hit and hold SHIFT and it will open GRUB (this is before the ubuntu loading screen pops up) [17:34] <``PeeR> hum travisHAZE ok thx I'll make some search and be back ;) thx [17:35] I can access the files but not modify them or delete dem [17:35] HashNuke: never used the squid thang. [17:35] <``PeeR> travisHAZE: ok that will help me, thx :) [17:35] Then you edit (via 'e') the boot parameters like I told you earlier [17:35] dr_willis: oh ok thanks! [17:35] Then Ctrl X or F10 to boot [17:35] ActionParsnip, ok, brb again. [17:35] josue2es: I'd put the drive in a windows pc and fully scandisk it. [17:35] HashNuke: i set up apt-cacher-ng on one box on my lan. and point the rest of the pcs to use that as their apt source. it caches everything for them [17:35] If it doesn't crash, send me an email (tcsvyem@gmail.com) and I'll help you make the change permanent [17:36] escott, but if I try to change it back I'm scared I'll crash something [17:36] dr_willis: is it on demand or does it download all packages on one go and only then it's ready to serve them [17:36] ? [17:36] ActionParsnip: its on my laptop, It would be a little difficult to do it [17:36] any ideas? [17:36] josue2es: not hugely, you can easily take lappy drives out and there are convertes so you can connect them to desktop connectors [17:37] escott, I think I'm safe if I have no ssh server running, right? [17:37] josue2es: probably easier to format it then restore your data to a healthy partition [17:37] for whatever reason when i login my wireless adapter driver isn't loaded like it should. i always have to use in terminal, "sudo modprobe b43" [17:37] hmm i did grub-install and update-grub but that didnt help. still saying with UEFI bios unknown filesystem [17:37] so i installed gnome through ubuntu download center but still i get the gnome 2 not 3 [17:37] any ideas? [17:37] lnxslck what ubuntu version? [17:37] myrmidette, since you -R'd the "corrective" chmod you've dug yourself a bit of a hole. the best thing to do is create a new user, and then copy your data files over, but put the correct permissions on them (usually 600 or 640 depending upon preference), and then delete the current user account [17:38] ActionParsnip: yeah, I just didnt want to loose that info, I dont currently have any other HD in which that info will fit [17:38] MonkeyDust, 11.10? [17:38] josue2es: there are windows live cd's that you can boot and try to get to fix thangs. #windows would know more on them [17:38] raven, you could try loading the disk in VLC , it might recognize it [17:38] shankysv87: run: echo "b43" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules > /dev/null and it will be loaded at boot [17:38] lnxslck to find out, type lsb_release -a [17:38] <``PeeR> travisHAZE: you seems good, i took notes... are you here for a moment? [17:39] MonkeyDust, 11.10, that's the one [17:39] lnxslck try gnome-shell, then [17:39] ``PeeR, email me, got company coming over [17:39] <``PeeR> email ? [17:39] it'll go to my phone [17:39] I told you === Ext4 is now known as Nax4 [17:40] <``PeeR> in pv? [17:40] escott, what are the dangers? [17:40] ActionParsnip, still the same :( [17:40] Ubuntu 11.10 after I resume from suspend My Keyboard and/or mouse take turns no accepting key inputs. Function / Super Keys continue to work. I have to logout and back in to correct it === bruenig is now known as Borromin2 [17:41] <``PeeR> ok thx travisHAZE === Nax4 is now known as Ekzio [17:42] Have two natty laptops that I'm trying to make communicate so I can transfer some data over. One is running off of a LiveUSB with the Sharing service installed (both have sharing) and they don't see each other. [17:42] wunnle: did you add the line I gave in /etc/rc.local above the exit 0 line? [17:42] I'm really reluctant to have to reproduce all my configs again as a new user [17:42] ActionParsnip, yep. [17:42] travisHAZE: can each system ping the other? [17:42] wunnle: is the system a laptop? [17:42] ActionParsnip, yes. [17:43] travisHAZE, is networking started on both machines? [17:43] wunnle: I'd remove the line you added to rc.local as it does nothing [17:43] wunnle: do you have the latest BIOS? [17:43] wunnle: what is the make and model? [17:43] hail !! people of this channel !! === Ekzio is now known as x4 [17:44] how to know which gcc version was used to compile the kernel ? [17:44] <_robot__> I tried the disktest and ramtest both were fine, the cd is burned on the lowest speed possible. i tried with rEFIt and without and with usb, cd and both. still getting the error message : "unable to find a medium containing a live file system" [17:45] webnet, I have folders being shared [17:45] the folders I want the data to be transferred from/to [17:45] travisHAZE: can the systems ping? [17:45] I've figured out how to ping, but I haven't figured out how to get the internal IPs of the machines through terminal [17:46] <_robot__> ActionParsnip: I tried the disktest and ramtest both were fine, the cd is burned on the lowest speed possible. i tried with rEFIt and without and with usb, cd and both. still getting the error message : "unable to find a medium containing a live file system" [17:46] travisHAZE, is the networking system started on both machines? [17:46] And going through the router is a pain [17:46] i didnt like unity in ubuntu 11.10, so im wanting to switch over to kde, can someone help me get started [17:46] travisHAZE, ifconfig [17:47] They ping each other [17:47] Jeaton, do you kave any sensitive files that need to be backed up? [17:47] Jeaton sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop -- or: backup and fresh install [17:47] ActionParsnip, yes, asus k53s [17:47] travisHAZE: for a linux to linux file transfer - id just use ssh/scp or sshfs [17:47] wunnle: are there any bugs reported? [17:47] None of those mean anything to me, sorry [17:47] !ssh | travisHAZE [17:47] travisHAZE: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [17:47] And the files to be transferred are large [17:47] i want to know which gcc version is used to compile the kernel i'm running so i can install the correct version [17:47] server installation [17:47] anyone ? [17:47] escott, I disconnected just now, if you said anything please repeat :) [17:47] Jeaton, easiest would be to do a fresh install of kubuntu, but otherwise run sudo apt-get kubuntu-desktop [17:47] travisHAZE: your definition of large may not be mine... [17:47] :) [17:47] thanks [17:47] 11 GB [17:48] For 2 files [17:48] (ableit compressed) [17:48] ActionParsnip, i didn't find any bugs, but people have same problem on ubuntu forum, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1060002.html [17:49] travisHAZE, ok if they ping each other than my questions are answered :) how do you have them configured to see each other? [17:49] myrmidette, on a multi user system you have no protection from other users. on a single user system applications that demand the correct permissions will not work (ie ssh will assume your ssh key and authorized_keys files are compromised). also be thinking about backups. if you take a cp -a or rsync -a backup then you will be preserving these bad permissions in your backups [17:49] sam22 gcc --version [17:49] hello guys, can I ask a newbie question regarding wildcard expansion? (globbing) [17:49] pikaciu it's not installed [17:49] i want to install it [17:49] escott, k thnx [17:49] Connected to the same network, with the folders shared [17:49] IDK any other way to configure sharing on ubt [17:49] wunnle: all I can suggest is report a bug, maybe others can advise [17:50] I think I'll just try to change any sensitive files like the keys [17:50] travisHAZE: how are they networked? through a router? [17:50] Through a Linksys Type N router [17:50] wifi [17:50] ActionParsnip, ok, thanks for help. [17:50] travisHAZE: so they can ping each other? you know each ones ip? [17:51] yep [17:51] travisHAZE: ok, if you run: smbtree do you see the shares [17:52] hey guys, i changed my partition size and it screwed up grub loader [17:52] i need some help getting it back :( [17:52] anyone who could tell me why the whole system is slow to any interaction after installing the latest updates? [17:52] i get a very low resolutions (640x680) when connecting the pc to the tv. I know for sure the tv is able to have more resolutions (ive connected other pcs via hdmi and get high resolutions). i installed latest nvidia drivers and get only 2 resolutions (320x200 and 640x480) can anybody help me? [17:52] ive seen wireless routers cause issues with samba :() heh. [17:52] clear`: boot to liveCD and reinstate the bootloader may help [17:52] sam22 : you can uname -r and then search the web for an appropriate gcc [17:52] I can see both PCs with smbtree, but they're in different "workgroups" [17:52] Didn't know linux used workgroups [17:52] back [17:53] SAMBA uses workgroups.. [17:53] rk: your screen isn't reporting EDID like good ones do, you may need to run: sudo nvidia-xconfig then reboot [17:53] hey all. [17:53] travisHAZE: sure, PCs must either be in a workgroup or domain [17:53] travisHAZE: you edit the /etc/samba/smb.conf to set up what workgroup you want. [17:54] everything is slowed down, but looking at procs and such the load is almost idle but feels like the cpu is on a really heavy load? [17:54] does the side by side window stuff described here work in oneric/unity? [17:54] https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/ubuntu-help/shell-windows-states.html [17:54] travisHAZE: do you see the shares in the smbtree, not just the systems.. [17:54] The LiveUSB can see everything [17:54] This can't see anything with smbtree [17:54] ActionParsnip: thanks, i will google how [17:54] sam22 : ad ex. gcc 4.4.5 is good for 2.6.35.31 [17:54] I'm alt-clicking and dragging to the left and right but no bannana [17:54] nvm it took a bit to run [17:54] cli_start_connection: failed to connect to UBUNTU<20> (0.0.0.0).

