I have an alfa AWUS036H wireless adapter with an rlt8187 chipset, but the driver on the 3.0.0-13 kernel is bogus, and it keeps disconnecting every 10-15 mins. Anyone had any luck or experience with alfa here? [00:02] i.e dpkg is intrupting [00:02] derp, distro is broken, fix it yourself [00:02] genjix: move it to offtopic, your rant isn't topic here. [00:02] ^ goood advice :) [00:02] sadly no progre55 i do want one though. [00:02] m4v: #ubuntu ... off topic? lol [00:02] looking for discussion here [00:03] genjix: and this isn't a discussion channel. [00:03] it's a channel about #ubuntu [00:03] genjix: exactly, go to offtopic for that. [00:03] perfectly on topic [00:03] i am new to linux plz help me out [00:03] genjix: no. #ubuntu is for support. #ubuntu-offtopic is for discussion. [00:03] chz|bacon: it's powerful but useless with the latest kernel.. although luckily bt5 has an older kernel and it works fine =) [00:03] but ok you dont like being challenged [00:03] vlc - possible to mix different elementary audio streams during playback?

[00:06] i thought this chat room is helpful for me [00:06] how do i disable touchpad mouse in my laptop - ubuntu 11.10 ? [00:06] ubuntu will fail, become a pale shadow of itself today, and then you will look back and wonder why. it's because of this attitude of shutting yourself in and ignoring debate and feedback. everyone has declared their hate of unity, and i was supportive of it for the longest time until the evidence is too strong to ignore. it is a slow, ugly and worthless. these is too much memetic inbreeding and groupthink in among upstream ubuntu develo [00:06] latest kernel for 10.04.3 .... not now but it'd overheat with regular desktop install... i run openbox minimal install [00:06] why so many haters in here? :) [00:06] HI ALL I have a question maybe you can help, I need to know what processes are using the swap file Ubuntu [00:07] lol Pici [00:07] salty: can you try "uname -r" and paste the output, please?

Can someone help me out? I put the plugin in what I'm pretty sure is the correct directory but when I try to enable it inside gedit the plugin grays out and the checkbox doesn't activate. [00:11] lduros: "lshw -C network" look for your device then look for driver. [00:11] manish_: I told you some lines back, did you try with "sudo dpkg --configure -a" for finish any uncompleted install?

[00:18] how do i patch a source? i have the source, and the patch in .patch format [00:18] er, when does it restart?* [00:19] m4v: when i run some command same that you hav given me [00:19] okay, so I tried 3 diff wireless cards [00:19] none of them worked [00:19] at least with the present card it showed up in lspci [00:19] does 11 update drivers in the background?

Would anyone happen to know how to remove icons from the task bar up top? (Icons adjacent to Applications,Places, etc.) Perhaps gnome 3 fallback leaves this out, i can put them there but cannot figure out how to delete them. [00:23] ugh, I don't want to reinstall the OS [00:23] there must be a way to fix this [00:24] manish_: I mean if it ever used to work, this didn't happen before or Ubuntu always behaved like that for you. [00:24] m4v: always shows dpkg is intruppting when i configure it it takes time then pc get restarted with their own [00:24] machiolate: try holding down the alt-key when editing the panel [00:24] m4v: then i hav to reinstall this os [00:25] nice coraxx, you rock! [00:25] Thankyou sir. [00:25] your welcome [00:26] manish_: to be honest, I don't know what could it be, probably something is royalty broken and you can try reinstalling Ubuntu, if that continues I suspect something hardware related. === rymate1234 is now known as rymate1234|away [00:27] how do i patch a source package with a .patch format patch please?

[01:24] diverdude: useradd tends to add a user. usermod amends an existing one. It's unlikely it's useradd that's being stupid ;) [01:25] Relondo, you can boot a thumb this way although if loaded with unetbootin you can't get to tye right arae to choose the nomodeset. Don't worry about your knowledge here, I suspect that some open source will run that card probably ubuntu will with the right kicks. Nomodeset is universal. [01:25] How would I resolve these? >> http://pastebin.com/dWauQ5fa [01:25] somsip, ok...so will it add webdev to bdi's list of users or will it replace the current?

[01:26] diverdude: I did this a couple of days ago and having previously replaced all groups I made very sure it was correct: usermod -a -G {group} {user}, but do check it out yourself to be sure [01:26] Llnuxrules i see that how do i fix it [01:26] I am using ubuntu to build a kiosk and would like to reset the auto login session after a set amount of inactivity. I need a command that I can run to log out the current gdm user. I thought gdm-restart might work, but it returns "Not supported". Ideas? [01:26] post your source file to pastebin [01:26] somsip, but how do i see which groups bdi is member of? [01:27] diverdude: cat /etc/groups |grep bdi, or maybe sudo groups bdi [01:27] Im dont use ubuntu or apt much though [01:27] L1nuxrules where do i find my source file [01:27] ? [01:27] I* [01:28] /etc/apt/sources.list [01:28] Relondo have you set your computer BIOS to boot from usb? [01:28] Relondo, I'm not familiar with all of the wubi stuff you might consider the ubuntu forums there are a couple of members there who are quite knowledgeable. Your welcome to try here but not many use wubi here. [01:28] diverdude: erm...grep bdi /etc/groups (don't know why I've got into the habit of catting eveything through grep...) [01:28] wallacethegreat, Yeah, I can boot from the USB. I just get no video; this also happens when booting from Wubi. [01:29] diverdude: /etc/group (doh) [01:29] urlin2u, I would like to install Ubuntu on its own partition, but I'm waiting to make a complete image of my drive first, in case anything goes horribly wrong. [01:29] L1nuxrules i need a crash course how do i get here [01:29] there* === christian is now known as Guest41654 [01:29] Relondo, that is a great idea evrybody should image there OS. :D === Guest41654 is now known as Dr_Azil [01:30] bfri open a terminal and typr nano +7 /etc/apt/sources.list ( will open it on line 7) [01:30] if you can provide whats on line 7 that would be great [01:30] everybody/their [01:30] urlin2u, Unfortunately, the software I have boots from a floppy (dinosaur tech, I know). Do you happen to know of a replacement for Norton Ghost? [01:31] Relondo: clonezilla [01:31] bfri you will probably need to run it as sudo to save any changes [01:31] Relondo: clonezilla worth looking at? [01:31] Is clonezilla free? [01:31] Relondo, clonezilla it is even better you boot a disc and save it the whole thing. clonezilla.org [01:31] Relondo, yes open source. [01:31] I just upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04 and I'm not liking it. Any way I can downgrade back to 10.04? [01:32] Relondo: I saw it yesterday when looking at backup options and it specifically mentioned being like Norton Ghost. Worth looking at maybe? === nicholas is now known as Guest38134 [01:32] I am looking now. Thanks :) [01:32] Relondo: You want clonezilla live--just to save you some time figuring out which to download. [01:32] Thanks again [01:32] dr_azil no you will need to do a fresh install [01:32] I need to edit a shell script but one I double click on it it only opens in read only mode. How do I edit it ? [01:33] somsip, ok...i added www-data and bdi to group webdev and i did sudo chown -R bdi:webdev cakephp on /var/www/cakephp. So i go to browser and try to do http://localhost/cakephp/ but i get Forbidden (no access to /cakephp/app/webroot/). Why is that happening? [01:33] L1nuxrules http://pastebin.com/N08PBbVd [01:33] L1nuxRules, The only thing I'm not liking is the new desktop environment. Is there any way I could change that? [01:33] i can't get bitlbee to update. How would I resolve these? >> http://pastebin.com/dWauQ5fa ? this is an apt-get issue [01:33] Wait-Does this program only run on Linux? [01:34] bfri place deb in front of it with a space and try again should work [01:34] diverdude: if you usermod, the user needs to logout and log back in for it to tak eeffect. I'd imagine this would require a reboot to kick group membership for www-data, but I'm not sure. [01:34] Relondo: It runs as a live cd, linux based, but can be used with any OS. [01:34] somsip, ohhh ok..damn...that sux [01:35] L1nuxrules what do i do to leave now how do i save [01:35] diverdude: personally I mark dirs in www as user:www-data and g+s. Seems to do the trick except for with Wordpress which is annoying [01:35] Paul_E, Good, since my problem is the inability to run Ubuntu. [01:35] dr_azil yes you can install gnome and log out then on login screen you will have the option to select desktop iirc gnome is already installed so you should get the choice on login [01:35] bfri ctrl+x [01:35] Thanks [01:35] somsip, what is user:www-data and g+s ? [01:35] L1nuxrules then i hit y and then what? [01:36] I need to edit a shell script but one I double click on it it only opens in read only mode. How do I edit it ? [01:36] Be right back then. Thanks L1nuxRules [01:36] dr_azil np [01:36] brfi then it will exit and save then try updating again [01:37] L1nuxrules it asks me to write: /etit c/apt/sources. list and then a list of options [01:37] brfi just hit enter [01:37] Alright guys, thanks for all the help. [01:37] somsip,?? [01:38] L1nuxrules ok now how do i leave it [01:38] is that a typo /etit c/apt/sources. list? [01:38] diverdude: I have src in /usr/local source which is owned by user:developers. On deployment (on every file save in my case) everything gets copied to /var/www owned by user:www-data. Adding chmod g+s to a directory makes sure everything written to it keeps the same group ownershiw (g(roup) + s(sticky)). So in /var/www every dir and subdir remains as user:www-data. This means noone except the owner can mess with /var/www but anyone in developers group can amen [01:38] * I have source in /usr/local/src... [01:39] somsip, aha interesting [01:39] somsip, what is that ame? [01:39] L1nuxrules it doesn't save [01:39] hi [01:39] diverdude: not ideal for everyone, but it's my final (currently, it's final but who knows) approach [01:39] bfri it needs to be opened using sudo then [01:39] diverdude: ame? [01:40] somsip, you write in the end ....but anyone in developers group can ame [01:40] bfri say no to save then sudo nano +7 /etc/apt/sources.list [01:40] I need to edit a shell script but one I double click on it it only opens in read only mode. How do I edit it ? [01:40] diverdude: amend the source in /usr/local/src.

I tried the Wubi Windows Installer and that would not boot when I selected it from the boot menu. So, I tried downloading the iso file and burning it to a DVD. When I restarted my computer to try and install it no boot menu came up; it just went straight to Windows 7. So I restarted again and pressed F12, chose "boot from disc" option, [01:43] but there was no OS selection menu; it just went straight to Windows 7.

Sound will play just fine out of my internal laptop speakers, but plug in some head phones or external speakers and the system mutes itself. When I go to unmute it, sound is playing through both my internal and external speakers. Any way around this?

Anyway, I'm lovin the new media player but I was wonder -ie my question is, how do I adjust the Aspect Ratio for video in Banshee?

[01:57] maum__, I think you might need to call your harddrive manufacurer [01:58] if I've rm'd that original source, will it be a problem if I re-download it, extract, and then do the sudo make uninstall in the new source? [01:58] as along as they're the same version and all [01:58] tp43 ok [01:58] i agree with tp43, it is a hard disk failure [01:58] Thats what I saw on the internet, you manufacturer, might have some diagnostic tools to correct the disk [01:59] maum__ https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=107111 [01:59] crassus: If you get the same source, then I think it should work. [01:59] Since my update to 11.04, my audio has been messed up. Sound will play just fine out of my internal laptop speakers, but plug in some head phones or external speakers and the system mutes itself. When I go to unmute it, sound is playing through both my internal and external speakers. Any way around this? [01:59] kupholder, did you try Banshee, I wanna make adjust Aspect Ratio, is it possible? [01:59] if I want users to be able to put files in a directory, but I want the files themselves to be read only, what perms should I set on the directory? [01:59] kupholder, i checked my firewall log. it has got some worrying scans from IP that have been reported to be "scan and infect" botnets. see the log >>>http://pastebin.com/uBxcANYB<<< [01:59] Dr_Azil, but sounds like it is working [02:00] crassus: maybe you could check the version of your program and then look for that version of the source [02:00] Dr_Azil, mute the internal [02:00] lsv: yep, that's what I'm doing [02:00] problem is it's hugeass texlive2011 [02:00] tp43, do I go to sound preferences for that? [02:00] so it will be a huge hassle to redownload [02:01] crassus: oohh... [02:01] Dr_Azil, 1 sec, let me check where it is [02:01] yeah, 4gb download [02:01] not fun [02:01] crassus: 4gb of source? [02:01] I wish there was an uninstall binary that was outside of the source that was put in /usr/bin or whatever [02:02] yeah, tex is huge man [02:02] Dr_Azil, goto control center and then there is one there says sound [02:02] is there any man page for that program? [02:02] somsip, really sorry for the afk, got called away from computer. The purple loading screen [02:03] virtualbox Windows xp and access to ubuntu drive, how would i do that? [02:05] tp43, going into the output tab I see Internal Audio Analog Stereo. It won't let me do anything with it [02:05] Crash_O-D: There is some GUI thing built into virtualbox for that [02:06] My computer is ten times louder now that I upgraded to 11 from lucid, and even the fans do seem to rattle anymore like they used to [02:06] Dr_Azil, fiddle around there, that is where your solution is === Administrator is now known as Guest23284 [02:06] ebian: 4.1.2 does not seem to work [02:06] cpgo: This might help but you'll need to check it applies for your version of ubuntu http://www.noobslab.com/2011/11/install-plymouth-manager-and-change.html [02:06] I've fiddled as much as possible in there before I came here for help, tp43 [02:07] Dr_Azil, hmm, maybe there is a more expert than me here who can help you, cause I can't think of anything else, actually, try alsamixer on the command line [02:07] crassus: does it have a man page? Maybe the man page has some info? [02:08] hmm, to uninstall it's saying just do an rm -rf of the tex directory [02:08] crassus, I never install except through sources [02:09] tp43: I'm comfortable doing source installs as well, but this one with texlive2011 is really badly done [02:09] other tex programs can't find it, etc [02:09] crassus, otherwise you have to manually find all the files and delete them, but many programs have an uninstall script, usually the ones with sh scripts for install/uninstall [02:09] so I'm going to switch back to the packaged one which is older :( [02:09] 2009 vs 2011 [02:09] but it works, so who cares [02:10] crassus_, too bad, but often, the only difference you notice is some flashy new colours and stuff like that, which we all love, but no big deal === crassus_ is now known as crassus [02:10] But i love the new colors of ubuntu 11 from 10 [02:11] i'm on 10.04 tp43 === zz_r3v0 is now known as r3v0 [02:11] samsul, rebooting and tryin [02:11] Cradam, dude, you gotta come to 11, I think you can do a direct from 10.04 to 11.04 and then to 11.10 [02:12] I'm fine with 10.04, it's great. i've been using it only for 2 years and love it === r3v0 is now known as r3v0|WhippleDip [02:12] will be until it's EOL-ed [02:13] Hi, i have a problem, of the most interesting nature, with my laptop. Yesterday it worked perfect. I turned it off and then, when i came back to home, turned it on. There's light in some buttons, but, there's nothing more. No HP first screen (as it always did). So, i thought it was dead. [02:13] crassus, dude, 3.0 kernel [02:13] "flashy colors" :p [02:14] but yeah, I'll get there, probably not on ubuntu though :/ [02:14] crassus, my system used to rattle, i haven't heard it rattle yet, but its only been a couple hours, also, my sound is ten times louder [02:14] So, i waited in long hours of agony till i tried again. Gave a hug to my laptop and it suddenly worked. [02:14] I'm thinking of switching to arch linux [02:14] linoge: something loose inside? Hug snapped it back into place? [02:14] no problems ever with hardware on 10.04 and my computer tp43 [02:14] As of today, it didn't work. [02:14] samsul, my monitors native res is 1920x1080. The closest one in the list was 1920x1200. I put that and it made it worse. So 1920x1080 is impossible? [02:15] crassus, Arch is using gnome 3.0, I am thinking of upgrading [02:15] And then, a few minutes ago, i just turned it on. This time no hugs where involved. [02:16] Paul_E: I'm not aware of something loose, it's inside the possibilities, and i'll check it tomorrow, with calm. I just felt like asking first what can be causing this extremely weird behaviour.

[02:32] dr_willis: oh, so you create a bootable linux floppy and copy the ubuntu CD to USB and it chains from the fDD to the USB? [02:32] dr_willis: no, 32 [02:33] can i boot ubuntu from a slave hdd? [02:33] Supertonyman: yes. [02:33] Supertonyman: yes. [02:33] thanks! using gurb right? [02:33] Supertonyman: yes. [02:33] d1g1ta1: yes. i saw some guide on doing it the other day. but cant recal where i saw it at. webupd8, or pendrivelinux, or lifehacker. [02:33] Supertonyman: grub. :) yes. [02:34] :-) [02:34] bbl [02:34] there is a visual version of gurb right? grub? [02:34] atlanyu: Yes, i'm very sure it can, as improbable as it seems. Even between partitions there are fights. When i boot in arch, ubuntu doesn't get sound like a week, and when i boot ubuntu, arch doesn't get sound, leaving me completely without sound many times. [02:35] What is the best way to install ubuntu to a 100GB partition on my external usb drive? I just did it with jaunty (had to have old support... but i guess now i don't it seems) - it installed grub, which i 100000% hate, and it torched my windows [02:35] i have a bunch of cron jobs that i want to kill -- how do i find them [02:35] so i restored windows, but how can i get it to use all 100GB's? I am going to use it for a kernel building enviornment [02:35] * Mgamerz is also new to kernel stuff [02:35] linoge: :-) :-) :-) ... that "sound problems" seem familiar to me ... [02:36] so, is it possible to move an Ubuntu drive to completely different hardware and bring it up? [02:36] yes [02:36] crontab seems to run /etc/cron.daily, weekly, monthly, etc [02:36] just don't install graphics drivers ;) [02:36] * linoge apologizes if he hath wrote some words wrong. [02:36] but the jobs aren't there [02:36] cpgo, pastebin xrandr -q ? [02:37] btw, does anyone here know how I can get my DVB-T RTL2832U Stick to work with 2.6.32-21-generic-pae ? Seems that it doesn't like a PAE enabled kernel... blah disagrees about version of symbol dvb_usb_device_init ... [02:37] but i will most likely keep it on one (or two) machines at the most. [02:37] atlanyu: :) [02:37] Mgamerz: difficult? [02:37] MahaVishnu, http://pastebin.com/RWGw5Nke [02:38] got a problem with a nis client, can see ypcat passwd / group but cant login with username from nismaster any idea's what i can try? [02:38] Well, maybe arch decided to destroy my laptop after i installed ubuntu to try the new version. We had a long relationship and knew each other to the point we could both read our thoughts. [02:38] cpgo, it says ur using 1080 ?? [02:39] Has anyone got x11vnc to work correctly with xinetd? [02:39] hi [02:39] Hi. [02:39] Difficult? [02:39] MahaVishnu, it says what it says .. idk what to make of it. Are you referring to "current"? === bobby__ is now known as skegeek [02:39] I know I had it working on an external drive perfectly fine on... like intrepid or something [02:39] worked perfectly [02:39] cpgo, xrandr -s 1920x1080 [02:40] Mgamerz: to move Ubuntu drive from 1 PC to completely different hardware (desktop to laptop)? [02:40] works fine for me [02:40] idk if im correct but it seems to choose which drivers to load when it needs to [02:40] MahaVishnu, ran it, no output [02:40] l8r. [02:40] and hot damn i put too much fire oil in my mongolian bbq food. stuff is so hot!!! [02:41] I'm having a problem with Ubuntu freezing when left alone for even a few minutes. I thought it may be memory, but if it ran out of swap it would just shut down... [02:41] Mgamerz: you mean I don't' have to do anything -- it reconfigures automatically? [02:41] Can anyone tell me why i cant access an ubuntu shared drive via mac? [02:41] but i can via ubuntu or windows [02:41] cpgo, and no change ? whats ur resolution look like its at ? [02:41] it just loads generic drivers [02:41] i've done it before between a few computers. if you can deal without hardware accelerations then yeah it works great [02:42] Can someone help? I have high CPU on youtube even with hardware acceleration enabled. I'm using FF w\Adobe flash 11 on Ubuntu 11.04 (x86_64). [02:42] you don't do the 'minimum' install iirc... something in minicd installation versions where you can install abig set of drivers or just ones for this specifc machine [02:42] MahaVishnu, just so we're on the same page, what do you think my problem is/what are you trying to fix? [02:42] Mgamerz: thanx, I'll give it a try! [02:42] can't guarantee it'll be perfect [02:42] I'm also using the newest nvidia drivers, as the internal ones didn't work either, [02:42] but i've booted off about 3 or 4 machiens at school + home in the past [02:43] i have it formatted as ext3... but installing it installs grub, and i dont' want that [02:43] MahaVishnu, its my boot screen (plymouth) that has low resolution, not my desktop - if thats why you think my problem is [02:43] cpgo LOL [02:44] sudo apt-get install v86d hwinfo === max is now known as Guest76505 [02:44] done [02:44] what's the difference in nvidia-current and nvidia-current-updates? [02:45] It was a good thing to chat with you, but i must turn back to some esoteric math problems. Bye and good night. [02:45] Guys, something is terribly wrong with my new ubuntu 11.10. It has things messed up interface on it that you can't get rid of or beat with a stick [02:45] When gdm restarts, is it somehow possible to hide all of the text that displays? [02:46] cpgo, sudo hwinfo --framebuffer | grep "Mode" [02:46] Natty (Gnome Classic), in Places tab, how can I change where the Music, Pictures and Videos folders point to? [02:46] http://pastebin.com/ZsX256a3 [02:46] MahaVishnu, ^ [02:47] 1920x1080 isnt on there [02:47] punch the monitor, show it who's boss [02:47] lolol [02:47] Mgamerz: that solves most issues without trouble [02:48] cpgo, so gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub find #GRUB_GFXMODE [02:48] i love when people try to smack the monitors trying to get the computer to work [02:48] id punch unity [02:48] MahaVishnu, k [02:48] Mgamerz: if you didn't know the computers brain is in the monitor then you're retarded [02:48] cpgo, 1920x1200 or 1280x720 [02:48] * Mgamerz feelings are deeply hurt. [02:48] and remove the # [02:49] or 800 just pick the one yo uwant. [02:49] Any ideas for solving what seems to be Gnome freezing after a bit of idling? [02:49] So I might just use super grub disk (floppy) to boot onto the hard drive, since it doesn't seem i can have NTFS and ext3 (and swap) on the hard drive and not use grub [02:49] the computers brain is in the tower the brain issues are usaully on the chair in front of the monitor [02:49] looool [02:49] MahaVishnu, update-grub2 next? [02:49] update-grub* [02:50] theres both, whats the diff [02:50] cpgo, yea and do an sudo update-initramfs -u (I always do that just to be sure) [02:50] its grub2 now. [02:50] update-grub is the commnd though [02:50] uhh I think 2 works on my machine also.. [02:51] it might never tried [02:51] yes it does. [02:51] rebooting, brb [02:52] Natty (Gnome Classic), in Places tab, how can I change where the Music, Pictures and Videos folders point to? [02:52] 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. [02:53] eknotsevoy modify your nic startup scripts to start ssh rather than chkconfig [02:54] MahaVishnu, still an 1.5" black border around the boot screen, doesnt stretch all the way even tho we put a higher res than my monitors native one [02:55] mmm skrillex [02:55] makes me want to finish college [02:55] cpgo, I saw this option too... set gfxpayload=keep for grb [02:55] cpgo, idk if it will help. === tum is now known as Guest93244 [02:56] cpgo, that goes in your /boot/grub/grub.cfg file under the kernel you want to boot like near the insmod lines [02:56] anyone know anything about this error: Could not initialize SDL: Unable to open a console terminal. [02:57] can anyone recommend any firewall applications [02:57] iptables :) [02:57] iptables [02:57] lol [02:57] rebooting [02:58] if you don't understand iptables get webmin. that'll dumb it down for you. [02:58] anyone has x11vnc working with xinetd? [02:58] a lot of people on this channel say webmin is insecure [02:58] and unsupported [02:58] so why do people still use it? [02:58] RokcStar: depends whether you spend time configuring it. I've never had a problem with it. [02:58] look at UFW if you want something easier than using iptables directly [02:59] never used webmin but surely its just a frontend for Iptaables? [02:59] !webmin [02:59] 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. [02:59] RokcStar: Keep in mind, someone will always have commentary on your software/hardware regardless of what you're using. [02:59] there are local GUI apps to configure iptables also. just look around. [02:59] firestarter or something was one idk if its still around. [03:00] it is [03:00] !firestarter [03:00] 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. [03:00] nice ubottu [03:00] thanks [03:00] RokcStar: if you know what you're doing, that's probably a better idea [03:00] ubottu is a robot RokcStar ;-) [03:00] MahaVishnu: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:00] why debian cant use the Red Hat way though... [03:00] i dont, but i can learn [03:01] I still use webmin :x [03:03] I added "export RAILS_ENV=production" to /etc/apache2/envvars, but "ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/${RAILS_ENV}-error.log" results in a file literally named "${RAILS_ENV}-error.log".. what am I missing? [03:03] I still use vi to edit my firewall [03:04] does anyone have an answer to this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1655334 [03:05] when trying to run x11vnc via xinetd i ALWAYS get "rfbNewClient: write: Broken pipe" error message? What am i doing wrong i dont get it [03:06] paul_e add quiet to your boot entry [03:06] L1nuxRules: boot entry? Where's that? [03:07] press e to edit the grub entry your booting from and where you see splash put quiet before it [03:08] I never see grub. [03:08] <_cb> In Ubuntu 9 the time applet could be configured to display weather info. Not so in 11, how does one get that applet in 11? [03:09] Hey, you guys know how a vacuum works? unity sucks [03:09] L1nuxRules: In /etc/default/grub, I see GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" [03:09] you will need to edit it in /boot/grub/grub.conf then [03:09] boldfilter, unity is vomit [03:10] and GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=" splash quiet" [03:10] vomit and poop [03:10] does the order matter? should it be quiet splash? [03:10] thats the least verbose boot I know so not sure you can disable anything else [03:11] order doesent matter [03:11] L1nuxRules: I still get output from somewhere that you can see right before Plymouth kicks in. Just for a split screen. [03:11] er.. split second :) [03:12] Im slackware/centos Im not that familiar with ubuntu or plymouth [03:12] okay [03:12] MahaVishnu, nope [03:12] I am desperate here [03:12] I boot up my windows partition and the wireless works [03:12] cpgo, idk then :F [03:13] the wireless worked in my linux partition until this monring then, bork [03:13] nothing [03:13] I boot up a live linux CD and the wireless still doesn't work [03:13] I go to a store and try a few mini-pci cards and the wireless is still out [03:13] genoobie, disabled in bios some how? does it have a hardware switch [03:13] not that I am aware of, but that would not explain how it works in windows [03:13] I will double check though === boss is now known as Guest40168 [03:14] My flash isn't working. I've installed, reinstalled, uninstalled, and installed. Used the software center and also the terminal to install/uninstall. Any suggestions? Do you need more info to help? [03:14] (adobe flash player) [03:15] hello i gota problem i did install slim to use instead of gdm, all fine but aparently an loading animation of ubuntu pre loaded after gdm start it dont die and i see the colors incorrects [03:15] Flash *does* work in Chrome, but I think that's cause Chrome has a built-in flash player.... would that affect the normal/standalone player? [03:15] Dear ubuntu, my desktop pc is not a smartphone, give me a decent interface, thank you [03:16] lol [03:16] boldfilter, try xfce or fluxbox [03:16] boldfilter1 your a Linux user please learn that your in control not the provider [03:16] boldfilter, or go back gnome [03:17] new gnome sucks too [03:17] ctrl+alt+f1 :) [03:17] MahaVishnu, k, thanks [03:18] boldfilter1: there is a site that lists all the unity packages in ubuntu so you can apt-get remove it and then switch desktops [03:18] i installed xfce through the xubuntu-desktop package [03:18] its not bad [03:19] MahaVishnu, no switch in BIOS [03:19] I like unity better than gnome 3, at least in 11.10 [03:19] lduros: agreed. [03:20] only issue is taht ubuntu isn't fully free :-( I wish it were :-P [03:20] Hi I burned the iso to a CD and when it boots a purple screen comes up with a picture of a keyboard, an equal sign, and a stick figure. After awhile, my screen starts flashing red/green/blue/white and the CD drive is going crazy scanning really fast. Is this normal, because after a minute of this going on I decided to force shutdown. [03:20] MahaVishnu, desperate here... [03:20] My flash isn't working. I've installed, reinstalled, uninstalled, and installed. Used the software center and also the terminal to install/uninstall. Any suggestions? Do you need more info to help? [03:21] that dashboard launcher has to go [03:22] wireless worked, now it doesn't, linux is like that... [03:22] genoobie, and what did you do between it working and not working ? [03:22] users re like that [03:22] Damnit why oh why is linux just such a nightmare, everyone solves the same problems wasting a lot of time [03:22] ntr0py: is windows not the same? [03:22] apparently nothing [03:22] everyone got problems [03:22] not sure if updates were done in the background... [03:23] can i roll back updates? [03:23] ntr0py, because until you learn to figure out how to solve problems on linux it is a nightmare. but it is very easy to solve most problems cause alot are the same ones heh! [03:23] aeon-ltd: no, windows is not the same. there is less of a hassle. and for the hassles there are, there is more support than a few websites and channels. [03:23] windows is worse at least you can dig under the hood and fix your self In Linux [03:23] you can dig under the hood and fix in windows as well. [03:23] yeah, my wireless works in windows, it stopped working in linux [03:23] how editing the registry lmao [03:24] actually you have to pay for windows support usually. but I think there is a channel on here. [03:24] i love linux and ubuntu is my favorite distro, but it would be wrong to say that linux has less or the same amount of hassle as windows [03:24] Hi I burned the iso to a CD and when it boots a purple screen comes up with a picture of a keyboard, an equal sign, and a stick figure. After awhile, my screen starts flashing red/green/blue/white and the CD drive is going crazy scanning really fast. Is this normal, because after a minute of this going on I decided to force shutdown. [03:24] MahaVishnu, in all seriousness, as far as I know, nothing changed. [03:24] flippityflip, but its offtopic [03:24] I was doing a system update and got a buch of messages and now gnome-key is not working [03:24] no Linux has nowhere near the issues that windows does [03:24] But the extra support and fewer hassles are because of paid software and hardware, linux is free be grateful and perservere :) [03:25] Ive used it for years the main breakage is the user [03:25] woah sorry to derail the chan guys. [03:25] MahaVishnu: understood, but be aware that I didn't bring it up, just continuing a conversation [03:25] MahaVishnu: yes but some are not and and those really feel like a biggest waste of time, always trying to get things working that *should* work out of the box [03:25] how to change gnome-key === aarcane__ is now known as aarcane [03:25] last thing i'll say. half the reason things don't work out of the box is the manufacturer of the item. [03:26] not linux. [03:26] That's a cop out [03:26] End user doesn't care who's fault it is [03:26] Agreed, it *is* a cop out. [03:26] and I dont care what the end user wants. cause my stuff didn't all work out of the box. but I made it work. [03:27] MahaVishnu, any suggestions outside of switch in bios? [03:27] again, I love Linux and Ubuntu. But I definitely cannot recommend it to the everyday consumer because of the lack of compatibility, OR the steps you would need to take in order to ensure compatibility. [03:27] MahaVishnu: yes i never found a better os than linux, but sometimes it gets really frustrating... [03:27] genoobie- do you know what wireless card you have? [03:27] grr my internet sucks lately [03:27] flippityflip, atheros [03:28] 5007 I think [03:28] genoobie, pastebin sudo lshw -C network [03:29] ntr0py, agreed I couldn't make my intel integrated chip and my nvidia card work together until yesterday. but like I heard someone say in here linux is for people who like to take stuff apart and put it back together, and obviously it's free. [03:29] I like the fact that in linux you may have to build or make something to make something work [03:29] I am trying to output that to a file [03:29] hold a sec [03:29] brb [03:29] And in linux before unity, I liked the customization freedom === GrimsCompany is now known as ViperVenom [03:30] genoobie, you can install pastebinit and do like sudo pastebinit command to auto paste it doesn't work for everything though [03:30] lets not start a unity discussion ;\ [03:30] MahaVishnu, I don't have connectivity on the linux box [03:30] no wire? [03:30] whats with Linux before unity though ? [03:31] MahaVishnu, here http://pastebin.com/BLAE49p5 [03:31] !nounity [03:31] 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 [03:31] gnome 3/unity no customization [03:32] genoobie lsmod | grep ath [03:32] just two shitty interfaces [03:32] genoobie you want to redirect the output of thew command to a file? [03:32] Is there anyway to NOT install grub while installing ubuntu? It'd save me a big headache [03:32] boldfilter: huh? [03:33] if so command > 2&>1 output [03:35] or actually command > outpout 2&>1 [03:35] MahaVishnu, sorry here is the "clean" output of lshw [03:35] http://pastebin.com/iJn3N1pD [03:35] Mgamerz-Ubu, if you choose the something else option=manual and put it in the ubuntu partition you are not installing to the mbr. [03:35] MahaVishnu, here is the output of lsmod | grep ath [03:36] I'm doing 10.04 LTS [03:36] so i don't have the else [03:36] http://pastebin.com/z8cbWYUH [03:36] Mgamerz-Ubu, doesn't matter what release. [03:36] would it be under advanced at the end page? [03:36] Mgamerz-Ubu, yes that sounds right [03:36] 'install boot loader' [03:37] unckeck [03:37] i will say that linux's hardware detection has improved *significantly* [03:37] Mgamerz-Ubu, you running windows and want easybcd? [03:37] MahaVishnu, what do you think [03:37] genoobie$ how are you trying to connect network-manager ? [03:37] I normally run windows. Trying to build a kernel but am installing linux to an external hard drive on the secondary partiiton of it (after NTFS) === adam__ is now known as shovell [03:37] will just use super grub2 disk to boot, cause grub as MBR sucks balls [03:38] Mgamerz-Ubu, how you going to boot it? [03:38] ^ [03:38] grub on mbr is fine [03:38] MahaVishnu, not really sure, just through the network connections manager in lubuntu [03:38] i never find it is [03:38] hey guys got a question how can i connect to another computer over the internet i.e. remote desktop [03:38] grub is horrendous, it's broken my system like 3 times (after distro upgrade). I'm never going to trust it so i'll just do super grub disk. it's reliable [03:39] vnc or ssh [03:39] shovell: by using ssh [03:39] shovell: Have you ever done this before? [03:39] Mgamerz-Ubu, easy to put what you want in the mbr so this may be yourvweak link. [03:39] genoobie$ grep -r "ath5k" /etc/modprobe.d/ [03:39] edbian, not really [03:39] i'll keep the windows bootloader in mbr [03:39] and just boot from floppy [03:39] shovell: What computer are you trying to connect to? [03:39] shovell: I can help [03:40] genoobie$ sudo ifconfig -a [03:40] edbian i have a buddy on the other side of town and i need to go through the files i have stored there [03:41] shovell: Is his computer running linux? [03:41] ifconfig doesent need privs [03:41] unless your changing anything [03:41] edbian, ..... unfortunatlly i had not made the conversion [03:41] good point [03:41] MahaVishnu, here are the results of the grep of modprobe.d [03:41] http://pastebin.com/L2A5FQwz [03:41] edbian, windows 7 [03:41] owned! My flash works now. I had to uninstall GNASH... what the hell is gnash anyway? [03:41] shovell: Well if he's there and logged in just have him email you stuff. Or use dropbox if it's really big or something [03:42] edbian but i am not sure where it is stored [03:42] a gnu flash plugin flippityflip [03:42] shovell: so? So you wanna log in and look around? Have him look around. What's the different? [03:42] xangua: i knew that, was just trying to mock the name.... but thanks! [03:42] i have a dream. a dream that someday thunderbird will update their email notification popup to look modern [03:43] difference* [03:43] edbian he is a good friend but a dumb one [03:43] i'd like to have an applet or whatever you call it in unity to monitor my CPU, the heat etc? I have feelings my computer heats up sometimes, what can I use with Unity? Thx [03:43] MahaVishnu, here is the ifconfig -a [03:43] http://pastebin.com/PPjV7r3X [03:43] genoobie$ If you can plug a wire in to that machine. try to install "wicd" it is a really good wireless manager I have had much better luck with it than network-manager [03:43] A dream huh [03:43] I don't like that modprobe.d output [03:44] genoobie$ its fine actually [03:44] shovell: both of you install teamviewer and you can log in remotely. (that's probably the easiest way) [03:44] MahaVishnu, oh okay [03:44] I have a dream, a dream where I will never have the nick "Dream" in any IRC network. [03:44] edbian open source? [03:44] so I can find wicd in the synaptic? [03:44] shovell: Umm, I don't think it's open source but it is free [03:44] genoobie$ it looks like the device is loaded. but the interface eth0 has no IP so network-manager is not connecting? [03:44] shovell: There are open source ways of doing it. It's not as easy though. Not worth it for one time [03:44] lduros, you familiar with conky, take a look on the for what it looks like it is in the repos. [03:45] okay there it is I'll brb [03:45] web* [03:45] urlin2u: no i'm not, will look it up, thanks [03:45] correct [03:45] edbian, aah nice , i am kinda looking for the option to do that from time to time [03:45] lduros, it can be made to look cool and uses low resources. [03:45] MahaVishnu, although if I stick a wire in it, it will connect [03:45] but I will try the first wicd link in synaptic [03:45] brb [03:46] urlin2u: yeh looks fine to me :-) [03:46] shovell: Well than you should look into: http://gerardmcgarry.com/blog/how-remotely-connect-ubuntu-a-windows-machine [03:46] shovell: I didn't really look very closely at that. I googled and linked the first one that was right. [03:46] Why does the Update Manager keep trying to download Ubuntu One updates even though I uninstalled it and don't want to use it? [03:46] lduros, there are scriprs all over the web and a thread where people post theirs at the ubuntu forums. [03:46] scripts* [03:46] sudo aptitude remmina [03:47] thats a decent windows RDP client for Linux [03:47] is anyone good with fixing ubuntu NIC ports? [03:47] install* [03:47] I had driver issues [03:47] urlin2u: hehe [03:47] genoobie$ sudo rmmod ath5k && sudo modprobe ath5k [03:47] mattheas: NIC ports are the physical ethernet / network ports on a network interface card (NIC). Ubuntu does not make them, so your question does not make sense [03:48] has Has anyone used rdesktop and got the 'keymap not found: en-us' error? (1.6 or 1.7 / ubuntu jaunty?) [03:48] Ive only ever seen that error on getting disconnected [03:48] i'm using webtop for my atrix phone (based on jaunty) and it always says that, and nobody seems to know... or carfe why [03:49] edbian: thanks for the rhetoric check. I applied drivers to my NIC, and now it's created all the way up to eth10 on my 70-persistent-net.rules and created one eth_rename [03:49] edbian: I have a multiport NIC card [03:49] mattheas: I'm afraid I've never set up a multiple port nic card before :( [03:50] MahaVishnu, I just installed wicd [03:50] Is it possible to make network cards to work as router? [03:50] we'll see if it works [03:50] trackerx90: yes, it's called a network bridge [03:50] edbian, well that is not looking like it would suit my needs [03:50] trackerx90: Or, ip_forwarding if you're working low level [03:51] edbian, but thank you for the help [03:51] shovell: remote login ? Is that not exactly what you want? [03:51] shovell: sure [03:51] thanks [03:51] sure [03:51] your nics arent used as a router as such as they are just the hardware network connection but you can set a router up using Iptables [03:51] sorta have you used the remote desktop util in windows? [03:51] edbian sorta have you used the remote desktop util in windows? [03:51] MahaVishnu, doesn't seem to ahve fixed the issue [03:52] shovell: no, what's your point? [03:52] edbian that is the type of situation i am looking foe [03:53] shovell: What does windows remote desktop do that other remote desktop apps cannot do (I'm willing to bet nothing) [03:53] MahaVishnu, when I typed in sudo rmmod ath5k && sudo modprobe ath5k it said "You are now offline" [03:53] so now what?

[04:01] edbian, so I should skip this? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [04:01] I mean rebooting router [04:02] genoobie: I recommend running sudo ifconfig wlan0 up (not rebooting the router) [04:02] okay [04:02] SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill [04:03] genoobie: I knew it! [04:03] ?? [04:03] me too :) [04:03] genoobie: yeah I know the problem [04:03] hang on [04:03] genoobie: sudo rfkill list [04:03] genoobie: what's it say about things being blocked? [04:04] rfkill comand not found [04:04] anyone? [04:04] genoobie: really.... [04:04] yep [04:04] genoobie: Is the target machine online via something besides wifi?

[04:04] it can be if I need to [04:05] genoobie: do you have a wifi kill switch on this machine? (cause I think it's on) [04:05] well there is a wifi kill switch [04:05] but it is "blue" [04:05] genoobie: I could tell if we had rfkill installed but we don't apparently. [04:05] genoobie: flip it, then run sudo iwlist scan again [04:05] I can get rfkill [04:05] hi guys , i want to know how can i connect to my socks 5 tunnelling in ubuntu 11.10 ? do u have any program or command suggestion please ... ! [04:05] genoobie: what do you mean you can get rfkill ? [04:06] same output, network is down [04:06] is it possible that the switch is borked [04:06] genoobie: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up [04:06] genoobie: (you have flipped the switch right? [04:06] is there some way to bypass this so the switch has no effect [04:06] edbian$ can he try sudo ifup wlan0 also ? [04:06] well ordinarily the switch would go from blue to orange (orange being off) [04:06] but when I touch the switch there is no change [04:07] MahaVishnu: I'm not sure, I think there is a subtle difference between the two [04:07] edbian$ me too but ifup works better for me. always has [04:07] genoobie: yeah yeah, what about sudo ifconfig wlan0 up [04:07] MahaVishnu: but ifconfig is what told us it was blocked due to rfkill [04:07] operation not possible due to RF-kill [04:07] so I want to use that to check [04:07] edbian$ ah point taken sir. [04:07] genoobie: get online, run this: sudo apt-get install rfkill [04:07] genoobie: Then once it's installed, run sudo rfkill list [04:07] anything else I should install? [04:08] genoobie: no, just that [04:08] okay bbias [04:08] genoobie: are you sure rfkill isn't installed already?