[17:55] ActionParsnip: i just did what you told me... im still stuck on low resolutions :( [17:55] ActionParsnip: any pointer i can follow to fix this? [17:56] travisHAZE: you may want to get in the habbit of not using spaces in share names.. it can cause annoying problems at times. [17:56] rk: run: gksudo nvidia-settings then set the res to something, then click "save to x config file" [17:56] I don't have any spaces [17:56] in my share names [17:57] rk: you can then run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the res in the file [17:57] I have a - in my pcs name [17:58] Also, I was full of crap when I said they could see everything [17:58] Each PC can only see their share folder [17:59] travisHAZE: you may need to run; sudo smbpasswd -a $USER then set a samba password, you can then authenticate as the user using the pasword you set. May help [17:59] travisHAZE: well which path did you set in samba [17:59] if they are in different workgroups that would make sence. and yes. users do need a samba password like mentioned avbove [18:00] I have it set (for this instance only) to allow guests full access to these folders [18:00] Still need a samba pw? [18:00] set one anywayt [18:00] How can I permanently enable third button emulation in oneiric? [18:01] i normally just edit the smb.conf to allow home shares, writeable, and set a samba password.. and then the users can get to their own homes from any box on the network [18:01] but for a quick transfer of 2 files. id just install ssh and use 'scp filename user@remotebox' [18:01] in smb.conf they both have workgroup set as their workgroup [18:02] travisHAZE: you did resstart teh samba service after editing that file? === axel is now known as Guest23498 [18:02] I haven't edited the file at all [18:02] Its still default [18:02] both smb.conf files report that 'workgroup = WORKGROUP' [18:02] you did install samba? 'sudo apt-get install samba' ? [18:03] travisHAZE: then youe setting is 'user' [18:03] My empathy accounts are lost at next computer start.... so I've to re-entry all the information every time. Any suggestion? [18:03] travisHAZE: yeah, install openssh-server and use SSHFS, nautilus can connect to it [18:03] I haven't done that. Just did it, said its already latest version [18:03] hello. how i can change the order of my OSs in Grub? [18:04] ActionParsnip, I'll set that as last resort, I'd rather use tools available to me already [18:04] th^2: edit /etc/default/grub [18:04] i'm using 10.04 and nualilus won [18:04] i'm using 10.04 and nautilus won [18:04] travisHAZE: edit smb.cof and change in 'share' [18:04] th^2: do you want windows to be top? [18:04] ActionParsnip, yes === zkriesse_away is now known as zkriesse [18:05] in smb.conf and change what in share? [18:05] th^2: gimme a sec [18:05] anyone know why installing mysql-server-5.1 hangs with runlevel:/var/run/utmp: No such file or directory [18:05] this should do the job? [18:05] travisHAZE: security [18:05] ? :( [18:05] GRUB_DEFAULT="Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sdc1)" [18:05] i'm using 10.04 and nautilus won't search.. i click search enter a term and press enter .. it doesn't do anything! i tried reinstalling nautilus but no go.. [18:05] travisHAZE: in the nautilus file manager, you can enter the machine names, or ips directly - ie: hit ctrl-l and enter smb://###.###.###.###/sharename (use the ip of the server) and it should see it.. unless theres some firewall/other issues === Borromin2 is now known as bruenig [18:06] dr_willis, isn't gvfs grand? [18:06] th^2: sudo mv /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober /etc/grub.d/06_os-prober && sudo update-grub [18:06] travisHAZE: some times the machine name method fails.

[18:07] bucky: i imagine ssh is close :) [18:07] llutz, whattahell? [18:07] ActionParsnip, danke! i will try that out [18:07] th^2: GRUB_DEFAULT= will need an entry-number. so no - your entry won't do [18:07] dr_willis: bucky: I'd say mencoder etc [18:08] no arguement from me :) [18:09] llutz, ActionParsnip thx. thats it :) [18:09] next you could recommend me a wallpaper changer :D like win 7 has default [18:09] or just change it manually [18:09] gnome themes? is that in gnome 3 ? [18:09] travisHAZE, or maybe not [18:10] th^2: I believe one is built in... [18:10] by the interval i mean. like every 15mins or so [18:10] th^2: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/06/wallpaper-slideshow-app-for-gnome-3/ [18:10] ActionParsnip, I meant a software wich changes it automatically [18:10] dr_willis, trying to connect via IP returns failed to mount Windows w/e, trying to connect via machine name results in a similar error, but at least a little but more success [18:11] ActionParsnip, okay and how many entries your bookmarks folder has? :D [18:11] that's probably the second most documented trick on google [18:11] The machine name error is "Error: failed to retrieve share list from server." [18:11] travisHAZE: you sure thats the proper share name? if you got spaces in the share name.. now would be a good time to make a share without spaces for testing. [18:11] th^2: none, I just websearch like anybody else can.. [18:11] changed lisa bckup to lisabckup [18:11] so no spaces [18:11] mmmm [18:11] th^2: all the guides Ive given you I have found using searches [18:12] any idea why the whole system is super slow? loads are fine and cant see any processes eating up the cpu? [18:12] connecting via IP lets me into the machine [18:13] Trying to access to folder results is failed to mount [18:13] Guys I've installed the p7zip module but when I try to open my 7zip archives I get the message 'Archive type not supported.' apart from the first archive (7z.001) which opens fine? [18:13] travisHAZE: so smb://theip.nimber/ shows all the shares ? [18:13] trying to load up something through LAN is also slowed down, only putting through less than 100kb/s [18:13] dr_willis, yes, but wont let me access it (from the LiveUSB cd I can only access the machine with no shares) [18:13] ActionParsnip, maybe i need some practicing then :D [18:14] th^2: maybe ;) [18:14] th^2: try duckduckgo too :) [18:14] or i could use you as my search bot [18:14] travisHAZE: you are not shareing a ntfs mounted directory or anything weird are you? [18:14] Actually yes [18:14] Its from a windows aprtition [18:14] partition [18:14] win7 [18:14] noone that has any clue? [18:14] travisHAZE: permissions issues on the share then. are the most likely problem. [18:14] Gah [18:14] <``PeeR> travisHAZE: it half-helped [18:15] travisHAZE: the directory you are shareing has to have some proper permissions.. [18:15] Its in her home directory on the win partition [18:15] travisHAZE: a ntfs mounted fs - is a little.. complex. [18:15] Sawyer: what sharing method are you using to transmit the data? [18:15] Sawyer: is it wired or wireless? [18:15] So I should wait for a male-male usb cord and try then huh? [18:15] dont think that is relevant but it used to work just fine earlier [18:15] travisHAZE: id just use ssh and scp. [18:16] Sawyer: well it doesn't now, so we need details [18:16] !boot repair [18:16] ``PeeR, what didn't work? [18:16] im not even sure what a male-make usb cord would do in Ubuntu... :) [18:16] running 11.10, installed the latest updates a few ago and think right about then everything slowed down [18:16] the SSH server is the pc that i'm transferring the file from, correct dr_willis? [18:17] travisHAZE: it can go either way really. I always have ssh on both machines. [18:17] Sawyer: what are you sharing the files with and is it a wired or wireless connection [18:17] wired, and through samba [18:17] alright, well ty dr_w [18:17] Sawyer: thanks [18:17] travisHAZE: have you set the share options in win7 ? [18:17] travisHAZE: get ssh working on both ends.. use scp filename user@remote.box.ip:/path/to/put/the/file or similer.. [18:17] atm the key can be used to drag a window without using the title bar... the key used, used to be configurable, I can't find anywhere to change it with this new install... how do I change the key or turn it off all together? [18:17] So I've installed the p7zip module but when I try to open any of the archives excluding the first one (NAME.7z.001) I get the message 'Archive type not supported.'. [18:18] <``PeeR> travisHAZE: logitech do not crash anymore.. but it does not install or uninstall anything... [18:18] travisHAZE: or use sshfs then mount the remote end as a local directory. [18:18] i made my resume in libreoffice as a word (doc) document. It, for some reason, went corrupt. Can anyone see if they can help me and restore the file? [18:18] and I'm not talking about only the network throughput being slow, it's everything, the UI response and such also, both through NX and locally [18:18] Sawyer: ok, what socket options are you using? [18:18] hello, does ubuntu have plans to use a fully free linux kernel (without blobs) as Debian made the switch sometimes early this year? [18:18] Sawyer: oh, so its all network connectivity? [18:18] it's everything about the system being slow [18:19] Sawyer: is it ok as a new user? [18:19] no [18:19] local remote, whatever it's the same [18:20] Sawyer: ok if a new user with vanilla settings is ok, then its your old settings [18:21] Sawyer: did you upgrade from Natty to Oneiric? [18:21] ActionParsnip yes, couple weeks ago, but it was fine after that, this issue occured only just now [18:21] <_cb> ubuntu 11.10 only shows 800X600 and 1024X768 but my monitor is capable of other resolutions. How can I fix it? [18:21] I need help is their a permanent repo for libreoffice on ubuntu 10.04 [18:22] tbruff13: http://askubuntu.com/questions/16695/is-there-a-libreoffice-ppa#19794 === Rez is now known as LoRez [18:23] actionparsnip, thanks for the advice, i installed boot-repair and it fixed my problems :) === dan__ is now known as Guest85350 [18:23] _cb: what video chip? [18:23] Hi. I have a problem with Ubuntu Software Center. I keep getting error msg "failed to download packages" and check your net connection. I am of course online, sources.list are checked and should be OK and I have done apt-get update. Update manager works fine so what can I do?? [18:23] hello there === nicole is now known as Guest57790 [18:24] atengesdal: I've seen this, seems a weird hangup with network manager and software centre [18:24] hi nicole [18:24] Guest57790, change your nick with /nick Nickky [18:24] ActionParsnip any known fixes?? It just seemed to be messed up by itself :-( [18:24] atengesdal: are you fully updated [18:25] ActionParsnip yes, as far as I know [18:25] atengesdal: no idea but I know of the issue. I always use apt-fast [18:25] Guest57790, or register your nick with /NickServ help [18:25] ActionParsnip apt-fast? as in through terminal?? [18:25] atengesdal: yes, it uses axel to download packages faster [18:25] atm the key can be used to drag a window without using the title bar... the key used, used to be configurable, I can't find anywhere to change it with this new install... how do I change the key or turn it off all together? [18:26] Guest57790, /msg NickServ help [18:26] hi [18:26] hi [18:26] ih [18:26] guys, got a bit weirdo question [18:26] hi bukcy [18:26] ActionParsnip sorry but please confirm if this is an application or something? apt-get through terminal works fine but then I gotta known the name of the application :-( [18:26] I just got an external USB HDD tower [18:26] * Guest57790 nicole :D [18:26] so when i run top and I see nothing is really loading up the system, what explains it being slow? [18:27] and I would like to have my Ubuntu on it, while Windows stays on internal [18:27] also showing swap as 0k used [18:27] can i as where i can advertise my channel online , it is a good friendly channel, i thought i would ask first [18:27] fonix232: try to keep your questions and responses in single line please [18:27] ? [18:27] katesmith: don't advertise here === Mud is now known as Guest92201 [18:27] can something like this be caused by HD failing? [18:27] * Guest57790 nicole new for linux [18:27] is there a spot for it ? [18:28] katesmith, what kind of channel... irc ? freenode? [18:28] and I would like a way to boot from it with GRUB and selectable windows, but also, as I often carry it around, and I want my PC work without it, but I want this Ubuntu to boot anywhere else. Any idea? [18:28] oCean, sorry, I'll keep it in mind [18:28] katesmith: I have no idea. For support with the network, /join #freenode channel [18:28] fonix232: you can install to a extenal usb hard drive - be sure to tell grub to install to that drive. if you want it totally seperate from the windows install. [18:28] freenode a asperger channel [18:28] atengesdal: apt-fast is a 3rd party app, there is a PPA for it or you can manually download the script and shoveit in /usr/bin ;) [18:28] fonix232: thats how it would work :) i do the same thing with my external flash drives [18:28] atengesdal: the default apt-get is fine [18:28] katesmith: ask about freenode policy in #freenode - no advertising in this channel here. [18:29] dr_willis, so you say that it runs instead of the windows loader when the USB drive is connected, but it won't totally overwrite it? [18:29] fonix232: be sure grub installs to the external drive. [18:29] okay i wont do that [18:29] fonix232: it boots the grub on the flash. that grub has an entry for windows, or the linix install here. [18:29] i just wanted to know where online i can go and find a spot [18:29] ActionParsnip thanks for your help mate :-) I'll check around for apt-fast, hopefully they'll fix this USC issue [18:30] katesmith, post in all the asberger forums online [18:30] dr_willis, yes, I had it in mind, but wasn't sure if it would work on other PCs, as on my PC, GRUB always bugged me if I removed an internal drive, or it coulnd't find an entrys device [18:30] like if I had Win7 on hdd2, grub on hdd1 with ubuntu, and removed hdd2, GRUB never loaded [18:30] fonix232: you aer not installing grub to the internatl drive.. thats the whoe key. [18:30] katesmith: you can make a channel if you want, just join it and if it doesn't exist it will be made and you will be the OP [18:30] katesmith, with a simple how to on using irc from windows [18:31] dr_willis, yes, but it will still connect the other partitions to it, and such, it will error if it's connected to another PC [18:31] bucky: let's move on ok? IRC support is in #freenode, not here [18:31] surprised you get more help here with how to make a new channel than with the actual operating system [18:31] oCean, i fear intimacy [18:31] fonix232: the windows entry wont work when on a differnt pc. (or they might) the linux entrys will work === liquid is now known as Guest53715 === Guest53715 is now known as likid0 [18:32] dr_willis, yes I get that, my problem is, if such happens, for me atleast so far, GRUB didn't even load, but ran an emergency terminal [18:32] fonix232: IF you install the whole OS and grub to the external Drive.. it should work. [18:32] okay, I'm hoping in it [18:32] fonix232: i have 5+ flash drives set up that way [18:32] yo [18:33] <_robot__> I tried the disktest and ramtest both were fine, the cd is burned on the lowest speed possible. i tried with rEFIt and without and with usb, cd and both. still getting the error message : "unable to find a medium containing a live file system" [18:33] actually i got a real problem [18:33] my cd drive is not working... [18:33] its faulty, and i forgot my UBUNTU password. [18:33] is there any chance to log in? [18:33] !resetpassword [18:34] ? [18:34] how [18:34] Weedis1337: a live usb setup..