It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [04:09] edbian: but i use unity ! [04:09] it's not that [04:10] r3za: just try the command (unity is built on gnome) [04:10] okay edbian 0:phy0 wireless lan [04:10] soft blocked yes hard blocked no [04:10] also, is there anyone who can help me find this plugin for gkrellm?

[04:11] genoobie: if 1 is blocked, but try 0 first, and look at sudo rfkill list to make sure it changed [04:11] edbian: ok buddy , thanks anyway ! [04:11] edbian what about restarting the network service? [04:11] r3za: sure [04:11] ed1703$ what is rfkill ? [04:11] L1nuxRules: we can't do that anymore right? (also I'm quite sure unblocking will fix things) [04:11] argh! [04:11] okay [04:11] argh? [04:11] edbian ^ [04:12] I can ifconfig wlan0 up [04:12] MahaVishnu: It's the software interface for the physical kill switch [04:12] thx [04:12] but iwlist scan = network is down [04:12] genoobie: Is everything unblocked now? [04:12] no, I will unblock [04:12] genoobie: what did ifconfig wlan0 up say? [04:12] genoobie: what are you daft? unblock everything, then try to bring it up, then try to scan [04:12] 0 is now switched so that hard-blocked is 0 [04:12] urhg okay sudo rfkill list = [04:12] genoobie: you have to flip the physical switch to change the hard-block [04:13] sudo rfkill unblock [04:13] A|i3N: gimmie a second while I google [04:13] okay, at this point [04:13] genoobie: ... [04:14] A|i3N: look what google found me: http://www.linuxhaxor.net/5-ways-to-screencast-your-linux-desktop/ [04:14] hold a sec... [04:14] Thank you edbian :) I like the bonus too, the truth about six pack abs ;) [04:14] I'm almost there [04:15] genoobie: haha [04:15] sure [04:15] flipping the switch only seems to affect hp-wifi (1) [04:15] genoobie: that's fine [04:15] but (0) phy0 is unaffected by hard switch [04:15] genoobie: Do everything you can to maximize unblocking [04:15] genoobie: you can pastebin it for me to see that would be great: paste.ubuntu.com [04:15] okay [04:16] the output of sudo rfkill list that is [04:16] okay, I rebooted the machine [04:16] genoobie: umm, ok? [04:16] genoobie this isnt windows lol === michael is now known as Guest88724 [04:16] Hey, anyone here installed a Bamboo Graphics tablet on Ubuntu? [04:17] yeah but it friggin worked [04:17] hi i need help. when my computer boots it gets stuck for a few minutes on waiting for network configuration, and waiting up to 60 more seconds for network configuration [04:17] genoobie: so it's solved then? [04:17] oaky, the light is intermittently flashing [04:17] blue/orange [04:17] it will just isnt needed ;) [04:17] but the connection is up [04:17] genoobie: ignore the stupid light [04:17] how can i install deb.tar file in ubuntu ? [04:17] rfkill list has everything unblocked [04:17] genoobie: good [04:17] genoobie: and you're online on wifi? [04:18] there are about 30 deb files in it [04:18] edbian, yes abso*friggin*lutely and thank you very much [04:18] sure :) [04:18] how can I prevent this in the future... [04:18] truefx: unpack the tar and install all the debs? [04:18] wtf happened (because it only went down today) [04:18] truefx: why so many packages? did you try the apt-get route? [04:19] so I can dump wicd [04:19] genoobie$ glad you got it sorted out. [04:19] milamber, yep i did [04:19] MahaVishnu, thank you as well! [04:19] genoobie$ yea if you want its still better than network-manager imho. [04:19] genoobie: It should stay up from now on. I don't know what happened. I'm guessing somebody hit the kill switch. Here's the thing, the kill switch needs to be off (that is the card is on) when the machine boots. That's probably what we did. [04:19] milamber, i try to install lazarus but i cant do it usin apt [04:19] genoobie: Now you can use rfkill to look at the block on the card and make sure everything is unblocked, then reboot and that should always fix it [04:19] can someone help me fix the waiting for network configuration on boot? [04:19] truefx: ok, then did you extract the files? .rar is a compression format [04:20] milamber, The following packages have unmet dependencies: [04:20] lazarus: Depends: lazarus-ide (>= 0.9.28.2-8ubuntu1) [04:20] E: Broken packages [04:20] edbian, yes, that will have to be stored in "my" memory banks somewhere.. [04:20] genoobie$ tape your switch maybe too if its one of those sliders. [04:20] milamber, .tar not rar [04:20] genoobie: sure, write it all down in a text file on your desktop [04:20] I don't care [04:20] I have auto complete enabled on libreoffice but what is the hotkey to actually complete the suggested word? [04:20] truefx: .tar is also a compression format that requires the files to be extracted [04:20] rkhshm: enter [04:20] truefx tyry installing laazarus-ide first [04:21] ah... thanks [04:21] rkhshm: np [04:21] L1nuxRules, i cant [04:22] L1nuxRules, The following packages have unmet dependencies: [04:22] lazarus-ide: Depends: fpc-abi-2.4.0 [04:22] E: Broken packages [04:22] THANKYOU everyone [04:22] genoobie: ur welcome [04:22] I *have* to get back to work [04:22] nite [04:22] truefx your using deb packages?

[04:23] milamber, like what ? [04:23] truefx: broken packages worries me [04:24] or try aptitude install lazarus its better at handling deps [04:24] milamber, i got fpc 2.4.2 in my system only compiler not lazarus ide [04:25] milamber, but probably new lazarus ide depends on fpc 2.4.4 so i trd to install it from deb.tar file [04:25] milamber, it is not available in repos [04:25] truefx it needs a newer version >= ( gretaer than or equal) [04:26] truefx: ok. you need to use: dpkg -i .deb to install each of the debs [04:26] L1nuxRules, what am i supposed to do install lazarus in ubuntu 10.04 [04:26] truefx: but for the sake of my sanity can you pastebin the output of: sudo apt-get check [04:26] truefx you should be able to use apt , no joy any errors?

[05:05] power* :) [05:07] share$ using unity gnome thingy ? [05:07] if you try fluxbox or even xfce you might never go back :| [05:07] share$ do you have a quick boot option in your bios [05:07] milamber, awesome advise, thanks. [05:08] gridbag: np [05:08] share your bios is probablly taking most of the time [05:08] MahaVishnu: I dont use unity. Yes I've changed settings in bios. [05:08] no it's not. [05:09] this is not a super computer [05:09] so how long does post take? [05:09] maybe 4 seconds [05:09] fair enough [05:09] if I know what "post" means :P [05:09] power on self test [05:10] use virtualbox to play with cpu and memory settings and compare ubuntu boot times [05:10] before your system boots from a boot record [05:10] ok so im running lubuntu (32-bit most current version) and i have an onboard ATI radeon HD 4200 tried the restricted drivers got a black screen and cant safeboot tried the manual FGLRX got the same thing...it is REALLY getting me mad [05:11] # Specify method used to enable concurrent init.d scripts.

[05:14] dda9: sudo fdisk -l then look for the ntfs drive [05:14] usr13: no, I meant netcat , '' nc -l '' , the Swiss army knife of networking :D [05:14] no I am just trying to locate it so I can beck up files [05:14] wadkar: oh [05:14] not install ubuntu [05:14] we know [05:14] it will need to be mounted manually if your using live cd [05:14] I never had to do this with older ubuntu's [05:15] wadkar: I'm not the one :) [05:15] it read it automatically and I could backup [05:15] I might be wrong then [05:15] dda9$ does sudo mount show it ?

I've had nothing but problems with the new GUI [05:20] even though I do because I will be backing up stuff to it [05:20] wadkar: You want to transfer a large block of files?

[05:24] hi. i am using kubuntu. how do i use dd to make my usb drive bootable? i have iso. and my usb address is /media/Abhijit [05:25] help [05:25] usr13: I'd like the "Classic" interface from 11.04 [05:25] usr13 : no , I want to tunnel telnet to a remote server which can be only accessed from my machine [05:25] Abhijit: dd will make it bootable only if the image you send to it is bootab.e [05:25] bootable [05:26] usr13, it is [05:26] usr13: xubuntu-desktop is xfce [05:26] Abhijit: Go for it then. [05:26] usr13, 'how'? [05:27] Abhijit: dd if=image.iso of=/media/disk/or/where-ever [05:27] !ssh port tunnelling [05:27] L1nuxRules: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:27] usr13, ok [05:27] Abhijit: dd if=image.iso of=/dev/sd? [05:27] !ssh tunnelling | wadkar [05:27] Abhijit: Where sd? is the partition. Like sdb1 [05:27] Abhijit: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromImgFiles [05:28] !ssh tunnelling [05:28] L1nuxRules: yeah, trying '' ssh -L '' and '' ssh -R '' and see which one is right for me [05:28] milamber, its not an ubuntu iso i am usbin kubuntu [05:28] usr13, ok [05:28] sparr: yes it is. [05:28] sparr: You are correct [05:29] Abhijit: the dd command will be the same, dd copies bits so the command will work with pretty much any relatively current deb iso [05:29] deb-based* [05:29] milamber, okies] [05:30] okies [05:30] no its not deb based iso [05:30] its rpm milamber [05:30] Abhijit: What exactly are you trying to do? [05:30] usr13, burn iso to usb [05:30] Abhijit: What the easy way? [05:30] usr13, unetbootin [05:31] but it hangs atg 23% [05:31] and now dd is hanged too [05:31] usr13: did they remove the classic gnome interface from 11.10? [05:31] Abhijit: There is no rpm version of Ubuntu. What iso are you using? Where did you get it? Why do you think it has anything to do with rpm? [05:32] !notunity | sparr [05:32] sparr: 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 [05:32] bah [05:33] Jordan_U, i never said i am buring rpm version of ubuntu. i said what the iso i am buring is rpm distro [05:33] and i am doing all this inside kubuntu [05:33] Jordan_U: thanks. hopefully the new UI will be ready in another few versions [05:33] Abhijit: Yea, that, or http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download and check "USB stick" and choose platform. [05:33] Abhijit: Then you should probably ask in that distribution's support channel. You also still haven't answered the question of what distribution it is. [05:33] Jordan_U, mandriva [05:34] Jordan_U, inside this kubuntu unetbooting hangs and dd hangs too [05:34] Abhijit: As fare as I know, there is no rpm version of Ubuntu. [05:34] usr13, thankyou [05:34] Abhijit: What do you mean "rpm version"? [05:34] nothing [05:34] Abhijit: Ok, never mind. [05:35] Abhijit: What is the exact dd command you ran? How long has it "hung"? [05:35] abhijit you do know you can use yum in ubuntu? [05:35] Jordan_U, dd if=myisopath of=/dev/sdc1 [05:35] L1nuxRules, i dont want to that is not my issue [05:35] ok [05:35] L1nuxRules: Really? [05:35] Jordan_U, dd finished burining iso [05:35] !yum [05:35] Uh, don't you mean !apt ? [05:35] nope [05:36] Anybody out there using snort [05:36] you can use any package manager as long as you only use the one otherwise your box will get messed up [05:36] L1nuxRules: Well, you can use apt and aptitude and those two won't mess you up. [05:37] Jordan_U, usr13 thank you for your help. L1nuxRules thank you for your willingness to help. the dd has finished the iso writing. let me boot my usb. brb. :-0 [05:37] Abhijit: OK, *if* mandrivia images are designed to be written to a disk using dd then they need to be written to the disk as a whole, not to a partition (the person helping you was incorrect when they told you it should be a partition). === r3v0|WhippleDip is now known as zz_r3v0|WhippleD [05:37] Jordan_U, yes i am aware of that [05:37] usr13 they share the sme DB if you wanted to used yum it would use a seperate DB [05:37] Abhijit: Then why did you run "dd if=myisopath of=/dev/sdc1"? [05:37] Abhijit: May need syslinux [05:38] jordan, becaues sdc1 is my whole usb device ist not a single partition insde my usb device [05:38] Jordan_U, ^ [05:38] Abhijit: Correction, sdb1 is a single partition [05:39] *sdc1 [05:39] Abhijit: Linux names devices sd{letter corrosponding to drive}{number corrosponding to partition}. If there is a number in the device name (at least in this case) it means it's a partition. [05:39] sdc is the device sda* is the partitions [05:39] Jordan_U, may i show you gparted screenshot for my usb drive? [05:39] sdc* [05:39] Abhijit: Sure. [05:40] L1nuxRules: sdc is the device sdc1 is the partition [05:40] ^^ thats what I sa\id? [05:40] L1nuxRules: You are correct. Yes [05:40] my keyboard needs cleaning === rudolf is now known as Guest82223 [05:40] Mine needs an operator [05:40] lol === Guest82223 is now known as Rudolfhimmler [05:41] wow [05:41] Jordan_U, http://imagebin.org/188356 [05:42] Abhijit: That confirms what we have told you (which is always true). See in the top right how it lists the drive as "sdc"? [05:43] Abhijit: And how under the "Partition" column you see "/dev/sdc1"? [05:43] yep you are right. but dd has successfully written image to disk. what shall i do not? shall just test it if it boots or what? [05:43] now* [05:43] Abhijit: You may need syslinux [05:44] Abhijit: It almost certainly won't boot. [05:44] okies [05:44] Jordan_U, any idea regarding unetbooting hanging at 23%? [05:44] hi [05:44] Abhijit: How long did you wait for it? [05:44] Jordan_U, 10mins [05:45] Abhijit: I would try waiting longer. [05:46] Jordan_U, okies. let me try [05:46] brb [05:46] Abhijit: You will need a boot image and a command something like dd if=usbboot.img of=/dev/sdc bs=512 [05:46] i'm using dpkg-checkbuilddeps to generate a list of unmet dependencies (in the format "a b | c d e"). how can i pass this to apt-get install to try to resolve [05:47] tm1 use xargs [05:47] Abhijit: But before that, you'll need to create the boot image with syslinux -s [05:48] i'm wondering about the "b | c" style dependencies in particular [05:48] tmm1: What is your end goal? [05:49] hello, im having trouble finding graphics drivres for my ubuntu machine, anyone help? [05:49] well you would need to awk or sed to do that but the basic would be dpkg-checkbuilddeps | xargs aptitude install [05:49] is that for me l1nuxrules [05:50] no zorlac [05:50] Jordan_U, yep it wont boot!!! let my try waiting longer for unetbootin! ;-) [05:50] me* [05:51] Abhijit: See: man syslinux [05:51] usr13, its about bootloader. its complicated! [05:52] Abhijit: You will need create a boot image and write it to the MBR of the device: dd if=usbboot.img of=/dev/sdc bs=512 [05:52] zorlac, did you check if there were any drivers to install from "Hardware Drivers"? [05:52] usr13, now wil try dd later. m now giving try for unetbootin first [05:52] yeah it says there are none [05:53] zorlac, the only thing next would be to go to the website of your graphics card for the driver [05:54] zorlac, that's all i can think of at least. [05:54] its a crazy onboard one. [05:54] cool cheers [05:54] how do i install a .gz file\ [05:55] Jordan_U: i want to generate an `apt-get install ...` line to execute based on a control file. using dpkg-checkbuilddeps gives me the list of unmet dependencies that need installation [05:55] you don't install .gz files [05:55] anyone know how to debug a firefox plugin i compiled on ubuntu? [05:55] zorlac, well i guess that all depends on what is in it. a .gz file is like a zip file [05:55] usr13: Unfortunately I don't think any distribution's iso images are meant to be written to a partition rather than to the device as a whole. Writing an MS style chainloading boot sector to the mbr won't change that. [05:55] you can tar -xf to unpack it [05:55] DaZ: tar zxf with .gz files [05:56] "write an iso" is quite the miswording [05:56] CoolStar, #firefox on irc.mozilla.org [05:56] tmm1: That's not really an *end* goal. If your end goal is to install any dependencies needed to build a package that can be done with "apt-get build-dep packagename". [05:56] hey [05:57] gunzip for .gz [05:57] Jordan_U, actually when this unetbooting hanged then i thought about dd and on mandriva doc page they have mentioned that we can use dd thats why i tried dd [05:57] !hey [05:57] xf works as well, iirc. [05:57] tar -zxf for tar.gz [05:57] Hi [05:57] I need to do a dist-upgrade on a Jaunty system I have only remote access to. [05:57] Is there any way to get the necessary files (apt-get doesn’t work and dist-upgrade isn’t installed) [05:57] !eol | omega42 [05:57] omega42: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [05:57] what about an rmp file [05:58] i have a problem. I was upgrading my ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04 then it hang while installing softwares. i restarted it and now it hang on the ubuntu load page please assist [05:59] Jordan_U: Abhijit Ubuntu has a "Startup Disk Creator" that is pretty easy to use. usb-creator-gtk [05:59] usr13, i know [05:59] How do I edit my mode settings for my external monitor for the correct htimings and vtimings right now they're at 1680:1050 but its not letting me do the resolution but I want it to configure it at 1024x768 I dont know the correct vtimings or htiminngs or hertz its suppose to be on for 1024X768 can anybody help? [05:59] but its for ubuntu [05:59] Does all that stuff for you. [05:59] Abhijit: That's yet another reason it's good to be a Ubuntu user. [05:59] rofl [05:59] :-( [06:00] zorlac, never heard of an rmp file. it must be an extension written for a specific program [06:00] ty [06:00] sn00p: xrandr [06:00] usr13, yes but I dont know them [06:00] sn00p: xrandr [06:01] I see [06:01] Can I create a custom config so I can use those [06:01] zorlac dont you mean rpm? [06:01] zorlac: What GPU do you have? Don't try to install anything else yet. [06:01] xrandr just tells you what your options are with current display adapter [06:02] funny thing is rmp is a file extension and so is rpm, but both are completely different :p [06:02] rpm is Linux package though [06:02] usr13, would you know why ubuntu would want to use vesa for my external display since intel graphics are onboard and is my chipset [06:02] please help icant work [06:03] a* my a key is sticking [06:03] sn00p: And if right now, you want to switch to 1024x768 just do xrandr -s 1024x768 (If it's in the list it will do it, if not, forget it_ [06:03] rpm is one of the package types used by some Linux distros [06:03] most* [06:03] pepper, all I can say for ubuntu being stuck is at the load page. is you will need probably an ubuntu live cd to fix it [06:03] some [06:04] most* more than deb anyway [06:04] sn00p: I don't know...

[06:36] clients dont need the server unless u gonna connect to them as well [06:36] i don't know abut that [06:36] What do you want to host on your server [06:37] iqbalkhan: if u dont know what kind of server and are just wanting to learn about such things just do a base install of the system and dive right in [06:38] iqbalkhan: recommend getting a spare computer to work with so u not worry about dual booting and messing with any windows installs u may be running [06:39] when u get a little more comfortable then dual booting will be easier to setup [06:41] Anybody using openvz [06:41] no but what is it ? [06:42] nvm googled it [06:43] Yay its hard to explain [06:44] currious what the diff from a vm and why not use something virtual box ? [06:44] Did you google openvz [06:44] yeah but at a glance seems similar to vm's === robbmunson is now known as notignored [06:44] virtual box is for emulating hardware not an opperating system [06:46] So im on my openvz box and i want a new server i type in a cuple of commands and bamb new server [06:46] I currently have 5 vm's with 5 diff os's on them .. not sure whats the diff ? [06:48] do they all have native hardware support or are they still going through an emulated abstaction layer ? [06:49] Openvz don't emulate a computer [06:49] if that tells you anything [06:51] just trying to picture how the isolation occurs .. how the mem boudaries are partitioned and how they share designated hardware ... all still seems like a vm abstraction [06:52] whats the advantage over vm ? [06:53] Let me put it to you this way you can run about 10 server on one gig of ram [06:53] o.o [06:53] thats interesting [06:54] And it takes about five commands [06:54] hello [06:55] are all the environment requirements for each server auto-dynamically alocated ? [06:55] i try to connect to my vpn connection in NM; after i click on my vpn connection an window appears and ask for password and has two check box save just for this session and save in keyring. anyhow after i put my pass and enter the vpn connection which up to this point trys to connect suddenly stops WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY? [06:55] you can have a whole network of linux computrs running on one box it's grate stuff [06:55] I'd say that OpenVZ is a lot more similar to a chroot or a Solaris Zone than a virtual machine. Can't you also get pretty slim virtualization with KVM? I've heard good things, but never tried. [06:56] sounds cool .. I'll need to learn more about it. === ratman is now known as ratman3 [06:57] #$@$#@ openvz is not for virtual machine's [06:58] You can install openvz on virtual box [06:58] the best I can figure is that it isolates dedicated mem areas and time shares cpu/hardware [06:59] No you do all that, thats the fun part [06:59] so each os gets X amount of time to utilize the hardware natively [06:59] HEY [06:59] (just wanting to say hi) [06:59] (carry on) [07:00] hey .. its that paul guy ... every one get him ... [07:00] For example, Setting a disk quota and allocating memory [07:00] ~~~~ stampedes towards paul [07:00] vzctl set Your_VE_ID --diskspace 10G:11G --save [07:00] For allocation memory:(Type on your HN) [07:00] slick and lightweight [07:01] vzctl set Your_VE_ID --vmguarpages $((256 * 256)) --save [07:01] please tell me which program can help me set a PPTP VPN in terminal? [07:01] why u not like openvpn ? [07:01] amin openvz [07:02] openvpn and openvz are two difrent things [07:02] yes [07:04] Linuxnut: thanks for the info , I definitely gonna be looking into this [07:04] Openvz is fun fun fun [07:05] :) [07:05] you must understand networking for it to work [07:06] Ever heard of splunk [07:06] currently building a beowolf cluster .. I have a little understanding [07:06] yeah I run splunk on my webserver [07:06] splunk rocks ! [07:07] Guys i have finish install ubuntu server 11.10, but there is no GUI just console [07:07] startx [07:07] iqbalkhan: correct, the server install does not come with a gui [07:08] Linuxnut: that won't work, no gui is installed [07:08] apt-get install gnome [07:08] no [07:08] Linuxnut: calm down, [07:08] stop rushing in [07:08] iqbalkhan: 1.) why did you use the server install 2.) what sort of gui are you looking for === rymate1234|away is now known as rymate1234 [07:09] You dont need a gui for a server anyway [07:09] y not? [07:09] Linuxnut: please stop [07:09] I run a server w/ a fluxbox gui uses like 1% resources. [07:09] ikonia: i used the server for the development project,, there is some programmer will subit the code [07:09] to the server [07:09] iqbalkhan: you know you could use the desktop install just fine [07:09] iqbalkhan: that comes with a gui and tools installed by default [07:10] *submit [07:10] iqbalkhan: is that an option for you ? [07:10] <-- recommends the desktop version [07:10] iqbalkhan: you can also install a gui on the server install, what sort of thing where you looking for [07:11] guys, but i have already install the ubuntu server [07:11] iqbalkhan: ok, what sort of gui are you looking for ? [07:11] listen to ikonia [07:11] Try not to install a gui for a while you will lern a lot, stay in the man pages write useless shell scripts [07:11] Linuxnut: he can install a gui if he wants one [07:12] This guy is trying to lern what a server is not a work station [07:12] Linuxnut: no he's not [07:12] Linuxnut: he's "using" a server install, you can use a gui, [07:12] there is no law that says "you must use the command line on a server" [07:13] iqbalkhan: if you give us an idea of what gui you want / need / expected we can help you install it [07:13] iqbalkhan: or if you tell us the goal you have of using the gui, we can also advise you [07:13] okonia: because the gui is easier than console [07:13] iqbalkhan: thats fine, is there a specific gui you want / had in mine [07:13] mind [07:13] untill he is more comfortable with it I fear command line only will be to frustrating especially since it sounds like he has a colaborative deadline [07:13] you can't program a gui [07:14] Perhaps a good compromise for our friend iqbalkhan would be a minimal install of openbox + tint2 + nitrogen + lxappearance for a simple gui. [07:14] Linuxnut: who said he's programming [07:14] That way, no bloat, and he only has to start it when he needs it. [07:14] Linuxnut: stop rushing in, [07:14] before pushing stuff on him, find out what HE wants [07:14] my internet use the ip address not dhcp [07:14] iqbalkhan: that really doesn't effect anything [07:14] and i need to configure that [07:14] to install gnome [07:14] Linuxnut: Because GUI's aren't programs, they're just blocks of carved wood that UNIX greybeards carve with magical symbols. Right? [07:14] iqbalkhan: ok, so you want gnome, [07:15] iqbalkhan: what version of ubuntu is this [07:15] okonia:11.10 [07:15] Sheesh, for GUI on an Ubuntu server, you guys are better off installing: lubuntu-desktop [07:15] ~~* turns and dusts off collection of favorite wooden symbols *~~ [07:16] :D [07:16] okonia: how to set up manual internet from console in ubuntu servr 11.10 [07:16] iqbalkhan: ok - if you use the command "sudo apt-get ubuntu-desktop" that will install gnome with the unity shell (like the ubuntu desktop) there are other options that may be better suited to the server like the "lubuntu-desktop" package [07:16] Ubuntu server is ubuntu without gnome [07:16] *server [07:16] iqbalkhan: You're better off with: sudo apt-get lubuntu-desktop <----------- LUBUNTU desktop (LXDE is faster than gnome). [07:17] iqbalkhan: To setup networking, edit /etc/network/interfaces [07:17] iqbalkhan: https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html [07:17] ~~* puts on war paint and rally's lynch mod to hunt down gnome3 dev's *~~ [07:17] iqbalkhan: that document will guide you [07:17] why are people recommending desktop environments for a server? [07:17] i know man wtf [07:17] smw: Because the person wants one? [07:17] Jordan_U: thanks, i was able to find pbuilder-satisfydepends which wraps a control file and calls `apt-get build-dep` for me [07:17] TACPILOT: I've told you 4 times over the last few days 1.) we don't need a running commentory 2.) stop with the pointless commands [07:17] he's new and needing to set up [07:17] Linuxnut: tone down the language please. [07:18] because people can do whatever they want to do. and who cares. [07:18] iqbalkhan, you may have most success asking questions on #ubuntu-server and #linux [07:18] iqbalkhan: he's fine here [07:18] ikonia, oh, he asked for it? sorry, missed that [07:18] will stop but this first I heard [07:18] Paul_E: permission denied when type /etc/network/interfaces [07:18] iqbalkhan: read the link I gave you [07:18] iqbalkhan: https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html [07:18] He's fine here, theres no OMG huge difference between the two, just without GUI really, and some server-ish apps. [07:19] iqbalkhan: https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html === user___ is now known as evildaemon [07:19] iqbalkhan: it will walk you through it [07:19] Hello. [07:19] this may be a dumb question, but does anyone know a fix for this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/868400 [07:19] ? [07:19] Ubuntu bug 868400 in xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu Precise) "Synaptics touchpad stops working" [High,Confirmed] [07:19] So, how do you open a second X session from a tty? [07:19] Like i toled you before ubuntu-server is ubuntu with out a desktop [07:19] Linuxnut: Exactly. [07:20] ikonia is being a troll and deeds a good ddosing [07:21] Linuxnut: this is your final warning - stop it [07:21] iqbalkhan$ http://paste.ubuntu.com/768705/ you need something like that in /etc/network/interfaces [07:21] Wow. [07:21] Im just trying to help this guy understand what a server is [07:21] tmm1: You're welcome. I'm glad you figured it out. [07:21] iqbalkhan$ you also need to edit /etc/resolve.conf [07:21] Linuxnut: he understand what a server is [07:21] Hello, im currently having issues with my Oneiric server going off from the net randomly (when its unactive). anyone know ANYTHING that can fix this? any way to find the problem even? THANKS. [07:21] MahaVishnu: it's resolv.conf [07:21] We still talk about DDOSing in the 21st century. Where most people use dynamic IP's? [07:21] ya that too I always forget [07:22] evildaemon: he's trying to be clever and looking silly - ignore it [07:22] iqbalkhan: just follow the guide https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html [07:22] I'd really like to figure out how to stop all output to console. [07:22] ikonia are you matt [07:23] No, he's george. [07:23] I just want ... splash screen... gnome.... splash screen.... no console text ever [07:23] Linuxnut: please keep the conversation out of the channel, just stick to Ubuntu support discussion [07:23] Anyway, how do you use a second X session? [07:23] Hello, im currently having issues with my Oneiric server going off from the net randomly (when its unactive). anyone know ANYTHING that can fix this? any way to find the problem even? I can not get through port 80 yet alone ping the server. [07:23] I even tried pointing /dev/console to /dev/null with no luck. [07:24] driiper: I wonder if your nic card is set to power off [07:24] (or .. the machine itself) [07:25] Paul_E: the computer itself is not offline, but how would i know if my NIC card would set it self to "power off"? [07:25] driiper: No idea, just speculating [07:25] Paul_E: ethtool on the card [07:25] oops === davorlozic01 is now known as MegaDavor [07:25] driiper: ethtool on the card [07:26] I'm assuming no answer means people don't know? [07:26] evildaemon: no answer to what ? [07:26] ikonia: pray to god that i actually can access it in the next hour. what will i be looking for with this tool. [07:26] driiper: wait for the machine to not be accessable, then run ethtool on the card to check it's status [07:26] "23:19 < evildaemon> So, how do you open a second X session from a tty?" [07:27] evildaemon: you can only run 1 X session on a TTY [07:27] evildaemon: Pretty much, some would google if they don't know and present an answer. [07:27] A tty. [07:27] evildaemon: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=second+x+session+from+tty [07:27] I'm asking about opening a second tty. [07:27] Oh, evildemon, [07:27] evildaemon: then startx from a second TTY === Abhijit is now known as Guest58748 [07:28] It won't let me. [07:28] switch to a different tty, login, then 'startx -- :1' [07:28] evildaemon: in what way won't let you [07:28] The DISPLAY variable isn't set. [07:28] evildaemon: then you'll need to set it [07:28] Specify it with the -- [DISPLAY] [07:28] And startx throws up telling me that I'm already running a first server/ [07:28] evildaemon: probably because you've not set DISPLAY to differentiate [07:29] evildaemon: there is a doc on this on the web, I'm sure I've seen it, hang on [07:29] http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-1963.html [07:29] Why don't you trust meeee, evildaemon?

[07:32] It worked. Thanks for the help! [07:33] I tried this info [07:33] Free kevin [07:33] ud: where you have problem? [07:33] tha problem is in update manager it shows 12.04 as an upgrade option [07:33] which is still an alfa release [07:34] ud: how are you launching update manager [07:34] alt F2 then upgrade-manager -d [07:34] ud: where in that guide that you said you tried does it say do update-manager -d [07:35] ud: -d is for development releases, which is why you are getting the development release of 12.04 [07:35] nope [07:35] ud: the guide you said you've read doesn't say do -d [07:35] oops sorry [07:36] ud: in future try really actually READING the guides that are good [07:36] ikonia: thanks man [07:38] How do i install debian on a powermac [07:38] Linuxnut: that is nothing to do with this channel [07:38] Linuxnut: this channel is for ubuntu support discussion only, try #debian [07:38] Why not [07:38] where should i get help for package not downloading from launchpad? [07:38] Linuxnut: because this channel is for ubuntu support [07:39] lol ubuntu is debian [07:39] Guest58748: what sort of package, from where ? [07:39] Linuxnut: Because this is the Ubuntu channel, not debian. However, debian has a powerpc port, so yeah...use that. [07:39] Linuxnut: no, it's not, it's based on debian [07:39] Linuxnut: use #debian [07:39] ok then how to i install ubuntu on a Powermac [07:39] ikonia: package is dejadup. site launchpad thats why i asked where to get help for launchpad? [07:40] Linuxnut: the PPC port on ubuntu is dead, it's a community maintained project only [07:40] !PPC | Linuxnut [07:40] Linuxnut: PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [07:40] Guest58748: ok, I'll re-phrase how are you trying to download it, http, from within the package manager, ftp ? what is the URL you are using [07:41] ikonia: oh sorry. i mean there is download dejadu.tar.gz option on the web page [07:41] from there [07:41] i am in firefox [07:41] Guest58748: what is the URL [07:41] ikonia: https://launchpad.net/deja-dup [07:42] Guest58748: http://launchpad.net/deja-dup/22/21.2/+download/deja-dup-21.2.tar.xz works [07:42] ikonia: ammm i am from mandriva. and the link you gave me takes me to this link http://launchpadlibrarian.net/85659723/deja-dup-21.2.tar.xz is i am from another distro makes any difference for launchpad? [07:43] Guest58748: yes, it will make a difference [07:43] Guest58748: the guys in #mandriva should be able to help you with that [07:43] ikonia: so i need to use buntu to be able to downlaod from launchpad? [07:43] ok [07:43] Guest58748: no, any os can download it [07:43] http://www.projecthugo.co.uk/ is down [07:44] ikonia: oke [07:44] Linuxnut: correct, and this is the very final time I will warn you about your contribution to this channel [07:44] One more question. can i upgrade from 10.10 to 11.10 directly? [07:45] ud: what does the link I've given you say ? [07:45] it says from 11.04 to 11.10 only [07:46] ud: ok, so there you go [07:46] :( [07:46] hello guys i have setup virtual hosts to my ubuntu server, the virtual hosts are working well but when i try to access from ip to server it shows one of the virtual hosts on my browser, how can i solve that issue ? I want to show the default page of server when i access from ip to it ? [07:47] simulation: once you setup name based virtual hosts, you can only access sites by name, if you use IP it defaults to the first virtual host [07:47] Hello, can someone help with PPTP VPN? [07:48] My VPN connect successfully, but nothing route === rymate1234 is now known as rymate1234|away [07:49] ikonia: well so i cant show the server default page by ip when i use name based virtual host ? [07:49] kemza use openvz its the best [07:49] and it's ez [07:49] simulation: because the server relies on host headers (you've turned them on) to work out which site to use, when you hit it by IP, there are no host headers, so it defaults to the first virtual site available. [07:50] ikonia: ok thanks for help [07:50] Linuxnut - openvz for VPN? [07:51] Yes ser [07:51] openvz is the way to go [07:51] Linuxnut: please explain how a virtuazation option is the way to go for setting up a VPN [07:51] Thats what im learning as we speek [07:52] hello [07:52] Openvz with snort and splunk [07:52] privet [07:52] Linuxnut: that is not a VPN [07:52] Linuxnut: that is IDS [07:52] openvz is not a ids [07:53] Linuxnut: I know it's not, but using a virtual machine, with snort and splunk is an IDS setup, not a VPN [07:53] openvz is not a vm [07:53] Linuxnut: it's a container system [07:53] Yes [07:53] Do you use it [07:53] Linuxnut: that is virtualization [07:54] Linuxnut: and again, nothing to do with VPN as the question was asked [07:54] Its not hardware virtualization [07:54] Linuxnut: I know it's not [07:54] Linuxnut: however, it is nothing to do with setting up a VPN [07:54] Hi guys, can you tell me what chmod does? And what is the octal number for chmod? I don't understand (I'm a newbie... :( ) [07:55] dfcnvt: changes the permissions on a file [07:55] dfcnvt: http://www.manpagez.com/man/1/chmod/ [07:55] chmod = change mod [07:55] Linuxnut, change mode [07:55] *mode [07:55] Oh... Okay.. what about octal? [07:56] dfcnvt, I wrote up a guide... let me look for it [07:56] dfcnvt: number [07:56] number? [07:56] dfcnvt: yes a number [07:56] dfcnvt: read the link I gave you [07:56] Okay... What am I suppose to do with a number? [07:56] dfcnvt: it explains it [07:56] dfcnvt, http://serverfault.com/questions/267983/rhel-file-permissions/267991#267991 [07:56] ...alright, I'll read it. [07:56] !permissions [07:56] An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [07:57] Thanks! [07:57] ''man chmod'' gives an overview, but maybe not in-depth enough. [07:58] My windows don't have menus any more, the menu bar just gains a close/min/max button when i hover it [07:58] help? [07:58] dfcnvt, the serverfault link gives a practical "what you need to know" [07:58] info chmod is better [07:58] What's the different between info and man? [07:59] info pages use emacs to display the info [07:59] dfcnvt: 'man' is the traditional unix documentation, 'info' is a GNU-ism. Sometimes info pages have more detail, sometimes they are the same. [07:59] ... and you navigate the pages differently [08:00] ...Alright. Thanks anyway. [08:00] info pages have hyperlinks [08:00] I'm done here... [08:00] bye [08:00] :) [08:00] bye [08:01] Why do I need "sudo" to run at boot? [08:01] to run what? [08:02] I am disabling some services at boot [08:03] share: that requires superuser privileges, so you need sudo. [08:03] Hi all... :) [08:03] prince_jammys: yes im using sudo [08:04] but do I need it at boot? if not, can I run sudo manually after boot? [08:04] share: your questions don't make sense [08:04] share: explain what you mean by "at boot" [08:05] prince_jammys: when I start Ubuntu, it loads services... [08:05] is it kosher to ask questions about lubuntu here? [08:05] acpid, lm-sensors etc [08:05] sudo.. [08:05] where are you getting that list from? [08:06] rcconf [08:06] which is Debian Runlevel configuration tool [08:07] share: afaik the 'sudo' init script just resets the sudo timestamp. [08:08] what sudo timestamp? === flack-Z is now known as flack [08:09] It's been about 1 1/2 month that I haven't been able to use my printer with ubuntu. I upgraded to 11.10 and now there are 'permission' problems. Tried everywhich way to set the printer up. nothing works. any ideas? [08:09] frankcox679: What's your question?

[08:10] I am trying to load lubuntu alternate on my laptop and it says it cannot confiqure dhcp [08:10] share: a timestamp that ensures that privileges from your prior boot get reset and that you're not able to sudo without password on reboot. [08:10] when I hook the cable to another machine no problems [08:11] frankcox679, is it a second desktop you have added? [08:12] I am trying to install Lububtu on my tablet pc -Gateway m275 1.7 gb chip 1 gig ram [08:12] when I use the "system settings" -> "printer configuration" tool the printer cannot be found.

[09:51] jasonmsp: what is it you want to run? [09:51] the frontend GUI [09:52] that means nothing to us jason [09:52] jasonmsp: nautilus will allow you to do pretty much anything [09:52] dr_willis: sorry.. I want to see my desktop like I am sitting in front of my computer at the house. [09:52] jasonmsp: what you are wanting is remote-desktop? [09:52] almoxarife: yes [09:53] jasonmsp: use vnc. or xming on windows [09:53] then the more difficult question is, can that be done from a mac? [09:53] you want a remote desktop [09:53] dr_willis: yes [09:53] morning. I'm a bit lost. Need to 'extract' the last installed .deb files from apt (ie, from the cache), any pointers how to do that? [09:53] jasonmsp: the machine you want into needs to be setup to allow you in first, then its cake [09:53] hello, i've extended a drive in vmware, how can i make linux see the change without a reboot? [09:53] vnc,freenx,xming, and others... [09:54] jasonmsp: I assume its also a desktop, not server [09:54] almoxarife: i can ssh into my machine and get a command prompt from anywhere. iptables is setup to let me in and everyone else out. [09:54] almoxarife: yes it is a desktop [09:54] stephenh: doesn't cfdisk see the change? [09:54] every page i've read thus far says a reboot is required :/ [09:54] nope [09:54] i thought partprobe would do the trick, but it hasn't.. [09:55] i would rather extend the vmdk and then extend partition [09:55] stephenh, why not just reboot? [09:55] otherwise option 2 is to add a new drive into lvm [09:55] cause sometimes you don't want to reboot... [09:55] i think you'll have to add another drive :c [09:55] there must be a way [09:55] somehow. [09:55] if windows can do it [09:55] linux must be able to [09:55] :/ [09:55] yeah but major changes people just reboot normally [09:55] stephenh: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[11:18] Tzunamii: that's not the method I see via nautilus [11:19] brb === davorlozic01 is now known as MegaDavor [11:20] heh [11:20] Is there any documentation on what effects the "persistent" parameter to the Ubn LiveCD kernel has? [11:21] I assume it's handled somwhere in the custom initrd? [11:21] Hey guys. A quick newbie question; Is USB considered a digital or analogue connection(or neither) ? === Mud is now known as Guest48619 [11:22] Perolav: USB is a pure digital connection [11:23] Tzunamii: Ok, thanks! [11:23] ok "recovering journal" is occuring every boot! [11:23] what's the problem? [11:25] share: The device is not cleanly unmounted and/or intermittent HW failure [11:25] Tzunamii: HDD is not old [11:27] "the partition is misaligned by 1024 bytes" it shows this warning for a long time but that's dude partitioning [11:28] Could be a faulty HDD from factory. However, I'd recommend booting a LiveCD/DVD/USB and mount and unmount the device/partition once and then do fsck on it. The mount/umount is to write the journal-entries before doing the fsck [11:28] due* [11:29] Check interval: 15552000 (6 months) [11:30] If the fsck don't show anything you can just do a S.M.A.R.T. check on it [11:30] Tzunamii: can I benchmark the HDD while using it? [11:31] I opened Disk Utility [11:31] "Disk is healthy" 26º [11:31] Technically, yes, but it won't show accurate numbers if it's in active use, as you might understand. Also, if it's semi-faulty I don't recommend 'aggrevating' it more than necessary === footer is now known as hello_k [11:32] Tzunamii: I have the disk for over a year, I dont notice any problems with it [11:32] maybe the problem is Ubuntu? It shutdowns very quickly. [11:32] When it comes to mechanical things like HDDs your prior experiences doesn't apply as it can go semi-faulty at any time [11:33] Just boot a LiveCD and check it out [11:33] Hey! I have a folder with a lot of files in it (300k [11:33] whoops sorry accidentally hit the enter key [11:33] Tzunamii: "recovering journal" appears every boot but only for 2 seconds and then boot proceeds normally. and it's always /dev/sda7 = /home partition misaligned by 1024 bytes [11:34] I have a folder with a lot of files in it (300k+) and want to delete all of them. rm tells me /usr/bin/rm: Too many arguments. What can I do? [11:34] share: Mount it/unmount it several times and see if it produces and error and do a fsck when you're at it for good measure [11:34] :p [11:34] Tzunamii: my cd drive is broken hehe [11:34] Use a USB stick then [11:34] I would have to format it === tfilipczuk is now known as makaka === Alex`aw is now known as BaNz [11:35] share: May I suggest you read this thread for more information about your specific error message http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1635018 The last entry on the first page. [11:36] mine is western digital [11:37] and yeah it uses advanced format. [11:37] but I do not use windows [11:37] and I read somewhere Ubuntu supported advanced formatting [11:38] "since Linux partitioning tools have been changing rapidly over the past year on how they handle alignment." [11:38] Is there any documentation on what effects the "persistent" parameter to the Ubn LiveCD kernel has? [11:39] Tzunamii: when I partitioned the drive I didn't use random numbers I calculated them and now shows that warning [11:41] KNUBBIG - open a terminal change to the directory you want to waste and type rm . [11:41] share: I always manually set the start of the blocks when it comes to the new Advanced Format HDDs. https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-4kb-sector-disks/index.html?ca=dgr-lnxw074KB-Disksdth-LX and http://linuxconfig.org/linux-wd-ears-advanced-format [11:41] RaTTuS: wouldn't that result in the same error message? [11:42] KNUBBIG try it and see ... then try - rm a* [11:42] RaTTuS: thanks, I'll try. The thing with the * also sometimes yields the same error message, tried that already :) [11:42] also look at xargs [11:43] KNUBBIG narrow it down more then ... ;-p [11:43] Tzunamii: thats advanced [11:43] You don't need to worry about it; it is handled automatically. [11:44] It wasn't handled automagically when I bought my first one [11:44] when was that? [11:44] RaTTuS: ;p these are timestamps with milliseconds. Narrowing down will take more time than formatting and recreating everything ;p [11:44] I bought mine in 2010 [11:44] oh man, I can't remember. I got a WD EARS when it just came out [11:45] Now you have to excuse me. Time to throw away cash [11:45] Tzunamii: I have the same disk [11:45] KNUBBIG - you may be able to rm -fr direcotry name succesfully [11:45] don't you recycle? lol [11:46] RaTTuS: I'll try that [11:46] thansk [11:47] Hi.