Or how to say to Tint2 how to hide specific icons ?

[18:46] webnet, nvidia geforce gt 520mx 1 GB [18:46] lnxslck, i make custom distros, so i add as many proprietary drivers to my distros as possible :D chances are ive come across it [18:46] I have a iso and dvd file. I don't want to use imgburn under wine.

[18:48] like what used to be a stable 10 MB throughput transfer via LAN, is now less than 1 MB [18:48] lnxslck, have you tried the ones happyface is using? [18:48] what can be overloading the system that doesn't show up in the procs [18:48] RadiumOxide, what is the dvd files format? .dvd? [18:48] webnet, which one? [18:49] lnxslck, did you use synaptic to open up you repos for proprietary drivers and installed the driver with synaptic? [18:49] lnxslck, the 11.10 NVIDIA drivers? [18:49] bucky, yes i did [18:49] webnet yes .dvd [18:49] hmm.... [18:49] RadiumOxide: right click the ISO and select open with Brasero [18:49] webnet, don't think so. where did he get those? [18:49] lnxslck: no but I hear if you fiddle with it it will work or so others have reported [18:50] lnxslck, um hang on let me get you the deb [18:50] robin0800, i think the problem migh tbe in xorg.conf [18:50] lnxslck, gimme a sec ill pm u the stuff you need === rymate1234 is now known as rymate1234|away [18:51] thanks [18:51] meanwhile i'm trying bumblee [18:53] webnet how do I use these .dvd files with braseo?

[18:59] bucky: I tried to that to check for accel. myself, and I get "extension 'GLX' missing on display :0" [19:00] Dang hes gone... i hate when people ask for help and then leave when people are in the middle of helping them... [19:00] anyone see my problem earlier? [19:00] ah, I'm definitely not using the NVIDIA driver then because nvidia-settings says so. My Additional drivers says it's activated and in use though, hmm [19:01] elz89, no apologies. whats up? [19:01] happyface, how did you did it? can you show me your xorg.conf?

[19:23] ActionParsnip: gorilla@gorilla-MacBookPro:~$ lsb_release -sc [19:23] oneiric [19:23] ActionParsnip, something is very broken [19:23] gorilla@gorilla-MacBookPro:~$ [19:23] ActionParsnip, it's not just a matter of not knowing how to move a window [19:23] abstrakt: if you press ALT+F2 does it bring up a run dialogue? [19:23] ALL window management is GONE [19:23] I installed rsync as a xinetd service, now when I run chkconfig, rsync appears both as an Init service and as a xinetd service. Is it supposed to be this way ? [19:23] there are no more title bars [19:23] no more close buttons [19:23] abstrakt: fine, we get it [19:23] ok [19:23] abstrakt: does ALT+F2 work [19:23] yes it does [19:23] ALT+F2 does bring up the run dialog [19:24] I still have my XFCE panels [19:24] but my workspace switcher is now only one workspace [19:24] abstrakt: then run: xfwm4 --replace [19:24] how to format flash drive? because its not shown on desktop [19:24] and I can't increase the number of workspaces, the arrows on the number spinner for "number of workspaces" is greyed out [19:24] hrm, ok ALT-F2 doesn't work I guess, it comes up but I can't type in to it, lemme just do it in terminal [19:25] lnxslck: paste2.org/p/1819268 [19:25] oh god [19:25] abstrakt: or press CTRL+ALT+T and run it in terminal# [19:25] lnxslck: oops, http://paste2.org/p/1819268 [19:25] xchat has stolen focus! [19:25] lol, how do I get out [19:25] abstrakt: alt+tab [19:25] happyface, what havfe you done to get that? [19:25] jwtiyar, do you have gparted installed [19:25] abstrakt: if the command works, you can add it to your startup items [19:25] ActionParsnip, alt-tab doesn't work either === pingsut is now known as pingsut_zzZZ [19:26] holy crap this is so bad, how the hell did this happen!? [19:26] abstrakt: obviously if you use compiz then run: compiz --replace [19:26] urlin2u, yes [19:26] jwtiyar, does the flash show there? [19:26] er... ok well that wasn't obvious to me, I don't think xfce has compiz [19:26] I did have compiz running in unity [19:26] lnxslck: I installed bumblebee from these instructions http://goo.gl/CC858 and have nvidia-current and nvidia-current-updates installed [19:26] but last night when I switched to xfce everything was just fine [19:27] <|Long|> hi guys, who here expert with vlm? i have 20 hard drives on 3 seperated storages boxs how can i do vlm for all into one big one? [19:27] urlin2u, i know this but before the flash was shown in desktop and i can do fromat directly from Desktop === Mud is now known as Guest4229 [19:27] ActionParsnip, hm the wrong information is all from forums fomr 2009 or so... my correct answer is from askubuntu 2011... also the ubuntuforum is updated allready... on page 5 or so :) [19:28] ActionParsnip, you still there? that worked, thanks [19:28] ActionParsnip, how did you know to do that? [19:29] jwtiyar, right before means what? [19:30] on 11.10, when running "Back Up/Connect to Ubuntu One" in window "Connect to Ubuntu One/Connect to Ubuntu One" it sayls "... This process will allow you to create a new account ..." -- How? [19:30] urlin2u, earlier version [19:30] jwtiyar, which would be? [19:30] how good is ubuntu on a tablet ui-wise and could you recommend a tablet? [19:30] urlin2u, ?? [19:31] !details | jwtiyar [19:31] jwtiyar: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [19:31] hever: the answer is it depends [19:32] Gorilla_No_Baka, on what? === root is now known as Guest93610 [19:32] on ubuntu [19:32] :) [19:32] abstrakt, I run xfce and compiz, I use compiz --replace ccp tho [19:32] jwtiyar, #3 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1765358 [19:32] ubuntu is great on computers and laptops.. on tables.. (shudder) [19:33] Guest93610: don't chat as root. [19:33] hever: to begin with it would come with the moronic unity [19:34] Gorilla_No_Baka, it seems perfect on a tablet ;) [19:34] mongy, why should anyone have to use either of those? [19:34] it just seems weird that that could even happen [19:34] esp on such a large distro [19:35] abstrakt, ? xfce doesnt use compiz, unity does because its a compiz plugin. [19:35] does anyone know a ppa for libbluray? [19:35] mongy, and I've been googling xfwm4 --replace, can you help me understand what it's doing and why it's doing it? [19:35] mongy, yeah I saw the unity plugin in the compiz config settings manager [19:35] is there a way to permanetly activate third button emulation on oneiric? I can set it with gpointing-device-settings, but I have to manually activate it there after every boot [19:35] mongy, I can't stand Unity [19:36] mongy, I'm actually quite in love with XFCE though... xfce is finally mature enough to pick up where GNOME2 left off [19:36] abstrakt, xfwm4 --replace is telling it to use xfwm as your window manager, same for compiz --replace. [19:36] xfce just gets so many little things right that gnome got wrong [19:36] mongy, " abstrakt, xfwm4 --replace is telling it" ... what is "it"? [19:36] xorg? [19:36] abstrakt, agreed. mine is a gnome2 clone.. more so than any gnome3 classic setup [19:37] happyface, thanks it worked [19:37] I installed rsync as a xinetd service, now when I run chkconfig, rsync appears both as an Init service and as a xinetd service. Is it supposed to be this way ? [19:37] yeah.. i had unity for like two days.. everytime i would howe the mouse to either minimize or close a window the stupid task bar would pop up and won't leave making it imposible to perform the action.. and that's because some great mind with nothing better to do than emulate osx has decided to switch the controls on th wrong side.. it does not matter that you can actually gconfig them the other way round.. this sim [19:37] !ot [19:37] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [19:37] Gorilla_No_Baka, yeah I had some really annoying stuff like that in Unity also [19:37] and so slow! omg! [19:37] holy nuts, Unity would just stall on me for at leas 10-20s at a time [19:38] this is a support channel not what you like or hate that you pay nothing for and give no supporet for. [19:38] my windows would eventually go grey to indicate "hey, my brain is fried right now, try later" and then eventually in a 20s it would unfreeze [19:38] but for real, 20s at a time?! [19:38] it doesn't happen in xfce [19:38] that's why i apt-geted my way installing back the synaptic (what idiot though to replace it with the useless software centre?) gdebi and deleted unity and installed gnome shell and set it on "fallback" [19:39] how to disable "Wired Network disconnected" notification? [19:39] hahah, yeah that was one of the first things I did too, install synaptic [19:39] abstrakt, you got emerald running or have you found some other way to get a nice window theme.