[11:50] raidgh0st, yes but the problem is that for a lot of services, that does not work anymore [11:51] Than you updated me aboute that. Didnt know that. [11:51] How do i run as script as a different user? [11:51] script.sh [11:51] better yet [11:51] zabomber: su -c ./script.sh [11:51] how do i get the script to run as user "user44" at system start? [11:52] zabomber, su user44 -c ./script.sh [11:52] ta you genius [11:52] how do i compile a c program [11:52] kayson, use gcc [11:52] i did [11:52] I think that would be gcc file.c [11:53] and then ./a.out to execute it [11:53] when i run the program it tells me access denied [11:53] kayson: ''gcc -o hello hello.c'' and to run it: ''./hello'' [11:53] kayson: chmod +x a.out [11:53] ./hello [11:53] kayson, did you specify the output file using the -o option ? [11:53] yeah [11:54] KNUBBIG uh... so "user44" cannot login because its a security risk... i usually su to root than su to "user44" than run the start script.... can i automate this? [11:54] hi. I looking for gentoo theme/skin for irssi. can someone help me please? [11:54] like gcc -o hello.c hello [11:54] kayson, would the file by any chance be on a fat32 partition ?

[11:55] glebihan: Any experience with ati radeon cards? [11:55] zabomber: you could put a script in init.d that executes su web44 -c ./script.sh [11:55] but I may be wrong there [11:55] I'd use sudo rather than su [11:55] it might be [11:55] raidgh0st, well I have one, but not sure I can say I have experience with those... [11:55] but i see the file using ls [11:56] raidgh0st: radeon cards under linux suck. === Nicolus is now known as c_nick [11:56] kayson: The syntax is gcc -o outfile infile [11:56] KNUBBIG: because?

[11:57] raidgh0st: the open source drivers work shitty. The ones under additional drivers work well until you want to use gnome-shell and the catalyst drivers sometimes work and sometimes don't :p [11:57] kayson: Oh access denied. It's possible the filesystem doesn't allow executing files. [11:58] and their installation process is complete bull**** [11:58] KNUBBIG: tone it down please, if you have to start it - don't say it [11:58] um not sure if its Fat32 or not [11:58] KNUBBIG: I agree on that the open source drivers SUCks bigtime. it gives a screen picture. but when you want to play games like tuxracer and other 3d games it goes PIcture by picture [11:58] no acceleration at all. [11:58] Geirha how do i fix dat? [11:58] kayson, is it on your main linux drive ?? [11:58] maybe he missing gcc [11:58] kayson: Try it in your homedir. That should be an ext4 filesystem [11:59] no its not... its another partion [11:59] ikonia: sorry, got upset because I had to remake my laptop about five times because of these drivers :) [11:59] kayson, then that's probably it, try in your home dir and see if it works [11:59] :) lemmi try === pingsut is now known as pingsut_away [12:04] It works [12:05] how can i compile from my other partition [12:06] compile c from my other partition??

[12:39] paulsomebody: I'm afraid not, I've not had problems with screen resolutions for a long time, it might be worth checking you've got the correct video driver installed first [12:39] DJones: Yes, I think I do. [12:39] DJones, there ? [12:40] harsh343: As far as I know, dreamweaver is windows only software, the only way would be using wine or running a windows install inside a virtual machine [12:40] hi, how do I get old fashioned scroll widgets to come back?

[12:42] :) [12:42] shomon: I'm not aware of any configuration that can be easily tweaked.

[15:33] lahwran: yes, sorry for repitition, just wanted to make sure you recieved my answer [15:33] webnet I have 10.04 and 11.10 . I really like 10.04 but no so much 11.10 [15:34] webnet is 10.10 more user friendly then 10.04? [15:34] I have also browsed the forums and still have no resolution [15:34] ubottu i know what you mean but like from users view point, people who dont program for a living id like to know their opinion [15:34] Arizona_Bay: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:34] ill try to ask the bot [15:34] oh shit [15:34] lol [15:35] !swearing | arand [15:35] Arizona_Bay: 10.10 is about the same usability as 10.04 in my opinion [15:35] well he seems more lifelike than me [15:35] !swear [15:35] Hello. is it possible to make grub execute a bash file? [15:35] i've got the following C-Program: http://pastebin.com/fNTzJUqT . It prints out the current idle time of the system in ms and works fine when called from the command line or from a script from the command line. However if that same script is executed as upstart job, a segfault occurs. Any hints? [15:36] jost: is it running before X starts? [15:36] maybe - which runlevel does x start in? [15:36] why did they remove the desktop button in ubuntu 11.10 lol ill try to learn a shortcut for that [15:36] jost: shouldn't really think in terms of runlevels anymore with upstarct [15:36] Arizona_Bay, yeah i cant stand 11.10 or 11.04 not because they are bad but because they have terrible interfaces... [15:37] not again... [15:37] you either get bloatware unity or buggy A** gnome 3 haha [15:37] hello everybody :) [15:37] hi inggik [15:37] webnet ... ur right... like the side bar isnt very practical how it dissapears.. i cant bring it whenever i want . sometimes i have to hover over the orange button a good couple of seconds to get it back [15:37] webnet, who uses unity on 11.04? everyne i know uses gnome2 on 11.04 [15:37] hmmm, they say that it is possible to write on cds with this marker http://www.cultpens.com/acatalog/Faber-Castell-Multimark-1525-Permanent-Marker-Medium.html can I believe them?

[15:38] Neutrosider, the people who dont know any better [15:38] can i get RDp setup on 11.10 [15:38] sorry for noob question [15:38] :D [15:38] inggik please say 'beginner', not 'noob' [15:39] does anyone know how to make grub entrys to execute bash scripts? [15:39] thanks for the correction MonkeyDust [15:39] Neutrosider: what do you want to accomplish? [15:40] jrib, i have an 11.04 boot script and i want to have 2 entries. one booting with nvidia driver, the other one with nouveau. so i thought i make a bash srkip that copys a yorg.conf file i made before [15:41] *11.04 boot stick [15:41] Neutrosider & Arizona_Bay here is what i am thinking of doing. taking the 11.04 1nd 11.10 and leaving them the same, just stripping all interface from it and loading on Gnome2. have it be like kubuntu or xubuntu be like gubuntu or something. lol. [15:41] *xorg.conf [15:41] I have virtual box and DSL installed in there, so I wanna remote my main desktop (ubuntu), how do i get that :D [15:41] Neutrosider: if you look at the gdm and lightdm init scripts, they check the kernel line for the word "text". You could do something like that [15:42] webnet, 11.04 has gonme2 preinstalled. no need to change anything [15:42] jrib, i have no clue about the gdm boot script, where can i find it? and how would it recognize what driver i want to use? [15:42] webnet wooow i didnt even know u could do that [15:43] Neutrosider, sweet. i thaough both had gnome 3. cool. well im just thinking of doing it for future releases. perhaps fork gnome 2 and continue to dev it and lay it onto future ubuntu versions. I personally dont like gnome 3 either. they about screwed up everything i liked about 2 [15:44] why is Linux Mint the best for laptops? [15:44] Neutrosider: I don't have time to walk you through it at the moment, sorry. If you read and understand how the lightdm init script (lightdm is default so just read that) stops itself from starting by checking if "text" was passed on the kernel line in grub, you should see how you can accomplish what you asked [15:44] Ive got 10.04 on my laptop and im loving it [15:44] anyone have any production experience with automating virtual environments? [15:45] Neutrosider: I assume you can just pass your own words, like "usenvidia" or whatever [15:45] Arizona_Bay, mint isnt necessarily... it all depends on what you are looking for in a distro that decides which is pest for a putpose. [15:45] jrib, im using 11.04 at the boot stick im talking about, so its gdm, not lightdm, but thanks ^^ [15:45] *puropse [15:45] webnet :P regular usage and no bugs or glitches. this is what i look for [15:45] but i read somewhere that mint is the best and i was wondering why [15:46] Arizona_Bay: Ask them. We do not support Mint in this channel. === Taftse is now known as Taftse|Train [15:46] Pici ohhhhhhh trueee this is ubuntu not linux o.o [15:46] then i would always recommend that you stay at least 1 version behind the release. they are on 11.10 so use 11.04 then when 12.04 comes out move up to 11.10 so that by then most of the bugs are worked out :) [15:46] Arizona_Bay, ^^ [15:47] people use your names interchangeably that at the end in ur head Ubuntu = Linux [15:47] and vis versa :P [15:47] all linux distros aare ubuntu distros [15:47] ^ ? [15:47] its a noob joke [15:47] Arizona_Bay your not in the right channel for that kind of chat [15:48] xD [15:48] you're* [15:48] im sorry ; _ ; [15:48] webnet: how do i go back then?

[15:53] I'm thinking 10 is faster than 11 [15:53] jost: don't know then [15:53] tp43 depends on the window manager, i guess [15:53] jrib: anyway, thanks for the help [15:53] is it easy to install Gnome 3?

[15:54] sudipta: you might use tools like sysv-rc-conf to do that [15:54] ubuntu [15:55] sudipta: read the scripts to see if there is some configuration file they check. If not, then disable the script (see http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/ for upstart scripts and use sysv-rc-conf if the service is not an upstart script) [15:55] salty, well?

[16:27] coreyo, can you get the source ; i can help to compile it then [16:27] webnet: Thanks, but I need to know [16:27] Exxon, hmm.... no, I'm basically doing the --buildpkg option and having it compile everything for my local machine [16:28] Exxon, having it install the default way definitely never worked [16:28] ManDay, let me open aptitude real quich and take a looksee [16:28] gimme a sec [16:28] You got a minute ;p [16:28] Okey guys i messed up (linux newbie) i just did a 'usermod -G vboxusers ' and now when i do 'sudo' i get " is not in the sudoers file.

[16:31] Exxon, I won't do that without a fight. I must say that I am thoroughly disappointed with ubuntu's last 2 releases. This last one especially is nearly unusable out of the box.

[16:32] coreyo, catalyst drivers also don't work don't keep a icon in the menu list and does nothing [16:32] webnet: I found a setting "automatically upgrate installed packages" in the preferences [16:32] Exxon, I can't change the video card in my laptop :( [16:33] I guess that will do. Wouldn't hurt to know the specific command which does that, though [16:33] ManDay, what happens when you select it? [16:33] webnet: Wait a second [16:33] how do I get the vbox control ? when I click on vbox icon from dash it only displays the running vm [16:33] i cant get my aptitude gui working. odly. i was screwing with dependencies the other day and i think i deleted something [16:33] hahahaha === Jo is now known as Owen [16:34] webnet: nothing.

[16:34] coreyo, there is no need to drift..at present there is no support.. i made my self clear before ..sorry (many do suffer of the stupid ati) [16:34] No, impossible, [16:35] Unless the persistent LiveUSB actually messes with the squashfs - but it does not, right?! [16:35] Exxon, many people seem to have gotten it working, though I'm not sure with my specific chipset [16:35] ok. hmm.you are using the latest version of aptitude package manager right? [16:35] ManDay, ^^ [16:35] webnet: 0.4.11.11 [16:35] 10.04 lts === Owen is now known as Vincent [16:36] coreyo, yes there is a way get the source and then compile but it will be like rocket science === Vincent is now known as Guest53569 [16:37] ok ManDay cool. hold on im going to try to fix mine real quick. give me a second [16:37] Hi everyone, i have a problem with the sound..can anyone help me please ?

[16:37] webnet: hold on [16:37] though it had its flaws .... still don't know how much of it was ATI and how much of it was gnome3 [16:37] webnet: apt-get upgrade also doesn't do anything!

[16:38] webnet: FYI I'm still in a chroot [16:38] webnet: 1) I had problems with sounds in apps, like skype. 2) I uninstalled pulseaudio and it fixed. I heard sounds from skype. 3) i turned off my computer and now no sound at all. It says that there are sound devices [16:38] coreyo, still today i have seen laptop shipped with ati nonsense selling for cheap but i always recomment friends beware of it [16:39] ManDay, run apt-get update first [16:39] webnet: I already did - 10 times ... [16:39] ManDay, ok... [16:39] It returns with Hit ... Ign ... Hit ... etc [16:39] ok. good ^^ [16:40] Amon-Ra, ok so have you chacked that your audio settings are un muted? === Guest9901 is now known as William_x [16:40] Amon-Ra, alsamixer [16:40] Exxon, it's a shame because amd desktop hardware is now killing nvidia, but their software support just hasn't gotten any better [16:40] webnet: yes, i go to sound and i see that there is not device (when i removed pulseaudio it wasysaying default device) now nothing === Nex4 is now known as Xen4 [16:40] Ok, i've digged more into the problem. The program http://pastebin.com/NM3ebBA4 terminates with a segfault when run as an upstart job, but runs fine from a terminal. That XOpenDisplay(":0.0") returns NULL. Why is that? The job is starting when the xserver is up and running. [16:40] Exxon, since the days of standalone ATI, it has always been that way === William_x is now known as William0 [16:40] Exxon: u mean to install alsamixer?

[16:42] coreyo, getting of-topic...please search the source indeed [16:42] http://iekeira.notlong.com [16:42] Does anyone have an idea why aptitude (run within a non-ubuntu-made-ubuntu-chroot) does return with "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not apgraded" when being called with "upgrade" ? [16:42] Amon-Ra, type it in the terminal and do the settings [16:43] Why does wine put four separate 'wine core exe' entries in my right-click 'open with' menu? How can I remove them? [16:43] when I click on the icon on dash it only displays running session. how do I start a new session? [16:43] http://iekeira.notlong.com [16:43] ManDay: nothing to upgrade, all up-to-date === Guest61698 is now known as William0 [16:43] Does anyone know how to get the CTXFI module working properly under 11.10 (with a Creative Titanium HD)? [16:43] http://iekeira.notlong.com [16:43] llutz: Impossible. The Chroot is the extracted sqashfs of the 10.04 LTS LiveCD [16:43] terran4000, does the module panic [16:43] Jahcros: I don't know. [16:43] 9 I think. [16:44] terran4000: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting [16:44] ManDay: in that case, you haven't updated package-cache before. check sources.list(s) [16:44] In dmesg, it gives the usual: "ctxfi: Something wrong!!! [16:44] " [16:44] Aelingil: Any luck finding a way to change the background color of the unity launcher? [16:44] StepNjump, encrypting what? files text? music? [16:44] diatomaceous, i ran into errors loading the 11.10 on my computer. i'm trying to get it loaded back up to run through it again. [16:45] terran4000: creative cards can be a real pain, sometimes they need firmware files. Totally not worthe effort [16:45] Exxon, I used to have this issue solved in 11.04 and under. Sadly the alsa-dev ppa does go up to 11.10 not the 3.x kernel. [16:45] Aelingil: Thanks man, glad to hear it :) [16:45] llutz: What should I check for? Looks normal [16:45] diatomaceous offtopic: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Ubuntu-12-04-LTS-Features-Unity-Configuration-Tool-239928.shtml [16:45] ActionParsnip, the issue is the alsa driver + kernel module :( [16:45] Exxon: I see the panel, and i see the two sound cards there. I choose the one i use but it doesn't work. At system settings -> sounds ->hardware there is no device.. [16:45] terran4000: the link I gave may help [16:45] ManDay: what's "normal"? online-sources, cd-rom sources? [16:45] MonkeyDust, thanks [16:45] Sorry Jahcros, I'm using 10.04 LTS. [16:46] MonkeyDust: I have myunity installed - it doesnt' provide a way to change the color, unfortunately :( [16:46] it lists, among otherss deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid main restricted llutz [16:46] works fine with patched alsa drivers. I was trying to go through this but I have no clue how to work the patches nor git and when I tried all it told me was that the patching failed :-/ http://www.intervigil.net/sound-blaster-x-fi-titanium-hd-on-ubuntu-1110 [16:46] ManDay: sudo aptitude update [16:46] bbiab [16:46] llutz: already did. [16:46] doritoDan: Ok hmm the login screen shouldn't look that bad, I would recommend making sure you have the most up to date graphics drivers and give that shot [16:46] !patch | terran4000 [16:46] terran4000: Patches are files describing the changes in code to achieve some results. There are a number of ways these can be produced, but https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToFix and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/PatchSystems may provide some useful guidelines. [16:46] sorry webnet, encrypt all my files because this goes on an external hard drive that I store off site [16:46] llutz: returns with Hit ... Ign... Hit ... and so forth [16:46] ManDay: then you did something wrong [16:47] llutz: With what? === n970873_ is now known as jellow [16:47] StepNjump, so encrypt your backups? [16:47] yes webnet [16:47] ManDay: idk what. you say you are on a fresh 10.04, updated package-cache and there are no updates? there has to be something wrong [16:48] terran4000: could make life easier and get a different (non-creative) card [16:48] I know there are others but none that have so many options as bit webnet [16:48] Jahcros: I'm pretty sure I updated to the latest drivers the last time I used it. [16:48] Ok StepNjump, first of all when back in time backs up, does it back up to a single file? [16:48] ActionParsnip, I don't have a spare $100 for another card ;) [16:48] But I'll try it again now. :) [16:48] Thanks. [16:48] terran4000: what do you use in the way of sound? [16:48] llutz: So much is obvious. [16:48] webnet, no it uses rsync so it creates the same structure === pingsut is now known as pingsut_zzZZ [16:49] llutz: I don't think that I upgraded in the LiveUSB persistent mode did affect the squashfs, could it possibly have? [16:49] !away > pingsut_zzZZ [16:49] pingsut_zzZZ, please see my private message [16:49] doritoDan: do you get any errors during boot? [16:49] Amon-Ra, lspci -v please paste out put to www.pastebin.org and give us a link [16:50] Jahcros: Not that I can see. :/ [16:50] Exxon: could use: lspci -v | pastebinit [16:50] ManDay: ls -l /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin [16:50] ActionParsnip, digital out, external EQ and some other fun jazz to get sound in the places I want it [16:50] ActionParsnip, :) [16:50] terran4000: my onboard sound doues digital out, its nothing fancy now.. [16:50] ActionParsnip, mine doesn't :) [16:50] 2011-12-13 [16:51] llutz: ^ [16:51] or what did you want to know? [16:51] 5250400 is the size [16:51] date / time ManDay [16:51] ActionParsnip, hence my want/need for an external card and not wanting to spend more monies [16:51] terran4000: http://www.ciao.co.uk/Sweex_7_1_PCI_Sound_Card_with_Digital_Out__6876814 15 quid [16:51] /j #alsa [16:51] er [16:52] Exxon: http://pastebin.com/3WFTZbAj [16:52] llutz: jeez [16:52] hello. can I found anywhere dooble fresh debs? [16:52] can that possibly be?! [16:52] ActionParsnip, sexy. Though again, I dont' want to spend the money on something I know that works but just needs some fine-tuning [16:52] terran4000: creative refuse to support Linux too which is even more reason to avoid them, you can spend lots of time making these things work [16:52] StepNjump, ohhhh. ok that is a bit of a pain. lol. i back up to a large tarball and then i encrypt it using a java bean i compiled [16:52] doritoDan: well then unless you've modded the login gui in some way, or this is just how it's always appeared and your on older hardware your likely going to need someone else in the channles input cause i'm running out of ideas fast. [16:53] ActionParsnip, Time I have, money to throw at something which works just needs patched Alsa ... that I don't have. [16:53] ManDay: what? 5MB? mine is 20M [16:53] terran4000: time to learn how to patch then [16:53] Jahcros: Well, it's been like this since I installed it. When I login however, it resumes to highres. [16:53] It's just lowres at the login screen. [16:53] :/ [16:53] llutz: what can I say... [16:53] Yes, 5.1 Megs [16:54] ManDay: sry no idea whats wrong with your setup [16:54] but no, that timestamp misled me. it was the wrong timezone [16:54] doritoDan: have you played with your video options in your bios? [16:54] that squashfs was not updated by the persistent liveUSB [16:54] ls [16:54] whoops sorry all mt [16:55] Jahcros: Nope. [16:55] It's virtualized though. [16:55] In VMware. [16:55] I somehow disabled lightdm at startup, what's the command to re-enable it? [16:55] If that gives you any dieas. [16:55] ideas* [16:55] Amon-Ra, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=963027 [16:56] coreyo: sudo apt-get --reinstall install lightdm may do it === ampelbein_ is now known as Ampelbein [16:56] Exxon: I want to use the onboard card, i don't use the soundblaster (i don't remember why, but it is like that for years) === tommyvyo_ is now known as tommyvyo [16:57] doritoDan: hmmmm not really, sorry i'm fresh out of good idea's at this point, it's got to be something with the VM not loading the graphics drivers before the login screen. === lucho is now known as luchomax [16:57] Amon-Ra, that is what on board silly [16:57] doritoDan: have you tried in #vmware ? [16:57] hi, mat i have little help about aircrack-ng in ubuntu?:) [16:58] hi people [16:58] i need some help with ubuntu one in ubuntu 11.10 [16:58] ActionParsnip: Nope. [16:58] Jahcros: Alright. Thanks for trying pal. [16:58] llutz: which is the current kernel for x64 systems of ubuntu? [16:58] Hi there . Where to set the brightness in ubuntu 11.10 ? system -> seems to offer almost no options. [16:58] ActionParsnip: I'll give it a shot, but it feels like an Ubuntu issue. :/ [16:58] ManDay: which release? [16:59] doritoDan: its worth an ask [16:59] Yeah. [16:59] But [16:59] They're assholes. [16:59] 10.04 lts [16:59] doritoDan: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[17:00] installed size is 32kb? [17:00] ManDay: yes, sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [17:01] ManDay: it's a metapackage so is very small [17:01] ActionParsnip: dist-upgrade would move to 11.10, no? [17:01] i need ot stay on 1 [17:01] ManDay: no [17:01] lucid === miguel is now known as Guest38256 [17:01] ManDay: you will stay on lucid [17:01] when I goto "about Gnome" it says version 2 [17:01] ActionParsnip: So you know why apt-get upgrade wont upgrade anything? === davorlozic01 is now known as MegaDavor [17:01] Hi all. :) [17:01] ManDay: sudo apt-get update first [17:01] ActionParsnip: already did [17:02] still doesn't upgrade anything [17:02] apt-get dist-upgrade :) [17:02] And when I try to install extensions.gnome.org, it says your gnome is old [17:02] And sudo, ofc. :) [17:02] ManDay: apt-cache policy linux-image-generic [17:02] Pleaaaaaaaaaaase I have some troubles with "Ubuntu One" [17:02] can anyone help me?