[20:42] Kamijou-Touma: http://linux.about.com/library/gnome/blgnome6n5.htm [20:43] Kamijou-Touma: I don't use terminal at all. [20:43] Ibyss, if your not going to use terminal at all.. why have linux? [20:43] plz this is my dmesg >> can any one help me to fix this error http://pastebin.com/gMGbHxuG [20:43] I mainly just copy and past stuff in the terminal when I use it which is rarly [20:44] Windows also has a terminal [20:44] So doies mac os [20:45] how do i check via terminal if my ubuntu is 32 or 64 bits? [20:45] yes but if you want to use a GUI then windows in my opinion is the most user friendly [20:45] Kamijou-Touma: You do realize Ubuntu aims for a different type of computer users right? Common desktop users. I use terminals when I need to do work on a remote server. [20:45] guerrilha, type uname -m [20:46] ROFL! I find Linux more userfriendly compared to Windows 7 and Vista. XP on the other hand is wonderful and less "distracting". [20:46] malucious10, its i686 [20:46] 32 would be i586? [20:46] Well with linux I have lots of choices on which GUI I want to use [20:46] guerrilha, okay, that's 32bit [20:47] Yes Guerila [20:47] Ibyss: i prefer 7 over xp [20:47] hm what would 64 bit be then [20:47] !windows [20:47] xp looks so dated [20:47] For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents [20:47] anyway [20:47] gnome looks like doodoo [20:47] guerrilha, x86_64 [20:47] and KDE looks like a childs drawing [20:48] What about LXDE and XFCE? [20:48] I still dont know why I have to click on start to shutdown my pc in windows lol [20:48] XFCE is great. [20:48] small and fast. [20:48] @ Ibyss [20:49] I was just wondering what SoulShadow was going to say about it. xD [20:49] Guys, Last try, does anyone know the name of the Packet of the Search bar on the file manager? [20:49] plz help me with this error on startup ubuntu oneiric http://pastebin.com/gMGbHxuG >> lines 888 to 892 [20:49] Ibyss: they're both lightweight stripped down DE's [20:49] Ibyss, i just feel like im gonna fuck somthing up easily with linux [20:49] :) [20:50] Kamijou-Touma: Please mind your language [20:50] what do you think of my new wallpaper -> http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Ubuntu+Halos?content=147501 [20:50] Kamijou-Touma: that's very possible. [20:50] :) [20:50] can anyone help me with an edubuntu issue [20:50] Well the other os will break no matter what you do [20:51] i like fluxbox. [20:51] Kamijou-Touma: Like what? Linux for desktop user experience has increased big time over the years. More GUIs, more alternative programs. I can not think of what I can not do on windows other than using IE browser and gaming. [20:51] you could play awesome games like "xscorch" [20:51] wow [20:52] Hey, when I try to install the ubuntu Precise daily iso, Ubiquity takes forever to continue from the "Prepare to install Ubuntu" screen when I click continue. dmesg only gives me a couple of lines about XFS Quota Managemen. Any other place to look for information on why it is taking so long? [20:52] I'll pay for whoever can fix this problem, setting a default monitor doesn't fix it, putting the browser window on different monitors doesn't fix it, no matter what, Quake Live always launches on the far left monitor. Three monitors, two on my GTX 570, one on my 8500 GT. Linux Mint. [20:52] !+1 | NightDog [20:52] Sorry about the bolding.

I was scared to push anything...

Alternatively, you can always ask in here before you do something. [20:55] Connor1: Why do I not believe you and also please mind your language [20:55] We don't bite.

In the past, I reformated and installed windows a few times because of virus issues. 2. No matter how many times I fix it, these knuckleheads always finds a way to screw up my windows System. So I thought "what the hey", and just installed Linux, knowing that "Anything can not get anymore worse no matter what I do". And besides, you can always throw windows back on here.

[21:39] I tried as root [21:39] abstrakt: sudo apt-get upgrade [21:39] abstrakt, i recommend aptitude over apt-get because it manages dependecies better [21:39] Tm_T, will upgrade move me to a new distro if there's a new release available? [21:39] mister, so I've been told [21:39] abstrakt: will not [21:40] mister, I hate the aptitude search interface though :( [21:40] the keys are so unintuitive, why couldn't they have at least standardized on something, vim keys, emacs keys... something [21:40] abstrakt, you can use the search option in command line... faster and better ;) [21:40] so I'm trying to set up a vpn between my Oneiric Laptop and my Windows 7 desktop. The connection works, but the remote desktop vieweronly returns a blank black screen. Anyone able to help me figure out what's going on? [21:40] Howcome I dont see the list of people in the room?

In ubuntu 11.10 windows always snap to the far left or far right but never come back in the same position I closed them in. I have tried using compiz 's CCSM window rule manager however that did not help at all. I would appreciate a answer as this is uncontrollably aggravating. [21:42] yeah. don't even try piping with guis :) [21:42] abstrakt, aptitude might have strange keys (can't they be changed) but the command line interface is totally worth it [21:42] guys [21:42] I have plugged in my USB hard drive to back up files [21:42] and when I try to use it [21:42] it says [21:43] mister, the searching in apt-cache leaves a lot to be desired as well I must say [21:43] "Unable to mount: not authroized" [21:43] How can I get access to this USB HD? [21:43] abstrakt, i am speaking about the aptitude search [21:43] mister, one thing that annoys the heck out of me is that regexes don't *actually* work in apt-cache [21:43] pulseaudio how to setup loopback 5.1 graphical monitor/peakmeter [21:43] mister, yes I know [21:43] abstrakt, you must not mix up the aptitude interface an the aptitude commands [21:43] mister, yes I know that too [21:43] Thanks dude. gdm did it. [21:44] shadaloo, mount it as root [21:44] abstrakt, ok [21:44] mister, my point is, do regexes actually work on aptitude command line? === Guest46601 is now known as evildaemon [21:44] guys, I am trying to apply some updates and it saying that I don't have enough space on my /boot partition.. how do I free some up? I remember sorting this out a while ago by deleting old kernel versions but I REALLY cant remember how I did that [21:44] abstrakt, i don't know regexes [21:44] mister, hmm, oh well, maybe I'll find out [21:44] how do i check my graphics driver, i don't see ati listed in synaptic? [21:44] anyone got any reminders or suggestions for me..? [21:44] is there a command for terminal? [21:44] ctrl+alt+t [21:44] The /boot folder should have some old kernel images in it, [21:45] ctrl+alt+t dusf [21:45] abstrakt, what is regex? [21:45] pulseaudio how to setup loopback 5.1 graphical monitor/peakmeter [21:45] in gnome anyway [21:45] mister, regular expressions [21:45] FermiAnyon: what is the command for that? [21:45] su [21:45] then the root password [21:45] what is command to mount? [21:45] mount [21:45] or you can say "sudo mount /dev/whatever /location" [21:45] To unmount is umount [21:46] FermiAnyon: that does nothing [21:46] ctrl+alt+t [21:46] dusf what wm are you using? [21:46] FermiAnyon, ah like some*thing when i don't know what between some and thing is? [21:46] xfce [21:46] ? [21:46] Anyway mister, what I meannt was a tty device. [21:46] mister, like that but much *much* more powerful [21:46] FermiAnyon, ok [21:46] where do I find the HD? [21:46] dusf, sorry. don't know xfce. you'll just have to find it in the menu somewhere. [21:47] like [21:47] shadaloo, "dmesg | grep -e hd -e sd" should give you a list of connected devices [21:47] evildaemon, hm, i think what you are lookg for is above my knowledge... sorry [21:47] FermiAnyon: thx [21:47] No, you did it. [21:47] I'm in xfce right now. [21:47] gtg [21:47] FermiAnyon: nps [21:48] pulseaudio how to setup loopback 5.1 graphical monitor/peakmeter [21:48] FermiAnyon: that is not returning anything [21:50] FermiAnyon: That did not return anything [21:50] evildaemon, "No, you did it." was that for me? did you get what you want? [21:50] mister: how do I show my hard drives [21:50] if I want to mount one [21:50] Yeah. [21:50] Thanks. [21:51] shadaloo, the best thing is to look what you got in /dev/ there are all your partitions listed [21:51] http://l337stuff.blogspot.com/p/irc.html [21:52] guys [21:52] is there an easy way to remove an encrypted filesystem [21:52] ./dev has like 200 things listed [21:53] shadaloo, do that in your command line 'ls /dev/sd*' [21:53] shadaloo, without the ' ' of course ;) [21:53] ok [21:53] I used fdisk -l [21:53] to find it [21:53] so now [21:53] I use [21:53] shadaloo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:54] sudo mount /dev/sdd1 /home/myUser/Desktop/USB [21:54] shadaloo, you can use fdisk too... but it need sudo rights... [21:54] right? [21:54] shadaloo, correct [21:54] ok [21:54] here we go [21:54] shadaloo, but ther are tools that will do the mounting for you automatically if it is a pendrive [21:55] Benkinooby, roggen [21:55] mister: [21:55] what tools? [21:55] mister, weizen [21:55] I just want t be able to back up my files [21:55] what apt should I get to install x11vnc on ubuntu-server? apt-get install x11vnc? [21:55] For backups, I'd use something like tar. [21:55] shadaloo, hm.... i was in your situation a looooooooong time ago... sorry i can not remeber the name... google for it a bit and you will find as i did [21:56] shadaloo, but if you need the mount only one time then forget about the tools [21:56] aikInsaan|home: open the package manager, search for vnc, you'll see options (different versions) pick the one you like and install it [21:56] mister: do you have any idea what the name is [21:56] mister: yes just one time [21:56] shadaloo, ok, so you want to backup files from a partition [21:56] k [21:56] shadaloo, did you allready mount the partition? [21:57] shadaloo, with the command you said... sudo mount /dev/sdd1 /home/myUser/Desktop/USB [21:57] Whats the system you install to manage network connections? [21:57] I need it so I can get off the carpet. [21:57] evildaemon, you can either go for the NetworkManager or you go for wicd [21:58] evildaemon, wicd is more independent and has a command line interface too for emergencies [21:58] I think I'll opt for wicd. [21:58] evildaemon, one thing [21:58] mister: fermiAnyone: thank you [21:58] it worked [21:58] mister: thanks very much [21:58] Go on... [21:58] evildaemon, you can install xubunutu-desktop [21:58] I already installed XFCE. [21:58] evildaemon, that will install a full xfce environment [21:58] Xubuntu desktop is sort of fat in comparison. [21:59] evildaemon, with the default network manager... so you don't have to get the software you need piece by piece [21:59] XFCE standalone looks closer to the 90's than Ipad. [21:59] shadaloo, so your problem is solved? [21:59] how can i check my ati driver version please? [21:59] i can't find anything ati in synaptic [21:59] evildaemon, if you want something fast go for fluxbox ;) [21:59] evildaemon, that is what i use [22:00] evildaemon, in combination with wicd, kupfer and thunar [22:00] evildaemon, super fast [22:00] Or lxde [22:00] pulseaudio how to setup loopback 5.1 graphical monitor/peakmeter [22:00] evildaemon, my ressources: kde > gnome > xfce > lxde > *box & other window managers > command line [22:01] i have problem [22:01] evildaemon, my -> by [22:01] anyone to help?

[22:02] but i think i made some mistake [22:02] how can i check my ati driver version please? [22:02] branko89, please ask in one line [22:03] abstrakt, ;) [22:03] it's quite possible I have my fundamtentals wrong, mister [22:03] mister, but that joke just shows the ignorance of the person telling it [22:03] I don't have any background knowledge on networking [22:03] mister, regex are wonderful... learn them... then use, rejoice, rinse, repeat [22:03] abstrakt, amen ... ommmmmmmmmm [22:04] Regex is a whole language :'( [22:04] ok,i try to install java but i made some mistake [22:04] CHABI, do you want to control the other computer remotely?

[22:04] branko89, how did you do it... you have to give more info if you wnat help... we can not read minds [22:04] i was using wicd but now i want to use the ubuntu defualt [22:04] yeah, that's what I'm going for, Mister. [22:05] CHABI, ok, first of, vpn is "virual private network" it is for establishing secure network connections, not more not less... it got not too much to do with remote control [22:05] pulseaudio how to setup loopback 5.1 graphical monitor/peakmeter [22:06] CHABI, except if you might want to secure your remote communication [22:06] I do this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjmF_eqLY7A [22:06] CHABI, what you want now is a software the manages the remote control [22:06] same [22:06] is vinigre not adequate for that? [22:06] CHABI, so what you want is program called vnc on your windows computer and vnc on your linux compter [22:07] and now i cant download appl on ubuntu sc [22:07] CHABI, is responsible for sending the screen of the windows computer to your linux computer and seding the keyboard input from linux to windows [22:07] CHABI, i don't konw vinigre [22:08] CHABI, vnc is the best know program in that area [22:08] mister, makes sense sofar. Vinigre is Oneiric's built in remote desktop viewer [22:08] anyone know how to start gnome network manager from terminal? [22:08] CHABI, i am not sure if the linux desktop viewer will work with windows [22:08] sent17inel try nm-applet [22:09] thanks monkey [22:09] sent17inel, nm-applet or something like that [22:09] sent17inel: nm-applet & [22:09] oh, too slow sent17inel [22:09] With the ampersand.

[22:52] flashplugin-nonfree [22:53] apwbdjp: no, the cpu is not too high.. I don't think so...