[17:03] llutz: candiate and installed are the same. there is a version 2.6.32.33.39 0 marked with *** though [17:03] MegaDavor: ActionParsnip dist-upgrade didn't do anything either [17:03] Hmm.. [17:03] ManDay: try: http://paste.ubuntu.com/769156/ [17:03] ManDay: if there is no newer candidate, theres nothing to upgrade. [17:03] Try apt-get clean all [17:03] And then apt-get update [17:03] And then apt-get dist-upgrade [17:03] llutz: but why is there not?! there is [17:03] is it possible to upgrade gnome to 3? === cyprox_ is now known as cyprox [17:05] mori, there is different distro for all and more of the stuff..download that..instead [17:05] ActionParsnip: what does it do? [17:05] tp43: GNOME 3 is in Ubuntu repos, depending on what version you're on [17:05] MegaDavor: nothing [17:06] I have Ubuntu 11.10, and gnome-shell [17:06] :( [17:06] ManDay: cleans out all the known packages and downloads fresh lists, may make the new version come down [17:06] tp43: gnome-shell is GNOME 3 [17:06] tp43: Unity is GNOME 3 with a custom shell [17:06] tp43: Oneiric uses Gnome3 by default [17:06] thanks, figured out the issue... it was not OS related [17:06] I told him how to do that and that doesn't solve the problem. [17:07] edgarville, thats what I thought, but when I go accessories, about gnome, it shows gnome 2.31 [17:07] And when I go to the extensions.gnome.org, it says I need to upgrade to use those extensions [17:07] tp43: what does cat /etc/issue say? [17:08] edgarville, ubuntu 11.10 [17:08] llutz: what should apt-cache policy return?

[17:09] I've got a problem with my ubuntu netbook remix I just put on my USB with Unetbootin. For some reason when I boot up my netbook, the screen says this: "SYSLINUX ........." and the remix installation does not boot from there. It just stays on that screen? [17:09] exxen my pc shuttes down and it doesnt open now.. [17:09] tp43: can you run: sudo apt-get install pastebinit; clear; dpkg -l | grep gnome | pastebinit what is output? [17:09] llutz: So that means my cache is not correct, right? [17:09] junka: there is no netbook remix now [17:09] What? [17:09] But I downloaded it. [17:09] ManDay: as i said: if there is no newer candidate, theres nothing to upgrade. so you have to findout WHY there are no updates available [17:09] junka: did you MD5 test the ISO you put on the USB device? [17:10] no this always happens when I download any linux ISO, it just comes up with SYSLINUX on my netbook. ANY linux iso. [17:10] llutz: But there SHOULD be an newer candidate than 2.6.32.33.39 right?! [17:10] junka: netbook remix was last in Lucid, did you download lucid|10.04? [17:10] My friend showed me this quick fix for it before but I don't remember what it was. [17:10] I just need to get the SYSLINUX to go away and just boot the OS. [17:10] junka: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [17:10] is there some ppa for the latest kernel? [17:11] what program can i use to join a Windows Network via VPN? [17:11] ManDay: as ActionParsnip showed you, linux-image-generic should have a candidate "2.6.32.36.42" [17:11] varikonniemi: there is but its not supported here if you get issues [17:11] Ed_Money: network manager supports vpn [17:11] i can choose the old kernel at bootup? [17:11] kansanturvamsiikikommissio [17:11] i have issues now, so i was hoping it could fix it [17:11] llutz: That's what I meant. So as I said: My local information about the newest version is wrong, right? [17:11] varikonniemi: sure, hold shift at boot as usual [17:11] yes [17:11] ManDay: it seem to be. did you do what ActionParsnip pasted? [17:12] llutz: Not yet, I'd rather find out the problem and solve it than run a general wipe [17:12] There seems to be somethign fundamentally wrong [17:13] varikonniemi: check yo PMs :) [17:13] After I installed gnome shell, three new option showed up when I login, gnome, gnome(classic) and gnome (classic no effects), I am using gnome [17:13] tp43: if you press ALT+F2 and run: gnome-shell --replace is it ok? [17:13] ubuntu-10.10-netbook-i386.iso: ok [17:14] So...why does "SYSLINUX" keep coming up on my screen? The ISO appears to be fine.

[17:15] junka: looks like they kept it in maverick too. [17:15] when I try to wget it I get some OpenID html nonsense [17:15] Question: If I create bootable USB stick on MacOSX (using instructions on download page), will that also work to boot on a PC?

[17:23] htmlinprogress: desktop environment [17:24] htmlinprogress: openbox can run on its own, so makes the desktop lighter [17:24] openbox... i3 anyone? :D [17:25] Pici: that command didn't work (dpkg - didnt recognise the command) [17:25] do you know any easy to follow frugal install tutorial of puppy? Exxon & ActionParsnip & Tech-1 [17:25] theadmin: sure why not :), frees up resources [17:26] super789: puppy isn't supported here, there is #puppylinux and numerous guides online [17:26] super789: We don't support puppy here [17:26] ok thanks for the hint [17:26] super789, try minimum install.....

[17:30] incorrect: The "Startup Apps" tool does it [17:30] ActionParsnip, so this thing is open box? [17:31] diatomaceous, Do you have CompizConfig Settings Manager installed? You can change the "Launch Bar" transparency and color from there. [17:31] theadmin, is that something i need to apt-get? [17:32] Aelingil: Under which section? [17:32] incorrect: Um, no, it's somewhere around the menu... The command is "gnome-session-properties" if I recall right [17:32] htmlinprogress: it can be [17:32] thanks theadmin [17:32] ActionParsnip, so this thing is open box? what does it do ? and whats it for? [17:33] incorrect, only matter of few clicks i hope you can manage that..automatically i don't think it does [17:33] htmlinprogress: it manages the windows of applications you draw and gives an app menu on right click, you can load docks and stuff if you need but openbox is pretty self contained [17:35] ok lets see if that works [17:35] I'm looking it up right now, hold on. [17:35] Any suggestions what could be wrong when i get "There is a problem with the configuration server. (/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256)" when using Xvnc? [17:36] next question, how can i disable the extra battery and sound applets from loading in the notification applet [17:37] htmlinprogress: A Window Manager is the tool which allows you to manage windows, it also normally draws at least some window borders. This, for example, is i3: http://i.imm.io/cUf1.png and this is xfwm in XFCE: http://i.imm.io/cUeP.png [17:38] incorrect: I believe it is started by /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-sound-applet.desktop, if you copy it to ~/.config/autostart and remove the NoDisplay=true you can configure it with gnome-session-properties [17:38] ntr0py: sudo chmod chmod 1777 /tmp [17:38] Can someone help me create a partition and mount it?

[17:57] BusyBox: then you have no luck with me :-/ [17:57] tp43: It can run as a standalone window manager (doesn't work well though) but [17:57] hehe [17:57] np ManDay , good day, bb [17:58] theadmin, how to login to compiz? [17:58] tp43: Basically runs with everything, but hey, XFCE is great, stay with it :) PM me if you don't mind, btw [17:58] theadmin: what is apt-file? [17:59] Hi.

[18:19] but I just want to get rid of this stupid SYSLINUX message when I boot my netbook so I can install UBUNTU in one peace! [18:19] It just hangs there when I boot the USB..lol wtf?

Did so, but I still got the SYSLINUX message............... [18:22] and you dont seem to have mountded dev either llutz [18:22] Gounst_, is that where the cd stalls, then you wait til the ubuntu options page appears [18:22] ManDay: right [18:22] weird... ok, let me try without dev [18:22] BluesKaj, yes that's where the usb stalls, and the ubuntu options page never appears. [18:22] it just stays stuck on the SYSLINUX screen.

It works now [18:23] read above , Gounst_ === Guest95751 is now known as digital_power [18:23] What witchcraft is that [18:24] llutz: Let me try to figure out what exactly is the cause for that === bilal is now known as Guest1282 [18:24] Perhaps it's the fact that I did NOT mount dev?! === Guest1282 is now known as bil21al [18:24] ManDay: idk but i doubt that [18:24] gounst: as Kaj sais. Appears to me that it dousn't find an initrd. [18:24] Oh no, you see, I've all ready prepared the UBUNTU 11.04 ISO with 3 different USB creators, all resulting in the "SYSLINUX" message.

Still got the SYSLINUX message. [18:27] Gounst_: did you verify the iso? [18:27] Yeah [18:27] MD5checksum'd, it's also the one from the main ubuntu page [18:27] llutz: Crap, seems like I can't reproduce it once it has succesfully fetched the lists [18:27] BlueEagle, I'm not much on usb installs , since I have no experience with them , I'm guessing he didn't prepare the usb correctly [18:27] Gounst_: and which version are you trying to install [18:27] 11.04 [18:28] It's my feeling I need a different version of syslinux attached to the USB installer, no idea what version I need though. [18:28] Gounst_: you dont have to explain yourself to me or anything, but is there a reason why not 11.10 [18:28] ManDay: Murphy [18:28] exit [18:28] If I do grub-install of a 10.04 disk and try to write it to a external USB drive, will I be able to select 'boot to USB' in my bios (it supports it) and then use grub to boot ubuntu? [18:28] Dammit! XD what is the exit command? [18:28] llutz: I guess it's the cp -a - that's about the only thing I haven't changed [18:28] Oh I'm sorry, it's 11.10, not 11.04 [18:28] I'd use super grub2 disk but I don't have any flash drives that are small and unused, and for some reason my laptop hates booting linux from CD (but it works with windows fine) [18:28] ManDay: how did you copy?

It was cp -R , of course [18:30] ManDay: still permission-thingy maybe === Mud is now known as Guest41410 [18:30] I'll try it after reboot [18:30] I have already installed ubuntu [18:30] Do I need to install a diff version of syslinux perhaps to get past this SYSLINUX message? [18:30] Got to go now, before bad things happen [18:30] ManDay: good luck, i'll grab some food [18:30] onto an external hard drive. Partitions in order: NTFS - ext3 (ubuntu) - swap [18:30] Gounst_: everything you need should be within the iso [18:31] my desktop can boot it fine with super grub2 disk (i will not install grub to the main hard drive's mbr as grub is a pita and seems to break for me all the time) [18:31] Gounst_: i know you said you tried it multiple times with different creators but humor me. On windows have you tried http://www.linuxliveusb.com/en/download [18:31] Yeah I did. [18:31] but my laptop doesn't [18:31] Linux Live Creator, Universal USB installer, and unetbootin [18:31] all producing: "SYSLINUX ...... " upon boot, and it stalls. [18:32] can't even boot a live cd on my laptop for some reason, took like 40 minutes of rebooting to get backtrack to work just once [18:32] Mgamerz, well, rather than install on an outboard to avoid using a cdrom , why not try the alternate ? [18:32] the alternate...? alternate install? [18:32] Gounst_: ok. i just did 11.10 x64 with it yesterday and no problems. when you were in LiLi did you make any changes other than choosing where usb was located [18:32] !alternate | Mgamerz [18:32] Mgamerz: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [18:32] ... but i've already installed ubuntu, i don't need to install it again === JoFo__ is now known as JoFo [18:33] Mm, well I chose to format the USB but that's about it. [18:33] also this is on my netbook [18:33] okm ,sry, Mgamerz , guess I misunderstood [18:33] Gounst_: is it still installed === seanr is now known as seanr|away [18:33] Gounst_: assuming your on the win pc [18:33] Mgamerz: backtrack isn't supported here [18:33] LinuxLive? Yes it is. [18:33] And I just tried again with unetbootin, "SYSLINUX" argh. [18:34] This message is death I tells ya. [18:34] my laptop cannot resume from hibernate, it just starts up as if i shut it down [18:34] Gounst_: im not sure cause you did use others too, but im curious as to what LiLi settings are [18:35] I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and I'm getting a warning from Wine: PulseAudio "default" -22 without handle_underrun. Audio may hang. Please upgrade to alsa_plugins >= 1.0.24 [18:35] does anyone know how I can upgrade those alsa plugins? [18:35] All right, just used default settings on Lili. "SYSLINUX" message still comes up. [18:36] llutz: ActionParsnip : I found the problem: It seems to be that I did not extract the sqashfs by cp -a [18:36] Gounst_: just trying to think of all the bases here... have you tried another usb port if available [18:36] zoidfarb, have you updated/upgraded from the repos lately ? [18:36] Tried all 3 on my netbook. [18:36] Do you have an idea why? [18:36] hello === leming_ is now known as JustAnotherVicti [18:37] ManDay: permission problem, empty dirs not copied... wonder why you haven't got any errors [18:37] . [18:37] BluesKaj, latest version in my repos seems to be libasound2-plugins version 10.0.22-0ubuntu7\ [18:37] llutz: Me too. === JustAnotherVicti is now known as Justanothervicti [18:38] BluesKaj, is there maybe a backport repo I could use? [18:38] llutz: Permission problem, though? Does apt-get drop priviledges? Otherwise I wouldn't see how permissions were a problem, since I am root. [18:38] Gounst: have you updated the BIOS on the netbook? [18:38] llutz: If you are fancy, you can try for yourself [18:38] Gounst_: stick around if you can, checking a few things [18:38] zoidfarb, open a terminal and run , sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [18:38] ManDay: next time maybe, gtg now [18:38] :P [18:39] llutz: Thank you for helping [18:39] llutz: Bye [18:39] Gounst_: i just thought... is this a sandisc usb [18:39] Yeah it is! [18:39] SanDiskCruzer [18:39] Why? [18:39] Gounst_: i bet its u3 [18:39] Gounst_: or whatever its called. i always remove it off mine [18:40] How do you remove it? Because I've formatted the dang thing like 20 times. === seanr|away is now known as seanr [18:41] Gounst_: http://drivers1.sandisk.com/DriverDownload/assets/USB%20Flash%20Drives/launchpadremoval.zip [18:41] Gounst_: please let me know if that was it, but its gotta be cause you verified sum, used multiple creators and i just did using a cruzer on 11.10 yesterday, but U3 was removed [18:41] so what will this do? [18:42] Gounst_: it will just remove the U3 partition off the drive. it contains scandisk tools.. i never used them so i just remeoved, but if you do use them, maybe just try with a non sandisc usb [18:42] people still use u3, wow [18:43] how does this program know which USB to format? [18:43] Gounst_: i'd use dd on the raw device to wipe it from start to finish with zeros [18:43] BluesKaj: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [18:43] it doens't ask me to choose which device I want to format. What if it formats my HDD? [18:43] BluesKaj, I've already updated earlier this morning [18:43] ActionParsnip: he on windows. trying to install but fails on syslinux screen... u3 could be a cause right [18:43] geoffmcc: gotcha [18:44] Gounst_: its been a while, so to be safe just make sure no other usb drives are attached [18:44] will it wipe my HDD? [18:44] Gounst_: just the usb stick [18:44] Gounst_: the guys in ##windows may know a disk scrubbing app [18:45] hi [18:45] all right removed U3 [18:45] Gounst_: yea this is sandisk offical way to remove it, but if your not comphy with that tool, then prob another way [18:45] Gounst_: try again... please let me know [18:45] well I did it, I'm assuming it removed it. [18:46] all right putting linux on it again via Universal USB Creator program === MrAmerica is now known as Guest68281 [18:46] If I use the flash plugin a lot of other software that use audio no longer work and need to be restarted to work again with audio.

One is connected directly to the internet (IP 83.22.128...) and the other one is connected to the local network (IP 192.168...). Both NICs can reach the internet; one directly and the other one through my dhcp router. For some reasons, when I browse the internet on my ubuntu box, it uses the NIC that is plugged to the LAN. Can I somehow prioritize the NICs? Or force ubuntu to always use the NIC [18:51] that is directly to the net, except for 192.168.. requests? [18:51] how can I get flash plugin and other audio software to work together? [18:51] I'm trying to rebuild a (python-cairo aka pycairo) for multiple versions of Python.

[18:52] RobinJ: are you port forwarding to the right IP? Are you allowing all port 80 traffic through on the router? [18:52] ActionParsnip: yup, forwarded the port, the same way i forwarded the ftp port, and that one does work [18:52] Gounst_: I suggest you buy cheap USB drives in future, they don't have extra complications like that which makes life easier [18:52] Gounst_: if you see anyone stuck on that screen, you asking if they are using sandisc and pointing them to that tool will be thanks enough [18:53] :) [18:53] ActionParsnip: http://img6.imagebanana.com/img/y6pdtn4u/Selectie_114.png << i'm 192.168.1.8 [18:53] RobinJ: I get connection refused for ftp on 109.132.145.182 too [18:54] i know, that's the issue xd [18:54] jeez ubuntu deps are INSANE [18:54] RobinJ: If you are on a residental ISP it is possible that they are blocking you.

There are ways around that but im not sure if its appropriate to discuss, so just go looking.

I'm still trying to find out how though. [19:09] llutz: they used to. As originally conceived, every machine on the internet was a full participant in the network.