I am having some major issues with Ubuntu 11.10. I keep getting logged out when browsing the web, whether it is on Firefox or Chrome.... any suggestions? [22:54] Can anyone tell me how I can get rid of the sidebar thing on ubntu 11.00? [22:54] silentnights, as I said, the fan is (usually, on all hardware that I dealt with) controlled by the bios, not by the os [22:54] apwbdjp: I don't know how to debug the issue, if you can suggest anything it would be great, btw my fan goes faster when the temperature goes higher like 85 or something [22:54] ali: did you add the restricted packages to your list? [22:54] pion- Anglais ici, si tu veux parler francais: #ubuntu-fr [22:54] I created a link to a directory in my /home directory.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. [22:54] ali: its not in the default list [22:55] pulseaudio how to setup loopback 5.1 graphical monitor/peakmeter [22:55] silentnights, did you try burning the cpu until it shuts down? See at which temperature is dies? (make sure you've got enough security on your cpu before doing this) [22:55] dunno what you mean:S i just installed ubuntu on the usb and trying to start add packages [22:55] keithclark, is it a symbolic link or a hard link? [22:55] that the first [22:55] Talish, you have to install a special plugin for compiz manager. [22:56] silentnights, NO DONT DO THAT. DONT OVER HEAT YOUR CPU! [22:56] sluggz how do I even use compiz? and where can i get this plugin? [22:56] brightspark, I created it in nautilus via 'make link' [22:56] apwbdjp: no, I did not try to, but my laptop hangs sometimes when it goes overheat. [22:56] silentnights, what is your problem exactly ? [22:56] ali: ok, go to your package manager and check the rest of the repos. Its in one of those. [22:57] apwbdjp, it's not a good idea to tell someone to over heat an electronic device just for future reference. [22:57] you mean maybe update manager? [22:57] ali: I haven't used gnome in forever, so I don't know what package maanger it uses anymore [22:57] MahaVishnu, I don't know, it's getting pretty hard to fry a cpu these days.. [22:57] brightspark, I assume that would be a symbolic link? [22:57] MahaVishnu: my temperature is always high, the minimum when I just start my laptop is 55, and usually when It's idle in 60... And the temperature goes over 90c many times :s [22:57] silentnights: which CPU? [22:58] can i change the theme? [22:58] ali: you are trying to get flash correct? I believe its included in chrome automatically. [22:58] MahaVishnu, but still, I admit it's not very safe either. [22:58] silentnights, have you tried using an air duster and spraying it n the vents? is your fan running, are you using this laptop on a completely flat surface ? [22:58] atm the key can be used to drag a window without using the title bar... the key used, could be configured in previous versions , I can't find anywhere to change it with this new install... With ccsm I completly disabled the 'Move Window' plugin... but the can still move the window... how do I change the key or turn it off all together? [22:58] keithclark, I'm not sure; currently trying to figure it out. I typically use the terminal to do file manipulation. [22:58] Why isn't ubuntu 11.10 remembering the passwords to any of my wireless access points? Every time I connect to one I have to type the password in [22:58] incorrect: yes, install gnome-tweak-tool [22:58] Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2410M CPU @ 2.30GHz [22:58] you are kidding right? [22:58] silentnights: give me a moment [22:59] keithclark, you are correct. You could see if you get the same behaviour from a hard link. [22:59] incorrect: no, gnome removed the appearance settings (you could just use gsettings from the command line but gnome-tweak-tool is easier) [22:59] but i wanna firefox:S [22:59] trism, unbelievable! [22:59] MahaVishnu: my laptop is new, so no dust yet... and yes it's on flat surface [22:59] ali: yeah, its there. Adobe Flash plugin [22:59] BarkingFish: take your time, am here :) [22:59] silentnights: you need to have your laptop checked over. 90c is the upper thermal shutdown limit on an i5-2410m [23:00] I suspect that's a fault [23:00] silentnights, how new ? 50c-60c on a laptop is ok. but 90c is not. how often is it 90c ? [23:00] keithclark, use the command "ln" in the terminal to make a hardlink (it will do symbolic links iff you use the "--symbolic" flag). [23:00] silentnights, some BIOS's do show temperature, in the setup settings, did you check that? [23:00] brightspark, yes, researching now [23:00] ali: if you enable those other package locations and search for flash, you will see it. [23:00] apwbdjp, that temp will be under like 0% load though. [23:00] silentnights, if temperature doesn't get high, there, then it's either cpu usage goes too hard for some reason, or sensors is screwing with you [23:01] BarkingFish: I tried to install Backtrack just to check if the temperature isthe same and I found thetemperature is much lower, in 40s c [23:01] dont understand you:S i=m realy new to ubuntu [23:01] ali: unfortunately, I gotta go. Hopefully you figure it out! If not, I am sure someone else can help [23:01] MahaVishnu, sure, but he said the temp is high even on idle, so it'll give a slight idea [23:01] k ty [23:01] silentnights: that is very odd then. [23:01] MahaVishny: new as it is 2 months old [23:01] silentnights, so it never goes to 90c in a different linux ? [23:01] ali: umm, yeah, its under "settings" in whatever your package manager is [23:02] What version of Ubuntu are you using on your machine, silentnights? [23:02] ali: should be a bunch of check boxes under sources or something like that. [23:02] ali: look around [23:02] MahaVishnu: It goes over 90 if for example am opening many tabs on FireFox [23:02] i've somehow lost indicator [23:02] how can i get that back? [23:02] brightspark, hmm, 'hard link not allowed' [23:03] MahaVishnu: only saw got that high on Ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10 but I haven't tried many distros [23:03] silentnights, that is very curious, my girlfriend had a laptop that was getting to 90c it actually turned out to be a faulty h/d was some how affecting the whole system ( when I changed the hd it fixed the temps ) not that this is your problem but it's possible alot of laptop hd/s do go bad. [23:03] silentnights: that is definitely abnormal for a brand new machine. My laptop barely passes 65c, and it's about 6 years old. I only have a Celeron M 1.6Ghz in it. [23:03] BarkingFish: Ubuntu 11.10 now [23:04] keithclark, you are trying to link to a file on another partition. I'm not sure how to make that work. Here is a thought- are you certain the partition is mounted in /media when you try to access it remotely? [23:04] A new machine, with a relatively new processor in it certainly shouldn't be activating UTEL with just a few progs and tabs running. [23:04] Hey all, ubuntu 11.10 keeps logging me out seemingly randomly while I am on the web... any suggestions? [23:04] *sorry - damn my shortcuts... [23:04] incorrect: indicator-applet is no longer in the repos, wasn't ported in time, but there is a ppa: https://launchpad.net/~jconti/+archive/gnome3 , and the branch should be merged soon [23:05] The thing I notice is that the fan can go much faster, for example now the temp is 66 and I barely hear it running, while when itgoes for example 85 or 90, I start hear it running. [23:05] that's better. UTEL should have read upper thermal emergency limit. [23:05] so the thing is I need the fan to run at that high speed earlier [23:05] brightspark, yes, mounted fine [23:05] I had my shorthand plugin on [23:05] :) [23:06] trism, i am a bit confused, i something as i installed xubuntu thinking there was no way to get a gnome 2 type interface [23:06] silentnights, how fast is your fan spinning, you can do 'sensors' in a terminal [23:06] MahaVishnu: no it doesn't show it's speed with sensors: here is output http://paste.ubuntu.com/767382/ [23:06] incorrect: xfce has an indicator applet that should be installed by default, maybe you just need to add it to the panel [23:07] silentnights, that's not controlled by the OS, generally, the fanspeed is a BIOS matter.. and I still have the feeling that sensors is lying to you [23:07] keithclark, Is your FTP set up to allow access to places other than the home directory? It may be a security feature preventing you from accessing files you are not permitted to. [23:07] incorrect: sorry I thought you were still using gnome 3 fallback [23:07] Has anyone managed to get http://www.channel4.com/programmes/4od Channel 4 on demand to work on Ubuntu / Linux? [23:07] apwbjp: but the laptop goes so slow when the heat goes up so it seems not to be lying [23:08] !notunity | incorrect [23:08] incorrect: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [23:08] silentnights, you say that it does show you over 90° and the machine keeps running. Wouldn't an i5 go into security shut down, at this temp? [23:08] silentnights, I hate to say it, but did you check these temps in windows also just to be double sure, can you feel a hotspot near the fan ? === BaNz is now known as Alex`aw [23:08] brightspark, ahh, this might be, not sure [23:09] Has anyone else experienced issues with 11.10 logging out randomly? [23:09] robin0800, i got that far, i just trying to get back to something closer to gnome2 desktop this time last year [23:09] Can anyone tell me how to get rid of the sidebar in 11.10? [23:09] slugzzz, no. Works fine for me. [23:09] MahaVishnu: No I don't have windows installed, and yes it seems hot around the fan. [23:09] Talish, go back to gnome-classic like me [23:10] silentnights, like I said before, I have encountered a failing HD that will cause system heat in a laptop (somehow idk how) have you checked the s.m.a.r.t status of the h/d ? [23:10] keithclark, can you access ".." ie the directory level up in FTP? [23:10] MahaVishnu: no I haven't, how can I do so? [23:10] silentnights, is it an HP laptop lol. [23:10] slugzzz, I did have that. For me it was X segfaulting (Ubuntu Netbook, two years ago), I reinstall the system from nothing, and it's working fine. I'm sure this is of no help, but still, just to answer your question. [23:10] MahaVishnu: No, It's a lenovo G570 :) [23:10] thanks [23:10] its work now [23:11] incorrect: well I think gnome classic is very configurable and can even run compiz [23:11] silentnights, ahh good hp is crap. anyway in a terminal type sudo palimpsest you might have to do sudo apt-get install palimpsest [23:11] Has anybody successfully used the open source ATI drivers with a laptop and used HDMI out with no issues? [23:12] apwbdjp, I've heard of that issue.... I don't think it is that, though... I had no problems until the most recent batch of software updates. [23:12] silentnights, select a drive in the left pane of that program, and then in the top right you see a button for like check smart status. [23:12] ok my next question, can i get compiz running with gnome classic? [23:12] It's really driving me absolutely mad. [23:12] incorrect, of course. [23:12] slugzzz, do i need to install anything? [23:12] Someone can help-me with my 1366x768 macbookair display. 