I just rolled back to the Ubuntu repo version and it seems better [19:09] I have /dev/mapper/root and no partition for boot only. Now I would like to know which partition mount and chroot after the install of ubuntu 11.10 with raid1 and lvm2 so I can install lvm2 and mdadm on the live cd boot? [19:10] ntr0py: I'm using gnome and sawfish, this has nothing to do with compiz or unity.. I'm talking about an X11 extension of the Xorg server not being loaded at all [19:10] oliverp: I think your can delete the all 0's route for your 192.x network. layer 2 networking should still give you access to your internal network since that doesn't need to be routed [19:11] zoidfarb, yeah, the repos are usually best unless you want bleedinmg edge then it's somewhat risky [19:11] llutz: my *dialup* ISP up through the mid-90s offered free usenet access and didn't block any ports [19:11] , thanks you i'll try that! [19:11] Is anyone home? [19:11] * nvz goes to attempt creating an xorg.conf [19:11] I need help. [19:11] Very much help. [19:12] BluesKaj, yeah, thanks. If, in the future, I wanted to update any system libraries without doing a dist-upgrade, would I have to compile them myself? Or are there good repos for such things? [19:12] oliverp: you can try configuring your eth1 interface with a static address without a gateway. might be easier than manipulating the routes [19:12] zoidfarb: mine too but its up to the ISP to allow/deny that. if one needs to offer public-services, he needs a contract allowing it. [19:13] By which command do I find out which package a file is part of? [19:13] anyone have a moment to query? have a question about apt [19:13] !ask [19:13] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily).

I think it's fair to complain to your ISP a bit. If you quit, make sure they know *why* you're leaving for a better ISP that leaves your ports open [19:15] how can I get flash plugin and other audio software to work at the same time?

[19:29] I need to chroot them so that I can install lvm2 and mdadm while still running the live usb [19:31] kdcisit: the error is fdisk: not found :) [19:31] hmm, removing pulse is not an option, I already tried this and it didn't work out nice for several reasons. [19:32] I'm trying to install a program that is looking for the sqlite3 shared library but can't find it. Where is the shared library typically on Ubuntu? [19:32] spunk: backtrack is not ubuntu.

[19:34] apt-get dist-upgrade is trying to install unity. how to find out why apt-get is installing this new package? === Guest66200 is now known as onre [19:35] iceroot: What version are you upgrading from and which one are you upgrading to? [19:35] usr13: dist-upgrade on lubuntu 12.04 (no ne4ed for #ubuntu+1) just a general apt/dpkg-question [19:36] g0th, in the terminal , locate libflashplayer.so ...do you have it located in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ ? if not , copy it to that file [19:36] usr13: i need something like what package is pulling unity in that case [19:36] /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so [19:36] /usr/share/ubufox/plugins/libflashplayer.so [19:36] /usr/share/ubufox/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so [19:36] /var/lib/flashplugin-installer/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so [19:37] g0th: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:37] iceroot: unity is part of 12.04, (as well is 11.10). [19:37] usr13: lubuntu [19:37] kdcisit: yes, I am running from the server installer [19:37] iceroot: Oh, lubuntu. Well then, let's have a look at your sources.list file [19:37] usr13: there is no unity by default in lubuntu so i want to know (some apt-foo) why unity will be installed [19:38] iceroot: pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list [19:38] usr13: normal sourcelist [19:38] send resulting URL [19:38] usr13: no need for that, i think you dont get what i want [19:38] usr13: i want to know which package is pulling unity as a dependencie [19:39] usr13: and for that i need an apt/aptitude/dpkg command [19:39] iceroot: I know that aptitude has a 'why' command, but I'm not sure how to replicate that with just apt-get [19:39] Pici: aptitude is fine for that, i dont need apt-get === Quintasan_ is now known as Quintasan [19:40] iceroot: then aptitude why unity *should* tell you why that dependency is being pulled in. [19:40] im connect to wireless modem in ubuntu, how can i used internet whit manual connection ?? [19:40] bastidrazor: no shit. I'm asking why does stuff that should work, not work? [19:40] Pici: gnome-session, thanks [19:40] spunk: Please mind your language here. [19:40] Pici: it was "aptitude why unity" [19:41] Pici his nick is already mildly rated r ;D [19:41] Hi, I've installed ubuntu 11.10 on a PPC PowerMac to donate to a needy family for Xmas. Can someone help me get the sound working? [19:42] hi folks [19:43] though spunk, cool nick bro 5/5! \:D/ [19:43] What can I do if my notebook shows blank black screen after "/dev initialization..." during boot - system is working, but no picture on the screen (no X and no TTYs) [19:43] Pici: fyi apt-rdepends (not installed by default) can do the same [19:43] What's the best way to change how you Alt+Tab between programs in Ubuntu? For instance I'd like to Ctrl+Tab [19:44] iceroot: aye, but thats not installed by default and while aptitude isn't either its more likely to be installed. [19:45] g0th, in the terminal, sudo cp /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins [19:45] how to change the output from the shell (e.g. apt-get) to english [19:46] iceroot: prefix the line with LANG=C [19:46] Pici: thx [19:47] Hi, any chance I could get help getting sound working on a PPC PowerMac under Ubuntu 11.10? We're preparing it for donation to a needy family. [19:48] balachmar: server install disc should have fdisk on it. run mount to see how the disc is mounted and search the disc for fdisk. [19:48] jeward: PPC port is pretty much dead [19:48] I exported LANG=en_US.UTF-8 then started the IRC client, and this IRC client tells me I'm on tt_TR.UTF-8. how come? [19:48] jeward: it's community maintained and not really a solid product [19:49] jeward: Debian's PPC port might be a better option. [19:49] Aelingil: Turns out there is no way to change the color.. it's tied to your background image! [19:49] ikonia: Is there a distro I should try besides ubuntu? [19:50] jeward: have a look on distrowatch.com for PPC distros [19:50] Anyone know how to configure 10.04 to wake on lan from suspend? wake on lan works when the system is powered off. [19:50] kdcisit: that is part of the bios [19:51] kdcisit: the os has nothing to do with wol [19:52] iceroot: it does for suspend though. BIOS is configured and it works when powered off [19:52] jeward: sudo nano /etc/modules at the bottom add snd-powermac save and reboot [19:53] geoffmcc: That line is already in there. [19:53] diatomaceous, ...someone said that a few hours ago.. hmm ok then, learn somethign new every day. [19:54] If I buy an iPod, will I be able to use iTunes on Ubuntu?

[19:55] Aelingil: Whoops, I missed that.. thanks [19:56] diatomaceous, no problem, good luck :) [19:57] konr: Buying Apple products is not a good plan if you want Ubuntu support. Apple actively tries to prevent third party applications from being able to sync with their devices, breaking previously working applications with updates to the iDevice. [19:58] Jordan_U: it's really a shame, considering that they have BSD code in their products [19:59] its mostly their own code [19:59] hence why they charge for it [20:00] konr: buying apple-products is not a good idea (doesnt matter if you want to use ubuntu or not) [20:00] how can i go about locking the screen via hotkey such as ctl+alt+L or something [20:00] lmao nevermind === hadrien is now known as NaCK [20:01] ctl+alt+L does lock the screen.. i didnt know [20:01] anyone know what calls /etc/init/failsafe.conf [20:01] happygolucky: you can see a list of pre defined shortucts in keyboards on the shortcut tab [20:01] helo: it's when X falls back [20:01] geoffmcc: how do i access that [20:02] happygolucky: if on 11.10 just type keyboard in dash and then click shortcuts tab [20:02] ikonia: this happens on boot before X does anything [20:02] happygolucky: after opening keyboard ofcourse [20:02] helo: what does ? [20:02] ikonia: when failsafe.conf is called [20:03] helo: what makes you think that ? [20:03] ikonia: because my machine hangs booting saying "Waiting on network configuration..." followed by the next echo in failsafe.conf [20:03] this is a server install, no xdm/gdm etc [20:04] helo: right......so how do you know that it's not the network config that's hanging it [20:04] helo: boot into single user mode and check [20:04] helo: The beginning of that file shows you when upstart will call it.

I am running 10.04 64bit. There is an application I would like to run that is distributed only in a 32bit .deb file. What are my options for running this software? do I have any? [20:15] g0th$ sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-installer && sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-downloader [20:15] gfg [20:15] g0th$ then im pretty sure you need to edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment (remove the #) from the two lines under partner repository.

In fact, we don't distribute a 64bit flashplugin-downloader package. [20:17] Nevermind... I got unlazy and googled... got this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit [20:18] Pici$ doesn't that version use ndiswrapper [20:18] anyway that's a mixing issue [20:19] alsa should have dmix on by default [20:19] MahaVishnu: surely you mean nspluginwrapper? [20:19] I guess so. Im not a programmer just a user. [20:20] hello there.i have a question about screenlets [20:20] and when I got rid of the flashplugin-downloader/installer packages my audio stopped freezing on 11.10 64bit so I figured it might help him t oo since he is on 64bit no harm in installing the correct one for his arch [20:20] i installed Lyrics but it don't work ! it just show me "Searching" [20:21] What should i do? [20:22] HEllo all [20:22] Guys [20:22] ÿMahaVishnu: isn't this this apt bug issue about always 2 version of one package showing up, one i386 and one from something else I forgot...

[20:32] Jordan_U$ so you dont need to update-initramfs when update grub? [20:32] someone taught me to always do both. thats only reason I tell people [20:32] i can't boot the ubuntu [20:33] _UsUrPeR_: It sounds like dmraid is configured not to allow use of a degraded array. I try to avoid FakeRAID myself so I don't know how to configure it to do otherwise, but that hopefully can point you in the right direction. [20:33] MahaVishnu: Proprietary driver with 3D acceleration for NVIDIA graphics cards. essential [20:33] ubottu: thanks you for the information [20:33] NeedBeckUP: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:34] <_UsUrPeR_> Jordan_U: au contraire: One of these drives will boot in a degraded array. The other one hands at initramfs [20:34] NeedBeckUP$ is X failing to start? did the driver installation fail? what is the EXACT issue. [20:34] MahaVishnu: No, update-initramfs and update-grub are very different commands. [20:34] <_UsUrPeR_> if that is considered "normal operation", that's kind of sad isn't it? [20:34] good to know ;-) === soreau_ is now known as soreau [20:34] _UsUrPeR_: Then I don't know. Sorry. [20:34] <_UsUrPeR_> Jordan_U, no problem. I'll figure something out [20:35] MahaVishnu: i can install and reboot but when i check from infromation system the GC unknown [20:35] MahaVishnu: And grub-install and update-grub are also very different commands.