4.1, 11 inch [23:12] MahaVishnu: It says disk is healthy [23:12] the resolution doesnt work [23:13] incorrect, you should install the compiz manager tool from the software center. [23:13] incorrect how do i do that? [23:13] silentnights, how about it's temperature? (clic the SMART Status to have a full report) [23:13] incorrect: yes see webupd8 article [23:13] brightspark, no, I cannot [23:13] silentnights. silentnights hit view smart data then run self test just to be double sure. [23:13] what's the command to find out the kernel & os version etc that you are currenly using on bash [23:14] MahaVishnu: It's temp is 40 and I started the selftest [23:14] Is anyone here running ubuntu on an Alienware m15x? [23:14] ubottu, you are my hero [23:14] poz: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:14] silentnights, you said this is 2 months old. when did the problem start? and the failing drive I had also had a normal temperature. but it did fail the selftest. [23:14] what's the command to find out the kernel & os version etc that you are currenly using on bash [23:15] MahaVishnu!! [23:15] keithclark, look up "ftpchroot". It sounds like the tool you need. [23:15] Who can help me 1 on 1 to make ubuntu 11.04 look like 10????????/ [23:15] where is the x11vnc binary kept? [23:16] slugzzz: that won't get compiz to run it needs a hack [23:16] Talish, 11.04 looks like 11.1 already [23:16] I get 'couldn't find package x11vnc' when I do go 'apt-get install x11vnc' [23:16] what is the difference? [23:16] aikInsaan|home: uname -a [23:17] poz: i ment 10 [23:17] aikInsaan|home: lsb_release -a [23:17] oh i see [23:17] @poz I want to get rid of the sidebar [23:17] MahaVishnu: The self test went fine, I first installed ubuntu 11.04 on it, and I noticed it hangs from time to time, I never suspected the temperature thing, and later I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10 and then i noticed sometimes it goes slow when I open many tabs onfirefox with many youtube for example... so I started to investigate the temperature, and I found out it's temp is always high. [23:17] sorry, i thought you ment change the .04 into a .1 [23:17] you dont like the side bar? [23:17] !notunity | Talish [23:17] Talish: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [23:17] Nah I prefer the old ubuntu [23:17] aikInsaan|home: you need to either get a ppa or enable whatever repo x11vnc is in [23:18] so why not install the old ubuntu? [23:18] sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback [23:18] Talish, Xfce [23:18] Gnome 3, but classic [23:18] aeon-ltd: ppa? [23:18] whats xfce? [23:18] can anyone point me to a guide for setting up wireless connections using wpa2 personal without using network manager and preferably with bonding support... i've got the bonding set up but I have no idea how to use the new /etc/network/interfaces file with wpa2 or wireless [23:18] !ppa | aikInsaan|home [23:18] aikInsaan|home: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa [23:19] silentnights sorry I lagged out for awhile. when did your problem start with this laptop ? [23:19] xface is another desktop [23:19] xfce rather [23:19] aeon-ltd: thanks! [23:19] compiz doesn't seem to start with gnome-classic [23:19] http://www.xubuntu.org/ [23:19] Has anybody successfully used the open source ATI drivers with a laptop and used HDMI out with no issues? [23:19] mahavishnu, were you the guy who helped me yesterday? [23:19] poz, yea man ;-) [23:19] incorrect: see webupd8 article [23:20] brightspark, could it be because I've not modified my fstab for this drive? [23:20] can you tell me about the blacklist, like what it does? or are you busy helping someone right now? [23:20] robin0800, maybe i missed something [23:20] MahaVishnu: I think ever since i purchased it, but I did not notice till later. I had Ubuntu 11.04 installed and noticed it hangs from time to time, And I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10 and noticed it slows down, so I started to suspect the temperature, and I set the sensors and noticed temp is high [23:20] poz, it's a list of 'kernel modules' that the kernel is told to 'blacklist' or 'ignore' on bootup so they are not loaded on the system. [23:20] incorrect: it needs a hack see the article [23:21] keithclark, If stuff is mounting correctly I doubt it, I think FTP's security is simply denying you access to anything outside of your home directory. [23:21] brightspark, I believe that there is a settings file for that, no? [23:21] silentnights, since it is 2 months old, contact lenovo since it's under warranty it sounds like it might be somehow defective since it is too new to be clogged with dust. and you can feel the heat on the bottom like I could with my gf's laptop. I would imagine that some piece of hardware is faulty since an i5 should take alot to get to those temps you are showing. [23:22] keithclark, I think you need to enable access to /media by using ftpchroot or similar. [23:22] !wifi [23:22] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [23:22] Eclipse process doesn't stop even after exiting from Eclipse [23:22] any idea [23:22] keithclark, http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ftpchroot&sektion=5 [23:22] ? [23:23] may i have little help please?:) im trying to install flash and adding langauge and cant both:S [23:23] oh ok, well thank you again for your help yesterday. mashavishnu [23:23] I'm on 10.10 and my wireless driver now refuses to work after updating to the latest kernel from the official repos. It's a broadcom chipset [23:23] so what does the "tpm_tis" kernal do? [23:23] poz, were you just curious are you having some problem still ? [23:23] MahaVishnu: but isn't it weird that it's not same hight temperature with backtrack?? [23:23] !broadcom | cheshire_fox [23:23] cheshire_fox: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [23:23] curious as to what it does [23:23] ali: make sure multiverse is enabled and install flashplugin-installer (or enable partner and install adobe-flashplugin) [23:23] i guess i can google it [23:24] :S [23:24] Has anybody successfully used the open source ATI drivers with a laptop and used HDMI out with no issues? [23:24] silentnights, yea I guess. but there is no reason if you are not running anything on ubuntu that it should get hot either. 40-60c I have seen on laptops normally. [23:25] i agree [23:25] MahaVishnu: I guess I will try install other distro and check as well, and at last I will install Windows and see. [23:26] silentnights, are you using the cpufreq adjuster applet at all? [23:26] MahaVishnu: yes am setting it on demand, if not using it, it even normally goes higher faster [23:26] silentnights, and you installed 64bit ubuntu right? [23:26] yes [23:26] wtf -_- === coil is now known as C0il [23:27] MahaVishnu: what's wrong? :D [23:27] silentnights, hrm. im almost at a loss here then, idk why it's cooler on backtrack it really shouldn't be. [23:28] apwbdjp: lspci didn't give me anything [23:28] I was half hoping you installed 32bit and thats why it was getting hot heh. [23:28] wait, tried it again and now it did [23:28] wtf [23:28] is there a way to make the command "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" execute at startup? i need it to launch up the wifi drivers, and it is really annoying having to type it every time. [23:28] MahaVishnu: I can install backtrack again and see how is it goin, and I will try Fedora as well just to double check the problem there [23:29] silentnights, if you would like.. im still leaning towards faulty hardware some how. [23:29] fizyplankton: add ndiswrapper to /etc/modules [23:30] silentnights, what do you have in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq [23:31] MahaVishnu, I agree, brand new i5 should NOT reach 90° this easily. [23:31] trism: and is there anyway to make ndiswrapper modprobe-able without root? my wifi drivers occasionally crap out on my, so i cant SSH in, so i was thinking aboiut setting up a script to "sudo modprobe -r ndiswrapper; sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" every day at like 3 am or so just to refresh the drivers [23:31] MahaVishnu: nothing [23:32] installing ubuntu, has network error [23:32] on my laptop with integrated wireless [23:32] silentnights, call lenovo, get it looked @ COULD be a bug with that specific model, can you paste the model again? like me and apwbdjp it *really* should not get that hot only time I ever got my i3 that hot I had accidently unplugged the fan cleaning it out. [23:32] Network autoconfig failed, your network probably not using DHCP protocol [23:32] does this mean i probably wont get wireless internet with my laptop? [23:32] anyone else know why I cannot access a symbolic linked directory via ftp? I can when on the physical machine. [23:33] keithclark, cause symbolic links don't work in ftp. [23:33] MahaVishnu, ok, how to make it work then? [23:33] Network autoconfig failed, your network probably not using DHCP protocol [23:34] MahaVishnu: it's lenovo G570, here is link on lenovo http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/us/en/DriversDownloads/drivers_list.aspx?CategoryID=130485 [23:34] keithclark, the link cannot extend to where the ftp user does not have access to go. do you know what I mean ? [23:34] yamahaalex37: try turning off DHCP in ubuntu;s wireless options, and make sure you router IS using DHCP. more than one thing administering DHCP results in network errors [23:34] keithclark: often ftp server will chroot to something, and if the symlink links out of it, no access [23:34] aa [23:34] MahaVishnu, yes, how to grant permission? [23:34] keithclark: or the server doesn't follow links. apache is that way by default I think. [23:34] Mahavishnu, apwbdjp: Thank you both.. I will do more testing with other distros and see what I get [23:34] keithclark, make the ftp user owner of that folder? im not really sure sorry. [23:34] Hey all... so Ubuntu seems to keep logging out on me randomly... but especially when I full-screen a youtube video... any ideas? [23:35] I have *NEVER* used ftp lol. [23:35] fizyplankton, i believe my router is dhcp [23:35] if I check the 'Source code' option in the package manager, should I be able to see source packages for every single package or is it just select ones? I am looking for the source package for libstdc++ [23:35] silentnights, if on all the distros you'll be testing temp with sensors, then think of trying Windows too [23:35] i see dhcp address and mac addresses in 192.168.0.1 [23:35] MahaVishnu: btw o you know what does /etc/sensors.d/sensors.conf then if it doesn't control fan? [23:35] MahaVishnu, I need to access some files on a mounted drive on a remote computer. How else to access them? [23:36] silentnights, have you done all the bios updates for that machine? they might require windows anyway. [23:36] silentnights, it's probably faulty hardware, but it's still worth checking before shipping it back [23:36] silentnights, that controls your sensors command [23:36] oh, how about a nice off-topic chat? [23:36] inertial: with the source enabled, you just need to use: apt-get source package_name; and you can download the source into the current directory [23:37] yamahaalex37: right click on the wireless icon, chick edit connections, wireless, select the one your using, click edit, then click ipv4 settings, try automatic(DHCP), then go to ipv6 and make sure its disabled. if that wont work, try all the different ipv4 things under method [23:37] silentnights, my fans show up in my sensors command. Im on a desktop though.... fan2: 2547 RPM (min = 0 RPM) [23:37] does anyone know how i can preview a animated wallpaper in gnome 3? [23:37] MahaVishnu: No, haven't done the update. will try it once I install windows for testing [23:37] keithclark, mount the drive inside a folder, somewhere the user has access to? [23:37] trism: thanks I'll try that [23:37] fizyplankton, thanks. its not installed yet. but i will when it is [23:37] silentnights, thats what i'd do. if windows runs hot. or if the bios updates don't fix it. id call lenovo period ;-) [23:37] yamahaalex37: what isnt? [23:37] ubuntu [23:37] this was on install autoconfig [23:37] apwbdjp, not sure how to do that exactly [23:38] MahaVishnu: do you know why my fan speed doesn't show it's speed with sensors command? [23:38] silentnights, always possible its