[21:15] anybody know a good way to change mouse focus behavior in unity? [21:15] Did anonyone can help me how I can use it? [21:16] Gentoo64, that is going to fix a lot of things for me. I can log both top and iotop and check what makes my box hardfreeze sometimes ^^ [21:16] Mert, try google or youtube [21:16] sokak, leave tail -g /var/log/messages on too [21:16] tail -f* [21:16] :) [21:16] or /var/log/kern.log [21:16] anyonee? [21:16] ? [21:18] Gentoo64, i guess i know yet whats freezing me. I tried on a partition the last version of ubuntu (since im sticking to maverick) so i guess there is something going fuzzy in Maverick kernel+nvidia module, since when all freezes happens either that electricsheep is running or i just leave browsers open with heavy flash stuff going [21:18] (ah, in oneiric is not happening ofc) [21:18] hard to say [21:19] Im just too lazy to switch :| [21:19] does the entire system proper freeze> [21:19] or just the keyboard [21:20] total deadlock - no way to summon a terminal, no ssh access, no mouse, just a happy green screen, neither reisub works [21:20] plain green screen? [21:20] ctrl+alt+f2 ? [21:21] sometimes black - but sometimes when electric sheep starts i have greenflakes === mike is now known as Guest422 [21:21] well if you can see it, leave the /var/log open in a terminal [21:21] sounds like nvidia === Xano_ is now known as Xano [21:21] try it with noubeau maybe [21:21] yeah, i had an heartache thinking my 570 was burnt [21:22] nouveau [21:22] tried on another box - runs smoothly [21:22] nah its probbly just a driver thing. impossible for me to say though [21:22] could be anything [21:22] please could help me, i have disabled my logon password in Ubuntu 11.10 and now i cant chnage it again or download new software!!!! [21:22] i guess youre right - i just have a crawl adsl, a whole update will take a couple of days -.- [21:23] anybody know a good way to change mouse focus behavior in unity? [21:23] Gentoo64, when ill feel like unity or gnome 3, prolly ill update from scratch and get rid of those hangs [21:24] haha [21:25] I like my linux as i like my girl - full of flaws and caprices - still able to keep up with me. === Exio is now known as Exio4|Away === flack is now known as flack-Z === Exio4|Away is now known as Exio4 [21:29] hey guys, how can i mute sound from terminal? [21:29] Rictoo_: alsamixer [21:29] setting rainymood for tonight, wanna sleep 1800; mute sound; :) [21:29] usr13, without user interaction possible? [21:29] Rictoo_: Oh, well, dono [21:30] sound for a particular app? === Rictoo_ is now known as Rictoo [21:31] usr13, doesn't matter [21:31] global would be fine [21:31] I am trying to create a bootable Windows 7 USB stick from Ubuntu. I have the iso file... anyone know what to do next? === broofa_ is now known as broofa [21:32] Ed_Money, you have to format the disk, and copy the iso somehow [21:33] Ed_Money: i THINK you can dd the iso to the flash... [21:33] Ed_Money, there are some mstools, you might need to make dosfs [21:33] Ed_Money: you may want to ask in #windows [21:33] what is the command to list all loaded kernel modules? [21:33] DeltaEpsilon: lsmod [21:33] Anyone know a way to add directories to be accessed by vsftpd after a chroot? [21:34] Is it safe to remove Unity & Gnome 3? [21:34] tp43: what are you going to use instead? [21:34] xfce [21:34] tp43: go for it :) [21:34] which licence are the wallpaper of ubuntu ? [21:34] dr_willis, I thought so. but.. that command list my hdd [21:35] -Name:~$ /bin/lsmod [21:35] /dev/sda1: SEC_TYPE="msdos" UUID="2D3C-2E12" TYPE="vfat" [21:35] /dev/sda2: UUID="0b2326c3-2e37-4f68-a69a-8b25aaf2c627" TYPE="ext4" [21:35] 11.10 xfce - openbve not running with messages filename not known and something else. any ideas? [21:35] but thing is, xfce is running slow in 1 respect I noticed, and I think it is due to unity or gnome 3, namely when I right click the desktop, there is a delay before the menu shows up [21:35] mount.nfs4 192.168.0.24:/share /mnt [21:35] mount.nfs4: No such device [21:35] ? [21:35] dr_willis, something very wrong with my system [21:35] what is wrong with mount command? [21:35] DeltaEpsilon: i just do 'lsmod' and its defaintly showsing the modules [21:36] I think I screwed up my system [21:36] dr_willis, how do I reinstall lsmod? [21:36] DeltaEpsilon: no idea.. how did you break it? [21:36] dr_willis, not sure... [21:36] egospell, It probably varies from image to image, but some are under the commercial commons license [21:36] dr_willis, I was messing around with openqrm [21:36] :-( [21:36] egospell, *creative commons [21:37] !info openqrm [21:37] Package openqrm does not exist in oneiric [21:37] o.0 [21:37] dr_willis, where do I get the original lsmod for my system? 11.10 amd64 [21:37] Ed_Money, make the stick a ntfs with a bootflag and extract to it with the archive manager. [21:37] !find lsmod [21:37] Found: libstat-lsmode-perl [21:37] how the hell did i get here? xD [21:37] upload it for me please [21:37] in not on ubuntu. [21:38] some one upload the bin lsmod from /sbin/lsmod for me please. ubuntu 11.10 amd64 [21:38] Ed_Money, and don't use a non official MS iso bro. [21:38] urlin2u: can you add more detail to how to make the stick an ntfs etc..., I have an official copy [21:38] 11.10 xfce - openbve not running with messages filename not known and something else. any ideas? [21:38] an official copy of windows i mean [21:39] Where are the wordlists that spell-checkers use for reference? [21:39] DeltaEpsilon: makes me wonder what else you may have broken [21:39] Ed_Money, with gparted make the partition a ntfs and the label it as boot, right click the iso and use the archive manager to exstract to it. [21:40] dr_willis, the system is still running... [21:40] urlin2u: thanks, ill try that [21:40] brightspark, i read there are different arts of the cc lizenz ....... my [21:40] DeltaEpsilon: ive seen systems 'running' after ive fdisk/deleted the partions that were in use... :) [21:40] but not for long. [21:40] night all... [21:41] Ed_Money, the multisystem usb loader at pendrivelinux works as well if you use it format the thumb to a fat32 with gparted as well it is picky on what formats the partition. [21:41] 11.10 xfce - openbve not running with messages filename not known and something else. any ideas? [21:41] how can i find out where totem plays a video from when i have doubleclicked the video inside an archive? [21:41] i will use this wallpapers in a comercial project ...... and i am unsure i can use this wallpaper ..... [21:41] dr_willis, how do I reinstall a package using apt-get? [21:42] varikonniemi, it is the path to that video [21:42] the archive manager has extracted it somewhere temporary [21:43] can everyone say me, if i can use the ubuntu-wallpaper in comercial videos ? [21:43] i tried lsof but cannot comprehend the results it shows [21:43] dr_willis, now lsmod works again [21:43] but I am sure some other parts are broken [21:43] time will tell [21:43] egospell, any confirmation here would be stupid to follow. [21:44] 11.10 xfce - openbve not running with messages filename not known and something else. any ideas? [21:44] anybody know of the software that allows you to use your mouse as a pen right on the screen? [21:44] it's used for instructional purposes [21:44] seen it in tutorials and training videos before? [21:44] urlin2u, i dont want to break the licence ..... taht is evrything - and because that i ask [21:45] that* [21:45] okay - good night guys [21:45] egospell, creative commons attribution share-alike [21:45] <|Shay|> Stupid me. Running 11.10 ARM on A beagleXM. How do I add/edit users from terminal. Im used to ( in x86 ubuntu ) to adding users to /etc/sudoers but that file on the Beagle is empty for some reason. Any suggestions? [21:45] egospell, read /usr/share/doc/ubuntu-artwork/copyright [21:45] egospell, this channel is a bunch of ubuntu users not canonicals legal department, use your brain. [21:46] urlin2u, be nice :) [21:46] <|Shay|> Stupid me. Running 11.10 ARM on A beagleXM. How do I add/edit **Root Users** users from terminal. Im used to ( in x86 ubuntu ) to adding users to /etc/sudoers but that file on the Beagle is empty for some reason. Any suggestions? [21:46] brightspark, some times it takes a dope slap bro. [21:46] <|Shay|> oops. [21:47] |Shay|, try 'sudo visudo' [21:47] Hello all, I'm trying to install skype and get the following problem from the software center: http://pastebin.com/9qdpYkqg [21:47] <|Shay|> mkanyicy: Thanks, one sex [21:47] <|Shay|> *Sec [21:48] <|Shay|> Typing fail [21:48] hh [21:48] jtreminio, which ubuntu version? [21:48] * |Shay| has to wait for a program to finish compiling. [21:48] Neosano, 11.10, 64 bit [21:48] |Shay|, I can see, the c and x buttons are neighbours, :) [21:48] Where are the wordlists that spell-checkers use for reference? [21:49] jtreminio, would this comand from terminal result with the same error? sudo apt-get install skype [21:49] brightspark, you need another dictionary? [21:50] urlin2u, I'm actually just looking for one of the pre-installed ones [21:50] Neosano, that installs it correctly, but then I can't open [21:50] 11.10 xfce - openbve not running with messages filename not known and something else. any ideas? [21:50] jtreminio, can't open skype? [21:50] Neosano, skype: error while loading shared libraries: libQtDBus.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [21:50] urlin2u, but I don't know where they reside on my system [21:50] id like to have the options of each window directly in the window.. not the taskbar.. how can i set this up? [21:50] Neosano, Google says to uninstall Skype and try doing it from the software center ... but then I wind up at the beginning. [21:51] like in empathie "rooms" etc [21:51] jtreminio how did you install skype? [21:51] jtreminio, what if you try this? sudo apt-get install libqtdbus4-perl [21:51] brightspark: there aren't dictionary files as such [21:51] jtreminio: i think you have to do a 'sudo apt-get install multiarch-support' first [21:52] jtreminio, and then 'sudo apt-get install skype:i386' [21:52] jtreminio, im using 64bit too [21:52] mkanyicy, oh, right! [21:52] sudo apt-get install libqtdbus4-perl: http://pastebin.com/We1smVtk [21:52] Neosano, sudo apt-get install libqtdbus4-perl: http://pastebin.com/We1smVtk [21:53] hey, does anyone know? [21:53] why do i keep getting Segmentation fault/Segmentation fault reading... 0% when using apt-get or aptitude install? [complete ubuntu noob] [21:53] mkanyicy, same output: http://pastebin.com/We1smVtk [21:54] jtreminio, why are you installing libqtdbus4-perl directly? [21:54] mkanyicy, I had a bad repo, docky dev, that was messing up my apt. I couldn't install anything, so had to remove that repo, and update, which removed a bunch of programs. Now I'm here [21:54] wait, nvm, new error: FATAL -> Failed to fork. [21:55] BrewNo: this is when you are trying apt-get install on a particular package, or any package you try to install? [21:56] jtreminio, but yet still, you rather re-install the apps that need the libraries and let those app installs be the ones that pull the libraries [21:57] jtreminio, instead of installing libraries directly [21:57] sanjayb, only tried one [21:57] i'll try another [21:57] <|Anthony|> i'm planning a multi-boot setup (various versions of ubuntu, various windows versions, and possibly some other *nix variants) and am now considering partition management. Is it recommended to separate /boot /usr /var /tmp and the like? and is it possible for any of the os's to share some partitions (/tmp or /boot even)? [21:57] mkanyicy, I rebooted and my Unity 3D option is gone :\ [21:57] jtreminio, anyway, back to the question at hand, is your problem just skype or something else as well? [21:57] mkanyicy, so I'm thinking a bunch of necessary things were removed. [21:57] jtreminio, be happy :D :D [21:57] jtreminio, ok i get you [21:57] hey all, I'm running ubuntu 11.04 and suddenly my development files seem to have changed, to the point where I can't compile any x code without it spewing warnings, where previously there were none, and in some cases, errors. What could've changed on my system? [21:58] sanjayb, i tried sudo apt-get upgrade, got the same fatal error [21:58] mkanyicy, well, flash was removed, but I've reinstalled that correctly. Unit 3D is gone... and skype as well. I'm sure other things but i haven't noticed. [21:58] jtlap, it is more serious than I thought [21:58] and I'm talking about the usr/include headers [21:58] Neosano, I prefer 2D but I did notice 3D was gone. [21:58] ?? [21:59] BrewNo: can you try 'sudo apt-get update' and do you get any errors? [21:59] |Anthony|: I would highly recommend against separating partitions, and don't try to share /boot/. [21:59] update works fine sanjayb [21:59] 52 aktualisiert, 0 neu installiert, 0 zu entfernen und 2 nicht aktualisiert. [21:59] FATAL -> Failed to fork. [21:59] ^ that's what i get from upgrade [22:00] (yes, it's in german, i still need to find a way to change that) [22:00] BrewNo: wow, hm. ubuntu what version? [22:00] sanjayb 10.04 minimal 32 bit [22:00] mkanyicy, I figured I probably broke the system somehow. I don't want to format and start from scratch, but if that's my only option I'm prepared. [22:01] BrewNo: ah, how much RAM do you have, and, have you allocated swap space? [22:02] jtreminio, Im not sure maybe some more clued up folks here know but there should be some application 'meta' that you should try to reinstall which represents the unity desktop [22:02] 256mb ram and 256mb swap i think [22:02] ahh, scratch that, turns out there was an uncommented character at the start of the c file. [22:02] jtreminio, back in the day I would say do 'sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop' [22:02] <|Anthony|> Jordan_U, not even for /home or /tmp [22:03] jtreminio, now I dont know what is the equivalent of that [22:03] mkanyicy, psychocats says it's install ubuntu-desktop [22:03] BrewNo: hm - it maybe a memory issue .. can you paste the output of 'free -m' ? [22:03] jtreminio, oh, that did not work either? :0 [22:03] mkanyicy, haha: ubuntu-desktop : Depends: unity but it is not going to be installed === n970873_ is now known as jellow [22:04] jtreminio, at least that is promising [22:04] unity : Depends: libglib2.0-bin [22:04] jtreminio, now get your repositories up [22:04] BrewNo: my guess is there's a LOT of updates if its the first time you're running it on a 10.04 install, and somethings causing it to run out of ram .. if possible, increase swap space.. can you install packages individually ? [22:04] sudo apt-get update works fine. [22:04] BrewNo: like 'sudo apt-get install cowsay' ? [22:05] jtreminio, main restricted universe multiverse partner etcetera [22:05] jtreminio, yes but if it saying an app is not gonna be installed it means that you have not enabled all the needed repos [22:06] gotcha [22:07] hey I don't seem to have same repos >=[ [22:07] wait I don't think the official repos show up in this list [22:07] hi [22:08] i'm trying to uninstall the fglrx drivers on my machine, and I installed them using the ATI package on their website. Does anyone know how to do this? [22:09] KaiSforza: What ubuntu version do you have? [22:09] vristan I am using linux mint 12, so it is based on 11.10. thought i'd ask here. [22:10] Any idea what could make the X11 display flicker under CPU load (10.04LTS, nouveau driver, Phenom II 945)? [22:11] hmmm... is it possible to get the right click menu that lets me move a window to another workspace while maximized in 11.10? [22:11] KaiSforza: have you tried removing "--purge xorg-driver-fglrx fglrx* " from the command line? [22:11] it works when it's not maximized... it just seems to not appear when it is [22:12] I think I'm going to just reinstall ubuntu === MArceLL is now known as `MArceLL` [22:12] vristan, no...pardon me, but i'm not terribly good with the command line yet. [22:14] KaiSforza: Google for "FglrxInteferesWithRadeonDriver" the first result should be the page you are interested in, specifically (Problem: Need to purge -fglrx) [22:15] with the ubuntu default install, are ssh keys automatically generated ? [22:15] anyone knows how to set up a proxy using the firefox8? [22:15] KaiSforza: Sometimes you can just copy and paste to the terminal, but be carefull not to break anything. [22:15] ok. [22:15] DarkStar1, no they ain't... google "how to set up SSH keys ubuntu" [22:15] vristan, i'm thinking about reinstalling soon, but I just want to know how to fix it if it goes crazy again. [22:15] Monotoko: Ok. thx [22:16] DarkStar1$ did you sudo apt-get install openssh-server ? [22:16] MahaVishnu: no [22:16] can anyone help me use my logitech wireless keyboard for ubuntu 11? cause the site http://www.hidpoint.com doesn't have driver past ubuntu 10 [22:16] are you trying to run an ssh server on that machine ? [22:16] KaiSforza: If you are thinking about reinstalling, you should not worry about trying out the command. They should work fine with copy and paste, but I can't guarantee it 100%. [22:17] MahaVishnu: no [22:17] ok [22:17] nautilus won't search.. how can i fix it? [22:20] tp43: when you run $ lsusb from the terminal do you get anything related to Logitech listed? [22:21] is there any software on linux/ubuntu to manage Samsung SCH-U640 phone? I have tried bitpim, but it does not work for me. [22:21] is there any software on linux/ubuntu to manage Samsung SCH-U640 phone? I have tried bitpim, but it does not work for me. [22:21] lae; what do you mean manage? Are you planning developing with it? [22:22] *lake: what do you mean manage? Are you planning developing with it? [22:22] what mode should I use for the documentroot of apache? I have create ~/www but when I try to install wordpress it says it could not write config.php :\ [22:22] shame to ask this but what's the CLI utility for viewing NIC details? it's not ifconfig :) [22:22] vristan: i want to be able to sync contacts, mainly [22:22] hang on; wrong distro [22:22] Antonis: usually it is located in /var/www/ if you installed lamp [22:23] lake: tried gnokii? it had support for bunch of samsungs === odenthaa is now known as Odysimus [22:23] lake: and then theres gammu [22:23] vristan, no I installed each package myself and it runs well I mean I changed the path to /home/username/www but I have this permission problem and can't understand why [22:23] DarkStar1$ ethtool [22:24] MahaVishnu: forgot the remote distro is CentOS [22:24] Antonis: What errors are you getting? Have you tried $chmod 755 -R to your ~/www folder? [22:24] DarkStar1$ ah. see if it's ethtool if you want to look at low level nic details [22:25] pretty common for linux [22:25] vristan, that's what I was asking (maybe didn't explain well) is it 755? let me check [22:25] MahaVishnu: Nope. no ethtool [22:25] DarkStar1$ oh well. youll figure it out [22:26] vristan, it still says it can't create the config file and that I have to create it myself :\ [22:27] DarkStar1$ btw you *can* use ethtool for centos [22:28] Antonis: Try $ sudo chmod 775 -R ~/www , if not try 777 (which is insecure but just for testing purpose). [22:28] What is the terminal command to run a program? [22:28] MahaVishnu: and ifconfig too. turns out that the path variables are different for non-root users :D === go87654 is now known as go8765 [22:28] DarkStar1$ ic [22:29] TTilus: hmm. seems gnokii support a bunch of nokias. only 3 samsungs are listed on the wiki. [22:29] vristan, 777 worked [22:30] but it shouldn't be 777 :\ [22:30] Antonis: great, know try reverting it back to 775 or 755... And check if it still up and running. === Mud is now known as Guest10862 === go8765 is now known as go87654 [22:31] jakr: you could use $ program_name & , example $ firefox & , to open a program from the terminal [22:31] TTilus: thanks for the info. i will try hard to make it work for me. [22:31] vristan, in theory it would but what if I want to make changes to files (through wordpress) like themes etc. [22:32] and why do I have to change permission to 777 when I have the dir in my home dir? [22:32] vristan: command not found [22:32] ubuntu or mint, to be or not to be, what will you be ? [22:33] Antonis: I am not a wordpress expert, but I am am assuming that it needed 777 to create the config file. I believe you should still be able to change files. [22:33] lol. [22:34] Antonis: If not google for wordpress permissions and check what folders/files need special permissions to be modified. [22:34] vristan, will do thank you =) [22:34] jakr: you have to make sure you got the program installed and you are using the correct name. [22:34] Antonis$ you can write to your own home dir ? [22:34] Antonis: You bet. [22:35] vristan: where is the src directory? [22:36] MahaVishnu, yes [22:36] I create files and remove them etc. :P [22:36] Antonis$ but you cannot save files from wordpress ? [22:37] jakr: /usr/local/src [22:37] Antonis: for wordpress you need to have the root wordpress folder owned by the user that runs the apache server, usualy www-data [22:37] Antonis: so chmod -R www-data:ubuntu wordpress [22:37] somsip, only for installation or throughout the use of it? [22:38] Antonis: for use - it's a bit weird like that [22:38] An you make it safe by changing all dirs to 770 and all files to 660 [22:38] hod do I add the user antonis to the group www-data as well ? [22:38] Antonis: usermod -a -G www-data antonis [22:39] Antonis: change all subdirs: find . -type d -print0 | xargs -0 sudo chmod 770 [22:39] is there [22:39] somsip, and do I have to mode each file/folder I create?? [22:39] is there a command i can use to get java 7 on ubu [22:39] Antonis: change all sub files: find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sudo chmod 660 [22:39] how can i get java jre on ubu [22:39] aptana wont open [22:39] Antonis: if you do those, everything shouls work fine including uploads, upgrades, new templates/plugins, etc [22:40] i downloaded java 7 .rpm, but executing it just says failed dependencies [22:40] Hola todos, un amigo me dijo que me metiera aquí para pedir ayuda... espero no moleste [22:40] ups sorry, this is in english [22:40] Can i programm my scanner to scan every 5 seconds with xsane or simple scan? I need to scan a 800 page book [22:40] somsip, that for whole www folder or only for wordpress? [22:40] is it possible to download a copy of intrid.img somehwere? My version seems to have broken during the last kernel upgrade. [22:41] Antonis: just for wordpress. You can leave /var/www as root:www-data and 770 which is safe enough [22:41] I'll be back later to see If I can pick your brains, I need a little help. [22:41] hey, does anyone have any pointers for upgrading the version of stop-start-daemon installed in ubuntu 10.04 LTS [22:41] I really want log file support [22:41] meerkats, that is likely to depend on the firmware for the scanner. Can you initiate a scan from the command line? [22:42] brightspark, I have never done that [22:42] somsip, now it says forbidden when I try to access it :P [22:43] Antonis: access through web browser? Tell me what perms you have on there now [22:43] meerkats, if the scanner doesn't let you manually initiate a single scan, you will probably be unable to make it scan on a schedule. [22:44] somsip, ~/www is 770 , and files and folders according to the two commands you gave me. I also added my user (antonis) to www-data as you told me [22:44] brightspark, not everything is lost, xsane shows a "number to scan" option, there must be something that allows the user to specify the time in between each scanning [22:44] brightspark, "number of pages to scan" [22:45] Antonis: I didn't tell you to add your user to www-data - you asked how to do that. But it should make no difference. This is off topic so can we go to private msg? [22:45] somsip, of course [22:46] meerkats, is xsane a command-line utility? [22:46] so, start-stop-daemon not sure how to upgrade this system component…any pointers on where to even look? [22:47] Are programs supposed to just install into /home [22:47] for example: home/alex/Aptana Studio [22:48] is that where they suposed to go? or did i miss the option to choose [22:48] brightspark, no [22:49] meerkats, I suggest you look through whatever documentation you can find on it then. Since it's not command-line, its man page might not be very helpful, but it's a starting point. [22:49] is that where they suposed to go? or did i miss the option to choose [22:49] for example: home/alex/Aptana Studio [22:49] Hi Guys... i need help to fix a suspend/sleep issue in my lenovo s10-3 with 11.10 [22:49] hello. where I can found run-file after making from tar.gz ? [22:50] alguin conoce el canal irc de ubuntu en español [22:50] ? [22:50] !es | LinuXMint [22:50] LinuXMint: 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. [22:51] is this channel the most chaotic useless thing ever? [22:51] Maybe I can come back later to see if you guys can help me??? [22:51] yes andres_ , later will be perfect [22:52] were all going to prepare for later when you come back === alex__ is now known as yamahaalex37 [22:52] alex__: if you dont like it you dont need to be in here. there's other forms of support === root is now known as Guest15299 [22:52] i just pointed out that it seems chaotic and useless [22:52] Gracias men [22:53] yamahaalex37$ programs put files in different places. the executables go in /usr/bin you can type dpkg -L packagename in a terminal to list all files of a program. [22:53] MahaVishnu, , i guess i did it wrong, my executable is in /home/alex/Aptana Studio [22:53] yamahaalex37$ thats fine? [22:54] i guess... but if i have a lot of programs, Documents, Workspace etc will be cluttered among them [22:54] yamahaalex37$ did you somehow choose to put all programs in /home/ or did you just install that one to home === chalcedony` is now known as chalcedony [22:55] i never chose a global default [22:55] i just chose the self extracting aptana download [22:55] and thats where it went... i think [22:56] thats why. [22:56] try to install things from ubuntu software center [22:56] or using apt [22:56] MahaVishnu, i didnt see Aptana in ubu software [22:56] yamahaalex37$ you can try to double click on that file or in a terminal type ./home/alex/Aptana [22:57] but maybe i can apt get it? [22:57] note the . [22:57] yamahaalex37$ maybe so. [22:57] #python [22:57] yamahaalex37$ next time don't be so rude before someone answers though. [22:58] rude to the channel? was just making an observation, maybe i was wrong [22:58] id say you were sadly mistaken [22:59] we all want answers when we want them but this cannot always be the case in life. anyway. you can do a man apt to read about apt [22:59] i need help [22:59] Does any body here use QQ to chat sometime?? [22:59] pcmath | !ask [22:59] !ask | pcmath' [22:59] pcmath': Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [23:00] im ready to do this again, i have the aptana zip [23:00] just extract it to /bin? [23:00] yamahaalex37$ you dont have to.. [23:00] ? [23:01] you could just move that other file to /usr/bin [23:01] or just run it like I told you how to. [23:01] oh right [23:02] Hello, I have a question about network config...I'm sure it's very obvious but its driving me crazy... [23:04] I'm trying to configure a server with 2 nics/IPs, I want to be reachable on both. I configured the routes fine, but it only picks one NIC until I disable it then it defaults to the other one [23:05] I'm sure it's possible to do, to have two def gws and stay reachable on both [23:05] Kayron, you need to setup some kind of load balancing on your outbound routes [23:05] Kayron, http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2009/02/howto-setup-dual-dual-nic-bonding-on.html === tdubellz_ is now known as tdubz [23:06] i dont have the right permission to extract to bin [23:06] why wouldnt it just ask my password like normal... [23:06] can i get the permission while in gui [23:07] yamahaalex37, don't extract stuff to /bin extract it to /usr/local/bin or /opt [23:07] yamahaalex37$ if you use gksudo 'programname' [23:07] yamahaalex37, use the terminal. "sudo cp /path/to/original.file /path/to/copy" [23:07] yamahaalex37$ its /usr/bin [23:08] i dont see usr [23:08] nvm [23:08] still no permission for that [23:08] wow [23:09] why shouldnt i have permission to usr/bin [23:09] cause its owned by root [23:09] and dont change that! [23:09] what programname am i trying to run as gksudo? [23:09] what scaning program do you recommend under ubuntu? I see sxane has not been updated since 2010, and the devel list stopeed that year too Did they move to something better? [23:10] yamahaalex37, if you really want to do it graphically, use gksudo nautilus. [23:10] yamahaalex37, the safest thing for you to to is make a "bin" directory in your home folder and put the aptana executable there (or symlink to it). if you want other people to be able to use aptana put it in /opt or /usr/local/bin [23:10] meerkats, there is a gnome simple-scan program [23:11] escott, i need to scan 800 pages, and xsane was perfect for that [23:11] /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin... [23:11] yamahaalex37, do not put anything in /usr/bin [23:12] escott, which is really weird, I have used xsane without problems before, before upgrading to 11.10, could that be related? [23:12] how can I see my graphics card configuration in Ubuntu 11.10? [23:13] meerkats, they might have dropped xsane in favor of one of the other guis. what did you like about xsane that you aren't able to do with simple-scan [23:14] escott, choose 800 pages in a multipage project so it doesnt stop scanning and I just have to turn the pages [23:14] instead of click, turn page, click, turn page [23:14] never reading your chats [23:15] meerkats, you could probably use a command line tool. just put a sleep in between the scans [23:15] escott, not a good idea, im a total noob [23:16] meerkats, im not clear on how any gui is going to get you around the issue of having to tell the computer when you have reposition the page to be able to scan again [23:16] meerkats: while true; do dosomething; sleep 2s; done [23:16] unfunny [23:16] meerkats, but you could do: for i in `seq 1 800`; do scanimage > image$i.png; sleep 15; done; [23:17] uhm, or just seq :x [23:17] escott, it just doesnt stop, so you have to be really fast to turn the page while the scanner goes to default position [23:18] 2 seconds would be enough [23:18] meerkats, then take out the sleep. for i in `seq -w 1 800`; do scanimage > image$i.png; done; [23:19] escott, all I have tgo do is open a terminal and paste : for i in `seq 1 800`; do scanimage > image$i.png; sleep 15; done; ? [23:20] pretty much [23:20] lopl [23:20] just adjust the sleep time :x [23:20] meerkats, you probably want seq -w 1 800; and if you want 2 seconds that is sleep 2; but that will create image001.png image002.png in your home directory [23:21] escott, im giving it a try... [23:21] with 2 [23:23] escott, yes it works, it creates png files, and sleeps for 2 seconds, but my default viewer cannot display them: could not load "filenamehere" Fatal error reading PNG image file: Not a PNG file [23:24] what is wxgtk [23:24] ? [23:24] you're stupid [23:24] huh [23:24] never reading your chats [23:25] escott, gimp can read em [23:25] meerkats, i was just guessing it would create a png [23:25] how to diagnose screen tearing? [23:25] you are a fat faggot [23:25] meerkats: then it's in some other format [23:25] run in terminal file image001.png and it will tell you want it actually is [23:26] escott, pnm, properties says pnm [23:27] indeed it is, now I can see the copies [23:27] meerkats, you could use imagemagick's convert utility to bulk convert files to another format [23:27] Is there a UI widget for volume control? Specifically, that shows the volume graph as the sound is being played ? [23:28] so what is wxgtk [23:28] mrdeb: GTK+ implementation of wxWidgets API for GUI [23:28] :f [23:28] meerkats, or look at "man scanimage" to see if there is an option that outputs another format (assuming you dont want pnm) [23:28] all you do is blog [23:28] escott, i was aiming to pdf [23:29] meerkats, im sure its possible. if not install imagemagick and run: for i in *.pnm; do convert $i `basename $i pnm`pdf; done; [23:29] channer detected [23:29] ok daz [23:30] butat$ ? [23:30] escott, 83 MB free space, I should really stop installing new things [23:31] wow meerkats that is low [23:31] old meme [23:31] lean the apt cache? :x [23:31] clean :x [23:32] Hi guys [23:32] I believe this will solve the problem I have with xsane https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+source/hplip [23:32] you're annoying [23:32] my ubuntu without doing naything [23:32] it changes some graphics [23:32] to look bad [23:32] tru [23:32] anyone can help?

[23:54] us: and you're probably getting lots of nvrm:xid 13 errors in the kernel log [23:54] windows no longer have shadows [23:54] Hi [23:55] Please suugest about https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-server/2011-December/006016.html ? [23:55] suggest* [23:55] sokak any idea? [23:55] kaushal: if its a server thing, then #ubuntu-server [23:55] mody , i cant see how this can be related to ubuntu [23:55] then its related ot what? [23:55] it just happened [23:55] mody, are they turned on in compiz [23:55] rebooted and it came this way [23:56] where is compiz? [23:56] mody sorry, i got it as you were dual booting and *windows side* was no longer having shadows [23:56] compiz-config settings manager.

[23:58] ubuntu [23:58] :) [23:58] us, open a terminal and type grep -i nvrm /var/log/kern.log [23:59] mody, then install the settings manager, or the compiz fusion-icon, poking there may fix that [23:59] mody, the shadow controls are under the window decorations plugin in ccsm