an ubuntu bug just doesn't seem like it. [23:38] yamahaalex37: just cutious, what ubuntu are you installing? [23:38] 11.10 i believe [23:38] silentnights, no, try doing sudo sensors-detect and follow the onscreen instructions. [23:38] <_cb> clear [23:39] <_cb> Is there a way to put a folder on the application bar on the left on Unity? [23:39] keithclark, you check out mount to see the decide name and where it's mounted, then you unmount it, mkdir a new mount location into your home, and mount /dev/device new_location, (not very clear, I admit..) [23:39] yamahaalex37: ok. im using 10.04 LTS, so i dont know that much about oneiric. i only use lucid. never used maverick, tried natty once, hated it, and never used oneiric [23:39] MahaVishnu: I did sudo sensors-detect and followed the instruction from ubuntu, I saw some people use fancontrol to control their fan speed, I just don't know how to... lol [23:39] Alrighty, I installed the STA driver for my chipset using that fairly simple how to, but now the gnome network applet says that the 'device is not ready (firmware missing)' I presume I can't use the STA drivers then? [23:39] _cb: you can create a .desktop file that runs: nautilus /path/to/folder [23:39] _cb: then drag and drop that to the launcher [23:40] fans are often controlled by I2C.. the lm-sensors.org page has more info [23:40] wtf [23:40] silentnights, being a laptop, it might only have a coretemp-isa-* sensor chip not a. it87* type sensors ( the one that show fan speed ) [23:40] i am on install: Partition Disks [23:40] apwbdjp, yeah did not follow you at all. [23:40] sda, b, or d? [23:40] MahaVishnu: yes right it only has coretemp-isa-0000 [23:41] yamahaalex37: if your still configing the install, dont worry about the wireless not working. thats like being upset that your child cant read or write when your wife is only 3 months pregnant [23:41] ok fizyplankton [23:41] how do i know which disk is which [23:41] resize SCSI 1, 2, or 6 [23:41] all say (0,0,0) [23:41] yamahaalex37: how many physical harddrives are in your machine? [23:41] trism: is there some extra step to automatically unpack the package and apply any ubuntu specific patches to it? [23:42] <_cb> trism will give that a try. Thanks ! [23:42] fizyplankton: I'm the one worrying about her wireless not working :P [23:42] cheshire_fox: not trying to be rude, but who are you? [23:42] yamahaalex37: sda = drive 1. sdb = drive 2, sda1 = partion1 on drive 1. sda2 = partition2 on drive 1. [23:42] silentnights, you can't run fancontrol with no it87 from what i'm reading ... no way to control the fan. [23:42] fizyplankton, 2 [23:42] what does this mean Makefile:415: *** mixed implicit and normal rules. Stop. oe_runmake faiiiiled [23:42] i did manual, found the free space, and said auto partition [23:42] inertial: that should happen automatically for most packages [23:42] it made 2 partitions, one was swap [23:43] can anyone point me to a guide for setting up wireless connections using wpa2 personal without using network manager and preferably with bonding support... i've got the bonding set up but I have no idea how to use the new /etc/network/interfaces file with wpa2 or wireless [23:43] yamahaalex37: it should do that [23:43] Mahavishnu: Ok, thanks a lot. at least now I don't have to keep looking... That was about to drive me nuts :) [23:43] trism: it decided to download gcc instead of libstdc++, and it seems there are some ubuntu specific patches to be applied.. well if you don't know, don't worry, I'll figure it out.. [23:43] yamahaalex37: the swap partition is like an extension of your RAM, should the computer ever need it [23:43] silentnights, when you get to windows install 'speedfan' it will show you all your sensors info. [23:43] is swap like pagefile [23:43] yamahaalex37: yes exactly [23:43] <[deXter]> Hi all, I'm unable to browse SMB shares on my network using Nautilus.. however, smbclient seems to work just fine. The error message in Nautilus is "Unable to mount location - failed to retrieve share list from server". Any ideas how to fix it? Thanks. [23:43] is 6gb ext and 7gb swap enough for ubuntu? [23:44] whois idk123 [23:44] silentnights, maybe your fans will show / maybe not. but like I said a few times if it is hot in windows too and the bios updates don't fix it being hot atleast in windows then it *could* be an ubuntu bug but likely hard ware call lenovo make them fix it! [23:44] inertial: if you just: apt-get source gcc; you won't get the right package [23:44] yamahaalex37: 6bg is rather small for the install, but not unbearable, and how much ram do you have? [23:45] inertial: you will want, for instance: apt-get source gcc-4.6 [23:45] [deXter]: are you on a domain? if not are the shares everybody full control in their sharing controls? [23:45] hi!i have a small problem with ubuntu 9.10, when i want to install chrome, i have something like that: Error: libasound2 (>>1.0.22) [23:45] wtf!! [23:45] AN installation step failed, the failing step is: select and isntall software [23:45] <[deXter]> nevyn: Nope I'm not on a domain, this is a home network.. I'm able to browse the shares from windows machines just fine [23:45] MahaVishnu: ok thanks. I will try windows ASAP and see. It's annoying I can't fully use it cause of a heat issue, hope to see you tomorrow to tell u the results, Thanks again :) [23:45] Can anyone Help with this problem: what does this mean Makefile:415: *** mixed implicit and normal rules. Stop. oe_runmake failed :: linux-libc-headers?? [23:46] yamahaalex37: also, is it ext or is it ext3/4? [23:46] nite nite Ubuntu :-) [23:46] 4 i think [23:46] kn_: sudo apt-get install libasound2 [23:46] but install failed [23:46] [deXter]: is workgroup set the same in samba as on the windows systems? [23:46] coudl this have to do with SSD, AHCI mode [23:46] yamahaalex37: hrm. try redoing it. also, are you trying to dualboot it? or can ubuntu use all the disk space it wantss? [23:46] <[deXter]> nevyn: yes, it's "WORKGROUP".. like is said, smbclient works just fine, it's just Nautilus that's causing the issue.. [23:47] dual boot [23:47] coudl this have to do with SSD, AHCI mode [23:47] yamahaalex37: ok. dual boots arent that hard to install (i have quad boot), but they certainly do make it somewhat more trickey. not hard, just one more complication [23:48] what does this mean Makefile:415: *** mixed implicit and normal rules. Stop. oe_runmake faiiiiled [23:48] yamahaalex37: it might. if you have a plain harddrive, i would try than, then if that works, try the SSD [23:48] fizyplankton, it was ext4, is that correct [23:48] yamahaalex37: ok good. you had me concerned for a minute [23:48] Ibyss: failed, libasound2 have the newest ver. [23:49] im trying to resize swap to 2 [23:49] and ext4 to 10 [23:49] yamahaalex37: how much ram do you have? [23:49] 8 [23:49] 8gb [23:49] yamahaalex37: then ideally, swap should be 16 gb. how big are your drives? [23:50] I doubt you need 16gb swap though ;-P [23:50] my ssd is 70 [23:50] with 14 free for this [23:50] yamahaalex37: then 10 and 2 should be good. not ideal, but good [23:51] MahaVishnu: its reccommended to ahve 2x the ram for swap. although i butchered my install and i have 4 gigs ram, and closer to 22 gigs of swap. dont ask how. i dont like to talk about it [23:51] Hello HELP! package linux-libc-headers-2.6.20-r7: task do_configure: failed [23:51] Ibiss are you there? [23:52] <_cb> the partiton that holds most of my data is mounted to /media with a very long name. To rename it, do I just rename the folder in media? [23:52] i thought i didnt need swap... [23:52] _cb: give the partition a label, and ubuntu will use than rather thanthe serial number for the ,mount poiunt [23:52] yamahaalex37, It's always safer to have swap, I believe [23:52] hello, my laptop won't actually turn off after I do sudo halt or press the shutdown button in the menu. It will start the process to shut down, but after "will now halt" and "[57.577933] System Halted it just never actually turn off. Any idea what might be going on? :-) This requires me to press the power button for 10 seconds every time [23:52] yamahaalex37: you technically dont, but just like pagefile, its is better to have it than to not [23:53] Hey, everyone. I need some help installing Ubuntu. [23:53] someone? [23:53] lduros: use sudo shutdown -p now [23:53] fizyplankton: what does that do? [23:53] lduros: sorry. "sudo shutdown -P now". it tells it to shutdown after it unloads the kernal [23:53] lduros, it tells the system to power off, after halting [23:53] fizyplankton: sudo halt doesn't turn off the laptop? [23:54] i have a small problem with ubuntu 9.10, when i want to install chrome, i have something like that: Error: libasound2 (>>1.0.22) [23:54] lduros: nope. it does everything EXCEPT pull the plug [23:54] fizyplankton: odd, I've been using it all the time, but maybe it was debian [23:54] :-) [23:54] fizyplankton: ok, good to know [23:54] :-) [23:54] fizyplankton, could fail have been due to lack of internet? [23:54] yes [23:54] sudo apt-get install libasound2 failed, libasound2 have the newest ver. [23:54] shit [23:54] yamahaalex37: very doubtfull, but maybe [23:55] <_cb> fizyplankton how do I label a partition in Ubuntu 11.10? [23:55] inertial: ahh, yes seems you need extra steps for the gcc package anyway, see debian/README.source [23:55] yamahaalex37: try plugging it into a landline, then install [23:55] no one helpful today in room !!! [23:55] How do I add items to the sidebar in Unity? [23:55] ANyone have an idea as to why I would get an 'firmware missing' error after installing the STA driver for my broadcom bm4312 chipset? [23:55] inertial: in general though, most packages using quilt will have patches automatically applied after apt-get source [23:55] I have tried with Wubi and by booting from a flash drive on 64-Bit, and I've tried booting from a flash drive with 32-Bit. The problem I'm having is that I can boot to Ubuntu, but once I do, there's no video. I have audio, but nothing shows up. I have also tried booting the 32-Bit version from a flash drive on another computer, but that computer doesn't seem able to boot from USB, so I don't know if it's a problem with the iso or with [23:55] _cb: look in system>administration>then disk utility [23:56] fizyplalankton maybe you will help me? [23:56] kn_: whats up with you? iv only been paying attn to pings [23:57] kn_, it tells you libasound2 is at newest version, what makes you think it's not? [23:57] i have a small problem with ubuntu 9.10, when i want to install chrome, i have something like that: Error: libasound2 (>>1.0.22) [23:57] <_cb> fizyplankton thanks. (Will have to figure out how to do it in Unity. Still learning this interface) [23:57] sudo apt-get install libasound2 failed, libasound2 have the newest ver. [23:57] I feel that it's probably something really stupid that I'm overlooking, but I can't for the life of me figure it out. I've also tried booting 64-Bit from CD. [23:57] kn_: i have no idea [23:58] package linux-libc-headers-2.6.20-r7: task do_configure: failed??????????????????????????? [23:58] and i don't find anythin like this on google;/ [23:58] Fizzyplankton, you seem to be the knowledgeable one. Any thoughts? [23:58] _cb: look for disk utility. if you cant find that, gparted is a more powerfull but more user hostile alternative. i reccomment disk utility. look for a way to give the selected partition a laben (note than it will have to be unmounted) [23:58] kn_: From google searching, it suggests your ubuntu is too old. [23:59] kn_: Relondo _cb yamahaalex37 and everyone else: its din-din time for me. sorry [23:59] * fizyplankton nomms his dinner [23:59] fizyplankton, enjoy ^^ [23:59] <_cb> ok the way to find it in Unity one has to click on the icon on the top left and type disk utility.
